Intercede Instead



Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord:
- James 5:14 

It's amazing to see how people are quick to criticize, and pass judgment on others, when the Bible says, 'judge nothing before the time'.
For example: When you see something or someone in an abnormal state, the best thing to do is to intercede for them on their behalf. Because some of them may not even realize that they are under the oppression and influence of the devil.
The ones that realizes the manipulation of the devil, might quickly call for prayers, but the devil have a way of hiding himself from the troubles people go through.

Through intercession, the devil's antics will be revealed to the individual and for those around him/her to realize on-time that this is an affliction of the devil, and to react against it in a proper way.
Some illness people take medicine for are purely spiritual, there is no way medication can work for spiritual affliction, which is the situation in most cases.
The thing is, every believer is called into the ministry of intercession, it is not limited to certain individual or ministry office. You can get started today, the reward is immeasurable.
James 5:15 says, 
"And the prayer of faith shall save the sick(afflicted), and the Lord shall raise him up(from his/her affliction); and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him."

Jesus is Lord!

Press In

Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly.... – Colossians 3:16 Things in this old world aren't getting any better, and in recent times, the Holy Spirit has been speaking an urgent message to my heart. He's been saying, Press in. Draw in to a more intimate relationship with your heavenly Father. If you don't, you won't make it. If you do, you will see more glorious outpourings of God than you can imagine. That message isn't just for me. It's also for you—and for every other believer on the earth today. We are in the last of the last days of this age. Jesus is coming soon. It's an exciting time, but it's also a dangerous time. Those who don't do what the Spirit says, who don't press in to the Lord, are going to go from disaster to disaster. But those who do will defeat the disasters and turn them into glory, in Jesus' Name! Your first step in drawing closer to God is to realize that you know God first in His Word. Time spent meditating i...

In the world(unsaved) system, we work harder…and harder…and still fall behind. If we do find a way to get ahead, we pay a high price for it by sacrificing time in God’s WORD, our family relationships or our health. While the figures in our bankbooks tell us we’re getting richer, in reality we’re becoming poorer. That’s the way the world’s economic system works. One way or another, there’s always sorrow with it because it’s under the curse.  As believers, however, we are no longer under that curse! Jesus has redeemed us from it. We don’t have to earn a living with our sweat and toil. THE BLESSING makes us rich. Unlike the world, we aren’t BLESSED because we’re rich, we are rich because we’re BLESSED!. (kcm)#prosperityreality

SETTLED SOUL

  Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth. 3 John 1:2 The state of one's mind [ soul ] determines his/her place in destiny. In life people are forced to bow to pair pressure or any other kind of pressure when they don't have a stable mind, or let's say the person have identity issue.  When Satan tempted Christ Jesus on His way from the wilderness after forty days prayer and fasting, what was the first question he asked Him? "if thou be the Son of God" if Jesus had had identity issue, he would have fallen for temptation in the view to show off, as a result lost His place and purpose. Knowing fully well that God had said, "... Thou art my beloved Son; in thee I am well pleased." Lk. 3:22. Before embarking on the wilderness expenditure.  When you know who you are in the Word of God and are established in it; you wouldn't bow to the pressure of the world, because you see things differently....
