Good morning, brethren. 1. Morning devotion for today. MD.i. 😀💝🌺🎁🌹🎀 MORNING TEA THE WORD FOR TODAY FRIDAY AUGUST 14, 2O26. "PROMISES, PROMISES!' (1)" ‘…when you have done the will of God, you will receive what he has promised.’ Hebrews 10:36 NIV. MANY OF us remember singing in church, ‘Every promise in the Book is mine!’ Exciting words—but are they entirely true? If you’ve prayed for the fulfilment of a Bible promise that didn’t materialise, you may have wondered, felt disillusioned, or even stopped trusting. What’s true is that every promise in the Book intended for you, is yours! God is committed to keeping every promise He has made (Matthew 24:35). So how can you know which Bible promises are yours? Here are some scriptural guidelines to help you: 1) Be sure you understand the promise. God is committed to His Word, not to your interpretation of it. When Jesus said, ‘…Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up’ (John 2:19 NKJV), His audience completely misunderstood Him, thinking He meant the literal temple when He meant His body. 2) Walk in the Spirit, not the flesh. Walking in the Spirit, Peter received divine understanding of Christ’s deity. When Jesus asked, ‘Who do you say I am?’ Peter answered, ‘You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God.’ Jesus replied, ‘…this was not revealed to you by flesh and blood, but by my Father…’ (Matthew 16:15-17 NIV). Soon afterwards, walking in the flesh, the same man totally misunderstood Jesus and was severely rebuked by Jesus (Matthew 16:21-23). Why? Because ‘…the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God…nor can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned’ (1 Corinthians 2:14 NKJV). So submit your thoughts to God; pray for His guidance, and in due course, you’ll get the insight you need. Bible In A Year: Judg 12-15, Matt 17:14-27, Ps 119:81-88, Pro 17:27-28.

Examining the periods of the Christian Reformation, Revival, and Renaissance, he concludes that the darkest hour is often just before the dawn. Consequently, we should always be people of hope and prayer rather than gloom and defeatism. God can turn the situation around in a moment.* *The cleric took lessons from the experience of Habakkuk, the prophet who was struck with terror on learning from the Lord that the land of Judah would be attacked by the fierce Chaldean troops from Babylon. Already disturbed by the iniquities of injustice and impunity around him, on which he expected the Lord to act, Habakkuk was now informed that more disquietude was on the way. The prophet was made to understand that even the Chaldeans, who were to be used as an instrument of punishment, were themselves to face the wrath of God for their wickedness. His anxiety was relieved when he realised that the God of mercy he served was at the point of reviving His people in the process. He went on to intercede for precisely that.* *With humanity now also traumatised by sporadic assaults coming through technological inventions like Artificial Intelligence (AI), wars, insecurity, dysfunctional governance, threats of nuclear conflagration, there are fears that man is on the brink, looking into the bottomless abyss. Really? Not so. The Christian is challenged, rather, like Habakkuk, to plead for revival among the turmoil. It is the hour to ask for an unprecedented move of God's Spirit in the world, an event that should usher multitudes to repentance and turning to Christ for succour in trying times.* *The Lord's second coming is imminent, going by the signs we are witnessing. It is a timely call for vigilant heaven-seeking Christians to strengthen their commitment to holiness, evangelism, study of God's word, fellowship, and acts of kindness. We shouldn't be despondent as we observe the events that signal the end-time; instead, we should discern revival on the horizon.* ✍🏽```THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:``` _*Current global upheavals are not for our anxiety, but for our action.*_ 📜📜```THE BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:``` *JOB 22-25*📜📜 Quest For Revival https://dailymanna.app// *RECOMMENDED GOSPEL HYMNS AND SONGS - GHS 1: ALL YOUR ANXIETY; GHS 7: TURN YOUR EYES UPON JESUS; AND GHS 167: I MUST TELL JESUS* *TXD [THEXDEVOTIONALS] on Twitter* *#DailyManna15thAugust2026* *#GCK* *#WorshipNuggets* *#BibleNuggets* *#LeadershipNuggets* *#RevivalNuggets* *#CrusadeNuggets* https://www.youtube.com/[THEXDEVOTIONALS] [15/08, 12:10 am] Pastor Attah: ```DEEPER CHRISTIAN LIFE MINISTRY``` _*HIGHER EVERYD🅰️Y: (A DAILY DEVOTIONAL GUIDE FOR YOUTHS)*_ ✍🏽👩🏻‍💼🌻 🍇🙏🏽🛰🚀🔬📚 ```SATURDAY 15TH AUGUST, 2026``` *THE TREASURE IN TIMOTHY* 🎚️📓📖🫵🏽🙋🏽‍♂️🙋🏽‍♀️🧎🏽🧎🏽‍♀️🙏🏽 📜📜```TEXT:PHILIPPIANS 2:19-24```📜📜 📖``` MEMORY VERSE:``` _*"But I trust in the Lord Jesus to send Timothy shortly unto you, that I also may be of good comfort, when I know your state.

There are many contemporary cases of revival in addition to the one in Bible days. Jonah was used by God to bring Revival to the people of Nineveh where all the 120,000 inhabitants got convicted and converted. There were revivals in Israel during the time of king Hezekiah and Josiah. The Early Church also experienced great revival immediately after the Pentecost. When there is spiritual coldness and indifference to spiritual things, when there is no clear distinction between the world and the Church, when saints are distracted from heavenly desire to earthly preoccupation, then revival is needed. When the saints are weak, powerless and fainting in scriptural conviction and consecration, then we need revival. When formalism and entertainment fill our worship instead of true and holy devotion to God and heavenly things, revival is needed. In order to experience revival, there must be deep concern and burden for prayer coupled with passion for revival. It takes a revived person to be an instrument of revival. *1. The Man of Prayer* a. The man God uses must be a man of bended knees with power of prayer. *"A prayer of Habakkuk the prophet upon Shigionoth.”* Habakkuk was not merely a prophet who preached; he was also a man who prayed. His direct communication with God was not clogged. God could express His mind and vision to him clearly and He also could hear from God and communicate with God effectively and fruitfully. He was a true servant of God that stood between God and man as mediator. He lived a life that was pleasing to God and God could speak to him about people. He dwelt in the midst of compromised and corrupted people without being defiled and with boldness to declare unto them their sins and evil as God had told him without fear or favour. His response to the difficult circumstances surrounding Judah was to seek God. The spiritual condition of a nation should drive God's servants to their knees. Revival begins when someone becomes sufficiently burdened to pray as he comes out of the cocoon of self seeking and self satisfaction. b. There is no revival that ever came in human history without people who had the passion and power of prayer from God. Habakkuk's prayer demonstrates that prayer is not a sign of weakness, but an expression of dependence upon the Almighty. The revival God wants to bring may begin with one person who is willing to stand before Him in persistent intercession. Churches need prayer warriors who will carry the burden of their generation before God. The praying saints or warriors that bring revival concentrate their prayers on heavenly things and not on earthly benefits and blessings. Earnest, consistent and persistent prayers by holy people with deep burden and passion for the glory of God, salvation of souls and perfection of saints are indispensable to a true God sent revival. *Question* Am I sufficiently burdened by the spiritual condition of my generation to become a man or woman of prayer? *2. The Manifestation of Passion* *"O LORD, I have heard thy speech, and was afraid"*. Habakkuk's prayer reveals intense spiritual passion. Having heard God's Word and understood His dealings with His people, he was moved deeply. He was such a person that was not indifferent to the Word of God. The Word of God moved, burned and melted his heart. It became fire in his bones that only revival could quench. First he heard the voice of God. Second he was afraid. He was like Noah who, after hearing the Word of God, believed and *"being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house"* (Hebrews 11:7). True passion for God is not passive. It actively engages in things that will bring change and revival. b. Passion for revival means longing to see God glorified, sinners saved, believers renewed and righteousness restored. Habakkuk did not ask God merely to improve circumstances; he asked Him to revive His work. True revival passion is therefore God-centred rather than man-centred. We must pray until spiritual hunger replaces spiritual complacency. *Question* Does my prayer life demonstrate a genuine passion for God to revive His work in my generation? *3. The Mercy from the Potentate* a. What does this world need desperately from God? Mercy! The degree of worldliness and ungodliness are inexcusable. Man deliberately lives his life, spurning His Word and commandments as if God does not exist. Saints' lives are soiled with carnality, worldliness and corruption. Their focus has shifted from serving the Lord to what mundane things the Lord will give to them. b. Passionate prayer for the mercy of God is an indication that we accept that God has been offended and He is angry at us because of our coldness and carnality. It should always be a prayer point constantly. *“In the midst of the years make known; in wrath remember mercy.”* Habakkuk recognized God as the sovereign Potentate who has authority to judge, revive, restore and show mercy. He therefore pleaded, *“in wrath remember mercy.”* Revival cannot be manufactured by human ability; it must come through divine mercy and sovereign intervention. The prophet understood that although God's people might deserve judgment, God's mercy could provide restoration. This should encourage us to approach God humbly and plead for mercy upon the Church, families, communities, and nations. When God shows mercy, dry bones can live again, cold hearts can burn again and His work can flourish again. *Question* Am I humbly pleading with the sovereign God to remember mercy and revive His work in our generation? What decision are you making to be an agent of revival in your church and community? *Prayer Points* 1.O Lord, make me a man/woman of prayer, burdened continually for revival and spiritual awakening🙏. 2.O Lord, ignite within me an unquenchable passion for Your glory and the advancement of Your work 🙏. 3.O Lord, the sovereign Potentate, revive Your work in the Church, in families and throughout our nation 🙏. 4 Lord, in wrath remember mercy; pour out Your Spirit, save the lost, restore the backslidden and let genuine revival come upon our generation 🙏. *HYMN:* Come Holy Spirit *BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:* JOB 22-25. 2.

Lifeline Today Saturday August 15 Very Far from Evil In righteousness you shall be established; You shall be far from oppression, for you shall not fear; And from terror, for it shall not come near you. Isaiah 54:14 (NKJV) God putting you right with Him puts you at a distance from oppression as far as the east is from the west and the north from the south. It is not only your spirit that is at distance, even your mind and your physical body. You are far from oppression because you are no longer in the territory of the oppressor; you are in the kingdom of light by reason of your salvation. You are also far from terror because of your right standing with God. Terror means overwhelming feeling of fear and anxiety. It is the instrument the terrorist uses to paralyse faith and neutralise confidence in God. It is when the terrorist succeeds in instilling fear that he hands over the person to the oppressor. Your salvation which is divine visitation is a limitation to the terrorist whether from hell or from the world. This is your day. Wisdom Fountain: “Divine freedom from oppression is the spiritual truth that no human chains can bind a soul aligned with the Divine.” Prayer: Heavenly Father, I come with a heart full of thanks. You broke my chains and lifted the heavy weight of oppression. You are my strong tower, and I praise You for your saving power and sweet release in Jesus’ name.

may the good Lord heal us from any infirmity, i pray and declare unto anyone reading this post, that you shall not die before your time, may the host of doctors Angelic visitation meet your needs, when 1000 rise against thee 10,000 shall stand besides you and fight for you in the name of Jesus! Amen. May you walk on the path of Yahweh the Light of men. #lordsbook #christian #faith #Jesus

❤️HOW TO KNOW GOD'S WILL FOR IMPORTANT DECISIONS IN YOUR LIFE. Part 5 of 6. How God Makes Known His Will for Specific Decisions and Needs. Continued. God is under no obligation to fulfill the promise in James 1:5 to give us wisdom unless we are willing to meet the conditions for obtaining it. Moreover, God declares that He only answers prayer when the motive is right, and that mere asking is not sufficient (Jam. 4:3). Frequently the Christian prays for guidance, or a revelation of God's will about some matter, but already has his mind made up as to what he wants to do, or how he would like for God to answer. Some people have been known to lie awake all night pleading with God to answer their prayer with no higher motive than the desire to persuade Him to come over to their side and give them their own way. Therefore, it is just as great a fallacy to emphasize the notion which is so popular today that prayer is the solution to all our problems, as it is to neglect prayer, using it only in an emergency. That is to say, we find the unscriptural idea being promoted on every hand that mere prayer is supposed to be the panacea for all our needs. In every time of crisis, when problems or troubles arise, when a difficult or seemingly impossible situation confronts us, the first thing most people advise is prayer. "Have you tried prayer?" they will ask. Or we are told, quite sincerely, "Did you know, prayer changes things?" They do not tell us, of course, just how prayer will change things, nor do they teach us how to pray about the problem confronting us. We are not advised, furthermore, as to whether or not God requires anything from us in the matter. "Just pray" we are told, "for prayer usually helps." However, as we have seen, God clearly states that He does not answer every prayer, in fact, He emphatically declares that He does not even hear our prayers unless they meet the conditions He has set forth in His Word. One of the most important conditions we must meet when asking for divine wisdom and guidance is that we must ask in faith, believing, without any reservations, that God will answer our request. This is clearly stated in James 1:5-7: "If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraids not; and it shall be given him. But how? Let him ask in faith, nothing doubting; for he that doubts is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed. For let not that man think that he shall receive anything of the Lord." The prayer of faith is simply a prayer of expectation. What God tells us here in James 1:5-7 is that when we ask for divine wisdom and guidance we should pray expecting Him to grant our desire. Moreover, the prayer of faith is to be offered but once, for Jesus tells us in Mark 11:24, 'What things soever you desire, when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you shall have them." Faith asks but once for God to fulfill a promise. To continue to pray, pleading with God to answer, is our confession that I do not really believe that He has answered when we pray as He tells us to do (Mark 11:24). In view of this fact, if we pray ten times for the same promise, we have prayed nine times in unbelief, for faith knows when to stop praying about the promise and start praising God for the answer. There is a time to stop praying or you will pray yourself out of faith. When is this? You should always stop praying for a promise when you believe you have received the answer. Since Jesus tells us to believe we have received when we pray, quite obviously we should do our believing and receiving when we pray. Then we should cease praying for the answer and begin praising God that the manifestation of the answer is on the way. Jesus does not say in Mark 11:24 that the symptoms will improve immediately when we pray, or that the circumstances will show immediate change, but that we are to believe that He has both heard and granted our petition when we pray and that we shall have it. Faith keeps a distinction between accepting the answer and receiving it to our sight. We are to accept the answer when we pray (believe that God has granted our petition), and we shall have it (manifested to our sight). Merely because we do not see it immediately does not mean that God has not heard our petition and granted the answer, but only that He has not manifested the answer as yet. The question often arises concerning the widow and the judge in Luke 18, as to whether or not Jesus here approves of repetition in prayer for the same thing. This is not, however, an instance of repetition prayer, for Jesus would not contradict Himself elsewhere, but here He is stressing the need of persistence and perseverance in prayer; that is, holding onto a promise by faith, reaffirming daily, by praise and thanksgiving, that we believe that He has heard and granted our petition. In Matthew 6:7-8, Jesus condemns repetition prayer as typical of the prayers of the heathen, saying, "But when you pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking," but "when you pray believe that you receive" (Mk. 11:24). Our first concern, therefore, when guidance from heaven is needed is not merely to resort to the shallow suggestion we so often hear today that one should "try prayer" as it may help, but it should be a time of searching the Word, and then our hearts, to see if we are fulfilling the conditions for God hearing our prayers and granting our petitions. As A. W. Tower once remarked, the popular notion that God always answers prayer (with "yes" or "no") is a device of Satan to deceive the carnal or indifferent Christian whose request was not answered because of his failure to meet God's conditions. To think that God always answers prayer, even if He says "no," is to take God's refusal to answer a disobedient Christian as the answer itself, contending, "Well, after all, God did answer me - He said 'no'." Such a view of prayer is contrary to Scripture, for God clearly states that He does not even hear those prayers which are not in harmony with His will (1 Jn 5:14-15; Ps. 66:18). Moreover, if an individual erroneously believes the popular notion that God always answers any prayer, and that "no" can also be an answer, then this person is never challenged to face the fact that his failure to receive an answer was due to his disobedience, lack of faith, or his failure to meet some other condition. I can personally testify to the fact that when we are careful to meet the scriptural requirements, then God delights in directing our steps, giving divine guidance and wisdom concerning those matters we place before Him. Thank God it is true, if any man lacks wisdom he may ask of God and it shall be given to him. Do you need wisdom or guidance in some important matter? Have you tried asking God, and in faith expecting Him to answer you? You are invited to do so in James 1:5. By Direct Revelation; As stated at the beginning of Chapter 2, there are eight scriptural methods by which God's will is revealed - three are active, in which we take the initiative, and five are passive, whereby we become the recipients of divine revelation concerning God's will for us. Passive revelation always comes to us unsought. Direct revelation may be either by vision, as in the case of Paul's vision in Acts 16 which was revelation of God's will for him to carry the Gospel into Europe; by direct voice, as seen in the case of God's call of Samuel (1 Sam. 3); by angelic visitation, as, for example, in the angel's visit to Mary and his revelation to her of the birth of Christ; or by dream, as we find, for instance in God's revelation to Daniel of the establishment of His Kingdom (Dan. 7). Jesus promised to continue revelation to the Church after His ascension, saying, Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself, but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak; and he will show you things to come (Jn. 16:13). When the Church lost the experience of the baptism in the Holy Spirit, she closed the channel and source of revelation. As a consequence, the Church changed her theology to conform with her experience, and there arose the erroneous concept that God purposed that all revelation was to cease with the apostles in the first century. It is interesting that there is not a word in the Scriptures to support this theory, but, on the contrary, God clearly states in 2 Corinthians 12-14 and Ephesians 4:11 that He has set in the church the gifts and ministries of revelation. In Romans 12:3-6 and 1 Corinthians 14 He admonishes us to ask for and use the gift of prophecy. In Joel 2 He clearly promises that in the last days "I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams" (2:17); While He promised in John 16:13, quoted above, to continue revelation to the Church through the Holy Spirit whom He would send. The various methods by which He would give His people direct revelation are stated to be by means of prophecy, vision and dream (Num. 12:6; Acts 2:17-18; 1Cor. 12; 14), by direct voice and vision (Jn. 16:13), "speak"' and "show" and on occasion, by angelic visitation (e.g. Luke 1; Acts 10:12; 27:23-24; cf. Heb. 13:2). It is important that we understand that although God occasionally uses each of the passive methods of revelation to unveil His will to us when He so chooses, we should not seek guidance by these means. Why does God choose the direct means of revelation, as, for example, through visions and dreams as a method of communication of His will and purpose? Why does He not merely illumine our minds as to His will as we pray or read His Word seeking guidance? Among other reasons, occasionally He must speak directly to us because of the urgency of the matter about which we are seeking guidance which must be dealt with immediately, or in a certain way, often contrary to what our wisdom and logic might tell us to do. At other times He speaks directly, imparting instruction or guidance, not concerning some matter about which we are praying, but about some important purpose which He wants to accomplish in or through us, which could only be made known to us by direct revelation. Again He speaks to us in visions for the obvious reason that one picture is worth a thousand words. God sometimes communicates His will to us through dreams, inasmuch as the state of sleep has certain definite advantages. At this time the conscious mind is at rest and is free from distractions. The spirit, of course, remains awake and can accept without analyzing and questioning what God desires to impart to us. Moreover, through the medium of vision and dream God can impress upon us revelation which transcends the sense realm and the ability of the intellect alone to comprehend. In some instances, God speaks directly in an audible voice in order to instruct us or reveal His will in some matter. By Indirect Revelation: God speaks to us occasionally by direct means, but generally He communicates His will to us indirectly. It may in the form of an inward knowing or witness in our spirit, or it may come as an inner witness to our spirit, or it may come as an inner witness from the Holy Spirit. At other times the Holy Spirit may give the guidance we need by the illumination of our minds to understand and interpret some portions of scripture which He will direct us to, or by giving the necessary wisdom and insight we require to make the correct decision concerning some matter about which we have prayed for direction. It is in the realm of indirect revelation that the importance of being completely yielded to the Holy Spirit is so evident, as was pointed out in the first chapter. To the extent one is yielded to the Spirit will he be sensitive to His voice when He speaks, and to the extent one is sensitive to His voice will he be able to respond. Moreover, there are many voices seeking to influence the believer, some of which are from God and some are not. Unless one is fully yielded he may be insensitive to the voice of the Spirit, or be deceived and ensnared by that which is false. A small puppy will respond to anyone who calls or offers it a crust of bread, but a well trained mature dog will not do so. It is sensitive only to the voice of its owner. It did not get this way by spending all its time running and playing with the other dogs, but it is the result of devoting long hours in discipline and training, learning to obey and respond to the voice of its master. We become sensitive to the influence and leading of the Spirit in the same manner. God is preparing His children for spiritual warfare ahead which will consist of men and women who will be so sensitive to the voice of the Spirit they will respond immediately and obey without question. Like a computer, they will be able to filter out that which is false and sense any error immediately. They will not have to call the pastor and ask if this or that doctrine is scriptural, or whether the prophecy which they heard is true or false, or whether or not some task they feel led to undertake is from God, the flesh, or the devil. However, the only way the believer will become sensitive will be through total consecration to Jesus and fully yielding to the Spirit. At present we find Christians so untrained in the Scriptures and so insensitive to the voice of the Spirit that many frequently will reject what God is saying and allow themselves to be deceived by that which is false and unscriptural, just as Jesus predicted would occur in these last days (Matt 24; 2 Tim 4:1-4). Again and again we are hearing of those who are falling victim to various errors, such as ultimate reconciliation where God will save everyone regardless if they repent or not including the devil and his demons, false hyper-grace gospel where a Christian does not need to confess sin after he is saved or does not need repentance to stay in fellowship with God, errors on the Godhead where they deny that the Father, Son, Holy Spirit are co-eternal and co-equal, once saved always saved that it does not matter how a person lives his life after salvation, we are all sinners even after salvation and no need to live a consecrated life, the give to get carnal prosperity gospel where you give me money and 100 fold comes back so you will be rich. Or the heresy taught by some that Jesus had to become a sinner on the cross to redeem us and suffered three days in hell tormented by demons. We find others, in a time where we are witnessing the revival of all forms of the occult, being deluded by believing everything supernatural is from heaven, and everyone who prophesies, has a vision, or predicts the future is from God. We find men and women calling themselves Apostles and Prophets commonly now who were never appointed or anointed from heaven but self-appointed deceiving many. As Jesus said, take heed lest YOU be deceived. (Matt 24:4) DISCERNING THE VOICE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT AND RECOGNIZING THE WITNESS WITHIN; In order to mature in faith and become effective instruments in God's hands so that we will be in the right place at the right time, doing the right thing, it is necessary for us to learn how to recognize the inner witness of the Spirit, as well as discern the voice of the Holy Spirit. These are the two basic ways by which God leads and directs His people, whether in answer to some prayer for guidance, or in order to fulfill His will and purpose in their lives. We find that God frequently endeavors to speak to His people by means of the voice of His Spirit in order to direct guide, teach, or influence them along some line, but since they have not been taught how to discern His voice He often goes unheeded. Jesus said, "My sheep hear my voice and they follow me" Jn. 10:27). How can they follow Him if they do not know how to discern His voice? He certainly did not mean that He intended to shout down out of heaven in order to direct them, but He did promise that He would speak to them by His Spirit which would be within them: "Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you in all truth" (John 16:13), and "he shall teach you in all things" (14:26). Some Christians are waiting for God to give them a revelation through a vision or prophecy concerning His will for them, or regarding some important matter about which they are praying, when, if they only realized it, God is already trying to communicate His will to them by His Spirit within them. If they would spend a little more time in His Word and in prayer, and be willing to get still before Him for a while, then they would begin to discern His voice and hear Him speaking inwardly to their spirits. The inner voice of the Holy Spirit is the voice of God speaking directly to your spirit in order to guide, admonish, teach, warn, or influence you concerning some matter (about which you may or may not be praying). God also enables us to know His will regarding some matter about which we are praying, or about some question which concerns us, by means of a witness within. This is an inward knowing in your spirit that a certain contemplated action on your part, or some doctrine, or revelation, for example, is right or wrong. Not only is the Christian the temple of the Holy Spirit, Who abides within to speak the direct revelation of God's will to him (Jn 16:13; 1 Cor. 2:10-13), but he also has, by virtue of the new birth, a new heart to discern spiritual things himself, and know the will of God intuitively by his own spirit (1 Cor. 2:14-16). He has received an anointing which abides in him and teaches him all things (1 Jn. 2:27). Thus, we find that it is also through his own enlightened spirit that the Christian is able by an inward knowing or witness to discern whether or not something is right or wrong. Let us say, for example, that you are praying about some matter about which you must make a decision, such as whether or not to buy a certain piece of property, marry a particular individual, or accept an invitation to speak to some religious group. If after thinking and praying about the question you find that inwardly there is a positive confirmation in your spirit to go ahead in the matter, or, you find that you experience a sense of uncertainty, reluctance, or heaviness of spirit, then this is an inner witness in your spirit informing you of God's will in the matter. In the former instance, your spirit was witnessing to you to go ahead, and in the latter, it was a warning not to take the proposed action. The witness within is an inward knowing intuitively, through the enlightened spirit of a Christian, that a certain contemplated action, a doctrine, some individual, or a ministry, for instance, is right or wrong, whereas the inner voice of the Holy Spirit is God speaking directly by His Spirit within you concerning some matter. It must be stressed, however, that the inward witness and the inner voice of the Spirit are not merely some "feeling" we may have about a matter. They have nothing to do with what one feels either with the physical senses or the emotions. It is either an inward knowing (inner witness) that something is right or wrong, or it is an inner awareness that the Spirit of God is speaking directly to our spirit about some matter (inner voice of the Spirit).

Good morning, brethren. 1. Morning devotion for today. MD.i. 😀💝🌺🎁🌹🎀 MORNING TEA THE WORD FOR TODAY MONDAY AUGUST 10, 2O26. "WORKING IN THE KINGDOM (1)" ‘…whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant. Mark10:43 NIV DISNEYLAND IS referred to as ‘the Magic Kingdom.’ For those who work there, one value is emphasised above all others. It’s what puts the ‘magic’ into that kingdom. What is it? Servanthood! Employees are told that when you walk through those gates, you serve. You treat every encounter with people as if they were your personal guest. If they need directions, you escort them. If they ask a question you’ve heard a hundred times, you answer it as if you’d never heard it before. There’s a ride called the Jungle Cruise, and the most common question asked about it is, ‘How long is this ride?’ So the staff is given a prepared, standard answer: ‘The Jungle Cruise is an exciting adventure ride that lasts ten minutes.’ But one employee had been asked it once too often, so when a couple asked, ‘How long is the Jungle Cruise?’ he said, ‘Three days.’ The couple got out of the line, left the park, went back to Disney Hotel where they were on their honeymoon, packed up their suitcases, checked out, and came back to the line at the Jungle Cruise. The next day the Disneyland employee was gone, and someone else was standing at the line saying, ‘The Jungle Cruise is an exciting adventure ride that lasts ten minutes.’ When you represent God’s kingdom you’re supposed to go out of your way to facilitate people, love them and meet their needs. Why? Because Jesus, Who is the king in this kingdom, said, ‘…the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve…’ (Matthew 20:28 NIV).

And he said unto him, Thy prayers and thine alms are come up for a memorial before God" (ACTS 10:4).*_ *Jack Wugman was walking down the beach one day. He saw an unusual glass bottle. He bent over and picked up the bottle. His life would be forever changed. There was a note inside, from a man named Singer, who invented and perfected the sewing machine. Singer penned a note, WHOEVER FINDS THIS BOTTLE SHALL INHERIT MY WHOLE ESTATE. The judge validated the note, and Jack inherited millions of dollars from a man he had never met. What if Jack never picked up the bottle? It definitely was a pivotal moment in Wugman's life.* *Not everyone reading this today has a bottle floating out there with a million-dollar inheritance, no. But there are pivotal moments God has set for each of our lives. A life-changing moment that is not orchestrated by man, nor induced by any goodness or nobility any of us may have in our history. Cornelius was said to be a devout man who gave alms to support people. He was not an Israelite, but a Roman soldier, a gentile, outside of the commonwealth of Israel. Being a centurion means he was a leader over 100 men. An angel was sent to him by God to acknowledge his devoutness and alms giving. Knowing that that wasn't enough, he was directed to invite Apostle Peter to expound to him the gospel requirements for salvation more perfectly.* *The text highlights the significance of understanding Cornelius's character as the key to his esteemed relationship with God, which transcended his position as a centurion. Despite his military rank and prestige, Cornelius's true legacy lay in his love for the Lord and his generosity. His devout lifestyle inspired others, yet it was emphasised that neither good deeds nor religious piety can secure salvation; faith in the Gospel is essential. The angel's visit to Cornelius was not intended to preach the Gospel, as it is divinely decreed that those who have experienced salvation share the Gospel message, underscoring that salvation is a matter of grace through faith, not works.* *The main lesson here is the need to impact the world with our resources. We are remembered for what we do for others. God has left a far more valuable treasure for us than whatever was promised by Mr. Singer in our introduction. God wants to use us to tell other people about this treasure. We need to urgently preach Christ to our neighbours. He is the only way to eternal life.* ✍🏽```THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:``` _*He who shuns the offer of salvation makes vain the sacrifice of Christ.*_ 📜📜```THE BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:``` *JOB 5-8*📜📜 A Pivotal Moment https://dailymanna.app// *RECOMMENDED GOSPEL HYMNS AND SONGS - GHS 158: COME BELIEVING; GHS 106: TELL THE WHOLE WIDE WORLD; GHS 107: GO AND TELL THEM; AND GHS 124 CHRIST RECEIVETH SINFUL MEN* *TXD [THEXDEVOTIONALS] on Twitter* *#DailyManna10thAugust2026* *#GCK* *#WorshipNuggets* *#BibleNuggets* *#LeadershipNuggets* *#RevivalNuggets* *#CrusadeNuggets* https://www.youtube.com/[THEXDEVOTIONALS] [09/08, 7:49 pm] Pastor Attah: ```DEEPER CHRISTIAN LIFE MINISTRY``` _*HIGHER EVERYD🅰️Y: (A DAILY DEVOTIONAL GUIDE FOR YOUTHS)*_ ✍🏽👩🏻‍💼🌻 🍇🙏🏽🛰🚀🔬📚 ```MONDAY 10TH AUGUST, 2026``` *ATTITUDE OF APPRECIATION* 🎚️📓📖🫵🏽🙋🏽‍♂️🙋🏽‍♀️🧎🏽🧎🏽‍♀️🙏🏽 📜📜```TEXT:LUKE 17:11-19```📜📜 📖``` MEMORY VERSE:``` _*"And one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, and with a loud voice glorified God, And fell down on his face at his feet, giving him thanks: and he was a Samaritan" (LUKE 17:15-16).*_ *Just like the nine lepers who were cleansed and healed but never returned to show appreciation to Jesus who healed them, so do many find it highly unnecessary to testify of the goodness of God after receiving miracles from Him today.

"How can you say that"* protested the barber. *"I am here and I am a barber; what happens is that people do not come."* *"Exactly,"* said the Christian. *"God does exist, but man do not go to Him and do not look up to Him for the solution to their problems.

And he said unto him, Thy prayers and thine alms are come up for a memorial before God. 5 And now send men to Joppa, and call for one Simon, whose surname is Peter: 6 He lodgeth with one Simon a tanner, whose house is by the sea side: he shall tell thee what thou oughtest to do. 7 And when the angel which spake unto Cornelius was departed, he called two of his household servants, and a devout soldier of them that waited on him continually; 8 And when he had declared all these things unto them, he sent them to Joppa *Timeless Truth:*_"But if it be of God, ye cannot overthrow it; lest haply ye be found even to fight against God"_ (Acts 5:39). *INTRODUCTION* There is no way of worshipping God that has faced so much oppositions from both powers and peoples as the gospel of Jesus Christ. If human powers and wisdom could destroy Christianity and the Bible, they would have been destroyed not long after it was birthed at pentecost. The Jewish leaders did all they could to stop the Gospel, but it was birthed by pentecostal power and became dominant among the Jews. The external powers could not stop the spread. Apostle Peter, by the Holy Spirit, opened the door for the evangelization of the Jews at Pentecost in fulfilment of Matthew 16:19 despite the stiff oppositions by the Jews. *"And I will give unto you the keys of the kingdom..."* Though Jesus Christ commanded that the Gospel should be preached *"to the uppermost part of the world"*, the mindset of the Apostles was to preach the gospel to the Jews exclusively in *"the uppermost part of the world"*. Jesus had to break this mindset by using Apostle Peter to bring the gospel of salvation to the non-Jews or Gentiles, thus, breaking the internal barrier to the salvation of the Gentiles. This monumental breakthrough in the preaching of the Gospel is the subject of the text. When God determines to save a soul, no barrier of race, culture, distance, status or tradition can ultimately stop Him. The Gospel advances because God Himself is committed to its fulfilment. *1. Ardent and Faithful to God* a. Cornelius was not the first Gentile convert of the Gospel. Phillip, seven years before then, had preached the gospel that led to the conversion of the Eunuch of Ethiopia (Acts 8). That was made possible through the ministry of an angel. Were it left to Phillip to decide and preach to the Gentile Eunuch, he might have refused. Cornelius and his family were the first Gentile family or household to receive the Gospel and and got converted. Under the Law, we could claim that he was saved and righteous, though a Gentile. *“A devout man, and one that feared God with all his house.”* His deep devotion was backed up by works. *"Who gave much alms to the people and prayed always"*. Under salvation by works, he was a candidate for heaven. However, under the gospel of salvation by grace, he was not qualified for heaven. He needed to know Jesus Christ, the only way to God, and believe the Gospel. *"Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved"* (Acts 4:12). If Cornelius had rejected the gospel, but relied only on his righteousness, he would have been damned. *"He that believeth not shall be dammed"*. b. The case of Cornelius reinforces the fact that good works and personal righteousness are not enough for salvation. In fact, faithful devotion to God in prayers, fasting and good works are too impotent to bring real salvation to the heart of man. There must be faith in the atoning work of Christ on the Cross and acceptance of Jesus as Lord and Saviour. Outside Christ, *"all our righteousness is as filthy rags"* (Isaiah 64:6). *Question* Do you rely on your good works and self righteousness for salvation? *2. Angelic Facilitators of the Gospel* a. When Phillip, the evangelist, first got a gentile converted, it took the ministry of an angel. The same to Apostle Peter and the conversion of the Cornelius and his family. The conversion of Cornelius was more celebrated and noticed by the Early Church because, unlike the Eunuch of Ethiopia, Cornelius was not only saved, his whole family was included and they also received the baptism with the Holy Spirit with the initial evidence of speaking in unlearned and unknown language. None of these two ministers would have reached out to those Gentiles without the ministry of the angels because of their biases against Gentiles when it came to salvation of souls. Cornelius *"saw in a vision evidently...an angel of God coming"*. The angel called him by name and assured him that his prayers and charitable deeds had come before God as a memorial. Sinners who are sincere with God will always be given the opportunity to know the truth unto salvation. This throws a challenge to Christians to be sensitive to God as to who and when to reach out to a soul. This divine visitation demonstrates that heaven was actively working to bring Cornelius into contact with the Gospel. God was more eager to get him saved than anybody else including Apostle Peter. He is *"not willing that any should perish"*. b. God can employ extraordinary means to advance His saving purpose. Angels may facilitate God's work, but they do not replace the preaching of the Gospel. The angel did not preach Christ to Cornelius; instead, he directed Cornelius to send for Apostle Peter. God uses heavenly and earthly instruments together to accomplish His redemptive purposes. The divine-human partnertship are needed to effect the work of God and in particular the preaching of the gospel. Believers therefore, must be prayerful and sensitive to divine guidance in order to be fruitful. The less we rely on the arms of the flesh and the more we put our full confidence and trust in the guidance of the power of the Holy Spirit, the more fruitful we will be in the work of soulwinning. *Question* Am I available for God to use me as an instrument through whom someone else may hear and receive the Gospel? Do I wait on God to receive divine guidance in soulwinning? *3. Assignment Towards Gospel Fullness* Cornelius' salvation is rooted in his obedience to the voice of God and not the voice of any other. He was not only saved, but was baptized with the Holy Spirit. It must be observed that apart from the fact that Phillip did not publish the conversion of the Eunuch, he did not minister the baptism with the Holy Ghost to him. Cornelius and his household were baptized with the Holy Spirit while Apostle Peter was still preaching.There was an uproar and noise that the Gentiles could get the same experience of power of the Holy Spirit. The world cannot receive the Holy Spirit and the devils hate the power of the Holy Spirit too for obvious reasons. Salvation in Christ Jesus is a complete salvation. However, salvation without the power of the Holy Spirit is insufficient for a believer to do great exploits for God and be a terror to the kingdom of darkness. The Holy Spirit is given to them that obey Him. *"And we are his witnesses of these things; and so is also the Holy Ghost, whom God hath given to them that obey him"* (Acts 5:32). Cornelius did not delay, debate or disregard the divine instruction. His obedience became an important link in God's plan to bring the fullness of the Gospel to his household. This reminds us that divine instructions demand human cooperation. God may open doors, prepare hearts and arrange circumstances, but believers must respond obediently. *Question* What Gospel assignment has God placed before me and am I faithfully obeying Him without delay like Cornelius and Apostle Peter did? *Prayer Points* 1.Lord, teach me more never to rely on my personal goodness and righteousness for divine favour and salvation 🙏. 2.Father, make me a willing instrument through whom You can facilitate the spread of the Gospel to others. Help me to be sensitive to divine guidance 🙏. 3.Lord, I ask for more power of the Holy Spirit for more fruitfulness in the preaching of the gospel 🙏. 4.Father, give understanding to the church goers (you can mention names) who are not yet saved because they are trusting their self righteousness and good works and help them to get real and genuine salvation in Christ🙏. *HYMN:* GO AND TELL THE STORY *BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:* JOB 5-8. 2.

Not every prophet carries a message. Some carry a weight. A holy heaviness that settles upon the soul without asking permission. They cannot explain it. Only bear it. The world calls it sadness. Heaven calls it the burden of the Lord. Before Jeremiah spoke with fire, he wept. Before Ezekiel prophesied, he sat astonished among the captives. Before Habakkuk received his answer, he first carried his questions. The Nabi does not merely hear God's voice. He feels God's heart. There are nights when the Seer does not lose sleep because of anxiety. He loses sleep because heaven is awake. There are prayers that were never born from human concern. They were conceived in the heart of God and placed within the spirit of a prophet. The burden comes before the word. The tears before the sermon. The groaning before the prophecy. Many seek the Lord's voice. Few ask to carry His heart. For His heart is heavy. Heavy with mercy. Heavy with longing. Heavy with nations that have forgotten Him. Heavy with sons who have wandered. Heavy with cities that know not their visitation. This is why the true prophet cannot always explain his tears. Some tears are borrowed from God. Some sighs did not originate in the human soul. Some grief belongs to Another. The burden is not punishment. It is partnership. God allows a prophet to feel what He feels, so that the earth may hear what heaven is saying. Do not envy the burden. It is expensive. It will break your pride. Silence your ambition. Empty your strength. Until the only thing remaining is the heart of God beating within the heart of a man. For the greatest honour of the Nabi is not merely to speak the Word of the Lord. It is to carry the burden of the Lord until His heart becomes your own.

"One of humanity's greatest tragedies is to miss the time of God's visitation. When God draws near and man fails to recognize Him, the consequences can echo through generations." — Amb. Anthony PM Jaiah

❤️HOW TO KNOW GOD'S WILL FOR IMPORTANT DECISIONS IN YOUR LIFE. Part 1 of 6. God’s Basic Will for Every Christian. "Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is" (Eph. 5:17). How does God make known His will to us? He revealed His will to Joseph in dreams, warning him to take Mary into Egypt with the child Jesus; and again, after the death of Herod, God instructed him in another dream to return to Palestine. He spoke directly to Samuel during the night, and to Moses from a burning bush, imparting to them revelation concerning His will and purpose. God revealed His plan for the redemption of the Gentiles in a vision to Peter, and sent an angelic messenger from heaven to Zechariah announcing the birth of John the Baptist who was to be the forerunner of Christ. In answer to the prayers of the Church at Antioch, the Holy Spirit made known God's will concerning the apostolic ministry of Paul and Barnabas (Acts13), while He confirmed His purpose to Gideon through the use of a fleece. He continually imparted, both to Israel and the Church, revelation of His will and purpose through His anointed prophets. Also the Scriptures themselves, as seen for example in Paul's epistles to the churches, were intended as a divinely inspired revelation of God's will for the believer. In these and other ways, God has unfolded His will and purpose in the past, and continues to the present time. God has a plan for the life of every believer; and it is His desire, by one method or another, to reveal His will to you. The Christian may be assured that there is no need to stumble through life bewildered and confused, imploring heaven for divine guidance, as if God must be persuaded to give us help and direction. On the contrary, the Scriptures not only declare over and over God's willingness to make known His will to us, but also tells us that He has provided the means whereby we may ascertain it. This will be unfolded in the following studies which set forth: God's basic will for every Christian, and how God makes known His will for specific decisions and needs. God's plan and purpose for your life did not begin the day you were born–it did not begin when you were saved–it did not begin at the time you received the baptism in the Holy Spirit– but the Scriptures declare that you were chosen in Christ before the foundation of the world, and have been called to fulfill His purpose in you (Rom. 8:28-30; Eph. 1:3-6). You will find that God many times has been working in the circumstances of your life months or years before He reveals some aspect of His purpose to you. The popular notion held by most Christians that God's plan for our lives does not begin until our conversion. That God, like man, is more or less at the mercy of our circumstances, in that He must wait until He learns what we are going to do, or not do, and then adjusts His plans accordingly, has absolutely no basis in Scripture. On the contrary, the Scriptures show that God already has a complete and perfect plan for every Christian's life, and that it does not fluctuate and change to conform to our notions and beliefs. Nor does He adjust it to fit our lives when we do not know His will for us, but He expects us to seek diligently to learn His will and do it. One basic cause for much of the sickness, worry, anxiety, frustration, and failure of the Christian life is directly related to his lack of knowledge concerning God's will for him, and, as a consequence, he finds himself compelled to live much of the time in a state of confusion, disharmony, and defeat. How then can we learn God's will and put an end to such frustration and failure in order to fulfill His plan and purpose for our lives? This will be made clear in the discussion which follows. STUDY 1 God’s Basic Will for Every Christian. Basically, God's will for every believer is three-fold. While God's will and purpose for the individual Christian will vary, inasmuch as no two individuals are alike in their needs, spiritual maturity, understanding, obedience, or their function in the Body of Christ, nevertheless, His will is the same for every believer in three important areas. These are a vital and necessary part of the Christian experience, as well as in the fulfillment of God's will in our lives. Upon conversion, the believer is expected first of all to– 1. Receive the Promise of the Spirit. And being assembled together with them, he commanded them that they should not depart from Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of the Father, which said he, you have heard of me. For John truly baptized with water; but you shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit... (Acts 1:4-5). The Apostle Paul admonishes us in Ephesians 5:17, saying, "Where-fore be not unwise, but understanding what the will of God is," he then informs us how this is to be accomplished, saying, "be filled with the Spirit" (5:18). In John 14:26, Jesus declares that when the Holy Spirit comes to the believer that "He will teach them in all things." Therefore, a Christian who has rejected the experience of the baptism in the Holy Spirit as valid for today, to pray for God to reveal His will for his life, or to ask for divine wisdom in order to make an important decision, finds that, all too often, such prayers are ineffective. Does such an individual really expect that God should make an exception for him and reveal His will for his life, giving him divine wisdom and guidance when he has rejected the Holy Spirit, Whom God has sent for this express purpose? In large measure, the cause for much of their confusion, frustration, and failure, as well as the cause for much unanswered prayer, results from their inability to discern the will of God. It is a great blessing to know heaven's will for our lives, to be given divine guidance day to day, and have the wisdom we need to make important decisions – which is largely impossible without the infilling of the Spirit. The Christian without this experience spends much of his time out of the will of God, wandering aimlessly about, fearful and anxious, often wondering if he has made the correct decision about this or that matter. His life hindered and frustrated because of doubt and worry, which resulted from his ignorance concerning the will of God. Therefore, God's will for every Christian is, first of all, that he in faith receives the promise of the Father, experiencing Pentecost just as the first disciples. He is to be filled with the Spirit, in order that he will "not (be) unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is" (Eph. 5:17-18). Being filled with the Spirit is equated with the baptism in the Spirit in the New Testament (e.g., Acts 1:4-5 with 2:4), which is to be received by asking for this experience in faith, (Luke 11:13). It will be accompanied by the sign of the baptism as one acts upon his faith and begins to speak in new tongues as the Spirit gives him utterance (Acts 2:4). Do you wish you knew the will of God for your life? Do you desire His guidance each day and want to put an end to your doubts, worries, and frustrations, which are due to your inability to discern His will concerning decisions you must make? Then ask for the baptism in the Holy Spirit, for God tells us that His Spirit has been sent to give you such understanding, concerning the will of the Lord (Eph. 5:17-18). After the believer has received the promise and experienced Pentecost, he is then called to - 2) Go Back to Calvary. If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross and follow me (Mt. 16:24). God's basic will for every Christian after being filled with the Holy Spirit is, in the second place, to yield completely to the Spirit, "Who has come to bring the believer into conformity to the death of Christ (Gal. 2:20). Few Christians realize that after having received the Baptism of the Holy Spirit they still have not fulfilled God's ultimate will for their lives, nor attained His higher purpose. The baptism in the Holy Spirit is but the doorway to a deeper experience with God. It is God's call to live the crucified life. God in this hour is calling Spirit-filled believers to walk on a higher spiritual level then they have ever known before. He is calling them to yield themselves fully to Him and allow the Spirit to: bring them into a place of the crucifixion and death of self (Gal. 2:20; Phil. 3:10), so that the resurrection power of Christ may be manifested in and through them. The manifestation of the resurrection life and power of Christ, as the Apostle indicates in Philippians 3:10, comes through our conformity to the sufferings and death of Christ. The crucified life is the deeper life in the Spirit, which is God's higher purpose for the Christian. It is the Spirit-filled believer's growth "unto a full-grown man, unto the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ" (Eph. 4:13). The way into the fullness of Christ is the way of the cross. It means to take up the cross and follow Jesus. It is, in a word, the death of the self-life, for Jesus said, "If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me." Failure to understand this is to fail to understand the purpose why God filled you with His Spirit and to frustrate God's will for your life. We are called to go to Calvary twice– the first time, in order to meet Jesus and partake of His life– the second time, in order to go with Jesus and partake of His sufferings and death (Mt. 16:24). The majority of those who are receiving the baptism in the Spirit today have little or no conception of this divine purpose and have not understood, or have misinterpreted, the nature of their calling. God's will for every Spirit-filled believer is for him to understand the purpose for which he has been filled with the Spirit, and to submit himself to it. This, as we have seen, is God's call to accept the crucified life to the end that we may experience the fullness of Christ (Eph. 3:19; 4:13), as preparatory for the restoration of all things now at the consummation of this age. Acceptance of the crucified life, by yielding ourselves to the Holy Spirit involves basically two things. To the extent we fail to understand them and submit ourselves to them, to that extent we frustrate God's end-time purpose for us. We will find ourselves moving outside the sphere of His will for our lives. (1) To accept the crucified life is to understand that the Biblical experience is not to "do" but to "die." It is not surprising that most Christians who have been spiritually dry and unfruitful for so many years prior to receiving the baptism in the Holy Spirit interpret their experience, especially in the light of Jesus words in Acts 1:8, as a call to do more for God, Now that they have been empowered by the Holy Spirit, they look upon their baptism as the means by which they may increase their religious activities, or become a more efficient worker in the church, or more effectively promote the Kingdom of God. It often comes as a surprise, therefore, to learn that God has not called them to be anything or do anything for Him, but that He has called them to be crucified with Christ by submitting themselves completely to the Spirit's direction and control. "But I thought that Jesus teaches in John 15 that He has chosen us to go forth and bear fruit," exclaims an astonished Christian. This is true; but even before He said this, in John 12:24: Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it dies, it brings forth much fruit. The crucified life is not trying to "do" more for God after receiving the baptism of the Spirit; it is not merely praying more, giving out more tracts, reading the Bible more, witnessing more, or increasing our religious works. It is not activity–, it is surrender–it is being crucified with Christ. It is not Christ and us, but Christ in us, that will make our lives effective and produce the fruit. There is no such thing as living the crucified life without the death of "self" as in this way Christ may then live His life in us and fulfill His will through us (Gal. 2:20). Otherwise, all we are doing is perpetuating what we already have a man-made partnership with God, in which "self" is still on the throne, and the Holy Spirit is considered little more than the means by which we may empower our programs and promote our religious institutions, organizations, and ideas. Christians have been led to believe that church programs are sanctified and all religious work made acceptable to God merely because these things are consecrated to Him and done in Jesus' name. One of the most difficult lessons Christians must learn is that such a conception has no scriptural basis whatsoever, and that God does not call us to devise plans as to the most effective means by which we can get the world converted to Christ, or promote the work of the Kingdom with His help. His call is always a call to submit to the Spirit without reservation; it is a call to be crucified with Christ to the end that He may then be able to fulfill His will through us. One writer, whose ministry in the deeper things of the Spirit is well-known, relates her transforming experience in this regard. After some years of dedicated service to the Lord, the Spirit revealed to her in a very graphic manner just how worthless and unacceptable religious works are which are not produced by the Spirit through a fully yielded vessel, but which result merely from one's desire to serve the Lord and be involved in religious work. One morning she awoke and beheld before her a hand holding up a handful of filthy rags, when a voice spoke, saying, "This is the outcome of all your past service for God." "But Lord," she protested, "I have been surrendered and consecrated to You all these years, it was consecrated works" "Yes, My child," the Lord replied, "but all your service has been consecrated for yourself; the outcome of your own energy; your own plans for winning souls; your own devotion.. All for Me, but yourself all the same!" Then came the deeper revelation by the Spirit that God does not call us to do something for Him by our own efforts, but that we are called to submit to Him, so that He can then do something in us in order that He might then do something through us. We are called to pick up the cross and follow Jesus to Calvary and there be crucified with Him. From that hour she relates that she understood that it is in dying, not doing, that spiritual fruit is produced, for "except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it dies, it brings forth much fruit." The deep work of the Spirit in us, as we submit ourselves fully to Him, may be compared to a tree in the wintertime. In winter the tree stands barren and still. All evidence of life and beauty are gone. The tree's ability to provide shade is gone. There is no fruit to be seen. Death seems to have conquered it. But if we could see beneath the ground we would find that life still exists. Down beneath the surface it is doing a deep work–new roots are being formed, while old ones are growing stronger and pushing deeper into the earth, becoming more firmly rooted to enable the tree to withstand the trials and storms ahead. It is in the tree's apparent death–when it grows still and ceases all outward activity–that the deep work of God is taking place beneath the surface. And so it is in the deeper work of the Spirit in us; it is only as we submit ourselves in total surrender in Him and become still, ceasing from all religious commotion and fleshly activity, that He can perform His deeper work in our lives. It is only in this confinement on the cross that we can really learn to be still before God (Ps. 46:10), often stripped of our "leaves" and "fruit," with nothing really monumental happening in which we can boast, just hanging there–learning that bearing fruit is not in "doing," but in "dying"--patiently waiting upon the Lord to complete His work in us so that He can then do a work through us. (2) To accept the crucified life in the second place is to understand that the deeper experience is not God's call to work for Him, but to learn to move with Him. This means we must learn to move only at the Spirit's command and under His direction, as we see, for example, in the lives and ministry of the apostles and other saints (Acts 10:1f.; 13:1f.; 16:6-10, 14-15). God is preparing believers who will be so sensitive to the voice of His Spirit that they will immediately respond to His leading and obey without question or doubt. This is to be a spiritual army of specialists, thoroughly trained in spiritual warfare, completely emptied of self, joyfully submitted to the yoke of Jesus, fully equipped with the divine armour (Eph. 6), speaking with such authority that the very foundations of Hell will tremble at their voice, and able to pull down every stronghold of Satan by their faith alone. Soldiers in the United States Army are not called to work for the army, but to learn to work and move with it. No soldier takes it upon himself to devise his own plans for winning the war all by himself, or for campaigning on his own in behalf of his country. He doesn't say, "I'll take myself one of these big tanks with a big gun and go out and shoot a lot of holes in the enemy forces and win a lot of victories for the army to prove my devotion to my country." No. He doesn't move until the commander tells him to move, and even before he can do that he must undergo an extensive period of discipline and training in which he learns to deny himself, submit to authority, and become sensitive to the desires and commands of his superiors. Often when a man gets a degree from the seminary, he then feels this equips him to go out and build the Kingdom all by himself. "Now that I am thoroughly trained," he says, "I think I will start a church over here, or a mission over there, as I know God desires to see churches built and souls saved." But he is surprised when it does not always work out just that way. Disillusioned, he laments, "I just don't understand it. I know God wants to see His work prosper, but I've done all I know to do, and yet I've not been able to arouse much interest." A pastor who has knocked on all the doors in his community without much success, and now feels, since he has received the Spirit filled experience, that this was the missing element in his visitation program, and he is bewildered to find there is still as little response as before to his invitations to church, as he walks about the community still knocking on doors. In another church, the Spirit-filled pastor is disappointed to discover that he cannot use his experience to "pump" life into the old denominational program, having surmised that the only reason it did not prosper before was his lack of the Holy Spirit. He, just as the others mentioned, has failed to see that all he would be doing, if he were to succeed in his efforts, would be to perpetuate the old denominational practices and forms of religion of one kind or another, and that the Holy Spirit will not empower him to be a witness against Himself by promoting the programs and teachings at men. Failure is just as assured in the life of a Spirit-filled Christian as one without the experience, unless he learns that God is not pouring out His Spirit to empower him to get busy in some form of religious activity. He is not calling men and women today to work for Him, but to learn to move with Him. When we learn to move with the Spirit, then God will send this one and that one to us, or send us to one who is in need. We will find, moreover, that the Spirit has already been there ahead of us and prepared their hearts to receive our message or ministry. Edited. Shared.

# DAILY LIGHT THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THE THREE BIRDS SENT OUT OF THE ARK BY NOAH ​Grace, apostolic authority, and the uncompromising fire of the Holy Ghost be multiplied to your spirit. As disciples of the Kingdom, we must recognize that the Holy Scriptures are not merely historical records; they are profound prophetic blueprints. Every detail, every animal, and every sequence is a calculated revelation of God’s dealings with the human soul. ​Today, the Spirit of God is unlocking the mystery of Genesis 8. As the floodwaters of judgment receded, Noah did not simply open the door and walk out. He tested the spiritual climate of the earth by releasing birds. This sequence—the raven, and the successive flights of the dove—is a surgical exposure of the battle between the flesh and the Spirit in your life. Prepare your heart, for this is an apostolic summons to absolute consecration. ​The First Release: The Raven and the Appetite of the Flesh ​"And he sent forth a raven, which went forth to and fro, until the waters were dried up from off the earth." — Genesis 8:7 ​Noah first released a raven. The scripture records that the raven flew "to and fro" and never returned to the safety of the ark. Why? Because the raven is a scavenger. It is an unclean bird that feeds on carrion—dead and decaying flesh. Even though the earth was completely destroyed and covered in the judgment of the flood, the raven was perfectly comfortable landing on the floating carcasses of the old world. ​The Prophetic Diagnosis: The raven represents your carnal nature—the unredeemed flesh. The flesh is perfectly at home in chaos. It feeds on the decaying matters of this world: gossip, bitterness, lust, and rebellion. When a believer is operating in the flesh, they do not crave the presence of God (the Ark); they are satisfied surviving on the dead things of their past. The raven requires no holiness to find rest. If your soul is not completely surrendered to Christ, the "raven" within you will always find a carcass to feed on. ​The Second Release: The Dove and the Standard of Holiness ​"Also he sent forth a dove from him, to see if the waters were abated... But the dove found no rest for the sole of her foot, and she returned unto him into the ark, for the waters were on the face of the whole earth..." — Genesis 8:8-9 ​Next, Noah released a dove. Unlike the raven, the dove is a clean bird. It cannot feed on dead meat, and it will not land on filth. Finding the earth still covered in the waters of judgment and death, the dove found no resting place and immediately returned to the Ark. ​The Prophetic Diagnosis: The dove is the ultimate biblical symbol of the Holy Spirit (Matthew 3:16). Here is the terrifying truth of Christ Discipleship: The Holy Spirit will not tabernacle in a contaminated vessel. He refuses to share a resting place with your unjudged flesh. Many believers are begging for an outpouring of the Holy Ghost, but their lives are flooded with compromise, secret sin, and carnal entertainment. The Spirit of God will visit you, scan the landscape of your heart, and if He finds no pure, consecrated ground, He will withdraw. You cannot host the Dove while feeding the raven. ​The Third Release: The Olive Branch and Permanent Habitation ​"And the dove came in to him in the evening; and, lo, in her mouth was an olive leaf pluckt off... And he stayed yet other seven days; and sent forth the dove; which returned not again unto him any more." — Genesis 8:11-12 ​Noah waited seven days and sent the dove again. This time, she returned with a freshly plucked olive leaf. The olive leaf is the biblical symbol of the anointing (oil), peace, and the undeniable proof of new life springing forth from the earth. Finally, on her last flight, the dove did not return. The earth was clean, and she had found her permanent habitation. ​The Prophetic Diagnosis: God does not just want to give you a temporary visitation; He is after a permanent habitation. When the floodwaters of repentance genuinely wash your soul, the old nature is buried. The Holy Spirit will bring the "olive branch" of His anointing and peace to confirm that new life has begun in you. But the ultimate goal of discipleship is that final release—where your mind, will, and emotions are so thoroughly cleansed and surrendered to the Lordship of Jesus that the Holy Spirit makes His permanent, uninterrupted dwelling inside of you. ​The Altar of Absolute Surrender ​The apostolic question you must answer today is this: Which bird is finding rest in your life? Are you accommodating the raven of the flesh, allowing it to feast on the dead things of the world? Or are you preparing a holy, consecrated resting place for the Dove of Heaven? It is time to starve the flesh and surrender entirely to the Spirit. ​Prophetic Decree and Prayer of Consecration ​"Father, in the supreme, consuming Name of Jesus Christ, I bring my soul to the altar of absolute surrender today. I repent for every area of my life where I have allowed the raven of my flesh to feed on the dead, carnal things of this world. I renounce compromise, hidden sin, and spiritual laziness. Lord, let the floodwaters of Your Holy Ghost wash my vessel clean! I desperately want to be a resting place for the Divine Dove. I surrender my mind, my will, and my habits to Your Lordship. Bring the olive branch of Your anointing into my life, and completely take over my existence until my flesh is dead and only Christ remains. Make me Your permanent habitation! In Jesus' matchless Name!" # THE SON OF LIGHT

SATAN'S STRATEGIES AGAINST CHRISTIANS UNVEILED IN THE SECOND HEAVEN by Moses Lushiku 6 Let me give a brief statement about my call and vocation from the Lord. It happened one day as I was laying down on the courtyard of my house when suddenly a force took over me. As a result, my spirit went out of my body and I was taken to the sky. When I got there in the atmosphere I saw the Lord Jesus Christ. Beloved, when you meet the Lord Jesus Christ you will know that you are standing before God Himself. It is automatic when the Lord Jesus Christ set His eyes on you. His anointing will be transferred to you and your understanding will be renewed and enlightened instantaneously and you will be connected to the supernatural. The Lord said to me, "Look at the earth." When I looked at planet Earth the Lord said, "When you divide the earth into three portions that are the proportion of humanity that will be saved through your message and your ministry." The Lord said, "You are an end time servant. I will use your ministry and others to bring about the rapture of the church. Your ministry will be prophetic in order to prepare My people for the rapture." A few weeks later I was convinced by the Spirit of the Lord to spend some time in the church for prayer. As a result, I began to spend most of my time in the church in prayer. In fact, I left my house in order to sleep in the church for prayer. I spent eight consecutive months in the presence of the Lord. This was not a result of an audible voice recommendation but a simple conviction of the Holy Spirit. I was sleeping in the church. Later I was joined by members of my church. They were touched by the fact that I have left behind my house in order to pray and sleep in the church for many months. Then one day in the morning after prayer something happened. I was talking to a member of my church when suddenly I saw three beings of extreme beauty dressed in white garments of luminous glow. These tall and robust angels were not touching the ground. These were supernatural entities. The first angel introduced himself to me and said, "I'm the Archangel Michael. I work in the field of spiritual warfare. It is written that the angel of the Lord encamps around them that fear Him (Ps 34:7). I am the one who encamped around the children of God. I will reveal to you the secrets about the kingdom of Lucifer in spiritual warfare. I will tell you the secrets about the devil because I know him. I was the leader of the regiment that cast him out of heaven." Rev 12:7-9 And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon, and the dragon fought and his angels, And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven. And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him. The second angel introduced himself to me as Gabriel. He said to me, "I am the one who appeared to your sister Mary in order to announce her the good news about the birth of the Savior. The Bible says, "God sent the angel Gabriel to Nazareth a city in Galilee. The angel went to a virgin promised in marriage to a descendant of David named Joseph. The Virgin's name was Mary. When the angel entered her home he greeted her and said, 'You are favored by the Lord. The Lord is with you.' She was startled by what the angel said and tried to figure out what this greeting meant. The angel told her, "Don't be afraid Mary you have found favor with God. You will become pregnant and give birth to a son and name Him Jesus. He will be a great man and will be called the Son of the Most High. The Lord God will give Him the throne of His ancestor David. Your Son will be king of Jacob's people forever and His kingdom will never end." (Luke 1:26-33) Beloved, when I heard the Archangel Gabriel calling Mary the mother of the Lord Jesus Christ "My sister" I felt a special feeling, a feeling of pride and prestige. Then Gabriel said to me, "I am the one who gives believers messages in dreams and visions. When they are in deep sleep I will reveal a lot of things to them." Actually, the Archangel Gabriel revealed to me 100 secrets contained in Jesus' parables. Then the Archangel Gabriel said, "We come to your churches and to your houses and we walk by your side yet you people are so busy with everyday preoccupation which has reduced your spiritual sensibility. Therefore you cannot sense our presence around you and you cannot see us although we are everyday around you. But the fact that many of the children of God are seeing us these days it is an indication that the event of the return of the Son of God is at hand. I will reveal to you secrets about life beyond the grave and the end of time." The third angel seems different from Michael and Gabriel. He introduced himself as Marvelous. He said, "I am the angel that appeared to the mother of Samson. The Bible says, "A man of Zorah named Manoah from the clan of the Danites had a wife who was childless unable to give birth. The angel of the Lord appeared to her and said, 'You are barren and childless but you are going to become pregnant and give birth to a son. Now see to it that you drink no wine or other fermented drink and that you do not eat anything unclean. You will become pregnant and have a son whose head is never to be touched by a razor because the boy is to be a Nazarite dedicated to God from the womb. He will take the lead in delivering Israel from the hands of the Philistines." (Judges 13:2-5) The angel Marvelous said, "I work in the field of salvation." And at the end times, this angel with the name of Marvelous was the Lord Jesus Christ Himself. After this first encounter, the next four days were days of angelic visitation as the whole church was able to hear the voice of the angels of the Lord. On the fifth day of angelic visitations, something happened. It was on the 10th of February 2007 at 5:00 p.m. The Archangel Michael who promised to reveal to me secrets about the devil and spiritual warfare came and he held my right hand. Immediately my spirit left my body. Michael held my right hand. We took a speedy flight. We began to ascend in the speed of light and we found ourselves in the atmosphere and over there in space the Archangel asked me, "Do you know where we are going?" I was about to respond when he said, "Lucifer has summoned a meeting in the 2nd heaven which will start in a few minutes. The kingdom of heaven has chosen you as their representative to take part in that meeting and reveal the contents of this gathering to the world." A few minutes later we arrived in the second heaven. Then we entered the auditorium which was a huge oval hall. This place was between heaven and the earth. The chief angel Michael said to me, "Fear not and don't panic. You just stand by my side. You must observe and listen to everything. You have been commissioned to tell the world everything you will see and hear." Actually, as I was attending this gathering in the 2nd heaven the Lord Jesus Christ had entered my body that was left on the earth and He took complete control of my senses. He was addressing the people of God in the church while my spirit was attending this summit in the atmosphere. Back in the auditorium in the second heaven, I noticed that the hall was full to capacity. Demons of all kinds and people from all nations were waiting for the prince of this world, the devil. Once we got in the meeting hall the chief angel Michael said to me, "Very soon you will see our enemy which is your enemy." We were hovering over this auditorium when suddenly I heard a thunderous explosion. This detonation was the arrival of Lucifer. The devil did not arrive like everybody else but in a thunderous explosion. SATAN WITH DOG HEAD I saw Satan for the first time on the 10 of February 2007. Immediately after landing in the oval auditorium the devil transformed himself. I mean his head turned to that of a dog. Then he said to the participants, "Do not be surprised by my emblem of a dog head. I took the appearance of the dog because I want to demonstrate to you that I am God. The reason that I summoned you today is that I heard the other One claiming that He is God and that He wants to save humanity." The devil and demons of Hell don't quote the name of Jesus Christ for fear of adverse effects. The devil refers to Jesus Christ as "The Other One." Then with a hand sign, the devil removed the sealing of the oval Hall and he caused the assistants to rise beyond the ceiling of the auditorium. I saw the assistants suspended in space and observing planet Earth. I have to admit that I managed to recognize some faces of the assistants. Then I saw the devil pointing a particular section of the earth. He actually zoomed to a section of the earth. As a result, we saw people getting on with their lives in that section of the earth but strangely all the people on that section of the earth had dog heads just like Lucifer himself. Afterward, the devil zoomed to another geographic section of the earth and we saw the human population of that part of the earth with dog heads. Then the devil zoomed to still another section of planet Earth and we saw people in different churches. We saw pastors, we saw evangelists, church singers, deacons in the church with dog heads. Churches were full of believers, preachers, and singers with dog heads. Afterward, the devil got the assistants back in the auditorium. Then he said to the participants, "You saw with your own eyes 80% of the world population with dog heads which is my emblem. You saw with your own eyes many believers preachers singers with my emblem of a dog head. They have my image and my likeness. They look like me yet the other One who claimed to be God the savior of humanity has only 20% of the world population. The question every one of you is to ask and to answer is this, 'Who is God - Him or me?' He has only 20% of the world population. Who is powerful - Him or me? It is written in their law that the dog has returned to what he has vomited. When the devil said this I remember the passage in 2 Peter 2:21-22, For it had been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after they have known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered unto them. But it is happened unto them according to the true proverb, The dog has turned to his own vomit again; and the sow that was washed to her wallowing in the mire. Then I saw the devil still with his dog head. He vomited on his pulpit and then he consumed his vomit. Then he said to the assistants, "It is thanks to my power that 80% of the world population are sinners and the majority of the believers have backslidden. Any Christian that has backslidden has adopted my emblem of the dog head. He has my image." At that moment I saw the assistants that were made up of demons and humans falling down on their knees worshipping the devil and declaring him God. The Bible says in 2 Corinthians 4:4, In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them. The assistants were worshipping the devil and saying, "You are God because 80 percent of the world population resembled you. They have your image and your emblem. You are more powerful than the other One who has only twenty percent of the world population." Dear believers every time we are living in sin we are adopting the emblem of the devil which is a dog head. The Bible says whosoever practices sin is of the devil. He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose, the Son of God was manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil. (1 Jn 3:8) I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last. Blessed are they that do His commandments (“Blessed are they that wash their robes.” - other translations), that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city. For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie. (Rev 22:13-15) As the worship of Lucifer was going on, the Archangel Michael and I stood in a diagonal position to the pulpit of the devil and then the devil started the meeting which was to last four months. In the firmament, he began to unveil his 80 strategies against humanity in the church. His words were automatically printed on a book called "Techniques and Tactics." That book is also called a "Traps Trigger" which means how to set a trap for the foolish man and the imprudent. The gathering in the firmament lasted four months. Basically every time the devil was unveiling a strategy he was adjourning the meeting in order to deploy demons to execute the new strategy in various regions of the earth and sometimes demons were traveling in a dimension beyond our physical world. In the meantime, the meeting would be suspended and the participants would be waiting for their return and their report. These demons were traveling to many parts of the earth that were in night or day times. They were traveling long distances in a split second or very few minutes and they were traveling to several countries, continents, and cities. They were also traveling to the marine kingdom, the subterranean kingdom and even to the firmament. And every time these demons were traveling to the cosmos I had to follow them in order to see what is happening and how they were executing their missions. I was ordered continuously by the Archangel Michael to follow them. As a result, I have been to many invisible kingdoms of Lucifer and I have accumulated knowledge of the tactics and strategies of the enemy. In this message, I will bring you words of Lucifer exactly as he said them so that everybody would understand the kingdom of darkness. As it is written, "You will know the truth and the truth will set you free." (John 8:32) Then the devil started to address the assistants with arrogance. He said to the participants, "I have gathered you today because we have an opponent. I heard Him saying that He wants to save humanity. That is why I have gathered you today so that we can prevent that from happening. Today I will deliver a few strategies in order to cause His followers to become weak and vulnerable so that our kingdom will grow on the earth." THE LAW OF REPETITION AND RESISTANCE Then Lucifer started to enumerate and elaborate on his strategies which were a total of 80 points. The devil disclosed the first strategy that he called vaccine or the law of repetition and resistance. He said, "Through this strategy, we will impose law in the lives of born-again Christians. Basically, the followers of Jesus Christ have a luminous ring of fire above their head and this orbit of fire above their head is potentially destructive. It can neutralize us, therefore, I want to underline that you should not come close to Christians as long as their ring of fire is shining and burning. We must initially put out the fire of that ring of light before engaging them for fear of defeat." "Let it be clear if you come to report to me after being wrecked because of the ring of fire I will be left with no choice but to destroy you. Do not come close to Christians as long as their fire is burning and glowing. You must observe and monitor them before taking any action against them. On the other hand, it will be apparent that when these people commit sin, the fiery ring of light will go off. Their light would be put out as a result of sin. It is only that way that they will become vulnerable. In fact, your mission is to get born-again Christians to commit sin in order to turn off the ring of fire and light above their heads." Dear believers, there is a ring of fire above the head of each born-again Christian which is self generating electric energy of God. The Bible says you are the light of the world (Matt 5:14). A Christian is full of divine and electric energy and the electricity charges from God are running all over his system. That is why a demon would not come close to a Christian. Then the devil said to the assistants, "You must use the method of surveillance and monitoring. I order you to watch them and their families in order to mount a surveillance system around born again Christians. Do not do anything against them before mounting a system of surveillance and monitoring and when they sin you will notice that their light and fire emanating from the luminous ring and orbit of fire will go off. The moment a born-again Christian commits sin, you will report to me because this is the best time to attack them. On this basis, you have to understand that sin is our gospel and sin will be our gospel. Sin is the mechanism by which the luminous flame of the believer goes off." And I saw the devil instructed his demon to report to him every time a Christian sinned because that is of a critical moment to strike him. I come today to beseech you Christians to keep your flame luminous. Every born-again Christian has the responsibility of keeping his luminous ring of fire turned on. The Bible says that John was a burning and shining lamp and you were willing to rejoice for a while in his light (John 5:35). The Satanic world is desperate to get Christian fire and light to go off. They can do nothing against believers as long as the ring of fire is burning and shining. It is sin that turns off the light of the believer inducing in him a time of vulnerability and fragility. After explaining this strategy, I saw the devil summoning eight demons to step forward and he gave them syringes. The devil said to them, "Every time a born-again Christian is caught in the act of sinning you will inject this vaccine called the law of resistance and repetition in him. When a Christian is caught in sin, you will surround him and you will pray. You will summon me in the following prayer, "O supreme master Lucifer this is your victim who has listened to your voice and he has obeyed your order and instruction. Come and enter his body which is your temple." When you say this prayer I will come in a speed of lightning and I will enter the body of this believer and I will vaccinate him with the law of resistance and repetition. As a consequence, he will fall repeatedly in that sin despite his fasting despite his decision to abandon his sin. The victim will always fall in that sin because he is vaccinated with the law of repetition. Even if the believer confessed his sin but as he is injected with the law of repetition he will become a slave of that sin. He will repeat that sin again and again despite his remorse despite his will his fasting and his determination. Whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin. (John 8:34) Then the devil said to eight demons standing before him, "After you vaccinated the victim seven of you will leave him but you will stay and be stationed around the victim. You will monitor and surveil this Christian in case this believer feel the guilt and he is manifesting the will to repent and abandon his repetitive sin. I order the demon stationed around him for monitoring him to call the other seven demons. Once they joined you the head, you will call me again in this following prayer, "O supreme master, this is your victim who wants to rebel from you and escape your bondage." At that moment I will come down at the speed of lightning. I will enter his body in order to shake the vaccine in him. As a result, the victim will weaken and will have the tendency to return to that sin despite his will to escape." Then I saw on a pulpit of the devil a mirror. The devil did an incantation prayer. As a result, this mirror was multiplied. It was distributed to the assistants. The devil said, "Before attacking a Christian you must make sure that he is visible in the mirror." Beloved when a demon is coming to fight you, he is coming with information and precision. He is well informed about your condition. The devil said to the assistants, "That Fellow (Jesus) has branded me the prince of this world. If only one of them affectionate himself with the things of this world his profile will be visible in the mirror. Some of their attitudes are my nature like anger, animosity, envy, and hate. Those who are in these things belong to our kingdom automatically. But remember to check in the mirror before doing anything against them. If they appear in the mirror it means that they are in a state of weakness and their weakness and sin are my nature." ATTACK THE AREAS OF THEIR NEEDS The next strategy is called: NEED. Lucifer said, "We must watch and analyse the emotions and the feelings of Christians by observing their 3 needs: Marriage, Finance, and Ambition." He continued, "If you have been fighting one of them, and failing because of their holiness, and righteousness, just give up but focus on their marriage. Wait until when they will think about getting married. You will work to inject suggestion in their head to get them to make a false choice. It is from here that upright people will fall when they make a wrong choice, and we get them to marry our representative, by investigating their criteria, and preference." Lucifer said, "As we have many enterprises and corporations on earth, you will be arranged so that they end up working in our companies and businesses, and they will be surrounded by our agents. They will be paid salary with our bewitched money and they will sign contract with us without knowing. I asked my demons to give them initiative so that they can expand their business, as a result, they will always be focused on the material world." The devil always fights the marriage because this is a covenant that makes people one in marriage. There is a law called the law of fusion which make 2 people 1. And the devil likes it so that he can unite wheat and tares together to create fusion and confusion. CONDEMNATION DUE TO WORDS COMING OUT OF OUR MOUTHS My dear believers, I am here to bring words from the enemy exactly as I heard it in his meeting in the firmament. I heard the devil unveiling one strategy after another. Then he unveiled a strategy against the church called condemnation. He said, "My agent demons followers and demons observers, you have a very important role to play. Your purpose is to observe and listen to what comes out of the mouths of believers. You're gonna have to be patient. You must follow them and listen carefully to words coming out of their mouths. Actually, these humans claimed to have been created in the image and the likeness of God but this is what we will do to them. We have five strategies in order to condemn them on the basis of what comes from their mouth." The first strategy is during the TIME OF ANGER. The devil said to demons observers and followers, "In the time of anger humans don't control their words and they don't control their decisions nor their actions. Therefore, this is a critical time in order to capture their words and condemn them." Beloved, you must understand that when you are angry there are demons assigned by the devil to observe you and to capture words from your mouth and decision you make. Therefore when you are angry you must learn to hold your tongue. You must not sleep with anger and you must forgive. The Bible says death and life are in the power of the tongue and those who love it will eat its fruit. (Proverbs 18:21) The devil will use your words to condemn you. The second critical moment is the TIME OF CHOICE as the devil said to his demons, "Condemn people pronouncing a word of love. When you hear a human saying to his partner, "You are my angel," his guardian angel must leave on the basis of his own word. As a result, his partner will take the angel place. He is condemned by his own word. When someone says I will only marry this or that type of man this is verbal government binding him. He is inviting the spirit of singleness." Beloved, people are binding themselves in covenants through words spoken from their mouth. It is necessary to cancel negative words. There are words you say that will destroy your life as they are captured and brought to pass by demons. The third tactic is in TIMES OF HUMAN SUFFERING. The devil said to his demons observers and followers, "In a time of suffering and hardship I always hear humans saying, 'Oh I am miserable. I am unlucky in my life. Everything I do is not working.'" The devil orders these demons to bring to pass those words and sentences spoken by humans during their hard times as many cursed and condemned themselves through their own mouths. CAUSING BELIEVERS TO BE LAZY AND HEAVY Then the devil unveiled an additional strategy that will cause believers to be heavy so that they won't be able to pray or read the Bible or attend the church. As a result, they will become an ordinary human being. The devil insisted to the participants by saying, "Do not let them pray. Do not let them read the scripture. Do not let them go to church. Do not let them tithe." Then I saw the devil summoning a demon that looked like Superman. This demon was dressed in red and blue just like Superman but the devil called him superhuman. He said to him, "I have chosen you to visit Christians at home in the days of their church service. You must be informed about their church program five hours before it starts. You're gonna blow on them the bluish smoke. As a result, they will become heavy and they will feel like not going to church. They will feel uncomfortable." The devil said to him, "Blow your bluish smoke even on their cars. As a result, the unexplained breakdown will happen. They will seek justification not to attend church and they will have them." Lucifer said to the superhuman, "You shall move from one Christian house to another and you shall blow your bluish smoke. As a result, there shall be procrastination. As a consequence, they shall be incapable of praying even if they set the clock. The same thing with Bible reading. They will have the feeling of doing something relaxing instead of going to church." PERSON NAMES AS A TOOL TO DESTROY THEM Then the devil unveiled another strategy called name. The devil said, "We will use people's names as a tool of manipulation in order to destroy them." It is clear that the devil is always seeking ways to destroy humanity and he said to the demons, "You will make sure that their lives have become their names." Beloved, in the Bible, when God called people He changed their names. If you do not have a positive name you better change it now. The Bible says in Gen 32:28, Thy name shall be called no more Jacob, but Israel: for as a prince hast thou power with God and with men, and hast prevailed. I heard the devil saying the spirit of homonym (words with the same sound but have different meanings) will follow the hominin (all humankind). Examples of homonym are Bat - an implement used to hit a ball / a nocturnal flying mammal Bright - very smart or intelligent / filled with light Circular - taking the form of a circle / a store advertisement The second issue about a name is that when you name yourself or your child after a family member or a friend the nature of that person can be transferred to you or your child through the channel of the name and there are these demons, followers, and observers. Their job is that every time your name is called they have to transform you into your name. Every time your name is called they will get meaning of that name to come to pass and fulfill in your life so that you become your name. BEWITCHMENT THRU BEAUTY AND HYGIENE PRODUCTS The devil announced another strategy called beauty and hygiene products. I saw the devil order 30 demons to travel back under the ocean and while these 30 demons were leaving the oval auditorium heading underwater, the Archangel Michael order me to follow them. This was our secondary journey beneath the ocean and this time around the devil sent these demons to meet underwater sirens so that they can design beauty and makeup products. When we were leaving the oval hall the devil interrupted the meeting in order to wait for the contingent of 30 demons to bring back beauty products. When we arrived underwater it's like the water siren and goddess Lamaze who knew already what Lucifer wanted. She could also read the mind of these demons. In fact, every time the devil think about something he can transfer his thought quickly to his collaborators. The devil possesses a network that allows him to inject thought to his followers. When Jesus said to Peter, "Get thee behind me, Satan," He was dealing with a thought from the devil that he transferred to Peter's mind. That's how the devil work. I saw demons of all kinds under the ocean. I saw sirens under the ocean who were very beautiful women. They were extremely beautiful as though they were changing faces. I remember their names such as Alice and Jacqueline Sol Ange Lily Liliane Juliet. Then I saw their great lady, the Queen of the Coast manipulating the sand beneath the water and turning them to beauty products. I saw powder, lipstick, lotions, soap and many more. There were tons of these beauty products. I saw a siren in the name of Juliet printing her face and her name on the wrapping and embossed on the soap. This soap called Juliet is still used in our region and our country. When you use that soap the power of seduction of Juliet will be at work on your appearance which is artificial beauty. Therefore you must pray for these beauty products as the Bible says to pray ceaselessly even in little things. And then the devil said, "We will dressed women with a mask of ugliness and old age in order to undermine their marriage and cause their husbands to be tired of them." The 30 demons transported these beauty products from the underwater to the oval meeting hall in the second heaven. As the hall was oval they placed them in the middle of the hall. There were lipsticks, soaps, lotions, deodorants, fragrance, and others. Then the devil resumed the meeting and I watched as the devil began to curse these beauty products. The devil said, "We will spread demonic smells on women or men that are using our deodorants and fragrances. The moment their sweat mixed with our deodorants they will smell like some of our demons." Actually, demons have their smells and I know these smells. Some demons smell a mixture of deodorants and sweat. Other smells like acid. Then Lucifer said, "Women using our products will have artificial beauty. They will have the beauty of my servants the sirens and mermaid printed on their face. It is this way that we will spread fornication on the earth. When women use these beauty products they will become irresistible." The devil said, "Every time a human will envy these women because of the beauty of my servants the sirens and mermaids they will be admiring and worshipping images of the things under the sea which are sirens and mermaids." As far as the devil is concerned, the pictures of sirens and mermaids on makeup products are equal to building an image of things from under the sea. These beautiful faces of sirens and mermaids that are printed on the makeup and beauty products are a representation of sirens and mermaids as it is written you shall not make for yourself an idol or any likeness of what is in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the water under the earth. (Ex 20:4) Now the question is, "Should women use beauty products?" Yes, women can but they should also have discernment and pray. We should learn to pray for everything. I mean everything we buy in the market we need a life of ceaseless prayer (1 Thess 5:17). When I was in the marine Kingdom I saw sirens designing beauty products and they were printing their faces on these different lotions and beauty products. I heard Lucifer saying repeatedly, "Let fight. Let not slow down. Let continue to work in order to separate believers from their Master." FORGETFULNESS TO DAILY SACRED DUTIES Then the devil unveiled a new strategy called forgetfulness. He said to the participants, "We must work to get believers to forget their daily sacred duty and obligation. As a result, they will be in discord with their Master. Their Master is supposed to be the central and a cornerstone of their lives but we must work so that their Lord will no longer be the central focus of their existence. Firstly let get them to forget praying, as a result, they will lack spiritual strength." Beloved when I heard this from the mouth of Lucifer, I understood that prayer gives believers spiritual strength and even the Bible says to pray ceaselessly (1 Thess 5:17). Then Lucifer said, "We must give them to forget about going to church by confusing church schedules. As a result, they will be without anointing." By these words, I understood that attending the church gives believers more anointing as it is written in the psalm of David, "Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity! It is like the precious ointment upon the head, that ran down upon the beard, even Aaron's beard: that went down to the skirts of his garments. As the dew of Hermon, and as the dew that descended upon the mountains of Zion: for there the Lord commanded the blessing, even life for evermore." (Psalms 133:1-3) The devil continued and he said, "Let them forget reading the Bible." Then the devil drew the attention of the participants by saying, "Be careful of that book. It is magical and powerful. They must not read it otherwise they will have the knowledge and they will uncover our actions." The devil continued and said, "Let them forget paying tithes so that we can ransack and plunder their houses and finances. We will send them hardships and sicknesses and cause them to spend beyond their means." These words made me understand the importance of tithing. Tithe protects our business and our finances and the scriptures says in Malachi 3:10-11, Bring you all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in my house, and prove me now herewith, said the LORD of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it. And I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes, and he shall not destroy the fruits of your ground; neither shall your vine cast her fruit before the time in the field, said the LORD of hosts. Then the devil said again, "Let them forget their law so that they can sin. It is only after they sin that we can remind them of their law so that they can be in guilt." He continued to let them forget to take care of the leaders financially. HEREDITARY Then the devil announced another strategy that he called hereditary. Then Lucifer said, "For God loved the world so much that He gave His one and only Son so that everyone who believes in Him will not perish but have eternal life (John 3:16). This is humanity's favorite passage that I am reversing. For Satan so hate the world that he gave his own son Beelzebub so that whoever fell in his trap shall not be saved but perish forever." Then the devil exclaims and said, "I love Beelzebub because of his mission. He is gonna assist me to bring forth a great posterity. My great family is in the making. Behold I have so many people resembling me." Beloved, the Bible said that Jesus branded the high priests as the children of the devil because of their behavior. Jesus said, "Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar and the father of it." (John 8:44) The devil said, "I am branded as the father of lies, therefore, I need more children who are liars and who resemble me. That is why I order you Beelzebub to trap anybody practicing lies and incorporate them into my family. When any man would be deliberately lying in that very moment you get a hold of him to bring him inside my family. Indeed I am called the father of lies and liars are my children. Whatever their confession and profession whether they are pastors evangelists priests deacons, bring them to me for they are my children." Then the devil said to Beelzebub, "Incite people to pride because I am the father of pride. As a result, I will have many children. You're going to incite men to sin because it is written that I sinned right from the beginning and the more they are sinning the more children I have." "Beelzebub, I have always been treated as the opponent and the adversary so you gonna make sure that the whole world is in sin so that they would be opponents and adversaries of God and the more they are sinning the more children I have." "Beelzebub, they must despise the church and prayer. They must despise men of God. They must despise the holy things. They must oppose Bible traditions and values. They must denigrate Christianity." The devil said, "You Beelzebub my prime minister I charged you to combat the Word preached in churches all over the world." Actually, Lucifer has a global government and Beelzebub is the prime minister of his global government. The devil said to Beelzebub, "Let the Word preached in churches all over the world be without Revelation. Let their preaching be without edification. Let these preachers lose their fire and anointing. Let them be limited. Let them be focused on miracles. Let them be focused on prosperity. Let them be focused on the spectacular things." Beloved the devil wants the church to focus on earthly things and temporary things. Then Lucifer said, "It is written in their Scripture and their law that your Word is lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path and the moment the revelational Word which is the light is replaced by accessories and the materials items then there will be no more be light left in these churches but there will be darkness and as consequence the church will be my synagogue. If they continued and said the word of their Master and Lord has branded me as the Prince of Darkness it will be like a curse in these churches as I will be the Prince of these churches that are in darkness as a result of the corrupt word preached there." The devil said to Beelzebub, "You must stifle their leaders and preachers financially so that they lack the basic necessities. As a consequence, they will be overloaded with problems and setbacks. They will focus their attention on how to get by instead of spending their time on the Word and prayer. Beloved churches must organize in order to support the ministry so that the pastor can deal with the Word in order to spare him from working and taking care of himself. Then the devil said, "Let's target the pastors' wives so that there will not be harmony in their homes. As a result, the pastor will be demoralized with stress and sickness." The devil said. "Let's work so that we will send women to these pastors to get them to fornicate. As a result, they will become ordinary humans and carnal and it will be a defeat for the church." Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body, but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body. (1 Cor 6:18) OCCULTISM The devil unveiled a strategy called occultism. He said, "The purpose of this strategy is information gathering about believers. We will operate through two sectors. Firstly we will use animals as an instrument then we will use art objects. Concerning animals we are gonna use domestic animals closer to humans like dogs and cats. We will use dogs and cats as a camera in order to get information about these believers. These animals will be initiated into spiritism and they will be our instruments." We must underline that animals do not have a spirit but their bodies can be used as instruments or vehicles by the human spirits and demonic spirits. Lucifer said, "We are going to use sculpture and statues as instruments." Actually many statues and sculptural representation of occultic masters and the spirits of these masters dwell inside these statues and people who buy these objects and take them home will be under the influence of spirits dwelling in these art objects. Occultists want to enter your house through the object of art, a statue or sculpture. These spiritual masters double themselves and send a part of their spirit into the statues and when people buy these statues they are bringing a foreign presence in their homes. These strangers are represented through statues and they are observing and gathering information about you. PUTTING OUT THE CHURCH Then Lucifer announced a strategy called putting out the church. Lucifer then addressed the auditorium and he said, "This is the commission I am giving you witches and wizards. You must join churches and be stationed there permanently and you must combat the spiritual growth of local churches at all cost. But in case these churches are still growing then forget about spiritual methods. Resort to physical methods and subject these churches to criticism and foster divisions among them." Beloved, every time a local church is characterized by division, slandering, backstabbing, these are symptoms of witchcraft activities. I just want to underline that the church will grow only when a vision given to the man of God is fulfilled. The church will grow through the support of the members who must adapt and align to the vision of the man of God and they must bring their assistance and financial contribution. Then Lucifer said, "Let's make sure that in every single Church on earth there is at least one witch so that he can gather information and report to us." Then the devil said, "Let my servant witches and wizards that I assigned to churches be of good standard. You must have a good attitude and be closer to pastors in these churches. You must gather information about every local church on the surface of the earth and every Saturday at midnight I want you to report containing information about what is happening in these local churches." Then the devil says to them, "If you fail in your assignment then I will have to send female spirits of the sea. They will migrate to the surface of the earth and they will take human shape and they will join these churches. They will do your job." The devil insisted, "You must be permanent in these churches facilities. Your mission is to bring distraction through dialogue laughs and jokes socializing and fornication. You must wake up early before their prayer and bewitch the place of prayer so that intercessors will be heavy and will fail to pray effectively. The devil said, "For witches, it is enough to bewitch the church facilities. You just need to metamorphose to insects and blow the bluish smoke in order to change the atmosphere in the church facilities and prayer room. As a consequence, everybody will be heavy during the prayer." And then the devil said to the participants, "You must oppose revelational preaching and teaching." The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with you! Amen.
