March 2016 MessagesDeliverance for the captives – soul, spirit and body – part 2 March 13, 2016 Deliverance for the captives –soul, spirit and body. Jesus specializes in delivering captives. A captive is someone who is not free, not free to move about as he/she wants, not free to eat what ordinarily should be eaten, an individual who against their will is under the control of another. What are some of the ways God can use to deliver me? God can use an: Earthquake: In Acts 16:16-26, Paul and Silas were held captive for declaring the counsel of God by casting out a demon in the name of Jesus. The Bible states in v24, that they were put in an inner prison with their feet in stocks. When the devil takes hold of an individual, he wants to make sure the individual cannot escape. You will escape in Jesus name! The God who delivered Paul and Silas will deliver you in Jesus name. What did Paul and Silas do? They prayed and sang praises to God. In v26, God sent an earthquake suddenly to deliver them, the foundations of the prison were shaken and everyone’s bands were loosed, the chains fell off, the stocks were broken, and they became free. I see God sending an earthquake that will shake the foundations of every prison holding you captive. Chains and bands holding anyone here captive will be broken and you will go free in Jesus mighty name. According to Acts 10:38, How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him. Jesus is still in the business of doing good and healing ALL who are oppressed by the devil. Further, in Isaiah 61:1-3, Jesus boldly declares that: 1The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me; because the LORD hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound; 2To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn; 3To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that he might be glorified. Angels: In Acts 12:1-19, Herod killed James, then arrested Peter also, imprisoned him, with 12 soldiers assigned to watch him. Herod was intending to kill him after Easter, However, his plans failed. Every plan being hatched against you now and beyond Easter will fail. God sent an angel who came to Peter, tapped him; his chains fell off, the 2 soldiers beside him were still fast asleep and the gates of the prison and the city opened to Peter on their own accord. The Peter who had been imprisoned walked into freedom. For someone here, God will send His angel to deliver you, your captors will be fast asleep when God orchestrates your deliverance, every chain and agent of imprisonment used to hold you captive will break; doors will open to you on their own accord in Jesus name! God can also use people to deliver you. A woman who had been having issues with Fibroid and her husband called a man of God to come and pray with them, after the prayer, fibroid was gone and subsequently the woman was able to conceive and have a baby boy. Jesus can save to the uttermost according to Hebrews 7:25; He delivered the spirits in prison, and souls held captive by the devil. According to Matthew 4:23 Jesus heals all manner of sickness and disease. And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all manner of sickness and all manner of disease among the people. Himself: According to Isaiah 59:16, when God saw there was no one to help, His own arm brought salvation. God does not require anyone’s help to save you. In Joshua 10, God threw stones (like firing rockets, bombs) from heaven on the enemies of His children, He destroyed enemies of his children in 2 Chronicles 20 without the children of Israel lifting a finger to fight. In Psalm 24:7-10; the Bible states: 7Lift up your heads, O ye gates; and be ye lift up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in. 8Who is this King of glory? The LORD strong and mighty, the LORD mighty in battle. 9Lift up your heads, O ye gates; even lift them up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in. 10Who is this King of glory? The LORD of hosts, he is the King of glory. Selah. Every problem will bow to the Almighty God in Jesus name. 6Whoever stays in him sins not: whoever sins has not seen him, neither known him. 7Little children, let no man deceive you: he that does righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous. 8He that commits sin is of the devil; for the devil sins from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.9Whoever is born of God does not commit sin; for his seed remains in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God. 10In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whoever does not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loves not his brother. 1 John 3:6-10

Give thanks He is Risen! – part 1 March 20, 2016 • He is not here, for He is risen as He said! Come, see the place where He was lying. (Matthew 28:6) The disciples had been having a swell time with Jesus, they had witnessed Jesus raise the dead 3 times, multiplied food, healed people of leprosy and various incurable diseases (similar to being healed from HIV/AIDS, Cancer, dementia, autism, Zika virus etc) that would have been a great experience wouldn’t it? If you had been there to witness it. I believe the disciples were loving it, the crusades that made the government of the day, the politicians and religious leaders green with envy. Some expected that Jesus is the king they had been waiting for who would put an end to the oppression they were going through at the hand of the Romans. However, that was not the case. Have you ever had an expectation concerning what the Lord will do or should do for you dashed? Unfulfilled? You may have been there. I have been there. When the angel told the women ‘’He is not here’ what was happening here. He is not here is a statement that brings bewilderment, dashed hopes and dashed expectations. They were expecting to see Jesus, but now they did not see him, they were being informed they cannot see him there and then, Isn’t the shock of Him – the son of God – God being crucified and dying enough – for those of us who have ever lost a close dear loved one to death, it is usually a shocking experience, you are bewildered, wondering how could this be, trying to put the pieces together, and to work on the body, and being told the body is not accessible takes the trauma to a higher level. What do you do when faced with the pain of the past? Past errors, wrongdoings and failures? How do you correct the past? Seemingly irreversible situations? Hand it over to the Lord! When you turn to the Lord, it shall be taken away, there is no irreversible situation with faith. ‘If you had been here my brother would not have died’. (John 11:21). Jesus paraphrased said “No worries, I am now here”. Lazarus came back to life. Your irreversible situation can change and will change for good in Jesus name. Thank God, that was not the end of the story, the angel said further: ‘He is risen’ that is, His status has changed, he is no longer in a bodily inactive state, he has moved; the chains of death and immobility could no longer keep him down, he has conquered death by the power of life, from the spirit of life. He is Risen is: A Statement of Assurance: An assurance that all hope was not lost. A statement that God’s words are true. The psalmist said you will not allow your holy one to see corruption (Psalm 16:10). Jesus said, after 3 days I will rise again and He did rise (Mark 8:31, Mark 9:31). Therefore whatever promise God has given you is sure and steadfast, because God’s word cannot fail. (Isaiah 55:8-11, John 10:35, Hebrews 6:16-18). God’s promises to you will not fail in Jesus name, they will surely come to pass. A Statement of Favour: Not everyone who dies wakes up again. It is special favour (Psalm 45:7, Hebrews 1:9). May you encounter the special favour of God in this season; Favour that will lift you above your contemporaries in Jesus name. A Statement of Joy: The Bible states in Psalm 30:5 that weeping may endure for a night, but joy is coming in the morning, that is, after your period of heartache, sorrow and weeping a new day is coming. Easter represents a new day, He is risen signifies a new beginning of unspeakable joy. What has been lost is recovered. Newness of life begins. I pray that will be your portion in Jesus name. Prayers: 1. Give thanks. 2. Are you saved? If not please pray the prayers on the Life page before continuing the prayers. 3. Father, let me not waver in the face of obstacles and problems in Jesus name. 4. Let your assurance of divine support be on my life in Jesus name. 5. Every mistake and problems of the past, hindering my future, die in Jesus name. 6. Father, correct the effects of problems and mistakes of the past in Jesus name. 7. Father, let a new day of joy start in my life, family, ministry and destiny in Jesus mighty name. 8. Lord, you are Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and the Ending, perfect my beginning, now, future and ending in Jesus mighty name! 9. Promotion, increase and supernatural lifting is my portion in Jesus name. 10. Every agenda of the kingdom of darkness for me and my family backfire in Jesus name. 11. Personal prayer points 12. Give thanks He is Risen! – part 2 March 27, 2016 • He is not here, for He is risen as He said! Come, see the place where He was lying. (Matthew 28:6) He is risen is the power of divinity at work! Heaven stepping into the affairs of men on earth to do what men cannot do, for heaven to be glorified. And if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, he who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies because of his Spirit who lives in you. Romans 8:11 Angels, divine beings proclaimed Jesus is no longer among the dead, His status had changed, He that was dead is now alive, well and sound. The Good news is that God raises the dead, that same God can and will raise up dead things in your life as you trust in Him and key into the power of Easter. Easter, the greatest of Christian seasons represents the hope that all Christians have that as Jesus rose from the dead into newness of life, we have arisen into newness of Life. I have shared before about when I was not yet a Christian and was daily into alcohol consumption, but I just could not stop on my own, there was a power beyond me pushing me to do what I would not like to do like Apostle Paul in Romans 7: 15-25, he had to shout out “who will deliver me from this body of death” and he was delivered. If we are dead to death - the things that can kill such as sin, addictions, negative actions - self destruction, nakedness etc. and to satan; a dead man cannot be aroused into sin, for example, fornication, adultery, backbiting etc. We can then move into newness of life. You can rise from being dead in sin and trespasses into life in Christ (So you also should consider yourselves to be dead to the power of sin and alive to God through Christ Jesus - Romans 6:11) you can rise from adultery and formication (spiritual & physical) into holiness and consecration. He is risen speaks of divine strengthening to rise when all else has failed. I used to make new year resolutions before I became saved, including not drinking beer/alcohol before I got saved, but never able to hold on and achieve those resolutions. Are you consistently failing in an area of life and destiny? God is a God of purpose and is able and willing to help you. An announcement of your deliverance is coming from heaven, someone is going free today; someone is being delivered today from the shackles of imprisonment, from a low life of sin, from overwhelming situations in Jesus name. If only for this life we have hope in Christ, we are of all people most to be pitied. 1 Corinthians 15: 19(NIV) If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable. (KJV) The same angels that made the announcement also announced that Jesus is coming back "Men of Galilee," they said, "why do you stand here looking into the sky? This same Jesus, who has been taken from you into heaven, will come back in the same way you have seen him go into heaven." (Acts 1:11) be ready when He comes back. However, I consider my life worth nothing to me; my only aim is to finish the race and complete the task the Lord Jesus has given me--the task of testifying to the good news of God's grace. Acts 20:24 (NIV) But none of these things move me, neither count I my life dear unto myself, so that I might finish my course with joy, and the ministry, which I have received of the Lord Jesus, to testify the gospel of the grace of God. (KJV) Prayers: 1. Give thanks. 2. Are you saved? If not please pray the prayers on the Life page before continuing the prayers. 3. Let heavens speak a word of deliverance into my life and destiny, in Jesus name. 4. Father, by your power I rise from obscurity in Jesus name. 5. Lord, let your power that raised up Christ from the dead, raise up into life every dead good thing in my life, family and destiny in Jesus name. 6. As Jesus was raised into newness of Life, I arise into a new life of victory, joy and peace in Jesus name. 7. Promotion, increase and supernatural lifting is my portion in Jesus name. 8. Every agenda of the kingdom of darkness for me and my family backfire in Jesus name. 9. Personal prayer points 10. Give thanks |
