Breaking the Norms Religion produces norms, rules and formulas for you to be changed. A person may change temporarily, but when the Power of God is absent these changes will not be permanent. We must have a relationship with God on order to obtain permanent changes and overcome problems. Jesus taught His disciples how to pray with the Abba Father prayer. Jesus tells us to start prayer with the revelation of whom the Father is and who you are. In this manner, therefore, pray: Our Father in heaven, Hallowed be Your name. Your kingdom come. Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Matthew 6:9-10. This prayer must be used as a model, not a formula because if it becomes a formula you then have religion. The model of prayer that Jesus presented to His disciples was one that produced results. We should all want to take hold of the spirit of prayer in order to produce results in our personal lives and our ministries. The Revelation of the Father The Abba Father prayer starts out with this sentence Our Father in heaven, Hallowed be Your name. The first revelation we encounter is that we recognize the pattern from heaven to pray effectively and produce results. This is something that is practical and for daily use. The next revelation we encounter through this prayer is the revelation of who the Father is. Prayer is not about what happens in public but rather what happens with your Father in private. The revelation of the Father is important because Father means life source. In other words, God is the life source of all things we need, whether in the form of healing, deliverance, prosperity, etc. To call God your Father you must recognize and understand that there is a genetic connection you share, the same DNA.

You did not come from evolution but instead from the Father. We came out from Him, and He created us in heaven. Our spiritual DNA is from heaven because our Father is the origin of all things in the natural and Supernatural. Benefits of Praying to the Father Your prayer life starts when you say Abba Father, when you begin to pray like a son or daughter. There are five things the revelation of the Father will bring: 1. Identity 2. Security 3. Self Esteem 4. Validation 5. Affirmation Many people in the Old Testament asked others who their fathers were because when they knew who the father was, they knew what type of DNA the person was carrying. When you declare that God is your Father you are stating that you are a carrier of His DNA. The Spirit of Bondage For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God. 15 For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out, Abba, Father. -Romans 8:14-15. Many of us do not have an intimate relationship with the Father because behind them is a spirit of bondage. The spirit f bondage is also fear. When we accept Jesus as our Savior, the Holy Spirit adopts us into the family of God, then we can cry out Abba Father and fear must leave. Fear causes people to flee from the challenges of life and makes them afraid to act. This spirit makes you constantly worry about the opinions of others and you eventually can become a people pleaser. We should be focused on what God thinks instead. The spirit of adoption comes from the Holy Spirit. The mark of a mature son or daughter is to be continually led by the Spirit of God. If the Spirit of God is not continually leading you have not received the spirit of adoption. Once you receive this, your prayer life will change because you will be able to cry out to your Father and know that you are a carrier of His DNA. You were not born to be a coward, you were born to fight and triumph! When you go pray, cry out Abba Father until the spirit of adoption comes and covers you. Fear is bondage, it torments. You need to let go of bondage and receive the spirit of adoption. AMEN!

The Name of Jesus

Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us. Ephesians 3:20 The Revelation and Power of the Name of Jesus In the beginning God -Genesis 1:1 First, God reveals Himself, and then He performs His power. Only God can reveal Himself.

The names of God reveal three qualities: 1. His nature 2. His character 3. His promises God has more than 300 names and all of them reveal who He is. All those names precede from I am, like Jehovah Jireh or Jehovah the Provider; I Am is who provides everything that you may need by nature. I Am means One that has life in Himself and does not need anything or anyone to exist. He exists by Himself. He lives by His own desire and created the world out of nothing. He who exists by Himself is here now. The name I Am is the generational name of God. He said that His name would be passed on from generation to generation. So, first, God reveals Himself, and then He demonstrates His power. When Jesus came, which name did He use? 1. I Am the way. 2. I Am the bread of Heaven. 3. I Am the truth. 4. I Am resurrection and life. The name of Jesus bears authority in three places: 1. Heaven 2. Earth 3. Under the earth The river of God operates when you are under a rhema word or revealed word. Revelation is the Power of God in motion; it is a spiritual motion. God brought you here to take you out of stagnation. MOVE! If you are in a wheelchair RISE UP! God wants you to pray to Him in the name of Jesus: Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name. Philippians 2:9 Jesus developed His ministry from two places: 1. His prayer life 2. His identity Jesus would pray and battle, then go back to pray for the next battle. In the Presence of God, He will tell you to bear His generational name: I am, because He is your Father. You are not an orphan. The children of God bear authority! Through God you can overcome! Only Gods children have the right to bear His generational name. In My Name Do you not believe that I am in the Father, and the Father in Me? John 14:10 The Greek version says: I am in the place of my Father.

In that day you will ask in My name, and I do not say to you that I shall pray the Father for you. John 16:26 The expression in My name means in the power of, in the authority of, in the stead of, and in the will of. That name is not like a talisman; it is not something that will bring you good luck. You are taking the place of God. You are not God but you represent Him and act in His name. When you say: Blessings in the name of our Lord, Jesus Christ, you have the entire Heaven backing you up. God releases a great responsibility upon us. Many people have prayed in the name of Jesus and nothing has happened. Why? Something is missing. For the name of Jesus to release all of its power, you need to be walking in His will. It is impossible for you to be in His name and in His will without power, because there is power in the name of Jesus! When you are out of the will of God, you are cancelling the power that is in the name of Jesus. That is why nothing happens when you say: In the name of Jesus. In His name is the seat of authority. If you have revelation of the name of Jesus, every time you use it, you will be taking authority over the enemy, on behalf of your Father. When you are in the center of His will, you are in the fullness of the Power of God. We can exercise the power and authority of God as His children, with a generational authority. From now on, tell the obstacle: In the name of Jesus, in the authority of Jesus, in the place of Jesus, and in the will of Jesus. Go in His power and authority, but also go in His will. If you are there, nothing will be impossible for you!

Become One with The One

Prayer is a place of revelation and revelation originates from a relationship with God Prayer is not a formula; it is an experience! Christ developed His ministry from His identity as a Son of God and from the place called there. Relationship Is A Place 1. Prayer is a place of revelation. Revelation activates you to have an experience with God. Prayer is only learned through experience, not through a formula. 2. Prayer is a place of power. Without God, we can do nothing. I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing. John 15:5. 3. Prayer is a place of miracles! Before miracles are manifested in the physical realm, they go to a place called prayer. 4. Prayer is a place of receiving. Without prayer, you cannot receive anything. Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours. Mark 11:24. Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.

5. Prayer is the place where you become one with the One. And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord. Mark 12:29. One with The One We should have a great passion to know Him intimately that we daily ask for more of Him and less of us. He must increase, but I must decrease. John 3:30 Become one with The One because you are on this world but you are not from it. And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep through thine own name those whom thou hast given me, that they may be one, as we are. John 17:11 Independence The devil tempted Adam by telling him he would be like God, but he was already like God. Knowing good and evil means independence. There is a spirit in the human that wants to do everything independently without God. The devil fights against unity. Why? Unity brings blessings and opens doors to greater things in the Kingdom of God. That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me. John 17:21 Jesus wants a relationship with us through prayer. When you stop praying, you start to assume God; you begin to think that you know what is right and wrong. Do not stray from God being the one to lead you. One Who Rules As God God changed Jacobs name to Israel. Israel means One who rules as God. When you become one with The One who rules, you begin to govern like God who governs over sickness, sin, and demons. How do you become one with Him? In a place called THERE! When you become one with The One you rehearse; you practice heaven on earth. Sometimes you cannot do things because you have not practiced them first. Only in prayer can you become one with The One. Like God, Did God, Make Man And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps upon the earth. Genesis 1:26. When you enter in to the place of prayer sad, depressed and weak, you will come out joyful, determined and empowered. When we go into the secret place called there, you become like God. This does not mean you ARE God, it means you will speak, act and think LIKE God! You cannot move in the Supernatural without becoming one with The One. When you become one with The One, you do not only act and believe like God, but your identity comes from that oneness. When you are one with The One, you become invincible. God wants to lift up people that will not be defeated by sin and the devil.

For God knows that in the day you eat from it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil. Genesis 3:5. When you become one with The One, all He is and all He has becomes yours. Jesus said to him, Have I been so long with you, and yet you have not come to know Me, Philip? He who has seen Me has seen the Father; how can you say, Show us the Father ? John 14:9. You become one with The One in the place called there. Are you willing to become one with The One? Step into the place called relationship, to the place called there. Wherever you go, represent the Father and manifest healings, wonders and miracles! God made you like Him, get up, step into the place called there and begin to govern as He governs!

Overcoming A Trial
How many of you have experienced trials? Notice what God tells us about what to do when trials and tribulations come: Wherein you greatly rejoice, though now for a season, if need be, you are in heaviness through manifold temptations. 1 Peter 1:6. Time The first thing you should understand is that problems do not last forever, they are only for a short period of time. The devil will always point to time because there he is removing you from faith. What worries us the most during a trial? That it will last forever. If the enemy is able to take you to time then you will not have faith. The devils goal is to push you into thinking within the terms of time. Why? Faith does not operate in time. Your trial has an expiration date. In other words, your unemployment, sickness and situation has an expiration date. How do you draw a difference between the world and us? When the world is going through trials they do not have strength, joy, hope or God. While you have strength, joy, hope and God! When a test comes into your life: Go to your room, look in the mirror and say, Look devil, Im not going to get depressed, Im going to rejoice. Why are you surprised when trials come to your life? Dear friends, do not be surprised at the fiery ordeal that has come on you to test you, as though something strange were happening to you. -1 Peter 4:12. Every believer in the world is going through something, some are going through the same thing you are. Do not believe the enemy when he tells you that you are the only one!

Tribulations produce patience because they mold your character. Tribulations are part of the Christian life because we are in the middle of two colliding kingdoms. Patience Not only so, but we also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. And hope does not put us to shame, because Gods love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us. Romans 3:3-5 Patience produces experience. We all need an experience because it is not the same to talk about faith and to live by faith. Rejoice! Tell the world: I am not well but it is only for a short period of time! Rejoice because the victory in Jesus Christ is now. Dont let the religious spirit keep you from receiving your joy! Dont retain the joy; let the Holy Spirit flow through you! Laughter is a sign of breakthrough. Receive your joy and your breakthrough right NOW!

Being Introduced Into His Presence

When in the presence of God, dont keep your arms crossed. Celebrate His presence and learn to receive from Him. Respond to Him. Dont quench the Holy Spirit. When you move in the glory of God, you just have two things you can count on the leading of the Holy Spirit and the rhema word. There is no specific pattern or structure that exists for you to go by. Attract His presence with your worship and hunger. No one should tell you how to worship to instruct you to raise your hands or to put words in your mouth. It is like telling a husband that he needs to tell his wife he loves her. And one cried to another and said: Holy, holy, holy is the LORD of hosts; the whole earth is full of His glory! Isaiah 6:3 For the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea. Habakkuk 2:14 The Three Dimensions of the Supernatural We cannot understand the glory if we dont first understand faith and anointing. The battle preachers always have is introducing people into the presence of God. 1. Faith Faith is a voluntary act based on our knowledge or conviction. It is the legal entry to the invisible or supernatural realm. It is the key to operate and work in the eternal realm. It is the ability of the believer to believe something that is unreasonable. Faith is NOW and requires a revelation from

now. You cannot have a present faith without a present revelation. We dont see miracles today in the church because miracles occur in the NOW, not yesterday. Most of the decisions we make are based on time, not on faith. If it is not now, it is not faith. Faith is the prerequisite to enter into the glory. Many people want to enter the glory but dont even know what faith is. In essence, it is the substance of the spiritual world. When Jesus heard that, He said, This sickness is not unto death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God may be glorified through it. - John 11:4 Faith has been given to each and every one of us by measure. You must first believe in order to see the glory of God. Entering in His glory is a reward of your faith; it is His greatest reward. Faith is supernatural but we have reduced it to something natural. We have reduced it to optimism and motivational messages. But when you preach faith, the most amazing miracles take place because it is NOW from a present revelation. 2. Anointing The anointing is an aspect of the supernatural power of God that empowers us to fulfill the purpose and calling here on earth. It is one of the aspects of His power working through us. It has been given to each and every one of us by measure. We need each other because we have measures that others dont have, and vice versa.
7

But to each one of us grace was given according to the measure of Christs gift. Ephesians 4:7 We dont have it all in ourselves; we need each other. Anointing is the power of God working through you. It is the seal in your spirit you to experience the glory. In Him you also trusted, after you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation; in whom also, having believed, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise, - Ephesians 1:13 The anointing was given to us for the earth. There are no blind, deaf or sick people in heaven. There are none who are brokenhearted and oppressed. You do not need anointing in heaven; it is for the earth. It is not for your pride or for your fame. God wants to release His anointing to humble people who love the people. If you are a pastor and you wanted to die with that mantle, it is best if you start transferring it. The Spirit of the LORD is upon Me, Because He has anointed Me to preach the gospel to the poor; He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to set at liberty those who are oppressed; - Luke 4:18 God give us anointing because we all fell short of the glory of God. Man was under the glory, not anointing, before sin and so God gave us anointing. For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, - Romans 3:23

3. Glory The glory of God is the manifested presence of God Himself. It is the realm of eternity. It is eternity revealed, without limits or restrictions. It is the atmosphere of God Himself. Each manifestation is from the nature and character of God Himself. It is not His power operating through us, but rather it is God Himself doing His own works. We have limited God because we think He has to do His works through a human being. While this is true in the anointing and in faith, in His glory He works by His own initiative. It is beyond your measure of faith and anointing. It is God Himself, in all of His attributes and majesty. When God performs a miracle in you without you having the faith to believe for it or the anointing to manifest it, it is God Himself touching you directly. The Apostle has been in meetings where, without even touching anyone, miracle after miracle begins taking place. It had nothing to do with his faith, anointing or gifts but the glory of God! Faith, Anointing, and Glory Faith is not the anointing; anointing is not glory; and glory is not faith. 1. Faith places a demand on the anointing of man. Where faith is exercised, it attracts anointing and pulls from the mantle; faith and anointing work together. When you go to a service, pull from the mantle of the man of God! There have been times when the Apostle wanted to end a service but he could not because people were pulling from the mantle. Their faith was pulling from him. If you came tormented, pull! There is a miracle anointing on the mantle of this ministry; put a demand on the mantle! Many of you stopped receiving from your pastors because you became familiar with their mantles and you stopped pulling. Start pulling transformation and changes! God has sealed you and has marked you to have an experience with the glory! 2. The Glory of God places a demand on God Himself. Do you want a part of God or God Himself? In the anointing, the man is seen. Unfortunately people look at the man as the one with the great anointing but when God uses humanity, people become mistaken and begin to idolize the man. In the glory, God demands to be seen Himself! Many people know how to stretch their hand to the mantle but dont know how to receive directly from God. Dont put God in a box. By faith, take what is yours directly from God. God wants to introduce you to the glory Himself today. Anointing vs. Glory

The anointing was given to us to heal the sick, in the glory of God, sickness is illegal. There is a supernatural immunity that is given in the presence of God. We are addicted to the anointing of man. Yes, anointing is from God but you can come out of there and go directly to Him.

In the anointing, Christ is our Healer. In the glory, He is our Creator. We need Him as both! In the anointing, we work. In the glory, we rest. The anointing was given to cut the head off of giants. In the glory, giants dont enter.

God wants to take you from glory to glory. If you are missing an organ, bone, flesh, or hair in any place on your body, Gods glory is coming upon you now! If you have a limb shorter than the other, receive your miracle now! Any mental problems in your life or in your kids lives, right now it is fixed in the name of Jesus! Worship Him! How do we make the transition from anointing to glory? For many years, the Apostle prayed and fasted for creative miracles and spiritual acceleration but nothing would happen. One day, God spoke to the Apostles wife to pray for him because God wanted to take him to a new dimension. His entrance into this new dimension was first birthed through his wifes intercession. The greatest level of faith that you can have is to let God be God. People want to control everything in the service and God cannot be God under those conditions. Let Him do whatever He feels like doing in your life and in the life of your church. It is the highest level of faith you can have. God has wanted to take you to a new level for a long time but you do not have the hunger for it. The reason why God took him to this new dimension is because of his hunger for the presence and glory of God! His concern is not for what people think about him; he is hungry and thirsty for God! He is tired of preachers with a big ego who want to be in the spotlight. God wants to be seen! Many pastors do not know what it is to enter into the presence of God. Pastor, when was the last time you cried in His presence? When was the last time you were broken down? You have hardened your heart! Let God penetrate you. Open your mouth and cry out for Him again! People going through crisis today are people who did not make the transition when God wanted to. Some ministries are no longer on television because they wanted to continue in the anointing but God wanted to take them into the glory. Right now, make a decision to let go and let God be God. Make a decision to give God His place. Let Him be seen! If you have to weep or cry out like a crazy person, do it! Humble yourself again before God and right now seek Him until you are no longer the same! God wants to release His glory. Jesus preached the kingdom, power and glory. Glory is the movement of God. Where did you get stuck? What did you conform to? You need to hunger and thirst for God again. You need the passion for the new things that God has if you want to make that transition. Do you want the gift of man or His presence?

The Ministry of Deliverance

What is Deliverance?

In the Old Testament, there was no casting out of demons because Satan had a legal right over man; but when Jesus began his ministry and preaching the Kingdom of God, this included the casting out of demons from people. The Kingdom of God includes removing demons from its territory. For this reason Jesus prayed: Let Your kingdom come, because when we bring that kingdom, there is a clash against the kingdom of light and darkness. The kingdom of darkness has to be removed from your church, your people and your nation. Deliverance is about the devil and his defeat! Whenever you pray deliverance, let the devil know that he is defeated. You have defeated him in your house and in your church. Christ is here right now and He is on the inside of you! God made us warriors, mighty, courageous and fearless! At the cross, Christ administered to Satan a permanent, eternal and radical defeat. Deliverance and Family Deliverance and casting out of demons can only be understood by revelation. Jesus has revealed to us that He has given us His power to cast out demons. He gave us all men, women and children authority and dominion over Satan. Your children are watching what you do. What will your children say of you? As Jesus says in this verse, they will be your judges: If Satan casts out Satan, he is divided against himself. How then will his kingdom stand? And if I cast out demons by Beelzebub, by whom do your sons cast them out? Therefore they shall be your judges. Matthew 12:26-27 Men, you are the priests of your household, you need to put on your authority and lift up the warrior wife you have next of you. Stop being selfish; bring her up so she that she can prophesy! A man is one who impacts, not from male chauvinism and not because you are a man. Real men are not afraid that their wife is anointed. Raise her up! Some people have told me that women do not preach but read Isaiah 56. Christ is coming soon; you have to run to advance His Kingdom! Get up and evangelize, cast out demons and heal the sick! Then Jesus went out from there and departed to the region of Tyre and Sidon. And behold, a woman of Canaan came from that region and cried out to Him, saying, Have mercy on me, O Lord, Son of David! My daughter is severely demon-possessed. But He answered her not a word. And His disciples came and urged Him, saying, Send her away, for she cries out after us. But He answered and said, I was not sent except to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. Then she came and worshiped Him, saying, Lord, help me! But He answered and said, It is not good to take the childrens bread and throw it to the little dogs. And she said, Yes, Lord, yet even the little dogs eat the crumbs which fall from their masters table. Then Jesus answered and said to her, O woman, great is your faith! Let it be to you as you desire. And her daughter was healed from that very hour. Matthew 15:21-28 Deliverance is the bread of the children won by Christ at the cross. Jesus offends people to see what is in their heart. Even though the Canaanite woman did not have a right to deliverance, she asked for Jesus to send the Word. She overcame everything to reach the deliverance of her daughter. Ninety percent of my prayers are based on deliverance. God can set your family free.

Just decree the Word! Send the Word anywhere on earth to the jail, to the hospital, to their home tell that devil to GO! The Ministry of Jesus And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all kinds of sickness and all kinds of disease among the people. Then His fame went throughout all Syria; and they brought to Him all sick people who were afflicted with various diseases and torments, and those who were demon-possessed, epileptics, and paralytics; and He healed them. Matthew 4:23-24 Only 2% of churches do deliverance in the church, but 25% of Jesus ministry was casting out demons. The problem in the church is that they give nice teachings but they do not manifest healings or the casting out of demons. We need to have 100% of the ministry of Jesus. The Spirit of the LORD is upon Me, because He has anointed Me to preach the gospel to the poor; He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to set at liberty those who are oppressed;To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD. Luke 4:18-19 You are made of dirt, and from time to time, some bad weed and insects attach to you because we are not in our glorified state yet. Every day, as a lifestyle, we need to forgive and be forgiven. Deliverance over our lives needs to become a daily activity. Leaders, when someone approaches you for counseling, do not waste your time counseling demons, instead cast them out. Satan cannot cast out Satan. We have to ask God to show us the problem in order to help them. Go Into The World And He said to them, Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature. He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned. And these signs will follow those who believe: In My name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues; they will take up serpents; and if they drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover. Mark 16:15-18 This is for every believer; you do not have to be a prophet or an apostle. Take authority, pray, put your armor on and send the Word! Take the Holy Communion because when you are submerged in the blood, the serpents cannot touch you. Now John answered Him, saying, Teacher, we saw someone who does not follow us casting out demons in Your name, and we forbade him because he does not follow us. But Jesus said, Do not forbid him, for no one who works a miracle in My name can soon afterward speak evil of Me. For he who is not against us is on our side. For whoever gives you a cup of water to drink in My name, because you belong to Christ, assuredly, I say to you, he will by no means lose his reward. Mark 9:38-41

Pastors, perhaps you do not have 100% of Jesus ministry activated in your ministry but start with 25% and begin casting out demons with the power and authority that you have in Jesus Christ!

God is who He is
God is who He is because of what He is The appropriate name of God is I Am. From that name derive 360 other names of which the church only knows 7 of them. Each one of those names reveal Gods promises for his people and His nature. Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever. -Hebrew 13:8. We serve a God who always is and never changes. You can face the greatest trial in existence. But never the less you know that God is God. He is and always will be the same. Everything in God begins from being. You do not DO to BE, you ARE to DO. In other words, you do not do things to be something, you first are someone and then you act on it. God is Supernatural God is Supernatural, which means that He is beyond the laws of nature. God is the one who created the laws of nature and He can break them whenever He wants. When he wants to do a miracle for his people out of love for His people, He suspends and breaks them whenever He wants. What does this tell you? Do not put limits on God! God is beyond sickness, explanation, time, space, matter, beyond the laws of nature, and beyond temporary situations! If you can explain it, it is not supernatural. Do not try to explain the miracles of God, just believe it because if you believe it, you achieve the Glory of God! Gods Plan Gods plan is always to break the laws of nature for and through His people. It is time to allow God to use you to break the laws of nature. How? When you pray for a miracle and that miracle happens, it is God breaking laws to reach you and others! Remove all the limits from God! Faith is the atmosphere of heaven because God says I Am. All He has to do is think it and it is done. When God gives a revelation, it is like giving birth to a child. We are in Him and He is in us. If He is in me who can be against me? Greater is He that is in me than He that is in the world. Believe and achieve for God works in the NOW!

Restoring the Supernatural in the Church

Who is God? What does it mean to restore the Supernatural? What does Supernatural mean? Who is a Supernaturalist?

The legacy of Jesus on Earth is a Supernatural church. When did we begin to get away from it and why? How do we deal with the spirit of the Antichrist? What are the substitutes of the Supernatural? How can we return to the Supernatural? Who is God? God cannot be defined. He is an eternal, spiritual being who is immutable with Supernatural strengths, attributes and abilities and lives in eternity. By nature, He is Supernatural; He cannot be defined another way. The doctrine of the church was founded on the Supernatural. The definition of God in the dictionary is, the Supernatural governor of the universe with power and authority. How can we say we believe in God, the Bible and the four gospels if we do not believe the Supernatural? How can we believe in the birth of Jesus and His resurrection? If you do not believe in the Supernatural, you cannot believe in Jesus. Jesus was Supernatural and the church was founded on miracles, not on social work. Though it is good to do social work, it is not the churchs foundation. Approaching God must be done with understanding of what the Supernatural is. It is an insult to God to treat him like a natural being. To get close to Him, we need to recognize that He is Supernatural. If you take away that aspect, you are saying He does not exist. Christ came to demonstrate that God is Supernatural. What Makes God Supernatural?

God is self-existing. He doesnt need the natural dimension to exist. What makes Him Supernatural is that He lives by His own will. He depends on no one. He is God.

And God said to Moses, I AM WHO I AM. And He said, Thus you shall say to the children of Israel, I AM has sent me to you. Exodus 3:14

God is Almighty, El Shaddai; the omnipotent. God is a Spirit. All who worship Him need to worship in Spirit and in truth. All of Scripture is filled with Supernatural acts.

So the man of God said, Where did it fall? And he showed him the place. So he cut off a stick, and threw it in there; and he made the iron float. 2 Kings 6:6 How Do We Define Supernatural? Supernatural means above, on top of, something that surpasses the natural state. It is a realm that has an order of existence above the universe. It is eternal, permanent, never changing and has dominion over the natural realm: the law of time, space and matter. The supernatural has the ability to transcend the spiritual world and manifest of tangible form and visible on earth, with signs, miracles and wonders.

The Supernatural was designed by God to be captured first, and then taught. To whom He also presented Himself alive after His suffering by many infallible proofs, being seen by them during forty days and speaking of the things pertaining to the kingdom of God. Acts 1:3 The Supernatural is for doing and teaching. If you want to catch it, you need to associate with people who are walking in the Supernatural. If you walk with dogs, you are going to get fleas. When you walk with giant killers, you are going to become a Giant Killer too! God called the Apostle to bring the Supernatural power of God to this generation but the challenge is that everywhere he goes, he finds that people have not yet been exposed to the Supernatural so they do not know what he is talking about when he tries to teach them on the Supernatural. They have never seen miracles. God has brought you to this place to activate you and impart into you so that you can walk in signs, wonders and miracles. It has been a challenge because the church has failed to demonstrate it. Naturalist vs. Supernaturalist A naturalist is someone who studies nature plants, medicine and all that is natural. The opposite is a Supernaturalist someone who operates beyond reason. The Bible calls these people visionaries. If you are a Christian, born-again, you are a Supernaturalist. Look beyond that which you currently have. Open your eyes! God wants to activate you to see beyond reason. He has never called you to reason; He called you to come out of the boat. He is our God our Supernatural God. There is something greater than where you have been. Stretch forward! You are a Supernaturalist! People criticize and look at you strange because they want to explain why God used you and not them. It is because they try to reason everything out. Get ready to go into a new dimension! There are some people who reject everything having to do with the Supernatural. They persecute and even attack it. There are others who believe it and preach it in theory; that is called being religious. The Pharisees believed in them but did not practice them. Supernatural: Theory or Truth? Religion cannot change your circumstance. It can speak about your past and future, but never your presence. The power of glory is for the now. Take the power of God to the sick, depressed and oppressed. It is there where His kingdom needs to manifest. One day, a vacuum cleaner salesman showed up to Apostle Guillermo Maldonados house and started to talk about how powerful the vacuum is. He spoke of it in such a way that he really built up an expectation in the Apostle that the Apostle was eager to see the demonstration of it. When he requested for a demonstration, however, he was given a pamphlet and was told once he bought it, he would see its greatness. There are many pastors and ministers who give such a great presentation that they raise up in you an expectation and hunger to see God. Instead, at the end of their preaching, they say, Thank you very much. Where are the power and the Supernatural, the miracles, signs and wonders?

The Supernatural is founded on truth not on emotions or intellectualism. People are tired of the old, of religion! People are dying; they want a living God! They want something different, something fresh! You are the answer! Can we demonstrate the Kingdom now? Can we pray for the sick here and now? Yes, we can! At any present moment, you can bring down the Kingdom of God. The Supernatural is the natural accelerated. The natural is the Supernatural decelerated. How do you know if the Supernatural is absent in your life? You know when you stay stuck in one state. You do not see any spiritual growth, church growth, leadership growth, or growth in your business. You know the Supernatural is not there because, when it is, acceleration takes place. The Supernatural establishes the rhythm, order and flow of God in our lives. Order produces life. When there is no order, the flow of life is interrupted and sickness and oppression in the mind comes to you. For this reason, the devil will always try to interrupt the flow of the Supernatural in your life. Anything that is real and true is in the realm of the Supernatural. God created man with an appetite for the Supernatural. Without the Supernatural, you cannot overcome impossibilities. You were given the appetite for the impossible by God. Faith is the legal entrance to the Supernatural and invisible realm. God has given you faith. Jesus came to earth to demonstrate the Supernatural through his power and faith in His identity. When He left, He delegated that demonstration to the church and, thus, birthed it in the river of the Supernatural. There are 28 chapters in the book of Acts, all of which contain a Supernatural event. How did the church start to get away from the Supernatural? 1. Greek Philosophies. The first step away from the Supernatural was due to the influence of Greek philosophies. This is when the church exchanged their faith for reason. What does Aristotle or Plato have to do with the faith of Christ? In the 13th century, this invasion of Greek teachings entered the education system and infiltrated the church. The University of Berlin separated theology, history and sociology and, in the 19th century, the liberals recommended removing the Supernatural from the Bible. It is time for you to break away from your reasoning and believe with God-faith. The current problem in church is not just a lack of experiencing God but rather experiencing His absence. The church practices how to live without the Supernatural. The Apostle taught at a conference of approximately 10,000 ministerial leaders. When he asked how many had not received the baptism of the Holy Spirit, half of them lifted up their hands. Many of them were apostles. This is evidence that the church has been practicing the absence of Gods power. It has conformed to the natural; but God is raising the church up again to have an

experience with His presence. It does not matter how many people you have in your church. You need a fresh experience with the power of God. People go to work because they expect to get paid. We go to restaurants expecting to eat. We go to the gas station and expect to put gas in our cars. When we go to church, we should expect the Supernatural but we dont because we have conformed to living without Gods presence. It is time to break religion and take the power of God. The deaf will hear, the blind will see, the glory of God will shine upon you so rise up and shake off that religion! Greek thoughts have filled the church. People criticize and judge what they cannot produce. If you are a believer, born again, start moving in miracles, signs and wonders. Break religion off and bring the Almighty God.

We have preached a historical Christ, not a resurrected One. The church has removed apostles and prophets. Apostles and prophets are the breakthrough ministries that bring the Supernatural into the church. If we remove them, we remove the Supernatural. There is no focus on the Supernatural. When we come to church, we dont come looking for it; we come looking for a teaching that feeds our misery, sin and bad lifestyle; but when the Spirit of God comes, you will see people young and old surrender themselves to God. The church has not valued the principles of prayer and fasting. These principles are seen as an old school principle for others. How can we have the power of church without fasting and prayer? The church has stopped seeking communion with God. Ministers tell God how much time He has to move in their services instead of submitting to the move of His Spirit. Independence. The desire of man to live independently of the Supernatural, which is the original sin.

Why do we need the Supernatural if we have nice churches where we know and all are good people? Without the Supernatural, you will have a form of godliness but no power. Your character cannot change without the Supernatural. Try to change yourself in your own strength with all the discipline you have, and you wont be able to. How can you overcome the devil and sin without the Supernatural? The church now laughs saying we do not need it and many say it is for the crazy, radical ones; however, those people are practicing the absence of the power of God. Without the Supernatural, the church is reduced to a social club. How can we speak of faith in a place empty and void of revelation? There is nothing fresh; you have the same sermon for all of the holidays there is nothing new. How can God move in a church like that? The more the church gets away from the Supernatural, the more we will make Christ into a myth or a legend. O foolish Galatians! Who has bewitched you that you should not obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ was clearly portrayed among you as crucified? This only I want to learn from you: Did you receive the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith? Are you so foolish? Having begun in the Spirit, are you now being made perfect by the flesh? Have you

suffered so many things in vainif indeed it was in vain? Therefore He who supplies the Spirit to you and works miracles among you, does He do it by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith? Galatians 3:1-5 The Galatians began to see miracles, signs and wonders but then legalism and carnality came in. It is not just the fact that we are living without the Supernatural but when we remove the Supernatural, the devil brings in the Antichrists. Christ means Messiah, Anointed One. Anti means to be against or to substitute. The spirit of the Antichrist is against the anointing. An Antichrist is someone who is anti-power, antiSupernatural. Antichrists of Todays Church

Apostles and prophets were replaced by good administrators. Reason substituted faith. Entertainment replaced power and worship. Counseling took the place of deliverance. Information substituted revelation. Entertainment replaced worship. The church substituted Israel. The church is the church, Israel is Israel.

The Supernatural in the modern day church is causing concern in the church; people are worried about the Supernatural taking place in the church because of the existence of these Antichrists. How Do We Restore the Supernatural? Repent therefore and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, so that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord, and that He may send Jesus Christ, who was preached to you before, whom heaven must receive until the times of restoration of all things, which God has spoken by the mouth of all His holy prophets since the world began. Acts 3:19-21 We need to recognize that God is a Supernatural God and cry out for Him to restore the Supernatural in us. When combined with another word, the prefix re- means to return to the original state. Renew, reconcile and restore mean to go back to the original state. The church needs to return to its original state. We need to begin to see miracles as a normal thing. We need to see the restoration of the Supernatural. Steps to Restoring the Supernatural 1. Repent Go back to thinking the way God created you. He created you as a Supernaturalist. He created you to have dominion over this dimension, to heal the sick, to do miracles and wonders. If you recognize that you have certain substitutes in your life and you want more desire for the Supernatural, you need to repent.

2. Reestablish the Fear of God in your life If you dont fear Him, you do not want more of Him. If you fear Him, you want everything He has for you. The fact that you have not made changes in your life is a sign that you do not fear the Lord. Regardless of the price you need to pay, fear Him. 3. Restoration of the fivefold ministry We dont have problems with the pastor, teacher or evangelist, but we have problems with the apostles and the prophets. We need to receive them once again and welcome revelation into the church of Christ. 4. Be baptized in the Holy Spirit with the evidence of speaking new tongues. Pray this prayer of repentance and restoration: Lord, I repent of the substitutes. Forgive me. I have conformed to them. I renounce to the spirit of the Antichrist in my life, in my ministry and in my church. I want more of you! I want your power! Jesus, you are the Anointed One. I want more of your power! Lord, forgive me! I repent on this day. I dont care who my anointing offends; I want your Spirit in my life. Now, come over me! I want to manifest your kingdom on earth. I am activated! My dreams will become alive again. I will dream again! God wants to give you more! Stop analyzing and reasoning God! Tell Jesus you want Him and not the substitutes. Renounce to all of those Antichrists. Tell them to go NOW! What God has placed on the mantle of this ministry for the Supernatural, is released over you right now to break every substitute from your minds and spirits. You are activated! By faith, you have legal entry to the Supernatural. You are activated to see beyond the natural!

The Need of Fatherhood

Paternity is not an option but a necessity. If there is no paternity then the plans of God will not be fulfilled to its fullness. A Trigenerational God God is a tri-generational God. When God is going to do something with a family, He will always think of many generations. If this does not happen then it is because the plans of God died with the first generation. Dwell in this land, and I will be with you and bless you; for to you and your descendants I give all these lands, and I will perform the oath, which I swore to Abraham your father. And I will make your descendants multiply as the stars of heaven; I will give to your descendants all these lands; and in your seed all the nations of the earth shall be blessed; because Abraham obeyed My voice and kept My charge, My commandments, My statutes, and My laws. -Genesis 26:3-5 God is the Father of Abraham, of Isaac and of Jacob. Before leaving, Abraham gave what he had to Isaac. Isaac began from where his father finished. Isaac received an inheritance that Abraham paid for with sacrifice and obedience. God needed a second generation to continue with the purpose He had created.

Stop thinking of the need you have today, instead think of the future. If you do not transfer anything to your son then the devil will use that void to destroy all of your generation. Generational transference does not exist without paternity. Today, the church is being grazed and not governed. The essence of a pastoral ministry is to nurture the church. Today, the pastor needs to nurture and love but one cannot live alone off of this, discipline is needed. When a person is corrected their heart is exposed. A son will always receive discipline while a bastard will only have excuses for why the father or mother is wrong. The essence of an apostolic ministry is governing, bringing discipline and correction. Do you want your child to go through everything that you have had to overcome? Of course not! Transference and Revelation of Honor The connection between these three generations is the communication of Gods purpose and the law of impartation. You will see it with your own eyes and say, Great is the Lordeven beyond the borders of Israel! A son honors his father, and a slave his master. If I am a father, where is the honor due me? If I am a master, where is the respect due me? says the Lord Almighty. Malachi 1:5-6 The first thing that a son must know for transference to occur is the revelation of honor. Honor is granted. Never grant an inheritance to a rebel. For this reason, the church has two types of sons: the sons born in the house and the sons that are adopted. The sons born in the house receive and meet Christ in the church while the adopted sons are those who came from far and by faith take the anointing that I carry. Those born in the church function through association and can flow or do what I can do under one condition: honor me. God will never allow you to pull from a mantle that you dishonor. A danger for the sons born in the house is familiarity. What does familiarity mean? This is when a person takes lightly the anointing that their pastor has. The anointing is so close to the people that they cannot discern it. For example, in the home a father can be there for his family. He many not be the best man but is a good man that wants to apply the sermon from Sunday. You have him so close that you only see the bad. The spirit of a bastard is so strong that a characteristic is ingratitude. A bastard will never be content because he will always be ungrateful regardless of all the good you could have offered. The first generation fights the battle against the enemy. The second generation receives the inheritance. And the third generation fulfills the will of God. The enemy will always build walls to separate the generations. Consecrate yourself and your future

If you are a man and want to make the decision to make a pact with God to consecrate your three generations to God, then, you should be the first to pray. Repeat with me: Heavenly Father, I am your son, I give you thanks and I ask for forgiveness for being rebellious and not obeying You. Today, I stop being a bastard and become a son. I make a pact with my family to serve you and honor you all of my life. I receive all of the benefits in my Heavenly Father in the name of Jesus. The children of the children of my children will serve you! Amen!

Anointed with Purpose

What is anointing? The Spirit of the LORD is upon me, for he has anointed me to bring Good News to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim that captives will be released, that the blind will see, that the oppressed will be set free, and that the time of the LORDs favor has come. -Luke 4:18-19 The anointing of God is given to us to accomplish a purpose and a call. Every Christian has a specific anointing. But you are not like that, for the Holy One has given you his Spirit, and all of you know the truth. -1 John 2:20 We all have a specific anointing. When you find your calling, your anointing intensifies. What is purpose? The anointing is the power of God given to a Christian to accomplish or do their purpose on the earth. Another word for purpose is destiny. God knew before creating you what would be your destiny meaning it was predestined. The power of God is not to make a show. It is not to exalt yourself or ego but to bless other people. When you use the anointing for another purpose you are commercializing the anointing. Some people think they have been anointed but do not want to deal with people. You calling is connected to others. When God created every human being, he or she was created with an original intention. Your calling can only be fulfilled with the grace of God. Nothing God gives is possible through human strength. To fulfill this purpose you need the power of God. The aspect of power is called anointing. When you find your purpose, you find your anointing. Purpose is not discovered but revealed. If you want to see someone frustrated, put them to do something God did not call you to do. When you dont do your own purpose, someone will give you theirs. Leading that person to wind up in the wrong destiny.

You cannot fake your purpose because either you have the anointing or you do not. If you do not have a burden for souls or the people then you do not have a call. A person with a call is a person with a burden. Discovery vs. Revealed Doctors and scientists come to conclusions through discoveries with research and surveys; others just stumble into the solution. You can list all the things you like and relate them to a calling but this is only a diagnostic in a natural way. When someone who does not know you comes to you and prophesies over you with a calling it is a revelation in a supernatural way. Purpose must be revealed, it cannot be discovered. Purpose must be revealed to you and your spiritual father. Why your spiritual father? Because your calling is connected to your spiritual father, he is the one that releases you. God gives you purpose but he also places a spiritual father in your life to release you. Grow in God He must become greater and greater, and I must become less and less. -John 3:30 We must begin to grow to the point where there is more of God and less of us in order to accomplish the purpose He has placed in our lives. Important ingredients that contribute to growth are environment, atmosphere and climate. 98% of Christians have gone to their graves with their calling. They never found their purpose. Why? The greatest obstacle to carry out your purpose is yourself; your ego. One day when the crowds were being baptized, Jesus himself was baptized. As he was praying, the heavens opened, and the Holy Spirit, in bodily form, descended on him like a dove. And a voice from heaven said, You are my dearly loved Son, and you bring me great joy. -Luke 3:2122 Do not allow the enemy to contaminate your thoughts with discouragement. Make a decision to allow God to use you without any fear or disbelief. From today on begin to make history and accomplish your purpose on this earth!

How to Deal with Rebellion and Sedition

What is rebellion?

The word rebellion is avon in Hebrew, which means inequity; rebellion and all its consequences. One of the signs of the end times is the increase of inequity and rebellion. Rebellion is a public action that you can physically see be done. Everywhere you go you will see rebellion; in the church, outside of church, etc And because lawlessness will be increased, the love of many will grow cold. But the one who endures to the end will be saved. And this gospel of the kingdom will be proclaimed throughout the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come. Matthew 24:12-14 Lawlessness is another word for inequity. It means without law, someone who does not want to be governed and refuses to do so. What is sedition? The word sedition is defined as actions or words intended to lead or encourage the overthrow of a person, group or state. Sedition in the bible is classified as a criminal act that undermines the set authority placed by God and seeking to overthrow it. You will not see sedition publicly because it is subtle; it hides within the people that walk around the leader or the person placed by God. Everywhere you go God has set an authority figure or a head. If you speak ill about that authority that God has placed then you are rebelling against God. Origin of rebellion: In which in time past you walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now works in the children of disobedience. -Ephesians 2:2 1. Satan Rebellion began with Satan in the pre-adamic age, when he rebelled against God and took onethird of the angels. And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns on his heads. And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman who was ready to be delivered, to devour her child as soon as it was born. -Revelation 12:3-4 2. Adam and Eve Rebellion was carried down to each person after Adam and Eve received the spirit of rebellion in the beginning. Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity, and in sin did my mother conceive me. Psalm 51:5

Two natures Today, no one wants to be under authority because it is a part of our nature. There will be two men inside of you fighting to have control. One is called the old man and the other is the new man. The old man wants to do the old things and think the old way. For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, sold under sin. For that which I do I know not: for what I would, that do I not; but what I hate, that do I. Romans 7:14-15 On one side you want to do something but the other pushed you to do something else. 1. The Old Man If so be that you have heard him, and have been taught by him, as the truth is in Jesus: That you put off concerning the former way of life the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts. -Ephesians 4:21-22 Satan sent the serpent to the woman, Eve, as a way to get around the head, Adam, to get to the head. The old man is the result of the deception, corruption and the loss of Satan. The moment that Adam believed the lie and ate the forbidden fruit was the moment that the old man came to be. The old man is referred to as the flesh, the ego and the nature of sin. All of this becomes to be one word: rebellion. And I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your seed and her seed; he shall bruise your head, and you shall bruise his heel. Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply your sorrow and your conception; in sorrow you shall bring forth children; and your desire shall be to your husband, and he shall rule over you. -Genesis 3:15-16 2. New Man And be renewed in the spirit of your mind; and that you put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness. -Ephesians 4:23-24 The new man is the result of the truth, holiness and righteousness. Consequences of rebellion and sedition: Regardless of how good you have been, rebellion runs through you. For example, if you lived all your life on earth without committing any sin, you will still go to hell because in your nature is the seed of rebellion.

But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed. All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned everyone to his own way; and the LORD has laid on him the iniquity of us all. Isaiah 53:5-6 The essence of rebellion remains in the desire of a person who wants to govern his or her self. For that which I do I know not: for what I would, that do I not; but what I hate, that do I. Romans 7:15 Ask yourself, how much of Jesus do you have inside of you and how much of yourself? Steps to be set free: 1. Repentance The Kingdom of God without repentance is not the real kingdom. Many people are preaching the kingdom without repentance. Repent from ruling and governing yourself. Say: Lord, I was ruling and governing myself, doing what I wanted whenever I wanted. But right now, I stop and give you my life for You to rule and govern. 2. Authority Take authority whenever you see rebellion and cut it from the root! Kill your old man in order for Jesus to live in you! I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ lives in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me. Galatians 2:20 Principle of the Kingdom: In order to live you must die. Principle of Sacrifice: There is nothing new coming into life unless there has been a sacrifice. Many people expect to be given everything for free but in the Kingdom, you cannot go to a new dimension without first making a sacrifice. Die to yourself and allow Jesus to live in you!

An Experience with the Love of the Father

The Love of a Father is Dimensional

That Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and depth and height to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God. Ephesians 3:17-19 Love is dimensional, impossible to measure. You cannot measure a dimension. Scientifically, a dimension consists of 7 levels. It is humanly impossible to understand the dimensional love of God. And we have known and believed the love that God has for us. God is love; and he that dwells in love dwells in God, and God in him. 1 John 4:16 The Hebrew word gnosis means head knowledge. The Hebrew word epignosis means experimental knowledge. This love of the Father for us is so high, so deep, so wide, so long that we need epignosis (experience) exceeding all gnosis (head knowledge). You may not understand or explain it but if you have experience then the heart knows. You KNOW who loves him. Not sure how or why but she knows she loves him. Stop looking for so much love everywhere, He is the love of loves. His love fills you, you complete, is what no one else can give you, nor your husband, nor your wife nor your pastor, nor anyone can give you the kind of love that God can give.

How to Be a Witness with Fire and Power

Posted on 13 April 2011. Tags: boldness, confession, king, passion, Supernatural Power of God, witness

- By Apostle Guillermo Maldonado Being a Witness with Power and Fire But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth. Acts 1: 8 The fire of God releases passion. Someone without passion for prayer, miracles, evangelism, signs, wonders, praise or worship, does not have the fire of God. You can be admired for your discipline, but you can be contagious with your passion. Passion is like a virus it spreads. When people see that you are passionate for prayer, to pray for the sick and win souls, your kids will want to do it too.

Jesus said, I will go away, but you will be my witness with power. John said, The one who is coming after me will fill you with the Holy Ghost power and fire. When you catch fire, you will become a crazy person. You need to transfer your passion for souls, miracles, discipleship and to grow to others. In the natural, a witness is someone who provides an evidence in the form of testimony or photos. Evidence is something that proves or disproves something. The only way to bring the evidence in a court of law is through a witness. The judge cannot bring the evidence, nor can the lawyer. Being a witness is one of the pillars of justice. There are two kinds of evidence: (1) indirect when a witness sees and hears; and (2) direct where the witness experienced it firsthand. In the spiritual, a witness is translated to the word martyr, which means someone who is willing to die. When Jesus said He wanted us to be a witness, He was saying He wants us to testify with our own lives and to be willing to die for His sake. Jesus did not say to go out into the world and give tracks, but rather to be a witness. Your entire life is meant to be testimony for other people. If people want to look into your marriage, they should be able to say your marriage is still united because of Jesus Christ. In every area of your life, people need to know that the reason why you are succeeding is because of Jesus. As for us, we cannot help speaking about what we have seen and heard. Acts 4:20 You are Qualified to be a Witness The first qualification to being a witness is to have seen or heard something. You are a witness of Jesus Christ just by hearing and seeing what Jesus is doing in this ministry. If a witness does not testify, the court of law will charge you with perjury and put you in jail. The same is true in the spirit. How many times have we seen cancer disappear, people being healed and addicts delivered? Many people stop testifying because they are afraid of persecution. If you want to be His witness, you cannot stop speaking about what you have seen and heard. God is saying you have been quiet about what God has done and is doing in your family, your life and even with what has been done on the altar here in church; that is perjury in heaven. You qualify to be a witness of Jesus Christ. Maybe you did not come out of drugs or prostitution but what you have seen God do is enough to testify! And to the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write, These things says the Amen, the Faithful and True Witness, the Beginning of the creation of God Revelation 3:14 12Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, to which you were also called and have confessed the good confession in the presence of many witnesses. 13I urge you in the sight of God who gives life to all things, and before Christ Jesus who witnessed the good confession before Pontius Pilate, 1 Timothy 6:12-13

What is the good confession that was spoken before Pontius Pilate? 34Jesus answered him, Are you speaking for yourself about this, or did others tell you this concerning Me? 35Pilate answered, Am I a Jew? Your own nation and the chief priests have delivered You to me. What have You done? 36Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world. If My kingdom were of this world, My servants would fight, so that I should not be delivered to the Jews; but now My kingdom is not from here. 37Pilate therefore said to Him, Are You a king then? Jesus answered, You say rightly that I am a king. For this cause I was born, and for this cause I have come into the world, that I should bear witness to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth hears My voice. John 18:34-37 The literal Greek translation of Jesus answer in verse 37 reads, You bet I am! Jesus was going to be crucified and was taken before the court though He had done nothing wrong. He could have said, I did not do anything, but He had the boldness and the courage to stand before the king and hold onto His confession. Paul tells his spiritual son, Timothy, to hold onto the good confession as Jesus did. It is in the nature of a king to stand for the truth. He challenged them with His boldness by responding, You bet I am a king. What are you going to say when your co-workers challenge your faith? What are you going to say when they ask if you truly are child of God when you are facing troubles? Like Jesus, you need to say, You bet I am! You need to stand for your faith! There is so much peer pressure everywhere you go; you need to be bold! You are a witness of Jesus Christ; do not stay quiet! The Lord has called you to stand proudly everywhere you go and witness that you are a child of God! Pilate asked Jesus if He was a king because he saw Jesus by Himselfwithout angels or people around Himand He looked like a failure. They saw the Son of man beaten and disfigured. There are many people who look at you like you are a failure you are serving God and you dont even have a job. You need to look at your enemy and say, You bet I am a child of God! You have to keep fighting for your deliverance and your breakthrough. Jesus was not afraid to die before Pilate. Jesus was standing there, bleeding and alone. The devil tells you that you have made too many mistakes in your life, you are not going to go anywhere, your life is too much of a mess right now, are you really a child of God? You are praying for the sick and you are sick yourselfare you a child of God? Do not be afraid! Dont be afraid to lose your business or to face persecution. Do not be afraid of the attacks against your life! Fight back like a warrior! Stand up and tell the devil, You bet I am a child of God. I may look like a mess now, but you can bet that I am coming out of it! Your troubles are momentary; God is at work. You might look like a mess now, but the devil doesnt know that, six months later, you will have your victory!

Go back to your family and your business and stand for your faith. Be a witness. When the enemy challenges your faith because of your condition and questions your identity in God, stand boldly and shout, You bet I am a child of God! Shout in the face of depression! Shout in the face of your finances! Shout in the face of persecution! Every time you see a mountain, shout, You bet I am a child of God!
