Merry CHRISTmas

"Behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord."(Luke 2:10-11)
St. Nicholas should be an inspiration to us all. 

He was a godly man whose reputation for giving to people caused him to be a revered example of what compassion and giving are all about. He was not a jolly, fat man who climbed down chimneys and he didn't have flying reindeer! Stories of his life-a life full of Christian beliefs and values-are the real background for today's mythical Santa Claus. 

So much of what Nicholas was-and what Santa Claus has become-has been distorted by Satan. What has been done to weaken and distort the testimony of this godly man is wrong. Born in Turkey in the third century, Nicholas was raised by Christian parents. From the time he was born in A.D. 280, they considered him a gift from God. They diligently taught him devotion to God and to be very generous to the poor. At 19, Nicholas was ordained a priest. His uncle, a bishop, prophesied that Nicholas would offer guidance and consolation to many people, and that he would eventually become a bishop, and live a life of enlightenment. All of this was fulfilled in Nicholas' lifetime. Many accounts have been written of his dedicated life. It has been said that he would spend all night studying God's Word to bring it to the people. He was known for helping the poor, for praying, fasting and standing steadfast in faith and goodness. 

The true story of St. Nicholas is a beautiful picture of the giving that Christmas is all about. The greatest gift of all is the gift of Jesus Christ to us from God the Father. Jesus is our hope, redemption and victory. He is our advocate with the Father, our blood-covenant friend who will never leave us nor forsake us. In Him we have the joy of living a heavenly life on earth. 
He is the meaning of Christmas. Christ mass means "anointing celebration." 
It's the celebration of "How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power." It's the celebration of how the anointed Jesus "went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil" (Acts 10:38). It's the story of our triumphant Savior, Jesus the Christ, the Lord of lords and King of kings!

Now, that's a Merry Christmas!

How To Live In God's Economy 1


With news shouting at us every day what the state of the world economy is and that's besides what they are NOT telling us right now, the opportunity to get depressed, recessed, and fearful is more than enough. But God has not left us or abandoned us to the conditions of this world. He has made a way for us to live above it, in His economy, through His Word. This series is going to help us look at the Word of God and what it says about God's economy and how we can live it and receive it. Take time to meditate, think on, confess and apply these scriptures to your own life. Remember it is only as we renew our minds constantly to God's Word that we can begin to manifest and experience the good, acceptable and perfect will of God in our lives. So, take out your bible, notebook and pen and let's begin. Now, you can download or play direct as a podcast: See next post

The Pilgrims made seven times more graves than huts. No Americans have been more impoverished than these who, nevertheless, set aside a day of thanksgiving." ~ H.U. Westermayer To all our friends in the United States of America. Happy Thanksgiving! And God Bless America! We love you and pray for you and miss you all stacks!

Praying The Benefits Audio 8 Guidance In Life

The last in the series on "praying strategic prayers". I trust you have benefited, been inspired and encouraged to pray, and become a watchman to pray dynamic, effective prayers in this season. Prayer is so needed and so beneficial, but we have as the church just not prayed effectual prayers. Hopefully this series will assist you to become powerful in prayer, which will build sense of awareness of the Lord's presence in your life, and give Him a platform to do supernatural things in you, for you and through you.

Praying The Benefits Audio 7 He Satisfies


We are nearing the end of the prayer steps for strategic prayer.
We have covered:

  • Worship 
  • Thanksgiving
  • Reminding ourselves of the Covenant we have in Christ 
  • Asking the Lord for forgiveness 
  • Praying healing 
  • Praying deliverance 
  • Praying the Influence and favour of God 
  • and today Praying the provision of God. 


James says the effective fervent prayer of a righteous man avails (has much power in its working) much. This prayer strategy is to help you pray effective prayers that will change things in you and around you every day. We can talk about prayer but unless we pray we will not see the same results or effectiveness.

Praying The Benefits Audio 6

Praying The Covenant that is established for us through the blood of Jesus has far reaching benefits and that is what we are praying. I hope you are on this journey with me of praying the benefits and praying strategically.

As you study this next audio be aware of the loving Kindness of the Lord on your behalf, and His overflowing favour.

A MESSAGE OF HOPE FROM DR. JACK VAN IMPE

Who is the coming "world ruler"? What is his role in end-time prophecy? Will his appearance have any connection with the rebuilding of the Temple in Jerusalem?

In Revelation 13:1 the apostle John states, "And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy." The ten horns of John's vision correspond to the ten toes of Daniel's image in chapter 2 of the Book of Daniel. Let's investigate this account and see its importance in our discussion concerning the "coming world ruler." Nebuchadnezzar, the king of ancient Babylon, had a dream. However, he could not recall its content. Therefore, he called in his magicians, astrologers, and soothsayers, saying, not very politely, I might add, "Tell me what I dreamed, or I'll kill you." That certainly got their attention. However, they were stymied: They could not fulfill this bizarre request. However, Daniel, a young Jew and a man of prayer, fell on his knees three times a day before his God Jehovah and received the answer.

The secret which the king hath demanded cannot the wise men, the astrologers, the magicians, the soothsayers, shew unto the king; But there is a God in heaven that revealeth secrets, and maketh known to the king Nebuchadnezzar what shall be in the latter days. Thy dream, and the visions of thy head upon thy bed, are these . . . Thou, O king, sawest, and behold a great image. This great image, whose brightness was excellent, stood before thee; and the form thereof was terrible. This image's head was of fine gold, his breast and his arms of silver, his belly and his thighs of brass. His legs of iron, his feet part of iron and part of clay. Thou sawest till that a stone was cut out without hands, which smote the image upon his feet that were of iron and clay, and brake them to pieces. Then was the iron, the clay, the brass, the silver, and the gold, broken to pieces together, and became like the chaff of the summer threshingfloors; and the wind carried them away, that no place was found for them: and the stone that smote the image became a great mountain, and filled the whole earth. . . . Thou, O king, art a king of kings: for the God of heaven hath given thee a kingdom, power, and strength, and glory. . . . Thou art this head of gold. And after thee shall arise another kingdom inferior to thee, and another third kingdom of brass, which shall bear rule over all the earth. And the fourth kingdom shall be strong as iron: forasmuch as iron breaketh in pieces and subdueth all things: and as iron that breaketh all these, shall it break in pieces and bruise. And whereas thou sawest the feet and toes, part of potters' clay, and part of iron, the kingdom shall be divided; but there shall be in it of the strength of the iron, forasmuch as thou sawest the iron mixed with miry clay.
(Daniel 2:27-28, 31-35, 37-41) 

Those who scoff, ridicule, and slander the Word of God would be well advised to dust off their history books to discover the reliability of the Bible. In this passage we see that Daniel gave King Nebuchadnezzar an outline of world history down to the last days-events that have taken place precisely as God said they would. Daniel said, "You, King Nebuchadnezzar, are the head of gold (Babylon), but there will be two nations pictured by the arms of silver (the Medes and the Persians) who will destroy you. Then there will be a kingdom of brass (Greece), pictured by the stomach, which will destroy the Medes and the Persians. Next, the kingdom of iron (Rome), pictured by two legs, will smash Greece." Why two legs? Because at one time in history, the Roman Empire was divided, having headquarters both at Rome and Constantinople. Again, a historical fact.

Notice carefully that the only power not put out of existence is the Roman Empire. At the end time, the iron again manifests itself in the toes of the image. It is a deteriorated form mingled with clay, but still viable. 

Edward Gibbon's masterpiece The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire reminds us that Rome was never destroyed but rather lost its prominence because of degradation and sin.
This historical fact fits the clay of deterioration. Nonetheless, the Roman Empire will be revived in the last days through an alignment of ten Western nations, pictured by the ten toes of Daniel's image and the ten horns in the Book of Revelation. (See my book Final Mysteries Unsealed [Nashville: Word, 1998], 225 pages of verse-by-verse explanation of the Book of Daniel.) In verse 44 of chapter 2, Daniel says, "And in the days of these kings [the confederacy of ten Western nations] shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed; and the kingdom shall not be left to other people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand for ever." This refers to the return of Messiah, the Lord Jesus Christ, which we know is very near.

Consider Daniel 2:34 again: "Thou sawest till that a stone was cut out without hands, which smote the image upon his feet that were of iron and clay, and brake them to pieces." What, or better who, is the stone that smashes the image when the ten Western nations have aligned themselves? Acts 4:11: "[Christ] is the stone which was set at nought of you builders." First Corinthians 10:4: "And that Rock [or stone] was Christ." Since 1948, we have witnessed an amalgamation of Western nations in the form of the European Economic Community or "Common Market." The movement began with Belgium, Luxembourg, and the Netherlands joining in economic alliance. Then France, Italy, and West Germany joined in 1957. In 1972, three additional members-Denmark, England, and Ireland-were received. Then, on January 1, 1981, Greece became the ratified tenth member. However, Ireland and Denmark were never part of the old Roman Empire. What about them? The answer is simple. Daniel 7:8 states, "I considered the horns [at the end time], and, behold, there came up among them [the ten] another little horn [number 11!], before whom there were three of the first horns plucked up by the roots." Once a ten-nation Western confederacy has been formed, number eleven comes to power, plucks up three of the first ten, and replaces them with his own and two others. Later the majority of the globe is under his control. This leader will be the world dictator and infamous Antichrist-the final global ruler.

The organization of the European Economic Community is important because the first beast, or Antichrist of the Book of Revelation, comes out of such an alignment of Western nations. In Revelation 13:1, John says, "I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea." The sea speaks of nations, and the ten toes of Daniel's image and the ten horns of Revelation 13:1 describe a grouping of ten nations. Because this prophecy is now in the early stages of fulfillment, the stage is being set for a powerful world leader who works through this grouping of Western nations until he is able to assume worldwide prominence for his "greatness." We know that he will come from the West because Daniel 9:26 states that he is of the people that destroyed the city and the sanctuary. Who are these people?

As we have already seen, in A.D. 70, Titus, the Roman general from the Western nations of the old Roman Empire, entered Jerusalem, destroyed the Temple, and drove a million of God's people, the Jews, to every part of the earth. Now the prophet says that it is of this people that the Antichrist shall come. With this information in hand, it becomes clear this ruler will arise from the coming together of these Western nations. This appearance of the Antichrist then leads to another important question: the rebuilding of the Temple in Jerusalem-another major sign of Christ's return.

The Rebuilding of the Temple 
The Antichrist will come into prominence and power by signing a seven-year peace contract with Israel (Daniel 9:27). Three and a half years after its signing, he will proclaim himself to be God, the true Messiah, and will set himself up as the global ruler in a temple in Jerusalem. Study carefully 2 Thessalonians 2:4, "Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God." During our visit to the Holy Land, I stood by the Wailing Wall in Jerusalem, walked through an arch at the end of the wall, and looked into a great hole in the earth. I observed that there the Jews are attempting to find, as they approach areas of the Dome of the Rock, the Holy of Holies of the old Temple. (Some have indicated through news reports that the Holy of Holies has already been discovered.) They know that the Wailing Wall is part of the old Temple area, and they say, "As soon as we find the Holy of Holies, we will try to build." Chills ran down my spine when I heard them say this, because they were speaking ancient words of prophecy in the twentieth century!

An organization called "The Association for Progress in the Rebuilding of the Holy Temple" has four objectives: (1) to rebuild the Temple in Jerusalem, (2) to enlist scholars to research laws and traditions relating to Temple worship, (3) to set up a fund to receive contributions from Jews in all nations for rebuilding, and (4) to enlist architects, builders, and designers to draw up the plans. What is preventing them from accomplishing their task? According to the Jewish press, the status of the organization is holding back its work because the Israeli government does not want to incite further Arab hatred. Meanwhile, Israel continues to prepare for the rebuilding of the Temple in her own way. Excavations around the Wailing Wall have outlined the boundaries of the old Temple site.

An exciting parallel to the rebuilding of the Temple concerns the $14 million Jerusalem Great Synagogue, which was dedicated August 4, 1982. Built adjoining the "Hechal Schlomo" near the intersection of King George V and Ramban Streets in the new part of Jerusalem, the edifice is only about a mile west of the old Temple site. The synagogue is intended as a rallying point for world Jewry and as a house of prayer. (The Lord Jesus referred to the old Temple as "the house of prayer" in Matthew 21:13.) Interestingly, construction of the Jerusalem Great Synagogue took seven years, plus eleven months of delays, to complete. Students of the Bible will recall that King Solomon's original Temple also took seven years to construct-with an additional eleven-month delay! In addition, consider the facts that (1) a symbolic "half shekel" offering was received from Jews around the world to finance construction costs; (2) the number of $50,000 donors was limited to twelve as was the number of $25,000 donors. These figures equal the number of the tribes of Israel and, combined, equal the twenty-four elders seated around Christ's throne in Revelation 4:4; (3) the synagogue presidents are limited to seventy, the number of elders who once comprised the Sanhedrin. Although the Jews prefer to call this building a synagogue rather than a temple, one of the chief rabbis insists, "We must never believe that this is a substitute for the temple"-observers note that the Great Synagogue could serve well as the Tribulation Temple. The building contains a symbolic Ark of the Covenant (which the actual ark could replace if or when it is discovered in the old Temple excavation) and a bema seat. The Temple is constructed of the same Jerusalem limestone as Solomon's Temple. Although there is no sacrificial altar at present, one could easily be constructed and made ready to use. Continue to read your papers and watch the day-by-day unfolding of this greatest prophecy of all-the rebuilding of the Temple in Jerusalem-a major sign pointing to the return of the King of kings and Lord of lords who sits in His holy temple upon His arrival to earth in Ezekiel chapters 40-48.

Inspired Leadership Blueprint

For more information regarding the all new
               Inspired Leadership Blueprint program.  

Go to the LEADERSHIP INSPIRED page on this blog.

Over the past 30 or so years I have mentored many leaders and inspired them in creative innovations and to deal with the many facets of their lives.
 Michelle and I sensed ...
(To read more go to the LEADERSHIP INSPIRED page on this blog)

I sent out a survey with some pertinent questions a few moths back, and the outcomes were interesting but not surprising.

Top of the list was (drum roll please .....)
  Frustration!!!! 

 and next on the list ..... Would you believe? (No news here...)
  Finances. 

 After years of counselling many individuals and couples from all walks of life, and with varied situations they faced, and hosting and presenting workshops and talks on 3 continents and many discussions with leaders, and seeking the Lord in much prayer, and having to deal with many issues of my own, I have discovered and learnt and experienced a number of keys that can make all the difference to
avoid crises, 
build confidence to make transformational choices and decisions, 
and increase your Godly influence, 
and develop your Godly potential so that 
  FRUSTRATION becomes an emotion of the past. 

 When it comes to MONEY... 

Nelson Mandela said: "Money won't create success, the freedom to make it will."  

And freedom is not just a political environment but a leadership strategy to give you the keys to experience the personal freedom you need to focus and live on purpose.

Someone has said that "The purpose of life, is to live a life of purpose!" 

When you live a focused purposeful life as a leader, you begin to possess what the Father has made available to you through His Son, Jesus Christ and through what He did for us at the cross.
Jeremiah 29:10 (ISV) For I know the plans that I have for you,' declares the LORD, 'plans for well-being, and not for calamity, in order to give you a future and a hope. 
God's thoughts for us are to prosper us and give us a intended, expected future. Wow!

 But it seems so many do not experience this.
 I believe its because these KEYS have not been applied to their mission, life and purpose.

What keys?

The KEYS as laid out in Inspired Leaders Blueprint! Of course....

No, seriously! After what I have seen and heard and had to deal with, these KEYS kept me alive and focused to accomplish my calling and purpose.
Some who have just gone through these KEYS with me have experienced breakthroughs and breakouts and transformations, taking them from a crisis to a new sense of purpose and victory and wholeness for their lives and leadership.

 Have a look on the LEADERSHIP INSPIRED page on this blog.
And see if its time for you to journey and become an inspired and inspirational leader.

Trust Believe Faith



Hi
Welcome to another series of teaching of God's word.

In this series I am stirring up to fresh thinking to prompt you to look at some aspects of walking in the spirit and walking in victory and walking with the Lord.

We are in times and seasons that requires some fundamentals to be sharpened so we walk alert, prepared and self disciplined.
In Trust Believe Faith we are looking at aspects that really are different facets that are the same thing, but by distinguishing them we can understand how to apply them to our walk in the Lord.

Don't just think "I know that already!"
Let them be brought to your remembrance, to be refreshed, renewed and refocused.
