"Holy" Spirit.

"Holy" Spirit.
- Pastor Ashish Mathews

I Corinthians 6:19
Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who  is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own?

Your body is the temple of God. The Holy Spirit dwells in you. He is the Holy Spirit. Notice the word 'Holy'. This tells us about one of the main aspect of the character and nature of the Holy Spirit.

He is not the Unholy Spirit. He will never say anything or do anything that's impure and dirty. He is not an unholy, unclean, impure and evil Spirit, He is the Holy Spirit. Because He is the Holy Spirit, whatever He says and everything He does is holy and pure. Glory to God. The word holy also means 'consecrated', which means separate - separate from the world, separate from sin and dedicated to God. He is not the common spirit. He is the Holy Spirit. There is no commonality between Him and the world. Holiness and purity are His characteristics. At the new birth, when the Holy Spirit joined himself to your spirit, you became holy. The presence of the Holy Spirit makes you as holy and as pure as Jesus Himself. Hallelujah!

Friend, the Holy Spirit empowers you to live a holy life because you are a holy person. When you live in holiness, you allow the Holy Spirit to work in you, through you and for you and He causes everything you do to prosper just like He blessed everything that Joseph did and increased Him greatly. When you live a worldly life, which is an unholy life, you grieve the Holy Spirit and hinder His work. Without the Holy Spirit, life is dry and stagnant, because its not by might nor by power but only by the Holy Spirit of God. Live holy!

Forgive for Christ's sake!

Forgive for Christ's sake!
- Pastor Ashish Mathews

Ephesians 4:32
And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you.

Christ in you, the hope of glory! The most important person for you is the Holy Spirit and He dwells in you. The most important thing for you is the anointing of God and it abides in you. The Holy Spirit and His anointing in you is what makes you different from the rest of the world.

Believer, what you have in you is priceless and precious. You carry God's power in you. For the Spirit of God and His power to work in you, through you and for you - walking in love is a must. Unforgiveness hinders the work of the Holy Spirit. Not walking in love blocks the anointing, the power of God. Without love, faith won't work and without faith, there is no power connection. Treasure the anointing in you. Protect the anointing in you. Cherish the anointing in you. Irrespective of what people said or did against you, forgive for the sake of the anointing in you.

Friend, the anointing is priceless. You can't afford to stay in unforgiveness. Choose to forgive. Choose to walk in love. Let the Holy Spirit and His anointing become more important to you than what people think or say against you. The time is short, Jesus is coming back, always forgive, always walk in love and let the anointing flow through you and change the world. This is your time.

*"The anointing in me is precious. I live above offence. I refuse to be offended. I forgive. The anointing is flowing freely through me taking me higher in life and setting people free. Hallelujah."*

Worldly friendship!

Worldly friendship!
- Pastor Ashish Mathews

I John 2:15
Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him.

Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Whoever therefore wants to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God. This is serious in the eyes of God and therefore we must be very serious about it. 

'World' doesn't refer to people rather it refers to the ungodly and wicked worldly system, with it's laws, principles, values and beliefs that are totally contrary to God's word - God opposing ways, thoughts, words and actions. A believer cannot befriend this worldly system, we love people but we operate by the principles and laws of heaven. We are born again, born from above and therefore we live by the heavenly system. The world has a way of doing things and heaven has a way of doing things. Both are in opposition to each other. Both are contrary to each other. Both are in fight with each other. The world and it's system is passing away but one who operates by the word of God, which is the constitution of the kingdom of God, abides forever. Every principle of this worldly system is lust based, selfishness based and pride based. I John 2:16,17 says, For all that is in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—is not of the Father but is of the world. And the world is passing away, and the lust of it; but he who does the will of God abides forever. There is nothing good in the worldly system. It's self destructive and it's foolish because it has no honour for God.

Friend, refuse to be God's enemy by living and operating by the standards and principles of the world. Satan is the god, the prince of this worldly system and every thing He introduces, says and ordains is a complete lie because He is a liar and a father of all lies. Choose the word life!

"The word of God is my standard for life. I live by the principles and laws of the word of God. I refuse to accept anything that's against the word of the living God irrespective of who says it or how many say it. The word of God is my life. The word of God is my standard. The word of God is final for me. Glory!"

Thank You, Lord Jesus!

Thank You, Lord Jesus!
- Pastor Ashish Mathews

Ephesians 5:20
giving thanks always for all things to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ,

One of the keys of living a Spirit filled life is giving thanks always for all things to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. Notice the words 'always' and 'for all things'. Thank the Father always and thank the Father for all things in the name of Jesus.

The Holy Spirit through this verse wants us to maintain a lifestyle of thanksgiving. The Holy Spirit living in you and you living in the fullness of the Holy Spirit are two different things. A lifestyle of thanksgiving enables you to walk in the fullness of the Holy Spirit. Grumbling, complaining, arguing, competing and fussing hinders you from walking in the fullness of the Holy Spirit. Holy Spirit cannot manifest himself through a complaining and grumbling person, but its easy for the Spirit of God to manifest himself through a grateful person. Gratitude attracts the attention of heaven. A grateful attitude positions you to receive more from the Father. A grateful attitude causes multiplication of your  resources. Be ever grateful to the Father and always thank Him for all things in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Friend, gratitude is a response to what the Father has done for you in Jesus Christ and is doing for you now through the Holy Spirit. Gratitude is a decision, you decide to thank Him whether you feel like thanking Him or not, whether things are going good for you or not. Choose to thank Him because all things work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to His purpose. You can never be disadvantaged in Christ. Thank You, Lord Jesus!

“I am a grateful person filled with gratitude for who Jesus is and for what He has done for me. I never complain, murmur, grumble or accuse. I choose to give thanks now and always! Thank you Lord Jesus!”

Days of heaven on earth!

Days of heaven on earth!

1 Peter 5.7
Throw all your anxieties upon him, because he cares about you.

Stop worrying! Give all your worries and cares to Jesus, simply because He loves you and cares about you. If you keep it, He can't help you but if you give it to Him, He can do something about it.

Stress is a killer and it will destroy your life, your relationships, your health, your finances and your future. You can't afford to be stressed. No wonder Jesus said so many times, 'Don't worry.' Stress and worry is common in the world, but we don't belong to the world, though we are in it, we are not of it. Give all your concerns, all your worries and all your anxieties to Jesus. A child of God must never worry because worrying is the lifestyle of the unbelievers, who are without God. Worry is fear based and fear dependent. Worry and anxiety comes out of fear. When you are afraid, you worry. Without fear, there is no anxiety. II Timothy 1:7 says, 'For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.' Satan is the spirit of fear, resist Him in the name of Jesus and refuse to accept Him and His forces. Philippians 4:6‭-‬7 says, 'Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.' Worry blocks the peace of God. If you give all your worries to Jesus, then the peace of God will protect your heart and mind in Christ Jesus. His peace, His all surpassing peace will be your guard. Hallelujah!

Friend, know that God loves you and is for you. If God is for you, who can be against you? I John 4:18 says, 'There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves torment. But he who fears has not been made perfect in love.' Grow in the revelation of God's love for you. As you grow in the love of God, you will live a worry free and fear free life, enjoying days of heaven on earth. Instead of being anxious and worried, begin to spend time in the word, pray and offer thanks to your Caretaker because with Jesus on your side, all is well! Jesus is Lord!

"Satan, I resist you in the name of Jesus. Fear, I resist you in the name of Jesus. I refuse to worry. Jesus is my caretaker, He loves me and He cares for me. I am carefree forever!"

Your real enemy!

Your real enemy!
- Pastor Ashish Mathews

Ephesians 6:12
For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.

Whom are you wrestling? Who's your real enemy? Whom are you fighting? It's important to know who the real enemy is. This verse says, we do not fight against flesh and blood, meaning humans but our real enemy is Satan and His forces.

People are not your enemies. No human is our enemy. Some may speak against you, some may work against you, but if you know who the real enemy is, you can deal wisely and in peace, walking in love towards other people, towards flesh and blood. Ephesians 2. 2 says, 'in which you once walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit who now works in the sons of disobedience.' Satan works in unbelievers and influences them to act and speak against God and His people. 2 Corinthians 4.4 says, 'whose minds the god of this age has blinded, who do not believe, lest the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine on them.' Satan has blinded the minds of unbelievers, this is the reason they are so offensive towards the gospel. Satan and His forces are your enemy, not people. When Jesus was on the cross, He said, “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they do.” Love people, forgive people, bless people, help people. Pray for people. Satan is your enemy!

Friend, Jesus has completely defeated Satan and His forces by His death, burial and resurrection. Satan and His forces have no authority over those who are in Christ. We don't have to defeat Satan because He is already defeated. You are victorious in Christ! The fight is to maintain the victory which you have obtained in Christ. The fight is to deliver unbelievers from the clutches of Satan. The fight is to take over territory from the kingdom of darkness because all of it belongs to us. The name of Jesus is our victory key. Let's use the name of Jesus by faith and take authority over demonic forces! Love people! Rebuke and resist Satan, your real enemy. Live victoriously!

Access regained!

Access regained!
- Pastor Ashish Mathews

Ephesians 2:18
And because of Christ, all of us can come to the Father by the same Spirit.

God the Father longs to have fellowship with you. Fellowship is the reason for creation, for redemption, for the first and the second coming of Jesus Christ. God created you for fellowship. He wants to walk with you, work with you, talk to you and help you in every thing you do.

Fellowship is God's greatest joy. God and Adam had wonderful times of fellowship. When Adam disobeyed God, his access to God was destroyed. Adam lost his nature, lost his position and therefore lost his access to God. Humanity cannot walk with God, cannot talk with God and cannot live with God. But God's heart was not satisfied and He made the biggest sacrifice to give humanity this access back. In the fullness of time, God sent Jesus to pay for the sins of humanity by shedding his blood on the cross and by his death, burial and resurrection give eternal life - the life and nature of God to everyone who believes. Believer, because of what Jesus has done, your sins are forgiven and you have the life and nature of God in you. In Christ, God accepts and approves you. You have the mighty Holy Spirit dwelling in you. This simply means that your access to the Father has been regained. You have 24×7 access to your Father. Infact, He lives in you through the Holy Spirit. God lives in you! God speaks to you! God wants to have a personal relationship with you! Think about these statements. The world doesn't understand and comprehend these things but we, as believes are so blessed to experience and enjoy this marvellous access to our heavenly Father. Thank you Lord Jesus! Take advantage of this access and begin to have fellowship with the Father and you will dominate in every sphere of your life because fellowship results in dominion.

Friend, we have something that the prophets, kings and priests of old longed for and were desperate for but didn't get it. We have access to our heavenly Father all the time and any time. Jesus opened the door for you and the Holy Spirit in you gives you this access and makes it real. You don't need any special appointments or approvals for your access. Christ is your approval and your acceptance, come boldly and enjoy your fellowship with your heavenly Father. Dominate!

For God's glory!

For God's glory!
- Pastor Ashish Mathews

1 Corinthians 10:31
So whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God.

The moment you received Jesus as your Lord and Saviour, you became a child of God. Jesus has given you the same glory that the Father gave him. You have put on Christ and Christ is in you and you are in Christ!

This verse commands us to honour God in everything we do, to do everything for God's glory. That means do nothing that brings disgrace to God. Stay away from activities that dishonour God. Before you do anything, ask "Does it bring glory to my Father God?" Do my words bring God glory? Do my actions bring God glory? Does my behavior bring God glory? Anyone who sees and hears a believer, sees and hears Christ, just like anyone who heard and saw Jesus heard and saw the Father. It's a huge responsibility and an awesome privilege. You do all things for the glory of your Father God because you are His beloved child. Matthew 5:16 says, Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven. When you do all things for God's glory, you are demonstrating the love, the grace, the mercy, the wisdom and the power of Jesus to this world. Don't live for your glory, live for God's glory. You carry God's name and so whatever you do and say, will either bring honour or cause disgrace to His name. Be wise and live for His glory!

Friend, always seek to bring Him glory. Withdraw from people who have no reverence for the things of God because they have no future. Connect yourself with people who deeply honour God and reverence spiritual things. Esteem the Lord highly. Give Him great honour. Respect the Lord wherever you are and in whatever you are doing. You are God's glory in Christ. Therefore talk wisely, behave wisely and live wisely. You are going up!

The voice of the Holy Spirit!

The voice of the Holy Spirit!
- Pastor Ashish Mathews

Romans 8:16
The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God’s children.

The Holy Spirit has a voice. The Holy Spirit is speaking to every believer on this planet because Jesus said, my sheep hear my voice. Our God speaks to us. Glory!

The most important thing for a sheep is the Shepherd's voice. In His voice, is your provision, prosperity and protection. His voice is your life. His voice is your victory. This verse gives us a key that will help us easily recognize the voice of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit speaks to your spirit. Many people are trying to hear the Holy Spirit in their minds and with their five senses. This is the reason they struggle so much when it comes to hearing God's voice. Listen, He speaks to your spirit. Develop your spirit, build a strong spirit. The stronger your spirit, the easier it is to recognize the voice of the Holy Spirit because He speaks to your spirit. Physical training has some value, but spiritual training has value for all things. The word of God is spirit food. Feed on the word of God and let your spirit be developed. Be consistent - see the word, hear the word, meditate on the word, speak the word and do the word. Speak much in tongues because he who speaks in tongues edifies himself or builds himself up. Submerge yourself in the word, give yourself to speaking in tongues and if you are consistent, your spirit will develop and hearing, recognizing and following the voice of the Holy Spirit will be the easiest thing for you. In His voice is sweatless victories! His voice guarantees success!

Friend, His voice is in His word. His voice is always in line with His word. He will never say anything against His word. The Bible and the Holy Spirit always agree. If you hear anything that's against the word, it's not the Holy Spirit. There are many voices in this world and the word of God will help you discern these voices.  Develop your spirit! Feed on the word! Speak much in other tongues! The Holy Spirit will take you to the very summit of influence and prosperity and your life will be a blessing for many. Allow the Helper to help you! Listen! Obey! This is your time!  Go on with Jesus!

The Book of Life!

The Book of Life!
- Pastor Ashish Mathews

Revelation 20:15
And anyone not found written in the Book of Life was cast into the lake of fire.

God has books. One of those books is called the Book of Life, also known as the Lamb's book of life. It's the book of eternal life.

The word of God says, anyone whose name was not found written in the Book of Life was thrown into the lake of fire. How can a person have his or her name in the book of life? What should a person do? You can only have your name in the Book of Eternal Life if you have eternal life, which is the life and the nature of God. John 3.16 says, For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. If you have believed in Jesus and have received His finished works, you have received eternal life into your spirit. Right this moment, you possess eternal life! 1 John 5:11‭-‬12 says, And this is the testimony: God has given us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have the Son of God does not have life. Whoever has not received Jesus as their Lord and Saviour has not received eternal life and since they have not received eternal life, their names are not written in the Book of Life and therefore they will be thrown into the lake of fire. It's only in Jesus, that our sins are forgiven and we receive eternal life. He who rejects Christ, rejects the forgiveness of sins and rejects eternal life and therefore his unforgiven sins and His wicked nature will take him to the lake of fire. This is extremely serious!

Friend, rejoice that your names are written in the Book of Life and at the same time pray for your near, dear and loved ones so that they too will receive in Jesus the forgiveness of sins and eternal life. The lake of fire is a horrible place to be, a place of unending suffering and eternal torment. Intercede! As we pray and intercede, let's ask the Lord of the harvest to release labourers into His harvest field so that the eyes of the unbelievers will be opened and they will know and believe the truth and escape the fires of hell. Enjoy the life of God! Manifest the life of God! Win souls! Go on with Jesus!

True & Proper Worship!

True & Proper Worship!
- Pastor Ashish Mathews

Romans 12:1
Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship.

Let me ask you, when you hear the word worship, what comes to your mind? Is it something that happens every Sunday? Is it clapping, dancing or singing? What is true and prosper worship?

This verse gives us a powerful aspect of worship. True and proper worship is to offer your body as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God. Unless you give your body to the Lord, anything else you do - be it clapping, dancing, shouting and giving - will not benefit you. Believer, your body is not yours, your body belongs to the Lord for He has purchased it with His own blood. Be conscious, you live in a body that doesn't belong to you. Therefore be all the more eager to present it to God in way that is holy and well pleasing to Him. Your body is the temple of God because the Holy Spirit dwells in you. Consecrate and dedicate every member and faculty of your body to the Lord. Give your body to the Lord - that's the biggest offering. Say, " The body I live in doesn't belong to me, doesn't belong to sin, doesn't belong to the world. It belongs to Jesus for He has purchased my body with His own blood. Therefore I offer my body to Him by living a holy life and a life that is well pleasing to Him. This is my true and proper worship". Worship is a lifestyle, you live in worship and therefore you offer your bodies to the Lord every moment and every day of your life as long as you live.

Friend, as you give your body to the Lord, He will work wonders through you. Become a vessel of gold in hands of the Master, useful for Him and prepared for every good work by offering your bodies to the Lord. This is the greatest act of worship. This is the greatest act of service. All throughout the Bible, you will see the heroes of faith offering their bodies to God in private and in public and God used them to shake nations and to change the course of history. Won't you enroll yourself in the army of the Lord and offer your bodies to Jesus, your Commander in Chief so He can use you to shake the nations of the world? Go on with Jesus! Nothing else matters!

Choose the giving way!

Choose the giving way!
- Pastor Ashish Mathews

Matthew 14:19‭-‬20
Then He commanded the multitudes to sit down on the grass. And He took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to heaven, He blessed and broke and gave the loaves to the disciples; and the disciples gave to the multitudes. So they all ate and were filled, and they took up twelve baskets full of the fragments that remained.

Let's analyse the situation so we can learn and apply these principles in our lives and experience the same results as Jesus and His disciples experienced. What a life we have in Christ! Glory!

Around fifteen thousand people, including men, women and children had come to Jesus for hearing the word. It was getting late in the evening and they were in a desert place. The people were hungry and there was no provision. All they had was a young boy's lunch - five loaves and two fishes. But can five loaves and two fishes feed fifteen thousand people? Have you ever faced a need so big that you didn't have the resources to meet it? Are you facing a similar situation right now where you need resources for fifteen thousand people and all you have is five loaves and two fishes? Be encouraged! Jesus is the same yesterday, today and forever. Let me tell you, the five loaves and two fishes didn't come from heaven, it didn't come from Jesus,  it came from the crowd. Your breakthrough is in something you already have! The young lad gave his lunch to Jesus and Jesus received it, looked to heaven because God is our Source, blessed it and released the anointing of increase on it, broke it and gave it to his disciples and the disciples fed the people with twelve baskets remaining. Can you see this? In a remote desert place, five loaves and two fishes satisfied the need of fifteen thousand people with twelve baskets remaining. Hallelujah. What you have is your seed! Your seed is powerful! Give it to Jesus! Sow it in His work and let it be multiplied for you!

Friend, If you know these principles and apply them, you don't have to look to people or banks for your needs. God is your Source and Sustainer. Like the young boy, give what you have into anointed, word based and Spirit led ministries and you will not only have your needs met but you will always be walking in the overflow zone having more than enough! This is the kingdom way! Instead of looking at yourself and others, look to God and apply His principles. Choose the giving way!

The Spirit of truth!

The Spirit of truth!
- Pastor Ashish Mathews

John 16:13
When He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you things to come.

Notice, what Jesus calls the Holy Spirit. He referred to the Holy Spirit as the Spirit of truth. In other words, He is the Spirit of reality.

The Holy Spirit is the one who makes the things of God real to us. It's impossible to live the Christ life without the Holy Spirit. Without the Holy Spirit, its just another dead religion with senseless traditions, tiring repetitions and worthless rituals. With Him, Jesus becomes real, heaven becomes real, Bible reading becomes real, prayer become real, worship becomes real, witnessing becomes real and living the Christ life becomes real and a great joy. The Holy Spirit is here to help you live and walk the Christ life effectively. He is your Helper! After salvation, the most important thing for a believer is the fellowship of the Holy Spirit. Notice in todays verse, Jesus said that the Holy Spirit will guide you into all realities. If you seek and follow His guide, the Holy Spirit will not only unveil the things of God and make it real to you but He will also take you to the depths of those realities so that you can be established. The deeper and stronger your foundation in these word realities, the higher and stronger your life and ministry. Glory!

Friend, is the Christ life real to you? Are you enjoying the life of faith? Your Bible reading, prayer, worship -  Is it real to you or are you just doing it for the sake of doing it? Has the Christ life become a mere religion or one of the religions  to you? Christianity is not a religion, its God living in you. Believer, ask the Holy Spirit to help you and guide you into the kingdom realities. There is no greater and higher life than the Christ life. There is no greater and higher walk than the Christ walk. Fellowship with the Holy Spirit and He will take you deep in the ocean of those realities and you will never be the same!

Divine energy!

Divine energy!
- Pastor Ashish Mathews

Colossians 1:29
I work hard and struggle for this goal with his energy, which works in me powerfully.

When you read the New Testament, you become aware of the life and the ministry of the Apostle Paul. His impact was impeccable and His work still speaks today. He said, 'With God's grace, I worked harder than any of the other apostles.'

While speaking to the Colossian church, the Apostle Paul by the Holy Spirit gives us the key that helped Him do what others couldn't do. Christ, the Source of divine energy lives in you. The reason Apostle Paul could do what He did, is because He tapped into the divine energy that God gave Him. This divine energy didn't come from heaven, it came from within Him because the Source of divine energy, the Holy Spirit lived in Him. Because you are in Christ, the same mighty Holy Spirit lives in you and therefore you have in you the Source of divine energy. Activate this energy by speaking much in other tongues. The Apostle Paul said in I Corinthians 14.18, I thank God I speak with tongues more than you all. No wonder, He walked and lived in this superhuman energy. When you speak in tongues, your spirit is edified or charged, you receive divine energy and that divine energy is released into your body and your soul. This divine energy is also called super human energy and it causes you to do what human energy can't do and more than what human energy can do. Glory to God! You have an inexhaustible supply of divine energy in you. Thank God for the Holy Ghost! Walk with the Holy Spirit and you will experience divine energy like never before. What a life we have in Christ!

Friend, the calling of God can only be fulfilled by the divine energy of God. Activate and utilize this energy so that you can do all that God has planned for you to do. You will never lack energy because you are full of energy by the Holy Spirit in you. Speak much in other tongues! Let these facts be established in your mind and in your speech. "Holy Spirit, the Source of divine energy lives and dwells in me and therefore I am full of energy."

God's guarantee!

God's guarantee!
- Pastor Ashish Mathews

Ephesians 1:14
The Spirit is God’s guarantee that he will give us the inheritance he promised and that he has purchased us to be his own people. He did this so we would praise and glorify him.

The day you received Jesus into your heart, you were sealed, stamped and marked with the Holy Spirit, your spirit became one with the Holy Spirit. This verse tells us, the Holy Spirit in you is God's guarantee that you will receive everything else that God has promised. Hallelujah!

The Holy Spirit is the downpayment and the pledge of our inheritance. He is the deposit guaranteeing our inheritance. He is the assurance of our salvation and redemption. Romans 8.16 says, The Holy Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God. He is the assurance and the proof that we are children of the Most High God. Romans 8:9 says, ...Now if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he is not His. Without the Holy Spirit, there is no assurance, no witness and no guarantee that you are saved or that you will get everything that God has in store for you. Since we have the Holy Spirit of God, we enjoy life knowing that we are children of the Most High God and that we will see the manifestation of everything that God has promised us. Glory to God! When the rapture happens, the Holy Spirit is the guarantee that you will be raptured. The Holy Spirit in you is the guarantee that you will have a glorified body and that you will be with Jesus for eternity. The world doesn't have this assurance, they are confused and troubled. But bless God, we have the guarantee in us, God's guarantee, the Mighty Holy Spirit. The world is walking in the dark, hoping and wishing that something will happen, this or that will happen or anything might happen. But we don't hope and wish, we know because we have God's guarantee, the Mighty Holy Spirit.

Friend, know who you have received and what you have received in Christ. These are precious eternal truths and once established in your consciousness will elevate your thinking, speaking and living to a higher and greater level. The Holy Spirit lives in you and He is the guarantee that you are saved, sanctified, righteous, heavenly and that you have eternal life. Face life triumphantly! Christ in you, the hope of glory! Christ, your righteousness, your wisdom, your sanctification and your redemption. What a life in Christ!

Love obeys!

Love obeys!
- Pastor Ashish Mathews

John 14:31
But that the world may know that I love the Father, and as the Father gave Me commandment, so I do. Arise, let us go from here.

Jesus loved the Father and therefore He obeyed Him every moment of His life. His obedience was the key to His extraordinary success, His undeniable impact and His outstanding personality which distinguished Him from the world.

Jesus wanted the entire world to know, by His obedience, that He loves His Father. He taught us, love is incomplete without obedience. His obedience to the Father proved His love for the Father. Just like Jesus obeyed His Father, we are to obey Jesus, the head of the church. Your love for Jesus can only be expressed and shown by your obedience to His commandments. Jesus said in John 14:15, 'If you love Me, you will keep My commandments.' He said in John 14:24, 'He who does not love Me does not keep My words; and the word which you hear is not Mine but the Father’s who sent Me.' Your obedience is a response to the Lord's love for you. We love because the Lord first loved us. Your obedience is an expression of your faith in Jesus Christ and your love for Him. Jesus said in John 15:10, 'If you keep My commandments, you will abide in My love, just as I have kept My Father’s commandments and abide in His love.' Jesus abided in His Father's love by obeying the word of His Father and therefore the enemey couldn't touch him. Similarly, we abide in the love of Jesus by keeping the commandments of Jesus. I Corinthians 7:19 says, Circumcision is nothing and uncircumcision is nothing, but keeping the commandments of God is what matters. I John 3:23 says, And this is His commandment: that we should believe on the name of His Son Jesus Christ and love one another, as He gave us commandment. We do what His word and His Spirit says, because we are doers of the word and we are led by His Spirit. Obedience pleases the Lord!

Friend, Jesus is our standard and our greatest example in life, therefore we look to Him and consider Him in every arena of life and every step of the way. His life teaches us, His words feed us and His presence makes all the difference in our lives. His life teaches us the need and the power of obedience. Keep your eyes on Jesus and let His life, His word and His Spirit lead you to the greatest days of your life. Follow your Shepherd and the best is yet to come. Love Obeys!

You are sealed!

You are sealed!
- Pastor Ashish Mathews

Ephesians 1:13
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,

The day you heard the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ, the word of truth and received it, something actually happened, something marvellous and beautiful. The moment you accepted Christ, God marked, stamped and sealed you with the Holy Spirit. I Corinthians 6:17 says, 'But he who is joined to the Lord is one spirit with  Him.' The Holy Spirit has joined Himself to your spirit. You have become one with Him.

Isn't it amazing to know that you are a marked person? You are marked as Gods own possession. Glory to God! You are sealed with the Holy Spirit. You are separate from the world because you are a marked person and therefore you have authority over the factors that causes the world to stumble. Marked for divine protection, favour and promotion. Marked as justified, redeemed and sanctified. Marked for heaven. See yourself as God sees you. I Peter 2:9 says, But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light. You are special just because you have been stamped with the Holy Spirit. A marked person has special privileges. Do you know Satan cannot touch you, sicknesses cannot come near your dwelling and that you are redeemed from destruction, simply because you are marked! Heaven has it's eye on you and the angels of God surround you. Do you know that you are marked? Speak out these realities! Don't stop talking. "I am marked with the Holy Spirit. Glory to God! I am a marked person." When you hear about destruction, sickness and other negative things happening in the world, shout, "I am marked."

Friend, you are so powerful in Christ. The day these realities become established in your consciousness, you will experience the abundant life that Jesus has for you. Mediate on these scriptures and let it overtake your consciousness. Always be conscious that you are marked and sealed with the Holy Spirit. You are a world overcomer because Greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world. The Greater One lives in you. Live a marked life!

“The Greater One lives in me and therefore I am a marked person. Favour is mine. Prosperity is mine. Shalom is mine. Supernatural protection is mine. Jesus loves me and I have His mark on me. Hallelujah. ”

Are you stressed? Believe!

Are you stressed? Believe!
- Pastor Ashish Mathews

John 14:1
Jesus said, "Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me."

Are you disturbed? Are you troubled? Are you worried and upset? Look at this verse, Jesus said, "Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me."

Jesus said, let not your heart be troubled. This means it's your choice. Proverbs 4. 23 says, 'Guard your heart with all diligence, For out of it spring the issues of life.' Guarding your heart is your responsibility. Be careful what you believe and receive into your heart. Whatever you choose to believe and receive, will determine how you respond and react, how you speak, behave and how you lead your life. If your heart is troubled, worried, upset and disturbed then the question is, what are you believing? Why are you not believing what the word of God says? This is why Jesus said, Believe in me and you won't be disturbed or troubled. Believe Gods word. Believe Gods love for you. Faith in Gods word and Gods love will bring rest to your souls and health to your bones. You won't be troubled when you trust Jesus and hold on to His word. You might be in the worst place on earth and still experience the peace of God by simply trusting Jesus. It is impossible for those who cling on to Gods word, rely on His love and follow Jesus, to ever stay disturbed, troubled or upset. The faith way is the stress free way. Romans 10.17 says, Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of Christ. So, keep hearing the word of God consistently and let the word of God dwell in you richly. Mediate on the word day and night and you won't be stressed another moment in your life. Speak the word of God consistently and let it be established as the only language you know.

Friend, being troubled, stressed and upset is an indication that your faith is in the wrong person or the wrong thing. Jesus said, Believe in me and you won't be troubled. Heaven and earth will pass way, but the word of God will never pass away. Refuse to hear anything that's against the word. Refuse to meditate on anything that's against the word. Refuse to speak anything that's against the word. Guard your heart and fix it on Jesus and His word. Be at peace, at rest and in the joy of the Holy Spirit. This is your time! Jesus is Lord!

Serve!

Serve!
- Pastor Ashish Mathews

John 13:5
After that, Jesus poured water into a basin and began to wash the disciples’ feet, and to wipe them with the towel with which He was girded.

What an example Jesus has set for us! Think about this, take some time and meditate on this; Jesus, the Son of God washed the feet of His disciples. Life is incomplete and dry without service.

Generally, servants used to wash the feet of people. Jesus took the place of a servant and performed the work of a servant. Jesus said in Matthew 23:11, But he who is greatest among you shall be your servant. The world sees those who are being served as the greatest but the Lord sees the one who serves as the greatest. Jesus said in John 13. 14-15, "If I then, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another’s feet.  For I have given you an example, that you should do as I have done to you." Love is incomplete without giving and serving. Jesus said in Matthew 20.28, I have not come to be served but to serve and to give my life as a ransom for many. The source and motive of service is love. The love of Jesus compelled Him to wash the feet of His disciples, to serve His disciples. He kept His reputation aside, the opinions of people aside and the trend of this world aside and served His people. Glory to God! This is genuine Love! If you love Jesus, you will serve Him. If you love people, you will serve them. To serve simply means to give up your life in fulfilling the calling and commandment of God which is for the glory of Jesus and for the benefit of people.

Friend, wherever you are, be the first to serve. Whether you are in church, office or in your house, be eager and ready to serve. Serve you way to the top. Love serves! Humility serves! Don't let pride or selfishness or anything else keep you from serving others for in serving others you are serving your Lord Jesus Christ. Keep your eyes on Jesus and serve faithfully, serve with all your heart, serve not for recognition, attention or reward, serve simply because Jesus served. Jesus said in John 13:17, If you know these things, blessed are you if you do them. Be blessed! Serve! Go Higher!

Your Shepherd knows your name!

Your Shepherd knows your name!
- Pastor Ashish Mathews

John 10:3
To him the doorkeeper opens, and the sheep hear his voice; and he calls his own sheep by name and leads them out.

Psalms 23.1 says, The Lord is my Shepherd and I shall not lack. Jesus is our shepherd and we are His sheep. He is not a bad shepherd, He is a good shepherd and He laid down His life for you. You are eternally precious to Him.

This verse says, He calls His own sheep by name. The Lord knows your name, He has not forgotten you. Isn't it amazing to know that the Lord is personally involved in your life and has the best in store for you? Sometimes, because of the pressures and challenges of life, we feel the Lord has forgotten us but thats not the truth. Hebrews 13.5 says, the Lord will never leave you nor forsake you. Jesus said, In Matthew 28.20, I am with you always, even to the end of the age. The key is to trust Him no matter where you are and no matter what you are going through. He knows your name. He is well aware of whats happening in your life. He is working on your behalf. He is working behind the scenes. He is working for you good. Romans 8. 28 says, And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose. Our five senses may conclude, nothing is happening but by faith we believe Jesus, our Shepherd is working and all things will turn out for our good. Will you trust your Shepherd,  the one who calls you by your name? Your unbelief blocks Him and therefore blocks you. Your trust releases Him and therefore releases you.

Friend, just because you can't see anything happening, doesn't mean nothing is happening. Jesus is not irresponsible and careless. He knows everything about you and is working tirelessly for your good. If you knew and believed this, you would sing like Paul and Silas, who were in jail, facing tremendous persecution for their faith in Jesus. You cannot be defeated and you will not fail because your Shepherd, Jesus knows you, loves you and will lead you to the green pastures and still waters He has for you. Trust your Shepherd!

God lives in you!

God lives in you!
- Pastor Ashish Mathews

I Corinthians 3:16 NKJV
Do you not know that you are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?

God lives in you. Elshaddai lives in you. Jehovah Jireh, Jehovah Rapha, Jehovah Shalom lives in you. You are the temple of God and the Spirit of God dwells, abides and abodes in you. This makes you a champion! Glory!

The day you got born again, the Holy Spirit joined himself to your spirit and you become one with the Holy Spirit. I Corinthians 6:17 says, But he who is joined to the Lord is one spirit with  Him. Be God inside minded. Every day and every moment of your life be conscious that God Almighty lives and dwells in you. The Apostle Paul said in II Corinthians 4.7, we have this treasure in earthen vessels. He was talking about the precious treasure of the Holy Spirit residing on the inside of us. You are the home of the Holy Spirit. He dwells and lives in you. This was a mystery in the Old Testament, but was revealed to the Apostle Paul and He said in Colossians 1.27, To them God willed to make known what are the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles: which is Christ in you, the hope of glory. In the Old Testament,  God dwelt in the Most Holy Place of the Tabernacle, but in the New Testament because of the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ, every believer becomes the tabernacle of God and God Almighty dwells in each one of us. Glory to God!

Friend, it's important for us to know that not only does the Holy Spirit dwells in us but He is also greater than anyone and anything in this world. I John 4.4 says, You are of God, little children, and have overcome them, because He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world. Be conscious that the Holy Spirit, the Greater One, dwells in you. Be sensitive to Him, Yield yourself to Him, Consider Him, Involve Him, Obey Him and He will make you an undeniable success. This is your time. Go on with Jesus!

Holy Spirit is a person!

Holy Spirit is a person!
- Pastor Ashish Mathews

II Corinthians 13:14
The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Spirit be with you all. Amen.

The communion of the Holy Spirit is the key to success in the life of a believer. Without the Holy Spirit, its impossible to know and experience the love of the Father and the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ in an intimate way. Without the Holy Spirit, its impossible to live the Christ life and walk the Christ walk.

In having communion with the Holy Spirit, its important for us to know that the Holy Spirit is a person, who has a mind, will and emotions. The Holy Spirit is not a thing, He is not wind, oil, water or a dove. He is not an influence, a power or a force. He is a person who has power and influence. You cannot have communion with a thing, a substance or a force. The Holy Spirit has a will, I Corinthians 12:11 says, But one and the same Spirit works all these things, distributing to each one individually as He wills. He has emotions because He can be grieved, Ephesians 4.30 says, And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. He has a mind, Romans 8.27 says, Now He who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the Spirit is, because He makes intercession for the saints according to the  will  of God. The Holy Spirit speaks, Acts 13.2 says, As they ministered to the Lord and fasted, the Holy Spirit said, “Now separate to Me Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them.” All of these scriptures prove beyond the shadow of a doubt that Holy Spirit is a person. Like you fellowship with your friends, fellowship with the Holy Spirit. This is the key to success. He is your Helper and He longs to help you in every area of your life. We need help, let's take His help.

Friend, befriend the Holy Spirit and develop a deep and intimate relationship with Him. As you grow in your relationship with the Holy Spirit, you will begin to experience His power in every area of your life. Spiritual things will become real to you, the word becomes alive and prayer becomes lively. Your love for Jesus will grow immensely because the Holy Spirit always magnifies and glorifies Jesus Christ. Walk with the Holy Spirit, Go on with Jesus!

His voice is your life.

His voice is your life.
- Pastor Ashish Mathews

John 10:27
My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me.

Believer, Jesus is your Shepherd and you are his sheep. Psalms 23 gives us a good picture of the Shepherd and His sheep. As our Shepherd, Jesus is responsible for us, His sheep - Our protection, our provision, our health, our victory, our peace, our guidance and everything that concerns us.

Jesus said, I am the good Shepherd and the good Shepherd lays down His life for the sheep. Finding green pastures and still waters is not our responsibility, it's our Shepherds responsibility. Our only responsibility is to follow His voice. The only thing the sheep has to do is follow the voice of the Shepherd. His voice is our protection. His voice is our provision. The Shepherd's voice is the life of the sheep. This verse says, my sheep hear my voice. The Shepherd is always speaking to His sheep, the Lord is always speaking to you. There's never a moment in your life where your Shepherd stops speaking to you. He always speaks because He loves you unconditionally and because you are His responsibility. Hearing His voice is not an issue, the problem is recognizing His voice. As you fellowship with the Lord, you will be able to discern and recognize the voice of your Shepherd and differentiate His voice from other voices in this world. The key to recognize His voice is by having a deep and intimate fellowship with your Shepherd. His voice is your life!

Friend, let the word of God dwell in you richly. Let prayer become your priority. Let worship be your lifestyle. Let speaking in tongues become your daily habit. As you do these things consistently, you will be able to recognize perfectly the voice of your Shepherd and you will never ever lack in your life. You do hear His voice, now recognize it, speak it and do whatever He tells you to do. This is your time. Go on with Jesus!

Love : The evidence of new birth

Love : The evidence of new birth
- Pastor Ashish Mathews

I John 3:14
We know that we have passed from death to life, because we love the brethren. He who does not love his brother abides in death.

The moment you believed and received Jesus as your Lord and Saviour, you passed from death to life. The word 'death' refers to spiritual death and the word 'life' refers to eternal life. By faith in Christ, you moved from spiritual death to eternal life. This is called new birth.

Spiritual death refers to the nature of Satan while eternal life refers to the life and nature of God. According to this verse, love is the evidence that you are born again, that you have moved from death to life. God is love and to have the life and nature of God simply means to have the nature and life of Love. The moment you are born again, you get a love nature and a love life. A born again person has passed from selfishness to love, from hate to love. A born again person cannot walk in selfishness and hatred. This verse says anyone who doesn't love and walks in hatred is still in spiritual death and still has the nature of Satan. Love is the evidence of new birth - Love is your nature and love is your life. You are born of God, from God and for God therefore you are born of Love, from Love and for Love. You are a love being and the love of God is in you because Romans 5.5 says the love of God has been shed abroad in your heart by the Holy Spirit.

Friend, believe and know that God loves you unconditionally and passionately. Love God. Love others. Love life. Jesus said, if you love me, you will keep my commandments. Your love for Jesus is measured by your obedience to His commandments. He who loves Jesus obeys His word and anyone who doesn't love Jesus doesn't obey His word. Therefore obedience is proof of love. Since love is our nature, obedience becomes our delight. You are a love being and that's why you do exactly what your Love Commander, Jesus says. What a life in Christ! Go on with Jesus!

"I am born of God therefore I am born of Love. Love is my nature and obeying Jesus is my delight. I know and believe God loves me. I love people as Jesus loved me. Love never fails. Love always wins. God is Love."

The kingdom entrance.

The kingdom entrance.
- Pastor Ashish Mathews

John 3:3
Jesus answered and said to him, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.”

The only way you can see and enter the kingdom of God is by being born again. In the Bible, born again also means new birth, born from above, born of God, born of the word and born of the Spirit. Unless a person is born again, he or she cannot enter the kingdom of God.

Born again doesn't refer to physical birth, it refers to spiritual birth. You are a spirit, you have a soul and you live in a body. When Adam heard Satan's voice and disobeyed God, He connected himself to Satan. He received the nature of Satan into his spirit. He was the first person to be translated from the kingdom of light to the kingdom of darkness. Because of Adam's disobedience, humanity was locked in the kingdom of darkness. But Jesus, because of His great love, took on himself the sins of humanity and entered the kingdom of darkness, defeated Satan and set humanity free from the dominion of darkness. His blood has forgiven our sins and His resurrection has made available God's nature - eternal and everlasting life- to every one who believes in what Jesus has done. Jesus was the first person to be translated from the kingdom of darkness to the kingdom of light. The moment you believe and receive Jesus and what He has done, you are born again. You receive eternal life, the life and nature of God. 2 Corinthians 5.17 says, If anyone is in Christ, He is a new creation, old things have passed away and behold all things have become new.  You cannot enter God's kingdom by good works. No amount of sacrifices, prayers, givings, crying or good works can give you entrance in the kingdom of God. Only Jesus! New birth is possible only through Jesus Christ.

Friend, Jesus has done everything that needs to be done to give you access into God's kingdom. No more work is needed. His work is not incomplete, His work is perfect and complete. Believe on what Jesus has done for you! Believe on the person and the finished works of Jesus Christ! The only way you can change kingdoms is by being born again. New birth is the only way to enter God's kingdom and Jesus is the only way to New birth. Go on with Jesus!

You are a child of God!

You are a child of God!
- Pastor Ashish Mathews

John 1:12
But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name.

Believer, you are a child of God. The moment you received Jesus as your Lord and Saviour, something extraordinary and miraculous happened. Something changed. Something beautiful took place. You became a child of the Most High God. To Jesus be all the glory!

This verse is not a promise, its a fact. The word of God is a mirror, it shows you who you actually are. The more you look into the mirror of God's word, the more you will discover yourself and once you know who you actually are, life becomes victorious. You are as much a child of God as Jesus is. This is why Jesus came, He came to bring many sons to glory. II Corinthians 5.17 says, Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he  is  a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new. You are no more a slave of God, you are His beloved and precious child. The revelation of this fact enables us to be bold in our fellowship with the Father. It enables us to be bold in our battles with Satan and his forces. It enables us to be bold in the presence of man. You become absolutely fearless because you know who you are!

Friend, be conscious that you are a child of God. God Almighty is your Father and He loves you as much as He loves Jesus. You are a child of God. Think accordingly. Speak accordingly. See accordingly. Live accordingly. Make decisions accordingly. Manifest yourself and let the world see Jesus in and through you. This is your time! Go on with Jesus! Nothing else matters!

Become an Intercessor!

Become an Intercessor!
- Pastor Ashish Mathews

Ezekiel 22:30
So I sought for a man among them who would make a wall, and stand in the gap before Me on behalf of the land, that I should not destroy it; but I found no one.

Intercession means to stand in the gap and pray for the salvation of the people of this world. Your intercession can bring people to Christ and thereby save them from the coming judgement and the day of wrath. Become an intercessor!

Intercession is the very heart of God for God desires all men to be saved. God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten son that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. This is why we intercede for the lost and unsaved so that their eyes would be opened and they would turn to Jesus and escape the day of wrath. Acts 4.12 says, Salvation is found only in the name of Jesus for there is no other name given under heaven whereby mankind can be saved. Revelation 20:15 says, And anyone not found written in the Book of Life was cast into the lake of fire. The only entrance to the Book of Life is by faith in Jesus Christ because Jesus died for the sins of humanity, was buried and rose again on the third day perfectly justified. Anyone who believes in Jesus escapes the judgement, wrath and condemnation of God because Jesus took it all and paid for it all with His own blood. Pray for your family members, your friends, your relatives, your loved ones and stand in the gap for them and snatch them from the fires of hell. Selfishness refuses to intercede. Love intercedes! Compassion intercedes! Mercy intercedes! Write down the names of your unsaved loved ones and start praying for them diligently to be saved. Through you prayers, demonic powers will be bound, labourers will be released, souls will be saved and Jesus will be glorified. Stand in the gap and save people from the eternal and horrible fires of hell. Start today! Intercession is powerful.

Friend, every believer is called to intercede. Why don't you enroll yourself as an intercessor in the kingdom of God? Standing in the gap and praying for the lost is big in the eyes of God. We must save as many as we can from the fires of hell. Stand in the gap! Remember who you are! You are the salt of the earth! Preserve and add value! Become an intercessor!

Laws of Abundance - #8

Laws of Abundance - #8
- Pastor Ashish Mathews

Galatians 5:6
For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision avails anything, but faith working through love.

The eight law - Forgive, walk in love. This law is the final law in the laws of abundance. No matter where you live or how insignificant your job or salary is, these laws if applied will guarantee abundance in your finances and you will become a channel of God's blessing to many generations. Distribution centres for the glory of God.

All of these eight laws of abundance work by faith. Everything in the kingdom of God works by faith and faith works by love. No love, No faith. No faith, No results. I Corinthians 13:13 says, And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love. If we are to walk and enjoy abundance in our finances, walking in love is a must. Jesus commanded us in John 13. 34, 'A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another.' Unless we forgive others, faith won't work. Unforgiveness, grudge, bitterness and envy blocks your faith and makes it unfruitful. These are faith blockers and it's very dangerous because faith is the only connection to God. So, make a quality decision to walk in love and permit your faith to express itself fully and powerfully. God loves me and that's why I love others. When you know how much God loves you and how much He has forgiven you, loving and forgiving others becomes easy. Walking in love is a response to Gods love for you. The level of your love walk depends on the level of your revelation of God's love for you.

Friend, the love of God has been poured out into your hearts by the Holy Spirit and therefore you can walk in love everyday of your life and you can forgive anyone. Make growing in the revelation of God's love and walking in love the number one priority of your life. Love never fails! Abundance awaits you. He who walks in love abides in God and God abides in him for God is love. Satan and His entire family cannot touch love. Love is the key! Go on with Jesus!

"I walk in the revelation of God's love and I love people passionately. I forgive and I live above offence. My faith works effectively and therefore I keep moving higher and higher in my finances by the power of the Holy Spirit."

Laws of Abundance - #7

Laws of Abundance - #7
- Pastor Ashish Mathews

Matthew 16:19
"And I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.”

The seventh principle in the laws of abundance is taking authority in the name of Jesus. Jesus has given us keys of the kingdom, which means He has given us authority. This authority is in the name of Jesus and the day you got born again, you have the right to use the name of Jesus!

In His name, we bind demonic forces who hinder the manifestations of our harvest. Just like Satan and His forces tried to stop the answers to Daniels prayer, these forces cause much hindrance in the manifestations of answers. However, we have something that Daniel didn't have, we have authority over these demonic forces in the name of Jesus because Jesus has defeated them. In His name, we bind demonic forces and at the same time, we loose our angels to bring our harvest, our hundred fold to us. Hebrews 1.14 says, 'Are they not all ministering spirits sent forth to minister for those who will inherit salvation?' Angels are sent to serve us. Put your angels to work by giving faith voice to God's word. You are so powerful in Christ. Use your authority in the name of Jesus! Every believer has the right to use the name of Jesus and bind demonic forces and release angelic forces to work on their behalf.

Friend, be conscious that you have authority over demons and angels. If you are ignorant of these things, you will never enjoy the abundance that God has for you. Bind demonic powers in the name of Jesus. Loose angelic forces in the name of Jesus. " Satan, in the name of Jesus, I command you, take your hands away from my harvest now. Ministering spirits,  my angels, I release you in the name of Jesus,  Go, get my harvest, my hundredfold. Thank you Father for my harvest in Jesus name, Amen"
