Remember the victories!

Remember the victories!
- Pastor Ashish Mathews

Deuteronomy 7:17‭-‬18
“If you should say in your heart, ‘These nations are greater than I; how can I dispossess them?’— you shall not be afraid of them, but you shall remember well what the Lord your God did to Pharaoh and to all Egypt:

All throughout your life, you will face challenges which seem impossible to overcome, you will come across mountains which seem impossible to cross and such situations makes you think, "What will I do? Will I ever come out of this problem? Is this the end of my life and ministry?" This is the Lord's answer to you - Remember the victories!

Remember the victories of the past that the Lord gave you. Remember the testimonies of how the Lord delivered you, healed you, provided for you and even protected you. Remember how you used to come forward and give testimony about the Lord's work in your life. Today the situations may be different but Jesus is still the same yesterday, today and forever. The miracles He did for you in the past, He will do the same and even more for you now. You see, when you remind yourself of all that the Lord has done for you, your faith is stirred, your expectations begin to rise and the Lord will manifest His glory yet again. When David faced Goliath He remembered His past victories. He said, "The Lord who delivered me from the paw of the lion and the bear will deliver me from the hand of this Philistine. For the battle is the Lord's"

Beloved, don't be afraid! Take a minute and meditate on the victories of the past. Remember all that the Lord has done for you. If God gave up His Son for you, will He not help you? Of course He will! He delivered you from the dominion of darkness and translated you into the kingdom of his Son. The Lord your God is with you, He is for you and He will never leave you nor forsake you. The battle is the Lord's!

“I remember all the victories the Lord gave me. This battle is the Lord's and yet again He will give me the victory. Hallelujah. The same Lord who delivered me yesterday will deliver me today! I am victorious in Christ!”

Special treasure!

Special treasure!
- Pastor Ashish Mathews

Deuteronomy 7:6
“For you are a holy people to the Lord your God; the Lord your God has chosen you to be a people for Himself, a special treasure above all the peoples on the face of the earth.”

You belong to God, you are the Lord's. A holy people of God. The Lord's special treasure above all the peoples on the face of the earth. You are not ordinary or common. Set apart for God. What an awesome privilege to be known as the special treasure of God.

There's a difference between the worldly people and you. Our lifestyle is different from the lifestyle of the world. Though we are in the world, we don't live like the world lives. The word holy means separate; separate from others, separate from the world. That's why verse says, a special treasure above all the peoples on the face of the earth. Because of our covenant with God in the blood of Jesus, the Lord is our God and we are His people.

It's not just a privilege but also a responsibility to live and walk accordingly. The world has many gods, we have only one Lord - the Lord our God. The world has many ways, we have one way - the word of God. The world hates, but we love. They lie, we speak the truth. There's a difference. We know who we are and we live accordingly. You are His special treasure!  Celebrate it and acknowledge it by living accordingly.

"I am holy to the Lord, His special treasure chosen by Him to be His very own. Hallelujah. I am the Lord's and I live in a manner worthy of the Lord. My life radiates the fact that I am a special treasure of the Lord.”

You are blessed!

You are blessed!
- Pastor Ashish Mathews

Ephesians 1:3
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ

The greatest decision of your life is when you accepted Jesus as your Lord and Saviour. The moment you believed that God raised Jesus from the dead and confessed ‘Jesus is Lord’, you were included in Christ.

You became so wealthy, your wealth cannot be measured. You see, this verse is a mirror and it shows you who you are in Christ and what you have in Christ. God the Father has blessed you (not going to bless you) with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ. You are blessed with every spiritual blessing in Christ. There is nothing you lack. There is nothing you need that you don't have in Christ. Everything you will ever need, want and desire, God has already blessed you with it in Christ. You lack nothing. Do you understand? You lack nothing because you are in Christ. Some one might ask, ‘I am in Christ but why don't I see these blessings in my life?’. Well, let's see the verse again. You are blessed with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ.

Note, it's spiritual blessing (not physical blessing) and it's in the heavenly place (not earthly place). We live by faith and not by sight. Faith words and faith actions bring these blessings from the heavenly places to the earthly places and from the spiritual to the natural. You are seated in the heavenly place with Christ. Fix your eyes and your mind on the heavenly things and speak the word of God in faith. As you do it consistently with a good attitude, you will begin to enjoy these blessings which the blood of Jesus has made available for you. Go on with Jesus!

"I am in Christ and I have everything I need, want and desire because I am blessed with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ. I have no lack. I am full and satisfied. I live in the consistent manifestation of the blessings of God. Hallelujah.”

Call it into existence

Call it into existence.
- Pastor Ashish Mathews

Romans 4:17
(as it is written, “I have made you a father of many nations”) in the presence of Him whom he believed—God, who gives life to the dead and calls those things which do not exist as though they did;

This verse gives us a picture of how God works. God calls those things which do not exist as though they did. God called a man who had no children as a father of many nations. God called out light when He saw darkness.

You are made in the image and likeness of God. You are to walk and work exactly as God walks and works. Note this, your Father calls into existence whatever He desires. Before you start calling things, you need to understand that in Christ, you are blessed with every spiritual blessings in the heavenly places and you have everything you need for life and godliness. Whatever you need, desire and want - more than you can imagine has been given to you. It's in the invisible, spiritual realm and when you begin to call those things - it begins to exists in the visible, natural realm. We don't call to make it ours, we call because it is ours.

What do you need? Find scriptures that talk about your need, want and desire. Once you have the scriptures, begin to call them out in the name of Jesus. Know that it already belongs to you and as you call it out, you will see the manifestation of the blessings. Imitate your Father.

"I call out everything I need for life and godliness. I call out divine word revelation, word illumination and word inspiration, divine health, divine opportunities, divine protection, supernatural favour, divine wisdom, divine connections, divine success and supernatural wealth in the name of Jesus. I am ever increasing in life and ministry with the glory of God."

I want to be rich.

I want to be rich.
- Pastor Ashish Mathews

1 Timothy 6:9‭-‬10
Those who want to get rich fall into temptation and a trap and into many foolish and harmful desires that plunge people into ruin and destruction. For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs.

The world is full of people whose top most objective and priority in life is : I want to be rich. These verses tell us exactly what God thinks about it. A believer who wants to get rich is in a dangerous path - headed towards self destruction.

This is one of the many verses that is used by some believers to convince other believers that financial prosperity is not of God and therefore its not good. It seems like God doesn't want His children to be rich, but to be in need all the time and always depend on other people and banks to help them survive and meet their needs. What is the truth? Let me help you. The love of money is this eager desire and pursuit to have more and more money - to a point where anything can be done to get it and to keep it. God is not against His children having money or prospering financially but God is against His children walking in the love of money - walking in greed and covetousness. God is against - you making yourself rich. Stop it! Take a break! Breathe! Enjoy the day in the presence of God!

Don't make yourself rich, let God do it for Proverbs 10.22 says, 'The blessing of the Lord makes rich and He adds no sorrow to it.' Purse the word instead of pursuing money. Money follows the word of God just like fishes followed the words of Jesus Christ. Excel in your giving. Excel in your trust in God. Excel in the word. I want to know my Lord Jesus Christ more and more!

"I seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness - His way of doing things - and all things are added to me. I don't follow money, money follows me because I trust Jesus and His word is the top most priority of my life. I am as rich as Jesus. Hallelujah"

Endless possibilities

Endless possibilities

Isaiah 48:21
They did not thirst when he led them through the deserts; he made water flow for them from the rock; he split the rock and water gushed out.

God has a million ways of meeting your needs, you can't think of three. A desert is a very dry land with a very warm climate and recieving very less rainfall annually.  With God on your side, a desert becomes the garden of Eden. Without God, even the best of the gardens are turned into a wild desert.

Nothing is too hard for God. Nothing is impossible for God. When His people were in the desert, there was no way they could have water in a dry land. But God! God, our loving heavenly Father did not let His people thirst. He made water flow from the rock, He split the rock and water gushed out and their thirst was quenched. Naturally speaking, there's no way water can come out of rocks. Science cannot explain it. Reason cannot understand it. Logic cannot analyse it. But God did it. My Father God did it. Hallelujah. Don't let science, reason and logic limit you from believing God and receiving from Him. Let me also say this, the waters from rock satisfied the thirst of more than six million people.

Don't try to figure out how God is going to do it. You won't be able to fathom it. Just trust Him and do what He says. Let your Father figure out ways to help you and bless you. His ways are beyond your comprehension. Just think about this, water out of rocks. Trust Him and He will take care of the rest. Rejoice! Nothing is impossible!

"My Father loves me and He is well able to bless me in ways beyond my thinking, imagination and comprehension. I trust Him completely and He makes my deserts like the Garden of Eden. Nothing is impossible for me. Hallelujah"

For your sake!

For your sake!
- Pastor Ashish Mathews

Isaiah 45:4
For Jacob My servant’s sake, And Israel My elect, I have even called you by your name; I have named you, though you have not known Me.

How great is the Lord's love for His people, for His chosen ones! This verse talks about how the Lord for the sake of His people called, named and anointed someone who didn't even know or acknowledge Him to help His people.

Israel was in captivity for seventy years in Babylon. But the Lord, because of His covenant and His great love refused to forsake His people and demonstrated His love for them. He called, named and anointed King Cyrus, one who did not know the Lord, to shepherd the people of God. It was under the rule of King Cyrus that Jews were first allowed to return to Israel after 70 years of captivity. King Cyrus actively assisted the Jews in rebuilding the temple in Jerusalem and restored the temple treasures to Jerusalem and allowed building expenses to be paid from the royal treasury. 2 Chronicles 36:22–23: “Now in the first year of Cyrus king of Persia, that the word of the LORD by the mouth of Jeremiah might be fulfilled, the LORD stirred up the spirit of Cyrus king of Persia, so that he made a proclamation throughout all his kingdom and also put it in writing: ‘Thus says Cyrus king of Persia, “The LORD, the God of heaven, has given me all the kingdoms of the earth, and he has charged me to build him a house at Jerusalem, which is in Judah. Whoever is among you of all his people, may the LORD his God be with him. Let him go up.”

Think about this, God used someone who didn't even know Him to bless His people. For the sake of His people, because of His great compassion towards His people, He did this. How much more will he do for you in the New Covenant. Know and believe His love - for He gave His Son for you. Romans 8:32 says, 'He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things?.' For your sake!

“Lord, I know and believe you love me greatly. Just like you called, named and anointed Cyrus for Israel, you have anointed people for my sake and they are working for my Shalom - all round prosperity. Thank you Father. Jesus is Lord.”

Know where to go.

Know where to go.

John 2:3
And when they ran out of wine, the mother of Jesus said to Him, “They have no wine.”

When you face a challenge, who's the first person that comes to your mind or who's the first person you call? It reveals a lot about whom you trust.

Well, a marriage in Cana faced a big challenge - they ran out of wine. It's amazing what Mary does - she didn't contact the caterers, she didn't complain, grumble or accuse, she went to Jesus! Know where to go! First go to Jesus! Its better to trust in the Lord than to trust men. II Peter 5.7 says, 'Cast all your cares on the Lord for He cares for you.' No matter what challenge you are facing, like Mary give it to Jesus, put it on Jesus and then carefully listen to His instructions and do exactly what He says. Mary, the mother of Jesus said to the servants in John 2.5, ‘Whatever He says to you, do it.’ When you give your cares to Jesus, now He becomes the boss and He will take care of it. When the servants obeyed the Master in this situation, the problem was solved and the family's dignity was saved. Hallelujah.

Jesus loves you! Go to Him first! Many times believers go to Jesus as the last stop when there is no help from anyone. No one can help you the way Jesus helps you. He is our ever present help in trouble. Love people but only look to Jesus! Go to Him first! He will guide you and bring you out of the problems and place you on top with dignity, honour and joy. Blessed be the name of the Lord.

“I trust Jesus and no matter what I face, I always go to Him first. I give Him all my cares because I know and believe that He loves me and cares for me. I pay close attention to His instructions and I do exactly what He says. All my problems are fixed, solved and taken care of. Hallelujah to Jesus!”

My God is so great!

My God is so great!
- Pastor Ashish Mathews

Isaiah 40:12
Who else has held the oceans in his hand? Who has measured off the heavens with his fingers? Who else knows the weight of the earth or has weighed the mountains and hills on a scale?

These verses talk about the greatness of our God. Take a moment and imagine, meditate on this verses and let the Holy Spirit reveal to you how immensely powerful our God is.

About 71 percent of the earth's surface is water-covered, and the oceans hold about 96.5 percent of all earth's water. The Lord holds the oceans in His hand. What a great God we serve! He measures the expanse of the heavens with His fingers. Take a look at your fingers and take a look at the heavens. The ability of God is beyond human comprehension. Like you weigh vegetables and fruits in the  market, the Lord weighs mountains and hills. He knows the weight of the earth. These are outstanding realities on the greatness of God.

Believer, God is not just God to you, He is your Father and He loves you immensely. In Christ, God is your Father and you are His beloved child. Your Father is great and His love for you is even greater. He will never leave you nor forsake you. He is with you right now! Your Father is greater than all the challenges and problems you are facing or will ever face. The revelation of the greatness and the love of your Father will dispel every fear. The Greater One lives in you. Hallelujah

"My Father is so great! My Father loves me as much as He loves Jesus. He is so powerful, so great and so strong. I live and walk in the revelation of His greatness and the revelation of His love for me. I live absolutely fearless! My Father is with me always. Hallelujah."

Immovable Rock!

Immovable Rock!
- Pastor Ashish Mathews

John 16:33
These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.”

Imagine - A violent storm is coming across your path and you can see the winds throwing away everything that's coming in it's way. What would you do? You would run to something that's immovable - that cannot be shaken or moved by the storms.

We live in perilous times and it's darker than ever. In these uncertain times, the word of God is the only certain and sure foundation. Jesus said, 'Heaven and earth shall pass away but my words will never pass away.' The word of God is more reliable than heaven and earth. Jesus said, I have said these things to you so that you won't be shaken and you won't stumble. Hold firmly to His words and never let go. Oh the words of my Lord!  Hallelujah. The Apostle Peter told Jesus, "Where shall we go, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life." His words give us His peace, His words gives us His joy and our joy becomes complete. Jesus said, 'In this world you will have tribulation but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.'

His words have overcome the tribulations of this world. There is nothing in this world that the word of God cannot overcome. The storms will come and the storms will go but the word of God shall never be shaken. The word of God is the immovable Rock. The gates of hell cannot prevail against the Rock of Gods word. Build on God's word. Stay on God's word. Believe and Speak God's word. Live God's word. When you build on God's word, your life becomes immovable because Gods word is immovable.

"God's word is the immovable Rock. No storm, no winds, no floods can shake or move the word of God. My life is built on the word of God and therefore I am immovable. I take refuge in Gods word. His word is my life and my food. Hallelujah."

Your Guide lives in you.

Your Guide lives in you.
- Pastor Ashish Mathews

John 16:13
However, 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.

It's very important to have a guide in this world full of lies, deception and wickedness. Without a guide, you will by all means miss your destiny and end up frustrated and depressed. You are not alone in this journey called life.

The Holy Spirit dwells in every believer forever. Jesus said He will guide you into all truth. Your Guide, the Holy Spirit lives in you and He knows everything. He will never deceive you for He is the Spirit of truth, not the spirit of error or deception. If you trust your Guide and rely on Him completely, He will protect you and lead you into the perfect plan of God. He will tell you of things to come so you can make wise decisions. Many times believers are looking outside for guidance  - from people, from news channels and from prophets. Look inside! You are in the New Covenant. Your Guide, the mighty Holy Spirit lives in you.

Be conscious of the Greater One who lives in you. Live a life that is pleasing to the Holy Spirit. Feed and meditate richly on God's word so that the Spirit of truth can guide you with ease. You may not know everything but your Guide, who lives in you knows everything and He is your Helper. Ask Him! Your Guide guides you. No more confusion! No more frustration! No more complaining! Listen to Him! Pay careful attention! Rejoice! Follow!

"I refuse to be frustrated and confused. I am at rest because my Guide lives in me and He knows everything. He guides me, He leads me and He teaches me. I am a word man and I follow the guidance of the Holy Spirit. I rely on Him. Thank you Lord Jesus!"

Be fruitful!

Be fruitful!
- Pastor Ashish Mathews

John 15:2
Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit He takes away; and every branch that bears fruit He prunes, that it may bear more fruit.

Jesus is the Vine and every believer is a branch. Jesus expects every branch of His to bear fruit, more fruit and much fruit. A fruitful life is evidence that you are a disciple of Jesus Christ.

As a branch, you can only bear fruit if you are connected to the Vine. A branch doesn't have life of it's own, the life flows from the Vine. When you seperate a branch from the Vine, it dries up because the life supply has stopped. Every thing a branch needs is in the Vine. Stay connected to Jesus, the Vine. When you abide in the words of God, you are abiding in the Vine. Let His words dwell in you richly. Let His words saturate you. Drown yourself in the words of God. Without a seed, there is no fruit. The seed is the word of God. The connection between the Vine and the branch is the Word of God. The level of your connection to God's word is the level of your connection with the Vine. The level of your connection with the Vine is the level of the fruitful life that you are experiencing.

A fruitful life is a life of character, dignity, honour and great success - a life where you are in the perfect will of God and you are a blessing to every nation on earth. It's a great life. God the Father is committed to your fruitful life. There is no doubt about it. He is glorified when His branches bear much fruit. Abide in the word and be fruitful!

"God wants me to be fruitful - not just fruit, but more fruit and much fruit. I abide in the Vine by abiding in His words. His words are my food. His words are my life. I am doer of His word and my life is fruitful. My fruitful life is evidence that I am a disciple of Jesus Christ."

Where is your faith?

Where is your faith?
- Pastor Ashish Mathews

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

What you believe and who you believe determines whether your heart is at rest or whether your heart is troubled.

If your heart is troubled today, my question to you is, What are you believing? Whom are you believing? A troubled heart is evidence you are not trusting the Lord, not trusting His word. Jesus asked His disciples when they were troubled at the waves and winds that came against their boat,  'Where is your faith?'. In other words Jesus was asking them, On whom and on what have you placed your faith? Jesus was saying, Why don't you believe me and my words?. When you believe the Lord and his word, you experience perfect peace. Isaiah 26:3 says, 'You will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on You, because he trusts in You.' 

When you believe people, words and circumstances that are contrary to God's word, you will be stressed, troubled and disturbed. I encourage you to place your faith on the word of God and enjoy perfect peace. Irrespective of what's happening around you, the word of God in your mouth and in your heart will keep you from being troubled and help you overcome any trouble. Examine yourself! Where is my faith?

"My faith is on Jesus. My faith is on the word of God. Therefore I am not troubled, I enjoy perfect peace.  My mind is fixed on the Lord and His word is in my mouth and in my heart in abundance. Hallelujah."

Light in You!

Light in You!
- Pastor Ashish Mathews

John 11:9‭-‬10
Jesus answered, “Are there not twelve hours in the day? If anyone walks in the day, he does not stumble, because he sees the light of this world.  But if one walks in the night, he stumbles, because the light is not in him.”

The only reason any one stumbles in life is because there is no light in them. Having light in you is way better than having lights around you.

The light that I am talking about is not the light of the sun, light of the room or street lights. You can be outside your house when the sun is shining bright or you can be in a room full of lights and yet stumble in life and never know what makes you fall. What keeps you from falling is not the light around you but the light in you. Light in you is the revelation of God's word. The revelation of God's word brings light. When this light comes, you see better and therefore you can do better. Word meditation brings word revelation. If you meditate, abide and continue in the word, the word will become real to you and will set you free.

Has the word become real to you? Is the word in your mouth and in your heart in abundance? Are you a doer of Gods word or just a hearer? Has the word occupied first and final place in your life? If not, then it's high time to begin the word exercise. It's only the revelation of God's word that will keep you from falling in this world. Lights around you limits you. Light in You sets you free and takes the limits off - unlimited.

"I have light in me. The revelation of God's word is light. I don't walk by the lights of this natural world but I walk by the revelation of God's word. I have no limits and the light in me is growing and becoming stronger every day. The word of God is my life."

Slave to Son Consciousness

Slave to Son Consciousness
- Pastor Ashish Mathews

Romans 8:15
For you did not receive a spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption, by whom we cry out, “ Abba , Father! ”

Slave Consciousness is one of the reasons many believers live in fear. Fear is dangerous. Fear was the reason Job lost everything. Job said in Job 3:25‭-‬26, "For the thing I greatly feared has come upon me, And what I dreaded has happened to me. I am not at ease, nor am I quiet; I have no rest, for trouble comes.” You don't tolerate fear. You don't manage fear. You kick fear out!

Because of the disobedience of Adam, mankind became a slave of Satan and Satan kept us in slavery and controlled us through fear. Fear is Satan's weapon to keep you in slavery. Slaves fear! Jesus Christ has set you free through His blood and through His death, burial and resurrection. Jesus, through his death has defeated satan and delivered us from the fear of death which kept us in bondage and trapped us in slavery. You are no longer a slave. You were a slave but now in Christ, you are a son of God. Galatians 4:7 says, 'Therefore you are no longer a slave but a son, and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ.' Every believer is a Son of God but not all believers know their sonship privilege. There are believers who are sons but have slave mentality and therefore are trapped in fear. Move from Slave Consciousness to Son Consciousness, Slave mentality to Son mentality. Renew your mind and think like a son, see like a son, speak like a son and live like a son. Son Consciousness will help you live fearlessly. Speak to yourself and say, “I am a son of God.” The more you say it, the more conscious you become.

Slave mentality will keep you in fear. Son mentality will help you live a fearless life in this world full of fear. No longer a slave of Satan, no longer a slave of Sin, no longer a slave of man and no longer a slave of God. You are a beloved child of God. We don't serve God as a slave, we serve our Father as a son. Live fearlessly. This is your time.

"I am not a slave, I am a son of God and God is my Abba, Father. I move from slave mentality to son mentality. I think, see, speak and live as a son. I have no fear. My Father loves me and is for me. Hallelujah"

Your works!

Your works!
- Pastor Ashish Mathews

John 9:4
I must work the works of Him who sent Me while it is day; the night is coming when no one can work.

The Father sent Jesus to do the works of the Father. Jesus was conscious of this fact. He spoke the words of the Father and He did the works of the Father.

Jesus said in John 20.21, “Peace to you! As the Father has sent Me, I also send you.” Every believer including you, is sent by Jesus just as Jesus was sent by the Father. You are sent to do the works of Jesus just like Jesus was sent to do the works of the Father. Just like a company sends her employees to do a specific task, Jesus Christ, the Lord and Head of the Church, has sent you to do His works. Are you doing the works of God, thats why the Lord sent you? What are the works of Jesus? Some believers have no clue about these works, others know it but are not doing it but only a few are actually doing the works of the One who sent them.

What are the works of Jesus? You have a specific place in the body of Christ with a specific work and you have the gifts and the grace to do your work effectively and fulfill it. Your work is to believe in the One who has sent you. Jesus was always connected to the One who sent Him. Stay connected to the one who sent you. Stay connected to Jesus. Say what He says. Do what He tells you to do. Love like He loved you and still loves you. This is Your Work!

"I am sent by Jesus to do His works. I say what He says. I do what He tells me to do. I love others the way He loves me. By His grace and By His Spirit, I do His works. Thank you Lord Jesus!"

Taught by God.

Taught by God.
- Pastor Ashish Mathews

John 7:15‭-‬16
The Jews there were amazed and asked, “How did this man get such learning without having been taught?”  Jesus answered, “My teaching is not my own. It comes from the one who sent me.

You know Jesus wasn't formally trained, schooled or educated. But He spoke and taught in a way that amazed the Jews. You remember, at the age of twelve when Jesus sat in the midst of scholars hearing them and asking them questions, the teachers and doctors of the law were astonished at His understanding and answers.

How could He do it - having never been formally trained? How could He talk and live with such wisdom that marvelled and astonished everyone who ever heard Him? Let me give some keys! In verse 16, Jesus answered, “My teaching is not my own. It comes from the one who sent me.” There is a teaching that comes from the Father. No school, institution or college can give you this teaching. This heavenly teaching is not based on your education, family, financial or any other status. Believer, it's only dependent on your availability. If you make yourself available for the word of God, the Spirit of God who dwells in you will teach and show you things exactly the same way He did for Jesus. You will begin to know things beyond your formal education. You will begin to see things you never saw. You will have an insight, an understanding, a wisdom that helps you shine and stuns the people around you.

Make yourself available for the word and for the Holy Spirit. Don't let your education or lack of education limit you from receiving this higher teaching. Life is spiritual, earthly education is not enough to help you succeed in life. Yield to the word. Yield to the Holy Spirit. Stay on the word! Stay with the Holy Spirit!  This is your time to shine!

“I am taught by God. His word dominates me and I live by the teachings of the Holy Spirit. I speak and live wisely. My life is an unending stream of success, prosperity, influence and impact. I am the light of the world and Jesus is my light.”

Trust is work!

Trust is work!
- Pastor Ashish Mathews

John 6:28‭-‬29
Then they said to Him, “What shall we do, that we may work the works of God?” Jesus answered and said to them, “This is the work of God, that you believe in Him whom He sent.”

Faith is work. Believing is work. Trust is work. Jesus said in John 6:27, ‘Do not labor for the food which perishes, but for the food which endures to everlasting life..’ Work on the word! Labour on the word!

Unless you make a quality decision to work on the word, you will never experience a struggle free life and never enjoy sweatless victories. There is a higher life. Refuse to live like the world. You are from another planet. As you diligently work on the word, you will grow in the knowledge of Jesus. The more you know Him, the easier it is to trust Him. The more you trust Him, the more He will work in you, for you and through you. As you give Him space, He will turn your life, your family, your finances and everything that concerns you upside down for the better. Do overtime on God's word. Do double shift on God's word. You will never regret it. Give the word priority. Make the word first and final in your life. What a life!  Glory to God.

The reason many people are struggling in life is because they don't take the time to work on the word. The word is not the priority of their lives. They run for money, for properties, for fame, for selfish reasons and for temporary visible things. Stop! Change the train! Don't do what the Gentiles do, they seek after all these things day and night. Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness and all these things will be added to you. Go for the word. Your higher life awaits you!

“I work on the word. I am committed to grow more in grace and in the knowledge of Jesus. The word of God is the most important pursuit of my life. I labour on the word, I know my Lord, I trust Him and He works in me, through me and for me. I rest!  Hallelujah.”

Sin no more.

Sin no more.
- Pastor Ashish Mathews

John 5:14
Afterward Jesus found him in the temple, and said to him, “See, you have been made well. Sin no more, lest a worse thing come upon you.”

A man who was sick for thirty eight years was healed by Jesus. After a while Jesus found Him and said, 'See you have been made well. Sin no more, lest a worse things come upon you.'

Why does Jesus heal you and save you? He doesn't do it, so you can sin more. He does it so you can live for the glory of God. Sin is dangerous and it has terrible consequences. The wages of sin is death. Sin will spoil your life. Thats why Jesus said to the man, 'Stop sinning, lest something worse happens to you.' Sin opens the door for Satan to attack you. What is sin? Sin is breaking the commandment of God. The only commandment in the New Covenant is the Law of Love. Jesus said, “A new commandment I give you, Love one another as I have loved you.” The only way you can walk firmly on the Love Line is by knowing how much Jesus loves you. The only reason Jesus healed that man is simply because He loved Him not because that man deserved it or did anything good to get the healing. If that healed man only knew and believed the love that Jesus had for Him, He would have never sinned. Stay on the Love Line!

As long as you stay on the Love Line, Satan cannot touch you. The moment you drift from the Love Line, you become an open target for the devil to attack you. Jesus heals you, saves you and delivers you simply because He loves you. Know and believe His unconditional love for you and stay on the Love Line. Sin no more! Your sin doesn't stop Jesus from loving you. Your sin stops you and takes you out of the protection of the Father. If you make a mistake, repent, confess it and receive your forgiveness. Come back on the Love Line and Stay there!

“I am doer of the Love commandment. Come what may, I will never violate the Love commandment. I live in love, I walk in love and I breathe love. My Father loves me and I know it and I believe it. I am a love being, Love is my nature and I love!”

The Father seeks!

The Father seeks!
- Pastor Ashish Mathews

John 4:23
But the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for the Father is seeking such to worship Him.

Can you imagine this, God Almighty - the Father of lights, mercies, spirits and glory is seeking for true worshippers? He's looking for such people. His heart desires and craves for true worshippers.

The true worshippers worship God in spirit and in truth. True worshippers aren't bothered about place or time, they worship all the time - in private and in public. Their worship towards the Father is expressed everyday and in everything they do, not just on Sunday. Their worship is real and comes out of their spirit. It's genuine. Nothing fake. No pretence. When Jesus said true worshippers, that means there are false worshippers too, for whom worship is limited to time and place. It's more about impressing other people than pleasing God. For such worship doesn't come from the heart but it's merely following traditions and customs of man. True worship is being conscious of the Father all the time, living in reverence before Him and honouring Him all the time and in everything you do.

The Father seeks true worshippers. If you are a true worshipper, no matter where you are, the Father will find you and use you mightily for His own glory.  Become a true worshipper. Meditate on the Father's love and let His love overwhelm you. Meditate on the words of the Father and let the word work in you strong. God is a spirit and those who worship Him must worship Him in spirit and in truth.

“I am a true worshipper and I worship the Father in spirit and in truth. My worship is not limited to time and place. It's real and is expressed in everything I do and everyday of my life. Worship is my lifestyle and Jesus is glorified through my life. Hallelujah.”

Christ, my wisdom.

Christ, my wisdom.
- Pastor Ashish Mathews

I Corinthians 1:30
But of Him you are in Christ Jesus, who became for us wisdom from God—and righteousness and sanctification and redemption—

The day you got born again - that day was the greatest day of your life because you were included in Christ. Christ is in you and you are in Christ. Become Christ conscious. Be God inside minded.

God has made Christ your wisdom. Christ is your wisdom. Because you have Christ, you have the wisdom of God. The same wisdom with which God made the heavens and founded the earth, the same wisdom by which Jesus walked on the earth - that same wisdom is in you right this moment. Hallelujah. Because you are in Christ, you are as wise as Jesus. Irrespective of your education qualification, experience and Intelligence Quotient, you are as wise as Jesus Himself simply because you are in Christ. Don't look for wisdom outside - the wisdom of this world is foolish, earthly, sensual and demonic. All the wisdom that you will ever need in life is IN YOU - Christ in you. Look inside!

Proverbs 4.7 says, Wisdom is the most important thing. Long life is in her right hand, riches and honour in her left hand. Every believer ought to live a long, prosperous and honourable life because every believer has the wisdom of God in them. You can't  get this wisdom by education or experience, its only by the Holy Spirit. So refuse to complain, blame and grumble, just acknowledge this reality and let God's wisdom manifest in your life by feeding on God's word and by being sensitive to the unctions of the Holy Spirit. This is your time!

"I am in Christ therefore I have the wisdom to live this life successfully. I am as wise as Jesus Himself. His wisdom is working in me now, guiding my decisions, governing my actions, influencing my speech and impacting my life. I live a brilliant and excellent life - Christ my wisdom lives in me"

Manage your time wisely.

Manage your time wisely.
- Pastor Ashish Mathews

Ephesians 5:15‭-‬17
So pay close attention to how you walk—not as unwise people but as wise. Make the most of your time because the days are evil. For this reason do not be foolish, but understand what the Lord’s will is.

Every believer is to make the most of their time in order to understand what the will of the Lord is, to understand what the Lord wants. To live foolishly would mean to be ignorant of God's will and live life as one wants and desires.

The days we live in are evil - the distractions are many. A wise believer will use His time wisely in finding out what the Lord wants instead of wasting his time in unnecessary and unproductive pursuits. You cannot know God's will unless you invest time in knowing what His will is. The primary place you discover the Lord's will is His word. His word is His will. The time that has been given to you i.e 24 hours in a day is to be used very wisely, diligently and circumspectly - as if you have purchased every minute. Give your time to God's will. Make a quality decision to do so. Not only are the days evil, but the days are also short - Jesus is coming back. Do not be so consumed in following and imitating the patterns and course of this world that you neglect doing what the Lord wants and bring yourself to an unproductive place. God's will is the best place to be.

The Apostle Paul says, undertand what the Lord's will is so you can make the most of every opportunity you have in doing what the Lord wants. As you invest your time in the word of God, the Holy Spirit will lead and guide you into the good, acceptable and perfect will of God. There's nothing more important in life than doing what the Lord wants. Steal your time from the temporary physical things and invest it in the eternal spiritual things. So be wise, use your time wisely, understand the Lord's will and follow the plan wholeheartedly. This is your time.

“I am not a fool, I am wise. I use my time - every moment wisely. I understand the Lords will and I follow the plan wholeheartedly. I never lack and I am well taken care of. Glory to God.”

You are loved.

You are loved.
- Pastor Ashish Mathews

John 3.16
For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.

You are loved by God Most High. His love is not dependent on what you can give Him. His love is not based on what you can do for Him.

There is nothing you can possibly do to stop God from loving you. Irrespective of the mistakes you have made, the sins you have committed and the failures you have experienced, God still loves you. No matter how many times you have fallen in life, your Heavenly Father still loves you and is always there for you. His love for you never fails. Never doubt or question His love - the sacrifice of Jesus is the greatest demonstration of God's love for you. This sacrifice erdicates all doubts and all questions concerning God's love for you. When you know and believe this love, you will begin to experience freedom - a freedom from sin, fear, guilt and condemnation. Freedom to love others rather than judging and condemning people. Freedom to enjoy life and experience God's best in every area of life.

God gave up His only begotten Son, Jesus for you. You have immeasurable worth and infinite value in the eyes of God. His love will help you stop sinning so that you won't kill yourself because that wages of sin is death. Experience God's love. There is no greater love than Gods love. No human can love you the way God loves you. The day you know, believe and recieve God's love, you will love others as God loved you.

“I know and believe my Father loves me as much as He loves Jesus. He will never stop loving me because He is Love. His love empowers me to live a godly life. His love empowers me to love others as He loved me. I am His beloved and His love for me never fails. Hallelujah.”

Your redemption price.

Your redemption price.
- Pastor Ashish Mathews

I Peter 1:18‭-‬19
knowing that you were not redeemed with corruptible things, like silver or gold, from your aimless conduct received by tradition from your fathers, but with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot.

How do you live a God fearing life? The verse starts with, ‘knowing...’. It's important to know the word realities because unless you know, you won't be able to live a honourable life. Hosea 4.6 says, my people are destroyed because they don't know what the word says.

We live a God fearing life because we know that our redemption price was not corruptible things like gold and silver. All the gold and silver in the world cannot buy your redemption - your redemption price is way too expensive. The blood of Jesus is your redemption price. Jesus gave up His life, shed His entire blood on the cross and when He rose again, took His own blood, entered the heavenly Holy of Holies, placed His blood on the heavenly mercy seat and obtained eternal redemption for us. The blood of Jesus paid for our sins and satisfied God's justice. When you are aware of the price that Jesus paid to redeem you and the love He demonstrated towards you, you want to live a God fearing life and you live a honourable life for the glory of the One who died for you.

The price for your redemption was huge. But Jesus paid it. You are eternally and perfectly redeemed. Satan, sin, sickness, poverty, curse and spiritual death have no authority over you. You are redeemed! Like the Israelites who put the blood of animals on their doorposts and the destroyer couldn't enter their house, similarly have faith in the blood of Jesus and speak, “I plead the blood of Jesus, there is victory in the blood of Jesus.” The blood of Jesus is your redemption price!

“The blood of Jesus has given me eternal and perfect redemption. I am redeemed. I have faith in the blood of Jesus. I plead the blood of Jesus. There is victory in the blood of Jesus. I live a honourable and a God fearing life because I honour the blood of Jesus.”

You have eternal life!

You have eternal life!
- Pastor Ashish Mathews

1 John 5:11‭-‬12
And this is the record, that God has given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.  He that has the Son has life; and he that has not the Son of God has not life.

If you have Jesus, you have eternal life. Believer, right now, you possess eternal life. Eternal life doesn't just refer to going to heaven when you die but it also includes living a glorious life right here on earth - days of heaven on earth - in your spiritual life, health, finances, marriage and every area of your life. The abundant life, the overflowing life, the glorious life that Jesus came to give you.

Eternal life is the life and nature of God. It's called ‘ZOE’ in Greek. It's the very life of God. The moment you accepted Jesus, eternal life was imparted to your spirit. You received the nature and life of God in your spirit and you become a child of God. Be conscious of what you possess. If only a sick believer knew this, he wouldn't stay sick anymore. If a defeated believer knew this, he wouldn't stay defeated anymore. John 1. 4,5 says ‘In Him was life, this life was the light of men. Light shines in darkness and darkness cannot overpower, defeat or conquer it.’

Eternal life is not something you are going to have, you have it now. When you live in the consciousness of what you possess in Christ and speak these realities, you will begin to shine in every arena of life, you become unstoppable and you become a blessing for many. Refuse to live a defeated life. Know whose you are, who you are and what you possess. Believe and speak! As you do, eternal life will manifest. Celebrate these realities! If these realities are established in your consciousness, your days of struggle, failure and fear are over forever. Eternal life makes you a champion, a victor and a world overcomer for it is the life and nature of God. Hallelujah.

“I have Jesus therefore I have eternal life right now. I have the life and nature of God in me. This life is working in me, through me, around me and for me causing me to shine ever brightly in every area of my life. I am the light of the world and I am unstoppable because the life of God is in me.”

Abiding power!

Abiding power!
- Pastor Ashish Mathews

I John 2:6
He who says he abides in Him ought himself also to walk just as He walked.

Something that is common in every genuine believer, in every genuine disciple of Jesus is that they walk exactly the way Jesus walked while He was on the earth. Abiding in Jesus causes you to walk exactly like Jesus walked.

The more you abide in Him, the more you resemble Him. The less you abide in Him, the less you resemble Him. Do you resemble Jesus? Does your walk resemble Him? Does your talk resemble Him? If yes, continue abiding in Him and let the world see Jesus in you and through you in a greater dimension. Hallelujah. If not, it's something to seriously think about. Why not? The issue is with abiding. Abiding in Him results in His resemblance in our life. Jesus said in John 15.5, ‘I am the vine, you are the branches, He who abides in me and I in him bears much fruit, for without me you can do nothing.’ Jesus is the Vine and everything you need as a branch is in the Vine. There is nothing you need that is outside the Vine. To abide simply means to stay connected, to dwell and to continue in the Vine.

Stay in the word. Stay in prayer. Continue confessing the Scriptures. Continue worshipping and praising the Lord. Continue attending and participating in the church faithfully. Continue doing the word passionately. Only look to Jesus and continue therein. Never give up. Always stay connected to Jesus, let His ability flow in, through you and let the world see Jesus in you.

“I abide in Jesus, my Vine. His ability flows in me. His Spirit works in and through me. I resemble Jesus in everything I do. I walk like Him, I talk like Him and I live like Him. Jesus is my Lord.”

Your part in the New Covenant!

Your part in the New Covenant!
- Pastor Ashish Mathews

I John 3:23
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.

Thank God we are in the New Covenant - a coveanant with God made in the blood of Jesus. The new covenant is better than the old covenant and is based on better promises.

God's part is your Shalom - all round prosperity. Your part in the new covenant is FAITH and LOVE. Faith in Jesus and walk in love towards one another. Galatians 5.6 says, ‘For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision avails anything, but faith working through love.’ In the New Covenant, we trust the works of Jesus - His finished works, His present work in us and through us by the Holy Spirit, His ability, His resources, His name, His word and His love for us. The old covenant is based on man's ability but the new covenant is based on God's ability. When you trust Him, grace is released because faith is the only door, the only access to grace (God's ability). His ability helps you do more than you can ever do with your own ability. Walking in love towards one another keeps you in a position to receive an uninterrupted flow of the benefits of the New Covenant. Always stay on the love line. Stick to the love line. Abide in love. Walk in love. God is Love. Faith works through Love. No Love, No faith. No faith, No grace.

As you do your part in the New Covenant, you will begin to experience an overflow of blessings, like you have never experienced before. Trust Jesus and do what He says. Believe God loves you and Love one another. Our Father can do outstanding things in and through a person who believes and trusts in Jesus and walks in love towards others. For such a person, there are no impossibilities because all things are possible with God.

"I am in a new covenant with God - a covenant that is made in the blood of Jesus. I believe in Jesus and I walk in love. I experience the Shalom of God in every area of my life. The Greater One lives in me and I can do all things through Him. Hallelujah!"

Jesus, your Advocate!

Jesus, your Advocate!
- Pastor Ashish Mathews

I John 2:1
My little children, these things I write to you, so that you may not sin. And if anyone sins, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous.

The Spirit of God doesn't want us to sin because sin has consequences and if you keep sinning, you will eventually destroy yourself for the wages of sin is death.

If a believer sins, he loses his confidence before God. Satan condemns and accuses a believer when he sins and he doesn't feel like praying any more, he doesn't want to read the word any more and doesn't want to go to church anymore. He feels God is angry at him and doesn't love him anymore. God's love is not based on your works. God loves you because God is Love and because He honours the blood of Jesus. If you sin, remember you have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous. An advocate is a lawyer who pleads for another's cause or case. Jesus is the payment for our sins. His blood has wiped out our sins. He doesn't plead your case based on your works, He pleads with the Father based on His blood and His finished works. There is no wrath for a believer, there is no condemnation, no guilt and no punishment for a believer because Jesus is our Advocate. Be established in this reality! Never slow down!

Knowing  Jesus as your Advocate will restore your confidence before God, will develop righteousness consciousness and will restore your fellowship with God. Anytime you sin, run to Jesus your Advocate by confessing your sins, confessing the advocacy of Jesus, confessing the blood of Jesus and receive your forgiveness. Satan would love to accuse, condemn and insult you. But you remind the devil that you have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous. This doesn't give you freedom to sin more but rather reveals the immense grace, love and mercy of Jesus so that you sin no more. Let nothing stop you. If you fall, get up and keep running - Jesus, your Advocate!

"Anytime I sin, I have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous. He is the payment for my sins. His blood has wiped out my sins. If I make a mistake, I will not shrink back but rather I will run to Jesus for He is my Advocate. Thank you Lord for your immense love, grace and mercy. I sin no more."

God is light.

God is light.
- Pastor Ashish Mathews

I John 1:5
This is the message which we have heard from Him and declare to you, that God is light and in Him is no darkness at all.

Knowing God will help you trust Him easily. Not just knowing about Him from others, but knowing Him personally through the word of God and through the Holy Spirit. The more you know Him, the more you can trust Him and walk with Him accordingly. Light and darkness cannot walk together. Light walks with light. Darkness walks with darkness.

God is light and there is no darkness in Him, no darkness at all. Thank God for the word of God which reveals the character of our Father God. No one has been more misunderstood than God. Satan loves to create misunderstandings on God's character and by doing so He wants to distract your trust and mix light and darkness. So it's important to get established on God's character through the word of God so that we won't be deceived by the lies of the devil. God doesn't have light, He is light and in Him is no darkness at all. God is pure there are no impurities in Him at all. God is holy, there is no sin, no wickedness in Him at all. God is truth, there is no deceit in Him at all. God is righteous, there is no unrighteousness in Him at all.

Darkness, wickedness, impurity, unrighteousness, unholy and unclean things and sin cannot be found in God. God doesn't have such things in Him. The more you know your Father, the greater your confidence in God will be and the stronger your fellowship with Him will be. In Him is no darkness at all. Darkness comes from the devil because He is full of darkness. But God is light and everything that comes out of Him is light. His word is light. His Spirit is light. Darkness wants to hide but light walks boldly in the open - light has nothing to hide, light exposes darkness. We are children of light and as we stay connected to Him, we shine ever brightly. The more we know Him, the more we know ourselves, the deeper our fellowship will be and the greater our dominion will be. Hallelujah!

"My Father is light. He has no darkness, no wickedness, no impurities and no sin. He is light, everything He does is light. Everything He says is light. There is no deceit in Him. I am child of light and I stay connected to the Father of lights and I shine ever brightly."

Live fearlessly!

Live fearlessly!
- Pastor Ashish Mathews

I John 4:18
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.

For some the thought of living fearlessly is just a dream, never a reality. Some even say, let's manage fear. You don't have to manage fear, you can kick fear out of your life and live a fearless life.

The key to living a fearless life is LOVE - Know that God loves you. When you know and believe that God loves you - you will be able to live a fearless life. Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous person, though for a good person someone might even possibly dare to die. But God demonstrates His love for us - while we were still sinners, weak and ungodly, Christ died for us.  He gave His best at our worst. Hallelujah! He who did not spare His own Son but gave Him up for you, how will He not also along with Him give you everything else?

God is Love and God loves you. He loves you as much as He loves Jesus. He will never give up on you. Believer, there is nothing you can do to make Him love you more and there is nothing you can do to make Him love you less. There is nothing you can do to stop Him from loving you. God loves you! The more established you become in the revelation of His love for you, the more fearless your life will be! You will love God and love others fearlessly! Live fearlessly!

"I know and believe God loves me. I am loved by God. I have no fear. If God is for me, who can be against me? If God loves me, who can touch me? There is no fear, no loss and no failure in love. I receive God's love and I always win for God is on my side."

See the invisible.

See the invisible.
- Pastor Ashish Mathews

II Corinthians 4:18
while we do not look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporary, but the things which are not seen are eternal.

The Apostle Paul faced tremendous persecution for living and preaching the Gospel of Jesus Christ. He says in II Corinthians 4:8‭-‬9, “We  are  hard-pressed on every side, yet not crushed; we  are perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed—”

Inspite of all the challenges he faced, He didn't faint or become hopeless but kept moving and finally finished his course with joy. How? - today's verse gives us the key : Look at invisible things, not at the visible, for the visible things are temporary but the invisible are eternal. Where are you looking at? The Apostle Paul would have quit if he kept his eyes on what happened in the visible. He knew life is more than physical, life is spiritual. He says in II Corinthians 4:16‭-‬17, “Therefore we do not lose heart. Even though our outward man is perishing, yet the inward man is being renewed day by day. For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, is working for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory”. Many people quit, become hopeless and exhausted because their eyes are on the outward man and on the light affliction, which is for a moment. See the invisible!

The Apostle Paul refused to look at the visible temporary things, He chose to look at the invisible eternal things - at the inward man, He chose to look at the exceeding and eternal weight of glory prepared by the light affliction. What an attitude! Glory to God. See the invisible! Do the impossible! The Greater One lives in you! Keep your eyes on the word. Keep your eyes on Jesus. Keep your eyes on your calling. Go on with Jesus!

“I live life with my eyes on the invisible eternal things. I will not faint and I will not quit. My eyes are on Jesus and on His word and therefore my inward man is being renewed day by day and I am going from glory to glory. Hallelujah!”

By faith into grace

By faith into grace.
- Pastor Ashish Mathews

Romans 5:2 NKJV
through whom also we have access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.

The focus of the Old covenant is man's ability. The focus of the New covenant is God's ability - which is also called GRACE. Through Jesus, we enter the new covenant of God's grace.

A person can be in the new covenant but live according to the old covenant. Jesus said if you put new wine in old wine skins, the wine skins will burst and the wine will be poured out - both will be destroyed. Man's ability always leads to bondage. God's ability always leads to freedom. You are not in the old but in the new covenant. You are in Christ and you have a covenant with God in the blood of Jesus. In the New Covenant, God lives in you and we live by God's ability. No matter where you are and what you are doing - Remember! - His grace, His ability is sufficient. You can be an excellent person, an excellent husband, excellent wife, excellent employee, excellent businessman, excellent student, excellent minister, excellent in whatever position you are in - not by your ability but by God's ability. Jesus, full of grace and truth has made God's ability available to us through His blood and through His death, burial and resurrection.

How do you access God's ability?  - By faith. You access this ability by faith. Faith is the only access to grace. As you start believing and speaking God's word, grace will be released. Believe and Speak the new covenant word realities consistently. See! - God living in you, see yourself walking and living in God's ability. You are unstoppable. There is nothing that you can't overcome, all things are possible. Everything is possible for the one who believes - when you believe, God's ability is released and all things are possible for God.

"I live under Grace - God's ability and not under Law - my ability. I overcome, I conquer, I win because Christ is in me and I live through Him. Hallelujah. No matter where I am and what I am doing, I walk and live in excellence because His grace is sufficient. I believe it and I receive it now. In Jesus name, Amen."

God of all comfort.

God of all comfort.
- Pastor Ashish Mathews

II Corinthians 1:3‭-‬4
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort those who are in any trouble, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.

When you make a mistake, experience a setback, face a challenge or are under pressure, not many people stay around. Our loving heavenly Father, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort doesn't run away, He comforts us in all our troubles.

To comfort means to stay by one's side, to strengthen, to encourage, to instruct and to teach. Isn't it amazing to know that our Father sticks to our side in tough times and doesn't condemn, accuse and insult us? - but rather comforts us, strengthens us, encourages us and instructs us so we don't give up and with His help overcome triumphantly. People may leave you but your Father will never leave you nor forsake you. He will stay with you right where you are and comfort you till you come back on top. Hallelujah!

You are not alone in this journey of life. Unload all your worries, anxieties and concerns on Jesus and receive His comfort. Don't feel sorry for yourself, don't engage in a pity party - Receive the Father's comfort and begin comforting and strengthening people around you. Become an agent of comfort!

"My Father comforts me in all my troubles and challenges, therefore I will never remain disappointed or discouraged. I am an agent of comfort. Wherever I go, I comfort and strengthen other people. I do not judge, accuse or condemn people, I comfort them with the comfort of God."

In remembrance of me!

In remembrance of me.
- Pastor Ashish Mathews

I Corinthians 11:24‭-‬25
and when He had given thanks, He broke it and said, “Take, eat; this is My body which is broken for you; do this in remembrance of Me.”  In the same manner He also took the cup after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in My blood. This do, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of Me.”

Whenever we partake of the Lord's supper or the communion, we are to do it in remembrance of Jesus. Whether you take it alone in your house or with others in church, remember the heavy price Jesus paid for you.

Remember that you are in a new covenant with God - it's a better covenant with better promises. Remember that your sins are not covered as in the old covenant but are completely wiped out by the blood of Jesus. Remember that you not a servant or a friend of God, you have become a child of the Most High God and God has become your Abba Father because of the sacrifice of Jesus. Remember that not only are your sins wiped out but you have been recreated in Christ - you are a new creation, the old has passed away and behold all things have become new. Remember God doesn't dwell in the Holy of Holies of the earthly tabernacle any more but He dwells in you - for you are the temple of the Holy Spirit. Thank God for Jesus - for who He is and for what He has done - we have unlimited fellowship and unlimited righteousness. Jesus said, 'whenever you take communion, do it in remembrance of me.'

Remember the love of Jesus for you - the price He paid, the extent He went to save you, to redeem you and to recreate you. It's Love! Only Love! Always Love! Jesus loves you. The Lord's supper is a reminder of how much Jesus loves you. Remember, you are His beloved. Nothing could stop Jesus to get you back - even if it costs Him His own life. This is Love!

"Every time I take communion, I remember the Lord Jesus, I remember How much He loves me, the price He paid for me and that I am in the new covenant. I proclaim that I am His beloved and nothing can separate me from His love. The Lord's supper is a reminder of how much the Lord loves me. Hallelujah"

Everyday charge yourself.

I Corinthians 14:4
He who speaks in a tongue edifies himself...

Speaking in tongues charges, builds, improves and edifies your spirit. Like you charge your phone everyday, charge your spirit too by speaking in tongues on a daily basis.

When you speak in tongues, you are not speaking to men but to God, no man understands your language, even you can't understand it. As you speak to God in unknown tongues you edify yourself. You become stronger in the spirit. You become sensitive to the Holy Spirit's unction and leading. Your spiritual senses become sharp. You are able to discern between the right and wrong as well as have the ability to do the right thing. Your level of understanding and insight into spiritual matters increases and you begin to see life from a higher perspective. You began to see and know hidden things supernaturally. I am telling you, speaking in tongues is powerful.

More than a strong body and a strong mind, a strong spirit is the need of the hour because life is spiritual. No matter how strong your body is or how sharp your mind is, without a strong spirit, life is uncertain and unpredictable - anything can happen - like a wave of the ocean tossed and turned by the winds. Take charge and charge your spirit daily by speaking in tongues! You will excel in your life!

"I speak in tongues daily. I build my spirit and charge it by speaking in tongues every day of my life. My spirit is becoming sensitive to the Holy Spirit and I have access to divine insight and mysteries, therefore I am always at the top and everything I do excels"

Love is greater!

Love is greater!
- Pastor Ashish Mathews

I Corinthians 13:2
And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing.

Love is greater than all the spiritual gifts. Love is greater than faith and hope. Love is greater than all the revelations you can ever have. God is Love.

As a born again child of God, you have the love of God in you through the Holy Spirit. But having God's love in you and walking in love are two different things. Acknowledge that God loves you, you have His love in you and walk in it. No matter how much we know or how big mountains we move, if we are not walking in love, we are nothing. God is Love. Every time you say God, you are saying Love. Every time you say Love, you are saying God. Love is more than words, Love is action. I John 3:18 says, 'My little children, let us not love in word or in tongue, but in deed and in truth.' Love is what makes life beautiful and ministry effective. Love releases power. Love irritates the devil and drives him crazy because he cannot touch a love person.

Major on the love of God. Excel in the love of God. Become a love giant. Know and believe that God loves you unconditionally, passionately and fearlessly. We love others because God first loved us. Loving others acknowledges that you believe God loves you. God loved us so much that He gave His only begotten Son to die for us. Love is the key to victory! Jesus said, if you walk in love, the world will know you are my disciples. Love is greater!

"I excel in the love of God. I know and believe God loves me and therefore I love others fearlessly. Whatever I do prospers and is effective because I do everything in love. Love is my King. Jesus is my Lord."

Unworthy manner

Unworthy manner
- Pastor Ashish Mathews

I Corinthians 11:27‭-‬28
Therefore whoever eats this bread or drinks this cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord. But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of the bread and drink of the cup.

Did you know that you can partake of the Lord's supper in an unworthy manner - in a way that dishonours the Lord? The Apostle Paul says examine yourself before you eat of the bread and drink of the cup.

In the Corinthian church, there were divisions among her members. Some would take communion before others - some would eat, others would drink and few others will be hungry. No order, no unity and no oneness. The body and blood of Jesus represented the oneness of and in the body of Christ. We are one. One family. One body. No divisions. Galatians 3.28 says, 'There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female: for we are all one in Christ Jesus.' The church is one body with many members. When we partake of the body and blood of Jesus which represents the oneness of and in the body of Christ with strife, divisions and envy in our hearts, we dishonour the Lord and partake of the Lord's supper in an unworthy manner. We are one family. Rejoice with those who rejoice, mourn with those who mourn.

Next time, when you take communion, examine yourself. Forgive your brother and your sister in Christ because we are one in Christ. Forgive. Love. Bless. Pray for one another. Stand for one another. Support one another. Believe God's best for one another. We are ONE. Eradicate envy, strife and divisions and let Love be your King.

"I am a member of the body of Christ. We are one - many members but one body. I walk in love towards my brothers and sisters in Christ. I honour the Lord, I honour His body and His blood. Love is my King and I refuse to be offended. I put no stumbling block in my brothers path and I do them no harm. Love is my nature!"

Be a soul winner!

Be a soul winner!
- Pastor Ashish Mathews

1 Corinthians 9:19
Though I am free and belong to no one, I have made myself a slave to everyone, to win as many as possible.

The Apostle Paul was a soul winner. He was consumed with winning souls for Jesus - everywhere He went He won souls. He wanted more and more people to know the Gospel - what God has done for humanity in and through Jesus Christ. Are you a soul winner? Become a soul winner!

Proverbs 11.30 says, ..He who wins souls is wise. Every believer is a witness of the resurrection of Jesus. Your life is proof that Jesus is alive. Tell the people in your world what Jesus has done for you and what Jesus has done for them. You can't be quiet after all that the Lord has done for you. Don't live like nothing happened. Jesus said, 'Go and preach the Gospel to every creature.' Who will share the Gospel with your colleagues, your relatives, your friends, your family? Many times we are waiting for some one else to do it. But God put you there to testify and to witness that Jesus is alive. Share the good news! We are not ashamed of the Gospel of Christ for it is the power of God to save everyone who believes.

Ask the Holy Spirit to touch people and convict them as you preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ and as you pray for them in the name of Jesus. Do not be afraid. You are not alone. The mighty Holy Spirit is working in you, through you, for you and will touch every person you share the Gospel with. Just step out! Make a decision and the power will flow! Be a soul winner! Go on with Jesus!

"I am a soul winner. I win souls. I share and tell people what Jesus has done for me and for them. I share the Gospel of Jesus Christ boldly. I work with the Holy Spirit. As I speak, the Holy Spirit touches the heart and mind of every hearer and a great harvest is reaped in the name of Jesus. Heaven rejoices for the great harvest of souls through my life"

God's temple.

God's temple
- 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?

I am sure you have seen temples in and around your locality. This verse tells us, our body is the temple of the Holy Spirit. You are the temple of God. God dwells in you. Next time, when you see a temple, remember God doesn't live in man made temples, He lives in you.

In the Old testament, God's presence was limited to the ark of the covenant in the Holy of holies and therefore restricted only for a few anointed people. But in the New testament, the blood of Jesus has given us access to God's presence - the Holy Spirit dwells in every born again child of God.  Meditate on this for a while : God dwells in me. You are the Ark of God's presence. What the people of old covenant couldn't enjoy, we enjoy because of the blood of Jesus - fellowship with God. Be conscious that God lives in you. Be conscious of His presence all the time, no matter where you are or what you are doing. In everything and always give Him thanks because He dwells in you. He is all you need and He lives in you. Christ in you!

Offering your body to Him is one of the most powerful ways you can express your gratitude to the Lord for all that He has done for you. This is our spiritual worship. As you glorify God with your body, the Spirit of God will use you mightily to bring more glory to Jesus. Go on with Jesus!

"My body is the temple of the Holy Spirit. God lives, dwells and abides in me. I am conscious of this reality and I offer my body as living sacrifice to the Lord. I walk in constant fellowship with the Holy Spirit and therefore I prosper in everything I do."

Refuse to be a baby. Grow up!

Refuse to be a baby. Grow up!
- Pastor Ashish Mathews

I Corinthians 3:1
And I, brethren, could not speak to you as to spiritual people but as to carnal, as to babes in Christ.

You cannot talk to a baby as you talk to a mature person. There's a difference. Babies cannot understand the way mature people understand. Babies will hinder the work of God. Refuse to be a baby. Grow up!

In the kingdom of God, there are babes and there are mature ones. Baby believers, also called as carnal believers are the ones whose minds are still dominated by worldly things. Mature believers, also called as spiritual believers are the ones who minds are dominated by spiritual things - the things of God. I Peter 2:2 says, 'as newborn babes, desire the pure milk of the word, that you may grow thereby.' Every believer in the kingdom of God starts as a baby - no one is born mature. Growing up - becoming mature is a choice. Staying as a baby is a choice. Give the word first and final place in your life. Let it occupy the real estate of your mind and capture it - becoming word strongholds in your mind.

These are the last days and the attacks of the enemy are fiercer than ever before, you cannot afford to be a baby anymore. The word of God is your food, desire it and feed on it consistently and you will begin to grow and discern between good and evil, between the good and the best. Refuse to stay where you are! Keep feeding! Keep moving!

"I refuse to be a baby believer. I desire the word of God and I feed on it consistently. I am growing in grace and in the knowledge of Jesus. My mind is not on the things of the world but I put my mind on the things of God. I am spiritual - walking by faith, walking in love, led by the Holy Spirit and rooted and grounded in God's word."

Deep things of God.

Deep things of God.
- Pastor Ashish Mathews

I Corinthians 2:9‭-‬10
But as it is written: “Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, Nor have entered into the heart of man The things which God has prepared for those who love Him.” But God has revealed them to us through His Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God.

God has prepared outstanding things for you - things that no human eye has seen, no human ear has heard and no human heart has ever conceived. Such things are beyond human intellect and comprehension. You cannot know them through your physical senses or your mental faculties.

The only way you can know them is by the Holy Spirit. He is the gateway into the deep things of God. It's not by power, nor by might but only by the Holy Spirit. God desires each one of His children to know His deep things and this is why He has given us the Holy Spirit. Believer, you have the Spirit of God living on the inside of you. As you become sensitive to the Holy Spirit, He will lead and guide you into these deep secrets.

Desire to go deeper, refuse to stay at the shore. The deeper you go in the things of God, the higher you will rise in life and the stronger your foundation will be. As you go deeper, you will be healthier, wealthier, and wiser. God has freely given us these things, so take a dive in the word of God with the Holy Spirit and go deep to know the depths of God. Go on with Jesus!

"I refuse to stay at the shore. I am going deeper in the things of God by the Holy Spirit. Deeper in grace and deeper in the knowledge of Jesus. I am going higher, ever higher in life. Thank you Jesus!"

Partner with Jesus!

Partner with Jesus!
- Pastor Ashish Mathews

I Corinthians 1:9
God is faithful, by whom you were called into the fellowship of His Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.

Believer, God has called you to partner with Jesus - walk with Him, work with Him and live with Him. Fellowship results in Dominion.

Your success in any and all areas depends on your fellowship with Jesus. Jesus said, 'I am the Vine, you are the branches. He who abides in me and I in him will bear much fruit, for without me you can do nothing.' Abiding results in much fruit. God desires each of His children to live a prosperous, successful and fruitful life. Jesus said, You didn't choose me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit and that your fruit should remain. God is interested in every area of your life and wants to help you succeed. God is committed to your success. Your success is on His mind. What a loving God we have!

Partner with Jesus - partner with the word of God and with the Holy Spirit who dwells in every believer. Learn to walk on the word consistently and have an intimate relationship with the Holy Spirit who dwells in you. Your partnership with Jesus will take you to the very summit of prosperity and opulence. You will never miss God's will. Be blessed!

"I partner with Jesus. His words abide in me and I abide in Him. I am led by His Spirit. He is the vine and I am the branch. My life is a life of much fruit, dominion and consistent victories. Hallelujah!"

You are a saint.

You are a saint.
- Pastor Ashish Mathews

1 Corinthians 1:2
to the assembly of God that is in Corinth, to those sanctified in Christ Jesus, called saints, with all those calling upon the name of our Lord Jesus Christ in every place--both theirs and ours:

When you hear the word 'saint' people think it's only for those who lived a holy life, did many charitable works and made a lot of sacrifices.

This verse tells us, if you are in Christ, you are sanctified and you are called as a saint. You are a saint right now. The moment you got born again, the moment you came in Christ, you became a saint. The word 'saint' means 'set apart ones'. Set apart from sin. Set apart from the ways of the world. Set apart for God. Set apart for His call. Set apart to live holy and a life that pleases Him.

You are a saint - as holy, as righteous, as pure, as blamless and as clean as Jesus Himself. Every member in the body of Christ is a saint. Your faith in the works and blood of Jesus has made you a saint. Saints, what a great God we serve! Jesus is Lord! The best is yet to come!

"In Christ, I am sanctified and I am a saint. I know who I am. I am what God says I am. I am set apart for God. Hallelujah!"

Live Holy!

Live Holy!
- Pastor Ashish Mathews

Philippians 2:13
For God is working in you, giving you the desire and the power to do what pleases him.

Without holiness, no one will see the Lord or experience the manifestation of His goodness. Your sanctification is God's will.

Living holy simply means living a life that is seperate from the worldly ways and dedicated, devoted to God. Some say, it's impossible to live a holy life in this dark wicked world. If you try in your ability or will power, you will never be able to live a holy life. The presence of Christ in you makes you as holy as Jesus himself. Believer, you are holy and therefore you live holy. This revelation is the first step in living a holy life. Christ is your sanctification.

Abide in Him. Dwell on His word. Stay connected to the Vine. As you do it, the Holy Spirit will change your desires, He will create in you holy and godly desires and will give you the power to fulfill those desires. The key however is to stay connected! As you abide, He works. The moment you stop abiding, the work stops. What a great God we serve!  Hallelujah!

"Jesus is my Vine and I stay connected to Him. His life, His ability and His sufficiency flows in me and I live a holy life because I am as holy as Jesus.Christ is my sanctification."

Unlimited potential

Unlimited Potential
- Pastor Ashish Mathews

Philippians 3:20
But we are citizens of heaven, and it is from there that we expect a Deliverer, the Lord Yeshua the Messiah.

You are a citizen of heaven. Believer this is not a promise, it's new testament reality, a fact.

What limits Indians cannot limit you because you are a citizen of heaven. Don't live as a citizen of any earthly country, live as a heavenly citizen. You have unlimited potential - there is no limit to what you can achieve. Earthly citizens are limited, heavenly citizens are unlimited.

Do not limit yourself because citizens of heaven have no limits. Nothing is impossible for you. For one who comes from above is above all. Discover yourself! Know thyself! Be You! Live You! Born to Fly!

"I am a citizen of heaven. I have unlimited potential and I ever increasing with the increase of God. There is no limits to what I can achieve. I have no limits. Born to fly. Hallelujah! "

Unlimited possibilities

Unlimited possibilities
- Pastor Ashish Mathews

Philippians 4:13
I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.

How many things? ALL THINGS. The moment Christ came in you and you came in Christ, you became a new being with endless possibilities.

Never say, I am unable to do the will of God. You are able, you are well able because Christ is your ability, Christ is your sufficiency and Christ is in you. You are well able to do God's word. You are well able to fulfill your God given calling, to live a holy life and to finish your course with joy. Never doubt! Only believe and walk on with Jesus!

"There are no impossibilities for me. I can do all things because Christ is my ability and my sufficiency. I always win and I only win. Jesus is my Lord"

Cheerful giver!

Cheerful giver!
- Pastor Ashish Mathews

2 Corinthians 9:7
You must each decide in your heart how much to give. And don’t give reluctantly or in response to pressure. “For God loves a person who gives cheerfully.”

God loves a cheerful giver, one who loves to give and gives joyously. Enjoy your giving! Rejoice that you get an opportunity to raise your income supernaturally! Hallelujah!

Giving to God is a privilege because you are not giving to someone who lacks something, you are giving to the One who owns everything. When I give based on God's word with a cheerful heart, knowing that God loves me and that my giving is for my benefit then things begin to change in my life and in my finances. When you lack word knowledge concerning giving, you complain, grumble and think people are trying to steal your money and therefore you hold tightly to your resources blocking your own prosperity. Shake off the fear and step out of the boat on the word of God. Refuse to be poor. No seed of Abraham should ever be poor or be in lack. Never.

A proper understanding of the character of Jesus, of His word and of His love for you will make you a cheerful giver. You will not only love to give but you will live to give. For the cheerful giver, the word says, God is able to make all grace abound towards you, that you always having all sufficiency in all things may abound to every good work. Your seeds will be multiplied and the fruits of your righteousness will be increased. What a joy! What a blessing! What a privilege! Give like never before!

"I am a cheerful giver. I love to give and I live to give. I give based on God's word and out of love for Jesus. I live an all sufficient life for my God has made all grace abound towards me. Hallelujah!"

The power of meditation!

The power of meditation.
- Pastor Ashish Mathews

Psalms 1:2
But his delight is in the law of the Lord, And in His law he meditates day and night.

Word meditation is vital in the life of a believer. Without meditation, there is no revelation and without revelation there is no transformation.

Lack of meditation results in dryness of life, flesh begings to dominate the spirit, worldly things become more pleasing and spiritual things lose interest. Always make yourself available for word meditation. Word meditation will enable you to be a consistent doer of God's word. Take a verse or a portion of Scripture and think on it. Write it down and ponder over it. Say those verses over and over again under your breath. Ask the Holy Spirit to give you insights and revelations from those verses. As you do, the word will become alive for you and will start talking to you. You will experience joy and freedom of the Holy Spirit. You will never be the same.

Meditation takes the word down into your spirit. Your spirit soaks and absorbs the word and becomes one with it. The word in your spirit and in your mouth will change any situation around. Lack of meditation keeps the word only in your head and it won't do you any good. Dwell on the word and let your success be seen by all. Glory!

"God's word is my delight and I meditate on it day and night. I am one with the word and it is changing my thoughts, my words and my actions. Everything I do prospers!"

Touch of gold.

Touch of gold.
- Pastor Ashish Mathews

Psalms 1:3
They are like trees planted along the riverbank, bearing fruit each season. Their leaves never wither, and they prosper in all they do.

I am sure you might have heard this statement, 'Everything he touches turns to gold.' It talks about consistent and lasting success. Think about this, success in everything you do. What a life!

For some it's just a dream, for others it's next to impossible. Some conclude that it's only for a few lucky people. Believer, this is your life - a life flowing with unending success and prosperity in every step. Verse 3 is a result of verse 1 and verse 2. Psalms 1:1‭-‬2 says, 'Blessed is the man Who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, Nor stands in the path of sinners, Nor sits in the seat of the scornful; But his delight is in the law of the Lord , And in His law he meditates day and night.' Because unending success is a result, therefore it's a choice.

Meditate on the word day and night. Think, ponder on it, reflect on it and study it day and night. Chew it day and night like a chewing gum. Let the word become your delight, your thrill, your happiness and your joy. Let the word become your first love and your top most priority. Everything a word man touches turns to gold. Hallelujah!

"God's word is my delight and I meditate on it day and night. My life is an unending stream of success and prosperity. Everything I touch turns out to be successful. Thank you Lord Jesus!"

Sun and Shield

Sun and Shield
- Pastor Ashish Mathews

Psalms 84:11
For the Lord God is our sun and our shield. He gives us grace and glory. The Lord will withhold no good thing from those who do what is right.

The word of God is so precious, so enriching, so delicious. There is nothing like the word of the living God. This verse is so powerful. Hallelujah.

The Lord God is our sun therefore we always shine, we are never in darkness, in confusion and chaos. We walk in the higher knowledge of Gods word - full of energy and full of life. The Lord God is our shield therefore we are supernaturally protected and no fiery arrows of the wicked one can penetrate this shield. No sickness. No fear. No terrorist attacks. No evil. No harm. No loss. Be conscious and celebrate the word of God. Unless the word becomes real to you, you won't be able to enjoy it's benefits. Meditate!

No good thing will the Lord withhold from those who do what is right. What is right in this world full of views and opinions of people? The word of God is right. When you walk on Gods word, you are doing what is right. You will never lack good things in life because you honour God's word. Keep speaking God's word. Keep doing God's word. Keep celebrating God's word. Never give up. The best is yet to come.

"The Lord is my sun and my shield. I am never in darkness, I am always in the light, moving higher and higher in God. I am supernaturally protected. I am a consistent doer of God's word and my life is full of good things. Thank you Father, in Jesus name, Amen"

Talk TO problems!

Talk TO problems!
- Pastor Ashish Mathews

Mark 11:14
Then he said to the tree, “May no one ever eat fruit from you again.” And his disciples heard him say it.

What do you do when there is a mountain in front of you? When there is darkness all around you? When there are dry bones staring at you? It's simple : YOU TALK!

Jesus is our standard. When Jesus came across a challenge, whether it's a fig tree, winds and waves or high fever, He would start talking to them - not ABOUT them but TO them. God spoke to darkness. Ezekial spoke to dry bones. Are you facing a challenge today? Is there a mountain in front of you? Don't beg God to do something. Start talking to it in the name of Jesus. Whethers it's sickness, pain, debt, bad habits, fear or whatever it is - start talking to it. Refuse to talk about it. Look at the verse again, Jesus spoke TO the fig tree. Jesus said in Mark 11.23 “Truly  I tell you, if anyone says TO this mountain, ‘Go, throw yourself into the sea,’ and does not doubt in their heart but believes that what they say will happen, it will be done for them.” Take some time and do some talking. Take the word and put it in your mouth and start talking. Keep speaking the word, never stop talking.

Words once spoken starts working in the spirit realm - ignorance of this reality is one of the reason why many people quit speaking. Because they don't see anything happening in the physical, natural, visible realm, they quit. Always remember, things happen first in the spirit realm and are then manifested in the natural realm. Talk! Keep talking! Never stop talking! See the word and speak the word! Hallelujah!

"I refuse to talk ABOUT my mountains. I talk TO it and I command, Be removed and be thrown into the sea, in the name of Jesus. I am unstoppable in Christ and I am fulfilling my destiny in God with excellence, joy and holiness. Jesus is Lord"

Secret place!

Secret place!
- Pastor Ashish Mathews

Psalms 91:1‭-‬2
He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the Lord , “He is my refuge and my fortress; My God, in Him I will trust.”

We live in a very dangerous time and it's getting worse by the day - climate change, terrorist attacks, deadly sicknesses, failing economy, unemployment, lay offs, corruption, injustice and fear everywhere. How do you live fearlessly in such times?

There is a secret place in God. This secret place is a place of supernatural protection - what takes the world down cannot touch you. Though we are in this world, we are not of it, we don't belong to it. We come from another place - heaven. We are under the government of heaven and we live by the economy of heaven. The rich cannot buy this secret place with all their riches. Money can't give you access to this place. The only access to the secret place of God is Jesus. If you have received Jesus, you are in the secret place of God - where nothing can harm you and no evil will befall you. You are supernaturally protected! You are safe irrespective of what's happens in and to the world.

The only way you can stay in this secret place is by living the word life. Acknowledge, speak and celebrate that you are in the secret place of the Most High God. Be bold to speak. Be bold to declare. Be bold to give Jesus glory. Goliath is always speaking. You need to speak to Goliath. If you don't speak to Goliath, then very soon you will be speaking Goliath's language. When people are afraid and running here and there searching for safe places, you will be still and rejoicing because you are in the secret place - the place of supernatural protection.

"I am in the secret place of the Most High God because Jesus is my Lord. I keep my mind on the word of God and therefore I am in perfect peace. Nothing will harm me and no evil will befall me. I am supernaturally protected. What a life I live in Christ!"
