DELIVER US FROM EVIL ! - Luke 4:11

As Christians we should always pray to God to help us  to not  fall into temptation just as stated in the Lord’s Prayer .Luke 11:4b ‘lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil’ – the devil is the one that leads people into evil, he is not only the father of liars but also the beginner of all evil. One of the fundamentals of this Christian faith is to know that our salvation is not given by our power but by the grace and power of God through Jesus Christ. Our spirits are to be led by the spirit of God every second that we live if we are to overcome in every way. Jesus stressed this out in Mathew 26:41 when He said ‘watch and pray that you enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing but the flesh is weak.

The devil  well-knowing that God loves man and also that God hates evil , in order  to disconnect man from the loving God , he(the devil) plants evil in the path of man to make him fail to live the way the Lord desires him to live. The people that are free from the bondage of sin are not free because of their own power but only because of Our Lord Jesus who won at Calvary, nevertheless HE (Jesus) tells us to watch and pray always. It works in almost the same way; it’s about what you believe and whom you obey. Watch and pray – Jesus tells us here to watch and pray, this part that says watch is not solely focused on the physical but Christ is also telling us to watch in the spirit .When your spirit is connected with God, He will open up to you the plan of the enemy and you will not fall for his deceit, just like am going to show you in one experience. Because the devil is a spirit, all his plans are prepared in the spiritual realm before they show up in the physical.

I got a vision a few months ago , this happened one night as I was sitting on  my bed trying to check out a few scriptures , i felt my spirit coming out of me , next I saw my self moving in space as if I was being carried by the wind  into a place that looked like a desert. I happened to stop at one point but still floating in space , here I looked down just below me and saw two men seated on a big stone – as I stayed there a few minutes , I realised they were discussing about me , one of them looked like an Arab-that’s  according to the way he was dressed. Now the other man asked the first one, saying ‘how are we going to stop this guy and that ministry and the first one replied saying ‘if I was able to stand in the presence of Moses in Egypt – I therefore will be able to stand in his way too. Here I realised that these were spirits of darkness, noting that they were talking of having existed thousands of years ago. The second demon asked the other, how are you going to do that and it explained the details of the plan. A few days later, the devil tried to trap me in the very way the Lord had shown me but I knew about every detail of this plan and so I got out of it the victor by Christ Jesus!

You can pray to God to open your spiritual eyes and ears, and He will guide you at least with those you could not easily resist or avoid -   remember to watch and pray always
Glory to God!!!!!

Faith in the Spirit of God


The Holy Spirit refers to the third person among God .The faith of this trinity is the most fundamental and core faith. God gave me the grace to get to know the Holy Spirit just a few days after accepting Jesus as my Lord and Savoir. I got a chance to hear from the Holy Spirit many Bible truths as He taught me about things like the origin of sin , salvation, how the devil was cast out from heaven ,how the entire bible was written plus many more things some of which I may not write here now. He told me all this in speech in a space of about 0ne week and  I’ve not forgotten any of them , it was in line with the King James version bible account though He(did not tell me while quoting scripture) it all was just as the Bible says.

I believe God did this to me because He was preparing me for His work .I was the kind of person who didn’t just believe things so may be God did this to give me a foundation of my faith in Him .The reason the word of God is called the living word is because it is supposed to be lived – God expects us to live it – meaning it is not meant to be just for information but rather is a manual for life . In one of my first encounters with the Holy Spirit, He told me that I would receive a gift of visions (and this happened after a few days). God revealed to me His word and His will upon my life and also the His coming Kingdom).

I know as a matter of fact that such truths cannot be known and understood unless one believes in the gospel of Salvation through Jesus Christ, here’s why!

1)      Because sinners are creatures while God is the far reaching One who created the vast universe and the entire man kind .Like this the truth of the trinity cannot be understood unless God by His Spirit reveals it to you.

2)      Because of transgressions, the hearts of human beings have been darkened by their sins .Just as nothing can be seen when a mirror is stained, the eyes of the hearts of sinners cannot see what the Triune God has done or is doing.

3)      Without the enlightment of the Holy Spirit, we cannot know the profundities of God’s heart. The Holy Spirit bears witness that the word of God is the truth (John 16:13). The Holy Spirit dwells in those who believe in the written word of God and works in them. The spirit of God is a gift permitted to those who believe in the remission of sin given by Jesus and that’s the reason we call our ministry ‘Gifted Divine’ – because indeed we believe we were gifted with a gift that’s divine – the Holy Spirit. We must therefore worship Him trust in Him , Love Him and obey Him
