The Freedom To Dream

 

I cannot continue to write about freedom on my freedom series without writing about the freedom to dream.

I love the Christian faith, why wouldn't I?

Why wouldn't I love a faith that offers me the ability to dream?!

I'm not referring to only the dreams of the night we have when we are fast asleep, I'm communicating more about the kind of dreams that allows us to be an active participant in it, the dreams where our senses are involved and our imagination comes alive. Dreams that allow us to use our creativity and have a creative part to play in it.

You should have a dream.

You should have mental pictures of who you want to be, what you want to achieve and where you are going.

Be free to use your imagination.

Your imagination was given to you by God, it's a gift!

It was the great scientist Albert Einstein who said "the man who has lost his imagination has lost his chance"

The chance and ability to dream and visualize is an integral part of freedom.

What you dream about and desire is what you will pursue, what you pursue is what you will have and achieve.

I love the Christian faith but more importantly I love God, God is a dreamer!

He had a dream, to create heaven and earth.

The three heavens, the universes and everything within them was once a dream in God's heart and mind.

With clarity, power, and precision He called His dream into existence. What He wanted to achieve was clear to Him.

Humanity was His dream, creation was His dream, extending His family was His dream.

Are you clear about who you are and what you want to achieve to God's glory?

It all starts with the ability to dream.

The Bible has a lot to say about dreams. It has a lot of information on seeing, visualizing, imagining, meditating and focusing.

I love the Christian faith because it teaches me to dream like my Creator.

Don't let anyone hinder you from achieving your dreams, and don't let anything stop you from dreaming. It's your right and a part of your freedom as a human being.

You used to dream and visualize a lot as a kid.

What happened to that ability? Don't lose it because you're now an adult or elderly.

Dream again.

Dream dreams, worthwhile dreams.

Dream your way to success!

Be free.

On The Matter Of Financial Freedom

 

Money is an important part of life and an integral part of the world we live in. As long as you live in this world you will need money and make use of money.

Your finances is your personal economy and it determines a lot in this physical world.

It is in the nature of human beings to be free and money gives you that option to a degree, it gives us some sense of freedom.

You are within your rights to seek financial freedom. The big question is how do you seek to be financially free, how are you going about it, how did you go about it if you achieved it already?

Is it in a God glorifying way or is it in a way that shows disregard for the Creator and suggests money has replaced God in your heart?

I have no doubt that God blesses, that He can empower us to get wealth, the scriptures tells us that and I believe it.

God is for your financial freedom if that is your choice.

I have no doubt about this, it's not even debatable for me.

Financial prosperity is a package you can have in God's will.

I pray you and I prosper financially.

Nature shows that God is a God of abundance.

God speaks to us through nature, nature is one of the volumes of God, it shows His glory!

The heavens declare the glory of God.

I marvel at the universe, the galaxies, the solar systems, all the wonders of the heaven above and the deep beneath.

I've concluded poverty is not God's best or will for us. Poverty showed up because humanity and creation was tampered with.

May God set us free.

My second and younger son has taken a keen interest in astronomy and science, the other day he brought to my attention a planet that's made mostly of diamonds, this planets is called "55 Cancri e"

"55 Cancri e" is outside our solar system.

It's a planet twice the size of earth and eight times heavier.

What a wonder! The wonders of God's creation.

God does not lack or run out, He is the eternal source.

May God enlarge our capacity to receive from Him.

Part of the reason many people want to make heaven is as a result of how heaven or the new Jerusalem has been depicted to us in the scriptures.

If the picture of paradise or heaven painted on the canvas of our imagination by the words from the Bible is one of a pathetic, poverty stricken environment no one would want to go there.

Imagine we get to heaven and find out we were deceived all along?

Imagine heaven not having the precious stones, the glory, the life, the lights, the rewards, the streets of gold, the beauty or the mansions?

But heaven reflects and has all these.

Doesn't such a place reflect wealth, royalty, and opulence?

That is where I want to go!

I know God is no deceiver.

Financial freedom helps us capture a heaven like experience down here on earth, to some degree.

It would be a great disappointment to us if we got to heaven after escaping the flames of hell and heaven doesn't turn out to be all we have thought it would be.

I have come across people who think they are somehow more righteous or godly than others by playing down on the importance of money, perhaps they do so sanctimoniously before people that they might have a good name and erroneously earn respect but when you check the amount of hours they work in a week, a Month or how much of their hours they have given to bosses & work environments you will see their reasoning doesn't add up.

You didn't work all those years not to earn money.

Why not receive direction and strategies from God today for your financial freedom.

Financial freedom can come from God's kingdom and it's a bonafide part of our freedom package.

The Countdown Begins

We are in very pertinent times in history and prophecy.

The discerning know this, the spiritually sensitive perceive this, and those with the mind of Christ are connecting the dots.

Things are changing very fast on the earthly plane because there is a lot of activity going on in the spiritual realm.

Since the spiritual dimension controls and impacts the physical dimension and the activities on the earth, it goes to show us there is something happening in the spirit realm that is happening at a pace and speed it wasn't moving at before.

Prophecy, Bible prophecy is playing out right before our eyes!

May those who have ears to hear, hear what the Spirit is communicating!

Unfortunately many cannot and do not perceive anything!

On the global stage a lot is happening.

In the religious sector, a lot is happening.

The Pope passed away recently, Pope Francis. 

Most of us witnessed his well organized funeral service on television or online.

His departure has happened at a very strategic time just shortly after Easter celebrations.

This leaves a vacuum in the Vatican city state as the man and leader regarded as their sovereign has departed.

A Pope is a well respected global figure due to the global influence and presence of the Catholic church. 

The Catholic church, with a global membership of one billion people or more who look to the Pope as the chosen representative of God, their church leader and leader of all Christians world wide, who they also see as sitting in the spiritual seat and office of  Peter the Apostle today; such an institution is a spiritual and physical force to be reckoned with either for good or evil.

I am not claiming the Catholic church is good or evil, neither is the Catholic church the main focus of this content.

The Catholic church have good they have done on this earth and good they are still doing.

The Catholic church has been brought up because I believe the Catholic church institution plays a role in prophecy even in these latter times.

The Catholic church will soon elect a new Pope.

While I do not claim to be a prophet and I know I'm not, for a number of reasons I believe this new Pope  just might be the Pope on duty when Jesus Christ comes back for His people- His body on the earth.

I sense we should start counting down to the return of the Lord.

Jesus's coming back is at hand.

This is written not as a Christian cliche it comes from strong conviction and understanding.

I perceive this year is a very crucial year in the end time plans and prophecies of the Lord and I am of the view the Catholic church plays a significant role.

That the Catholic church plays a role in Bible prophecy and perhaps not a positive one doesn't disqualify the faith of those who are members of the Catholic church on an individual and personal level.

There are true, godly families who attend the Catholic church and are doing the Lord's work and will.

Let us remember salvation is an individual matter.

It is about what we have done with Jesus Christ and this is the most important thing.

It is all about Jesus the Christ!

There are true children of God in the Catholic church.

There are true Christians who attend the Catholic church, true believers who will make heaven when Jesus Christ shows up for His own.

The false prophet who works with the anti-Christ as stated in scriptures, just might emerge from the Catholic church.

For all we know, the next Pope, the new Pope just might be that false prophet.

There is a purpose to everything God does, God permits and the enemy empowers.

We know from the scriptures that the anti-Christ and his chief agent and supporter the false Prophet will both be empowered by Satan.

It is not a mistake that the Catholic church has a humongous membership size, it is part of the plan.

It is also important to note that no church on earth is as advanced and empowered as the Catholic church is when it comes to space exploration.

They are head and shoulders in the area of astronomy, astrology and space exploration within the Christian sphere.

While this is not a bad thing in itself their telescopes name is a little alarming

The Vatican City has a space exploration department that boasts of the world's most powerful telescope.

This telescope is named Lucifer for whatever reason.

Probably due to the meaning of the name Lucifer which is a lovely and powerful meaning.

Lucifer was also the name of the fallen angel known as Satan today.

It is on record that there has been communication between aliens and the Vatican.

I believe aliens exist.

I also believe U.F.O's are extraterrestrials called demons.

As the times of the end draws nearer they are making themselves more visible.

UFO's are not friendly nice creatures from another planet who want good for us.

They are demonic spirits operating with and in technology that is beyond what we have here on earth.

We know from the scriptures that the false prophet will be empowered to perform signs and wonders which many people will be deceived by.

God is the one who performs true miracles and works genuine wonders.

Since this false prophet is not going to be empowered by God but the enemy, it means he will operate in the power of fallen angels and demons.

We know from the Bible that he will even make an inanimate object take on life!

He will give life to the statue of the anti-Christ!

And many will behold this.

Could these U.F.O's be the ones through whom he will be empowered?

Something is brewing, somethings are happening and the majority of the world is not aware.

The false prophet has to have numerical and religious influence.

It is part of his benefit to the anti-Christ.

Imagine him directing billions of people who he has control over to follow, look up to and serve the anti-Christ!

The empowerment of the anti-Christ and the false prophet by the enemy which will play out in leadership and governmental exploits on a global scale for the anti-Christ and a massive mass following for the false prophet will bring about total world domination for the anti-Christ as the false prophet points his followers and admirers to the anti-Christ.

The anti-Christ is Satan's answer to Jesus Christ.

He is a false Christ who will provide a false and temporary global peace for three and a half years before his true nature manifests to the deceived world as a son of Satan.

The spirit of the anti-Christ is on the earth already wrecking havoc, misleading people, persecuting and killing true believers and preparing the world stage for the anti-Christ's emergence in world matters.

Those who miss the rapture- the catching away of the church to be with the Lord, will be left on this earth to witness and experience the terror of the anti-Christ's reign.

That is not what you want for yourself.

Jesus is coming back, lets not forget this and let us not be seduced by this world system.

There will be false Christ's claiming to be sent ones before the Lord's return and we have seen some of them already.

Islamic prophecy talks about a character called the Mahdi.

According to Islamic eschatology the Mahdi is a Messianic figure who will show up on the world stage and rid the world of wrong doing, creating a state of peace.

Islam means religion of peace.

How peaceful many who practice the Islamic faith are is debatable but that's  a totally different topic.

The interesting thing is, the qualities and descriptions of the Islamic Mahdi is in line with Christianity's anti-Christ.

The Mahdi is going to be the anti-Christ.

Interestingly, shortly after the death and burial ceremony of Pope Francis, a black wearing, Egyptian American, forty two year old man declares himself the Mahdi and a fulfillment of Christian and Islamic prophecy.

He has racked up an impressive online following and he is spreading his campaign from country to country.

You might want to look him up on TikTok, Facebook and other online platforms.

He comes across as knowledgeable but for those who know and have the truth, for those who are seasoned in the scriptures you will see he has it wrong in a number of ways.

What we need to observe is whether the incoming Pope will work with this newly declared Mahdi.

If there is a cordialness and mutual support between the two of them, that speak volumes.

The anti-Christ and the false Prophet are about to be presented to us.

Let's get ready and start counting down, Jesus will show up sooner than we know and sooner than many are ready for.

We are in interesting times.

We are in dark times.

We are in the latter times.

We are in times of the fulfillment of prophecy.

We are in times when a lot is happening at the same time.

We are also in times where God is glorifying Himself through His body, His people, His church.

We are in times of revival and miracles!

We are in a season of the Lord's return.

Jesus is coming back soon.

Be aware, be blessed!

Let's watch and pray.

The time is short.

This world system is dying.

The church must live and thrive!

 

 

Wisdom, Discernment & Freedom

 

We live in a world where many people see good as evil and evil as good, they celebrate what's evil and condemn what's good. No wonder many are the afflictions of the righteous.

A cobweb of deception has been spun over this world, many things and people cannot be taken at face value.

Even the media can be biased and most times mass media itself is a tool of deception, it is used to distort the truth and present the view certain powers that be would have you believe.

Fake news is real.

Whatever you hear long enough you may begin to believe and you may eventually accept it as truth.

Persuasion is a powerful thing.

Persuasion rides on the wave of consistency and persistence, our minds are the target.

Error is often persistently presented, the intention is to break through your mental filter so as to make you accept or believe an outright lie or distorted fact.

Manipulative people can be very persuasive, charming men can often be deceitful., and controlling individuals are often emotionally intelligent.

It is a fact that controlling and manipulative women can use and do anything to get their way. To curry favor, they will shed tears if they have to, deceptive tears.

The times we are in calls for serious discernment!

Discernment is a God given gift that helps us perceive what's in the hearts of men and help us know the truth in difficult situations.

Some 2984 years ago, Solomon the wise king of Israel was presented with a tricky situation where he had to play the role of an impartial judge by making a ruling that was to determine who a baby would be given to between two women who claimed to be the child's mother.

The two women before Solomon lay claim to the baby, both gave birth to sons at the same time period and they lived in the same building. While asleep one night, one of the women slept on her baby mistakenly and her baby died, realizing her baby was dead she put her dead baby beside the other woman who was asleep, she took the living child of the sleeping woman and lay the child beside her as if the boy is hers. An evil and wicked exchange!

Presented with this difficult scenario, king Solomon had a short moment of time to determine which woman is the child's real mother.

The king was wise enough to know the biological mother of the child would have genuine feelings for her son, so the king decided to put both women to the test without informing them.

He instructed one of his guards to take out his sword and cut the baby boy into two equal parts so that each woman can leave with half a child.

The biological mother of the child pleaded for the life of her child and asked that the child be given to the other woman, the culprit.

The second woman, the culprit, demanded that the child be killed. What a wicked and miserable woman!

Miserable people love company.

King Solomon discerned the real mum of the child.

He commanded that the baby boy be given to his real mother and not be killed.

God's wisdom at work in king Solomon freed the king from error in judgement and a difficult situation. Wisdom freed the baby boy from an unfortunate existence of living with a false mother and wicked woman, wisdom also freed the biological mother of the baby boy to live in peace and raise her son.

Wisdom frees us up, wisdom brings freedom.

Wisdom brings discernment and on this occasion discernment saved the day!

Spirits and Freedom

Even spirits appreciate freedom.

Someone once told me Genie's exist.

What are your thoughts about this?

The fictional story of Aladdin the Disney character is one of a charming pickpocket who glides on a magic mat and has a spirit friend who grants his wishes-- a Genie.

I remember those Arabian action movies I quite liked watching growing up- the Sinbad the sailor movies.

Sinbad is the heroic and adventurous sailor who goes on voyages seeking riches and good fortune, on his voyages he encounters and fights all sorts of creatures on land and sea. Genies in magic lamps are not strange in Sinbad movies.

Personally I don't believe Genies exist.

If they do, there is the fictional story around Genies and there is the reality of what Genies or Jinn are.

A friend once told me she believes Genie's exist.

Having lived in the Northern part of her country which is predominantly an Islamic stronghold, she narrated to me stories of people possessed by spirits they call Jinn. She narrated the wild erratic behaviors Jinns' made the possessed display.

In Islam, Genies are called Jinn but they are not written about in the Bible or spoken of in the Christian faith.

A Genie or Jinnie according to Arabian fictional accounts is a spirit stuck in a lamp, the story about Genies is that they are imprisoned in lamps as a form of punishment and are only set free if their lamp is found by someone who rubs the lamp, the 'rub' is the key to the Genie's release. A Jinnie can be stuck in a lamp for hundreds or thousands. of years. They may be in bottles or lamps.

Genies feel indebted to their liberator, in gratitude they grant wishes, it can be 3 or 7 wishes, these wishes are granted as rewards of gratitude to the human who set them free. Genie's are portrayed as loyal, staying around their human who they take as their master until all their masters wish has been exhausted and fulfilled. After using their powers to grant the 3 or 7 wishes no matter how hard the request to the Genie may be, the Genie is free to roam the earth a free spirit never to be stuck in the lamp or bottle again. It is the happiest day for a Genie.

In Islam wise king Solomon is believed to be the Master of the Jinn (Genie), the Islamic/Arab accounts is that Solomon was so wise he could communicate with animals and spirits.

There are writings and beliefs (not Islamic) which claim Solomons temple was an architectural and artistic masterpiece achieved by the help of spirits under the control and influence of Solomon's wisdom. After the building of the temple these spirits were imprisoned by Solomon and its also said these spirits orchestrated wealth for Solomon as they were under his leadership. Perhaps these are the Genies?

Of course my take and belief is the Biblical account.

From the Bible I gather spirits appreciate freedom.

We read of demons crying out as a result of being disturbed when Jesus showed up where they are, they were not free to operate, Jesus talks about them roaming freely and uniting to make people's lives miserable,

We read about these unclean spirits crying out to Jesus, asking if Jesus had come to torment them before their time. They like to be free but they should be bound in the name of the Lord!

In Arabian fictional movies, finding a Genie's lamp is regarded as good fortune as it was a way to make your wishes come true.

While God is a prayer answering God who loves to grant us our good hearts desire, He is no Genie.

God is not our cosmic errand boy.

He is the King of King's & Lord of Lords!

Freedom From Within

True freedom starts from the spirit realm.

It's possible to look free outwardly and be bound by many issues and vices inwardly.

This is a reason there have been examples in those who seem to have a lot to live for, even those who seem to have it together financially like multi millionaires and billionaires who have committed suicide.

The rich also cry.

The poor struggle.

It is the blessing that counts, the blessing of the Lord.

Freedom is a huge aspect of God's blessing.

A huge aspect of being free is being joyful and fulfilled, our lives don't have to be a tragedy.

The joy I'm on about is not a false superficial type of happiness, it is not a mere act or appearance mechanically put together to make people think we have what we don't.

There's an internal joy that flows from within irrespective of the stage, phase and experience of life we are going through. This joy is not dependent on outward circumstances or situations, it is not dependent on alcohol or any outward agent to produce it.

This joy is of God the Father, it's from within, given as a gift and fruit.

It is from within we control that which is external.

The driver of a vehicle doesn't control his vehicle from the outside while his vehicle is on the move, he does it from within, from the drivers seat, inside the vehicle.

From the inside he controls the speed, the direction, and the signals of the vehicles he's driving.

Our lives can be likened to automobiles, we are on a journey.

We control our lives from within.

Check your internal health, it matters.

The kingdom of God is within us through Jesus Christ and in the kingdom joy is found. There is freedom there.

I pray you find true joy and you're truly free if you are not.

 

THE NECESSITY OF FREEDOM

 

Freedom is not a luxury or benefit for a select few, it is your birthright.

The free man is king!

There are things we will do well to be free from- wrong words/voices, a self sabotaging mental image, and idols.

They are impediments to your progress, well being and freedom.

The voice of critics and detractors are wrong voices, the counsels of the jealous and envious are wrong voices, the view or opinion of negative minded people evolve into communication that are misleading voices, and those who belittle and despise use their voice to paint a wrong mental picture on the canvas of your mind The voice of those who are sincere but sincerely wrong can mislead.

You will do yourself a disfavor heeding these type of voices. Understand some people are toxic to where you're going to and what you're created for.

It's not everyone who loves a success story, not everyone wants to see you succeed, its not everyone who'll believe in you or the dreams you have. Your dreams will not excite everyone and it's not everyone who has to understand your path.

Your life's journey is exclusively yours, it's unique; no one has been on your journey, had your specific life's experience. No one else is you! So value yourself. You bring something unique to the table of life.

This understanding should help your self image and build your confidence. Get rid of self sabotaging mental images, they are mirages, hallucinations, lying wonders and internal false apparitions.

Idols are another nuisance we have to remove and cleanse out of our heart disc.

An idol is anything we love more than God.

An idol is anything that has replaced God in our soul's, anything in our lives contesting with our love for our creator is an idol.

Idols give the enemy a right to accuse us, resist us and gain an advantage over us.

He checked out Jesus when He walked this earth, if Jesus had idols in His heart He would have succumbed to the enemy's temptation when the enemy lead Him to the top of a mountain and showed Him all the glories of this world in exchange for worship. We fall for temptations that are idols within us. Thank God Jesus didn't, He was free from the hold of idols.

You must be free of yours too.
