TRUE PRAYER.

Prayer is a beautiful act.
It is beautiful because it is a means of expression between man and his creator.
The ability to express ourselves is perhaps one of the top gifts the creator has endowed us with.
Knowing and believeing that we can talk to the creator and hear Him in return is even more gratifying. What a gift! Prayer is a gift God has given man, that gives man an audience with God.
Many people seek the audience of the rich and wealthy, the high and mighty, the talented and the gifted but the truly wise seek an audience with God!
Prayer offers us that privilege. It's a privilege we must use.
How have you been using the gift of prayer, do you use it at all.
Prayer is communication with God, and true communication is not just about speaking but hearing in return. What use is it, to talk to God but He doesn't talk to you in return? So God talks to people.
There is an art to prayer.
Understanding the art of prayer will make your prayer a masterpiece and give you an audience with God anyday.
True prayer is praying from the standpoint of victory, not with the mindset of a victim.
The art of prayer is the skill to pray well. Prayer is potent when its prayed from the perspective of God's Word not from the sentiment or fear of what we are going through.
God respects Him own word and He won't and can't go back on it. ''How forcible are right words''
When we speak to or God with the right words we can be sure of the right answers.
The right words for every situation of life is found in the Bible.
The word of God operates with force in the spirit realm when we speak them back to God. "For the word of God is fast and powerful, sharper than any two edged sword" So when we pray the Word mighty forces are released in the spirit realm!
You can't separte God's word from true prayer and you can't separate true prayer from God's Word. The work together to get the answers we need. "you in Me and I in you"
When the word of God is uttered with understanding from the heart, things happen!
So the starting point of prayer is the Word! We have to put the word of God in our hearts, in other words we have to understand Gods Words and have a conviction about it.
This makes prayer work.
God's Spirit works with His Word. When you put His Words in your heart, you are giving God's spirit raw material to work with in your favor.

Where Are The Giant Slayers?

Since childhood I have always enjoyed hearing stories and watching movies of ordinary people triumph and do spectacular things against all odds.
Such interests, for many of us is not limited to our childhood or youthful years alone, there is something that interests the human nature about people who do things or achieve things beyond their age, looks or the limitations placed on them.

For me, I like inspiring stories and I always do my best to keep myself inspired.
The Bible has many interesting and inspiring stories, there are also many books-biographies and autobiographies that inspire. 

There are good films that inspire too.
The movie Jack the Giant Slayer inspired and adapted from the popular kiddies story Jack and the Bean stock is good entertainment. It's inspiring, that a young man overcame all the odds that came his way. 

A real hero.

The world is in need of heroes today.
We live in a world where heroes have come and heroes have gone, because people come and people go.
Mahatma Ghandhi of blessed memory was a hero to his people and many people in the world at large.
The prophet Mohammed (peace be upon him) is regarded as a hero and a prophet to those of the Islamic faith.
Louis Farrakhan of the Nation of Islam (NOI) is a father, a hero and a role model to many black men and Muslim brothers. 

President Barack Obama is a political hero and role model to many.
Heroes are not necessarily people who are perfect or without flaws, they make mistakes, do wrong things and fall short, at times in many areas.
But there is something all heroes have in common. 

Every hero has overcome odds, scaled hurdles and inspired many people, a few people or someone. 

That amount of people you have inspired, determines the influence and popularity of your heroic reputation.

There are and will always be odds, hurdles, challenges and difficulties to overcome in the world today. So you can become a hero to! 

At least to someone! You are somebody's hero!
David became a national hero after overcoming Goliath.
Goliath was a giant. 

Modern day giants today are the daily and global challenges of life we have to face on the earth.
So the world needs giant slayers. 

Where are they, where are those who will make a difference, those who once and for all will go where others fear to go and tackle what others fear to tackle to the glory of God?
They are the ones who will become giant slayers in this day and age. 

Being a hero, a giant slayer has innumerable benefits.
You can rise up and be counted one of them.

Of Nephilims, UFO'S, Spirit Wives and Husbands, Fallen Angels and Demons.

The researcher L.A Marzulli has done some fascinating studies on fallen angels, U.F.O's and Demons.
I appreciate his work, his depth of knowledge and the insight he has brought to our generation.
Chuck Missler, the teacher and preacher has also done some in depth study on this subject, particularly on the study of Nephilims.
We live in times when men are fascinated by the supernatural, magic, miracles, the extraordinary and research and revelations beyond the ordinary.
Discoveries and topics about the early man, giants of old, Greek gods, the 'sons of God' in Noah's time from Genesis Chapter 6, U.F.O's, demons and fallen angels are topics man always wants to know more about.
This is perhaps the reason I have a deep interest in the title of this write up.

Are satanically charged super soldiers who are hybrids (Rephahims) really in existence?
Do they exist in our time, or do they now exist in the spirit realm?
Did they really exist in the times of Noah (I believe they did) or is it just some fable story?

If the Nephilims were wiped out by the flood of Noah's era, where did other giants mentioned in the Bible like Goliath and his relatives come from?
Are demons different from fallen angels, and if so what's the difference between the two and where did they originate from?

Are the sons of God mentioned in Genesis chapter 6 fallen angels or are they human beings who served God at that time?
Are spirit wives and husbands (which have been accepted by many Christians, and have become a doctrine in our time) fallen angels or are they spiritual hybrids that exist in the spirit realm?
Do angels have reproductive organs and are they able to impregnate women?
Did these women in Genesis chapeter 6 know these men who took them as wives were angels or are they angels that took on the body of human men, for they were called sons of God and some people believe God doesn't call angels sons according to the Bible.
Are angels sons of God?

Would any woman wait around for an angel to woo her without being afraid at the appearance of the angel or perhaps these angels did not appear in their celestial state?
Are fallen angels different from disembodied spirits?

I know angels are spirits and they have their own type of bodies which are glorious bodies, better and stronger than the human body (this is to be expected since they are spirits who are always in God's presence).
Angels are here on earth but we don't see them except they choose to make themselves visible, they are messenger beings of God, who ascend and descend from heaven to earth to do the Lord's bidding.

The good Book records that after the end of the age, those who are blessed enough to make it to heaven will be like angels who neither marry or are given in marriage.
 If angels do not marry or are not given in marriage, what did God create them with organs for?

I understand God to be a God of purpose, who created everyone and all things for a reason.
If these hybrids called Nephilims from Genesis chapter 6 are a mix between angels and humans, and they became the great men and heros of old, yet they were evil. Why don't we see these happening anymore. Or are the fallen angels not permitted to touch women anymore?
 Do they do it spiritually now, is this where the spirit wife/spirit husband phenomenon comes in?
 Are spirit wives/husbands fallen angels who have devised another strategy to sleep with women?
 If they do, where are their children, are those children in the spirit realm now? And if they are, why the need for children in the spirit realm if angels do not marry or are not given in marriage?

What about U.F.O'S? Unidentified Flying Objects. 

Are they fallen angels? I think so. 

I believe UFO's exist but they are not what they have portrayed themselves to be to humanity.

They are not what humanity think themselves to be.
I believe they are the principalities, powers and rulers of this dark world, spirit beings who live in the heavenly places. 

They constantly watch man (God's favorite creation and the only creation in His image) and try to wreck havoc on man. 

They document and research on man and get information about man to their leader Lucifer (now called Satan who is the chief of fallen angels).

What about demons? 

What's the difference between a demon and a fallen angel? 

Fallen angels are angels who lost favor with God and were cast out of heaven, they were a one third population among God's angels in heaven at that time. Did they become demons after they were cast out of heaven? I'm not sure.

A Christian researcher claims that demons are disembodied spirits that were in the Nephilims some refer to as Rephahaim (the hybrids) in Genesis chapter 6.

 After God wiped out that generation with a flood, the spirits in those giants lost their bodies (spirits don't die) and began to float about doing evil.
I believe these disembodied spirits are demons (a hybrid spirit of sort between the spirit of angels and humans) while some are simply angels gone wrong and cast out of heaven.
Are these demons the spirit wives/husband some Christians talk about today?

What is the purpose of a spirit wife?
Should these demons or disembodied spirits be called spirit wife or spirit husband considering it's not God that joined them to the affflicted individuals they are attached to?
A marriage cannot occur except God is the one who joined the couple together.
Since angels are not permitted to marry, and demons came through fallen angels can we call them husband or wife?

From Genesis 6 we can deduce the purpose of the fallen ones sleeping with women, it was to corrupt the institution of marriage and humanity but what about the ones that have attached themselves to humans of the male gender?
Is it to corrupt the sperm of the man, and if so, is that possible?
Can fallen spirits still attach themselves to women considering the the ones who did were severly punished by God the Father of all spirits?

e know they are bound with chains of darkness is Tartarus.
Are the fallen spirits/angels held down in Tartarus for taking wives in Genesis 6 among humans able to come out of there?
If so what role will such forces play in the end time against humanity?

These are some of the topics I will be looking into and discussing at The Light Of Jesus Christ Assembly, the church ministry I Pastor here in London UK.
Perhaps you want answers too?
Why not pop in for one of our services?
You will be glad you did.

THE AMAZING BENEFITS OF CONFIDENCE.

Confidence is a necessity if we are going to get ahead in life. Confidence has amazing benefits, and it bestows great rewards wherever it's applied in every field of life.
Confidence is a warfare tactic! All military generals, officials and warfare strategists are men of confidence. From Hannibal, Alexander the Great, Sun Tzu, King Cyrus of Persia, King David of Israel or the Biblical Gideon who was a great warrior, confidence reflects in all their exploits.
It is a fact that in warfare the confident side is the winning side, while the desperate side is the losing side. History has shown that desperation is probably evidence that an individual has lost his hold and is no longer in control. It's the man thats in control that wins in the race of life.
Confidence is also important when it comes to spiritual matters. There is a spiritual battle in life, the man who prevails in life is the one who has tackled the issues of life from the spirit realm. My basis for confidence is knowledge of God's Word.
The last American presidential campaign is a good example of the difference between the confident man and the desperate one.
On the last day of Mitt Romney and President Barack Obama's campaign, Obama who is a more confident individual in my opinion, knowing he had done everything he knew he was supposed to do and trusting that it will yield the desired result relaxed and went off to play basket ball with some mates while Mitt Romney who was the desperate individual and perhaps less confident of his effort continued campaigning into the late hours of the evening of the last day and he still lost the election! One was playing basketball while the other was campaigning yet the one playing basket ball in the last day won the election while the working desperate one lost the election.
Confidence mixed with strategy and hard work leads to outstanding success This is where knowledge comes in, confidence is founded on knowledge, knowledge is our basis for confidence. You will be more confident in any field of life you are knowledgeable about.
To succeed significantly in the year 2013 and beyond, go for knowledge in the areas where you want to see success.

TOUGH SKINNED

Life is no joke, reality is no playground and circumstances can tear like a dagger. We live in a world where only the mentally tough survive, a world where only those who have internal shock absorbers can survive the rocky terrain that leads to success.
Life's difficulties try us to see how much we really want our dreams. How much do you really want to succeed? If you want to succeed enough, the facts around you shouldn't be strong enhough to make you give up.
We have nine more months before this year comes to an end. It may have been a pleasant year for you so far, or it might have been a difficult year so far, whatever the year has brought to you so far is not what matters, what matters is that you can still make it and turn the tide in your favour with God's help.
God loves us and He is on our side, but His love doesn't necessarily exempt us from difficulty or some of the knocks life can hit us with.

To rise above the past, overcome the storms meant to defeat you and prevail irrespective of adversaries there is a need to be tough skinned. To be tough skinned is the ability to keep going despite the opposition and all that's thrown at you to bring you down. As you aspire for greater things, enemies will rise. Dream killers show up when breakthroughs are round the corner. That's why you have to be tough skinned and keep your focus this year and in the coming years if you are going to make it.

IT'S BETTER LATE THAN NEVER

'It's better late than never'- that's a statement that is true in many respects. I would rather achieve a goal in my lifetime rather late than not achieve that goal at all.
You may not have achieved all you wanted to achieve in 2012, but that is why this article has been written. It's been written to remind you that it's better late than never!
 Be encouraged, though the year is going by rather fast, be consoled that you are still in the first month of the year 2013, there is still hope for you and you can make it.
 It will not be late for you this year. Might I encourage you to write out your goals for the year, be determined in your heart to pursue and achieve them, be prayerful in everything you do this year and ask God to open your eyes to the opportunities around you (there are opportunities around you, you probably aren't seeing them) and very importantly, learn to seize opportunities this year.
 As you make the most of opportunities that come your way this year, you can be sure that this year you will find yourself in places of fulfilment.
 My article wasn't written on the first of January which would have been the ideal day to write it but I'm happy I have been able to find the time to write it in the first month of the year.
I have been busy with marital life, my career and numerous other plans and projects.
Since it's better late than never, I believe it's not to late to wish you a happy new year. Wishing you a happy and properous 2013.

FAITH AND IT'S MISSING LINK.

 
The concept of faith is one that's pertinent to all men, for we all have a faith (s spiritual belief) or faith in something.
  We can have faith in people, a business, a job, a nation, an economy or a business. We can put our faith in God or satan, the light or darkness, truth or falseness, logic or evidence beyond that which is seen. I'm a christian, a follower of Jesus Christ, my faith is in God, the creator of heaven and earth. God is interested in the our faith, and His Word, the Holy Bible touches on the topic of faith quiet extensively. I accept the Bible for what it says and I believe it is the Word of God Himself.
  Many claim to have faith but don't even know what faith is. There is a missing link to what many see faith as, it's not possible to have faith without seeing something. You have to see to have faith, for faith has to be founded upon something. It's meant to be based on what you see.
 Faith is not mental assent, it is not blind belief and it is not believing itself. Faith is an action!
 Faith is the action of belief.
 It's not always enough to believe, but its commendable to act on what you believe. Faith is the action of believe!
 For you to have true faith you have to 'see' something and you have to believe something. The question is, what do you see and what do you believe?
 By seeing, I mean you have to have a mental picture, you must be able to imagine and visualize what you want to achieve for "faith is the evidence of things hoped for, the substance of things not seen" What you hope for is not something that you see with your physical eyes, it's  seen with your spiritual eyes, it's seen with you 'heart', it's evidence is known only by you which is your visualization, your mental picture, it's what you hold up as a dominant imagination. Your ability to imagine  was  given  to  you  by  you  creator  for  a  reason. It's  part  of  your  inner  picture  which  your  faith  is based on, faith is not blind by any means.
Where  do we get the right mental picture from  to help our faith, or make our faith clearer?
We  get  it  from God's Word  the Bible. "for faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God"
What we hear matters. What  we  hear  can  become  the  source of our  faith  for  faith  starts  from what  we  hear. When we hear words that are Biblically based our faith grows. As we listen to such words, understanding comes to us, understanding words we hear creates a mental picture in our mind. We read the Bible to get pictures, pictures that should become our dream. Read God's Word until you see what you can have in it, listen to Words from the Bible until understanding comes, which means your mental picture has been ignited. When you see yourself in the light of God's Word, then you can say your faith has started. When you act on making those pictures a reality, then you can say you're in faith.
Imaginations and visualizations are the missing link in what many profess  as having faith.
