Ya dead yet?

“The bible says seek ye first the kingdom of God and all these things shall be added unto you.” “I’m not here to rob you, but I want you to give up these things so that I can give you what is better, what some of you might never dream possible.”
The Lord prophesied through me during my friend’s cg meeting. The sermon was about the great commission that we are to make disciples, but in order for us to make them, we must be disciples ourselves. We have to take up our own cross and follow Jesus.

We pursue after material wealth, after men, allow our minds to be worldly, we do all these without knowing that it is all out to kill us. God plans to give all His children a heavenly life that is glorious, but we must first give up the things of the world.

Both Satan and God wants to kill you, but Satan wants to kill your spirit that which is eternal, while God wants you to kill your flesh so that you may live by the spirit.
“Many of us call Jesus our Savior, but few call Him Lord .” –Donovan 
I found that the devil likes to put in lies in to the church to prevent others from going close to God. Lies like, “to be a Christian means we have to be poor.” Not true, God has given grace for a few who are meant to suffer in material wealth but not for all of us, in fact He desires us to be rich in material wealth as well. In the same way that not all of us are called to suffer like Paul, it was his calling and God gave him the grace for it. I always didn’t agree with “church” cultures that insist that being poor is a sign of holiness and a sign of willingness to give up the world. Although God has called some to do it, many others are not, they are instead called to be a blessing, like Abraham. The issues is not whether we are rich or poor in material wealth, but is that whether we are willing to give that all up along with other things in the world for God.

By faith

In the middle of the night while I was in camp, I was on my bed asking how do I move the gifting to a higher level.
It was then I heard the lord, “You need to treasure the gift if you want promotion.” 
In treasure does not mean just using the gifting, but stretch our faith by pushing God and asking Him to use the gift we have more. I remember that the only reason why I wanted to move out in prophesy and healing was because of the love for the people. 

We are not to base our relationship by feelings. However God does let us feel when He knows that we don’t believe Him by feelings but by faith. It is by faith that we enter God’s presence, not by weeping or an order of worship, then when we enter we can feel His presence.
As I look back in my life, I realized that what I was doing was stepping out in faith and that’s why I have had so many encounters. I was the simple things like believing that tongues was for all who believe (Mark 16:15-18), and things like “as long as the Bible says so it is from God.” Though feelings was how God used to increase by measure of faith to a deeper Glory and relationship, but it was by faith that activated the first encounter, the first slaining, speaking of tongues, and feeling His awesome presence.

Back to what matters

“ It is by my name that things happen, not the prophetic actions. The prophetic acts are an act of obedience.” - Jesus
(while I was praying for healing upon my mom)

I do not worry or get even bothered by things like, what will happen to those who are not why can’t I just speak a word from now so that they may be saved? Things like what other Christians will respond with harden hearts? What about this area of my life that is not perfect yet? These questions do pop out in my head, but when God’s presence comes, and when Jesus gives you a hug, all these fades. Truth is all that you hear, and truth sets you free. All I hear is:
“ I just want you, all of you, not your service, just you Euclid.” – Jesus
“Hey Euclid, I love you” – Jesus


Touched by the love of God again and again, and it is heavenly.
What God really wants is for you to spend time with Him.
