A word of Wisdom: Bless or Curse  Proverbs 18:21 KJV Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof. James 3:8-10 KJV But the tongue can no man tame; it is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison.  [9] Therewith bless we God, even the Father;  and therewith curse we men, which are made after the similitude of God.  [10] Out of the same mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing.  My brethren, these things ought not so to be. The law of the Kingdom of God for faith is such that the words that come out of our mouth in faith - believing the substance of things hoped for, without wavering or doubie-mindedness, it shall come to pass. James 1:6-8 KJV But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering.  For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed.  [7] For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord.  [8] A double minded man is unstable in all his ways. Hebrews 1...

A word of Wisdom: The Tongue of Lovingkindness  Psalm 107:43 KJV Whoso is wise, and will observe these things, even they shall understand the lovingkindness of the LORD. Proverbs 31:26 KJV She openeth her mouth with wisdom; and in her tongue is the law of kindness. 1 Corinthians 13:1 KJV Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity,  I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal. Proverbs 18:21 KJV Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof. Proverbs 12:18 KJV There is that speaketh like the piercings of a sword: but the tongue of the wise is health. Proverbs 15:4 KJV A wholesome tongue is a tree of life: but perverseness therein is a breach in the spirit. Proverbs 21:23 KJV Whoso keepeth his mouth and his tongue keepeth his soul from troubles. James 1:26 KJV If any man among you seem to be religious, and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man's religion is vain. J...

  A word of Knowledge: The Manner in Casting Out Devils and Laying Hands to Heal When casting out devils, Use shouting once or twice to demonstrate the Authority of the Name of Jesus is fine. Beyond that, continuing to shout becomes walking in the flesh and not walking in the Spirit any more and the devils could detect our frustrations/worries  instead of faith, And this will make further shouting snd commands to become ineffectual. The devil obeys Authority not anger or aggression. In fact, they feed and thrive on such negative emotions. When laying hands to heal, shouting in aggression is not necessary. Instead, do it with compassion, the love of Jesus - not to be confused with sympathy or pity which looks at the symptoms and worries instead of turning our eyes upon Jesus alone and focusing upon the eventual expected healed results, not the sufferings and symptoms. Jesus shouted only in casting out, once, "come out".  Jesus never shouted in laying hands but is moved wit...

A word of Knowledge: Effectual Casting out of Devils and Healing  Deuteronomy 6:5 KJV And thou shalt love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might. Mark 12:30 KJV And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment. An effectual casting out of devils or the healing of the sick follows the same principle in how we love God, that is, not half-heartedly but wholeheartedly with all our being, spirit, soul and body. Therefore,  Cast out devils in all your words and actions,  with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength, and with all thy might, Heal the sick in all your words and actions,  with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength, and with all thy might.  

A word of Wisdom: Judge Thyself  1 Corinthians 13:4-8 KJV Charity suffereth long, and is kind;  charity envieth not;  charity vaunteth not itself,  is not puffed up,  [5] Doth not behave itself unseemly,  seeketh not her own,  is not easily provoked,  thinketh no evil;  [6] Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth;  [7] Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.  [8] Charity never faileth:  Charity is agapē love, the self-sacrificing, unconditional kind of love, God's kind of love, Jesus' kind of love. Matthew 7:1-2 KJVS Judge not, that ye be not judged.  [2] For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged:  and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again. How do you measure against Charity? How perfect is your love? Let us judge ourselves and mete how we score with Charity, Jesus' kind of love towards our neighbour and towards God and the Kingdo...

A word of Wisdom: On Healing the Sick We received Salvation because of what Jesus did on the cross for us, not what we ourselves did. Conversely, We received sicknesses and diseases because of the afflictions and oppressions of the devil upon us, not what we the oppressed did to ourselves. Let us not be deceived by the oppressor. God is our Healer,  Exodus 15:26 KJV for I am the LORD that healeth thee. Acts 10:38 KJV How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power:  who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil;  for God was with him. Jesus never blamed the cause of sicknesses on the sick like what other men and physicians and doctors did but He took and bare it upon Himself.  So shouldn't you do the same for the oppressed? Matthew 8:17 KJV Himself took our infirmities, and bare our sicknesses. Jesus always has compassion on the oppressed and always healed the sick. So shouldn't you do the same for the sick? Matthew...

A word of Wisdom: Apocalypse (Revelation) We shall be transformed with a new incorruptible, immortal body when our Lord Jesus comes again. The end of the world, apocalypse (Greek apokalypsis meaning "Revelation") is our victory over death for us that believed, not a catastrophe or diaster. 1 Corinthians 15:52-58 KJV In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump:  for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.  [53] For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.  [54] So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written,  Death is swallowed up in victory. [55] O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?  [56] The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law.  [57] But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory throug...

A word of Wisdom: How do we Prove the Kingdom of God to the world? 1 Corinthians 4:20 KJV For the kingdom of God is not in word, but in power. How do we prove the Kingdom of God to people so that they may come to believe deeply in their hearts in the Name of Jesus? 1 Corinthians 2:1,4-5 KJV And I, brethren, when I came to you, came not with excellency of speech or of wisdom, declaring unto you the testimony of God.  [4] And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man's wisdom,  but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power:  [5] That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God. John 2:23 KJV Now when he was in Jerusalem at the passover, in the feast day, many believed in his name, when they saw the miracles which he did. John 4:48 KJV Then said Jesus unto him,  Except ye see signs and wonders, ye will not believe. How do we prove to the world  that Jesus, the Saviour of the world, is still very alive and present ...
