Holy Spirit is our Messager

Read: Daniel 9: 1-19, 22-23, 10: 12- 14

.... Since the first day that you set your mind to gain understanding and to humble yourself before your God, your words were heard and I have come in response to them.

Daniel 10: 12

       Daniel, a Spiritual man, has gone to the Den of Lions (Daniel 6: 1-24), he had serve three great kings and his position was so high and great. But he read Jeremiah prophecies about 70 years, they will go back to Jerusalem. But Daniel did not know that it was true or false, he had been fasting and praying for 21 days, because he did not receive the answer in first day until the angel of God appeared to him.

       That time, if you wanted God who answered you, God would speak people in dreams and vision, He also sent an angel as a messager to deliver God's message. So that Daniel had been waiting for 21 days, not first day. I am so sorry for a good man of God - Daniel. Now I will tell you a good news, it is Holy Spirit.

       In John 14: 15-17 told us, Jesus has promised the Holy Spirit. Verse 16-17 said, "And I (Jesus) will ask the Father, and he will give you another Counselor to be with you forever - the Spirit of truth. We are better revelation than the time of Daniel. We have Holy Spirit who leads and guide us, He is our teacher, counselor, messager and helper... etc. Without Him, we can't do nothing, because the Spirit of God is there, there are freedom and truth of Son Jesus.

         I personally believe that we can pray and the Spirit of the Lord is interceding for us. As Romans 8:26 said, "... the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself (Holy Spirit) intercedes for us with groans that words cannot express."

        Therefore, we are fasting and praying in first day, the Holy Spirit will answer and speak to us in first day immediately.

Holy Spirit teaches you all Truth.

Resist Satan with Your Firm Faith

Read: James 1:17, 4:7; 1 Peter 5: 8-9; Ephesians 6:16

..... Resit him, standing firm in the faith.

1 Peter 5:9

..... take up the shield of Faith, with  which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Ephesians 6:16

       Many people do not believe spirit or Satan or devil or evil one. They told me that you don't believe too much, it has made your mind crazy. Whoever has said, it is not important, whatever the Bible has said, it is very important for me.

         Who is Satan? In Revelation 12: 9 said, "The great dragon was hurled down - that ancient serpent called the devil, or Satan, who leads the whole world astray. He was hurled to the earth, and his angels with him." Then verse 11 said, "They (We) overcame him (Satan or devil) by the blood of the Lamb (Jesus) and by word of their testimony (our testimony)." 

        So Satan is like roaring lion, have louder voice, but he is not Strong enough. (Revelation 12: 8) This roaring lion is looking for someone (no devotional life, no faithful to the Lord) to devour. I hope that you are not one. Because you stand firm in your faith and resist Satan, he will run away from you. In all things, we are more than conquerors through him (Jesus) who loved us. (Romans 8: 37)

       As James 4:7 said, "Submit yourselves, then to God. Resist devil, and he will flee from you." Amen! It is not what can we do? But He has done for everything and for all in all. Satan will flee from us, because we have the power through Holy Spirit.

Jesus, Lamb of God

Worthy is your Name

Jesus, Lamb of God

Worthy is your Name

You are my strength when I am weak

You are the treasure that I seek

You are my ALL in ALL

Seeking you as a precious jewel

Lord, to give up I'd be a fool

You are my ALL in ALL

Taking my sin, my cross, my shame

Rising again, I bless your Name

You are my ALL in ALL

When I fall down You pick me up

When I am dry You fill my cup

You are my ALL in ALL

Taking your Weeds Away from your Faith

Read: 2 Corinthians 11:14; Matthew 13:36-43

For Satan masquerades as an angel of light.

2 Corinthians 11: 14

      Be careful weeds as Satan who take your faith away, you need to be careful to guard your heart of Faith. Because you are growing in your Faith, you have to trust God enough, you can move the mountain (the bad situation) and you can cast out to the sea as the Bible tells.

      We shall know that the devil Satan can masquerades as an angel of light. This Satan, you use your flesh eyes, they are an angel of light, until you have the spiritual eyes can see it. You can understand it. All the voices are not all coming from God or Holy Spirit. Some of things are weeds in our lives. If we are not careful, we can not see it,  hear it and feel it. We let the weeds to destroy our faith. We have to rebuild the relationship with God again, again and again.

      In Matthew 13: 38 said, "The weeds are the sons of evil." and verse 41 said, "The Son of Man will send out his angels, and they will weed out of his Kingdom. It means The Son of Man (Jesus) will send his angels to weed out his kingdom, so that weeds are the sons of evil before Jesus will come second time.

      Therefore we need to grow our faith by examine our Christians' deeds and characters, if there are weeds in our life, we must pray and take weeds out in our lives, so that we can glorify His Name on high. Amen!

Death can not hold back her speach by faith!

Read: Hebrews 11:4; Genesis 4: 2-8

And by faith he still speaks, even though he is dead. Hebrews 11:4

         When we go back Genesis 4: 2-8 about Cain attached his brother Abel and killed him (Genesis 4: 8), because of envy. I have to tell your this true story: a long time ago, Adam and Eve had two sons - Cain and Abel. When they grew up, Abel kept flocks and Cain worked the soil (farmer). One day, two brothers gave God's offering.  Therefore the Lord looked with favor on Abel and his offering, but on Cain and his offering he did not look with favor. So that Cain was very angry, and his face with downcast (angry face). (Verses 2-5)

      Then the Lord said to Cain, "Why are you angry? Why is your face downcast? If you do what is right, will you not be accepted? But if you do not do what is right, sin is crouching at your door, it desires to have you, but you must master it. (Genesis 4: 6-7)  I think that Cain said that my brother Abel is ONLY to give one lamb, I gave a lot of fruits, it is not fair, unfair, in fair for me, because God shall say I've given it wonderful offering as my brother Abel, there were not first murder in Genesis. Because it is God's fault, not ME.

      The result Cain attached his brother Abel who did not know what was happening, Cain was lost with his anger, opening a door and welcome sin to come into his heart, then he killed his brother Abel. Poor Abel, his death is not his fault, because his brother Cain was angry which had been overcome him. Such a sad story.

       In Hebrews 11: 4 said, "By faith Abel offered God a better sacrifice that Cain did. By faith he was c0mmended as a righteous. And by faith he still speaks, even though he is dead." Wow! Such the beautiful and encouraged words from the Lord. Even Abel had passed away, but his testimony about his offering of Faith. God remembers him until NOW.

         My mother church Touching gospel center, there had one missionary which is named Marta, she had been to China and Taiwan Touching small town as a missionary for his life, even she died in the land of Taiwan. Now I want to speak her testimony about by faith she still speaks, even though she is dead. After she had served God for her life, she got bone cancer, she stayed in the hospital, WEC sent another missionary Carol to help her, Carol said, she was overjoyed for the Lord, even she was so pain, she did not take pain-killer to stop pains.

      One day, Carol helped her to clean her body, she put her arm to her leg, but her leg was broken immediately. But she had the smile face all times, even she was in pains. She got many students from the local college. But she thanked God all times, not focus on Cancer, but God.

        Every year, all students and my Pastor couple will go to her grave and sing the praise & worship Chinese Songs, then praying and giving testimonies. In this special year, I was there, one old brother gave a testimony about Marta, he said, he has failed to the ground in his spiritual life, God will send Marta smiling face, it has made him to stand up again and keep going until next falling time.

         Then her grave writing on in Chinese: "她因這信, 她仍舊說話。" It means, "By her faith she still speaks, even though she is dead. How's grateful and precious for Marta life, she has always spoken others about Jesus who He is, and what He is doing Now. We only trust Him by our faith. Amen!

Focus on Jesus who is your faith source where comes from?

Releasing Your Faith

Read: Hebrews 11: 1; James 1: 5-8, 2: 14- 26; Galatians 2: 20

But when he asks, he must believe and not doubt, because he who doubts like a wave of sea...., That man should not think he will receive anything from the Lord,

James 1: 6-7 

   The Chinese story told about fool man who wants to move the mountain and casting to sea. But the village's people him, he, his children and his grandchildren start to level the mountain from generation to generation, before this foolish old man died, he has already seen the mountain which leveled to other place. On man believe his idea, then other men all put their thumbs up and praise his works and him.

   By faith, it is very hard lessons in Christian's lives, as Book of Jame said, faith without deed is dead. You can have faith, you never take action to fulfill what you believe it.

   I love and believe in Jesus with all my heart, with all soul, with all my spirit and with all my strength. For example, I want to publish Swahili language christian book, I need to choose a good English book, then I find one brother and seek one who can check final typing, I will type into Swahili, this brother will check my typing, Swahili is not mother tongue language. After that I need to design the front and back cover, then photocopies and a shop man put into one book and others. Moreover, I need to give the books away for Christians. I release my faith from my vision to have Swahili Christian books. It is called faith.

   In Hebrews 11: 1 said, "Now faith in being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see." I love a great spiritual woman of God, Joyce Meyer said, you gives offering money to the church, you don't only give out, but you need to release the faith for giving. It is a faith.

Tomorrow will speak Faith again!

God is Our Provider

Psalm 145: 8-21; Matthew 6:33

You open your hand and satisfy the desire of every living thing. Psalm 146: 16

   Today, I will tell you about God is our Provider. We have finance problems, we need to have finance broken in God's time.

   Last year, I had got 50 TSH (1 cent USD) for three weeks, But I believed that I would got 1,000 TSH (about 800 USD). That time, I had done eight days Crusade (outside area's preaching). I was faithful to go with my bike, going would spend about 45 minutes, coming back would spend about more than one hours. I rode my bike in dark night. I was overjoyed for every day. First day my Crusade, after my preaching, there were 11 people who wanted to believe in Jesus.  I remembered the Scripture verse said, "Seek first your Kingdom of God, everything will add to you." (Matthew 6:33). I believed his Word, I kept to declare about 1,000 TSH.

   Then one of my Singapore friend asked me over Skype, she asked me that how do you receive money? and she continued to ask me do you have money now? I answered 50 TSH, but she asked me 50 TSH was how much in USD, I said; "One cent". She laughed and promised me to send me some money. I had to wait for three weeks later.

   After Crusade, her offering had been through twice: one was 400 USD, another is 700 USD, it was over 1,000 TSH. God is gracious and compassionate. (Verse 8).

   I have had many testimonies as clouds (Hebrews 12:1-2). I had kept this 50 TSH for a long time, it had reminded me about God is being a good Father. He has known our needs, He is in control. Praise the Lord for ALL!

   We need to proclaim God's promises with His Word. Verse 9 said, "the Lord is good to all; he has compassion on all he has made." We proclaim that you are good all the time, what you have done or made with your compassion and rich in love. (V 8) Amen!

   Verse 11 said, "They will tell of the glory of your kingdom and speak of your might." Oh God, we will work in the Kingdom of God and our mouth speak all your might and testimony. Then we want to glorify your Name on high. Amen!

   Verse 13 said, ".... The Lord is faithful to all his promises and loving toward all he has made." Thank you to the Lord, You are faithful one to all, your love is full of joy what you have done. Your promise and word speak out, all things will fulfill, not returning empty. (Isaiah 55:11). Amen!

   Verse 14 said, "The Lord upholds all those who fall and lifts up all who are bowed down."  Oh Lord! You uphold all those who fall in their spiritual life or trust, we repent and turn aways from our wrong doing. Please you lifts us up, so that we can bow down on your feet. The true worship is knowing Jesus, the worship in Hebrew means a dog (we) licks the Master (Jesus) feet. So that we bow down to worship you as meaning of worship. Amen!

   Verse 18 said, "The Lord is near to all who called on him to all who call on him in truth." Jesus said to Samaritan woman about where do they worship. Jesus said, "God is spirit and his worshipers mus worship in Spirit and in truth." (John 4:24). Jesus, we need to call on your Name, because you are close to brokenhearted and crash in spirit. (Psalm 34: 18). We call on your Name, we know you and who you are in truth. The Spirit of God is there, there are free and truth. Amen!

   Verse 19 said, "He fulfills the desires of those who fear him; he hears their cry and save them." God, please you fulfills my needs or my desires, because we trust in you and fear you and you will our cry and please you save us and deliver us in His time. Amen!

   In the Name of Jesus, I break the finance hardship, it is not from God, but evil ones. Because every good and perfect gift is  from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights.(James 1: 17) All our proclaiming in the Name of Jesus, my finance will break through, I will seek first kingdom of God, please you add to me in my finance, my job providing and my husband or my wife prepared for me, ONLY for me in my benefit with your Promises. In the Name of Jesus, everyone says, "Amen!"

Trust in Him and Rest in His Promises

Turning Trials into Victory

Read: James 1:1-11; Romans 5: 3-5

Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds. Jame 1:2

     I love book of James so much. I believe that the most people have gone through all trials. No because you are Christians, even other religion people who can go same thing we are through NOW. I love Jesus' brother James who got revive after Jesus dead and raised again. The history praise James - Jesus' brother, he was a praying person, his knees were so tough, because he bowed the temple and praying all time, the Christians were called him as a pillar of church. Because he interceded from time to time, he could write it, whenever you face various trial with pure joy. You will say to me and Jesus: it is very hard, YES, I learn how to count my blessing one by one, then my joy comes back to me, we are the Christians who have negative thoughts all our lives. But God will give victory with the songs of triumphs. How wonderful God is with us to go through all big and difficult trials, you have Jesus, you will be overcome with your best friend Jesus. You shall thanks for these blessings.

        Jesus you turned my wailing into dancing, you removed my sackcloth and clothed me with Joy. (Psalms 30:11) Joyce Meyer loves this Scripture verse, she also wrote a book for it, the beauty for ashes. How beautiful, wonderful experience with amazed grace of Jesus. Because you go through all trials, verses 3-4 said, "because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything." It means all trials, you need to perseverance with your faith and without no understanding, unknown situation, but you trust God with your faith, then Perseverance must finish God's works, then you may be mature and complete, it may mean that you will have more faith, joy, love, peace, hope and self control (Galatians 4:22-23 Fruit of Holy Spirit).

         Romans 5: 3-5 said, "..... we rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance, perseverance, character; and character, hope, And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us." We need Holy Spirit who work in us for trials or sufferings, perseverance produces character which the good testimony or Victoria  life. Then good character brings out hope which has never disappoint us, but encourage us every day. Holy Spirit pours out God's love to have a good hope for future. ( Jeremiah 29: 11).

         I hope that you rejoice in your good time and trail or suffer time. You will hear God who worshipers and says; "I never leave you nor forsake you." (Hebrews 13:51; Joshua 1: 5; 1 kings 9:57; Deuteronomy31: 6)  Thank you to the Lord for these Scripture Verses of God's Promises.

"Count it all Joy"

God chooses What we can go through it, He has already known our ways, But we can choose through various trials or sufferings with the great joy. And count it all joy, so that you may have triumphs or testimony through Jesus, Heavenly Father and Holy Spirit Trinity.

Judah Must Plow

Hosea 10: 11, Joshua 6: 2-20,
2Chronicles 20:15-30, Genesis 49: 8-12

I will drive Ephraim, Judah Must plow, and Jacob must beak up the ground.
Hosea 10: 11

Then some Levites from the Kohathites and Korahites stood up and Praised the Lord, the Lord will be with you.
2 Chronicles 20: 19

        One time, I preached the Small group at First Christian church in Alliance, Nebraska. God wants me to use these Scripture verses again.  Not for sins, but Praise is beginning Holy Spirit who works the hearts of men or win the battles with praise. God said, "Listen, the King Jehoshaphat and all who live in Judah and Jerusalem people said, "Take up your POSITIONS; stand firm and see the deliverance the Lord will give you, O Judah and Jerusalem. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged. God out to face them tomorrow, and the Lord will be with you. (2Chronicles 20: 15, 17) In verse 22 said, "As they began to sing and Praise, the Lord set ambushes against the men of Ammon and Moab and Mount Seir who were invading Judah, and they were defeated. The battles are belong to God who will lead us to win with taking our POSITIONS up.


   Judah is one of Jacob (Israel) sons, Judah is mean Praise, you can read Genesis 49: 8-12 told about Jacob blesses his son Judah, verse 8 said, "Judah (Praise in Hebrew), your brothers will praise you; your hand will be on the neck of your enemies; your father's sons will bow down to you. (promise for Kingship)" Verse 10 said, "The scepter will not depart from Judah, nor the ruler's staff from between his feet, until the comes to whom it belongs (until Shiloh comes; or until he comes to whom tribute belongs) and the obedience of the nations is his. This verse was prophecies about Jesus who came as the King of Kings, the Lord of Lords, all nations obey Jesus and belong to Him. The Kings or leaders would not leave Judah as King David and born the new King as Jesus. (Matthew 1:6-11, 13-16)


   Praise the Lord, God starts to make a way there seems to be no way, He opens the way, we can not see. He will make a way for me. (Don Moen sang this song).

Hold your positions and praise the Lord with singing, shouting and music. God will go to fight for You in His Name sake.

Thank You!

Praying ALWAYS!

Read: Acts 12:1-16

So Peter was kept in prison, but the church was earnestly praying to God for him. Acts 12: 5

        Peter has no idea what is happening, he thought he saw the vision. Verses 8-9 said,Then the angel said to him (Peter), "put on your clothes and sandals." And Peter did so. "wrap your cloak around you and follow me." the angel told hi. Peter followed him out of the prison, but he had no idea that what the angel was doing was really happening. he thought he was seeing a vision. All the happening was so fast, Peter could not recognize the vision or reality.


         It is the prayer which brings effective power (James 5:16). We don't need to understand ALL, but we pray the things are together for Good to those to whom God has loved, according His purpose. (Romans 8:28) Sometimes, we have to take out our no answer prayer's mind. We may say, "It is so hard or big for God!" But Word of God for today tells us, "Praying Always!" It is your powerful and fruitful life today.


        Anna, a Taiwan girl, visited me for three weeks, I drove her and my servant girl Maria to Mikumi National Park, but we was out of oil, I was driving mile and mile, there were no petrol station. Then my right front tire was cutting off the skin, I discovered that I could not stop the car, we went to crash opposite truck. But I prayed to God to deliver me on time, after I stopped the car, my hearts were grateful Jesus who has done for me or for us. The worse things were not stopping. And then I asked Maria to ask people to help us. She asked and directed me to turn right, I drove so slowly as turtle, then I made right turning. There were Mikumi National Park, my car had various problems. We visited there car parking area, we couldn't get into the park.


         Then I asked Maria to find out where we could fix the car, then she told that she knew and said, "Mikumi downtown!" After that we were going up to Mikumi downtown, Anna told me that you need to know how many minutes we could arrive the town, so I asked Maria again, how long we could arrive town, she told us that she didn't know it. Anna and I decide to turn to Morogoro, our town. But my car finally ran off petrol. We stopped on side of high way. Moreover, I asked Anna to stop any car or truck to help us. Another worse thing, my cell phone battery was dead, I could not read a message for brother Steve and other people. Then I used Maria cell phone to send out messages for help, and her battery was dead too. All our hope had gone, Anna was culture shock so much and she was silent. Until Maria had stopped one truck, one man came and help us, but he did not have any tools to change tire. I was just praying and trust in God. After that another Indian family car stopped, he had the tool to change my spare tire. Praise the Lord! We got the tire. But we didn't have petrol, Anna & I gave all money for buying petrol, then this truck man and Maria went and bought petrol. I was taking pictures for views and my foot, then I sang gospel songs until they returned.


        They got some petrol, this man put into my oil tank, my car could walk, that man and Maria wanted to go to Mikumi National Park, but Anna and I just wanted to go back Morogoro home, I told them that we wanted to return back Morogoro. God is good all the time, we returned to Morogoro town, I drove to Supper market, I went to ATM and took some money for petrol. After that my car just made to petrol station, but not getting petrol way, then I asked to push my car and got a lot petrol.


        The true experience tell us, we need to pray ALWAYS, whatever is good or bad time. Psalm 118:5 said; "I called on the Lord in distress; the Lord answered me."

Prayer is an answer for God who will deliver you in His time, NOT yours.

Praying holy hands which have always worked in the Kingdom of God, NOW are you praying?

The Worry Trash Bin

Read: Philippians 4:1-9; Psalm 68: 19 

Do not worry about your life. Matthew 6:25

Praise be to the Lord, to God our Savior who daily bears out burdens. Psalm 68: 19

         Apostle Paul said, rejoice in the Lord always, I will say it again: Rejoice! (V 4) He said you need to take out your worries and anxiety to God by prayer, petition with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. (V6-7)


        Because worry will rob us of joy, drains us of energy, stunts our spiritual growth and dishonors God. Jesus also said, "Di bit worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble." (Matthew 6:34)


        We needs focus on God's ability, not we can do, but He can do for us. When the worries are in our minds, they have war with our spirits, our minds are battles of field as Joyce Meyer book. We need to worries out as trash Bin, you need to take out trash out off our minds and hearts, so that our hearts will have peace with all understanding. This is the perfect peace, content and The Purpose Driven Life with Rick Warren in 40 days. Then Rick and Joyce are God's instruments for modem Christian lives. I have adored them for many years and I read their books and DVDs or audios. They have spoken the truth from time to time, now there are few speaking the truth for the Kingdom of God. There are two, my favorite ones.


         Get into my topic, your house has trash bins, you need to take out, let God deal all your problems and worries for your behalf. So that your life is real joy and peace for the Lord. Because the joy of the Lord is your strength. You have peace, you don't have anxious things in mind. How about all? You take out your trash bin out, for the Lord, your God takes care of you today with His love and hope (Jeremiah 29:11).

When we take out our anxiety and worry in God's hand, He will put His peace into our heart.
