God is the author and the Finisher of your Faith

Hebrews 10:39 But we are not of those who shrink back and are destroyed, but of those who believe and are saved.

In believing in salvation; for you body, soul and spirit, physically, mentally and socially-
The bible tells us that we need to hold in rememberence and imitate those who through faith inherit God's promises. Hebrews 6 :12

Romans 6:9 looks at Abraham - verse :2o says "He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God;

21And being fully persuaded that, what he had promised, he was able also to perform.

22And therefore it was imputed to him for righteousness.


Be encouraged in The word and by the word- have faith and confidence in God- Look to Jesus, for he has fullfilled your every need in His love.

Hebrews 12 :2 "Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of [our] faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God."

Struggles, and doubts of this world may try to come against you, but through faith you are simply able to stand boldly and confidently on the victories of Jesus, whom has purchased your salvation - SIMPLY ,BELIEVE ,RECIEVE, repent and stand assured FORGIVEN in your faith.

- Faith Testimony -The year before last, whilst studying at Faith Bible training center with RHEMA MELBOURNE, I heard one of the best words that set my spirit free, more over it set my soul free- It wasn't that I hadn't heard it before, but rather I was at a place in my life where I guess I really needed to hear it-

It was a simple word, taught over and over in class, that should be so obvious in faith, but sometime's we can still find a struggle in our heart.

And so it was like rain falling on dry ground. And it brings me comfort when I am feeling spiritually overwhelmed to push all else aside and lift high the name and victory of Jesus - The word was " THAT FAITH IS A REST"When we are truly in faith, we have peace and confidence, we are not trying to get something, that WE ALREADY HAVE Hearing this over and over in class was a great reminder and discerner of my heart.
When we TRULY are resting in the victories of God it really does bring alive; the peace and assurance of faith in our hearts.

"Generational curses" Why do people complicate the LIFE giving flow of GOD that is simply NOT COMPLICATED?? ARE YOU A BELIEVER?

Corinthians 2:14 "But thanks be to God, who always leads us in triumphal procession in Christ and through us spreads everywhere the fragrance of the knowledge of him."

Jesus came to free man from, sin, to bridge the gap and to remove the fear of Judgement! 1John 4:8 "Perfect Love casts out FEAR :)

"Generational curses" and "soul ties" teaching, from so called "believers" is a load of GARBAGE! It makes me so Angry that this teaching still exists in the church and the house of God today. It is unbiblical and i would be as bold to say that it is a deceptive form of witchcraft.
Generational curses are attached to the law of sin and death,it apposes all victory that Jesus has purchased for you at calvary.

It is such a twisted teaching that just laughs in the face of what price Jesus has paid and the power of God; to set the sinner free!

You see Generational curses in the old testement were attached to judgements - a result of a sinner, who is living outside of the blessings of God. The consequences of sin are from mans own free choice, living in constant rebellion to God.

God is not the authour of destruction, whatever calamity surrounds your life is simply a result of your choices or powers of darkness that have no authority in a believers life.

Teaching on generational curses to a new testement believer , is un biblical, in this age of Grace. It opens doors to the mind and then to the heart- for depression, anxiousness, fear, stife and turmoil. Above all else, guard your heart, for it is the wellspring of life. proverbs 4:23 + As a man thinks in his heart so he is! Proverbs 23:7

This is what my bible says, And it is Good news to the BELIEVER :)

2 Cor 5:17-19 “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come! All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation: that God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting men's sins against them. And he has committed to us the message of reconciliation.” NIV
So often, all too often i have heard within the church walls "generational curses," taught to the believer?? Leaving christians more bound and confused about christianity than when they first heard the GOOD NEWS PREACHED!

Jesus came to free the sinner from sin and deaths hold, .....Ephesians 6: 10-13

“Finally, be strong in the lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor of God o that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms”.
....................................

15And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it. collossians 2 :15

He stripped the rulers and authorities [of their power] and made a public spectacle of them as he celebrated his victory in Christ.

Jesus came to bind up the wounds of the brokenhearted AND TO SET THE CAPTIVES FREE!!read is.61:1-3 + Luke 4:17-19

Don't let the enemy have any area of your mind or your heart!

Heb 1:3
3 Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;Hebrews 11:6 tells us what pleases God: "…without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who seek Him."Faith is something so vital to our christian walk that it will breath life into you and blessings from a proud heavenly father.

Our faith is what holds us to salvation.

Heb 2:1-3 (Phi) We ought, therefore, to pay the greatest attention to the truth that we have heard and not allow ourselves to drift away from it. For if the message given through angels proved authentic, so that defiance of it and disobedience to it received appropriate retribution, how shall we escape if we refuse to pay proper attention to that greater salvation which is offered us? For this salvation came first through the words of the Lord himself.


Don't neglect to hold in rememberence salvation, the message that you heard when you first believed, salvation for EVERY area of your Life.

Salvation a free gift from God, so that daily we are able to come unto the throne of God's grace and recieve His love forgiveness and mercy to stand in His righteousness through the Love and forgiveness of God- Washed in His BLood!
In keeping a right mind, I believe so strongly that Jesus gave us a key scripture that teach's us how we should keep, look after and encourage each other into living a life of faith that and righteousness that truly pleases God.

"And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what [is] that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God." - Romans 12:2

Our mind needs the word of life daily, as the soul continually forgets, it needs continually to be reminded and renewed to the love, the kindness and the goodness of God, through Jesus!

"So then faith [cometh] by hearing, and hearing by the word of God." Romans 10 :17

Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen. For by it the men of old gained approval. By faith we understand that the worlds were prepared by the word of God, so that what is seen was not made out of things which are visible. By faith Abel offered to God a better sacrifice than Cain, through which he obtained the testimony that he was righteous, God testifying about his gifts, and through faith, though he is dead, he still speaks. By faith Enoch was taken up so that he would not see death; and he was not found because God took him up :) for he obtained the witness that before his being taken up he was pleasing to God. And without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is and that He is a rewarder of those who seek Him. By faith Noah, being warned by God about things not yet seen, in reverence prepared an ark for the salvation of his household, by which he condemned the world, and became an heir of the righteousness which is according to faith. By faith Abraham, when he was called, obeyed by going out to a place which he was to receive for an inheritance; and he went out, not knowing where he was going. By faith he lived as an alien in the land of promise, as in a foreign land, dwelling in tents with Isaac and Jacob, fellow heirs of the same promise; for he was looking for the city which has foundations, whose architect and builder is God. By faith even Sarah herself received ability to conceive, even beyond the proper time of life, since she considered Him faithful who had promised. Therefore there was born even of one man, and him as good as dead at that, as many descendants AS THE STARS OF HEAVEN IN NUMBER, AND INNUMERABLE AS THE SAND WHICH IS BY THE SEASHORE. (Hebrews 11:1-12)

Finally my thoughts are " GREATER IS HE THAT IS IN YOU THAN HE THAT IS IN THE WORLD"

THE HOLY SPIRIT IS ALIVE AND WELL WITHIN YOU! "The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart" (that is, the word of faith which we preach): that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation." Romans 10:6 11





THE ONLY CURSES THAT EXIST, ARE THAT WICH WE CHOOSE TO WALK IN!

I AM, BECAUSE HE IS

Romans 5:5 Tell's us

And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.


The Love of God, the Father- always causes "you" to overcome, walk in forgiveness and triumph. If God loves me, to forgive me of my sins then in turn i have all ability to choose to walk in love and forgive others. Sometimes it seems as though, an overwhelming abount of heartache can be facing you,- But God the father is love and we know that His love never fails. It may seem that you can't scratch the surface of your hurts, but we can not even scratch the surface of God's love that he longs to fill our heart.

1Corinthians 13: 4-8

4: Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; 5 does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; 6 does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; 7 bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
8 Love never fails.
