Jas 1:19 . Therefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger:
๐๐พThis counsel has saved many from pain and regrets
In Ephesians 1 vs 19, Paul under the influence of the Holy Spirit used two adjectives to describe the Resurrection power:
*huperballล* {to transcend , surpass, exceed or excel} & *megethos*{greatness}.
These two adjectives show how powerful and far reaching this power is
A 17th-century physician and author Sir Thomas Browne wrote "Death is the cure for all diseases."
But I have seen that the Resurrection power is what cures all diseases even death
Today is our special Resurrection Sunday edition of "Healing in His Wings" and we will be shown how the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus secured our Healing and how we can claim what has become ours.

Romans 12:8 TPT
[8] If you have the grace-gift of encouragement, then use it often to encourage others. If you have the grace-gift of giving to meet the needs of others, then may you prosper in your generosity without any fanfare. If you have the gift of leadership, ...
Romans 12:7 TPT
[7] If your grace-gift is serving, then thrive in serving others well. If you have the grace-gift of teaching, then be actively teaching and training others.
Romans 12:6 TPT
[6] Godโs marvelous grace imparts to each one of us varying gifts. So if God has given you the grace-gift of prophecy, activate your gift by using the proportion of faith you have to prophesy.
Be generous when dispensing the Grace of God in your life!
Don't hoard it!
We don't do Kingdom work with a scarcity mentality!
Remember this: "There's always more from where that came from"
I HAVE A FEAR
For I fear we are in an hour where men labor much, but their works are written in Heaven as iniquity.
The Lord Himself warned us:
โMany will say to Me in that day, Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name? and in Your name cast out demons? and in Your name do many mighty works? Then will I say to them, I never knew you; depart from Me, you workers of lawlessness.โ (Matthew 7:22โ23).
This is not a warning for pagans. It is for preachers. For men who used His Name. For men who worked in His House. And yet, at the end, they discover their ministry was rebellion dressed as labor.
Oh, how this should make us tremble.
Our generation has perfected the art of ministry without the Spirit.
We know how to brand our works.
We know how to organize our meetings.
We know how to trend our messages.
We know how to gather men, but we do not know God.
We have learned how to build platforms.
How to attract crowds without God's pattern.
How to produce results that look powerful on earth but are powerless before God.
And the earth claps.
The systems applaud.
Men confer titles, crowns, recognition.
But God is not deceived.
The Judge does not measure by numbers, but by obedience.
Not by visibility, but by faithfulness.
Not by the multitude of men who follow you, but by the stature of Christ formed in them.
And I weepโฆ because many do not see the danger.
We are teaching men to rejoice in shadows,
To mistake applause for approval,
To call noise the move of God,
When in fact, it is rebellion wearing the mask of progress.
This is the sorrow:
Many of the works we call โthe move of Godโ are nothing but towers of Babel.
Yes, they rise high, but their foundation is rebellion.
Yes, they are loud before men, but they are silent before God.
And God weeps while men clap.
A man can raise sons who never knew the Father.
A ministry can multiply branches God never planted.
A preacher can trend online, yet his name carries no weight in the courts above.
We can call it โKingdom,โ
But in Heaven, it is written down as iniquity.
Oh, what sorrow.
That we may spend our years in labor,
And discover at the end that we never built for Him.
That we may shout โLord, Lord,โ
And hear Him whisper back, โI never knew you.โ
Beloved, can we not feel the grief of the Spirit?
We are running fast, but in the wrong direction.
We are building tall, but not upon His foundation.
We are laboring much, but not in His will.
This is why God is calling: Return!
Return to obedience,
Return to labors that are recorded in Heaven, not works applauded by men.
Return to the trembling of men who would rather be unknown on earth,
Than to be rejected in eternity.
A FINAL LAMENT
Oh Church, do you not see?
It is possible to win the earth and lose Heaven.
It is possible to gather men and yet be a stranger to God.
It is possible to labor day and night,
And still hear the most dreadful words in eternity:
โI never knew you.โ
I weep as I write this.
For better to be nameless in time and known in eternity,
Than to be celebrated here,
And cast away before the Lamb.
Your Brother,

It is difficult to be a "person of His Presence" if His Presence has not been portrayed to you either through teachings, personal study or by Revelation
Meditate on verses that speak of His Presence, so that when you close your eyes in worship, you will be gazing at His beauty
Unforgiveness causes one to service a bitter pudding to the innocent when the guilty is unavailable
Unforgiveness makes you build walls where roads should exist
Unforgiveness prevents one from overcoming the fear of being hurt (again)
People in this state would use words like: "I can't allow anybody to hurt me like that anymore"
Unforgiveness kills vulnerability
Unforgiveness prevents personal advancement
Forgive and keep moving!
I have observed that it's almost impossible to defeat a generous spirit. A spirit that truly acts as a channel for God to pour forth his grace through you into the lives of others can not be conquered. Whatever you throw at such an individual or group will only reveal a hidden layer of strength within. This is because agape love, which is an unconquerable benevolent spirit, never fails. Don't waste your next stone. Attacking a spirit of love and service doesn't work.
Why arenโt you doing what God called you to do? ๐ It's Obedience Season! Remember, if God told you to do something, He will provide all the resources you need. ๐ฟ๐
