KEEP PRESSING FORWARD
Many people today get satisfied where they are. They feel what they
wanted to achieve they have achieved. They get complacent. That is not
the principle in Christian Life. God wants us to move forward. Many
people think Alright I have reached my goal. Have a nice job. I am
settled. This is the attitude of many Christians. We cant be like the
people of the world. You know friend the creator of the universe has
placed in you seeds of greatness and creativity. He wants to demonstrate
his power through you. Remember you serve a BIG GOD. SO DREAM
BIG. God wants you to reach the next level. He wants to give you the
promotion, to be a topper, make you No1 in business etc. So get ready to
experience Gods goodness and dont settle down. Let him show his
goodness in your life. Dont say I cant achieve my goals. I have gone as
far as my parents have gone. No friend, Philippians 4:13 says I can do allthings through Christ who gives me strength. So that means you can In
His strength. Shine forth in the light of Jesus.
Most of the time what happens is someone might have spoken ill about
you or negative thoughts grips your mind and heart. Shake that off. I
know many teachers who tell children you have no potential.
Something is wrong with you. Let them say. But God says you are
strong and I have placed the capacity in you. My seed I have planted ofgreatness. So move forward. God performs his greatest miracles in
your todays and not yesterdays. Remember out of your greatest
rejection comes the greatest direction. So dont settle down for
mediocrity. Stay in faith and give your best shot in whatever you do.
Surely youll see victory and not failure.
My dear friends in Christ remember you are the child of the Most
High God; You are called to be a victor and not a victim. You have
got the greatest potential inside you. So get ready for your greatest
victory in Jesus. I believe and declare that youll achieve your goal
and youll show forth His goodness.
Confess Everyday as you get up:

Today is great day God has given to me. Thank God that I am alive
and healthy. The favor of God is upon me. I am the head and not the
tail. I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. I will reach
my goal. I speak in faith that I am a winner. Amen!
If you receive this say Amen!!!
God bless you
GRACE IS THE KEY TO ANOINTING
There is a connection between grace and anointing. When I got this
revelation I just wept and just thanked the lord for revealing it to me.The lord was speaking to me and saying many of the people are
struggling to draw close to me. For most of us praying has become like
work. We think that we can receive more anointing if we pray for more.
It is not the question of how much you pray. It is you have to experience
the love of the father. My friend know that Jesus loves you so much. He
is your loving father who cares for you. The thing to know is Jesus for
you and not against you. He has the best in store for you and always
wants to be with you. John 1:16 says: And of his fullness have all we
received, and grace for grace. That means we are made whole in Christ.
It is His righteousness we have and so the grace of God keeps increasing
everyday. So when you know this truth you draw more close to him.
Grace is the free gift of God we have received. And it is in this GRACE
that you have been accepted in the beloved. Ephesians 1:6 declares it: To
the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in
the beloved. Amen!
The anointing of God is the Holy Spirit. He flows as a river of love, fromthe throne of grace, through the hearts of believers, bringing life to all
that receive His touch.
We must know this as grace is a gift from God so is anointing.

(John 4:10 NKJV) Jesus answered and said to her, "If you knew the gift
of God, and who it is who says to you, 'Give Me a drink,' you would have
asked Him, and He would have given you living water."
(John 4:13-14 NKJV) Jesus answered and said to her, "Whoever drinks
of this water will thirst again, {14} "but whoever drinks of the waterthat I shall give him will never thirst. But the water that I shall give him
will become in him a fountain of water springing up into everlasting
life."
(2 Corinthians 1:20-22 NKJV) For all the promises of God in Him are
Yes, and in Him Amen, to the glory of God through us. {21} Now He
who establishes us with you in Christ and has anointed us is God, {22}
who also has sealed us and given us the Spirit in our hearts as aguarantee.
So it is quite clear anointing is a free gift. We have to just receive it.
So when you realize you are made complete in Christ and you keep
drawing from Jesus you will see the change in your life.
My friend Jesus called you to be his disciple. He chose you before the
foundation of the earth. So draw close to him. Just soak in the loveanointing. The anointing brings joy and peace. It is not a fight to get
anointing. Ask Jesus and he will give you. You will soak in His presence
and more and more.
So know this that Jesus loves you and this love overflows like a river. So
overflow in the love anointing.
God bless you.
COVENANTS IN THE BIBLE
Single most important key word in the Bible is covenant.
Reflect on these questions
1. How many covenants are there in the Bible?
8/3/2019 Keep Pressing Forward
4/71
2. And how many of them affect me as a Christian?
3. What is a covenant/
A covenant is a binding agreement based on promises and
commitments.
What is the difference between a contract and covenant?
Contract- it is between two equal partners
Covenant- Unilateral, one party settles the term, the stronger one.
In the Bible God (stronger person) makes covenant with man (weaker
one).
Example of covenant is making a will.
Our God is a covenant making God and covenant keeping God. He
bound himself voluntarily with man through covenants.
There are five covenants in the Bible
1. Noahs covenant
2. Abrahamic covenant3. Mosaic covenant
4. Davidic covenant
5. New covenant
Except the Mosaic covenant all the four covenants are important for
us as Christians.
1. Noahs Covenant: Made with creation
Reference: Genesis chapter 8,9
It is in operation even now.
Promise: Seed time and harvest time, seasons
Sign of the covenant: Rainbow- GODS WEDDING RING
8/3/2019 Keep Pressing Forward
5/71
2. Abrahamic Covenant: Covenant made with Abraham
Reference: Gen 12:3, Gen 15:8,Gen 17:2,Gen Chapter7,10
Promise: Promise land made with Abraham and his descendants.
All nations of the world blessed through Abrahams seed.
Sign of Abrahams Covenant- circumcision
3.Mosaic Covenant
Reference: Exodus Ch 19,Ch 24:4-8
Made with children of Israel
Promise: Occupation of promise land
This covenant was conditional. Keeping the law
636 laws and commandments. If you obey blessing and disobey
cursing.
This covenant ended with the institution of new covenant.
4. Davidic Covenant
Reference: 2Samuel 7: 12-16, Ch 17
Promise: Throne of David being made everlasting.
Finally Messiah the king will sit on Davids throne as King of Kings
and rule all over Israel and nations of the world.
6. New Covenant through Jesus Christ
Reference: Hebrews 9:16-17
New covenant made through the Blood of Jesus.
It was announced in the old Testament fulfilled in the New Testament
8/3/2019 Keep Pressing Forward

It became effective after death of Jesus.
It is an individual and internal covenant.
BELIEVING THE IMPOSSIBLE
Our God is a great and awesome God who created you and me. Many
times we think our problem is too big and forget who God is. My
friend He is the creator of the Universe. He has not forgotten you and
he has carved you on the palm of His hand. He is your loving father.
And yet we say why did this happen to me? When will I come out of
it? This is not fair? Yes it is true. Many times things happen though
we didnt expect it. But all things work together to do those who love
the lord. So you say like David I will say of the Lord he is my refuge
and fortress. In whom will I trust.
When you focus on a big God your problem turns small. Just believe
and you will see God will take you through the problem.
You may say Cali I have this pain since a long time? I have financial
problem. The doctor has told I wont be healed and the experts say I
cant come out of this debt. But my friend we serve a mighty God. He
is Jehovah Jireh the God who supplies all your needs. He is JehovahRapha your healer. So confess the word By His stripes I am healed.
Jehovah Jireh will supply all my needs. Keep believing. Gods word
will never turn void. Though heaven and earth will fail His word will
still remain. He will do miracles in your life. You will be surprised.
Jesus died for you and me so that we may be set free from bondage.
And we live in him. You know the same power that raised Jesus from
the dead dwells in you. So proclaim his word. See the impossible
happen. It just takes faith of a mustard seed. Start believing and
receive from His throne of Grace.
I tell you child of God you will experience the breakthrough in your
life. As I had told you earlier this year the Lord gave me a prophetic
word
1 Corinthians 2:9
8/3/2019 Keep Pressing Forward
7/71
But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have
entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for
them that love him.
Definitely God will bring forth deliverance. I remember the song we sing
Celebrate the victory of the Lord. For he has done mighty things yetagain and he will do it again. I declare in Jesus name.
This is my prayer to all of you
Father in the name of Jesus I come before your throne of Grace. I
pray for all those who are going through times of difficulty and need
in their lives. Jesus you know their needs. Lord right now I pray for
Breakthrough in the name of Jesus. I pray for those who sick be
healed in the name of Jesus. Finances be met in Jesus name. Lord
show forth your goodness in their life. Their life shall never be the
same again. I pray for those who desire jobs Jesus you hold our
future, give them the best job. Thank you Lord you have done it.
Lord your word says all the promises are yes and amen in Christ
Jesus. So Lord I thank you for hearing my prayer and delivering the
people. In Jesus name Amen.
My friend God has touched you and given you the victory. Walk infaith and victory.

THE POWER OF PRAYING AND WORSHIPING IN TONGUES
But the hour cometh and now is, when the true worshippers shall
worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to
worship him.
God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit
and in truth. John 4:23-24
mailto:[email protected]:[email protected]8/3/2019 Keep Pressing Forward
8/71
Ephesians 5:18-19 Be ever filled with the Spiritsing and make music
in your heart to the Lord.
The way we pray and sing must be in the Spirit. Now this singing and
praying in the spirit has a special meaning. It means to pray and sing in
an unknown tongue which the Holy Spirit has enabled us to do.
It may be that we cannot understand nor the person around us but it is
understood by God because it is by His Spirit.
1 Corinthians 4:12
For he that speaketh in an unknown tongue speaketh not unto men, but
unto God: for no man understandeth him; howbeit in the spirit he
speaketh mysteries.
Apostle Paul tells us that sometimes we dont know what to pray and
how to pray that time the Holy Spirit prays through us in a language
which we cannot understand but God does. He intercedes on behalf of
us. (Romans 8:26, 27)
Child of God Pray in tongues more. This will change your life. Praying
in tongues is the greatest weapon you have to live a victorious life. The
more you pray in tongues you see breakthroughs in your life. The reason
why I am stressing is when we pray in our mother tongue or the
language we speak it is of the world and the devil can understand. But
when you pray in tongues it is only God who understands and the power
of darkness is broken. You will see a change in your life.
Friend medical science has proved that those who pray n tongues their
immunity power increases. Wow! It is a blessing for all of us. That
means we can be in perfect health. Dont worry if you dont have the giftof tongues ask the Holy Spirit he will give you. Praying in tongues is a
powerful tool and gracious gift of Gods Holy Spirit. It should be a part
of our daily devotional life.
People of God we have to sing in tongues. That is the most awesome
thing to do. You will experience the presence of God even more and you
8/3/2019 Keep Pressing Forward
9/71
will just soak in His love anointing. Even as you sing in tongues God will
give you new anointed songs. Just get ready to soak in His presence and
know that His Grace is sufficient for you.
My prayer to those who have not received the gift of tongues after
accepting Jesus as your savior. Beloved even as you read this prayerjust believe and receive the anointing in Jesus name. You will experience
the fire of the Holy Spirit powerfully.
Father in the name of Jesus I pray for the people who have read your
word and are seeking for the gift of tongues. Lord I speak that you
would fill them with the gift of tongues right now in Jesus name Lord fill
them now so that they will glorify your name and may grow strong in
you. Lord I release the anointing now in Jesus name on the peopleslives. Lord even as they receive the gift of tongues I pray that they will
be blessed and they will walk in perfect health as your word says so as
your soul prospers your health shall prosper. I declare in Jesus name.
Thank you Jesus for hearing my prayer. In Jesus name I pray Amen.
Child of God if you received the gift of tongues would love to hear from
you. Mail me @ [email protected] or post a comment or message me

PURPOSE OF PRAISE AND WORSHIP
PSALM 100:4
Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise; give thanks
to him and praise his name.
TWO REASONS FOR WHICH WE CAN PRAISE GOD
These reasons are Revelation of God
1. For who He is truth about Gods nature and character
2. For what He has done- gifts, blessings, protection, answers to prayers
etc.

1. Praise Him for Who He is
Praising God everyday for who He is will change your life. Praise God
for who he is-
He is your savior
He is faithful
He is healer
For his goodness and he is worthy of all our praise.
Psalm 22:3
Yet You are holy, O You who are enthroned upon the praises of Israel.
Jesus is for each day of the year. Praise him always.
2. Praise him for what he has done
Think of the blessings which God has bestowed you with that
thanksgiving is not sufficient. Because He has done so many things that
which we cant think or imagine. Thank him over and over again. It is
wonderful thing to do, but also keep it upto date. Think of something
each day or at night after the day you passed to thank the Lord in your
life. This will keep your prayer and praise life fresh.
WORSHIP
Worship is responding to Gods greatness by reverence, surrender,
bowing and kneeling down.
Worship is the highest form of praise.
Offering your bodies as a living sacrifice. Romans 12:1-2
Offering our bodies as a living sacrifice is spiritual worship to God. One
way is to kneel down. If you are unable to kneel sit before the Lord with
a humble heart. But it is better to kneel before the lord and submit and
8/3/2019 Keep Pressing Forward
11/71
offer ourselves to God. Dance before the Lord is another way to offer
your body. But offer your body in some way to the Lord each day. In
that way we can overcome the world, flesh and devil. Let us offer our
bodies to God in praise each day.
SING A NEW SONG
Psalm 96:1
Sing to the LORD a new song
With the Holy Spirit and His gifts
Three ways of Singing
Paul describes this
Ill sing in the spirit. 1 Corinthians 4:15
Paul used the gifts of the Spirit to help him sing new songs.
Eps 5:19
Speak to one another with psalms, hymns and spiritual songs. Sing and
make music in your heart to the Lord.
We sing in hymns and Psalms. Psalms is where we declare the greatness
of God.
Spiritual songs are new songs the Holy Spirit gives us when we worship
in Spirit.
Acts 16:25-26
25 About midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to
God and the other prisoners were listening to them. 26 Suddenly there
was such a violent earthquake that the foundations of the prison were
shaken. At once all the prison doors flew open, and everybody's chains
came loose.

12/71
There is so much of power when you sing praises to God especially in
tongues. Make it your habit to sing praises to God in tongues. As you do
so the Holy Spirit will give you new anointed songs.
WHATEVER EFFORT WE MAKE IN SINGING PRAISES TO OUR
GOD WILL BE A SWEET SOUND TO HIS EAR.
THINK POSITIVE
Most of us do talk about being positive and hear a lot about it too. Today
the concept of positive thinking is gaining a lot of importance. Thoughpeople know it can change their life style it is only a few who follow it.
Positive thinking is a mental attitude that admits into the mind
thoughts, words and images that are conductive to growth, expansion
and success. It is a mental attitude that expects good and favorable
results. A positive mind anticipates happiness, joy, health and a
successful outcome of every situation and action. Whatever the mind
expects, it finds.
It is quite common to hear people say: "Think positive! to someone
who feels down and worried. Most people do not take these words
seriously, as they do not know what they really mean, or do not consider
them as useful and effective.
8/3/2019 Keep Pressing Forward
13/71
Positive thinking makes one rise high in life. He\she does well in
interacting with people, practicing good habits and rising to high
positions in business. It is said that people who see it in a positive way do
find success. It depends on how we think. When we see a rose plant,
what do people say there are thorns and do not see the beauty of the
rose. But who is positive says the rose looks beautiful in spite of thorns.
We as Christians should be positive and rise in high position instead of
nagging at ourselves all the time.
Here are some tips to stay positive:
1. Have confidence in yourself.
2. Say to yourself You can Do It though it seems hard.
3. Think about your future; dont keep regretting the mistakes you
did in the past.
4. Pray to God that he may direct your path.5. Dare to Dream Big.
6. Keep smiling and stay joyful though the circumstances are bad.
And always remember YOU CAN BE BETTER NO MATTER
WHERE YOU ARE IN LIFE NOW.
MY TESTIMONY
I was born and brought up in a Christian family. From childhood I
loved the Lord and was always active in all church activities like singingand dancing. God blessed me to sing when I was just three. And my
parents were supportive. They brought me up in a Godly manner. My
dad being a pastor and my mom supported him in the ministry. They
taught me all about Jesus. But just because I was brought up in a
Christian house doesnt qualify me to be a child of God. I made a
decision to accept Jesus as my lord and savior when I was 14yrs old. And
the Lord began to work in my life. I took baptism in 2005 May 1st. I was
baptized in the Holy Spirit on November 1st 2004. I was also sensitive tothe Holy Spirit. I started growing stronger and stronger in the lord. My
dad and mom helped me to get the foundations of the word. I was a
witness in my school and college. My friends and teachers used to
respect me because I loved all and always spoke the truth. Best part was
I had a smile on my face in spite of having a skin problem because I
8/3/2019 Keep Pressing Forward
14/71
know my Jesus is the healer and he has healed me. My friend I would
love to tell you Salvation is the greatest miracle.
My devotion with God was ok when I was in Kudremukh but you know
Change is for the better. My dad got transferred to Mangalore. Being in
Mangalore my spiritual life got stronger. As I entered the church firstSunday the Holy Spirit filled me with his presence. I felt the fire of God I
never felt before. I attended many prayer meetings and many men of
God prophesized I will be used as an instrument to bring many souls to
the kingdom of God. In the year 2009 on a Sunday when the worship
was going on Jesus asked me this question Cali do you love me? He
asked my thrice just like he asked Peter. I wept and said lord you know I
love you. Then the same evening I wanted to confirm Gods will for me.
And I got the word Go into the world and preach the good news. Still Iwas not sure. On Tuesday I went for prayer at my church and God
spoke to me through this word Isaiah 44:15-16
15 "Can a mother forget the baby at her breast
and have no compassion on the child she has borne?
Though she may forget,
I will not forget you!
16 See, I have engraved you on the palms of my hands;
Your walls are ever before me.
I was just soaked in the presence of God.
After that I was literally fighting with God. If it is true that you are
going to use me confirm it. I didnt wait for long. Just after two weeks I
attended a revival meeting. As the pastor was sharing the word He asked
me to get up and said God is going to use me in Healing Ministry. As I
lay hands on people and pray theyll be set free. He told Ill carry the
presence of God everywhere. The anointing of the Holy Spirit has just
increased and it kept on increasing. Then four to 6months all the
8/3/2019 Keep Pressing Forward
15/71
meetings I went God just started confirming His call on my life.
Whatever prophetic word Ive got is just confirming. And I proudly say
what I am today is by the grace of God. The recent prophecy which got
confirmed was very recent. The preacher said I see the Grace of God
upon you. The robe of Righteousness is on you. And he spoke the same
word which I shared with you 1corinthians 2:9. My beloved it was the
same word I got when I got my calling.
However, as it is written:
"No eye has seen,
No ear has heard,
No mind has conceived
What God has prepared for those who love him"
My friend in Christ the same God who has done mighty things in my life
can do it in yours too. He is not a God of partiality. He loves you. He is
your Heavenly father who cares for you. I am sure you have been
encouraged. Have faith and you can move the mountains and can do all
things through Christ who gives you strength. Jesus said I have come to
give you life and life of abundance. What a mighty God we serve. God
works in ways we cannot see. Ephesians 3:20 says. Now to Him who is
able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think,
according to the power that works in us.
Amen! My friends walk in victory in Jesus. You are a victor in Christ
and not a victim. Jesus gave his last drop to save you. Wow! How much
he loves us. And by his wounds we are healed.
This is my prayer to you. Even as you read this prayer I believe the
presence of God will fill you and you will receive a touch from Jesus
Father in the name of Jesus I come before your throne of grace. You are
a loving and awesome God. Jesus I pray for all those who need a touch
8/3/2019 Keep Pressing Forward

from you. I pray for those who are depressed and worried about many
problems in their life. In the name of Jesus set them free right now. Lord
fill them with your presence. They may walk in victory and faith. Lord
you came to set the captives free. Thank you lord for delivering them. I
pray for those who are sick. Lord your word says BY YOUR STRIPES
WE ARE HEALED. Touch them and heal them Jesus. You are Jehovah
Rapha who heals. Thank you lord for healing. Lord I pray for those who
are in financial problems. Lord all their finances be met. You are
Jehovah Jireh the God who provides all our needs. Lord prosper them.
Bless their business and the place they work. Let it be fruitful. I pray
for those who need a fresh touch from you who want more of your
anointing. Holy Spirit fill them with your power. Let your presence just
fill them. I pray in the name of Jesus help them to grow strong in you
and use them for your glory. Thank you Jesus for you are prayeranswering God and your word never turns void. You are going to do
exceedingly abundantly above all things more than we ask or imagine.
Let this promise come to pass in the peoples lives. Because your word
says all promises are yes and amen in Christ Jesus. Thank you for
hearing my prayer and answering it. I pray in the name of Jesus coz
you alone deserve all the glory and honor in heaven and earth. Amen.
Friend believe God has touched you and you are going to walk in
victory. If you received a miracle. Would love to hear from you. You
can send in your Praise reports to [email protected] or comment or
send a message to my profile.
YOU ARE BLESSED
JESUS AS YOUR BEST FRIEND
If I ask you this question how many of you know this song Jesus you
are my Best friend you will always be and nothing will ever change
that. Many of your hands will go up. But my question is have you
experienced that intimate friendship with Jesus. All of us do have
friends. We have close friends with whom we share our thoughts,
feelings, problems. Most of us have gone through times where we felt no
one is with me to help me. Even my close friend doesnt understand me.

I dont know what I am going to do. I feel miserable. Are you that
person? Dont worry beloved I am here to encourage you and say Jesus
is your best friend. He will never leave you nor forsake you. He is the
best friend in the whole world. He would understand you well and make
you feel happy. He is closer than a brother. Wow! You know Jesus said
to his disciples I dont call you servants but friends. That means he
wants to be your friend. We can find a good example in the Bible. Jesus
had friends. It was Mary and Martha and their brother Lazarus. It is
found in John 11. Now Lazarus was sick and Martha called to Jesus. But
Jesus didnt come. When Lazarus had died he came. He saw Martha
and Mary weeping and Jesus wept too. But Jesus brought Lazarus back
to life. He is a mighty God. Through this scripture passage we can
understand that Jesus knows the pain we go through. He feels what you
feel. He is there to help you. He will comfort you. He will hug you andsay Child I love you. I am always with you! Indeed he is a true friend.
He is a friend forever. So whatever problems you may be facing
beloved. Tell to Jesus and draw close to him. You are never alone. Jesus
is right by your side.
A THANKFUL HEART
Being a child of God having an attitude of gratitude is important. Psalms
100:5 says Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts withpraise. Think of the blessings that God has bestowed on your life.
There are many. If you start counting and writing it down I think even
a big book is not enough. Jesus appreciated one leper who came back
and thanked Jesus for healing out of the 10 lepers healed. We can thank
God for many things he has done for us. He has given us salvation. He
protected you from an accident or helped you get a rank in your exam.
And He gave His life to save you from the punishment of sin. You know
friend Jesus gave up even the last drop of blood in His body just for youand me. We should really be grateful to him for what he has done in our
lives. My friend most of the times our prayer becomes bless me prayer.
Bless daddy, mummy, my sister, relatives and more of petitions. Lets
take a little time everyday to thank God for what He has done in our
lives every day. Before you sleep at night think of one thing that God has
helped you on that particular day. Like this you will realize
8/3/2019 Keep Pressing Forward

Thanksgiving has lot of power. When you thank God he smiles upon you
and He will do greater things in your life. So NEVER FORGET TO
THANK JESUS. When you see the daylight thank God for the day,
thank him for your job, thank him for the seasons. There is so much that
we can thank God for. So make thanksgiving a part of your life. Your
life will be blessed.
HAVE AN ATTITUDE OF GRATITUDE ALWAYS AND DONT
GRUMBLE!
HAVING A POSTITVE ATTITUDE TOWARS YOURSELF
My friend it is important to love yourself. Learn to appreciate who you
are. Ive seen many people who keep nagging about themselves saying I
am not attractive. I dont have what it takes. Shake that off. Belovedyou are made in the image and likeness of God. You know you were not
a mistake when you were created. God has designed you for a
particular purpose.
Psalm 139:14 says You are fearfully and wonderfully made. You have
the potential inside of you. The DNA of God is in you. Dont feel inferior
about yourself. Praise God for who you are. Psalm 139:13 says God knit
you in your mothers womb. Child of God be happy and praise Him
cause He created you. He knows every part of you. We may not be liked
by others and sometimes even our own people may reject us but Jesuswill never reject you. As David says In Psalms 27:10
Though my father and mother forsake me, the LORD will receive me.
What a God we serve. He is our heavenly father who will never leave us.
Friend I know what it feels to be rejected and not understood by others.
It does break your heart. But dont allow those thoughts to rule your
mind. Look at what Jesus says about you. You are my child I love you. I
am always with you. One more important thing is some of us do say we
are sill sinners. Who said so? We were sinners but we are washed by theBlood of Jesus and we are the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus. So
stop calling yourself a sinner. You are the righteousness of God. You are
all what God has created to be.
Let me declare this over you and you receive it by faith:
YOU ARE THE CHILD OF THE MOST HIGH GOD. YOU ARE A
CHAMPION OF HOPE. YOU ARE A VICTOR IN CHRIST. YOU

THE LAWS OF THE NEW TESTAMENT
6 But the ministry Jesus has received is as superior to theirs as the
covenant of which he is mediator is superior to the old one, and it is
founded on better promises.
7 For if there had been nothing wrong with that first covenant, no place
would have been sought for another.
New covenant is a better covenant. New covenant made through the
Blood of Jesus. He is the mediator. We must realize we are no longer
under the Old covenant. Jesus himself found fault with it. You know
people of Israel really struggled to keep the law. The law always
found fault with the people. But didnt show the way how to overcome
sin. So God sent His son Jesus and Jesus fulfilled the law on behalf of
us. It is all done done done! New Testament laws God has written onyour heart.
Hebrews 8:10-13
10 This is the covenant I will make with the house of Israel after that
time, declares the Lord.
I will put my laws in their minds and write them on their hearts. I will
be their God, and they will be my people.
11 No longer will a man teach his neighbor, or a man his brother,
saying, 'Know the Lord,' because they will all know me, from the least
of them to the greatest.
12 For I will forgive their wickedness and will remember their sins no
more."

13 By calling this covenant "new," he has made the first one obsolete;
and what is obsolete and aging will soon disappear.
Now what is the laws mentioned here People tend to mistake to Ten
Commandments. But what God is speaking is different. He speaks of
knowing the love of Jesus and being cleansed by the blood of theLamb. New covenant made through the Blood of Jesus. All their
affections, passions, and appetites, shall be purified and filled with
holiness and love to God and man; so that they shall willingly obey,
and feel that love is the fulfilling of the law: instead of being written
on tables of stone, they shall be written on the fleshly tables of their
hearts.
What we must always remember is we are made whole in Christ andsin has no longer have dominion over us. We should be righteousness
conscious and not sin conscious. So this will help you overcome sin.
Yes we may fall into sin but ask forgiveness and come back to God.
He wants you to come back. This is important. And you should know
how to receive forgiveness. I will remember your sins no more says
the Lord. That means know you are righteous. So dont think you are
a sinner. Once you accepted Jesus you have received his
righteousness. Amen!
Coming to the laws
1. The Law of love
Matthew 22:37-40
37 Jesus replied: "'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and
with all your soul and with all your mind.' 38 This is the first and
greatest commandment. 39 And the second is like it: 'Love yourneighbor as yourself.' 40 All the Law and the Prophets hang on these
two commandments.
Jesus fulfilled all the laws. You have already received in your heart
when you accepted Christ. First you should know the love of God.
Then only you can love Jesus.
8/3/2019 Keep Pressing Forward
21/71
1John 4:19
We love because he first loved us.
1John 3:23- LAW OF NEW TESTAMENT
And this is his command: to believe in the name of his Son, Jesus
Christ, and to love one another as he commanded us.
John 21:20
Peter turned and saw that the disciple whom Jesus loved was
following them.
John called himself as the disciple whom Jesus loved. Even we arepeople whom Jesus loved. So call yourself as
Most loved disciple- ..(put your name)
2. Law of Spirit which gives life in Christ Jesus
Romans 8:1-2
Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ
Jesus, because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit of life set me
free from the law of sin and death.
We have got victory over sin through the Blood of Jesus.
We are dead to sin. And you have made alive in Christ. This concept
of dying to sin everyday is wrong. Many say die to sin everyday but
not be born again everyday. Well friend once you accepted Jesus you
are dead to sin once and for all. Walk and follow Jesus. Dont have sinconscious as I said earlier. Be righteous conscious.
Romans 5:17
If, by the trespass of the one man, death reigned through that one man,
how much more will those who receive God's abundant provision of
8/3/2019 Keep Pressing Forward
22/71
grace and of the gift of righteousness reign in life through the one man,
Jesus Christ.
So Reign life through Christ Jesus.
3. Law of faith
Romans3:27
Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? Of works? No, but
by the law of faith.
Have faith In Jesus. And press forward.
4. Law of Liberty
James 1:25But he who looks into the perfect law of liberty and continues in it, and
is not a forgetful hearer but a doer of the work, this one will be blessed
in what he does.
In Christ we are set free from the curse of the law.
We have access to Gods throne.
1Peter 2:9
But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His
own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who calledyou out of darkness into His marvelous light.
Have the sonship mentality. You are servants of God in the ministry but
dont have the mentality of a servant. You are son/ daughter of God.
Ezekiel 18:2
What do you mean when you use this proverb concerning the land of
Israel, saying:
'The fathers have eaten sour grapes,
And the children's teeth are set on edge'?
This verse speaks of generational curse. But my friend Jesus took even
the generational curse on the cross. You are set free.
I will tell you how. When Jesus drank the vinegar before he said it is
finished. He broke the generational curse.
Isaiah 54:9-10- COVENANT PROMISE
"For this is like the waters of Noah to Me;
8/3/2019 Keep Pressing Forward
23/71
For as I have sworn
That the waters of Noah would no longer cover the earth,
So have I sworn
That I would not be angry with you, nor rebuke you.
10 For the mountains shall depart
And the hills be removed,
But My kindness shall not depart from you,
Nor shall My covenant of peace be removed,"
Says the LORD, who has mercy on you
KNOWING WHO YOU ARE IN CHRIST
My dear friend it is important being a believer to know who you are in
Christ. Most of us do feel we are still sinners though we have accepted
Jesus. You know once you accepted Christ as your lord and savior youare made whole in Christ. You are the righteousness of God in Christ
Jesus. 2 Corinthians 5:21 says God made him who had no sin to be sin
for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God. That
means you have the righteousness of Jesus. Our righteousness is like
filthy rags. What a blessing. You know it means you are Holy as Jesus
is. You might wonder but friend it is a fact. Now lets look at Romans
5:17 For if, by the trespass of the one man, death reigned through that
one man, how much more will those who receive God's abundantprovision of grace and of the gift of righteousness reign in life through
the one man, Jesus Christ. So when you are born again you have got the
gift of righteousness. Colossians 2:9-10
For in Him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily; and you are
complete in Him, who is the head of all principality and power. Wow
arent you glad you are complete in Jesus. Yes it is true that we fall into
sin. But that time confess your sin and come back to Jesus. As I said
Jesus has already forgiven you. You ask in order to receive. But
receiving forgiveness is important. And my friend the Holy Spirit
doesnt condemn you that you have sinned but indeed reminds you of
your righteousness. And says turn back to me. SO KNOW YOU ARE A
SAINT. YOU ARE THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD IN CHRIST
JESUS. CONFESS IT EVERYDAY. This will help you to know how
much Jesus loves you and HIS GRACE IS SUFFICENT FOR YOU.

HAVE QUESTIONS MAIL ME.
JESUS HOLDS YOUR FUTURE
Most of us do think about our future many times. Or sometimes
literally worry about our future. But friend dont worry when Jesus is
with you. In Philippians 4:6 it says Do not be anxious about anything,
but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present
your requests to God. So pray to God. Your future lies secure in Jesus.
I am reminded of a song Because He lives I can face tomorrow. The
song goes on to says He holds my future. Jeremiah 29:11 says: For I
know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper
you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.
Remember God has the best in store for you. May be you feel yourfuture is not good cause you didnt get the right breaks. Or you may say
I have no proper education, I dont have the finances. But my beloved
you are a child of the most high God. He loves you more than your
earthly dad. He is Jehovah Jireh the God who supplies all my needs. So
dont worry be happy. Stay focused on Jesus and not the situation. Soon
enough you will get the right breaks at the right time. You are called to
be a champion of Hope. You are a victor and not a victim. You will see
the goodness of God in your life like never before. I declare this in Jesusname Amen!
WHEN YOU ARE BROKEN,GET UP!
Most of us have gone through broken relationships which really pains
us. A close friend turns back on you. Or your family relations are all
messed up. You feel alone and you feel like no one cares for me. But you
need not have to remain in that you are Gods child. Your heavenly
father cares for you more than your earthly father. Sometimes you feel
why I am all alone and no one loves me. My friend Jesus loves you and
he knows how you feel. Psalms 55:22 says Cast your cares on the LORD
and he will sustain you; he will never let the righteous fall. Just know he
is right by your side. When I am sad and I cry. I feel the love of Jesus
and he says Cali whoever puts you down dont worry I am with you. I
8/3/2019 Keep Pressing Forward
25/71
will wipe all your tears and make you sleep on my lap. Jesus is so sweet
and closer than a brother. Trust him always. You are never alone. Be
courageous Jesus is with you. Everything is made beautiful in his time.
So wait upon the Lord and he will lead you.
Blessings to you
STOP LISTENING TO ACCUSING VOICES
Too many people today live constantly under condemnation, constantly
listening to accusing voices. The Bible refers the enemy as accuser of the
brethren. Who would love to live our lives guilty and condemned. He
constantly brings accusation against us and wants us to feel guilty and
live condemned. You hear negative voices constantly bombarding your
mind. You lost your temper last week. You didnt pray or read theBible. You fought with your friend. Many of the people swallow this
up with no defense. They live a life of frustration, guilt and they are not
satisfied with themselves. Granted all of us are humans and cant be
perfect. You may hear a voice saying you are a failure. You wont get
that job. People hearing these voices become critical about themselves
and this spreads to others too. We have to learn to live in peace with
ourselves we must learn to put our foot down and say I may not be
perfect but I am growing. You may not be confident with yourself butGod is confident in you. God is not angry that you messed up. Apostle
Paul says that the things he knows he should do he doesnt and ends up
doing things which he shouldnt. Thats when we feel guilty. At that time
ask for Gods mercy to forgive you. You may feel you dont deserve it
but beloved that is Gods free gift. Dont live under condemnation.
Know this God is working on you and you are growing and learning.
Learn to receive Gods forgiveness and walk in Gods grace. And
remember friend NOTHING YOUVE DONE IS TOO MUCH FOR
THE MERCY OF GOD. And my dear beloved you are the apple of
Gods eye. You are his prized possession. Nothing you have ever done or
will do can keep God from loving you and wanting you to be good to
you.

CELEBRATING EVERYDAY
Most of us have gone through this attitude. Oh God! Today I have to get
to college. Class is so boring. No we have to change our attitude. Thank
God that he has given you a good day. Be excited. Most of us dont
realize how grateful we have to be to Jesus that we are able to do all our
works. We have good education or a good job. Many of them dont have
all these. They would love to go where you are going. Praise God for his
blessings and stay excited. We dont like our works. We get stagnant in
life. No you need to move forward everyday. Apostle Paul told Timothy
Fan your Flame. He was saying, Timothy dont let your fire go out.
Stay passionate about your life. Stay enthusiastic about your dreams.May be you are facing a difficulty in your life right now and it is difficult
for you to be excited about your life. But keep that hope alive. May be
your fire is just a flicker but keep that burning. But the good news is the
fire is still there and if you do your part to fan the flame it can burst
forth passion again. Quite looking at what is wrong with your life and
start being grateful for what is right in your life. Your perspective
should be I am not going to live a life of defeat and depressed. I know my
God is in control. My dreams will come true. He has the best in store forme. Romans 12:11 says, Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your
spiritual fervor, serving the Lord. Dont go on complaining and having
a negative attitude but thank God for what you have. When you thank
God it brings blessings upon your life. Soon enough you will see things
happening which you never dreamed of in your life. REMEMBER
EVERYDAY IS A GIFT OF GOD AND HIS MERCIES ARE NEW
EVERY MORNING.
CELEBRATE THE LORD OF LOVE
Our God is a good God and he dwells in the praises of his people. Most
often quoted psalm is Psalm 100:4: Enter his gates with thanksgiving
and his courts with praise. So each Sunday we meet together as a body
of Christ to worship the King of kings and lord of Lords. While praising
and worshipping God remember it is a celebration. We are celebrating
8/3/2019 Keep Pressing Forward
27/71
the goodness of God in our lives. We are thanking and blessing his name
for what he has done in our lives. You may come to the service with a
problem may be financial, sickness or broken heart. Whatever it is God
knows your heart. As you come into the presence of God there is fullness
of joy. So come boldly to his throne of grace to receive mercy, grace and
experience his unconditional love. Worship is more than a song we sing.
God wants you to sing a new song. This song is the way you praise him
and thank him. And sing in an unknown tongue. You will experience the
anointing like never before. Remember when you worship God it
actually brings healing and deliverance in your life. So its not just
Sunday you worship Jesus. But take a little time everyday to praise God
and see the difference.
His grace is sufficient for you. Sing to him a new song today.
DONT WORRY BE HAPPY
You might be wondering what I am telling. It is quite obvious you know
we worry about a lot of things. You worry about yourself, family,
college, job and when not even one thing is going on right with your life.
You say Oh God! What is wrong with my life? Why things are not right.
My friend in times like these it is easy to give up and say I give up. No
dont say that. You are Gods child. Youre called to win and not to lose.
Your hope is in Jesus. Romans 16:17 says the just shall live by faith.That means you need not live a life of defeat. God is with you and he will
direct your path. May be you are in a terrible situation and you are
broken down. God says my word will not turn void. He will be with you
and guide you. It may seem sometimes that our prayer is not answered
but it is during that time God is doing his work and has the best in store
for you. You know friend God says not to worry many times in the
Bible. Do not worry about anything, but in everything by prayer and
supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.
And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard
your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. This is Philippians 4:6. This
word should build us up. Jesus also said do not worry about tomorrow.
Look at the birds your heavenly father feeds them. Are you not valuable
than these? Yes my beloved you are precious to God. You are the apple
of his eye. He will never leave you nor forsake you. Ps 121:3-4 He will
8/3/2019 Keep Pressing Forward
28/71
not allow your foot to be moved He who keeps you will not slumber.
Behold, He who keeps Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep. What a
loving Jesus we serve. When God is with you 24 x7 why bother. Cast
your cares on Jesus because he cares for you. He is so gentle and kind
God. He is always by your side. So REJOICE IN HIM.
GOD WILL NOT LET YOU DOWN
It is quite obvious that we hear many accusations against us. People talk
bad of us. Or our closest friends leave us and go because of
misunderstanding or because you are doing the right thing. It also
happens within believers. Bring all that hurts to Jesus. He will never put
you down. Men of the world will let you down but Jesus will never dothat because he loves and cares for you. Jesus said: In this world you
will have tribulation but be of good cheer I have overcome the world.
May be you didnt get the promotion you need. But remember
promotion comes from God not men. Always confess I have the favor of
God. I am what God has created me to be. You are not a victim but a
victor in Christ. You have the seeds of the almighty God planted inside
you. So stand up. Shake off those hurts. It is just like dust. Do it in action
as you clean the dust and exercise God given authority. See How God ison your side. If God is for you who dare be against you? Move on. Press
on Leave the rest to Jesus because he is with you.
EXPERIENCING THE LOVE ANOINTING
All of us know that our God is a loving God. 1john 4:8 says God is love.
You might be wondering what is this love anointing. Lets look at the
term anointing. The anointing of God is the Holy Spirit. He flows as a
river of love, from the throne of grace, through the hearts of believers,
bringing life to all that receive His touch. Now there is a connection
between grace and anointing. As we all know grace is a free gift and so is
anointing. When you are soaked in the anointing what happens is all
your problems are broken. The anointing breaks the yoke. Love
anointing is you are baptized with the love of Jesus. Fully immersed in
8/3/2019 Keep Pressing Forward
29/71
the love of Christ. Perhaps you are going through a crisis and you feel
miserable. You are crying inside for a new touch from God. God is so
gracious to hear your voice. Jeremiah 33:3 says Call unto me and I will
answer you. When you say just Jesus come to me I am in pain and you
are in tears. He will wipe away every tear and hug you saying Child
dont worry I am with you and I am there to comfort you. You are my
child. You are the apple of my eye. He will embrace you in his loving
arms. You will forget everything that time. You will realize his love for
you is so much that you dont need anything else. 1 Peter 1:8 says
Though you have not seen him, you love him; and even though you do
not see him now, you believe in him and are filled with an inexpressible
and glorious joy. You have trusted on Jesus and you have faith in Him
so the love just overflows in your life. Keep growing in love of God.
When you have His love in your heart there is no fear. The love willbring life and enrich your lives.
KEEP SOAKING IN THE LOVE OF JESUS
SHAKING OFF THE DUST
Most of us get complacent in life because of the past experiences or we
have failed in many areas of our life. We tend to give up easily saying Ihave tried many times I am not getting anything right. My life is a waste.
We tend to say this and we get fed up. We get struck in a rut. No friend
God doesnt want you to be there. He wants you to move forward. Shake
off the past. May be there is a hurt in your life. A wrong word spoken
against you or you have been in ill health, financial crisis whatever it is
stand up and say boldly This too shall pass. I am a victor and not a
victim. I am healed by the stripes of Jesus. My God shall supply all my
needs. Apostle Paul says in 2Corinthians 5:17 says: Therefore, if
anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has
come! my friend now you are a new creation in Christ shake off the
past. Past is like dust. Just wipe it or blow it off your life. Dont live in
the past. Live in the Present. We have to be aware that God works
miracles in our todays and not yesterdays. God always speaks to us in
present. So focus on the present. Walk in victory. Shake off all the
8/3/2019 Keep Pressing Forward
30/71
negative words spoken to you see what Jesus says about you. He is not to
condemn you but to move forward. So focus on Jesus. Jesus will help
you all way around. Jesus is with you and will guide you. If something is
bothering you say I shake that negative thought or sickness I shake you
off you cant stay in my body. I am the temple of the Holy Spirit. Say
that boldly believing in you heart. You will live a life of victory in Christ.
God bless you
LET EVERYTHING THAT HAS BREATH PRAISE THE LORD
Arent you excited today is Sunday? A day to thank God. It is a
celebration of victory. It is so wonderful to be with all the saints of God
and worship the living God. He dwells in our praises. We feel lazy to go.
No friends arent you glad Jesus has given you life. He has blessed andhealed you. It is time to thank God. David says I was glad when they said
lets go into the house of the Lord. Even while praise and worship. Dont
just stand there looking at the words on the screen. Clap and dance
celebrate his goodness. You know when you dance and praise God you
put the devil to shame. You surrender to God. He will take charge over
you. You will experience the anointing that you never felt in your life.
Expect something new. As you sit in church even before worship begins
say God I want a fresh touch from you. I believe for a transformation inmy life. Surely God will answer. Even as you say Lord you are my
healer. There is power in the words you sing. You will see the hand of
God touching you and healing you. May be you are broken in spirit. He
will embrace you in his arms and he will give you the gift of joy. Ps
16:11 says you have made known to me the path of life; you will fill me
with joy in your presence, with eternal pleasures at your right hand. He
will bring healing deliverance. Friend you will experience the anointing
as never before. Anointing breaks the yoke. Get ready for a fresh touch
as you go to church. Even as I share with you I believe God is speaking
to your heart. He is the healer and deliverer. Comforter in time of
distress. I pray in Jesus name be healed, delivered set free from
bondages. In Jesus name. Amen

Well yesterday was Sunday had a wonderful time worshipping God.
While worship songs were being sung I felt the touch of Jesus. It was so
wonderful. I saw Jesus coming and hugging me saying I am with you
child and I will use you for my glory. I didnt know what to speak. I just
wept and said Lord I dont really deserve this and I am still growing in
you. I have got many people against me. The Lord said keep up the good
work and I will go with you. I am with you who can be against you. I just
enjoyed his presence. It was the love of the father I experienced. This is
what I call soaking in the love anointing. Jesus knows your heart and he
will heal you of your wounds comfort you and hug you. Child of God he
is for you. He cares for you. He is the healer and comforter. Jeremiah
33:3 says Call unto me and I will answer you. Jesus is the answer for
your problem. Even as I am telling you these things the presence of Godis flowing in your life. Just receive a fresh touch now. May be you feel
you dont deserve. My friend the truth is none of us deserve but He is
great in mercy and grace. It is because of His grace we have all blessings
in Christ.
Father in the name of Jesus I pray for all my friends who need a
fresh touch from you. Lord you know their problems and you answer us
in time of need. Lord I pray right now in the name of Jesus release theanointing. Let them feel your love and embrace of the father. I pray for
those who are in sickness be healed. By His stripes you are healed. I pray
for those with a broken heart lord wipe their tears and embrace them.
My friend Jesus loves you. He is wiping your tears everything will be
fine. He is with you. I pray for those with financial problems God supply
all their needs. Thank you for answering my prayer. In Jesus name

of the Christians we get satisfied where we are. We have this attitude I
have gone as far as my parents have gone or I at least have a good job
thats enough. No friend God wants you to grow more than that. Praise
God that you have achieved some goal. Dont settle there. Enlarge your
vision. May be you say is that possible I am fed up trying so much. No
Jesus is with you. You are a champion. Do you know child of God you
come from bloodline of champions. Your greatest achievement is yet to
be fulfilled. Our God is a loving God and wants to take you to places
where you never dreamed of. 1 Corinthians 2:9 says But as it is
written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into theheart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love
him. Wow that means God has the best plan for your life. Dreams and
visions yet to come true. God has a plan to prosper you. Take this from

CHANGE YOUR MINDSET
Most of us do compare ourselves with others. We seem to be jealous,angry, and envious or get really frustrated when someone else is ahead
of you. The problem is when you want to do something and it is done
better by another person. You go like this is not fair. Why she got
selected! I am more capable. My friends dont be jealous instead work
out with your God given capacity. I confess myself even I have felt
jealous. Nobody is perfect. Its ok we fail at times and God understands
our weakness. We need Gods grace for each day. The grace of God is
new each day. We need to cling on it. And when such thought come toyour mind. Talk to yourself a little. Say to yourself, What good will it
do to me being jealous of others? It wont get me blessed. God has a
unique plan for all of us and I will trust and wait upon him. Dont think
about others whom you are jealous instead deliberately pray that they
will be blessed.
My friend dont be afraid to be honest with God. He cares about your
feelings and he knows just the way you feel. So you tell him what you
feel. He is not going to beat you. But will lead you in the right path.
Do you remember Ephesians 3:20 God blesses us exceedingly
abundantly above all things. If you have a stronghold in this area of
being jealous of others just because they are ahead of you. I urge you to
get anew mindset. I know it will take patience. But you can do it is Jesus
who will strengthen you to overcome this area. So take the step of faith
and soon you will be victorious in this area.

FOCUS ON THE RIGHT THINGS
Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right,
whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable if
anything is excellent or praiseworthy think about such things.
Philippians 4:8
The Bible gives us a lot of instructions on what we are supposed to think.
We have to think on those things which build us up rather than tear us
down or to say make you fall into temptation like bad because thoughts,
fleshly desires. We have to be sensitive to the Holy Spirit. Our thoughts
affect our attitudes and moods. Everything the Lord tells us is for ourown good. He knows what will make us happy and what will make us
miserable. And if you feel miserable you will land up making others
miserable also. So the best thing is take a test everyday on what you have
been thinking about. Spend some time examining your thought life,
Thinking about what you are thinking about is very valuable because
Satan usually deceives people into thinking that the source of their
misery is something other than what really is. He wants them to think
that they are unhappy because of what is going on around them, but thefact is it is due to what is going on in their minds (their thoughts).
Most of us do blame others. It is because of my parents or my sis. Or my
lecturer, because of my nosy boss I am miserable. Even I thought like
that. But the face is it is because of my attitude. My thoughts were
making me miserable.
So think on what you are thinking about and you will be set free in Jesus
name. Amen
JESUS IS THE BEST FRIEND YOU CAN EVER HAVE
I was just singing the song Jesus you are my best friend and you will
always be and nothing will ever change that. Wow what a friend we
8/3/2019 Keep Pressing Forward
37/71
have. He will never leave us nor forsake us. In the world we will never
find such a bond of friendship like in Jesus. Just think of the price he
paid for you and me on the cross. Which friend would die on your behalf
for the sin you committed. Jesus gave his last drop to save you and me.
Today we have eternal life in him. He is always walking, talking, leading
and directing us. 24X 7 he is with us. His network is not busy. He is
always available when we say Jesus I need you he is there. What a God
we serve. I also remember Israel Houghtons song I am a friend of God,
He calls me friend. Truly my friend in Christ what a blessing it is that
Jesus is our loving friend. I am so proud to say Jesus is my best friend
arent you? All of us are. Even as today is Sunday let us worship and
praise his name because he deserves all glory, honour and praise. This
bonding of friendship with Jesus is for eternity. Let us exalt his name.
Let us soak in this bonding of friendship with Jesus experiencing his loveand grace in our lives.
WISH YOU ALL A HAPPY FRIENDSHIP DAY. GOD BLESS YOU
ALL. A BIG HUG TO ALL MY FRIENDS IN CHRIST. TRULY YOU
HAVE BEEN WONDERFUL FRIENDS. PLEASE CONTINUE TO
PRAY FOR ME THAT LORD WILL USE ME FOR HIS GLORY!
HEALING RAIN IN KARNATAKA
WOW! What a day I had yesterday. It was awesome as I had gone to
Bro.Michael Fernandes prayer meeting at Don Bosco hall Mangalore. I
was so blessed to be working with the team. The presence of God just
filled the place as the worship began. I was soaked in the anointing. God
spoke to me during worship and he said I will never leave you though
people put you down, my child I love you and I care for you. Tears
rolled down my cheeks and I was glad Jesus filled me with more of his
glory. The Bro. Michael spoke on restoration. Whatever is stolen from
you will be restored back double fold because of His grace in our lives. I
was happy when I heard this. God was speaking to me. After which was
8/3/2019 Keep Pressing Forward
38/71
healing and deliverance session. Many people were touched, delivered
and healed. He prophesied that Gods fresh anointing is outpoured in
my life and Gods unmerited favor is on me. There is a new direction
God will lead me in my ministry for his glory. Amen! I am so blessed
and I thank Jesus for answering my prayer.
EXPERIENCING FRESH ANOINTING EVERYDAY
What a joy to be called the children of God. Many of us would love to
experience the new fresh anointing each day. As his grace is new every
morning so is his anointing. Anointing is a gift from God. It breaks the
yoke. Even as you get up early in the morning just ask the Holy Spirit to
fill you with his presence. You can sing some anointed worship songs
and continue to sing in tongues. This will transform your life. Anointingis not just when you pray but as you go about your work you speak to
God. Friend you need to learn to listen to the still small voice of God. He
wants to minister you everyday. Friend it is not that if you pray you will
get more anointing just it takes faith. Jesus loves you and knows you.
Ask of him and he will fill you with his glory. You will forget all your
worries and sorrows. You know that is time when you experience his
love in a deeper way. He wipes every tear out and fills you more with his
love. He is not far from you but near to you. When you call he is there.Even as you retire to sleep just pray and praise him for sometime you
will also get a sound sleep. The anointing that you receive everyday is
new and you will grow stronger in the Lord and His favor will always
rest upon you.
This is my prayer to you:
Father in the name of Jesus I pray for all the believers who have read
your word. Lord fill them right now with a fresh anointing. Lord their
sorrows be gone. Their anxiety gone. Lord a fresh experience of the Holy
Spirit that they have never experienced. Lord show them your love.
Take them in your loving hands and bless them. I pray Lord even as
they meditate and worship you daily out pour your anointing. Thank
you Lord you have done it. In Jesus name Amen!

KEEP YOUR EYES ON JESUS ALL THE TIME
See most of us everyday go on struggling in many things and get
frustrated and irritated. We get complacent and finally say nothing is
working. My life is a waste. But we forget that there is a God who helps
us who is closer than a brother. He is the Prince of Peace and Wonderful
Counselor. Yes He is Jesus. Jesus is with you always. He is the author
and finisher of our faith. We should never doubt on Jesus power. Take
Peter who wanted to walk on water when he saw Jesus on the water. As
long as his eyes were on Jesus he was not afraid of the waves or how
deep the water was. But the movement he looked down he started
sinking. Never doubt on the strength of God. You know God is the
strength of your heart. When you know Jesus is with you. No weapon
formed against you shall prosper. Philippians 4:13 says I can do all
things through Christ who strengthens me. What is Paul saying here?Look closely He is saying With Christ as my strength I am an
overcomer. I can do all things. I know my friend how it is to write a
Maths paper. It does get on your nerve or an assignment or any project
in the office. Instead of saying it is difficult say Jesus you are my helper
and I know I can do it in your strength. See always look at Jesus my
friend. You know how loving he is and is with you 24x7. His network is
free always. The gift of grace will enable you to do all things in His
power.WHEN EVERYONE IS AGAINST YOU GOD IS WITH YOU
Most of us have gone through this kind of situation where you are not at
fault yet people shout at you and it hurts when your own family
members put you down. The same thing has happened to me. I was
crying and crying yesterday afternoon and said Jesus this is not fair
what have I done to be blamed. Then I realized when you do the work of
God your own family will be against you. I was praying and tears rolled
down my cheeks. When I saw Jesus next to me. He said child dont cry I
am with you and no good thing will I withhold from you. I love you as
you are. So smile for my peace I give to you. Wow! Those words really
comforted me. So my dear beloved it pains, it breaks your heart but the
love of Jesus never fails. That is why Paul says If God is for me, who
can be against me? Out of your greatest rejection comes your greatest
direction. What a loving God we serve. His grace is sufficient for us. And
8/3/2019 Keep Pressing Forward
40/71
you need not worry on what will happen to me and get scared in this
kind of situation. JOHN 1:14 says: For perfect love casteth away fear.
This perfect love is given by Jesus. It is so wonderful to know the love of
Jesus unconditional and wonderful. So remember Jesus is always with
you and he will take you through all the trails. He said I will never leave
you nor forsake you. Amen
HAVING MOUNTAIN MOVING FAITH
Faith is obedient action in response to what God has said. True faith is
expressed in obedience, action and hearing the voice of God. Heb 11:1:
Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do
not see. This is what the ancients were commended for. Having faith inGod involves an exchange of self trust for God- trust. We stop in
trusting in ourselves and trust him. Now we must always remember that
1. God doesnt change (Malachi 3:6) 2. He cannot fail (Job 42:2) He
cannot lie (Num23:19 and Titus 1:2). The principle of faith should
continually operate in our lives no matter what the circumstances we
see. Romans 1:17: ...it is written: "The righteous will live by faith."
Faith comes by hearing and hearing the word of God. Romans 10:17
declares. I know many of us are struggling and it seems that there is abig mountain in front of us and we dont know what is going to happen.
Jesus said: He replied, "Because you have so little faith. I tell you the
truth, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this
mountain, 'Move from here to there' and it will move. Nothing will be
impossible for you." Matthew 17:20. So my dear beloved in Christ
speak to your mountain. If it is a sickness say I am the temple of the
Holy Spirit I am the temple of the Holy Spirit sickness I command you
to leave. If it is financial problem say My God shall supply all my needs.
Poverty is not from God. I have everything in Christ. If it is depression
or you are stressed say Peace of Jesus rules my heart. The joy of the
Lord is my strength. Speak my friend speak to it. You are an overcomer
in Christ. Jesus said I have given you authority to trample over snakes
and scorpions and to overcome all the power of the enemy. Wow so
speak out and see the mighty hand of God. Gods hand is not shortened.

It is outstretched towards you. I conclude by saying PUT YOUR FAITH
IN ACTION AND RECEIVE YOUR BREAKTHROUGH.
THE POWER IN THE BLOOD OF JESUS
It is so wonderful to know that we are always under the covering of the
blood of Jesus. The blood of Jesus has cleansed us from all sins and we
can boldly enter into Gods presence. That is wonderful. But we do face
challenges in life and that is the time we got to know the strong edge of
the blood of Jesus is surrounding us. When satan accuses us the lord
confronts him in His ministry as High Priest through His own blood.
Even when we walk on the road, travel by bus or have any problem
claim the blood of Jesus over you. Always keep saying the blood of Jesusyou will see the deliverance and Gods protection over you. Dont worry
come what may The Blood of Jesus is the key to your deliverance. Claim
it for your healing. Life is in the blood my friend. Now you have received
the blood of life Jesus blood is in your body. So you are whole in Him.
Walk in victory.
PRAISE GOD INSPITE OF YOUR PROBLEMS
This title might seem strange but my friend Gods outstretched hand is
towards you. There is deliverance you need not fear.
There is power when you praise God. When God sees you worshipping
in spirit and in truth and casting all your cares upon him you will see
deliverance. We serve a great and mighty God. Worship God with all
your heart.
1. CLING ON TO JESUS YOU WILL RECEIVE NEW STRENGTH
PSALMS 18:1-3
I love you, O LORD, my strength.
2 The LORD is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer; my God is my
rock, in whom I take refuge. He is my shield and the horn of my
salvation, my stronghold.
3 I call to the LORD, who is worthy of praise, and I am saved from my
enemies.

5. GODS GREATNESS IS GREAT UNTO THE HEAVENS AND
HIS TRUTH UNTO THE CLOUDS
PSALMS 57:10
For Your mercy reaches unto the heavens, and Your truth unto the
clouds.
6. WHEN YOU WORSHIP GOD NO HARM CAN COME NEAR
YOU
PSALMS 119:165
Great peace have they who love your law (Gods WORD), and nothing
can make them stumble.
SING AND DANCE FOR GOD HAS GIVEN YOU THE VICTORY
God has blessed us with many blessings. It is so wonderful to know that
our God is greater. He dwells in the praises of his people. Dancing in the
presence of God brings glory to the lord. You know those who love the
Lord dont enjoy in the world but enjoy in Gods presence. You know
King David he rejoiced in the presence of God. He danced before the
Lord. When you dance you put satan to shame. Just rock in Gods
8/3/2019 Keep Pressing Forward
43/71
presence. Every Sunday is a celebration. For you are glorifying God.
And you know singing and dancing before the Lord makes you strong
and healthy too. Sickness cant stand. Why you dance in Gods presence
to show that you are redeemed from the curse of the law. You are no
longer under law but under grace. You are washed by the blood of the
lamb. The same power that raised Jesus from the dead is in you. When
you hear this you cant stay silent. You dance before the lord, give him
all glory and honor he alone deserves it. I pray this day will be a new
beginning. You will see mighty things happening in your life. I strongly
feel there is going to be mighty outpouring of the Holy Spirit as you sing
and dance in Gods presence. Just celebrate today.
CELEBRATING THE TRUE SPIRIT OF FREEDOMAll over India people are celebrating Independence Day. What joy to
know we are free from the British. We praise God for the freedom of
our nation. But we must be thankful to God for a freedom that God has
given us. We are set free from the law of sin and death. We are in the
spirit which gives us life. What a joy it is friend that we are made whole
in Jesus. Where the Spirit of the Lord is there is liberty. This liberty has
come inside you and me. I think this has more meaning. We have a
reason to celebrate that we are free from sin and also we are free fromslavery. But the real slavery is that once we were slaves to sin. Now we
are righteous in Christ. Christ has freed us from the curse of the law.
How much we need to be grateful to God. I think this completes the
meaning of freedom. We have received freedom in our hearts. Unless we
experience this freedom how can we experience the freedom we got for
our country? Praise God that we as children of God have experienced
this and are walking in light. But there are many who still have not
found this freedom in Christ. As we celebrate the 64th Independence day
of India let us join hands and pray for our nation. Let the people be set
free from sin and come to worship the Lord. India belongs to Jesus.
Lets break every curse of the enemy and claim India for Jesus.
Prayer for our nation
Father in the name of Jesus I come before your throne of grace. Lord as
we celebrate the freedom of our nation. Lord we thank you for you have
8/3/2019 Keep Pressing Forward
44/71
given us this freedom. More than outwardly freedom you have set us
free from the curse of the law. Jesus we thank you. Lord I pray for all
the people in India. Jesus open their eyes of understanding. Lord let
them also come to this salvation experience. Of being set free from sin.
Lord we bring India under the covering of the blood of Jesus. All the
works of the enemy be destroyed in Jesus name. Let the peace of God
rule our country. Lord we pray that there may be no corruption and no
violence in our country. People may live in peace and harmony. Lord the
people who rule our country the president. Prime Minister, the cabinet
ministers lord bless them. Lord give them wisdom and speak to them on
how to rule this country. Jesus let the people of India be saved and know
you. Jesus India belongs to you. Lord as people of God bless our nation.
Thank you Lord you are a prayer answering God and you are going to
do it. In Jesus name Amen!
EXPERIENCED A FRESH TOUCH FROM GOD
What a day to worship the Lord. Even as I went to church expecting a
fresh touch from the Lord. It just happened. I was soaked in the
anointing. As the worship songs were being sung I saw Jesus in front of
me. He blessed me with his loving hands and wiped away my tears. He
said this I have carved you on the palm of my hand. My favor is uponyou. You are called to win many more souls to the kingdom of god. I will
be with you always. I know the hurts you have gone through I have wept
with you. Move on. When these loving words I heard I just burst into
tears and said Jesus how loving you are. I have made many mistakes. I
am sorry. Jesus looked at me and said you are my child. I am always
with you. At this time I felt the love of the father I never felt before. This
is what I call the love anointing. I encourage you all to know how much
Jesus loves us and he will lead us.

THERE IS HOPE WHEN YOU SEEM TO GET LOW AND HURT
What a loving and compassionate God we serve. All of us face
difficulties at some point and the worst thing is when someone hurts you
who are close to you. You feel like no one understands you and you seem
so down and discouraged. It pains and it breaks your heart. You may
even feel what is the use of living no one respects me. I think I am a
waste. I am nothing. These thoughts come to your mind. It tears you
down. Cheer up beloved Jesus will never leave you. He will never leave
you nor forsake you. Dont listen to the thoughts of the devil. He is the
accuser and wants you to feel discouraged and miserable. At that time
you know who you ask for help. It is none but Jesus. Instead of telling
your problems to everyone speak it out to Jesus. He is the God of peace
and gives you peace. This peace you only find in Jesus. And you willrealize that he is what you need always. Dont nag yourself down but lift
your head high and move.
I know people who are in the ministry this happens most of the time.
Beloved dont allow the devil to steal your joy. Paul encourages us
Rejoice in the Lord always! Again I say rejoice. God is with you. Break
that power of the enemy in your life. Jesus said I have given you
authority to trample over snakes and scorpions and to overcome all the
power of the enemy. Dont feel down my beloved. Jesus knows how hardyou have worked for his kingdom. So calm down and let the peace of
God rule your heart. I know some of you may be in tears I encourage
you my brother/my sister Jesus has chosen you as his vessel. He will
never put the righteous to shame.
This is my word to all people of God. Gods favor is upon you. God
wants to show forth his love lavishly on you. Because you are his child
and precious to him. He has carved you on the palm of his hand. Jesus
has wiped all your tears. Stay joyful. REMEMBER THE JOY OF THE
LORD IS YOUR STRENGTH!

THE FAVOR OF GOD
My dear beloved in Christ today I want you to tell about the favor of
God. Gods favor is an enabling favor which boosts us all the time.
Favor is GRACE OF GOD. The Grace of God is defined as unmerited,
unearned and undeserved favor of God. All of us have experienced his
favor. But sometimes or for a period of time it feels as if nothing is
working out. And you go like what is happening in my life. Nothing is
working. I tried to be good and loving my friends dont understand me.
BOOHOOO. You go on crying. My friends always remember the
favor of God is with you. Grace is favor of God. Every time you feel low
sing this song Jehovah Jireh my provider His grace is sufficient for
me. Hmm there is power in what you s
