Dearly Beloved, Greetings in the mighty name of the resurrected Jesus Christ! We had a very powerful fasting prayer for three days in Theni last month. Nearly one thousand and five hundred people attended the meeting. God manifested His glory through His Word revelation and power. People were challenged to live for God and His kingdom as priority. Mighty healings and deliverances took place. We give all the glory to the Lord and thank you for your prayers. Beloved, even if the whole world rejects you, your Father God is embracing you with a loving smile. Don't be irritated or frustrated when people ignore or ill-treat you. Be secure in Christ. Thank God for what you are to Him (Eph.1:6). You are highly respected by God Almighty, and you are most precious to your Savior. What else do you need in this world? Rejoice and reign in Him!

3 Make your promise a reality Part 2 Dr. Ezekiah Francis God has given marvelous and enormous promises for us to possess and enjoy. Making God-given blessings a reality is completely in our own hands. We have seen in the previous article some of the keys to make the promises real in our lives. A. To inherit His promises and Calvary blessings. We must have thorough knowledge of what belongs to us. This needs our disciplined study of God's Word till the Word burns in our whole being. B. Faith is the heavenly currency needed to get anything from God. This demands constant feeding on the Word and detoxifying our minds from all negativism. C. Instead of waiting and wasting our time for God to fulfill His promises in our life, let us do our part to materialize His blessings in our life. Now in this article we will continue to explore some more keys to make God s promises a reality. 4. Know you are stronger than all your enemies Every time you endeavor to see and experience God s blessings and promises, you stir up the demonic powers. Satan trembles when a child of God begins to walk in God s blessings. He will use all his schemes to discourage you and intimidate you. Such fear was the major reason why the Israelites were deprived of their Canaan life. When the twelve spies went to spy out the land, the majority of them allowed fear to grip them. Instead of focusing on the blessings of Canaan, they saw all the obstacles and the enemies that blocked their blessings. Someone said: fear is False Evidence that Appears Real. Let us see how satan deceived them to focus on the enemies instead of focusing on God who stood with them as commander in chief. The bad reports they brought depicts the way they looked at Canaan. You are stronger and greater Nevertheless the people who dwell in the land are strong for they are stronger than we all the people whom we saw in it are men of great stature (Nu.13:28,31-32) This is the look of natural people. As a new creation, you can see the same enemies through spiritual eyes. No enemies are stronger or greater than you. Christ Himself lives in you and constantly energizes you with His strength and power. If the enemy who blocks your blessings is strong, then how much stronger is your God who gave you the promise. The strong man fully armed may guard your blessings in his palace, but you are stronger than him. With God s overcoming power you can easily plunder your blessings (Lk.11:21Berachah Prophetic Voice - February

4 22). The Almighty God has now become your very strength and might through His Spirit. Focus on your strength and ability in Christ. Speak about it. Brag about it. Teach and treasure it. Always remember: nothing is stronger and greater than you! Nothing can stop you from enjoying your blessings in Christ. They saw the giants, the sons of Anak, the men of great stature. Yes, the giants were more than thirty feet tall and fierce in appearance. But see how great is your God! The heavens are His throne, the earth is His footstool. Like a gentle Father, He carries you on His shoulder. How tall and great you are! He who is in you is truly greater than he who is in the world (1.Jn.4:4). we are not able to go out against the people. (Nu.13:31) When Caleb said, we are well able to overcome, the others said, we are not able. How sad! The man who said, we are well able, really made it. Never allow the enemy to paint a picture about yourself. See yourself in the mirror of God s Word. Christ Himself has become your ability now. You can do all things through Him (Phil.4:13). You received power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you. Power also means God s very ability. You are well able to live a Godpleasing life! You are well able to appropriate your healing and divine health! You are well able to draw from the riches of God s Word! You are well able to overcome all tribulations, distress, persecution, perils and sword! You are well able to be God s supernatural witness in your Jerusalem, Samaria, and Judea and to the uttermost part of the earth (Ac.1:8). In all your adversities, you are more than a conqueror through Christ who loves you (Rom.8:33-37)! All the onslaughts of the enemy shall never be able to separate you from Christ and His riches (Ro.8:38-39). THE SPIRIT OF GOD TRANSFORMS You are fortified.the cities are fortified and very large (Nu.13:28) It is very obvious that the devil will strongly defend his fortress against you. The blessings of Canaan are securely shut up from you to enjoy (Jos.6:1). This is the time to change your focus from your Jericho to your Jehovah. The truth is that your God is your rock and fortress, by Him you can easily jump over any great and strong walls and fortresses. The Holy Spirit in you can easily carry you through all your obstacles. When you rise up against all obstacles that block your blessings, riches, health, purity and peace, the gates of hades shall not prevail against you. The good news is that you are on the offensive and your enemies are on the defensive. God s redemptive blessings are mightier than all obstacles. Rise up and possess. You are well able But the men who had gone up with Caleb said 6 Berachah Prophetic Voice - February 2017 You can devour your devourers The land through which we have gone as spies is a land that devours its inhabitants (Nu.13:32) The doubtful spies allowed themselves to imagine how the enemies can eat the inhabitants. This is the picture the devil is trying to paint in our minds if we allow him. He sends his diseases to devour your body. He tries to eat the fruit of your labor. He will show how many mighty men he had swallowed in the past. Seeing all those who failed before you will sap your faith and energy. When you begin to see all those devourers through God s Word, you will become God s devourers. No temptation can overpower you. No disease has a

5 right to take you to an early grave. Take the promises of God and wield them against the enemies as the sword of the Spirit. Fill your imaginations with victory pictures. Caleb saw the same enemies as his prey and bread (Nu.14:9). Death, your final enemy, was eaten up by your Savior. The sting of death is broken, and hell has lost its victory on the cross. Why should you focus on such fearful imaginations? Why not you see yourself as winning and destroying all the powers of sin and sickness and all the powers of darkness? Remember how a young lion came roaring against Samson to eat him. The anointed Samson tore the lion apart with his bare hands. From that very dead body of the lion, he took honey and ate it. Out of the eater came something for him to eat. This is the prophetic word for you. Every test shall become your testimony. All your trials shall become your triumphant procession. God who gave you His promises is standing behind every one of His Words and is watching over them to perform them. The Lord who bought all your blessings on Calvary is defending your case as your divine Advocate from His heavenly throne room. Keep this picture constantly in your mind and ponder it. Proclaim who you are in Christ till you see the fulfillment of His Word. Beloved, don t look at the descendants of the giants. You are the descendant of God. You carry the seed of the Lord of hosts. Please don t see yourself as grasshoppers or mere insects. All low images about yourself will block you from possessing what belongs to you. All kinds of insecurity and fearful pictures come from the pit of hell. The devil knows how you see yourself and takes advantage of it accordingly. If you see yourself week, sick and defeated, he will treat you likewise. I plead with you to see yourself through God's promises. See yourself as a victor. You are truly far greater and higher than all your struggles and sufferings. God is your strength, your fortress, your ability and your victor. Rise up and possess everything God bought for you on Calvary. Let us go up at once and take possession in Jesus Name! BOOKS ATTENTION DONORS!

6 Rooted in God s House Rev. Benita Francis As we have seen in former messages, having strong roots in the right soil is our best life insurance. I pray you have really rooted and grounded your life and make your roots grow deeper and stronger every day! Now, why should you also be rooted and grounded in God s House, and what is God s House to begin with? According to God s Word, if you have received Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, you yourself have become a temple of God s Holy Spirit, a walking house of God (Jn.1:12; 14:23; 1.Cor.3:16). His Presence dwells in your mortal body through His Spirit. We have this treasure in earthen vessels, so that the excellence of the power may be of God and not of us (2.Cor.4:7). So you carry God s Presence wherever you go for the healing, salvation and deliverance of nations. Because of that, many modern Christians say we don t need to assemble in a building anymore. They stay at home, watch Christian TV and read their Bibles alone or in small home groups. Is that really a biblical practice, however? Let us study. Protection from early death Secular scientists studied the general health and lifespan of people who attend church (that means, gather in a building to worship Jesus and hear His Word) and of people who don t. They even differentiated between different groups according to how often they gather in church. Did you know that hundreds of studies have shown that people who attend church regularly 8 Berachah Prophetic Voice - February 2017 have a higher life expectancy than others? It s not just a small difference - attending church regularly can prolong your life up to eight years! The mortality rate goes down 13% for people who attend church less than once a week and 33% for people who attend church more than once a week ( /2016/05/16/health/ religion-lifespan-health)! Wow! Can you now understand why your loving Heavenly Father wants you to be rooted and grounded not only in His Word, in His Son and in His Love, but also in His House? Protection from cold love and futility It is very interesting to me that the writer of Hebrews admonishes us especially for these endtimes we are living in: 24 And let us consider one another in order to stir up love and good works, 25 not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some, but exhorting one another, and so much the more as you see the Day approaching (Heb.10:23-24) In these times, love and good works will be more needed than ever before, because great trials and tribulations will come over our planet before Jesus returns. Even the love of many will grow cold as they see lawlessness abound more and more (Mt.24:12). Exhorting, encouraging, challenging and comforting one another will therefore become ever more necessary as time passes. And where do you find like-minded, like-

7 spirited people? Of course - in the church, the House of God! Protection from evil people I know you don't like THIS promise - the promise that all who desire to live godly in Christ Jesus will suffer persecution - right? Well, but did you know that persecution actually increases your anointing and your glory? See 1.Pe.4:14: Why else would there be a special need for assembling so much more before the Second Coming of the Lord? Well, the Bible clearly says in 2nd Timothy chapter 3: 14 If you are reproached for the name of Christ, blessed are you, for the Spirit of glory and of God rests upon you. On their part He is blasphemed, but on your part He is glorified. 1 But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: So as evil men and imposters grow worse and worse, you grow more and more glorious and anointed. Hallelujah! But how do you happily endure persecution? How do you stand strong for Jesus? See here: 2 For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, 3 unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, 4 traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, 5 having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away! Also don't forget the strong admonition the st Apostle Paul gives us in 1 Corinthians 15:33: Do not be deceived: Evil company corrupts good habits. So if you have to turn away from so many people, don t you think you will need more than ever before the friendship, company and support of your fellow believers in the House of God!? 14 But you must continue in the things which you have learned and been assured of, knowing from whom you have learned them, 15 and that from childhood you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus (2.Tim.3:14-15) So please don't forget God s weapon of victory in the face of persecution which is promised to each and every true Christian! In midst of increasing deception, knowing the Holy Scriptures which make you wise for salvation through faith is KEY! Protection from lack of knowledge Hosea 4:6 tells you another tremendous truth: Protection from persecutionparanoia If you keep reading till the end of 2nd Timothy chapter 3, you will see the tremendous importance of the Word of God for your life: 12 Yes, and all who desire to live godly in Christ Jesus will suffer persecution. 13 But evil men and impostors will grow worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived (2.Tim.3:12-13) 6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. Because you have rejected knowledge, I also will reject you from being priest for Me; Because you have forgotten the law of your God, I also will forget your children (Hosea 4:6) Where else can you hear God's Word explained, of course apart from your own personal prayer and Bible study time? Where else can you ask your questions about God s Word? Where else can you learn to see current world events in the light of the Bible? Where else can you practice the Berachah Prophetic Voice - February

8 principles and lifestyle of God s Word? Where else can you venture out and learn to minister in the gifts of the Spirit? Where else can you be trained into what God has planned for your life? The answer is: Nowhere else but in the safe haven of the House of God, the church! And there is still more Protection from losing your calling and ministry As you gather together in the House of God, I do hope your conversation centers around God s Word and not around modern fashion, sports, economics, TV shows or politics. Your hunger for God s Word and truth determines the level of victory and liberty you will live in. Don t blame other people. Don t blame God. Don t even blame the devil. Better gather with other believers in the House of God and learn how to be a true disciple of Jesus! How do you do that? See here: 31 Then Jesus said to those Jews who believed Him, If you abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed. 32 And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free (Jn.8:31-32) Not only this, in the House of God you will also learn how to DO the works of Him Who sent you into this world. How will that happen? Well, you will labor not for the food which perishes, but for the food which endures to everlasting life (Jn.6:27-29). What does that mean? In the House of God, you will learn to rightly divide the Word of God, and you will never have to be ashamed. You will be God s approved worker for His glory, and you will do greater works than our Lord Jesus Himself did (Jn.14:12; 2.Ti.3:15)! Doing greater works than Jesus is actually God s plan and purpose for every born-again believer in Christ. Alas, how many never fulfill their calling because they don t put all their heart and mind into knowing God through His Word. 6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. Because you have rejected knowledge, I also will reject you from being priest for Me; Because you have forgotten the law of your God, I also will forget your children (Hosea 4:6) Praise God, since my salvation, God s House became my house. Each time the church doors opened, I was there. This spiritual hunger brought me into the wonderful ministry Jesus blessed me with. Hallelujah!!! And there is STILL more School of Apostles and Prophets 20th to 24th, Feb, 2017 PLAN YOUR School of the Holy Spirit for Ladies 1st to 31st March, 2017 CALENDARS School of the Holy 26th April to 5th June plan! pray! prepare! participate!! 10 Berachah Prophetic Voice - February 2017

9 Protection for your generations If you love God s Word and endeavor to keep it, God will remember and bless your children! If you regularly receive God s Word in His House, God Himself will remember your children! And if God remembers, God blesses! 6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. Because you have rejected knowledge, I also will reject you from being priest for Me; Because you have forgotten the law of your God, I also will forget your children (Hosea 4:6) Please make sure this never happens to you and your children! Consider how important it is for young, malleable minds to get a strong foundation and to stand on the Rock of all ages! How important it is for your children to find like-minded friends with a Christian faith in this difficult time and age! At school and wherever they go, they are bombarded with sin and rebellion. They desperately need to know that they are not alone in their Christian faith. They desperately need good, safe friends of their own age! They desperately need prayer partners who understand their struggles! They desperately need friends where they can feel safe and be themselves. They desperately need a group to which they can invite their unbelieving classmates. Can you see how much your children need to be rooted and grounded in the House of God?!? Protection from physical harm Not only for protection and knowledge, friendship and support, teaching and reaching out, but also for your very own health and survival it will become increasingly important to be rooted and grounded in God s House, a vibrant, Biblebelieving Body of born-again believers! 25 And there will be signs in the sun, in the moon, and in the stars; and on the earth distress of nations, with perplexity, the sea and the waves roaring; 26 men s hearts failing them from fear and the expectation of those things which are coming on the earth, for the powers of heaven will be shaken. 27 Then they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. 28 Now when these things begin to happen, look up and lift up your heads, because your redemption draws near (Lk.21:25-28) Before the Second Coming of our Lord Jesus, men's hearts will fail them from fear. Already now, we see a great increase in the signs Jesus gave us of His coming, like wars and rumors of wars, famines, pestilences, earthquakes, increasing lawlessness and cold love (Mt.24:4-14). For your own mental and emotional health, you will need the company of those who love God, His Word and His House. Protection from deception Deception is going to become more subtle and more prevalent. The devil and his people will try to deceive, if possible, even the elect. The devil has great wrath because he knows that his time is short (Rev.12:12). For false christs and false prophets will rise and show great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect (Mt.24:24) But evil men and impostors will grow worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived (2.Ti.3:13) This world will become darker and darker, but if you remain in Him, your light will shine brighter and brighter (Isa.60:1-2; Phil.2:15). Your only security is to be rooted and grounded in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth (1.Tim.3:15). Protection from stagnation As you are planted in God s House, you will Berachah Prophetic Voice - February

10 not only grow, you will flourish! Whatever you do will have success, because you are planted near the rivers of water, and you are washed in the water of the Word of God (Ps.1:3; Eph.5:26). 12 The righteous shall flourish like a palm tree, he shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon. 13 Those who are planted in the house of the LORD shall flourish in the courts of our God (Ps.92:12-13) Now, who is the one who is set by God to feed you God's Word, to shepherd you, to bind your wounds and to lead you to green pastures? It is your pastor, your God-ordained, caring shepherd, the pastor into whose hands your God entrusted your soul (Heb.13:17). And where do you find such a pastor? At home, in front of your TV or computer screen? No, my dear you find him in the church, the House of the Living God! uselessness and frustration often sets in. People become increasingly insecure and irritable. They try to hold on to their position in life by subduing others. Praise God, if you are rooted and grounded in the House of God, you will not only grow and flourish, you will still even bear fruit in your old age! See for yourself: 14 They shall still bear fruit in old age; they shall be fresh and flourishing (Ps.92:14) Isn't this a very pressing reason for loving the House of God, especially in this time where so many senior citizens lose their mental capacities and slip into eternal oblivion? Doesn t this word want you to secure your place in God s House and make sure your ageing family members also attend church with you? Protection from exhaustion and burnout Protection from barrenness and frustration As people grow older, a feeling of futility, Tune in to hear the prophetic voice! Fatigue and burn-out are household words in today's society, even among very young people. Fatalities from heart attacks occur at ever younger ages. People drop dead from cardiac arrest in their thirties, even in their twenties. At forty years of age, many feel completely exhausted and lose all desire to live. Medical science is searching for answers, inventing and promoting products that promise to be the fountain of eternal youth. Sadly, all too often, they show dangerous side effects after some time. Is there any hope, any remedy? Oh yes: 14 They shall still bear fruit in old age; they shall be fresh and flourishing, What a blessing to know that if you are rooted and grounded in God s House, even in your old age you will be a vigorous, living miracle, a testimony to the faithfulness of your God! Protection from instability and unrighteousness There is yet another blessing you reap from being rooted and grounded in God s House: 12 Berachah Prophetic Voice - February 2017

11 without being a preacher, just by simply living your life, you are the very best advertisement and proof of the love and faithfulness of your God! You remain fresh and flourishing, but why and for what? 15 To declare that the LORD is upright; He is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in Him (Ps.92:12-15) You show to the world that your life has a solid foundation! You are not easily shaken, not swayed with every wind of doctrine, not afraid of the terror by night or of any other harm (2.Thes.2:1-2; Eph.4:14; Ps.91). God doesn't need to lament about you with a broken heart, as He had to lament about Israel: Oh, that you had heeded My commandments! Then your peace would have been like a river, And your righteousness like the waves of the sea (Isa.48:18) You have decided to come to God s House to hear and hopefully also to heed, that means to obey, God s Word, God s commandments! Therefore, your peace is like a river, and the glory of the Gentiles is coming to you like a flowing stream (Isa.66:12). Wow! What a blessing!!! But let me give you a warning here. It takes time to grow good roots! Living your life out there in the world, not giving time and importance to God s House although you are a born-again believer, and then wanting to find refuge when all else collapses, won t really work. Relationships, even inside the church, need time to grow if you want to really have a strong social network to rely on in your time of need. Don t wait till it is too late! Enjoy God s House NOW! PLEADING BLOOD IN CHRIST What have you done? The voice of your brother s blood cries out to Me from the ground. So now you are cursed from the earth, which has opened its mouth to receive your brother s blood from your hand. When you till the ground, it shall no longer yield its strength to you. A fugitive and a vagabond you shall be on the earth. to Jesus the Mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling that The Blood of Jesus is your advocate in the heavenly court, constantly pleading for you. This is one of your greatest blessings in Christ. Blood has a voice. We can compare the blood of Abel with the Blood of Jesus, our Mediator (Heb.8:6; 9:15). Abel s blood was crying out to God for revenge and brought a severe curse on Cain. Even the earth that received Abel s blood was so cursed it stopped yielding (Ge.4:12). Pleading Blood: On the contrary, Christ s Blood is pleading for your forgiveness and blessing, not for revenge (Heb.12:24). Abel s blood brought the curse on the ground, the Blood of Jesus blesses the earth and increases the fruitfulness (Dt.28:4). Abel s blood cried for revenge, so God cursed and punished Cain more than what he was able to bear. Berachah Prophetic Voice - February

12 Jesus Blood is crying out for you, so He blesses you more than what you deserve. You are not judged according to your iniquities (Ps.103:10). God didn t observe iniquity in the Israelites though they only trusted the blood of animals (Nu.23:21). How much more the Blood of Jesus makes you so righteous that God can t see any sin in you. This revelation cleanses your conscience and helps you to serve Him without fear (Heb.9:13-14)! Establishing Blood: Abel s blood made Cain a fugitive and a vagabond so that anyone could kill him anytime (Ge.4:12). Jesus Blood makes you well-established and secure. Being a fugitive and a vagabond like Cain is definitely a curse. In Christ and by His Blood, you are liberated from that curse. If you are unable to remain steady in one place or job, you should treat this as a curse and break it. Restlessness also is a curse and should be rebuked. Being vulnerable to the attacks of wicked people is also a curse, but in Christ, you have God s rest and peace. Anyone who finds you cannot harm you (Ge.4:14; Lk.10:19). Cain was cursed to be a restless wanderer and vulnerable to anyone who wanted to kill him. In His grace, however, God put a mark on Cain so that nobody who found him would kill him. Protecting Blood: In Christ, you are eternally marked, and no weapon that is formed against you shall prosper (Isa.54:17). The Holy Spirit is upon you as a mark of God s ownership (Eph.1:13). You are the apple of His eye, dwelling in the shelter of the Most High (Zac.2:8; Ps.91:1-2). How can you be a vagabond in Christ? Cain left God s Presence and lived in the land of Nod which means exile, wandering, unrest, but in Christ, you are no longer a wanderer and exile, but a citizen of heaven and member of God s household (Eph.2:1213,19). Curse-breaking Blood: In Christ, you are under the New Covenant, the better Covenant. Jesus is now your Mediator. His precious Blood is constantly speaking better blessings upon your life. You are reconciled to your God, forgiven, blessed and safe by the wonderful Blood of Jesus. All the curses ever pronounced on you are nullified by the voice of this precious Blood. His Blood has totally redeemed you from the curse of the law. Claim this blessing! Beloved, your High Priest has entered the Most Holy Place with His Blood to intercede for you. Plead this Blood today! Break every curse upon your life. Trust this Blood for your sanctification and walk in God s riches and righteousness (Heb.10:29). Thank You, Lord, You have entered the Most Holy Place once for all by Your own Blood, having obtained eternal redemption for me. Your Blood cleanses my consciousness from acts that lead to death so that I may serve You, the Living God. Your Blood speaks better things for me than that of Abel because I am in Christ.
