The Holy Spirit is not a language, and He is not a manifestation, nor is He a gift. He is a person. God is sitting on His throne, and Jesus His Son is on the right side of the throne of God. But the Holy Spirit is the person who has been given to us on the Earth. 
My question is DO YOU KNOW HIM? 
Many people stop at just specking in tongues believing that's it, but He {Holy Spirit} is a person and He wants you to get to know Him. Stop grieving Him and start co-operating with Him.

Within each of us is our future, and that future according to Jeremiah 29:11 includes prosperity, protection, and hope. We need to be passionate about discovering why we are here on earth,  what our calling is , what gift/s we have and our personal God given assignment.  When we do discover all this we become authentic, which means we express our true self, reflecting our dreams, ideas, & creativity.  We start using our gifts to manifest the treasure that God has hidden in our inner being.  And we stay true to God's original plan for our lives.  We must know ourselves and operate in our true authentic make-up.  
When you discover what you were created to be, God expects you to use that discovery to maximize yourself!

God doesn't give you details He gives you a Word! It only takes one faith step at a time. Each step takes total trust, not in what you know but in who you know. So the more you get to know your Savior the more He will become your Lord.  You will experience season's of dryness in your walk but that doesn't mean you are in the wrong place.  Remember God lead Israel to the Desert and He was with them!  Choose to trust God today and let Him lead you.  Don't allow an attitude of complaint & grumbling to undermind the Word God has given YOU!

Your anointing is elevated on your life through the pain you go through and it is unique and original. No one can possess what you have. You may ask why? 
Because only you and God have walked in your shoes. Everything in your life has brought you to this very moment, all the pain, trails, and celebrations. So if someone wants what you have they need to walk the journey you have come from, overcome the challenges you have won, and endure the storms you have defeated. Not everything is sent by God but everything is used by God so don't waste your trails use them to bring Glory to our Father. 
Be Blessed.

A prophetic message of a new season & of great harvest is burning in my heart.
This is the time for us to stop playing church & be the Church!  People are hungry for an authentic move of God.  Where routine, agenda's & religion are thrown away.  This is the time for the corporate Body of Christ to release its anointing & move in unity so that fresh rain can pour from heaven.  God will send rain on your land in its season, if we faithfully love Him & serve Him with all our heart & with all our soul.  His eyes are continually on you from the beginning of the year to its end & you will experience a season of refreshing.  My desire is for the Body of Christ to stand in its true Glory & take Her rightful position in the community, nation & nations.  We need to come into full agreement with Christ & one another putting aside our personal preferences to fulfil Gods original plan for His Church.  If only His Church could see the power that lies dormant within its self & starts realising Her anointing over the land, then the world will see & know that Our God Lives!
We read about great individuals like Abraham, Isacc, Joseph, Moses & many more who were anointed by God to fulfil a specific assignment but something more powerful happened when "The People" {His Church} released their anointing & moved in unity.  It wasn't Moses who walked throught the Red Sea but "The People".  It wasn't Joshua who crossed the Jordan River it was "The People".  It wasn't Joshua who marched around the wall of Jericho it was "The People".  Even though these mighty men lead the people to do these mighty acts & were part of these mighty acts, it took a nation to move into victory, it took a united people to move from Glory to Glory.

It is time that we stop playing Church & be the Church. We are living in the times where individual anionting is not enought.  We thank God for a personal touch of God and we all need to be operating in our individual anionting but something happens in the supernatural when His Church start's moving and operating in our Corporate Anointing. 
Hebrews 11:17 By faith Abraham... Hebrews 11:20 By faith Isaac... Hebrews 11:22 By faith Joseph...Hebrews 11:23 By faith Moses...
Hebrews 11:24 By faith Moses... Hebrews 11:27 By faith Moses... 
Hebrews 11:28 By faith Moses...

All these men had great individual anionting but look at this...

Hebrews 11:29 By faith the PEOPLE...

When His Church starts operating in Corporate Anointing, we enter into Higher Levels...

God Is Good!  That explains it all.  Welcome 2012!

My New Year resolution is to live in the present moment.  Not obsessed about the pass or worried about the future.  To be thankful for all the blessings in life.  To get more enjoyment out of life, and invest more time in my relationships with others.  I want to learn something new and help others to do the same.  I want to be a light or beckon for our community in which others will look up too.  

2011 was a great year, but for 2012, I want to continue moving forward. Spreading the love of God to all man kind and sharing the good news of Salvation.  God Bless
