To Lit The Unlit Things; This Is The Great Commission.

Just because A THING is invisible it does not make not real.

All the THINGS that make up God’s Kingdom are all around us. It is light that makes them visible. God’s light is glory. The Christian must renew his mind until by faith he can bring to light the unlighted things of the kingdom. This is faith. This is the great task and call of the Christian and what separates him or her from every other people type in the universe. No other people type can do what the Christian can do. God’s kingdom and the things of His kingdom are already within our country, within our lives, the healing we need, the righteous government that we need, the finances that we need. All is here. We can light it by faith and display it as real with its evidence and proof by faith. A thing brought to light, becomes a reality and a new type of existence. Its all about light. This is why faith is the substance of the invisible things of the kingdom. Because it is their substance, faith is also its light, proof and evidence. 

Heb 11:1 ¶ Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

Sometimes as believers we waste much time praying for a breakthrough. Most of the time the breakthrough is already here. It is found in the natural existence of the the unlighted things of God’s kingdom, that when lit naturally operate in the flow of liberty, victory and breakthrough. Its all about the renewed mind. Its all about the light that you bring by faith. God cannot bring to light the hidden things of His kingdom without the cooperation of the Christian. How many things of God’s kingdom do you want to bring to light with evidential proof? This is the meaning of being a witness. The kingdom of God is easy. Its not so much about breakthrough as it is about revelation. Its not so much about victory. The victory is already here. Its about manifestation. It happens easily and seamlessly by us in proportion to the renewed mind which operates transcendentally, without limitation, and without boundaries, and is in tune from moment to moment to the flow of the grace of God which is His superhuman labor. The renewed mind has nothing to hinder it. It is hooked up to the Will of God, who operates His will seamlessly and effortlessly by His grace or superhuman labor in continual victories, continual dominance, continual breakthrough and continual manifestation of His invisible things. This is the law of God. The renewed mind is a slave to the law of God. 

Rom 7:25 I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin.

Our Hands and the Affairs of God

1 Kings 17:16 the pitcher of meal was not consumed, and the dish of oil did not lack, according to the word (Deber) of Jehovah that He spake ( Piel/ Perfect) by the hand of Elijah.

The piel perfect is one of the strongest of Hebrew verb tenses. The piel talks about emphatic, intense, repetitive and decisive action of the verb. The perfect is an action completed. Deber is simply not the word, Word. It describes a matter, a counsel or an affair of God. In the ministry of our hands by the voice of the Spirit we execute fully and decisively the affairs of God all in one split moment. It is all a matter of seeing the affair by faith and releasing it through our hands . The key is to do it with, faith, immediacy and implicit obedience This is the mustard seed of miracles.

What Is Glory?

Kabad, Kabed, and Kabod are all of the household of words which signify glory in the OT. 

Some of the definitions for these words are heavy, great,massive, abundant, numerous, and rich, and in bad sense, oppressive and burdensome. Here we see the infinite wisdom of God in choosing the vehicle of glory to display His invisible kingdom.

Any kingdom operates in a vicinity or an area where the authority of the one in charge of it is exercised. Whether invisible or visible, a kingdom is established in a “place” or “places”, which defines that kingdom. That place, is made up of things or objects which constitute the “place”. Consequently many places obedient to the one ruling it, becomes a kingdom.

The invisible kingdom of God exists in many “places” in the realm of the dimension of the invisible heavens. Paul calls them heavenly “places”. As any earthly place is full of visible things that we continually access through our physical senses, a heavenly place has tons of things which we access by faith. We must know that we boldly and confidently have unlimited rights to access and handle heavenly things in a heavenly place at all times. Our access to handle and possess these things occurs by faith just as we boldly and confidently access the things in a visible realm through our 5 senses. This is the right and the inheritance of the believer in Jesus Christ. No other religion or faith or doctrine or world view or opinions can give an individual this unlimited access to the kingdom, the places, and the things which represent the realms of the heavens. 

Eph 3:12 In whom we have boldness and access with confidence by the faith of him.

Our minds must be renewed to a point where entering into a specific heavenly place is more simple and natural than accessing a visible place. Once that you gain entrance into a heavenly place, with the eyes of faith, you see the many invisible things interacting and flowing in that place. The things in a heavenly place interact beautifully, majestically, seamlessly and gloriously in the spirit. We can see part of this in Ezekiel chapter one and the throne chariot of God. It moves forward at all times over supernatural wheels. In a heavenly place, the things of God glide and move seamlessly on wheels and without limitations and with absolute authority over the corrupt things that we see. You can make them to ever increase and abound by the instrument of faith. Its like being submerged in the most amazing of aquariums.

I have been seeing them more and more. The great secret of signs and wonders is that upon handling and invisible thing you must grab on to it and execute it without hesitancy or the fear of man, what the Lord tells you to do with it. At that moment the miracle, or deliverance or the healing takes place.

Your life becomes amazingly exciting and laden with “joy unspeakable and full of glory” and when you can access heavenly places and handle heavenly things on a continual basis. Remember, in the natural we handle the things visible and their substance by our 5 senses. In the invisible, we handle its things and their substance by faith.

Hebrews 11;1  Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
3 Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen ( the invisible things) were not made of things which do appear.

Glory is what brings into the reality of our 5 senses the things invisible. Remember its definitions; heavy, great,massive, abundant, numerous, rich. By faith and glory, God gives weight, tangibility and abundance to the things that our fives senses cannot access. Glory brings His invisible things and makes them accessible to our 5 senses. You think about that today.

The East Africa Signs & Wonders & Worship Conferences

Our trip to Kenya and Uganda is quickly coming upon us. We leave on February 24th, and will come back on March 19th.

The Lord has opened up a door for our good friend and wonderful minister Danny Galasso to join Denvil Lee and me.


Apart from the work which the Holy Spirit will perform through signs and wonders, prophecy and healings, we will also be teaching on worship, through the anointed ministry of Denvil Lee. Denvil is an experienced worship leader who sings and plays the keyboards beautifully.


East Africa believers have little training in worship, and bringing in the glory of God. These are forerunner conferences as we will train leaders in the anointing of worship and the glory of God.


We are still in need of money for the advertisement that needs to be done in Kenya, the rental of keyboards, the rental of a tent and chairs in Western Kenya, and for some of our personal expenses. East Africans live in poverty and every expense is footed by us, including lodging, travelling expenses, the cost of advertisement and hosting these pioneer worship conferences.


We have a PayPal account on our web site through which you can conveniently give. You can also give donate by checks or money orders. All the directions are on our web site at

Christ The Head, Me The Body

Eph 1:22 God has put all things under His feet, and has appointed Him universal and supreme Head of the Church, which is His Body,



23 the completeness of Him who everywhere fills the universe with Himself.





Eph 3:8 Unto me, who am less than the least of all saints, is this grace given, that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ;



9 And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ:



10 To the intent that now unto the principalities and powers in heavenly places might be known by the church the manifold wisdom of God,



11 According to the eternal purpose which he purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord:



God's purpose for the church is so vast and so great, that on this side of eternity, we will hardly scratch the surface. I think of the existence of the church in the last two thousand years, and I think of how in so many ways we have missed the great purposes of Christ for it.



Yet is never too late for this “now generations” of believers to catch God's vision for the church and run with it.


Eph 1:22 God has put all things under His feet, and has appointed Him universal and supreme Head of the Church, which is His Body,



23 the completeness of Him who everywhere fills the universe with Himself.



Ephesians 1;22-23 is one of Paul's loftiest scriptural revelations from the Lord as to most pertinent purposes of the church.



What Paul is trying to exactly say here has been debated by many wonderful Biblical scholars. I believe that what they have to say is correct since there is so much in these scriptures.



I want to take my personal shot at them



The church is the body of Christ. Christ is the head. God gave me concept of the head just a few days ago. The head is what thinks, sees, hears, and plans and pulls the body along. Even after walking thirty years with the Lord I have found myself still being the head in numerous ways. Mind you, the Lord has been breaking me throughout the years. Yet in some issue in my life I have found myself trying to look into the future, carry financial burdens, worrying, planning, scheming, etc. God convicted me a few days ago, that these are all the responsibilities of the head, of which I am not.



As the body of Christ, my job is simply to hear and obey. The head does the figuring out. I do not have to see into the future or plan. I just follow the head, even Christ, who is doing the thinking, worrying, planning and watching out for me. Then I can truly be a son of God when I simply follow the plans of the head,or when I am led by the head..Wow! That revelation really took a lot of burdens of from me when I finally got it.



Ro 8:14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.



In Ephesians, it tells us that Christ has risen far above all things that are named in heaven, on earth and below the earth. He has sat at the right of God to rule all of these things and on top of that all things have been placed underneath His feet. By this act, He has claimed the title of The Head. The Father, has given Christ in this position, of The Head, to the church.



Now, a head is not complete without a body?



The body fills and carries out all that the head thinks, plans, sees and hears. Christ, in His position as head over all things in the universe, has been squarely situated and locked over the shoulders of the church which now becomes His body.



Paul then tells us in verse 22-23 that the church becomes the fullness of Christ. The word fullness, “pleroma” is an intricate word which I do not have time to discuss today. Let it suffice to say, that the fullness of Christ is the visible manifestation on this planet of what Christ has accomplished as the Head. If the church was truly functioning as it should, it would be manifesting the victories that Christ has gained over every name that is named in the universe as The Head into this habitable planet. This is why the church is the most powerful institution in the whole universe!



Col 2:10 And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power:



Eph 1:22 God has put all things under His feet, and has appointed Him universal and supreme Head of the Church, which is His Body,



23 the completeness ( fullness)of Him who everywhere fills the universe with Himself.



Col 1:18 And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence.



19 For it pleased the Father that in him should all fulness dwell;



In Colossians 1:18-19 we see another similar scriptural philosophy by Paul. If the church is functioning as it should, Christ would have preeminence in all thing in this natural world. This is because the church is the fullness of God.



The nature of fulness is to naturally and continually fill all things in the whole universe with what Christ has accomplished as The Head, until everything is totally filled. This can only be accomplished by the body or in a body which has been designed by God to house the processes which “fullness” execute.



Eph 3:8 Unto me, who am less than the least of all saints, is this grace given, that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ;



9 And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ:



10 To the intent that now unto the principalities and powers in heavenly places might be known by the church the manifold wisdom of God,



11 According to the eternal purpose which he purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord:



In Ephesians three we see the amazing importance of the church once again as it manifests the counsels and wisdom of God even to all of the angelic and demonic hierarchy.



Now, why do we not see the church being filled and manifesting the fullness of Christ into this habitable world?



I certainly do not have the full answer. I think that I do have a partial answer, because it is something that God is working out in my own life. If my personal spirit, soul and body are not in submitted order to Christ, The Head, how can I expect the greater and more complex body of Christ to come into order as a member of it? How can I fill the world with the fullness of Christ, through the church, His body, if the fullness of Christ is not filling my personal body?



1Co 9:27 But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway.



The subjection of Paul's personal human body did not happen by his fleshly efforts but by faith, by the revelation and grace of God in obedience.



There have been things in my personal human body which I have not brought under subjection. My eating habits have been one. I have struggled to diet for many years and have failed for the most part. The Lord has showed me that the key at least for me, has not being dieting, but having God bring to light the issues that I had as a kid which brought pain into my life and caused me to get into the habit of over eating, as a medication or comfort against the pain which I had. This then became a mental stronghold which has become an involuntary habit ..I need the revelation of the Spirit of God, the blood of Christ and the love of the Father to set me free.



As these issues have been brought to the light and I am being washed by the eternally flowing fountain of the blood of Christ my obsession with food is going away. I am bringing my body into subjection. Every place where there has been hidden sin in my life has kept sickness, weakness and bondage in me and impeded the fullness of Christ from filling me. I find the most effective thing for me is to get on my knees and say, “Lord show me the hidden sins in my life that I do not even know about. As God does so, and I confess them and bring them to the blood of Christ, freedom and healing come to my body.



Ro 6:13 neither present ye your members instruments of unrighteousness to the sin, but present yourselves to God as living out of the dead, and your members instruments of righteousness to God;



Ro 12:1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present <3936> your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.



Ro 6:19 In the manner of men I speak, because of the weakness of your flesh, for even as ye did present your members servants to the uncleanness and to the lawlessness—to the lawlessness, so now present your members servants to the righteousness —to sanctification,



I find myself now with a passion and a hunger to finally get my physical body into order in 2010. I have had enough with sin, sickness, bondage, and idolatry to the lusts of the flesh. I want to bring my body into subjection so that the resurrected Christ in me will no longer be fettered by my sin. I want to be filled with fullness of Christ. There is nothing like walking in freedom, and in the health, wholeness, sanity, integrity and the power of the new man who is Christ in me. I endeavor to say, Lord show me every wicked way in me, search me O Lord, shine a light me in me, expose my sin to myself. This is the year of God's governmental authority; it will happen however in proportion to how much governmental authority I have over my own body.



Only than when my physical body is becoming completely free by the blood of Christ and in subjection to the head, even Christ,can I exercise loving authority in my family. I believe that when my body comes under the total authority of the Lord Jesus Christ will my home come into total authority to Christ. Only then, can I expect that I can fully do my part to bring the church into the loving authority of the headship of Christ. Only when the church is totally submitted to the headship of Christ in all things,can it bring the preeminence of Christ and the loving kingdom authority of the risen Christ who is head above every name into this world. It must begin with you and me. We must pay the price to bring our spirits, souls and bodies individually in every way and in all things under the headship of Christ.



To finish please look with me at these scriptures.



Eph 5:27 that He might present the Church to Himself a glorious bride, without spot or wrinkle or any other defect, but to be holy and unblemished.



Col 1:22 He has now, in His human body, reconciled to God by His death, to bring you, holy and faultless and irreproachable, into His presence;



Col 1:28 Him we preach, admonishing every one and instructing every one, with all possible wisdom, so that we may bring every one into God’s presence, made perfect through Christ.



2Co 11:2 For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy: for I have espoused you to one husband, that I may present <3936> you as a chaste virgin to Christ.



Eph 5:27 That he might present <3936> it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.



Col 1:22 In the body of his flesh through death, to present <3936> you holy and unblameable and unreproveable in his sight:



Col 1:28 Whom we preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom; that we may present <3936> every man perfect in Christ Jesus:



All of these scriptures pertain first to our bodies as individual human beings and then to the body of Christ.



Our bodies must become so free that we are indeed people without spot or wrinkle, holy and unblemished. Now mind you,we live in a fallen world, we are all getting older because of sin, and on this earth we will die. But, the goal, the vision and the concept are real. “Lord I want to become so submitted to you that you will set me so free, that I will become without spot, wrinkle, unblemished, living in power, freedom, vigor and health.”



Take these last scriptures and apply them first to your physical body, your souls and your spirits. When we can begin to accomplish this personally it will automatically radiate to your families, then to the church,and then Christ will become truly influential in this world through the church.



Amen
