Condemnation Is The Root
Cause
Romans 8:1, NASB
1Therefore there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ
Jesus.
When you have a plant with sickly leaves,
it would be foolish to just treat the leaves without knowing the
root cause of the problem. Similarly, when “leaves” of
sickness, poverty and destructive habits start sprouting in your
life, you need to know what the root cause is.
Experts will tell you that it is stress.
They may go a little deeper and say that it is fear — fear
of the future, of rejection, of loss, of death and so on. But is
fear really the root? Or is there something deeper than fear?
The Bible shows us that the most fundamental
cause of problems in our lives is condemnation. With condemnation
comes fear. Fear then induces stress which brings about the symptoms
of the curse.
This is what happened to Adam. Long before
he faced poverty, sickness and eventually death, he had stress.
Because of his sin, God told him, “In the sweat of your face
you shall eat bread till you return to the ground.” (Genesis
3:19) Sweat speaks of stress. But before there was stress, there
was fear because Adam told God, “I heard Your voice in the
garden, and I was afraid because I was naked; and I hid myself.”
(Genesis 3:10)
But what made Adam fearful? Adam only
feared when, seeing his nakedness, he realized that he had sinned
against God. He felt so ashamed and condemned that he hid himself.
God then asked him, “Who told you that you were naked?”
(Genesis 3:11) There was no one else in the garden other than Adam
and Eve, so we know that it was probably the devil who told Adam
that he was naked.
My friend, condemnation is the root cause
of the symptoms of the curse manifesting in your life. That is why
you need to know that at the cross, God took all your sins, put
them on Jesus and unleashed the full fury of His wrath against them
until Jesus cried out, “It is finished!”
All your sins have been completely punished
in the body of Christ who was condemned for you. The root cause
of all your problems has been dealt with. This means that the devil
cannot enforce the curse in your life apart from your receiving
condemnation. So come to the place of no condemnation and no sick
leaves will sprout in your life!

The Lord is saying. Get
back on the path that leads to life and cling tightly to me.
I will not let you go. I will help you to walk. Make the effort.
Back from Oklahoma!!
Hope you've all been wanting to see the pictures!!
The first part of How the West was Won (for
Jesus), was filmed while I was over there.
Dave Hinton is the producer of the film. It
is based on his true family history. Dave plays John Walker
who is father of Henry Walker, Henry plays the leading role.
Dave Hinton as John Walker
Dave plays a moonshiner who is illegally distilling whisky.
As he impatiently waits for his sons to come and help him, his
son Henry is getting saved at a Brush Harbour Revival, as he
hears his mother singing. John's two other sons turn up to tell
him the 'distressing' news. John Walker declares that he his
going to make sure that he teaches Henry a good hard lesson
when he sees him.
Henry's mum, Tina Walker (played by me, Shirley) sees him off
after his Dad beats him and tells him to go. She assures him
that there are two of them praying for his Dad now and that
John too will get saved.
Here' Tina praying for 'my boy', Henry. (What I forgot to tell
you was I had to do all this in an Irish accent!!)
Henry is used by God on his adventures, to get Mikey, a gold
miner, saved.
Henry says goodbye to Mikey
Tina plans to talk to her husband John Walker to help him face
the reason he is feeling so down lately ....which is of course
the missing Henry. She is small but authoritive and persuades
John to let her trim his hair and beard. During the scene she
preaches the gospel in a lovely way to her husband and convinces
him to go and find Henry..
A tender moment before John goes off on his journey to find
Henry.
There's much more. Keep praying for the film to get finished!!!

Round-The-Clock Protection
Psalm 91:5–6
5You shall not be afraid of the terror by night, nor of
the arrow that flies by day, 6nor of the pestilence that
walks in darkness, nor of the destruction that lays waste
at noonday.
During World War II, German planes bombed London. Houses
were leveled. But there was one that remained standing amidst
the rubble. Its owner said that when she read Psalm 121:4,
which says, “Behold, He who keeps Israel shall neither
slumber nor sleep,” she told the Lord, “Lord,
since You don’t sleep, then there is no point in both
of us keeping awake. I will sleep while You keep watch.”
And she did, while the Lord protected her and her house.
In 2005, terrorists attacked London’s public transport
system. That day, a Singaporean girl found herself unexpectedly
late for work and could not get to the train station in
time to board her usual train. When she finally neared the
station, she realized that it had been bombed just a few
minutes earlier. Her mother, who worships in our church,
believes that God protected her daughter that day.
God wants you to know that you have round-the-clock protection
— “You shall not be afraid of the terror by night,
nor of the arrow that flies by day, nor of the pestilence
that walks in darkness, nor of the destruction that lays
waste at noonday.”
He protects you from “the terror by night”, which
could refer to evils such as rape, kidnap or murder. He
promises you protection from “the arrow that flies
by day”. This could refer to bullets from a crazy sniper,
drive-by shootings or home-made rockets fired into your
territory.
God also shields you from “the pestilence that walks
in darkness”, referring to viruses which you cannot
see. You don’t have to be afraid of deadly viruses
lurking somewhere or wonder if some deadly disease is developing
in your body.
God also doesn’t want you to be afraid of “the
destruction that lays waste at noonday”, such as a
tsunami hitting the beach resort you are at, or a bomb going
off in the shopping mall you are in.
You need not be afraid because God, who neither slumbers
nor sleeps, is watching over you 24 hours a day!
