Steve Porter

Glory to God!

These are truly exciting times! The Sound of Heaven Conference with Steve Porter was amazing. From Wednesday to Sunday, the Lord used Steve to draw us closer and closer to Himself. The Lord has truly helped KLF, through Steve, to discover greater levels of intimacy with Him and has awakened in all of us a yearning desire to know and experience God more. We praise the Lord for this man of God who truly walks with God and has the gift to help the Church enter into places with God that few have been. Steve Porter and Josh McCreight have been a tremendous blessing to KLF, Frankfurt and Germany and we are convinced that God will continue to use Steve internationally to release a true revival of agape love in and through the Body of Christ! Hallelujah!

The messages from the conference are available here...

Living in revival

Glory to God!

Yesterday the Lord spoke to us about the evidence of a revived heart and this is what He showed us:

• When people become God-conscious, they begin to respond to God.
• People who respond to God are being revived as they begin to live in the fear of the Lord.
  
• When people are being revived, their hearts are changed toward God.
• The evidence of a revived heart is the following:
  

• The realisation of one's absolute need for God - a life that relies on God as its Source and not just its Solution to live a godly life - living from God. Isaiah 6:1-7; Acts 2:37; Luke 5:1-11; Psalm 63
• A heart that cries out, "I need you, Lord!"
  
• Unless believers realise their need for God, they won't live lives relying on God.

• The desire to know God more - a life that desires constant communion with God to respond to Him - living because of God. Phil. 3:7-11; Eph. 1:17
• A heart that cries out, "I want to know you, Lord!"
  
• Unless believers desire intimacy and fellowship with God, they won't live lives in response to Him.

• The desire to do God's will - a life that desires to know God's will to obey it in order to revere God - living for God. Col. 1:9,10; Eph. 5:17
• A heart that cries out, "I want to do your will, Lord!"
  
• Unless believers know God's will they cannot obey Him to honour Him out of their love for Him.

Lives are being revived as we learn to walk in the fear of the Lord. Hallelujah!

Quote of the week:

"O God, you are my God, earnestly I seek you; my soul thirsts for you, my body longs for you, in a dry and weary land where there is no water. I have seen you in the sanctuary and beheld your power and your glory. Because your love is better than life, my lips will glorify you. I will praise you as long as I live, and in your name I will lift up my hands. My soul will be satisfied as with the richest of foods; with singing lips my mouth will praise you. On my bed I remember you; I think of you through the watches of the night. Because you are my help, I sing in the shadow of your wings. My soul clings to you; your right hand upholds me." Psalm 63:1-8

The Overcoming Spirit

Praise the Lord!

God is rebuilding, restoring and renewing His people as we encounter Him in our meetings and in our fellowship with one another. It's awesome!

Yesterday the Lord spoke to us about walking in victory and living by the overcoming Spirit in us. This is what He showed us:

• Jesus overcame the world, the flesh and the devil. John 16:33; Mt. 26:36-45; 1 John 3:8
• Jesus never gave in to the will and the ways of the world, the self-life or the devil but always did the will of the Father and lived according to the Father's ways.
• Just as Jesus overcame so He expects His followers to do the same. Rev. 2:7,11,17,26,27; 3:5,6,12,21; 21:6-8
• The believer is called to run to win the race. 1 Cor. 9:24-26
• To overcome, the believer must appropriate the victory he has in Christ and continue in the overcoming spirit by remaining in Him.
• By remaining in Christ and His Word, the believer will overcome the world, the flesh and the devil. 1 John 5:4; Gal. 5:16,17; 1 John 2:14
• God empowers the believer to overcome. Psalm 44:3; Rom. 8:34-39; Eph. 6:10; 1 Cor. 15:57; 1 John 4:4; 2 Cor. 2:15; 2 Tim. 1:7
• Through faith in the Overcomer who lives in the believer and in whom the believer lives, s/he will overcome!

How does the believer activate an overcoming spirit?

1. Trust that you have received the Spirit of the Victorious One. 2 Tim. 1:7; 1 John 4:4
   
2. Build yourself up in your faith by realising who you are one with. Jude 20; 1 John 4:15
   
3. Allow the Word of God to remain in you. John 15:7; 1 John 5:4
4. Position yourself for victory! Joshua 6
   
5. Think before you act!
   
6. Become increasingly God-conscious. Psalm 44:3
7. Overcome one challenge at a time.
8. Practice exchanging evil with good. Rom. 12:21
9. Overcome in secret to overcome in public.
10. Find out what pleases God and do it.
11. Shake off failures but learn from them. Don't allow past failures to affect your spirit or the future.
12. Celebrate small victories.
13. Record and remember your victories (testimonies).
14. Choose to walk daily in an overcoming spirit and don't be overcome by the will and the ways of the world, the flesh and the devil!

People are being saved, healed and delivered as they place their faith in the great Overcomer - our victorious Jesus Christ! Hallelujah!

Quote of the week:

"Don't you realise that in a race everyone runs, but only one person gets the prize? So run to win! All athletes are disciplined in their training. They do it to win a prize that will fade away, but we do it for an eternal prize. So I run with purpose in every step." 1 Cor. 9:24-26 (NLT)
