Jesus came to give us His abundant life but there are theives that would steal that from us. Learn to overcome REGRET of the PAST, and DREAD of the FUTURE and so enter into the JOY of the Lord.

We have an OUTER man and an INNER man. It is easy to become more interested in our OUTER life and what God can do for us, than our INNER life of fellowship with God through the Holy Spirit Who lives IN US. We can be more concerned with our reputation with people than our reputation with God. How much of our time do we give to God? We should value our relationship with God above all other things of our outer life!

God is looking for those whose heart is perfect toward Him: “The eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the earth to show Himself strong on behalf of those whose heart is loyal (perfect) toward Him” (2Chronicles 16:9). Those with a PURE heart toward Him will see His power and glory. Our Lord Jesus should be our PORTION, our ALL in ALL.

Knowing and submitting to the Lordship of Jesus begins at salvation and is the key to true spiritual growth. He is worthy to receive our obedience and worship as Lord because He gave Himself to us to be our Saviour.

In Revelation 2:2-4 Jesus calls us to: (1) REMEMBER what He has done for us and our first love for Him. (2) REPENT - admit the fault is OURS! (3) RETURN to our first love.

The gift of speaking in tongues is the supernatural ability to pray to God in a language that our mind does not understand. It is available to all believers in Christ (Acts 2:4, 1Corinthians 14:5). Praying in tongues is very beneficial to our spiritual life: “He who speaks in a tongue EDIFIES himself” (1Corinthians 14:4). God has given us this supernatural gift by which we can speak to Him spirit to Spirit, praying with our spirit rather than from our understanding (1Corinthians 14:14), SPEAKING mysteries (DIVINE SECRETS) with our HEAVENLY FATHER (1Corinthians 14.2).

Praying in Tongues is a heavenly prayer language, a wonderful gift from God, available to all believers. Hilary reveals and illustrates the power and benefits of Praying in Tongues. It enables us to transcend our minds and pray Spirit-inspired prayers from our spirit, praying the will of God according to the mind of the Spirit. Praying in the Spirit releases the Spirit and builds us up spiritually.

The experience of being filled or baptised in the Holy Spirit with the evidence of speaking with other tongues is available to all believers (Acts 2:4). This was promised by Jesus and fulfilled from the Day of Pentecost onwards (see Acts). Hilary shares from the scriptures and her own experience, building your faith so that you can receive the gift of the Holy Spirit from Jesus, and thereby know the power of the Spirit upon you and the rivers of the Spirit flowing out from your innermost being (John 7:38,39).

Worry is a sin that keeps you from trusting God for the answer to your problems. Hilary teaches you how you can cast all your cares and burdens on the Lord, so that you can live in the peace of God.

Hilary takes you through this inspirational Psalm, revealing the goodness of the Lord. It reveals Him as Jehovah (Yahweh) Rohi, who leads us into all His covenant provisions. She shows how all 8 of the Covenant Names of God are represented in the Psalm. When Jesus (Yeshua) said: "I am the Good Shepherd" in John 10, He was claiming to be the fulfilment of Psalm 23. Having died on the Cross (Psalm 22) the risen Lord now leads us into every blessing that He has purchased with His blood (Psalm 23), as we stay close to Him and keep our eyes on Him.
