HOW TO MANAGE YOUR MIND

None of the attendees missed the opportunity to praise the Heavenly Father with Spirit-inspired hymns from pure hearts! Each verse was a prayer to Him who protects us day and night with His grace.

The man of God preached at the altar a unique message titled: “HOW TO MANAGE YOUR MIND”, through which he analysed the importance of the proper management of our thoughts. To begin with, he stated that there are people who sabotage themselves, confess negatively and always expect the worst to happen. However, he stressed that as children of God there is power in our words and that our mind should not be our master, but our servant!

The first biblical passage was taken and based on Matthew 14:22-32, quoting the well-known incident with Peter, who wanted to walk on the waves just like his Teacher! As the disciples of Jesus Christ struggled in the fierce storm, He was able to walk on the waves, which Peter also managed through faith, only as long as His focus remained fixed on Jesus Christ. The man of God noted that Peter began to sink and panic the moment he looked around and saw the unruly wind, the uncontrollable waters… That was the very moment when fear and doubt prevailed within him. Of course, the same thing happens to us, the children of God today, that also need to manage our minds properly.

The man of God specifically went on to say that the fear we feel, stops us from making important decisions in all areas of our lives, such as career, education and marriage! In other words, because of this weakness there is a delay in our progress. The man of God encouraged the congregation, pointing out: “Our major enemy is that monster called fear – but you have a Friend, the Holy Spirit who is ready to defeat fear for you today!”.

The second biblical example he presented was that of Joseph and his phenomenal course of life, reading from the book of Genesis 37:23-28.

While presenting this case, the man of God Harry focused his attention on Joseph’s steadfast faith, since the very beginning of his trials. From the dry pit to slavery, and finally, to imprisonment, the man of God explained that God’s grace was upon him because he always stood for what he believed! The flame of his vision never turned to smoke and he knew that his final destination was undoubtedly the throne, just as the Heavenly Father had shown him in a dream. The man of God used the enlightening attitude of Joseph and emphasised that it was as a result of managing his mind. Thus, he concluded and clarified that: “Mind management is the first priority for an overcomer”.

Regardless of the significance of the challenges that came before him, Joseph was convinced that God honours the people who plan for their lives, which he did, unlike many people today…

Concluding the message, the man of God stated that if we really have dreams, we must start a proper plan for our lives. Therefore, let us learn to manage our minds, actions, and also our words correctly, banishing any kind of fear!

PIZZA FROM ABOVE

Mrs. Anastasia Mavridou from Giannitsa witnessed the power of God when she started visiting the Synagogue, Church of All Nations Thessaloniki, following a touch from God through the guidance of the man of God, Charis. She returned on Sunday to share with the people of God the beautiful transformation in her life after all she experienced in His presence!

In her testimony, she made a recollection of the beginning of her career when in 1993, she started to be active in the clothing trade industry. Unfortunately, things did not go as expected and she was forced to sell her business. She then joined a multinational company were she was employed in the department of sales. She was given the opportunity to make sales all over Greece and earn a lot of money, but she strangely was always left with no money… To indicate the extent of the financial comfort her work offered her, she stressed that she could have done great things, even build her own buildings, but she did not build not even a single shed!

She then got to know the Synagogue, Church Of All Nations Thessalonica. She came to the church, asked to see the man of God, and told him about the course of her life. He understood that God wanted to give her blessings but until then she had no direction. God, then, used His messenger to show her the way and guide her to the path of God’s success! For her, the beginning of prosperity and breakthrough was the moment she received a note from the man of God Harry, in which he wrote the steps that would lead her to prosperity and blessing. After he wrote them, he signed the note and gave it to her!

Since she had made thousands of euros all these years, he told her that she owned the first step, which was earning money, but she still had three more steps to learn. She also had to learn how to maintain them, invest them and finally multiply them! She certainly knew how to make money, but it would vanish!

Thus, while she was active in sales, she received a cooperation proposal in the city of Thessaloniki. Specifically, the proposal referred to the opening of a pizza place in the area of Evosmos. As Ms. Mavridou was acquainted with the people proposing the pizza store to her, she thought it was her chance to invest! She accepted the offer, and although they found the shop in an area she did not know, she trusted the man of God who told her that God had something great in store for her!

She met with the contractor, thinking until then that she would take shares in this new business that would open, but after their discussion, she felt that something was wrong, and she consulted the man of God Harry. He said to her: “God wants to bless you alone and not with other people who do not have the same spirit with you!”. Taking this instruction, Ms. Mavridou decided to start the pizza place alone and after announcing it to the people who first approached her, they gave her the shop they had found along with their blessing!

Although she did not know the job nor the business of making pizza, she realised she needed a good recipe, in order to succeed so she decided to apply the words of the man of God in her life. In a time of pandemic and quarantine, Ms. Mavridou began the process of starting her own business! Proceeding toward her vision, she took the step and rented the shop, which did not even have a floor. She had to build it from scratch herself… As time went on, she slowly gathered all the products she needed, and God led her to people who gave her the recipe she was looking for! He also made sure to send her His own child, who undertook the job to prepare the shop from zero and handed it to her fully completed!

When it came to the name of the business, inspired by the Man of God Prophet T. B. Joshua, she decided to use the first letter of his last name. In combination with the initials of her name she named the business “PIZZA MAT”!

With boldness at every step of the way and in search of staff, she came again to the Synagogue, Church Of All Nations Thessalonica, having written on her agenda: “I am looking for an employee with character!”. The man of God Harry prayed for her and, on the same day, an employee whom Ms. Mavridou wanted to work in her shop, although he did not know anything about the art of pizza-making, he accepted her proposal before she even mentioned his working hours or his salary!

By the grace of God, the store “PIZZA MAT” opened on the 28th of October and the Lord’s miracles were not over yet! On the grand opening, the crowd that arrived at her new pizza place reached 400 people, to whom Ms. Mavridou distributed pizza slices for free, in order to see the response of her customers to her product. By the end of the week, 1,000 customers had already visited!

As a matter of fact, the fame of PIZZA MAT has reached the whole area of Evosmos as the best pizza in the area and it has already started receiving proposals for franchise!

Excited and full of gratitude, she encouraged those present to seek the direction of God and to receive the advice of a genuine man of His, in order to reach the success that God has prepared for them! Finally, she promised to continue to stand before God and men and to glorify God for everything good she accomplishes in her life!

We need good, inspired and well-informed people in order to make it in our respective callings because if one has to succeed, someone else has to show him the way!

SHE STOOD FOR HER FAMILY AND GOD BLESSED HER

Following the divine intervention of Jesus Christ in her life, Mrs. Vasiliki Nikolaou hurried to the Synagogue, Church of All Nations Thessaloniki, full of heavenly blessings! She used her personal experience as an example to testify before the people of God that the Lord’s hand is mighty in every situation!

A week before her testimony, Miss Nikolaou took part in the prayer line of the Synagogue, Church Of All Nations Thessalonica, placing her family and her hope in Jesus Christ’s hands! As the man of God Harry prayed for her and her mother, he gave her the following prophetic word: “Where is your family? Today is the day of your appointment with Jesus Christ and they decided that work, going out, pleasure or resting is more important than their appointment with Jesus Christ. It is alright, glory be to God that at least the two of you came. It’s not that God does not bless you or give you things. He blesses you, He gives you things, He gives you good health, He gives you all the things that you cannot even think about, things you cannot imagine. Your mistake is that you allow the devil to come and steal it from you. You come to church, you receive your blessings, your joy, your breakthrough, you receive it all from the Lord generously, and then you allow the devil to come and steal it from you; how? When you strike up a conversation with the devil! Because you can tell when the devil is talking and when man is talking. You should not be chatting with the devil! That is your mistake, you start a conversation; and after you start a conversation, you fall into error, and when you fall into error, then he has authority. The devil has no authority over you except through sin. When he sees that you have committed an error, when he sees that you have sinned, he says: ‘I have authority!’. He is entitled to steal blessings from you. That is what happens in your family”. Then the man of God Harry, asking the Lord to reveal His power in their weakness, declared them free once and for all!

Miss Nikolaou began by describing the long-lasting situation in her home and stressed that there were extremely intense and violent fights on a frequent basis. The situation was getting so out of control that the neighbours had to call the police because of the fuss. They would shout and swear at each other, throw and break things, and even proceeded to hit each other! Her own mental condition was in an equally bad state, as she was both experiencing and taking part in such behaviours. She had gone to the extent of leaving her home to escape from all these problems, as she did not want to be part of the fights and act this way. However, she was unable to control it.

She also had awful nightmares which caused her agitation, sadness, anger and intense despair, which led her to negative, often self-destructive thoughts and, as a consequence, to suicidal tendencies. She thought about harming herself in many ways such as taking drugs or smoking. She even mentioned that she found herself holding a knife, contemplating slitting her wrists…

As the man of God pointed out in the prayer line, God has lavishly blessed her family, yet, they did not know how to manage their money wisely and were constantly spending it on things that did not please God. Thus, they had six hookahs in the house and were continuously wasting the blessings God had given them on temporary pleasures! Miss Nikolaou wanted to be financially independent and manage her own money, so she was desperately looking for a job, but it was in vain!

A week after the prayer, the changes were obvious! Miss Nikolaou explained that she now has peace in her heart, unlike before. God has put an end to all those negative feelings, as well as any negative and self-destructive thoughts she had. She stopped having nightmares and stated that she wakes up calm in the morning. Her relationship with God improved, and she started loving herself and being mindful of her actions!

In addition, she changed her attitude towards her family, returned home and started to deal with issues through calm discussion rather than shouting and arguing as before. She decided to become a problem solver for the people around her! With this renewed mindset, seeing that her sister, with whom she previously did not have a good relationship, did not have a mobile phone, she rushed to help her by buying her a brand-new device! Her sister, surprised by the sudden solution to her problem and full of gratitude, began to change her behaviour as well, inviting Miss Nikolaou to discuss any problem that would occur. So, through discussion she would listen to her point of view and they would calmly find a solution, thus changing the atmosphere in her house!

The blessings did not stop there! On Monday, a day after the prayer, Miss Nikolaou submitted her resume for a position in a call centre of a well-known telecommunications company. The very next day, she was invited to attend the company’s offices, where she was hired on the spot! Moreover, she was informed that the training she would have to undergo in order to start working in the call centre would be paid for by the company! Without having any previous experience in the field, and having only finished junior high school, on the third day of her training she was assigned a real call and as if that was not enough, she managed to sign a contract with a client on her first day, something that none of her colleagues had ever achieved! Miss Nikolaou pointed out that all the skills she now uses in her work are as a result of the knowledge she received from being a worker of Christ, close to the man of God Harry in the numerous departments that exist in the church. In fact, she was particularly encouraged by the words of the man of God, who constantly advises the people of God to always work as if they are working for the Lord, giving their best!

Blessed in every area of her life, she advised the congregation to stop seeking solutions in other things, but to run towards God in every problem, in every error, because He has the solution for every matter in life. Lastly, she promised to give thanks to God through her life and honour Him with her character!

Our battle is not against flesh and blood, but against unclean spirits! Stop fighting against people. Stop fighting the wrong battle. When you make a mistake as everyone does, ask God to give you the grace to not run away from Him, but run to Him to become an overcomer! Because you and God are majority!

DEMONIC ATTACKS MADE HER LIVE A LIFE OF DISAPPOINTMENT AND REJECTION

Mrs. Kuggle Kelly from Austria came to the Synagogue, Church of All Nations Thessaloniki, with the hope that God would meet her need and put an end to the troubles in her life. And He did!

As the Spirit of God guided the man of God Harry, He gave him a prophetic word about Ms. Weigl. Specifically, he told her: “Do not allow rejection to cause you to make more mistakes in your life, because rejection has been the order of the day in your life. People just reject you for no reason, even without doing anything to them, they just do not want anything that has to do with you. And you think people hate you, but it is not hatred exactly, it is rejection. This is the work of satan in your life. He causes people to reject you, so that you commit more mistakes. Because of the pain you say: ‘I do not care, let them say whatever they want to say, I will do what I want!’ and you find yourself implicated even worse. So when you make a mistake as everyone does, do not run away from God, run close to Him. This is the time you have to be strong in prayer, in your faith. Forget about the rejection of the past, forget about the pain. Now it is you and God. You have to establish this close relationship with the Holy Spirit. This disappointment, especially in the area of marriage, is too much. Jesus Christ loves you! You are free!”.

Clearly moved, but also grateful to God, Ms. Weigl wanted to confirm everything that the Spirit of God revealed to her through the man of God! She explained that her life was, in fact, in the midst of disappointment and rejection. The people around her rejected her and disappointed her for no particular reason, while she treated them as if they were her family!

In particular, she mentioned that in the past, a man who lived with her, suddenly left her without any explanation. In fact, he was hiding from her. Ms Weigl was praying for him, provided him shelter, her time, and, finally, she received hatred and rejection from him! She felt that she had something on her that repelled people from her and this caused her great frustration… Because of the rejection she was experiencing she made many mistakes in the past, things that did not please God and, thus, she came to hate herself, because she could not understand what her problem was.

The biggest disappointment, however, was in terms of marriage. When someone approached her, she felt that she did not deserve it and with her behaviour she made him walk away. She said she had two serious relationships in the past that failed and never ended in marriage.

Now, after the prayer she received, she believes and declares that her past is over and she is a whole new person! Happy and blessed that God intervened in her life, she stated that she now wants to walk with Jesus Christ, to read, obey the Word of God and always be guided by the Holy Spirit!

When God comes into someone’s life, He comes to put an end to his unworthy past and to give birth to a glorious future!

No one can deny that the Great Deliverer is still Alive and the pictures below are undeniable proof of that. Jesus Christ continues to work and transform sadness into joy in people’s lives, thus keeping His promise!
