We Were Predestined

August 7th, 2024

Those of us who are embracing the call to walk in Holiness, are destined to manifest HIS Glory here on earth!

How and when will this manifestation occur?  What does it matter?  FATHER will express HIS Glory in due time.

The word predestined means: to predetermine, decide beforehand; God decreeing from Eternity; to foreordain, appoint beforehand.

You and I were not unintended accidents at the time of our conception.  FATHER predetermined who we were to be prior to that moment.  Out of HIS Love, HE gave us the choice to walk in the foreordained appointment and anointing to fulfill our individual Divine purposes.  Paul understood this by direct revelation from Jesus Himself.

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Romans chapter 8:

18 For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is to be revealed to us.

19 For the creation waits with eager longing for the revealing of the Sons of God. 20 For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of him who subjected it, in hope

21 that the creation itself will be set free from its bondage to corruption and obtain the freedom of the glory of the Children of God.

22 For we know that the whole creation has been groaning together in the pains of childbirth until now.

23 And not only the creation, but we ourselves, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we wait eagerly for adoption as sons, the redemption of our bodies.

24 For in this hope we were saved. Now hope that is seen is not hope. For who hopes for what he sees?

25 But if we hope for what we do not see, we wait for it with patience.

I am fully committed to praying in THE SPIRIT daily, and I hope you are too.  FATHER intends to reveal HIS Glory in HIS vessels of honor who have been fully cleansed, ultimately becoming pure in heart.  Let patience have her perfect work!

Jesus spoke in Matthew chapter 5:

8 “Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.”

As we fully embrace the importance of The Blood of Christ in our lives, we know by HIS Grace that we can stand before FATHER and see HIM.  We will have no questions but will worship HIM in the fear of THE LORD.

Paul continues in Romans chapter 8:

26 Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness. For we do not know what to pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words.

27 And He Who searches hearts knows what is the Mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints according to the will of God.

The Holy Spirit is the Perfect Intercessor and reliable Counselor to represent us to FATHER in all areas.  Who better to lead us into the manifestation of GOD’S Glory!

28 And we know that for those who Love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to HIS purpose.

Let us not shy away from the trials and tribulations that we must face as we move toward full maturity in Holiness.  Just as Joseph held onto the promise given to him by GOD as he was imprisoned, we too are not to fear the circumstances before us.

29 For those whom HE foreknew HE also predestined to be conformed to the Image of his Son, in order that HE might be the Firstborn among many brothers.

30 And those whom HE predestined HE also called, and those whom HE called HE also justified, and those whom HE justified HE also glorified.

In other Words, having determined our destiny ahead of time, HE called us to Himself and transferred His perfect righteousness to everyone He called. And those who possess His perfect righteousness He co-glorified with his Son!

Fully accept and embrace HIS Plan for your life!

Pleasing FATHER

August 6th, 2024

The early believers who experienced Pentecost, devoted themselves to Christ and the teachings of the apostles!

FATHER takes pleasure in those who devote themselves to HIM.

Luke wrote by The Holy Spirit in Acts chapter 2:

42 And they devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and the prayers.

43 And awe came upon every soul, and many wonders and signs were being done through the apostles.

44 And all who believed were together and had all things in common.

45 And they were selling their possessions and belongings and distributing the proceeds to all, as any had need.

46 And day by day, attending the temple together and breaking bread in their homes, they received their food with glad and generous hearts,

47 praising God and having favor with all the people. And the Lord added to their number day by day those who were being saved.

Look at what happens when believers fully devote themselves to THE LORD.  Many signs and wonders come forth and THE LORD adds to the true church day by day.  They take Holy Communion daily with glad and generous hearts.  They become generous with their possessions, and they have favor with all the people.  Shouldn’t this be an example to us?

It is written by THE SPIRIT in Psalm chapter 149:

4 For the LORD takes pleasure in His people; He adorns the humble with salvation.

How does FATHER respond?  HE takes pleasure in HIS people who are devoted to HIM.

It is written by THE SPIRIT in Zephaniah chapter 3:

17 The LORD your God is in your midst, a Mighty One Who will save; HE will rejoice over you with gladness; HE will quiet you by His Love; HE will exult over you with loud singing.

When we are fully devoted to HIM, HE will be pleased and rejoice over us.

And it is written by THE SPIRIT in Psalm chapter 147:

11 but the LORD takes pleasure in those who fear HIM, in those who hope in HISs steadfast Love.

Devoted believers have a reverential fear of THE LORD in their hearts, and HE takes pleasure in them!

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirt in Ephesians chapter 1:

3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, Who has blessed us in Christ with every Spiritual blessing in the Heavenly places,

4 even as HE chose us in HIM before the foundation of the world, that we should be Holy and blameless before HIM.

Think of it, HE planned for you and me to be HIS devoted believers, but it is up to each of us to accept such a privilege.  I ACCEPT!

Jude wrote by The Holy Spirit in verses:

24 Now to HIM Who is able to keep you from stumbling and to present you blameless before the Presence of HIS glory with great joy,

25 to the only God, our Savior, through Jesus Christ our Lord, be glory, majesty, dominion, and authority, before all time and now and forever. Amen.

Both FATHER and Our Lord Jesus Christ have great joy in us.

Peter wrote by The Holy Spirit in 2nd Peter chapter 3:

14 Therefore, beloved, since you are waiting for these, be diligent to be found by Him without spot or blemish, and at peace.

We are to be devoted consistently on a daily basis.

And finally, Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Philippians chapter 2:

13 for it is God Who works in you, both to will and to work for HIS good pleasure. 14 Do all things without grumbling or disputing,

15 that you may be blameless and innocent, children of God without blemish in the midst of a crooked and twisted generation, among whom you shine as lights in the world,

FATHER is pleased when we allow HIM to work in us as we are able to confront this crooked and perverse generation in a purely righteous manner.  Let HIM flow through you each day and HE will be pleased!

Another Kids In Need Update

August 6th, 2024

I met with Mrs. Donley at the middle school last week. There is a middle school boy whose dad is in the end stages of a cancer diagnosis. This was one of the families that Servias blessed last Christmas. He will be undergoing a very extensive surgery which will require them to be out of state for several weeks. They met with Mrs. Donley a couple of weeks ago to talk about the impact that all of this will have on them. She was able to provide them with some Crest cards provided by Servias to help financially as they’re navigating all of this. In situations like this, we often feel like there is nothing we can do because the situation is so heavy. But what a blessing that she could not only love them, encourage them, and support them emotionally, but she could also provide something tangible. 

Pursuing Holiness- Part 88

August 5th, 2024

As we are fully aligned and submitted to Jesus Christ, we will walk as one with Him and be fully mature in Holiness!

Paul being moved by The Holy Spirit wrote in Ephesians chapter 1:

1 Dear friends, My name is Paul, and I was chosen by God to be an apostle of Jesus, the Messiah.

2 I’m writing this letter to all the devoted believers who have been made Holy by being One with Jesus, the Anointed One. May God Himself, the Heavenly Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, release grace over you and impart total well-being into your lives.

Our conduct will testify that we are One with Jesus Christ Who is the Light to the world.

4 And in Love Our Heavenly Father chose us before He laid the foundation of the universe! Because of His great Love, He ordained us, so that we would be seen as Holy in His Eyes with an unstained innocence.

How can we walk in unstained innocence?  It is due to the Perfect Sacrifice of The Blood of Jesus Christ.

Paul also wrote by The Holy Spirit in 1st Corinthians chapter 11:

23 I have handed down to you what came to me by direct revelation from the Lord Himself. The same night in which He was handed over, He took bread

24 and gave thanks. Then he distributed it to the disciples and said, “Take it and eat your fill. It is My Body, which is given for you. Do this to remember Me.”

25 He did the same with the cup of wine after supper and said, This cup seals the New Covenant with My Blood. Drink it—and whenever you drink this, do it to remember Me.”

26 For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until He comes.

How often should we take Holy Communion?  Some churches take It every Sunday, some take It once per month, and some don’t take it at all.  My wife and I have been led to take Communion each morning before breakfast.  How better to keep the Seal of the New Covenant in remembrance than taking It daily!  We are to walk Holy and blameless before Him in Love in a consistent manner… daily.  Redemption only comes through His Blood and by no other means.  When we take Holy Communion daily, we exalt this Truth daily and keep It in remembrance.

As Paul faithfully wrote of the revelation given to him directly by Christ for us in Ephesians chapter 1:

7 Since we are now joined to Christ, we have been given the treasures of redemption by His Blood—the total cancellation of our sins—all because of the cascading riches of His grace.

8 This superabundant grace is already powerfully working in us, releasing all forms of Wisdom and practical understanding.

9 And through the revelation of the Anointed One, He unveiled His secret desires to us—the hidden mystery of His long-range plan, which He was delighted to implement from the very beginning of time.

10 And because of God’s unfailing purpose, this detailed plan will reign supreme through every period of time until the fulfillment of all the ages finally reaches its climax—when God makes all things new in all of Heaven and earth through Jesus Christ.

Tumultuous times are ahead, and we need to walk in Wisdom and practical understanding.  Are we quickly moving toward its climax?  The signs of the times testify that we are.  No matter where we are at on FATHER’S timeline, we need to be fully prepared and walk in Holiness and be a light in the increasing darkness.  Our lights are to shine brighter as the darkness increases all around us.

As we walk in Holiness, the things of the world become dim and are no longer exciting priorities as they once were!

Moses recorded by THE SPIRIT in Psalm chapter 90:

14 Satisfy us in the morning with Your steadfast Love, that we may rejoice and be glad all our days.

David recorded by THE SPIRIT in Psalm chapter 17:

13 Arise, O LORD! Confront him, subdue him! Deliver my soul from the wicked by your sword,

14 from men by your hand, O LORD, from men of the world whose portion is in this life. You fill their womb with treasure; they are satisfied with children, and they leave their abundance to their infants.

15 As for me, I shall behold Your Face in righteousness; when I awake, I shall be satisfied with Your Likeness.

Asaph recorded by THE SPIRIT in Psalm 73:

25 Whom have I in Heaven but You? And there is nothing on earth that I desire besides You.

26 My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the Strength of my heart and my portion forever.

All three individuals were moved by THE SPIRIT to focus on the Spiritual rather than the worldly.  We are to do the same.

FATHER used Paul being moved by The Holy Spirit to write in Ephesians chapter 1:

3Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, Who has blessed us in Christ with every Spiritual blessing in the Heavenly places,

4 even as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be Holy and blameless before Him. In Love

Embrace the Truth that we were chosen, and we are to walk in Holiness!  If we couldn’t, HE would not have stated such a Truth.

5 He predestined us for adoption to Himself as Sons through Jesus Christ, according to the purpose of His Will,

Grasp this Truth that we were predestined to be Sons (and Daughters) through Jesus Christ (the Door).  This is the stated purpose of His Will.  Accept it!

6 to the praise of His glorious grace, with which He has blessed us in the Beloved.

7 In Him we have redemption through His Blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of His grace,

8 which He lavished upon us, in all Wisdom and insight

Jesus Christ is the only Door, there is no other.  There is only one Way to GOD, THE FATHER.

9 making known to us the mystery of His Will, according to His purpose, which He set forth in Christ

FATHER is openly making known the mystery of HIS WILL with greater details at this time in history.

10 as a plan for the fullness of time, to unite all things in Him, things in Heaven and things on earth.

FATHER will unite Heaven and earth in the fullness of times.  The adversary knows it, the demons know it, and you and I know it.  This is why the adversary and his minions are making an all out attempt to deceive the world by luring their flesh and souls toward full and complete submission to unrighteousness.

The opening ceremony of this year’s Olympics included a group of drag queens openly mocking The Last Supper.  No longer are the devices and intent of the devil being hidden.  This is a sure indication that we are in the final stages of the last days.  Deception has become openly blatant! 

We must focus on immersing ourselves in The Spirit and The Word in preparation for the tumultuous times ahead.  Do not fear for we are assured of victory against the wiles of the devil.  As we walk in Holiness, we will not be moved by what the world has to offer.

As we walk in Holiness, our ability to test the spirits will improve and we will not be needlessly impacted by their prophecies!

The Beloved Disciple wrote by The Holy Spirit in 1st John chapter 4:

1 Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God; because many false prophets have gone out into the world.

2 By this you know the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is of God,

3 and every spirit that does not confess that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is not of God. And this is the spirit of the Antichrist, which you have heard was coming, and is now already in the world.

4 You are of God, little children, and have overcome them, because He Who is in you is greater than he who is in the world.

5 They are of the world. Therefore they speak as of the world, and the world hears them.

6 We are of God. He Who knows God hears us; he who is not of God does not hear us. By this we know the spirit of Truth and the spirit of error.

Over the years, I have heard hundreds of prophetic words, some by well-known prophets and some by those claiming to have the gift of prophecy.  I have relied on The Holy Spirit to discern not only the accuracy, but the impact of those prophecies on myself and my family.  Yes, it can be challenging to discern the Truth contained in those prophecies.

Some prophecies are intended to sway us by appealing to our souls.  Those words arise out of the soulish intent of the one giving the proclamation.  If it has to do with money, we must be especially cautious about the intent.

In Scripture, most prophecies have to do with warnings of what is to come.  It is vital that we understand that the future can change with prayer and fasting.  Some prophecies are certain and assured of coming to pass.  If the prophecy is expected to impact us, we are to rest assured that FATHER will navigate us through the tumultuous times declared in the prophecy.  We are not to fear the prophecy!

FATHER is longsuffering and patient with HIS children… thankfully.

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Romans chapter 8:

26 Likewise the Spirit also helps in our weaknesses. For we do not know what we should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.

This is exactly why I pray in THE SPIRIT daily.  The Holy Spirit knows the future and will lead and guide me through whatever lies ahead.  I cannot rely on the “talking heads” on TV or YouTube to know what is coming.  They simply attempt to project the future based on the past.

27 Now He who searches the hearts knows what the Mind of the Spirit is, because He makes intercession for the saints according to the Will of God.

28 And we know that all things work together for good to those who Love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.

No matter what happens, I place my trust in GOD Who Loves me and will see me through the times ahead.

29 For whom He foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the Image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren.

30 Moreover whom He predestined, these He also called; whom He called, these He also justified; and whom He justified, these He also glorified.

31 What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?

The adversary has plans to promote his kingdom at the expense of mankind.  He is using vessels of dishonor to carry out his nefarious activities.  He grossly underestimates the Power of GOD.  Let our trust in GOD never wane by what we see and hear in the world.

32 He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things?

33 Who shall bring a charge against God’s elect? It is God who justifies.

34 Who is he who condemns? It is Christ who died, and furthermore is also risen, who is even at the right hand of God, who also makes intercession for us.

35 Who shall separate us from the Love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?

No one can separate us from Christ!

36 As it is written: “For Your sake we are killed all day long; We are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.”

37 Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us.

If we are never attacked, how can we be more than conquerors?  Our faith will be tested to see if it is genuine.  By continually immersing ourselves in The Word and prayer, we will be victorious in all circumstances.

38 For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come,

39 nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the Love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

If a prophecy causes fear to grip your heart, you should spend more time in strengthening your faith and trust in THE LORD.  When you are at total peace, your trust in FATHER has matured.

The following is a recent “prophecy” that has circulated due to its accuracy of the most recent assassination attempt.  This man later admitted that he inserted the conclusion that the blood was due to the ear drum rupturing rather than the bullet striking the ear.  Don’t let one minor detail determine the rest of his prophecy.  Allow The Holy Spirit to discern what actions to take, if any.

Amos 3:7 NKJV
Surely the Lord GOD does nothing, Unless He reveals His secret to His servants the prophets.

The dark trinity

August 2nd, 2024

Demon spirits don’t die, they look to enter into the weak!

Jesus spoke in Matthew chapter 12:

43 “When a demon is cast out of a person, it roams around a dry region, looking for a place to rest, but never finds it.

44 Then it says, ‘I’ll return to the house I moved out of,’ and so it goes back, only to find that the house is vacant, warm, and ready for it to move back in.

45 So it goes looking for seven other demons more evil than itself, and they all enter together to live there. Then the person’s condition becomes much worse than it was in the beginning. This describes what will also happen to the people of this evil generation.”

Jesus acknowledged the presence of demons so we should be fully aware of them as well.  Jesus shows us that the latter state is eight times worse than the first state.  Jesus also stated that entire cultures are subject to this reality as well.

Entire cultures can be oppressed, possessed, delivered, and then repossessed.

Any nation that has known GOD, that been delivered by GOD, cleansed by GOD, if the nation should ever turn away from GOD, if it should ever empty itself of the Spirit of the Gospel, of the power of the faith that cleansed it, then those spirits that were cast out of it will return and come back into it.

In the 1960’s throughout the nation, we prayed The Lord’s Prayer in school every day.  We were exposed to absolute Truth.  We had no need for metal detectors or campus police.  Most of us walked to school without concern.  Families were normal.  We had no need to lock our doors at night.  We had no school mass shootings.  Kids did not question their gender.  Once prayer and the Bible were removed from school, things began to change, slowly at first.  When you take GOD from the children, you are taking GOD from the future of society.  We now see the results.

The same ancient spirits have returned to promote their narrative that has been seen time and time again throughout history.  Their goal is to turn the Judeo-Christian culture into a pagan culture.  The pagans are attempting to silence and cancel out Christians in the media.  Why?  They are afraid of those who serve Jesus Christ and understand the importance of His Blood.

The dark, bizarre, irrational changes are happening in America and elsewhere.  Some of the most majestic cathedrals in Great Britain are virtually empty and are now mostly visited as tourist attractions.  This is also true in Europe.

Now there are marijuana shops on every corner in those states that have legalized it.  Men are seeking an alternative to healing and reality of The Word.

There are three dark entities in our midst.  The first is called Baal, the possessor.

It is written by THE SPIRIT in Judges chapter 2:

11 Then the children of Israel did evil in the sight of the LORD, and served the Baals;

12 and they forsook the LORD God of their fathers, who had brought them out of the land of Egypt; and they followed other gods from among the gods of the people who were all around them, and they bowed down to them; and they provoked the LORD to anger.

13 They forsook the LORD and served Baal and the Astarte.

14 And the anger of the LORD was hot against Israel. So He delivered them into the hands of plunderers who despoiled them; and He sold them into the hands of their enemies all around, so that they could no longer stand before their enemies. 15 Wherever they went out, the hand of the LORD was against them for calamity, as the LORD had said, and as the LORD had sworn to them. And they were greatly distressed.

The demon Baal turns a nation into a pagan nation.  When the people empty themselves of GOD and His Word, Baal comes in.  Jesus warned us that the house will not stay empty!

The demon Baal has driven GOD’S influence out of the public square, the marketplace, and the legal system.  When there is one GOD, there is one Truth.  Now, the legal system is based on narratives and money.  Lawfare virtually did not exist 60 years ago.

In paganism, there are many gods so there are many so-called truths.  Now, if a boy says he is a girl, that becomes his truth even though his DNA remains with an XY chromosome in every cell.

The sign of Baal was and is a molten bronze bull just like the one on Wall Street in New York City.  Wall Street is the epitome of lies and deception with the intent of extracting wealth from the citizenry.  They manipulate markets to benefit them at the expense of small investors.  It is well known that gold and silver prices are manipulated on a daily basis.

After Baal comes the enchantress, also known as Astarte (aka Ishtar. Aphrodite).  She is the goddess of unbridled sexuality.  She was a prostitute, a harlot goddess who sexualized pagan culture.  This is happening in America now.  A prostitute takes sexuality out of marriage and brings it into the culture.  She weakens marriage, the weakening of family, resulting in the breaking of marriage in America.  She also seduces the culture by promoting pornography.  Can you think of TV shows promoting such unrighteousness?

She is also the goddess of the occult or casting spells.  She is also linked to drugs and intoxication.  In the pandemic, bars were deemed essential, yet churches were not.

The third demon of the dark trinity is called the destroyer (aka Molech).  This demon causes parents to offer up their own children as sacrifices.  Children would be abused, enslaved, and offered up as sacrifices.

Moses recorded by THE SPIRIT in Leviticus chapter 18:

19 ‘Also you shall not approach a woman to uncover her nakedness as long as she is in her customary impurity.

20 Moreover you shall not lie carnally with your neighbor’s wife, to defile yourself with her.

21 And you shall not let any of your descendants pass through the fire to Molech, nor shall you profane the name of your God: I am the LORD.

22 You shall not lie with a male as with a woman. It is an abomination.

23 Nor shall you mate with any animal, to defile yourself with it. Nor shall any woman stand before an animal to mate with it. It is perversion.

24 Do not defile yourselves with any of these things; for by all these the nations are defiled, which I am casting out before you.

The nations have been warned against these demons.  REPENT!

Pursuing Holiness- Part 85

August 1st, 2024

As we walk in Holiness, we will expose the false gods who are transforming the culture!

Moses recorded by THE SPIRIT in Deuteronomy chapter 29:

1 These are the Words of the Covenant which the LORD commanded Moses to make with the children of Israel in the land of Moab, besides the Covenant which He made with them in Horeb.

2 Now Moses called all Israel and said to them:

“You have seen all that the LORD did before your eyes in the land of Egypt, to Pharaoh and to all his servants and to all his land-

3 the great trials which your eyes have seen, the signs, and those great wonders.

4 Yet the LORD has not given you a heart to perceive and eyes to see and ears to hear, to this very day.

5 And I have led you forty years in the wilderness. Your clothes have not worn out on you, and your sandals have not worn out on your feet.

6 You have not eaten bread, nor have you drunk wine or similar drink, that you may know that I am the LORD your God.

7 And when you came to this place, Sihon king of Heshbon and Og king of Bashan came out against us to battle, and we conquered them.

8 We took their land and gave it as an inheritance to the Reubenites, to the Gadites, and to half the tribe of Manasseh.

9 Therefore keep the Words of this Covenant, and do them, that you may prosper in all that you do.

FATHER gave the children of Israel simple and straightforward instructions, yet we find that they ultimately would not follow this Covenant of blessing.

It is written by THE SPIRIT in 2nd Kings chapter 17:

13 Yet the LORD testified against Israel and against Judah, by all of His prophets, every seer, saying, “Turn from your evil ways (Repent), and keep My commandments and My statutes, according to all the law which I commanded your fathers, and which I sent to you by My servants the prophets.”

FATHER sends prophets to confront the people of their wicked ways and to repent.  This was the message of John the Baptist: REPENT!

14 Nevertheless they would not hear, but stiffened their necks, like the necks of their fathers, who did not believe in the LORD their God.

15 And they rejected His statutes and His covenant that He had made with their fathers, and His testimonies which He had testified against them; they followed idols (false gods), became idolaters, and went after the nations who were all around them, concerning whom the LORD had charged them that they should not do like them.

16 So they left all the commandments of the LORD their God, made for themselves a molded image and two calves, made a wooden image and worshiped all the host of heaven, and served Baal.

17 And they caused their sons and daughters to pass through the fire, practiced witchcraft and soothsaying, and sold themselves to do evil in the sight of the LORD, to provoke Him to anger.

This same story continues today.  Wall Street worships idols of gold.  The music industry promotes idol worship.

More details are given to us in Psalm 106:

35 But they mingled themselves with their enemies and learned to copy their works of darkness.

36 They began to serve their gods and bow before their idols. All of this led them away from you and brought about their downfall.

37 They even sacrificed their little children to the demon spirits,

38-39  shedding the innocent blood of their sons and daughters. These dark practices greatly defiled the land and their own souls, through the murder and bloodshed of their own babies! Their sins made them spiritual adulterers before you.

40 This is why YOU were furious. As YOUR anger burned hot against them, YOU couldn’t even stand to look at YOUR very own people any longer!

Abortion is the sacrifice of babies and is generally the result of one’s willingness to have sexual pleasure to satisfy the flesh.  A fetus in the womb is a baby.  It has separate and unique DNA.

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in 1st Corinthians chapter 10:

18 Consider the people of Israel when they fell into idolatry. When they ate the sacrifices offered to the gods, weren’t they becoming communal participants in what was sacrificed?

19 Now, am I saying that idols and the sacrifices offered to them have any value? 20 Absolutely not! However, I am implying that when an unbeliever offers a sacrifice to an idol, it is not offered to the true God but to a demon. I don’t want you to be participants with demons!

21 You can’t drink from the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons. You can’t feast at the table of the Lord and feast at the table of demons.

22 Who would ever want to arouse the Lord’s jealousy? Is that something you think you’re strong enough to endure?

We must be vigilant that we don’t allow ourselves to become desensitized to the culture around us.  Many are participating in idol worship even though they may be unaware of the darkness behind their focus and actions.  We must not allow ourselves to be pressured into following the crowd.  Wide is the path that leads to destruction.  We must be sensitive to the discerning of spirits and identify what and who is behind such worship!

Pursuing Holiness- Part 84

July 31st, 2024

As we walk in Holiness, we will expose the spiritual wickedness behind the words and actions of men!

We must not allow ourselves to become desensitized.

Desensitized means: to make a sensitized or hypersensitive individual insensitive or nonreactive to a sensitizing agent; : to make emotionally insensitive or callous

specifically : to extinguish an emotional response (as of fear, anxiety, or guilt) to stimuli that formerly induced it.  In other words, men no longer resist sinfulness and lawlessness once it becomes socially acceptable by the masses.

The liberal media slowly introduces greater levels of sin and unrighteousness in television, music, etc. so that what was once totally unacceptable becomes acceptable to the majority.  Who would have thought that kids would be encouraged to pursue transgenderism?  Who would have thought homosexuality would be endorsed by The White House and other public institutions?  Fifty years ago, who would have thought that most family TV shows would portray a broken, dysfunctional family as the norm?  The people who promote such perversity are being led by spiritual wickedness in high places whether they know it or not.

Whatever you most serve is your idol unless you serve THE LORD GOD ALMIGHTY.  These people serve demonic idols.

You need to know what spirit who is promoting what you are serving.

Jesus spoke in Matthew chapter 24:

3 Now as He sat on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to Him privately, saying, “Tell us, when will these things be? And what will be the sign of Your coming, and of the end of the age?

4 And Jesus answered and said to them: “Take heed that no one deceives you.

5 For many will come in My Name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will deceive many.

6 And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not troubled; for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.

7 For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be famines, pestilences, and earthquakes in various places.

8 All these are the beginning of sorrows.

What happens in the spiritual world ultimately manifests in the physical world.  We must not disregard this Truth.

The Beloved Disciple recorded what he saw and heard while in THE SPIRIT in Revelation chapter 12:

7 And war broke out in heaven: Michael and his angels fought with the dragon; and the dragon and his angels fought,

8 but they did not prevail, nor was a place found for them in heaven any longer.

9 So the great dragon was cast out, that serpent of old, called the Devil and Satan, who deceives the whole world; he was cast to the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.

10 Then I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, “Now salvation, and strength, and the Kingdom of our God, and the power of His Christ have come, for the accuser of our brethren, who accused them before our God day and night, has been cast down.

11 And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, and they did not love their lives to the death.

12 Therefore rejoice, O heavens, and you who dwell in them! Woe to the inhabitants of the earth and the sea! For the devil has come down to you, having great wrath, because he knows that he has a short time.”

Why has The Holy Spirit moved upon me to write this extended series on walking in Holiness?  It is to prepare us for what lies ahead!

My wife and I have begun taking Communion every morning before breakfast.  We are to keep the Blood of The Lamb in constant remembrance.  We are to acknowledge and receive the attributes of His Body as well.  It is vital that we be fully prepared for whatever comes forth in the following months.  Selah!

Jonathan Cahn is detailing what FATHER has shown him in the following video.  I suggest you pay close attention to the manifestations of the dragon he reveals in this video. 

Pursuing Holiness- Part 83

July 30th, 2024

As we walk in Holiness, we will surely encounter the shaking of the world’s kingdoms without fear!

The adversary has major demons who are assigned to counterfeit the coming Kingdom of God by providing alternatives to The Truth.  In the past, they have been hidden but are now becoming brazen as they sense that we are in the final days of the last days.  They will be dealt with by The Holy Fire.

Jesus spoke in Matthew chapter 24:

24 For false christs and false prophets will rise and show great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect.

Deception is increasing at a dramatic pace.  The principality of the air has taken over the airwaves and unrighteous narratives and falsehoods are being propagated by television, social media, and the Internet.  It is only by Godly discernment that the elect can withstand the attempts to takeover the mindset by the adversary.  The media is actively attempting to promote division among all societies on the earth.

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Ephesians chapter 6:

10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might.

11 Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.

12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.

This refers to the 2nd heaven, not the 3rd Heaven where FATHER presides.  HE does not allow any adversaries to inhabit the 3rd Heaven.  Lucifer fell once sin was found in him, never to return.

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Hebrews 12:

26 The earth was rocked at the sound of His Voice from the mountain, but now He has promised, “Once and for all I will not only shake the systems of the world, but also the unseen powers in the heavenly realm!

27 Now this phrase “once and for all” clearly indicates the final removal of things that are shaking, that is, the old order, so only what is unshakable will remain.

28 Since we are receiving our rights to an unshakable Kingdom we should be extremely thankful and offer God the purest worship that delights His Heart as we lay down our lives in absolute surrender, filled with awe.

29 For our God is a Holy, devouring fire!

How can we offer the purest worship?  It can only be accomplished by those walking in Holiness.  Those walking in this level of Holiness will not be moved when the shaking has fully arrived, knowing that this shaking is necessary before the full unshakable Kingdom is revealed.  We will not be afraid for we have entered into His rest!

Luke recorded by The Holy Spirit in Luke chapter 3:

15 Now as the people were in expectation, and all reasoned in their hearts about John, whether he was the Christ or not,

16 John answered, saying to all, “I indeed baptize you with water; but One mightier than I is coming, whose sandal strap I am not worthy to loose. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire.

17 His winnowing fan is in His hand, and He will thoroughly clean out His threshing floor, and gather the wheat into His barn; but the chaff He will burn with unquenchable fire.

Those of us who are walking in Holiness, welcome the Holy, devouring, unquenchable fire!
