Paul wrote in Titus chapter 1 by THE SPIRIT:

15 To the pure all things are pure, but to those who are defiled and unbelieving nothing is pure; but even their mind and conscience are defiled. 16 They profess to know God, but in works they deny Him, being abominable, disobedient, and disqualified for every good work.

We who are classified as “pure” believe and embrace all of FATHER’S Word rather than the flattering words of those who are defiled.  It is so important to be well-versed in The Word and have an understanding of FATHER’S Divine Intent.  When that is the case, we cannot be swayed from the purity of The Word.  If we have a pure heart, our thoughts will be pure.

Those who are impure will be known by their works even though they will attempt to take our focus away by rationalizing why their “word” did not come to pass.
Jesus spoke in Matthew chapter 5:

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

This Truth ought to be an incentive for any believer to purify the heart.  Jesus accepted the responsibility to minister to the wife (church) when Paul wrote by THE SPIRIT in Ephesians chapter 5:

25 Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself for her, 

26 that He might sanctify and cleanse her with the washing of water by the word, 

27 that He might present her to Himself a glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing, but that she should be holy and without blemish.

FATHER’S Word will cleanse us of all unrighteousness as we read, study, and ponder it in our lives.  The Word itself is a purifier and will remove all spots and wrinkles.  None of us start our walk spotless but we rely on FATHER’S Word to bring forth the purity each of us desires.

Paul wrote by THE SPIRIT in Romans chapter 8:

18 For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us. 19 For the earnest expectation of the creation eagerly waits for the revealing of the sons of God. 

Believers will go through sufferings of this present time and we must acknowledge this reality in our own lives.  Some people run away from suffering and believe it or not, some people run toward suffering in some manner.  We should simply walk the path FATHER has placed us on and deal with those sufferings as they arise.

Our trust and hope is in the glory yet to be revealed by FATHER and we should be at peace however and whenever this occurs.  Paul reveals to us The Comforter is here for our individual benefit as he wrote in:

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. 

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.
We will all go through periods of weakness, but we are not alone.  

The Holy Spirit is here to minister to each of us on an individual and unique basis.  There is no broad formula to deal with my weakness thus I need The Holy Spirit inside me to lead, direct, and comfort me as I deal with life’s issues.  As I pray in THE SPIRIT, my prayers are received from FATHER with the pureness of THE SPIRIT.  My ego is not involved so I am not constrained in any manner.

Just as The Holy Spirit hovered Lovingly over the earth to bring forth FATHER’S Divine Intent, let The Holy Spirit “hover” over each of us to do the same.  What is the result?

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. 

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.

Amen!

This article provides perspective on what it is like when the revelation of Love is missing:

The Beloved Disciple wrote by THE SPIRIT in John chapter 1:

1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 

2 He was in the beginning with God. 

3 All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made. 

4 In Him was life, and the life was the light of men. 

5 And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it.

Everything FATHER does and says promotes life.  Without light how could we see HIS plan?  Without Love how could we comprehend the choice to live in light or darkness?  Without the witness of creation, how would we know to seek a higher power?

John was the greatest of prophets for he was chosen to bear witness of the Light Who is Our Lord Jesus Christ.  All legal requirements were met for him to fulfill his calling yet the legal experts of the day could not comprehend such a calling.  Darkness prevailed in their lives thus FATHER found it necessary to open the eyes of John by showing him the light.

By its very nature darkness cannot comprehend light for when light comes it dissipates the dark quickly and effectively.  We must allow the Word to cleanse us on a daily basis so that darkness will not enter in.  Compromise must not be allowed to take root for it will choke out the newly planted Word already in us.

We cannot minister the revelation of Christ to those in the darkness by giving our opinion established by logical means.  We must speak the WORD where the power lies.  As people respond to the light, their eyes will open and then they will exclaim how “self-evident” the Truth is.  They will toss out evolution as the means for the current animal and plant kingdoms to come forth in their current state.  The will begin to see the fingerprints of the Creator’s intelligent design found in all areas of life.  It is only a question of “when” not “if”.

As you and I further comprehend the Spiritual Kingdom we will be given appropriate revelation to share with others.  I am fully convinced that this will occur suddenly around the world among those who have been chosen in a manner similar to John the Baptist.  The intensity of our current trials is an indication to me of the intensity of the ministry we are called to be a part of in the coming age.

You will see a sudden lack of interest in the trappings of this world.  The emptiness of the current idol worship will be exposed for what it is- a facade.  Light will shine brightly on all aspects of life and the chaff will be removed.  Love will keep the anger and rage at bay for people will repent of their past actions and words.  The whole world will finally begin to comprehend the Light of the world.

By THE SPIRIT it is written in Psalm 119:

Truth cannot be compromised and remain the Truth.  Any deviation of the Truth brings forth unrighteousness and division.  This is why we need to know the Truth and It will set us free from the bondage of sin.  Wrapped in Truth is motivation of the particular Truth we convey to others.  This protects us from the “legalistic” use of Truth as we are meant to understand the fullness of Truth.

Jesus spoke Truth motivated by Love.  Knowing this we can correctly discern whether someone is fully disclosing the Truth from FATHER or withholding a portion to support their own agenda.  If a Word is given to us, we will have the peace to receive and embrace it or keep it at arm’s length until FATHER confirms it through another source.

We are warned against compromising the Truth we have been given.  As we keep the Truth in our hearts our ways become established because we are keeping HIS Law of Love where the source of Truth is found.

Do you support Truth or allow compromise to come forth in your midst?  There are times when we must clarify our stand so that the standard of Truth prevails in our circle of influence.  When we declare HIS Works in our life, let those declarations be accurate and uncompromising so they will be a true blessing to all.  Let no compromise be found among us.

We will be most of this week for a little time off.

In Luke it was recorded by THE SPIRIT in chapter 3:

21 When all the people were baptized, it came to pass that Jesus also was baptized; and while He prayed, the heaven was opened.

22 And the Holy Spirit descended in bodily form like a dove upon Him, and a voice came from heaven which said, “You are My beloved Son; in You I am well pleased.”

Jesus’ time of preparation was over and now He was ready to begin His ministry.  As Jesus prayed, the Heaven was opened thus we should pray to HIM as well.  Why Pray?  It is good for us to acknowledge our dependence on FATHER for our very life, our health, our daily bread, and our general welfare.  We should do so every day as THE HOLY SPIRIT leads us. We must remind ourselves that our life and happiness are a gift from FATHER WHO is merciful.  Though HE does not owe us anything, HE gives us everything. We should try to be the same way towards our fellow-men and grant favors freely. We should express our gratitude to FATHER not merely in words, but  by obeying His commands and living our daily life the way FATHER wants us to do, especially as it is all for our own good.  Jesus provides us with His perfect example.

Knowing that FATHER is good and that nothing is impossible for Him to do, we can go about our life with a deep sense of confidence and security. Even in times of distress we will not despair, knowing that in some way whatever happens to us is for our good for it may be a blessing in disguise. We do not like to suffer, so we pray to FATHER to help us out of our distress and grant us the good that is not hidden or disguised.

When we operate in our gifts, we should expect the Holy Spirit to actively operate on our behalf, move upon us, and move upon the situation at hand.  The Scripture was written by THE SPIRT and we should know that FATHER’S SPIRIT will provide the relevance to each passage applicable to our situation.  The Holy Spirit is the Perfect Interpreter of The Word.  Men would have you only focus on the facet they were given yet we must not limit ourselves to their narrow view.  FATHER’S Ability to impart HIS applicable Word is beyond man’s understanding.

FATHER was well pleased with Jesus before He began His public ministry.  This is another example of FATHER’S unconditional Love for us.  Some think they must jump through hoops to gain FATHER’S acceptance yet it was not required of Jesus, HIS first begotten Son.  Let us rest in FATHER’S Acceptance as well.

In John’s recording of the event in chapter 1:

32 And John bore witness, saying, “I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove, and He remained upon Him.

33 I did not know Him, but He who sent me to baptize with water said to me, ‘Upon whom you see the Spirit descending, and remaining on Him, this is He who baptizes with the Holy Spirit.’

34 And I have seen and testified that this is the Son of God.”

We must not disregard the importance of The Most Holy Spirit in our everyday lives.  Jesus did not begin His public ministry without The Holy Spirit and thus we should be sensitive to The Holy Spirit as well.    In Acts chapter 1 Jesus spoke:

5 “for John truly baptized with water, but you shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit not many days from now.”

Our daily walk must not omit our awareness of The Holy Spirit in operation.  Jesus further revealed:

8 “But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.”

Receiving The Holy Spirit is associated with receiving power from Heaven.  The power is there but if we don’t access that power, It will be dormant in our lives.  Let us esteem the ministry of The Holy Spirit and be the conduit for THE SPIRIT to operate.

We are to stay far from the door of the temptress.  The further away from a magnet, the less it can draw you to it and that is the same for temptation.  

Sin draws life out of us whereas Love promotes life.  The effects may not be immediate yet over the long run you can see a difference among people.  The only question is when that day of reconciliation occurs.  It is your choice which doors you seek to open.

Life is about relationships, not places or “things”.  Love has a source and an object.  You are either a source or the recipient.  This should be considered today as you encounter others.

For FATHER so Loved you and me HE sent HIS first begotten Son to manifest HIS Word of Love so that we could have eternal life.

Seals!
