The dark trinity

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

Thursday, 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

Wednesday, 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.

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!

As we walk in Holiness, we will no longer be moved by circumstances or the storms of life!

Spending time in GOD’S Presence develops complete trust IN HIM.

David recorded by THE SPIRIT in Psalm chapter 37:

4 Delight yourself also in the LORD, And HE shall give you the desires of your heart.

5 Commit your way to the LORD, Trust also in Him, And He shall bring it to pass.

6 He shall bring forth your righteousness as the light, And your justice as the noonday.

Each of us has a specific and unique calling that will be challenged by the adversary and his minions.  When we fully trust in FATHER’S plan for us, we are no longer frightened or intimidated by anything that confronts us to take us off course.

Matthew faithfully recorded by The Holy Spirit in Matthew chapter 8:

18 And when Jesus saw great multitudes about Him, He gave a command to depart to the other side.

FATHER instructed Jesus to go to the other side of the lake.  As we know, Jesus would heal two demon-possessed men in the country of the Gergesenes.  He would set them free of demons.

19 Then a certain scribe came and said to Him, “Teacher, I will follow You wherever You go.”

20 And Jesus said to him, “Foxes have holes and birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay His head.”

21 Then another of His disciples said to Him, “Lord, let me first go and bury my father.”

22 But Jesus said to him, “Follow Me, and let the dead bury their own dead.”

23 Now when He got into a boat, His disciples followed Him.

24 And suddenly a great tempest arose on the sea, so that the boat was covered with the waves. But He was asleep.

How many believers would be able to sleep peacefully in a boat where the storm was causing significant waves to swamp the boat and sink it?  Some of the disciples were commercial fishermen and knew the potential of the boat sinking.

25 Then His disciples came to Him and awoke Him, saying, “Lord, save us! We are perishing!”

26 But He said to them, “Why are you fearful, O you of little faith?” Then He arose and rebuked the winds and the sea, and there was a great calm.

27 So the men marveled, saying, “Who can this be, that even the winds and the sea obey Him?”

Jesus knew His mission and that it would be fulfilled despite the storm.  He was not moved by this challenge to His instructions from Above.

As we walk in a higher state of being, external circumstances will no longer dictate our internal state.  Emotional resilience is not about merely enduring hardships, it is about thriving in spite of them!  All of us have and will deal with such hardships.  The adversary will challenge our emotional state to see where our level of trusting in FATHER is at.

Successfully dealing with adversity will cause us to become stronger and wiser.  When we are no longer overwhelmed by our emotions, our higher level of trust in FATHER is realized.  Instead of allowing fear or anger to dictate our responses, we cultivate a calm and composed demeanor just as Jesus did in the above passage.

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

13 We all experience times of testing, which is normal for every human being. But God will be faithful to you. He will screen and filter the severity, nature, and timing of every test or trial you face so that you can bear it. And each test is an opportunity to trust HIM more, for along with every trial God has provided for you a way of escape that will bring you out of it victoriously.

We will develop a mindset to embrace life’s challenges without fear or reluctance but instead as opportunities for growth.  We will develop emotional resilience and be transformed by renewing our mind to trust FATHER in all circumstances.  This calmness will inspire those around us as a testimony to trusting FATHER in all adversity.

As we walk in Holiness, we will increase in energy and prosperity in all areas needed by our specific callings!

Spending time in GOD’S Presence renews you.  There is an “if, then” set of conditions for our success in life according to GOD’S Word once we become believers.  As I have written previously, FATHER provides us with a blueprint to follow and it is exact in nature.

Do you want your energy to be increased?

Isaiah recorded by THE SPIRIT in Isaiah chapter 40:

31 But those who wait on the LORD Shall renew their strength; They shall mount up with wings like eagles, They shall run and not be weary, They shall walk and not faint.

Waiting on THE LORD means to be in HIS Presence.  There is no degradation of energy in HIS Presence.  HE is the Source of all energy!  FATHER never gets weary.  Those who entwine their hearts with YAHWEH will experience Divine strength.

What are we to do with this renewal of energy?

Jesus spoke in John chapter 14:

12 “Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father. [13] And whatever you ask in My Name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.

14 If you ask anything in My Name, I will do it.

The blueprint:

John 15:4 NKJV

Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in Me.

You cannot be fruitful unless you are spending time in GOD’S Presence.  Can fruit grow and mature if separated from the vine?  As long as we remain in HIS Presence, we will mature and grow in fruitfulness.

The word abide means: to remain, abide in reference to place, to sojourn, tarry,

not to depart, to continue to be present, to be held, kept, continually in reference to time, to continue to be, not to perish, to last, endure; in reference to state or condition: to remain as one, not to become another or different.

David recorded by THE SPIRIT in Psalm chapter 37:

4 Delight yourself also in the LORD, And HE shall give you the desires of your heart.

5 Commit your way to the LORD, Trust also in Him, And He shall bring it to pass.

6 He shall bring forth your righteousness as the light, And your justice as the noonday.

How committed are you to pursuing Holiness and being in the Presence of GOD?

Do you want to change the track of history in your city, state, and/or your nation?  FATHER once again provides us with the blueprint for such a change to history.

It is written by THE SPIRIT in 2nd Chronicles chapter 7:

14 If My people who are called by My Name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My Face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from Heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land.

Who is FATHER talking to?  HIS people… you and me.  Who needs to repent again?  Once again, you and me.

FATHER is the One Who makes it happen, HE is the One Who heals the land.  We are simply the vessels HE uses to bring such changes to pass.  As we humble ourselves and pray, we open the door for FATHER to supernaturally initiate change in the physical.  You and I cannot make a miracle happen or create a blessing.  Only FATHER can.

The first part of the blessing is the giving of it as a promise by FATHER.  The second part is the active receiving of the blessing.  The Word of GOD promises many blessings.  However, we must actively pursue those blessings.  How?  We are to enter into the Presence of GOD.  We must be humble and walk in Holiness.  My first priority in the day is to seek GOD.  Is there anything more important?

When blessings come your way, don’t be reluctant to receive them!

Pursuing Holiness- Part 80

Saturday, July 27th, 2024

As we walk in Holiness, we will become humble and no longer exalt ourselves in any area of our life!

All sin is rooted in pride.

James wrote by The Holy Spirit in James chapter 4:

6 But He gives more grace. Therefore He says: “God resists the proud, But gives grace to the humble.”

7 Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you.

8 Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded.

9 Feel the pain of your sin, be sorrowful and weep! Let your joking around be turned into mourning and your joy into deep humiliation.

10 Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and He will lift you up.

In other Words:

But He gives us more and more grace [through the power of the Holy Spirit to defy sin and live an obedient life that reflects both our faith and our gratitude for our salvation]. Therefore, it says, “GOD IS OPPOSED TO THE PROUD and HAUGHTY, BUT [continually] GIVES [the gift of] GRACE TO THE HUMBLE [who turn away from self-righteousness].”

The soul seeks to exalt itself in pride.  By nature, it is self-centered and desires attention from others in whatever means necessary.  Sacrifice of self is not on the agenda of those who walk in pride.

The Beloved Disciple wrote by The Holy Spirit in 1st John chapter 2:

16 For all that the world can offer us—the gratification of our flesh, the allurement of the things of the world, and the obsession with status and importance—none of these things come from the Father but from the world.

Notice that what the world has to offer is temporary in nature.  Entertainers rise up in stature that feeds their pride and later lose their appeal.  Their stardom grows stale, and their followers move on to the next rising star.

We must understand the reality that FATHER hates pride!

Wisdom recorded in Proverbs chapter 6:

16 There are six evils God truly hates and a seventh that is an abomination to Him: 17 Putting others down while considering yourself superior (Pride), spreading lies and rumors, spilling the blood of the innocent,

18 plotting evil in your heart toward another, gloating over doing what’s plainly wrong,

19 spouting lies in false testimony, and stirring up strife between friends. These are entirely despicable to God!

If you are walking in pride, you cannot get close to FATHER.  HE will not allow pride to be in HIS Presence.  Consider why the fallen angel Lucifer was cast out of Heaven.

Isaiah recorded by THE SPIRIT in Isaiah chapter 14:

12 “How you are fallen from Heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! How you are cut down to the ground, You who weakened the nations!

13 For you have said in your heart: ‘I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God; I will also sit on the mount of the congregation On the farthest sides of the north;

14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds, I will be like the Most High.’

15 Yet you shall be brought down to Sheol, To the lowest depths of the Pit.

His pride is what cast him out of Heaven, he was deceived in his own blindness to Truth.  Anyone who exalts himself walks in pride.  Beware!

What is acceptable before Our Heavenly Father?  Humility, humbleness.  It is vital to our maturity toward Holiness that we understand the importance of being humble in all areas.

Wisdom also wrote in Proverbs chapter 22:

4 By humility and the Fear of the LORD Are riches and honor and life.

This Truth provides us with the key to successful living. 

Jesus spoke concerning the importance of being humble in Luke chapter 14:

7 So Jesus told a parable to those who were invited, when He noted how they chose the best places, saying to them:

8 “When you are invited by anyone to a wedding feast, do not sit down in the best place, lest one more honorable than you be invited by him;

9 and he who invited you and him come and say to you, ‘Give place to this man,’ and then you begin with shame to take the lowest place.

10 But when you are invited, go and sit down in the lowest place, so that when he who invited you comes he may say to you, ‘Friend, go up higher.’ Then you will have glory in the presence of those who sit at the table with you.

11 For whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted.”

Pursuing Holiness- Part 79

As we walk in Holiness, our deepest desire will be to seek HIM early!

FATHER has provided each of us with the blueprint to walk in HIS Glory along with its benefits.  To walk out HIS blueprint, we must seek the Divine at the center of our pursuits, asking for direction each morning.

It is recorded by THE SPIRIT in Lamentations chapter 3:

21 This I recall to my mind, Therefore I have hope.

22 Through the LORD’s mercies we are not consumed, Because His compassions fail not.

23 They are new every morning; Great is Your faithfulness.

24 “The LORD is my portion,” says my soul, “Therefore I hope in Him!”

25 The LORD is good to those who wait for Him, To the soul who seeks Him.

26 It is good that one should hope and wait quietly For the salvation of the LORD.

David wrote by THE SPIRIT in Psalm chapter 63:

1 O God, You are my God; Early will I seek You; My soul thirsts for You; My flesh longs for You In a dry and thirsty land Where there is no water.

2 So I have looked for You in the sanctuary, To see Your power and Your glory.

And it is recorded by THE SPIRIT in Isaiah chapter 26:

9 With my soul I have desired You in the night, Yes, by my spirit within me I will seek You early; For when Your judgments are in the earth, The inhabitants of the world will learn righteousness.

We can’t go back in history and start over, but we can start now and make a new ending.  Both David and Isaiah understood the need to seek FATHER early each day.

Paul could not go back in history and reverse his past.  However, he understood the reality of starting anew as he wrote by The Holy Spirit in Philippians chapter 4:

11 Not that I speak in regard to need, for I have learned in whatever state I am, to be content:

12 I know how to be abased, and I know how to abound. Everywhere and in all things I have learned both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need.

13 I can do all things through Christ Who strengthens me.

Let us be open to transformation and embrace any path FATHER places us on, no matter what our age or past failures.  We are to submit to The Word of THE LORD and by guided by The Holy Spirit in all things.  Our journey is not guided by what we know but is determined by the best way conveyed to us by FATHER.  We have the Supreme Guide and HIS Heavenly guidance awaits us as we seek HIM early each day.

Following FATHER’S directions will save us from unnecessary conflicts and hasty choices that result in needless failures.  Sometimes, doing nothing and simply waiting for the LORD’S instructions will save us from heartache and regret.

Each situation we encounter is unique so we must not rely on past successes.  This is why should seek FATHER’S guidance.

David was a man after GOD’S Own Heart.  He was an experienced warrior with past victories.  However, he assumed nothing.

It is written by THE SPIRIT in 1st Samuel chapter 23:

1 Then they told David, saying, “Look, the Philistines are fighting against Keilah, and they are robbing the threshing floors.”

2 Therefore David inquired of the LORD, saying, “Shall I go and attack these Philistines?” And the LORD said to David, “Go and attack the Philistines, and save Keilah.”

3 But David’s men said to him, “Look, we are afraid here in Judah. How much more then if we go to Keilah against the armies of the Philistines?”

4 Then David inquired of the LORD once again. And the LORD answered him and said, “Arise, go down to Keilah. For I will deliver the Philistines into your hand.” 5 And David and his men went to Keilah and fought with the Philistines, struck them with a mighty blow, and took away their livestock. So David saved the inhabitants of Keilah.

As we walk in Holiness, we will inquire of THE LORD and HE will answer us.  If we are entering into spiritual warfare, HE will lead us to victory over the enemy.  However, assume nothing concerning past victories and seek HIS guidance daily.

Pursuing Holiness- Part 78

Thursday, July 25th, 2024

As we walk in Holiness, what should we expect from FATHER?

FATHER has provided each of us with the blueprint to walk in HIS Glory along with its benefits.  To walk out HIS blueprint, we must seek the Divine at the center of our pursuits, asking for direction each morning.

It is recorded by THE SPIRIT in Jeremiah chapter 29:

11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the LORD, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.

12 Then you will call upon Me and go and pray to Me, and I will listen to you.

13 And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart.

Our Heavenly Father wants to lead, guide, and bless us in all that we do.  We can only receive HIS benefits by maintaining an intimate relationship with HIM.  If we distance ourselves from HIM, He is unable to provide us with HIS Divine Intent.

Jesus revealed FATHER’S Heart in Matthew chapter 7:

7 “Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.

8 For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened.

9 Or what man is there among you who, if his son asks for bread, will give him a stone?

10 Or if he asks for a fish, will he give him a serpent?

11 If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will Your Father Who is in Heaven give good things to those who ask Him!

It can be tempting to make our own plans hoping for Divine approval.  This is a soulish method of living.  Why not get HIS Divine Plan and then walk it out, assuring success!

Would Noah have been successful in building the ark without GOD’S instructions?  Seek GOD’S guidance and if we perceive the peace of The Holy Spirit, then proceed.  If there is hesitation, it perhaps is a sign to pause and wait for further instructions and clarity.

Intimacy results from consistency in spending time with HIM.  We begin to understand HIS Nature, HIS Love, and HIS desires for us.  This bonding generates Trust as we understand HIS Heart.

Wisdom instructs us in Proverbs chapter 3:

5 Trust in the LORD with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; 6 In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths.

In other Words, Trust in the Lord completely, rely on Him to guide you, and He will lead you in every decision you make. Become intimate with Him in whatever you do, and He will lead you wherever you go.

An excellent example of developing such intimacy is Abraham’s relationship with FATHER.

Moses recorded by THE SPIRIT in Genesis chapter 12:

1 Now the LORD had said to Abram: “Get out of your country, From your family And from your father’s house, To a land that I will show you.

2 I will make you a great nation; I will bless you And make your name great; And you shall be a blessing.

3 I will bless those who bless you, And I will curse him who curses you; And in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.”

4 So Abram departed as the LORD had spoken to him, and Lot went with him. And Abram was seventy-five years old when he departed from Haran.

FATHER spoke five “I will’s” to Abraham who was seventy-five years old.  Don’t worry about your age when FATHER speaks to you… HE Will…

Pursuing Holiness- Part 77

Wednesday, July 24th, 2024

As we walk in Holiness, we will assign the highest priority to hearing and responding to FATHER on a daily basis!

FATHER has provided each of us with the blueprint to walk in HIS Glory.  In order to walk out HIS blueprint, we must seek the Divine at the center of our pursuits, asking for direction each morning.

Jesus instructed us in Matthew chapter 6:

31 “Therefore do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’

32 For after all these things the Gentiles seek. For your Heavenly Father knows that you need all these things.

33 But seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.

34 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.

As we walk in Holiness, we will seek HIM first daily.  Some people may claim that they are not an early morning person but that can change.  Prior to January of 1990, I was a “7 AM” kind of guy.  FATHER told me to start praying one hour before I went to work.  My response, “If you want me to go that, you will need to wake me up at 5 AM.”  HE did… every morning from that point on.  You can change too.

When you seek HIM early, you will be rewarded with HIS Wisdom.

Wisdom spoke in Proverbs chapter 3:

1 My child, if you truly want a long and satisfying life, never forget the things that I’ve taught you. Follow closely every Truth that I’ve given you. Then you will have a full, rewarding life.

3 Hold on to loyal Love and don’t let go, and be faithful to all that you’ve been taught. Let your life be shaped by integrity, with Truth written upon your heart.

4 That’s how you will find favor and understanding with both God and men—you will gain the reputation of living life well.

5 Trust in the Lord completely, and do not rely on your own opinions. With all your heart rely on him to guide you, and he will lead you in every decision you make.

6 Become intimate with HIM in whatever you do, and HE will lead you wherever you go.

7 Don’t think for a moment that you know it all, for Wisdom comes when you adore Him with undivided devotion and avoid everything that’s wrong.

8 Then you will find the healing refreshment your body and spirit long for.

9 Glorify God with all your wealth, honoring Him with your firstfruits, with every increase that comes to you.

10 Then every dimension of your life will overflow with blessings from an uncontainable source of inner joy!

When you seek HIM early and daily, you will develop an intimate relationship with HIM.  You will realize that your own opinions are worthless without HIS Wisdom and understanding guiding you in all aspects of your life.

Jesus further instructed us in Matthew chapter 6:

9 In this manner, therefore, pray:

Our Father in Heaven, Hallowed be Your Name.

10 Your Kingdom come. Your will be done On earth as it is in Heaven.

11 Give us this day our daily bread (Your Word).

12 And forgive us our debts, As we forgive our debtors.

13 And do not lead us into temptation, But deliver us from the evil one. For Yours is the Kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.

We are to receive HIS Word each morning so that we can bring forth HIS Kingdom, first in our hearts, and then in the fruitfulness we produce.

What is YOUR purpose for me today, Lord?  What path am I to take today?  Our daily walk requires us to hear instructions at the beginning of the day.  By placing our trust in HIS Divine Wisdom, HE will bring forth the appropriate fruit each day and we will be a blessing to those we encounter.
