Pursuing Holiness- Part 63

As we walk in Holiness, we will shine like bright lights in the midst of a brutal and perverse culture!

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Philippians chapter 2:

12 My Beloved ones, just like you’ve always listened to everything I’ve taught you in the past, I’m asking you now to keep following my instructions as though I were right there with you. Now you must continue to make this new life fully manifested as you live in the Holy awe of God—which brings you trembling into His Presence.

13 God will continually revitalize you, implanting within you the passion to do what pleases Him.

14 Live a cheerful life, without complaining or division among yourselves.

15 For then you will be seen as innocent, faultless, and pure Children of God, even though you live in the midst of a brutal and perverse culture. For you will appear among them as shining lights in the universe,

16 holding out the Words of Eternal Life. I haven’t labored among you for nothing, for your lives are the fruit of my ministry and will be my glorious boast at the unveiling of Christ!

God is working in us, giving us the desire and the power to do what pleases Him.  As we walk in Holiness, our lights will shine brighter and brighter overcoming and overtaking the darkness in the world.

The Beloved Disciple wrote what he saw and heard by The Holy Spirit in Revelation chapter 21:

5 And the One sitting on the Throne said, “Look, I am making everything new!” And then He said to me, “Write this down, for what I tell you is Trustworthy and True.”

6 And He also said, “It is finished! I am the Alpha and the Omega-the Beginning and the End. To all who are thirsty I will give freely from the springs of the water of Life.

7 All who are victorious will inherit all these blessings, and I will be their God, and they will be My Children.

Jesus describes those who will see the second death:

8 “But cowards, unbelievers, the corrupt, murderers, the immoral, those who practice witchcraft, idol worshipers, and all liars-their fate is in the fiery lake of burning sulfur. This is the second death.”

Do you think those who have rejected Christ will skirt His judgment and wrath?  Jesus Whose Words are Trustworthy and True, says “No!”

9 Then one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls full of the last seven plagues came to me and said, “Come. I will show you the beautiful bride, the wife of the Lamb.”

10 He carried me away in the realm of the Spirit to the top of a great, high mountain. There he showed me the Holy city, Jerusalem, descending out of Heaven from God.

11 It was infused with the glory of God, and its radiance was like that of a very rare jewel, like a jasper, clear as crystal.

As we walk in Holiness, we will be infused with the glory of GOD and walk in HIS radiance.

Paul experienced His radiance when he encountered Jesus on the road to Damascus.  Luke recorded this event as he wrote by The Holy Spirit in Acts chapter 9:

3b Just outside the city, a brilliant Light flashing from Heaven suddenly exploded all around Saul.

4 Falling to the ground, he heard a booming Voice say to him, “Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting Me?”

5-7 The men accompanying Saul were stunned and speechless, for they heard a Heavenly Voice but could see no one. Saul replied, “Who are you, Lord?” “I am Jesus, the Victorious, the One you are persecuting. Now, get up and go into the city, where you will be told what you are to do.”

The Holiness from the Throne Room will manifest in brilliant lights as we encounter the corrupt and perverse worldly ones standing before us.  Their attempt to challenge Our Lord Jesus Christ will cause them to fall to the ground in a similar fashion to Saul.  The Spiritual will always reign supreme over the natural.

Our pursuit and passion will be to please Our Heavenly Father in all aspects of our life, without exception!

Pursuing Holiness- Part 62

As we walk in Holiness, we will by necessity speak warnings of the wrath of GOD to those who persist in disobedience and reject The Word of GOD!

Since 2006, we have been teaching on the Agape Love of Christ.  For eighteen years, FATHER’S Love has been the theme for these writings.  Jesus did not come to condemn the world but that through Him the world might be saved.  But what happens to those who after hearing His Word, reject It and choose the wide path that leads to death and destruction?  They will see and experience the Wrath of GOD.  Sadly, this reality that requires us to issue such a warning which will be unpopular with most people who hear it.

John the Baptist had such a ministry.

Because many in the world have rejected The Gospel, their judgment WILL COME.

Matthew wrote by The Holy Spirit in Matthew chapter 3:

1 In those days John the Baptist came preaching in the wilderness of Judea,

2 “Repent, for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand.”

3 For this is he who was spoken of by the prophet Isaiah when he said, “The voice of one crying in the wilderness: ‘Prepare the way of the Lord; make his paths straight.'”

4 Now John wore a garment of camel’s hair and a leather belt around his waist, and his food was locusts and wild honey.

5 Then Jerusalem and all Judea and all the region about the Jordan were going out to him,

6 and they were baptized by him in the river Jordan, confessing their sins.

How many in the fivefold ministry preach such a warning today?

7 But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming to his baptism, he said to them, “You brood of vipers! Who warned you to flee from the wrath to come?

John did not mince words!

8 Bear fruit in keeping with repentance.

9 And do not presume to say to yourselves, ‘We have Abraham as our father,’ for I tell you, God is able from these stones to raise up children for Abraham.

Do not presume or assume anything because of some opinion you developed as you listened to those who claimed to preach the unadulterated Word of God but rather taught their own doctrine of opinion.

10 Even now the axe is laid to the root of the trees. Every tree therefore that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.

This is just a sample of what FATHER’S wrath is all about.  HE will not tolerate sin and lawlessness in HIS midst.

11 “I baptize you with water for repentance, but He Who is coming after me is mightier than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire.

If you reject the ministry of The Holy Spirit and resist Holy Fire which is meant to purify you, you have a serious problem!

12 His winnowing fork is in His Hand, and He will clear His threshing floor and gather His wheat into the barn, but the chaff He will burn with unquenchable fire.”

Jesus will remove “the worthless” from the pure!

Jesus affirmed John the Baptist’s prophetic message as He spoke in Luke chapter 7:

18 The disciples of John reported all these things to him. And John,

19 calling two of his disciples to him, sent them to the Lord, saying, “Are You the One Who is to come, or shall we look for another?”

20 And when the men had come to Him, they said, “John the Baptist has sent us to You, saying, ‘Are You the One Who is to come, or shall we look for another?'”

21 In that hour He healed many people of diseases and plagues and evil spirits, and on many who were blind he bestowed sight.

22 And He answered them, “Go and tell John what you have seen and heard: the blind receive their sight, the lame walk, lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, the poor have Good News preached to them.

23 And blessed is the one who is not offended by Me.”

24 When John’s messengers had gone, Jesus began to speak to the crowds concerning John: “What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken by the wind?

25 What then did you go out to see? A man dressed in soft clothing? Behold, those who are dressed in splendid clothing and live in luxury are in kings’ courts.

26 What then did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I tell you, and more than a prophet.

27 This is he of whom it is written, “‘Behold, I send my messenger before your face, who will prepare your way before you.’

28 I tell you, among those born of women none is greater than John. Yet the one who is least in the Kingdom of God is greater than he.”

29 ( When all the people heard this, and the tax collectors too, they declared God just, having been baptized with the baptism of John,

30 but the Pharisees and the lawyers rejected the purpose of God for themselves, not having been baptized by him.)

We are at a time in history where the people must be warned of the consequences of the wrath of GOD.  Yes, I know that this is an unpopular Word and will cause a separation among many.  Jesus will find it necessary to separate the wheat from the chaff.  We do not want to be on the wrong side of this dividing time.  It is my desire that none should perish!

For those of us who walk in Holiness, we will worship and acknowledge FATHER as HIS judgments manifest on the earth!

Judgment of sin and lawlessness is coming to the earth.  Jesus will be seen as The Lion of Judah.  When this happens, it will be too late for many.

Because many in the world have rejected The Gospel, their judgment WILL COME.

The Beloved Disciple wrote what he saw and heard by The Holy Spirit in Revelation chapter 15:

1 Then I saw another sign in Heaven, great and marvelous: seven angels having the seven last plagues, for in them the wrath of God is complete.

2 And I saw something like a sea of glass mingled with fire, and those who have the victory over the beast, over his image and over his mark and over the number of his name, standing on the sea of glass, having harps of God.

3 They sing the song of Moses, the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying: “Great and marvelous are Your works, Lord God Almighty! Just and true are Your ways, O King of the saints!

4 Who shall not fear You, O Lord, and glorify Your Name? For You alone are Holy. For all nations shall come and worship before You, For Your judgments have been manifested.”

5 After these things I looked, and behold, the temple of the tabernacle of the testimony in heaven was opened.

6 And out of the temple came the seven angels having the seven plagues, clothed in pure bright linen, and having their chests girded with golden bands.

7 Then one of the four living creatures gave to the seven angels seven golden bowls full of the wrath of God Who lives forever and ever.

8 The temple was filled with smoke from the glory of God and from His power, and no one was able to enter the temple till the seven plagues of the seven angels were completed.

Are you ready to sing the song of The Lamb as a prelude to the Bowl Judgments?  Those who walk in Holiness will not be reluctant to participate in worshipping FATHER as HIS Judgments are manifested on earth.

And in Revelation chapter16:

5 And I heard the angel of the waters saying: “You are righteous, O Lord, The One Who is and Who was and Who is to be, Because You have judged these things.

6 For they have shed the blood of saints and prophets, And You have given them blood to drink. For it is their just due.”

7 And I heard another from the altar saying, “Even so, Lord God Almighty, true and righteous are Your judgments.“

Have you ever worshipped GOD for HIS wrath?

And in Revelation chapter 19:

1 After these things I heard a loud voice of a great multitude in Heaven, saying, “Alleluia! Salvation and glory and honor and power belong to the Lord our God!

2 For true and righteous are His judgments, because He has judged the great harlot who corrupted the earth with her fornication; and He has avenged on her the blood of His servants shed by her.”

3 Again they said, “Alleluia! Her smoke rises up forever and ever!”

4 And the twenty-four elders and the four living creatures fell down and worshiped God Who sat on the Throne, saying, “Amen! Alleluia!”

5 Then a voice came from the Throne, saying, “Praise our God, all you His servants and those who fear Him, both small and great!”

6 And I heard, as it were, the voice of a great multitude, as the sound of many waters and as the sound of mighty thunderings, saying, “Alleluia! For the Lord God Omnipotent reigns!

Are you ready to sing this song of judgment?  Does the perversity and lawlessness of what is going on in the world anger you like it angers THE LORD?  Are you a voice of righteousness that exposes sin and lawlessness as The Holy Spirit leads?  Jesus came as a Lamb but will return as a Lion.  FATHER’S Right Hand is the side of mercy, but HIS Left Hand is that of judgment.

It is not up to us to manifest vengeance.  That is only for FATHER to manifest.

Jude wrote by The Holy Spirit in Jude:

 5 But I want to remind you, though you once knew this, that the Lord, having saved the people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed those who did not believe.

6 And the angels who did not keep their proper domain, but left their own abode, HE has reserved in everlasting chains under darkness for the judgment of the great day;

7 as Sodom and Gomorrah, and the cities around them in a similar manner to these, having given themselves over to sexual immorality and gone after strange flesh, are set forth as an example, suffering the vengeance of Eternal fire.

Judgment is coming soon, and you don’t want to be on the wrong side!

Pursuing Holiness- Part 60

Saturday, July 6th, 2024

As we walk in Holiness, we will totally rely on The Holy Spirit to see us through all tests, trials, and tribulations we encounter!

The world has entered a time like never before.  Many have been blinded by the nefarious actors who have an insatiable thirst for control through power and finance.  They have fully submitted to the adversary and are simply carrying out his intent to subvert the world.

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.

We can be certain that we belong to God and have conquered them, for the One Who is living in us is far greater than the one who is in the world!

Pay close attention to these verses where Jesus warned us of this time when He spoke in Matthew chapter 24:

4 Jesus answered, “At that time deception will run rampant. So beware that you are not fooled!

5 For many will appear on the scene claiming My authority or saying about themselves, ‘I am the Anointed One,’ and they will lead many astray.

6 “You will hear of wars and revolutions on every side, with more rumors of wars to come. Don’t panic or give in to your fears, for the breaking apart of the world’s systems is destined to happen. But it won’t yet be the end; it will still be unfolding.

7 “Nations will go to war against nations and kingdoms against kingdoms. And there will be terrible earthquakes, horrible epidemics, and famines in place after place.

It has been confirmed that the Covid pandemic was spread as a bioweapon against us to decrease the population as well as control those who survived by promoting fear and compliance.

8 This is how the birth pains of the new age will begin!”

9 “You can expect to be persecuted, even killed; for you will be hated by all the nations because of your Love for Me.

During the pandemic, church services were deemed nonessential whereas bars were allowed to stay open.  What is wrong with this picture?

10 Then many will stop following Me and fall away, and they will betray one another and hate one another.

Expect a falling away of those who once followed Christ… sadly.

11 And many lying prophets will arise, deceiving multitudes and leading them away from the path of Truth.

How many “prophets” have predicted events (such as the rapture, the end of the world) that did not take place?  As we walk in Holiness, we will simply think “Who cares?” because we realize that only FATHER knows the day and the hour.  We simply carry out HIS Instructions on a daily basis without thinking about what tomorrow will bring.  We fully trust HIS Plan.

12 There will be such an increase of the sin of lawlessness that those whose hearts once burned with passion for God and others will grow cold.

13 But hold your hope firmly to the end and you will experience Life and deliverance.

14 “Yet through it all, the Good News of Heaven’s Kingdom will be proclaimed all over the world, providing every nation with a demonstration of the reality of God. And after that the end of this age will arrive.”

Be assured that “through it all”, FATHER’S Divine Intent will overcome all!  No weapon formed against us will prevail as we walk in Holiness.

Pursuing Holiness- Part 52

As we walk in Holiness, we should expect to deal with lying signs and wonders!

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in 2nd Thessalonians chapter 2:

1  Now, brethren, concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together to Him, we ask you,

2 not to be soon shaken in mind or troubled, either by spirit or by word or by letter, as if from us, as though the day of Christ had come.

3 Let no one deceive you by any means; for that Day will not come unless the falling away comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of perdition,

4 who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he sits as God in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God.

5 Do you not remember that when I was still with you I told you these things?

6 And now you know what is restraining, that he may be revealed in his own time. 7 For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only He who now restrains will do so until He is taken out of the way.

8 And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord will consume with the breath of His Mouth and destroy with the brightness of His coming.

9 The coming of the lawless one is according to the working of satan, with all power, signs, and lying wonders,

10 and with all unrighteous deception among those who perish, because they did not receive the Love of the Truth, that they might be saved.

11 And for this reason God will send them strong delusion, that they should believe the lie,

12 that they all may be condemned who did not believe the Truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

There will be great resistance to The Truth as we move toward The Coming of The Lord.  We are not to be shaken in our mind and let us not be troubled as it manifests on earth.

How will such a great delusion come upon mankind with “all power, signs, and lying wonders” specifically targeting eight billion people throughout the earth?   

One such method will be the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI).  It is marketed to the public as money-saving technology, but the true intent is sinister in nature.  It is all about population control.

AI’s less readily acknowledged purpose is to be a tool of a global coup striving to engineer complete central control down to the individual level.  Big Tech with the military-intelligence complex (funded with trillions in taxpayer dollars and central bank covert financial assistance) is an important part of the AI story.

The public is unknowingly funding this advanced control mechanism.

AI can be and is used to control information and shape public perceptions of reality. AI will become the principal tool of political messaging, and their unapologetic view that AI will alter “the prospects for free society, even free will.” Human-only decision-making will become a rarity and, over time, cease to exist.  That summarizes the plan of the adversary and his minions.

What does this tell us?  Groups of highly intelligent individuals are spiritually blind and have become vessels of dishonor.

How will they control us with AI?  Specifically with advanced satellite communications that surrounds the earth.  Computer server facilities currently have the raw capacity to monitor, surveil, and control every aspect of technology people are using.  As an example, the average smartphone sends about 50mb of data every morning (around 3 AM) to servers where AI analyzes various aspects of use by the user, including voice.

Another example:

Kill switches are devices hidden inside a motor vehicle that prevents it from starting. When a kill switch is engaged, it prevents an electrical circuit from completing. When a button is pressed, the kill switch can disengage, completing the electrical circuit, and allowing the necessary electricity to flow to the car’s ignition system. There are a number of different types of kill switches commonly found in automobiles.

Last year, the Biden administration drafted a 2,700 page infrastructure bill with a total budget of approximately $1 trillion. While it is unreasonable to expect the average American citizen to read through every page of Biden’s infrastructure bill, some lawmakers have taken the time to do so. What they discovered was that this bill includes a measure that mandates automakers to install vehicle backdoor kill switches in every car by 2026.

Artificial Intelligence is meant to counterfeit the ministry of The Holy Spirit. 

Instead of being led by The Holy Spirit, the adversary means to control us through the use of AI in all areas of our life.  This is one way the population will be deceived by with all power, signs, and lying wonders.

FATHER’S Divine Intent will not be stopped by AI.  As we walk in Holiness, our path will be determined by The Holy Spirit, not by some technology.  It is critical that we move forward in complete Holiness!

Pursuing Holiness- Part 49

Tuesday, June 25th, 2024

As we walk in Holiness, we will be qualified to be kings and priests, and we shall reign on the earth!

The Beloved Disciple John recorded what he heard and saw by The Holy Spirit in the Book of Revelation 1:

4 John, to the seven churches which are in Asia: Grace to you and peace from Him Who is and Who was and Who is to come, and from the seven Spirits who are before His throne,

5 and from Jesus Christ, the faithful Witness, the Firstborn from the dead, and the Ruler over the kings of the earth. To Him Who Loved us and washed us from our sins in His Own Blood,

6 and has made us kings and priests to His God and Father, to Him be glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen.

An in chapter 5:

6  Then I saw a young Lamb standing before the Throne, encircled by the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders. He appeared to have been slaughtered but was now alive! He had seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent out to the ends of the earth.

7 I saw the young Lamb approach the Throne and take the scroll from the Right Hand of THE ONE Who sat there.

8 And when the twenty-four elders and the four living creatures saw the Lamb had taken the scroll, they fell facedown at the feet of the Lamb and worshiped him. Each of them had a harp and golden bowls brimming full of sweet fragrant incense—which are the prayers of God’s Holy Lovers (saints).

9 And they sang a new song, saying: “You are worthy to take the scroll, And to open its seals; For You were slain, And have redeemed us to God by Your Blood Out of every tribe and tongue and people and nation,

10 And have made us kings and priests to our God; And we shall reign on the earth.”

The adversary know that he has a short time left before the manifested ordination of the Holy kings and priests who are called to reign on the earth with Our Lord Jesus Christ.  It is vital for us to be fully prepared for such an event.  This preparation can only be accomplished by pursuing and walking in total Holiness now.  If this were not possible, FATHER would not instruct us to “BE YE HOLY FOR I AM HOLY”.

Our Lord Jesus Christ established the importance of partaking Holy Communion with understanding as He appeared as Melchizedek, the “pre-incarnate Christ”.

Jesus referred to Melchizedek when He spoke in John chapter 8:

52  Then the Jews said to Him, “Now we know that You have a demon! Abraham is dead, and the prophets; and You say, ‘If anyone keeps My Word he shall never taste death.’

53 Are You greater than our father Abraham, who is dead? And the prophets are dead. Who do You make Yourself out to be?”

54 Jesus answered, “If I honor Myself, My honor is nothing. It is My Father Who honors Me, of Whom you say that He is your God.

55 Yet you have not known Him, but I know Him. And if I say, ‘I do not know Him,’ I shall be a liar like you; but I do know Him and keep His Word.

56 Your father Abraham rejoiced to see My day, and he saw it and was glad.” 57 Then the Jews said to Him, “You are not yet fifty years old, and have You seen Abraham?”

58 Jesus said to them, “Most assuredly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I AM.”

When did Abraham receive the revelation of His coming?

Moses wrote by THE SPIRIT in Genesis chapter 14:

18 Then Melchizedek King of Salem (peace) brought out bread and wine; He was the Priest of God Most High.

19 And He blessed him and said: “Blessed be Abram of God Most High, Possessor of Heaven and earth;

20 And blessed be God Most High, Who has delivered your enemies into your hand.” And he gave Him a tithe of all.

This is the first recorded event of taking Holy Communion.  Melchizedek administered Communion to Abram.  He surely disclosed the importance of this Holy ritual.  This was the precursor to Abram’s transformation to Abraham.  How did Abram respond?  He gave Melchizedek a tithe of all!  This covenant was completed with the tithe, the acknowledgement of the lesser giving and submitting to the Greater.  Abram gave without coercion.  What happened next?  The adversary came to incentivize Abram to break the covenant:

21 Now the king of Sodom said to Abram, “Give me the persons, and take the goods for yourself.”

22 But Abram said to the king of Sodom, “I have raised my hand to the LORD, God Most High, the Possessor of Heaven and earth,

23 that I will take nothing, from a thread to a sandal strap, and that I will not take anything that is yours, lest you should say, ‘I have made Abram rich’–

The king of Sodom attempted to give Abram power and authority just like the devil tried to give Jesus the kingdoms of the world.  Abram did not fall for it, and neither should we!

As we walk in Holiness, the adversary will surely tempt us to compromise our walk.  We already have assurance of who we are in Christ and are destined to reign as kings and priests.  Case closed!

Pursuing Holiness- Part 48

Monday, June 24th, 2024

When we walk in Holiness, we will hear GOD’S Voice, accept It, and produce fruit for The Kingdom of GOD!

There are two Greek words that are translated “WORD”: G4487 rhēma and G3056 logos.

This rhēma Word is the whole counsel of GOD, eternal, unchanged, complete.  We cannot apprehend the whole counsel of GOD for we have finite minds.  FATHER will speak a rhēma Word for us to receive personally and within our ability to comprehend HIS counsel specific to our lives.

Our faith increases as we hear and respond to the (rhēma) Word of Christ.  The more we hear the (rhēma) Word, the stronger we become, and the greater our fruitfulness.

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Romans chapter 10:

17 So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the (rhēma) Word of God.

Faith does not come by simply reading the Logos but it comes by hearing the (rhēma) Word of God.  Jesus did not have the New Testament to refer to in His Ministry, neither did Stephen or Philip.  They rely on the (rhēma) Word of God.  Those who Jesus healed relied on the (rhēma) Word of God spoken to them by Jesus.

Sometimes, you can read your Bible and get nothing spiritually.  Other times, The Holy Spirit will speak (rhēma) to you as you read a particular passage and it ministers to you.  Words written on a page do not guarantee faith will grow.  You must hear The Holy Spirit for faith to come.  I don’t belittle reading The Word but don’t think reading without hearing is sufficient in increasing your faith.

I have known people who diligently read the Bible, yet they do not comprehend how I can hear (rhēma) FATHER instruct me to take action.  Hearing in the Spiritual realm is difficult for me to explain or describe.  Praying in The Holy Spirit decidedly helps me hear better since I spend time in THE SPIRIT realm.

None of the disciples had the benefit of a New Testament as they were led by The Holy Spirit to evangelize the world.  They had to rely on hearing The Word (rhēma).  Paul himself, stated that he prayed in Tongues more than you all!  As he heard The Word (rhēma), he was empowered to write (the Logos) what he heard The Holy Spirit speak (rhēma).  I do the same thing when I write these blogs to you.  Moses recorded what he heard as he wrote the first five books of the Bible.  As a matter of fact, the entire Bible comes from the (rhēma) Words given to each author (aka transcriber).

Walking in Holiness centers around hearing and obeying GOD’s Voice (rhēma).

There are three stages:

GOD speaks HIS (Rhēma) Word.

We hear HIS (Rhēma) Word.

Out of hearing, faith comes.

We must come into a certain frame of mind to receive HIS (Rhēma) Word.  We must settle down to an inner stillness for our mind to come to rest.  It is vital that we eliminate worldly distractions so that our mind will no longer be focused on the cares of the world.

Jesus pointed this out when He explained the Parable of the Sower in Mark chapter 4:

13 And He said to them, “Do you not understand this parable? How then will you understand all the parables?

14 The Sower sows the Word (logos).

15 And these are the ones by the wayside where the Word is sown. When they hear, Satan comes immediately and takes away the Word that was sown in their hearts.

16 These likewise are the ones sown on stony ground who, when they hear the Word, immediately receive it with gladness;

17 and they have no root in themselves, and so endure only for a time. Afterward, when tribulation or persecution arises for the Word’s sake, immediately they stumble.

18 Now these are the ones sown among thorns; they are the ones who hear the Word,

19 and the cares of this world, the deceitfulness of riches, and the desires for other things entering in choke the Word, and it becomes unfruitful.

20 But these are the ones sown on good ground, those who hear the Word, accept it, and bear fruit: some thirtyfold, some sixty, and some a hundred.”

When you hear and accept The Word, you will bear fruit.  You will not allow distractions, cares, deceits, lies, or selfish desires to impede your hearing.  Each of us needs to cultivate the process of hearing the (rhēma) Word of God as this is vital to walking in great faith.

The (rhēma) Word of God will always align with the Logos Word.  That is why we must read and study Scripture as a second witness to what we are hearing.  The Logos and the (rhēma) Word of God are always in agreement.

Pursuing Holiness- Part 47

Sunday, June 23rd, 2024

When we walk in Holiness, we will walk in greater faith because we hear GOD’S Voice and respond accordingly!

There are two Greek words that are translated “WORD”: G4487 rhēma and G3056 logos.

When Jesus was tempted by the devil, He spoke in Matthew chapter 4:

1 Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil.

2 And when He had fasted forty days and forty nights, afterward He was hungry.

3 Now when the tempter came to Him, he said, “If You are the Son of God, command that these stones become bread.”

4 But He answered and said, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every Word (G4487 rhēma) that proceeds from the Mouth of God.'”

This rhēma Word is the whole counsel of GOD, eternal, unchanged, complete.  We cannot apprehend the whole counsel of GOD for we have finite minds.  FATHER will speak a rhēma Word for us to receive personally and within our ability to comprehend HIS counsel specific to our lives.

The total counsel of GOD is imparted to us in portions so that we are able to receive it and walk in the rhēma Word we have been given.  HE is well aware of our capacity to receive HIS rhēma Word and will not tell us more than we can handle based on our level of maturity.  HE will impart a rhēma Word each day to develop our capacity to receive greater instructions in our walk.  HE patiently builds up our spiritual maturity so that we can walk in a greater level of power and authority.  HE will correct us as needed; this is what Love does!

Moses recorded by THE SPIRIT in Deuteronomy chapter 8:

1 “Every commandment (rhēma) which I command you today you must be careful to observe, that you may live and multiply, and go in and possess the land of which the LORD swore to your fathers.

2 And you shall remember that the LORD your God led you all the way these forty years in the wilderness, to humble you and test you, to know what was in your heart, whether you would keep His commandments (rhēma) or not.

3 So He humbled you, allowed you to hunger, and fed you with manna which you did not know nor did your fathers know, that He might make you know that man shall not live by bread alone; but man lives by every Word (rhēma) that proceeds from the Mouth of the LORD.

4 Your garments did not wear out on you, nor did your foot swell these forty years. 5 You should know in your heart that as a man chastens his son, so the LORD your God chastens you.

6 “Therefore you shall keep the commandments (rhēma) of the LORD your God, to walk in His ways and to fear Him.

7 For the LORD your God is bringing you into a good land, a land of brooks of water, of fountains and springs, that flow out of valleys and hills;

8 a land of wheat and barley, of vines and fig trees and pomegranates, a land of olive oil and honey;

9 a land in which you will eat bread without scarcity, in which you will lack nothing; a land whose stones are iron and out of whose hills you can dig copper. 10 When you have eaten and are full, then you shall bless the LORD your God for the good land which He has given you.

11 “Beware that you do not forget the LORD your God by not keeping His commandments, His judgments, and His statutes which I command you today,

FATHER instructs us just as HE instructed Israel with HIS (rhēma) Word.  The result of hearing and responding to HIS (rhēma) Word will produce the same benefits HE stated to the children of Israel.

Our faith increases as we hear and respond to the (rhēma) Word of Christ.  The more we hear the (rhēma) Word, the stronger we become.

As Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Romans chapter 10:

17 So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the (rhēma) Word of God.

What should be our highest priority?  It is to hear the (rhēma) Word and respond to It!

Pursuing Holiness- Part 46

When we walk in Holiness, we will walk in faith because we hear GOD’S Voice!

FATHER’S Voice is intimate and personal to each of us individually.  HIS Words are multifaceted and ministers to our spirit in accordance with what is needed at the time.

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Romans chapter 10:

17 So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the Word (G4487 rhēma) of God.

In other Words, faith, then, is birthed in a heart that responds to God’s anointed Utterance of the Anointed One.

There are two Greek words that are translated “WORD”: G4487 rhēma and G3056 logos.

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

1 In the beginning was the Word (G3056 logos), 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.

Logos is the mind, total counsel, and reason of GOD.

David recorded by THE SPIRIT in Psalm chapter 119:

89 Forever, O LORD, Your Word is settled in Heaven.

In other Words, standing firm in the heavens and fastened to eternity is the Word of God.  FATHER’S Word is concise and totally reliable.  It expresses FATHER’S Divine Intent.  HIS Word’s preciseness is reflected in the heavens.  Scientists are able to precisely calculate astronomical events only because of the reliability of GOD’S Word when HE established the heavens.  All of the natural laws were established by HIS precise Word, you can count on it!  It can’t be changed.  This is also true of HIS Spoken Word to each of us.

The Logos Word is summed up in the Person of Jesus Christ as John wrote in the above passage.  There is no variance in Jesus Christ, so if there is an issue, it is with you and me.  Jesus is the total purpose, counsel, and Mind of GOD.

Jesus spoke in John chapter 14:

6 Jesus said to him, “I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.

7 “If you had known Me, you would have known My Father also; and from now on you know Him and have seen Him.”

8 Philip said to Him, “Lord, show us the Father, and it is sufficient for us.”

9 Jesus said to him, “Have I been with you so long, and yet you have not known Me, Philip? He who has seen Me has seen the Father; so how can you say, ‘Show us the Father’?

10 Do you not believe that I am in the Father, and the Father in Me? The Words that I speak to you I do not speak on My own authority; but the Father Who dwells in Me does the works.

11 Believe Me that I am in the Father and the Father in Me, or else believe Me for the sake of the works themselves.

Jesus heard HIS FATHER’S Voice and precisely carried out The Word as directed.  HE served FATHER’S Divine Intent with no variance whatsoever.  As we walk in Holiness, we will do the same… not my will but Your Will be done!

In order to do FATHER’S Will, we must clearly hear HIS Voice.

Pursuing Holiness- Part 42

Tuesday, June 18th, 2024

When we are walking in Holiness and operating in our calling, we will act immediately and without hesitation!

Once Saul’s heart was transformed and as he received the Baptism of The Holy Spirit, he did not delay in walking out his calling!  He was more than willing to confront his former supporters.

Luke recorded by The Holy Spirit in Acts chapter 9:

20  Immediately he preached the Christ in the synagogues, that He is the Son of God.

This is the only one of two times in the Book of Acts that the phrase “Son of GOD” is used to describe Jesus.  Philip used this same phrase in Acts 8:37. Sonship relates to full and complete obedience to Our Heavenly Father.

21 Then all who heard were amazed, and said, “Is this not he who destroyed those who called on this Name in Jerusalem, and has come here for that purpose, so that he might bring them bound to the chief priests?”

22 But Saul increased all the more in strength, and confounded the Jews who dwelt in Damascus, proving that this Jesus is the Christ.

We should not be surprised when an enemy of Christ is converted.  Saul’s power increased greatly as he became more and more proficient in proving that Jesus was the anointed Messiah. Saul remained there for several days with the disciples, even though it agitated the Jews of Damascus.

Saul declared that Jesus was The Son of GOD!  Thus, Truth was resisted by the Jews who knew their power would evaporate once the people heard such a Truth!  Saul went from a hero of the Jews to an archenemy of the Jews in less than a week.

23 Now after many days were past, the Jews plotted to kill him.

24 But their plot became known to Saul. And they watched the gates day and night, to kill him.

25 Then the disciples took him by night and let him down through the wall in a large basket.

26 And when Saul had come to Jerusalem, he tried to join the disciples; but they were all afraid of him, and did not believe that he was a disciple.

27 But Barnabas took him and brought him to the apostles. And he declared to them how he had seen the Lord on the road, and that He had spoken to him, and how he had preached boldly at Damascus in the name of Jesus.

28 So he was with them at Jerusalem, coming in and going out.

29 And he spoke boldly in the Name of the Lord Jesus and disputed against the Hellenists, but they attempted to kill him.

30 When the brethren found out, they brought him down to Caesarea and sent him out to Tarsus.

31 Then the churches throughout all Judea, Galilee, and Samaria had peace and were edified. And walking in the Fear of the Lord and in the comfort of the Holy Spirit, they were multiplied.

As we speak boldly and declare The Name of THE LORD, we will be confronted by the adversary and his minions.  Jesus was confronted by the Jews in like manner during His earthly ministry.

Jesus spoke in John chapter 8:

37  “I know that you are Abraham’s descendants, but you seek to kill Me, because My Word has no place in you.

38 I speak what I have seen with My Father, and you do what you have seen with your father.“

39 They answered and said to Him, “Abraham is our father.” Jesus said to them, “If you were Abraham’s children, you would do the works of Abraham.

40 But now you seek to kill Me, a Man who has told you the Truth which I heard from God. Abraham did not do this.

41 You do the deeds of your father.” Then they said to Him, “We were not born of fornication; we have one Father-God.”

42 Jesus said to them, “If God were your Father, you would Love Me, for I proceeded forth and came from God; nor have I come of Myself, but He sent Me.

43 Why do you not understand My speech? Because you are not able to listen to My Word.

44 You are of your father the devil, and the desires of your father you want to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the Truth, because there is no Truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own resources, for he is a liar and the father of it.

45 But because I tell the Truth, you do not believe Me.

46 Which of you convicts Me of sin? And if I tell the Truth, why do you not believe Me?

47 He who is of God hears God’s Words; therefore you do not hear, because you are not of God.”

As we walk in Holiness, we will confront the father of lies head on just as Jesus did, just as Paul did.  Let us walk in full assurance, immediately, and without hesitation.
