Ascending To His Presence

Tuesday, November 25th, 2025

Are you committed to ascending to the Presence of THE LORD?

The majority of believers simply want to live a peaceful life without any issues.  However, when Jesus began His ministry, He was led to the wilderness and confronted the adversary to be tested.

King David recorded by The Holy Spirit in Psalm chapter 24:

3 Who may ascend into the hill of the LORD? Or who may stand in His Holy Place?

4 He who has clean hands and a pure heart, Who has not lifted up his soul to an idol, Nor sworn deceitfully.

In other Words, those who are clean—whose works and ways are pure, whose hearts are true and sealed by the Truth, those who never deceive, whose words are sure.

One benefit of being in His Presence is the fullness of joy.

Also in Psalm chapter 16:

11 Because of You, I know the path of Life, as I taste the fullness of joy in Your Presence. At Your Right Dide I experience Divine pleasures forevermore!

When you get into that manifest Presence of GOD, you don’t want to leave, nothing else matters.  As a result, you begin to pray with boldness, and with power and authority.  This will allow you to minister for THE LORD beyond your natural capabilities.  This is my quest, and I trust it is yours as well.  I have had “incidents:” of this but not with consistency.

Power is generated through consistent prayer.  We don’t pray to earn something, we pray to host something, to burn with something.  We are partnering with The Holy Spirit.  We are co-laborers with GOD.  As I pray in The Holy Spirit, I am strengthening my inner man.

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in 1st Corinthians chapter 14:

4 The one who speaks in Tongues advances his own spiritual progress, while the one who prophesies builds up the church.

And in Ephesians chapter 3:

14 For this reason I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,

15 from whom the whole family in Heaven and earth is named,

16 that He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with might through His Spirit in the inner man,

What happens when this strengthening occurs?

Paul writes by The Holy Spirit in 1 Corinthians chapter 12:

6 The same God distributes different kinds of miracles that accomplish different results through each believer’s gift and ministry as He energizes and activates them.

7 Each believer is given continuous revelation by the Holy Spirit to benefit not just himself but all.

8 For example: The Spirit gives to one the gift of the Word of Wisdom. To another, the same Spirit gives the gift of the Word of revelation knowledge.

9 And to another, the same Spirit gives the gift of faith. And to another, the same Spirit gives gifts of healing.

10 And to another the power to work miracles. And to another the gift of prophecy. And to another the gift to discern what the Spirit is speaking. And to another the gift of speaking different kinds of Tongues. And to another the gift of interpretation of Tongues.

11 Remember, it is the same Holy Spirit Who distributes, activates, and operates these different gifts as He chooses for each believer.

Don’t limit yourself to operating in only one gift.  The Holy Spirit determines what gift is needed based on the situation.  Be open to being used as HE directs.  We must tap into the Power Source on the inside of us.

Your foundation will be tested and reveal your spiritual state.

Jesus spoke in Matthew chapter 7:

24 “Everyone who hears My teaching and applies it to his life can be compared to a wise man who built his house on an unshakable foundation.

25 When the rains fell and the flood came, with fierce winds beating upon his house, it stood firm because of its strong foundation.

26 “But everyone who hears my teaching and does not apply it to his life can be compared to a foolish man who built his house on sand.

27 When it rained and rained and the flood came, with wind and waves beating upon his house, it collapsed and was swept away.”

You can’t tell the difference between the two houses until the storms come.

Are you counted among the wise or the foolish?  The trials and testings will reveal your current level of spiritual maturity.  The more time you spend praying in THE SPIRIT, the stronger your foundation.

Anything that has preeminence to the Presence of GOD is an idol.  Idols are not allowed in the Presence of GOD.

If you have an idol, your foundation will be shaky.  Whatever we prioritize more than HIM is an idol.  The Holy Spirit will reveal any idol in your life, and you are to lay it down at the altar and repent before THE LORD.  Confront it, confess it, release it before GOD, and say, “Jesus I want Your fire in my life.”  We must remove everything that is not of Him including our self-reliance.

Ascending to the Presence of GOD should be our top priority!

Paul’s Warning Against Unholiness

Monday, November 24th, 2025

In that last days, men will be unthankful to GOD!

What does it mean to be full Gospel versus two-thirds Gospel?  GOD is triune: THE FATHER, THE SON, and THE HOLY SPIRIT.  How many church services include the teaching and ministry of The Holy Spirit?

In the early church, the ministry of The Holy Spirit was widespread, beginning in Acts chapter 2 and other references were recorded.  Paul had to correct the Corinthian church and establish the proper order of the gifts of The Holy Spirit during their assembly.  How many churches today allow the gifts of The Holy Spirit to operate within their building?

Let’s refer back to Paul’s warning of what the last days would look like.

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in 2nd Timothy chapter 3:

1 But you need to be aware that in the final days the culture of society will become extremely fierce.

2 People will be self-centered lovers of themselves and obsessed with money. They will boast of great things as they strut around in their arrogant pride and mock all that is right. They will ignore their own families. They will be ungrateful and ungodly.

3 They will become addicted to hateful and malicious slander. Slaves to their desires, they will be ferocious, belligerent haters of what is good and right.

4 With brutal treachery, they will act without restraint, bigoted and wrapped in clouds of their conceit. They will find their delight in the pleasures of this world more than the pleasures of the Loving God.

If you are ungrateful to GOD, you will also be ungodly.  Your focus will move away from Holiness and focus on the pleasures of the world.

5 They may pretend to have a respect for God, but in reality, they want nothing to do with God’s power. Stay away from people like these!

They may ask GOD or Jesus to heal someone, but they disregard the Words of Jesus in the Great Commission commanding us to heal the sick by the power of The Holy Spirit, in Jesus’ Name.

6 For they are the ones who worm their way into the hearts of vulnerable women, spending the night with those who are captured by their lusts and steeped in sin.

7 They are always learning but never discover the revelation-knowledge of Truth.

You can get a degree in Religious Studies and become a minister or chaplain, but without The Holy Spirit, you are simply puffed up with knowledge.  You have achieved a form of godliness but are denying its power.

How many churches are restricting their services to 25 minutes of “worship”, 5 minutes of activities announcements, and 30 minutes for a short sermon?  How many churches teach on Acts chapter 2, 1st Corinthians chapter 12 and 14?

What is the opposite of being thankful?  It is murmuring. 

In Scripture, “murmuring” is low-voiced complaining, grumbling, or discontent, often directed at God or leaders, and it is condemned as a sin that shows a lack of gratitude and faith. This behavior is seen as a form of rebellion, as demonstrated by the Israelites’ constant complaints against God and Moses in the wilderness. Murmuring is associated with creating discord, undermining authority, and leading to serious consequences, as seen in examples like the destruction of those who murmured against God. 

Paul warns us and provides an example as he wrote by The Holy Spirit in 1st Corinthians chapter 10:

1 My dear fellow believers, you need to understand that all of our Jewish ancestors who walked through a wilderness long ago were under the glory cloud and passed through the waters of the sea on both sides.

2 They were all baptized into the cloud of glory, into the fellowship of Moses, and into the sea.

3 They all ate the same Heavenly manna

4 and drank water from the same Spiritual Rock that traveled with them—and that Rock was Christ Himself.

5 Yet God was not pleased with most of them, and their dead bodies were scattered around the wilderness.

6 Now, all these things serve as types and pictures for us—lessons that teach us not to fail in the same way by callously craving worthless things

7 and practicing idolatry, as some of them did. For it is written: The people settled in to their unrestrained revelry, with feasting and drinking, then they rose up and became wildly out of control!

8 Neither should we commit sexual immorality, as some of them did, which caused the death of twenty-three thousand on a single day.

9 Nor should we ever provoke the Lord, as some of them did by putting Him to outrageous tests that resulted in their death from snakebites day after day.

10 And we must not embrace their ways by complaining—grumbling with discontent, as many of them did, and were killed by the destroyer!

They were murmuring against THE LORD.

11 All the tests they endured on their way through the wilderness are a symbolic picture, an example that provides us with a warning so that we can learn through what they experienced. For we live in a time when the purpose of all the ages past is now completing its goal within us.

12 So beware if you think it could never happen to you, lest your pride becomes your downfall.

We must not disregard the signs of the times and allow ourselves to be satisfied with a watered-down Gospel designed to tickle our ears and make us feel good about ourselves as we do nothing to truly further The Kingdom here on earth.

Let us be continuously thankful to Our Heavenly Father and allow The Holy Spirit to lead us each day.

Without Thanksgiving

Sunday, November 23rd, 2025

Without thanksgiving, the gate to GOD’S Presence is inaccessible!

What happens to society when they are no longer thankful for all that GOD has done?  Paul provides us the details of what we will observe.

Paul recorded by The Holy Spirit in Romans chapter 1:

18 For the wrath of God is revealed from Heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the Truth in unrighteousness,

19 because what may be known of God is manifest in them, for God has shown it to them.

20 For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His Eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse,

21 because, although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened.

22 Professing to be wise, they became fools,

When we cease being thankful, we are starting on a downward, slippery path.  If you start down that path, it is hard to turn around and make your way back up again.

The Holy Spirit found it necessary to provide us with much detail of this slippery slope once men have turned away from their Creator.  It is important to view this list with what is going on today.

24 This is why God lifted off His restraining Hand and let them have full expression of their sinful and shameful desires. They were given over to moral depravity, dishonoring their bodies by sexual perversion among themselves—

25 all because they traded the Truth of God for a lie. They worshiped and served the things God made rather than the God who made all things—glory and praises to Him forever and ever! Amen!

26-27 For this reason God gave them over to their own disgraceful and vile passions. Enflamed with lust for one another, men and women ignored the natural order and exchanged normal sexual relations for homosexuality. Women engaged in lesbian conduct, and men committed shameful acts with men, receiving in themselves the due penalty for their deviation.

28 And because they thought it was worthless to embrace the true knowledge of God, God gave them over to a worthless mind-set, to break all rules of proper conduct.

29 Their sinful lives became full of every kind of evil, wicked schemes, greed, and cruelty. Their hearts overflowed with jealous cravings, and with conflict and strife, which drove them into hateful arguments and murder. They are deceitful liars full of hostility. They are gossips

30 who love to spread malicious slander. With inflated egos they hurl hateful insults at God, yet they are nothing more than arrogant boasters. They are rebels against their parents and totally immoral.

31 They are senseless, faithless, ruthless, heartless, and completely merciless.

32 Although they are fully aware of God’s laws and proper order, and knowing that those who do all of these things deserve to die, yet they still go headlong into darkness, encouraging others to do the same and applauding them when they do!

What an indictment of where much of society is today!  Do you think that FATHER is unaware of the seriousness of this situation?  Is there judgment around the corner?

Paul also wrote by The Holy Spirit in 2nd Timothy chapter 3:

1 But you need to be aware that in the final days the culture of society will become extremely fierce.

2 People will be self-centered lovers of themselves and obsessed with money. They will boast of great things as they strut around in their arrogant pride and mock all that is right. They will ignore their own families. They will be ungrateful and ungodly.

3 They will become addicted to hateful and malicious slander. Slaves to their desires, they will be ferocious, belligerent haters of what is good and right.

4 With brutal treachery, they will act without restraint, bigoted and wrapped in clouds of their conceit. They will find their delight in the pleasures of this world more than the pleasures of the Loving God.

5 They may pretend to have a respect for God, but in reality they want nothing to do with God’s power. Stay away from people like these!

6 For they are the ones who worm their way into the hearts of vulnerable women, spending the night with those who are captured by their lusts and steeped in sin.

7 They are always learning but never discover the revelation-knowledge of Truth.

The lists above confirm that we are in the final days.  It is critical that we not allow ourselves to be swayed by society but instead, we move closer to Our Heavenly Father Who will protect us as judgment comes forth.  Let us be thankful at all times.

The Holy Spirit has sufficiently warned us of the alternative and its ramifications.

The Door Of Thankfulness

Saturday, November 22nd, 2025

By thanksgiving, we open a door to restoration!

Luke recorded by The Holy Spirit in Luke chapter 17:

11 Now it happened as Jesus went to Jerusalem that He passed through the midst of Samaria and Galilee.

12 Then as He entered a certain village, there met Him ten men who were lepers, who stood afar off.

13 And they lifted up their voices and said, “Jesus, Master, have mercy on us!”

14 So when He saw them, He said to them, “Go, show yourselves to the priests.” And so it was that as they went, they were cleansed.

On the way, you will be healed.

15 And one of them, when he saw that he was healed, returned, and with a loud voice glorified God,

16 and fell down on his face at His feet, giving Him thanks. And he was a Samaritan.

He was not a Jew but that didn’t matter to Jesus.

17 So Jesus answered and said, “Were there not ten cleansed? But where are the nine?

18 Were there not any found who returned to give glory to God except this foreigner?”

19 Then Jesus said to the healed man lying at his feet, “Arise and go. It was your faith that brought you salvation and made you whole.”

All ten were cleansed but only the one who returned to give thanks was saved.  Each had a physical healing but only one received the Eternal spiritual healing of salvation.  He was the only one who came close to Jesus.  Without thanksgiving, we have no access to GOD.

Thanksgiving is the key that unlocks the supernatural miracle power of GOD.

The Beloved Disciple recorded the feeding of the 5,000 by The Holy Spirit in John chapter 6:

8 One of His disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother, said to Him,

9 “There is a lad here who has five barley loaves and two small fish, but what are they among so many?”

10 Then Jesus said, “Make the people sit down.” Now there was much grass in the place. So the men sat down, in number about five thousand.

11 And Jesus took the loaves, and when He had given thanks to GOD, He distributed them to the disciples, and the disciples to those sitting down; and likewise of the fish, as much as they wanted.

12 So when they were filled, He said to His disciples, “Gather up the fragments that remain, so that nothing is lost.”

13 Therefore they gathered them up, and filled twelve baskets with the fragments of the five barley loaves which were left over by those who had eaten.

14 Then those men, when they had seen the sign that Jesus did, said, “This is truly the Prophet who is to come into the world.”

Jesus didn’t pray and ask GOD to do anything.  He simply gave thanks to GOD for what He had in His Hand.

John mentioned this again in the same chapter:

23 however, other boats came from Tiberias, near the place where they ate bread after the Lord had given thanks–

The miracle was released, not by some long prayer, but instead by giving thanks to THE FATHER.  Many times, we miss out on the power of GOD simply we don’t release it by giving thanks to HIM.

In John chapter 11, Jesus went to raise Lazarus from the dead:

38 Then Jesus, again groaning in Himself, came to the tomb. It was a cave, and a stone lay against it.

39 Jesus said, “Take away the stone.” Martha, the sister of him who was dead, said to Him, “Lord, by this time there is a stench, for he has been dead four days.”

40 Jesus said to her, “Did I not say to you that if you would believe you would see the glory of God?”

41 Then they took away the stone from the place where the dead man was lying. And Jesus lifted up His Eyes and said, “Father, I thank You that You have heard Me.

42 And I know that You always hear Me, but because of the people who are standing by I said this, that they may believe that You sent Me.”

43 Now when He had said these things, He cried with a loud voice, “Lazarus, come forth!”

44 And he who had died came out bound hand and foot with graveclothes, and his face was wrapped with a cloth. Jesus said to them, “Loose him, and let him go.”

Jesus spoke forth thankfulness before He fed the five thousand and raised Lazarus from the dead.  He revealed a Truth that each of us should embrace.  Be thankful in everything and the door will be opened to you.

Be Thankful

Friday, November 21st, 2025

By thanksgiving, we acknowledge GOD’S goodness!

You cannot be unthankful and be in the grace of GOD.

It is written by The Holy Spirit in Hebrews chapter 12:

28 Therefore, since we are receiving a Kingdom which cannot be shaken, let us have grace, by which we may serve God acceptably with reverence and Godly fear.

In other Words, 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.

You cannot be unthankful and be in the grace of GOD.  Grace and thankfulness are equivalent, directly connected.  When we are unthankful, we are out of the grace of GOD.

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Colossians chapter 3:

15 And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which also you were called in one body; and be thankful.

16 Let the Word of Christ dwell in you richly in all Wisdom, teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and Spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.

17 And whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the Name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him.

Do everything in the Name of Jesus, giving thanks to GOD.

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Ephesians chapter 5:

18 And do not be drunk with wine, in which is dissipation; but be filled with the Spirit,

What do you do when you are filled with The Holy Spirit:

19 speaking to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord,

20 giving thanks always for all things to God the Father in the Name of our Lord Jesus Christ,

How much time do you spend giving GOD thanks?

And in 1st Thessalonians chapter 5:

16 Rejoice always,

17 pray without ceasing,

18 in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.

If you are not giving thanks, you are out of the will of GOD!

Paul also wrote by The Holy Spirit in Philippians chapter 4:

6 Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God;

Don’t be pulled in different directions or worried about a thing. Be saturated in prayer throughout each day, offering your faith-filled requests before God with overflowing gratitude. Tell Him every detail of your life, then God’s wonderful peace that transcends human understanding, will guard your heart and mind through Jesus Christ.   

Keep your thoughts continually fixed on all that is authentic and real, honorable and admirable, beautiful and respectful, pure and Holy, merciful and kind. And fasten your thoughts on every glorious work of God, praising Him always.

Never bring a request to GOD without thanksgiving.

It is recorded by The Holy Spirit in Psalm chapter 100:

4 Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, And into His courts with praise. Be thankful to Him, and bless His Name.

Notice that there are two stages of access to GOD.  The first is through HIS gates.  The second is through HIS courts.  The gates give you admission to HIS courts.  The courts give you admission to HIS Presence.  You can’t get into HIS Presence except through HIS gates with thanksgiving and HIS courts with praise.  The first step to access to GOD is thanksgiving.

Why be thankful?  Verse 5 provides three reasons:

5 For the LORD is good;

His mercy is everlasting,

And His Truth endures to all generations.

These things never change.  You should be thankful for these unchanging aspects of GOD’S Nature and HIS dealings with us.

True Worshippers

Thursday, November 20th, 2025

We are to approach Our Heavenly Father by thanksgiving, praise, and worship!

Being a worshipper is what positions me to pray effectively.

Moses recorded what GOD spoke in Exodus chapter 19:

6 And you shall be to Me a Kingdom of priests and a Holy nation.’ These are the words which you shall speak to the children of Israel.”

It is also recorded by The Holy Spirit in Isaiah chapter 61:

6 But you will be known as Priests of YAHWEH, and called Servants of our God. You will feast on the wealth of nations and revel in their riches!

The prophecies in the past have now been consummated and exist in the present.

Peter recorded by The Holy Spirit in his Epistle 1st Peter 2:

9 But you are God’s chosen treasure—priests who are kings, a spiritual “nation” set apart as God’s devoted ones. He called you out of darkness to experience His marvelous light, and now He claims you as His very own. He did this so that you would broadcast His glorious wonders throughout the world.

10 For at one time you were not God’s people, but now you are. At one time you knew nothing of God’s mercy, because you hadn’t received it yet, but now you are drenched with it!

And The Beloved Disciple recorded what he saw and heard in Revelation chapter 5:

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 writer of Hebrews affirms the Truth of this better Covenant as he recorded by The Holy Spirit in Hebrews chapter 8:

6 But now Jesus the Messiah has accepted a priestly ministry which far surpasses theirs, since He is the catalyst of a better Covenant which contains far more wonderful promises!

Often, people enjoy singing songs about GOD but didn’t want to sing to HIM.  My desire is to be face-to-FACE with HIM.  True priests engage with HIM.

Our prayer should be, “FATHER, teach us this one thing, what is it like to minister to YOU?”

We are designed for something greater than we are experiencing.  To reach that higher level, we should pursue being in HIS Presence and allow HIM to direct us into full spiritual maturity.  We are designed to impact and influence the world around us.

Promises are the invitations from GOD to step into what is possible.  How can you know those promises specific to you if you can’t hear HIS Voice?  How can you hear HIS Voice if you don’t step into HIS Presence?

Worship is not a formula; it is a true, passionate desire to exalt THE LORD for Who HE is.  The psalmist understood this as the following Psalms declared:

Psalm 9:1 TPT

I will worship You, YAHWEH, with extended hands as my whole heart erupts with praise! I will tell everyone everywhere about Your wonderful works!

Psalm 48:9 TPT

Lord, as we worship You in your temple, we recall over and over Your kindness to us and Your unending Love.

Psalm 63:4 TPT

Daily I will worship You passionately and with all my heart. My arms will wave to You like banners of praise.

Psalm 116:17 TPT

Now I’ll worship You passionately and bring to You my sacrifice of praise, drenched with thanksgiving!

Psalm 116:19 TPT

I will worship You here in Your Living Presence, in the temple in Jerusalem. I will worship and sing hallelujah, for I praise You, Lord!

Psalm 138:1 TPT

I thank You, Lord, and with all the passion of my heart I worship You in the presence of angels! Heaven’s mighty ones will hear my voice as I sing my Loving praise to You. 

You cannot get near to GOD without thanksgiving and praise.  By thanksgiving, we acknowledge GOD’S goodness.  By praise, we acknowledge GOD’S greatness.  By worship, we acknowledge GOD’S Holiness.

Worship, which is the highest activity of the human soul, relates us to the Holiness of GOD.

Do Not Worry

Wednesday, November 19th, 2025

Is your worship replaced by worry?

According to Scripture, our day begins at night so if you are worried as you go to bed, your next day will often be challenging.  As we set our affection on Christ when we go to bed, our sleep will be blessed.  If I wake up in the middle of the night, I will focus my affection on Christ and return to sleep.  Let us not succumb to fear, worry, anxiety, or doubt.

Being a worshipper is what positions me to pray effectively.

Complaining is prayer in reverse.  Complaining actually reveals that I’m losing the battle over my thoughts.  Complaining, criticism, or resentment all reveal losing the battle over my thought life.  Did Jesus ever complain?

 Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Philippians chapter 4:

4 Rejoice in the Lord always. Again I will say, rejoice!

5 Let your gentleness be known to all men. The Lord is at hand.

6 Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God;

7 and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

If you are gripped in worry, rejoice in THE LORD.  As you worship THE LORD, your anxiety will diminish. 

8 Keep your thoughts continually fixed on all that is authentic and real, honorable and admirable, beautiful and respectful, pure and Holy, merciful and kind. And fasten your thoughts on every glorious work of God, praising Him always.

Paul also wrote by The Holy Spirit in 1st Thessalonians chapter 5:

16 Rejoice always,

17 pray without ceasing,

18 in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.

19 Never restrain or put out the fire of the Holy Spirit.

In other Words, let joy be your continual feast.  Make your life a prayer.  And in the midst of everything be always giving thanks, for this is God’s perfect plan for you in Christ Jesus.

Any situation I cannot rejoice in or give thanks in; I am losing the battle over my thoughts. 

The devil masquerades himself as an angel of light (2nd Corinthians 11:14).  An offense will come into a person’s life because they think they’re functioning in discernment.  The enemy attempts to sneak something into our heart that actually works opposite of what The Holy Spirit is saying.  This angel of light promotes complaining, criticism, resentment, worry, thus removing the peace of GOD in our hearts.

What rejoicing and thanksgiving do is that they completely dismantle that mindset.  They expose the root system that the enemy has used to persuade to buy into a lie.  Worrying is a symptom of the issue.

Jesus addressed worry as He spoke in Matthew chapter 6:

25 “Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing?

26 Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they?

27 Which of you by worrying can add one cubit to his stature?

28 “So why do you worry about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin;

29 and yet I say to you that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.

30 Now if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is, and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will He not much more clothe you, O you of little faith?

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.

Rejoicing and thankfulness are absolute pure expressions of faith!

Heavenly Versus Earthly

Monday, November 17th, 2025

Which treasures are you focused on, earthly or Heavenly?

 Moses recorded by The Holy Spirit in Deuteronomy chapter 8:

18 “And you shall remember the LORD your God, for it is He Who gives you power to get wealth, that He may establish His covenant which He swore to your fathers, as it is this day.

Time and time again, FATHER has proved HIS Words in the above passage.  As we are led by The Holy Spirit and found to be trustworthy with wealth, HE will increase the treasuries for us to manage on HIS behalf.

Jesus did not hesitate to reference finances when He spoke in the following verses:

Matthew 6:19 TPT

“Don’t keep hoarding for yourselves earthly treasures that can be stolen by thieves. Material wealth eventually rusts, decays, and loses its value.

Matthew 6:20 TPT

Instead, stockpile heavenly treasures for yourselves that cannot be stolen and will never rust, decay, or lose their value.

Matthew 13:52 TPT

He responded, “Every scholar of the Scriptures, who is instructed in the ways of Heaven’s Kingdom realm, is like a wealthy home owner with his house filled with treasures both new and old.”

Luke 16:11 TPT

If you have not handled the riches of this world with integrity, why should you be trusted with the Eternal treasures of the spiritual world?

Luke 18:22 TPT

“Ah,” Jesus said, “there’s still one thing you’re missing in your life.” “What is that?” asked the man. “You must go and sell everything you own and give all the proceeds to the poor so you will have Eternal treasures. Then come and follow Me.”

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in the following epistles:

Romans 8:17 TPT

And since we are His true children, we qualify to share all His treasures, for indeed, we are heirs of God Himself. And since we are joined to Christ, we also inherit all that He is and all that He has. We will experience being co-glorified with Him provided that we accept His sufferings as our own.

Romans 10:12 TPT

So then faith eliminates the distinction between Jew and non-Jew, for He is the same Lord for all people. And He has enough treasures to lavish generously upon all who call on Him.

Ephesians 1:7 TPT

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

Colossians 1:5 TPT

Your faith and Love rise within you as you access all the treasures of your inheritance stored up in the Heavenly realm. For the revelation of the True Gospel is as real today as the day you first heard of our glorious hope, now that you have believed in the Truth of the Gospel.

Colossians 3:2 TPT

Yes, feast on all the treasures of the Heavenly realm and fill your thoughts with Heavenly realities, and not with the distractions of the natural realm.

Can you handle wealth with integrity?  If you can, you will become a conduit to bring forth Heavenly treasures to the earth, establishing The Kingdom of GOD.  Think about it, which treasures are you focused on?

Effective, Strategic Prayer

Sunday, November 16th, 2025

GOD has strategically arranged for you as HIS representative of HIS world to be positioned here on earth at this time to make a difference!

Each of us has gifts and a calling Divinely appointed by Our Heavenly Father.  HE co-labors with us to bring forth HIS Kingdom on earth as it is in Heaven.  We have been placed here for such a time as this.

Prayer is an essential part of our lives in receiving our dreams and desires from FATHER.  I wrote about praying for our daily needs yesterday.  We need not use vain repetitions as though we can persuade FATHER to provide our daily needs.

In Matthew chapter 6, Jesus spoke of this type of prayer.  In Matthew chapter 7, He speaks of another type of prayer:

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 (gifts) to those who ask Him!

In other Words, “Ask, and the gift is yours. Seek, and you’ll discover. Knock, and the door will be opened for you.  For every persistent one will get what he asks for. Every persistent seeker will discover what he longs for. And everyone who knocks persistently will one day find an open door.”

Why must we be persistent in this type of prayer?  Our persistence changes us so that we can properly steward the gift we are requesting.

When Jesus gave us the assignment to pray, He never told us to pray to keep us busy.  He did not create prayer as a Christian activity to occupy our time, to occupy our thoughts, or to engage us emotionally knowing that we’ll never see the fulfillment of what we’re praying.

James wrote by The Holy Spirit in his Epistle, James chapter 5:

13 Are there any believers in your fellowship suffering great hardship and distress? Encourage them to pray! Are there happy, cheerful ones among you? Encourage them to sing out their praises!

14 Are there any sick among you? Then ask the elders of the church to come and pray over the sick and anoint them with oil in the name of our Lord.

15 And the prayer of faith will heal the sick and the Lord will raise them up, and if they have committed sins they will be forgiven.

16 Confess and acknowledge how you have offended one another and then pray for one another to be instantly healed, for tremendous power is released through the passionate, heartfelt prayer of a godly believer!

The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much!

The design of prayer comes out of this place where HE says, “Come up here.”  It is an engagement with the Heart of THE FATHER.  We have already been blessed with every Spiritual blessing in Christ in Heavenly places.

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Ephesians chapter 1:

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

In other Words, every spiritual blessing in the Heavenly realm has already been lavished upon us as a Love gift from Our Wonderful Heavenly Father, the Father of our Lord Jesus.  Those spiritual blessings are already in my account.  However, it’s not all in my possession.  Prayer facilitates possession! 

The Christian life is learning to make withdrawals.  As we mature, we will effect change on the earth and bring forth HIS Kingdom.
