The More Of GOD

Sunday, October 26th, 2025

We are to seek the Presence of GOD!

Religion is form without power, routine without relationship.  It is the shell of something that could have life, but it doesn’t.

If you are like me, you want the more of GOD in all areas of your life.  Once you taste the “more” of GOD, you want even more!  I want both quality AND quantity of all things related to HIM.  This is why I have such difficulty in attending a religious service that is void of the power of GOD.

When I was young and immature, I simply enjoyed the milk of The Word.  That was fine for then, but now I thrive on the meat of The Word.  Milk by itself will not bring us to full maturity.

When the power of GOD arrives, your perception changes.  When you taste and see, you simply want more.  Nothing else matters when the power of GOD arrives.

Jesus illustrated the normal Christian life.  There are two Biblical standards for our walk.

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Ephesians chapter 4:

25 Therefore, putting away lying, “Let each one of you speak Truth with his neighbor,” for we are members of one another.

26 “Be angry, and do not sin”: do not let the sun go down on your wrath,

27 nor give place to the devil.

28 Let him who stole steal no longer, but rather let him labor, working with his hands what is good, that he may have something to give him who has need.

29 Let no corrupt word proceed out of your mouth, but what is good for necessary edification, that it may impart grace to the hearers.

30 And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption.

31 Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, clamor, and evil speaking be put away from you, with all malice.

32 And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God in Christ forgave you.

Paul provides us with the expectation of what it means to be led by The Holy Spirit.  Do not grieve The Holy Spirit.  We grieve HIM when we have wrong desires, wrong actions, wrong attitudes, wrong words, when we participate with the inferior, when we participate with evil in any way.

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

19 Do not quench the Holy Spirit.

In other Words, never restrain or put out the fire of the Holy Spirit.  It is critically important for us to live by these two commands. 

Jesus emphasized the ministry of The Holy Spirit as He spoke in John chapter 16:

13 However, when He, the Spirit of Truth, has come, He will guide you into all Truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you things to come.

14 He will glorify Me, for He will take of what is Mine and declare it to you.

15 All things that the Father has are Mine. Therefore I said that He will take of Mine and declare it to you.

The word quench means to extinguish; to put out the light or fire; to bring to an end typically by satisfying; to eliminate; to stop the flow.  I have seen this happen in church services… how sad… I was grieved, I knew there was more for us in the service.

Our character is altered as we are led by The Holy Spirit.  As our character changes, we will participate in the power and flow of The Holy Spirit and minister to others effectively.  We walk in both character and power.

The Beloved Disciple recorded by The Holy Spirit in John chapter 21:

24 I, John, am that disciple who has written these things to testify of the Truth, and we know that what I’ve documented is accurate.

25 Jesus did countless things that I haven’t included here. And if every one of His works were written down and described one by one, I suppose that the world itself wouldn’t have enough room to contain the books that would have to be written!

Jesus never grieved or quenched The Holy Spirit in His 3 ½ years of earthly ministry!  John testified of the results.

Hear Him!

Saturday, October 25th, 2025

We are to reform society to align with The Kingdom of GOD!

As we hear HIS Voice and respond accordingly, we will reform society.  The opinions of men apart from GOD, are inferior and ultimately lead to destruction and servitude.  People disregard what is obvious to those with Wisdom and understanding. 

For example, Artificial Intelligence (AI) is meant to replace critical thinking among students thus reducing their ability to do creative thinking.  Ultimately, they become lazy and of little value to society.  Who will pick up the tab for their unproductive lifestyle?  AI is all about greed, though it may be temporary.

We aree designed to live with purpose and produce good fruit.  We are designed to hear every Word from the Mouth of GOD.

Jesus spoke in Matthew chapter 4:

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

As we do, our faith comes forth and our fruitfulness increases.

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Romans chapter 10:

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

We are designed to hear!  If you are hard of hearing HIM, something needs to change in your life… FATHER is not silent.  Faith, then, is birthed in a heart that responds to God’s anointed Utterance of the Anointed One.

How can you improve your hearing?  You can start by shutting out the noise of the world.  The more you focus on man’s opinion and worldly entertainment, the harder it is to hear what The Holy Spirit is saying.

It is written by The Holy Spirit in 1st Kings chapter 19:

11 Then GOD said, “Go out, and stand on the mountain before the LORD.” And behold, the LORD passed by, and a great and strong wind tore into the mountains and broke the rocks in pieces before the LORD, but the LORD was not in the wind; and after the wind an earthquake, but the LORD was not in the earthquake;

12 and after the earthquake a fire, but the LORD was not in the fire; and after the fire a still small Voice.

FATHER was not speaking through a great wind nor an earthquake.  HE spoke in a quieted and gentle Voice.  People want a great and thunderous Voice to speak to them, overtaking the noise of the world.  Elijah got it… and he responded.

13 So it was, when Elijah heard it, that he wrapped his face in his mantle and went out and stood in the entrance of the cave. Suddenly a Voice came to him, and said, “What are you doing here, Elijah?”

14 And he said, “I have been very zealous for the LORD God of hosts; because the children of Israel have forsaken Your covenant, torn down Your altars, and killed Your prophets with the sword. I alone am left; and they seek to take my life.”

15 Then the LORD said to him: “Go, return on your way to the Wilderness of Damascus; and when you arrive, anoint Hazael as king over Syria.

16 Also you shall anoint Jehu the son of Nimshi as king over Israel. And Elisha the son of Shaphat of Abel Meholah you shall anoint as prophet in your place.

17 It shall be that whoever escapes the sword of Hazael, Jehu will kill; and whoever escapes the sword of Jehu, Elisha will kill.

18 Yet I have reserved seven thousand in Israel, all whose knees have not bowed to Baal, and every mouth that has not kissed him.”

Elijah assumed that he was the last to serve GOD, but he was wrong.  FATHER had prepared Elisha to take his place and continue the office of a prophet.

It is recorded by The Holy Spirit in Psalm chapter 46:

10 “Be still and know (recognize, understand) that I am God. I will be exalted among the nations! I will be exalted in the earth.”

In other Words, surrender your anxiety. Be still and realize that I am God. I am God above all the nations, and I am exalted throughout the whole earth.

When we become still and silent, eliminating the noise around us, we are then prepared to hear FATHER’S Voice.  We must not allow ourselves to be anxious.

In the Bible, “anxious” refers to excessive worry, fear, or concern about the future, often stemming from a lack of trust in God’s sovereignty and plan. It can be understood as a spiritual struggle where the heart and mind are consumed by worldly troubles instead of relying on God’s grace. Scripture encourages believers to overcome anxiety by casting their cares on God and trusting in His provision and peace, rather than succumbing to fear and uncertainty.

Be still and be at peace… then your hearing will improve.

Seek His Light

Friday, October 24th, 2025

Arise and shine, our light grows brighter as the Glory of THE LORD is risen upon you!

Let us constantly set our hope IN CHRIST and not on things of the world.

It is written by The Holy Spirit in Isaiah chapter 60:

4 “Lift up your eyes all around, and see: They all gather together, they come to you; Your sons shall come from afar, And your daughters shall be nursed at your side.

5 Then you shall see and become radiant, And your heart shall swell with joy; Because the abundance of the sea (of humanity) shall be turned to you, The wealth of the Gentiles shall come to you.

This wealth includes: armies, virtues, strength, might, power, riches, and/or goods.  FATHER will see to it that you have sufficiency in every area required for your individual calling to be fulfilled.  In some cases, it has already begun.  Be not dismayed if you have yet to see the manifestation.  Don’t be discouraged.

The real wealth is people!  They will be led by The Holy Spirit to provide resources to further The Kingdom.  Focus on people, not things.

When our heart swells with joy, it will tremble and be enlarged.  There is a connection between trembling of the Fear of THE LORD and extreme joy.  In the Kingdom, they are very closely related.

It is written by The Holy Spirit in Psalm 2:

11 Serve the LORD with fear, And rejoice with trembling.

In other Words, serve and worship the Awe-inspiring God. Recognize His greatness and bow before Him, trembling with reverence in His Presence.

When FATHER is talking about the abundance of the sea, HE is referring to the harvest.

We are to take our place and shine.  We know how to take our place… how do we shine?

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

4 A fountain of Life was in him (Jesus), for His Life is light for all humanity.

5 And this Light never fails to shine through darkness—Light that darkness could not overcome!

Jesus IS the Light, there is not another light coming.  We have no excuse to wait for something else to happen.  HIS Light is meant to be manifested in us!  When you arise in the Glory that THE LORD has placed in your life, it attracts the Glory of THE LORD where it will actually be seen over you. 

Anything in the Kingdom that is stewarded well, increases.  To him who has, much more will be given.

Jesus spoke this encompassing Truth in Matthew chapter 13:

10 And the disciples came and said to Him, “Why do You speak to them in parables?”

11 He answered and said to them, “Because it has been given to you to know the mysteries of the Kingdom of Heaven, but to them it has not been given.

12 For whoever has, to him more will be given, and he will have abundance; but whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him.

The opposite is true.  If you treasure things that are wrong, it will attract as well.  If you don’t have a standard of morality, immoral things will attract you.  Like attracts like!  Be watchful in this regard.

Jesus spoke in Mark chapter 4:

24 Then He said to them, “Take heed what you hear. With the same measure you use, it will be measured to you; and to you who hear, more will be given.

We must guard our hearing and not allow unwanted words or actions to be attracted to us.  Again, if you are bitter, you will attract and reinforce more bitterness.  Whatever you treasure, you attract!

As we seek His Light, His Light will arise over us and His Glory will be seen upon us.

Our Light Will Prevail

Thursday, October 23rd, 2025

Expect a greater light than the darkness coming upon the earth!

Do you think that FATHER is unaware of the plots of evil men around the globe?  Do you think that the deep state will prevail over mankind?

It is recorded by The Holy Spirit in Psalm chapter 2:

1 Why do the nations rage, And the people plot a vain thing?

2 The kings of the earth set themselves, And the rulers take counsel together, Against the LORD and against His Anointed, saying,

3 “Let us break Their bonds in pieces And cast away Their cords from us.”

4 He Who sits in the heavens shall laugh; The Lord shall hold them in derision.

5 Then He shall speak to them in His wrath, And distress them in His deep displeasure:

Men can plot and devise wickedness all day long but, in the end, it will be to no avail.  They will attempt to cause fear among the multitudes so that they will submit to their plans.  We are instructed over 365 times in Scripture: Fear not!

7 Jesus then speaks:

“I will reveal the Eternal purpose of God. For He has decreed over Me, ‘You are my favored Son. And as your Father I have crowned you as my King Eternal. Today I became your Father.

8 Ask Me to give you the nations and I will do it, and they shall become Your legacy. Your domain will stretch to the ends of the earth.

9 And You will shepherd them with unlimited authority, crushing their rebellion as an iron rod smashes jars of clay!’ ”

Now, the warning comes forth:

10 The Holy Spirit speaks:

 “Listen to Me, all you rebel kings and all you upstart judges of the earth. Learn your lesson while there’s still time.

11 Serve and worship the Awe-inspiring God. Recognize His greatness and bow before Him, trembling with reverence in His Presence.

12 Fall facedown before Him and kiss the Son before His anger is roused against you. Remember that His wrath can be quickly kindled! But many blessings are waiting for all who turn aside to hide themselves In Him!”

Those of us who walk in the Fear of THE LORD will be blessed as we establish the Kingdom of GOD in the earth.  FATHER has committed to give Jesus the nations of the earth and that is an irrevocable commitment.  As Sons and Daughters, we too have this commitment to rely on as we walk out our individual callings.

It is written by The Holy Spirit in Isaiah chapter 60:

1 “Rise up in splendor and be radiant, for your light has dawned, and YAHWEH’s glory now streams from you!

2 Look carefully! Darkness blankets the earth, and thick clouds covers the nations, but YAHWEH arises upon you and the brightness of His glory appears over you!

3 Nations will be attracted to your radiant light and kings to the sunrise-glory of your new day.

4 “Lift up your eyes all around, and see: They all gather together, they come to you; Your sons shall come from afar, And your daughters shall be nursed at your side.

Are you ready to walk in such light and splendor?  The darkness that is spreading across the earth will not prevail because the Glory of THE LORD will counter the darkness and prevail.  HIS anointing will immerse us so that men will be attracted to the Light and seek HIS Presence.

Jesus spoke in John chapter 4:

35 Do you not say, ‘There are still four months and then comes the harvest’? Behold, I say to you, lift up your eyes and look at the fields, for they are already white for harvest!

36 And he who reaps receives wages, and gathers fruit for Eternal life, that both he who sows and he who reaps may rejoice together.

37 For in this the saying is true: ‘One sows and another reaps.’

38 I sent you to reap that for which you have not labored; others have labored, and you have entered into their labors.”

A great harvest is at hand.  Those of us who are pressing in will be rewarded with our participation of this event.  We are not moved by the kings who plot against GOD’S plan for they will not prevail.  Our light will overtake their darkness!

Irrevocable means Irrevocable!

Wednesday, October 22nd, 2025

Do not allow regret to enter into your thinking!

FATHER completely understands our humanity including our failures in the past.  Consider the Jews.  They have a history of failures, rejections, etc.  However, Paul addresses their condition.

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Romans chapter 11:

26 And then God will bring all of Israel to salvation! The prophecy will be fulfilled that says: “Coming from Zion will be the Savior, and He will turn Jacob away from evil.

27 For this is My covenant promise with them when I forgive their sins.”

28 Now, many of the Jews are opposed to the Gospel, but their opposition has opened the door of the Gospel to you who are not Jewish. Yet they are still greatly Loved by God because their ancestors were Divinely chosen to be His.

29 And when God chooses someone and graciously imparts gifts to him, they are never rescinded.

In other Words, they are irrevocable!

30 You who are not Jews were once rebels against God, but now, because of their disobedience, you have experienced God’s tender mercies.

31 And now they are the rebels, and because of God’s tender mercies to you, you can open the door to them to share in and enjoy what God has given to us!

32 Actually, God considers all of humanity to be prisoners of their unbelief, so that He can unlock our hearts and show His tender mercies to all who come to

Him.

Paul, a Jew and a former enemy of Christ, knows firsthand the great grace and mercy of GOD.  We must not allow the past to determine our mindset.  After all, a Jew wrote roughly 2/3 of the New Testament.

Paul also wrote in 1st Corinthians chapter 3:

16 Do you not know that you are the Temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?

17 If anyone defiles the Temple of God, God will destroy him. For the Temple of God is Holy, which Temple you are.

18 Let no one deceive himself. If anyone among you seems to be wise in this age, let him become a fool that he may become Wise.

19 For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, “He catches the wise in their own craftiness”;

20 and again, “The LORD knows the thoughts of the wise, that they are futile.”

Men who claim to be wise in their opinions will deceive those who are in bondage to the world and their perceptions.

21 Therefore let no one boast in men. For all things are yours:

22 whether Paul or Apollos or Cephas, or the world or life or death, or things present or things to come-all are yours.

23 And you are Christ’s, and Christ is God’s.

Notice that Paul left out any reference to the past in verse 22.  Why?  The precious Blood of Jesus took care of our past… totally!  Let us not dwell on the past.

If He can take care of our past, what makes us think He can’t do the same for the Jewish nation?  There is a replacement Theology that has been spreading throughout the globe.  There are many claims that the physical nation of Israel has been replaced by a “spiritual nation of Jews”.  As for me, I will not go against FATHER’S irrevocable promises to the literal nation of Israel.  It is clearly above my pay grade to challenge HIS Divine Intent expressed in HIS Word.  My focus is to become fully mature in my gifts and calling that are also irrevocable.

Maintaining The Proper Mindset

Tuesday, October 21st, 2025

As we mature in Christ, we must maintain the proper mindset!

When people see and experience the supernatural power of GOD, many will exalt and heap praises on the vessel who was used.  We must resist such accolades and point them to Christ and Our Heavenly Father.

Jesus spoke in John 15:

7 But if you live in life-union with Me and if My Eords live powerfully within you—then you can ask whatever you desire and it will be done.

8 When your lives bear abundant fruit, you demonstrate that you are My mature disciples who glorify My Father!

Those who are mature in Christ will produce abundant fruit in all areas, including healing and deliverance.

Jesus had to correct the seventy who successfully returned from such ministry.

Jesus spoke in Luke chapter 10:

1 After these things the Lord appointed seventy others also, and sent them two by two before His Face into every city and place where He Himself was about to go.

2 Then He said to them, “The harvest truly is great, but the laborers are few; therefore pray the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest.

3 Go your way; behold, I send you out as lambs among wolves.

4 Carry neither money bag, knapsack, nor sandals; and greet no one along the road. 5 But whatever house you enter, first say, ‘Peace to this house.’

6 And if a son of peace is there, your peace will rest on it; if not, it will return to you.

7 And remain in the same house, eating and drinking such things as they give, for the laborer is worthy of his wages. Do not go from house to house.

8 Whatever city you enter, and they receive you, eat such things as are set before you.

9 And heal the sick there, and say to them, ‘The Kingdom of God has come near to you.’

The seventy missionaries returned after fulfilling Jesus’ instructions.

17 Then the seventy returned with joy, saying, “Lord, even the demons are subject to us in Your Name.”

18 And He said to them, “I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven.

19 Behold, I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you.

20 Nevertheless do not rejoice in this, that the spirits are subject to you, but rather rejoice because your names are written in Heaven.”

We are to exalt Christ for all the righteous fruit we produce in His Name!  We must take our identity in Christ, not the problem or its resolution.  Jesus was never moved by the size of the problem.

The disciples were feeling pretty good about themselves until they failed to cast out a particular demon.

Mark recorded by The Holy Spirit in Mark chapter 9:

17 Then one of the crowd answered and said, “Teacher, I brought You my son, who has a mute spirit.

18 And wherever it seizes him, it throws him down; he foams at the mouth, gnashes his teeth, and becomes rigid. So I spoke to Your disciples, that they should cast it out, but they could not.”

19 Jesus answered him and said, “O faithless generation, how long shall I be with you? How long shall I bear with you? Bring him to Me.”

20 Then they brought him to Him. And when he saw Him, immediately the spirit convulsed him, and he fell on the ground and wallowed, foaming at the mouth.

The demon did not intimidate Jesus.

21 So He asked his father, “How long has this been happening to him?” And he said, “From childhood.

22 And often he has thrown him both into the fire and into the water to destroy him. But if You can do anything, have compassion on us and help us.”

23 Jesus said to him, “If you can believe, all things are possible to him who believes.”

24 Immediately the father of the child cried out and said with tears, “Lord, I believe; help my unbelief!”

Jesus did not require the man to have great faith and was not moved by the man’s unbelief.  He dealt with the issue anyway.

25 When Jesus saw that the people came running together, He rebuked the unclean spirit, saying to it: “Deaf and dumb spirit, I command you, come out of him and enter him no more!”

26 Then the spirit cried out, convulsed him greatly, and came out of him. And he became as one dead, so that many said, “He is dead.”

27 But Jesus took him by the hand and lifted him up, and he arose.

Jesus had no problem in casting out the demon.

28 And when He had come into the house, His disciples asked Him privately, “Why could we not cast it out?”

29 So He said to them, “This kind can come out by nothing but prayer and fasting.”

Fasting indicates that our lives must be saturated with the Presence of GOD in order to conquer the evil that is in the world and hiding in the hearts of mankind.  Fasting is much more than just starving yourself.  Our priority is to remove any hindrance that would keep us from entering into HIS Presence.

Displaying Who HE Is

Monday, October 20th, 2025

The Lord is interested in displaying Who He is!

Men are unable to deny the Power of GOD when they see miracles.  Miracles empower our hope and expectations of further supernatural displays of Who HE is.

Mark recorded by The Holy Spirit in Mark chapter 6:

54 The moment they got out of the boat, everyone recognized that it was Jesus, the healer!

55 So they ran throughout the region, telling the people, “Bring all the sick—even those too sick to walk and bring them on mats!”

56 Wherever he went, in the countryside, villages, or towns, they placed the sick on mats in the streets or in public places and begged Him, saying, “Just let us touch the tassel of Your prayer shawl!” And all who touched Him were instantly healed!

Jesus testified of Who FATHER is by His Words, actions, and results.  The people expected Jesus to heal their sick, so they went throughout the region to gather the people.  When people realize that miracles will come forth, they drop everything to go wherever it is happening.  When the manifested Presence of GOD showed up at Azusa Street in 1906-1908, people came from all over the world to experience this revival.  They were not disappointed.

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in 1st Corinthians chapter 2:

5 For God intended that your faith not be established on man’s wisdom but by trusting in His Almighty power.

The wisdom of this age is coming to nothing.  Why?  When the manifested Presence of GOD shows up, no man will remain standing.

It is recorded by The Holy Spirit in 1st Kings chapter 8:

10 Now it happened that when the priests had come out of the Holy Place, the cloud filled the LORD’S house,

11 so the priests could not stand [in their positions] to minister because of the cloud, for the glory and brilliance of the LORD had filled the LORD’S house (temple).

And what happened to Paul when Jesus showed up on the road to Damascus?

Luke recorded by The Holy Spirit in Acts chapter 9:

3 So Saul (who was Paul) obtained the authorization and left for Damascus. Just outside the city, a brilliant light flashing from heaven suddenly exploded all around him.

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

The Glory of GOD is the manifested Presence of THE LORD.  As we draw close to THE LORD and are transformed, we are able to stand in HIS Presence.

Paul recorded by The Holy Spirit in 2nd Corinthians chapter 3:

18 We can all draw close to Him with the veil removed from our faces. And with no veil we all become like mirrors who brightly reflect the glory of The Lord Jesus. We are being transfigured into His very Image as we move from one brighter level of glory to another. And this glorious transfiguration comes from The Lord, Who is the Spirit.

As we are being transformed, we should expect the miraculous to occur in ministry which will be a testimony of Jesus Christ.  This will draw both men and women unto HIM and bring forth an increase of the Kingdom of GOD on the earth.

An hour in HIS Presence will do more than a year of church life.  When this occurs, HE is summoning us to something higher and more significant.

And in 1st Corinthians chapter 2:

9 But as it is written: “Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, Nor have entered into the heart of man The things which God has prepared for those who Love Him.“

10 But God has revealed them to us through His Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God.

When HIS Glory shows up, the deep things of GOD are revealed to us who Love HIM.  Many mysteries of GOD have been held for this time and are now being given to us by The Holy Spirit according to HIS purpose.  He has the keys to the secrets and the mysteries… the deep things of THE FATHER.  HE is revealing WHO HE is to those who are mature and will reflect HIS Glory to those who they encounter.

Trusting His Power

Sunday, October 19th, 2025

The Power of GOD is what persuades people to become believers, not our intellect!

Being led by The Holy Spirit will shape our thoughts and future actions.  Pursuing other avenues without being led by The Holy Spirit is simply a waste of time and resources.  Is it better to rely on your intellect or being led by The Holy Spirit?  Paul came to the realization that his intellect was grossly subordinate to knowing and following Christ.

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Philippians chapter 3:

3 For we have already experienced “heart-circumcision,” and we worship God in the power and freedom of the Holy Spirit, not in laws and religious duties. We are those who boast in what Jesus Christ has done, and not in what we can accomplish in our own strength.

All accolades belong to Jesus Christ!

4 It’s true that I once relied on all that I had become. I had a reason to boast and impress people with my accomplishments—more than others—for my pedigree was impeccable.

Paul admits his ego was inflated by all his accomplishments, yet he had been an enemy of Christ.  His ego had put him on a path of being totally wrong.  He shares how wrong he had been.  His exceptional schooling did not move him to the Truth.

5 I was born a true Hebrew of the heritage of Israel as the son of a Jewish man from the tribe of Benjamin. I was circumcised eight days after my birth and was raised in the strict tradition of Orthodox Judaism, living a separated and devout life as a Pharisee.

6 And concerning the righteousness of the Torah, no one surpassed me; I was without a peer. Furthermore, as a fiery defender of the truth, I persecuted the messianic believers with religious zeal.

Paul came to the realization:

7 Yet all of the accomplishments that I once took credit for, I’ve now forsaken them and I regard it all as nothing compared to the delight of experiencing Jesus Christ as my Lord!

The past without Christ being at the center is worthless!

8 To truly know Him meant letting go of everything from my past and throwing all my boasting on the garbage heap. It’s all like a pile of manure to me now, so that I may be enriched in the reality of knowing Jesus Christ and embrace him as Lord in all of His greatness.

The world would have us focus on past achievements and boast about them to impress others.  All that does is infer superiority over others.  Paul was humbled when he first encountered THE LORD.  Being struck with blindness and falling to the ground will immediately change your mindset.

9 My passion is to be consumed with Him and not cling to my own “righteousness” based in keeping the written Law. My only “righteousness” will be His, based on the faithfulness of Jesus Christ—the very righteousness that comes from God.

10 And I continually long to know the wonders of Jesus and to experience the overflowing power of His resurrection working in me. I will be one with Him in His sufferings and become like Him in his death.

11 Only then will I be able to experience complete oneness with Him in His resurrection from the realm of death.

Are you consumed with Jesus yet?

12 I admit that I haven’t yet acquired the absolute fullness that I’m pursuing, but I run with passion into His abundance so that I may reach the purpose for which Christ Jesus laid hold of me to make me His own.

13 I don’t depend on my own strength to accomplish this; however I do have one compelling focus: I forget all of the past as I fasten my heart to the future instead.

14 I run straight for the Divine invitation of reaching the Heavenly goal and gaining the victory-prize through the anointing of Jesus.

15 So let all who are fully mature have this same passion, and if anyone is not yet gripped by these desires, God will reveal it to them.

16 And let us all advance together to reach this victory-prize, following one path with one passion.

As our mindset is renewed, our passion for Christ and our Heavenly purpose will consume us so that we will become fully mature in Christ.  We will trust in HIS power to bring forth new believers, not our persuasive intellect.

Expecting The Supernatural

Saturday, October 18th, 2025

Our lives are no more transformed than is our mind renewed.

Once again, the measuring rod of personal transformation is the transformation of the mind.  Every miracle introduces us to the reality of an unseen world and that introduction is to shape all further thoughts.

When a miracle takes place such as a supernatural healing, THE LORD is exposing us to more than another story, HE’S exposing us to the supernatural activity of The Holy Spirit that can be perceived by a yielded heart.

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Romans chapter 6:

13 So then, refuse to answer its call to surrender your body as a tool for wickedness. Instead, passionately answer God’s call to keep yielding your body to Him as one who has now experienced resurrection life! You live now for His pleasure, ready to be used for his noble purpose.

16 Don’t you realize that grace frees you to choose your own master? But choose carefully, for you surrender yourself to become a servant—bound to the one you choose to obey. If you choose to love sin, it will become your master, and it will own you and reward you with death. But if you choose to Love and obey God, He will lead you into perfect righteousness.

19 I’ve used the familiar terms of a “servant” and a “master” to compensate for your weakness to understand. For just as you surrendered your bodies and souls to impurity and lawlessness, which only brought more lawlessness into your lives, so now surrender yourselves as servants of righteousness, which brings you deeper into true Holiness.

In our world, we have natural and supernatural.  In FATHER’S world, HE only has natural.  The miracles are meant to shape our expectations of future situations.  As we fully surrender, walking in righteousness and Holiness, we position ourselves to walk in the supernatural.  We are privileged to seek and access The Kingdom of GOD that knows no impossibility.

Jesus spoke in Matthew chapter 6:

33 “So above all, constantly seek God’s Kingdom and His righteousness, then all these less important things will be given to you abundantly.

The angel Gabriel spoke to Mary in Luke chapter 1:

37 Not one promise from God is empty of power. Nothing is impossible with God!”

Mary surrendered to The Word of THE LORD and the rest is history!

Paul emphasized the importance of trusting in the Almighty power of GOD as he wrote by The Holy Spirit in 1st Corinthians chapter 2:

3 I stood before you feeling inadequate, filled with reverence for God, and trembling under the sense of the importance of my words.

4 The message I preached and how I preached it was not an attempt to sway you with persuasive arguments but to prove to you the Almighty power of God’s Holy Spirit.

5 For God intended that your faith not be established on man’s wisdom but by trusting in His Almighty power.

Intellectuals will present the written Word, but without the power of The Holy Spirit.  It is The Holy Spirit Who leads us into all Truth, not man’s intellectual prowess.

Jesus affirmed this when He spoke in John chapter 16:

12 “I still have many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now.

13 However, when He, the Spirit of Truth, has come, He will guide you into all Truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you things to come.

14 He will glorify Me, for He will take of what is Mine and declare it to you.

15 All things that the Father has are Mine. Therefore I said that He will take of Mine and declare it to you.

As we are guided by The Holy Spirit into all Truth, our minds will be transformed and the supernatural will become natural to us.  The miraculous will no longer be the exception.

Focus On The Unseen

Friday, October 17th, 2025

Repentance is a way of Life!

Repentance is engaging with the Mind of Christ; it’s embracing His thoughts, His values, His perception, and learning how to walk in that frame of mind.  It is that frame of mind that positions me to obey with great victory and great impact.

Our lives are no more transformed than is our mind renewed.

The measuring rod of personal transformation is the transformation of the mind.

Many churches have relegated their Sunday morning message to a 30-minute message designed to deliver only the milk of The Word… the pastors have become milkmen. 

It is written by The Holy Spirit in Hebrews chapter 5:

12 For though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you again the first principles of the oracles of God; and you have come to need milk and not solid food.

13 For everyone who partakes only of milk is unskilled in the Word of righteousness, for he is a babe.

14 But solid food belongs to those who are of full age, that is, those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.

What was Jesus’ mindset in teaching The Word?

Matthew recorded by The Holy Spirit in Matthew chapter 15:

32 Jesus called His disciples to Himself and said, “I care deeply about all these people, for they’ve already been with Me for three days without food. I don’t want to send them away fasting or else they may be overcome by weakness on their journey home.”

That is what I call a camp meeting!

Repentance introduces you to the Mind of Christ.  Repentance places you in the flow of His thinking, His perceptions.  His value system is completely different than ours.  This is why we must focus on being transformed to His way of thinking by the renewing of our minds by both reading The Word and hearing FATHER speak so that we can see from His perspective. 

Every miracle introduces us to the reality of an unseen world.

It is written by The Holy Spirit in Hebrews chapter 11:

1 Now faith brings our hopes into reality and becomes the foundation needed to acquire the things we long for. It is all the evidence required to prove what is still unseen.

And Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in 2nd Corinthians chapter 4:

16 Therefore we do not lose heart. Even though our outward man is perishing, yet the inward man is being renewed day by day.

17 For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, is working for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory,

18 while we do not look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporary, but the things which are not seen are Eternal.

Until the unseen world is more real than the temporary, seen world in your mindset, you will limit your spiritual maturity.  We need to be more spiritually mature than a donkey.

Moses recorded by THE SPIRIT in Numbers chapter 22:

22 Then God’s anger was aroused because he went, and the Angel of the LORD took His stand in the way as an adversary against him. And he was riding on his donkey, and his two servants were with him.

23 Now the donkey saw the Angel of the LORD standing in the way with His drawn sword in His hand, and the donkey turned aside out of the way and went into the field. So Balaam struck the donkey to turn her back onto the road.

25 And when the donkey saw the Angel of the LORD, she pushed herself against the wall and crushed Balaam’s foot against the wall; so he struck her again.

27 And when the donkey saw the Angel of the LORD, she lay down under Balaam; so Balaam’s anger was aroused, and he struck the donkey with his staff.

When is the last time you had a conversation with an Ass (KJV)?

28 Then the LORD opened the mouth of the donkey, and she said to Balaam, “What have I done to you, that you have struck me these three times?”

29 And Balaam said to the donkey, “Because you have abused me. I wish there were a sword in my hand, for now I would kill you!”

30 So the donkey said to Balaam, “Am I not your donkey on which you have ridden, ever since I became yours, to this day? Was I ever disposed to do this to you?” And he said, “No.”

31 Then the LORD opened Balaam’s eyes, and he saw the Angel of the LORD standing in the way with His drawn sword in His hand; and he bowed his head and fell flat on his face.

34 And Balaam said to the Angel of the LORD, “I have sinned, for I did not know You stood in the way against me. Now therefore, if it displeases You, I will turn back.”

35 Then the Angel of the LORD said to Balaam, “Go with the men, but only the Word that I speak to you, that you shall speak.” So Balaam went with the princes of Balak.

There is a lesson to be learned!
