My life is nothing without My Lord Jesus Christ living inside of me.  His Love for me empowers me to live!  It is my reasonable service to be fully submitted to HIM and fulfill my calling found in the book written about me in Heaven.

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Romans Chapter 12:

1 Beloved friends, what should be our proper response to God’s marvelous mercies? To surrender yourselves to God to be His Sacred, living sacrifices. And live in Holiness, experiencing all that delights His Heart. For this becomes your genuine expression of worship.

The adversary does not want you or me to fulfill our calling so he will attempt whatever he or his minions can to keep us from this fulfillment.  This has been a constant theme throughout Scripture.  Jesus and Moses were both targeted as babies in the devil’s mass killing attempts.  Since the devil does not have access to the revelation of timing, he can only react to what FATHER is doing.

2 Stop imitating the ideals and opinions of the culture around you, but be inwardly transformed by the Holy Spirit through a total reformation of how you think. This will empower you to discern God’s will as you live a beautiful life, satisfying and perfect in His Eyes.   TPT

You and I are meant to change the culture around us from worldly to Heavenly.  We are to set the Heavenly standard by our actions as we walk out our daily lives as Sacred, living sacrifices.  The fact that FATHER has imparted this revelation means that we are HIS Holy Ones and must not allow the world to influence us any longer.

I have no interest in having an opinion any more but rather I simply want to walk in the Truth found in the Throne Room of Heaven.  I want to delight MY FATHER’S Heart in every situation, every day.  I have experienced the other walk and I assure you that it has no future.  Man’s opinions only serve to divide and this is what is being promoted to a high degree in the current environment.  Why?  The adversary wants to keep us from walking in unity because unity is where the corporate power is.

Moses wrote by The Holy Spirit in Genesis chapter 11:

5 But the LORD came down to look at the city and the tower the people were building. 6 “Look!” he said. “The people are united, and they all speak the same language. After this, nothing they set out to do will be impossible for them! 7 Come, let’s go down and confuse the people with different languages. Then they won’t be able to understand each other.”

8 In that way, the LORD scattered them all over the world, and they stopped building the city. 9 That is why the city was called Babel,[fn] because that is where the LORD confused the people with different languages. In this way he scattered them all over the world.

The adversary utilized a Truth that unity removes impossibilities.  The church needs to do the same.  Moreover the remnant needs to lead the way and be the example for the church.  The Sons and Daughters of GOD are to come forth in full maturity so that we walk in Holy power and authority for all the church to see.  This walk of Holiness will draw all men to Christ.  Soulish church programs and music serve only to keep congregations from ascending toward maturity.  Let us not be lulled to sleep by passiveness in Spiritual matters.  Repent and continue to the ascent to the Holy Mountain!

My life is nothing without My Lord Jesus Christ living inside of me.  His Love for me empowers me to live!

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Galatians chapter 2:

20 My old identity has been co-crucified with Christ and no longer lives. And now the essence of this new life is no longer mine, for the Anointed One lives His life through me—we live in union as one! My new life is empowered by the faith of the Son of God Who loves me so much that He gave Himself for me, dispensing His life into mine!

I seek no identity apart from Christ.  The Holy Spirit is the One Who empowers me to write to you daily for I am no scholar in any area of my life.  He has empowered me to hear and I am truly grateful for that!

Paul further wrote by The Holy Spirit in 1 Corinthians chapter 1:

26 Brothers and sisters, consider who you were when God called you to salvation. Not many of you were wise scholars by human standards, nor were many of you in positions of power. Not many of you were considered the elite when you answered God’s call. 27 But God chose those whom the world considers foolish to shame those who think they are wise, and God chose the puny and powerless to shame the high and mighty. 28 He chose the lowly, the laughable in the world’s eyes—nobodies—so that he would shame the somebodies. For He chose what is regarded as insignificant in order to supersede what is regarded as prominent, 29 so that there would be no place for prideful boasting in God’s presence. 30 For it is not from man that we draw our life but from God as we are being joined to Jesus, the Anointed One. And now He is our God-given wisdom, our virtue, our Holiness, and our redemption. 31 And this fulfills what is written:

If anyone boasts, let him only boast

    in all that the Lord has done!

The world encourages self-promotion whereas we are to identify with Christ and empty ourselves of any other false identity we have promoted in the past.  Those false identities were temporary at best and have no true power behind them.  They were simply misperceptions of who we really are.

Jesus Christ is the only answer to our future so we must empty ourselves of soulishness and worldly opinions in order to take on Christ fully and completely.  The world’s opinions are at best based on half-truths but Christ is based on the full Truth which originates out of Heaven.  Why spend any more time thrashing around with lies when you can walk in Truth and promote peace in your soul?

Yes, this is a broken world and we must contend with demonic influences, often on a daily basis.  However as we walk in THE SPIRIT, we will know exactly how to navigate through every situation.  There will be times when we confront demons head on.  Other times we will be led to skirt the situation without confrontation.  The Holy Spirit will guide us in all situations as we walk as living sacrifices unto Our Heavenly Father.

It is written by The Holy Spirit in Romans Chapter 12:

1 Beloved friends, what should be our proper response to God’s marvelous mercies? To surrender yourselves to God to be His Sacred, living sacrifices. And live in Holiness, experiencing all that delights His Heart. For this becomes your genuine expression of worship.

2 Stop imitating the ideals and opinions of the culture around you, but be inwardly transformed by the Holy Spirit through a total reformation of how you think. This will empower you to discern God’s will as you live a beautiful life, satisfying and perfect in His Eyes.

Once my mindset lines up with the reality that I am nothing without Christ, my intimacy with Christ grows as well as my passion to do only what I am called to do according to the book written about me in Heaven.

FATHER spoke to me and told me that we should include buying coats for the Kids in need. It is all about Love!

100% of your contributions goes to the Kids and we are thankful for your support.

Repent means a change of heart, a change of mind, and a change of life.  All three are required for true repentance!

The church needs to get out of this escapist mentality and repent!  Jesus did not pray and ask FATHER to take Him out of Rome’s grasp.  Instead, Jesus preached the true Gospel with signs following.  We need to expect the same as we embrace our callings as Sons and Daughters of THE MOST HIGH.

Many of us have been unwilling to attend church because we are not interested in “soul food” which is dished out day in and day out.  One cannot find The Holy Spirit in any of those buildings where past revivals occurred.  The fivefold ministry has become passive and complacent rather than fulfilling their calling.

I know one man who is on the pastoral staff of a particular church where he moved farther away so he would have less contact during the week with members of his church.  Out of sight, out of mind.  I say REPENT!

Donald Trump is not the solution for America, Jesus Christ is.

Do you think FATHER winks when you run a red light, or disregard a stop sign?  Do you think having sex out of wedlock has no implications of judgment attached?  Do you think aborting one of FATHER’S children who have books written in Heaven will have no impact on FATHER?  Where are the cries from the pews concerning these little ones?  There has been deafening silence for years.

A male child is born with an X and a Y chromosome.  A female is born with two X chromosomes.  No law will change that reality.  No perverted mind will override FATHER’S Divine Intent.  Why does the church allow such perversion to spread unabated?  Why are drag queens reading books to children in the public libraries which are supported by tax dollars of Christians?

Whatever the church is doing and supporting, it is clearly not working!  It is time to repent and get back to our First Love!

We need to have the mindset of being overcomers and deal directly with the challenges set before us, not cower down in a corner hoping things will get back to “normal”.  Repent!

If black lives matter so much then why are so many black babies being aborted?  This is true for white babies, as well as other ethnic groups.  Repent!

Church has become spectator Christianity where the congregation is entertained and coddled like a baby.  Sin is no longer confronted thus there has been no need for an altar.  The stage has replaced the altar so the band can play loud music with a light show to add to the enjoyment of being entertained.

Unless change sweeps America, judgment will come.  The church must repent and lead the way for change to occur.  It started in the 60’s when prayer was removed from schools.  Children were no longer exposed to GOD on a consistent basis.  This allowed the drug culture to flourish.  Child porn is being exported from the U.S. to other countries.  Drug sales in the U.S. is big business whether legal or not.  Marijuana is being legalized as a means to dumb down the mind so as to accept the current environment of chaos. 

It is time to open our eyes to the current state of unrighteousness prevailing in this country as well as others.  FATHER isn’t blind to what is going on.  Thankfully, there is a remnant keeping full blown judgment from raining down.  How long before judgment is ratcheted up?  I have no idea but I cannot be silent and look the other way as the kids of our generation are being exploited and manipulated into believing lies.

We are to be the salt of the earth.  One of the purposes of salt is to preserve.  In Mark chapter 9, Jesus spoke:

49 “Everyone will pass through the fire and every sacrifice will be seasoned with salt.”

Are you ready to pass through the fire and stand up for righteousness?  If not, repent!

Pray for the awakening of the church.  Pray for the harvesting of the lost.  Now is the time!  America’s greatest days are ahead, but it is time to clean house!

In Mark chapter 11, Jesus found it necessary to “clean house”:

15 When they came into Jerusalem, Jesus went directly into the temple area and overturned all the tables and benches of the merchants who were doing business there. One by one He drove them all out of the temple courts, and they scattered away, including the money changers and those selling doves. 16 And He would not allow them to use the temple courts as a thoroughfare for carrying their merchandise and their furniture.

17 Then He began to teach the people, saying, “Does not the Scripture say, ‘My house will be a house of prayer for all the world to share’? But you have made it a hangout of thieves!”

Let us discern our day of visitation!  It is critical to this time in history.  Have you given everything you have for the Gospel?  If not, repent!  You and I are called to be history changers.  The solutions are found in THE SPIRIT and that is where we must walk on a daily basis.

FATHER, bring forth a fresh Holy fire to the church today!  Wash us afresh with the Blood of Jesus.

What causes compromised immune systems?  When we distance ourselves from FATHER, our immune systems weaken.

We must not allow ourselves to become void of The Word or HIS fellowship.  We must renew our minds daily to guard against becoming void.  I learned this Truth in 1984 when He revealed this reality.  Memorizing a passage and simply regurgitating it is not renewing the mind.  Studying and meditating on the various facets of passages qualifies as renewing the mind.

When you fix the Spiritual issue of immune defense, your body will more readily and effectively use the vitamins and supplements to restore a strong immune system.  This is why I wrote about some primary supplements meant to boost your immunity against bacteria and viruses.

FYI: If you have taken any antibiotics, your gut needs to rebuild good flora as a defense mechanism, antibiotics tend to wipe out all bacteria in the gut.  My wife and I consume yogurt that has a least six live beneficial bacteria listed on the label. Let The Holy Spirit guide you in determining which supplements and how much to consume.  Also, check with your doctor before consuming anything new.  Each of us is unique so I can only share what my wife and I take.  We have both had comprehensive blood tests so we know where we stand physically.

What are you afraid of?  Perfect Love casts out fear.

The word Jesus used in John chapter 14 for “the Comforter” was para- klētos.

Para comes from the word-forming element of Aramaic meaning “defense, protection against; that which protects from.”  Klētos in Aramaic means “the curse”.  The comforter defends and protects you from the curse.  You have resurrection power dwelling on the inside of you.

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Romans chapter 8:

1 So now the case is closed. There remains no accusing voice of condemnation against those who are joined in life-union with Jesus, the Anointed One. 2 For the “law” of the Spirit of life flowing through the anointing of Jesus has liberated us from the “law” of sin and death. 3 For God achieved what the law was unable to accomplish, because the law was limited by the weakness of human nature.

Do not try to reopen the case against you for that case no longer exists.  Trust The Holy Spirit and move on.  There is nothing to fear concerning your old man anymore.  Passionately Love FATHER, Jesus, and The Holy Spirit and you will reach full maturity as a Son or Daughter.  You will begin to see HIS goodness flow through you to others.

The devil depends on you staying ignorant of The Word.  The word ignorant means “unaware, uninformed; lacking knowledge or information.”  This is why FATHER anoints teachers as part of the fivefold ministry- to eliminate ignorance concerning the revelation contained in The Word.  The Word promotes life, health, healing, and restoration.  The devil’s intent is to steal, kill, and/or destroy.  You can simply inspect the fruit of someone and know who their father is.

The Word is our manual for walking out Life.  If we don’t know our manual, how can we minister life to others?  This is why I include so much Scripture in these daily writings.  The manual is the important source for your future.  My responsibility is to point you to the manual and the revelation contained therein.  I rely on The Holy Spirit to guide me daily in these writings so that the readers will move toward a higher level of revelation each day.  The goal is full maturity!  The intended fruit is to expand The Kingdom of God on the earth.

There is no fear when you are perfected in Love.  Do you just want to be a believer or do you want to be a fully mature believer perfected in Love?  Our level of commitment determines which category we will walk in.  Passion for The Word is the difference maker.

FATHER is not in control of a broken world else it would not be broken.  HE assigned us to overcome the broken world and establish the authority of the Heavenly Kingdom by taking real estate from the god of this world.  Quit blaming GOD for failures, issues, etc. of the past.  HE is a Loving FATHER Who only wants the best for each of us.  This is why HE sent His Son… to set the captives free!  HE has provided us with the tools we need to overcome the world thus ultimately ignorance is no excuse.  Lazy and/or casual believers will never become mature Sons and Daughters who can be given full power and authority.  Each of us must make our own decision of which path we take.  Fear cannot motivate our decision, Love must.

What are you afraid of?  Perfect Love casts out fear.

The Beloved Disciple wrote by The Holy Spirit in 1^st John chapter 4:

7 Those who are Loved by God, let His Love continually pour from you to one another, because God is Love. Everyone who Loves is fathered by God and experiences an intimate knowledge of Him. 8 The one who doesn’t Love has yet to know God, for God is Love. 9 The light of God’s Love shined within us when He sent His matchless Son into the world so that we might live through Him. 10 This is Love: He Loved us long before we Loved Him. It was His Love, not ours. He proved it by sending his Son to be the pleasing sacrificial offering to take away our sins.

FATHER’S Love is intertwined in our books so let us pursue the highest revelation of Love in our walk.  We should assess each day to determine if we truly walked in Love or let our soul take a shot at someone who wronged us in some way.

11 Delightfully Loved ones, if He Loved us with such tremendous Love, then “Loving one another” should be our way of life! 12 No one has ever gazed upon the fullness of God’s splendor. But if we Love one another, God makes His permanent home in us, and we make our permanent home in Him, and His Love is brought to its full expression in us. 13 And He has given us his Spirit within us so that we can have the assurance that He lives in us and that we live in Him.

As was consistently walk in Love, FATHER makes HIS permanent home in us.  What a commitment!  Let us not withhold Love from anyone whom we come in contact.

14 Moreover, we have seen with our own eyes and can testify to the Truth that Father God has sent his Son to be the Savior of the world. 15 Those who give thanks that Jesus is the Son of God live in God, and God lives in them. 16 We have come into an intimate experience with God’s Love, and we trust in the Love He has for us.

God is Love! Those who are living in Love are living in God, and God lives through them. 17 By living in God, Love has been brought to its full expression in us so that we may fearlessly face the day of judgment, because all that Jesus now is, so are we in this world. 18 Love never brings fear, for fear is always related to punishment. But Love’s perfection drives the fear of punishment far from our hearts. Whoever walks constantly afraid of punishment has not reached Love’s perfection. 19 Our Love for others is our grateful response to the Love God first demonstrated to us.

Whatever the world dishes out is not a concern to those who fully walk in Love.  We will fearlessly face the day of judgment rather than look to be removed from it.  I will continue to spread the Gospel until FATHER sees fit to remove me from the scene.  There is no failure in spreading the Gospel.  Failure is only experienced by those who are unwilling to listen and accept the Gospel in their lives.

20 Anyone can say, “I Love God,” yet have hatred toward another believer. This makes him a phony, because if you don’t Love a brother or sister, whom you can see, how can you truly Love God, whom you can’t see? 21 For He has given us this command: whoever Loves God must also demonstrate Love to others.

Let no hatred be found among us.  We are to Love our enemies as well as our brothers and sisters.  Our enemies are simply blinded to the Truth.  Let us pray that they see the light before the fullness of their judgment arrives.

What are you afraid of?

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Ephesians chapter 5:

5 Be imitators of God in everything you do, for then you will represent your Father as HIS Beloved Sons and Daughters. 2 And continue to walk surrendered to the extravagant Love of Christ, for He surrendered His life as a sacrifice for us. His great Love for us was pleasing to God, like an aroma of adoration—a sweet healing fragrance.

It is our choice to be imitators of God in EVERTHING we do.  What a privilege given to us because of HIS Love for us.  I surrender my will to HIM in everything, do you?  If not, what are you afraid of?  Do you think that FATHER will ship you off to some remote spot in the world to minister?  If there is no desire in your heart for missionary work, do you think HE will punish you in some way?  Simply trust HIM and get rid of those soulish fears acquired in your past.  Do not fear the unknown for FATHER knows all thus there is no “unknown” to HIM.

It is written by THE SPIRIT in Psalm 2:

2 How dare the nations plan a rebellion.

    Their foolish plots are futile!

2 Look at how the power brokers of the world

    rise up to hold their summit

    as the rulers scheme and confer together

    against Yahweh and his Anointed King, saying:

3 “Let’s come together and break away from the Creator.

    Once and for all let’s cast off these controlling chains

    of God and his Christ!”

4 God-Enthroned merely laughs at them;

    the Sovereign One mocks their madness!

Make no mistake, Father is laughing now at all the futile plots in the world system.  Those plots may be unknown to you and me, but they are known to FATHER WHO lives on the inside of us who passionately Love HIM.

I am not afraid of those plots and neither should you.  The Holy Spirit will navigate us through those nefarious plots and we will carry out our missions on behalf of the Kingdom of GOD.  Our steps are ordered by THE LORD.  There is no failure written in our books so focus on walking out the book written about you.  The Holy Spirit knows the contents and will direct your steps accordingly.

FATHER spoke and then there was a manifestation.  HIS Word comes first and then the physical responds.  The physical always responds to the Spiritual.  This is why we must hear and respond to the Words of The Holy Spirit and THEN expect the physical to respond.  When we embrace the full authority of the Words spoken by The Holy Spirit Who speaks only what FATHER directs, then we are walking in mature faith without any unbelief.

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Romans chapter 10:

17 Faith, then, is birthed in a heart that responds to God’s anointed utterance of the Anointed One.

Our heart is designed to hear those anointed Words spoken to us by The Holy Spirit!  Don’t you know that you and I look like GOD in our spirits?  We were made in HIS Image.  Our bodies don’t because we are physically living in a fallen world.  Our spirits are a new creation in HIS Image.  We are not the Original, we are images of the Original.

Moses wrote by THE SPIRIT in Genesis chapter 1:

26 Then God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.” 27 So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them. 28 Then God blessed them, and God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it; have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over every living thing that moves on the earth.”

Embrace this Truth and your mindset will change thus removing fear hidden in the recesses of your mind.  The reluctance to walk in the full maturity as a Son or Daughter will dissipate.

Perfect Love casts our fear!

What is the point of prayer if you do not expect FATHER to respond by meeting your needs and righteous desires?

Do you think FATHER’S resources are minimal and cannot fulfill every request of HIS children?  There is no scarcity in FATHER’S realm thus HIS abundance is available in the physical realm.  If HE was able to meet the needs of all those people in the Wilderness for forty years, HE can certainly meet the needs of you and me in this age.  Our desires are not to be omitted so what are you afraid of?

It is written by THE SPIRIT in Psalm 91:

14 For here is what the Lord has spoken to me:

    “Because you Loved Me, delighted in Me, and have been loyal to My Name,

    I will greatly protect you.

15 I will answer your cry for help every time you pray,

    and you will feel My presence

    in your time of trouble.

    I will deliver you and bring you honor.

16 I will satisfy you with a full life and with all that I do for you.

    For you will enjoy the fullness of My salvation!”

The word fullness does not mean scarcity in any area.

David wrote by THE SPIRIT in Psalm 37:

1  Don’t follow after the wicked ones or be jealous of their wealth.

    Don’t think for a moment they’re better off than you.

2 They and their short-lived success

    will soon shrivel up and quickly fade away,

    like grass clippings in the hot sun.

3 Keep trusting in the Lord and do what is right in His eyes.

    Fix your heart on the promises of God, and you will dwell in the land,

    feasting on His faithfulness.

4 Find your delight and true pleasure in Yahweh,

    and He will give you what you desire the most.

5 Give God the right to direct your life,

    and as you trust Him along the way,

    you’ll find He pulled it off perfectly!

6 He will appear as your righteousness,

    as sure as the dawning of a new day.

    He will manifest as your justice,

    as sure and strong as the noonday sun.

7 Quiet your heart in His presence

    and wait patiently for Yahweh.

    And don’t think for a moment that the wicked, in their prosperity,

    are better off than you.

The above passage contains a very important directive: Give FATHER the right to direct your life.  Since each of us has free will, we can choose to determine our own path or we can choose to have FATHER fully direct our lives.  We have the choice.  As for me, I choose to have FATHER direct my path totally and it is done by fully submitting to The Holy Spirit on a continuous basis.

Those who don’t choose to be fully led by The Holy Spirit usually have some type of fear as the root cause of resistance.  Why?  They have not yet received the full revelation of FATHER’S Love.  Jesus was and is the full expression of FATHER’S Love and if you will only read and meditate on His Words and acts, you will begin to see what is in FATHER’S Heart for you.  You will see HIS Goodness.

Jesus spoke in John chapter 14:

15 “Loving Me empowers you to obey My commands. 16–17 And I will ask the Father and Me will give you another Savior, the Holy Spirit of Truth, Who will be to you a friend just like Me—and He will never leave you. The world won’t receive Him because they can’t see Him or know Him. But you know Him intimately because He remains with you and will live inside you.

18 “I promise that I will never leave you helpless or abandon you as orphans—I will come back to you! 19 Soon I will leave this world and they will see Me no longer, but you will see Me, because I will live again, and you will come alive too. 20 So when that day comes, you will know that I am living in the Father and that you are one with Me, for I will be living in you. 21 Those who truly love Me are those who obey My commands. Whoever passionately loves Me will be passionately loved by My Father. And I will passionately love him in return and will reveal Myself to him.”

23 Jesus replied, “Loving me empowers you to obey My Word. And My Father will Love you so deeply that WE will come to you and make you OUR dwelling place.

Out of Love, we have been given The Holy Spirit of Truth.  Furthermore, Jesus now lives inside of those who passionately Love Him.  I passionately Love Him, The Holy Spirit, and Our Heavenly FATHER thus THEY ALL DWELL in me!  How do I know for a certainty?  Jesus said so.

When you finally embrace Jesus’ Words, you will submit to THEIR authority and power resulting in fruitfulness beyond the world’s imagination.  You will not only have your needs met totally, you will also be given the desires of your heart.  Who do you think put those desires in your heart in the first place?

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

¹² But those who embraced him and took hold of his name
    he gave authority to become the children of God!

When we fully submit to HIS authority, we have become fully mature as Sons and Daughters.

Luke wrote by The Holy Spirit in chapter 7:

1 Now when He concluded all His sayings in the hearing of the people, He entered Capernaum. 2 And a certain centurion’s servant, who was dear to him, was sick and ready to die. 3 So when he heard about Jesus, he sent elders of the Jews to Him, pleading with Him to come and heal his servant. 4 And when they came to Jesus, they begged Him earnestly, saying that the one for whom He should do this was deserving, 5 “for he loves our nation, and has built us a synagogue.”6 Then Jesus went with them. And when He was already not far from the house, the centurion sent friends to Him, saying to Him, “Lord, do not trouble Yourself, for I am not worthy that You should enter under my roof. 7 Therefore I did not even think myself worthy to come to You. But say the word, and my servant will be healed. 8 For I also am a man placed under authority, having soldiers under me. And I say to one, ‘Go,’ and he goes; and to another, ‘Come,’ and he comes; and to my servant, ‘Do this,’ and he does it.”9 When Jesus heard these things, He marveled at him, and turned around and said to the crowd that followed Him, “I say to you, I have not found such great faith, not even in Israel!” 10 And those who were sent, returning to the house, found the servant well who had been sick.

Mature authority equals great faith!
