Do not be denied the revelation of Christ and the power of His resurrection in you!  The Sons and Daughters of GOD are meant to walk in its fullness as a bright light to the nations.

As I wrote in the last blog, Paul explained in Colossians chapter 1 that we:

Already have the inheritance of Christ (v12

We have already been delivered from darkness (v 13)

We have already been translated into the Kingdom of HIS dear Son (v 13)

We have already have redemption (v14)

We have already been reconciled (v 21-22)

We already have Christ in us, the hope of glory (v 27)

The hope of glory gives us the key to an expectation of glory.  Religious teaching would have us believe that this glory will only manifest once we get to Heaven.  However, Jesus expects to see us walk in this glory on earth else He would not have given us the great commission to walk in His Glory and do greater things.  Because we have already been given the hidden treasure in our spirit, we can truly have hope of full revelation which will allow us to operate in His Glory.

Paul then wrote by The Holy Spirit in Colossians chapter 2:

6 In the same way you received Jesus our Lord and Messiah by faith, continue your journey of faith, progressing further into your union with Him! 7 Your spiritual roots go deeply into His life as you are continually infused with strength, encouraged in every way. For you are established in the faith you have absorbed and enriched by your devotion to Him!

8 Beware that no one distracts you or intimidates you in their attempt to lead you away from Christ’s fullness by pretending to be full of wisdom when they’re filled with endless arguments of human logic. For they operate with humanistic and clouded judgments based on the mindset of this world system, and not the Anointed Truths of the Anointed One.

9 For He is the complete fullness of Deity living in human form. 10 And our own completeness is now found in Him. We are completely filled with God as Christ’s fullness overflows within us. He is the Head of every kingdom and authority in the universe!

We are to walk in the overflowing fullness of Christ within us!  My past immaturity and wrong teachings I embraced caused me to miss this revelation to a certain degree.  Now is the time to walk in this revelation.  The world in its current state desperately needs us to walk in this revelation in an overflowing manner.

11 Through our union with him we have experienced circumcision of heart. All of the guilt and power of sin has been cut away and is now extinct because of what Christ, the Anointed One, has accomplished for us.

12 For we’ve been buried with Him into his death. Our “baptism into death” also means we were raised with Him when we believed in God’s resurrection power, the power that raised Him from death’s realm. 13 This “realm of death” describes our former state, for we were held in sin’s grasp. But now, we’ve been resurrected out of that “realm of death” never to return, for we are forever alive and forgiven of all our sins!

14 He canceled out every legal violation we had on our record and the old arrest warrant that stood to indict us. He erased it all—our sins, our stained soul—He deleted it all and they cannot be retrieved! Everything we once were in Adam has been placed onto his cross and nailed permanently there as a public display of cancellation.

15 Then Jesus made a public spectacle of all the powers and principalities of darkness, stripping away from them every weapon and all their spiritual authority and power to accuse us. And by the power of the cross, Jesus led them around as prisoners in a procession of triumph. He was not their prisoner; they were His!

Past religious teachings led us to believe that “we are sinners saved by grace”… not true.  We have Christ in us, the hope of Glory.  Our case is closed as Paul stated by The Holy Spirit here and 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.

We have already been totally exonerated from our past by the Blood of Christ and the power of His resurrection.  His Blood was sufficient for all our sins- past, present, and future.  Jesus is not going back to the cross.

Do not be denied the revelation of Christ and the power of His resurrection in you!  The Sons and Daughters of GOD are meant to walk in its fullness as a bright light to the nations.

The adversary’s primary mission is to keep you from this revelation and he does this by deception.  His primary weapons are to get you to walk in the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life.  Any combination will suffice in his attempts of deception. 

It all started in the Garden of Eden.  Adam and Eve were created in the likeness of GOD yet the devil wanted to convince them otherwise.  Since Adam and Eve had daily walks with GOD, she could have inquired of HIM concerning her interaction with the adversary.  She didn’t.  Neither did Adam so they both allowed the deception to enter in.  We know how that worked out as the world is still dealing with this deception in a widespread fashion.

Paul contended against those who were (and are) being used of the devil and his minions concerning the power of Christ’s revelation.  Paul himself had firsthand experience in dealing with this deception but was given the revelation of the power of Christ’s resurrection by Jesus.

Paul first explained in Colossians chapter 1 that we:

Already have the inheritance of Christ (v12

We have already been delivered from darkness (v 13)

We have already been translated into the Kingdom of HIS dear Son (v 13)

We have already have redemption (v14)

We have already been reconciled (v 21-22)

We already have Christ in us, the hope of glory (v 27)

Paul then wrote by The Holy Spirit in Colossians chapter 2:

2 I wish you could know how much I have struggled for you and for the church in Laodicea, and for the many other friends I’ve yet to meet. 2 I am contending for you that your hearts will be wrapped in the comfort of Heaven and woven together into Love’s fabric. This will give you access to all the riches of God as you experience the revelation of God’s great mystery—Christ.

Paul wants us to access something we already have yet he must contend with the deception promoted by the adversary through the world’s religious teachings.  These deceptions are well-rooted in the souls of men and can only be plucked up and removed by the revelation Paul is speaking from. 

It is vital to our full spiritual maturity that we completely immerse ourselves in these Words from Paul for they were given to him by The Holy Spirit.  These are hidden treasures waiting to be revealed for our sustained use as he expresses in the following verse:

3 For our spiritual wealth is in Him, like hidden treasure waiting to be discovered—heaven’s Wisdom and endless riches of revelation knowledge.

This hidden treasure is already in us awaiting access.  Full immersion in HIS Word is what’s required to access this revelation.  We cannot casually read Colossians chapter 1 and 2 expecting such a great revelation.  Digging up past roots of religious teaching which go deep takes serious effort.  Are you willing to make the effort?  As for me and my wife, we are willing and committed.

People expend much time and resources looking for substantiated hidden treasures.  Jesus deposited this hidden treasure in us and Paul affirms that it is there waiting for our discovery of it.  Because he is “contending”, there is great resistance to its discovery.  However, I will not be denied.  What about you?

4 I want you to know this so that no one will come and lead you into error through their persuasive arguments and clever words. 5 Even though I’m separated from you geographically, my spirit is present there with you. And I’m overjoyed to see how disciplined and deeply committed you are because you have such a solid faith in Christ, the Anointed One.

Paul shares the critical nature of receiving this revelation.  Once we have full understanding of what we already have, we are no longer subject to the persuasive arguments and clever words of error being promoted by religion and the world.

Do you really trust FATHER’S plan for your life?

One of our beloved sisters expressed appreciation for the testimony I shared in the financial area and asked me to share some more with the readers.

In 1995, all was going well until March.  Suddenly, the revenue from my business abruptly dried up.  When I went to FATHER, HE told me that I had entered the wilderness and I knew immediately it would be for eighteen months.  My wife and I braced for it as best we could.  No matter what I did, I could not produce revenue.

At the time, I awoke each morning at 5 AM and prayed for at least one hour… mostly in Tongues.  There were mornings that time extended to 2 to 3 hours.  Why not, I wasn’t going to generate income when I arrived at the office.

Months went by and we were using our savings to stay afloat.  It got to the point where my wife cried and asked “Why is FATHER doing this to us?”  I reassured her that this was a test of faith.  It looked like we would file bankruptcy if something didn’t change soon.

In the spring of 1996, about twelve months into the wilderness adventure, my wife had a dream about a property we had purchased back in the early 1980’s.  In the dream, she was given a specific price we were to ask for the property.  She wanted to build her dream beach house on the property so I had not brought up the possibility of liquidating the property.

The dream occurred on Thursday night and she woke up and told me we were to sell the property for the price in the dream.  We had received a flyer from a real estate agent in the area so on that day I called her and told her of our decision to sell.  When I told her the price, she said that it was well above the market.  Nonetheless, she would price it accordingly.  It was the off season with very little traffic in the area, not the ideal time in the natural to sell property.

The next morning (Saturday) she placed a sign on the property and as she was walking away, a man showed up and asked the price.  When she told him, he indicated that he wanted to buy it.  We had not even signed the real estate agreement with her.

At closing, the man commented, “I know I am paying too much for this property but I just want it.”  The money from the sale took care of us until the eighteen months was completed.  Soon afterward, revenue began to flow again and has not been an issue since.  Yes, my faith in HIS Word was tested.

It is written 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.”

The sale occurred within 24 hours of us contacting the realtor and was closed in record time.  We never even met the man or the realtor face to face.  We thanked FATHER for HIS unfailing Word and Love for us.  HE is willing to do similar things for all HIS Sons and Daughters.

The solutions to the problems in the world are found in another Kingdom.

The word mortgage comes from two words: Mort means death and gage means grip.  The world wants to enslave us by keeping us in a house with a mortgage.  FATHER wants us out of debt… totally.

Moses wrote by THE SPIRIT in Deuteronomy chapter 28:

12 The LORD will open to you His good treasure, the heavens, to give the rain to your land in its season, and to bless all the work of your hand. You shall lend to many nations, but you shall not borrow. ​​

Many who read this may currently be in debt and see no way out anytime soon.  However, FATHER is not moved by your current circumstance for they are subject to change.  HE is interested in setting you free of debt as HE is setting you free of other enslavements.  You simply need to expect it by immersing yourself in The Word concerning finances, and there are plenty of references.

My wife and I were in debt in the 1980’s with both a house payment and a car payment.  We had heard The Word of being out of debt but had not fully embraced it for our situation since we had many years left on our mortgage.  But then one day, FATHER spoke to me and said, “If you want to be out of debt, then start believing ME in this area and focusing on My Word concerning debt and being released from it.”  In nineteen months, we were miraculously debt free. 

My wife and I are not special or unique thus you can have the same result.  This freedom allowed us to increase our giving as FATHER directed.  Frankly, I slept better without the pressure of debt.

The adversary wants to keep us enslaved and accept the world’s method of acquiring things.  I find that as I focus more on the Kingdom of GOD, I focus less on things and possessions.  FATHER does give my wife and I the desires of our hearts and we give HIM the desires of HIS Heart through our obedience to tithing and willingness to give above the tithe in a cheerful manner. 

I trust HIS plan for my life so I am not hesitant to give as HE directs. 

My wife and I are constantly sowing seed in the area of finances for future harvests.  That still small voice of The Holy Spirit is much louder than in my earlier years thus it is easier to disburse funds as He directs, and without hesitation.  At first, my soul would argue and I had to quiet it down to bring it into subjection to my spirit.  This is rarely an issue now.

I only share these personal events so that you know that FATHER is willing to help you in the area of finances as well.  I truly want others to know that finances have not been excluded from HIS Divine Intent of deliverance from enslavement.  After all, HE Loves you and me more than we can possibly fathom.

I have a multitude of stories where FATHER supernaturally blessed us and removed barriers in the area of finances.  I now have a long history of giving as directed by FATHER.  HE can trust me with greater finances than when I was young.  It is called “maturity”.  If you haven’t already done so, I suggest creating a history with HIM as well.  You will be blessed!

The solutions to the problems in the world are found in another Kingdom.

What is the purpose of the immune system in the body?

What is the purpose of being totally out of debt?

Malachi wrote by THE SPIRIT in chapter 3:

10 ​​Bring all the tithes into the storehouse,

​​That there may be food in My house,

​​And try Me now in this,”

​​Says the LORD of hosts,

​​“If I will not open for you the windows of heaven

​​And pour out for you such blessing

​​That there will not be room enough to receive it.

​

11 ​​“And I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes,

​​So that he will not destroy the fruit of your ground,

​​Nor shall the vine fail to bear fruit for you in the field,”

​​Says the LORD of hosts;

12 ​​And all nations will call you blessed,

​​For you will be a delightful land,”

​​Says the LORD of hosts.

And…

16 Then those who feared the Lord talked often one to another; and the Lord listened and heard it, and a book of remembrance was written before Him of those who reverenced and worshipfully feared the Lord and who thought on His Name.

17 And they shall be Mine, says the Lord of hosts, in that day when I publicly recognize and openly declare them to be My jewels (My special possession, My peculiar treasure). And I will spare them, as a man spares his own son who serves him.

18 Then shall you return and discern between the righteous and the wicked, between him who serves God and him who does not serve Him.

Selah!

What you don’t know will hurt you.  It is all about understanding, not simply the quest for knowledge.  It is all about what you believe resulting from knowledge and understanding.

If you believe something that takes away from the power of the resurrection of Jesus Christ, it is the wrong doctrine and that doctrine will lead you astray.  Your doctrine becomes a Christian philosophy without any power or authority.

In Psalm 89, it is written by THE SPIRIT:

14 Righteousness and justice are the foundation of YOUR Throne.

Unfailing Love and Truth walk before YOU as attendants.

There is so much lawlessness occurring now, we must be vigilant to protect ourselves from being indoctrinated into man’s philosophies.  We must maintain the foundation of Love, Truth, righteousness, and justice in our speech and actions.  Without this foundation of understanding, we will be tossed to and fro by the lawlessness promoted by the world system.  Our focus should be toward ministering to those in need (which is almost everyone) by the power and authority of the Resurrection.

There is no cheating, lying, or manipulation in Heaven.

In Genesis chapter 26, it is written by THE SPIRIT:

1 There was a famine in the land, besides the first famine that was in the days of Abraham. And Isaac went to Abimelech king of the Philistines, in Gerar.

2 Then the LORD appeared to him and said: “Do not go down to Egypt; live in the land of which I shall tell you. 3 Dwell in this land, and I will be with you and bless you; for to you and your descendants I give all these lands, and I will perform the oath which I swore to Abraham your father. 4 And I will make your descendants multiply as the stars of heaven; I will give to your descendants all these lands; and in your seed all the nations of the earth shall be blessed; 5 because Abraham obeyed My voice and kept My charge, My commandments, My statutes, and My laws.”

And:

12 Then Isaac sowed in that land, and reaped in the same year a hundredfold; and the LORD blessed him. 13 The man began to prosper, and continued prospering until he became very prosperous; 14 for he had possessions of flocks and possessions of herds and a great number of servants. So the Philistines envied him.

There is much talk about economic disasters on the horizon.  These will be blamed on past officials as well as viruses of various strains.  Judgment comes forth in various facets but we must not allow ourselves to be caught up in the fear which will surely be ramped up as a means of controlling the population.  Yes, we can and should reap a hundredfold return in famine as well.

We must be fully led by The Holy Spirit and hear the Words of Our Heavenly Father.  Isaac did and FATHER blessed him with a hundredfold return during a severe famine in the land.  Now is the time to focus on sowing without hesitation.  It is critical to be sensitive to what The Holy Spirit is saying to you, especially in the area of health and finances.

What is the purpose of the immune system in the body?

What is the purpose of being totally out of debt?

The Holy Spirit speaks only to those who invite Him to speak.  Those of us who associate with the power of the resurrection of Jesus Christ will be the light attracting those who are and will suffer during the times ahead.  Remember, only the five wise virgins qualified to move on with the bridegroom.

You and I are meant to be problem solvers to those who are in bondage to the world.  Those people need to be set free from their bondage of the world system which thrives on keeping them in chains.

Pharmakeia (aka: witchcraft; Strong’s G5331) relies on continued submission.

The Beloved Disciple recorded in Revelation chapter 9:

20 But the people who did not die in these plagues still refused to repent of their evil deeds and turn to God. They continued to worship demons and idols made of gold, silver, bronze, stone, and wood—idols that can neither see nor hear nor walk! 21 And they did not repent of their murders or their witchcraft or their sexual immorality or their thefts.

There will be people who will reject the Message of Jesus Christ and they will sadly suffer the consequences of rejecting our message.  We must not be moved by such rejections but rather move on to those who are willing to repent.

You and I have the opportunity to minister understanding of the power of the Resurrection of Jesus Christ at this point in history.  Let us be known as history makers by those who are watching from Heaven.

Here is another example of helping our kids in need just this week:

Today, we had a Kindergarten student whose shoes broke at recess. Her family doesn’t have the means to purchase her new shoes right now. We were able to get her some new shoes today! She was so happy and even more excited that she got to take the shoes home with her after school and keep them.

FATHER is keeping track of our cheerful giving. Thank you for your continued support.

Never doubt God’s mighty power to work in you and accomplish all this. HE will achieve infinitely more than your greatest request, your most unbelievable dream, and exceed your wildest imagination!   HE will outdo them all, for HIS miraculous power constantly energizes you.  (Ephesians 3:20 TPT)

Jesus spoke in Luke chapter 10:

17 When the seventy missionaries returned to Jesus, they were ecstatic with joy, telling him, “Lord, even the demons obeyed us when we commanded them in your name!”

18 Jesus replied, “While you were ministering, I watched Satan topple until he fell suddenly from heaven like lightning to the ground. 19 Now you understand that I have imparted to you my authority to trample over his kingdom. You will trample upon every demon before you and overcome every power Satan possesses. Absolutely nothing will harm you as you walk in this authority. 20 However, your real source of joy isn’t merely that these spirits submit to your authority, but that your names are written in the journals of Heaven and that you belong to God’s Kingdom. This is the true source of your authority.”

21 Then Jesus, overflowing with the Holy Spirit’s joy, exclaimed, “Father, thank YOU, for YOU are Lord Supreme over Heaven and earth! YOU have hidden the great revelation of this authority from those who are proud, those wise in their own eyes, and you have shared it with these who humbled themselves. Yes, Father. This is what pleases YOUR Heart: to give these things to those who are like trusting children.

FATHER hides reality from those who would abuse it for their own selfish purposes.  As we come to the reality that it is all about Jesus and His Blood, we gain further revelation concerning His power and authority which is able to operate through us just as it did with the seventy.  When the seventy embraced and operated in the authority given to them by Jesus, satan fell.

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Romans chapter 6:      

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.

17 And thanks be to God, for in the past you were servants of sin, but now your obedience is heart deep, and your life is being molded by Truth through the teaching you are devoted to. 18 And now you celebrate your freedom from your former master—sin. You’ve left its bondage, and now God’s perfect righteousness holds power over you as HIS Loving servants.

The comparison is quite clear and anyone who has eyes to see will choose to Love and obey Our Heavenly Father.  Once again, it is all about Love!

Never doubt God’s mighty power to work in you and accomplish all this. HE will achieve infinitely more than your greatest request, your most unbelievable dream, and exceed your wildest imagination!   HE will outdo them all, for HIS miraculous power constantly energizes you.  (Ephesians 3:20 TPT)

Jesus spoke in John chapter 8:

31 Jesus said to those Jews who believed in him, “When you continue to embrace all that I teach, you prove that you are My true followers. 32 For if you embrace the Truth, it will release true freedom into your lives.”

Said another way, “The Truth will set you free.”  The Truth Jesus gives us releases us from the bondage of our past, the bondage of our sins, and the bondage of religion. Jesus was speaking these Words to those who were not fully free from man’s traditions. Truth must be embraced and worked out through the Divine process of spiritual maturity. The Greek word for “truth” is reality. To embrace the reality of Christ brings more freedom into your life.

Partial Truth does not move us into full spiritual maturity else I would have been fully mature in my early years as many of you would.  As you and I persist in our commitment to become fully mature IN HIM, the eyes of our understanding are being enlightened by the Words of Jesus and the revelation given to Paul in his Heavenly encounters.

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Colossians chapter 1:

9  That you would receive the perfect knowledge (and understanding) of God’s pleasure over your lives, making you reservoirs of every kind of Wisdom and Spiritual understanding.

Paul prayed for us to receive the full Truth and reality of FATHER’S Love for us.  I am persuaded that FATHER’S Divine Intent for Servias Ministries was and is to be one voice in unity for the perfect knowledge and understanding of Agape Love.

10 We pray that you would walk in the ways of true righteousness, pleasing God in every good thing you do. Then you’ll become fruit-bearing branches, yielding to His life, and maturing in the rich experience of knowing God in His fullness!

You and I are intended to be fruit-bearing branches of Our Heavenly Father.  Paul identifies this fruit as I have written to you recently.  We are not waiting for the anointing of this fruit to come, it is waiting on us to appropriate it and allow it to flow in our lives to others.  This is also Paul’s desire as he prays for us:

11 And we pray that you would be energized with all his explosive power from the realm of HIS magnificent glory, filling you with great hope.

The revelation that we already have this explosive power and authority waiting on us will energize us to move forward and act on HIS behalf.  As this occurs, Paul states what will then happen:

12 Your hearts can soar with joyful gratitude when you think of how God made you worthy to receive the glorious inheritance freely given to us by living in the light.

13 HE has rescued us completely from the tyrannical rule of darkness and has translated us into the kingdom realm of HIS Beloved Son.

You and I have been totally rescued from the adversary and his darkness.  We need to walk and be energized in this revelation and no longer allow darkness to have any impact on us.  We must not allow the adversary’s deception to be given any consideration in our daily walk for GOD has made us worthy and we are fully able to live in the light where there is no darkness.  We have been translated!

You don’t need more faith, you need to appropriate what has been deposited in you.

When you received The Holy Spirit, you also received the deposits of the various fruit of The SPIRIT.  Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Galatians chapter 5:

22–23 But the fruit produced by the Holy Spirit within you is Divine Love in all Its varied expressions:

joy that overflows, peace that subdues,

patience that endures, kindness in action,

a life full of virtue,

faith that prevails,

gentleness of heart, and strength of spirit.

You and I already have the measure of faith required to move mountains.  As believers, we don’t need more faith but rather we need to appropriate and exercise what we have been given.  Our faith is currently at various degrees of activation and operation.  FATHER is not going to give us more faith, HE wants us to exercise what we already have.

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Colossians chapter 2:

6 In the same way you received Jesus our Lord and Messiah by faith, continue your journey of faith, progressing further into your union with him! 7 Your spiritual roots go deeply into his life as you are continually infused with strength, encouraged in every way. For you are established in the faith you have absorbed and enriched by your devotion to Him!

8 Beware that no one distracts you or intimidates you in their attempt to lead you away from Christ’s fullness by pretending to be full of wisdom when they’re filled with endless arguments of human logic. For they operate with humanistic and clouded judgments based on the mindset of this world system, and not the anointed Truths of the Anointed One.

9 For He is the complete fullness of Deity living in human form. 10 And our own completeness is now found in Him. We are completely filled with God as Christ’s fullness overflows within us. He is the Head of every kingdom and authority in the universe!

11 Through our union with Him we have experienced circumcision of heart. All of the guilt and power of sin has been cut away and is now extinct because of what Christ, the Anointed One, has accomplished for us.

Human logic will distract us from these Truths expressed by Paul.  IN HIM we have our being.  We are meant to be advertisements of Jesus and His life-giving power.  This is what will turn people to GOD, not human logic.  People are drawn to power and authority because they ultimately no longer want to be victims of this world.  We have the solution and HIS Name is Jesus!

The more our minds are transformed, the more we are led by THE SPIRIT and the activation from within becomes apparent to us.  Events begin to fall into place for us.  Our operational faith grows as our mind is transformed from soulish doubt to full expectancy.

Though for years I quoted Colossians 1:10-11 though I did not fully understand what it was saying.  I needed greater understanding of the knowledge I was often quoting.

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Colossians chapter 1:

10 We pray that you would walk in the ways of true righteousness, pleasing God in every good thing you do. Then you’ll become fruit-bearing branches, yielding to His life, and maturing in the rich experience of knowing God in His fullness! 11 And we pray that you would be energized with all His explosive power from the realm of His magnificent glory, filling you with great hope.

12 Your hearts can soar with joyful gratitude when you think of how God made you worthy to receive the glorious inheritance freely given to us by living in the light.

His power and authority was freely given to us thus we did nothing to earn it.  Jesus saw to that.  He has already rescued us completely from the tyrannical rule of darkness and has already translated us into the Kingdom realm of His beloved Son.  For in the Son all our sins are canceled and we have the release of redemption through His very blood!
