Agape Love’s Vision

Monday, June 14th, 2021

Jesus expressed a singular vision for the called out ones, known as the true church, to come into perfect unity with a foundation of Love as He prayed in John chapter 17:

20 “And I ask not only for these disciples,

    but also for all those who will one day

    believe in Me through their message.

21 I pray for them all to be joined together as one

    even as you and I, Father, are joined together as One.

    I pray for them to become One with Us

    so that the world will recognize that You sent Me.

22 For the very glory You have given to Me I have given them

    so that they will be joined together as one

    and experience the same unity that We enjoy.

23 You live fully in Me and now I live fully in them

    so that they will experience perfect unity,

    and the world will be convinced that You have sent Me,

    for they will see that You Love each one of them

    with the same passionate Love that You have for Me.

Paul provides us with details as he wrote by The Holy Spirit in Ephesians chapter 4:

13 These grace ministries (five-fold ministry) will function until we all attain oneness into the faith, until we all experience the fullness of what it means to know the Son of God, and finally we become one into a perfect man with the full dimensions of Spiritual maturity and fully developed into the abundance of Christ.

14 And then our immaturity will end! And we will not be easily shaken by trouble, nor led astray by novel teachings or by the false doctrines of deceivers who teach clever lies. 15 But instead we will remain strong and always sincere in our Love as we express the Truth. All our direction and ministries will flow from Christ and lead us deeper into Him, the anointed Head of His Body, the church (the called out ones).

16 For His “Body” has been formed in His image and is closely joined together and constantly connected as one. And every member has been given Divine gifts to contribute to the growth of all; and as these gifts operate effectively throughout the whole body, we are built up and made perfect in Love.

When you and I walk in Agape Love, we are promoting FATHER’S singular vision for The Kingdom.  If you do not walk in this manner, you will have another vision which ultimately creates division.

The world wants to keep us separated and divided by any means necessary.  They seek to alter our DNA so that we will no longer be in the image of GOD.  They want us to live in constant fear as well.

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

18 There is no fear in Love; but perfect Love casts out fear, because fear involves torment. But he who fears has not been made perfect in Love.

The Holy Spirit continues to direct us to the innumerable facets of Agape Love and if we will keep our primary focus on Love, we will be led by The Holy Spirit and be equipped to thwart with every attempt by the world to control and manipulate us for their nefarious purposes.  Clearly, the “church” was ill-prepared to deal with the recent pandemic.  Let us learn from this “test” and move on to unity of a single vision perfected by Agape Love.

The Purpose Of The Five-fold Ministry

Sunday, June 13th, 2021

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Ephesians chapter 4:

11 And FATHER has appointed some with grace to be apostles, and some with grace to be prophets, and some with grace to be evangelists, and some with grace to be pastors, and some with grace to be teachers. 12 And their calling is to nurture and prepare all the Holy believers to do their own works of ministry, and as they do this they will enlarge and build up the Body of Christ.

The fivefold ministries’ mandate is to bring forth believers to maturity so they will do their own works of ministry on behalf of the Kingdom.  Many if not most churches have failed in this simple and straightforward mandate.  They have produce pew warmers instead. 

How many churches allow The Holy Spirit to guide the service now?  In many churches you can’t even locate The Holy Spirit among the congregation.  The service has turned into a temporary feel good time for most.  Their mindset did not change and continues to be lukewarm at best.

13 These grace ministries will function until we all attain oneness into the faith, until we all experience the fullness of what it means to know the Son of God, and finally we become one into a perfect man with the full dimensions of Spiritual maturity and fully developed into the abundance of Christ.

A lot of things that are happening in church are in the soulish realm, not the Spiritual realm else we all would attain the oneness of faith and unity.  Instead, there are reported over 10,000 denominations in the U.S.

14 And then our immaturity will end! And we will not be easily shaken by trouble, nor led astray by novel teachings or by the false doctrines of deceivers who teach clever lies. 15 But instead we will remain strong and always sincere in our Love as we express the Truth. All our direction and ministries will flow from Christ and lead us deeper into Him, the anointed Head of His Body, the church (the called out ones).

16 For His “body” has been formed in His image and is closely joined together and constantly connected as one. And every member has been given Divine gifts to contribute to the growth of all; and as these gifts operate effectively throughout the whole body, we are built up and made perfect in Love.

You can see why many Sons and Daughters have had to leave various congregations.  Smith Wigglesworth stated that he left five different denominations after The Holy Spirit departed them.  Why spend any time in a dead or lukewarm assembly?  When you depart such assemblies, your so-called friends are revealed only as acquaintances.  As long as you agreed with their doctrine, they embraced you.  But once you departed, they cut ties with you.  Agape Love was not found among them… sadly.

In looking back, I realized that some of those in leadership were not sent by The Holy Spirit, they just went based on their soulish understanding and desires.  Why do you think so many “leave the ministry”?

Some churches hire accomplished musicians who are not saved to lead and/or participate in their music ministry.  They produce an environment based on “soul power (aka emotion)” which is counterfeit to the power of The Holy Spirit. 

This is similar to what is produced at worldly concerts with all the lights, smoke, and video enhancements.  It is hard to hear that “still small voice” when you have to wear protective ear plugs in a service.  Loud music does not get the attention of The Holy Spirit!  Emotions are meant to add to your Spiritual experience, not replace it.

It is not all the fault of the fivefold ministry for they can’t make people mature and embrace their individual callings.  Everyone who enters into an assembly has some level of accountability and responsibility.  FATHER gave us the New Testament so nobody can claim ignorance over the long run.

The fivefold ministry is meant to provoke you to change resulting in a greater level of maturity.  We must remember that we are called to be fruit inspectors and this also applies to the fivefold ministry.  They are not off limits from inspection.  If they are ineffective in producing the mandated results stated in the above passage, you must discern what your next action will be in order to stay in the Will of FATHER.  You may be called to minister to those in charge or just simply leave.  The Holy Spirit will direct you.

Be Alert and Ready

Saturday, June 12th, 2021

Jesus instructed us to be alert and ready at all times.  This is what faithful Sons and Daughters do in preparation for His return.

Jesus spoke in Luke chapter 12:

35 “Be prepared for action at a moment’s notice. 36 Be like servants anticipating their Master’s return from a wedding celebration. They are ready at a moment’s notice to unlock and open the door for Him. 37 What great joy is ahead for those who stay awake and wait for their Master’s return! He Himself will become their servant and wait on them. 38 He may appear at midnight or even later, but what great joy for the awakened ones whenever he comes! 39 Of course, if they knew ahead of time the hour of their master’s appearing, they would be alert, just as they would be ready if they knew ahead of time that a thief was coming to break into their house. 40 So keep being alert and ready at all times. For I promise you that the Son of Man will surprise you and appear when you don’t expect Him.”

41 “Lord,” Peter asked, “does this apply only to the twelve of us, or is it for everyone else as well?”

42 The Lord replied, “A Master will delegate authority in His house to a trustworthy and thoughtful manager who understands his Master’s desires. And the household manager will serve others what they need at exactly the right time. 43–44 And whenever his Master returns, He will find that His servant has served Him well. I promise you, the Master will reward Him generously and he will be placed as an overseer of everything He owns.

Jesus explicitly tells us that we will be surprised at His appearing and we won’t expect Him at that time.  People have been trying to figure out the date of His return for centuries even though He expressly tells us in the above passage that we will be surprised.

In Acts chapter 1, the disciples kept asking Jesus the same question.  He spoke:

6 Every time they were gathered together, they asked Jesus, “Lord, is it now the time for you to free Israel and restore our kingdom?”

7 He answered, “The Father is the one who sets the fixed dates and the times of their fulfillment. You are not permitted to know the timing of all that HE has prepared by HIS own authority. 8 But I promise you this—the Holy Spirit will come upon you, and you will be seized with power. You will be My messengers to Jerusalem, throughout Judea, the distant provinces—even to the remotest places on earth!”

Our minds want to analyze dates, times, and seasons as well as feast days and mathematical relationships in Scripture, looking for some indication as though they can unlock FATHER’S plan which is solely under HIS authority, not Jesus or The Holy Spirit’s.  So why do we keep burning time and resources in an effort to find out what FATHER is holding back and unwilling to disclose?  Do you really think you can outthink FATHER and find something HE failed to consider in keeping the date a mystery?  HE is Supreme and we aren’t!

For decades, prophecy teachers have been making a living by tickling people’s ears with the latest world developments pointing to some specific date of Jesus’ return.  As for me (after I tossed all the prophecy books and CD’S I acquired over the years), I am simply being alert and ready on a moment’s notice.  I will do what The Holy Spirit leads me to do on a daily basis as a faithful steward and serve others.  How simple it is and my mind is not cluttered with dates and times which come and go without results.

The disciples badgered Jesus concerning the date of His Glorious return yet He did not give it to them.  We must remember that He only spoke what FATHER directed Him to speak and share.  Nothing has changed so let us be productive for the Kingdom and direct our attention to what we need to say and do today.  Accept the reality that we will be pleasantly surprised on that day.

Agape Love’s Expectations: Continued

Friday, June 11th, 2021

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in 1 Corinthians chapter 13:

8 Love never stops Loving. It extends beyond the gift of prophecy, which eventually fades away. It is more enduring than Tongues, which will one day fall silent. Love remains long after words of knowledge are forgotten. 9 Our present knowledge and our prophecies are but partial, 10 but when love’s perfection arrives, the partial will fade away.

Various gifts of THE SPIRIT are temporary in nature, but Love is not.  Knowledge and prophecy meet a specific need and provide direction as we move on to the fulfillment of our individual callings.  They are meant to facilitate maturity among the called out ones.  Jesus told us that the greatest in Heaven is the one who serves all mankind and this can only be done out of Agape Love.

11 When I was a child, I spoke about childish matters, for I saw things like a child and reasoned like a child. But the day came when I matured, and I set aside my childish ways.

When we are immature, life is all about “me”.  How many are still walking in that mindset?  A mark of maturity is when we finally realize it is all about Jesus Christ and imitating Him on earth for the benefit of others.  Just about the time we think we are there, FATHER brings forth another test.  This provides us with perspective of where IN TRUTH we are at.

12 For now we see but a faint reflection of riddles and mysteries as though reflected in a mirror, but one day we will see face-to-face. My understanding is incomplete now, but one day I will understand everything, just as everything about me has been fully understood. 13 Until then, there are three things that remain: faith, hope, and Love—yet Love surpasses them all. So above all else, let Love be the beautiful prize for which you run.

Jesus urged us to lay up Treasures in Heaven.  He revealed this Truth to the rich young ruler and He mentioned it again to the disciples in Luke 12:

22 Jesus taught his disciples, saying, “Listen to me. Never let anxiety enter your hearts. Never worry about any of your needs, such as food or clothing. 23 For your life is infinitely more than just the food you eat or the clothing you wear. 24 Take the carefree birds as your example. Do you ever see them worry? They neither grow their own food nor put it in a storehouse for later. Yet God takes care of every one of them, feeding each of them out of the abundance of HIS Love and goodness. Isn’t your life more precious to God than a bird? Be carefree in the care of God!

25 “Does worry add anything to your life? Can it add one more year, or even one day? 26 So if worrying adds nothing, but actually subtracts from your life, why would you worry about God’s care of you?

27 “Think about the lilies. They grow and become beautiful, not because they work hard or strive to clothe themselves. Yet not even Solomon, wearing his kingly garments of splendor, could be compared to a field of lilies. 28 If God can clothe the fields and meadows with grass and flowers, can HE not clothe you as well, O struggling one with so many doubts? 29 I repeat: Don’t let worry enter your life. Live above the anxious cares about your personal needs. 30 People everywhere seem to worry about making a living, but your Heavenly Father knows your every need and will take care of you. 31 As you passionately seek HIS Kingdom, above all else, HE will supply your needs. 32 So don’t ever be afraid, dearest friends! Your loving Father joyously gives you his kingdom with all its promises!

Lastly, Jesus sums up the need to give toward our unfailing treasures secured in Heaven.

33 “Now, go and sell what you have and give to those in need; you will be making deposits in your account in Heaven, an account that will never be taken from you. Your gifts will become a secure and unfailing treasure, deposited in Heaven forever. 34 Where you deposit your treasure, that is where you fix your thoughts—and your heart will long to be there also.”

If you can grasp this Truth, you will be fully aligned with the calling of Servias Ministries.  A treasurer faithfully acquires and distributes as The Holy Spirit directs.  After all, The Holy Spirit stated in Deuteronomy chapter 8:

18 Remember the LORD your God. He is the One who gives you power to be successful (resulting in wealth), in order to fulfill the covenant He confirmed to your ancestors with an oath.

There is plenty of money and resources on earth, they simply need to be transferred to the right people! They are the ones who are imitators of FATHER and walk in Agape Love!

Underprivileged Kids Assistance Update

Thursday, June 10th, 2021

We continue to assist FATHER’S Kids beyond the end of the school year. They know that they can come to the school and receive assistance even though school is out for the summer. Hunger takes no time off and neither do we.

Thank you for your participation in giving to kids in need. They hold a special place in FATHER’S Heart and HE is the one who will repay and bless those who help these kids out. We are establishing hope in their lives. We distribute without any conditions attached.

It is all about Love!

Agape Love’s Expectations

Thursday, June 10th, 2021

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in 1 Corinthians chapter 13:

1 If I were to speak with eloquence in earth’s many languages, and in the Heavenly tongues of angels, yet I didn’t express myself with Love, my words would be reduced to the hollow sound of nothing more than a clanging cymbal.

Agape Love must be the motivation of all words I speak else they become noise and are essentially worthless and will not endure the test of time.

2 And if I were to have the gift of prophecy with a profound understanding of God’s hidden secrets, and if I possessed unending supernatural knowledge, and if I had the greatest gift of faith that could move mountains, but have never learned to Love, then I am nothing.

If gifts and revelation from Above as well as great faith are attained but I do not operate and speak from Love, then I am nothing!  In order to imitate FATHER, I must have a motivation of Love.  But if I fail to walk and talk in Love, then I am not a true imitator of HIM and I am still immature.

3 And if I were to be so generous as to give away everything I owned to feed the poor, and to offer my body to be burned as a martyr, without the pure motive of Love, I would gain nothing of value.

When the rich young ruler came to Jesus, Jesus tested the level of Agape Love in the young man’s heart.  When Jesus instructed him to give all his wealth to the poor, the young man’s response revealed the depths of his heart.  In Matthew 19, Jesus responds and challenges the young man:

20 “But I’ve always obeyed every one of them without fail,” the young man replied. “What else do I lack?”

21 Jesus said to him, “If you really want to be perfect (mature), go now and sell everything you own. Give your money to the poor and your treasure will be transferred into Heaven. Then come back and follow me for the rest of your life.”

22 When the young man heard these words, he walked away sad, for he had great wealth.

23 Then Jesus turned to his disciples and said, “Listen. Do you understand how difficult it is for the rich to enter into heaven’s kingdom realm? 24 In fact, it’s easier to stuff a heavy rope through the eye of a needle than it is for the wealthy to enter into God’s Kingdom realm!”

Those who have joined with us to give to the poor in this ministry should only give out of Agape Love for the kids in need.  If you are giving out of duty, then stop.  We have been writing with a focus on Agape Love for the past 15 years and so I trust those who are giving do so from a willing heart of Love.  This is what my wife and I do and FATHER honors our intent.

Paul continues by The Holy Spirit in 1 Corinthians chapter 13:

4 Love is large and incredibly patient. Love is gentle and consistently kind to all. It refuses to be jealous when blessing comes to someone else. Love does not brag about one’s achievements nor inflate its own importance.

I have never considered myself as a writer thus I write as I am moved by The Holy Spirit WHO happens to be a gifted Writer.  I am simply a willing vessel.  As I have matured IN HIM, I trust that the writings have been of greater value to the readers of this site.  Thankfully, FATHER is patient and kind to me so I purpose to imitate HIM in these writings. 

Each of us are at different levels of maturity and I trust some of my past failures will provide comfort to those who have had similar failures, knowing that FATHER’S great grace and mercy are more than sufficient in dealing with those failures.  Jesus’ Blood was and is more than enough!

5 Love does not traffic in shame and disrespect, nor selfishly seek its own honor. Love is not easily irritated or quick to take offense. 6 Love joyfully celebrates honesty and finds no delight in what is wrong.7 Love is a safe place of shelter, for it never stops believing the best for others.  Love never takes failure as defeat, for it never gives up.

I am the Eternal optimist when it comes to hoping that people will change and embrace the Love of GOD in their hearts.  I put actions behind that hope as I purpose to fully submit to the leading of The Holy Spirit.

FATHER told me in 2005 to begin focusing specifically on Agape Love.  What I found out was that I was sorely lacking… even though I initially thought otherwise.  There was definitely more change required in order for me to fulfill my calling.  Jesus told us in Luke 12:48b:

“For those who have received a greater revelation from their Master are required a greater obedience. And those who have been entrusted with great responsibility will be held more responsible to their Master.”

There are those who shy away from responsibility and want others to take on the accountability of FATHER’S mandates.  Since I know that The Holy Spirit is greater than me and operates inside of me, I simply carry out His instructions without regard to the difficulty and/or inconvenience.  My part is to be obedient whereas His part is to prepare the way for success.

When we fully understand our place in Christ, we realize that we cannot shame and disrespect others for we were in similar situations ourselves.  We must let The Holy Spirit convict the hearts of men thus we must not be “manipulators” using words of shame and disrespect. Love does not manipulate. Let our words bring forth life!

Discerning Associations

Wednesday, June 9th, 2021

FATHER established us, HIS Sons and Daughters, as the authority on the earth thus we are to enforce what FATHER has spoken to us in our spirits.  Yes, the devil and his minions will resist us until they are convinced that we know our rights and empowerment as Sons and Daughters.  They will then leave and look for someone who is weak and/or ignorant of their gifts and callings.

Maturity is being like Our Father GOD.  As Peter wrote by The Holy Spirit, in 2nd Peter chapter 1:

3 as His Divine power has given to us all things that pertain to life and Godliness, through the knowledge of Him Who called us by glory and virtue, 4 by which have been given to us exceedingly great and precious promises, that through these you may be partakers of the Divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.

If we are partakers of the Divine nature, then we should speak and act as partakers of the Divine nature.  We should expect the gifts bestowed upon us to be fully activated and operational thus enabling us to fulfill our Divine calling.

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Ephesians chapter 5:

1 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.

If we weren’t given the capacity to be imitator of Our Heavenly FATHER, then HE would not expect us to walk in such manner.  Jesus assured us that we are able!

Our Heavenly Father is the ultimate Giver.  Are you known as a giver or a taker?  Are you looking to see what you can extract from others or are you looking for ways to give and be a blessing to others?

Some people are trying to live from one supernatural experience to the next.  As for me, I expect to walk and stay in the supernatural.  I don’t need another prophet to reconfirm my calling and destiny, I need to walk out what The Holy Spirit is directing me to say and do… and not be apologetic or be afraid of being judged by the worldly.  I don’t want to get to Heaven and look back with regret realizing I could have done more for my Commander-In-Chief.

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Romans chapter 8:

28 So we are convinced that every detail of our lives is continually woven together for good, for we are HIS Lovers who have been called to fulfill HIS designed purpose. 29 For HE knew all about us before we were born and HE destined us from the beginning to share the likeness of HIS Son. This means the Son is the oldest among a vast family of brothers and sisters who will become just like Him.

We need not apologize for expecting to do greater things than Jesus did as the “son of man” for He expects it from us.

30 Having determined our destiny ahead of time, HE called us to HIMSELF and transferred HIS perfect righteousness to everyone HE called. And those who possess HIS perfect righteousness HE co-glorified with his Son!

31 So, what does all this mean? If God has determined to stand with us, tell me, who then could ever stand against us?

Your spirit is as perfect as it is going to get.

Where you are at and who you are with must match what is inside of you.  Can a Son or a Daughter truly fellowship with those “friends” or acquaintances who are following their own agendas?  When revelation comes to you, the Truth is made known to you thus you must discern whether those around were ever with you from a spiritual standpoint. 

When you walk in Agape Love, you establish a separate path from the world and you must not allow a desire for companionship or close associations to divert you away from your path.  There are those whom you think you want to associate with who will attempt to control you with their soulish demands and expectations.  Both are subtle forms of manipulation.

Everybody who has influence with you will transform your mind if you allow it.  Your mind will either be transformed by The Word or it will be transformed by your friends, and the media… or a diluted combination of both which will yield lukewarmness at best.

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in 2nd Corinthians chapter 6:

14 Don’t continue to team up with unbelievers in mismatched alliances, for what partnership is there between righteousness and rebellion? Who could mingle light with darkness? 15 What harmony can there be between Christ and Satan? Or what does a believer have in common with an unbeliever? 16 What friendship does God’s temple have with demons? For indeed, we are the temple of the living God, just as God has said:

I will make my home in them and walk among them.

I will be their God, and they will be My people.

17 For this reason,

“Come out from among them and be separate,” says the Lord.

“Touch nothing that is unclean, and I will embrace you.

18 I will be a true Father to you,

    and you will be My Beloved Sons and Daughters,”

    says the Lord Yahweh Almighty.

Each of us is accountable for our associations with others.  We must be cautious about who we choose to be in unity with for the stakes are high.  We are not to be unequally yoked with those who are in some form of rebellion.  Yes, we can minister to them but fellowship is a different issue.  Discernment is required in these situations and The Holy Spirit will show us how to proceed in Agape Love.

Agreeing With FATHER

Tuesday, June 8th, 2021

Prayer is about agreeing with FATHER.  There is the known Will of GOD and HE expects us to agree with HIM since we are HIS Vessels in the earth.  We are the authority on the earth.

If we don’t pray, things are not going to happen.  Also, it we don’t pray, things that we don’t want to happen will happen. 

We have to believe in our heart and confess with our mouth.  We have a critical part to play in what happens on earth.

Isaiah recorded by The Holy Spirit in chapter 53:

5 ​​But He was wounded for our transgressions,

​​He was bruised for our iniquities;

​​The chastisement for our peace was upon Him,

​​And by His stripes we are healed.

And Peter wrote by The Holy Spirit in 1st Peter chapter 2:

24 who Himself bore our sins in His own body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live for righteousness—by whose stripes you were healed.

Notice that our healing has already occurred in the Spirit realm… from are healed to were healed.  It requires us to confess with our mouths in prayer and believe in our hearts in order to accept the reality of our healing in the physical realm, doubting not.  Unbelief in The Word is the hindrance to our healing. 

The Word needs to reside in our heart rather than just in our mind (head knowledge).  This is why we should constantly plant The Word in our hearts AND our minds which will result in consistent fruitfulness.  Planting a seed once does not sustain a continual harvest. 

FATHER once told me that I was “void” of HIS Word in the area of healing.  I had not maintained a fresh study of healing Scriptures and had effectively used up the fruit of past studies in that area.  I repented then immersed myself in healing Scriptures and was healed of a life-threatening disease.

Jesus spoke in Matthew 19:

26 But Jesus looked at them and said to them, “With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”

We don’t need to ask FATHER if it is HIS Will to be healed.  HE clearly states this fact in The Word.  Jesus went about healing all except where unbelief existed.

We don’t need to ask FATHER if it is HIS Will for us to have finances.  HE also clearly states that it is HIS Will for us to have sufficient finances both for paying our bills and for giving on behalf of the Kingdom.

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Philippians chapter 4:

6 Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests (petitions, demands based on the stated Word) be made known to God; 7 and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

8 Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy—meditate on these things. 9 The things which you learned and received and heard and saw in me, these do, and the God of peace will be with you.

10 But I rejoiced in the Lord greatly that now at last your care for me has flourished again; though you surely did care, but you lacked opportunity. 11 Not that I speak in regard to need, for I have learned in whatever state I am, to be content: 12 I know how to be abased, and I know how to abound. Everywhere and in all things I have learned both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need.

13 I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.

14 Nevertheless you have done well that you shared in my distress (essential needs). 15 Now you Philippians know also that in the beginning of the gospel, when I departed from Macedonia, no church shared with me concerning giving and receiving (sowed into me financially) but you only. 16 For even in Thessalonica you sent aid once and again for my necessities. 17 Not that I seek the gift, but I seek the fruit that abounds to your account.

18 Indeed I have all and abound. I am full, having received from Epaphroditus the things sent from you, a sweet-smelling aroma, an acceptable sacrifice, well pleasing to God. 19 And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.

Paul is specifically referring to financial needs in the above passage.  We should not allow the adversary to convince us otherwise.  The passages referencing financial provision have been operating in my life for decades so you cannot convince me that FATHER is not interested in our financial wellbeing.

Another Truth we must fully embrace is: “Jesus’ Blood does not cover your sins, It erases them!”

As The Holy Spirit clearly states in Psalm 103:3

Who forgives all your iniquities,

Who heals all your diseases

Those of us who fully grasp these Truths will certainly overcome any obstacles to such Truths.  Let us not accept anything less.  It is time we fully agree with FATHER in all areas.

The Incorruptible Seed

Monday, June 7th, 2021

Peter wrote by The Holy Spirit in 1st Peter chapter 1:

22 Now, because of your obedience to the Truth, you have purified your very souls, and this empowers you to be full of Love for your fellow believers. So express this sincere Love toward one another passionately and with a pure heart. 23 For through the eternal and living Word of God you have been born again. And this incorruptible “seed” that HE planted within you can never be destroyed but will live and grow inside of you forever.

We must not allow weeds to be planted in our hearts.  As we plant seeds of Agape Love, we produce fruit of Agape Love.  We must protect the purity of our heart and not allow the world to plant corruptible seed.

Isaiah wrote by THE SPIRIT in chapter 54:

17 ​​No weapon formed against you shall prosper,

​​And every tongue which rises against you in judgment

​​You shall condemn.

We are to refute everyone who tries to accuse us or attempts to convince us of any word that is contrary to FATHER’S Word.  We are to condemn their words and not accept them.  This is part of protecting the purity of our hearts.  It is up to you and me to condemn and not passively accept those corruptible words spoken against us.

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in 2 Corinthians chapter 11:

14 That doesn’t surprise us, for even Satan transforms himself to appear as an angel of light! 15 So it’s no wonder his servants also go about pretending to be ministers of righteousness. But in the end they will be exposed and get exactly what they deserve.

A loved one may try to convince you to take the path of a worldly view and they may wrap it in sympathy and pity.  They may be sincere, but they are sincerely wrong.  We must not allow anyone to convince us to consider an alternative to FATHER’S Word, no matter how innocent their intent seems.  An angel of light can appear to have revelation but at best it will surely be a “half-truth” rather than the absolute Truth from FATHER’s Divine Intent.

Satan comes to steal The Word being planted in our hearts!

Wisdom spoke in Proverbs chapter 18:

21 Your words are so powerful

    that they will kill or give life,

    and the talkative person will reap the consequences.

Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and they who indulge in it shall eat the fruit of it for death or life. We must watch our words for they enter into our heart’s soil as seeds and produce the fruit we have sowed. 

I personally purpose to speak less in what is called casual conversation these days.  I have no interest in expressing an opinion but rather speaking only FATHER’S Word of Absolute Truth.  I am not interested in debating, arguing, or anything else that promotes division.

We must condemn the words we hear that are contrary to FATHER’S Word!

We are overwhelmed and saturated with unbelief by the mainstream media.  They would have us believe that the virus is causing widespread death among all nations and the only solution is an RNA modifying shot (by definition, it is not a vaccine see: https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/vpd/vpd-vac-basics.html).  They want to totally negate The Word which emphatically states in Isaiah 54:

17 ​​No weapon formed against you shall prosper,

​​And every tongue which rises against you in judgment

​​You shall condemn.

​​This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD,

​​And their righteousness is from Me,”

​​Says the LORD.

A mask will not eliminate the spread of a virus.  Neither will incomplete sanitizing of the surroundings.  Masks promote fear, uncertainty, and doubt thus the media want mankind to continuous live in fear and vain imaginations.  Our immune system is what combats viruses, not social distancing. 

The Word promotes a fully effective immune system thus the best way to combat any virus is to meditate on healing Scriptures thus renewing the mind daily.  The world wants to compromise our immune system by creating stress.  Stress will reduce the body’s ability to maintain a healthy immune system.

For perspective (Source CDC.GOV):

Total Covid Deaths in U.S.: 592,232

Total Population in U.S. 331,449,281 (U.S. Census Bureau)

Percentage of deaths due to Covid:  0.18%  (less than 1%)

Total Deaths in 2019 (Source CDC.GOV):

Heart disease: 659,041  (0.20% of Total Population)

Cancer: 599,601             (0.18% of Total Population)

Accidents (unintentional injuries): 173,040

Chronic lower respiratory diseases: 156,979

Stroke (cerebrovascular diseases): 150,005

Alzheimer’s disease: 121,499

Diabetes: 87,647

Nephritis, nephrotic syndrome, and nephrosis: 51,565

Influenza and Pneumonia: 49,783

Intentional self-harm (suicide): 47,511

How many of these other deaths have been classified as Covid deaths?  What is the intent of those who dictate what the media reports? 

Remember, FATHER is always multiple moves ahead of what the world intends in the current chess game.  We must simply focus on becoming mature Sons and Daughters so that we will actively participate in The Divine Nature of the current MOVES OF FATHER.  HE is clearly uncovering the lies and nefarious attempts of the devil and his demons, especially the Jezebel spirit which my friend Steve wrote about.

Let each of us only focus on The Incorruptible Seed!

The Hardened Heart

Sunday, June 6th, 2021

Sacrificial love is always the key to opening the hearts of people we minister to and serve.  People with hardened hearts will not minister to the poor because they are not walking in Agape Love.  A person with a hardened heart will be drawn into sin thus making the Word of GOD of none effect.

The Beloved Disciple wrote in 1st John chapter 3:

18 Beloved children, our Love can’t be an abstract theory we only talk about, but a way of life demonstrated through our Loving deeds. 19 We know that the Truth lives within us because we demonstrate Love in action, which will reassure our hearts in HIS Presence.

Those with a hardened heart will not demonstrate Love in action.

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Hebrews chapter 3:

5 Indeed, Moses served God faithfully in all HE gave him to do. His work prophetically illustrates things that would later be spoken and fulfilled. 6 But Christ is more than a Servant, He was faithful as the Son in charge of God’s House. And now we are part of His House if we continue courageously to hold firmly to our bold confidence and our victorious hope.

7 This is why the Holy Spirit says,

If only you would listen to His Voice this day!

8 Don’t make Him angry by hardening your hearts,

    like your ancestors did during the days of their rebellion,

    when they were tested in the wilderness.

9 There your fathers tested Me and tried My patience

    even though they saw My miracles for forty years

    they still doubted Me!

10 This ignited My anger with that generation

    and I said about them, ‘They wander in their hearts

    just like they do with their feet,

    and they refuse to learn My ways.’

11 My heart grieved over them so I decreed:

    ‘They will not enter into My rest!’ ”

12 So search your hearts every day, my brothers and sisters, and make sure that none of you has evil or unbelief hiding within you. For it will lead you astray, and make you unresponsive to the living God. 13 This is the time to encourage each other to never be stubborn or hardened by sin’s deceitfulness. 14 For we are mingled with the Messiah, if we will continue unshaken in this confident assurance from the beginning until the end.

The word hardened means cold, insensitive, unfeeling, and unyielding.  Sin will harden your heart thus keeping fruit from being produced in your life. 

15 For again, the Scriptures say,

If only today you would listen to His Voice.

    Don’t make Him angry by hardening your hearts,

    as you did in the wilderness rebellion.

16 The same people who were delivered from bondage and brought out of Egypt by Moses, were the ones who heard and still rebelled. 17 They grieved God for forty years by sinning in their unbelief, until they dropped dead in the desert. 18 So God swore an oath that they would never enter into HIS calming place of rest all because they disobeyed HIM. 19 It is clear that they could not enter into their inheritance because they wrapped their hearts in unbelief.

Paul further wrote by The Holy Spirit in Hebrews chapter 11:

15 And if their hearts (Abraham and Sarah) were still remembering what they left behind (mindful), they would have found an opportunity to go back. 16 But they couldn’t turn back for their hearts were fixed on what was far greater, that is, the Heavenly realm!

If Abraham and Sarah had been mindful of going back to the Ur of Chaldees, their hearts would have become hardened resulting in sin.  Because they did not consider going back to their homeland, they were not tempted.  They gave no consideration for returning thus their faith remained strong and fruitful.

When you refuse to think on anything that is contrary to what FATHER has spoken to you, your faith continues to grow into the fullness of being a mature Son.  This is why we must guard our eyes and ears from the world’s manipulation and deceit.

Jesus spoke about the hardness of heart in Mark chapter 4 when He was describing the third group of people:

18 And what is sown among thorns represents those who hear the message, 19 but they allow the cares of this life and the seduction of wealth and the desires for other things to crowd out and choke the message so that it produces nothing.

When you think about the cares of this life and the seduction of wealth and the desires for other things, your heart becomes hardened and produces nothing.  The devil and his demons are well aware of this Truth and they will attempt to steer you into this mindset by drawing your attention from The Word.  They are competing for your attention with great subtlety.  Do not be deceived and manipulated!

Paul further wrote by The Holy Spirit in Romans chapter 4:

19 In spite of being nearly one hundred years old when the promise of having a son was made, his faith was so strong that it could not be undermined by the fact that he and Sarah were incapable of conceiving a child. 20–21 He never stopped believing God’s promise, for he was made strong in his faith to father a child. And because he was mighty in faith and convinced that God had all the power needed to fulfill his promises, Abraham glorified God!

22 So now you can see why Abraham’s faith was credited to his account as righteousness before God. 23 And this declaration was not just spoken over Abraham, 24 but also over us. For when we believe and embrace the ONE WHO brought our Lord Jesus back to life, perfect righteousness will be credited to our account as well. 25 Jesus was handed over to be crucified for the forgiveness of our sins and was raised back to life to prove that He had made us right with God!

We must guard our hearts without exception.  This is the key to Spiritual maturity.  If our hearts are hardened, then we will not fully embrace FATHER’S Word and will not produce the fruit we are meant to enjoy and distribute to others.  The adversary understands this Truth thus we must not let our guard down at any time or he will find a way to plant weeds in our soil.
