Peter wrote by The Holy Spirit in 2^nd Peter chapter 1:

1 This letter is from Simeon Peter, a loving servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ. I am writing to those who have been given a faith as equally precious as ours through the righteousness of our God and Savior, Jesus Christ. 2 May grace and perfect peace cascade over you as you live in the rich knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord.

Peter wrote this letter to you and me to encourage us to live in the RICH KNOWLEDGE of FATHER and Our Lord Jesus.  This richness is attainable and we are urged to walk in it daily.  If we do, perfect peace and grace will overflow in us and begin to affect others around us.  This overflow is an aspect of the Living Waters flowing out of our bellies and satisfying the thirst of those who sense an emptiness in their lives.

3 Everything we could ever need for life and Godliness has already been deposited in us by His Divine power. For all this was lavished upon us through the rich experience of knowing Him who has called us by name and invited us to come to Him through a glorious manifestation of His goodness. 4 As a result of this, He has given you magnificent promises that are beyond all price, so that through the power of these tremendous promises we can experience partnership with the Divine nature, by which you have escaped the corrupt desires that are of the world.

Jesus knows us because He knew us before we were formed in the womb.  He was involved in creating our gifts and callings (Psalm 139:16).  The angels have access to our books and they are aware of their appropriate ministry on our behalf.  We all  have riches deposited in us awaiting our use.  Why let those riches sit in a dormant state when they can be used to benefit not only us but those around us?  What does it take to access those riches?  Our devotion to walk according to The Word in Holiness.

5 So devote yourselves to lavishly supplementing your faith with goodness,

and to goodness add understanding,

6 and to understanding add the strength of self-control,

and to self-control add patient endurance,

and to patient endurance add Godliness,

7 and to Godliness add mercy toward your brothers and sisters,

and to mercy toward others add unending Love.

In the final analysis, we are to express Agape Love to others.  These virtues are fully attained as we devote ourselves to them.  To devote means: to wholly focus, direct attention, to set apart, to dedicate.  This is what I call “being all in”.  These virtues are already deposited in us because we have The Holy Spirit living inside us awaiting our devotion.  When we finally appreciate their importance, we will begin living life more abundantly and produce good fruit in all areas.  This fruit will become observable to others and they will seek answers from us rather than the world.  Peter continues:

8 Since these virtues are already planted deep within, and you possess them in abundant supply, they will keep you from being inactive or fruitless in your pursuit of knowing Jesus Christ more intimately. 9 But if anyone lacks these things, he is blind, constantly closing his eyes to the mysteries of our faith, and forgetting his innocence—for his past sins have been washed away.

We are all innocent because the Blood of Jesus washed our sins away.  We must embrace this Truth and let go of the past once and for all.  The adversary would like to keep us in the past where he was using us to promote his kingdom of darkness.  He definitely does not want us to access what is on deposit within us.

10 For this reason, Beloved ones, be eager to confirm and validate that God has invited you to salvation and claimed you as HIS own. If you do these things, you will never stumble. 11 As a result, the Kingdom’s gates will open wide to you as God choreographs your triumphant entrance into the eternal Kingdom of our Lord and Savior, Jesus the Messiah.

We are urged to confirm and validate our walk with HIM.  I purpose to do this daily as I begin the day praying in Tongues.  This tells my soul and body WHO is in charge and it further activates those virtues inside of me.  We must keep these deposited virtues before us and not allow ourselves to forget who we are in Christ.

12 I won’t hesitate to continually remind you of these Truths, even though you are aware of them and are well established in the present measure of Truth you have already embraced. 13 And as long as I live I will continue to awaken you with this reminder.

Life’s challenges can direct our focus to activities which are temporary in nature but demand our immediate attention.  However, we must not allow ourselves to become lax in our commitment to walk in the virtues listed above.  They are the solution to addressing all activities confronting us.  We can either toil on our own or we can be led by The Holy Spirit and be totally fruitful in accomplishing our daily activities.  It all depends on what we devote ourselves to on a daily basis.  Our devotion will open the gates of Heaven on our behalf and we will walk in the fullness of FATHER’S eternal Kingdom.  Those virtues on deposit will be fully activated for our use so there is no need to wait for some future event to occur.  Now is the time!

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

1 Later, Jesus appeared once again to a group of his disciples by Lake Galilee. 2 It happened one day while Peter, Thomas (the Twin), Nathanael (from Cana in Galilee), Jacob, John, and two other disciples were all together. 3 Peter told them, “I’m going fishing.” And they all replied, “We’ll go with you.” So they went out and fished through the night, but caught nothing.

In Luke 24:49, Jesus told the disciples to wait in Jerusalem for the day they would be clothed with power. Led by Peter, these seven apostles were not following what they had been told, and for this reason they caught nothing until Jesus joined them. He became the eighth man.  They toiled all night but were totally unsuccessful when they followed their soulish mindsets… all seven.

4 Then at dawn, Jesus was standing there on the shore, but the disciples didn’t realize that it was Him! 5 He called out to them, saying, “Hey guys! Did you catch any fish?”

“Not a thing,” they replied.

6 Jesus shouted to them, “Throw your net over the starboard (right) side, and you’ll catch some!” And so they did as he said, and they caught so many fish they couldn’t even pull in the net!

From total failure to an overabundance of resources, we must grasp this Truth when we hear from FATHER.  No matter how many times we have failed in the past or thought it was too late to walk in the fullness of GOD, one critical Word will change it all.  Embrace this Truth and you will see your life change in a moment.

7 Then the disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter, “It’s the Lord!” When Peter heard him say that, he quickly wrapped his outer garment around him, and because he was athletic, he dove right into the lake to go to Jesus! 8 The other disciples then brought the boat to shore, dragging their catch of fish. They weren’t far from land, only about a hundred meters. 9 And when they got to shore, they noticed a charcoal fire with some roasted fish and bread. 10 Then Jesus said, “Bring some of the fish you just caught.”

Jesus was not reluctant to feed them from the fish they caught.  He also provided the “manna” from Heaven.

11 So Peter waded into the water and helped pull the net to shore. It was full of many large fish, exactly one hundred and fifty-three, but even with so many fish, the net was not torn.

12 “Come, let’s have some breakfast,” Jesus said to them.

And not one of the disciples needed to ask who it was, because every one of them knew it was the Lord. 13 Then Jesus came close to them and served them the bread and the fish. 14 This was the third time Jesus appeared to his disciples after his resurrection.

The number “153” has multiple facets to it.  It is the numerical value of “Sons of GOD” but the number 153 is the numerical total for the Hebrew phrase Ani Elohim, which means “I am God”.  Both point to the same Truth, The Sons are the image of “I AM” on earth.

After their breakfast and Jesus restored Peter as a true disciple to feed the sheep.  What was the physical purpose of the 153 large fish?  It would fund their ministries for an extended period of time as well as allow them to prepare in the upper room for the coming of The Comforter.  Financial pressure was removed from them.

As Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Colossians chapter 1:

26 There is a Divine mystery—a secret surprise that has been concealed from the world for generations, but now it’s being revealed, unfolded and manifested for every Holy believer to experience. 27 Living within you is the Christ Who floods you with the expectation of glory! This mystery of Christ, embedded within us, becomes a Heavenly treasure chest of hope filled with the riches of glory for His people, and God wants everyone to know it!

As we embrace FATHER’S willingness to provide us with all the resources we need to fulfill our individual callings, we will seek to hear which side of the boat to fish on.  Our unproductiveness will cease and be replaced with an overabundance.

Correction deals with where you are versus where you should be according to your calling.  If you are in sin, correction may be harsh in your eyes yet it is necessary to save your soul.

Paul spoke by The Holy Spirit in 1^st Corinthians chapter 4:

14 I’m not writing this to embarrass you or to shame you, but to correct you as the children I Love. 15 For although you could have countless babysitters in Christ telling you what you’re doing wrong, you don’t have many fathers who correct you in Love. But I’m a true father to you, for I became your father when I gave you the Gospel and brought you into union with Jesus, the Anointed One. 16 So I encourage you, my children, to follow the example that I live before you.

What was the issue at Corinth?  He explained this in chapter 3:

3 Brothers and sisters, when I was with you I found it impossible to speak to you as those who are spiritually mature people, for you are still dominated by the mind-set of the flesh. And because you are immature infants in Christ, 2 I had to nurse you and feed you with “milk,” not with the solid food of more advanced teachings, because you weren’t ready for it. In fact, you are still not ready to be fed solid food, 3 for you are living your lives dominated by the mind-set of the flesh. Ask yourselves: Is there jealousy among you? Do you compare yourselves with others? Do you quarrel like children and end up taking sides? If so, this proves that you are living your lives centered on yourselves, dominated by the mind-set of the flesh, and behaving like unbelievers. 4 For when you divide yourselves up in groups—a “Paul group” and an “Apollos group”—you’re acting like people without the Spirit’s influence.

As I have written many times in the past, our mindsets must change if we are to become fully mature in The Holy Spirit and fulfill our callings.  We first must focus on Agape Love and embrace all that The Holy Spirit instructs.  He is speaking only what FATHER directs specific to our life, not the “Paul group” and an “Apollos group” or whatever teacher you have exalted in the past. 

The Holy Spirit will test all teachings and provide you a witness to the veracity of what is being taught by those who claim to have revelation.  If you disregard The Holy Spirit, it is at your peril!

We are not to tolerate “sin in the camp.”  Paul brings up this very issue with the immature church at Corinth.  Paul spoke by The Holy Spirit in 1^st Corinthians chapter 5 AND by Agape Love:

1–2 It’s been widely reported that there is gross sexual immorality among you—the kind of immorality that’s so revolting it’s not even tolerated by the social norms of unbelievers. Are you proud of the fact that one of your men is having sex with his stepmother? Shouldn’t this heartbreaking scandal bring you to your knees in tears? You must remove the offender from among you!

3 Even though I am physically far away from you, my spirit is present with you. And as one who is present with you, I have already evaluated and judged the perpetrator. 4 So call a meeting, and when you gather together in the name of our Lord Jesus, and you know my spirit is present with you in the infinite power of our Lord Jesus, 5 release this man over to Satan for the destruction of his rebellious flesh, in hope that his spirit may be rescued and restored in the day of the Lord.

This is a tough Word, especially when it applies to a loved one.  However, we must not let an opinion surface and compromise The Word.  We are to let him suffer the consequences of his actions.  FATHER tolerates no sin in The Holy of Holies, neither should we.  We cannot have a totally intimate relationship in the Secret Place if we allow sin amongst us.  We cannot fellowship with rebellious flesh and expect the power and authority to flow through us.

Apparently this man learned his lesson and repented, for Paul instructs the Corinthians in 2^nd Corinthians chapter 2 to forgive and comfort him:

1 So until these issues were settled, I decided against paying you another painful visit. 2 For if I brought you pain, you would be unable to bring me joy. 3 And this was the very point I made in my letter, for I didn’t want to come and find sadness filling the very ones who should give me cheer. But I’m confident that you will do what’s right so that my joyous delight will be yours.

4 I wrote you previously sobbing and with a broken heart. I was filled with anguish and deep distress. I had no intention of causing you pain but to convey the overwhelming measure of my Love for you. 5 For the one who has caused me grief has not only grieved me but, to some extent, has caused you all grief as well. 6 I believe that your united rebuke has been punishment enough for him. 7 Instead of more punishment, what he needs most is your encouragement through your gracious display of forgiveness. 8 I beg you to reaffirm your deep Love for him.

9 You see, I wrote previously in order to see if your hearts would pass the test and if you were willing to follow my counsel in everything. 10 If you freely forgive anyone for anything, then I also forgive him. And if I have forgiven anything, I did so for you before the face of Christ, 11 so that we would not be exploited by the adversary, Satan, for we know his clever schemes.

Paul’s deep distress was expressed in his emotions.  However, this did not prevent him from urging them to remove the sin in the camp.  Yes, we may take an emotional hit when we express the requirement for separation but in the end, it is critical to our calling.

Unless we deal with sin in a righteous manner as explained by The Holy Spirit through Paul, we will be exploited by the adversary.  This is just one of his clever schemes.  He will use someone close to you in order to cause a separation between you and FATHER.  It will become difficult to hear The Holy Spirit and you will cease to mature.  We can no longer tolerate any hindrance to our maturity for it will keep the Living waters from flowing through us.

To reemphasize concerning yesterday’s post, Jesus revealed many Truths in John chapter 7 and spoke specifically concerning the prophetic 8^th day of Tabernacles being fulfilled:

37 Then on the most important day of the feast, the last day (8^th day of Tabernacles), Jesus stood and shouted out to the crowds—“All you thirsty ones, come to Me! Come to Me and drink! 38 Believe in Me so that rivers of Living Water will burst out from within you, flowing from your innermost being, just like the Scripture says!”

39 Jesus was prophesying about the Holy Spirit that believers were being prepared to receive. But the Holy Spirit had not yet been poured out upon them, because Jesus had not yet been unveiled in His full splendor.

We are not waiting for this prophecy of the 8^th Day of Tabernacles to be fulfilled, Jesus clearly pointed to the Baptism of The Holy Spirit being its fulfillment.  There was no other future day other than this being referenced.  We must be careful to pay no attention to man’s opinions about some other future fulfillment… Jesus didn’t.  As a matter of fact, He addressed man’s opinions:

16 So Jesus responded, “I don’t teach My own ideas, but the Truth revealed to me by the One Who sent me. 17 If you want to test My teachings and discover where I received them, first be passionate to do God’s will, and then you will be able to discern if My teachings are from the heart of God or from My own opinions. 18 Charlatans praise themselves and seek honor from men, but My Father sent me to speak Truth on His behalf. And I have no false motive, because I seek only the glory of God. 19 Moses has given you the law, but not one of you is faithful to keep it. So if you are all law-breakers, why then would you seek to kill Me?”

20 Then some in the crowd shouted out, “You must be out of your mind! Who’s trying to kill you?”

An opinion is the judgment which the mind forms concerning any proposition, statement, theory or event.  It does not produce absolute knowledge or certainty.  From circumstances one will form opinions respecting future events.  It relies on current understanding rather than Absolute Truth thus there it is open to uncertainty and error.  Jesus did not teach opinions but only spoke as FATHER directed which is Absolute Truth.

Jesus further spoke in John chapter 14:

15 “Loving Me empowers you to obey My commands. 16–17 And I will ask the Father and He 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.

The Holy Spirit only speaks Absolute Truth and lives inside of us.  We are not victims or orphans but we all have a FATHER WHO Loves us and wants to direct our every step.

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.”

Once again, it is all about Love!  Jesus clearly states that He will live in us as well.  Now, Jesus speaks forth another Absolute Truth to us as well as reemphasizing being obedient to His Words:

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.

Now, FATHER is also included in the Truth that HE dwells in us as well. So, Jesus reveals the reality that all three, FATHER, Jesus, and The Holy Spirit, are dwelling in those who passionately Love THEM.  Not only will they Love All Three, but they will do all that is commanded by THEM.  Opinions have no place in this reality, only the Absolute Truth.

Jesus then addresses those who opt to live by their own opinions and who do not have passionate Love for Him, FATHER, or The Holy Spirit.  They will not obey HIS Words nor will they solely focus on the Absolute Truth.

24 But those who don’t Love Me will not obey My Words. The Father did not send Me to speak My own revelation, but the Words of my Father. 25 I am telling you this while I am still with you. 26 But when the Father sends the Spirit of Holiness, the One like Me Who sets you free, He will teach you all things in My Name. And He will inspire you to remember every Word that I’ve told you.

Walking in Agape Love is critical to us being manifested as Sons and Daughters.  We must only speak Absolute Truth and stay away from any temptation to speak forth opinions.  The world is full of opinions.  You and I are not called to walk in this manner.  If you are uncertain, do not speak.  Instead, seek The Holy Spirit and get your position from The Word.  We can express joy and Love to others but do not get trapped in debates or arguments for they promote personal opinions.

Neither Jesus nor The Holy Spirit do anything on Their own. Should we be any different? A mature Son or Daughter only does what FATHER directs by HIS Divine Intent!

Because you and I have been made Holy in Christ, now there is nothing between us and Father God, for HE sees us as Holy, flawless, and restored to HIM.  In order to move on to the fullness of our individual callings, we must fully embrace this Truth which provides us a firm foundation for our faith to grow.  IF you don’t embrace this Truth, you will not become fully mature and advance to great faith.  It is your choice.

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Colossians chapter 1:

23 if indeed you continue to advance in faith, assured of a firm foundation to grow upon. Never be shaken from the hope of the Gospel you have believed in. And this is the glorious news I preach all over the world.

The word preach means to publish, proclaim openly with gravity and an authority which must be listened to and obeyed.  Paul’s willingness to suffer as a servant to the Called-out Ones was one aspect of his commitment to the Truth of the Gospel.

He was once an enemy of Christ but now he is a servant of Jesus Christ for the benefit of the saints.  He was the twelfth Apostle and not Matthias.  Matthias was selected by a “roll of the dice” in Acts chapter 1, but Paul was selected by Jesus on the road to Damascus.  Paul mentions this calling in Galatians chapter 1: an apostle, not of men, neither by man, but by Jesus Christ, and God the Father, Who raised Him from the dead.  We need to put the dice away and any other manmade means of attempting to discern FATHER’S perfect plan, will, and purpose.  The Holy Spirit is the One to guide us, not the moon, stars, pendulums, kinesiology, or any other signs preferred by the soul.

24 I can even celebrate the sorrows I have experienced on your behalf; for as I join with you in your difficulties, it helps you to discover what lacks in your understanding of the sufferings Jesus Christ experienced for His Body, the church. 25 This is the very reason I’ve been made a minister by the authority of God and a servant to His Body, so that in HIS detailed plan I would fully equip you with the Word of God.

Paul’s mandate was and is to fully equip us with the revelation of The Word of GOD.  It is my current mandate as well.  Would FATHER have me write over 4,000 blogs if it weren’t?  This is one aspect of fruitfulness which can be inspected by anyone.  I personally benefit first because I get to hear then write what THE SPIRIT is saying for that day. 

Each day my gratitude increases because of what Christ did for me at the cross.  Further, FATHER’S Love is shown to me on a daily basis by the fact that The Holy Spirit lives inside me and guides me as I listen to Him.  I have countless testimonies of His guidance.  It is my desire for you to have the same testimonies.

Paul continues:

26 There is a Divine mystery—a secret surprise that has been concealed from the world for generations, but now it’s being revealed, unfolded and manifested for every Holy believer to experience. 27 Living within you is the Christ Who floods you with the expectation of glory! This mystery of Christ, embedded within us, becomes a Heavenly treasure chest of hope filled with the riches of glory for His people, and God wants everyone to know it!

Are you living with the expectation of glory?  If not, you should.  As I have written often in the recent past, our mindsets have been the restriction preventing us from walking in the fullness of this expectation of glory.  FATHER is not reluctant to empower us for that power lives inside of us.  The rivers of Living water are waiting to flow through us without restriction. 

Jesus spoke of this in John chapter 7:

37 Then on the most important day of the feast, the last day, Jesus stood and shouted out to the crowds—“All you thirsty ones, come to Me! Come to Me and drink! 38 Believe in Me so that rivers of Living Water will burst out from within you, flowing from your innermost being, just like the Scripture says!”

39 Jesus was prophesying about the Holy Spirit that believers were being prepared to receive. But the Holy Spirit had not yet been poured out upon them, because Jesus had not yet been unveiled in His full splendor.

Is The Holy Spirit bursting out from within you?  If not, then it is time to change.  I have heard many teachings on the 8^th day of Tabernacles and that we are waiting for its fulfillment as though it will be some external event for all to observe.  The Beloved Disciple John who had the revelation of Agape Love told us the Words of Jesus concerning the 8^th day.  We need not be observers only but are called to be in the midst of the “bursting out” of the rivers of Living water.

Paul continues by THE SPIRIT in Colossians chapter 1:

28–29 Christ is our message! We preach to awaken hearts and bring every person into the full understanding of Truth. It has become my inspiration and passion in ministry to labor with a tireless intensity, with His power flowing through me, to present to every believer the revelation of being His perfect One in Jesus Christ.

It is time to awaken the hearts with the full understanding of Truth.  Now is the time!

We need to speak from the Heavenly realm, not the worldly realm.  Our words are meant to encourage, not discourage those around us.  Our words should produce life as they enter the hearts of those who have ears to hear.  We should not speak forth the opinions of man but rather speak the Oracles of GOD where Truth resides.

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Colossians chapter 1:

15 Jesus is the Divine portrait, the true likeness of the invisible God, and the firstborn heir of all creation.

What does “all creation” include?  It includes every living thing, persons, and unborn children, without exception.  Paul provides further explanation of what all means:

16 For in Him was created the universe of things, both in the Heavenly realm and on the earth, all that is seen and all that is unseen. Every seat of power, realm of government, principality, and authority—it all exists through Him and for His purpose! 17 He existed before anything was made, and now everything finds completion in Him.

Jesus is making the decisions about our lives, not the government.  Jesus was not enslaved by Rome or the Pharisees.  They were powerless to quench the Divine Intent of FATHER and the plan of salvation.

If He is the firstborn, then what about those of us who are also Sons and Daughters of FATHER?  Jesus made us heirs as well thus we have FATHER’S authority over the earth and its contents.  Everything exists for His Purpose and nothing else.  Man can temporarily circumvent FATHER’S Divine Intent but in the end, FATHER’S purpose will be manifest on earth as we overcome the enemy and establish HIS Kingdom here on the earth.  Our power and authority exists solely because of Jesus Christ Who now sits on the Throne.  No one else has any true power or authority outside of His.

18 He is the Head of His Body, which is the true church (the called-out ones). And since He is the beginning and the firstborn heir in resurrection, He is the most exalted One, holding first place in everything. 19 For God is satisfied to have all HIS fullness dwelling in Christ. 20 And by the blood of His cross, everything in heaven and earth is brought back to Himself—back to its original intent (including you and me), restored to innocence again!

The called-out ones are the ones who are Holy and truly separate from the world.  Peter wrote by The Holy Spirit in 1^st Peter chapter 1:

14 As God’s obedient children, never again shape your lives by the desires that you followed when you didn’t know better. 15 Instead, shape your lives to become like the Holy One Who called you. 16 For Scripture says:

“You are to be Holy, because I am Holy.”

17 Since you call on HIM as your Heavenly Father, the impartial Judge who judges according to each one’s works, live each day with holy awe and reverence throughout your time on earth. 18 For you know that your lives were ransomed once and for all from the empty and futile way of life handed down from generation to generation. It was not a ransom payment of silver and gold, which eventually perishes, 19 but the precious Blood of Christ—who like a spotless, unblemished lamb was sacrificed for us.

20 This was part of God’s plan, for He was chosen and destined for this before the foundation of the earth was laid, but He has been made manifest in these last days for you. 21 It is through Him that you now believe in God, WHO raised Him from the dead and glorified Him, so that you would fasten your faith and hope in God alone.

The “church” is not comprised of a building or a group of people attending on Sunday mornings.  It is comprised of those who pursue Holiness and have separated themselves from the world and its trappings.  We are to walk in Agape Love toward others and maintain the purity of our souls.

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.

FATHER has restored our innocence through the power and authority of the Blood of Christ.  We are no longer guilty therefore we should not be reluctant to enter the Secret Place and spend time with FATHER. (Psalm 91)

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in 2^nd 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.

Paul continues by The Holy Spirit in Colossians chapter 1:

21–22 Even though you were once distant from Him, living in the shadows of your evil thoughts and actions, He reconnected you back to Himself. He released His supernatural peace to you through the sacrifice of His own Body as the sin-payment on your behalf so that you would dwell in His presence. And now there is nothing between you and Father God, for He sees you as Holy, flawless, and restored, 23 if indeed you continue to advance in faith, assured of a firm foundation to grow upon. Never be shaken from the hope of the Gospel you have believed in.

The Blood of Jesus Christ restored us to our original innocence so let us embrace this Absolute Truth without reluctance.  There is nothing capable of separating us from the Love of Christ so let us walk in the purity of Love today.

All contributions to Servias are currently being used to help school kids in need of food, clothing, and other essentials. Their parents (or parent) have faced many financial difficulties which in turn have caused the kids to be discouraged. We expect this to change as we continue to assist those kids in need.

The word “uplift” means: an instance of being raised or increased: something that makes a person feel more cheerful, positive, or optimistic.

Society has categorized these families as “low income” or “poor”. We, on the other hand, call these families full of potential. Our giving is meant to en-courage those who are now dis-couraged. Our giving provides them hope as we plant seeds of Agape Love in their households.

My wife and I give because we know FATHER is faithful to bless us in our giving and has consistently been Our Provider for nearly five decades. Servias gives to these kids because we know without a doubt that they need assistance. We give our tithes and offerings through Servias because we are assured that all funds are used to provide much needed hope at a time when kids are facing such challenging times. We appreciate all those who are able to join us in this endeavor.

When we walk fully submitted to The Holy Spirit, we then walk in the full authority given to us from FATHER, and that authority is unlimited in power.  In order to come to full maturity as a Son, we must grasp this Truth.  A mature Son will walk in the full authority of Our Heavenly Father and Jesus is the Perfect Example of this reality. 

Once Jesus encountered great faith by the Centurion, He operated in the unlimited higher realm where there is no time or space limitation.  In order for us to operate in this same realm, our mindsets must change.  Don’t let your soulish logic or reasoning prevent you from grasping this Truth.  Your past experience should not dictate your willingness to change.  We must crucify the flesh and move on.  We can walk in authority because we are under authority.

Matthew recorded by The Holy Spirit in Matthew chapter 20:

20 Then the mother of Zebedee’s sons came to Him (Jesus) with her sons, kneeling down and asking something from Him.

21 And He said to her, “What do you wish?”

She said to Him, “Grant that these two sons of mine may sit, one on Your right hand and the other on the left, in Your kingdom.”

22 But Jesus answered and said, “You do not know what you ask. Are you able to drink the cup that I am about to drink, and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with?”

They said to Him, “We are able.”

23 So He said to them, “You will indeed drink My cup, and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with; but to sit on My right hand and on My left is not Mine to give, but it is for those for whom it is prepared by My Father.”

24 And when the ten heard it, they were greatly displeased with the two brothers. 25 But Jesus called them to Himself and said, “You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and those who are great exercise authority over them. 26 Yet it shall not be so among you; but whoever desires to become great among you, let him be your servant. 27 And whoever desires to be first among you, let him be your slave— 28 just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many.”

“Servant-hood” is another key to the supernatural power of GOD allowing the Heavenly realm to manifest in this life and requires the person to understand the effectiveness of serving.  Being a servant and taking the lower position allows someone to experience promotion from THE LORD.

Jesus wants us to serve people and He will promote us from that place.  Everything that you do for others is recorded in Heaven on your behalf.  When I give to the impoverished kids, I serve them even if they do not realize who it is that is feeding and clothing them… but FATHER knows and makes a record of my willingness to serve without recognition from the recipient. 

When I tithe and give offerings with a pure heart, I serve others as those offerings are being consumed on behalf of The Kingdom.  These actions encourage me to walk in great faith and increase my serving (and giving) to others.  I “get in order to give and serve” rather than “give in order to get”.  As we walk in this revelation, more resources open up for our access, use, and distribution.

It is fine for you to be counted as “the last” for you will not stay there very long.  FATHER will promote you to a higher level.  Self-promotion does not work in the Kingdom.  Selfishness does not exist in Heaven so we should eradicate it from our mindsets all together.  GOD promotes the person who is willing to serve.

GOD Loves humility and it is noted in Heaven.  Some people have attempted to promote themselves forward in order to gain position.  In the business realm, we termed this the Peter Principle where people rose to their level of incompetence. 

In the Kingdom, FATHER promotes people to their most effective level of service to others based on their revelation of power and authority.  There is no incompetence in this realm.  FATHER knows where you are going because HE wrote your book before you were formed in the womb thus you will be promoted to the fullness of your calling as you serve others according to that calling.

The Holy Spirit has delivered us from our limitations and ourselves.  The arrival of The Holy Spirit came in great demonstrations as Luke recorded by THE SPIRIT in Acts chapter 2:

1 On the day Pentecost was being fulfilled, all the disciples were gathered in one place. 2 Suddenly they heard the sound of a violent blast of wind rushing into the house from out of the Heavenly realm. The roar of the wind was so overpowering it was all anyone could bear! 3 Then all at once a pillar of fire appeared before their eyes. It separated into tongues of fire that engulfed each one of them. 4 They were all filled and equipped with the Holy Spirit and were inspired to speak in tongues—empowered by the Spirit to speak in languages they had never learned!

We should expect supernatural manifestations of The Holy Spirit in our walk just as they experienced in the book of Acts.  We have been baptized in power which awaits our exercise of that power.  Until then, it lays dormant within us.  That indwelling in each of us has the Absolute Truth contained inside and is waiting to be expressed with the demonstration of power and authority.

Jesus spoke in Mark chapter 11:

22 Jesus replied, “Let the faith of God be in you! 23 Listen to the truth I speak to you: Whoever says to this mountain with great faith and does not doubt, ‘Mountain, be lifted up and thrown into the midst of the sea,’ and believes that what he says will happen, it will be done. 24 This is the reason I urge you to boldly believe for whatever you ask for in prayer—be convinced that you have received it and it will be yours

If great faith wasn’t possible, Jesus would not have urged us to walk in it.  If we did not have the ability to walk in “the faith of God”, He would not have included it in the above passage.  The Holy Spirit awaits our mindset change brought on by the revelation of the above Words of Jesus!  As we lead a crucified life, we will live in the same manner as Jesus and fulfill His Directives such as the one above.

Let the limitations be lifted immediately!

When you discern authority given to us by FATHER, it is unlimited in nature, it is unlimited in power.  Heaven on earth involves discerning authority and operating in it.  This Truth was made clear in Matthew chapter 8 when Jesus encountered the Roman soldier and spoke concerning this revelation of great faith:

5 When Jesus entered the village of Capernaum, a captain in the Roman army approached Him, asking for a miracle. 6 “Lord,” he said, “I have a son who is lying in my home, paralyzed and suffering terribly.”

7 Jesus responded, “I will go with you and heal him.”

Jesus had no reluctance whatsoever to heal the son.  As well, He had no reservations about responding to a Gentile, even though He was called to minister to Israelites.

8–9 But the Roman officer interjected, “Lord, who am I to have You come into my house? I understand Your authority, for I too am a man who walks under authority and have authority over soldiers who serve under me. I can tell one to go and he’ll go, and another to come and he’ll come. I command my servants and they’ll do whatever I ask. So I know that all You need to do is to stand here and command healing over my son and he will be instantly healed.”

Authority from FATHER supersedes time and space.  Jesus did not have to make the trek to the Centurion’s house nor did He have to lay hands on the son to receive his healing.  Authority is not restricted by physical limitations.  Jesus was willing to operate at the lower physical level and go to the Centurion’s house but when the revelation of great faith came forth, then Jesus operated at a higher level, above the physical.

10 Jesus was astonished when He heard this and said to those who were following Him, “He has greater faith than anyone I’ve encountered in Israel! 11 Listen to what I am about to tell you. Multitudes of Gentiles will stream from the east and the west, to enter into the Heavenly Kingdom with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. 12 But many Israelites, born to be heirs of the Kingdom, will be turned away and banished into the darkness where there will be bitter weeping and unbearable anguish.”

13 Then Jesus turned to the Roman officer and said, “Go home. All that you have believed for will be done for you!” And his son was healed at that very moment.

An important Key to the Kingdom was just given in this passage, if we truly understand authority given to us from FATHER and walk in it, we will walk in great faith and no longer be limited by the physical.  Jesus revealed this revelation as He clearly stated that the Gentiles would be heirs of the Heavenly Kingdom and that many Israelites would not receive their intended inheritance due to their lack of faith in the authority of Jesus Christ.  Great faith is not limited to a select few.

Jesus spoke in Matthew chapter 7:

21 “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter into Heaven’s kingdom. It is only those who persist in doing the will of My Heavenly Father. 22 On the day of judgment many will say to Me, ‘Lord, Lord, don’t You remember us? Didn’t we prophesy in your name? Didn’t we cast out demons and do many miracles in Your name?’ 23 But I will have to say to them, ‘Go away from Me, you lawless rebels! I’ve never been joined to you!’

24 “Everyone who hears my teaching and applies it to his life can be compared to a wise man who built his house on an unshakable foundation. 25 When the rains fell and the flood came, with fierce winds beating upon his house, it stood firm because of its strong foundation.

26 “But everyone who hears My teaching and does not apply it to his life can be compared to a foolish man who built his house on sand. 27 When it rained and rained and the flood came, with wind and waves beating upon his house, it collapsed and was swept away.”

28 By the time Jesus finished speaking, the crowds were awestruck by His teaching, 29 because His Words carried such great authority, quite unlike the religious scholars.

Jesus taught from an inner knowledge of God and his Word, for His teaching emphasized obedience to God from the heart, not just outwardly keeping laws.  If we don’t deal with the inward man, we will not be “joined” with Jesus.  You can invoke the Law and produce results, yet if you don’t do it with Agape Love as your motivation, you have not embraced the teachings of Jesus.

The scribes and the Pharisees had no power behind their words for they were “religious” in their teachings.  Wisdom wrote in Proverbs chapter 25:

14 Clouds that carry no water

    and a wind that brings no refreshing rain—

    that’s what you’re like when you boast

    of a gift that you don’t have.

When there is no Kingdom power and authority demonstrated, the religious scholars were like clouds without rain.

Peter recorded by The Holy Spirit in 2^nd Peter chapter 2:

15 They have wandered off the main road and have gone astray, because they are prophets who love profit—the wages they earn by wrongdoing. They are following the example of Balaam, son of Beor, 16 who was rebuked for evil by a donkey incapable of speech yet that spoke with a human voice and restrained the prophet’s madness.

17 These people are dried-up riverbeds, waterless clouds pushed along by stormy winds—the deepest darkness of gloom has been prepared for them. 18 They spout off with their grandiose, impressive nonsense. Consumed with the lusts of the flesh, they lure back into sin those who recently escaped from their error. 19 They promise others freedom, yet they themselves are slaves to corruption, for people are slaves to whatever overcomes them.

We must be careful to separate ourselves from the false prophets whose fruit turns out to be grandiose, impressive nonsense.  We do not want to be overcome by their slavery brought on by their error.  When we are empty and false, we too are clouds without rain.

The symbols of clouds, wind, and rain are significant. Clouds are often a metaphor for the people of God filled with glory. Wind is an emblem of the Holy Spirit bringing new life. Rain often points to teaching the revelation-Truths that refresh and water the seeds of spiritual growth.

It is recorded by The Holy Spirit in Isaiah chapter 55:

10 ​​“For as the rain comes down, and the snow from Heaven,

​​And do not return there,

​​But water the earth,

​​And make it bring forth and bud,

​​That it may give seed to the sower

​​And bread to the eater,

11 ​​So shall My Word be that goes forth from My mouth;

​​It shall not return to Me void,

​​But it shall accomplish what I please,

​​And it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it.

 God’s anointed people are to be clouds carried by the wind of the Holy Spirit that bring refreshing truths to his people.

And Jude expressed by THE SPIRIT:

12 False teachers are like dangerous hidden reefs at your love feasts, lying in wait to shipwreck the immature. They feast among you without reverence, having no shepherd but themselves. They are clouds with no rain, swept along by the winds. Like fruitless late-autumn trees—twice dead, barren, and plucked up by the roots!

Clouds without rain are fruitless and we are called to be fruit inspectors, especially when it concerns prophecies.
