It is written by THE SPIRIT in Acts chapter 2:

38 Then Peter said to them, “Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.

39 For the promise is to you and to your children, and to all who are afar off, as many as the Lord our God will call.”

40 And with many other words he testified and exhorted them, saying, “Be saved from this perverse generation.”

41 Then those who gladly received his word were baptized; and that day about three thousand souls were added to them.

42 And they continued steadfastly in the apostles’ doctrine and fellowship, in the breaking of bread, and in prayers.

43 Then fear came upon every soul, and many wonders and signs were done through the apostles.

44 Now all who believed were together, and had all things in common,

45 and sold their possessions and goods, and divided them among all, as anyone had need.

46 So continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, they ate their food with gladness and simplicity of heart,

47 praising God and having favor with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily those who were being saved.

We do not have to be Biblical scholars to be blessed by FATHER.  When we realize the true nature of walking and being led by The Holy Spirit, we begin to experience extreme joy and gladness.  We can’t help but praise Our Heavenly Father for Who HE is and what HE has done in our lives.  We become grateful and begin trusting IN HIM to supply our needs.  As a result, we will experience favor with all the people in which we come in contact.  I have experienced this Truth many times over the years as people are led to do things which benefit us whether they realize it or not.

The believers began the “de-clutter” process and sold possessions and goods, taking the proceeds and assisted those in need.  If you were to empty out the storage units in the U.S. and sold the contents, I suspect an abundance of needs would be met.  When we fully walk in Agape Love, possessions no longer rule us and our focus is toward helping others rather than accumulating and enriching soulish passions.

Agape Love leads us toward simplicity and frees up time to become a blessing to others.  It does not require us to seek out complexity which enslaves mankind.  Technology is a great example of complexity enslaving us.  Just how many passwords must we remember if we fully embrace all the technology thrown at us?  Mystery Babylon wants us to no longer write checks of carry cash to pay for goods and services.  Why?  It is all about control.  They want to know every transaction we complete and charge us 1 to 3% for handling the transaction.  The store adds this cost to your purchase so you don’t realize the true cost.  On the other hand, Agape Love moves toward simplicity of life.  When Mystery Babylon falls, their complexities will disintegrate and we will look back at all the unnecessary and subtle enslavement heaped upon mankind.  We will give FATHER the deserved praise for setting us free from the bands of wickedness.  We will be exceeding joyful in our praise!

I recommend that you start each day by writing down three things your are grateful for in your life in a journal of some type.

Secondly, I recommend that you end each day by writing down three things that happened during the day of which you are grateful.

It has been found that 70% of most people’s thoughts are negative and those negative thoughts impact your health, even in the slightest manner on a day to day basis.  It is important to do this each day which happens to reduce your overall negative thought influence.  Researchers are discovering what FATHER revealed many years ago in Psalm 118:

24 ​​This is the day the LORD has made;

​​We will rejoice and be glad in it.

Think about it.  As for me, I am grateful you have read this blog!

FATHER spoke by HIS SPIRIT in Proverbs chapter 4:

1 Hear, my children, the instruction of a Father,

​​And give attention to know understanding;

2 ​​For I give you good doctrine: ​​Do not forsake my law.

FATHER has personalized this Word to you and me as a Father who instructs His children.  This is not some distant God Who has no interest in our daily affairs, but instead this is Our Loving FATHER WHO seeks the best for us on a daily basis.  It is HIS desire for us to live a full life without any hindrances such as sickness or disease.  FATHER continues:

5 ​​Get wisdom! Get understanding!  ​​Do not forget, nor turn away from the words of my mouth.

6 ​​Do not forsake her, and she will preserve you;  ​​Love her, and she will keep you.

7 ​​Wisdom is the principal thing; ​​Therefore get wisdom.  ​​And in all your getting, get understanding.

Knowledge and skill provide the “how to”, but wisdom and understanding provide the appropriate “when”, “what”, and “why”.  The immature person thinks he or she knows everything and needs no counsel from someone who has wisdom and understanding.  This is why mistakes continue to be made throughout generations.  Wisdom and understanding are missing in many of the decisions affecting people’s lives thus leading people to a life of scarcity.

20 ​​My son, give attention to my words; ​​Incline your ear to my sayings.

21 ​​Do not let them depart from your eyes; ​​Keep them in the midst of your heart;

22 ​​For they are life to those who find them, ​​And health to all their flesh.

Notice that FATHER qualifies the above when HE says “they are life to those who find them.”  We must find and retain HIS Words, not just read or hear them once and think that is sufficient.  A wise son or daughter meditates on HIS Word day and night.  We are instructed to keep the Word in the midst of our heart and then out of the abundance of our heart, our mouth speaks.  The Word and Its spiritual energy then permeates our entire being and heals our body thus causing the life of sickness and disease to die and dry up, no longer affecting us.  Lastly, we will speak forth praise as mentioned in Psalm 9 even before we see any physical manifestation:

1 I will praise You, O LORD, with my whole heart;

​​I will tell of all Your marvelous works.

2 ​​I will be glad and rejoice in You;

​​I will sing praise to Your name, O Most High.

Let our praise come forth continually, expressing our Love and gratitude toward FATHER for all HE is and has done in our lives.

In the Book of Acts chapter 13, Paul spoke by THE SPIRIT:

22 And when HE (Our Heavenly Father) had removed him (Saul), He raised up for them David as king, to whom also He gave testimony and said, ‘I have found David the son of Jesse, a man after My own heart, who will do all My will.’

23 From this man’s seed, according to the promise, God raised up for Israel a Savior—Jesus.

There are multiple references proclaiming David to be a “type and shadow” of Our Lord Jesus Christ.  We know that Jesus fulfilled all of FATHER’S Divine Intent and will, more so than David could have in his time.  There is only one Savior for mankind and no other person could or should be exalted in the eyes of the believers.  Given this reality, the following should further provide those with ears to hear and eyes to see, a greater perspective of a little known fact concerning David.  What is the name of David’s mother?  My beloved close friend sent this exhaustive research to me:

Looking at David’s lineage we find that David’s father, Jesse:

Begat his firstborn Eliab, and Abinadab the second, and Shimma the third, Nethaneel the fourth, Raddai the fifth, Ozem the sixth, David the seventh: Whose sisters were Zeruiah, and Abigail. And the sons of Zeruiah; Abishai, and Joab, and Asahel, three. And Abigail bare Amasa: and the father of Amasa was Jether the Ishmeelite.

Notice if you will it says Zeruiah and Abigail were David’s sisters and not Jesse’s daughters.

Now continuing on Scripture has told us that Amasa was Abigail’s son and that after David was ousted by Absalom that: 

Absalom made Amasa captain of the host instead of Joab: which Amasa was a man’s son, whose name was Ithra an Israelite, that went in to Abigail the daughter of Nahash, sister to Zeruiah Joab’s mother.

From this Scripture we can now confirm that both Abigail and Zeruiah were daughters of Nahash, not daughters of Jesse.  They are David’s sisters with the same mother as David but a different father named Nahash.  We also learn that both Amasa and Joab are sons of Abigail and Zeruiah and are therefore first cousins of David.  However, David’s sisters, Abigail and Zeruiah have to be older than David since Joab was David’s general and Amasa was Absalom’s general which would put them in roughly the same age group as David making his sisters older than David.

Now it becomes even more interesting since once again from Scripture we learn that Nahash was the king of the children of Ammon.

So … we are led to believe that David’s sisters Abigail and Zeruiah are daughters of Nahash the Ammonite king and David’s mother, prior to her involvement with Jesse was the wife or concubine of Nahash,the king of the Ammonites.

Therefore it would stand to reason that David’s brothers, all sons of Jesse had a different mother which would explain why David’s brothers mistreated him and why Jesse left him in the field when Samuel came to do the anointing.  It would also explain why David tells us in Psalm 51 that

Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me. I think we can conclude from this Scripture that David’s mother was not legally married to Jesse when David was conceived.  This is pure supposition on my part but if David was shapen in iniquity and was conceived in sin it would appear that Jesse and his mother were not legally married at the time of conception.   It is also quite probable that besides his sisters Abigail and Zeruiah that David also  has half Ammonite brothers since Scripture tells us that David has  become a stranger unto my brethren, and an alien unto my mother’s children.  Notice David only ascribes the sin to his mother and it’s only his mother’s children who consider him an alien. We also never anywhere in Scripture discover David’s mother’s name.  It’s rather conspicuous by its absence. 

We also know that Nahash was still alive after David became king since Scripture tells us that:   Now it came to pass after this, that Nahash the king of the children of Ammon died, and his son reigned in his stead.  And David said, I will shew kindness unto Hanun the son of Nahash, because his father shewed kindness to me.  And David sent messengers to comfort him concerning his father. So the servants of David came into the land of the children of Ammon to Hanun, to comfort him.

Obviously David has an affinity for Nahash however Scripture does not provide us with a reason for David’s affinity other than Nahash’s wife and/or concubine eventually becoming David’s mother.  It’s all very intriguing.  Scripture leaves a multitude of questions unanswered regarding David and his lineage, more specifically on his mother’s side.

Being a type and shadow of Our Lord Jesus Christ, David’s mother was not to be exalted in any manner thus she is left unnamed.  Doesn’t this infer that the mother of Jesus not be exalted as well?  Jesus’ lineage, on one hand, was well documented yet then He was described by FATHER in Hebrews chapter 5 as being of the everlasting order of Melchizedek who had no known earthly lineage and supersedes the order of Aaron.  With this in mind, Mystery Babylon has exalted Mary in an attempt to dilute the everlasting and create an idol for the people to exalt in place of Christ.  Only one Person went to the cross for you and me.  Think about it.

The psalmist wrote by THE SPIRIT in Psalm 89:

34 ​​My covenant I will not break,

​​Nor alter the word that has gone out of My lips.

Who can you trust and rely on more than Our Heavenly Father?  We trust HIS creation everyday as we expect the law of gravity to continue working on our behalf.  We expect our bodies to function as they are designed and when this doesn’t occur, we do whatever we can to correct the problem.  This trust and reliance in HIM is what we base our prayers on but we need to know HIS unalterable Word in order to properly set our expectations.  This is one reason why FATHER has me write so frequently.  HE ministers HIS relevant Word for us today and I simply respond by THE SPIRIT and communicate what HE shows me for I am simply an instrument submitted to HIS Wonderful Holy Spirit.  I give FATHER all the praise and credit for sharing HIS Love with you and me.

As our trust and expectations become fully mature IN HIM, our prayers become energized and we have the confidence of the outcome.  We look not at the external nor are we moved by evil reports.  Our faith is increased to the point of walking in great faith as expressed by our Elder Brother.  Isaiah wrote by THE SPIRIT in chapter 55:

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.

​12 ​​For you shall go out with joy,

​​And be led out with peace;

​​The mountains and the hills

​​Shall break forth into singing before you,

​​And all the trees of the field shall clap their hands.”

We should expect to prosper according to FATHER’S Word.  Does this mean HE will send us millions of dollars beyond what we can fathom?  No, HE will supply all our needs in accordance with HIS Word.  Yes, there will be some whose calling requires millions but HE has equipped them to properly steward over those millions.  Others of us will receive must less because our callings require much less but there will be a sufficiency to fulfill our calling in accordance with HIS Divine Intent.  Paul wrote by THE SPIRIT in Philippians chapter 4:

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.

As our trust IN HIM grows to full maturity, we no longer sweat the small stuff.  We become content no matter what the external situation surrounding us might suggest.  We have received and walk in the revelation that we too can do all things through Christ who strengthens us.  Our riches are given from Above and we do not rely on man for our wellbeing.  Our trust is fully IN HIM!

Isaiah wrote FATHER’S Word by THE SPIRIT in chapter 55:

1 “Ho! Everyone who thirsts, ​​Come to the waters; ​​And you who have no money, ​​Come, buy and eat.

​​Yes, come, buy wine and milk ​​Without money and without price.

2 ​​Why do you spend money for what is not bread, ​​And your wages for what does not satisfy?

​​Listen carefully to Me, and eat what is good, ​​And let your soul delight itself in abundance.

3 ​​Incline your ear, and come to Me. ​​Hear, and your soul shall live; ​​And I will make an everlasting covenant with you— ​​The sure mercies of David.”

Why should we live a life of turmoil and scarcity when FATHER wants to bless us with peace, abundance and good health?  When you pose the question in this manner, the answer is obvious yet men seek their own way for they do not trust FATHER’S Word.  Their ego convinces them that they can go it alone without any assistance from someone they can’t see with their natural eyes.  Their fear outweighs any semblance of faith in their lives.  Until they get desperate in some aspect of their life, they will go their own way toward death and destruction.  It may be a slow process in some cases but the day will come when they must face the consequences of their chosen path.

FATHER says “Listen carefully to Me” to each of us so that there is no question of what HE is saying for HE desires our soul to live and flourish.  What more could we ask?  Is there a better future for any of us to consider besides this invitation?

FATHER’S Love motivates HIM to make this offer because HE wants the best for each of HIS children, no different than those of us who have children of our own.  In order for us to understand the requirements for choosing HIS way, HE reveals the problem at hand:

8 ​​“For My thoughts are not your thoughts, ​​Nor are your ways My ways,” says the LORD.

9 ​​“For as the heavens are higher than the earth, ​​So are My ways higher than your ways, ​​And My thoughts than your thoughts.”

Our ways and thoughts are insufficient to bring forth the abundant life that FATHER is presenting in HIS invitation.  HIS invitation is one that requires a long-term commitment, not a single, temporary commitment which allows the person to return to their previous thoughts and ways.  Why would anybody return to a life of turmoil when they have the opportunity to live a life of peace and blessing?

Once we make the decision to accept HIS invitation, HE begins to redirect our thought life to HIS thoughts by instructing us to ​​incline your ear, and come to Me; ​​Hear, and your soul shall live.  For as a man thinks in his heart, so is he.  When we hear FATHER and receive HIS Word in our hearts, we ascend to HIS ways by fully accepting HIS thoughts as our own.  This is Love’s standing invitation to each of us.  It takes trust and patience for us to fully embrace HIS ways since mankind has spent years indoctrinating us to rely on our own ways and means.  Make no mistake, HIS ways will fare exceed our greatest expectation if we will heed HIS Word in every aspect of our life.  What an invitation!

The Beloved Disciple wrote by THE SPIRIT in John chapter 13:

31 So, when he had gone out, Jesus said, “Now the Son of Man is glorified, and God is glorified in Him.

32 If God is glorified in Him, God will also glorify Him in Himself, and glorify Him immediately.

33 Little children, I shall be with you a little while longer. You will seek Me; and as I said to the Jews, ‘Where I am going, you cannot come,’ so now I say to you.

34 A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another.

35 By this all will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another.”

Isn’t the final result of our maturing process meant to glorify Our Heavenly Father in all that we are and all that we do?  Jesus pointed out the one defining quality of being His disciple– Love.  If we do not walk in Love then can we claim to be one of His disciples?  Did Jesus focus on any other acts which people would look to if they were trying to describe a true disciple of Christ?  If our motivation is not born out of Love, then it does not glorify Our Heavenly Father.  Instead, it is based on some aspect of self interest.  I could write volumes in an attempt to convince the reader of the importance of this Truth but rather let The Holy Spirit minister this Truth to us today and let it be resolved in our hearts once and for all!  Selah.

Isaiah wrote by THE SPIRIT in chapter 11:

1 There shall come forth a Rod from the stem of Jesse, ​​And a Branch shall grow out of his roots.

2 ​​The Spirit of the LORD shall rest upon Him, ​​The Spirit of wisdom and understanding,

​​The Spirit of counsel and might, ​​The Spirit of knowledge and of the [reverential and obedient] fear of THE LORD.

​3 ​​His delight is in the fear of the LORD, ​​And He shall not judge by the sight of His eyes, ​​Nor decide by the hearing of His ears;

4 ​​But with righteousness He shall judge the poor, ​​And decide with equity for the meek of the earth; ​​He shall strike the earth with the rod of His mouth, ​​And with the breath of His lips He shall slay the wicked.

5 ​​Righteousness shall be the belt of His loins, ​​And faithfulness the belt of His waist.

Our true understanding of the reverential and obedient fear of THE LORD will come to full maturity as we progress and mature in the other qualities of walking in THE SPIRIT.  As we increase in true wisdom and understanding, we are able to walk in The Spirit of counsel and might.  How can we give counsel without adequate wisdom and understanding?  Sadly, most people today do not seek out GODLY wisdom and understanding in their daily decision-making.  The immature tend to think they already have sufficient worldly wisdom and understanding to proceed with life-changing decisions and then wonder why they are enslaved by their own decisions and actions.  They will generally ask for advice from someone who will simply be a second witness to their poor decision or plan.  They fail to seek advice from those who have produced good spiritual fruit in the area of inquiry.

THE SPIRIT wrote in Proverbs chapter 11:

​14 ​​Where there is no counsel, the people fall;

​​But in the multitude of counselors there is safety.

A key to this verse is finding the counselors who are mature and led by THE SPIRIT rather than those who have walked in a life of folly and have no good fruit to show for their past decisions.  As we mature in the Spirit of counsel, we will walk in greater strength and be “strong and confident” in THE LORD.  This will lead to greater knowledge in the ways of Our Heavenly Father and along with wisdom and understanding, true reverential and obedient fear of THE LORD will be fully realized in the deepest sense.

We must see and discern with faculties that are beyond the natural. We must see and understand by the Seven Spirits of GOD. Our minds must be renewed by the Spirit of Jesus, as we abide in Him and He in us. Only then can we judge righteously, and become that Testimony of Jesus in the earth that FATHER desires.  He shall not judge after the sight of His eyes. O how we need that Spirit of Wisdom and Understanding, the Spirit of Counsel and Might, the Spirit of Knowledge and of the Fear of the Lord, if we are going to judge righteous judgment as Jesus intended! And that is why He is now enthroned in the heavens — that the same Spirit that was in Him might be poured out upon His chosen ones, the remnant, that there might be a continuation of His anointed ministry here in the earth.

FATHER is patiently dealing with the toxic tares growing in the field while HIS Called-Out Ones are maturing.  Would it be reasonable to say that until we have fully experienced the fear of THE LORD, we are still in the maturing process?

Paul wrote by THE SPIRIT in Philippians chapter 1:

9 And this I pray, that your love may abound still more and more in knowledge and all discernment,

10 that you may approve the things that are excellent, that you may be sincere and without offense till the day of Christ,

11 being filled with the fruits of righteousness which are by Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God.

The word “abound” means to have abundance, to excel, to exceed, to overflow.  As our love for FATHER and HIS family increases, HE is pleased to increase our knowledge and perception of truth. Powerful gifts and ministries without the fruit of the Spirit, can be destructive in the lives of those who have them.  There is a pure knowledge that comes forth from abounding love. True knowledge and discernment will be birthed out from Love… Love in its many facets of faith, truth, righteousness, endurance, patience, kindness, mercy, longsuffering. As we love HIM, we will begin to love what He loves and hate what HE hates. Like our Master we will "love righteousness and hate iniquity".

THE SPIRIT wrote in Psalm 45:

7 ​​You love righteousness and hate wickedness;

​​Therefore God, Your God, has anointed You

​​With the oil of gladness more than Your companions.

It is far beyond the gifts, for a gift can easily be tarnished with the motivation of carnal thoughts and ways. His gifts to us are rays of Light that we need, till we come to the Source of the Light, which is Christ Himself. And therefore we are admonished: "Follow after Love, and desire spiritual gifts" (1 Cor. 14:1).

Throughout the New Testament, FATHER continuously points us to Love and its fruits.  Once Paul’s eyes were opened by Our Lord Jesus Christ, his focus became Love and his writings centered around this revelation.  In Mark 3:17, Jesus gave John and James the moniker “sons of thunder” yet later, John became the Beloved Disciple.  He finally embraced the revelation of Love and thus was given the precious revelation found in the last writing of the New Testament.

The key to the treasury of riches of our inheritance is tied closely to our revelation of Agape Love.  Let our Love become abounding in nature and the Source of Light will shine brighter in us and cause others to be drawn to the light.

In Matthew chapter 5:

1 And seeing the multitudes, He went up on a mountain, and when He was seated His disciples came to Him.

2 Then He opened His mouth and taught them, saying:

​3 ​​“Blessed are the poor in spirit, ​​For theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

4 ​​Blessed are those who mourn, ​​For they shall be comforted.

5 ​​Blessed are the meek, ​​For they shall inherit the earth.

6 ​​Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, ​​For they shall be filled.

7 ​​Blessed are the merciful, ​​For they shall obtain mercy.

8 ​​Blessed are the pure in heart, ​​For they shall see God.

9 ​​Blessed are the peacemakers, ​​For they shall be called sons of God.

10 ​​Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake, ​​For theirs is the kingdom of heaven.”

And in Matthew chapter 7:

7 “Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.

8 For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened.

9 Or what man is there among you who, if his son asks for bread, will give him a stone?

10 Or if he asks for a fish, will he give him a serpent?

11 If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask Him!”

FATHER is willing and eager to teach us by HIS Holy Spirit all Truth found in HIS Word.  Jesus was not reluctant to share the Gospel to those who sought Him out.  To knock means “a request to gain entrance”.  When Jesus opened His mouth, He was essentially welcoming those who had ears to hear to gain entrance into the Kingdom of GOD.  Those who are willing to be taught by Our Lord Jesus Christ will be given the opportunity to become His disciples and spread the Gospel to the uttermost parts of the earth.  Each of us must be willing to hear when The Holy Spirit opens the line of communication in order to lead us and guide us throughout each day.  We must not allow the “opened” mouths of carnal men to sway us into believing their doctrines and opinions which are contrary to FATHER’S Word.  In our society today, “fake news” is rampant and the truth is rarely expressed in a pure manner.

The world is a very complex place because mankind has caused it to be so.  No man or group of men can possibly sustain a society where all men and women are blessed and live in peace.  Only Our Heavenly Father has the capacity to restore peace on earth and goodwill toward all mankind.  This is why we must listen to and be led by THE SPIRIT.  There is no other solution to the problems we face today.  When FATHER opens HIS mouth to speak to us, let us receive HIS Words in spite of what man would have us believe.
