James wrote by THE SPIRIT in chapter 2:

14 What does it profit, my brethren, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can faith save him?

15 If a brother or sister is naked and destitute of daily food,

16 and one of you says to them, “Depart in peace, be warmed and filled,” but you do not give them the things which are needed for the body, what does it profit?

17 Thus also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead.

When we hear FATHER’S Word, we are expected to act on It.  This is true in every directive HE gives us without exception and there is an inherent simplicity in walking by faith.  As I have written in the past, Jesus provided for seven redemptive promises which correspond to FATHER’S seven characteristics.  Man has a tendency to muddy the water by attempting to complicate FATHER’S Word.  Faith is simple: FATHER speaks a specific Word and we walk, speak, and act accordingly.  There is no complexity in this Truth yet man wants to add to it and create a religion out of it.  We need not wrap complexity around a simple directive given to us by FATHER.  Just walk according to HIS Word!

The Beloved Disciple wrote by THE SPIRIT in 1 John chapter 3:

18  Little children (believers, dear ones), let us not love [merely in theory] with word or with tongue [giving lip service to compassion], but in action and in truth [in practice and in sincerity, because practical acts of love are more than words].

19  By this we will know [without any doubt] that we are of the truth, and will assure our heart and quiet our conscience before Him.   AMPL

How straightforward are the above directives?  If you truly have the revelation of Agape Love, act on it.  If you truly have the revelation of faith, act on it.  Do we need to do an exhaustive word study on Love and faith before we act?  Do we need to seek out fifty scriptures in the Old Testament to confirm these two passages are true?  Did Abraham require FATHER to write a book on faith before he could believe HIM to do the impossible?  As we act according to HIS Word, our Love and faith will grow and become strong.  Our praises are verbal acknowledgements of WHO is preeminent in our walk and acts.  Now is the time to act in the simplicity of HIS Word toward us and there is no need to wrap complexity around It.

Paul wrote by THE SPIRIT in Ephesians chapter 2:

10 For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.

FATHER prearranged and made ready for us the opportunity to produce good works in our lives.  HE has resources available to us even though many see scarcity all around.  HE expects us to live a life of Agape Love and walk in faith, trusting HIM to come forth with the resources to accomplish our individual callings which HE foreordained before you and I were formed in the womb.  HE is not moved by our temporary circumstances and expects us to live by faith in HIM.

FATHER is not moved by our past thoughts and failures but has provided for our change by giving us HIS Word.  Paul wrote in chapter 5:

25 Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself for her,

26 that He might sanctify and cleanse her with the washing of water by the word,

27 that He might present her to Himself a glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing, but that she should be holy and without blemish.

Jesus gave Himself for you and me that we would be sanctified and cleansed by FATHER’S Word.  Nobody starts out pure but the Word will cleanse us and purify us to the point where we will by holy and without blemish.  We must not look at the past but look forward as we allow the Word to do its cleansing in us.  We should expect to become pure and acceptable as His Bride.  We must let go of the past and not allow those who hurt us and took advantage of us to take up any more time in our thought life.  The thoughts of the past only serve to direct our focus away from the here and now.  We must trust that FATHER will execute any judgment applicable to their actions and not allow ourselves to dwell on those people any longer.

Shouldn’t we ask ourselves each day, “What opportunity for good works is before me today?”  This shouldn’t be seen as a burden but rather as an opportunity to put Love in action.  What can I do to express FATHER’S Love to someone today?  As we move away from self-interest and toward “others-interest”, we become more like OUR FATHER and HIS first Begotten Son.  Just consider when all of the true church of Jesus Christ comes into the fullness of Love, how the world will change!

We must be careful when seeking out prophetic words for some will be from false prophets who come across as true prophets.  Jesus gave us a specific warning in Matthew chapter 7:

15 “Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves.

16 You will know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes from thornbushes or figs from thistles?

17 Even so, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit.

18 A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit.

19 Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.

20 Therefore by their fruits you will know them.”

Man has a tendency to seek out the future and focus on future events in hope of changing his current situation.  I say- focus on today and produce good works and those good works will be what impacts your future.  Constantly focusing on the prophetic will only serve to cause us to miss opportunities to serve mankind which are before our very eyes.  Shouldn’t we let FATHER WHO knows the future, give us our daily instructions which will surely conform to the future HE has for us as individuals.  After all, FATHER prepared us beforehand that we should walk in good works.  Let us keep our priorities in line with our callings and let FATHER guide us in the future no matter what man is predicting.  We don’t need to worry about the future when we know FATHER is in full control.  Let us focus on good works meant for today.

When we are born, we are totally self-centered and our parents make sure we have the necessities to cause us to grow.  No one likes a crying baby.  As we grow older, that self-centeredness remains until we experience unconditional, Agape Love.  Once this happens, we begin to change the center of our existence and no longer view life with the same perspective and priorities.  Many parents get a taste of Agape Love when their baby arrives and grandparents get that same experience when their grandchildren come forth.  The greatest experience for us is when Jesus Christ comes into our lives and we are born again.  Our whole focus in life begins to shift away from being self-centered to Christ-centered.  This is easy for some and difficult for others for we all start the maturing process as though we are babes requiring much nurturing.

Paul wrote in 1 Corinthians chapter 1:

10 Now I plead with you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment.

11 For it has been declared to me concerning you, my brethren, by those of Chloe’s household, that there are contentions among you.

12 Now I say this, that each of you says, “I am of Paul,” or “I am of Apollos,” or “I am of Cephas,” or “I am of Christ.”

13 Is Christ divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Or were you baptized in the name of Paul?

14 I thank God that I baptized none of you except Crispus and Gaius,

15 lest anyone should say that I had baptized in my own name.

16 Yes, I also baptized the household of Stephanas. Besides, I do not know whether I baptized any other.

17 For Christ did not send me to baptize, but to preach the gospel, not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of no effect.

One issue that arises as we go through the re-centering process, is that of exalting men who are more knowledgeable of Bible Truths and facts.  Isn’t this what happened in Paul’s corrective writing above?  Whether intentional or not, the de facto elders of a group of like-minded believers have shifted the center of focus away from Christ onto themselves.  Did that elder shed his blood for you?  Could that elder’s blood and body bring forth salvation and healing?  Less mature people exalt those of greater knowledge when the recipient fails to keep the emphasis on Jesus Christ, Our Lord and Savior.  Those teachers and/or “prophets” often have a subtle agenda which revolves around money.  They often compel you to support their ministry either by directly requesting it or by causing you to feel guilty if you don’t.  In the meantime, the center of your attention slowly moves away from Christ to a totally inadequate substitute.

Paul was stern in his words concerning this situation.  Those who have exalted men are making the cross of Christ of none effect in their lives.  Attending someone’s meetings will not draw you closer to Christ.  The anointing and FATHER’S directives are found in one-on-one time with HIM.  Our focus and purpose is to point you toward a deeper relationship with FATHER through Our Lord Jesus Christ and be led by The Holy Spirit, not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of no effect.

As we become Christ-centered, we become mature Sons and Daughters.  It will not occur if we attend some meeting on some special day, thinking that the anointing of Heaven will somehow fall on us and change us into fully mature believers.  I encourage fellowship when it Is truly Christ-centered rather than standing in line to hear someone give his educated (and often perceived superior, witty, funny, etc.) view of life.  I would rather fellowship with a person who hears directly from FATHER and has a single relevant Word for the day then to hear hours of teaching discussing topics which contain no anointing from Heaven.  No matter what state of maturity that person is, I want to hear what FATHER is telling or showing them.  They may have the one Word spoken to them by FATHER I need to hear that day!

We must not exalt one person over another in our daily lives.  Jesus Christ is the One Whom we are to exalt and as we become Christ-centered in our walk, we will see people in a much different light.  We will no longer “mis-judge” people but see them as FATHER sees them.

To the saints who read this site and are faithful in Christ Jesus: ​Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.  Paul wrote by THE SPIRIT in Ephesians chapter 1:

3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ,

4 just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before Him in  (agape) love,

5 having predestined us to adoption as sons by Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will,

6 to the praise of the glory of His grace, by which He made us accepted in the Beloved.

It is of paramount importance for us to accept and understand the impact of what FATHER has revealed in the above verse.  HE chose each of us IN HIM before the foundation of the world.  You and I were personally selected by HIM to be here now at this point in history and we were ordained to be holy and without blame before HIM in Love.  HE intended for us to walk in Agape Love above all else as we fulfill our purpose at this point in time.  Our purpose is greater than the orbit of the planets and is more important than time itself.  We must not restrict our views to the narrow perspective associated with the “temporary” aspects of this world.  We have Kingdom business to attend to as we proceed forward on a daily basis.

7 In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace

8 which He made to abound toward us in all wisdom and prudence,

9 having made known to us the mystery of His will, according to His good pleasure which He purposed in Himself,

We have mysteries being revealed to us which are relevant for this time in history.  Think not it strange for previous generations to walk without the revelations being openly expressed to us at this time.  The corporate Body of Christ is being prepared for Its purpose at this point in history.

10 that in the dispensation of the fullness of the times He might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven and which are on earth—in Him.

11 In Him also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestined according to the purpose of Him who works all things according to the counsel of His will,

12 that we who first trusted in Christ should be to the praise of His glory.

Those of us who truly trust in Christ and have accepted our place IN HIM will fulfill our purpose as intended by FATHER before we were formed in the womb.  We trust The Holy Spirit to lead us into all Truth.  There are those who are given certain facets of HIS Plan who by Agape Love, provide missing pieces to the puzzle for they have been ordained to do so.  However, they are not to be exalted for their contribution, only Our King should be exalted above all others for He has taken His place at the right hand of FATHER.  The world would try to desensitize us from this reality.  They would try to reason away the importance of Jesus Christ as the One and only Savior of us all.

FATHER’S plan will not fail thus we should be at rest and no longer be moved by the circumstances around us.  FATHER has given us the needed revelation to walk by faith in Love if we will only embrace it.  We need not walk in blindness any more but should press onward and upward toward the fullness of maturity.  FATHER purposed to bring us to the maturity to walk in HIS power and authority as personal representatives expressing HIS Will on earth.  We have been ordained for this time so let not the world misdirect our priorities.

All who read this site frequently have a desire to see the Kingdom of Our Heavenly Father expand throughout the earth.  How will it expand if you and I don’t ascend to full maturity?  Do we think that FATHER will somehow suddenly send each of us a special anointing on a specific date beyond what is already accounted for in HIS Word?  The disciples spent 3 1/2 years with Our Lord Jesus Christ in preparation of their ministry and we see their weaknesses arising from their immaturity throughout the Gospels.  Yet their weaknesses did not deter Jesus from preparing them to spread the Gospel.  Instead, we are encouraged by the fact that Jesus selected average men, some who were fishermen, to be prepared to expand the Kingdom of GOD after His departure.  Peter is a great example.

In Acts chapter 5, it is written by THE SPIRIT:

12 And through the hands of the apostles many signs and wonders were done among the people. And they were all with one accord in Solomon’s Porch.

13 Yet none of the rest dared join them, but the people esteemed them highly.

14 And believers were increasingly added to the Lord, multitudes of both men and women,

15 so that they brought the sick out into the streets and laid them on beds and couches, that at least the shadow of Peter passing by might fall on some of them.

16 Also a multitude gathered from the surrounding cities to Jerusalem, bringing sick people and those who were tormented by unclean spirits, and they were all healed.

The above event could have easily been described in the Gospels where Jesus’ shadow would have had the same result yet it was the shadow of Peter in this instance.  This former fisherman was now walking in a great anointing and producing the same results as the ministry of Jesus.  Even his shadow was considered enough for people to receive their healing.  There were those who were unable to be in such close proximity yet they were healed as well.  Shouldn’t we come to expect similar results as well?  I believe so, and as we move toward full maturity, our expectations of similar events will no longer be a distant or nonexistent thought.  It is not by our might but by HIS SPIRIT that we will be used to minister in the same manner.

People hunger for the supernatural as confirmed by all the movies being released these days.  The movies can simulate the supernatural but FATHER is the Source of true power and authority superseding man’s current condition.  HE has given us the roadmap to maturity and the choice to follow The Way or choose other paths which lead to destruction.  FATHER has given us examples such as the one above to encourage us as we pursue a deeper relationship with HIM.  HE has a solid plan to spread the Gospel to the uttermost parts of the earth and HE has determined to raise a remnant who will die to the flesh and be led by THE SPIRIT to accomplish HIS plan.

I encourage you to let the past failures go as well as any misperception about your ability to ascend to full maturity in your calling.  Each of us has a specific function to fulfill in the Body of Christ and FATHER has accounted for the resources required to achieve our individual callings.  The only thing lacking at the individual level is a delay in the maturing process.  We must not allow worldly matters to impede our progress and this is one reason I believe FATHER has me write to you daily.  We have all fallen short of HIS Glory in the past, but the past is no more.  Nobody knows this Truth better than Paul when he expressed his past failures.  Let each of us press in for the time is now to prepare for what lies ahead.  Otherwise, we will only be observers of HIS Power and Authority.  I say press in!

An article from Kemper:

For anything to exist it must have been created by the Word of God.  The created man, in his rebellion, invented the lie that he could sustain himself outside of God’s Word. This principle is contrary to God’s Word and is condemned unto the destruction of its nonexistence. Man must provide the energy needed to maintain his own agenda which is unsustainable. Rather than entering God’s rest through obedience of faith, man is consumed by wrestling thorns and thistles of his own planting. Yet in the end, every plant which our heavenly Father hath not planted, shall be rooted up (Mathew 15:13).

The lie that man has endeavored to substantiate is only able to linger in the absence of truth. Once the truth is revealed and that standard is present, the deception can no longer be maintained and the lies are destroyed. Yet God in His mercy has sustained man in spite of his rebellion by hiding the truth in a mystery unseen by the carnal man. Thus diverting his judgment to the end of the age when the Standard of Truth is revealed in the earth. At such a point, believing becomes a response to seeing.

This hidden truth is sought out by those desiring to return to God. Even the mystery which hath been hid from ages and from generations, but now is made manifest to his saints. To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory (Colossians 1:26-27). For God has called the saints by His grace and they are responding as they ask, seek and knock to know the truth. Proverbs 25:2 states, It is the glory of God to conceal a thing but the honor of kings is to search out a matter.

Those who have answered the call of grace have consented to the truth and its purifying attributes. Upon such purification is God seen (Matthew 5:8).  1 John 3:2-3 declares when we see him we shall be like him and those who have this hope purifies themselves as they come to the light of the truth. Yet those who are evil resist the light lest their deeds be reproved (John 3:20). When man refuses to purify himself by coming to the light, the light will come to him. The “day of the Lord” is his visitation with the Truth, wherein he will experience the purification of sudden destruction. By mercy and truth iniquity is purged: and the fear of the LORD men depart from evil (Proverbs 16:6).

Those who look forward to His appearing purify themselves in preparation for His visitation. This willful pursuit of purification hastens His return. Wherefore he saith, Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light. See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise, Redeeming the time, because the days are evil. Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is. And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit (Ephesians 5:14-18). These pursuers are the saints who Looking for and hasting unto  the coming of the day of God (2Peter 3:12), become the firstfruits who are changed into His likeness, by whom Christ’s image is manifested unto the world as the standard by which all is to be judged. Without the presence of such a standard for all to see judgment cannot take place.

Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen (Revelations 1:7). John states that every eye shall see Him and when we see Him we will be like Him. For us to be like Him, that which does not conform after the image of Christ is destroyed. This is the death of the old man. For no man shall see His face and live (Exodus 33:20). Wherefore, as the standard appears, men cry out to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb (Revelation 6:16).

Those who pursue the call of grace are a cooperate body of God’s elect, who becoming a standard, will introduce the Truth to the rest of the world, causing the destruction of all that hasn’t been established by His Word. For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape (1 Thessalonians 5:3). This coming tribulation is the ungodly being reduced to nothing. The saints pursue and apprehend this quality willfully, which once it is apprehended is transferred upon the ungodly as the prophet Isaiah records in 51:22-23,
Thus saith thy Lord the LORD, and thy God that pleadeth the cause of his people, Behold, I have taken out of thine hand the cup of trembling, even the dregs of the cup of my fury; thou shalt no more drink it again: But I will put it into the hand of them that afflict thee; which have said to thy soul, Bow down, that we may go over: and thou hast laid thy body as the ground, and as the street, to them that went over.

This “tribulation transfer” comes upon the completion of our sanctification as Paul shares in 2 Corinthians 10:6; And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled. Those who pursue the truth discard their self preserving agenda in favor of abiding in the way of truth as it is revealed by the Holy Spirit. The destruction of those resistant to the truth is an unavoidable violent yet freeing end as this standard appears. For, Ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free (John 8:32). It should be understood that all become undone, but each have their own threshold at which they succumb. Its recorded in 1Corinthians 15:22-23, For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive. But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits (the Standard); afterward they that are Christ’s at his coming.

Mankind has an innermost desire for miracles.  You only have to look at Hollywood’s action-oriented movies to see what draws people to the theatre.  Super heroes imitate the miraculous in scene after scene.  Movie after movie depicts the hero winning against all odds and defying death at the hands of the villain.  Man is intrigued by any event which defies his knowledge and understanding… miracles fall into this category.  Peter spoke by THE SPIRIT in Acts chapter 2:

22 “Men of Israel, hear these words: Jesus of Nazareth, a Man attested by God to you by miracles, wonders, and signs which God did through Him in your midst, as you yourselves also know—

23 Him, being delivered by the determined purpose and foreknowledge of God, you have taken by lawless hands, have crucified, and put to death;

24 whom God raised up, having loosed the pains of death, because it was not possible that He should be held by it.”

Throughout the Gospels, Jesus performed many miracles which were meant to confirm FATHER’S Word which He spoke to those who would have ears to hear.  Lack of faith and unbelief were the deterrents to the effectiveness of miracles.  The crowds were drawn to His message because of The Word being confirmed by signs and wonders, or miracles.  Without the confirming miracles, FATHER’S Word would have been viewed as another philosophy.  The word “attested” means to bear witness to; certify; declare to be correct, true, or genuine; declare the truth of, thus FATHER confirmed HIS Word spoken through HIS Son for all the world to be put on notice.

Jesus spoke in Mark chapter 16:

15 And He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature. 16 He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned.

17 And these signs will follow those who believe: In My name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues;

18 they will take up serpents; and if they drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.”

19 So then, after the Lord had spoken to them, He was received up into heaven, and sat down at the right hand of God.

20 And they went out and preached everywhere, the Lord working with them and confirming the word through the accompanying signs. Amen.

As maturing Sons and Daughters of Our Heavenly Father, we should come to expect the same results as we preach The Word to the world.  Since Jesus is the same yesterday, today, and forever, we should not lower our expectations but we should expect FATHER to attest HIS Word spoken through us in the same manner as Our Elder Brother.  Isn’t this going to increase the Kingdom in a dramatic manner thus causing it to spread throughout the earth?  Won’t people flock to meetings when they hear about the miraculous occurring in their locale?  When the Azusa Street revival occurred in the early 20th century, people from all over the world traveled to Los Angeles to receive the baptism of The Holy Spirit.  From there it spread to various countries.  Though the movement started in Topeka, Kansas, it gained notoriety once the miraculous was to be found in L.A.  People desired the miraculous to operate in their lives then and it is no different now.

FATHER is willing to confirm HIS Word with accompanying signs so let us raise our expectations to HIS level as we go forth and speak HIS Word to those in need.  Jesus expected FATHER to confirm HIS Word and so should we.

Our Beloved Brother Paul wrote by THE SPIRIT in Philippians chapter 3:

12  Not that I have already obtained it [this goal of being Christlike] or have already been made perfect, but I actively press on so that I may take hold of that [perfection] for which Christ Jesus took hold of me and made me His own.

13  Brothers and sisters, I do not consider that I have made it my own yet; but one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and reaching forward to what lies ahead,

14  I press on toward the goal to win the [heavenly] prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.

15  All of us who are mature [pursuing spiritual perfection] should have this attitude. And if in any respect you have a different attitude, that too God will make clear to you.

16  Only let us stay true to what we have already attained.  AMPL

This passage is critical for us to embrace as Paul did in his life.  WE MUST LET OUR PAST GO!  It is no longer relevant to those who have been redeemed by the Blood of The Lamb.  Many of us have had to forgive those in the past who have negatively impacted our lives.  Those deep-seated hurts have been like heavy weights keeping us from ascending higher.  As we forgive because of our revelation of unconditional Love, those weights are cut away and we are no longer held down by our past.

Some have been hurt by parents’ words and actions.  Those events are often walled up in our hearts so that the pain is encapsulated in order to protect our consciousness.  We must bust down those walls and remove those events by means of expressing our forgiveness.  When can speak forgiveness to those even though they may have physically passed away.  As we vocally express our forgiveness, we release the past and the associated pain.  It matters not if the other person changes even though it is our hope that they do.  When we forgive, it changes us!

As we remove those weights, we can focus on the “now” and reach forward to what lies ahead, our upward call of our purpose.  Paul notes that as who have matured will have this attitude in our pursuit of spiritual perfection.  Those who have yet embraced this revelation will receive it as FATHER makes it clear.  Let us not keep revisiting the past for it only serves to draw our focus away from the present.  Paul also wrote in 2 Corinthians chapter 5:

17  Therefore if anyone is in Christ [that is, grafted in, joined to Him by faith in Him as Savior], he is a new creature [reborn and renewed by the Holy Spirit]; the old things [the previous moral and spiritual condition] have passed away. Behold, new things have come [because spiritual awakening brings a new life].

We too have done harm in the past but we are no longer that old “man” for we have been reborn and renewed by the Holy Spirit.  Let us ask to be forgiven as is applicable and move on.  Some will accept our apologies and some will not.  If those we have wronged don’t accept our apology, it is now their problem, not ours.  Jesus clearly stated in Matthew chapter 6:

14 “For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.

15 But if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.”

Forgiveness is the cornerstone of moving forward in life.  It allows people to forget the past and move on toward maturity.  Let’s deal with the past once and for all so that we can fulfill our purpose!

By THE SPIRIT, it is written in Hebrews chapter 11:

27 By faith he (Moses) forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king; for he endured as seeing Him who is invisible.

28 By faith he kept the Passover and the sprinkling of blood, lest he who destroyed the firstborn should touch them.

29 By faith they passed through the Red Sea as by dry land, whereas the Egyptians, attempting to do so, were drowned.

Moses was used mightily by FATHER to deliver the children of Israel out of Egypt because he acted on faith in GOD.  He heard The Word and acted upon It and when the angel saw the faith of the Israelites during the first Passover, the angel honored their faith and did not destroy their firstborn.

In Luke chapter 24, Jesus spoke:

46 Then He (Jesus) said to them, “Thus it is written, and thus it was necessary for the Christ to suffer and to rise from the dead the third day,

47 and that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in His name to all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.

48 And you are witnesses of these things.

49 Behold, I send the Promise of My Father upon you; but tarry in the city of Jerusalem until you are endued with power from on high.”

By faith, the disciples did as Jesus instructed and were rewarded in doing so.  They saw Jesus’ faith when He submitted to the cross for the benefit of mankind.  They saw an empty tomb which reaffirmed their faith in the Words of Jesus and then He appeared to them and spoke to them in the above passage.  Then they acted on their faith and proceeded to Jerusalem and because of their faith, they continually praised and blessed GOD:

50 And He led them out as far as Bethany, and He lifted up His hands and blessed them.

51 Now it came to pass, while He blessed them, that He was parted from them and carried up into heaven.

52 And they worshiped Him, and returned to Jerusalem with great joy,

53 and were continually in the temple praising and blessing God. Amen.

Their praise occurred before the manifestation of the Day of Pentecost.  The disciples’ faith saw the coming of the Comforter in THE SPIRIT before the manifestation.  Shouldn’t we praise and bless Our Heavenly Father for the fulfillment of the feast of Tabernacles prior to its manifestation?  Are we able to see by faith its full impartation?  Does FATHER see your and my faith, expecting to be endued with power from On High?  Let us set our expectation of being fully matured Sons and Daughters as we continue to praise and bless Our Heavenly Father for bringing forth the fullness of anointing into manifestation.  The past is the past so let it stay there and do not live in it any longer.  Now is the time for our faith to express the expectation of full maturity coming forth and rising up within us.  We are enduring the current circumstance as we are seeing HIM Who is invisible bring forth the fullness to those of us willing to see by faith.
