This is vital for those who wish to come into full maturity.

These Three Things
Monday, March 17th, 2025A Truth For Today
Sunday, March 16th, 2025You must let go of the past to embrace the future!
Resource Availability
Sunday, March 16th, 2025Jesus has made available to us unlimited resources to bring forth The Kingdom of GOD on earth!
If you saw what GOD made you to be, you would never want to be anyone else!
THE LORD GOD ALMIGHTY spoke in Jeremiah chapter 24:
6 My Eyes will compassionately watch over them (and us) for their good, to bring them back to this land, to build them up and not to tear them down, to plant them and not to uproot them.
7 I will give them (and you and me) a willing heart to know that I am YAHWEH. They will be My beloved people, and I will be their Loving God, for they will return to Me with every passion of their heart.
By reading this, you have shown to have passion in your heart for a closer relationship to FATHER. These writings are meant to express the Divine Intent of FATHER through The Holy Spirit.
There are no second-class citizens in the Kingdom of GOD. Everyone gets to be involved in the purposes of GOD in the earth.
Jesus was our Perfect Example because He took on all the attributes of flesh and blood and left His Heavenly position for our benefit.
As I shared yesterday, Jesus spoke in John chapter 16:
15 Everything that belongs to the Father belongs to Me—that’s why I say that the Divine Encourager will receive what is Mine and reveal it to you.
Jesus intends for you to become aware of unlimited resources reserved for you in Heaven to bring it forth on earth. Jesus lived here on earth with unlimited resources, you can see it in His Life. There is no lack.
Jesus gave us an example in Matthew chapter 17:
24 When they had come to Capernaum, those who received the temple tax came to Peter and said, “Does your Teacher not pay the temple tax?”
25 He said, “Yes, of course He does.” And when he had come into the house, Jesus anticipated him, saying, “What do you think, Simon? From whom do the kings of the earth take customs or taxes, from their sons or from strangers?”
26 Peter said to Him, “From strangers.” Jesus said to him, “Then the sons are free. 27 Nevertheless, lest we offend them, go to the sea, cast in a hook, and take the fish that comes up first. And when you have opened its mouth, you will find a coin in its mouth. It will be the exact amount you need to pay the temple tax for both of us; take that and give it to them for Me and you.”
Notice that Peter responds to the tax collector before he speaks to Jesus. Jesus had no issue in paying tax, neither should we. FATHER has sufficient resources for us to settle accounts with the world. This is the first example of Jesus referring to the action of saying “It is finished, or paid in full”.
This tax was required under the Old Testament Law for ransom money. THE LORD spoke to Moses in Exodus chapter 30:
13 This is what everyone among those who are numbered shall give: half a shekel according to the shekel of the sanctuary (a shekel is twenty gerahs). The half-shekel shall be an offering to the LORD.
This tax was for the atonement of the people that there would be no plague among them. Jesus not only fulfilled the type and shadow of The Law, but He paid the perfect ransom for us at the cross.
The Beloved Disciple wrote by The Holy Spirit in John chapter 19:
28 Jesus knew that His mission was accomplished, and to fulfill the Scripture, Jesus said: “I am thirsty.”
29 A jar of sour wine was sitting nearby, so they soaked a sponge with it and put it on the stalk of hyssop and raised it to His lips. [
30 When He had sipped the sour wine, He said, “It is finished (paid in full), My Bride!” Then He bowed His Head and surrendered His Spirit to God.
Jesus fully surrendered Himself on our behalf. Are we willing to fully surrender to Him?
Peter wrote by The Holy Spirit in 1st Peter chapter 1:
13 So prepare your minds for action and exercise self-control. Put all your hope in the gracious salvation that will come to you when Jesus Christ is revealed to the world.
14 So you must live as God’s obedient children. Don’t slip back into your old ways of living to satisfy your own desires. You didn’t know any better then.
15 But now you must be Holy in everything you do, just as God Who chose you is Holy.
16 For the Scriptures say, “You must be Holy because I am Holy.”
17 And remember that the Heavenly Father to Whom you pray has no favorites. He will judge or reward you according to what you do. So you must live in reverent fear of him during your time here as “temporary residents.”
18 For you know that God paid a ransom to save you from the empty life you inherited from your ancestors. And it was not paid with mere gold or silver, which lose their value.
19 It was the precious Blood of Christ, the sinless, spotless Lamb of God.
20 God chose Him as your ransom long before the world began, but now in these last days He has been revealed for your sake.
What is your life worth? FATHER’S unlimited resources are available to all who were purchased by the precious Blood of Christ. If HE is willing to pay with the most precious of all resources, HE will not hold back resources for us to further HIS Kingdom on earth. Be Holy as HE is Holy!
Our True Example
Saturday, March 15th, 2025Jesus walked on earth as a man in complete humanity, not as GOD!
Jesus was our Perfect Example because He took on all the attributes of flesh and blood and left His Heavenly position for our benefit.
The Beloved Disciple wrote by The Holy Spirit in John chapter 13:
1 Now before the Feast of the Passover, when Jesus knew that His hour had come that He should depart from this world to the Father, having Loved His own who were in the world, He loved them to the end.
2 And supper being ended, the devil having already put it into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon’s son, to betray Him,
3 Jesus, knowing that the Father had given all things into His hands, and that He had come from God and was going to God,
Jesus was well aware of His relationship with FATHER during His earthly ministry.
Luke recorded by The Holy Spirit in Luke chapter 22:
39 Jesus left the upper room with his disciples and, as was his Habit, went to the Mount of Olives, His place of secret prayer.
40 There He told the apostles, “Keep praying for strength to be spared from the severe test of your faith that is about to come.”
41 Then He withdrew from them a short distance to be alone. Kneeling down, he prayed,
42 “Father, if You are willing, take this cup of agony away from Me. But no matter what, Your Will must be Mine.”
43 Jesus called for an angel of glory to strengthen Him, and the angel appeared.
44 He prayed even more passionately, like one being sacrificed, until He was in such intense agony of Spirit that His sweat became drops of blood, dripping onto the ground.
45 When Jesus finished praying, He got up and went to His disciples and found them all asleep, for they were exhausted and overwhelmed with sorrow.
46 “Why are you sleeping?” he asked them. “You need to be alert and pray for the strength to endure the great temptation.”
Since Jesus came in human form, He had to pray just like you and me. If He was walking as GOD, he would not need to be strengthened by an angel. He was tempted by the devil just like us.
Our whole sense of identity and purpose is gained by our understanding that Jesus was totally subject to the same issues we deal with on a daily basis. This is why He is the Perfect Example to follow and allows us to mature in the same manner.
We should have no doubt about being able to fulfill His commands. His Example is meant to change the way we perceive Life, and we are to adjust our mindsets and expectations to walk as He walked, trusting in and relying on FATHER. We are to walk in His identity with a whole sense of purpose and destiny.
It is written by The Holy Spirit in Jeremiah chapter 24:
6 For I will set My eyes on them for good, and I will bring them back to this land; I will build them and not pull them down, and I will plant them and not pluck them up.
7 Then I will give them a heart to know Me, that I am the LORD; and they shall be My people, and I will be their God, for they shall return to Me with their whole heart.
FATHER has given you and me a heart to know HIM and be a Son of Daughter belonging to HIM. As we know HIM, we will realize, become aware, that HE has unlimited resources available to us in the same manner as Jesus Who accessed those resources. Jesus turned water into wine, multiplied loaves and fishes to meet the needs of the multitudes, healed the sick, raised the dead, acquired money for taxes…
We have access to those same resources as we accept Jesus as our realistic Example. Jesus never suffered lack in His walk. Jesus was connected to a world that has absolutely no lack but one of extreme abundance.
Return to the above passage:
Jesus, knowing that the Father had given all things into His Hands, and that He had come from God and was going to God,
Jesus knew that He had access to unlimited resources, all things. As a Son, He had access to FATHER’S Kingdom.
Jesus spoke in John chapter 16:
15 Everything that belongs to the Father belongs to Me—that’s why I say that the Divine Encourager will receive what is Mine and reveal it to you.
We are not meant to be onlookers but rather be partakers in bringing forth The Kingdom of GOD in like manner to that of Jesus. As we are led by The Holy Spirit, the unlimited resources will be fully revealed for our use.
Hebrews 4:15 NKJV
For we do not have a High Priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but was in all points tempted as we are, yet without sin.
Expect Opposition
Friday, March 14th, 2025All who live righteously will suffer persecution!
Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in 2nd Timothy chapter 3:
10 But you have carefully followed my doctrine, manner of life, purpose, faith, longsuffering, Love, perseverance,
11 persecutions, afflictions, which happened to me at Antioch, at Iconium, at Lystra-what persecutions I endured. And out of them all the Lord delivered me.
12 Yes, and all who desire to live Godly in Christ Jesus will suffer persecution.
13 But evil men and impostors will grow worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived.
Both righteousness and ungodliness will increase. The ungodly will persecute us because our light exposes their darkness, and we make them feel uncomfortable. They will attempt to deceive those who are susceptible to such false narratives. You and I must be unwilling to submit to such deceptions.
16 God has transmitted His very substance into every Scripture, for it is God-breathed. It will empower you by Its instruction and correction, giving you the strength to take the right direction and lead you deeper into the path of Godliness. 17 Then you will be God’s servant, fully mature and perfectly prepared to fulfill any assignment God gives you.
Our trust must be on both the written Word of GOD as well as the spoken Word of GOD. HIS power and authority are contained in every Word.
Jesus is perfect and He suffered persecution thus we should expect the same as we live righteously. There is conflict and opposition from those who are ungodly.
Paul provides us with a list:
1 But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come:
2 For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
3 unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, 4 traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God,
5 having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away!
6 For of this sort are those who creep into households and make captives of gullible women loaded down with sins, led away by various lusts,
7 always learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.
8 Now as Jannes and Jambres resisted Moses, so do these also resist the Truth: men of corrupt minds, disapproved concerning the faith;
9 but they will progress no further, for their folly will be manifest to all, as theirs also was.
We must heed the Words given to us by The Holy Spirit. Our focus must be on spiritual maturity so that we can handle the fiery darts of the devil. He will look for any weakness in us to exploit. We must focus daily on The Word so that we fulfill the prayer given to us by The Holy Spirit, written by Paul in Colossians chapter 1:
9 For this reason we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to ask that you may be filled with the knowledge of His Will in all Wisdom and Spiritual understanding;
10 that you may walk worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing Him, being fruitful in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God;
11 strengthened with all might, according to His Glorious power, for all patience and longsuffering with joy;
12 giving thanks to the Father Who has qualified us to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in the light.
13 He has delivered us from the power of darkness and conveyed us into the kingdom of the Son of His Love,
14 in Whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins.
Are you willing to sacrifice all for Him along with persecution?
Jesus spoke in Mark chapter 10:
29 “Listen to my Words,” Jesus said. “Anyone who leaves his home behind and chooses Me over children, parents, family, and possessions, all for the sake of the gospel,
30 it will come back to him a hundred times as much in this lifetime—homes, family, mothers, brothers, sisters, children, possessions—along with persecutions. And in the age to come, he will inherit Eternal life.
31 But many who are considered to be the most important now will be the least important then. And many who are viewed as the least important now will be considered the most important then.”
The will be opposition to your progress… count on it.
TI Versus AI
Thursday, March 13th, 2025Artificial Intelligence (AI) is man’s attempt to simulate and replace The Holy Spirit!
True Intelligence (TI) comes from Heaven above by way of The Holy Spirit.
Google defines AI as a set of technologies that enable computers to perform a variety of advanced functions, including the ability to see, understand and translate spoken and written language, analyze data, make recommendations, and more.
AI is the backbone of innovation in modern computing, unlocking value for individuals and businesses. For example, optical character recognition (OCR) uses AI to extract text and data from images and documents, turns unstructured content into business-ready structured data, and unlocks valuable insights.
AI is designed by software developers who use our information through our phones, PC’S and other forms of input under the guise of improving our lives based on their own bias and narratives. Ultimately, that information can and will likely be used for nefarious purposes. It totally eliminates privacy and can be used to enslave mankind.
How do we battle AI? We are to walk in TI, True Intelligence, being led by The Holy Spirit.
Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in 1st Corinthians chapter 2:
6 However, there is a Wisdom that we continually speak of when we are among the spiritually mature. It’s Wisdom that didn’t originate in this present age, nor did it come from the rulers of this age who are in the process of being dethroned.
7 Instead, we continually speak of this wonderful Wisdom that comes from God (TI), hidden before now in a mystery. It is HIS secret plan, destined before the ages, to bring us into glory.
8 None of the rulers of this present world order understood it, for if they had, they never would have crucified the Lord of shining glory.
9 This is why the Scriptures say: Things never discovered or heard of before, things beyond our ability to imagine—these are the many things God has in store for all His Lovers.
10 But God now unveils these profound realities to us by the Spirit. Yes, HE has revealed to us his inmost heart and deepest mysteries through the Holy Spirit, Who constantly explores all things.
11 After all, who can really see into a person’s heart and know his hidden impulses except for that person’s spirit? So it is with God. His thoughts and secrets are only fully understood by His Spirit, the Spirit of God. (not AI)
12 For we did not receive the spirit of this world system but the Spirit of God, so that we might come to understand and experience all that grace (enablement) has lavished upon us.
13 And we articulate these realities with the words imparted to us by the Spirit and not with the words taught by human wisdom. We join together Spirit-revealed Truths with Spirit-revealed Words.
14 Someone living on an entirely human level rejects the revelations of God’s Spirit, for they make no sense to him. He can’t understand the revelations of the Spirit because they are only discovered by the illumination of the Spirit.
AI can’t understand any revelation by The Holy Spirit, it seems illogical to AI so AI cannot properly evaluate all things.
15 Those who live in the Spirit are able to carefully evaluate all things, and they are subject to the scrutiny of no one but God.
16 For Who has ever intimately known the Mind of the Lord YAHWEH well enough to become His counselor? Christ has, and we possess Christ’s perceptions.
AI can only analyze the inferior world. However, we are to live in the superior world, The Kingdom of GOD! Don’t be sucked in to the premise that AI is to be your servant. The ultimate goal of those who are funding AI is to enslave the rest of us and live by their rule.
Pay close attention to the Messiah’s Triumph and Kingdom as it is written by The Holy Spirit in Psalm chapter 2:
1 How dare the nations plan a rebellion. Their foolish plots are futile!
Be assured that their plots will include AI
2 Look at how the power brokers of the world rise up to hold their summit as the rulers scheme and confer together against YAHWEH and his Anointed King, saying:
3 “Let’s come together and break away from the Creator. Once and for all let’s cast off these controlling chains of God and his Christ!”
Ultimately, they want to control using AI.
4 God-Enthroned merely laughs at them; the Sovereign One mocks their madness!
FATHER laughs at their attempts.
5 Then with the fierceness of his fiery anger, HE settles the issue and terrifies them to death with these Words:
6 “I myself have poured out my King on Zion, My Holy mountain.”
7 “I will reveal the Eternal purpose of God. For Ee has decreed over me, ‘You are my favored Son. And as your Father I have crowned you as my King Eternal. Today I became Your Father.
8 Ask Me to give you the nations and I will do it, and they shall become your legacy. Your domain will stretch to the ends of the earth.
The Kingdom of GOD on earth as It is in Heaven!
9 And You will shepherd them with unlimited authority, crushing their rebellion as an iron rod smashes jars of clay!’ ”
10 “Listen to Me, all you rebel kings and all you upstart judges of the earth. Learn your lesson while there’s still time.
11 Serve and worship the awe-inspiring God. Recognize His Greatness and bow before Him, trembling with reverence in His Presence.
TI will defeat AI in a grand fashion, count on it!
For those of you who want to know the evolution and risks associated with AI, watch the following. The speaker admits that he is terrified of what is coming. On the other hand, I am not concerned about the inferiority of AI.
Don’t Look Back
Tuesday, March 11th, 2025We must not look back to the past!
The battleground of the enemy is over our mind… our thought life.
Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Ephesians chapter 6:
12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.
13 Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
14 Stand therefore, having girded your waist with Truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness,
15 and having shod your feet with the preparation of the Gospel of peace;
16 above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one. [
7 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God;
FATHER uses your obedience to shame the powers of darkness. Victory comes through us by The Holy Spirit operating in our lives.
Jesus spoke to the Samaritan woman in John chapter 4:
13 Jesus answered, “If you drink from Jacob’s well, you’ll be thirsty again,
14 but if anyone drinks the Living Water I give them, they will never be thirsty again. For when you drink the Water I give you, It becomes a gushing Fountain of the Holy Spirit, flooding you with Endless Life!”
The Holy Spirit in us will bring forth endless Life to those who drink. The adversary cannot stop this flow.
23-24 From now on, worshiping the Father will not be a matter of the right place but with a right heart. For God is a Spirit, and He longs to have sincere worshipers Who adore Him in the realm of the Spirit and in Truth.”
We are to trust in the Word of GOD only which is absolute Truth. Anything else promotes a lie and we must not let such lies impede our progress toward maturity in Christ.
We must not allow the enemy to occupy our minds, our thought life. Do you think that the enemy tried to keep Paul focusing on his past when he was an enemy of Christ, persecuting Christian?
He wrote by The Holy Spirit in 2nd Corinthians chapter 10:
3 For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh.
4 For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds,
5 casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ,
6 and being ready to punish all disobedience when your obedience is fulfilled.
Be assured that Paul had to bring every thought into captivity himself.
Your purpose that you have yet to enter into, is occupied by a lie. The enemy will attempt to raise up a stronghold against your purpose to make you think it is impossible for you to fulfill that aspect of your purpose. Else, you would already be in it.
The adversary will attempt to use your past failures to convince you that you are not worthy to enter into your promise given by FATHER. The Promised Land is a picture of us coming into the fullness of GOD’S Intent and purpose for our lives.
Jesus expects us to do greater works than Him. We can’t do greater works until we have done the same works. Strongholds built on lies must be taken down. Jesus is drawing us into a possibility through promise.
Paul spoke to Timothy this vital Truth as he recorded by The Holy Spirit in 1st Timothy chapter 1:
18-19 So Timothy, my son, I am entrusting you with this responsibility, in keeping with the very first prophecies that were spoken over your life, and are now in the process of fulfillment in this great work of ministry, in keeping with the prophecies spoken over you. With this encouragement use your prophecies as weapons as you wage spiritual warfare by faith and with a clean conscience. For there are many who reject these virtues and are now destitute of the True faith,
We all have been given promises through the Word of GOD that are yet to be fulfilled. We wage spiritual warfare by faith for these promises to manifest in our lives. A clean conscience is vital. The enemy wants to dredge up your past so that you will perceive that you don’t have a clean conscience. That is a lie.
Another Kids In Need Update
Monday, March 10th, 2025I just received an email from one of the school counselors. I knew that this would bless those who are able to give into Servias:
I wanted to share a couple of stories that illustrate the impact we’ve been able to make in the lives of our students through your generous support of gift cards. One story that stands out is that of a sophomore student.
He and his family faced an unimaginable tragedy when they lost their home to a fire. This devastating event left them without shelter and in a state of uncertainty. As if this wasn’t enough, shortly after the fire, his mother passed away from cancer, leaving the family to cope with both loss and hardship within a span of just two to three months.
During this incredibly challenging time, we were able to provide him with gift cards that allowed his family to purchase essential items and needed supplies. Your generous contributions have given comfort and support to this family during their darkest hours, showing them that our school community truly cares for them.
These stories highlight the importance of your efforts to support students in crisis. The gift cards not only meet immediate needs but also serve as a reminder that our community stands together in times of hardship.
Thank you for your ongoing support in making a difference in the lives of our students.
Supernatural Increase
Monday, March 10th, 2025FATHER’S Kingdom is based on supernatural increase!
As Sons of GOD, you rule with the heart of a servant, and you serve with the heart of a king. A king has the country’s assets at his disposal and is meant to properly administer those assets on behalf of those in need.
GOD will not give you an oak tree but instead will give you the acorn to produce a forest of oak trees. Most of us have wanted to bypass the seedtime and simply expect the harvest to be given to us. The Kingdom of GOD is all about growth, not scarcity. Typically, our prayers are answered in seed form, not the final harvest. Often, we don’t see the oak tree inside the acorn.
Proper stewardship brings for exponential increase! Everything in the Kingdom is about increase and growth. The smallest touch on your life becomes a river.
Jesus spoke 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!”
A drink becomes a river, an example of supernatural increase. When we live a life of full surrender TO HIM, then what HE deposits in us places us in a position for multiplication. GOD is very interested in righteous increase among HIS Sons and Daughters.
Jesus spoke a parable in Luke chapter 19:
11 At this time Jesus was getting close to entering Jerusalem. The crowds that followed Him were convinced that God’s Kingdom would fully manifest when Jesus established it in Jerusalem.
12 So He told them this story to change their perspective: “Once a wealthy prince left his province to travel to a distant land, where he would be crowned king and then return.
The Prince of Peace became King of Kings!
13 Before he departed he summoned his ten servants together and charged them, ‘I am entrusting each of you with fifty thousand dollars (10 minas) to invest while I am away. Trade with it and put the money to work until I return.’
14 “Some of his countrymen despised the prince and sent a delegation after him to declare before the royals, ‘We refuse to let this man rule over us! He will not be our king!’
15 “Nevertheless, he was crowned king and returned to his land. Then he summoned his ten servants to see how much each one had earned and what their profits came to.
16 “The first one came forward and said, ‘Master, I took what you gave me and invested it, and it multiplied ten times.’
17 “ ‘Splendid! You have done well, my excellent servant. Because you have shown that I can trust you in this small matter, I now grant you authority to rule over ten cities.’
It is all about trust. As He can trust you, He will entrust you with more.
18 “The second came and said, ‘Master, what you left with me has multiplied five times.’
19 “His master said, ‘I also grant you authority in My Kingdom over five cities.’
20 “Another came before the king and said, ‘Master, here is the money you entrusted to me. I hid it for safekeeping.
21 You see, I live in fear of you, for everyone knows you are a strict master and impossible to please. You push us for a high return on all that you own, and you always want to gain from someone else’s efforts.’
This servant lived in worldly fear and really didn’t know Jesus Christ. This man listened to the world’s opinion rather than the Truth of who Jesus Christ is.
22 “The king said, ‘You wicked servant! I will judge you using your own words. If what you said about me is true, that I am a harsh man, pushing you for a high return and wanting gain from others’ efforts,
The servant’s own words brought forth his judgment.
23 why didn’t you at least put my money in the bank to earn some interest on it?’
Earning interest at least meets the minimum requirements set by The King.
24 “The king said to his other servants, ‘Take the money he has and give it to the faithful servant who multiplied my money ten times over.’
The King took his own resources back and appropriated those assets to the most prosperous of the ten servants.
25 “ ‘But master,’ the other servants objected, ‘why give it to him? He already has so much!’
26 “ ‘Yes,’ replied the king. ‘But to all who have been faithful, I will give even more to them. And for the ones who have nothing, even the little they seem to have I will take from them.
27 Now, bring all those rebellious enemies of mine who rejected me as their king—bring them here before me and execute them!’ ”
Those who reject Jesus Christ as King will be harshly but righteously judged. If you do nothing for The Kingdom, you will suffer loss. However, if you invest on behalf of The Kingdom, you should expect increase. You must have the proper mindset of surrender to THE LORD to show yourself trustworthy of the supernatural increase. A 10X increase can be expected for those who meet this expectation!
Jesus Teaches On Greatness In The Kingdom
Sunday, March 9th, 2025The Sons of GOD are not looking for recognition or promotion, they lead as a Son!
As Sons of GOD, you rule with the heart of a servant, and you serve with the heart of a king. You rule with the heart of a servant because you know that what you have access to is for the benefit of others.
Jesus responded to a request for position with Him, recorded in Mark chapter 10:
35 Then James and John, the sons of Zebedee, came to Him, saying, “Teacher, we want You to do for us whatever we ask.”
Can you imagine the audacity of James and John to make such a request to the King of kings?
36 And He said to them, “What do you want Me to do for you?”
Jesus was getting ready for a teaching moment to His disciples and us.
37 They said to Him, “Grant us that we may sit, one on Your Right Hand and the other on Your Left, in Your glory.”
38 But Jesus said to them, “You do not know what you ask. Are you able to drink the cup that I drink, and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with?”
39 They said to Him, “We are able.” So Jesus said to them, “You will indeed drink the cup that I drink, and with the baptism I am baptized with you will be baptized;
Even though Jesus told them that they did not know what they were asking, they continued their request in ignorance. Their request revealed their ambition to be in the place of highest honor. Their request exposed the ambition that was hiding in their hearts. They did not understand what was required in death and resurrection.
40 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.”
41 And when the ten heard it, they began to be greatly displeased with James and John.
The others were mad that they did not think of asking Jesus first.
42 But Jesus called them to Himself and said to them, “You know that those who are considered rulers over the Gentiles lord it over them, and their great ones exercise authority over them.
43 Yet it shall not be so among you; but whoever desires to become great among you shall be your servant.
44 And whoever of you desires to be first shall be slave of all.
In other Words, the path to promotion comes by having the heart of a bond-slave who serves everyone.
45 For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His Life a ransom for many.”
We must be willing to walk with a heart to serve others.
Jesus spoke in Luke chapter 22:
24 The disciples bickered over which one of them would be considered the greatest in the Kingdom.
25 Jesus interrupted their argument, saying, “The kings and men of authority in this world rule oppressively over their subjects, claiming that they do it for the good of the people. They are obsessed with how others see them.
Greatness in the world arises based on how men want to be perceived, an aspect of self-centeredness.
26 But this is not your calling. You will lead by a different model. The greatest one among you will live as one called to serve others without honor. The greatest honor and authority is reserved for the one who has a servant heart.
Jesus compared greatness in the world’s view to Heaven’s Truth of what greatness really is.
27 The leaders who are served are the most important in your eyes, but in the Kingdom, it is the servants who lead. Am I not here with you as One who serves? 28 “Because you have stood with Me through all My trials and ordeals,
29 I am promising you the Kingdom that the Father has promised Me.
30 We will celebrate in this Kingdom and you will feast with Me at My Table. And each of you will be given a throne, twelve thrones in all, and you will be made rulers on thrones to judge the tribes of Israel.”
Jesus is the King of all Glory, but He comes to minister to people and to serve people. As we empty ourselves of pride and an attitude of entitlement, we will mature as Sons and Daughters who serve The Kingdom. In response, FATHER will release greater resources for our use. We will have proven that we can be trusted with HIS power and authority here on earth.
James wrote by The Holy Spirit in his Epistle, James chapter 2:
14 My dear brothers and sisters, what good is it if someone claims to have faith but demonstrates no good works to prove it? How could this kind of faith save anyone?
15 For example, if a brother or sister in the faith is poorly clothed and hungry
16 and you leave them saying, “Good-bye. I hope you stay warm and have plenty to eat,” but you don’t provide them with a coat or even a cup of soup, what good is your faith?
17 So then faith that doesn’t involve action is phony.
At Servias, we direct contributions to those kids who are poorly clothed and hungry. This is just one way we can serve others.
