With Boldness

Thursday, December 5th, 2024

As the ekklesia, we are to pray for good government so that our prayers will not be hindered!

What promotes the mandates given to us by Jesus Himself? Good government! In the past four years, the ekklesia has been attacked with COVID mandates to abstain from congregating. In addition, our free speech was attacked and those who spoke out were at risk of arrest. Abortion advocates demeaned the ekklesia without hesitation. LGBTQ was promoted and endorsed by the administration, entertainment industry, and mainstream news networks. The U.S. warmongers want to continue the endless wars before the next president enters office.

I was concerned that there was judgment coming if things didn’t change. Thankfully, FATHER’S great grace and mercy prevailed. However, the spiritual war is not over.

How much longer do we have to walk out Jesus’ mandate? By all indications, the time is short so we must not delay in sharing Christ with others.

Jesus spoke in Mark chapter 16:

15 And Jesus said to them (and us), “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.”

Do not discount any of the above commands and do not be hesitant to step out in faith.

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in 1^st Timothy chapter 2:

1 Therefore I exhort first of all that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks be made for all men,

2 for kings and all who are in authority, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all Godliness and reverence (good government).

3 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God Our Savior,

4 Who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the Truth.

5 For there is one God and one Mediator between God and men, the Man Christ Jesus,

6 He gave Himself as ransom-payment for everyone. Now is the proper time for God to give the world this witness.

Now is the time to testify of Our Lord Jesus Christ with boldness. If The Holy Spirit directs you to testify to a particular person, do not be reluctant.

The Beloved Disciple wrote by The Holy Spirit in 1^st John chapter 5:

14 Since we have this complete confidence, we can also have great boldness before Him, for if we ask anything agreeable to His Will, He will hear us.

15 And if we know that He hears us in whatever we ask, we also know that we have obtained the requests we ask of Him.

Our Heavenly Father wants us to fully represent HIM on the earth. There is no reluctance on HIS part. HE has provided everything we need to fulfill the Great Commission given to us by HIS Son.

It is written by The Holy Spirit in 2^nd Chronicles chapter 7:

14 If My people who are called by My Name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My Face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from Heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land.

15 Now My Eyes will be open and My Ears attentive to prayer made in this place.

We are called to be humble, seek HIS Face, and walk in Holiness. HE will respond and heal our land. When HE says “I will”, HE means it!

Pray For Good Government

Wednesday, December 4th, 2024

As the ekklesia, we are to pray for good government!

It is written by The Holy Spirit in Isaiah chapter 1:

1 Here is the vision that Isaiah, the son of Amoz, received by Divine revelation concerning what was going to happen to Judah and Jerusalem during the times of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah.

2 Listen, O heavens! Hear, O earth! For the Lord YAHWEH has spoken: “I tenderly nurtured children and made them great, but they have rebelled against me!

3 Even a dumb ox instinctively knows its owner and the stubborn mule knows the hand that feeds it, but Israel does not know me nor do my people understand.”

4 Oh, how this nation keeps sinning! See them dragging the heavy burden of their guilt! They are corrupt children, descendants of evildoers. They have turned their backs on the Lord God and despised the Holy One of Israel! They have cut themselves off from the help of God!

5 Why would you seek to be injured further? Why would you stubbornly continue in your rebellion? Your whole head is sick, and your heart and your will are weak and faint.

6 You are corrupt from the bottom of your feet to the top of your head. There is no integrity—nothing but bruises, putrefying sores, and raw open wounds! They have not been drained or bandaged or soothed with oil.

7 Your country is devastated and your cities burned to the ground; foreigners plunder your crops before your eyes—with nothing but devastation and destruction in their wake!

8 And the daughter of Zion is left as helpless as a deserted shack in a vineyard or a flimsy shelter in a field of cucumbers—in every way like a city besieged!

9 If the Lord of Angel Armies had not left us survivors (a remnant), our fate would have been the same as Sodom and Gomorrah!

The above passage applies to America as well as many other countries. Do you recall when the lawless were burning down cities in various states? A statue of George Floyd, a known drug user and felon, was erected. Sixty million children have been aborted. Over the last four years, illegal aliens have been welcomed across the borders in a lawless fashion only to drain the productive capacity of the country. Sexual debauchery has spread like wildfire.

What is sexual debauchery? It is extreme indulgence in bodily pleasures and especially sexual pleasures: behavior involving sex, drugs, alcohol, etc. that is often considered immoral.

Oxford anthropologist J.D. Unwin studied 86 societies and civilizations to see why some collapse and others don’t. What did he find? That sexual debauchery leads to the collapse of a civilization within 3 generations. Further, he found that those societies where the woman remained a virgin until married, flourished.

If people were expected to remain virgins until marriage, the culture was more likely to have all of the markers of human flourishing. They were more likely to be an “advanced” civilization.

What was the best combination, resulting in a culture that exceeds other cultures?
Prenuptial chastity combined with absolute monogamy. Absolute monogamy means one spouse for life.

Yes, they effectively followed Biblical principles and flourished. Those that didn’t died off. Think about it. People become slaves to their own wants and needs, their appetites.

The church has been too busy being religious rather than correcting the societal problems through intercessory prayer.

Sexual freedom unleashes all sorts of demons on a society. Couple it with modern medicine, which basically baptizes sexual debauchery with antibiotics and abortion, and you have an acceleration of collapse. Slaves are too busy having orgies to be truly productive.

The solution is spiritual and intercessory prayers of the righteous will turn back the current path of society.

Once again, as Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in 1^st Timothy chapter 2:

1 Most of all, I’m writing to encourage you to pray with gratitude to God. Pray for all men with all forms of prayers and requests as you intercede with intense passion.

2 And pray for every political leader and representative, so that we would be able to live tranquil, undisturbed lives, as we worship the awe-inspiring God with pure hearts.

3 It is pleasing to our Savior-God to pray for them.

4 He longs for everyone to embrace His Life and return to the full knowledge of the Truth.

The next president has a clear mandate to clean up the lawlessness in the country. However, it is up to us to pray and pull down the spiritual strongholds that have been allowed to operate over the past years.

Life Is About Relationships

Tuesday, December 3rd, 2024

Christianity is primarily not a religion of doctrine; it is a religion of relationships!

Religion is the relationship between humans and what they consider to be Sacred, Holy, Spiritual, or Divine.

Relationship is what The Holy Spirit is emphasizing by every means possible. You can be totally right in all your doctrines and totally wrong in all your relationships.

Peter wrote by The Holy Spirit in 1^st Peter chapter 3:

8 Now, this is the goal: to live in harmony with one another and demonstrate affectionate Love, sympathy, and kindness toward other believers. Let humility describe who you are as you dearly Love one another.

9 Never retaliate when someone treats you wrongly, nor insult those who insult you, but instead, respond by speaking a blessing over them—because a blessing is what God promised to give you.

10 For the Scriptures tell us: Whoever wants to embrace true Life and find beauty in each day

11 must stop speaking evil, hurtful words and never deceive in what they say. Always turn from what is wrong and cultivate what is good; eagerly pursue peace in every relationship, making it your prize.

12 For the Eyes of the Lord YAHWEH rest upon the Godly, and His Heart responds to their prayers. But He turns His Back on those who practice evil.

The above passage reiterated what was conveyed by The Holy Spirit in Psalm chapter 34:

12 Do you want to live a long, good life, enjoying the beauty that fills each day? Then never speak a lie or allow wicked words to come from your mouth.

14 Keep turning your back on every sin, and make “peace” your life motto. Practice being at peace with everyone.

15 The Lord sees all we do; He watches over His friends day and night. His Godly ones receive the answers they seek whenever they cry out to Him.

16 But the Lord has made up His Mind to oppose evildoers and to wipe out even the memory of them from the face of the earth.

A symphony requires a conductor (The Holy Spirit), a musical score (The Word of GOD) and a group of musicians who are playing in one accord and in harmony with each other (believers). The result is a pleasant and desirable result.

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in 1^st Timothy chapter 2:

1 Most of all, I’m writing to encourage you to pray with gratitude to God. Pray for all men with all forms of prayers and requests as you intercede with intense passion.

2 And pray for every political leader and representative, so that we would be able to live tranquil, undisturbed lives, as we worship the awe-inspiring God with pure hearts.

3 It is pleasing to our Savior-God to pray for them.

4 He longs for everyone to embrace His Life and return to the full knowledge of the Truth.

Who are we to pray for as a high priority? Political leaders and representatives! What is the expected result? That we would be able to live tranquil, undisturbed lives, as we worship the awe-inspiring God with pure hearts.

We should include this priority in our daily prayer time. The new administration coming to power of January 20^th, 2025, has its highest priority, to promote peace, lawfulness, honesty, and prosperity. This is the definition of good government.

Those who oppose these mandates will be dealt with in the appropriate fashion. Warmongers, the lawless, and those who have compromised the health of the nation for money, will be removed from their positions of power.

We need to take Paul’s encouragement seriously! Prayer in the spiritual realm will impact the physical realm.

We Are To Demonstrate Victory

Monday, December 2nd, 2024

The ekklesia is in the world to demonstrate the victory Jesus achieved at the cross and resurrection!

These Words of Jesus are vital to be embraced for us to demonstrate the power and authority given to us by Jesus Himself.

As written yesterday-

Jesus spoke in Matthew chapter 28:

18 And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth (nothing is left out).

And in John chapter 20:

21 So Jesus said to them again, “Peace to you! As the Father has sent Me, I also send you.“

Sadly, my internal development has been lacking. When I look back, I was too focused on other matters which resulted in slower spiritual development. My priorities were not fully in line with the commands of Jesus. As a result, I have had inconsistent success in the critical areas. Thankfully, FATHER’S grace and mercy prevailed in my life.

Any and all rebellious thoughts must be brought into captivity. Our thought life must be brought into captivity to the obedience of Christ. Deep down, I know that The Holy Spirit wants us to walk in complete victory in all areas, especially in the area of healing the sick. Today’s society views the source of healing to be found by use of pharmaceuticals rather than by the laying on of hands of those operating in The Holy Spirit.

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in 2^nd Corinthians chapter 10:

3 For although we live in the natural realm, we don’t wage a military campaign employing human weapons, using manipulation to achieve our aims. Instead, our spiritual weapons are energized with Divine power to effectively dismantle the defenses behind which people hide.

5 We can demolish every deceptive fantasy that opposes God and break through every arrogant attitude that is raised up in defiance of the true knowledge of God.

We capture, like prisoners of war, every thought and insist that it bow in obedience to the Anointed One.

We must break through the veil separating the spiritual realm from the carnal realm. The adversary wants to redirect our focus away from the spiritual realm for he knows that once we pierce that spiritual realm where victory resides, he has lost the battle with us as individuals.

Every believer has been given the power and authority by Jesus, not just a few selected ones. Each of us needs to quit belittling ourselves thinking we are not worthy of walking in such power based on the past. WE ARE new creations in Christ Jesus! Overcomers, by definition, must overcome the ploys of the devil.

What weapons do we have available? Prayer, fasting, praise, testimony, preaching, and the gifts of The Holy Spirit.

Jesus instructed us in Matthew chapter 18:

18 “Assuredly (receive this Eternal Truth), I say to you, whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.

19 “Again I say to you that if two of you agree on earth concerning anything that they ask, it will be done for them by My Father in Heaven.

20 For where two or three are gathered together in My Name, I am there in the midst of them.”

In these verses are contained all the power for anything you ever want done. When two or three have been led together (by The Holy Spirit) into My Name, there am I in the midst.

Consider what Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Romans chapter 8:

14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are Sons of God.

Does Our Father respond to the Words of His Sons? Absolutely! We cannot leave out The Holy Spirit in any Christian activity. Sons and Daughters must gather around the Name of Jesus Christ in this dispensation. HIS Name is where the power and authority resides. This is why the world does not want His Name mentioned at all!

We Are To Overcome In Every Area

Sunday, December 1st, 2024

The ekklesia is responsible to intervene in the spiritual realm and to overcome all attempts by the adversary to subvert the physical realm!

Jesus spoke in Matthew chapter 28:

18 And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth (nothing is left out).

And in John chapter 20:

21 So Jesus said to them again, “Peace to you! As the Father has sent Me, I also send you.“

Jesus has all authority, and He has granted us all authority as well. As we are sent, we are to take up the armor of GOD. If we didn’t need spiritual weaponry, then The Holy Spirit would not have alerted us to the need. We are to triumph in Christ in every area, both the seen and the unseen. We are to be triumphant in Christ in all areas.

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

14 Now thanks be to God Who always leads us in triumph in Christ, and through us diffuses the fragrance of His knowledge in every place.

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Ephesians chapter 6:

10 Now my beloved ones, I have saved these most important Truths for last: Be supernaturally infused with strength through your life-union with the Lord Jesus. Stand victorious with the force of His explosive power flowing in and through you. 11 Put on God’s complete set of armor provided for us, so that you will be protected as you fight against the evil strategies of the accuser!

12 Your hand-to-hand combat is not with human beings, but with the highest principalities and authorities operating in rebellion under the heavenly realms. For they are a powerful class of demon-gods and evil spirits that hold this dark world in bondage.

13 Because of this, you must wear all the armor that God provides so you’re protected as you confront the slanderer, for you are destined for all things and will rise victorious.

14 Put on Truth as a belt to strengthen you to stand in triumph. Put on Holiness as the protective armor that covers your heart.

15 Stand on your feet alert, then you’ll always be ready to share the blessings of peace.

16 In every battle, take faith as your wrap-around shield, for it is able to extinguish the blazing arrows coming at you from the evil one!

17-18 Embrace the power of salvation’s full deliverance, like a helmet to protect your thoughts from lies. And take the mighty razor-sharp Spirit-sword of the spoken Word of God. Pray passionately in the Spirit, as you constantly intercede with every form of prayer at all times. Pray the blessings of God upon all his believers.

We are to walk in Truth, Holiness, peace, faith, a renewed mind, hearing GOD’S Voice, and we are to pray, especially in The Holy Spirit. As we triumph in the spiritual realm, the physical realm will submit and respond accordingly. The physical realm does not act independently of the spiritual realm. We must keep that in mind at all times and not be misdirected by looking at the physical world only.

Kids In Need Update

Saturday, November 30th, 2024

We provided food cards last week for families in need to buy Thanksgiving groceries who would otherwise have insufficient means to celebrate Thanksgiving.

In addition, we purchase winter beanies for kids who had no means to buy their own. We ordered beanies with the school’s colors and logo as that the kids could be proud of their school. We had our first freezing temperatures this last week. The beanies came just in time.

The following is a testimony of the school counselor:

Through Servias’ ministry, I feel like I’m constantly walking around with the mindset of “Who can we help today?” Last week, I had a meeting with a parent to start her daughter in speech therapy services. This child started here at the end of last school year, and her older sister just started last week. There had been a lot of concerns and red flags, so I wasn’t sure what to expect when mom came to the meeting (honestly, I wasn’t even expecting her to show up.) During the meeting, mom opened up to us about her struggles as a single mom, working a job making $11 an hour, not being home in the afternoons, the older sister makes dinner every night, etc. I gave her a Crest card and just told her that we can see how hard she is working to take care of her kids and we wanted to bless her and partner with her. She was so very thankful, and then shared with us that her husband took his life last year, and she and her daughters found him. It was just another reminder that we truly have no idea what our kids experience when they aren’t at school. But I also know that by providing her with something tangible to show that we care, the mom immediately felt like she could trust us. There have been things that we’ve been needing mom to do that she hasn’t taken care of- and now, she is eager to do whatever she needs to do.

We appreciate the faithfulness of those who are able to give. We are ministering to the poor as Jesus commanded!

The Unchangeable Oath

Saturday, November 30th, 2024

GOD swore an oath of blessing that cannot be broken and Jesus confirmed it through His earthly ministry and has empowered the ekklesia to complete it!

Jesus came to the earth to fully execute FATHER’S Plan of dominion which has been given to the church to complete at the end of the age.

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Ephesians chapter 3:

7 I have been made a messenger of this wonderful news by the gift of grace that works through me. Even though I am the least significant of all His Holy believers, this grace-gift was imparted when the manifestation of His power came upon me. Grace alone empowers me so that I can boldly preach this wonderful message to non-Jewish people, sharing with them the unfading, inexhaustible riches of Christ, which are beyond comprehension.

9 My passion is to enlighten every person to this Divine mystery. It was hidden for ages past until now, and kept a secret in the Heart of God, the Creator of all.

10 The purpose of this was to unveil before every throne and rank of angelic orders in the heavenly realm God’s full and diverse Wisdom revealed through the ekklēsia.

11 This perfectly Wise plan was destined from eternal ages and fulfilled completely in our Lord Jesus Christ, so that now

12 we have boldness through Him, and free access as kings before the Father because of our complete confidence in Christ’s faithfulness.

If we have complete confidence in Christ’s faithfulness to the Divine Intent of FATHER, we will walk in boldness and we will not cower down before the opposition.

It is also written by The Holy Spirit in Hebrews 6:

13 Now when God made a promise to Abraham, since there was no one greater than Himself, He swore an oath on His Own Integrity to keep the promise as sure as God exists!

14 So He said, “Have no doubt, I promise to bless you over and over, and give you a son and multiply you without measure!”

15 So Abraham waited patiently in faith and succeeded in seeing the promise fulfilled.

16 It is very common for people to swear an oath by something greater than themselves, for the oath will confirm their statements and end all dispute.

17 So in the same way, God wanted to end all doubt and confirm it even more forcefully to those who would inherit His promises. His purpose was unchangeable, so God added his vow (an oath) to the promise.

We are intended to have complete faith in the Oath of GOD first given to Abraham which included his seed of which we are a part of the ensuing generations. FATHER Oath cannot be changed or altered so we are to stand on this Oath which has been proven to be in force throughout the past centuries.

As the ekklesia of Jesus Christ, we are the decisive factor in human affairs. The destinies of man and civilizations depends on us. With this in mind, let us return to what Jesus said in Matthew chapter 5:

13 “You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt loses its flavor, how shall it be seasoned? It is then good for nothing but to be thrown out and trampled underfoot by men.

14 “You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden.

15 Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house.

16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in Heaven.

We are to preserve as salt so as to allow men to repent as they are exposed to the Light shining before them. Our good works should include: In the Name of Jesus we will cast out demons; we will speak with new tongues; we will take up serpents; and if we drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurt us; we will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover; we will raise the dead back to life.

These are all aspects of the unchangeable Oath given by FATHER to Abraham.

His Sole Purpose

Friday, November 29th, 2024

What is the sole purpose for Jesus coming in the flesh!

Jesus came to the earth to restore FATHER’S Plan of dominion, which was given to man, then stolen by the adversary. He did exactly that!

After His resurrection Jesus spoke to the disciples and us as believers in John chapter 20:

21 So Jesus said to them again, “Peace to you! Just as the Father has sent Me, even so, I also send you.”

22 And when He had said this, He breathed on them, and said to them, “Receive the Holy Spirit.

23 I send you to preach the forgiveness of sins—and people’s sins will be forgiven. But if you don’t proclaim the forgiveness of their sins, they will remain guilty.”

FATHER sent Jesus exactly for the purpose of restoring mankind and Jesus exactly sends us for the same purpose with the direct help of The Holy Spirit. FATHER makes no mistakes and is totally precise in HIS Divine Intent. There are no approximates in Heaven!

Jesus spoke in John chapter 6:

35 And Jesus said to them, “I am the Bread of Life. He who comes to Me shall never hunger, and he who believes in Me shall never thirst.

36 But I said to you that you have seen Me and yet do not believe.

37 All that the Father gives Me will come to Me, and the one who comes to Me I will by no means cast out.

38 For I have come down from Heaven, not to do My own Will, but the Will of Him Who sent Me.

39 This is the Will of the Father Who sent Me, that of all He has given Me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up at the last day.

40 And this is the will of Him Who sent Me, that everyone who sees the Son and believes in Him may have Everlasting Life; and I will raise him up at the last day.”

FATHER’S Will is precise and does not contain a maybe, probably, or possibly. Astronomers rely on the preciseness of FATHER’S Word. They accurately predict the movement of the stars and the moon with full reliability. True science is based on the reliability of the elements contained in the periodic table. The list goes on.

Jesus also revealed in John chapter 10:

32 Jesus answered them, “Many good works I have shown you from My Father. For which of those works do you stone Me?”

The works Jesus did originated from Our Heavenly Father… precisely. Jesus expressed the outward manifestation of FATHER’S Divine Intent. He did nothing apart from Our Heavenly Father.

Thirdly, Jesus revealed in John chapter 14:

10 Don’t you believe that the Father is living in Me and that I am living in The Father? Even My Words are not My own but come from My Father, for HE lives in Me and performs HIS miracles of power through Me.

11 Believe that I live as One with My Father and that My Father lives as One with Me—or at least, believe because of the mighty miracles I have done.

12 “I tell you this timeless Truth: The person who follows Me in faith, believing in Me, will do the same mighty miracles that I do—even greater miracles than these because I go to be with My Father!

Jesus only spoke Words given to Him by Our Heavenly Father. Jesus was totally led by The Holy Spirit in all areas. As you and I embrace the preciseness of The Word, we too will walk as Jesus walked. Miracles will follow us testifying of Our Heavenly Father’s Divine Intent for mankind.

Fourthly, in verse 9:

Jesus said to him, “Have I been with you so long, and yet you have not known Me, Philip? He who has seen Me has seen the Father; so how can you say, ‘Show us the Father’?

Jesus provided us with the Image of The Father. Let there be no mistake, FATHER seeks to restore all who will repent and turn from their wicked ways. However, each person must make the decision. Our responsibility is to provide such a decision so no one can claim ignorance at the time of Divine Judgement.
