The Coming Judgement
Thursday, October 10th, 2024Understanding The Ministries Of The Holy Spirit: Part 16
Wednesday, October 2nd, 2024The Holy Spirit is our Source of revelation, understanding, and knowledge!
The Internet is full of people who want you to believe their predictions of the future, understanding of things, and for us to pay for their products, services, and/or books. The question is: “Is there lasting benefit to me?”. How often have you regretted spending time and/or money in pursuit of what they offer?
Jesus revealed this Truth when He spoke in John chapter 16:
13 However, when He, the Spirit of Truth, has come, He will guide you into all Truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you (prophetically of) things to come.
14 He will glorify Me, for He will take of what is Mine and declare it to you.
15 All things that the Father has are Mine. Therefore I said that He will take of Mine and declare it to you.
In other Words, 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.
The Holy Spirit will share knowledge with us that we could not know otherwise. I can look back over the last 52 years and see where He led me in all aspects of my life, personal and professional. When I disregarded His direction, I suffered. When I acted under His direction, I prospered.
The Holy Spirit shares with us the secrets of Heaven. He will also tell us of things to come for we live in very dangerous times. He knows what the evil and violent forces are at work in the world and they are now manifesting more evil and more violence every day.
Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Hebrews chapter 11:
7 By faith Noah, being Divinely warned of things not yet seen, moved with Godly fear, prepared an ark for the saving of his household, by which he condemned the world and became heir of the righteousness which is according to faith.
And in Romans 10:
17 So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God.
In other Words, faith, then, is birthed in a heart that responds to God’s anointed Utterance of the Anointed One.
Noah did not listen to those around him. They had no idea what would happen in the earth.
Moses recorded by THE SPIRIT in Genesis chapter 6:
8 But Noah found grace in the Eyes of the LORD.
9 This is the genealogy of Noah. Noah was a just man, perfect in his generations. Noah walked with God.
We too effectively walk with GOD as we are led by The Holy Spirit Who is in us. As we submit to Him, He will fully prepare us for the times ahead. The sooner this happens, the more prepared we will be. Noah was not surprised when judgment finally manifested, and the rain began. He prepared the ark despite the ridicule of wicked men.
Jesus referred to Noah when He spoke in Matthew chapter 24:
36 “But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of Heaven, but My Father only.
37 But as the days of Noah were, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be.
38 For as in the days before the flood, they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark,
39 and did not know until the flood came and took them all away, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be.
Many who have not submitted to The Holy Spirit will be caught unaware of what will soon take place.
Jesus then focuses on the faithful servant who responds to The Holy Spirit:
45 “What would qualify a servant to manage his Master’s House? He would be a wise servant who is both faithful and dependable. The master would commission him to oversee others, for he would lead them well and give them food at the right time.
46 What joy and blessing will come to that faithful servant when The Master comes home to find him serving with excellence!
47 I can promise you, The Master will raise him up and put him in charge of all that He owns.
Servias Ministries and its partners faithfully help the poor, especially the kids in need. The Holy Spirit had us set up this ministry in 2006, it was definitely not my idea. FATHER continues to bless this outreach, and we are truly thankful to those who are able to give.
In Genesis 6:5 THE LORD saw how extremely wicked humanity had become, for they imagined only evil, for all they thought about was doing evil all the time. Look around, are we seeing a replay of what was happening then?
It is vital that you and I walk by revelation, understanding, and knowledge given to us by The Holy Spirit. Men’s opinions will not prove reliable in the days ahead.
Walk In The Present
Wednesday, September 11th, 2024In the last of the last days, the chosen of GOD will be most concerned about the here and now!
Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Titus chapter 2:
11 For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men,
12 teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and Godly in the present age,
13 looking for the blessed hope and glorious appearing of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ,
14 Who gave Himself for us, that He might redeem us from every lawless deed and purify for Himself His own special people, zealous for good works.
We are to live in the present at all times and we will be zealous to carry out good works on behalf of Our Lord Jesus Christ. HE redeemed us from lawlessness and is purifying us for Himself. We are His and should walk daily with that understanding. Our walk is to be above reproach even though the evil one will try to convince us otherwise.
What about genuine prophecies, are we to neglect them? No. However, we are to test them according to Scripture.
Paul also wrote by The Holy Spirit in 1st Thessalonians chapter 5:
19 Do not quench the Spirit.
20 Do not despise prophecies.
21 Test all things; hold fast what is good.
We are not to despise any manifestation of The Holy Spirit; we are never to restrain of put out the fire of The Holy Spirit. As we are led by The Holy Spirit, we will be able to discern expressed prophecies for their validity. There is an abundance of prophecies being given these days, but we must keep our focus on the daily activities we are called to do. Let us not sacrifice the “here and now” by solely focusing on prophecies pointing to the future. If we are living in Holiness, the future will take care of itself. Our future is based on our trust in THE LORD as we serve Him daily.
A prophecy will not terrorize you or dictate that you take a specific action. The Holy Spirit will lead you to action. Over the years, I have seen unsuspecting believers live from one prophecy to another, always in the future. They sacrifice their daily walk which is where we are to be fruitful for the Kingdom. Ultimately, they crash and burn. Most often, a genuine prophecy will alert us so that we are not caught unaware of events in the future that might otherwise cause us to fear rather than be prepared.
It is written by THE SPIRIT in Isaiah chapter 8:
19 And when they say to you, “Seek those who are mediums and wizards, who whisper and mutter,” should not a people seek their God? Should they seek the dead on behalf of the living?
This is a warning against seances.
20 To the law and to the testimony! If they do not speak according to this Word, it is because there is no light in them.
The ultimate test of a prophecy is: does the person speak according to the Law and the Testimony of The Word? If not, disregard. If you are ignorant of The Word, you can be deceived by so-called prophets. It is up to each of us to find confirmation in GOD’S Word before we accept a prophecy. If we can’t find confirmation, place that prophecy on the shelf and wait for FATHER’S confirmation. In the meantime, you and I have plenty to do in the here and now.
Jesus spoke in Matthew chapter 6:
33 “So above all, constantly seek God’s Kingdom and His righteousness, then all these less important things will be given to you abundantly.
34 Refuse to worry about tomorrow, but deal with each challenge that comes your way, one day at a time. Tomorrow will take care of itself.”
Let us heed what Jesus said about tomorrow.
Expect Rebellion
Sunday, September 8th, 2024In the last of the last days, expect rebellion to come!
Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in 2nd Thessalonians chapter 2:
1 Now, regarding the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together to Him, we plead with you, Beloved friends,
2 not to be easily confused or disturbed in your minds by any kind of spirit, rumor, or letter allegedly from us, claiming that the day of the Lord has already come.
3 Don’t let anyone deceive you in any way. Before that day comes the rebellion must occur and the “outlaw”—the destructive son—will be revealed in his true light.
4 He is the opposing counterpart who exalts himself over everything that is called “God” or is worshiped and who sits enthroned in God’s temple and makes himself out to be a god.
5 Don’t you remember that when I was with you I went over all these things?
Paul issues a warning applicable to us: don’t be confused or disturbed in our minds when we move into the last of the last days. Fifty years ago, I would not have anticipated the society of today. Most kids walked to school without fear. There were no mass shootings. No one questioned their sex. The Lord’s prayer was quoted by all students without issue. No one burned the flag. Now, rebellion is at hand.
Paul continues:
6 Now you are aware of the ruling power so that he may be fully revealed when his time comes.
7 For the mystery of lawlessness is already active, but the one who prevails will do so until he is separated from out of the midst.
8 Then the “outlaw” will be openly revealed, and the Lord will overthrow him by the breath of his mouth and bring him to an end by the dazzling manifestation of His Presence.
9 The presence of the “outlaw” is apparent by the activity of satan, who uses all kinds of counterfeit miracles, signs, spurious wonders,
10 and every form of evil deception in order to deceive those who are perishing because they rejected the Love of the Truth that would lead them to being saved.
11 Because of this, God sends them a powerful delusion that leads them to believe what is false.
12 So then all who found their pleasure in unrighteousness and did not believe the Truth will be judged.
This is an ominous warning! We must acknowledge that there will be those who will reject the Love of the Truth and will reap the consequences of their decision. It is not GOD’S will than any should perish but every person has a choice. That choice will determine where they spend eternity.
Today, it is not business as usual. Society has embraced unrighteousness and self-gratification. They are lovers of pleasure and money. They will gladly give up the future for immediate gratification for they are not willing to self-sacrifice.
Do you truly believe that Jesus will bring to an end the adversary by appearing in His dazzling, manifested Presence? I do! If you don’t, reread the Revelation of Jesus Christ recorded by the Apostle John.
Strong delusion must come, and it is now here. Paul warned us of this when he wrote by The Holy Spirit in Romans chapter 1:
18 For God in Heaven unveils His Holy anger breaking forth against every form of sin, both toward ungodliness that lives in hearts and evil actions. For the wickedness of humanity deliberately smothers the Truth and keeps people from acknowledging the Truth about God.
19 In reality, the Truth of God is known instinctively, for God has embedded this knowledge inside every human heart.
20 Opposition to Truth cannot be excused on the basis of ignorance, because from the creation of the world, the invisible qualities of God’s nature have been made visible, such as His Eternal power and transcendence. He has made his wonderful attributes easily perceived, for seeing the visible makes us understand the invisible. So then, this leaves everyone without excuse.
As it was in the days of Noah, so it is now. Noah persevered while the society around him practiced and promoted lawlessness. They scoffed at him just as people persecute the true believers today.
Am I thrilled about what I see in our society? Absolutely not! However, I accept that this great delusion was prophesied and is now manifested all around us. Let us not be troubled or discouraged but instead, look for His dazzling Presence to arrive soon.
The Great Deception
Wednesday, September 4th, 2024The phrase “seeing is believing” is unreliable so be careful. Magicians use deception to make a living. If you don’t know the Truth, you can be easily deceived.
Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Philippians chapter 1:
9 I continue to pray for your Love to grow and increase beyond measure, bringing you into the rich revelation of spiritual insight (discernment) in all things.
10 This will enable you to choose the most excellent way of all—becoming pure and without offense until the unveiling of Christ.
11 And you will be filled completely with the fruits of righteousness that are found in Jesus, the Anointed One—bringing great praise and glory to God!
Discernment is the ability to choose between what is true and right and what is false and wrong. Looks can be deceiving. The supernatural can be deceiving so we must be able to hear The Holy Spirit when confronted by the supernatural acts of men. The god of this world uses deception to lead people astray. After all, he is the father of lies.
Paul also wrote by The Holy Spirit in 2nd Timothy chapter 3:
8 History has given us an example of this (corrupt minds) with the Egyptian sorcerers Jannes and Jambres, who stood against Moses in their arrogance. So it will be in the last days with those who reject the faith with their corrupt minds and arrogant hearts, standing against the Truth of God.
9 But they will not advance, for everyone will see their madness, just as they did with Jannes and Jambres!
In the last days, there will be miracles that challenge the faith of believers similar to the magicians (sorcerers) of Pharoah’s staff in Egypt at the time of Moses.
Moses recorded by THE SPIRIT in Exodus chapter 7:
8 Then the LORD spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying,
We often overlook the fact that both Moses and Aaron heard GOD’S Voice. HE did not send them a scroll with HIS instructions. They relied solely on hearing HIS Voice to deal with Pharoah and his sorcerers.
9 “When Pharaoh speaks to you, saying, ‘Show a miracle for yourselves,’ then you shall say to Aaron, ‘Take your rod and cast it before Pharaoh, and let it become a serpent.'”
10 So Moses and Aaron went in to Pharaoh, and they did so, just as the LORD commanded. And Aaron cast down his rod before Pharaoh and before his servants, and it became a serpent.
11 But Pharaoh also called the wise men and the sorcerers; so the magicians of Egypt, they also did in like manner with their enchantments.
12 For every man threw down his rod, and they became serpents. But Aaron’s rod swallowed up their rods.
13 And Pharaoh’s heart grew hard, and he did not heed them, as the LORD had said.
It was critical for Moses and Aaron to be prepared for what was to come. Pharoah had his own minions who had proven their value by initiating supernatural acts to support his position. There was no question that they operated in the supernatural. The father of lies had shown them how to access the supernatural. However, their access was notably subordinate to that of The Lord God Almighty.
The authority given to us will swallow up any other authority in heaven and earth. It is critical for us to prepare ourselves for the challenges ahead.
What is to come?
The Beloved Disciple recorded what he heard in THE SPIRIT in Revelation chapter 12:
7Then a terrible war broke out in heaven. Michael and his angels fought against the great dragon. The dragon and his angels fought back.
8 But the dragon did not have the power to win and they could not regain their place in heaven.
9 So the great dragon was thrown down once and for all. He was the serpent, the ancient snake called the devil, and satan, who deceives the whole earth. He was cast down into the earth and his angels along with him.
10 Then I heard a triumphant voice in heaven proclaiming: “Now salvation and power are set in place, and the Kingdom reign of our God and the ruling authority of his Anointed One are established. For the accuser of our brothers and sisters, who relentlessly accused them day and night before our God, has now been defeated—cast out once and for all!
11 They conquered him completely through the Blood of the Lamb and the powerful Word of His testimony. They triumphed because they did not Love and cling to their own lives, even when faced with death.
Do not be deceived, we win in the end!
The World’s Priorities
Tuesday, September 3rd, 2024The world’s priorities are in direct opposition to GOD’S priorities!
What are your priorities? Do they align with GOD’S priorities, or do they align with the world’s? A person’s priorities reveal his or her mindset and path.
Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in 2nd Timothy chapter 3:
1 But you need to be aware that in the final days the culture of society will become extremely fierce.
We have been warned that in the last days, the true church will be persecuted. We are now in the midst of the final days of the last days. Society is becoming so deranged that they are redefining terms to present their own definitions of truth. Light is now dark, and dark is now light. Homosexuality has become acceptable, redefining sex and redefining marriage are now being embraced by an increasing number of people including certain church denominations.
2 People will be self-centered lovers of themselves and obsessed with money. They will boast of great things as they strut around in their arrogant pride and mock all that is right. They will ignore their own families. They will be ungrateful and ungodly.
The first two priorities are lovers of self and lovers of money. Self-centeredness and greed are all around us.
3 They will become addicted to hateful and malicious slander. Slaves to their desires, they will be ferocious, belligerent haters of what is good and right.
I am personally amazed at people who hate what is good and right. What a perversion!
4 With brutal treachery, they will act without restraint, bigoted and wrapped in clouds of their conceit. They will find their delight in the pleasures of this world more than the pleasures of the loving God.
Their third priority is that they are lovers of pleasure. They are so focused on entertainment that they spend an excessive amount of time and money on pleasure while people suffer all around them. In 2024, the average price of a Super Bowl ticket was reportedly $8,600. In 1967, it was $10.
5 They may pretend to have a respect for God, but in reality, they want nothing to do with God’s power. Stay away from people like these!
This verse leads us to believe that there are people in church that in reality, have no interest if GOD’S priorities. Where they spend their time and money reveals whose priorities are important to them.
6 For they are the ones who worm their way into the hearts of vulnerable women, spending the night with those who are captured by their lusts and steeped in sin.
Would abortion be such an issue if righteousness prevailed in people’s lives? They simply want to fulfill the lust of the flesh without accepting responsibility for their actions.
7 They are always learning but never discover the revelation-knowledge of Truth.
The world has an insatiable desire for knowledge as it fits their worldly priorities. Pharmaceuticals have replaced GOD’S healing power. Influencers attempt to project their opinions to move people in a certain way. They are attempting to counter those who are being led by The Holy Spirit.
8 History has given us an example of this with the Egyptian sorcerers Jannes and Jambres, who stood against Moses in their arrogance. So it will be in the last days with those who reject the faith with their corrupt minds and arrogant hearts, standing against the Truth of God.
9 But they will not advance, for everyone will see their madness, just as they did with Jannes and Jambres!
From my vantage point, it looks like we are in the final days of the last days so don’t be surprised by the persecution coming forth against FATHER’S elect!
Hearing GOD’S Voice: Part 20
Monday, September 2nd, 2024When you hear and respond to GOD’S Voice, you start aligning with HIS Divine priorities!
What are your priorities? Do they align with GOD’S?
The world has its own set of priorities, and they are opposed to what FATHER has instructed us to focus on as HIS elect. Our callings are meant to promote FATHER’S priorities on this earth. As we are led by The Holy Spirit, our focus will shift from the world’s priorities to FATHER’S priorities, and we will walk daily full of joy.
Jesus established the means to walk in FATHER’S priorities when He spoke in Luke chapter 4:
4 But Jesus answered the adversary, saying, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every rhḗma (uttered or spoken) Word of God.‘”
Jesus revealed FATHER’S number one priority when He instructed us to pray in Matthew chapter 6:
9 In this manner, therefore, pray: Our Father in Heaven, Hallowed be Your Name. 10 Your Kingdom come. Your Will be done on earth as it is in Heaven.
In other Words, manifest Your Kingdom realm, and cause Your every purpose to be fulfilled on earth, just as it is in Heaven. How is He to accomplish this? Through those of us who hear HIS Voice and carry out HIS instructions.
Objective #1: It’s for GOD’S Kingdom to come to earth.
The reason Jesus came was to bring GOD’S Kingdom to earth. You and I are here to assist in this process. This should be the first priority in our life if we are truly His disciples. If we want to be in harmony with GOD, this must be our highest priority above anything else. This is doing the Will of GOD.
And Jesus further spoke:
33 But seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things (that we need every day in life) shall be added to you.
You don’t have to pursue things if you are fully committed to GOD. HE will provide for you far and above your needs and righteous desires.
Jesus spoke again in Matthew chapter 10:
7 And as you go, preach, saying, ‘The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand.’
8 Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out demons. Freely you have received, freely give.”
This is the message of the Gospel: The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand. You can join if you like if you meet the conditions. If you don’t meet the conditions, you are excluded.
And again, in Matthew chapter 24:
14 And this Gospel of the Kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come.
Jesus stated the one requirement for the Kingdom to come, all nations must hear the Gospel. So, the top priority for us is to do our part in taking the Gospel to all nations. This is a message of a Kingdom and only one King.
Luke recorded by The Holy Spirit in Acts chapter 17:
5 But many of the Jews were motivated by bitter jealousy and formed a large mob out of the troublemakers, unsavory characters, and street gangs to incite a riot. They set out to attack Jason’s house, for he had welcomed the apostles into his home. The mob was after Paul and Silas and sought to take them by force and bring them out to the people.
6 When they couldn’t find them, they took Jason instead, along with some of the brothers in his house church, and dragged them before the city council. Along the way they screamed out, “Those troublemakers who have turned the world upside down have come here to our city.
7 And now Jason and these men have welcomed them as guests. They’re traitors to Caesar, teaching that there is another king named Jesus.”
Are we ready to challenge the world’s priorities like Paul and Silas did in Thessalonica? GOD’S Kingdom is coming, and you can be included or excluded but you cannot stop it from coming! This should be our message.
When we openly proclaim that message, we should expect the following to result: the sick get healed, the lepers get cleansed, the dead are raised, and the demons are cast out. You and I need to expect these things to happen as we openly proclaim The Kingdom.
Apart from GOD, man does not have it within himself to solve the problems of war, sickness, or poverty. Our King will bring righteousness to the earth and in turn will bring peace. Without righteousness, there will be no peace.
It is recorded by THE SPIRIT in Isaiah chapter 57:
21 “There is no peace,” Says my God, “for the wicked.”
The wicked want to keep America in perpetual wars because of the love of money and power. There will be no peace in the Middle East until the King of Righteousness has returned. It should be our priority to spread The Gospel for the Kingdom to come. Only then will there be peace on earth and goodwill toward all men.
Hearing GOD’S Voice: Part 16
Thursday, August 29th, 2024Ultimately, all men will hear GOD’S Voice, whether It expresses mercy and grace or judgment!
In recent years, most teaching from the pulpit has focused on the grace and mercy of GOD and very little teaching/preaching has mentioned HIS judgment. Without judgment, the message can become watered down. The result? Christians think they can sin without consequences and many do. They are the ones who do not walk in Holiness and have little or no interest in hearing GOD’S Voice.
Everyone will experience judgment concerning their personal life.
Jesus spoke about judgment in Matthew chapter 25:
1 “Then the Kingdom of Heaven shall be likened to ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom.
2 Now five of them were wise, and five were foolish.
14 “For the Kingdom of Heaven is like a man traveling to a far country, who called his own servants and delivered his goods to them.
15 And to one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one, to each according to his own ability; and immediately he went on a journey.
In both parables, believers were judged according to their own actions and results. Some received rewards and some suffered and were rejected with eternal consequences. Our actions will determine how we will be judged! We will either be rewarded or punished for our actions.
It is written by THE SPIRIT in Joel chapter 3:
14 Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision! For the Day of the LORD is near in the valley of decision.
15 The sun and moon will grow dark, And the stars will diminish their brightness. 16 The LORD also will roar from Zion, And utter His Voice from Jerusalem; The heavens and earth will shake; But the LORD will be a shelter for His people, And the strength of the children of Israel.
17 “So you shall know that I am the LORD your God, Dwelling in Zion My Holy mountain. Then Jerusalem shall be Holy, And no aliens shall ever pass through her again.”
Without question, FATHER will shake the heavens and the earth. This has not yet occurred, but you can be assured it will!
Paul recorded by The Holy Spirit in Hebrews chapter 12:
22 But you have come to Mount Zion and to the City of the Living God, the Heavenly Jerusalem, to an innumerable company of angels,
23 to the general assembly and church of the firstborn who are registered in heaven, to God the Judge of all, to the spirits of just men made perfect,
24 to Jesus the Mediator of the New Covenant, and to the Blood of sprinkling that speaks better things than that of Abel.
25 See that you do not refuse Him Who speaks. For if they did not escape who refused Him Who spoke on earth, much more shall we not escape if we turn away from Him Who speaks from Heaven,
26 Whose Voice then shook the earth; but now He has promised, saying, “Yet once more I shake not only the earth, but also heaven.“
Paul wrote of a future shaking that will include all existence, both the heavens and the earth.
27 Now this, “Yet once more,” indicates the removal of those things that are being shaken, as of things that are made, that the things which cannot be shaken may remain.
28 Therefore, since we are receiving a Kingdom which cannot be shaken, let us have grace, by which we may serve God acceptably with reverence and Godly fear.
29 For Our God is a consuming Fire.
Are you prepared for this great shaking? The Holy Spirit instructed me to write extensively on “Pursuing Holiness” and “Hearing GOD’S Voice”. Why? Because a shaking is coming, and HE wants HIS Elect to be fully prepared. Those who aren’t, will suffer great loss. It is vital that our priorities line up with HIS. We must hear HIS Voice and walk accordingly before the great shaking!
Judgment or Repentance
Wednesday, August 28th, 2024It is impossible for us to determine how long FATHER’S longsuffering lasts.
We are on the cusp of World War III.
We are at a major risk of economic collapse.
Suppression of free speech is occurring around the world.
Believers are increasingly being persecuted.
Major divisions among the citizenry are being promoted by those in control.
Artificial Intelligence is being developed to manage, manipulate, and control all aspects of life.
You can be assured that there will be a great shaking!
Jonathan Cahn produced the following video which compares today’s events to the time of Ahab and Jezebel.
Each of us should assess whether we are fulfilling what GOD has called us to do or have we simply compromised our walk to fit in with the current society’s values.
Will the nation be given another chance to repent or, are we entering into the time of judgment? Either way, FATHER will protect the elect.
Hearing GOD’S Voice: Part 10
Friday, August 23rd, 2024It is impossible to follow THE LORD unless you hear HIS Voice!
We cannot follow Jesus by simply reading the Logos Word, we must hear the rhḗma Word that guides us daily in our speech and activities. If two of us hear His rhḗma Word, we will be in total unity. If 153 of us hear His rhḗma Word, all of us will be in complete unity.
The Beloved Disciple wrote by The Holy Spirit in John chapter 21:
1 After these things Jesus showed Himself again to the disciples at the Sea of Tiberias, and in this way He showed Himself:
2 Simon Peter, Thomas called the Twin, Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, the sons of Zebedee, and two others of His disciples were together.
3 Simon Peter said to them, “I am going fishing.” They said to him, “We are going with you also.” They went out and immediately got into the boat, and that night they caught nothing.
Sound familiar?
4 But when the morning had now come, Jesus stood on the shore; yet the disciples did not know that it was Jesus.
5 Then Jesus said to them, “Children, have you any food?” They answered Him, “No.”
6 And He said to them, “Cast the net on the right side of the boat, and you will find some.” So they cast, and now they were not able to draw it in because of the multitude of fish.
Supernatural power and authority will be recognized when it manifests itself.
7 Therefore that disciple whom Jesus Loved said to Peter, “It is the Lord!” Now when Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he put on his outer garment (for he had removed it), and plunged into the sea.
8 But the other disciples came in the little boat (for they were not far from land, but about two hundred cubits), dragging the net with fish.
9 Then, as soon as they had come to land, they saw a fire of coals there, and fish laid on it, and bread.
10 Jesus said to them, “Bring some of the fish which you have just caught.”
11 Simon Peter went up and dragged the net to land, full of large fish, one hundred and fifty-three; and although there were so many, the net was not broken.
12 Jesus said to them, “Come and eat breakfast.” Yet none of the disciples dared ask Him, “Who are You?”-knowing that it was the Lord.
13 Jesus then came and took the bread and gave it to them, and likewise the fish. 14 This is now the third time Jesus showed Himself to His disciples after He was raised from the dead.
After Jesus’ resurrection, there were 153 fish that willingly came into the net to be eaten. Everything is established by two or three witnesses and the disciples saw Jesus for the third time.
The number 153 is the amount of water turned into wine:
The Beloved Disciple wrote by The Holy Spirit in John chapter 2:
1 On the third day there was a wedding in Cana of Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there.
2 Now both Jesus and His disciples were invited to the wedding.
3 And when they ran out of wine, the mother of Jesus said to Him, “They have no wine.”
4 Jesus said to her, “Woman, what does your concern have to do with Me? My hour has not yet come.”
5 His mother said to the servants, “Whatever He says to you, do it.”
6 Now there were set there six waterpots of stone, according to the manner of purification of the Jews, containing twenty or thirty gallons apiece.
7 Jesus said to them, “Fill the waterpots with water.” And they filled them up to the brim.
8 And He said to them, “Draw some out now, and take it to the master of the feast.” And they took it.
9 When the master of the feast had tasted the water that was made wine, and did not know where it came from (but the servants who had drawn the water knew), the master of the feast called the bridegroom.
10 And he said to him, “Every man at the beginning sets out the good wine, and when the guests have well drunk, then the inferior. You have kept the good wine until now!”
11 This beginning of signs Jesus did in Cana of Galilee, and manifested His glory; and His disciples believed in Him.
There are eight signs in the Gospel of John. The first and last reference the number 153, and both were to manifest His Glory to the disciples. All of creation will submit to the Word of GOD.
The number 153 is the numeric value of “the Sons of GOD”. This number represents unity among those mature sons and daughters who hear GOD’S Voice and submits to HIS directives. They are in unity with HIM and each other. These are the ones who will establish the Kingdom of GOD on the earth.
