In 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 1^st 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.

Be not deceived!

The 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 2^nd 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!

When 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.

Ultimately, 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!

It 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.

Reading the Bible by Itself does not bring forth unity among believers!

It is estimated that there are more than 45,000 denominations globally. Followers of Jesus span the globe. But the global body of more than 2 billion Christians is separated into thousands of denominations. Pentecostal, Presbyterian, Lutheran, Baptist, Apostolic, Methodist — the list goes on. 

If they all have Bibles, why aren’t the 2 billion Christians in unity?  Words written on white pages are not sufficient to bring forth unity in THE SPIRIT.

Jesus spoke in John chapter 10:

27 My sheep hear My Voice, and I know them, and they follow Me.

There are three qualifiers of true believers mentioned by Jesus:

They hear His Voice

Jesus knows, recognizes, and acknowledges them

They follow/obey Him

Jesus did not say that reading Scripture would qualify you as sheep.  The Pharisees knew the Scripture but could not hear Jesus.  Sheep will only respond to One Voice and no other!  Understanding this Truth is vital to our future.

Jesus spoke in Matthew chapter 25:

31 “When the Son of Man comes in His glory, and all the Holy angels with Him, then He will sit on the Throne of His glory.

32 All the nations will be gathered before Him, and He will separate them one from another, as a shepherd divides his sheep from the goats.

33 And He will set the sheep on His Right Hand, but the goats on the left.

34 Then the King will say to those on His Right Hand, ‘Come, you blessed of My Father, inherit the Kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:

35 for I was hungry and you gave Me food; I was thirsty and you gave Me drink; I was a stranger and you took Me in;

36 I was naked and you clothed Me; I was sick and you visited Me; I was in prison and you came to Me.’

Jesus gave us qualifiers that identified His true sheep.  He listed some of their actions that resulted from hearing His Voice.

37 “Then the righteous will answer Him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry and feed You, or thirsty and give You drink?

38 When did we see You a stranger and take You in, or naked and clothe You?

39 Or when did we see You sick, or in prison, and come to You?’

40 And the King will answer and say to them, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these My brethren, you did it to Me.’

We must keep our hearing sensitive to this expectation that Jesus shared.

41 “Then He will also say to those on the Left Hand, ‘Depart from Me, you cursed, into the everlasting fire prepared for the devil and his angels:

42 for I was hungry and you gave Me no food; I was thirsty and you gave Me no drink;

43 I was a stranger and you did not take Me in, naked and you did not clothe Me, sick and in prison and you did not visit Me.’

Those who are greedy and self-centered are classified as goats.  Goats cannot be led by a shepherd.  They are stubborn.

44 “Then they also will answer Him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and did not minister to You?’ 45 Then He will answer them, saying, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to Me.’

46 And these will go away into everlasting punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.”

Each of us must critically assess where we stand in responding to The Holy Spirit.  Reading the Bible without hearing The Holy Spirit is not the answer.  The prophets had to hear The Word in order to carry out their mission.  We do too!

Those who develop their ability to hear what The Holy Spirit is directing, will come into unity with other believers.  They will all walk in Holiness.

FATHER’S plan is trustworthy and true, it reigns supreme over all of creation!

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Ephesians chapter 1:

9 And through the revelation of the Anointed One, HE unveiled HIS secret desires to us—the hidden mystery of HIS long-range plan, which HE was delighted to implement from the very beginning of time.

10 And because of God’s unfailing purpose, this detailed plan will reign supreme through every period of time until the fulfillment of all the ages finally reaches its climax—when God makes all things new in all of Heaven and earth through Jesus Christ.

FATHER expects us to base our life on HIS Truth and trustworthiness.  I am “all in”, how about you?

It is written by THE SPIRIT in Daniel chapter 2:

44 “In the days of those kings of iron and clay, the God of Heaven will set up an Eternal Kingdom that will never be destroyed nor ruled by other people. It will shatter and bring all other Kingdoms to an end, and it will stand forever!

45 This is the meaning of what you saw in your vision: a rock cut out of a mountain—but not by human hands—a rock that shattered the iron, the bronze, the clay, the silver, and the gold to pieces is his eternal kingdom. The Great God has revealed to you, the king, what will take place after this. The dream is true, and its interpretation trustworthy.”

46 Then King Nebuchadnezzar bowed low to the ground in awe of Daniel. Then he gave orders for incense to be burned and a sacrifice of grain to be offered in Daniel’s honor.

47 The king said to Daniel, “Your God is without question the God of all gods, the Master of all kings, and the Revealer of all mysteries since HE has given you the revelation of this mystery.”

These Words were spoken centuries ago and are in the midst of coming to pass.  FATHER revealed certain aspects of HIS plan to King Nebuchadnezzar to be interpreted by Daniel, the prophet.  We can look back through history and see those Words manifested throughout the earth.  Daniel’s revelation came from Above and is trustworthy and true.

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

3 Grace to you and peace [inner calm and spiritual well-being] from God Our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

4 I thank My God always for you because of the grace of God which was given you in Christ Jesus,

5 so that in everything you were [exceedingly] enriched in Him, in all speech [empowered by the spiritual gifts] and in all knowledge [with insight into the faith].

6 In this way our testimony about Christ was confirmed and established in you,

7 so that you are not lacking in any spiritual gift [which comes from the Holy Spirit], as you eagerly wait [with confident trust] for the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ [when He returns].

8 And He will also confirm you to the end [keeping you strong and free of any accusation, so that you will be] blameless and beyond reproach in the day [of the return] of our Lord Jesus Christ.

9 God is faithful [He is reliable, trustworthy and ever true to His promise—He can be depended on], and through Him you were called into fellowship with His Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.

I was baptized and sealed in The Holy Spirit in 1971.  Throughout the years, FATHER has confirmed time and time again that HIS Word is trustworthy and true, and I can testify of this reality.  The heavens and the stars also testify of HIS Word being reliable and true.  All of creation testifies of HIM.  Only the blindness of men will keep them from such observations.  FATHER’S plan is irrevocable and has no need for assistance from the created!
