The renewed mind thinks of quality, purity, and purpose above quantity!

Jesus spoke in Mark chapter 8:

13 And Jesus left them, and getting into the boat again, departed to the other side. 14 Now the disciples had forgotten to take bread, and they did not have more than one loaf with them in the boat.

15 Then He charged them, saying, “Take heed, beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and the leaven of Herod.”

16 And they reasoned among themselves, saying, “It is because we have no bread.”

17 But Jesus, being aware of it, said to them, “Why do you reason because you have no bread? Do you not yet perceive nor understand? Is your heart still hardened?

18 Having eyes, do you not see? And having ears, do you not hear? And do you not remember?

The disciples’ mindset had not changed.  They were still thinking of scarcity rather than producing abundance with a single loaf of bread.  Jesus continues:

19 When I broke the five loaves for the five thousand, how many baskets full of fragments did you take up?” They said to Him, “Twelve.”

20 “Also, when I broke the seven for the four thousand, how many large baskets full of fragments did you take up?” And they said, “Seven.”

21 So He said to them, “How is it you do not understand?”

The world thinks in terms of size and amounts.  Heaven, on the other hand, considers quality, purity, and purpose.  Are we move moved by the million dollar gift than the hundred dollar gift?  Yet Jesus placed Himself next to the offering box and observed people presenting their gifts.

Luke recorded by The Holy Spirit in Luke chapter 21:

1 Jesus observed all the wealthy coming into the temple courts wanting to be noticed as they came with their offerings.

2 He noticed a very poor widow who dropped two small copper coins in the offering box.

3 “Listen to Me,” He said. “This poor widow has given a larger offering than any of the wealthy.

4 For the rich only gave out of their surplus, but she sacrificed out of her poverty and gave to God all that she had to live on.”

Jesus thinks about quality and purity.  The widow is the one who impressed Jesus the most.  Wealthy people will donate large sums of money in order to get their family name on a public building while kids are suffering within a short distance of the building.

Sometimes what you see or can’t see cancels out what little faith you have.  How can five loaves feed five thousand with twelve baskets of fragments being taken up whereas seven loaves feed four thousand and seven baskets of fragments remain?

Jesus provided us with another example of Heavenly increase.

Jesus spoke in John chapter 7:

37 On the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried out, saying, “If anyone thirsts, let him come to Me and drink.

38 He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of Living Water.”

39 But this He spoke concerning the Spirit, whom those believing in Him would receive; for the Holy Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus was not yet glorified.

A drink becomes a river.  When we receive The Holy Spirit, as we surrender to Him, rivers of Living Water will flow from us.  The ministry of The Holy Spirit is vital to our commission of ministering greater works than that of Jesus.  He expects us to manifest His commands and expand the Kingdom of earth as it is in Heaven.

We must focus on quality, purity, and purpose in our walk as we are led by The Holy Spirit.  Do not disregard or despise small beginnings.

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in 1 Corinthians 14:18 NKJV
I thank my God I speak with tongues more than you all;

In the last days, people will fear GOD because of HIS goodness!

Are you prepared for what lies ahead?  There are two prophecies for us to consider:

It was recorded by The Holy Spirit in Hosea chapter 3:

5 Afterward the children of Israel shall return and seek the LORD their God and David their king. They shall fear the LORD and His goodness in the latter days.

And in Jeremiah chapter 33:

9 Then it shall be to Me a Name of joy, a praise, and an honor before all nations of the earth, who shall hear all the good that I do to them; they shall fear and tremble for all the goodness and all the prosperity that I provide for it.‘

What kind of revelation of goodness would cause people to fall to their knees with fear and trembling?  How is it that HE would use HIS goodness to restore the fear of GOD to a planet? 

There is something about the goodness of GOD that when It is seen clearly, it changes our own countenance, and our value system changes from an addiction to the inferior to a determination we will not settle for anything less than the seamless connection with The Spirit of GOD.

Paul recorded by The Holy Spirit in 2^nd Corinthians chapter 3:

7 Even the ministry that was characterized by chiseled letters on stone tablets came with a dazzling measure of glory, though it produced death. The Israelites couldn’t bear to gaze on the glowing face of Moses because of the radiant splendor shining from his countenance—a glory destined to fade away.

8 Yet how much more radiant is this new and glorious ministry of the Spirit that shines from us!

9 For if the former ministry of condemnation was ushered in with a measure of glory, how much more does the ministry that imparts righteousness far excel in glory.

10 What once was glorious no longer holds any glory because of the increasingly greater glory that has replaced it.

11 The fading ministry came with a portion of glory, but now we embrace the unfading ministry of a permanent impartation of glory.

This unfading glory is due to the fact that we were made righteous and innocent by the work of the cross and the grace of THE SPIRIT.  Unlike Moses, we do not need a veil to hide the HIS glory.

The Blood of Jesus qualified us to be a house for the Holy Spirit.  The Blood of Jesus qualified us to host the Presence of THE ALMIGHTY GOD… think about it.

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

16 Do you not know that you are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?

And in chapter 6:

19 Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit Who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own?

20 For you were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s.

What will happen when the Glory of GOD is seen as an outward, radiating expression on you?  The glory that radiated from Moses’ face was not meant to be the high point of human existence; it was meant to be the introduction.

The Glory of THE LORD will become predominant in the coming years and people will respond with fear and trembling.  The Awe of GOD will be fully restored.

We are to reform society to align with The Kingdom of GOD!

As we hear HIS Voice and respond accordingly, we will reform society.  The opinions of men apart from GOD, are inferior and ultimately lead to destruction and servitude.  People disregard what is obvious to those with Wisdom and understanding. 

For example, Artificial Intelligence (AI) is meant to replace critical thinking among students thus reducing their ability to do creative thinking.  Ultimately, they become lazy and of little value to society.  Who will pick up the tab for their unproductive lifestyle?  AI is all about greed, though it may be temporary.

We aree designed to live with purpose and produce good fruit.  We are designed to hear every Word from the Mouth of GOD.

Jesus spoke in Matthew chapter 4:

4 But Jesus answered the adversary and said, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every Word that proceeds from the Mouth of God.'”

As we do, our faith comes forth and our fruitfulness increases.

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Romans chapter 10:

17 So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God.

We are designed to hear!  If you are hard of hearing HIM, something needs to change in your life… FATHER is not silent.  Faith, then, is birthed in a heart that responds to God’s anointed Utterance of the Anointed One.

How can you improve your hearing?  You can start by shutting out the noise of the world.  The more you focus on man’s opinion and worldly entertainment, the harder it is to hear what The Holy Spirit is saying.

It is written by The Holy Spirit in 1^st Kings chapter 19:

11 Then GOD said, “Go out, and stand on the mountain before the LORD.” And behold, the LORD passed by, and a great and strong wind tore into the mountains and broke the rocks in pieces before the LORD, but the LORD was not in the wind; and after the wind an earthquake, but the LORD was not in the earthquake;

12 and after the earthquake a fire, but the LORD was not in the fire; and after the fire a still small Voice.

FATHER was not speaking through a great wind nor an earthquake.  HE spoke in a quieted and gentle Voice.  People want a great and thunderous Voice to speak to them, overtaking the noise of the world.  Elijah got it… and he responded.

13 So it was, when Elijah heard it, that he wrapped his face in his mantle and went out and stood in the entrance of the cave. Suddenly a Voice came to him, and said, “What are you doing here, Elijah?”

14 And he said, “I have been very zealous for the LORD God of hosts; because the children of Israel have forsaken Your covenant, torn down Your altars, and killed Your prophets with the sword. I alone am left; and they seek to take my life.”

15 Then the LORD said to him: “Go, return on your way to the Wilderness of Damascus; and when you arrive, anoint Hazael as king over Syria.

16 Also you shall anoint Jehu the son of Nimshi as king over Israel. And Elisha the son of Shaphat of Abel Meholah you shall anoint as prophet in your place.

17 It shall be that whoever escapes the sword of Hazael, Jehu will kill; and whoever escapes the sword of Jehu, Elisha will kill.

18 Yet I have reserved seven thousand in Israel, all whose knees have not bowed to Baal, and every mouth that has not kissed him.”

Elijah assumed that he was the last to serve GOD, but he was wrong.  FATHER had prepared Elisha to take his place and continue the office of a prophet.

It is recorded by The Holy Spirit in Psalm chapter 46:

10 “Be still and know (recognize, understand) that I am God. I will be exalted among the nations! I will be exalted in the earth.”

In other Words, surrender your anxiety. Be still and realize that I am God. I am God above all the nations, and I am exalted throughout the whole earth.

When we become still and silent, eliminating the noise around us, we are then prepared to hear FATHER’S Voice.  We must not allow ourselves to be anxious.

In the Bible, “anxious” refers to excessive worry, fear, or concern about the future, often stemming from a lack of trust in God’s sovereignty and plan. It can be understood as a spiritual struggle where the heart and mind are consumed by worldly troubles instead of relying on God’s grace. Scripture encourages believers to overcome anxiety by casting their cares on God and trusting in His provision and peace, rather than succumbing to fear and uncertainty.

Be still and be at peace… then your hearing will improve.

Arise and shine, our light grows brighter as the Glory of THE LORD is risen upon you!

Let us constantly set our hope IN CHRIST and not on things of the world.

It is written by The Holy Spirit in Isaiah chapter 60:

4 “Lift up your eyes all around, and see: They all gather together, they come to you; Your sons shall come from afar, And your daughters shall be nursed at your side.

5 Then you shall see and become radiant, And your heart shall swell with joy; Because the abundance of the sea (of humanity) shall be turned to you, The wealth of the Gentiles shall come to you.

This wealth includes: armies, virtues, strength, might, power, riches, and/or goods.  FATHER will see to it that you have sufficiency in every area required for your individual calling to be fulfilled.  In some cases, it has already begun.  Be not dismayed if you have yet to see the manifestation.  Don’t be discouraged.

The real wealth is people!  They will be led by The Holy Spirit to provide resources to further The Kingdom.  Focus on people, not things.

When our heart swells with joy, it will tremble and be enlarged.  There is a connection between trembling of the Fear of THE LORD and extreme joy.  In the Kingdom, they are very closely related.

It is written by The Holy Spirit in Psalm 2:

11 Serve the LORD with fear, And rejoice with trembling.

In other Words, serve and worship the Awe-inspiring God. Recognize His greatness and bow before Him, trembling with reverence in His Presence.

When FATHER is talking about the abundance of the sea, HE is referring to the harvest.

We are to take our place and shine.  We know how to take our place… how do we shine?

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

4 A fountain of Life was in him (Jesus), for His Life is light for all humanity.

5 And this Light never fails to shine through darkness—Light that darkness could not overcome!

Jesus IS the Light, there is not another light coming.  We have no excuse to wait for something else to happen.  HIS Light is meant to be manifested in us!  When you arise in the Glory that THE LORD has placed in your life, it attracts the Glory of THE LORD where it will actually be seen over you. 

Anything in the Kingdom that is stewarded well, increases.  To him who has, much more will be given.

Jesus spoke this encompassing Truth in Matthew chapter 13:

10 And the disciples came and said to Him, “Why do You speak to them in parables?”

11 He answered and said to them, “Because it has been given to you to know the mysteries of the Kingdom of Heaven, but to them it has not been given.

12 For whoever has, to him more will be given, and he will have abundance; but whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him.

The opposite is true.  If you treasure things that are wrong, it will attract as well.  If you don’t have a standard of morality, immoral things will attract you.  Like attracts like!  Be watchful in this regard.

Jesus spoke in Mark chapter 4:

24 Then He said to them, “Take heed what you hear. With the same measure you use, it will be measured to you; and to you who hear, more will be given.

We must guard our hearing and not allow unwanted words or actions to be attracted to us.  Again, if you are bitter, you will attract and reinforce more bitterness.  Whatever you treasure, you attract!

As we seek His Light, His Light will arise over us and His Glory will be seen upon us.

Expect a greater light than the darkness coming upon the earth!

Do you think that FATHER is unaware of the plots of evil men around the globe?  Do you think that the deep state will prevail over mankind?

It is recorded by The Holy Spirit in Psalm chapter 2:

1 Why do the nations rage, And the people plot a vain thing?

2 The kings of the earth set themselves, And the rulers take counsel together, Against the LORD and against His Anointed, saying,

3 “Let us break Their bonds in pieces And cast away Their cords from us.”

4 He Who sits in the heavens shall laugh; The Lord shall hold them in derision.

5 Then He shall speak to them in His wrath, And distress them in His deep displeasure:

Men can plot and devise wickedness all day long but, in the end, it will be to no avail.  They will attempt to cause fear among the multitudes so that they will submit to their plans.  We are instructed over 365 times in Scripture: Fear not!

7 Jesus then speaks:

“I will reveal the Eternal purpose of God. For He 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.

9 And You will shepherd them with unlimited authority, crushing their rebellion as an iron rod smashes jars of clay!’ ”

Now, the warning comes forth:

10 The Holy Spirit speaks:

 “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.

12 Fall facedown before Him and kiss the Son before His anger is roused against you. Remember that His wrath can be quickly kindled! But many blessings are waiting for all who turn aside to hide themselves In Him!”

Those of us who walk in the Fear of THE LORD will be blessed as we establish the Kingdom of GOD in the earth.  FATHER has committed to give Jesus the nations of the earth and that is an irrevocable commitment.  As Sons and Daughters, we too have this commitment to rely on as we walk out our individual callings.

It is written by The Holy Spirit in Isaiah chapter 60:

1 “Rise up in splendor and be radiant, for your light has dawned, and YAHWEH’s glory now streams from you!

2 Look carefully! Darkness blankets the earth, and thick clouds covers the nations, but YAHWEH arises upon you and the brightness of His glory appears over you!

3 Nations will be attracted to your radiant light and kings to the sunrise-glory of your new day.

4 “Lift up your eyes all around, and see: They all gather together, they come to you; Your sons shall come from afar, And your daughters shall be nursed at your side.

Are you ready to walk in such light and splendor?  The darkness that is spreading across the earth will not prevail because the Glory of THE LORD will counter the darkness and prevail.  HIS anointing will immerse us so that men will be attracted to the Light and seek HIS Presence.

Jesus spoke in John chapter 4:

35 Do you not say, ‘There are still four months and then comes the harvest’? Behold, I say to you, lift up your eyes and look at the fields, for they are already white for harvest!

36 And he who reaps receives wages, and gathers fruit for Eternal life, that both he who sows and he who reaps may rejoice together.

37 For in this the saying is true: ‘One sows and another reaps.’

38 I sent you to reap that for which you have not labored; others have labored, and you have entered into their labors.”

A great harvest is at hand.  Those of us who are pressing in will be rewarded with our participation of this event.  We are not moved by the kings who plot against GOD’S plan for they will not prevail.  Our light will overtake their darkness!

Repentance is a way of Life!

Repentance is engaging with the Mind of Christ; it’s embracing His thoughts, His values, His perception, and learning how to walk in that frame of mind.  It is that frame of mind that positions me to obey with great victory and great impact.

Our lives are no more transformed than is our mind renewed.

The measuring rod of personal transformation is the transformation of the mind.

Many churches have relegated their Sunday morning message to a 30-minute message designed to deliver only the milk of The Word… the pastors have become milkmen. 

It is written by The Holy Spirit in Hebrews chapter 5:

12 For though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you again the first principles of the oracles of God; and you have come to need milk and not solid food.

13 For everyone who partakes only of milk is unskilled in the Word of righteousness, for he is a babe.

14 But solid food belongs to those who are of full age, that is, those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.

What was Jesus’ mindset in teaching The Word?

Matthew recorded by The Holy Spirit in Matthew chapter 15:

32 Jesus called His disciples to Himself and said, “I care deeply about all these people, for they’ve already been with Me for three days without food. I don’t want to send them away fasting or else they may be overcome by weakness on their journey home.”

That is what I call a camp meeting!

Repentance introduces you to the Mind of Christ.  Repentance places you in the flow of His thinking, His perceptions.  His value system is completely different than ours.  This is why we must focus on being transformed to His way of thinking by the renewing of our minds by both reading The Word and hearing FATHER speak so that we can see from His perspective. 

Every miracle introduces us to the reality of an unseen world.

It is written by The Holy Spirit in Hebrews chapter 11:

1 Now faith brings our hopes into reality and becomes the foundation needed to acquire the things we long for. It is all the evidence required to prove what is still unseen.

And Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in 2^nd Corinthians chapter 4:

16 Therefore we do not lose heart. Even though our outward man is perishing, yet the inward man is being renewed day by day.

17 For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, is working for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory,

18 while we do not look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporary, but the things which are not seen are Eternal.

Until the unseen world is more real than the temporary, seen world in your mindset, you will limit your spiritual maturity.  We need to be more spiritually mature than a donkey.

Moses recorded by THE SPIRIT in Numbers chapter 22:

22 Then God’s anger was aroused because he went, and the Angel of the LORD took His stand in the way as an adversary against him. And he was riding on his donkey, and his two servants were with him.

23 Now the donkey saw the Angel of the LORD standing in the way with His drawn sword in His hand, and the donkey turned aside out of the way and went into the field. So Balaam struck the donkey to turn her back onto the road.

25 And when the donkey saw the Angel of the LORD, she pushed herself against the wall and crushed Balaam’s foot against the wall; so he struck her again.

27 And when the donkey saw the Angel of the LORD, she lay down under Balaam; so Balaam’s anger was aroused, and he struck the donkey with his staff.

When is the last time you had a conversation with an Ass (KJV)?

28 Then the LORD opened the mouth of the donkey, and she said to Balaam, “What have I done to you, that you have struck me these three times?”

29 And Balaam said to the donkey, “Because you have abused me. I wish there were a sword in my hand, for now I would kill you!”

30 So the donkey said to Balaam, “Am I not your donkey on which you have ridden, ever since I became yours, to this day? Was I ever disposed to do this to you?” And he said, “No.”

31 Then the LORD opened Balaam’s eyes, and he saw the Angel of the LORD standing in the way with His drawn sword in His hand; and he bowed his head and fell flat on his face.

34 And Balaam said to the Angel of the LORD, “I have sinned, for I did not know You stood in the way against me. Now therefore, if it displeases You, I will turn back.”

35 Then the Angel of the LORD said to Balaam, “Go with the men, but only the Word that I speak to you, that you shall speak.” So Balaam went with the princes of Balak.

There is a lesson to be learned!

Jesus came to show us our potential and capacity to live Life more abundantly, the zōē Life!

Jesus came to display life on another, higher level; He came to display zōē Life.  He came to bring Heaven to earth.

As I wrote yesterday, He confirmed this Truth as He spoke in John chapter 10:

10 The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have Life (zōē), and that they may have it more abundantly.

In other Words, Jesus came to give us everything in abundance, more than we expect—Life (zōē) in its fullness until we overflow!

What is zōē Life? It is the absolute fulness of life, both essential and ethical, which belongs to God; it is the GOD-kind of Life, Life as GOD has it.  This life in us is on a higher level and a higher dimension than what the world walks in.

We must keep zōē Life in our consciousness at all times.  Jesus prophesied that this zōē Life was to be available to all who accepted Him as their Lord and Savior. 

Jesus spoke in John chapter 7:

38 He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of Living Water.”

39 Jesus was prophesying about the Holy Spirit that believers were being prepared to receive. But the Holy Spirit had not yet been poured out upon them, because Jesus had not yet been unveiled in his full splendor (glorified).

You and I are intended to walk in a higher dimension of Life on a daily basis.  Don’t accept anything less.

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Ephesians chapter 4:

30 And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by Whom you were sealed for the day of redemption.

We have been marked with a Seal, and the demons are fully aware of It.  They want to keep us focused on walking in the lower dimension, at the worldly level.  They know that as we ascend and take our place seated with Christ, we will walk in power and authority in the Name of Jesus.  Then, they will be cast out to dry places.

Christ’s resurrection changed your condition, your identity.  It shifted you into another dimension that had been unattainable before. 

Paul expressed this Truth as he wrote by The Holy Spirit in 2^nd Corinthians chapter 5:

17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.

You now have a Spiritual identity different from before.  Jesus explained this Truth to Nicodemus as He spoke in John chapter 3:

1 Now there was a prominent religious leader among the Jews named Nicodemus, who was part of the sect called the Pharisees.

2 One night he discreetly came to Jesus and said, “Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher come from God, for no one performs the miracle signs that You do, unless God’s power is with Him.”

3 Jesus answered, “Nicodemus, listen to this Eternal Truth: Before a person can even perceive God’s Kingdom, they must first experience a rebirth.”

This rebirth is just the beginning.

4 Nicodemus said, “Rebirth? How can a gray-headed man be reborn? It’s impossible for anyone to go back into the womb a second time and be reborn!”

5 Jesus answered, “I speak an Eternal Truth: Unless you are born of water and the Spirit, you will never enter God’s Kingdom.

6 For the natural realm only gives birth to things that are natural, but the Spiritual realm gives birth to Supernatural zōē Life!

7 “You shouldn’t be amazed by my statement, ‘You all must be born from above!’ 8 For the Spirit-Wind blows as it chooses. You can hear its sound, but you don’t know where it came from or where it’s going. So it is the same with those who are Spirit-born!”

You and I have been given the opportunity to walk in His power and authority; He has given us the potential and capacity! However, each of us chooses what dimension we will walk in.  Your Spiritual maturity is the deciding factor.

When a curse is decreed, we are to reverse and renounce the curse with a blessing!

As believers, we are to decree blessings as THE LORD directs.

And the letters were sent by couriers into all the king’s provinces, to destroy, to kill, and to annihilate all the Jews, both young and old, little children and women, in one day, on the thirteenth day of the twelfth month, which is the month of Adar, and to plunder their possessions.
