Each of us must look at our response to situations that arise in our life on a daily basis.  This response is not usually spoken to anyone else but is contained in thoughts that come forth when something negative happens.  We must be honest with ourselves in order to change.  We must be teachable and a review of our first thoughts, for they provide us with a marker of our growth.  Let me explain.  When you hear news of someone you know experiencing a trial, how do you respond?  Are you glad or sad?  If you are glad, your ego has just exalted itself by demeaning another.  Being exalted can occur in two different ways.  You can lift up yourself by some prideful action or, you can drag someone else down below your particular place in life.  Either way, your ego has just stroked itself.  It is often subtle.

Manipulation is a lie.  It cleverly attempts to control and influence another person with an illusion in order to make the other person believe a lie, often through fear or greed.  It is meant to gain by deception.  In business, we are taught to negotiate.  However, negotiation is manipulation, and manipulation is not of Our Heavenly Father.  Negotiation attempts to exalt “self” at the expense of another.  Revelation, on the other hand, provides a fair basis for a transaction to occur based on Truth.

The current system is based on self-preservation.  This system will toss anyone under the bus that gets in its way.  This system is based on scarcity.  This system is based on force which consumes a tremendous amount of energy.  Our Heavenly Father’s Kingdom is based on the Laws of Attraction.  Men are drawn or attracted to HIM.  Until HIS Kingdom comes on earth as it is in Heaven, we must be vigilant in our personal lives about “preserving self”.  We may be able to fool others by an illusion of righteousness, but our thoughts must come into subjection as well.  The inward man is where the battle rages on.  We must die to “self”.  We must no longer live the lie if we are to mature in our calling.  Continuous monitoring and examination of our thoughts provide us with that status of our growth.

Galatians 6:1  Brethren, if a man is overtaken in any trespass, you who are spiritual restore such a one in a spirit of gentleness, considering yourself lest you also be tempted.

2  Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.

3  For if anyone thinks himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceives himself.

4  But let each one examine his own work, and then he will have rejoicing in himself alone, and not in another.

5  For each one shall bear his own load.

Hebrews 3:7 Therefore, as the Holy Spirit says:

​​​“Today, if you will hear His voice,

8 ​​Do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion,

​​In the day of trial in the wilderness,

9 ​​Where your fathers tested Me, tried Me,

​​And saw My works forty years.

10 ​​Therefore I was angry with that generation,

​​And said, ‘They always go astray in their heart,

​​And they have not known My ways.’

11 ​​So I swore in My wrath,

​‘​They shall not enter My rest.’ ”

​12 Beware, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief in departing from the living God; 13 but exhort one another daily, while it is called “Today,” lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin. 14 For we have become partakers of Christ if we hold the beginning of our confidence steadfast to the end, 15 while it is said:

​​​“Today, if you will hear His voice,

​​Do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion.”

The Children of Israel could not enter the Promise Land at the appointed time during the Passover Age.  We are able to see their shortcoming: hardness of heart.  They knew HIS acts but did not know HIS ways.  They lacked an understanding of Love.  Fast forward to the Pentecostal Age.  Once again, we see mostly failure on the part of the leadership of the church, the people as well.  They did not understand what it took to enter into HIS rest.  They reasoned away revelation into tradition.  They looked for formulas to insure success.  They built bigger buildings and other infrastructure but the world has simply increased in lawlessness during this period.  They too lacked understanding to enter into HIS rest.  Now is the time to “hear HIS Voice”.  To know HIS ways, you must know HIS character.  To know HIS character, you must understand and embrace Love.  Love has been the missing ingredient of the past failures.  The church focused on about every other aspect of Scripture except Love.  Love demands you die to self preservation.  Love demands you die to your flesh and be willing to serve others.  How can you be faithful to HIM if you don’t have the revelation of Love and walk in that revelation?  How can you serve someone whose most primary motivation is unknown to you?  To be fully faithful in your walk, you MUST get the revelation of Love.  You must purpose each and every day to walk in it.  Your flesh will try to rebel.  Your mind will try to reason away from this walk.  You must put both into subjection.  Your mind and your body are to serve you in your calling.  Be faithful to pursue the revelation of Love and you will enter into HIS rest.

On Sunday in our live broadcast of our weekly Bible study, we discussed “hardness of the heart”.  Let’s review.  In Mark 6, Jesus fed the five thousand men (besides women and children) with loaves and fishes, a display of His command over GOD particles.  Immediately He made His disciples get into the boat and go before Him to the other side, to Bethsaida, while He sent the multitude away. And when He had sent them away, He departed to the mountain to pray.

I would suggest to you that Jesus was accessing “Divine Intent” of Our Heavenly Father.  He had understanding of the Non-Quantum aspects of Elohim and was receiving instruction.  The Divine Intent is Love-based and cannot be affected by the Quantum realm where work is done.  The Divine Intent precedes work or action.  Jesus told us He only did according to what He heard from His Father.  Once He finished praying on the mountain, He is then seen walking on the water.  The waves and wind were great, an indication of resistance in the quantum realm to Divine Intent.  Dr. Speckhart would refer to this being an aspect of “anti-particles”.

As many of us know, the disciples saw Jesus walking on the water.  Peter temporarily walked on the water with Jesus until fear entered in.  For a few moments, Peter had command of GOD particles as well.  From the boat, Peter called out to Jesus “Lord, if it is You, command me to come to You on the water.”  So He said, “Come.”  Jesus spoke one word, Peter heard and responded to the one word, and then his faith was sufficient to temporarily walk on water.

A key point is both Jesus and Peter walked on water.  Command of GOD particles is not waiting for some future event to take place but is lawfully accessible now.  We tend to delay responsibility and accountability to a future event.  Now is the time.  Today is the day.  In the Gospel of Mark, we are given the reason for the disciples’ amazement of Jesus walking on the water.  After all, they had just seen Him multiply loaves and fishes to feed the multitudes.  What was the problem?

Mark 6:51 Then He went up into the boat to them, and the wind ceased. And they were greatly amazed in themselves beyond measure, and marveled. 52 For they had not understood about the loaves, because their heart was hardened (G4456).

Strong’s G4456 – pōroō

1. to cover with a thick skin, to harden by covering with a callus

2. metaph.

1. to make the heart dull

2. to grow hard, callous, become dull, lose the power of understanding

This word and usage would denote that they had lost understanding, they had become dull of hearing.  Let us not fall prey to the loss of understanding.  Let us continue in Love, faith, and hope that Paul spoke of in Thessalonians 1: “remembering without ceasing your work of faith, labor of love, and patience of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ in the sight of our God and Father”.

We must labor in Love to enter into HIS rest for we have a promise of “Rest”.  In Psalm 95, the revelation of Rest is mentioned:

9  “Do not harden your hearts, as in the rebellion, ​​As in the day of trial in the wilderness,

When your fathers tested Me;

​​They tried Me, though they saw My work.

10  ​​For forty years I was grieved with that generation,

​​And said, ‘It is a people who go astray in their hearts,

​​And they do not know My ways.’

11 ​​ So I swore in My wrath,

​‘​They shall not enter My rest.’ ”

We must not become dull of hearing and understanding as the children of Israel in the Wilderness.  We must have ears to hear and not allow our understanding to become “dull”.  We must allow Wisdom from Above to correct us and adjust our walk accordingly.  Let’s face it, our reasoning cannot get us to the point of walking on water.  We must be able to hear and understand.  We must be able to access the Divine Intent of Our Heavenly Father’s heart.  Love is in the center of HIS heart.  If we purpose to walk in Love, we will soon be found worthy of accessing the Divine Intent.  HE will not give access to a worldly and lawless group of people who would use the power to consume it on their lusts.  Wisdom realizes there is a door.  The key to the door is Love.  Understanding knows where to place the key to unlock the door.  Faith turns the key.  Hope pulls the knob.  Lawfulness allows entry past the threshold.

Hebrews 4:8  For if Joshua had given them rest, then He would not afterward have spoken of another day. 9  There remains therefore a rest for the people of God. 10  For he who has entered His rest has himself also ceased from his works as God did from His.

The Non-Quantum correlates to “Rest”.  Divine Intent has no resistance or work associated with it.  When we are able to access the Non-Quantum, resistance will depart, chaos will depart, abnormality will depart.  Healing, restoration, and blessing occur when the resistance is removed.  Multiplication of loaves, walking on water, healing the sick should become commonplace as we labor in Love to enter into HIS rest:

Hebrews 4:11 Let us therefore be diligent to enter that rest, lest anyone fall according to the same example of disobedience.

Remember: “Through wisdom a house is built, And by understanding it is established.”  Let our hearts not become hardened.
