2 Corinthians 13:11  Finally, brethren, farewell. Be perfect, be of good comfort, be of one mind, live in peace; and the God of love and peace shall be with you. (NKJV)

The world today needs Love.  Once Love becomes the foundation of a relationship, unity will come.  Love promotes cohesiveness between two people.  Neither is attempting to force his or her agenda on the other.  Instead, they walk in communion with each other.  They can enjoy the fellowship that is realized when there is no hidden agenda to guard against.  Each seeks to be a pleasure to the other.  Peace is a fruit of the relationship.

As you pursue this walk of unity, the GOD of Love and peace will be with you.  What better companion to have than Our Heavenly Father lovingly directing your path.  Each and every apparent delay is designed to insure your safety from some harmful event.  Each course correction is to guide you into greater unity.  Each test and trial are to promote strength and stamina in your Love walk.  No longer will those cares of the world, lusts, or deceitfulness of riches cause you to grow cold in your Love.  Instead, fruit will abound to your account.

The walls of division must come down.  It will only occur by the revelation of Love and walking out that revelation day by day.  Love will no longer be a distant memory or some past study, but the revelation will become an integral aspect of your life.  Love provides meaning to life.  Depression cannot exist in the midst of Love.  Purpose is a fruit of Love.  As you walk in Love, your specific and unique purpose will draw you into its fullness.  Then will your piece to the puzzle be placed into the magnificent picture of life.  What great satisfaction occurs when the puzzle is completed!

Philippians 4:7   and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.  (NKJV)

If there is anything this world needs now is peace.  The war drums are once again beating, the world’s reserve currency is on its last leg, and lawlessness abounds.  Our Heavenly Father in HIS Wisdom has kept a remnant safe and it has continued in its maturing process.  The movie “Noah” is soon to be released.  Most often we focus on the eight righteous souls aboard the ark.  What about the entire population who drowned?  What were they thinking just prior to the flood?  All is well in their sin and debauchery, their perversions, their lawlessness.  Noah spent years being ridiculed by the locals.  A massive boat in the middle of a land mass?  It is no different now.

A recent missing commercial jet brought to light the expectation of technology.  How could the plane be lost with all our technology?  Man’s “tower of babylon” does not reach to the understanding found in Heaven.  Men’s eyes are blinded to the reality that is set before them.  Gold has been a store of value for thousands of years.  Why?  Because man cannot manipulate its primary characteristics thus the store of value is above man’s persuasions.  That is not true with the current monetary system.  100 years ago, the U.S. Dollar became the world’s reserve currency in order to promote trade.  It was backed by gold.  Little by little, central planners diluted the relationship between gold (along with silver) and currencies.  Now there is no currency backed by gold.  Value is being lost every day in our savings accounts.  The only way to retain true value is to put cash into a physical asset.  The Chinese and Russians understand the state of the reserve currency.  They also understand that the West is now in a weak economic state.  They will no longer be bullied.

The coming turmoil will challenge your peace and understanding.  If there is any time in your life you need to guard your heart and mind, it is now.  Press in, be anxious for nothing.  Let your requests be made known in your petitions to Our Heavenly Father.  What are you asking for?  It should be for wisdom and understanding first.  We need revelation from Above in order to navigate through the economic troubled waters ahead.  We should be developing relationships with like-minded believers who place Love above all else.  Why?  Love covers a multitude of issues and will serve the weaker.  By the way, you may be the weaker one in the relationship.  Wouldn’t you want the other person “watching your back”?  It is time to come into unity and quit being an “isolationist”.  It is time to rally around the Love of Our Heavenly Father and become a fruitful participant in HIS Kingdom.  It is great to be constantly studying and maturing.  But at some point, you should be producing something for others to “eat”.  Deposit life into others.  Make a difference to someone.  Give into their lives.  Are you broke?  No problem, plant kind words in others.  Look for some way to do a kind act for them.  Not everything requires money.  As you do these acts, people will begin to see Jesus in you.  And when they see Jesus, they are really seeing Our Heavenly Father.  Smile!  It is peaceful in Heaven.  That is where our citizenship resides.

The biggest obstacle to maturing as a Son of GOD is your resistance to change.  If that statement offends, then you have admitted to be resistant in a subtle fashion.  Your ego is your “false” reality.  It would convince you that there is no need to change.  Are you claiming to be perfected?  If so, look at your fruit.  Are you a servant to all?  If not, you are still in the process of maturing.  Pride would have you believe there is no need to change, that your inheritance is preordained and there is nothing for you to do except continue living as you have been for years.

Are you sick or do you have chronic ailments?  If so, you are living a “separated” life from Our Heavenly Father to some degree.  Can sickness or disease exist in HIS Presence?  If you have any weakness in your life, you are “void” of HIS Word in that area.  In 1984, I had been living in Divine health for some time… years.  Suddenly I contracted hepatitis from some shrimp I ate in the NY area.  I was upset at Our Heavenly Father.  Of course, I received a corrective interview from HIM.  HE said “You are void of My Word!”  What?  I studied the Scripture, read related books, listened to audio messages, watched Christian TV, etc.  HE said, “When was the last time you studied, dwelled, and meditated on healing Scriptures?”   It had been quite some time.  I was void of HIS Word in that area.  I repented and “studied, dwelled, and meditated” on healing Scriptures.  The eight week estimated recovery (assuming I did not die since it was the worst case the clinic had ever seen) was shortened to eleven days.  I learned my lesson, yellow skin and all.

My primary message to you is to embrace the revelation of Love.  It is my own primary focus as well, I probably need it more than you all!  If you continue to be resistant to Love and its fullness, you will probably continue to deal with chronic issues, health and otherwise.  Think about it.

These are the days of volatility and one never knows from week to week what will happen in the markets.  The economic statistics being generated are no longer reflecting truth but instead are projecting the illusion the central planners want us all to buy into.  True unemployment is at 23%.  Gee, I made $5 on my saving account last year.  Inflation reduced the purchasing power of that account by $500.  Uggh!

I was sent a link to an exhaustive report on the 9/11 tragedy.  It went into great detail of all the players that conspired to cause the event and the nefarious motives of men to cover up their covert operations against Russia.  I felt it necessary to get through the report only to find that in the end, Love is the only answer to solve the perpetual problem of evil in this world.  The lawlessness continues as the saints are being matured.  It will continue until the harvest is ripe.  Only then will the tares be bundled up and burned in the fiery Law.

The talking heads on TV are beating the war drums.  The hypocrites are telling us what we ought to do to other hypocrites.  Who are we to believe?  Only Our Heavenly Father knows the hearts of men and HE will reveal them once the Remnant is prepared to shine the light on the lawlessness that plagues the earth.  The Truth will be as a pillar of fire to those who try to hide from its light.  It will consume their devious intent and illusions.

What can you and I do as the heathen rage?  Proceed on the path of maturity of walking in Love.  Walk in the two commandments that Jesus told us that would fulfill the Law.  Love conquers all and in the end, it will prevail.

None of us are unique in the challenges we face for Jesus was in all points tempted as we are, yet without sin:

Hebrews 4:14 Seeing then that we have a great High Priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession. 15 For we do not have a High Priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but was in all points tempted as we are, yet without sin. (NKJV)

Our ego would have us believe that no one else has to deal with the same issues and that we have been singled out to endure such hardships.  Actually, it is fortunate for us that Jesus was tempted in all points.  This enabled Him to be the perfect sacrifice without one blemish.  Thus His blood covered us all.

By necessity, He had to be born as a baby and go through maturity just like you and me.  He could not bypass the growing process.  He had to be lawful in setting the standard as a Son of GOD.  There were no shortcuts for Him and there are no shortcuts for us.  Don’t expect some miracle to deliver you from your passive immaturity to the “spiritual” giant level.  You must mature just as was required of Jesus.  I will let you in on a little secret- I write these blogs as much for me as for you.  When I get up in the morning, I seek HIS Face for a topic of the day.  HE gladly provides it.  In obedience, I write it.  Little by little, I increase in maturity right along side of you.  It is well established that the maturing process requires time and nourishment.  HE wants “full custody”, not weekend visits only (as a local church marquee says).

Hebrews 5:

5 So also Christ did not glorify Himself to become High Priest, but it was He who said to Him:

​​​“You are My Son,

​​Today I have begotten You.”  (Psalm 2:7”")

​6 As He also says in another place:

​​​“You are a priest forever

​​According to the order of Melchizedek”; (Psalm 110:4)

Our Heavenly Father is the One who testifies of your purpose and calling.  We can’t muster up some newly found interest and expect HIM to anoint it.  We must seek HIS Face and have our calling be revealed to us.  Some want a glorious calling as suggested by their ego.  HE will not align your purpose with your ego.  Instead, HE will bring you to the point where you are willing to place your ego on the altar to be burned up.  You must come to the end of your “self”.

7 who, in the days of His flesh, when He had offered up prayers and supplications, with vehement cries and tears to Him who was able to save Him from death, and was heard because of His godly fear.

Jesus offered up prayers and supplications.  A supplication is where a person makes a humble plea to someone in power or authority.  Jesus acknowledged that it was in Our Heavenly Father’s sole power and authority to determine His future.  He sought, asked, and entreated Our Heavenly Father to save Him from death.  Our natural man would have expected Jesus to be delivered and freed from the cross experience.  But it was through the cross that He was saved from death and eternal life was achieved.  Thankfully, Jesus did not rely on earthly wisdom.

It is important to note that Jesus was heard because of His Godly fear.  Jesus had the full revelation of:

Psalm 111:10 

The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom;
A good understanding have all those who do His commandments.
His praise endures forever.

Thus Jesus attained the fullness of His calling by gaining wisdom from Above, but only through the revelation of the “fear of THE LORD”.  That is the pattern we must follow as joint-heirs.

Hebrews 5:8 though He was a Son, yet He learned obedience by the things which He suffered. 9 And having been perfected, He became the author of eternal salvation to all who obey Him,

Perfection is achieved through “suffering”, not to punish us, but for us to learn to subdue the flesh.  When we are immature, we feed our flesh.  When we are fully mature, we deny the flesh.  Do you have a perspective of where you are at in the process?  The bond of perfection is Love.  Your Love walk is an excellent barometer of your progress.
