Update on Assistance

Sunday, January 31st, 2016

We have received and sent nearly $1,000 to assist Rick.  Thank you for your response.

Gather, Not Scatter

Sunday, January 31st, 2016

In Luke chapter 11, Jesus had cast a demon, it was mute, and then the person began to speak.  Some of them said, “He casts out demons by Beelzebub, the ruler of the demons.”  Jesus quickly responded to them that a house divided against itself will fall and then He said:

20 But if I cast out demons with the finger of God, surely the kingdom of God has come upon you.

21 When a strong man, fully armed, guards his own palace, his goods are in peace.

22 But when a stronger than he comes upon him and overcomes him, he takes from him all his armor in which he trusted, and divides his spoils.

23 He who is not with Me is against Me, and he who does not gather with Me scatters.

When faith works by Love, demons will be cast out of those whom they plague for none should be kept in bondage any longer.  We need to rise up to the Great Commission and expect FATHER to fully empower us over all sickness, disease, demons, and any other hindrance to gathering souls for the Kingdom.  We should not focus on just one aspect of gathering but be balanced in our walk according to the needs of those we engage.

Not everybody has a demon so we shouldn’t look for one around every corner.  On the other hand we must not negate that fact that demons are still active and attempting to initiate division among the saints.  FATHER is pleased and willing to show us which situation we are in and how to deal with it as we are able to hear HIS Voice.  By their nature demons are deceptive, manipulative, and persistent yet they are powerless against the Blood of Christ.

As we are led by the Holy Spirit we will be challenged by those who oppose the Kingdom.  We must not be intimidated by them for FATHER will deal with them accordingly.  In Matthew chapter 12 where the above account of the deaf mute being ministered to by Jesus is found, Jesus went on to say:

31 “Therefore I say to you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven men, but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven men.

32 Anyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man, it will be forgiven him; but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit, it will not be forgiven him, either in this age or in the age to come.”

Blasphemy means:

  1. slander, detraction, speech injurious, to another’s good name

  2. impious and reproachful speech injurious to divine majesty

As we are fully led by HIS SPIRIT, FATHER will deal with those who are in opposition with whatever corrective action is needful.  I have seen several instances of this in the past where those in opposition were removed from the situation.  Let us be mindful of the brevity and Holiness of walking by HIS SPIRIT.  We are called to establish HIS Kingdom by bringing in souls which in turn increases the Kingdom on earth.  Let none of our actions scatter or divide.

There is no demon more powerful than Jesus or those who are walking in the full maturity of Love and are indeed Sons as well.  In John 14 Jesus spoke:

12 “Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father.

13 And whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.

14 If you ask anything in My name, I will do it.”

Jesus said it so you should expect it.  Jettison that unbelief and allow great faith to prevail in your life operating by Love.  Consider all the great miracles of healing He did and know that He said we should walk out even greater works.  He only spoke what FATHER expressed to Him thus these words come from the Throne Room to us.  Embrace these words and you will be in the gathering business.

From Our Beloved Sister

Saturday, January 30th, 2016

Jan 30, 2016   7:00 am

As I woke this morning, Father said, "A trumpet has sounded to call together the leaders-those who will hear.

Pray before me. Stay close."

The law of the trumpets is in Numbers 10:4.

FATHER is notifying us

Saturday, January 30th, 2016

====================================================================

A beloved sister shared the following:

Jan. 27, 2016

Donald Trump is used of God. When I grumbled about his irritating way, Father said, "Remember his name. He is a trumpet." I can’t remember whether He said a trumpet or the trumpet.

Jan. 28, 2016

I was washing dishes when He said, "The trumpet shall sound and the dead in Christ shall rise first."

Jan. 29, 2016  4:00 am

The many quotation marks indicate pauses as Father spoke to me.

Father had me wake up to read Amos 5-9. Then He spoke to me, "Weep for my people, weep. For the casting out shall begin and I will cleanse

My Kingdom."

"My trump card is played." 

"You shall rise up on eagles wings, you who love the Lord." 

"Fear not, you are Mine, you who hear my Voice."

"You have sought Me and you have found Me." 

"See what I will do. Watch." 

"Yes, you know what the final end shall be. Rest."

I said, "Glory to the Lord, glory, and He said, "Now."

====================================================================

In the last 90 days we were given this Word:

Amos 9:13

“Behold, the days are coming,” says the LORD,
“When the plowman shall overtake the reaper,
And the treader of grapes him who sows seed;
The mountains shall drip with sweet wine,
And all the hills shall flow with it.”

Fulfilling FATHER’S Intent

Friday, January 29th, 2016

Jesus is the expression of Our Heavenly Father and FATHER has called us also to be HIS expression on earth.  In Matthew 8:

16 When evening had come, they brought to Him many who were demon-possessed. And He cast out the spirits with a word, and healed all who were sick,

17 that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Isaiah the prophet, saying:

​​​“He Himself took our infirmities

​​And bore our sicknesses.”

Were there more demon-possessed people in those times than there are today?  I think not.  It is clear for all to see there are more sick today than ever before so I must expect FATHER will empower those with pure hearts to fulfill the great commission of Mark 16:

15 And He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature.

16 He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned.

17 And these signs will follow those who believe: In My name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues;

18 they will take up serpents; and if they drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.”

Jesus fulfilled Isaiah’s prophecy given in Isaiah 53:4 and we are to fulfill Jesus’ commission given above.  Both commands were give by FATHER to express HIS Love and will for mankind.  Every creature means every thing created by FATHER and nothing is left out.  There are those of us who will embrace this commission, some will focus on certain portions, and the rest will go about their business as usual.  I can attest to you that when you fully embrace FATHER’S Word, you are never disappointed.  On the contrary, your life will become rich with the fruit of THE SPIRIT.

Years ago we had a pesky demon show up in the house we bought.  Our two year-old son would see it down the hall beyond the room to our bedroom where it stopped without coming closer.  He called it a “black man in the hall” and this went on for several nights.  After receiving some wise counsel we prayed through our house including every closet and proclaimed the Blood of Jesus Christ over our entire household.  The demon departed and two angels appeared to our son giving him peace that night and we had no more issues.  That was 38 years ago.

Our mandate has not changed since Jesus spoke it in Mark 16, (Matt. 28:16–20; Luke 24:44–49; Acts 1:6–8 ).  The sick are still out there, the demons are still around, and the lost still need saved.  FATHER’S Love remains steadfast and the whole world will be redeemed.  Let our focus be on HIS priorities and not the world’s.

Bearing Witness of FATHER

Thursday, January 28th, 2016

When you bear witness of what FATHER is bringing forth, you have obtained a good report or testimony.  In Hebrews chapter 11:

1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

2 For by it the elders obtained a good testimony.

We are called to be witnesses of FATHER to all the world and thus we must expect the supernatural to operate in our lives as being evidence of HIS Power imparted on the earth.  In order to please HIM we must walk in faith in HIS Word rather that walk in faith in the world’s systems.  We all have faith in something thus the only question is whether our faith is in man or FATHER.  The world wants to convince us that there are incurable diseases since they have no idea of how to treat them.  On the other hand, FATHER can heal and restore anyone with any sickness or disease.

In Abraham’s case, he was impotent and Sarah was barren and both were old.  The odds of having a child were virtually zero in the world’s eyes.  FATHER saw no issue for HE operates above the natural circumstances i.e. the supernatural.  If you continue to rely on your five physical senses you will never operate anywhere but the natural, lower realm.

8 By faith Abraham obeyed when he was called to go out to the place which he would receive as an inheritance. And he went out, not knowing where he was going.

When you hear FATHER’S Voice and respond accordingly, you are walking in faith.  You no longer accept what your five physical senses are telling you in the lower realm but instead you are trusting in FATHER’S Word and ability to perform in the higher and superior realm on your behalf.  You are not moved by what you see and hear, you no longer accept the evil report submitted by the world.  Abraham believed FATHER’S Word to him rather than his body or the barrenness of Sarah.  Once Abraham embraced FATHER’S Word, Sarah responded as well:

11 By faith Sarah herself also received strength to conceive seed, and she bore a child when she was past the age, because she judged Him faithful who had promised.

12 Therefore from one man, and him as good as dead, were born as many as the stars of the sky in multitude—innumerable as the sand which is by the seashore.

Both were witnesses to FATHER’S supernatural power.  Let us also become witnesses to HIS power in our lives as we walk in faith pleasing HIM.  We must immerse ourselves in HIS Word to the point where we believe HIM more than we believe the world and it bombardment of evil reports.  Faith is the substance of things hoped for but you must first develop your hope that FATHER will intervene and operate in you and through you in Love for others.  HIS Word will cleanse you of unbelief but it is your choice to go through the cleansing process.  As you move toward purity in purpose, you will begin to sense an activation in your life.  Your faith will rise up and you will begin to see those things that were previously unsolvable as non-issues.  Doubt will depart from you.

What about my past sins, lawlessness, and failures?  FATHER’S grace and mercy are greater than anything you have done or have been a part of in the past.  Paul (who was Saul) officiated over the killing of believers yet FATHER used him to pen two-thirds of the New Testament and minister life and healing to many.  Moses killed a man yet FATHER had no problem empowering his calling to set the captives free from Egypt.  FATHER used heathen kings to do HIS bidding thus I am confident that FATHER can use you and me for HIS Purpose.  Let not guilt of past failures prevent you from embracing the Way, the Truth, and the Life FATHER would have you walk out in these times.

My prayer for you is found in Colossians chapter 1:

9 For this reason we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to ask that you may be filled with the knowledge of His will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding;

10 that you may walk worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing Him, being fruitful in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God;

11 strengthened with all might, according to His glorious power, for all patience and longsuffering with joy;

12 giving thanks to the Father who has qualified us to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in the light.

13 He has delivered us from the power of darkness and conveyed us into the kingdom of the Son of His love,

14 in whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins.

When faith walks in Love, nothing is held back by FATHER for you know HIS Will and HE will have you bear witness of HIM to those you encounter.  Hallelujah!

Do You Know HIS Ways?

Thursday, January 28th, 2016

There are those who are called to enter into the “Promised” land today but many will give excuses such as is found in Luke 14:

17 and sent his servant at supper time to say to those who were invited, ‘Come, for all things are now ready.’

18 But they all with one accord began to make excuses. The first said to him, ‘I have bought a piece of ground, and I must go and see it. I ask you to have me excused.’

19 And another said, ‘I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I am going to test them. I ask you to have me excused.’

20 Still another said, ‘I have married a wife, and therefore I cannot come.’

What is so important that you are unwilling to lay your life down for THE LORD GOD ALMIGHTY?  Little do people realize that as you give yourself fully to FATHER, HE is able to give HIMSELF fully to you.  Let me assure you it is a great life even when the adversary comes to mess with you.  Knowing that FATHER is with you allows you to rest in the midst of your enemies:

Psalm 138:7 ​​Though I walk in the midst of trouble, You will revive me;

​​You will stretch out Your hand against the wrath of my enemies,

​​And Your right hand will save me.

My daughter recently shared a quote with me: What we fear most often reveals where we trust GOD the least.  Only you and FATHER truly know what is in your heart.  Whatever your area of weakness is, let FATHER turn it into a strength.  Do you have a hard time praying?  If so, consider that you don’t have a deep enough relationship with FATHER or you could easily carry on a conversation with HIM.  If you knew HIS Ways you could and would proclaim them as you present the request at hand.  If you knew Christ The Healer, you would pursue healing through Him rather than a man or woman with a white coat who is practicing on you.

Many are predisposed to focusing on politics, sports, hobbies, etc. whereas I am predisposed with knowing FATHER and HIS ways to the point I can make a blessed difference in people’s lives.  When you have a solution to a problem that truly works, you want to share it with others.  When you encounter a difficult situation and you are led out of it in a peaceful and positive fashion, you rejoice and seek to share it to the benefit of those willing to listen.

The world is in a persistent state of turmoil now and we must ask who has a solution to all of the problems plaguing mankind today.  Only FATHER can bring us out of the muck and mire for there is none with the ability to do so other than HIM.  Love is the only answer and the question is will you participate in HIS deliverance as a vessel of honor or will you simply be one of the untold recipients.  If you are in the latter group, what will be your excuse for missing out on the most exciting opportunity of a lifetime?  Once you begin to know HIS Way, HIS Truth, and HIS Life, you will be at peace in any situation you find yourself in.

Jesus spoke:

John 13:34 “A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another. 35 By this all will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another.”

Let FATHER flow through you to the benefit of others.

Healing for All?

Wednesday, January 27th, 2016

Is it FATHER’S Will to heal everyone or are there a select few slated for HIS blessing?  Are the rest of destined to spend their life savings trying to manage a chronic infirmity that the medical profession has yet to find a cure?  Is our CREATOR just not big enough to fix the very ones HE created?  Have we simply lowered our expectation to the point of unbelief?  It’s time for the Truth to come to the forefront of our consciousness and no longer accept our current situation.  Let each of us deal with the uncertainty of FATHER’S willingness to heal us all.

How can you walk in boldness if you are not sure of FATHER’S Will in the area you are being confronted with?  Let the following verses taken from only one of the Gospels minister to you that FATHER’S will expressed by HIS Son Jesus is to heal all who come into HIS Presence:

Matthew 4:23 And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all kinds of sickness and all kinds of disease among the people.

Matthew 8:16  16 When evening had come, they brought to Him many who were demon-possessed. And He cast out the spirits with a word, and healed all who were sick,

Matthew 9:35 Then Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every sickness and every disease among the people.

Mathew 12:15  But when Jesus knew it, He withdrew from there. And great multitudes followed Him, and He healed them all.

Matthew 14:14 And when Jesus went out He saw a great multitude; and He was moved with compassion for them, and healed their sick.

Matthew 14:34 When they had crossed over, they came to the land of Gennesaret.

35 And when the men of that place recognized Him, they sent out into all that surrounding region, brought to Him all who were sick,

36 and begged Him that they might only touch the hem of His garment. And as many as touched it were made perfectly well.

Matthew 15:29 Jesus departed from there, skirted the Sea of Galilee, and went up on the mountain and sat down there.

30 Then great multitudes came to Him, having with them the lame, blind, mute, maimed, and many others; and they laid them down at Jesus’ feet, and He healed them.

Matthew 19:1 Now it came to pass, when Jesus had finished these sayings, that He departed from Galilee and came to the region of Judea beyond the Jordan.

2 And great multitudes followed Him, and He healed them there.

Matthew 21:14 Then the blind and the lame came to Him in the temple, and He healed them.

Yes, that was Jesus doing the healing but how can I be expected to walk in the same manner?  Jesus included us in the Great Commission of Mark 16:14-18, Matt. 28:16–20, Luke 24:44–49, and Acts 1:6–8.  Faith comes by hearing, reading, and dwelling on The Word so let your faith be built up by meditating on the Scriptures found in these writings.  Make this a priority in your life and your life will finally align with FATHER’S Plan, Will, and Purpose. 

Quit worrying about what the world is doing and start concerning yourself with serving FATHER and responding to HIS Voice and mandate for you.  Be your brother’s keeper by embracing the Great Commission and begin walking in it.  See yourself as Jesus sees you.  Let not unbelief and your history of failure prevent you from rising up to HIS Standard.  Reestablish your priorities and HE will respond.

Do you feel like you are missing something in order to walk out the Great Commission?  Embrace the following verse in 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.

16 Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.

Jesus knows your problems and He knows how to resolve them so you can fulfill your calling.  Muster up a little boldness and your day will change for the better.  The masses are in desperate need of healing and we have the answer to their problem if we will simply respond to FATHER’S Call.  Yes, it is HIS Will for all to be healed.

A Superior Ministry

Tuesday, January 26th, 2016

Under the Old Covenant, every one of the 3 million children of Israel were walking in full and complete health for FATHER healed them all.  This population had been enslaved by the Egyptians and made to toil under severe conditions.  It was not easy for any of them.  FATHER performed miracle after miracle and they believed HIM to be their Deliverer and HE was.  HE provided for them in the wilderness and they were able to see an expression of HIS Presence.  Life was good versus the bondage they had suffered previously.  Yet the New Covenant provides us a more excellent ministry than that of the Old Covenant:

Hebrews 8:6  But the ministry Jesus has received is as superior to theirs as the covenant of which he is mediator is superior to the old one, and it is founded on better promises.

By HIS Love, FATHER established a better promise and ministry through HIS Son Jesus Christ:

1 Now this is the main point of the things we are saying: We have such a High Priest, who is seated at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens,

2 a Minister of the sanctuary and of the true tabernacle which the Lord erected, and not man.

Jesus performed over 30 individual healings recorded in the Gospels as well as “mass” healings of larger groups.  All of this was done under the Old Covenant for He had not yet gone to the cross.  We are now under a more excellent ministry yet where is the fullness of the fruit of this more excellent ministry?  Shouldn’t we expect more than the disciples who were able to go forth while Jesus walked among them?  What is preventing us from producing greater fruit than the disciples on behalf of the Kingdom?  Unbelief, fear, and lack of trust in FATHER.  An unwillingness to fully embrace the revelation of Love, the most primary characteristic of FATHER.  Let us pursue change in our lives that we might fulfill the great commission:

Mark 16:14 Later Jesus appeared to the eleven as they sat at the table; and He rebuked their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they did not believe those who had seen Him after He had risen.

15 And Jesus said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature.

16 He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned.

17 And these signs will follow those who believe: In My name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues;

18 they will take up serpents; and if they drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.”

This is a call to no longer cower under the pressure of “political correctness” and remain silent.  It is time to be bold in your belief and walk in faith, no longer accepting the conditions the world has placed you under.  Earnestly seek FATHER’S Face and HE will respond and begin instructing you of which path to take, who is ready to hear the Good News, and when to rebuke the devourer.

Gideon was in hiding and minding his own business when his visitation came forth.  You can run but you can’t hide from your designated calling.  Everyone has a calling but the question is will you grab hold of your calling and walk it out in its fullness or will you just sit on the couch with the TV remote in your hand biding your time?  Are you an undercover Believer?

Acts 4:31  And when they had prayed, the place where they were assembled together was shaken; and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and they spoke the word of God with boldness.

Do you think this boldness was only for the first few years after the resurrection of Jesus?  Think again.  We have full access to a superior ministry provided for by Jesus being at the right hand of FATHER so let’s embrace it and establish HIS Kingdom on earth as it is in Heaven.  Fear not and get rid of your unbelief, it’s time!

3 Million vs. 7 Billion

Monday, January 25th, 2016

It is estimated when FATHER delivered the children of Israel out of Egypt, there were about 3 million.  Psalms 107 speaks of this deliverance:

19 ​​Then they cried out to the LORD in their trouble,

​​And He saved them out of their distresses.

20 ​​He sent His word and healed them,

​​And delivered them from their destructions.

How many of the 3 million were healed?  All of them!  As Psalms 107 proclaims, there was not one feeble among them:

37 ​​He also brought them out with silver and gold,

​​And there was none feeble among His tribes.

38 ​​Egypt was glad when they departed,

​​For the fear of them had fallen upon them.

39 ​​He spread a cloud for a covering,

​​And fire to give light in the night.

Is FATHER willing to heal all 7 billion of those inhabiting the earth today or is HE restricted to 3 million, 10 million, or just a few?  Can the CREATOR fix HIS creation?  Certainly.  FATHER is no respecter of persons as Peter spoke in Acts 10:34.  HE will heal anyone who believes fully IN HIM.  Traditions of men have diluted the Word in the area of healing and thus there has been resistance to standing on HIS Promises in the area of healing.  Over the last 10 years, I have seen the very same reluctance to pursue the revelation of Love to the point of resistance in some cases.  Why?  Once you receive the revelation, you become accountable and possibly afraid FATHER might require much of you.  It reveals a lack of trust IN HIM to look out for your best interest.

In 2014, it is estimated that the U.S. spent 3 trillion dollars in healthcare.  How much did the children of Israel spend in their first year in the wilderness?  Zero.  There were none who were sick among them.  What would $3,000,000,000,000 do for an economy if spent in a more productive fashion?  That works out to $9,500 for every man, woman, and child.  We are not meant to die from sickness, we should simply quit breathing on that appointed day.

Do you fully believe FATHER’S Words and promises to you?  Unbelief and compromise must be removed.  If under the Old Covenant FATHER managed to heal 3 million, how much more under the New Covenant should HE be able to heal!  The fulfillment of the Blood of Christ should empower us to the point where we no longer accept sickness and disease as the norm but instead we should expect complete healing of our bodies to manifest.  Consider what the Beloved Disciple wrote in 1 John chapter 4:

17 Love has been perfected among us in this: that we may have boldness in the day of judgment; because as He is, so are we in this world.

18 There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves torment. But he who fears has not been made perfect in love.

19 We love Him because He first loved us.

20 If someone says, “I love God,” and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother whom he has seen, how can he love God whom he has not seen?

21 And this commandment we have from Him: that he who loves God must love his brother also.

We should expect FATHER’S power and authority to come forth as we establish HIS Kingdom.  People will respond when they see the fruit of this power.  Until then, they will laugh under their breath and continue spending their $9,500 per month for a poor substitute to FATHER’S healing power.  Let each of us become willing vessels of Honor for HIS purpose.  May fruit come forth in abundance for all to see HIS Love, mercy, and power.
