This morning I was awaken a few minutes past 3 A.M. and was immediately instructed to arise and write a warning concerning pride.  We find in Job 33:

14 “Indeed God speaks once, Or twice, yet no one notices it.

15 “In a dream, a vision of the night,

When sound sleep falls on men, While they slumber in their beds,

16 Then He opens the ears of men, And seals their instruction,

17 That He may turn man aside from his conduct,

And keep man from pride;

18 He keeps back his soul from the pit,

And his life from passing over into Sheol.”

When FATHER gives men and women revelation or sacred knowledge, they become accountable and responsible for its use.  They are not to exalt themselves by acting as though their calling is above and beyond that of others.  Revelation is given to establish FATHER’S Kingdom not your own.  Revelation is intended to bring all men to a higher state of relationship with FATHER, not a select few.  This is precisely why I encourage everyone to seek HIS Face.  We are all encouraged to come up higher and be lights unto the world and that is why the disciples were mandated to go into all the world.

In Proverbs 16, Wisdom spoke:

18 ​​Pride goes before destruction, ​​And a haughty spirit before a fall.

19 ​​Better to be of a humble spirit with the lowly, ​​Than to divide the spoil with the proud.

​20 ​​He who heeds the word wisely will find good, ​​And whoever trusts in the LORD, happy is he.

When we are better able to hear FATHER, we must maintain a sincere humbleness especially toward those who are having a difficult time hearing HIM.  Each of us has a unique history and those who are mature will not leverage themselves because of their relationship with FATHER.  Love serves others rather than lifting and exalting one’s self.

Again Wisdom spoke in chapter 29:

23 ​​A man’s pride will bring him low,

​​But the humble in spirit will retain honor.

When you exalt yourself above others and entice them to follow you, then you have effectively promoted yourself as others’ source of revelation rather than FATHER.  You have turned men’s eyes away from HIM and that is a very dangerous place to be for it leads to destruction.

In Daniel Chapter 5 Belshazzar the king of Babylon was about to be removed from power.  He was given the writing on the wall because of his pride:

20 But when his heart was lifted up, and his spirit was hardened in pride, he was deposed from his kingly throne, and they took his glory from him.

21 Then he was driven from the sons of men, his heart was made like the beasts, and his dwelling was with the wild donkeys. They fed him with grass like oxen, and his body was wet with the dew of heaven, till he knew that the Most High God rules in the kingdom of men, and appoints over it whomever He chooses.

In 1 John chapter 2, the Beloved Disciple warns us:

15 Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him.

16 For all that is in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—is not of the Father but is of the world.

17 And the world is passing away, and the lust of it; but he who does the will of God abides forever.

We must be vigilant to protect ourselves from pride in its various expressions.  We must critically assess our motives toward others as we minister FATHER’S Words HE shares.  We should minister Love and serve with the sacred knowledge graciously given to us for the purpose of edifying others and lifting them up higher.

In his second letter to Timothy, Paul wrote:

1 I charge you therefore before God and the Lord Jesus Christ, who will judge the living and the dead at His appearing and His kingdom:

2 Preach the word! Be ready in season and out of season. Convince, rebuke, exhort, with all longsuffering and teaching.

3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers;

4 and they will turn their ears away from the truth, and be turned aside to fables

It is my earnest desire to teach, encourage, and admonish those who read these blogs to adhere to the Truth presented in Scripture with a specific focus of the Words of Jesus.  This is the primary source of sound doctrine which is a set of beliefs that is confirmed by signs, miracles, power, and authority.  All other doctrines simply tickle the ears of those who follow such doctrines and are built on sand that easily washes away with time.

Men can control and manipulate through other doctrines that are not backed by Our Heavenly Father.  They have no true power to perform the words they speak and support but FATHER does as HE spoke to Jeremiah in chapter 1:

12  Then the LORD said to me, “You have seen well, for I am ready to perform My word.”

How many men can truly guarantee performance of their word?  The answer is “none”.  Only FATHER has the inherent power to cause HIS Word to come to pass for HE created Heaven and earth by HIS Word.  If you want to walk in power, you must fully embrace HIS Word in your life.  Once you turn away from the Truth of HIS Word you have taken the path to death and destruction.  The end result will probably not happen immediately but be assured you are squarely on that path.

As I look back at these teachings, their purpose is to “convince, rebuke, and exhort”.  Each day I await FATHER’S instruction on what to write and HE never fails to provide whatever is needed for the reader, including myself, for that day.  If no one else read these writings, I would still be blessed for I am reading these for my own instruction by HIS SPIRIT.  I am a willing vessel to be a conduit for HIS Instruction to us.

Who is turning away from the Truth?  Paul reveals the sad reality in chapter 3:

1 But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come:

2 For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,

3 unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good,

4 traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God,

5 having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away!

You can find every category Paul mentions in today’s news.  These are the perilous times he described.  Consider the first two descriptions: lovers of themselves are those who are self-absorbed and are led by their ego.  The second description “lovers of money” reflect the hoarding and greed that abounds.

Paul warns us there will be those who fall away from the Truth and join those on the path to destruction.  We must be vigilant to assess our focus and be careful to take the narrow “gate” Jesus spoke of:

13 “Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. 14 Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it.”

Truth takes you through the narrow gate whereas all other “doctrines” cause you to turn away from the Truth and thus lead to destruction.  Seek HIS Truth and live.

Fear is the lack of faith and trust in FATHER.  In Luke chapter 12 Jesus spoke:

22 Then He said to His disciples, “Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat; nor about the body, what you will put on.

23 Life is more than food, and the body is more than clothing.

24 Consider the ravens, for they neither sow nor reap, which have neither storehouse nor barn; and God feeds them. Of how much more value are you than the birds?

Jesus tells us not to worry about our lives.  Why?  Because we all live beyond these physical bodies and this is such a small aspect of our existence.  Some people are obsessed with their health but if you become spiritually mature, FATHER will guide you to the proper nutrition and exercise to optimize the effect without going overboard.  Others spend inordinate amounts of time searching for the perfect clothing only to find it is out of style in a few short months.  Focus on FATHER and HE will provide the appropriate direction and resources for you to fulfill your purpose on earth.  Jesus continued:

25 And which of you by worrying can add one cubit to his stature?

26 If you then are not able to do the least, why are you anxious for the rest?

We need to be grateful for where HE has placed us in life.  Worry is a state of anxiety and uncertainty over actual or potential problems.  One who worries is predisposed to focus on the problem rather than focus on pursuing FATHER for the solution.  Worry does not change the outcome, it simply lowers your body’s vibrational status which supports life.  That is why people who are constantly worrying tend to have health problems.  Jesus is assuring us that FATHER is specifically concerned about us and our well being:

27 Consider the lilies, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin; and yet I say to you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.

28 If then God so clothes the grass, which today is in the field and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, how much more will He clothe you, O you of little faith?

You cannot walk in fear and faith for they are opposing forces in your life.  Worrying moves you away from great faith and toward “little” faith to the point of no faith.  Stop it!  Know that FATHER has a guardian angel who is mandated to watch over you and intervene at critical points in your life.  I know this for a certainty as I have experienced interventions on my behalf.  Quit worrying about demonic forces for FATHER will deal with them as required.  Focus on your relationship with THE ONE WHO created you for HE watches over you and waits to hear from you.  Fear blocks your ability to hear.

Fear is simply a lack of faith and faith comes by hearing, meditating, and embracing FATHER’S Word and promises to you.  The world attempts to increase fear in order to control us.  They would have us believe that disease is due to the lack of using their drug.  They would have us believe that safety can only come by more government and less freedom.  FATHER will lead you away from danger as you walk in THE SPIRIT.

Jesus gave us a Spiritual key to the above issues:

29 “And do not seek what you should eat or what you should drink, nor have an anxious mind.

30 For all these things the nations of the world seek after, and your Father knows that you need these things.

31 But seek the kingdom of God, and all these things shall be added to you.”

How simple!  People try to complicate the solution but Jesus simplified it in a few words.  Seek FATHER and fear will dissipate.  Faith will replace the fear and you will be able to move mountains in order to fulfill your calling.  Find those deep-seated fears and expose them for what they are.  You were wonderfully made by FATHER and nothing should dissuade you from walking in the fullness of your calling.  Jesus sums up this revelation with:

32 “Do not fear, little flock, for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom.

33 Sell what you have and give alms; provide yourselves money bags which do not grow old, a treasure in the heavens that does not fail, where no thief approaches nor moth destroys.

34 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.”

We are placed on this earth to grow into full Spiritual maturity.  Walking in faith is required to attain such maturity.  Trusting in earthly riches does not promote faith but actually promotes fear of the future.  When you physically pass away, your earthly riches get distributed.  Why not distribute wealth according to FATHER’S purpose rather than the alternative?  Show me your check book and your daily detailed calendar and I will show you where your heart is and what your priorities are.  They will attest to either faith or fear.

In Matthew chapter 5, Jesus spoke:

14 “You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden.

15 Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house.

16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.”

We have extremely good news for a world that is growing darker day by day.  FATHER is still on the Throne and we need to convey HIS Love to the world through whatever manner is available to us.  Technology has provided us one such avenue but “one on one” is still the most effective way.  Men and women need the human contact to fully embrace FATHER’S Love for them.

Many of the brethren have spent years studying and researching every nook and cranny of the Word.  Some have acquired large libraries of Christian books and associated reference tools.  In some cases it has become somewhat of an obsession to find the next hidden mystery and report to whomever.  I say to you it is time to graduate from school and get out there and do something for the rest of mankind.  After all, Jesus did not say to go into all the libraries and find the latest books about Him.

We need to change people’s lives for the better.  That is what Love does.  We need to be Love in the eyes of those searching for meaning.  Self-absorbing activities simply delay your mandate to be a light unto all the world.

Actions speak louder than words.  Yes, you should share the Gospel but you should also be an example of HIS Love.  Help others out without expecting anything in return.  There are a number of things you can do if you will simply look around.  Jesus put it this way:

Matthew 25:32 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.’

Don’t get me wrong, I am not against studying, fellowshipping, and other such activities that promote greater maturity and unity but at some point it is time to “be Love” rather than just studying about it and other topics.  We are called to go into the world, not sit on the couch surfing the TV channels or Internet all night.  There is plenty of need out there if you will simply look around.

If I have stirred up your spirit to do something, just do it!  You can start by sending a blind email of this link to encourage others to let their light shine brighter.  There is plenty of need out there and we are the personal representatives of The Kingdom.  Let our lights shine forth!

An agent is a person or thing that takes an active role or produces a specified effect and we are called to be agents of change.  In Mark 16, Jesus spoke:

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.”

This great commission is meant for all of us to participate in some fashion.  There are some who are to be on the front line and go out and there are others who are called to fund the Gospel.  Some are called to be intercessors whereas others are called to administrate in some fashion.  If we were all in unity, we would be a major force in this world.  If you hold back your resources and calling, you are disqualifying yourself as an “agent of change”.

There are no “Lone Rangers” out there called to do their own thing.  It takes all of the Body of Christ to bring forth the Kingdom.  We are called to reveal the Divine unconditional Love of FATHER toward all of mankind.  Learning how to Love and be Love is the purpose for all of mankind to embrace.  Consider the result of this unconditional Love spreading throughout the earth.  What would happen if those with resources unconditionally gave to those who have embraced Love but without resources.  Clearly FATHER will further reveal the opportunities as men and women step out in faith.  The problem is most people are simply waiting on a sign rather than embracing the Words of Jesus Christ, the manifested and revealed Intent of FATHER.  What more do we really need?

There is a small but faithful group of givers who support this ministry and I am truly grateful.  No matter what the dollar amount, FATHER looks at their hearts and is pleased with their willingness to give.  Unlike sitting in a Church sanctuary where there is pressure to open the wallet, those who give here do it on their own accord.  They understand Kingdom finance and economics.  Paul wrote in 2 Corinthians chapter 9:

6 But this I say: He who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and he who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully.

7 So let each one give as he purposes in his heart, not grudgingly or of necessity; for God loves a cheerful giver.

8 And God is able to make all grace abound toward you, that you, always having all sufficiency in all things, may have an abundance for every good work.

9 As it is written:

​​​“He has dispersed abroad,

​​He has given to the poor;

​​His righteousness endures forever.”

​10 Now may He who supplies seed to the sower, and bread for food, supply and multiply the seed you have sown and increase the fruits of your righteousness,

11 while you are enriched in everything for all liberality, which causes thanksgiving through us to God.

12 For the administration of this service not only supplies the needs of the saints, but also is abounding through many thanksgivings to God,

If you really embrace Love you will then embrace giving.  If you read this blog as a plea then you have missed the point.  This ministry is all about providing you and others with a conduit to facilitate change on this earth.  We have the beginnings of an infrastructure to unify the Body through technology such as the unity153.net site.  However, more people and resources are needed to truly take the effort to the next level.  I am “all in”, what about you?  Are you truly willing to be an agent of change?  Or are you satisfied in continuing in your current state?  The choice is yours.

PS:  Don’t shoot the messenger.

In Matthew chapter 6 Jesus spoke:

8 “Therefore do not be like them. For your Father knows the things you have need of before you ask Him. 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.

11 ​​Give us this day our daily bread.

12 ​​And forgive us our debts,

​​As we forgive our debtors.

13 ​​And do not lead us into temptation,

​​But deliver us from the evil one.

​​For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.”

Jesus specifically expressed the Truth of THE LORD GOD ALMIGHTY is OUR FATHER yet people continually call HIM by the most generic name of GOD.  Wouldn’t that be similar to me calling you man or woman and never calling you by an intimate and personal name?  The term “FATHER” denotes relationship and attributes reverence and respect to the ONE WHO brought me forth.

Jesus continued:

14 “For if you forgive men their trespasses, your Heavenly Father will also forgive you.

15 But if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.”

When you pray or when you refer to HIM, shouldn’t you reverence HIM by addressing HIM as FATHER?  HE does know that HE is your father but you should reinforce that reality with reverence when speaking to HIM or about HIM.  HIS “proper” name is LORD GOD ALMIGHTY as we see in Revelation chapter 4:

8 The four living creatures, each having six wings, were full of eyes around and within. And they do not rest day or night, saying:

​​​“Holy, holy, holy,

​​Lord God Almighty,

​​Who was and is and is to come!”

What kind of relationship are you promoting with the words of your mouth?  HE once told me in the midst of my 10 year time of prayer in the 1990’s “Don’t call ME GOD!   MY name is either FATHER or LORD GOD ALMIGHTY, you choose which one to address ME by.”  I chose FATHER.  That is HIS relationship to me for I am HIS son.  Once you embrace this Truth, your spirit will note every time you hear someone address HIM solely as GOD, especially someone in the ministry.  You may say that I am splitting hairs but if it were not important HE would not have corrected me during prayer.  Thankfully HE was not upset at HIS son but simply wanted me to grow spiritually in my relationship with HIM.  Now you know why I always capitalize and reference to HIM in these blogs.  It is out of pure reverence, honor, and respect.

Psalm 19:7 ​​The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul;

​​The testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple;

8 ​​The statutes of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart;

​​The commandment of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes;

9 ​​The fear of the LORD is clean, enduring forever;

​​The judgments of the LORD are true and righteous altogether.

10 ​​More to be desired are they than gold, ​​Yea, than much fine gold;

​​Sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb.

11 ​​Moreover by them Your servant is warned,

​​And in keeping them there is great reward.

Our souls need cleansed and converted.  When we are born again our souls must be dealt with and changed.  Our mind, will, and emotions are like gates that allow outside influences to come into us and impact our essence.  For example, if you are around a negative person all the time they will ultimately have a negative impact on you.  You may begin to take on their character to some degree.  You become like the company you keep.

In Genesis chapter 1 God said, “Let there be light”; and there was light.  FATHER’S Words are filled with power and those Words vibrate with life.  This vibration is found in every Word of FATHER throughout Scripture.  Jesus spoke with this same power.  When you quote the Words of Jesus, you are cleansing and correcting your soul and your body with vibrating power causing your body to operate at a higher frequency.  The higher frequency brings forth healing and health.  We saw this in EDS testing of energy meridians in the body.

Toxins cause the body to operate at a lower vibration.  Toxins include chemicals, bacteria, fungi, metals, molds, etc.  They also include adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies,  envy, murders,drunkenness, and revelries at the soul level (Galatians 5).  So toxins whether at the physical or soulish level will cause your body’s vibrational level to decline and operate at a lower level.  The results is sickness and dis-ease.

When I contracted hepatitis from shellfish in 1984, FATHER put me on a cleansing cycle to increase my vibrational level.  I had overextended myself in work and needed rest but pressed on.  HE warned me to slow down but I postponed it to my regret.  FATHER’S instructions directed me to immerse myself in HIS Word on healing.  It immediately began to affect my vibrational level to move it to a higher level and healing resulted in a supernatural manner.

Jesus operated at the highest vibrational state and when the woman with the issue of blood tapped into His vibrational state, she was immediately healed.  This state has many aspects but its effect is to increase energy and power flow in the body.  People use physical means to simulate the same result with essential oils, magnets, and other means.  The problem is those alternative means do not address the root of the problem.  The problem must be “cleansed” by HIS Word and converting the soul.  In HIS Word is great reward.

The Psalmist ask the question in chapter 19 and then provides the answer:

12 ​​Who can understand his errors?

​​Cleanse me from secret faults.

13 ​​Keep back Your servant also from presumptuous sins;

​​Let them not have dominion over me.

​​Then I shall be blameless,

​​And I shall be innocent of great transgression.

​14 ​​Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart

​​Be acceptable in Your sight,

​​O LORD, my strength and my Redeemer.

The Law of Love is perfect and as we dwell on it day and night our health will improve and the would-be invaders will have no place in us.  FATHER will cleanse us and we will then walk with purity of purpose and our soul and body will prosper and be in good health.

Paul wrote in Galatians chapter 5:

16 I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh.

17 For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, so that you do not do the things that you wish.

18 But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.

19 Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness,

20 idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies,

21 envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.

Paul listed the works of the flesh which are contrary to walking in self-control.  If a person does not know Love, their actions and/or intent will be included within this list.  The only question is how many of the different works will describe that actions of the person.  In order to walk in self-control you must press in to walking in the Spirit.  The first thing you must do is focus on unconditional Love.  It is the basis of “self” control.

Since FATHER’S Character is the Divine origin of unconditional Love we must focus on HIM and learn about HIS ways.  HE sent HIS Son to provide us a manifested example of how to walk, talk, and respond to all situations.   You can only mature in this area by first focusing on the Gospels.  Since the Gospel of John had a focus on Love, I would suggest reading this Gospel first.  Read the Gospels with an open and clear mind, preferably first thing in the morning before the clutter and chaos of the day enter in.  Most people read the Bible because they are searching for an answer to a petition rather than simply seeking to be fulfilled.

After you read the Gospels with a fresh outlook, consider doing something to bless others.  As you give, you begin to walk in self-control.  The more you give the more self-control you practice.  When you take, you feed selfishness and your ego.  When you argue, you take from the other person in some manner for you begin to suck the life out of them.

Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen and it requires patience.  We must let patience have its perfect work and as we overcome the pressure of time our self-control will become more mature.  FATHER had me pray in the mornings before work for 10 years (1990-2000) and then one day HE said “Okay, you’re done.”  That was a time of learning self-control.

Galatians 5:22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,

23 gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law.

Paul’s list could be used as a progression to self-control.  Of course Love begins the list.  As you embrace all aspects of unconditional Love you will have joy and peace.  You will become longsuffering and kind.  Your purity of purpose will bring forth goodness.  Love is faithful and gentle.  Voila! Self-control has been achieved.

"Joy comes from seeing the complete fulfillment of the specific purpose for which I was created and born again, not from successfully doing something of my own choosing. The joy our Lord experienced came from doing what the Father sent Him to do. And He says to us, “As the Father has sent Me, I also send you” (John 20:21). Have you received a ministry from the Lord? If so, you must be faithful to it— to consider your life valuable only for the purpose of fulfilling that ministry. Knowing that you have done what Jesus sent you to do, think how satisfying it will be to hear Him say to you, “Well done, good and faithful servant” (Matthew 25:21). We each have to find a niche in life, and spiritually we find it when we receive a ministry from the Lord. To do this we must have close fellowship with Jesus and must know Him as more than our personal Savior. And we must be willing to experience the full impact of Acts 9:16 — “I will show him how many things he must suffer for My name’s sake.”

“Do you love Me?” Then, “Feed My sheep” (John 21:17). He is not offering us a choice of how we can serve Him; He is asking for absolute loyalty to His commission, a faithfulness to what we discern when we are in the closest possible fellowship with God. If you have received a ministry from the Lord Jesus, you will know that the need is not the same as the call— the need is the opportunity to exercise the call. The call is to be faithful to the ministry you received when you were in true fellowship with Him. This does not imply that there is a whole series of differing ministries marked out for you. It does mean that you must be sensitive to what God has called you to do, and this may sometimes require ignoring demands for service in other areas."
