By THE SPIRIT, in Hebrews it is written:

24 By faith Moses, when he had grown up, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh’s daughter,

25 choosing rather to endure ill-treatment with the people of God than to enjoy the passing pleasures of sin,

26 considering the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures of Egypt; for he was looking to the reward

When the Age of Passover was about to begin, FATHER raised up Moses to be HIS Vessel of Honor to lead the children out of slavery and to the Promised Land.  Moses himself had a good life for him and his family in Egypt.  However he chose to give up that life for a better life in the end:

16 But now they desire a better, that is, a heavenly country. Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God, for He has prepared a city for them.

It is clear that in looking back at Moses, he had taken the long-term view of life rather than the short-term where his immediate needs would be satisfied.  He was willing to sacrifice “self” for the benefit of others and FATHER was able to use him to lead the children into the Age of Passover.  When the day came, the children of Israel were not removed from experiencing the death angel moving through the land, they were simply protected from the chaos and death coming into their households.  By faith they obeyed FATHER and were spared.

At that time Egypt was the greatest nation on earth yet Moses gave up his citizenship and association with Egypt to follow FATHER.  He was chosen because of his willingness to accept a future reward much greater than a temporary reward of pleasure and riches.  He was willing to suffer the abuse or reproach of Christ in order to receive the future reward of being a citizen in the Heavenly City of OUR GOD.

We are once again in a similar situation of enslavement but being prepared to be set free.  Mystery Babylon has enslaved the masses with its monetary, political, and religious systems in place.  Its goal is to keep us enslaved and in line with its intent.  However FATHER’S Divine Intent of Love will not submit to man’s path toward destruction.  During this transitional period we too will suffer for Christ but we must count it worthy for the reward ahead for us just as Moses by faith did so.

Paul wrote by THE SPIRIT in 1 Thessalonians chapter 1:

11 Therefore we also pray always for you that our God would count you worthy of this calling, and fulfill all the good pleasure of His goodness and the work of faith with power,

12 that the name of our Lord Jesus Christ may be glorified in you, and you in Him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ.

We must take each step forward out of bondage and into the path of Life by faith IN HIM.  These writings are intended to encourage us daily in our walk and to build up our faith for we are not alone but united in Christ to fulfill FATHER’S Mandate and daily directives in our lives.  HE expects us to change a little each day into the fullness of Christ.  We are to “walk the walk” not just “talk the talk”.  Each day we become Spiritually stronger which will enable us to run the race set before us.  It is not how you start the race but it is how you finish!

We must not be discouraged when we are in the wilderness for it is a necessary part of our maturing process.  We need to learn to be instant in season and out of season so that we become consistent in all situations.  The Heavenly City awaits our arrival and the Heavenly Hosts are cheering us on.  It is our time to walk in faith and look toward that Heavenly Reward.  If one of us falters, let the others come to our aid and help us cross the finish line if necessary for the Reward is worth it.

By THE SPIRIT Paul wrote in Ephesians chapter 4:

4 There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called in one hope of your calling;

5 one Lord, one faith, one baptism;

6 one God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.

Each of us makes up the Body of Christ as members who are to supply one another in unity.  FATHER is above us, through us, and in us which denotes we are fully immersed IN HIM.  We are to become one with HIM as we draw near and take on HIS Character of Love.  The previous verses to the above passage explain the process:

1 I, therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you to walk worthy of the calling with which you were called,

2 with all lowliness and gentleness, with longsuffering, bearing with one another in love,

3 endeavoring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.

We come into fully unity by walking in THE SPIRIT as Paul wrote in Galatians chapter 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.

24 And those who are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.

25 If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.

The fullness of the expression of Love comes forth through those who have embraced the Love of FATHER in their lives.  That fullness produces the fruit of THE SPIRIT as listed in the above passage.  The intent of that fruit is to ultimately bring forth the Kingdom on earth.  There is no longsuffering required in Heaven but instead there is a substantial need here on earth.  Kindness is directed to those in need of kindness even though they don’t realize the need themselves for they are blinded in their own walk.  We must forgive our enemies as Jesus stated in Matthew chapter 5 with the following expectation: “Therefore you shall be perfect, just as your Father in heaven is perfect.”

In Romans chapter 5, Paul wrote by THE SPIRIT:

5 Now hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us.

The Holy Spirit carries forth the Love being pour out into and through our hearts in the form of the outworking of fruit mentioned above.  As we submit to HIS SPIRIT, this life flows to us and through us to minister life to mankind.  As we embrace this flow we therefore keep the unity of THE SPIRIT in the bond of peace and become the full expression of FATHER to all we encounter.  FATHER’S Spirit is like the wind or air movement.  We either go against the wind and resist it or we have our backs to the wind and flow with it.  When FATHER breathed life into Adam he became a living being.  Without the Spirit, Adam was simply as dust of the earth.  As we flow with HIS SPIRIT we will be able to walk in unity as individual parts of HIS Body and become one with Christ without spot or wrinkle. 

There is a time of preparation and a time of fulfillment of unity.  Let us move forward into the full stature of maturity which will result in perfection of being one with FATHER.

Matthew by THE SPIRIT in chapter 28 witnessed and recorded:

17 When they saw Him, they worshiped Him; but some doubted.

18 And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth.

19 Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,

20 teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Amen.

There are many who doubt the veracity of the Scripture today even though the evidence is overwhelming.  If I pray to FATHER in Jesus’ Name and I receive a miraculous healing then what more proof do I need?  When FATHER tells me to focus on some anticipated event then it occurs, how can I doubt the Words of Jesus?  Our minds are where the battles of doubt are fought.  My mind is an excellent servant but a harsh taskmaster if it is allowed to control my path.  My heart must be in command where THE SPIRIT connects me to FATHER and our communication is centered thus I seek to be led by THE SPIRIT, not my mind and its logical reasoning.  It only reasons based on the incomplete information given to it.

Much of what FATHER speaks is contrary to what the world says.  The world sees scarcity and plans around that perception whereas FATHER speaks of abundance and is not limited to what man sees.  One thing we must overcome is the perception the world promotes which tends to overshadow the truth of reality.  The physical is subject to change as Jesus revealed time and time again.  FATHER spoke in Deuteronomy chapter 28:

1 “Now it shall come to pass, if you diligently obey the voice of the LORD your God, to observe carefully all His commandments which I command you today, that the LORD your God will set you high above all nations of the earth.”

HE continued to lay out the blessings of abundance to those who obey HIS Voice.  We all will be obedient to someone whether it be man or FATHER.  I choose to diligently obey FATHER.

“All authority” is just what it means.  Jesus has been given authority in all aspects of Heaven and on earth thus all men are subject to His authority in the final analysis.  Just as FATHER has conveyed authority to Jesus, we too are being conveyed the same authority as we come into full sonship.  Jesus’ mission was to serve all of mankind in Love and that is our mission as well.  He did not come to acquire assets for His own consumption at the expense of others in need.  Instead, He promoted cheerful giving and meeting the needs of others.  He withheld not healing and deliverance to those who sought Him.  We should expect the same to be true as we come into full maturity.

Each Age is a progression over the previous one.  The Age of Pentecost was an expansion over the Age of Passover.  This is true of the Age of Tabernacles as well.  Jesus issued a mandate to teach people to observe all things He commanded us.  “To observe” includes “to obey and doubt not”.  Jesus have given the disciples (and us) this very Truth in Mark chapter 11 when He spoke:

22 So Jesus answered and said to them, “Have faith in God.

23 For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be removed and be cast into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says.

24 Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them.”

We must overcome the world’s teaching in the area of who we are.  The world would tell us that we are not worthy and must live a life in subjection to those who have derivative power over us.  Their power is only temporary and/or perceived and is subject to all power and authority given to Jesus by FATHER.  Let us seek the higher ways of FATHER where true power and authority resides and those who are of the world will no longer control our lives.  Their power will be of none effect.  The key is to doubt not what Jesus has instructed us in accordance with FATHER’S Divine Intent.

In Matthew chapter 8, FATHER openly revealed:

28 When He had come to the other side, to the country of the Gergesenes, there met Him two demon-possessed men, coming out of the tombs, exceedingly fierce, so that no one could pass that way.

29 And suddenly they cried out, saying, “What have we to do with You, Jesus, You Son of God? Have You come here to torment us before the time?”

30 Now a good way off from them there was a herd of many swine feeding.

31 So the demons begged Him, saying, “If You cast us out, permit us to go away into the herd of swine.”

32 And He said to them, “Go.” So when they had come out, they went into the herd of swine. And suddenly the whole herd of swine ran violently down the steep place into the sea, and perished in the water.

33 Then those who kept them fled; and they went away into the city and told everything, including what had happened to the demon-possessed men.

34 And behold, the whole city came out to meet Jesus. And when they saw Him, they begged Him to depart from their region.

The anointing on Jesus was quickly recognized by the possessed men who have been plagued by a “legion” of demons.  The townspeople were well acquainted with the men and clearly had no solution to their problem.  They simply steered clear of them.  However Jesus was not moved by the threat of the demon-possessed men for He knew His authority to deal with these demons.

The other accounts of this encounter focus on one of the men.  Jesus spoke directly to the demons and they quickly acknowledged His power and authority and ask to be cast into a herd of two thousand swine close by.  Under FATHER’S directive, Jesus commands them to enter into the swine.  The self-destructive nature left the man and when it entered the swine they ran violently down the steep place into the lake and drowned.  As a result of the removal of the demonic influence the man was clothed and now in his right mind.

In the coming days we can expect conflict with the powers of darkness.  Walking in peace is not the absence of conflict but having it in the midst of conflict.  Jesus was not moved by the demon-possessed man and neither should we.  As our faith matures we will trust FATHER to have us encounter whomever HE determines to be delivered from death and destruction.  The life in us will swallow up death and destruction.

The townspeople rejected the ministry of Jesus because their intent was destructive and worldly.  Jesus was upsetting their economy by the sudden loss of two thousand swine.  Was that reasonable for Jesus to take the livelihood from those who owned the swine?  Clearly there were grounds to confront their business practices or Jesus would not have acted in such a manner.  This is proved by the response of the town.  They were rejecting life in order to keep the status quo.  Surely the demonic presence wasn’t limited to the two men Jesus first encountered.

FATHER has the first right of full ownership of all HE has created.  Mankind must submit to HIS title of ownership.  In the end, FATHER’S power and authority will be given to whomever HE designates to correct the path of men and return the land to its rightful inheritance.  This include everything within that land as well.  The Promised Land represents our bodies and FATHER will take back HIS possession from any who would attempt to take up residence contrary to HIS Divine Intent of Love.  The demons knew this reality as Jesus’ power and anointing approached them.

As we take on the power and authority granted by FATHER we will be fully clothed and in our right mind to go forth and deal with adversities in the same manner as Jesus.  There will be people who beg us to depart from their midst because of their unwillingness to give up their worldly state.  FATHER will direct us according to HIS Intent for the situation at hand.  Jesus departed from their midst for it was not time for them to receive a full deliverance from their situation.  We too must be sensitive to FATHER’S directives and understand each man and woman enters the Kingdom at an appointed time and manner.  Some will reject the Kingdom and others will embrace the Kingdom.  Either way, the power and authority from Above will prevail.

After I posted the last writing, Michelle O’Donnell sent this out:

It is not about me. No matter what it looks like, feels like, I am not going to make it about me. It is about a conflict in the heavens, and the Presence of God is going to swallow this up. I am going to turn and face that. What I look at, what I rehearse in my mind, what is consuming my soul, is what is going to appear. If I keep looking at this conflict, keep rehearsing it, I am always the victim, or looking at how many people in my family have this disease, or looking at the checkbook instead of the face of God, that is what will appear.

How do we receive God’s promises? God is wanting to, and will, manifest the uninterruptible Divine Order of his Kingdom in this situation. That is what you choose to look at. Choose to look at the Spirit of God, who is your best guide and will go before you and make the crooked way straight, and tell you the way to go for victory.

When faced with any situation do not react. When everything in you is screaming for attention, then is the moment that will determine success. You can run around like your hair is on fire, or you can stand still and say, "I choose to trust." What you hold in mind is, "No matter what the appearance, Divine Order is uninterruptible." When you pull those reins in you will soon know exactly what you need to know, and what you need to do, what the Spirit of God will say that will bring about victory.

FATHER is speaking to many who will listen.  Why?  Because HE Loves us all!

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.”

I grew up reciting The LORD”S Prayer in school at the beginning of the day.  This was because our Nation promoted Christian beliefs and conduct brought forth from the founding fathers.  The sentence “Give us this day our daily bread” denotes receiving from FATHER on a daily basis no matter what form it takes, whether it be sustenance, peace, or HIS Word applicable for this particular day.  Schools never had the problems back then they have had since Prayer has been removed.  When you remove the moral compass of a society, sin enters in and multiplies.

The word “daily” does not mean weekly, monthly, or occasionally.  Those of us who have finally realized that without FATHER’S daily guidance, life can get tough and overwhelming.  Problems will arise.  It may not be today or tomorrow, but they will come.

In Proverbs chapter 6, Wisdom spoke:

​​6  “Go to the ant, you sluggard!

​​Consider her ways and be wise,

7 ​​Which, having no captain,

​​Overseer or ruler,

8 ​​Provides her supplies in the summer,

​​And gathers her food in the harvest.

9 ​​How long will you slumber, O sluggard?

​​When will you rise from your sleep?

10 ​​A little sleep, a little slumber,

​​A little folding of the hands to sleep—

11 ​​So shall your poverty come on you like a prowler,

​​And your need like an armed man.”

This is not the time to become lazy regarding your daily schedule.  We must prepare for what lies ahead even though nothing may appear eminent.  Just as the Israelites posted watchmen on the wall we must be vigilant and seek FATHER’S daily instructions for our lives.  Whatever HE says, do it.  If we are fully prepared and are being led by HIS SPIRIT then it really doesn’t matter what day or hour Christ returns for we will not be caught unaware.  We must embrace the opportunity to prioritize the time according to FATHER’S Perfect Plan, Will, and Purpose.  Think it not strange to purpose each segment of time to fulfill HIS Plan.  Let HIM direct our path step by step and HE will keep us from harm’s way.

Being led by HIS SPIRIT requires us to change from being led by “self”.  What may have worked in the past will fail in the future if “self” has been our motivating force.  It is time we set aside self-serving ways and embrace the reality that without being led by THE SPIRIT we will not fulfill the fullness of our individual callings.  There is a time to wait on FATHER’S Instructions which must precede the time to act.  Once we have been charged with the task let us not delay in fulfilling HIS Word.  Consider the ways of the ant.

In Luke chapter 21 Jesus spoke:

34 “But take heed to yourselves, lest your hearts be weighed down with carousing, drunkenness, and cares of this life, and that Day come on you unexpectedly.

35 For it will come as a snare on all those who dwell on the face of the whole earth.

36 Watch therefore, and pray always that you may be counted worthy to escape all these things that will come to pass, and to stand before the Son of Man.”

37 And in the daytime He was teaching in the temple, but at night He went out and stayed on the mountain called Olivet.

38 Then early in the morning all the people came to Him in the temple to hear Him.

I find it interesting that Jesus preferred to stay in Bethany and only go into Jerusalem to minister.  His time of fellowship was away from the city.  Mount Olivet was near Bethany and Jesus would separate Himself and have private discussions with the disciples there.  People were drawn to Jesus and arose early in the morning to hear His Word.  The above passage is a warning to us about the times ahead.  “That Day” includes everyone who dwells on the face of the whole earth which includes you and me.  We are called to be prepared.

Now is not the time to be lethargic and focus on the temporal.  We should not concern ourselves with food, drink, and the cares of the world but instead we should direct our attention on the Spiritually important.  We can take care of daily duties without being consumed by them and compromising our mandate from Above.  Let us be always aware and prepared to minister as THE SPIRIT guides us.  Let us not be distracted by things that don’t really matter In the big picture.

We are to pray that we may be counted worthy to escape these things.  We must want, ask, seek, and desire of FATHER all things important to HIS Divine Intent for our lives.  As we walk in HIS Intent we are worthy to escape these things that will surely come to pass.

You may say “Well, nothing has happened nor does anything appear to be at hand which would shake the whole earth.”  I can tell you that at 7:01 AM on September 3rd of this year, everything seemed normal.  One minute later we experienced at 5.8 earthquake that shook this whole house for nearly a minute.  That was the largest earthquake in state history.  Jesus has warned us to expect the unexpected and prepare.  We must place our trust in FATHER and should start the day expecting to hear HIS Voice.

In John chapter 8 the Beloved Disciple wrote by THE SPIRIT:

1 But Jesus went to the Mount of Olives.

2 Now very early in the morning He came again into the temple, and all the people came to Him; and He sat down and taught them.

FATHER is willing to teach those who show up early in the morning.  How better than to start your day with a specific, relevant Word from FATHER!  This will serve you throughout the day and I see quite often that a circumstance will arise where I have been prepared to deal with it in accordance with FATHER’S early morning instruction.

Only those who are committed to be counted worthy will heed this warning.  What is more important than remaining in a state of preparedness?  As for me, I look forward to the early morning and hearing what in on FATHER’s Mind.

Thanks for the Love offerings and continued support.  May FATHER’S Blessings be poured out on your behalf and may the seed sown into this ministry produce good and plentiful fruit on behalf of the Kingdom!
