Knowledge alone does not resolve issues else the world would be at peace.  There is more knowledge around the globe than any time in history yet turmoil and chaos abound in virtually every nation.  What is lacking?  Wisdom.  In Proverbs chapter 4 The Spirit wrote:

7 ​​Wisdom is the principal (first) thing; ​​Therefore get wisdom.

​​And in all your getting, get understanding.

8 ​​Exalt her, and she will promote you;

​​She will bring you honor, when you embrace her.

9 ​​She will place on your head an ornament of grace;

​​A crown of glory she will deliver to you.”

Wisdom only comes from Our Heavenly Father.  You cannot get it from books or other man-generated materials even though men attempt to immerse themselves in so-called self-help, motivational, or success-based materials.  Wisdom does not come with old age and is not withheld from the young.  In Proverb chapter 2:

6 ​​For the LORD gives wisdom; ​​From His mouth come knowledge and understanding;

7 ​​He stores up sound wisdom for the upright; ​​He is a shield to those who walk uprightly;

FATHER reveals that HE is the Source of wisdom, understanding, and appropriate knowledge.  Revelation is only obtained through our relationship with FATHER, not by surfing the Internet or spending hours in the local library.  FATHER tells us the first thing to seek is wisdom, then understanding and knowledge.  Getting knowledge without wisdom will produce an inferior result and sometimes destruction will be the outcome.

8 ​​He guards the paths of justice, ​​And preserves the way of His saints.

9 ​​Then you will understand righteousness and justice, ​​Equity and every good path.

​10 ​​When wisdom enters your heart, ​​And knowledge is pleasant to your soul,

11 ​​Discretion will preserve you; ​​Understanding will keep you,

12 ​​To deliver you from the way of evil, ​​From the man who speaks perverse things

Wisdom guards us from evil and prevents us from proceeding down a wrong path by showing us “The Way” of Jesus Christ.  It acts to preserve us and deliver us from evil as well as the perversity which prevails in many areas of society today.  Paul wrote by THE SPIRIT in 1 Corinthians chapter 1:

30 But of Him you are in Christ Jesus, who became for us wisdom from God—and righteousness and sanctification and redemption

When we walk according to The Way of Jesus Christ, we become wisdom as well.  As Jesus is one with FATHER, so are we to become one with FATHER.  Love wants to give wisdom to those who will receive and properly dispense it.  If there is anything this world needs, it is wisdom from Above.  If we are having a problem with family, our job, finances, or relationships, it is actually a wisdom problem.  Wisdom will guide us into peace and success as we deal with the issues of life.  Those without wisdom tend to live their lives from one crisis to another and are always dealing with some type of scarcity.  Jesus Christ Who is the Wisdom of GOD has the answer to very need and every question so we should seek Wisdom from Above, not the latest self-help book or seminar.

In Proverbs chapter 8, Wisdom speaks:

​12 ​​“I, wisdom, dwell with prudence, ​​And find out knowledge and discretion.

And…

17 ​​I love those who love me, ​​And those who seek me diligently will find me.

18 ​​Riches and honor are with me, ​​Enduring riches and righteousness.

As we seek to be close to FATHER and HIS Most Holy Son, wisdom will come forth in our lives.  As we walk in Love and act in faith, wisdom will assure us we are on the right path and guide us through the turmoil and chaos all around us.  Given this Truth, why would we seek answers elsewhere?

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.”

As believers, we should be glorifying Our Heavenly Father by doing good works.  We should not only testify of HIS Love for mankind but we should show HIS Love by our acts toward others.  If every believer would perform at least one act of unconditional Love every day, I believe we would see a dramatic change in our nation in a short period of time.  As we sow seeds of Love, Love will be produced in others.  Our acts of Love glorify Our Heavenly Father and HE will supply us resources to perform even greater works.

Paul wrote by THE SPIRIT in Romans chapter 15:

1 We then who are strong ought to bear with the scruples (failings) of the weak, and not to please ourselves.

2 Let each of us please his neighbor for his good, leading to edification.

3 For even Christ did not please Himself; but as it is written, “The reproaches of those who reproached You fell on Me.”

4 For whatever things were written before were written for our learning, that we through the patience and comfort of the Scriptures might have hope.

5 Now may the God of patience and comfort grant you to be like-minded toward one another, according to Christ Jesus,

6 that you may with one mind and one mouth glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.

The strong are to bear the weaknesses of the weak rather than pleasing themselves.  Just as Jesus Christ sacrificed Himself for us, we should also sacrifice for those who are weaker than us.  The end result of bearing another’s burdens should be unity resulting in giving FATHER the glory for being able to bear each other’s burdens.  Jesus glorified FATHER by taking on the sins and sicknesses of the world by dying on the cross.  We should be willing to die to self and take on one another’s burdens.  When we do, we acknowledge the preeminence of Christ in our lives.  This results in giving FATHER the honor and glory HE deserves.

When we bear another’s burdens, we are exercising our faith in the Words of Jesus with respect to being a light.  As we exercise faith by walking in Love, we will experience joy as the recipient experiences unconditional Love.  It is a win-win for all.  Go forth today with an act of Agape Love to another person, preferably a stranger.  Ask FATHER to show you the person(s) to bless.  Pray that your act of Love is a seed planted in their heart resulting in Love rising up in them.  Let us be a light to the world.  How about making it a daily occurrence?  What an excellent way to glorify Our Heavenly Father!

Spiritual faith is believing what Our Heavenly Father says is true then acting on it.  Those who purpose to walk in unconditional Love are also urged to proceed toward walking in great faith in the same manner as our elder brother Jesus Christ.  He is our perfect example of a mature Son so why not expect to minister in like fashion.  Jesus spoke in Mark 16:

14 Later He 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 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 revealed FATHER’S Divine Intent for all disciples including you and me.  A disciple is a “follower,” someone who adheres completely to the teachings of another (Jesus Christ), making them his rule of life and conduct.  There is no room for unbelief and hardness of heart if a disciple expects to fulfill Jesus’ mandate of ministering to the world.  There will be many who will wax cold as the time approaches but there will be those of us who continue to diligently press in and are pleasing unto Our Heavenly Father.

At some point we should expect signs following, rather than following after signs.  Those who follow after signs fall into the “seeing is believing” group whereas FATHER expects us to be in the “believing is seeing” remnant.  As Paul stated by THE SPIRIT in 2 Corinthians chapter 5:

7  For we walk by faith, not by sight.

When we adhere to the teachings of Jesus, we express our faith in Him and are pleasing to FATHER and have begun to walk according to our purpose.  Notice how FATHER responded to Jesus when He was baptized by John:

13 Then Jesus came from Galilee to John at the Jordan to be baptized by him.

14 And John tried to prevent Him, saying, “I need to be baptized by You, and are You coming to me?”

15 But Jesus answered and said to him, “Permit it to be so now, for thus it is fitting for us to fulfill all righteousness.” Then he allowed Him.

16 When He had been baptized, Jesus came up immediately from the water; and behold, the heavens were opened to Him, and He saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and alighting upon Him.

17 And suddenly a voice came from heaven, saying, “This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.”

Jesus had been walking in faith for thirty years without any public ministry whatsoever.  He had performed no miracles of record nor had He preached the Gospel.  His baptism was the culmination of His preparation and His faith in His stated purpose was about to physically manifest.  FATHER was well pleased!

Let us not grow weary in our walk of faith but let us hold fast to our confession knowing that at some point the fullness of our purpose will manifest similar to Our Elder Brother.  Let us praise and glorify Our Heavenly Father daily knowing that HE is working in our lives according to HIS Divine Intent of Love.

We walk in some level of faith everyday.  We have faith when we use our telephones even though most of us do not understand how they can send and receive voice and data signals.  We have faith in the sun appearing in the east each morning even though we do not have a detailed understanding of how it can be so reliable.  There are many other examples of our faith and trust operating throughout each day.  In order to receive our salvation we had to once again exercise our faith in other areas:

Have faith in GOD.

Have faith in HIS Word

Have faith in Jesus Christ and His sacrificial death on the cross

We heard FATHER’S Word in the area of salvation, we believed, and we responded in faith.  Paul wrote by THE SPIRIT in Romans chapter 1:

16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first and also for the Greek.

17 For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; as it is written, “The just shall live by faith.”

We spend our lifetimes operating in faith at some level so when we have heard the Good News, it is not unreasonable to expect our redemption to take place.  Why do we not embrace the other redemptive promises of FATHER?  Redemption is a gift from FATHER, not something we earned.  Paul further wrote in Ephesians chapter 2:

8 For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God,

9 not of works, lest anyone should boast.

10 For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.

We have been informed that we are HIS workmanship and created for good works so we should make this our primary focus.  As we embrace the other redemptive promises of FATHER, we are better able to fulfill all the good works we were intended to perform.  Faith is a vital key to fulfilling our purpose.  It is written by THE SPIRIT in Hebrews chapter 11:

6 But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.

Diligence is a key word in the above passage.  The diligence means “careful attention, unremitting application, persistent endeavor.”  Everyone wants to be rewarded in some manner.  FATHER has revealed what action we should take to be pleasing unto HIM.  Those who are not diligent will miss out on HIS rewards which are tied to HIS redemptive promises.  Being an overcomer requires personal commitment even though some think otherwise.  FATHER’S Divine Intent gives way to our individual right of choice because HE wants us to choose to serve the Kingdom rather than be a slave.

As we walk according to The Way of Jesus Christ, we will become pleasing to FATHER and in turn we enable HIM to operate in our lives by providing all our needs according to HIS riches.  Let us direct our faith toward HIM and HIS promises rather than the world and its empty or temporary promises.  When our faith is directed toward the Word of GOD, good fruit is produced in our lives.  Those who walk in agape Love desire good fruit to feed others who are in need.  Let our faith become energized because we walk in Love and desire to be blessings to others.  What a great use of our faith!

It is written by THE SPIRIT in Psalm 150, the final Psalm:

1 Praise the LORD!

​​​Praise God in His sanctuary;

​​Praise Him in His mighty firmament!

​2 ​​Praise Him for His mighty acts;

​​Praise Him according to His excellent greatness!

​3 ​​Praise Him with the sound of the trumpet;

​​Praise Him with the lute and harp!

4 ​​Praise Him with the timbrel and dance;

​​Praise Him with stringed instruments and flutes!

5 ​​Praise Him with loud cymbals;

​​Praise Him with clashing cymbals!

​6 ​​Let everything that has breath praise the LORD.

​​​Praise the LORD!

When we praise The LORD, we acknowledge HIS preeminence in our lives.  This expression of gratitude also builds our faith IN HIM.  When we give FATHER praise, we are acting upon HIS Word and telling our body to line up with HIS Word in all areas.  When we pray according to The Word, we are to express praise and gratitude for the answer to our prayer.  We should also have corresponding expectations and actions according to our request.  James wrote by THE SPIRIT in chapter 2:

17 Thus also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead.

Many believers miss this point when they pray.  First, we must know what FATHER’S redemptive promises are in the area of our need.  Second, we pray according to HIS will to answer our petition.  Third, we give HIM the praise for answering our prayer.  Fourth, we act in faith, doubting not.  The third and fourth steps is where many have difficulty.  Our ego would challenge us when we express praise for something we have yet to see.  We may be told we look stupid when we confess the result before its physical manifestation.  Who cares?  The Spiritual realm is everlasting whereas the physical realm is temporary by nature.  I would rather trust in the everlasting than rely on something that is always changing.

As I thank FATHER for the answer to my prayer, I am acknowledging HIM as being superior to my current, temporary situation.  The more I praise FATHER, the more good seed is planted in my heart.  Seed enters our hearts through our eyes and ears.  What we listen to impacts what our heart receives.  The children of Israel heard two different reports about the Promised Land in Numbers chapter 13:

30 Then Caleb quieted the people before Moses, and said, “Let us go up at once and take possession, for we are well able to overcome it.”

31 But the men who had gone up with him said, “We are not able to go up against the people, for they are stronger than we.”

32 And they gave the children of Israel a bad report of the land which they had spied out, saying, “The land through which we have gone as spies is a land that devours its inhabitants, and all the people whom we saw in it are men of great stature.

33 There we saw the giants (the descendants of Anak came from the giants); and we were like grasshoppers in our own sight, and so we were in their sight.”

Only two men embraced FATHER’S Word concerning the Promised Land and aligned their thoughts and words with HIM.  The rest of the people rejected HIS Word and planted seeds of unbelief in their hearts resulting in their death before they could enter the land.  We must feed our hearts with FATHER’S Word and our expressed acknowledgment and praise.  Our ears hear the confirming praise from our lips and reinforce the growth of the good seed.  When our eyes see our actions which line up with HIS Word, further reinforcement occurs.  Our faith grows stronger as we give praise and act according to HIS Word.  The manifested answer to our petition will come forth as we doubt not but remain steadfast in faith.  Once manifestation occurs, we have a fresh testimony to share with others.

Carefully read the following.  Jesus spoke in Matthew chapter 13:

10 And the disciples came and said to Him, “Why do You speak to them in parables?”

11 He answered and said to them, “Because it has been given to you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it has not been given.

12 For whoever has, to him more will be given, and he will have abundance; but whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him.

13 Therefore I speak to them in parables, because seeing they do not see, and hearing they do not hear, nor do they understand.

14 And in them the prophecy of Isaiah is fulfilled, which says:

​​‘​Hearing you will hear and shall not understand, ​​And seeing you will see and not perceive;

15 ​​For the hearts of this people have grown dull. ​​Their ears are hard of hearing,

​​And their eyes they have closed, ​​Lest they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears,

​​Lest they should understand with their hearts and turn, ​​So that I should heal them.’

We have been given the ability to know the mysteries of the Kingdom of Heaven and those mysteries are not hidden from us, but are in plain sight for all to grasp if they are only willing to believe.  Jesus further stated that we will have abundance in an unrestricted fashion for this is the nature of Our Heavenly Father.  It is not HIS Intent to restrict us from sufficiency in any area of our lives if we ask according to HIS will.  After all, HE is Jehovah Jireh, our Provider.

Those who do not have the revelation of the seven redemptive promises of FATHER will live in scarcity and ultimately lose what little they have.  Their hearts have grown dull which indicates that at one time they could have heard and responded to the Gospel.  Without seeing and hearing, they are unable to understand the mysteries which are before their very eyes.  How do you grow dull of seeing and hearing?  By allowing the noise of the world to overpower your spiritual eyes and ears.  You pay close attention to what the world is promoting at the expense of the spiritual.

It is up to each of us to protect our hearts so that we can receive the fullness of the seven redemptive promises of FATHER.  We must intently focus on FATHER’S Word and turn away from the ways of the world.  We are to repent of our past worldly desires and plant only good seed into our hearts.  We must let patience have its perfect work and know what has been authorized and imparted in the spiritual realm is being manifested on our behalf in the physical realm.  Faith requires steadfastness while manifestation is occurring.

We are to know the mysteries because we trust FATHER more than we trust the temporary state which is in the world.  Jesus spoke in Mark chapter 11:

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”.

FATHER has the power and resources to remove any obstacle set before us but HE requires us to have faith in HIM.  In order to obtain results from prayer, we must believe the result when we pray, not when it later manifests.  The chronology is pray, believe, then manifestation, not pray, manifestation, then believe.  Our trust in FATHER must be greater than our trust in the five physical senses.  This is just one of the mysteries Jesus revealed to those who have ears to hear. 

Jesus revealed FATHER’S seven characteristics which reflect HIS seven promises.  Those with spiritual eyes and ears are given the ability to embrace all seven if they will only believe.  The seven promises appear to be mysteries out of reach to those who have grown dull of seeing and hearing.  Let us seize the opportunity set before us this day to embrace these mysteries.

Once we have been made fully aware of FATHER’S seven redemptive promises, each of us has a decision to make.  Am I satisfied in my current state or am I willing to pursue the fullness of all the promises?  All believers have accepted the promise of redemption but most stop there.  I am convinced that the fully matured Sons will have pursued all seven redemptive promises and will begin to produce fruit in each area, at some point.  Jesus is our perfect example of One who walked in all aspects of these promises and we should look to Him for our encouragement to pursue the fullness of FATHER’S promises.

Our challenge is dealing with our mind, will, and emotions.  The battleground is in the mind where we process all of the external input from the world.  Paul wrote by THE SPIRIT in 2 Corinthians chapter 5:

7 For we walk by faith, not by sight.

There is so much noise directed to us by the world, it can be difficult to protect ourselves from the world’s influence.  People will pressure us to submit to their worldly views and ways but we must not allow their influence to keep us from embracing those promises we have yet to walk in by faith.  Paul’s prayer for us is written in Ephesians chapter 1:

17 that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him,

18 the eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that you may know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints,

19 and what is the exceeding greatness of His power toward us who believe, according to the working of His mighty power

20 which He worked in Christ when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly places,

21 far above all principality and power and might and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age but also in that which is to come.

Our advocate Jesus Christ has provided the means for us to receive all seven redemptive promises and now He advocates at FATHER’S right hand.  FATHER sees us through the Blood of HIS Son and we have been given the gift of right standing with FATHER so let us go boldly to the Throne in Love, by faith, and pursue the fullness of these seven redemptive promises.  We will truly be overcomers and mature Sons as we fully embrace all that Jesus provided at the cross.  In the Revelation of Jesus Christ, the Beloved Disciple wrote by THE SPIRIT:

10 Then I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, “Now salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of His Christ have come, for the accuser of our brethren, who accused them before our God day and night, has been cast down.

11 And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, and they did not love their lives to the death.

Let us receive the revelation and walk in the seven redemptive promises and as a result we will have testimonies to be an encouragement to others in their pursuit of maturity in Christ.

FATHER spoke in Exodus chapter 17:

14 Then the LORD said to Moses, “Write this for a memorial in the book and recount it in the hearing of Joshua, that I will utterly blot out the remembrance of Amalek from under heaven.”

15 And Moses built an altar and called its name, The-LORD-Is-My-Banner of Victory (Jehovah Nissi)

Seven is the perfect, complete number in Scripture and this final redemptive promise provides us with total victory over sin, sickness, disease, death, scarcity, insufficiency, and deception.   FATHER is in the miracle-working business and has provided for our victory in every aspect of our lives.  Paul wrote by THE SPIRIT in Colossians chapter 2:

14 Christ having wiped out the handwriting of requirements that was against us, which was contrary to us. And He has taken it out of the way, having nailed it to the cross.

15 Having disarmed principalities and powers, He made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them in it.

Our victory was obtained by Our Lord Jesus Christ at the cross.  He provided the legal means for us to attain complete victory and this victory is available to all that ask according to FATHER’S Word and Divine Intent.  None of us deserved victory yet Christ obtained that victory because of His Love for each of us.  Paul also wrote by THE SPIRIT in 1 Corinthians chapter 15:

53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.

54 So when this corruptible has put on incorruption, and this mortal has put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written: “Death is swallowed up in victory.”

​55 ​​“O Death, where is your sting?

​​O Hades, where is your victory?”

​56 The sting of death is sin, and the strength of sin is the law.

57 But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

We must not let man’s doctrines and traditions direct our attention away from the work of Our Lord Jesus Christ on the cross.  His victory has provided the seven redemptive promises revealed by FATHER’S seven descriptive names.  Jesus manifested those seven, perfect characteristics as He fulfilled His purpose on our behalf.  As we exalt Christ’s work in our lives, we will build up our faith to receive the completeness of victory in accordance with these promises.  Let us not fall short and be satisfied with a subset of these promises.  Let us not become lax in our commitment to embrace all seven promises for once we do, victory is assured.

By THE SPIRIT, Paul expressed FATHER’S everlasting Love in Romans chapter 8:

37 Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us.

38 For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come,

39 nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Love is the foundation for our victory so let us make sure that our foundation of Love is uncontaminated by the world.  Unconditional Love is the basis for FATHER’S seven redemptive promises and our resulting victory.  Our victory only became available to us because Jesus went to the cross out of His unconditional Love for us while we were still sinners.  The result: “We love Him because He first loved us.”

Ezekiel wrote by THE SPIRIT in chapter 48:

35 All the way around shall be eighteen thousand cubits; and the name of the city from that day shall be: THE LORD IS THERE, EVER PRESENT (Jehovah shammah).”

Jesus open THE WAY for us to come back into FATHER’S presence.  Jesus revealed this in John chapter 14:

6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.”

This statement reflects the simplicity of The Gospel.  FATHER is not on some distant planet and unavailable for fellowship, but HE awaits HIS Sons and Daughters to enter into the fullness of The Way, the Truth, and the fullness of life.   We don’t need to spend countless hours dissecting Scripture, looking for hidden meanings only revealed to those of advanced I.Q.’s.  The Way is open to all who seek the path no matter what age, intellect, or background.

In John chapter 8, Jesus spoke:

31 Then Jesus said to those Jews who believed Him, “If you abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed.

32 And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.”

By abiding in HIS Word, we are designated as Jesus’ disciples.  As a result, we shall know The Truth which will set us free from the deceptions and ignorance of the world’s logic and reasoning.  Based on this simple reality, shouldn’t I place the highest priority in abiding in HIS Word?  Paul wrote by THE SPIRIT in Galatians chapter 3:

26 For you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus.

27 For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ.

28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus.

29 And if you are Christ’s, then you are Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise.

Through our redemption, we have become Sons of Our Heavenly Father and we are fully restored and are able to enter into HIS presence.  HE gave us this promise to specifically invite us to commune with HIM and experience our inheritance through HIM.  What are we to inherit?  All of HIS riches in glory.  Are there limitations to those who walk in Love?  Absolutely not.  FATHER withholds nothing from those who have aligned themselves with HIM.  It is HIS good pleasure to supply all our needs.  As we become one with Christ Jesus, we open the windows of Heaven to supply whatever is required for us to fulfill our individual callings.

By THE SPIRIT, Paul wrote in Romans chapter 8:

1 There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.

2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death.

One obstacle many believers deal with is condemnation.  The source of this condemnation is from the adversary who attempts to instill doubt in our minds concerning our ability to enter into the presence of FATHER.  It is not by our own righteousness that we enter in, but it is Christ’s gift of righteousness which provides us entry.  We must not allow our minds to convince us of some standard we must attain before we are worthy to enter into FATHER’S presence.  Jesus satisfied all the requirements on our behalf.  Let us not dilute HIS act of Love in any way.  It is written in Hebrews chapter 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.

Most all believers accept the fact we will stand before FATHER after we physically pass away.  Why not embrace The Way now and come boldly to the throne of grace?  Jesus invited us to enter into FATHER’S presence now so let us set our priorities accordingly by abiding in HIS Word.  This will give us the freedom to enter into HIS Presence.

It is written by THE SPIRIT in Genesis chapter 22:

13 Then Abraham lifted his eyes and looked, and there behind him was a ram caught in a thicket by its horns. So Abraham went and took the ram, and offered it up for a burnt offering instead of his son.

14 And Abraham called the name of the place, The-LORD-Will-Provide (Jehovah jireh); as it is said to this day, “In the Mount of the LORD it shall be provided.”

FATHER is our provider, our primary source of provision.  It is HIS Loving nature to provide for you and me.  When HE placed Adam and Eve in the garden, there was plenty of provision for them.  Only when they succumbed to the devil’s deception did their provision begin to dry up.  However, when Abraham was walking in obedience to FATHER, the provision came forth once again.  Jesus manifested FATHER’S Divine Intent when He fed the multitude.  Paul expressed FATHER’S Intent when he wrote by THE SPIRIT in Philippians chapter 4:

19 And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.

In Genesis chapter 1, FATHER commanded Adam and Eve to be fruitful and multiply:

28 Then God blessed them, and God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it; have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over every living thing that moves on the earth.”

29 And God said, “See, I have given you every herb that yields seed which is on the face of all the earth, and every tree whose fruit yields seed; to you it shall be for food.

30 Also, to every beast of the earth, to every bird of the air, and to everything that creeps on the earth, in which there is life, I have given every green herb for food”; and it was so.

We were not to be born into slavery to men or systems but we are to have dominion over the earth and every living thing.  FATHER has provided sufficient provision for all of mankind even though men would promote the idea of scarcity and insufficiency.  Without FATHER’S Wisdom and guidance, mankind is unable to discover the key to sufficiency.  FATHER knows what works and what doesn’t but HE will not give understanding of HIS riches to men who will consume HIS resources in their own lust and greed.

FATHER provided Jesus and His disciples whatever was needed to sustain their ministry on earth.  Whether it be miracles of multiplying fish and bread or moving upon people to give, FATHER supplied all their need.  HIS Divine Intent has not changed to this very day.  The Beloved Disciple wrote by THE SPIRIT in 3 John:

2 Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers.

3 For I rejoiced greatly when brethren came and testified of the truth that is in you, just as you walk in the truth.

4 I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth.

In order to prosper, we must walk in the Truth, not the religious doctrine promoted by those who added their bias to FATHER’S Way.  If a promise did not work for them, they rationalized away their failure by attempting to negate the veracity of The Word.  They would use excuses that FATHER’S promises were only applicable while Jesus walked the earth even though The Word plainly states in Hebrews chapter 13:

8 Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.

Let us embrace this promise of FATHER being our provision and expect FATHER to open the windows of Heaven and prosper everything we set our hand by standing on HIS Word in Truth and faith.
