Who Is Foolish?

Thursday, July 12th, 2018

Paul wrote by THE SPIRIT in 1 Corinthians chapter 1:

18 For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.

19 For it is written:

​​​“I will destroy the wisdom of the wise,

​​And bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent.”

20 Where is the wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the disputer of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of this world?

21 For since, in the wisdom of God, the world through wisdom did not know God, it pleased God through the foolishness of the message preached to save those who believe.

22 For Jews request a sign, and Greeks seek after wisdom;

23 but we preach Christ crucified, to the Jews a stumbling block and to the Greeks foolishness,

24 but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God.

25 Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men.

It is amusing to look back at the “wisdom of the wise” of this world in just about any category of history.  First of all, they are all dead and their wisdom did not defy physical death.  Secondly, those who accumulated wealth did not take any of it with them.  What was the point to their excessive focus on wealth?  None.  Thirdly, most doctors did not outlive many of their patients so their training did not extend their lives.  So much for the wisdom of the world.

FATHER’S Wisdom surpasses man’s ability to fully understand HIS ways.  After all, man was created to be lower than GOD, not equal, thus his capacity to bring the earth into full subjection without GOD just won’t happen. 

FATHER established a set of laws governing all aspects of HIS creation and left nothing to chance.  Each law complements the other laws in some order and fashion.  Is it better to seek to discover, know, and use all the laws FATHER established or know the ONE WHO established the laws and be led by HIS SPIRIT and HIS Wisdom in all matters?  What a simple answer yet man continues to select and be guided by the wrong answer and finds himself perpetually in bondage under the law of scarcity.

Men go to war because of their scarcity orientation and their quest for power which is always short-lived.  What foolishness!  Men and women try to change their gender because of their confused emotional state.  Did FATHER get it wrong in the womb?  I think not.  HIS Wisdom, understanding, knowledge, and skill were all fully activate when HE formed each of us in the womb.  Sorry, HE did not make a mistake so the solution to the confusion isn’t resolved by surgery and drugs, it is found elsewhere.

Jesus consistently defied man’s wisdom as He preached and healed the people.  The brightest doctors of the time were unable to heal the people yet Jesus healed them all.  To this day, modern medicine cannot restore a leper but Jesus did and still can.  To this day, the brightest minds cannot multiply loaves and fishes to feed the hungry.  Jesus revealed the foolishness of man during His earthly ministry.  Man’s stubbornness is centered around his ego.  How wise is it to live a life of scarcity while you are trying to disprove the power of the cross and resurrection of Jesus Christ?

Doesn’t wisdom simply tell us to look at the history of the earth and man to see those who were blessed and those who were cursed?  Why should any of us spend one more day pursuing man’s solution to the problems persistently plaguing the world when we have a solution to our problems staring us in the eye?  Quit listening to your ego’s attempt to call anything foolish which you don’t understand.  Simply be led by The Holy Spirit and fellowship with FATHER for HE will instruct us in Truth and lead us into all understanding.  The simplicity of HIS directives will defy the wisdom of the world and they will stand in bewilderment at our success.  Who are truly the foolish ones?

Unanswered Prayers Of The Past

Wednesday, July 11th, 2018

Have you prayed in the past and never received the answer or resolution to your petition?  It wasn’t that FATHER was unavailable or too busy, the problem revolves around our lack of knowledge, understanding, or faith.  We are given an example of unanswered prayer when we come down with sickness or disease.  James wrote by THE SPIRIT in chapter 5:

13 Is anyone among you suffering? Let him pray. Is anyone cheerful? Let him sing psalms.

14 Is anyone among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord.

15 And the prayer of faith will save the sick, and the Lord will raise him up. And if he has committed sins, he will be forgiven.

16 Confess your trespasses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much.

The above passage deals with several issues associated with prayer.  If we are suffering, we should pray.  In order to receive an answer to prayer, we must know what Jesus died for when He went to the cross.  He clearly died for the restoration of our souls and our bodies so we should not hesitate to pray concerning afflictions in either area.  Our prayer must be accompanied by faith and faith comes by hearing and receiving the Word.  If we don’t know the Word, then how can we be assured that we are praying according to FATHER’S Will?  James accounts for those who are weak in this area by having the “elders” pray.  The elders are those who are fully equipped to pray for others because they have the revelation in regard to praying for the sick… they have faith.  The elders have a history of fruitfulness and know FATHER hears them because they know HIS promises and have had success in this area.  These writings are intended to mature the reader and achieve the same success experienced by the elders mentioned above.

We must let go of the unanswered prayers of the past and focus on the “now”.  Repent and move on.  People get into analysis paralysis and keep themselves from focusing on today.  If we are unfruitful in an area, the problem lies with us, not FATHER.  We need to focus on HIS promises and immerse ourselves in the Word applicable to our situation.  We must admit our past mistakes and any unrighteousness FATHER shows us concerning our past.  Let all the wood, hay, and stubble be removed from our midst so that our prayers will become effective and we no longer ask amiss.  Let us pray in a fervent, sincere manner.

Some people pray for things that are contrary to their purpose.  They are often drawn away by lust and pursue another path which is not meant for them.  James wrote in chapter 4:

1 Where do wars and fights come from among you? Do they not come from your desires for pleasure that war in your members?

2 You lust and do not have. You murder and covet and cannot obtain. You fight and war. Yet you do not have because you do not ask.

3 You ask and do not receive, because you ask amiss, that you may spend it on your pleasures.

4 Adulterers and adulteresses! Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Whoever therefore wants to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God.

5 Or do you think that the Scripture says in vain, “The Spirit who dwells in us yearns jealously”?

6 But He gives more grace. Therefore He says:

​​​“God resists the proud,

​​But gives grace to the humble.”

When we pray for things that move us away from our relationship with FATHER, HE will not respond to our request.  Soulish pleasures which promote lawlessness will certainly cause a break in fellowship with FATHER.  HE is not against us having nice things as long as we are not moved by our possessions.  HIS Tabernacle in the wilderness was exquisite but it did not impact HIS Character or change HIS Divine Will.  If we ask for something that will negatively impact our purpose and negatively affect our path, we are asking amiss.

Let us bury the past and repent of those unanswered prayers that have become hindrances to our current prayer life.  Let our prayers conform to the promises in Scripture we know to be HIS Word applicable to our situation.  If we don’t know HIS Word in an area, let us study to show ourselves approved.  Let the Word dwell richly in our hearts so that we can be effective when we pray.

Trust Is The Issue

Tuesday, July 10th, 2018

In Genesis chapter 2, FATHER spoke:

15 Then the LORD God took the man and put him in the garden of Eden to tend and keep it.

16 And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, “Of every tree of the garden you may freely eat;

17 but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die.”

This is the first instance of FATHER speaking a commandment (a Divine rule) to man.  FATHER fully intended for man to trust HIM and abide by the rule set forth.  Adam knew FATHER and also knew that HE created Heaven and earth, yet in his own soul, he had the ability to distrust as well.  This commandment had not been challenged or distrusted so man had not yet seen the consequences of breaking this rule.  Adam was to soon find out the ramifications of distrusting FATHER when he and Eve were removed from the garden and direct fellowship with FATHER.

In Genesis chapter 3:

1 Now the serpent was more cunning than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said to the woman, “Has God indeed said, ‘You shall not eat of every tree of the garden’?”

2 And the woman said to the serpent, “We may eat the fruit of the trees of the garden;

3 but of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God has said, ‘You shall not eat it, nor shall you touch it, lest you die.’ ”

4 Then the serpent said to the woman, “You will not surely die.

5 For God knows that in the day you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.”

The serpent appealed to man’s logic.  After all, there was no evidence of the ramification of breaking the commandment; nothing written, no history to assess, only FATHER’S Word.  Trust focuses on expected acts and events of the future.  It is closely tied to faith and belief.  FATHER has given us HIS Word to trust so that we will not die, but have everlasting life.  Is there anyone else with the ability or capacity to make such a statement?  Can the created supersede the Creator’s Word?  Who is more trustworthy than Jesus Christ, the manifested Word of GOD?  Who has a more pure motive for out best interest than the One Who created us?

There are many who claim or insinuate they are prophets, but can we trust their prophecies?  If their prophecies do not come to pass, they are false prophets and those who have closely followed them have generally received some form of damage in their lives.  We must be careful who we place our trust in even though they appear to be well educated or well informed.  They may have been somewhat successful in their predictions of past events but that does not make them a prophet.  After all, you have a 50% chance of picking a winner in any game.  We must place our trust and focus on FATHER’S Word and the Words given to us by The Holy Spirit.  I have been duped many times in the past by so-called prophets myself.  Some may prophesy and steer clear of saying anything that would directly challenge the written Word.  This is when we must rely on The Holy Spirit to be our witness, not our logic or flesh.

Jesus warned us of false prophets in Matthew chapter 7:

15 “Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves.

16 You will know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes from thorn bushes or figs from thistles?

17 Even so, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit.

18 A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit.

19 Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.

20 Therefore by their fruits you will know them.

Each of us has a responsibility to observe the fruit of those who lead us to believe they are prophets.  We must be fruit inspectors.  If the “prophet’s” word does not come true, or if he promotes a course of action as though FATHER directed it and it does not produce good fruit, then we must steer clear of them.  Jesus said to beware of them for there are negative consequences of following them.  I trust the Words of Jesus and you should too.

Quit Waiting

Monday, July 9th, 2018

Many believers are content to focus only on prophecy because they want to rely on some future date for the miraculous power from On High to come down and suddenly anoint them to minister.  In the meantime, people are suffering and dying around them on a daily basis.  Paul wrote by THE SPIRIT in 2 Corinthians chapter 6:

1 We then, as workers together with Him also plead with you not to receive the grace of God in vain.

2 For He says:

​​​“In an acceptable time I have heard you,

​​And in the day of salvation I have helped you.”

Behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.

Each day you and I should walk in the sensitivity of The Holy Spirit.  Now is the time to minister Love to those around us, not on some future date.  We don’t need a sign or wait until some feast day to minister life to those who are in desperate need.  Did Jesus wait until Sunday to heal the sick and preach the Gospel?  Did He say “I am conducting revivals only on Passover, Pentecost, and Tabernacles.”?  Does FATHER only answer prayers certain times of the year and leave us to our own devices during off days?  I can assure you that every one of these writings which are posted virtually every day are given to me by HIS SPIRIT else I would only write a few times each year.  I thank FATHER that HE is a now GOD, not a future GOD or a past GOD.  HE is “I AM”, not I WAS or I WILL BE.

Jesus spoke in Luke chapter 12:

16 Then He spoke a parable to them, saying: “The ground of a certain rich man yielded plentifully.

17 And he thought within himself, saying, ‘What shall I do, since I have no room to store my crops?’

18 So he said, ‘I will do this: I will pull down my barns and build greater, and there I will store all my crops and my goods.

19 And I will say to my soul, “Soul, you have many goods laid up for many years; take your ease; eat, drink, and be merry.” ’

20 But God said to him, ‘Fool! This night your soul will be required of you; then whose will those things be which you have provided?’

21 “So is he who lays up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God.”

People often lift wealthy people up on a pedestal because they think they have some type of special “anointing” on them.  I have seen this sad reality many times over the years.  People want to be closely associated with a wealthy person as though some of their wealth will transfer to them  and impact their future ability to gain wealth.  Their words and actions simply feed the ego of the wealthy person as well as their own.  In the meantime, they pass up many opportunities to minister to those in need.  The above parable provides the reality of the temporary nature of wealth and the sadness connected to its hold on people.  The rich man was found lacking in his relationship with GOD.  The rich man was a short-term thinker and lacked true wisdom.  We must realize that as we fulfill our purpose and fellowship with FATHER, HE will bless the work of our hands and we will have sufficiency.  As Jesus said, “Watch out and guard yourselves against every form of greed; for not even when one has an overflowing abundance does his life consist of nor is it derived from his possessions.”

We don’t have to wait until we have achieved some milestone in our life in order to serve FATHER in some capacity.  We can and should be walking now according to HIS SPIRIT.  Now is the accepted time; now is the day of salvation!  Quit waiting.

Stirring Up Your Pure Minds

Sunday, July 8th, 2018

Peter wrote by THE SPIRIT in his 2 epistle chapter 3:

1 Beloved, I now write to you this second epistle (in both of which I stir up your pure minds by way of reminder),

2 that you may be mindful of the words which were spoken before by the holy prophets, and of the commandment of us, the apostles of the Lord and Savior,

3 knowing this first: that scoffers will come in the last days, walking according to their own lusts,

4 and saying, “Where is the promise of His coming? For since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of creation.”

5 For this they willfully forget: that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of water and in the water,

6 by which the world that then existed perished, being flooded with water.

7 But the heavens and the earth which are now preserved by the same word, are reserved for fire until the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.

Are you ready for a major societal change on the earth?  I know I am.  Nations continue on the precipice of war, economies are teetering toward collapse, and lawlessness is abounding.  However, FATHER is not slack in HIS judgment nor HIS longsuffering:

8 But, beloved, do not forget this one thing, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.

9 The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.

It is critical for us to focus on our individual purposes rather than world events.  FATHER will administer change on this earth according to HIS timing, not ours.  HE continues to mature HIS remnant so at the appropriate time, the remnant will be lifted up as a worldwide standard and expose the sin and lawlessness which has crept into society.  HE will express HIS power and authority through those who have maintained pure hearts and minds in the midst of all this lawlessness.  Those who continue in HIS Word and implicitly trust It will be rewarded accordingly.  It is not how you start the race that counts, it is how you end it.

Paul wrote by THE SPIRIT in Ephesians chapter 2:

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

We must hold onto this revelation no matter what challenge comes our way.  Let us not be discouraged by what we see and hear but let us rest in the Truth that we are HIS workmanship and placed on this earth at this time to fulfill HIS Will.  When we truly grasp this particular verse, we will rest though chaos is all around us.  We will not be moved by world events or the rhetoric of those who are in power… temporarily.  FATHER will lift up men and women who HE determines to be vessels of honor to be a light unto the world.  The vessels will be fully empowered to express HIS Divine Intent moment by moment.  Signs and wonders will follow this ministry so that there will be no question left in anyone’s mind.  The harvest will truly be great and the focus of men will turn back to the Kingdom.  Heaven will come to earth and spread like wildfire.  The fiery Word will come forth from the mouths of the remnant and will burn away the wood, hay, and stubble of the doctrines of men.

Are you feeling a little discouraged?  If so, stir up your mind with HIS promises for HE is not slack concerning them!

My Gratefulness To FATHER

Saturday, July 7th, 2018

One year ago, I was within days of death.  For the fifth time, FATHER delivered me from the adversary and certain death.  Some of you may have come close to death as well and have a greater appreciation for the following Psalm.  Once you have had an experience of this nature, it changes your priorities and your boldness for THE LORD increases.  Your interest in worldly things decreases and you understand that relationships and fellowship is what life is all about.  It seems as those your capacity to Love increases as well even though it was there all the time but you didn’t realize it.  Dwell and meditate on this Psalm today and you will be blessed with peace and rest:

Psalm 116:

1  I love the Lord, because He hears [and continues to hear]
My voice and my supplications (my pleas, my cries, my specific needs).

2  Because He has inclined His ear to me,
Therefore I will call on Him as long as I live.

3  The cords and sorrows of death encompassed me,
And the terrors of Sheol came upon me;
I found distress and sorrow.

4  Then I called on the name of the Lord:
“O Lord, please save my life!”

5  Gracious is the Lord, and [consistently] righteous;
Yes, our God is compassionate.

6  The Lord protects the simple (childlike);
I was brought low [humbled and discouraged], and He saved me.

7  Return to your rest, O my soul,
For the Lord has dealt bountifully with you.

8  For You have rescued my life from death,
My eyes from tears,
And my feet from stumbling and falling.

9  I will walk [in submissive wonder] before the Lord
In the land of the living.

10  I believed [and clung to my God] when I said,
“I am greatly afflicted.”

11  I said in my alarm,
“All men are liars.”

12  What will I give to the Lord [in return]
For all His benefits toward me?
[How can I repay Him for His precious blessings?]

13  I will lift up the cup of salvation
And call on the name of the Lord.

14  I will pay my vows to the Lord,
Yes, in the presence of all His people.

15  Precious [and of great consequence] in the sight of the Lord
Is the death of His godly ones [so He watches over them].

16  O Lord, truly I am Your servant;
I am Your servant, the son of Your handmaid;
You have unfastened my chains.

17  I will offer to You the sacrifice of thanksgiving,
And will call on the name of the Lord.

18  I will pay my vows to the Lord,
Yes, in the presence of all His people,

19  In the courts of the Lord’s house (temple)—
In the midst of you, O Jerusalem.
Praise the Lord! (Hallelujah!)  (AMPL)

Overflowing Love

Friday, July 6th, 2018

David wrote by THE SPIRIT in Psalm chapter 86:

5  For You, O Lord, are good, and ready to forgive [our sins, sending them away, completely letting them go forever and ever];
And abundant in lovingkindness and overflowing in mercy to all those who call upon You.

6  Hear, O Lord, my prayer;
And listen attentively to the voice of my supplications (specific requests)!

7  In the day of my trouble I will call upon You,
For You will answer me.  (AMPL)

FATHER is a willing Listener and desires to answer our prayers.  The primary issue in receiving an answer to prayer is our unbelief.  Throughout history, FATHER has had a remnant who dared to look beyond the circumstances of the world and fully trusted in FATHER’S Word.  They were not moved by what they saw but were attentive to FATHER’S Voice.  FATHER’S Love has been expressed toward us time and time again.  When we allow ourselves to flow in HIS Love, people’s hearts are touched.  When we become lukewarm and no longer seek FATHER, the world enters in and we become “scarcity” oriented and then we slowly move toward the world’s way of thinking.  Yes, we may go through what is now tradition, but we no longer seek FATHER with our hearts.  Let us repent of any lukewarm-ness found within any aspect of our being.

Each of us will go through a day of trouble and some would say “days, weeks, months, or years” of trouble.  This is when we find out what our real commitment is in Christ.   You can coast along when there are no serious issues and think that you are strong in THE LORD, but when the afflictions come, your beliefs are tested.  FATHER is always available and willing to hear our requests and HE never changes in HIS willingness and desire.  HE is as interested in answering our prayers as HE was when David called upon HIM thousands of years ago.

It can be a challenge to remain fervent when you have had no issues for an extended period of time.  However if our Love is fully matured, we will long to be in FATHER’S presence daily just as we would with someone we are deeply in Love with such as a spouse or close friend.  Fellowship and communion are the sweetest aspects of our walk on earth.  The same is true of our spiritual relationship with FATHER.

FATHER’S mercy is overflowing thus there is an abundance of HIS Love toward us.  Let us tap into HIS Love which in turn will cause us to be overflowing in Love toward others.  Those days of trouble will be turned into days of blessing.  The adversary has no response to the flow of Love among FATHER’S Sons and Daughters.  The world is full of trouble and is ripe for the introduction of Agape Love.  Let us be fervent in our prayers, full of belief and faith so that our requests are met and answered by a willing FATHER.  This is just one aspect of being a light unto the world.

Astonished

Thursday, July 5th, 2018

After Jesus taught what we now call The Sermon on the Mount, Matthew recorded in chapter 7:

28 And so it was, when Jesus had ended these sayings, that the people were astonished at His teaching,

29 for He taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes.

And in Matthew chapter 13:

53 Now it came to pass, when Jesus had finished these parables, that He departed from there.

54 When He had come to His own country, He taught them in their synagogue, so that they were astonished and said, “Where did this Man get this wisdom and these mighty works?

55 Is this not the carpenter’s son? Is not His mother called Mary? And His brothers James, Joses, Simon, and Judas?

56 And His sisters, are they not all with us? Where then did this Man get all these things?”

57 So they were offended at Him.

When the mature Sons and Daughters are revealed by walking in FATHER’S full power and authority, people will once again be astonished.  Some will embrace the ministry of the Remnant while others will be offended and reject the Sons and Daughters because of their unbelief.  Don’t be surprised when this rejection occurs for people want to live in the past and base their current beliefs with past perceptions.  Even the disciples were astonished at Jesus’ teachings as He spoke in Matthew chapter 19:

23 Then Jesus said to His disciples, “Assuredly, I say to you that it is hard for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven.

24 And again I say to you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.”

25 When His disciples heard it, they were greatly astonished, saying, “Who then can be saved?”

26 But Jesus looked at them and said to them, “With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”

FATHER is not restricted to our past when HE empowers us in the “now”.  We only need to look at the disciples before and after the cross to see that FATHER is able to empower anyone, no matter what their previous beliefs would suggest.  FATHER has hidden HIS remnant among the people and HE will empower those who were designated for HIS purpose when HE formed them in the womb.  The Blood of Jesus has sufficient power to erase our past mistakes and make us fully righteous in order for us to carry out FATHER’S purpose.  In Matthew chapter 22, Jesus spoke:

29 Jesus answered and said to them, “You are mistaken, not knowing the Scriptures nor the power of God.

30 For in the resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels of God in heaven.

31 But concerning the resurrection of the dead, have you not read what was spoken to you by God, saying,

32 ‘I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob’ ?  God is not the God of the dead, but of the living.”

33 And when the multitudes heard this, they were astonished at His teaching.

Currently, most people do not comprehend the power of Our Heavenly Father and are trusting in man’s doctrines and the ways of the world.  I expect this to change soon as FATHER moves the Remnant toward full maturity while exposing those who are imposters and attempting to mislead the flock.  Those who have been fleecing the flock will be appropriately judged by FATHER and many will be astonished when this occurs.  Expect the unexpected!

Unchanging

Wednesday, July 4th, 2018

The world system is ever-changing as men try to install their soulish beliefs and motives into the system.  Thankfully, FATHER’S Divine Intent has never changed.  FATHER spoke in Malachi chapter 3:

6  ​“For I am the LORD, I do not change”

And It is written by THE SPIRIT in Hebrews chapter 13:

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

We inherently trust this reality as we wake up each morning expecting the sun, moon, the planets, and the stars to maintain their designated course through the universe.  Why is it so easy to trust in FATHER’S creation yet men have difficulty in fully trusting in HIS Word?  I submit it is due to man’s ability to inject reason and logic from the soul into their thinking.  The soul when left unchecked will conjure up alternatives to the true reality of an unchanging GOD.  Our spirit man knows the reality but if we allow our spirit man to remain dormant and weak, our mind, will, and emotions will try to guide us toward the ever-changing system which evokes fear, uncertainty, and doubt.  When this occurs, our individual purposes never fully mature and we become double-minded and are tossed to and fro by every wind of doctrine.

Over the years, I have heard the most outlandish views created by the soulish nature of men.  As an example, men say we have water shortages yet 80% of the earth is covered by water.  Yes, much of it is salt water but the only problem we have is receiving the revelation from FATHER on how to effectively and efficiently remove the salt in order for it to become fresh water.  We don’t have a shortage of water, we have a shortage of revelation.

Jesus knew how to command the weather to respond to His Word.  In Mark chapter 4, Jesus spoke:

39 Then He arose and rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, “Peace, be still!” And the wind ceased and there was a great calm.

Could Jesus do the same today?  Absolutely!  Could a fully mature Son or Daughter do the same?  Of course!  Why?  FATHER is unchanging and as the Creator of Heaven and earth, HE is fully in command of HIS creation.  Jesus only commanded the weather based on need, not to exalt His abilities.  He expressed FATHER’S Divine Intent in every Word and act He did thus it was FATHER’S Intent to calm the storm.  Yes, you can analyze the various aspects of the event but one thing is simple and sure, the wind obeyed Jesus’ command.

As we mature into the fullness of Christ, we will become unchanging and fully reliable in our walk.  We will also fully trust FATHER’S Word to the nth degree.  There will be no question of FATHER’S willingness to perform HIS Word as we speak it to the issues we confront.  Our faith will be as strong and unchanging as Jesus’ faith in FATHER’S Word.  Let us purge those ridiculous thoughts and traditions taught to us by men and trust FATHER’S Word implicitly.  The world is in desperate need of an unchanging standard to guide them through the turmoil and chaos.  The Sons and Daughters of GOD are meant to be that standard, they are the Remnant.
