Man’s Foolishness

Wednesday, June 19th, 2019

Jeremiah recorded by THE SPIRIT in chapter 10:

23   O Lord, I know that the path of [life of] a man is not in himself;

It is not within [the limited ability of] man [even one at his best] to choose and direct his steps [in life].  AMPL

We all have notable limitations in our lives as is expressed in the passage above thus who among us should we follow?  Paul wrote by THE SPIRIT in Colossians 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.

Are you seeking signs to direct your ways?  Are you seeking man’s wisdom when making decisions?  They are but foolishness when compared to FATHER’S instruction.  HE has provided The Way for us to go so that we live our life to the fullest.

I once listened to a young woman spend forty-five minutes telling a group of us about her trip where she had seen a multitude of signs directing her way.  She spoke in great detail about each sign and its relevance to her.  Clearly, she fell into the category of the “Jews” who requested signs.  I was totally worn out by the end of her trip and I didn’t even go.  We must be led by THE SPIRIT and not rely on physical signs to guide us.

Why focus on the imperfect when FATHER provides the perfect and exact Truth?  “Self” always wants to overrule THE SPIRIT when given the opportunity and this is why we must die to self and live unto THE SPIRIT on a daily basis.

Peter encourages us by THE SPIRIT in 2nd Peter chapter 1:

1 Simon Peter, a bondservant and apostle of Jesus Christ,

​To those who have obtained like precious faith with us by the righteousness of our God and Savior Jesus Christ:

​2 Grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord,

3 as His divine power has given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him who called us by glory and virtue,

4 by which have been given to us exceedingly great and precious promises, that through these you may be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.

FATHER’S Agape Love has provided to us all things that pertain to life and godliness.  What else could one ask for?  If we ask, it will be given; as we seek, we will find; as we knock, it will be opened to us.  Everything we need comes through the knowledge of Our Heavenly Father.

Our society is in desperate need of this knowledge but their eyes are blinded because they follow the god of this world.  As we walk in the light and speak forth HIS Word in our mouths, we will pierce the darkness that prevails in the world.  If we will make The Word first priority in our life, we will experience the fruitfulness associated with The Word.  It is up to each of us to be brutally honest concerning our walk.  Each of us will be accountable for our words and actions so let us watch over both.

HE has given us ALL things that pertain to life and Godliness.  HE has given us exceedingly great and precious promises.  Who on earth could claim to give us anything similar?  No one.  The wealthiest man on earth is subject to death and destruction and his wealth will not increase his days on earth.  Let us place our focus each day on being partakers of the Divine nature.

Our Daily Focus

Tuesday, June 18th, 2019

James wrote by THE SPIRIT in chapter 4:

7 Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you.

8 Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded.

We are called to be active on a daily basis.  Each and every day, the world tries to impart its “socially acceptable” perverse values into our hearts and steer us away from the purity of FATHER’S Word.  Perversion has infiltrated the various forms of media and tries to affect our minds by constant exposure to their agenda.  We must protect our hearts and minds from such impurity by studying, dwelling, and meditating on The Word daily.  I know that it can be challenging at times when the demands seem to overwhelm us.

What is one way we can draw nearer to FATHER while performing our daily tasks?  By praying in THE SPIRIT when opportunities arise throughout the day, we will draw nearer to FATHER.  Paul wrote by THE SPIRIT in 1 Corinthians chapter 14:

1 Pursue love, and desire spiritual gifts, but especially that you may prophesy.

2 For he who speaks in a tongue does not speak to men but to God, for no one understands him; however, in the spirit he speaks mysteries.

Within this instruction, Paul clearly illustrates the importance of speaking in tongues:  we are speaking to FATHER in the spirit.  Paul also writes:

18 I thank my God I speak with tongues more than you all

Paul understood the value of speaking in tongues as he wrote by THE SPIRIT most of the epistles in the New Testament.  Didn’t FATHER reveal many mysteries to us through Paul’s writings?

We are urged to desire “to prophesy” in verse one in the above passage.  To prophesy means to utter forth, declare, a thing which can only be known by Divine revelation.  As I spend more time praying in THE SPIRIT, I am preparing myself to speak forth Divine revelation spoken to me by FATHER.  When I pray in THE SPIRIT, I only speak pure Words which are effectively cleansing my heart while speaking to FATHER.

There are those who seek to prophesy with the wrong intent.  They seek to inflate their status among the brethren and ultimately are revealed as false prophets.  We must be careful when listening or reading “prophecies” by such individuals.  We must be sensitive to The Holy Spirit when we hear such “prophecies”.  I have heard countless prophecies concerning the Book of Revelations which have not come to pass yet people forget those false prophecies and continue to support the false prophets and their latest prophecies.

If a prophecy turns out to be false, it must have its origins in “self” and the devil promotes men walking in “selfish” ways.  We are to resist the devil and give no time or resource to anything sourced from the devil.

A prediction is a forecast, a statement about the future. It’s a guess, sometimes based on facts or evidence, but not always.  I suggest that many who claim to prophesy are actually predicting the future based on their conclusions of the evidence at hand.  They often look at past timelines to predict future events.  However, they are operating with imperfect knowledge. 

Where does perfect knowledge come from?  Only Our Heavenly Father has perfect knowledge in all aspects thus HE is the Author of Divine revelation and prophecy.  This is why we should draw near to FATHER rather than place our complete confidence in those who claim to precisely prophesy yet their past record of success is dismal at best.  FATHER needs no excuses when HE reveals future events to us.

False prophecies tend to cause us to become double-minded because they draw us away from the pure Word and redirect our focus to world events and time frames mentioned in the false prophecy.  We become fascinated with world news hoping that the prophecy comes to pass.  Why not be focused on what FATHER is speaking to us today and let HIM decide our focus?  This daily relationship promotes peace in our hearts and we don’t need to worry about what the world is predicting with their imperfect knowledge.

The Best Of Times

Monday, June 17th, 2019

The Beloved Disciple wrote by THE SPIRIT in 1 John chapter 5:

1 Whoever believes that Jesus is the Christ is born of God, and everyone who loves Him who begot also loves him who is begotten of Him.

2 By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God and keep His commandments.

3 For this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments. And His commandments are not burdensome.

4 For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith.

You only have to look around and see the death and destruction inherent in those who do not Love and follow Our Lord Jesus Christ.  Those who have greed as their god spend their waking hours pursuing money and power at the expense of anyone who gets in their way.  Others’ selfishness ends up hurting the very people who seek their wellbeing.  Without unconditional Love, there is no viable future.  Love overcomes the world of sin and lawlessness because our faith trusts in FATHER’S Divine intervention.

I recently posted a prophetess’ word concerning America’s impending judgment.  FATHER has been longsuffering with the U.S. and its decline toward an immoral and destructive state, especially in the area of abortion.  Everyone focuses on unwanted pregnancy and women’s rights to their own body.  How come no one focuses on abstinence before marriage?  The lust between an unmarried man and woman is now a foregone conclusion and it is as though they think FATHER is unaware of their fornication in the first place.

Do you think FATHER is unaware of the shenanigans in the financial markets by lawless financial institutions who steal from you and me by their financial engineering?  Do you think FATHER is unaware of the graft and corruption known as “the swamp” in Washington D.C.?  Do you think the “financial elite” will not receive judgment for their manipulation of governments around the world?

The remnant of THE LORD has been being prepared for the time of judgment when the harvest of the wheat is at hand.  The tares will be plucked up, removed, and burned.  This judgment will come by HIS fiery Word spoken by the mature Sons and Daughters.  It will be done in dramatic corrective Agape Love.

How did Jesus react to misuse and abuse of something FATHER ordained?  Matthew wrote by THE SPIRIT in chapter 21:

12 Then Jesus went into the temple of God and drove out all those who bought and sold in the temple, and overturned the tables of the money changers and the seats of those who sold doves.

13 And He said to them, “It is written, ‘My house shall be called a house of prayer,’ but you have made it a ‘den of thieves.’ ”

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

The moneychangers suffered judgment yet the blind and lame received grace and mercy and were healed… without a dove.  There were those who were lawful among those who were lawless.  The lawless suffered loss while the lawful received restoration.

We need to be of good courage and continue in HIS Word so that we are prepared no matter what form of judgment comes forth in the world.  We must keep our lamps trimmed and consciously be led by The Holy Spirit in preparation for the Groom’s arrival.  For the lawless it will be the worst of times, but for those who walk in Agape Love, it will be the best of times.

Your Are Of Great Value

Friday, June 14th, 2019

Each of us is of great value to Our Heavenly Father.  FATHER gave HIS Son of indescribable value for us individually because of HIS Love.  How can we establish a finite value on our existence when considering this Truth?

If we were of no value, there would have been no need for Jesus’ sacrifice nor would we need the Scripture to direct our paths.  We must not forget this reality and we should embrace the Truths which describe and encourage us to walk according to FATHER’S Love plan.

We should value others in the same manner FATHER values us for they are HIS workmanship as well.  Jesus spoke in Luke chapter 6:

27 “But I say to you who hear: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you,

28 bless those who curse you, and pray for those who spitefully use you.

And:

35 But love your enemies, do good, and lend, hoping for nothing in return; and your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High. For He is kind to the unthankful and evil.

36 Therefore be merciful, just as your Father also is merciful.

Would you expect FATHER to treat HIS creation any differently?  HE gives us every opportunity to accept HIS Love.  HE has given us the choice to accept The Way or walk according to our own lusts but we must accept the results of our choice.

Jesus spoke in Matthew chapter 5:

43 “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’

44 But I say to you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you,

45 that you may be sons of your Father in heaven; for He makes His sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust.

If we Love our neighbor and Love our enemies then who have been excluded?  No one.  If we are to Love, then we are meant to be Loved thus we all are of great value to FATHER.  Do not get down on yourself and think you are not Loved.  Our Heavenly Father Love you and the mature Sons and Daughters Love you as well.  You are not alone!  Those who don’t Love you are walking in the darkness of their ways.

Prophecy – Tic Tac Woe 6-5-2019 Lois Vogel-Sharp

Thursday, June 13th, 2019

The following is a prophecy which warns us of an impending economic collapse.  Will it occur, how will it occur, and when will it occur are all questions to be answered by The Holy Spirit in us.  Love is the answer to the fear that will grip the world when their trust in the world’s ways evaporates before their very eyes.

Mathematically speaking, there is no solution to the debt that currently exists throughout the world… it is clearly bankrupt in the strictest terms.  I warned those who would listen for ten years from 2006 to 2016 (849 posts) then FATHER had me focus solely on the revelation of Love.  Love will sustain us no matter what occurs in this world.  The greater the revelation of Love, the greater the peace we will walk in when adversity comes.

If this prophetic word does not witness with you, no worries, just set it aside.

FATHER’S Love Plan Part 10

Wednesday, June 12th, 2019

In the garden, FATHER established boundaries with Adam and Eve for their protection.  In Genesis chapter 2 it is written by THE SPIRIT:

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.”

The boundary HE established was for their own benefit and protection for this is the motivation of Love.  All they had to do was to stay within the boundary of HIS command and trust HIS integrity.  When we question FATHER’S Word and Love’s motives, we allow the poison of unbelief to enter in and cause death and destruction to take us down another path contrary to The Way.

When man chooses to cross the boundaries that Love establishes there are consequences.  Within those boundaries are peace and safety but outside those boundaries are anxiety and scarcity.  Why venture outside the boundary FATHER has established?  All it does is confirm the unbelief in your heart.

Paul started out with unbelief in his heart concerning Jesus being the Messiah.  He was extremely intelligent and well educated but that did not translate into revelation and understanding.  In 1 Timothy chapter 1, HE wrote by THE SPIRIT:

12 And I thank Christ Jesus our Lord who has enabled me, because He counted me faithful, putting me into the ministry,

13 although I was formerly a blasphemer, a persecutor, and an insolent man; but I obtained mercy because I did it ignorantly in unbelief.

14 And the grace of our Lord was exceedingly abundant, with faith and love which are in Christ Jesus.

15 This is a faithful saying and worthy of all acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am chief.

16 However, for this reason I obtained mercy, that in me first Jesus Christ might show all longsuffering, as a pattern to those who are going to believe on Him for everlasting life.

17 Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, to God who alone is wise, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen.

This well-educated man came to the realization of his condition of unbelief and even realized that he was a “chief sinner” but by FATHER’S mercy and grace, Love prevailed.  Once his eyes were opened, Paul changed and became obedient to Love’s plan.  He had a new set of boundaries to live by and was willing to endure any manmade adversity to fulfill his part of the Love plan.

Proverbs directs us to live in certain boundaries.  If we choose to leave those boundaries Wisdom has established, we will surely experience hardship.  We must not allow the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, or pride of life to draw us away from the boundaries established by FATHER.

In Hebrew chapter 3, it is written by THE SPIRIT:

12 Beware, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief in departing from the living God;

13 but exhort one another daily, while it is called “Today,” lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.

14 For we have become partakers of Christ if we hold the beginning of our confidence steadfast to the end,

15 while it is said:

​“Today, if you will hear His voice,

​​Do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion.”

Once you depart from the boundary of Love, your heart is subject to becoming an “evil heart of unbelief”.  These writings are to encourage you to remain within the boundaries of Love and pursue the fruit thereof.  There are acts of Love we are encouraged to pursue so let us not resist what FATHER is urging us to do.  Those acts result in seeds being planted allowing us to produce a greater harvest.  If we sow sparingly, we reap sparingly.  If we sow within the boundaries FATHER has established, we will maximize our harvest.

FATHER’S Love Plan Part 9

Tuesday, June 11th, 2019

Paul wrote by THE SPIRIT in Romans chapter 8:

35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?

36 As it is written:

​​“For Your sake we are killed all day long;

​​We are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.”

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 promotes all aspects of life and restoration.  As Paul said in the above passage, nothing shall be able to separate us from FATHER’S Love.  When we pursue Love, in essence we are pursuing life, health, blessing, relationships, peace, and all other aspects of the Kingdom.  Can there be a greater priority than pursuing the revelation of Love?

There is nothing and no one can separate us from the Love of Christ.  This Love is greater than the sum of all men’s sins and lawlessness since the beginning of the world.  Even the most lawless men are not exempt from this Love thus they will ultimately bow their knees and confess with their tongues “Jesus is Lord”.

Paul (who was Saul) had been the number one enemy of the believers and had officiated Stephen’s stoning and death but he received grace and mercy from Our Heavenly Father and was acquitted of all of his crimes against believers.  He became a new creation and his mind was transformed which enabled him to state in Acts chapter 20;

26 Therefore I testify to you this day that I am innocent of the blood of all men.

Love totally exonerated him of all wrongdoing and be assured that your past sins and lawless acts have been wiped clean from your slate as well so quit beating yourself up because of your past.

When Jesus was confronted with the situation of a woman caught in adultery, how did He respond?  In John chapter 8 Jesus dealt with the situation by Love:

7 So when they continued asking Him, He raised Himself up[fn] and said to them, “He who is without sin among you, let him throw a stone at her first.” 8 And again He stooped down and wrote on the ground.

9 Then those who heard it, being convicted by their conscience,[fn] went out one by one, beginning with the oldest even to the last. And Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst.

10 When Jesus had raised Himself up and saw no one but the woman, He said to her, “Woman, where are those accusers of yours?[fn] Has no one condemned you?”

11 She said, “No one, Lord.”

And Jesus said to her, “Neither do I condemn you; go and sin no more.”

12 Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying, “I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life.”

Love does not condemn or criticize but seeks to restore and expose men to the light and remove darkness from their midst.  The problems we face on a daily basis are no match for the light expressed through FATHER’S Love for us.  Our past is no match when the radiant light of FATHER’S Love has overtaken the darkness.  Let our gratitude be expressed daily for this gift of Love given to all of mankind.  What a time to be alive!

FATHER’S Love Plan Part 8

Monday, June 10th, 2019

FATHER formed each of us in the womb by HIS Divine Intent of Love and out of HIS goodness.  We are meant to have fellowship with HIM once we have discovered HIS Love plan.

Was there anyone formed in the womb by accident?  Absolutely not, thus we should look at everyone with the same Agape Love knowing that they are at different stages of revelation, even if it appears to be zero.

We all started out as vessels of dishonor but many have received the seed of FATHER’S Love plan and began to see HIS Divine Intent have been transformed by the renewing of the mind.  Paul wrote by THE SPIRIT in 2 Corinthians chapter 9:

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.

HIS plan includes both forming us in the womb and providing for us as we grow and mature to do good works and promote HIS Love plan to others.  We are to perpetuate HIS Love plan to others and encourage them to embrace the Wisdom of such a plan.

The adversary would like to thwart this plan but his sensual wisdom is no match for FATHER’S superior Wisdom which has at Its core, the full revelation and intent of FATHER’S Love.  Men who darkened hearts need to have an encounter with those who have the Light to expose the Truth to them so that they have the choice to be enlightened or remain in darkness as vessels of dishonor for Love does not impose Itself on others.  Our choice is given to us in order that Love remains pure without coercion. 

What a privilege it is to have this plan revealed so that we can expand FATHER’S Kingdom on earth and know that HE will provide everything we need in order to fulfill HIS plan.  Paul further wrote:

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.

As we see the source of our provision, we become extremely thankful for everything FATHER does on our behalf.  We are no longer surprised at our good fortune and come to expect the unexpected in man’s eyes.  We are grateful to be in the flow of FATHER’S Love toward mankind.

FATHER’S Love Plan Part 7

Sunday, June 9th, 2019

Peter wrote by THE SPIRIT in his first epistle chapter 1:

3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His abundant mercy has begotten us again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, 

4to an inheritance incorruptible and undefiled and that does not fade away, reserved in heaven for you

5 who are kept by the power of God through faith for salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.

Even though our sinful and lawless past deserves no inheritance, FATHER has reserved an inheritance for you and me.  HIS Love is greater than the summation of all our past failures and swallows up death on our behalf.  What is left?  The fullness of life, Love, peace, and joy as an inheritance because of HIS infinite and unconditional Love.  Peter continued:

22 Since you have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit in sincere love of the brethren, love one another fervently with a pure heart, 

23 having been born again, not of corruptible seed but incorruptible, through the word of God which lives and abides forever, 

24 because

​“All flesh is as grass,

​​And all the glory of man as the flower of the grass.

​​The grass withers,

​​And its flower falls away,

25 ​​But the word of the LORD endures forever.”

​Now this is the word which by the gospel was preached to you.

The incorruptible seed has been planted in us and brings forth purification of our souls.  HIS Love has a purifying effect as we obey the Truth through The Holy Spirit. It is a wonder that defies human understanding and is contrary to man’s logic and reasoning.

HIS Seed overtakes our sinful past and HIS incorruption is greater than our corruption in all aspects.  This is why we must not allow the past to influence today’s decisions or thinking.  We truly are HIS new creation.  What a beautiful Love plan which restores us to Our Heavenly Father!

We can see at the center of HIS Divine Intent is HIS Love plan.  There is no mention of the necessity of various acts by us which are required for us to enter into this state of incorruption except to obey HIS Truth. Who would not want to accept this plan?

There is not a long list of performance requirements and tests to enter into HIS Love plan.  The plan is simple and straightforward so that all men and women can walk according to HIS plan.  HE did not discriminate against anyone but included all of us no matter what our human capacity.

Love always wins.  There is nothing insurmountable keeping us from this incorruption Peter has pointed out.  When Jesus was resurrected from the dead, He sealed the Love plan’s success so that there is no weakness of failure attributable to FATHER’S Plan.  HIS plan has been revealed so let us fully embrace it and focus our attention of the greatest aspect of FATHER’S Divine Intent- Love.

A Prayer For Our Partners

Saturday, June 8th, 2019

FATHER,

I thank YOU for those YOU have led to give unto this ministry.  I ask YOU to bless the seed sown into this ministry and provide a generous harvest to the Brothers and Sisters who have planted their financial seed.  I trust YOUR Word stating “he who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully” and “So let each one give as he purposes in his heart, not grudgingly or of necessity; for God loves a cheerful giver.”  Show these cheerful givers YOUR desire to bless them and reveal YOURSELF to them as these blessings arrive.  Let their harvest be  bountiful with good fruit.  I ask this in Jesus’ Name.  Amen!
