Receive the Blessing.

Luke wrote by THE SPIRIT in chapter 8:

42 But as He went, the multitudes thronged Him.

43 Now a woman, having a flow of blood for twelve years, who had spent all her livelihood on physicians and could not be healed by any,

The physicians labeled her disease incurable.  She spent all of her livelihood in a desperate attempt to be healed of her disease.  It was certainly a major problem in her life else she would have simply “managed” it without spending all of her money.  She had suffered many things from many physicians. She had spent all that she had and was no better, but rather grew worse.  She had lost all hope and surely feared that her days were numbered.

Why did she seek Jesus out?  In Matthew chapter 9, Jesus had just spoken this Truth, “Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick” after He healed a paralytic lying on a bed.  She heard His Words and saw His power.  Her hope and faith immediately rose up. 

44 came from behind and touched the border of His garment. And immediately her flow of blood stopped.

45 And Jesus said, “Who touched Me?”

When all denied it, Peter and those with him said, “Master, the multitudes throng and press You, and You say, ‘Who touched Me?’ ”

46 But Jesus said, “Somebody touched Me, for I perceived power going out from Me.”

47 Now when the woman saw that she was not hidden, she came trembling; and falling down before Him, she declared to Him in the presence of all the people the reason she had touched Him and how she was healed immediately.

48 And He said to her, “Daughter, be of good cheer; your faith has made you well. Go in peace.”

The world identifies many diseases as incurable but there is no such thing.  Man is missing the key ingredient to healing the incurable- the power and authority of Our Heavenly Father through Our Lord Jesus Christ.

How long did it take for the woman to be healed of her “incurable” disease?  It was immediate!  What is the world’s response to the healing ministry of Jesus?  They seek out alternatives which will promote their livelihood.  They have a system in place and they do not want it to be challenged.  What would happen if they no longer had “incurable” diseases to treat?

The Sons and Daughters are being prepared to walk in the same anointing as Our Elder Brother Jesus.  We will no longer be intimidated by “incurable” diseases or those who are demon-possessed.  The world classifies them as having psychological problems.  Is written by THE SPIRIT in Acts chapter 5:

12 And through the hands of the apostles many signs and wonders were done among the people. And they were all with one accord in Solomon’s Porch.

13 Yet none of the rest dared join them, but the people esteemed them highly.

14 And believers were increasingly added to the Lord, multitudes of both men and women,

15 so that they brought the sick out into the streets and laid them on beds and couches, that at least the shadow of Peter passing by might fall on some of them.

16 Also a multitude gathered from the surrounding cities to Jerusalem, bringing sick people and those who were tormented by unclean spirits, and they were all healed.

Peter spoke to the lame man in Acts chapter 3, “Silver and gold I do not have, but what I do have I give you: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk.”

Peter did not mix up some potion or give credit to anyone but Jesus Christ.  The Apostles understood the Source of the power by which they spoke.  How is it that this Gospel has been watered down to the point where believers no longer earnestly seek and expect the power and authority of Jesus Christ to operate in this manner?  We must be tenacious in our commitment to press in to the Spiritual.  Agape Love seeks to cure in incurable.

Jesus spoke in John chapter 17:

1 Jesus spoke these words, lifted up His eyes to heaven, and said: “Father, the hour has come. Glorify Your Son, that Your Son also may glorify You,

2 as You have given Him authority over all flesh, that He should give eternal life to as many as You have given Him.

The word “authority” is the right to exercise power.  FATHER WHO created all things has the right to assign authority and power to whomever HE pleases and HE gave specific authority to HIS Son in whom HE is well pleased.  Jesus now expresses the results:

3 And this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent.

4 I have glorified You on the earth. I have finished the work which You have given Me to do.

5 And now, O Father, glorify Me together with Yourself, with the glory which I had with You before the world was.

This is the same work for each of us who are called as Sons and Daughters to accomplish.  We are to do works which reveal FATHER and HIS heart toward mankind.  We are to glorify Our Heavenly Father in those works rather than seek glory ourselves.  We are called to complete our work (our individual callings).  Jesus continues:

6 “I have manifested Your name to the men whom You have given Me out of the world. They were Yours, You gave them to Me, and they have kept Your word.

7 Now they have known that all things which You have given Me are from You.

8 For I have given to them the words which You have given Me; and they have received them, and have known surely that I came forth from You; and they have believed that You sent Me.

Jesus equipped us to keep The Word and walk in It.  He was given clear authority to bring forth this Word along with the power to bring it into full manifestation.  That same power and authority has been given to us if we will only believe and trust in The Word.

Jesus completed His earthly ministry and now works with those who have aligned themselves with FATHER’S Will.  Jesus was led by THE SPIRIT thus He did not act independently of FATHER’S Will.  Regrettably, there has been much teaching, especially in the faith movement, that has omitted this key to fruitfulness.

For example, Jesus did not come to conquer Rome even though there had been much prophecy concerning a conquering Messiah.  Some of the faith movement teachers led us to believe that we could and should believe for expensive new cars, large houses, and “fat” bank accounts.  Many attempted this line of reasoning but failed miserably.  They were not aligned with FATHER’S Will.

It is written by THE SPIRIT in Acts chapter 11:

19 Now those who were scattered after the persecution that arose over Stephen traveled as far as Phoenicia, Cyprus, and Antioch, preaching the word to no one but the Jews only.

20 But some of them were men from Cyprus and Cyrene, who, when they had come to Antioch, spoke to the Hellenists, preaching the Lord Jesus. 21 And the hand of the Lord was with them, and a great number believed and turned to the Lord.

Notice that “the hand of the LORD” was with the disciples when they preached Jesus Christ and His resurrection thus they produced good fruit.  If we speak and act outside the expressed Will of Our Heavenly FATHER, HE will not endorse or act on our behalf.  Paul expressed this Truth in Philippians chapter 4:

11 Not that I speak in regard to need, for I have learned in whatever state I am, to be content:

12 I know how to be abased, and I know how to abound. Everywhere and in all things I have learned both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need.

13 I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.

We can do all things if those “things” are endorsed and directed through Christ.  We are not given carte blanche to do anything outside of His Will and purpose.  Paul was not moved by whatever physical state he was in, and neither should we.  We are only to be moved by THE WORD.  This is where we find our authority and power to bring forth The Kingdom to earth.

Peter spoke by THE SPIRIT in Acts chapter 10:

34 Then Peter opened his mouth and said: “In truth I perceive that God shows no partiality.

35 But in every nation whoever fears Him and works righteousness is accepted by Him.

36 The word which God sent to the children of Israel, preaching peace through Jesus Christ—He is Lord of all—

37 that word you know, which was proclaimed throughout all Judea, and began from Galilee after the baptism which John preached:

38 how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power, who went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with Him.

To be oppressed means to exercise harsh control over one, to use one’s power against one.  Why does the devil oppress people?  The adversary is attempting to keep the Kingdom of GOD from manifesting on earth.  The Beloved Disciple wrote by THE SPIRIT in 1 John chapter 3:

8 He who sins is of the devil, for the devil has sinned from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil.

If Jesus’ power was not superior to that of the god of this world, He would not be able to destroy the works of the devil.  We should exalt Our Lord Jesus Christ in all we say and do on a daily basis.  Many grow cold in this area and they allow themselves to become subject to the devices of the devil and submit to a life which leads toward death and destruction.  Those of us who have an earnest desire to walk as a mature Son or Daughter will not allow the adversary to prevail in our daily walk.

When the adversary used the chief priests and elders to come against the disciples in Acts chapter 4, they were led by THE SPIRIT to pray:

27 “For truly against Your holy Servant Jesus, whom You anointed, both Herod and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles and the people of Israel, were gathered together

28 to do whatever Your hand and Your purpose determined before to be done.

29 Now, Lord, look on their threats, and grant to Your servants that with all boldness they may speak Your word,

30 by stretching out Your hand to heal, and that signs and wonders may be done through the name of Your holy Servant Jesus.”

31 And when they had prayed, the place where they were assembled together was shaken; and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and they spoke the word of God with boldness.

We have no power or authority if we act independently of Our Heavenly Father, Jesus Christ, and The Holy Spirit.  If we walk according to what we hear from Above, we are able to overcome the god of this world for Our Heavenly Father has already made provision and prepared HIS “devices” to be used in spiritual warfare.  HE has anticipated every conceivable scenario that can be used against us.  HE is not sitting around wondering what the devil might devise and responding.

The Holy Spirit revealed this reality through Paul in 2 Corinthians chapter 10:

4 For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds,

5 casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ,

6 and being ready to punish all disobedience when your obedience is fulfilled.

Obedience is compliance with an order, request, or law or submission to another’s authority.  The world submits to the authority of the devil and we submit to the authority of Our Lord Jesus Christ who is superior to all other authority on earth.  We will either be led by the world and its authority or we will be led by THE SPIRIT Who operates under the supreme authority of Our Heavenly Father. 

Only blindness will keep us fully realizing our authority.  As we earnestly pray to Our Heavenly Father and walk according to HIS Divine will, purpose, and plan, we will open our eyes and we will be able to fulfill our individual purposes of bringing forth The Kingdom of Heaven to earth.

In Matthew chapter 25, Jesus spoke:

31 “When the Son of Man comes in His glory, and all the holy angels with Him, then He will sit on the throne of His glory.

32 All the nations will be gathered before Him, and He will separate them one from another, as a shepherd divides his sheep from the goats.

33 And He will set the sheep on His right hand, but the goats on the left.

34 Then the King will say to those on His right hand, ‘Come, you blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:

35 for I was hungry and you gave Me food; I was thirsty and you gave Me drink; I was a stranger and you took Me in;

36 I was naked and you clothed Me; I was sick and you visited Me; I was in prison and you came to Me.’

Most of “Christiandom” do not want to study these particular Words of Jesus.  The essence of Agape Love is found in these Words.  You can claim to walk in unconditional Love but your acts and your bank account will tell the tale.

Jesus covered the necessities of life when he mentioned food, drink, shelter, and clothing.  Are you and I actively assisting those in need of the basics of life?  Jesus went on to include sickness.  Are we ministering to those we know who are sick, or do we keep our distance?  Are they of a lower priority than the mundane tasks requiring our attention but have no lasting value?  Shouldn’t we be building up our faith in the area of healing Scriptures so that we can minister the Word to them?

What about prisoner visitation?  Virtually everyone knows someone in prison these days.  One who is in prison suffers severe isolation from loved ones and experiences the shame of past acts.  How many of us have sinned in the past and suffered shame ourselves?  Do you think the prisoner came into this life planning to become incarcerated?  All prisoners are in need of Agape Love.

There is a fine line between society’s definition of sin and FATHER’S definition of sin in many instances.  Society is bloodthirsty and often wants those who perpetrated a crime to suffer forever.  The church is not innocent either.  It has promoted an eternal hell which dilutes the power of Agape Love.  If we all received what we deserved for past acts and current thoughts, virtually none of us would qualify to be in Heaven.  Only The Blood of Jesus Christ qualifies us to enter through those gates.

When did Jesus know that Judas would betray Him?  Yet Jesus embraced Judas throughout His earthly ministry.  Had Jesus revealed the betrayer to the disciples, Peter might have taken action against Judas.  Has Agape Love left Judas in hell to suffer forever?

Jesus spoke in Revelation chapter 1:

18 I am He who lives, and was dead, and behold, I am alive forevermore. Amen. And I have the keys of Hades and of Death.

What is the point of having a key unless you plan to unlock the door?  Those in hell and death are the ultimate prisoners yet Agape Love is not moved by their past.  The ultimate act of forgiveness is to release men (including Judas) from hell and death, this is what Agape Love does.  What are you going to do?  Jesus makes it quite clear in Matthew chapter 25:

37 “Then the righteous will answer Him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry and feed You, or thirsty and give You drink?

38 When did we see You a stranger and take You in, or naked and clothe You?

39 Or when did we see You sick, or in prison, and come to You?’

40 And the King will answer and say to them, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these My brethren, you did it to Me.’

Agape Love was prevailing in the lives of the righteous ones.  They acted above and beyond society’s standards and embraced unconditional Love.  Their blindness had been removed which allowed them to see beyond the temporal.

41 “Then He will also say to those on the left hand, ‘Depart from Me, you cursed, into the age lasting punishment fire prepared for the devil and his angels:

42 for I was hungry and you gave Me no food; I was thirsty and you gave Me no drink;

43 I was a stranger and you did not take Me in, naked and you did not clothe Me, sick and in prison and you did not visit Me.’

Those who were entrenched in blindness will try to justify their unwillingness to walk in Agape Love:

44 “Then they also will answer Him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and did not minister to You?’ 45 Then He will answer them, saying, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to Me.’

46 And these will go away into everlasting punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.”

Jesus is in charge of dividing the sheep from the goats and He explains the primary difference in the two groups: those who walk in Agape Love and those who don’t.  These are His Words, not mine.

FATHER spoke in Jeremiah 29:

11  “ ‘For I know, ascertaining by what I see, the thoughts and devices I think and account upon, above and over you,’ says YHVH, ‘thoughts and devices of completeness, soundness, welfare and peace, not of adversity, displeasure and misery; to set in place and give the cord of hope and expectation for your posterity and the future you long for.’ “

The above passage expresses FATHER’S Divine Intent of Love toward us.  In addition, Paul wrote by THE SPIRIT in 2 Corinthians chapter 5:

17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.

18 Now all things are of God, who has reconciled us to Himself through Jesus Christ, and has given us the ministry of reconciliation

FATHER’S Love toward us promotes completeness, soundness, welfare and peace but the adversary tries to convince us of the opposite by bringing up our past failures so that we will dwell on them rather than focus on the reality of being a new creation IN HIM.  It doesn’t matter how long you have been a believer, the devil will bring up your past failures hoping to redirect your attention away from Jesus Christ and His Blood.

The battlefield is the mind and this is why we must renew our minds as Paul wrote by THE SPIRIT in Romans chapter 12:

1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service. 2 And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

This is not a one-time event.  As we interact with the world on a daily basis, we must protect our mind from the subtlety of world’s impact on our thinking.  What we see and hear enters our consciousness and if left unchecked, we will lose our focus on what really matters… The Word and Its benefits.  It can easily turn into a battle.

As we ponder what the world deems relevant, our past will creep in and try to take hold in our mind.  Our past looks for any weakness in our walk and wants to take up residence thus keeping us from fully embracing the promises found in The Word.

My past will tell me “you are not worthy for this promise because you committed this sin or act of lawlessness.”  Another ploy is to bring up the generational curse issue as though the Blood of Jesus Christ is insufficient to break such a curse.  “It’s in your DNA and you can’t help it!”

It is written by THE SPIRIT in Ezekiel 18:

19 “Yet you say, ‘Why should the son not bear the guilt of the father?’ Because the son has done what is lawful and right, and has kept all My statutes and observed them, he shall surely live.

20 The soul who sins shall die. The son shall not bear the guilt of the father, nor the father bear the guilt of the son. The righteousness of the righteous shall be upon himself, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon himself.”

Those who have preached generational sin messages failed to include this passage thus leaving us to believe that we have a major challenge as we look at our own family history.  The Blood of Jesus Christ is fully effective in all cases of past sins and lawlessness.  Our DNA was not omitted from being impacted by His Blood.

Paul expressed the importance of fighting failure when he wrote by THE SPIRIT in Ephesians chapter 6:

13 Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

14 Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness,

15 and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace;

16 above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one.

17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God;

18 praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints

The helmet of salvation is meant to protect our minds from the evils of the past.  As we stand on the Truth of The Word, we will defeat our past failures and finally accept the reality that we are indeed a new creation!

In Acts chapter 10, Peter spoke by THE SPIRIT:

34 Then Peter opened his mouth and said: “In truth I perceive that God shows no partiality.

35 But in every nation whoever fears Him and works righteousness is accepted by Him.

36 The word which God sent to the children of Israel, preaching peace through Jesus Christ—He is Lord of all—

37 that word you know, which was proclaimed throughout all Judea, and began from Galilee after the baptism which John preached:

38 how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power, who went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with Him.

Being oppressed means to exercise harsh control over one, to use one’s power against one.  The devil will use the anything we allow to keep us in bondage.  There is power in our tongue and if we are constantly declaring whatever is contrary to The Word, we have given the devil power to operate in our life.  The devil is a harsh taskmaster to say the least.

The Beloved Disciple wrote by THE SPIRIT in 1 John chapter 2:

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

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

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

Lust and pride will keep us in bondage to the devil.  Pride trusts in its own power and resources and shamefully despises and violates Divine Laws and human rights.  It trusts in the stability of earthly things.  If you live long enough, you will see the fallacy of worldly stability.  Your world can get shattered without notice!

Jesus exposed flesh and pride with the Truth.  The religious leaders who were well versed in the Old Testament Laws were among the worst to walk in lust and pride.  Their traditions promoted their worldliness.  They could not see the need to change and it is not much different today.

People develop a bias to their current level of knowledge, understanding, and wisdom which they use to judge others.  They judge themselves by their intentions but judge everyone else by their actions.  Our fruit reveals what is in our heart so we should look at our own fruit.  Paul wrote by THE SPIRIT in 1 Corinthians chapter 3:

11 For no other foundation can anyone lay than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ.

12 Now if anyone builds on this foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw,

13 each one’s work will become clear; for the Day will declare it, because it will be revealed by fire; and the fire will test each one’s work, of what sort it is.

14 If anyone’s work which he has built on it endures, he will receive a reward.

15 If anyone’s work is burned, he will suffer loss; but he himself will be saved, yet so as through fire.

16 Do you not know that you are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?

17 If anyone defiles the temple of God, God will destroy him. For the temple of God is holy, which temple you are.

Is my fruit wood, hay, and/or straw or does it consist of gold, silver, and precious stones?  Is my fruit everlasting or of a worldly, temporary nature?  My foundation must be Jesus Christ, not anyone else.  This is why I consistently implore you to keep your focus on Jesus Christ and His Words.  We must not allow ourselves to lose our passion for Christ and become diluted by the world’s rhetoric and reasoning.  Let us no longer be oppressed by the devil.

From Our Beloved Brother Alan:

A Time To Change

I have been given, as a free gift, the Holy Spirit of Truth in Love, to empower me to manifest a Holy Spirit quality of Life.  And so have you.  I have been given the Holy Spirit of Truth in Love to empower me to Live, and give Life to others.  And so have you.  This world system is filled with negatives and degradations.  It is neither condemnation, nor judgmental, to acknowledge and recognize those things in my habitual lifestyle that are destructive and detrimental to my life, and my ability to give life to others.  I will reap what I sow; that is unavoidable.  If I sow destruction and decay, that is what will manifest.  If I sow Love and Life, that is what will manifest.    At this moment, I ask my Holy Spirit Father to emblaze that reality into my heart and mind, now and forever more.    Father, empower me to be the Change this world longs for, beginning with me.    Amen and Amen!   

Paul wrote by THE SPIRIT in 1 Corinthians chapter 2:

6 Yet when we are among the full-grown (spiritually mature Christians who are ripe in understanding), we do impart a higher wisdom (the knowledge of the divine plan previously hidden); but it is indeed not a wisdom of this present age or of this world nor of the leaders and rulers of this age, who are being brought to nothing and are doomed to pass away.

Paul clearly states there are two levels of wisdom: the wisdom of the world and the Wisdom from Above.  The world’s wisdom is doomed to failure and will pass away.  Those with eyes to see frequently observe this reality as mankind is constantly attempting to deal with their unsolvable problems without success. 

7 But rather what we are setting forth is a wisdom of God once hidden from the human understanding and now revealed to us by God—that wisdom which God devised and decreed before the ages for our glorification- to lift us into the glory of His presence.

FATHER does not hide HIS Wisdom from HIS mature Sons and Daughters.  HE is willing to reveal certain mysteries as we are able to properly administer HIS Wisdom in our daily affairs.  HIS Wisdom is outlandish to those who cannot grasp HIS Divine Intent of Love for they cannot see the outcome in the spirit.  They have little or no faith in FATHER’S ability to bring forth HIS Word in their lives.  Consequently, they cannot walk in complete peace.

8 None of the rulers of this age or world perceived and recognized and understood this, for if they had, they would never have crucified the Lord of glory.

Some of the smartest and well-educated men could not perceive, recognize, or understand who was standing before them.  This ought to comfort us in that we are not required to have a PhD in Theology to be led by THE SPIRIT and be used mightily by FATHER.  The smartest guys around killed the SON of GOD.  As Paul stated in chapter 3:

19 For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, “He catches the wise in their own craftiness”;

20 and again, “The LORD knows the thoughts of the wise, that they are futile.”

As we grasp this Truth, our walk becomes more peaceful.  We are no longer moved by smooth talking individuals who will try to steer us off the path of our calling.

9 But, on the contrary, as the Scripture says, What eye has not seen and ear has not heard and has not entered into the heart of man, all that God has prepared (made and keeps ready) for those who (Agape) love Him who hold Him in affectionate reverence, promptly obeying Him and gratefully recognizing the benefits He has bestowed.  AMPL

FATHER has withheld certain mysteries from all of mankind.  The one qualification to receive those mysteries is to walk in the revelation of Agape Love.  Paul understood this first hand for he was well educated and trained by the finest instructor yet he had been blinded by the world’s wisdom until Jesus revealed Himself to Paul on the road to Damascus.

We should expect FATHER to reveal those mysteries which have been reserved for this particular time in history.  HE is more than willing to show HIS mature Sons and Daughters these specific mysteries for they will not misuse what has been revealed to them.  They will not “package them up” and sell revelation as some have attempted to do in the past.  These mysteries will assist us as we fulfill our individual callings and bless those around us.
