Our Effectiveness

Saturday, January 11th, 2020

Your effectiveness is based on the revelation of The Word of GOD, not just reading it, memorizing it, or quoting it 500 times.  We are meant to understand The Word from FATHER’S point of view of Agape Love, also known as HIS Divine Intent.  That is the only “point of view” that matters because it is the Absolute Truth and HE backs up HIS Word and Divine Intent 100% of the time.  Our mandate is to seek the revelation and be a doer of The Word.

Why spend precious time in areas of study that don’t matter?  Is what your spending time on furthering The Gospel and establishing The Kingdom on earth?  If not, repent and focus on what really matters beyond the temporary nature of this world.  It is time to be fully relevant in what FATHER is doing on earth today… Now is the time.

The Holy Spirit recorded in Psalm 139:

16 You saw who you created me to be before I became me!

Before I’d ever seen the light of day,

the number of days you planned for me

were already recorded in your book.

How many of your days were planned and recorded by FATHER?  All of them!  Do you think HE omitted anything in HIS plan?  HE thought about you before you existed.  HIS thought created you and the plan for your life.  Your responsibility is to seek HIM out and synchronize with your plan.  Since FATHER gave you a free will, you can take another path and not fulfill your book.  As for me, I plan to totally fulfill FATHER’S Divine Intent.  As I pray in THE SPIRIT, my future found in my book is further revealed.

HE did not make a plan without accounting for the resources required to fulfill that plan.  HE is not forgetful so the only way those resources will not manifest in your life will be due to your unbelief in HIS plan.  You are not an accident or an unintended consequence of your earthly parents.  You are meant to be here at this time in history and reading this blog.  It’s all part of the plan so you and I need to quit limiting FATHER in any area of our lives.  Become passionate to fulfill ALL of HIS Will contained in your specific book.  Your angels are waiting to do HIS Will in your life by assisting you in whatever manner is required by your book.

Luke recorded by The Holy Spirit in chapter 21:

1 And He (Jesus) looked up and saw the rich putting their gifts into the treasury, 2 and He saw also a certain poor widow putting in two mites. 3 So He said, “Truly I say to you that this poor widow has put in more than all; 4 for all these out of their abundance have put in offerings for God, but she out of her poverty put in all the livelihood that she had.”

Did Jesus have Judas run after the widow and give out of the treasury?  Did Jesus go and minister to her by multiplying some bread and fishes?  No, on both counts.  The widow would receive her blessing from FATHER and HE would provide for her.  The widow operated in faith and that faith would be acknowledged and rewarded by FATHER.  Jesus was not impressed by the rich who gave a little out of their abundance for anybody can do that.  Would Jesus be impressed with your giving into The Kingdom?  Let The Holy Spirit minister to you in this area.

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in 2 Timothy chapter 3:

1 But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: 2 For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, 3 unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, 4 traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, 5 having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away! 6 For of this sort are those who creep into households and make captives of gullible women loaded down with sins, led away by various lusts, 7 always learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.

Those who have a form of godliness buy deny its power will not be chosen to establish The Kingdom.  In order to walk in the power, we must walk in the revelation of The Word and implement it in our walk, without exception.  Those who walk in the knowledge of the Absolute Truth will have all of Heaven’s resources available to them in every situation.  Jesus confirmed this when He said we would do greater things than Him.  Isn’t it time for each of us to take responsibility for what HIS Word says in all areas?  The immature will find ways to debate the Intent in order to justify their inaction and they will be known as lukewarm at best.

Jesus spoke a very important Truth in Mark chapter 9:

23 Jesus said to him, “If you can believe, all things are possible to him who believes.”

Your true level of “believing” is tested by your willingness to give and it is based on your ability to give.  The wealthy are typically the most unwillingly to give a notable percentage of their wealth whereas most of us have less difficulty.  The rich young ruler is a great example found in the Gospels.  The wealthy views their wealth as their “supply” instead of trusting Our Heavenly Father’s unlimited supply.  As a result, the rich young man walks away sorrowful and departs from Jesus.

Are you motivated by fear or by revelation?

The Greed Issue

Friday, January 10th, 2020

Some believers will miss their day of visitation from Our Lord Jesus Christ.  FATHER has been preparing us for some time as HE kept telling me In THE SPIRIT, “Now is the time!”

Idol worship must be removed from the midst of those who have ears to hear.  Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Ephesians chapter 5:

5 Be imitators of God in everything you do, for then you will represent your Father as his beloved sons and daughters. 2 And continue to walk surrendered to the extravagant love of Christ, for he surrendered his life as a sacrifice for us. His great love for us was pleasing to God, like an aroma of adoration—a sweet healing fragrance.

3 And have nothing to do with sexual immorality, lust, or greed—for you are his holy ones and let no one be able to accuse you of them in any form. 4 Guard your speech. Forsake obscenities and worthless insults; these are nonsensical words that bring disgrace and are unnecessary. Instead, let worship fill your heart and spill out in your words.

5 For it has been made clear to you already that the kingdom of God cannot be accessed by anyone who is guilty of sexual sin, or who is impure or greedy—for greed is the essence of idolatry. How could they expect to have an inheritance in Christ’s kingdom while doing those things?

FATHER is leading me to write in the coming days about Kingdom finances and some who read these writings will be offended because this issue is among the most subtle idols believers must deal with in their walk.  The adversary uses deception to convince believers that FATHER will not provide the needed resources they need to live their daily lives.  I can personally attest that this is false.

I’m not apologetic for what will be written in the coming days because it is time that we accept ALL of The Word rather than just those sections which appeal to our soul.  In the past, I simply preferred to fund the Gospel without any outside assistance because my faith was and is sufficient to believe in FATHER’S provision for what I am called to do.  It was easier for me to believe than to expect others to walk in the same revelation and join me in bringing forth the Kingdom.  Am I special or superior?  Not in the least, I simply took FATHER at HIS Word and did not try to analyze away the revelation contained in those Scriptures which deal specifically with finances.

FATHER’S perspective is not your perspective.  The question is “Whose perspective are you going to accept?”  Are you appealing to the flesh or submitting to The Holy Spirit?  Did I have to cast down fear, uncertainty, and doubt when FATHER told me to give a substantial amount to those in need?  Absolutely!  However, HE told me to give, not some preacher compelling me to give out of duty or guilt.  FATHER Loves a cheerful and willing giver.  FATHER will tell you what to give and to whom.  HE is looking for people who trust HIM and that trust will only occur when you do what HE has instructed, without hesitation.

There is no money in Heaven and there is a sufficient supply here on earth.  We simply need to access the funds for HIS purposes.  Do you really think the wealth of this world is off limits to FATHER WHO established value in the first place?

Evil must be dealt with once and for all.  Greed is the root of all evil and Satan used this very thing when he enticed Eve to eat of the tree which was reserved by FATHER.

We are no longer victims of the world’s intent to enslave us by keeping us in the “scarcity” mode.  The adversary wants you to believe you are limited yet Jesus proclaimed you and I would do greater things.  Who are you going to listen to and place your trust?  You must renew your mind when it comes to the flow of finances in your life and not allow the adversary to limit the flow FATHER intends for your life.

You don’t have to twist FATHER’S arm to get HIM to send resources in your direction.  You must deal with yourself in the area of unbelief and the importance of your words.  Your unbelief must be dealt with in order to access the resources meant for your stewardship.

Hope is a desire of some good, accompanied with at least a slight expectation of obtaining it, or a belief that it is obtainable.  Faith expects the manifestation to come, without a doubt.  Faith believes FATHER’S Word and that it will come to pass in your life.  It has dealt with and cast down fear, uncertainty, and doubt because your mind has been renewed and aligns itself with The Word rather than the world.

Do you think the manifested Sons and Daughters of GOD are required to fulfill FATHER’S Will without the resources needed to minister?  Jesus didn’t send the multitudes away hungry?  Jesus paid the tax requested of Him.  Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob weren’t broke.  We need to quit looking for ways to abstain from giving.  Men make a major deal out of tithing as though the money meant for the tithe is off limits to FATHER when HE requests you to send it to someone who is ministering the Gospel.  We need to quit looking for ways around giving so those resources can be hoarded out of fear.  Quit looking for perceived loopholes when you should be focused on FATHER’S Divine Intent of Love when it comes to finances.  What father among you, if his son asks for a loaf of bread, will give him a stone; or if he asks for a fish, will instead of a fish give him a serpent?  How much more will Our Heavenly Father provide for us!

The Holy Spirit wrote in Psalm 5:

12 Lord, how wonderfully you bless the righteous.

Your favor wraps around each one and covers them

under your canopy of kindness and joy.

Do you really believe?  You have gifts given specifically to you by FATHER and those gifts need to be in full operation.  If you are sitting on the sidelines because you don’t have the necessary funds, maybe it is time to plant some seed.  Every seed produces after its own kind and is meant to multiply in order to be a blessing for the one who sows.

I am not forcing or compelling you to give but I am explaining the Kingdom economy here on earth so that you can benefit from operating according to Kingdom principles.  You can sit in front of your computer, tablet, or phone and reject this writing and no one will be the wiser… accept FATHER.

Don’t shoot me, I’m just the messenger.

Today’s Prayer For You

Thursday, January 9th, 2020

My Prayer for you today:

I pray that the FATHER of glory, the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, would impart to you the riches of the Spirit of wisdom and the Spirit of revelation to know HIM through your deepening intimacy with HIM.

I pray that the light of Our Heavenly Father will illuminate the eyes of your imagination, flooding you with light, until you experience the full revelation of the hope of HIS calling—that is, the wealth of HIS glorious inheritances that HE finds in us, HIS Holy ones!

I pray that you will continually experience the immeasurable greatness of FATHER’S power made available to you through faith. Then your lives will be an advertisement of this immense power as it works through you! This is the mighty power that was released when FATHER raised Christ from the dead and exalted Him to the place of highest honor and supreme authority in the Heavenly realm!  And now He is exalted as first above every ruler, authority, government, and realm of power in existence! He is gloriously enthroned over every name that is ever praised, not only in this age, but in the age that is coming!

In Jesus’ Name,

Amen!

Embrace these Words for The Holy Spirit wants to minister to you in the illumination of the light which proceeds from FATHER’S Throne!

Spiritual Audit

Wednesday, January 8th, 2020

Have you returned to your first Love?  Each of us should do a Spiritual audit and critically assess our walk.  Are we easily distracted by the world’s offerings?  Are we glued to the news happening around the world much of it will have little or no effect on your life today?  Are we simply fact seekers which contain no revelation?  These pursuits keep us from removing the limitations which must be overcome if we are to walk according to our purpose.  Our limitations are what we don’t know or understand and that will prevent us from being fully led by The Holy Spirit.

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Ephesians 1:

1 Dear friends,

My name is Paul, and I was chosen by God to be an apostle of Jesus, the Messiah. 2 I’m writing this letter to all the devoted believers who have been made holy by being one with Jesus, the Anointed One.

May God himself, the heavenly Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, release grace over you and impart total well-being into your lives.

3 Every spiritual blessing in the heavenly realm has already been lavished upon us as a love gift from our wonderful heavenly Father, the Father of our Lord Jesus—all because he sees us wrapped into Christ. This is why we celebrate him with all our hearts!

4 And he chose us to be his very own, joining us to himself even before he laid the foundation of the universe! Because of his great love, he ordained us, so that we would be seen as holy in his eyes with an unstained innocence.

5–6 For it was always in his perfect plan to adopt us as his delightful children, through our union with Jesus, the Anointed One, so that his tremendous love that cascades over us would glorify his grace—for the same love he has for his Beloved One, Jesus, he has for us. And this unfolding plan brings him great pleasure!

We are HIS unfolding plan and if we have lost our passion we will restrict our ability to walk as partakers in HIS Divine Nature.  We need not beg for blessings and prosperity, FATHER has ordained us to walk in it.  HE provided The Way if we will only respond and diligently seek HIM.  Are we giving HIM our best or are we giving HIM the “leftovers” of our day?

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Ephesians 2:

4 But God still loved us with such great love. He is so rich in compassion and mercy. 5 Even when we were dead and doomed in our many sins, he united us into the very life of Christ and saved us by his wonderful grace! 6 He raised us up with Christ the exalted One, and we ascended with him into the glorious perfection and authority of the heavenly realm, for we are now co-seated as one with Christ!

7 Throughout the coming ages we will be the visible display of the infinite, limitless riches of his grace and kindness, which was showered upon us in Jesus Christ. 8 For it was only through this wonderful grace that we believed in him. Nothing we did could ever earn this salvation, for it was the gracious gift from God that brought us to Christ! 9 So no one will ever be able to boast, for salvation is never a reward for good works or human striving.

10 We have become his poetry, a re-created people that will fulfill the destiny he has given each of us, for we are joined to Jesus, the Anointed One. Even before we were born, God planned in advance our destiny and the good works we would do to fulfill it!

We have a destiny to fulfill so why delay it?  People are in need of our good works so let us be the expression of FATHER’S Love toward them so they too will come to realize they have a destiny to fulfill as well.  The only way we can be in unity is by being led by The Holy Spirit.  Otherwise, men will bring forth division due to self interest.

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Romans chapter 8:

26 And in a similar way, the Holy Spirit takes hold of us in our human frailty to empower us in our weakness. For example, at times we don’t even know how to pray, or know the best things to ask for. But the Holy Spirit rises up within us to super-intercede on our behalf, pleading to God with emotional sighs too deep for words.

27 God, the searcher of the heart, knows fully our longings, yet he also understands the desires of the Spirit, because the Holy Spirit passionately pleads before God for us, his holy ones, in perfect harmony with God’s plan and our destiny.

FATHER wants us to be in perfect harmony with HIS Divine Intent.  What better way to live!  HE knows our future and we are to bring it forth into the “now”.  You and I are called to change history for we are to be HIS instruments on earth to evoke change.

Paul also wrote by The Holy Spirit in 2nd Timothy chapter 2:

23 Stay away from all the foolish arguments of the immature, for these disputes will only generate more conflict. 24 For a true servant of our Lord Jesus will not be argumentative but gentle toward all and skilled in helping others see the truth, having great patience toward the immature. 25 Then with meekness you’ll be able to carefully enlighten those who argue with you so they can see God’s gracious gift of repentance and be brought to the truth. 26 This will cause them to rediscover themselves and escape from the snare of Satan who caught them in his trap so that they would carry out his purposes.

There are many immature believers who oppose themselves as they seek to argue their position which arises out of their soulish understanding.  We are called to be gentle and skilled with them and this is accomplished by speaking what we hear The Holy Spirit is saying.  There is no argument when we have the Absolute Truth from Above and conveyed to us by The Holy Spirit.

Let me encourage you to do frequent Spiritual audits to assess if there are any areas needing focus.  I reflect on my encounters with others and make course corrections so that I don’t veer off the path known as The Way.  It’s called being sensitive to The Holy Spirit and purposing to speak His Words and not my own.

Fear of THE LORD

Tuesday, January 7th, 2020

How many of us have fully experienced the Fear of THE LORD in our lives?  Have we become complacent in our daily lives to the point where Our Heavenly Father is not at the center of our walk?  Do we only call upon Jesus when we are in a time of trouble?  Do we take The Holy Spirit for granted and devalue His ministry in our temple?

Why did Jesus have John write to the seven churches in the Book of Revelations?  Those in charge were not listening to Jesus thus their assemblies were lacking and didn’t know it.  What you don’t know that you need to know, that is your enemy! These writings are meant to focus on what we don’t know so that we will change.  Until you and I are fully mature, we need to change.  We will only change by receiving greater revelation meant to elevate us spiritually.

There is much written that tickle our eyes and much spoken that appeals to our ears.  The fundamental question is “Will what I saw and heard today truly change me?”  My soulish ambitions have sent me on many rabbit trails in the past.  The originators of those rabbit trails promoted themselves rather than Jesus Christ and sought followers to subtly do the same.  This often resulted in setting oneself above others by have superior knowledge.  Whatever happened to serving others and lifting them up?  Don’t go down the enticing rabbit trail for it is a waste of time and then causes the need for correction.

It is critical that we fully pursue “the Fear of THE LORD” and experience it individually.  What I am suggesting is not a simple thing.  For the most part, the church has removed the need for this in their services.  Overall, churches’ attendance is dwindling and there are less professed Christians according to surveys.  Only when there are catastrophic events does attendance increase.  Otherwise, entertainment has a higher priority than seeking the Fear of THE LORD.  Let us as Sons and Daughters prepare ourselves and be in full pursuit of consistently walking in the Fear of THE LORD.  Consider what happened when this occurred in Acts 9

It is written by The Holy Spirit in Acts 9:

31 Then the churches throughout all Judea, Galilee, and Samaria had peace and were edified. And walking in the fear of the Lord and in the comfort of the Holy Spirit, they were multiplied.  NKJV

31 After this, the church all over Judea, Galilee, and Samaria experienced a season of peace. The congregations grew larger and larger, with the believers being empowered and encouraged by the Holy Spirit. They worshiped God in wonder and awe, and walked in the fear of the Lord.  TPT

The Hebraic concept of “the fear of the Lord,” means more than just dread or terror. It also includes “to worship with awe.”  The following verses speak for themselves:

Psalm 111:10 

​10 ​​The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom;

​​A good understanding have all those who do His commandments.

​​His praise endures forever.

Psalm 34:

8 ​​Oh, taste and see that the LORD is good;

​​Blessed is the man who trusts in Him!

9 ​​Oh, fear the LORD, you His saints!

​​There is no want to those who fear Him.

10 ​​The young lions lack and suffer hunger;

​​But those who seek the LORD shall not lack any good thing.

​11 ​​Come, you children, listen to me;

​​I will teach you the fear of the LORD.

Psalm 19:

7 ​​The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul;

​​The testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple;

8 ​​The statutes of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart;

​​The commandment of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes;

9 ​​The fear of the LORD is clean, enduring forever;

​​The judgments of the LORD are true and righteous altogether.

10 ​​More to be desired are they than gold,

​​Yea, than much fine gold;

​​Sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb.

11 ​​Moreover by them Your servant is warned,

​​And in keeping them there is great reward.

Proverbs 2:

​1 My son, if you receive my words,

​​And treasure my commands within you,

2 ​​So that you incline your ear to wisdom,

​​And apply your heart to understanding;

3 ​​Yes, if you cry out for discernment,

​​And lift up your voice for understanding,

4 ​​If you seek her as silver,

​​And search for her as for hidden treasures;

5 ​​Then you will understand the fear of the LORD,

​​And find the knowledge of God.

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;

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.

Proverbs 8:

12 “For I am Wisdom, and I am shrewd and intelligent.

I have at my disposal living-understanding

to devise a plan for your life.

13 Wisdom pours into you

when you begin to hate every form of evil in your life,

for that’s what worship and fearing God is all about.

Then you will discover

that your pompous pride and perverse speech

are the very ways of wickedness that I hate!”  TPT

Proverbs 10:

27 ​​The fear of the LORD prolongs days,

​​But the years of the wicked will be shortened.

Proverbs 15:

16 ​​Better is a little with the fear of the LORD,

​​Than great treasure with trouble.

Proverbs 19:

23 ​​The fear of the LORD leads to life,

​​And he who has it will abide in satisfaction;

​​He will not be visited with evil.

Isaiah 11:

​1 There shall come forth a Rod from the stem of Jesse,

​​And a Branch shall grow out of his roots.

2 ​​The Spirit of the LORD shall rest upon Him,

​​The Spirit of wisdom and understanding,

​​The Spirit of counsel and might,

​​The Spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD.

​3 ​​His delight is in the fear of the LORD,

​​And He shall not judge by the sight of His eyes,

​​Nor decide by the hearing of His ears;

4 ​​But with righteousness He shall judge the poor,

​​And decide with equity for the meek of the earth;

​​He shall strike the earth with the rod of His mouth,

​​And with the breath of His lips He shall slay the wicked.  NKJV

11 The cut-off stump of Jesse will sprout,

    and a fruitful Branch will grow from his roots:

2 the Spirit of Yahweh will rest upon him,

    the Spirit of Extraordinary Wisdom,

    the Spirit of Perfect Understanding

    the Spirit of Wise Strategy,

    the Spirit of Mighty Power,

    the Spirit of Revelation,

    and the Spirit of the Fear of Yahweh.

3 He will find his delight in living

    by the Spirit of the Fear of the Lord.

    He will neither judge by appearances

    nor make his decisions based on rumors.

4 With righteousness he will uphold justice for the poor

    and defend the lowly of the earth.

    His words will be like a scepter of power

    that conquers the world,

    and with his breath he will slay the lawless one.

5 Righteousness will be his warrior’s sash

    and faithfulness his belt.    TPT

Isaiah 33:

5 Yahweh is high and lifted up; he dwells on high!

    He lavished his justice and righteousness on Zion!

6 He will be your constant source of stability in changing times,

    and out of his abundant love he gives you

    the riches of salvation, wisdom, and knowledge.

    Yes, the fear of the Lord is the key to this treasure!  TPT

Selah!

Be A Partaker

Monday, January 6th, 2020

Peter wrote by The Holy Spirit in his second epistle chapter 1:

3 Everything we could ever need for life and complete devotion to God has already been deposited in us by his divine power. For all this was lavished upon us through the rich experience of knowing him who has called us by name and invited us to come to him through a glorious manifestation of his goodness. 4 As a result of this, he has given you magnificent promises that are beyond all price, so that through the power of these tremendous promises you can experience partnership with the divine nature, by which you have escaped the corrupt desires that are of the world.

The Greek word koinonos means “to participate as a partner, to partake of, to be a companion with, to have fellowship with” the Divine nature. This is one of the great mysteries of our faith, that God shares HIS nature with us. We are given birth by the Holy Spirit to be God’s true sons and daughters, and every father imparts his DNA and his “nature” to his children. The Greek word physis (nature) is taken from the word phyō, which means “to give birth, produce, bring forth, or to grow up.” Christ lives in us and transforms us into His very own likeness. In Christ we share with Him the Divine nature. We will all bear the image of the Man from Heaven, Jesus Christ.

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Romans chapter 8:

16 The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, 17 and if children, then heirs—heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him, that we may also be glorified together.

An Paul further wrote by The Holy Spirit in Ephesians 3:

20 Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, 21 to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen.

The power that works in us is released based on our expectation and it can only be hindered by fear, unbelief, and doubt.  FATHER isn’t limiting our power, we are.  These writings are meant to expose these hindrances so you will deal with them just as I have had to deal with them.

Our Heavenly Father made us in HIS Image so we can walk, talk, and work with HIM!  Never forget this Truth.  HIS angels are sent to minister to those who are to inherit the Kingdom.  They have been set to make sure you and I walk out our life in dominion and synchronization with Heaven.  Let us not thwart their mission by doubting our individual callings.

You and I are not on earth simply to survive, we are here to qualify for our next assignments for we are going to rule and reign with Jesus for eternity.  The Beloved Disciple recorded by The Holy Spirit in Revelation chapter 20:

4 And I saw thrones, and they sat on them, and judgment was committed to them. Then I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for their witness to Jesus and for the word of God, who had not worshiped the beast or his image, and had not received his mark on their foreheads or on their hands. And they lived and reigned with Christ for a thousand years. 5 But the rest of the dead did not live again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection. 6 Blessed and holy is he who has part in the first resurrection. Over such the second death has no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with Him a thousand years.

We have the resources to support us as we walk out what we are instructed to do.  When we are led by The Holy Spirit, we are “sent ones” and the angels will see to the deployment of resources on our behalf.  We need to have faith in GOD to deploy those resources without limitation.  HE is ready, are we?

Receive, Then Give

Sunday, January 5th, 2020

In order to give, you must first receive.  Otherwise, there is nothing to give.  This is true in being sent by FATHER to minister to those with whom you come in contact on a daily basis. 

When I receive revelation from FATHER in the morning, I write to you and share what is relevant for today.  HE knows who reads these writings so I don’t worry about getting HIS Word out to the intended audience.

When FATHER speaks, all of Heaven is there to back HIS Word for its intended purpose because FATHER speaks only out of HIS Divine Intent.  When HE speaks to you and me, we need to realize that Heaven’s resources are there to fulfill whatever HE has spoken.  If HE says it, it is meant to come to pass.  Our unbelief is the only thing that will hinder fulfillment because FATHER has given us that right to refuse HIS blessing.  Why would I refuse anything from FATHER?

In Luke chapter 10, Jesus sends out the seventy:

1 After these things the Lord appointed seventy others also, and sent them two by two before His face into every city and place where He Himself was about to go. 2 Then He said to them, “The harvest truly is great, but the laborers are few; therefore pray the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest. 3 Go your way; behold, I send you out as lambs among wolves. 4 Carry neither money bag, knapsack, nor sandals; and greet no one along the road. 5 But whatever house you enter, first say, ‘Peace to this house.’ 6 And if a son of peace is there, your peace will rest on it; if not, it will return to you. 7 And remain in the same house, eating and drinking such things as they give, for the laborer is worthy of his wages. Do not go from house to house. 8 Whatever city you enter, and they receive you, eat such things as are set before you. 9 And heal the sick there, and say to them, ‘The kingdom of God has come near to you.’

Those seventy disciples received a directive from Jesus thus they became “sent ones” carrying FATHER’S Divine Intent.  With that Divine Intent came power and authority from Heaven.  They first received in order for them to give.

The results of Jesus’ impartation to the seventy:

17 Then the seventy returned with joy, saying, “Lord, even the demons are subject to us in Your name.”

18 And He said to them, “I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven. 19 Behold, I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you. 20 Nevertheless do not rejoice in this, that the spirits are subject to you, but rather rejoice because your names are written in heaven.

Jesus told them to rejoice in who they are versus what they were able to do.  Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Colossians chapter 3:

1 Christ’s resurrection is your resurrection too. This is why we are to yearn for all that is above, for that’s where Christ sits enthroned at the place of all power, honor, and authority! 2 Yes, feast on all the treasures of the heavenly realm and fill your thoughts with heavenly realities, and not with the distractions of the natural realm.  TPT

Our focus should be Heavenly-based not the natural realm.  I have no opinion because I realize FATHER’S absolute Truth is the only thing worthy for me to trust in.  When I receive HIS Truth, I have something to minister to others.  When Jesus sent the seventy, they operated according to HIS Word, not their reliance on their own ability.  The more “Heavenly-minded” I am, the more “earthly-good” I become.

When I submit to FATHER, I am able to receive from HIM and walk out HIS directives which promote life, blessing, and prosperity allowing me to fulfill my purpose.  I am to use resources under my control to fulfill HIS Divine Intent, not hoard them up for worldly purposes.  If you knew you were going to physically die within the next 30 days, what possessions would you hold on to?  Why?  What would be your priorities? 

FATHER’S priorities are my priorities.  HIS Truths are my truths.  HIS ways are my ways.  I seek daily to remove any error in my understanding and I recommend you do the same.  I seek to be sifted of all impurities in my life for I want to become HIS full expression to others.  Is there another priority above this pursuit?  I only want to be sent with HIS power and authority, not for any other reason.  I must receive revelation before I can be effective in my words and actions.

I am yoked to Jesus Christ and accept HIS leadership in my life.  His yoke is easy and His burden is light.  What better person to be yoked to in my walk!  I do not question His Words or authority.  I do not devalue His importance in my walk thus I focus on His Words and His priorities.  There are a myriad of other pursuits out there but none of them are life-changing therefore they are of no value to my purpose.  Everything connected to Jesus is forward looking and that is where I am headed as I hope you are as well.  Why dwell in the past?

If Jesus tells me to do something, I am receiving from the Spiritual realm which promotes life and my future in the physical realm.  As I am obedient to do HIS Word in the physical realm, I receive additionally from the Spiritual realm.  We need to understand the flow between the Spiritual and the physical for we are the conduits between the two.

Thank You

Saturday, January 4th, 2020

I want to thank those who gave to Servias Ministries in 2019.  Your cheerful giving is credited to your account in Heaven and FATHER will bless you because of it.  Paul affirms this when he wrote by The Holy Spirit in Philippians chapter 4.  Let these words express my gratitude to you on behalf of Servias:

10 My heart overflows with joy when I think of how you showed your love to me by your financial support of my ministry. For even though you have so little, you still continue to help me at every opportunity. 11 I’m not telling you this because I’m in need, for I have learned to be satisfied in any circumstance. 12–13 I know what it means to lack, and I know what it means to experience overwhelming abundance. For I’m trained in the secret of overcoming all things, whether in fullness or in hunger. And I find that the strength of Christ’s explosive power infuses me to conquer every difficulty.

14 You’ve so graciously provided for my essential needs during this season of difficulty. 15 For I want you to know that the Philippian church was the only church that supported me in the beginning as I went out to preach the gospel. You were the only church that sowed into me financially, 16 and when I was in Thessalonica, you supported me for well over a year.

17 I mention this not because I’m requesting a gift, but so that the fruit of your generosity may bring you an abundant reward. 18 I now have all I need—more than enough—I’m abundantly satisfied! For I’ve received the gift you sent by Epaphroditus and viewed it as a sweet sacrifice, perfumed with the fragrance of your faithfulness, which is so pleasing to God!

19 I am convinced that my God will fully satisfy every need you have, for I have seen the abundant riches of glory revealed to me through the Anointed One, Jesus Christ! 20 And God our Father will receive all the glory and the honor throughout the eternity of eternities! Amen!

FATHER has a reward system in Heaven and those who understand this system will reap its abundance.  A reward system is conditional for if you give, you are rewarded.  Your giving is not conditional on whether your gift is “optimized” by the recipient but it is based on the condition of your heart when you give.  The deployment of your gift by the recipient is between him or her and FATHER.

Giving sets you up to receive from FATHER out of HIS abundance and you should expect to receive.  Paul understood this when he mentioned your abundant reward.  I seek only to write Truths which will help you reroute your path to stay fully on Jesus’ path known as The Way.  Some of these Truths are offensive in that they confront doctrines and beliefs which promote self interest versus unconditional Love.

What is the purpose of receiving a reward from Heaven?  It is to further our purpose on earth given to us before we were formed in the womb.  If you are reluctant to be a cheerful giver, you hinder your purpose.  Don’t let fear paralyze you but simply trust FATHER’S Word.

When you read these blogs, you become accountable and responsible for any revelation contained therein.  This is why I believe The Holy Spirit keeps them rather short and to the point.  There is no need to overwhelm the reader with an extensive research paper containing a multitude of points.  Take the point of each writing and discern what FATHER wants you to receive today.

My wife and I have reaped the benefits of FATHER’S reward system for decades and I want you to enjoy the fruitfulness of cheerful giving as well.  Jesus Himself said, “But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.”  He means it!  

FATHER’S Splendor

Friday, January 3rd, 2020

The Holy Spirit expressed FATHER’S awesome splendor in Psalm 19.  What you get out of this Psalm depends on the current state of your heart.  If it is truly grateful for HIS magnificence, then you will read the following verses with great reverence.  The absolute Truth purges, cleanses, and sifts away the dross in our hearts.  When this happens, our perspective changes and we begin to see the unfathomable Love FATHER has for us.

1 GOD’S splendor is a tale that is told;

HIS testament is written in the stars.

Space itself speaks HIS story every day

through the marvels of the heavens.

HIS truth is on tour in the starry vault of the sky,

showing HIS skill in creation’s craftsmanship.

2 Each day gushes out its message to the next,

night with night whispering its knowledge to all.

3 Without a sound, without a word, without a voice being heard,

4 Yet all the world can see its story.

Everywhere its gospel is clearly read so all may know.

5 What a heavenly home GOD has set for the sun,

shining in the superdome of the sky!

See how he leaves HIS celestial chamber each morning,

radiant as a bridegroom ready for HIS wedding,

like a day-breaking champion eager to run HIS course.

6 He rises on one horizon, completing HIS circuit on the other,

warming lives and lands with HIS heat.

7 GOD’s Word is perfect in every way;

how it revives (converting) our souls!

HIS laws lead us to truth,

and HIS ways change the simple into wise.

8 HIS teachings make us joyful and radiate HIS light;

HIS precepts are so pure!

HIS commands, how they challenge us to keep close to HIS heart!

The revelation-light of HIS word makes my spirit shine radiant.

9 Every one of the Lord’s commands is right (The fear of the LORD is clean, enduring forever);

following them brings cheer.

Nothing he says ever needs to be changed (The judgments of the LORD are true and righteous altogether.).

10 The rarest treasures of life are found in HIS truth.

That’s why I prize GOD’s word like others prize the finest gold.

Nothing brings the soul such sweetness

as seeking HIS living words.

11 For they warn us, HIS servants,

and keep us from following the wicked way,

giving a lifetime guarantee:

great success to every obedient soul!

12 Without this revelation-light,

how would I ever detect the waywardness of my heart?

Lord, forgive my hidden flaws whenever you find them.

13 Keep cleansing me, GOD,

and keep me from my secret, selfish sins;

may they never rule over me!

For only then will I be free from fault

and remain innocent of rebellion.

14 So may the words of my mouth, my meditation-thoughts,

and every movement of my heart be always pure and pleasing,

acceptable before your eyes,

my only Redeemer, my Protector-GOD.

If FATHER’S Word is perfect in every way, I have no need of my own opinion.  Whatever FATHER says, that’s it!  Absolute Truth does not need an additional commentary from my limited experience.  What could I add which would be deemed beneficial?  Nothing!

When we relinquish our will to FATHER, we acknowledge HIS ownership of us individually.  This is when we can truly call HIM LORD.  When we come to this point, our mind can and will be fully renewed… without limitation. 

Uncontainable Joy

Thursday, January 2nd, 2020

The Holy Spirit recorded in Proverbs chapter 3:

5 Trust in the Lord completely,

and do not rely on your own opinions.

With all your heart rely on him to guide you,

and he will lead you in every decision you make.

6 Become intimate with him in whatever you do,

and he will lead you wherever you go.

7 Don’t think for a moment that you know it all,

for wisdom comes when you adore him with undivided devotion

and avoid everything that’s wrong.

8 Then you will find the healing refreshment

your body and spirit long for.

9 Glorify God with all your wealth,

honoring him with your very best,

with every increase that comes to you.

10 Then every dimension of your life will overflow with blessings

from an uncontainable source of inner joy!

Our desire should be to walk as the full expression of Our Lord Jesus Christ to everyone we encounter.  As we do, we should expect an overflow of blessings and uncontainable joy in our hearts.  For this to happen, we cannot hold anything back which is under our control.  This includes time, priorities, thought life, and resources.

The firstfruits of our day should be given to FATHER.  If we do this, the day will have HIS blessing on it and HE is able to multiply many aspects of our daily living.  The day just goes better and the roadblocks get removed.  Some of those roadblocks are removed without our realization and I am thankful for HIM sending the angels before me for my protection.  If I honor FATHER by giving HIM my very best, then every aspect of my life will overflow with blessings.

Until you overcome the “giving” issue, your maturing process will be hindered.  I had to overcome it years ago and it was directly related to the “trust issue”.  Did I really trust FATHER’S Word enough to let go of what we call hard-earned money?  Once I overcame my own self-oriented survival orientation (promoted by the world), FATHER’S economy was revealed to me and I have been able to experience it in my own life.

I am expecting a notable acceleration of Spiritual activity and I am determined not to miss being a part of it.  I hope you share this anticipation and commitment as well.  Those of us who are willing to fully align ourselves with FATHER’S plan, will experience a unity beyond what we have seen in the past.  It is going to be an exciting year!
