Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in 1 Corinthians chapter 9:

24 Isn’t it obvious that all runners on the racetrack keep on running to win, but only one receives the victor’s prize? Yet each one of you must run the race to be victorious. 25 A true athlete will be disciplined in every respect, practicing constant self-control in order to win a laurel wreath that quickly withers. But we run our race to win a victor’s crown that will last forever. 26 For that reason, I don’t run just for exercise or box like one throwing aimless punches, 27 but I train like a champion athlete. I subdue my body and get it under my control, so that after preaching the good news to others I myself won’t be disqualified.

And in Romans chapter 8:

1 So now the case is closed. There remains no accusing voice of condemnation against those who are joined in life-union with Jesus, the Anointed One. 2 For the “law” of the Spirit of life flowing through the anointing of Jesus has liberated us from the “law” of sin and death. 3 For God achieved what the law was unable to accomplish, because the law was limited by the weakness of human nature.

Once we submit to the Spirit of Life, we overcome the law of sin and death.  Within this submission, we overcome both the soul and the body thus we will not be disqualified by either.

As we walk according to the Spirit of Life, we start choosing and using our words very carefully because FATHER’S Words become our words and within them are power and authority from ON HIGH.  We will refrain from “idle” words and mean what we say.

Further, we only speak the Absolute Truth rather than simply “facts” which may change depending on a revelation which will change the foundation of those facts.  It was a fact that I could not fly yet now I can fly in an airplane.  The airplane is accessing a higher law than gravity thus allowing me to operate in a “higher” plane.

Every day we draw closer to the fullness of walking according to FATHER’S perfect plan, will, and purpose for each of our lives.  We are bringing our bodies into full subjection and our minds are being transformed as we intently focus on HIS Word.  Focusing on the world and its chaos is no longer of a priority but instead we joyfully anticipate FATHER’S next move.

FATHER is not reacting to the “wiles” of the devil.  The devil and his minions are responding to FATHER’S moves.  FATHER is the initiator whereas satan is only a responder.

Very soon, our hopes will be fully manifested.  The Holy Spirit is taking hold of us in our human frailty to empower us in our weakness.  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.

As Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit:

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 is doing HIS part to move us toward fulfillment of our individual callings.  Our part is to bring our soul and body into subjection as well as remain vigilant of the devil’s attempts to deceive us.

28 So we are convinced that every detail of our lives is continually woven together to fit into GOD’S perfect plan of bringing good into our lives, for we are HIS lovers who have been called to fulfill HIS designed purpose. 29 For HE knew all about us before we were born and HE destined us from the beginning to share the likeness of HIS Son. This means the Son is the oldest among a vast family of brothers and sisters who will become just like Him.

30 Having determined our destiny ahead of time, HE called us to HIMSELF and transferred HIS perfect righteousness to everyone HE called. And those who possess HIS perfect righteousness HE co-glorified with HIS Son!

Don’t these Words fill you with joy?  They do me.  Let us be fully encouraged as:

7 Even in a time of disaster, with thousands and thousands being killed,

we will remain unscathed and unharmed.

8 we will be spectators as the wicked perish in judgment,

for they will be paid back for what they have done!  (Psalm 91)

The Sabbath and the tithe were given to help us.  Both are meant to show us our Source.  We must not conjure up rationalizations to eliminate this Truth from our consciousness.  Our minds must be transformed and accept the Truth in all areas without resistance.

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in 2 Corinthians chapter 10:

5 We can demolish every deceptive fantasy that opposes GOD and break through every arrogant attitude that is raised up in defiance of the true knowledge of GOD. We capture, like prisoners of war, every thought and insist that it bow in obedience to the Anointed One. 6 Since we are armed with such dynamic weaponry, we stand ready to punish any trace of rebellion, as soon as you choose complete obedience

How can you and I be in complete unity if we don’t establish our relationship on Absolute Truth?  Varying opinions ultimately cause division.  Thankfully, Agape Love provides the longsuffering until we align ourselves with FATHER’S Truth.

You and I each have the responsibility to cast down every thought and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of GOD.  We must take our thoughts captive and overcome the soulishness.

Jesus spoke in Matthew chapter 25:

31 “When the Son of Man appears in his majestic glory, with all his angels by his side, he will take his seat on his throne of splendor, 32 and all the nations will be gathered together before him. And like a shepherd who separates the sheep from the goats, he will separate all the people. 33 The ‘sheep’ he will put on his right side and the ‘goats’ on his left. 34 Then the King will turn to those on his right and say, ‘You have a special place in my Father’s heart. Come and experience the full inheritance of the kingdom realm that has been destined for you from before the foundation of the world! 35 For when you saw me hungry, you fed me. When you found me thirsty, you gave me something to drink. When I had no place to stay, you invited me in, 36 and when I was poorly clothed, you covered me. When I was sick, you tenderly cared for me, and when I was in prison you visited me.’

37 “Then the Godly will answer him, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty and give you food and something to drink? 38 When did we see you with no place to stay and invite you in? When did we see you poorly clothed and cover you? 39 When did we see you sick and tenderly care for you, or in prison and visit you?’

40 “And the King will answer them, ‘Don’t you know? When you cared for one of the least important of these my little ones, my true brothers and sisters, you demonstrated love for me.’

41 “Then to those on his left the King will say, ‘Leave me! For you are under the curse of eternal fire that has been destined for the devil and all his demons. 42 For when you saw me hungry, you refused to give me food, and when you saw me thirsty, you refused to give me something to drink. 43 I had no place to stay, and you refused to take me in as your guest. When you saw me poorly clothed, you closed your hearts and would not cover me. When you saw that I was sick, you didn’t lift a finger to help me, and when I was imprisoned, you never came to visit me.’

44 “And then those on his left will say, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty and not give you food and something to drink? When did we see you homeless, or poorly clothed? When did we see you sick and not help you, or in prison and not visit you?’

45 “Then he will answer them, ‘Don’t you know? When you refused to help one of the least important among these my little ones, my true brothers and sisters, you refused to help and honor me.’ 46 And they will depart from his presence and go into eternal punishment. But the Godly and Beloved ‘sheep’ will enter into eternal bliss.”

The division is occurring and let me assure you, none of us want to be on the wrong side of Jesus.  If you need to repent, then do it.  The time is short and we must not back off, for “now is the time”.

You should not attempt to water down this warning but instead heed it and make any necessary adjustments to your focus.  Each of us has our own lamp and oil.  Don’t expect to rely on someone else to provide you oil.

We have been preparing ourselves for what immediately lies ahead.  Not only is the soul of this nation at stake, but this battle will reach the uttermost parts of the earth.  The battle is and will be fought in the spiritual realm and we see its results in the physical.

This is not a time for living a life of compromise as FATHER will no longer withhold HIS Judgment.  You and I want to be on the right side of this spiritual war so let us gird ourselves up with HIS Truth coming forth out of our mouths.  I no longer have an opinion or view outside what FATHER’S Word says. 

I am not interested in arguing or debating with others concerning the current political scene.  We are to judge by the men’s fruit, not by the rhetoric coming from the adversary’s minions.  Expect to lose friends who resist being led by The Holy Spirit.  FATHER will provide others.

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in 2 Corinthians chapter 6:

14 Don’t continue to team up with unbelievers in mismatched alliances, for what partnership is there between righteousness and rebellion? Who could mingle light with darkness? 15 What harmony can there be between Christ and Satan? Or what does a believer have in common with an unbeliever? 16 What friendship does GOD’S Temple have with demons? For indeed, we are the Temple of the living GOD, just as GOD has said:

I will make my home in them and walk among them.

I will be their God, and they will be MY people.

17 For this reason,

“Come out from among them and be separate,” says the Lord.

“Touch nothing that is unclean, and I will embrace you.

18 I will be a true Father to you,

    and you will be MY Beloved Sons and Daughters,”

    says the Lord Yahweh Almighty.

Satan is real and demons are real.  Some would try to redefine the adversary and his disembodied entities into a fairy tale thus having no relevance or impact today.  However I have seen demons as well as angels.  I have had supernatural interventions by angles keeping from death.  No one can talk me out of their existence… it’s too late.

Mathew recorded by The Holy Spirit in chapter 25:

25 “At the time My coming draws near, Heaven’s Kingdom realm can be compared to ten maidens who took their oil lamps and went outside to meet the bridegroom and his bride. 2–4 Five of them were foolish and ill-prepared, for they took no extra oil for their lamps. Five of them were wise and sensible, for they took flasks of olive oil with their lamps. 5 When the bridegroom didn’t come when they expected, they all grew drowsy and fell asleep. 6 Then suddenly, in the middle of the night, they were awakened by the shout ‘Get up! The bridegroom is here! Come out and have an encounter with him!’ 7 So all the girls got up and trimmed their lamps. 8 But the foolish ones were running out of oil, so they said to the five wise ones, ‘Share your oil with us, because our lamps are going out!’

The oil represents The Holy Spirit.  The five wise maidens had sufficiently prepared for His Coming by praying in The Holy Spirit on a consistent basis.  They had proven out their priorities due to their wise and sensible walk.  It is wise for me to pray in Tongues every day, not only first thing in the morning but throughout the day as I am led.  What better way to communicate with My Heavenly Father!

The foolish maidens became drowsy and fell asleep.  They became “numb” and changed their priorities.  They started sleeping later and later seeing no need to be vigilant.  Sadly when the Bridegroom came, they were no longer prepared.

9 “‘We can’t,’ they replied. ‘We don’t have enough for all of us. You’ll have to go and buy some for yourselves!’

10 “While the five girls were out buying oil, the bridegroom appeared. Those who were ready and waiting were escorted inside with him and the wedding party to enjoy the feast. And then the door was locked. 11 Later, the five foolish girls came running up to the door and pleaded, ‘Lord, Lord, let us come in!’

12 “But he called back, ‘Go away! Do I know you? I can assure you, I don’t even know you!’

13 “That is the reason you should always stay awake and be alert, because you don’t know the day or hour when the Bridegroom will appear.”

I can’t give you my oil of anointing for it is not transferrable. The hours, days, and years I have prayed in The Holy Spirit can only be credited to my account in Heaven.  For years I have been warning my brothers and sisters to remain vigilant and stay prepared.  Some have heeded the Wisdom given to me by The Holy Spirit and are prepared.  Others have simply fallen asleep and are now in a deep slumber.

The next four months are critical to the Body of Christ and require those of us who have kept our lamps trimmed to press into the spirit realm like never before.  These are Biblical times to say the least and we have been chosen for such a time as this.

Are you having trouble waking up in the morning to pray?  If so and if you are willing, ask FATHER to intervene.  Trust me, HE will.  Let our lamps be fully trimmed as we go forth with Our Lord Jesus being at the forefront of the battle.

Paul gives us seven empowering motivations by which we are to live our lives as he wrote by The Holy Spirit in 2 Corinthians chapter 5:

4 So, while living in this “tent,” we groan under its burden, not because we want to die but because we want these new bodies. We crave for all that is mortal to be swallowed up by eternal life. 5 And this is no empty hope, for GOD HIMSELF is the One Who has prepared us for this wonderful destiny. And to confirm this promise, HE has given us the Holy Spirit, like an engagement ring, as a guarantee.

6 That’s why we’re always full of courage. Even while we’re at home in the body, we’re homesick to be with the Master— 7 for we live by faith, not by what we see with our eyes. 8 We live with a joyful confidence, yet at the same time we take delight in the thought of leaving our bodies behind to be at home with the Lord. 9 So whether we live or die we make it our life’s passion to live our lives pleasing to Him. 10 For one day we will all be openly revealed before Christ on His throne so that each of us will be duly recompensed for our actions done in life, whether good or worthless.

11 Since we are those who stand in holy awe of the Lord, we make it our passion to persuade others to turn to Him. We know that our lives are transparent before the GOD who knows us fully, and I hope that we are also well known to your consciences. 12 Again, we are not taking an opportunity to brag, but giving you information that will enable you to be proud of us, and to answer those who esteem outward appearances while overlooking what is in the heart.

13 If we are out of our minds in a blissful, divine ecstasy, it is for GOD, but if we are in our right minds, it is for your benefit. 14 For it is Christ’s love that fuels our passion and motivates us, because we are absolutely convinced that He has given his life for all of us. This means all died with him,

The above seven motivations are culminated in the last- Christ’s Love and that fuels my passion and motivation to write and encourage you.  Paul’s motivations were revealed to us by The Holy Spirit so that we could assess our individual walks to determine where we stand.

15 so that those who live should no longer live self-absorbed lives but lives that are poured out for Him—the one who died for us and now lives again. 16 So then, from now on, we have a new perspective that refuses to evaluate people merely by their outward appearances. For that’s how we once viewed the Anointed One, but no longer do we see Him with limited human insight.

As FATHER’S Love overtakes us, we will see others in a different light.  We will understand those who are in desperation and no longer judge them based on their current situation.  We will look to restore them to FATHER since HE knew them before HE formed them in the womb.

Let us pursue a walk with the proper motivations based on Agape Love.  Not only will we benefit but those around will enjoy our ministry toward others.

Paul is stating that the motivating passion of his life is Christ’s Love filling his heart, leaving him no choice but to surrender everything to GOD.

(1) The Holy Spirit

(2) faith

(3) a joyful confidence that we have new bodies waiting for us in heaven

(4) our life’s passion to live for Christ

(5) the knowledge of our appointment to stand before Christ

(6) our holy awe of God

(7) Christ’s endless Love for us

These are my motivations as well.  With these motivations, we cannot lose.

Do I tithe into Servias Ministries?  The Holy Spirit wants me to share this since there is someone who questions the motivation of the blogs written concerning finances and giving.

My answer is a resounding YES, absolutely.  I continue to work “part-time” in the IT industry and generate income for my family.  We tithe from this income, investments, and retirement income.  I am grateful for FATHER’S great grace and mercy in my life and HE and I have a history of HIM blessing my family.

Over the years, HE has tested and trained me in the area of finances.  HE has miraculously paid off houses and cars thus today we have no debt.  It is all about obedience to both HIS written Word and HIS spoken Word.

Am I special to HIM? Yes, but you are too.  HE Loves to see HIS Sons and Daughters trust IN HIM to do HIS Word in their lives.

Greed (love of money) is the root of all evil and it is tied closely to fear.  People are fearful thus they live in a scarcity-oriented mindset.  I choose to live in FATHER’S Mindset of abundance thus I expect blessing to come my way, and it does.  As I said, FATHER and I have a history.

At this point, we tithe only into Servias Ministries as directed by The Holy Spirit.  We pray over our tithe and trust FATHER for a harvest of good fruit.  Right now, Servias is focused on giving to impoverished children for they are precious in HIS Sight.  When you give into Servias Ministries, you are not supporting me or my family, you are helping the impoverished kids. 

Servias does not have a payroll and never has.  If FATHER determines to enlarge Servias, then we will hire necessary people.  As for now, writing to you on a daily basis is what The Holy Spirit wants me to do.  I do it out of Love and hope it ministers to you resulting in you moving toward greater maturity so that you walk in HIS power and authority.

I am thankful for those who have joined me in cheerful giving to help the less fortunate… FATHER is too.  HE knows our hearts and looks forward to blessing us in return.

In Matthew chapter 25, Jesus spoke (after His end time discussion in chapter 24):

14 “Again, Heaven’s kingdom realm is like the wealthy man who went on a long journey and summoned all his trusted servants and assigned his financial management over to them. 15 Before he left on his journey, he entrusted a bag of five thousand gold coins to one of his servants, to another a bag of two thousand gold coins, and to the third a bag of one thousand gold coins, each according to his ability to manage.

16 “The one entrusted with five thousand gold coins immediately went out and traded with the money, and he doubled his investment. 17 In the same way, the one who was entrusted with two thousand gold coins traded with the sum and likewise doubled his investment. 18 But the one who had been entrusted with one thousand gold coins dug a hole in the ground and buried his master’s money.

19 “After much time had passed, the master returned to settle accounts with his servants. 20 The one who was entrusted with five thousand gold coins came and brought ten thousand, saying, ‘See, I have doubled your money.’

21 “Commending his servant, the master replied, ‘You have done well, and proven yourself to be my loyal and trustworthy servant. Because you have been a faithful steward to manage a small sum, now I will put you in charge of much, much more. You will experience the delight of your master, who will say to you, “Come celebrate with me!”’

22 “Then the one who had been entrusted with two thousand gold coins came in and said, ‘See, my master, I have doubled what you have entrusted to me.’

23 “Commending his servant, the master replied, ‘You have done well, and proven yourself to be my loyal and trustworthy servant. Because you were faithful to manage a small sum, now I will put you in charge of much, much more. You will experience the delight of your master, who will say to you, “Come celebrate with me!”’

24 “Then the one who had been entrusted with one thousand gold coins came to his master and said, ‘Look, sir. I know that you are a hard man to please and you’re a shrewd and ruthless businessman who grows rich on the backs of others. 25 I was afraid of you, so I went and hid your money and buried it in the ground. But here it is—take it, it’s yours.’

26 “Angered by what he heard, the master said to him, ‘You’re an untrustworthy and lazy servant! If you knew I was a shrewd and ruthless business man who always makes a profit, why didn’t you deposit my money in the bank? 27 Then I would have received it all back with interest when I returned. 28 But because you were unfaithful, I will take the one thousand gold coins and give them to the one who has ten thousand. 29 For the one who has will be given more, until he overflows with abundance. And the one with hardly anything, even what little he has will be taken from him.’

30 “Then the master said to his other servants, ‘Now, throw that good-for-nothing servant far away from me into the outer darkness, where there will be great misery and anguish!’”

Let us not be found in unbelief when He returns.  The tithing question has been answered for the person or persons who have questioned my motivation in writing concerning giving.

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Galatians chapter 5:

22–23 But the fruit produced by the Holy Spirit within you is Divine Love in all its varied expressions:

joy that overflows,

peace that subdues,

patience that endures,

kindness in action,

a life full of virtue,

faith that prevails,

gentleness of heart, and

strength of spirit

Never set the law above these qualities, for they are meant to be limitless.

The “fruit” (singular) of the Holy Spirit is Love, with the other virtues displaying aspects of the greatest quality of Spirit-life, Agape Love.  Love is preeminent and the other fruit result from the revelation of Agape Love.

John had this revelation as he wrote by The Holy Spirit in 1 John chapter 3:

10 Here is how God’s children can be clearly distinguished from the children of the Evil One. Anyone who does not demonstrate righteousness and show Love to fellow believers is not living with God as his source.

11 The beautiful message you’ve heard right from the start is that we should walk in self-sacrificing Love toward one another. 12 We should not be like Cain, who yielded to the Evil One and brutally murdered his own brother, Abel. And why did he murder him? Because his own actions were evil and his brother’s righteous.

13 So don’t be shocked, beloved brothers and sisters, if you experience the world’s hatred. 14 Yet we can be assured that we have been translated from spiritual death into spiritual life because we Love the family of believers. A loveless life remains spiritually dead. 15 Everyone who keeps hating a fellow believer is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has eternal life residing in him.

16 This is how we have discovered Love’s reality: Jesus sacrificed his life for us. Because of this great Love, we should be willing to lay down our lives for one another. 17 If anyone sees a fellow believer in need and has the means to help him, yet shows no pity and closes his heart against him, how is it even possible that God’s Love lives in him?

Agape Love initiates actions and produces results.  Jesus’ Love produced faith in me because of the assurance of His Love for me.  With that assurance I was able to accept all of the other promises given to me by FATHER.

Agape Love gives me joy and peace.  Agape Love encourages me to be longsuffering and walk in kindness.  In addition, I take on FATHER’S quality of

Goodness and become faithful in all HE is directing me to say and do by HIS Holy Spirit.  With this confidence I walk in gentleness and self-control. It all results from Agape Love being manifested toward me and in me.

We must not simply group Agape Love with the other fruit as though it comes forth after the other fruit are manifested.  Can you have true joy without Agape Love?  Can you truly be longsuffering without Agape Love?

As Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in 1 Corinthians chapter 13:

1 If I were to speak with eloquence in earth’s many languages, and in the heavenly tongues of angels, yet I didn’t express myself with Love, my words would be reduced to the hollow sound of nothing more than a clanging cymbal.

2 And if I were to have the gift of prophecy with a profound understanding of FATHER’S hidden secrets, and if I possessed unending supernatural knowledge, and if I had the greatest gift of faith that could move mountains, but have never learned to Love, then I am nothing.

3 And if I were to be so generous as to give away everything I owned to feed the poor, and to offer my body to be burned as a martyr, without the pure motive of Love, I would gain nothing of value.

The mind likes group these qualities as simple “nine gifts of The Spirit” but I say to you that we should look at them as “One plus eight resulting fruit of The Spirit” since Agape Love comes before the rest will materialize. 

As Jesus spoke in John chapter 3:

16 For this is how much GOD Loved the world—HE gave HIS one and only, unique Son as a gift. So now everyone who believes in Him will never perish but experience everlasting life.

Love came first and the other gifts followed.  Selah!

FATHER warned me of technology failures and I recently wrote a blog of this warning. Two different major company sites were having problems today. Here is one such example:

When a major banking institution has an “Internet” problem, how are their customers able to pay their bills and/or access their accounts?

These are not the only recent instances. However, both occurred within an hour of each other. I experience or observe a failure just about every day now.

Be prepared and expect the unexpected!

Peter wrote by The Holy Spirit in his 2^nd Epistle in 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.

The word lavished means: expended, bestowed, or occurring in profusion (in abundance).  FATHER is holding nothing back from HIS Sons and Daughters.  In fact, we have an abundance of HIS virtues within us awaiting our realization of this reality.  The supernatural is within us if we would only realize such power awaits our use and operation.  Do you think The Holy Spirit simply wants to stay dormant in you throughout your life?

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.

We have a choice to walk in some degree of darkness or we can embrace FATHER’S Word and HIS Holy Spirit enabling us to overcome the world and all its devices.  What’s it gonna be? 

During the 1970’s and 80’s, faith was the revelation being preached to us.  The “faith” teachers led us to believe if we operated in faith, we were somewhat complete.  None of us questioned the “superiority” of faith during that movement but it wasn’t producing an abundance of good fruit as promised.  How were we so blind!

Peter continued with the revelation given to him by Our Lord Jesus and The Holy Spirit:

5 So devote yourselves to lavishly supplementing your faith with goodness,

and to goodness add understanding,

6 and to understanding add the strength of self-control,

and to self-control add patient endurance,

and to patient endurance add Godliness,

7 and to Godliness add mercy toward your brothers and sisters,

and to mercy toward others add unending Love.

8 Since these virtues are already planted deep within, and you possess them in abundant supply, they will keep you from being inactive or fruitless in your pursuit of knowing Jesus Christ more intimately.

The Holy Spirit is revealing the Divine Mystery of Jesus Christ and His empowerment residing on the inside of us and we have an abundant supply His virtues awaiting our use and implementation.  Once we have this revelation, we have no excuse but to pursue their full expression in our lives.

9 But if anyone lacks these things, he is blind, constantly closing his eyes to the mysteries of our faith, and forgetting his innocence—for his past sins have been washed away.

We are blind if these virtues are not operating in our lives.  We don’t need to pray for an impartation of these virtues, we need to pray for the blindness to be removed so that we can walk according to what is already deposited within us.  Our flesh would prefer we remain blind to such a wonderful revelation of who we truly are in Christ.  We either believe this Word from The Holy Spirit or we choose to remain blind. 

I have staked my life on FATHER and HIS Word so I fully embrace these Truths.  As our blindness is removed, we can truly see how we can walk fully led by The Holy Spirit in all areas of our life no matter what circumstances we face.  Focus on these virtues and expect them to begin producing fruit in your life.  The people around us need to eat of the virtuous fruit we are producing.

Moses wrote by The Holy Spirit in Genesis chapter 12:

1 Now the LORD had said to Abram:

​

​​“Get out of your country,

​​From your family

​​And from your father’s house,

​​To a land that I will show you.

2 ​​I will make you a great nation;

​​I will bless you

​​And make your name great;

​​And you shall be a blessing.

3 ​​I will bless those who bless you,

​​And I will curse him who curses you;

​​And in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.”

​

FATHER took on the responsibility to bless Abram and those people who blessed Abram as well.  They received blessing because they “blessed” Abram even though they did not have a direct covenant with FATHER.  I have personally seen this Truth operate in my business career.  I have also observed the results of the curse on people who have dealt in an unrighteous manner toward HIS Sons.

After Abram rescued Lot from Sodom and Gomorrah, he encountered Melchizedek king of Salem.  Each step of Abram had been ordered and his blessings had continued, even when he conducted a rescue of his nephew.  In Genesis chapter 14, it is written by The Holy Spirit:  

18 Then Melchizedek king of Salem brought out bread and wine; he was the priest of God Most High. 19 And he blessed him and said:

​

​​“Blessed be Abram of God Most High,

​​Possessor of heaven and earth;

20 ​​And blessed be God Most High,

​​Who has delivered your enemies into your hand.”

​

And he gave him a tithe of all.

21 Now the king of Sodom said to Abram, “Give me the persons, and take the goods for yourself.”

22 But Abram said to the king of Sodom, “I have raised my hand to the LORD, God Most High, the Possessor of heaven and earth, 23 that I will take nothing, from a thread to a sandal strap, and that I will not take anything that is yours, lest you should say, ‘I have made Abram rich’— 24 except only what the young men have eaten, and the portion of the men who went with me: Aner, Eshcol, and Mamre; let them take their portion.”

Why did Melchizedek come out of Salem (Jerusalem) to meet with Abram?  Abram’s wealth and increase needed to be cleansed and blessed before coming any closer to Salem.  The tithe cleanses the rest.  Melchizedek brought bread and wine to take communion with Abram thus the tithe was sealed upon taking communion with Melchizedek.  All unrighteousness was being removed from Abram’s “assets”.  This was required before entry into Salem (complete, safe, peaceful, perfect, whole, full, at peace).

This tithe occurred before The Law, before Abram’s name change, and before details of the communion had been given.  Would Abram’s name change (nature change) have occurred without this critical event?  This event established that Abram was not led by greed but instead he willingly gave Melchizedek a tenth of all his possessions.

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Romans chapter 11:

16 Since Abraham and the patriarchs are consecrated and set apart for God, so also will their descendants be set apart. If the roots of a tree are holy and set apart for God, so too will be the branches.

And:

19 You might begin to think that some branches were pruned or broken off just to make room for you. 20 Yes, that’s true. They were removed because of their unbelief. But remember this: you are only attached by your faith. So don’t be presumptuous, but stand in awe and reverence. 21 Since God didn’t spare the natural branches that fell into unbelief, perhaps HE won’t spare you either!

22 So fix your gaze on the simultaneous kindness and strict justice of God. How severely HE treated those who fell into unbelief! Yet how tender and kind is HIS relationship with you. So keep on trusting in his kindness; otherwise, you also will be cut off.

The world would have us believe that we are moving toward greater scarcity yet FATHER blesses those who honor HIM with their cheerful tithe.  Unbelief moves a person toward scarcity for he or she does not truly believe in FATHER’S blessings toward those who give with the right motivation.  The tithe cleanses the “whole”.

The media would have us focus on the pandemic whereas Jesus wants us to focus on establishing FATHER’S Kingdom on earth.  Where does your focus lie?

Luke wrote by The Holy Spirit in Acts chapter 1:

1 To Theophilus, the lover of GOD.

I write to you again, my dear friend, to give you further details about the life of our Lord Jesus and all the things that He did and taught.

2 Just before He ascended into heaven, He left instructions for the apostles He had chosen by the Holy Spirit. 3 After the sufferings of His cross, Jesus appeared alive many times to these same apostles over a forty-day period. Jesus proved to them with many convincing signs that He had been resurrected.

During these encounters, He taught them the Truths of GOD’s Kingdom realm 4 and shared meals with them.

Jesus instructed them, “Don’t leave Jerusalem, but wait here until you receive the gift I told you about, the gift The FATHER has promised. 5 For John baptized you in water, but in a few days from now you will be baptized in the Holy Spirit!”

6 Every time they were gathered together, they asked Jesus, “Lord, is it the time now for you to free Israel and restore our kingdom?”

7 He answered, “The FATHER is the one who sets the fixed dates and the times of their fulfillment. You are not permitted to know the timing of all that HE has prepared by HIS own authority. 8 But I promise you this—the Holy Spirit will come upon you and you will be filled with power. And you will be My messengers to Jerusalem, throughout Judea, the distant provinces—even to the remotest places on earth!”

9 Right after He spoke those words, the disciples saw Jesus lifted into the sky and disappear into a cloud! 10 As they stared into the sky, watching Jesus ascend, two men in white robes suddenly appeared beside them. 11 They told the startled disciples, “Galileans, why are you staring up into the sky? Jesus has been taken from you into heaven, but he will come back the same way that you saw him ascend.”

If you only had forty days left on earth, what would you be doing?  Establishing your future or recounting the past?  Jesus had spent the first forty days of His ministry being tested so He took advantage of His last forty days by ministering and teaching exactly what the disciples needed- focus on The Kingdom.

What is your number one priority?  I can tell you mine.  The first thing every morning I pray in Tongues.  Why?  Jesus established the importance of being led by The Holy Spirit else FATHER would not have immediately provided such a gift of empowerment once Jesus left the earth.

Jesus gave clear instructions and priority of receiving The Holy Spirit to the disciples.  Does the five-fold ministry give the same priority today?  Many of the churches in the United States has have relegated the baptism of The Holy Spirit to some back room so as not to make their congregation uncomfortable.  An uncomfortable immature congregation will interrupt the cash flow if they are challenged in any way.

Why do you think the world is in the mess they are in allowing those who are currently in control to shut down entire countries due to a virus that has taken less lives than abortion or tuberculosis?  It is clearly that last ditch effort of the adversary to prevent the Great Awakening in the TRUE CHURCH.

FATHER spoke in Haggai:

3 Then the word of the LORD came by Haggai the prophet, saying, 4 “Is it time for you yourselves to dwell in your paneled houses, and this temple to lie in ruins?” 5 Now therefore, thus says the LORD of hosts: “Consider your ways!

​6 ​​“You have sown much, and bring in little;

​​You eat, but do not have enough;

​​You drink, but you are not filled with drink;

​​You clothe yourselves, but no one is warm;

​​And he who earns wages,

​​Earns wages to put into a bag with holes.”

​7 Thus says the LORD of hosts: “Consider your ways! 8 Go up to the mountains and bring wood and build the temple, that I may take pleasure in it and be glorified,” says the LORD. 9 “You looked for much, but indeed it came to little; and when you brought it home, I blew it away. Why?” says the LORD of hosts. “Because of MY House that is in ruins, while every one of you runs to his own house. 10 Therefore the heavens above you withhold the dew, and the earth withholds its fruit.

The people were focused on their own house and not FATHER’S House thus HIS Kingdom.  As a result, they lived in scarcity.  We must reestablish our priorities if we as individuals will partake of HIS Divine Nature here on earth.  Those who honor and are led by The Holy Spirit will walk in the same empowerment as the apostle in the Book of Acts.  The purpose of empowerment is to establish FATHER’S Kingdom on earth!

I am not ashamed of The Holy Spirit nor do I hide the fact that I speak in Tongues more than most.  Let us be bold in our beliefs and acts accordingly.  It is critical that we maintain the proper focus in these times for the Great Awakening is at hand.
