Deep Mysteries

Tuesday, March 9th, 2021

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Hebrews chapter 13:

16 We will show mercy to the poor and not miss an opportunity to do acts of kindness for others, for these are the true sacrifices that delight God’s Heart.

It is my deepest desire to delight MY FATHER’S Heart and I trust that it is your desire as well.  This is exactly why The Holy Spirit has led us to give to the impoverished kids.  This gives us the opportunity to do acts of kindness to those who have FATHER’S attention.

One of the clear benefits to delighting FATHER’S Heart is that The Holy Spirit leads us into the deeper mysteries of GOD because He can trust us.  When we give without conditions, we show FATHER our maturity and trust in HIS Word.  We display unconditional Love toward others which are seen as true sacrifices of giving.

Paul also wrote by The Holy Spirit in 1st Corinthians chapter 2:

2 My brothers and sisters, when I first came to proclaim to you the secrets of God, I refused to come as an expert, trying to impress you with my eloquent speech and lofty wisdom. 2 For while I was with you I was determined to be consumed with one topic—Jesus, the crucified Messiah. 3 I stood before you feeling inadequate, filled with reverence for God, and trembling under the sense of the importance of my words. 4 The message I preached and how I preached it was not an attempt to sway you with persuasive arguments but to prove to you the Almighty Power of God’s Holy Spirit. 5 For God intended that your faith not be established on man’s wisdom but by trusting in HIS Almighty Power.

The secrets of God are reserved for the mature believers, for those who purpose to be led by The Holy Spirit.  As I pray in The Holy Spirit and study The Word in a balanced fashion, I open up the mysteries of GOD reserved for this time.  These mysteries have such a dramatic impact on me that my priorities totally change to only FATHER’S priorities.  I am no longer interested in any opinions or “conditional truths” promoted by man.  As Paul, “For I determined not to know anything among you except Jesus Christ and Him crucified.”

6 However, there is a Wisdom that we continually speak of when we are among the spiritually mature. It’s Wisdom that didn’t originate in this present age, nor did it come from the rulers of this age who are in the process of being dethroned. 7 Instead, we continually speak of this wonderful Wisdom that comes from God, hidden before now in a mystery. It is HIS secret plan, destined before the ages, to bring us into glory. 8 None of the rulers of this present world order understood it, for if they had, they never would have crucified the Lord of shining glory.9 This is why the Scriptures say:

Things never discovered or heard of before,

    things beyond our ability to imagine—

    these are the many things God has in store

    for all HIS Lovers.

10 But God now unveils these profound realities to us by the Spirit. Yes, HE has revealed to us HIS inmost Heart and deepest mysteries through the Holy Spirit, Who constantly explores all things.

I find it interesting that everything The Holy Spirit has me write to you is to direct you to these deep mysteries reserved for this time.  When FATHER told me to focus on Agape Love back in 2005, little did I realize that HIS Divine Intent was to unlock those deep mysteries reserved for this time.  Apart from what The Holy Spirit and FATHER’S Word shows me, I purpose to know nothing else.  What else really matters anyway?

Wait On THE LORD

Monday, March 8th, 2021

If we will “wait on THE LORD”, our perspective will be aligned with HIS and the problems we are currently facing will become miniscule relative to the big picture.

King David wrote by THE SPIRIT in Psalm 25:

4 Direct me, Yahweh, throughout my journey

    so I can experience Your plans for my life.

    Reveal the life-paths that are pleasing to You.

5 Escort me into Your Truth; take me by the hand and teach me.

    For You are the God of my salvation;

    I have wrapped my heart into Yours all day long!

And in Psalm 27:

14 Here’s what I’ve learned through it all:

    Don’t give up; don’t be impatient;

    be entwined as one with the Lord.

    Be brave and courageous, and never lose hope.

    Yes, keep on waiting—for HE will never disappoint you!

We are to be in rest at all times and not hinder the angels in manifesting FATHER’S perfect plan, will, and purpose in our lives.  We must not allow impatience enter in and get ahead of FATHER’S plan.  Why?  There is revelation to be given so that we walk out HIS plan in proper sequence.  Impatience causes incompleteness in the plan which only serves to delay the process.  Apparent delays often reveal the reason for such delays.  How many times have you said “If I had not been delayed, I would have been in an accident?” 

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Ephesians chapter 1:

17 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.

18 I pray that the light of God 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 God’s glorious inheritances that He finds in us, His Holy ones!

19 I pray that you will continually experience the immeasurable greatness of God’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 20 that was released when God raised Christ from the dead and exalted Him to the place of highest honor and supreme authority in the Heavenly realm! 21 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!

22 And He alone is the leader and source of everything needed in the church. God has put everything beneath the authority of Jesus Christ and has given Him the highest rank above all others. 23 And now we, His church, are His body on the earth and that which fills Him who is being filled by it!

When we wait on THE LORD, we are aligning with HIM and becoming one with HIM in perfect unity.  As we walk in perfect unity, we no longer hinder our angels’ ministry of implementing HIS Word in our lives.

The world wants to push us into constant activity.  It will overwhelm us with work and huge “to do” lists that must be completed by a certain time.  All of this is meant to make us too busy to wait on THE LORD.  Maybe it’s time to reassess our lives and ask FATHER to free the time up for us.  As we wait on HIM, we allow our Divine destiny to work itself out without unnecessary distractions.

Waiting on THE LORD causes us to ascend to a higher level of revelation which in turn increases the blessings and prosperity in our lives without the world’s “busyness”.  Be anxious for nothing!

Accept Or Reject

Sunday, March 7th, 2021

Accept or reject, that is really the question before every one of us.

The Beloved Disciple wrote in John chapter 3:

16 For here is the way God loved the world—HE gave HIS only, unique Son as a gift. So now everyone who believes in Him will never perish but experience everlasting life.

FATHER is the ultimate Giver and HE gave HIS Son to us.  However because of HIS unconditional Love, we can either accept or reject HIS gift of eternal life.  Yes, it is our choice.

Luke recorded by The Holy Spirit in chapter 24:

49 “And now I will send the Holy Spirit, just as My Father promised. But stay here in the city until the Holy Spirit comes and fills you with power from Heaven.”

Jesus joined FATHER in His giving as well for He sent The Holy Spirit to dwell inside each of us.  However, we have the right to accept or reject being infilled with The Holy Spirit with the evidence of speaking in Tongues.

As for me, I found this second Gift to be as critical as the first Gift since It provides me a direct, perfect communication with Heaven.  Believe me, in my weakness HIS grace is sufficient and complete in my life.  These perfect prayers allow me to navigate through life and direct me to fulfill HIS Divine Intent.

In October of 1971, I received this baptism of The Holy Spirit.  I had no Scriptural foundation at all and knew very little about the Words of Jesus or the Apostles.  I was truly a “babe in Christ”.  I simply submitted and received!

Each of us has the right to accept or reject FATHER’S gifts from Heaven.  I simply choose to accept.  I trust that you do too.

Impoverished Kids Update

Saturday, March 6th, 2021

We minister to impoverished kids by providing financial assistance in various forms on an ongoing basis.  100% of the tithes and offerings you send are directed to this ministry in helping the poor.  We know that FATHER takes on the responsibility to bless those who give to this ministry.

We have our “distribution channel” of teachers and counselors distribute mainly food cards (Crest Foods, Walmart), clothes, shoes, snacks, and water to those in need.  They are well acquainted with the kids and know which ones require assistance.

The following are some of the comments/details of our assistance:

The cards will help this family in every way. They have no income at

this time and they were involved in a car accident that they are now

having to pay for repairs.

A family that is trying to assimilate into the community. They have

spent years trying to come to this area and any help is greatly

appreciated.

We gave to a family that has just had some family difficulties and are

very appreciative of any help that we can provide.

We have a young lady that is a senior that just had a baby, we were

able to give her cards for Crest and Walmart – she got emotional, the

need that was met was so apparent. Wonderful.

Gave to a family that dad is unemployed and they have financial

troubles.

Gave to 2 families that are single-income/single-parent families with

special needs children.

We were able to give to a family with 7 children and a family with 8

children to help with food purchases.

We gave to a family that one parent is suffering with disabilities and

they just need some support on occasion.

We were able to give to a family that has multi-generations in the

family and needs support.

Thank you for joining us in supporting the impoverished kids in their time of need! This is Agape Love in action.

Dwelling In The Secret Place

Friday, March 5th, 2021

King David recorded by THE SPIRIT in Psalm 36:

7 O God, how extravagant is Your cherishing Love!

All mankind can find a hiding place

under the shadow of Your wings.

There is a hiding place of protection reserved for all mankind and FATHER created it out of HIS Love for us.  When we are in this hiding place, we are sowing into our future.  We are being prepared to walk at a higher level thus we must not allow ourselves to be hindered by those relationships that don’t have our best interest at heart.  Their priorities are selfish in nature and only want to “take” from others to fulfill their own needs and desires.  They don’t truly have the revelation of Agape Love thus there can be no unity.

The details of The Secret Place David spoke about in the above verse are given in Psalm 91.  FATHER clearly wants to remind us of this passage I have shared in the past.  Read it slowly and ponder every Word:

91 When you sit enthroned under the shadow of Shaddai,

you are hidden in the strength of God Most High.

2 He’s the hope that holds me and the Stronghold to shelter me,

the only God for me, and my great confidence.

3 He will rescue you from every hidden trap of the enemy,

and he will protect you from false accusation

and any deadly curse.

4 His massive arms are wrapped around you, protecting you.

You can run under His covering of majesty and hide.

His arms of faithfulness are a shield keeping you from harm.

5 You will never worry about an attack of demonic forces at night

nor have to fear a spirit of darkness coming against you.

6 Don’t fear a thing!

Whether by night or by day, demonic danger will not trouble you,

nor will the powers of evil launched against you.

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

you will remain unscathed and unharmed.

8 you will be a spectator as the wicked perish in judgment,

for they will be paid back for what they have done!

9–10 When we live our lives within the shadow of God Most High,

our secret hiding place, we will always be shielded from harm.

How then could evil prevail against us or disease infect us?

11 God sends angels with special orders to protect you wherever you go,

defending you from all harm.

12 If you walk into a trap, they’ll be there for you

and keep you from stumbling.

13 You’ll even walk unharmed among the fiercest powers of darkness,

trampling every one of them beneath your feet!

14 For here is what the Lord has spoken to me:

Because you have delighted in me as My great Lover,

I will greatly protect you.

I will set you in a high place, safe and secure before My Face.

15 I will answer your cry for help every time you pray,

and you will find and feel My Presence

even in your time of pressure and trouble.

I will be your glorious hero and give you a feast.

16 You will be satisfied with a full life and with all that I do for you.

For you will enjoy the fullness of My salvation!”

Paul understood the Secret Place as he 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.

We must not allow people to have more influence over us than Our Heavenly Father.  Their opinions are meant to be alternatives to the Absolute Truth found in Heaven.  Why listen to the “talking heads” on television whose primary objectives are to slant our mindset to align with theirs.  Their opinions will not cause us to mature as Beloved Sons and Daughters.  In fact, they will hinder our walk and growth.  Be ye separate!

Within our individual futures are “missions”.  If there is no mission, why would an angel need to visit you?  A primary angelic visitation is associated with a mission and will not promote inactivity.

The enemy wants to waste your time by sending you on alternative paths away from the Highway of Holiness.  Each one of us has been given something to help the Body of Christ and the adversary realizes this as he seeks to keep you from fulfilling your specific function in The Body of Christ.  Why do you think Jesus emphasized unity in His Prayer found in John chapter 17 (referenced in yesterday’s writing)?  He fully understands the importance of you and I fulfilling our purpose here on earth.

It is better to get understanding from a few verses of Scripture than to read many chapters without understanding.  One seed with proper nutrients and water is all it takes to produce a fruit-bearing tree.  In the hiding place, I am being formed into the Image of GOD… think about it.  I am being transformed by the renewing of my mind.  Paul received this revelation from The Holy Spirit and recorded in Romans chapter 12:

2 Stop imitating the ideals and opinions of the culture around you, but be inwardly transformed by the Holy Spirit through a total reformation of how you think. This will empower you to discern God’s will as you live a beautiful life, satisfying and perfect in His Eyes.

And in 2nd Corinthians chapter 3:

18 We can all draw close to HIM with the veil removed from our faces. And with no veil we all become like mirrors who brightly reflect the Glory of the Lord Jesus. We are being transfigured into His very Image as we move from one brighter level of glory to another. And this glorious transfiguration comes from the Lord, WHO is the Spirit.

The Prayer Of Certainty

Thursday, March 4th, 2021

Jesus spoke this prayer of certainty to FATHER in John chapter 17:

1  This is what Jesus prayed as He looked up into Heaven,

    “Father, the time has come.

    Unveil the glorious splendor of Your Son

    so that I will magnify Your glory!

2 You have already given Me authority

    over all people so that I may give

    the gift of eternal life to all those that You have given to Me.

3 Eternal life means to know and experience You

    as the only true GOD,

    and to know and experience Jesus Christ,

    as the Son whom You have sent.

4 I have glorified You on the earth

    by faithfully doing everything You’ve told Me to do.

5 So my Father, restore Me back to the glory

    that WE shared together when WE were face-to-face

    before the universe was created.”

Jesus affirmed by these Words of His existence, awareness, AND position before the universe was created.  This is why it is importance for each of us to ponder and accept what THE SPIRIT spoke 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.

FATHER, Jesus, and The Holy Spirit expressly planned our destinies before we were placed in the womb of our mothers.  Agape Love, however, gives us the choice to pursue our perfect destiny or choose some dismal alternative.  It is amazing to me that anyone would fight against such a revelation and blessing.  Only the adversary and his minions want us to walk in a life which leads toward death and destruction.  Misery loves company!

Jesus continues in His prayer of certainty:

6 “Father, I have manifested who You really are

    and I have revealed You to the men and women

    that you gave to me.

    They were Yours, and You gave them to Me,

    and they have fastened Your Word firmly to their hearts.

7 And now at last they know that everything I have is a gift from You,

8 And the very Words You gave to Me to speak

    I have passed on to them.

    They have received Your Words

    and carry Them in their hearts.

    They are convinced that I have come from Your Presence,

    and they have fully believed that You sent Me to represent You.

9 So with deep Love, I pray for my disciples.

    I’m not asking on behalf of the unbelieving world,

    but for those who belong to You,

    those You have given Me.

10 For all who belong to Me now belong to You.

    And all who belong to You now belong to Me as well,

    and My Glory is revealed through their surrendered lives.

I have surrendered my life to Jesus thus I have surrendered my life to FATHER.  Also, I have surrendered my life to The Holy Spirit and affirm this surrender daily by praying in The Holy Spirit.  This is the essence of being a “wise virgin”.  In response to me surrendering, I plant seed on behalf of the Kingdom.  I do this by sowing HIS Word, acts of Agape Love, tithes, offerings, and joyous gifts to others.  Someone who is wise not only hears the Word but responds and acts on It as well.  There are no inactive “wise virgins”.

11 “Holy Father, I am about to leave this world

    to return and be with YOU,

    but My disciples will remain here.

    So I ask that by the power of Your Name,

    protect each one that You have given Me,

    and watch over them so that they will be united

    as one, even as WE ARE ONE.

12 While I was with these that YOU have given Me,

    I have kept them safe by Your Name that You have given Me.

    Not one of them is lost,

    except the one that was destined to be lost,

    so that the Scripture would be fulfilled.

13 “But now I am returning to you so Father,

    I pray that they will experience

    and enter into My joyous delight in YOU

    so that it is fulfilled in them and overflows.

We are meant to have an overflowing joyous delight in FATHER.  As we move toward maturity, we will experience the fruit of this relationship in a greater fashion.  This joy is exactly what the enemy does not want us to experience and this is why we do battle as we pursue the Highway of Holiness.  Further, this is why The Holy Spirit had me write and reveal the devices and methods by the enemy so that we would not be ignorant and succumb to those devices of the devil.  Fear, uncertainty, and doubt must be revoked and remove from our mindsets once and for all.

14 I have given them your message

    and that is why the unbelieving world hates them.

    For their allegiance is no longer to this world

    because I am not of this world.

15 I am not asking that you remove them from the world,

    but I ask that you guard their hearts from evil,

16 For they no longer belong to this world any more than I do.

17 “Your Word is truth! So make them Holy by the Truth.

18 I have commissioned them to represent Me

    just as You commissioned Me to represent You.

19 And now I dedicate myself to them as a Holy Sacrifice

    so that they will live as fully dedicated to God

    and be made Holy by Your Truth.”

There are those in a hurry to leave the world and go straight to Heaven.  However, this was not the Divine Intent of Jesus’ prayer.  Why should we challenge the above Words?  Jesus has dedicated Himself for us to also be dedicated to FATHER and be made Holy by HIS Truth.  Let’s embrace these Words and be fruitful for The Kingdom as we live IN HIM on a daily basis.  If we are fulfilling “the book” written about us in Psalm 139:16, WE CANNOT FAIL!  Never look at a delay as a failure for there in no failure to be found in FATHER’S Divine Intent.

The following portion of His Prayer is specifically directed to you and me:

20 “And I ask not only for these disciples,

    but also for all those who will one day

    believe in Me through their message.

21 I pray for them all to be joined together as one

    even as YOU and I, Father, are joined together as ONE.

    I pray for them to become one with Us

    so that the world will recognize that You sent Me.

22 For the very Glory You have given to Me I have given them

    so that they will be joined together as one

    and experience the same unity that We enjoy.

23 You live fully in Me and now I live fully in them

    so that they will experience perfect unity,

    and the world will be convinced that You have sent Me,

    for they will see that You Love each one of them

    with the same passionate Love that You have for Me.

24 “Father, I ask that you allow everyone that You have given to Me

    to be with Me where I am!

    Then they will see My full glory—

    the very splendor You have placed upon Me

    because You have Loved Me even before the beginning of time.

25 “You are My righteous Father,

    but the unbelieving world has never known You

    in the perfect way that I know You!

    And all those who believe in Me

    also know that You have sent Me!

26 I have revealed to them who You are

    and I will continue to make You even more real to them,

    so that they may experience the same endless Love

    that You have for Me,

    for YOUR Love will now live in them, even as I live in them!”

Agape Love was present when our books were written and IT is found throughout our intended destinies.  Let us not resist one Word found in the above prayer but instead embrace EVERY WORD Jesus spoke to FATHER. 

People who look for ways to make exceptions to the above Words of Jesus in any way are doing so out of their carnal man and are listening to the adversary who wants nothing more to derail our Divine Intent.  Regrettably, they will find themselves categorized in one of the following: unwise virgins, tares, or goats.  Those who follow an unbelieving world will not enter into The Glory spoken by Jesus in the above prayer of certainty to FATHER.

Maturing In The Spirit

Tuesday, March 2nd, 2021

Jesus sent The Holy Spirit to mature and empower us so that we will be able to produce good fruit for the Kingdom.  Jesus spoke in John chapter 16:

12 “There is so much more I would like to say to you, but it’s more than you can grasp at this moment.

Without The Holy Spirit, we have difficulty grasping Spiritual Truth and Jesus knew this thus He was sending The Holy Spirit to reveal Truth and give us the capacity to grasp Spiritual Truth directly through The Holy Spirit.

13 But when the truth-giving Spirit comes, He will unveil the reality of every Truth within you. He won’t speak His own message, but only what He hears from the Father, and He will reveal prophetically to you what is to come. 14 He will glorify Me on the earth, for He will receive from Me what is Mine and reveal it to you. 15 Everything that belongs to the Father belongs to Me—that’s why I say that the Divine Encourager will receive what is Mine and reveal it to you. 16 Soon you won’t see Me any longer, but then, after a little while, you will see Me in a new way.”

These Words are packed with revelation about why we should fully submit to The Holy Spirit in every aspect of our lives.  This is also why there is such resistance by the adversary and his followers to resist this revelation and reality.  Those who resist The Holy Spirit are adversaries to these Words of Jesus.  It is that simple!

Do you want all Truth revealed?  Be led by The Holy Spirit and pray in Tongues.  Do you want to glorify Jesus?  Submit to The Holy Spirit.  Do you desire to know what is coming?  Let The Holy Spirit reveal it to you as you pray.

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Romans chapter 8:

11 Yes, God raised Jesus to life! And since God’s Spirit of Resurrection lives in you, He will also raise your dying body to life by the same Spirit that breathes life into you!

Do you want your dying body to receive the same life as Jesus?  Pray in Tongues often for The Holy Spirit will raise your dying body to life!

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in 1st Corinthians chapter 14:

14 It is good that you are enthusiastic and passionate about spiritual gifts, especially prophecy. 2 When someone speaks in Tongues, no one understands a word he says, because he’s not speaking to people, but to God—he is speaking intimate mysteries in the Spirit. 3 But when someone prophesies, he speaks to encourage people, to build them up, and to bring them comfort. 4 The one who speaks in Tongues advances his own spiritual progress, while the one who prophesies builds up the church.

Do you want to come into full Spiritual maturity?  Paul reveals his secret in the above passage- speaking in Tongues advances our Spiritual progress into full maturity.  Paul adds:

18 I give thanks to God that I speak in tongues more than all of you.

If Paul who wrote 2/3rds of The New Testament gives us the key to Spiritual maturity, why should we challenge his revelation given to him directly by Jesus Christ and The Holy Spirit?

Jude also wrote by The Holy Spirit:

20 But you, my delightfully loved friends, constantly and progressively build yourselves up on the foundation of your most Holy faith by praying every moment in The Spirit. 21 Fasten your hearts to the Love of God and receive the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ, Who gives us eternal life.

The above passages should establish our Spiritual priorities on a daily basis.  Embrace them and expect a notable advance in Spiritual maturity.

Our Words

Monday, March 1st, 2021

James wrote by The Holy Spirit in his Epistle, chapter 3:

3 My dear brothers and sisters, don’t be so eager to become a teacher in the church since you know that we who teach are held to a higher standard of judgment. 2 We all fail in many areas, but especially with our words. Yet if we’re able to bridle the words we say we are powerful enough to control ourselves in every way, and that means our character is mature and fully developed.

The words we speak have much power over our relationships, paths, fruitfulness, and progress toward full maturity.  We must tame our tongue and only promote life and fruitfulness in all areas.  Unless FATHER directs you to speak judgment over an individual, it is simply better to remain silent until Agape Love prevails in the conversation.  Our tongue needs to be fully subjected to The Holy Spirit in all areas as it was with Jesus when He walked the earth.

3 Horses have bits and bridles in their mouths so that we can control and guide their large body. 4 And the same with mighty ships, though they are massive and driven by fierce winds, yet they are steered by a tiny rudder at the direction of the person at the helm.

5 And so the tongue is a small part of the body yet it carries great power! Just think of how a small flame can set a huge forest ablaze. 6 And the tongue is a fire! It can be compared to the sum total of wickedness and is the most dangerous part of our human body. It corrupts the entire body and is a hellish flame! It releases a fire that can burn throughout the course of human existence.

There is much destructive potential with our words and we must heed the warning given to us by The Holy Spirit in the above verses.  When we pray in The Holy Spirit, our words are in perfect harmony with The Holy Spirit and we are praying forth eternity in our lives.  Demonic forces are unable to intervene in our prayers and they are unable to impact our words which are meant to promote life and restoration.

7 For every wild animal on earth including birds, creeping reptiles, and creatures of the sea and land have all been overpowered and tamed by humans, 8 but the tongue is not able to be tamed. It’s a fickle, unrestrained evil that spews out words full of toxic poison! 9 We use our tongue to praise God our Father and then turn around and curse a person who was made in his very image! 10 Out of the same mouth we pour out words of praise one minute and curses the next. My brothers and sister, this should never be!

11–12 Would you look for olives hanging on a fig tree or go to pick figs from a grapevine? Is it possible that fresh and bitter water can flow out of the same spring? So neither can a bitter spring produce fresh water.

James provides us with a confirmation of why it is so important to pray in Tongues.  When we do, we are guarding against praying with words containing “toxic poison” thus agreeing with the adversary.  It is better to say nothing than to speak such toxic words.

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.

Can you imagine FATHER speaking Words HE did not mean?  Can you imagine FATHER speaking Words of destruction over us?  Every Word which proceeds out of HIS Mouth comes to pass thus HE watches over every Word!  So should we.  Let us not take our spoken words lightly but watch over them as HE does.

When we pray in THE SPIRIT, our wills become merged with HIS thus we begin to see life and restoration occurring around us.  This is known as good fruit.  We see blessings in all that we set our hands to and no longer see scarcity prevailing in any area.   The mindset of THE SPIRIT takes over the mindset of the carnal man.  When this happens, our spirits go from glory to glory.  Let us promote this expected maturity as we carefully watch over our words.
