Accursed Things

Saturday, April 3rd, 2021

The adversary will use vessels of dishonor to infiltrate your house with accursed things such as gifts from others.  Witches will create such gifts and cast spells on such objects thus giving demons the legal right to attach themselves to the objects. 

An unsuspecting person will be drawn to such an object when considering the object as a gift to another.  You receive the gift given as a token of appreciation and set it inside your house.  You think nothing of the potential of receiving an accursed item in the house but later demonic activities seemingly arise out of nowhere

In Deuteronomy chapter 7, it is written by The Holy Spirit:

25 You shall burn the carved images of their gods with fire; you shall not covet the silver or gold that is on them, nor take it for yourselves, lest you be snared by it; for it is an abomination to the LORD your God. 26 Nor shall you bring an abomination into your house, lest you be doomed to destruction like it. You shall utterly detest it and utterly abhor it, for it is an accursed thing.

In times past, we have had to “cleanse” our house of certain objects which were identified as we prayed in THE SPIRIT.  We sought FATHER concerning the source of such demonic activities since there appeared no legal right for these activities occurring on our property.  We were directed to certain objects, most often they were gifts.  We either burned them in the fireplace or tossed them into the trash and removed them from the property.  We never gave them to anyone else.

An accursed thing is anything dedicated to destruction of the recipient.

People may have good intentions but if they are not led by The Holy Spirit, they may be used to allow demons to legally be geographically transported to other locations.  Third world “voodoo” is often used for this purpose.  I have seen this many times over the years.  My wife’s aunt and uncle were missionaries to Jamaica and have shared many stories concerning witches and spells they encountered.  Each time they evoked the Blood of Jesus which was the only thing the witches truly feared and caused them to stay away from their house.  They never accepted anything from suspected witches and were careful of all gifts.

In Joshua chapter 6, it is written by The Holy Spirit:

15 But it came to pass on the seventh day that they rose early, about the dawning of the day, and marched around the city seven times in the same manner. On that day only they marched around the city seven times. 16 And the seventh time it happened, when the priests blew the trumpets, that Joshua said to the people: “Shout, for the LORD has given you the city! 17 Now the city shall be doomed by the LORD to destruction, it and all who are in it. Only Rahab the harlot shall live, she and all who are with her in the house, because she hid the messengers that we sent. 18 And you, by all means abstain from the accursed things, lest you become accursed when you take of the accursed things, and make the camp of Israel a curse, and trouble it.

FATHER revealed to the children of Israel the result of taking accursed things.  They would lose battles and become unsuccessful in walking out FATHER’S Divine Intent.  We must keep our houses cleansed of accursed things in order to eliminate demonic activity assigned to these accursed things. 

Inanimate objects can carry curses else FATHER would not have alerted us through Scripture.  Identifying accursed things in the house requires sensitivity to hearing The Holy Spirit and this is another aspect of purification and being fully devoted to walking in THE SPIRIT without unneeded distractions.

The Four Challenges

Friday, April 2nd, 2021

The strategy of the devil is to keep you from walking in the Agape Love of GOD.  If he and his demons can keep you from this revelation and walk, they know you will be of little value in expanding The Kingdom of GOD on the earth.  You and I are meant to produce fruits of perfection!

In the Book of Job, we can identify four strategies that the adversary will use to keep you from serving GOD.

It is written by THE SPIRIT in chapter 1:

12 “All right, you may test him,” the LORD said to satan. “Do whatever you want with everything he possesses, but don’t harm him physically.” So Satan left the LORD’s presence.

13 One day when Job’s sons and daughters were feasting at the oldest brother’s house, 14 a messenger arrived at Job’s home with this news: “Your oxen were plowing, with the donkeys feeding beside them, 15 when the Sabeans raided us. They stole all the animals and killed all the farmhands. I am the only one who escaped to tell you.”

Others will attempt to move you to scarcity.  The Sabeans and Chaldeans stole Job’s oxen, donkeys, sheep and camels.

18 While he was still speaking, another also came and said, “Your sons and daughters were eating and drinking wine in their oldest brother’s house, 19 and suddenly a great wind came from across the wilderness and struck the four corners of the house, and it fell on the young people, and they are dead; and I alone have escaped to tell you!”

Job’s children were killed by a wind that came from the wilderness.  The adversary uses contrary wind to eliminate people, similar to when the disciples were crossing the lake.  Job’s children were targeted and separated from him using “contrary doctrines of unbelief”, especially the firstborn.

In chapter 2:

3 Then the LORD said to Satan, “Have you considered My servant Job, that there is none like him on the earth, a blameless and upright man, one who fears God and shuns evil? And still he holds fast to his integrity, although you incited Me against him, to destroy him without cause.”

4 So Satan answered the LORD and said, “Skin for skin! Yes, all that a man has he will give for his life. 5 But stretch out Your hand now, and touch his bone and his flesh, and he will surely curse You to Your face!”

6 And the LORD said to Satan, “Behold, he is in your hand, but spare his life.”

7 So Satan went out from the presence of the LORD, and struck Job with painful boils from the sole of his foot to the crown of his head. 8 And he took for himself a potsherd with which to scrape himself while he sat in the midst of the ashes.

9 Then his wife said to him, “Do you still hold fast to your integrity? Curse God and die!”

10 But he said to her, “You speak as one of the foolish women speaks. Shall we indeed accept good from God, and shall we not accept adversity?” In all this Job did not sin with his lips.

The third strategy of the devil is to use sickness and disease.  However, Job did not respond as the adversary had hoped.

The fourth strategy is to use close family members.  Notice that Job’s wife challenged his revelation.  When Peter spoke against the revelation of the cross, Jesus responded in Matthew chapter 16:

“Get behind Me, Satan! You are an offense to Me, for you are not mindful of the things of God, but the things of men.”

The devil has no new methods to challenge us in our walk.  You can expect one of these four areas to be the demons’ focus when attempting to keep us from perfection.  If you haven’t been attacked in all four areas, don’t be surprised if you have to deal with them in some manner. 

When we are aware of those devices, we can circumvent the problem early by walking in the revelation of our authority over them and we understand how to deal appropriately with them.  This describes what being an overcomer is all about!

Producing Fruits Of Perfection

Thursday, April 1st, 2021

The strategy of the devil is to keep you from walking in the Agape Love of GOD.  If he and his demons can keep you from this revelation and walk, they know you will be of little value in expanding The Kingdom of GOD on the earth.  You and I are meant to produce fruits of perfection!

Jesus spoke concerning perfection in Matthew chapter 5:

48 Since you are children of a perfect Father in Heaven, become perfect like HIM.”

When Jesus spoke the above, He spoke the Words of FATHER and we need to understand that this directive is attainable for each of us.  Don’t let the devil tell you otherwise.

Whenever you pray in Tongues, you not only build your faith up but you also build up your Love by immersing yourself in HIS Word of Love.  As we reach full maturity in Love, we will fully understand the blindness all around us and will be merciful to the current state of people. 

Jesus provided us with perspective when He was placed on the cross and stated in Luke chapter 23:

33 When they came to the place that is known as The Skull, the guards crucified Jesus, nailing him on the center cross between the two criminals. 34 While they were nailing Jesus to the cross, He prayed over and over, “Father, forgive them, for they don’t know what they’re doing.”

Our character training requires us to walk in Agape Love in the same manner as Jesus.  He was perfect and we are meant to attain the same perfection or else why would He proclaim that we are meant to do greater works than Him?

Jesus declared in John chapter 14:

12 “I tell you this timeless Truth: The person who follows Me in faith, believing in Me, will do the same mighty miracles that I do—even greater miracles than these because I go to be with my Father! 13 For I will do whatever you ask Me to do when you ask Me in My Name. And that is how the Son will show what the Father is really like and bring Glory to Him. 14 Ask Me anything in My Name, and I will do it for you!”

We must not allow anyone to promote compromise in this Word given to us.  Some will try to water down these Words because they are not pursuing this walk of Agape Love.  Their egos are simply trying to justify their current state of fruitlessness and they desire agreement from others.  Isn’t this what the people did in Malachi chapter 3 when they were challenging the tithe?  FATHER spoke:

13 ​​“Your words have been harsh against Me,”

​​Says the LORD,

​​“Yet you say,

​‘​What have we spoken against You?’

14 ​​You have said,

​‘​It is useless to serve God;

​​What profit is it that we have kept His ordinance,

​​And that we have walked as mourners

​​Before the LORD of hosts?

15 ​​So now we call the proud blessed,

​​For those who do wickedness are raised up;

​​They even tempt God and go free.’ ”

However those who feared and reverenced GOD responded with a different understanding:

16 ​​Then those who feared the LORD spoke to one another,

​​And the LORD listened and heard them;

​​So a book of remembrance was written before Him

​​For those who fear the LORD

​​And who meditate on His Name.

17 ​​“They shall be Mine,” says the LORD of hosts,

​​“On the day that I make them My jewels.

​​And I will spare them

​​As a man spares his own son who serves him.”

18 ​​Then you shall again discern

​​Between the righteous and the wicked,

​​Between one who serves God

​​And one who does not serve Him.

For those who Love GOD, Jesus has taken everything from the god of this world we need to fulfill our individual callings. As He stated, “Ask Me anything in My Name, and I will do it for you!”  Anything means anything.  The only restriction to this is our current level of revelation and understanding.  As we move on to perfection, our revelation will fully align with this emphatic statement made by Jesus. 

The five-fold ministry is meant to move the believers to this level of perfection.  If they are not fulfilling their purpose, then you should move on to where The Holy Spirit is allowed to minister this perfection.  Otherwise how will you be able to produce fruits of perfection?

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Ephesians chapter 4:

11 And He has appointed some with grace to be apostles, and some with grace to be prophets, and some with grace to be evangelists, and some with grace to be pastors, and some with grace to be teachers. 12 And their calling is to nurture and prepare all the holy believers to do their own works of ministry, and as they do this they will enlarge and build up the body of Christ. 13 These grace ministries will function until we all attain oneness into the faith, until we all experience the fullness of what it means to know the Son of God, and finally we become one into a perfect man with the full dimensions of spiritual maturity and fully developed into the abundance of Christ.

14 And then our immaturity will end! And we will not be easily shaken by trouble, nor led astray by novel teachings or by the false doctrines of deceivers who teach clever lies. 15 But instead we will remain strong and always sincere in our Love as we express the Truth. All our direction and ministries will flow from Christ and lead us deeper into Him, the anointed Head of His Body, the church.

Smith Wigglesworth was once asked why he attended five different denominations.  His reply, “When The Holy Spirit left the denomination, I did too.”  Interesting comment.
