Again, we need to let FATHER Love us in all areas of our life.  HE is the Ultimate Giver and wants to bless us in every way.  HE is not holding back, we are!  Accept HIS Love and understand that there is no repayment for HIS Love has no conditions!

Moses recorded by The Holy Spirit in Deuteronomy chapter 30:

15 “See, I have set before you today life and good, death and evil, 16 in that I command you today to Love the LORD your God, to walk in His ways, and to keep His commandments, His statutes, and His judgments, that you may live and multiply; and the LORD your God will bless you in the land which you go to possess. 17 But if your heart turns away so that you do not hear, and are drawn away, and worship other gods and serve them, 18 I announce to you today that you shall surely perish; you shall not prolong your days in the land which you cross over the Jordan to go in and possess. 19 I call Heaven and earth as witnesses today against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing; therefore choose life, that both you and your descendants may live; 20 that you may love the LORD your God, that you may obey His voice, and that you may cling to Him, for He is your life and the length of your days; and that you may dwell in the land which the LORD swore to your fathers, to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, to give them.”

What an interesting Word from FATHER.  HE provides us with a simple choice which ought to be obvious to anyone with the ability to respond.  HIS never-ending Love is openly displayed and compared to the ramifications of rejecting HIM.  Who would knowingly choose death and evil?

In chapter 28, we are given a list of benefits of us receiving from FATHER based on our decision to choose life:

1 “Now it shall come to pass, if you diligently obey the voice of the LORD your God, to observe carefully all His commandments which I command you today, that the LORD your God will set you high above all nations of the earth. 2 And all these blessings shall come upon you and overtake you, because you obey the voice of the LORD your God:

3 “Blessed shall you be in the city, and blessed shall you be in the country.

4 “Blessed shall be the fruit of your body, the produce of your ground and the increase of your herds, the increase of your cattle and the offspring of your flocks.

5 “Blessed shall be your basket and your kneading bowl.

6 “Blessed shall you be when you come in, and blessed shall you be when you go out.

7 “The LORD will cause your enemies who rise against you to be defeated before your face; they shall come out against you one way and flee before you seven ways.

8 “The LORD will command the blessing on you in your storehouses and in all to which you set your hand, and He will bless you in the land which the LORD your God is giving you.

9 “The LORD will establish you as a holy people to Himself, just as He has sworn to you, if you keep the commandments of the LORD your God and walk in His ways. 10 Then all peoples of the earth shall see that you are called by the Name of the LORD, and they shall be afraid of you. 11 And the LORD will grant you plenty of goods, in the fruit of your body, in the increase of your livestock, and in the produce of your ground, in the land of which the LORD swore to your fathers to give you. 12 The LORD will open to you His good treasure, the heavens, to give the rain to your land in its season, and to bless all the work of your hand. You shall lend to many nations, but you shall not borrow. 13 And the LORD will make you the head and not the tail; you shall be above only, and not be beneath, if you heed the commandments of the LORD your God, which I command you today, and are careful to observe them.  

FATHER has not changed HIS Mind concerning HIS commitment to you and me.  These blessings still apply and we must not be reluctant to accept and receive them. 

My wife and I live debt free because we have embraced HIS promises and implemented them in our lives.  This allows us to give more to those in need.  FATHER is more than willing to do the same for you who are still in debt.  My GOD shall supply ALL your need according to HIS Riches from HIS Treasury. 

Don’t be reluctant to receive from FATHER in the area of debt elimination or any other commitment HE made in the above passage.  This commitment is another expression of HIS unconditional, perfect Love.

We need to let FATHER Love us in all areas of our life.  HE is the Ultimate Giver and wants to bless us in every way.  HE is not holding back, we are!  Accept HIS Love and understand that there is no repayment for HIS Love has no conditions!

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Romans chapter 8:

35 Who could ever divorce us from the endless Love of God’s Anointed One? Absolutely no one! For nothing in the universe has the power to diminish HIS Love toward us. Troubles, pressures, and problems are unable to come between us and Heaven’s Love. What about persecutions, deprivations, dangers, and death threats? No, for they are all impotent to hinder omnipotent Love,

Yes, we are called to be givers as well but moreover, we should expect to receive from FATHER in every area of our life.  We are HIS Sons and Daughters who are meant to walk daily in HIS Expressed Image.  This is HIS Divine Intent and it was HIS decision to place you and me on earth at this particular time to fulfill HIS Expressed Intent through The Holy Spirit.  This is not by accident!

Endless, Agape Love expresses Itself by giving!  My wife and I give to the poor thus we express HIS Image in our giving.  The poor have a need which is fulfilled by our giving.  FATHER does the same thing.  When we have a need, HE Lovingly and willingly wants to fulfill it.  Let us not be hesitant to receive HIS Love!

Perfect Love drives out fear.  Scarcity promotes fear in the soul but those who have truly embraced perfect Love know that FATHER will provide.  I rest in this Truth and so should you.  Why do you think that FATHER would have me write to you in such a frequent fashion?  It is to build both you and me up into Perfect Love.  This is exactly why HE instructed me to drop everything and focus on Agape Love in 2005 and then form Servias Ministries in 2006 so that you would also be given the same opportunity to focus on Agape Love through these writings. 

FATHER will get HIS Divine Intent out and be on record for all the world to see.  There will be no excuses when the time of judgment fully manifests.  Those who reject HIS Love and HIS Son are already judged so we don’t need to judge them ourselves.

Persecutions, deprivations, dangers, and death threats have nothing to do with GOD’S Love.  They are a result of the adversary attempting to divert our attention from walking in Perfect Love.  Don’t get drawn into such lies.  Simply say to the devil and his minions, “Is that all you got?”, then walk away with a smile on your face.  They will then leave and pursue someone without the revelation of Perfect Love.

Paul also wrote by The Holy Spirit in 2^nd Corinthians chapter 4:

1 Now, it’s because of God’s mercy that we have been entrusted with the privilege of this New Covenant ministry. And we will not quit or faint with weariness. 2 We reject every shameful cover-up and refuse to resort to cunning trickery or distorting the Word of God. Instead, we open up our souls to you by presenting the Truth to everyone’s conscience in the sight and presence of God. 3 Even if our Gospel message is veiled, it is only veiled to those who are perishing, 4 for their minds have been blinded by the god of this age, leaving them in unbelief. Their blindness keeps them from seeing the dayspring light of the Gospel of the glory of Christ, Who is the Divine Image of God.

5 We don’t preach ourselves, but rather the lordship of Jesus Christ, for we are your servants for Jesus’ sake. 6 For God, who said,

“Let brilliant light shine out of darkness,”

is the One who has cascaded His light into us—the brilliant dawning light of the glorious knowledge of God as we gaze into the face of Jesus Christ.

Satan is the god of this age but his days are numbered.  He has attempted to maintain control in part by killing the unborn, thinking that this generation would pass without establishing FATHER’S Kingdom on earth.  As always, he is wrong.

We reject every shameful cover-up and refuse to resort to cunning trickery or distorting the Word of God.  The devil’s attempts are being uncovered and exposed for all the world to see.  Yes, there will be those who reject the Truth and will suffer judgment for such rejection.  In fact, they are suffering now.  Let us not be found among them and suffer collateral damage.  Instead, we will walk by The Holy Spirit and steer clear of their judgment.  This is the Divine Intent of FATHER’S Love for us.  This is just one aspect of being a receiver of HIS Love: accept HIS directives even though you may not know the impact of departing certain situations and individuals.  It is always for your protection.

Let us receive from FATHER in all areas of our life!

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Romans chapter 8:

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.

“God, the heart-searcher.” God searches our hearts not just to uncover what is wrong, but to fulfill the true desire of our hearts to be fully his. Grace triumphs over judgment.

28 So we are convinced that every detail of our lives is continually woven together for good, 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!

Paul further 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.

3 Your crucifixion with Christ has severed the tie to this life, and now your true life is hidden away in God in Christ. 4 And as Christ Himself is seen for who He really is, who you really are will also be revealed, for you are now one with Him in His glory!

FATHER is now revealing those of us who are severing the tie to this life and who have been hidden away in Christ.  Expect this revealing to escalate in the days, weeks, and months ahead.  We will NOT be distracted by the natural realm but instead we will feast on all the treasures of the Heavenly realm.

The Holy Spirit revealed through Paul when he wrote in Hebrews chapter 2:

10 For now He towers above all creation, for all things exist through Him and for Him. And that God made Him, Pioneer of our salvation, perfect through His sufferings, for this is how He brings many Sons and Daughters to share in His glory. 11 Jesus, the Holy One, makes us Holy. And as Sons and Daughters, we now belong to His same Father, so He is not ashamed or embarrassed to introduce us as His Brothers and Sisters! 12 For He has said,

“I will reveal who you really are to My Brothers and Sisters,

    and I will glorify you with praises

    in the midst of the congregation.”

13 And,

“My confidence rests in God!”

And again He says,

“Here I am, One with the Children Yahweh has given Me.”

Jesus is not hesitant to call us Brothers and Sisters before FATHER’S Throne.  Let us exalt Him by not only our words but also by our actions today!

Paul continued by The Holy Spirit in Romans chapter 8:

31 So, what does all this mean? If God has determined to stand with us, tell me, who then could ever stand against us? 32 For God has proved HIS Love by giving us HIS Greatest Treasure, the gift of HIS Son. And since God freely offered Him up as the Sacrifice for us all, HE certainly won’t withhold from us anything else HE has to give.

33 Who then would dare to accuse those whom God has chosen in Love to be HIS? God HIMSELF is The Judge WHO has issued HIS final verdict over them—“Not guilty!”

34 Who then is left to condemn us? Certainly not Jesus, the Anointed One! For He gave His life for us, and even more than that, He has conquered death and is now risen, exalted, and enthroned by God at HIS Right Hand. So how could He possibly condemn us since He is continually praying for our triumph?

35 Who could ever divorce us from the endless Love of God’s Anointed One? Absolutely no one! For nothing in the universe has the power to diminish HIS Love toward us. Troubles, pressures, and problems are unable to come between us and Heaven’s Love. What about persecutions, deprivations, dangers, and death threats? No, for they are all impotent to hinder omnipotent Love,

Jesus is actively praying for you and me as you read these Words given to us by The Holy Spirit.  Expect His prayer for us to be fulfilled today!

Not only does the Holy Spirit pray for us, so does Jesus Christ. Two Divine Intercessors are praying for you and me each day. Two-thirds of the Trinity are actively engaged in intercession for us. This is typified by the incident of Moses interceding on the mountain for Israel’s victory with one hand held high by Aaron (the high priest, a type of Jesus, our High Priest) and Hur (or “light,” a metaphor for the Holy Spirit, who prays with divine illumination for our good). See Ex. 17:9–13.

Maturity is being like Our Heavenly Father.

Peter wrote by The Holy Spirit in HIS 2^nd Epistle chapter 1:

3 Everything we could ever need for life and Godliness has already been deposited in us by HIS Divine power. For all this was lavished upon us through the rich experience of knowing HIS Who has called us by name and invited us to come to HIS 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 we can experience partnership with the Divine nature, by which you have escaped the corrupt desires that are of the world.

The potential to walk in Divine Nature on earth has been deposited in each of us who have received The Holy Spirit for now He dwells in us.  However in order to walk as a partaker of Divine Nature, we have to commit ourselves on a daily basis to actively walk as a partaker of HIS Divine Nature.  Peter provides us with such a roadmap which was given to HIS by 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.

Love is constantly active among those who have devoted themselves to the above actions.  Each day should reflect the above aspects of walking in HIS image.

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Ephesians chapter 5:

1 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.

We must go beyond visitation and reside in habitation as expressed by The Holy Spirit in Psalm 91:

91 When you abide 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 be 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 loved ME, delighted in ME, and have been loyal to MY Name,

    I will greatly protect you.

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

    and you will feel MY Presence

    in your time of trouble.

    I will deliver you and bring you honor.

16 I will satisfy you with a full life and with all that I do for you.

    For you will enjoy the fullness of MY salvation!”

The Secret Place IS the place to be… and remain there!

Jesus expressed FATHER’S singular vision of Love for the called out ones, known as the true church, to come into perfect unity with a foundation of Love.  If this were not possible, FATHER would not have instructed Jesus to express such a prayer.  Nothing is impossible for GOD to bring forth on this earth. 

HIS Divine Intent is for HIS Kingdom to be “imaged” on the earth as it is in Heaven for HE made man in HIS image and placed him here to rule and reign.  If we embrace and walk in this Truth then we are partakers of HIS Divine Nature.

Jesus prayed with this complete expectation and manifestation in mind in John chapter 17:

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.

When you and I walk in Agape Love, we are promoting FATHER’S singular vision for The Kingdom.  We become an advertisement for HIS expressed Love as Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Ephesians chapter 1.

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!

Jesus prayed that you and I are meant to be expressed images of His Love on this earth and sit with Him in Heavenly places.  Each of us has been given all the resources required to fulfill our callings of HIS expressed Love on earth.  Take hold of this Truth today!

The Beloved Disciple wrote by The Holy Spirit in 1^st John chapter 4:

7 Those who are Loved by God, let His Love continually pour from you to one another, because God is Love. Everyone who Loves is fathered by God and experiences an intimate knowledge of Him. 8 The one who doesn’t Love has yet to know God, for God is Love. 9 The light of God’s Love shined within us when He sent His matchless Son into the world so that we might live through Him. 10 This is Love: He Loved us long before we Loved Him. It was His Love, not ours. He proved it by sending His Son to be the pleasing sacrificial offering to take away our sins.

11 Delightfully Loved ones, if HE Loved us with such tremendous Love, then “Loving one another” should be our way of life! 12 No one has ever gazed upon the fullness of God’s splendor. But if we Love one another, God makes His permanent home in us, and we make our permanent home IN HIM, and His Love is brought to Its full expression in us. 13 And He has given us His Spirit within us so that we can have the assurance that He lives in us and that we live IN HIM.

14 Moreover, we have seen with our own eyes and can testify to the Truth that Father God has sent HIS Son to be the Savior of the world. 15 Those who give thanks that Jesus is the Son of God live in God, and God lives in them. 16 We have come into an intimate experience with God’s Love, and we trust in the Love HE has for us.

As always, it’s all about Love!

Jesus expressed a singular vision for the called out ones, known as the true church, to come into perfect unity with a foundation of Love as He prayed in John chapter 17:

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.

Paul provides us with details as he wrote by The Holy Spirit in Ephesians chapter 4:

13 These grace ministries (five-fold ministry) 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 (the called out ones).

16 For His “Body” has been formed in His image and is closely joined together and constantly connected as one. And every member has been given Divine gifts to contribute to the growth of all; and as these gifts operate effectively throughout the whole body, we are built up and made perfect in Love.

When you and I walk in Agape Love, we are promoting FATHER’S singular vision for The Kingdom.  If you do not walk in this manner, you will have another vision which ultimately creates division.

The world wants to keep us separated and divided by any means necessary.  They seek to alter our DNA so that we will no longer be in the image of GOD.  They want us to live in constant fear as well.

The Beloved Disciple wrote by The Holy Spirit in 1^st John chapter 4:

18 There is no fear in Love; but perfect Love casts out fear, because fear involves torment. But he who fears has not been made perfect in Love.

The Holy Spirit continues to direct us to the innumerable facets of Agape Love and if we will keep our primary focus on Love, we will be led by The Holy Spirit and be equipped to thwart with every attempt by the world to control and manipulate us for their nefarious purposes.  Clearly, the “church” was ill-prepared to deal with the recent pandemic.  Let us learn from this “test” and move on to unity of a single vision perfected by Agape Love.

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Ephesians chapter 4:

11 And FATHER 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.

The fivefold ministries’ mandate is to bring forth believers to maturity so they will do their own works of ministry on behalf of the Kingdom.  Many if not most churches have failed in this simple and straightforward mandate.  They have produce pew warmers instead. 

How many churches allow The Holy Spirit to guide the service now?  In many churches you can’t even locate The Holy Spirit among the congregation.  The service has turned into a temporary feel good time for most.  Their mindset did not change and continues to be lukewarm at best.

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.

A lot of things that are happening in church are in the soulish realm, not the Spiritual realm else we all would attain the oneness of faith and unity.  Instead, there are reported over 10,000 denominations in the U.S.

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 (the called out ones).

16 For His “body” has been formed in His image and is closely joined together and constantly connected as one. And every member has been given Divine gifts to contribute to the growth of all; and as these gifts operate effectively throughout the whole body, we are built up and made perfect in Love.

You can see why many Sons and Daughters have had to leave various congregations.  Smith Wigglesworth stated that he left five different denominations after The Holy Spirit departed them.  Why spend any time in a dead or lukewarm assembly?  When you depart such assemblies, your so-called friends are revealed only as acquaintances.  As long as you agreed with their doctrine, they embraced you.  But once you departed, they cut ties with you.  Agape Love was not found among them… sadly.

In looking back, I realized that some of those in leadership were not sent by The Holy Spirit, they just went based on their soulish understanding and desires.  Why do you think so many “leave the ministry”?

Some churches hire accomplished musicians who are not saved to lead and/or participate in their music ministry.  They produce an environment based on “soul power (aka emotion)” which is counterfeit to the power of The Holy Spirit. 

This is similar to what is produced at worldly concerts with all the lights, smoke, and video enhancements.  It is hard to hear that “still small voice” when you have to wear protective ear plugs in a service.  Loud music does not get the attention of The Holy Spirit!  Emotions are meant to add to your Spiritual experience, not replace it.

It is not all the fault of the fivefold ministry for they can’t make people mature and embrace their individual callings.  Everyone who enters into an assembly has some level of accountability and responsibility.  FATHER gave us the New Testament so nobody can claim ignorance over the long run.

The fivefold ministry is meant to provoke you to change resulting in a greater level of maturity.  We must remember that we are called to be fruit inspectors and this also applies to the fivefold ministry.  They are not off limits from inspection.  If they are ineffective in producing the mandated results stated in the above passage, you must discern what your next action will be in order to stay in the Will of FATHER.  You may be called to minister to those in charge or just simply leave.  The Holy Spirit will direct you.

Jesus instructed us to be alert and ready at all times.  This is what faithful Sons and Daughters do in preparation for His return.

Jesus spoke in Luke chapter 12:

35 “Be prepared for action at a moment’s notice. 36 Be like servants anticipating their Master’s return from a wedding celebration. They are ready at a moment’s notice to unlock and open the door for Him. 37 What great joy is ahead for those who stay awake and wait for their Master’s return! He Himself will become their servant and wait on them. 38 He may appear at midnight or even later, but what great joy for the awakened ones whenever he comes! 39 Of course, if they knew ahead of time the hour of their master’s appearing, they would be alert, just as they would be ready if they knew ahead of time that a thief was coming to break into their house. 40 So keep being alert and ready at all times. For I promise you that the Son of Man will surprise you and appear when you don’t expect Him.”

41 “Lord,” Peter asked, “does this apply only to the twelve of us, or is it for everyone else as well?”

42 The Lord replied, “A Master will delegate authority in His house to a trustworthy and thoughtful manager who understands his Master’s desires. And the household manager will serve others what they need at exactly the right time. 43–44 And whenever his Master returns, He will find that His servant has served Him well. I promise you, the Master will reward Him generously and he will be placed as an overseer of everything He owns.

Jesus explicitly tells us that we will be surprised at His appearing and we won’t expect Him at that time.  People have been trying to figure out the date of His return for centuries even though He expressly tells us in the above passage that we will be surprised.

In Acts chapter 1, the disciples kept asking Jesus the same question.  He spoke:

6 Every time they were gathered together, they asked Jesus, “Lord, is it now the time 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 seized with power. You will be My messengers to Jerusalem, throughout Judea, the distant provinces—even to the remotest places on earth!”

Our minds want to analyze dates, times, and seasons as well as feast days and mathematical relationships in Scripture, looking for some indication as though they can unlock FATHER’S plan which is solely under HIS authority, not Jesus or The Holy Spirit’s.  So why do we keep burning time and resources in an effort to find out what FATHER is holding back and unwilling to disclose?  Do you really think you can outthink FATHER and find something HE failed to consider in keeping the date a mystery?  HE is Supreme and we aren’t!

For decades, prophecy teachers have been making a living by tickling people’s ears with the latest world developments pointing to some specific date of Jesus’ return.  As for me (after I tossed all the prophecy books and CD’S I acquired over the years), I am simply being alert and ready on a moment’s notice.  I will do what The Holy Spirit leads me to do on a daily basis as a faithful steward and serve others.  How simple it is and my mind is not cluttered with dates and times which come and go without results.

The disciples badgered Jesus concerning the date of His Glorious return yet He did not give it to them.  We must remember that He only spoke what FATHER directed Him to speak and share.  Nothing has changed so let us be productive for the Kingdom and direct our attention to what we need to say and do today.  Accept the reality that we will be pleasantly surprised on that day.

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

8 Love never stops Loving. It extends beyond the gift of prophecy, which eventually fades away. It is more enduring than Tongues, which will one day fall silent. Love remains long after words of knowledge are forgotten. 9 Our present knowledge and our prophecies are but partial, 10 but when love’s perfection arrives, the partial will fade away.

Various gifts of THE SPIRIT are temporary in nature, but Love is not.  Knowledge and prophecy meet a specific need and provide direction as we move on to the fulfillment of our individual callings.  They are meant to facilitate maturity among the called out ones.  Jesus told us that the greatest in Heaven is the one who serves all mankind and this can only be done out of Agape Love.

11 When I was a child, I spoke about childish matters, for I saw things like a child and reasoned like a child. But the day came when I matured, and I set aside my childish ways.

When we are immature, life is all about “me”.  How many are still walking in that mindset?  A mark of maturity is when we finally realize it is all about Jesus Christ and imitating Him on earth for the benefit of others.  Just about the time we think we are there, FATHER brings forth another test.  This provides us with perspective of where IN TRUTH we are at.

12 For now we see but a faint reflection of riddles and mysteries as though reflected in a mirror, but one day we will see face-to-face. My understanding is incomplete now, but one day I will understand everything, just as everything about me has been fully understood. 13 Until then, there are three things that remain: faith, hope, and Love—yet Love surpasses them all. So above all else, let Love be the beautiful prize for which you run.

Jesus urged us to lay up Treasures in Heaven.  He revealed this Truth to the rich young ruler and He mentioned it again to the disciples in Luke 12:

22 Jesus taught his disciples, saying, “Listen to me. Never let anxiety enter your hearts. Never worry about any of your needs, such as food or clothing. 23 For your life is infinitely more than just the food you eat or the clothing you wear. 24 Take the carefree birds as your example. Do you ever see them worry? They neither grow their own food nor put it in a storehouse for later. Yet God takes care of every one of them, feeding each of them out of the abundance of HIS Love and goodness. Isn’t your life more precious to God than a bird? Be carefree in the care of God!

25 “Does worry add anything to your life? Can it add one more year, or even one day? 26 So if worrying adds nothing, but actually subtracts from your life, why would you worry about God’s care of you?

27 “Think about the lilies. They grow and become beautiful, not because they work hard or strive to clothe themselves. Yet not even Solomon, wearing his kingly garments of splendor, could be compared to a field of lilies. 28 If God can clothe the fields and meadows with grass and flowers, can HE not clothe you as well, O struggling one with so many doubts? 29 I repeat: Don’t let worry enter your life. Live above the anxious cares about your personal needs. 30 People everywhere seem to worry about making a living, but your Heavenly Father knows your every need and will take care of you. 31 As you passionately seek HIS Kingdom, above all else, HE will supply your needs. 32 So don’t ever be afraid, dearest friends! Your loving Father joyously gives you his kingdom with all its promises!

Lastly, Jesus sums up the need to give toward our unfailing treasures secured in Heaven.

33 “Now, go and sell what you have and give to those in need; you will be making deposits in your account in Heaven, an account that will never be taken from you. Your gifts will become a secure and unfailing treasure, deposited in Heaven forever. 34 Where you deposit your treasure, that is where you fix your thoughts—and your heart will long to be there also.”

If you can grasp this Truth, you will be fully aligned with the calling of Servias Ministries.  A treasurer faithfully acquires and distributes as The Holy Spirit directs.  After all, The Holy Spirit stated in Deuteronomy chapter 8:

18 Remember the LORD your God. He is the One who gives you power to be successful (resulting in wealth), in order to fulfill the covenant He confirmed to your ancestors with an oath.

There is plenty of money and resources on earth, they simply need to be transferred to the right people! They are the ones who are imitators of FATHER and walk in Agape Love!

We continue to assist FATHER’S Kids beyond the end of the school year. They know that they can come to the school and receive assistance even though school is out for the summer. Hunger takes no time off and neither do we.

Thank you for your participation in giving to kids in need. They hold a special place in FATHER’S Heart and HE is the one who will repay and bless those who help these kids out. We are establishing hope in their lives. We distribute without any conditions attached.

It is all about Love!
