When?

Wednesday, September 8th, 2021

The world wants to diminish the value of Jesus’ Words.  FATHER is always speaking forth greater value toward us that aligns with what HE wrote in our book.  We are valuable to HIM and we need to pay close attention to the Words of Jesus.

Jesus spoke in Matthew chapter 24:

35 “The earth and sky will wear out and fade away before one Word I speak loses its power or fails to accomplish its purpose.”

Jesus tells us to pay close attention to every Word He speaks, without exception.  We should not assign a lower value to His Words in the Gospels than those Words given to us in the Epistles.

36 “Concerning that day and exact hour, no one knows when it will arrive, not even the angels of heaven—only the Father knows. 37 For it will be like it was in the days of Noah when the Son of Man appears. 38 Before the flood, people lived their lives eating, drinking, marrying, and having children. 39 They didn’t realize the end was near until Noah entered the ark, and then suddenly, the flood came and took them all away in judgment. It will happen the same way when the Son of Man appears. 40 At that time, two men will be working on the farm; one will be taken away in judgment, the other left. 41 Two women will be grinding grain; one will be taken away in judgment, the other left. 42 This is why you must stay alert: because no one knows the day your Lord will come.

It is also recorded in Acts chapter 1 when Jesus responded to the question posed by the disciples:

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.

Jesus does not know when “the second coming” will take place.  Neither do the angels.  Only Father knows!  Jesus told us twice that it is up to FATHER ONLY to determine when the end time events will transpire.  In the meantime, set aside your end time prophecy books and CD’S and focus on doing your part to establish the Kingdom on earth.  FATHER will take care of the rest.

Kids Assistance Update

Tuesday, September 7th, 2021

Our kids in need went back to school within the last two weeks only to deal with the “mask mandate”/quarantine protocols that are being required of them.

In speaking with the superintendent, the teachers and counselors are overwhelmed with all the extra monitoring and reporting. I have suspended my request for specific testimonies until things settle down.

I suggest that you pray for the teachers, counselors, and kids to give them strength during this stressful time. Our goal is to encourage the kids that they are valuable and we will continue providing gift and food cards so that they can be sustained during this time. The distribution of cards has not ceased but continues to be a source of assistance.

Thank you for your continued support!

Hearing Father

Sunday, September 5th, 2021

FATHER is always speaking clearly in THE  SPIRIT.  People have turned up the other voices of the world which are competing with HIS Voice and those voices obscure HIS Voice.

If you want to hear FATHER’S Voice, then you must stop exposing yourself to the other voices.  Anything that has your attention is included in the hindrances to hearing FATHER’S Voice.  Friends, family, associates, phone messages, Youtube, Facebook, computer games, worldly music, and the list of distractions grow.

The adversary does not want you to hear GOD’S Voice so you can see the intent behind many of the television shows, movies, music, and other such media inputs meant to draw you away from HIS Voice.

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in 2nd 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”

When FATHER speaks a Word to you, It goes into your spirit and feeds your spirit thus It nourishes you.  As this occurs, you are able to hear better.  As a result, you increase in fruit production.

Jesus spoke in John chapter 15:

5 “I am the sprouting vine and you’re My branches. As you live in union with Me as your Source, fruitfulness will stream from within you—but when you live separated from Me you are powerless. 6 If a person is separated from Me, he is discarded; such branches are gathered up and thrown into the fire to be burned. 7 But if you live in life-union with Me and if My Words live powerfully within you—then you can ask whatever you desire and it will be done. 8 When your lives bear abundant fruit, you demonstrate that you are My mature disciples who glorify My Father!

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

12 For we did not receive the spirit of this world system but the Spirit of God, so that we might come to understand and experience all that grace has lavished upon us. 13 And we articulate these realities with the Words imparted to us by the Spirit and not with the words taught by human wisdom. We join together Spirit-revealed truths with Spirit-revealed words.

14 Someone living on an entirely human level rejects the revelations of God’s Spirit, for they make no sense to him. He can’t understand the revelations of the Spirit because they are only discovered by the illumination of the Spirit. 15 Those who live in the Spirit are able to carefully evaluate all things, and they are subject to the scrutiny of no one but God. 16 For

Who has ever intimately known the mind of the Lord Yahweh well enough to become His counselor?

Christ has, and we possess Christ’s perceptions.

When you immerse yourself in the Word, you begin to remove those voices originating from the world.  As a result, you will no longer reject FATHER’S Word in certain areas which were off limits in your own mind, will, and/or emotions.  You become an open book to HIM.  When this occurs, FATHER’S Voice becomes clearer and you begin responding to HIS Directives resulting in producing more fruit as a mature Son or Daughter.

Paul also wrote by The Holy Spirit in Romans chapter 12:

1 Beloved friends, what should be our proper response to God’s marvelous mercies? To surrender yourselves to God to be HIS Sacred, living sacrifices. And live in Holiness, experiencing all that delights His heart. For this becomes your genuine expression of worship.

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.

If you cut off the influences of the world, the transformation of your mind will occur quicker.  It is all about what you are willing to surrender to FATHER, HE knows it and you know it.

Your Willingness

Saturday, September 4th, 2021

FATHER has a perfect strategy for HIS Plan concerning your success and provision.  FATHER did not create you to fail in this life.  Are you willing to lay everything before HIM in exchange for the Heavenly Treasures stockpiled for you?  When you do, the true joy of THE LORD will come upon you!

As I wrote yesterday, Jesus expressed specific promises that HE would take care of you and me when we become fully committed to focus our eyes on The Kingdom.

Matthew recorded His Word in chapter 6:

19 “Don’t keep hoarding for yourselves earthly treasures that can be stolen by thieves. Material wealth eventually rusts, decays, and loses its value. 20 Instead, stockpile Heavenly treasures for yourselves that cannot be stolen and will never rust, decay, or lose their value. 21 For your heart will always pursue what you esteem as your treasure.

Jesus intends for us to rely on THE SPIRIT of counsel. 

It is recorded by The Holy Spirit of Paul’s Heavenly counsel in Acts chapter 20:

33 “I haven’t been after your money or any of your possessions. 34 You all know that I’ve worked with my hands to meet my own needs and the needs of those who’ve served with me. 35 I’ve left you an example of how you should serve and take care of those who are weak. For we must always cherish the words of our Lord Jesus, who taught, ‘Giving brings a far greater blessing than receiving.’ ”

In order to keep Servias as a pure distribution center, we take nothing out of the ministry ourselves for as did Paul, I’ve worked with my hands to meet my own needs and the needs of those who’ve served with me in my business.  We tithe ourselves into Servias.  This is not to exalt my wife or myself but intended to convey to you that we too put our money where our mouth is.  My personal goal is to grow in our giving and in more areas as THE LORD directs.  How can I expect this to occur?  I must go into the secret place described in Psalm 91:

1 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!”

If the Holy Spirit is not allowed to reveal the Will of GOD, you will not walk in the revelation HIS Will.  You decide your level of willingness thus you determine to what degree you walk in the Will of Our Heavenly Father.  All of these writings are to encourage you to walk totally in HIS Will every single day.

Your fruit production will confirm your level of willingness.  Let us produce a bumper crop as a testimony for all to see and embrace.

It Is Never Too Late

Friday, September 3rd, 2021

For our walk with Jesus Christ to become fully mature and fruitful, we must trust Him, not man.  This is why it is vital to be led by The Holy Spirit in these times of turmoil.  The world cannot control a Son or Daughter who completely relies on Our Heavenly Father.

Jesus expressed specific promises that HE would take care of you and me when we become fully committed to focus our eyes on The Kingdom.

Matthew recorded His Word in chapter 6:

19 “Don’t keep hoarding for yourselves earthly treasures that can be stolen by thieves. Material wealth eventually rusts, decays, and loses its value. 20 Instead, stockpile Heavenly treasures for yourselves that cannot be stolen and will never rust, decay, or lose their value. 21 For your heart will always pursue what you esteem as your treasure.

This is a bigger problem than most will admit.  The world promotes hoarding to the nth degree.  In the U.S., there are storage units all around with rusting and decaying stockpiles of good intentions while children go hungry. 

Rather than acquiring something in case I need it, I know to ask The Holy Spirit to guide me in purchases.  Is there a better way to de-clutter my life and focus on what truly is important?  I still may need an asset in the future but I let The Holy Spirit give me the revelation of what to buy and when.  He knows what is coming and how I should prepare.

22 “The eyes of your spirit allow revelation-light to enter into your being.  If your heart is unclouded, the light floods in! 23 But if your eyes are focused on money, the light cannot penetrate and darkness takes its place. How profound will be the darkness within you if the light of Truth cannot enter!

This darkness will not be superficial or obvious to the mind.  It describes what is prevalent throughout the world right now concerning the current health crisis.  It seems as though people have generally been “dumbed down” in their ability to think for themselves.  Our bodies were designed to be healthy and fight off any and all invaders.  Moreover, we have been given the promise “No weapon formed against me shall prosper.”  No exceptions, for the Spiritual supersedes the natural. 

Jesus warns us that the hoarding of money which is described as greed or the love of money has to be dealt with in order to allow revelation to fully come forth in each of us.

We will be tested in this area more than once as we ascend to a higher level of maturity.  Our fruitfulness will be observed and reviewed.  The widow gave an abundance of what she had and Jesus took note.  His Eyes are not closed today.  Jesus then speaks forth a direct warning:

24 “How could you worship two gods at the same time? You will have to hate one and love the other, or be devoted to one and despise the other. You can’t worship the true God while enslaved to the god of money!

33 “So above all, constantly seek God’s Kingdom and HIS righteousness, then all these less important things will be given to you abundantly. 34 Refuse to worry about tomorrow, but deal with each challenge that comes your way, one day at a time. Tomorrow will take care of itself.”

This particular verse was first revealed to me nearly fifty years ago.  When I was young and immature, my focus was on “getting” since I was young and broke.  As I have matured and FATHER provided HIS great grace and mercy to prevail in my life, the focus has changed to “giving”.  After all, HE, Jesus, and The Holy Spirit authored a book about me before I was formed in the womb (Psalm 139:16).  THEY have been leading and guiding me through its pages as I have allowed THEM. 

As I was exposed to the Word in 1971 and somewhat immersed in It, The Holy Spirit began speaking to me and directed me to my first GOD-given job.  He has done so ever since thus I can no credit for building a resume.  HE has guided me through the chapters of that book in Heaven (with a few detours along the way).  I only share this to encourage you that it is never too late to get through your chapters as well.

Jesus spoke of this Truth (aka reality) in Matthew chapter 20:

1 “This will help you understand the way Heaven’s kingdom operates:

“There once was a wealthy Landowner who went out at daybreak to hire all the laborers He could find to work in His vineyard. 2 After agreeing to pay them the standard day’s wage, He put them to work. 3 Then at nine o’clock, as He was passing through the town square, He found others standing around without work. 4 He told them, ‘Come and work for Me in My vineyard and I’ll pay you a fair wage.’ 5 So off they went to join the others. He did the same thing at noon and again at three o’clock, making the same arrangement as he did with the others.

6 “Hoping to finish His harvest that day, He went to the town square again at five o’clock and found more who were idle. So He said to them, ‘Why have you been here all day without work?’

7 “ ‘Because no one hired us,’ they answered.

“So He said to them, ‘Then go and join My crew and work in My vineyard.’

8 “When evening came, the owner of the vineyard went to His foreman and said, ‘Call in all the laborers, line them up, and pay them the same wages, starting with the most recent ones I hired and finishing with the ones who worked all day.’

9 “When those hired late in the day came to be paid, they were given a full day’s wage. 10 And when those who had been hired first came to be paid, they were convinced that they would receive more. But everyone was paid the standard wage. 11 When they realized what had happened, they were offended and complained to the landowner, saying, 12 ‘You’re treating us unfairly! They’ve only worked for one hour while we’ve labored and sweated all day under the scorching sun. You’ve made them equal to us!’

13 “The landowner replied, ‘Friends, I’m not being unfair—I’m doing exactly what I said. Didn’t you agree to work for the standard wage? 14 If I want to give those who only worked for an hour equal pay, what does that matter to you? 15 Don’t I have the right to do what I want with what is Mine? Why should my generosity make you jealous of them?’

16 “Now you can understand what I meant when I said that the first will end up last and the last will end up being first. Everyone is invited, but few are the chosen.”

It is never too late to seek The Kingdom and fully commit to It.

Who Do You Trust?

Thursday, September 2nd, 2021

Our walk with Jesus Christ is requires us to trust Him, not man.  This is why it is vital to be led by The Holy Spirit in these times of turmoil.

The devil and his minions do their best to deceive us through men who may appear to be looking out for our best interest but are walking out hidden agendas which will be exposed by FATHER at some point.  Evidence is being suppressed through restriction of information throughout the world.  Otherwise, the global population would be up in arms.  However, Truth cannot be suppressed by man and The Holy Spirit has full access to all Truth and Reality thus we have our source for Truth to guide us in our daily affairs with Wisdom from above.

Many of the nefarious acts would only distract us rather than benefit our individual walks.  I believe that we are spared from what is going on behind closed doors.  Our mandate is to be in unity with each other so that when the time comes, we will respond by bringing forth life and restoration to all mankind.  Yes, FATHER will nullify the effects of man’s nefarious acts for those who repent, but it is their decision.

The devil wants to keep us distracted so that we won’t focus on unity among the Sons and Daughters.  He knows that as long as we are divided and/or isolated, we pose no major threat to his temporary kingdom.

The Beloved Disciple wrote by The Holy Spirit in John chapter 10:

23 While Jesus was at the Passover Feast, the number of his followers began to grow, and many gave their allegiance to Him because of all the miraculous signs they had seen Him doing! 24 But Jesus did not yet entrust Himself to them, because he knew how fickle human hearts can be. 25 He needed no one to tell Him about human nature, for He fully understood what man was capable of doing.

If Jesus wouldn’t trust followers who gave their allegiance to Him, why should we?

Years ago, I was among several men who received funds which were not intended for distribution to them.  The one who distributed the funds had been in undisclosed sin for years.  Later, FATHER revealed all of this to me but only after I had been immersed in Agape Love.  It caused me not to trust them any longer.

My wife and I made an investment with a man whom I had attended church for about twenty years.  He and I had lunch nearly every month and discussed both spiritual and economic matters.  The investment had been successful and was generating income every month for all of us.  A situation had arisen and it appeared that the investment was no longer economic.  However, The Holy Spirit had seen to it that I received a document stating otherwise.  Effectively, the man tried to steal our interest in the investment.  When I confronted him, he had no reply.  Later, he had to sell out his position and is no longer involved.  FATHER protected us with The Truth.  It was FATHER WHO put us into this investment in the first place,  I take no credit!

I only mention these stories to confirm what The Beloved Disciple recorded above.  Both situations could have been exposed to the public in detail, the second could have been taken to court.  However, FATHER has always instructed me to not involve myself in the world’s court system.  HE is the ultimate Judge and I was simply to hand over each situation to HIM.  Those men will be judged for their sin by the Highest Court.  There have been other situations requiring judgment by FATHER and in two cases I am aware of they are physically no longer with us, they died prematurely.  It was FATHER’S judgment, not mine… thankfully.

There are those who are currently affecting most of the population with their nefarious actions and hidden agendas.  What is the only true solution?  It is the True, mature Sons and Daughters being fully led by THE SPIRIT and walking in unity.  I see no other solution!

Everyone else will sell out to preserve themselves at our expense.  Who else would die for you or me?  Not those who walk in self-preservation.  We saw the change in the disciples from the Gospels to the Epistles.  They were all in!  What they believed was worth dying for.  Once again, it is all about Love.

Jesus expressly promises that HE would take care of you and me when Matthew recorded His Word in chapter 6:

33 “So above all, constantly seek God’s Kingdom and HIS righteousness, then all these less important things will be given to you abundantly. 34 Refuse to worry about tomorrow, but deal with each challenge that comes your way, one day at a time. Tomorrow will take care of itself.”

Relational, Not Just Positional

Wednesday, September 1st, 2021

Our walk with Jesus Christ is meant to be relational, not just positional.

The devil and his minions do their best to deceive us by bringing up the past in our minds.

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in 2nd 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.

The enemy’s only weapon is deception and will attempt to get your agreement to pursue and walk in such deception.  If he cannot get your agreement, the demon will go look for someone else to deceive.  When the enemy sees that our relationship with Christ is strong, their power is gone and will no longer be an issue in our lives.  They are no match for those who are led by THE SPIRIT.

It is extremely important to disregard these imaginations immediately.  Jesus did not have to think twice when the devil tempted Him.  He immediately responded with The Word.  In the Garden, Eve did not respond immediately to challenge and disregard the serpent.  Instead she regarded what was said.

To disregard means: pay no attention to; ignore.  On the other hand, to regard means: consider or think of, give attention to.  Once you regard something, you quickly move to passive agreement and this is where the adversary will focus and seize an opportunity to manipulate you.

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Ephesians chapter 4:

27 Don’t give the slanderous accuser, the Devil, an opportunity to manipulate you!

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

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

The world is promoting foolish arguments with their flip-flopping of masking, social distancing, and isolation.  The only true solution is for the Spiritually mature to rise up and cure those who are sick.  When you enter in to the debate, you are simply carrying out the purposes of the adversary.  When you see a snare, you don’t get closer to it, you turn around and go the other way.

The devil kills, steals, destroys, enslaves, and promotes deception.  Jesus heals, restores, blesses, reveals the Truth, and sets the captives free.  How difficult is it to quickly judge the fruit and place the fruit in its proper category?  Once we judge the fruit and determine it is from the devil, then we immediately resist him.

James wrote by The Holy Spirit in chapter 4:

7  So then, surrender to God. Stand up to the devil and resist him and he will flee in agony.

This is simple and straightforward so we should not make it difficult and complex.  We don’t need another word study or a committee meeting, we should already know what to do.  We cannot afford to be lukewarm in our response to vain imaginations and we must give no place to the devil… at any time!

Jesus healed you and me before we were formed in the womb so His healing supersedes any negative report we may currently receive.  Which will we regard and give credence? 

As we immerse ourselves in The Word and receive the revelations contained therein, we will only regard the Spiritual which is at a higher state than the physical.  This is why I must guard my eyes and ears from regarding what the world is spewing out minute by minute.  Immersion in The Word is key to living life more abundantly!
