Jubilee

Monday, December 6th, 2021

What is the purpose of prosperity?  It is to be a blessing.

Prosperity comes in many forms: Words, health, finances, etc.  Blessings are to meet needs of yourself and others.  They are not intended to be withheld or restricted.

Moses wrote by The Holy Spirit in Deuteronomy chapter 8:

18 “And you shall remember the LORD your God, for it is He who gives you power to get wealth, that He may establish His covenant which He swore to your fathers, as it is this day.”

Isn’t spreading the Good News one aspect of establishing FATHER’S Covenant with us on earth?  We are to be a light to the world by being a testimony of what Jesus Christ has done and is doing in our lives.  This includes our generosity toward others.

It is written by The Holy Spirit in Ecclesiastes chapter 5:

18 Even so, I have noticed one thing, at least, that is good. It is good for people to eat, drink, and enjoy their work under the sun during the short life God has given them, and to accept their lot in life. 19 And it is a good thing to receive wealth from God and the good health to enjoy it. To enjoy your work and accept your lot in life—this is indeed a gift from God. 20 God keeps such people so busy enjoying life that they take no time to brood over the past.

Luke recorded by The Holy Spirit in chapter 6 when Jesus spoke:

37 Jesus said, “Forsake the habit of criticizing and judging others, and you will not be criticized and judged in return. Don’t condemn others and you will not be condemned. Forgive over and over, and you will be forgiven over and over. 38 Give generously and generous gifts will be given back to you, shaken down to make room for more. Abundant gifts will pour out upon you with such an overflowing measure that it will run over the top! The measurement of your generosity becomes the measurement of your return.”

Everybody makes mistakes which contribute to their current state.  We must be careful not to judge people who are in need.  Our generosity should be guided and directed by The Holy Spirit who leads us to abundance in our own lives.  My wife and I have experienced this Truth over the years.  We should expect overflow in our lives else Jesus would not have stated this expectation in His own Words!

We should expect miracles in our finances that will break the chains of debt placed upon us by the worldly system.  The god of this world wants to keep us enslaved by debt so we should expect FATHER to break this cycle with blessings and prosperity.  Our blessings should then flow toward those who are still in bondage so that they too can experience being set free.

Mark recorded by The Holy Spirit in chapter 9 when Jesus spoke concerning impossibilities:

17 A man spoke up out of the crowd. “Teacher,” he said, “I have a son possessed by a demon that makes him mute. I brought him here to you, Jesus. 18 Whenever the demon takes control of him, it knocks him down, and he foams at the mouth and gnashes his teeth, and his body becomes stiff as a board. I brought him to your disciples, hoping they could deliver him, but they were not able to do it.”

19 Jesus said to the crowd, “Why are you such a faithless people?[k] How much longer must I remain with you and put up with your unbelief? Now, bring the boy to me.”

20 So they brought him to Jesus. As soon as the demon saw him, it threw the boy into convulsions. He fell to the ground, rolling around and foaming at the mouth. 21 Jesus turned to the father and asked, “How long has your son been tormented like this?”

“Since childhood,” he replied. 22 “It tries over and over to kill him by throwing him into fire or into the water. But please, if you’re able to do something, anything—have compassion on us and help us!”

23 Jesus said to him, “What do you mean ‘if’? If you are able to believe, all things are possible to the believer.”

24 When he heard this, the boy’s father cried out with tears, saying, “I do believe, Lord; help my little faith!”

25 Now when Jesus saw that the crowd was quickly growing larger, he commanded the demon, saying, “Deaf and mute spirit, I command you to come out of him and never enter him again!”

26 The demon shrieked and threw the boy into terrible seizures and finally came out of him! As the boy lay there, looking like a corpse, everyone thought he was dead. 27 But Jesus stooped down, gently took his hand, and raised him up to his feet, and he stood there completely set free!

Jesus preached jubilee, the release of all debt of any type.  Shouldn’t you and I expect to walk in jubilee from all restraints placed upon us by the world system?  Can you be steeped in debt and walk in jubilee?  No, you must be set free.  Jubilee is freedom from enslavement of any kind no matter what area in your life.  If you are in debt, you have a restriction placed upon you preventing you to freely give.

We need to pay our bills, provide for our children, and help others while in this world system.  However, the Blood of Jesus is greater than any obligation we might take on in this current economic system. 

FATHER’S Love and resources are greater than any alternative found in the world.  We simply need to embrace this Truth and tenaciously hold on to it by faith for provision found in the Blood of Jesus is greater than any need.  It is FATHER’S Heart to not withhold and good thing from us, HIS Sons and Daughters.

Better Promises

Sunday, December 5th, 2021

We were chosen for this specific time in history.  Please read the following carefully and ponder these Truths.

We were designated in our books in Heaven (Psalm 139:16) to appear at this time in history.  Our transformation from water to wine was ordained before we were formed in the womb.  However like the 153 fish, we have to be willing and obedient to Jesus.  The “net” did not break and provided “provision” for the vision.

Paul spoke by The Holy Spirit in Acts chapter 17:

24 “The true God is the Creator of all things. He is the Owner and Lord of the Heavenly realm and the earthly realm, and He doesn’t live in man-made temples. 25 He supplies life and breath and all things to every living being. He doesn’t lack a thing that we mortals could supply for him, for He has all things and everything He needs. 26 From one man, Adam, He made every man and woman and every race of humanity, and he spread us over all the earth. He sets the boundaries of people and nations, determining their appointed times in history. 27 He has done this so that every person would long for God, feel their way to Him, and find Him—for He is the God who is easy to discover!

We must grasp this Truth.  You and I were ordained by FATHER to be here at this exact time and walk in HIS better promises.  We must get over our past and mindsets of lack and scarcity.  Instead, we need to expect full provision beyond what the Israelites expected in Deuteronomy chapter 28:

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. 14 So you shall not turn aside from any of the words which I command you this day, to the right or the left, to go after other gods to serve them.

And it is written by The Holy Spirit in Hebrews chapter 8:

6 But now Jesus the Messiah has accepted a priestly ministry which far surpasses theirs, since He is the catalyst of a better covenant which contains far more wonderful promises!

You are of much greater value than you think for you were created in the Image of GOD.  The world has convinced us of our value being far less than what was deposited within us before we were formed in the womb.  Let us not accept their valuation but instead focus on the Truth found in the revelation provided by the passages above.  Our mindsets must change in order to transform potential value into manifested value.  Our potential is limitless if we will only accept what FATHER sees in us.

The Holy Spirit will guide us into those better promises as we fully release ourselves from worldly thinking.  There is no lack in Heaven and we are to bring that Truth into manifestation today!

Unity153

Friday, December 3rd, 2021

Why did I name the site www.unity153.net  we use to enable you to give by credit card? The following provides the understanding to the mysteries provided in the Gospel of John.  I expect to revamp this site in the future for those who willingly enter into the “net”.

The Beloved Disciple wrote by The Holy Spirit in John 2:

1-11   And the third day there was a marriage in Cana in Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there.  And both Jesus was called and His disciples to the marriage. And when they wanted wine, the mother of Jesus said unto Him, “They have no wine.” Jesus saith unto her, “Woman, what have I to do with thee? Mine hour is not yet come.”  His mother saith unto the servants, “Whatever He saith unto you, do.” And there were set there six waterpots of stone, after the manner of the purifying of the Jews, containing two or three firkins apiece.  Jesus saith unto them, “Fill the waterpots with water, and they filled them to the brim. And He saith unto then, ”Draw out now, and bear unto the governor of the feast.” And they bear. When the ruler of the feast had tasted the water that was made wine, and knew not whence it was, (but the servants that drew the water knew), the governor of the feast called the bridegroom,  And saith unto him, “Every man at the beginning doth set forth good wine, and when men have well drunk, then that which is worse, thou hast kept the good wine until now. This beginning of miracles did Jesus in Cana of Galilee, and manifested His Glory, and His disciples believed on Him.

My close friend Arthur wrote:

Jesus, together with Philip and Nathaniel travel from Bethsaida to Cana.  Nazareth and Bethsaida are both only about 6 miles from Cana.  They join Jesus’ mother Mary on the third day at a marriage feast.  By Jewish tradition the “feast” normally lasted for a week.  Unfortunately, the governor of the feast has already run out of wine.

John in his Gospel reveals the incredibly close, mother- Son relationship that existed between Jesus and Mary.  Scripture is also telling us that Mary knew very well who her Son was and the God given abilities His Heavenly Father had bestowed upon Him. Mary tells Jesus, “They have no wine”. Mary clearly expects Jesus to solve the “wine” problem. However, Jesus chooses to remind Mary that His “hour has not yet come”, and asks her, in a very loving manner, “Woman, whatever am I to do with you.”   Mary ignores Jesus, and addresses the servants, telling them to do ”whatever He saith unto you.”It is the last time that any word spoken by Mary, is recorded in Scripture.

This is the first miracle performed by Jesus, and is specific to changing water into wine. The water pots being used to hold the wine, are very interesting, in that John takes the time to describe the water pots, providing us with very significant details regarding the volume of the pots and the number of pots involved. It is generally understood that John was hiding a “mystery” in these measurements.

John was using Jesus’ first and last miracles in his Gospel reveal the number 153 as representing the “Sons of God.”

In the first miracle there are 9 gallons of water contained in a “firkin”, hence each pot held either 18 or 27 gallons of water. John in his Gospel makes it clear that the pots were not all the same size, “containing two or three firkins apiece.”If, as some Biblical scholars contend, there were 5 pots containing 3 firkins and 1 pot containing 2 firkins the total volume of water changed into wine would have been 153 gallons. The last miracle had the seven disciples, “catching 153 large fish.”(John:21:11)  The “8 miracles”, (eight is the biblical number of new beginnings) showcased in John’s Gospel, had the 1st and 8th miracles, serve as “bookends” with both miracles setting forth the biblical number 153, which represents the “Sons of God”.    As a result, some would contend that the miracle of our Lord changing water into wine, is to provide us with the understanding of the change that will take place in our Lord’s, “Sons of God”, when our Lord changes our bodies from the mortal ones we are born in, to the immortal bodies in which we will serve Him throughout eternity.

We were designated in our books in Heaven (Psalm 139:16) to appear at this time in history.  Our transformation from water to wine was ordained before we were formed in the womb.  However like the 153 fish, we have to be willing and obedient to Jesus.  The “net” did not break and provided “provision” for the vision, hence unity153.net.

The counselor we work with just received a text from my teacher who had the little girl who lost her Mom the week before thanksgiving and they would appreciate help with Christmas. Thank you for offering to bless this family.

And we did!

Acquiring Heavenly Treasures

Thursday, December 2nd, 2021

When in The Bible did people make history when everything was going well?  During times of impossibility, people who were led by THE SPIRIT triumphed.  Now is the time for us to do the same!

The Beloved Disciple wrote by The Holy Spirit in John chapter 2:

12 After the wedding (at Cana), Jesus, His mother and brothers, and His disciples traveled to Capernaum and stayed there for a few days. 13 When the time was close for the Jewish Passover to begin, Jesus walked to Jerusalem. 14 As He went into the temple courtyard, he noticed it was filled with merchants selling oxen, lambs, and doves for exorbitant prices, while others were overcharging as they exchanged currency behind their counters. 15 So Jesus found some cords and made them into a whip. Then He drove out every one of them and their animals from the courtyard of the temple, and He kicked over their tables filled with money, scattering it everywhere! 16 And He told the merchants, “Get these things out of here! Don’t you dare commercialize my Father’s House!” 17 That’s when His disciples remembered the Scripture: “I am consumed with a fiery passion to keep Your House pure!”

In preparation for Passover, what is the first thing Jesus did?  He cleansed the temple of the love of money (aka greed).  Jesus had already turned the water into wine (a symbol of the Sons of GOD) while attending the wedding at Cana.  Our temples must also be cleansed of greed.  How do we overcome greed?  We do it by cheerful giving which pleases FATHER.  This is why The Holy Spirit keeps emphasizing this point in my writings.  Greed being the root of all evil must be removed in no uncertain terms.  The disciples remembered Psalm 69:9:

9 My Love for YOU has My Heart on fire!

    My passion for YOUR house consumes Me!

    Nothing will turn Me away,

    even though I endure all the insults of those who insult YOU.

What has the church (in most cases) done?  It has focused on commercializing the temple by requiring tithes and offerings to support the pastor’s vision rather than giving to those in need.  It has become a place of mostly entertainment rather than one of Spiritual growth and maturity, emphasizing the work of The Holy Spirit.  Why do you think that Jesus had to warn seven churches in the Book of Revelation about their true status?

Jesus spoke in Revelation chapter 3:

14 Write the following to the messenger of the congregation in Laodicea, for these are the words of the Amen, the faithful and true Witness, the Ruler of God’s creation:

15 I know all that you do, and I know that you are neither frozen in apathy nor fervent with passion. How I wish you were either one or the other! 16 But because you are neither cold nor hot, but lukewarm, I am about to spit you from My mouth.

17 For you claim, “I’m rich and getting richer—I don’t need a thing.” Yet you are clueless that you’re miserable, poor, blind, barren, and naked! 18 So I counsel you to purchase gold perfected by fire, so that you can be truly rich. Purchase a white garment to cover and clothe your shameful Adam-nakedness. Purchase eye salve to be placed over your eyes so that you can truly see. 19 All those I dearly Love I unmask and train. So repent and be eager to pursue what is right.

How do you purchase “spiritual gold”, a white garment, and eye salve?  By giving. we lay up Heavenly treasures. Jesus made this abundantly clear when He addressed the rich, young man in Matthew chapter 19:

21 Jesus said to him, “If you really want to be perfect (mature), go now and sell everything you own. Give your money to the poor and your treasure will be transferred into Heaven. Then come back and follow Me for the rest of your life.”

Continuing in Revelation chapter 3, Jesus spoke:

20 Behold, I’m standing at the door, knocking. If your heart is open to hear My Voice and you open the door within, I will come in to you and feast with you, and you will feast with Me. 21 And to the one who conquers I will give the privilege of sitting with me on My Throne, just as I conquered and sat down with My Father on His Throne. 22 The one whose heart is open let him listen carefully to what the Spirit is saying now to the churches.

We must conquer greed and this is done by being obedient to Jesus’ Words, not just hearers only.  Those seven churches no longer exist today so they did not obey the Words of Jesus.  Let us not make the same mistake.

Continuing in John chapter 2, Jesus spoke:

18 Then the Jewish religious leaders challenged Jesus, “What authority do you have to do this sort of thing and what supernatural sign will you show us to prove it?”

19 Jesus answered, “Destroy this temple, and I will raise it up again in three days.”

20 Then the Jewish leaders sneered at Jesus’ answer, “This temple took forty-six years[s] to build, and you mean to tell us that you will raise it up in three days?” 21 But they failed to understand that Jesus was speaking of the “temple” of his body. 22 The disciples remembered His prophecy after Jesus rose from the dead, and believed both the Scripture and what Jesus had said.

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.

After the temple was cleansed, Jesus did many signs and wonders.  Have our temples been cleansed sufficiently?

Get Understanding Of The Blood Of Christ

Wednesday, December 1st, 2021

To know Jesus, we must not only hear His Words but we must get understanding as well.  To be intimate with Christ, we must fully understand His Intent in all situations which requires us being fully led by The Holy Spirit.

What is the point of gaining knowledge unless you have full understanding?  First, we must cleanse our consciousness of dead works.  This is a function of dwelling on The Word rather than dwelling on the world’s narratives.

It is written by The Holy Spirit in Hebrews chapter 9:

13 Under the old covenant the blood of bulls, goats, and the ashes of a heifer were sprinkled on those who were defiled and effectively cleansed them outwardly from their ceremonial impurities. 14 Yet how much more will the Sacred Blood of the Messiah thoroughly cleanse our consciences! For by the power of the Eternal Spirit He has offered Himself to God as the perfect Sacrifice that now frees us from our dead works to worship and serve the Living God.

Our focus must be on the precious Blood of Our Lord Jesus Christ.  Demons do not want us to even breathe the Words “Blood of Jesus Christ” for they know Its power and will do anything to keep us from the fullness of revelation in this crucial area.

Life is in the Blood!

Right now, the unthinkable is happening.  Ten years ago, did anyone think that masks and jabs would be mandated at this time?  Did anyone think that the jab would cause world-class soccer players to collapse on the field?  Division among the population is being promoted by the god of this world.  How could we have prepared ourselves for such a time?  Only by focusing on The Blood and Its effectiveness through understanding given to us by The Holy Spirit.

How often does the “church” focus on The Blood of Christ?  Fifty years ago It was central to the preaching in the church we attended.  So was the Baptism of The Holy Spirit.  Now, neither are mentioned except on rare occasions.  Why?  The congregation wants to be entertained rather than challenged to gain understanding of the importance of The Blood and The One Jesus sent to dwell inside of us.

Jesus spoke in John chapter 14:

15 “Loving Me empowers you to obey My commands. 16–17 And I will ask the Father and He will give you another Savior, the Holy Spirit of Truth, Who will be to you a friend just like Me—and He will never leave you. The world won’t receive Him because they can’t see Him or know Him. But you know Him intimately because He remains with you and will live inside you.

18 “I promise that I will never leave you helpless or abandon you as orphans—I will come back to you! 19 Soon I will leave this world and they will see Me no longer, but you will see Me, because I will live again, and you will come alive too. 20 So when that day comes, you will know that I am living in the Father and that you are one with Me, for I will be living in you. 21 Those who truly Love Me are those who obey My commands. Whoever passionately Loves Me will be passionately Loved by My Father. And I will passionately Love him in return and will reveal Myself to him.”

We must exalt The Words of Jesus as being preeminent in our lives and consciousness.  His Words came directly from FATHER and there is no inaccuracy whatsoever.  If you want full intimacy with Christ, The Holy Spirit, and FATHER, you must dwell on the Words of Christ, and seek out full understanding!
