There are times where we are not instructed to pray.  Instead, we are to demand or command since FATHER has already stated HIS Will.  Jesus commanded things to occur because He knew FATHER’S Will.

Jesus spoke in Matthew chapter 14:

22   Immediately Jesus made His disciples get into the boat and go before Him to the other side, while He sent the multitudes away.

23   And when He had sent the multitudes away, He went up on the mountain by Himself to pray. Now when evening came, He was alone there.

24  But the boat was now in the middle of the sea, tossed by the waves, for the wind was contrary.

25  Now in the fourth watch of the night Jesus went to them, walking on the sea. 26  And when the disciples saw Him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, “It is a ghost!” And they cried out for fear.

27  But immediately Jesus spoke to them, saying, “Be of good cheer! It is I; do not be afraid.”

28  And Peter answered Him and said, “Lord, if it is You, command me to come to You on the water.”

29  So He said, “Come.” And when Peter had come down out of the boat, he walked on the water to go to Jesus.

30  But when he saw that the wind was boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink he cried out, saying, “Lord, save me!” 31 And immediately Jesus stretched out His hand and caught him, and said to him, “O you of little faith, why did you doubt?”

32  And when they got into the boat, the wind ceased.

33  Then those who were in the boat came and worshiped Him, saying, “Truly You are the Son of God.”

Jesus was told by FATHER to go to Gennesaret on the other side so that He could minister healing and deliverance to the people.  Further, Jesus was not restricted by lower laws of nature thus He was able to walk on water.  He operated by the higher laws of The Spiritual realm which supersede lower laws of nature, as a result we have the term supernatural. 

Peter saw Jesus and at least to some degree understood the word command when he spoke out and said “Lord, if it is You, command me to come to You on the water.”  Peter at least walked on the water temporarily.  However, fear and doubt set in with Peter and Jesus noted that when He rescued Peter, another supernatural miracle.  The issue was lack of faith and walking in fear and doubt.  If we want to consistently walk in the supernatural, we must walk in great faith without fear.  This is only accomplished by immersing ourselves in The Word and rejecting the world’s input and impact.  Faith comes by hearing and responding to The Word consistently.

There are times to pray, especially in Tongues, and there are times to command.  We need to know the difference.  A mature Son knows the difference so let us move to that level of maturity so that the adversary no longer is able to deceive us due to a weakness found in immature believers.  He and his minions will simply move on to someone who won’t remind them of their defeat by The Blood of Christ.

As we mature as Sons, we will become bold and confident in our inheritance and individual callings.  Jesus was never timid or reluctant to speak, neither is the mature Son.

Jesus spoke in Matthew chapter 7:

7   “Ask, and the gift is yours. Seek, and you’ll discover. Knock, and the door will be opened for you.

8   For every persistent one will get what he asks for. Every persistent seeker will discover what he longs for. And everyone who knocks persistently will one day find an open door.

9   “Do you know of any parent who would give his hungry child, who asked for food, a plate of rocks instead?

10   Or when asked for a piece of fish, what parent would offer his child a snake instead?

11  If you, imperfect as you are, know how to lovingly take care of your children and give them what’s best, how much more ready is your Heavenly Father to give wonderful gifts to those who ask Him?”

It is time to quit being reluctant in your requests of FATHER.  As Paul wrote in Romans chapter 8, THE CASES AGAINST YOU AND ME ARE CLOSED!  The adversary has no claim against us and we need to expect restitution from what he and his minions have stolen from us in the past.  We are to make our demands and not back down.

In the above passage, Jesus told us to ask with the expectation of receiving and there were no “maybe’s” in the sentence thus He was and is emphatic in this Word.  In this context, we are to demand what is rightfully ours to be released for it has been set aside waiting for us to access by way of the request… demand.  We must realize FATHER’S Divine Plan and Intent for our success while on this earth.  HE is waiting on us to embrace this revelation and act on it, we are not waiting on HIM even though the adversary would love to keep us in the dark concerning the benefits of our Sonship.

Yes, the above passage has been misused by those who were making requests in the soulish realm rather than the spiritual mindset attained by those moving toward full maturity in Christ.  Forget their misuse and instead focus on the Words of Jesus.  His Words are still applicable and we need to submit to His teachings rather than the deceptive teachings of men.  Men who have no fruitfulness in their lives want to justify their lack of fruit by convincing others to join them in their blindness.  Don’t allow yourself to follow them into the proverbial ditch.

FATHER is ready and willing to meet all your needs according to HIS riches (aka resources).

My Beloved, if you are in a current state of lack, do not accept it any longer but embrace the Words of Jesus and become convinced of His solution to your problems, issues, and lack.  It matters not what country you are in or what your past is.  Do not accept perceived failure in your life.  Don’t feel sorry for yourself and longer.  I have been broke, near death, attacked by others, yet here I am writing to you about the deliverance from those situations which looked perilous at times.  Am I special or unique?  Not any more so than you, for we are all His Children.

It is written by The Holy Spirit in Psalm 34:

15  The Lord sees all we do; he watches over his friends day and night. His Godly ones receive the answers they seek whenever they cry out to Him.

16   But the Lord has made up His Mind to oppose evildoers and to wipe out even the memory of them from the face of the earth.

17  Yet when Holy Lovers of God cry out to Him with all their hearts, the Lord will hear them and come to rescue them from all their troubles.

18   The Lord is close to all whose hearts are crushed by pain, and He is always ready to restore the repentant one.

19   Even when bad things happen to the good and Godly ones, the Lord will save them and not let them be defeated by what they face.

20   God will be your bodyguard to protect you when trouble is near. Not one bone will be broken.

21  But the wicked commit slow suicide. For they hate and persecute the Lovers of God. Make no mistake about it, God will hold them guilty and punish them; they will pay the penalty!

22  But the Lord has paid for the freedom of His servants, and He will freely pardon those who Love Him. He will declare them free and innocent when they turn to hide themselves in Him.

Demand restitution and recompense, The Judge will see that it is paid.

My wife and I support anything that exalts Our Lord Jesus Christ on this earth. We are not interested in judging anything but the fruit or lack thereof. The series “The Chosen” has touched many lives throughout the earth in its first two seasons. I have watched each episode of the first two seasons at least four times thus far. Why? It is all about the Love of Christ for His ragtag disciples as well as others whom He touched. His disciples’ shortcomings hit close to home when I look at my humanity. His unconditional Love is apparent in these episodes.

Though my wife and I give our monthly tithe to Servias Ministries as some of you do, in addition, we cheerfully give each month to “The Chosen” so that those who have no financial ability to download the series can do so. FATHER knows our hearts and I know HE blesses our obedience. Mary Magdalene’s relationship with Jesus is especially precious.

The following Youtube provides some perspective of the first two seasons:

The Truth will make you free.  Those who owe no man anything but Love sleep better than 99.999% of the population.

Interesting video:

A certain man I know recommends you pay close attention to all of the details they discuss.

Fiat currency is subject to man’s manipulation.  An ounce of silver in your hand has no manipulation attached to it. 

Is this why Russia and China are aggressively buying gold at this point? 

What is WWE? 

Do you think hackers on either side cannot hack the banks and their related bank accounts? 

Do you think the Internet is totally protected from those who wish to take it down?

A certain man said, “Every developer has a bias when programming and that bias can be exploited by someone else.”

My comment:

The solutions to all the issues at hand are found in the Spiritual Realm! Those who are led by The Holy Spirit will prevail.

The Holy Spirit quickens us to life!  This quickening results in restoration, Divine health, and Divine Life as we are moved by the impulse of The Holy Spirit.

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Romans chapter 8:

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

Let every breath we take be a reminder that The Holy Spirit lives inside of us.  Expect Him to restore every aspect of our physical bodies to that of Divine health for we are no longer subject to our bodies diminishing under the claim of death.  Yes, we are appointed to die but not by sickness or disease.  FATHER will simply take our breath away on that day just as He did with men of old.

12 So then, beloved ones, the flesh has no claims on us at all, and we have no further obligation to live in obedience to it.

13 For when you live controlled by the flesh, you are about to die. But if the life of the Spirit puts to death the corrupt ways of the flesh, we then taste His abundant life.

Why would anyone reject abundance?  It is due to lack of understanding and discernment of these passages.  It is my responsibility to assist everyone who reads these writings to move closer to The Holy Spirit and no longer be deceived by the god of this world.  His quest is to steal, kill, and destroy every aspect of your life if you will in some form agree with him and his minions.  Quit agreeing with deception!

37  Yet even in the midst of all these things, we triumph over them all, for God has made us to be more than conquerors, and His demonstrated Love is our glorious victory over everything!

What does being more than a conqueror mean to you?  It means that success is rigged in your favor and there is no way you can lose to the enemy… period!  Deception will keep you from this revelation and will keep you from achieving full maturity as a Son who can and will expand The Kingdom of GOD on this earth.

I have held back on certain topics that immature believers would be unable to grasp and accept in the past for they were not ready for The Truth of the matter.  Now is the time to expose the lies submitted by a “certain” man in the coming days, weeks, and months.  He will provide facts which will uncover the deceptions promoted by the nefarious ones.  In some cases, you will have to ask The Holy Spirit to provide some perspective to fill in the blanks.  In other cases, The Truth will be obvious.

If you are more than a conqueror, you should be able to handle the Truth from Above.  Certain men I know have been able to look “behind the curtain” and see what is really happening around the globe.  FATHER opened the doors to see deception firsthand and communicate that deception to be revealed in due time.

The Truth will make you free!

Knowledge is hearing but understanding is doing, the application of what we have heard.  When we are intimate with FATHER, we are able to hear Him with great clarity.  As a result we respond and become His vessels on the earth.

What is the first thing to do when you want to hear FATHER?  Be still!

It is written by The Holy Spirit in Psalm chapter 46:

10 Surrender your anxiety.

Be still and realize that I am God.

I am God above all the nations,

and I am exalted throughout the whole earth.

It is written by The Holy Spirit in 1^st Kings chapter 19 when The LORD Speaks to Elijah:

1 When Ahab got home, he told Jezebel everything Elijah had done, including the way he had killed all the prophets of Baal. 2 So Jezebel sent this message to Elijah: “May the gods strike me and even kill me if by this time tomorrow I have not killed you just as you killed them.”

3 Elijah was afraid and fled for his life. He went to Beersheba, a town in Judah, and he left his servant there.

4 Then he went on alone into the wilderness, traveling all day. He sat down under a solitary broom tree and prayed that he might die. “I have had enough, LORD,” he said. “Take my life, for I am no better than my ancestors who have already died.”

Have you also been to the point of despair as Elijah?  The enemy has relentlessly attacked you seemingly at every point of what you hold dear to your heart.  There appears to be no solution in sight thus you are ready to simply give up.

5 Then he lay down and slept under the broom tree. But as he was sleeping, an angel touched him and told him, “Get up and eat!” 6 He looked around and there beside his head was some bread baked on hot stones and a jar of water! So he ate and drank and lay down again.

Suddenly, FATHER intervened by sending an angel to Elijah with a solution.

7 Then the angel of the LORD came again and touched him and said, “Get up and eat some more, or the journey ahead will be too much for you.”

Sometimes we just need to get refreshed with some nourishment and sleep so that we can tackle the problems at hand.  The angel had to deal with Elijah’s mindset which had been focused on the problem of Jezebel rather than trusting FATHER would deliver him.  Elijah returned to the Presence of GOD.

8 So he got up and ate and drank, and the food gave him enough strength to travel forty days and forty nights (the time of testing) to Mount Sinai, the mountain of God. 9 There he came to a cave, where he spent the night.

But the LORD said to him, “What are you doing here, Elijah?”

10 Elijah replied, “I have zealously served the LORD God Almighty. But the people of Israel have broken their covenant with you, torn down your altars, and killed every one of your prophets. I am the only one left, and now they are trying to kill me, too.”

Elijah felt isolated and alone.

11 “Go out and stand before me on the mountain,” the LORD told him. And as Elijah stood there, the LORD passed by, and a mighty windstorm hit the mountain. It was such a terrible blast that the rocks were torn loose, but the LORD was not in the wind. After the wind there was an earthquake, but the LORD was not in the earthquake. 12 And after the earthquake there was a fire, but the LORD was not in the fire. And after the fire there was the sound of a gentle whisper. 13 When Elijah heard it, he wrapped his face in his cloak and went out and stood at the entrance of the cave.

And a voice said, “What are you doing here, Elijah?”

14 He replied again, “I have zealously served the LORD God Almighty. But the people of Israel have broken their covenant with you, torn down your altars, and killed every one of your prophets. I am the only one left, and now they are trying to kill me, too.”

15 Then the LORD told him, “Go back the same way you came, and travel to the wilderness of Damascus. When you arrive there, anoint Hazael to be king of Aram. 16 Then anoint Jehu grandson of Nimshi to be king of Israel, and anoint Elisha son of Shaphat from the town of Abel-meholah to replace you as my prophet. 17 Anyone who escapes from Hazael will be killed by Jehu, and those who escape Jehu will be killed by Elisha! 18 Yet I will preserve 7,000 others in Israel who have never bowed down to Baal or kissed him!”

If we are to pass on, let us do it in FATHER’S timing rather than depart early out of pressure from the enemy.  Elijah had more to do which the enemy wanted to prevent.  However, FATHER intervened and made sure that HIS perfect plan for Elijah resulted with the anointing of kings and Elisha to continue the work of THE LORD.  Elijah did not see death but was taken up in royal fashion.

When we are intimate with FATHER, we will be able to hear His Voice.  As a result we will respond accordingly.

Jesus spoke to the Pharisees in John chapter 10:

25   Jesus answered them, “I have told you the Truth already and you did not believe Me. The proof of who I am is revealed by all the miracles that I do in the Name of my Father.

26   Yet, you stubbornly refuse to follow Me, because you are not My sheep. As I’ve told you before:

27   My own sheep will hear My voice and I know each one, and they will follow Me.

28   I give to them the gift of Eternal life and they will never be lost and no one has the power to snatch them out of My hands.

29   My Father, Who has given them to Me as His gift, is the mightiest of all, and no one has the power to snatch them from My Father’s care.

30The Father and I are One.”

What prevents us as sheep from hearing His Voice?  Sin is the barrier to intimacy with HIM.  As we mature in Christ, we will no longer be tempted to submit to the adversary’s deception which primarily is designed to move us away from Our Lord.  Lust and pride are two of the main areas the demons promote in a believer’s life.  As we are able to discern what they are doing, especially through others we come in contact, we will be able to uncover their attempts and expose them.  This discernment allows us to draw near to Father for we have dealt with the barriers keeping us from intimacy with Him.

Jesus spoke to the Jewish crowd in John chapter 6:

26   Jesus replied, “Let Me make this very clear, you came looking for Me because I fed you by a miracle, not because you believe in Me.

27   Why would you strive for food that is perishable and not be passionate to seek the food of Eternal Life, which never spoils?  I, the Son of Man, am ready to give you what matters most, for God the Father has destined Me for this purpose.”

28   They replied, “So what should we do if we want to do God’s work?”

29   Jesus answered, “The work you can do for God starts with believing in the One He has sent.”

The crowd was focused on the miracles of Jesus rather than the gift of Eternal Life.  Miracles are a result of walking out the Eternal Life while here on earth.  Our first mandate is to preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ with signs following.  Those signs confirm the reality and Truth of our words concerning Eternal Life.

45   Jesus continued, “It has been written by the prophets, ‘They will all be taught by God Himself.’  If you are really listening to the Father and learning directly from Him, you will come to Me.

46   For I am the only One who has come from the Father’s side, and I have seen the Father!

47   “I speak to you living Truth: Unite your heart to Me and believe—and you will experience eternal life!

48   I am the true Bread of Life. 

49   Your ancestors ate manna in the desert and died.

50   But standing here before you is the true Bread that comes out of Heaven, and when you eat this Bread you will never die.

51   I alone am this living Bread that has come to you from Heaven. Eat this Bread and you will live forever. The living Bread I give you is My Body, which I will offer as a Sacrifice so that all may live.”

Who else can claim to have been at Father’s side, seated at His Right Hand?  Nobody!  There is no greater level of intimacy than to be next to Him. 

It is written by The Holy Spirit in Hebrews chapter 8:

1   Now this is the crowning point of what we are saying: We have a magnificent King-Priest who ministers for us at the right hand of God. He is enthroned with honor next to the throne of the Majesty on High.

Do you want to be more intimate with Christ?  Jesus spoke to the disciples (and us) in Mark chapter 10:

43   “You are to lead by a different model. If you want to be the greatest, then live as one called to serve others.

44   The path to promotion comes by having the heart of a bond-slave who serves everyone.

45   For even the Son of Man did not come expecting to be served by everyone, but to serve everyone, and to give His life as the ransom price for the salvation of many.”

There is no greater intimacy with Christ than to accept His priorities and cheerfully walk in them while here on earth.
