We need to cease limiting GOD!

It is written by The Holy Spirit in Psalms chapter 78:

41Again and again they limited God, preventing Him from blessing them.

Continually they turned back from Him and provoked the Holy One of Israel!

42They forgot HIS great Love, how HE took them by HIS Hand,

and with redemption’s kiss HE delivered them from their enemies.

43They disregarded all the epic signs and marvels they saw

when they escaped from Egypt’s bondage.

They forgot the judgment of the plagues that set them free.

FATHER established laws and put them in place to govern us here on earth.  HE will not break HIS own laws and neither should we.  There are both natural laws and spirituals laws alike.  We rely on gravity to work without exception.  The higher law of thrust and lift allow birds to fly and temporarily supersede gravity but only for a period of time.

There are laws tied to the words we speak.

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Romans chapter 10:

9And what is God’s “living message”? It is the revelation of faith for salvation, which is the message that we preach. For if you publicly declare with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will experience salvation. 10The heart that believes in him receives the gift of the righteousness of God—and then the mouth confesses, resulting in salvation.

Just thinking about salvation does not bring it forth.

Jesus spoke in Mark chapter 11:

22Jesus replied, “Let the faith of God be in you!  23Listen to the Truth I speak to you: Whoever says to this mountain with great faith and does not doubt,  ‘Mountain, be lifted up and thrown into the midst of the sea,’  and believes that what he says will happen, it will be done. 24This is the reason I urge you to boldly believe for whatever you ask for in prayer—be convinced that you have received it and it will be yours.

Quit speaking words you don’t mean.  Clean up your words for they contain power.

Jesus also spoke in Matthew chapter 12:

35“When virtue is stored within, the hearts of good, upright people will produce good fruit. But when evil is hidden within, those who are evil will produce evil fruit. 36You can be sure of this: when the day of judgment comes, everyone will be held accountable for every careless word he has spoken.  37Your very words will be used as evidence, and your words will declare you either innocent or guilty.”

We limit Our Heavenly Father by the words we speak so it is better to remain silent than to speak words which compromise The Word of GOD.  We are to speak Words of Love, faith, and hope.  It is becoming increasingly important as we move toward the tumultuous times ahead that those in need see the light radiating from those who have been empowered and given authority by FATHER.  This is what The Holy Spirit has been preparing us for so let us not grow weary in doing good.

James wrote by The Holy Spirit in his epistle chapter 3:

1My dear brothers and sisters, don’t be so eager to become a teacher in the church since you know that we who teach are held to a higher standard of judgment.

2We all fail in many areas, but especially with our words. Yet if we’re able to bridle the words we say we are powerful enough to control ourselves in every way, and that means our character is mature and fully developed.

3Horses have bits and bridles in their mouths so that we can control and guide their large body. 4And the same with mighty ships, though they are massive and driven by fierce winds, yet they are steered by a tiny rudder at the direction of the person at the helm.

5And so the tongue is a small part of the body yet it carries great power!  Just think of how a small flame can set a huge forest ablaze. 6And the tongue is a fire! It can be compared to the sum total of wickedness and is the most dangerous part of our human body. It corrupts the entire body and is a hellish flame!  It releases a fire that can burn throughout the course of human existence.

7For every wild animal on earth including birds, creeping reptiles, and creatures of the sea and land  have all been overpowered and tamed by humans, 8but the tongue is not able to be tamed. It’s a fickle, unrestrained evil that spews out words full of toxic poison!

9We use our tongue to praise God our Father and then turn around and curse a person who was made in his very image!  10 Out of the same mouth we pour out words of praise one minute and curses the next. My brothers and sisters, this should never be!

11-12Would you look for olives hanging on a fig tree or go to pick figs from a grapevine? Is it possible that fresh and bitter water can flow out of the same spring? So neither can a bitter spring produce fresh water.

We need to quit limiting GOD with our words!

We need to operate in the full demonstration of FATHER’S power and authority else we are not deemed “essential” in these times!

It is written by The Holy Spirit in Hebrews chapter 2:

1 This is why it is so crucial that we be all the more engaged and attentive to the Truths that we have heard so that we do not drift off course.

2 For if the message of the law spoken and confirmed by angels brought a just penalty to every disobedient violation; 3 then how would we expect to escape punishment if we despise the very Truths that give us life? 

The Lord Himself was the first to announce these things, and those who heard Him firsthand confirmed their accuracy.

4 Then God added HIS witness to theirs. HE validated their ministry with signs, astonishing wonders, all kinds of powerful miracles,  and by the gifts of the Holy Spirit,  which HE distributed as he desired.

Do you comprehend the issue at hand?  Without FATHER’S confirmation, what is the point of attempting to minister our way of life to others?  They just see the church as nonessential, another denomination without power and authority.  Over the last two years, the church was deemed nonessential.

Jesus commanded the disciples in Luke chapter 9:

1Jesus summoned together his twelve apostles and imparted to them authority over every demon and the power to heal every disease. 2Then he commissioned them to proclaim God’s kingdom and to heal the sick to demonstrate that the kingdom had arrived.

Jesus also spoke in Mark chapter 16:

15 And He said to them, “As you go into all the world, preach openly the wonderful news of the Gospel to the entire human race!

16 Whoever believes the good news and is baptized will be saved, and whoever does not believe the good news will be condemned. 17And these miracle signs will accompany those who believe: They will drive out demons in the power of My Name. They will speak in tongues. 18They will be supernaturally protected from snakes and from drinking anything poisonous.  And they will lay hands on the sick and heal them.”

19After saying these things, Jesus was lifted up into heaven and sat down at the place of honor at the right hand of God!

You and I should expect to become essential in our walk, now not later.  Ask FATHER what needs to change in order for us to walk in that power and authority. 

Ask and you will be given, seek and you will find.  It is time for us to address the final changes which need to take place in our lives so that we can do those works Jesus spoke of concerning our commission!

We really need to fully accept FATHER’S Word as being totally true, accurate, and empowering… then walk in It.  As we mature, we will become confident of FATHER’S Love for us and realize Its unconditional nature.

GOD is Love!  Knowing this reality, contemplate the following chapter.

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

1 If I were to speak with eloquence in earth’s many languages, and in the Heavenly tongues of angels, yet I didn’t express myself with GOD’S Character (Love),  my words would be reduced to the hollow sound of nothing more than a clanging cymbal.

2 And if I were to have the gift of prophecy  with a profound understanding of God’s hidden secrets, and if I possessed unending supernatural knowledge, and if I had the greatest gift of faith that could move mountains,  but have never learned to  walk by The Holy Spirit (Love), then I am nothing.

3 And if I were to be so generous as to give away everything I owned to feed the poor, and to offer my body to be burned as a martyr, without the pure motive of My Heavenly Father (Love), I would gain nothing of value.

4 GOD (Love) is large and incredibly patient.  GOD (Love) is gentle and consistently kind to all. A mature Son (Love) refuses to be jealous when blessing comes to someone else. A mature Son (Love) does not brag about his achievements nor inflate his own importance.

5 GOD (Love) does not traffic in shame and disrespect, nor selfishly seek its own honor. GOD (Love) is not easily irritated or quick to take offense. 

6 GOD (Love) joyfully celebrates honesty and finds no delight in what is wrong. 

7 GOD (Love) is a safe place of shelter, for HE never stops believing the best for others.  GOD (Love) never takes failure as defeat, for HE never gives up.

8 GOD (Love) never stops loving.  HE extends beyond the gift of prophecy, which eventually fades away.  HE is more enduring than tongues, which will one day fall silent. GOD (Love) remains long after words of knowledge are forgotten. 

9 Our present knowledge and our prophecies are but partial,

10 but when GOD’S (love’s) perfection arrives, the partial will fade away. 

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.

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 GOD (Love)—yet GOD (Love) surpasses them all. So above all else, let GOD (Love) be the beautiful prize for which you run.

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. “

The above passage expects fulfillment in all three aspects: ask or demand, seek with the expectation of finding, and knock with the expectation of the door opening,  Be assured, GOD Who is Love will respond.

We really need to fully accept FATHER’S Word as being totally true, accurate, and empowering… then walk in It.  However, it is all about relationship.  HIS Covenant with us is intended to be based on our relationship with HIM as Our Heavenly Father.

Those who truly Love THE LORD are givers but those who try to work the system are takers and don’t have a mature, intimate relationship with FATHER.  HE knows the difference.

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.

Christians like to focus on the above passage without reading the next verses.  Their immaturity is exposed when they simply want more for themselves without regard to the needs of others.  As Kenneth Hagin used to say, “Me and my four and no more.”  However, Jesus continued:

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?”

Jesus now explains FATHER’S relationship as being better than your earthly father and would not give you anything that would hurt you.  HE Loves us unconditionally and only wants the best for us no matter what our state of immaturity.  I look back at my own life and see how I was oriented toward selfishness when I was immature.  FATHER in HIS great grace and mercy was longsuffering with my immaturity thus I have a great appreciation for HIS Agape Love.

We have a covenant with Our Creator but it is reserved for those who truly Love HIM and obey HIM.  Why?  If you consume the benefits on your flesh and soul, you will surely die and HE does not promote death or destruction in any form.

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

6 However, there is a wisdom that we continually speak of when we are among the spiritually mature.  It’s wisdom that didn’t originate in this present age, nor did it come from the rulers of this age who are in the process of being dethroned.  7 Instead, we continually speak of this wonderful wisdom that comes from God, hidden before now in a mystery.  It is His secret plan, destined before the ages, to bring us into glory.  8 None of the rulers of this present world order understood it, for if they had, they never would have crucified the Lord of shining glory.  9 This is why the Scriptures say:

Things never discovered or heard of before,

things beyond our ability to imagine —

these are the many things God has in store

for all His Lovers.

10 But God now unveils these profound realities to us by the Spirit.  Yes, He has revealed to us his inmost heart and deepest mysteries through the Holy Spirit, Who constantly explores all things. 11After all, who can really see into a person’s heart and know his hidden impulses except for that person’s spirit? So it is with God. His thoughts and secrets are only fully understood by His Spirit, the Spirit of God.

The spiritually mature will be able to consistently walk in the Covenant established by Our Heavenly Father.  These writings are to assist you in becoming mature so that FATHER will see you as one of HIS Lovers whom HE can trust.

Would you hand over your check book to a child?  Would you give a child the keys to your car?  The Keys to The Kingdom are reserved for those who know how to handle such responsibility… without question!

We really need to fully accept FATHER’S Word as being totally true, accurate, and empowering… then walk in It.  However, it is all about relationship.

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in 2^nd Corinthians chapter 10:

1Now, please listen, for I need to address an issue. I’m making this personal appeal to you by the gentleness and self-forgetfulness of Christ. I am the one who is “humble and timid” when face-to-face with you but “bold and outspoken” when a safe distance away.  2Now I plead with you that when I come, don’t force me to take a hard line with you (which I’m willing to do) by daring to confront those who mistakenly believe that we are living by the standards of the world, not by the Spirit’s wisdom and power.

Our focus must always be spiritual rather than being diverted to the physical realm.

3-4 For although we live in the natural realm, we don’t wage a military campaign employing human weapons, using manipulation to achieve our aims. Instead, our spiritual weapons are energized with Divine power to effectively dismantle the defenses behind which people hide.  5We 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. 6Since we are armed with such dynamic weaponry, we stand ready to punish any trace of rebellion, as soon as you choose complete obedience.

We must immerse ourselves in The Word and It must become first and foremost in our lives.  Jesus is Our Elder Brother and we must have a personal relationship with Him.  How?  By focusing on His Words and His Way.  He is our perfect Example and we want to be treated as His friend from a relational point of view.

Yes, we have a positional status by being born again.  This gets us to Heaven.  However while we are on this earth, we should focus on doing His commands and walking in Agape Love.

Jesus spoke in Matthew chapter 7:

21“Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter into Heaven’s kingdom. It is only those who persist in doing the will of My Heavenly Father. 22On the day of judgment many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, don’t you remember us? Didn’t we prophesy in your name? Didn’t we cast out demons and do many miracles in Your Name?’ 23But I will have to say to them, ‘Go away from me, you lawless rebels! I’ve never been joined to you!’

24“Everyone who hears My teaching and applies it to his life can be compared to a wise man who built his house on an unshakable foundation. 25When the rains fell and the flood came, with fierce winds beating upon his house, it stood firm because of its strong foundation.

26“But everyone who hears My teaching and does not apply it to his life can be compared to a foolish man who built his house on sand. 27When it rained and rained and the flood came, with wind and waves beating upon his house, it collapsed and was swept away.”

Jesus explicitly warned us and will separate those who had no personal relationship with Him but simply “worked the system”.

You don’t need to “work” the Word; you simply need to accept It as being true.

We don’t need to ask FATHER 500 times to heal us, we really need to fully accept FATHER’S Word as being totally true, accurate, and empowering… then walk in It.

Jesus spoke in John chapter 14:

6 Jesus explained, “I am the Way, I am the Truth, and I am the Life. No one comes next to the Father except through union with Me.  To know Me is to know My Father too. 7And from now on you will realize that you have seen Him and experienced Him.”

With these Words Jesus spoke, why do you question any Word Jesus expressed in The Gospels?  Why do you think that the devil does not want the Name of Jesus mentioned in the media?  The Name of Jesus, when mixed with true authority given to those willing to embrace it, is more powerful than anything else on this planet.  Once the disciples finally understood and convinced of this Truth, they were able to fulfill their callings.

Luke wrote by The Holy Spirit in Acts chapter 3:

1One afternoon Peter and John went to the temple for the three o’clock prayer.  2As they came to the entrance called the Beautiful Gate, they were captured by the sight of a man crippled from birth being carried and placed at the entrance to the temple. He was often brought there to beg for money from those going in to worship. 3When he noticed Peter and John going into the temple, he begged them for money.

4Peter and John, looking straight into the eyes of the crippled man, said, “Look at us!” 5Expecting a gift, he readily gave them his attention.

6 Then Peter said, “I don’t have money, but I’ll give you this—by the power of the Name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, stand up and walk!”

7-8 Peter held out his right hand to the crippled man. As he pulled the man to his feet, suddenly power surged into his crippled feet and ankles. The man jumped up, stood there for a moment stunned, and then began to walk around! As he went into the temple courts with Peter and John, he leapt for joy and shouted praises to God.

9When all the people saw him jumping up and down and heard him glorifying God, 10 they realized it was the crippled beggar they had passed by in front of the Beautiful Gate. Astonishment swept over the crowd, for they were amazed over what had happened to him.

Peter and John got it!  They operated according to the revelation of what Jesus had been preaching to them for 3 ½ years.  After His resurrection, Jesus spent the additional 40 days teaching them on the Kingdom of GOD.  Once they finally connected the dots so to speak, they walked in the same power and authority as Jesus, Our Elder Brother and Perfect Example.  You and I need to set forth the same expectation.

The last two years have revealed the state of the people.  It is time to remove the wood, hay, and stubble preventing you from achieving full maturity in being led by The Holy Spirit. 

You will either repent now or later, but make no mistake, you will repent.  It is time to turn yourself in to FATHER… I had to!  I am unwilling to allow any hindrance to impede my maturing process any longer, no matter who or what is the source of the problem.  Don’t be entangled!

Wood, hay, and stubble prevent you from transitioning to the supernatural when challenges confront you.  Your belief system prevents you from accessing your full value found in your book written in Heaven.  These writing are intended to align your belief system (aka mindset), so that you will walk in full maturity as a Son or Daughter of THE MOST HIGH.  Believe me, this broken world needs us to achieve full maturity now, not later.  You don’t need to be a casualty of the current system.  Immature believers who are led by the narratives spewed out by the media subject themselves to becoming casualties.

We need to be fully prepared for the days of Noah.  Jesus spoke about His return in Luke chapter 17:

22 Later, Jesus addressed this again with his apostles, saying, “The time is coming when a great passion will be awakened within you to see me again. Yes, you will long to see the beginning of the days of the Son of Man, but you won’t be able to find Me. 23 You will hear reports from some who will say, ‘Look, he has returned,’ ‘He’s over here,’ or, ‘He’s over there!’ Don’t believe it or run after them, for their claims will be false.

24 The day of the Son of Man will burst forth with the brightness of a lightning strike that shines from one end of the sky to the other, illuminating the earth. 25 “But before this takes place, the Son of Man must pass through great suffering and rejection from this generation. 26 The same things that happened in the days of Noah will take place in the days of the Son of Man. 27 They were eating, they were drinking, they were marrying, and they were given in marriage until the day Noah boarded the ark and the devastating flood came and swept them all away.

28  “The days of the Son of Man can also be compared to the days of Lot. The people of that time lived their lives as normal. They got married, raised families, built homes and businesses, yet they were totally unaware of what was coming until the day Lot departed from Sodom. The sky opened up and rained fire and burning sulfur upon them, destroying everyone and everything they had built. So it will be on the day of the unveiling of the Son of Man. 31 “In the day of my appearing, if one is outside, he won’t even have time to go back into the house to gather his belongings. And those toiling in their fields won’t have time to run back home. 32 Don’t forget the example of Lot’s wife and what happened to her when she turned back. 33 All who are obsessed with being secure in life will lose it all—including their lives. But those who let go of their lives and surrender them to me will discover true life. 34 For in that night there will be two lying in their bed; one will be suddenly swept away while the other will be left alive. 35 There will be two women working together at household duties; one will be suddenly swept away while the other will be left alive.”

It is apparent that we are in the days Jesus spoke of in the above passage.  You and I need to embrace the Holy Fire and allow that fire to totally burn up the wood, hay, and stubble.  Then, we need to speak from The Fire and stay in The Fire.  This will remove the limitations we previously walked by and then those in need will be drawn to us for ministry.

When are you going to be moved by the impulses of The Holy Spirit rather than the impulses of people’s opinions about you?

It is time to remove the wood, hay, and stubble preventing you from achieving full maturity in being led by The Holy Spirit.  You will either repent now or later, but make no mistake, you will repent.  It is time to turn yourself in to FATHER… I had to!  I am unwilling to allow any hindrance to my maturing process to impede me any longer, no matter who or what is the source of the problem.

My responsibility as a teacher is to encourage you to walk in full maturity, not keep you in submission to another’s control.  The Gospel is not for a select few to spread but It is meant for all who have ears to hear to be used as HIS vessels of impartation. 

It does not matter what your current situation is for FATHER can and will deliver you out of any hindrance to your calling.  It does however require you to walk in faith.  Hope precedes faith and you must conceive using your imagination to produce hope.  When imagination is used for the positive, it is a powerful resource.

FATHER gave us the negative implications of imagination in Genesis when HE moved upon Moses to write by THE SPIRIT in Genesis chapter 6:

5 The LORD observed the extent of human wickedness on the earth, and HE saw that everything they thought or imagined was consistently and totally evil. 6 So the LORD was sorry HE had ever made them and put them on the earth. It broke HIS Heart. 7 And the LORD said, “I will wipe this human race I have created from the face of the earth. Yes, and I will destroy every living thing—all the people, the large animals, the small animals that scurry along the ground, and even the birds of the sky. I am sorry I ever made them.” 8 But Noah found favor with the LORD.

In response to Noah finding favor, in Genesis chapter 8:

18 So Noah, his wife, and his sons and their wives left the boat. 19 And all of the large and small animals and birds came out of the boat, pair by pair.

20 Then Noah built an altar to the LORD, and there he sacrificed as burnt offerings the animals and birds that had been approved for that purpose. 21 And the LORD was pleased with the aroma of the sacrifice and said to himself, “I will never again curse the ground because of the human race, even though everything they think or imagine is bent toward evil from childhood. I will never again destroy all living things. 22 As long as the earth remains, there will be planting and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night.”

Imagination can be for good or bad, depending on the state of our spirit.  We must not allow our imaginations to focus and dwell on anything unrighteous.  If we will only focus on righteous thoughts and Scriptures, our imagination will conceive hope which sets the stage for us to walk in faith toward full manifestation of what we initially imagined.
