Our Heavenly Father’s Love is constant.  This is a Truth you can count on!

In problem solving, you differentiate and separate the constants from the variables.  If you and I are dealing with issues such as health or finances, we must identify the variable keeping us from being blessed.  I can easily identify the variable… look in the mirror.

Each one of us has to change and mature in The Word.  As we do, we will be able to see and hear the spiritual in a more sensitive manner.  We must quit blaming someone or something external to us as though we are the victims.  An overcomer is not a victim.

The following Psalm provides us with a picture of FATHER’S constant Love.  It is important to read each verse slowly and not skim through this Psalm.  Don’t be in a hurry or you will not receive the fullness contained therein.

It is written by THE SPIRIT in Psalm 107:

1  Let everyone give all their praise and thanks to the Lord! Here’s why—He’s better than anyone could ever imagine. Yes, He’s always loving and kind, and His faithful Love never ends.

2 So, go ahead—let everyone know it! Tell the world how He broke through and delivered you from the power of darkness and has gathered us together from all over the world. He has set us free to be His very own!

4 Some of us once wandered in the wilderness like desert nomads, with no true direction or dwelling place.

5 Starving, thirsting, staggering, we became desperate and filled with despair.

6 Then we cried out, “Lord, help us! Rescue us!” And He did!

7 He led us right into a place of safety and abundance, a suitable city to dwell in.

8 So lift your hands and thank God for His marvelous kindness and for all His miracles of mercy for those He Loves.

9 How he satisfies the souls of thirsty ones and fills the hungry with all that is good!

10 Some of us once sat in darkness, living in the dark shadows of death. We were prisoners to our pain, chained to our regrets.

11 For we rebelled against God’s Word and rejected the wise counsel of God Most High.

12 So He humbled us through our circumstances, watching us as we stumbled, with no one there to pick us back up. Our own pain became our punishment.

13 Then we cried out, “Lord, help us! Rescue us!” And He did!

14 His Light broke through the darkness and He led us out in freedom from death’s dark shadow and snapped every one of our chains.

15 So lift your hands and give thanks to God for His marvelous kindness and for His miracles of mercy for those he loves!

16 For He smashed through heavy prison doors and shattered the steel bars that held us back, just to set us free!

17 Some of us were such fools, bringing on ourselves sorrow and suffering all because of our sins.

18 Sick and feeble, unable to stand the sight of food, we drew near to the gates of death.

19 Then we cried out, “Lord, help us! Rescue us!” And He did!

20 God spoke the Words “Be healed,” and we were healed, delivered from death’s door!

21 So lift your hands and give thanks to God for His marvelous kindness and for His miracles of mercy for those He Loves!

22 Bring your praise as an offering and your thanks as a sacrifice as you sing your story of miracles with a joyful song.

23 Some of us set sail upon the sea to faraway ports, transporting our goods from ship to shore.

24 We were witnesses of God’s power out in the ocean deep; we saw breathtaking wonders upon the high seas.

25 When God spoke He stirred up a storm, lifting high the waves with hurricane winds.

26 Ships were tossed by swelling sea, rising to the sky, then dropping down to the depths, reeling like drunkards, spinning like tops, everyone at their wits’ end until even sailors despaired of life, cringing in terror.

28 Then we cried out, “Lord, help us! Rescue us!” And He did!

29 God stilled the storm, calmed the waves, and He hushed the hurricane winds to only a whisper.

30 We were so relieved, so glad as He guided us safely to harbor in a quiet haven. 31 So lift your hands and give thanks to God for his marvelous kindness and for his miracles of mercy for those He Loves!

32 Let’s exalt Him on high and lift up our praises in public; let all the people and the leaders of the nation know how great and wonderful is Yahweh, our God!

33 Whenever he chooses He can dry up a river and turn the land into a desert.

34 Or He can take a fruitful land and make it into a saltwater swamp, all because of the wickedness of those who dwell there.

35 But He also can turn a barren wilderness into an oasis with water! He can make springs flow into desert lands

36 and turn them into fertile valleys so that cities spring up, and He gives it all to those who are hungry.

37 They can plant their fields and vineyards there and reap a bumper crop and gather a fruitful harvest.

38 God will bless them and cause them to multiply and prosper.

39 But others will become poor, humbled because of their oppression, tyranny, and sorrows.

40 For God pours contempt upon their arrogant abuse of power, heaping scorn upon their princes, and makes them wander among ruins.

41 But He raises up the poor and lowly with his favor, giving them a safe place to live where no one can touch them. God will grant them a large family and bless them!

42 The Lovers of God will rejoice when they see this. Good men are glad when the evil ones are silenced.

43 If you are truly wise, you’ll learn from what I’ve told you. It’s time for you to consider these profound lessons of God’s great Love and mercy!

The final verse sums it up!

Faith is based on knowledge.  We must no longer allow a disconnect to keep us from accessing and experiencing the Power of GOD in us.

Each one of us has the potential residing on the inside of us.  We must eliminate the disconnect between our current understanding and the revelation given to us by FATHER through HIS Word.

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

3  Everything we could ever need for life and complete devotion to God has already been deposited in us by HIS Divine power. For all this was lavished upon us through the rich experience of knowing Him Who has called us by name and invited us to come to Him through a glorious manifestation of his goodness.

It is vital that we quit looking at the external and physical but rather have faith in the Divine power deposited within each of us.  Both Paul (Ephesians 1) and Peter were used by The Holy Spirit to express this Truth.

4 As a result of this, He has given you magnificent promises that are beyond all price, so that through the power of these tremendous promises you can experience partnership with the Divine nature, by which you have escaped the corrupt desires that are of the world.

The Holy Spirit is instructing us to direct our focus so that we will appropriate that Divine power deposited within us.  What does “beyond all price” mean to you?  What is more valuable than anything the world has to offer?  Shouldn’t you and I be pursuing this Eternal treasure at all cost?  What will we do with It when we finally access it by overcoming the soul and the body?  We are to walk in Agape Love and minister to others in all areas thus establishing the Kingdom on earth.

5   So devote yourselves to lavishly supplementing your faith with goodness, and to goodness add understanding,

6 and to understanding add the strength of self-control, and to self-control add patient endurance, and to patient endurance add godliness,

7 and to godliness add mercy toward your brothers and sisters, and to mercy toward others add unending Love.

8 Since these virtues are already planted deep within, and you possess them in abundant supply, they will keep you from being inactive or fruitless in your pursuit of knowing Jesus Christ more intimately.

It is all about accessing what already exists within us.

Faith is voice-activated:

It is written by Wisdom in Proverbs chapter 4:

22 Then, as you unwrap My Words, they will impart true life and radiant health into the very core of your being.

And in Proverbs chapter 18:

21 Death and life are in the power of the tongue, And those who love it will eat its fruit.

Potential is converted to manifestation by exercise.  As I confess The Word, my faith increases and abounds.  I tell my mind who is really in charge.  As my mind aligns with my spirit, my body responds.  Since angels only respond to The Word, they are activated on our behalf to bring forth needed resources to further our walk IN HIM. 

FATHER’S plan is straightforward and will succeed for each of us as we respond to the unadulterated Word.  If we truly know FATHER’S Heart and Intent, we know that we cannot lose if we will only follow the directives of The Holy Spirit.

You can ignore reality but you cannot ignore the consequence of reality.  Wrong thinking producing wrong believing.

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

3  Everything we could ever need for life and complete devotion to God has already been deposited in us by HIS Divine power. For all this was lavished upon us through the rich experience of knowing Him Who has called us by name and invited us to come to Him through a glorious manifestation of his goodness.

Most believers are waiting for GOD to act on their behalf to fulfill needs in one or more areas of their life.  I must admit that for many years, I counted myself among them.  The teaching I received was incomplete and did not focus on passages such as the one above. 

The fivefold ministry was not living the fullness of what FATHER provided for us so they did not teach such fullness.  Their bias was based on their own past experience rather than fully trusting in what The Word was revealing to those who sought full understanding.  I am not critical of them but simply making an observation of history.

James Peter wrote by The Holy Spirit in his epistle chapter 1:

3   For you know that when your faith is tested it stirs up power within you to endure all things.

4   And then as your endurance grows even stronger it will release perfection into every part of your being until there is nothing missing and nothing lacking.

Trials and tribulations will come to every one of us in one form or another.  I know I have had my share.  It is easy to give up and move toward a passive/submissive state and succumb to the trial.  However, we must not let ourselves accept failure when it comes to our faith being tested. 

FATHER has revealed through HIS Word that the power resides on the inside of us thus we are to access this power by faith.  I know that it is easier said than done!

I was a jogger for years and about ten years ago, my daughter wanted to run a half-marathon (13.1 miles), it was on her bucket list.  I told her that I would train and run with her.  The most I had run at one time was a 10K race (6 miles).  Runners know that they will come against the proverbial wall when the body cries out for you to quit during a long run.  I experienced that myself at about mile 7.  You have to take command over your body and press on.  Some runners give in and simply stop or walk.  If you have faith that your body will respond, you press on.  I know this to be true.  I finished four half-marathons and called it “good”.  I saw that it was easy to become obsessed with such activity and FATHER had another “corrective” interview with me.  It is easy to lose focus on the Spiritual when you direct your focus on the physical… with intensity.  My mistake!

It is written by THE SPIRIT in Jeremiah 17:

10 ​​I, the LORD, search the heart, ​​I test the mind, ​​Even to give every man according to his ways, ​​according to the fruit of his doings.

We must guard our intent in everything we set our hand to.  This is why we must renew our minds daily so that our intent stays aligned with FATHER.  We must keep HIS Word before us at all times in order to test our focus.

Jesus spoke in John 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.”

When our minds are in complete union with Jesus, our fruit abounds.  To the degree that our focus has been diverted, our fruit will be lacking.  Let us not ignore the reality of that Truth.

The pathway to full maturity as Sons and Daughters includes trials and tribulation.  They will strengthen those who are committed to this level of maturity.  Paul was and so am I, are you?  I must teach on the flame of Good News!

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

1  Now, it’s because of God’s mercy that we have been entrusted with the privilege of this new covenant ministry. And we will not quit or faint with weariness. 2 We reject every shameful cover-up and refuse to resort to cunning trickery or distorting the Word of God. Instead, we open up our souls to you by presenting the Truth to everyone’s conscience in the sight and presence of God.

There is much to reject these days, more so than in the last fifty plus years of walk with MY LORD.  I see cunning trickery throughout the earth as the nefarious ones try to brainwash the masses into believing lies.  Real Truth only comes from The Word of GOD whether written or spoken.

3 Even if our Gospel message is veiled, it is only veiled to those who are perishing, 4 for their minds have been blinded by the god of this age, leaving them in unbelief. Their blindness keeps them from seeing the dayspring light of the wonderful news of the glory of Jesus Christ, who is the divine image of God.

You become like the company you keep is so true.  Everyone has a bias in their thoughts and actions and want to reassure themselves by having others agree with them even though they are walking in unrighteousness. 

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

6 For God, Who said, “Let brilliant light shine out of darkness,” is the One Who has cascaded His Light into us—the brilliant dawning Light of the glorious knowledge of God as we gaze into the face of Jesus Christ.

7 We are like common clay jars that carry this Glorious Treasure within, so that the extraordinary overflow of power will be seen as God’s, not ours.

It is all about Jesus Christ, the power deposited in us by Our Heavenly Father, and being directed by The Holy Spirit.  The adversary’s minions recognize who has taken the Highway of Holiness thus they are attempting to knock us of that path.  Paul recognized the challenges we face:

8 Though we experience every kind of pressure, we’re not crushed. At times we don’t know what to do, but quitting is not an option.

9 We are persecuted by others, but God has not forsaken us. We may be knocked down, but not out.

10 We continually share in the death of Jesus in our own bodies so that the resurrection life of Jesus will be revealed through our humanity.

11 We consider living to mean that we are constantly being handed over to death for Jesus’ sake so that the life of Jesus will be revealed through our humanity.

12 So, then, death is at work in us but it releases life in you.

The main objective of starting a race is to cross the finish line.  I was one of twelve men asked to participate in a Bible Law project in 1998 which included publishing the project on the Internet.  One by one they dropped out with various excuses.  My partner and I were the only ones left to complete the project which was published at the end of 1999.  Was it convenient?  No.  Was it overwhelming at times?  Yes.  FATHER knows those who are promise keepers when HE gives out tasks and projects to accomplish.  Am I special?  No, but I am tenacious.  Paul was too.

13 We have the same Spirit of faith that is described in the Scriptures when it says, “First I believed, then I spoke in faith.” So we also first believe then speak in faith. 14 We do this because we are convinced that HE WHO raised Jesus will raise us up with Him, and together we will all be brought into HIS Presence.

15 Yes, all things work for your enrichment so that more of God’s marvelous grace will spread to more and more people, resulting in an even greater increase of praise to God, bringing HIM even more glory!

You and I must change, moving toward greater maturity in Christ each day so that we will fulfill verse 15.

16 So no wonder we don’t give up. For even though our outer person gradually wears out, our inner being is renewed every single day.

17 We view our slight, short-lived troubles in the light of eternity. We see our difficulties as the substance that produces for us an eternal, weighty glory far beyond all comparison,

18 because we don’t focus our attention on what is seen but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but the unseen realm is Eternal.

As I grow older, the above hits close to home.  However, I focus on the Eternal and I suggest you do too, no matter what stage in life you are currently in.  It is all about the Eternal which is permanent rather than the temporary and Love must be our motivation.

You sow before you expect a harvest.  It is no different when you give.  You must give before you can expect a return whether it be thirty, sixty, or a hundredfold return.

It is written by The Holy Spirit in Deuteronomy chapter 15:

10 You shall freely and generously give to him (the poor), and your heart shall not be resentful when you give to him, because for this [generous] thing the Lord your God will bless you in all your work and in all your undertakings. 11 For the poor will never cease to be in the land; therefore I command you, saying, ‘You shall freely open your hand to your brother, to your needy, and to your poor in your land.’

Throughout Scripture, we are urged to give.  As we sow into others, the beneficial Law of sowing and reaping takes effect in our lives.  We should not give to get but instead we are to get to give so that we can expand The Kingdom throughout the earth.  Shouldn’t Kingdom expansion be our focus?

The Beloved Disciple wrote by The Holy Spirit in 3^rd John:

2 Beloved friend, I pray that you are prospering in every way and that you continually enjoy good health, just as your soul is prospering.

The word “just” means:

exactly

precisely

absolutely

completely

totally

entirely

Jesus wants our soul to prosper so that we will be blessed in all areas and in every way.  How will our soul prosper?  Paul answers this as he wrote by The Holy Spirit in Romans chapter 12:

1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service. 2 And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

As we renew our minds daily with The Word, our souls will prosper to the point of proving what the perfect Will of Our Heavenly Father is for each of us.  It is our reasonable service to FATHER to present ourselves daily.  Living a life of passivity is not acceptable in HIS Eyes.  Jesus did not come to the earth just to sit around and do nothing.  He consistently ministered to those in need.  We are to do the same.

Let us sow into other people’s lives and our seed will multiply as will our realm of influence.  Let our firstfruits honor Our Heavenly Father as one aspect of worship.  I can testify that as my wife and I sow generously, we reap an abundant harvest resulting in an increase in our giving.

When you operate in faith by Love, you draw the supernatural toward you.

It is written by The Holy Spirit in Hebrews chapter 11:

6   And without faith living within us it would be impossible to please God. For we come to God in faith knowing that He is real and that He rewards the faith of those who give all their passion and strength into seeking Him.

And in Hebrews chapter 1:

14   What role then, do the angels have? The angels are spirit-messengers sent by God to serve those who are going to be saved.

Angels are to serve us as we are led by THE SPIRIT.  They only respond to The Word and are dispatched to work in the supernatural realm on our behalf.

Jesus spoke in Luke chapter 6:

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! Your measurement of generosity becomes the measurement of your return.”

Jesus specifically spoke this Truth so shouldn’t we fully accept His Words?  It matters not what country you live in for this Truth does not rely on your locale.  You and I determine our individual results based on our level of generosity.  The rich young ruler missed an opportunity to be blessed beyond his wildest dreams!

Giving correctly is the key to opening up the storehouses of Heaven.  If you give under duress, you shouldn’t give.  If you are made to feel guilty, you shouldn’t give.  Giving is a tangible aspect of worship because your Love for FATHER is being expressed by your joyful action.

My giving, when done solely because of my Love for FATHER and mankind, is an investment in the future for everyone involved.  A seed is designed to multiply and that applies to financial seed sown as well.  FATHER is the One who gave us this hope and expectation, so let us submit to HIS Plan. 

Once our hope is grounded in HIS Word, our faith springs forth and manifestation is around the corner.  I have seen this Truth in operation for over five decades.  Do not doubt the Words of Jesus!  The angels are awaiting your agreement with His Words in order to assist you in manifesting blessing on your behalf.

When you give by faith, your money or other assets of value, enter into your future.

It was written by The Holy Spirit in 1^st Kings, chapter 17:

12 So she (the widow) said, “As the LORD your God lives, I do not have bread, only a handful of flour in a bin, and a little oil in a jar; and see, I am gathering a couple of sticks that I may go in and prepare it for myself and my son, that we may eat it, and die.”

13 And Elijah said to her, “Do not fear; go and do as you have said, but make me a small cake from it first, and bring it to me; and afterward make some for yourself and your son. 14 For thus says the LORD God of Israel: ‘The bin of flour shall not be used up, nor shall the jar of oil run dry, until the day the LORD sends rain on the earth.’ ”

15 So she went away and did according to the word of Elijah; and she and he and her household ate for many days. 16 The bin of flour was not used up, nor did the jar of oil run dry, according to the word of the LORD which He spoke by Elijah.

The widow responded to The Word and she gave of her last flour and oil to Elijah.  In response, her future became bright and the ingredients multiplied thus sustaining her family throughout the drought.  The supernatural arrived at her house and manifested on her family’s behalf for 3 1/2 years.  It will happen to anyone who responds in Love, hope, and faith according to HIS Word.

Giving is one aspect of worship, it is not part of the Law.

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in 2^nd Corinthians chapter 9:

5 That’s why I’ve requested that the brothers come before I do and make arrangements in advance for the substantial offering you pledged. Then it will be seen as a matter of generosity and not under pressure, as something you felt forced to do.

6 Here’s my point. A stingy sower will reap a meager harvest, but the one who sows from a generous spirit will reap an abundant harvest.

7 Let giving flow from your heart, not from a sense of religious duty. Let it spring up freely from the joy of giving—all because God loves hilarious generosity!

We welcome all cheerful givers to contribute to this ministry for we are simply conduits to help those in need.  My wife and I give every month out of joy for FATHER has, is, and will continue to provide us with an abundant harvest.  I trust those who give to Servias are experiencing similar blessings.  If not, verse 6 is yours to demand and expect.  Resources await our demand to move from a static state to deployment.

Paul, who was an expert in the Law, express the Truth that giving was not a part of the Law else he would have stated it.  In fact, a generous giver is actually worshipping THE LORD when he or she autonomously gives to one of FATHER’S ministries out of Love.  Such a form of giving acknowledges that FATHER is deserving of our giving above all else.  After all, HE doesn’t need the money.

8 Yes, God is more than ready to overwhelm you with every form of grace, so that you will have more than enough of everything—every moment and in every way. He will make you overflow with abundance in every good thing you do.

FATHER takes on the responsibility to provide us with overflowing abundance in all that we set our hand to.  HE is not going to rain money from Heaven but HE will provide the means here on earth to bless each of us.

9 Just as the Scriptures say about the one who trusts in Him: Because he has sown extravagantly and given to the poor, his kindness and generous deeds will never be forgotten.

This passage is central to those who give to Servias.  We give the proceeds to the poor, specifically to the Kids In Need.  Your giving will not be forgotten by FATHER and HE will reward you accordingly, both here and in Heaven.

Paul referenced Psalm 112:

9 He has dispersed abroad, He has given to the poor; His righteousness endures forever; His horn will be exalted with honor.

What an extravagant opportunity FATHER has given to us!

10 This generous God Who supplies abundant seed for the farmer, which becomes bread for our meals, is even more extravagant toward you. First He supplies every need, plus more. Then He multiplies the seed as you sow it, so that the harvest of your generosity will grow.

11 You will be abundantly enriched in every way as you give generously on every occasion, for when we take your gifts to those in need, it causes many to give thanks to God.

12 The priestly ministry you are providing through your offering not only supplies what is lacking for God’s people, it inspires an outpouring of praises and thanksgiving to God Himself.

When you and I give, we are providing a true priestly ministry on FATHER’S behalf.  True priests lead the rest of the people into genuine worship of THE LORD.  What a blessing!

We must place a demand in order to receive.  In order to receive, you must believe what you say.

Jesus spoke in Mark chapter 11:

22  So Jesus answered and said to them, “Have faith in God.

23 For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be removed and be cast into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says.

24 Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them.

What you believe must be based on revelation from The Word in order to produce the desired results.  As we ponder and meditate on The Word, It becomes alive within us because It is Truth and our spirits are activated by Truth.  The Holy Spirit inside us will divide Truth from soulish opinions and lies from the adversary.  As we consistently pray in The Holy Spirit, we become more sensitive to His leading.

Meditating and our imagination are closely aligned with each other.  As I imagine myself being successful in achieving results and consistently seeing those results in my imagination, I am meditating on The Word.  This comes through constantly renewing my mind to the point where I really expect manifestation to come forth in my life.  Any doubt I once had is now gone.

Jesus spoke in Mark chapter 16:

15  And Jesus 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.

17 And these miracle signs will accompany those who believe: They will drive out demons in the power of My Name. They will speak in tongues.

18 They will be supernaturally protected from snakes and from drinking anything poisonous. And they will lay hands on the sick and heal them.”

Do you see yourself doing the above?  If not, you should start meditating thus imagining yourself doing each of the above.  These are commands of Jesus and are not limited to the disciples of that period.  Those directives are meant for all mature Sons and Daughters of GOD to do the same for we are His Image on this earth.

Yes, your imagination can be used to produce unrighteous seed.  This is what happened at the Tower of Babel when FATHER dispersed the multitudes and confused their language.  When you are in one accord in your imagination with another, nothing is impossible.

It is written by THE SPIRIT in Genesis chapter 11:

1 Now the whole earth had one language and one speech. 2 And it came to pass, as they journeyed from the east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar, and they dwelt there. 3 Then they said to one another, “Come, let us make bricks and bake them thoroughly.” They had brick for stone, and they had asphalt for mortar. 4 And they said, “Come, let us build ourselves a city, and a tower whose top is in the heavens; let us make a name for ourselves, lest we be scattered abroad over the face of the whole earth.”

5 But the LORD came down to see the city and the tower which the sons of men had built. 6 And the LORD said, “Indeed the people are one and they all have one language, and this is what they begin to do; now nothing that they propose to do will be withheld from them. 7 Come, let Us go down and there confuse their language, that they may not understand one another’s speech.” 8 So the LORD scattered them abroad from there over the face of all the earth, and they ceased building the city. 9 Therefore its name is called Babel, because there the LORD confused the language of all the earth; and from there the LORD scattered them abroad over the face of all the earth.

Has this Truth changed since then?  No.  We are to use our imagination for the righteous acts we are called to accomplish for the Kingdom.

It is written by The Holy Spirit in Psalm 46:

10  Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth!

Be still, meditate, imagine, and know that The Truth given to us by FATHER can and will be accomplished through us.

How willing are you to receive from FATHER?

It is written 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.”

People often pray that FATHER send them money, healing, etc.  However, HE has already given us the power to obtain whatever we need to live in Divine health and walk in abundance.  The above passage assures us of HIS Divine Intent to establish HIS Kingdom on earth as it already is in Heaven. 

FATHER’S Intent did not change from the Old Testament to the New Testament.  If anything, HIS Covenant was perfected by Jesus by His death and resurrection.  Power and authority have one overriding purpose: to establish HIS Kingdom through us.  It is up to each of us to use all of our faculties to bring this forth on earth in a consistent and faithful fashion. 

We must reach out in faith to receive.  We must be able to properly imagine in order to change our mindsets to line up with HIS Word.  Do you see yourself prosperous?  If not, you must change.  Do you see yourself walking in Divine health?  If not, you must change.  Be assured, FATHER is not changing nor is HE responding to our begging and pleading.

We have already been given all the necessary resources to bring forth the Kingdom.  The only restrictions are our mindset and imagination.  In order to have manifestation, you must have faith in HIS Word.  In order to have faith, you must first have hope.  In order to have hope, you must first truly imagine yourself being able to fulfill HIS promises to us.  In order to imagine, you must change your mindset from the negative to the positive.  Are you truly willing to change?  I am… I must!

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

24 who Himself bore our sins in His own body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live for righteousness—by whose stripes you were healed.

The critical word here is “were”.  Our healing took place 2,000 years ago but our acceptance is a current issue.  The moment FATHER speaks a Word, It becomes a reality to those willing to walk in it.  We have the option to accept or reject The Word.  HE gave us the power on earth and is now seated awaiting our acceptance and actions here on earth.

In Genesis chapter 1, FATHER spoke:

26 Then God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, over all[fn] the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.” 27 So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them. 28 Then God blessed them, and God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it; have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over every living thing that moves on the earth.”

FATHER has never revoked HIS Word.  We are to be fruitful and multiply, not divide.  We are to have dominion: power and authority.  If you can’t imagine yourself walking in such dominion, it won’t happen in your life.  It is time to change and step up to what FATHER ordained.

The features of Godliness should be seen in our lives and ministries as we reach full maturity: (1) We excel in everything. (2) We have unstoppable faith. (3) We have an anointing of grace to speak the Word. (4) We have revelation knowledge. (5) We have passionate devotion. (6) We show Love. (7) We are generous.

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

3  Everything we could ever need for life and complete devotion to God has already been deposited in us by His Divine power. For all this was lavished upon us through the rich experience of knowing Him who has called us by name and invited us to come to Him through a glorious manifestation of His goodness.

FATHER spoke you and me into being thus we ARE The Word of GOD.

It is written by The Holy Spirit in Psalm 33:

4  For God’s Word is something to sing about! He is true to His promises, His Word can be trusted, and everything He does is reliable and right.

5 The Lord Loves seeing justice on the earth. Anywhere and everywhere you can find His faithful, unfailing Love!

6 All He had to do was speak by his Spirit-wind command, and God created the heavenlies. Filled with galaxies and stars, the vast cosmos He wonderfully made.

7 His voice scooped out the seas. The ocean depths He poured into vast reservoirs. 8 Now, with breathtaking wonder, let everyone worship Yahweh, this awe-inspiring Creator.

9 Words He breathed and worlds were birthed. “Let there be,” and there it was— Springing forth the moment He spoke. No sooner said than done!

If FATHER created the universe and everything within by HIS Words, HE created you and me by HIS Words thus you and I are also The Word of GOD just like our Elder Brother!

Since we have been elevated by revelation to walk in such authority, we should act accordingly for we have better promises than what is found in the Old Covenant, specifically Deuteronomy 28:1-12.

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in 2^nd Corinthians chapter 8:

2 For even during a season of severe difficulty and tremendous suffering, they became even more filled with joy. From the depths of their extreme poverty, super-abundant joy overflowed into an act of extravagant generosity.

3 For I can verify that they spontaneously gave, not only according to their means but far beyond what they could afford.

4 They actually begged us for the privilege of sharing in this ministry of giving to God’s Holy people who are living in poverty.

5 They exceeded our expectations by first dedicating themselves fully to the Lord and then to us, according to God’s pleasure.

6 That is why we appealed to Titus, since he was the one who got you started and encouraged you to give, so he could help you complete this generous undertaking on your behalf.

7 You do well and excel in every respect—in unstoppable faith, in powerful preaching, in revelation knowledge, in your passionate devotion, and in sharing the Love we have shown to you. So make sure that you also excel in grace-filled generosity.

As we come into the full revelation of FATHER’S Divine Intent in each of us, we will fulfill the seven aspects of maturity Paul mentions in verse 7.
