What GOD does in the our spirit is constant and unwavering.  However, our mind must be renewed to conform to our spirit man.

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Ephesians 4:

17  So with the Wisdom given to me from the Lord I say: You should not live like the unbelievers around you who walk in their empty delusions.

18 Their corrupted logic has been clouded because their hearts are so far from God—their blinded understanding and deep-seated moral darkness keeps them from the True Knowledge of God.

19 Because of spiritual apathy, they surrender their lives to lewdness, impurity, and sexual obsession.

Until your mind is renewed, you can walk in corrupted logic.  This is the problem with many Christians today.  They think that once you are born again, all is well.  They fail to understand that the mind must be renewed as well and this takes time and commitment.

20 But this is not the way of Life that Christ has unfolded within you.

21 If you have really experienced the Anointed One, and heard His Truth, it will be seen in your life; for we know that the Ultimate Reality is embodied in Jesus!

22 And He has taught you to let go of the lifestyle of the ancient man, the old self- life, which was corrupted by sinful and deceitful desires that spring from delusions.

23 Now it’s time to be made new by every revelation that’s been given to you.

How do we get revelation?  It is found by dwelling in The Word and becoming sensitive to The Holy Spirit.  When we pray in THE SPIRIT, our sensitivity increases.

24 And to be transformed as you embrace the glorious Christ-within as your new life and live in union with Him! For God has re-created you all over again in his perfect righteousness, and you now belong to him in the realm of true Holiness.

When we were born again, our spirit became alive and is perfect.  It is our mind that requires renewal.

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in 1^st  Corinthians 6:

14  Now the God who raised up our Lord from the grave will awaken and raise us up through HIS mighty power!

17 But the one who joins himself to the Lord is mingled into One Spirit with Him.

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in 2^nd  Corinthians 5:

17 Now, if anyone is enfolded into Christ, he has become an entirely new creation. All that is related to the old order has vanished. Behold, everything (in the spirit) is fresh and new.

In the past, Christians have assumed that all things included their mind AND their circumstances but failed to realize that Paul was referring to our spirit.  Our minds did not become “new” thus we have the responsibility to renew our minds so that the mind will align itself with our spirit.

The Beloved Disciple wrote by The Holy Spirit in 1^st John 4:

17By living in God, Love has been brought to Its full expression in us so that we may fearlessly face the day of judgment, because all that Jesus now is, so are we in this world.

If you can fully grasp and walk in this revelation, you will have reached full maturity in Christ!

The devil’s only power is deception.

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Ephesians chapter 6:

11  Put on God’s complete set of armor provided for us, so that you will be protected as you fight against the evil strategies of the accuser (the wiles of the devil)!

“Wiles” means deception, lies, cunningness, craftinessd, which implies that satan’s only power is deception.

What do you think virtual reality is?  At its root, it is deception.  Why do you think the gaming industry is a multi-billion dollar industry?  It has evolved into mass deception of reality.  Why do you think that young people are now acquiring weapons and shooting others?  Most have allowed games focused on armed conflict to become their reality.  They have inserted themselves into virtual reality and then walk out their fantasy.

The mind can be trained to believe virtual reality is actual reality.  This is infiltrating the minds of the youth.

It doesn’t stop with computer-generated games.  Virtual currency such as Bitcoin is no different.  The governments around the world would like to eliminate true money/currency with virtual currency.  Why?  It is because once you move to a computerized medium of exchange, you can totally control the population.  You can control their movements, what they buy, what they sell, and what to extract for taxes without their consent.  You can create more “money” at the touch of a button. Think about it.

Physical gold and silver have been the foundation of money for thousands of years because men cannot manipulate their value for their own purposes.  Once a nation moves away from this standard, ultimately their money becomes worthless.  The money slowly dies after the “perception” of value declines to the point where people no longer accept it.

How long will the rest of the world accept the U.S. Dollar as the “world’s currency”?  Only FATHER knows.  In 1971, President Nixon took us off the gold standard and the value of the dollar began its slow decline.  Russia and China are now challenging the U.S. Dollar standard and are working toward removing themselves from the “enslavement” of the economic power of the U.S.  They are actively accumulating gold reserves in their coordinated plan to decouple from the dollar.  In the past, the U.S military has effectively forced the use of the dollar on a global basis.  How much longer will that last?  Only FATHER knows.

What should you and I do?  We are to move towards full maturity as Sons and Daughters so that we will prepare and walk effectively no matter what circumstances arise.  Changing men’s hearts and minds are the solution to the world’s current direction.

The more sensitive you become to the Truth, the more sensitive you are to discerning lies.

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Ephesians chapter 6:

11  Put on God’s complete set of armor provided for us, so that you will be protected as you fight against the evil strategies of the accuser!

12 Your hand-to-hand combat is not with human beings, but with the highest principalities and authorities operating in rebellion under the heavenly realms. For they are a powerful class of demon-gods and evil spirits that hold this dark world in bondage.

13 Because of this, you must wear all the armor that God provides so you’re protected as you confront the slanderer, for you are destined for all things and will rise victorious.

14 Put on Truth as a belt to strengthen you to stand in triumph. Put on Holiness as the protective armor that covers your heart.

15 Stand on your feet alert, then you’ll always be ready to share the blessings of peace.

16 In every battle, take faith as your wrap-around shield, for it is able to extinguish the blazing arrows coming at you from the evil one!

17 Embrace the power of salvation’s full deliverance, like a helmet to protect your thoughts from lies. And take the mighty razor-sharp Spirit-sword of the spoken Word of God.

An accuser is a person who claims that someone has committed an offense or done something wrong.  The devil tries to accuse us of wrongdoing and uses our ignorance and/or lack of revelation of The Word against us. 

The battle against the accuser is in the mind and not in the physical.  The slanderer uses lies to cause our focus to shift away from the Truth of The Word.  We must not allow ourselves to focus on the lies spewed out by the adversary and his minions.  They must be discarded just as Jesus discarded the lies when He was tempted in the wilderness.

Wisdom wrote in Proverbs chapter 26:

20 It takes fuel to have a fire— a fire dies down when you run out of fuel. So quarrels disappear when the gossip ends.

21 Add fuel to the fire and the blaze goes on. So add an argumentative man to the mix and you’ll keep strife alive.

22 Gossip is so delicious, and how we love to swallow it! For slander is easily absorbed into our innermost being.

23 Smooth talk can hide a corrupt heart just like a pretty glaze covers a cheap clay pot.

24 Kind words can be a cover to conceal hatred of others, for hypocrisy loves to hide behind flattery.

25 So don’t be drawn in by the hypocrite, for his gracious speech is a charade, nothing but a masquerade covering his hatred and evil on parade.

26 Don’t worry—he can’t keep the mask on for long. One day his hypocrisy will be exposed before all the world.

27 Go ahead, set a trap for others— and then watch as it snaps back on you! Start a landslide and you’ll be the one who gets crushed.

28 Hatred is the root of slander and insecurity the root of flattery.

The adversary will use willing vessels to promote his agenda of hatred against all of mankind.  Every person has the potential to be used by FATHER to bring forth HIS Kingdom on earth.  With that being said, the adversary would like to remove anyone who challenges his worldly kingdom.

Because of the lies being spewed out on the airwaves, we must be vigilant in protecting our minds from anything in opposition to The Truth for The Truth will make us free and victorious in our walk.

The only power the adversary has is that resulting from deception.

How do you tempt a person who is perfect and without sin?  How do you tempt someone who has everything and has no understanding of death? 

You convince the person that he or she is missing something and tell the person that there is more than what is currently possessed.  You move the person toward a mindset of scarcity and lack.  It is the beginning of craving.

It is written by THE SPIRIT in Genesis chapter 3:

1 Now the serpent was more cunning than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said to the woman, “Has God indeed said, ‘You shall not eat of every tree of the garden’?”

The first thing the serpent did was to challenge FATHER’S Word which originates out of HIS Love for Adam and Eve.

2 And the woman said to the serpent, “We may eat the fruit of the trees of the garden; 3 but of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God has said, ‘You shall not eat it, nor shall you touch it, lest you die.’ ”

4 Then the serpent said to the woman, “You will not surely die.

5 For God knows that in the day you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.”

Eve had been walking with GOD and she could have easily posed the question to HIM yet she chose to listen to the deceiver. 

6 So when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree desirable to make one wise, she took of its fruit and ate. She also gave to her husband with her, and he ate. 7 Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together and made themselves coverings.

The pure of heart are designed to believe all things and that is why we must protect children from unrighteousness especially in their formative years from birth to seven.

The devil’s goal is to hinder what has already been done in the spiritual and keep man from bringing it into the physical realm.  He uses deception to get people to promote his agenda here on earth rather than implementing FATHER’S Divine Intent for their life.

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

9  You see, I wrote previously in order to see if your hearts would pass the test and if you were willing to follow my counsel in everything.

10 If you freely forgive anyone for anything, then I also forgive him. And if I have forgiven anything, I did so for you before the face of Christ,

11 so that we would not be ignorant and exploited by the adversary, Satan, for we know his clever schemes.

What are clever schemes?  They are deceptions to steer us away from the Truth.  The greatest deception is to move us away from Agape Love and Its revelation.

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Ephesians 6:

10  Now my beloved ones, I have saved these most important Truths for last: Be supernaturally infused with strength through your life-union with the Lord Jesus. Stand victorious with the force of his explosive power flowing in and through you.

11 Put on God’s complete set of armor provided for us, so that you will be protected as you fight against the evil strategies of the accuser!

The whole armor is already provided to us so we don’t have to pray for it, we must access what is already ours.  Paul clearly details this Truth in Ephesians chapter 6:

12 Your hand-to-hand combat is not with human beings, but with the highest principalities and authorities operating in rebellion under the heavenly realms. For they are a powerful class of demon-gods and evil spirits that hold this dark world in bondage. 13 Because of this, you must wear all the armor that God provides so you’re protected as you confront the slanderer, for you are destined for all things and will rise victorious.

14 Put on Truth as a belt to strengthen you to stand in triumph. Put on Holiness as the protective armor that covers your heart.

15 Stand on your feet alert, then you’ll always be ready to share the blessings of peace. 16 In every battle, take faith as your wrap-around shield, for it is able to extinguish the blazing arrows coming at you from the evil one!

17 Embrace the power of salvation’s full deliverance, like a helmet to protect your thoughts from lies. And take the mighty razor-sharp Spirit-sword of the spoken Word of God.

Yes, we are to confront the adversary and his minions in spiritual warfare.  We are destined for victory thus we are not to be intimidated by their deceptions for we stand on Truth.  FATHER has provided us the necessary tools for victory and it is vital that we access those tools on a daily basis.

We need to access the fruit of THE SPIRIT which has been placed inside us by FATHER!

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Galatians chapter 5:

22  But the fruit produced by the Holy Spirit within you is Divine Love in all Its varied expressions:

joy that overflows,

peace that subdues,

that endures,

kindness in action,

a life full of virtue,

faith that prevails,

gentleness of heart, and

strength of spirit.

Never set the law above these qualities, for they are meant to be limitless.

Faith is our response to what FATHER has already done by HIS grace.  We did not deserve to be saved neither did we deserve what has been deposited in us.  It is HIS gift of grace as a Loving FATHER.  This Truth is better understood as we get a greater revelation of HIS Love.

Faith is a fruit of THE SPIRIT given to us by FATHER… this is the measure of faith and we should expect it to produce unlimited resources.  Why?  It comes from the Spiritual realm and does not rely on our performance other than eliminating unbelief which counters faith’s operation in us.

The above fruit reflects the unlimited riches of HIS Glory on earth.

As Paul mentioned in the revelation given to him by Our Lord Jesus Christ when he wrote by The Holy Spirit in Ephesians chapter 3:

14 So I kneel humbly in awe before the Father of our Lord Jesus, the Messiah,

15 the Perfect Father of every father and child in heaven and on the earth.

16 And I pray that HE would unveil within you the unlimited riches of His glory and favor until supernatural strength floods your innermost being with His Divine might and explosive power.

FATHER’S power flows through us to manifest in the physical realm.  We have power and authority to rebuke the devil.  His only power is that of deception.

17 Then, by constantly using your faith, the Life of Christ will be released deep inside you, and the resting place of His Love will become the very Source and Root of your life.

The Life of Christ is our Source so let us keep this focus on a daily basis.  What will be the result?  Paul continues:

18-19 Then you will be empowered to discover what every Holy one experiences—the great magnitude of the astonishing Love of Christ in all Its dimensions. How deeply intimate and far-reaching is His Love! How enduring and inclusive It is! Endless Love beyond measurement that transcends our understanding—this extravagant Love pours into you until you are filled to overflowing with the fullness of God!

Gaining a greater revelation of FATHER’S Love is our ministry’s focus.  This is the key to full spiritual maturity.

20 Never doubt God’s mighty power to work in you and accomplish all this. He will achieve infinitely more than your greatest request, your most unbelievable dream, and exceed your wildest imagination! He will outdo them all, for his miraculous power constantly energizes you.

The only time Jesus prayed more than once for a person’s healing was due to the man living in unbelief.  He had to be removed from the environment of unbelief in order to receive his healing.

In Mark chapter 8, Jesus went to Bethsaida:

22 Then He came to Bethsaida; and they brought a blind man to Him, and begged Him to touch him. 23 So He took the blind man by the hand and led him out of the town. And when He had spit on his eyes and put His hands on him, He asked him if he saw anything.

24 And he looked up and said, “I see men like trees, walking.”

25 Then He put His hands on his eyes again and made him look up. And he was restored and saw everyone clearly. 26 Then He sent him away to his house, saying, “Neither go into the town, nor tell anyone in the town.”

For clarification of the issue of unbelief, Jesus spoke in Matthew chapter 11:

20  Then Jesus began to openly denounce the cities where he had done most of His mighty miracles, because the people failed to turn away from sin and return to God. [21] He said, “How tragic it will be for the city of Korazin! And how horrible for the city of Bethsaida! For if the powerful miracles that I performed in Korazin and Bethsaida had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have humbled themselves and repented, and turned from their sins.”

The people of Bethsaida were full of unbelief and this is why the blind man required additional attention by Jesus.  Once he began to see “men as trees”, his unbelief dissipated thus allowing Jesus to complete the healing.  Then, Jesus commanded him to not return to Bethsaida where unbelief prevailed.

Let not unbelief hinder our faith and keep the unlimited resources from manifesting.

A report from the teachers leading the effort:

We hit the ground running last week, and it’s been wild and crazy!

Backpacks & Barbecue was absolutely fantastic! We had a great turnout, and the families were so grateful! One of my favorite things was to see the teachers/Villagers sitting in the middle of families interacting and really getting to know them. It was wonderful. The kids were SO excited to come in and get to see teachers and get extra love and attention from them. 

We are going through our list to see which students have returned to Bethany this year and new kids that have moved in that could benefit from the program. We’ve also had several more teachers that are wanting to join. So we’re very excited about the upcoming school year and coming up with new ways we can support these kids and their families!

Mr. E brought the giftcards to us….THANK YOU! Several of our students already have needs that we have been able to meet!

Servias provided backpacks with contents, food, and gift cards to insure a successful event. Thank you!

You and I access the spirit realm through The Holy Spirit and The Word.

Jesus spoke in John 6:

63  The Holy Spirit is the One Who gives life, that which is of the natural realm is of no help. The Words I speak to you are Spirit and life. But there are still some of you who won’t believe.”

Wisdom and understanding must come from the Spiritual realm for us to appropriately deal with the challenges we currently face.  Man’s opinions are at best temporary solutions and frequently lead us down a path of death and destruction.

John wrote by The Holy Spirit in 1^st John chapter 4:

17 By living in God, Love has been brought to Its full expression in us so that we may fearlessly face the day of judgment, because all that Jesus now is, so are we in this world.

In our spirits, we have the same power, authority, faith, Love, and other fruit of The Spirit as Jesus.  Two things must happen.  First, we must realize that those gifts reside on the inside of us.  Secondly, we must get the revelation of how to access them and appropriate their use in our lives to walk victoriously. 

For example, we don’t need more faith, we need to walk in the measure of faith we have been given.

Jesus spoke in Matthew chapter 17:

14  They came to where a large crowd had gathered to wait for Jesus. A man came and knelt before Him

15 and said, “Lord, please show your tender mercy toward my son. He has a demon who afflicts him. He has epilepsy, and he suffers horribly from seizures. He often falls into the cooking fire or into the river.

16 I brought him to Your followers, but they weren’t able to heal him.”

17 Jesus replied, “Where is your faith? Can’t you see how wayward and wrong this generation is? How much longer do I stay with you and put up with your doubts? Bring your son to Me.”

18 Then Jesus rebuked the demon and it came out of him and the boy was instantly healed!

19 Later the disciples came to him privately and asked, “Why couldn’t we cast out the demon?”

20 He told them, “It was because of your lack of (pure) faith. I promise you, if you have faith inside of you no bigger than the size of a small mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move away from here and go over there,’ and you will see it move! There is nothing you couldn’t do!

21 But this kind of demon is cast out only through prayer and fasting.”

Jesus clarified the issue of faith even further in Mark chapter 11:

21  And Peter calling to remembrance saith unto Him, Master, behold, the fig tree which Thou cursed is withered away.

22 And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God.

23 For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.

Unbelief and doubt counteract faith.  The disciples had already been successful in healing sickness and disease but were intimidated when they saw the effects of epilepsy.  They were not prepared for such a sight and allowed themselves to react in their mind.  They had faith but it was impacted by their souls.  Eliminating the soulish response is addressed by prayer and fasting.  The Word will cleanse us of our soulishness as we immerse ourselves in It. 

This is one reason we were led to develop the RENEW app.  Immersion in the Scriptures will bring forth a cleansing effect.  It counteracts the world’s narrative that promotes soulishness.

If you spend more time feeding your soul and less time feeding your spirit, your measure of faith will not operate in its fullness.

You and I are a bridge between the Spiritual and the physical.  Jesus is “seated” and at rest.

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Ephesians chapter 1:

3  Every spiritual blessing in the Heavenly realm has already been lavished upon us as a Love gift from our wonderful Heavenly Father, the Father of our Lord Jesus—all because He sees us wrapped into Christ. This is why we celebrate Him with all our hearts!

FATHER imparted all the power and authority we need to walk not only in the same manner as Jesus walked but even in a greater manifestation.  Our spirit man is perfect and full of HIM but we need to bring that power and authority into the physical realm.  It is up to us to bridge the gap.

Jesus spoke in John 4:

14  “but if anyone drinks the living water I give them, they will never thirst again and will be forever satisfied! For when you drink the water I give you it becomes a gushing fountain of the Holy Spirit, springing up and flooding you with endless Life!”

Within us is endless Life and full of Spiritual blessings awaiting the release for others to drink.  John G. Lake of the early 1900’s had over 100,000 confirmed healings in his ministry and closed down a hospital in Spokane, Washington for a period of time.  Should we expect anything less?

Old Testament was based on performance.

New Testament is based on unconditional Love.

If you base your faith and expectation on the Old Testament, you will miss the point of Jesus’ atonement.  As an example, it took 21 days for Daniel to receive an answer but it did not take Jesus any time to heal people.  Jesus needs to be the center of our focus, not Old Testament examples which are based on performance.

I need to release this life on the inside of me.

Since The Holy Spirit is on the inside of me then fruit of The Spirit is already inside of me.

Our spirit is complete and perfected IN HIM.

We have no inadequacy.  Our minds must be renewed to fully access this Truth.

The Beloved Disciple wrote in 1^st  John 4:

17  By living in God, Love has been brought to Its full expression in us so that we may fearlessly face the day of judgment, because all that Jesus now is, so are we in this world.

And Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit 1^st Corinthians 6:

17 But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit.

Since we are “one” with Jesus, we must not let unbelief hinder our expectation of manifestation.  Some preachers have misled many in the past by promoting a message of unworthiness resulting in unbelief of what Paul wrote in Ephesians chapter 1: I can do all things through Christ Who strengthens me.

James reinforced the Truth when he wrote by The Holy Spirit in his epistle in chapter 1:

25  But those who set their gaze deeply into the perfecting law of liberty are fascinated by and respond to the Truth they hear and are strengthened by It—they experience God’s blessing in all that they do!

Faith is responding to what FATHER and Jesus has already done.

The physical realm does not fully reflect the spiritual realm because men are not fully led by THE SPIRIT.  As we gaze deeply into The Spirit and respond to the Truth, we will be strengthened and be the “bridge” we are intended to be.

It is time to receive the revelation of what has already done and been deposited in us by FATHER.  Why do you think HE and Jesus are “seated” and at rest?

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Ephesians chapter 1:

3 Every Spiritual blessing in the Heavenly realm has already been lavished upon us as a Love gift from our wonderful Heavenly Father, the Father of our Lord Jesus—all because He sees us wrapped into Christ. This is why we celebrate Him with all our hearts!

Are you walking in Spiritual blessing on a daily basis?  Instead, are you asking for Spiritual blessing to come forth?

Jesus spoke in John 6:

35  And Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life. He who comes to Me shall never hunger, and he who believes in Me shall never thirst.

Why did Jesus say “never”?

This is because we already have these Spiritual blessings within us once we are born again.  The victorious Son or Daughter is not seeking victory but is enforcing victory which has already been won by Christ Jesus.

The problem with focusing on the Old Testament versus the New Testament is that much of the Old Testament spoke of what FATHER was going to do whereas Paul is now sharing the direct revelation of what has been done by Jesus Christ by Hiis atonement.

Peter wrote by this revelation 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.

Are healing occurred when Jesus was raised from the dead and that Spiritual blessing resides on the inside of us now so we don’t need to ask FATHER to heal us, HE has already given us that Spiritual blessing as well as others which are required for our walk.

It is vital that we grasp this revelation.  We don’t need to keep asking for healing, prosperity, etc. when those blessings are already deposited in us.

Peter received this revelation when Jesus appeared to him and the other disciples after His resurrection when He taught them concerning the Kingdom of God for forty days.

How do we know?

It is written by The Holy Spirit in Acts chapter 3:

1 Now Peter and John went up together to the temple at the hour of prayer, the ninth hour.

2 And a certain man lame from his mother’s womb was carried, whom they laid daily at the gate of the temple which is called Beautiful, to ask alms from those who entered the temple;

3 who, seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple, asked for alms.

4 And fixing his eyes on him, with John, Peter said, “Look at us.”

5 So he gave them his attention, expecting to receive something from them.

They looked at the man and saw that he had faith to receive “something”.

6 Then Peter said, “Silver and gold I do not have, but what I do have I give you: In the Name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk.”

7 And he took him by the right hand and lifted him up, and immediately his feet and ankle bones received strength.

8 So he, leaping up, stood and walked and entered the temple with them—walking, leaping, and praising God.

9 And all the people saw him walking and praising God. 10 Then they knew that it was he who sat begging alms at the Beautiful Gate of the temple; and they were filled with wonder and amazement at what had happened to him.

Peter knew he already had Spiritual blessings which could be used to heal the man.  He didn’t pray asking FATHER to heal the man.  Instead, he drew on what was already deposited in him.

We need to walk in the fullness of this revelation.
