FATHER gives us HIS Spirit and we give HIM our bodies (flesh) so we become a Christian (Christ-like).

A Christian is the combination of GOD and you together and HIS Divine Intent for you to be led by HIS SPIRIT in all matters, not just a few.

Jesus didn’t send THE SPIRIT around to minister, He went because He was sent.

Luke wrote by The Holy Spirit in Luke chapter 4:

1   Then Jesus, being filled with the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness,

Jesus walked in the flesh and was led by THE SPIRIT to minister salvation and healing to all the world.  We are to do the same.  He is our Model.

Jesus spoke in John chapter 3:

17  “God did not send His Son into the world to judge and condemn the world, but to be its Savior and rescue it!

And the Beloved disciple recorded in John chapter 3:

34 “The One whom God has sent to represent HIM will speak the Words of God, for God has poured out upon Him the fullness of the Holy Spirit without limitation.

And in John chapter 4:

34 Then Jesus spoke up and said, “My food is to be doing the Will of HIM Who sent Me and bring it to completion.”

HE WHO is Love in action is living through you and me today.

Jesus spoke in John chapter 14:

8  Philip spoke up, “Lord, show us the Father, and that will be all that we need!”

9 Jesus replied, “Philip, I’ve been with you all this time and you still don’t know Who I am? How could you ask Me to show you the Father, for anyone who has looked at Me has seen the Father.

10 Don’t you believe that the Father is living in Me and that I am living in The Father? Even my Words are not My own but come from My Father, for HE lives in me and performs HIS miracles of power through Me.

11 Believe that I live as One with My Father and that My Father lives as One with Me—or at least, believe because of the mighty miracles I have done.

The greatest revelation throughout history is that Jesus showed us Our Heavenly Father in the flesh!  We are GOD’S offspring so we should live in the same manner.  These teachings are to lead us into the fullness of that revelation.

Religion wants to control us and keep us from this revelation.  They want us to submit to their agendas and use up our resources at the same time.  In the meantime, the poor are starving while they build another building and expound their costly doctrines through the media.  Their doctrines healed no one during the pandemic.  They shut their doors and cowered down to the disease rather than do what Jesus did… heal the sick! 

The “church” failed in its mission to mature the saints so that they could rise up and confront the “disease of the week”.

My focus is to walk as Jesus walked so that people will see Jesus in me and that He will get all the credit for the ministry given to me to accomplish on this earth.  How about you?

What we have, the whole world wants and needs!

No Muslim can heal a leper.  No Buddhist can restore sight to the blind.  No New Ager can heal the sick.  GOD’S priority is healing people in all areas of their lives.

Inferiority comes from lack of knowledge of The Word.  Without seed, you won’t reap a harvest.  It is vital for us to understand Psalm 139:16 and embrace the Truth contained therein:

Psalm 139:16 TPT

You saw who you created me to be before I became me! Before I’d ever seen the light of day, the number of days YOU planned for me were already recorded in YOUR Book.

Psalm 139:16 NKJV

Your Eyes saw my substance, being yet unformed. And in Your Book they all were written, The days fashioned for me, When as yet there were none of them.

It doesn’t matter which version you read, the same meaning is there!

Jesus gave us the same power that The Father gave Him… for even greater works.  It is a matter of us accepting and embracing this Truth.  Jesus is our model both to follow and inspire us.

We will respond to Jesus or to those voices in the world. Which will determine our path in life?  Do we respond to the permanent or the temporary?  The early church imitated Christ but what about today?  Is His ministry still applicable in this world?

Are only certain people vessels of GOD?  Absolutely not!  To whom did GOD entrust HIS miracle power?  To you and me!

What makes you and me credible and believable?  What proof can we offer that Jesus is alive?  Do Christian rituals (ceremonies) without miracles have life-changing power?  If we don’t share Jesus Christ, is it because we really don’t believe in Him?  We share everything we believe in!

Can you tell me one thing Jesus Christ can do in your community without a body to do it in?

Can The Holy Spirit do GOD’S work without us?

Can we send angels to minister in our place?  No!  Paul couldn’t and neither can we.  Can angels do the work that Jesus commissioned us to do?  Again, no!

In a previous writing I asked, how big can possible be in you?  He will be no bigger in any community than He is in you.

Jesus spoke in John chapter 5:

19   Then Jesus answered and said to them, “Most assuredly, I say to you, the Son can do nothing of Himself, but what He sees the Father do; for whatever He does, the Son also does in like manner.

20 For the Father Loves the Son, and shows Him all things that He Himself does; and He will show Him greater works than these, that you may marvel.

21 For as the Father raises the dead and gives life to them, even so the Son gives life to whom He will.

We are Sons too!

And in chapter 15:

5  “I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing.

6 If anyone does not abide in Me, he is cast out as a branch and is withered; and they gather them and throw them into the fire, and they are burned.

7 If you abide in Me, and My Words abide in you, you will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you.

8 By this My Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit; so you will be My disciples.

A fruitful life is attained by Jesus working through us that we may glorify Our Heavenly Father.  Without Him, we are nothing.

Seed power is the ultimate power. Do you believe in seed?

The seed will only produce after its own kind.  If you plant wheat seeds, you will harvest wheat.  Seed is actually prophetic for it sets a true expectation.

The Word which is supernatural seed, is what you and I are to plant as we go forth.  If we plant Love, ultimately we will harvest Love.  If we plant unity, unity will come forth.

Does a farmer only plant one crop and then quit?  No, he continues the planting and harvesting cycle so that his storehouse is never empty.

The worst disease a person can have is that of a surrendered will, an emptied life of neutrality without focus, without commitment to do something.

Say yes to GOD’S best for that is what glorifies HIM in your life.  Our mission is to serve GOD by serving people and it all begins with Love.  You and I are accountable for what we are called to do and say on HIS behalf.

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.

7 And from now on you will realize that you have seen HIM and experienced HIM.”

15  “Loving Me empowers you to obey My commands.”

These Words are crucial to our understanding of who we are in Christ.  Why spend effort trying to determine the times and the seasons when you should focus on Jesus, Loving Him, and doing His commands?  Why focus on numerology in Scripture when we should focus on the Great Mathematician Himself?

We must place our complete dependence on Christ in us.  Without Him, I can do nothing!  If it were not for Him, I would have died in 1984 from a life-threatening disease.  Four other times, He delivered me from death so no one can convince me to follow anyone else. 

Jesus is alive in me and continues to sustain me as I fulfill my calling given to me before I was formed in the womb.  I testify to all that will listen!  Yes, there are those who discount my testimony because they are protecting their mindset.  However, I will continue to plant seed into the hearts of those who are willing to embrace Reality.

Once you come to the realization that your spirit is perfect and that you have the required resources deposited in you, you can be assured that you have been sent from God to minister to whomever.  You are HIS messenger in the same way that Paul, Peter, John, and others were sent by HIM. 

Don’t discount what I am writing to you!  Don’t allow the adversary to convince you of anything less for he knows that when you embrace these Truths, his impact will diminish in your life as well as those you touch.

Jesus spoke in John chapter 4:

34  Then Jesus spoke up and said, “My food is to be doing the Will of Him Who sent Me and bring it to completion.”

35 As the crowds emerged from the village, Jesus said to His disciples, “Why would you say, ‘The harvest is another four months away’? Look at all the people coming—now is harvest time! For their hearts are like vast fields of ripened grain—ready for a spiritual harvest.

36 And everyone who reaps these souls for eternal life will receive a reward. And those who plant spiritual seeds and those who reap the harvest will celebrate together with great joy!

37 And this confirms the saying, ‘One sows the seed and another reaps the harvest.’

38 I have sent you out to harvest a field that you haven’t planted, where many others have labored long and hard before you. And now you are privileged to profit from their labors and reap the harvest.”

Believe Who is in you when you touch people!

You and I have the same ministry as Jesus did.

Matthew wrote by The Holy Spirit in chapter 4:

23  Jesus ministered from place to place throughout all of the province of Galilee. He taught in the synagogues, preaching the hope of the Kingdom realm and healing every kind of sickness and disease among the people.

24 His fame spread everywhere! Many people who were in pain and suffering with every kind of illness were brought to Jesus for their healing—epileptics, paralytics, and those tormented by demonic powers were all set free. Everyone who was brought to Jesus was healed!

Multitudes will follow us when we heal them by the Name of Jesus.  We don’t preach a philosophy or a religion, we preach a reality that must be confirmed by signs and wonders.  This Truth is why Jesus’ fame spread everywhere and the Kingdom of God began to spread throughout the country.

Jesus spoke in John chapter 17:

17  “Your Word is Truth! So make them Holy by the Truth.

18 I have commissioned them to represent Me just as You commissioned me to represent You.

19 And now I dedicate Myself to them as a Holy Sacrifice so that they will live as fully dedicated to God and be made Holy by Your Truth.”

Jesus made us Holy and we have been commissioned to be sent to this lost world on His behalf.  Jesus came and showed us how to do it!

Jesus came to show us GOD.  He came also to show us, US!

Once we were born again, our spirits became perfect and complete.  Once that occurred, our mission is to renew our minds so that we can represent Jesus to the world.  As we do, our bodies will respond to The Word.

20  “And I ask not only for these disciples, but also for all those who will one day believe in Me through their message.

You and I are included in this prayer!

21 I pray for them all to be joined together as one even as You and I, Father, are joined together as One. I pray for them to become One with Us so that the world will recognize that You sent Me.

22 For the very glory You have given to Me I have given them so that they will be joined together as one and experience the same unity that We enjoy.

23 You live fully in Me and now I live fully in them so that they will experience perfect unity, and the world will be convinced that You have sent Me, for they will see that You Love each one of them with the same passionate Love that You have for Me.

It is vital that we believe these Words of Jesus!

Matthew wrote by The Holy Spirit in chapter 28:

18  Then Jesus came close to them and said, “All the authority of the universe has been given to Me.

19 Now go in My authority and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

20 And teach them to faithfully follow all that I have commanded you. And never forget that I am with you every day, even to the completion of this age.”

Do you believe that GOD is in you as HE was in Jesus while He walked the earth?  We are to rely on that reality as we go forth.

As Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Colossians chapter 1:

27 Living within you is the Christ who floods you with the expectation of glory! This mystery of Christ, embedded within us, becomes a Heavenly treasure chest of hope filled with the riches of glory for his people, and God wants everyone to know it!

What is the highest degree of reality?  It is when history and experience come together!

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.

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.

11 Now as the lame man who was healed held on to Peter and John, all the people ran together to them in the porch which is called Solomon’s, greatly amazed.

Peter and John finally understood the ministry of Jesus after their forty-day class with Him.  No longer were animal sacrifices required.  No longer was the altar needed for the remission of sins.  Jesus eliminated all of the implements previously required.  It was time for the people to see the results of Jesus’ ministry after His resurrection.

12 So when Peter saw it, he responded to the people: “Men of Israel, why do you marvel at this? Or why look so intently at us, as though by our own power or godliness we had made this man walk?

13 The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, the God of our fathers, glorified His Servant Jesus, whom you delivered up and denied in the presence of Pilate, when he was determined to let Him go.

14 But you denied the Holy One and the Just, and asked for a murderer to be granted to you,

15 and killed the Prince of life, whom God raised from the dead, of which we are witnesses.

16 And His Name, through faith in His name, has made this man strong, whom you see and know. Yes, the faith which comes through Him has given him this perfect soundness in the presence of you all.

Peter finally had the revelation of Christ’s resurrection as well as the power and authority of His Name.  It wasn’t Peter that healed the man, it was Jesus working in Peter.

17 “Yet now, brethren, I know that you did it in ignorance, as did also your rulers. 18 But those things which God foretold by the mouth of all His prophets, that the Christ would suffer, He has thus fulfilled.

This is what Jesus taught the disciples during those forty days and Peter went on to communicate this revelation:

19 Repent therefore and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, so that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord,

20 and that He may send Jesus Christ, who was preached to you before,

21 whom Heaven must receive until the times of restoration of all things, which God has spoken by the mouth of all His Holy prophets since the world began.

Before Jesus gave the disciples the revelation of The Kingdom, they did not see the full understanding of what the Holy prophets were pointing to in their messages.

22 For Moses truly said to the fathers, ‘The LORD your God will raise up for you a Prophet like me from your brethren. Him you shall hear in all things, whatever He says to you.

23 And it shall be that every soul who will not hear that Prophet shall be utterly destroyed from among the people.’

24 Yes, and all the prophets, from Samuel and those who follow, as many as have spoken, have also foretold these days.

25 You are sons of the prophets, and of the covenant which God made with our fathers, saying to Abraham, ‘And in your seed all the families of the earth shall be blessed.’

26 To you first, God, having raised up His Servant Jesus, sent Him to bless you, in turning away every one of you from your iniquities.”

Peter and John spent 3 ½ years with Jesus but did not understand The Plan until their eyes were opened during the final forty days of ministry before Jesus ascended.  You and I have the benefit of not only the revealing of Jesus in The Gospels, but also the deeper revelation given to Paul.

Let Jesus work in us and through us in a greater manner this year!  Let history and experience come together through you and me.

The resurrection gives us tangible proof that Christianity is true Life versus another religion or philosophy!

It is written by The Holy Spirit in Acts chapter 1:

1  The former account I made, O Theophilus, of all that Jesus began both to do and teach,

2 until the day in which He was taken up, after He through the Holy Spirit had given commandments to the apostles whom He had chosen,

3 to whom He also presented Himself alive after His suffering by many infallible proofs, being seen by them during forty days and speaking of the things pertaining to the Kingdom of God.

What was the purpose of Jesus teaching the apostles for forty days after His resurrection?  Jesus had to present the revelation of the cross and resurrection because the disciples’ mindset needed to be changed.  They were no longer to be under the Old Covenant and its sacrifices. 

Before the cross, GOD was with us.  After the resurrection, GOD could and would operate in us.  Jesus told them to wait for the Promise of The FATHER… The Holy Spirit.

Jesus had spoken to them concerning The Holy Spirit in John chapter 14:

15  “Loving me empowers you to obey My commands.

16-17  And I will ask the Father and He will give you another Savior, the Holy Spirit of Truth, who will be to you a friend just like me—and He will never leave you. The world won’t receive Him because they can’t see Him or know Him. But you will know Him intimately, because He will make His home in you and will live inside you.

Until Jesus fulfilled our sin issue once and for all, The Holy Spirit could not live inside us for we were unrighteous.  Righteousness could not reside with unrighteousness.

Paul wrote of this revelation by The Holy Spirit in Romans chapter 6:

5   For if we have been united together in the likeness of His death, certainly we also shall be in the likeness of His resurrection,

6 knowing this, that our old man was crucified with Him, that the body of sin might be done away with, that we should no longer be slaves of sin.

7 For he who has died has been freed from sin.

8 Now if we died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with Him,

9 knowing that Christ, having been raised from the dead, dies no more. Death no longer has dominion over Him.

10 For the death that He died, He died to sin once for all; but the life that He lives, He lives to God.

11 Likewise you also, reckon yourselves to be dead indeed to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus our Lord.

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

17  Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.

18 Now all things are of God, who has reconciled us to Himself through Jesus Christ, and has given us the ministry of reconciliation,

19 that is, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not imputing their trespasses to them, and has committed to us the Word of reconciliation.

In other words, it was through Jesus, the Anointed One, that God was shepherding the world, not even keeping records of their transgressions, and He has entrusted to us the ministry of opening the door of reconciliation to God.

It was vital the disciples understood the transition from the Old Covenant to the New.  Their mindset had to be changed so they could teach this new revelation that when salvation came, the old man passed away and behold all things have become new.  Our spirits are now perfect and have been given Spiritual deposits to draw from within. (Ephesians 1). 

Jesus spent forty days instructing them of this major revelation.

Is GOD limited by living in you?

With HIS power and virtue in us, our possibilities are unlimited!  He transferred His Life and power to us.

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.

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.

Christianity is not only historical but It is experiential.  There are two kinds of reality: the reality of history and the reality of experience.  The highest degree of certainty is when the reality of history becomes the reality of experience.  If we don’t experience Jesus ourselves, we simply become boring philosophers.

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

1   One afternoon Peter and John went to the temple for the three o’clock prayer.

2  As 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.

3 When he noticed Peter and John going into the temple, he begged them for money.

4 Peter and John, looking straight into the eyes of the crippled man, said, “Look at us!”

5 Expecting 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.

9 When 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.

Can you see yourself praying for those who are sick?  If not, start visualizing (or imagining) yourself doing so.  That produces hope.  Next, reread past blogs such as “Healing is for all” parts 1 – 16.  This will produce faith in The Word.  It is vital that you understand that Jesus is the One Who heals, not you.  You and I are simply His hands and voice just as Peter and John were in the above passage.

The Word is the Seed that must be heard by those who are sick so that faith can come forth in them to be healed.  The Word is the Key and Jesus is the Word made flesh.

What happens if the person does not receive?  Don’t be discouraged, Jesus could not heal everyone either.  Simply keep pressing in!

Christianity differs from religions and philosophies because It has proof of Its value to mankind.

Religion wants power, the Remnant focuses on Love!  Power without Love can be cruel.  Don’t focus on faith at the expense of Love and hope.  Love went to the cross so we could live.  And because It did, we now live by the proof of Its reality.

Hope is the “picture” by which faith is exercised and possesses it.  Love is the motivation by which a righteous picture is formed in the first place.   FATHER thought it, then HE saw it in the SPIRIT, and then it manifested by HIS faith.

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in 1^st Corinthians chapter 15:

14   And if Christ has not been raised, all of our preaching has been for nothing and your faith is useless.

15 Moreover, if the dead are not raised, that would mean that we are false witnesses who are misrepresenting God. And that would mean that we have preached a lie, stating that God raised Him from the dead, if in reality He didn’t.

16 If the dead aren’t raised up, that would mean that Christ has not been raised up either.

17 And if Christ is not alive, you are still lost in your sins and your faith is a fantasy.

Since I have had five near-death experiences, I know with certainty that Jesus Christ is My Lord and Savior.  FATHER has pulled me away from death and has reassured me that I will live and not die.  I don’t live a life of theory or philosophy but one of Truth and reality.  This is why I can write being moved by The Holy Spirit.  Paul understood this reality and could even write from the depths of prison, knowing Who Jesus is IN HIM.

18 It would also mean that those believers in Christ who have passed away have simply perished.

19 If the only benefit of our hope in Christ is limited to this life on earth, we deserve to be pitied more than all others!

20 But the Truth is, Christ is risen from the dead, as the firstfruit of a great resurrection harvest of those who have died.

21 For since death came through a man, Adam, it is fitting that the resurrection of the dead has also come through a man, Christ.

22 Even as all who are in Adam die, so also all who are in Christ will be made alive.

23 But each one in his proper order: Christ, the firstfruits, then those who belong to Christ in His Presence.

24 Then the final stage of completion comes, when He will bring to an end every other rulership, authority, and power, and he will hand over His Kingdom to Father God.

25 Until then He is destined to reign as King until all hostility has been subdued and placed under His Feet.

26 And the last enemy to be subdued and eliminated is death itself.

27 The Father has placed all things in subjection under the Feet of Christ. Yet when it says, “all things,” it is understood that the Father does not include Himself, for He is the One Who placed all things in subjection to Christ.

28 However, when everything is subdued and in submission to Him, then the Son Himself will be subject to the Father, Who put all things under His Feet. This is so that Father God will be everything in everyone!

Once Paul had his personal encounter with Jesus, he was no longer an enemy of Christ but was a vessel of honor who was called to the lost of the world.

Matthew recorded by The Holy Spirit in chapter 27:

51  At that moment the veil in the Holy of Holies was torn in two from the top to the bottom. The earth shook violently, rocks were split apart,

52 and graves were opened. Then many of the Holy ones who had died were brought back to life and came out of their graves.

53 And after Jesus’ resurrection, they were plainly seen by many people walking in Jerusalem.

There were sufficient eye-witness accounts of what happened when Jesus was resurrected from the dead.  The Pharisees could spread disinformation but to no avail for it was too late!

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Colossians chapter 1:

27 Living within you is the Christ Who floods you with the expectation of glory! This mystery of Christ, embedded within us, becomes a Heavenly treasure chest of hope filled with the riches of glory for His people, and God wants everyone to know it!

Paul and the other apostles had personal testimonies of the resurrection of Christ.  Those testimonies have continued throughout history, including my own.  I have no interest in religious philosophies or opinions.  Reality is what will change the mindset of the lost.

Christianity is Love in action around the world.

GOD’S Love is irresistible.

Jesus spoke in John chapter 15:

14  “You show that you are My intimate friends when you obey all that I command you.

15 I have never called you ‘servants,’ because a master doesn’t confide in his servants, and servants don’t always understand what the master is doing. But I call you My most intimate friends, for I reveal to you everything that I’ve heard from My Father.

16 You didn’t choose Me, but I’ve chosen and commissioned you to go into the world to bear fruit. And your fruit will last, because whatever you ask of My Father, for My sake, He will give it to you!

17 So this is My parting command: Love one another deeply!”

Our best is GOD’S best!  HE believes in you and me and this is why HE operates through us to save the lost.

The Gospel is that of redemption for all mankind.

It is committed to our trust.

It is for all nations.

What is GOD’S Will?  To answer that question, ask the following about any idea that FATHER gives you:

Is the idea good for GOD?

Is the idea good for people?

Is the idea good for you?

Love is greater than faith thus the fruit associated with Agape Love is greater and more lasting than that associated with faith alone.

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

13  And now abide faith, hope, Love, these three; but the greatest of these is Love.

Consider with this Truth what James wrote by The Holy Spirit in chapter 2 of his epistle:

14   My dear brothers and sisters, what good is it if someone claims to have faith but demonstrates no good works to prove it? How could this kind of faith save anyone?

15 For example, if a brother or sister in the faith is poorly clothed and hungry

16 and you leave them saying, “Good-bye. I hope you stay warm and have plenty to eat,” but you don’t provide them with a coat or even a cup of soup, what good is your faith?

17 So then faith that doesn’t involve action is phony.

18 But someone might object and say, “One person has faith and another person has works.” Go ahead then and prove to me that you have faith without works and I will show you faith by my works as proof that I believe.

The year 2023 is to be a year of Love in action.  You are never too old or too young to take on what FATHER is directing you to pursue.  HE will equip you for whatever HE has revealed to you.  If faith without works is dead, then could we also say that Love without works is also dead (or phony)?
