The Kingdom of GOD is at hand! The tomb is empty and Jesus is on The Throne next to FATHER. The Scripture is 100% accurate no matter how the adversary’s vessels would try to convince us otherwise.

The separation is happening and is full swing: the sheep vs. the goats, wheat vs. tares, wise virgins vs. unwise virgins.  This is to be expected.

Reverence FATHER in THE FEAR OF THE LORD and walk in Love.  Expect signs and wonders to follow! Expect angel visitations for their mission is to assist in you completing your Divine destiny. Expect to be challenged, you will be. Walk in the authority given from Above.

Reread Ephesians chapter 1 and Colossians chapter 1. John chapters 14-17.

Now is the time!

As Paul wrote that which was given directly to him by Our Lord Jesus Christ in Romans chapter 8:

1 So now the case is closed. There remains no accusing voice of condemnation against those who are joined in Life-union with Jesus, the Anointed One.

2 For the “law” of the Spirit of life flowing through the anointing of Jesus has liberated us from the “law” of sin and death.

3 For God achieved what the law was unable to accomplish, because the law was limited by the weakness of human nature. Yet God sent us His Son in human form to identify with human weakness. Clothed with humanity, God’s Son gave His body to be the sin-offering so that God could once and for all condemn the guilt and power of sin.

4 So now every righteous requirement of the law can be fulfilled through the Anointed One living His Life in us. And we are free to live, not according to our flesh, but by the dynamic power of the Holy Spirit!

These Truths are what Jesus taught for forty days after His resurrection… then He ascended.

From the teacher:

We have a student that is raised by his grandmother. She is very involved and supportive, but money gets tight. Yesterday, she was able to contact her grandson’s villager for help with his birthday. With very little notice, our villager was able to run to Crest to get him cupcakes for his whole class to celebrate him. We are so happy to help families that need a little extra support!!

FATHER celebrates our birth since HE was the One Who placed us in the womb to be born at a specific time with a specific calling.

It is written by THE SPIRIT in Psalm 139:

16 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.

The Beloved Disciple wrote by The Holy Spirit in John chapter 13:

34 A new commandment I give to you, that you Love one another; as I have Loved you, that you also Love one another.

35 By this all will know that you are My disciples, if you have Love for one another.”

FATHER keeps track of our actions of Love for the children and HE is pleased with our acts of Love, no matter where these kids live.

We directed the teachers and counselors to hand out food gift cards yesterday so that all those families could have a reasonable meal to celebrate Resurrection Day. Let no child go to bed hungry!

Thank you for your obedience to support those in need! Jesus’ Love language is obedience to His Word.

From the Grade School Principal:

I want to use this email to tell another story about the Village. We had two new families move into our district in a home designed to help families after addiction or incarceration. One of the students was asking the teacher how cold it was supposed to be that night because they didn’t have blankets yet. The teacher was able to take the Target gift card and buy blankets for the whole family. It’s times like these we really appreciate having that instant resource to take care of needs immediately.  Both families are now in the Village and we are giving them great support to welcome them into our school.  Thanks again.

Today is Maundy Thursday!

What Does Maundy Thursday Mean?

Christ’s “mandate” is commemorated on Maundy Thursday—“maundy” being a shortened form of mandatum (Latin), which means “command.”  It was on the Thursday of Christ’s final week before being crucified and resurrected that He said this commandment to His disciples. Jesus and His disciples had just shared what was known as the Last Supper and He was washing their feet when He stated:

“A new commandment I give to you, that you Love one another: just as I have Loved you, you also are to Love one another” (John 13:34).

What Was the New Commandment Given on Maundy Thursday?

Well, for one thing, it raised the definition of Love to a new and higher standard. Jesus sacrificially met His followers’ deepest need—that of new spiritual life and the forgiveness of sins. He even Loved His enemies, and He calls us to show Love to those who don’t appear to deserve it. Just as Jesus Loved sinners “to the end” (or “to the max” John 13:1) when He had nothing to gain from them, so must we. The Bible says that there was nothing attractive about sinful mankind that drew Him to Love us. God Loved us while we were yet sinners (Romans 5:8). Salvation is not only a wonderful gift that protects us from the penalty that we deserve Romans 6:23, the work of Christ also imbues new life, grants spiritual strength, and motivates Godly action in those who believe:

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Titus chapter 2:

11  God’s marvelous grace has manifested in Person, bringing salvation for everyone.

12 This same grace teaches us how to live each day as we turn our backs on ungodliness and indulgent lifestyles, and it equips us to live self-controlled, upright, Godly lives in this present age.

13 For we continue to wait for the fulfillment of our hope in the dawning splendor of the glory of our great God and Savior, Jesus, the Anointed One.

14 He sacrificed Himself for us that He might purchase our freedom from every lawless deed and to purify for Himself a people who are His very own, passionate to do what is beautiful in His Eyes.

Are we observing Christ’s new command to Love—especially those who deserve it least?

The Beloved Disciple wrote by The Holy Spirit in John chapter 4:7-8

“Beloved, let us Love one another. For Love is from God, and whoever Loves has been born of God and knows God. Anyone who does not Love does not know God, because God is Love.”

Many churches observe Maundy Thursday with a Communion service and a foot-washing ceremony. These traditions help Christians reflect on the sacrifice of Jesus and His commandment for us to Love and serve others.

What Does Communion Have to Do with Maundy Thursday?

Often, during communion, a pastor will read the following passage about what happened on the events of Maundy Thursday:

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in 1^st  Corinthians chapter 11:23-26:

“For I received from the Lord what I also passed on to you: The Lord Jesus, on the night he was betrayed, took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and said, “This is My Body, which is for you; do this in remembrance of Me.” In the same way, after supper he took the cup, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in My Blood; do this, whenever you drink it, in remembrance of Me.” For whenever you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until He comes.”

Every time we participate in communion, we recognize what happened during the events of Maundy Thursday. That our Lord Jesus was betrayed, to be tried and crucified the next day on Good Friday.

If anyone wants me to send them the PDF copy of the book “I Am Love”, email me at unity153@gmail.com.  There is no cost.  I freely give for I have freely received.

I can attest to the accuracy of what was conveyed in this interview. I wrote my first program in 1971 and have written over 1 million lines of source code since. I only mention this background to provide a credible witness to what can be done by a programmer which would remain a mystery to the end-user. I personally do not trust technology, especially smart phones… Just sayin’.

The interview has technical jargon that the average person will not understand, but don’t let that keep you from seeing the big picture.

Challenging times will build up your Love, faith, and hope!

James wrote by The Holy Spirit in his Epistle, chapter 1:

2   My fellow believers, when it seems as though you are facing nothing but difficulties, see it as an invaluable opportunity to experience the greatest joy that you can!

3 For you know that when your faith is tested it stirs up in you the power of endurance.

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.

Difficulties are a part of life and you can either embrace them or try to run from them.  As we seek FATHER’S direction, we will receive the answer to navigate through such difficulties and our response will turn into joy.  Overcoming obstacles will bring us to a higher level of gratefulness in our lives.  We will be stronger in our faith and realize that we can overcome those challenges placed before us to hinder our growth in THE LORD.

5 And if anyone longs to be wise, ask God for Wisdom and He will give it! He won’t see your lack of Wisdom as an opportunity to scold you over your failures, but He will overwhelm your failures with His generous grace.

Failures are meant to be learning situations promoting growth in your faith and hope.

6 Just make sure you ask empowered by confident faith without doubting that you will receive. For the ambivalent person believes one minute and doubts the next. Being undecided makes you become like the rough seas driven and tossed by the wind. You’re up one minute and tossed down the next.

7-8 When you are half-hearted and wavering it leaves you unstable. Can you really expect to receive anything from the Lord when you’re in that condition?

If you doubt that FATHER will deliver you, then you need to spend more time in THE WORD and cleanse yourself of those doubts.  Your mind needs renewed so that you will truly trust FATHER’S promises to you.

9 The believer who is poor still has reasons to boast, for he has been placed on high.

10 But those who are rich should boast in how God has brought them low and humbled them, for all their earthly glory will one day fade away like a wildflower in the meadow.

11 For as the scorching heat of the sun causes the petals of the wildflower to fall off and lose its appearance of beauty, so the rich in the midst of their pursuit of wealth will wither away.

If you are “rich”, you should pursue the poor and help them in time of their need.  Jesus was and is rich in all areas, yet He came and pursued the poor as well as those in need of healing.  The rich young ruler did not understand this Truth.

12 If your faith remains strong, even while surrounded by life’s difficulties, you will continue to experience the untold blessings of God! True happiness comes as you pass the test with faith, and receive the victorious crown of life promised to every Lover of God!

Be strong and courageous as you face the challenges of life.

18 God was delighted to give us birth by the Truth of His infallible Word so that we would fulfill His chosen destiny for us and become the favorite ones out of all His creation!

You and I were chosen and given a destiny before HE placed us in the womb.  HE wants us to fulfill that destiny but it is our choice.  Choose HIM and not the world.

19 My dearest brothers and sisters, take this to heart: Be quick to listen, but slow to speak. And be slow to become angry,

20 for human anger is never a legitimate tool to promote God’s righteous purpose. 21 So this is why we abandon everything morally impure and all forms of wicked conduct. Instead, with a sensitive spirit we absorb God’s Word, which has been implanted within our nature, for the Word of Life has power to continually deliver us.

22 Don’t just listen to the Word of Truth and not respond to it, for that is the essence of self-deception. So always let his Word become like poetry written and fulfilled by your life!

Self-deception keeps us from changing.  If you don’t think you have any deception whatsoever, then you are deceived.  This is why we must continue to cleanse ourselves with The Word.

23 If you listen to the Word and don’t live out the message you hear, you become like the person who looks in the mirror of the Word to discover the reflection of his face in the beginning.

24 You perceive how God sees you in the mirror of the Word, but then you go out and forget your Divine origin.

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!

The Truth strengthens us in facing the adversary and his minions.  Jesus expressed the full Truth when tempted by partial truths.  When we know The Word, we can stand on Truth and not be knocked off course by deception.

26 If someone believes they have a relationship with God but fails to guard his words then his heart is drifting away and his religion is shallow and empty.

FATHER treats Words as critically important, so should we!  Say what you mean, mean what you say.

27 True spirituality that is pure in the Eyes of our Father God is to make a difference in the lives of the orphans, and widows in their troubles, and to refuse to be corrupted by the world’s values.

When you and I give to those in need, our spirituality is pure in the Eyes of FATHER and HE is pleased with our actions and commitment to others.

FATHER has revealed to us HIS expectation of our walk as mature Sons and Daughters in Love and Unity!

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Ephesians chapter 4:

11  And Jesus has appointed some with grace to be apostles, and some with grace to be prophets, and some with grace to be evangelists, and some with grace to be pastors, and some with grace to be teachers.

12 And their calling is to nurture and prepare all the Holy believers to do their own works of ministry, and as they do this they will enlarge and build up the body of Christ.

Most churches have not emphasized the true mission of the five-fold ministry.  It is to bring us to full maturity so that we become effective in our individual callings!  Shouldn’t this mandate be emphasized in every service to those who are in attendance?  What should be the end result?  The fullness of Love and Unity!!!

13 These grace ministries will function until we all attain oneness into the faith, until we all experience the fullness of what it means to know the Son of God, and finally we become one into a perfect man with the full dimensions of spiritual maturity and fully developed into the abundance of Christ.

In other Words:

[13 till we all come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ;

14 And then our immaturity will end! And we will not be easily shaken by trouble, nor led astray by novel teachings or by the false doctrines of deceivers who teach clever lies.

15 But instead we will remain strong and always sincere in our Love as we express the Truth. All our direction and ministries will flow from Christ and lead us deeper into Him, the anointed Head of His body, the church.

16 For His “Body” has been formed in His Image and is closely joined together and constantly connected as one. And every member has been given Divine gifts to contribute to the growth of all; and as these gifts operate effectively throughout the whole body, we are built up and made perfect in Love.

Exactly 30 years ago, I went on a missionary trip to Romania.  FATHER told me to go on the three-week trip with five others from the church:  the pastor and his wife, an auto finance manager, Jerry (retired head of the Oklahoma Highway Patrol), and Bend (an auto mechanic).  Romania was the essence of a third world country where the average worker’s pay was equivalent to $25, rent averaged $19, and the remainder was for everything else.  The pastor’s contact lived in Aiud, the home of the Aiud Prison a prison complex in Aiud, Alba County, located in central Transylvania, Romania. It is infamous for the treatment of its political inmates.  You get the picture.

We split into two teams where Jerry, Ben, and I were on a team together.  Each morning, the three of us prayed together to seek FATHER to see which one of us was to preach that night so that the message could be prepared.  We were all in full unity and we truly Loved the Romanian people.  Everyone showed up for our meetings in the small towns since there was nothing else going on.  No TV, no Internet, no entertainment.  They were skeptical of us as expected. 

Each night, one of us would get a Word of knowledge concerning an ailment of someone in the meeting.  That person would come up and we would lay hands on the person.  The anointing came forth and FATHER healed the person who typically screamed in Romanian “I’ve been healed”.  Once that happened, everyone came up for healing and salvation.  This would go on for hours.  Blind eyes were opened, ears were opened among many other miracles.  The anointing was on us for all three weeks.  When we returned to the U.S., it subsided as the three of us were not asked to minister back in our home church.  You can draw your own conclusions.

Love, unity, and The Fear of THE LORD were central to the three of us.

FATHER has revealed to us HIS expectation of our walk as mature Sons and Daughters when we have drawn near to Him and now walk in the Fear of THE LORD!

The Beloved Disciple wrote to us 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.

18 Love never brings fear, for fear is always related to punishment. But Love’s perfection drives the fear of punishment far from our hearts. Whoever walks constantly afraid of punishment has not reached Love’s perfection.

19 Our Love for others is our grateful response to the Love God first demonstrated to us.

FATHER sent Jesus to us so that we would have a clear path to dwell in HIS Presence.  Let us all respond and move into that intimacy HE desires as Our Heavenly FATHER!  As we do, we will do those greater works Jesus referred to when He was nearing the end of His mission on earth.

Isaiah described Jesus and us as mature Sons and Daughter when he recorded by THE SPIRIT in chapter 11:

1  There shall come forth a Rod from the stem of Jesse, And a Branch shall grow out of his roots.

2 The Spirit of the LORD shall rest upon Him, The Spirit of Wisdom and understanding, The Spirit of counsel and might, The Spirit of knowledge and of the Fear of the LORD.

3 His delight is in the fear of the LORD, And He shall not judge by the sight of His eyes, Nor decide by the hearing of His ears;  NKJV

In other Words:

2  the Spirit of Yahweh will rest upon Him, the Spirit of Extraordinary Wisdom, the Spirit of Perfect Understanding the Spirit of Wise Strategy, the Spirit of Mighty Power, the Spirit of Revelation, and the Spirit of the Fear of Yahweh.

3 He will find his delight in living by the Spirit of the Fear of the Lord. He will neither judge by appearances nor make his decisions based on rumors.  TPT

Make no mistake, walking in Love and The Fear of THE LORD is vital to our fulfilling the Divine Intent of FATHER.  HE would not have stated such expectations if it were not possible to live accordingly.  Don’t restrict yourself in your mind to what FATHER’S Perfect Will is in your life.  Allow your spirit to guide you into all Truth.

Peter wrote by The Holy Spirit in his 1^st Epistle, chapter 4:

7  Since we are approaching the end of all things, be intentional, purposeful, and self-controlled so that you can be given to prayer.

8 Above all, constantly echo God’s intense Love for one another, for Love will be a canopy over a multitude of sins.

9 Be compassionate to foreigners without complaining.

10 Every believer has received grace gifts, so use them to serve one another as faithful stewards of the many-colored tapestry of God’s grace.

11 For example, if you have a speaking gift, speak as though God were speaking HIS Words through you. If you have the gift of serving, do it passionately with the strength God gives you, so that in everything God alone will be glorified through Jesus Christ. For to Him belong the power and the glory forever throughout all ages! Amen.

As we approach the end of all things, let us complete the race with full commitment to HIM WHO called us to display and express HIS Glory in all areas of our lives!
