This YouTube is worth watching:
Pay close attention to Mike’s defensive posture. He is one of many who have been warning of what they see coming.
Don’t be scared, be prepared for whatever happens in 2024. FATHER always has the last move!

Thursday, December 21st, 2023The Mission Of Christ
Thursday, December 21st, 2023What is the mission of Christ?
Jesus can never present that which is faulty or evil or weak to The Father. His nature is the perfect character. Because of this, every other character that can be joined with Him in real heirship must be like GOD’S Son. The transforming grace of GOD must take away, and does take away, sin from the soul of man. It gives him HIS strength instead of human weakness. It supplies the grace that makes him like the Lord Jesus Christ! As a reminder, grace is a free gift.
Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Romans chapter 5:
10 For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of His Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by His Life.
11 And not only so, but we also joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by Whom we have now received the atonement.
12 Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:
13 (For until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed when there is no law.
14 Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the similitude of Adam’s transgression, who is the figure of him that was to come.
15 But not as the offence, so also is the free gift. For if through the offence of one many be dead, much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace, which is by One Man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto many.
16 And not as it was by one that sinned, so is the gift: for the judgment was by one to condemnation, but the free gift is of many offences unto justification.
17 For if by one man’s offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in Life by One, Jesus Christ.)
18 Therefore as by the offence of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men unto justification of life.
You don’t earn sanctification, it is a free gift. However it is up to each of us to fully accept this free gift in all its facets by faith.
Paul emphasized this Truth as he wrote by The Holy Spirit in Ephesians chapter 2:
8 For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God,
9 not of works, lest anyone should boast.
10 For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.
Good works are those HE prearranged in our destiny before HE formed us in the womb. We are rewarded for simply doing what HE wanted us to accomplish. The Holy Spirit is pleased to reveal those good works to be done at an individual level. HE will guide your steps daily and will give you and me greater revelation as we submit ourselves to those good works.
Those who do nothing are not fully submitted to Christ. We must not allow ourselves to become inactive in our daily living. Let HIS anointing flow through us in every situation we find ourselves confronting.
The mission of Christ is to present a Holy, without blemish, and blameless Bride to FATHER.
Being Fully Transformed
Wednesday, December 20th, 2023What are you expecting once you have been fully transformed in Christ?
The final and ultimate purpose of Christ is that the Christian will be reproduced in His own Likeness, within and without!
Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Galatians chapter 4:
1 Let me illustrate: As long as an heir is a minor, he’s not really much different than a servant, although he’s the master over all of them.
2 For until the time appointed by the father, the child is under the domestic supervision of the guardians of the estate.
3 So it is with us. When we were juveniles we were enslaved under the hostile spirits of the world.
4 But when the time of fulfillment had come, God sent His Son, born of a woman, born under the law.
5 Yet all of this was so that He would redeem and set free those held hostage to the law so that we would receive our freedom and a full legal adoption as His Children.
6 And so that we would know that we are His True Children, God released the Spirit of Sonship into our hearts—moving us to cry out intimately, “My Father! My true Father!”
7 Now we’re no longer living like slaves under the law, but we enjoy being God’s very own Sons and Daughters! And because we’re His, we can access everything our Father has—for we are heirs because of what God has done! TPT
By revelation, we are to embrace our inheritance in Christ. We are true Sons and Daughters of THE MOST HIGH! Paul pleads with us to move on to full maturity so that we can be totally effective in bringing forth the Plan of GOD on earth.
19 My little children, of whom I travail in birth again until Christ be formed in you,
Paul is emphasizing “until a mind and life in complete harmony with the mind and Life of Christ shall have been formed in you.” He is writing to believers who have yet to see the fullness of what Christ has for them. Salvation is just the beginning. Sanctification is next. Once one has been fully sanctified and made Holy and blameless, glorification is next.
Paul also wrote by The Holy Spirit in Ephesians chapter 5:
20 Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the Name of Our Lord Jesus Christ;
21 Submitting yourselves one to another in the Fear of GOD.
It is imperative that we walk in the “Fear of GOD”.
22 Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord.
23 For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the Head of the Church: and He is the Savior of the Body.
24 Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing.
25 Husbands, Love your wives, even as Christ also Loved the church, and gave Himself for it;
26 That He might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by The Word,
27 That He might present it to Himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be Holy and without blemish.
As we pray in Tongues which is one aspect of being washed of water by The Word, let us also study The Word daily. This is one reason I present so many passages for you to consider. I desire for you to gain revelation from Above, not an opinion from the world.
Once again, Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Colossians chapter 1:
18 And Jesus is the Head of the body, the church: Who is the beginning, the Firstborn from the dead; that in all things He might have the preeminence.
19 For it pleased the Father that in him should all fulness dwell;
20 And, having made peace through the Blood of His cross, by Him to reconcile all things unto Himself; by Him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in Heaven.
In other Words, by the Blood of His cross, everything in Heaven and earth is brought back to Himself—back to its original intent, restored to innocence again!
21 And you, that were sometime alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now hath He reconciled
22 In the Body of His flesh through death, to present you Holy and unblameable and unreproveable in His sight
If we will embrace the revelation Paul has presented in multiple letters, our mindsets will be transformed until Christ is fully formed in us!
An Interesting Perspective On Gold
Tuesday, December 19th, 2023Fiat currencies have a history of declining to zero value.
Virtual currencies depend on the Internet which can be shutdown at any time by the government and/or hackers.
Unless you have stock certificates in your physical possession, they are simply “Security Entitlements”.
Bank deposits are now legally “claims” that are subordinate to senior debt holders.
We live in interesting times and the only solution is Spiritual in nature!
Christ’s Preeminence
Monday, December 18th, 2023Christ’s presence with us is not just an outward companion, but an indwelling Divine Force, revolutionizing our nature and making us like Him. The final and ultimate purpose of Christ is that the Christian will be reproduced in His own Likeness, within and without!
Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Colossians chapter 1:
18 And Jesus is the Head of the body, the church: Who is the beginning, the Firstborn from the dead; that in all things He might have the preeminence.
19 For it pleased the Father that in him should all fulness dwell;
20 And, having made peace through the Blood of His cross, by Him to reconcile all things unto Himself; by Him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in Heaven.
In other Words, by the Blood of His cross, everything in Heaven and earth is brought back to Himself—back to its original intent, restored to innocence again!
21 And you, that were sometime alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now hath He reconciled
22 In the Body of His flesh through death, to present you Holy and unblameable and unreproveable in His sight
We will be without blemish! Paul pleads with us to move forward in maturity. Why? This is what Love does! He wants all of us to walk “worthy of The Lord”.
Paul also wrote by The Holy Spirit in Ephesians chapter 4:
1 I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech (plead with) you that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called,
2 With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in Love;
3 Endeavoring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.
4 There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling;
5 One Lord, one faith, one baptism,
6 One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.
7 But unto every one of us is given grace according to the measure of the gift of Christ.
Unity will be a result of the True Body of Christ.
8 Wherefore he saith, When he ascended up on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men.
9 (Now that he ascended, what is it but that he also descended first into the lower parts of the earth?
10 He that descended is the same also that ascended up far above all heavens, that He might fill all things.)
11 And He gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;
We should not exalt any member of Christ above another. These ministries are meant to serve, not be served. There is but one goal: perfecting the Body of Christ.
12 For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the Body of Christ:
13 Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ:
The adversary will focus on the immature, and it is up to us to admonish the immature to move on to full maturity.
14 That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive;
Deception is the primary weapon of the adversary… beware!
15 But speaking the Truth in Love, may grow up into Him in all things, which is the Head, even Christ:
16 From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying (building up) of itself in Love.
Self-sacrificing Love should be the primary motivation in all that we do.
Possessing His Nature
Sunday, December 17th, 2023We are to be possessors of the Nature of Jesus Christ!
We should be Christ in character, Christ in demonstration, and Christ in agency of transmission.
Jesus spoke in John chapter 5:
30 I can of Myself do nothing. As I hear, I judge; and My judgment is righteous, because I do not seek My Own Will but the Will of the Father Who sent Me.
Jesus did not speak or act independently of FATHER’S Will. We are called to walk in like manner. The majority of Christians do not see this as vital in their daily lives. If they did, we would not have the social issues we are now facing. The priorities of government would be different. Social perversion could not fund its tactics. However, there is a remnant who have not bowed to Baal.
And in John chapter 6:
38 For I have come down from Heaven, not to do My own Will, but the Will of Him Who sent Me.
Jesus reemphasized the fact that He solely represents FATHER and His power and authority were clear confirmations of His walk. An immature believer is challenged in that the adversary will try to divert his or her attention from becoming mature in Christ. The adversary’s methods are subtle and are not easily seen. Social media is one such method used to divert focus.
The Beloved Disciple wrote by The Holy Spirit in 1st John chapter 4:
1 Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God; because many false prophets have gone out into the world.
2 By this you know the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is of God,
If a “prophet” does not confess Jesus as his LORD and Savior, run the other way.
3 and every spirit that does not confess that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is not of God. And this is the spirit of the antichrist, which you have heard was coming, and is now already in the world.
4 You are of God, little children, and have overcome them, because He Who is in you is greater than he who is in the world.
Jesus is not sitting on some distant throne; He is in you and me. False prophets tickle your ears and tell you what would appeal to your natural man.
5 They are of the world. Therefore they speak as of the world, and the world hears them.
I see this all the time in the financial arena. YouTube is filled with man’s opinions about the future. Some will tell you that the stock market is going up next year and some will swear that it is going down. Therefore, half will be right and will convince you to follow them… and pay for their subscriptions. Even a blind squirrel can find a nut every now and then.
6 We are of God. He who knows God hears us; he who is not of God does not hear us. By this we know the spirit of Truth and the spirit of error.
Those who are truly motivated by Love, seek to express Truth in all areas to benefit all. We need The Holy Spirit to allow us to discern intent. This requires us to be sensitive on a daily basis. This can only be accomplished by continuous fellowship with The Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
7 Beloved, let us Love one another, for Love is of God; and everyone who Loves is born of God and knows God.
8 He who does not Love does not know God, for God is Love.
Our primary motivation should always be Love for Love is His core Nature!
Moving Toward Maturity
Saturday, December 16th, 2023We are meant to pursue the deeper revelations in our walk with GOD!
The writings of this site are meant to take the reader beyond the milk of The Word and continue on to the meat of The Word. Who would you trust to steward your assets, a child, or a mature, reliable, and trustworthy adult?
Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Hebrews chapter 5:
12 For though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you again the first principles of the oracles of God; and you have come to need milk and not solid food.
13 For everyone who partakes only of milk is unskilled in the Word of righteousness, for he is a babe.
14 But solid food belongs to those who are of full age, that is, those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.
In other words, solid food is for the mature, whose spiritual senses perceive Heavenly matters. And they have been adequately trained by what they’ve experienced to emerge with an understanding of the difference between what is truly excellent and what is evil and harmful. They are not blinded by the appeal of the world and its trappings (aka: snares).
The spiritually immature are easily scammed by nefarious individuals who are the epitome of lawlessness. Why? It is because they do not hear The Holy Spirit in all areas. Their walk is somewhat inconsistent which leads to soulishness. I know firsthand from interactions with various individuals who supposedly had my best interest at heart. I was wrong and had to repent of my error in judgment and discernment. Sadly, those lessons came with a cost. Thankfully, FATHER is in the restoration business.
Continued in chapter 6:
1 Therefore, leaving the discussion of the elementary principles of Christ, let us go on to perfection, not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works and of faith toward God,
2 of the doctrine of baptisms, of laying on of hands, of resurrection of the dead, and of Eternal judgment.
3 And this we will do if God permits.
Those who have followed these writings will hopefully have no questions related to these foundational Truths.
4 For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted the Heavenly gift, and have become partakers of the Holy Spirit,
5 and have tasted the good Word of God and the powers of the age to come,
6 if they fall away, to renew them again to repentance, since they crucify again for themselves the Son of God, and put Him to an open shame.
7 For the earth which drinks in the rain that often comes upon it, and bears herbs useful for those by whom it is cultivated, receives blessing from God;
8 but if it bears thorns and briers, it is rejected and near to being cursed, whose end is to be burned.
I have seen people fall away from The Truth and it saddens me that they became blinded to the reality of walking in GOD’S ways. They allowed themselves to be swayed by men’s teachings that tickled their ears.
Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in 2nd Timothy chapter 4:
1 I charge you therefore before God and the Lord Jesus Christ, Who will judge the living and the dead at His appearing and His Kingdom:
2 Preach the Word! Be ready in season and out of season. Convince, rebuke, exhort, with all longsuffering and teaching.
3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers;
4 and they will turn their ears away from the Truth, and be turned aside to fables.
5 But you be watchful in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry.
The time is coming when those who are not grounded in The Word, will no longer listen and respond to the healing Words of Truth because they will become selfish and proud. They will seek out teachers with soothing words that line up with their desires, saying just what they want to hear.
You must not allow temporary relationships to take you off course, even by one degree!
Kids In Need Update
Friday, December 15th, 2023We have continued providing kids with essentials and food. A number of coats were purchased and handed out to those without. Thank you!!!
Here is one testimony of a villager in need:
This teacher has had the same Villager for 3 years and always goes above and beyond for him! Today is Pajama Day at school. She got him pajamas that matched hers….which he is pretending to hate, but we all know he secretly loves! He has been going around school all day telling everyone that he is twins with Mrs. Compton today!
Just one example of how our gifts of Love impact those kids!
Shaking Is Coming
Friday, December 15th, 2023Will FATHER be well pleased with us as HE shakes the world kingdoms?
Will you be found occupying or be preoccupied with the harpazo?
Jesus speaks in Luke chapter 19:
11 Now as they heard these things, Jesus spoke another parable, because He was near Jerusalem and because they thought the Kingdom of God would appear immediately.
12 Therefore He said: “A certain Nobleman went into a far country to receive for Himself a Kingdom and to return.
13 So He called ten of his servants, delivered to them ten minas, and said to them, ‘Do business till I come.’
Or as the KJV version says, “Occupy till I come.”
14 But his citizens hated Him, and sent a delegation after Him, saying, ‘We will not have this man to reign over us.’
15 “And so it was that when He returned, having received the Kingdom, He then commanded these servants, to whom He had given the money, to be called to Him, that He might know how much every man had gained by trading.
16 Then came the first, saying, ‘Master, Your mina has earned ten minas.’
17 And He said to him, ‘Well done, good servant; because you were faithful in a very little, have authority over ten cities.’
18 And the second came, saying, ‘Master, Your mina has earned five minas.’
19 Likewise He said to him, ‘You also be over five cities.’
20 “Then another came, saying, ‘Master, here is Your mina, which I have kept put away in a handkerchief.
21 For I feared You, because you are an austere man. You collect what you did not deposit, and reap what you did not sow.’
22 And he said to him, ‘Out of your own mouth I will judge you, you wicked servant. You knew that I was an austere man, collecting what I did not deposit and reaping what I did not sow.
23 Why then did you not put my money in the bank, that at my coming I might have collected it with interest?’
24 “And he said to those who stood by, ‘Take the mina from him, and give it to him who has ten minas.’
25 (But they said to Him, ‘Master, he has ten minas.’)
26 ‘For I say to you, that to everyone who has will be given; and from him who does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him.
27 But bring here those enemies of mine, who did not want me to reign over them, and slay them before me.'”
By all accounts, the shaking has begun around the globe.
Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Hebrews 12:
25 See that you do not refuse Him Who speaks. For if they did not escape who refused Him Who spoke on earth, much more shall we not escape if we turn away from Him who speaks from Heaven,
26 Whose Voice then shook the earth; but now He has promised, saying, “Yet once more I shake not only the earth, but also heaven.”
27 Now this, “Yet once more,” indicates the removal of those things that are being shaken, as of things that are made, that the things which cannot be shaken may remain.
28 Therefore, since we are receiving a Kingdom which cannot be shaken, let us have grace, by which we may serve God acceptably with reverence and Godly fear.
29 For our God is a Consuming Fire.
A promise is by nature positive whereas a judgment is negative.
Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Colossians chapter 1:
15 He is the Image of the invisible God, the Firstborn over all creation.
16 For by Him all things were created that are in Heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through Him and for Him.
17 And He is before all things, and in Him all things consist.
18 And He is the Head of the Body, the church, Who is the beginning, the Firstborn from the dead, that in all things He may have the preeminence.
19 For it pleased the Father that in Him all the fullness should dwell,
20 and by Him to reconcile all things to Himself, by Him, whether things on earth or things in heaven, having made peace through the Blood of His cross.
His Kingdom is above all present kingdoms of the world. Therefore, those kingdoms will ultimately submit to His Kingdom one way or another. Kingdoms which are not His, will fall since they were built on wood, hay, and stubble.
Jesus further spoke in Luke chapter 21:
25 “And there will be signs in the sun, in the moon, and in the stars; and on the earth distress of nations, with perplexity, the sea and the waves roaring;
26 men’s hearts failing them from fear and the expectation of those things which are coming on the earth, for the powers of the heavens will be shaken.
27 Then they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.
28 Now when these things begin to happen, look up and lift up your heads, because your redemption draws near.”
Don’t be scared, be prepared! This shaking is a promise and those of us who built our foundations on The Rock will weather such shaking.
Fulfilling All Righteousness
Thursday, December 14th, 2023Will FATHER be well pleased with us in all areas?
Jesus is our Perfect Example of satisfying FATHER’S expectations in all areas.
Matthew recorded by The Holy Spirit in the Gospel of Matthew chapter 3:
13 Then Jesus came from Galilee to John at the Jordan to be baptized by him.
14 And John tried to prevent Him, saying, “I need to be baptized by You, and are You coming to me?”
15 But Jesus answered and said to him, “Permit it to be so now, for thus it is fitting for us to fulfill all righteousness.” Then he allowed Him.
16 When He had been baptized, Jesus came up immediately from the water; and behold, the Heavens were opened to Him, and He saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and alighting upon Him.
17 And suddenly a Voice came from Heaven, saying, “This is My Beloved Son, in Whom I am well pleased.”
Jesus physically submitted His Body to fulfill all righteousness and FATHER immediately affirmed this physical act of submission. His Body was not excluded from the righteous requirements needed to fulfill His earthly ministry.
Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in 2nd Corinthians 9:
6 But this I say: He who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and he who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully.
7 So let each one give as he purposes in his heart, not grudgingly or of necessity; for God loves a cheerful giver.
8 And God is able to make all grace abound toward you, that you, always having all sufficiency in all things, may have an abundance for every good work.
9 As it is written: “He has dispersed abroad, He has given to the poor; His righteousness endures forever.”
This passage is often used to focus on the law of financial distribution to the poor. Yes, it is appropriate. However, it goes beyond the financial area. If we give over our body sparingly, our physical impact will be affected by this restriction. Jesus fully submitted to walk in righteousness: spirit, soul, AND body.
Christians haven’t been taught to commit their bodies to GOD, and the result is that they feel justified in committing them to someone else or something else, rather than to FATHER.
To whom do you want to submit your body? We are meant to separate ourselves for FATHER’S purpose in all areas. This can be a great challenge due to the lack of past teaching and understanding in this area. It may seem nearly impossible for the young believer to embrace. Isn’t it all about personal priorities?
FATHER will Love us no matter what state of maturity we walk in. As well, our fruitfulness is an expression of our Love for HIM. HIS Love is without conditions of our performance. After all, FATHER did not wait for the world to become righteous before HE sent His Beloved Son.
A father loves his infant as much as his grown son. His love for his children is independent of their current state of maturity. However, will the grown son please his father by his acts?
Our maturity extends to our bodies as well as our spirit and soul. Let us not omit the physical aspect of our being. We should ask FATHER to show us how to fulfill all righteousness in our bodies as we walk out our callings. Our fruitfulness will be a testimony to others- good or bad.
