Your Testimony in 2024

Sunday, January 14th, 2024

You can’t have a testimony without a test!

This year will provide all of us with tests.  Truth is THE answer to all the deception which is now occurring.

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in 1st Corinthians chapter 16:

9 For a great and effective door has opened to me, and there are many adversaries.

There was an amazing door of opportunity standing wide open for Paul to minister there, even though there were many who opposed and stood against him.  We have an open door of opportunity before us now!  Yes, there will be adversaries.

Luke recorded by The Holy Spirit in Acts chapter 18:

5  When Silas and Timothy had come from Macedonia, Paul was compelled by the Spirit, and testified to the Jews that Jesus is the Christ.

6 But when they opposed him and blasphemed, he shook his garments and said to them, “Your blood be upon your own heads; I am clean. From now on I will go to the Gentiles.”

7 And he departed from there and entered the house of a certain man named Justus, one who worshiped God, whose house was next door to the synagogue.

8 Then Crispus, the ruler of the synagogue, believed on the Lord with all his household. And many of the Corinthians, hearing, believed and were baptized.

9 Now the Lord spoke to Paul in the night by a vision, “Do not be afraid, but speak, and do not keep silent;

10 for I am with you, and no one will attack you to hurt you; for I have many people in this city.”

11 And he continued there a year and six months, teaching the Word of God among them.

We must not be reluctant to speak out as well.  Silence is an inferred acceptance of what is happening in our society today.  The nefarious ones want to keep us silent and divided.  Why?  Division causes weakness in dealing with the adversary.

Luke also recorded in Acts chapter 19:

8  And Paul went into the synagogue and spoke boldly for three months, reasoning and persuading concerning the things of the Kingdom of God.

9 But when some were hardened and did not believe, but spoke evil of the Way before the multitude, he departed from them and withdrew the disciples, reasoning daily in the school of Tyrannus.

10 And this continued for two years, so that all who dwelt in Asia heard the Word of the Lord Jesus, both Jews and Greeks.

11 Now God worked unusual miracles by the hands of Paul, [12] so that even handkerchiefs or aprons were brought from his body to the sick, and the diseases left them and the evil spirits went out of them.

When we submit to the call of Divine responsibility, we can and should expect unusual miracles to confirm our calling.

What was the result of Paul’s commitment to his calling?

18  And many who had believed came confessing and telling their deeds.

19 Also, many of those who had practiced magic brought their books together and burned them in the sight of all. And they counted up the value of them, and it totaled fifty thousand pieces of silver.

20 So the Word of the Lord grew mightily and prevailed.

Do you think the enemy will do nothing?

23 And about that time there arose a great commotion about the Way.

24 For a certain man named Demetrius, a silversmith, who made silver shrines of Diana, brought no small profit to the craftsmen.

25 He called them together with the workers of similar occupation, and said: “Men, you know that we have our prosperity by this trade.

26 Moreover you see and hear that not only at Ephesus, but throughout almost all Asia, this Paul has persuaded and turned away many people, saying that they are not gods which are made with hands.

27 So not only is this trade of ours in danger of falling into disrepute, but also the temple of the great goddess Diana may be despised and her magnificence destroyed, whom all Asia and the world worship.”

28 Now when they heard this, they were full of wrath and cried out, saying, “Great is Diana of the Ephesians!”

29 So the whole city was filled with confusion, and rushed into the theater with one accord, having seized Gaius and Aristarchus, Macedonians, Paul’s travel companions.

Expect resistance from the adversary when the Truth is preached and accepted.

There will be a recognition of your anointing.  You have an authorization that is recognized thus you have an assignment, responsibility, and accountability to walk out that assignment.  Don’t allow yourself to be intimidated by the enemy.  As you walk out your assignment, doors will be opened for you to walk through.

 There are three open doors… ask, seek, and knock to open the doors: assignment, responsibility, and accountability.  You will be tested at every door you seek to enter through.

Unredacted Truth?

Saturday, January 13th, 2024

We are an apolitical ministry but we are not to disregard “redaction” or the hiding of Truth. Jesus exposed the Pharisees who were the leaders of Israel for what their agenda was.

Jesus spoke in Matthew chapter 13:

37 He answered and said to them: “He who sows the good seed is the Son of Man. 38 The field is the world, the good seeds are the sons of the kingdom, but the tares are the sons of the wicked one. 39 The enemy who sowed them is the devil, the harvest is the end of the age, and the reapers are the angels. 40 Therefore as the tares are gathered and burned in the fire, so it will be at the end of this age. 41 The Son of Man will send out His angels, and they will gather out of His kingdom all things that offend, and those who practice lawlessness, 42 and will cast them into the furnace of fire. There will be wailing and gnashing of teeth. 43 Then the righteous will shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He who has ears to hear, let him hear!

And Jesus spoke in John chapter 8:

31 Then Jesus said to those Jews who believed Him, “If you abide in My Word, you are My disciples indeed. 32 And you shall know the Truth, and the Truth shall make you free.”

What we need is unredacted (visible, no longer hidden) Truth. Tucker Carlson has voiced his commitment to exposing Truth in all areas of society. The following is an interview where he is searching for the truth:

Congressman Clay Higgins is quoted as saying in the 36th minute of the interview:

I believe Speaker Johnson will. Mike is quite a skilled constitutionalist attorney himself. And he’s a very measured, patient, faithful man. So I extend trust to Speaker Johnson when he says that it’s his intention to fully release the J6 tapes. But really it’s digital evidence. It’s more than just video evidence. It’s a lot. You know, radio transcripts, the whole thing. I believe Speaker Johnson knows that this is a significant duty that he must perform for the American people. It’s a moment in history where you know, I believe our Lord and Savior has placed him in that position of service to the country. And he has a responsibility to fully release that data. And then the American people will see for themselves what some of us have already learned, to our horror, to be true.

Unrighteousness and redaction is always about money (greed) and power. The historical evidence proves it as always.

Moving Into Harmony

Friday, January 12th, 2024

Your spirit is the part of you that contacts The Lord!

The first real healing and restoration is the healing of our spirit.  If our spirit is out of harmony and out of shape, can we expect to be healed?  We must adjust our life to be in harmony with HIM.  How?  To be led by The Holy Spirit in all areas.

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Romans chapter 8:

8 So then, those who are in the flesh cannot please God.

9 But you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. Now if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he is not His.

10 And if Christ is in you, the body is dead because of sin, but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.

11 But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who dwells in you.

Faith is a product of your spirit, not of your intellect.  Your intellect does not produce faith.  Your knowledge may give you grounds for faith, but faith is resident in your spirit.  If faith was due to intellect, then only the brightest would be healed.  You don’t need a PhD behind your name for healing to come.  If anything, it can be a hindrance to your healing.  A strong mind challenges a weak spirit.

Jesus spoke by THE SPIRIT in Matthew chapter 18:

1  At that time the disciples came to ask Jesus, “Who is considered to be the greatest in Heaven’s Kingdom realm?”

2 Jesus called a little one (child) to His side and said to them,

3 “Learn this well: Unless you dramatically change your way of thinking and become teachable like a little child, you will never be able to enter in.

4 Whoever continually humbles himself to become like this little child is the greatest one in Heaven’s Kingdom realm.

When you see yourself as an expert, you will tend to limit your willingness to change.  You are not as open to greater revelation that can be spoken by a person who is being led by The Holy Spirit… no matter how young.

5 And if you tenderly care for this little one on my behalf, you are tenderly caring for me.

6 But if anyone abuses one of these little ones who believes in Me, it would be better for him to have a heavy boulder tied around his neck and be hurled into the deepest sea than to face the punishment he deserves!  TPT

What is the opposite of promoting abuse?  It is promoting righteousness and life.  Our assistance to kids in need promotes life, Love, hope, and faith.  It also encourages the teachers who have become instruments of hope.

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,

patience 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.

24  And those who are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.

25 If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.

26 Let us not become conceited (or arrogant), provoking one another, envying one another.

In other Words, if The Spirit is the Source of our life, we must also allow The Spirit to direct every aspect of our lives.

Faith is a fruit of The Holy Spirit, not soulish intellect.

Paul also wrote in Hebrews chapter 11:

6 But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a Rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.

Without faith living within us it would be impossible to please God. For we come to God in faith knowing that He is real and that He rewards the faith of those who passionately seek Him.

As we hear and respond to The Word, whether spoken or written, we will move into harmony with FATHER.  This will result in authority and power becoming manifest in our lives.

Maturity In All Areas

Thursday, January 11th, 2024

We are to pursue fullness in maturity in all areas: spirit, soul, and body!

Sin is breaking some kind of Law, and sin in the body is breaking the law of the body.  Dis-ease is broken law or dismantled ease… ease that had been destroyed.  Ease is health and dis-ease is sickness.

There are three kinds of sickness: spirit, soul, and body.  Our spiritual condition ultimately translates to the soul and body.  There is a difference between your spirit being new and being strong as well.  Your spirit has the capacity to be either strong or weak.

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Romans chapter 8:

1  There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.

If you are not fully led by The Holy Spirit, your spirit can become weak and ineffective. The psalmist recorded in Psalm 77, 142, and 143 that his spirit felt weak.

2 For the law of the Spirit of Life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death.

3 For what the law could not do in that it was weak through the flesh, God did by sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, on account of sin: He condemned sin in the flesh,

4 that the righteous requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.

It is our responsibility to walk according to THE SPIRIT in all areas.  As we strengthen our spirit man, our spirit takes command of our soul, ultimately taking command of our body.  Many will not pursue this level of maturity because they never thought it was possible.

Wisdom recorded in Proverbs chapter 23:

7 For as he thinks in his heart, so is he. “Eat and drink!” he says to you, But his heart is not with you.

12  Pay close attention to the teaching that corrects you, and open your heart to every Word of instruction.

Your actions will reveal what is in your heart.  You can temporarily hide your spiritual maturity, but in the end, you will reveal what is in your heart.  Be quick to recognize and receive correction and instruction.  It is vital that we submit daily to the instruction of The Holy Spirit!

5 For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit.

6 For to be carnally minded is death, but to be Spiritually minded is life and peace.

If you want to walk in peace in the times ahead, you must choose to be Spiritually minded in all areas.  I encourage you to be prepared, not scared.

7 Because the carnal mind is enmity against God; for it is not subject to the law of God, nor indeed can be.

8 So then, those who are in the flesh cannot please God.

My greatest desire is to be pleasing to FATHER.  These writings are meant to minister the same desire to all who read these.

9 But you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. Now if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he is not His.

10 And if Christ is in you, the body is dead because of sin, but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.

11 But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who dwells in you.

If FATHER gives life to our mortal bodies, then sickness will no longer be able to reside in our bodies.  HIS Life will swallow up death and destruction.  There are no sick people in Heaven.

The Call To Divine Responsibility

Wednesday, January 10th, 2024

Perilous times are upon us!

Paul provides a list of the last days of the end times:

He wrote by The Holy Spirit in 2nd Timothy chapter 3:

1  But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come:

2 For men will be:

lovers of themselves (self-centered)

lovers of money (obsessed with money)

boasters (of great things)

proud and arrogance

blasphemers (mocking all that is right)

disobedient to parents (ignoring parents)

unthankful (ungrateful)

unholy (ungodly)

3    unloving  (hateful)

unforgiving (malicious)

slanderers

without self-control (slaves to their own desires)

brutal treachery (without restraint)

despisers of good

4    traitors

headstrong (bigoted and wrapped in deceit)

haughty (self-exalting)

lovers of pleasure rather than Lovers of God

5    having a form of godliness but denying its power.

And from such people turn away!

6 For of this sort are those who creep into households and make captives of gullible women loaded down with sins, led away by various lusts,

7 always learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.

8 Now as Jannes and Jambres resisted Moses, so do these also resist the Truth:

men of corrupt minds

disapproved concerning the faith;

9 but they will progress no further

for their folly will be manifest to all, as theirs also was.

I have observed every item on the above list, and it is widespread in society.  However, Paul continues:

12  Yes, and all who desire to live Godly in Christ Jesus will suffer persecution.

13 But evil men and impostors will grow worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived.

14 But you must continue in the things which you have learned and been assured of, knowing from Whom you have learned them,

16 All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness,

17 that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.

FATHER has transmitted HIS very substance into every Scripture, for it is God-breathed. It will empower you by Its instruction and correction, giving you the strength to take the right direction and lead you deeper into the path of Godliness. Then you will be God’s servant, fully mature and perfectly prepared to fulfill any assignment God gives you.

You and I have a call to Divine responsibility!  Let us not shirk our responsibility but fully seek it out and embrace it.  Now is the time.  The world is getting darker by the day, so we are to counteract the darkness by becoming brighter lights to shine in the darkness.

It is written by THE SPIRIT in the Book of Esther chapter 4:

13  And Mordecai told them to answer Esther: “Do not think in your heart that you will escape in the king’s palace any more than all the other Jews.

14 For if you remain completely silent at this time, relief and deliverance will arise for the Jews from another place, but you and your father’s house will perish. Yet who knows whether you have come to the kingdom for such a time as this?”

Will we remain silent and passive, or will we respond to the call of Divine Appointment and responsibility?

Our Transformation Process

Tuesday, January 9th, 2024

Our transformation begins on the inside and works its way to the outside!

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Colossians chapter 1:

22 … to present you Holy, and blameless, and above reproach in His sight

23 if indeed you continue in the faith, grounded and steadfast, and are not moved away from the hope of the Gospel which you heard, which was preached to every creature under heaven, of which I, Paul, became a minister.

When you were saved, your spirit became perfect.  Now the issue is our souls and bodies.  They are meant to be Holy and blameless.

Paul also wrote in Romans chapter 12:

1  I beseech (encourage, exhort, summon, instruct) you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, Holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service.

It is reasonable for us to expect our bodies to become Holy and acceptable to GOD before we get to Heaven.  How are we to accomplish it?  Paul tells us:

2 And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect Will of God.

When our minds are transformed, we are able to discern what is good, acceptable, and perfect in FATHER’S EYES.  The Holy Spirit will lead and guide us into all Truth.

Jesus affirmed this when He spoke in John chapter 16:

13   However, when He, the Spirit of Truth, has come, He will guide you into all Truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you things to come.

When you walk in Truth, the past blemishes dissolve away.

Paul urges us by The Holy Spirit in Philippians chapter 3:

17  Brethren, join in following my example, and note those who so walk, as you have us for a pattern.

We have a pattern to follow as we consecrate ourselves to become blameless in His Sight.

18 For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ:

19 whose end is destruction, whose god is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame-who set their mind on earthly things.

Notice where the enemies focus.  They set their minds on earthly things which is by nature temporal. 

20 For our citizenship is in Heaven, from which we also eagerly wait for the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ,

21 Who will transform our lowly body that it may be conformed to His glorious Body, according to the working by which He is able even to subdue all things to Himself.

Jesus was transfigured.  Moses was transfigured.  Do we dare to consider that we can be transfigured as well?  Can the internal transformation of the mind ultimately affect the body as well?

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in 1st Thessalonians chapter 5:

23  Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you completely; and may your whole spirit, soul, and body be preserved blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

24 He who calls you is faithful, who also will do it.

It is clear that Paul expected the body to be included.

A Word From Above

Monday, January 8th, 2024

Come and look on my face. Gaze into my glory until you are transformed. I will give you new eyes, my eyes, which give you true understanding. When you look through my eyes, the world around you changes. When you see the sick, I see them healed. When you see the lost, I see them asleep and ready to be awakened. When you see darkness approaching, I see the enemy defeated. And when I look at you, I see you completed—whole, beautiful, lacking nothing.

I call you into true vision, so that you might see. Partake of my healing eye salve, and your vision will be clear. I will heal your eyes and cause you to clearly evaluate and discern the day in which you are living. Many see doom; I see glory. Many see devastation; I see my kingdom increasing and having no end. I see the end from the beginning. When you come before my throne, you will see what my prophet Isaiah saw—the whole earth full of my glory!

Pursuing The Extraordinary

Monday, January 8th, 2024

Are you pursuing the easy or the extraordinary?

Jesus spoke to Ananias in Acts chapter 9:

11  So the Lord said to him, “Arise and go to the street called Straight, and inquire at the house of Judas for one called Saul of Tarsus, for behold, he is praying.

12 And in a vision he has seen a man named Ananias coming in and putting his hand on him, so that he might receive his sight.”

15 But the Lord said to him, “Go, for he is a chosen vessel of Mine to bear My Name before Gentiles, kings, and the children of Israel.

16 For I will show him how many things he must suffer (experience) for My Name’s sake.”

Suffering not only includes the perils but also the deliverance.  Jesus suffered in the wilderness, yet He was endued with power afterward.  Many doors were opened to Paul so that he could fulfill his calling to bear the Name of Jesus before Gentiles, kings, and the children of Israel.

Pursuing the extraordinary will require consecration.  What is consecration?  It is:

to consecrate, sanctify, prepare, dedicate, be hallowed, be Holy, be sanctified, be separate.

Just as Aaron and his sons were anointed and consecrated, we too are to be consecrated as priests unto FATHER.  Walking in Holiness allows us to receive intimate Words from FATHER which are reserved for those who are willing to come into full maturity IN CHRIST.

Let us remove and strip away the excesses and trivialities of the world’s trappings.

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Colossians chapter 1:

9  For this reason we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to ask that you may be filled with the knowledge of His Will in all Wisdom and Spiritual understanding;

10 that you may walk worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing Him, being fruitful in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God;

We are called to be fruitful in every good work which is pleasing to HIM: spirit, soul, and body!

11 strengthened with all might, according to His glorious power, for all patience and longsuffering with joy;

We are strengthened by His glorious power, not man’s.

12 giving thanks to the Father Who has qualified us to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in the light.

There is a qualification requirement which means that we can be disqualified as well.  It is vital that we understand that we can be disqualified!

13 He has delivered us from the power of darkness and conveyed us into the Kingdom of the Son of His Love,

14 IN WHOM we have redemption through His Blood, the forgiveness of sins.

The power of darkness should have no impact on us as we walk in the light.

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.

21 And you, who once were alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now He has reconciled

22 in the Body of His Flesh through death, to present you Holy, and blameless, and above reproach in His sight

23 if indeed you continue in the faith, grounded and steadfast, and are not moved away from the hope of the Gospel which you heard, which was preached to every creature under heaven, of which I, Paul, became a minister.

We are required to be longsuffering (i.e. patient, enduring) as we move into full maturity in Christ.  As we do, all blemishes are removed, and we become blameless in His sight.  We are transformed by the renewing or our mind. 

Will we suffer persecution?  Yes, the world will attempt to divert us from our individual callings.  The persecutions of the true church have been on the rise by those who have reprobate minds.  It is their attempt to justify their sinfulness.  Light judges darkness and exposes the Truth which can no longer be hidden.

There is a cost to walking in the supernatural, but it is well worth it!

FATHER’S Divine Enabling

Sunday, January 7th, 2024

Grace is FATHER’S Divine enabling, it is a Love gift!

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Ephesians chapter 2:

4  But God, Who is rich in mercy, because of His Great Love with which He Loved us,

5 even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved),

6 and raised us up together, and made us sit together in the Heavenly places in Christ Jesus,

7 that in the ages to come He might show the exceeding riches of His grace in His kindness toward us in Christ Jesus.

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.

When we tap into the Supernatural grace of GOD, we are able to do things we could not do before.  HIS grace will overcome all adversity that you will encounter as you walk out your calling.  Roadblocks will be removed.  Grace will qualify you to complete various tasks by Divine revelation.

We must not allow our works to focus the attention on ourselves but rather we are to glorify Jesus in all that we do.  It is His works through us, His grace in us, His faith through us, to orchestrate the fulfilling of our individual ministries.  It is by HIS design!

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in 2nd Corinthians chapter 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.”

10 Now may He who supplies seed to the sower, and bread for food, supply and multiply the seed you have sown and increase the fruits of your righteousness,

11 while you are enriched in everything for all liberality, which causes thanksgiving through us to God.

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

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

FATHER is the Supplier AND the Multiplier by HIS grace, not by our works.  The growth in our individual ministries is always supernatural and we are to give HIM glory for such supernatural supply and multiplication.  We are to situate ourselves for GOD to get the glory for all to see.

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

7 But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellence of the power may be of God and not of us.

Today, open your mind, your heart, and your life to that which you don’t yet know, that you might contain that which is greater than yourself!

Once again,

For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them!
