Live In THE SPIRIT

Thursday, April 4th, 2024

We are to live in THE SPIRIT, not the flesh!

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Galatians chapter 5:

13  For you, brethren, have been called to liberty; only do not use liberty as an opportunity for the flesh, but through Love serve one another.

14 For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this: “You shall Love your neighbor as yourself.”

15 But if you bite and devour one another, beware lest you be consumed by one another!

The word “bite” means to wound the soul with words: to lacerate and rend with insults and reproaches.  The word “devour” means to eat, devour, gulp, or to swallow completely.  Participating in strife and contention only serves to be consumed by the flesh.

16  I say then: Walk (live) in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh.

In other Words:  Let me say emphatically: As you yield to the dynamic life and power of the Holy Spirit, you will abandon the cravings of your self-life.

We have the choice: yield to the Spirit or yield to the flesh!  The more we walk in the Spirit, the more we move toward eliminating strife and contention by simply not participating in the situation.  If someone is persistent in initiating strife and contention, distance yourself from him or her.  You may need to Love the person from afar.  Paul clearly states that we CAN walk in the Spirit all the time if we choose to.

17 For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, so that you do not do the things that you wish.

If allowed, the flesh will hinder you from walking in the Spirit.  This is a war of two realms, and it is your choice which realm you walk in.

How can you more effectively pursue walking in the Spirit?

Jude wrote by The Holy Spirit in his letter:

20  But you, Beloved, building yourselves up on your most Holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit,

21 keep yourselves in the Love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto Eternal Life.

One who speaks in Tongues advances his own Spiritual progress.  Paul was not reluctant to emphasize his own prayer life when he wrote by The Holy Spirit in 1st  Corinthians chapter 14:

18 I thank my God I speak with Tongues more than you all;

When we align ourselves with The Holy Spirit and pray in Tongues, we are pursuing the Spiritual walk and subduing the flesh at the same time.  This has been vital to my growth and dealing with situations of strife and contention.

In Galatians chapter 5:

18 But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.

Paul explains in Romans chapter 8:

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. 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.

We must restrain our flesh from entering into a situation of strife and contention.  The flesh would have us walk away from the fruit of THE SPIRIT and keep us from the path of Life. 

The adversary will attempt to challenge our walk by influencing others to evoke conflict.  If we are led by THE SPIRIT, we will navigate through these attempts without compromising our walk.

You Are Perfected!

Wednesday, April 3rd, 2024

You are perfected in Christ by His unconditional Love!

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.

We are a three-part person, we have a spirit, soul, and body.  When we give our life to Christ, He perfected our spirit man immediately.  This did not apply to our souls or our bodies.  We are accountable to renew our minds and put our bodies under subjection to our spirit.  Our spirit was sealed by The Holy Spirit, but the other two parts were not.

Paul also wrote by The Holy Spirit in Hebrews chapter 10:

11  And every priest stands ministering daily and offering repeatedly the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins.

12 But this Man (Jesus Christ), after He had offered one sacrifice for sins forever, sat down at the Right Hand of God,

13 from that time waiting till His enemies are made His footstool.

14 For by one offering He has perfected forever those who are being sanctified.

This is an unconditional act of Love!  We don’t lose our salvation every time we sin.  Our Heavenly Father’s grace and mercy are sufficient to keep us from losing our salvation.  By Jesus Christ’s one perfect sacrifice He made us perfectly Holy and complete for all time!

Further, in Hebrews chapter 12:

18  For you have not come to the mountain that may be touched and that burned with fire, and to blackness and darkness and tempest,

19 and the sound of a trumpet and the Voice of Words, so that those who heard it begged that The Word should not be spoken to them anymore.

20 (For they could not endure what was commanded: “And if so much as a beast touches the mountain, it shall be stoned or shot with an arrow.”

21 And so terrifying was the sight that Moses said, “I am exceedingly afraid and trembling.”)

22 But you have come to Mount Zion and to the city of the Living God, the Heavenly Jerusalem, to an innumerable company of angels,

23 to the general assembly and church of the firstborn who are registered in heaven, to God the Judge of all, to the spirits of just men made perfect,

24 to Jesus the Mediator of the New Covenant, and to the Blood of sprinkling that speaks better things than that of Abel.

As members of the church of the Firstborn all our names have been legally registered as citizens of Heaven!  We have come before Our Heavenly Father Who judges all, and Who lives among the spirits of the righteous who have been made perfect in His Eyes! 

We are now to come closer to God and approach HIM with an open heart, fully convinced that nothing will keep us at a distance from HIM. For our hearts have been sprinkled with blood to remove impurity, and we have been freed from an accusing conscience.

Now we are clean, unstained, and presentable to God inside and out!  So now wrap your heart tightly around the hope that lives within us, knowing that God always keeps HIS promises!

Discover creative ways to encourage others and to motivate them toward acts of compassion, doing beautiful works as expressions of Love!  Let the perfection of our spirit man be manifested in our words and actions toward others.

HIS Anointed

Tuesday, April 2nd, 2024

Do not be surprised by the division occurring in your country!

Luke recorded by The Holy Spirit in Acts chapter 14:

1  Now it happened in Iconium that they went together to the synagogue of the Jews, and so spoke that a great multitude both of the Jews and of the Greeks believed.

2 But the unbelieving Jews stirred up the Gentiles and poisoned their minds against the brethren.

3 Therefore they stayed there a long time, speaking boldly in the Lord, Who was bearing witness to The Word of His grace, granting signs and wonders to be done by their hands.

4 But the multitude of the city was divided: part sided with the Jews, and part with the apostles.

5 And when a violent attempt was made by both the Gentiles and Jews, with their rulers, to abuse and stone them,

6 they became aware of it and fled to Lystra and Derbe, cities of Lycaonia, and to the surrounding region.

7 And they were preaching the Gospel there.

The division in the U.S. should be apparent to all.  Those in power are attempting to tear apart this country and remove all civil liberties that have allowed us the freedom of worship.  They want to enslave us under their absolute control.  This has been an underlying motive of the adversary for years.  Why?  This country has stood for freedom and has exported the Gospel to countries throughout the earth.

I have seen a major shift in social values over the last fifty years.  No one questioned their gender.  People were kind and courteous as the norm.  Most attended church on Sundays.  There were no sports channels broadcasting 24 hours per day.  Kids played safely outside until dark… and the list goes on.  This year appears to be the culmination of the division between light and dark.  What do I expect soon?

I expect FATHER to grant signs and wonders done by the hands of HIS Sons and Daughters as occurred in the early church.  Many well-known pastors have become complacent in their megachurches.  They don’t want to rock the boat.  They were willingly submitted to closing down their meetings during the “pandemic” yet the bars were left open.

Those in power want to move us to a digital currency thus eliminating cash.  Why?  They want to control where, when, and how we spend money.  They are currently tracking our transactions, texts, emails, phone calls, etc. which will ultimately allow them to use AI (artificial intelligence) to create a social score.  China has already implemented this means of controlling their population.  Will they succeed?

Don’t worry, FATHER is not asleep.  HE is allowing the darkness to reveal itself for all to see.

It is recorded by THE SPIRIT in Isaiah chapter 45:

1  “Thus says the LORD to His anointed, To Cyrus, whose right hand I have held- To subdue nations before him And loose the armor of kings, To open before him the double doors, So that the gates will not be shut:

2 ‘I will go before you And make the crooked places straight; I will break in pieces the gates of bronze And cut the bars of iron.

3 I will give you the treasures of darkness And hidden riches of secret places, That you may know that I, the LORD, Who call you by your name, Am the God of Israel.

4 For Jacob My servant’s sake, And Israel My elect, I have even called you by your name; I have named you, though you have not known Me.

5 I am the LORD, and there is no other; There is no God besides Me. I will gird you, though you have not known Me,

6 That they may know from the rising of the sun to its setting That there is none besides Me. I am the LORD, and there is no other;

7 I form the light and create darkness, I make peace and create calamity; I, the LORD, do all these things.’

If FATHER anointed a heathen king who did not know HIM, HE will do the same today… as HE did in 2016.  Think about it!

Who Limits who?

Monday, April 1st, 2024

Is GOD limiting you or are you limiting GOD?

What is your motivation throughout each day?  Where is your focus?  Are you cooperating with FATHER’S Divine intent for your life?

FATHER is THE GOD of Divine Order and when we rebel, we promote chaos in our lives.

On April 8th, there will be a solar eclipse passing through various states.  How can scientists predict the date, time, and path of this eclipse?  It is because Our Heavenly Father ordered it when HE spoke and established the solar system thousands of years ago.  It is all part of HIS Intelligent Design.

Hotels in its path are booked up for that day.  People trust in the scientists’ reckoning, thus they should place their complete trust in THE DESIGNER!

It is written by THE SPIRIT in Psalm chapter 78:

40 How many times they rebelled in their desert days! How they grieved HIM with their grumblings.

41 Again and again they limited God, preventing HIM from blessing them. Continually they turned back from HIM and provoked the Holy One of Israel!

It is our small thinking that limits GOD in our lives.  Our faith must be expressed in our imaginations.  If you don’t believe in your personal success, you will have what you imagine… nothing.

David recorded by THE SPIRIT in Psalm chapter 16:

11 Because of YOU, I know the path of Life, as I taste the fullness of joy in YOUR Presence. At Your Right Side I experience Divine pleasures forevermore!

And in Psalm chapter 25:

4  Show me Your Ways, O LORD; Teach me Your Paths.

5 Lead me in Your Truth and teach me, For You are the God of my salvation; On You I wait all the day.

If FATHER would answer David’s prayers, HE will answer ours as well.  This is why I begin each day in prayer.  The Holy Spirit directs me in what to write to you.  Without Him, I could not write to you.  Frankly, apart from The Holy Spirit, I don’t have much to say about anything of value.

It is written by THE SPIRIT in Psalm chapter 2:

1  Why do the nations rage, And the people imagine a vain thing?

2 The kings of the earth set themselves, And the rulers take counsel together, Against the LORD and against His Anointed, saying,

3 “Let us break Their bonds in pieces And cast away Their cords from us.”

4 HE who sits in the Heavens shall laugh; The Lord shall hold them in derision.

5 Then He shall speak to them in His wrath, And distress them in His deep displeasure:

6 “Yet I have set My King On My Holy hill of Zion.”

This year is shaping up to be a pivotal year for both the righteous and the wicked.  The righteous are called to take territory for The Kingdom.  It is not business as usual.  FATHER’S plan will come forth right on time, no different than the eclipse occurring on April 8th.

GOD is not limiting you from your participation in HIS plan!  Seek HIM out and HE will give you your marching orders.
