Wake up to the Great Awakening!

The pattern of the Great Awakening is found in the Book of Haggai.  This book is dated about 18 years after Cyrus had conquered Babylon and issued a decree in 538 BC, allowing the captive Judahites to return to Judea. Cyrus saw the restoration of the temple as necessary for the restoration of religious practices and a sense of peoplehood, after the long exile.  The name Haggai means “festive of celebration”.

It is recorded by The Holy Spirit in Haggai chapter 1:

1 In the second year of King Darius, in the sixth month, on the first day of the month, the Word of the LORD came by Haggai the prophet to Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and to Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, saying,

2 “Thus speaks the LORD of hosts, saying: ‘This people says, “The time has not come, the time that the LORD’s house should be built.”‘”

3 Then the Word of the LORD came by Haggai the prophet, saying,

4 “Is it time for you yourselves to dwell in your paneled houses, and this temple to lie in ruins?”

5 Now therefore, thus says the LORD of hosts: “Consider your ways!

6 “You have sown much, and bring in little; You eat, but do not have enough; You drink, but you are not filled with drink; You clothe yourselves, but no one is warm; And he who earns wages, Earns wages to put into a bag with holes.”

7 Thus says the LORD of hosts: “Consider your ways!

8 Go up to the mountains and bring wood and build the temple, that I may take pleasure in it and be glorified,” says the LORD.

9 “You looked for much, but indeed it came to little; and when you brought it home, I blew it away. Why?” says the LORD of hosts. “Because of My House that is in ruins, while every one of you runs to his own house.

10 Therefore the heavens above you withhold the dew, and the earth withholds its fruit.

It is clear that the people had focused on themselves rather than bringing forth The Kingdom that glorifies GOD here on earth.

12 Then Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, with all the remnant of the people, obeyed the Voice of the LORD their God, and the words of Haggai the prophet, as the LORD their God had sent him; and the people feared the Presence of the LORD.

13 Then Haggai, the LORD’s messenger, spoke the LORD’s message to the people, saying, “I am with you, says the LORD.”

14 So the LORD stirred up (ʿûr) the spirit of Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and the spirit of Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, and the spirit of all the remnant of the people; and they came and worked on the House of the LORD of hosts, their God,

The Hebrew word ʿûr means: to rouse oneself, awake, awaken, incite.  The leaders and the remnant were awakened to focus on building the House of THE LORD here on earth so that FATHER would take pleasure in HIS House on earth and be glorified in It.  FATHER has awakened us to the need to walk in the Fear of THE LORD, obey HIS Voice, and bring forth HIS Kingdom on earth for HIS Glory!

Hallow means to respect greatly!

Jesus spoke in Matthew chapter 6:

9 In this manner, therefore, pray: Our Father in heaven, Hallowed be Your Name. 10 Your Kingdom come. Your Will be done On earth as it is in Heaven.

11 Give us this day our daily bread.

12 And forgive us our debts, As we forgive our debtors.

13 And do not lead us into temptation, But deliver us from the evil one. For Yours is the Kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.

We are to pray that HIS Kingdom realm be manifested on earth and HIS every purpose be fulfilled here.  HIS Divine Intent is to be manifested through His saints throughout the entire earth, taking down all strongholds of resistance.  The metaphor of the Promised Land declares this Truth.

THE LORD spoke and it is recorded in Joshua chapter 1:

6 Be strong and of good courage, for to this people you shall divide as an inheritance the land which I swore to their fathers to give them.

7 Only be strong and very courageous, that you may observe to do according to all the Law which Moses My servant commanded you; do not turn from it to the right hand or to the left (do not deviate), that you may prosper wherever you go.

8 This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in It day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success.

The name Joshua means Yahweh is salvation.  Joshua represents the Lion of Judah who is tasked with taking down the strongholds of the enemy who were occupying the Promised Land.  Joshua and Caleb represent the overcomers.

What happened when Joshua began his conquest of the Promised Land?

It is recorded by The Holy Spirit in Joshua chapter 5:

13 When Joshua was near Jericho, he looked up and saw standing in front of him a Man holding a drawn sword. Joshua approached him and said, “Are You on our side or on our enemies’?”

14 “Neither,” he replied. “I have not come to take sides but to take charge. I am the Commander of YAHWEH’s armies.” At once, Joshua threw himself facedown to the ground and worshiped, and he said to Him, “I will do whatever you command, My Lord.”

15 The Commander of YAHWEH’s armies said to Joshua, “Remove your sandals, for you are standing on Holy ground!” And Joshua obeyed.

Joshua had been the apprentice to Moses and knew how to respond to the Presence of GOD.  When a Divine Moment occurs, don’t be surprised if you end up on your face!  Joshua experienced the Fear of THE LORD.

In chapter 6:

 1 Now Jericho was securely shut up because of the children of Israel; none went out, and none came in.

2 And the LORD said to Joshua: “See! I have given Jericho into your hand, its king, and the mighty men of valor.

Joshua was directed to act according to what THE LORD instructed.  It made no sense from a human standpoint.  Joshua obeyed in order to bring forth the Supernatural.  Walking in obedience to THE LORD is the key to conquering the enemy inhabiting the Promised Land.

When you and I are fully led by The Holy Spirit, we will be equipped for every good work.

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

13 But the evil men and sorcerers will progress from bad to worse, deceived and deceiving, as they lead people further from the Truth.

14 Yet you must continue to advance in strength with the Truth wrapped around your heart, being assured by God that He’s the One Who has Truly taught you all these things.

15 Remember what you were taught from your childhood from the Holy Scrolls which can impart to you Wisdom to experience everlasting Life through the faith of Jesus, the Anointed One!

16 God 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. 17 Then you will be God’s servant, fully mature and perfectly prepared to fulfill any assignment God gives you.

We are called to overcome the increasing deception by overcoming the world with the Word of Truth, walking in supernatural power and authority given to us by Our Lord Jesus Christ.  We will walk with the deepest respect and Holy Awe of GOD.  Hallowed be HIS NAME!

Why did Jesus teach on The Kingdom for forty days?

After His resurrection, Jesus was not finished with the disciples’ preparation even though they had spent 3 ½ years with Him.

Luke recorded 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.

4 And being assembled together with them, He commanded them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for the Promise of the Father, “which,” He said, “you have heard from Me;

5 for John truly baptized with water, but you shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit not many days from now.”

6 Therefore, when they had come together, they asked Him, saying, “Lord, will You at this time restore the Kingdom to Israel?”

7 And He said to them, “It is not for you to know times or seasons which the Father has put in His own authority.

8 But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.”

Jesus came to restore The Kingdom of GOD on earth as it is in Heaven.  Adam walked with GOD until he gave authority to the adversary.  At that point, the Kingdom of GOD was no longer available on earth.  Jesus came to restore the Kingdom of GOD on the earth, first as a Lamb, and then as a Lion.  Jesus spent forty days preparing the disciples to spread the Gospel concerning the Kingdom of GOD, to exist both on earth and in Heaven.

Jesus spoke in Matthew chapter 6:

33 But seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.

As a young believer, my priorities were on receiving, not seeking.  I believe that is true for most believers when they read this verse.  However, the focus should be on “seeking”, not receiving.  Are we meant to seek the Kingdom in Heaven?  We would need to leave the earth to accomplish that.  We are to come into the Presence of GOD here on earth.  Heaven is where HE is at, HIS Dominion.  As we walk in the Fear of THE LORD, we can expect HIS Presence.

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in 1^st Thessalonians chapter 2:

10 With God as our Witness you saw how we lived among you—in Holiness, in Godly relationships, and without fault.

11 And you know how affectionately we treated each one of you, like a Loving father cares for his own children.

12 We comforted and encouraged you and challenged you to adopt a lifestyle worthy of God, Who invites you into His Kingdom and glory.

We are meant to reside in HIS Kingdom on earth thus we are charged in doing our part in bringing forth HIS Manifested Presence here on earth.  This is “seeking” the Kingdom on earth.

Jesus spoke in Mark chapter 1:

15 Jesus’ message was this: “At last the fulfillment of the age has come! It is time for God’s Kingdom to be experienced in its fullness! Turn your lives back to God and put your trust in the hope-filled Gospel!”

Jesus was not suggesting that everyone die.  He declared that it is time to experience GOD’S Kingdom in Its fullness here on earth.  Mature saints will not only experience this Truth but will declare and testify of this Reality to the world until HIS Kingdom spreads throughout the earth.

We don’t schedule Divine Moments!

Divine Moments are the response of Heaven to the cries of earth, but the timing is entirely up to THE LORD.  I provided you with an example of HIS Timing in the post of two days ago concerning 1:11:11 on the clock.

THE LORD is the One Who opens the door and says come up here!

I believe that we are in the middle of a Great Awakening, and it has never been more important for me to adhere to my priority list stated in that recent post.  My goal is to get ready.  None of the lists you find in Scripture contain or confine GOD, they will reveal GOD, there is a difference.

We have never seen this Great Awakening before, so we don’t know what it is going to look like.  I wasn’t alive during the two past Great Awakenings that have been identified and written by historians.

It is written by The Holy Spirit in Isaiah chapter 46:

10 I declare from the beginning how it will end and foretell from the start what has not yet happened. I decree that My purpose will stand, and I will fulfill My every plan.

We must trust HIS timing even though we may be going through personal trials at this time.  Our trials contain revelation to behold if we have eyes to see.

Knowing Truth does not set you free.  The mental comprehension of a concept does not set you free.  The knowing by experience is when GOD gives you an insight of a Truth which always comes as an invitation to an experience and a deeper relationship.  This where the Truth will set you free.

Paul invites us to a deeper relationship with The Holy Spirit as he wrote by The Holy Spirit in 1^st Corinthians chapter 14:

1 Pursue [this] Love [with eagerness, make it your goal], yet earnestly desire and cultivate the Spiritual gifts [to be used by believers for the benefit of the church], but especially that you may prophesy [to foretell the future, to speak a new message from God to the people].

We are to pursue deeper revelation in every circumstance we encounter.  Paul gave us a list of nine Spiritual gifts of THE SPIRIT in chapter 12.  He didn’t impart the gifts, he gave an invitation to pursue the gifts.  It is our responsibility to pursue a deeper relationship with Our Heavenly Father.

James wrote by The Holy Spirit in James chapter 4:

5 Does the Scripture mean nothing to you that says, “The Spirit that God breathed into our hearts is a jealous Lover Who intensely desires to have more and more of us”?

6 But He continues to pour out more and more grace upon us. For it says, “God resists you when you are proud but continually pours out grace when you are humble.”

7 So then, surrender to God. Stand up to the devil and resist him and he will flee in agony.

8 Move your heart closer and closer to God, and He will come even closer to you. But make sure you cleanse your life, you sinners, and keep your heart pure and stop doubting.

When you come close to GOD, you will ultimately reside under HIS Shadow.  Your trials become less and less as you do.

The benefits are detailed as was written by The Holy Spirit in Psalm chapter 91:

1 When you abide under the Shadow of Shaddai, you are hidden in the strength of God Most High.

2 He’s the Hope that holds me and the Stronghold to shelter me, the only God for me, and my great confidence.

3 He will rescue you from every hidden trap of the enemy, and He will protect you from false accusation and any deadly curse.

4 His Massive Arms are wrapped around you, protecting you. You can run under His Covering of Majesty and hide. His Arms of faithfulness are a shield keeping you from harm.

5 You will never worry about an attack of demonic forces at night nor have to fear a spirit of darkness coming against you.

6 Don’t fear a thing! Whether by night or by day, demonic danger will not trouble you, nor will the powers of evil be launched against you.

7 Even in a time of disaster, with thousands and thousands being killed, you will remain unscathed and unharmed.

8 You will be a spectator as the wicked perish in judgment, for they will be paid back for what they have done!

9-10 When we live our lives within the Shadow of God Most High, our secret hiding place, we will always be shielded from harm. How then could evil prevail against us or disease infect us?

As we dwell close to Our Heavenly Father, we will experience Divine Moments of exceptional Love, rescue, protection, and revelation, especially as we deal with personal trials.  Our trials will prepare us for the Great Awakening at hand.

Walking in The Fear of GOD draws us closer to GOD!

The word fear has been mainly used to cause a person to distance himself from whatever is evoking fear. This use has invaded the mindset of most people and caused them to have difficulty in understanding what The Fear of THE LORD really is.

We cannot fully define or describe The Fear of THE LORD because HIS Ways are higher than ours.  Our finite minds restrict us from fully embracing the infinite. 

It is written by The Holy Spirit in Isaiah chapter 55:

9 As high as the heavens are above the earth, so My Ways and My Thoughts are higher than yours.

10 “As the snow and rain that fall from heaven do not return until they have accomplished their purpose, soaking the earth and causing it to sprout with new life, providing seed to sow and bread to eat.

11 So also will be the Word that I speak; it does not return to Me unfulfilled. My Word performs My Purpose and fulfills the mission I sent It out to accomplish.”

There is absolutely no way for us to fully understand HIS Ways!

One facet of The Fear of GOD is to describe our relationship with HIM using the word reverence.  Reverence for God is a feeling of deep respect, awe, and often Love, a profound sense of the Divine that leads to worship and a desire to honor God’s Holiness.  There is no casualness in our relationship with Our Heavenly Father.  Walking in reverence is far from the complete picture.

It is written by The Holy Spirit in Hebrews chapter 12:

26 The earth was rocked at the sound of His Voice from the mountain, but now He has promised, “Once and for all I will not only shake the systems of the world, but also the unseen powers in the heavenly realm!”

27 Now this phrase “once and for all” clearly indicates the final removal of things that are shaking, that is, the old order, so only what is unshakable will remain.

28 Since we are receiving our rights to an unshakable Kingdom we should be extremely thankful and offer God the purest worship that delights His Heart as we lay down our lives in absolute surrender, filled with Awe.

29 For our God is a Holy, devouring Fire!

Can mankind shake the systems of the world as well as the unseen powers in the heavenly realm?  No!  Who can create the unshakeable?  Only Our Heavenly Father.  How should we respond to HIM?  In the Fear of THE LORD in full surrender and fill with Awe!

On March 14^th, the State of Oklahoma dealt with 70+ miles per hour winds.  There was a statewide weather alert with extreme fire danger, similar to what happened in the Los Angeles area.  Consider that Holy Fire is more extreme and intense than these events.

Now, consider what Paul said as He wrote by The Holy Spirit in 1^st Corinthians chapter 3:

11 For no one is empowered to lay an alternative foundation other than the good foundation that exists, which is Jesus Christ!

12-13 The quality of materials used by anyone building on this foundation will soon be made apparent, whether it has been built with gold, silver, and costly stones, or wood, hay, and straw. Their work will soon become evident, for the Day will make it clear, because it will be revealed by blazing Fire! And the Fire will test and prove the workmanship of each builder.

14 If his work stands the test of Fire, he will be rewarded.

15 If his work is consumed by the Fire, he will suffer great loss. Yet he himself will barely escape destruction, like one being rescued out of a burning house.

16 Don’t you realize that together you have become God’s Inner Sanctuary and that the Spirit of God makes His permanent home in you?

17 Now, if someone desecrates God’s inner sanctuary, God will desecrate him, for God’s inner sanctuary is holy, and that is exactly who you are.

Holy Fire will reveal and expose everything about you and me.  Repent if you need to, I did.  Holy Fire is another facet of walking in The Fear of The Lord.  As we embrace this walk, we will move to purity and Holiness ourselves.  Our work will reflect this walk because we are walking closer and closer to OUR GOD.

To walk in The Fear of GOD should be our highest priority!

Among most believers, it is not on their priority list.  Each of us should ask ourselves daily: What is my best use of time?  What is my highest priority?

In the mid 1970’s, I was given the project by my supervisor at the bank where I worked, to develop a time management class and then conduct the class for about 150 officers of the bank.  The goal was to make them more productive using their time wisely.

I created a work pad for them to use in creating a daily priority list.  There were five categories with associated relative priorities:

Urgent requiring immediate attention (A1)

Vital (A2)

Important (B)

Limited value (C)

Waste (D)

I submit to you that walking in The Fear of THE LORD should be your A1 priority.

It is written by The Holy Spirit in Psalm Chapter 111:

1 Praise the LORD! I will praise the LORD with my whole heart, In the assembly of the upright and in the congregation.

2 The Works of the LORD are great, Studied by all who have pleasure in them.

3 His Work is honorable and glorious, And His righteousness endures forever.

4 He has made His wonderful works to be remembered; The LORD is gracious and full of compassion.

5 He has given food to those who fear Him; He will ever be mindful of His covenant.

6 He has declared to His people the power of His works, In giving them the heritage of the nations.

7 The Works of His hands are verity and justice; All His precepts are sure.

8 They stand fast forever and ever, And are done in Truth and uprightness.

9 He has sent redemption to His people; He has commanded His covenant forever: Holy and Awesome is His Name.

10 The Fear of the LORD is the beginning of Wisdom; A good understanding have all those who do His commandments. His praise endures forever.

Notice that in verse 9, FATHER’S Name is described as Holy and Awesome.  In the mid 1990’s while in early morning prayer, FATHER spoke to me the following, “Quit using the word awesome except when you are describing ME or MY works.” I got the message, loud and clear!

In the summer of 1995, I was intensely working away in writing a computer program for my business in my office.  Suddenly the anointing of The Holy Spirit came upon me and FATHER said, “Turn around and look at the clock right now.”  So, I turned my back and the time on the clock indicated that it was 1:11:11 precisely.  HE then said, “I bring forth MY anointing at the precise time I choose.”  I responded, “Understood!”

As you can imagine, I have been contemplating this rēma Word for the last forty years.  I submit to you that HE finished speaking at 1:11:10 and this corresponds with Psalm 111:10. This is the revelation that I was meant to receive.  I guess that I am a little bit slow but Now is the time!

Now consider what Solomon recorded by The Holy Spirit in Proverbs chapter 1:

1 The proverbs of Solomon the son of David, king of Israel:

2 To know Wisdom and instruction, To perceive the Words of understanding,

3 To receive the instruction of Wisdom, Justice, judgment, and equity;

4 To give prudence to the simple, To the young man knowledge and discretion-

5 A wise man will hear and increase learning, And a man of understanding will attain wise counsel,

6 To understand a proverb and an enigma, The words of the wise and their riddles. 7 The Fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge, But fools despise wisdom and instruction.

Consider the following daily priority list:

A1     Walk in The Fear of THE LORD

A2     Get Wisdom

B        Get understanding

C        Do what is important and vital

D       Don’t waste your time

Selah!

The contented never create the future!

We are meant to create the future and this will be done by HIS manifested Presence which will lead and guide us into victory over the adversary.

It is written by The Holy Spirit in Judges 6:

11 The Angel of YAHWEH came to the village of Ophrah and sat down under the oak tree that belonged to Joash, a man of the clan of Abiezer. His son Gideon was secretly threshing some wheat in a winepress so that the Midianites would not see him.

12 YAHWEH’s Angel suddenly appeared to Gideon and said, “YAHWEH’s Presence goes with you, man of fearless courage!”

13 “Me?” Gideon replied. “But sir, if YAHWEH is truly with us, why have all these troubles come to us? Where are all his miracle-wonders that our fathers told us about when they said, ‘Did not YAHWEH deliver us out of Egypt?’ But now YAHWEH has abandoned us and put us under the power of the Midianites.”

14 Then YAHWEH Himself faced Gideon directly and said, “Am I not sending you? With My Presence you have all you need. Go in the strength that you now have and rescue Israel from Midian’s power!”

15 Gideon said to him, “But Lord, how could I ever rescue Israel? Of all the thousands in Manasseh, my clan is the weakest, and I’m the least qualified in my family.”

16 YAHWEH replied, “My Presence and My power will be with you. Believe Me, Gideon, you will crush the Midianites as easily as if they were only one man!”

What was the difference that caused Gideon to go from a mindset of fear to a mindset as a man of fearless courage?  It was the manifested Presence of GOD HIMSELF.

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Romans chapter 8:

31 So, what does all this mean? If God has determined to stand with us, tell me, who then could ever stand against us?

32 For God has proved His Love by giving us His greatest treasure, the gift of His Son. And since God freely offered Him up as the sacrifice for us all, He certainly won’t withhold from us anything else He has to give.

33 Who then would dare to accuse those whom God has chosen in love to be his? God himself is the judge who has issued his final verdict over them—“Not guilty!” 34 Who then is left to condemn us? Certainly not Jesus, the Anointed One! For He gave His Life for us, and even more than that, He has conquered death and is now risen, exalted, and enthroned by God at His Right Hand. So how could He possibly condemn us since He is continually praying for our triumph?

Why is Jesus continually praying for our triumph?  He wants us to line up with the Promises of GOD for our generation.  He wants us to make the right choice and if we are led by The Holy Spirit rather than the world, we will!

It is written by The Holy Spirit in Isaiah chapter 45:

18 This is what YAHWEH says, Heaven’s Creator, Who alone is God. He created the earth, shaped it, and established it all by Himself. He made it fit and orderly and beautiful (not to be a place of empty chaos) for its inhabitants. He says: “I am YAHWEH, and there is no other God.

Many Christians focus on being raptured out of the current chaos.  We are instead to bring forth The Kingdom of GOD on earth as it is in Heaven.  As we walk in The Fear of THE LORD, HIS Presence will bring forth victory as it did for Gideon and his remnant of 300.

You and I are here to create the future filled with order and beauty!

Our breakthrough is inside of us!

FATHER will delay manifestation until you are ready for it.  Delay will expose anything that needs to be removed from your life, whether it be sin, unforgiveness, or some form of worldliness that has not yet been dealt with.  None of us want delay in our lives.

James wrote by The Holy Spirit in James 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.

You cannot speed up GOD’S process, but you can slow it down.  Anxiety causes us to forget GOD’S promises and become double-minded.  If we will simplify in the delayed seasons, we will not clutter our minds with conflicting situations and spread to thin. 

We must keep anchored to what GOD has said and focus on those promises of our future.  We must confess and declare what HE has promised.  It is up to us to bring forth HIS Divine Intent for our lives.  He will not override our choices!  The battle over the heart and mind is huge in the seasons of delay.  Our progress is that we stuck with what GOD has said and did not compromise.

The test of THE LORD is that HE is constantly measuring us in the area of spiritual maturity, our faithfulness.  HE is measuring what we can carry out on behalf of The Kingdom to cause HIS Glory to rest upon the people.  Our foundation must be strong and intact so that we can properly handle HIS Glory meant to come to the earth.

Jesus is returning to the earth for a glorious church.  Her Body will be proportionate to The Head in all areas.  Any spiritual delay gives us more time to move toward greater spiritual maturity in our daily walk.  Use your time wisely!

FATHER sees what needs to be changed in us so that we can fulfill our calling at the proper time.  Embrace the delay so that your endurance grows even stronger until there is nothing missing or lacking.

There are times when we try to fulfill our own testimony and our own prophetic words rather than waiting on THE LORD to exalt us to our calling.  We will add a lot of carnality and flesh to the fulfillment, and it limits the measure of Glory that GOD wants to manifest in our lives.

We need to participate with GOD’S process and not attempt to circumvent it by our own ability.  FATHER is looking to work through us!  We must surrender our natural effort and focus and allow HIM to breathe on and bring about the breakthroughs that we long for IN HIM.

King David wrote by The Holy Spirit in Psalm chapter 27:

14 Here’s what I’ve learned through it all: Don’t give up; don’t be impatient; be entwined as one with the Lord. Be brave and courageous, and never lose hope. Yes, keep on waiting—for HE will never disappoint you!

David also wrote in Psalm chapter 37:

3 Keep trusting in the Lord and do what is right in His Eyes. Fix your heart on the promises of God, and you will dwell in the land, feasting on His faithfulness.

4 Find your delight and true pleasure in YAHWEH, and He will give you what you desire the most.

5 Give God the right to direct your life, and as you Trust Him along the way, you’ll find He pulled it off perfectly!

6 He will appear as your righteousness, as sure as the dawning of a new day. He will manifest as your justice, as sure and strong as the noonday sun.

7 Quiet your heart in His Presence and wait patiently for YAHWEH. And don’t think for a moment that the wicked, in their prosperity, are better off than you.

Are you willing to patiently wait on THE LORD for your breakthrough?  We are to wait on GOD with intense focus, not with inactivity.

We are to prepare our hearts for action!

You and I are to purify our souls and our hearts so that we can enter into the manifested Presence of THE LORD for our daily path to take.

Peter wrote by The Holy Spirit in 1^st Peter chapter 1:

13 So then, prepare your hearts and minds for action! Stay alert and fix your hope firmly on the marvelous grace (enablement) that is coming to you. For when Jesus Christ is unveiled, a greater measure of grace will be released to you.

14 As God’s obedient children, never again shape your lives by the desires that you followed when you didn’t know better.

15 Instead, shape your lives to become like the Holy One Who called you.

16 For Scripture says: “You are to be Holy, because I am Holy.”

17 Since you call on Him as your Heavenly Father, the impartial Judge Who judges according to each one’s works, live each day with Holy Awe and reverence throughout your time on earth.

The word unveiled means to come out of concealment, appear, be made manifest, revealed.  Peter uses the Greek word apokalypsis.  This is the same word used by The Beloved Disciple when he recorded by The Holy Spirit in Revelation chapter 1:

1 This is the unveiling (apokalypsis, i.e. Revelation) of Jesus Christ, which God gave Him to share with His Loving servants what must occur swiftly. He signified it by sending His angel to his Loving servant John.

2 I, John, bore witness to the Word of God and the testimony of Jesus Christ.

3 A joyous blessing rests upon the one who reads this message and upon those who hear and embrace the Words of this prophecy, for the appointed time is in your hands.

Peter furth wrote in chapter 1:

20 This was part of God’s plan, for He was chosen and destined for this before the foundation of the earth was laid, but He has been made manifest in these last days for you.

21 It is through Him that you now believe in God, Who raised Him from the dead and glorified Him, so that you would fasten your faith and hope in God alone.

22 Now, because of your obedience to the Truth, you have purified your very souls, and this empowers you to be full of Love for your fellow believers. So express this sincere Love toward one another passionately and with a pure heart.

Those with a pure heart and a pure soul will see GOD!

In the past, ministers preached that we have not been given a spirit of fear.  They would use such passages as:

2 Timothy 1:7

For God will never give you the spirit of fear, but the Holy Spirit who gives you mighty power, Love, and self-control.

This refers to the “fear of man”, not the Fear of GOD.

The Beloved Disciple wrote by The Holy Spirit in 1^st John chapter 4:

16 We have come into an intimate experience with God’s Love, and we trust in the Love He has for us. God is Love! Those who are living in Love are living in God, and God lives through them.

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.

Walking in The Fear of THE LORD ensures that we will not walk in fear of punishment.  GODLY Fear is One of reverence and Awe of WHO HE IS.  The person who walks in the Fear of THE LORD has nothing to hide.

King David recorded by The Holy Spirit in Psalm chapter 25:

12 Who are they that live in the Holy Fear of YAHWEH? You will show them the right path to take.

13 Then prosperity and favor will be their portion, and their descendants will inherit the earth.

14 There’s a private place reserved for the devoted Lovers of YAHWEH, where they sit near Him and receive the revelation-secrets of His promises.

The Holy Fear of THE LORD brings forth prosperity, not punishment.  Knowing this Truth, we should prepare our hearts for action in the coming days.

We are to serve GOD in GODLY FEAR!

You and I are the Temple of The Holy Spirit, and we are to serve Him in purity of purpose.

It is written by The Holy Spirit Hebrews chapter 12:

26 The earth was rocked at the sound of His Voice from the mountain, but now He has promised, “Once and for all I will not only shake the systems of the world, but also the unseen powers in the heavenly realm!”

27 Now this phrase “once and for all” clearly indicates the final removal of things that are shaking, that is, the old order, so only what is unshakable will remain.

28 Since we are receiving our rights to an unshakable Kingdom, we should be extremely thankful and offer God the purest worship that delights His Heart as we lay down our lives in absolute surrender, filled with awe (The Fear of THE LORD).

29 For our God is a Holy, devouring Fire!

When we walk in full surrender to HIM, there is no compromise.  Our lives must be built on the foundation of Jesus Christ, and our works will reveal themselves through HIS Holy Fire in the end.

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in 1^st Corinthians chapter 3:

10 God has given me unique gifts as a skilled master builder who lays a good foundation. Afterward another craftsman comes and builds on it. So builders beware! Let every builder do his work carefully, according to God’s standards.

11 For no one is empowered to lay an alternative foundation other than the good foundation that exists, which is Jesus Christ!

12-13 The quality of materials used by anyone building on this foundation will soon be made apparent, whether it has been built with gold, silver, and costly stones, or wood, hay, and straw. Their work will soon become evident, for the Day will make it clear, because it will be revealed by blazing Fire! And the Fire will test and prove the workmanship of each builder.

14 If his work stands the test of Fire, he will be rewarded.

15 If his work is consumed by the Fire, he will suffer great loss. Yet he himself will barely escape destruction, like one being rescued out of a burning house.

This is an ominous warning to each of us.  This is one reason this ministry focuses on explicit instructions by Jesus Christ Himself to minister to those in need, especially the kids.  Such assistance will survive the test of Holy Fire.

Solomon’s Temple was the type and shadow of our Temple.  His Temple was built using gold, silver, and costly stones (1^st Chronicles 29:1-2).  Wisdom will build her house with Divine substance (gold), redemption’s fruit (silver), and transformed lives (costly stones).

Wood, hay, and straw are emblems of the work of the flesh, the building materials of men, not of GOD.  They grow up from the ground, which GOD cursed (Genesis 3:17).  It is both quality and durability that GOD commends.  Fire will cause the better material to glow brighter, but the inferior material will be consumed.  How we built and what we build matters to GOD.  Note that it is possible to build on the True foundation of Christ but with wrong materials.  We need FATHER’S work done in HIS way.

As we walk in GODLY Fear, we will focus only on those works that are superior in nature and will stand the test of Holy, devouring Fire in the end.
