The Ultimate Act Of Worship

Sunday, November 30th, 2025

Worship is the highest activity of which any human being is capable!

Prostrate prayer involves lying flat on one’s face on the ground as a posture of deep humility, submission, and worship.  It symbolizes profound reverence for God and is often performed during times of intense prayer, repentance, or to show awe.  

By thanksgiving, we acknowledge GOD’S goodness.  By praise, we acknowledge GOD’S greatness.  By worship, we acknowledge GOD’S Holiness.

It is recorded by The Holy Spirit in Genesis chapter 17:

3 Then Abram fell on his face (prostrate) in awe before God, and God said to him, 4 “I establish my covenant with you: “You will become a father of many nations.

5 You will no longer be named Abram because I am changing your name to Abraham, for I have made you a father of many nations.

6 I will make you abundantly fruitful, more than you expect. I will make nations out of you, and kings will trace their lineage back to you.

7 Yes, I will establish My Eternal covenant of Love between me and you, and it will extend to your descendants throughout their generations. I will be your children’s God, just as I am your God.

And in Joshua chapter 7:

6 Joshua and the elders of Israel tore their clothes and threw dust over their heads to show their sorrow. They threw themselves facedown to the ground in front of the ark of YAHWEH until the evening sacrifice.

And The Beloved Disciple recorded by The Holy Spirit in Revelation chapter 1:

17 When I saw Him, I fell down at his feet as good as dead, but He laid His Right Hand on me and I heard His reassuring Voice saying: Don’t yield to fear. I am the Beginning and I am the End,

And again, in Revelation chapter 5:

8 And when the twenty-four elders and the four living creatures saw the Lamb had taken the scroll, they fell facedown at the feet of the Lamb and worshiped Him. Each of them had a harp and golden bowls brimming full of sweet fragrant incense—which are the prayers of God’s Holy Lovers.

14 Then the four living creatures responded: “Amen!” And the twenty-four elders threw themselves facedown to the ground and worshiped.

Above all, Jesus spoke and acted in worship in Matthew chapter 26:

37 He took Peter, Jacob, and John with Him. However, an intense feeling of great sorrow plunged His Soul into agony.

38 And He said to them, “My Heart is overwhelmed and crushed with grief. It feels as though I’m dying. Stay here and keep watch with Me.”

39 Then He walked a short distance away, and overcome with grief, He threw Himself face down on the ground and prayed, “My Father, if there is any way You can deliver Me from this suffering, please take it from Me. Yet what I want is not important, for I only desire to fulfill Your plan for Me.” Then an angel from Heaven appeared to strengthen Him.

Pride will keep dignified believers from true positions of worship, especially in church services.  They are more concerned about how they look to others rather than worshipping The King of Heaven and earth.

Perhaps the ultimate act of worship is being face down on the ground and worshipping FATHER.  FATHER we are totally dependent on YOU!

Worshipping THE FATHER

Saturday, November 29th, 2025

Worship is the highest activity of which any human being is capable!

By thanksgiving, we acknowledge GOD’S goodness.  By praise, we acknowledge GOD’S greatness.  By worship, we acknowledge GOD’S Holiness.

It is recorded by The Holy Spirit in Isaiah chapter 6:

1 In the year that King Uzziah died, I clearly saw the Lord. He was seated on His exalted Throne, towering high above me. His long, flowing robe of splendor spread throughout the temple.

2 Standing above Him were the angels of flaming fire, each with six wings: with two wings they covered their faces in reverence, with two wings they covered their feet, and with two wings they flew.

3 And one called out to another, saying: “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God, Commander of Angel Armies! The whole earth is filled with His glory!”

4 The thunderous voice of the fiery angels caused the foundations of the thresholds to tremble as the cloud of glory filled the temple!

GOD’S Holiness fills HIS Presence and those who enter into HIS Presence will experience HIS pure Holiness and HIS Holy fire will remove any impurities, guilt, and sin, they will be blotted out.

The Beloved Disciple wrote what he heard and saw by The Holy Spirit in Revelation chapter 4:

8 Each of the four living creatures had six wings, full of eyes all around and under their wings. They worshiped without ceasing, day and night, singing,

“Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God, the Almighty! The Was, the Is, and the Coming!”

9 And whenever the living creatures gave glory, honor, and thanks to the One Who is enthroned and Who lives forever and ever,

10 the twenty-four elders fell facedown before the One seated on the Throne and they worshiped the One Who lives forever and ever. And they surrendered their crowns before the Throne, singing:

11 “You are worthy, Our Lord and God, to receive glory, honor, and power, for You created all things, and for Your pleasure they were created and exist.”

Praise and thanksgiving are primarily utterances; they come out of our mouth.  We speak them or we sing them or we may even shout them. 

Worship is not primarily an utterance.  Worship describes an attitude of the body.  Worship is not really an utterance, it is an attitude, not just the physical body, but an attitude of the whole inner being.

There are certain specific attitudes which, in the Bible, are characteristic of worship.  First of all, bowing down the head.

Moses recorded by The Holy Spirit in Exodus chapter 4:

30 And Aaron spoke all the Words which the LORD had spoken to Moses. Then he did the signs in the sight of the people.

31 So the people believed; and when they heard that the LORD had visited the children of Israel and that He had looked on their affliction, then they bowed their heads and worshiped.

Often, worship it’s not just the head, but the upper part of the body.  Many times, it is the stretching out of the hands, palms upwards.  When we stretch out our hands to GOD, we are saying “Thank You.”

Kneeling is a very distinctive attitude of worship.

It is recorded by The Holy Spirit in 2nd Chronicles chapter 6:

12 Then Solomon stood before the altar of the LORD in the presence of all the assembly of Israel, and spread out his hands

13 (for Solomon had made a bronze platform five cubits long, five cubits wide, and three cubits high, and had set it in the midst of the court; and he stood on it, knelt down on his knees before all the assembly of Israel, and spread out his hands toward Heaven);

14 and he said: “LORD God of Israel, there is no God in Heaven or on earth like You, who keep Your covenant and mercy with Your servants who walk before You with all their hearts.

15 You have kept what You promised Your servant David my father; You have both spoken with Your Mouth and fulfilled it with Your Hand, as it is this day.

The man who was given Wisdom from Above, provided us an example of what it means to worship Our Heavenly Father.  Don’t be deprived of the blessing that comes when you are kneeling before Our Heavenly Father!

Continually Praise HIM

Friday, November 28th, 2025

Let us continually praise THE LORD!

When times are good, let us praise THE LORD.  In times of testing, let us also praise THE LORD.

It is written by The Holy Spirit in Hebrews chapter 13:

15 Therefore through Jesus let us continually offer the sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of our lips, giving thanks to His Name.

16 We will show mercy to the poor and not miss an opportunity to do acts of kindness for others, for these are the true sacrifices that delight God’s Heart.

We are to continually praise THE LORD in all things.  As we do, there will be no complaints coming from our lips.  As we praise HIM in all things, our hope and faith will increase.

This song was given by The Holy Spirit in Psalm chapter 48:

1 There are so many reasons to describe God as wonderful! So many reasons to praise HIM with unlimited praise!

The fact that HE brought you to this earth and sustained you should be enough to praise HIM.  Our praise should be in proportion to HIS greatness, meaning it is measureless.

A song of thanksgiving was inspired by The Holy Spirit in Psalm chapter 100:

4 You can pass through HIS open gates with the password of praise. Come right into HIS Presence with thanksgiving. Come bring your thank offering to HIM and affectionately bless HIS beautiful Name!

5 For YAHWEH is always good and ready to receive you. HE’S so Loving that it will amaze you—so kind that it will astound you! And HE is famous for HIS faithfulness toward all. Everyone knows our God can be trusted, for HE keeps HIS promises to every generation!

Thanksgiving is the first step or stage in our approach to GOD.  Next is praise!  After we’ve been through thanksgiving, we pass on to praise.

Both thanksgiving and praise have a very important psychological effect.  If we are coming to GOD with great petitions, with things that seem very hard and difficult, the more we thank GOD for all HE’S already done, the easier it is to believe HIM for what we want HIM to do next.  If we don’t come with thanksgiving, we don’t have any psychological build-up to our faith.

Speak the following:

For the LORD is good.

HIS mercy is everlasting.

And HIS Truth endures to all generations.

Thank YOU LORD, Amen!

As we praise HIM, we are expressing Truth in all aspects of our life.  We are shining the Light and dispersing any and all darkness.

It is written by The Holy Spirit in Isaiah chapter 60 about the City of GOD:

18 Violence shall no longer be heard in your land, Neither wasting nor destruction within your borders; But you shall call your walls Salvation (The Blood of Jesus), And your gates Praise.

We can come to a place in the Presence of GOD where violence and destruction are just faint echoes from a distance, but they have no reality in the Presence of GOD.  The wall that surrounds the Presence of GOD is salvation.  There is only one way to GOD, and it is through The Blood of Christ… period!

All the gates have one title, which is praise.  No praise, no access.  It is the only way into the immediate Presence of GOD.

King David wrote by The Holy Spirit in Psalm chapter 22:

3 But You are Holy, Enthroned in the praises of Israel.

In other Words, You Who sit upon the praises of Israel.  When we praise GOD, we are building a Throne for HIM to come and take HIS place among us.  HE inhabits the Throne of our praises.

If you want to begin your morning with praise to HIM, speak forth Psalm 148 in its entirety.

The Key To Parables

Thursday, November 27th, 2025

There is a key parable that unlocks the rest of the parables!

Parables are given to illustrate Truth and conceal Truth.  The same story would hide Truth from those who are not ready to obey and reveal Truth to those who are.  It is the mercy of GOD to withhold insight, to withhold revelation, from the people who are not ready to obey. 

Increased revelation brings increased accountability and responsibility, therefore increasing their judgment.

Jesus spoke in Mark chapter 4:

13 And Jesus said to them, “Do you not understand this parable? How then will you understand all the parables?

Jesus just marked the parable of the seed and the sower as the key that unlocks all other parables.  Understanding this parable, positions you to understand the rest.

Why is this parable the key?  When you understand that The Word of GOD is not something that just is spoken, The Word of GOD is actually a Person.  Stewarding a Word is stewarding a relationship.  Instead of analyzing a specific Word, we surrender to a specific Person.

14 The sower sows the Word.

The seed is The Word of GOD.

15 And these are the ones by the wayside where the Word is sown. When they hear, Satan comes immediately and takes away the Word that was sown in their hearts.

Jesus explained in Matthew 13:19 “When anyone hears the Word of the Kingdom, and does not understand It, then the wicked one comes and snatches away what was sown in his heart. This is he who received Seed by the wayside.

Understanding is what enables Seed to penetrate soil.  The word understand actually means learning that takes place through the five senses.  What it says is that what GOD says has to be brought into practical human experience or it is laid open for the enemy to steal. 

For example, we can hear the message of “caring for the poor”; we can agree and say Amen, but if it is not brought into personal experience, the Life of that Word will actually be stolen.  The Seed has to bring us to action.

16 These likewise are the ones sown on stony ground who, when they hear the Word, immediately receive it with gladness;

17 and they have no root in themselves, and so endure only for a time. Afterward, when tribulation or persecution arises for the Word’s sake, immediately they stumble.

Difficulties and tribulations arise, i.e. wake up, for the sake of the Word that was spoken into your life.  The Word over your life needs to be opposed; it needs opposition.  Why?  It is because you need options.  If you don’t have options, there is no basis for reward.  Think about it.

It is written by The Holy Spirit 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.

Our diligence is rewarded.

If you have no root in yourself, it means that your “soil” is insufficiently nourished to allow The Word to root deeply in you.

Peter wrote by The Holy Spirit in his epistle 1st Peter chapter 2:

2 In the same way that nursing infants cry for milk, you must intensely crave the pure spiritual milk of God’s Word. For this “milk” will cause you to grow into maturity, fully nourished and strong for life—

Immature believers are easily intimated by the tribulations and persecutions that will come.  They allow the opposition to prevail versus standing on The Word that they have.  Their roots are plucked up along with The Word that was sown.  Once you have given over to the opposition, you have undermined The Word you have and have given authority to the inferior.

18 Now these are the ones sown among thorns; they are the ones who hear the Word,

19 and the cares of this world, the deceitfulness of riches, and the desires for other things entering in choke the Word, and It becomes unfruitful.

The word cares is made up of two words: the word divide and the word mind.  The cares of this world are those things that divide the mind… being doubleminded.

James warns us by The Holy Spirit in James chapter 1:

5 If any of you lacks Wisdom, let him ask of God, Who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him.

6 But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind.

7 For let not that man suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord;

8 he is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.

Riches are deceitful… they lie.  They are useful tools but horrible masters.  If your eyes are focused on money, the revelation of The Word cannot penetrate your heart.  The result will be darkness within you.  You cannot worship two gods at the same time.

GOD has given each of us the authority to choose what we’re going to feed our soul with, The Word or worldly cares, riches, and desires for other things.  You choose!  Don’t consider things that are unnecessary.  Don’t entertain ideas or thoughts that are draining, and you are constantly fighting a battle you weren’t designed for.

When you lend your authority to an inferior thing, it chokes the all-powerful thing which is The Word of GOD,

Finally, in Mark 4:

20 But these are the ones sown on good ground, those who hear The Word, accept It, and bear fruit: some thirtyfold, some sixty, and some a hundred.”

Jesus summarizes the key parable:

23 If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear.”

24 Then He said to them, “Take heed what you hear. With the same measure you use, it will be measured to you; and to you who hear, more will be given.

25 For whoever has, to him more will be given; but whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him.”

Be diligent to understand the meaning behind everything you hear, for as you do, more understanding will be given to you. And according to your longing to understand, much more will be added to you.  For those who listen with open hearts will receive more revelation. But those who don’t listen with open hearts will lose what little they think they have!

This is the key to your spiritual maturity.

The Crowd Or The Cloud

Wednesday, November 26th, 2025

Are you being led by The Cloud or by the crowd?

FATHER’S Glory Cloud led the children of Israel through the wilderness.  When He stopped, they stopped.  When He moved, they moved.

It is recorded by The Holy Spirit in Psalm chapter 78:

14 By day the moving Glory-Cloud led them forward. And all through the night the Fire-Cloud stood as a sentry of light.

The Cloud confirms, but the crowd confuses.

The people were complaining about the giants in the Promised Land even after they had experienced the miracle of being set free from the Egyptians.

Moses recorded by The Holy Spirit in Deuteronomy chapter 1:

31 and in the wilderness where you saw how the LORD Your God carried you, as a man carries his son, in all the way that you went until you came to this place.’

32 Yet, for all that, you did not believe the LORD your God,

33 Who went in the way before you to search out a place for you to pitch your tents, to show you the way you should go, in the Fire by night and in the Cloud by day.

How can you assess your faith without being tested?  It requires faith to take the path that The Holy Spirit directs you to take.  Be assured that the crowd will try to redirect your path.

Jesus spoke in Matthew chapter 7:

13 Enter through the narrow gate because the wide gate and broad path is the way that leads to destruction—nearly everyone chooses that crowded road!

14 The narrow gate and the difficult way leads to Eternal life—so few even find it!”

Why is it difficult to take the narrow path?  The crowd will try to influence you to their crowded road.  Consider Moses.

Moses also recorded by The Holy Spirit in Deuteronomy chapter 5:

23 “So it was, when you heard the Voice from the midst of the darkness, while the mountain was burning with Fire, that you came near to Me, all the heads of your tribes and your elders.

24 And you said: ‘Surely the LORD our God has shown us His glory and His greatness, and we have heard His Voice from the midst of the Fire. We have seen this day that God speaks with man; yet he still lives.

25 Now therefore, why should we die? For this great Fire will consume us; if we hear the Voice of the LORD Our God anymore, then we shall die.

26 For who is there of all flesh who has heard the Voice of the Living God speaking from the midst of the Fire, as we have, and lived?

27 You go near and hear all that the LORD Our God may say, and tell us all that the LORD Our God says to you, and we will hear and do it.’

If you are willing to surrender to the Holy Fire, you will be able to stand in the Presence of GOD.  Is it better to hear HIM directly or get a secondhand interpretation of what HE is saying?

King David recorded by The Holy Spirit in Psalm chapter 103:

7 HE made known His ways to Moses, HIS acts to the children of Israel.

We must not be afraid to follow the leading of The Holy Spirit and surrender all to Him.  It is the crowd that tries to bring pressure, but it is the Cloud that brings HIS Presence.

Ascending To His Presence

Tuesday, November 25th, 2025

Are you committed to ascending to the Presence of THE LORD?

The majority of believers simply want to live a peaceful life without any issues.  However, when Jesus began His ministry, He was led to the wilderness and confronted the adversary to be tested.

King David recorded by The Holy Spirit in Psalm chapter 24:

3 Who may ascend into the hill of the LORD? Or who may stand in His Holy Place?

4 He who has clean hands and a pure heart, Who has not lifted up his soul to an idol, Nor sworn deceitfully.

In other Words, those who are clean—whose works and ways are pure, whose hearts are true and sealed by the Truth, those who never deceive, whose words are sure.

One benefit of being in His Presence is the fullness of joy.

Also 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 Dide I experience Divine pleasures forevermore!

When you get into that manifest Presence of GOD, you don’t want to leave, nothing else matters.  As a result, you begin to pray with boldness, and with power and authority.  This will allow you to minister for THE LORD beyond your natural capabilities.  This is my quest, and I trust it is yours as well.  I have had “incidents:” of this but not with consistency.

Power is generated through consistent prayer.  We don’t pray to earn something, we pray to host something, to burn with something.  We are partnering with The Holy Spirit.  We are co-laborers with GOD.  As I pray in The Holy Spirit, I am strengthening my inner man.

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in 1st Corinthians chapter 14:

4 The one who speaks in Tongues advances his own spiritual progress, while the one who prophesies builds up the church.

And in Ephesians chapter 3:

14 For this reason I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,

15 from whom the whole family in Heaven and earth is named,

16 that He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with might through His Spirit in the inner man,

What happens when this strengthening occurs?

Paul writes by The Holy Spirit in 1 Corinthians chapter 12:

6 The same God distributes different kinds of miracles that accomplish different results through each believer’s gift and ministry as He energizes and activates them.

7 Each believer is given continuous revelation by the Holy Spirit to benefit not just himself but all.

8 For example: The Spirit gives to one the gift of the Word of Wisdom. To another, the same Spirit gives the gift of the Word of revelation knowledge.

9 And to another, the same Spirit gives the gift of faith. And to another, the same Spirit gives gifts of healing.

10 And to another the power to work miracles. And to another the gift of prophecy. And to another the gift to discern what the Spirit is speaking. And to another the gift of speaking different kinds of Tongues. And to another the gift of interpretation of Tongues.

11 Remember, it is the same Holy Spirit Who distributes, activates, and operates these different gifts as He chooses for each believer.

Don’t limit yourself to operating in only one gift.  The Holy Spirit determines what gift is needed based on the situation.  Be open to being used as HE directs.  We must tap into the Power Source on the inside of us.

Your foundation will be tested and reveal your spiritual state.

Jesus spoke in Matthew chapter 7:

24 “Everyone who hears My teaching and applies it to his life can be compared to a wise man who built his house on an unshakable foundation.

25 When the rains fell and the flood came, with fierce winds beating upon his house, it stood firm because of its strong foundation.

26 “But everyone who hears my teaching and does not apply it to his life can be compared to a foolish man who built his house on sand.

27 When it rained and rained and the flood came, with wind and waves beating upon his house, it collapsed and was swept away.”

You can’t tell the difference between the two houses until the storms come.

Are you counted among the wise or the foolish?  The trials and testings will reveal your current level of spiritual maturity.  The more time you spend praying in THE SPIRIT, the stronger your foundation.

Anything that has preeminence to the Presence of GOD is an idol.  Idols are not allowed in the Presence of GOD.

If you have an idol, your foundation will be shaky.  Whatever we prioritize more than HIM is an idol.  The Holy Spirit will reveal any idol in your life, and you are to lay it down at the altar and repent before THE LORD.  Confront it, confess it, release it before GOD, and say, “Jesus I want Your fire in my life.”  We must remove everything that is not of Him including our self-reliance.

Ascending to the Presence of GOD should be our top priority!

Paul’s Warning Against Unholiness

Monday, November 24th, 2025

In that last days, men will be unthankful to GOD!

What does it mean to be full Gospel versus two-thirds Gospel?  GOD is triune: THE FATHER, THE SON, and THE HOLY SPIRIT.  How many church services include the teaching and ministry of The Holy Spirit?

In the early church, the ministry of The Holy Spirit was widespread, beginning in Acts chapter 2 and other references were recorded.  Paul had to correct the Corinthian church and establish the proper order of the gifts of The Holy Spirit during their assembly.  How many churches today allow the gifts of The Holy Spirit to operate within their building?

Let’s refer back to Paul’s warning of what the last days would look like.

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

1 But you need to be aware that in the final days the culture of society will become extremely fierce.

2 People will be self-centered lovers of themselves and obsessed with money. They will boast of great things as they strut around in their arrogant pride and mock all that is right. They will ignore their own families. They will be ungrateful and ungodly.

3 They will become addicted to hateful and malicious slander. Slaves to their desires, they will be ferocious, belligerent haters of what is good and right.

4 With brutal treachery, they will act without restraint, bigoted and wrapped in clouds of their conceit. They will find their delight in the pleasures of this world more than the pleasures of the Loving God.

If you are ungrateful to GOD, you will also be ungodly.  Your focus will move away from Holiness and focus on the pleasures of the world.

5 They may pretend to have a respect for God, but in reality, they want nothing to do with God’s power. Stay away from people like these!

They may ask GOD or Jesus to heal someone, but they disregard the Words of Jesus in the Great Commission commanding us to heal the sick by the power of The Holy Spirit, in Jesus’ Name.

6 For they are the ones who worm their way into the hearts of vulnerable women, spending the night with those who are captured by their lusts and steeped in sin.

7 They are always learning but never discover the revelation-knowledge of Truth.

You can get a degree in Religious Studies and become a minister or chaplain, but without The Holy Spirit, you are simply puffed up with knowledge.  You have achieved a form of godliness but are denying its power.

How many churches are restricting their services to 25 minutes of “worship”, 5 minutes of activities announcements, and 30 minutes for a short sermon?  How many churches teach on Acts chapter 2, 1st Corinthians chapter 12 and 14?

What is the opposite of being thankful?  It is murmuring. 

In Scripture, “murmuring” is low-voiced complaining, grumbling, or discontent, often directed at God or leaders, and it is condemned as a sin that shows a lack of gratitude and faith. This behavior is seen as a form of rebellion, as demonstrated by the Israelites’ constant complaints against God and Moses in the wilderness. Murmuring is associated with creating discord, undermining authority, and leading to serious consequences, as seen in examples like the destruction of those who murmured against God. 

Paul warns us and provides an example as he wrote by The Holy Spirit in 1st Corinthians chapter 10:

1 My dear fellow believers, you need to understand that all of our Jewish ancestors who walked through a wilderness long ago were under the glory cloud and passed through the waters of the sea on both sides.

2 They were all baptized into the cloud of glory, into the fellowship of Moses, and into the sea.

3 They all ate the same Heavenly manna

4 and drank water from the same Spiritual Rock that traveled with them—and that Rock was Christ Himself.

5 Yet God was not pleased with most of them, and their dead bodies were scattered around the wilderness.

6 Now, all these things serve as types and pictures for us—lessons that teach us not to fail in the same way by callously craving worthless things

7 and practicing idolatry, as some of them did. For it is written: The people settled in to their unrestrained revelry, with feasting and drinking, then they rose up and became wildly out of control!

8 Neither should we commit sexual immorality, as some of them did, which caused the death of twenty-three thousand on a single day.

9 Nor should we ever provoke the Lord, as some of them did by putting Him to outrageous tests that resulted in their death from snakebites day after day.

10 And we must not embrace their ways by complaining—grumbling with discontent, as many of them did, and were killed by the destroyer!

They were murmuring against THE LORD.

11 All the tests they endured on their way through the wilderness are a symbolic picture, an example that provides us with a warning so that we can learn through what they experienced. For we live in a time when the purpose of all the ages past is now completing its goal within us.

12 So beware if you think it could never happen to you, lest your pride becomes your downfall.

We must not disregard the signs of the times and allow ourselves to be satisfied with a watered-down Gospel designed to tickle our ears and make us feel good about ourselves as we do nothing to truly further The Kingdom here on earth.

Let us be continuously thankful to Our Heavenly Father and allow The Holy Spirit to lead us each day.

Without Thanksgiving

Sunday, November 23rd, 2025

Without thanksgiving, the gate to GOD’S Presence is inaccessible!

What happens to society when they are no longer thankful for all that GOD has done?  Paul provides us the details of what we will observe.

Paul recorded by The Holy Spirit in Romans chapter 1:

18 For the wrath of God is revealed from Heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the Truth in unrighteousness,

19 because what may be known of God is manifest in them, for God has shown it to them.

20 For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His Eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse,

21 because, although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened.

22 Professing to be wise, they became fools,

When we cease being thankful, we are starting on a downward, slippery path.  If you start down that path, it is hard to turn around and make your way back up again.

The Holy Spirit found it necessary to provide us with much detail of this slippery slope once men have turned away from their Creator.  It is important to view this list with what is going on today.

24 This is why God lifted off His restraining Hand and let them have full expression of their sinful and shameful desires. They were given over to moral depravity, dishonoring their bodies by sexual perversion among themselves—

25 all because they traded the Truth of God for a lie. They worshiped and served the things God made rather than the God who made all things—glory and praises to Him forever and ever! Amen!

26-27 For this reason God gave them over to their own disgraceful and vile passions. Enflamed with lust for one another, men and women ignored the natural order and exchanged normal sexual relations for homosexuality. Women engaged in lesbian conduct, and men committed shameful acts with men, receiving in themselves the due penalty for their deviation.

28 And because they thought it was worthless to embrace the true knowledge of God, God gave them over to a worthless mind-set, to break all rules of proper conduct.

29 Their sinful lives became full of every kind of evil, wicked schemes, greed, and cruelty. Their hearts overflowed with jealous cravings, and with conflict and strife, which drove them into hateful arguments and murder. They are deceitful liars full of hostility. They are gossips

30 who love to spread malicious slander. With inflated egos they hurl hateful insults at God, yet they are nothing more than arrogant boasters. They are rebels against their parents and totally immoral.

31 They are senseless, faithless, ruthless, heartless, and completely merciless.

32 Although they are fully aware of God’s laws and proper order, and knowing that those who do all of these things deserve to die, yet they still go headlong into darkness, encouraging others to do the same and applauding them when they do!

What an indictment of where much of society is today!  Do you think that FATHER is unaware of the seriousness of this situation?  Is there judgment around the corner?

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

1 But you need to be aware that in the final days the culture of society will become extremely fierce.

2 People will be self-centered lovers of themselves and obsessed with money. They will boast of great things as they strut around in their arrogant pride and mock all that is right. They will ignore their own families. They will be ungrateful and ungodly.

3 They will become addicted to hateful and malicious slander. Slaves to their desires, they will be ferocious, belligerent haters of what is good and right.

4 With brutal treachery, they will act without restraint, bigoted and wrapped in clouds of their conceit. They will find their delight in the pleasures of this world more than the pleasures of the Loving God.

5 They may pretend to have a respect for God, but in reality they want nothing to do with God’s power. Stay away from people like these!

6 For they are the ones who worm their way into the hearts of vulnerable women, spending the night with those who are captured by their lusts and steeped in sin.

7 They are always learning but never discover the revelation-knowledge of Truth.

The lists above confirm that we are in the final days.  It is critical that we not allow ourselves to be swayed by society but instead, we move closer to Our Heavenly Father Who will protect us as judgment comes forth.  Let us be thankful at all times.

The Holy Spirit has sufficiently warned us of the alternative and its ramifications.

The Door Of Thankfulness

Saturday, November 22nd, 2025

By thanksgiving, we open a door to restoration!

Luke recorded by The Holy Spirit in Luke chapter 17:

11 Now it happened as Jesus went to Jerusalem that He passed through the midst of Samaria and Galilee.

12 Then as He entered a certain village, there met Him ten men who were lepers, who stood afar off.

13 And they lifted up their voices and said, “Jesus, Master, have mercy on us!”

14 So when He saw them, He said to them, “Go, show yourselves to the priests.” And so it was that as they went, they were cleansed.

On the way, you will be healed.

15 And one of them, when he saw that he was healed, returned, and with a loud voice glorified God,

16 and fell down on his face at His feet, giving Him thanks. And he was a Samaritan.

He was not a Jew but that didn’t matter to Jesus.

17 So Jesus answered and said, “Were there not ten cleansed? But where are the nine?

18 Were there not any found who returned to give glory to God except this foreigner?”

19 Then Jesus said to the healed man lying at his feet, “Arise and go. It was your faith that brought you salvation and made you whole.”

All ten were cleansed but only the one who returned to give thanks was saved.  Each had a physical healing but only one received the Eternal spiritual healing of salvation.  He was the only one who came close to Jesus.  Without thanksgiving, we have no access to GOD.

Thanksgiving is the key that unlocks the supernatural miracle power of GOD.

The Beloved Disciple recorded the feeding of the 5,000 by The Holy Spirit in John chapter 6:

8 One of His disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother, said to Him,

9 “There is a lad here who has five barley loaves and two small fish, but what are they among so many?”

10 Then Jesus said, “Make the people sit down.” Now there was much grass in the place. So the men sat down, in number about five thousand.

11 And Jesus took the loaves, and when He had given thanks to GOD, He distributed them to the disciples, and the disciples to those sitting down; and likewise of the fish, as much as they wanted.

12 So when they were filled, He said to His disciples, “Gather up the fragments that remain, so that nothing is lost.”

13 Therefore they gathered them up, and filled twelve baskets with the fragments of the five barley loaves which were left over by those who had eaten.

14 Then those men, when they had seen the sign that Jesus did, said, “This is truly the Prophet who is to come into the world.”

Jesus didn’t pray and ask GOD to do anything.  He simply gave thanks to GOD for what He had in His Hand.

John mentioned this again in the same chapter:

23 however, other boats came from Tiberias, near the place where they ate bread after the Lord had given thanks–

The miracle was released, not by some long prayer, but instead by giving thanks to THE FATHER.  Many times, we miss out on the power of GOD simply we don’t release it by giving thanks to HIM.

In John chapter 11, Jesus went to raise Lazarus from the dead:

38 Then Jesus, again groaning in Himself, came to the tomb. It was a cave, and a stone lay against it.

39 Jesus said, “Take away the stone.” Martha, the sister of him who was dead, said to Him, “Lord, by this time there is a stench, for he has been dead four days.”

40 Jesus said to her, “Did I not say to you that if you would believe you would see the glory of God?”

41 Then they took away the stone from the place where the dead man was lying. And Jesus lifted up His Eyes and said, “Father, I thank You that You have heard Me.

42 And I know that You always hear Me, but because of the people who are standing by I said this, that they may believe that You sent Me.”

43 Now when He had said these things, He cried with a loud voice, “Lazarus, come forth!”

44 And he who had died came out bound hand and foot with graveclothes, and his face was wrapped with a cloth. Jesus said to them, “Loose him, and let him go.”

Jesus spoke forth thankfulness before He fed the five thousand and raised Lazarus from the dead.  He revealed a Truth that each of us should embrace.  Be thankful in everything and the door will be opened to you.
