FATHER spoke in Exodus chapter 23:
25 “So you shall serve the LORD your God, and He will bless your bread and your water. And I will take sickness away from the midst of you.
26 No one shall suffer miscarriage or be barren in your land; I will fulfill the number of your days.”
FATHER’S Heart is the same yesterday, today, and forever. HIS Love for us is no different now from when HE first spoke the above Word to the Israelites. HE has the same commitment and desire for you and me as HE did for every person who first heard HIS Word.
Is it drudgery to “serve” FATHER? Not when you do it out of Love for HIM. The conflict arises when your ego wants to take control with selfish ambition. Ambition is a strong desire to do or to achieve something, typically requiring determination and hard work but when you add “selfish’, your desire to achieve typically is at the expense of another. Man’s carnal nature will substitute the blessing from Above with selfish ambition hoping to achieve similar results.
Do we really trust FATHER’S Word in the area of blessing and health? I have found that as I rest in HIM, peace comes forth and the flow of blessing and health are no longer hindered. As I quiet my soul and nourish my spirit by dwelling on HIS Word and Love for me, a peace beyond understanding comes over me and I am not moved by events surrounding me. As you and I walk in this manner, we encourage blessing and healing to come forth on our behalf for we no longer restrict the flow.
Unbelief is the biggest hindrance to receiving from FATHER. The world throws out so many alternatives to FATHER’S Word and all are poor substitutions. The Beloved Disciple wrote by THE SPIRIT in John chapter 1:
12 But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name:
13 who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
We have been given a simple and direct path to Our Heavenly Father through Our Lord Jesus Christ. This path is not a complex set of instructions wrapped with a multitude of tasks and traditions. There is no special place to travel to in order to receive eternal life. FATHER meets us where we are at in all aspects of our relationship with HIM. Does HE need some special sacrifice from us in order to get and retain HIS attention? No. Man’s carnal mind would have us jump through hoops in order to receive the free gift of salvation. Man would like to package it and sell it for a fee if possible. The only requirement to receive from FATHER is to believe HIS Word.
Paul wrote by THE SPIRIT in Romans chapter 10:
9 that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.
10 For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
11 For the Scripture says, “Whoever believes on Him will not be put to shame.”
12 For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek, for the same Lord over all is rich to all who call upon Him.
13 For “whoever calls on the name of the LORD shall be saved.(sōzō)”
This word sōzō means to save, keep safe and sound, to rescue from danger or destruction; to save a suffering one (from perishing), i.e. one suffering from disease, to make well, heal, restore to health; to preserve one who is in danger of destruction, to save or rescue. Is this commitment from FATHER to good to be true? Absolutely not! Let us contemplate the impact of the above passages until these Truths become “first nature” in us and we expect the fullness of these commitments by FATHER to be fully applicable and operational in our lives. Let no unbelief enter in.
