What is our mandate this year? It is found in the Words of Jesus in Luke chapter 11:
11 One day, as Jesus was in prayer, one of his disciples came over to him as he finished and said, “Would you teach us a model prayer that we can pray, just like John did for his disciples?”
2 So Jesus taught them this prayer: “Our heavenly Father, may the glory of your name be the center on which our life turns. May your Holy Spirit come upon us and cleanse us. Manifest your kingdom on earth. 3 And give us our needed bread for the coming day. 4 Forgive our sins as we ourselves release forgiveness to those who have wronged us. And rescue us every time we face tribulations.”
Jesus stated what their expectation should be when they prayed: Cleansed, sifted, and pure hearts by The Holy Spirit, then manifest FATHER’S Kingdom on earth. This should be our priority in the same order and all else is of limited or no value in us becoming mature Sons and Daughters. Every task we accomplish in our daily lives should never be far or disconnected from our mandate. We need to “walk the walk”, not just “talk the talk”.
After His resurrection, Jesus once again stated the above priority to the disciples in Mark chapter 16:
14 Then Jesus appeared before the eleven apostles as they were eating a meal. He corrected them for having such hard, unbelieving hearts because they did not believe those who saw him after his resurrection.
The very first thing He had to do was to expose and correct their unbelief. Are you and I in this category? Is unbelief limiting us from establishing His Kingdom on earth? Jesus gave us a clear and simple mandate but man has diluted this mandate with unbelief and limiting doctrines. Failure is not an option in Heaven. How many times did Jesus tell the disciples what to expect when He went to Jerusalem? They spent 3 ½ years with Him seeing miracles from Heaven yet their hearts were hardened with unbelief. After correcting them He spoke:
15 And he said to them, “As you go into all the world, preach openly the wonderful news of the gospel to the entire human race! 16 Whoever believes the good news and is baptized will be saved, and whoever does not believe the good news will be condemned. 17 And these miracle signs will accompany those who believe: They will drive out demons in the power of my name. They will speak in tongues. 18 They will be supernaturally protected from snakes and from drinking anything poisonous. And they will lay hands on the sick and heal them.”
You and I have the same mandate but if our hearts are hardened with unbelief, we will do nothing concerning this mandate. Yes, we may mentally accept His Words but until unbelief is removed, we will simply be passive observers at best. What was the next topic Jesus covered after directing the disciples to pray? He further spoke in Luke chapter 11:
5 Then Jesus gave this illustration: “Imagine what would happen if you were to go to one of your friends in the middle of the night and pound on his door and shout, ‘Please! Do you have some food you can spare? 6 A friend just arrived at my house unexpectedly and I have nothing to serve him.’ 7 But your friend says, ‘Why are you bothering me? The door’s locked and my family and I are all in bed. Do you expect me to get up and give you our food?’ 8 But listen—because of your shameless impudence, even though it’s the middle of the night, your friend will get up out of his bed and give you all that you need. 9–10 So it is with your prayers. Ask and you’ll receive. Seek and you’ll discover. Knock on heaven’s door, and it will one day open for you. Every persistent person will get what he asks for. Every persistent seeker will discover what he needs. And everyone who knocks persistently will one day find an open door.
One who is persistent will get what he asks for. Our persistence conveys our belief and trust in FATHER’S Word. The word “try” is not in the vocabulary in Heaven and it is not written in your book written by FATHER (Psalm 139:16). As we are persistent, our book will be fully revealed and those angels who are assigned to administer the contents of those books will be activated on our behalf. Don’t allow unbelief to keep the contents of your book kept from you. As you are persistent and establish faith IN GOD, the pages of your book will become available to you.
Do you think FATHER would write your book and fail to set assign resources to accomplish what you are to fulfill? The adversary knows that if your unbelief keeps those resources from being dispatched, your mind will stay convinced of the “scarcity doctrine” and rationalize why you can’t fulfill the mandate given to us by Jesus. Your heart will be hardened in this area and you will defend this belief by discounting any teaching concerning FATHER’S willingness to prosper us as we establish HIS Kingdom on earth.
The year 2020 will force a reckoning of where we all stand concerning the mandate to establish FATHER’S Kingdom on earth. We will individually be asked, “What did you do with what was available to you?” “Did you hide your light under a bushel?”
The adversary has promoted the excuse “Money is the root of all evil” and many believers have bought into this half truth as justification for their unbelief in the area of financial blessing. This year, I plan to deal with this error even though it will surely offend some. Why would FATHER use me to deal with this sensitive subject? I have had the revelation of blessing and prosperity for decades, trusting and relying on HIM. Many of the five-fold ministries unfortunately rely on your giving to keep them afloat. I don’t thus I don’t have to be reluctant to share what The Holy Spirit wants me to write. My wife and I give to Servias Ministries as well as other areas as many of you do. Jesus lost followers when He spoke about finances. The rich young ruler in Matthew 19 was one. Greed is one of the core areas exposed in people’s hearts because the world constant promotes the falsehood of scarcity on earth.
By the way, the census conducted years ago which included a silver coin, continues to be in safekeeping in the Treasury of THE LORD until HE directs us to deploy it. All coins are accounted for and none have been removed. Those coins are separated and Holy and will remain in the Treasury until deployment.
If you don’t believe you can be one of those who fund the Kingdom of Our Heavenly Father, you won’t! If you have no expectation of financial blessing, the windows of Heaven will remain closed in that area. If you have no expectation of healing, those same windows will remain shut. We need to have faith IN GOD which means we need to trust in HIS Word in all areas if we are to fulfill HIS mandate on earth.
The immature will probably get offended by some of the Truths which will come forth this year. It only reveals where their hearts are. Now is the time to step up and establish the Kingdom on earth… your resources and finances are included in HIS mandate. It will require great faith and complete trust in FATHER’S Word. Many are called but few are chosen. These blogs are directed to chose who wish to be chosen. Let’s not simply be observers of what FATHER is doing on earth. Let you and I be counted among the chosen, without restriction or hesitation.
