Possessing His Nature

December 17th, 2023

We are to be possessors of the Nature of Jesus Christ!

We should be Christ in character, Christ in demonstration, and Christ in agency of transmission.

Jesus spoke in John chapter 5:

30  I can of Myself do nothing. As I hear, I judge; and My judgment is righteous, because I do not seek My Own Will but the Will of the Father Who sent Me.

Jesus did not speak or act independently of FATHER’S Will.  We are called to walk in like manner.  The majority of Christians do not see this as vital in their daily lives.  If they did, we would not have the social issues we are now facing.  The priorities of government would be different.  Social perversion could not fund its tactics.  However, there is a remnant who have not bowed to Baal.

And in John chapter 6:

38 For I have come down from Heaven, not to do My own Will, but the Will of Him Who sent Me.

Jesus reemphasized the fact that He solely represents FATHER and His power and authority were clear confirmations of His walk.  An immature believer is challenged in that the adversary will try to divert his or her attention from becoming mature in Christ.  The adversary’s methods are subtle and are not easily seen.  Social media is one such method used to divert focus.

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

1  Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God; because many false prophets have gone out into the world.

2 By this you know the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is of God,

If a “prophet” does not confess Jesus as his LORD and Savior, run the other way.

3 and every spirit that does not confess that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is not of God. And this is the spirit of the antichrist, which you have heard was coming, and is now already in the world.

4 You are of God, little children, and have overcome them, because He Who is in you is greater than he who is in the world.

Jesus is not sitting on some distant throne; He is in you and me.  False prophets tickle your ears and tell you what would appeal to your natural man.

5 They are of the world. Therefore they speak as of the world, and the world hears them.

I see this all the time in the financial arena.  YouTube is filled with man’s opinions about the future.  Some will tell you that the stock market is going up next year and some will swear that it is going down.  Therefore, half will be right and will convince you to follow them… and pay for their subscriptions.  Even a blind squirrel can find a nut every now and then.

6 We are of God. He who knows God hears us; he who is not of God does not hear us. By this we know the spirit of Truth and the spirit of error.

Those who are truly motivated by Love, seek to express Truth in all areas to benefit all.  We need The Holy Spirit to allow us to discern intent.  This requires us to be sensitive on a daily basis.  This can only be accomplished by continuous fellowship with The Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

7 Beloved, let us Love one another, for Love is of God; and everyone who Loves is born of God and knows God.

8 He who does not Love does not know God, for God is Love.

Our primary motivation should always be Love for Love is His core Nature!

Moving Toward Maturity

December 16th, 2023

We are meant to pursue the deeper revelations in our walk with GOD!

The writings of this site are meant to take the reader beyond the milk of The Word and continue on to the meat of The Word.  Who would you trust to steward your assets, a child, or a mature, reliable, and trustworthy adult?

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Hebrews chapter 5:

12  For though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you again the first principles of the oracles of God; and you have come to need milk and not solid food.

13 For everyone who partakes only of milk is unskilled in the Word of righteousness, for he is a babe.

14 But solid food belongs to those who are of full age, that is, those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.

In other words, solid food is for the mature, whose spiritual senses perceive Heavenly matters. And they have been adequately trained by what they’ve experienced to emerge with an understanding of the difference between what is truly excellent and what is evil and harmful.  They are not blinded by the appeal of the world and its trappings (aka: snares).

The spiritually immature are easily scammed by nefarious individuals who are the epitome of lawlessness.  Why?  It is because they do not hear The Holy Spirit in all areas.  Their walk is somewhat inconsistent which leads to soulishness.  I know firsthand from interactions with various individuals who supposedly had my best interest at heart.  I was wrong and had to repent of my error in judgment and discernment.  Sadly, those lessons came with a cost.  Thankfully, FATHER is in the restoration business.

Continued in chapter 6:

1  Therefore, leaving the discussion of the elementary principles of Christ, let us go on to perfection, not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works and of faith toward God,

2 of the doctrine of baptisms, of laying on of hands, of resurrection of the dead, and of Eternal judgment.

3 And this we will do if God permits.

Those who have followed these writings will hopefully have no questions related to these foundational Truths.

4 For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted the Heavenly gift, and have become partakers of the Holy Spirit,

5 and have tasted the good Word of God and the powers of the age to come,

6 if they fall away, to renew them again to repentance, since they crucify again for themselves the Son of God, and put Him to an open shame.

7 For the earth which drinks in the rain that often comes upon it, and bears herbs useful for those by whom it is cultivated, receives blessing from God;

8 but if it bears thorns and briers, it is rejected and near to being cursed, whose end is to be burned.

I have seen people fall away from The Truth and it saddens me that they became blinded to the reality of walking in GOD’S ways.  They allowed themselves to be swayed by men’s teachings that tickled their ears.

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in 2nd Timothy chapter 4:

1  I charge you therefore before God and the Lord Jesus Christ, Who will judge the living and the dead at His appearing and His Kingdom:

2 Preach the Word! Be ready in season and out of season. Convince, rebuke, exhort, with all longsuffering and teaching.

3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers;

4 and they will turn their ears away from the Truth, and be turned aside to fables.

5 But you be watchful in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry.

The time is coming when those who are not grounded in The Word, will no longer listen and respond to the healing Words of Truth because they will become selfish and proud. They will seek out teachers with soothing words that line up with their desires, saying just what they want to hear.

You must not allow temporary relationships to take you off course, even by one degree!

Kids In Need Update

December 15th, 2023

We have continued providing kids with essentials and food. A number of coats were purchased and handed out to those without. Thank you!!!

Here is one testimony of a villager in need:

This teacher has had the same Villager for 3 years and always goes above and beyond for him! Today is Pajama Day at school. She got him pajamas that matched hers….which he is pretending to hate, but we all know he secretly loves! He has been going around school all day telling everyone that he is twins with Mrs. Compton today!

Just one example of how our gifts of Love impact those kids!

Shaking Is Coming

December 15th, 2023

Will FATHER be well pleased with us as HE shakes the world kingdoms?

Will you be found occupying or be preoccupied with the harpazo?

Jesus speaks in Luke chapter 19:

11  Now as they heard these things, Jesus spoke another parable, because He was near Jerusalem and because they thought the Kingdom of God would appear immediately.

12 Therefore He said: “A certain Nobleman went into a far country to receive for Himself a Kingdom and to return.

13 So He called ten of his servants, delivered to them ten minas, and said to them, ‘Do business till I come.’

Or as the KJV version says, “Occupy till I come.”

14 But his citizens hated Him, and sent a delegation after Him, saying, ‘We will not have this man to reign over us.’

15 “And so it was that when He returned, having received the Kingdom, He then commanded these servants, to whom He had given the money, to be called to Him, that He might know how much every man had gained by trading.

16 Then came the first, saying, ‘Master, Your mina has earned ten minas.’

17 And He said to him, ‘Well done, good servant; because you were faithful in a very little, have authority over ten cities.’

18 And the second came, saying, ‘Master, Your mina has earned five minas.’

19 Likewise He said to him, ‘You also be over five cities.’

20 “Then another came, saying, ‘Master, here is Your mina, which I have kept put away in a handkerchief.

21 For I feared You, because you are an austere man. You collect what you did not deposit, and reap what you did not sow.’

22 And he said to him, ‘Out of your own mouth I will judge you, you wicked servant. You knew that I was an austere man, collecting what I did not deposit and reaping what I did not sow.

23 Why then did you not put my money in the bank, that at my coming I might have collected it with interest?’

24 “And he said to those who stood by, ‘Take the mina from him, and give it to him who has ten minas.’

25 (But they said to Him, ‘Master, he has ten minas.’)

26 ‘For I say to you, that to everyone who has will be given; and from him who does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him.

27 But bring here those enemies of mine, who did not want me to reign over them, and slay them before me.'”

By all accounts, the shaking has begun around the globe.

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Hebrews 12:

25  See that you do not refuse Him Who speaks. For if they did not escape who refused Him Who spoke on earth, much more shall we not escape if we turn away from Him who speaks from Heaven,

26  Whose Voice then shook the earth; but now He has promised, saying, “Yet once more I shake not only the earth, but also heaven.”

27 Now this, “Yet once more,” indicates the removal of those things that are being shaken, as of things that are made, that the things which cannot be shaken may remain.

28 Therefore, since we are receiving a Kingdom which cannot be shaken, let us have grace, by which we may serve God acceptably with reverence and Godly fear.

29 For our God is a Consuming Fire.

A promise is by nature positive whereas a judgment is negative.

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Colossians chapter 1:

15  He is the Image of the invisible God, the Firstborn over all creation.

16 For by Him all things were created that are in Heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through Him and for Him.

17 And He is before all things, and in Him all things consist.

18 And He is the Head of the Body, the church, Who is the beginning, the Firstborn from the dead, that in all things He may have the preeminence.

19 For it pleased the Father that in Him all the fullness should dwell,

20 and by Him to reconcile all things to Himself, by Him, whether things on earth or things in heaven, having made peace through the Blood of His cross.

His Kingdom is above all present kingdoms of the world.  Therefore, those kingdoms will ultimately submit to His Kingdom one way or another.  Kingdoms which are not His, will fall since they were built on wood, hay, and stubble.

Jesus further spoke in Luke chapter 21:

25  “And there will be signs in the sun, in the moon, and in the stars; and on the earth distress of nations, with perplexity, the sea and the waves roaring;

26 men’s hearts failing them from fear and the expectation of those things which are coming on the earth, for the powers of the heavens will be shaken.

27 Then they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.

28 Now when these things begin to happen, look up and lift up your heads, because your redemption draws near.”

Don’t be scared, be prepared!  This shaking is a promise and those of us who built our foundations on The Rock will weather such shaking.

Fulfilling All Righteousness

December 14th, 2023

Will FATHER be well pleased with us in all areas?

Jesus is our Perfect Example of satisfying FATHER’S expectations in all areas.

Matthew recorded by The Holy Spirit in the Gospel of Matthew chapter 3:

13  Then Jesus came from Galilee to John at the Jordan to be baptized by him.

14 And John tried to prevent Him, saying, “I need to be baptized by You, and are You coming to me?”

15 But Jesus answered and said to him, “Permit it to be so now, for thus it is fitting for us to fulfill all righteousness.” Then he allowed Him.

16 When He had been baptized, Jesus came up immediately from the water; and behold, the Heavens were opened to Him, and He saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and alighting upon Him.

17 And suddenly a Voice came from Heaven, saying, “This is My Beloved Son, in Whom I am well pleased.”

Jesus physically submitted His Body to fulfill all righteousness and FATHER immediately affirmed this physical act of submission.  His Body was not excluded from the righteous requirements needed to fulfill His earthly ministry.

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in 2nd Corinthians 9:

6  But this I say: He who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and he who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully.

7 So let each one give as he purposes in his heart, not grudgingly or of necessity; for God loves a cheerful giver.

8 And God is able to make all grace abound toward you, that you, always having all sufficiency in all things, may have an abundance for every good work.

9 As it is written: “He has dispersed abroad, He has given to the poor; His righteousness endures forever.”

This passage is often used to focus on the law of financial distribution to the poor.  Yes, it is appropriate.  However, it goes beyond the financial area.  If we give over our body sparingly, our physical impact will be affected by this restriction.  Jesus fully submitted to walk in righteousness: spirit, soul, AND body.

Christians haven’t been taught to commit their bodies to GOD, and the result is that they feel justified in committing them to someone else or something else, rather than to FATHER.

To whom do you want to submit your body?  We are meant to separate ourselves for FATHER’S purpose in all areas.  This can be a great challenge due to the lack of past teaching and understanding in this area.  It may seem nearly impossible for the young believer to embrace.  Isn’t it all about personal priorities?

FATHER will Love us no matter what state of maturity we walk in.  As well, our fruitfulness is an expression of our Love for HIM.  HIS Love is without conditions of our performance.  After all, FATHER did not wait for the world to become righteous before HE sent His Beloved Son.

A father loves his infant as much as his grown son.  His love for his children is independent of their current state of maturity.  However, will the grown son please his father by his acts?

Our maturity extends to our bodies as well as our spirit and soul.  Let us not omit the physical aspect of our being.  We should ask FATHER to show us how to fulfill all righteousness in our bodies as we walk out our callings.  Our fruitfulness will be a testimony to others- good or bad.

FATHER’S Expectations

December 13th, 2023

What does FATHER expect of HIS mature sons and daughters?

People wonder why, after giving their hearts to GOD and having the witness of The Holy Spirit, that they are still troubled with evil desires and tempted in evil ways.  The nature and the body have three departments, so the surrender of the spirit to GOD is not all that HE demands.

The mind is the soul life, and it continues being natural.  It keeps doing earthy things until GOD does something to that mind… until we seek GOD for a new mind.

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Ephesians chapter 4:

17  This I say, therefore, and testify in the Lord, that you should no longer walk as the rest of the Gentiles walk, in the futility of their mind,

18 having their understanding darkened, being alienated from the Life of God, because of the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart;

19 who, being past feeling, have given themselves over to lewdness, to work all uncleanness with greediness.

20 But you have not so learned Christ,

21 if indeed you have heard Him and have been taught by Him, as the Truth is in Jesus:

22 that you put off, concerning your former conduct, the old man which grows corrupt according to the deceitful lusts,

23 and be renewed in the spirit of your mind,

24 and that you put on the new man which was created according to God, in true righteousness and Holiness.

We are to actively put off our former conduct AND put on the new man, renewing our minds to the Truth, and walking in true righteousness and Holiness!

Jesus spoke in John chapter 17:

16  They are not of the world, just as I am not of the world.

17 Sanctify them by Your Truth. Your Word is Truth.

The word sanctify means:

to render or acknowledge, or to be venerable or hallow

to separate from profane things and dedicate to God

consecrate things to God

dedicate people to God

to purify

to cleanse externally

to purify by expiation: free from the guilt of sin

to purify internally by renewing of the soul

Immersing ourselves in FATHER’S Word will cleanse and purify our minds.  We will become Heavenly-minded rather than earthly-oriented.  Mature Sons and Daughters will have no independent opinions apart from the Truth.

Jesus spoke in John chapter 5:

30  I can of Myself do nothing. As I hear, I judge; and My judgment is righteous, because I do not seek My own will but the Will of the Father Who sent Me.

And in John chapter 6:

38 For I have come down from Heaven, not to do My own will, but the Will of Him Who sent Me.

Our Elder Brother fully submitted to the Will of FATHER, so should we.

Just as we have realized that our spirit and mind needed salvation, what about our bodies?  Is Christ the Savior of the whole man?  Shouldn’t we commit our bodies to GOD as well?

We are a three-part being and FATHER should have access to all three, not just one or two.  However, it is our decision once our ignorance is addressed concerning these three parts.  Will we choose blindness over the Truth found in The Word?

Stephen spoke by The Holy Spirit to the high priest in Acts chapter 7:

51 “You stiff-necked and uncircumcised in heart and ears! You always resist the Holy Spirit; as your fathers did, so do you.”

Resistance to Truth promotes blindness whereas embracing Truth brings forth blessing and Life.

Don’t our bodies need to be transformed as well?

The Breath Of Life

December 12th, 2023

We all contain the “Breath of Life” and Its qualities are accessible to the sons of GOD!

In order to understand that we are made in HIS Image and Likeness, we have to start at the beginning.

It is recorded by THE SPIRIT in Genesis chapter 1:

26  Then God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.”

27 So God created man in His own Image; in the Image of God He created him; male and female He created them.

28 Then God blessed them, and God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it; have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over every living thing that moves on the earth.”

You and I have the characteristics of Our Heavenly Father.  Being born again, we have HIS Spirit actively residing on the inside of us.  We are the Temple of The Holy Spirit.  This is why we can walk blameless not only in spirit, but soul and body!

In Genesis chapter 2:

7 And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living being.

We need to realize that Adam was made both out of an earthly substance AND a Heavenly material we refer to as “Spirit”.  This allowed Adam to be pure and he had no sin.

15  Then the LORD God took the man and put him in the garden of Eden to tend and keep it.

16 And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, “Of every tree of the garden you may freely eat;

17 but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die.”

FATHER spoke and Adam heard.  We too should expect to hear FATHER speak to us.

18  And the LORD God said, “It is not good that man should be alone; I will make him a helper comparable to him.”

19 Out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field and every bird of the air, and brought them to Adam to see what he would call them. And whatever Adam called each living creature, that was its name.

20 So Adam gave names to all cattle, to the birds of the air, and to every beast of the field. But for Adam there was not found a helper comparable to him.

Adam walked in Divine intelligence.  His intelligence was by nature creative.  He had no problem in naming all life by discerning their characteristics.  There was no restriction or lack of intelligence.

In Genesis chapter 3:

8  And they heard the sound of the LORD God walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God among the trees of the garden.

9 Then the LORD God called to Adam and said to him, “Where are you?”

10 So he said, “I heard Your Voice in the garden, and I was afraid because I was naked; and I hid myself.”

Since Adam was pure prior to his fall, he could walk with GOD and fellowship with HIM.  There was perfect fellowship between GOD and Adam.  He was a sinless man.  He could look right into the Face of GOD, and neither his eyes nor his spirit drew back.  The purity of GOD did not startle him.  He was just as pure as GOD was pure.  That was the original man.

Man then was composed of GOD, a Heavenly materiality, and his body was made of the earth.  He was a sovereign like GOD being on an equality with GOD in sinlessness.  GOD treated him with equality and gave him dominion over the earth.  Adam was a reigning sovereign on the earth.  Everything, all conditions, spiritual and physical were subject to that God-man.

For Adam so loved Eve, he died.  Jesus, the last Adam, brought us back into a pure fellowship with FATHER.

As Jesus said in Matthew chapter 5:

8 Blessed are the pure in heart, For they shall see GOD.

Walking In His Glory

December 11th, 2023

Shouldn’t we walk in HIS Glory and exceed that of Moses?

It is recorded by THE SPIRIT in Exodus chapter 14:

15  And the LORD said to Moses, “Why do you cry to Me? Tell the children of Israel to go forward.

16 But lift up your rod, and stretch out your hand over the sea and divide it. And the children of Israel shall go on dry ground through the midst of the sea.

17 And I indeed will harden the hearts of the Egyptians, and they shall follow them. So I will gain honor over Pharaoh and over all his army, his chariots, and his horsemen.

18 Then the Egyptians shall know that I am the LORD, when I have gained honor for Myself over Pharaoh, his chariots, and his horsemen.”

There is a very subtle Truth in the above passage.  Moses wanted THE LORD to deliver the children of Israel, but FATHER responded by telling Moses to initiate their deliverance.  Moses was to divide the sea, not FATHER!  Moses had the power and authority, he needed to access it.

The Holy Spirit is the Gift of GOD HIMSELF to us.  The Holy Spirit is not simply given that you may be a channel, and always a channel.  But instead, the most magnificent thing the Word of GOD portrays is that Christ indwelling in you by The Holy Spirit is to make you a son of GOD, like Jesus Christ.  GOD’S anointed from Heaven with the recognized power of GOD in your spirit to command the Will of GOD on earth!  GOD has given us the Spirit of power, Love, and a sound mind.

We are called not only to preach The Word, but to demonstrate the power of The Word!  Other religions are void of such power.

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

7  But if the ministry of death, written and engraved on stones, was glorious, so that the children of Israel could not look steadily at the face of Moses because of the glory of his countenance, which glory was passing away,

Moses had a temporary Glory resulting from his direct encounter with GOD.

8 how will the ministry of the Spirit not be more glorious?

Shouldn’t we expect to exceed Moses in our earthly walk?

9 For if the ministry of condemnation had glory, the ministry of righteousness exceeds much more in glory.

10 For even what was made glorious had no glory in this respect, because of the glory that excels.

11 For if what is passing away was glorious, what remains is much more glorious. 12 Therefore, since we have such hope, we use great boldness of speech-

What once was glorious no longer holds any glory because of the increasingly greater glory that has replaced it. The fading ministry came with a portion of glory, but now we are meant to embrace the unfading ministry of a permanent impartation of glory.  So then, with this amazing hope living in us, we step out in freedom and boldness to speak the Truth.  Are you willing to step out into this outward glory by walking in the ministry of righteousness?

13 unlike Moses, who put a veil over his face so that the children of Israel could not look steadily at the end of what was passing away.

By the Blood of Jesus and the impartation of The Holy Spirit, we should expect a greater anointing than Moses.  The Glory expressed in and through us should exceed what Moses experienced and not fade away!

14 But their minds were blinded. For until this day the same veil remains unlifted in the reading of the Old Testament, because the veil is taken away in Christ.

15 But even to this day, when Moses is read, a veil lies on their heart.

16 Nevertheless when one turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away.

Blindness is the only thing keeping us from walking in such righteousness and walking in the Image and Likeness of Our Lord Jesus Christ.

17 Now the Lord is the Spirit; and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. 18 But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord.

Moses was temporarily transfigured.  Jesus was transfigured on the Mount.  Should the mature Sons and Daughters walk in the same manner as Our Elder Brother?

Purity And Holiness

December 10th, 2023

Pursue purity and Holiness and you will see GOD!

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Hebrews chapter 12:

12  So be made strong even in your weakness by lifting up your tired hands in prayer and worship. And strengthen your weak knees,

13 for as you keep walking forward on God’s paths all your stumbling ways will be Divinely healed!

14 (actively) Pursue peace with all people, and Holiness, without which no one will see the Lord:

15 looking carefully lest anyone fall short of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up cause trouble, and by this many become defiled;

Jesus spoke in Matthew chapter 5:

6  Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, For they shall be filled.

7 Blessed are the merciful, For they shall obtain mercy.

8 Blessed are the pure in heart, For they shall see God.

9 Blessed are the peacemakers, For they shall be called Sons of God.

It is one thing to tell someone to do something such as pursue purity and Holiness.  But how?  We must spend time in prayer and study in The Word.  Our foundation must be based on Truth and revelation and Truth can only come from The Word.  As I pray in The Holy Spirit, I grow in Spiritual power.  How do I know this?

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in 2nd Timothy chapter 1:

7 For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of Love and of a sound mind.

What is a sound mind?  It is full of revelation-light and instruction.

Jesus spoke in John chapter 14:

25  “These things I have spoken to you while being present with you.

26 But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My Name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you.

27 Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.

If you realize that you have power, you will have courage and will not be afraid.  Your trust is solely in FATHER and not man.  Men’s hearts will grow faint in these last days unless they have the assurance that comes with a solid relationship with Our Lord.  How can The Holy Spirit teach you ALL THINGS if you don’t spend time with Him?

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Romans chapter 8:

14  For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are Sons of God.

15 For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out, “Abba, Father.”

16 The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are Children of God,

17 and if Children, then heirs-heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him, that we may also be glorified together.

As joint heirs, you and I have access to the same Divine power as Jesus did when He walked the earth.  However, unless we are fully convinced in our minds that we can and should walk in the same power and authority, we will not produce the fruit Jesus expected when He spoke in Mark chapter 16:

15  And He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the Gospel to every creature.

16 He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned.

17 And these signs will follow those who believe: In My Name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues;

18 they will take up serpents; and if they drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.”

If you don’t believe you can fulfill His mandate, you won’t.  Don’t let unbelief keep you enslaved any longer!  The real child of GOD is to be a master over every other power of darkness in the world.  The Holy Spirit in the Believer is to be as powerful as The Holy Spirit in Christ.  Jesus declared “Greater works than these shall you do.” (John 14:12)

As you walk in purity and Holiness you will not only see GOD, but you will operate in full unity with HIM in all areas.

Submit to The Holy Spirit

December 9th, 2023

Let The Holy Spirit guide you in all areas!

Salvation begins when our spirit is surrendered to GOD, when our name is written in the Book of Life, and when we receive the conscious knowledge of sins being forgiven.  Then GOD witnesses to our spirit that our sins are erased.

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Romans 8:

16 The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God,

This should only be the beginning of our walk.  We now have the capacity to walk in the same ways as Jesus.  However, most stop with salvation of the spirit.  The issue now is the self-centeredness of the soul and body.  Both aspects of our triune being must be cleansed.  A weak spirit man will not overcome a strong soul.  Submitting to The Holy Spirit is a challenge to those who are reluctant to receive the Baptism of The Holy Spirit.  They have The Holy Spirit to a degree, but why not allow themselves to be fully immersed in FATHER’S Holy Spirit?  Paul stated himself in 1st Corinthians chapter 14:

5  I wish you all spoke with tongues, but even more that you prophesied; for he who prophesies is greater than he who speaks with tongues, unless indeed he interprets, that the church may receive edification.

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

If the vessel who was selected to write 2/3 of the New Testament spoke in tongues, why wouldn’t I want the same impartation?  This is why I spend the first part of the morning praying in The Holy Spirit.  It honors FATHER and expresses my reverence to HIM!

Paul continues in Romans chapter 8:

26  Likewise the Spirit also helps in our weaknesses. For we do not know what we should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.

I rely on The Holy Spirit to effectively intercede on my behalf… thankfully!

27 Now He who searches the hearts knows what the Mind of the Spirit is, because He makes intercession for the saints according to the will of God.

28 And we know that all things work together for good to those who Love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.

29 For whom He foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren.

30 Moreover whom He predestined, these He also called; whom He called, these He also justified; and whom He justified, these He also glorified.

We must not restrict the fullness of the operation of The Holy Spirit in our lives.  What restricts us?  It is our mindset.

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Philippians chapter 4:

13 I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.

The key to doing all righteous acts is “through Christ”.  The Holy Spirit will guide us into all Truth concerning the anointing of Christ.

Jesus spoke in John chapter 15:

1  “I am the True Vine, and My Father is the Vinedresser.

2 Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit He takes away; and every branch that bears fruit He prunes, that it may bear more fruit.

3 You are already clean because of the Word which I have spoken to you.

4 Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in Me.

5 “I am the Vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing.

6 If anyone does not abide in Me, he is cast out as a branch and is withered; and they gather them and throw them into the fire, and they are burned.

7 If you abide in Me, and My Words abide in you, you will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you.

8 By this My Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit; so you will be My disciples.

I desire to bear much fruit with the resources available to me.  Many people will spend exorbitant amounts of money to be entertained whereas others are focused on helping those in need.  Am I against entertainment?  No.  There is a balance and that is where The Holy Spirit will guide you to such a balance.
