Live by the Truth and your life will improve dramatically.

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Ephesians chapter 6:

10  Now my beloved ones, I have saved these most important Truths for last: Be supernaturally infused with strength through your life-union with the Lord Jesus. Stand victorious with the force of His explosive power flowing in and through you. 11 Put on GOD’S complete set of armor provided for us, so that you will be protected as you fight against the evil strategies of the accuser!

14  Put on Truth as a belt to strengthen you to stand in triumph. Put on Holiness as the protective armor that covers your heart.

The devil uses many evil strategies that are all based on his one means of keeping us from our relationship with Our Heavenly Father, Jesus, and The Holy Spirit- deception.

The Beloved Disciple wrote by The Holy Spirit in Revelation chapter 12:

9  So the great dragon was cast out, that serpent of old, called the Devil and Satan, who deceives the whole world; he was cast to the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.

And Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in 2^nd Corinthians chapter 11:

3   But now I’m afraid that just as Eve was deceived by the serpent’s clever lies, your thoughts may be corrupted and you may lose your single-hearted devotion and pure Love for Christ.  TPT

In other Words:

3  But I fear, lest somehow, as the serpent deceived Eve by his craftiness, so your minds may be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.  NKJV

The original sin was accomplished through the deception of Eve when she failed to see the Truth of FATHER’S Words.

It is written by THE SPIRIT in Genesis chapter 3:

1  Now the serpent was more cunning than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said to the woman, “Has God indeed said, ‘You shall not eat of every tree of the garden’?”

The devil has only one weapon which is deception yet he has many strategies attached to it.  Jesus was tempted in the wilderness by the accuser’s deceptive practice of twisting Scripture to be used for his own self-serving reasons.

Jesus spoke in John chapter 16:

13  But when the Truth-giving Spirit comes, He will unveil the reality of every Truth within you. He won’t speak His own message, but only what He hears from the Father, and He will reveal prophetically to you what is to come.

In the end, the Truth will prevail, and you don’t want to be on the wrong side of the reality which comes to light.  This is why it is imperative to be led by The Holy Spirit in all matters.

Jesus also spoke in John chapter 14:

John 10:4 NKJV

And when he brings out his own sheep, he goes before them; and the sheep follow him, for they know his voice.

6  Jesus explained, “I am the Way, I am the Truth, and I am the Life. No one comes next to the Father except through union with Me. To know Me is to know My Father too.

7 And from now on you will realize that you have seen Him and experienced Him.”

There is no other way to complete Truth than through Jesus Christ!  Further, Jesus sent The Holy Spirit to live within each of us to give us unfettered access to complete Truth from FATHER.  It is vital that you and I navigate through this world being led by Truth rather than being subjected to the evil strategies of the accuser.

What is the motivation behind your actions?  It is time that we grow up and quit doing “nothing”!

In the past, some preachers have preached faith, condemned hope, and ignored Love.  They focused only on faith because it was self-serving without Love.  Hope begins the journey of faith with Love as the foundation.  Hope gives you the picture for faith to see but Love is the foundation of what hope should produce.  You cannot have hope without knowing what the promises of GOD are.

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in 1^st Corinthians chapter 13:

1  Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not Love, I have become sounding brass or a clanging cymbal.

2 And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, but have not Love, I am nothing.

3 And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, but have not Love, it profits me nothing.

Can the need to focus on Love be made any clearer?  If you have faith without Love, you are nothing!  If you feed the poor without Love, you gain nothing.  The source of your intent is the deciding factor.

Each of us must assess our intent in all areas of life to see if Love is the motivation behind our actions.  This is exactly why FATHER directed me to focus on Love back in 2005 rather than other less important areas of life.

If you want to reach full maturity as a Son or Daughter of Our Heavenly Father, you too must have a solid foundation of Love.  Jesus made that Truth abundantly clear when He spoke in John chapter 15:

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.

9 “As the Father Loved Me, I also have Loved you; abide in My love.

10 If you keep My commandments, you will abide in My Love, just as I have kept My Father’s commandments and abide in His Love.

Jesus had already revealed in John chapter 5:

19   Then Jesus answered and said to them, “Most assuredly, I say to you, the Son can do nothing of Himself, but what He sees the Father do; for whatever He does, the Son also does in like manner.

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.

These writings are intended to change your mindset to line up with The Word rather than religious teachings of the past.  Love is the Key to our future success as mature Sons and Daughters.

“It’s Easier to Fool People Than It Is to Convince Them That They Have Been Fooled.”  Mark Twain

The hardest thing for Christians to do is to think a thought that hasn’t been thought for them.  Mature Sons and Daughters will not be moved by man’s agenda and motivation for their hope arises out of Love rather than nothingness.

The hurting world wants Good News and we are to be the messengers of that Good News!

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.

What brings out GOD’S best in a person today?  Discover that HIS plan depends on you and me!  Jesus needed physical bodies to spread the Gospel and that is what the Book of Acts is all about. 

Jesus did not go to the uttermost parts of the earth in His physical body, the believers did.  Angels will not do what we are called to do.  GOD does not fulfill HIS plan with substitute workers, HE uses each of us with our unique callings and are committed to HIS work.

FATHER sent us Jesus to show us how to spread the Good News and without us the Kingdom will not expand any further.  FATHER trusts us to follow the mandate Jesus gave us.

If FATHER dispatched angels to do our work, how long would it have taken to spread The Kingdom?  He restricted Himself to operating through us because HE gave us the resources we need to complete the mandate.  Our only problem is that we did not have the revelation of this Truth in the past.  Theses Truths are no longer suppressed by those who want to retain control through manipulation.  The adversary used those who are guided by self-interest to suppress the Truth but only for short periods of time. 

Truth breaks forth as the morning sun and we are now able to see what resources are available to us.

The Holy Spirit was only upon Jesus until He returned to Heaven and sent The Holy Spirit to be in each of us who accepted Him.  This empowerment is what allows us to fulfill the mandate Jesus gave us.  The purpose of The Holy Spirit is to glorify Jesus through us as we go about spreading the Good News with infallible proofs.

The problem in the past is that we did not value what Scripture revealed to the point of seeking the Heavenly Treasures out so that we could properly walk in them.  In my immature state, I focused on what I could do through my own faculties rather than what Jesus could do through me.

FATHER’S great mercy, grace, and patience has prevailed in us while we have followed the path toward Spiritual maturity… as slow as it may have been for some of us.

The hurting world wants Good News and we are to be the messengers of that Good News!

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.

Jesus gave the apostles His commandments AND He gave us the same commandments.  An apostle is one who is “sent”.  You and I have been sent as well thus we meet the definition of an apostle.  GOD’S Will is my command, is it yours too?

Our words, our deeds, and our actions are seeds and meant to show the world Jesus Christ through us.  What seed are you sewing on a daily basis?

Jesus presented the disciples with infallible proofs of His resurrection thus He is alive today and living in those who abide in His Love.

Jesus spoke in John chapter 16 before His death and resurrection:

12  “There is so much more I would like to say to you, but it’s more than you can grasp at this moment.

13 But when the Truth-giving Spirit comes, He will unveil the reality of every Truth within you. He won’t speak His own message, but only what He hears from the Father, and He will reveal prophetically to you what is to come.

14 He will glorify Me on the earth, for He will receive from Me what is Mine and reveal it to you.

15 Everything that belongs to the Father belongs to Me-that’s why I say that the Divine Encourager will receive what is Mine and reveal it to you.

16 Soon you won’t see Me any longer, but then, after a little while, you will see Me in a new way.”

Jesus stated that the purpose of The Holy Spirit is to glorify Him and reveal mysteries that will reinforce our mandate as sent ones.

The focus of The Holy Spirit is to glorify Jesus, not you or me.  The church has not made this Truth primary to the preaching I have heard in the past.  The gifts of THE SPIRIT are meant to glorify Jesus, not exalt those who operate in such gifts.  I don’t earn a gift, I simply accept it and use it as directed by The Holy Spirit.

Everything we do should point to the Good News of Jesus Christ and glorify Him ONLY!

You and I are to be FATHER’S Messengers to the world.

Most human beings are dead because they have lost their dreams or their ambitions.  They have lost their desire for a better life.  They compromised their potential.  They settled for mediocrity and despair.  They have settled for nights of tears.  They are dead while their heart still beats.  They are boxed in to their negative world. 

They have chosen to give up.  They have chosen to die when they could choose life.  Don’t settle for this trap.  They can experience the greatest miracle in the world: they can come back from the dead.

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Ephesians, chapter 2:

4   But God still Loved us with such great Love. He is so rich in compassion and mercy.

5 Even when we were dead and doomed in our many sins, He united us into the very Life of Christ and saved us by His wonderful grace!

6 He raised us up with Christ the exalted One, and we ascended with Him into the glorious perfection and authority of the Heavenly realm, for we are now co-seated as One with Christ!

7 Throughout the coming ages we will be the visible display of the infinite, limitless riches of His grace and kindness, which was showered upon us in Jesus Christ.

8 For it was only through this wonderful grace that we believed in Him. Nothing we did could ever earn this salvation, for it was the gracious gift from God that brought us to Christ!

9 So no one will ever be able to boast, for salvation is never a reward for good works or human striving.

10 We have become His poetry, a re-created people that will fulfill the destiny He has given each of us, for we are joined to Jesus, the Anointed One. Even before we were born, God planned in advance our destiny and the good works we would do to fulfill it!

Now is the time to fulfill our destiny.  The mystery has been revealed and each of us has a mission to complete.  FATHER has ordained that we go and do greater works than Jesus.  Can you grasp this Truth?  Are you willing to accept this Truth?

Jesus spoke in John chapter 5:

25  “I speak to you Eternal Truth: Soon the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God, and those who listen will arise with life!

26 For the Father has given the Son the power to impart Life, even as the Father imparts Life.

You and I have been given the power to impart Life as well.  Don’t demean or belittle yourself any longer.  It is time to rise up and accept who you are in Christ.  Immerse yourself in The Word and let It purify your thoughts.  Quit listening to those who spread religion.  Quit watching and reading the latest “world news” which is a portal of the nefarious ones.

Jesus spoke in John chapter 10:

10   The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.

In other Words:

Jesu came to give us everything in abundance, more than we expect-life in its fullness until you overflow!

This is our mission as well… spread Life!

Should we imitate Christ today?

Jesus spoke in John chapter 15:

5   “I am the sprouting Vine and you’re My branches. As you live in union with Me as your Source, fruitfulness will stream from within you—but when you live separated from Me you are powerless.

6 If a person is separated from me, he is discarded; such branches are gathered up and thrown into the fire to be burned.

7 But if you live in life-union with Me and if My Words live powerfully within you—then you can ask whatever you desire and it will be done.

8 When your lives bear abundant fruit, you demonstrate that you are My mature disciples who glorify My Father!

Without miracles, is Christianity just a religion; is it credible?

What makes Christianity more than a religion or a philosophy?

The early church imitated Christ literally, should we today?

Are HIS Concepts workable today or are they just part of history?

Are Biblical miracles needed in these times we now live in?

What brings out GOD’S best in a person?

Is Christ’s miracle ministry applicable in today’s world?

What happens when we discover how much GOD trusts us?

Are only certain people vessels of GOD?

To whom does GOD entrust HIS miracle power?

Are others more qualified in spiritual matters than you?

What makes our Christian witness believable/credible?

What proof do we offer that Jesus Christ is alive, or does it matter?

Do Christian rituals without miracles have life-changing power?

If they don’t, then what’s the point?

If we don’t share Jesus Christ, is it really because we don’t believe in Him?

How does Jesus minister today in our community, in our nation, around the world?

Can you tell me one thing Jesus Christ can do in your community without a body to do it in?

Can The Holy Spirit do GOD’S work without us?

Are you ready and willing to walk in that same dazzling radiance?  Jesus showed us how we are to walk for He is our Model.  We too are to become that exact expression of Father’s true Nature on earth.  This is what life is all about!

You and I have that same life of Jesus flowing in us.

Jesus spoke in John chapter 15:

5   “I am the sprouting Vine and you’re My branches. As you live in union with Me as your Source, fruitfulness will stream from within you—but when you live separated from Me you are powerless.

Life and energy flow from the Vine to the branches.  Our power comes from Him!

6 If a person is separated from me, he is discarded; such branches are gathered up and thrown into the fire to be burned.

7 But if you live in life-union with Me and if My Words live powerfully within you—then you can ask whatever you desire and it will be done.

Jesus was conscious of The FATHER alive In Him all the time.  The works that He did bore witness that The FATHER sent Him.  You and I are sent as well and once you finally accept this Truth, you will mature to a higher level.

8 When your lives bear abundant fruit, you demonstrate that you are My mature disciples who glorify My Father!

Mature disciples glorify Our Heavenly Father, not themselves.  You don’t need a touch from some preacher to get some of his anointing.  You don’t need a second-hand anointing.  The Holy Spirit has given you all the anointing you need to go out and preach The Gospel with signs and wonders following.

When Jesus shows up in us, miracles happen.  When He is not there, nothing changes.

FATHER IS SPIRIT and needs our bodies to do the work on earth.  There are two prayers HE won’t answer:

Ask HIM to do something HE has already done.

Ask HIM to do something Jesus told us to do.

We have what GOD doesn’t have… a body on this earth.

Can you tell me one thing Jesus can do in your community without a body?

The open door to GOD is in us and through us today.  The Wisdom and power of GOD is resident in us now.

Energized forces produce action or motion hence Love produces action.  The Image of GOD is being reflected through you and me today.  Let our actions send the message of HIS Love to those who are lost.

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Hebrews chapter 1:

1  Throughout our history God has spoken to our ancestors by His prophets in many different ways. The revelation He gave them was only a fragment at a time, building one Truth upon another.

2 But to us living in these last days, God now speaks to us openly in the language of a Son, the appointed Heir of everything, for through Him God created the panorama of all things and all time.

3  The Son is the dazzling Radiance of God’s splendor, the exact Expression of God’s true Nature—HIS mirror Image! He holds the universe together and expands it by the mighty power of His spoken word. He accomplished for us the complete cleansing of sins, and then took His Seat on the highest Throne at the Right Hand of the Majestic One.

Are you ready and willing to walk in that same dazzling radiance?  Jesus showed us how we are to walk for He is our Model.  We too are to become that exact expression of Father’s true Nature on earth.  This is what life is all about!

What is the greatest revelation given to mankind?

Jesus expressed this revelation in John chapter 14:

5   Thomas said to him, “Master, we don’t know where You’re going, so how could we know the way there?”

6 Jesus explained, “I am the Way, I am the Truth, and I am the Life. No one comes next to the Father except through union with Me. To know Me is to know My Father too.

7 And from now on you will realize that you have seen Him and experienced Him.”

Jesus’ first mission was to show us Our Heavenly Father, Who He is, and what His Divine Intent is.

8 Philip spoke up, “Lord, show us the Father, and that will be all that we need!”

9 Jesus replied, “Philip, I’ve been with you all this time and you still don’t know who I am? How could you ask Me to show you the Father, for anyone who has looked at me has seen the Father.

Jesus reiterates this revelation to Philip but He knows Philip still needs a greater understanding of what Jesus just revealed.

10 Don’t you believe that the Father is living in Me and that I am living in the Father? Even My Words are not My own but come from My Father, for HE lives in Me and performs His miracles of power through Me.

11 Believe that I live as One with My Father and that My Father lives as One with Me—or at least, believe because of the mighty miracles I have done.

Jesus provided Philip with infallible proof of Who He is.  That same proof is still applicable today.

12 “I tell you this timeless Truth: The person who follows Me in faith, believing in Me, will do the same mighty miracles that I do—even greater miracles than these because I go to be with my Father!

Are you willing to believe this timeless Truth?

13 For I will do whatever you ask Me to do when you ask Me in My Name. And that is how the Son will show what the Father is really like and bring glory to Him. 14 Ask Me anything in My Name, and I will do it for you!”

Jesus second mission was to show us, US!  We are not meant to live a mediocre life but instead to rise up and embrace these Words spoken by Jesus Who only spoke Words given to Him by Our Heavenly Father.

Jesus came to us as GOD IN THE FLESH so that our image of Our Heavenly Father could be corrected.  GOD is Love and all the acts of Jesus pointed to this Truth.

As mature Sons and Daughters, we are to reveal this same Image to the world.  We are to operate with mighty miracles following us.  We will take no credit for those miracles because we will give all the glory to Our Heavenly Father and Jesus.

The miracles provide the credibility of The Gospel then and it should be no different now.

Christian churches without miracles are simply promoting religion, no different that that of the Pharisees.  That may sound harsh but it is time to expose the reality.

As one man said, “No miracles, no Jesus!”

Don’t be incomplete in your daily walk!  Be the kind of person Jesus wants you to be.

A Christian is the combination of GOD and you together and HIS Divine Intent for you to be led by HIS SPIRIT in all matters, not just a few. 

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Galatians chapter 2:

20   “My old identity has been co-crucified with Messiah and no longer lives; for the nails of his cross crucified me with Him. And now the essence of this new life is no longer mine, for the Anointed One lives His Life through me—we live in union as one! My new life is empowered by the faith of the Son of God Who Loves me so much that He gave Himself for me, and dispenses His Life into mine!

Jesus continues His ministry through those of us who are willing to believe His Words proclaiming this Truth.

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Ephesians chapter 2:

4  But God still Loved us with such great Love. He is so rich in compassion and mercy.

5 Even when we were dead and doomed in our many sins, He united us into the very Life of Christ and saved us by His wonderful grace!

6 He raised us up with Christ the exalted One, and we ascended with Him into the glorious perfection and authority of the Heavenly realm, for we are now co-seated as One with Christ!

7 Throughout the coming ages we will be the visible display of the infinite, limitless riches of His grace and kindness, which was showered upon us in Jesus Christ.

8 For it was only through this wonderful grace that we believed in Him. Nothing we did could ever earn this salvation, for it was the gracious gift from God that brought us to Christ!

9 So no one will ever be able to boast, for salvation is never a reward for good works or human striving.

10 We have become His poetry, a re-created people that will fulfill the destiny He has given each of us, for we are joined to Jesus, the Anointed One. Even before we were born, God planned in advance our destiny and the good works we would do to fulfill it!

The above passage is the essence of Paul’s revelation for us so let us not treat these Words as commonplace. 

Is the devil worried about you?  If not, he should be.

It is written by The Holy Spirit in the book of Acts, chapter 19:

13-14   Now, there were seven itinerant Jewish exorcists, sons of Sceva the high priest, who took it upon themselves to use the name and authority of Jesus over those who were demonized. They would say, “We cast you out in the name of the Jesus that Paul preaches!”

15 One day, when they said those words, the demon in the man replied, “I know about Jesus, and I recognize Paul, but who do you think you are?”

16 Then the demonized man jumped on them and threw them to the ground, beating them mercilessly. He overpowered the seven exorcists until they all ran out of the house naked and badly bruised.

The key to this passage is that the exorcists did not know Jesus personally, they referenced Paul instead.  As mature believers with the revelation of being Sons and Daughters of GOD, we should not be intimidated by demons.  If we truly know and understand the power of The Blood and redemption, the demons will not challenge us.  We know who we are in Christ!

We are the hope of the world so let us be the expression of Love toward others.
