The Blood of Jesus not only finalized your past but It also finalized your future.  This reality has allowed for our mind-set to be transformed.  His Blood sacrifice made us “equal” with Him so that we could walk as He walked on this earth.

What are you going to do about your future if your past is absolutely gone?  Those who do not renew their minds will form decisions based upon their enslavement to their past.  It is critically important that you and I cease looking at ourselves based on our past since it has been wiped away by the Blood of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Are you going to wait until you feel like it’s true or, are you going to wait until someone proves that it’s true?  Jesus finalized forgiveness of our past at the cross.  In order to come to full maturity, we must accept this Truth once and for all.  If you don’t accept this reality, you’re living your life based on disinformation.  The adversary wants to keep you ignorant of the power in the Blood.

We are to replace reluctance with boldness!

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

17 Love has been perfected among us in this: that we may have boldness in the day of judgment; because as He is, so are we in this world.

18 There is no fear in Love; but perfect Love casts out fear, because fear involves torment. But he who fears has not been made perfect in Love.

19 We Love Him because He first Loved us.

We are coming into a time where we must no longer fear anything.  The nefarious ones will use fear to control the population.  This is why it is of the utmost importance to pursue the full revelation The Father’s Love for us. It is the key to our victory.

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Colossians chapter 3:

1   Christ’s resurrection is your resurrection too. This is why we are to yearn for all that is Above, for that’s where Christ sits enthroned at the place of all power, honor, and authority!

2 Yes, feast on all the treasures of the Heavenly realm and fill your thoughts with Heavenly realities, and not with the distractions of the natural realm.

3 Your crucifixion with Christ has severed the tie to this life, and now your true life is hidden away in God in Christ.

4 And as Christ Himself is seen for who He really is, who you really are will also be revealed, for you are now one with Him in His glory!

There are two things that are final: Love and the Blood… and the Blood is based on Love!

At the entrance to our home:

If your mind-set is primarily focused on Old Testament study, you will have an incomplete understanding of the unconditional Love of God.  Therefore it is vital that we focus on both the Words and acts of Jesus.

Jesus spoke in John chapter 14:

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.”

Do you fully believe the Words of Jesus?

The Word of God does not contradict Itself and there is perfect harmony in it all.  In the Old Testament we see a picture of God that is incomplete, It is not incorrect but It is just incomplete. 

People who create their understanding of the nature of God based only on the Old Testament usually don’t end up with a fully accurate picture.  The Old Testament is only a partial picture as it is not a perfect representation of God.  Unless we understand the New Testament and are able to harmonize It with the Old Testament, we are going to end up misunderstanding the Love and the whole Nature of God.

God is Love!

If we don’t know God’s Nature or really understand him then we’ll never effectively walk in the blessings, power, and authority of God.  Religious ideas often arise from a lack of understanding of our Heavenly Father’s Love for mankind and due to this lack of understanding, people are unable to enter into a close relationship with FATHER.  You and I need to pursue an intimate relationship with Our Heavenly Father, not just a casual relationship based on an occasional focus.

Jesus continued:

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.

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.

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!

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!”

What is preventing you from fully embracing these Words of Jesus, is it fear of failure?  Is it the uncertainty of your relationship with Our Heavenly Father?  Don’t you realize He knew you before He formed you in the womb?

Father’s Love for us is so great that when we were yet sinners, He saved us from our unrighteousness. This is what grace is all about.

It’s not about performance, it is about His unconditional Love for us.  Our mind-set must be transformed so that we can fully comprehend HIS Agape Love and walk in It as well.

You and I have been given the necessary power and authority to bring forth The Kingdom of GOD on the earth.  Jesus is waiting on us, not the other way around.

Our mind-set is the key to walking in His power and authority.

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Ephesians chapter 1:

19   I pray that you will continually experience the immeasurable greatness of God’s power made available to you through faith. Then your lives will be an advertisement of this immense power as it works through you! This is the mighty power

Unlocking His power and authority will occur once our mind-set is fully aligned with our spirit.  This Truth has been hidden in plain sight from those who are blinded by their carnal mind.  HIS power has already been made available… not will be.

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Romans 8:

6 For the mind-set of the flesh (carnally minded) is death, but the mind-set controlled by the Spirit finds life and peace.

Where do we find life and peace?  Those virtues are already deposited in our spirits.

In Ephesians chapter 1, Paul reveals when the power and authority were released:

20 that was released when God raised Christ from the dead and exalted Him to the place of highest honor and supreme authority (seated Him at His right hand) in the Heavenly realm!

21 And now He is exalted as first above every ruler, authority, government, and realm of power in existence! He is gloriously enthroned over every name that is ever praised, not only in this age, but in the age that is coming!

This is a major difference between the Old Testament and the New Testament and why we must emphasize the revelations found in the New Testament, especially the Words of Jesus!

And it is written by The Holy Spirit in Hebrews 8:

1  Now this is the crowning point of what we are saying: We have a magnificent King-Priest who ministers for us at the right hand of God. He is enthroned with honor next to the Throne of the Majesty on high.

Jesus’ power and authority must manifest through someone on earth.  The devil’s intent must also manifest through a body on earth.  The adversary has no power to do anything outside of this reality.  People will submit to one or the other.

People have been praying to FATHER for HIM to do something, fix something, or create something new.  HE is seated and at rest… Jesus is too.  Both are expecting us to access what we have already been given.

The power that raised Jesus from the dead is flowing in us awaiting our access.  As we renew our minds and fully remove doubt, that flow will dramatically increase in our lives.  Immersion in The Word will remove such doubt.  Immersion in the world will increase fear, uncertainty, and doubt. 

Agape Love gives US the choice of where we take our mind-set.

The curse of debt has been broken as well.  Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Ephesians chapter 3:

18-19   Then you will be empowered to discover what every Holy one experiences—the great magnitude of the astonishing Love of Christ in all Its dimensions. How deeply intimate and far-reaching is his Love! How enduring and inclusive It is! Endless Love beyond measurement that transcends our understanding—this extravagant Love pours into you until you are filled to overflowing with the fullness of God!

20 Never doubt God’s mighty power to work in you and accomplish all this. He will achieve infinitely more than your greatest request, your most unbelievable dream, and exceed your wildest imagination! He will outdo them all, for His miraculous power constantly energizes you.

We must no longer limit our mind-set so that we fully experience the astonishing Love flowing to us, through us, and for others to benefit.  This includes healing, health, and success in all areas.

Jesus spoke in Mark chapter 9:

23  Jesus said to him, “What do you mean ‘if’? If you are able to believe, all things are possible to the believer.”

All means all!

The difficulty often confronted when wanting people to change their mind-set.

He would have commented concerning the people who believe the lies the media are spewing out:

Spiritual mindedness is life and peace but to be carnally minded is death.  Renewing your mind brings transformation.

These teachings are meant to empower you, not enslave you but to make you free.  Since we have removed the monetary requirement of this ministry by having no salaries and virtually no overhead, your and my contributions go directly to those in need.  Our goal is to provide a means for pure ministry rather than becoming enslaved to some religious structure.

When your mind-set has been renewed in the spirit, you are able to discern the mind-set of the person with whom you are interacting.

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Ephesians chapter 4:

17   So with the Wisdom given to me from the Lord I say: You should not live like the unbelievers around you who walk in their empty delusions.

18   Their corrupted logic has been clouded because their hearts are so far from God—their blinded understanding and deep-seated moral darkness keeps them from the true knowledge of God.

It is vitally important that you and I live in true Holiness and identify moral darkness for what it is: blindness.  I cannot make people change their mind-set but I can be an example of Jesus Christ toward them and allow The Holy Spirit to open their eyes and minister life to them.

23   Now it’s time to be made new by every revelation that’s been given to you.

24   And to be transformed as you embrace the glorious Christ-within as your new life and live in union with Him! For God has re-created you all over again in his perfect righteousness, and you now belong to him in the realm of true Holiness.

25   So discard every form of dishonesty and lying so that you will be known as one who always speaks the Truth, for we all belong to one another.

The world promotes dishonesty everywhere you look.  People will rationalize why they can be dishonest by looking at the dishonesty of others as though it provides them with justification.  We need to live by Truth and that originates from Heaven.

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in 2^nd Corinthians chapter 5:

21 For God made the only One Who did not know sin to become sin for us, so that we who did not know righteousness might become the righteousness of God through our union with Him.

FATHER provided us with a gift like no other.  We traded our unrighteousness for the pure righteousness of Jesus thus our spirits are perfect.

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Ephesians chapter 1:

5-6 For it was always in His perfect plan to adopt us as His delightful children, through our union with Jesus, the Anointed One, so that His tremendous Love that cascades over us would glorify His grace—for the same Love He has for His Beloved One, Jesus, He has for us. And this unfolding plan brings Him great pleasure!

Do you realize that FATHER values us just like Jesus?  We are not sinners saved by grace but instead we are a new creation and true Sons and Daughters.  Therefore, we have the ability to become fully mature in Christ and minister in the same fashion.  We now have the ability to discern every situation we encounter.  It must be done by THE SPIRIT rather than by the five senses and worldly logic.

13   In Him you also trusted, after you heard the Word of Truth, the Gospel of your salvation; in Whom also, having believed, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise

This seal protects our spirits from any influence originating from the world.  Since we are sealed, the adversary can only focus on the mind-set which is where the battle is initiated.  Once we are no longer ignorant of The Word and are walking in It, the devil has lost his influence.

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in 1^st Corinthians chapter 6:

17 But he who is joined to the Lord is one spirit with Him.

Never forget this reality as your mind is being transformed!

Spiritual mindedness is life and peace. To be carnally-minded is death.

We are to walk in His Glory and in HIS Love which will result in us walking in unity with each other.

Peter wrote by The Holy Spirit in 2^nd Peter chapter 1:

1  This letter is from Simeon Peter, a loving servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ. I am writing to those who have been given a faith as equally precious as ours through the righteousness of our God and Savior, Jesus Christ.

2 May grace and perfect peace cascade over you as you live in the rich knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord.

After forty days of teaching by Jesus after His resurrection, Peter now has a full understanding of what has been deposited not only in him but in us as well.  He understands that we all have the same measure of faith which is one of the gifts of GOD within us:

3 Everything we could ever need for life and complete devotion to God has already been deposited in us by His Divine power. For all this was lavished upon us through the rich experience of knowing Him Who has called us by name and invited us to come to Him through a glorious manifestation of His goodness.

“Has already been deposited” is vital to our understanding and walk from this point forward.  If we don’t walk in this revelation, then how can we walk in the power and authority Jesus commanded?

4 As a result of this, He has given you magnificent promises that are beyond all price, so that through the power of these tremendous promises you can experience partnership with the Divine nature, by which you have escaped the corrupt desires that are of the world.

Can you comprehend the value of being partners with Jesus in bring forth The Kingdom?  We are no longer enslaved by corruption found and promoted by the world.  Now their attempts to corrupt our minds are of no consequence because we see through their nefarious intent.

5 So devote yourselves to lavishly supplementing your faith with goodness, and to goodness add understanding,

6 and to understanding add the strength of self-control, and to self-control add patient endurance, and to patient endurance add godliness,

7 and to godliness add mercy toward your brothers and sisters, and to mercy toward others add unending Love.

The word supplement means to take action to add.  You and I are to supplement our walk with what is already deposited in us.  We must activate the deposits listed above.  To devote means to give all or a large part of one’s time or resources to a person, activity, or cause.  Are you willing to expend the time and resources to walk as Jesus walked in the attributes listed above?  If you don’t think you can, then you need to ponder these passages as well as Ephesians chapter one until you get these Truths in your mind-set.

8 Since these virtues are already planted deep within, and you possess them in abundant supply, they will keep you from being inactive or fruitless in your pursuit of knowing Jesus Christ more intimately.  Peter addresses the issue of NOT walking in these attributes:

9 But if anyone lacks these things, he is blind, constantly closing his eyes to the mysteries of our faith, and forgetting his innocence—for his past sins have been washed away.

I was once blind but now I see.  Blindness does not negate reality but rather it simply restricts understanding.  When the eyes of our understanding are opened, we can unlock the mysteries so that we can walk at the higher level expected by Jesus.  This power and authority are not for those who are blind for they would misuse such attributes for their own consumption rather than the benefit of others.  As we ascend to a higher understanding of Agape Love, we will have full operation of the attributes listed above.  Our mind-set will be in full alignment with our spirit.

Once your mind-set has begun changing to walk with GOD, you are meant to convert revelation to action.  Faith without works is dead.  Is there such a thing as Love without works?

Divine revelation and intervention are meant to translate to action.

Jesus spoke in John chapter 15:

1  “I am a true sprouting Vine, and the Farmer who tends the Vine is My Father.

2 He cares for the branches connected to Me by lifting and propping up the fruitless branches and pruning every fruitful branch to yield a greater harvest.

3 The Words I have spoken over you have already cleansed you.

4 So you must remain in life-union with Me, for I remain in life-union with you. For as a branch severed from the vine will not bear fruit, so your life will be fruitless unless you live your life intimately joined to Mine.

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!

9 “I love each of you with the same Love that the Father Loves Me. You must continually let My Love nourish your hearts.

10 If you keep My commands, you will live in My love, just as I have kept my Father’s commands, for I continually live nourished and empowered by His Love.

11 My purpose for telling you these things is so that the joy that I experience will fill your hearts with overflowing gladness!

It is vital that we understand and walk according to what Jesus just spoke.  Keep His commands then we will live in His Love and experience full joy no matter what the situation and events around us.  When is the last time your heart was filled with overflowing gladness?

12 “So this is my command: Love each other deeply, as much as I have Loved you. 13 For the greatest Love of all is a Love that sacrifices all. And this great Love is demonstrated when a person sacrifices his life for his friends.

This is what life is all about.  My neighbor who is a doctor told us a story last night.  A man died while in the hospital and then returned to life.   He immediately shared the following:  He went before Jesus and was full of overflowing joy to be there.  Jesus told him that he had to return because he did not understand and walk in Love yet.  He pleaded with Jesus not to have him return but Jesus said “You must learn Love and we will be watching you closely.”   From time to time, he sees a “spirit” person who says nothing but simply observes.  The doctor has heard multiple, similar stories firsthand.  It’s all about Love!

14 “You show that you are my intimate friends when you obey all that I command you.

15 I have never called you ‘servants,’ because a Master doesn’t confide in His servants, and servants don’t always understand what the Master is doing. But I call you My most intimate friends, for I reveal to you everything that I’ve heard from My Father. “

16 You didn’t choose Me, but I’ve chosen and commissioned you to go into the world to bear fruit. And your fruit will last, because whatever you ask of My Father, for my sake, HE will give it to you!

17 So this is My parting command: Love one another deeply!”

Jesus tells us what it means to be an intimate friend so let us change our mind-set and priorities so that we will be known in Heaven as His intimate friends.

Good seed planted in good ground produces an abundant harvest.

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Philippians chapter 4:

19 I am convinced that my God will fully satisfy every need you have, for I have seen the abundant riches of glory revealed to me through the Anointed One, Jesus Christ!

The superintendent of the Kids in Need program we support said:

“Arguably the best start to school in my years in Bethany.  Servias Ministries is a big part of the success”.

All of you who give to Servias are planting good seed in these children’s hearts and it is making a difference.  Thank you for your sensitivity to The Holy Spirit.

Expect an abundant harvest… I do for I know that our giving is as pure as it gets.  Be assured, FATHER knows it too!

We will continue to plant seed each month in the lives of those in need. The kids have no idea where this support comes from but FATHER knows. Our support allows them to focus on learning and growing into their own calling rather than being self-conscious about living in “lack”. The village is in full swing and their “mentors” are excited about their ministry in helping these kids.
