Fear of failure is what every believer must overcome.

Your steps are ordered by Our Heavenly Father as you pursue Spiritual maturity and are led by The Holy Spirit.

It is written by The Holy Spirit in Psalm chapter 37:

23   The steps of the God-pursuing ones follow firmly in the footsteps of the Lord, and God delights in every step they take to follow him.

FATHER will not necessarily remove all obstacles but HE will show you the way to deal with them.  Adversity brings growth so don’t shy away from issues but instead confront them as The Holy Spirit leads you.  After all, we currently live in a broken world.

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Romans chapter 8:

5    Those who are motivated by the flesh only pursue what benefits themselves. But those who live by the impulses of the Holy Spirit are motivated to pursue spiritual realities. 6   For the mind-set of the flesh is death, but the mind-set controlled by the Spirit finds life and peace.

It is easy to determine those who live according to The Spirit of Love versus those who pursue selfish benefits.  There are those who put on a front to lead you to believe righteous intent but for the purpose of to control and/or manipulate you once you let your guard down.  The Holy Spirit will reveal their intent.

7   In fact, the mind-set focused on the flesh fights God’s plan and refuses to submit to His direction, because it cannot! 8   For no matter how hard they try, God finds no pleasure with those who are controlled by the flesh.

A soulish person has no clue concerning what direction they should be taking since they are blinded.  They don’t know what they don’t know!

9    But when the Spirit of Christ empowers your life, you are not dominated by the flesh but by the Spirit. And if you are not joined to the Spirit of the Anointed One, you are not of Him. 10   Now Christ lives His life in you! And even though your body may be dead because of the effects of sin, His life-giving Spirit imparts life to you because you are fully accepted by God.

Can you fathom what this means?  Christ is living in us so don’t let anything prevent Him from being expressed to others.  Put your soul and flesh into total submission to HIS Divine Intent which is inside you.  Every one of us are important. 

We each have a gift needful for the bringing forth of The Kingdom.  Let your gift come forth and produce the fruit FATHER intended.  Do not be afraid of failure!

What you do is because of who you are.

John wrote by The Holy Spirit in 1^st John chapter 5:

1   Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Messiah is God’s spiritual child and has been fathered by God himself. And everyone who Loves Father God Loves His children as well.

2  This is how we can be sure that we Love the children of God: by having a passionate Love for God and by obedience to His commands.  3 True Love for God means obeying His commands, and His commands don’t weigh us down as heavy burdens.  4   You see, every child of God overcomes the world, for our faith is the victorious power that triumphs over the world.

5 So who are the world conquerors, defeating its power? Those who believe that Jesus is the Son of God.

You and I are intended to defeat every aspect of the world thus we are not to be passive and sit around doing nothing.  We are the Divine expressions, the images, of Our Heavenly Father on earth.  As we shed all the worldliness and allow the Agape Love to come into full light, we will be the light-bearers intended by FATHER when HE formed us in the wombs.

Do not belittle yourself!  No longer think of yourself as a victim but rather think of yourself as a victorious warrior in Christ!  The key is Christ in us, the hope of glory.

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Colossians chapter 1:

27  Living within you is the Christ who floods you with the expectation of glory! This mystery of Christ, embedded within us, becomes a Heavenly treasure chest of hope filled with the riches of glory for his people, and God wants everyone to know it!

We need to move this hope inside to full manifestation here on earth.  This is where that hope is needed.  Once you and I get to Heaven, the riches will be all around and there is no further need to access them for the purpose of our callings here on earth.  This is where the action is!

We have the opportunity to express Agape Love throughout the day… every day!  That is called Love in action, not inaction.  No matter what our current state, expressing Love will dissolve those temporary issues around us.  They will cease to be overwhelming and will lose their impact on us.  The adversary wants to keep our attention diverted away from Jesus Christ.

28  Christ is our message! We preach to awaken hearts and bring every person into the full understanding of Truth. It has become my inspiration and passion in ministry to labor with a tireless intensity, with his power flowing through me, to present to every believer the revelation of being His perfect one in Jesus Christ.

The time is now for us to walk daily as being His perfect ones in Jesus Christ!  Why do we do this?  It is because of who we are!

We are funding 35 backpacks with school supplies and toiletries for the kids who will return to school in August. The school is ordering them now as required so as to ensure availability.

The parents will experience another example of unconditional Love from the donations of Servias Ministries.

Thank you!

Are you devaluing what GOD has done in your life?  Do you walk in the Fear of THE LORD or have you become lukewarm and moved your focus to the temporary?  What are your priorities today?  What were they yesterday?  (Don’t shoot the messenger.)

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Romans chapter 1:

21Throughout human history the fingerprints of God were upon them, yet they refused to honor Him as God or even be thankful for His kindness. Instead, they entertained corrupt and foolish thoughts about what God was like.  This left them with nothing but misguided hearts, steeped in moral darkness. 

How do you honor Him as GOD?  You magnify HIM above all else, you glorify HIM!  You exalt HIS Word above ALL ELSE and you are not reluctant to share HIS Truths with others.  Who cares if you are attacked, belittled, or blown off?  I don’t for I am laying up treasures in Heaven.  I must ask myself each morning, “What should I do today on behalf of Jesus Christ and my calling?”

What are you magnifying in your life?  Are you magnifying sickness or disease over the Healing power of GOD?  Did Jesus ever succumb to sickness or disease in His earthly ministry?  No, He showed the world the superiority of GOD over ALL sickness and disease.  Death could not prevail either.

Are you constantly focused on the temporary at the expense of the permanent?  Have you forgotten what FATHER has done in the past for you?  He delivered me from certain death at least five times in the past.  Who do you think I am going to align myself with?

“Pressure is a privilege.”  Without any pressure, you really don’t know how mature you really are for your character is not being challenged.  We are meant to confront challenges rather than run away from them.  Jesus was confronted frequently and He did not cower down but instead glorified Our Heavenly Father.

The Beloved Disciple recorded in John chapter 11:

1-2   In the village of Bethany there was a man named Lazarus, and his sisters, Mary and Martha. Mary was the one who would anoint Jesus’ feet with costly perfume and dry his feet with her long hair. One day Lazarus became very sick to the point of death.

3   So his sisters sent a message to Jesus, “Lord, our brother Lazarus, the one you Love, is very sick. Please come!” 4   When He heard this, he said, “This sickness will not end in death for Lazarus, but will bring glory and praise to God. This will reveal the greatness of the Son of God by what takes place.”

5    Now even though Jesus loved Mary, Martha, and Lazarus, He remained where He was for two more days. 7   Finally, on the third day, He said to His disciples, “Come. It’s time to go to Bethany.”  8   “But Teacher,” they said to Him, “do You really want to go back there? It was just a short time ago the people of Judea were going to stone You!”

Was Jesus reluctant to return to Bethany?  Absolutely not!  He knew that He was fully led by The Holy Spirit to bring glory and praise to GOD.

9   Jesus replied, “Are there not twelve hours of daylight in every day? You can go through a day without the fear of stumbling when you walk in the One who gives light to the world. But you will stumble when the light is not in you, for you’ll be walking in the dark.”

Jesus reveals a crucial Truth here when He said “You can go through a day without the fear of stumbling when you walk in the One who gives light to the world.”  We need to keep this Truth at the forefront.

11   Then Jesus added, “Lazarus, our friend, has just fallen asleep. It’s time that I go and awaken him.” 12   When they heard this, the disciples replied, “Lord, if he has just fallen asleep, then he’ll get better.” 13   Jesus was speaking about Lazarus’ death, but the disciples presumed he was talking about natural sleep. 14   Then Jesus made it plain to them, “Lazarus is dead. 15   And for your sake, I’m glad I wasn’t there, because now you have another opportunity to see who I am so that you will learn to trust in Me. Come, let’s go and see him.”

We need to trust in Jesus and His Words to us.  His Words glorify Our Heavenly Father without exception.  We too are called to magnify Our Heavenly Father in our daily walk.

16   So Thomas, nicknamed the Twin, remarked to the other disciples, “Let’s go so that we can die with him.”  17    Now when they arrived at Bethany, which was only about two miles from Jerusalem, Jesus found that Lazarus had already been in the tomb for four days.

The Jews believed that by the fourth day, a man’s spirit had totally departed.  Jesus dispelled that notion.

19   Many friends of Mary and Martha had come from the region to console them over the loss of their brother.  20 And when Martha heard that Jesus was approaching the village, she went out to meet him, but Mary stayed in the house. 21   Martha said to Jesus, “My Lord, if only you had come sooner, my brother wouldn’t have died. 22    But I know that if you were to ask God for anything, He would do it for you.” 23    Jesus told her, “Your brother will rise and live.”

Martha was partially there in glorifying GOD.  However, she was not convinced that the resurrection power could immediately return Lazarus to life.  She deferred to the future but Jesus lives in the “now”.

24    She replied, “Yes, I know he will rise with everyone else on resurrection day.”  25    “Martha,” Jesus said, “You don’t have to wait until then. I am the Resurrection, and I am Life Eternal. Anyone who clings to me in faith, even though he dies, will live forever.  26   And the one who lives by believing in me will never die. Do you believe this?” 27   Then Martha replied, “Yes, Lord, I do! I’ve always believed that you are the Anointed One, the Son of God Who has come into the world for us!”

34    Jesus said to them, “Where did you bury him?” “Lord, come with us and we’ll show you,” they replied. 35   Then tears streamed down Jesus’ face. 36   Seeing Jesus weep caused many of the mourners to say, “Look how much He loved Lazarus.” 37   Yet others said, “Isn’t this the One who opens blind eyes? Why didn’t He do something to keep Lazarus from dying?” 38    Then Jesus, with intense emotions, came to the tomb— a cave with a stone placed over its entrance. 39   Jesus told them, “Roll away the stone.” Then Martha said, “But Lord, it’s been four days since he died—by now his body is already decomposing!” 40    Jesus looked at her and said, “Didn’t I tell you that if you will believe in Me, you will see God unveil HIS power?”

Jesus continues to show the people FATHER’S Glory.  He did not allow death to devalue FATHER’S Glory.

41   So they rolled away the heavy stone. Jesus gazed into Heaven and said, “Father, thank You that You have heard My prayer, 42   for You listen to every word I speak. Now, so that these who stand here with Me will believe that You have sent Me to the earth as Your messenger, I will use the power You have given Me.” 43    Then with a loud voice Jesus shouted with authority: “Lazarus! Come out of the tomb!” 44  Then in front of everyone, Lazarus, who had died four days earlier, slowly hobbled out—he still had grave clothes tightly wrapped around his hands and feet and covering his face! Jesus said to them, “Unwrap him and let him loose.”

Jesus consistently glorified Our Heavenly Father in all His Words and actions.  He continually confirmed the power and authority from Heaven which supersedes everything on this earth.  This is Who we should be glorifying in our daily walk.  Don’t let the temporary devalue FATHER’s glory in any way!

The Holy Fire will expose all unrighteousness for all men to behold.  This exposure will cause many believers to repent of their lukewarmness as they see the lies they have allowed to persist around them.

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Romans chapter 1:

18   For God in heaven unveils his holy anger breaking forth against every form of sin, both toward ungodliness that lives in hearts and evil actions. For the wickedness of humanity deliberately smothers the Truth and keeps people from acknowledging the Truth about God. 19   In reality, the Truth of God is known instinctively, for God has embedded this knowledge inside every human heart. 

20   Opposition to Truth cannot be excused on the basis of ignorance, because from the creation of the world, the invisible qualities of God’s nature have been made visible, such as His Eternal power and transcendence. He has made his wonderful attributes easily perceived, for seeing the visible makes us understand the invisible.  So then, this leaves everyone without excuse.

There is no such thing as plausible deniability.  It is actually an excuse to claim ignorance when you are well aware of man’s intent.  Ignorance is no excuse as is made clear in this passage.  We do our children a disservice when we fail to bring God’s easily perceived attributes to their attention.  The sun, moon, planets, and stars all declare HIS Glory!

21Throughout human history the fingerprints of God were upon them, yet they refused to honor Him as God or even be thankful for His kindness. Instead, they entertained corrupt and foolish thoughts about what God was like.  This left them with nothing but misguided hearts, steeped in moral darkness. 22Although claiming to be wise, they were in fact shallow fools.  23For only a fool would trade the unfading splendor of the immortal God to worship the fading image of other humans, idols made to look like people, animals, birds, and even creeping reptiles!

When you glorify humans, idols, animals, birds, etc. (the temporary), you effectively reduce the Glory that FATHER deserves in your life.  You have esteemed HIM less and esteemed the created more.  Each of us must ask what is being held in high esteem in our hearts.  It is crucial to repent of this now.

24This is why God lifted off His restraining hand and let them have full expression of their sinful and shameful desires. They were given over to moral depravity, dishonoring their bodies by sexual perversion among themselves—25all because they traded the Truth of God for a lie.  They worshiped and served the things God made rather than the God Who made all things—glory and praises to Him forever and ever! Amen!

Why would anyone trade a Truth for a lie unless they are not in their right mind?  Jesus exposed the lies and we are called to do the same.  Can we afford to do otherwise?  If judgment is coming soon, it is critical to spread the Good News and not be silent any longer.

26-27   For this reason God gave them over to their own disgraceful and vile passions.  Enflamed with lust for one another, men and women ignored the natural order and exchanged normal sexual relations for homosexuality. Women engaged in lesbian conduct, and men committed shameful acts with men, receiving in themselves the due penalty for their deviation. 

28And because they thought it was worthless to embrace the true knowledge of God, God gave them over to a worthless mind-set, to break all rules of proper conduct. 

29Their sinful lives became full of every kind of evil, wicked schemes, greed, and cruelty. Their hearts overflowed with jealous cravings, and with conflict and strife, which drove them into hateful arguments and murder. They are deceitful liars full of hostility. They are gossips 30who love to spread malicious slander. With inflated egos they hurl hateful insults at God, yet they are nothing more than arrogant boasters. They are rebels against their parents and totally immoral. 

31They are senseless, faithless, ruthless, heartless, and completely merciless.  32Although they are fully aware of God’s laws and proper order, and knowing that those who do all of these things deserve to die, yet they still go headlong into darkness, encouraging others to do the same and applauding them when they do!

The Holy Spirit has totally exposed the mindsets of the disgraceful and vile.  Those who have pursued such perversities mentioned above are actively attempting to indoctrinate our kids with their perversities.  We must stand up and no longer be passive in these areas.  Is your local library participating in this infiltration?

Have you ever noticed how Christians are about the only ones that can be targeted concerning their expressed views of the unrighteous?  The ungodly call it hate when a believer simply quotes Scripture similar to the above verses yet they can get away with their parades, attempts to sway kids, attempting to change the definitions of male and female on bathroom signs, birth certificates, etc.  Who hates who?  We are seeing the battle lines drawn now and the Remnant will not tolerate such sin to be left unchecked.  Now is the time to expose the lies promoted by the ungodly and it can only be done by being totally led by The Holy Spirit.  He will pick our battles so we need not take any action apart from His specific direction.  Jesus is our best Example.

How will Holy Fire manifest Itself in the current environment?

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

3   Don’t let anyone deceive you in any way. Before that day comes the rebellion must occur and the “outlaw”—the destructive son—will be revealed in his true light. 4    He is the opposing counterpart who exalts himself over everything that is called “God” or is worshiped and who sits enthroned in God’s temple and makes himself out to be a god. 5   Don’t you remember that when I was with you I went over all these things? 6   Now you are aware of the ruling power so that he may be fully revealed when his time comes. 7   For the mystery of lawlessness is already active, but the one who prevails will do so until he is separated from out of the midst. 8   Then the “outlaw” will be openly revealed, and the Lord will overthrow him by the breath of His Mouth and bring him to an end by the dazzling manifestation of His Presence.

As we magnify The Lord in us and fully walk in His Image, we will bring forth His dazzling Presence in the midst of the enemy.  His Presence will be Holy Fire and burn away the deceptions surrounding the lawless ones who have hidden in plain sight.  This will enable us to see beyond the deceptions listed below:

9   The presence of the “outlaw” is apparent by the activity of Satan, who uses all kinds of counterfeit miracles, signs, spurious wonders, 10   and every form of evil deception in order to deceive those who are perishing because they rejected the Love of the Truth that would lead them to being saved.

When a person rejects the Love of the Truth, he or she moves to a reprobate mind which ensures judgment on their lives.  The LGBTQRSTUV community is the epitome of embracing a reprobate mind.  (Romans 1:26-32)

11   Because of this, God sends them a powerful delusion that leads them to believe what is false. 12   So then all who found their pleasure in unrighteousness and did not believe the Truth will be judged.

13   We always have to thank God for you, brothers and sisters, for you are dearly Loved by the Lord. He proved it by choosing you from the beginning for salvation through the Spirit, who set you apart for Holiness, and through your belief in the Truth. 14   To this end HE handpicked you for salvation through the Gospel so that you would have the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.

It is vital that we dwell on the above two verses!  You and I were handpicked for both salvation and to walk in the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.  Embrace this Truth.

15 So then, dear family, stand firm with a masterful grip of the teachings we gave you, either by word of mouth or by our letter. 16   Now may the Lord Jesus Christ and our Father God, who Loved us and in His wonderful grace gave us eternal comfort and a beautiful hope that cannot fail, 17   encourage your hearts and inspire you with strength to always do and speak what is good and beautiful in His Eyes.

Yes, there is a dramatic increase in the deceptions by the god of this world.  FATHER is not surprised for HE specifically selected you and me to come into full maturity and confront these deceptions with Holy Fire brought on by the dazzling Glory of Our Lord Jesus Christ.
