FATHER wants us all to be overcomers.  HE wants us to be in “harmony” with HIM.  It is time for breakthrough!

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Romans chapter 8:

1So now the case is closed. There remains no accusing voice of condemnation against those who are joined in life-union with Jesus, the Anointed One.  2For the “law” of the Spirit of life flowing through the anointing of Jesus has liberated us from the “law” of sin and death.

We are in life-union with Jesus and it is time to be in harmony with Him.  What is harmony? 

Harmony is:

The combination of different musical notes played or sung at the same time to produce a pleasing sound. Examples: She taught him how to sing harmony . || A song with complicated harmonies and rhythms.

A pleasing combination or arrangement of different things. Example: A harmony of flavors/colors.

The combination of simultaneous musical notes in a chord. Example: She taught him how to sing harmony .

The structure of music with respect to the composition and progression of chords. Example: A song with complicated harmonies and rhythms.

The science of the structure, relation, and progression of chords.

We need to be in harmony with our books written in Heaven.  How do I personally accomplish this?  I pray in The Holy Spirit first thing in the morning before I focus on anything else.  I will also pray at times throughout the day as I am led.  I encourage you to do the same.  Timing is everything in harmony but also we must purpose to hear, respond, and be led in what to do as well.  I was clearly not in harmony with FATHER when I looked at 200 houses before HE directed me to the one I am in now (details in last blog).

I played in a band for six years prior to receiving the Baptism of The Holy Spirit in October of 1971.  We were reasonably successful.  I sang harmony as a backup to our lead singers and so I understood timing within the context of harmony.  If we were not in synch, it was terrible.  If one of us did not know the words to the song, it was ugly.  We had to become accomplished in the area of harmony, it took practice and commitment to learn the words.  This caused us to be successful and be in demand.

FATHER established perfect harmony in Heaven for there are songs of praise and worship where everyone is in harmony.  HE wants this same harmony among HIS Sons and Daughters here on earth.  We do this through unity of Love and faith as we mature.  After all, this IS the purpose of the fivefold ministry HE ordained.

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Ephesians chapter 4:

11And He has appointed some with grace to be apostles, and some with grace to be prophets, and some with grace to be evangelists,  and some with grace to be pastors,  and some with grace to be teachers. 

12And their calling is to nurture and prepare all the Holy believers to do their own works of ministry, and as they do this they will enlarge and build up the body of Christ. 13These grace ministries will function until we all attain oneness into the faith, until we all experience the fullness of what it means to know the Son of God, and finally we become one into a perfect man with the full dimensions of spiritual maturity and fully developed into the abundance of Christ.

14And then our immaturity will end! And we will not be easily shaken by trouble, nor led astray by novel teachings or by the false doctrines of deceivers who teach clever lies.

Do the ministries you are associated with promote this mandate?  If not, they are promoting their own interests and doing you a disservice.  No one is called to be a “pew warmer” for decades.

Harmony is all about knowing The Word, hearing The Holy Spirit, and walking in His timing by not being impatient.  We are to be doers of The Word and not hearers only.  Faith without works is dead.  If I had the greatest gift of faith that could move mountains, but have never learned to Love, then I am nothing.  Perfect harmony requires Love as the motivating force.  This will perfect our life-union with Jesus and we will qualify as His Bride.

Paul further wrote by The Holy Spirit in Romans chapter 8:

38  So now I live with the confidence that there is nothing in the universe with the power to separate us from God’s Love. I’m convinced that His Love will triumph over death, life’s troubles, fallen angels, or dark rulers in the heavens. There is nothing in our present or future circumstances that can weaken His Love.

39There is no power above us or beneath us—no power that could ever be found in the universe that can distance us from God’s passionate Love, which is lavished upon us through our Lord Jesus, the Anointed One!

The only thing keeping us from walking in the fullness of the above passages is our decision to place our focus elsewhere.  Be assured it is not worth it to do so.  Everything in the world is temporary by nature so why don’t we focus on what is permanent and walk in harmony with Our Loving Father!

FATHER wants us all to be overcomers.  Why?  HE desires a family to fellowship with and to express HIS unconditional Love.

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Romans chapter 8:

14The mature children of God are those who are moved by the impulses of the Holy Spirit. 15And you did not receive the “spirit of religious duty,” leading you back into the fear of never being good enough.  But you have received the “Spirit of full acceptance,” enfolding you into the family of God. And you will never feel orphaned, for as He rises up within us, our spirits join Him in saying the words of tender affection, “Beloved Father!”

The greater the revelation of Agape Love, the greater level of maturity as a Son or a Daughter.  This is why The Holy Spirit continually emphasizes Agape Love in many of my writings.  This is why He has led me to use The Passion Translation (TPT) as the primary Scriptural reference in most of the New Testament books.

In 1998 when I was studying the Scriptures in the area of the meaning of numbers and Biblical names, FATHER suddenly spoke to me about the address of my house.  HE had directed us to buy this particular house even though we had been focused elsewhere.  We had not looked in Bethany for any houses back in 1991-92, but were looking to the north side of Oklahoma City.  HE had a different plan.  After looking at over 200 houses to the north (wasting time and energy on Saturdays for over a year) and never getting peace, one Saturday morning HE spoke to me and told me to go by this particular house in Bethany. 

The owner was outside and invited me in to look at the house.  I knew this was the one.  I took my wife by and she confirmed in her spirit.  Little did we know, we took possession of the house on the 1^st day of Tabernacles that year.  Had I simply waited on a Word from FATHER instead of looking at 200 houses, my life would have been much simpler and more productive… clearly, I was less mature at the time and notably impatient.

Back to 1998.  HE told me that my address was prophetic.  I looked up the name and it represented the two Covenants of entering the Promised Land, one at Gilgal and the other at Shechem.  I was all excited about the revelation.  Then HE said, “That is not all, the street number is also important.”  The number is 2005.  “I will give you a revelation in that year.”  Are you kidding?  I had to wait seven years?

For the entire year of 2005 I waited.  Of course HE gave me The Word in December.  HE said “You are to focus foremost on Agape Love and set aside your past focus in other areas.”  HE then told me to set up Servias Ministries in 2006.  It was never my idea to do this.  HE instructed me to write blogs and minister through this entity.  Here we are!  As you can see, by faith I followed HIS instructions.  The adversary has attempted to take me out multiple times since but FATHER has protected me from those attempts, even with direct angelic intervention.  Am I special?  No more than you for we are all meant to be HIS mature children and fellowship with HIM at HIS table with Christ.  As you can see, I had to exercise faith without knowing any details other than what HE spoke to me.  HE did not explain the future in any detail.  Be assured, those details are in the book written in Heaven before I was born.  You and I simply need to trust HIS Word to us.  Walk in Love foremost and then walk in faith by Love.

28 So we are convinced that every detail of our lives is continually woven together for good, for we are HIS Lovers who have been called to fulfill HIS designed purpose.

29 For HE knew all about us before we were born and HE destined us from the beginning to share the likeness of HIS Son. This means the Son is the oldest among a vast family of brothers and sisters who will become just like Him.

30 Having determined our destiny ahead of time, HE called us to HIMSELF and transferred HIS perfect righteousness to everyone HE called. And those who possess HIS perfect righteousness HE co-glorified with HIS Son!

What a Word of encouragement!  As we walk out our destiny being led by The Holy Spirit in a greater degree, we will be “co-glorified” with Jesus, our Elder Brother.  This is our destiny and the fact you are reading this is your assurance of FATHER’S Divine Intent for your life.  The time is now, not seven years from now.

When I downloaded a copy of TPT on my phone, I received the following welcome link, it may add to the perspective of why I use this translation so much:

FATHER is using several differnt sources to disclose the Truth versus the lies. Many people have short memories so Jim Rickards sums up the last two years concerning COVID:

https://dailyreckoning.com/the-narrative-is-collapsing/

The real solution to a pandemic starts in the Spiritual realm and the church should be leading the way to health and healing. Overall, it was found lacking.

The Word is a Seed, when planted in good ground, will supernaturally activate and release resurrection power and produce supernatural results in the physical world.

Most people are dominated by sight rather than by faith.  This is the source of the problem when dealing with life’s affairs.  FATHER provided us the solution by imparting HIS Words to HIS Holy Son as well as the Apostles who wrote by revelation given to them by The Holy Spirit.  What motivated HIM to provide the keys of the Kingdom to us?  Love!

Jesus spoke in Mark chapter 4:

26 Jesus also told them this parable: “God’s Kingdom realm is like someone spreading seed on the ground. 27 He goes to bed and gets up, day after day, and the seed sprouts and grows tall, though he knows not how. 28 All by itself it sprouts, and the soil produces a crop; first the green stem, then the head on the stalk, and then the fully developed grain in the head. 29 Then, when the grain is ripe, he immediately puts the sickle to the grain, because harvest time has come.”

How long are you willing to persevere until your seed finally comes forth to harvest time?  Days, weeks, months, years?  How long did Abraham wait for the son of promise?  How long did Mary wait for the promise given by Gabriel to produce full manifestation?  Thirty years?

You can see sickness in your body but you can’t physically see healing in your spirit until your spirit overtakes your eyes and you see the solution manifest in the spirit.  As you and I plant seed in our hearts (aka soil), a supernatural event takes place.  The devil and his minions know this Truth and that is why Jesus explained what happens when He taught concerning the parable of the hearts in the same chapter of Mark:

4:10 Afterward, Jesus’ disciples and those close to him remained behind to ask Jesus about his parables. 11 He said to them, “The privilege of intimately knowing the mystery of God’s Kingdom realm has been granted to you, but not to the others, where everything is revealed in parables.

12 “For even when they see what I do, they will not understand, and when they hear what I say, they will learn nothing, otherwise they would repent and be forgiven.”

13 Then He said to them, “If you don’t understand this parable, how will you understand any parable? 14 Let me explain: The farmer sows the message of the Kingdom. 15 What falls on the beaten path represents those who hear the message, but immediately satan appears and snatches it from their hearts.

This first group had no understanding thus it was easy to snatch the Word from their hearts.

16 And what is sown on gravel represents those who hear the message and receive it joyfully, 17 but because their hearts fail to sink a deep root, they don’t endure for long. For when trouble or persecution comes on account of the message, they immediately wilt and fall away.

This group allowed temptation to become their focus rather than The Word thus they did not give The Word time to “root” in their hearts because they did not water the Word.

18 And what is sown among thorns represents those who hear the message, 19 but they allow the cares of this life and the seduction of wealth and the desires for other things to crowd out and choke the message so that it produces nothing.

This group relied on their physical eyes to guide them and they focused on the seductions of the world.

20 “But what is sown on good soil represents those who open their hearts to receive the message and their lives bear good fruit—some yield a harvest of thirty, sixty, even a hundredfold!”

Only the fourth group was successful in walking by faith and allowing the Seed to grow in their hearts.  They were patient in allowing the roots to develop and expand so that there would be a solid foundation for the seed to develop into a fruit-bearing tree.  This is such a simple Truth if only we would follow its directives.

It is written by The Holy Spirit in Hebrews chapter 6:

7 For men’s hearts are just like the soil that drinks up the showers which often fall upon it. Some soil will yield crops as God’s blessing upon the field. 8 But if the field continues to produce only thorns and thistles a curse hangs over it and it will be burned.

9 Even though we speak like this, beloved, we are fully convinced that there are more beautiful and excellent things, which flow from your salvation.

10 For God, the Faithful One, is not unfair. How can He forget the beautiful work you have done for Him? He remembers the Love you demonstrate as you continually serve His Beloved ones for the glory of His Name. 11 But we long to see you passionately advance until the end and you find your hope fulfilled. 12 So don’t allow your hearts to grow dull or lose your enthusiasm, but follow the example of those who fully received what God has promised because of their strong faith and patient endurance

As you and I continue to sow The Word in our hearts AND walk in strong faith and patience, we will produce Spiritual fruit in our lives.  Our fruit will be determined by the seed we have sown into our hearts.  It is essential that we sow in all areas and not be void in any provision deposited within us.

These are the realities of The Word:  they are specifically meant for our instruction and correction.  They ultimately result in the fullness of FATHER’S expression of HIS Love for us.  The Word is a Seed planted in us designed to be fruitful.

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

16 God has transmitted HIS very Substance into every Scripture, for it is God-breathed. It will empower you by Its instruction and correction, giving you the strength to take the right direction and lead you deeper into the path of Godliness. 17 Then you will be God’s servant, fully mature and perfectly prepared to fulfill any assignment God gives you.

We must plant FATHER’S Substance in our hearts (aka earth) in order to yield fruitfulness.  No seed, no fruit, it is that simple.  If I plant seed daily into my heart, then when the harvest comes, I will produce good fruit daily and other people will partake of that fruit.

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

23 Now, may the God of peace and harmony set you apart, making you completely Holy. And may your entire being—spirit, soul, and body—be kept completely flawless in the appearing of our Lord Jesus, the Anointed One. 24 The One Who calls you by name is trustworthy and will thoroughly complete His work in you.

We are made up of three parts.  Our spirit is perfected when we accept Jesus as Lord.  There are no immediate changes to the soul or body.  The soul needs to be renewed by The Word and finally the body lines up with both the spirit and the soul.  For the believer, the soul is where the focus must lie.  Maturing the soul by planting Seed in the heart brings forth renewal.  Our mind, will, and emotions will ultimately submit to The Word as we continually renew our minds.

Jesus spoke in Mark chapter 4:

26 And He said, “The Kingdom of God is as if a man should scatter seed on the ground, 27 and should sleep by night and rise by day, and the seed should sprout and grow, he himself does not know how. 28 For the earth yields crops by itself: first the blade, then the head, after that the full grain in the head. 29 But when the grain ripens, immediately he puts in the sickle, because the harvest has come.”

There is a time lapse for The Word to bring forth fruit and it is specific to each person.  There is no “standard” to reference since we are all unique.  It does not matter to me how long it takes to produce fruit in some area of my life that is lacking.  I will not be denied and neither should you.

Can you become unfruitful in an area when you were fruitful in the past?  Absolutely!  It has happened to me thus I speak from personal experience.  If we don’t continue to plant FATHER’S Word in a specific area, our fruitfulness will wane to the point where we become void of HIS Word in that area.  I once received a corrective Word from HIM specifically in the area of healing.

I urge you to renew your mind by The Word on a daily basis.  Don’t become lax in doing this.

What is your focus? Every seed produces at its own kind.  What seed do you choose to plant: spiritual or fleshly, faith or feeling?

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 sense and reason of the flesh is death, but the mind-set controlled by the Spirit finds life and peace.

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. 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.

If we allow ourselves to get caught up in the affairs of the world, we begin to plant seeds which will compete for our resources just as weeds compete for nourishment intended for our spiritual fruit.  If we keep our minds focused on The SPIRIT, we produce life and peace, and in turn, all our affairs turn productive in an exceeding, abundant orientation.  We no longer spend time and energy on counterproductive activities.  I can testify of this Truth.  When I walk accordingly, success finds me and it will do the same for you for FATHER sees to HIS Word coming to pass in people’s lives.

It is written by THE SPIRIT in Proverbs chapter 23:

7  For as he thinks in his heart, so is he.

It’s all about what is in the heart, good or bad, life or death, peace or turmoil.

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.

Since the Truth is in Jesus and His Words are life, we are to focus our attention especially on His Words found in the Gospels.  We must not allow ourselves to become complacent in this area toward lukewarmness.

Jesus spoke in John chapter 6:

63 “The Holy Spirit is the One who gives life, that which is of the natural realm is of no help. The Words I speak to you are Spirit and life. But there are still some of you who won’t believe.” 64 In fact, Jesus already knew from the beginning who the skeptics were and who his traitor would be.

65 He went on to say, “This is why I told you that no one embraces Me unless the Father has given you to me.”

Can you understand the ramifications of His statement?  The mere fact you are reading these blogs indicate that FATHER has designated you for this time and wants to be intimately involved in every aspect of your life.  Align your focus with HIS priorities and watch the doors open wide (or wider).  You will be astounded and you will become a history changer!

Paul also wrote by The Holy Spirit in Galatians chapter 5:

24 Keep in mind that we who belong to Jesus Christ have already experienced crucifixion. For everything connected with our self-life was put to death on the cross and crucified with Messiah. 25 If the Spirit is the Source of our life, we must also allow the Spirit to direct every aspect of our lives.

Amen!

GOD is not in control of everything that happens on the earth!  This is a doctrine of man and now is the time to confront it.  We have accountability and responsibility for what happens on this earth.  Doctrines of man tried to hide or dilute this responsibility so that we would not produce good fruit for The Kingdom.

James wrote by The Holy Spirit in chapter 2:

26 For just as a human body without the spirit is a dead corpse, so faith without the expression of good works is dead!

The spirit is life, so life does not have its source in the carnal man.  Life is not about a bigger house, a bigger bank account, cars, jewelry, or fame. It is about being connected with Our Heavenly Father and growing in intimacy with HIM.  The adversary wants to keep us blinded and ignorant of FATHER’S desire for intimacy arising out of Agape Love.

Jesus shared this Truth in Luke chapter 12:

15 Speaking to the people, Jesus continued, “Be alert and guard your heart from greed and from always wishing for what you don’t have. For your life can never be measured by the amount of things you possess.”

16 Jesus then gave them this illustration: “A wealthy land owner had a farm that produced bumper crops. Every year the harvest was so great it filled his barns to overflowing! 17 He thought, ‘What should I do now that every barn is full and I have nowhere else to store more? 18 I know what I’ll do! I’ll tear down the barns and build one massive barn to hold all my grain and goods. 19 Then I can just sit back, surrounded with comfort and ease. I’ll enjoy life with no worries at all.’

20 “God said to him, ‘What a fool you are to trust in your riches and not in Me! This very night the messengers of death will demand to take your life. Then who will get all the wealth you have stored up for yourself?’ 21 The same thing will happen to all those who fill up their lives with everything but God.”

We are spirit beings and we are to be one with GOD just as Adam and Eve were before the fall.  FATHER frequently walked with them in the cool of the day.  HE wants that same relationship with each of us by HIS SPIRIT.  HE desires no separation like what happened to Adam and Eve when they submitted to the deception of the serpent.  Have you ever wondered why Eve didn’t wait until FATHER arrived to ask HIM concerning the “potential” deception?  The adversary went after her innocence.  She had not experienced deception prior to his questions.

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Romans chapter 6:

23 For sin’s meager wages is death, but God’s lavish gift is life eternal, found in your union with our Lord Jesus, the Anointed One.

We are meant to be in union with Our Lord Jesus Christ throughout each day.  This union is achieved by placing our focus on being led by The Holy Spirit and dwelling on HIS Words, especially those recorded in the Gospels.  We must not allow ourselves to become void of The Word in any area.  Otherwise, we open ourselves up to deception in that area of weakness.  I know this by personal experience!

We must not allow man’s doctrines, some based on a single passage, to divert our attention away from FATHER’S Divine Intent.  In Deuteronomy chapter 19, it is written by THE SPIRIT:

15  … by the mouth of two or three witnesses the matter shall be established.

Jesus referred to this Truth in Matthew chapter 18:

15 “If your fellow believer sins against you,[l] you must go to that one privately and attempt to resolve the matter. If he responds, your relationship is restored.[m] 16 But if his heart is closed to you, then go to him again, taking one or two others with you. You’ll be fulfilling what the Scripture teaches when it says, ‘Every word may be verified by the testimony of two or three witnesses.’

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in 2^nd Corinthians chapter 13:

13 This will be my third trip to you. And I will make sure that by the testimony of two or three witnesses every matter will be confirmed.

And in 1^st Timothy chapter 5:

19 Refuse to listen to suspicious accusations against the pastors who lead the flock unless you have two or three witnesses to confirm the accusations.

Had Eve (or Adam) understood the need to have two or three witnesses confirm the words of the serpent, the fall would not have occurred.  Once they gave the adversary their consent and cooperation, he acquired their dominion of power and authority thus becoming the god of this world.

Let this be a warning, do not base a doctrine on an obscure Scripture that has no confirming passages elsewhere.  Some so-called experts will wrap their logic and reasoning around a passage to create their own doctrine.  This is often done to promote themselves and add followers who will support such doctrines.  They will suggest to those who will embrace such doctrines that they are in some elite and special group.  I have been exposed to such attempts more than once and only had to inspect the fruit or the lack thereof!

The devil tried to use Scripture to get Jesus to consent to his power when Jesus was confronted by him in the wilderness.  He did this three times so that he could claim the Truth of his continued power being established by “three witnesses”.  Jesus didn’t submit to this deception, neither should we.

Jesus spoke in Luke chapter 10:

17 When the seventy missionaries returned to Jesus, they were ecstatic with joy, telling him, “Lord, even the demons obeyed us when we commanded them in Your Name!”

18 Jesus replied, “While you were ministering, I watched Satan topple until he fell suddenly from heaven like lightning to the ground. 19 Now you understand that I have imparted to you my authority to trample over his kingdom. You will trample upon every demon before you and overcome every power Satan possesses. Absolutely nothing will harm you as you walk in this authority.

Jesus did not deny the power and authority of satan yet He understood and operated in the power and authority given to Him which superseded satan’s lesser authority.  We must not be ignorant of this Truth spoken by Jesus Himself.

20 However, your real source of joy isn’t merely that these spirits submit to your authority, but that your names are written in the journals of Heaven and that you belong to God’s Kingdom. This is the true source of your authority.”

21 Then Jesus, overflowing with the Holy Spirit’s joy, exclaimed, “Father, thank You, for you are Lord Supreme over Heaven and earth! You have hidden the great revelation of this authority from those who are proud, those wise in their own eyes, and you have shared it with these who humbled themselves. Yes, Father. This is what pleases Your heart: to give these things to those who are like trusting children.”

22 “Father, You have entrusted Me with all that You have. No one fully knows the Son except the Father. And no one fully knows the Father except the Son. But the Son is able to reveal the Father to anyone He chooses.”

To whom does Jesus reveal Our Heavenly Father?  To the humble, those that are trusting Sons and Daughters.   Let us not give up any power or authority by consenting or cooperating with the enemy in any way, shape, or form.  We must not forget the lesson learned in the Garden.  It took the Blood of Jesus to totally wipe away the power and authority of the adversary and his minions.  We are to walk in the Truths spoken by Jesus as well as The Holy Spirit.

FATHER created us for fellowship and to share Agape Love in Its purest form.  It started with the first Adam but required the second Adam to restore the pleasure of fellowship.  Let us keep this Truth in mind as we walk out each day.

John 3: 16 For here is the way God Loved the world—He gave His only, unique Son as a gift. So now everyone who believes in Him will never perish but experience everlasting life.

17 “God did not send his Son into the world to judge and condemn the world, but to be its Savior and rescue it!”

You and I have been rescued!  Don’t yield yourself to the adversary in any area of your life.  Don’t consent or cooperate with any doctrine that attempts to discredit the Love of GOD by promoting the idea that HE has promoted stealing, killing, or destroying life in any form, no matter how subtle the argument or logic.

GOD is not in control of everything that happens on the earth!  This is a doctrine of man and now is the time to confront it.  Additionally, GOD did not create the devil, man allowed this to happen.  The devil stole the authority from Adam by employing deception.

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

2 We reject every shameful cover-up and refuse to resort to cunning trickery or distorting the Word of God. Instead, we open up our souls to you by presenting the Truth to everyone’s conscience in the sight and Presence of God. 3 Even if our Gospel message is veiled, it is only veiled to those who are perishing, 4 for their minds have been blinded by the god of this age, leaving them in unbelief. Their blindness keeps them from seeing the dayspring light of the Gospel of the glory of Christ, Who is the Divine Image of God.

The adversary has used cunning trickery and distortion of GOD’S Word to keep people blinded from the power and authority granted to the believer which is now deposited in the believer awaiting activation.  Jesus overcame the devil by His Blood yet most believers want FATHER to intervene because they assume HE is in total control of everything on earth.  This allows them to shirk their responsibility in their eyes even though it is totally wrong.  They are blinded by the adversary.

Jesus spoke in Matthew chapter 28:

18 Then Jesus came close to them and said, “All authority of the universe (Heaven and earth) has been given to Me. 19 Now wherever you go, make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the Name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. 20 And teach them to faithfully follow all that I have commanded you. And never forget that I am with you every day, even to the completion of this age.”

As the son of man, Jesus legally took back the power and authority from the devil.  This allowed Him to direct the disciples to go forth and produce good fruit for The Kingdom of Heaven.  They were to take back real estate previously held by the god of this world (age).  Jesus restored the Divine Intent of the Covenant with Adam.

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Colossian chapter 2:

6 In the same way you received Jesus our Lord and Messiah by faith, continue your journey of faith, progressing further into your union with Him! 7 Your spiritual roots go deeply into His life as you are continually infused with strength, encouraged in every way. For you are established in the faith you have absorbed and enriched by your devotion to Him!

8 Beware that no one distracts you or intimidates you in their attempt to lead you away from Christ’s fullness by pretending to be full of wisdom when they’re filled with endless arguments of human logic. For they operate with humanistic and clouded judgments based on the mindset of this world system, and not the anointed Truths of the Anointed One.

The devil will use certain “ministries” to promote doctrines and arguments contrary to The Word.  They will lead us away from Christ’s fullness and His necessity to provide for our salvation.  They are often filled with endless arguments, some based on a single Scripture which they have interpreted to support their doctrine.  We should require two or three witnesses to any major doctrine.   Those ministries can be identified by their lack of good fruit and the lack of the operation of The Holy Spirit in their meetings.

9 For He is the complete fullness of Deity living in human form. 10 And our own completeness is now found in Him. We are completely filled with God as Christ’s fullness overflows within us. He is the Head of every kingdom and authority in the universe!

11 Through our union with Him we have experienced circumcision of heart. All of the guilt and power of sin has been cut away and is now extinct because of what Christ, the Anointed One, has accomplished for us.

12 For we’ve been buried with Him into His death. Our “baptism into death” also means we were raised with Him when we believed in God’s resurrection power, the power that raised Him from death’s realm. 13 This “realm of death” describes our former state, for we were held in sin’s grasp. But now, we’ve been resurrected out of that “realm of death” never to return, for we are forever alive and forgiven of all our sins!

14 He canceled out every legal violation we had on our record and the old arrest warrant that stood to indict us. He erased it all—our sins, our stained soul—He deleted it all and they cannot be retrieved! Everything we once were in Adam has been placed onto His cross and nailed permanently there as a public display of cancellation.

15 Then Jesus made a public spectacle of all the powers and principalities of darkness, stripping away from them every weapon and all their spiritual authority and power to accuse us. And by the power of the cross, Jesus led them around as prisoners in a procession of triumph. He was not their prisoner; they were His!

Matthew wrote by The Holy Spirit in chapter 10:

1 Jesus gathered His twelve disciples and imparted to them authority to cast out demons and to heal every sickness and every disease.

Jesus was filled with The Holy Spirit as the Son of man and understood the power and authority from Heaven given to Him to walk in.  He conveyed this same power and authority to the disciples.  They used His Name and His impartation to cast out demons and take authority over EVERY sickness and disease.  We have this same power and authority in us awaiting our individual revelation and faith to walk accordingly.

FATHER gave Adam and Eve unconditional authority over this earth but they failed to retain it.  Now we have the same authority but we are joint-heirs with Christ as it is written in Romans chapter 8:

17 And since we are His true children, we qualify to share all His treasures, for indeed, we are heirs of God himself. And since we are joined to Christ (joint-heirs), we also inherit all that He is and all that He has. We will experience being co-glorified with Him provided that we accept His sufferings as our own.

Since we are joined with Christ, we are not left alone to deal with deception.  We have the perfect Example and His Word to test anything spoken to us.  We must not be ignorant of The Word else deception can creep in.  Jesus took the power and authority away from the god of this world thus leaving him with one tool- deception.  The adversary must get our verbal agreement to operate with power.

Paul also wrote by The Holy Spirit in Romans chapter 6:

16 Don’t you realize that grace frees you to choose your own master? But choose carefully, for you surrender yourself to become a servant—bound to the one you choose to obey. If you choose to love sin, it will become your master, and it will own you and reward you with death. But if you choose to Love and obey God, He will lead you into perfect righteousness.

We have the power to choose our master and the devil knows this.  He will attempt to coerce you to follow him but he must first get your agreement and corresponding actions.

FATHER will never lose control of the Kingdom since it is now under “joint-heirship” with Jesus.  Death means separation in Scripture.  Adam and Eve rebelled thus causing them to be spiritually separated from fellowship with FATHER.  In essence, they spiritually died.  Jesus restored fellowship with FATHER. 

The Holy Spirit provides us with that link of fellowship with FATHER so we should protect that link at all cost.  That link is where Agape Love flows to us and through us to minister to others.  The gifts of The Spirit begin in Heaven and travel through us for impartation.  Why do you think the adversary works so hard to remove the ministry of The Holy Spirit in churches?  Isn’t it obvious by now?

James wrote by The Holy Spirit in chapter 2:

26 For just as a human body without the spirit is a dead corpse, so faith without the expression of good works is dead!

We need to be led by THE SPIRIT and walk in faith.  Jesus restored our ability to do this in spite of the deception promoted by the devil and his demons.  If FATHER had been in total control of everything without limitation, Jesus would not have come to the earth as the Son of man and expended the effort to restore us.  Don’t be fooled by man’s doctrines and traditions for they are clouds without rain.

GOD is not in control of everything that happens on the earth!  This is a doctrine of man and now is the time to confront it.  Additionally, GOD did not create the devil, man allowed this to happen.  Read the following with an open heart and an open mind.

The GOD of Love did not create a being who kills, steals, and destroys.  It is time for us to no longer allow this doctrine/tradition to continue to be maliciously spread concerning Our Heavenly Father once and for all.  FATHER does not work against HIMSELF and we need to dispel the flawed logic of man.  How do we do this?  By HIS WORD!

Yes, GOD did create a being who ultimately became the god of this world but it was not by FATHER’S action.  Adam and Eve are accountable for this result.

In Genesis chapter 1, FATHER spoke:

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.”

Once FATHER gave dominion to man, HE limited HIMSELF to what could be done on earth and be assured that FATHER defends HIS limitation of the Covenant HE created with Adam.  We rely totally on the integrity of HIS Word and so does every GOD particle which HE created else the universe would fall apart!  The Covenant of dominion continues to this very day.

Who is the being who became our adversary?  His name was Hêlēl and FATHER did create Hêlēl, not the one now known as satan, or the devil.

Hêlēl is described by Ezekiel and is written by THE SPIRIT in chapter 28:

1 The Word of the LORD came to me again, saying, 2 “Son of man, say to the prince of Tyre (Hêlēl), ‘Thus says the Lord GOD:

​

​​“Because your heart is lifted up,

​​And you say, ‘I am a god, ​​I sit in the seat of gods, ​​In the midst of the seas,’

​​Yet you are a man, and not a god,

​​Though you set your heart as the heart of a god

3 ​​(Behold, you are wiser than Daniel!

​​There is no secret that can be hidden from you!

4 ​​With your wisdom and your understanding

​​You have gained riches for yourself,

​​And gathered gold and silver into your treasuries;

5 ​​By your great wisdom in trade you have increased your riches,

​​And your heart is lifted up because of your riches),”

​

6 ‘Therefore thus says the Lord GOD:

​

​​“Because you have set your heart as the heart of a god,

7 ​​Behold, therefore, I will bring strangers against you,

​​The most terrible of the nations;

​​And they shall draw their swords against the beauty of your wisdom,

​​And defile your splendor.

8 ​​They shall throw you down into the Pit,

​​And you shall die the death of the slain

​​In the midst of the seas.

​

9 ​​“Will you still say before him who slays you,

​‘​I am a god’?

​​But you shall be a man, and not a god,

​​In the hand of him who slays you.

10 ​​You shall die the death of the uncircumcised

​​By the hand of aliens;

​​For I have spoken,” says the Lord GOD.’ ”

Lamentation for the King of Tyre

11 Moreover the word of the LORD came to me, saying, 12 “Son of man, take up a lamentation for the king of Tyre, and say to him, ‘Thus says the Lord GOD:

​

​​“You were the seal of perfection,

​​Full of wisdom and perfect in beauty.

13 ​​You were in Eden, the garden of God;

​​Every precious stone was your covering:

​​The sardius, topaz, and diamond,

​​Beryl, onyx, and jasper,

​​Sapphire, turquoise, and emerald with gold.

​​The workmanship of your timbrels and pipes

​​Was prepared for you on the day you were created.

​

14 ​​“You were the anointed cherub who covers;

​​I established you;

​​You were on the holy mountain of God;

​​You walked back and forth in the midst of fiery stones.

15 ​​You were perfect in your ways from the day you were created,

​​Till iniquity was found in you.

​

Hêlēl was the anointed cherub who was given access to the Presence of GOD and led praise.  He was created to provide music in FATHER’S Presence until iniquity was found in him.  He had nine of the twelve stones which ultimately represented tribes of Israel according to their nature.

16 ​​“By the abundance of your trading

​​You became filled with violence within,

​​And you sinned;

​​Therefore I cast you as a profane thing

​​Out of the mountain of God;

​​And I destroyed you, O covering cherub,

​​From the midst of the fiery stones.

​

17 ​​“Your heart was lifted up because of your beauty;

​​You corrupted your wisdom for the sake of your splendor;

​​I cast you to the ground,

​​I laid you before kings,

​​That they might gaze at you.

​

18 ​​“You defiled your sanctuaries

​​By the multitude of your iniquities,

​​By the iniquity of your trading;

​​Therefore I brought fire from your midst;

​​It devoured you,

​​And I turned you to ashes upon the earth

​​In the sight of all who saw you.

19 ​​All who knew you among the peoples are astonished at you;

​​You have become a horror,

​​And shall be no more forever.” ’ ”

By THE SPIRIT, Isaiah also referenced you by name in chapter 14:

12 ​​“How you are fallen from heaven,

​​O Lucifer (Hêlēl), son of the morning!

​​How you are cut down to the ground,

​​You who weakened the nations!

13 ​​For you have said in your heart:

​​‘I will ascend into heaven,

​​I will exalt my throne above the stars of God;

​​I will also sit on the mount of the congregation

​​On the farthest sides of the north;

14 ​​I will ascend above the heights of the clouds,

​​I will be like the Most High.’

15 ​​Yet you shall be brought down to Sheol,

​​To the lowest depths of the Pit.

​

16 ​​“Those who see you will gaze at you,

​​And consider you, saying:

​‘​Is this the man who made the earth tremble,

​​Who shook kingdoms,

17 ​​Who made the world as a wilderness

​​And destroyed its cities,

​​Who did not open the house of his prisoners?’

The translators used the term Lucifer yet the Hebrew is Hêlēl.

How did the transformation from Hêlēl the cherub (shining one) turn into the adversary?  FATHER gave him the ability to choose.  He said in his heart that he would exalt himself above his Creator.  He could not do this by directly confronting FATHER.  Instead he used FATHER’S Love for Adam and Eve as a means to promote his new agenda.  This occurred 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’?”

2 And the woman said to the serpent, “We may eat the fruit of the trees of the garden; 3 but of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God has said, ‘You shall not eat it, nor shall you touch it, lest you die.’ ”

4 Then the serpent said to the woman, “You will not surely die. 5 For God knows that in the day you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.”

6 So when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree desirable to make one wise, she took of its fruit and ate. She also gave to her husband with her, and he ate. 7 Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together and made themselves coverings.

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.”

11 And He said, “Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten from the tree of which I commanded you that you should not eat?”

12 Then the man said, “The woman whom You gave to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I ate.”

13 And the LORD God said to the woman, “What is this you have done?”

The woman said, “The serpent deceived me, and I ate.”

FATHER had a Covenant of dominion based on Agape Love with Adam and Eve.  HE gave them dominion over all the earth and every living thing.  They had the independent right to choose the outcomes of what was to happen on the earth.  There was only one restriction in the Covenant, the fig tree.  This established their position relative to FATHER for they were a little lower than HIM and this tree reminded them of their relative position in the Covenant.

They were the ones who gave dominion to the devil, not FATHER.  The devil achieved the result by deception since he had no inherent power to force them to say or do anything.  They were accountable for this transfer of authority, not FATHER.  This is when he became the god of this world.

Why didn’t FATHER simply wipe out Adam and Eve and start over?  It was because of HIS unconditional Love for them.  HE sought and intimate ongoing relationship so HE would not compromise HIS Word and commitment to them.  Love doesn’t destroy or kill!  To be continued…

When you walk according to The Holy Spirit, it’s a sure thing!

Jesus spoke in John chapter 16:

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 on His own, 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.”

When the Spirit of Truth, has come:

He will never leave us.

He will guide us into all Truth.

He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak thus He will remind us of what Jesus said.  He will glorify Me, for He will take of what is Mine and declare it to you.   All things that the Father has are Mine. Therefore I said that He will take of Mine and declare it to you.

He will tell us of things to come.

Every revelation flows from FATHER and this is why Jesus chose to only speak what He heard from FATHER.  As the Son of man, this is why He prayed and fellowshipped with FATHER, mostly in the night hours.

The Holy Spirit does not speak on His own either, but only what He hears from FATHER as well.  This is the perfect example of intimacy where there is complete trust and openness.  This is the relationship that FATHER wants with each of us.  As we fully trust HIM, our faith comes into full maturity.

As we walk in a greater intimacy with FATHER, HIS Divine Intent begins to flow through us to others and we begin to operate in HIS gifts meant to minister to those in need.  HE does this out of unconditional Love for those in need.  HE sees them through The Blood of HIS Son thus their past does not keep them from receiving, only their doubt and unbelief.  This is why we are to share HIS Heart which is The Word so that HIS Seeds are planted in their hearts.

We are to be compassionate toward the weak for they are the ones in need.  We can’t expect them to rise up to our level of maturity in order to receive else no one would get anything.  FATHER’S great grace and mercy must prevail in their lives just as both grace and mercy did in our lives when we were in need.  None of us deserved HIS Love yet HE ministered to us anyway.

We cannot condone religious leaders who take away from the power of GOD.  Jesus confronted them often when He walked the earth.  They were (are) deceived and didn’t know it.  That is the worst deception!

Jesus spoke in Matthew chapter 15:

5 “But you teach that it’s permissible to say to your parents when they are in financial need, ‘Whatever gift you would have received from me I can keep for myself, since I dedicated it as an offering to God.’ 6 This doesn’t honor your father or mother. And you have elevated your tradition above the Words of God. 7 Frauds and hypocrites! Isaiah described you perfectly when he said:

8 These people honor Me only with their words,

    for their hearts are so very distant from Me.

9 They pretend to worship Me,

    but their worship is nothing more

    than the empty traditions of men.”

10 Then Jesus turned to the crowd and said, “Come, listen and open your heart to understand. 11 What truly contaminates a person is not what he puts into his mouth but what comes out of his mouth. That’s what makes people defiled.”

12 Then His disciples approached Him and said, “Don’t You know that what You just said offended the Pharisees?”

13 Jesus replied, “Every plant that my Heavenly Father didn’t plant is destined to be uprooted. 14 Stay away from them, for they’re nothing more than blind guides. Do you know what happens when a blind man pretends to guide another blind man? They both stumble into a ditch!”

It is vital, critical, of greatest importance that we acknowledge, submit, and be led by The Holy Spirit.  If not, we are subject to stumbling into the ditch!
