Buy The Field!

February 16th, 2022

When you and I sow into the lives of the poor, FATHER takes on the liability and HE will not allow HIMSELF to be in a position where HE owes us anything.  As a result, HE will bless us and exceed our expectations.  FATHER never remains in debt under any circumstance.

Matthew wrote by The Holy Spirit in chapter 13:

44“Heaven’s Kingdom realm can be illustrated like this:

“A person discovered that there was hidden treasure in a field. Upon finding it, he hid it again. Because of uncovering such treasure, he was overjoyed and sold all that he possessed to buy the entire field just so he could have the treasure. “

45“Heaven’s Kingdom realm is also like a jewel merchant in search of rare pearls. 46When he discovered one very precious and exquisite pearl, he immediately gave up all he had in exchange for it.”

When I cheerfully give, I worship Our Heavenly Father.  When I do acts of kindness, I worship HIM.  When I study HIS Word, I worship HIM.  How?  I exalt HIM above all else.  As I walk according to The Holy Spirit, it is a form of worship.  The devil knows this thus he wanted Jesus to submit to him and effectively worship him.  To whom we submit, worship goes forth.

You and I have value because of what FATHER wrote about us before we were formed in the womb.  Our value is not what the world deems to be value.  Our value comes from the thoughts and Intent of FATHER for our lives.  As we submit to The Holy Spirit, our value moves from potential to manifestation on earth.

What you and I have on the inside of us is what others need.  This is why demons fight you and try to keep you from this revelation.  They know you have a book written about you and they don’t want the contents of that book to be fulfilled.  This is the battle and why you and I must totally embrace Romans chapter 8 and Ephesians chapter 1, among others.  We are fully accepted and we have the potential already residing on the inside of us, awaiting our access.

Don’t allow yourself to walk in “self-imposed” limitations!  We are to go to the marketplace and do what is inside of us.  This is what Jesus did and we are to do the same.

Wisdom wrote in Proverbs chapter 16:

16  Everyone wants gold, but wisdom’s worth is far greater.

Silver is sought after, but a heart of understanding yields a greater return.

As you gain Wisdom and understanding, you will joyfully tap into the Treasures in Heaven and inside of you which were deposited for your use to not only to be a blessing to yourself but also others.

As you and I gain greater understanding of the spiritual dimensions where FATHER operates, we will be more productive for the Kingdom.  As The Holy Spirit of Wisdom and understanding guides us into all Truth, we will become bold and confront all spiritual forces who try to challenge us and we will confront them without hesitation.

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

11When I was a child, I spoke about childish matters, for I saw things like a child and reasoned like a child. But the day came when I matured, and I set aside my childish ways.

We need to put away childish, immature thoughts about the enemy and realized that he is a defeated foe who simply wants to argue and debate with you.  Jesus did not tolerate the devil’s antics; Jesus quoted The Word and went on about FATHER’S business.  We need to do the same.  We are not to live our lives on the defensive for we have the Truth on our side.

Because of uncovering such treasure, the man was overjoyed and sold all that he possessed to buy the entire field just so he could have the treasure.  Once you get understanding and Wisdom, you will have no reluctance in selling all and buying the entire field!

Fully Accepted!

February 15th, 2022

You and I are fully accepted as Sons and Daughters of GOD, without exception!

You and I are no longer victims.  Instead, we are fully accepted by FATHER.  The enemy wants to insert thoughts of rejection, guilt, and suicide into our thoughts so as to keep us from the revelation of being fully accepted by FATHER.  This is why we must grab hold of the revelation expressed to us by The Holy Spirit Who moved upon Paul to write 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. 3For God achieved what the law was unable to accomplish, because the law was limited by the weakness of human nature.

Yet God sent us His Son in human form to identify with human weakness. Clothed with humanity, God’s Son gave His body to be the sin-offering so that God could once and for all condemn the guilt and power of sin. 4So now every righteous requirement of the law can be fulfilled through the Anointed One living his life in us. And we are free to live, not according to our flesh, but by the dynamic power of the Holy Spirit!

It is vitally important to dwell and meditate on Romans chapter 8 until you finally once and for all see yourself as fully accepted by FATHER as HIS Son or Daughter! 

Accept the reality that the case is closed and The Blood of Jesus was and is more than sufficient to keep the case closed against your past.  Further, allow The Holy Spirit full access to your life and don’t exclude any aspect of it.  Let your heart be 100% fertile ground for the Seed to be sown and grow into fruitfulness so that others will be blessed.

Be patient as The Word grows into full maturity, especially Romans chapter 8.  As you and I totally grasp and walk in the revelation of this chapter, we will rise up into the fullness of our individual callings.  Our faith will be seen as great faith and this is what pleases FATHER.

5Those 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. 

Let us focus on Spiritual realities and quit allowing the enemy to jerk us around with deception which manifests as the cares of the world, deceitfulness of riches, and lusts.  They only result in ultimate death and destruction.

6For the sense and reason of the flesh is death, but the mind-set controlled by the Spirit finds life and peace.

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

Who do you want to dominate you?

9But 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.

10Now 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.  11Yes, God raised Jesus to life! And since God’s Spirit of Resurrection lives in you, He will also raise your dying body to life by the same Spirit that breathes life into you!

12 So then, Beloved Ones, the flesh has no claims on us at all, and we have no further obligation to live in obedience to it. 13For when you live controlled by the flesh, you are about to die. But if the life of the Spirit puts to death the corrupt ways of the flesh, we then taste His abundant life.

The devil and his minions have no claim on us at all!  Do not become disobedient to The Word and allow them back into your life.  They must gain permission to impact your life so don’t even go there.

The demons are waiting for our disobedience to The Word which gives them access to us.  If we are fully led by The Holy Spirit, the demons have no access and cannot wreak havoc in our lives.

A thought does not give demons access until it is considered or dwelled upon in preparation for action.  This is where we must take action by taking captive and casting down those thoughts and every high thing that exalts itself above The Word.

These Truths have been hidden from those who are blinded even though they are in plain sight.

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in 1st Corinthians chapter 2:

1 My brothers and sisters, when I first came to proclaim to you the secrets of God, I refused to come as an expert, trying to impress you with my eloquent speech and lofty wisdom. 2For while I was with you I was determined to be consumed with one topic—Jesus, the crucified Messiah.  3I stood before you feeling inadequate, filled with reverence for God, and trembling under the sense of the importance of my words.  4The message I preached and how I preached it was not an attempt to sway you with persuasive arguments but to prove to you the almighty power of God’s Holy Spirit. 5For God intended that your faith not be established on man’s wisdom but by trusting in His Almighty power.

The Wisdom from GOD is for our benefit and HE hold nothing back from HIS Children.

6However, there is a Wisdom that we continually speak of when we are among the Spiritually mature.  It’s Wisdom that didn’t originate in this present age, nor did it come from the rulers of this age who are in the process of being dethroned.  7Instead, we continually speak of this wonderful Wisdom that comes from God, hidden before now in a mystery.  It is His secret plan, destined before the ages, to bring us into glory.  8None of the rulers of this present world order understood it, for if they had, they never would have crucified the Lord of shining glory.  9This is why the Scriptures say:

Things never discovered or heard of before,

things beyond our ability to imagine —

these are the many things God has in store

for all His Lovers.

10But God now unveils these profound realities to us by the Spirit.  Yes, He has revealed to us His inmost heart and deepest mysteries through the Holy Spirit, Who constantly explores all things.

Why do you think I encourage you to pray in The Holy Spirit daily?  The Holy Spirit will reveal FATHER’S Heart where the deepest mysteries reside.  HE will reveal greater facets of HIS Love for us and others.  We will see others as HE sees them and begin to understand their importance to HIM.  They were not placed on this earth haphazardly. 

11After all, who can really see into a person’s heart and know his hidden impulses except for that person’s spirit? So it is with God. His thoughts and secrets are only fully understood by his Spirit, the Spirit of God.

12For we did not receive the spirit of this world system but the Spirit of God, so that we might come to understand and experience all that grace has lavished upon us.

13And we articulate these realities with the Words imparted to us by the Spirit and not with the words taught by human wisdom. We join together Spirit-revealed Truths with Spirit-revealed words.  14Someone living on an entirely human level  rejects the revelations of God’s Spirit, for they make no sense to him. He can’t understand the revelations of the Spirit because they are only discovered by the illumination of the Spirit.

Unbelievers cannot judge you or me because they have no capacity to understand us.  The blind cannot judge those with eyes to see.  Don’t let their judgment have any effect on your walk.  They are not qualified in any manner.

15Those who live in the Spirit are able to carefully evaluate all things, and they are subject to the scrutiny of no one but God. 16For Who has ever intimately known the mind of the Lord Yahweh well enough to become his counselor?  Christ has, and we possess Christ’s perceptions.

Let no one keep us from walking as mature Sons and Daughters who are fully accepted by FATHER!

From Brazil

February 13th, 2022

The following is from our Beloved Sister in Brazil and is timely for what The Holy Spirit is directing us in:

Beloved Brother,

I was led to start studying the book of Joshua, so I bought the ebook format of the Passion translation of Joshua. Here’s a valuable and confirming word regarding unity (it’s a struggle in my household and I see more and more how crucial this is) on the footnotes about chapter 1 verse 15,

They will take the lead and help their brothers 15 until they take possession of the land that Yahweh your God is giving them as their homeland.ac Afterward, you will be free to return to your own land and possess the land that Moses, Yahweh’s servant, gave you here on the east side of the Jordan.”ad

ad1:15 Joshua the prophet foresaw the complete victory of possessing the land of their enemies. In vv. 12–15 we learn that the land-takers were required to be united. Neither one individual nor one tribe could take the land; it required all God’s people going in together and fighting as one. Battles are won as God’s people unite. But unity alone isn’t enough; we must be prepared for a battle over our complete inheritance. There must be no rest until everyone has received his or her inheritance. See Eph. 4:11–16.

My reply:

Unity brought on by Agape Love is the key!  This is what Servias Ministries is all about and should be the goal of all ministries  (Ephesians 4):

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. 

15But instead we will remain strong and always sincere in our Love as we express the Truth. All our direction and ministries will flow from Christ and lead us deeper into Him, the anointed Head of His body, the church.

16For His “body” has been formed in His image and is closely joined together and constantly connected as one. And every member has been given Divine gifts to contribute to the growth of all; and as these gifts operate effectively throughout the whole body, we are built up and made perfect in Love.

The Preferred Fast

February 12th, 2022

Our Heavenly Father speaks of denying oneself, the essence of fasting.  When my focus moves from inward to outward, Love goes forth and so does the light of HIS Glory.

FATHER spoke concerning fasting in Isaiah 58:

6“[Rather] is this not the fast which I choose,

To undo the bonds of wickedness,

To tear to pieces the ropes of the yoke,

To let the oppressed go free

And break apart every [enslaving] yoke?

7“Is it not to divide your bread with the hungry

And bring the homeless poor into the house;

When you see the naked, that you cover him,

And not to hide yourself from [the needs of] your own flesh and blood?

8“Then your light will break out like the dawn,

And your healing (restoration, new life) will quickly spring forth;

Your righteousness will go before you [leading you to peace and prosperity],

The glory of the LORD will be your rear guard.  AMP

Those who give to others with a pure heart are in essence fasting.  Consider the benefits FATHER states: healing, peace, prosperity, and most of all, the Glory of THE LORD will be our rear guard!  Our light will break out and will draw people toward us and seek out what makes us different.

9“Then you will call, and the LORD will answer;

You will cry for help, and He will say, ‘Here I am.’

If you take away from your midst the yoke [of oppression],

The finger pointed in scorn [toward the oppressed or the godly], and [every form of] wicked (sinful, unjust) speech,

FATHER will deal with our enemies and make them of none effect in our lives.  HE will execute righteous judgment on our behalf and we will see them fall by our wayside.  I have witnessed this reality many times over the years.

10And if you offer yourself to [assist] the hungry

And satisfy the need of the afflicted,

Then your light will rise in darkness

And your gloom will become like midday.

11“And the LORD will continually guide you,

And satisfy your soul in scorched and dry places,

And give strength to your bones;

And you will be like a watered garden,

And like a spring of water whose waters do not fail.” AMP

When we help those in need, FATHER takes notice and will continually guide us in all our affairs throughout each day.  HE will restore our health and perpetuate HIS blessings upon us.  This is what I call a true fast.  When I deny “self”, I open the windows of Heaven and allow FATHER to overtake me with HIS Love.

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Ephesians chapter 3:

17  Then, by constantly using your faith, the life of Christ will be released deep inside you, and the resting place of His Love will become the very source and root of your life.

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.

You and I are HIS vessels on this earth to do HIS bidding by expressing HIS Love flowing in us and through us to help and minister to others in need, no matter what their station in life is.  The poor, the hungry, the naked, and the imprisoned are all important to FATHER thus they should be important to us as well.

Kids In Need Update

February 11th, 2022

One of the counselors just sent this update:

I just handed out 2 each (Target and Crest) of the gift cards to a family whose 8 year old passed away due to a battle with skin cancer. 

Don’t Be Intimidated!

February 11th, 2022

Our Heavenly Father wants us to get understanding from HIM.  This will occur when we earnestly seek HIM and allow our hearts to be purified by The Word in a consistent effort.

Paul spoke by The Holy Spirit in Ephesians chapter 4:

17So 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.  18Their corrupted logic has been clouded (darkened) because their hearts are so far from God—their blinded understanding and deep-seated moral darkness keeps them from the true knowledge of God. 19Because of spiritual apathy, they surrender their lives to lewdness, impurity, and sexual obsession.

Paul did not hold back from addressing the moral darkness we are now dealing with in our current society.  The LGBTQURSV… groups are pushing their agendas, especially targeting our children in hope of adding converts to their blinded understanding and deep-seated moral darkness.  Once again, the church has been asleep in protecting our children.  These people have inserted their agendas in reading materials found in many libraries and schools now.  They want our kids’ minds and hearts.  We must not shirk our responsibility to protect our kids.  The Truth must prevail and we are the Truth-tellers.

Jesus spoke in Matthew chapter 13:

10 And the disciples came and said to Him, “Why do You speak to them in parables?”

11 He answered and said to them, “Because it has been given to you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of Heaven, but to them it has not been given. 12 For whoever has, to him more will be given, and he will have abundance; but whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him. 13 Therefore I speak to them in parables, because seeing they do not see, and hearing they do not hear, nor do they understand. 14 And in them the prophecy of Isaiah is fulfilled, which says:

​‘​Hearing you will hear and shall not understand,

​​And seeing you will see and not perceive;

15 ​​For the hearts of this people have grown dull.

​​Their ears are hard of hearing,

​​And their eyes they have closed,

​​Lest they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears,

​​Lest they should understand with their hearts and turn,

​​So that I should heal them.’

16 But blessed are your eyes for they see, and your ears for they hear; 17 for assuredly, I say to you that many prophets and righteous men desired to see what you see, and did not see it, and to hear what you hear, and did not hear it.

The more understanding you have, the more abundance you shall receive… in all areas.  This is why The Holy Spirit keeps me on this topic for it is critical in this move of FATHER to get understanding so that we will be fully effective as mature Sons and Daughters.

The Word is the catalyst to the empowerment of what is already deposited in our hearts when we were born again.  We need this understanding in order to come into full maturity.

Paul spoke by The Holy Spirit in Colossians chapter 2:

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.

9  For He is the complete fullness of Deity living in human form. 10And 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!

11Through 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.

Don’t be intimidated by those pushing their impure agendas.  Be assured they will try to silence us with words of intimidation designed to overpower the weak.  Now is the time to stand up for The Gospel and not be quiet “pew warmers”.  Jesus was not intimidated by anyone and neither should we.  He was not reluctant to challenge those in charge or those who promoted humanistic doctrines.

Weaponized Words

Sometimes confusion is the goal.

Half-truths are still lies.

Men redefining words to fit their narrative.

What happened to common sense? Living in “the box”.

Quit living “online”. Live outside “the box”.

The Truth finds a way to be told.

Get Understanding!

February 10th, 2022

We are meant to reach full maturity as Sons and Daughters of Our Heavenly Father.  This will be done through faith-filled Words entering our hearts in a consistent, timely fashion.

Jesus’ Words are critical thus essential to our maturity.  As the Son of man, He expressed the pure Divine Intent of FATHER so we must never consider His Words as secondary to our studies and meditation on The Word.

Jesus spoke in parables, not to hide His Word from His people but to hide His Word for His people.

Jesus spoke in Mark chapter 4:

13Then He said to them, “If you don’t understand this parable, how will you understand any parable?

Jesus just gave us the key to all the parables He spoke… understanding!  Without understanding, we are not much different than those who walk by their five physical senses (aka carnal man).  The Holy Spirit will provide us revelation and understanding in all things if we will ask with pure hearts rather than selfish motivations.

John The Baptist spoke by The Holy Spirit in Matthew chapter 3:

11 I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance, but He who is coming after me is mightier than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire. 12 His winnowing fan is in His hand, and He will thoroughly clean out His threshing floor, and gather His wheat into the barn; but He will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire.”

What is the point of being baptized with fire?  Fire will purify our hearts so that we can clearly hear The Holy Spirit concerning the deeper mysteries of GOD.  If we spend more time being entertained by the world as well as hearing and pondering all the bad news spewed out by them, our immature hearts will continue to store those impurities because it does not differentiate between good seed and bad seed.

The heart is akin to soil and it will try to grow whatever you sow into it, the good, the bad, and the ugly.

Why do you think some people buy into the narrative of the world and believe they are doing the right thing?  The nefarious enemy sows unrighteous seed day in and day out knowing this Truth Jesus spoke, “You reap what you sow”.  They prey on the masses who have yet to be either immature in Christ or yet to be born again in their spirits.  Who do you think owns the major TV networks, funds Hollywood, and are the major stockholders of the pharmaceutical companies? 

If you sow enough worldly seed, you become like the world and submit to its unrighteous intent.  The church has been asleep concerning this Truth thus it cowered down in the latest xxxdemic.  Rather than preach and teach Divine Healing and move their congregation to maturity in this area which is a primary mandate given to them in Ephesians chapter 4, they passively accepted the world’s answer to COVID.  We will see how all this plays out over the next several months.  Credible front-line doctors are observing the serious consequences of the jabs in some people of all ages.  There is documented proof of poisons in at least some of the batches of jabs given which leads us to believe that those with compromised immune systems will not survive due to their deficiencies.  Why do you think some “healthy-looking” people die in ICU’S?  When less than 1,000 kids have died from the jab in a population of 320 million, why force them to take the jab?  Most of those kids had other life-threatening issues compromising their immune defenses already.  Don’t bother us with the facts?

Do you think that Jesus would have agreed to a jab?  Need I say more?  It is well known that those who have deemed themselves as the elite would prefer a world population of only 500 million rather than the current 7+ billion.  Many people have focused on the political narrative rather than the scientific facts which are totally opposite. 

Whose voice are you listening to on a daily basis?  My wife and I seek The Holy Spirit’s directives even though some of our loved ones think we are ignorant, stupid, or crazy.  No matter how many facts, studies, and conclusions by non-government experts I bring up, I see their response as “Don’t confuse my current understanding with the Truth.”  We can only pray that FATHER open their eyes before some tragedy occurs close to home.  Once again, it is all about understanding!

Jesus spoke in john chapter 14:

26But when the Father sends the Spirit of Holiness, the One like me who sets you free, He will teach you all things in my Name. And Ne will inspire you to remember every Word that I’ve told you.

All things means all things!  This does not exclude how to deal with a xxxdemic.  It does not exclude a famine.  It does not exclude a global financial crisis brought on by the nefarious ones.  There are no exclusions so why downplay the importance of being led by The Holy Spirit?

Jesus spoke in Acts chapter 1 after He was resurrected from the dead:

8  “But I promise you this—the Holy Spirit will come upon you, and you will be seized with power.  You will be my messengers to Jerusalem, throughout Judea, the distant provinces —even to the remotest places on earth!”

We are to walk in power over the enemy but we need understanding from Above in order to do that.

PS: If you did receive the shot, do not worry or be afraid.  FATHER is greater than any poison man can expose us to so confess by faith “No weapon formed against me or my family will prosper”.  My wife and I confess this over our loved ones in faith.  HIS grace and mercy supersedes our ignorance and I can bear witness to that reality!

Kids In Need Update

February 10th, 2022

We have delivered our latest commitment to assist the Kids In Need.  This is consisting of food gift cards and Target gift cards to be used for clothing.  The school superintendent maintains the inventory of cards until the teachers, counselors, and/or principals request cards to hand out to their students.  This allows us to maintain accountability and assures us that the Kids receive the benefit.  Their parents benefit as well when they receive the Seed you and I are sowing into their family.  Thank you for your continued support!

Fatherhood

February 8th, 2022

We are meant to reach full maturity as Sons and Daughters of Our Heavenly Father.  Isn’t this the desire of every father?

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Romans chapter 8:

14The mature children of God are those (and only those) who are moved by the impulses of the Holy Spirit.

Those who reach full maturity are empowered to minister as Our Elder Brother Jesus when He walked the earth.  He was and is our perfect example of Spiritual maturity in all Words and actions.  His ministry on earth was the complete expression of Agape Love for Father’s family.  A family is what FATHER desires else HE would not promote the reality of His Fatherhood to you and me.

15And you did not receive the “spirit of religious duty,” (sprit of slavery) 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!”  16For the Holy Spirit makes God’s fatherhood real to us as He whispers into our innermost being, “You are God’s beloved child!”

Love does not enslave but provides for full freedom to Love and express yourself as a blessing to others.  You and I are FATHER’S beloved children so shouldn’t we desire to be pleasing to Him in all things?  What pleases Him?  Faith in HIS Word!  The carnal man by definition relies only on what he can see, hear, taste, touch, and smell yet he is even a hypocrite in the sense that he will trust in television signals and cell phone signals for entertainment.  He cannot see the signals yet he relies on them for entertainment and self-indulgence.

As Paul writes in verse 7 “In fact, the mind-set focused on the flesh (the carnal mind)  fights God’s plan and refuses to submit to His direction, because it cannot!”   To be carnally-minded is death as Paul wrote in verse 6:

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

James wrote by The Holy Spirit in James chapter 4:

4You have become spiritual adulterers who are having an affair, an unholy relationship with the world. Don’t you know that flirting with the world’s values places you at odds with God? Whoever chooses to be the world’s friend makes himself God’s enemy!

Do you want to sleep peaceful every night?  Be spiritually-minded.  It is much better than sleeping pills offered by the world for they only mask the symptoms.

Faith trusts in the Spiritual which is superior to the physical in all aspects.  The Spiritual is permanent whereas the physical is only temporary and is oriented toward constant decay.

17And 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, we also inherit all that He is and all that He has.

FATHER does not want to withhold any of HIS Treasures designated for our use.  However HE will not distribute such treasures to those who are not ready to be good stewards.  We must renew our minds daily to HIS Word and walk in faith produced by this walk.  Purpose to walk out each day with The Word being planted in you.  Ask The Holy Spirit to show you what Word specifically you need for that day and then plant It into good soil and give It time to grow.  Don’t allow anything to remove It from your heart!  Be assured, there will be attempts by people and circumstances to remove The Word that was planted.  However, stay calm.
