Coming Into Deep Worship

January 19th, 2021

Those of us in perfect unity will move into deep worship and FATHER’S Shekinah Glory will manifest among us!

In Isaiah chapter 6, it is written by The Holy Spirit:​

1 It was in the year King Uzziah died that I saw the Lord. He was sitting on a lofty throne, and the train of his robe filled the Temple. 2 Attending him were mighty seraphim, each having six wings. With two wings they covered their faces, with two they covered their feet, and with two they flew. 3 They were calling out to each other,

“Holy, holy, holy is the LORD of Heaven’s Armies!

The whole earth is filled with HIS glory!”

4 Their voices shook the Temple to its foundations, and the entire building was filled with smoke.

And in the Revelation of Jesus Christ, chapter 4, the Beloved Disciple wrote by The Holy Spirit:

8 Each of these living beings had six wings, and their wings were covered all over with eyes, inside and out. Day after day and night after night they keep on saying,

“Holy, Holy, Holy is the Lord God, the Almighty—

the ONE WHO always was, WHO is, and WHO is still to come.”

9 And whenever the living creatures gave glory, honor, and thanks to the ONE WHO is enthroned and WHO lives forever and ever, 10 the twenty-four elders fell facedown before the one seated on the throne and they worshiped the ONE WHO lives forever and ever. And they surrendered their crowns before the throne, singing:

11 “You are worthy, our Lord and God,

    to receive glory, honor, and power,

    for YOU created all things,

    and by YOUR plan they were created and exist.”

Who else is worthy of our deepest worship?  No created being is worthy to be worshipped and that is why we are to have no idols.  True worship is reserved for Our Lord only!

As we come into this deep worship, we are joining Heaven in one accord and in perfect unity.  This is when the Shekinah Glory will manifest in our presence and that same smoke will fill our room or sanctuary.

Wisdom wrote in Proverbs chapter 15:

33 The source of revelation-knowledge is found

as you fall down in surrender before the Lord.

Don’t expect to see Shekinah glory

until the Lord sees your sincere humility.

The twenty-four elders who had the privilege of being seated with Christ fell facedown before the ONE seated on the throne thus shouldn’t we follow their lead?  After all they have constant access to Absolute Truth and fully understand and walk in total humility.

In Genesis chapter 17, The Holy Spirit recorded through Moses:

1 When Abram was ninety-nine years old, the LORD appeared to him and said, “I am El-Shaddai—‘God Almighty.’ Serve me faithfully and live a blameless life. 2 I will make a covenant with you, by which I will guarantee to give you countless descendants.”

3 At this, Abram fell face down on the ground. Then God said to him, 4 “This is MY covenant with you: I will make you the father of a multitude of nations! 5 What’s more, I am changing your name. It will no longer be Abram. Instead, you will be called Abraham, for you will be the father of many nations. 6 I will make you extremely fruitful. Your descendants will become many nations, and kings will be among them!

Abram was compelled to fall face down on the ground once he came into FATHER’s Presence.  When my angel was sent from the Throne Room and appeared to three of us at Little Jack’s Steakhouse in Minneapolis to simply give me a Word from Heaven, none of the three of us were able to move at all while in the presence of this messenger sent from Heaven.  He brought forth this reality for us to experience a taste of what these elders experienced in HIS Presence.

In Numbers chapter 6, The Holy Spirit recorded through Moses:

6 Moses and Aaron turned away from the people and went to the entrance of the Tabernacle, where they fell face down on the ground. Then the glorious presence of the LORD appeared to them, 7 and the LORD said to Moses, 8 “You and Aaron must take the staff and assemble the entire community. As the people watch, speak to the rock over there, and it will pour out its water. You will provide enough water from the rock to satisfy the whole community and their livestock.”

Moses and Aaron understood deep worship and relating it to FATHER’s Presence.  Deep worship has not been at the forefront in many assemblies.  It is time for that to change.  In complete humility, we need to move into deep worship!

The Crucified Life

January 18th, 2021

A fully mature Son or Daughter will embrace walking a crucified life.  By The Holy Spirit, Paul wrote of this necessity in Romans 13:

14 “Fully immerse yourselves into the Lord Jesus, the Anointed One, and don’t waste even a moment’s thought on your former identity to awaken its selfish desires.”

When we identify with Christ we become the same; we become one with Him and His interests and purpose.  The result is that we take our place in His Body and become an effective function unit in the Body of Christ.  In doing this, we give no provision for the flesh and its selfish desires.

By The Holy Spirit, Paul wrote in Romans 8:

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. 11 Yes, 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. 13 For 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 Spirit of Resurrection lives in us so let us embrace this Absolute Truth above anything our bodies might tell us otherwise!  It is up to us to put to death the corrupt ways of the flesh and we cannot skirt this issue.

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

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. 2–3 Since you are demanding proof that the Anointed One is speaking through me, I will give you proof by exercising discipline among you. For just as I told you the last time I was there—and now, though absent, I say it again—that when I come I will not go easy on those whom I’ve already warned and those who continue to persist in their sin. Christ is not weak or feeble in his dealings with you but mighty and powerful within you. 4 For although he was crucified as a “weakling,” now he lives robed with God’s power. And we also are “weak ones” in our co-crucifixion with him, but now we live in God’s triumphant power together with him, which is demonstrated on your behalf.

When you walk in a crucified life and take on Jesus Christ’s identity, you will rule and reign on this earth.  Those who walk in this manner are robed with God’s power and authority.  Paul was ready to display and confirm that power in dealing with those who persisted in their sin.

What was Paul’s purpose in his 3rd trip to Corinth?  It was to bring forth perfect unity which required such correction.  People must accept corrective discipline and change in order to participate in the perfect unity of Christ

11 Finally, beloved friends, be cheerful! Repair whatever is broken among you, as your hearts are being knit together in perfect unity. Live continually in peace, and God, the source of Love and peace, will mingle with you.

What does this bring forth from Heaven?  Those of us in perfect unity will move into deep worship and FATHER’S Shekinah Glory will manifest among us!

Walking In True Humility

January 17th, 2021

It is all about Jesus Christ and not about us so we need to walk in true humility.  Humility is freedom from pride and arrogance; humbleness of mind; a modest estimate of one’s own worth and most of all, submission to the Divine Will.

There are those who project false humility by expressing themselves as someone they are not.  Wisdom wrote in Proverbs chapter 15:

31 Accepting constructive criticism

opens your heart to the path of life,

making you right at home among the wise.

32 Refusing constructive criticism shows

you have no interest in improving your life,

for revelation-insight only comes as you accept correction

and the Wisdom that it brings.

33 The source of revelation-knowledge is found

as you fall down in surrender before the Lord.

Don’t expect to see Shekinah Glory

until the Lord sees your sincere humility.

Have you seen FATHER’S Shekinah Glory?  If not, you need to change.  If there is a question whether you have seen It, you haven’t.  Virtually every blog I write is about change and pursuing a pure heart… and walking in complete Holiness as a fully mature Son.  Only the remnant will diligently seek the level of humility and will embrace whatever change is necessary.  Seeing HIS Shekinah Glory is worth the commitment.  I have not seen It yet but there are those who have thus It is attainable.

We must release any past doctrines that had man’s opinions contained in them.  At the core of those doctrines we will find deception planted by the adversary.  I know I have been duped in that past, more than once.  However, FATHER showed me when I departed from the Highway of Holiness as a lesson.  Now I embrace HIS correction knowing that HE wants me to fellowship with HIM at HIS Holy Altar.

Isaiah wrote by The Holy Spirit in chapter 57:

15 The High and Lofty One Who lives in eternity,

the Holy One, says this:

“I live in the high and Holy Place

with those whose spirits are contrite and humble.

I restore the crushed spirit of the humble

and revive the courage of those with repentant hearts.

HE does not dwell with those who are arrogant, unrepentant, prideful, and living according to the world’s ways.  Pride ends in humiliation, while humility brings honor.  As James wrote by The Holy Spirit in chapter 4:

6 But he continues to pour out more and more grace upon us. For it says,

“God resists you when you are proud

    but continually pours out grace when you are humble.”

And Wisdom wrote in Proverbs chapter 22:

4 True humility and fear of The LORD

lead to riches, honor, and long life.

9 Blessed are those who are generous,

because they feed the poor.

Look at the “cause and effect” of these two verses when we walk in true humility and fear of The LORD.  First, we receive tangible benefits which include riches, and as a result, we are able to feed the poor, an important aspect of walking as a mature Son or Daughter or HE would not mention it multiple times.  When we give, our hearts must be right and FATHER knows our intent.  We can’t “buy” Holiness, giving is simply a response, outcome, or fruit of Holiness.

In Psalm 51, It is recorded by The Holy Spirit:

17 The sacrifice you desire is a broken spirit.

You will not reject a broken and repentant heart, O God.

This brings us to walking a crucified life.  By The Holy Spirit, Paul wrote of this necessity in Galatians chapter 2:

20 My old self has been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me. So I live in this earthly body by trusting in the Son of God, who Loved me and gave Himself for me.

Jesus told the disciples “Whoever desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me.”  We are urged by Paul in Romans 13:14 “Fully immerse yourselves into the Lord Jesus, the Anointed One, and don’t waste even a moment’s thought on your former identity to awaken its selfish desires.”

There are those who project false humility by expressing themselves as someone they are not.  Wisdom wrote in Proverbs chapter 15:

31 Accepting constructive criticism

making you right at home among the wise.

32 Refusing constructive criticism shows

There Is No Part-Time Holiness

January 16th, 2021

It is time to remove the “dis-“ from discourage.  What are you afraid of?  It is time to be bold and stand up to the adversary no matter what your current circumstances would suggest otherwise.  How can we be fully led by The Holy Spirit if we allow the obstacles that the adversary places before us to remain unaddressed?

What have you been tolerating that is contrary to The Word?  Have you been walking a compromised life in certain areas?  Have you allowed family to walk in an unacceptable manner while you have remained silent or passive?

The altar is given to us for repentance and cleansing yet most churches have done away with their call to the altar.  That is about to change.

Peter wrote by The Holy Spirit in his 1st epistle in chapter 1:

13 So then, prepare your hearts and minds for action! Stay alert and fix your hope firmly on the marvelous grace that is coming to you. For when Jesus Christ is unveiled, a greater measure of grace will be released to you. 14 As God’s obedient children, never again shape your lives by the desires that you followed when you didn’t know better. 15 Instead, shape your lives to become like the Holy One who called you. 16 For Scripture says:

“You are to be Holy, because I am Holy.”

Does Holiness tolerate sin in Its midst?  No!

Everything about God is Holy. True Holiness includes justice, mercy, Truth, and righteousness. To be Holy is to be absolutely devoted to God in all that we do, demonstrating who HE is to the world. Holiness surrounds God’s throne and we are seated with HIM in heavenly places (Eph. 2:6). The Hebraic concept of Holiness is “set apart”; that is, we are a people set apart for God, even as God is “set apart” from all gods. Grace has imbedded Holiness into our lives, yet we are to make right choices and to yield to Christ and God’s Word as the Holy Spirit lives in us. Holiness is not merely actions we perform, but what we absorb and manifest as we live our lives in God’s Presence. Christ is our Holiness (1 Cor. 1:30).

We must set ourselves apart, dedicate, and devote ourselves, to the service and worship of God.  Yes, we will interact with others just as Jesus interacted with sinners of all types yet He did not take on their sins but instead delivered them from sin.  There is a difference between fellowship and ministry and we must not allow ourselves to fellowship with those who are living in compromise but we are to minister life to them when we are given the opportunity.  The sinner will often want us to envy them as they flaunt what they have or what they are doing.  Don’t be sucked into their mindset with envy.

Wisdom wrote in Proverbs 23:

17 Let not your heart envy sinners, but continue in the reverent and worshipful fear of the Lord all the day long.

18 For surely there is a latter end [a future and a reward], and your hope and expectation shall not be cut off.

19 Hear, my son, and be wise, and direct your mind in the way [of the Lord].

There is much uncertainty in the world at this time because good is openly battling evil in every corner.  Deception among leaders is being exposed and brought out in the open for all who have eyes to see.  These people walking in deception must either be changed or replaced.  If this happens on a mass scale, there will be much instability in the world’s system.  However, we need to grasp what Isaiah recorded by The Holy Spirit in chapter 33:

6 ​​Wisdom and knowledge will be the stability of your times,

​​And the strength of salvation;

​​The fear of the LORD is His treasure.

When we walk in the fear of THE LORD, HE will navigate us through the coming times.  This walk is a daily walk and we are to be diligent in keeping our eyes fixed on FATHER and HIS directives.  Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Hebrews chapter 11:

6 And without faith living within us it would be impossible to please God. For we come to God in faith knowing that HE is real and that HE rewards the faith of those who give all their passion and strength into seeking HIM.

HE rewards us who diligently seek HIM on a daily basis.  There is no part-time Holiness.  We are either diligent or we aren’t.  Paul also wrote by The Holy Spirit in Romans chapter 12:

12 Beloved friends, what should be our proper response to God’s marvelous mercies? I encourage you to surrender yourselves to God to be HIS Sacred, living sacrifices. And live in Holiness, experiencing all that delights HIS Heart. For this becomes your genuine expression of worship.

2 Stop imitating the ideals and opinions of the culture around you, but be inwardly transformed by the Holy Spirit through a total reformation of how you think. This will empower you to discern God’s Will as you live a beautiful life, satisfying and perfect in HIS Eyes.

As our mindset conforms to FATHER’S Mindset, we are truly worshipping HIM.  As our transformation moves toward purity, our worship becomes pure.  We become expressions of HIM and we truly walk in Holiness and in the fear of THE LORD.

Christmas Testimony

January 15th, 2021

I received this letter addressed to “the Mystery Man” which is actually all of us who contributed to Servias Ministries. It is a true testimony of changing kids’ lives as well as impacting those who participated in the distribution.

We continue to support the impoverished kids which provides hope and acceptance in their lives.

Trust The Plan

January 14th, 2021

Each of us needs to “Trust THE Plan”.

When a plan is put in place, it contains strategies to insure implementation.  A strategy involves setting goals and priorities, determining actions to achieve the goals, and mobilizing resources to execute the actions.  A strategy describes how the ends (goals) will be achieved by the means (resources).   FATHER has a specific plan for each of us and it includes the use of angels who specifically carry out FATHER’S directives.

Jeremiah recorded by The Holy Spirit in chapter 29:

11 For I know the thoughts and plans that I have for you, says the Lord, thoughts and plans for welfare and peace and not for evil, to give you hope in your final outcome.

12 Then you will call upon Me, and you will come and pray to Me, and I will hear and heed you.

13 Then you will seek Me, inquire for, and require Me [as a vital necessity] and find Me when you search for Me with all your heart.

FATHER’S strategies address every conceivable move by the adversary thus HE is always successful when we submit to HIS directives for our lives.  Problems arise when we allow our soulish understanding to make decisions and take actions contrary to FATHER’S perfect plan and Divine Intent for us.  Once again, “we need to get over ourselves” and trust the leading of The Holy Spirit and submit to FATHER’s directives.

It is written by The Holy Spirit in Psalm 139:

10 Wherever I go, Your Hand will guide me;

Your strength will empower me.

11 It’s impossible to disappear from you

or to ask the darkness to hide me,

for Your presence is everywhere, bringing light into my night.

12 There is no such thing as darkness with You.

The night, to You, is as bright as the day;

there’s no difference between the two.

FATHER’s intervention is clearly established in the above verses.  Because of HIS intervention, we are intended to walk according to HIS predetermined plan and not in some haphazard fashion.  HE knows where we are at every moment of every day so HE is always aware of our path and whether it is the one HE has ordained for us.  HE is always ready to correct our steps so that we can return to HIS planned path for us.

13 You formed my innermost being, shaping my delicate inside

and my intricate outside,

and wove them all together in my mother’s womb.

14 I thank you, God, for making me so mysteriously complex!

Everything you do is marvelously breathtaking.

It simply amazes me to think about it!

How thoroughly you know me, Lord!

15 You even formed every bone in my body

when you created me in the secret place,

carefully, skillfully shaping me from nothing to something.

We are truly HIS handiwork and HE knows every aspect of our being.  There was nothing created by some external force or entity.  FATHER takes full credit for bringing into being.  Trust THE PLAN.

16 You saw who you created me to be before I became me!

Before I’d ever seen the light of day,

the number of days You planned for me

were already recorded in Your book.

17–18 Every single moment You are thinking of me!

How precious and wonderful to consider

that You cherish me constantly in Your every thought!

O God, Your desires toward me are more

than the grains of sand on every shore!

When I awake each morning, You’re still with me.

Why did Jesus send The Holy Spirit to us?  Jesus gave us one example in Luke chapter 12

8 “I can assure you of this: If you don’t hold back, but freely declare in public that I am the Son of Man, the Messiah, I will freely declare to all the angels of God that you are mine. 9 But if you publicly pretend that you don’t know me, I will deny you before the angels of God. 10 If anyone speaks evil of me, the Son of Man, he can be forgiven. But if anyone scornfully speaks against the Holy Spirit, it will never be forgiven. 11 And remember this: When people accuse you before everyone and forcefully drag you before the religious leaders and authorities, do not be troubled. Don’t worry about defending yourself or be concerned about how to answer their accusations. 12 Simply be confident and allow the Holy Spirit of Wisdom access to your heart, and he will reveal in that very moment what you are to say to them.”

The Holy Spirit will direct us what words to speak, especially when we are confronted by vessels of dishonor.  Jesus also spoke in John chapter 14:

23 Jesus replied, “Loving Me empowers you to obey My Word. And My Father will Love you so deeply that We will come to you and make you Our dwelling place. 24 But those who don’t Love Me will not obey My Words. The Father did not send Me to speak My own revelation, but the Words of My Father. 25 I am telling you this while I am still with you. 26 But 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 He will inspire you to remember every Word that I’ve told you.

We have been given The Holy Spirit to implement FATHER’S Plan in our lives.  He will set us free and teach us all things we need to know in order to walk out our individual callings and He is totally motivated by Agape Love.  Simply trust The Plan!

The Blood Of Jesus

January 13th, 2021

Understanding the Blood of Jesus Christ is critical to our success in taking real estate for The Kingdom.

Moses wrote as instructed by FATHER in Leviticus chapter 17:

10 ‘And whatever man of the house of Israel, or of the strangers who dwell among you, who eats any blood, I will set My face against that person who eats blood, and will cut him off from among his people. 11 For the life of the flesh is in the blood, and I have given it to you upon the altar to make atonement for your souls; for it is the blood that makes atonement for the soul.’ 12 Therefore I said to the children of Israel, ‘No one among you shall eat blood, nor shall any stranger who dwells among you eat blood.’

13 “Whatever man of the children of Israel, or of the strangers who dwell among you, who hunts and catches any animal or bird that may be eaten, he shall pour out its blood and cover it with dust; 14 for it is the life of all flesh. Its blood sustains its life. Therefore I said to the children of Israel, ‘You shall not eat the blood of any flesh, for the life of all flesh is its blood. Whoever eats it shall be cut off.’

We are to honor the importance of the source of physical life being contained in the blood thus the children of Israel were warned about consuming the blood of any flesh.  They were restricted from consuming blood for any reason.  FATHER would not tolerate corruption as it related to “the blood”.

Jesus spoke in John chapter 6:

51 I am the living bread which came down from heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever; and the bread that I shall give is My flesh, which I shall give for the life of the world.”

52 The Jews therefore quarreled among themselves, saying, “How can this Man give us His flesh to eat?”

53 Then Jesus said to them, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood, you have no life in you. 54 Whoever eats My flesh and drinks My blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day. 55 For My flesh is food indeed,[fn] and My blood is drink indeed. 56 He who eats My flesh and drinks My blood abides in Me, and I in him. 57 As the living Father sent Me, and I live because of the Father, so he who feeds on Me will live because of Me. 58 This is the bread which came down from heaven—not as your fathers ate the manna, and are dead. He who eats this bread will live forever.”

To eat His flesh is to take into our life by faith all that Jesus did for us by giving His body for us. To drink His blood is to take by faith all that the blood of Jesus has purchased for us.  The life is in the Blood thus the power and authority are in the Blood of Christ.  This is why the demons scatter when they realize that the believer fully understands the power of The Blood.

FATHER provided us a foreshadow of this Truth when the death angel bypassed the children of Israel who had applied “the Blood” on their doorposts which protected them from death.  The Blood is greater than death and It provides a real barrier from the works of the devil.  My wife and I apply the Blood of Jesus over our property and other possessions as The Holy Spirit leads us.

The “eating” and “drinking” in communion is receiving the life, power, and virtue of all that Jesus is, to replace all that we were in Adam. Jesus’ Blood and Body is the Tree of Life, which is offered to everyone who follows Him.  This is why we should frequently take communion so that we keep this Truth fresh in our mindset.

Hebrews 9: 11 But Christ came as High Priest of the good things to come, with the greater and more perfect tabernacle not made with hands, that is, not of this creation. 12 Not with the blood of goats and calves, but with His own blood He entered the Most Holy Place once for all, having obtained eternal redemption. 13 For if the blood of bulls and goats and the ashes of a heifer, sprinkling the unclean, sanctifies for the purifying of the flesh,

14 how much more shall the Blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself without spot to God, cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve the living God? 15 And for this reason He is the Mediator of the New Covenant, by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions under the first covenant, that those who are called may receive the promise of the eternal inheritance.

Our entire Covenant with FATHER is based on the Absolute Truth and reality of the Blood of Christ and Its full acceptance by FATHER on our behalf.  We must never downplay Its importance in our battle with the adversary.  The Blood and the Name of Jesus are central to our walk on the Highway of Holiness and are the Source of our power and authority.  Let us not forget!

The Name Of Jesus

January 12th, 2021

The Name of Jesus is the most powerful name on earth and the world will attempt to remove this Reference every chance they get.  However, it does not change or reduce the power associated with His Name.

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Philippians chapter 2:

6 Jesus existed in the form of GOD, yet He gave no thought to seizing equality with GOD as His supreme prize. 7 Instead He emptied Himself of His outward glory by reducing Himself to the form of a lowly servant. He became human! 8 He humbled himself and became vulnerable, choosing to be revealed as a man and was obedient. He was a perfect example, even in his death—a criminal’s death by crucifixion!

9 Because of that obedience, God exalted Him and multiplied his greatness! He has now been given the greatest of all names!

10 The authority of the Name of Jesus causes every knee to bow in reverence! Everything and everyone will one day submit to this Name—in the Heavenly realm, in the earthly realm, and in the demonic realm. 11 And every tongue will proclaim in every language: “Jesus Christ is Lord Yahweh,” bringing glory and honor to God, His Father!

The disciples understood the power and authority in the Name of Jesus thus they relied on this Truth as they expanded the Kingdom of GOD on the earth.  We should embrace this means and do the same.  We must not allow ourselves to treat the Name of Jesus as commonplace in our mindset but instead He should be held in the highest regard at all times.

Luke recorded by The Holy Spirit in Acts chapter 2:

38 Then Peter said to them, “Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the Name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.

40 And with many other words he testified and exhorted them, saying, “Be saved from this perverse generation.” 41 Then those who gladly received his word were baptized; and that day about three thousand souls were added to them. 42 And they continued steadfastly in the apostles’ doctrine and fellowship, in the breaking of bread, and in prayers. 43 Then fear came upon every soul, and many wonders and signs were done through the apostles. 44 Now all who believed were together, and had all things in common, 45 and sold their possessions and goods, and divided them among all, as anyone had need.

Consider the immediate change among those three thousand people as they saw many signs and wonders done through the apostles.  They entered into unity and without hesitancy; they became generous givers to ensure no one among them had any need.  This is an indication of true unity based on Agape Love.

Luke also recorded by The Holy Spirit in Acts chapter 3:

1 Now Peter and John went up together to the temple at the hour of prayer, the ninth hour. 2 And a certain man lame from his mother’s womb was carried, whom they laid daily at the gate of the temple which is called Beautiful, to ask alms from those who entered the temple; 3 who, seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple, asked for alms. 4 And fixing his eyes on him, with John, Peter said, “Look at us.” 5 So he gave them his attention, expecting to receive something from them. 6 Then Peter said, “Silver and gold I do not have, but what I do have I give you: In the Name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk.” 7 And he took him by the right hand and lifted him up, and immediately his feet and ankle bones received strength. 8 So he, leaping up, stood and walked and entered the temple with them—walking, leaping, and praising God. 9 And all the people saw him walking and praising God. 10 Then they knew that it was he who sat begging alms at the Beautiful Gate of the temple; and they were filled with wonder and amazement at what had happened to him.

Peter exercised the healing power and authority of the Name of Jesus and healed the man who was lame from birth.  No one could dispute this healing and its source.  The people were truly amazed which impacted their mindset thus they now had to deal with their past assumptions concerning the Name of Jesus. 

Peter stated “We didn’t make this crippled man walk by our own power or authority.”  He then explained “Faith in Jesus’ Name has healed this man standing before you. It is the faith that comes through believing in Jesus’ Name that has made the crippled man walk right in front of your eyes!”

In Acts chapter 4, Luke also recorded by The Holy Spirit:

23 And being let go, they went to their own companions and reported all that the chief priests and elders had said to them. 24 So when they heard that, they raised their voice to God with one accord and said: “Lord, You are God, who made heaven and earth and the sea, and all that is in them, 25 who by the mouth of Your servant David have said:

​​‘​Why did the nations rage,

​​And the people plot vain things?

26 ​​The kings of the earth took their stand,

​​And the rulers were gathered together

​​Against the LORD and against His Christ.’

​27 “For truly against Your Holy Servant Jesus, whom You anointed, both Herod and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles and the people of Israel, were gathered together 28 to do whatever Your Hand and Your Purpose determined before to be done. 29 Now, Lord, look on their threats, and grant to Your servants that with all boldness they may speak Your Word, 30 by stretching out Your Hand to heal, and that signs and wonders may be done through the Name of Your holy Servant Jesus.

31 And when they had prayed, the place where they were assembled together was shaken; and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and they spoke the Word of God with boldness.

The Holy Spirit responded to the Name of Jesus and was imparted to all who were assembled together.  The place they were at literally shook in response.  Boldness to speak the Word of God was imparted to them, removing any reluctance or reservation they previously had experienced.  Once again, we see that they were in unity as they received this impartation from The Holy Spirit.  Such unity is a key to Kingdom expansion.

In Acts chapter 16, Luke recorded by The Holy Spirit, Paul’s encounter with a demon-possessed slave girl:

16 Now it happened, as we went to prayer, that a certain slave girl possessed with a spirit of divination met us, who brought her masters much profit by fortune-telling. 17 This girl followed Paul and us, and cried out, saying, “These men are the servants of the Most High God, who proclaim to us the way of salvation.” 18 And this she did for many days.

But Paul, greatly annoyed, turned and said to the spirit, “I command you in the Name of Jesus Christ to come out of her.” And he came out that very hour.

The Name of Jesus brings forth salvation.  The Name of Jesus brings forth healing.  The Name of Jesus brings forth deliverance.  The Name of Jesus brings forth true unity.  The Name of Jesus brings forth expansion of the Kingdom of GOD on the earth.  The Name of Jesus brings forth a confirming response from The Holy Spirit.

“FATHER,

Empower us, as your servants, to speak the Word of God freely and courageously.  Stretch out YOUR Hand of power through us to heal, and to move in signs and wonders by the Name of YOUR Holy Son, Jesus!”  Amen!

Feasting On The Word

January 11th, 2021

The mature Sons and Daughters actively do FATHER’S perfect plan, Will, and purpose on earth.  Jesus spoke in John chapter 6:

28 They replied, “So what should we do if we want to do God’s work?”

29 Jesus answered, “The work you can do for God starts with believing in the One HE has sent.”

30–31 They replied, “Show us a miracle so we can see it, and then we’ll believe in you. Moses took care of our ancestors who were fed by the miracle of manna every day in the desert, just like the Scripture says, ‘He fed them with bread from Heaven.’ What sign will you perform for us?”

32 “The Truth is,” Jesus said, “Moses didn’t give you the bread of Heaven. It’s My Father who offers bread that comes as a dramatic sign from Heaven. 33 The bread of God is the One who came out of Heaven to give His life to feed the world.”

34 “Then please, sir, give us this bread every day,” they replied.

35 Jesus said to them, “I am the Bread of Life. Come every day to me and you will never be hungry. Believe in me and you will never be thirsty. 36 Yet I’ve told you that even though you’ve seen Me, you still don’t believe in Me. 37 But everyone My Father has given to Me, they will come. And all who come to Me, I will embrace and will never turn them away. 38 And I have come out of Heaven not for My own desires, but for the satisfaction of My Father who sent Me. 39 My Father who sent Me has determined that I will not lose even one of those HE has given to me, and I will raise them up in the last day. 40 For the longing of My Father is that everyone who embraces the Son and believes in Him will experience eternal life and I will raise them up in the last day!”

We should eat of the Bread of Life daily and this is accomplished by “feasting” on The Word, especially those that Jesus spoke.  The adversary knows Scripture as confirmed when he tested Jesus in the wilderness. 

We should know the Word better than our adversary lest we be ensnared by someone’s interpretation of the Word which conveys their intent or bias.  We must allow The Holy Spirit to direct us to FATHER’S Divine Intent of each topic we study in Scripture.  When we know HIS Heart on a matter, the revelation in The Word comes alive within us and produces good fruit.

If your fruit is lacking, it may be due to your lack of understanding.  Meditating on The Word daily will increase your faith and keep your reverence for FATHER at the forefront.  If you meditate on the current events of the world, your heart will soon grow cold and you will ultimately become lukewarm.  I won’t let current events dictate my day and neither should you.

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Romans chapter 12:

1 Beloved friends, what should be our proper response to God’s marvelous mercies? I encourage you to surrender yourselves to God to be HIS sacred, living sacrifices. And live in Holiness, experiencing all that delights HIS Heart. For this becomes your genuine expression of worship.

2 Stop imitating the ideals and opinions of the culture around you, but be inwardly transformed by the Holy Spirit through a total reformation of how you think. This will empower you to discern GOD’S Will as you live a beautiful life, satisfying and perfect in HIS Eyes.

As we read and meditate on The Word daily, we are transformed and our mindset fully aligns with FATHER.  HIS priorities become our priorities thus our lives become satisfying in HIS Eyes.  The Word changes the way we think and this is critical to achieving full maturity IN HIM.

When I surrender my body, time, and focus as a living sacrifice, FATHER sees it as a “genuine expression of worship” and this is pleasing to HIM.  What do you think HIS response is when we are in this state?  It is HIS desire to bless everything we set our hands to do!

In Luke 4, Jesus spoke to the devil:

4  But Jesus answered him, saying, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every Word of God.’ ”

This is how we are instructed to live and should not allow ourselves to go Spiritually hungry on any given day.

In Matthew chapter 13, Jesus compared those who were at various stages concerning reading, studying, and meditating on The Word:

18 “Now you are ready to listen to the revelation of the parable of the sower and his seeds:

19 “The seed that fell on the beaten path represents the heart of the one who hears the message of the kingdom realm but doesn’t understand it. The Adversary then comes and snatches away what was sown into his heart.

20 “The seed sown on gravel represents the person who gladly hears the Kingdom message, but his experience remains shallow. 21 Shortly after he hears it, troubles and persecutions come because of the Kingdom message he received. Then he quickly falls away, for the Truth didn’t sink deeply into his heart.

22 “The seed sown among weeds represents the person who receives the message, but all of life’s busy distractions, his divided heart, and his ambition for wealth result in suffocating the Kingdom message and prevent him from bearing Spiritual fruit.

23 “As for the seed that fell upon good, rich soil, it represents the hearts of people who hear and fully embrace the message of Heaven’s Kingdom realm. Their lives bear good fruit—some yield a harvest of thirty, sixty, even one hundred times as much as was sown.” 

When we fully embrace The Word, our lives bear good fruit.  We must be accurate fruit inspectors, especially of our own fruit.  When I encounter believers with major issues, what does their fruit or lack thereof of tell me?  When I hear of no fresh testimonies attributed to FATHER, what does that indicate in that person’s life? 

Why do you think FATHER has me write to you virtually every day?  It is to promote feasting on HIS Word and revelation that is being given for that day.  I look forward to hearing what is on FATHER’S Mind as The Holy Spirit directs my focus.  I may benefit more than any other reader of these blogs and I am good with that for in the end, it is all about pleasing FATHER.

The enemy wants to steal The Word but we must not allow this situation to occur for much is at stake.  The world needs us to lead them to the Light and away from spiritual darkness, death, and destruction.  We need to give hope to the world by our words and our actions.  They need to see our fruitfulness as a testimony of our walk with FATHER.  As for me, I make an investment in the Kingdom daily thus I am expecting to reap a great return so that I can bless others.  Join me in this blessed walk and you will be equally blessed.

111

January 10th, 2021

In the mid-1990’s I was busy working in my office developing some software for my business.  Suddenly, the anointing came upon me and FATHER spoke “Turn around and look at the wall clock.”  It was exactly 1:11 and 11 seconds in the afternoon.  HE then said, “I bring forth MY anointing whenever I so desire.”

Ever since that day, I have been watchful of 111 and 11111, especially as it relates to time and dates.  Tomorrow is 1/11 of the new year thus I will be observant of this date as I do each year.  Will HIS anointing come forth for some purpose tomorrow?  I have no idea at this point.
