The image is never exactly like the original, never!  The image is inferior and the original is superior.  The problem started because GOD gave man free will because that is part of being made in the image of GOD.  Part of that image was that we were given the ability to choose.

The problem was that man did not have the ability to choose correctly in all areas by himself thus FATHER eliminated the ability for man to know evil.  This is a primary difference between the image and the original.

Because Adam and Eve had eyes to discern between good and evil after they had eaten of the fruit, they had no way to deal autonomously with evil.  Since their genetic makeup did not allow for it, they could be tempted and seduced whereas GOD cannot be.

The difference between the image and the original created a small barrier which meant we were always intended to be submissive to FATHER.  We were meant to honor HIM and never mistreat the relationship hence “the fear of THE LORD”.

FATHER and Jesus understood the potential liability of giving man free will thus THEY decided that Jesus would redeem man before they formed the first man.  In Revelation 13, The Beloved Disciple wrote as directed by The Holy Spirit:

8 All who dwell on the earth will worship him, whose names have not been written in the Book of Life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.

The plan was in place to redeem man even before Adam and Eve.  It is all about Agape Love!

FATHER knew that when HE gave man free will, man would not do the correct thing in every situation thus HE had the solution before the first problem surfaced on earth.  FATHER is always multiple steps ahead of unrighteousness.  He and Jesus agreed to the plan and became Our Redeemer.

As a result of Adam’s sin in the garden, he was becoming a mere man and losing his status as a “Son of GOD”.  What was the result?  He had to be cast out of the garden and his body would begin to deteriorate ultimately resulting in physical death.

As Moses who received the revelation of Genesis wrote in chapter 5:

5  So all the days that Adam lived were nine hundred and thirty years; and he died.

Enoch was the exception:

21 Enoch lived sixty-five years, and begot Methuselah. 22 After he begot Methuselah, Enoch walked with God three hundred years, and had sons and daughters. 23 So all the days of Enoch were three hundred and sixty-five years. 24 And Enoch walked with God; and he was not, for God took him.

Enoch did not suffer physical death because he pursued a mature relationship of walking with GOD.  He knew the story of the garden since Adam was 622 years old when Enoch was born.  Over the next 65 years, Enoch would hear of the stories from the garden and responded to them by seeking a relationship with FATHER.  He was rewarded by spending 300 years on earth walking in fellowship with GOD.

Methuselah born to Enoch at the age 65 so Methuselah was surely instructed by Enoch for 300 years concerning the way of THE LORD.  This was critical since Noah would receive the “handed down” instructions from Methuselah.  Noah was born when Methuselah was 369 years old.  They had 600 years to talk about the garden, Adam’s walk with THE LORD, and Enoch’s walk with THE LORD (as a double witness).  

All of this detail provides us with perspective of FATHER’S overall plan of redemption.  HE was protecting the bloodline of mankind from the nephilim and their intent to compromise that bloodline by modifying the genetics of men.  FATHER instructed Enoch on Holiness and righteousness.

Holiness is the state of being Holy; purity or integrity of moral character; freedom from sin; sanctity. Applied to the Supreme Being, Holiness denotes perfect purity or integrity of moral character, one of HIS essential attributes.

Righteousness is purity of heart and rectitude of life; conformity of heart and life to the Divine Law. Righteousness as used in Scripture, in which it is chiefly used, is nearly equivalent to Holiness, comprehending Holy principles and affections of heart, and conformity of life to the Divine Law. It includes all we call justice, honesty and virtue, with Holy affections.

FATHER is HOLY and HE is the “original”.  The “image” started out Holy but broke The Law and became subject to sin.  To become Holy, we must walk in righteousness which includes the conformity of heart and life to the Divine Law.

We can be Holy and Righteous through the Blood of Our Redeemer.  However, we must walk by Holy principles as well which is done by being fully led by The Holy Spirit.

When Jesus was asked about the end times, He responded in Matthew 24.  He goes into detail but I want to focus on the following verse:

24 For false christs and false prophets will rise and show great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect. 25 See, I have told you beforehand.

Jesus emphasized how great the deception would be and many will be deceived except for the elect (those GOD has chosen to be HIS).  Peter wrote in his 2^nd epistle in chapter 1 by The Holy Spirit:

​2 Grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord, 3 as His divine power has given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him who called us by glory and virtue, 4 by which have been given to us exceedingly great and precious promises, that through these you may be partakers of the Divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.

The mature Sons and Daughters will not be affected by the great deception because of being partakers of the Divine nature.  They will see the great deception because they had “eyes to see” and “ears to hear”.

This great deception had it origin in the garden of Eden. 

Adam and Eve were taken from the garden because they disobeyed a simple command.  Eve had free will to believe a deception and she chose the lie over the Truth spoken by FATHER.  Adam followed.

FATHER never meant for a man to know evil but still gave him the choice.  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.”

FATHER conveyed dominion of the earth to man and they were made in ‘Our image” thus man was lower than GOD but higher than angels.  Man was made with a designated set of chromosomes and genes thus creating a pure man and woman and there were no blemishes.

In order to establish the order of fellowship with man, FATHER designated one tree that man could not eat from in the garden.  It was the fig tree in the center of the garden of Eden.  When GOD came down every day to fellowship with Adam and Eve, HE ate of that tree in their midst for HE is could know evil and still choose good and it became well established that this was HIS tree.  Man was not equipped to make the right choice every time and so he was not allowed to partake of the fig tree. 

Man was given dominion over everything on earth except one tree.  This was GOD’S tree and man did not have the right or authorization from the HIGHER AUTHORITY to eat of that tree’s fruit.  Effectively, the first law was established for man to abide by lest he receive judgment for breaking the “law”.

Since Adam could not eat of that tree, it clearly and unquestionably established the higher versus lower in their relationship.  However, FATHER had given both Adam and Eve the right of choice thus they could break the law but would suffer its judgment. 

It would reconfirm that they were made in HIS image but were not 100% equivalent or at the same level in any area… just a little lower by design.  The tree was a barrier to remind them that they were not GOD.  The image is never exactly like the “original”.  The lower must always submit to the higher, the image only reflects the higher but is not at the precise same level… ever.

Sickness and disease has its origins from satan and his demons.  Jesus dealt with demon-based sicknesses multiple times in His ministry yet many believers today believe sickness and disease are a result of some other origin. 

Did FATHER make a mistake when HE formed us in the womb?  Did HE decide to give us inferior genes and chromosomes so that we would develop in an imperfect manner?

People tend to discount the reality of demons today.  I believe this is due to lack of knowledge and/or lack of understanding.  My family has encountered demons more than once over the years thus you cannot convince me that they don’t exist.  They prefer to operate in darkness where they manipulate those who are ignorant of their devices.  They will put thoughts and imaginations in your mind which are contrary to The Word of GOD.

Demons want to promote fear and doubt in us resulting in us not being healed.  We can remove fear and doubt by obtaining knowledge AND understanding of FATHER’S Word.  If we fully understand and accept FATHER’S Divine Intent for us, we will receive healing.

Matthew chapter 15:

21 Then Jesus went out from there and departed to the region of Tyre and Sidon. 22 And behold, a woman of Canaan came from that region and cried out to Him, saying, “Have mercy on me, O Lord, Son of David! My daughter is severely demon-possessed.”

23 But He answered her not a word.

And His disciples came and urged Him, saying, “Send her away, for she cries out after us.”

24 But He answered and said, “I was not sent except to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.”

Jesus stated the expressed intent that He was to minister to the house of Israel and not the “gentiles” of Canaan yet He did not tell the disciples to send her away.  Instead, He allowed her access to Him:

25 Then she came and worshiped Him, saying, “Lord, help me!”

26 But He answered and said, “It is not good to take the children’s bread and throw it to the little dogs.”

27 And she said, “Yes, Lord, yet even the little dogs eat the crumbs which fall from their masters’ table.”

28 Then Jesus answered and said to her, “O woman, great is your faith! Let it be to you as you desire.” And her daughter was healed from that very hour.

Jesus responds to great faith.  The woman fully relied on Jesus to heal her daughter and her faith IN HIM brought forth healing and deliverance from the demon.  Jesus did not challenge her diagnosis of the daughter being plagued by a demon.  He acknowledged the reality of her daughter being demon-possessed.

Later in Acts chapter 10, Peter attested by The Holy Spirit:

34 Then Peter opened his mouth and said: “In truth I perceive that GOD shows no partiality. 35 But in every nation whoever fears HIM and works righteousness is accepted by HIM. 36 The Word which GOD sent to the children of Israel, preaching peace through Jesus Christ—He is Lord of all— 37 that word you know, which was proclaimed throughout all Judea, and began from Galilee after the baptism which John preached: 38 how GOD anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power, Who went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for GOD was with Him.

If I am having trouble with the full manifestation of healing, I must dig deeper to find out the source of the problem.  I can assure you that the problem is not FATHER and HIS Divine Intent.  The problem lies within me.  This is where much prayer and fasting must expose the issue.

We must build ourselves up as Jude states by The Holy Spirit:

20 But you, my delightfully loved friends, constantly and progressively build yourselves up on the foundation of your most holy faith by praying every moment in the Holy Spirit. 21 Fasten your hearts to the Love of GOD and receive the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ, Who gives us eternal life.

There are times when I am praying In The Holy Spirit that FATHER reveals things to me (revelation) which are in need of attention.  I cannot neglect them but instead I must record them so that I don’t forget to take action accordingly.  I must not delay in taking care of what is revealed to me during my prayer time even if it is inconvenient.

When we understand who the enemy is and what their devices are, we are able to resolve the issue before us.  If it originates from the adversary then we must deal with it head on.

Paul wrote to the Ephesians by The Holy Spirit in chapter 6:

10 Now my beloved ones, I have saved these most important Truths for last: Be supernaturally infused with strength through your life-union with the Lord Jesus. Stand victorious with the force of His explosive power flowing in and through you.

11 Put on God’s complete set of armor provided for us, so that you will be protected as you fight against the evil strategies of the accuser

Jesus, Peter, James, and Paul directly addressed the reality of the accuser and his demons and their evil strategies to kill, still, and destroy.  We must not be ignorant of their devices but deal with them according to The Word… Fear not!

Are you currently dealing with an area of weakness, frustration, or lack of fruitfulness?  Healing, relationships, and finances seem to top the list with most of us.  Some may be dealing with just one area whereas others are dealing with several.  What is the solution?  The only sure solution is found in Heaven and it is up to each of us to pull the solution out of Heaven and bring it to the earth.  This can be challenging depending on where you are at in your walk.

In Matthew chapter 6, Jesus instructed us how to pray resulting in bringing Heaven’s solutions to earth:

5 “Whenever you pray, be sincere and not like the pretenders who love the attention they receive while praying before others in the meetings and on street corners. Believe Me, they’ve already received in full their reward. 6 But whenever you pray, go into your innermost chamber and be alone with Father God, praying to HIM in secret. And your Father, who sees all you do, will reward you openly. 7 When you pray, there is no need to repeat empty phrases, praying like those who don’t know God, for they expect God to hear them because of their many words. 8 There is no need to imitate them, since your Father already knows what you need before you ask him. 9 Pray like this:

‘Our Father, dwelling in the heavenly realms,

    may the glory of Your Name

    be the center on which our lives turn.

10 Manifest YOUR Kingdom realm,

    and cause YOUR every purpose to be fulfilled on earth,

    just as it is fulfilled in Heaven.

11 We acknowledge YOU as our Provider

    of all we need each day.

12 Forgive us the wrongs we have done as we ourselves

    release forgiveness to those who have wronged us.

13 Rescue us every time we face tribulation

    and set us free from evil

    For YOU are the King Who rules

    with power and glory forever. Amen.

Are there questions in Heaven?  No.  Is there sickness or disease in Heaven?  Again, no.  Is there lack in Heaven?  None to be found.  Jesus instructed us to pray the “substance” of Heaven to earth whether it be healing, finances, or solutions to other issues we are facing.  There are no exceptions even though men through their worldly reasoning would have us believe there are.

We are to bring the nature and resources of Heaven to earth in all areas, none are excluded.  There are no “but’s” or list of exceptions.

How often are we to set such an expectation?  “This day or each day” means daily, not occasionally.  Jesus implies here that we are to be diligent in this regard.  It is written by The Holy Spirit in Hebrews chapter 11:

6 But without faith it is impossible to please HIM, for he who comes to GOD must believe that HE is, and that HE is a Rewarder of those who diligently seek HIM.

If FATHER rewards, then there must be some type of reward system.  HE rewards us based on our faith and our diligence.  Some would argue that FATHER is no respecter of persons (Acts 10:34 KJV).  These words spoken by Peter referenced salvation of nations, not blessings to believers.  Oh how men try to rationalize their failure in receiving the benefits from FATHER!

What is diligence?  It is “careful and persistent work or effort”.  Is there a time restriction to being diligent?  No.  If you need to be healed, you must walk in faith by diligently seeking FATHER in the area of healing.  It must become a revelation in your heart, not just your head.  You must immerse yourself in FATHER’S promises to the point where The Word explodes in your heart and your healing is fulfilled.

How do I know?  I have had to go through this specific process myself to the point where I will not be denied of FATHER’S reward.  My sickness was life-threatening so I relied on the fact there were no exclusions in Jesus’ commitment to being Our Healer. 

When you need healing, what else matters?  Is there any greater priority?  As for me, FATHER instructed me to immerse myself in HIS Word throughout each day.  I did so until my healing was fully manifested.  Am I special or unique?  Absolutely not, my wife can attest to that.  I was simply diligent in what I was instructed to do.  We must be tenacious and not be denied for this is what great faith requires.

In Matthew chapter 12, Jesus spoke:

33 “You must determine if a tree is good or rotten. You can recognize good trees by their delicious fruit. But if you find rotten fruit, you can be certain that the tree is rotten. The fruit defines the tree. 34 But you who are known as the Pharisees are rotten to the core! You’ve been poisoned by the nature of a venomous snake. How can your words be good and trustworthy if you are rotten within? For what has been stored up in your hearts will be heard in the overflow of your words!

35 “When virtue is stored within, the hearts of good and upright people will produce good fruit. But when evil is hidden within, those who are evil will produce evil fruit. 36 You can be sure of this: when the day of judgment comes, everyone will be held accountable for every careless word he has spoken. 37 Your very words will be used as evidence against you, and your words will declare you either innocent or guilty.”

There is so much false rhetoric being thrown around… the lies abound.  People simply don’t realize that there are consequences to their words.  Can you imagine FATHER joking around or misleading us given the power of HIS Words?  Once you realize the potential of your words, you begin to watch over them in a much greater way.

Your trustworthiness is measured by your words.  If we are to mature as Sons of GOD, we must produce good fruit at all times and not allow ourselves to be swept into the abundance of lies being spewed out by those who are of the adversary.

Can you imagine being described as “rotten to the core” by the Son of GOD Who only speaks what He hears from FATHER?  How about a venomous snake?  Religion attacked revelation in an attempt to maintain power and control yet it totally backfired when the Pharisees sent Jesus to the cross.

When Jesus spoke of judgment for your careless words, He meant it!  We must focus on words of life and restoration thus we must become disciplined in our communication and watch over our words in a consistent fashion.  In order to do this, we should immerse ourselves in prayer and meditation on The Word.

When The Word becomes more alive than the temporal world around you, you will achieve total peace in these tumultuous times.  You will not walk in fear but instead you will walk in perfect Love.  We must not allow ourselves to be disqualified by allowing those around us to prick our emotions and move us into a debate over current worldly issues.  Opinions don’t matter, on the Truth matters.

The adversary wants to retain control over this world.  He can’t do it himself so he will use those who are willing to sell themselves to him though they have no clue of the ramifications of such a decision.  They have given themselves over to worldly desires.  The Beloved Disciple wrote by The Holy Spirit in 1 John chapter 2:

15 Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the Love of THE FATHER is not in him. 16 For all that is in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—is not of the Father but is of the world. 17 And the world is passing away, and the lust of it; but he who does the will of GOD abides forever.

Each day is full of decisions large and small.  As we become more like Our Elder Brother, Our words will originate from The Holy Spirit and our walk will reflect FATHER’S Divine Intent without variation. 

Repent daily of any unrighteousness and ask FATHER to help you in all you say and do.  FATHER is pleased with those Sons and Daughters who seek to do HIS perfect Will and who properly represent HIM to the world.

This just came in from one of the local teachers:  Her student, Y*** is from Guatemala.  She and her family spent 2 years being held up in customs in their migration here.  In that process, her father died.  She has an unbelievable story, and we’re grateful to have her in my class.

Good day:

I thank you for supporting my family by donating 2 gift cards to us.  They were very helpful to my family.  We were able to buy food for all of us and school supplies for my daughter, Y***.  

I thank God in our prayers for the generosity of the persons who made this donation.  May God Bless You.

A thousand thanks,  The Cha****-Mol**** Family

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

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

and to goodness add understanding,

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

and to self-control add patient endurance,

and to patient endurance add godliness,

7 and to godliness add mercy toward your brothers and sisters,

and to mercy toward others add unending Love.

8 Since these virtues are already planted deep within, and you possess them in abundant supply, they will keep you from being inactive or fruitless in your pursuit of knowing Jesus Christ more intimately. 9 But if anyone lacks these things, he is blind, constantly closing his eyes to the mysteries of our faith, and forgetting his innocence—for his past sins have been washed away.

10 For this reason, beloved ones, be eager to confirm and validate that God has invited you to salvation and claimed you as HIS own. If you do these things, you will never stumble. 11 As a result, the kingdom’s gates will open wide to you as God choreographs your triumphant entrance into the eternal Kingdom of Our Lord and Savior, Jesus the Messiah.

The only reason a person does not walk in the fruitfulness of the above virtues is due to his or her blindness which forgetfulness.  We must never lose focus of this Truth.

Unending Love requires discipline and obedience.  When I am instructed by The Holy Spirit to do or say something, I purpose to be timely and complete in my response.  What is usually the most difficult area for people to be obedient?  It is when you are instructed to give.  If you are not a giver, you are blind to the benefits stated by Jesus in His own Words in Luke chapter 6:

38 “Give generously and generous gifts will be given back to you, shaken down to make room for more. Abundant gifts will pour out upon you with such an overflowing measure that it will run over the top! Your measurement of generosity becomes the measurement of your return.”

If a person cannot pass the test of giving, that person will never fully mature.  I have walked according to those Words in verse 38 for decades and can attest to their validity.  FATHER is overjoyed when we respond to this most difficult area of discipline and obedience.  When we respond to HIS directives, we attack greed head on for it is the root of all evil.

I have missed it in the past?  Of course.  I do not let past failures keep me from current success.  My past failures provide a comparison for instruction.

Many in the ministry are unwilling to deal with the hardheartedness of people who will not joyfully give.  I have no problem is dealing with such an unpopular topic among believers since FATHER provides my family’s needs and desires.  I have no congregation to hold me hostage from dealing with tough topics.  Jesus also had no problem in challenging those who needed a “corrective interview”.

FATHER wants all of us to walk in HIS fullness of the above virtues.  If HE didn’t, HE would not have instructed Peter to share them for they are all attainable to those who are not blind.

Because of my education and past experience in business, people often ask my opinion about investments.  I now have no opinion or position apart from FATHER’S Word.  Simply do what HE instructs you to do and/or say and HE will guide you into prosperity in whatever form is needed to fulfill your personal requirements as well as the desires of your heart.

Agape Love requires discipline and obedience.  As a result, you will produce much good fruit and will have the means to help others.

It is written by The Holy Spirit in Psalm chapter 105:

7 ​​HE is the LORD Our God;

​​HIS judgments are in all the earth.

8 ​​HE remembers HIS covenant forever,

​​The word which HE commanded, for a thousand generations,

9 ​​The covenant which HE made with Abraham,

​​And HIS oath to Isaac,

10 ​​And confirmed it to Jacob for a statute,

​​To Israel as an everlasting covenant,

11 ​​Saying, “To you I will give the land of Canaan

​​As the allotment of your inheritance,”

12 ​​When they were few in number,

​​Indeed very few, and strangers in it.

​

There is no variance in FATHER’S Word as HE made a covenant with Abraham, an oath to Isaac, and confirmed it to Jacob.  HE provided three witnesses to HIS commitment. 

13 ​​When they went from one nation to another,

​​From one kingdom to another people,

14 ​​HE permitted no one to do them wrong;

​​Yes, HE rebuked kings for their sakes,

15 ​​Saying, “Do not touch MY anointed ones,

​​And do MY prophets no harm.”

​

FATHER actively enforces HIS covenant with us as we walk according to HIS Word.  However, when we stray from HIS Divine Intent, we bring forth judgment in some form.  Since HE has given us the ability and right to choose, we are responsible for our actions and the resulting fruit- good or bad. 

This does not negate HIS Word so out of Agape Love, HE will always provide us with a way to restoration.  HIS plan may be obscure to us at the time but as we get a greater revelation of HIS Love, we will be assured of a way out of our trouble.  HE knew a famine was coming to the land and HE had been preparing Joseph for such a time.  However, Joseph needed to come to the end of himself and walk in a crucified manner as we see in the following passage:

16 ​​Moreover HE called for a famine in the land;

​​HE destroyed all the provision of bread.

17 ​​HE sent a man before them—

​​Joseph—who was sold as a slave.

18 ​​They hurt his feet with fetters,

​​He was laid in irons.

19 ​​Until the time that HIS word came to pass,

​​The word of the LORD tested him.

20 ​​The king sent and released him,

​​The ruler of the people let him go free.

21 ​​He made him lord of his house,

​​And ruler of all his possessions,

22 ​​To bind his princes at his pleasure,

​​And teach his elders wisdom.

FATHER will test those whom HE Loves so that they will mature into the fullness of their calling.  Joseph’s training lasted several years and he suffered many disappointments during that time.  However, he persevered and increased in maturity.

Joseph was tempted by the world on multiple fronts but passed the test in each case.  FATHER gave Joseph the dream concerning his future when Joseph was seventeen.  As we all know, teenagers “know it all” thus Joseph openly conveyed the dream to his brothers.  They were not pleased to hear the dream and plotted to remove their brother from their midst.   Was FATHER surprised by their plan?  Not in the least.

Later in Genesis chapter 45, Joseph revealed FATHER’S plan to his brothers:

3 Then Joseph said to his brothers, “I am Joseph; does my father still live?” But his brothers could not answer him, for they were dismayed in his presence. 4 And Joseph said to his brothers, “Please come near to me.” So they came near. Then he said: “I am Joseph your brother, whom you sold into Egypt. 5 But now, do not therefore be grieved or angry with yourselves because you sold me here; for God sent me before you to preserve life. 6 For these two years the famine has been in the land, and there are still five years in which there will be neither plowing nor harvesting. 7 And God sent me before you to preserve a posterity for you in the earth, and to save your lives by a great deliverance. 8 So now it was not you who sent me here, but God; and He has made me a father to Pharaoh, and lord of all his house, and a ruler throughout all the land of Egypt.

Joseph went through an extended time of testing in order to prepare him for his calling.  FATHER did not divulge the details of this time of testing for it would have been too much for a seventeen year old teenager to handle.

These times of testing are meant to build up our faith and remove the “chaff” in our lives.  Instead of resisting these tests, embrace them knowing that FATHER’S Love exceeds anything you or I must go through.

The power of GOD is always present to heal and HE is always available but we don’t tap into IT, we have to yield to The Holy Spirit in order to walk in that power.  Jesus fully submitted to FATHER’S directives.  Jesus spoke in Matthew chapter 26:

36 Then Jesus led his disciples to an orchard called “The Oil Press.” He told them, “Sit here while I go and pray over there.” 37 He took Peter, Jacob, and John with Him. However, an intense feeling of great sorrow plunged His soul into deep sorrow and agony. 38 And He said to them, “My heart is overwhelmed and crushed with grief. It feels as though I’m dying. Stay here and keep watch with Me.”

39 Then He walked a short distance away, and overcome with grief, He threw himself facedown on the ground and prayed, “My Father, if there is any way You can deliver Me from this suffering, please take it from Me. Yet what I want is not important, for I only desire to fulfill YOUR plan for Me.” Then an angel from Heaven appeared to strengthen him.

How many of us have fully come to the same place?  FATHER, I only desire to fulfill YOUR plan for me!  If we truly want to fully mature according to FATHER’S plan, we must be led by The Holy Spirit… especially in our weaknesses.  Jesus was overcome with grief yet He would not submit to that grief and turn away from FATHER’S plan.

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Romans chapter 8:

21 all creation longs for freedom from its slavery to decay and to experience with us the wonderful freedom coming to GOD’s children. 22 To this day we are aware of the universal agony and groaning of creation, as if it were in the contractions of labor for childbirth. 23 And it’s not just creation. We who have already experienced the firstfruits of the Spirit also inwardly groan as we passionately long to experience our full status as GOD’s Sons and Daughters—including our physical bodies being transformed. 24 For this is the hope of our salvation.

But hope means that we must trust and wait for what is still unseen. For why would we need to hope for something we already have? 25 So because our hope is set on what is yet to be seen, we patiently keep on waiting for its fulfillment.

26 And in a similar way, the Holy Spirit takes hold of us in our human frailty to empower us in our weakness. For example, at times we don’t even know how to pray, or know the best things to ask for. But the Holy Spirit rises up within us to super-intercede on our behalf, pleading to FATHER with emotional sighs too deep for words.

27 FATHER, the searcher of the heart, knows fully our longings, yet HE also understands the desires of the Spirit, because the Holy Spirit passionately pleads before FATHER for us, his Holy ones, in perfect harmony with FATHER’S plan and our destiny.

28 So we are convinced that every detail of our lives is continually woven together to fit into FATHER’S perfect plan of bringing good into our lives, 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!

As we submit to the Holy Spirit and pray in “Tongues”, FATHER enlightens our understanding in the areas of our weakness and we are brought into HIS destined plan to share the likeness of HIS Son in all areas.  This is when we begin to flow in the power which is present to heal and deliver.

Paul also wrote by THE SPIRIT in 2 Corinthians chapter 12:

7 The extraordinary level of the revelations I’ve received is no reason for anyone to exalt me. For this is why a thorn in my flesh was given to me, the Adversary’s messenger sent to harass me, keeping me from becoming arrogant. 8 Three times I pleaded with the Lord to relieve me of this. 9 But HE answered me, “MY grace is always more than enough for you, and MY power finds Its full expression through your weakness.” So I will celebrate my weaknesses, for when I’m weak I sense more deeply the mighty power of Christ living in me. 10 So I’m not defeated by my weakness, but delighted! For when I feel my weakness and endure mistreatment—when I’m surrounded with troubles on every side and face persecution because of my Love for Christ—I am made yet stronger. For my weakness becomes a portal to GOD’S power.

Are you ready to become a portal for GOD’S power?

We continue to help impoverished kids with 100% of your tithes and contributions.  Since they cannot repay the assistance, FATHER takes on that responsibility and you cannot out-give Our Heavenly Father.

Hi, I am so grateful for your generosity and kindness towards my family.  We were struggling, and the gift cards came at just the right time.  We were able to put food on the table and get some new shoes for my children to start school in.  It was such a relief to have that need met.  Thank you so much for your thoughtfulness.  My family was blessed. Thanks You,

We had a student on our backpack food program who came to school with shoes falling apart.  The sole of one of the shoes was almost completely falling off and was dangerous for the child to wear.  We knew the family could not afford to run out and buy new shoes easily.  However, we were able to use some of the money donated to quickly purchase two new pairs of shoes for the student within two days.  The student was very excited to get new shoes. 

We also have many students needing snacks every day.  Since we are not able to share snacks as easily this year due to Covid, keeping a stock of snacks has helped make sure students are taken care of. 

What a blessing!!!

PS: FATHER is keeping a record of our acts of Agape Love toward these kids.
