The Mark of True Maturity

February 2nd, 2020

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Colossians chapter 3:

12 You are always and dearly loved by God! So robe yourself with virtues of God, since you have been divinely chosen to be holy. Be merciful as you endeavor to understand others, and be compassionate, showing kindness toward all. Be gentle and humble, unoffendable in your patience with others. 13 Tolerate the weaknesses of those in the family of faith, forgiving one another in the same way you have been graciously forgiven by Jesus Christ. If you find fault with someone, release this same gift of forgiveness to them. 14 For love is supreme and must flow through each of these virtues. Love becomes the mark of true maturity.

Since Love is the mark of true maturity as Sons and Daughters, we must look at our fruit to ascertain where we are at in our spiritual growth.  Paul describes how we should be acting:

5 Live as one who has died to every form of sexual sin and impurity. Live as one who died to diseases, and desires for forbidden things, including the desire for wealth, which is the essence of idol worship. 6 When you live in these vices you ignite the anger of God against these acts of disobedience.

7–8 That’s how you once behaved, characterized by your evil deeds. But now it’s time to eliminate them from your lives once and for all—anger, fits of rage, all forms of hatred, cursing, filthy speech, 9 and lying.  Lay aside your old Adam-self with its masquerade and disguise.

Our words, thoughts, and actions will disclose our current level of maturity.  Yes, we can withhold our thoughts from being exposed to others but FATHER knows our thoughts.  FATHER spoke in Isaiah chapter 55:

8 ​​“For My thoughts are not your thoughts,

​​Nor are your ways My ways,” says the LORD.

9 ​​“For as the heavens are higher than the earth,

​​So are My ways higher than your ways,

​​And My thoughts than your thoughts.”

If FATHER did not know our thoughts, HE would unable to make the above statement as a comparison.  We can fool the people around but FATHER will not be mocked in any way.  We must take control of our thought life as well as every word we speak.  Jesus spoke in Matthew chapter 12:

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.”

If we decide to walk and be led by The Holy Spirit, our destiny has been established in the book written about each of us in Heaven (Psalm 139:16).  As we pursue FATHER’S specific Divine Intent written in our individual book, its contents will be revealed.  Once revealed, it is up to each of us to yield.  Let the following in Psalm 139 be our prayer today:

23 FATHER, I invite your searching gaze into my heart.

Examine me through and through;

find out everything that may be hidden within me.

Put me to the test and sift through all my anxious cares.

24 See if there is any path of pain I’m walking on,

and lead me back to your glorious, everlasting ways—

the path that brings me back to YOU.

In Jesus’ Name,

Amen!

Without Limitation

February 1st, 2020

What is your full potential?

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Ephesians chapter 2:

4 But God still loved us with such great love. He is so rich in compassion and mercy. 5 Even when we were dead and doomed in our many sins, he united us into the very life of Christ and saved us by his wonderful grace! 6 He raised us up with Christ the exalted One, and we ascended with him into the glorious perfection and authority of the heavenly realm, for we are now co-seated as one with Christ!

To be “placed” or “seated” in Heaven means we have been given the perfection and authority to be there.  Do you believe this to be reality for you?  What is keeping us from walking in the fullness of this authority?  Our minds need to be renewed by The Word so that our “perceived” limitations are removed.  We have been conditioned to failure by the world thus our soul tries to protect us from venturing out beyond our perceived limitation.

Paul wrote in Philippians chapter 4:

12–13 I know what it means to lack, and I know what it means to experience overwhelming abundance. For I’m trained in the secret of overcoming all things, whether in fullness or in hunger.  And I find that the strength of Christ’s explosive power infuses me to conquer every difficulty.

We must not restrain Christ’s power in us any longer.

We are to walk without limitation as we fully embrace the Truth that we are Sons and Daughters.  The mature children of GOD are those of us who are moved by the impulses of the Holy Spirit. We did not receive the “spirit of religious duty,” leading us back into the fear of never being good enough.  But we have received the “Spirit of full acceptance,” enfolding us into the family of GOD.  As a result, we will never feel orphaned, for as HE rises up within us, our spirits join HIM in saying the words of tender affection, “Beloved FATHER!”

For the Holy Spirit makes GOD’s fatherhood real to us as he whispers into our innermost being, “You are FATHER’S beloved child!”  And since we are HIS true children, we qualify to share all HIS treasures, for indeed, we are heirs of FATHER HIMSELF.

Since we are joined to Christ, we also inherit all that He is and all that He has.  We will experience being co-glorified with him provided that we accept his sufferings as our own.

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.

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 HIS plan and our destiny which is written in our book (Psalm 139:16).

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. 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.

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!

This is the Absolute Truth and those of us who embrace this Truth and no longer accept the limitations of the flesh but purge anything contradicting the Truth, will walk in the same manner as Our Elder Brother.

As we engage FATHER in everyday life, we know that our next step is supernatural.  As we pray in Tongues, we are reading from our individual “books” in Heaven and are preparing for our next supernatural events.  For we are destined to shed any limitation from preventing our individual callings to come to pass.

GOD Will Not Be Mocked

January 31st, 2020

We are definitely in the “Last Days”.  Plagues, locusts, social unrest, earthquakes, etc. are occurring around the earth with notable intensity.  We must not be negligent in our maturing process without compromise.  We must fill and trim our lamps with oil in preparation of the return of the Bridegroom.

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Galatians chapter 6:

6 And those who are taught the Word must share all good things with their teacher; a sharing of wealth takes place between them.

7 Make no mistake about it, God will never be mocked! For what you plant will always be the very thing you harvest. 8 The harvest you reap reveals the seed that was planted. If you plant the corrupt seeds of self – life into this natural realm, you can expect to experience a harvest of corruption. If you plant the good seeds of Spirit-life you will reap the beautiful fruits that grow from the everlasting life of the Spirit.

9 And don’t allow yourselves to be weary or disheartened in planting good seeds, for the season of reaping the wonderful harvest you’ve planted is coming! 10 Take advantage of every opportunity to be a blessing to others, especially to our brothers and sisters in the family of faith!

The demonic rely on the fact that you don’t know something or that you have misinformation.  Once you know the Truth, you will be free of demonic influence.  Jesus, being full of The Holy Spirit, took dominion over the demons who were entrenched in people’s lives.   We should be preparing ourselves to do the same for we are meant to be “full of The Holy Spirit” as well.

It is critical that our discernment must increase to the point where we can detect demonic activity and deal with it.  The world attempts to mask such activity by labeling it a disease or by simply accepting such activity as “acceptable” in their eyes.  However, FATHER will not be mocked by such lies.  Consider Sodom and Gomorrah.

We must be yielded to The Holy Spirit and speak by The Holy Spirit for people to be changed.  Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in 2 Timothy chapter 3:

3 But you need to be aware that in the final days the culture of society will become extremely fierce and difficult for the people of God. 2 People will be self-centered lovers of themselves and obsessed with money. They will boast of great things as they strut around in their arrogant pride and mock all that is right. They will ignore their own families. They will be ungrateful and ungodly.

3 They will become addicted to hateful and malicious slander. Slaves to their desires, they will be ferocious, belligerent haters of what is good and right. 4 With brutal treachery, they will act without restraint, bigoted and wrapped in clouds of their conceit. They will find their delight in the pleasures of this world more than the pleasures of the loving God.

5 They may pretend to have a respect for God, but in reality they want nothing to do with God’s power. Stay away from people like these! 6 For they are the ones who worm their way into the hearts of vulnerable women, spending the night with those who are captured by their lusts and steeped in sin. 7 They are always learning but never discover the revelation-knowledge of truth.

I need to know the Absolute Truth even if I am wrong, for the Absolute Truth will change me and renew my mind.  I have no interest in religion which denies GOD’S power.  I have no interest in reading books, which in the end, produce no fruit. 

There is no time to waste because FATHER is on the move and I want to be in the middle of what HE is doing.  We need Spiritual revelation not intellectual teaching.  If a pursuit does not increase my effectiveness for the Kingdom’s sake, what then is the point?  I am not interested in being entertained by those who “have a form of godliness but deny the power”.

It is time to be brutally honest with ourselves and properly judge fruit.  We must quit overlooking the corrupt fruit being produced in those who claim to walk in godliness but with no tangible results.  We are not to judge men but we are to judge fruit.  FATHER will judge those men accordingly.  We are warned to stay away from them.  Remember, GOD will not be mocked and man will reap what he sows.

Distribution Report

January 30th, 2020

Tithes and joyful offerings we are receiving are being directed to impoverished school-age children who have no ability to repay.  FATHER has a special place in HIS Heart for children.  In Mark chapter 10, Jesus spoke:

13 The parents kept bringing their little children to Jesus so that he would lay his hands on them and bless them. But the disciples kept rebuking and scolding the people for doing it. 14 When Jesus saw what was happening, he became indignant with his disciples and said to them, “Let all the little children come to me and never hinder them! Don’t you know that God’s kingdom realm exists for such as these? 15 Listen to the truth I speak: Whoever does not open their arms to receive God’s kingdom like a teachable child will never enter it.” 16 Then he embraced each child, and laying his hands on them, he lovingly blessed each one.

When we give to the poor, especially the children, FATHER obligates HIMSELF to repay us for our cheerful giving.  Jesus spoke in Luke chapter 14:

12 Then Jesus turned to his host and said, “When you throw a banquet, don’t just invite your friends, relatives, or rich neighbors—for it is likely they will return the favor. 13–14 It is better to invite those who never get an invitation. Invite the poor to your banquet, along with the outcast, the handicapped, and the blind—those who could never repay you the favor. Then you will experience a great blessing in this life, and at the resurrection of the Godly you will receive a full reward.”

In great gratitude, you and I should expect FATHER to bring forth great blessings in our lives for we are giving out of Agape Love and not out of duty.  We are assuring these kids of receiving food and other essential support. 

We are working with a local school that has a substantial group of impoverished kids.  They are tasked with distributing assistance to those with the most severe needs.  The superintendent and principals are grateful for our assistance since in the past, they would try to help those kids out of their own pockets.

I believe it is important that you know where our funds are going so that you can expect good fruit from your giving and know that the funds are being deployed in accordance with FATHER’S Divine Intent of Agape Love. 

You and I are truly investing in FATHER’S Kingdom. Let the windows of Heaven open up today!

Passionate Love

January 29th, 2020

There is coming a time when it will get dark and whatever oil you have will be your only resource.  Hearing is only part of what we need.  We must also participate in establishing the Kingdom through understanding.

People want to participate but most are distracted by the world and its priorities.  The Holy Spirit was sent to help us and Jesus explained this in John chapter 14:

15 “Loving me empowers you to obey my commands.  16–17 And I will ask the Father and he will give you another Savior, the Holy Spirit of Truth, who will be to you a friend just like me—and he will never leave you. The world won’t receive him because they can’t see him or know him. But you will know him intimately, because he will make his home in you and will live inside you.

The word Savior depicts the role of the Holy Spirit to protect, defend, and save us from our self and our enemies and keep us whole and healed. He is the One who guides and defends, comforts and consoles. Keep in mind that the Holy Spirit is the Spirit of Christ, our Savior. The Aramaic word is paraqleta, which is taken from two root words: (1) praq, “to end, finish, or to save,” and (2) lyta, which means “the curse.” What a beautiful word picture, the Holy Spirit comes to end the work of the curse (of sin) in our lives and to save us from its every effect!

This is why FATHER has had me focus on Agape Love in 2005.  We need to be empowered and Jesus clearly stated the pathway to empowerment.  When one truly Loves, he or she will do anything that perpetuates the relationship.

When we are participating as partakers of HIS Divine Nature, we should be prospering in every area of our life.  If we aren’t, we need to gain understanding and this is accomplished by being fully led by The Holy Spirit.  I can tell you I am not there yet and I know I am the one who needs to change thus I press in daily to allow The Word to sift out anything that is hindering my full maturity.  I trust you are doing the same.

If we are fully obeying FATHER and listening closely to The Holy Spirit, then as Jesus said:

12 “I tell you this timeless truth: The person who follows me in faith, believing in me, will do the same mighty miracles that I do—even greater miracles than these because I go to be with my Father! 13 For I will do whatever you ask me to do when you ask me in my name. And that is how the Son will show what the Father is really like and bring glory to him. 14 Ask me anything in my name, and I will do it for you!

None of the Sons or Daughters should be lacking in any area.  FATHER will impart wisdom, understanding, knowledge, and skill to those who follow the narrow path known as The Way.  Yes, this includes finances.  We must erase the orientation to scarcity from our midst.  We must open our eyes to blessing and prosperity else we will not fulfill our callings  As I have said in the past, “I am just one phone call away from financial blessing.”  There is plenty of money in the world but the wrong people have it.  The Egyptians funded the Exodus.  When Jesus was a baby, “wise men” from the East funded Jesus’ exodus to Egypt so that He would retrace the steps and return to The Promised Land Himself. The reason we will prosper is because Jesus prospers in everything He is associated with in ministry.

Jesus further spoke:

18 “I promise that I will never leave you helpless or abandon you as orphans—I will come back to you! 19 Soon I will leave this world and they will see me no longer, but you will see me, because I will live again, and you will come alive too. 20 So when that day comes, you will know that I am living in the Father and that you are one with me, for I will be living in you. 21 Those who truly love me are those who obey my commands. Whoever passionately loves me will be passionately loved by my Father. And I will passionately love you in return and will manifest my life within you.”

Jesus is not separated from you and me.  We must open our eyes to what He spoke and accept it as the Absolute Truth.  Each of us needs to discard any unworthiness that the adversary wants to keep us enslaved with by constantly bringing up our past.  Accept The Blood of Jesus today for It erases your past sins.

The Holy Spirit is a “defense attorney” Who never loses.  We will become aggressive in our expectations of fruitfulness and will no longer be passive in any area.  Our passion will be apparent in all areas of our life.  If you are not passionate then you should press in even more than you are currently doing.  I can attest that passion will come.  The success of Jesus’ ministry today is based on our success in walking according to the leading of The Holy Spirit.  Let us do it with passionate Love.

No Middleman

January 28th, 2020

You and I don’t need a “middleman” to access Our Heavenly Father.  We need The Holy Spirit to reveal the Absolute Truth which is only found in Heaven.  Yes, there are ministries out there who will promote Truth but we must guard ourselves from placing our reliance on them and their message.  If they don’t promote the Absolute Truth of Jesus Christ and His preeminence, their ministry will diminish over time and FATHER will judge them accordingly.

It is written by The Holy Spirit in Psalm 89:

13 Breathtaking and awesome is your power!

Astounding and unbelievable

is your might and strength when it goes on display!

14 Your glorious throne rests on a foundation

of righteousness and just verdicts.

Grace and truth are the attendants who go before you.

Truth is found in the Throne Room of FATHER and goes forth proclaiming reality.  In order to be fully mature and qualified as Sons and Daughters, we must discern Truth from deception.  The adversary who has been exposed to Truth will twist It in order to deceive man.  Jesus told us how narrow is the path and many are called but few are chosen.

In Matthew chapter 13, Jesus spoke a critical Truth in the parable of sowing into the hearts of men:

3 He taught them many things by using stories, parables that would illustrate spiritual Truths, saying:

“Consider this: There was a farmer who went out to sow seeds. 4 As he cast his seeds, some fell along the beaten path and the birds came and ate them. 5 Other seeds fell onto gravel that had no topsoil. The seeds quickly shot up, 6 but when the days grew hot, the sprouts were scorched and withered because they had insufficient roots. 7 Other seeds fell among the thorns and weeds, so when the seeds sprouted, so did the weeds, crowding out the good plants. 8 But other seeds fell on good, rich soil that kept producing a good harvest. Some yielded thirty, some sixty, and some even one hundred times as much as he planted! 9 If you’re able to understand this, then you need to respond.”

There were four types of hearts revealed by Jesus so at best only 25% of the people will receive The Word because their hearts were “good soil”.  However, of those 25%, only 1/3 will produce 100 fold of fruit in their lives.  This parable is not about money, it focuses on our fruitfulness.  Our fruitfulness is meant to testify to those who observe our fruit and want to know why we are fruitful thus allowing us to minister Jesus Christ to them.

Those in this fourth group are classified into three subgroups.  What is the difference among the groups?  It deals with revelation versus deception.  The adversary’s goal is that we remain blinded and deceived to the whole and Absolute Truth.  Jesus responded to the disciples and further spoke:

10 Then his disciples approached Jesus and asked, “Why do you always speak to people in these hard-to-understand parables?”

11 He explained, “You’ve been given the intimate experience of insight into the hidden truths and mysteries of the realm of heaven’s kingdom, but they have not. 12 For everyone who listens with an open heart will receive progressively more revelation until he has more than enough.  But those who don’t listen with an open, teachable heart, even the understanding that they think they have will be taken from them. 13 That’s why I teach the people using parables, because they think they’re looking for truth, yet because their hearts are unteachable, they never discover it. Although they will listen to me, they never fully perceive the message I speak.

We must rely on The Holy Spirit to give us the fullness of FATHER’S Absolute Truth.  We must maintain an open and teachable heart which is described as good and fertile soil.  This is why I am adamant concerning praying in The Holy Spirit on a daily basis.  Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in 1 Corinthians chapter 2:

10 But 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.

I can share with you what The Holy Spirit is saying today and found in these writings but it is more important that you hear in a superior fashion directly from The Holy Spirit WHO knows the entirety of the book written about you in Heaven (Psalm 139:16).  The Holy Spirit will guide you into ALL Truth and you must not rely on a “middleman” to guide you in a limited fashion.

It is written by The Holy Spirit in Matthew chapter 12 when the Pharisees said that Jesus cast out demons by the power of Satan, the prince of demons and He responded to their deceptive accusations:

“If I drive out demons by the power of the Spirit of God, then the end of Satan’s kingdom has come!”

30 “So join with me, for if you’re not on my side you are against me. And if you refuse to help me gather the spoils, you are making things worse. 31 This is why I warn you, for God will forgive people for every sin and blasphemy they have committed except one. There is no forgiveness for the sin of blasphemy against the Holy Spirit. 32 If anyone speaks evil of me, the Son of Man, he can be forgiven; but if anyone contemptuously speaks against the Holy Spirit, it will never be forgiven, now or ever!”

The Holy Spirit is given to us to reveal who we are in Christ and to reveal FATHER’S power and authority in us.  We were made in GOD’S image and have the full capacity to walk as mature Sons and Daughters.  What keeps us from walking in this manner and from doing greater things than Jesus?  Revelation!  The Holy Spirit is Our Source for that revelation thus we must not speak against The Holy Spirit in any way.  Jesus issued a stern warning to all who have ears to hear.

Let Our Eyes Be Opened

January 27th, 2020

You and I are to participate in ministry.  The focus must always be on Our Heavenly Father, not me, not you, and not some ministry.  Many ministries in the past have focused on themselves and their personalities.  In a most subtle way, they have taken the focus away from Jesus Christ and Our Heavenly Father.  They have viewed themselves as being set apart and important to FATHER’S plan as though HE has submitted to their life in some manner.  Be careful for you don’t know the private lives and thoughts of men.

All of the writings given to me on a daily basis arise out of simply listening and responding to The Holy Spirit.  I take no credit for the writings.  I am being ministered to as I write as though The Holy Spirit is speaking only to me.  I listen closely to what The Holy Spirit is saying and I make “course corrections” in response.

A major move of Our Heavenly Father has begun and you and I are meant to be partakers of the Divine Nature thus to participate in this move.  Some will not discern this move and only be observers.  However it is critical to seek The Holy Spirit and respond according to what THE SPIRIT is instructing you, without hesitation.  This will qualify us to fully participate in this great move.

Your past does not matter so don’t allow you mind to convince you of unworthiness due to your history.  Jesus’ Blood was and is sufficient to wipe away all sin so simply accept His sacrifice and move on.  The adversary would love to keep you focused on the past and miss out on fulfillment of your calling. 

Luke recorded by The Holy Spirit in chapter 24:

13 Later that Sunday, two of Jesus’ disciples were walking from Jerusalem to Emmaus, a journey of about seventeen miles. 14–15 They were in the midst of a discussion about all the events of the last few days when Jesus walked up and accompanied them in their journey. 16 They were unaware that it was Jesus walking alongside them, for God prevented them from recognizing him.

17–18 Jesus said to them, “You seem to be in a deep discussion about something. What are you talking about, so sad and gloomy?”

They stopped, and the one named Cleopas answered, “Haven’t you heard? Are you the only one in Jerusalem unaware of the things that have happened over the last few days?”

19 Jesus asked, “What things?”

“The things about Jesus, the Man from Nazareth,” they replied. “He was a mighty prophet of God who performed miracles and wonders. His words were powerful and he had great favor with God and the people.

The two disciples did not discern that Jesus was and is the Son of GOD.  They thought Him to be a mighty prophet instead.

25 Jesus said to them, “Why are you so thick-headed? Why do you find it so hard to believe every word the prophets have spoken? 26 Wasn’t it necessary for Christ, the Messiah, to experience all these sufferings and then afterward to enter into his glory?”

27 Then he carefully unveiled to them the revelation of himself throughout the Scripture. He started from the beginning and explained the writings of Moses and all the prophets, showing how they wrote of him and revealed the truth about himself.

28 As they approached the village, Jesus walked on ahead, telling them he was going on to a distant place. 29 They urged him to remain there and pleaded, “Stay with us. It will be dark soon.” So Jesus went with them into the village.

30 Joining them at the table for supper, he took bread and blessed it and broke it, then gave it to them. 31 All at once their eyes were opened and they realized it was Jesus! Then suddenly, in a flash, Jesus vanished from before their eyes!

32 Stunned, they looked at each other and said, “Why didn’t we recognize it was him? Didn’t our hearts burn with the flames of holy passion while we walked beside him? He unveiled for us such profound revelation from the Scriptures!”

None of the disciples truly listened to Jesus when He explained how He was going to die and be resurrected.  None of them discerned the reality even when Jesus explained it to these two disciples on the road to Emmaus.

In John chapter 4, the woman at the well did not discern who Jesus was because she asked the wrong question, how rather than who are you:

7 A woman of Samaria came to draw water. Jesus said to her, “Give Me a drink.” 8 For His disciples had gone away into the city to buy food.

9 Then the woman of Samaria said to Him, “How is it that You, being a Jew, ask a drink from me, a Samaritan woman?” For Jews have no dealings with Samaritans.

10 Jesus answered and said to her, “If you knew the gift of God, and who it is who says to you, ‘Give Me a drink,’ you would have asked Him, and He would have given you living water.”

She lacked discernment.  She asked “how”, not “who”.

Discern that Jesus is among us now and expect the supernatural to operate in your life.  As we focus on walking in Agape Love, our eyes are being opened.  The Beloved Disciple wrote by The Holy Spirit in 1 John chapter 3:

1 Behold what manner of love the Father has bestowed on us, that we should be called children of God! Therefore the world does not know us, because it did not know Him. 2 Beloved, now we are children of God; and it has not yet been revealed what we shall be, but we know that when He is revealed, we shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as He is. 3 And everyone who has this hope in Him purifies himself, just as He is pure.

These writings are intended to purify us in all areas without exception.  I suspect that the most challenging area for many has to do with money.  We are told the evil is rooted in the area of finances.  Each of us must overcome the fear associated with finances in order to be able to have our eyes opened and fully discern the presence of Our Lord Jesus Christ as well as our angels who are assigned to us.  Don’t let this one area disqualify you from being a partaker in this move.

Qualifying For The Next Level

January 26th, 2020

In Hebrews chapter 7, it is written by The Holy Spirit:

1 For this Melchizedek, king of Salem [and] priest of the Most High God, met Abraham as he returned from the slaughter of the kings and blessed him,

2 And Abraham gave to him a tenth portion of all [the spoil]. He is primarily, as his name when translated indicates, king of righteousness, and then he is also king of Salem, which means king of peace.

3 Without [record of] father or mother or ancestral line, neither with beginning of days nor ending of life, but, resembling the Son of God, he continues to be a priest without interruption and without successor.

4 Now observe and consider how great [a personage] this was to whom even Abraham the patriarch gave a tenth [the topmost or the pick of the heap] of the spoils.

5 And it is true that those descendants of Levi who are charged with the priestly office are commanded in the Law to take tithes from the people—which means, from their brethren—though these have descended from Abraham.

6 But this person who has not their Levitical ancestry received tithes from Abraham [himself] and blessed him who possessed the promises [of God].

7 Yet it is beyond all contradiction that it is the lesser person who is blessed by the greater one.

8 Furthermore, here [in the Levitical priesthood] tithes are received by men who are subject to death; while there [in the case of Melchizedek], they are received by one of whom it is testified that he lives [perpetually].

9 A person might even say that Levi [the father of the priestly tribe] himself, who received tithes (the tenth), paid tithes through Abraham,

10 For he was still in the loins of his forefather [Abraham] when Melchizedek met him [Abraham].

FATHER established the tithe as HIS portion, the firstfruit, indicating HIS ownership.  When it was recorded that Abram gave a tithe, the Truth (reality) of ownership was established for all of us.  In the above passage in Hebrews, further clarification was given of the tithe’s continued importance.

What is often missed is the connection of the tithe to communion.  In Genesis chapter 14, it is written by The Holy Spirit:

18 Then Melchizedek king of Salem brought out bread and wine; he was the priest of God Most High. 19 And he blessed him and said:

​​​“Blessed be Abram of God Most High,

​​Possessor of heaven and earth;

20 ​​And blessed be God Most High,

​​Who has delivered your enemies into your hand.”

And he gave him a tithe of all.

There was a Holy bond established between Melchizedek and Abram before Abram gave the tithe.  The wine and bread established a relationship of the greater and the lesser.  Then the lesser affirmed his position by giving the tithe of his increase due to being blessed by GOD MOST HIGH.

What happened next?  In Genesis chapter 15, it is also recorded by The Holy Spirit:

1 After these things the word of the LORD came to Abram in a vision, saying, “Do not be afraid, Abram. I am your shield, your exceedingly great reward.”

Abram qualified to be promoted to a higher relationship with Our Heavenly Father.  The result was a change in nature thus his name was changed to Abraham.  Have we qualified for the next level of relationship with Our Heavenly Father?
