Servias Ministries Blog

Thank you for your tithes and joyful offerings supporting Servias Ministries.  My wife and I deem it an honor and privilege to tithe into Servias ourselves.  We fully comprehend the importance to help impoverished children which is where most if not all of the money we receive is distributed.  Our overhead is low and we pay no salaries because FATHER provides our needs through other means.

Jesus expressed His priority for the poor in the story of the rich young ruler.  In Matthew chapter 19, Jesus spoke:

21 Jesus said to him, “If you want to be perfect, go, sell what you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in Heaven; and come, follow Me.”

22 But when the young man heard that saying, he went away sorrowful, for he had great possessions.

The young man failed to understand that giving his past wealth was an investment in his future wealth which would be much more precious and abundant.

Earlier in Matthew 19, Jesus corrected the disciples concerning children:

13 Then little children were brought to Him that He might put His hands on them and pray, but the disciples rebuked them. 14 But Jesus said, “Let the little children come to Me, and do not forbid them; for of such is the kingdom of heaven.” 15 And He laid His hands on them and departed from there.

Our assistance directed to impoverished children is a high priority as it is with Our Heavenly Father WHO directed HIS Son to speak concerning the poor and children in the above passages.

In Hebrews chapter 11, it is written by The Holy Spirit:

5 By faith Enoch was taken away so that he did not see death, “and was not found, because God had taken him”; for before he was taken he had this testimony, that he pleased GOD. 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.

Every morning I diligently seek FATHER and desire to find out what is on HIS Mind.  As I pray in The Holy Spirit, HE often provides me with people to lift up in prayer.  My desire is to be fully pleasing to HIM in every aspect of my life as I walk out each day.  I want my heart to be 100% pure and this can only be accomplished by Holy fire.

Our destiny is on the other side of the Holy fire.  Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in 1 Thessalonians chapter 5:

19 Never restrain or put out the fire of the Holy Spirit. 20 And don’t be one who scorns prophecies, 21 but be faithful to examine them by putting them to the test, and afterward hold tightly to what has proven to be right.

When we have a pure heart, we are able to discern prophecies through examination.  There are many false prophets who would redirect our focus away from the Holy fire to various and sundry events around the world.  Many of the sheep go astray because they are unable to properly examine the prophecies and put them to test.  It’s one thing to speak forth an opinion, everybody has one, but it is another thing to claim your opinion is a prophecy from the Throne Room.

Paul also wrote by The Holy Spirit in 2 Timothy chapter 1:

6 I’m writing to encourage you to fan into a flame and rekindle the fire of the spiritual gift GOD imparted to you when I laid my hands upon you. 7 For GOD will never give you the spirit of fear, but the Holy Spirit who gives you mighty power, Love, and self-control.

The current pandemic promotes fear among the population and the media promotes fear in order to gain viewers and advertising revenue.  Fear and greed go hand in hand.  When we fan the flame and rekindle the Holy fire of The Holy Spirit, we walk above fear and control “self“.  This results in us walking in Agape Love and power.  We then promote peace and certainty to those around us.

In Hebrews chapter 12, it is written by The Holy Spirit:

29 For our GOD is a Holy, devouring fire!

You and I need to run to the Holy fire, not away from it.  I want all the dross to be burned out and removed from me, not my will but HIS.  Paul wrote by THE SPIRIT in Romans chapter 12:

1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of GOD, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, Holy, acceptable to GOD, which is your reasonable service. 2 And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of GOD.

It is not unreasonable to sacrifice ourselves to the Holy, devouring fire.  Only by doing this can we truly know the perfect will of FATHER.  Men have tried to accomplish this by exhaustive study but without the Holy fire.  They have fallen short even though they have convinced many otherwise.  When we are purified by the Holy fire, we are able to “prove” what is the Absolute Truth versus man’s limited view of what they think is Truth even though they may overwhelm us with “facts” which are subject to change.

As Paul stated, “For I determined not to know anything among you except Jesus Christ and Him crucified”.  I am not interested in man’s opinions but only FATHER’S absolute Truth to guide me each and every day. 

Do I have the intimate relationship with FATHER I fully desire? 

Do I want to be known as a minister of the Gospel (what I do) or as a Son of GOD (Who I am)?  As for me, fully walking in an intimate relationship as a Son is my focus.  Without HIM, I am nothing.  The ministry is a result of who I am thus the ministry will be empowered by My Heavenly Father and HE will guide me in all areas.

We have the power and authority to follow Jesus and become imitators of Him.  There is a difference in knowing the Scriptures in this area and walking in the revelation of being an imitator of Christ.  Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Romans chapter 12:

1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service. 2 And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

The above directive requires commitment on our part.  Commitment is what is left after the emotion of the moment has passed.  People will start the year committed to lose weight but their commitment often wanes after a short time and nothing has changed.

How committed are you to daily presenting yourself to FATHER?  I do not look at it as a duty or obligation but instead it is an honor and privilege to do so.  I know that if I have become a fully mature Son, the ministry and results will follow.  In the past, most have not considered an intimate relationship and have moved directly to ministering in whatever capacity of their anointing.  Solomon did not ask for riches but instead asked for Wisdom.  Wealth came as a byproduct of walking in Wisdom from Above.

The adversary wants to distract us from this Truth.  Without the proper foundation of intimacy with FATHER, any ministry we walk in will have a shaky foundation.  A wrong foundation results in wrong results.

In Galatians chapter 2, Paul also wrote by The Holy Spirit:

20 I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me.

The two principles expressed here are: die to self and live by faith.  Jesus spoke in Luke chapter 9:

23 Jesus said to all of his followers, “If you truly desire to be my disciple, you must disown your life completely, embrace my ‘cross’ as your own, and surrender to my ways. 24 For if you choose self-sacrifice, giving up your lives for my glory, you will embark on a discovery of more and more of true life. But if you choose to keep your lives for yourselves, you will lose what you try to keep. 25 Even if you gained all the wealth and power of this world, everything it could offer you, yet lost your soul in the process, what good is that? 26 So why then are you ashamed of being my disciple? Are you ashamed of the revelation-truth I give to you?

“I, the Son of Man, will one day return in my radiant brightness, with the Holy angels and in the splendor and majesty of my Father, and I will be ashamed of all who are ashamed of me. 27 But I promise you this: there are some of you standing here right now who will not die until you have witnessed the presence and the power of God’s Kingdom realm.”

There is not one thing more important at this hour than pressing in to that level of intimacy with FATHER, Lord Jesus, and The Holy Spirit.  The Holy Spirit will lead us into the Holy of Holies where Agape Love prevails in all areas of our life.  What better foundation can we have than that of the Presence of FATHER!

In order for you and I to have a supernatural ministry toward others, we must have a supernatural and intimate relationship with THE FATHER, Son, and Holy Spirit as a foundation.  We must have an intimacy beyond what has been preached in the past.  Many had the anointing but without the foundation of intimacy and they ultimately “crashed and burned”.  In Matthew chapter 7, Jesus spoke:

21 “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. 22 Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’ 23 And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’

Someone who is intimate with Christ will not practice lawlessness.  In Acts chapter 1, Jesus had spent forty days preparing the disciples to have a relationship with The Holy Spirit.  He spoke:

8  “But you shall receive power when (after) the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.”

The Beloved Disciple wrote by The Holy Spirit in John chapter 1:

12 But as many as received Him, to them He gave the authority to become Sons of GOD, to those who believe in HIS Name

We must understand our sonship through Jesus Christ.  This is our state of who we are versus what we do.  We are to be imitators of GOD as Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Ephesians chapter 5:

1   Be imitators of God in everything you do, for then you will represent your Father as his beloved sons and daughters.

Our intimate relationship with FATHER will result in empowerment to properly represent HIM to the world.  Signs and wonders shall follow us as we minister in this fallen world.

Jesus responded to the devil and He spoke in Matthew chapter 4:

4 But He answered and said, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.’ ”

When we “imitate” Christ, we want to fully and complete walk according to every Word that proceeds from FATHER, without exception.  If we couldn’t do that, Jesus would not have expressed it when He responded to the devil.  We have the sufficiency in Christ to walk as He walked or else we would not be able to do greater works.  In Matthew chapter 28, Jesus spoke:

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

The word “mathēteuō” means to become a student and walk with the teacher resulting in you thinking like the teacher, talking like the teacher, and acting like the teacher.  Only those with an intimate relationship will walk in this fruitful walk.  You and I have been Divinely appointed to walk in this manner.  This is what it means to be under the Lordship of Jesus Christ.

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in 1 Corinthians chapter 11:

1 Imitate me, just as I also imitate Christ.

The Lordship of Jesus Christ must be at the forefront of our daily lives.  If we think like Jesus, talk like Jesus, and act like Jesus, we will have a relationship with FATHER like Jesus resulting in a ministry like Jesus.

Finally, as Hebrews chapter 12 states:

1 Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, 2 looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.

From beginning to end, let us imitate Jesus Christ in every aspect of our being.

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in 2 Corinthians chapter 6:

11 O Corinthians! We have spoken openly to you, our heart is wide open. 12 You are not restricted by us, but you are restricted by your own affections. 13 Now in return for the same (I speak as to children), you also be open.

14 Do not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers. For what fellowship has righteousness with lawlessness? And what communion has light with darkness? 15 And what accord has Christ with Belial? Or what part has a believer with an unbeliever? 16 And what agreement has the temple of God with idols? For you are the temple of the living God. As God has said:​

​​“I will dwell in them

​​And walk among them.

​​I will be their God,

​​And they shall be My people.”​

17 Therefore​

​​“Come out from among them

​​And be separate, says the Lord.

​​Do not touch what is unclean,

​​And I will receive you.”

18 ​​“I will be a Father to you,

​​And you shall be My sons and daughters,

​​Says the LORD Almighty.”

The adversary wants to keep you and I controlled by our mind and/or our body.  If he can accomplish this, we will be unable to walk in the power and authority given to us by Our Lord Jesus Christ.

What are the results if the adversary is successful?  Fear, uncertainty, and doubt.  This brings on anxiety of helplessness which in turns promotes deeper fear until you cannot function in a productive fashion.  You seek out entertainment as a form of escape from the perception of reality projected in your mind and body.  Your body responds by a lowered immune system and you become susceptible to sickness and disease.

When we constantly renew our minds with the Absolute Truth of FATHER’S Word, we reverse what the adversary done in our lives.  The battle is in our minds and our bodies respond accordingly.  We must not allow the “talking heads” on TV to convince us that we need to fear what is going on around us.  They promote doubt resulting in uncertainty about the future.  Are they able to see your future or does FATHER already know your future that HE wrote in your book in Heaven?  Out of Agape Love, HE gives you the choice of which path to take.

I have experienced near death five times in my life yet here I am.  Each time FATHER delivered me without man’s assistance so no one can take credit for my deliverance from death.  Am I special?  No more than you!  We all have a Divine plan written about us and we are meant to fulfill that plan but we must not allow the adversary and his minions to divert us from our Divine destiny.

Our minds want to cling to relationships developed in the past but we must not allow our emotions to dictate who we fellowship with if they are full of unbelief.  It took Moses forty years of separation in the wilderness to get “Egypt” out of him in order to prepare him to deliver the children of Israel.  With the Blood of Jesus Christ, we do not need such a lengthy wilderness adventure. 

There is power in The Blood and we need to honor and reverence The Blood.  We are meant to walk and be Holy so that we can reside in the “Holy of Holies”.  This will allow us to approach FATHER and walk on the fiery sapphire stone as we approach HIS Glory.  The adversary was removed from Heaven and wants us to be disqualified as he is.  Do not let the noise of the world thwart your ascension into the Heavenly realm.

It is written by The Holy Spirit in Ephesians 1:

17  I pray that the Father of glory, the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, would impart to you the riches of the Spirit of wisdom and the Spirit of revelation to know HIM through your deepening intimacy with HIM.

It is written by The Holy Spirit in 2nd Peter 3:

18  But continue to grow and increase in God’s grace and intimacy with our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. May He receive all the glory both now and until the day eternity begins. Amen!

It is written by The Holy Spirit in 1st John 2:

5   But the Love of GOD will be perfected within the one who obeys God’s Word. We can be sure that we’ve truly come to live in intimacy with GOD

The Beloved Disciple wrote by The Holy Spirit in The Revelation of Jesus Christ, chapter 2:

7 “He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says

11 “He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says

17 “He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says

29 “He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says

Chapter 3:

6 “He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says

13 “He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says

22 “He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says

When we pursue Agape Love, our intimacy with FATHER, Our Lord Jesus, and The Holy Spirit grows to the point where we have no problem in hearing what the Spirit is saying.  What could be more important right now?

Spiritual warfare occurs when GOD’S Word in your life is being challenged by the adversary.  The adversary’s intention is to discredit you.  If you can’t dispute Truth then you go after the witness and discredit his or her character. 

The adversary wants to discourage you and me from fully walking as Sons and Daughters.  He will steal, kill, and destroy those who allow themselves to be manipulated into believing his lies.  GOD’S Word activates.

Angels are activated because they hearken unto the Voice of THE LORD as it is written in Psalm 103:

20  Bless the LORD, ye his angels, that excel in strength, that do his commandments, hearkening unto the voice of HIS Word.

This is why we must speak forth The Word in faith and expect the angels to be dispatched.  They do what they hear if it lines up with The Word.

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in 2 Corinthians chapter 10:

4 For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, 5 casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ

When your perception is wrong, you will be hindered from being healed.  Jesus was hindered when He went to His hometown of Nazareth.  It is recorded by The Holy Spirit in Matthew chapter 13:

53 Now it came to pass, when Jesus had finished these parables, that He departed from there. 54 When He had come to His own country, He taught them in their synagogue, so that they were astonished and said, “Where did this Man get this wisdom and these mighty works? 55 Is this not the carpenter’s son? Is not His mother called Mary? And His brothers James, Joses, Simon, and Judas? 56 And His sisters, are they not all with us? Where then did this Man get all these things?” 57 So they were offended at Him.

But Jesus said to them, “A prophet is not without honor except in his own country and in his own house.” 58 Now He did not do many mighty works there because of their unbelief.

The people of Nazareth could not get past their own experience of seeing Jesus prior to the activation of His calling.  They were living in the past and could not embrace the reality of the present.  They saw the carpenter’s son and not the Son of Man.  Revelation is meant to shift us out of the past and embrace the Truth.  Satan attempts to deceive us by promoting those strongholds in our minds that oppose The Word.  The argument “I am not worthy” is frequently used but FATHER has blotted out our past when we repent.  We must accept that Truth and move on.

As it is written through Paul by The Holy Spirit in 2 Corinthians chapter 5:

17 Now, if anyone is enfolded into Christ, he has become an entirely new creation. All that is related to the old order has vanished. Behold, everything is fresh and new. 18 And God has made all things new, and reconciled us to HIMSELF, and given us the ministry of reconciling others to God. 19 In other words, it was through the Anointed One that God was shepherding the world, not even keeping records of their transgressions, and he has entrusted to us the ministry of opening the door of reconciliation to God

The adversary wants us to remain separated and in division with others.  He knows that if we become unified with Christ and each other, then the Kingdom on earth has arrived.  This is why the revelation of Agape Love is so critical in this hour.  Don’t let hindrances derail your pursuit to full maturity.

Each of us has a pathway of light which is our destiny and FATHER will light that path for us.  In Psalm 16, The Holy Spirit reveals to us:

11 ​​You will show me the path of life;​​

In Your presence is fullness of joy;​​

At Your right hand are pleasures forevermore.

When we pursue HIS Word which is filled with power and authority to carry out HIS Divine Intent in our lives, revelation comes forth which will guide us in all of our affairs.  The more aligned we are with The Word, the less detours are taken away from that straight and narrow path.  There is only one path meant to lead us into all Truth surrounding our destiny.

It is written by The Holy Spirit in Psalm 119:

105 ​​Your word is a lamp to my feet

​​And a light to my path.

106 ​​I have sworn and confirmed

​​That I will keep Your righteous judgments.

And in Psalm 18:

28 ​​For You will light my lamp;

​​The LORD my God will enlighten my darkness.

29 ​​For by You I can run against a troop,

​​By my God I can leap over a wall.

30 ​​As for God, His way is perfect;

​​The word of the LORD is proven;

​​He is a shield to all who trust in Him.

​35 ​​You have also given me the shield of Your salvation;

​​Your right hand has held me up,

​​Your gentleness has made me great.

36 ​​You enlarged my path under me,

​​So my feet did not slip.

The supernatural is not always the spectacular.  I don’t have to be knocked down on my face for FATHER to heal me.  I am fully satisfied to come to the realization that the sickness or disease no longer resides in my body.

Our Loving FATHER is not asking us to “pay” for our healing.  Our words and actions are meant to affirm the better Covenant as we perceive the lighted path FATHER has set before each of us.  Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Ephesians chapter 1:

17 I pray that THE FATHER of glory, the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, would impart to you the riches of the Spirit of wisdom and the Spirit of revelation to know Him through your deepening intimacy with him.

18 I pray that the light of God will illuminate the eyes of your imagination, flooding you with light, until you experience the full revelation of the hope of his calling—that is, the wealth of God’s glorious inheritances that he finds in us, his holy ones!

19 I pray that you will continually experience the immeasurable greatness of GOD’S power made available to you through faith. Then your lives will be an advertisement of this immense power as it works through you! This is the mighty power 20 that was released when GOD raised Christ from the dead and exalted Him to the place of highest honor and supreme authority in the Heavenly realm!

My soul allows Truth to permeate my body thus healing comes forth.  This is why our soul must be transformed by renewing our mind.  The body will respond to whatever is predominant in the soul.  Our actions will reflect the maturing of our mind.

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Galatians chapter 3:

14 Jesus, our Messiah, was cursed in our place and in so doing, dissolved the curse from our lives, so that all the blessings of Abraham can be poured out upon even non-Jewish believers. And now God gives us the promise of the wonderful Holy Spirit who lives within us when we believe in him.

And The Holy Spirit recorded in Proverbs chapter 4:

20 Listen carefully, my dear child, to everything that I teach you,

and pay attention to all that I have to say.

21 Fill your thoughts with my words

until they penetrate deep into your spirit.

22 Then, as you unwrap my words,

they will impart true life and radiant health

into the very core of your being.

Our path of destiny is lit with the glorious Word and FATHER desires each of us to stay on that path of life so that we will walk fully in the revelation of Love and allow that Love to minister to all of mankind.  This is what life is all about.

We have a better Covenant.  It is written by The Holy Spirit in Hebrews chapter 8:

8 Now this is the crowning point of what we are saying: We have a magnificent King-Priest who ministers for us at the right hand of God. He is enthroned with honor next to the throne of the Majesty on high. 2 He serves in the holy sanctuary in the true heavenly tabernacle set up by God, and not by men. 3 Since every high priest is appointed to offer both gifts and sacrifices, so the Messiah also had to bring some sacrifice. 4 But since he didn’t qualify to be an earthly priest, and there are already priests who offer sacrifices prescribed by the law, he offered in heaven a perfect sacrifice.

5 The priests on earth serve in a temple that is but a copy modeled after the heavenly sanctuary; a shadow of the reality. For when Moses began to construct the tabernacle God warned him and said,

“You must precisely follow the pattern I revealed to you on Mt. Sinai.”

6 But now Jesus the Messiah has accepted a priestly ministry which far surpasses theirs, since He is the catalyst of a better covenant which contains far more wonderful promises! 7 For if that first covenant had been faultless no one would have needed a second one to replace it.

The first thing each morning, we should engage the Spirit realm.  We must discipline our body lest we become disqualified to enter into HIS Presence.

The Holy Spirit enforces blessings over us thus we are to increase, not diminish.  We need to be joyful “receivers” and expect FATHER’S blessings to come forth.

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Philippians chapter 4:

14 Nevertheless you have done well that you shared in my distress. 15 Now you Philippians know also that in the beginning of the gospel, when I departed from Macedonia, no church shared with me concerning giving and receiving but you only. 16 For even in Thessalonica you sent aid once and again for my necessities. 17 Not that I seek the gift, but I seek the fruit that abounds to your account. 18 Indeed I have all and abound. I am full, having received from Epaphroditus the things sent from you, a sweet-smelling aroma, an acceptable sacrifice, well pleasing to God. 19 And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus. 20 Now to our God and Father be glory forever and ever. Amen.

FATHER is glorified when HE answers our prayers and we see the manifested results.  I give FATHER the glory and honor for meeting my family’s needs.

We need to release our past.  What is hindering our ability to receive from FATHER?  As we listen to the impulses of The Holy Spirit and not our flesh, our expectation to receive will dramatically increase.  We need to bring our minds into captivity in this area and not be moved by our current circumstances.  Our past does not dictate our future.

We have written much about tithing and cheerful giving.  That Truth is only the first half of Heavenly flow through us.  The Holy Spirit recorded the following in Deuteronomy chapter 28:

1 “Now it shall come to pass, if you diligently obey the voice of the LORD your God, to observe carefully all His commandments which I command you today, that the LORD your God will set you high above all nations of the earth. 2 And all these blessings shall come upon you and overtake you, because you obey the voice of the LORD your God:”

Anyone reading the blessings found in this chapter would be thrilled in receiving such rewards for obedience.  However, we have a better Covenant than this.  The New Covenant did not omit the blessings and result in an inferior covenant.  FATHER is the same as when HE originated the blessings of Deuteronomy chapter 28. 

The adversary constantly promotes scarcity, sin, and death to those who are willing to listen.  If scarcity doesn’t work then he promotes greed, also known as the “love of money”.  Do you really think FATHER expects us to spread the Gospel in tattered clothes and warn out shoes?

We need to embrace ALL aspects of our Covenant, not simply those areas requiring little faith.  Do not become complacent in moving forward in The Holy Spirit.  We need to hear and respond to The Holy Spirit in all areas so that we will walk in every aspect of our Covenant with FATHER sealed by The Blood of Our Lord Jesus Christ.  Otherwise, we have not fully honored His Blood!
