Great Faith

December 27th, 2019

It is written by The Holy Spirit in Matthew chapter 8:

5 Now when Jesus had entered Capernaum, a centurion came to Him, pleading with Him, 6 saying, “Lord, my servant is lying at home paralyzed, dreadfully tormented.”

7 And Jesus said to him, “I will come and heal him.”

8 The centurion answered and said, “Lord, I am not worthy that You should come under my roof. But only speak a word, and my servant will be healed. 9 For I also am a man under authority, having soldiers under me. And I say to this one, ‘Go,’ and he goes; and to another, ‘Come,’ and he comes; and to my servant, ‘Do this,’ and he does it.”

10 When Jesus heard it, He marveled, and said to those who followed, “Assuredly, I say to you, I have not found such great faith, not even in Israel! 11 And I say to you that many will come from east and west, and sit down with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven. 12 But the sons of the kingdom will be cast out into outer darkness. There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.” 13 Then Jesus said to the centurion, “Go your way; and as you have believed, so let it be done for you.” And his servant was healed that same hour.

Faith and authority are intricately connected together and the highest authority is Our Heavenly Father.  When we understand authority and its trust toward those above you whom you report to, your faith will become great.

Jesus “reported” to FATHER as He revealed in when He spoke in John chapter 14:

7 “If you had known Me, you would have known My Father also; and from now on you know Him and have seen Him.”

8 Philip said to Him, “Lord, show us the Father, and it is sufficient for us.”

9 Jesus said to him, “Have I been with you so long, and yet you have not known Me, Philip? He who has seen Me has seen the Father; so how can you say, ‘Show us the Father’? 10 Do you not believe that I am in the Father, and the Father in Me? The words that I speak to you I do not speak on My own authority; but the Father who dwells in Me does the works. 11 Believe Me that I am in the Father and the Father in Me, or else believe Me for the sake of the works themselves.

Those who walk in great faith are those who have placed their entire trust in Our Heavenly Father and fully rely on HIM in their daily affairs.  They do not act as independent, self-interested people who seek out personal benefits when it satisfies their souls, but they purpose to walk according to FATHER’S perfect plan, will, and purpose on a daily basis.

How do I learn to walk in such a manner?  Jesus spoke in Matthew chapter 11:

27 “All things have been delivered to Me by My Father, and no one knows the Son except the Father. Nor does anyone know the Father except the Son, and the one to whom the Son wills to reveal Him. 28 Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 29 Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.”

When I place my full trust by yoking up with Jesus, He will lead me and guide me into all Truth resulting in me finding rest for my soul.  I too will become gentle and lowly in heart thus I will have no problem in taking orders from The Holy Spirit Who is now the authority in my life.  As we understand this Truth, we can truly embrace what Wisdom spoke in Proverbs chapter 3:

5 ​​Trust in the LORD with all your heart,

​​And lean not on your own understanding;

6 ​​In all your ways acknowledge Him,

​​And He shall direct your paths.

​7 ​​Do not be wise in your own eyes;

​​Fear the LORD and depart from evil.

8 ​​It will be health to your flesh,

​​And strength to your bones.

9 ​​Honor the LORD with your possessions,

​​And with the firstfruits of all your increase;

10 ​​So your barns will be filled with plenty,

​​And your vats will overflow with new wine.

When you fully submit to FATHER’S authority and respond to HIS Words, you will walk in great faith as well.

Our Demonstration

December 24th, 2019

The Holy Spirit recorded in Psalm 37:

5 Give GOD the right to direct your life,

and as you trust him along the way

you’ll find he pulled it off perfectly!

6 HE will appear as your righteousness,

as sure as the dawning of a new day.

He will manifest as your justice,

as sure and strong as the noonday sun.  TPT

In order for The Word to be alive in us, we are not only to “hear” The Word but we must understand it.  This is the key to The Word being alive in us.  To understand means that we know the Divine Intent of what is spoken.  In order to fully know Divine Intent, we must embrace Agape Love, the primary source of Divine Intent.

Deception is when your perception is wrong.  Isn’t this what caused Eve to eat the fruit in the Garden?  Her perception of FATHER’S Word was wrong even though she had no previous history of anything but absolute Truth from HIM.  Deception in its purest form is when a person doesn’t realize he or she is being deceived.  This is why you and I should go before FATHER daily lest we be deceived in some area beyond our perception.

FATHER is righteous and HIS righteousness is the cornerstone by which the entire universe is measured against.  There has to be a point of absolute Truth and purity by which all existence is referenced and compared.  Who else could establish this point of reference other than THE CREATOR?  Is there anyone better to align ourselves with than THE CREATOR by which all of creation depends?  Who better to pattern my life around than FATHER’S Son?  In order to pattern our lives around Jesus, we must understand Agape Love.  Jesus expressed the benefits of Loving Him and FATHER for THEY will make their dwelling place in us.

In John chapter 14, Jesus spoke:

23 Jesus replied, “Loving me empowers you to obey my word. And my Father will love you so deeply that we will come to you and make you our dwelling place. 24 But those who don’t love me will not obey my words. The Father did not send me to speak my own revelation, but the words of my Father. 25 I am telling you this while I am still with you. 26 But when the Father sends the Spirit of Holiness, the One like me who sets you free, He will teach you all things in my name. And he will inspire you to remember every word that I’ve told you.

In comparison, Jesus further stated in John chapter 15:

5 “I am the sprouting vine and you’re my branches. As you live in union with me as your source, fruitfulness will stream from within you—but when you live separated from me you are powerless. 6 If a person is separated from me, he is discarded; such branches are gathered up and thrown into the fire to be burned. 7 But if you live in life-union with me and if my words live powerfully within you—then you can ask whatever you desire and it will be done. 8 When your lives bear abundant fruit, you demonstrate that you are my mature disciples who glorify my Father!

What a comparison!  There should be no question of the importance of being in union with Our Lord Jesus Christ.  He told us in chapter 14 that The Holy Spirit would inspire us to remember every Word He has spoken to us thus Jesus intends for His Words to live powerfully within us.

With Jesus, I can do all things whereas without Him, I can do nothing of consequence because I am powerless.  When I have matured IN HIM, I will produce abundant fruit that confirms my maturity to all.  To demonstrate means to clearly show the existence or truth of (something) by giving proof or evidence.  Let us show the world our proof of being Sons and Daughters of Our Heavenly Father by demonstrating HIS Agape Love in all areas of our life.

The Shift

December 23rd, 2019

What does it mean to perceive?  It is the ability to see, hear, or become aware of something, to realize or understand, to become conscious of.  These writings are given to me by The Holy Spirit virtually every day for our benefit.  As you and I read these writings, our perception shifts toward Heaven and we begin to perceive the Agape Love in FATHER’S Heart for us.  We slowly but surely begin to reflect HIS character in what we say and do.  As our perception shifts, our priorities shift in response.

The Holy Spirit wrote in Psalm 36:

5 But you, O Lord, your mercy-seat love is limitless,

reaching higher than the highest heavens.

Your great faithfulness is infinite,

stretching over the whole earth.

FATHER is 100% faithful to HIS Word and we can count on that reality once we perceive it to be true.  It is my deepest desire to fully take on FATHER’S character and express HIS Agape Love to all I encounter… without exception.  In order to walk in this manner, I must be faithful to yield to The Holy Spirit.  When I pray in Tongues, I actively yield to FATHER and submit my being to HIS Most Holy Spirit.  We need to realize this when we pray.

Our perception must be elevated if we are to be fully effective in our individual callings.  We must be able to see above the dark clouds covering this broken world and know that FATHER has a plan to bring forth light into this world.  Life is not about surviving this world but overcoming and overthrowing this broken world.

If needed, FATHER can change things instantly on your behalf.  In Numbers chapter 23, it is written by The Holy Spirit:

19 ​​“God is not a man, that He should lie,

​​Nor a son of man, that He should repent.

​​Has He said, and will He not do?

​​Or has He spoken, and will He not make it good?”

Whatever FATHER says, you can count on it.  We must not allow unbelief to enter in and make HIS Word ineffective in our life.  Each of us has the option to accept or reject HIS Word in our life because Love does not force Its will on us.  As our perception shifts to full belief IN HIM and HIS WAYS and ACTS, HIS Word becomes effective on our behalf.  HIS Word is full of power and authority and supersedes all other authority on earth… no exceptions.

Jesus spoke in Matthew chapter 8:

5 When Jesus entered the village of Capernaum, a captain in the Roman army approached him, asking for a miracle. 6 “Lord,” he said, “I have a son who is lying in my home, paralyzed and suffering terribly.”

7 Jesus responded, “I will go with you and heal him.”

8–9 But the Roman officer interjected, “Lord, who am I to have you come into my house? I understand your authority, for I too am a man who walks under authority and have authority over soldiers who serve under me. I can tell one to go and he’ll go, and another to come and he’ll come. I order my servants and they’ll do whatever I ask. So I know that all you need to do is to stand here and command healing over my son and he will be instantly healed.”

10 Jesus was astonished when he heard this and said to those who were following him, “He has greater faith than anyone I’ve encountered in Israel!”

Great faith comes when your perception of FATHER’S superior authority is realized.  At some point, a shift will occur in you and your faith will increase to a higher level.  When will this occur?  It is unique to each of us but as we press in, be assured that it will occur.  Our eyes will open wider and we will be able to see without obstruction.  We will be able to perceive the spirit realm more clearly and not be moved by the chaos around us.  The Holy Spirit will guide us into all Truth in every situation we encounter.

In 1 John 3, the Beloved Disciple wrote by The Holy Spirit, “The reason the Son of God was revealed was to undo and destroy the works of the devil.”  As each of us perceives the shift occurring in us, we will embrace this reason for our existence on earth at this time.  We will access the same power and authority to drive out spirits in Jesus’ Name (Mark 3:15).  Jesus expressed in John 10:

9 I am the Gateway. To enter through me is to experience life, freedom, and satisfaction. 10 A thief has only one thing in mind—he wants to steal, slaughter, and destroy. But I have come to give you everything in abundance, more than you expect—life in its fullness until you overflow!

Let His life overflow in you and me!

Our Words

December 22nd, 2019

The door of your promotion is the very thing you have had to overcome.  As we walk in the fullness as partakers of His Divine Nature, overcoming obstacles will not be an issue to us any longer.  Whatever the adversary sets before us, we deal with it according to FATHER’S Word thus destroying the works of the devil, and we do it with understanding and Wisdom.

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Ephesians chapter 1:

16 I do not cease to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers: 17 that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him, 18 the eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that you may know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints, 19 and what is the exceeding greatness of His power toward us who believe, according to the working of His mighty power 20 which He worked in Christ when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly places, 21 far above all principality and power and might and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age but also in that which is to come.

We must watch over our words and we should be speaking our intention and our destiny rather than idle words or words which have the effect of negating our purpose.  Our words should line up with FATHER’S Word rather than those words of compromise.  How can we be synchronized with FATHER’S Word if our words are not in full agreement with HIM?

Expressing words based on observation of a temporary situation is often unproductive and tends to dilute our faith.  The physical is subject to change because of its temporary nature whereas FATHER’S Word does not change.

In the past, I have been guilty of being a jokester with the intent of being witty.  That was a soulish attempt to bring attention to me and feed my “self”.  I have had to repent of all the idle words and now I focus on what comes out of my mouth.  I would rather minister healing than laughter to those with whom I come into contact.  It is all about changing peoples’ lives and manifesting the Goodness of Our Heavenly Father.

Words started creation and words cause everything to operate.  Let us no longer speak words which negatively impact life-giving Words which represent FATHER’S Divine Intent.  Our words are intended to line up with our purpose.

Our souls need to be healed which will result in our bodies being healed.  When I release my soul to My Lord Jesus Christ, healing ensues.  When I pray in Tongues, a Spiritual transaction occurs, moving from the perfect Spiritual realm to the physical realm.  My soul and body benefit from the Spiritual entering into my soul and body.  Healing and Restoration begin taking place and I move toward maturity in all three areas of my life.  Words of Love are restorative by nature.

Remember, there are no idle words when praying in Tongues.  FATHER’S healing power moves from one realm to the other and I am one of the beneficiaries of this transaction.  There is no interference from man’s doctrines, opinions, or limited knowledge.  Words of rejection or curses have no place in this transaction and it breaks the bonds of those words which have restrained us in the past from fulfilling our calling.

The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of Truth as Jesus spoke in John 14:17.  Would you rather speak forth the full Truth or observable facts?  Facts can be misinterpreted but the Truth stands on Its own.

Our Rewards

December 21st, 2019

You are rewarded for what you did with what you were given.  Be satisfied with your opportunities and make the most of them.  A faithful steward focuses on what he or she has been given to oversee rather than longing for someone else’s calling.  You don’t need to live up to someone else’s expectations, simply focus on who FATHER made you to be.  HE has set aside full provision for your calling but you have to act based on that calling.  If you sit around and do nothing, your reward will be “nothing”.  As Jesus spoke in Matthew chapter 25:

21 His lord said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant; you were faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things. Enter into the joy of your lord.’

We must watch our words for we were made in the image of GOD.  Jesus spoke in Matthew chapter 12:

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.”

Each of us needs to judge our own words and see if there is something amiss in our hearts.  If our words are not promoting Love and kindness, correction is necessary for we are not yet fully walking in THE SPIRIT and have not fully embraced our identity given to us before we were formed in the womb.  We have an identity crisis if we lack understanding of FATHER’S Love for us and are not walking in HIS Love.  If that is the case, we must change and align ourselves in the purity of HIS Intent.  This is done in the spiritual realm first and then it manifests in the physical realm.

Who is the master of the spirit realm?  The Holy Spirit WHO dwells inside of you and me.  I must rely fully on The Holy Spirit to keep me on track to walk according to FATHER’S perfect plan, will, and purpose for my life.  As I pursue this walk daily, I change.  The world is sifted out of me and my priorities fully align with FATHER’S priorities.

When you and I yield to The Holy Spirit then we enter into unity with each other.  This unity is what is needed to fulfill FATHER’S Divine Intent to bring the Kingdom to earth.

We must get understanding when we hear The Word.  Hearing the Word without understanding will not activate the Word in our lives.  The Word has many facets of understanding attached to It and I would suggest there are at least seven levels of understanding within each passage we study.  I know there are more levels than just the surface understanding so let us pursue a full understanding by dwelling on FATHER’S Word continually.  Don’t discard the initial understanding when you pursue a deeper understanding for each level is applicable to our lives.

We need to seek revelation, not just information.  Revelation is what changes me whereas information often simply feeds my soul.  The soul will take information and attempt to promote superiority over others who do not have the information we possess.  When we receive revelation from FATHER, it is intended to be used under the canopy of Agape Love and help others ascend to a higher level.

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Philippians chapter 3:

7 Yet all of the accomplishments that I once took credit for, I’ve now forsaken them and I regard it all as nothing compared to the delight of experiencing Jesus Christ as my Lord! 8 To truly know him meant letting go of everything from my past and throwing all my boasting on the garbage heap. It’s all like a pile of manure to me now, so that I may be enriched in the reality of knowing Jesus Christ and embrace him as Lord in all of his greatness.

9 My passion is to be consumed with him and not clinging to my own “righteousness” based in keeping the written Law. My “righteousness” will be his, based on the faithfulness of Jesus Christ—the very righteousness that comes from God. 10 And I continually long to know the wonders of Jesus more fully and to experience the overflowing power of his resurrection working in me. I will be one with him in his sufferings and I will be one with him in his death. 11 Only then will I be able to experience complete oneness with him in his resurrection from the realm of death.

Let us receive the overflowing power of resurrection in our bodies and the oneness with Him will be realized. Our rewards will follow.

Take Dominion

December 20th, 2019

Glory and power are revealed in my weakness because it is quite clear that when success comes in the areas of in my weakness, I claim no success due to my own ability.  Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in 2 Corinthians chapter 12:

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.

The soulish man wants to cover up all his weaknesses because of pride.  My weaknesses become a non-issue when I walk according to the leading of The Holy Spirit and I no longer care about hiding a weakness.  Instead, I glorify My Heavenly Father as HIS power expresses Itself through my weaknesses.

We are the authority on this earth and it is up to each of us to not relinquish any authority or dominion to the devil.  Our minds and our bodies are the areas where the devil and his demons seek to influence and take dominion if allowed.  Only by ignorance, blindness, and/or willful submission are those influences allowed to take hold in our lives.

In Matthew chapter 11, Jesus spoke:

11 “For I tell you the truth, throughout history there has never been a man who surpasses John the Baptizer. Yet the least of those who now experience heaven’s kingdom realm will become even greater than he. 12 From the moment John stepped onto the scene until now, the realm of heaven’s kingdom is bursting forth, and passionate people have taken hold of its power. 13 For all the prophets and the Torah prophesied until John appeared. 14 If you can receive this truth, John is the Elijah who was destined to come. 15 So listen and understand what I’m telling you.”

What did Jesus just reveal to you and me?  The least of us is greater than John The Baptist for we have been given the mandate to walk and be fully led by The Holy Spirit with power and authority over the evil one.  Until Jesus went to the cross, that power and authority had not been fully realized and manifested on earth.  The prophets of old pointed to the time Jesus was referencing.  Think about Jesus’ Words here.  He intends for us to rise up and take dominion over the powers of darkness.

Men’s doctrines (influenced by the evil one) have been taught to us in order to suppress our understanding of our call to take dominion over the devil.  We have been told that we are unworthy and many words have been spoken over us to instill rejection and insufficiency in us.  No longer accept and allow those words to have power over you.  You are a child of The Most High GOD and you have been given dominion if you will only receive it and walk in it.

Whose words are you going to abide by?  Man or Our Heavenly Father?  The evil one would have you stay in a cycle of rejection and insufficiency until the day you die.  He does not want you to walk in the Truth of The Gospel because once you do, he no longer has power over you.  Deception and manipulation are his primary weapons to keep us at bay. Reject any words that do not line up with FATHER’S Word!

Now is the time for us to commit ourselves to walk in the full power of The Holy Spirit, overthrow the devil, and take back the “land” FATHER has ordained for us to seize and establish on behalf of HIS Kingdom.  The prophets spoke of this time so let us not delay in fulfilling our purpose.  Are you willing to receive this Truth?

Walking In Synchronicity

December 19th, 2019

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.

​10 ​​“For as the rain comes down, and the snow from heaven,

​​And do not return there,

​​But water the earth,

​​And make it bring forth and bud,

​​That it may give seed to the sower

​​And bread to the eater,

11 ​​So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth;

​​It shall not return to Me void,

​​But it shall accomplish what I please,

​​And it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it.

There are no “maybe’s” in Heaven and when FATHER speaks, events happen.  HIS Word prospers every single time HE speaks, without exception.  The earth, the stars, the planets, and all of creation testify of this Truth yet men are blinded by their own limited views and mediocre logic.  I am amazed that people cling to so-called experts who trust in man’s education for their views.  I prefer revelation from Above myself.

Who can manage the increasing complexity being promoted on earth?  Is there a group of individuals who are able to oversee the ever-growing complexity being promoted by the world?  There answer is a resounding “NO”.  The latest catch phrase is “It works until it doesn’t!”

A wise man will align himself with someone who is much wiser and more capable than himself.  Who qualifies for such an alignment?  Only Our Heavenly Father!  However, HE has given us a free will to choose our path and meander through life subjecting ourselves to the inevitable storms which we will surely face.

As for me and my house, we have chosen to walk according to FATHER’S higher ways.  Were the storms eliminated?  No, however we have been sustained through the storms and our house withstood the challenges that came against it.

Unity provides strength to weather any storm that arises in your life.  Unity with FATHER provides total assurance that we will overcome all obstacles we face.  Being led by The Holy Spirit will reduce adversity that many face today for The Holy Spirit will navigate us around many of the potential obstacles placed in our path.

I am pursuing synchronicity with The Holy Spirit and I recommend you do the same.  When you synchronize your life by being led by The Holy Spirit, you operate in perfect timing with appropriate actions backed by power and authority from Heaven.  When we walk in such a manner, we glorify FATHER on earth just as Jesus did.  We walk in Love perfected.

If there is one thing I know, I must change.  The soulish man wants to challenge that statement because change forces the soul to become a servant to my spirit.  In order to be led by The Holy Spirit, we must not allow our soul to challenge the directives given by The Holy Spirit.  The sooner we respond to The Holy Spirit’s directives, the sooner we see Heaven’s Intent come forth in our walk.  The blessings are immense.

When we walk in synchronization with Heaven, our past priorities no longer matter.  We look back and say “What was I thinking?”  The old man had no idea of what was of lasting importance.  Thankfully, FATHER corrected our thinking so that we could become relevant to Heaven’s directives.

How long does it take one to be fully led by The Holy Spirit?  It really doesn’t matter.  Simply focus your attention each day on pursuing a more consistent walk with FATHER and HE will empower you toward the fullness of your purpose.  The fruit of THE SPIRIT will bring forth the joy knowing you are truly being led by HIS higher ways.

Living by the Power of the Holy Spirit

December 18th, 2019

The Holy Spirit wrote the following specifically to you.  Read it slowly and allow these Words to permeate your soul:

The case is closed. There remains no accusing voice of condemnation against those who are joined in life-union with Jesus, the Anointed One. For the “law” of the Spirit of life flowing through the anointing of Jesus has liberated us from the “law” of sin and death. For GOD achieved what the law was unable to accomplish, because the law was limited by the weakness of human nature.

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

Those who are motivated by the flesh only pursue what benefits themselves. But those who live by the impulses of the Holy Spirit are motivated to pursue spiritual realities, for the mind-set of the flesh is death, but the mind-set controlled by the Spirit finds life and peace.

In fact, the mind-set focused on the flesh fights GOD’s plan and refuses to submit to HIS direction, because it cannot! For no matter how hard they try, GOD finds no pleasure with those who are controlled by the flesh. But when the Spirit of Christ empowers your life, you are not dominated by the flesh but by the Spirit. And if you are not joined to the Spirit of the Anointed One, you are not of Him.

Now Christ lives His life in you! And even though your body may be dead because of the effects of sin, His life-giving Spirit imparts life to you because you are fully accepted by GOD. Yes, GOD raised Jesus to life! And since GOD’s Spirit of Resurrection lives in you, he will also raise your dying body to life by the same Spirit that breathes life into you!

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

Sons and Daughters are destined for Glory.  The mature children of GOD are those who are moved by the impulses of the Holy Spirit. And you did not receive the “spirit of religious duty,” leading you back into the fear of never being good enough. But you have received the “Spirit of full acceptance,” enfolding you into the family of GOD. And you will never feel orphaned, for as he rises up within us, our spirits join him in saying the words of tender affection, “Beloved Father!” 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 GOD himself. And 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.

We have a glorious destiny.  I am convinced that any suffering we endure is less than nothing compared to the magnitude of glory that is about to be unveiled within us. The entire universe is standing on tiptoe, yearning to see the unveiling of GOD’s glorious Sons and Daughters! For against its will the universe itself has had to endure the empty futility resulting from the consequences of human sin. But now, with eager expectation, all creation longs for freedom from its slavery to decay and to experience with us the wonderful freedom coming to GOD’s children.

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. 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. 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? So because our hope is set on what is yet to be seen, we patiently keep on waiting for its fulfillment.

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 GOD with emotional sighs too deep for words.

The Finger Of GOD

December 17th, 2019

Luke recorded by The Holy Spirit in chapter 11:

14 And He was casting out a demon, and it was mute. So it was, when the demon had gone out, that the mute spoke; and the multitudes marveled. 15 But some of them said, “He casts out demons by Beelzebub, the ruler of the demons.”

16 Others, testing Him, sought from Him a sign from heaven.

17 But He, knowing their thoughts, said to them: “Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation, and a house divided against a house falls. 18 If Satan also is divided against himself, how will his kingdom stand? Because you say I cast out demons by Beelzebub. 19 And if I cast out demons by Beelzebub, by whom do your sons cast them out? Therefore they will be your judges. 20 But if I cast out demons with the finger of God, surely the kingdom of God has come upon you. 21 When a strong man, fully armed, guards his own palace, his goods are in peace. 22 But when a stronger than he comes upon him and overcomes him, he takes from him all his armor in which he trusted, and divides his spoils. 23 He who is not with Me is against Me, and he who does not gather with Me scatters.

And it is written by The Holy Spirit in Exodus chapter 31:

18 And when He had made an end of speaking with him on Mount Sinai, He gave Moses two tablets of the Testimony, tablets of stone, written with the finger of God.

The finger of GOD represents HIS power.  The Law was given to Moses by the power of Our Heavenly Father and Jesus operated with this same power to cast out demons.

Another important point in the above passage is that demons were wreaking havoc among the people just as they are today.  Just because you do not perceive or discern demonic activity does not mean they are no longer active.  Our ministry today requires us to discern demonic activity and deal with it in the same manner as Our Elder Brother Jesus. 

We must understand the power of Jesus’ Blood and Its application.  When we are fully led by The Holy Spirit, we have no reservation in accepting accountability and responsibility to cast out demons and cancel out their power.

The same power that established the Law of Moses is the power that overcame the devil in Jesus’ ministry.  This is the same power we have access to as we reach full maturity IN HIM. 

We are called to do warfare with the devil and his demons.  It is imperative we discern demonic activity versus man’s soulish activity.  Though there may not be a demon behind every rock, we must not discount the possibility of demonic activity in situations we face.  We need to walk in the same discernment as Jesus.

The Beloved Disciple wrote by The Holy Spirit in 1 John chapter 3:

7 Little children, let no one deceive you. He who practices righteousness is righteous, just as He is righteous. 8 He who sins is of the devil, for the devil has sinned from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil. 9 Whoever has been born of God does not sin, for His seed remains in him; and he cannot sin, because he has been born of God.

In order to bring forth the Kingdom from Above, we must overpower and overthrow the kingdom of the devil and his demons.  As we walk in the assurance of Agape Love where there is no fear, we will boldly establish the Kingdom of Our Heavenly Father on earth as it is in Heaven.  Now is the time to embrace this mandate and allow nothing to divert our attention to this high calling.

Watch Your Words

December 16th, 2019

Jesus spoke in Matthew chapter 12:

33 “Either make the tree good and its fruit good, or else make the tree bad and its fruit bad; for a tree is known by its fruit. 34 Brood of vipers! How can you, being evil, speak good things? For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks. 35 A good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth good things, and an evil man out of the evil treasure brings forth evil things. 36 But I say to you that for every idle word men may speak, they will give account of it in the day of judgment. 37 For by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned.”

FATHER expects HIS Sons and Daughters to watch their words and speak what The Holy Spirit leads them to speak.  We must watch our words and promote life, not death or destruction.  It is up to each of us to monitor our words and assess whether we are speaking from our spirit or our soulish nature.

My behavior and my words reflect my understanding of who I am in Christ.  The more I speak in the same manner as Jesus, the greater my understanding of who I am in Christ.  My words and actions provide an excellent barometer of my level of maturity in Christ.

The world wants to stir us up in regard to the political realm.  The adversary seeks to have us operate out of the soulish realm thereby diluting our walk in THE SPIRIT.  Do not take the bait.  We are called to bring Heaven to earth and FATHER will expose the unrighteous using HIS instruments of judgment.

Let each of us focus on our individual calling and not be moved by the current chaos and confusion.  We are to move into unity with The Holy Spirit and each other.  The adversary will use the vessels of dishonor to promote division and confusion, the essence of Mystery Babylon.  2020 will be an interesting year to say the least.
