Our Secret Place Part 2

December 4th, 2019

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in 1 Thessalonians chapter 3:

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. 22 Avoid every appearance of evil.

23 Now, may the God of peace and harmony set you apart, making you completely Holy.  And may your entire being—spirit, soul, and body—be kept completely flawless in the appearing of our Lord Jesus, the Anointed One. 24 The one who calls you by name is trustworthy and will thoroughly complete his work in you.

There is an implication in the context of verses 19–20 that we put out the Spirit’s fire when we scorn prophecy. Prophecy is a valid gift of the Holy Spirit needed by believers today. There is no place in Scripture or in church history that indicates the gift of prophecy has ceased or disappeared. It is an active function of the Holy Spirit today, especially in our secret place.

We must not ignore, despise, or scorn any true gift of the Holy Spirit. Putting out the fire of the Holy Spirit (v. 19) is connected to scorning the prophetic ministry.  What does the word scorn mean?  It is the feeling or belief that someone or something is worthless or despicable; contempt.

 We need prophets and prophecy to keep the fire (inspiration) of the Holy Spirit burning in our hearts.  Prophecies encourage us as we continue our walk on the path known as The Way.  Paul also wrote by The Holy Spirit in 1 Corinthians chapter 13:

8 Love never stops loving. It extends beyond the gift of prophecy, which eventually fades away. It is more enduring than tongues, which will one day fall silent. Love remains long after words of knowledge are forgotten. 9 Our present knowledge and our prophecies are but partial, 10 but when love’s perfection arrives, the partial will fade away.

Eventually, we will not need to pray in Tongues nor will we need prophecy.  When the fullness of Agape Love is operational in our spirit, mind, and body, the partial will no longer be needed and will fade away.  For the last fourteen years, FATHER has instructed me to focus on Agape Love and write on the expanding revelation HE is giving for the benefit of those who have eyes to see and ears to hear.

FATHER is interested in each of us who are called to be set apart, making us completely Holy in spirit, mind, AND body.  It is our individual choices to immerse ourselves in receiving the revelation of Agape Love.  Agape Love has the solution which supersedes every issue we will confront. 

You can choose to walk in a lower level of revelation but you will walk in the limitations of that lower level.  Why walk in an incomplete manner when we have been given the path to full maturity?

When we consistently dwell in our secret place, The Holy Spirit will confirm true prophecies which have been declared and are specifically relevant to us.  There are many false prophets out there who have consistently prophesied and were later found to be false.  Often, they declare timelines as though no one else is hearing from FATHER but those dates come and go without consequence.  We are told to examine and test those prophecies to determine their validity.

We must hold only to true prophecies and jettison the rest from our midst.  Let us not scorn true prophecy just because there are false prophecies being declared in our midst.  The Holy Spirit will rightly divide the prophecies for us.

If I want to fix a broken world, I first must be fixed myself in my soul and body.  Agape Love “fixes” me and I become a Son whom FATHER can trust to empower and give Heaven’s authority to so that I can bring forth Heaven to earth.  As I enter into the “secret place” (aka the closet in Matthew 6:6), I submit to whatever repair work is needful in order for me to become fully useful to FATHER.  My revelation of Agape Love draws me into the secret place daily where I can expect that revelation to increase.  What a blessing!

Our Secret Place

December 3rd, 2019

It is written by The Holy Spirit in Psalm 91:

1 He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High

​​Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.

A secret is something kept hidden or unexplained; a mystery.  When we abide under the shadow of Our Heavenly Father, HE will explain mysteries and reveal secrets to us so that we will be effective emissaries on HIS behalf.  HE will supernaturally reveal what is In HIS heart concerning our walk which will make us more effective as we spread HIS Agape Love to the world.  Doors will open which were firmly closed in the past.  Opportunities will arise seemingly out of nowhere.  The unusual will become the expected.

As we abide in the secret place each morning, FATHER will reveal the appropriate mysteries which in the past seemed to be beyond our grasp.  Our past failures will no longer have an impact on us in any way, shape, or form.  We will grasp the brevity of Jesus’ Blood and Its sufficiency to deal with our past.  We will finally be freed from that past in our minds as Jesus’ Blood completes the cleansing and purging in the area where the adversary once had his playground.

Satan and his minions will no longer be able to put shame and regret into our consciousness for we have fully accepted the Truth that we are new creations in Christ Jesus.  FATHER’S Glory will make us untouchable and the demons will look elsewhere for weak vessels to influence.

Each day I sow to THE SPIRIT thus I reap what I sow… a deeper walk in The Holy Spirit.  Jesus spoke in John chapter 16:

13 However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you things to come. 14 He will glorify Me, for He will take of what is Mine and declare it to you. 15 All things that the Father has are Mine. Therefore I said that He will take of Mine and declare it to you.

We must take these Words extremely serious.  The Holy Spirit will provide us the reality of all Truth and Its application to our individual walks.  He tells us of things to come, in essence, He prophesies to each of us.  The Holy Spirit knows what is written in our individual books in Heaven and is willing to reveal and declare what is yet to come.  There are no “maybe’s” in our books and we need to grasp this reality as we choose to walk fully led by The Holy Spirit.

If we know where we are going as declared by The Holy Spirit, then we will speak appropriate words of faith in that direction.  He will guide us into the fulfillment and manifestation of our calling given to us before we were formed in the womb.  FATHER has provided a safe and secure secret place for each of us to dwell in so that we can receive HIS Divine Intent specific to our daily lives.  If Jesus found it necessary to separate Himself for this very purpose, so should we.

Satan will try to stop our momentum as we grasp the importance of dwelling in the secret place of The Most High.  As for me, it is too late for the adversary to thwart me in this area.  I look forward to being awakened by The Holy Spirit each morning and receiving whatever is needed for that day.  There is an empowerment associated with coming before the Throne of FATHER.  It is a Loving acceptance of being HIS son whom HE is well pleased.

Since Jesus conquered death, hell, and the grave, what can the enemy threaten us with?  Everything FATHER has for us is framed by HIS Word thus we should expect the promises contained within to be applicable to us.  Many teachers have watered down HIS promises when they failed to see them materialize in their own lives.  They preferred to protect their limited understanding by redefining and diluting the Divine Intent of the Word.  Jesus never failed in any area of FATHER’S promises because His intent always aligned with Our Heavenly Father.

Truth originates from Heaven and it is absolute.  On the other hand, facts can be observed but can be misinterpreted by the observer resulting in a departure from Truth.  As we submit to The Holy Spirit, we have access to absolute Truth and can make decisions based on Truth rather than interpretations of facts.  Isn’t it best to do nothing until you have the Truth?

Jesus spoke in Matthew chapter 6:

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

Jesus gave us the important key to hearing FATHER- go to your secret place, FATHER is waiting!

The Broken World

December 2nd, 2019

It is time for transformation, an impartation to glory.  Each writing in the past has been intended to move us toward transformation at a personal level.  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.

And in 2 Corinthians chapter 3:

16 Nevertheless when one turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away. 17 Now the Lord is the Spirit; and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. 18 But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord.

This is our reasonable service.  The Passion Translation says it like this:

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

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

It is my desire to have no opinion or position other than FATHER’S Divine Intent and be the expression of HIS Intent on this earth.  Not my will but HIS!  Effectively, I am overthrowing “self” once and for all.  This is transformation because it is a permanent change, not a temporary change brought on by the latest doctrine of man which has to be revisited periodically.

Walking in transformation will place The Holy Spirit at the forefront of our consciousness throughout each day and we will seek HIS guidance at every turn and in every situation.  We will be alert to the adversary’s means and methods and not be taken by surprise.  Our ability to spiritually discern will become highly sensitive as we see through man’s intents behind his actions and words.

Matthew recorded by The Holy Spirit in Matthew chapter 12:

25 Now, Jesus supernaturally perceived their thoughts and motives, so he confronted them by telling them this parable:

“Any kingdom that fights against itself will end up in ruins. And any family or community splintered by strife will fall apart.”

Demons will no longer be able to redirect our thoughts and responses away from the leading of The Holy Spirit.  Arguments and debates will be a thing of the past for our souls will line up with our spirit man.  None of us will take credit for this transformation for Our Lord Jesus Christ is fully credited for our transformation.  I am simply grateful for FATHER’S Goodness!

We are called to breakthrough this life of walking by The Holy Spirit.  Jesus ordained this walk when He sent The Holy Spirit to dwell in us and be our Teacher and Comforter, to guide us into all Truth.  As I walk according to The Holy Spirit, the world’s deceptions become abundantly obvious.  Their deceptions no longer impact my decisions or focus.  The world is broken and temporary so let us not put any trust in anything the world promotes.

Praying in Tongues is the number one way to participate in the supernatural.  The Holy Spirit is supernatural and resides on the inside of us.  There are those who will despise us for they want to hold on to their lusts.  In their arrogance, they will mock us in our walk just as Jesus was mocked.  They have submitted to confusion and demonic influence but The Holy Spirit will not allow us to be snared by their words or actions.  Our boldness will be supernatural and appropriate for each situation we face.

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

9 If the Lord Yahweh rescued Lot, he knows how to continually rescue the godly from their trials and to reserve the ungodly for punishment on the day of judgment. 10 And this especially applies to those who live their lives despising authorities and who abandon themselves to chasing the depraved lusts of their flesh.

They are willfully arrogant and insolent, unafraid to insult the glorious ones (angels). 11 Yet even angels, who are greater than they in power and strength, do not dare slander them before the Lord.

We are to submit to FATHER’S judgment of those who resist us.  As vessels of honor who walk by The Holy Spirit, we are to minister to all who are willing to hear The Gospel whether by word or deed.  This broken world needs a true solution and there is only one which will restore mankind… Our Lord Jesus Christ.  Let us walk as Our Elder Brother walked on earth for we have the assurance of The Holy Spirit.

It’s Never Too Late

December 1st, 2019

Peter wrote by The Holy Spirit in 2 Peter chapter 2:

2 In the past there arose false prophets among God’s people, just as there will continue to be false teachers who will secretly infiltrate in your midst to divide you, bringing with them their destructive heresies. They will even deny the Master, who paid the price for them, bringing swift destruction on themselves. 2 Many will follow immoral lifestyles. Because of these corrupt false teachers, the way of truth will be slandered. 3 They are only out for themselves, ready to exploit you for their own gain through their cunning arguments. Their condemnation has been a long time coming. But their destruction does not slumber or sit idly by, for it is sure to come.

False prophets and false teachers promote division by their words and/or teachings.  They try to separate us into factions or groups by promoting the “have” versus the “have not” mentality.  Who is to say what person or persons have been selected to be a part of the elect?  Only Our Heavenly Father WHO formed us in the womb knows the end from the beginning.  Since each of us has been given a free will to decide what path we pursue, there is no certainty among us of who will come into the full revelation of HIS Love prior to the end of the age.

Instead of pondering who will make it and who won’t, shouldn’t each of us focus on our own growth and maturity?  Aren’t we to Love all no matter what their current state?  If a man embraces The Way just one day before his death, isn’t he rewarded just like you and me?

Jesus spoke in Matthew chapter 20:

20 “This will help you understand the way heaven’s kingdom operates: “There once was a wealthy landowner who went out at daybreak to hire all the laborers he could find to work in his vineyard. 2 After agreeing to pay them the standard day’s wage, he put them to work. 3 Then at nine o’clock, as he was passing through the town square, he found others standing around without work. 4 He told them, ‘Come and work for me in my vineyard and I’ll pay you a fair wage.’ 5 So off they went to join the others. He did the same thing at noon and again at three o’clock, making the same arrangement as he did with the others.

6 “Hoping to finish his harvest that day, he went to the town square again at five o’clock and found more who were idle. So he said to them, ‘Why have you been here all day without work?’

7 “‘Because no one hired us,’ they answered.

“So he said to them, ‘Then go and join my crew and work in my vineyard.’

8 “When evening came, the owner of the vineyard went to his foreman and said, ‘Call in all the laborers, line them up, and pay them the same wages, starting with the most recent ones I hired and finishing with the ones who worked all day.’

9 “When those hired late in the day came to be paid, they were given a full day’s wage. 10 And when those who had been hired first came to be paid, they were convinced that they would receive more. But everyone was paid the standard wage. 11 When they realized what had happened, they were offended and complained to the landowner, saying, 12 ‘You’re treating us unfairly! They’ve only worked for one hour while we’ve slaved and sweated all day under the scorching sun. You’ve made them equal to us!’

13 “The landowner replied, ‘Friends, I’m not being unfair—I’m doing exactly what I said. Didn’t you agree to work for the standard wage? 14 If I want to give those who only worked for an hour equal pay, what does that matter to you? 15 Don’t I have the right to do what I want with what is mine? Why should my generosity make you jealous of them?’

16 “Now you can understand what I meant when I said that the first will end up last and the last will end up being first. Everyone is invited, but few are the chosen.”

FATHER is not interested in our soulish opinions.  In the above parable, the laborers who started early viewed their work as “performance based” rather than “Love based”.  Who is the greatest in the Kingdom?  One who serves all.  I need not compare myself to anyone else for my book written in Heaven is specific to me and I should concentrate on being excellent in my own calling, no matter whether it seems large or small in other peoples’ eyes.  Each of us is valuable to Our Heavenly Father and we must not allow ourselves to be compared to others.

Each day Jesus spent time with FATHER receiving instructions for His ministry and He is our Example to be followed.  In Matthew chapter 14:

22 As soon as the people were fed, Jesus told his disciples to get into their boat and to go to the other side of the lake while he stayed behind to dismiss the people. 23 After the crowds dispersed, Jesus went up into the hills to pray. And as night fell he was there praying alone with God.

24 But the disciples, who were now in the middle of the lake, ran into trouble, for their boat was tossed about by the high winds and heavy seas.

25 At about four o’clock in the morning, Jesus came to them, walking on the waves!

If Jesus found it necessary to be separated and spend time in prayer with FATHER, then so should we.  Each day I purpose to awaken when The Holy Spirit nudges me, no matter what time.  I am immediately alert and know it’s time to get up and go before FATHER.  I look forward to this quiet time with HIM.  I have no agenda but to hear what The Holy Spirit wants to say.  I am content with whatever topic is to be addressed for that day and know that I am being prepared for what lies ahead.

As our relationship with FATHER becomes intimate, then we will not be moved by what false prophets or false teachers say.  We will not be moved by the world’s opinions for we will have the Truth in our hearts to compare everything spoken to us on a daily basis.  We will be at peace while others are in turmoil.  We will also embrace each situation and be led by The Holy Spirit to speak or hold our tongue.  As Jesus taught in the above parable, it is never too late to become a laborer for FATHER for HIS generosity isn’t defined by time spent.

Safe and Secure: Meditate, more to come!

Psalm 91 The Passion Translation (TPT)

91 When you sit enthroned under the shadow of Shaddai,
you are hidden in the strength of God Most High.
He’s the hope that holds me and the Stronghold to shelter me,
the only God for me, and my great confidence.
He will rescue you from every hidden trap of the enemy,
and he will protect you from false accusation
and any deadly curse.
His massive arms are wrapped around you, protecting you.
You can run under his covering of majesty and hide.
His arms of faithfulness are a shield keeping you from harm.
You will never worry about an attack of demonic forces at night
nor have to fear a spirit of darkness coming against you.
Don’t fear a thing!
Whether by night or by day, demonic danger will not trouble you,
nor will the powers of evil launched against you.
Even in a time of disaster, with thousands and thousands being killed,
you will remain unscathed and unharmed.
you will be a spectator as the wicked perish in judgment,
for they will be paid back for what they have done!
9–10 When we live our lives within the shadow of God Most High,
our secret hiding place, we will always be shielded from harm.
How then could evil prevail against us or disease infect us?
11 God sends angels with special orders to protect you wherever you go,
defending you from all harm.
12 If you walk into a trap, they’ll be there for you
and keep you from stumbling.
13 You’ll even walk unharmed among the fiercest powers of darkness,[h
trampling every one of them beneath your feet!
14 For here is what the Lord has spoken to me:
“Because you have delighted in me as my great lover,
I will greatly protect you.
I will set you in a high place, safe and secure before my face.
15 I will answer your cry for help every time you pray,
and you will find and feel my presence
even in your time of pressure and trouble.
I will be your glorious hero and give you a feast.
16 You will be satisfied with a full life and with all that I do for you.
For you will enjoy the fullness of my salvation!”

Out of Office

Set Your Mind

November 23rd, 2019

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Colossians chapter 3:

1 If then you were raised with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ is, sitting at the right hand of God.

2 Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth.

3 For you died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God.

4 When Christ who is our life appears, then you also will appear with Him in glory.

We are meant to be synchronized with Heaven and this occurs when we bring Heaven to earth.  First thing every morning I purpose to set my mind on things above and submit to The Holy Spirit.  Afterward, I am directed of what to write that day for your benefit… and mine.  Most of the time, I do not know beforehand what I am to write but occasionally, FATHER will tell me to focus on a particular Word or subject in preparation for the next day’s writing.

I am currently on earth to help people and express FATHER’S Love and Divine Intent to all with whom I come into contact.  I have no personal agenda to promote nor do I desire to bring any focus on me.  Our Lord Jesus Christ should be the focus and we are to “replicate” Him as mature Sons and Daughters.  It is His ministry I support and no one else’s.

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

23 Stay away from all the foolish arguments of the immature, for these disputes will only generate more conflict. 24 For a true servant of our Lord Jesus will not be argumentative but gentle toward all and skilled in helping others see the truth, having great patience toward the immature. 25 Then with meekness you’ll be able to carefully enlighten those who argue with you so they can see God’s gracious gift of repentance and be brought to the truth. 26 This will cause them to rediscover themselves and escape from the snare of Satan who caught them in his trap so that they would carry out his purposes.

Demons promote division whereas we are commissioned to bring forth unity.  Arguments, debates, and disputes all lead to division so we must discern each situation in which we find ourselves.  We are to carefully and Lovingly enlighten the immature and those who want to argue.  Being argumentative is an indication that the person is facing opposition within himself.  FATHER’S Word is intended to remove all opposition if receive with an open heart.

In the parable of the soils, Jesus conveys to us a critical point in receiving.  In Matthew chapter 13, Jesus spoke:

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.”

The primary issue with people maturing in The Word is the state of their heart.  One must have a open and teachable heart and, willing to listen.  If their heart is not ready to receive, they will gain no understanding thus they will not change.

Jesus continued:

14 The prophecy of Isaiah describes them perfectly:

Although they listen carefully to everything I speak,

    they don’t understand a thing I say.

    They look and pretend to see,

    but the eyes of their hearts are closed.

15 Their minds are dull and slow to perceive,

    their ears are plugged and are hard of hearing,

    and they have deliberately shut their eyes to the truth.

    Otherwise they would open their eyes to see,

    and open their ears to hear,

    and open their minds to understand.

    Then they would turn to me

    and let me instantly heal them.

We must not allow our minds to interfere with receiving a fresh revelation from FATHER.  As we are led by The Holy Spirit, we open ourselves up to perfect understanding because The Holy Spirit expresses the Divine Intent of FATHER.  What better teacher could one want?

You can set your mind on the things of the world or the revelation from Above.  Your focus will determine your outcome.

Joy

November 22nd, 2019

Joy is a spiritual experience whereas happiness is a soulish experience.  We need to discern the difference.

Happiness is being in the enjoyment of agreeable sensations from the possession of good; enjoying pleasure from the gratification of appetites or desires. The pleasurable sensations derived from the gratification of sensual appetites render a person temporarily happy; but he only can be esteemed really and permanently happy who enjoys peace of mind in the favor of God. To be in any degree happy we must be free from pain both of body and of mind; to be very happy we must be in the enjoyment of lively sensations of pleasure, either of body or mind.

Revelation comes through your spirit, not through your mind.  Some have used kinesiology (muscle testing of the body) in an attempt to get revelation.  The Holy Spirit does not need to communicate to us by an external means so we should be careful not to pursue revelation through some methodology focused on the external.  The Holy Spirit will always talk to you through your spirit thus your soul and body should follow your spirit, not the opposite.

When my intent aligns with FATHER’S Divine Intent, joy comes forth.  Joy comes through our relationship with Our Lord Jesus Christ.  It does not merely come by us attaining a position in the Kingdom.  Moreover, life is about relationships and not about acquiring things.  Our relationship with FATHER will bring forth joy!

Worship and praise solidifies our relationship with Our Heavenly Father.  Our spirit commands our mind and body to submit to Holy worship and praise thus confirming and reinforcing the preeminence of Our Heavenly Father, Our Lord Jesus Christ, and The Most Holy Spirit in our life.  As we do this, favor from Above comes forth.  Doors open for us which were previously closed.  I have seen this reality occur countless times over the years.

Peter wrote by The Holy Spirit in 2 Peter chapter 1:

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

Our knowledge of FATHER and of Jesus Our Lord should be ever increasing.  As we immerse ourselves in praise and worship, HE inhabits our praise.  HIS closeness to us moves us to walk fully as partakers of the Divine nature.  Lust no longer has any effect in our lives.  Greed is no longer found among us.  Agape Love flows from our hearts to others.

It is written by The Holy Spirit in Zephaniah chapter 3:

13 ​​The remnant of Israel shall do no unrighteousness

​​And speak no lies,

​​Nor shall a deceitful tongue be found in their mouth;

​​For they shall feed their flocks and lie down,

​​And no one shall make them afraid.”

​14 ​​Sing, O daughter of Zion!

​​Shout, O Israel!

​​Be glad and rejoice with all your heart,

​​O daughter of Jerusalem!

15 ​​The LORD has taken away your judgments,

​​He has cast out your enemy.

​​The King of Israel, the LORD, is in your midst;

​​You shall see disaster no more.

​16 ​​In that day it shall be said to Jerusalem:

​​“Do not fear;

​​Zion, let not your hands be weak.

17 ​​The LORD your God in your midst,

​​The Mighty One, will save;

​​He will rejoice over you with gladness,

​​He will quiet you with His love,

​​He will rejoice over you with singing.”

It looks like there is much singing to come forth!

Holiness And Ownership

November 21st, 2019

Holiness is ownership and FATHER has set apart and is purifying those of us who have accepted HIS Divine Intent to live according to the straight and narrow path called The Way.  We have a free will to walk away from our calling, or fully embrace our purpose which was determined before we were formed in the womb.  As for me and my house, we have submitted to FATHER’S ownership and are serving HIM.  After all, Jesus paid the full price for you and me so why should I separate myself from the One Who first Loved me?

Our free will is either our greatest asset or our greatest liability.  We are HIS workmanship.  I am owned by MY FATHER thus my life is not my own.  I am set apart for HIS work on this earth.  I purpose to do nothing except what FATHER instructs me to do through HIS Holy Spirit.

Will you adhere to and believe The Word delivered to you?  If so, your promotion is at hand.  Use your tongue as a rudder for your life.  Your words will guide you and bring forth manifestation.  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.”

Our words reflect what is in our hearts.  My tongue is meant to speak forth blessing thus anytime I speak words contrary to Agape Love, I am missing it!  As I become more sensitive to walking in The Holy Spirit, I am being corrected rather quickly.  It is better to keep my mouth shut than to speak words which evoke condemnation.

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Romans chapter 11:

16 Since Abraham and the patriarchs are consecrated and set apart for God, so also will their descendants be set apart. If the roots of a tree are holy and set apart for God, so too will be the branches.

17 However, some of the branches have been pruned away. And you, who were once nothing more than a wild olive branch in the desert, God has grafted in—inserting you among the remaining branches as a joint partner to share in the wonderful richness of the cultivated olive stem. 18 So don’t be so arrogant as to believe that you are superior to the natural branches. There’s no reason to boast, for the new branches don’t support the root, but you owe your life to the root that supports you!

19 You might begin to think that some branches were pruned or broken off just to make room for you. 20 Yes, that’s true. They were removed because of their unbelief. But remember this: you are only attached by your faith. So don’t be presumptuous, but stand in awe and reverence. 21 Since God didn’t spare the natural branches that fell into unbelief, perhaps he won’t spare you either!

22 So fix your gaze on the simultaneous kindness and strict justice of God. How severely he treated those who fell into unbelief! Yet how tender and kind is his relationship with you. So keep on trusting in his kindness; otherwise, you also will be cut off.

Some have spoken ill against the nation of Israel and have made legal claims that the majority of the people are not included in the lineage of the twelve tribes.  What does it matter?  FATHER knows the absolute Truth and our focus should be directed toward blessing and being a light unto the whole world.  Jesus is not moved by man’s research and claims.  He paid the price for all of us no matter what our genealogy.  I have submitted to the ownership of My Heavenly Father and trust HIM to sort out the details in all areas.

Abraham was a firstfruit and if the firstfruit is Holy, the lump is also Holy; and if the root is Holy, so are the branches.  When your firstfruit is set apart and given to FATHER, it is deemed Holy.  As a result, FATHER deems the rest to be Holy as well.  As I give FATHER the firstfruit of my day, HE deems the rest of the day to be Holy as well.  When I give the firstfruit of my income to HIM, HE deems the rest of my income to be Holy and blesses my family accordingly.

If we are truly owned by FATHER and trust HIM, we will cheerfully tithe our increase knowing that FATHER will bless us and provide for us.  Abraham understood this “Law” and tithed to Melchizedek.  This Spiritual Law has not changed but only those who understand FATHER’S Divine Intent behind this Truth can truly give in a cheerful manner.

The mind has difficulty in understanding how a small portion of Holiness can spread to the entire substance.  People grossly underestimate FATHER’S ability to provide in a world where scarcity prevails.  FATHER does not live in destitution and those who are HIS are meant to live in HIS full provision.  The tithe is the physical expression denoting FATHER’S ownership.  Our unbelief will hinder the provision resulting from the giving of the tithe.  As Agape Love is revealed to each of us, the tithe is no longer an issue of debate.  As I live a Holy life, Holiness will spread to my family and Loved ones.  Abraham’s army was credited with Holiness so they were deemed clean and were able to pass through Jerusalem without hindrance.  Abraham’s tithe covered them all.

Each of us ought to ask the question “Who owns me?”

As a reminder, never give out of pressure, condemnation, or fear of rejection. FATHER’S Love knows what each of us is dealing with. I present these Truths so that you can better understand Kingdom Economics and provision.

Our Book in Heaven

November 20th, 2019

Our character is formed in adverse circumstances.  This is when we are to be fully led by THE SPIRIT rather than respond by the mind, will, or emotions.  We will be able to assess our current state of maturity by our responses to those adversities.  This directly affects the level of trustworthiness in receiving power and authority from Above.

If you live by The Holy Spirit, you will change history.  This is what we are called to do.  We will no longer allow people to control us and we will be in command of our walk on the path known as The Way.  We will see no need to argue or debate any issue.  People will no longer incite us to anger or disgust by their words and/or actions.

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Ephesians chapter 1:

3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ, 4 just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before Him in love, 5 having predestined us to adoption as sons by Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will, 6 to the praise of the glory of His grace, by which He made us accepted in the Beloved.

Let this Truth sink in.  Mediate on it.  Now, let’s look at what The Holy Spirit revealed in Psalm 139:

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

Everything you do is marvelously breathtaking.

It simply amazes me to think about it!

How thoroughly you know me, Lord!

15 You even formed every bone in my body

when you created me in the secret place,

carefully, skillfully shaping me from nothing to something.

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

Before I’d ever seen the light of day,

the number of days you planned for me

were already recorded in your book.

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

How precious and wonderful to consider

that you cherish me constantly in your every thought!

O God, your desires toward me are more

than the grains of sand on every shore!

Each of us has a book recorded in Heaven and it prophesies of our life on earth.  FATHER has carefully and skillfully shaped you and me from nothing to something.  Afterward, HE formed us in the womb.  It is not by chance you are reading this for it is time for the Words found in our books to manifest on earth.  Our books have intersected in FATHER’S perfect Plan, Will and Purpose.

I am Loved and you are too and as we comprehend FATHER’S Perfect Love, we will no longer walk in fear.  John wrote by The Holy Spirit in 1 John chapter 4:

17 Love has been perfected among us in this: that we may have boldness in the day of judgment; because as He is, so are we in this world. 18 There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves torment. But he who fears has not been made perfect in love. 19 We love Him because He first loved us.

When did FATHER first Love us?  Psalm 139 above provides us with the answer.  HE gave us the capacity to Love others because we were formed out of HIS Love.

Facts don’t set you free.  It is the Truth that sets you free.  Let us be seekers of The Truth through the ministry of The Holy Spirit rather than simply “fact seekers”.

We are called to exceed what previous generations accomplished, not less.  Apostles of faith such as Smith Wigglesworth may have set a standard but we are to exceed such ministries, not fall short.

We are to be ignited by the Holy Fire.  When we walk according to that Holy Fire originating from the Altar, history on earth changes.  We are being trained to walk in this Holy Fire continuously. 

Consider Enoch.  It is written by The Holy Spirit in Genesis chapter 5:

21 When Enoch was 65 years old, Methuselah was born.

22 Enoch walked [in habitual fellowship] with God after the birth of Methuselah 300 years and had other sons and daughters.

23 So all the days of Enoch were 365 years.

24 And Enoch walked [in habitual fellowship] with God; and he was not, for God took him [home with Him].

We too are to walk in habitual fellowship with FATHER and HE provided The Holy Spirit to live within us for this very purpose.  We have been given access to HIS Presence and HIS Holiness which expresses Itself as Holy Fire on earth.  Consider that Enoch was 65 years old before he habitually walked in fellowship with FATHER.  Were those first 65 years wasted?  Not in the least.  We are never too old to fulfill our purpose.  FATHER sustained Enoch those first 65 years knowing that he would ultimately walk consistently with HIM.

We are called to expose the whole world to FATHER’S Agape Love by ministering that Love to those who are lost and those who are now lukewarm.  We must not be critical of those whom we once looked up to but have waned from their calling.  Our lights should shine on their path so they can realize a correction is necessary.  Let our destiny written in our books be manifested on earth as it is written in Heaven!
