It is written by THE WISDOM in Proverbs 25: ​

21 ​​If your enemy is hungry, give him bread to eat;

​​And if he is thirsty, give him water to drink;

22 ​​For so you will heap coals of fire on his head,

​​And the LORD will reward you.

FATHER rewards us when we walk in Agape Love.  Our enemy today will become our brother tomorrow so let us not seek revenge or recompense when we are victimized by our enemy.  FATHER succinctly states in Deuteronomy chapter 32:

35 ​​Vengeance is Mine, and recompense;

​​Their foot shall slip in due time;

​​For the day of their calamity is at hand,

​​And the things to come hasten upon them.

An enemy is one who hates you and what you stand for.  Saul was an enemy of believers but was converted to a brother in Christ so he knew firsthand the results of Agape Love.  He then wrote by THE SPIRIT in Romans chapter 12 where he referenced the above passage in Proverbs:

9 Let love be without hypocrisy. Abhor what is evil. Cling to what is good.

10 Be kindly affectionate to one another with brotherly love, in honor giving preference to one another;

11 not lagging in diligence, fervent in spirit, serving the Lord;

12 rejoicing in hope, patient in tribulation, continuing steadfastly in prayer;

13 distributing to the needs of the saints, given to hospitality.

14 Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse.

15 Rejoice with those who rejoice, and weep with those who weep.

16 Be of the same mind toward one another. Do not set your mind on high things, but associate with the humble. Do not be wise in your own opinion.

17 Repay no one evil for evil. Have regard for good things in the sight of all men. 18 If it is possible, as much as depends on you, live peaceably with all men.

19 Beloved, do not avenge yourselves, but rather give place to wrath; for it is written, “Vengeance is Mine, I will repay,” says the Lord.

20 Therefore

​​​“If your enemy is hungry, feed him;

​​If he is thirsty, give him a drink;

​​For in so doing you will heap coals of fire on his head.”

​21 Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

Let us walk in Agape Love which is sincere and active, without guile or hypocrisy.  Let us hate what is evil, detesting all ungodliness, and not tolerating wickedness in our walk.  We must not condone ungodliness by having close fellowship with those who persist in their wickedness.  However, we must not repay evil with evil as Paul states above.

I have been wronged in the past by certain individuals who meant harm as they acted in their own self interests.  They exalted their own interests by attacking me and did this at the expense of the companies where they were employed.  Instead of actively responding to their words and actions, I opted to move on and submitted to FATHER’S repayment plan.  They received the appropriate judgment for their actions without me intervening in any manner.

In the above passage, Paul provides us a list of how Agape Love acts in various situations.  He describes those who truly walk in Agape Love toward others.  You and I should review this list to see how we measure up and where we are lacking in our walk.  This exercise provides us a picture of our progress in sifting out all the impurities remaining in our hearts.

Our enemies are temporary in nature as we walk in Agape Love.  When we walk in peace and Agape Love, we walk in full assurance of our future as Sons and Daughters thus we are not moved by those who intend to do us harm.  We overcome this evil with good!

As we walk in pure Agape Love, Isaiah 58 applies to us and FATHER becomes our “rear guard”:

7 ​​Is it not to share your bread with the hungry,

​​And that you bring to your house the poor who are cast out;

​​When you see the naked, that you cover him,

​​And not hide yourself from your own flesh?

8 ​​Then your light shall break forth like the morning,

​​Your healing shall spring forth speedily,

​​And your righteousness shall go before you;

​​The glory of the LORD shall be your rear guard.

The Beloved Disciple wrote by THE 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.

The word “perfect” means full grown, adult, of full age, mature; lacking nothing.  We must prepare ourselves for the “day of judgment” and it will surely come.  The worldliness continues to infiltrate the thinking of those who have been exposed to FATHER’S Word but have allowed themselves to become blinded as they walk in the flesh.

Agape Love allows me to be patient and longsuffering with the current condition of the world as it moves toward the fullness of iniquity.  Every day there are headlines of men and women fulfilling the lust of the flesh, many of them are targeting our children.

The Beloved Disciple wrote by THE SPIRIT in chapter 2:

15 Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him.

16 For all that is in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—is not of the Father but is of the world.

17 And the world is passing away, and the lust of it; but he who does the will of God abides forever.

The Amplified version of verse 16:

16 For all that is in the world—the lust and sensual craving of the flesh and the lust and longing of the eyes and the boastful pride of life [pretentious confidence in one’s resources or in the stability of earthly things]—these do not come from the Father, but are from the world.

There is no stability in the economic system as the world’s central banks are desperately trying to keep the current system propped up by all means at their disposal.  They will be unsuccessful but the only question is when will that fateful day occur?  We were warned back in 2007-2008 when we were literally hours from a full economic meltdown.  That near meltdown has been acknowledged by those who were involved yet nothing has been fixed or altered.  I find the blindness to be utterly amazing.  This same blindness prevailed in 1999 before the technology bubble burst.  This is a perfect example of the pride of life.

The lust of the eyes has been promoted by the multimedia exposure associated with technology.  “Soft pornography” has infiltrated television shows and movies causing many to be desensitized to what is going on before our very eyes.  As a result of this desensitization, the lust of the flesh has become socially acceptable and is moving toward the extreme.

Peter wrote by THE SPIRIT in his second epistle chapter 2:

4 For if God did not spare the angels who sinned, but cast them down to hell and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved for judgment;

5 and did not spare the ancient world, but saved Noah, one of eight people, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood on the world of the ungodly;

6 and turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah into ashes, condemned them to destruction, making them an example to those who afterward would live ungodly; 7 and delivered righteous Lot, who was oppressed by the filthy conduct of the wicked

8 (for that righteous man, dwelling among them, tormented his righteous soul from day to day by seeing and hearing their lawless deeds)—

9 then the Lord knows how to deliver the godly out of temptations and to reserve the unjust under punishment for the day of judgment,

10 and especially those who walk according to the flesh in the lust of uncleanness and despise authority. They are presumptuous, self-willed. They are not afraid to speak evil of dignitaries,

11 whereas angels, who are greater in power and might, do not bring a reviling accusation against them before the Lord.

Do you think that FATHER will allow the current lawlessness to continue without bringing forth judgment as HE did when HE condemned Sodom and Gomorrah?  Those self-willed, worldly people who despise authority will not be given a pass but will suffer correction in some notable manner.  Repent, for the Kingdom of GOD is at hand!

The world wants to redefine the unalterable Word in order to support their lawless ways.  It is simply not going to happen.  The world wants to fix problems with new laws when the solution lies with people submitting to the WORD.  As an example, we don’t really have an abortion problem.  We have a lust of the flesh problem.  Unwanted pregnancy is the result of the lust of the flesh.  Once prayer was removed from school, the lust of the flesh began to grow dramatically among the young.  Removing GOD from our schools caused our children to no longer acknowledge the LORD GOD ALMIGHTY as supreme.  We now are dealing with generations of men and women who have little or no moral compass.

FATHER continues to prepare the Sons and Daughters for the coming day of judgment and the Word will prevail as It always has.  Righteousness cannot be snuffed out by the lawlessness of the world.  It never has and it never will!

How does the world solve problems?  More often than not, they are simply redefining or reclassifying the problem by using “socially acceptable” terms.  As an example, someone who is an illegal alien is now an undocumented worker.  The rule of Law is subtly being diluted in men’s eyes.  In addition, the average person does not understand the impact of redefinition of terms used to state facts.  Ultimately, gray will replace black and white which will lead to lawlessness among the masses where “anything goes”.

Isaiah wrote by THE SPIRIT in chapter 5:

13   Therefore My people go into exile because they lack knowledge [of God];

And their honorable men are famished,

And their common people are parched with thirst.

14   Therefore Sheol (the realm of the dead) has increased its appetite and opened its mouth beyond measure;

And Jerusalem’s splendor, her multitude, her [boisterous] uproar and her [drunken] revelers descend into it.

15   So the common man will be bowed down and the man of importance degraded,  And the eyes of the proud (arrogant) will be degraded.

16   But the Lord of hosts will be exalted in justice,

And God, the Holy One, will show Himself holy in righteousness [through His righteous judgments].

17   Then the lambs will graze [among the ruins] as in their own pasture,

And strangers will eat in the desolate places of the [exiled] wealthy.

18   Woe (judgment is coming) to those who drag along wickedness with cords of falsehood, And sin as if with cart ropes [towing their own punishment];

19   Who say, “Let Him move speedily, let Him expedite His work [His promised vengeance], so that we may see it;

And let the purpose of the Holy One of Israel approach

And come to pass, so that we may know it!”

20   Woe (judgment is coming) to those who call evil good, and good evil;

Who substitute darkness for light and light for darkness;

Who substitute bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter!

21   Woe (judgment is coming) to those who are wise in their own eyes

And clever and shrewd in their own sight!

22   Woe (judgment is coming) to those who are heroes at drinking wine

And men of strength in mixing intoxicating drinks,

23   Who justify the wicked and acquit the guilty for a bribe,

And take away the rights of those who are in the right!  AMPL

If you read each verse carefully, you can appreciate how this passage describes the situation today.  Verse 20 focuses on men attempting to redefine the Truth and the reality of existence.  They have substituted the Truth with lies and have promoted those lies by persistent rhetoric generated by the mainstream media.  FATHER is the Definer of all Truth, facts, and reality.  Those who are wise in their own eyes, clever and shrewd in their own sight are accountable for their words and actions, and will be fully judged by FATHER.

The charade will be ending soon as judgment commences.  What day, week, or month will it occur?  I am not as concerned about the date as I am about my own preparation.  Each day is another opportunity to press in to a greater degree.  FATHER is not lax in HIS judgments once the time has ended for men to repent.  The temporary nature of redefinition will be corrected and the rule of righteous Law will continue to expose lawlessness.

What is fasting?  We humbly deny something of the flesh (i.e. self) to glorify Our Heavenly Father.  We bring the flesh into full submission so that our spirit is strengthened relative to the flesh and takes command over the flesh.  The goal is to be led by THE SPIRIT and not the flesh in any manner.

FATHER spoke in Isaiah which is recorded in chapter 58:

6 ​​“Is this not the fast that I have chosen:

​​To loose the bonds of wickedness,

​​To undo the heavy burdens,

​​To let the oppressed go free,

​​And that you break every yoke?

7 ​​Is it not to share your bread with the hungry,

​​And that you bring to your house the poor who are cast out;

​​When you see the naked, that you cover him,

​​And not hide yourself from your own flesh?

Verse 6 deals with correction and verse 7 describes the results of Agape Love.  You become a cheerful giver as you minister to the poor, the naked, and the hungry.  The successful fast removes the selfishness and orientation toward scarcity and you reestablish your trust in FATHER and HIS ways.  Jesus’ forty day fast was the essence of Agape Love and reliance on FATHER’S Word.

​​ 8 ​​Then your light shall break forth like the morning,

​​Your healing shall spring forth speedily,

​​And your righteousness shall go before you;

​​The glory of the LORD shall be your rear guard.

Verse 8 prophesies of The Sons and Daughters who are fully being led by THE SPIRIT.  Our light will be as the bright morning light dispersing the darkness and we will walk fully healed of any infirmity which has plagued us whether in the soul or the body.  Our righteousness will go before us and men will be convicted of their sins for the brightness will expose those sins even to those who have walked in extreme blindness.

We will not be concerned with those who would try to thwart our walk for FATHER will be our “rear guard” and not allow anyone to impede our calling.  This light will shine forth and expose the source of chaos which in turn will set the captives free from the bondage created by the wicked.  The misallocation of resources will be corrected and the Kingdom economy will spread across the earth as it is based on Agape Love.

This will not be like the revivals of the past for they did not fully address the problem but were temporary and were examples of what would happen when the fullness of time is upon us.  They were given for our instruction.

Those who promoted themselves as believers but had no understanding of FATHER’S ways will suffer judgment and remorse as well.  In Matthew 25, Jesus spoke of this in the parable of the talents:

24 “Then he who had received the one talent came and said, ‘Lord, I knew you to be a hard man, reaping where you have not sown, and gathering where you have not scattered seed.

25 And I was afraid, and went and hid your talent in the ground. Look, there you have what is yours.’

26 “But his lord answered and said to him, ‘You wicked and lazy servant, you knew that I reap where I have not sown, and gather where I have not scattered seed.

27 So you ought to have deposited my money with the bankers, and at my coming I would have received back my own with interest.

28 So take the talent from him, and give it to him who has ten talents.

29 ‘For to everyone who has, more will be given, and he will have abundance; but from him who does not have, even what he has will be taken away.

30 And cast the unprofitable servant into the outer darkness. There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’

Who are the good and faithful servants?  They are the ones who not only knew the acts of FATHER but also learned HIS ways and walked in them.  They knew HIS Divine Intent of Agape Love which became their intent as well.  After sharing this parable, Jesus spoke:

34 Then the King will say to those on His right hand, ‘Come, you blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:

35 for I was hungry and you gave Me food; I was thirsty and you gave Me drink; I was a stranger and you took Me in;

36 I was naked and you clothed Me; I was sick and you visited Me; I was in prison and you came to Me.’

Aren’t these the same qualities and actions of those who are prophesied in Isaiah 58?  Those Sons and Daughters on His right hand are called forth to ‘Come, you blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world’.  This is an exciting time for us as we spiritually ascend to the fullness of maturity IN HIM.

The Beloved Disciple wrote what he saw in The Revelation of Jesus Christ chapter 5:

6 And I looked, and behold, in the midst of the throne and of the four living creatures, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as though it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent out into all the earth.

7 Then He came and took the scroll out of the right hand of Him who sat on the throne.

8 Now when He had taken the scroll, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb, each having a harp, and golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints.

9 And they sang a new song, saying:

​​​“You are worthy to take the scroll,

​​And to open its seals; ​​For You were slain,

​​And have redeemed us to God by Your blood

​​Out of every tribe and tongue and people and nation,

10 ​​And have made us kings (Lion anointing) and priests (Lamb anointing) to our God;  ​​And we shall reign on the earth.”​

11 Then I looked, and I heard the voice of many angels around the throne, the living creatures, and the elders; and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands,

12 saying with a loud voice:

​​​“Worthy is the Lamb who was slain

​​To receive power and riches and wisdom,

​​And strength and honor and glory and blessing!”​

13 And every creature which is in heaven and on the earth and under the earth and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, I heard saying:

​​​“Blessing and honor and glory and power

​​Be to Him who sits on the throne, ​​And to the Lamb, forever and ever!”

The seven Spirits of God are the seven Spirits of Sonship!  They are the seven-fold intensified Spirit of the LORD that rested upon the firstborn Son of God.  The seven Spirits of Sonship are given to us by the prophet Isaiah who prophesied of God’s Christ, Head and body in chapter 11:

2 ​​The Spirit of the LORD shall rest upon Him,

​​The Spirit of wisdom and understanding,

​​The Spirit of counsel and might,

​​The Spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD.​

3 ​​His delight is in the fear of the LORD,

​​And He shall not judge by the sight of His eyes,

​​Nor decide by the hearing of His ears;

4 ​​But with righteousness He shall judge the poor,

​​And decide with equity for the meek of the earth;

​​He shall strike the earth with the rod of His mouth,

​​And with the breath of His lips He shall slay the wicked.

We will walk in these seven Spirits without measure and we will be fully led by THE SPIRIT and not rely on “the sight of our eyes or decide by the hearing of our ears”.

As the seven-fold intensified Spirit of THE LORD flows over the earth from the many-membered Body of Christ, there will be peace, joy, and blessing which will alter the attitudes and change personalities evoking a transformation of lives.

The various natures of men will be entirely transformed by the overwhelming grace and redeeming power.  Men will live in Agape Love, righteousness, and peace which are currently beyond their understanding.  They will shed the greed and selfishness of the past and finally realize the darkness they walked in was a complete lie and deception.

Let us not look back at past moves of THE SPIRIT which were only types and shadows of what is to come.  Let us not underestimate the power and authority of the many-membered Body of Christ as The Revelation of Jesus Christ is communicating to us details of what lies ahead.  Now is the time to expect the unexpected!

In Matthew 5, Jesus spoke the first “beatitude”:

3 ​​“Blessed are the poor in spirit,

​​For theirs is the kingdom of heaven.”

The term “poor” has carried a negative connotation in the past but I knew that there was a better understanding below the surface.  Additionally, Jesus spoke in Matthew chapter 11:

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.”

Lowly or humble and gentle describes Jesus as the Lamb of GOD, not the Lion of Judah.  The Jews were looking for the Lion thus they did not recognize the Lamb and His preeminent ministry.  The first Beatitude reveals the mystery of the Lamb’s ministry.

My beloved brother Alan provides the Hebrew understanding and clarification:

Noah was told, in Gen. 9:13 that God would ‘set’ his bow in the cloud.  The word for cloud here is ‘ah-nan’, and is from the same root that we get ‘ah-nah’; to answer.  ‘ah-nan’ can be seen as ‘ah-nah’, in plural form.  Several times, this word ‘ah-nah’, which we normally think of as ‘answer’, is translated as ‘afflict’, ‘deal harshly’, and in Gen. 34:2 is translated as ‘defiled her’.  In other words, sometimes the answer we receive is a harsh or punishing response.  However, God told Noah, in Genesis 9:13 – 16, that He would set His “…bow in the cloud”.  The word bow can be considered synonymous with ‘covenant’.  And the word ‘ah-nan’ is also synonymous with answer, though sometimes translated as cloud.  From this I believe that if we substitute the understanding of ‘bow’ as also being ‘covenant’, and the word ‘ah-nan’ as being cloud or answer, God is revealing that His covenant is revealed in His answer.  Does God respond to sincere inquiries with harshness and cruelty?  I don’t think so.  Jesus never responded with harshness or cruelty.

I refer back to this because the word you are searching,  עָנָו and more ideally recognized by the Hebrew fonts wn[   pronounced in this format as ‘ah-nahv’, or ‘ah-nau’ or ‘an-nuh’ in some instances, and which originates from the primary root ‘ah-nan’ (Strong’s #6051) and in Hebrew is written as !n[.  Without belaboring a lot of Hebrew ‘stuff’ you’re most likely not interested in, the root verb ‘ah-nan’ (#6051) has a basic meaning of “…receiving a response or input or supply of information based on what we are discerning, or experiencing, through our natural senses; ie, touch, taste, smell, hear, see, etc.  All of these words,  ‘ah-nuh’ (Strong’s #6035), ‘ah-niy (Strong’s #6040) and ‘ah-nah’ (#6034), are different expressions of the root #6051.  The first letter of the word ‘ah-nan’ is the ‘ay-yin’, which is symbolized by the human eye, and is expressive of what information you detect or glean through your natural senses; frankly, input from the soulish realm as distinguished from Spiritual discernment.  That description, in of itself, is very valuable information.  Most believers, yours truly included, are initially and primarily impacted by what we experience from our surroundings through our natural senses.  And yet Our Father encourages us to not be dictated to, nor dominated by, what our natural senses tell us, but rather to “…try the spirit”. 

We are encouraged to trust the Holy Spirit of Truth in Love for the proper understanding of any and all sensory input.  Rarely, and probably never, is whole or reliable truth revealed in what we detect by our natural senses.  The majority of the history of ‘christianity’ is a tragedy about believers having their ‘christianity’ established and founded on what our soulish senses reveal to us.  We tend to think of the Spiritual Kingdom of Our Father in terms of natural events, experiences and symbols.  And yet Yashua confirmed to us that His Kingdom is not of this natural world realm.  When will we believe Him?

All of the words that derive from the root !n[ (ah-nan) retain the characteristics of ‘ah-nan’.  Whether the word being expressed is ‘ah-nah’, ‘ah-nav/ah-nau’, or

‘ah-niy’, these are all expressing an ‘answer’ or ‘input’ based upon being influenced by what our natural senses reveal to us.  Again, rarely is this ‘natural sense realm input’ totally reliable, and we usually interpret in a negative mentality. 

A good example is ‘beyt ah-niy’, “…house of the poor”.  You probably recognize this word as Bethany.  You may even know someone that resides there.  ‘beyt ah-niy’ is often referred to as “…the house of the poor”, because ‘ah-niy’ is often associated with, or translated directly, as ‘poor’.  We like to quote the following: “Blessed are the ‘poor’ in spirit”.  But, why are they ‘poor’ in spirit?  Is it because they have no ‘spirit presence’ with which to identify, or turn to?  Not at all, I say.  They are called ‘poor’ because the ‘afflictions’ (ah-nuh) of life have kept them from being arrogant, and filled with soulish pride.  The ‘poor’ (ah-niy) in spirit are those that are not filled with soulish pride, and carnal arrogance.  ‘ah-niy’ is also translated several times as ‘afflictions’;  Gen. 16:11, Psalm 22:24 and Isaiah 48:10 are some good examples of expressing ‘ah-niy and ‘ah-nah’ as ‘afflictions’.  Gen. 15:13 is also a valid expression.   Numbers 12:3:  ‘meek’ is from the Hebrew ‘ah-nav’ (wn[), one whose ‘afflictions’ or ‘answers’ from life has kept them from being inflated with pride or arrogance.  Psalm 147:7 translates ‘ah-nav’ as “Sing”, as a form of an answer to Him.

I realize this is a very broad and ‘generic’ overview, but I hope this will give you a feel for what you are seeking.  Sometimes the answer we seek must first be recognized in the ‘afflictions’ and ‘poor’ experiences of our existence, to propel us further to find Our Father.  When the ‘afflictions’ of this life no longer dictate who we are, we are getting much closer to the character and nature of our Elder Brother.

Many of us are well aware of FATHER’S timing and related mysteries through past teachings and studies. However, FATHER is now revealing HIS mysteries to a larger audience.

What an appropriate interview and book for this time:
