FATHER’S Love Plan Part 2

June 3rd, 2019

We are to trust in FATHER’S integrity of what HE said will come to pass.  Every Word coming from HIM is the exact Truth and reality of HIS Divine Intent.  Our responsibility is to believe HIS Word above what our senses or human logic might challenge.

FATHER wants us to have total happiness, Divine purpose, and abundant living thus HE revealed the Truths in HIS Word for us to achieve each area in our lives.  On the other hand, the adversary wants us to be depressed, have no purpose, and live in scarcity.  To the degree we believe and act on FATHER’S Word in each area, we will achieve positive results.  FATHER isn’t limiting us, we are limiting ourselves because of unbelief.

The Beloved Disciple wrote by THE SPIRIT in 1 John chapter 3:

8 …For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil.

Jesus is our link to FATHER, not a prophet, not a teacher, not an angel, only Jesus.  Each of us has the responsibility to purify our heart through the cleansing of The Word.  In order to believe, I must know The Word and trust FATHER’S Love plan to cleanse my heart with HIS Word.  As The Word fills my heart, I will no longer practice lawlessness for The Word in my heart convicts me and corrects my actions.

FATHER spoke in Jeremiah chapter 31:

33 “But this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says the LORD: I will put My law in their minds, and write it on their hearts; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people.

34 No more shall every man teach his neighbor, and every man his brother, saying, ‘Know the LORD,’ for they all shall know Me, from the least of them to the greatest of them, says the LORD. For I will forgive their iniquity, and their sin I will remember no more.”

FATHER takes the responsibility for successfully put HIS Law in our minds and on our hearts.  HE designed us to receive HIS Love if we will only believe in HIS ability to accomplish HIS Word.

FATHER desires our companionship but it requires us to make the choice to walk with HIM.  Companionship is a closeness or familiarity, a true fellowship among two who have truly connected.  This is what Adam had when he walked with FATHER before the fall.  Once that fellowship was broken, FATHER enacted HIS Love plan to restore companionship with humanity.  HE did it by giving us HIS Son to us.  No one else could meet the requirement for restoration.  If we have placed our trust in John 3:16, why don’t we place our trust in the rest of HIS Word which includes the promises of blessings and prosperity?

Many have yet to walk in other areas of HIS Word because they don’t believe they are worthy due to their past failures.  The old man will remind us of past sins and convince us of our unworthiness to be blessed in the areas of our lack.  It is written by THE SPIRIT in Hebrews chapter 10:

12 But this Man Jesus, after He had offered one sacrifice for sins forever, sat down at the right hand of God,

13 from that time waiting till His enemies are made His footstool.

14 For by one offering He has perfected forever those who are being sanctified.

15 But the Holy Spirit also witnesses to us; for after He had said before,

16 “This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, says the LORD: I will put My laws into their hearts, and in their minds I will write them,” 17 then He adds, “Their sins and their lawless deeds I will remember no more.”

18 Now where there is remission of these, there is no longer an offering for sin.

Jeremiah prophesied the fulfillment of the Love plan and the verse above confirmed the fulfillment of FATHER’S Divine Intent.  If FATHER is willing to forget our sins and lawless deeds, we should do the same.  Paul fully trusted in this Truth as he gratefully accepted the wiping away of his past sins against the believers.  I am no longer that person of the past and neither are you. 

FATHER’S Love is greater than our past lawlessness so let us be counted worthy to receive FATHER’S blessings today.  Let us accept HIS Love without reservation.  Let us place our trust in HIS ability to renew our minds and purify our hearts to the point where we walk according to HIS Word with great joy.  Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.  Let us accept this great Truth!

FATHER’S Love Plan

June 2nd, 2019

Jesus Christ is more than a religion.  He revealed FATHER’S Love plan for mankind.  Jesus in not a religion of complex traditions but rather He leads and guides us to FATHER’S unconditional Love for us.

FATHER recorded the Word and works of Jesus to provide us seeds leading toward an abundant life of health and prosperity.  If we plant those seeds, tend to them, and water them, we will receive a harvest promised to us by FATHER.  If we plant no seed, we receive no harvest… it is that simple.

It is written by THE SPIRIT in Genesis chapter 1:

12 And the earth brought forth grass, the herb that yields seed according to its kind, and the tree that yields fruit, whose seed is in itself according to its kind. And God saw that it was good.

A seed will only produce after its own kind.  An apple seed will not produce an orange tree.  A seed of Love will produce Love.  A seed of hate will produce hate.  A seed of mercy produces mercy.  We must sow into good ground and I assure you that as Agape Love grows in your heart, the ground will be extremely fertile.

The Bible contains FATHER’S Love plan and within It are the seeds HE has given to us to plant which will produce miracles in our lives.  Jesus assured us “Do not be afraid; only believe.”  FATHER expects us to believe in HIS Seed and its intended results.  The more we study and ponder the Word, the greater our faith in those Seeds to do what FATHER intends.

When we plant seeds in other human lives, we receive a harvest in our own life.  When you or I give to a person in need without any strings attached, we are investing in his or her life.  When we give “acts of Love” to others, we are spreading The Gospel as effectively as if an evangelist was preaching a message.  When we purpose to be givers to those we encounter, FATHER is pleased to increase our fruitfulness.

If you are blessed by these writings, consider forwarding them to those who also might benefit.  Our desire is to reveal FATHER’S vibrant Love plan for mankind for this is truly The Gospel.  We have no interest in erecting buildings or creating some complex infrastructure to spread The Gospel.  Jesus went to the people to spread The Gospel.  To my knowledge, He supported no plan to build a new synagogue on every street corner. 

The Gospel is greater than what can be contained within four walls.  No building can contain FATHER’S Glory and HE will not be restricted to any building.  The people in need of HIS Love are typically located outside those four walls.  We should expand our thinking and perspective as we mature in the revelation of Love.

Each day I am grateful to be alive and want to express FATHER’S Love in whatever manner is appropriate for that day.  I look forward to waking up and spending quality time with FATHER as HE prepares me for another wonderful day.  HE gives each of us purpose and that purpose includes the expression of Love toward others. 

You and I are investing in the Kingdom’s riches as we promote the Good News of Jesus Christ and His Love for all of mankind.  I give Our Heavenly Father the full credit for my existence and I am not reluctant to share that Truth with anyone who is willing to listen. 

There is no need to force my beliefs on others for there are times when we are simply to invest in their lives by giving according to their need.  This will open the door to sharing with them the path to abundant living by planting “seed” themselves.  We should direct the recipients to the True Source of Provision- Our Heavenly Father.  We should impart the Truth of seedtime and harvest when given the opportunity as we spread the Good News.  This is truly investing in the person’s future.

As we plant the seeds we have been given and continue to plant, one day we will realize the harvest of the good fruit all around us.  Yes, we need to be patient and let the seeds grow “first the blade, then the head, after that the full grain in the head.”  If we consistently plant seeds of Agape Love in their various expressions, we will surely walk according to the fullness of the fruit of The Holy Spirit and our lives will enjoy the fulfillment of FATHER’S Love plan.

Nothing Is Impossible

June 1st, 2019

Luke wrote by THE SPIRIT in chapter 1:

34 Then Mary said to the angel (Gabriel), “How can this be, since I do not know a man?”

35 And the angel answered and said to her, “The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Highest will overshadow you; therefore, also, that Holy One who is to be born will be called the Son of God.

36 Now indeed, Elizabeth your relative has also conceived a son in her old age; and this is now the sixth month for her who was called barren.

37 For with God nothing will be impossible.”

38 Then Mary said, “Behold the maidservant of the Lord! Let it be to me according to your word.” And the angel departed from her.

In Mark chapter 10, Jesus spoke:

27 But Jesus looked at them and said, “With men it is impossible, but not with God; for with God all things are possible.”

28 Then Peter began to say to Him, “See, we have left all and followed You.”

29 So Jesus answered and said, “Assuredly, I say to you, there is no one who has left house or brothers or sisters or father or mother or wife or children or lands, for My sake and the gospel’s,

30 who shall not receive a hundredfold now in this time—houses and brothers and sisters and mothers and children and lands, with persecutions—and in the age to come, eternal life.

31 But many who are first will be last, and the last first.”

Men have a strong tendency to limit Our Heavenly Father.  They trust in their senses and logic more than they trust in FATHER’S Word thus they place a limitation on their faith.  They may have never experienced the supernatural so they have no expectation of the impossible occurring in their life.  Even though they read The Word, especially the passage above concerning Mary’s conception, they somehow think that FATHER will not (or cannot) do the impossible in their life.

Jesus Himself tells us that with Our Heavenly Father all things are possible.  Do we doubt the Words of Jesus?  Do we try to reinterpret The Word to fit our lack of understanding?  Jesus had just counseled the rich young ruler concerning giving his wealth: “One thing you lack: Go your way, sell whatever you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, take up the cross, and follow Me.”  The rich young ruler trusted his current wealth more than Jesus.  Upon the young man’s departure, Jesus spoke:

23 Then Jesus looked around and said to His disciples, “How hard it is for those who have riches to enter the kingdom of God!”

The disciples were greatly astonished at the doctrine of Jesus concerning giving.  His doctrine of giving as He expressed in Luke 6:38 “Give, and it will be given to you: good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over will be put into your bosom. For with the same measure that you use, it will be measured back to you” does not seem possible to many believers.  They can’t grasp the “impossible”.  This is one facet of the revelation of Love and it separates the mature from the immature. 

People who are unwilling to give, trust in their worldly riches more than they trust The Word of GOD.  That is the stark reality.  They look for excuses to withhold giving and the result is that they prevent the “impossible” from occurring in their life.  They lack faith in The Word to function in the area of finances because they have been conditioned by the world to live according to scarcity rather than abundance.

When you become a cheerful giver and promote giving, you will be persecuted.  Jesus set an expectation to receive a hundredfold now in this time but also mentioned that along with the abundance, you would be persecuted.  Persecution is defined as hostility and ill-treatment, especially because of race or political or religious beliefs. 

I know about being persecuted because of FATHER’S blessings on my life.  When I have testified of FATHER’S blessings in my life, there have been some who were envious because they had not received such blessings.  I can’t make people walk in faith and give according to the leading of The Holy Spirit.  I can only encourage people to believe HIS Word in the area of giving.  I have come to expect the impossible in my life because FATHER has done the “impossible” multiple times on my behalf.  HE acted based on HIS unconditional Love for me in spite of my well known imperfections.  I am truly grateful simply to be alive and thus I am willing to be used by HIM in whatever capacity HE chooses.

We must overcome our flesh in all areas, especially in the area of hoarding finances.  Please don’t shoot the messenger for the message will simply be taken up by another who is willing to assist in the maturing of the Sons and Daughters. 

We need to expect the impossible in all areas of our life.  We need to set our focus above the world’s orientation of scarcity and truly believe what Jesus said in all areas affecting us.  It is your choice to embrace ALL of His Words or accept only some of His Words.  I choose to accept all… I hope you do too!

The Carnal Mind

May 31st, 2019

Paul wrote by THE SPIRIT in Romans chapter 8:

5 For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit.

6 For to be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.

7 Because the carnal mind is enmity against God; for it is not subject to the law of God, nor indeed can be.

8 So then, those who are in the flesh cannot please God.

FATHER gives us the choice to live according to the flesh or to live according to THE SPIRIT.  Those who choose to live according to the flesh create a multitude of issues in their life and become slaves to those issues.  Many of the simply live and pursue the lust of their flesh.  Isn’t the opioid epidemic in the United States the result of the lust of the flesh?  Isn’t drug addiction caused by the “highs” obtained by consuming drugs and temporarily forgetting the problems created by living according to the flesh?  Will legislation address the core issue of the opioid epidemic?  Not at all, only the deliverance by The Word of GOD will resolve the problem.  Only the Love of Our Heavenly Father expressed through us will break through the walls erected by those who submitted to drug addiction.

Isn’t the Roe versus Wade abortion issue dealing with the same core problem, the lust of the flesh?  Women want to be free to have sexual intercourse outside of marriage without any repercussion.  They want to dress in a provocative manner and spend billions of dollars to look attractive to men who inherently want to have sex but do not want to suffer any consequences.  Why tempt a man and then have him charged for responding to the underlying intent? 

Men are not innocent victims either.  Proverbs chapters 5 through 9 express warnings to the man concerning the adulteress, the harlot, and the foolish woman.  What is obviously missing are the warnings to the woman.  If men walked in righteousness, there would be no abortion issue.  If men no longer walked according to the lust of the flesh and the lust of the eyes, women would not be encouraged to dress in a manner to lure them into their bed.

The core solution to man’s problems is solved by the revelation of FATHER’S Love expressed in HIS Word.  The power inherent in The Word will break through the lusts mentioned above and as maturing Sons and Daughters, we should be focused on tapping into this power.

Do you think mandating submission to the Law will resolve the core problem?  Not at all.  Do you think the solution lies within the multitude of prophecies concerning global judgment will scare people into adhering to Biblical principles?  The solution is for man’s heart to change.  Proverbs 23:7 states “For as he thinks in his heart, so is he.”  Jesus stated in Matthew chapter 5:

27 “You have heard that it was said to those of old, ‘You shall not commit adultery.’

28 But I say to you that whoever looks at a woman to lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.

29 If your right eye causes you to sin, pluck it out and cast it from you; for it is more profitable for you that one of your members perish, than for your whole body to be cast into hell.

30 And if your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and cast it from you; for it is more profitable for you that one of your members perish, than for your whole body to be cast into hell.”

Adultery, promiscuity, and drug addiction all begin in the heart.  Until we deal with the heart issue, the problem will not be resolved.  We can’t legislate a pure heart nor can we scare someone into having a pure heart.  Only Agape Love can change a man’s heart.  Until we walk in the full revelation of FATHER’S Love toward mankind as Jesus did, the issues will remain widespread.  No amount of prophetic words will deal with the problem for they only serve as notification of the problem.  We need the power of Love to change men’s hearts… and women’s hearts as well.

Prove The Word

May 30th, 2019

Paul wrote by THE SPIRIT in Romans chapter 12:

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

How long should I focus on renewing my mind?  Until I am perfected and fully mature in Christ.  Many would like to defer to others the tasks related to bringing forth the Kingdom but each of us has a part in FATHER’S plan.  We must not shirk our responsibilities but instead embrace each day as an opportunity to go about doing good on behalf of the Kingdom.

The wheat and the tares are growing together in the field of the world thus as lawlessness increases, so does the righteousness among the saints.  I know in my own life that my boldness grows daily on behalf of the Kingdom and I am not intimidated by the lawless ones who demand that I accept their lawless and unrighteous ways.  I Love all of mankind but I will not endorse their lawlessness.

We are to prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of GOD.  The word “prove” means: to test, examine, scrutinize (to see whether a thing is genuine or not).  We must be careful concerning the teachings and prophecies by men who claim to be superior in spiritual maturity.  Prophecies are especially challenging because of their predictions of future events.  I have heard a multitude of prophecies concerning the end times and virtually none of them have come to pass.  They did nothing accept to divert my focus from my particular calling and focus on some future date or event where nothing happened.  Those false prophets rely on the short memory of people and they continue to promote themselves and their “special connection” to the spiritual.

If we cannot find Scripture to compare to a “prophecy”, let us rely on The Holy Spirit to be our guide.  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.

Many immature believers are seeking the thrill of the supernatural and hope what the so-called prophet is saying or doing will come to pass.  Instead, they should be focused on what The Spirit of Truth is saying to them and respond accordingly.  The disciples were hoping that Jesus would defeat the Roman army before their eyes and were sorely disappointed when He went to the cross.  They did not understand the big picture and were being carnally minded.

We must place our trust in being led by THE SPIRIT rather than relying on someone else to hear THE SPIRIT and tell us what to believe and/or expect.  Each of the writings I post should be tested as well.  I purpose to write with specific Scripture references that will confirm what FATHER is showing me for that day.  If what I write does not witness with your spirit, set it aside and do not blindly accept it.  You have a responsibility to “prove” everything you hear and read.

Brother Eby recently wrote:

I’m just a flesh and blood man, but upon me today there is a word. Out of me there flows a message. You may not think much of me. You may be able to discern my weaknesses and perhaps you can see some of my flaws. You may not like me. I don’t even like myself very much! But I know who I am and I know what Father has sent me to do. It makes no difference whether you like me, whether anybody likes me, or whether I even like myself. No difference at all! Because I’m not the issue. I’m of no importance. I am irrelevant to anything except as I relate to the message I bear. None of the “kingdom preachers” today are of any special importance within themselves. None of us matter. Never get your eyes on the angel! Never fall down and do obeisance before the messenger! If you get your eye on the angel, you’ve missed the point! I do honor the men of God who bear the revelation of the Lord in this great hour. But we are not called to participate in a Mutual Admiration Society or to exalt any man. We are called to deliver and to hear every word that is proceeding out of the mouth of God! It’s the word! It’s the message! And the spirit of our prophecy IS THE TESTIMONY OF JESUS CHRIST!

I could not have expressed it better myself.

Desensitized?

May 29th, 2019

Many believers have become desensitized to The Word and have passively accepted the latest “politically acceptable” values.  Many remain silent when confronted with evil and their silence is seen as passive acceptance.  We are to Love the person but not their lawlessness or evil actions.  It is clear that they do not fear GOD or exalt HIS Word or they would seek to be righteous and walk according to HIS Word.  They are on a path to death and destruction because of the darkness in their heart.  We need to speak FATHER’S Wisdom to them in an appropriate manner so that their darkness will be exposed and at the same time give them hope of a better life.

Wisdom writes in Proverbs 8:

12 ​​“I, wisdom, dwell with prudence,

​​And find out knowledge and discretion.

13 ​​The fear of the LORD is to hate evil;

​​Pride and arrogance and the evil way

​​And the perverse mouth I hate.”

FATHER hates evil and so should we.  As we mature as Sons and Daughters, we will gain Wisdom concerning our response to evil.  We must not allow ourselves to get caught up in the world’s view of those who promote evil’s agenda.  Paul wrote by THE SPIRIT in Galatians chapter 5:

19 Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness,

20 idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies,

21 envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.

We must not allow ourselves to become desensitized to the works of the flesh but maintain our focus on The Word and be led by THE SPIRIT.  If The Word is our top priority, we can face the world each day with the confidence to overcome evil with good.

Wisdom also speaks in Proverbs 9:

10 ​​“The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom,

​​And the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.

11 ​​For by me your days will be multiplied,

​​And years of life will be added to you.”

The world’s wisdom and understanding is no match for FATHER’S Wisdom and understanding but many believers do not consistently seek FATHER’S Wisdom concerning their daily matters.  Instead, they succumb to the wisdom of the world and achieve substandard results.  We must recommit ourselves to pursue FATHER’S Wisdom as we see in Proverbs chapter 3:

19 ​​The LORD by wisdom founded the earth;

​​By understanding He established the heavens;

Wisdom existed before the earth was created and by HIS Wisdom FATHER created this dynamic earth.  Wisdom’s “fingerprints” are everywhere if we only have eyes to see.  If we want to experience a long and productive life, we must embrace FATHER’S Wisdom and hate evil.  Our individual callings will be impaired if we become desensitized to the evil which is so prevalent today.  Our lights will expose the evil and open the eyes of those who are lurking in the shadows.  As we grow in FATHER’S Wisdom and HIS Love, we will properly address the evil around us and not allow it to enter our households.

Do Not Look Back

May 28th, 2019

It is written by THE SPIRIT in Hebrews chapter 11:

1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

2 For by it the elders obtained a good testimony.

Each of us has a past where we have failed to live up to The Word and Its commandments yet FATHER has extended HIS great grace and mercy toward us because of HIS unfailing Love.  We must not look back to our past mistakes and failures for they have been wiped away by the Blood of The Lamb.  We must look forward and leave the past behind.  Yes, we should learn from past mistakes but not relive those mistakes over and over.

15 And if they (Abraham and Sarah) had been thinking of that country from which they departed [as their true home], they would have had [a continuing] opportunity to return.

16 But the truth is that they were longing for a better country, that is, a heavenly one. For that reason God is not ashamed [of them or] to be called their God [even to be surnamed their God—the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob]; for He has prepared a city for them.  AMPL

Abraham was told to leave his country for a better place and they were not to look back.  We too are to keep our eyes fixed on a better place and cut all ties with the past.  Paul wrote by THE SPIRIT in 2 Corinthians chapter 5:

17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.

The adversary wants to draw us away from our relationship with Christ by constantly bringing the old man and his deeds.  We need to resist any attempt to cause us to live in the past.  We must walk in faith that FATHER’S Love is greater than any past sin and HE only has our best interest at heart.

Consider David.  He broke the Law and committed adultery with Bathsheba, then planned to have her husband killed.  However, it is written in Acts chapter 13 by THE SPIRIT:

22 And when He had removed him, He raised up for them David as king, to whom also He gave testimony and said, ‘I have found David, the son of Jesse, a man after My own heart, who will do all My will.’

Did FATHER know that David would break HIS Commandments?  Yes, but FATHER’S grace and mercy are greater than our failures.  We must repent of our sins and move on toward that “Heavenly City”.  Let the old man remained buried and let the Blood of Christ be at the forefront of our consciousness.  Let us never discount the power in The Blood for Christ redeemed us from the curse of the Law.  FATHER’S Agape Love and Divine Intent toward us overcomes the past and provides us light to walk according to HIS Ways.

Paul’s past included the shedding of innocent blood yet he understood the power of FATHER’S Love and forgiveness.  He wrote by THE SPIRIT in Philippians chapter 3:

12 Not that I have already obtained it [this goal of being Christlike] or have already been made perfect, but I actively press on [e]so that I may take hold of that [perfection] for which Christ Jesus took hold of me and made me His own.

13 Brothers and sisters, I do not consider that I have made it my own yet; but one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and reaching forward to what lies ahead,

14 I press on toward the goal to win the [heavenly] prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.

15 All of us who are mature [pursuing spiritual perfection] should have this attitude. And if in any respect you have a different attitude, that too God will make clear to you.

16 Only let us stay true to what we have already attained.   AMPL

Our goal is to be Christlike so let us no longer consider the past but walk in faith, knowing that our redemption is sure and with exception.

No Excuse

May 27th, 2019

Paul wrote by THE SPIRIT in Romans chapter 1:

18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness,

19 because what may be known of God is manifest in them, for God has shown it to them.

20 For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse,

People who walk in ungodliness are without excuse.  In order to rationalize their pathway to death, they attempt to suppress the Truth by promoting changes in laws and overrunning media with their darkness, hoping to gain broad acceptance.  They promote their wickedness by wrapping it with some type of emotional appeal.  However, they cannot deny what FATHER has revealed from Heaven, exposing all ungodliness and unrighteousness.  There’s no excuse!

21 because, although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened.

22 Professing to be wise, they became fools,

23 and changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like corruptible man—and birds and four-footed animals and creeping things.

24 Therefore God also gave them up to uncleanness, in the lusts of their hearts, to dishonor their bodies among themselves,

FATHER made it very clear concerning the Divine Intent of our bodies.  We are to flee from the corruption of those who dishonor the bodies and dwell in their lusts.  The reality is that they are not happy nor are they at peace in their hearts thus they try to gain acceptance hoping to fill the emptiness in their hearts.

25 who exchanged the truth of God for the lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.

26 For this reason God gave them up to vile passions. For even their women exchanged the natural use for what is against nature.

27 Likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust for one another, men with men committing what is shameful, and receiving in themselves the penalty of their error which was due.

28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a debased mind, to do those things which are not fitting;

29 being filled with all unrighteousness, sexual immorality, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil-mindedness; they are whisperers,

30 backbiters, haters of God, violent, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,

31 undiscerning, untrustworthy, unloving, unforgiving, unmerciful;

32 who, knowing the righteous judgment of God, that those who practice such things are deserving of death, not only do the same but also approve of those who practice them.

Do you think that FATHER is simply going to overlook what is happening around the world without evoking some form of righteous judgment?  There are consequences of men and women who are walking in such ungodliness and unrighteousness.  There is also ramification to those who condone such ungodliness.  This is not my opinion, it is according to The Word.  There’s no excuse… FATHER has revealed The Truth and no one can claim ignorance.

Honor THE LORD

May 26th, 2019

Our goal is to assist in your maturing process into the fullness of being a Son or Daughter of Our Heavenly Father.  We cannot be reluctant in addressing topics we know to be sensitive to those who are pursuing a higher level of maturing.  Giving is one such sensitive topic.

Over the years, people have come up with all sorts of reasons not to be givers.  Often, they look at the ministry and search for flaws which would justify them withholding their giving.  Unfortunately, they are missing the point.  Their rationale has caused them to miss the blessing of giving.  It is all about intent of the giver, not the potential recipient’s righteousness.

Wisdom wrote 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.

And:

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.

Do you think FATHER is restricted in providing you a financial blessing if the recipient of your giving fails to handle your gift in a righteous manner?  Absolutely not!  My wife and I have given significant contributions to various ministries who have been found to misallocate resources based on what was advertised.  Nevertheless, FATHER blessed us in our giving because we gave with the right intent out of a pure heart.  In several cases, we gave significantly beyond our “emotional comfort zone” but FATHER provided us with exceptional blessings in return.

We currently pay no salaries out of Servias Ministries and never have since its inception thus there is no incentive to “tickle” the ears of the readers with popular topics which may add nothing toward the maturity of the believer.  FATHER provides for my family through my business.  All contributions go to keeping our website up and operational and disbursing to those in need as our funds allow. 

Historically, my wife and I have been major contributors to Servias.  Since FATHER told us to start this organization, I know it is fertile ground to plant our seed.  FATHER continues to bless our giving and I trust HE is blessing those who contribute to this ministry as well.  What a blessing to teach what FATHER gives us daily to a wide and diverse readership!  We have over 3,000 different readers come to our site each month.  I believe many of these readers are being encouraged and matured by The Word in preparation of the challenges ahead.

 I can share testimonies of many past blessings due to our giving but they only serve to assure you that FATHER’S Word will work for you as well.  If you become a frequent giver then you will receive frequent blessings.  But if you are a reluctant giver or a “zero” giver, you too will be rewarded according to the measure you give.

Wisdom urges you to become a giver so that your barns will be filled with plenty and your vat will overflow with new wine.  As Jesus said in Luke 6:

38   Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again.

In Genesis chapter 12, FATHER spoke to Abraham:

2 ​​I will make you a great nation;

​​I will bless you

​​And make your name great;

​​And you shall be a blessing [a source of great good to others].

FATHER has blessed my family and as a result, we have been a blessing to others.  That is how the Kingdom operates.

Confess The Word

May 25th, 2019

Confessing The Word is a necessary to fully embracing It in your life.  Why do you think we speak forth the Pledge of Allegiance here in The United States?  It is to acknowledge and embrace the words in our hearts as well as our minds.  When we hear ourselves speak the words, there is a deeper commitment than silently reading the Pledge.  This is true concerning The Word for it is written by THE SPIRIT in Psalm 45:

1 My heart is overflowing with a good theme;

​​I recite my composition concerning the King;

​​My tongue is the pen of a ready writer.

Our tongue writes and records into our hearts.  This is a reality I have confirmed to be true in my life over the last forty-eight years.  This reality has caused me to watch my words as people have attempted to obtain my agreement when I knew them to be wrong.  When I speak The Word, I profess to be in agreement with It by speaking It forth.

Wisdom spoke Proverbs 3:

1 My son, do not forget my law,

​​But let your heart keep my commands;

2 ​​For length of days and long life

​​And peace they will add to you.

​3 ​​Let not mercy and truth forsake you;

​​Bind them around your neck,

​​Write them on the tablet of your heart,

4 ​​ And so find favor and high esteem

​​In the sight of God and man.

Wisdom tells us to write The Word on our hearts and this is done by reading and confessing The Word so that our own ears will hear The Truth.  When we do this, life and peace will be added to us.  In addition, we will find favor in the sight of Our Heavenly Father and mankind.  Jesus experienced this as He prepared for His ministry as revealed in Luke 2:

52 And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and men.

I have seen over the years where men have been attracted to my gifts and calling thus I received favor in business dealings.  This brought forth financial blessings to my family which allowed us to be blessings to others as well.  Certain investments produced an excellent return even though similar investments by others did not produce the same results.  FATHER was definitely working on my behalf.

I would confess Colossians 1:10-11 on a daily basis to write It on my heart:

I walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God;

Strengthened with all might, according to his glorious power, unto all patience and longsuffering with joyfulness

If FATHER tells us in HIS WISDOM to do something specific, why resist it?  HE gives us specific steps to success in our lives if we will only heed HIS direction.

How long will it take for HIS Word to be written and fully activated in our hearts?  It varies from person to person and what is currently in the heart that is contrary to FATHER’S Word.  The Word will cleanse the heart of the world’s debris and it may take some time for this to occur.  Nevertheless, commit yourself to writing FATHER’S Word on the tablet of your heart and It will soon become one with you.
