The following link is such a great and intense expression of Love, I believe it deserves your intense contemplation and should be read and reread. It encapsulates the meaning of becoming pure, mature Sons and Daughters who make up the Bride of Christ.

What is a teacher? One who imparts instruction, instills doctrine into one, explains or expound a thing, teaches one something, enlightens the student to facts and truth about a topic. It is the teacher’s responsibility to convey something to the recipient which is unaware or uneducated in a particular facet. The student most often does not even “know what question to ask” else he or she would not need to be taught about the subject.
Matthew recorded by THE SPIRIT in chapter 4:
23 And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all kinds of sickness and all kinds of disease among the people.
24 Then His fame went throughout all Syria; and they brought to Him all sick people who were afflicted with various diseases and torments, and those who were demon-possessed, epileptics, and paralytics; and He healed them.
25 Great multitudes followed Him—from Galilee, and from Decapolis, Jerusalem, Judea, and beyond the Jordan.
In chapter 7:
24 “Therefore whoever hears these sayings of Mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on the rock:
25 and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it did not fall, for it was founded on the rock.
26 “But everyone who hears these sayings of Mine, and does not do them, will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand:
27 and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it fell. And great was its fall.”
28 And so it was, when Jesus had ended these sayings, that the people were astonished at His teaching,
29 for He taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes.
In order for us to change, we must be taught and enlightened by those inspired by The Holy Spirit. How do we know if the teacher is conveying the facts and the Truth or the Kingdom? By the fruits. When you have been properly taught, you will begin to see positive changes in your life and will receive answers and revelation to the questions which have been unanswered in the past. It is all about equipping the saints for what lies ahead. FATHER is extremely interested in preparing each of us to be able to address all the challenges we will face and to walk in peace as we navigate through these challenges. It is up to each of us to become occupied with whatever FATHER wants us to learn at each stage in our personal development. Let us not grow weary in this time of preparation for there may be notable chaos and confusion ahead for those who rely on the world’s systems.
If Jesus’ ministry emphasized teaching and correction, so should we. It is up to those of us who are at a greater level of spiritual maturity to properly instruct the immature. Many of them do not even realize what they don’t know so don’t expect them to draw the revelation out of you. A good teacher will lead the student into all Truth. Many students may be astonished at your teaching but in their hearts, THE SPIRIT will witness to them the veracity of the teaching. Teaching is a central aspect of establishing the Kingdom.
My friend Alan wrote:
A few days back my daughter-in-law questioned me for an explanation; “Why am I suddenly being confronted with unicorns everywhere I look”? That wasn’t her exact wording, but that was the crux of the inquiry. The first thought that popped up in my mind was “I don’t know. I am not being confronted with unicorns”. And I felt a little jealous, and somewhat cheated; she was seeing something Spiritually that I was not. So, we started to talk, and here is some of what has since surfaced from her challenging inquiry.
The English word ‘unicorn’ is a western expression of the original Latin word ‘unicornus ‘ literally translated from two thoughts; ‘one (uni; unique) horn (kornis)’. Unicorn is literally ‘one horn’. The Spiritual implications of this concept began to flood over me, and I’m still trying to put the pieces into place.
When we consider all of the ‘horned’ animals referred to in scripture, and which were designated as sacrificially acceptable, we see that all of these ‘beasts’ have two horns; duality. I found myself dumbfounded at not having already acknowledged this simplicity. I won’t belabor the implications of duality versus singularity; you know all of that as well as I. What I find stunning, however, is that the vast majority of history has relegated the unicorn to the realm of fantasy; mythology; an imaginary impossibility. Only in the Mind of Christ can we begin to see, and begin to accept, the possibility of Oneness; complete Unity. To be One with Father is to be ‘unicorn’. Yashua told us, “Though you have two eyes, let your Eye be single”. (My paraphrase). Yashua was challenging us to be single-minded; unity of purpose and unity of expression. [James 1:8, 4:8]
Most of us, as Believers, can readily embrace the idea of ‘uni’, even if we can’t imagine ourselves ever being ‘uni’. We accept the idea that sometime, somewhere or somehow, God Our Father can accomplish the task of unifying us with Him. We ‘believe’ that Our Father has the potential to bring that to pass. But what we struggle with imagining is how that ‘uni’ could possibly apply to me (us) as individuals. How can I be One (uni) with My Father. And yet Yashua ‘prayed’, “Father, let them be One with You as I AM One with You”. [John 17:21-23]
The crux (uh oh, I’ve used that word again) of this dilemma is in the word ‘corn ‘, which is a hold-over from the Latin ‘unicornus ‘, a word used to describe having ‘one horn’. So; what is special in the idea of a single horn? What does a horn represent? What do the ‘horns of the alter’ communicate to us? What about the ‘ram’s horns’ (shophar) that the trumpeters used to sound out messages to the encampment? What is the primary purpose of a horn, if not solely to send forth a communication that the receivers thereof can readily understand, interpret and accept? Is not a ‘horn’ a direct communication, intended to be easily understood? And when a horn is sounded, it is not intended to be received and/or understood by only a discreet few, while the other hearers are left in confusion and dismay. Granted, there may be only a select few that truly understand what specific message the ‘trumpeter’ is communicating, but there is no way to control who hears the ‘blast’, and who does not. A horn is a communication to “…whom so ever will hear”. A ‘unicorn’ is a communication to “…whom so ever will see”.
Duality, or double mindedness, is a condition that we as Believers are told to avoid. And if as Believers we are to be single eyed and single minded, are we not also to be singular in our communication; of who we are, and of our purpose and intent? And how are we to accomplish any of this unless we are One with Our Father? My communication to my daughter concerning the significance of unicorns popping up all over is as follows: I believe Our Father, via the Holy Spirit of God within us, is bringing the uniqueness of the unicorn to our attention, telling us it is time to acknowledge and pursue being One with Our Father in Heaven. And the Kingdom of Heaven is within us; all of us. We may have never recognized that concept previously, but I truly believe a major aspect of The Third Day is in our beginning to acknowledge the reality of the Kingdom of Heaven within.
Does God use the ‘signs’ in the constellations to communicate to us a Spiritual Kingdom message? First the natural, then the Spiritual. Does Our Father have the ‘sense of humor’ to communicate to us about His Nature and his pageant in horse races, football games, the fish of the sea and the fowls of the air (literally, heavenlies)? First the natural, then the Spiritual. Does Our Father have the ability to awaken us to the chaos we are creating in our carnality and selfishness by using storms and weather oddities to speak to us? First the natural, then the Spiritual. Can Our Father also use the age-old symbol of the unicorn, hidden in plain view for thousands of years, to call us to the ultimate purpose of our being One with Him? I declare, unabashedly and un-reservedly, Yes and Amen! First the Natural, then the Spiritual.
The word ‘unicorn’ shows up only nine times in scripture; six times as singular, and three times as plural. The massive volume of Spiritual information involved in the Hebrew word translated as ‘unicorn’ is much too deep to dive into in this brief. However, the unique use of the Hebrew word translated as ‘unicorn’ is actually used ten times in the scripture. Nine times this unique expression is translated as ‘unicorn’. The tenth time, in Zechariah 14:10, it is translated as “…shall be lifted up,” The ‘unicorn’ is one that is “…lifted up” by being single minded; One with Father. WoW!!! How simple!
When we begin to have the courage to declare we are One with Our Father, just as Yashua prayed for us to be, we will start to hear a different communication from our own mouths. We will become a different kind of horn. We will realize we are becoming a ‘unicorn’; singular in vision, singular in sound and singular in purpose and intent. When we begin to acknowledge our being One with Our Father, we will begin to be the manifestation of Christ that Our Father always intended us to be. “When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at will begin to change”. I am reminded, as I write this, that 2019 is to be a time of ‘hearing’ like we have never ‘heard’ before. In Strong’s Greek, #2019 is ‘epiphoneo’.
I’m going out to get a unicorn.
Shalom, Y’all!
Isaiah recorded by THE SPIRIT in chapter 55 The Words of Our Heavenly Father:
1 “Ho! Everyone who thirsts, Come to the waters; And you who have no money, Come, buy and eat. Yes, come, buy wine and milk Without money and without price.
2 Why do you spend money for what is not bread, And your wages for what does not satisfy? Listen carefully to Me, and eat what is good, And let your soul delight itself in abundance.
3 Incline your ear, and come to Me (Ask). Hear, and your soul shall live; And I will make an everlasting covenant with you— The sure mercies of David.
4 Indeed I have given him as a witness to the people, A leader and commander for the people.
5 Surely you shall call a nation you do not know, And nations who do not know you shall run to you, Because of the LORD your God, And the Holy One of Israel; For He has glorified you.”
6 Seek the LORD while He may be found, Call upon Him (knock) while He is near.
7 Let the wicked forsake his way, And the unrighteous man his thoughts; Let him return to the LORD, And He will have mercy on him; And to our God, For He will abundantly pardon.
In the above passage, FATHER communicates the essence of what Jesus spoke in Matthew chapter 7:7-8. Further, FATHER explains to us that there is a definite separation between where most people reside and where FATHER resides:
8 “For My thoughts are not your thoughts,
Nor are your ways My ways,” says the LORD.
9 “For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
So are My ways higher than your ways,
And My thoughts than your thoughts.”
There is a lower sense realm and a higher Spiritual realm with a definite separation. If we want to access HIS thoughts and ways, we must ascend to the level where FATHER resides. This level is accessible for HE said that HE can be found in verse 6. The children of Israel were invited to reside in this higher level of existence in order that FATHER could bless them with an abundant life when HE spoke “Listen carefully to Me, and eat what is good, And let your soul delight itself in abundance.” FATHER further spoke:
10 “For as the rain comes down, and the snow from heaven, And do not return there, But water the earth, And make it bring forth and bud, That it may give seed to the sower And bread to the eater,
11 So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth; It shall not return to Me void, But it shall accomplish what I please, And it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it.
12 “For you shall go out with joy, And be led out with peace; The mountains and the hills Shall break forth into singing before you, And all the trees of the field shall clap their hands.”
When we access this higher realm in a lawful manner by entering through the door (Jesus Christ), we are invited to walk in an abundant life filled with joy and peace. We are to produce good fruit which in turn will provide all with bread to eat and additional seed to sow for the future. Peace will precede our steps as we walk into various situations of chaos and turbulence. I have personally seen and experienced this phenomenon many times in the past. Let us walk according to FATHER’S Word and reaffirmed by Our Lord Jesus Christ. BOTH invited us to occupy this higher realm of a life filled with abundant living where not only our needs are met, but we become conduits to meet the needs of those around us no matter what situation we encounter. Let us fully embrace the Words of Jesus when He spoke in John chapter 10:
9 “I am the door. If anyone enters by Me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture.
10 The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.”
The term “door” expresses an entrance which separates two distinct areas which can be restricted by the closing of the entrance by an efficient barrier. A door is meant to be opened or closed by the intent of one who has authority over the door in some manner. The term “knock” is an expressed notice requesting lawful entrance through a door. In Matthew chapter 7, Jesus spoke:
7 “Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.
8 For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened.”
There are many facets to the above passage, but let’s consider the simplicity of what Jesus said. When He told us to ask and it will be given to us, what is to be given? How about directions to the door? If that be the case, then what is it that we are to seek? Once again, the answer is the door. Once we come face to face with the door, what are we to do? Knock with the expectation of the keeper of the door to open it to us so that we can enter through the door and access the restricted area which the door has been protecting from unlawful entrance. Though this may seem very basic to many, in a few words, Jesus conveyed an important spiritual reality.
There is a restricted area unknown to many else Jesus would not have first indicated that we should “ask”. He initiated the question about a mystery for each of us to become aware of in our spiritual walk. In essence, He said “Ask me about the door?” Until Jesus arrived on the scene, none of us knew there was a door to ask about. Once we are told to ask, Jesus willingly told us to seek it out so it must be FATHER’S Divine Intent for us to find the door. Otherwise, the mystery would remain hidden. Finally, we are told to knock which establishes an expectation for the door to be answered by the keeper of the door. Lastly, Jesus clearly states that the door will be answered and opened to us in order that we are able to gain lawful entry.
With this fundamental understanding, Jesus further spoke:
9 “Or what man is there among you who, if his son asks for bread, will give him a stone?
10 Or if he asks for a fish, will he give him a serpent?
11 If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask Him!
12 Therefore, whatever you want men to do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets.”
Once one enters lawfully through this door, Jesus immediately speaks of FATHER responding to those who ask HIM about receiving “good gifts”. Once we have entered this restricted area as instructed by Jesus, we do have access to good and advantageous gifts for our benefit. We now have access to the spiritual realm where we can and should communicate with Our Heavenly Father and ask HIM to meet our needs. We should have no reluctance to come boldly to HIM for Jesus urged us to ask, seek, and knock so that we could find this door in the first place. It is out of FATHER’S unconditional Love that we enter through the door and come boldly into HIS presence so that we have access to those good and advantageous gifts HE desires to give us.
Should I apologize for being a recipient of those good and advantageous gifts? Absolutely not! I simply took Jesus at HIS Word and FATHER has not only sustained me throughout the years but has blessed me and my family because of my willingness to believe and have faith IN HIM. You can go through life in scarcity or abundance, its your choice. I chose to ask, seek, and knock as Jesus instructed. I took Jesus at His Word which happens to be FATHER’S Word as well. Those good and advantageous gifts were not only spiritual in nature, but physical as well. Let us not restrict FATHER’S willingness to be a giver. In response to HIS giving to me, I have become a cheerful giver to others, thus emulating My Heavenly Father. How else would I respond once I received the Love revelation of ask, seek, and knock?
Jesus spoke in John chapter 10:
7 Then Jesus said to them again, “Most assuredly, I say to you, I am the door of the sheep.
8 All who ever came before Me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not hear them.
9 I am the door. If anyone enters by Me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture.
10 The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.”
There is no other door or entrance to lawful entry into the Heavenlies except through Christ Jesus. There are those who would deemphasize the work of Christ thereby exalting their own ministry. Their goal is to have followers who would submit to their teachings and by default, affirm their path to them. In the end, their fruit would prove to be meaningless and/or worthless to the Kingdom of FATHER’S dear Son Jesus Christ. Those teachers may have started out with good intentions but their egos prevailed and subtly took them off course from The Way of Jesus Christ. We must not allow ourselves to seek those intellectuals who by logic and reason would have us believe anything else but the exact Truth of Jesus Christ. If a ministry is not “Christ-centered” then beware!
Jesus continued in chapter 10:
22 Now it was the Feast of Dedication in Jerusalem, and it was winter.
23 And Jesus walked in the temple, in Solomon’s porch.
24 Then the Jews surrounded Him and said to Him, “How long do You keep us in doubt? If You are the Christ, tell us plainly.”
25 Jesus answered them, “I told you, and you do not believe. The works that I do in My Father’s name, they bear witness of Me.
26 But you do not believe, because you are not of My sheep, as I said to you.
27 My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me.
28 And I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; neither shall anyone snatch them out of My hand.
29 My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of My Father’s hand.
30 I and My Father are one.”
Our words and works should bare witness of Jesus Christ and exalt no one else but Him! As we mature, we must not allow those who are immature to exalt us in any manner but we should point them to Our Heavenly Father and Our Lord Jesus Christ. Without FATHER’S anointing, I am nothing. Without FATHER’S confirmations by His Holy Spirit, I have nothing to offer anyone. I am simply a vessel for HIS use for I have and will continue to surrender my life to HIM. These daily writings only exist because FATHER has designated me to write them by responding to The Holy Spirit. Each day I submit and surrender myself to HIS leading. Each time that you read these, I trust that they minister life to you, correction when needed, and encouragement when you are being challenged. We must let The Holy Spirit flow through us to give life to those around us. Our unconditional Love for others should be ever present as we are being led by THE SPIRIT. We must not allow this flow of life to be restricted in any fashion because our ego is not being tweaked by the recipient. Jesus was not disheartened when He was rejected in His ministry. Neither should we.
There is only one Way, one door to The Way, and we must purposefully direct those who have ears to hear and eyes to see toward The Door to eternal life. May Jesus Christ be exalted in our words and actions at all times.
In the Gospel of John, the Beloved Disciple wrote by THE SPIRIT in chapter 4:
5 So He (Jesus) came to a city of Samaria which is called Sychar, near the plot of ground that Jacob gave to his son Joseph.
6 Now Jacob’s well was there. Jesus therefore, being wearied from His journey, sat thus by the well. It was about the sixth hour.
7 A woman of Samaria came to draw water. Jesus said to her, “Give Me a drink.”
8 For His disciples had gone away into the city to buy food.
After some discussion with the woman, Jesus revealed who He was (and is):
21 Jesus said to her, “Woman, believe Me, the hour is coming when you will neither on this mountain, nor in Jerusalem, worship the Father.
22 You worship what you do not know; we know what we worship, for salvation is of the Jews.
23 But the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for the Father is seeking such to worship Him.
24 God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.”
25 The woman said to Him, “I know that Messiah is coming” (who is called Christ). “When He comes, He will tell us all things.”
26 Jesus said to her, “I who speak to you am He.”
For us to truly commune with FATHER, we must access HIM in the spirit realm but how do we access this realm? It is clear that there is a distinct separation between the physical realm and the spiritual realm. Additionally, Jesus reveals to us that there is a door that separates to the two realms. In John chapter 10, Jesus spoke:
1 “Most assuredly, I say to you, he who does not enter the sheepfold by the door, but climbs up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber.
2 But he who enters by the door is the shepherd of the sheep.
3 To him the doorkeeper opens, and the sheep hear his voice; and he calls his own sheep by name and leads them out.
4 And when he brings out his own sheep, he goes before them; and the sheep follow him, for they know his voice.”
A door is a specific opening designed to separate two areas and restrict access by some means when it is closed. It is meant to designate to the seeker that there is a lawful way to enter into an area because of its attachment to a wall of separation. Jesus clearly indicated that thieves and robbers would attempt to lawlessly access the restricted area by “climbing up some other way”. Let us pay close attention to what Jesus revealed- there is a door and there is a way to lawfully enter and a way to attempt lawless entry. By the fact that “hearing” is involved, the indication that there is a realm of hearing that is separated by the door.
What is this realm of restricted access? The spiritual realm. Jesus continued:
7 Then Jesus said to them again, “Most assuredly, I say to you, I am the door of the sheep.
8 All who ever came before Me are thieves and robbers, but the (true) sheep did not hear them.
9 I am the door. If anyone enters by Me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture.
10 The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.”
Jesus indicated there are two types of people who try to enter into the spirit realm by other means and adversely affect the welfare of the sheep- thieves and robbers.
The thieves are false teachers, who do not care to instruct men, but abuse their confidence for their own gain. They are embezzlers who use their position of trust to extract from others. Pilferers steal from us without using violence. Robbers are those who plunder by use of force in some manner. Jesus tells us there is a thief who comes to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. Both groups are lawless and operating against the sheep in a spiritual manner.
Anyone who attempts to access the spiritual realm by any means other than Christ is guilty of being a thief, robber, or both. Jesus declares that we are able to hear His Voice and He will lead us accordingly, to life and its abundance. We must never lose sight of this Truth. If Jesus is not at the center of our focus, we are probably subjecting ourselves to error and it will ultimately cost us in some form of loss. Additionally, He is the door to the higher spiritual realm of hearing and we must not lose sight of this reality as well. If you have difficulty in hearing FATHER, you may have subjected yourself to false teaching by those who are described as thieves by Jesus. We have been give The Holy Spirit to help s discern these false teachings and Jesus clearly warns us of the their existence. We must only access the higher realm of THE SPIRIT through the Door of Jesus and not attempt to access this restricted area by any other mean else we will become subject to judgment and its associated loss.
Paul wrote by THE SPIRIT in Galatians chapter 5:
5 For we [not relying on the Law but] through the [strength and power of the Holy] Spirit, by faith, are waiting [confidently] for the hope of righteousness [the completion of our salvation].
6 For [if we are] in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision means anything, but only faith activated and expressed and working through Agape Love. AMPL
An outworking of The Holy Spirit in our life is expressed by walking in Agape Love toward others. Some people will walk passively throughout life and fail to take the initiative to be a blessing to others. It is as though they want everyone else to seek a relationship with them rather be active and seek the best for everyone with whom they come in contact. You can sit by the phone all day and wait for someone to seek you out or you can go about doing good yourself and expressing Agape Love to those who are in need. The greater will always compensate and minister to the weaker.
It is recorded in Matthew chapter 4:
23 And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all kinds of sickness and all kinds of disease among the people.
24 Then His fame went throughout all Syria; and they brought to Him all sick people who were afflicted with various diseases and torments, and those who were demon-possessed, epileptics, and paralytics; and He healed them.
25 Great multitudes followed Him—from Galilee, and from Decapolis, Jerusalem, Judea, and beyond the Jordan.
Jesus Himself did not sit at the top of some mountain and wait for the crowds to seek out His ministry. He went out! It is further written in Matthew chapter 9:
35 Then Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every sickness and every disease among the people.
36 But when He saw the multitudes, He was moved with compassion for them, because they were weary and scattered, like sheep having no shepherd.
37 Then He said to His disciples, “The harvest truly is plentiful, but the laborers are few.
38 Therefore pray the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest.”
Jesus spread The Gospel in an active manner. Aren’t we called to spread The Gospel in the same manner? Isn’t spreading Love an aspect of spreading The Gospel in its purest form? Love is active in expressing Its intent and we will become more active as we walk in a greater revelation of Divine Love. We will produce fruit to feed to those we encounter who may not realize they are in desperate need of the fruit we are dispensing. We too will be moved with compassion toward those who are weary and scattered. Is the current harvest of souls any less important than what Jesus saw when He walked the earth? When we do nothing, we hinder the flow of The Holy Spirit through us toward others. Sometimes, we need to “prime the pump” in order to initiate the flow through us. The Holy Spirit awaits our decision to act in submission to the directives expressed by FATHER’S Dear Son when He said “Go into all the world”.
Paul wrote by THE SPIRIT in Galatians chapter 3:
1 O foolish Galatians! Who has bewitched you that you should not obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ was clearly portrayed among you as crucified?
2 This only I want to learn from you: Did you receive the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?
3 Are you so foolish? Having begun in the Spirit, are you now being made perfect by the flesh?
4 Have you suffered so many things in vain—if indeed it was in vain?
5 Therefore He who supplies the Spirit to you and works miracles among you, does He do it by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?—
6 just as Abraham “believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness.”
7 Therefore know that only those who are of faith are sons of Abraham.
8 And the Scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, preached the gospel to Abraham beforehand, saying, “In you all the nations shall be blessed.”
9 So then those who are of faith are blessed with believing Abraham.
We are constantly bombarded with rules, guidelines, and standardized methods which claim to produce desired outcomes in our lives. There are a multitude of books at the local bookstore on self help which cover almost every area of interest one can fathom. Do you want to lose weight, become happy, deal with depression, get rich, etc.? Someone has written a book on the topic with a set of rules or guidelines to achieve your goals… or so they claim.
Why not have faith in GOD instead? Why not ask The Holy Spirit to lead you and guide you into all Truth concerning your specific situation? The Galatians in the above passage are being chastised for attempting to be made perfect by the flesh through the works of the law. Do you think Abraham and Sarah were going to follow a book on the “Five Steps to a Successful Pregnancy After the Age of 80”? No, he simply believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness. Abraham had faith in FATHER’S Word to him and did not rely on the knowledge, understanding, or wisdom of the world in order to fulfill what FATHER told him.
If we want to be fruitful in life, we should believe FATHER’S Word to us in the same manner, we must have faith in GOD rather than trust in some physical set of rules, guidelines, or methods. Each of us has a set of unique needs in our life and FATHER is will aware of those unique needs. The Holy Spirit will guide us into all Truth. Jesus spoke in John chapter 16:
12 “I still have many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now.
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.”
When we make the decision to live according to the directives of The Holy Spirit, life will become rich and fruitful in all areas of our life. Our stress will be replaced by peace and our bodies will begin to change and line up with The Word. Sarah was barren but in the end her womb came alive and bore Abraham the promised son. This was accomplished through faith in GOD, not some set of rules man surmised to produce the seemingly impossible. As we become immersed in being led by The Holy Spirit and submitting to FATHER’S Word, we should expect similar results. We should expect our bodies to respond and conform to HIS Word. We should expect by faith to have all our needs met. As our desires become aligned with FATHER’S Divine Intent of Love, our desires will be fulfilled as well. Let us set aside the foolishness promoted by the world and seek HIS Face today!
I fully understand where this man is coming from in his encounter with FATHER and Our Lord Jesus Christ:
