Example Of A Mature Son

August 3rd, 2018

All who read this site frequently have a desire to see the Kingdom of Our Heavenly Father expand throughout the earth.  How will it expand if you and I don’t ascend to full maturity?  Do we think that FATHER will somehow suddenly send each of us a special anointing on a specific date beyond what is already accounted for in HIS Word?  The disciples spent 3 1/2 years with Our Lord Jesus Christ in preparation of their ministry and we see their weaknesses arising from their immaturity throughout the Gospels.  Yet their weaknesses did not deter Jesus from preparing them to spread the Gospel.  Instead, we are encouraged by the fact that Jesus selected average men, some who were fishermen, to be prepared to expand the Kingdom of GOD after His departure.  Peter is a great example.

In Acts chapter 5, it is written by THE SPIRIT:

12 And through the hands of the apostles many signs and wonders were done among the people. And they were all with one accord in Solomon’s Porch.

13 Yet none of the rest dared join them, but the people esteemed them highly.

14 And believers were increasingly added to the Lord, multitudes of both men and women,

15 so that they brought the sick out into the streets and laid them on beds and couches, that at least the shadow of Peter passing by might fall on some of them.

16 Also a multitude gathered from the surrounding cities to Jerusalem, bringing sick people and those who were tormented by unclean spirits, and they were all healed.

The above event could have easily been described in the Gospels where Jesus’ shadow would have had the same result yet it was the shadow of Peter in this instance.  This former fisherman was now walking in a great anointing and producing the same results as the ministry of Jesus.  Even his shadow was considered enough for people to receive their healing.  There were those who were unable to be in such close proximity yet they were healed as well.  Shouldn’t we come to expect similar results as well?  I believe so, and as we move toward full maturity, our expectations of similar events will no longer be a distant or nonexistent thought.  It is not by our might but by HIS SPIRIT that we will be used to minister in the same manner.

People hunger for the supernatural as confirmed by all the movies being released these days.  The movies can simulate the supernatural but FATHER is the Source of true power and authority superseding man’s current condition.  HE has given us the roadmap to maturity and the choice to follow The Way or choose other paths which lead to destruction.  FATHER has given us examples such as the one above to encourage us as we pursue a deeper relationship with HIM.  HE has a solid plan to spread the Gospel to the uttermost parts of the earth and HE has determined to raise a remnant who will die to the flesh and be led by THE SPIRIT to accomplish HIS plan.

I encourage you to let the past failures go as well as any misperception about your ability to ascend to full maturity in your calling.  Each of us has a specific function to fulfill in the Body of Christ and FATHER has accounted for the resources required to achieve our individual callings.  The only thing lacking at the individual level is a delay in the maturing process.  We must not allow worldly matters to impede our progress and this is one reason I believe FATHER has me write to you daily.  We have all fallen short of HIS Glory in the past, but the past is no more.  Nobody knows this Truth better than Paul when he expressed his past failures.  Let each of us press in for the time is now to prepare for what lies ahead.  Otherwise, we will only be observers of HIS Power and Authority.  I say press in!

The Coming Standard

August 2nd, 2018

An article from Kemper:

For anything to exist it must have been created by the Word of God.  The created man, in his rebellion, invented the lie that he could sustain himself outside of God’s Word. This principle is contrary to God’s Word and is condemned unto the destruction of its nonexistence. Man must provide the energy needed to maintain his own agenda which is unsustainable. Rather than entering God’s rest through obedience of faith, man is consumed by wrestling thorns and thistles of his own planting. Yet in the end, every plant which our heavenly Father hath not planted, shall be rooted up (Mathew 15:13).

The lie that man has endeavored to substantiate is only able to linger in the absence of truth. Once the truth is revealed and that standard is present, the deception can no longer be maintained and the lies are destroyed. Yet God in His mercy has sustained man in spite of his rebellion by hiding the truth in a mystery unseen by the carnal man. Thus diverting his judgment to the end of the age when the Standard of Truth is revealed in the earth. At such a point, believing becomes a response to seeing.

This hidden truth is sought out by those desiring to return to God. Even the mystery which hath been hid from ages and from generations, but now is made manifest to his saints. To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory (Colossians 1:26-27). For God has called the saints by His grace and they are responding as they ask, seek and knock to know the truth. Proverbs 25:2 states, It is the glory of God to conceal a thing but the honor of kings is to search out a matter.

Those who have answered the call of grace have consented to the truth and its purifying attributes. Upon such purification is God seen (Matthew 5:8).  1 John 3:2-3 declares when we see him we shall be like him and those who have this hope purifies themselves as they come to the light of the truth. Yet those who are evil resist the light lest their deeds be reproved (John 3:20). When man refuses to purify himself by coming to the light, the light will come to him. The “day of the Lord” is his visitation with the Truth, wherein he will experience the purification of sudden destruction. By mercy and truth iniquity is purged: and the fear of the LORD men depart from evil (Proverbs 16:6).

Those who look forward to His appearing purify themselves in preparation for His visitation. This willful pursuit of purification hastens His return. Wherefore he saith, Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light. See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise, Redeeming the time, because the days are evil. Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is. And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit (Ephesians 5:14-18). These pursuers are the saints who Looking for and hasting unto  the coming of the day of God (2Peter 3:12), become the firstfruits who are changed into His likeness, by whom Christ’s image is manifested unto the world as the standard by which all is to be judged. Without the presence of such a standard for all to see judgment cannot take place.

Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen (Revelations 1:7). John states that every eye shall see Him and when we see Him we will be like Him. For us to be like Him, that which does not conform after the image of Christ is destroyed. This is the death of the old man. For no man shall see His face and live (Exodus 33:20). Wherefore, as the standard appears, men cry out to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb (Revelation 6:16).

Those who pursue the call of grace are a cooperate body of God’s elect, who becoming a standard, will introduce the Truth to the rest of the world, causing the destruction of all that hasn’t been established by His Word. For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape (1 Thessalonians 5:3). This coming tribulation is the ungodly being reduced to nothing. The saints pursue and apprehend this quality willfully, which once it is apprehended is transferred upon the ungodly as the prophet Isaiah records in 51:22-23,
Thus saith thy Lord the LORD, and thy God that pleadeth the cause of his people, Behold, I have taken out of thine hand the cup of trembling, even the dregs of the cup of my fury; thou shalt no more drink it again: But I will put it into the hand of them that afflict thee; which have said to thy soul, Bow down, that we may go over: and thou hast laid thy body as the ground, and as the street, to them that went over.

This “tribulation transfer” comes upon the completion of our sanctification as Paul shares in 2 Corinthians 10:6; And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled. Those who pursue the truth discard their self preserving agenda in favor of abiding in the way of truth as it is revealed by the Holy Spirit. The destruction of those resistant to the truth is an unavoidable violent yet freeing end as this standard appears. For, Ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free (John 8:32). It should be understood that all become undone, but each have their own threshold at which they succumb. Its recorded in 1Corinthians 15:22-23, For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive. But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits (the Standard); afterward they that are Christ’s at his coming.

Seeking The Miraculous

August 1st, 2018

Mankind has an innermost desire for miracles.  You only have to look at Hollywood’s action-oriented movies to see what draws people to the theatre.  Super heroes imitate the miraculous in scene after scene.  Movie after movie depicts the hero winning against all odds and defying death at the hands of the villain.  Man is intrigued by any event which defies his knowledge and understanding… miracles fall into this category.  Peter spoke by THE SPIRIT in Acts chapter 2:

22 “Men of Israel, hear these words: Jesus of Nazareth, a Man attested by God to you by miracles, wonders, and signs which God did through Him in your midst, as you yourselves also know—

23 Him, being delivered by the determined purpose and foreknowledge of God, you have taken by lawless hands, have crucified, and put to death;

24 whom God raised up, having loosed the pains of death, because it was not possible that He should be held by it.”

Throughout the Gospels, Jesus performed many miracles which were meant to confirm FATHER’S Word which He spoke to those who would have ears to hear.  Lack of faith and unbelief were the deterrents to the effectiveness of miracles.  The crowds were drawn to His message because of The Word being confirmed by signs and wonders, or miracles.  Without the confirming miracles, FATHER’S Word would have been viewed as another philosophy.  The word “attested” means to bear witness to; certify; declare to be correct, true, or genuine; declare the truth of, thus FATHER confirmed HIS Word spoken through HIS Son for all the world to be put on notice.

Jesus spoke in Mark chapter 16:

15 And He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature. 16 He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned.

17 And these signs will follow those who believe: In My name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues;

18 they will take up serpents; and if they drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.”

19 So then, after the Lord had spoken to them, He was received up into heaven, and sat down at the right hand of God.

20 And they went out and preached everywhere, the Lord working with them and confirming the word through the accompanying signs. Amen.

As maturing Sons and Daughters of Our Heavenly Father, we should come to expect the same results as we preach The Word to the world.  Since Jesus is the same yesterday, today, and forever, we should not lower our expectations but we should expect FATHER to attest HIS Word spoken through us in the same manner as Our Elder Brother.  Isn’t this going to increase the Kingdom in a dramatic manner thus causing it to spread throughout the earth?  Won’t people flock to meetings when they hear about the miraculous occurring in their locale?  When the Azusa Street revival occurred in the early 20th century, people from all over the world traveled to Los Angeles to receive the baptism of The Holy Spirit.  From there it spread to various countries.  Though the movement started in Topeka, Kansas, it gained notoriety once the miraculous was to be found in L.A.  People desired the miraculous to operate in their lives then and it is no different now.

FATHER is willing to confirm HIS Word with accompanying signs so let us raise our expectations to HIS level as we go forth and speak HIS Word to those in need.  Jesus expected FATHER to confirm HIS Word and so should we.

Forget The Past

July 31st, 2018

Our Beloved Brother Paul 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 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

This passage is critical for us to embrace as Paul did in his life.  WE MUST LET OUR PAST GO!  It is no longer relevant to those who have been redeemed by the Blood of The Lamb.  Many of us have had to forgive those in the past who have negatively impacted our lives.  Those deep-seated hurts have been like heavy weights keeping us from ascending higher.  As we forgive because of our revelation of unconditional Love, those weights are cut away and we are no longer held down by our past.

Some have been hurt by parents’ words and actions.  Those events are often walled up in our hearts so that the pain is encapsulated in order to protect our consciousness.  We must bust down those walls and remove those events by means of expressing our forgiveness.  When can speak forgiveness to those even though they may have physically passed away.  As we vocally express our forgiveness, we release the past and the associated pain.  It matters not if the other person changes even though it is our hope that they do.  When we forgive, it changes us!

As we remove those weights, we can focus on the “now” and reach forward to what lies ahead, our upward call of our purpose.  Paul notes that as who have matured will have this attitude in our pursuit of spiritual perfection.  Those who have yet embraced this revelation will receive it as FATHER makes it clear.  Let us not keep revisiting the past for it only serves to draw our focus away from the present.  Paul also wrote in 2 Corinthians chapter 5:

17  Therefore if anyone is in Christ [that is, grafted in, joined to Him by faith in Him as Savior], he is a new creature [reborn and renewed by the Holy Spirit]; the old things [the previous moral and spiritual condition] have passed away. Behold, new things have come [because spiritual awakening brings a new life].

We too have done harm in the past but we are no longer that old “man” for we have been reborn and renewed by the Holy Spirit.  Let us ask to be forgiven as is applicable and move on.  Some will accept our apologies and some will not.  If those we have wronged don’t accept our apology, it is now their problem, not ours.  Jesus clearly stated in Matthew chapter 6:

14 “For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.

15 But if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.”

Forgiveness is the cornerstone of moving forward in life.  It allows people to forget the past and move on toward maturity.  Let’s deal with the past once and for all so that we can fulfill our purpose!

Seeing Faith

July 30th, 2018

By THE SPIRIT, it is written in Hebrews chapter 11:

27 By faith he (Moses) forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king; for he endured as seeing Him who is invisible.

28 By faith he kept the Passover and the sprinkling of blood, lest he who destroyed the firstborn should touch them.

29 By faith they passed through the Red Sea as by dry land, whereas the Egyptians, attempting to do so, were drowned.

Moses was used mightily by FATHER to deliver the children of Israel out of Egypt because he acted on faith in GOD.  He heard The Word and acted upon It and when the angel saw the faith of the Israelites during the first Passover, the angel honored their faith and did not destroy their firstborn.

In Luke chapter 24, Jesus spoke:

46 Then He (Jesus) said to them, “Thus it is written, and thus it was necessary for the Christ to suffer and to rise from the dead the third day,

47 and that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in His name to all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.

48 And you are witnesses of these things.

49 Behold, I send the Promise of My Father upon you; but tarry in the city of Jerusalem until you are endued with power from on high.”

By faith, the disciples did as Jesus instructed and were rewarded in doing so.  They saw Jesus’ faith when He submitted to the cross for the benefit of mankind.  They saw an empty tomb which reaffirmed their faith in the Words of Jesus and then He appeared to them and spoke to them in the above passage.  Then they acted on their faith and proceeded to Jerusalem and because of their faith, they continually praised and blessed GOD:

50 And He led them out as far as Bethany, and He lifted up His hands and blessed them.

51 Now it came to pass, while He blessed them, that He was parted from them and carried up into heaven.

52 And they worshiped Him, and returned to Jerusalem with great joy,

53 and were continually in the temple praising and blessing God. Amen.

Their praise occurred before the manifestation of the Day of Pentecost.  The disciples’ faith saw the coming of the Comforter in THE SPIRIT before the manifestation.  Shouldn’t we praise and bless Our Heavenly Father for the fulfillment of the feast of Tabernacles prior to its manifestation?  Are we able to see by faith its full impartation?  Does FATHER see your and my faith, expecting to be endued with power from On High?  Let us set our expectation of being fully matured Sons and Daughters as we continue to praise and bless Our Heavenly Father for bringing forth the fullness of anointing into manifestation.  The past is the past so let it stay there and do not live in it any longer.  Now is the time for our faith to express the expectation of full maturity coming forth and rising up within us.  We are enduring the current circumstance as we are seeing HIM Who is invisible bring forth the fullness to those of us willing to see by faith.

Prophetic Fruit

July 29th, 2018

Mark Taylor, a retired firefighter (like my friend Kemper), prophesied of Donald Trump’s election before Donald Trump announced his candidacy.  This prophecy produced its intended fruit.  There are other prophetic words which are now coming to pass.  As Mark says, GOD does not tell him when or how these prophecies are going to come to pass.  Yes, Mark has opinions about the prophecies’ implications, but let us focus on the prophecies and allow him to give his commentary based on his current understanding.  The following interview provides us with some of those prophetic words:

As always, we are to be fruit inspectors.

A Warning

July 28th, 2018

By THE SPIRIT, Jeremiah recorded the WORD of GOD to warn both those who prophesy:

25 “I have heard what the prophets have said who prophesy lies in My name, saying, ‘I have dreamed, I have dreamed!’ 26 How long will this be in the heart of the prophets who prophesy lies? Indeed they are prophets of the deceit of their own heart, 27 who try to make My people forget My name by their dreams which everyone tells his neighbor, as their fathers forgot My name for Baal.

​28 ​​“The prophet who has a dream, let him tell a dream;

​​And he who has My word, let him speak My word faithfully.

​​What is the chaff to the wheat?” says the LORD.

29 ​​“Is not My word like a fire?” says the LORD,

​​“And like a hammer that breaks the rock in pieces?

​30 “Therefore behold, I am against the prophets,” says the LORD, “who steal My words every one from his neighbor. 31 Behold, I am against the prophets,” says the LORD, “who use their tongues and say, ‘He says.’ 32 Behold, I am against those who prophesy false dreams,” says the LORD, “and tell them, and cause My people to err by their lies and by their recklessness. Yet I did not send them or command them; therefore they shall not profit this people at all,” says the LORD.

33 “So when these people or the prophet or the priest ask you, saying, ‘What is the oracle of the LORD?’ you shall then say to them, ‘What oracle?’ I will even forsake you,” says the LORD. 34 “And as for the prophet and the priest and the people who say, ‘The oracle of the LORD!’ I will even punish that man and his house. 35 Thus every one of you shall say to his neighbor, and every one to his brother, ‘What has the LORD answered?’ and, ‘What has the LORD spoken?’ 36 And the oracle of the LORD you shall mention no more. For every man’s word will be his oracle, for you have perverted the words of the living God, the LORD of hosts, our God. 37 Thus you shall say to the prophet, ‘What has the LORD answered you?’ and, ‘What has the LORD spoken?’ 38 But since you say, ‘The oracle of the LORD!’ therefore thus says the LORD: ‘Because you say this word, “The oracle of the LORD!” and I have sent to you, saying, “Do not say, ‘The oracle of the LORD!’ ” 39 therefore behold, I, even I, will utterly forget you and forsake you, and the city that I gave you and your fathers, and will cast you out of My presence. 40 And I will bring an everlasting reproach upon you, and a perpetual shame, which shall not be forgotten.’ ”

When men pervert the Words of Our Heavenly Father, they subject themselves to judgment.  Those who listen and rely on their words, will begin to see less fruit in their own lives… even no fruit.  Their callings will become unproductive due to their reliance on the false prophet’s words.  Does a Word filled with 90% Truth and 10% error produced good fruit?  No.  We are to live by the pure Word of GOD, not tainted by man’s bias and ego.

In the past, I unknowingly have been swayed by the words of false prophets and caused myself much grief as a result.  Their words seem to be true but were hard for me to confirm because of their complexity surrounded by “facts”.  They appealed to my ego thus I more readily accepted them as Truth.  Didn’t the same thing happen to Adam and Eve?  This is why I advocate each of us pursuing the revelation of Love and being led by The Holy Spirit so that we know FATHER’S Voice and we know HE will guide us unto all Truth.  HE will confirm HIS Word given to us by those who claim to prophesy of future events.

People tend to have short memories when it comes to unfulfilled prophetic Words.  People who don’t know the Word will readily embrace a prophecy if it appeals to their soulish man.  Others will hear the prophecy and will disregard The Holy Spirit’s warning.  Let us no longer be taken in and have our focus redirected from the pure Word.  As we grow closer to FATHER, we will be able to discern whether men’s and women’s prophecies are true or false.  FATHER will judge the false prophets thus we should steer clear of them and should not be surprised when judgment arrives for HE will cast them out of HIS Presence.

That’s My King by S.M. Lockridge

For ever

Then
Amen

Fully Embracing HIS SPIRIT

July 26th, 2018

Isaiah wrote by THE SPIRIT in chapter 11:

1 There shall come forth a Rod from the stem of Jesse,

​​And a Branch shall grow out of his roots.

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.

Jesus transitioned us from the external to the internal when He went to FATHER and sent The Holy Spirit.  Jesus spoke in Luke chapter 24:

49 “Behold, I send the Promise of My Father upon you; but tarry in the city of Jerusalem until you are endued with power from on high.”

Are we willing to accept the same promise as the disciples?  We have been lulled into believing that there is something further required to be sent on some future date in order for us to walk in HIS power and authority.  If The Holy Spirit resides on the inside of us, shouldn’t we come to expect the fullness of HIS SPIRIT’S operation to come forth at some point within us?  Do we dare to believe we have within us everything we need in order to arise into full maturity as Sons and Daughters of THE MOST HIGH GOD?

Paul wrote by THE SPIRIT in 2 Corinthians chapter 1:

20 For all the promises of God in Him are Yes, and in Him Amen, to the glory of God through us.

21 Now He who establishes us with you in Christ and has anointed us is God,

22 who also has sealed us and given us the Spirit in our hearts as a guarantee (an earnest).

An earnest is: a pledge, i.e. part of the purchase-money or property given in advance as security for the rest.  I have heard this passage preached many times that we only received a portion of The Holy Spirit versus that which Jesus walked in, as though we are incomplete.  Yet Jesus proclaimed we would do greater things than Him because He goes to THE FATHER.  The earnest or guarantee is as a seed which must be watered with the Word and will grow stronger within us.  We have a sufficiency in having The Holy Spirit in us so that the Kingdom will grow within us until we are fully mature and walk according to FATHER’S Word and expectation.

Our biggest hindrance is our mind in its orientation to scarcity and low expectations.  We need to no longer restrict our expectations and allow The Holy Spirit full reign within us.  We should expect The Holy Spirit to lead and guide us into the fullness of walking in THE SPIRIT.  As we do, we will improve our ability to hear FATHER’S Voice and directives.  As this occurs, peace will prevail in all our thoughts and actions though there may be chaos all around us.  Anxiety will depart and depression will not be found among us.  We will no longer be moved by evil reports because we know Our Provider and Healer will prevail over our situation.  Let us full embrace HIS SPIRIT for FATHER has established us in Christ and has anointed us to fulfill HIS Divine Intent.  Now is the time to expect the anointing to come forth.
