Our Words

June 6th, 2018

Jesus spoke in John chapter 12:

49 “For I have not spoken on My own authority; but the Father who sent Me gave Me a command, what I should say and what I should speak.

50 And I know that His command is everlasting life. Therefore, whatever I speak, just as the Father has told Me, so I speak.”

Those of us who desire to be fully led by THE SPIRIT will begin to pay close attention to the words we speak.  We either speak words of life or words of death, it is our decision.  If our words are motivated by Agape Love, we will bless those around us and lift them up higher.  Yet if we speak with “self” as our motivation, we will disparage and exalt ourselves over others.  Ultimately, our words will reflect what is in our heart and Jesus made this point in Matthew chapter 12:

33 “Either make the tree good and its fruit good, or else make the tree bad and its fruit bad; for a tree is known by its fruit.

34 Brood of vipers! How can you, being evil, speak good things? For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks.

35 A good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth good things, and an evil man out of the evil treasure brings forth evil things.

36 But I say to you that for every idle word men may speak, they will give account of it in the day of judgment.

37 For by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned.”

If given enough time with another person, you can find out what is in their heart because they will let their guard down and begin to reveal their fruit.  If we constantly listen to the world filled with men’s opinions, traditions, and motives, we will speak in a worldly fashion.  When we immerse ourselves in HIS Word, we will replace the world’s influence with HIS life-filled Word.  Let us not be ignorant of FATHER’S Word in any area of our life for it is the standard by which we can address issues that come before us.

We should guard our words and do as Jesus did: speak what FATHER has told us to speak by HIS  HOLY SPIRIT.  When we know not what to speak, consider saying nothing rather than attempting to fill in the silence with unfruitful words.

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

3 By faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that the things which are seen were not made of things which are visible.

Every Word FATHER speaks has power and authority behind It.  HIS Word could easily destroy a person if HE misspoke.  As we mature as Sons and Daughters and become one with The Word, we to will have the power and authority to speak life or death in a situation.  As we become One with The Word just as our Elder Brother Jesus is One with The Word, we must guard our words for they will become faith-filled Words and initiate change in people’s lives.  Love must become the source of all our words just as it is with FATHER.  Let us affirm others with our words and lift them up.

The integrity of FATHER’S WORD is the basis of our faith.  HIS Word performed a miracle in my when I received salvation.  HIS Word performed another miracle in me when I received the baptism of The Holy Spirit and the change in my life was remarkable.  In Hebrews chapter 4:

12 For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

There is sufficient power in HIS Word to change men’s hearts and resulting actions just as HE changed my heart in a miraculous fashion.  As we mature in our understanding and wisdom, we will place HIS Word above all else and our words will reflect the preeminence of being in unity with THE FATHER, Son, and Holy Spirit.  Our words will grow in power and authority.  We will come to expect miracles as we speak to the issues brought before us for our faith in HIS Word coming forth out of our mouths will be backed by HIS power and authority.  Let our words only bring forth life.

Another Report from Brazil

June 5th, 2018

The situation now is that part of truckers have taken a break and supplied food and fuel, others remain paralyzed in reserved areas. Facebook blocked people from posting videos of the population and other sectors’ protests in the country; Youtube also blocked others who were helping and supporting the civil unrest openly. But instant message apps and whatsapp groups of truckers and supporters are spreading news of another paralyzation next Monday and that people should stock food. The government raised fuel prices and deluded truckers with ridiculous deals. Truckers and part of the population still call for intervention as MSM (mainstream media) demonize them. Many don’t believe the military will intervene saying they are sold out, but others strongly affirm that God is in this and will surely use them and that the pyramid is going to be toppled. Soldiers’ mothers have informed last week their sons were called to the HQs.

Our fervent prayers for those in need availeth much no matter what country they reside in.

BY THE SPIRIT

June 5th, 2018

Those who frequent this site may have noticed that I frequently preface the writer’s word using the phrase “By THE SPIRIT”.  In 1 Thessalonians chapter 2, Paul wrote by THE SPIRIT:

13 For this reason we also thank God without ceasing, because when you received the word of God which you heard from us, you welcomed it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which also effectively works in you who believe.

In the early church, The Word was spoken by men who were wholly led by The Holy Spirit for the Gospels and Epistles had not yet been put in written form.  The anointed Word was simply spoken to the people and their hearts openly received It.  By THE SPIRIT, John wrote in chapter 1:

1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

2 He was in the beginning with God.

3 All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made.

4 In Him was life, and the life was the light of men.

5 And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it.

The writers of the New Testament had the Word abiding in them as they recorded what was given to them from FATHER by The Holy Spirit and confirmed by the Words and actions of Our Lord Jesus Christ, thus The Word fully represents Jesus Christ as the living Word.  There is no difference in reading The Word versus listening to Jesus standing before you.  In John chapter 16, Jesus spoke:

28  “I came forth from the Father and have come into the world. Again, I leave the world and go to the Father.”

FATHER and HIS Word which is HIS Divine Intent cannot be separated.  Neither can Jesus Christ Who is The Word made flesh nor His written Word.  I can attest to this Truth by the good fruit and miracles in my life produced by trusting in The Word.  No man’s logic or reasoning can convince me otherwise.  The Word has absolute integrity because FATHER watches over It to perform what HE has spoken and had written by HIS SPIRIT.

We must not become lax in studying, dwelling on, and meditating on The Word.  We should be careful in spending time being exposed to the world’s views, logic, and reasoning which will, by design, dilute our faith.  Jesus provided us the key to being led by THE SPIRIT in John chapter 8:

31 Then Jesus said to those Jews who believed Him, “If you abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed.

32 And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.”

Jesus spoke in John chapter 15:

4 “Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in Me.

5 I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing.

6 If anyone does not abide in Me, he is cast out as a branch and is withered; and they gather them and throw them into the fire, and they are burned.

7 If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, you will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you.

8 By this My Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit; so you will be My disciples.

9 As the Father loved Me, I also have loved you; abide in My love.

10 If you keep My commandments, you will abide in My love, just as I have kept My Father’s commandments and abide in His love.”

FATHER so Loved us HE sent HIS Word.  We are to abide, remain, dwell, and express HIS Word in all aspects of our life reflecting HIS Love for mankind.  Love will be the motivation of those who are truly abiding in The Word.  Love will be the motivation of the remnant who are being prepared for the great harvest.  Those who do not grasp this Truth will only observe the harvest from the outside looking in.  Those who come to abide in The Word in Love shall know the whole Truth which will make them free of the world’s influence.  As we abide in The Word and in HIS Love, we will truly be led BY THE SPIRIT.

Be Re-freshed

June 4th, 2018

In Jeremiah chapter1, FATHER spoke:

12 Then the LORD said to me, “You have seen well, for I am ready to perform My word.”

In 1 Kings chapter 8, Solomon spoke by Wisdom:

56 “Blessed be the LORD, who has given rest to His people Israel, according to all that He promised. There has not failed one word of all His good promise, which He promised through His servant Moses.”

Jesus spoke in Matthew chapter 24:

35 “Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will by no means pass away.”

The Angel spoke to Mary in Luke chapter 1:

37  “For no word from God shall be void of power.”   ASV

37  “For with God nothing [is or ever] shall be impossible.”  AMPL

The writings at this site are intended to supplement the study of FATHER’S Word, not replace it.  I purpose to always include Scriptures FATHER wants us to focus on for that particular day.  I urge each of you to clear your mind each day and simply read the Gospels and Epistles knowing that FATHER’S Word is specifically and personally written to you.  You do not need to rely on a theologian’s commentary to reveal what FATHER wants to show you that particular day.  Simply read HIS Word and The Holy Spirit will minister what is relevant to you at your stage of maturity.  Revelation has power whereas a commentary may only provide information subject to the writer’s perspective and reasoning.

It does not hurt to read or hear teaching by those called to the ministry but it should never replace our own study of The Word.  FATHER is only obligated to perform HIS pure Word and not reasonings, opinions, or perspectives of men who claim to represent themselves as experts.  A Ph.D. does not equate to some guarantee of revelation of The Word.  A 3rd grade dropout may have more revelation than the one with a Masters in Theology or Divinity.  Jesus had no college degree yet He walked in the fullness of FATHER’S Word with power and authority.  We are meant to walk in the same manner.

Those of us who have been believers for many years must refresh ourselves in The Word.  We must come with a pure heart, an open mind, and receive The Word with a new commitment to follow the revelation FATHER imparts to us.  Our current level of maturity allows us to see deeper into FATHER’S unfathomable Word and gain greater revelation.  We must allow The fiery Word to find and burn away the wood, hay, and stubble in the deepest crevices or our being and no longer allow the old man any life whatsoever.  Let no trappings of the world draw us away from the fullness of FATHER’S purpose in our lives, but let HIS Word be our only confession and not allow anything perverse come from our lips thus diluting HIS Word in our lives.

As we align ourselves with HIS Word and jettison the world’s opinions and views from our consciousness, we will no longer walk in unbelief but will begin to walk in the power and authority according to HIS Word.  Miracles will begin to take place because FATHER watches over HIS Word to perform it.  Let HIS Word become or return to the first priority of our lives.  As we dive deeper into FATHER’S Word and commune with HIM in prayer, HE will use us in a greater manner and draw people unto us for ministry.  These times demand great faith and those who answer the call will be among the remnant who will bring forth the Kingdom of Heaven to earth.  Be refreshed and reestablish your priorities today.  Now is the time!

Overcome Unbelief

June 3rd, 2018

In Matthew chapter 17:

14 And when they had come to the multitude, a man came to Him, kneeling down to Him and saying,

15 “Lord, have mercy on my son, for he is an epileptic and suffers severely; for he often falls into the fire and often into the water.

16 So I brought him to Your disciples, but they could not cure him.”

17 Then Jesus answered and said, “O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you? How long shall I bear with you? Bring him here to Me.”

18 And Jesus rebuked the demon, and it came out of him; and the child was cured from that very hour.

19 Then the disciples came to Jesus privately and said, “Why could we not cast it out?”

20 So Jesus said to them, “Because of your unbelief; for assuredly, I say to you, if you have faith as a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move; and nothing will be impossible for you.

21 However, this kind does not go out except by prayer and fasting.”

The coming chaos in the world system will demand the remnant to walk in great faith, nothing less.  It is not a time to be timid and fearful but know that FATHER will provide.  To date, I have written 1,849 blogs on Love to those whom FATHER is preparing.  Today is no exception for I am simply a vessel being used by FATHER doing my part for the Kingdom.  HIS Love expressed through me is the reason for these writings.  HE wants us to be prepared and walk in the revelation of Love when mankind realizes their world is crumbing all around them.

There have been those who were led by emotion to come to this site hoping for a quick fix.  They have come and gone.  It is apparent that those who hunger after the fullness of Christ continue this journey with me expecting FATHER to move each day in our lives.

In the above passage, Jesus had a “corrective interview” with His disciples and rebuked them for their unbelief.  He even called them faithless and perverse!  He identified the reason for their inability to cast out the demon- they lacked faith.  Their unbelief prevailed instead.  Faith comes by hearing The Word, praying, and bringing all else into subjection.  Fasting includes not only the body and its cravings but the mind as well.

The “perverse generation” are those who have turned aside from the right path toward righteousness and followed the path toward destruction.  The disciples were looking at what they saw rather than trusting The Word in great faith.  Jesus openly rebuked them for their inability to cast out the demon.  They had yet overcome unbelief in their lives.

These writings are intended to help you overcome your and my unbelief.  The more time I spend with FATHER and focus on His Word, the greater my belief, faith, trust, and expectation.  FATHER is a rewarder of those who diligently seek HIM.  I expect to be rewarded as I diligently seek HIM each day and write these blogs to bless both you and me.  I probably need these writings more than you all.  Even if I am the only one who reads these writings, it will have been worth it.

We must be disciplined in our commitment to overcome unbelief.  It has to be done at a personal level so don’t expect others to resolve your unbelief.  Don’t expect a “sign” to somehow cause you to overcome faithlessness.  It takes commitment as Jesus stated if you want to be used by FATHER.

There have been many prophecies concerning the end times and we must be ready when the chaos comes to fruition.  As I wrote yesterday, Brazil and other South American countries are already dealing with social unrest.  The current financial system is teetering on collapse and has been for the last ten years.  I believe FATHER has kept it from collapsing as HE prepares the remnant to walk in Agape Love and great faith.  Let us overcome any unbelief that resides in the deepest crevices of our hearts and only by prayer and fasting will that unbelief be exposed and rooted out.

Mark Taylor Interview

June 2nd, 2018

The Army of GOD is different than the Body of Christ.  FATHER is instructing and raising up a remnant in preparation of a great harvest (think of Gideon’s 300).  Currently, most people in the U.S are complacent and are coasting along with their lives.  Their lives may not be the best, but they are getting by.  Overall, they are not desperate for change.  Other countries, especially in South America, are in much greater turmoil.  Our Beloved Sister in Brazil wrote me this week:

Brazil is under a real turmoil right now. Truck drivers started a paralyzation to protest against fuel prices and taxes increase and Brazilians joined them to ask for a military intervention (a movement that has been growing for some years now) and set us free from our communist government. Many Christians are among them and in the intervention movement praying for Babylon to fall. There’s been a shortage of fuel and food and if this comes to pass there might be a bad reaction from the other side. There has been a fierce battle with fake news media that is aiming to weaken and destroy this clamor of the society and of these hardworking people who suffer all sorts of depravation, humiliation and danger on the roads of the country. Our country has the highest taxes of the world. But the police and military so far has support this paralyzation. Today’s the 12th day. The international news also show only part of the problem and lies as well. Below is a video of a police officer praying for the truck drivers. They are parked along the roads and rest stops spread in the whole country. Pray for us, beloved brother. Only Father can set us free.

When people in America become as desperate as our brethren in Brazil, they will turn back to GOD.  Who will lead them into Truth?  The remnant who are being prepared now.  In what manner will this desperation come?  It will come when Truth exposes and prevails over the corruption of the Nation’s values.  Greed (love of money) is the root of all evil so we can conclude that the economics of the current system will be replaced once the corruption is exposed at the highest levels.  I saw the corruption first hand when FATHER had me involved for ten years in seeking out international financing for humanitarian projects.  This is where I saw the ugliness of greed when those in need were starving and dying.

Our great desire is to be a part of the preparation and maturing of the remnant.  I am convinced that the remnant will be at the center of the Great Harvest.  Mark Taylor has been given similar revelation and FATHER has raised him up to give notice to those who have ears to hear:

https://usawatchdog.com/time-is-up-for-those-corrupt-mark-taylor/

FATHER has held back judgment while the remnant is being prepared.  Don’t allow yourself to slack off, but press in, onward, and upward.  Seek FATHER and HE will answer and guide you into all Truth…  Google, Youtube, and cable networks won’t.

Pray for our brothers and sisters in Brazil!

Walk Toward Life

June 1st, 2018

By THE SPIRIT, James wrote in chapter 4:

Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded.

We either walk toward life or we walk toward death, it is our choice.  Though men would like to sign you up to live according to their complex rituals, the Gospel is simple and straightforward so that all can come to FATHER through Jesus Christ.  If we walk toward death, the adversary will gladly seek us out and devour us.  Yet if we walk toward life, FATHER will draw near and restore us fully and completely.  We must do this individually and not assume that someone in ministry will make our decision and be our covering thus allowing us to become slack in our walk.

Paul wrote by THE SPIRIT in Romans chapter 8:

12 Therefore, dear brothers and sisters, you have no obligation to do what your sinful nature urges you to do.

13 For if you live by its dictates, you will die. But if through the power of the Spirit you put to death the deeds of your sinful nature, you will live.

14 For all who are led by the Spirit of God are children of God.

15 So you have not received a spirit that makes you fearful slaves. Instead, you received God’s Spirit when he adopted you as his own children. Now we call him, “Abba, Father.”

16 For his Spirit joins with our spirit to affirm that we are God’s children.

17 And since we are his children, we are his heirs. In fact, together with Christ we are heirs of God’s glory. But if we are to share his glory, we must also share his suffering.   NLT

The path of life is challenged by our mental faculties and the cravings of the old man.  Both the mental and physical aspects are temporary in nature.  Men’s minds change and establish new traditions based on what the world leads them to believe.  The world is continuously presenting new evidence of so-called miracle drugs to address sickness and disease.  However, their drugs may address one symptom only to expose us to a myriad of other risks.  Why not let Our Creator heal our sickness and disease without introducing complex chemicals into our body?  We all have sought man’s temporary fixes including myself yet FATHER in HIS longsuffering and great grace permits us to be sustained while we repent and return to the path of Life.

FATHER is constantly urging us and prompting us to draw near unto HIM.  The Holy Spirit lovingly nudges us to move toward the path of life.  If I stumble, HE will pick me up and minister to me.  Yes, there may be correction but only at the appropriate level so that I will learn from my missteps.  As we look back at the fruit of our own logic and assumptions, we can see where we started down the wrong path which caused us to stumble.  The enemy is subtle, especially in the area of pride.  The mind wants to exalt you above others in some area of life.  People want to be needed and looked at as having exceptional qualities.  Jesus made Himself of no reputation but walked the path of life according to FATHER’S directives.  He walked in the fullness of life and that is what drew the multitudes to Him.  His wisdom was from Above and was contrary to the experts of the day and His fruit testified of His walk.

As we walk toward life, our fruit will testify of our path thus we need not attempt to convince people with man’s logic.  Simply look at the fruit.  If I get sick, FATHER swiftly heals me above and beyond man’s expectation.  If I face an unexpected challenge, FATHER intervenes on my behalf and provides the solution.  Yes, there will be challenges along the path toward life, but FATHER is drawing near and will face those challenges with us.  Be encouraged and full of faith IN HIM with each step toward life.  Each of us must decide to walk toward life.

Be Not Ignorant

May 31st, 2018

Paul wrote by THE SPIRIT in 2 Corinthians chapter 2:

5 But if anyone has caused grief, he has not grieved me, but all of you to some extent—not to be too severe.

6 This punishment which was inflicted by the majority is sufficient for such a man,

7 so that, on the contrary, you ought rather to forgive and comfort him, lest perhaps such a one be swallowed up with too much sorrow.

8 Therefore I urge you to reaffirm your (agape) love to him.

9 For to this end I also wrote, that I might put you to the test, whether you are obedient in all things.

10 Now whom you forgive anything, I also forgive. For if indeed I have forgiven anything, I have forgiven that one for your sakes in the presence of Christ,

11 lest Satan should take advantage of us; for we are not ignorant of his devices.

There are times when we must correct those who are offending the Body of Christ but it must be done in Love.  Those who have greatly offended many will suffer when corrected and that suffering is sufficient for their correction.  They were led astray by their lack of understanding and wisdom, typically by relying on their mind’s logic and error.  We must not allow ourselves to walk in unforgiveness toward them and cast them away as though they are unpardonable.  This will include those who professed to be used in the five-fold ministry and taught us in error or deemphasized the work of Christ.

We must not be ignorant of Satan’s devices.  He will use those who are not being led by THE SPIRIT to cause division among the brethren.  Their agenda is typically self-serving rather than self-sacrificing.  They also are oriented toward insufficiency rather than trusting FATHER to meet their needs.  They might lack assurance in their life so they will attempt to place the spotlight on themselves rather than preferring others.

FATHER forgave us all and sent HIS Son to die for the ungodly which included you and me.  As we mature IN HIM, we too will be willing to forgive all and will be able to readily identify the devices of Satan when they arise to cause division.  The earlier they are detected, the sooner restoration of the brother or sister will occur.  Often, you will be able to use the situation as an instructional event rather than a source of condemnation.

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.

Jesus identified the fruit of Satan- to steal, kill, and destroy.  When we see this fruit then we know the source of the problem.  Let us not condemn the person being used by Satan, but instead let us seek FATHER in determining the best way to restore the person to HIM.  Love always forgives.  If needed, FATHER will initiate corrective judgment in order to bring to light the source of the problem.  HIS fiery Word will penetrate the devices the devil is using to cause destruction in the person’s life.  Our responsibility is to intercede for the person and pray for FATHER’S perfect will to be done in the person’s life.  FATHER’S Wisdom will administer the proper correction without too much sorrow.  Let us not be ignorant and succumb to the enemy’s devices in our response thus increasing the problem.  Let Agape Love prevail in all that we say and do when we are affecting the lives of others.

Our Petitions

May 30th, 2018

The Beloved Disciple wrote by THE SPIRIT in 1 John chapter 5:

14 Now this is the confidence that we have in Him, that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us.

15 And if we know that He hears us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we have asked of Him.

FATHER has Lovingly expressed HIS Will to us in both verbal and written form so that there is no question what HIS Will is.  HE has confirmed HIS Will throughout history with signs and miracles following, not reluctantly, but with the expectation that we have no doubt of HIS desire to bring forth many Sons and Daughters to do HIS expressed Will.

FATHER has given us the guidelines to walk according to HIS Word in Love, faith, and hope… Love being the greatest character trait.  When we have received the revelation of Agape Love, we will fully understand that FATHER is not reluctant to receive our petitions requesting HIS actions on our behalf.  How many earthly fathers and mothers want the best for their children!  Consider how much greater FATHER’S Love is for us and HIS desire to see us prosper and be in good health even as our soul prospers.

Jesus died on the cross in order for us to easily and simply access the seven redemptive promises given to us by FATHER reflecting HIS nature.  FATHER is not hesitant in responding to those who ask in faith and according to HIS Word.  When HE spoke of the blessings of obedience in Deuteronomy chapter 28, those blessings were not limited to the children of Israel but instead reflects HIS nature and willingness to act on behalf of all HIS children.

Jesus healed the sick throughout His ministry.  He was never timid about healing those who approached Him and as we study those passages, our faith will increase and come to expect healing and restoration when we petition FATHER in Jesus’ name for Jesus spoke in John chapter 14:

12 “Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father.

13 And whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.

14 If you ask anything in My name, I will do it.”

How can we glorify Our Heavenly Father?  By walking in Love and faith, petitioning according to HIS Will and giving HIM the credit for the results.  Jesus gave us a perfect example when He came to Lazarus’ tomb:

40 Jesus said to her, “Did I not say to you that if you would believe you would see the glory of God?”

41 Then they took away the stone from the place where the dead man was lying.  And Jesus lifted up His eyes and said, “Father, I thank You that You have heard Me.

42 And I know that You always hear Me, but because of the people who are standing by I said this, that they may believe that You sent Me.”

43 Now when He had said these things, He cried with a loud voice, “Lazarus, come forth!”

44 And he who had died came out bound hand and foot with grave clothes, and his face was wrapped with a cloth. Jesus said to them, “Loose him, and let him go.”

Jesus prayed first, then the physical manifestation of Lazarus’ restoration followed.  Was Jesus reluctant to pray for Lazarus, given the situation?  Was FATHER hesitant to raise Lazarus from the dead?  No, FATHER expressed HIS Love for both Jesus and Lazarus and glorified HIS Name in their midst by producing supernatural results.  Let us not be reluctant to petition FATHER to fulfill our needs according to HIS Word.  Also, let us openly give HIM the glory and the credit when those needs are met.  HE awaits our prayers.

Vessels And Their Fruit

May 29th, 2018

The vessels of dishonor are known by their fruits and we are called to be fruit inspectors.  We are to minister to those who are in this category but we must be careful not to fellowship with those who meet these criteria for we are at risk of becoming like the company we keep.  Let us not fear those who are vessels of dishonor but let us be a light to shine in the darkness.  Wisdom wrote in Proverbs chapter 6:

16 ​​These six things the LORD hates,

​​Yes, seven are an abomination to Him:

17 ​​A proud look [the attitude that makes one overestimate oneself and discount others],

​​A lying tongue A false witness who breathes out lies [even half-truths],

​​Hands that shed innocent blood,

18 ​​A heart that devises wicked plans,

​​Feet that are swift in running to evil,

19 ​​A false witness who speaks lies,

​​And one who sows discord among brethren.

If FATHER hates these seven things, we too will come to hate these as well.  We must shine the light on these seven things in Love when Wisdom gives us the opportunity.  Paul wrote by THE SPIRIT in 2 Timothy chapter 2:

20 But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and silver, but also of wood and clay, some for honor and some for dishonor.

21 Therefore if anyone cleanses himself from the latter, he will be a vessel for honor, sanctified and useful for the Master, prepared for every good work.

22 Flee also youthful lusts; but pursue righteousness, faith, love, peace with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart.

We were all vessels of dishonor before receiving salvation through Our Lord Jesus Christ and if we look back at the fruit we produced, we would easily see our actions which would fit into one or more of the categories mentioned in Proverbs chapter 6.  Thankfully, the Blood of Christ was and is sufficient to overcome all of our sins so that we are now able to walk as vessels of honor.  If we are having difficulty in any area of our life, let us come to FATHER’S Throne of Grace and plead the Blood of Christ over our difficulty.  His Blood is greater than any difficulty we face.  We must not let our mind regain control over our heart by leading us astray with lustful or prideful thoughts.  The mind would exalt and overestimate oneself and discount others.  Let us humbly walk as vessels of honor and walk with a grateful heart.

As we become mature Sons and Daughter in Christ, Wisdom will guide us into all Truth concerning these things FATHER hates.  They will be easily identified and we will be given the Word and power to deal with them in the appropriate manner.  Some of us will be called upon to expose these things which will affect the course of history.  We must be of good courage and know that FATHER will provide us with the Words to speak when we are given the opportunity.  Others will be called upon to intercede in prayer for those who are called to the spotlight.  Let us all be prepared to do our part when FATHER moves upon us by HIS SPIRIT.  Vessels of honor will be called upon to act on behalf of the Kingdom and we must be fully prepared.
