No Time To Waste

July 19th, 2025

The present day is before us so let us make the most of it!

Peter wrote by The Holy Spirit in 1 Peter chapter 1:

13 So then, prepare your hearts and minds for action! Stay alert and fix your hope firmly on the marvelous grace that is coming to you. For when Jesus Christ is unveiled, a greater measure of grace (enablement) will be released to you.

And David wrote by The Holy Spirit in Psalm chapter 39:

3 My heart burned with a fire within me, and my thoughts eventually boiled over until they finally came rolling out of my mouth:

4 “Lord, help me to know how fleeting my time on earth is. Help me to know how limited is my life and that I’m only here but for a moment more.

5 What a brief time you’ve given me to live! Compared to You my lifetime is nothing at all! Nothing more than a puff of air—I’m gone so swiftly. So too are the grandest of men; they are nothing but a fleeting shadow!”

I Hear His Whisper…

Do you feel as if your days are fleeting? Time will pass whether you’re paying attention or not. How are you using your days, beloved? Practicing the habit of being tuned to the present is how you can take hold of the time you have. The past is behind you though you can learn from it. The future is ahead, and it can be a driving force that keeps you going, but it can also distract from what you have here and now. Don’t forget to pay attention to the present moment.

Practice presence, beloved. Be aware of what you are giving your attention to. Train your thoughts by grounding them in truth. Anchor your mind by tuning in to my presence. This is the moment I have given you. Will you let it race by, or will you give it intention? Let your life align with my love as you set your heart on practicing purposeful presence with those around you. You have received a gift in this life, and it is not too late to be diligent in purpose. Take your thoughts captive, love, and you will find that joy is already here in this present season.

Why Be Blessed?

July 18th, 2025

Why do you need to be blessed?

It is so that you can address every opportunity to do a good work and be a blessing to others.

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in 2nd Corinthians chapter 9:

6 But this I say: He who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and he who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully.

7 So let each one give as he purposes in his heart, not grudgingly or of necessity; for God loves a cheerful giver.

8 And God is able to make all grace abound toward you, that you, always having all sufficiency in all things, may have an abundance for every good work.

9 As it is written: “He has dispersed abroad, He has given to the poor; His righteousness endures forever.”

Notice that righteousness is connected to generosity.

10 Now may He Who supplies seed to the sower, and bread for food, supply and multiply the seed you have sown and increase the fruits of your righteousness.

Yes, God is more than ready to overwhelm you with every form of grace (enablement), so that you will have more than enough of everything—every moment and in every way. HE will make you overflow with abundance in every good thing you do.

FATHER wants us to come into a lifestyle where we always have something to give into those situations that present themselves.  HE will provide you with seed to sow as you embrace this lifestyle.  HE will also initiate the multiplier effect.

GOD provides seed for sowing, that is generosity, and bread for eating, that is consuming.  Both are Holy: generosity and eating.  Buying “gifts” for my family is as Holy as being generous to those in need.  Neither should be ignored at the expense of the other.

GOD ordained me to be a consumer of bread, a consumer of what HE provided for me.  HE is a generous Giver to me as an example for me to be a generous giver to others.

How does FATHER respond when HE provides for us?  HIS joy can’t be any less than my joy of seeing my family enjoy what I’m able to do for them.  HIS generosity inspires me to be generous.

11 while you are enriched in everything for all liberality, which causes thanksgiving through us to God.

Every gift we give has multiple effects.  The LORD receives honor through thanksgiving.  HE receives honor through the souls that are saved, HE receives honor through people doing what they were born to do, and we have the joy of giving. 

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Philippians chapter 4:

16 For even in Thessalonica you sent aid once and again for my necessities.

17 Not that I seek the gift, but I seek the fruit that abounds to your account.

18 Indeed I have all and abound. I am full, having received from Epaphroditus the things sent from you, a sweet-smelling aroma, an acceptable sacrifice, well pleasing to God.

19 And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory (unlimited and Eternal) by Christ Jesus.

Both of these passages gave us promises that we delight in and enjoy unlimited provision guaranteed by THE LORD throughout our life.  Both of them were connected to “missionary giving”. 

Our missionary field is primarily in the schools we support.  We go to them; they don’t come to us.  Our mission field does not have to be in a faraway country.  Paul, who was a missionary, was about 95 miles from Philippi when he wrote to them concerning their support. 

In North America, 95% of the contributions stay within the churches where those funds are collected.  In our case, 100% of the contributions go out to those in need.  We see this commitment as the purest form of obedience to FATHER’S Divine Intent in the area of financial stewardship.  What about Servias’ minor operating expenses?  My wife and I cover those as needed and it is our privilege to do so.  This eliminates any motive that would be considered “self-serving”.

The light that shines the farthest, shines the brightest at home.

Over the years I have found that when I give the tithe, my 90% is more effective because it is without a devourer.  The 100% comes with a devourer.  This is the way Kingdom finances work.  Yes, it took a while for my mind to be transformed to walk according to Kingdom principles in the area of finances, but FATHER proved HIMSELF faithful as we fully aligned ourselves in this area.  HIS faithfulness has placed us in a position to bless others out of generosity, not out of duty or pressure.

Shaping History

July 17th, 2025

Do you want to shape the course of history?

When I invest money in The Gospel, I am shaping the course of history.  When I see a ministry that manifests good fruit, they are subject to my family’s support as The Holy Spirit leads.  Good fruit promotes more good fruit.  Each of us gets to assign our resources to Eternal tasks to further the Kingdom of GOD.

As I wrote yesterday, do not allow yourself to be manipulated or coerced to give.  Have I been manipulated in the past?  Absolutely!  Once my wife and I finally became confident in giving by being led by The Holy Spirit, we could no longer be manipulated or coerced into parting with our money.  We won’t support personal kingdom building under the guise of establishing FATHER’S Kingdom.

Jesus spoke in Luke chapter 6:

38  Give, and it will be given to you: good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over will be put into your bosom. For with the same measure that you use, it will be measured back to you.”

Jesus continued as He likened people to trees:

43 “You’ll never find choice fruit hanging on a bad, unhealthy tree. And rotten fruit doesn’t hang on a good, healthy tree.

44 Every tree will be revealed by the quality of fruit that it produces. You will never pick figs or grapes from thorn trees.

45 People are known in this same way. Out of the virtue stored in their hearts, good and upright people will produce good fruit. Likewise, out of the evil hidden in their hearts, evil ones will produce what is evil. For the overflow of what has been stored in your heart will be seen by your fruit and will be heard in your words.

If you spend enough time with a person, you can identify the type of fruit they are producing.  We can’t judge a person’s heart, but we can judge his fruit.

Generosity is a heart attitude, and every person is positioned to give something.  Giving smiles and compliments are ways of giving.  This means that you are not focusing on “self” but instead you are focusing on others.  We are thinking in terms of making a difference everywhere we go.  When you live a life of generosity, everything changes.

The tithe came from Abraham, who is called the father of faith.

Moses recorded by The Holy Spirit in Genesis chapter 14:

18 And Melchizedek, Who was both a priest of the Most High God and the king of Salem (peace), brought out to Abram bread and wine.

19 He spoke over him a special blessing, saying, “Blessed is Abram by God Most High, Creator of heaven and earth.

20 And blessed be God Most High, whose power delivered your enemies into your hands!” Abram gave Melchizedek a tenth of all he possessed.

It is interesting that the two major events associated with blessing Abraham were: Holy Communion and the tithe.  Think about it!

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit about Abraham being the “father of faith” in Romans chapter 4:

16 The promise depends on faith so that it can be experienced as a grace-gift, and now it extends to all the descendants of Abraham. This promise is not only meant for those who obey the law, but also to those who enter into the faith of Abraham, the father of us all.

17 That’s what the Scripture means when it says: “I have made you the father of many nations.” He is our example and father, for in God’s Presence he believed that God can raise the dead and call into being things that don’t even exist yet.

Abraham had faith in both Communion and tithing.  I do too.  By faith, Abraham changed the course of history.  His willingness to give was an integral part of his faith in GOD.

Overflowing Provision

July 16th, 2025

Faith brings forth an unlimited supply of provision to take The Gospel to the nations!

Religion robs us of an appetite to seek more provision.  They assign this desire as greed.  It can be on the negative side, but it isn’t if you have a righteous intent behind it.

Jesus spoke in Luke chapter 6:

38  Give, and it will be given to you: good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over will be put into your bosom. For with the same measure that you use, it will be measured back to you.”

In other Words, give generously and generous gifts will be given back to you, shaken down to make room for more. Abundant gifts will pour out upon you with such an overflowing measure that it will run over the top! The measurement of your generosity becomes the measurement of your return.”

When we walk with a generous heart, FATHER is not reluctant to bless us with more so that we can increase our giving to others.  Also, HE will not withhold provision to provide you with the desires of your heart.

David wrote by The Holy Spirit in Psalm chapter 37:

3 Trust in the LORD, and do good; Dwell in the land, and feed on His faithfulness. 4 Delight yourself also in the LORD, And He shall give you the desires of your heart.

Over the years, HE has proven this Scripture to my wife and me time and time again.  HE wants to bless those with a generous heart.

It is written by The Holy Spirit in Malachi chapter 3:

10 Bring all the tithes into the storehouse, That there may be food in My House, And try (test, prove) Me now in this,” Says the LORD of hosts, “If I will not open for you the windows of Heaven And pour out for you an overflowing blessing That there will not be room enough to receive it.”

FATHER initiated this promise to those HE can trust to be generous givers to those in need.

11 I will defeat the devourer so that it will not destroy the fruits of your fields, and your vines will be full of grapes,” says YAHWEH, Commander of Angel Armies. 12 “Then all the nations will call you blessed, for you will be a land in which God takes delight. I, YAHWEH, Commander of Angel Armies, promise you this.”

Everything you set your hand to will be productive to the point where nations will call you blessed.  They will know that it wasn’t by your own talent and ability, they will see that you have been blessed by Our Heavenly Father in a supernatural fashion.  Your age does not prevent you from receiving this promise.  Don’t limit yourself.

Jesus didn’t kill the passion for greatness in the disciples; He redefined it so they could be entrusted with provision to promote them and not kill them.  Any believer whose eyes are open will see the world in need of help.  As a result, that believer will have an appetite for more.

It is not about building materialistic personal kingdoms.  FATHER is looking for people that hunger for unusual, supernatural, significant breakthrough put into the context of a passionate person for souls so that as the resources come, we actually have the Wisdom and the grace to do what we have purposed in our heart to do.  We actually get to shape the course of history through generosity.  This happens one person at a time.  Those who give into Servias, are affecting the lives of kids in need whose future is being positively affected by our financial support. 

We have posted a recent testimony of a child who went from a known problem to his teacher to an outstanding student.  Our financial support dramatically impacted that child.  His counselor confirmed it to me.  His future has changed!

Generosity is one of the evidences of righteous living.  It is one of the evidences of being in fellowship with THE LORD.  FATHER is the Giver of Life and provision.  Abraham discovered this aspect of FATHER’S Nature early on.

Moses recorded by The Holy Spirit in Genesis chapter 22:

9 Then they came to the place of which God had told him. And Abraham built an altar there and placed the wood in order; and he bound Isaac his son and laid him on the altar, upon the wood.

10 And Abraham stretched out his hand and took the knife to slay his son.

11 But the Angel of the LORD called to him from heaven and said, “Abraham, Abraham!” So he said, “Here I am.”

12 And He said, “Do not lay your hand on the lad, or do anything to him; for now I know that you fear God, since you have not withheld your son, your only son, from Me.”

13 Then Abraham lifted his eyes and looked, and there behind him was a ram caught in a thicket by its horns. So Abraham went and took the ram, and offered it up for a burnt offering instead of his son.

14 And Abraham called the name of the place, The-LORD-Will-Provide; as it is said to this day, “In the Mount of the LORD it shall be provided.”

THE LORD will provide to those who walk in the Fear of THE LORD and can be trusted to be led by The Holy Spirit.  They will be given overflowing provision as they establish HIS Kingdom on earth.

PS: Don’t ever let anyone manipulate or coerce you into giving. Your giving should be initiated out of your heart, being led by The Holy Spirit.

Faith For Overflow

July 15th, 2025

FATHER’S supreme value is faith!

Faith is not anti-intellect, it is superior to intellect.  Many reduce the Bible to what they understand rather than seeking out the mysteries spoken about in Scripture.

Genuine faith is superior to human reasoning.  It is so superior that it inspires the mind into the Mind of Christ.  Human reasoning has difficulty with the impossible, but faith doesn’t.

Once again, Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Ephesians chapter 3:

16 And I pray that Our Heavenly Father would unveil within you the unlimited riches of His glory and favor until supernatural strength floods your innermost being with His Divine might and explosive power.

17 Then, by constantly using your faith, the life of Christ will be released deep inside you, and the resting place of His Love will become the very Source and Root of your life.

We are to walk by faith, not by sight (2nd Corinthians 5:7).

18-19 Then you will be empowered to discover what every Holy one experiences—the great magnitude of the astonishing Love of Christ in all Its dimensions. How deeply intimate and far-reaching is His Love! How enduring and inclusive It is! Endless Love beyond measurement that transcends our understanding—this extravagant Love pours into you until you are filled to overflowing with the fullness of God!

20 Never doubt God’s mighty power to work in you and accomplish all this. He will achieve infinitely more than your greatest request, your most unbelievable dream, and exceed your wildest imagination! He will outdo them all, for His miraculous power constantly energizes you.

It is written by The Holy Spirit in Hebrews chapter 11:

1 Now faith brings our hopes into reality and becomes the foundation needed to acquire the things we long for. It is all the evidence required to prove what is still unseen.

3 Faith empowers us to see that the universe was created and beautifully coordinated by the power of God’s Words! He spoke and the invisible realm gave birth to all that is seen.

Faith comes first, understanding comes next.  This understanding is to perceive something that is beyond comprehension.  I never want to restrict my obedience to my understanding.  I don’t need to understand to obey. 

Often, the “why” comes later after I have obeyed HIS Word to me.  I have become accustomed to that reality.  This allows me to respond quickly to HIS Word.  On the other hand, if I restrict my obedience to my understanding, then I’ve created a god in my image… I have a god who is my size.  Think about it!

The reason that FATHER deals with the heart is because that is where faith comes from, not from the head.

Jesus spoke in Mark chapter 11:

22 So Jesus answered and said to them, “Have faith in God.

23 For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be removed and be cast into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says.

Human reasoning cannot move the mountain Jesus refers to, but faith can.

Jesus also spoke in John chapter 7:

37 Then on the most important day of the feast (Feast of Tabernacles), the last day, Jesus stood and shouted out to the crowds—“All you thirsty ones, come to me! Come to me and drink!

38 Believe in Me so that rivers of Living Water will burst out from within you, flowing from your innermost being, just like the Scripture says!”

Your innermost being is your heart where faith resides.  The Holy Spirit also resides there.  Your faith will promote Living Water to burst forth and flow to others who thirst.  The fulfillment of the Feast of Tabernacles is glorification and is accomplished as we are fully led by The Holy Spirit.  Fullness is measured in overflow. Are you ready for the culmination of this reality in your life?  Are you ready to be filled to overflowing?

Removing The Veil

July 14th, 2025

Let us consistently walk in overflowing Lovc!

When we do, we will be filled with the fullness of GOD and hidden mysteries will be unveiled in us.  We are meant to be aware of HIS Presence in our daily walks.

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Ephesians chapter 3:

16 And I pray that Our Heavenly Father would unveil within you the unlimited riches of His glory and favor until supernatural strength floods your innermost being with His Divine might and explosive power.

17 Then, by constantly using your faith, the life of Christ will be released deep inside you, and the resting place of His Love will become the very Source and Root of your life.

Unveiling means that HIS unlimited riches of HIS glory and favor are already in us but we need to remove that veil.  Veils represent Spiritual Truths being hidden or revealed.

18-19 Then you will be empowered to discover what every Holy one experiences—the great magnitude of the astonishing Love of Christ in all Its dimensions. How deeply intimate and far-reaching is His Love! How enduring and inclusive It is! Endless Love beyond measurement that transcends our understanding—this extravagant Love pours into you until you are filled to overflowing with the fullness of God!

20 Never doubt God’s mighty power to work in you and accomplish all this. He will achieve infinitely more than your greatest request, your most unbelievable dream, and exceed your wildest imagination! He will outdo them all, for His miraculous power constantly energizes you.

Are you willing to embrace this prayer by Paul?  If it were not possible, he would not have prayed for it and included it in his letter to the Ephesians.  Are you known by overflowing Love?

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in 2nd Corinthians chapter 3:

13 We are not like Moses, who used a veil to hide the glory to keep the Israelites from staring at him as it faded away.

14 Their minds were closed and hardened, for even to this day that same veil comes over their minds when they hear the Words of the former Covenant. The veil has not yet been lifted from them, for it is only eliminated when one is joined to the Messiah.

15 So until now, whenever the Old Testament is being read, the same blinding comes over their hearts.

16 But the moment one turns to the Lord with an open heart, the veil is lifted and they see.

17 Now, the “Lord” I’m referring to is the Holy Spirit, and wherever He is Lord, there is freedom.

18 We can all draw close to Him with the veil removed from our faces. And with no veil we all become like mirrors who brightly reflect the glory of the Lord Jesus. We are being transfigured into His very Image as we move from one brighter level of glory to another. And this glorious transfiguration comes from the Lord, Who is the Spirit.

The more we submit to The Holy Spirit in our day-to-day walk, the greater the glory we will walk in.  A veil separates the Holy from the unholy.  As we purge any trace of unholiness in our minds, we allow the veil to be torn in two and the glory will shine forth, brighter and brighter.

Paul also wrote by The Holy Spirit in 1st Corinthians chapter 2:

9 This is why the Scriptures say: Things never discovered or heard of before, things beyond our ability to imagine—these are the many things God has in store for all His Lovers.

10 But God now unveils these profound realities to us by the Spirit. Yes, He has revealed to us His Inmost Heart and deepest mysteries through the Holy Spirit, Who constantly explores all things.

11 After all, who can really see into a person’s heart and know his hidden impulses except for that person’s spirit? So it is with God. His Thoughts and secrets are only fully understood by His Spirit, the Spirit of God.

As we walk in the fullness of The Holy Spirit and unconditional Love, FATHER will unveil the profound mysteries HE has in store for us.

Identifying Half-truths

July 13th, 2025

We are constantly being bombarded with half-truths so we must protect our mindsets from being swayed into believing lies!

When I was growing up, we watched the CBS Evening News with Walter Cronkite.  Walter Leland Cronkite Jr. was an American broadcast journalist who served as anchorman for the CBS Evening News from 1962 to 1981. During the 1960s and 1970s, he was often cited as “the most trusted man in America” after being so named in an opinion poll. 

Walter Cronkite’s famous saying, used to close his nightly broadcasts on CBS News for nearly two decades, was “And that’s the way it is.”. This phrase emphasized his commitment to objective reporting and is often cited as a key factor in his popularity and the high ratings he achieved. 

Back then, the news was not manipulated by corporate interests like it is today.  The corporate narrative is intended to manipulate viewers to a particular mindset that supports a certain agenda.  Now, much of the news contains half-truths.  We are warned against such deceit.

David recorded by The Holy Spirit in Psalm chapter 35:

20 For they do not speak peace, But they devise deceitful words [half-truths and lies] against those who are quiet in the land (those who mind there own business).

And David also recorded Psalm chapter 101:

6 My Eyes will be on the faithful (honorable) of the land, that they may dwell with Me; He who walks blamelessly is the one who will minister to and serve Me.

7 He who practices deceit will not dwell in My House; He who tells lies and half-truths will not continue [to remain] in My Presence.

8 Morning after morning I will destroy all the wicked in the land, That I may cut off from the city of the LORD all those who do evil.

Manipulation is a form of deceit.  Manipulation is the act of influencing or controlling someone, often unfairly or dishonestly, to one’s own advantage. It involves using tactics to persuade, deceive, or coerce others, often by exploiting their vulnerabilities or weaknesses.  Manipulation is closely related to negotiation.

Negotiation is a process where two or more parties, with differing interests, engage in a discussion to reach an agreement or resolve a dispute. It’s a form of communication aimed at finding a mutually acceptable outcome or compromise. Essentially, it’s a “give-and-take” where parties may make concessions to achieve a desired result. 

Does Our Heavenly Father negotiate?  No!  HE is the Source of absolute Truth and reality.  Everything else is a compromise and subject to manipulation.

Wisdom spoke in Proverbs chapter 6:

19 A false witness who breathes out lies [even half-truths], And one who spreads discord (rumors) among brothers.

And in chapter 12:

17 He who speaks Truth declares righteousness, But a false witness, deceit.

In other Words, Truthfulness marks the righteous, but the habitual liar can never be trusted.

Once you catch someone is speaking “half-truths”, you cannot trust anything they say, especially in the media.  We must guard ourselves from allowing outside influences to distort our mindset.  As we are led by The Holy Spirit, we are able to discern the Truth from lies.  We will get a check in our spirit about what is being said. 

Pay close attention to the “check” or you may be pushed off course in your walk.  We must place our trust in the Truth from Above and not allow man’s influence to affect our mindset in any way.

Complacency Is The Opposite Of Love

July 12th, 2025

The opposite of Love is not hate, it’s complacency!

What is complacency?  It is the feeling so satisfied with your own abilities or situation that you feel you do not need to try any harder; self-content; no need to expand or grow; becoming inactive because you are satisfied with your current state.

The Beloved Disciple recorded what Jesus spoke in Revelation chapter 3:

14 “And to the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write, ‘These things says the Amen, the Faithful and True Witness, the Beginning of the creation of God:

15 “I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot. I could wish you were cold or hot.

16 So then, because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will vomit you out of My mouth.

17 Because you say, ‘I am rich, have become wealthy, and have need of nothing’-and do not know that you are wretched, miserable, poor, blind, and naked–

The church at Laodicea was filled with complacent members.

Jesus spoke in Matthew chapter 16:

24 Then Jesus said to His disciples, “If you truly want to follow Me, you should at once completely reject and disown your own life. And you must be willing to share My cross and experience it as your own, as you continually surrender to My ways. 25 For if you choose self-sacrifice and lose your lives for My glory, you will continually discover true Life. But if you choose to keep your lives for yourselves, you will forfeit what you try to keep.

If you choose to “keep your lives for yourselves”, this is a sign of complacency, and you will forfeit what you had.  Jesus calls us to lead a surrendered life, not self-serving.

26 For even if you were to gain all the wealth and power of this world—at the cost of your own life—what good would that be? And what could be more valuable to you than your own soul?

27 I, the Son of Man, will one day return with My messengers and in the splendor and majesty of My Father. And then I will reward each person according to what they have done.

This is both a promise and a warning for us to heed!  Throughout Scripture, we are given warnings of being selfish and disregarding the needs of others.

David wrote by The Holy Spirit in Psalm chapter 28:

3 Do not take me away with the wicked And with the workers of iniquity, Who speak peace to their neighbors, But evil is in their hearts.

4 Give them according to their deeds, And according to the wickedness of their endeavors; Give them according to the work of their hands; Render to them what they deserve.

5 Because they do not regard the Works of the LORD, Nor the operation of His Hands, He shall destroy them And not build them up.

And in Psalm chapter 62:

11 God said to me once and for all, “All the strength and power you need flows from Me!” And again I heard it clearly said,

12 “All the Love you need is found in Me!” And it’s true that you repay people for what they do.

Further, Wisdom instructs us in Proverbs chapter 24:

11 Go and rescue the perishing! Be their savior! Why would you stand back and watch them stagger to their death?

12 And why would you say, “But it’s none of my business”? The One Who knows you completely and judges your every motive is also the Keeper of souls—and not just yours! He sees through your excuses and holds you responsible for failing to help those whose lives are threatened.

We have no excuses for not living a surrendered life to Christ.  Nothing is hidden from FATHER and each of us will be rewarded accordingly.  There is no time like the present!  Don’t be guilty of complacency.

Expanding The Kingdom

July 11th, 2025

Jesus show us how to expand the Kingdom of GOD on the earth!

Jesus demonstrated the importance of walking in the power and authority of The Holy Spirit that would ultimately result in the expansion of The Kingdom of GOD on earth.  This includes casting out demons, no matter how many are before you.  There is an immediate reaction in the geographic region and later a long-term reaction that expands and encompasses more real estate.

Luke recorded by The Holy Spirit in Luke chapter 8:

26-29 As soon as they stepped ashore on the eastern side of the lake in the land of the Gerasenes, the disciples were confronted by a demon-possessed madman from a nearby town. Many times he had been put under guard and bound with chains, but the many demons inside him had repeatedly thrown him into convulsions, breaking his shackles and driving him out of the town into the countryside.

The land of the Gerasenes is located in the area of Decapolis, a region of ten cities in Roman Syria and Judea. 

He had been demonized for a long time and was living naked in a cemetery among the tombs. When he saw Jesus, he fell at his feet and screamed out, “What are you doing here? You are Jesus, the Son of the Most High God!” Jesus commanded the demons to come out of him, and they shouted, “We beg you, don’t torture us!”

33 So Jesus ordered all the “mob” (a legion) of demons to come out of the man and enter the pigs. The crazed herd of swine stampeded over the cliff into the lake and all of them drowned.

34 When the herders tending the pigs saw what had happened, they ran off in fear and reported it to the nearby town and throughout the countryside.

35 Then the people of the region came out to see for themselves what had happened. When they came to where Jesus was, they discovered the notorious madman totally set free. He was clothed, speaking intelligently, and sitting at the feet of Jesus. They were shocked!

36 Then eyewitnesses to the miracle reported all that they had seen and how Jesus completely delivered the demonized man from his torment. After hearing about such amazing power, the townspeople became frightened.

First, the townspeople were afraid of the demon-possessed madman, not they are afraid of Jesus Who delivered the man of his demons.

37 Soon all the people of the region of the Gerasenes and the surrounding country pleaded with Jesus to leave them, for they were gripped with fear. So Jesus got into the boat, intending to return to Galilee.

The delivered man became a follower of Christ.  In an instant, he was a new man.

38 But the man who had been set free begged Jesus over and over not to leave, saying, “Let me be with you!” Jesus sent him away with these instructions:

39 “Return to your home and your family, and tell them all the wonderful things God has done for you.” So the man went back and preached to everyone who would listen about the amazing miracle Jesus had worked in his life.

There is nothing like a verified testimony of the miraculous to force people to deal with the ministry of Christ.  Their mindset goes from considering a theology to a reality and this is what causes the Kingdom to grow.

What was the result of this miracle?  Jesus returned to the area and Mark recorded in Mark chapter 7:

31 Again, departing from the region of Tyre and Sidon, He came through the midst of the region of Decapolis to the Sea of Galilee.

32 Then they brought to Him one who was deaf and had an impediment in his speech, and they begged Him to put His Hand on him.

33 And He took him aside from the multitude, and put His fingers in his ears, and He spat and touched his tongue.

34 Then, looking up to heaven, He sighed, and said to him, “Ephphatha,” that is, “Be opened.”

35 Immediately his ears were opened, and the impediment of his tongue was loosed, and he spoke plainly.

36 Then He commanded them that they should tell no one; but the more He commanded them, the more widely they proclaimed it.

37 And they were astonished beyond measure, saying, “He has done all things well. He makes both the deaf to hear and the mute to speak.”

Fear left the region after Jesus healed another person brought to Him by the people.  What happens next?

Chapter 8:1 In those days, the multitude (four thousand men +) being very great and having nothing to eat, Jesus called His disciples to Him and said to them…

The fame of the demon-possessed man’s deliverance ultimately produced 4,000 men plus women and children wanting to hear the message of The Gospel.  You and I have been given the template of how to expand the Kingdom of GOD on earth.

Dealing With Chaos

July 10th, 2025

The peace of GOD is the complete absence of chaos!

HE has allowed us to be exposed to chaos so that we are able to discern the difference.  This is not intended for us to walk through life as victims.  If you experience deception and then receive the revelation of Truth in the matter, you will respond to the deception and walk in peace.  This is especially true in the area of finances. 

GOD gave you the ability to “feel” so that it would take you to HIM.  I don’t know how to pray for a particular situation, but I do know the enemy had his way.  There are times where FATHER gives me a particular Scripture that applies to my situation and gives me peace about how to deal with it.

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Philippians chapter 4:

6 Don’t be pulled in different directions or worried about a thing. Be saturated in prayer throughout each day, offering your faith-filled requests before God with overflowing gratitude. Tell HIM every detail of your life,

7 then God’s wonderful peace that transcends human understanding, will guard your heart and mind through Jesus Christ.

8 Keep your thoughts continually fixed on all that is authentic and real, honorable and admirable, beautiful and respectful, pure and Holy, merciful and kind. And fasten your thoughts on every glorious work of God, praising Him always.

The more we saturate ourselves in prayer with overflowing gratitude, the less we will be moved in chaotic situations.  I have found that when I begin the day by praying in The Holy Spirit, I am better prepared for any adverse event that might arise.

We perceive with our spiritual eyes because HE positions us to make a difference and react accordingly.  During my morning prayer, HE brings up topics for me to deal with at a later time.  I write them down and continue to pray.  These are not interruptions, these are solutions to problems or situations that will affect me in some way.

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in 2nd Corinthians chapter 10:

3-4 For although we live in the natural realm, we don’t wage a military campaign employing human weapons, using manipulation to achieve our aims. Instead, our spiritual weapons are energized with Divine power to effectively dismantle the defenses behind which people hide.

5 We can demolish every deceptive fantasy that opposes God and break through every arrogant attitude that is raised up in defiance of the true knowledge of God. We capture, like prisoners of war, every thought and insist that it bow in obedience to the Anointed One.

6 Since we are armed with such dynamic weaponry, we stand ready to punish any trace of rebellion, as soon as you choose complete obedience.  TPT

Deception promotes chaos, and if we allow chaos to exist without a response, it will increase in our lives.  We must take every thought captive to the obedience of Christ and not allow any thought to produce a wrong response to the chaos before us.  Taking every thought captive in this manner, produces the Mind of Christ in us, peace results.

When we are confronted with chaos, we must remember that there is nothing impossible with GOD and HE has a redemptive solution for every situation, and it is available to us.

It is written by The Holy Spirit in Psalm chapter 84:

10 For a day in Your courts is better than a thousand. I would rather be a doorkeeper in the House of My God Than dwell in the tents of wickedness.

11 For the LORD God is a sun and shield; The LORD will give grace and glory; No good thing will He withhold From those who walk uprightly.

12 O LORD of hosts, Blessed is the man who trusts in You!

FATHER always has the solution to chaos.
