By THE SPIRIT Paul wrote in Romans chapter 10:

14 How then shall they call on Him in whom they have not believed? And how shall they believe in Him of whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear without a preacher?

15 And how shall they preach unless they are sent? As it is written:

​​​“How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the gospel of peace,

​​Who bring glad tidings of good things!”

​16 But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Isaiah says, “LORD, who has believed our report?”

17 So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

People who have not heard the Gospel are ignorant of its benefits.  Our responsibility to mankind is to spread the Gospel and give people the opportunity to accept or reject it.  Moreover we are to provide infallible proofs that the Gospel is the Way, the Truth, and the Life.  There are a multitude of religions around the world and they have arisen from man’s attempt to understand the spiritual.  Generally those religions end up controlling and manipulating the masses for the benefit of the few who have managed to “work the system”.  They generally promote division and separation from those who do not conform to their way of thinking.  The one ingredient missing is unconditional Love.

A preacher is anyone who publishes, proclaims, or spreads the Good News of Jesus Christ.  You can spread the Good News by your acts and your speech.  Giving to those whom you don’t know is an example of unconditional Love for you have no strings attached when you give.  Most anyone can give to family or to those whom they are associated but to give to someone strictly in obedience to FATHER’S Word or the leading of The Holy Spirit is Agape Love.

If there is anything this earth needs today, it is peace.  As I write this, people are being killed, starved, and exploited all around the globe thus the field is truly white ready for a harvest.  We must take on the mantle of Love and actively pursue the fullness of our calling.  We must set aside anything that would divert our focus at this critical hour.  We can spend an inordinate amount of time researching and exploring topics which simply entertain us or we can “be still and wait upon THE LORD”.

There are those who will allow the cares of the world to enter in but this is the time for us to truly hear FATHER and let our faith become ”great”!  Let our Agape Love abound!  As we do, hope will spread throughout the land.  We must give people the opportunity to accept or reject the Gospel of Love.  It is our mandate.

In Luke chapter 17 Jesus spoke:

1 Then He said to the disciples, “It is impossible that no offenses should come, but woe to him through whom they do come!

2 It would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck, and he were thrown into the sea, than that he should offend one of these little ones.

3 Take heed to yourselves. If your brother sins against you, rebuke him; and if he repents, forgive him.

4 And if he sins against you seven times in a day, and seven times in a day returns to you, saying, ‘I repent,’ you shall forgive him.”

As I have mentioned in the past: “You become like the company you keep.”  Jesus gives us a stern warning against causing others to sin for there is a definite judgment that will arrive to the person whose motivation leads others to sin.  Over the years I have observed such judgments to come upon certain individuals who were persistent in their actions which did harm to others.  Our words and actions have consequences thus it would be better to say and do nothing than to cause others to have their spiritual walk negatively impacted.

On the other hand if we are the one being offended, we must forgive the person as they repent and seek forgiveness.  Jesus knew that correcting such ingrained motives would require much forgiveness as the person sees the error of his ways.  In many cases it takes time and commitment to correct and remove those things which caused us to sin and negatively impact others.

We must admit we were wrong in order to embrace the Truth.  I look back at the belief system I had at various times in the past and realize how little I knew then and thus I must admit that I still know very little in the overall scheme of things.  This is precisely why I must seek FATHER’S Wisdom, understanding, and knowledge in all matters.  I must be led by THE HOLY SPIRIT throughout the day and I must compare my words and acts to that of Jesus in order to determine if I am a blessing or a hindrance to those I come in contact.

I have been around long enough to witness the reality that man’s wisdom is a temporary fix to the symptom of the problem.  FATHER’S Word and Wisdom is the only Source that stands the test of time.  Often It goes contrary to the world’s current views but in the end, FATHER’S directives will sustain us when the world’s views either change or evaporate under pressure.

The best way to insure we don’t entice others to sin is to continually walk in Love.  There are those who consciously direct people away from FATHER in order to fulfill their own lusts and there are those who provide light to others and help steer them toward eternal life.  Let us be those vessels of honor by which life flows to and through so that all the individuals we encounter have good seed planted in their hearts.

Jesus made it quite clear that there are ramifications to leading others astray.  The stakes are high when you are on a path which affects a great number of people.  There have been ministries in the past which have fallen apart due to the leadership’s persistent path of sin.  FATHER will not allow the sheep to be fleeced indefinitely.  There is a point where longsuffering has come to a conclusion and judgment must be enacted to correct the problem.

In Matthew chapter 5, Jesus issued a specific warning against adultery in the heart:

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

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

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

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

Whatever causes you to move away from FATHER, GET RID OF IT!  That is the message.  If a person persists in drawing you away, you must separate yourself in order to protect yourself from their impending judgment.  You can pray for that person from afar but do not take on their sin by association.  These are critical warnings or Jesus would not have brought them to our attention.  Let us be careful of our words, behavior, and associations for we should let nothing keep us from being a blessing to mankind.

On Christmas Eve our family exalted Our Savior by reading the Gospel of Luke about His birth and singing hymns of joy because of FATHER’S Love toward us manifested by Jesus Christ.

The Beloved Disciple by THE SPIRIT wrote in 1 John chapter 4:

7 Beloved, let us love one another, for love is of God; and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God.

8 He who does not love does not know God, for God is love.

9 In this the love of God was manifested toward us, that God has sent His only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through Him.

Most people are sitting around waiting for others to love them before they act.  The general exception is family.  We need to move on from conditional love and walk in unconditional Love if we are to fully mature in Christ.  Unconditional Love does not wait for people to perform in order for Love to act.  Love initiates relationships, healing, and restoration.  For FATHER so Loved the world HE acted and sent HIS first begotten Son for you and me.  Jesus did not sit inside a house having His disciples parade people through and minister to them.  He went forth to where they were at, teaching, preaching, and healing.

Love does not isolate Itself but becomes known by It’s willingness to give and serve others.  At yearend it is always a good time to make an assessment of our walk.  Are we Loving as FATHER Loves us or are we still lacking is some areas?  Are we sharing our resources with others or are we building greater barns for ourselves?  Love flows and nothing should restrict Its blessings to others.

FATHER sent His Son so that we could live through Him and ultimately for Him to live through us to others.  Let us expand our influence in the coming year by allowing greater flow of our gifts, resources, and calling.  Active Love is as a light that cannot be hid under a basket but should become the brightest light around.  This is a simple message that does not need to become complex in order to impact others.

I fully embrace this Word from FATHER and expect Servias to expand this coming year and reach more people.  This is what life is all about.  If you know of people who might benefit from these writings, share our link with them and make them aware of the Good News.

By THE SPIRIT in Luke chapter 12 Jesus taught the parable of the rich fool:

13 Then one from the crowd said to Him, “Teacher, tell my brother to divide the inheritance with me.”

14 But He said to him, “Man, who made Me a judge or an arbitrator over you?”

15 And He said to them, “Take heed and beware of covetousness, for one’s life does not consist in the abundance of the things he possesses.”

16 Then He spoke a parable to them, saying: “The ground of a certain rich man yielded plentifully.

17 And he thought within himself, saying, ‘What shall I do, since I have no room to store my crops?’

18 So he said, ‘I will do this: I will pull down my barns and build greater, and there I will store all my crops and my goods.

19 And I will say to my soul, “Soul, you have many goods laid up for many years; take your ease; eat, drink, and be merry.” ’

20 But God said to him, ‘Fool! This night your soul will be required of you; then whose will those things be which you have provided?’

21 “So is he who lays up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God.”

People plan for a myriad of reasons but it is better to seek guidance from FATHER and keep our perspective in line with laying riches up in Heaven rather than earthly treasures.  There is nothing wrong with saving and planning but it should not be at the expense of our Spiritual wellbeing and future.  Edwin Louis Cole who had a men’s ministry once said “Peace is the umpire of any decision” and I have found this little bit of wisdom to serve me well over the years.  When there is that gnawing conflict deep inside, it is a good indicator that whatever is at issue should be dealt with right away.  It may be time to reverse or alter your course.

Greed frequently causes people to act in a similar manner to the rich fool.  He had his future laid out only to find he didn’t have the future he expected.  This is why I keep directng our focus to being led by THE SPIRIT and spending time with FATHER.  We won’t be disappointed with our lives or our future.  Yes, there will be some who appear to be “living the life” but we must not focus on their temporary good fortune but instead be content with the path FATHER has us on.  We must remember that this world and its systems are not permanent but temporary in nature.  The circumstances existing today will change without notice.  Only FATHER knows how the future will play out so why not simply go to the SOURCE when planning for the future?

By THE SPIRIT Luke wrote in chapter 6:

12 Now it came to pass in those days that He went out to the mountain to pray, and continued all night in prayer to God.

13 And when it was day, He called His disciples to Himself; and from them He chose twelve whom He also named apostles

Jesus found in necessary to pray all night to FATHER and thus we should not take this time lightly.  He was about to select the twelve apostles among the other disciples.  There were three, there were twelve, and there were seventy who had various levels of disclosure in His earthly ministry.  Jesus Himself said that He and FATHER were One thus He took  His directives from FATHER at all times.  We too must be willing to spend the necessary time with FATHER as Jesus did.  His time with FATHER was not one of drudgery but instead of revitalization.  He prayed all night and was refreshed then ministered all day.

After His selection of the apostles:

17 And He came down with them and stood on a level place with a crowd of His disciples and a great multitude of people from all Judea and Jerusalem, and from the seacoast of Tyre and Sidon, who came to hear Him and be healed of their diseases,

18 as well as those who were tormented with unclean spirits. And they were healed.

19 And the whole multitude sought to touch Him, for power went out from Him and healed them all.

As we spend more time with FATHER we too will have the necessary resources to minister in a greater fashion.  Let us establish priorities which lay up riches in Heaven for that is our final destination.  WE must not assume that a two minute prayer can satisfy the requirements of each day but let us place priority on spending time with FATHER.  Consider a place without distraction.  If your mind wanders while meditating on the Word then speak to it and realign it with your priority and focus.  If you have a lot going on, write down all the issues at hand so you can clear your mind.  Spending time with FATHER should become our highest priority, not some occasional afterthought.

Jesus did not “accidentally” heal them all, He already knew what to expect by His quality time with FATHER.  Have a blessed Christmas as we celebrate Our Elder Brother on this day as we should everyday.

Many Believers have been lulled into a passive state by the world’s ways and traditions.  Everyday there is another news cycle that catches the attention of all who thirst for more information and stimulation.  There are those who are in constant search for something new and seek after signs which point to major change.  It was no different when Jesus walked the earth.  By THE SPIRIT John wrote in chapter 7:

25 Now some of them from Jerusalem said, “Is this not He whom they seek to kill?

26 But look! He speaks boldly, and they say nothing to Him. Do the rulers know indeed that this is truly the Christ?

27 However, we know where this Man is from; but when the Christ comes, no one knows where He is from.”

28 Then Jesus cried out, as He taught in the temple, saying, “You both know Me, and you know where I am from; and I have not come of Myself, but He who sent Me is true, whom you do not know.

29 But I know Him, for I am from Him, and He sent Me.”

30 Therefore they sought to take Him; but no one laid a hand on Him, because His hour had not yet come.

31 And many of the people believed in Him, and said, “When the Christ comes, will He do more signs than these which this Man has done?”

Without miracles, Christianity would just be another philosophy.  Because FATHER confirms HIS Word with signs and miracles we know this is the Way, the Truth, and the Life.  When the children of Israel were to be led out of Egypt, FATHER performed miracles as evidence they were HIS chosen people.  Elijah and Elisha’s ministries were confirmed by miracles.  Jesus spent as much time healing the sick as He preached the Gospel.  When John’s disciples were sent to confirm whether Jesus was the Messiah, Jesus spoke in Matthew chapter 11:

2 And when John had heard in prison about the works of Christ, he sent two of his disciples

3 and said to Him, “Are You the Coming One, or do we look for another?”

4 Jesus answered and said to them, “Go and tell John the things which you hear and see:

5 The blind see and the lame walk; the lepers are cleansed and the deaf hear; the dead are raised up and the poor have the gospel preached to them.

6 And blessed is he who is not offended because of Me.”

FATHER is still in the miracle-performing business today.  There are many religions and philosophies of man in this hour but there is only one Gospel of Christ and FATHER will confirm HIS Word with signs and wonders.  HE wants us to be one with HIM where we too will be able to say without any doubt whatsoever “I know Him, for I am from Him, and He sent Me.” 

Now is the time reaffirm our priority in being in full unity with HIM.  I expect this coming year to see major changes manifest among those who have been diligently seeking HIS FACE in an uncompromising manner.  We should no longer expect anything less than HIS Miracle Working Power flowing through us to those whom HE places before us.  We must veer not to the left or the right but walk that straight, narrow path into the fullness of Christ in us, the Hope of Glory.

In  Luke chapter 8 Jesus spoke:

16 “No one, when he has lit a lamp, covers it with a vessel or puts it under a bed, but sets it on a lampstand, that those who enter may see the light.

17 For nothing is secret that will not be revealed, nor anything hidden that will not be known and come to light.

18 Therefore take heed how you hear. For whoever has, to him more will be given; and whoever does not have, even what he seems to have will be taken from him.”

Jesus also posed the question: “For what profit is it to a man if he gains the whole world, and is himself destroyed or lost?”  Pay close attention to what you hear. The closer you listen, the more understanding you will be given—and you will receive even more.  This Truth is the key to expanding revelation.  The counterfeit to this is expanding information of the world.  We don’t need more opinions or philosophies of man, what we need is to hear FATHER’S Word to us for this very hour.

As I receive revelation on a daily basis I am compelled by Love to write to my brothers and sisters.  I look forward to where FATHER takes us each and every day for I know It is a guiding light for all who have eyes to see.  As each of us is drawn to this Light of the world we are better able to see ourselves in the mirror which reveals who we really are.

The universe is in an ever-expanding state and reflects FATHER’S Word and revelation to us.  We are becoming the light that is contrast against the darkness just as the sun, the moon, and the stars.  As we gain more light we begin to walk accordingly by THE SPIRIT.  The trappings of this world have no priority any longer.  We see the world’s answers as only temporary until the Glory of Heaven arrives among men.  Sickness and disease are no longer intimidating as the world attempts to instill fear in order to further promote its agenda.  Heavenly healthcare is the real solution.

Jesus warned “Take heed how you hear”.  We must guard ourselves against others taking us down a rabbit hole and redirecting our attention from the Good Tidings of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.  The simplicity of Christ’s message cannot be overstated.  We are to Love and plant seeds of Love.  There is a guaranteed prophecy found in every seed sown.  It WILL produce after its own kind.  An acorn will produce an oak tree every single time.  A wheat seed will produce wheat.  The Word will produce life wherever It is planted.  Let us focus on planting seeds of Love in each encounter.

As those who are HIS vessels of light proceed forward, Truth in all areas will be revealed.  Jesus told us to expect this as we mature in HIS Word.  This will impact all of mankind as everything hidden comes to the surface for all to see.  The subterfuge will no longer be allowed to prevail and affect HIS Beloved children.  In 2 Corinthians chapter 4 Paul wrote by THE SPIRIT:

3 But even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing,

4 whose minds the god of this age has blinded, who do not believe, lest the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine on them.

5 For we do not preach ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord, and ourselves your bondservants for Jesus’ sake.

6 For it is the God who commanded light to shine out of darkness, who has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.

I am HIS vessel and respond to HIS Call.  Let us be ready to respond to HIS Word in every situation.  As FATHER further reveals to us who we are IN CHRIST, let us walk accordingly.  Jesus assured and encouraged us that we are to be like Him.  As He is so are we.  Let us set aside every weight that would prevent us in walking IN HIM at all times.  As our walk matures, we will receive further revelation applicable to the needs of the situation at hand.  Our revelation will continue to expand and see more clearly than ever before.

By THE SPIRIT Luke wrote in chapter 6:

17 And He (Jesus) came down with them and stood on a level place with a crowd of His disciples and a great multitude of people from all Judea and Jerusalem, and from the seacoast of Tyre and Sidon, who came to hear Him and be healed of their diseases,

18 as well as those who were tormented with unclean spirits. And they were healed.

19 And the whole multitude sought to touch Him, for power went out from Him and healed them all.

FATHER is not reluctant to heal all.  In fact, HE sent His Son to reveal to us that HIS Power is available to heal all who are afflicted.  Each and every day people are exposed to the noise of the world which fills our minds with unbelief in regard to HIS Divine Intent.  Organizations have been established to promote healing by just about any other means except by Divine means.  People are willing to gather and be in unity to “Run for the Cure” or “Breast Cancer Awareness” month yet the solution has been given in its simplest form- faith in Our Heavenly Father and HIS Divine Power.

FATHER sent Jesus to reveal Him to us so that we could mature IN HIM and operate in the same manner.  Jesus was not plagued with sickness and disease nor should we.  Each of us has been given the choice of how we live our lives- good or bad.  As for me, I choose to embrace the promises given to me by FATHER in all areas.  My wife and I have both been Divinely healed in the past and know with certainty that FATHER is still in the healing business.  Am I against doctors?  No, not at all.  Until we are fully immersed in HIS Word in the area of need, utilize all resources available to sustain ourselves until our faith is built up.  Jesus did not chastise men for using crutches to get around prior to be healed by Him.

The Word has the power within itself to cause it to come to pass.  FATHER looks over HIS Word to perform it.  In 1 Kings chapter 12 FATHER spoke to Solomon:

11 Then the word of the LORD came to Solomon, saying:

12 “Concerning this temple which you are building, if you walk in My statutes, execute My judgments, keep all My commandments, and walk in them, then I will perform My word with you, which I spoke to your father David.

13 And I will dwell among the children of Israel, and will not forsake My people Israel.”

Is FATHER unwilling to fulfill HIS Word concerning healing?  Of course not.  Did Jesus assure us that we were meant to do greater acts than Him?  Yes, without a doubt.  The power to heal awaits us as we fully embrace HIS Word.  We must purge our hearts of the unbelief brought on by the constant unbelief promoted by the world.  The Word cleanses us of this unbelief and as we immerse ourselves and set ourselves apart from the influence of the world, our faith increases.  We must protect HIS Word and let it spring forth in our hearts.  Jesus went about teaching and preaching Good News.  People heard the Word and their faith increased.  Jesus healed them all.

Another reason FATHER sent Jesus was to show us “us”, who we really are.  By THE SPIRIT Paul wrote in 1 Corinthians chapter 13:

11 When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child; but when I became a man, I put away childish things.

12 For now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part, but then I shall know just as I also am known.

In other words:

Now we see things imperfectly, like puzzling reflections in a mirror, but then we will see everything with perfect clarity.All that I know now is partial and incomplete, but then I will know everything completely, just as God now knows me completely.

FATHER knows us better than we know ourselves.  We have been blinded in the past to the reality of who we truly are.  Jesus revealed that we too are HIS Sons and Daughters with an inheritance greater than what this world has to offer.  Unless we become aware of an inheritance, we will not know to access it.  These writings are intended to encourage you to seek out your inheritance IN HIM.  There is Divine Power that awaits HIS vessels of honor to tap into, not for consumption but to be a blessing to mankind.  We must not only receive power from On High but we must allow it to flow through us as well to those in need.  Let us not only pursue the Divine Power but let us Love and allow the flow of Power to go forth and minister life and healing to all willing to receive.
