Walking In Faith

October 29th, 2016

Faith is the steadfast belief in FATHER’S Word above all else no matter what our five physical senses would communicate to the contrary.  By THE SPIRIT it is written in Hebrews chapter 11:

1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

2 For by it the elders obtained a good testimony.

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.

In order to embrace the fullness of the above passage, we must not only read HIS Word but hear HIS Word spoken to us and respond to HIS Word by acting upon It.  This is a major factor in ascending to a higher level of maturity.  Abraham did not have the Old and New Testament to refer to when he responded to FATHER’S Word given to him.  He simply believed what he heard from FATHER.  We tend to believe it is more difficult to hear and believe FATHER’S Voice than to open our Bible and read what HE told someone else resulting in them recording HIS Word and then discerning its appropriateness for our situation.

We need to expect to hear FATHER and walk by HIS SPIRIT.  Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Moses, Isaiah, Jeremiah, and others did.  The Scriptures should become a reference rather than the sole Source of FATHER’S directives.

Jesus found it necessary to separate Himself on a daily basis to spend time with FATHER.  We should do the same.  If the first Begotten Son established it as a necessity, shouldn’t we?  This is a very simple and straightforward Truth.  If FATHER will talk directly to those who are listed in faith’s hall of fame in the 11th chapter of Hebrews, we should expect HIM to speak to us directly.  HE isn’t the problem, our willingness to hear HIM is the issue at hand.  Press in and don’t give up for the noise of the world is deafening and has impacted our hearing.  Ask FATHER to open your eyes and ears and then set your expectation accordingly.  It is time we are to be led by THE SPIRIT.

From Darkness To Light

October 28th, 2016

By THE SPIRIT Paul wrote in Ephesians chapter 5:

8 For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of light

9 (for the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness, righteousness, and truth),

10 finding out what is acceptable to the Lord.

11 And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather expose them.

12 For it is shameful even to speak of those things which are done by them in secret.

13 But all things that are exposed are made manifest by the light, for whatever makes manifest is light.

14 Therefore He says:

​​​“Awake, you who sleep,

​​Arise from the dead,

​​And Christ will give you light.”

The Hebrew day begins at nightfall or “darkness” and proceeds to light and this is the same manner by which we mature from blindness to revelation.  In these days of instant gratification, many people are unwilling to press in to the Spiritual for an extended period of time.  They simply give up and succumb to the cares of the world.  We must persevere and continue in patience as the light of day grows stronger.

It is Christ Who will give us light and no other path can accomplish this same result.  There are those who claim to be enlightened only to continue to grope around in the darkness of their illusion.  In Matthew chapter 12, Jesus spoke:

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.”

As we continue to progress into the brightness of the day, we should expect our fruit to be a testimony to our revelation.  We must put actions to the revelation given unto us and not withhold any good fruit from those who are willing to partake.  We will spread the Gospel by Word and deed, not just Word only.  As we do, the light will grow brighter and FATHER’S Blessings will follow us.

We will no longer be swayed by those who persist in remaining in the dark but will distance ourselves from their doctrines of death and destruction.  We will no longer have fellowship with darkness and when judgment arrives on them we will not experience the collateral damage.  You can be assured that FATHER will correct and discipline those who persist in their path toward the darkness.

In the Holy of Holies the only light Source is the Glory of FATHER for there is no other light needed.  Let us proceed to the light and refrain from looking back for we are called to be the Children of the Light!

The Thorns

October 27th, 2016

It is written by THE SPIRIT in Genesis chapter 3:

17 Then to Adam He said, “Because you have heeded the voice of your wife, and have eaten from the tree of which I commanded you, saying, ‘You shall not eat of it’:

​​​“Cursed is the ground for your sake;

​​In toil you shall eat of it

​​All the days of your life.

18 ​​Both thorns and thistles it shall bring forth for you,

​​And you shall eat the herb of the field.

19 ​​In the sweat of your face you shall eat bread

​​Till you return to the ground,

​​For out of it you were taken;

​​For dust you are,

​​And to dust you shall return.”

Thorns represent the curse that came upon man when he fell.  Thistles represent useless plants.  The Hebrew word for thorn is derived from the removal of fruit resulting in wounding and bleeding.  I believe we get the picture of the curse upon man.  We have often heard of reversing the curse which denotes elapsed time but I say to you Jesus removed the curse at the cross.

“In the sweat of your face you shall eat bread” indicates eating bread will be the result of painful toil in the fields.  This curse suggests to us that scarcity will exist because of the amount of work required simply to eat.  Yet Jesus was not subject to this curse when He fed the 5,000 with five loaves and two fishes.  He was not subject to time delay in growing, harvesting, milling the flour, and baking.  On the contrary, He relied on His relationship and directives by FATHER to multiply the food for the multitudes.

Proverbs 22:5  Thorns and snares are in the way of the perverse;
He who guards his soul will be far from them.

The curse is a snare to those who live according to the flesh and we are instructed to guard our soul so that we can be free from the curse.  How can we be free?  By embracing the work of the cross where Jesus took authority over the curse of Genesis chapter 3.  By THE SPIRIT Isaiah prophesied of that day in chapter 10:

17  So the Light of Israel will be for a fire,
And his Holy One for a flame;
It will burn and devour
His thorns and his briers in one day.

In Matthew 27, little did the soldiers know that they were doing their part in fulfilling the prophecies concerning the curse:

29  When they had twisted a crown of thorns, they put it on His head, and a reed in His right hand. And they bowed the knee before Him and mocked Him, saying, “Hail, King of the Jews!”

Jesus took the curse upon His head as a crown.  The crown represents authority over a kingdom and in this case it represents the world.  Jesus bore the weight of the curse in its entirety and took complete authority over the curse once and for all.  In one day the curse was removed just as in one day it was established.  We should accept the removal of the curse and embrace this reality.  The world would have us believe that there are curses in play today and we must constantly deal with those curses.  Let us proclaim the Blood of Jesus Christ over any curse attempting to plague us today.  By accepting the crown of thorns, Jesus has full authority over all curses thus we should submit to this highest authority and accept nothing less.

The Thorns

October 27th, 2016

It is written by THE SPIRIT in Genesis chapter 3:

17 Then to Adam He said, “Because you have heeded the voice of your wife, and have eaten from the tree of which I commanded you, saying, ‘You shall not eat of it’:

​​​“Cursed is the ground for your sake;

​​In toil you shall eat of it

​​All the days of your life.

18 ​​Both thorns and thistles it shall bring forth for you,

​​And you shall eat the herb of the field.

19 ​​In the sweat of your face you shall eat bread

​​Till you return to the ground,

​​For out of it you were taken;

​​For dust you are,

​​And to dust you shall return.”

Thorns represent the curse that came upon man when he fell.  Thistles represent useless plants.  The Hebrew word for thorn is derived from the removal of fruit resulting in wounding and bleeding.  I believe we get the picture of the curse upon man.  We have often heard of reversing the curse which denotes elapsed time but I say to you Jesus removed the curse at the cross.

The curse is a snare to those who live according to the flesh and we are instructed to guard our soul so that we can be free from the curse.  How can we be free?  By embracing the work of the cross where Jesus took authority over the curse of Genesis chapter 3.  By THE SPIRIT Isaiah prophesied of that day in chapter 10:

17  So the Light of Israel will be for a fire,
And his Holy One for a flame;

Live According to THE SPIRIT

October 26th, 2016

Paul wrote by THE SPIRIT in Romans chapter 8:

12 Therefore, brethren, we are debtors—not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh.

13 For if you live according to the flesh you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live.

14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God.

We have the capacity and ability to live according to THE SPIRIT.  If we were unable to walk in such a manner, FATHER would not reveal this Truth.  Thus if this Truth has been revealed to us, we have an obligation to pursue it.  FATHER has revealed HIMSELF and HIS Way to us in order for us to walk accordingly so let us set aside the things of the flesh and direct our focus on these important Truths given to us by HIS SPIRIT.

None of us want to die.  However by living passively and non-purposeful we slowly but surely move toward death.  Jesus directed the disciples to “Go”, not just sit on a pillow inside a tent waiting for the world to come and seek their wisdom.  We are to be active for Christ in order to be His full expression on the earth.  We are to grow, mature, and be productive.  We are to be a blessing to others rather than just self-serving.

The Holy Spirit is likened to the wind which is in movement by definition.  Sitting in front of the TV doing nothing produces no air movement whatsoever.  By THE SPIRIT James wrote in chapter 2:

14 What does it profit, my brethren, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can faith save him?

15 If a brother or sister is naked and destitute of daily food,

16 and one of you says to them, “Depart in peace, be warmed and filled,” but you do not give them the things which are needed for the body, what does it profit?

17 Thus also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead.

What is the point of revelation without producing fruit?  Our goal is not to become professional students but rather to become expressions of HIS Love.  Our goal is to not just survive but to flourish and be a blessing to mankind.  Jesus was not a isolationist but went out an ministered the Word and healed many.  He set the Standard and became our example of what to say and do as the perfect expression of FATHER’S Will.  Yes, there is a time to receive our marching orders but then there comes a time to “march”.

If you see a need and have the wherewithal to fulfill it, then just “do it”.  Jesus saw that the people were hungry after listening to Him for many hours and He did something about their hunger, He fed them.  We need to be oriented in the same manner.  We are the solution to the world’s problems if only we will embrace the responsibility of being “Sons of GOD”.

By reading these words I believe FATHER has drawn you to the reality of living according to THE SPIRIT.  HE has opened your eyes as well as mine to the higher Truths HE wants us to walk in.  Let us embrace these Truths and by faith walk according to them this very day.  Let us look to be a blessing to others as we live out each day.  As we walk in Love toward our fellow man, we will become as eye salve to them and they will begin to see FATHER in us.  Life is all about changing and progressing into a higher, more mature state.  Full maturity simply requires us to take one step at a time toward our goal.  Let us make the choice each day to rise up to that higher state presented to us by FATHER and live according to THE SPIRIT.

The Fullness of Christ

October 25th, 2016

By THE SPIRIT Paul wrote in Ephesians chapter 4:

11 And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers,

12 for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ,

13 till we all come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ;

14 that we should no longer be children, tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, in the cunning craftiness of deceitful plotting,

15 but, speaking the truth in love, may grow up in all things into Him who is the head—Christ—

16 from whom the whole body, joined and knit together by what every joint supplies, according to the effective working by which every part does its share, causes growth of the body for the edifying of itself in love.

The purpose of the five-fold ministry of apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, and teachers is to serve and build up the Body of Christ through the motivation of Love.  If done in that manner then the Body of Christ will be perfected into full unity of the faith.  By this you can observe the fruit of any ministry and determine if this straightforward mandate is being fulfilled.  Love must be at the center of focus in each of the five-fold ministries otherwise self interest creeps in and men begin to build another temporal kingdom to suit their own needs as the Body of Christ suffers in some aspect.

If we are part of this Body of Christ then we should have Christ in our focus at all times for we are His.  As we mature we should expect to become more Christ-like and take on His qualities.  Our priorities should change and thus our attention will shift from the things of the world to the deeper Spiritual matters.  We should expect peace in our lives to increase as well as joy.

As we follow the Truth, the Truth will follow us.  Though men try to deceive us, FATHER will expose them and protect us from their tricks, craftiness, and deceitful plotting.  In some cases FATHER will use us to expose such plots.  FATHER will order our steps so that we can minister to those who are now ready to have ears to hear.  There will be some we pass by without saying a word for they are not yet ready to receive.  According to HIS purpose we express HIS Love to those willing to accept it.

Spiritual occurrences and events become more frequent in our lives.  We are not troubled but know that the veil between the physical and the Spiritual has been removed in order that we will flow in HIS power and authority without resistance.  The Heavenly Hosts are among us fulfilling FATHER’S plan, Will, and purpose.  As we continue to move toward unity FATHER allows us to see more clearly and understand the need for HIS judgments to come forth.  We no longer see this physical life as the “endgame” but only as a small part of eternity.  With that in mind, we can release people more easily and allow them to receive their correction from FATHER without our intervention.

The Truth is the Standard by which we live and we are unwilling to accept anything less.  The Truth will divide mankind into two major groups- the Body of Christ and everyone else.  In the final analysis the Body of Christ will minister to the other group as FATHER leads so we must focus on becoming fully mature in order that we can most effectively minister to all mankind.  We must pursue unity in Love and quit attempting to divide but rather to see what we have in common.  We must acknowledge that there is only one agenda to pursue and it comes from FATHER.  HE has the final say in what we pursue so we should focus on hearing HIM in all situations.

Let each on of us become as Christ and express His qualities.  Let His Love be expressed in our word and deed.  As we do His Body will become spotless and without wrinkle.

Our White Robes

October 24th, 2016

By THE SPIRIT the Beloved Disciple John wrote in the Revelation of Jesus Christ chapter 7:

13 Then one of the elders answered, saying to me, “Who are these arrayed in white robes, and where did they come from?”

14 And I said to him, “Sir, you know.”

So he said to me, “These are the ones who come out of the great tribulation, and washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.

15 Therefore they are before the throne of God, and serve Him day and night in His temple. And He who sits on the throne will dwell among them.

16 They shall neither hunger anymore nor thirst anymore; the sun shall not strike them, nor any heat;

17 for the Lamb who is in the midst of the throne will shepherd them and lead them to living fountains of waters. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.”

We must not fear the great tribulation for FATHER will deliver us out of it if we are ordained to go through it.  We must also realize that HE has given each of us the strength to withstand all the challenges we face no matter where and when they occur.  Just as FATHER did not remove HIS chosen people from Egypt when the death angel passed over, HE will not rapture HIS Chosen but will protect them just as HE did during the tribulation in Egypt.

The robes or outer garments will be washed and made white.  The sins and carnal nature will be removed and the past will be blotted out, behold all things become new.  This mystery must be embraced as we head into the coming weeks, months, and years.  We must not let the enemy use our past to beat us up.  Instead we must hold onto the Truth of this mystery that FATHER can, will, and has removed our past by the Blood of Christ.  Our robes become white without blemish and spot so that we can be the perfect bride of Christ.

The light of the sun will no longer expose any of our past sins for they have been removed.  Hallelujah to The King!  Our gratitude should rise up within where Heavenly Songs will come forth out of our mouths to express the overwhelming Love for the ONE WHO redeemed us.

Our sadness will depart for no longer do we suffer or feel loss in our beings.  We are fully restored as well as our loved ones whom we thought we lost.  Our days of limitation are over for FATHER sees to it that we no longer hunger or thirst but are fulfilled in every way.  The days of scarcity are gone.  The inner turmoil has been replaced with the overflowing of peace in our hearts for we have fully arrived into FATHER’S Presence and dwell around HIS Throne of power and authority.

Must we wait for some future date for this to take place?  I say this reality is obtainable now if we will embrace it.  In Hebrews chapter 4 the writer penned these words by THE SPIRIT:

16 Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.

HIS Throne is accessible to us now so let us not waste another heartbeat in separation from HIS Throne.  We are told to come boldly, not as some reluctant person who believes he is unworthy to approach.  We must get over the past and bury it for good.  We must quit dredging up others’ past as well.  Let bygones be bygones and forgive one another just as Christ has forgiven us.  The Truth is if FATHER did not wash our robes, none of us could stand before the Throne and survive.

FATHER created us, placed us on earth to experience our calling, and also takes on the responsibility to restore us to HIM.  Let us embrace the journey, forgive the past, and accept our white robes.  Let us not be moved by the past shortcomings and failures, FATHER isn’t.

Our Eyes Opened

October 23rd, 2016

In the Revelation of Jesus Christ the Beloved Disciple wrote what he saw and heard in THE SPIRIT in chapter 3:

18 I counsel you to buy from Me gold refined in the fire, that you may be rich; and white garments, that you may be clothed, that the shame of your nakedness may not be revealed; and anoint your eyes with eye salve, that you may see.

19 As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten. Therefore be zealous and repent.

20 Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me.

21 To him who overcomes I will grant to sit with Me on My throne, as I also overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne.

To “buy from Me gold” means we have to pay the price to obtain the Divine Nature represented by the white garments.  If we are given eye salve in order to see, only then do we comprehend our true state.  We are either clothed in HIS white garments or we are naked in our sinful fleshly state.  I sense that it is becoming critical in the days ahead to scrutinize our intent and actions for we are coming to a critical juncture of some type.  FATHER continues to reinforce the need to change… now!

FATHER is bringing this to our attention out of HIS unceasing Love for us and we should not delay in our response to HIS call to change.  HIS Glory will fill our temples for this is where HE wishes to dwell.  As HE has instructed me to write, HE will change our past by wiping away our sins and behold we become pure and white, ready to receive the fullness of HIS Glory!  Let our ever heartbeat given by HIM be for the purpose of HIS Indwelling Presence in our temple.  It is our choice.

Do you hear the knocking?  Hear HIS Voice today for behold HE is calling us to sup with HIM.  What an invitation to sit with Our Lord Jesus Christ and partake together!  We have been invited to rule and reign with Him and sit with Him at the Seat of His Power so that we too can fully express the Love of Christ to all mankind.  We are to let the Word of Christ dwell within us in all Wisdom.

Those who abuse or misuse their anointing will have that power removed and their nakedness will be revealed.  Those around them will see the Truth of who they really are.  The revealing of the Truth is at hand for all to see.  We must trust FATHER to fully clothe us in HIS Righteous white garments.  HIS Divine Nature is more valuable than anything found on this earth thus let us pursue Heavenly riches rather than the temporal.

By the same SPIRIT, Paul wrote in Ephesians chapter 1:

18 the eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that you may know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints,

19 and what is the exceeding greatness of His power toward us who believe, according to the working of His mighty power

20 which He worked in Christ when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly places,

21 far above all principality and power and might and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age but also in that which is to come.

Amen!

The Wicked Shall Perish

October 22nd, 2016

What must take place for the wicked to perish?  In these times sin and lawlessness are found everywhere yet we know FATHER will respond and bring forth HIS Righteous judgments throughout the land.  HIS Righteousness demands that those who are lawless be exposed in their perverseness and blindness.  HE does this by raising up a standard by which all are measured.

When Jesus walked the earth, His presence provided the stark contrast to those in charge.  In Matthew chapter 3, John the Baptist spoke by THE SPIRIT:

7 But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming to his baptism, he said to them, “Brood of vipers! Who warned you to flee from the wrath to come?

8 Therefore bear fruits worthy of repentance,

9 and do not think to say to yourselves, ‘We have Abraham as our father.’ For I say to you that God is able to raise up children to Abraham from these stones.

10 And even now the ax is laid to the root of the trees. Therefore every tree which does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire”

I am sure the Pharisees and Sadducees were feeling pretty good about themselves the day before Jesus arrived on the scene.  However once Jesus’ ministry began, theirs started to decline and John prophesied of the judgments which would result from this Standard being raised up.

Men represent trees in Scripture and the deciding factor to their judgment is fruit.  Fire is meant to purge us of the impurities of our past, effectively wiping away our past.  FATHER has the ability and willingness to wipe away all of our past and fully purify our hearts.  Consider the impact of this Truth.  Our past can be totally changed for FATHER is not subject to time and can remove all of our sins, HE can and will blot them out.  Our minds may have difficulty in grasping this reality but consider this major Truth.  All of our past wickedness, lawlessness, spot, wrinkle, and sin are totally erased.  With that in mind, in the Revelation of Jesus Christ chapter 21:

3 And I heard a loud voice from heaven saying, “Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people. God Himself will be with them and be their God.

4 And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away.”

5 Then He who sat on the throne said, “Behold, I make all things new.” And He said to me, “Write, for these words are true and faithful.”

FATHER will remove the “former things” in our lives and the result is that we become fully righteous in HIS Eyes.  What a blessing!  HE can and will purify our hearts of all the dross from our past and thus we can stand on the Word found in Matthew chapter 5: 

8  Blessed are the pure in heart,
For they shall see God.

Why would FATHER blot out the sins of our past?  This is what Love does.  We must consider those who are chief among the sinners can and will be restored at some point thus we must be careful not to judge according to our own understanding.  Saul was an enemy of the believers on one day whereas the next day he was called by Jesus and began preparation to minister the Gospel.  His past did not prevent FATHER from using him, neither will ours.  This is true of those who are represented by the Pharisees and Sadducees as well.

As we fully embrace the reality of FATHER transforming us into pure, righteous vessels, we can then embrace the revelation of being able to produce nothing but good fruit in our walk.  We can expect Psalm 112 to apply to us:

1 Praise the LORD!

​​​Blessed is the man who fears the LORD,

​​Who delights greatly in His commandments.

​2 ​​His descendants will be mighty on earth;

​​The generation of the upright will be blessed.

3 ​​Wealth and riches will be in his house,

​​And his righteousness endures forever.

4 ​​Unto the upright there arises light in the darkness;

​​He is gracious, and full of compassion, and righteous.

5 ​​A good man deals graciously and lends;

​​He will guide his affairs with discretion.

6 ​​Surely he will never be shaken;

​​The righteous will be in everlasting remembrance.

7 ​​He will not be afraid of evil tidings;

​​His heart is steadfast, trusting in the LORD.

8 ​​His heart is established;

​​He will not be afraid,

​​Until he sees his desire upon his enemies.

​9 ​​He has dispersed abroad,

​​He has given to the poor;

​​His righteousness endures forever;

​​His horn will be exalted with honor.

10 ​​The wicked will see it and be grieved;

​​He will gnash his teeth and melt away;

​​The desire of the wicked shall perish.

The Word of Christ

October 21st, 2016

By THE SPIRIT Paul wrote in Colossians chapter 3:

16  Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.

The phrase “Word of Christ” appears only once in Scripture yet it is of critical importance in maturing toward perfection.  In order for the “Word of Christ” to dwell in us, it must first enter in and that is done by our decision to accept HIS Word and live by it.  To dwell means to take up residence and remain there.  The Living Word must enter in and remain in our hearts in order to be rich in all of FATHER’S Wisdom.  We should not expect to become mature if we don’t allow FATHER’S Word to become central to our being.

We all want to be rich in Wisdom and Paul discloses the mystery which will allow us to access this Wisdom: Let the Word of Christ continually dwell in our hearts.  This will allow us to effectively teach, instruct, and reveal solutions to the issues and challenges we face.  The word admonish means to express warning or disapproval to especially in a gentle, earnest, or solicitous manner.  How can we appropriately warn others if we don’t have the Living Word in us?  A warning should also have the alternative to the current path the person is on.  If we tell a person to stop something, we should encourage the person to go in a different direction as Wisdom directs.

A Spiritual Song has an eternal nature about it.  We are “wired” to remember songs over time.  Having played in a band in my youth, I can still pick up a guitar and play many of the songs we learned.  When words are wrapped in music, they stand the test of time.  The Song of Moses (Exodus 15) was given to recall the deliverance and victory by FATHER over the Egyptians.

In the Revelation of Jesus Christ the Song of Moses is sung in chapter 15:

2 And I saw something like a sea of glass mingled with fire, and those who have the victory over the beast, over his image and over his mark and over the number of his name, standing on the sea of glass, having harps of God.

3 They sing the song of Moses, the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying:

​​​“Great and marvelous are Your works,

​​Lord God Almighty!

​​Just and true are Your ways,

​​O King of the saints!

4 ​​Who shall not fear You, O Lord, and glorify Your name?

​​For You alone are holy.

​​For all nations shall come and worship before You,

​​For Your judgments have been manifested.”

Let the Word of Christ dwell in our hearts and let us sing the song of victory as chaos is overcome by FATHER’S judgments.  We are quickly approaching a point in time of a major change on earth.  Let us sing unto FATHER with a grateful heart.  Let every heartbeat be a testimony to HIS Love expressed in us.  Let every heartbeat move us toward the intimacy only found IN HIM.  Let no heartbeat be wasted by walking in the flesh any longer but instead let us sing Spiritual songs unto HIM expressing our praise and gratitude in all areas of our lives.  Let the fullness of the Word of Christ be found dwelling within us producing good fruit for those around us to eat.
