In Psalm 118, it is written:

8 ​​It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in man.

9 ​​It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in princes.

The world continues to grow in uncertainty but be of good cheer, FATHER is always available and willing to intervene on our behalf.  Man would have us believe difficulties are to be avoided whereas FATHER tells us to overcome the difficulties placed in our paths.  We must quit being fearful of the unknown but instead place our full and complete trust IN HIM.

Even the most reliable and trustworthy of men can and will fail us at some point so we must place our trust in the ONE WHO will always be with us in our time of need.  In Matthew chapter 13, Jesus warned us of the wicked who would practice lawlessness and mature along side of us as we grow into the revelation of Love:

37 He answered and said to them: “He who sows the good seed is the Son of Man.

38 The field is the world, the good seeds are the sons of the kingdom, but the tares are the sons of the wicked one.

39 The enemy who sowed them is the devil, the harvest is the end of the age, and the reapers are the angels.

40 Therefore as the tares are gathered and burned in the fire, so it will be at the end of this age.

41 The Son of Man will send out His angels, and they will gather out of His kingdom all things that offend, and those who practice lawlessness,

42 and will cast them into the furnace of fire. There will be wailing and gnashing of teeth.

43 Then the righteous will shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He who has ears to hear, let him hear!

We must acknowledge the existence of the “tares”, those who practice and promote lawlessness for they are a reality in this current age.  We must fully understand that FATHER will send HIS angels to gather and remove the lawless ones from our midst.  They will be purged of their lawless and wicked ways by a purifying fire.  Their wailing will come forth when they see the error of their ways.

We must realize that the tares of the world are maturing in wickedness and lawlessness at the same time we are maturing in Godliness and Love.  Thus we must not be surprised at all the perverseness at hand.  Men and women are promoting perversity and basically attacking FATHER’S intelligent design of the physiology of mankind at all levels, even down to the atomic level.  Should we challenge FATHER’S Divine Intent?  Of course not.  Instead we should trust HIM and know that the only issue at hand is to discover HIS Intent in all matters.

The Truth is simple whereas those who consistently lie are required to create complexity in order to hide their lies.  Our only challenge is to discover intent behind the actions of those whom we come in contact with or rule over us.  We must ask FATHER for discernment as we are confronted with the current complexities of life and allow the Holy Spirit to guide our hearts in all matters.  Mankind can attempt to control external communications but they are unable to impede what FATHER instructs us by HIS SPIRIT.  Let us place our full trust IN HIM and know that HE will guide us through all the uncertainty at hand.  HE is Author of our peace and Jesus is the author and finisher of our faith.  Let us continue our walk in hope, faith, and Love knowing our trust is IN HIM.

In Isaiah chapter 57 we find:

20 ​​But the wicked are like the troubled sea, when it cannot rest, whose waters cast up mire and dirt.

​21 ​​“There is no peace,” says my God, “for the wicked.”

The turbulent sea represents the lowest level man resides in.  The angel in Revelation reveals this to John in chapter 17:

15 Then he said to me, “The waters which you saw, where the harlot sits, are peoples, multitudes, nations, and tongues.”

There is much turmoil occurring around the world in some form or fashion.  People are in a state of unrest whether it be politically, socially, or economically.  The seas are troubled and we are beginning to see what the angel told John in the Revelation of Our Lord Jesus Christ.

As we move forward during these turbulent times, we will be tested to reveal what is in our hearts.  What will be found?  Will it be Love, faith, and hope?  In Jeremiah chapter 17 we read:

9 ​​“The heart is deceitful above all things,

​​And desperately wicked;

​​Who can know it?

10 ​​I, the LORD, search the heart,

​​I test the mind,

​​Even to give every man according to his ways,

​​According to the fruit of his doings.

We must be rooted and grounded in Love in the very core of our heart in order to operate in the peace of the Heavenlies as the turmoil in the lower realms increase.  Will FATHER find Divine unconditional Love as HE searches our hearts?  You can be assured that our hearts will be tested to see where we really are in our walk WITH HIM.  Our priorities will be assessed for their relevance to HIS direction and we will be shown exactly where we stand in our progress toward full maturity IN HIM.  Time is of the essence and it is important to redirect our focus to those things which are enduring rather than the temporal.

In Matthew chapter 8 the disciples were to be tested to reveal where they were at spiritually:

23 Now when He got into a boat, His disciples followed Him.

24 And suddenly a great tempest arose on the sea, so that the boat was covered with the waves. But He was asleep.

25 Then His disciples came to Him and awoke Him, saying, “Lord, save us! We are perishing!”

26 But He said to them, “Why are you fearful, O you of little faith?” Then He arose and rebuked the winds and the sea, and there was a great calm.

27 So the men marveled, saying, “Who can this be, that even the winds and the sea obey Him?”

If you are walking in the same manner as Jesus walked, you will not be affected by the troubled sea of humanity.  Instead you will take command of the situation and cast down any fear that might attempt to gain a foothold.  You will be the calming force as all around you are losing their heads.  Your Love and faith will be tested and found to be strong.  We should all be focused on strengthening ourselves in this area.  The winds may blow but our house will not fall.

As I wrote yesterday, there is a serious need for healing, health, and restoration in the world at this time yet what is the missing piece to this puzzle?  There is a definite lack of understanding among the brethren preventing the anointing power to be released.  Is FATHER simply withholding this healing anointing?  Is the problem in Heaven?  No, I believe the source of the problem resides here on earth.

Mankind has resorted to formulas and concoctions for healing rather than seeking FATHER in a most earnest manner.  Much of our focus has been redirected to the external realm rather than understanding the internal, spiritual source of health and healing.  Don’t get me wrong, I am not opposed to seeking medical professional assistance if I am unable to receive healing through Spiritual avenues.  What it tells me is that there is something impeding FATHER’S healing power from flowing in me to address my malady.  Until I know the source of the problem, I should seek relief of what ever is ailing me so that I can return my focus to the core issue.  What happened to me in 1984 is a perfect example of this situation.

In the spring of 1984 I was diagnosed with hepatitis from shellfish and it was the worst case the clinic had ever seen.  They later told me they thought I would die.  I had been believing FATHER for Divine health for years and had walked accordingly.  “Why did this happen?’ I asked.  HE said, “You are void of MY Word in this area!”  My mind needed renewed to the reality of HIS Word in my life.  The healing flow had ceased and I had not realized the need to keep nourished in this area of The Word.  Life throws many challenges our way and we are exposed to many adverse conditions and I had become predisposed to dealing with issues rather than keeping refreshed in HIS Word.  I needed to gain a full understanding in this area.

Once FATHER explained my weakness to me, I responded and was miraculously healed.  HIS Word healed me.  HE gave me the understanding that would serve me well in future situations.  It was a lesson I would never forget.  Once you have been healed by HIS Healing Power, you know that HIS best is for you to be healed by HIM.  HE did not discourage me from going to the doctor for HE knew I was lacking in the revelation required for healing to take place.  We should not feel guilty if we missed the mark but simply correct the situation and move forward.  The goal is to mature in our understanding so that we can live in a more productive manner and minister life to others.

I said all that to say this, HE awoke me this morning to this passage in Ephesians chapter 3:

17 that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love,

18 may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and depth and height—

19 to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.

If you want to gain a full understanding, YOU  MUST be rooted and grounded in Love… PERIOD!  Failure to understand this passage will only result in further heartache and frustration.  Now is the time to focus on committing to (or recommitting to) this path.  Your ability to comprehend and receive the fullness of FATHER in your life is determined by your Love walk.  Without this core commitment all your other activities and focus will not sustain you in the times ahead.  Simply repent and refocus.

In Matthew chapter 8, it is written:

16 When evening had come, they brought to Him many who were demon-possessed. And He cast out the spirits with a word, and healed all who were sick,

17 that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Isaiah the prophet, saying:

​​​“He Himself took our infirmities and bore our sicknesses.”

Over the course of my life I have witnessed and can attest to many healings by the power of Our Heavenly Father, myself included.  Thus no one can convince me that HE is no longer in the “healing” business.  One must ask why are there so many who are now afflicted in some manner? 

I believe in general that our focus has been redirected to rely on other lesser means of healing and we have placed our faith in those areas instead of seeking the higher realms.  This is not meant to cast any blame on anyone and it is not intended to make anyone feel guilty.  However, let us expose the problem so it can be openly dealt with in accordance with HIS Word.

Do we believe the Scripture or not?  Are we willing to pursue the answer or will we allow our minds to justify why HIS healing power is not first and foremost in our lives?  I am saddened as I hear of my brothers and sisters who are going through pain and suffering due to serious illnesses.  I know for a certainty that FATHER can fully heal and restore them yet HIS power to heal is not being accessed in many cases.

I believe that we have been subjected to so much “noise” that it has become difficult to hear HIS Voice in the area of healing.  There are persistent advertisements for symptom management and we have been convinced by those outside influences to seek immediate relief rather than discovering the root of the problem.  Mankind has tampered with the genetics of food sources to the point where our bodies are being overloaded with toxins without us knowing.  Our immune systems are being overcome by excessive toxins.

I believe we must effectively clear the slate and return to the basics of The Word.  We must return to the simplicity of what Jesus spoke and reestablish our faith IN HIM.  Walking in faith is not just a one-time event but instead it is a daily walk and requires us to renew our minds.  I believe Paul understood this specific issue I am writing about today when he was led by THE SPIRIT to write in Romans chapter 12:

1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service.

2 And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

Jesus healed ALL who were sick and that continues to be FATHER’S expressed Will today.  Jesus left no doubt about where FATHER stands on healing and restoration.  Jesus is our example and confirmation so there can be no debate what is the Divine Intent concerning this matter.

Have we been subtly led to be conformed to this world with all of the “noise” being directed toward us?  I believe so.  If we are unwilling to simply look at what is happening all around us, how will we be willing to take action and turn back to The Word as our standard?  We are told to “prove” the Word as it applies specifically to our own situations.  Let us each press in and place priority on the area of our need and not allow the world to enter into our minds and influence us to the point where we become forgetful hearers.  In James chapter 1 we find:

21 Therefore lay aside all filthiness and overflow of wickedness, and receive with meekness the implanted word, which is able to save your souls.

22 But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.

23 For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man observing his natural face in a mirror;

24 for he observes himself, goes away, and immediately forgets what kind of man he was.

25 But he who looks into the perfect law of liberty and continues in it, and is not a forgetful hearer but a doer of the work, this one will be blessed in what he does.

Are you afflicted?  Don’t be offended by these words but instead be encouraged that FATHER is wanting to redirect your attention to HIS answers and solutions rather than man’s.  Let these writings encourage you to turn back to the basics of HIS Word and renew your mind.  Let it begin today for now is the time to do so.

We appreciate your letters of encouragement as well as the contributions to Servias Ministries.  Thanks again!

We should treat each day as precious and be grateful no matter what life presents to us:

Psalm 118:24 ​​This is the day the LORD has made; ​​We will rejoice and be glad in it.

As we become mature, more will be required of each of us and with maturity comes greater responsibility and accountability.  Can FATHER count on you to do HIS bidding?  HE knows you better than anyone and HE instilled within you all the qualities necessary for you to overcome any circumstance presented before you.  We are to become HIS outward expression on a daily basis.  Paul wrote in 2 Corinthians chapter 4:

7 But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellence of the power may be of God and not of us.

8 We are hard-pressed on every side, yet not crushed; we are perplexed, but not in despair;

9 persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed—

10 always carrying about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our body.

Consider that His Life is to be manifested in you and me.  What a privilege!  If life had no issues and challenges then we would have no need to “overcome” but instead life is filled with a myriad of challenges and some appear to be overwhelming at times.  During these times of stress and pressure we must remind ourselves of the Truths FATHER has presented us as our assurance HE is with us in all situations.  We do have a treasure within us that cannot be taken for this Life of Jesus can and will overcome any and all enemies.  Paul goes on to say:

16 Therefore we do not lose heart. Even though our outward man is perishing, yet the inward man is being renewed day by day.

17 For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, is working for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory,

18 while we do not look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporary, but the things which are not seen are eternal. 

We must not look at the temporary situation we are in as anything but a light affliction.  I know that this can be challenging to you as it has been with me but we must trust FATHER and not lose heart.  We must adjust our thinking and expect FATHER to deliver us out of our afflictions:

Psalm 34:19  Many are the afflictions of the righteous,
But the LORD delivers him out of them all.

Everywhere we turn are indications of substantial turmoil ahead.  It isn’t the end of the world but some would have you believe otherwise.  FATHER is fully aware of the devices of men and the divisions among the cultures.  Our trust must be IN HIM rather than in man as the events unfold.  Everybody has an opinion of the solutions to the world’s problems and many of those solutions will be implemented and will eventually fail.  The only true solution will come from Heaven above and we should place our focus in that direction.  As men’s hearts fail, they will become desperate for answers and I believe that will be the turning point for the full appearance of the overcomers to rise up and bring forth Heaven on earth.  Until then, we should simply live in a state of gratitude each day no matter what life presents us.

In Revelation 3, Jesus spoke:

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

Are we worthy to reign with Christ in this hour or do we need some further refining?  Are we being fully led by HIS SPIRIT or by our own subtle agenda?  FATHER knows our hearts and can see through the outward perceptions and illusions.  HE knows our heart.

Out of the intent of Love He corrects us.  If HE didn’t Love us we would be left to our own devices that promote death and destruction but instead HE intervenes and moves us toward the abundance of life.  When HE rebukes us HE exposes our fault or error in order to correct it.  If FATHER didn’t expose the issue, how are we to realize what we have done wrong?  The ego does not like to have any weakness revealed because it does not want to admit vulnerability rather it wants to personify strength at all times.  Acknowledging error is the first step to recovery.

In Hebrews chapter 12, the need for correction is also explained:

7 If you endure chastening, God deals with you as with sons; for what son is there whom a father does not chasten?

8 But if you are without chastening, of which all have become partakers, then you are illegitimate and not sons.

A father’s responsibility is to correct his son out of Love.  Chastening is the whole training and education of children which relates to the cultivation of mind and morals, and employs for this purpose commands and admonitions, reproof and punishment; It also includes the training and care of the body.  Would you want to live your life with some core belief in error which kept you from achieving the fullness of your purpose?  If you are constantly living without peace, you probably need some form of correction.  Your willingness to be corrected will bring forth peace in your life for you are no longer fighting against the flow of the Holy Spirit.  Does this mean you will have no issues?  Not necessarily, but you will be at peace as you are being confronted with challenges and difficulties.

There is a balance to FATHER’S chastening just as there should be a balance in correcting our children.  FATHER encourages us by blessing us even while we are in need of further correction.  HE knows we need assurance as we mature.  When I was a young man, I had much to learn from HIM yet HIS Hand was upon me as I grew professionally.  Even though the list of issues were long with my spiritual walk, it did not prevent HIM from blessing what I set my hands to do.  HE would direct my path while at the same time my heart was in desperate need of purification.  HIS grace and mercy prevailed in my youth.

As you grow more mature, HE expects more from you.  You must accept accountability and responsibility for your actions and if you don’t you will suffer some form of judgment.  I have experienced such judgment and it wasn’t pretty.  Rather than defend an indefensible position, we must be zealous to change.  Once I perceived I was under judgment, I quickly and fervently sought forgiveness and I repented of my actions.  I had to be willing to expose the error and correct my thinking.  One of the biggest hurdles for people to overcome is being willing to admit they are wrong.  If something is repeatedly not working in your life due to your conviction, challenge your own position.  Ask FATHER to reveal the Truth of the matter rather than clinging to an illusion.  Get back to basics and start from the beginning in order to find where you went wrong in your assumptions.

In order to become fully mature Sons, we must be willing to change and accept correction in whatever form it takes or from whatever source brings it forth, even if it is a jackass (Numbers 22:28).  We all have need for correction and as we mature in our revelation of Love we will embrace any and all correction FATHER brings forth.

One of the biggest challenges we all face is to think outside the proverbial box.  In essence, our thinking tends to limit us from grasping deeper Truths FATHER intends to reveal to HIS Sons and Daughters.  By accepting traditional thinking we limit ourselves and our walk with HIM.  For example, most of us were brought up thinking that most of mankind would suffer in hell for an eternity and that there was an avenging God Who was simply waiting for us to mess up so HE could throw us in “the fire”.  Until we could begin to understand Divine Unconditional Love and the power of the cross, restoration of all mankind was outside “the box” of our square thinking.

Paul wrote in Ephesians chapter 6:

19 and for me, that utterance may be given to me, that I may open my mouth boldly to make known the mystery of the gospel,

20 for which I am an ambassador in chains; that in it I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak.

The mystery of the Gospel would indicate there are many things we have yet to uncover and Paul understood this as he wrote to the various individuals, churches and fellowships.  Some mysteries are hidden to those who are found to be good stewards and will speak and act accordingly.  Other mysteries are set aside for certain times in history according to FATHER’S Plan and purpose.  We must not assume that not all mysteries have been revealed to us and we must be willing to set aside our square thinking and think outside the box where FATHER really is.

In Matthew 5, Jesus spoke:

17 “Do not think that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy but to fulfill.

18 For assuredly, I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away, one jot or one tittle will by no means pass from the law till all is fulfilled.

19 Whoever therefore breaks one of the least of these commandments, and teaches men so, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but whoever does and teaches them, he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.

20 For I say to you, that unless your righteousness exceeds the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven.”

Jesus had to correct the thinking of those hearing His Word.  He did not come to destroy the Law but to correct the people concerning their traditional thinking.  Little did they realize that He would conquer by going to the cross which was just the opposite of their expectation.  He had to explain and describe the error of their thinking.  Their reasoning and analysis kept them from seeing the mystery unfold before their eyes.  Jesus had to open they eyes of their understanding so that they could think outside their box.

In Ephesians chapter 1, Paul prayed:

17 that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him,

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.

In order to expect the unexpected, you must think outside the box for this is where FATHER is.  HE is not limited to your box or anyone else’s but instead HE is without any limitation.  HIS ways are higher than our ways and HIS Thoughts are higher than ours.  Ask yourself the question- “Am I willing to receive revelation that shatters my current doctrine and/or understanding?”  There are those who hold fast to some preconceived notion who will never grow to a higher state.  Allow FATHER to open your eyes so that you will be enlightened beyond the square thinking others would have you remain contained therein.  Yes, there is life outside the box.

Paul wrote in Titus chapter 2:

1 But as for you, speak the things which are fitting for sound doctrine.

2 Older men are to be temperate, dignified, sensible, sound in faith, in love, in perseverance.

3 Older women likewise are to be reverent in their behavior, not malicious gossips nor enslaved to much wine, teaching what is good.

Our walk is seen by others and should be an example to the younger for they need to have a visible standard when considering their own walk.  Being temperate is walking in moderation in all things and not being given to excess or extremes.  This includes alcohol as well as anything else that might impair our walk.

Dignity is the state or quality of being worthy of honor or respect.  Younger people who are seeking FATHER’S Will should want to emulate your walk rather than being offended by it in some manner.  In Colossians chapter 1 by THE SPIRIT Paul wrote:

10 that you may walk worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing Him, being fruitful in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God;

11 strengthened with all might, according to His glorious power, for all patience and longsuffering with joy.

When a person is being sensible he is seeking to walk in wisdom and prudence, taking care and being cautious about his acts and how they may affect others.  One’s words and actions can have a major impact on others and we should be careful about what we say and do.  Philippians chapter 4 provides us a guide to consider in our walk:

8  Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy—meditate on these things.

As we walk consistently in faith we provide a certain level of stability for others to rely on.  As we maintain consistency in our walk and are reliable in our actions due to our faith, those around us will gravitate toward a similar walk.  People need reliability in their lives.  They need to be able to count on others in a time of need.  They need consistency in deed and word so that when the unexpected happens they have someone they can count on.  If someone you know is in desperate need, would they call you because you have a track record of reliability or would they seek help from another?

First and foremost we should be an example of walking in unconditional Love for all other qualities listed in Titus 2:2-3 are derived from Love.  As we grow older and hopefully more mature, our Love should be developed to the point where we are no longer as children tossed to and fro.  We now have the experience and the wisdom to know what is important and enduring in our lives.  We have seen and lived through many situations and this firsthand experience allows us to counsel the young when they are faced with similar circumstances.  Love wants the best for others and seeks to help in times of need.

Perseverance is being steadfast in doing something despite difficulty or delay in achieving success.  As we grow older we know how to work through problems and challenges because we have a better perspective in expecting a positive outcome.  Our past successes and failures combine to broaden our view when presented with notable challenges.  Projects which are overwhelming to the young can be addressed by breaking them up into smaller tasks.

In the end, the older should guide the younger into all Truth.  This can best be accomplished by being a living example of THE WORD and walking in FATHER’S Divine Intent.  Hopefully the young will listen and embrace the wisdom and understanding they lack.

Some definitions are in order.  The word cunning means “skill in achieving one’s ends by deceit”.  Craftiness means “skillful in underhand or evil schemes”.  Trickery is the practice of deception.  Deceitful means “untrustworthy, two-faced, or fraudulent, misleading, tending to lie”.  Finally, plotting means “secretly make plans to carry out an illegal or harmful action”.  When one places all these words together in a single sentence, it is intended to seriously warn us and protect us from people who would seriously impact us and do us harm.

Paul writes 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 five-fold ministry of Christ are meant to be “gifts” for the purpose of maturing you and me so that we are protected from those who would do us harm by their own self-serving schemes.  Further as we are perfected we will effectively work together and supply others in whatever manner according to our particular purpose.  Our purpose is to cause growth in the body, not keep the body in an immature state.  It will be accomplished by Love’s intent.

There are those who would want us to remain under their control by keeping us in a subservient state.  They use half-truths and skillful means to convince unsuspecting people to follow them on their path toward destruction.  Paul warns us against such people.  This is why it is critically important for us to seek Wisdom and understanding from FATHER in all things.  Over the years I have seen men place their trust in those who were apparent experts and scholars  only to become disillusioned with the Gospel and move toward false doctrines.  These men were enchanted by those whom they esteemed.

We must not be deceived but trust FATHER to guide us through situations where crafty men would attempt to redirect our paths with their outward logic appealing to our ego and attempting to dull our ears to hear.  As my friend Kemper mentioned the other day, the word “serpent” in Genesis 3:1 come from the root word “enchantment” meaning: to practice divination, divine, observe signs, learn by experience, diligently observe, practice fortunetelling, take as an omen.

We are warned about observing signs as a means of direction in our lives.  The adversary will use signs to lead you to any alternative path other than the “narrow” path.  Beware!

In these times, FATHER is warning us of what lies ahead and to prepare ourselves as things intensify.  Jesus warned in Matthew 24:

24  “For false christs and false prophets will rise and show great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect.”

Do not fear what is coming for FATHER knew what HE was doing when HE placed you here at this time but simply prepare and be of good courage.  Change is occurring and we should not be caught unprepared.  Part of our preparation is to understand and identify craftiness, trickery, and deceit.
