As is our custom and pleasure, we had coffee with our friends Kemper and Shari.  FATHER ultimately guided our discussion to an area that needed to be addressed among the brethren- knowing when to speak and when to remain silent.  FATHER awoke me early with the following passage:

Psalm 39:1 I said, “I will guard my ways,

​​Lest I sin with my tongue;

​​I will restrain my mouth with a muzzle,

​​While the wicked are before me.”

2 ​​I was mute with silence,

​​I held my peace even from good;

​​And my sorrow was stirred up.

Some of the mysteries be revealed to us by FATHER is not for us to share with everyone.  There are those who are called to the Holy of Holies, others to the Holy Place, and many others called to the Outer Court.  Then there are those who will inhabit the outer darkness, the farthest point from the Throne.  It is not our decision who ends up where but only FATHER’S.  HE will lead, guide, and speak to us when it is appropriate to share a revelation of a mystery given to us.  Our words become fewer as we ponder the path HE has put us on.

Isaiah 22:22 ​​The key of the house of David ​​I will lay on his shoulder;

​​So he shall open, and no one shall shut; ​​And he shall shut, and no one shall open.

A key allows you access or restricts you from entering in or out.  I believe the Key of David represents the revelation of Love but I am fully aware that it may also represent other aspects of the Kingdom.  “Unlocking” the character of FATHER and walking in that revelation places you in the supernatural realm and what you see and hear is not for everyone.  However this revelation is to allow you to serve in a much greater capacity than you would otherwise.  It is not to be used as a means to separate yourself as one of the “privileged” or “elite”.  You are to make yourself of no reputation for after all you are only a vessel to be used by FATHER.

Mary, the mother of Jesus, understood the need to hold her tongue.  In Luke 2:

18 And all those who heard it marveled at those things which were told them by the shepherds.

19 But Mary kept all these things and pondered them in her heart.

She heard the Truth of her son Jesus and knew the implication of revealing all that she had been told.  For His benefit, she kept quiet.

In the times ahead it will become increasingly important to watch your words and what you share as FATHER unlocks mysteries to the initiated.  The babes won’t understand the revelation, the immature will misuse and abuse it, but the mature will have ears to hear.  Jesus spoke in John chapter 12:

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

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

We must be sensitive to whom and what FATHER wants spoken so we must be sensitive to FATHER opening and closing doors.  Don’t try to force the door in either direction.

Can and will FATHER heal and restore all?  The world would have us believe there are incurable diseases and permanent disabilities.  We must place our trust above the natural where FATHER resides and operates from.  HIS higher laws are not subject to the lower laws but supersede what our five physical senses would have us believe.  In Matthew chapter 14, Jesus was just told of John the Baptist’s death yet He continued to go forth in His anointing:

13 When Jesus heard it, He departed from there by boat to a deserted place by Himself. But when the multitudes heard it, they followed Him on foot from the cities.

14 And when Jesus went out He saw a great multitude; and He was moved with compassion for them, and healed their sick.

How many were in this great multitude?  About five thousand men, besides women and children, most likely in excess of 10,000.  Jesus healed every one of their sick.  There were no exceptions.  Should we expect anything less?  Yet Jesus did not stop there:

15 When it was evening, His disciples came to Him, saying, “This is a deserted place, and the hour is already late. Send the multitudes away, that they may go into the villages and buy themselves food.”

16 But Jesus said to them, “They do not need to go away. You give them something to eat.”

17 And they said to Him, “We have here only five loaves and two fish.”

The multitudes were drawn to Jesus and did not want to go home.  Would you?  We are not told how many were healed but you can be certain that there were a substantial number in need.  Hunger became secondary in their eyes for the healing of a loved one caused them to stay and see what else would take place.  Jesus responded:

18 He said, “Bring them here to Me.”

19 Then He commanded the multitudes to sit down on the grass. And He took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to heaven, He blessed and broke and gave the loaves to the disciples; and the disciples gave to the multitudes.

20 So they all ate and were filled, and they took up twelve baskets full of the fragments that remained.

21 Now those who had eaten were about five thousand men, besides women and children.

100% were healed and 100% were fed, that is the Way, the Truth, and the Life.  We need to get back to the basics of the Kingdom and quit analyzing and reasoning with our left brain.  The ego will analyze away a blessing if given the opportunity.  It will look for hidden meanings, subtle signs, and other diversions when instead you should be accepting the power of FATHER at face value.  We must not dilute the power of The Word but be cleansed by it so that we can walk in its fullness.

Let us not settle for 1% success when Jesus provided us with His example of faith working by Love.  The healing results in most Pentecostal meetings were reckoned at about 5-10% of the people prayed for… at best.  There is the good, acceptable, and perfect Will.  Let us move on in boldness to the perfect and let not fear of failure be found among us.

1 John 4:17 Love has been perfected among us in this: that we may have boldness in the day of judgment; because as He is, so are we in this world.

18 There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves torment. But he who fears has not been made perfect in love.

By HIS Power, 100% is attainable and should be expected as we move forward in Love perfected in us and align ourselves completely with FATHER as Jesus did.

Jesus provided us the example of establishing the Kingdom on earth as it is in Heaven.  When the power of FATHER shows up, people respond and the only hindrance is unbelief.  In Matthew chapter 9 Jesus healed two blind men:

27 When Jesus departed from there, two blind men followed Him, crying out and saying, “Son of David, have mercy on us!”

28 And when He had come into the house, the blind men came to Him. And Jesus said to them, “Do you believe that I am able to do this?”

They said to Him, “Yes, Lord.”

29 Then He touched their eyes, saying, “According to your faith let it be to you.”

30 And their eyes were opened. And Jesus sternly warned them, saying, “See that no one knows it.”

31 But when they had departed, they spread the news about Him in all that country.

Their faith was critical to their sight being restored.  Faith comes by hearing The Word and testimony about the power of GOD.  Jesus had just raised a young girl from the dead and the two blind men’s faith were activated when they heard of this miracle.  Their faith demanded that they follow Jesus and receive their sight.  He was happy to respond to their faith.  His anointing flowed from Heaven through Him to them and their eyes were opened.   Unbelief did not restrict the anointing.

The miracles are not the focus of the Kingdom but are to be a witness of the Good News.  Miracles provide credibility to the message of the Gospel and give people hope.  Our every word and action should focus on bringing people into FATHER’S Kingdom, not exalting ourselves in any manner.  We are vessels of honor to be used by HIM as HIS SPIRIT in us guides us in our walk.  We become sensitive to HIS SPIRIT and respond by taking action and speaking as HE directs.  Our eyes are opened to the needs of those we encounter.  The recipient responds because he or she realizes FATHER in personally interested in his or her welfare.

As we walk according to FATHER’S direction, the news will spread.  We don’t have to intervene on behalf of FATHER for HE will bring those who are ready to receive into our midst.  We don’t need to force the situation but instead be led by THE SPIRIT as we prepare ourselves by aligning with HIM.  As we walk in Love and are empowered by great faith in FATHER’S willingness and commitment to establish HIS Kingdom through us, we will have rich and rewarding experiences that many thought were not possible. 

FATHER opens doors and closes doors.  We must accept that not all we encounter are ready to walk through the open door.  We know that FATHER opens eyes and ears to see and hear so we must not be disappointed when people don’t respond to FATHER’S invitation.  We must simply go on about FATHER’S Business and spread the Gospel to those HE places before us.  We are the light in a world moving toward great darkness.

We have received and sent nearly $1,000 to assist Rick.  Thank you for your response.

In Luke chapter 11, Jesus had cast a demon, it was mute, and then the person began to speak.  Some of them said, “He casts out demons by Beelzebub, the ruler of the demons.”  Jesus quickly responded to them that a house divided against itself will fall and then He said:

20 But if I cast out demons with the finger of God, surely the kingdom of God has come upon you.

21 When a strong man, fully armed, guards his own palace, his goods are in peace.

22 But when a stronger than he comes upon him and overcomes him, he takes from him all his armor in which he trusted, and divides his spoils.

23 He who is not with Me is against Me, and he who does not gather with Me scatters.

When faith works by Love, demons will be cast out of those whom they plague for none should be kept in bondage any longer.  We need to rise up to the Great Commission and expect FATHER to fully empower us over all sickness, disease, demons, and any other hindrance to gathering souls for the Kingdom.  We should not focus on just one aspect of gathering but be balanced in our walk according to the needs of those we engage.

Not everybody has a demon so we shouldn’t look for one around every corner.  On the other hand we must not negate that fact that demons are still active and attempting to initiate division among the saints.  FATHER is pleased and willing to show us which situation we are in and how to deal with it as we are able to hear HIS Voice.  By their nature demons are deceptive, manipulative, and persistent yet they are powerless against the Blood of Christ.

As we are led by the Holy Spirit we will be challenged by those who oppose the Kingdom.  We must not be intimidated by them for FATHER will deal with them accordingly.  In Matthew chapter 12 where the above account of the deaf mute being ministered to by Jesus is found, Jesus went on to say:

31 “Therefore I say to you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven men, but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven men.

32 Anyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man, it will be forgiven him; but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit, it will not be forgiven him, either in this age or in the age to come.”

Blasphemy means:

1. slander, detraction, speech injurious, to another’s good name

2. impious and reproachful speech injurious to divine majesty

As we are fully led by HIS SPIRIT, FATHER will deal with those who are in opposition with whatever corrective action is needful.  I have seen several instances of this in the past where those in opposition were removed from the situation.  Let us be mindful of the brevity and Holiness of walking by HIS SPIRIT.  We are called to establish HIS Kingdom by bringing in souls which in turn increases the Kingdom on earth.  Let none of our actions scatter or divide.

There is no demon more powerful than Jesus or those who are walking in the full maturity of Love and are indeed Sons as well.  In John 14 Jesus spoke:

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

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

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

Jesus said it so you should expect it.  Jettison that unbelief and allow great faith to prevail in your life operating by Love.  Consider all the great miracles of healing He did and know that He said we should walk out even greater works.  He only spoke what FATHER expressed to Him thus these words come from the Throne Room to us.  Embrace these words and you will be in the gathering business.

As I woke this morning, Father said, "A trumpet has sounded to call together the leaders-those who will hear.

Pray before me. Stay close."

The law of the trumpets is in Numbers 10:4.

====================================================================

A beloved sister shared the following:

Jan. 27, 2016

Donald Trump is used of God. When I grumbled about his irritating way, Father said, "Remember his name. He is a trumpet." I can’t remember whether He said a trumpet or the trumpet.

Jan. 28, 2016

I was washing dishes when He said, "The trumpet shall sound and the dead in Christ shall rise first."

The many quotation marks indicate pauses as Father spoke to me.

Father had me wake up to read Amos 5-9. Then He spoke to me, "Weep for my people, weep. For the casting out shall begin and I will cleanse

My Kingdom."

"My trump card is played." 

"You shall rise up on eagles wings, you who love the Lord." 

"Fear not, you are Mine, you who hear my Voice."

"You have sought Me and you have found Me." 

"See what I will do. Watch." 

"Yes, you know what the final end shall be. Rest."

I said, "Glory to the Lord, glory, and He said, "Now."

====================================================================

In the last 90 days we were given this Word:

Amos 9:13

“Behold, the days are coming,” says the LORD,
“When the plowman shall overtake the reaper,
And the treader of grapes him who sows seed;
The mountains shall drip with sweet wine,
And all the hills shall flow with it.”

Jesus is the expression of Our Heavenly Father and FATHER has called us also to be HIS expression on earth.  In Matthew 8:

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.”

Were there more demon-possessed people in those times than there are today?  I think not.  It is clear for all to see there are more sick today than ever before so I must expect FATHER will empower those with pure hearts to fulfill the great commission of Mark 16:

15 And He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature.

16 He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned.

17 And these signs will follow those who believe: In My name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues;

18 they will take up serpents; and if they drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.”

Jesus fulfilled Isaiah’s prophecy given in Isaiah 53:4 and we are to fulfill Jesus’ commission given above.  Both commands were give by FATHER to express HIS Love and will for mankind.  Every creature means every thing created by FATHER and nothing is left out.  There are those of us who will embrace this commission, some will focus on certain portions, and the rest will go about their business as usual.  I can attest to you that when you fully embrace FATHER’S Word, you are never disappointed.  On the contrary, your life will become rich with the fruit of THE SPIRIT.

Years ago we had a pesky demon show up in the house we bought.  Our two year-old son would see it down the hall beyond the room to our bedroom where it stopped without coming closer.  He called it a “black man in the hall” and this went on for several nights.  After receiving some wise counsel we prayed through our house including every closet and proclaimed the Blood of Jesus Christ over our entire household.  The demon departed and two angels appeared to our son giving him peace that night and we had no more issues.  That was 38 years ago.

Our mandate has not changed since Jesus spoke it in Mark 16, (Matt. 28:16–20; Luke 24:44–49; Acts 1:6–8 ).  The sick are still out there, the demons are still around, and the lost still need saved.  FATHER’S Love remains steadfast and the whole world will be redeemed.  Let our focus be on HIS priorities and not the world’s.
