Proverbs 4:20 ​​My son, give attention to my words;

​​Incline your ear to my sayings.

21 ​​Do not let them depart from your eyes;

​​Keep them in the midst of your heart;

22 ​​For they are life to those who find them,

​​And health to all their flesh.

FATHER’s WORD contains the power within it for you to be healed of any sickness or disease.  It contains life for those who find it and believe.  Our FATHER wants us to walk in a healthy state and be not hindered by any malady that might prevent us from fulfilling our daily walk.  The pharmaceutical and medical profession would want us to believe otherwise.  They promote management of chronic ailments as the norm and promote a regimen of pharmaceuticals to maintain a “quality” of life.  Man’s thinking has been perverted from the Truth of the Gospel.  Paul wrote in Romans chapter 1:

16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first and also for the Greek.

17 For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; as it is written,“The just shall live by faith.”

If FATHER’S Word has enough power to save and deliver us, it surely has enough power to heal our bodies as well but we must have faith in HIS Word.  As Paul wrote in the tenth chapter of Romans “So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.”  As we move our focus to those healing Scriptures, our faith will increase in the area of health and healing and ultimately our bodies will conform.

A double-minded man has a problem with faith and healing.  James points this out in his epistle, chapter 1:

6 But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind.

7 For let not that man suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord;

8 he is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.

In general, the right side of the brain is oriented toward the Spiritual whereas the left side is where analysis and reasoning occur.  Your mind cannot grasp FATHER’S ability to heal, it just doesn’t make sense to it.  Instead it looks at all the data and information provided by external sources and concludes that we must get sick and rely solely on a white-coated doctor and pharmaceuticals to resolve the problem.  There are very few “healers” in the medical profession, most are “treaters”.

James makes it quite clear that the double-minded man will not receive ANYTHING from the LORD.  If you have trouble receiving, check you mind, your focus, and where you place your priorities and attention.  FATHER wants us healed!  This is one aspect of the Divine Intent of Love.  If FATHER says it, you can count on it as we are reminded in Numbers chapter 23:

19 ​​“God is not a man, that He should lie,

​​Nor a son of man, that He should repent.

​​Has He said, and will He not do?

​​Or has He spoken, and will He not make it good?

FATHER created us and HE has the power to restore our bodies to normal.  HE is also willing to restore us as well.  It will become increasing important in the days ahead to have faith in FATHER’S power, willingness, and Divine Intent.  The more we have HIS Word operational in us, the greater the results to be seen in our walk.  We will walk worthy unto THE LORD, increasing the HIS Knowledge being fruitful in every good work.  This should become our expectation as we are enveloped in HIS Truth.

Jesus spoke in Luke chapter 4:

18  “The Spirit of the LORD is upon Me,
Because He has anointed Me
To preach the gospel to the poor;
He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted,
To proclaim liberty to the captives
And recovery of sight to the blind,
To set at liberty those who are oppressed;

19  To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD.”

Each of us has a calling just as Jesus had a calling.  This calling was established before we were formed in the womb and it was established by HIS Divine Intent of Love.  We should not look at others’ callings and desire theirs but instead we should seek to fully understand what our particular calling is in its fullness.  As we pursue our own calling we will be empowered by HIS anointing just as Jesus was.

Zacharias and Elizabeth are great examples, they were both “advanced” in age, beyond the normal childbearing years.  To top it off, Elizabeth was barren:

Luke 1:5 There was in the days of Herod, the king of Judea, a certain priest named Zacharias, of the division of Abijah. His wife was of the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elizabeth.

6 And they were both righteous before God, walking in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord blameless.

7 But they had no child, because Elizabeth was barren, and they were both well advanced in years.

Even though Zacharias was old, it did not keep him from continuing to pray for FATHER’S WILL to be done in his life as well as the life of his wife Elizabeth.  We must not let these subtle Truths be overlooked for they provide encouragement in our own circumstances.  We must be of good courage and know that FATHER will manifest our calling at the appropriate time no matter what situation we currently face.

13 But the angel said to him, “Do not be afraid, Zacharias, for your prayer is heard; and your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son, and you shall call his name John.

14 And you will have joy and gladness, and many will rejoice at his birth.

15 For he will be great in the sight of the Lord, and shall drink neither wine nor strong drink. He will also be filled with the Holy Spirit, even from his mother’s womb.

16 And he will turn many of the children of Israel to the Lord their God.

17 He will also go before Him in the spirit and power of Elijah, ‘to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children,’ and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just, to make ready a people prepared for the Lord.”

Notice how FATHER takes what appears to be an impossible situation and brings forth HIS Glory.  They are going to have a son and he will even be filled with the Holy Spirit while he is still in the womb.

We must not consider our individual circumstances, station in life, or age when it comes to our calling.  Our situation can change in a moment.  The next phone call you receive might alter your direction and place you in the middle of your calling along with the empowerment from Above.  In our humanity we often question whether FATHER could do something with us.  Zacharias had the same question many of us would at a later stage of life:

18 And Zacharias said to the angel, “How shall I know this? For I am an old man, and my wife is well advanced in years.”

19 And the angel answered and said to him, “I am Gabriel, who stands in the presence of God, and was sent to speak to you and bring you these glad tidings.”

Gabriel was sent, John the Baptist was sent, Jesus was sent, and you too are sent.  The only question might be “What is my mission or calling?”  Zacharias prayed and FATHER heard him and sent Gabriel to give him details of his calling.  FATHER will communicate your calling in some form or fashion so you must be sensitive and focus on hearing HIS Voice.  Your prayer will be heard for it is HIS good pleasure to equip, prepare, train, and then send you on your mission whether you are 30 years old or 84 years old.  The Ancient of Days is not moved by your age or situation.

During Jesus’ ministry, He must have performed some notable event every single day.  Which day of the year is most important?

Psalm 118:24   ​​This is the day the LORD has made;

​​We will rejoice and be glad in it.

Today is the most important day and when tomorrow arrives it will be the most important day.  We should live in the now and not worry about or be moved by the past or future.  However we should also let Love guide us in respect to holidays set apart by various cultures as they attempt to be in unity for one day.  For example, which Feast day is the most important?

Rosh Hashana: 2 days  The Jewish New Year

Yom Kippur: 1 day – Day of Atonement

Sukkot: 7 days – Feast of Tabernacles

Shmini Atzeret: 1 day – Eighth Day of Assembly

Simchat Torah: 1 day – Day of Celebrating the Torah

Chanukah: 8 days – The Jewish festival of rededication, also known as the Festival of Lights

Purim: 1 day – Purim is one of the most joyous and fun holidays on the Jewish calendar

Pesach: 8 days – Passover, the Feast of Unleavened Bread

Shavuot: 2 days – Festival of Weeks, commemorates the giving of the Torah at Mount Sinai

Tish’a B’Av: 1 day – The Ninth of Av, fast commemorating the destruction of the two Temples

There are roughly 32 days in the above major Feast days to commemorate something notable FATHER did or caused which are all acknowledged by the Jewish community.  The Christian community has its days of observation as well.  If we tried, we could find something every single day to commemorate and thus we could proclaim it a holiday and do nothing 365 days each year.  Jesus made it clear that we are not to be restricted by any tradition:

Matthew 12:9 Now when He had departed from there, He went into their synagogue.

10 And behold, there was a man who had a withered hand. And they asked Him, saying, “Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath?”—that they might accuse Him.

11 Then He said to them, “What man is there among you who has one sheep, and if it falls into a pit on the Sabbath, will not lay hold of it and lift it out?

12 Of how much more value then is a man than a sheep? Therefore it is lawful to do good on the Sabbath.”

13 Then He said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” And he stretched it out, and it was restored as whole as the other.

14 Then the Pharisees went out and plotted against Him, how they might destroy Him.

Let’s look at Christmas.  It is considered that Jesus was actually born in the fall of the year according to the fall feast days.  I have no issue with that and have heard the facts, reasoning, and conclusions drawn from Scripture.  Further, if you back up to the standard gestation period for a baby in a womb, you would arrive at the night of December 24th into the morning of December 25th.  Stephen Jones does an excellent job of explaining this.  See:  http://www.gods-kingdom-ministries.net/teachings/books/dr-luke-healing-the-breaches-book-1/chapter-5-marys-visitation/

We should take the opportunity to honor Jesus when the rest of the world is at least attempting to come into unity on one day of the year.  This day is often accompanied by a cease-fire in war zones.  Love does not offend the little children and thus let us spread the Gospel in the Christmas season when we have a captive audience.  Let us give our Love to those who are less fortunate.  Let us join in and celebrate the one day people can be in unity concerning our elder Brother.  Let us not cause division by looking at the negatives of the season but instead consider the opportunity to expand unity concerning Our Redeemer. 

Men can pervert virtually any physical representation used during Christmas.  Let us not isolate ourselves by fearing or judging some tradition established by society.  Jesus was not moved by the traditions of the Pharisees and continued ministering life to mankind rather than focusing on what was wrong with the current leadership and its traditions.  Embrace each day as an opportunity to draw men unto Christ.

Matthew 4:23  And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all manner of sickness and all manner of disease among the people.

Teaching means to explain, instruct, and expound.

Preaching means to proclaim after the manner of a herald always with the suggestion of formality, gravity and an authority which must be listened to and obeyed.

After Jesus taught and preached the Gospel He confirmed the Truth with observable fruit.  We must move in that direction ourselves and no longer be resigned to anything less.  We should expect signs to confirm HIS Word to us as well for Jesus manifested the pure intent of FATHER and as we are cleansed and purified, we too should produce similar fruit.

In the Pentecostal Age, we saw and experienced in part but now a new visitation is at hand.  The train is leaving the station and we should be all aboard.  This visitation will be accompanied by a much greater manifestation than what was seen in the twentieth century.  The world is darker but the light is becoming brighter to consume the darkness at hand.  Men’s perversions will be met with a greater purity than ever before.

Matthew 5:8  Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.

As we receive FATHER’S Word to us daily our hearts are cleansed unto purity.  We should expect to begin seeing a change first on the inside and then expressed outwardly.  I can attest to that reality as I now view others with a much greater Love than ever before.  FATHER has been changing my heart with HIS Word and I perceive the changes even though some are subtle.  I assure you those that know me are thankful for the change.  I am most thankful of all for HIS great Grace and Mercy in my life.

When Jesus began His ministry there were vast numbers of people who needed healing and restoration.  Jesus responded.  We must embrace the reality that it is FATHER’S Will for all to be healed and restored and quit rationalizing and living in a lesser state.  We are constantly bombarded with other suggested realities by the medical profession and the drug industry. 

It can be a real challenge to unplug and remove yourself from the path the healthcare industry would keep you on.  FATHER is the only ONE who can minister to you in this area.  HE must deal with you in those areas that are contrary to HIS healing power.  By focusing on healing Scriptures and dwelling on them day and night will your body come into agreement.  The Word must become more real than the drugs being administered and you will know when that occurs.  Let FATHER minister to you how to proceed for the path is unique to you based on your situation.

“All manner of sickness and disease” did not leave anything to chance.  Cancer is simply an uncontrolled division of abnormal cells in a part of the body.  The body is designed to remove abnormal cells when it is working according to its design.  FATHER’S Divine Intent is that our bodies work according to their design.  Let us seek HIS Wisdom, understanding, knowledge, and skill in addressing all sickness and disease.  Jesus is our example and He did not walk around with a white coat and a stethoscope draped around His neck.  As you change inwardly, the outward will reflect the change and be a confirmation to you.

In Matthew chapter 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.”

The word “teach” means to show or explain to (someone) how to do something.  In order to bring forth the Kingdom, we must produce observable fruit to confirm that FATHER is working through us.  Jesus confirmed FATHER’S Word with signs following and He practiced what He preached.  “For GOD so Loved the world” is the motivation for all that Jesus did and every Word He spoke.  He taught the disciples Love and ultimately they grasped it as they went throughout the known world and did the same.

Jesus made it clear that the Law was to be summed up in Love when He spoke in Matthew 22:

37 Jesus said to him, “ ‘You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’

38 This is the first and great commandment.

39 And the second is like it: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’

40 On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets.”

If we bring these two passages together we can see that whoever separates himself from Love and teaches others in the same manner will be least in the Kingdom.  Whoever walks in Love and teaches others to walk in Love shall be called great in the Kingdom of Heaven.  Which path are you pursuing?  Can this Truth be any simpler?  Think about this today!

It can be challenging to convey in words what is now at hand but I trust FATHER will continue to provide us with the appropriate language to describe the events transpiring.  The word express means to press outward, to exude, to show, manifest, or reveal what is inward.  It is the “effect” of “cause”.

Since August 31st, things are not the same.  The Spiritual activity has increased dramatically and the flow of the SPIRIT has had some type of activation.  It is my belief that if you are reading these words, you are being summoned to participate in whatever FATHER is doing now.  I recently wrote of the three knocks and since then another Mary has heard two knocks in the Spirit.  I must conclude that we are in the midst of a countdown in a Spiritual sense.

Neither your age nor your past will prevent you from becoming HIS Expression on earth.  We all have the opportunity to bring Heaven to earth as we truly understand the LORD’S Prayer Jesus gave to all men in the Sermon on the Mount.  Once and for all Jesus who is the manifested expression of FATHER gave us those critical words that begin the prayer- Our FATHER.  If only we could fully embrace the first two words would all of Heaven open up to us!  HE is our Loving FATHER and not one individual on earth is excluded.  When Jesus gave us those words to express the relationship of our CREATOR to each of us, He had not yet been to the cross.  Once and for all did Jesus express the true relationship each of us has with THE LORD GOD ALMIGHTY yet men still attempt to keep their distance in word and deed from HIM.

Have you had no apparent Spiritual activity at a personal level?  Be not dismayed but continue pressing in and do not let your mind convince you that you are unworthy, left out, left behind, too immature, too old, too young, or any other trumped up reason for not participating.  I say PRESS IN!  Be ye not double-minded and become unstable but instead put your thoughts into submission and allow your spirit to prevail.  It is time we become HIS Expression.

Hebrews 1:1 God, who at various times and in various ways spoke in time past to the fathers by the prophets,

2 has in these last days spoken to us by His Son, whom He has appointed heir of all things, through whom also He made the worlds;

3 who being the brightness of His glory and the express image of His person, and upholding all things by the word of His power, when He had by Himself purged our sins, sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high,

4 having become so much better than the angels, as He has by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they.

Jesus is the first of many sons and they too are becoming the express image of FATHER.  This is precisely why FATHER has me write about changing and focusing on the inward man rather than focusing on external events.  The inward changes the outward; we ex-press what is on the inside; we shall be know by our fruit.  How many ways does this Truth need to be expressed?

It has now been 10 years since FATHER has had me focus on the revelation of Love.  December of 2005 was the month HE gave me the mandate.  In 1997, HE alerted me of that mandate yet to be fully revealed at the time.  Clearly HE was in no hurry and there was to be a time of preparation before I would ready to receive what was to be revealed beginning in 2005.

As we focus our attention and priority on becoming HIS Expression we should expect fruitfulness as a result.  We will see and experience an awareness in an apparent increase in Spiritual activity.  I say apparent because the activity has not been dormant but simply the expression is taking on a different phase in its outworking.  There is a revealing that is now occurring and FATHER is opening our eyes so that we can fully comprehend the Truth and light of HIS Word.  This revealing is for the purpose of becoming HIS Expression to all mankind and none will be left out.  Embrace what HE is doing today and focus on becoming more sensitive to HIS SPIRIT.  It is not business as usual.

I will be away for several days with limited access to blog writing.  On these trips I look forward to my encounters directed by FATHER.  In our travels we need to remain sensitive to HIM and listen for the opportunity to express Love to others.  As we focus on the unexpected, FATHER will kindly oblige.  Could it be that a kind word fitly spoken to someone in turmoil might turn their life around?  If you are challenged by a “negative”, let FATHER use you to turn it into a “positive”.  Let HIS Anointing freely flow through you and you won’t be disappointed.

To rationalize means to ascribe (one’s acts, opinions, etc.) to causes that superficially seem reasonable and valid but that actually are unrelated to the true, possibly unconscious and often less creditable or agreeable causes.

The world has majored in the area of rationalizing actions to fit their humanistic agenda.  The Federal Reserve Chairman Janet Yellen has a reported salary of $201,700 per year yet affects trillions of dollars in the global economy.  Her picture in the earlier years:

President Obama:

Who do you place trust in?  Man or the Creator of the Universe who formed both of these individuals in the womb?  FATHER is not unaware of what is going on throughout the earth today yet men and women think they have the wisdom, understanding, knowledge, and skill to make decisions which possibly affect all of mankind.  They rationalize why they should take various actions and little do they understand the consequences.

We must not rationalize why we don’t meditate on HIS Word day and night.  FATHER has the only true solutions to the problems that plague mankind.  Do you want to treat the symptoms or the problem?

Joshua 24:14 “Now therefore, fear the LORD, serve Him in sincerity and in truth, and put away the gods which your fathers served on the other side of the River and in Egypt. Serve the LORD!

15 And if it seems evil to you to serve the LORD, choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the River, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you dwell. But as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.”

The decision is really simple.

How can your faith increase if it is never tried and tested?  If you desire great faith, you will be tested accordingly.  James wrote in chapter 1:

2 My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials,

3 knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience.

4 But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing.

Do you really want to be perfect and complete?  Then you must expect your faith to be challenged by trials coming your way.  Instead of running from the trials and crying out to FATHER hoping HE will provide you with an avenue of escape, ask HIM what to do and how to do it in order to overcome the trial.  Be patient and seek HIS Face.  As you do, HE will guide you to and through the solution to the trial at hand.

James continues:

5 If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him.

When Love communicates Wisdom, it will often go against man’s soulish wisdom.  As an example, I know of many instances where the solution to a lack of funds was to give.  Huh?  Why should I give if I will end up with less money than before?  FATHER placed the law of seedtime and harvest to deal with issues of this nature.  If you plant an appropriate seed, you can expect a harvest and have that seed multiplied.  When you plant you must realize that it is FATHER WHO will be the source of increase.  Paul wrote in 1 Corinthians chapter 3:

6 I planted, Apollos watered, but GOD gave the increase.

7 So then neither he who plants is anything, nor he who waters, but God who gives the increase.

8 Now he who plants and he who waters are one, and each one will receive his own reward according to his own labor.

Every farmer understands this law or he wouldn’t be a farmer.  You must have seed to plant in order to reap a harvest.  Many of you have eaten the seed which should have been planted.  When you seek FATHER’S Wisdom, HE will instruct you what seed to plant and where to plant it.  In some situations you might find yourself in, prayer and fasting are necessary in order to clearly hear.  Why?  Your mind, will, and emotions will attempt to override any Word you hear because your ego thinks it knows best what to do in order to survive.  James brings this issue to light, continuing in chapter 1:

6 But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind.

7 For let not that man suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord;

8 he is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.

If you allow your mind to reason and analyze the situation rather than hear from FATHER, don’t expect to receive the solution to the problem.  We have all had past failures in this area so don’t beat yourself up.  I look back at my own life and see where I failed to walk in HIS Wisdom and this is where HIS great Grace and Mercy enter in.  HE knows our weaknesses and HIS Love is greater than any of our shortcomings.  Simply repent and move on. 

Focus on HIS Word in the area of your failure and learn from your past mistakes.  These trials should cause us to grow in faith, not live a life of defeat.  Know that FATHER’S Wisdom and resources are greater than any trial you find yourself in.  HE designed you to grow and mature in all areas, don’t let yourself be double-minded but instead be perfect and complete, lacking nothing.

My wife and I grew up in the Faith movement which was in full swing in the 1970’s.  Kenneth Hagin, Kenneth Copeland, Oral Roberts,  and others were preaching primarily on faith.  I recall many messages focused on healing and finances yet most of those sitting in the pews were lacking in both areas.  Why?  I believe Love was the missing ingredient.

Most of the faith teachers did quite well because they used the faith message to promote giving… primarily to them.  Acts chapter 20 was quoted often:

35 “… And remember the words of the Lord Jesus, that He said, ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’ ”

The Truth they failed to focus on and explain is that giving is all about intent.  Because Love was not at the forefront in much of the teaching, the “name and claim it” doctrine became popular among those in the faith movement and they were claiming about everything imaginable.  Houses, cars, fat bank accounts were all on the list, nothing but the best.  The evangelists all needed faster, more expensive airplanes to get them from one place to another as though on one else could bring forth the Word.  A few even acquired a fleet of airplanes while many in the audience were suffering lack.  As I said, Love was the missing ingredient.

FATHER’S Word does not become null and void because men misused it.  It continues to have the power within it to cause it to come to pass.  We must simply walk in HIS Word with the right motive and intent.  Jesus always walked in this manner and we should purpose to do the same.  When we do, we will receive power from On High and our faith filled words will produce results.

In Mark chapter 11, Jesus spoke:

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

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

24 Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them.”

How could Jesus make such a claim?  FATHER gave Him these words to speak to the disciples and to us so this statement must be true in the fullest sense.  Why isn’t working on a widespread basis among the believers today?  All words have motivation and intent behind them and that is where the problem lies.  If you are walking in Love you will hear FATHER’S Voice and Intent, you will express what HE has called you to do which will result in the resources of Heaven to be at your disposal.  As you hear HIS Word, your faith is built up into great faith.

When a mountain presents itself to you and would hinder your calling, you have the right and support by FATHER to deal with it.  You are to overcome anything that confronts you and would deter you from your calling.  With this understanding, we can look a 1 John chapter 5:

3 For this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments. And His commandments are not burdensome.

4 For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith.

FATHER expects us to walk in faith and for that faith to grow into great faith.  In order for this to occur we should expect challenges to come our way where our faith will be tested.  We must not be moved by those challenges but should overcome those challenges by faith with the Divine intent of Love.  As Paul wrote in Galatians chapter 5:

6 For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision avails anything, but faith working through love.

When faith works through Love, you should believe and receive whatever is necessary for you to fulfill your purpose and be a blessing to mankind.  Let you faith grow into great faith and the expected results will manifest.
