Credible Witnesses

February 2nd, 2016

1 John 3:8 says:  For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.

Jesus did not need healed, set free, saved, or delivered from the works of the devil but the rest of mankind did.  His Blood was and is sufficient to completely destroy the works of the devil.  As Sons we should expect to mature to the point where we operate under the same anointing.  There will be some who ascend to this fullness whose hearts are fully aligned with FATHER’S Love for mankind and will be most sensitive to FATHER’S Voice just as Jesus was.

John 14:12   “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.

Jesus spoke these words directly from FATHER’S Intent for us yet guilt, shame, and unworthiness cause many believers to be unwilling to move upward into HIS Perfect Will.  The adversary would prefer you to stay in the lower physical world at all times where you have no power or authority.

The works of Jesus included salvation, healing, deliverance, and loosing the bands of wickedness.  Jesus was never afraid or timid in any circumstance and we should look to operate in the same manner.  My wife and I are both witnesses to HIS healing power and no one can convince us otherwise, it’s too late for we both received miraculous healing.  We are indeed credible witnesses and we both had physician records confirming the miracles… as though we would need them to prove to those who doubt FATHER’S Ability to fix one of HIS creation.

Attaining to the calling spoken by Jesus in the above passage requires us to be “all in”.  Casual commitment will not move you higher.  Those who are fully committed will not be disappointed for FATHER knows their hearts and HE is pleased with those who become men and women of great faith.

Are you committed to destroy the works of the devil or are you satisfied with being subjected to his works?  I could write volumes concerning the narrow path of overcoming the world but volumes of knowledge are not as effective as one true revelation from FATHER.  Seek HIM and HE will speak an appropriate Word to you in reference to your specific set of circumstances.  There is not one catch all formula for we each have a unique testimony.  It is time for us to act and thus become credible witnesses.


100%

February 2nd, 2016

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.

Spreading The Good News

February 1st, 2016

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.

Update on Assistance

January 31st, 2016

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

Gather, Not Scatter

January 31st, 2016

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.

From Our Beloved Sister

January 30th, 2016

Jan 30, 2016   7:00 am

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.

FATHER is notifying us

January 30th, 2016

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

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."

Jan. 29, 2016  4:00 am

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.”

Fulfilling FATHER’S Intent

January 29th, 2016

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.

Bearing Witness of FATHER

January 28th, 2016

When you bear witness of what FATHER is bringing forth, you have obtained a good report or testimony.  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.

We are called to be witnesses of FATHER to all the world and thus we must expect the supernatural to operate in our lives as being evidence of HIS Power imparted on the earth.  In order to please HIM we must walk in faith in HIS Word rather that walk in faith in the world’s systems.  We all have faith in something thus the only question is whether our faith is in man or FATHER.  The world wants to convince us that there are incurable diseases since they have no idea of how to treat them.  On the other hand, FATHER can heal and restore anyone with any sickness or disease.

In Abraham’s case, he was impotent and Sarah was barren and both were old.  The odds of having a child were virtually zero in the world’s eyes.  FATHER saw no issue for HE operates above the natural circumstances i.e. the supernatural.  If you continue to rely on your five physical senses you will never operate anywhere but the natural, lower realm.

8 By faith Abraham obeyed when he was called to go out to the place which he would receive as an inheritance. And he went out, not knowing where he was going.

When you hear FATHER’S Voice and respond accordingly, you are walking in faith.  You no longer accept what your five physical senses are telling you in the lower realm but instead you are trusting in FATHER’S Word and ability to perform in the higher and superior realm on your behalf.  You are not moved by what you see and hear, you no longer accept the evil report submitted by the world.  Abraham believed FATHER’S Word to him rather than his body or the barrenness of Sarah.  Once Abraham embraced FATHER’S Word, Sarah responded as well:

11 By faith Sarah herself also received strength to conceive seed, and she bore a child when she was past the age, because she judged Him faithful who had promised.

12 Therefore from one man, and him as good as dead, were born as many as the stars of the sky in multitude—innumerable as the sand which is by the seashore.

Both were witnesses to FATHER’S supernatural power.  Let us also become witnesses to HIS power in our lives as we walk in faith pleasing HIM.  We must immerse ourselves in HIS Word to the point where we believe HIM more than we believe the world and it bombardment of evil reports.  Faith is the substance of things hoped for but you must first develop your hope that FATHER will intervene and operate in you and through you in Love for others.  HIS Word will cleanse you of unbelief but it is your choice to go through the cleansing process.  As you move toward purity in purpose, you will begin to sense an activation in your life.  Your faith will rise up and you will begin to see those things that were previously unsolvable as non-issues.  Doubt will depart from you.

What about my past sins, lawlessness, and failures?  FATHER’S grace and mercy are greater than anything you have done or have been a part of in the past.  Paul (who was Saul) officiated over the killing of believers yet FATHER used him to pen two-thirds of the New Testament and minister life and healing to many.  Moses killed a man yet FATHER had no problem empowering his calling to set the captives free from Egypt.  FATHER used heathen kings to do HIS bidding thus I am confident that FATHER can use you and me for HIS Purpose.  Let not guilt of past failures prevent you from embracing the Way, the Truth, and the Life FATHER would have you walk out in these times.

My prayer for you is found in Colossians chapter 1:

9 For this reason we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to ask that you may be filled with the knowledge of His will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding;

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;

12 giving thanks to the Father who has qualified us to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in the light.

13 He has delivered us from the power of darkness and conveyed us into the kingdom of the Son of His love,

14 in whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins.

When faith walks in Love, nothing is held back by FATHER for you know HIS Will and HE will have you bear witness of HIM to those you encounter.  Hallelujah!

Do You Know HIS Ways?

January 28th, 2016

There are those who are called to enter into the “Promised” land today but many will give excuses such as is found in Luke 14:

17 and sent his servant at supper time to say to those who were invited, ‘Come, for all things are now ready.’

18 But they all with one accord began to make excuses. The first said to him, ‘I have bought a piece of ground, and I must go and see it. I ask you to have me excused.’

19 And another said, ‘I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I am going to test them. I ask you to have me excused.’

20 Still another said, ‘I have married a wife, and therefore I cannot come.’

What is so important that you are unwilling to lay your life down for THE LORD GOD ALMIGHTY?  Little do people realize that as you give yourself fully to FATHER, HE is able to give HIMSELF fully to you.  Let me assure you it is a great life even when the adversary comes to mess with you.  Knowing that FATHER is with you allows you to rest in the midst of your enemies:

Psalm 138:7 ​​Though I walk in the midst of trouble, You will revive me;

​​You will stretch out Your hand against the wrath of my enemies,

​​And Your right hand will save me.

My daughter recently shared a quote with me: What we fear most often reveals where we trust GOD the least.  Only you and FATHER truly know what is in your heart.  Whatever your area of weakness is, let FATHER turn it into a strength.  Do you have a hard time praying?  If so, consider that you don’t have a deep enough relationship with FATHER or you could easily carry on a conversation with HIM.  If you knew HIS Ways you could and would proclaim them as you present the request at hand.  If you knew Christ The Healer, you would pursue healing through Him rather than a man or woman with a white coat who is practicing on you.

Many are predisposed to focusing on politics, sports, hobbies, etc. whereas I am predisposed with knowing FATHER and HIS ways to the point I can make a blessed difference in people’s lives.  When you have a solution to a problem that truly works, you want to share it with others.  When you encounter a difficult situation and you are led out of it in a peaceful and positive fashion, you rejoice and seek to share it to the benefit of those willing to listen.

The world is in a persistent state of turmoil now and we must ask who has a solution to all of the problems plaguing mankind today.  Only FATHER can bring us out of the muck and mire for there is none with the ability to do so other than HIM.  Love is the only answer and the question is will you participate in HIS deliverance as a vessel of honor or will you simply be one of the untold recipients.  If you are in the latter group, what will be your excuse for missing out on the most exciting opportunity of a lifetime?  Once you begin to know HIS Way, HIS Truth, and HIS Life, you will be at peace in any situation you find yourself in.

Jesus spoke:

John 13:34 “A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another. 35 By this all will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another.”

Let FATHER flow through you to the benefit of others.
