If there is any Scripture that I think of when I reflect about my time with Brian and Freda, it is the following:

Colossians 1:24 I now rejoice in my sufferings for you, and fill up in my flesh what is lacking in the afflictions of Christ, for the sake of His body, which is the church,

25 of which I became a minister according to the stewardship from God which was given to me for you, to fulfill the word of God,

26 the mystery which has been hidden from ages and from generations, but now has been revealed to His saints.

27 To them God willed to make known what are the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles: which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.

28 Him we preach, warning every man and teaching every man in all wisdom, that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus.

29 To this end I also labor, striving according to His working which works in me mightily.

FATHER sent me to see them in May of last year where I spent six days at their house simply listening and observing their lives.  Due to poor health, Brian was unable to drive so I drove them to various places they longed to see again.  Being an American driving on the narrow roads of southwestern England on the “wrong” side of the road, it was like driving an obstacle course.  He was unable to record anything due to his health.

This year, Brian’s health had improved but was still unable to drive any distance so I once again chauffeured them to those places which had fond memories for them both.  It was an honor and privilege to minister to them.  They truly walk in Love and honor all of life.  As you may realize by watching the videos posted, Brian is meticulous in every aspect of his life and Freda is the true definition of a “help meet”.  She commonly recalls the details he now has trouble remembering and is patient with the long recovery process of both his eye operation as well as the four hour heart operation he recently went through.

They live in a house that overlooks the town of Glastonbury.  They both enjoy gardening and feeding the wildlife in the area (especially Mr. Badger who comes at night for his peanuts).  As Brian noted in one of the videos, the birds know Freda quite well.  They will notify her of her feeding duties.  I was able to observe the dynamics of the 50 different species of birds that frequent their feeding tray.  Yes, they have meticulously recorded all 50 species in their journal.

In Brian’s library, I found an original copy of T.L. Osborn’s book “Healing the Sick” along with countless other books of great evangelists of the twentieth century.  This particular book has great personal meaning to me as FATHER had me reread the book in 1984 when I received a miraculous healing of a severe case of Hepatitis A.  George Jeffries, A.A. Allen, D.L. Moody, Oral Roberts, William Branham, and many other authors are on the shelves of his massive bookcase.  The attic contains reel to reel tapes of some of those evangelists as well.  One morning we listened to George Jeffries preach, originally recorded on a 78 rpm vinyl record which was transferred to a cassette tape.

In these days of instant gratification, it is important that we stop and reflect of what past generations have endured.  If I can glean just one revelation from listening to a man such as Brian who has history of serving FATHER, then it was well worth the time.  Brian admits that he is tired and we don’t know how much longer he and Freda will be with us.  It is an honor to post these videos and possibly broadcast the final chapter of his public ministry.  It seems like the theme of “bookends” continues.  The old must be completed before the new can come forth.

Ephesians 3:14 For this reason I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,

15 from whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named,

16 that He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with might through His Spirit in the inner man,

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.

20 Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us,

21 to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen.

From my friend Mike:

#432  Word  05/19/2015, 7:46 A.M.,
           sent 05/21/2015.

Be true to First things first and walk the
    day out in My joy and rejoicing.
It will be a full day, but embrace it with
    the Life you have through Me and
    receive the Life that is in it.
You have come into the world through Me
    to give Life: the Life you have received.
It is done in many ways by many people.
    Embrace the way I have made you to
    express it.  It is perfect for you.

This is a great word to ponder.  In addition, the number 432 happens to have a special meaning to me as a musician.

Up to 60% of the human adult body is water.  According to H.H. Mitchell, Journal of Biological Chemistry 158, the brain and heart are composed of 73% water, and the lungs are about 83% water. The skin contains 64% water, muscles and kidneys are 79%, and even the bones are watery: 31%.

The following pictures depict the impact of sound on the human body. The left one projects harmony and the right one reveals interference and disruption:

A new song is sung in Revelation 14:

3 They sang as it were a new song before the throne, before the four living creatures, and the elders; and no one could learn that song except the hundred and forty-four thousand who were redeemed from the earth.

4 These are the ones who were not defiled with women, for they are virgins. These are the ones who follow the Lamb wherever He goes. These were redeemed from among men, being firstfruits to God and to the Lamb.

5 And in their mouth was found no deceit, for they are without fault before the throne of God.

I found a site that can explain the ramifications of tuning to 432 Hz rather than 440 Hz.  See:  https://atrueott.wordpress.com/2014/10/16/why-christians-and-worship-teams-should-tune-all-instruments-to-432-hz-and-abandon-440-hz/  Don’t concern yourself too much with doctrines and conclusions found in this site or any other site for that matter.  Simply let FATHER take care of those areas.

I am pleased to announce that the Servias Ministries film crew has returned from the United Kingdom with video from Glastonbury England.  Brian and Freda Williams represent the international ministries associated with the 20th century.  They spent over 50 years ministering around the world conducting crusades on several continents.  There were many converted and healed in their meetings.  Brian became acquainted with George Jeffries, T.L. Osborne, Oral Roberts, and others who spread the Gospel throughout the century.

Brian ministered at a Tabernacles conference in Port Austin at the turn of this century.  He will celebrate his 80th birthday this year and in honor of his part in spreading the Gospel during the close of the Age of Pentecost, we present four video sessions.  He shares various life events and what he believes to be important in this hour.  It is our pleasure to honor the previous generation by sharing these videos with you.  Enjoy!

PS: Don’t miss the last one! The pathway to Spiritual cognition in full waking consciousness.

Jesus spoke:

Matthew 24:45 “Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his master made ruler over his household, to give them food in due season?

46 Blessed is that servant whom his master, when he comes, will find so doing.

47 Assuredly, I say to you that he will make him ruler over all his goods.”

Luke chapter 12 records the same message of Jesus:

42 And the Lord said, “Who then is that faithful and wise steward, whom his master will make ruler over his household, to give them their portion of food in due season?

43 Blessed is that servant whom his master will find so doing when he comes.

44 Truly, I say to you that he will make him ruler over all that he has.”

There will be a group of committed individuals who will be found faithful and wise at the closing of this age.  I call these “the very elect”.  Their lives are fully committed to FATHER and their focus is to live reverent to HIM moment by moment.  They are grateful and faithful to the duties given to them as stewards and seek HIS guidance as they carry out the demands of their daily lives.  They are fruitful wherever they are planted.  Their Love walk has been tested and is coming to full maturity as they are focused on hearing HIS Voice.  They immerse themselves in HIS Word in whatever manner it comes.  They know FATHER is not limited to only one form of communication and they see and hear the witness throughout creation.

The faith of the Very Elect has been growing and maturing as well.  They know that great faith will be required in the days ahead.  A transition from the old to the new will disrupt the surroundings as it has throughout history.  Those who are unprepared will experience the weeping and gnashing of teeth.

What does “weeping and gnashing of teeth” mean?  Weeping and gnashing of teeth is a figure for remorse and trauma because of exclusion from FATHER’S promise, call, and/or selection.  We must remain faithful to steward over that which we have been given and continue on the path to full maturity as the day approaches.  We must keep our lamps trimmed and maintain sufficient “oil” when the Bridegroom arrives.  We must not compare ourselves to others who have a different calling with different demands.  The widow’s mite was as precious to FATHER as great sums presented by the wealthy.  HE looks at the intent of the heart.

We must not let our focus be diverted to the temporal things of the world.  Technology has been given to us as a tool and we must not let it become our focus but instead we must remain fixed on our calling from Above.  We must view people we encounter as one of FATHER’S unique creations rather than an adversary or an interruption to our day.  Saul persecuted Believers yet Stephen understood Saul’s blindness would be subject to change and interceded for Saul as his own physical body was shutting down.  We must look beyond the circumstances of others and see them as FATHER sees them.  HE made no mistake when HE formed them in the womb.

We are to provide “food” in due season to others.  This food is not restricted to only Spiritual but applies to meeting the needs of those who are brought to you for stewardship.  Proper disbursement of “food” would indicate discernment is required for you cannot feed strong meat to an immature one.  You must nurture and feed others according to where they are at in their walk, not according to your level of maturity.  Some will be ready for the deeper revelation given to you by FATHER whereas others are simply interested in fellowship.  We should be instant in season and out.  We must not alienate others because of their lack of understanding and maturity.  Jesus was constantly Loving the disciples in spite of their ignorance and weaknesses.

Those who have knowledge without wisdom and understanding will not make the cut.  You can be the smartest guy around but if you don’t walk in Love you may experience weeping and gnashing of teeth.  Being a Biblical scholar won’t get you selected.  Jesus made that clear as He dealt with the experts of The Law.  Being led by HIS Spirit is critical and we must set ourselves apart to hear HIS Voice to the point of being ever aware of HIM throughout the day.  Not my will but Yours FATHER!

Does it really matter that we must know when the next big event occurs?  If we focus on walking in HIS Presence and by HIS Spirit daily, we will be fully prepared for any future noteworthy event.  HE will declare us to be faithful and wise stewards and we will enter into HIS Rest.

Proverbs 1:5  A wise man will hear and increase learning,
And a man of understanding will attain wise counsel,

We are currently flooded with information like never before.  Within the flow of information are the opinions from all types of so-called experts.  I have found that I can only trust where FATHER directs me and what I hear HIM say.  HE will use people from every walk of life to speak forth a facet of HIS plan so we must not ignore any encounter by judging the source.  Remember, HE used an Ass to speak to Balaam (Numbers 22:22-30).  As we walk in non-judgmental Love, our ability to discern increases.

‘To discern” means to distinguish, to recognize as distinct or different, to perceive; discriminate.  Each of us has a unique perspective of what is going on around us and as we share what we see with others, a multi-dimensional picture is formed.  We respond to that picture according to our level of understanding.  Each of us can read a certain passage in Scripture and it will minister to us according to our own need even though others may see something totally different.  FATHER will not be placed in a box with a single view determining HIS Divine Intent.

Now that you have been alerted to the need to be wise and discern according to what FATHER says to you specifically, I want to share with you that my attention has been drawn to the fall of this year once again.  There appears to be a convergence of diverse writings and other forms of communication that all appear to focus and culminate after August 31st of this year.  These diverse forms of communication all come in the form of warnings of expected upheaval.  Rejection of the Gospel and the pursuit of the world’s ways are leading mankind to a day of reckoning.  Clearly FATHER has been preparing HIS Remnant to be fully prepared when the day of judgment comes.  The Standard of Truth will arise as the world’s way comes crashing down.

Proverbs 30:24 ​​There are four things which are little on the earth,

​​But they are exceedingly wise:

25 ​​The ants are a people not strong,​​ Yet they prepare their food in the summer;

26 ​​The rock badgers are a feeble folk, ​​Yet they make their homes in the crags;

27 ​​The locusts have no king, ​​Yet they all advance in ranks;

28 ​​The spider skillfully grasps with its hands, ​​And it is in kings’ palaces.

The ants are wise in that they store up food for the winter when the weather is adverse.  In the past I have written much about the deteriorating economic conditions as a warning to those who have been drawn to this site.  In more recent writings, FATHER had me focus on preparing those who desire to move on toward the perfection of Love.  The inward man determines the outward expression of fruitfulness.  As we change inwardly, we attract the resources we need to fulfill our calling.  This is not limited to any one area at the expense of another.  If we need something in the physical, FATHER will see to it that we have it.  If we need knowledge or information about a particular topic, HE will send this as well.

Will we see the collapse of the current economic system this fall?  If so, what should I do to prepare?  Those are questions that each of us might ask if we are seeing warning signs from multiple diverse sources.  Would it hurt to keep the pantry and freezer stocked up with extra food?  Would it hurt to keep extra cash on hand if the banks were to be closed for an extended “Bank Holiday” as they call it?  FATHER prepared Noah well in advance of the impending judgment while others were blind  and saw no issue.  After judgment comes restoration and we must be prepared to transition into that restoration in whatever form it takes.  The five wise virgins were in a constant state of preparation when that fateful day arrived.  The foolish virgins were too late once the time had arrived.

My family keeps extra nonperishable food on hand and I expect we will increase the levels over the summer.  The goal is to help others if an economic collapse comes, not just the immediate family.  What happens if nothing occurs toward the end of this year?  We will simply eat at home more often.  Until FATHER provides details, we will do what the exceedingly wise ants do: store up for future consumption.

There are about four months to prepare if you believe the warnings may be valid.  It is better to be four months early that one day late… if they are right.  We must not be fearful but instead we must be led by HIS SPIRIT to navigate through whatever adversity and challenges confronting us in the coming days, months, and years.  Perfect Love cast out fear.

The Fifth Commandment given to Moses was:

Exodus 20:12 ​​“Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be long and prosperous upon the earth which the LORD your God is giving you.”

The purpose of law is to support life and any perversion to it moves society to peril.  When Moses was given the Law, it is because FATHER Loved us and wanted to provide us with simple, concise guidelines to live our lives by.  We don’t have to memorize 613 commandments and statutes if we will simply pursue Love in every situation for it is the Divine Intent of all true Law.

The term “Father and Mother” represents those who came before you, the prior generations.  At an individual level it may be challenging to honor your physical parents because of their conduct and chosen path.  However, we must Love them as we are called to Love all of mankind no matter what their actions brought forth.  FATHER selected them to bring you into physical manifestation and is not unaware of what particular training program you were to be subjected to by your physical parents.  This commandment is intended for us to look beyond our own parents and honor the previous generations.  The previous generations had a part in getting us all to this very point in history and we must be grateful for that.  As history progresses we too will leave an inheritance for the next generation and Love always wants the best for those who are impacted.

By all accounts we are moving to the close of the Age of Pentecost.  We must not be critical of the previous generation for being unable to see into the Promised Land.  It was FATHER’S Plan to have them prepare the next generation to fulfill its ultimate call into maturity.  My parent’s generation lived through World War II and even though they were young, it had a notable impact on them.  They survived the Great Depression and suffered lack in every area.  There were no $5 latte’s in their time.  There were no air conditioned homes and most had first hand knowledge of outside bathrooms. aka outhouses.  The parents’ lives were not easy and they suffered many hardships yet they made sure the children were fed.  We must honor and respect the heritage that has been passed down for our stewardship in whatever form it takes.  When we deny the past, we are destined to reinvent the wheel again.  We must build on the revelation of FATHER given to them rather than starting over from scratch.  This attitude of embracing the past promotes long and prosperous days ahead for those who can grasp the value of past generations’ contributions to us.

This Sunday, May 24th, is the Feast of Pentecost.  In the Old Testament, the Law was given at Mount Sinai.  In the New Testament, the HOLY SPIRIT was given.  Both were given to direct us toward Love and life for all mankind.  In honor of this Feast, I traveled to Glastonbury, England to video Brian Williams and hope to post these videos to UStream for you viewing.  Brian and Freda were in the ministry for over 50 years and traveled to many countries throughout the world.  There were many who received Christ through his ministry as well as many who healed of sickness and disease.  He turns 80 years old on July 31st of this year.  Last year I traveled to his house hoping to video Brian reading The Law as he did at a Port Austin Tabernacles Conference in the 2000-2001 time frame.  His health prevented this from occurring.  That particular conference at Port Austin was unexpectedly the last public ministry of Brian.  FATHER had shut the doors to any further ministry and left Brian somewhat unfulfilled in his desire to continue to spread the Gospel.

I presented Brian and Freda with a Love offering we obtained through the acts of Love by those who responded.  They are extremely grateful and send their Love.  They live very modestly and this gift will surely help and minister to them greatly.  They live only a few hundred yards from the remains of the 2000 year old Holy Thorn Tree. (see:  http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1337159/Glastonburys-2000-year-old-Holy-Thorn-Tree-hacked-vandals.html for pictures and history)

There has been a recurring theme of “bookends” over the last 12 months.  It appears that Brian’s ministry was missing a bookend.  This year I was able to record four different sessions with Brian where he shares a variety of topics from his childhood to his ministry of Love.  If you take the time to view all four videos, you will gain a perspective of the life of a couple who have been fully committed to FATHER’S work and more deeply appreciate the heritage brought forth from their generation.

I am traveling on a “Mission of Love” and may not be able to post any writings for a few days.  I urge to reread the last few posts and ponder them.  Pursue the things Above and your reward will be enduring:

Hebrews 11:6  But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.

Proverbs 24:3 ​​Through wisdom a house is built,

​​And by understanding it is established;

4 ​​By knowledge the rooms are filled

​​With all precious and pleasant riches.

Whose house, dwelling, or habitation are you building?  In the LORD’S Prayer we come into agreement with FATHER for HIS Kingdom to come on earth as it is in Heaven.  The first place HIS Kingdom should come is within us individually and inwardly.  From there it will move outward.  The ego would have you believe that the external is the only place that is an issue and thus have you only focus on the external.  In the meanwhile the ego will increase its foothold on the internal when left to its own devices.

By all accounts, the Latter Rain movement was a precursor to the end of the Age except that Love was not the primary motivation of those who led the movement.  Their egos were stroked and they allowed themselves to be moved by the praises of men.  Preston Eby provides us a firsthand account:

“Many of the Lord’s apprehended ones have intensely desired and have earnestly sought after God’s power.  In the early days of my ministry I sought for power.  I fasted and prayed for signs, wonders, and miracles.  And the Lord graciously blessed us with great and mighty things!  God is still performing signs, wonders, and miracles at times and in places throughout the earth.  I have experienced the move of God in that dimension.  I have witnessed miracles that to the natural mind are incredible.  In those early days great numbers of God’s ministers stepped into that manifestation of divine power.  Many who read these lines remember those days when the lame walked, blind received sight, deaf ears were opened, tumors fell off, huge goiters disappeared instantly like the bursting of a balloon, and things needed appeared by the creative miracle of God.  Oh, yes!  I have witnessed all of those things with my own eyes, and some were even wrought at the laying on my hands.  We have seen batteries charged, gasoline created in the tank, and know of many other creative miracles, even fish appearing in a frying pan!

Consequently, I spent a number of years in those glorious days seeking for more and more of the power of God.  I knew that the manifestation of power we were seeing was merely a foretaste, a sample, an earnest and firstfruit of the power yet to be revealed in the kingdom of God.  I understood by revelation of the Holy Spirit  that God would one day move in a far greater way.  But I equated God’s move only with power.  I did not understand at that time, as I now understand, that should God commit to us great power — unlimited, omnipotent power — apart from understanding, knowledge, and wisdom, we would wreck the whole kingdom of God!  We saw this in the move of God that came in the 1940’s and 50’s.  Many a minister of God has made shipwreck of their lives and ministry, and done great damage to the people of God, because they received power apart from understanding, knowledge, and wisdom.  They desired power, sought power, got power; they misused power, misdirected power, became arrogant with power, using the power for their own aggrandizement and selfish and fleshly ends.  With their power they raised money, fleeced God’s sheep, lived luxuriously, made a name, built a kingdom, and with power they did everything except bring the glory and honor of God into the earth.”

This generation had the opportunity to realize the fullness of the LORD’S Prayer but left out the most important ingredient- Love!  When one is truly motivated by Love and is led fully by THE SPIRIT, then the ego dies and cannot lead you astray.  This is why I continue to emphasize the importance of dealing with “self”, ego, the flesh…  I have seen men of all walks be hindered by the subtle and deceitful flesh though they thought their anointing could not be compromised.  When Jesus Himself warned us about being deceived during these times, the issue has to be of extreme importance:

Matthew 24:24  For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.

Our brothers who witnessed great power in the 20th century have warned us of the pitfalls they saw and even experienced.  Their warnings must be taken seriously by those who desire to serve mankind to the fullest extent.  We must continue to press in and seek to walk in FATHER’S Wisdom, not our own.  HE will impart HIS Wisdom to those who ask.  HIS Words will produce great faith in those who have ears to hear.  When you seek HIS Divine Intent of Love you will have your hope refreshed and your intent and hope is then aligned with HIM.  The result:  Your house is built, established, and filled with enduring precious and pleasant riches.

The Hebrew word ra’ah is found 1313 times in Scripture and it means to see, look at, inspect, perceive, and/or consider.   The number 13 is an interesting number that happens to be connected to Our Heavenly  Father’s various names and descriptions.  The numeric values of HIS Names are all divisible by the same prime number:  13.  It is only fitting that the ability to see points to FATHER.

In Genesis 12:1, Abram’s first encounter with FATHER was when he heard HIM:

1 Now the LORD had said to Abram:

​​​“Get out of your country, ​​From your family

​​And from your father’s house, ​​To a land that I will show you.

2 ​​I will make you a great nation; ​​I will bless you

​​And make your name great; ​​And you shall be a blessing.

3 ​​I will bless those who bless you, ​​And I will curse him who curses you;

​​And in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.”

Abraham’s first encounter with FATHER was to hear but not see for his eyes had not yet been opened.  This is a common theme in Scripture- you first hear, then see.  But this doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t expect to see and so often we rationalize why we don’t see as an attempt to protect our egos.  Many of us have quoted Hebrews chapter 11:

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

2 For by it the elders obtained a good testimony.

3 By faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that the things which are seen were not made of things which are visible.

FATHER’S Divine Intent was first expressed and then seen as HE framed the worlds.  Hope is the expectation and desire for a certain thing to happen and FATHER’S Divine Intent expected the physical manifestation to come forth for HIM to see as HE spoke HIS Divine Intent.  Hope precedes faith and faith precedes manifestation.  Now let’s add another often quoted verse:

Romans 10:17  So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

First your expectation (hope) is planted and excited within your spirit when you hear FATHER’S Word, and then your faith is empowered.  Finally, the manifestation presents itself and finally you can see it.  This is a process that FATHER has revealed to us by HIS Word.  Many have understood it in varying degrees in the past but few have fully embraced it as a means to fulfill their calling.  Could it be that unbelief and insecurity brought on by the ego has caused men to come up short in this area?  The carnal man must see then he will believe.  Jesus rebuked the disciples concerning this issue in Mark 16 after His resurrection:

14  Later He appeared to the eleven as they sat at the table; and He rebuked their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they did not believe those who had seen Him after He had risen.

Jesus had no problem appearing to men after His resurrection and that reality still applies today.  He will not reward the carnal man who must see to believe but He is pleased with those who first believe then see.  Many have stopped short of the above process as they quote John 20:

29  Jesus said to him, “Thomas, because you have seen Me, you have believed. Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.”

We must understand the context in which Jesus spoke this Word.  He directed it to Thomas who had earlier said that he would specifically not believe without first seeing.  Jesus Loved Thomas and dealt with his error and allowed him to not only see but to also inspect His wounds.  Jesus has no issue in showing Himself to Thomas or us.  FATHER had no issue in showing HIMSELF to Abram (Abraham) after Abram heard HIS VOICE:

Genesis 12:7  7 Then the LORD appeared to Abram and said, “To your descendants I will give this land.” And there he built an altar to the LORD, who had appeared to him.

Abram had yet to fully receive a change in character which would result in the change of his name when he saw FATHER.  We must not limit our seeing by allowing our ego to convince us we are not worthy to see or it is not HIS Will for us to see HIM.  Abram was not hindered in his ability to see because he simply trusted the WORD that he heard FATHER speak.  Do you think that Love only wants to present itself in our hearing only?  In the Song of Solomon, most of the book is about describing what is seen, a fulfillment of Love.

I believe THE LORD will appear to those who first believe but are willing also to see HIM.  The children of Israel as heard FATHER from afar but only Moses was willing to ascend to see HIM, even if it was only HIS backside at the time.  The disciples and untold others have seen Jesus after His resurrection.  We too must be expecting to have our eyes opened in response to the hope presented here today.  The world does not expect to see HIM but we should.  We should expect “the unexpected”.  He wasn’t too busy to appear to Saul who was His adversary at the time.  I don’t believe He is too busy or preoccupied to appear to anyone who is truly expecting Him though we must not place any preconditions in which He must respond.  Love desires and longs for HIS Presence in all aspects.

2 Kings 9:17  And Elisha prayed, and said, “LORD, I pray, open his eyes that he may see.” Then the LORD opened the eyes of the young man, and he saw. And behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha.

Ezekiel 3:23  So I arose and went out into the plain, and behold, the glory of the LORD stood there, like the glory which I saw by the River Chebar; and I fell on my face.

Revelation 19:11  Now I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse. And He who sat on him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He judges and makes war.

In Ezekiel chapter 12, FATHER spoke to Ezekiel and said “Son of man, you dwell in the midst of a rebellious house, which has eyes to see but does not see, and ears to hear but does not hear; for they are a rebellious house.”  Those who are rebellious do not align themselves with the WORD of THE LORD and HIS Divine Intent.  We are no longer ignorant of HIS Word of “believing then seeing”.  Those around HIS Throne and who are called to ride in HIS army expect to see HIM.  Why not now?  After all as Jesus said in John chapter 4:

23  “But the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for the Father is seeking such to worship Him.”

Let us not stand afar off but let us ascend and expect HIM to appear as our eyes are opened to behold HIS Glory!

Saul (who was Paul) was one of the “elite” among the establishment and had been groomed to rise to greatness among the Jews.  That changed when he had his “corrective” interview with Jesus.  What better man to preach the foolishness of the world than one who saw first hand their path of destruction and error.  Paul wrote in 1 Corinthians chapter 1:

18 For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. 19 For it is written:

​​​“I will destroy the wisdom of the wise,

​​And bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent.”

​Paul quoted Isaiah 29:14 which speaks of the blindness of disobedience.  Believers who only focus on world events are easily frustrated by what it going on around the globe.  They lose internal peace when they see no end in sight to the sin and lawlessness.  They are overwhelmed by constant bombardment of perversion being seen as the norm.  Those in control have lost touch with the truth and are fully blinded to righteousness.  As Paul shares, FATHER sees their wisdom as foolishness:

20 Where is the wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the disputer of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of this world?

21 For since, in the wisdom of God, the world through wisdom did not know God, it pleased God through the foolishness of the message preached to save those who believe.

22 For Jews request a sign, and Greeks seek after wisdom;

Are you as one of the Jews always looking for a sign?  Why not listen for HIS Voice instead?  Or are you like a Greek who looks for wisdom among men’s writings hoping to ascend to a higher level of understanding as though it will move you closer to FATHER?  FATHER’S response to the Greek path:

Isaiah 55:8 ​​“For My thoughts are not your thoughts,

​​Nor are your ways My ways,” says the LORD.

9 ​​“For as the heavens are higher than the earth,

​​So are My ways higher than your ways,

​​And My thoughts than your thoughts.

​The solution to today’s problems is found only with FATHER, no one else!  Wars and rumors of wars are persistent around the globe.  Men are fighting for resources and their carnal way of life but the flesh will never be satisfied.  Men cite history as their justification to take land back from the current occupation.  Has everyone forgotten the the earth and its fullness is FATHER’S?  Only FATHER truly has the right to all the land.  Everyone else has been given a derivative claim to inheritance.  FATHER has confounded the wise by HIS method of bringing forth the solution of unconditional Love to the earth- the cross.  Once Paul had his encounter with Jesus, he clearly saw the unfolding plan and shared it with the Corinthians:

23 but we preach Christ crucified, to the Jews a stumbling block and to the Greeks foolishness,

24 but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God.

25 Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men.

The best person to prepare your taxes is a CPA.  The best person to fix your car is a master mechanic.  The best ONE to fix your life is FATHER!  Don’t rely on the foolishness of men, they will only steer you into the ditch.  When that happens, it is THE FATHER’S Hand which will lift you out.  In Matthew 15, Jesus referred to this ditch:

14 “Let them alone. They are blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind leads the blind, both will fall into a ditch.”
