A Life Of Miracles

February 14th, 2025

We are called to live a life of miracles!

Miracles are intended to minister to people around us who are filled with broken situations.  You and I are called to the miraculous, but it is not so that your self-esteem could grow but rather it is to bring forth the Kingdom of God in people’s lives.  Miracles are not intended to entertain or bring attention to us.  They are intended to reveal a facet of GOD’S Love and power to the one who is broken.

People are looking for somebody who knows GOD, who believes GOD and is willing to step into their life and say, “I will stand with you on this matter.”  Jesus did not give us authority so that we could sit in a pew and wait for the rapture.  He gave us power and authority to deal with the works of the devil and to silence that illegal voice that torments people with lies and deceptions.

We have been given the great privilege to walk in that anointing that Jesus himself walked in.  We have a miracle mandate!  The Words of Jesus come directly from Our Heavenly Father, the ONE Who created the heavens and the earth, and every living thing that inhabits earth, no exceptions.

Jesus expressed FATHER’S Intent as He spoke in John chapter 14:

7 “If you had known Me, you would have known My Father also; and from now on you know Him and have seen Him.”

His Words are precise and true, and they need no one to add or subtract their Intent with man’s opinion.

Luke recorded by The Holy Spirit in Acts chapter 10:

38 how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power, Who went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with Him.

You and I are meant to not only walk in the same anointing, but a greater anointing.

Jesus made this quite clear as He spoke in John chapter 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.

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.

15 “If you Love Me, keep My commandments.

16 And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever-

How much do you Love Jesus?  Are you willing to keep all His commandments or just those you select that require no real action on your part?  His commandments to perform miracles are part of our mandate to go forth.

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Romans chapter 15:

18 For I will not dare to speak of any of those things which Christ has not accomplished through me, in word and deed, to make the Gentiles obedient-

19 in mighty signs and wonders, by the power of the Spirit of God, so that from Jerusalem and round about to Illyricum I have fully preached the Gospel of Christ.

Paul embraced the mandate, so should we.  Mighty signs and wonders must be included to fully preach The Gospel of Christ.  It requires miracles in order for The Gospel to be fully preached.  Let us not compromise the mandate given to us by Christ Himself.  We need to be fully entrenched in our assignment. 

We don’t have the luxury of changing the assignment.  People will often retreat to what they do well and forsake what He’s called us to do.  FATHER places us in situations where we are uncomfortable so that there is no question where the miracles come from… HIM not us. 

Paul also wrote by The Holy Spirit in 2nd Corinthians chapter 12:

10 So I’m not defeated by my weakness, but delighted! For when I feel my weakness and endure mistreatment—when I’m surrounded with troubles on every side and face persecution because of my Love for Christ—I am made yet stronger. For my weakness becomes a portal to God’s power.

GOD has called us to invade the impossible and demonstrate HIS Love, demonstrate HIS purity, and demonstrate HIS power through the miraculous.

Experience Changes Perception

February 13th, 2025

Your experience will change your perception!

When you experience the supernatural, your theory becomes reality, that is, if your theory is based on The Word of GOD.  Men have opinions that may or may not line up with HIS Word.  Some will say that GOD does not supernaturally heal anymore.  However, both my wife and I have been supernaturally healed and have observed many supernatural healings.  It’s too late to convince me of man’s opinions that conflict with The Word.  Their perceptions have no basis of reality.

Additionally, I have experienced the Presence of an Angel of THE LORD.  I was with two other men sitting at a table in a restaurant in Minneapolis when an Angel appeared.  I could not move one muscle.  It was as though I was glued to the chair until His departure.  His Presence demanded reverence in the Fear of THE LORD.

Moses wrote by The Holy Spirit in Exodus chapter 33:

11 So the LORD spoke to Moses face to face, as a man speaks to his friend. And he would return to the camp, but his servant Joshua the son of Nun, a young man, did not depart from the tabernacle.

Would Our Heavenly Father look to you as a friend as HE did Moses?

12 Then Moses said to the LORD, “See, You say to me, ‘Bring up this people.’ But You have not let me know whom You will send with me. Yet You have said, ‘I know you by name, and you have also found grace in My sight.’

13 Now therefore, I pray, if I have found grace in Your Sight, show me now Your way, that I may know You and that I may find grace in Your sight. And consider that this nation is Your people.”

Moses had an intimate relationship with THE LORD, he knew HIS ways, HIS Divine Intent.

14 And He said, “My Presence will go with you, and I will give you rest.”

15 Then he said to Him, “If Your Presence does not go with us, do not bring us up from here.

16 For how then will it be known that Your people and I have found grace in Your sight, except You go with us? So we shall be separate, Your people and I, from all the people who are upon the face of the earth.”

17 So the LORD said to Moses, “I will also do this thing that you have spoken; for you have found grace in My sight, and I know you by name.” 

Moses would forego entering The Promised Land if the Presence of THE LORD did not go with him.  His relationship with THE LORD was more important than the expectation of entering The Promised Land without The Presence.

What would you give up to be in the Presence of THE LORD?  Our unconditional surrender is required to have an intimate relationship with Our Heavenly Father.  If The Holy Spirit instructs you to say or do something, and you delay, you have placed His Will below your own will.  Think about it!

Once I experienced The Fear of THE LORD, my whole perception changed.  My mindset began to line up with my spirit.  The same thing happened to Paul.

Luke recorded by The Holy Spirit in Acts chapter 9:

1 Then Saul (Paul), still breathing threats and murder against the disciples of the Lord, went to the high priest

2 and asked letters from him to the synagogues of Damascus, so that if he found any who were of the Way, whether men or women, he might bring them bound to Jerusalem.

3 As he journeyed he came near Damascus, and suddenly a light shone around him from Heaven.

4 Then he fell to the ground, and heard a Voice saying to him, “Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting Me?”

5 And he said, “Who are You, Lord?” Then the Lord said, “I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting. It is hard for you to kick against the goads.”

6 So he, trembling and astonished, said, “Lord, what do You want me to do?” Then the Lord said to him, “Arise and go into the city, and you will be told what you must do.”

Paul’s perception changed immediately and so would yours.  As we pursue an intimacy with THE LORD by our full surrender, expect HIS Presence to manifest in some manner.  It will definitely impact your perception.

Testing Our Surrender

February 12th, 2025

When you surrender your life to THE LORD, you will be tested!

When you commit to living a surrendered life, you will be tested to see if the commitment was of the heart or only soulish in nature in the emotion of the moment.

Moses wrote by The Holy Spirit in Genesis chapter 22:

1 Now it came to pass after these things that God tested Abraham, and said to him, “Abraham!” And he said, “Here I am.”

2 Then He said, “Take now your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you.

Isaac was Abraham’s “miracle” son given to him after 25 years of believing GOD’S Word.  Abraham was 75 when the promise was given and 100 when Isaac was born.  Isaac was precious in Abraham’s sight.  How patient are you in waiting for the manifestation of a prophecy to occur?

3 So Abraham rose early in the morning and saddled his donkey, and took two of his young men with him, and Isaac his son; and he split the wood for the burnt offering, and arose and went to the place of which God had told him.

4 Then on the third day Abraham lifted his eyes and saw the place afar off.

5 And Abraham said to his young men, “Stay here with the donkey; the lad and I will go yonder and worship, and we will come back to you.”

Notice the word “we”.  Abraham expected GOD to somehow raise up Isaac from the dead.

6 So Abraham took the wood of the burnt offering and laid it on Isaac his son; and he took the fire in his hand, and a knife, and the two of them went together.

7 But Isaac spoke to Abraham his father and said, “My father!” And he said, “Here I am, my son.” Then he said, “Look, the fire and the wood, but where is the lamb for a burnt offering?”

8 And Abraham said, “My son, God will provide for Himself the lamb for a burnt offering.” So the two of them went together.

9 Then they came to the place of which God had told him. And Abraham built an altar there and placed the wood in order; and he bound Isaac his son and laid him on the altar, upon the wood.

Isaac had enough trust in his father to allow himself to be bound up, so he expected to somehow survive the event.

10 And Abraham stretched out his hand and took the knife to slay his son.

11 But the Angel of the LORD called to him from heaven and said, “Abraham, Abraham!” So he said, “Here I am.”

12 And He said, “Do not lay your hand on the lad, or do anything to him; for now I know that you fear God, since you have not withheld your son, your only son, from Me.”

Thankfully, Abraham heard the Word of THE LORD.  He passed the test of full surrender willing to give his most precious possession- His son.  Isaac also passed the test, willing to submit to his father as the knife was about to take his life.

13 Then Abraham lifted his eyes and looked, and there behind him was a ram caught in a thicket by its horns. So Abraham went and took the ram, and offered it up for a burnt offering instead of his son.

14 And Abraham called the name of the place, The-LORD-Will-Provide; as it is said to this day, “In the Mount of the LORD it shall be provided.”

According to Jewish tradition Solomon built the temple on Mount Moriah, commemorating the exact spot where Abraham stretched out Isaac upon the altar of sacrifice. Mount Moriah, the Temple of Solomon, the place of Isaac sacrifice, and Golgotha — are all the same place.

Abraham’s obedience set the stage for the ultimate sacrifice of a Son.

15 Then the Angel of the LORD called to Abraham a second time out of Heaven, 16 and said: “By Myself I have sworn, says the LORD, because you have done this thing, and have not withheld your son, your only son-

17 blessing I will bless you, and multiplying I will multiply your descendants as the stars of the heaven and as the sand which is on the seashore; and your descendants shall possess the gate of their enemies.

18 In your seed all the nations of the earth shall be blessed, because you have obeyed My Voice.”

Full surrender and obedience to respond to HIS Voice will ultimately bring forth the Kingdom of GOD to the earth.  Abraham definitely walked in the Fear of THE LORD, and he was rewarded for his total obedience.

The Purpose Of Prayer

February 11th, 2025

Weakness in prayer exposes us into temptation that we didn’t need to face!

Jesus spoke in Matthew chapter 26:

41 “Watch and pray, lest you enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.”

In other words, a prayerful life insulates you from temptation.

Paul wrote seven exhortations by The Holy Spirit in 1st Thessalonians chapter 5:

16 Rejoice always,

17 pray without ceasing,

18 in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.

19 Do not quench The Holy Spirit.

20 Do not despise prophecies.

21 Test all things; hold fast what is good.

22 Abstain from every form of evil.

We are not to attempt to avoid pain, but we are to rejoice always in every situation.  We are not to inflict pain, but when it comes, find out the purpose of the pain through prayer.  The Holy Spirit will instruct you in dealing with pain appropriately.

Wisdom recorded in Proverbs chapter 4:

23 Keep (guard) your heart with all diligence, For out of it spring the issues of life.

In other Words, above all, guard the affections of your heart, for they affect all that you are. Pay attention to the welfare of your innermost being, for from there flows the wellspring of Life.

When we walk in a prayerful life, we are protecting our hearts from every form of death-promoting evil.  When we allow The Holy Spirit to lead us in prayer, our hearts move closer to the Heart of GOD.

Paul also wrote by The Holy Spirit in Ephesians chapter 4:

30 And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption.

Quenching The Holy Spirit is done by restricting Him from operating in your life.  On the other hand, grieving The Holy Spirit is done by walking in an unrighteous manner such as lying, stealing, walking in bitterness, wrath, complaining, etc.

Your spirit is willing to pray.  The flesh is weak concerning prayer.  It is easy to sleep in even though you committed to getting up at 5 AM to pray for an hour.  Jesus’ own disciples didn’t stay awake in the garden.

The strength of my prayer life is according to the strength of my spirit over my flesh.  The Holy Spirit lives in your spirit so there is perfect communion there.  They function well day and night but sometimes there is something that takes mastery over your own spirit.  That is human weakness, frailty, flesh, appetite, desire that is very natural and can become very, very carnal.

The issue of mastery over flesh is vital to an effective prayer life.

The purpose of prayer is not merely for me to talk to GOD about doing things.  It’s really about obtaining His Heart, His Divine Intent and aligning our walk with His Intent.  Our prayers should be the result of our relationship with Him, not parroting some standard form of prayer.

Jesus spoke in John chapter 15:

15 No longer do I call you servants, for a servant does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for all things that I heard from My Father I have made known to you.

Moses was a friend for he knew the ways of GOD.  The children of Israel only knew GOD by HIS acts.  You and I are meant to be friends, not merely servants.  A servant is accustomed to responding to commands.  What FATHER is looking for is our interest about what is in HIS Heart.  A mature Son is able to properly administer HIS Father’s Kingdom based on knowing HIS Father’s Intent.

Bringing Forth Kingdom Fruit

February 10th, 2025

We are to bring forth fruit that glorifies GOD and HIS Kingdom on earth!

This fruit is not intended to be self-serving, but to lead people unto salvation and healing.

FATHER has already determined to do certain things.  Our job is to find out what those things are and how we are to partner with HIM, co-laboring in a place of surrender to bring them into reality here on earth. 

If something doesn’t happen, HE is not the problem… we are!  We can’t use the “Sovereignty” excuse because FATHER is not willing that any should perish yet they are every day.  We must take seriously the assignment we have been given while on planet earth. 

More people have faith in the return of Christ than they do in the power of The Gospel.  It is easier to have an expectation of something happening in the unspecified future than it is to expect something supernatural in the here and now.  Christians are hoping that Jesus will come back and fix things when He actually gave us the Gospel that repairs, restores, heals, empowers, enables us to bring forth Heaven to earth now.

Jesus spoke in Matthew chapter 18:

18 I assure you and most solemnly say to you, whatever you bind [forbid, declare to be improper and unlawful] on earth shall have [already] been bound in Heaven, and whatever you loose [permit, declare lawful] on earth shall have [already] been loosed in Heaven.

19 “Again I say to you, that if two believers on earth agree [that is, are of one mind, in harmony] about anything that they ask [within the Will of God], it will be done for them by My Father in Heaven. [

20 For where two or three are gathered in My Name [meeting together as My followers], I am there among them.”  AMP

To bind or loose requires us to know FATHER’S Will.  HE is not obligated to respond to any request outside HIS Will.  You and I don’t have the luxury of changing our assignments to conform to what we naturally do well.  The Words of Jesus are emphatic by nature. 

FATHER is not obligated to keep us in our individual comfort zones.  Often, HE won’t.  Generally, our tests are meant to bring us out of that comfort zone we prefer to stay in.

Jesus commanded us to heal the sick; He didn’t say pray for the sick.  To review, Peter understood this command when he prayed for the lame man.

As Luke recorded by The Holy Spirit in Acts chapter 3:

3 So when the lame man saw Peter and John about to go into the temple, he began asking [them] for coins.

4 But Peter, along with John, stared at him intently and said, “Look at us!”

5 And the man began to pay attention to them, eagerly expecting to receive something from them.

6 But Peter said, “Silver and gold I do not have; but what I do have I give to you: In the Name (authority, power) of Jesus Christ the Nazarene—[begin now to] walk and go on walking!”

7 Then he seized the man’s right hand with a firm grip and raised him up. And at once his feet and ankles became strong and steady,

8 and with a leap he stood up and began to walk; and he went into the temple with them, walking and leaping and praising God.

Did Peter pray some lengthy prayer begging GOD to heal the lame man?  No!  Peter took the Words of Jesus literally and the Kingdom of GOD came to the lame man resulting in restoration of his legs to complete health and use.  Shouldn’t we do the same as Peter?  After all, Jesus spent forty days teaching Peter and the other disciples the principles of the Kingdom of GOD and how to walk accordingly.

His Power And Authority

February 9th, 2025

Our assignment is to usher in The Kingdom of God on earth!

Believers who don’t take this assignment seriously often defer to the Sovereignty of GOD as being the requirement to usher in HIS Kingdom.  In essence, they take no responsibility to obey the commands of Jesus.

Jesus spoke in Matthew chapter 12:

28 But if I cast out demons by the Spirit of God, surely the Kingdom of God has come upon you.

29 Or how can one enter a strong man’s house and plunder his goods, unless he first binds the strong man? And then he will plunder his house.

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

In other Words, “So join with Me, for if you’re not on My side you are against Me. And if you refuse to help Me gather the spoils, you are making things worse.”  This is a war with no neutrality!  You cannot sit on the sideline as an observer.

Matthew recorded by The Holy Spirit in Matthew chapter 10:

1 Jesus gathered His twelve disciples and imparted to them authority to cast out demons and to heal every sickness and every disease.

Both His power and authority were given for us to walk in as well, as Jesus stated in Mark chapter 16:

15 And Jesus said to them, “As you go into all the world, preach openly the wonderful news of the Gospel to the entire human race!

16 Whoever believes the Good News and is baptized will be saved, and whoever does not believe the Good News will be condemned.

17 And these miracle signs will accompany those who believe: They will drive out demons in the power of My Name. They will speak in tongues.

18 They will be supernaturally protected from snakes and from drinking anything poisonous. And they will lay hands on the sick and heal them.”

We don’t need to pray to FATHER for HIM to heal the person before us.  Jesus gave us the power and authority to use Hin Name in healing and driving out demons.

Peter and John understood this as Peter healed the lame man.

Luke recorded by The Holy Spirit in Acts chapter 3:

1 Now Peter and John went up together to the temple at the hour of prayer, the ninth hour.

2 And a certain man lame from his mother’s womb was carried, whom they laid daily at the gate of the temple which is called Beautiful, to ask alms from those who entered the temple;

3 who, seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple, asked for alms.

4 And fixing his eyes on him, with John, Peter said, “Look at us.”

5 So he gave them his attention, expecting to receive something from them.

6 Then Peter said, “Silver and gold I do not have, but what I do have I give you: By the power and authority of the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk.”

7 And he took him by the right hand and lifted him up, and immediately his feet and ankle bones received strength.

8 So he, leaping up, stood and walked and entered the temple with them-walking, leaping, and praising God.

9 And all the people saw him walking and praising God.

10 Then they knew that it was he who sat begging alms at the Beautiful Gate of the temple; and they were filled with wonder and amazement at what had happened to him.

Peter had no power and authority himself; he could not heal the man separate from the power and authority of the Name of Jesus Christ.  Peter did not quote some lengthy prayer begging for GOD to heal the man.  Peter had the faith of GOD in his spirit now and now had no unbelief as he did during the earthly ministry of Jesus.

What happened as a result of the lame man’s healing?

11 Dumbfounded over what they were witnessing, the crowd ran over to Peter and John, who were standing under the covered walkway called Solomon’s Porch. Standing there also was the healed beggar, clinging to Peter and John.

12 With the crowd surrounding him, Peter said to them all, “People of Israel, listen to me! Why are you so amazed by this healing? Why do you stare at us? We didn’t make this crippled man walk by our own power or authority.

This healing drew a crowd, and Peter preached the message of Jesus Christ to them.  What was the result?

Acts chapter 4:4 Yet there were many in the crowd who believed the message, bringing the total number of men who believed to nearly five thousand!

This one healing resulted in nearly 5,000 men plus women and children coming to Christ.  This is bringing the Kingdom of GOD to the earth!

Ushering In The Kingdom

February 8th, 2025

Jesus gave us the example of a lifestyle of prayer we are to follow for the purpose of ushering in The Kingdom of God on earth!

Jesus spoke in Matthew chapter 12:

22 Then one was brought to Him who was demon-possessed, blind and mute; and He healed him, so that the blind and mute man both spoke and saw.

23 And all the multitudes were amazed and said, “Could this be the Son of David?” 24 Now when the Pharisees heard it they said, “This fellow does not cast out demons except by Beelzebub, the ruler of the demons.”

25 But Jesus knew their thoughts, and said to them: “Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation, and every city or house divided against itself will not stand.

26 If Satan casts out Satan, he is divided against himself. How then will his kingdom stand?

27 And if I cast out demons by Beelzebub, by whom do your sons cast them out? Therefore they shall be your judges.

28 But if I cast out demons by the Spirit of God, surely the Kingdom of God has come upon you.

29 Or how can one enter a strong man’s house and plunder his goods, unless he first binds the strong man? And then he will plunder his house.

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

Jesus illustrated one aspect of The Kingdom of GOD coming to the earth when He cast the demon out of the blind mute.  Jesus discerned by The Holy Spirit that the source of the man’s problem was a demon.  We are meant to operate in the same manner as Jesus when confronted by a demon-possessed person.  The reason the demon left was because the Kingdom of GOD came upon the man. Light wins over darkness… always!  The former ruler over the man departed when confronted by The Kingdom of GOD.

If we don’t understand what GOD’S answers look like, then we can’t receive the encouragement from answers to prayer that we were designed to receive.

Jesus spoke in John chapter 16:

23 For here is Eternal Truth: When that time comes you won’t need to ask Me for anything, but instead you will go directly to the Father and ask Him for anything you desire and HE will give it to you, because of your relationship with Me.

24 Until now you’ve not been bold enough to ask the Father for a single thing in My Name, but now you can ask, and keep on asking Jim! And you can be sure that you’ll receive what you ask for, and your joy will have no limits!

Our overflowing joy has everything to do with recognizing the answers when they come.  We were designed to experience this gratification, the overflowing fullness of joy, when our answers to prayer are manifested.  We were designed to obtain fruit from prayer that glorifies GOD.

FATHER already has answers to prayer awaiting our prayers of bringing forth The Kingdom of GOD.  HE is obligated to fulfill HIS promises to us.  However, HE is not obligated to fulfill our potential.  If something doesn’t happen, people often say that it must not be GOD’S Will for it to happen.  Wrong!

Peter wrote by The Holy Spirit in 2nd  Peter chapter 3:

9 The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.

Are people perishing every day?  Yes, but it is not FATHER’S Will for any to perish but to come to repentance.  Don’t blame their perishing on the sovereignty of GOD. 

You and I have a responsibility to participate in some manner to move people to repentance.  The Holy Spirit will direct each of us to do our part if we submit to Him.  We are to take seriously the assignment we have been given to live on planet Earth and to usher in the Kingdom of God in so many different ways, being led by The Holy Spirit.

HIS Will Be Done!

February 7th, 2025

Jesus gave the disciples AND us, the expectation of THE FATHER for our individual lives!

One of His disciples asked Jesus how to pray:

Luke 11:1  Now it came to pass, as He was praying in a certain place, when He ceased, that one of His disciples said to Him, “Lord, teach us to pray, as John also taught his disciples.”

Jesus spoke in Matthew chapter 6:

9 In this manner, therefore, pray: Our Father in Heaven, Hallowed be Your Name. 10 Your Kingdom come. Your Will be done On earth as it is in Heaven.

11 Give us this day our daily bread.

12 And forgive us our debts, As we forgive our debtors.

13 And do not lead us into temptation, But deliver us from the evil one. For Yours is the Kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.

Jesus didn’t give us that prayer assignment simply to keep us busy.  Busyness is artificial significance.  Jesus emphasized this when He spoke in verse 7:

“When you pray, there is no need to repeat empty phrases, praying like the Gentiles do, for they expect God to hear them because of their many words.”

FATHER’S Intent is for HIS Kingdom to come to earth through us.  We are not to be spectators but instead we are to be participants.  Jesus gave us an assignment to pray, with a specific prayer, and an expected outcome: to bring forth His Kingdom.  He intends to fully answer that prayer. 

If we don’t understand what the answer looks like, we won’t be encouraged as we see progress throughout our life.  Whatever happens in Heaven should be happening here on earth.  If it is not happening in Heaven, it shouldn’t be happening here.  That is His expectation!  You are to bind here what is already bound in Heaven and you are to loose here what is already loosed in Heaven.

My job is not to go to Heaven but to bring Heaven to earth.  His job is to get me to Heaven after I have completed my assignment here on earth. 

The following verse summarizes how Jesus impacted the world.

Mark recorded by The Holy Spirit in Mark chapter 11:

20 Now in the morning, as they passed by, they saw the fig tree dried up from the roots.

21 And Peter, remembering, said to Him, “Rabbi, look! The fig tree which You cursed has withered away.”

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

23 For assuredly, I say to you (listen to the Truth I speak 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.

Jesus did not exaggerate as He revealed the Truth of walking in faith in GOD.  What would happen if a mountain was cast into the sea?  It would be known throughout the earth and people would be strongly affected by such a major event.

When we say whatever THE FATHER is saying, the reality of The Kingdom becomes present.  If GOD inhabits my praise, who inhabits my complaints?  Words empower worlds as shown in the Book of Genesis.

Wisdom spoke in Proverbs chapter 18:

20 A man’s stomach shall be satisfied from the fruit of his mouth; From the produce of his lips he shall be filled.

21 Death and life are in the power of the tongue, And those who love it will eat its fruit.

When we pray our assignment, FATHER is ready to answer the specifics of our prayer: Your Kingdom, Your Dominion come, Your Will be done on earth as it is in Heaven!

Entirely GOD Became Entirely Man

February 6th, 2025

Jesus walked in the power of The Holy Spirit as a man so that He could be our example!

The following verse summarizes how Jesus impacted the world.

Luke recorded by The Holy Spirit in Acts chapter 10:

38 how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power, Who went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with Him.

In this verse, Jesus’ humanity is emphasized with the description: Jesus of Nazareth, a man, not the Son of GOD, although He was the Lamb of GOD.  This allows Him to be our perfect Example, confirming that we have the same opportunity to walk and be led by The Holy Spirit and anointed with power.  Jesus’ humanity is what needed to be anointed.  As God, Jesus needed no anointing.

Power is not an addition to The Holy Spirit; it is an emphasis of The Holy Spirit.

Jesus spoke in Matthew chapter 6:

33 But seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.

His righteousness is not separate from the Kingdom of God but is an emphasis of the Kingdom.

Paul provided us with additional clarification as he wrote by The Holy Spirit in Romans chapter 14:

17 for the Kingdom of God is not eating and drinking (the natural realm), but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.

18 For he who serves Christ in these things is acceptable to God and approved by men.

Jesus never stopped being the Son of GOD but took on humanity to show us that we too could bring forth the Kingdom of GOD on earthEntirely GOD became entirely man.  Jesus fully accepted His humanity because His Love for us required a perfect Blood sacrifice.

This is a key point that we must embrace in order to move on to full maturity.  At what level of maturity are you satisfied with?

Jesus established His expectation of those who are willing to fully submit to The Holy Spirit in their daily walk. 

Jesus spoke in John chapter 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.

If Jesus did His miracles as God, we are all impressed but then we are just spectators.  When we realize that He did His miracles as a man yielded to GOD, then we should no longer be satisfied to stay where we are at.  With this revelation, we are meant to pursue walking in the Example given to us as we pursue the path toward maturity in Christ.  If it were not possible, then Jesus would not expect us to do greater works than Him. 

His example summons me, it provokes me to move toward walking in greater works.  This is not the time to move toward passivity.

While riding in the car recently, my wife had an open vision.  She saw an open door in the sky and in the opening was a deeper blue than the physical sky around the door.  Open Heaven is upon us.

Kids In Need Update

February 5th, 2025

Yesterday, Servias paid off the breakfast/lunch cafeteria past due debt of 98 elementary students. This elementary has the most kids in need of any other school in the area. We are feeding the hungry so they can focus on learning.

Thank you for your contributions!
