The Holy Fire In Action

May 25th, 2022

The Holy Fire will expose all unrighteousness for all men to behold.  This exposure will cause many believers to repent of their lukewarmness as they see the lies they have allowed to persist around them.

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Romans chapter 1:

18   For God in heaven unveils his holy anger breaking forth against every form of sin, both toward ungodliness that lives in hearts and evil actions. For the wickedness of humanity deliberately smothers the Truth and keeps people from acknowledging the Truth about God. 19   In reality, the Truth of God is known instinctively, for God has embedded this knowledge inside every human heart. 

20   Opposition to Truth cannot be excused on the basis of ignorance, because from the creation of the world, the invisible qualities of God’s nature have been made visible, such as His Eternal power and transcendence. He has made his wonderful attributes easily perceived, for seeing the visible makes us understand the invisible.  So then, this leaves everyone without excuse.

There is no such thing as plausible deniability.  It is actually an excuse to claim ignorance when you are well aware of man’s intent.  Ignorance is no excuse as is made clear in this passage.  We do our children a disservice when we fail to bring God’s easily perceived attributes to their attention.  The sun, moon, planets, and stars all declare HIS Glory!

21Throughout human history the fingerprints of God were upon them, yet they refused to honor Him as God or even be thankful for His kindness. Instead, they entertained corrupt and foolish thoughts about what God was like.  This left them with nothing but misguided hearts, steeped in moral darkness. 22Although claiming to be wise, they were in fact shallow fools.  23For only a fool would trade the unfading splendor of the immortal God to worship the fading image of other humans, idols made to look like people, animals, birds, and even creeping reptiles!

When you glorify humans, idols, animals, birds, etc. (the temporary), you effectively reduce the Glory that FATHER deserves in your life.  You have esteemed HIM less and esteemed the created more.  Each of us must ask what is being held in high esteem in our hearts.  It is crucial to repent of this now.

24This is why God lifted off His restraining hand and let them have full expression of their sinful and shameful desires. They were given over to moral depravity, dishonoring their bodies by sexual perversion among themselves—25all because they traded the Truth of God for a lie.  They worshiped and served the things God made rather than the God Who made all things—glory and praises to Him forever and ever! Amen!

Why would anyone trade a Truth for a lie unless they are not in their right mind?  Jesus exposed the lies and we are called to do the same.  Can we afford to do otherwise?  If judgment is coming soon, it is critical to spread the Good News and not be silent any longer.

26-27   For this reason God gave them over to their own disgraceful and vile passions.  Enflamed with lust for one another, men and women ignored the natural order and exchanged normal sexual relations for homosexuality. Women engaged in lesbian conduct, and men committed shameful acts with men, receiving in themselves the due penalty for their deviation. 

28And because they thought it was worthless to embrace the true knowledge of God, God gave them over to a worthless mind-set, to break all rules of proper conduct. 

29Their sinful lives became full of every kind of evil, wicked schemes, greed, and cruelty. Their hearts overflowed with jealous cravings, and with conflict and strife, which drove them into hateful arguments and murder. They are deceitful liars full of hostility. They are gossips 30who love to spread malicious slander. With inflated egos they hurl hateful insults at God, yet they are nothing more than arrogant boasters. They are rebels against their parents and totally immoral. 

31They are senseless, faithless, ruthless, heartless, and completely merciless.  32Although they are fully aware of God’s laws and proper order, and knowing that those who do all of these things deserve to die, yet they still go headlong into darkness, encouraging others to do the same and applauding them when they do!

The Holy Spirit has totally exposed the mindsets of the disgraceful and vile.  Those who have pursued such perversities mentioned above are actively attempting to indoctrinate our kids with their perversities.  We must stand up and no longer be passive in these areas.  Is your local library participating in this infiltration?

Have you ever noticed how Christians are about the only ones that can be targeted concerning their expressed views of the unrighteous?  The ungodly call it hate when a believer simply quotes Scripture similar to the above verses yet they can get away with their parades, attempts to sway kids, attempting to change the definitions of male and female on bathroom signs, birth certificates, etc.  Who hates who?  We are seeing the battle lines drawn now and the Remnant will not tolerate such sin to be left unchecked.  Now is the time to expose the lies promoted by the ungodly and it can only be done by being totally led by The Holy Spirit.  He will pick our battles so we need not take any action apart from His specific direction.  Jesus is our best Example.

His Dazzling Presence!

May 24th, 2022

How will Holy Fire manifest Itself in the current environment?

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in 2nd Thessalonians chapter 2:

3   Don’t let anyone deceive you in any way. Before that day comes the rebellion must occur and the “outlaw”—the destructive son—will be revealed in his true light. 4    He is the opposing counterpart who exalts himself over everything that is called “God” or is worshiped and who sits enthroned in God’s temple and makes himself out to be a god. 5   Don’t you remember that when I was with you I went over all these things? 6   Now you are aware of the ruling power so that he may be fully revealed when his time comes. 7   For the mystery of lawlessness is already active, but the one who prevails will do so until he is separated from out of the midst. 8   Then the “outlaw” will be openly revealed, and the Lord will overthrow him by the breath of His Mouth and bring him to an end by the dazzling manifestation of His Presence.

As we magnify The Lord in us and fully walk in His Image, we will bring forth His dazzling Presence in the midst of the enemy.  His Presence will be Holy Fire and burn away the deceptions surrounding the lawless ones who have hidden in plain sight.  This will enable us to see beyond the deceptions listed below:

9   The presence of the “outlaw” is apparent by the activity of Satan, who uses all kinds of counterfeit miracles, signs, spurious wonders, 10   and every form of evil deception in order to deceive those who are perishing because they rejected the Love of the Truth that would lead them to being saved.

When a person rejects the Love of the Truth, he or she moves to a reprobate mind which ensures judgment on their lives.  The LGBTQRSTUV community is the epitome of embracing a reprobate mind.  (Romans 1:26-32)

11   Because of this, God sends them a powerful delusion that leads them to believe what is false. 12   So then all who found their pleasure in unrighteousness and did not believe the Truth will be judged.

13   We always have to thank God for you, brothers and sisters, for you are dearly Loved by the Lord. He proved it by choosing you from the beginning for salvation through the Spirit, who set you apart for Holiness, and through your belief in the Truth. 14   To this end HE handpicked you for salvation through the Gospel so that you would have the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.

It is vital that we dwell on the above two verses!  You and I were handpicked for both salvation and to walk in the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.  Embrace this Truth.

15 So then, dear family, stand firm with a masterful grip of the teachings we gave you, either by word of mouth or by our letter. 16   Now may the Lord Jesus Christ and our Father God, who Loved us and in His wonderful grace gave us eternal comfort and a beautiful hope that cannot fail, 17   encourage your hearts and inspire you with strength to always do and speak what is good and beautiful in His Eyes.

Yes, there is a dramatic increase in the deceptions by the god of this world.  FATHER is not surprised for HE specifically selected you and me to come into full maturity and confront these deceptions with Holy Fire brought on by the dazzling Glory of Our Lord Jesus Christ.

Is The Holy Fire Coming Soon?

May 23rd, 2022

Throughout history, the Remnant of each generation has held back the antichrist. However, at some point, FATHER’S judgment arrives. It happened in Noah’s generation, and the world was destroyed by water. This time, it will be destroyed by Holy Fire.

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

1   Beloved friends, this is now the second letter I have written to you in which I’ve attempted to stir you up and awaken you to a proper mindset.

2   So never forget both the prophecies spoken by the holy prophets of old and the teaching of our Lord and Savior spoken by your apostles.

You and I need to stay stirred up with the proper mindset for the current society reflects what is spoken of in this chapter:

3   Above all, you must understand that in the last days mockers will multiply, chasing after their evil desires.

4   They will say, “So what about this promise of his coming? Our ancestors are dead and buried, yet everything is still the same as it was since from the beginning of time until now.”

5   But they conveniently overlook that from the beginning, the heavens and earth were created by God’s word. He spoke and the dry ground separated from the waters.

6   Then long afterward He destroyed the world with a tremendous flood by those very waters.

7   And now, by the same powerful Word, the heavens and the earth are reserved for fire, being kept for judgment day, when all the ungodly will perish.

I am not predicting the day or the hour but I am seeing signs of this coming. You and I were selected by FATHER for such a time as this so let us come into full maturity as Sons of GOD and spread the Good News as quickly and effectively as possible.

8   So, dear friends, don’t let this one thing escape your notice: a single day counts like a thousand years to the Lord Yahweh, and a thousand years counts as one day. 9   This means that, contrary to man’s perspective, the Lord is not late with His promise to return, as some measure lateness. But rather, his “delay” simply reveals His loving patience toward you, because he does not want any to perish but all to come to repentance.

FATHER’S Loving patience has held back the Holy Fire to this point. We must not assume anything but remain fervent as we fulfill our individual callings.

10   The day of the Lord will come and take everyone by surprise— as unexpected as a home invasion. The atmosphere will be set on fire and vanish with a horrific roar, and the heavenly bodies will melt away as in a tremendous blaze. The earth and every activity of man will be laid bare.

11    Since all these things are on the verge of being dismantled, don’t you see how vital it is to live a Holy life? We must be consumed with Godliness 12 while we anticipate and help to speed up the coming of the day of God, when the atmosphere will be set on fire and the heavenly bodies consumed in a blaze.

Peter is teaching us that the church has the ability to speed up (and, by implication, slow down) the coming of the day of God. The closer we get to Christ, the closer will be his coming. “The day of God” is an equivalent phrase to the “day of the Lord.”

13   But as we wait, we trust in God’s royal proclamation to be fulfilled. There are coming heavens new in quality, and an earth new in quality, where righteousness will be fully at home.

If the Holy Fire were to consume me today, how much of what I have would be burned up as wood, hay, stubble, dross, etc.? How about you?

What are your priorities today and do they align with that of Our Lord Jesus Christ?

It is time to rid ourselves of the “clutter” and light a match to it! Do any of us really need our “stuff” anymore? How many closets full of clothes could be given to those in need? How much is being spent on entertainment while the poor go hungry? The answers to those questions are above my pay grade but The Holy Spirit will guide each of us in removing anything that can be and should be burned up by Holy Fire.

The Holy Fire is coming. Will you be ready?

Walking In Divine Health: Part 5

May 22nd, 2022

We are in a battle in the health arena. This is why it is vital for us to pursue Divine Health as a top priority. The enemy would like to eradicate the earth of those who are unwilling to be enslaved. Is this any different when the Egyptians tried to keep Moses from surviving? Is this any different when Jesus was born to ultimately minister to us? FATHER will not allow HIS Remnant to be wiped out by the current attempts of the enemy. This is why The Holy Spirit is speaking to us in the area of Divine Health.

The following interview provides a backdrop for what is going on globally:

Walking In Divine Health: Part 4

May 21st, 2022

 FATHER expresses Our Covenant in many ways.  His Word was manifested in the flesh by Jesus and His apostles were witnesses resulting in the New Testament Gospels and Epistles.  His Word was recorded by those who were moved by HIS SPIRIT.  His Word is spoken constantly by The Holy Spirit.  However, it is up to us to access HIS Word in an active fashion.  You and I are accountable to do our part- WE MUST SPEAK HIS WORD in faith!

It is written by The Holy Spirit in Palm chapter 91:

This I declare about the LORD: He alone is my refuge, my place of safety; He is my God, and I trust Him.

Our words are portals into the spirit realm whether we realize it or not.  FATHER knows it since HE designed it that way.  Jesus knew and walked in this Truth during His 3 ½ year ministry. Finally, the devil and his minions know the power of the tongue and they don’t want you to ever speak faith-filled Words against them.

If you mix faith-filled words with those of unbelief, you have diluted the power of your words and eliminated their effectiveness in your life.  You can’t have it both ways!  It is better to keep your mouth shut than to profess anything contrary to The Word.  We need to get to the place where we truly believe all our words without compromise.  Coarse jesting is an enemy to faith-filled words.

Are we going to live by revelation or observation?

When we experience the Supernatural, we become witnesses in the physical realm of the reality of the spirit realm.  This supersedes observation and related experiences of this lower realm.

As a believer, you will never be any more Holy than you already are for The Blood of Jesus brought you into full holiness… as well as righteousness.  His gift of salvation cannot be increased by any of your works.  His Blood gave us position with FATHER as an unearned gift.  When we decide to live according to revelation of His Word, we are no longer slaves to observation and we will move away from being subjected to the world’s impact on our bodies.  We will no longer accept any aspect of disease or sickness as our norm.  Headaches are not to be part of our norm.  Asthma, colds, viruses, or cancers are not meant to be found among us.

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in 2nd Corinthians chapter 3:

18  We can all draw close to Him with the veil removed from our faces. And with no veil we all become like mirrors who brightly reflect the glory of the Lord Jesus. We are being transfigured into His Very Image as we move from one brighter level of glory to another. And this glorious transfiguration comes from the Lord, Who is the Spirit.

Did Jesus walk the earth in sickness?  Did He contract any of the diseases He was exposed to during His healing ministry?  As we immerse ourselves in The Word and praying in The Holy Spirit, we are being transformed by the renewing of our minds.  The result is that we are being transfigured into His Very Image.

Are you willing to embrace this Truth?  I am.  Furthermore, no weapon formed against us will prosper… that includes those created by man.

Paul also wrote by The Holy Spirit in Romans chapter 1:

17This Gospel unveils a continual revelation of God’s righteousness—a perfect righteousness given to us when we believe. And it moves us from receiving life through faith, to the power of living by faith.  This is what the Scripture means when it says:

“We are right with God through life-giving faith!”

We need to move on from being receivers of faith to living by faith.  When we do, we will move toward living in supernatural health.

Walking In Divine Health: Part 3

May 20th, 2022

 FATHER expresses Our Covenant in many ways.  His Word was manifested in the flesh by Jesus and His apostles were witnesses resulting in the New Testament Gospels and Epistles.  His Word was recorded by those who were moved by HIS SPIRIT.  His Word is spoken constantly by The Holy Spirit.  However, it is up to us to access HIS Word in an active fashion.  You and I are accountable to do our part.

It is written by The Holy Spirit in Palm chapter 91:

1When you abide under the shadow of Shaddai,

you are hidden in the strength of God Most High.

We are to abide under HIS shadow.  HE is not moving but instead HE is constant and steadfast in HIS position.  Knock, and the door shall be opened.

2 (I will say) He’s the hope that holds me and the stronghold to shelter me,

the only God for me, and my great confidence.

3He will rescue you from every hidden trap of the enemy,

and He will protect you from false accusation

and any deadly curse.

By abiding under HIS shadow, we are protected from ANY deadly curse and EVERY hidden trap of the enemy!

4His massive Arms are wrapped around you, protecting you.

You can run under His covering of majesty and hide.

His Arms of faithfulness are a shield keeping you from harm.

5You will never worry about an attack of demonic forces at night

nor have to fear a spirit of darkness coming against you.

6Don’t fear a thing!

Whether by night or by day, demonic danger will not trouble you,

nor will the powers of evil be launched against you.

7Even in a time of disaster, with thousands and thousands being killed,

you will remain unscathed and unharmed.

8You will be a spectator as the wicked perish in judgment,

for they will be paid back for what they have done!

In times past, I have watched the wicked perish in judgment.  Great judgment is coming to many nations who have turned their back on THE GOD OF HEAVEN AND EARTH so don’t be surprised what you will see in future days, weeks, and months.  Abide under the Shadow and simply watch.

9-10When we live our lives within the shadow of God Most High,

our secret hiding place, we will always be shielded from harm.

How then could evil prevail against us or disease infect us?

This includes disease!

11God sends angels with special orders to protect you wherever you go,

defending you from all harm.

12If you walk into a trap, they’ll be there for you

and keep you from stumbling.

13You’ll even walk unharmed among the fiercest powers of darkness,

trampling every one of them beneath your feet!

Our angels do only the Will of FATHER.  They will not respond to your emotional pleas apart from prayers which align with FATHER’S Will.  Your angels are not created as decision makers.

14For here is what the Lord has spoken to me:

“Because you Loved Me, delighted in Me, and have been loyal to My Name,

I will greatly protect you.

As I have said countless times, it is all about Love!  It is our responsibility to seek out and walk in the revelation of Agape Love.  It should be first and foremost in our daily walk!  As a result, FATHER responds:

15I will answer your cry for help every time you pray,

and you will feel My Presence

in your time of trouble.

I will deliver you and bring you honor.

16I will satisfy you with a full life and with all that I do for you.

For you will enjoy the fullness of My salvation!”

To be satisfied with a full life includes walking in supernatural, Divine health and fulfilling our days without constantly dealing with sickness or disease.  As I have said before, I am not condemning you if you are not there yet.  Each one of us is moving at our own unique pace in achieving Spiritual maturity.  Let us not be critical of those who are behind as we don’t want to be condemned by those who are in front.  We can all finish the race and it is not important who comes in first or last.  The finish line is what we all seek.

Walking In Divine Health: Part 2

May 19th, 2022

Did Our Elder Brother Jesus walk in supernatural health? Yes.  Can we?  Yes.  Should we?  Once again yes!  Don’t reject this revelation for it truly is attainable or FATHER would not have included it in Our Covenant.

I am not condemning anyone who is sick… I have dealt with my share of sickness.  I simply want to walk in Divine health and want you to as well.  We can do this! 

A group of doctors thought I was going to die from a life-threatening sickness in 2017 yet FATHER spoke to me and said “You will live and not die, do exactly what the doctor says.”  I did at the time and here I am five years later.  The doctor’s job was simply to sustain me while I built back my faith in the area of healing.  I had become void of The Word in that area once again.  It happened in 1984 and then happened again in 2017. (What was I thinking?  I let my guard down.)  I reestablished my focus on healing and “little by little” I returned to health.  It is well-documented and my doctor as now viewed me as his best patient.  It has been a testimony to him and his nurses.

I am accountable for my mindset.  I am accountable for what Word is fresh and active in my life.  Was this sickness HIS perfect Will?  No.  However, I submitted to HIS Word and overcame.  Am I unique?  No.  HIS Word for healing are for those who seek HIM.  Once HE spoke those Words, I was at complete peace and there was absolutely no fear.  Why do I share this?  You need to understand that I don’t have some special, unique anointing that you cannot access yourself.  These writings are meant to instruct and encourage you toward full maturity as Sons and Daughters.  These writing have Agape Love as their foundation.  HE is our healer and I am simply the messenger.

Isaiah wrote by The Holy Spirit in chapter 54:

9 “Just as I swore in the time of Noah

that I would never again let a flood cover the earth,

so now I swear

that I will never again be angry and punish you.

10 For the mountains may move

and the hills disappear,

but even then My faithful love for you will remain.

My covenant of blessing will never be broken,”

says the LORD, who has mercy on you.

And:

17 But in that coming day

no weapon turned against you will succeed.

You will silence every voice

raised up to accuse you.

These benefits are enjoyed by the servants of the LORD;

their vindication will come from me.

I, the LORD, have spoken!

Sickness and disease are weapons formed against us, no matter what their origin is. 

In Acts chapter 10 it is recorded by The Holy Spirit:

38“Jesus of Nazareth was anointed by God with the Holy Spirit and with great power. He did wonderful things for others and divinely healed all who were under the tyranny of the devil,  for God had anointed Him. 39We apostles were eyewitnesses to all the miracles that he performed throughout the land of Israel.

If FATHER wanted you sick, HE would not have given Jesus a healing ministry!  Jesus only did the Divine Will and Intent of FATHER.  Does an earthly father or mother want their children to suffer with sickness and disease?  Neither does Our Heavenly Father who infinitely Loves us more!

Walking In Divine Health

May 18th, 2022

Did Our Elder Brother Jesus walk in supernatural health? Yes.  Can we?  Yes.  Should we?  Once again yes!

It is written by The Holy Spirit in Exodus chapter 23:

25 “So you shall serve the LORD your God, and He will bless your bread and your water. And I will take sickness away from the midst of you. 26 No one shall suffer miscarriage or be barren in your land; I will fulfill the number of your days.

How much better and complete is the New Covenant?  Have you truly accepted the Truth that we are made in His Image thus we should ultimately walk in the same manner?  There are multiple aspects to Spiritual maturity and this is a vital one.  I personally see no need in dying early and going to Heaven before FATHER’S Divine Intent is accomplished.  HE intends for us to inherit the land here and now:

27 “I will send My fear before you, I will cause confusion among all the people to whom you come, and will make all your enemies turn their backs to you. 28 And I will send hornets before you, which shall drive out the Hivite, the Canaanite, and the Hittite from before you. 29 I will not drive them out from before you in one year, lest the land become desolate and the beasts of the field become too numerous for you. 30 Little by little I will drive them out from before you, until you have increased, and you inherit the land. 31 And I will set your bounds from the Red Sea to the sea, Philistia, and from the desert to the River.[fn] For I will deliver the inhabitants of the land into your hand, and you shall drive them out before you. 32 You shall make no covenant with them, nor with their gods. 33 They shall not dwell in your land, lest they make you sin against Me. For if you serve their gods, it will surely be a snare to you.”

The term “little by little” means that there is a time factor before taking all the land.  There is also a time factor in moving from Divine healing to walking in Supernatural health?  Have I achieved it?  No, not yet.  I am moving in that direction and so should you.  What better testimony to the world than to start walking in Divine health, especially considering past diseases and sickness many of us went through or are currently dealing with.

The doctors are not the solution to our healing, FATHER is.  Am I against doctors?  Absolutely not!  Their job is to sustain us until we receive and walk in Divine healing and ultimately health.  The Holy Spirit can and will direct you to the right doctor.

What are you willing to tolerate?  If you are willing to tolerate sickness and disease, then you have not yet changed your mindset to FATHER’S Divine Intent for your life.  My writings are intended to change your mindset and become fully aligned with the Mindset of FATHER.  Jesus expressed the mindset of FATHER in His earthly ministry by His Words and actions.  Today, The Holy Spirit solely expresses HIS Mindset in every Word spoken to you and me by THE SPIRIT.  Healing and health are not excluded in any way.  There is no sickness in Heaven!

Jesus died for ALL our sins and ALL our sicknesses and diseases too.  Coronavirus was not excluded no matter what version they come up with next.

Isaiah wrote by The Holy Spirit in chapter 54 after the blessed work of Jesus was revealed in chapter 53:

9 “Just as I swore in the time of Noah

that I would never again let a flood cover the earth,

so now I swear

that I will never again be angry and punish you.

10 For the mountains may move

and the hills disappear,

but even then My faithful love for you will remain.

My covenant of blessing will never be broken,”

says the LORD, who has mercy on you.

11 “O storm-battered city,

troubled and desolate!

I will rebuild you with precious jewels

and make your foundations from lapis lazuli (sapphires).

12 I will make your towers of sparkling rubies,

your gates of shining gems,

and your walls of precious stones.

13 I will teach all your children,

and they will enjoy great peace.

14 You will be secure under a government that is just and fair.

Your enemies will stay far away.

You will live in peace,

and terror will not come near.

Isn’t time for a government which is both just and fair?  In order for that occur, the lies and nefarious intent must be exposed and I expect this to occur soon!

15 If any nation comes to fight you,

it is not because I sent them.

Whoever attacks you will go down in defeat.

16 “I have created the blacksmith

who fans the coals beneath the forge

and makes the weapons of destruction.

And I have created the armies that destroy.

17 But in that coming day

no weapon turned against you will succeed.

You will silence every voice

raised up to accuse you.

These benefits are enjoyed by the servants of the LORD;

their vindication will come from me.

I, the LORD, have spoken!

I find it interesting that one of the first targets of Putin were the 19 bio-weapons labs in Ukraine.  It has been reported that the U.S. funded most if not all of them.  Would you want such a lab adjacent to your country?  Just sayin’.

FATHER gave my wife the Isaiah 54:17 passage when C-19 was first reported.  We have been proclaiming this Promise for our family… with success.  Yes, I contracted C-19 and ran a temperature for 2 hours and that was it.  I look forward to such diseases dying upon touching my body for that is walking in Divine health.  It worked for John G. Lake in the early 1900’s.  He had doctors confirm it via a microscope.  The viruses instantly died when he touched the slide.  You and I should expect nothing less.

Portals Of GOD

May 17th, 2022

FATHER’S grace is infinite because it arises out of FATHER’S infinite Love.  It can be describe as hyper-superabundant grace.  There is more grace than your past sins, my past sins, and all the sins of the entire world throughout history.

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Romans chapter 5:

6For when the time was right, the Anointed One came and died to demonstrate His Love for sinners who were entirely helpless, weak, and powerless to save themselves.

7Now, would anyone dare to die for the sake of a wicked person?  We can all understand if someone was willing to die for a truly noble person. 8 But Christ proved God’s passionate Love for us by dying in our place while we were still lost and ungodly!

The Cornerstone of our lives is based on Jesus Christ Who fully manifested FATHER’S unconditional Love for you and me.  We must never allow ourselves to become lukewarm in expressing this Truth.

9And there is still much more to say of His unfailing Love for us! For through the Blood of Jesus we have heard the powerful declaration, “You are now righteous in My Sight.” And because of the sacrifice of Jesus, you will never experience the wrath of God. 10 So if while we were still enemies, God fully reconciled us to Himself through the death of his Son, then something greater than friendship is ours. Now that we are at peace with God, and because we share in His resurrection life, how much more we will be rescued from sin’s dominion!

11And even more than that, we overflow with triumphant joy in our new relationship of living reconciled to God—all because of Jesus Christ!

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

7The extraordinary level of the revelations I’ve received is no reason for anyone to exalt me.  For this is why a thorn in my flesh was given to me, the Adversary’s messenger sent to harass me, keeping me from becoming arrogant. 8Three times I pleaded with the Lord to relieve me of this. 9But He answered me, “My grace is always more than enough for you,  and My power finds its full expression through your weakness.” So I will celebrate my weaknesses, for when I’m weak I sense more deeply the mighty power of Christ living in me.  10So 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.

Note: Paul did not have a demon, though it was possible that a demon followed him to harass and hinder. This is more likely a metaphor of the harassment he endured, the constant misunderstanding and persecution that came to him because of his faith in Jesus. There is no indication that this “thorn” was a sickness. In Paul’s list of hardships (2 Cor. 11:23-27) he does not mention a sickness or disease.

The world chides the weak yet Paul was not embarrassed to admit his weaknesses.  Why?  He admits that we ALL are weak in comparison to Our Lord Jesus Christ and when we are weak, we become portals for God’s power.
