Jesus trusts us because we are alive at this point in time to do His bidding at the “end of an age” as it relates to the world’s systems and what our focus should be.

Jesus spoke in Acts chapter 1:

7 Jesus answered, “The Father is the One Who sets the fixed dates and the times of their fulfillment. You are not permitted to know the timing of all that He has prepared by His own authority.

We need to quit trying to figure out what the date or time of fulfillment is to come.  Every Holy Day is targeted and then nothing happens.  Some will try to assign some event in order to support their religious thought.  I have seen this deception for decades.  None of those false prophets were stoned or killed however.  People simply moved to the next date of potential.

8 But I promise you this—the Holy Spirit will come upon you, and you will be seized with power. You will be My messengers to Jerusalem, throughout Judea, the distant provinces—even to the remotest places on earth!”

We are to finish His plan with joy and His Glory!

Do not be discouraged by what the media is feeding you.  Quit listening to them for they are instruments of the god of this world.  Some know it and some don’t… they are clueless that they are on the wrong side of Jesus!  If you are not working with Jesus then you are working against Him.  That is the reality.

Over the years, The Holy Spirit has instructed me to go various places, do various things, and say various Words according to His leading.  This has been to take the land at some time in the future.  FATHER is not forgetful and those Words are still in place and will come to pass.  Some of you have done the same so don’t be discouraged with what is currently happening.  The adversary has no clue of what is planned by FATHER for he has no access to what has been written for us to manifest.  The adversary is flying blind in a level 5 thunderstorm.

In 1999, I flew into Pontiac Michigan in a level 3 thunderstorm in a single-engine Cessna 210 turbo airplane sitting in the right seat.  My friend who is an instrument-rated pilot was (and still is) fearless and we were not turning back.  My job was to try to locate the runway amidst the heavy rain and being thrown all over the night sky by the substantial wind gusts.  It was around 10 PM and our weather radar was lit up in bright green.  His classic line was “Bob, if we don’t find that runway, we’re toast!”  I sat there in peace and told FATHER that if this is my time to pass away, so be it!  At the last possible minute, I saw the airport and we landed, despite the turbulence pushing us sideways.  My book did not have me dying in 1999 and I am still thankful this very day to have landed safely.  Each of you may have had your own harrowing experiences but FATHER has seen you through them and I too am thankful for you!  The point of sharing this story is to show that the adversary cannot take us out of the picture for he has no power to do so.

FATHER’S timing is perfect!

What is meant to be revealed to us, we need to know.  What has been given to us, we need to know.  The Holy Spirit revealed to us the existence of our books in Heaven in Psalm 139:

16 You saw who You created me to be before I became me!

    Before I’d ever seen the light of day,

    the number of days You planned for me

    were already recorded in Your book.

Don’t you think we ought to seek out the details in our individual books?  Why else would The Holy Spirit alert us of their existence?  What you don’t know may hurt you.  I urge you to seek out what is in your book.  This assures you of being on the right side with Jesus!

In Acts chapter 1, Luke recorded by The Holy Spirit:

2 Just before He ascended into Heaven, Jesus left instructions through the Holy Spirit for the apostles He had chosen. 3 After the sufferings of His cross, Jesus appeared alive many times to these same apostles over a forty-day period, proving to them with many convincing signs that He had been resurrected. During these encounters, he taught them the Truths of God’s Kingdom.

If Jesus’ priority during His last forty days on earth was to focus on teaching the Truths of God’s Kingdom, shouldn’t that be ours as well?

Jesus provided perspective and instruction concerning the “end of an age” as it has to do the world’s systems.

Jesus spoke in Matthew chapter 24:

3 Later, when they arrived at the Mount of Olives, his disciples came privately to where He was sitting and said, “Tell us, when will these things happen? And what sign should we expect to signal Your coming and the completion of this age?”

4 Jesus answered, “At that time deception will run rampant. So beware that you are not fooled! 5 For many will appear on the scene claiming my authority or saying about themselves, ‘I am the Anointed One,’ and they will lead many astray.

6 “You will hear of wars and revolutions on every side, with more rumors of wars to come. Don’t panic or give in to your fears, for the breaking apart of the world’s systems is destined to happen. But it won’t yet be the end; it will still be unfolding.

7 “Nations will go to war against nations and kingdoms against kingdoms. And there will be terrible earthquakes, horrible epidemics, and famines in place after place. 8 This is how the birth pains of the new age will begin!”

Jesus prophesied of horrible epidemics at the end of an age so we should not be surprised or fearful about the current epidemic.  The Holy Spirit instructed my wife and me against getting the jab.  This instruction was specific to us so do not take this as being some doctrine.  We have many loved ones who did receive the jab and we have no issue with their decision.  FATHER gave my wife the Word to speak in prayer on their behalf “No weapon formed against me will prosper.”

What is the solution to the horrible epidemic?  It is Spiritual in nature and does not originate in the physical.

What is the solution to the breaking apart of the world’s systems?  It is Spiritual in nature and not derived by the intelligence of economic experts?  After all, they predicted five of the last three recessions. (Get the joke?)

What should you and I do in preparation for what lies ahead?  Prepare spiritually and plant Spiritual seed at every opportunity.  This is one major reason we continue to financially support the kids in need EVERY MONTH.  Did FATHER know this when HE had me set up Servias Ministries in 2006?  Absolutely!  There have been readers who have come and gone over the years but there is a remnant who continues to prepare with us side by side.  There are many such small groups throughout the earth.  We are just one group among the many.

Each of us has a destiny to fulfill which is written in our individual books (Psalm 139:16).  I must admit that I was not fully aware of the importance of my book back in 2006.  I simply followed The Holy Spirit’s direction since 1971 in the major aspects of my life.  Yes, I do wish I would have paid closer attention in the day to day walk but I was young and more driven than led.  FATHER was not moved by my soulishness thanks to HIS great grace and mercy.

What has delayed the end of the age?  It is due to the prayers of the elect.

When will the end occur?  Only FATHER knows, as Jesus specifically indicated more than once.  In the meantime, we have been given signs in order to become fully prepared.

36 “Concerning that day and exact hour, no one knows when it will arrive, not even the angels of Heaven—only the Father knows. 37 For it will be like it was in the days of Noah when the Son of Man appears. 38 Before the flood, people lived their lives eating, drinking, marrying, and having children. 39 They didn’t realize the end was near until Noah entered the ark, and then suddenly, the flood came and took them all away in judgment. It will happen the same way when the Son of Man appears. 40 At that time, two men will be working on the farm; one will be taken away in judgment, the other left. 41 Two women will be grinding grain; one will be taken away in judgment, the other left. 42 This is why you must stay alert: because no one knows the day your Lord will come.

How long are we to stay alert?  The timeframe does not matter to me and hopefully you feel the same way.  Let each of us focus on becoming fully mature IN CHRIST and being a blessing in areas we can impact.  The end of one age brings forth an age meant for FATHER’S Kingdom to be established on earth as it is in Heaven.

If The Holy Spirit wakes you up early, don’t complain but rejoice.  I sleep solid and wake up alert thus I look forward to what FATHER wants me to focus on that day.  It is always appropriate and timely.  Let no one get you off track and be assured, there will be those who try.  The adversary and his minions know their time is short so there is nothing they won’t attempt to deceive the Elect.

As a believer, your whole life flows from your spirit.

The Beloved Disciple wrote by The Holy Spirit in 1^st John chapter 4:

17 By living in God, Love has been brought to its full expression in us so that we may fearlessly face the day of judgment, because all that Jesus now is, so are we in this world.

As He is, so are we!  The Beloved Disciple John had the same revelation as Paul concerning what has already been given to us which resides in our spirit.  We are not pleading with FATHER to impart new power and authority as though HE has been holding back until we perform at some level.  HE has been waiting on us to come into the fullness of revelation concerning the gifts we have already been given.

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Ephesians chapter 2:

8 For by grace you have been saved by faith. Nothing you did could ever earn this salvation, for it was the Love gift from God that brought us to Christ! 9 So no one will ever be able to boast, for salvation is never a reward for good works or human striving.

Faith is a positive response to GOD’S grace.  Faith is not something you do to get GOD to respond to you.  Faith is your appropriation of what GOD has already provided by grace.

None of us can boast that we somehow earned salvation because we lived such an upright life.  Salvation was and is a gift from a Loving Heavenly Father who formed us in the womb.  Once we accepted our calling to be saved and HIS grace mixed with our positive response of faith in HIS Word, our gifts became accessible to us.

Once our gifts became accessible, the potential power and authority needed to be appropriated.  To appropriate means to take for one’s use thus making it operational in one’s life.  When we exercise faith and agree with FATHER’S Word concerning not only the existence of those spiritual gifts, but the ability to access them, they move from the spirit realm to the physical.  Faith expects to see a positive response.

What will hinder the process?  Unbelief.  If we don’t see an immediate response in the physical, we must not allow unbelief to enter in and hinder the appropriation.  Do I need to claim some Scripture 500 times as though FATHER will speed up the process?  No, you and I are the variables in this situation of manifestation. 

As I reread Ephesians and Colossians, I allow The Word to minister to me and dispel any unbelief trying to rise up.  My goal is to immerse myself in those verses which reveal the Truth that those gifts are already in me awaiting activation.  Dwelling on The Word day and night shortens the activation time by removing any past teachings that promoted conditional Love and a performance-based relationship with Our Heavenly Father, Jesus, and The Holy Spirit.

I am the only one who can stop or hinder the flow of what has already been deposited in me waiting to be activated.  My desire is to release the flow from the spirit realm to the physical and be an advertisement for Christ.  Jesus told us to expect to do greater things and this is exactly what I expect to release in me.  I didn’t place these gifts in me, FATHER did with the expectation of being released.

When we devote ourselves to the gifts inside each of us, we will cooperate with FATHER in bringing forth The Kingdom.

Peter wrote by The Holy Spirit in 2^nd Peter chapter 1:

3 Everything we could ever need for life and Godliness has already been deposited in us by His Divine power. For all this was lavished upon us through the rich experience of knowing Him Who has called us by name and invited us to come to Him through a glorious manifestation of His goodness

Deposited in us by FATHER’S Divine power, we have everything we need for life and Godliness.  It is vital that we embrace this Truth at this time in history for the stakes are extremely high for mankind.  The nefarious acts of men whose father is the devil want to eradicate the believers around the world through genetic modification of viruses.

This isn’t the first time the devil has used such means.  Before the flood, genetic modification was used in an attempt to move people away from being in GOD’S Image.  Once your genes have been modified, you are no longer in HIS Image.  Only Noah and his family were spared because their genetics were still “perfect”.  Genetically modified animals were not allowed on the ark but were buried in the sediment and eliminated.

Peter continues:

4 As a result of this, HE has given you magnificent promises that are beyond all price, so that through the power of these tremendous promises we can experience partnership with the Divine nature, by which you have escaped the corrupt desires that are of the world.

Partners cooperate with each other in achieving one goal- establishing The Kingdom on earth.  When we walk in our assignments given to us before the foundation of the world was established, as a result, we will walk in the fullness of HIS power and authority.  The stakes are high so let us not delay in our commitment to our individual callings.  FATHER has imparted faith in our spirits to walk in such power and authority but it needs to be developed into full maturity along with the other virtues:

5 So devote yourselves to lavishly supplementing your faith with goodness,

and to goodness add understanding,

6 and to understanding add the strength of self-control,

and to self-control add patient endurance,

and to patient endurance add Godliness,

7 and to Godliness add mercy toward your brothers and sisters,

and to mercy toward others add unending Love.

8 Since these virtues are already planted deep within, and you possess them in abundant supply, they will keep you from being inactive or fruitless in your pursuit of knowing Jesus Christ more intimately. 9 But if anyone lacks these things, he is blind, constantly closing his eyes to the mysteries of our faith, and forgetting his innocence—for his past sins have been washed away.

These virtues are planted deep within you and these teachings are meant to water these virtues until the abundance of their fruit come forth and are received by all those in need.  Let us not be fruitless in any virtue listed above.

Devote yourself to operating in a greater level of faith.

Devote yourself to goodness.

Devote yourself to understanding.

Devote yourself to the strength of self-control.

Devote yourself to patient endurance.

Devote yourself to Godliness.

Devote yourself to mercy.

Devote yourself to unending Love.

Those who don’t are blinded to the mysteries of our faith.  However, this mystery has been revealed to you and me.  Let us devote ourselves to walking in this magnificent revelation.

The point of us becoming mature Sons and Daughters is that we become effective in all areas of ministry as was (and is) Our Elder Brother Jesus Christ.

We do not have to talk Our Heavenly Father into doing anything for HE Loves us and has provided all we need in advance.  This is what a Loving Father does.

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Philemon chapter 1:

4 I thank my God, making mention of you always in my prayers, 5 hearing of your love and faith which you have toward the Lord Jesus and toward all the saints, 6 that the sharing of your faith may become effective by the acknowledgment of every good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus.

The goal of The Holy Spirit is to reveal what has been deposited in us already.  By reading The Word and not assuming what past teachings have promoted, we should move quickly to the point of acknowledging what is already in us awaiting our access.

I will continue to press forward on this point as we all move to a higher level of revelation and appropriation of what has been deposited in us.

Paul received this revelation and wrote by The Holy Spirit in Ephesians chapter 1:

3 Every Spiritual blessing in the Heavenly realm has already been lavished upon us as a Love gift from our wonderful Heavenly Father, the Father of our Lord Jesus—all because He sees us wrapped into Christ. This is why we celebrate Him with all our hearts!

4 And in Love He chose us before He laid the foundation of the universe! Because of His great Love, He ordained us, so that we would be seen as Holy in His Eyes with an unstained innocence.

The above passages must not only be acknowledged but they must be fully embraced by each Son and Daughter in order to reach full maturity.  I know it can be a challenge to remove past religious teachings where we were told to plead our case in order to get FATHER to act on our behalf.  It simply isn’t necessary.

These teachings were based on conditional Love rather than Agape Love.  Those teachers had yet to receive the revelation of Agape Love thus when they studied The Word, they only taught from the perspective of conditional Love. 

Paul, on the other hand, knew firsthand what Agape Love was all about.  This is why he was able to write the Love chapter in 1^st Corinthians chapter 13.  He knew what it meant to walk in unstained innocence after he had spent several years as an adversary to Jesus Christ.  His encounter with Jesus changed everything.  Let us embrace his writings so that we can truly walk in the power and authority deposited in each of us.  Agape Love is the key!

 Our unbelief falls into three categories.

The first category is simply ignorance.  This person does not know The Word concerning unbelief.  Some churches promote ignorance by only recommending the teachings of the clergy.  If their teachings don’t deal with unbelief then the congregation will remain ignorant of revelation in that area.

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Romans chapter 10:

17 So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God.

Each of us is responsible to hear, read, study, and dwell on The Word of GOD.  If you don’t know the Truth, you will naturally fear since we live in a fallen world which promotes fear, uncertainty, and doubt.  Faith, then, is birthed in a heart that responds to God’s anointed utterance of the Anointed One.

Jesus spoke in John chapter 8:

31 Jesus said to those Jews who believed in Him, “When you continue to embrace all that I teach, you prove that you are My true followers. 32 For if you embrace the Truth, It will release true freedom into your lives.”

When we hear and embrace the Truth, we are set free from fear, uncertainty, and doubt.  This is true freedom no matter what is happening around us.

The second type of unbelief is where you have been taught the wrong thing.  I see this frequently where people have had wrong teaching concerning Our Heavenly Father’s unconditional Love for us.  Their entire relationship with HIM is based on conditional acts as though they can earn HIS Love and attention.  They often started out life by being rejected by a parent in some form.  In turn, they tried to earn love from the parent, often to no avail.

Teachers who do not have the revelation of Agape Love will create a narrative which excludes this revelation so the student is being instructed in error.  We have to erase any and all erroneous teaching.  This is part of renewing the mind where we must correct the error we received in the past.  Our foundation must be based on Truth from Heaven, not man’s interpretation of Truth based on their own experience and history.  This is simply another reason we need to seek The Holy Spirit to guide us into all Truth.

Many of us were led to believe that if we have done something wrong, GOD won’t answer our prayers.  This teaching attempted to negate the importance of Jesus’ Blood. 

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Romans chapter 8:

1 So now the case is closed. There remains no accusing voice of condemnation against those who are joined in life-union with Jesus, the Anointed One. 2 For the “law” of the Spirit of life flowing through the anointing of Jesus has liberated us from the “law” of sin and death. 3 For God achieved what the law was unable to accomplish, because the law was limited by the weakness of human nature.

Don’t try to reopen a case that has been totally removed from us.  Jesus won’t look for it since it no longer exists.  The case has been expunged (struck out; wiped out or destroyed; annihilated).

The third type of unbelief deals with what our senses are telling us when we have exercised faith in a situation.  If we don’t immediately see or hear the expected response, then we can allow unbelief to enter in.  This is what the disciples were experiencing in Matthew chapter 17 when the boy did not immediately respond to their words to cast out the demon.  Instead the demon challenged their level of maturity in the area of “belief”.  They failed that test and Jesus had to have a corrective interview with them concerning their unbelief.  Prayer and fasting was the answer, and still is.

Your senses will challenge your level of maturity in the area of unbelief.  Will you pass the test?  The fruit will be your guide.  Don’t let failure prevent you from pressing in and overcoming unbelief in all areas of your life.  These teachings are meant to encourage you to full maturity in all areas.  Have I been totally successful?  Absolutely not!  However I am tenacious enough to continue to press in so that I WILL PASS THE TEST.  I encourage you to do the same.

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Hebrews chapter 5:

14 But solid food is for the mature, whose spiritual senses perceive Heavenly matters. And they have been adequately trained by what they’ve experienced to emerge with understanding of the difference between what is truly excellent and what is evil and harmful.

If we are lacking in our training, we don’t give up, we train some more with the expectation of becoming fully mature Sons and Daughters.

Our faith in operation pleases GOD.  Our unbelief hinders our faith and results in our “wavering”.

James recorded by The Holy Spirit in chapter 1:

5 And if anyone longs to be wise, ask God for Wisdom and HE will give it! HE won’t see your lack of Wisdom as an opportunity to scold you over your failures but HE will overwhelm your failures with his generous grace.

6 Just make sure you ask empowered by confident faith without doubting (unbelief) that you will receive. For the ambivalent person believes one minute and doubts the next. Being undecided makes you become like the rough seas driven and tossed by the wind. You’re up one minute and tossed down the next. 7–8 When you are half-hearted and wavering it leaves you unstable. Can you really expect to receive anything from the Lord when you’re in that condition?

Mature Sons and Daughters will experience full stability to walk in their callings.  We are to ask for Wisdom when we sense we are lacking and Our Loving Heavenly Father will be quick to impart that request to us.  However, there are conditions to the impartation.  We must have no unbelief in our hearts. 

We have already been given The Measure of Faith and we should have appropriated that faith into operation.  However, we must also be transformed by the renewing of our mind.  We cannot expect Wisdom to be fully operational if unbelief is constantly challenging the Wisdom from above.  FATHER knows this and that is why we are told to deal with the unbelief.  HE does not promote “wavering” or double-mindedness and instability.  We need to walk with certainty, and be of good cheer, we can. 

We must become single-minded and we cannot be moved by what we see!

Most people do not deal with unbelief.  They will try to get people to pray for them while they are spending hundreds of dollars per month to pipe in cable and other media promoting unbelief and the world’s alternative to health, healing, and life.  Just consider all the commercials promoting pharmaceuticals as solutions for sickness, disease, and demonic activity. 

Why let people speak into your life with words contrary to The Word of GOD?  Their solution is meant to produce a perpetual revenue flow from you?  As for me, I would rather take that same money and minister life to kids in need and others whom FATHER directs us to give.  In thus U.S. alone, what would the cost of healthcare be if everyone were cured and no longer relying on pharmaceuticals to perpetuate their lives?

There were no Walgreen’s or CVS drug stores in The Desert.

Most people seek alternative means to resolving the issue at hand if they don’t see immediate results to prayer.  Shouldn’t we ask FATHER why the issue has not been resolved?  Do you think HE is reluctant to reveal the problem to us, HIS Loving Children?  HIS Wisdom and understanding will provide the solution to the lack of success. 

HE may instruct us to go to the doctor to be physically sustained until we fully address the spiritual hindrance.  The symptoms can be addressed which will allow us to focus on being transformed by the renewing of our minds.  As we are fully transformed and are no longer subject to the soul or body, our spirit will impart the solution to the problem.  Concerning healing, we will be cured and our symptoms will be gone thus no longer requiring the doctor’s intervention.  He will confirm our healing and hopefully rejoice with us.

The Blood of Jesus is sufficient to bring forth full healing of sickness and disease.  IT is sufficient to cast our all demons, no matter how powerful they are.  The issue lies with any unbelief resident and operational in our hearts.  We need to root out any and all unbelief and this is done by prayer and fasting.  Turn off the TV.  Use you cell phone for calls and messages… its original intent.  Quit playing games which are meant to “burn up time”.  Use that same time to cleanse your mind of the world’s influence. 

This is not the time to walk on eggshells.  If I have offended you then maybe it’s time.  Most pastors won’t take a stand since they are fearful their revenue stream might be adversely affected.  They have moved from revelation to religion and now protect their status, structure, and supporting revenue.  How many Pharisees did Jesus offend?  All of them, except for Nicodemus.  The Pharisees are the ones who attempted to remove Jesus so that they could protect their religion… and they failed!

Our faith does not make GOD do anything.  Our unbelief hinders our faith and therein lies the problem.

Mark recorded by The Holy Spirit in chapter 9:

14 Now when they came down the mountain to the other nine disciples, they noticed a large crowd of people gathered around them, with the religious scholars arguing with them. 15 The crowd was astonished to see Jesus himself walking toward them, so they immediately ran to welcome him.

16 “What are you arguing about with the religious scholars?” He asked them.

17 A man spoke up out of the crowd. “Teacher,” he said, “I have a son possessed by a demon that makes him mute. I brought him here to you, Jesus. 18 Whenever the demon takes control of him, it knocks him down, and he foams at the mouth and gnashes his teeth, and his body becomes stiff as a board. I brought him to Your disciples, hoping they could deliver him, but they were not able to do it.”

19 Jesus said to the crowd, “Why are you such a faithless people?  How much longer must I remain with you and put up with your unbelief? Now, bring the boy to me.”

20 So they brought him to Jesus. As soon as the demon saw him, it threw the boy into convulsions. He fell to the ground, rolling around and foaming at the mouth.

The demon saw Jesus then tried to stir up unbelief by using sight and sound to move Jesus into some level of unbelief.  No, it did not work! Jesus was well aware of the demon’s tactics.

21 Jesus turned to the father and asked, “How long has your son been tormented like this?”

“Since childhood,” he replied. 22 “It tries over and over to kill him by throwing him into fire or into the water. But please, if You’re able to do something, anything—have compassion on us and help us!”

23 Jesus said to him, “What do you mean ‘if’? If you are able to believe,all things are possible to the believer.”

24 When he heard this, the boy’s father cried out with tears, saying, “I do believe, Lord; help my little faith!”

Now the man is grasping the difference between faith and unbelief.

25 Now when Jesus saw that the crowd was quickly growing larger, he commanded the demon, saying, “Deaf and mute spirit, I command you to come out of him and never enter him again!”

26 The demon shrieked and threw the boy into terrible seizures and finally came out of him! As the boy lay there, looking like a corpse, everyone thought he was dead. 27 But Jesus stooped down, gently took his hand, and raised him up to his feet, and he stood there completely set free!

The demon made one last attempt to promote unbelief but failed.  The result is that the demon departed, never to return.  His assignment was cancelled.

28 Afterwards, when Jesus arrived at the house, his disciples asked Him in private, “Why couldn’t we cast out the demon?”

29 He answered them, “This type of powerful spirit can only be cast out by fasting and prayer.”

The disciples learned a valuable lesson that day.  There are different levels of power among demons and they needed to be prepared for this reality.  We do too.  If we spend all our time feeding our physical senses through the media, we will not be prepared to confront this level of demonic activity.  Hasn’t this been the case with the church and its inability to deal with the pandemic crisis?

We are called to be fruit inspectors and we cannot let this lack of fruit in the church become acceptable.  We failed the test once again.  The Good News is that we get to take the test until we pass it!  We must renew our minds and be transformed in our souls so that we are not hesitant to act when confronted with major challenges that threaten our walks.

Jesus made it clear that faith differs from unbelief.  How do you remove unbelief?  It is done by prayer and fasting.

As I wrote yesterday, I am responsible for removing unbelief, not FATHER.  I must ask HIM to show me where my issues, weaknesses, and/or hindrances are at then deal with them.  This is renewing my mind and taking the necessary remedial actions resulting in transformation.

We cannot be moved by what we see, hear, touch, smell, or taste.  If we are unwilling to block the world’s media, we will not progress to full maturity as Sons and Daughters.

Last night, my wife and I want to a casual restaurant and sat next to a young couple with a toddler.  The parents spent the entire meal focused on their cell phones and barely spoke to each other.  They kept the toddler preoccupied with food.  Do you think they are able to hear The Spirit through their cell phones?

Our faith does not make GOD do anything.  Our unbelief hinders our faith and therein lies the problem.

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Philemon chapter 1:

6 And I pray that the participation in and sharing of your faith may produce and promote full recognition and appreciation and understanding and precise knowledge of every good thing that is already ours in our identification with Christ Jesus and unto His glory.

When we were born again, FATHER deposited everything we need to fulfill our individual callings as written in our individual books as noted in Psalm 139:16.  The Trinity did not need our input to what would be included in those books.  They intended for us to fulfill our part in the Body of Christ so they made all resources available before they formed us in the womb.  This includes The Measure of Faith residing on the inside of each of us.

We must acknowledge and appropriate the measure of faith residing on the inside of each of us.  There is a difference between faith in its potential versus faith in full appropriation and action.  When I describe someone who has little or no faith, it is due to their lack of operating in faith, not that they are void of its potential.

Matthew recorded by The Holy Spirit in Matthew chapter 17:

14 They came to where a large crowd had gathered to wait for Jesus. A man came and knelt before Him 15 and said, “Lord, please show your tender mercy toward my son. He has a demon who afflicts him. He has epilepsy, and he suffers horribly from seizures. He often falls into the cooking fire or into the river. 16 I brought him to your followers, but they weren’t able to heal him.”

17 Jesus replied, “Where is your faith? Can’t you see how wayward and wrong this generation is? How much longer do I stay with you and put up with your doubts (unbelief)? Bring your son to me.”

18 Then Jesus rebuked the demon and it came out of him and the boy was instantly healed!

19 Later the disciples came to him privately and asked, “Why couldn’t we cast out the demon?”

The issue was not the disciples’ faith for they (by faith) had been healing the sick up to this point.  In Matthew chapter 10, Jesus instructed the disciples:

1   Jesus called his twelve disciples together and gave them authority to cast out evil spirits and to heal every kind of disease and illness.

8 Heal the sick, raise the dead, cure those with leprosy, and cast out demons. Give as freely as you have received!

This is why the asked Jesus the question.  Jesus responded:

20 He told them, “It was because of your unbelief. I promise you, if you have faith inside of you no bigger than the size of a small mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move away from here and go over there,’ and you will see it move! There is nothing you couldn’t do!

21 But this kind of unbelief is removed (cast out) only through prayer and fasting.”

Faith differs from unbelief.  Jesus explained that faith need not be any bigger than the smallest seed for it will be sufficient to cast out the demon.  However, their issue was unbelief.  How do you remove unbelief?  It is done by prayer and fasting.  I am responsible for removing unbelief, not FATHER.  I must ask HIM to show me where my issues, weaknesses, and/or hindrances are at then deal with them.

When I fast, I am not convincing FATHER to move or act on my behalf.  I am removing those hindrances to my faith.  The disciples were moved by what they saw the demon do to the man’s son and they were moved to unbelief.  Do you think that demons are not aware of this trick to convince us our faith was not enough?  Jesus was not moved by the demon’s shenanigans and he cast the demon out.

We cannot be moved by what we see, hear, touch, smell, or taste.  The world wants us to develop these senses and make them the predominant thoughts in our life.  This is why most people walk by the flesh and not by The Spirit.  In order to subdue our flesh, we must fast and cut off the focus on the five senses.  When we do this, our unbelief moves toward zero and then there is nothing we couldn’t do in Jesus’ own Words.
