Faith And Unbelief

August 3rd, 2021

Matthew recorded by The Holy Spirit in chapter 10:

1 And when He had called His twelve disciples to Him, He gave them power over unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal all kinds of sickness and all kinds of disease.

The disciples were given the needed power of authority to cast out demons and heal the sick… without exception.

We don’t more faith, we need to address the issue of unbelief.

Matthew recorded by The Holy Spirit in chapter 17:

14 And when they had come to the multitude, a man came to Him, kneeling down to Him and saying, 15 “Lord, have mercy on my son, for he is an epileptic and suffers severely; for he often falls into the fire and often into the water. 16 So I brought him to Your disciples, but they could not cure him.”

17 Then Jesus answered and said, “O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you? How long shall I bear with you? Bring him here to Me.” 18 And Jesus rebuked the demon, and it came out of him; and the child was cured from that very hour.

19 Then the disciples came to Jesus privately and said, “Why could we not cast it out?”

Clearly, the disciples were surprised concerning their inability to cast the demon out of the boy.  Peter, James, and John had just returned from the Mount of Transfiguration and witnessed Jesus in His glorified state yet they did not volunteer to cast the demon out themselves.  They were rather silent.

20 So Jesus said to them, “Because of your unbelief; for assuredly, I say to you, if you have faith as a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move; and nothing will be impossible for you. 21 However, this kind does not go out except by prayer and fasting.”

There are three types of unbelief:

  • Ignorance
  • Wrong teaching
  • Trusting what your five senses are telling you rather than what The Word says.  Natural unbelief is where your senses tell you something contrary to what you believe.

The disciples allowed the demon’s actions controlling the boy to take their focus away from the spiritual to the physical where unbelief originates.  Their unbelief overpowered their faith.  Yes, you can have faith and unbelief operating at the same time.  When the disciples initially attempted to cast out the demon, they commanded the demon by faith.  However, unbelief prevailed.  Jesus identified the root of the issue- unbelief, not faith.  For He mentioned the faith no bigger than a mustard seed is all you really need on the faith side of your walk.  After all, the measure of faith has been deposited in us by FATHER thus we are not lacking in faith even though it may be unapplied.

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.

The spiritually mature can perceive the unseen realm and differentiate from the physical (seen) realm.  They are not moved by the temporary physical realm no matter how intimidating to the spiritually immature.  Jesus was never moved by demonic actions and neither should we.

Fasting is meant to subdue your five physical senses and make them serve you rather than control you.  Fasting does not talk FATHER into anything but rather it is all about you placing your body into subjection to The Word and the Spiritual.

Jesus spoke in Matthew chapter 4:

4 But He answered and said, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every Word that proceeds from the mouth of God.’ ”

What do you live by?  We should tune our hearts to what The Word says rather than what our five senses are telling us.  Fasting doesn’t change GOD, it changes you.  You train your body to serve, not dominate.

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Philippians chapter 4:

6 Don’t be pulled in different directions or worried about a thing. Be saturated in prayer throughout each day, offering your faith-filled requests before God with overflowing gratitude. Tell him every detail of your life, 7 then God’s wonderful peace that transcends human understanding, will guard your heart and mind through Jesus Christ. 8 Keep your thoughts continually fixed on all that is authentic and real, honorable and admirable, beautiful and respectful, pure and holy, merciful and kind. And fasten your thoughts on every glorious work of God, praising Him always.

Prayer is about relationship with Our Heavenly Father.  As we stay connected with HIM, we will have the Wisdom and understanding on how to approach each situation that presents itself to us.

FATHER,

 I pray that YOU impart to me the riches of the Spirit of Wisdom and the Spirit of revelation to know YOU through my deepening intimacy with YOU.

 I pray that YOUR Light illuminate the eyes of my imagination, flooding me with light, until I experience the full revelation of the hope of YOUR calling—that is, the wealth of YOUR glorious inheritances that YOU find in us, YOUR Holy Ones!

 I pray that I will continually experience the immeasurable greatness of YOUR power made available to me through faith. Then my life will be an advertisement of this immense power as it works through me!

 In Jesus’ Name,

Amen

The Deposits Have Been Made: Final

We don’t have a faith problem, we have a knowledge problem.

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Romans chapter 4:

16 The promise depends on faith so that it can be experienced as a grace-gift, and now it extends to all the descendants of Abraham. This promise is not only meant for those who obey the law, but also to those who enter into the faith of Abraham, the father of us all.

17 That’s what the Scripture means when it says:

“I have made you the father of many nations.”

He is our example and father, for in God’s presence he believed that God can raise the dead and call into being things that don’t even exist yet. 18 Against all odds, when it looked hopeless, Abraham believed the promise and expected God to fulfill it. He took God at HIS Word, and as a result he became the father of many nations. God’s declaration over him came to pass:

“Your descendants will be so many

    that they will be impossible to count!”

19 In spite of being nearly one hundred years old when the promise of having a son was made, his faith was so strong that it could not be undermined by the fact that he and Sarah were incapable of conceiving a child. 20–21 He never stopped believing God’s promise, for he was made strong in his faith to father a child. And because he was mighty in faith and convinced that God had all the power needed to fulfill his promises, Abraham glorified God!

Abraham did not consider his current circumstances as being absolute and unchangeable.  Instead, he believed Our Heavenly Father’s Words of promise in his life.  Is it a lie to speak words which are currently contradicted by temporary facts?  No! 

FATHER is not subject to the temporary for HE is able to call into being those things and events that change the current facts and circumstances we are experiencing.  Jesus raised the dead.  Jesus restored men who were lame since birth.  The application of our faith can do the same.

Sarah’s womb was dead yet by faith it was made alive and brought forth a son, even in her old age.  Nothing is too great for faith to overcome if we truly believe.

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Hebrews chapter 11:

3 Faith empowers us to see that the universe was created and beautifully coordinated by the power of God’s Words! HE spoke and the invisible realm gave birth to all that is seen.

Faith moves from the spiritual realm and gives birth to the physical.  Supernatural faith is not limited by what you can experience, comprehend, or identify by your five physical senses.

Paul also wrote by The Holy Spirit in Galatians chapter 2:

20 My old identity has been co-crucified with Christ and no longer lives. And now the essence of this new life is no longer mine, for the Anointed One lives his life through me—we live in union as one! My new life is empowered by the faith of the Son of God Who Loves me so much that He gave Himself for me, dispensing His life into mine!

And in chapter 5:

22–23 But the fruit produced by the Holy Spirit within you is Divine Love in all its varied expressions:

joy that overflows,

peace that subdues,

patience that endures,

kindness in action,

a life full of virtue,

faith that prevails,

gentleness of heart, and

strength of spirit.

Never set the law above these qualities, for they are meant to be limitless.

Faith is a fruit of The Holy Spirit residing on the inside of us and is meant to produce limitless results.  I would call this great faith.  What level of faith are you willing to be satisfied with in your walk?  The greater the faith, the greater the works. 

Jesus spoke in Matthew chapter 10:

8 You must continually bring healing to lepers and to those who are sick, and make it your habit to break off the demonic presence from people, and raise the dead back to life. Freely you have received the power of the Kingdom, so freely release it to others.

Let us pursue full activation of the measure of faith deposited in us so that we will be integral to FATHER’S current Move rather than just observers.  Now is the time, for in the end, it is all about Love!

We don’t have a faith problem, we have a knowledge problem.

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Romans chapter 12:

3 For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith.

This “measure of faith” has been given to every Son and Daughter of GOD.  Great versus little faith deals with the access, activation, and usage of what we have, not how much we have been given by FATHER.  Even faith compared to a grain of mustard seed is great if accessed, activated, and applied by the person standing before a mountain.  The measure of faith deposited inside of you is sufficient beyond your greatest expectations.

There are spiritual laws that govern faith.  Jesus spoke in Mark chapter 11:

23 For assuredly, I say 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.

Words are critically important when walking in faith.  Our words need to line up with our expectations and we are not to speak words contrary to such expectations.  Faith is voice-activated.  FATHER released HIS faith in this manner and we were created in HIS image so we should release faith in the same way.

James wrote in his epistle by The Holy Spirit in chapter 3:

10 Out of the same mouth proceed blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not to be so. 11 Does a spring send forth fresh water and bitter from the same opening? 12 Can a fig tree, my brethren, bear olives, or a grapevine bear figs? Thus no spring yields both salt water and fresh.

Wisdom wrote in Proverbs chapter 18:

21 Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and they who indulge in it shall eat the fruit of it [for death or life].

Words are powerful, they either have life or death in them.  Your words are your choice thus you make the decision of where you will end up.  Words created Heaven and earth.  Be careful of what comes out of your mouth.

James also wrote by The Holy Spirit in chapter 1:

22 But be doers of the Word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves. 23 For if anyone is a hearer of the Word and not a doer, he is like a man observing his natural face in a mirror; 24 for he observes himself, goes away, and immediately forgets what kind of man he was. 25 But he who looks into the perfect law of liberty and continues in it, and is not a forgetful hearer but a doer of the work, this one will be blessed in what he does.

James also wrote by The Holy Spirit in chapter 2:

17 Thus also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead.

18 But someone will say, “You have faith, and I have works.” Show me your faith without your works, and I will show you my faith by my works. 19 You believe that there is one God. You do well. Even the demons believe—and tremble! 20 But do you want to know, O foolish man, that faith without works is dead?

Faith has action attached to it.  Our words must align with faith else we will not manifest what we are expecting by faith.  If you speak words of unbelief, you are planting unbelief in your heart.  Events are temporary by nature so don’t dwell on those events that challenge your faith.  If nothing else, say nothing!  We need to cooperate with how faith works for it is not our faith, it is the faith of GOD working in us.

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Philemon verse 6:

That the communication of thy faith may become effectual by the acknowledging of every good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus.

Acknowledge the faith you have been given and then become effective in faith by following the laws which govern faith.

Peter wrote by revelation from The Holy Spirit in 2nd Peter chapters 1:

1 This letter is from Simeon Peter, a loving servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ. I am writing to those who have been given a faith as equally precious as ours through the righteousness of our God and Savior, Jesus Christ. 2 May grace and perfect peace cascade over you as you live in the rich knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord.

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. 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.

Peter joins Paul in expressing the reality of what has already been deposited in each of us by Our Heavenly Father.  Embracing this Truth is so vital to the Move of GOD at hand.  Why?  Jesus had Divine power and did not simply keep it to Himself but walked in it to minister life and restoration to those in whom He came in contact.  We should be doing the same.  Let us not be self-centered concerning this revelation, we need to minister to others as well.

This series of writings answers the question of how we could fulfill Jesus’ Words when He spoke them in Mark chapter 16:

15 And then He told them, “Go into all the world and preach the Good News to everyone. 16 Anyone who believes and is baptized will be saved. But anyone who refuses to believe will be condemned. 17 These miraculous signs will accompany those who believe: They will cast out demons in My Name, and they will speak in new languages. 18 They will be able to handle snakes with safety, and if they drink anything poisonous, it won’t hurt them. They will be able to place their hands on the sick, and they will be healed.”

We have THE measure of faith deposited on the inside of us by Our Heavenly Father.  Everything Jesus has, is, and can do is already deposited on the inside of us.  Accessing what has been deposited in us is the issue.  It requires faith and FATHER has even provided for that as well!

The Beloved Disciple wrote by The Holy Spirit in 1st John chapter 5:

3 True Love for God means obeying HIS commands, and HIS commands don’t weigh us down as heavy burdens. 4 You see, every child of God overcomes the world, for our faith is the victorious power that triumphs over the world. 5 So who are the world conquerors, defeating its power? Those who believe that Jesus is the Son of God.

You and I have been made more than conquerors through HIM WHO Loved us.  Do you have true Love for God?  Then obey His commands for HE has given us everything we need to fulfill those commands and left nothing out.  As we access those deposits in us, we will rise up and fulfill all the commands given to us and experience “greater things”.

The revelation and access of these deposits allowed Paul to write by The Holy Spirit in Philippians chapter 4:

13 I can do all things through Christ Who strengthens me.

The restrictions are lifted by revelation and we can no longer be deceived that we are insufficient in our walk.  All means all.

When the disciples asked for more faith, Jesus effectively told them to use what they had.  In Luke 17:

5 Upon hearing this, the apostles said to Jesus, “Lord, you must increase our measure of faith!”

6 Jesus responded, “If you have even the smallest measure of faith, it would be powerful enough to say to this large tree, ‘My faith will pull you up by the roots and throw you into the sea,’ and it will respond to your faith and obey you.”

THE measure of faith deposited in us is more than sufficient.

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Galatians chapter 2:

20 My old identity has been co-crucified with Christ and no longer lives. And now the essence of this new life is no longer mine, for the Anointed One lives His life through me—we live in union as one! My new life is empowered by the faith of the Son of God who loves me so much that he gave Himself for me, dispensing His life into mine!

We need to access this empowerment by faith.  We already have the faith OF the Son of GOD on the inside of us!  Now is the time to operate in it.

Paul also wrote by The Holy Spirit in Ephesians chapter 2:

8 For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, 9 not of works, lest anyone should boast. 10 For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.

Faith is a gift of God as we were in no state to have our own faith to be saved.  HE provided the faith to be saved thus we are not able to boast as though by our own works we were saved.  Faith is supernatural and spiritual-based having its origin from FATHER.  Think about it.

Paul also wrote by The Holy Spirit in Galatians chapter 2:

16 we know that no one receives God’s perfect righteousness as a reward for keeping the law, but only by the faith of Jesus, the Messiah! His faithfulness has saved us, and we have received God’s perfect righteousness. Now we know that God accepts no one by the keeping of religious laws!

We don’t need more faith, we need to learn how to use the faith we already have.  This comes by hearing and meditating on The Word and its promises to those who come to full maturity in their Love and faith.

Paul wrote by revelation from The Holy Spirit in Colossians chapters 1 and 2:

We have already been equipped to be a partaker of the inheritance of the saints in the light.

We have already been delivered from the power of darkness.

We have already been translated into the Kingdom of the Son of His Love.

We have already have redemption through His blood.

We have already been reconciled and we have Christ in us, the hope of glory.

We have already received a treasury from FATHER containing everything we need to live a Christ-centered life and walk out HIS Divine intent for our individual lives.  Satan can only deceive those who don’t know what they have.  I trust that these writings will prevent you from being deceived by the adversary ever again.

As we focus on what Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Colossians and Ephesians, our minds are transformed and our mindsets become aligned so that we can fully access those deposits resulting in fruitfulness.  The people we encounter benefit from our fruitfulness and in turn encourage them to seek out what we have… Christ in us, the hope of glory.  As a result, the Kingdom of GOD expands.

When we have fully embraced this revelation, we then live a life full of thanksgiving and gratitude for what FATHER has done.  Pure praise proceeds out of our mouth and our worship deepens.  Peter speaks about the results of this deepening reverence and its results.

Peter wrote by The Holy Spirit in 1st Peter chapter 3:

15 But give reverent honor in your hearts to the Anointed One and treat Him as the Holy Master of your lives. And if anyone asks about the hope living within you, always be ready to explain your faith

You are abounding in faith when you give thanksgiving for what FATHER has already provided you.  There is no longer any doubt about what you have been given.  Praise ensues out of your mouth and manifestation is at hand.

Paul urges us by The Holy Spirit in Colossians chapter 2:

8 Don’t let anyone capture you with empty philosophies and high-sounding nonsense that come from human thinking and from the spiritual powers of this world, rather than from Christ.

Isn’t this what is happening throughout the earth right now with the continued fear of a pandemic?  What is the world’s solution, an untested jab in the arm, not knowing the long-term consequences of the injection?  What is FATHER’S solution?  A strong immune system.  The world is constantly promoting fear in order to have the population fully submitted to its empty philosophies and high-sounding nonsense.  This is not my opinion but instead it is what Scripture warns of in the last days.

Again, beware that no one distracts you or intimidates you in their attempt to lead you away from Christ’s fullness by pretending to be full of wisdom when they’re filled with endless arguments of human logic. For they operate with humanistic and clouded judgments based on the mindset of this world system, and not the anointed truths of the Anointed One.

Walking in Love-based faith or fear, it is your choice.  Satan doesn’t have power to force a person to do anything.  He only has deception to work with in order to get us to respond to him.  When you know and embrace the Truth, deception has no power over you.

Jesus spoke in John chapter 8:

32 For if you embrace the Truth, it will release true freedom into your lives.

Truth must be embraced and worked out through the Divine process of Spiritual maturity.  When we are spiritually mature, we rely solely on the Truth of FATHER’S Word and HIS SPIRIT.  The world will have no impact on us in any way, shape, or form.  The adversary will depart and look for someone who is weaker and can be deceived.  Remember, satan has no power unless we give it to him.

GOD ALMIGHTY is living inside us and HIS treasures are on deposit within us.  Christ lives in us and in Christ lives all the fullness of God in a human body.  His resurrection power lives inside us so let us access it to heal all our diseases and afflictions.  FATHER has already anticipated everything we are facing and will face in the future.  Yes, God raised Jesus to life! And since God’s Spirit of Resurrection lives in you and me, He will also raise our dying bodies to life by the same Spirit that breathes life into us!

Death and life are in the power of the tongue.  What are you going to confess concerning the revelation of Christ in you and the benefits FATHER placed in you?

Paul wrote by revelation from The Holy Spirit in Colossians chapter 2:

2 I am contending for you that your hearts will be wrapped in the comfort of Heaven and woven together into Love’s fabric. This will give you access to all the riches of God as you experience the revelation of God’s great mystery—Christ.

3 For our spiritual wealth is in Him, like hidden treasure waiting to be discovered—Heaven’s wisdom and endless riches of revelation knowledge.

We are to attain to all riches of the full assurance of understanding, to the knowledge of the mystery of God, both of the Father and of Christ, in Whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.  This is what this series of writings in meant to reveal the mystery: to make known what are the riches of the glory which are already deposited in us awaiting our revelation of their existence.  We have already received what is needed for us to flourish in our life.

First is seeing, then acknowledging, then receiving, then embracing with understanding, and finally acting upon in Wisdom the hidden treasures which have been waiting to be discovered.  By then, all doubt of this revelation has been removed.

As we dwell on these writings focused on Colossians and Ephesians, we will get an assured conviction of understanding which will in turn produce good and bountiful fruit in our lives.  This fruit is meant to be eaten by those in need so that they will begin to see the Kingdom of GOD here on the earth. 

We plant good seed ordained by FATHER to produce Kingdom fruit.  Who better than to give food and clothing to kids in dire need!  They are special in FATHER’S eyes and HE is the One who repays us in our cheerful gifts of Love.

Heaven’s Wisdom and endless riches of revelation knowledge await our access now, not later.  Empowered with these allows us to live a full life as overcomers.  Every situation will be dealt with by Heaven’s Wisdom rather than man’s soulish wisdom.  Revelation knowledge moves us in the right direction and positions us for the Kingdom’s success.  We rest assured.

The adversary can no longer deceive those who have embraced the revelation of this mystery being revealed- we already have everything deposited in us that we need for a fulfilling life.  He wants us to first doubt its existence but if that doesn’t work, he wants us to doubt our ability to access it.  He will always use the word “if” when possible.  Don’t be beguiled as Eve was in Genesis chapter 3!  Satan’s tactics never change.

Christ is in you and everything you will ever need is in Christ and His treasures reside inside of you.  When you fully acknowledge this revelation, you will be content and assured that every event or situation you encounter has been anticipated by FATHER before HE formed you in the womb and you will be successful in your walk.  Nobody will be able to deceive you as you walk in this revelation.

Our lives must be centered in Christ.  Living within you is the Christ Who floods you with the expectation of glory! This mystery of Christ, embedded within us, becomes a Heavenly treasure chest of hope filled with the riches of glory for His people, and God wants everyone to know it!

Our own completeness is found in Him. We are completely filled with God as Christ’s fullness overflows within us. He is the Head of every kingdom and authority in the universe!  Are you ready to allow overflow to operate within you?  Let us access those deposits so that the flow not only begins, but overflows to the benefit of others.

We are to continue our journey of faith, progressing further into our union with Christ!   Our spiritual roots will go deeply into His life as we are continually infused with strength, encouraged in every way. For we are established in the faith we have absorbed and enriched by our devotion to Him!  Let us not depart from our journey nor allow our union with Christ to be weakened by any challenge that presents itself.

Thank Him for what you already have!  You have the ability to release what you have… use it.

Jesus spoke in John chapter 4:

24 God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in Spirit and Truth.”

Our born again spirit is fully mature and capable of worshipping Father in Spirit and Truth.  Our spirit is not the issue, our soul is where the issue lies.

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Hebrews chapter 4:

16 Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.

We don’t have to wait until we get to Heaven to access FATHER, our spirits are already mature and acceptable in HIS sight.

Jesus spoke in Matthew chapter 6:

10 Manifest your kingdom realm,

    and cause your every purpose to be fulfilled on earth,

    just as it is in Heaven.

We can and should experience Heaven while on earth.  This is done by appropriating our deposits in us made by FATHER before we were born.  We will experience Heaven on earth to the degree we access those deposits.  Why would anyone delay in accessing their deposits?  Is there anything more important that would cause us to wait or defer this access?

Paul emphasizes the importance of knowing what Jesus has already accomplished on our behalf when he wrote by revelation from The Holy Spirit in Colossians chapter 2:

9 For Jesus is the complete fullness of deity living in human form. 10 And our own completeness is now found in Him. We are completely filled with God as Christ’s fullness overflows within us. He is the Head of every kingdom and authority in the universe!

11 Through our union with him we have experienced circumcision of heart. All of the guilt and power of sin has been cut away and is now extinct because of what Christ, the Anointed One, has accomplished for us.

12 For we’ve been buried with Him into his death. Our “baptism into death” also means we were raised with Him when we believed in God’s resurrection power, the power that raised Him from death’s realm. 13 This “realm of death” describes our former state, for we were held in sin’s grasp. But now, we’ve been resurrected out of that “realm of death” never to return, for we are forever alive and forgiven of all our sins!

14 He canceled out every legal violation we had on our record and the old arrest warrant that stood to indict us. He erased it all—our sins, our stained soul—He deleted it all and they cannot be retrieved! Everything we once were in Adam has been placed onto his cross and nailed permanently there as a public display of cancellation.

Paul expressly shows us that Jesus has already fully provided the necessary provision for us to currently walk in.  We are not waiting on some future event from Heaven in order to walk in power and authority.  Heaven is waiting on us to appropriate this power and authority Jesus already provided.  I have been led to write on this vital Truth in great detail because of its critical importance for us in these times.  Do not treat this in a casual manner!  We are now complete IN HIM.

Don’t be controlled by the physical realm of your five physical senses.  These are spiritual Truths that must be accessed by our spirits.  We must not let our soul restrain our spirit.  Neither should we allow our bodies to dictate our perspective and course of action.

James wrote by The Holy Spirit in chapter 2:

26 For just as a human body without the spirit is a dead corpse, so faith without the expression of good works is dead!

We must be spirit led and be fruitful with good works.  Neither dead works nor a dead body has value to anyone.  For those of us who have accepted Christ, GOD lives in us, Jesus lives in us, and The Holy Spirit lives in us but Their accessibility is only through our spirit.  In Jesus dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily and so we are complete in Him, who is the head of all principality and power.  Our bodies are meant to physically carry out what our spirit commands.  We should not allow our body to rule us in any way.

When we declared with our mouth that Jesus is Lord, believed and accepted in our heart that God raised Him from the dead, we experienced salvation.  This act opened the door to all the benefits of our deposits.  What a straightforward plan FATHER put together which was inclusive in nature.  The simplicity allowed for all of mankind to be included.  HIS limitless nature is for all to see, experience and be assured of their salvation.  That is extremely good news.

We need to draw out the deposits made by FATHER already in us.

Peter wrote by The Holy Spirit in 1st Peter chapter 2:

24 who Himself bore our sins in His own body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live for righteousness—by whose stripes you were healed.

This healing has already been given to us, we must appropriate that which has been deposited in us by FATHER.  There is plenty of provision in every area of our life, including healing, restoration, and health.

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Colossians chapter 1:

12 Your hearts can soar with joyful gratitude when you think of how God made you worthy to receive the glorious inheritance freely given to us by living in the light (Divine Nature). 13 He has rescued us completely from the tyrannical rule of darkness and has translated us into the kingdom realm of his beloved Son. 14 For in the Son all our sins are canceled and we have the release of redemption through his very blood.

Notice that Paul emphasizes that FATHER has already done these things so HE is not waiting on us to perform to acquire them.  He wants us to access them for they are already provided for us and to us.

Satan’s only power is deception thus he and his minions use deception in order to convince us that everything FATHER has provided us exists only in the future and it not immediately available for us to appropriate.  The devil wants us to believe we must perform in order to acquire some blessing from GOD.  We must resist such lies and give no place to the devil.  We have been delivered from the power of darkness so don’t let the devil’s deception convince you otherwise.  Do not be ignorant of his devices.  Immersion in The Word eliminates ignorance.

When you are born again, your sins have been forgiven- past, present, and future.  We are a new creation and ALL our sins are cancelled and the case is closed as Paul affirmed 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.

We need to quit beating ourselves up when we screw up.  Just repent and go on.  Jesus took care of this issue 2,000 years ago.

Jesus spoke in John chapter 10:

10 A thief has only one thing in mind—he wants to steal, slaughter, and destroy. But I have come to give you everything in abundance, more than you expect—life in its fullness until you overflow!

The devil wants you to sin so that he can claim dominion over you.  Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Romans chapter 6:

12 Sin is a dethroned monarch; so you must no longer give it an opportunity to rule over your life, controlling how you live and compelling you to obey its desires and cravings. 13 So then, refuse to answer its call to surrender your body as a tool for wickedness. Instead, passionately answer God’s call to keep yielding your body to Him as one who has now experienced resurrection life! You live now for His pleasure, ready to be used for His noble purpose. 14 Remember this: sin will not conquer you, for God already has! You are not governed by law but governed by the reign of the grace of God.

Each and every day, we have the choice to focus and pursue either what FATHER directs or submit ourselves to the deception of the adversary.  As we mature in Christ, our choice will remain firm in pursuing life.  We must not slack off in our quest for full maturity in our walk.  Let us not forget who we are in Christ.

Paul wrote about this by The Holy Spirit in Colossians chapter 1:

21–22 Even though you were once distant from Him, living in the shadows of your evil thoughts and actions, He reconnected you back to Himself. He released His supernatural peace to you through the sacrifice of His own body as the sin-payment on your behalf so that you would dwell in His presence. And now there is nothing between you and Father God, for He sees you as holy, flawless, and restored, 23 if indeed you continue to advance in faith, assured of a firm foundation to grow upon. Never be shaken from the hope of the gospel you have believed in. And this is the glorious news I preach all over the world.

We have the responsibility to advance in faith, which comes by immersing ourselves in The Word.  How often?  Paul expressed by The Holy Spirit in Hebrews chapter 3:

12 So search your hearts every day, my brothers and sisters, and make sure that none of you has evil or unbelief hiding within you. For it will lead you astray, and make you unresponsive to the living God. 13 This is the time to encourage each other to never be stubborn or hardened by sin’s deceitfulness. 14 For we are mingled with the Messiah, if we will continue unshaken in this confident assurance from the beginning until the end.

This is a daily walk, not an occasional walk.  Unwise virgins did not take heed.  Goats resist a daily walk because of their rebellious will.  Tares have no clue.  The wise virgins are the focus of Jesus’ ministry in these last days, so don’t allow yourselves to be classified in the other groups.  It will not go well for them.

The Deposits Have Been Made: Part 11

July 26th, 2021

Once you understand Agape Love, your actions will line up with the deposits made by FATHER already existing in you.

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Colossians chapter 1:

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

10 that you may walk worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing Him, being fruitful in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God;

11 strengthened with all might, according to His glorious power, for all patience and longsuffering with joy;

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

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

HE has already done these things: qualified, delivered, and conveyed.  We didn’t earn these deposits, they are gifts of Love from FATHER.  When we walk in these gifts, we produce fruit of THE SPIRIT found in Galatians chapter 5 recorded by Paul who received the revelation by The Holy Spirit:

22–23 But the fruit produced by the Holy Spirit within you is Divine Love in all its varied expressions:

joy that overflows,

peace that subdues,

patience that endures,

kindness in action,

a life full of virtue,

faith that prevails,

gentleness of heart, and

strength of spirit.

Never set the law above these qualities, for they are meant to be limitless.

All that matters now is living in the faith that works and expresses itself through Love.  As we immerse ourselves in The Word (especially Colossians and Ephesians) our mindsets will be transformed and great faith will manifest among us to do those greater works Jesus referenced in Mark chapter 16.

Once you understand Agape Love, it will cause you to live a Godly life and the above fruit will abound in your life.  Agape Love must be our foundation.

The Beloved Disciple had this revelation as he wrote by The Holy Spirit in 1st John chapter 3:

1 Look with wonder at the depth of the Father’s marvelous Love that He has lavished on us! He has called us and made us His very own Beloved Sons and Daughters. The reason the world doesn’t recognize who we are is that they didn’t recognize Him. 2 Beloved, we are God’s children right now; however, it is not yet apparent what we will become. But we do know that when it is finally made visible, we will be just like Him, for we will see Him as He truly is. 3 And all who focus their hope on Him will always be purifying themselves, just as Jesus is pure.

The greater our revelation of Agape Love, the greater our fruitfulness on behalf of HIS Kingdom here on earth will abound.  When you see GOD as HE really is, you will start acting like HIM.  After all, we are made in HIS image but in the past, we have looked dimly in a mirror.  It is time to see clearly for The Word purifies us and allows us to see clearly.  This includes both you and me.

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

7 Those who are Loved by God, let his Love continually pour from you to one another, because God is Love. Everyone who Loves is fathered by God and experiences an intimate knowledge of Him. 8 The one who doesn’t Love has yet to know God, for God is Love

Man’s love is performance-based and you are subject to potential rejection if you don’t perform.  It is temporary in nature and can be withdrawn if you fail to continue in the area of performance by the one who distributes such love.  The spirit of rejection is behind this type of love and there is always an “If” attached.

Agape Love is preexistent and does not require your performance.  It operates by grace or unmerited favor.  Agape Love wrote your book and formed you in the womb thus you have a foundation of Agape Love waiting on your revelation of this Truth.  Pursue it and it will be revealed for FATHER is not withholding it, HE is waiting for us to open our eyes and pursue understanding. 

We do have a choice in whether we choose life or death.  When we pursue life, Agape Love is before us and wants to be revealed so that we can walk in what we already have.  We must appropriate what GOD has already deposited in us.  We are told to ask, seek, and knock and if those deposits of Agape Love weren’t there, Jesus would not have directed us to do so.
