Finding Normal- Part 5

May 6th, 2020

Each nation around the world is being challenged by a pandemic which has the adversary as its source.  A plague was permitted to come upon Egypt as they were opposing FATHER’S Word concerning the bondage of the children of Israel.  Science appeals to man’s soulish nature and would have us believe some natural mutation of a virus is the cause.  The true cause is moral decay within each nation.  FATHER’S Normal, HIS Divine Intent is for all men to walk disease-free and this is expressed over and over in HIS Word.  Clearly, there is a major issue that must be dealt with so we must look to The Word for answers.  It is obvious the “super-intelligent” have none.

Paul specifically and openly reveals FATHER’S judgment concerning moral decay without any reluctance.  Paul wrote by revelation from The Holy Spirit in Romans chapter 1:

16 I refuse to be ashamed of sharing the wonderful message of GOD’S liberating power unleashed in us through Christ! For I am thrilled to preach that everyone who believes is saved—the Jew first, and then people everywhere! 17 This 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!”

Now that we understand the wonderful message of FATHER’S “liberating power” through Christ, FATHER reveals HIS wrath by specifically speaking against any and all excuses being used to rationalize why men and women justify their thoughts and actions.  There are no excuses.

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.

21 Throughout 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. 22 Although claiming to be super-intelligent, they were in fact shallow fools. 23 For 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!

Why did FATHER allow the virus to come in with a “vengeance” and decimate the economies of nations?  In the past, there was supernatural restraint protecting Godly nations and history provides multiple testimonies of this Truth.

24 This 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— 25 all 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 for eternity of eternities! Amen!

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.

28 And 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. 29 Their 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 30 who 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. 31 They are senseless, faithless, ruthless, heartless, and completely merciless. 32 Although 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 provided us with a stark contrast to walking in FATHER’S Normal.  The above does not need any additional commentary for it provides explicit detail to FATHER’S judgment upon nations.  All who are walking in sin and unrighteousness need to repent.  The stakes are extremely high at this point in history.  What say you?

Feeding The Children

May 5th, 2020

I am committed to adhering to Jesus’ ministry and Intent.  I trust you are too.  Children have a special place in FATHER’S Heart as we see in Luke chapter 9, when Jesus spoke FATHER’S Words:

46 The disciples began to argue and became preoccupied over who would be the greatest one among them. 47 Fully aware of their innermost thoughts, Jesus called a little child to his side and said to them, 48 “If you tenderly care for this little child on my behalf, you are tenderly caring for me. And if you care for me, you are honoring my Father who sent me. For the one who is least important in your eyes is actually the most important one of all.”

Consider the impoverished children.  Are they not of even greater concern and attention?  This is why FATHER is having Servias Ministries focus on the impoverished kids in the area.  Because of the schools being closed thus reducing daily interaction, we have obtained grocery gift cards and are distributing them through the principals of the local school district.  The current environment will not thwart FATHER’S Plan.  Thank you for supporting this specific expression of Agape Love.  I am thrilled FATHER is using us for such an important purpose!

The Beloved Disciple recorded in John chapter 6, the Words and acts of Jesus:

5 As Jesus sat down, he looked out and saw the massive crowd of people scrambling up the hill, for they wanted to be near him. So he turned to Philip and said, “Where will we buy enough food to feed all these people?” 6 Now Jesus already knew what he was about to do, but he said this to stretch Philip’s faith.

7 Philip answered, “Well, I suppose if we were to give everyone only a snack, it would cost thousands of dollars to buy enough food!”

8 But just then, Andrew, Peter’s brother, spoke up and said, 9 “Look! Here’s a young person with five barley loaves and two small fish . . . but how far would that go with this huge crowd?”

10 “Have everyone sit down,” Jesus said to his disciples. So on the vast grassy slope, more than five thousand hungry people sat down. 11 Jesus then took the barley loaves and the fish and gave thanks to God. He then gave it to the disciples to distribute to the people. Miraculously, the food multiplied, with everyone eating as much as they wanted!

12 When everyone was satisfied, Jesus told his disciples, “Now go back and gather up the pieces left over so that nothing will be wasted.” 13 The disciples filled up twelve baskets of fragments, a basket of leftovers for each disciple.

Jesus was not reluctant to bless the boy who contributed to the blessing.  Though not specifically written, the story suggests that the disciples helped carry the boy’s blessing back to his house.  I am sure the family was astounded when he arrived and surely the disciples explained the details of the miracle.

As we give to feeding those in need, FATHER will bless us with abundance as well.  This is what Agape Love does!

Finding Normal- Part 4

May 4th, 2020

We don’t need to live in bondage in these chaotic times.  Satan will create a problem then solve it so people will view him as their savior and will submit to bondage.  We must not allow ourselves to be in bondage to what the world promotes.

Revelation, health, and provision are included in FATHER’S Normal.  We are meant to walk totally in HIS Perfect Plan, Will, and Purpose.  We are not to listen to the world’s flawed logic.

When a person speaks forth an opinion and has no facts or Divine Absolute Truth, he is simply guessing.  If he has facts only, he is actually speaking forth his opinion using soulish logic.  The one who has the facts AND Divine Absolute Truth is speaking forth revelation.  We must listen to The Holy Spirit in order to discern who we listen and respond to when walking out our daily lives.  Peter warned us when he wrote by The Holy Spirit in his 2nd epistle chapter 1:

19 And so we have been given the prophetic word—the written message of the prophets, made more reliable and fully validated by the confirming Voice of GOD on the Mount of Transfiguration. And you will continue to do well if you stay focused on it. For this prophetic message is like a piercing light shining in a gloomy place until the dawning of a new day, when the Morning Star rises in your hearts.

20 You must understand this at the outset: Interpretation of scriptural prophecy requires the Holy Spirit, for it does not originate from someone’s own imagination. 21 No true prophecy comes from human initiative but is inspired by the moving of the Holy Spirit upon those who spoke the message that came from GOD.

Why focus on the fear, uncertainty, and doubt spewed out by the world’s multitude of voices when we need only to walk according to what The Holy Spirit directs us on a daily basis?  We are to be a light amongst the chaos, not shivering in an isolated corner waiting for death to knock at our door.  The world will focus on emotions in order to place people in bondage. 

Our trust must be in FATHER’S Divine Intent.  Whatever can be shaken will be revealed and judged accordingly.  Your and my foundation will be exposed to us and reveal the Truth in our walk.  Which of the following will be revealed: gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, and/or straw?

 I don’t hesitate to continually remind you of these Truths, even though you are aware of them and are well established in your present measure of Truth you have already embraced.  We must keep our focus on the applicable Word for today and not allow ourselves to be forgetful hearers only.  The Holy Spirit wants us to be awakened with this reminder,

Peter continued:

16 We were not retelling some masterfully crafted legend when we informed you of the power and appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ, for we saw His magnificence and splendor unveiled before our very eyes. 17 Yes, FATHER GOD lavished upon Him radiant glory and honor when HIS distinct Voice spoke out of the realm of majestic glory, endorsing Him with these words: This is MY cherished Son, marked by my Love. All MY delight is found in Him! 18 And we ourselves heard that Voice resound from the Heavens while we were with Him on the Holy mountain.

In Luke chapter 9, FATHER told the three disciples “This is MY beloved Son. Hear Him!”

Peter, James, and John were witnesses to the preexistent Jesus and FATHER gave them AND us a specific command, “Hear Him”.  We can either listen to the world’s rhetoric or focus on the Words and Divine Intent of Jesus as they are FATHER’S Words to us.  It is our choice whether we submit to the world’s normal which is based on bondage and servitude or FATHER’S Normal resulting in us setting the captives free.

Finding Normal- Part 3

May 3rd, 2020

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

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.

I spent much of my early walk focused on Scriptures and teachings on faith.  We were in the middle of the “faith” movement sweeping the country and the topic of faith was the primary message by many of the evangelists, pastors, and teachers.  I don’t recall any of them ever focusing on the above verses.  If they did, it certainly didn’t “stick” with those of us in the audience.  Faith was where we were encouraged to focus our attention.

My wife lost interest in their message and I was trying to pursue something deeper.  She clearly was my barometer in determining that it was time to move on from this encampment.  The above passage provides us the expected progression toward the fullness of finding FATHER’S Normal.  The culmination is Agape Love, of course.

We need to walk in each of these attributes as we move on along the path known as “The Way”.  The Holy Spirit further reveals some important Truths:

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.

We need not hop on a plane and go to some distant place in order to find these virtues.  We need only to enter our prayer closet and open our eyes to this revelation.  They are planted as seeds in us waiting to be activated.  Not only are they there, but they are in abundant supply, fully sufficient, in great quantity and overflowing.  There is no inherent restriction associated with our potential to be fruitful in all that we set out to do on behalf of FATHER’S Divine Intent for our lives.

If anyone is lacking in these virtues, he is described as being blind and cannot access the mysteries of our faith, Christ in us.  That is quite a statement and we must take in very seriously.  The person who is blinded, “he is still searching for the purification of his original sins.”

We have been given the roadmap to maturity and we are urged to press on toward the fullness of Agape Love.  We fully understand that our case is closed for The Holy Spirit dwells in us now and we are no longer searching for purification from our past sins.

Our pursuit will result in knowing Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ more intimately.  Is there anything more precious to seek after than this?  In such an intimate relationship, Jesus is able to entrust His thought to us without reservation.  He will have no concern of abuse, control, or manipulation of revelation given to those of us who have such a relationship with Him.  This is what it means to be walking in FATHER’S Normal.

Finding Normal- Part 2

May 2nd, 2020

There is only one mediator between GOD and man- Jesus Christ.  Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in 1 Timothy chapter 2 to reveal and affirm this Absolute Truth:

5 For God is one, and there is one Mediator between God and the sons of men—the true man, Jesus, the Anointed One. 6 He gave himself as ransom-payment for everyone. Now is the proper time for God to give the world this witness. 7 I have been divinely called as an apostle to preach this revelation, which is the Truth. God has called me to be a trustworthy teacher to the nations.

You and I do not need a man or woman to be our go-between with FATHER.  Once Jesus became our Mediator, no one else is ever needed no matter what religion tells us.  I don’t need a pope, priest, senior pastor, prophet, or any other person to intervene on my behalf for I already Jesus Christ as my mediator.

I am not equipped to be my own mediator just as none of the Jewish priests could settle matters beyond the temporary as they entered into the Holy of Holies here on earth.  The best defense attorney in the world is ill-equipped to defend my weaknesses and unrighteousness before the ONE WHO knows absolutely everything about me.

Reverencing Jesus Christ is paramount to us establishing FATHER’S “normal” in our lives.  It is my intent to exalt Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior everyday for He deserves my praise and worship as does FATHER.

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in 1 Corinthians chapter 15:

12 The message we preach is Christ, who has been raised from the dead. So how could any of you possibly say there is no resurrection of the dead? 13 For if there is no such thing as a resurrection from the dead, then not even Christ has been raised. 14 And if Christ has not been raised, all of our preaching has been for nothing and your faith is useless. 15 Moreover, if the dead are not raised, that would mean that we are false witnesses who are misrepresenting God. And that would mean that we have preached a lie, stating that God raised him from the dead, if in reality he didn’t.

16 If the dead aren’t raised up, that would mean that Christ has not been raised up either. 17 And if Christ is not alive, you are still lost in your sins and your faith is a fantasy. 18 It would also mean that those believers in Christ who have passed away have simply perished. 19 If the only benefit of our hope in Christ is limited to this life on earth, we deserve to be pitied more than all others!

My message to you is the same as Paul’s- I preach Christ, Who has been raised from the dead.  As I have shared in the past, I have faced death five times in the past… I don’t recommend the experiences.  However, FATHER spoke to me and said “You will live and not die.”  I put my entire trust in My Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and no one else.  I am forever grateful for FATHER’S rich grace and mercy as HE saved me from peril.  Was I perfect at the time of each event?  Far from it and that is one reason for my appreciation of HIS intense Agape Love in my life.

Paul further wrote:

20 But the truth is, Christ is risen from the dead, as the firstfruit of a great resurrection harvest of those who have died. 21 For since death came through a man, Adam, it is fitting that the resurrection of the dead has also come through a man, Christ. 22 Even as all who are in Adam die, so also all who are in Christ will be made alive. 23 But each one in his proper order: Christ, the firstfruits, then those who belong to Christ in His presence.

I belong to Christ and so do you who have given your lives over to Him.  We can enter into His presence, not on our own merits but by HIS undying Love for us.  Paul understood this revelation especially having been a known enemy to Christ before his encounter with Jesus.

57 But we thank GOD Our Father for giving us the victory as conquerors through our Lord Jesus, the Anointed One. 58 So now, beloved ones, stand firm and secure. Live your lives with an unshakable confidence. We know that we prosper and excel in every season by serving the Lord, because we are assured that our union with the Lord makes our labor productive with fruit that endures.

When we live in FATHER’S “Normal”, we produce fruit that endures.  That should be our expectation as we walk out each day.

Finding Normal

May 1st, 2020

My wife and I recently watched a movie on Pureflix titled “Finding Normal”.  A female doctor was traveling cross country through Louisiana and was stopped for speeding just outside of a town named “Normal”.  She was arrested for the multiple traffic tickets she never paid in Los Angeles.  In the course of the movie, she discovered what “normal” really is in this small town.  FATHER intends for us to discover HIS normal rather than living according to the world’s “abnormal” disguised as normal.

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

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.

We are to live in that rich knowledge revealed to us by FATHER and Jesus Christ.  There are those who are satisfied with gazing at “normal” from a distance and go about their daily lives pursuing the temporary nature of “abnormal”.  They fail to realize the benefits of grace and perfect peace.  Once you have tasted perfect peace, returning to the previous walk has absolutely no appeal.  Peter continued:

3 Everything we could ever need for life and complete devotion to GOD 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 you can experience partnership with the Divine Nature, by which you have escaped the corrupt desires that are of the world.

I urge you to ponder this passage and not allow the revelation contained therein to escape your understanding.  Everything we need has been deposited in each of us by FATHER’S Divine Power awaiting our access. 

Men’s soulish understanding would have us believe that we must wait for some feast day or travel to some destination where FATHER has shown up in the past to experience HIS Normal.  Their minds keep throwing out the thoughts which begin with “If I could only…”.  Peter clearly states where that Divine Power resides.  The issue is one of disconnect and lack of true understanding.

FATHER has called each of us by name.  Do you really think that you are reading these words by coincidence?  FATHER is moving us forward and upward, line by line, revelation by revelation.

FATHER is inviting us to come to HIM through the revelation of this glorious manifestation of his goodness but we must embrace and fully accept these Words which are meant specifically for us today.  Furthermore, through the power of these tremendous promises we can experience partnership with the Divine Nature once and for all.

FATHER has called us “partners” if we are willing to accept and walk in this designation of our relationship with HIM.  HE has given us power to become Sons and Daughters but we must accept HIS power and walk in It.  This is what HE calls “normal”.  Are we ready to find “normal” and stay there?  I am and trust you are too.

Gold, Silver, and Precious Stones

April 30th, 2020

I thank FATHER everyday for illuminating HIS Word to us in a deeper way.  The Holy Spirit was given to reside in each of us.  When we allow Him into our temple and take up residence, He can and will displace fear, uncertainty, and doubt in our lives.  Jesus was given to us as our Foundation, the Cornerstone of our own temple.  As we yield to the Light, darkness cannot prevail thus deeper revelation comes forth and our eyes are opened to Agape Love allowing us to walk as Jesus walked.

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in 1 Corinthians chapter 3:

10 According to the grace of God which was given to me, as a wise master builder I have laid the foundation, and another builds on it. But let each one take heed how he builds on it. 11 For no other foundation can anyone lay than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ. 12 Now if anyone builds on this foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw, 13 each one’s work will become clear; for the Day will declare it, because it will be revealed by fire; and the fire will test each one’s work, of what sort it is. 14 If anyone’s work which he has built on it endures, he will receive a reward. 15 If anyone’s work is burned, he will suffer loss; but he himself will be saved, yet so as through fire.

16 Do you not know that you are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you? 17 If anyone defiles the temple of God, God will destroy him. For the temple of God is holy, which temple you are.

Your works and my works will ultimately be judged by FATHER.  Our words and actions are being recorded for that Day.  All of the wood, hay, and stubble will be burned up and every idle, unproductive word will be judged.  What we do with the intent of Agape Love is deemed precious in the sight of THE LORD.  Our giving to impoverished children is very special to FATHER and our reward will be great on that Day.

What materials are you using in building your individual foundation?  I purpose to build only with gold, silver, and precious stones.  I have built enough “temporary housing” to last a lifetime.  Yes, it was a waste of time and resources thus requiring me to repent.  I was ineffective because I was motivated by my soul rather than by my spirit and disregarded the warnings given to me by The Holy Spirit.  After my “corrective interview” with FATHER, I returned to that straight and narrow path.

In Colossians chapter 3, Paul wrote in response to The Holy Spirit:

23 And whatever you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord and not to men, 24 knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance; for you serve the Lord Christ. 25 But he who does wrong will be repaid for what he has done, and there is no partiality.

We are to yield to The Holy Spirit in all matters.  We must have the mindset that every word and action should originate out of Agape Love and not out of self interest.  We are here to serve mankind, not lord over them because we have revelation they don’t.  Some men are condescending toward others because they think they are special in some way.  Let us walk lowly in heart as Jesus walked.

Jesus spoke in Matthew chapter 11:

29 “Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.”

When we are led by The Holy Spirit, we are gentle toward others and at peace in ourselves.  Is there anything better than this?

Spirit of Acceptance

April 29th, 2020

It is recorded by The Holy Spirit in Psalm 139:

5 YOU’VE gone into my future to prepare the way,

and in kindness YOU follow behind me

to spare me from the harm of my past.

With YOUR hand of Love upon my life,

YOU impart a blessing to me.

6 This is just too wonderful, deep, and incomprehensible!

YOUR understanding of me brings me wonder and strength.

FATHER not only thought us into being and wrote a book about us based on HIS Divine Intent, HE prepares our future as we walk according to the leading of The Holy Spirit.  Additionally, HE spares us from the harm we created in our past actions and thoughts which were contrary to HIS Word.  Isn’t that the epitome of Agape Love?  Shouldn’t we walk in the same manner toward others?

How can I walk in this same Love?  It is only by maturing in the leading of The Holy Spirit else, my intervention in another person’s life will be less effective.  Who else knows the hearts of men besides FATHER?  What is in a man’s heart is a mystery to you and me but FATHER knows and The Holy Spirit will minister accordingly.

Jesus revealed the ministry of The Holy Spirit to Paul as he wrote by The Holy Spirit in Romans chapter 8:

14 The mature children of GOD are those who are moved by the impulses of the Holy Spirit. 15 And you did not receive the “spirit of religious duty,” leading you back into the fear of never being good enough. But you have received the “Spirit of full acceptance,” enfolding you into the family of GOD. And you will never feel orphaned, for as he rises up within us, our spirits join HIM in saying the words of tender affection, “Beloved Father!” 16 For the Holy Spirit makes GOD’S Fatherhood real to us as He whispers into our innermost being, “You are GOD’S beloved child!”

17 And since we are his true children, we qualify to share all HIS treasures, for indeed, we are heirs of GOD himself. And since we are joined to Christ, we also inherit all that He is and all that He has.

Jesus never missed it when He ministered during His 3 ½ years on earth.  You never heard the disciples correct Him or console Him because of failure.  Jesus got it right every time and we can walk in that same manner as well if we will continue progressing in our development of walking in the fullness of The Holy Spirit.

Agape Love draws and leads me toward full maturity for I want to minister life to those around me.  I now have increased compassion for those who are in need where I can impact their lives in a positive manner.   Jesus had compassion for the poor and needy, so do I.  The stronger are meant to minister to the weaker whereas the worldly seek to exploit the weak for personal gain.

You and I have received the “Spirit of full acceptance” so shouldn’t we promote life and acceptance to others?  The world would tell me that since I have been working and earning money from the age of ten, I have earned the right to put my life on “coast” and kick back.  What if FATHER took that attitude and ceased from HIS Divine Intent coming to manifestation?  As for me, I will continue toward maturing in being led by The Holy Spirit until my last breath!  What else is there that is everlasting?

Agape Love does not cease Its ministry to the poor and needy.  Love will find someone to carry out the Intent of FATHER and it might as well be you and me.  I have no interest in pursuing anything or any area simply to pass the time away.  Everything I focus on should be central to the leading of The Holy Spirit.  I purpose to be led in “when, where, why, and how long” of all my actions so that I reinforce my submission to FATHER’S Divine Intent for my life.  Is it hard?  Sometimes.  Have I screwed up?  More than most I would guess.  However, I have received the “Spirit of full acceptance”, emphasis on “full”.

I share some of my own challenges only to encourage you that each of us has to deal with our own weaknesses as we pursue the full maturity of being led by The Holy Spirit.  Some people attempt to project their lives as having no challenges thus causing the rest of us to feel inferior.  Neither you nor I are inferior in FATHER’S Eyes for HE unconditionally Loves each of us and only wants the best for us.  Passages such as found in Psalm 139 are a comfort to me as I deal with daily challenges in my own life.  Hopefully today’s writing is an encouragement to you in your own walk.

Be Extremely Careful

April 28th, 2020

The Holy Spirit leads me to write daily on topics of His choice, not mine.  I have no interest in simply providing information or knowledge in an attempt to impress the reader.  This ministry which FATHER instructed me to establish, has one major focus- Agape Love, and It was, is, and will continue to be the focus for the duration.

Within Agape Love, the emphasis must be on the Author and Finisher of our faith- Our Lord Jesus Christ and His Words.  Additionally, that same emphasis must be placed on the importance of The Holy Spirit sent specifically by Jesus to continue and increase the spreading of the Gospel.  We must not deemphasize Their importance in our daily preparation to walk in the fullness as Sons and Daughters.  Those that do will end up having a form of godliness and are denying the power thereof, we are instructed to turn away from such teachings.

So, who am I writing to on a daily basis?  I’m writing to the Chosen Ones who are wrapped in the love of FATHER GOD—kept and guarded for Jesus, the Messiah. May GOD’S mercy, peace, and Agape Love cascade over you!  If you are reading and drawn to these Truths, you are surely being led by The Holy Spirit.  I have no other motivation or intent but to spread the true, empowering Gospel.  I have no time or interest in “academic” pursuits.  Exalting FATHER, Jesus Christ, and The Holy Spirit is the priority of these writings.  As a matter of undeniable fact:

To the One with enough power to prevent us from stumbling into sin and bring us faultless before HIS glorious presence to stand before him with ecstatic delight, to the only GOD our Savior, through our Lord Jesus Christ, be endless glory and majesty, great power and authority—from before HE created time, now, and throughout all the ages of eternity.

Information will not keep us from sin and neither will knowledge.  Being led by The Holy Spirit on a daily basis will keep us out of harm’s way.

Today I felt the need instead to challenge you to vigorously defend and contend for the beliefs that we cherish. For GOD, through the apostles, has once for all entrusted these Truths to HIS Holy believers.

There have been some who have sneaked in among you unnoticed.  They are depraved people whose judgment was prophesied in Scripture a long time ago. They have perverted the message of FATHER’S grace into a license to commit immorality and turn against our only absolute Master, Our Lord Jesus Christ.

The cities of Sodom and Gomorrah and nearby towns gave themselves to sexual immorality and the unnatural desire of different flesh.  Now they all serve as examples of those who experience the punishment of ‘age-lasting” fire.  Do you really think all of the immorality being marketed by the various forms of media will be overlooked by FATHER in HIS Judgment?  Sin is still sin!

Enoch, the seventh direct descendant from Adam, prophesied of their doom when he said, “Look! Here comes the Lord Yahweh with his countless myriads of Holy ones.  HE comes to execute judgment against them all and to convict each one of them for their ungodly deeds and for all the terrible words that ungodly sinners have spoken against HIM.”

These people are always complaining and never satisfied—finding fault with everyone. They follow their own evil desires and their mouths speak scandalous things. They enjoy using seductive flattery to manipulate others.  They are targeting the young and impressionable in order to steer them toward the depths of hell.  Even TV commercials are now promoting debauchery and sin.

But you, my delightfully loved friends, remember the prophecies of the apostles of our Lord Jesus, the Anointed One.  They warned us, “In the last days there will always be mockers, motivated by their own ungodly desires.”  These people cause divisions and are followers of their own natural instincts, devoid of the life of the Spirit.

What are we to do to protect ourselves from the influence such people?  We must constantly and progressively build ourselves up on the foundation of our most Holy faith by praying every moment in the Spirit.  We must fasten our hearts to the Agape Love of GOD and receive the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ, Who gives us eternal life.  How can I be more direct than this?

We must keep being compassionate to those who still have doubts about our walk, and snatch others out of the fire to save them. Let us be merciful over and over to them, but always couple our mercy with the Fear of GOD. Moreover, we must be extremely careful to keep ourselves free from the pollutions of the flesh which can be challenging in today’s constant noise generated by the world.

Agape Love must be our focus and The Holy Spirit will lead us into all Truth.

Pursuing The Fullness

April 27th, 2020

Do you want to walk dominated by The Holy Spirit or walk according to the flesh and self interest?  Contained in Romans chapter 8 is a checklist for the Sons and Daughters to live by.  Either we fully pursue the fullness or we will digress to the ways of the world.  It is our choice.  Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit:

7 It is a fact and the absolute Truth, the mind-set focused on the flesh fights GOD’S plan and refuses to submit to HIS direction, because it cannot! 8 For no matter how hard they try, GOD finds no pleasure with those who are controlled by the flesh. 9 But when the Spirit of Christ empowers your life, you are not dominated by the flesh but by the Spirit. And if you are not joined to the Spirit of the Anointed One, you are not of Him.

10 Now Christ lives his life in you! And even though your body may be dead because of the effects of sin, his life-giving Spirit imparts life to you because you are fully accepted by GOD. 11 Yes, GOD raised Jesus to life! And since GOD’S Spirit of Resurrection lives in you, He will also raise your dying body to life by the same Spirit that breathes life into you!

12 So then, beloved ones, the flesh has no claims on us at all, and we have no further obligation to live in obedience to it. 13 For when you live controlled by the flesh, you are about to die. But if the life of the Spirit puts to death the corrupt ways of the flesh, we then taste His abundant life.

14 The mature children of GOD are those who are moved by the impulses of the Holy Spirit.

If you fight FATHER’S plan, you are subjecting yourself to corruption and death.  Peace will always be just out of reach as you pursue the ways of the world.

If you align yourself with FATHER’S plan for your life, peace will flood your soul and you will gain clarity as the world speaks forth its lies.  The world has reframed the word “lies” by using the term “disinformation”.  They even water down their wicked ways to make them more palatable to the unsuspecting populous.

As we pursue walking in the fullness of The Holy Spirit, we will lose friends but also gain new friends.  We will no longer be subject to the generational curses perpetuated by our families over time.  We will no longer accept evil words being spoken over us for they will no longer be enforceable in our lives.

When I first received the revelation of generational curses and how they get transferred from generation to generation, I felt victimized by those family members who kept walking in the flesh according to the curses.  I am no longer a victim and have overcome and annulled those curses in my family.  “The buck stopped with me.”  Familiar spirits have lost their stronghold on my family ties and had to depart from our midst.

As I pray in The Holy Spirit, I build myself up in my spirit as it is written in Jude 1:

20 But you, my delightfully loved friends, constantly and progressively build yourselves up on the foundation of your most holy faith by praying every moment in the Spirit. 21 Fasten your hearts to the love of GOD and receive the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ, who gives us eternal life.

When we pray in the Holy Spirit, we fasten our hearts to HIS Love.  What a promise!  I don’t pray in Tongues out of duty, I pray in Tongues because I seek to become fully mature in Agape Love.  This is the true key to success.
