Do not worry!  Do not be afraid.

You and I have chosen to serve GOD thus we walk in the light.  Others have chosen to walk in darkness and they are against us for they are the enemies of Christ.  This is the reality of where we are at.  We must trust in our covenant with FATHER and HE will lead and guide us through the current chaos by keeping us on our designated GOD-ordained path.

It is written by The Holy Spirit in 2 Samuel, chapter 22:

29 ​​“For You are my lamp, O LORD;

​​The LORD shall enlighten my darkness.

You and I are meant to run to the light which dissipates fear, uncertainty, and doubt.

30 ​​For by You I can run against a troop (In your strength I can crush an army);

​​By my God I can leap over a wall (with my God I can scale any wall).

Is there anything restricting you?  FATHER will empower you to scale any wall hindering your walk.  I am to yield to The Holy Spirit, walk in Agape Love, and believe HIS Word.  You are meant to do the same.

31 ​​As for God, His way is perfect;

​​The word of the LORD is proven;

​​He is a shield to all who trust in Him.​

HIS chosen way for you is perfect!  HE chose your path before HE formed you in the womb and HE is lighting that path so there will be no darkness or uncertainty.

32 ​​“For who is God, except the LORD?

​​And who is a rock, except our God?

33 ​​God is my strength and power,

​​And He makes my way perfect.

34 ​​He makes my feet like the feet of deer,

​​And sets me on my high places.

FATHER wants us to ascend to a higher revelation in all areas of our life and walk in that higher level of revelation.

35 ​​He teaches my hands to make war,

​​So that my arms can bend a bow of bronze.

FATHER is strengthening you and me to make war with the adversary and his minions.  We are being prepared to discern the spiritual as we deal with the physical so that we will make appropriate moves and speak according to The Holy Spirit in all situations.  Fear will not be found among us.​

36 ​​“You have also given me the shield of Your victorious salvation;

​​Your gentleness has made me great.

37 ​​You enlarged my path under me;

​​So my feet did not slip.​

There are no restrictions to those of us who are embracing this path FATHER has us on.  We will not slip or fall away but we will be surefooted in every step we take.

38 ​​“I have pursued my enemies and destroyed them;

​​Neither did I turn back again till they were destroyed.”

FATHER expects nothing less than the best of us.  HE has appointed us for this time to fulfill HIS Divine Intent on earth.  HE has been training us to pursue our enemies and conquer every one of them.  The harvest is at hand and no attempt to isolate us from each other will prevent the harvest from going forth.

We are being trained to enforce the Absolute Truth on earth.  In Psalm 139, The Holy Spirit revealed to each of us:

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.

FATHER planned for you to read this today and it is not by chance or coincidence that you are reading these words given by The Holy Spirit for your preparation and training.   We are to do everything in Love and come into complete unity.  Each of us is accepting what was written in our individual books written in Heaven.

The Holy Spirit further revealed in Psalm 16:

11 You will show me the path of life;

In Your presence is fullness of joy;

At Your right hand are pleasures forevermore.

FATHER’S presence is on the path of life we are ordained to follow.  Where else would any of us want to be?  Let us each embrace HIS path and prepare to harvest.

Ps 18:

35 You have also given me the shield of Your salvation;

Your right hand has held me up,

Your gentleness has made me great.

36 You enlarged my path under me,

So my feet did not slip.

The Preparation of The Heart and The Approaching Passover

As we approach the coming Passover we are entering into a New Day where the Lord will be summoning many out of the plague of Egyptian Mindsets. Yes there is a New Age upon us and we’re stepping into where the Lord is to lead many into new kingdom territory that’s been contended for years from the place of prayer. During this passover there is a fiery preparation of hearts that are choosing to sit and rest around Him as the Sacrificial Lamb of God that has been slain. These that gather around the Passover Lamb in this kairos moment are learning to shut down the noise of this world and specifically the accuser of the brethren as they shut themselves into an inward place of self-examination before the Coming King.

Beloved, there is a call to repent being sounded throughout the Nations. The Spirit is longing to draw many into His Goodness that can only come by walking thru the Door of Repentance that chooses to place their full trust in God and quit leaning on men. Beloved, there is a great revealing of His Glory to come and yet there is also a great exposing of the wickedness that has been rooting in men’s hearts that has led us to self-righteousness, lies, devising wicked plans, false witness and the sowing of discord amongst the brethren. All of these things the Lord states His utter hatred in Proverbs 6 and states His plan of action in Revelation 2:16 where he says Repent or I will make war against you with the Sword of My Mouth.

Beloved, It’s time to search our hearts and get right with Our God as we fall upon His Goodness & Mercy and break up our fallow ground. Beloved, the Father of Lights is searching the earth and is looking for The Faithful Ones that have chosen to mark their homes with the Blood which is the very Agreement of His Word. The pressure is building all around us and causing what’s inside of out hearts to be revealed as every foundation will be laid bare. Beloved, can we not see that the utter defiance of His Ways and disobedience to His Voice has led many astray into the slavery of men’s opinions and the valleys of self-preservation yet He’s calling us to a Higher Standard.

Beloved, may we hear His Voice in this hour as we flee from every work of darkness and place our trust fully in Him. Beloved, it’s time to rend our hearts and not our soiled garments of unbelief and self-righteousness. Yes there’s a remnant of those that will move into trainability and submission to His Truth while there will also be many that chose to rebel in their hearts and thus relying more on the flesh and traditions of men rather than turn to One that has the power to cleanse and heal them.

Beloved, He is Here as Refiner, Builder and The All Consuming Fire. May we be ready as He is Passing Over us in ways that we cannot even fathom so we can follow His Headship as He leads us out of the gates of Egypt. It’s time to ask Him to search us and know us and see if there be any wicked way within me. (Note that it starts with the person looking in the mirror)

May we be found Faithful and Find the Door of Repentance.

In Him,

Habakkuk 1:5

“Look among the nations! Observe! Be astonished! Wonder! Because I am doing something in your days– You would not believe if you were told.

Hebrews 3:7-15

Therefore, as the Holy Spirit says:

“Today, if you will hear His voice,

Do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion,

In the day of trial in the wilderness,

Where your fathers tested Me, tried Me,

And saw My works forty years.

Therefore I was angry with that generation,

And said, ‘They always go astray in their heart,

And they have not known My ways.’

So I swore in My wrath,

‘They shall not enter My rest.’ ”

Beware, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief in departing from the living God; but exhort one another daily, while it is called “Today,” lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin. For we have become partakers of Christ if we hold the beginning of our confidence steadfast to the end, while it is said:

“Today, if you will hear His voice,

Do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion.”

The highest point of deception is when you don’t know you are deceived. This is why it is imperative that we be led by The Holy Spirit.

We have been warned!

Isaiah wrote by The Holy Spirit in chapter 35:

​8 ​​A highway shall be there, and a road,

​​And it shall be called the Highway of Holiness.

​​The unclean shall not pass over it,

​​But it shall be for others.

​​Whoever walks the road,

​​Shall not go astray (a fool will not accidently find his way to this road, you cease to be a fool when you get on this Highway).

Once we repent and become qualified to walk on the Highway of Holiness, we should “therefore bear fruits worthy of repentance” (Matthew 3:8).  We must continue to turn away from our old ways and not “exit” the Highway and become lost.

We turn away from old ways and produce fruit for the Kingdom.  We transfer ownership to FATHER WHO is Holy and we become Holy ourselves.  We hand over our finances to HIM and HE begins to bless whatever we set our hand to on this earth.  The tithe affirms HIS ownership.

The world will try to get your attention and cause you to look away and redirect your focus to its ways causing to leave the Highway of Holiness.  Alternative paths will lead to destruction.

The entrance to the Highway of Holiness is narrow and people will not accidentally access this Highway.  Jesus spoke in Matthew chapter 7:

13 “Come to God through the narrow gate, because the wide gate and broad path is the way that leads to destruction—nearly everyone chooses that crowded road! 14 The narrow gate and the difficult way leads to eternal life—so few even find it!”

If something causes you to draw away from this Highway or path, repent and return you focus toward Jesus Who leads us on this Highway of Holiness.  To reiterate, Holiness is ownership thus we are fully submitted to be led by The Holy Spirit no matter what the world says or does.

On the day we celebrate as Palm Sunday, Jesus proceeded on the “Highway of Holiness” and Luke recorded by The Holy Spirit in chapter 19:

28 After saying all of this, Jesus headed straight for Jerusalem. 29 When He arrived at the stables of Annia near the Mount of Olives, He sent two of his disciples ahead, saying, 30 “When you enter the next village, you will find tethered there a donkey’s young colt that has never been ridden. Untie it and bring it to me. 31 And if anyone stops you and asks, ‘What are you doing?’ just tell them this: ‘It is needed for the Lord of All.’”

32 The two who were sent entered the village and found the colt exactly like Jesus had said. 33 While they were untying the colt, the owners approached them and asked, “What are you doing?”

34 The disciples replied, “We need this donkey for the Lord of All.”

35–36 They brought the colt to Jesus. Then they placed their prayer shawls on its back, and Jesus rode it as he descended the Mount of Olives toward Jerusalem. As He rode along, people spontaneously threw their prayer shawls on the path in front of Him like a carpet.

FATHER’S ownership of the colt superseded that of the man in the village and there was no debate or argument concerning ownership.  This Highway had prayer as its foundation with people being led to lay down their prayer shawls on the path.  Additionally, this path led Jesus to the crucifixion and represents us leading a crucified life as well.  Today commemorates  us putting “self” to death and acknowledging FATHER’S full and complete ownership.

And the people shouted over and over, “Highest praises to GOD for the One who comes as King in the name of the LORD! Heaven’s peace and glory from the highest realm now comes to us!”

Thank you for your tithes and joyful offerings supporting Servias Ministries.  My wife and I deem it an honor and privilege to tithe into Servias ourselves.  We fully comprehend the importance to help impoverished children which is where most if not all of the money we receive is distributed.  Our overhead is low and we pay no salaries because FATHER provides our needs through other means.

Jesus expressed His priority for the poor in the story of the rich young ruler.  In Matthew chapter 19, Jesus spoke:

21 Jesus said to him, “If you want to be perfect, go, sell what you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in Heaven; and come, follow Me.”

22 But when the young man heard that saying, he went away sorrowful, for he had great possessions.

The young man failed to understand that giving his past wealth was an investment in his future wealth which would be much more precious and abundant.

Earlier in Matthew 19, Jesus corrected the disciples concerning children:

13 Then little children were brought to Him that He might put His hands on them and pray, but the disciples rebuked them. 14 But Jesus said, “Let the little children come to Me, and do not forbid them; for of such is the kingdom of heaven.” 15 And He laid His hands on them and departed from there.

Our assistance directed to impoverished children is a high priority as it is with Our Heavenly Father WHO directed HIS Son to speak concerning the poor and children in the above passages.

In Hebrews chapter 11, it is written by The Holy Spirit:

5 By faith Enoch was taken away so that he did not see death, “and was not found, because God had taken him”; for before he was taken he had this testimony, that he pleased GOD. 6 But without faith it is impossible to please HIM, for he who comes to GOD must believe that He is, and that HE is a rewarder of those who diligently seek HIM.

Every morning I diligently seek FATHER and desire to find out what is on HIS Mind.  As I pray in The Holy Spirit, HE often provides me with people to lift up in prayer.  My desire is to be fully pleasing to HIM in every aspect of my life as I walk out each day.  I want my heart to be 100% pure and this can only be accomplished by Holy fire.

Our destiny is on the other side of the Holy fire.  Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in 1 Thessalonians chapter 5:

19 Never restrain or put out the fire of the Holy Spirit. 20 And don’t be one who scorns prophecies, 21 but be faithful to examine them by putting them to the test, and afterward hold tightly to what has proven to be right.

When we have a pure heart, we are able to discern prophecies through examination.  There are many false prophets who would redirect our focus away from the Holy fire to various and sundry events around the world.  Many of the sheep go astray because they are unable to properly examine the prophecies and put them to test.  It’s one thing to speak forth an opinion, everybody has one, but it is another thing to claim your opinion is a prophecy from the Throne Room.

Paul also wrote by The Holy Spirit in 2 Timothy chapter 1:

6 I’m writing to encourage you to fan into a flame and rekindle the fire of the spiritual gift GOD imparted to you when I laid my hands upon you. 7 For GOD will never give you the spirit of fear, but the Holy Spirit who gives you mighty power, Love, and self-control.

The current pandemic promotes fear among the population and the media promotes fear in order to gain viewers and advertising revenue.  Fear and greed go hand in hand.  When we fan the flame and rekindle the Holy fire of The Holy Spirit, we walk above fear and control “self“.  This results in us walking in Agape Love and power.  We then promote peace and certainty to those around us.

In Hebrews chapter 12, it is written by The Holy Spirit:

29 For our GOD is a Holy, devouring fire!

You and I need to run to the Holy fire, not away from it.  I want all the dross to be burned out and removed from me, not my will but HIS.  Paul wrote by THE SPIRIT in Romans chapter 12:

1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of GOD, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, Holy, acceptable to GOD, which is your reasonable service. 2 And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of GOD.

It is not unreasonable to sacrifice ourselves to the Holy, devouring fire.  Only by doing this can we truly know the perfect will of FATHER.  Men have tried to accomplish this by exhaustive study but without the Holy fire.  They have fallen short even though they have convinced many otherwise.  When we are purified by the Holy fire, we are able to “prove” what is the Absolute Truth versus man’s limited view of what they think is Truth even though they may overwhelm us with “facts” which are subject to change.

As Paul stated, “For I determined not to know anything among you except Jesus Christ and Him crucified”.  I am not interested in man’s opinions but only FATHER’S absolute Truth to guide me each and every day. 

Do I have the intimate relationship with FATHER I fully desire? 

Do I want to be known as a minister of the Gospel (what I do) or as a Son of GOD (Who I am)?  As for me, fully walking in an intimate relationship as a Son is my focus.  Without HIM, I am nothing.  The ministry is a result of who I am thus the ministry will be empowered by My Heavenly Father and HE will guide me in all areas.

We have the power and authority to follow Jesus and become imitators of Him.  There is a difference in knowing the Scriptures in this area and walking in the revelation of being an imitator of Christ.  Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Romans chapter 12:

1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service. 2 And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

The above directive requires commitment on our part.  Commitment is what is left after the emotion of the moment has passed.  People will start the year committed to lose weight but their commitment often wanes after a short time and nothing has changed.

How committed are you to daily presenting yourself to FATHER?  I do not look at it as a duty or obligation but instead it is an honor and privilege to do so.  I know that if I have become a fully mature Son, the ministry and results will follow.  In the past, most have not considered an intimate relationship and have moved directly to ministering in whatever capacity of their anointing.  Solomon did not ask for riches but instead asked for Wisdom.  Wealth came as a byproduct of walking in Wisdom from Above.

The adversary wants to distract us from this Truth.  Without the proper foundation of intimacy with FATHER, any ministry we walk in will have a shaky foundation.  A wrong foundation results in wrong results.

In Galatians chapter 2, Paul also wrote by The Holy Spirit:

20 I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me.

The two principles expressed here are: die to self and live by faith.  Jesus spoke in Luke chapter 9:

23 Jesus said to all of his followers, “If you truly desire to be my disciple, you must disown your life completely, embrace my ‘cross’ as your own, and surrender to my ways. 24 For if you choose self-sacrifice, giving up your lives for my glory, you will embark on a discovery of more and more of true life. But if you choose to keep your lives for yourselves, you will lose what you try to keep. 25 Even if you gained all the wealth and power of this world, everything it could offer you, yet lost your soul in the process, what good is that? 26 So why then are you ashamed of being my disciple? Are you ashamed of the revelation-truth I give to you?

“I, the Son of Man, will one day return in my radiant brightness, with the Holy angels and in the splendor and majesty of my Father, and I will be ashamed of all who are ashamed of me. 27 But I promise you this: there are some of you standing here right now who will not die until you have witnessed the presence and the power of God’s Kingdom realm.”

There is not one thing more important at this hour than pressing in to that level of intimacy with FATHER, Lord Jesus, and The Holy Spirit.  The Holy Spirit will lead us into the Holy of Holies where Agape Love prevails in all areas of our life.  What better foundation can we have than that of the Presence of FATHER!

In order for you and I to have a supernatural ministry toward others, we must have a supernatural and intimate relationship with THE FATHER, Son, and Holy Spirit as a foundation.  We must have an intimacy beyond what has been preached in the past.  Many had the anointing but without the foundation of intimacy and they ultimately “crashed and burned”.  In Matthew chapter 7, Jesus spoke:

21 “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. 22 Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’ 23 And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’

Someone who is intimate with Christ will not practice lawlessness.  In Acts chapter 1, Jesus had spent forty days preparing the disciples to have a relationship with The Holy Spirit.  He spoke:

8  “But you shall receive power when (after) the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.”

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

12 But as many as received Him, to them He gave the authority to become Sons of GOD, to those who believe in HIS Name

We must understand our sonship through Jesus Christ.  This is our state of who we are versus what we do.  We are to be imitators of GOD as Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Ephesians chapter 5:

1   Be imitators of God in everything you do, for then you will represent your Father as his beloved sons and daughters.

Our intimate relationship with FATHER will result in empowerment to properly represent HIM to the world.  Signs and wonders shall follow us as we minister in this fallen world.

Jesus responded to the devil and He 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.’ ”

When we “imitate” Christ, we want to fully and complete walk according to every Word that proceeds from FATHER, without exception.  If we couldn’t do that, Jesus would not have expressed it when He responded to the devil.  We have the sufficiency in Christ to walk as He walked or else we would not be able to do greater works.  In Matthew chapter 28, Jesus spoke:

18 Then Jesus came close to them and said, “All the authority of the universe has been given to me. 19 Now go in my authority and make disciples (mathēteuō) of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. 20 And teach them to faithfully follow all that I have commanded you. And never forget that I am with you every day, even to the completion of this age.”

The word “mathēteuō” means to become a student and walk with the teacher resulting in you thinking like the teacher, talking like the teacher, and acting like the teacher.  Only those with an intimate relationship will walk in this fruitful walk.  You and I have been Divinely appointed to walk in this manner.  This is what it means to be under the Lordship of Jesus Christ.

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in 1 Corinthians chapter 11:

1 Imitate me, just as I also imitate Christ.

The Lordship of Jesus Christ must be at the forefront of our daily lives.  If we think like Jesus, talk like Jesus, and act like Jesus, we will have a relationship with FATHER like Jesus resulting in a ministry like Jesus.

Finally, as Hebrews chapter 12 states:

1 Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, 2 looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.

From beginning to end, let us imitate Jesus Christ in every aspect of our being.
