The Holy Spirit expressed FATHER’S awesome splendor in Psalm 19.  What you get out of this Psalm depends on the current state of your heart.  If it is truly grateful for HIS magnificence, then you will read the following verses with great reverence.  The absolute Truth purges, cleanses, and sifts away the dross in our hearts.  When this happens, our perspective changes and we begin to see the unfathomable Love FATHER has for us.

1 GOD’S splendor is a tale that is told;

HIS testament is written in the stars.

Space itself speaks HIS story every day

through the marvels of the heavens.

HIS truth is on tour in the starry vault of the sky,

showing HIS skill in creation’s craftsmanship.

2 Each day gushes out its message to the next,

night with night whispering its knowledge to all.

3 Without a sound, without a word, without a voice being heard,

4 Yet all the world can see its story.

Everywhere its gospel is clearly read so all may know.

5 What a heavenly home GOD has set for the sun,

shining in the superdome of the sky!

See how he leaves HIS celestial chamber each morning,

radiant as a bridegroom ready for HIS wedding,

like a day-breaking champion eager to run HIS course.

6 He rises on one horizon, completing HIS circuit on the other,

warming lives and lands with HIS heat.

7 GOD’s Word is perfect in every way;

how it revives (converting) our souls!

HIS laws lead us to truth,

and HIS ways change the simple into wise.

8 HIS teachings make us joyful and radiate HIS light;

HIS precepts are so pure!

HIS commands, how they challenge us to keep close to HIS heart!

The revelation-light of HIS word makes my spirit shine radiant.

9 Every one of the Lord’s commands is right (The fear of the LORD is clean, enduring forever);

following them brings cheer.

Nothing he says ever needs to be changed (The judgments of the LORD are true and righteous altogether.).

10 The rarest treasures of life are found in HIS truth.

That’s why I prize GOD’s word like others prize the finest gold.

Nothing brings the soul such sweetness

as seeking HIS living words.

11 For they warn us, HIS servants,

and keep us from following the wicked way,

giving a lifetime guarantee:

great success to every obedient soul!

12 Without this revelation-light,

how would I ever detect the waywardness of my heart?

Lord, forgive my hidden flaws whenever you find them.

13 Keep cleansing me, GOD,

and keep me from my secret, selfish sins;

may they never rule over me!

For only then will I be free from fault

and remain innocent of rebellion.

14 So may the words of my mouth, my meditation-thoughts,

and every movement of my heart be always pure and pleasing,

acceptable before your eyes,

my only Redeemer, my Protector-GOD.

If FATHER’S Word is perfect in every way, I have no need of my own opinion.  Whatever FATHER says, that’s it!  Absolute Truth does not need an additional commentary from my limited experience.  What could I add which would be deemed beneficial?  Nothing!

When we relinquish our will to FATHER, we acknowledge HIS ownership of us individually.  This is when we can truly call HIM LORD.  When we come to this point, our mind can and will be fully renewed… without limitation. 

The Holy Spirit recorded in Proverbs chapter 3:

5 Trust in the Lord completely,

and do not rely on your own opinions.

With all your heart rely on him to guide you,

and he will lead you in every decision you make.

6 Become intimate with him in whatever you do,

and he will lead you wherever you go.

7 Don’t think for a moment that you know it all,

for wisdom comes when you adore him with undivided devotion

and avoid everything that’s wrong.

8 Then you will find the healing refreshment

your body and spirit long for.

9 Glorify God with all your wealth,

honoring him with your very best,

with every increase that comes to you.

10 Then every dimension of your life will overflow with blessings

from an uncontainable source of inner joy!

Our desire should be to walk as the full expression of Our Lord Jesus Christ to everyone we encounter.  As we do, we should expect an overflow of blessings and uncontainable joy in our hearts.  For this to happen, we cannot hold anything back which is under our control.  This includes time, priorities, thought life, and resources.

The firstfruits of our day should be given to FATHER.  If we do this, the day will have HIS blessing on it and HE is able to multiply many aspects of our daily living.  The day just goes better and the roadblocks get removed.  Some of those roadblocks are removed without our realization and I am thankful for HIM sending the angels before me for my protection.  If I honor FATHER by giving HIM my very best, then every aspect of my life will overflow with blessings.

Until you overcome the “giving” issue, your maturing process will be hindered.  I had to overcome it years ago and it was directly related to the “trust issue”.  Did I really trust FATHER’S Word enough to let go of what we call hard-earned money?  Once I overcame my own self-oriented survival orientation (promoted by the world), FATHER’S economy was revealed to me and I have been able to experience it in my own life.

I am expecting a notable acceleration of Spiritual activity and I am determined not to miss being a part of it.  I hope you share this anticipation and commitment as well.  Those of us who are willing to fully align ourselves with FATHER’S plan, will experience a unity beyond what we have seen in the past.  It is going to be an exciting year!

What is our mandate this year?  It is found in the Words of Jesus in Luke chapter 11:

11 One day, as Jesus was in prayer, one of his disciples came over to him as he finished and said, “Would you teach us a model prayer that we can pray, just like John did for his disciples?”

2 So Jesus taught them this prayer: “Our heavenly Father, may the glory of your name be the center on which our life turns. May your Holy Spirit come upon us and cleanse us. Manifest your kingdom on earth. 3 And give us our needed bread for the coming day. 4 Forgive our sins as we ourselves release forgiveness to those who have wronged us. And rescue us every time we face tribulations.”

Jesus stated what their expectation should be when they prayed: Cleansed, sifted, and pure hearts by The Holy Spirit, then manifest FATHER’S Kingdom on earth.  This should be our priority in the same order and all else is of limited or no value in us becoming mature Sons and Daughters.  Every task we accomplish in our daily lives should never be far or disconnected from our mandate.  We need to “walk the walk”, not just “talk the talk”.

After His resurrection, Jesus once again stated the above priority to the disciples in Mark chapter 16:

14 Then Jesus appeared before the eleven apostles as they were eating a meal. He corrected them for having such hard, unbelieving hearts because they did not believe those who saw him after his resurrection.

The very first thing He had to do was to expose and correct their unbelief.  Are you and I in this category?  Is unbelief limiting us from establishing His Kingdom on earth?  Jesus gave us a clear and simple mandate but man has diluted this mandate with unbelief and limiting doctrines.  Failure is not an option in Heaven.  How many times did Jesus tell the disciples what to expect when He went to Jerusalem?  They spent 3 ½ years with Him seeing miracles from Heaven yet their hearts were hardened with unbelief.  After correcting them He spoke:

15 And he said to them, “As you go into all the world, preach openly the wonderful news of the gospel to the entire human race! 16 Whoever believes the good news and is baptized will be saved, and whoever does not believe the good news will be condemned. 17 And these miracle signs will accompany those who believe: They will drive out demons in the power of my name. They will speak in tongues. 18 They will be supernaturally protected from snakes and from drinking anything poisonous.  And they will lay hands on the sick and heal them.”

You and I have the same mandate but if our hearts are hardened with unbelief, we will do nothing concerning this mandate.  Yes, we may mentally accept His Words but until unbelief is removed, we will simply be passive observers at best.  What was the next topic Jesus covered after directing the disciples to pray?  He further spoke in Luke chapter 11:

5 Then Jesus gave this illustration: “Imagine what would happen if you were to go to one of your friends in the middle of the night and pound on his door and shout, ‘Please! Do you have some food you can spare? 6 A friend just arrived at my house unexpectedly and I have nothing to serve him.’ 7 But your friend says, ‘Why are you bothering me? The door’s locked and my family and I are all in bed. Do you expect me to get up and give you our food?’ 8 But listen—because of your shameless impudence, even though it’s the middle of the night, your friend will get up out of his bed and give you all that you need. 9–10 So it is with your prayers. Ask and you’ll receive. Seek and you’ll discover. Knock on heaven’s door, and it will one day open for you. Every persistent person will get what he asks for. Every persistent seeker will discover what he needs. And everyone who knocks persistently will one day find an open door.

One who is persistent will get what he asks for.  Our persistence conveys our belief and trust in FATHER’S Word.  The word “try” is not in the vocabulary in Heaven and it is not written in your book written by FATHER (Psalm 139:16).  As we are persistent, our book will be fully revealed and those angels who are assigned to administer the contents of those books will be activated on our behalf.  Don’t allow unbelief to keep the contents of your book kept from you.  As you are persistent and establish faith IN GOD, the pages of your book will become available to you.

Do you think FATHER would write your book and fail to set assign resources to accomplish what you are to fulfill?  The adversary knows that if your unbelief keeps those resources from being dispatched, your mind will stay convinced of the “scarcity doctrine” and rationalize why you can’t fulfill the mandate given to us by Jesus.  Your heart will be hardened in this area and you will defend this belief by discounting any teaching concerning FATHER’S willingness to prosper us as we establish HIS Kingdom on earth.

The year 2020 will force a reckoning of where we all stand concerning the mandate to establish FATHER’S Kingdom on earth.  We will individually be asked, “What did you do with what was available to you?”  “Did you hide your light under a bushel?”

The adversary has promoted the excuse “Money is the root of all evil” and many believers have bought into this half truth as justification for their unbelief in the area of financial blessing.  This year, I plan to deal with this error even though it will surely offend some.  Why would FATHER use me to deal with this sensitive subject?  I have had the revelation of blessing and prosperity for decades, trusting and relying on HIM.  Many of the five-fold ministries unfortunately rely on your giving to keep them afloat.  I don’t thus I don’t have to be reluctant to share what The Holy Spirit wants me to write.  My wife and I give to Servias Ministries as well as other areas as many of you do.  Jesus lost followers when He spoke about finances.  The rich young ruler in Matthew 19 was one.  Greed is one of the core areas exposed in people’s hearts because the world constant promotes the falsehood of scarcity on earth.

By the way, the census conducted years ago which included a silver coin, continues to be in safekeeping in the Treasury of THE LORD until HE directs us to deploy it.  All coins are accounted for and none have been removed.  Those coins are separated and Holy and will remain in the Treasury until deployment.

If you don’t believe you can be one of those who fund the Kingdom of Our Heavenly Father, you won’t!  If you have no expectation of financial blessing, the windows of Heaven will remain closed in that area.  If you have no expectation of healing, those same windows will remain shut.  We need to have faith IN GOD which means we need to trust in HIS Word in all areas if we are to fulfill HIS mandate on earth.

The immature will probably get offended by some of the Truths which will come forth this year.  It only reveals where their hearts are.  Now is the time to step up and establish the Kingdom on earth… your resources and finances are included in HIS mandate.  It will require great faith and complete trust in FATHER’S Word.  Many are called but few are chosen.  These blogs are directed to chose who wish to be chosen.  Let’s not simply be observers of what FATHER is doing on earth.  Let you and I be counted among the chosen, without restriction or hesitation.

Jesus spoke in Matthew chapter 6:

1 “Examine your motives to make sure you’re not showing off when you do your good deeds, only to be admired by others; otherwise, you will lose the reward of your heavenly Father. 2 So when you give to the poor, don’t announce it and make a show of it just to be seen by people, like the hypocrites in the streets and in the marketplace. They’ve already received their reward! 3 But when you demonstrate generosity, do it with pure motives and without drawing attention to yourself. 4 Give secretly and your Father, who sees all you do, will reward you openly.”

Would you rather receive a reward from man or from Our Heavenly Father?  Our motives for giving should be pure and without consideration of promoting oneself.  As we submit to The Holy Spirit in our giving, we will open up the storehouses of Heaven and allow FATHER to extend resources to us for the furthering of the Kingdom.

In Heaven, there is no lack or scarcity yet many believers trust their observations on earth as their basis for expectation of blessing.  If your personal history is one of lack, you must overcome that mentality by building up your trust in FATHER’S Word.  Didn’t Jesus’ ministry focus on changing people’s views by revealing FATHER’S Love and healing the multitudes.  Wasn’t the feeding of five thousand meant to show us that Heaven isn’t restricted by the world’s lack?  The disciples wanted to send them away rather than meet the need at hand.

We are challenged by FATHER to overcome our orientation and perception of lack.  We are bombarded by the world’s view of scarcity on a daily basis but that scarcity is based on lack of revelation.

Does FATHER know where all the wealth on earth exists today?  HE is the One who established value so we should be seeking HIS Face in order to release wealth set aside for bringing forth the Kingdom to earth.  Our only limitation is found in our mind due to lack of revelation.

What is the difference between a curable disease and an incurable disease?  Revelation!  Think about it, the answer is never far away.  As I have experienced in the past concerning finances and release of what is needed, I am only one phone call away from a blessing.  This is true for you too.

When I pray in THE SPIRIT, I open myself up to bringing Heaven to earth and should expect FATHER to reveal HIS plans which support my calling.  HE is not hesitant to dispatch HIS angels on my behalf and they will perform the pure Word for our benefit.  I am expecting a dramatic increase in observed angelic activity in the coming year.  As you and I come to full maturity, we should expect to see in the spirit realm to a greater degree as they minister on our behalf.  They carry the absolute Truth with them as they are dispatched to confirm FATHER’S Word to our individual situations and take needed action specific to our calling which is written in Heaven for them to reference (Psalm 139:16).  The Holy Spirit revealed in Hebrews chapter 1:

14 Are they (angels) not all ministering spirits sent forth to minister for those who will inherit salvation?

The angels have a mandate to administer the absolute Truth from Heaven based on what FATHER has spoken.  Once you grasp this revelation, you will begin to expect blessing to come your way.  Don’t let your mind dilute this revelation by listening to men whose doctrines indicate they have yet to walk in such revelation.  Jesus spoke in Luke 12:

29 I repeat it: Don’t let worry enter your life. Live above the anxious cares about your personal needs. 30 People everywhere seem to worry about making a living, but your heavenly Father knows your every need and will take care of you. 31 Each and every day he will supply your needs as you seek his kingdom passionately, above all else. 32 So don’t ever be afraid, dearest friends! Your loving Father joyously gives you his kingdom realm with all its promises!

33 “So, now, go and sell what you have and give to those in need, making deposits in your account in heaven, an account that will never be taken from you. Your gifts will become a secure and unfailing treasure, deposited in heaven forever. 34 Where you deposit your treasure, that is where your thoughts will turn to—and your heart will long to be there also.”  TPT

Those of us who come to rely on the Word spoken by Jesus will enter into a supernatural rest that the world cannot disengage from us.  It all centers around listening, responding, and enacting what The Holy Spirit directs us on a daily basis.  It is imperative that each of us become comfortable being led by The Holy Spirit this coming year.

Our mandate is to bring Heaven to earth and that is accomplished by walking according to FATHER’S Word and HE will dispatch angels to accomplish that Word on behalf of each of HIS Sons and Daughters.  Now is the time to set your expectation of blessing in your life!

FATHER put two trees in the midst of the garden.  The Holy Spirit revealed in Genesis chapter 2:

8 The LORD God planted a garden eastward in Eden, and there He put the man whom He had formed. 9 And out of the ground the LORD God made every tree grow that is pleasant to the sight and good for food. The tree of life was also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.

FATHER spoke concerning these two trees:

16 And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, “Of every tree of the garden you may freely eat; 17 but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die.”

They could freely eat from the tree of life but not of HIS other tree.  This other tree would bring forth the curse of death in their lives.  What kind of tree was this?  It is written by The Holy Spirit in Genesis chapter 3:

6 So when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree desirable to make one wise, she took of its fruit and ate. She also gave to her husband with her, and he ate. 7 Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together and made themselves coverings.

If you suddenly perceived you were naked, wouldn’t you cover yourself with the closest thing to cover you?  Fig leaves were the most accessible covering available.  Were the leaves from the forbidden tree they used to cover themselves?

Mark recorded by The Holy Spirit in chapter 11:

12 Now the next day, when they had come out from Bethany, He was hungry. 13 And seeing from afar a fig tree having leaves, He went to see if perhaps He would find something on it. When He came to it, He found nothing but leaves, for it was not the season for figs. 14 In response Jesus said to it, “Let no one eat fruit from you ever again.”

And His disciples heard it.

Isn’t it interesting that Jesus cursed the fig tree because it had no fruit EVEN THOUGH it was not the right season for fruit?  Did this tree represent the path of death Adam and Eve chose back in the Garden?  After Jesus cursed the fig tree, He spoke to the disciples about having faith in GOD:

20 Now in the morning, as they passed by, they saw the fig tree dried up from the roots. 21 And Peter, remembering, said to Him, “Rabbi, look! The fig tree which You cursed has withered away.”

22 So Jesus answered and said to them, “Have faith in God. 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. 24 Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them.”

His lesson to the disciples went back to FATHER’S Word in the Garden.  Align yourselves with MY WORD and you will live.  When you do, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them.

When we are obedient to FATHER’S Word, our faith is perfected and there is nothing withheld from us when we pray for we are agreeing with HIS Divine Intent.  This agreement activates HIS Divine power and authority on earth and there is no doubt for we have come to fully trust FATHER to perform HIS Word on our behalf.  We are mature Sons and Daughters who know HIS Ways and will not ask amiss.  Selah!

The Holy Spirit imparted this revelation to King David in Psalm 139:

1 Lord, you know everything there is to know about me.

2 You perceive every movement of my heart and soul,

and you understand my every thought before it even enters my mind.

3–4 You are so intimately aware of me, Lord.

You read my heart like an open book

and you know all the words I’m about to speak

before I even start a sentence!

You know every step I will take before my journey even begins.

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.

Let each of us embrace this message of Love from FATHER and receive HIS blessing today.  You are integral to HIS Divine Intent so do not let anyone convince you otherwise.  Who knows you better than your Creator?  How can men of limited knowledge and understanding speak emphatically as though they have the final say on anything lasting?

Align your thoughts with your spirit by dwelling on FATHER’S Word and understanding the promises and covenant contained therein.  When you make a covenant, you always covenant with someone greater than you.  This is what Abraham did and his covenant with FATHER caused him to receive the blessings and prosperity from Above.

In Genesis chapter 12, The Holy Spirit recorded:

1 Now the LORD had said to Abram:

​

​​“Get out of your country,

​​From your family

​​And from your father’s house,

​​To a land that I will show you.

2 ​​I will make you a great nation;

​​I will bless you

​​And make your name great;

​​And you shall be a blessing.

3 ​​I will bless those who bless you,

​​And I will curse him who curses you;

​​And in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.”

And in Genesis chapter 13, The Holy Spirit recorded:

1 Then Abram went up from Egypt, he and his wife and all that he had, and Lot with him, to the South. 2 Abram was very rich in livestock, in silver, and in gold. 3 And he went on his journey from the South as far as Bethel, to the place where his tent had been at the beginning, between Bethel and Ai, 4 to the place of the altar which he had made there at first. And there Abram called on the name of the LORD.

FATHER provided Abram with wealth in order to fulfill his calling.  Won’t HE do the same for you and me?  Has HE changed since HE blessed Abraham?  Absolutely not!  We must quit rationalizing in our minds and diluting FATHER’S Divine Intent by succumbing to scarcity in our lives.  FATHER wants to impart a blessing in your life and it may include finances, for HE knows your needs and will bring forth the appropriate blessing for today’s circumstances.  Don’t limit FATHER in any way and expect a blessing today, no matter what form it takes.

It is written by The Holy Spirit in Matthew chapter 8:

5 Now when Jesus had entered Capernaum, a centurion came to Him, pleading with Him, 6 saying, “Lord, my servant is lying at home paralyzed, dreadfully tormented.”

7 And Jesus said to him, “I will come and heal him.”

8 The centurion answered and said, “Lord, I am not worthy that You should come under my roof. But only speak a word, and my servant will be healed. 9 For I also am a man under authority, having soldiers under me. And I say to this one, ‘Go,’ and he goes; and to another, ‘Come,’ and he comes; and to my servant, ‘Do this,’ and he does it.”

10 When Jesus heard it, He marveled, and said to those who followed, “Assuredly, I say to you, I have not found such great faith, not even in Israel! 11 And I say to you that many will come from east and west, and sit down with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven. 12 But the sons of the kingdom will be cast out into outer darkness. There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.” 13 Then Jesus said to the centurion, “Go your way; and as you have believed, so let it be done for you.” And his servant was healed that same hour.

Faith and authority are intricately connected together and the highest authority is Our Heavenly Father.  When we understand authority and its trust toward those above you whom you report to, your faith will become great.

Jesus “reported” to FATHER as He revealed in when He spoke in John chapter 14:

7 “If you had known Me, you would have known My Father also; and from now on you know Him and have seen Him.”

8 Philip said to Him, “Lord, show us the Father, and it is sufficient for us.”

9 Jesus said to him, “Have I been with you so long, and yet you have not known Me, Philip? He who has seen Me has seen the Father; so how can you say, ‘Show us the Father’? 10 Do you not believe that I am in the Father, and the Father in Me? The words that I speak to you I do not speak on My own authority; but the Father who dwells in Me does the works. 11 Believe Me that I am in the Father and the Father in Me, or else believe Me for the sake of the works themselves.

Those who walk in great faith are those who have placed their entire trust in Our Heavenly Father and fully rely on HIM in their daily affairs.  They do not act as independent, self-interested people who seek out personal benefits when it satisfies their souls, but they purpose to walk according to FATHER’S perfect plan, will, and purpose on a daily basis.

How do I learn to walk in such a manner?  Jesus spoke in Matthew chapter 11:

27 “All things have been delivered to Me by My Father, and no one knows the Son except the Father. Nor does anyone know the Father except the Son, and the one to whom the Son wills to reveal Him. 28 Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 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 I place my full trust by yoking up with Jesus, He will lead me and guide me into all Truth resulting in me finding rest for my soul.  I too will become gentle and lowly in heart thus I will have no problem in taking orders from The Holy Spirit Who is now the authority in my life.  As we understand this Truth, we can truly embrace what Wisdom spoke in Proverbs chapter 3:

5 ​​Trust in the LORD with all your heart,

​​And lean not on your own understanding;

6 ​​In all your ways acknowledge Him,

​​And He shall direct your paths.

​7 ​​Do not be wise in your own eyes;

​​Fear the LORD and depart from evil.

8 ​​It will be health to your flesh,

​​And strength to your bones.

9 ​​Honor the LORD with your possessions,

​​And with the firstfruits of all your increase;

10 ​​So your barns will be filled with plenty,

​​And your vats will overflow with new wine.

When you fully submit to FATHER’S authority and respond to HIS Words, you will walk in great faith as well.

The Holy Spirit recorded in Psalm 37:

5 Give GOD the right to direct your life,

and as you trust him along the way

you’ll find he pulled it off perfectly!

6 HE will appear as your righteousness,

as sure as the dawning of a new day.

He will manifest as your justice,

as sure and strong as the noonday sun.  TPT

In order for The Word to be alive in us, we are not only to “hear” The Word but we must understand it.  This is the key to The Word being alive in us.  To understand means that we know the Divine Intent of what is spoken.  In order to fully know Divine Intent, we must embrace Agape Love, the primary source of Divine Intent.

Deception is when your perception is wrong.  Isn’t this what caused Eve to eat the fruit in the Garden?  Her perception of FATHER’S Word was wrong even though she had no previous history of anything but absolute Truth from HIM.  Deception in its purest form is when a person doesn’t realize he or she is being deceived.  This is why you and I should go before FATHER daily lest we be deceived in some area beyond our perception.

FATHER is righteous and HIS righteousness is the cornerstone by which the entire universe is measured against.  There has to be a point of absolute Truth and purity by which all existence is referenced and compared.  Who else could establish this point of reference other than THE CREATOR?  Is there anyone better to align ourselves with than THE CREATOR by which all of creation depends?  Who better to pattern my life around than FATHER’S Son?  In order to pattern our lives around Jesus, we must understand Agape Love.  Jesus expressed the benefits of Loving Him and FATHER for THEY will make their dwelling place in us.

In John chapter 14, Jesus spoke:

23 Jesus replied, “Loving me empowers you to obey my word. And my Father will love you so deeply that we will come to you and make you our dwelling place. 24 But those who don’t love me will not obey my words. The Father did not send me to speak my own revelation, but the words of my Father. 25 I am telling you this while I am still with you. 26 But when the Father sends the Spirit of Holiness, the One like me who sets you free, He will teach you all things in my name. And he will inspire you to remember every word that I’ve told you.

In comparison, Jesus further stated in John chapter 15:

5 “I am the sprouting vine and you’re my branches. As you live in union with me as your source, fruitfulness will stream from within you—but when you live separated from me you are powerless. 6 If a person is separated from me, he is discarded; such branches are gathered up and thrown into the fire to be burned. 7 But if you live in life-union with me and if my words live powerfully within you—then you can ask whatever you desire and it will be done. 8 When your lives bear abundant fruit, you demonstrate that you are my mature disciples who glorify my Father!

What a comparison!  There should be no question of the importance of being in union with Our Lord Jesus Christ.  He told us in chapter 14 that The Holy Spirit would inspire us to remember every Word He has spoken to us thus Jesus intends for His Words to live powerfully within us.

With Jesus, I can do all things whereas without Him, I can do nothing of consequence because I am powerless.  When I have matured IN HIM, I will produce abundant fruit that confirms my maturity to all.  To demonstrate means to clearly show the existence or truth of (something) by giving proof or evidence.  Let us show the world our proof of being Sons and Daughters of Our Heavenly Father by demonstrating HIS Agape Love in all areas of our life.

What does it mean to perceive?  It is the ability to see, hear, or become aware of something, to realize or understand, to become conscious of.  These writings are given to me by The Holy Spirit virtually every day for our benefit.  As you and I read these writings, our perception shifts toward Heaven and we begin to perceive the Agape Love in FATHER’S Heart for us.  We slowly but surely begin to reflect HIS character in what we say and do.  As our perception shifts, our priorities shift in response.

The Holy Spirit wrote in Psalm 36:

5 But you, O Lord, your mercy-seat love is limitless,

reaching higher than the highest heavens.

Your great faithfulness is infinite,

stretching over the whole earth.

FATHER is 100% faithful to HIS Word and we can count on that reality once we perceive it to be true.  It is my deepest desire to fully take on FATHER’S character and express HIS Agape Love to all I encounter… without exception.  In order to walk in this manner, I must be faithful to yield to The Holy Spirit.  When I pray in Tongues, I actively yield to FATHER and submit my being to HIS Most Holy Spirit.  We need to realize this when we pray.

Our perception must be elevated if we are to be fully effective in our individual callings.  We must be able to see above the dark clouds covering this broken world and know that FATHER has a plan to bring forth light into this world.  Life is not about surviving this world but overcoming and overthrowing this broken world.

If needed, FATHER can change things instantly on your behalf.  In Numbers chapter 23, it is written by The Holy Spirit:

19 ​​“God is not a man, that He should lie,

​​Nor a son of man, that He should repent.

​​Has He said, and will He not do?

​​Or has He spoken, and will He not make it good?”

Whatever FATHER says, you can count on it.  We must not allow unbelief to enter in and make HIS Word ineffective in our life.  Each of us has the option to accept or reject HIS Word in our life because Love does not force Its will on us.  As our perception shifts to full belief IN HIM and HIS WAYS and ACTS, HIS Word becomes effective on our behalf.  HIS Word is full of power and authority and supersedes all other authority on earth… no exceptions.

Jesus spoke in Matthew chapter 8:

5 When Jesus entered the village of Capernaum, a captain in the Roman army approached him, asking for a miracle. 6 “Lord,” he said, “I have a son who is lying in my home, paralyzed and suffering terribly.”

7 Jesus responded, “I will go with you and heal him.”

8–9 But the Roman officer interjected, “Lord, who am I to have you come into my house? I understand your authority, for I too am a man who walks under authority and have authority over soldiers who serve under me. I can tell one to go and he’ll go, and another to come and he’ll come. I order my servants and they’ll do whatever I ask. So I know that all you need to do is to stand here and command healing over my son and he will be instantly healed.”

10 Jesus was astonished when he heard this and said to those who were following him, “He has greater faith than anyone I’ve encountered in Israel!”

Great faith comes when your perception of FATHER’S superior authority is realized.  At some point, a shift will occur in you and your faith will increase to a higher level.  When will this occur?  It is unique to each of us but as we press in, be assured that it will occur.  Our eyes will open wider and we will be able to see without obstruction.  We will be able to perceive the spirit realm more clearly and not be moved by the chaos around us.  The Holy Spirit will guide us into all Truth in every situation we encounter.

In 1 John 3, the Beloved Disciple wrote by The Holy Spirit, “The reason the Son of God was revealed was to undo and destroy the works of the devil.”  As each of us perceives the shift occurring in us, we will embrace this reason for our existence on earth at this time.  We will access the same power and authority to drive out spirits in Jesus’ Name (Mark 3:15).  Jesus expressed in John 10:

9 I am the Gateway. To enter through me is to experience life, freedom, and satisfaction. 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!

Let His life overflow in you and me!

The door of your promotion is the very thing you have had to overcome.  As we walk in the fullness as partakers of His Divine Nature, overcoming obstacles will not be an issue to us any longer.  Whatever the adversary sets before us, we deal with it according to FATHER’S Word thus destroying the works of the devil, and we do it with understanding and Wisdom.

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Ephesians chapter 1:

16 I do not cease to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers: 17 that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him, 18 the eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that you may know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints, 19 and what is the exceeding greatness of His power toward us who believe, according to the working of His mighty power 20 which He worked in Christ when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly places, 21 far above all principality and power and might and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age but also in that which is to come.

We must watch over our words and we should be speaking our intention and our destiny rather than idle words or words which have the effect of negating our purpose.  Our words should line up with FATHER’S Word rather than those words of compromise.  How can we be synchronized with FATHER’S Word if our words are not in full agreement with HIM?

Expressing words based on observation of a temporary situation is often unproductive and tends to dilute our faith.  The physical is subject to change because of its temporary nature whereas FATHER’S Word does not change.

In the past, I have been guilty of being a jokester with the intent of being witty.  That was a soulish attempt to bring attention to me and feed my “self”.  I have had to repent of all the idle words and now I focus on what comes out of my mouth.  I would rather minister healing than laughter to those with whom I come into contact.  It is all about changing peoples’ lives and manifesting the Goodness of Our Heavenly Father.

Words started creation and words cause everything to operate.  Let us no longer speak words which negatively impact life-giving Words which represent FATHER’S Divine Intent.  Our words are intended to line up with our purpose.

Our souls need to be healed which will result in our bodies being healed.  When I release my soul to My Lord Jesus Christ, healing ensues.  When I pray in Tongues, a Spiritual transaction occurs, moving from the perfect Spiritual realm to the physical realm.  My soul and body benefit from the Spiritual entering into my soul and body.  Healing and Restoration begin taking place and I move toward maturity in all three areas of my life.  Words of Love are restorative by nature.

Remember, there are no idle words when praying in Tongues.  FATHER’S healing power moves from one realm to the other and I am one of the beneficiaries of this transaction.  There is no interference from man’s doctrines, opinions, or limited knowledge.  Words of rejection or curses have no place in this transaction and it breaks the bonds of those words which have restrained us in the past from fulfilling our calling.

The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of Truth as Jesus spoke in John 14:17.  Would you rather speak forth the full Truth or observable facts?  Facts can be misinterpreted but the Truth stands on Its own.
