In Psalms 103 we find:

20 ​​Bless the LORD, you His angels,

​​Who excel in strength, who do His word,

​​Heeding the voice of His word.

21 ​​Bless the LORD, all you His hosts,

​​You ministers of His, who do His pleasure.

As we hear FATHER’S directives which come from HIS Divine Intent of Love, HIS angels are ready to respond to HIS Word.  This is precisely why it is so important to hear HIS Voice.  HIS angels are dispatched according to HIS Word as we speak what HE directs us to speak.

In Genesis chapter 28, Jacob is gaining this revelation:

10 Now Jacob went out from Beersheba and went toward Haran.

11 So he came to a certain place and stayed there all night, because the sun had set. And he took one of the stones of that place and put it at his head, and he lay down in that place to sleep.

12 Then he dreamed, and behold, a ladder was set up on the earth, and its top reached to heaven; and there the angels of God were ascending and descending on it.

13 And behold, the LORD stood above it and said: “I am the LORD God of Abraham your father and the God of Isaac; the land on which you lie I will give to you and your descendants.

14 Also your descendants shall be as the dust of the earth; you shall spread abroad to the west and the east, to the north and the south; and in you and in your seed all the families of the earth shall be blessed.

15 Behold, I am with you and will keep you wherever you go, and will bring you back to this land; for I will not leave you until I have done what I have spoken to you.”

It is important to consider that first the angels ascended to Heaven and then descended, returning to earth.  They are given to us as ministering Spirits and are dispatched according to the Word we hear and then speak accordingly.  Once FATHER’S Word is spoken by one of HIS Sons or Daughters, the angels are activated to fulfill the Word spoken.  This is one aspect of angelic resources we should be aware of as FATHER directs us to proclaim HIS Word.

An heir is one who receives his allotted possession by right of sonship.  You can be assured that when a parent dies and the will is read, the heirs do not want to delay in receiving their allotments directed to them by the will.  If there are funds in the bank and they prove their identity to the bank officer, they will immediately receive their portion of the funds authorized by the testator.  A testator is a person who has written and executed a last will and testament that is in effect at the time of his/her death.

You and I are joint heirs in Jesus Christ and this mystery was unveiled by Jesus to the apostles and prophets for our benefit.  Paul wrote of this revealed mystery in Ephesians chapter 3:

1 For this reason I, Paul, the prisoner of Christ Jesus for you Gentiles—

2 if indeed you have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which was given to me for you,

3 how that by revelation He made known to me the mystery (as I have briefly written already,

4 by which, when you read, you may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ),

5 which in other ages was not made known to the sons of men, as it has now been revealed by the Spirit to His holy apostles and prophets:

6 that the Gentiles should be fellow heirs, of the same body, and partakers of His promise in Christ through the gospel 

You and I have an inheritance that is awaiting our action to claim our allotment.  We don’t need to go to court and present arguments for our rightful inheritance but instead we should simply possess what is ours.  There are no further conditions to be met for FATHER has already paved The Way for us to receive our blessed inheritance.  The issue is that we have yet to fully embrace what is ours.  Had I not gone to the bank when my Mom died and presented my proof of claim, my inheritance would still be sitting there unused as though there was no inheritance.  It would have benefitted no one.  You must realize you have an inheritance and then lay claim to it, receive it, and use it.

Paul further states:

14 For this reason I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,

15 from whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named,

16 that He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with might through His Spirit in the inner man,

17 that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love,

18 may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and depth and height—

19 to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.

We are to be filled with all the fullness of FATHER!  You need to quit acting as though some date, court decision, prophecy, or other condition must be met until your inheritance can by realized.  The only thing holding us back from our inheritance is US!  We have been blinded to the revelation of this mystery of inheritance by those who promote conditional Love because they have yet to comprehend the mystery of Divine Unconditional Love.  Let this mystery be fully revealed to us in its fullness so that we can embrace being joint heirs. 

All of the resources of Heaven are at our disposal as we walk in Divine Unconditional Love thus let us therefore walk in unfettered access to our inheritance.  Until we embrace the revelation of our inheritance, those resources will simply await our rightful claim.

Many people prefer to focus in areas where it is not necessary to walk in faith.  They would rather play it safe in the short term rather than develop their faith for fear of failure.  FATHER is looking for those who are unwavering in their Love, faith, and hope to bring about the Kingdom.

In Luke chapter 17 we find the story of the ten lepers:

11 Now it happened as He went to Jerusalem that He passed through the midst of Samaria and Galilee.

12 Then as He entered a certain village, there met Him ten men who were lepers, who stood afar off.

13 And they lifted up their voices and said, “Jesus, Master, have mercy on us!”

14 So when He saw them, He said to them, “Go, show yourselves to the priests.” And so it was that as they went, they were cleansed.

15 And one of them, when he saw that he was healed, returned, and with a loud voice glorified God,

16 and fell down on his face at His feet, giving Him thanks. And he was a Samaritan.

17 So Jesus answered and said, “Were there not ten cleansed? But where are the nine?

18 Were there not any found who returned to give glory to God except this foreigner?”

19 And He said to him, “Arise, go your way. Your faith has made you well.”

The priests of the day needed to see proof that Jesus was the Messiah and surely ten healed lepers would satisfy any doubt.  Nine would be satisfied with being healed of the disease but one would receive the fullness of blessing by being fully restored.  This one leper dared to go beyond the initial miracle and was rewarded for his faith in Jesus’ manifested power and authority.  He had no doubt that full restoration was possible.  All ten lepers had a level of faith to go and present themselves to the priest prior to seeing the manifestation of healing but only one had great faith to receive full restoration.  At what level of faith would you be satisfied?

Jesus returned to issue the Great Commission in Matthew chapter 28:

16 Then the eleven disciples went away into Galilee, to the mountain which Jesus had appointed for them.

17 When they saw Him, they worshiped Him; but some doubted.

Even seeing Jesus face to face was not enough to overcome doubt.  After all the miracles and the confirmations, doubt still enters in and people still find it difficult to walk in faith.  This is why we must keep ourselves encouraged with HIS Word to us by dwelling on it day and night.  We must not let the “noise” of the world enter in and become our focus.  We must look at FATHER as our source, not man.  Man will dangle a carrot in front of us to lead us around whereas FATHER will guided us on that narrow path of Love providing us opportunities to minister life to others.  Many are waiting for their financial ship to come in before they minister life whereas FATHER tells us to go forth and HE will provide.  Faith is necessary to spread the Gospel.  Doubt will simply cause you to stay in a passive state and produce no fruit.  In Mark 11, Jesus spoke:

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.”

Believe and doubt not and you will fulfill the Great Commission!

I had a vision yesterday afternoon where I saw dark clouds ahead.  These clouds were thick and light from the sun was not passing through.  I suspect these clouds were similar to the day Jesus died on the cross.  I recall seeing similar dark clouds on May 3rd, 1999, just before the most devastating tornado came through southern Oklahoma County.  Its winds were clocked at 318 mph which were said to be the greatest winds clocked on earth.

This morning I was given Proverbs 4:19:

“The way of the wicked is like darkness; They do not know what makes them stumble.”

Clearly these two events are connected.  I am only led to share what I have been shown and told without adding or subtracting.  Selah!

Many people like to reference Gideon when they are wanting confirmation about a decision or direction.  Generally, they have difficulty in hearing FATHER’S Voice so they want HIM to send a sign instead and that can be potentially disastrous.  In the Book of Judges chapter 6, Gideon sought not only one sign but two:

36 So Gideon said to God, “If You will save Israel by my hand as You have said— 

37 look, I shall put a fleece of wool on the threshing floor; if there is dew on the fleece only, and it is dry on all the ground, then I shall know that You will save Israel by my hand, as You have said.” 

38 And it was so. When he rose early the next morning and squeezed the fleece together, he wrung the dew out of the fleece, a bowlful of water. 

39 Then Gideon said to God, “Do not be angry with me, but let me speak just once more: Let me test, I pray, just once more with the fleece; let it now be dry only on the fleece, but on all the ground let there be dew.” 

40 And God did so that night. It was dry on the fleece only, but there was dew on all the ground.

Is it more difficult for FATHER to speak to you or provide you two signs?  HE has no issue in speaking to you but the problem lies in your hearing HIM and trusting HIS Word.  What people fail to consider is that Gideon was an Old Testament example and we now have the Blood of Jesus Christ reconciling us to FATHER.  We should pursue hearing and trusting HIM rather than relying on outward signs as a means of communication and confirmation.

We have a New Testament example of trust in outward signs… Thomas.  In the Gospel of John chapter 20 we find the account of “doubting” Thomas:

24 Now Thomas, called the Twin, one of the twelve, was not with them when Jesus came. 

25 The other disciples therefore said to him, “We have seen the Lord.”

So he said to them, “Unless I see in His hands the print of the nails, and put my finger into the print of the nails, and put my hand into His side, I will not believe.”

26 And after eight days His disciples were again inside, and Thomas with them. Jesus came, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said, “Peace to you!” 

27 Then He said to Thomas, “Reach your finger here, and look at My hands; and reach your hand here, and put it into My side. Do not be unbelieving, but believing.”

28 And Thomas answered and said to Him, “My Lord and my God!”

29 Jesus said to him, “Thomas, because you have seen Me, you have believed. Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.”

Jesus did not chastise Thomas nor do I chastise those who have sought signs.  I too have relied on signs at certain points in my life.  It is my desire for you to go beyond trusting in signs and fully aligning yourself with FATHER and as you do, you will be able to hear HIM better.  At some point you will trust HIS Voice rather than asking for a sign to guide your path or decision.

What is the risk of trusting in signs?  Jesus warns us in Matthew 24:

24  “For false christs and false prophets will rise and show great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect.”

There will be those who have subjected themselves to lying spirits and will rise and show great signs in order to convince us of accepting another path other than the narrow path of The Way, The Truth, and The Life (John 14:6).  This is a notable warning of trusting in signs rather than hearing and trusting HIS Voice.  The most important investment in time you can make is to focus on hearing HIS Voice and you do that by seeking HIS Face and walking in Divine Unconditional Love, FATHER’S most important characteristic.

We all deal with circumstances everyday which would rob our peace if we allowed it. Paul wrote:

Philippians 4:7  and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

When our hearts are guarded by peace, no invaders have a chance of causing us fear, uncertainty, or doubt.  We know that FATHER has our future before HIM and will rally whatever resources needed for us to fulfill our individual callings.  HE dispatches our guardian angels to oversee HIS Will and Purpose in our lives and we simply must operate in HIS peace, not hindering HIS flow in our lives.  We don’t have to exalt ourselves for as Peter wrote in his first epistle chapter 5:

6 Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time,

7 casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you.

What reassurance we have as we walk out this physical existence.  We must stand firm and place our trust squarely IN HIM and whatever burden that attempts to attach itself we must give it TO HIM:

Psalm 55:22 Cast your burden upon the LORD and He will sustain you;

He will never allow the righteous to be shaken.

Stop worrying about today and tomorrow for FATHER will see you through it all.  Rest in HIS peace which surpasses your understanding, knowing HE will add unto you as you have need.  In Matthew chapter 6, Jesus spoke:

25 “Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing?

26 Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they?

27 Which of you by worrying can add one cubit to his stature?

28 “So why do you worry about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin;

29 and yet I say to you that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.

30 Now if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is, and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will He not much more clothe you, O you of little faith?

31 “Therefore do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’

32 For after all these things the Gentiles seek. For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things.

33 But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.

34 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.

As we dwell on these passages we should expect peace to spread throughout our being to the point where we can sleep in a boat being tossed to and fro by the raging seas.  We will sleep soundly in the prison cell even when we are told the next day our life is to be taken.  When peace prevails, we have handed our burden to FATHER and HE will dispatch the angels to set the captives free just as HE did for Peter in Acts chapter 12:

5 Peter was therefore kept in prison, but constant prayer was offered to God for him by the church.

6 And when Herod was about to bring him out, that night Peter was sleeping, bound with two chains between two soldiers; and the guards before the door were keeping the prison.

7 Now behold, an angel of the Lord stood by him, and a light shone in the prison; and he struck Peter on the side and raised him up, saying, “Arise quickly!” And his chains fell off his hands.

8 Then the angel said to him, “Gird yourself and tie on your sandals”; and so he did. And he said to him, “Put on your garment and follow me.”

9 So he went out and followed him, and did not know that what was done by the angel was real, but thought he was seeing a vision.

May you sleep soundly tonight!

In Philippians chapter 4, Paul wrote:

6 Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God;

7 and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

We must guard our hearts and minds from the wolves in sheep’s clothing.  There are many opinions out there of what is the central focus of life.  I say Love must be our focus and our purpose is to mature in Divine unconditional Love.  The Law is based on Love thus you only need to remember two commandments.  Jesus made it quite clear in Matthew 22:

34 But when the Pharisees heard that He had silenced the Sadducees, they gathered together.

35 Then one of them, a lawyer, asked Him a question, testing Him, and saying, 36 “Teacher, which is the great commandment in the law?”

37 Jesus said to him, “ ‘You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’

38 This is the first and great commandment.

39 And the second is like it: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’

40 On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets.”

The Pharisees’ focus was their outward works yet inwardly they were filled with avarice, ambition, and carnality.  Their intent was to discredit Jesus which of course failed.  As we seek FATHER in all matters, making our requests known to HIM, peace will flood our souls.  This peace will guard us from all attempts by vessels of dishonor to persuade us to take the path that leads to death and destruction.  Be assured, we will be tested just like Jesus was tested by the Pharisees.

Back to Philippians chapter 4:

8 Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy—meditate on these things.

9 The things which you learned and received and heard and saw in me, these do, and the God of peace will be with you.

We are bombarded with ‘noise’ from all directions.  Everyone is trying to get our attention in some manner.  FATHER knew this when we were instructed to enter into our prayer closets in order to separate ourselves from this noise.  Noise is a sound, especially one that is loud or unpleasant or that causes disturbance.  Don’t let the noise disturb you but instead meditate on the true, the pure, the lovely and those things of good report.  Is is pure and simple!
