Love gives and one aspect of giving is to heal.  The mature saint is commissioned to heal and FATHER awaits those who are willing to embrace HIS Love in this area that HE may flow through them to minister to all mankind.  Consider, dwell, and meditate on the following passages.  Consider the needs of the people today and you will find that the need for healing is among the greatest.

Mat 10:1.7.8  

Matthew 10:1  And when He had called His twelve disciples to Him, He gave them power over unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal all kinds of sickness and all kinds of disease.

7 And as you go, preach, saying, ‘The kingdom of heaven is at hand.’

8 Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out demons. Freely you have received, freely give.

Mark 3:13 And He went up on the mountain and called to Him those He Himself wanted. And they came to Him.

14 Then He appointed twelve, that they might be with Him and that He might send them out to preach,

15 and to have power to heal sicknesses and to cast out demons:

Mark 6:7 And He called the twelve to Himself, and began to send them out two by two, and gave them power over unclean spirits.

12 So they went out and preached that people should repent. 13 And they cast out many demons, and anointed with oil many who were sick, and healed them.

Mark 16:15  And He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature.

16  He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned.

17  And these signs will follow those who believe: In My name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues;

18  they will take up serpents; and if they drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.”

Luke 9:1 Then He called His twelve disciples together and gave them power and authority over all demons, and to cure diseases.

2  He sent them to preach the kingdom of God and to heal the sick.

6  So they departed and went through the towns, preaching the gospel and healing everywhere.

Luke 10:19 Behold, I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you.

20 Nevertheless do not rejoice in this, that the spirits are subject to you, but rather rejoice because your names are written in heaven.”

John 14:12 “Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father.

13 And whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.

14 If you ask anything in My name, I will do it.

John 15:7 If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, you will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you.

8 By this My Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit; so you will be My disciples.

Acts 1:“But you shall receive power when 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.”

Acts 3:6 Then Peter said, “Silver and gold I do not have, but what I do have I give you: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk.”

7 And he took him by the right hand and lifted him up, and immediately his feet and ankle bones received strength.

8 So he, leaping up, stood and walked and entered the temple with them—walking, leaping, and praising God.

9 And all the people saw him walking and praising God

Acts 5:12 And through the hands of the apostles many signs and wonders were done among the people. And they were all with one accord in Solomon’s Porch.

13 Yet none of the rest dared join them, but the people esteemed them highly.

14 And believers were increasingly added to the Lord, multitudes of both men and women,

15 so that they brought the sick out into the streets and laid them on beds and couches, that at least the shadow of Peter passing by might fall on some of them.

16 Also a multitude gathered from the surrounding cities to Jerusalem, bringing sick people and those who were tormented by unclean spirits, and they were all healed.

Acts 28:. 8 And it happened that the father of Publius lay sick of a fever and dysentery. Paul went in to him and prayed, and he laid his hands on him and healed him.

9 So when this was done, the rest of those on the island who had diseases also came and were healed.

I believe that it is FATHER’S Divine Intent that we live in a healthy manner and HIS Word conveys that intent.  Yet just about everyone I know gets sick and some end up with chronic illnesses.  Each of us has our own unique set of circumstances and history that impacts our health and so there is no standard answer to why we become sick.  However there is a complete answer to healing and it is Christ Our Redeemer.  It is my goal to impart whatever revelation FATHER provides for the betterment of the reader.  I need to hear the same words I write so I end up being the first beneficiary of the blog.  Yes, I have been sick unto death but FATHER healed me of severe hepatitis in 1984.  The doctor and nurse thought I was going to die but in 11 days FATHER healed me completely.  HE had me immerse myself in HIS healing Scriptures and my body responded.  I didn’t feel like listening to tapes and reading HIS Word but it didn’t matter because the stakes were high.  If HE will heal me, HE will heal you as well.

Exodus 15:26  “If you diligently heed the voice of the LORD your God and do what is right in His sight, give ear to His commandments and keep all His statutes, I will put none of the diseases on you which I have brought on the Egyptians. For I am the LORD who heals you.”

FATHER revealed HIMSELF as Jehovah Rapha on that day and shared one of HIS characteristics of Love.  Love is in the healing business, not placing sickness or disease on us.  In Psalm 105:37 FATHER is shown to not only provide financial resources to the children of Israel but also bring them out in Divine health:

“He also brought them out with silver and gold,
And there was none feeble among His tribes.”

It is not FATHER Who must be convinced that HE is in the healing and salvation business, it is you and me.  We have no problem in ministering salvation yet the ministry of healing seems to be difficult.  We must be reminded of HIS Promises to us and Psalm 103 is a good place to start:

1 Bless the LORD, O my soul; ​​And all that is within me, bless His holy name!

2 ​​Bless the LORD, O my soul, ​​And forget not all His benefits:

3 ​​Who forgives all your iniquities, ​​Who heals all your diseases,

4 ​​Who redeems your life from destruction, ​​Who crowns you with lovingkindness and tender mercies,

5 ​​Who satisfies your mouth with good things, ​​So that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.

Verse 3 is a promise to you and me and we must fully embrace this promise.  Our mind and our body would try to convince us otherwise.  We must build up our spiritual man in the promises explicitly given to us by FATHER so that the mind and body will serve our spiritual man instead of controlling our outcome.  Psalm 103:3 plainly states that FATHER ministers salvation to the sinful and healing to those who are sick.  Traditions of men enslave, FATHER sets the captives free.

In Isaiah 53 we find that Jesus was to bare our sickness and disease on our behalf.  Jesus accepted the legal requirement to remove sickness and disease from our midst:

4 ​​Surely He has borne our griefs ​​And carried our sorrows;

​​Yet we esteemed Him stricken, ​​Smitten by God, and afflicted.

5 ​​But He was wounded for our transgressions, ​​He was bruised for our iniquities;

​​The chastisement for our peace was upon Him, ​​And by His stripes we are healed.

We need not bare sickness or disease.  Remember, HIS Will in HIS Word reveals HIS Intent.  FATHER intends for us to recover from sickness and disease and we should not settle for anything less.  If we will spend as much time and resources on health and healing as we do other things, we will see positive results in our lives.

How much time did Jesus spend healing the sick versus forgiving of sins?  Read and study the Gospels and you will find Jesus spent as much time healing people as He did ministering salvation.  He also instructed and commissioned the disciples (you and me) to do the same.

Faith for healing will come when you hear the Word and that is the point of this writing.  Your healing was authorized by Jesus receiving those stripes:

1 Pet 2:24  who Himself bore our sins in His own body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live for righteousness—by whose stripes you were healed.

HE is willing to heal the sick, HE will heal the sick, HE will heal the sick now.  Do you think HE wants to wait until tomorrow to heal you rather than today?  Now is the time for us to be healed and to heal the sick. In 2 Corinthians chapter 6 Paul writes: 

2  For He says:
“In an acceptable time I have heard you,
And in the day of salvation I have helped you.”
Behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.

If you have no problem in believing you are saved, then you should have no doubt about FATHER’S willingness to heal you as well.  The reality of healing is no different than the reality of salvation. 

Now is the time to embrace healing and the ministry of healing for others.

Is your pain, symptom, or feeling greater than FATHER’S Divine Intent to heal every sickness and disease?  To which do you give authority?  Only the CREATOR of Heaven and earth has a sure Word with the necessary power backing it.  Men’s words and oaths are always subject to a higher authority.  Why place your trust in men when FATHER is accessible to those who will seek HIM?  HIS first begotten Son Jesus has had a greater impact on mankind than any other singular person in history.  The evidence is overwhelming yet many would question HIS Word in their unbelief.  In Ezekiel chapter 12, HE said:

25 For I am the LORD: I will speak, and the word that I shall speak shall come to pass; it shall be no more prolonged: for in your days, O rebellious house, will I say the word, and will perform it, saith the Lord GOD.

28 Therefore say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; There shall none of my words be prolonged any more, but the word which I have spoken shall be done, saith the Lord GOD.

We must not deny HIS Truth if we want HIS healing power to flow to us, in us, and through us.  Men would try to come up with various methods to heal but would only have partial success and some of their success could even fall under the category of faith by the recipient rather than effectiveness of the method itself.  Paul asks the question in 1 Corinthians chapter 1:

20 Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the disputer of this world? hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world?

In 2 Corinthians chapter 1 Paul clearly states how FATHER’S promises are for our benefit:

20 For all the promises of God in him are yea, and in him Amen, unto the glory of God by us.

As we truly believe HIS Word and HIS promises, we align ourselves with HIM and open up vast possibilities and resources.  It is HIS will to heal us for HE never put sickness or disease on anyone.  Jesus went about healing ALL and only did as instructed by FATHER.  Our blindness and disobedience opens us up to sickness and disease.  Our ignorance and willingness to follow mankind’s traditions and potions have become a source of our distress.  Healing can become simple if we will only allow ourselves to seek FATHER and truly believe HIS Word toward us.  Jesus said in Mark chapter 9:

23  Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth.

Jairus, one of the rulers of the synagogue, had a daughter who was severely ill.  He asked Jesus to go to his house and minister healing.  In the meantime, the daughter died.  In Mark chapter 5 we continue:

35 While He was still speaking, some came from the ruler of the synagogue’s house who said, “Your daughter is dead. Why trouble the Teacher any further?”

36 As soon as Jesus heard the word that was spoken, He said to the ruler of the synagogue, “Do not be afraid; only believe.”

37 And He permitted no one to follow Him except Peter, James, and John the brother of James.

38 Then He came to the house of the ruler of the synagogue, and saw a tumult and those who wept and wailed loudly.

39 When He came in, He said to them, “Why make this commotion and weep? The child is not dead, but sleeping.”

Jesus had the power and authority over all sickness, disease, and even death.  He was fully committed to hearing FATHER’S Word and only responding in accordance to what He was instructed by FATHER.  There is an appointed time for a person to leave his or her physical body but that was not the case for Jairus’ daughter.

41 Then He took the child by the hand, and said to her, “Talitha, cumi,” which is translated, “Little girl, I say to you, arise.”

42 Immediately the girl arose and walked, for she was twelve years of age. And they were overcome with great amazement.

As HIS Son or Daughter, the nature of FATHER dwells in you thus the power of FATHER is to flow in and through you.  We must no longer view ourselves as being subject to the world but only be subject to FATHER and HIS commands of Love.  It is HIS will to heal thus it should be our will to heal.  Do you look at people with compassion or disgust?  Are you fully of mercy or judgment?  Are you looking for opportunities to bless or exploit others?  What is internal will ultimately be manifested in the external.  We know what was internal to Jesus by looking at His fruit:

Matt 8:16 When the even was come, they brought unto him many that were possessed with devils: and he cast out the spirits with his word, and healed all that were sick:17 That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying, Himself took our infirmities, and bare our sicknesses.

1 Peter 2:24  Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.

Removing uncertainty requires that you know AND fully receive FATHER’S Word concerning the area of need.  You must become fully persuaded of HIS promise in a particular area such as healing and health.  Unbelief prevents the Word from being fully activated in your life.  Misuse of HIS Intent will keep HIS Word from being active as well.  When our intent aligns with FATHER’S Intent, good things happen.

FATHER’S promises are each a revelation of what HE is eager to do for us.  HIS Word is a seed that must be planted in you and you must let the “water” of the Word  provide nourishment for this seed to grow and produce fruit.  It may happen immediately or it may take time depending on the condition of the heart.

We know FATHER is able to heal but we must be convinced in our heart, soul, and body that HE is willing to heal.  This Truth is applicable in all areas.

Only one time was Jesus asked whether it be FATHER’S Will to heal.  A leper who had the greatest and immediate need for healing happened to be that person for not only did he have a chronic and severe disease, he was also an outcast.  In the Good News of Mark chapter one:

40 Now a leper came to Him, imploring Him, kneeling down to Him and saying to Him, “If You are willing, You can make me clean.”

41 Then Jesus, moved with compassion, stretched out His hand and touched him, and said to him, “I am willing; be cleansed.”

42 As soon as He had spoken, immediately the leprosy left him, and he was cleansed.

In Exodus chapter 15, FATHER makes a very clear statement:

26  And said, If thou wilt diligently hearken to the voice of the LORD thy God, and wilt do that which is right in his sight, and wilt give ear to his commandments, and keep all his statutes, I will put none of these diseases upon thee, which I have permitted upon the Egyptians: for I am the LORD that healeth thee.

It is Our Loving FATHER Who does the healing.  After all, HE created and formed us thus HE has perfect knowledge of what it takes to heal and restore us.  The leper in Mark chapter 1 is a perfect example.  By FATHER’S authority and Divine Intent, Jesus healed the leper and there is no question that it is HIS will for all to be healed.

What is the problem if we are sick or plagued with a chronic disease?  I believe it is due to something we may be missing.  It could be that we are “void” of HIS Word in a certain area.  We might have allowed the cares of the world to creep in and the Word has grown dormant in us.  The world is busily bombarding us with alternatives to FATHER’s healing power.  You may have unforgiveness and/or bitterness toward someone that needs to be dealt with.  Your spiritual state can negatively impact your physiology.  Dr. Speckhart saw cancer clear up after the young woman forgave her grandmother of all the malicious words and acts over her.

FATHER was in the healing business as shown in Exodus 15.  HE kept over 3 million totally healthy in the wilderness yet we find this bold statement in Hebrews chapter 8:

6  But now hath he obtained a more excellent ministry, by how much also he is the mediator of a better covenant, which was established upon better promises.

The New Covenant was and is better than the Old Covenant.  In Psalms 105 we find an example of how good the Old Covenant was concerning the children of Israel:

37  He brought them forth also with silver and gold: and there was not one feeble person among their tribes.

People think that you need to die from a disease but I strongly disagree.  FATHER will take you out of this current state without sickness and disease if you truly believe in HIS healing power and willingness to heal you today.  Nothing is wrong with simply having your heart stop on the appointed day you are to depart.  My friend Bill Weaver was such a man and knew that FATHER was going to do something special on his 70th birthday.  He departed in his sleep quietly without any suffering for he was healthy.

We must align ourselves with FATHER and know HIS Word in the area of healing.  We must trust and act upon HIS Word and we should expect results in the same manner as Jesus, the disciples, and all those who have since grasped the revelation that HE still heals today and has not changed in any manner.  The Beloved Disciple in 1 John chapter 5 wrote:

14 And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us:

15 And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him

Are you sick, ask FATHER to heal you and thank HIM for HIS Love directed specifically to you in making you whole.  Dwell on your healing and tell your body you are healed as it tries to convince you otherwise.  It is HIS good pleasure to minister health, healing, and life to HIS sons and daughters.  There is no question that IT IS HIS WILL for you to be healed.  Stand on HIS Word and let HIS Word permeate every aspect of your being for it has more power than any sickness or disease.  It may take some time for this to occur but don’t give up.  I can attest to this process in my own life.

Proverbs 4:20 ​​My son, give attention to my words;

​​Incline your ear to my sayings.

21 ​​Do not let them depart from your eyes;

​​Keep them in the midst of your heart;

22 ​​For they are life to those who find them,

​​And health to all their flesh.

FATHER’s WORD contains the power within it for you to be healed of any sickness or disease.  It contains life for those who find it and believe.  Our FATHER wants us to walk in a healthy state and be not hindered by any malady that might prevent us from fulfilling our daily walk.  The pharmaceutical and medical profession would want us to believe otherwise.  They promote management of chronic ailments as the norm and promote a regimen of pharmaceuticals to maintain a “quality” of life.  Man’s thinking has been perverted from the Truth of the Gospel.  Paul wrote in Romans chapter 1:

16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first and also for the Greek.

17 For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; as it is written,“The just shall live by faith.”

If FATHER’S Word has enough power to save and deliver us, it surely has enough power to heal our bodies as well but we must have faith in HIS Word.  As Paul wrote in the tenth chapter of Romans “So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.”  As we move our focus to those healing Scriptures, our faith will increase in the area of health and healing and ultimately our bodies will conform.

A double-minded man has a problem with faith and healing.  James points this out in his epistle, chapter 1:

6 But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind.

7 For let not that man suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord;

8 he is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.

In general, the right side of the brain is oriented toward the Spiritual whereas the left side is where analysis and reasoning occur.  Your mind cannot grasp FATHER’S ability to heal, it just doesn’t make sense to it.  Instead it looks at all the data and information provided by external sources and concludes that we must get sick and rely solely on a white-coated doctor and pharmaceuticals to resolve the problem.  There are very few “healers” in the medical profession, most are “treaters”.

James makes it quite clear that the double-minded man will not receive ANYTHING from the LORD.  If you have trouble receiving, check you mind, your focus, and where you place your priorities and attention.  FATHER wants us healed!  This is one aspect of the Divine Intent of Love.  If FATHER says it, you can count on it as we are reminded in Numbers chapter 23:

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?

FATHER created us and HE has the power to restore our bodies to normal.  HE is also willing to restore us as well.  It will become increasing important in the days ahead to have faith in FATHER’S power, willingness, and Divine Intent.  The more we have HIS Word operational in us, the greater the results to be seen in our walk.  We will walk worthy unto THE LORD, increasing the HIS Knowledge being fruitful in every good work.  This should become our expectation as we are enveloped in HIS Truth.

Jesus spoke in Luke chapter 4:

18  “The Spirit of the LORD is upon Me,
Because He has anointed Me
To preach the gospel to the poor;
He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted,
To proclaim liberty to the captives
And recovery of sight to the blind,
To set at liberty those who are oppressed;

19  To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD.”

Each of us has a calling just as Jesus had a calling.  This calling was established before we were formed in the womb and it was established by HIS Divine Intent of Love.  We should not look at others’ callings and desire theirs but instead we should seek to fully understand what our particular calling is in its fullness.  As we pursue our own calling we will be empowered by HIS anointing just as Jesus was.

Zacharias and Elizabeth are great examples, they were both “advanced” in age, beyond the normal childbearing years.  To top it off, Elizabeth was barren:

Luke 1:5 There was in the days of Herod, the king of Judea, a certain priest named Zacharias, of the division of Abijah. His wife was of the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elizabeth.

6 And they were both righteous before God, walking in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord blameless.

7 But they had no child, because Elizabeth was barren, and they were both well advanced in years.

Even though Zacharias was old, it did not keep him from continuing to pray for FATHER’S WILL to be done in his life as well as the life of his wife Elizabeth.  We must not let these subtle Truths be overlooked for they provide encouragement in our own circumstances.  We must be of good courage and know that FATHER will manifest our calling at the appropriate time no matter what situation we currently face.

13 But the angel said to him, “Do not be afraid, Zacharias, for your prayer is heard; and your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son, and you shall call his name John.

14 And you will have joy and gladness, and many will rejoice at his birth.

15 For he will be great in the sight of the Lord, and shall drink neither wine nor strong drink. He will also be filled with the Holy Spirit, even from his mother’s womb.

16 And he will turn many of the children of Israel to the Lord their God.

17 He will also go before Him in the spirit and power of Elijah, ‘to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children,’ and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just, to make ready a people prepared for the Lord.”

Notice how FATHER takes what appears to be an impossible situation and brings forth HIS Glory.  They are going to have a son and he will even be filled with the Holy Spirit while he is still in the womb.

We must not consider our individual circumstances, station in life, or age when it comes to our calling.  Our situation can change in a moment.  The next phone call you receive might alter your direction and place you in the middle of your calling along with the empowerment from Above.  In our humanity we often question whether FATHER could do something with us.  Zacharias had the same question many of us would at a later stage of life:

18 And Zacharias said to the angel, “How shall I know this? For I am an old man, and my wife is well advanced in years.”

19 And the angel answered and said to him, “I am Gabriel, who stands in the presence of God, and was sent to speak to you and bring you these glad tidings.”

Gabriel was sent, John the Baptist was sent, Jesus was sent, and you too are sent.  The only question might be “What is my mission or calling?”  Zacharias prayed and FATHER heard him and sent Gabriel to give him details of his calling.  FATHER will communicate your calling in some form or fashion so you must be sensitive and focus on hearing HIS Voice.  Your prayer will be heard for it is HIS good pleasure to equip, prepare, train, and then send you on your mission whether you are 30 years old or 84 years old.  The Ancient of Days is not moved by your age or situation.

During Jesus’ ministry, He must have performed some notable event every single day.  Which day of the year is most important?

Psalm 118:24   ​​This is the day the LORD has made;

​​We will rejoice and be glad in it.

Today is the most important day and when tomorrow arrives it will be the most important day.  We should live in the now and not worry about or be moved by the past or future.  However we should also let Love guide us in respect to holidays set apart by various cultures as they attempt to be in unity for one day.  For example, which Feast day is the most important?

Rosh Hashana: 2 days  The Jewish New Year

Yom Kippur: 1 day – Day of Atonement

Sukkot: 7 days – Feast of Tabernacles

Shmini Atzeret: 1 day – Eighth Day of Assembly

Simchat Torah: 1 day – Day of Celebrating the Torah

Chanukah: 8 days – The Jewish festival of rededication, also known as the Festival of Lights

Purim: 1 day – Purim is one of the most joyous and fun holidays on the Jewish calendar

Pesach: 8 days – Passover, the Feast of Unleavened Bread

Shavuot: 2 days – Festival of Weeks, commemorates the giving of the Torah at Mount Sinai

Tish’a B’Av: 1 day – The Ninth of Av, fast commemorating the destruction of the two Temples

There are roughly 32 days in the above major Feast days to commemorate something notable FATHER did or caused which are all acknowledged by the Jewish community.  The Christian community has its days of observation as well.  If we tried, we could find something every single day to commemorate and thus we could proclaim it a holiday and do nothing 365 days each year.  Jesus made it clear that we are not to be restricted by any tradition:

Matthew 12:9 Now when He had departed from there, He went into their synagogue.

10 And behold, there was a man who had a withered hand. And they asked Him, saying, “Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath?”—that they might accuse Him.

11 Then He said to them, “What man is there among you who has one sheep, and if it falls into a pit on the Sabbath, will not lay hold of it and lift it out?

12 Of how much more value then is a man than a sheep? Therefore it is lawful to do good on the Sabbath.”

13 Then He said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” And he stretched it out, and it was restored as whole as the other.

14 Then the Pharisees went out and plotted against Him, how they might destroy Him.

Let’s look at Christmas.  It is considered that Jesus was actually born in the fall of the year according to the fall feast days.  I have no issue with that and have heard the facts, reasoning, and conclusions drawn from Scripture.  Further, if you back up to the standard gestation period for a baby in a womb, you would arrive at the night of December 24th into the morning of December 25th.  Stephen Jones does an excellent job of explaining this.  See:  http://www.gods-kingdom-ministries.net/teachings/books/dr-luke-healing-the-breaches-book-1/chapter-5-marys-visitation/

We should take the opportunity to honor Jesus when the rest of the world is at least attempting to come into unity on one day of the year.  This day is often accompanied by a cease-fire in war zones.  Love does not offend the little children and thus let us spread the Gospel in the Christmas season when we have a captive audience.  Let us give our Love to those who are less fortunate.  Let us join in and celebrate the one day people can be in unity concerning our elder Brother.  Let us not cause division by looking at the negatives of the season but instead consider the opportunity to expand unity concerning Our Redeemer. 

Men can pervert virtually any physical representation used during Christmas.  Let us not isolate ourselves by fearing or judging some tradition established by society.  Jesus was not moved by the traditions of the Pharisees and continued ministering life to mankind rather than focusing on what was wrong with the current leadership and its traditions.  Embrace each day as an opportunity to draw men unto Christ.

Matthew 4:23  And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all manner of sickness and all manner of disease among the people.

Teaching means to explain, instruct, and expound.

Preaching means to proclaim after the manner of a herald always with the suggestion of formality, gravity and an authority which must be listened to and obeyed.

After Jesus taught and preached the Gospel He confirmed the Truth with observable fruit.  We must move in that direction ourselves and no longer be resigned to anything less.  We should expect signs to confirm HIS Word to us as well for Jesus manifested the pure intent of FATHER and as we are cleansed and purified, we too should produce similar fruit.

In the Pentecostal Age, we saw and experienced in part but now a new visitation is at hand.  The train is leaving the station and we should be all aboard.  This visitation will be accompanied by a much greater manifestation than what was seen in the twentieth century.  The world is darker but the light is becoming brighter to consume the darkness at hand.  Men’s perversions will be met with a greater purity than ever before.

Matthew 5:8  Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.

As we receive FATHER’S Word to us daily our hearts are cleansed unto purity.  We should expect to begin seeing a change first on the inside and then expressed outwardly.  I can attest to that reality as I now view others with a much greater Love than ever before.  FATHER has been changing my heart with HIS Word and I perceive the changes even though some are subtle.  I assure you those that know me are thankful for the change.  I am most thankful of all for HIS great Grace and Mercy in my life.

When Jesus began His ministry there were vast numbers of people who needed healing and restoration.  Jesus responded.  We must embrace the reality that it is FATHER’S Will for all to be healed and restored and quit rationalizing and living in a lesser state.  We are constantly bombarded with other suggested realities by the medical profession and the drug industry. 

It can be a real challenge to unplug and remove yourself from the path the healthcare industry would keep you on.  FATHER is the only ONE who can minister to you in this area.  HE must deal with you in those areas that are contrary to HIS healing power.  By focusing on healing Scriptures and dwelling on them day and night will your body come into agreement.  The Word must become more real than the drugs being administered and you will know when that occurs.  Let FATHER minister to you how to proceed for the path is unique to you based on your situation.

“All manner of sickness and disease” did not leave anything to chance.  Cancer is simply an uncontrolled division of abnormal cells in a part of the body.  The body is designed to remove abnormal cells when it is working according to its design.  FATHER’S Divine Intent is that our bodies work according to their design.  Let us seek HIS Wisdom, understanding, knowledge, and skill in addressing all sickness and disease.  Jesus is our example and He did not walk around with a white coat and a stethoscope draped around His neck.  As you change inwardly, the outward will reflect the change and be a confirmation to you.

In Matthew chapter 5, Jesus spoke:

17 “Do not think that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy but to fulfill.

18 For assuredly, I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away, one jot or one tittle will by no means pass from the law till all is fulfilled.

19 Whoever therefore breaks one of the least of these commandments, and teaches men so, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but whoever does and teaches them, he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.

20 For I say to you, that unless your righteousness exceeds the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven.”

The word “teach” means to show or explain to (someone) how to do something.  In order to bring forth the Kingdom, we must produce observable fruit to confirm that FATHER is working through us.  Jesus confirmed FATHER’S Word with signs following and He practiced what He preached.  “For GOD so Loved the world” is the motivation for all that Jesus did and every Word He spoke.  He taught the disciples Love and ultimately they grasped it as they went throughout the known world and did the same.

Jesus made it clear that the Law was to be summed up in Love when He spoke in Matthew 22:

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.”

If we bring these two passages together we can see that whoever separates himself from Love and teaches others in the same manner will be least in the Kingdom.  Whoever walks in Love and teaches others to walk in Love shall be called great in the Kingdom of Heaven.  Which path are you pursuing?  Can this Truth be any simpler?  Think about this today!

It can be challenging to convey in words what is now at hand but I trust FATHER will continue to provide us with the appropriate language to describe the events transpiring.  The word express means to press outward, to exude, to show, manifest, or reveal what is inward.  It is the “effect” of “cause”.

Since August 31st, things are not the same.  The Spiritual activity has increased dramatically and the flow of the SPIRIT has had some type of activation.  It is my belief that if you are reading these words, you are being summoned to participate in whatever FATHER is doing now.  I recently wrote of the three knocks and since then another Mary has heard two knocks in the Spirit.  I must conclude that we are in the midst of a countdown in a Spiritual sense.

Neither your age nor your past will prevent you from becoming HIS Expression on earth.  We all have the opportunity to bring Heaven to earth as we truly understand the LORD’S Prayer Jesus gave to all men in the Sermon on the Mount.  Once and for all Jesus who is the manifested expression of FATHER gave us those critical words that begin the prayer- Our FATHER.  If only we could fully embrace the first two words would all of Heaven open up to us!  HE is our Loving FATHER and not one individual on earth is excluded.  When Jesus gave us those words to express the relationship of our CREATOR to each of us, He had not yet been to the cross.  Once and for all did Jesus express the true relationship each of us has with THE LORD GOD ALMIGHTY yet men still attempt to keep their distance in word and deed from HIM.

Have you had no apparent Spiritual activity at a personal level?  Be not dismayed but continue pressing in and do not let your mind convince you that you are unworthy, left out, left behind, too immature, too old, too young, or any other trumped up reason for not participating.  I say PRESS IN!  Be ye not double-minded and become unstable but instead put your thoughts into submission and allow your spirit to prevail.  It is time we become HIS Expression.

Hebrews 1:1 God, who at various times and in various ways spoke in time past to the fathers by the prophets,

2 has in these last days spoken to us by His Son, whom He has appointed heir of all things, through whom also He made the worlds;

3 who being the brightness of His glory and the express image of His person, and upholding all things by the word of His power, when He had by Himself purged our sins, sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high,

4 having become so much better than the angels, as He has by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they.

Jesus is the first of many sons and they too are becoming the express image of FATHER.  This is precisely why FATHER has me write about changing and focusing on the inward man rather than focusing on external events.  The inward changes the outward; we ex-press what is on the inside; we shall be know by our fruit.  How many ways does this Truth need to be expressed?

It has now been 10 years since FATHER has had me focus on the revelation of Love.  December of 2005 was the month HE gave me the mandate.  In 1997, HE alerted me of that mandate yet to be fully revealed at the time.  Clearly HE was in no hurry and there was to be a time of preparation before I would ready to receive what was to be revealed beginning in 2005.

As we focus our attention and priority on becoming HIS Expression we should expect fruitfulness as a result.  We will see and experience an awareness in an apparent increase in Spiritual activity.  I say apparent because the activity has not been dormant but simply the expression is taking on a different phase in its outworking.  There is a revealing that is now occurring and FATHER is opening our eyes so that we can fully comprehend the Truth and light of HIS Word.  This revealing is for the purpose of becoming HIS Expression to all mankind and none will be left out.  Embrace what HE is doing today and focus on becoming more sensitive to HIS SPIRIT.  It is not business as usual.
