None of us should take life for granted.  Any of us can be removed from this physical life in a moment so we should awaken each day with a heart of gratitude and reverence for Our Heavenly Father.  As my close friend Dr. Vincent Speckhart would say,  “The body is designed to heal itself and the body is designed to live forever.”  What causes decay and decline? Impurities of various types.

It is my belief that as we walk in true reverence of FATHER, HE will lead us to the pure and away from the impure.  As we become more and more sensitive to HIM, our bodies will respond accordingly.  It will not change the day of our appointed departure, but it will improve our days or quality of life until then.  Paul wrote in 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.

How would you like to walk in peace 100% of the time?  It is possible as you move closer to FATHER on a daily basis.  When your focus is on FATHER and HIS Character, you will experience fear and trembling as some point as an outward response to reverence.  The more you think on these things, the true, the noble, the just, the pure, you will begin to experience changes within yourself.  There will be a change in priorities and you will suddenly need less to live a blessed life.  You will begin to see others in a pure manner and have compassion on their circumstances and become sensitive to their needs.  You will look for ways to be a blessing in their life rather than exploit any weakness you encounter.

There are many who are looking for a title or status to hide or mask their insecurity.  If they can only be acknowledged as someone important then maybe they will internally live up to that which they present themselves to be.  Compared to FATHER, none of us can claim any title or position other than being one of HIS children.  We should simply be grateful that HE saw fit to reveal that fact to us.  As we mature IN HIM, the need for facades simply vanishes away.  We now look forward to serving HIS Divine Intent of Love rather than our own individual agendas.  Can you imagine an earth filled with those who desire to serve in Love?

There has been a theme of late of “judgment and justice” swirling around in the SPIRIT.  Those who would attempt to exploit HIS Called Out Ones or interfere with HIS mandate will find out what fear and trembling is all about.  When the day of visitation has arrived, the allowance of sin and lawlessness is no longer tolerated.  When HIS Presence is at hand, the ground becomes Holy and we must remove our shoes.  When we remove our shoes, we yield our rights and any perceived authority and submit to FATHER’S full and complete power and authority.

As we experience true reverence of being in the presence of FATHER, we will change.  That continues to be the theme of these writings.  As Romans chapter 12 states:

1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service.

2 And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

I expect that many will soon experience reverence in their lives and when that happens, the outer shell will dissolve and the Truth will only remain.

Loren Matzke made the transition out of his physical body at 3:20 PM on October 31st and we will all miss him.  Loren was an organic farmer in Good Thunder, Minnesota, and Loved FATHER with all his heart.  He ministered to the Dakota Indians to right the wrong done to them by the white settlers and was recently honored for his ministry to to them.  His beloved wife Margaret is the classic example of Love and they both brightened our day simply by their presence.

If FATHER moves upon you to assist Margaret, please mark your donation to Servias Ministries and we will send her a Love gift.  If you should decide to give by credit card on the www.unity153.net site, we will assume all credit card donations over the next two weeks are meant for Margaret.

In Acts chapter 5, the disciples were now operating in the Holy Spirit and signs were following them.   Now the multitude of those who believed were of one heart and one soul; neither did anyone say that any of the things he possessed was his own, but they had all things in common.  The people were in unity and knew that their visitation was at hand.  What had been important to them just days before was no longer of any consequence for everything had shifted.  The Day of Pentecost had arrived and their time was now at hand.  They had fully embraced FATHER’S Plan except for a particular couple named Ananias and his wife Sapphira:

1 But a certain man named Ananias, with Sapphira his wife, sold a possession.

2 And he kept back part of the proceeds, his wife also being aware of it, and brought a certain part and laid it at the apostles’ feet.

3 But Peter said, “Ananias, why has Satan filled your heart to lie to the Holy Spirit and keep back part of the price of the land for yourself?

4 While it remained, was it not your own? And after it was sold, was it not in your own control? Why have you conceived this thing in your heart? You have not lied to men but to God.”

5 Then Ananias, hearing these words, fell down and breathed his last. So great fear came upon all those who heard these things.

6 And the young men arose and wrapped him up, carried him out, and buried him.

It is my expectation that great fear may be coming soon and most people will experience great fear.  On a recent trip to Washington, D.C., one of our members experienced a vision of a great earthquake (8.3 or 8.4) while standing in the lobby of a Fairfax hotel.  I don’t know how this will play out whether it be an earthquake in the natural, economic, or spiritual… or all the above.  It was reconfirmed this last Friday in Charlotte.

Are you prepared to be “all in” or will you attempt to hold out?  Will you try to withhold from the Holy Spirit thinking that no one will know?  Many talk the talk but don’t walk the walk.  There are many signs pointing to an epic shift ahead and none will be spared the effects or impact of this shift.  How will you react and respond when this occurs?  For years FATHER had me write to alert the reader of the economic tremors at hand and even today they are more pronounced than ever before.  There has been no change in the direction of the current system and the warnings are out there.  Those who heeded the warnings have put their house in order and I am grateful for the apparent delay of the inevitable.

FATHER had me shift my focus to the spiritual preparation of the brethren at a personal level for those who have ears to hear.  Rather than focusing on observation of events, we must focus on our personal relationship with FATHER.  We must ready ourselves for what is coming by aligning ourselves with FATHER’S Divine Intent of Love.  Why?  As the Beloved Disciples tell us in 1 John chapter 4:

17 Love has been perfected among us in this: that we may have boldness in the day of judgment; because as He is, so are we in this world.

18 There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves torment. But he who fears has not been made perfect in love.

19 We love Him because He first loved us.

If we walk in perfect Love we will not fear when the day of judgment is fully manifested.  By directing your focus to the critical point being made by John, I am doing my part in preparing those who have ears to hear.  Yes, great fear will arrive on the scene soon but perfect Love will be the only answer and men will seek out those who have this great Love.  Their lights will shine brightly as the day of judgment approaches.

My Beloved Wife and I will be traveling to express our Love and show our support to a loving couple whom we have known for many years.  This couple is the full expression of walking in Love.  There are times of ministry as well there are simply times of fellowship and support.  We must embrace both with gratitude.  Sometimes a heartfelt hug can communicate more than words possibly can and it is difficult to hug someone through the phone, Skype, or Facetime.  It’s time for a road trip and I will not post any writings for a couple of days.

Romans 6:22 But now having been set free from sin, and having become slaves of God, you have your fruit to holiness, and the end, everlasting life. 23 For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

None of us deserved eternal life in Christ for it was a gift from Our Heavenly Father.  So the question becomes, “What are you doing with your gift?”  Are you furthering the Kingdom and its business or are you spending the day consuming it for yourself?  Have you been duped into having all your focus on some future event or are you making the best of each day?

Jesus spent 3 1/2 years spreading the Good News and ministering life to all those ready to receive.  The disciples took the same message to the uttermost parts of the known world as well.  We all can do the same as we walk out our gifts and callings.  A kind word to a stranger could be the one spark that was needed to change his or her life.  The Holy Spirit was also given as a gift as Peter told the crowd:

Acts 2:38 Then Peter said to them, “Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.

39 For the promise is to you and to your children, and to all who are afar off, as many as the Lord our God will call.”

How many gifts have you received that end up in the corner of the closet never to be used?  FATHER gave us a gift greater than anything man can create yet many of us have left this particular gift dormant.  Set yourself to purpose to walk by THE SPIRIT from this day forward.  Quiet your soul and walk by THE SPIRIT.  Set your mind to be a servant which is what it was designed to do, not create problems to be solved.  Paul wrote in Romans 8:

12 Therefore, brethren, we are debtors—not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh.

13 For if you live according to the flesh you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live.

14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God.

15 For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out, “Abba, Father.”

16 The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God,

17 and if children, then heirs—heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him, that we may also be glorified together.

You have been given the gift of eternal life, you have been given the gift of the Holy Spirit, and now it is time to actively walk in these gifts for FATHER did not give them to us to be set aside and collect us.  We have the choice to purpose to walk and be led by THE SPIRIT.  The more you focus and move forward in this area, the more sensitive to THE SPIRIT you will become.  You will see fruit come forth as you walk along this path guided by Love.  It is time for you to exercise your faith in the fact that FATHER Loved you and I so much that HE gave us both gifts out of HIS Divine Intent of Love.

At first you may stumble a few times but do not give up.  As you continue to walk and be led by THE SPIRIT, your sensitivity will increase by use.  Don’t let circumstance snuff out the light you are called to be in this world moving toward gross darkness.  The darker the surroundings, the brighter your light.  Let your gift shine before men for they are in desperate need to be guided out of darkness whether they realize it or not.

FATHER spoke to the children of Israel in Deuteronomy chapter 8:

1 “Every commandment which I command you today you must be careful to observe, that you may live and multiply, and go in and possess the land of which the LORD swore to your fathers.

2 And you shall remember that the LORD your God led you all the way these forty years in the wilderness, to humble you and test you, to know what was in your heart, whether you would keep His commandments or not.

3 So He humbled you, allowed you to hunger, and fed you with manna which you did not know nor did your fathers know, that He might make you know that man shall not live by bread alone; but man lives by every word that proceeds from the mouth of the LORD.

4 Your garments did not wear out on you, nor did your foot swell these forty years.

As we hear and respond to FATHER, it is HE Who sustains us.  Men who do not hear HIS Voice simply go forth in their own understanding, reasoning, and soulish observations and try to make the best of what they know how to do.  They live a life of scarcity and never have enough no matter how much they obtain.  FATHER made it quite clear WHO would bless what the children of Israel would set their hands to.  HE gave them a warning:

11 “Beware that you do not forget the LORD your God by not keeping His commandments, His judgments, and His statutes which I command you today,

12 lest—when you have eaten and are full, and have built beautiful houses and dwell in them;

13 and when your herds and your flocks multiply, and your silver and your gold are multiplied, and all that you have is multiplied;

14 when your heart is lifted up, and you forget the LORD your God who brought you out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage;”

This warning is a parallel to that which we see today especially in the U.S.  Mankind has moved away from FATHER’s Word and have taken a path toward destruction.  Genetically modified food is now taking its toll on the health of the people.  People are challenging the CREATOR’S Wisdom in determining what sex they should be.  The definition of marriage has been changed though it has not changed in the Heavenlies.  People will look back and say “What were we thinking?”  However there is a Remnant reserved for FATHER’S preparation to bring for HIS Kingdom to replace the current system and all of these soulish and lawless acts will be judged with HIS Justice.

HIS Remnant will not forget HIM but dwell safely with HIM as this judgment comes forth.  When the death angel passed over Egypt, the children of Israel who harkened to HIS Word were spared.  The sons who were kept safe from the death angel are the same sons who became men and entered the Promised Land forty years later.  They were well aware of the high stakes of disobedience.  FATHER reminded them:

17 then you say in your heart, ‘My power and the might of my hand have gained me this wealth.’

18 “And you shall remember the LORD your God, for it is He who gives you power to get wealth, that He may establish His covenant which He swore to your fathers, as it is this day.

19 Then it shall be, if you by any means forget the LORD your God, and follow other gods, and serve them and worship them, I testify against you this day that you shall surely perish.

The purpose of obtaining wealth is to establish HIS Covenant.  If you hear and respond to HIS Word concerning what wealth you have then you are fulfilling your part in establishing HIS Covenant.  If you don’t listen to HIM and “go off and do your own thing”, you will be subject to HIS judgment and justice as well.  No matter what the amount HE directs you to give, invest, loan, or otherwise, simply do it!  Don’t let your left brain know what your right brain is doing or you will be talked out of a blessing like you probably have so many times in the past.  I write these things so you would not be ignorant of what it means to be given the power to get wealth.  Deuteronomy 8:18 is as appropriate today as it was when first spoken.  FATHER changes not!

In the 5th chapter of Galatians, Paul makes three critical points:

5 For we through the Spirit eagerly wait for the hope of righteousness by faith. 6 For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision avails anything, but faith working through love.

13 For you, brethren, have been called to liberty; only do not use liberty as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another. 14 For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this: “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.”

16 I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh.

These three points are made by Paul knowing that we can DO these things or the Holy Spirit would not have had him write these directives.  If we establish a foundation of Love that all actions are based on, we will be fruitful in all we set our hands to do.  We will be able to hear FATHER and thus walk in faith knowing FATHER will cause HIS Word to come to pass in our lives.  The “great” men of faith had a personal relationship with FATHER and trusted HIS Word.  They were actually ordinary men who were willing to believe FATHER Who is the GREAT ONE.  They were committed to serving HIM and doing HIS Word in the face of ridicule and pressure from the world.

The current system does not have the answers to the looming problems.  Their focus is to treat the symptoms of the problem rather than the source of the problem.  If you have problems that are not being solved, you must check your intent.  II James chapter 4:

3 You ask and do not receive, because you ask amiss, that you may spend it on your pleasures.

One of the most fundamental laws in Scripture is that you reap what you sow.  If you sow Love, you will reap Love; if you sow peace, you will reap peace;  If you sow finances, you will reap finances; and if you sow mercy you will reap mercy.  But also, if you sow discord, you will reap discord…

7 Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you. 8 Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded.

I have spoken much on giving in the financial area because most people are double-minded and impure in this area.  This most subtle area of double-mindedness is so critical to the purification issue.  Many will not talk or write about finances for they are afraid of offending their supporters.  Those with sufficient financial resources are notably warned about how their financial status can be one of the most difficult problems to overcome.  Having seen FATHER extract roughly 12 million dollars from one wealthy man in a matter of a few weeks causes me to be very sensitive to the need to deal in such a sensitive area.  We must focus on the purity of heart and not let finances be the one area that keeps us from being chosen as mature Sons.

How can you serve if you are unwilling to give?  This is a sign of being double-minded.  Are you not willing to bear the cost of helping those in need yet you want FATHER to bless you?  Did not Jesus bear the full cost of your salvation yet you are reluctant to help others in some manner?  In Deuteronomy chapter 28, we find FATHER’S commitment to those whom HE can trust to walk according to HIS Divine Intent:

1 “Now it shall come to pass, if you diligently obey the voice of the LORD your God, to observe carefully all His commandments which I command you today, that the LORD your God will set you high above all nations of the earth. 2 And all these blessings shall come upon you and overtake you, because you obey the voice of the LORD your God:

3 “Blessed shall you be in the city, and blessed shall you be in the country.

4 “Blessed shall be the fruit of your body, the produce of your ground and the increase of your herds, the increase of your cattle and the offspring of your flocks.

5 “Blessed shall be your basket and your kneading bowl.

6 “Blessed shall you be when you come in, and blessed shall you be when you go out.

7 “The LORD will cause your enemies who rise against you to be defeated before your face; they shall come out against you one way and flee before you seven ways.

8 “The LORD will command the blessing on you in your storehouses and in all to which you set your hand, and He will bless you in the land which the LORDyour God is giving you.

9 “The LORD will establish you as a holy people to Himself, just as He has sworn to you, if you keep the commandments of the LORD your God and walk in His ways. 10 Then all peoples of the earth shall see that you are called by the name of the LORD, and they shall be afraid of you. 11 And the LORD will grant you plenty of goods, in the fruit of your body, in the increase of your livestock, and in the produce of your ground, in the land of which the LORD swore to your fathers to give you. 12 The LORD will open to you His good treasure, the heavens, to give the rain to your land in its season, and to bless all the work of your hand. You shall lend to many nations, but you shall not borrow. 13 And the LORD will make you the head and not the tail; you shall be above only, and not be beneath, if you heed the commandments of the LORD your God, which I command you today, and are careful to observe them. 14 So you shall not turn aside from any of the words which I command you this day, to the right or the left, to go after other gods to serve them.

When you listen and obey FATHER whose Divine Intent is Love, you will walk in faith and your walk will be rewarded.  You will become a vessel where Love, peace, joy, finances, and other fruit will flow.  The key is to not stop the flow and consume it all upon yourself.  To him that has, more will be given.  Faith truly believes FATHERS Words in this area no matter what the current situation would suggest.

Jeremiah 1:10 ​​See, I have this day set you over the nations and over the kingdoms,

​​To root out and to pull down,

​​To destroy and to throw down,

​​To build and to plant.”

​

11 Moreover the word of the LORD came to me, saying, “Jeremiah, what do you see?”

And I said, “I see a branch of an almond tree.”

As I wrote 42 days ago, one of my wife’s recent Spiritual occurrences has been tied to Aaron’s rod that budded almonds.  She heard two creaking sounds in the house late one night.  The sounds were as an old door or lid was opening or closing.  Afterward FATHER lead me to the understanding of what she heard, I believe one of the sounds is tied to Aaron’s rod.  Recall that during the dedication of Solomon’s Temple, Aaron’s rod and the omer of manna was not in the ark:

1 Kings 8:9  Nothing was in the ark except the two tablets of stone which Moses put there at Horeb, when the LORD made a covenant with the children of Israel, when they came out of the land of Egypt.

Aaron’s rod and the omer of manna have been hidden ever since.  Both articles have been reserved in a separate “box” until now.  I believe my wife heard the second box being opened.  This is based on the fact that FATHER specifically had me share this occurrence with a man named Samuel.  It turns out that he had been given a dream several years ago concerning a box in an attic.  In the dream, Jesus took him up into the attic and opened the box.  It had not been opened for an extremely long time and it creaked as He opened it.  Inside were the two items missing from the ark: Aaron’s rod and the omer of manna.

The second creaking noise is believed to be a door shutting that has been open for a long time.  I believe this door is the determining factor to those who have been called and chosen into the first squadron or group.  When this door shuts, the selection is complete.  I believe the almond is tied directly to the revelation of Love for the almond looks like an eye.  The almond was included in the ornate structure of the lampstand that FATHER instructed the artisans to form.

Dr. Stephen Jones appropriately describes the lampstand:

“We took note that the Candlestick in the tabernacle had 22 almonds on it (Ex. 25:33, 34). Each of the 6 branches had 3 almond bowls, but the 7th (center) branch had 4. So 6 x 3 = 18 on the six branches, plus 4 on the central branch brings 22 almonds in all.

22 almonds on 7 branches, of course, is a mathematical representation of pi, which is 22/7, or 3.14. It is the same revelation found on the 8th day of Tabernacles, which always falls on the 22nd day of the 7th month (Hebrew calendar).

Pi is the 16th letter of the Greek alphabet and has a numerical value of 70. It is the numerical equivalent of the Hebrew letter ayin, which also has a numeric value of 70. The ayin literally means an "eye," and was originally written in the shape of an almond with a dot in the middle.”

The number 16 is associated with Love and FATHER has interwoven the light of the lampstand with the almond and Love.  Aaron’s rod is tied specifically to the power and authority to root out, pull down, destroy, throw down, to build and to plant.  Judgment is at hand and the Kingdom will come forth quickly.  Why quickly?  Consider Aaron’s rod when FATHER confirmed who had the power and authority:

Numbers 17:8 Now it came to pass on the next day that Moses went into the tabernacle of witness, and behold, the rod of Aaron, of the house of Levi, had sprouted and put forth buds, had produced blossoms and yielded ripe almonds.

Buds, blossoms, and ripe almonds… the natural time of sowing and reaping was shortened.  Aaron’s rod had all three phases of growth on it at the same time.  The work at hand will be a quick work and we have been alerted by the sound of the box opening.  The exposing of the power and authority is now before us.  Be alert and do not grow weary in well doing.

Let this 2nd writing on Aaron’s rod cause you to focus on hearing FATHER even to a greater degree and intensity.
