Enter into the Joy

October 6th, 2015

Just after Jesus shared the parable of the wise and foolish virgins, He immediately addressed the expectation of FATHER for mankind to be productive.  Growth and productivity are attributes of the Kingdom, not decline, decrease, and failure.  What is your trend?  Are you being productive or have you become stagnant?

Matthew 25:14   “For the kingdom of heaven is like a man traveling to a far country, who called his own servants and delivered his goods to them.

15   And to one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one, to each according to his own ability; and immediately he went on a journey.”

A great quality of parables is that they are multi-faceted and express several truths.  Their application depends on the facet you look at and is not restricted by nature.  Men attempt to apply parables in a singular fashion to support their view or rationalize why they are in their current state.  As an example, you can attempt to spiritualize a parable and miss its physical application thus justifying why you are not making a difference in your own surroundings.

The universe is constantly expanding.  The plant kingdom is constantly producing seed after its own kind as a method of continual expansion.  The animal kingdom is constantly reproducing, especially if you are a rabbit, rat, or mouse.  The point is that there is a balance FATHER created on earth and we cannot overlook one aspect of our life and solely focus on another.

Each of us has a set of abilities and some have more than others.  Simply embrace your own abilities and focus those abilities on being productive.  FATHER does not expect you to achieve beyond your gifts and calling but on the other hand, HE expects you to grow and be productive.  Those who embrace this fact will tap into the resources of Heaven and be blessed accordingly.

16 Then he who had received the five talents went and traded with them, and made another five talents.

17 And likewise he who had received two gained two more also.

18 But he who had received one went and dug in the ground, and hid his lord’s money.

19 After a long time the lord of those servants came and settled accounts with them.

FATHER expects us to increase, grow, improve, and mature.  As we conduct business we should expect a positive result.  Rather than focusing on meeting minimum requirements, we should promote excellence in our endeavors.  Jesus did not constantly walk around in lack but had sufficiency throughout His ministry.  The Tabernacle in the wilderness was not a dilapidated tent barely able to stand.  In the Kingdom’s business, scarcity is not an issue and if it is not an issue in Heaven, it should not be an issue on earth.  Those who are called to establish HIS Kingdom should expect success in what HE has called them to do.  Anything less would suggest you don’t know FATHER well enough yet.

Two of the three servants pleased FATHER and entered into HIS Joy:

20 “So he who had received five talents came and brought five other talents, saying, ‘Lord, you delivered to me five talents; look, I have gained five more talents besides them.’

21 His lord said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant; you were faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things. Enter into the joy of your lord.’

22 He also who had received two talents came and said, ‘Lord, you delivered to me two talents; look, I have gained two more talents besides them.’

23 His lord said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant; you have been faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things. Enter into the joy of your lord.’

However the third servant did not know FATHER and had no fruit to show for what FATHER had given him:

24 “Then he who had received the one talent came and said, ‘Lord, I knew you to be a hard man, reaping where you have not sown, and gathering where you have not scattered seed.

25 And I was afraid, and went and hid your talent in the ground. Look, there you have what is yours.’

26 “But his lord answered and said to him, ‘You wicked and lazy servant, you knew that I reap where I have not sown, and gather where I have not scattered seed.

27 So you ought to have deposited my money with the bankers, and at my coming I would have received back my own with interest.

28 So take the talent from him, and give it to him who has ten talents.

The unproductive servant displeased FATHER and was judged accordingly.  You are not going to be able to point your finger at others when your time of reconciliation is at hand.  You can make all the excuses in the world but nevertheless your own fruit or lack of will be the determining factor in your assessment.  Are you a janitor?  Be the best janitor your company has seen.  Are you a mail clerk?  Be noted by your peers for doing the best job.  You don’t have to be a CEO of a company to please FATHER but simply use the gifts you have and be productive.  The servant with two talents received the same reward as the servant with five.

One translation of “entering into the joy” is “Come and share your master’s happiness!”.  This may seem fundamental to some who know the story well but we must revisit the fundamentals from time to time in so that we don’t forget our primary mission statement to be fruitful and multiply.  How else will the Kingdom spread throughout the earth?  After their day of visitation, the disciples did not return to the upper room and become couch potatoes for the remainder of their lives.  Neither should we.

The Appointed Time

October 5th, 2015

Who chooses your appointed time?  Only Our Heavenly Father has the wherewithal to determine such an event.  It is HE who anoints us with power and authority and no one else.  There are those who have been given derivative power but it is always subordinate to Divine power.  In Deuteronomy chapter 31, Moses was giving the children of Israel their final instructions before entering into the Promised Land:

6 “Be strong and of good courage, do not fear nor be afraid of them; for the LORD your God, He is the One who goes with you. He will not leave you nor forsake you.”

When FATHER is specifically involved with your affairs, HE is the ONE who goes with you and ensures success.  You will have the boldness to go forth and not worry about the outcome knowing that FATHER will guide you through any and all obstacles placed before you.  Men will be unable to thwart your progress and none will be able to resist your anointing.  Those who persist in being a hindrance will be removed and as you see this occur GODLY fear will come upon you.

Just as Moses spoke to all of Israel, he also spoke directly to Joshua:

7 Then Moses called Joshua and said to him in the sight of all Israel, “Be strong and of good courage, for you must go with this people to the land which the LORD has sworn to their fathers to give them, and you shall cause them to inherit it.

8 And the LORD, He is the One who goes before you. He will be with you, He will not leave you nor forsake you; do not fear nor be dismayed.”

FATHER will not abandon us in the middle of what HE has called us to do.  HE is not a man who tires after a long day or journey nor are HIS resources limited and will run out before HE accomplishes that which HE has ordained.  HE will draw men unto you to provide the required skill sets for they have been in preparation for such a time as this.  HE has also used the heathen to hold storehouses of value until HE is ready for their deployment.  We must be of good courage at our time of visitation for it is HIS appointed time for us.

When FATHER calls forth a jubilee at an appointed time, HE will bring it to pass and you can walk in full assurance as HE prepares the way for you.  You will experience great faith as you lay hold of this assurance.  You too will be about your FATHER’S business.  Your time of maturing and preparation have come to an end and you are now ready to properly take on all that FATHER has called and anointed you to do.  There is an excitement in the air as you wake up in the mornings.  There is an empowerment that rises up in you knowing that it comes from FATHER.

Each member of the Body is important and think not your station in life is of little or no value.  There were many unnamed men and women in the Bible used mightily by FATHER and their acts were meant to glorify HIM not themselves.  Gideon’s 300 were mostly unnamed mighty warriors who were prepared and empowered by FATHER for their mission.  Their success was shared by all of Israel.  There will be some whose job is simply to pray or encourage those who have been called to the front line.  Do not belittle those people.  Others will be called to simply fund the effort and let them embrace their mandate as well.  The ministry of helps is just as important to FATHER as those called to leadership.  The leaders must not have their attention diverted away from their own calling because of some loose end that could be handled by another called-out one.

Every person who is called provides an important service to FATHER and no matter what the calling, we should all embrace it with passion.  Let us not be weary in doing good.  Heaven and earth are HIS witnesses of this visitation.  There will be those who respond in faith and those who will simply remain passive and “die” in the wilderness.  When the Captain of the Host shows up we must align ourselves with Him, not our previous plans or agenda:

Joshua 5:13 And it came to pass, when Joshua was by Jericho, that he lifted his eyes and looked, and behold, a Man stood opposite him with His sword drawn in His hand. And Joshua went to Him and said to Him, “Are You for us or for our adversaries?”

14 So He said, “No, but as Commander of the army of the LORD I have now come.”

And Joshua fell on his face to the earth and worshiped, and said to Him, “What does my Lord say to His servant?”

15 Then the Commander of the LORD’s army said to Joshua, “Take your sandal off your foot, for the place where you stand is holy.” And Joshua did so.

HE is not with us, we are with HIM and it is critical for you to understand the difference.  As we respond to HIS Visitation, we will have the full power and authority to proceed in our calling.  The appointed time is at hand.

Faith or Futility

October 4th, 2015

There comes a time when you must decide which path you will take: the one of faith, or the one of futility.  Futility means fruitlessness, pointlessness, the quality of having no useful result; uselessness; Lack of importance or purpose; frivolousness.  In Psalm 78, FATHER describes the children of Israel who had no faith IN HIM to go into the Promised Land:

32 ​​In spite of this (all the miracles HE did on their behalf) they still sinned,

​​And did not believe in His wondrous works.

33 ​​Therefore their days He consumed in futility,

​​And their years in fear.

It is ultimately your choice which path you take.  Some would have you believe you do not have a choice and that your path has been fully predetermined.  If that were true many verses in Scripture would have to be removed.  Love demands that we be given a choice and each of us is accountable for the choices we make or why else would there be a Throne of judgment where our individual lives are to be judged?  You can choose to make no choice and do nothing.  Many choose a life of futility and FATHER will allow it just as HE did with the children in the wilderness who died off before the next generation had their visitation.

Yes we should wait on the LORD until the time of visitation of arrives where HE activates and authenticates men to go forth.  It matters not how you receive the revelation of visitation just as long as you respond.  Think of how Joshua and Caleb had to wait for 38 1/2 years while the futility among their peers ran its course.  Yet at the age of 85, Caleb was able to seize his inheritance.  You are never to old to complete your calling.

FATHER can and will use anyone.  In 2 Kings the 7th chapter,

3 Now there were four leprous men at the entrance of the gate; and they said to one another, “Why are we sitting here until we die?

4 If we say, ‘We will enter the city,’ the famine is in the city, and we shall die there. And if we sit here, we die also. Now therefore, come, let us surrender to the army of the Syrians. If they keep us alive, we shall live; and if they kill us, we shall only die.”

5 And they rose at twilight to go to the camp of the Syrians; and when they had come to the outskirts of the Syrian camp, to their surprise no one was there.

6 For the Lord had caused the army of the Syrians to hear the noise of chariots and the noise of horses—the noise of a great army; so they said to one another, “Look, the king of Israel has hired against us the kings of the Hittites and the kings of the Egyptians to attack us!”

7 Therefore they arose and fled at twilight, and left the camp intact—their tents, their horses, and their donkeys—and they fled for their lives.

The lepers could have sat around doing nothing but instead they took action and became part of the plan to remove the Syrians.  Little did they know that Elisha had been give the Word of THE LORD concerning the coming event:

1 Then Elisha said, “Hear the word of the LORD. Thus says the LORD: ‘Tomorrow about this time a seah of fine flour shall be sold for a shekel, and two seahs of barley for a shekel, at the gate of Samaria.’ ”

2 So an officer on whose hand the king leaned answered the man of God and said, “Look, if the LORD would make windows in heaven, could this thing be?”

And he said, “In fact, you shall see it with your eyes, but you shall not eat of it.”

One might ask “Is this the time of visitation for all mankind or just a few?”.  If you do absolutely nothing, you will never know.  Yet if you take action as FATHER leads you and you become fruitful, then it is your time of visitation as well.  The very fact that you are reading this may be an indication that now is time to act and exercise your faith.  What if you have no job or resources?  Go out and find work by expanding your willingness to do whatever is available.  Consider working for free with the intent of planting seed for a noble cause.  Sitting at home doing nothing points to a life of futility.

What if you have no leading on what to do but have financial resources?  Give to those who are clearly being fruitful in FATHER’S purpose.  Financially supporting those on the “front line” is simply another way to act on faith.  Take on the responsibility of giving and FATHER will bless you.  Those who practice scarcity in their thinking will continue their life in futility.  Those who become givers expecting FATHER to be their provision are exercising their faith.  A great example of this is found in Acts chapter 4:

32 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.

33 And with great power the apostles gave witness to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus. And great grace was upon them all.

34 Nor was there anyone among them who lacked; for all who were possessors of lands or houses sold them, and brought the proceeds of the things that were sold,

35 and laid them at the apostles’ feet; and they distributed to each as anyone had need.

All of these people had faith as their time of visitation had arrived.  Matthias had been chosen as the new treasurer and this is the result of his ministry: none were lacking and there were sufficient resources to distribute to anyone in need.  There are plenty of people who “talk the talk” but only those with Love and faith “walk the walk”.  Which path will you take?  Today is the day for you to choose and it just happens to be the 8th day of the Feast of Tabernacles:

Last Great Day / 8th of Tabernacles – 7/22 = October 4, 2015

            High Sabbath Day / Solemn Assembly.

            Shekinah-glory filled Solomon’s Temple;

            Glory of the LORD comes down; the fullness of the Holy Spirit.

Enter the promised land, God’s Kingdom; (as priests and kings)

            The start of the Second Work of Christ; a living work.

            Leviticus 23:39; Numbers 29:35-40; Joel 2:28-32; John 7:37-39; 2 Chronicles 7:1-14.

Infallible Purpose

October 3rd, 2015

Infallible means “incapable of making mistakes or being wrong”.  In Hebrews chapter 6:

13 For when God made a promise to Abraham, because He could swear by no one greater, He swore by Himself,

14 saying, “Surely blessing I will bless you, and multiplying I will multiply you.”

15 And so, after he had patiently endured, he obtained the promise.

16 For men indeed swear by the greater, and an oath for confirmation is for them an end of all dispute.

17 Thus God, determining to show more abundantly to the heirs of promise the immutability of His counsel, confirmed it by an oath,

18 that by two immutable things, in which it is impossible for God to lie, we might have strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold of the hope set before us.

FATHER made an oath to Abraham and swore by HIMSELF to cause it to come to pass.  Since HE is the Creator of all things, HE WILL make it happen… Period!  There can by no mistake that the blessings of Abraham are for his inheritors and those of us who align ourselves in agreement with Our Heavenly Father qualify.  It wasn’t a matter of “if” but a matter of “time” and Abraham patiently endured.

There is nothing to dispute for the time is now.  No longer are we to listen to men who would always move events out into the future just out of our grasp thus deferring our walk of faith.  We must now live in the here and now.  We must focus our attention and resources when the time of visitation is at hand.  Fear and lack of faith must not be counted among us as we embrace what FATHER is doing today, not tomorrow, not next week, but NOW!

People try to restrict blessing to the Spiritual only while allowing lack and hunger to prevail in the physical.  I say to you today that FATHER is interested in every realm HE created, not just one out of three realms.  HE has the capacity and resources for all realms to be blessed and the only restriction is our own soulish thoughts.  We must come up higher to the level of HIS Infallible Purpose.  We must focus on HIS business, not ours.

The words “My FATHER” are found in the Gospel of John 42 times, more than any other book of the Bible.  Why?  John had the revelation of Love and expressed it through the relationship Jesus has with FATHER.  We have that same relationship and should become accustomed to expressing that relationship without hesitation.  My children and grandchildren do not call me “Henley”.  If they did, it would belittle our relationship.  They refer to and call me with terms of endearment and relationship.  Jesus boldly stated in John 10:30 “ I and My Father are one.”  That being the case, Jesus multiplied the fish and bread to feed the 5,000.  If FATHER wasn’t interested in the physical, why didn’t HE just let the people go hungry?

We must quit putting FATHER in a box or restrict HIS actions by our own reasoning.  HE is not restricted to our calendar, time cycles, blood moons, or any other aspect of man’s understanding.  HE is in the miracle business every day, not just feast days.  Yes, HE has emphasized the observance of certain days for our benefit, not HIS restriction.  HE brought forth manna on a daily basis so the children of Israel would not go hungry.  That in itself was a daily miracle.

HIS Purpose is to bless us in all aspects of our lives: spirit, soul, and body.  If we are sick, we are weak in a certain area.  If we are blinded by doctrine, we are weak in a certain area.  If we are broke, we are weak in a certain area.  If you are sickly, focus your attention on HIS Promises of health and healing.  There is nothing wrong with you confessing an infallible Truth and proclaiming your agreement with it.  Yes, in the past the “name it and claim it” group grabbed ahold of this reality but without the pure intent of Love.  Don’t throw out the baby with the bath water!

I believe our time of visitation is at hand and as for me and my family, we are responding.  We will not sit back in a passive mode and only observe what HE is doing.  Our resources are available for HIS Infallible Purpose for us to take part in the visitation.  Consider the man with the donkey and its colt in Matthew 21:

1 Now when they drew near Jerusalem, and came to Bethphage, at the Mount of Olives, then Jesus sent two disciples,

2 saying to them, “Go into the village opposite you, and immediately you will find a donkey tied, and a colt with her. Loose them and bring them to Me.

3 And if anyone says anything to you, you shall say, ‘The Lord has need of them,’ and immediately he will send them.”

Do you think FATHER blessed the man who provided the resources for HIS Will and Plan to be accomplished?  If FATHER wasn’t interested in our wellbeing as we walk out HIS Plan, why would HE tell us in Deuteronomy 28:

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.

When we diligently obey HIS Voice which results from HIS Divine Intent of Love, blessings will overtake us and we will not suffer lack in what HE has called us to do… in any area.  We must remove any past restrictions our reasoning has placed on us and come up higher.  We must be led by HIS SPIRIT and embrace the day of visitation.  We must lay hold of HIS Infallible Purpose.

Economic Update

Are things heading south in the September/October timeframe as many have suggested?  The Dow Jones Industrial Average graph below would suggest a slow train wreck is occurring.

Will we have another “waterfall” in October?

The Transition

October 2nd, 2015

In Luke chapter 24, we find some interesting Truths that were occurring through the transition form the Age of Passover to the Pentecostal Age:

44 Then He said to them, “These are the words which I spoke to you while I was still with you, that all things must be fulfilled which were written in the Law of Moses and the Prophets and the Psalms concerning Me.” 45 And He opened their understanding, that they might comprehend the Scriptures.

Isn’t it interesting that the disciples had spent 3 1/2 years with Jesus yet He did not fully open their understanding to the big picture until Passover had been fulfilled.  To say they had been in the dark is an understatement.  Had they known what they were going to see and experience, their logic would have convinced them to stay at home rather than walk out the ministry with Jesus.  FATHER’S Wisdom found it necessary to withhold revelation until the time of transition.

Do you think that while they were walking with Jesus and He was healing the sick they had any idea of their blindness?  They didn’t know they were walking in the dark just as the officials of the church did not realize they had come face to face with the Son of the Lord GOD Almighty.  How would we know for a certainty that we are transitioning into the Tabernacles Age?  I would suggest that it is by specific signs following from the power given by FATHER.  Jesus told the disciples what to expect as the transition occurred:

49 Behold, I send the Promise of My Father upon you; but tarry in the city of Jerusalem until you are endued with power from on high.”

HIS power produces direct results.  Mankind has attempted to work up sign as a result of some action or word spoken.  With the power of technology to discover information of events, one can point to some event to confirm a word spoken and claim responsibility for it.  Each of us must individually discern whether FATHER’S fruit is being produced or some counterfeit has come forth.  We must seek out and respond only to the genuine.  We must not let our longing for the transition to cloud our observations.  We must not be led by signs but signs should be following us as we are endued with power from on High.

The ultimate test of a visitation is when FATHER confirms with signs following as indicated in Mark chapter 16:

19  So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God.

20  And they went forth, and preached every where, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following. Amen.

Over the past four decades I have seen and experienced many Spiritual events and have also seen many events claiming to originate from the Throne Room.  Once you see the real thing, it is much easier to discern what is counterfeit.  In HIS great grace, FATHER has exposed fraud and deception so that when the real transition occurs, we are able to differentiate it from the “worked up” illusions of the transition.

I have been deceived in the past by ministry with subtle error attached to it.  Since I am an Spiritual optimist, I am always expecting FATHER to be involved.  To the pure, all things are pure.  Mankind is easily swayed by enticing words that tweak their innermost desires.  If you desire for a move of the Holy Spirit, those in error or deception will exploit that desire hoping to cause you to follow their views.  Each of us must go to the Standard of Truth to determine the genuine from the counterfeit.  We must not allow men’s passion for what they believe to sway us from the Truth.  Good fruit is the ultimate test and we must not fail to test the path being presented to us.

All indications point to this being the time of transition and you can be assured that I will be inspecting fruit once again.  In the big picture, the global economy is moving toward a day of reckoning.  The political scene is populated with people who have no clue to solving the problems at hand.  The weather have become more active and extreme.  The Pentecostal Age continues in its attempt to resurrect past visitations.

Recently I have taken three trips as FATHER has directed and  It appears that things are now happening related to this coming age.  There have been specific confirmations causing me to move forward, otherwise I would have stayed home after the first trip.  Additionally, my wife’s recent re-activation of seeing and hearing in the Spiritual realm after 19 years of dormancy are a clear, personal sign to me.  I will faithfully walk out the path FATHER has me on for I know by several past prophetic visions and words what to expect as I move forward.  I can look back and see that none of us were ready before now.   By understanding you know not to pick the fruit early before its ripening.

I am encouraged by the fruit I see and there has been an awakening concerning the time of visitation.  As this continues manifesting in the physical, I expect to see good fruit as a result.  I expect signs to follow, not lead us.  FATHER will confirm HIS Word and we simply need to be in agreement with HIM AND with no agenda of our own.  The time of transition will prove to be exciting for those who embrace HIS Plan.

The Peril of Not Progressing

October 1st, 2015

FATHER had me write a series titled “Now is the time” and I believe the intent of that series was to prepare those who have ears to hear for the time now at hand.  I believe there is a visitation at hand just as there have been many examples of this in the Scripture.  One such example is found in Luke chapter 19 as Jesus approached Jerusalem:

41 Now as He drew near, He saw the city and wept over it,

42 saying, “If you had known, even you, especially in this your day, the things that make for your peace! But now they are hidden from your eyes.

43 For days will come upon you when your enemies will build an embankment around you, surround you and close you in on every side,

44 and level you, and your children within you, to the ground; and they will not leave in you one stone upon another, because you did not know the time of your visitation.”

I have expressed in recent writings that I sensed an activation and authentication is now upon us.  I do not know the breadth of this visitation in terms of geography or magnitude but if you also sense that this visitation is at hand then it is time to act.  If you do not respond to your time of visitation, you will not enter into the first “squadron” who are called to raise the standard of Truth for the rest of the world to see and measure against.  Each of us has a unique set of resources to bring forth for use in establishing the Kingdom.  Some have inventions they have held back because they feared others would exploit or steal those inventions.  Some have financial resources they have amassed without knowing where to deploy them.  Others have expertise that is underutilized wondering why FATHER has not opened the door for that expertise to benefit mankind.

We have all gone through years of preparation awaiting the day of visitation and some have become dull of hearing.  Those who have become lukewarm will not embrace the day of visitation but will become observers as it fully manifests.  They will not be among the first group for once the door closes, it is shut and separates the first squadron from the others.

Recently my wife was awaken by sounds like the opening and/or closing of a squeaky set of large hinges.  She got up and looked throughout the house and waited for the sound to occur again before she would wake me up.  What she heard was in the Spirit realm and I believe it represent two events:  one was the opening of a box that contained Aaron’s rod and the manna that had been removed from the Ark, the other was the beginning of the closing of the door to the first group of called out ones.  We have been seeing many confirmations of activation and authentication in recent weeks at a personal level (including these trips called missions of Love).  FATHER will show us something and then within minutes, hours, or days it will occur.  There have been occurrences of HIS Presence evoking a reverential fear of shaking as well.

I share this to alert you to the fact that it is now happening and if you are sensing or experiencing similar events, you are not alone.  The time of isolation and separation is coming to an end for those who are called to this visitation.  Paul speaks of this visitation and activation in 1 Corinthians chapter 15:

20 But now Christ is risen from the dead, and has become the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep.

21 For since by man came death, by Man also came the resurrection of the dead.

22 For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ all shall be made alive.

23 But each one in his own order (squadron): Christ the firstfruits, afterward those who are Christ’s at His coming.

24 Then comes the end, when He delivers the kingdom to God the Father, when He puts an end to all rule and all authority and power.

I believe HIS Government is now forming on earth but not how man would expect it to form.  When Love is fully manifested by a group who are in unity, FATHER is in their midst and HIS Government operates by the Law of Love.  There is no need for endless rules and regulations to be instituted forcing those in the group into compliance.  Simple questions such as “What should we do to be our brother’s keeper?” and “What can we do to bless this person?” will resolve which path to take on a daily basis.  Greed and manipulation will not be the motivations of those who are called.

True Kingdom companies will form as a result of FATHER’S Divine Intent being implemented on earth.  These companies will set the standard of conduct by which all companies will be compared.  These companies will be profitable and will expand dramatically as people see the benefit of aligning themselves with FATHER’S Divine Intent.  Other companies which have based their business model on worldly priorities will decline as these Kingdom companies overtake the land.

Each of us must ask the question “Am I all in?”.  Some will hesitate and the door will close.  Some will be afraid to step up and lay it all on the line.  Others will fear for their future because they don’t think anyone else cares about meeting their needs.  Some will hoard their resources just as Ananias and Sapphira in Acts chapter 5.  At any rate, you have been alerted to the peril of not progressing.  The only question will be which side of the door are you on.

HIS Incomprehensible Majesty

September 29th, 2015

As many others, we watched the lunar eclipse Sunday night turn into a blood moon.  We brought out our binoculars and watched intently as the moon moved behind the earth.  You only have to look up and focus on events such as this to consider FATHER’S incomprehensible majesty.  So often we get caught up in our day-to-day grind that we forget the big picture and that FATHER has placed us in HIS creation ultimately to reflect HIS Character of Love.

Acts 9:31 Then the churches throughout all Judea, Galilee, and Samaria had peace and were edified. And walking in the fear of the Lord and in the comfort of the Holy Spirit, they were multiplied.

The fear of THE LORD is the beginning of wisdom (Psalm 111:10) and the early church had this deep reverence as they multiplied.  Think not that this fear was only for that time but it will again come forth in even a greater manner as judgment comes on the earth.  A great shaking will come to earth and all of man’s systems and methods will disintegrate as this occurs:

Hebrews 12:25 See that you do not refuse Him who speaks. For if they did not escape who refused Him who spoke on earth, much more shall we not escape if we turn away from Him who speaks from heaven,

26 whose voice then shook the earth; but now He has promised, saying, “Yet once more I shake not only the earth, but also heaven.”

27 Now this, “Yet once more,” indicates the removal of those things that are being shaken, as of things that are made, that the things which cannot be shaken may remain.

28 Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom which cannot be shaken, let us have grace, by which we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear.

29 For our God is a consuming fire.

The wood, hay, and stubble will be consumed as FATHER’S judgment spreads throughout the earth.  Many have been expecting a Hollywood-style event at this time but I see judgment expanding as HIS Elect grows stronger and can appropriately transition into the fullness of their individual callings.  The fame of HIS Incomprehensible Majesty will spread throughout the earth as mankind’s illusions and deceptions are revealed and shattered by HIS Truth spoken by HIS Elect with signs following.

Man’s technology is no match for FATHER’S resources and the angelic presence set aside for such a time as this.  I have personally experienced the presence of an angel while sitting at a table with Martin Paulat and Carl Petty in Little Jack’s Restaurant in Minneapolis.  In October of 1995 we were discussing the visions FATHER had given and an angel showed up at our table.  I could not move my arms or legs, I was virtually paralyzed by the angel’s presence.  The anointing was strong as we knew the second the angel arrived.  “You will live and not die” was the angel’s message to me that evening.  We all wiped away our tears afterward.  FATHER’S Holy Presence was expressed by the angel.  Technology is no match for the Creator of Heaven and earth.

Revelation 15:3 They sing the song of Moses, the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying:

​​​“Great and marvelous are Your works,

​​Lord God Almighty!

​​Just and true are Your ways,

​​O King of the saints!

4 ​​Who shall not fear You, O Lord, and glorify Your name?

​​For You alone are holy.

​​For all nations shall come and worship before You,

​​For Your judgments have been manifested.”

What an exciting time to experience the majesty of Our Heavenly Father.  There will be those who focus on HIS judgments and those of us who focus on HIS majesty with deep reverence.  HIS Elect will walk in great faith and trust in HIM as HE orders the steps of the righteous.  The elect will not expect HIM to bless their walk but instead will only walk according to what HE instructs for they are fully aligned to HIS Word, not their own thinking or reasoning.

Revelation 14:6 Then I saw another angel flying in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach to those who dwell on the earth—to every nation, tribe, tongue, and people—

7 saying with a loud voice, “Fear God and give glory to Him, for the hour of His judgment has come; and worship Him who made heaven and earth, the sea and springs of water.”

Infallible Proofs

September 28th, 2015

Acts 1:1 The former account I made, O Theophilus, of all that Jesus began both to do and teach, 2 until the day in which He was taken up, after He through the Holy Spirit had given commandments to the apostles whom He had chosen, 3 to whom He also presented Himself alive after His suffering by many infallible proofs, being seen by them during forty days and speaking of the things pertaining to the kingdom of God.

What does the word “infallible” mean?

  1. that from which something is surely and plainly known

  2. on indubitable evidence, a proof

What does “indubitable” mean?

Impossible to doubt; unquestionable, undoubtable, indisputable, unarguable, undebatable,incontestable, undeniable, irrefutable, incontrovertible, unmistakable,unequivocal, certain, sure, positive, definite, absolute, conclusive,watertight, ironclad.

Today, there are many who would convince us that FATHER is squarely behind them as they speak and write words attributed to HIM.  Ultimately there must be infallible proofs for us to be assured of what men are saying is truly from Above.  This is where activation must be followed authentication.  No one can be critical of those who believe what they are seeing is true yet we must be cautious not to get caught up “signs” they claim are attributable to their understanding.

We had a lunar eclipse last night known as a “blood” moon and will not have another one until 2033.  People can attribute that to a prophetic word they are giving but we should look at the fruit to see if they are a true prophet or another false prophet.  Jesus stated in Matthew chapter 7:

15 “Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves.

16 You will know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes from thorn bushes or figs from thistles?

17 Even so, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit.

18 A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit.

19 Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.

20 Therefore by their fruits you will know them.

FATHER’S Word overrides everyone else’s view of the current status.  If HE tells you to go, go; yet if HE tells you to stay then by all means stay.  It is so important that we purpose to fully hear HIM and respond accordingly.  In an interview with Ben Bernanke on the CBS Sunday Morning Show, he admitted to the imminent meltdown of the financial system back in the 2007-2008 time frame.  He also indicated that they didn’t realize that the housing bubble could possibly take down the system.  What?  Myself and plenty of others saw it coming.  Either he was blinded, lying, or ignorant of the reality.  By proclaiming that they were unaware of the seriousness of the problem, he justified the secrecy they operate under.  Do you think men in power have your best interest at heart?  This is just one reason why you must seek to hear FATHER’S Voice for HE always has your best interest at heart.

FATHER will confirm HIS Word with infallible proofs.  If HE leads you to be involved with something or someone, HE will confirm HIS Word to you.  We are in complex times and are being overloaded with information and much of it is of little enduring value.  The Truth can become obscured by the excess of lies unless you base your position according to FATHER’S standard of Truth.  By HIS Standard you can measure everything else presented to you.

Where Does Your Faith Lie?

September 27th, 2015

Are you moved by your circumstances or have you fully placed your trust in FATHER?  FATHER spoke through Isaiah chapter 55:

9 “For as the heavens are higher than the earth,

So are My ways higher than your ways

And My thoughts than your thoughts.

10 “For as the rain and the snow come down from heaven,

And do not return there without watering the earth

And making it bear and sprout,

And furnishing seed to the sower and bread to the eater;

11 So will My word be which goes forth from My mouth;

It will not return to Me empty,

Without accomplishing what I desire,

And without succeeding in the matter for which I sent it.”

We have a certainty of FATHER’S Words coming to pass and you only have to view the stars and the planets to begin to comprehend the vastness of HIS faith-filled Words.  As we hear, comprehend, and respond to FATHER’S Word in our lives, faith is produced and that which is spoken will manifest in the physical realm.  As we walk in the fullness of HIS Divine Intent of Love and by HIS SPIRIT, our words have power which is backed by FATHER.  HE looks over HIS Word to cause it to come to pass.

In Hebrews chapter 11, we find faith’s “Hall of Fame” where each of those included had to deal with their own weakness just like you and me.  Moses killed a man yet FATHER still used him.  Abraham feared for his life and called Sarah his sister rather than his wife yet FATHER still fulfilled his calling.  Jacob was a manipulator yet FATHER changed his nature.  The point is that once you align with FATHER’S plan, will, and purpose you are able to do great things in the area of your calling no matter what your past would suggest.

Once Love has corrected our walk, it is time for faith to be activated.  The Pentecostal Age was known for there being “sin in the camp” thus FATHER removed many from the camp so HE could speak directly to them.  It was necessary in many cases to separate oneself from the teaching of men’s doctrines in order for FATHER to show HIS Truth in Love.  We don’t need to have a man or woman between us and FATHER, interpreting what FATHER is saying to us individually.  Those who sit in the pews day after day have become lukewarm and have lost their passion.  Others embraced the teaching on faith but mixed it with their selfish motives and consumed various blessings on their own lusts.  Many were exposed who took this path.

When faith operates by Love, it is fully acceptable to FATHER and will produce good fruit.  FATHER will activate and authenticate those who walk in this manner.  The fruitfulness of their faith is directed toward the benefit of all of mankind, not for selfish reasons.  When activation occurs, your views will be enlarged and you will walk accordingly.  As the saying goes “ordinary men will do great things.”  Expect FATHER to activate your faith today and let not your circumstance dictate your walk.
