The purpose of the Temple was for Our Heavenly Father to manifest HIMSELF in it as a specific reference point to commune with the people.  HE cannot be contained in a building but HE chose to  have a specific manifestation for mankind to be able to embrace- HIS manifested glory.  As we saw in the last writing, the actual labor was done by 153,600 aliens in the land.  Huram from Tyre was called to utilize his gifts and calling as the senior artisan.  We find that the most precious contents of the Temple were made of gold and silver.  It is FATHER who determines intrinsic value and thus gold and silver have always been deemed to be precious.

1 Kings 6:22  The whole temple he overlaid with gold, until he had finished all the temple; also he overlaid with gold the entire altar that was by the inner sanctuary.

The Temple took seven and a half years to complete:

37 In the fourth year the foundation of the house of the LORD was laid, in the month of Ziv (April-May). 38 And in the eleventh year, in the month of Bul (October-November), which is the eighth month, the house was finished in all its details and according to all its plans. So he was seven years in building it.

In the very center of the Temple was the resting place of the ark where FATHER’S Glory would reside:

2 Chronicles 5:13 indeed it came to pass, when the trumpeters and singers were as one, to make one sound to be heard in praising and thanking the LORD, and when they lifted up their voice with the trumpets and cymbals and instruments of music, and praised the LORD, saying:

​​​“For He is good, ​​For His mercy endures forever,”

​that the house, the house of the LORD, was filled with a cloud,

14 so that the priests could not continue ministering because of the cloud; for the glory of the LORD filled the house of God.

Inside the Ark is where the Covenant with the people was placed.  This Covenant represented the Law which was the foundation of the relationship of FATHER with the people.  This is the focal point where HIS Glory would reside.  This would be the center of the center of Jerusalem, the City of Peace.  This Temple was to be a type and shadow for us today so that we could comprehend a mystery to be brought forth by Jesus Christ.  What is that mystery?

In the center of the center of our being is where FATHER will dwell.  HIS Covenant is Love for Jesus summed up the Law which represented an outward sign of an inward reality in Matthew chapter 22:

36 “Teacher, which is the great commandment in the law?”

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

38 This is the first and great commandment.

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

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

Paul who had been a scholar well-trained in the law was able to comprehend the mystery Jesus spoke of when he wrote in Romans chapter 13:

8  Owe no one anything except to love one another, for he who loves another has fulfilled the law.

9 For the commandments, “You shall not commit adultery,” “You shall not murder,” “You shall not steal,” “You shall not bear false witness,” “You shall not covet,” and if there is any other commandment, are all summed up in this saying, namely, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.”

10 Love does no harm to a neighbor; therefore love is the fulfillment of the law.

If we are to be HIS lively stones and the dwelling place of HIS Glory, it will only be done as we fully embrace the revelation of Love.  Love is at the center of the Law which was in the ark at the center of the Holy of Holies in the center of the Temple in the center of Jerusalem where peace would be found.  Love must be at the center of our focus.  Get the picture?

In 2 Chronicles chapter 2, we find that Solomon is now focused on building the Temple honoring Our Heavenly Father:

11 Then Hiram king of Tyre answered in writing, which he sent to Solomon:

​Because the LORD loves His people, He has made you king over them.

​12 Hiram also said:

​Blessed be the LORD God of Israel, who made heaven and earth, for He has given King David a wise son, endowed with prudence and understanding, who will build a temple for the LORD and a royal house for himself!

FATHER lifted up Solomon, a man of peace, to build HIS Temple where HE would commune with man for a time.  This would be the connection point where FATHER inhabited a place in order for the priest to communicate and be in HIS Presence.  The Temple was to function as a door to the Eternal.  Later, Jesus would be that door and the Glory of FATHER would come through HIS Holy Spirit to dwell in mankind.  We would finally be the temple of HIS Presence.

The King of Tyre was asked by Solomon to send an expert to do the work:

7 ​Therefore send me at once a man skillful to work in gold and silver, in bronze and iron, in purple and crimson and blue, who has skill to engrave with the skillful men who are with me in Judah and Jerusalem, whom David my father provided.

The response:

13 ​And now I have sent a skillful man, endowed with understanding, Huram my master craftsman 14 (the son of a woman of the daughters of Dan, and his father was a man of Tyre), skilled to work in gold and silver, bronze and iron, stone and wood, purple and blue, fine linen and crimson, and to make any engraving and to accomplish any plan which may be given to him, with your skillful men and with the skillful men of my lord David your father.

FATHER knew Huram before HE formed him in the womb and gave him the gifts and calling to become a master craftsman.  You can imagine how Huram’s parents marveled at his attraction and preoccupation with working and crafting gold, silver, bronze, and iron as he was growing up.  Huram had been prepared for this very task at hand, to be a builder of the Temple.

Who did the heavy lifting?  Interestingly enough, Solomon assigned the real work to non-Jews:

17 Then Solomon numbered all the aliens who were in the land of Israel, after the census in which David his father had numbered them; and there were found to be one hundred and fifty-three thousand six hundred.

18 And he made seventy thousand of them bearers of burdens, eighty thousand stonecutters in the mountain, and three thousand six hundred overseers to make the people work.

153,600 aliens in the land actually served all of Israel in building the Temple for they cut the stones and carried them to the construction site.  Would you have been a willing worker to build FATHER’S House and carry the burden for others?  Do you believe that FATHER might have blessed all 153,600 who were burdened with the heavy lifting?  What were their names?  None are mentioned but their participation was critical to the completion of the Temple.

Here we have 153,600 servants whereas Jesus called forth 153 fish to enter into the nets in John 21 as food to be consumed.  The fish were willing to be “eaten” or consumed according to FATHER’S Will.  They were to provide sustenance for the disciples and others.  Surely the disciples did not eat all 153 fish themselves.

I believe that there will soon be a rallying cry for those who have been prepared, called, and chosen to come forth.  They will have the revelation of Love and are willing to carry the burden of others to bring forth the Temple as lively stones.  This Temple of lively stones will be the dwelling place of FATHER for all the world to see.  A Standard will arise and men’s actions will then be compared to that Standard causing a great repentance to come forth.  Love will wipe the tears away.

Jeremiah 29:11  ‘For I know the plans that I have for you,’ declares the LORD, ‘plans for welfare and not for calamity to give you a future and a hope.

12 Then you will call upon Me and come and pray to Me, and I will listen to you.

13 You will seek Me and find Me when you search for Me with all your heart.’

Everyone who reads this should be encouraged that FATHER placed us here and at this time according to HIS Divine Intent of Love.  The planet may see major upheavals soon but be assured that FATHER is fully aware of any and all changes at hand.  HE is not in some distant galaxy unaware of our existence but is intimately involved in the affairs of men. We must trust IN HIM and be reminded of what Paul wrote in the 8th chapter of Romans:

28   And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.

FATHER has a plan for each of us and we should follow, surrender, and pursue HIS Will.  We should surrender our will unto HIS Will just as Queen Esther did when she said “If I perish, I perish.”  When you turn to FATHER, your destiny aligns with HIS Intent for you.  However you must understand that the nature of sin is to stop the Will of FATHER in your life.  You must turn away from sin and walk according to HIS Spirit for the SPIRIT of GOD will lead to the fulfillment of your destiny.

All of us would like to know the full Will of FATHER in advance.  That is not going to happen but you can be assured that the unrevealed Will of FATHER follows the revealed Will of FATHER.  HIS revealed Will places you on the path to HIS unrevealed Will.  Simply obey what you know.  As you pursue HIS Spirit fruit will abound, as Paul wrote in Galatians 6:

22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,

23 gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law.

As long as you are seeking FATHER’S Will, HE will keep the hedge of protection over you.  From all indications, we will NEED that hedge of protection sooner than later.  As things ramp up, you will need to be sensitive to HIS SPIRIT which will guide you with peace.  When you don’t have peace, STOP!  Take no action without HIS Peace in your heart for it is like a warning system to alert you when there is something about to interfere with your walk.

The Heart of FATHER is the key to HIS Will for in HIS Heart is the Divine Intent of Love.  With Love as our foundation, we can walk in the full assurance of faith.  Every day you have a choice to go up or down.  Always take the higher road and you will have a convergence of your destiny to HIS Will.

Isaiah 41:10 ​​’Fear not, for I am with you;

​​Be not dismayed, for I am your God.

​​I will strengthen you, ​​Yes, I will help you,

​​I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.

​11 Behold, all those who were incensed against you

​​Shall be ashamed and disgraced;

​​They shall be as nothing,

​​And those who strive with you shall perish.

12 ​​You shall seek them and not find them—

​​Those who contended with you.

​​Those who war against you

​​Shall be as nothing, ​​As a nonexistent thing.

13 ​​For I, the LORD your God, will hold your right hand,

​​Saying to you, ‘Fear not, I will help you.’

Each of us needs to embrace our appointed time and destiny for now is the time to be fully aware that you and I are here according to HIS Plan.  Be sensitive to that reality as you walk out each day.  Expect HIM to intervene in your life as you become sensitive to HIS Spirit.  Expect the unexpected!  Focus not on the external but instead develop the internal for this is where FATHER resides.  Let your own “house” get cleaned up so HIS indwelling Presence is not hindered in any way.  Ask HIM to show you if there is any issue within you that needs resolved and removed.  It is HIS desire to fully operate through you in the times ahead.  You have an appointment with destiny.  Will you show up for that appointment?

I believe there is a benefit to those who read this blog daily and I fall into that category as well.  Let me explain.  Each blog I write is due to FATHER telling me the topic for that particular morning.  I don’t choose the topic, HE does.  I don’t choose the primary Scripture of the subject, HE does.  Thus I receive what is on HIS Mind for you AND me on a daily basis.  HE knows who will read these blogs and as a result we all are able to receive some level of daily instruction from HIM.  I write as I hear HIM and sometimes I marvel how it is put together.  Before I post the writing, I read it myself though I may not catch all of the needed editing and spelling corrections.

The moment I awakened this morning, HE spoke “2 Corinthians 5:7”.

7 For we walk by faith, not by sight.

In the times ahead it will be critically important for us to walk by faith and this should become an individual walk as each of us becomes mature in faith.  Let us not be children tossed to and fro by every wind of doctrine, running from one meeting to another hoping that some event will change our lives.  We each must mature internally rather than hoping for some external event to provide some magic pill of anointing.  We should strive to become productive citizens of Heaven.

The “faith” walk has been maligned in the past due to the impure motives among those who professed to be walking by faith.  It does not change the Truth that we must walk by faith in order to be pleasing to FATHER:

Hebrews 11:. 6 But without faith it is impossible to please Him,for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.

Soon we will be confronted with global events that will shake the foundation of many.  The worldly systems man has placed all of his trust in may disintegrate within 24 hours, possibly an hour.  Some may lose their retirement, some may lose their jobs, and others may see a dramatic drop in their wealth.  Let me be clear, FATHER has not told me when this would take place or to what degree we all will be affected.  If HE were to give me a date or specifics of the impact AND tell me to alert you, I would.

FATHER is the ONE who determined my resume of finance, economics, and information technology.  I had nothing to do with it other than submit to HIS direction throughout that last 44 years.  I would have spent 6 years flying for the Navy and then become an airline pilot until retirement.  HE removed me from the Navy and put me on the path mentioned above.  To what end?  Could it be to share with you for your and my preparation of the coming events?

I am fully convinced that in order to properly walk by faith, we must have a foundation of Agape Love!  Without it, we would end up with the same result of those who crashed and burned during the “faith” movement era.  Do you think FATHER considers the intent of the heart when responding to your faith?

Psalm 101:4 A perverse heart shall depart from me;

​​I will not know wickedness.

Matthew chapter 7 makes it clear as Jesus spoke to those who showed outward signs but with the wrong motive:

21 “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven.

22 Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’

23 And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’”

We must not grow weary in the process of becoming fully mature Sons and Daughters.  This is not a 100 yard dash but instead it is likened to a marathon… one step at a time.  The goal is to cross the finish line and not give up along the way.  This is why I look forward to each day expecting to hear FATHER with today’s instruction.  It matters not to me when HE awakens me for I know longer place a premium on sleep.  Each of us has the opportunity to submit to HIM by HIS SPIRIT on a moment by moment basis.

Walking by faith should become a part of your daily life, not just 3 times a year at Feast celebrations or Sunday mornings.  It is a daily walk with FATHER.  Faith is the bridge between hope and manifestation in the physical.  If we don’t expect something, we will not look for it to manifest in our lives.  When we exercise our faith, it must be with the right intent:

James 4:3 You ask and do not receive, because you ask amiss, that you may spend it on your pleasures.

IF we have a global economic event this fall, we should be focused on the other side that will present opportunities to those who walk by faith in Love.  The time to prepare is now, not later in response to the event.  The current system is being propped up by lies and those lies will not support the perception much longer.  There have been plenty of warnings issued from all realms.  You can either sit by and do nothing or your can prepare.  Your level of faith will be determined by your current commitment to FATHER and HIS Way.  I urge you to join me in pursuing a moment by moment walk with HIM and let your faith become great.  Jesus indicated that there are men of no faith, of little faith, and of great faith.  Which are you?

I have pondered for some time why FATHER did not allow our electro-dermal screening (EDS) project to come to full fruition.  As I mentioned in a previous blog, I concluded that FATHER would not allow us to bring forth alternative, lesser methods to HIS healing power.  After countless hours and thousands of dollars of investment to support Dr. Speckhart’s project, we discontinued pursuing this path.  Was it a waste of time, money, and energy?  Absolutely not, as is nothing FATHER has us do fall into such a category.  This project was specifically undertaken under Dr. Speckhart’s supervision and the epic delays were discussed in great detail.  He was satisfied and at peace that FATHER was withholding success in this area.  Sometimes FATHER wants to show us in great detail how we will not succeed.

We must know that FATHER’S designated path is always productive for the maturing of the saints and we should not challenge HIS methodology and wisdom.  HE is the Potter and we are the clay.

In 2 kings chapter 5, there was man named Naaman, commander of the army of the king of Syria, was a great and honorable man in the eyes of his master, because by him the LORD had given victory to Syria. He was also a mighty man of valor, but a leper.  All the best medical technology of the day could not heal Naaman and you can be assured that the king of Syria would have spared no expense to take care of this great and honorable man.

As FATHER’S plan would have it, a young girl from the land of Israel who was taken in a raid was given to serve Naaman’s wife.  She saw the situation with Naaman and told his wife about the prophet in Samaria who could heal her husband.  If you had such a life-threatening disease, you would spare no expense to pursue any solution, no matter how unusual.

The king of Syria was told of this and deployed the necessary resources to help Naaman pursue a solution to his disease:

5 Then the king of Syria said, “Go now, and I will send a letter to the king of Israel.”

So he departed and took with him ten talents of silver, six thousand shekels of gold, and ten changes of clothing.

6 Then he brought the letter to the king of Israel, which said, ​”Now be advised, when this letter comes to you, that I have sent Naaman my servant to you, that you may heal him of his leprosy.”

Interestingly enough, the king of Israel thought it was a trap.  Out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks:

7 And it happened, when the king of Israel read the letter, that he tore his clothes and said, “Am I God, to kill and make alive, that this man sends a man to me to heal him of his leprosy? Therefore please consider, and see how he seeks a quarrel with me.”

What a contrast between the two kings and their motivation- one wants his top man healed, and the other assumes that he is being deceived and is in fear.  FATHER’S plan to heal continues…

8 So it was, when Elisha the man of God heard that the king of Israel had torn his clothes, that he sent to the king, saying, “Why have you torn your clothes? Please let him come to me, and he shall know that there is a prophet in Israel.”

Elisha knew how to hear FATHER and he responded to FATHER’S plan.  Naaman wasn’t among the chosen of Israel but was honored by FATHER anyway.  We must understand that FATHER is interested in healing all of mankind, not just a few select Christians.  FATHER Loves the Syrians too!

9 Then Naaman went with his horses and chariot, and he stood at the door of Elisha’s house.

10 And Elisha sent a messenger to him, saying, “Go and wash in the Jordan seven times, and your flesh shall be restored to you, and you shall be clean.”

Elisha did not even touch Naaman nor come face to face with Naaman but instead sent a messenger with instructions.  We too must say and do according to FATHER’S specific instructions in each and every circumstance.  We are not to create a formula or method for healing.  When you do such a thing, people begin to rely on the formula or method (or EDS device) for their healing rather than giving glory to FATHER.  Get the point?

How did Naaman respond to this instruction?

11 But Naaman became furious, and went away and said, “Indeed, I said to myself, ‘He will surely come out to me, and stand and call on the name of the LORD his God, and wave his hand over the place, and heal the leprosy.’

Naaman was expecting to be healed by a preconceived process.  He assumed that Elisha would undertake a particular method for healing and was very disturbed when FATHER did not heal him the way he expected.  Naaman was placing his trust in the method, not FATHER.  Then Naaman was disturbed about the quality of the water:

12 Are not the Abanah and the Pharpar, the rivers of Damascus, better than all the waters of Israel? Could I not wash in them and be clean?” So he turned and went away in a rage.

Naaman is really upset about the method of Elisha who is simply the messenger.  Naaman has traveled all this way expecting to be healed by a wave of the hand of the prophet only to find that it was not going to happen.  He was furious and almost missed an opportunity to be healed because he couldn’t understand FATHER’S plan.  However one of his servants had the presence of mind to calm him down and give him some counsel:

13 And his servants came near and spoke to him, and said, “My father, if the prophet had told you to do something great, would you not have done it? How much more then, when he says to you, ‘Wash, and be clean’?”

Let’s keep our focus on the big picture.  Let us not forget that FATHER is the One Who heals, not some device or methodology.  As Dr. Speckhart told me multiple times, “Our body’s are designed to live forever.”  Who designed them?  Not some pharmaceutical company.  FATHER did and HE can and will heal what HE created.

14 So he went down and dipped seven times in the Jordan, according to the saying of the man of God; and his flesh was restored like the flesh of a little child, and he was clean.

Finally Naaman submitted to FATHER’S plan and was healed.  Naaman’s eyes were opened to the fact that we must not allow our past experience or others’ experiences determine our response to FATHER’S Word for us.  We must become willing vessels as we hear HIS instruction, no matter how outlandish it may seem.  After much resistance, Naaman’s obedience finally produced the result of full and complete healing.  FATHER wasn’t moved by Naaman’s frustration and rage.  FATHER understands our humanity and will take that in account as HE prepares us for our calling.  Elisha was not moved by the Syrian’s actions either.  After it was all said and done:

19 Then he said to him, “Go in peace.”

The source of all power resides within Our Heavenly Father, the Originator of all things.  Thus those who are in power are ultimately operating in some form of derivative power.  Exodus chapter 9 illustrates this reality:

13 Then the LORD said to Moses, “Rise early in the morning and stand before Pharaoh, and say to him, ‘Thus says the LORD God of the Hebrews: “Let My people go, that they may serve Me,

14 for at this time I will send all My plagues to your very heart, and on your servants and on your people, that you may know that there is none like Me in all the earth.

15 Now if I had stretched out My hand and struck you and your people with pestilence, then you would have been cut off from the earth.

16 But indeed for this purpose I have raised you up, that I may show My power in you, and that My name may be declared in all the earth.”

FATHER let it be known that all power is derived from HIM and HIS power is greater than anything derived by mankind.  Without the Divine Intent of Love, power is corrupted.  This is why power from FATHER is never corrupt yet when man has been given power, often it become fully corrupted because he has failed to operate with the proper intent.  FATHER continues to have me write on this topic because it is crucial for all of us to fully comprehend Divine Intent in order that we be prepared to walk in the fullness of our individual callings.

If your calling has been assigned by FATHER then HE will provide the power, authority, and resources to bring it to pass.  Each of us must focus on our particular place in the Body of Christ and purpose not to veer off and end up in the ditch.  FATHER has given us the right to be in the ditch if that is our intent.  HE has given us the free will to make our own decisions yet we must understand that there are consequences to those decisions.  Why in the world do you think HE would reveal the 613 commandments and statutes if there were no consequences?  Being just, HE has provided sufficient warning of the consequences of corruption.

What is the answer to the widespread corruption of mankind today?  Love.  The Love of FATHER has sufficient power to overcome the corrupted, derivative power of man.  The Wisdom from Above overcomes and confuses man’s worldly wisdom.  Man’s futile attempts to continuously exercise power and authority over creation always fails and dissipates as FATHER’S power comes on the scene.

Consider the verse in Matthew chapter 10 when Jesus deployed power from Above:

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.

Jesus only did what FATHER instructed Him to do and thus power was given to the disciples over all manner of sickness and disease as well as unclean spirits.  As we become fully aligned with FATHER in the fullness of HIS Divine Intent of Love, we should expect to be given this same power and authority.  It is critical for you to see this reality if you are to be chosen among the “called”.  The corruption of mankind has allowed sickness, disease, and unclean spirits to prevail among many.  Do you think there is any sickness or disease in Heaven?  Ignorance has allowed derivative power to bring forth corruption and weakness among mankind.  The results of this corruption are all around us.  Now we see that toxic pharmaceuticals are the default answer to sickness and disease, only further exacerbating the problem.

When Jesus had complete His earthly ministry, He revealed FATHER’S plan to the disciples in Acts chapter 1:

8 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.”

The result:

Acts 4:33 And with great power the apostles gave witness to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus. And great grace was upon them all.

Paul understood FATHER’S power and authority as he wrote in Ephesian chapter 3:

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

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

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

20 Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us,

Notice that you must be rooted and grounded in Love for the power to work in you.  In order to properly comprehend and utilize this power, Love must be your primary motivator.  To operate in the pureness of the power from Above, FATHER will required the proper foundation of Love to prevail in your life.  If your focus does not include the revelation of Love, you will be limited in the days ahead.  I expect that the times we are entering into will require the fullness of power from Above.  Don’t let corruption enter in.  Your foundation will determine your effectiveness and your fruit.
