The Subtleness of Pride

June 11th, 2015

Proverbs 8:13 ​​The fear of the LORD is to hate evil;

​​Pride and arrogance and the evil way

​​And the perverse mouth I hate.

The mind perpetuates illusion.  An illusion is a thing that is or is likely to be wrongly perceived or interpreted by the senses.  Our current economic system is based on perceptions created by men and women who are self-promoting and are constantly in pursuit of peace within themselves.  Illusion cannot bring peace because there is nothing to sustain equilibrium in a person’s life.  Pride promotes arrogance when left to its own devices and turmoil ensues.

Simplicity and moderation promote peace.  As you simplify your life, you have more time and resources to do what FATHER has called you to do.  As you add structure to your life, you become a slave to it and in turn it becomes a harsh taskmaster.  What is the purpose of acquiring more structure?  Often it is due to a quest to fulfill something missing in your life.  “If I just had this or that, I would be happy.”  You acquire the thing hoping to make you happy only to find later that it becomes of less importance as time goes on.  Your priorities get redirected to other pursuits and you look back and wonder “What was the point?”

Pride is preoccupation with “self”.

Proverbs 16:18 ​​Pride goes before destruction,

​​And a haughty spirit before a fall.

19 ​​Better to be of a humble spirit with the lowly,

​​Than to divide the spoil with the proud.

Pride tends to cover up the weaknesses that are present in our life.  It will compensate for past failures and present a watered down version of the Truth as necessary.  Pride continually exalts itself to present a higher, more esteemed illusion of who we are.  Only after FATHER has a corrective interview with us do we gain perspective of the emptiness of “self” and the façade our pride created to compensate for a deep-seated fear of rejection by others.

As we ascend to a higher understanding of Love, pride begins to be rooted out of the recesses of our soul.  Our focus changes from “self” to others.  We become content in whatever state we are currently in.  Our priorities change and we embrace the richness of life that is all around us.  We can now look out our window and see life for what it is rather than looking for some sign to exalt our stature among others.  Pride is constantly seeking signs to perpetuate the illusion of self importance.  This is why it is so important to embrace FATHER’s Will and purpose for our lives.  As we serve HIM we are able to live in complete peace knowing that we are fulfilling the call on our life.  When that peace arrives, we are in equilibrium within and without.  We are at rest.

Each of us must critically review our walk and expose the subtleness of pride lurking in the crevices.  Let each of us declare “not my will but Your Will FATHER!”  Let each of us serve others and confront any act of pride by removing it from our midst.  Suppressing pride will not be enough for it must be removed in order to be freed of it.  Pride produces arrogance and arrogance directs one toward the evil way and perverse mouth.  FATHER hates it and so must we.

Love in Action

June 10th, 2015

Acts 9:32 Now it came to pass, as Peter went through all parts of the country, that he also came down to the saints who dwelt in Lydda.

33 There he found a certain man named Aeneas, who had been bedridden eight years and was paralyzed.

34 And Peter said to him, “Aeneas, Jesus the Christ heals you. Arise and make your bed.” Then he arose immediately.

35 So all who dwelt at Lydda and Sharon saw him and turned to the Lord.

The disciples went out into the world and preached the Gospel.  Signs and wonders followed them.  Where is that happening today in the U.S.?  Frankly, I don’t see it and if it is happening on a major scale, no one is talking.  Yes there are isolated healings here and there but there appears to be no major move in the U.S.  If anything, there is a continual increase in sin and lawlessness.  The Truth has been perverted and now sin is accepted by the masses.  How much longer will FATHER withhold HIS judgment on the U.S.?

Those of us who believe that Love is the true answer to the problems around the world continue to prepare to be lights unto all the world.  It seems that FATHER is taking away alternatives to HIS direct healing power.  Our own EDS project speaks of this in that our manufacturing expert kept failing to deliver a rather simple project.  The door could not be opened.  The central planners continue attacking the alternative medicine and supplement industry in an effort to shut it down at the bequest of the large pharmaceutical companies.  Greed has taken control of healthcare for now.

What is the answer?  Love in action.  The disciples had two sets of adversaries when Jesus walked the earth-  Rome and the Jewish leaders.  Both thirsted after power yet the disciples continued their mandate to spread the Gospel throughout the known world.  It is no different today.  Mystery Babylon and the quest for power continue to challenge the Gospel.  We must expect FATHER to endue us with power from On High and confirm HIS Love by ministering life and healing to those whom HE sends us.  We are entering a new Age of Tabernacles and those with a pure heart will be the ones HE uses to spread HIS Gospel.

What should we be doing in the meantime?  We should be Love in action by planting seeds of Love to those whom we come in contact.  We must become consistent in our Love walk rather than just having “events”.  As our Love is expressed, it will grow in outward strength.  We will produced fruit of THE SPIRIT.  Peter denied Christ yet Jesus’ Love for Peter was greater than his sin of denial and thus Peter was empowered by the Holy Spirit to spread the Gospel.  We too must not look back at our past failures but instead press on to the high calling.

When Aeneas was healed, people turned to THE LORD.  People need to see the manifestation of The Gospel to believe.  They need to see examples of the power of FATHER in a known situation in order to believe.  They have no faith and only seeing is believing.  We need to plant seeds of faith as well.  If there is no seed, there is no crop to harvest.  Men are void of HIS Word in their lives thus they cannot walk in faith.  They need to hear the Gospel but what will draw them to hear it?  It is Love in its purest form.

36 At Joppa there was a certain disciple named Tabitha, which is translated Dorcas. This woman was full of good works and charitable deeds which she did.

37 But it happened in those days that she became sick and died. When they had washed her, they laid her in an upper room.

People are dying of sickness and disease all of the time in our midst.  Is it FATHER’S Will for people to die from sickness and disease?  Isn’t it FATHER’S Will for those whose time it is to pass on, to simply fall asleep and check out?

38 And since Lydda was near Joppa, and the disciples had heard that Peter was there, they sent two men to him, imploring him not to delay in coming to them.

39 Then Peter arose and went with them. When he had come, they brought him to the upper room. And all the widows stood by him weeping, showing the tunics and garments which Dorcas had made while she was with them.

40 But Peter put them all out, and knelt down and prayed. And turning to the body he said, “Tabitha, arise.” And she opened her eyes, and when she saw Peter she sat up.

41 Then he gave her his hand and lifted her up; and when he had called the saints and widows, he presented her alive.

We must no longer accept “good” or “better” but we must expect the “best”.  It is HIS Perfect Will for us to do greater things than HIS first begotten Son.  We must forge ahead and focus on walking according to HIS Spirit and lay down every weight that hinders our progress.  We must expect and anticipate a greater anointing than what we have walked in previously.  For some that may have been no perceived anointing.  Do not let that dissuade you from expecting something greater.  We are given excellent examples of Peter and Paul to show how FATHER will turn men around and use them for HIS Glory.  What was the result of Tabitha being raised from the dead?

42 And it became known throughout all Joppa, and many believed on the Lord.

This is Love in action.

The Economics of Love

June 9th, 2015

In its most fundamental form, exchange promotes life.  When we breathe, we receive oxygen and expel carbon dioxide, a gas critical for plant life.  On the other hand, plants expel oxygen to maintain life and growth.  This exchange works rather well and there is an abundance of both gases to facilitate life for all three kingdoms: plant, animal, and mankind.  (Science only categorizes life into two fundamental kingdoms which I disagree with)

In FATHER’S Kingdom, Love is the motivation for exchange and it is counterintuitive to man’s logic.  Love gives and FATHER blesses with greater abundance.  This is the foundation of the Heavenly Economic Model.  Mankind’s economic model tends to operate on addition and subtraction whereas FATHER’S Model operates on multiplication and division.

Jesus represents the Divine Intent of Love and conveys the abundance of the Kingdom in the following story found in Luke chapter 5:

1 So it was, as the multitude pressed about Him to hear the word of God, that He stood by the Lake of Gennesaret,

2 and saw two boats standing by the lake; but the fishermen had gone from them and were washing their nets.

3 Then He got into one of the boats, which was Simon’s, and asked him to put out a little from the land. And He sat down and taught the multitudes from the boat.

Jesus had not yet called Peter to the ministry and Peter, a fisherman, was busy cleaning his nets.  Jesus needed to utilize Peter and his boat so that he could teach the multitudes and all could hear.  Peter accommodated Jesus and rowed out from the shore and listened to the Gospel while managing the boat.  In response to Peter’s willingness to provide Jesus with the resource He needed, Jesus was now ready to bless Peter:

4 When He had stopped speaking, He said to Simon, “Launch out into the deep and let down your nets for a catch.”

Love spoke a blessing over Peter but he challenged the blessing by allowing his mind and intellect to take control of the situation:

5 But Simon answered and said to Him, “Master, we have toiled all night and caught nothing; nevertheless at Your word I will let down the net.”

Peter’s orientation was based on mankind’s economic model of scarcity and challenged Love’s Intent to bless him.  He compromised the Word and let down a net rather than multiple nets as Jesus requested.  What was the result?

6 And when they had done this, they caught a great number of fish, and their net was breaking.

7 So they signaled to their partners in the other boat to come and help them. And they came and filled both the boats, so that they began to sink.

FATHER’S economic model of abundance superseded man’s law of scarcity and overtook the fishermen’s capacity to receive.  Yes, I understand that the fish represented Spiritual Truths of becoming fishers of men and other facets.  Yet we must not overlook the fact that Jesus was expressing a Kingdom reality in the area of economics and finance.  The mind wants to negate that aspect because it seems to be out of reach for us to expect a multiplication of resources.  How did Peter respond?

8 When Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus’ knees, saying, “Depart from me, for I am a sinful man, O Lord!”

9 For he and all who were with him were astonished at the catch of fish which they had taken;

When Love arrives on the scene, blessing occurs.  Mankind toils in a system of scarcity and then Jesus shows up to change the paradigm.  He defied man’s knowledge, understanding, and skill.  The Wisdom from Above understands how to take command over the infinite resources available to those who walk in the maturity of Love.  Love is able to fund the spreading of the Gospel and meet men’s needs.  There is no need to coerce funds from people.  As you pursue Love, FATHER will open up the windows of Heaven and make the necessary resources available.

Men tend to steer away from this aspect of the Gospel in fear of failure.  If I don’t expect the resources to come, then I won’t be disappointed when they don’t show up.  That is the ego’s way of keeping you from your calling.  You will never harvest a crop if you don’t plant seed.  Every farmer know this simple truth yet the moment we speak of giving, alarms sound from the ego.  Love gives, lust takes.  If you give out of Love, the recipient’s intent won’t prevent you from your blessing.  FATHER looks at the intent of the heart and is not limited by the recipient’s response or agenda.  The recipient will be dealt with according to his motivation thus you don’t have to attempt to judge the outcome.  FATHER is well equipped to handle the reconciliation aspect of giving and receiving.

Jesus understood that men need to be sustained by the necessities of physical life.  He had no problem in blessing the four disciples’ families with an exceptional catch of fish.  What do you think happened to all those fish that filled their boats?  They surely took them to market and received sufficient income.  Do you think those fish were of the highest quality?  No doubt!

We must start looking at challenges as opportunities, not through the eyes afraid of failure.  As we are led by HIS SPIRIT, FATHER will tell us which side of the boat to cast our nets.  HE will tell us to take action even though the world’s logic would say that it will be fruitless.  We must trust FATHER as we move toward challenging times ahead.  If HE says to prepare, then prepare.  If HE says to give, then give.  When you take action according to HIS Word, your boat will be full.  Some men get hard of hearing when it comes to funding the Gospel.  Peter nearly missed it when Jesus told him to set aside his own logic and simply do what Jesus said to do.

If you walk according to the world’s economic model, you will continue to toil and suffer lack.  We must seek to understand the Economics of Love if we are to be blessed and prospered.   People who become desperate will look for someone who isn’t and want to know why.  Our focus must be on Love and as good stewards we will be in command of the resources we need to minister life to all those we come in contact with.  This is just one aspect of the “greater things” Jesus spoke about.  It is time that we no longer compromise in this area of Love.  When we have Love as our intent, then we will appropriately expect all promises to come to pass such as:

Luke 6:38  “Give, and it will be given to you: good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over will be put into your bosom. For with the same measure that you use, it will be measured back to you.”

Grounds for Rejection

June 8th, 2015

The seventh and final church in the Revelation of The Lord Jesus Christ became lukewarm.  In one sense, this church is tied to the first church, the one who lost its first Love.  Those of you who watch Brian Williams’ videos may have noted his multiple comments about Helen, his first love.  Brian mentioned her frequently on this trip and recounted the fact that he lost his first love.  It was clear to me that this elder of Pentecost was conveying the message of the first church in the Fifth Gospel.

His focus on this trip centered around non-judgmental Love and that it is the pathway to Spiritual cognition in full waking consciousness.  Conscious of what?  True innocent perception of how FATHER works within His Divine Intent.  We must set aside our past experiences and awaken the passion for walking in FATHER’S Love.  We must not become lukewarm in our walk but press on toward full waking consciousness.  Brian was showing us the Promised Land just as Moses could view it from a distance.

Revelation 3:

14 “And to the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write,

‘These things says the Amen, the Faithful and True Witness, the Beginning of the creation of God:

15 “I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot. I could wish you were cold or hot.

16 So then, because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will vomit you out of My mouth.

The purpose of vomiting is to quickly and violently remove something that was in the body.  The seventh church which represents the final phase of the maturing process had an issue.  They lost their fervor, their lack of patience caused them to wane from the Path.  They became complacent.  Many were called to become the Body of Christ but few will make the cut.  Some who appeared to be fully qualified are then vomited out at the end because they became lukewarm.  Let us press on toward the high calling.

All of creation expresses FATHER’S Plan, Will , and Purpose yet mankind continues down its path of death and destruction, often centered around greed and entitlement.  The ego would have us believe in scarcity yet you only have to look through a telescope to begin to comprehend the vastness of the universe.  80% of the earth is covered with water yet California continues its severe drought.  Where is the disconnect?  Surely there is a way to economically access pure water from saltwater.  It is in FATHER’S knowledge and understanding but HE will not release that and other revelations so that man can package it up and greedily exploit it.

When the finish line is in sight, we must not slow down or stop.  Let us keep ascending toward the full maturity IN HIM.  I believe we are in a time of transition of Ages and those who press in will be called upon to minister to the rest of mankind.  Let us not orient ourselves to laws and formulas causing us to be estranged from Christ as Paul wrote in Galatians Chapter 5:

1 Stand fast therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made us free, and do not be entangled again with a yoke of bondage.

2 Indeed I, Paul, say to you that if you become circumcised, Christ will profit you nothing.

3 And I testify again to every man who becomes circumcised that he is a debtor to keep the whole law.

4 You have become estranged from Christ, you who attempt to be justified by law; you have fallen from grace.

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.

The Age of Pentecost lacked the revelation of Love to go with its revelation of faith.  We must embrace those words Paul wrote without exception.  If you Love enough, you can let go of those earthly possessions you could not live without.  If you Love enough, you truly have no enemies.  If you Love enough, you will be chosen to be empowered to be a blessing to all mankind and there will be no grounds for rejection.

Love and Wholeness

June 7th, 2015

Love attracts.  If there is anything that we should learn in the Gospels is that Jesus expressed the Love of FATHER and people were attracted to that Love.  People were drawn to Jesus as He expressed Love toward them by Him opening their eyes and ears to FATHER’S Divine Intent of Love.

In Luke chapter 17, the story of the ten lepers has been mentioned as a great faith message but let’s take it a bit farther:

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

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

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

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

Now all of us would be thrilled with the results of being healed of such a terrible disease of which they had no known cure.  If leprosy was curable, there would not have been ten lepers in the first place.  They would have gone to their local pharmacy and picked up the latest concoction with two approved refills and would be living among their relatives.  In the case of the ten lepers, the power of the Word of Jesus Who spoke only what FATHER had Him speak was sufficient to bring forth faith among the ten lepers for healing to occur.

The lepers were actually seeking the Love of Our Heavenly Father in they were asking for mercy.  They were looking for compassion and forgiveness for the apparent judgment they were under.  They were pleading for FATHER’S Love to intervene which is an indication that they did not believe they were entitled to be healed.  I am sure each of them considered his circumstance to be a result of past lawless acts.  Some may have even pointed to a specific event as the cause of such a harsh judgment on their future.

When they saw Jesus, they yelled for His attention and used the term “Master”.  This term denotes authority over the circumstance and I would say to you that Love has authority over all circumstances.  GOD is Love and HE framed the universe and all within it.  Faith carried out the mission but Love was the Divine Intent behind faith.  This is what we must fully understand if we are to operate in the same manner as Jesus in the coming age.

Jesus did not have to touch the ten lepers for their healing to occur.  Neither did He have to touch each and every fish or loaf of bread for them to be multiplied for the feeding of the 5,000.  His Love was sufficient from any distance to manifest its intent through the expression of faith.  People read these parables and focus on faith but I say you must focus on Love which is higher than faith.  As you do, faith will result.

Jesus expressed non-judgmental Love toward the ten lepers.  He did not go into the details of their past and place conditions upon them.  His mercy was sufficient for their healing.  The story culminates with gratitude:

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

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

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

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

19 And He said to him, “Arise, go your way. Your faith has made you whole and fully restored.”

Most people are satisfied with “good” and “better” when it comes to healing.  This leper received the “best” for he was fully restored to normal.  What the leprosy had eaten away, Love called forth those same GOD particles and returned them back to their original ordained state.  These smallest particles have been recently identified by mankind… finally.  They can switch from a particle to a wave and then back to a particle.  Light is a wave.  Jesus understood these particles and was able to command them by Love to return back to their original state of this one leper.  This particular leper responded in Love and gratitude for what The Master had done.  The others accepted a lower level of healing and were totally satisfied… and that was okay.  Yet there is a remnant who seeks to express Love to Our Lord and will operate at a higher level of full restoration.  These are those who will and are being chosen for the Body of Christ.

Love brings forth wholeness no matter what the prior condition.  Focus on Love, faith will follow.

Sowing and Reaping

June 6th, 2015

Galatians 5:22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law. NKJV

FATHER created cycles in the physical realm- seasons, moon phases, day/night, etc.  Seedtime and harvest is a critical cycle for producing fruit.  There are times to sow and there are times to reap.  Being led by THE SPIRIT has the act of sowing within it.  As we are led to minister to others, FATHER positions us to receive a harvest of like kind.  As we Love, we receive more Love.  As we promote peace, we receive more peace.  As we are faithful in a little, we become faithful over greater things.  In all things we should be good stewards.

There are some who have “eaten” their seed for various reasons rather than sow it for a greater harvest.  They might have been misled by wolves in sheep’s clothing or they simply listened to those who are partially blinded themselves.  Their circumstances may have been extremely difficult to overcome and there was no one to come to their aid at the time when lack could have been averted.

There are others who have understood seedtime and harvest thus are prospering in the financial realm.  They are operating in a notable surplus.  They have been faithful over a little and have been given much.  They fully understand the need to protect the seed for next year’s harvest.  Most farmers understand this principle.

If we do have economic calamity culminating in the last four months of this year, we should begin now sowing into other people’s lives.  If you have the means, find someone who is in genuine need and begin helping them to prepare their cupboard.  Make it a point to buy extra food for them and store it yourself if necessary.  Some who are desperate need assistance in restraint as well.  The temptation by those who are in lack may be such that they would go ahead and consume the food early.  This is where you must discern how to handle a particular situation.

What happens if there is no adverse economic event this fall or winter?  Donate your excess food to the local food bank with joy and thanksgiving.  At any rate, sow Love toward someone in an active manner and FATHER will reward your intent.  Love is the firstfruit by design.  The other fruit must be wrapped in Love for the greatest harvest. 

FATHER has positioned you for this very hour.  You are drawn to this writing so that you can decide your path.  Be like the ants and store now for the winter months.

Proverbs 30:25  The ants are a people not strong,

Yet they prepare their food in the summer;

Who are you led by?

June 5th, 2015

Each of us must ask the question “Who am I led by?”  Am I led by men or the Holy Spirit?  Do I put my trust in men or do I rely on FATHER to take me through the challenges of life?  When is a man or woman being led by the Holy Spirit to speak to others at HIS bequest?  With so many voices speaking on so many topics, this can be a real challenge.  Is there some underlying self-serving motivation?  I continue to encourage you to develop your own relationship with FATHER so that you can be at peace when you hear others who profess to know FATHER and are being used by HIM to bring forth HIS Word.  With all of that in mind, I believe it is necessary to share something that happened as I was just about to depart from London as the “mission of Love” was being completed.

I secured a room by London Heathrow Airport the night before my departure back to the U.S.  As a business traveler, I try to minimize the variables when catching a morning flight in a foreign country.  I did not want to miss that flight home!  I set three alarms to wake me at 5:15 AM and was in bed by 10 PM.  I immediately fell asleep.  At exactly 3:00 AM I was awaken out of a deep sleep.  Yep, FATHER woke me up two hours early.  What for?

As I laid in bed, HE instructed me to read my emails… huh?  I had checked them before retiring for the evening and their were only a couple.  One was from my friend Paul.  In the email, he suggested that I listen to an interview with some young lady from South Chicago.  Being wide awake (as is the case when FATHER wakes me), I listened intently to what this young lady was saying.  In the two part interview she mentions FATHER waking her at 3 AM.  She mentions the years 1987 and 2005 specifically, both are important years to me as well.  In 1987, I was on a Southwest flight to South Chicago when FATHER led my specifically to Matthew 5:8 and spoke specifically to me “Those with a pure heart shall see GOD”.  In 2005 HE told me to focus on Love and I have done so ever since.

Many of the financial experts I read are all focusing on the September/October time frame of this year for a major negative market event.  I have written about much of what they are forecasting in past blogs to the point where there has been no sense in repeating the warnings.  FATHER directed me to encourage people on developing a closer and deeper relationship with HIM so that no matter what happened, they would be able to deal with the turmoil ahead.  If you are internally prepared then the external will not move you.  I share these links with you not to frighten you but to allow you time to prepare if this young lady has heard correctly.  Don’t be concerned about her understanding of eschatology.  Jesus told her that she would go through this time of judgment… interesting.  I happened to watch another video where she mentions many of the parables I have written about lately.  The only thing I can tell you is that I don’t ignore anything given to me a three o’clock in the morning.  If you don’t bear witness to what she is saying, discard it.  If you do bear witness, prepare.  If she is wrong, we will know soon enough.

Part 2:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J9bu_Uuuk7s

I do find it coincidental that her name is Mena.  MENE is the past participle of Mena and is found in Daniel chapter 5:

24 Then the fingers of the hand were sent from Him, and this writing was written.

25 “And this is the inscription that was written:

MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN.

26 This is the interpretation of each word. MENE: God has numbered your kingdom, and finished it;

27 TEKEL: You have been weighed in the balances, and found wanting;

28 PERES: Your kingdom has been divided, and given to the Medes and Persians.

Could it be that www.unity153.net website may become more active if what she is sharing comes to pass?

What is spiritual incest?

June 4th, 2015

I would strongly urge those interested in better understanding Brian’s videos to consider that he was sharing “in the Spirit” and when he mentions a topic multiple times, it typically means you should pay a little closer attention.  Kemper and I discussed the relevance of incest mentioned by Brian concerning his wife’s adopted sister.  Consider Lot and his daughters.  Incest means that you “love” those in the family and reject outsiders.  Isn’t that similar to what denominations have done to those who are outside their influence?

Lot chose material blessing and ended up in Sodom (Gen 13:10).  Abraham interceded for Sodom (Gen 18).  Would you intercede for a city known for its great sin?  Food for thought.  Maybe it is time to revisit Lot’s circumstances as it relates to nonjudgmental Love.

Brian’s first Love was Helen as he mentioned in his broadcasts but he did not marry her.  He ended up marrying her best friend.  While there, we drove past Helen’s house but she is in mourning over her husband who recently passed away.

If you only consider what he said solely from the “physical”, you may miss the purpose of the trip and broadcast.  I have no regrets in making the trip and further I am grateful to those who contributed.

Men shall revile you

June 3rd, 2015

To revile is to criticize in an abusive or hostile way, or to spread negative information about a person.

In Matthew chapter 5, Jesus spoke:

11 “Blessed are you when they revile and persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely for My sake.

12 Rejoice and be exceedingly glad, for great is your reward in heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you.”

Any time that the current path is challenged by revelation from Above, there will be resistance, both inwardly and outwardly.  Your ego will try to dissuade you from taking the road less traveled for on that road the ego loses its control over you.  Other people will revile you in an attempt to justify their own path.  As for me, I only want to take FATHER’S path known as THE WAY.  The leaders persecuted Jesus and we should expect the same.

When we left the church in 1996 we suffered persecution from those who remained.  Their love for us was conditional on us following the path they were on.  As long as we submitted to the pastor we were loved, but the moment we departed from his direction we were shunned.  Where was the Agape Love upon our departure?  This scenario happens again and again where there is no Love.

Why do men revile and persecute others?  It is because their ego is leading them down the path they are on for if they were on HIS path motivated by Love, they would pray blessings over those who are no longer enjoined with them knowing that FATHER had them on a parallel path ultimately arriving at the same destination.  When men revile you they are unsure of their own path and need others to reinforce their decision to take the path they are on.  Their ego demands it.  They have a vested interest in their doctrine and want to defend the doctrine against any challenge to it.

Why are we blessed when we are persecuted for HIS Sake?  We must go beyond the “easy” and not be moved when the “difficult” arrives on the scene.  When we stand for what FATHER is showing us and directing us to do, we will be challenged and tested by men and women who are convinced that their way is the only way.  Who do we submit to, FATHER or man?  Do we submit to the status quo, tradition, convincing doctrines, declarations, prophecies, visions, encounters, or FATHER’S Word specifically for us?

Men would place FATHER in a box that they construct in their own understanding.  Anyone who challenges the limits of that box will be persecuted in some manner.  Your own ego will attempt to make you feel guilty for pursuing a path outside the accepted box.  As you pursue FATHER with a pure heart, be at peace with where HE takes you.  Job realized that men and their views are no match for FATHER’S Plan, Will, and purpose.  We must trust FATHER when HE moves us in a different direction other than the path we have followed in the past.  We may have been on the right path and the other people were diverted to an alternate path as they focused on worldly rewards.  At any rate, trust FATHER at all intersections.  HE will guide you in the path to take.

“For My sake” means for Love’s sake.  Jesus was and is the manifestation of Love.  I have no problem when men challenge FATHER’S direction for I know FATHER will guide me accordingly and HE is more interested in my obedience to HIS direction versus submitting to man’s influence.  Time and time again, HIS direction has proven to be fruitful in my life, we have a history together that comforts me when men revile and persecute me.

There appears to be challenging times ahead and men will become angry with the current system as it fails them.  Their anger will be directed against anyone who disagrees with their doctrine which brought them to the place of destruction.  Their illusions of wealth and power will fall away and the Truth will stare them in the face.  Some will transcend the suffering and pursue the pathway to Spiritual cognition is full waking consciousness.  Great is their reward in Heaven!

The True Worshippers

June 2nd, 2015

In John chapter 4, Jesus spoke:

23  “But the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for the Father is seeking such to worship Him.

24  God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.”

To worship means to bow down in reverence and adoration toward Our Heavenly Father.  True worship arises out of Love for FATHER in an intimate relationship.  We do not bow down as a religious practice but out of our revelation of who HE is.  It is with the greatest of respect and gratitude do we acknowledge the CREATOR of Heaven and earth.  FATHER is so much greater in every aspect to any person, place, or thing that to revere anyone or anything else is foolishness.

Men continue to seek alternatives to the various facets of Truth.  FATHER is the source of all Love, wisdom, understanding, knowledge, supply, healing, wholeness, and peace.  Yet men seek out other means and devices to supply their need in those various areas.  Drugs are taken by addicts in hope for a few hours of peace whereas FATHER will give you peace in the midst of turmoil.  The masses are void of HIS Word in the area of healing so they seek various devices and means for healing.  I am always reminded of the two statements Dr. Speckhart based his success on: “The body is designed to heal itself.” and “The body is designed to live forever.”  Who better to heal you than the ONE Who designed and formed your body!

Who is the source of all Truth?  Our Heavenly Father!  Why do you seek after men who have at best only a portion of Truth?  Don’t you realize that a Loving FATHER awaits your sincere desire to seek HIM out?  We need to quit pursuing external formulas and devices to promote fulfillment.  Jesus told the woman that true worship was not fulfilled by an external act of going to the mountain or to Jerusalem.  True worship is done in the heart, an internal act.

Your connection with FATHER is in your heart, not your mind.  Jesus spoke of this in Matthew chapter 5:

8  Blessed are the pure in heart, For they shall see God.

Notice that Jesus did not focus on the mind, knowledge, external acts, or rituals.  The issue is internal, not external.  The more you focus on the external, the further you move from true Worship.  Don’t you think FATHER will take care of the external once HE has fully matured HIS Sons to carry out HIS Will and plan with great precision, power, and authority.  Only when the Sons are fully prepared internally will they effect the external.  Your heart is the issue!

Your heart is where Love resides, not in the mind.  The mind is binary in nature thus it will always operate in a “conditional” mode… if/then.  If the heart is not strengthened and you allow your mind to dictate your walk, you will never be in full and complete peace.  Your mind will create problems to solve and the solutions will always be temporary.  It will focus on the external problems and direct you away from the true and everlasting solution.  Your heart is the source of higher intelligence for that is where you are connected with FATHER.  When I received the Baptism of the Holy Spirit, my mind went “tilt” and did not understand the event.  On the other hand, my heart was full of joy.  Do you want to improve your quality of life?  Focus on the internal, not the external.  The external is a result of what is done internally.  Pursue harmony with FATHER’S Will and the external will respond.  Pursue only the external and lack, turmoil, and chaos are likely to come on the scene.

When our heart is perfectly reconciled with FATHER, full Spiritual flow will occur.  It will not only flow to us but it will also flow through us to others.  Jesus consistently walked in this flow.  He did not need technology to heal the sick but simply operated in a connected fashion with FATHER Who imparted power and authority to bring forth healing and restoration to mankind.  Jesus prayed to FATHER and was in constant communication with HIM.  Jesus was a conduit for the power of FATHER to flow through Him to the rest of mankind.  Jesus understood and perceived the flow of power as the woman with the issue of blood touched His garment.  As we mature in the worshipping FATHER in Spirit and Truth, we should expect to be used in like manner.  This will be observable fruit of True Worshippers.
