Fear or terror is often associated with confusion due to the unknown, especially when given a bad or adverse report.  When we become distressed, our peace is challenged and if we don’t deal with the adversity, our emotions will take control over our spirit.  Peace in our hearts will become a distant reality.  By spending time with FATHER our peace will once again increase and overtake the fear that has gripped our hearts.  We must not let the world determine our state of being.  We must overcome fear by trusting in FATHER’S Love for us:

Psalm 23:Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil;
For You are with me;
Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.

The carnal mind of spiritual darkness is the second challenge.  Those who approach Scripture on an intellectual basis have their understanding darkened.  FATHER is multifaceted in every area whereas the mind is binary in nature- up/down, in/out, white/black, etc.  When the mind is in control, it will create problems to fix instead of walking according to the SPIRIT.  Much time and resource are wasted by those who walk intellectually.

1 Corinthians 2:13 These things we also speak, not in words which man’s wisdom teaches but which the Holy Spirit teaches, comparing spiritual things with spiritual.

14 But the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; nor can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

15 But he who is spiritual judges all things, yet he himself is rightly judged by no one.

16 For “who has known the mind of the LORD that he may instruct Him?” But we have the mind of Christ.

Pride and vain imaginations represent the third challenge.  Self-importance is a hallmark of those who walk around in spiritual pride and they move the focus away from FATHER in order to be at the center of attention.  They would lead you to believe that without them, FATHER’S Plan will not be fulfilled.

2 Corinthians 10:4 For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds,

5 casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ,

You can be assured that those hung up in this third challenge will have their day of reckoning.  It may not be today or tomorrow but be assured it will come.  They will finally believe their own vain imaginations and take some course of action that will expose them for what and who they are.

Proverbs 16:18  Pride goes before destruction,
And a haughty spirit before a fall.

The forth challenge: The harlot spirit of using external gimmicks to falsely indicate an anointing.  Oh what a sensitive topic.  This area is where we must be vigilant not to be taken in by the appearance of godliness but without GODLY fruit.  A harlot will lure you away from the true relationship by the outward appearance only to leave you empty afterward.  There is often a formula to success and “if you will only walk out those steps you will be blessed” will be their declaration.  Jesus specifically warned us of those who would deceive us with a “false” anointing:

Matthew 24:23 “Then if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Christ!’ or ‘There!’ do not believe it.

24 For false christs and false prophets will rise and show great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect.

25 See, I have told you beforehand.

26 “Therefore if they say to you, ‘Look, He is in the desert!’ do not go out; or ‘Look, He is in the inner rooms!’ do not believe it

Challenge number five is the “defenseless” walk.  In the sight of these people, every solution is on the outside and there is nothing within them to guide them.  They rely on everyone else for their blessing or solution.  They do not see FATHER inside of them thus they cannot be led by the HOLY SPIRIT.  They are not overcomers but are overcome themselves and go from one crisis to another.  There is nothing internally to draw from.  As FATHER lives in us and thus HIS Life is within, we no longer view ourselves as defenseless but now know HE is with us and will never leave us.  As we receive HIS SPIRIT, HE has granted us life within us just as HE did Jesus:

John 5:26 For as the Father has life in Himself, so He has granted the Son to have life in Himself.

Conformance to the world’s way is the sixth challenge.  “This is the way we have always done it” is the excuse those people use to conform us using peer pressure.  FATHER moved the camp 41 times before the children entered into the Promised Land.  We must not allow revelation to become tradition, a recurring theme in the church world.  FATHER is refreshing by having us break the mold and often directing us to do unconventional things which make no sense to the world.  HE is outside the box of the world’s thinking and would like for us to join him.

Isaiah 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.

The final challenge is overcoming our own trials and tribulation… the ego, flesh, carnal man.  This is where the wheat is separated from the chaff, where we put off the old man which is the final challenge of the true overcomer.

Revelation 2:26 And he who overcomes, and keeps My works until the end, to him I will give power over the nations—

​27 ​‘​He shall rule them with a rod of iron;

​​They shall be dashed to pieces like the potter’s vessels.

The rod of iron is the anointing of power and authority to be given the Overcomers to rule and reign over the nations.  This true anointing will be sufficient to overcome all the turmoil and confusion of the current system.  The overcomers are not fearful but instead are enlightened and see the stark lawlessness of the current system.  These overcomers know that all power is from FATHER and they are HIS vessels of Honor and are fully dependent upon HIS SPIRIT.  They are not deceived by the trickery or external gimmicks proposed by those who would appear to have the solutions.  They have put on the full armor of GOD and will no longer conform to the world’s ways that lead toward death and destruction.  Finally, they have overcome their own carnal nature and put the old self to death.  Yes there are challenges to your maturity but FATHER has provided the means and the methods to overcome them all.  Those who address these challenges head on will be rewarded accordingly and will enter into the Promised Land.

The current system promotes scarcity yet FATHER continues to create galaxies at an exponential rate.  Man’s ways move toward scarcity whereas FATHER’S way moves toward abundance.  Why are so many barely getting by?  I would suggest that they are living without being fully connected with FATHER.  Why?  Do you think a loving father would withhold any good thing from his son or daughter?  Jesus clearly stated the Love of FATHER for HIS children:

Luke 11:9  “So I say to you, ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.

10  For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened.

11  If a son asks for bread from any father among you, will he give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will he give him a serpent instead of a fish?

12  Or if he asks for an egg, will he offer him a scorpion?

13  If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him!”

In the above passage, Jesus is speaking about asking for and receiving the Holy Spirit to become resident and operational in men’s lives.  Do you think this is the only application and manifestation of FATHER’S Love?  This is the critical first step in being led by THE SPIRIT for you must receive the Holy Spirit in order to be led.  But to what end?  Isn’t being led by the Holy Spirit for the purpose of establishing FATHER’S Kingdom on earth as it is in Heaven?

One of the simplest ways to get people’s attention is to be generous.  When you seek to give more than what is requested, it impacts the recipient in a notable fashion.  What message does it send?  “I want you to live beyond scarcity and I will be a part of overcoming lack in your life.”  What is your response when you buy a good or service and receive more than what you bargained for?  How do you feel about the other party?

Luke 6:37 “Judge not, and you shall not be judged. Condemn not, and you shall not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven.

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.”

Generous giving requires that the giver to judge not, condemn not, and forgive for this is what Love does.  It is so easy for the one who has resources to rationalize why the recipient should not be given too much.  “They are poor stewards so it won’t do any good.”  “They don’t need my help, they already have plenty.”  “They wronged me so why should I help them?”  The list goes on and on.  Consider your past acts toward FATHER?  You too were ungodly when Jesus made the ultimate sacrifice for you.

If you are not a generous giver, you are void of HIS Word in that area.  I learned this reality the hard way in 1984.  I had been living in Divine health for over 5 years at the time and FATHER told me to slow down.  My job was extremely demanding and I had much to do.  In April of that year I contracted Hepatitis A from shellfish and it turned out to be the worst case our doctor had encountered.  Upset, I went to FATHER about this unexpected illness and HE told me I was “void of HIS Word”.  I pleaded my case and reminded HIM of all the Christian books and tapes I consumed, intense study associated with those materials, etc.  His question to me- “When was the last time you studied My Word in the area of health and healing?”  Oops!  Since I had been healthy, the topic was not a priority. 

In looking back, that was selfish of me for others could have received ministry by HIS Word from my mouth.  I repented and was given specific instructions for removing the void in this area.  The result was that after 11 days, I was healed of Hepatitis when according to my doctor I should have been off work for a minimum of six weeks.  It was a tough lesson but I am grateful.

You can’t give what you don’t have.  In James chapter 4 we read:

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

Do you earnestly seek to be a conduit for FATHER’S Love to mankind or are your prayers mainly about getting your own needs met?  The flesh cannot understand that when you have others’ best interest at heart, your needs are met as well.  You may say that you have nothing to give?  We all have time we can give.  We all have words and acts of kindness to distribute.  Start with what you have and see if FATHER doesn’t expand your sphere of influence.  It starts with the seeds of generous giving.  HE will provide the increase for HE is not slack to perform HIS Word. 

Psalm 24:1 The earth is the LORD’s, and all its fullness,

​​The world and those who dwell therein.

2 ​​For He has founded it upon the seas,

​​And established it upon the waters.

King David very specifically acknowledged and established WHO is the Possessor of Heaven and earth… Our Heavenly Father.  Men may have been given derivative power but it is only been given to carry out FATHER’S Plan, Will, and purpose.  All three aspects have Love as the Divine Intent.

Yesterday I referenced the rich man who had been given resources to steward over.  Those who are wealthy and fail to acknowledge and reverence FATHER tend to believe that they are someone special and entitled.  Generally, they end up living in lack in some critical area in life, an area money can’t buy.  Others live in constant lack.  They are always looking for ways to extract resources from other in order to make ends meet when they should be looking to FATHER to supply all their need.  They have yet to receive the revelation that FATHER is willing to meet their need as they pursue a relationship with HIM, not just HIS resources.  They are too self-centered and need to get beyond themselves and look to FATHER with a pure, repentant heart for HE will meet them where they are at but they take control of their thoughts and cast down vain imaginations.

We should be anxious for nothing and Paul addressed this anxiety in Philippians chapter 4:

6  Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God;

7  and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

Once HIS Peace begins to permeate your soul and body, you will begin to view your life in a new and different light.  You will become empowered and optimistic about the future.  You will rest assured that HE is hearing your prayers and you are content in whatever state you are currently in.  Paul understood this reality:

8 Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy—meditate on these things.

9 The things which you learned and received and heard and saw in me, these do, and the God of peace will be with you.

The Apostle Paul dealt with many physical challenges as he ministered to the Gentiles: “In stripes above measure, in prisons more frequently, in deaths often.  From the Jews five times I received forty stripes minus one.  Three times I was beaten with rods; once I was stoned; three times I was shipwrecked; a night and a day I have been in the deep;  in journeys often, in perils of waters, in perils of robbers, in perils of my own countrymen, in perils of the Gentiles, in perils in the city, in perils in the wilderness, in perils in the sea, in perils among false brethren;  in weariness and toil, in sleeplessness often, in hunger and thirst, in fastings often, in cold and nakedness—”.  Most of us will never experience the extreme hardships Paul faced yet he stated:

11  Not that I speak in regard to need, for I have learned in whatever state I am, to be content:

12  I know how to be abased, and I know how to abound. Everywhere and in all things I have learned both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need.

13  I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.

It is the anointing of Christ that empowers us to be content and to have peace in whatever state we are in.  FATHER has unlimited resources and has sufficient resources for all who dwell on the face of the earth.  HE will use those who walk in HIS Wisdom and understanding to deploy those resources once they step into their calling.  This remnant will close out the Age of Pentecost and usher in the Age of Tabernacles according to HIS perfect plan.  They understand the need for resources to flow through them rather than for those resources to be hoarded or fully consumed stemming from a view of lack or scarcity.

The Philippians understood this flow as Paul stated:

18 Indeed I have all and abound. I am full, having received from Epaphroditus (means lovely) the things sent from you, a sweet-smelling aroma, an acceptable sacrifice, well pleasing to God.

19 And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.

Verse 19 has been used as a plea to receive by those in the “Faith” movement of the past and without regard to the context of giving mentioned in verse 18.  FATHER wants to meet all our needs but in proper fashion.  HE will not supply abundance to be consumed improperly.  That is why it is so important to understand HIS Character so that we can properly steward HIS resources.  Only then will those resources flow freely through us, not just to us.  Psalm 24 continues:

3 ​​Who may ascend into the hill of the LORD?

​​Or who may stand in His holy place?

4 ​​He who has clean hands and a pure heart,

​​Who has not lifted up his soul to an idol,

​​Nor sworn deceitfully.

5 ​​He shall receive blessing from the LORD,

​​And righteousness from the God of his salvation.

Let us ascend to FATHER’s Divine Intent of Love that we may become vessels of HIS Love and resources to flow through!

The following can and will be a blessing to you if you embrace its Truths.

One of the stickiest subjects to write on is financial.  Why?  Because of what Paul wrote in 1 Timothy 6:

10 For the love of money (greed) is a root of all kinds of evil, for which some have strayed from the faith in their greediness, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.

I have been around many wealthy people over the years as well as many who were poor.  Your current financial condition does not determine whether you are greedy, it simply impacts your intent and actions.  Wealthy people will attempt to hoard what they have, never considering they have enough to sustain them.  Jesus warned us “Beware, and be on your guard against every form of greed; for not even when one has an abundance does his life consist of his possessions" and then spoke of the self-serving wealthy in the Parable of the Rich Fool in Luke 12:

16 Then He spoke a parable to them, saying: “The ground of a certain rich man yielded plentifully.

17 And he thought within himself, saying, ‘What shall I do, since I have no room to store my crops?’

18 So he said, ‘I will do this: I will pull down my barns and build greater, and there I will store all my crops and my goods.

19 And I will say to my soul, “Soul, you have many goods laid up for many years; take your ease; eat, drink, and be merry.” ’

20 But God said to him, ‘Fool! This night your soul will be required of you; then whose will those things be which you have provided?’

21 “So is he who lays up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God.”

We are to be rich toward FATHER by laying up treasures in Heaven, not by building bigger barns.  What does by rich toward FATHER mean?  Psalms 112 provides us some insight:

1 Praise the LORD! ​​​Blessed is the man who fears the LORD, ​​Who delights greatly in His commandments (of Love)

2 ​​His descendants will be mighty on earth; ​​The generation of the upright will be blessed.

3 ​​Wealth and riches will be in his house, ​​And his righteousness endures forever

As we pursue to closer relationship with Our Heavenly Father, we open up the windows of Heaven to provide blessing.  Fear and greed cannot and will not stand in the Presence of FATHER.  FATHER will bless those according to their calling and will meet every need for HE is faithful and trustworthy to do so.  As we hear HIS Word specifically to us, we will respond and pursue the path HE directs us to.  This path will produce the finances not only to sustain us but will also provide an increase that we may become cheerful givers.  I know this from firsthand experience.

Once HE leads us away from lack, we must be vigilant in properly stewarding the abundance.  We must not become like the rich fool and continue to hoard, thinking only of “self”.  We have brethren in need and we must be sensitive to HIS Voice when he directs us to give.  FATHER will use those with a willing heart to carry out HIS Plan.  Paul provides a warning to those who have wealth:

1 Timothy 6:17 Command those who are rich in this present age not to be haughty, nor to trust in uncertain riches but in the living God, who gives us richly all things to enjoy.

18 Let them do good, that they be rich in good works, ready to give, willing to share,

19 storing up for themselves a good foundation for the time to come, that they may lay hold on eternal life.

Faith requires us to give before the fruit of this giving comes forth as the Law of seedtime and harvest applies.  You must plant seed before you can yield a crop.  However the seed must be planted with a motivation of Love rather than greed.  FATHER knows your heart and will respond accordingly.  When seed is planted in good ground, thirty, sixty, or a hundredfold is the result.  The Parable of the Sower applies in many areas with finances being just one of them.  Psalm 112 continues and provides us a contrast between the righteous man and the greedy:

9 ​​He has dispersed abroad, ​​He has given to the poor;

​​His righteousness endures forever; ​​His horn will be exalted with honor.

10 ​​The wicked will see it and be grieved; ​​He will gnash his teeth and melt away;

​​The desire of the wicked shall perish.

We must quit being so sensitive about money.  FATHER once told me: “Money is a commodity to ME, you should treat it the same way”.  As we seek to bless other, we take on HIS Divine Intent of Love and HE opens up HIS treasury to replenish the supply.  HE is not broke and has unlimited resources to draw from.  Selah!

I will soon be traveling to the UK to visit with Brian Williams (not the NBC news anchor) who was called to bring forth the message of Love over a period of several decades to different countries throughout the world.  His last public ministry occurred at Port Austin and abruptly and unexpectedly ended.  Those that heard him speak were truly blessed.  During the conference, he read “The Law” for one hour each day under an anointing so notable that those who were present can still recall.  I plan to video Brian as he shares what FATHER is showing him for he still has a passion to share “Christ in us, the hope of glory”.  I hope to post these videos on our ustream channel upon my return.  Brian’s life is a testimony to those who have spent much time with him.  He lives what he proclaims and is unwavering in his passion for FATHER.

Cheerful giving make these trips and broadcasts possible. If FATHER moves you to give, then do so.  If HE doesn’t, no worries.

Romans 8:14  For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God.

Who are you led by?  This is a question that each of us must answer in an absolute transparent fashion if we truly want to change.  When entering into a spiritual discussion, who do you quote?  Is your foundation of understanding based on a man’s writings, sermons, or broadcasts or are they based on what the Holy Spirit ministers to you as you spend time with FATHER?

It is time for us to awaken our souls and respond for He is summoning us to the Door.  You can read volumes about FATHER and increase your knowledge or you can respond to HIS call and know HIM on a personal basis, which path you take is up to you.

Paul wrote in 1 Corinthians chapter 8:

1 Now concerning things offered to idols: We know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge puffs up, but love edifies.

2 And if anyone thinks that he knows anything, he knows nothing yet as he ought to know.

3 But if anyone loves God, this one is known by Him.

If we continue to focus on knowledge, we feed our mind, will, and emotions and we further empower our mind.  At the same time we feed our emotions by satisfying the need to appear to be seeking the Spiritual.  We can point to the time we spend reading as though it increases our Spiritual sensitivity and provides us satisfaction toward meeting and achieving some goal.  In reality, we must spend time seeking FATHER and listening for HIS Voice.  Don’t get me wrong, HE will direct us to various reading materials etc. as HE determines the need, but it should be in response to HIS direction, not our soul’s desire.  On the other hand, if we focus on Love, we are known by HIM.  It is critical that you understand the difference between the pursuit of knowledge versus Love!

If you pursue the external, your fruit will be lacking in the Spiritual and your reward will be temporal.  Jesus made it very clear in Matthew 6:

5 “And when you pray, you shall not be like the hypocrites. For they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the corners of the streets, that they may be seen by men. Assuredly, I say to you, they have their reward.”

The hypocrite wants to impress others of his apparent spirituality by placing the focus on him and his ministry.  He redirects the attention of others by his outward actions and words.  It should be every mature believer’s purpose to direct others to maturity in Christ, not himself.  Each of us should be pursuing a personal, intimate relationship with FATHER, not becoming disciples of men who would convince us of their “anointing” by outward acts void of Spiritual fruit.  You are not called to judge men’s hearts but you are called to be “fruit” inspectors.

Paul spoke this warning in Acts chapter 20:

27  For I have not shunned to declare to you the whole counsel of God.

28  Therefore take heed to yourselves and to all the flock, among which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers, to shepherd the church (called out ones) of God which He purchased with His own blood.

29  For I know this, that after my departure savage wolves will come in among you, not sparing the flock.

30  Also from among yourselves men will rise up, speaking perverse things, to draw away the disciples after themselves.

As each of us mature, we must direct the focus of others to HIM, not us.  When Jesus knocks, our souls must be awaken to immediately respond to His call.  In Revelation chapter 3, Jesus emphatically stated:

20 “Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me.

21 To him who overcomes I will grant to sit with Me on My throne, as I also overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne.”

You must prepare yourself to respond to His Call.  Don’t be caught asleep when the knocking at the door comes forth.

Have you ever betrayed the confidence of another person by failing to keep an oath of secrecy?

Have you ever misused resources given for you to oversee?

Have you ever been deceptive?

Have you ever compromised you commitment to another?

I would suggest that we all are guilty of the above and have needed to repent many times.  The ramification of your action is not the issue here, it is the intent.  A “white” lie is still a lie.  The root of this type of behavior has the ego at its source and until we are led by The Spirit, we will have to be ever vigilant concerning the deceptions of the flesh.

Those in charge of the current system view their actions as necessary to keep the status quo even though their actions are outright lawless in nature.  Their actions are focused on improving the relative position among their peers and are willing to sacrifice others for their personal agendas.  What is the solution?  Love.

When you walk according to your ego, you feed the cravings of the soul or flesh depending on which presents a stronger demand at the time.  Your mind rationalizes why it is okay to be deceptive and betray Love in order that the lust of the flesh, lust of the eyes, and/or pride of life be fulfilled.  The sad reality is that lust and pride are never fulfilled but instead only require more and to a greater degree.

Hebrews 13:5  Let your conduct be without covetousness; be content with such things as you have. For He Himself has said, “I will never leave you nor forsake you.”

Greed is the root of all evil and as we overcome the world and realize that Our Heavenly Father’s Love includes HIS faithfulness to supply our needs, we will conduct ourselves in a Loving manner.  We will no longer manipulate the circumstances because of some previous lack in our lives.  HIS Love fills the void and removes the craving of the flesh.  As those cravings are removed by Love’s presence, you will find you no longer need to deceive others in any manner.

FATHER’S faithfulness is unwavering and Who better to commit to you than the Creator of the universe!  Each of us can cite examples of apparent lack in our past but we must allow FATHER to show us the necessity of those past experiences required for our maturing process.  As we pursue HIS Divine Intent of Love, we will begin to see the big picture unfold before our very eyes.

3 John 2   Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers.

The above Scripture was referenced heavily in the Faith movement in past decades for it contained the solution to many problems in the area of health and finances.  In the area of finances betrayal, fraud, treachery, and deceit are all alive and well in the current system.  It is becoming increasingly difficult to find righteous dealings among businessmen.  In growing up, your word was your bond.  Nowadays, you must create a lengthy contract in an attempt to cover all the potential ways the other party can deceive you.  If men dealt righteously, the legal profession would be much smaller than it is today. 

3 John 2 begins with the word “Beloved” thus it sets the condition for the rest of the passage.  It would be appropriate to expand this verse to say “For those of you who walk and follow the path of Divine Love, I pray, believe, and expect you to prosper and have sufficiency in all aspects of life and for your body to function according to its Divine Intent and design, and for your soul to be a blessing to you as it serves your spiritual walk of Love”.

As we pursue this path of Love, we will see doors open up to us and our bodies respond accordingly.  Betrayal, fraud, treachery, nor deceit will be found among us.  Our word will be our bond just as FATHER’S Word is HIS unwavering commitment to us.  As we truly rely on HIM for our being, we will be able to say with great confidence:

Hebrews 13:6  So we may boldly say:
“The LORD is my helper;
I will not fear.
What can man do to me?

2 Timothy 1:7   For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.

A sound mind is a call to moderation and self-control.  Associated with a sound mind is power and Love.  We have been give HIS Spirit of Love, power, and a mind of moderation and the control of “self”.  It is my belief that this particular quality of your walk is tied to the first Beatitude given to us by Jesus:

Matthew 5:3

“Blessed are the poor in spirit,
For theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

‘Poor in spirit” indicates living in moderation and self-control.  As we control “self” and not allow ourselves to pursue to cravings of the carnal man which always moves to the extreme, we set the stage to become focused on Heaven rather than the world.  When your mind leads you to the extreme, you only end up tired and unfulfilled.  This is especially true with the advent of the Internet.  This medium allows mankind to “surf the net” for endless hours in search of some key to life, happiness, and/or health.  It is true that there are benefits to such a massive database, but it is also true that excessive focus will lead to emptiness.  Just consider if you spent the same time focused on a relationship with FATHER.  Would you not have a greater and better result by hearing HIS Voice in response to a problem that is plaguing you?

There are a multitude of opinions now accessible to all who have an Internet connection.  These opinions cover virtually every topic you can imagine.  The human brain is designed to believe what the eyes see, the ears hear, and the mind reads.  We must protect ourselves from man’s opinions that would lead us astray from the Truth.  Television’s 24 hour news channels provide a similar source of opinions that can impact you and produce fear and cause responses which you lead you away from the Truth.

So how do we sift through all of the various opinions and influence of man?  We must seek the One where all Truth originates.  Our Heavenly Father knows the end from the beginning and HE will lead us safely through all of the events that are on the horizon.  We must not move away from a sound mind due to some sensationalized, convincing view of what is about to take place on the earth.  The current system is so complex, no man can fully grasp the effects of any action by men in control, only FATHER knows for sure.

As we continue our pursuit of the fullness of Love guiding our walk, we will walk in moderation in all areas of our life.  We will not go extremes and exhaust our resources because of some soulish desire.  When you walk in extremes, you become focused on scarcity and lack.  Love has a sufficiency beyond what man can hoard or use up.  As we continue in Love, our sound mind will uncover Truth among all the opinions and we will not be moved by those opinions which serve only to produce fear among the masses.

Major changes are ahead for men are moving to greater desperation.  What worked in the past will not work in the future since the two are not identical environments.  It is imperative that we seek FATHER’S direction in order to quiet our soul and let peace prevail in our lives.  We must place our trust in HIM and not the opinions of people.  This goes for the physical as well as the spiritual.  We must not think that another man has a greater ability to hear FATHER more than us at an individual level.  Yes, we may receive a confirmation through a brother but we should receive the initial Word from FATHER.  Otherwise, we may jut be getting another opinion.  Be assured, everyone has one.  We must control “self” and stay away from the excesses associated with the carnal mind.  We must focus on Love and as we do, we will receive power from Above to deal with whatever life sends our way.  What a simple solution to our problems.
