Unrighteous Judgment

March 19th, 2014

John 8:7  So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her. (NKJV)

There is only One who can execute proper judgment and that One is Our Heavenly Father.  Who else would you trust to place your future with?  Too much penalty is just as ineffective as too little.  HIS mercy is balanced with HIS judgment.  As for me, taking the pain early and seeking forgiveness is the best avenue.  When you sin, quickly seek forgiveness rather than trying to defend an un-defendable position.

Matthew 7:5  “Hypocrite! First remove the plank from your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.  (NKJV)

Unless we have the bond of perfection, walking in fully mature Love, we are not equipped to judge, thus we are hypocrites.  Only then do we have that complete connection of Divine Intent and the Mind of Our Heavenly Father.  Until then, we should submit all acts of sin and lawlessness to HIS venue.  HE is able to balance the scales of justice on the perpetrator in an exacting manner.  We do have the right to forgive and prevent the full weight of the Law from coming down on the one who wrongs us.  However, when we take the attitude that we are to police every person who breaks the Law, our ego has entered into the picture.  Our “false self” tends to be bloodthirsty and wants revenge.  This attitude will exalt you over the other person and create further division.  We called to pray for our enemies, not beat the life out of them.

Unrighteous judgment is a subtle way of saying that you don’t believe that Our Heavenly Father will do an adequate job of judging the defender so you must do it yourself.  Self-reliance is just another attribute of the ego and shows that your Love walk needs some more attention.  The temporary satisfaction the ego seeks is not worth the long term effects of your unrighteous judgment.  A mature son or daughter does not respond to sin and lawlessness but waits to hear what Our Heavenly Father has mandated as a response.  Only then can you be assured that proper judgment has been dealt out to the recipient.  This walk releases you from holding grudges against those who have wronged you, sometimes for years.  Let Love prevail in your life and it will remove all of those weights you have been carrying around with you.  Your mental and physical health will improve once you have removed any root of bitterness that has been plaguing you for years.  Let no unrighteous judgment be found among us, drop the stones.  Let not their unrighteousness dictate your day.  Go about doing good.

The Petrodollar Dilemma

March 18th, 2014

The U.S. is threatening to place economic sanctions on Russia over the Crimea annexation.  This republic is about 58% Russian and was once part of the U.S.S.R.  The Russians have a vital seaport there and they are not going to give it up.  Putin and Obama have not been buddies in the past and their various encounters have proven to us that there is a personal issue as well as a public dislike between the two.

The U.S. has slowly placed itself in a position of weakness.  Our economy cannot withstand another economic crisis and the Russians and Chinese know this.  The egos in this arena don’t get any bigger but the Russians hold the “energy” card with Europe.  The Chinese hold the “Dollar Bond Lender” card in the global bond market.  The stakes are high and both countries have been accumulating gold to back a future payment system independent of the U.S. Dollar.  In the meantime, the U.S. has bee trying to move to an all digital currency so that they can exercise full control over everyone.  The natural result of a digitized currency is an RFID chip placed in every person’s body so as to eliminate any question of who they are.  If  you can’t see the writing on the wall, get some good glasses.  Each and every crisis is being used to move the population to submit to a greater level of control.  Every bill in Congress ends up with some hidden control measures under the disguise of names such as “patriot”, “liberty”, or “safety”.  The latest missing commercial airplane could be used for some terrorist event somewhere around the globe.  Who knows?

The manipulation by men in power is reaching epic proportions.  At a personal level, our only defense is to be Spiritually plugged into the Heavenly Father’s perfect plan, will, and purpose.  HE knows what is transpiring behind closed doors.  HE will move on men whom HE has placed in critical positions to act and respond in proper manner to thwart any attempt to subvert HIS plan.  At the highest levels, this is a spiritual battle for the future of mankind.  Our Heavenly Father has everything accounted for in HIS plan.  HE knows the devices and intent of the vessels of dishonor.  Technology does not supersede HIS methods of communication.  Men’s devices are archaic in the strictest sense to HIS processes.  We must trust that the current crisis as well as any other of men’s attempts to control the world will be righteously judged and corrected by Our Heavenly Father.  HE will correct the current crisis as part of HIS plan to bring restoration to all of mankind.  The selfishness of all parties involved will ultimately be exposed.  Ultimately, Love will take command.

Love Heals

March 17th, 2014

Matthew 8:16 When evening had come, they brought to Him many who were demon-possessed. And He cast out the spirits with a word, and healed all who were sick, 17 that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Isaiah the prophet, saying:

​​​“He Himself took our infirmities

​​And bore our sicknesses.”  (NKJV)

Jesus submitted fully to Our Heavenly Father’s will and intent.  He cast out spirits with a word, and healed all who were sick.  Emphasis on the word “All”.  Why are we sick and have chronic health issues?  It must be due to a lack of revelation in one or more areas in our lives.  This is not a condemning word but one looking at the reality of where each of us is at.  It is my expectation as we move toward the bond of perfection- the baptism of Love, we will see our bodies respond and become healthier.

Jesus is the pattern Son and we should have an expectation to walk in a similar fashion even though at this point no of us have done so, at least none that I have seen.  As we increase in wisdom, understanding, and knowledge, skill in operating should also come.

Daniel 1:17  As for these four children, God gave them knowledge and skill in all learning and wisdom: and Daniel had understanding in all visions and dreams.

The key phrase here is “GOD gave”.  Jesus did not acquire His operational gifts by simply going to healing school.  Our Heavenly Father imparted the anointing necessary to operate in such a manner.  Jesus was found worthy and Our Heavenly Father was well pleased.  As we move toward the same fullness of maturity, we should expect a similar impartation.  This is when people will see “Jesus” in us.  Our part is to mature and be an acceptable vessel of honor.  After all, the anointing needs a vessel to fill up and flow out of to minister life and healing to others.

Unity in Love

March 16th, 2014

2 Corinthians 13:11  Finally, brethren, farewell. Be perfect, be of good comfort, be of one mind, live in peace; and the God of love and peace shall be with you. (NKJV)

The world today needs Love.  Once Love becomes the foundation of a relationship, unity will come.  Love promotes cohesiveness between two people.  Neither is attempting to force his or her agenda on the other.  Instead, they walk in communion with each other.  They can enjoy the fellowship that is realized when there is no hidden agenda to guard against.  Each seeks to be a pleasure to the other.  Peace is a fruit of the relationship.

As you pursue this walk of unity, the GOD of Love and peace will be with you.  What better companion to have than Our Heavenly Father lovingly directing your path.  Each and every apparent delay is designed to insure your safety from some harmful event.  Each course correction is to guide you into greater unity.  Each test and trial are to promote strength and stamina in your Love walk.  No longer will those cares of the world, lusts, or deceitfulness of riches cause you to grow cold in your Love.  Instead, fruit will abound to your account.

The walls of division must come down.  It will only occur by the revelation of Love and walking out that revelation day by day.  Love will no longer be a distant memory or some past study, but the revelation will become an integral aspect of your life.  Love provides meaning to life.  Depression cannot exist in the midst of Love.  Purpose is a fruit of Love.  As you walk in Love, your specific and unique purpose will draw you into its fullness.  Then will your piece to the puzzle be placed into the magnificent picture of life.  What great satisfaction occurs when the puzzle is completed!

Kings of the East respond

March 15th, 2014

Both Russia and China are vocal about any retaliation toward Russia in the Ukrainian turmoil:

China warns of dangerous Russia sanctions ‘spiral’

See: http://www.reuters.com/article/2014/03/13/us-ukraine-crisis-china-idUSBREA2C0PB20140313

Russia issues warning after fatal clashes in Ukraine city of Donetsk

See: http://www.theguardian.com/world/2014/mar/14/russia-warning-fatal-clashes-ukraine-donetsk-protect-compatriots

Meanwhile, the Russians move a reportedly 80,000 troops to the area and the U.S. is threatening to impose sanctions.  See:  http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/europe/ukraine/10699537/Russia-and-the-West-fail-in-last-minute-Ukraine-talks.html

Germany’s Merkel warns Russia of "massive damage" if it persists

See: http://www.reuters.com/article/2014/03/13/ukraine-crisis-merkel-idUSL6N0MA15920140313

 

This is all about the greed and energy.  The U.S. and Europe want cheap energy so their economies can continue to dominate global finances.  China and Russia are tired of being the “whipping boy” to the western policies.  How much longer will they be bullied by the West?  It appears that Putin may be spearheading a move to break away from the western dominance.  The outright illegal and sustained manipulation of energy prices, interest rates, gold, and silver by the West are seen as lawlessness by the rest of the world and is cause for their response.  The petrodollar will be the target of the Kings of the East.

Cyprus was a direct conflict with Russian finances.  Syria is connected to Russian energy interests.  Now, the Ukraine where the Russian pipelines to Europe reside.

All indications suggest that Our Heavenly Father’s protecting covering over the U.S. has long since been removed.  9/11 was proof of that.  People are getting weary of the status quo and are beginning to respond.  When men get desperate, they do desperate things.  Don’t be caught unprepared.

Gold ended the week on a high note, finally.  Billionaire Eric Sprott is looking into filing a lawsuit against the investment banks who have been manipulating the price of gold.  On January 17th a German regulator came out and said it was possible the manipulation of the gold market could be worse than LIBOR (global base interest rate scandal).  The FDIC is suing those banks for manipulation of interest rates.  See: http://money.cnn.com/2014/03/14/news/companies/fdic-libor-suit/

As you can see, lawlessness is abounding around the globe.  Soon, a standard of Truth and righteousness will be raised by which all of this lawlessness will be judged.

Song of Solomon 2:4 

The Shulamite to the Daughters of Jerusalem
He brought me to the banqueting house,
And his banner over me was love.

A banner is a “standard”.  In the end, a Standard of Love will judge all of mankind.  Is there any other solution to pursue?  Everything else has been tried… and failed.  When men finally come to the end of “self”, they will turn to Our Heavenly Father.

Exodus 17:15  And Moses built an altar and called its name, The-LORD-Is-My-Banner (Jehovah Nissi)

The Moving Target of Gold’s Price

March 14th, 2014

A few years ago, one would not have written that the target price of gold would have a prediction of $10,000 per ounce.  $3,000 was stretching it.  Now, the $10,000 price is not unrealistic.  Why?  The continued printing of fiat currencies around the world are devaluing your bank balances.  Gold isn’t appreciating in value as much as the currencies to purchase an ounce are devaluing.  It is all relative.  You come out ahead when you have a fixed payment on a mortgage denominated in the fiat currency and your investments appreciate in value at the same time, allowing you to pay off the mortgage with devalued currency.  As central banks continue to expand their monetary base in an effort to promote spending and expansion, the price of gold will ultimately respond.  Those of us that have been around a while, remember when hamburgers were 5 for a dollar.  Now, one hamburger runs about 3 to 4 of those dollars.

Ultimately, the value of a fiat currency moves to zero.  When?  Only Our Heavenly Father knows.  Until then, storing value for the future will be the challenge.  You will want to get your wisdom from Above.  Men’s opinions are simply guesses.  What if they wrong?  Will you be able to live at their house if you lose yours due to relying on their guesses?  They will be nowhere to be found.  The U.S. Dollar used to be a safe haven.  Now, the thieves are knocking at the door.

If there is ever a time to focus on Spiritual maturity, now is the time.  I know of no other path that will lead to peace, success and safety.

Understanding the Matter

March 13th, 2014

Philippians 4:7   and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.  (NKJV)

If there is anything this world needs now is peace.  The war drums are once again beating, the world’s reserve currency is on its last leg, and lawlessness abounds.  Our Heavenly Father in HIS Wisdom has kept a remnant safe and it has continued in its maturing process.  The movie “Noah” is soon to be released.  Most often we focus on the eight righteous souls aboard the ark.  What about the entire population who drowned?  What were they thinking just prior to the flood?  All is well in their sin and debauchery, their perversions, their lawlessness.  Noah spent years being ridiculed by the locals.  A massive boat in the middle of a land mass?  It is no different now.

A recent missing commercial jet brought to light the expectation of technology.  How could the plane be lost with all our technology?  Man’s “tower of babylon” does not reach to the understanding found in Heaven.  Men’s eyes are blinded to the reality that is set before them.  Gold has been a store of value for thousands of years.  Why?  Because man cannot manipulate its primary characteristics thus the store of value is above man’s persuasions.  That is not true with the current monetary system.  100 years ago, the U.S. Dollar became the world’s reserve currency in order to promote trade.  It was backed by gold.  Little by little, central planners diluted the relationship between gold (along with silver) and currencies.  Now there is no currency backed by gold.  Value is being lost every day in our savings accounts.  The only way to retain true value is to put cash into a physical asset.  The Chinese and Russians understand the state of the reserve currency.  They also understand that the West is now in a weak economic state.  They will no longer be bullied.

The coming turmoil will challenge your peace and understanding.  If there is any time in your life you need to guard your heart and mind, it is now.  Press in, be anxious for nothing.  Let your requests be made known in your petitions to Our Heavenly Father.  What are you asking for?  It should be for wisdom and understanding first.  We need revelation from Above in order to navigate through the economic troubled waters ahead.  We should be developing relationships with like-minded believers who place Love above all else.  Why?  Love covers a multitude of issues and will serve the weaker.  By the way, you may be the weaker one in the relationship.  Wouldn’t you want the other person “watching your back”?  It is time to come into unity and quit being an “isolationist”.  It is time to rally around the Love of Our Heavenly Father and become a fruitful participant in HIS Kingdom.  It is great to be constantly studying and maturing.  But at some point, you should be producing something for others to “eat”.  Deposit life into others.  Make a difference to someone.  Give into their lives.  Are you broke?  No problem, plant kind words in others.  Look for some way to do a kind act for them.  Not everything requires money.  As you do these acts, people will begin to see Jesus in you.  And when they see Jesus, they are really seeing Our Heavenly Father.  Smile!  It is peaceful in Heaven.  That is where our citizenship resides.

Tentative Hosting Sites for the Upcoming Passover Conference

March 12th, 2014

Newark, New Jersey

Minneapolis, Minnesota

Oklahoma City, Oklahoma

Norfolk, Nebraska

Toronto, Ontario

Lake Worth, Florida (West Palm Beach Area)

Hopefully, more will be led to host a site.  It takes a PC with a reliable internet connection and a smile.  We will be hosting from our home and connecting our TV as a monitor to enlarge the picture.  It can be as simple as our setup.  Ken Reilly will be hosting from a hotel in the Newark area.  It is important to work with the provider of the internet connection at the hotel.  If you have successfully watched our Bible study broadcasts, your internet speed should be adequate.

Donations to fund the broadcast can be made at www.unity153.net by credit card.  You can contribute by check to:

Servias Ministries, Inc.

PO Box 1471

Bethany, OK  73008  (all contributions are tax deductible)

We will be able to assess the interest in this method of celebrating Passover by the number of viewers of each broadcast.  Every speaker will be recorded for those who are unable to watch the session live.  We encourage people to gather together and fellowship.  This allows us the opportunity to be in unity.

As a “hosting site”, you should prepare to serve communion at the beginning of the daily broadcast.  This is a request of Ken.  Servias will work with Ken and Thom Mills to develop this meeting in the time frame we have to work with.  Those who sign up as hosting sites at www.unity153.net will be contacted on the mechanics as needed.

To let us know of your interest in being a hosting site, details of the Passover Conference and instructions for signing up to host or attend, are included in the broadcast: http://www.ustream.tv/recorded/44586529

Celebrating the Passover Feast is one aspect of honoring Our Heavenly Father.  May the speakers be anointed to bring forth a timely message to the Body of Christ.

Resistant to Change

March 11th, 2014

The biggest obstacle to maturing as a Son of GOD is your resistance to change.  If that statement offends, then you have admitted to be resistant in a subtle fashion.  Your ego is your “false” reality.  It would convince you that there is no need to change.  Are you claiming to be perfected?  If so, look at your fruit.  Are you a servant to all?  If not, you are still in the process of maturing.  Pride would have you believe there is no need to change, that your inheritance is preordained and there is nothing for you to do except continue living as you have been for years.

Are you sick or do you have chronic ailments?  If so, you are living a “separated” life from Our Heavenly Father to some degree.  Can sickness or disease exist in HIS Presence?  If you have any weakness in your life, you are “void” of HIS Word in that area.  In 1984, I had been living in Divine health for some time… years.  Suddenly I contracted hepatitis from some shrimp I ate in the NY area.  I was upset at Our Heavenly Father.  Of course, I received a corrective interview from HIM.  HE said “You are void of My Word!”  What?  I studied the Scripture, read related books, listened to audio messages, watched Christian TV, etc.  HE said, “When was the last time you studied, dwelled, and meditated on healing Scriptures?”   It had been quite some time.  I was void of HIS Word in that area.  I repented and “studied, dwelled, and meditated” on healing Scriptures.  The eight week estimated recovery (assuming I did not die since it was the worst case the clinic had ever seen) was shortened to eleven days.  I learned my lesson, yellow skin and all.

My primary message to you is to embrace the revelation of Love.  It is my own primary focus as well, I probably need it more than you all!  If you continue to be resistant to Love and its fullness, you will probably continue to deal with chronic issues, health and otherwise.  Think about it.
