Prophecy: The Times Of Shaking

March 12th, 2024

Jeremiah 17:7-8 NKJV

“Blessed is the man who trusts in the LORD, And whose hope is the LORD. [8] For he shall be like a tree planted by the waters, Which spreads out its roots by the river, And will not fear when heat comes; But its leaf will be green, And will not be anxious in the year of drought, Nor will cease from yielding fruit.

Psalm 1:1-3 NKJV

Blessed is the man Who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, Nor stands in the path of sinners, Nor sits in the seat of the scornful; [2] But his delight is in the law of the LORD, And in His law he meditates day and night. [3] He shall be like a tree Planted by the rivers of water, That brings forth its fruit in its season, Whose leaf also shall not wither; And whatever he does shall prosper.

Defining Covenant

March 11th, 2024

What is a covenant?

A covenant is an agreement or promise, usually formal, between two or more people or groups to do or not do something specified.

The word “covenant, ” infrequently heard in conversation, is quite commonly used in legal, social (marriage), and religious and theological contexts.

The Idea of Covenant. The term “covenant” is of Latin origin (con venire), meaning a coming together. It presupposes two or more parties who come together to make a contract, agreeing on promises, stipulations, privileges, and responsibilities.

The word “covenant” was first used in Genesis.

It is written by THE SPIRIT in Genesis chapter  6:

11  The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence. 12 So God looked upon the earth, and indeed it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted their way on the earth.

13 And God said to Noah, “The end of all flesh has come before Me, for the earth is filled with violence through them; and behold, I will destroy them with the earth. 14 Make yourself an ark of gopherwood; make rooms in the ark, and cover it inside and outside with pitch.

17 And behold, I Myself am bringing floodwaters on the earth, to destroy from under heaven all flesh in which is the breath of life; everything that is on the earth shall die.

18 But I will establish My covenant with you; and you shall go into the ark-you, your sons, your wife, and your sons’ wives with you.

FATHER made a solemn promise to Noah… thankfully.  Corruption on earth was rampant and required intervention from Our Heavenly Father. However, HE had a remnant of eight souls who would carry out HIS plan for mankind in righteousness.

Jesus refers to Noah when He spoke in Matthew chapter 24:

36  “But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of Heaven, but My Father only.

37 But as the days of Noah were, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be.

38 For as in the days before the flood, they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark,

39 and did not know until the flood came and took them all away, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be.

It appears that we may be at an inflection point in history.  No one knows but FATHER!  However, we must remain vigilant in our focus toward full maturity as Sons and Daughters of GOD.

Paul further describes these times when we wrote by The Holy Spirit in Romans chapter 1:

18  For the wrath of God is revealed from Heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the Truth in unrighteousness,

19 because what may be known of God is manifest in them, for God has shown it to them.

20 For since the creation of the world His invisible Attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His Eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse,

21 because, although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened.

22 Professing to be wise, they became fools,

23 and changed the glory of the Incorruptible God into an image made like corruptible man-and birds and four-footed animals and creeping things.

24 Therefore God also gave them up to uncleanness, in the lusts of their hearts, to dishonor their bodies among themselves,

25 who exchanged the Truth of God for the lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.

How many of the following descriptions can be seen today?

26  For this reason God gave them over to their own disgraceful and vile passions. Enflamed with lust for one another, men and women ignored the natural order and exchanged normal sexual relations for homosexuality. Women engaged in lesbian conduct, and men committed shameful acts with men, receiving in themselves the due penalty for their deviation.

28 And because they thought it was worthless to embrace the true knowledge of God, God gave them over to a worthless mind-set, to break all rules of proper conduct.

29 Their sinful lives became full of every kind of evil, wicked schemes, greed, and cruelty. Their hearts overflowed with jealous cravings, and with conflict and strife, which drove them into hateful arguments and murder. They are deceitful liars full of hostility. They are gossips

30 who love to spread malicious slander. With inflated egos they hurl hateful insults at God, yet they are nothing more than arrogant boasters. They are rebels against their parents and totally immoral.

3] They are senseless, faithless, ruthless, heartless, and completely merciless.

32 Although they are fully aware of God’s laws and proper order, and knowing that those who do all of these things deserve to die, yet they still go headlong into darkness, encouraging others to do the same and applauding them when they do!

Paul sums it up:

Romans 2:

1  Therefore you are inexcusable, O man, whoever you are who judge, for in whatever you judge another you condemn yourself; for you who judge practice the same things.

2 But we know that the judgment of God is according to Truth against those who practice such things.

Know this, FATHER enforces HIS Covenant and judgment will come upon those who have chosen the perverse path.   FATHER keeps HIS Word and Covenant with HIS Sons and Daughters.

To those in sin… REPENT!

The Covenant Of A Loan

March 10th, 2024

In a previous posting, I explained the process a bank goes through to make a loan. The most fundamental aspect within the loan is the covenant.

Within a loan agreement, there is a list of covenants. The most important covenant is that the borrower pay back the loan and interest in full. In essence, the borrower has satisfied the most fundamental requirement of the loan agreement. The lender will want to loan money to such a borrower again and again. This is how banks make money.

The following provides us with a perspective when such loan transactions are no longer reliable. Who better than a billionaire developer to state his position on such transactions (you can fast forward to the 7 minute mark if you wish):

Why would anyone in their right mind continue doing business where there is substantial risk to his or her future business?

A comment by a former banker:

I was a lender for 25 years. Never did we sue a loan applicant for misstating the value of an asset. If the value was important in the loan decision it fell upon the lender to confirm it through appraisal. Kevin is right. If we went after people for this half the country would be in jail.

A Covenant Will Be Enforced By Truth

Beware Of Ungodly Men

March 8th, 2024

Ungodly men will try to prevent you from fully operating in your anointing and calling!

It is written by THE SPIRIT in Psalm chapter 43:

1  God, clear my name. Plead my case against the unjust charges of these ungodly workers of wickedness. Deliver me from these lying degenerates.

2 For You are where my strength comes from and My Protector, so why would You leave me now? Must I be covered with gloom while the enemy comes after me, gloating with glee?

3 Pour into me the brightness of Your daybreak! Pour into me Your rays of revelation-Truth! Let them comfort and gently lead me onto the shining path, showing the way into Your burning Presence, into Your many sanctuaries of Holiness.

4 Then I will come closer to Your very altar until I come before You, the God of my ecstatic joy! I will praise you with the harp that plays in my heart to You, My God, My Magnificent God!

5 Then I will say to my soul, “Don’t be discouraged; don’t be disturbed, for I fully expect my Savior-God to break through for me. Then I’ll have plenty of reasons to praise Him all over again.” Yes, He is my saving grace!

There is now a major political figure being attack in several venues by deceitful and unjust men and women.  They have revealed themselves as ungodly workers of wickedness and they think the public is either stupid or naive… or both. 

A court of injustice has just prosecuted a case where the defendant is ordered to pay over a quarter of a billion dollars in fines.  In addition, the family’s ability to work in their home state has been seriously hampered by the verdict.

I began my business career in banking.  FATHER directed me to my first job after receiving the baptism of The Holy Spirit.  HE spoke to me and directed me to the tallest building in the downtown area.  I had no idea what was in the building.  HE told me that my job was there.  It was a bank.  HIS anointing was on me, and I quickly advanced to a position which allowed me to study every department of the bank.  This included the Commercial Loan Department as well as the Credit Administration Department.

When the borrower submits a loan application, several steps are taken to determine whether the bank is interested in making the loan.  The loan officer determines the terms of the loan, not the borrower.

The Credit Administration Department reviews the loan and determines the creditworthiness of the applicant.  This includes analyzing the collateral in great detail.  Collateral valuations are critical in determining the loan amount because the lender wants to minimize risks associated with repayment.  Additionally, the Credit analyst looks at the borrower’s ability to repay the loan by creating a cashflow analysis.  Last but not least, the loan officer assesses the “character” of the borrower by looking at his past history of performance.

While at the bank, I took the Dunn & Bradstreet credit course that every loan officer was required to take.  As well, I did an in-depth study of both departments.  The essence of lending was determined by cash, credit, and character.  If you did not meet those criteria, you did not get the loan.

I provided this detail because the lawfare being conducted against a major figure has unjustly used the law to decimate the future of this man and his family.  Anyone who has been in banking knows that this is a frivolous, deceitful, and unjust use of the legal system.  The loans in question were paid in full so nobody lost money in the transactions.

This miscarriage of justice is revealing the state of this country.  It is quickly moving to an ungodly nation unless the True church rises up and halts this aggression.  The answer is spiritual in nature, and we must not live a life of passivity while our nation moves away from its Godly roots.

Our actions or lack thereof will impact the future!

Walking In “Son-Consciousness”

March 7th, 2024

Be Son-conscious through Communion!

It is written by THE SPIRIT in 1st Corinthians chapter 11:

26  Whenever you eat this bread and drink this cup, you are retelling the story, proclaiming our Lord’s death until He comes.

27 For this reason, whoever eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in the wrong spirit will be guilty of dishonoring the Body and Blood of the Lord.

28 So let each individual first evaluate his own attitude and only then eat the bread and drink the cup.

29 For continually eating and drinking with a wrong spirit will bring judgment upon yourself by not recognizing the body.

30 This insensitivity is why many of you are weak, chronically ill, and some even dying.

In other Words:  So whoever does not value the meaning of the bread and the wine, keeps himself in condemnation.  To see oneself associated in Christ’s death and declared innocent in His Blood is the only worthy manner in which to examine one’s own life in the context of the New Covenant meal.

I cannot overemphasize the importance of taking Communion frequently.  To be restored to Divine health, I am convinced that FATHER wants us to properly take communion which reflects the New Covenant.  If we take Communion in the wrong manner, we effectively accept judgments.

How did the Israelites walk in Divine health for forty years?  They feasted on Jesus Who is the Bread of Life.  How were Joshua and Caleb able to possess the Promised Land when they were between 59 and 79 years old?  How was Joshua able to rule for an estimated 52 years which made him 111 years old when he died?  They had been feasting in Divine health for 40 years in the wilderness.

Food and exercise are not the keys to a healthy life although they do have some benefits.  The key to a healthy life is to be led by The Holy Spirit in everything you do and consume, especially having the proper mindset at Communion.

As a side note, the majority on the people Jesus healed were on the “Mediterranean” diet!

We can’t put our trust in natural means to stay healthy.  Our trust must be in GOD to keep us healthy and properly taking Communion is central to that.  This keeps us focused on the Supernatural realm.

To reemphasize from an earlier writing, Luke recorded by The Holy Spirit in Acts chapter 2:

46  Daily they met together in the temple courts and in one another’s homes to celebrate communion. They shared meals together with joyful hearts and tender humility.

What was the result?

47 They were continually filled with praises to God, enjoying the favor of all the people. And the Lord kept adding to their number daily those who were coming to life.

To properly discern The Body, we are to remain Son-conscious, not sin-conscious.

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Romans chapter 3:

20  For no one can ever be made right with God by doing what the law commands. The law simply shows us how sinful we are.

21 But now God has shown us a way to be made right with Him without keeping the requirements of the law, as was promised in the writings of Moses and the prophets long ago.

22 We are made right with God by placing our faith in Jesus Christ. And this is true for everyone who believes, no matter who we are.

23 For everyone has sinned; we all fall short of God’s glorious standard.

24 Yet God, in His grace, freely makes us right in His sight. He did this through Christ Jesus when He freed us from the penalty for our sins.

25 For God presented Jesus as the sacrifice for sin. People are made right with God when they believe that Jesus sacrificed His life, shedding His blood. This sacrifice shows that God was being fair when He held back and did not punish those who sinned in times past,

Are we putting faith in the cross of Jesus?  That is the intent in the examination of yourself?  Alternatively, are you putting faith in doctors, pharmaceuticals, diets, and/or exercise?

When man sinned, Divine judgment was placed upon mankind; weakness, sin, and death were some of the effects of it.  If we do not properly recognize His Body and His Blood, it is as though the judgment is still on us because we are not partaking of the benefits of the Sacred Communion.

Let us take hold of what Jesus paid for us and walk daily in Son-consciousness!

The Christian Super Bowl Ad They SHOULD Have Made | He Saves Us

March 6th, 2024

A Christian family funded a $14 million ad during the Super Bowl… it misrepresented Jesus to roughly 123 million people. He only washed the feet of his disciples, not those in sin. Love does not endorse sin and unrighteousness!

This should be the True message:

Confronting Sin

March 5th, 2024

Are you reluctant to confront sin and lawlessness?  Jesus isn’t!

It is written by THE SPIRIT in 1st Samuel chapter 10:

6  Then the Spirit of the LORD will come upon you, and you will prophesy with them and be turned into another man.

7 And let it be, when these signs come to you, that you do as the occasion demands; for God is with you.

Do not be surprised if you are moved upon by The Holy Spirit and speak forth His Word into a situation where you are taking part.  It may be confrontational for you may be dealing directly with a demonic spirit.  I have had this happen to me and my friend commented that I went from Clark Kent to Superman in the confrontation.  It is all about being led by THE SPIRIT!

Jesus spoke in Matthew chapter 10:

34  “Do not think that I came to bring peace on earth. I did not come to bring peace but a sword.

35 For I have come to ‘set a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law’;

36 and ‘a man’s enemies will be those of his own household.’

37 He who loves father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me. And he who loves son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me.

38 And he who does not take his cross and follow after Me is not worthy of Me.

39 He who finds his life will lose it, and he who loses his life for My sake will find it.

In other Words:

“Perhaps you think I’ve come to spread peace and calm over the earth—but my coming will bring conflict and division, not peace.”

“Those who cling to their lives will give up True Life. But those who let go of their lives for My sake and surrender it all to Me will discover True Life!

The general public wants a diluted, non-threatening Gospel.  The Words of Jesus specifically challenges this view.  When you dilute the Gospel, nobody gets helped.

You cannot truly separate the prevailing view of “church and state”.  The Founding Fathers of the U.S. Constitution intended that the political could not supersede the Spiritual in guiding the country.  It was intended to ensure the government did not overreach the church in seeking more power and constraining their First Amendment rights of free speech.  There is indisputable evidence from the early writers of the Constitution of the intent to limit government overreach.

The issue now is the redefining of words to benefit the nefarious intent of certain government officials.

Gender, sexuality, marriage, life, debt, and freedom are all moral issues addressed in Scripture.  Why are many pastors staying from these moral issues?  They have succumbed to the redefining of words by the extreme left political powers.  In essence, they are isolating themselves in passivity and accepting enslavement out of fear.

Covid 19 is a perfect example.  The government wanted to shut down the churches across the country but allow the bars and liquor stores to remain open.  How hypocritical!  There is now indisputable evidence that the “jab” was and is a bioweapon designed to reduce population worldwide.  Patents, statistics, autopsies, and unusual cardiac issues have been revealed by experts who don’t receive government funding and have courageously challenged the government narrative.  As a result, they were (and are) targeted to have their findings suppressed by those in power.

Are megachurch pastors trying to sell people on their movement?  Do they stay away from moral issues so no one will be offended?  FATHER IS Love AND HE is The GOD of justice and judgment.  What is HE going to base HIS judgments on?

HIS Word!  Will Jesus be concerned about offending anyone when they go before Him at His Judgment Seat?  Any position apart from The Word of GOD is indefensible.  Be cautious of what lies ahead.  Spiritual discern is crucial in navigating through all the lies.

Time Of Communion

March 4th, 2024

How often should we take communion?

Jesus spoke in John 6:

26  Jesus answered them and said, “Most assuredly, I say to you, you seek Me, not because you saw the signs, but because you ate of the loaves and were filled.

27 Do not labor for the food which perishes, but for the food which endures to everlasting Life, which the Son of Man will give you, because God the Father has set His Seal on Him.”

28 Then they said to Him, “What shall we do, that we may work the works of God?”

29 Jesus answered and said to them, “This is the work of God, that you believe in Him Whom He sent.”

30 Therefore they said to Him, “What sign will You perform then, that we may see it and believe You? What work will You do?

31 Our fathers ate the manna in the desert; as it is written, ‘He gave them bread from Heaven to eat.'”

32 Then Jesus said to them, “Most assuredly, I say to you, Moses did not give you the bread from Heaven, but My Father gives you the True Bread from Heaven.

33 For the Bread of God is He Who comes down from Heaven and gives Life to the world.”

34 Then they said to Him, “Lord, give us this bread always.”

35 And Jesus said to them, “I am the Bread of Life. He who comes to Me shall never hunger, and he who believes in Me shall never thirst.

FATHER gave the children of Israel Bread from Heaven daily and there was no sickness or disease among them.  Why?  They received their Daily Bread (Jesus’ Body).  Isn’t our Covenant superior to theirs?

Luke recorded by The Holy Spirit in Luke chapter 11:

1  Now it came to pass, as He was praying in a certain place, when He ceased, that one of His disciples said to Him, “Lord, teach us to pray, as John also taught his disciples.”

2 So He said to them, “When you pray, say:

Our Father in Heaven, Hallowed be Your Name.

Your Kingdom come.

Your Will be done On earth as it is in Heaven.

3 Give us day by day our daily Bread.

4 And forgive us our sins,

For we also forgive everyone who is indebted to us.

And do not lead us into temptation,

But deliver us from the evil one.”

Did Jesus give us an important key to walking in Divine health on a daily basis within the Model Prayer?  What Bread are we to take?

Luke recorded by The Holy Spirit in Acts chapter 2:

42  Every believer was faithfully devoted to following the teachings of the apostles. Their hearts were mutually linked to one another, sharing communion and coming together regularly for prayer.

43 A deep sense of Holy awe swept over everyone, and the apostles performed many miraculous signs and wonders.

44 All the believers were in fellowship as one body, and they shared with one another whatever they had.

45 Out of generosity they even sold their assets to distribute the proceeds to those who were in need among them.

46 Daily they met together in the temple courts and in one another’s homes to celebrate communion. They shared meals together with joyful hearts and tender humility.

47 They were continually filled with praises to God, enjoying the favor of all the people. And the Lord kept adding to their number daily those who were coming to life.

Why did the church grow so quickly in the beginning?  Healings and other signs were occurring at the hands of those who took communion daily.

Luke continues in Acts chapter 3:

1  Now Peter and John went up together to the temple at the hour of prayer, the ninth hour.

2 And a certain man lame from his mother’s womb was carried, whom they laid daily at the gate of the temple which is called Beautiful, to ask alms from those who entered the temple;

3 who, seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple, asked for alms.

4 And fixing his eyes on him, with John, Peter said, “Look at us.”

5 So he gave them his attention, expecting to receive something from them.

6 Then Peter said, “Silver and gold I do not have, but what I do have I give you: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk.”

7 And he took him by the right hand and lifted him up, and immediately his feet and ankle bones received strength.

8 So he, leaping up, stood and walked and entered the temple with them-walking, leaping, and praising God.

9 And all the people saw him walking and praising God.

10 Then they knew that it was he who sat begging alms at the Beautiful Gate of the temple; and they were filled with wonder and amazement at what had happened to him.

Taking communion daily was (and is) the appropriate reminder of remembering The Body of Christ and Its healing power as well as His Blood of redemption.

With this in mind, Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Romans chapter 12:

1  I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, Holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service.

2 And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect Will of God.

The early church took daily communion, renewing their minds.  Jesus said to take communion in remembrance of Him.  Shouldn’t we consider taking communion daily as well?

Identify The Leaven

March 3rd, 2024

We must identify the “leaven” impacting The Body of Christ!

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in 1st Timothy chapter 4:

1  The Holy Spirit has explicitly revealed: At the end of this age, many will depart from the True faith one after another, devoting themselves to spirits of deception and following demon-inspired revelations and theories.

2 Hypocritical liars will deceive many, and their consciences won’t bother them at all!

3 They will require celibacy and dietary restrictions that GOD doesn’t expect, for HE created all foods to be received with the celebration of faith by those who fully know the Truth.

4 We know that all creation is beautiful to GOD and there is nothing to be refused if it is received with gratitude.

5 All that we eat is made Sacred by the Word of God and prayer.

My wife and I pray over our meal no matter where we are at… in public and private.  Publicly, it is a profession of our faith, and we are not embarrassed to pray in any venue.

6 If you will teach the believers these things, you will be known as a faithful and good minister of Jesus, the Anointed One. Nurture others in the living Words of faith and in the knowledge of grace which you were taught.

7 Be quick to abstain from senseless traditions and legends, but instead be engaged in the training of Truth that brings righteousness.

On the political front, there are so many lies and deception that they leave many with conflict about what will happen in the future.  The deception of propaganda spewed out by the various forms of social media is reaching a crescendo.  We must protect ourselves from those spirits of deception and following demon-inspired revelations and theories.

This is not a recent phenomenon. 

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in his final greetings in Colossians chapter 4:

14 Luke the beloved physician greets you, as does Demas.

And in Philemon chapter 1:

23  Epaphras, my fellow prisoner in Christ Jesus, sends greetings to you,

24 and so do Mark, Aristarchus, Demas, and Luke, my fellow workers.

Later he wrote by The Holy Spirit in 2nd Timothy chapter 4:

9 Be diligent to come to me quickly;

10 For Demas, in love with this present world, has deserted me and gone to Thessalonica. Crescens has gone to Galatia, Titus to Dalmatia.

11 Luke alone is with me. Get Mark and bring him with you, for he is very useful to me for ministry.

Demas had ministered side by side with Paul and Paul had identified him as a fellow worker.  Later, Demas deserted Paul and returned to his love for the present world.  He fell away from the Truth and returned his focus to the worldly trappings.  His name means “governor of the people” thus he had been exalted by the people as a leader.  It is believed that Demas was from aristocracy, privilege, and wealth.

Paul was in a serious situation and Demas forsook (abandoned) him.  He sent Timothy word to “come quickly”.  Demas had not gotten the world out of his heart.

There are those who have not removed the leaven out of their hearts who will abandon us in these last days.  Those who were thought to represent us will have their hearts revealed and the Truth of what is in their hearts will be exposed.  Don’t be surprised!  Expect the unexpected.  Don’t allow yourself to be captivated by anyone who in the past seemed to be on the same page as you.  As Paul wrote, many will fall away and depart from the True faith.
