Pursuing The Extraordinary

January 8th, 2024

Are you pursuing the easy or the extraordinary?

Jesus spoke to Ananias in Acts chapter 9:

11  So the Lord said to him, “Arise and go to the street called Straight, and inquire at the house of Judas for one called Saul of Tarsus, for behold, he is praying.

12 And in a vision he has seen a man named Ananias coming in and putting his hand on him, so that he might receive his sight.”

15 But the Lord said to him, “Go, for he is a chosen vessel of Mine to bear My Name before Gentiles, kings, and the children of Israel.

16 For I will show him how many things he must suffer (experience) for My Name’s sake.”

Suffering not only includes the perils but also the deliverance.  Jesus suffered in the wilderness, yet He was endued with power afterward.  Many doors were opened to Paul so that he could fulfill his calling to bear the Name of Jesus before Gentiles, kings, and the children of Israel.

Pursuing the extraordinary will require consecration.  What is consecration?  It is:

to consecrate, sanctify, prepare, dedicate, be hallowed, be Holy, be sanctified, be separate.

Just as Aaron and his sons were anointed and consecrated, we too are to be consecrated as priests unto FATHER.  Walking in Holiness allows us to receive intimate Words from FATHER which are reserved for those who are willing to come into full maturity IN CHRIST.

Let us remove and strip away the excesses and trivialities of the world’s trappings.

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Colossians chapter 1:

9  For this reason we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to ask that you may be filled with the knowledge of His Will in all Wisdom and Spiritual understanding;

10 that you may walk worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing Him, being fruitful in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God;

We are called to be fruitful in every good work which is pleasing to HIM: spirit, soul, and body!

11 strengthened with all might, according to His glorious power, for all patience and longsuffering with joy;

We are strengthened by His glorious power, not man’s.

12 giving thanks to the Father Who has qualified us to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in the light.

There is a qualification requirement which means that we can be disqualified as well.  It is vital that we understand that we can be disqualified!

13 He has delivered us from the power of darkness and conveyed us into the Kingdom of the Son of His Love,

14 IN WHOM we have redemption through His Blood, the forgiveness of sins.

The power of darkness should have no impact on us as we walk in the light.

18 And He is the Head of the Body, the church, Who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in all things He may have the preeminence.

19 For it pleased the Father that in Him all the fullness should dwell,

20 and by Him to reconcile all things to Himself, by Him, whether things on earth or things in Heaven, having made peace through the Blood of His cross.

21 And you, who once were alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now He has reconciled

22 in the Body of His Flesh through death, to present you Holy, and blameless, and above reproach in His sight

23 if indeed you continue in the faith, grounded and steadfast, and are not moved away from the hope of the Gospel which you heard, which was preached to every creature under heaven, of which I, Paul, became a minister.

We are required to be longsuffering (i.e. patient, enduring) as we move into full maturity in Christ.  As we do, all blemishes are removed, and we become blameless in His sight.  We are transformed by the renewing or our mind. 

Will we suffer persecution?  Yes, the world will attempt to divert us from our individual callings.  The persecutions of the true church have been on the rise by those who have reprobate minds.  It is their attempt to justify their sinfulness.  Light judges darkness and exposes the Truth which can no longer be hidden.

There is a cost to walking in the supernatural, but it is well worth it!

FATHER’S Divine Enabling

January 7th, 2024

Grace is FATHER’S Divine enabling, it is a Love gift!

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Ephesians chapter 2:

4  But God, Who is rich in mercy, because of His Great Love with which He Loved us,

5 even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved),

6 and raised us up together, and made us sit together in the Heavenly places in Christ Jesus,

7 that in the ages to come He might show the exceeding riches of His grace in His kindness toward us in Christ Jesus.

8 For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God,

9 not of works, lest anyone should boast.

10 For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.

When we tap into the Supernatural grace of GOD, we are able to do things we could not do before.  HIS grace will overcome all adversity that you will encounter as you walk out your calling.  Roadblocks will be removed.  Grace will qualify you to complete various tasks by Divine revelation.

We must not allow our works to focus the attention on ourselves but rather we are to glorify Jesus in all that we do.  It is His works through us, His grace in us, His faith through us, to orchestrate the fulfilling of our individual ministries.  It is by HIS design!

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in 2nd Corinthians chapter 9:

6  But this I say: He who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and he who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully.

7 So let each one give as he purposes in his heart, not grudgingly or of necessity; for God Loves a cheerful giver.

8 And God is able to make all grace abound toward you, that you, always having all sufficiency in all things, may have an abundance for every good work. 9 As it is written: “He has dispersed abroad, He has given to the poor; His righteousness endures forever.”

10 Now may He who supplies seed to the sower, and bread for food, supply and multiply the seed you have sown and increase the fruits of your righteousness,

11 while you are enriched in everything for all liberality, which causes thanksgiving through us to God.

In other Words, Our FATHER Who supplies abundant seed for the farmer, which becomes bread for our meals, is even more extravagant toward you. First He supplies every need, plus more. Then He multiplies the seed as you sow it, so that the harvest of your generosity will grow.

11 You will be abundantly enriched in every way as you give generously on every occasion, for when we take your gifts to those in need, it causes many to give thanks to God.

FATHER is the Supplier AND the Multiplier by HIS grace, not by our works.  The growth in our individual ministries is always supernatural and we are to give HIM glory for such supernatural supply and multiplication.  We are to situate ourselves for GOD to get the glory for all to see.

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in 2nd Corinthians chapter 4:

7 But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellence of the power may be of God and not of us.

Today, open your mind, your heart, and your life to that which you don’t yet know, that you might contain that which is greater than yourself!

Once again,

For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them!

Open Doors In 2024

January 6th, 2024

There will be open doors for those who prepare!

Jesus spoke in Matthew chapter 7:

7  “Ask, and the gift is yours. Seek, and you’ll discover. Knock, and the door will be opened for you.

8 For every persistent one will get what he asks for. Every persistent seeker will discover what he longs for. And everyone who knocks persistently will one day find an open door.

9 “Do you know of any parent who would give his hungry child, who asked for food, a plate of rocks instead?

10 Or when asked for a piece of fish, what parent would offer his child a snake instead?

11 If you, imperfect as you are, know how to lovingly take care of your children and give them what’s best, how much more ready is Your Heavenly Father to give wonderful gifts to those who ask Him?”  TPT

Jesus spoke of a persistent believer who first asks, then seeks, and finally finds the door to be opened.  We have the responsibility to pursue our gifts and callings.

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit 1st Corinthians chapter 16:

8  But I will tarry in Ephesus until Pentecost.

9 For a great and effective door has opened to me, and there are many adversaries.

Paul knew about timing of when doors would be opened for him to preach the Gospel.  He also knew that there would be resistance to him as he went through the door.  The adversary will always attempt to resist you when you walk in your calling.  We must not cower down to the resistance… we are to respond as overcomers.

Jesus speaks in Revelation chapter 3:

7  “And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write, ‘These things says He Who is Holy, He Who is True, “He who has the key of David, He Who opens and no one shuts, and shuts and no one opens”:

8 “I know your works. See, I have set before you an open door, and no one can shut it; for you have a little strength, have kept My Word, and have not denied My Name.

When The King of The Universe opens a door, expect it to stay open and go through it!

Jesus gave us the expected process of empowerment when Luke recorded by The Holy Spirit in Luke chapter 4:

1  Then Jesus, being filled with the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness,

2 being tempted for forty days by the devil. And in those days He ate nothing, and afterward, when they had ended, He was hungry.

3 And the devil said to Him, “If You are the Son of God, command this stone to become bread.”

4 But Jesus answered him, saying, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every Word of God.'”

In the wilderness, there is only GOD, you, and the adversary who is attempting to keep you from fulfilling your destiny… as it was with Jesus.  When you are filled with The Holy Spirit, you are willing to confront any and all resistance to your destiny.

Testing you, empowers you.  You have to leave the familiar to enter into the new.

14 Then Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit to Galilee, and news of Him went out through all the surrounding region.

Clear endings are required for you to go into new beginnings.  They are divided by a wilderness.

Jesus spoke in Matthew chapter 12:

24  Now when the Pharisees heard it they said, “This fellow does not cast out demons except by Beelzebub, the ruler of the demons.”

25 But Jesus knew their thoughts, and said to them: “Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation, and every city or house divided against itself will not stand.

26 If Satan casts out Satan, he is divided against himself. How then will his kingdom stand?

27 And if I cast out demons by Beelzebub, by whom do your sons cast them out? Therefore they shall be your judges.

28 But if I cast out demons by the Spirit of God, surely the Kingdom of God has come upon you.

29 Or how can one enter a strong man’s house and plunder his goods, unless he first binds the strong man? And then he will plunder his house.

30 He who is not with Me is against Me, and he who does not gather with Me scatters abroad.

Once we have been tested and empowered by The Holy Spirit, we are able to bind the strong man and take over what used to be his assets for The Kingdom of GOD.  Door will be opening to those who actively ask, seek, and knock in 2024. 

Each of us has a Divine appointment to fulfill.

The Divine Path

January 5th, 2024

Let us walk in HIS Divine path for us!

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Ephesians chapter 2:

8  For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God,

9 not of works, lest anyone should boast.

10 For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.

We have become a re-created people that will fulfill the destiny He has given each of us, for we are joined to Jesus, the Anointed One. Even before we were born, God planned in advance our destiny and the good works we would do to fulfill it!

When you are doing what GOD called you to do, you never have anxiety doing it.

Grace and faith qualify you to do things you have never done before.  Doors will unexpectedly open for you to walk through as you trust FATHER in all matters.

It is important to glorify GOD for the success you accomplish by listening and responding to HIM for it is not by our works, lest any of us should boast.

We are created for good works, so it is our responsibility to provide a willingness to bring forth those good works.  How?  By listening to FATHER and acting on HIS Word.

Paul also wrote what he received by revelation in Ephesians chapter 1:

11 Through our union with Christ we too have been claimed by God as His own inheritance. Before we were even born, HE gave us our destiny; that we would fulfill the plan of God who always accomplishes every purpose and plan in HIS Heart.  TPT

The word predestined means: to predetermine, decide beforehand; God decreeing from eternity; to foreordain, appoint beforehand.

How glorious is it to comprehend the destiny FATHER has given each of us and fully walk in it!  Whatever we do, it should exalt Jesus Who is the Centerpiece of FATHER’S Banqueting Table.

As a gift, GOD gave us the ability to believe, the ability to have faith, and to walk out our God-given destiny.  However, it is our choice to accept or reject HIS gift.

It is recorded by THE SPIRIT in Jeremiah chapter 29:

10  For thus says the LORD: After seventy years are completed at Babylon (confusion), I will visit you and perform My good Word toward you, and cause you to return to this place.

11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the LORD, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.

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

13 And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart.

Notice that we seek HIM with ALL our heart.

A Word:

All that I am is inside of you. My power is not diminished because it has found a home in a temple of flesh. I am vast enough to fill all of creation, yet wise enough to fit My Spirit within vessels of humanity. Never limit the greatness of My glory within you. Never let the frailty of your humanness be reason to doubt what I can do through you. My strength is not limited by the weakness of its surroundings. I AM GOD, after all.

The Voice of My Spirit is alive within you, and you were created to hear, to speak My Truth, and to declare My Love. My compassion tugs at your heart, but it’s up to you to respond. When you walk with Me and recognize the greatness of My glory alive within you, you will do what few have dared to do. You will be a light in the darkness, encouragement to the weary, hope for those who have no hope. Partner with Me and allow Me to work through you, and you will see greatness and glory in ways you have never known.

Your Level Of Commitment

January 4th, 2024

How committed are you?

My one goal in 2024 is to hear FATHER more clearly and fully submit to whatever HE instructs me to do in all areas.

Wisdom wrote in Proverbs chapter 3:

Trust in the LORD with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding;

6 In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths.

7 Do not be wise in your own eyes; Fear the LORD and depart from evil.

8 It will be health to your flesh, And strength to your bones.

9 Honor the LORD with your possessions, And with the firstfruits of all your increase;

10 Then every dimension of your life will overflow with blessings from an uncontainable source of inner joy!

In other Words: Trust in the Lord completely, and do not rely on your own opinions. With all your heart rely on HIM to guide you, and HE will lead you in every decision you make. Become intimate with HIM in whatever you do, and HE will lead you wherever you go.

Who else are you willing to totally trust in all areas of your life?

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in 1st Thessalonians chapter 5:

23  Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you completely; and may your whole spirit, soul, and body be preserved blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

24 He who calls you is faithful, Who also will do it.

I keep this passage on my screen panel and is the first Scripture I see in the morning.

You can copy and paste this image and personalize your screen as well.

Listen!

January 3rd, 2024

To whom will you listen on a daily basis?

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Romans chapter 10:

8  But what does it say? “The Word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart” (that is, the word of faith which we preach):

9 that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.

10 For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

Words are vital! 

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Hebrews chapter 11:

3 By faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the Word (rēma) of God, so that the things which are seen were not made of things which are visible.

The word rēma means: that which is or has been uttered by the living voice, thing spoken, word; any sound produced by the voice and having definite meaning;

speech, discourse; what one has said; a series of words joined together into a sentence (a declaration of one’s mind made in words); an utterance; a saying of any sort as a message, a narrative concerning some occurrence.

FATHER spoke the world into existence.

11 For the Scripture says, “Whoever believes on Him will not be put to shame.”

12 For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek, for the same Lord over all is rich to all who call upon Him.

13 For “whoever calls on the name of the LORD shall be saved.”

14 How then shall they call on Him in whom they have not believed? And how shall they believe in Him of whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear without a preacher?

15 And how shall they preach unless they are sent? As it is written: “How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the gospel of peace, Who bring glad tidings of good things!”

16 But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Isaiah says, “LORD, who has believed our report?”

17 So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the Word (rēma) of God.

18 But I say, have they not heard? Yes indeed: “Their sound has gone out to all the earth, And their words to the ends of the world.”

19 But I say, did Israel not know? First Moses says: “I will provoke you to jealousy by those who are not a nation, I will move you to anger by a foolish nation.”

20 But Isaiah is very bold and says: “I was found by those who did not seek Me; I was made manifest to those who did not ask for Me.”

21 But to Israel he says: “All day long I have stretched out My hands To a disobedient and contrary people.”

Israel rejected “hearing” the rēma of GOD for their hearts were dull of hearing.  Why?  They wanted to do what was in their own hearts rather than submit to what was in FATHER’S Heart for them.

It is written by THE SPIRIT in Ezekiel chapter 12:

1  The word of YAHWEH was revealed to me:

2 “Son of man, you are living among a rebellious people. They have eyes, but they will not see; they have ears, but they will not hear because they are bent on rebellion.  TPT

They were contentious, rebellious, contrary, and disobedient toward GOD.  They chose to go their own way.

The key to becoming a fully mature Son or Daughter is to improve our ability to hear the Word (rēma) FATHER is speaking to us individually… and obey it.  How do we increase the clarity of our ears to hear?  The more we obey HIS Word, the greater the clarity.

How do we know if we are hearing HIM?  The rēma Word will be confirmed by the Scriptures, or logos Word.  I found that I must be quiet and tune out the world in order to improve my ability to listen to HIM.  If you bombard your ears with worldly sounds, you will become dull of hearing.  Have you ever noticed that pop music concerts are extremely loud?  They want to appeal to your soul.

We have a choice to whose voice we listen to on a daily basis.

Relationship

January 2nd, 2024

What did Enoch, Noah, and Abraham have in common?

David recorded by THE SPIRIT in Psalm chapter 34:

1  I will bless the LORD at all times; His praise shall continually be in my mouth. 2 My soul shall make its boast in the LORD; The humble shall hear of it and be glad.

3 Oh, magnify the LORD with me, And let us exalt His Name together.

4 I sought the LORD, and He heard me, And delivered me from all my fears.

5 They looked (nāḇaṭ) to Him and were radiant, And their faces were not ashamed.

6 This poor man cried out, and the LORD heard him, And saved him out of all his troubles.

7 The angel of the LORD encamps all around those who fear Him, And delivers them.

8 Oh, taste and see that the LORD is good; Blessed is the man who trusts in Him!

9 Oh, fear the LORD, you His saints! There is no want to those who fear Him.

10 The young lions lack and suffer hunger; But those who seek the LORD shall not lack any good thing.

The Hebrew word nāḇaṭ means: to look, regard, to focus on, to dwell on intently, show regard to, pay attention to, consider.

If we are distracted by the world, we cannot seriously nāḇaṭ THE LORD!  Enoch did not have the Old Testament or the New Testament to read the logos Word.

Moses recorded by THE SPIRIT in Genesis chapter 5:

21  Enoch lived sixty-five years, and begot Methuselah.

22 After he begot Methuselah, Enoch walked with God three hundred years, and had sons and daughters.

23 So all the days of Enoch were three hundred and sixty-five years.

24 And Enoch walked with God; and he was not, for God took him.

The name “Enoch” means “dedicated”.  The following provides a timeline:

Notice that Enoch lived during Adam’s lifetime.  Enoch would have heard stories of Adam walking with GOD during the cool of the day.  Enoch heard the rhema Word and dedicated himself to do the same.  He was sixty-five when he began to walk with GOD.

In Genesis chapter 6:

8  But Noah found grace in the Eyes of the LORD.

9 This is the genealogy of Noah. Noah was a just man, perfect in his generations. Noah walked with God.

Though Noah was born after Enoch’s departure, his grandfather would have told him the stories of his great grandfather, Enoch.  Noah chose to walk uprightly as well.  Noah was a Godly man of integrity, without fault in his generation, and he lived close to God.

Abraham was born two years after the death of Noah.  However, Shem would have told Abraham about Noah’s life as well as the details of the flood.

In Genesis chapter 12:

Now the LORD had said to Abram: “Get out of your country, From your family And from your father’s house, To a land that I will show you.

2 I will make you a great nation; I will bless you And make your name great; And you shall be a blessing.

3 I will bless those who bless you, And I will curse him who curses you; And in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.”

4 So Abram departed as the LORD had spoken to him, and Lot went with him. And Abram was seventy-five years old when he departed from Haran.

Abraham had committed himself to THE LORD as well.  In response, THE LORD spoke to him and directed his life in a similar way to that of Enoch and Noah.

The commonality of all three was a relationship with Our Heavenly Father.

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Romans chapter 4:

1  What then shall we say that Abraham our father has found according to the flesh?

2 For if Abraham was justified by works, he has something to boast about, but not before God.

3 For what does the Scripture say? “Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness.”

As you and I look up and focus on our relationship with FATHER, Jesus, and The Holy Spirit, our relationship will grow.  Focusing solely on the Covenant without the relationship, we will miss the point… and the blessing.

It is all about relationship!

Global Chaos and Prophecy

January 1st, 2024

Are we serving The Lamb or The Lion… of both?

Lance provides some perspective about 2024:

Becoming Greatly Beloved

December 31st, 2023

Our first question in the morning: Lord, what are you wanting to tell me today?

Men and women spend their time searching out some new revelation from those who have a supposed deeper relationship with GOD.  A PhD behind your name does not make you more anointed than a person with only a high school diploma.

When my wife was seven years old, she was slain in The Holy Spirit for about forty-five minutes during a church service altar call.  She responded multiple times “Yes LORD”.  She has always had a sensitive spirit which I find of greater importance than anyone’s education.  Our second youngest grandson encountered Jesus in our home when he was about the same age.  My wife had momentarily seen Him a few times walking through our house, but our grandson spoke to Him.  What a blessing!

Jesus wants to fellowship with each of us at a personal level.  The Holy Spirit wants to lead us into all Truth, but we must devote time to both!  Most people are too busy to develop such a close relationship.  However, it is their choice what they do with their time.

Once again, Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Acts chapter 17:

21 For all the Athenians and the foreigners who were there spent their time in nothing else but either to tell or to hear some new thing.

It was the favorite pastime of the Athenians and visitors to Athens to discuss the newest ideas and philosophies.  Has that pastime changed?  Television programs are full of opinionated people who want us to focus on them and their views… as though they are endowed with Wisdom from Above.

As I wrote yesterday, many believers have an overactive soul and an underactive spirit.  We must tune out the noise of the world. 

It is written by THE SPIRIT in Daniel chapter 1:

17 God imparted insight and skill in every aspect of literature and science to the four Hebrew men. Daniel also had the unique gift of interpreting every kind of supernatural vision and dream.

In chapter 2:

  1. Now in the second year of Nebuchadnezzar’s reign, Nebuchadnezzar had dreams; and his spirit was so troubled that his sleep left him.

The king sought out the interpretation of the dream from the Chaldeans but to no avail.

16  So Daniel went in and asked the king to give him time, that he might tell the king the interpretation.

17 Then Daniel went to his house, and made the decision known to Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, his companions,

18 that they might seek mercies from the God of heaven concerning this secret, so that Daniel and his companions might not perish with the rest of the wise men of Babylon.

19 Then the secret was revealed to Daniel in a night vision. So Daniel blessed the God of Heaven.

20 Daniel answered and said: “Blessed be the Name of God forever and ever, For Wisdom and might are His.

2] And HE changes the times and the seasons; HE removes kings and raises up kings; HE gives Wisdom to the wise And knowledge to those who have understanding.

22 HE reveals deep and secret things; HE knows what is in the darkness, And light dwells with HIM.

23 “I thank You and praise You, O God of my fathers; You have given me Wisdom and might, And have now made known to me what we asked of You, For You have made known to us the king’s demand.”

When we seek FATHER, exalt Jesus, and listen to The Holy Spirit, we too will be delivered from death and destruction.  We will be sought out to provide answers when none seem to exist.

In Daniel chapter 4, the king had another dream:

18 “This dream I, King Nebuchadnezzar, have seen. Now you, Belteshazzar, declare its interpretation, since all the wise men of my kingdom are not able to make known to me the interpretation; but you are able, for the Spirit of the Holy God is in you.”

Are you known for having The Spirit of THE HOLY GOD in you?  As we come into the fullness of mature Sons and Daughters, we too will become known in a similar manner.

In chapter 6, we find the key to Daniel’s relationship with FATHER:

10  Now when Daniel knew that the writing was signed, he went home. And in his upper room, with his windows open toward Jerusalem, he knelt down on his knees three times that day, and prayed and gave thanks before his God, as was his custom since early days.

11 Then these men assembled and found Daniel praying and making supplication before his God.

Daniel’s priority was to earnestly seek FATHER.  He truly had a heart for GOD amidst the turmoil around him.  How was he known in Heaven?

20  Now while I was speaking, praying, and confessing my sin and the sin of my people Israel, and presenting my supplication before the LORD my God for the Holy mountain of My God,

21 yes, while I was speaking in prayer, the man Gabriel, whom I had seen in the vision at the beginning, being caused to fly swiftly, reached me about the time of the evening offering.

22 And he informed me, and talked with me, and said, “O Daniel, I have now come forth to give you skill to understand.

23 At the beginning of your supplications the command went out, and I have come to tell you, for you are greatly Beloved; therefore consider the matter, and understand the vision:

And in chapter 10:

11  And he said to me, “O Daniel, man greatly Beloved, understand the Words that I speak to you, and stand upright, for I have now been sent to you.” While he was speaking this word to me, I stood trembling.

18 Then again, the one having the likeness of a man touched me and strengthened me.

19 And he said, “O man greatly Beloved, fear not! Peace be to you; be strong, yes, be strong!” So when he spoke to me I was strengthened, and said, “Let my lord speak, for you have strengthened me.”

What a honor to be called “greatly Beloved”!

Considering What Is True

December 30th, 2023

What are you considering to be true?

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Acts chapter 17:

21 For all the Athenians and the foreigners who were there spent their time in nothing else but either to tell or to hear some new thing.

In other Words, it was the favorite pastime of the Athenians and visitors to Athens to discuss the newest ideas and philosophies.

Many believers have an overactive soul and an underactive spirit.  Quiet time is a necessity to subdue the soul from the noise of the world.  The Holy Spirit does not yell but is that Still Small Voice in your spirit.

It is written by THE SPIRIT in Psalm chapter 46:

10  Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth!

We need to surrender our anxiety and our impatience!

Moses recorded by THE SPIRIT in Numbers chapter 21:

4  Then they journeyed from Mount Hor by the Way of the Red Sea, to go around the land of Edom; and the soul of the people became very discouraged on the way.

5 And the people spoke against God and against Moses: “Why have you brought us up out of Egypt to die in the wilderness? For there is no food and no water, and our soul loathes this worthless bread.”

6 So the LORD sent fiery serpents among the people, and they bit the people; and many of the people of Israel died.

7 Therefore the people came to Moses, and said, “We have sinned, for we have spoken against the LORD and against you; pray to the LORD that He take away the serpents from us.” So Moses prayed for the people.

8 Then the LORD said to Moses, “Make a fiery serpent, and set it on a pole; and it shall be that everyone who is bitten, when he looks at it, shall live.”

9 So Moses made a bronze serpent, and put it on a pole; and so it was, if a serpent had bitten anyone, when he looked at the bronze serpent, he lived.

Their impatience with The Lord brought forth judgment among the people.  Bronze represents judgment in Scripture and when the people looked up, their redemption came.  Their healing occurred when they sought the foreshadow of Christ on the cross.

John wrote by The Holy Spirit in chapter 3:

14  And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up,

15 that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have Eternal life.

16 For God so Loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have Everlasting Life.

17 For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.

This coming year will bring forth global change and chaos like no other year since I have been alive.  The nefarious ones want to destroy America for it stands in the way of a one-world government.  They are using “lawfare” in an attempt to keep Cyrus from obtaining office for a second time.  Why?  He stands in the way of their destructive plans and their own safety.  The true solution is spiritual in nature.  Why would any sane person set fire to their own house?

You and I were placed on this earth at this time in history.  WE NEED to not only hear FATHER but walk out our individual callings IN CHRIST!

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Colossians chapter 2:

6  As you therefore have received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in Him,

7 rooted and built up in Him and established in the faith, as you have been taught, abounding in it with thanksgiving.

8 Beware lest anyone cheat you through philosophy and empty deceit, according to the tradition of men, according to the basic principles of the world, and not according to Christ.

9 For in Him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily;

10 and you are complete in Him, Who is the Head of all principality and power.

In other Words, beware that no one distracts you or intimidates you in their attempt to lead you away from Christ’s fullness by pretending to be full of wisdom when they’re filled with endless arguments of human logic. For they operate with humanistic and clouded judgments based on the mindset of this world system, and not the anointed Truths of Jesus Christ.

In 2024, our faith will be tested like never before.  We must discern the Truth from the lies being spewed out by multiple sources who proclaim that they are accurately reporting the news.  We are to hear that Still Small Voice and discern Truth from fiction.  The Truth will set you free!
