When we walk fully submitted to The Holy Spirit, we then walk in the full authority given to us from FATHER, and that authority is unlimited in power.  In order to come to full maturity as a Son, we must grasp this Truth.  A mature Son will walk in the full authority of Our Heavenly Father and Jesus is the Perfect Example of this reality. 

Once Jesus encountered great faith by the Centurion, He operated in the unlimited higher realm where there is no time or space limitation.  In order for us to operate in this same realm, our mindsets must change.  Don’t let your soulish logic or reasoning prevent you from grasping this Truth.  Your past experience should not dictate your willingness to change.  We must crucify the flesh and move on.  We can walk in authority because we are under authority.

Matthew recorded by The Holy Spirit in Matthew chapter 20:

20 Then the mother of Zebedee’s sons came to Him (Jesus) with her sons, kneeling down and asking something from Him.

21 And He said to her, “What do you wish?”

She said to Him, “Grant that these two sons of mine may sit, one on Your right hand and the other on the left, in Your kingdom.”

22 But Jesus answered and said, “You do not know what you ask. Are you able to drink the cup that I am about to drink, and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with?”

They said to Him, “We are able.”

23 So He said to them, “You will indeed drink My cup, and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with; but to sit on My right hand and on My left is not Mine to give, but it is for those for whom it is prepared by My Father.”

24 And when the ten heard it, they were greatly displeased with the two brothers. 25 But Jesus called them to Himself and said, “You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and those who are great exercise authority over them. 26 Yet it shall not be so among you; but whoever desires to become great among you, let him be your servant. 27 And whoever desires to be first among you, let him be your slave— 28 just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many.”

“Servant-hood” is another key to the supernatural power of GOD allowing the Heavenly realm to manifest in this life and requires the person to understand the effectiveness of serving.  Being a servant and taking the lower position allows someone to experience promotion from THE LORD.

Jesus wants us to serve people and He will promote us from that place.  Everything that you do for others is recorded in Heaven on your behalf.  When I give to the impoverished kids, I serve them even if they do not realize who it is that is feeding and clothing them… but FATHER knows and makes a record of my willingness to serve without recognition from the recipient. 

When I tithe and give offerings with a pure heart, I serve others as those offerings are being consumed on behalf of The Kingdom.  These actions encourage me to walk in great faith and increase my serving (and giving) to others.  I “get in order to give and serve” rather than “give in order to get”.  As we walk in this revelation, more resources open up for our access, use, and distribution.

It is fine for you to be counted as “the last” for you will not stay there very long.  FATHER will promote you to a higher level.  Self-promotion does not work in the Kingdom.  Selfishness does not exist in Heaven so we should eradicate it from our mindsets all together.  GOD promotes the person who is willing to serve.

GOD Loves humility and it is noted in Heaven.  Some people have attempted to promote themselves forward in order to gain position.  In the business realm, we termed this the Peter Principle where people rose to their level of incompetence. 

In the Kingdom, FATHER promotes people to their most effective level of service to others based on their revelation of power and authority.  There is no incompetence in this realm.  FATHER knows where you are going because HE wrote your book before you were formed in the womb thus you will be promoted to the fullness of your calling as you serve others according to that calling.

The Holy Spirit has delivered us from our limitations and ourselves.  The arrival of The Holy Spirit came in great demonstrations as Luke recorded by THE SPIRIT in Acts chapter 2:

1 On the day Pentecost was being fulfilled, all the disciples were gathered in one place. 2 Suddenly they heard the sound of a violent blast of wind rushing into the house from out of the Heavenly realm. The roar of the wind was so overpowering it was all anyone could bear! 3 Then all at once a pillar of fire appeared before their eyes. It separated into tongues of fire that engulfed each one of them. 4 They were all filled and equipped with the Holy Spirit and were inspired to speak in tongues—empowered by the Spirit to speak in languages they had never learned!

We should expect supernatural manifestations of The Holy Spirit in our walk just as they experienced in the book of Acts.  We have been baptized in power which awaits our exercise of that power.  Until then, it lays dormant within us.  That indwelling in each of us has the Absolute Truth contained inside and is waiting to be expressed with the demonstration of power and authority.

Jesus spoke in Mark chapter 11:

22 Jesus replied, “Let the faith of God be in you! 23 Listen to the truth I speak to you: Whoever says to this mountain with great faith and does not doubt, ‘Mountain, be lifted up and thrown into the midst of the sea,’ and believes that what he says will happen, it will be done. 24 This is the reason I urge you to boldly believe for whatever you ask for in prayer—be convinced that you have received it and it will be yours

If great faith wasn’t possible, Jesus would not have urged us to walk in it.  If we did not have the ability to walk in “the faith of God”, He would not have included it in the above passage.  The Holy Spirit awaits our mindset change brought on by the revelation of the above Words of Jesus!  As we lead a crucified life, we will live in the same manner as Jesus and fulfill His Directives such as the one above.

Let the limitations be lifted immediately!

When you discern authority given to us by FATHER, it is unlimited in nature, it is unlimited in power.  Heaven on earth involves discerning authority and operating in it.  This Truth was made clear in Matthew chapter 8 when Jesus encountered the Roman soldier and spoke concerning this revelation of great faith:

5 When Jesus entered the village of Capernaum, a captain in the Roman army approached Him, asking for a miracle. 6 “Lord,” he said, “I have a son who is lying in my home, paralyzed and suffering terribly.”

7 Jesus responded, “I will go with you and heal him.”

Jesus had no reluctance whatsoever to heal the son.  As well, He had no reservations about responding to a Gentile, even though He was called to minister to Israelites.

8–9 But the Roman officer interjected, “Lord, who am I to have You come into my house? I understand Your authority, for I too am a man who walks under authority and have authority over soldiers who serve under me. I can tell one to go and he’ll go, and another to come and he’ll come. I command my servants and they’ll do whatever I ask. So I know that all You need to do is to stand here and command healing over my son and he will be instantly healed.”

Authority from FATHER supersedes time and space.  Jesus did not have to make the trek to the Centurion’s house nor did He have to lay hands on the son to receive his healing.  Authority is not restricted by physical limitations.  Jesus was willing to operate at the lower physical level and go to the Centurion’s house but when the revelation of great faith came forth, then Jesus operated at a higher level, above the physical.

10 Jesus was astonished when He heard this and said to those who were following Him, “He has greater faith than anyone I’ve encountered in Israel! 11 Listen to what I am about to tell you. Multitudes of Gentiles will stream from the east and the west, to enter into the Heavenly Kingdom with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. 12 But many Israelites, born to be heirs of the Kingdom, will be turned away and banished into the darkness where there will be bitter weeping and unbearable anguish.”

13 Then Jesus turned to the Roman officer and said, “Go home. All that you have believed for will be done for you!” And his son was healed at that very moment.

An important Key to the Kingdom was just given in this passage, if we truly understand authority given to us from FATHER and walk in it, we will walk in great faith and no longer be limited by the physical.  Jesus revealed this revelation as He clearly stated that the Gentiles would be heirs of the Heavenly Kingdom and that many Israelites would not receive their intended inheritance due to their lack of faith in the authority of Jesus Christ.  Great faith is not limited to a select few.

Jesus spoke in Matthew chapter 7:

21 “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter into Heaven’s kingdom. It is only those who persist in doing the will of My Heavenly Father. 22 On the day of judgment many will say to Me, ‘Lord, Lord, don’t You remember us? Didn’t we prophesy in your name? Didn’t we cast out demons and do many miracles in Your name?’ 23 But I will have to say to them, ‘Go away from Me, you lawless rebels! I’ve never been joined to you!’

24 “Everyone who hears my teaching and applies it to his life can be compared to a wise man who built his house on an unshakable foundation. 25 When the rains fell and the flood came, with fierce winds beating upon his house, it stood firm because of its strong foundation.

26 “But everyone who hears My teaching and does not apply it to his life can be compared to a foolish man who built his house on sand. 27 When it rained and rained and the flood came, with wind and waves beating upon his house, it collapsed and was swept away.”

28 By the time Jesus finished speaking, the crowds were awestruck by His teaching, 29 because His Words carried such great authority, quite unlike the religious scholars.

Jesus taught from an inner knowledge of God and his Word, for His teaching emphasized obedience to God from the heart, not just outwardly keeping laws.  If we don’t deal with the inward man, we will not be “joined” with Jesus.  You can invoke the Law and produce results, yet if you don’t do it with Agape Love as your motivation, you have not embraced the teachings of Jesus.

The scribes and the Pharisees had no power behind their words for they were “religious” in their teachings.  Wisdom wrote in Proverbs chapter 25:

14 Clouds that carry no water

    and a wind that brings no refreshing rain—

    that’s what you’re like when you boast

    of a gift that you don’t have.

When there is no Kingdom power and authority demonstrated, the religious scholars were like clouds without rain.

Peter recorded by The Holy Spirit in 2^nd Peter chapter 2:

15 They have wandered off the main road and have gone astray, because they are prophets who love profit—the wages they earn by wrongdoing. They are following the example of Balaam, son of Beor, 16 who was rebuked for evil by a donkey incapable of speech yet that spoke with a human voice and restrained the prophet’s madness.

17 These people are dried-up riverbeds, waterless clouds pushed along by stormy winds—the deepest darkness of gloom has been prepared for them. 18 They spout off with their grandiose, impressive nonsense. Consumed with the lusts of the flesh, they lure back into sin those who recently escaped from their error. 19 They promise others freedom, yet they themselves are slaves to corruption, for people are slaves to whatever overcomes them.

We must be careful to separate ourselves from the false prophets whose fruit turns out to be grandiose, impressive nonsense.  We do not want to be overcome by their slavery brought on by their error.  When we are empty and false, we too are clouds without rain.

The symbols of clouds, wind, and rain are significant. Clouds are often a metaphor for the people of God filled with glory. Wind is an emblem of the Holy Spirit bringing new life. Rain often points to teaching the revelation-Truths that refresh and water the seeds of spiritual growth.

It is recorded by The Holy Spirit in Isaiah chapter 55:

10 ​​“For as the rain comes down, and the snow from Heaven,

​​And do not return there,

​​But water the earth,

​​And make it bring forth and bud,

​​That it may give seed to the sower

​​And bread to the eater,

11 ​​So shall My Word be that goes forth from My mouth;

​​It shall not return to Me void,

​​But it shall accomplish what I please,

​​And it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it.

 God’s anointed people are to be clouds carried by the wind of the Holy Spirit that bring refreshing truths to his people.

And Jude expressed by THE SPIRIT:

12 False teachers are like dangerous hidden reefs at your love feasts, lying in wait to shipwreck the immature. They feast among you without reverence, having no shepherd but themselves. They are clouds with no rain, swept along by the winds. Like fruitless late-autumn trees—twice dead, barren, and plucked up by the roots!

Clouds without rain are fruitless and we are called to be fruit inspectors, especially when it concerns prophecies.

We need to see things from a Divine perspective and act accordingly.  This will occur as we renew our mind.  A renewed mind is essential for continued victory in our lives.  A renewed mind will speak the pure Oracles of GOD to those who have ears to hear.  In turn, they will respond.

The Sons and Daughters of GOD need to demonstrate the Glory of GOD in their everyday lives by manifesting the power and authority given to them from Above.  When this demonstration occurs as it did in Jesus’ earthly ministry, people will be drawn to us and respond.

Do angels say or do anything apart from FATHER’S perfect plan, will, or purpose?  Absolutely not!  They have a mandate to assist us in bringing Heaven to earth.  Yes, they may face opposition from the devil and his minions but they overcome that opposition as long as we don’t empower the enemy with our Words or actions.  They carry Heaven’s power with them when they are summoned to the earth on our behalf.  They are dispatched to help us carry out our individual callings.

In John chapter 10, Jesus spoke concerning the difference between the two kingdoms and their attributes:

9 I am the Gateway. To enter through me is to experience life, freedom, and satisfaction. 10 A thief has only one thing in mind—he wants to steal, slaughter, and destroy. But I have come to give you everything in abundance, more than you expect—life in its fullness until you overflow!

Are you living in abundance to the point of overflowing?  If not, there is still more required in changing your mindset.  I didn’t write or express this Truth, Jesus did.  My responsibility to you is to assist you in reaching full maturity (and this includes me as well).  I will not be denied this expectation set by Jesus.  Will you?

I have experienced abundance to overflowing a few times in my life but not consistently.  I am fully convinced that we can walk at the level Jesus expects.  He set the bar, I didn’t.  Since I have tasted abundance, I can testify of it firsthand.  That abundance did not come to me by my own devices but instead it came by responding to His revelation and acting accordingly.

The Kingdom of GOD is far beyond what anyone can imagine.  Does overflowing abundance denote restriction?  When Jesus came, He spoke with authority from the Throne of GOD, not with the world’s perspective of scarcity and destruction.  Jesus came from the place of Absolute Authority.  Every piece of real estate must submit to this Authority since it was first formed, established, and owned by The Creator.  Ownership was transferred by lawless deception thus we are to recover real estate by lawful means through our covenant with Heaven.

The Holy Spirit speaks only what The Father is saying and since this is the Source of Absolute Truth, power, and authority, I desire to pray more in Tongues, not less.  I want only Truth to proceed out of my mouth when I pray.  My angels will respond to those Words, not words coming from a worldly mindset.

Jesus spoke in John chapter 5:

30 “Nothing I do is from My own initiative. As I hear the judgment passed by my Father, I execute those judgments. And My judgments will be perfect, because I seek only to fulfill the desires of My Father Who sent Me. 31 If I were to make claims about Myself, you would have reasons to doubt. 32 But there is ANOTHER WHO bears witness on My behalf, and I know that what HE testifies of Me is true.”

In John chapter 6, Jesus emphatically states:

38 And I have come out of Heaven not for My own desires, but for the satisfaction of My Father WHO sent Me.

FATHER validated Jesus by the demonstration of power and authority over the god of this world.  He did not need human validation.  Jesus’ desires, Words, and actions specifically came from FATHER.  We need to walk in the same manner if we are to expect the same results as Jesus when He walked the earth… even greater results.  I would call that “overflowing”.

The Holy Spirit speaks in the same manner as Jesus, the Divine Intent of FATHER thus The Holy Spirit is speaking what the FATHER is saying to us and through us.  His desire is to implement the complete Will of GOD into a believer’s life. 

The expressed Will of GOD is to pray Heaven onto the earth and we are meant to be the vessels who accomplish it without further delay.  We are to overtake the kingdoms of this world.  We are the ones who are here and intended to accomplish the mandate given to us in what is known as The Lord’s prayer. 

The Holy Spirit was sent to empower this mandate so let us not neglect Him in any aspect of our lives.  Why do you think the adversary works so hard in trying to remove The Holy Spirit from being allowed in the church services?  He is well aware of The Holy Spirit’s ministry which is to empower us to overthrow his temporary kingdom.  The Holy Spirit needs our bodies, our voices, and our breath, so let us fully submit them to Him once and for all.  This is why we are to live a crucified life.

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in 1^st Corinthians chapter 6:

19 Have you forgotten that your body is now the Sacred Temple of the Spirit of Holiness, Who lives in you? You don’t belong to yourself any longer, for the gift of God, the Holy Spirit, lives inside your sanctuary.20 You were God’s expensive purchase, paid for with tears of blood, so by all means, then, use your body to bring glory to God!

Let us bring glory to FATHER in all our words and actions today!

We need to see things from a Divine perspective.  This will occur as we renew our mind.  A renewed mind is essential for continued victory in our lives.

In Matthew chapter 6, Jesus spoke concerning the Secret Place and how we are to pray to FATHER:

6 But whenever you pray, go into your innermost chamber and be alone with Father God, praying to Him in secret. And your Father, Who sees all you do, will reward you openly. 7 When you pray, there is no need to repeat empty phrases, praying like the Gentiles do, for they expect God to hear them because of their many words. 8 There is no need to imitate them, since Your Father already knows what you need before you ask Him.

9 Pray like this:

‘Our Beloved Father, dwelling in the Heavenly realms,

    may the glory of Your Name

    be the center on which our lives turn.

10 Manifest your kingdom realm,

    and cause Your every purpose to be fulfilled on earth,

    just as it is in Heaven.

11 We acknowledge you as our Provider

    of all we need each day.

We are to pray that EVERY PURPOSE of FATHER be fulfilled on earth just as it is in Heaven.  There is nothing in Heaven that isn’t part of HIS purposes.  Those same purposes are meant to be brought forth to earth to us and through us.  We should have the expectation that all of His purposes are to come forth on earth. 

This will occur as we are transformed by the renewing of our mind and praying daily, even continuously in The Holy Spirit.  His Directives will not only meet our daily needs, but we will be empowered to bring forth the fullness of His Kingdom.  Jesus set this expectation and we need to pray and speak this forth with true intent rather than simply quoting what is written without any commitment to be a part of the flow.

We are to assess our hearts and not allow unforgiveness to be found in us.  Jesus instructed us how to remove unforgiveness… release forgiveness to others.

12 Forgive us the wrongs we have done as we ourselves

    release forgiveness to those who have wronged us.

Jesus revealed the fact that we will face opposition to establishing FATHER’S Kingdom on earth.  This is why we will be described as Overcomers.  FATHER accepts the responsibility to set us free from evil.  If HE didn’t have the power to do so, Jesus would not have included it in this prayer thus we need to expect HIM to perform.  Why?  This is part of our covenant with HIM by HIS own Word and we acknowledge that covenant every time we pray.

13 Rescue us every time we face tribulation

    and set us free from evil.

    For you are the King who rules

    with power and glory forever. Amen.’

Jesus then emphasized the need to express forgiveness of the faults of others.  We are told to imitate GOD and HE forgave us of our faults thus as mature Sons and Daughters, we are to do the same toward others.  We must not allow unforgiveness to hinder the performance of our covenant with FATHER.

14 “And when you pray, make sure you forgive the faults of others so that your Father in heaven will also forgive you. 15 But if you withhold forgiveness from others, your Father withholds forgiveness from you.”

All authority has been given to us through the Name of Jesus for the King and His Kingdom has given us authority as ambassadors.  Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in 2^nd Corinthians chapter 5:

20 We are ambassadors of the Anointed One who carry the message of Christ to the world, as though God were tenderly pleading with them directly through our lips. So we tenderly plead with you on Christ’s behalf, “Turn back to God and be reconciled to Him.” 21 For God made the only One Who did not know sin to become sin for us, so that we might become the righteousness of God through our union with Him.

It is up to each of us to carry the message of Christ to the world.  Peter wrote in his 1^st epistle chapter 4:

11 Whoever speaks, [let him do it as one who utters] oracles of God; whoever renders service, [let him do it] as with the strength which God furnishes abundantly, so that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ (the Messiah). To Him be the glory and dominion forever and ever (through endless ages). Amen (so be it).

Peter expresses the revelation that FATHER will provide abundantly and we need to grasp this Truth and doubt not.  Agape Love isn’t reluctant to bless and we are given the tools when we act according to FATHER’S Directives.  Jesus told us to constantly plant seed in our hearts and expect a good harvest of fruit.  This fruit includes every aspect of establishing the Kingdom on earth.  There is no limitation of strength, Wisdom, understanding, knowledge, skill, or finances because FATHER is ready to be our Provision in all areas.  HE is not the problem or the restriction, our less than mature mindset is where the problem lies.

12 Beloved, do not be amazed and bewildered at the fiery ordeal which is taking place to test your quality, as though something strange (unusual and alien to you and your position) were befalling you.

13 But insofar as you are sharing Christ’s sufferings, rejoice, so that when His glory [full of radiance and splendor] is revealed, you may also rejoice with triumph [exultantly].

Our quality and commitment will be tested to insure purity in our motives.  We must not ask amiss and this is why we need to meditate on His Word day and night.  There are no scarcities in Heaven.

We need to see things from a Divine perspective.  This will occur as we renew our mind.  A renewed mind is essential for continued victory in our lives.

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Romans chapter 12:

2 Stop imitating the ideals and opinions of the culture around you, but be inwardly transformed by the Holy Spirit through a total reformation of how you think. This will empower you to discern God’s will as you live a beautiful life, satisfying and perfect in His eyes.

The Holy Spirit plays a crucial part in the renewing of the mind.  As I pray in The Holy Spirit, I promote the transformation of my mind and thus my priorities change to the Heavenly perspective.  The trappings of the world are no longer a distraction nor of any interest.

As our mindsets change, we will become more aware of angelic activity around us.  Our angels are not sitting dormant in Heaven for they are ministering spirits given to us while we are here on earth.  Jacob came to this reality at Bethel.  It is written by THE SPIRIT in Genesis chapter 28:

10 Now Jacob went out from Beersheba and went toward Haran. 11 So he came to a certain place and stayed there all night, because the sun had set. And he took one of the stones of that place and put it at his head, and he lay down in that place to sleep. 12 Then he dreamed, and behold, a ladder was set up on the earth, and its top reached to heaven; and there the angels of God were ascending and descending on it.

13 And behold, the LORD stood above it and said: “I am the LORD God of Abraham your father and the God of Isaac; the land on which you lie I will give to you and your descendants. 14 Also your descendants shall be as the dust of the earth; you shall spread abroad to the west and the east, to the north and the south; and in you and in your seed all the families of the earth shall be blessed. 15 Behold, I am with you and will keep you wherever you go, and will bring you back to this land; for I will not leave you until I have done what I have spoken to you.”

Jacob was the 3^rd generation of Abraham yet he didn’t know about this Sacred place?  Both Abraham and Isaac had failed to teach Jacob about their relationship with FATHER or else he paid no attention to them.

16 Then Jacob awoke from his sleep and said, “Surely the LORD is in this place, and I did not know it.” 17 And he was afraid and said, “How awesome is this place! This is none other than the house of God, and this is the gate of Heaven!”

18 Then Jacob rose early in the morning, and took the stone that he had put at his head, set it up as a pillar, and poured oil on top of it. 19 And he called the name of that place Bethel; but the name of that city had been Luz previously.

When FATHER shows up, so does our mindset.  Jacob changed the name of the place from Luz (meaning almond tree; ability to see) to Bethel (House or dwelling place of GOD; experiencing GOD).  It is one thing to see yet another to experience.  A “portal” opened up from Heaven and the angels accessed this portal into the physical realm.

20 Then Jacob made a vow, saying, “If God will be with me, and keep me in this way that I am going, and give me bread to eat and clothing to put on, 21 so that I come back to my father’s house in peace, then the LORD shall be my God. 22 And this stone which I have set as a pillar shall be God’s house, and of all that You give me I will surely give a tenth to You.”

I am convinced that this particular stone came from the altar that Abraham built in Genesis chapter 12.

When Jacob had his encounter with THE LORD, his mindset changed and he immediately received and embraced the revelation of the tithe.  Abraham received the revelation of the tithe when he encountered Jesus in Genesis chapter 14:

18 Then Melchizedek king of Salem brought out bread and wine; He was the priest of God Most High. 19 And He blessed him and said:

​

​​“Blessed be Abram of God Most High,

​​Possessor of heaven and earth;

20 ​​And blessed be God Most High,

​​Who has delivered your enemies into your hand.”

​

And he gave him a tithe of all.

Even though Abraham had these critical encounters with GOD, he and Isaac did not sufficiently train up Jacob concerning these supernatural events.  However, FATHER made sure that HIS covenant with Abraham would survive the lack of training or lack of attention by Jacob.  If the tithe was not so important, it would not be included and emphasized in these encounters.  The tithe precedes anticipated blessings in both accounts as their mindsets were changed by the revelations they received from FATHER.  When you start seeing from Heaven’s perspective, you respond according to Heaven’s priorities for your life.

Once we are fully rooted and grounded in Agape Love, we will no longer limit FATHER and HIS blessings in our lives.  FATHER wants us to see and experience supernatural growth in our lives but it is up to each of us to remove the limitations promoted by our mindset.

Change is a part of life.  When you resist change, you become stagnant.  The Holy Spirit in us awaits the planting of the Seed which is The Word of GOD.  The anointing and Heavens resources may lie dormant in the believer for his or her entire life.  These writings are meant to activate those resources and become a blessing to others.  The result should be expansion, not contraction or withdrawal.

It is written by The Holy Spirit in Deuteronomy chapter 8:

18 “And you shall remember the LORD your God, for it is He who gives you power to get wealth, that He may establish His covenant which He swore to your fathers, as it is this day.

FATHER gives us the POWER to get wealth rather than simply giveing us wealth.  It is up to each of us to activate this power.  Why get wealth?  It is meant to establish His covenant on the earth.  When His mature Sons and Daughters walk in this Truth, He moves in situations to accomplish His Word.  These Sons and Daughters walk in Agape Love and are full of integrity, faith, and trust IN HIM.  Those who don’t embrace this Truth simply become observers and may end up losing what they have.

In the parable of the talents (Matthew chapter 25), Jesus sums up the parable by stating:

29 For the one who has (the trustworthy servants) will be given more, until he overflows with abundance. And the one with hardly anything (the servant without revelation of Who His Master really is), even what little he has will be taken from him.

In Mark chapter 4, Jesus spoke:

28 All by itself it sprouts, and the soil produces a crop; first the green stem, then the head on the stalk, and then the fully developed grain in the head.

Compare this to what Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Romans chapter 12:

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.

Green stem            good

Head on the stalk  acceptable

Grain in the head  perfect

Without the grain coming forth, there is no fruitfulness from the seed.  There is a growth process that cannot be circumvented if you want to produce sustained fruitfulness and blessing in your life.

In order to produce good fruit, we need to have a good root system which is not immediately observable.  We must be willing to be patient and not expect our seed to produce observable results before its time. 

As I become rooted in The Word to a greater degree, fresh revelation comes to me directly in my prayer time.  I don’t have to rely totally on others like I did when I was immature.  Does that mean that I should disregard the teachings of other ministries now?  Not in the least. 

I desire to hear revelation from all facets of FATHER’S ministry here on earth.  I thank Our Heavenly Father for those who have ministered to me and my family in the past.  One man or woman does not have all the revelation thus we need each other’s giftings in order for the Body of Christ to come into full maturity. As Paul states by The Holy Spirit in 1 Corinthians chapter 3:

5 Who is Apollos, really? Or who is Paul? Aren’t we both just servants through whom you believed our message? Aren’t each of us doing the ministry the Lord has assigned to us? 6 I planted the church, and Apollos came and cared for it, but it was God who caused it to grow. 7 This means the one who plants is not anybody special, nor the one who waters, for God is the One who brings the supernatural growth.

FATHER wants us to grow in a supernatural manner.  We must change and remove the mindset associated with limitation.  As we do and are led by The Holy Spirit, the door will be fully opened and we will step through it to the fullness FATHER has for us.

As Jesus stated 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.”

Yesterday, we made our latest monthly distribution to the impoverished kids. We were able to increase our distribution by 1/3 over the same month last year. That is exciting!

FATHER makes a record of the cheerful givers and we have set the stage for further sowing and reaping into the Kingdom. HE is pleased with those of us who take care of those kids in need. 100% of your giving goes to help these kids. Servias has minimal expenses and my wife and I gladly cover those expenses by giving above our monthly tithe. After all, it is all about Love.

Once we are fully rooted and grounded in Agape Love, we will no longer limit FATHER and HIS blessings in our lives.  It is written by The Holy Spirit in Psalm 78:

1  Beloved ones, listen to this instruction.

    Open your heart to the revelation

    of this mystery that I share with you.

2 A parable and a proverb are hidden in what I say—

    an intriguing riddle from the past.

3–4 We’ve heard true stories from our fathers about our rich heritage.

    We will continue to tell our children

    and not hide from the rising generation

    the great marvels of our God—

    His miracles and power that have brought us all this far.

5 The story of Israel is a lesson in God’s ways.

    He established decrees for Jacob and established the law in Israel,

    and He commanded our forefathers to teach them to their children.

6 For perpetuity God’s ways will be passed down

    from one generation to the next, even to those not yet born.

7 In this way, every generation will set its hope in God

    and not forget His wonderful works but keep His commandments.

8 By following His ways they will break the past bondage

    of their fickle fathers, who were a stubborn, rebellious generation

    and whose spirits strayed from the eternal God.

    They refused to Love Him with all their hearts.

The first issue revealed in this psalm has to do with the lack of Love on the part of the people.  If you fail to pursue the fullness and revelation of Agape Love, you will limit your relationship with Our Heavenly Father.

10 They didn’t really believe the promises of God;

    they refused to trust Him and move forward in faith.

11 They forgot His wonderful works and the miracles of the past,

Without the revelation of Love, the people walked in unbelief and lack of trust.  With this mindset, they were unable to move forward in faith.  There are times when we need to recount the miracles of God in our past.  The children of Israel failed to do so and suffered from their forgetfulness.

12 even their exodus from Egypt, the epic miracle of his might.

    They forgot the glories of his power at the place of passing over.

13 God split the sea wide open, and

    the waters stood at attention on either side

    as the people passed on through!

14 By day the moving glory-cloud led them forward.

    And all through the night the fire-cloud stood as a sentry of light.

15–16 In the days of desert dryness, He split open the mighty rock,

    and the waters flowed like a river before their very eyes.

    He gave them all they wanted to drink from his living springs.

What was their response to FATHER’S constant deliverance?  They had just been delivered from the bondage of Egypt and from the pursuit of Egypt’s army.

19–20 Like spoiled children they grumbled against God,

    demanding He prove His Love by saying,

    “Can’t God provide for us in this barren wilderness?

    Will He give us food, or will He only give us water?

    Where’s our meal?”

21 Then God heard all their complaining and was furious!

    His anger flared up against his people.

22 For they turned away from faith and walked away in fear;

    they failed to trust in His power to save them when He was near.

How many believers act like spoiled children and perpetuate their self-centeredness?  How many hold back when they have the ability to give and be a blessing to others?  How many hoard assets in storage and then throw it all away fifteen years later while those in need do without?  We can understand why FATHER would be furious with them.  Some people are just unwilling to grow up and walk in maturity for they are blinded by their own mindset of fear and greed.

Yet FATHER in HIS great mercy:

23–24 Still he spoke on their behalf, and the skies opened up;

    the windows of heaven poured out food,

    the mercy bread-manna.

    The grain of grace fell from the clouds.

25 Humans ate angels’ food—the meal of the mighty ones.[d]

    His grace gave them more than enough!

26–27 The heavenly winds of miracle power blew in their favor,

    and food rained down upon them;

    succulent quail quieted their hunger as they ate all they wanted.

28 Food fell from the skies, thick as clouds;

    their provision floated down right in front of their eyes!

29 He gave them all they desired, and they ate to their fill.

Yet in spite of all His acts, they kept right on sinning.  Even when they saw God’s marvels, they refused to believe God could care for them.  When He cared for them they ignored Him.

Amazingly, God—so full of compassion—still forgave them and He covered over their sins with His Love and He showed them mercy.

41 Again and again they limited God, preventing Him from blessing them.

    Continually they turned back from Him

    and provoked the Holy One of Israel!

42 They forgot His great Love, how He took them by His hand,

    and with redemption’s kiss He delivered them from their enemies.

43 They disregarded all the epic signs and marvels they saw

    when they escaped from Egypt’s bondage.

    They forgot the judgment of the plagues that set them free.

We must not forget FATHER’S wondrous acts in the past which have delivered us from sin and sickness.  We must not limit FATHER by our mindset and narrow thinking.  FATHER promised us abundance yet most fail to pursue HIS abundance or their pursuit is tainted by selfish motivations.  Agape Love wants to expand blessings to all mankind.  Isn’t this what spreading the Gospel is all about?

When I tithe, I take off the limitations of blessing.  When I don’t, limitation occurs.  I have seen this Truth confirmed in my own life over the years.  I have experienced FATHER eliminating my debt in a supernatural fashion.  I have experienced supernatural deliverance from disease and death. 

There are those who don’t want to hear about giving yet how can I be silent when this Truth prevails in my life!  I am a living testimony of the Goodness of Our Heavenly Father.  I am no more exceptional than anyone who reads these words.  I simply Love, trust, and rely on FATHER, My Lord Jesus, and The Holy Spirit for my existence AND my future.  HIS Word works thus I share ITS fruitfulness and I am determined not to make the same mistakes which are recorded in this Psalm.

It is written by THE SPIRIT in Joshua chapter 1:

8 This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success. 9 Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go.

Good success takes time and focus.  As you and I meditate on The Word, whether written or imparted by The Holy Spirit, It becomes part of us and manifests as good fruit.

Jesus spoke in Mark chapter 4:

28 For the earth bringeth forth fruit of herself (automatically); first the blade, then the ear, after that the full corn in the ear.  KJV

28 All by itself it sprouts, and the soil produces a crop; first the green stem, then the head on the stalk, and then the fully developed grain in the head.  TPT

A seed does not need our help in producing fruit.  Given this Truth, you only need to look at one’s fruit to see where the heart is focused.  If death and destruction are the primary fruit, then one is being carnally-minded.  If life and abundance are the observable fruit, then good seed was sown by the spiritually-minded person.  Each of us is meant to judge his or her own fruit and make needed adjustments.

Every living thing is fundamentally reproduced by seed.

We must protect our hearts from those who would dump their “seed” into our hearts.  They may be speaking toxic words which will produce toxic results.  Yes, “we become like the company we keep” is based on this reality.  Words of fear and failure will always bring forth death and destruction.

Conversely, Jesus spoke in John chapter 10:

10 The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.

Who are you going to listen to and meditate on?  This Truth is at the center of why I so strongly advocate praying in THE SPIRIT every morning.  It changes me for the good.  My outlook improves.  My faith increases.  The list goes on.

Your heart does not discriminate whether the seed planted is good or bad, nor does it consider who planted it.  This is why children are vulnerable to words spoken over them by adults.  This also provides understanding why some curses are handed down from generation to generation.  The adversary wants to keep us enslaved by wrong mindsets whereas Jesus’ Words will set the captives free.

Wisdom spoke in Proverbs chapter 4:

23 Guard your heart above all else,

for it determines the course of your life.

We must be careful concerning what seed we allow to be planted in our hearts.  We need to quit limiting FATHER by dwelling on the negative reports from the world.  Our mindsets need to change and we need to expect life and abundance.  Jesus would not have stated this Truth if He didn’t mean it.  When you challenge this Truth, you have told yourself that you don’t really believe the Words of Jesus.

People will try to analyze away Truths that don’t agree with their soulish mindsets.  That needs to cease.  The Word needs to be established in our hearts just as we need to be rooted and grounded in Agape Love.  We need to quit limiting FATHER and HIS blessings in our lives.
