Fulfilling Your Calling

November 4th, 2020

You and I are called to make history and we are meant to walk out our callings thus fulfilling our parts of the Body of Christ.  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.

There is such pressure originating with the enemy to be conformed to the world and its motives.  The primary forces are fear and greed.  We are in the midst of the fear cycle as I write this morning.  Is any virus greater than FATHER’S healing power?  Did Jesus heal everyone except those with a virus?  Then, what is the issue?

I believe the primary issue in its most subtle form is “self-centeredness”.  It is in direct opposition to Agape Love.  The selfish person always begins his or her thought process with “What’s in it for me?” whereas the one who walks in Agape Love begins with “What can I do to help?”  The selfish person is motivated by fear of scarcity and the Loving person is motivated by faith and trust in FATHER to provide the resources required to walk in righteousness and Holiness.

The Holy Spirit continues through His faithful servant Paul:

3 God has given me grace to speak a warning about pride. I would ask each of you to be emptied of self-promotion and not create a false image of your importance. Instead, honestly assess your worth by using your God-given faith as the standard of measurement, and then you will see your true value with an appropriate self-esteem.

4 In the human body there are many parts and organs, each with a unique function. 5 And so it is in the body of Christ. For though we are many, we’ve all been mingled into one body in Christ. This means that we are all vitally joined to one another, with each contributing to the others.

6 God’s marvelous grace imparts to each one of us varying gifts and ministries that are uniquely ours. So if God has given you the grace-gift of prophecy, you must activate your gift by using the proportion of faith you have to prophesy. 7 If your grace-gift is serving, then thrive in serving others well. If you have the grace-gift of teaching, then be actively teaching and training others. 8 If you have the grace-gift of encouragement, then use it often to encourage others. If you have the grace-gift of giving to meet the needs of others, then may you prosper in your generosity without any fanfare. If you have the gift of leadership, be passionate about your leadership. And if you have the gift of showing compassion, then flourish in your cheerful display of compassion.

Each of us has an important gift meant to build up the Body of Christ and minister life to those around us who are headed toward death and destruction.  This applies to the community we live in.  As the Kingdom of GOD is expanded, the community will flourish with life and lawfulness.  Blessings will come forth and the community will reflect life.

Every commandment of FATHER is meant to lead, guide, and/or correct.  They are all meant to promote and sustain life.  Agape Love is the encapsulation of all the other commandments and this is why Servias consistently focuses on this particular commandment.  Jesus did thus I do… and so should you.

Walking in this commandment requires a daily assessment.  This is one aspect of renewing our minds and we should constantly be making adjustments when The Holy Spirit convicts us of even the most minor thought, act, or word which did not promote life. 

We must be sensitive to The Holy Spirit in order to come to full maturity as a Son or Daughter.  Never lose this focus else you are headed to lukewarmness.  Maintaining this sensitivity will assure you of fulfilling your calling.

Today Is Critical

November 3rd, 2020

Of any day to pray this prayer, today is critical for the unborn children, in Matthew chapter 6, Jesus spoke:

​​Our Father in Heaven,

​​Hallowed be Your Name.

10 ​​Your Kingdom come.

​​Your Will be done

​​On earth as it is in Heaven.

11 ​​Give us this day our daily bread.

12 ​​And forgive us our debts,

​​As we forgive our debtors.

13 ​​And do not lead us into temptation,

​​But deliver us from the evil one.

​​For Yours is the Kingdom and the power and the Glory forever. Amen

The Treasury Has Been Opened

November 2nd, 2020

FATHER spoke in Deuteronomy chapter 28:

12 The LORD will open to you his good treasury, the heavens, to give the rain to your land in its season and to bless all the work of your hands. And you shall lend to many nations, but you shall not borrow.

FATHER spoke to me on Friday morning, October 30th, and said “Open the Treasury and release the funds to help the impoverished families”.

Some of you may know that we were led to take a census back in 2013.  Each person who desired to be included was to send a silver coin of any size to us.  One such blog:  http://www.servias.org/?p=2097

We provided one ounce silver coins for those who wanted to be included but did not have the means to send a coin.  The census ended on September 14th, 2013.

Since then, I have stored those 532 silver coins under lock and key in the “Treasury” awaiting FATHER’S instructions.  So for the last 7 years, 1 month, and 16 days, those coins have been in “safekeeping”.  Now is the time that the Treasury has been opened.

We will be converting a certain number of those coins to cash to be distributed to those in need.  FATHER has yet to tell me what portion to convert.

I suggest you pray concerning the above passage since the Treasury has been “unlocked” and opened for the Sons and Daughters to access.

Lukewarmness has no place

October 31st, 2020

We are in the midst of spiritual warfare at this time in history, possibly one of the greatest times in history.  I am firmly convinced that the revealing of FATHER through HIS Sons and Daughters is at hand and we need to be fully prepared to step into that fullness now.

Past moves of THE SPIRIT were all in preparation for a time such as this.  About seventy years ago there was a move where the gifts of The Holy Spirit were so pronounced that many thought it was the final move before Jesus’ return.  However, those involved allowed themselves to be deceived by their own minds and thwart the move.  They exalted themselves rather than remain servants to those in need.  We must not make the same mistakes.

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in 1 Corinthians chapter 14:

2 For it is through the revelation of the gospel that you are being saved, if you fasten your life firmly to the message I’ve taught you, unless you have believed in vain. 3 For I have shared with you what I have received and what is of utmost importance:

The Messiah died for our sins,

    fulfilling the prophecies of the Scriptures.

4 He was buried in a tomb

    and was raised from the dead after three days,

    as foretold in the Scriptures.

5 Then he appeared to Peter the Rock

    and to the twelve apostles.

6 He also appeared to more than five hundred of his followers at the same time, most of whom are still alive as I write this, though a few have passed away. 7 Then he appeared to Jacob and to all the apostles. 8 Last of all he appeared in front of me, like one born prematurely, ripped from the womb.

Paul testifies of Jesus’ resurrection among many brethren.  What more do we need to understand the importance of The Gospel which is meant to be preached throughout the earth.  All the various prophets’ bodies remain in their “tombs” yet Jesus continues to minister today and has appeared to many even as I write.

Lukewarmness has no place among us.  Paul was fervent to spread The Gospel and do the acts of Love.  We should be as well.  There are no “U-Hauls” in Heaven so we don’t need to focus on the temporary possessions acquired on earth.  Let us instead focus on the riches in Heaven. 

It does not matter that we have allowed inactivity to grip us in the past because FATHER can redeem that lost time and redirect us to The Highway of Holiness in a supernatural manner.  Enoch began to walk with GOD at the age of sixty-five.  It is never too late.  Neither was it too late for Paul after he had persecuted believers as an enemy of Christ:

9 Yes, I am the most insignificant of all the apostles, unworthy even to be called an apostle, because I hunted down believers and persecuted God’s church. 10 But God’s amazing grace has made me who I am! And his grace to me was not fruitless. In fact, I worked harder than all the rest, yet not in my own strength but God’s, for his empowering grace is poured out upon me. 11 So this is what we all have taught you, and whether it was through me or someone else, you have now believed the gospel.

FATHER has been preparing us for this time.  Multiple times HE has spoken to me “Now is the time!” and I have relayed that message to you.  Are you one of the five wise virgins or one of the foolish virgins?  All I can say is be prepared and maintain a life of praying in The Holy Spirit so your lamps will be “trimmed”.

We must be solely motivated by Agape Love and have no personal agenda or motive.  Much of what we do will be without fanfare or acknowledgment by the world.  Paul saw himself as the most insignificant of all the apostles yet FATHER used him to write 2/3 of the New Testament.  It is all about Jesus Christ and The Gospel.  It is time to act and promote life!

Smith Wigglesworth Quote

October 30th, 2020

Smith Wigglesworth is quoted as saying:

Smith largely believed his ministerial success was due to his speaking in tongues. He said:

I want you to see that he that speaketh in an unknown tongue edifieth himself or builds himself up. We must be edified before we can edify the church. I cannot estimate what I, personally, owe to the Holy Ghost method of spiritual edification. I am here before you as one of the biggest conundrums in the world. There never was a weaker man on the platform. Language? None. Inability–full of it. All natural things in my life point exactly opposite to my being able to stand on the platform and preach the gospel. The secret is that the Holy Ghost came and brought this wonderful edification of the Spirit. I had been reading this Word continually as well as I could, but the Holy Ghost came and took hold of it, for the Holy Ghost is the breath of it, and He illuminated it to me.”

It is that simple!

Living Sacrifices

October 29th, 2020

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Romans chapter 12:

12 Beloved friends, what should be our proper response to God’s marvelous mercies? I encourage you to surrender yourselves to God to be HIS Sacred, living sacrifices. And live in Holiness, experiencing all that delights HIS Heart. For this becomes your genuine expression of worship.

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.

I want to delight FATHER’S Heart and I trust you do too!  However, it takes sacrifice and I have no problem in sacrificing whatever The Holy Spirit leads me to do.  The key is to respond to The Holy Spirit and present myself daily to Him for instruction and revelation.

I ask The Holy Spirit to wake me up each morning according to His schedule, not mine.  When He awakens me earlier than usual, I know that there is something important for Him to show me.  I resist not.

Paul also wrote by The Holy Spirit in Ephesians chapter 5:

5 Be imitators of God in everything you do, for then you will represent Your Father as HIS Beloved Sons and Daughters. 2 And continue to walk surrendered to the extravagant Love of Christ, for He surrendered his life as a Sacrifice for us. His great Love for us was pleasing to God, like an aroma of adoration—a sweet healing fragrance.

When we fully submit to The Holy Spirit, we experience joy and gratefulness for each day no matter what circumstances confront us.  We are no longer moved by what the world is showing us for we know FATHER’S Heart and we will navigate through this broken world.

The world will resist our walks and places mountains before us as we walk in Agape Love, faith, and hope.  Jesus instructed us concerning the mountains in Mark chapter 11:

22 Jesus replied, “Let the faith of God be in you! 23 Listen to the Truth I speak to you: If someone says to this mountain with great faith and having no 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—believe that you have received it and it will be yours.”

A mountain is often used to describe a kingdom.  We are to overcome the worldly kingdom in all of its aspects by operating in the power and authority of FATHER’S Kingdom which we are instructed to bring forth on this earth.  This is a priority of The Holy Spirit thus I believe it is critical to pray in The Holy Spirit constantly in order to immerse myself in FATHER’S Perfect Plan, Will, and Purpose.  Jesus said “Listen to the Truth I speak to you.”  We should focus on this in order to bring forth FATHER’S Kingdom of Holiness.

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in 1 Corinthians chapter 14:

18 I give thanks to God that I speak in tongues more than all of you, 19 but in the church setting I would rather speak five words that can be understood than ten thousand exotic words in a tongue. That way I could have a role in teaching others.

When alone with FATHER, Paul consistently prayed in Tongues.  When teaching, he spoke to others with words they could understand.  Shouldn’t we follow his example?

When I listen to The Holy Spirit, my mind is being transformed to FATHER’S thoughts rather than the world’s thoughts.  I abandon the world’s ways and opinions for they are worthless and have no benefit whatsoever.  The adversary wants you and me to remain in deception rather than walk in The Light of The Gospel.  However, that deception is being increasingly exposed on all fronts.

We are meant to be living sacrifices, pleasing to FATHER for it is HIS delight!  It delights me as well.

HE Will Direct Our Paths

October 28th, 2020

Wisdom recorded in Proverbs chapter 3:

5 ​​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.

As we acknowledge FATHER in all that we do, HE will direct our footsteps.  We don’t have to wait until HE gives us a specific directive but we need to simply do HIS will in all that we do and HE will lead us into HIS perfect plan.  We are not meant to sit around and wait on a “Word”.

It is written by The Holy Spirit in Psalm 139:

1 Lord, YOU know everything there is to know about me.

2 YOU perceive every movement of my heart and soul,

and YOU understand my every thought before it even enters my mind.

3–4 YOU are so intimately aware of me, Lord.

YOU read my heart like an open book

and YOU know all the words I’m about to speak

before I even start a sentence!

You know every step I will take before my journey even begins.

5 YOU’VE gone into my future to prepare the way,

and in kindness YOU follow behind me

to spare me from the harm of my past.

With YOUR hand of Love upon my life,

YOU impart a blessing to me.

None of us leads a life independent of FATHER’S knowledge and view.  None of us can claim to take steps that FATHER would not be aware of thus there is no such thing as HIS permissive Will.  You are either in HIS Will or out of HIS Will.

Our responsibility is to seek HIS Will in all things and I assure you that the only way to do that is through Jesus Christ and being led by The Holy Spirit.  This is a broken world thus we will suffer delays, challenges, apparent failures, and other trials.  FATHER didn’t cause those but Jesus instructed us to say to the “mountain” be thou removed!

Yes, mountains will arise in our walk but we are to overcome those mountains as directed by The Holy Spirit and each time will be unique to the circumstances.  Do not try to create a formula which is an indication that the mind wants to supersede THE SPIRIT.

FATHER will have a different path for each situation so that we will be able to see HIS Way when confronted with obstacles.  Circumstances change the situation and HE has anticipated every challenge we face.  HIS Divine Intent will not be denied to those who walk according to HIS SPIRIT.

The Word makes it very clear what HIS Will is when conducting our daily affairs.  In essence, It is a roadmap for us to follow along with specifics given to us by HIS Spirit.  There are many way to end up at the proper destination and The Holy Spirit will provide the best route to take each time we are given alternatives.

We must walk out HIS Will and not just sit around doing nothing.  I don’t need a “Word” to give to the poor for we are given the directive to do so.  Let us be active in doing FATHER’S Will!

Pro-Life

October 27th, 2020

Luke wrote by The Holy Spirit in chapter 1:

39 Now Mary arose in those days and went into the hill country with haste, to a city of Judah, 40 and entered the house of Zacharias and greeted Elizabeth. 41 And it happened, when Elizabeth heard the greeting of Mary, that the babe leaped in her womb; and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit. 42 Then she spoke out with a loud voice and said, “Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb! 43 But why is this granted to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me? 44 For indeed, as soon as the voice of your greeting sounded in my ears, the babe leaped in my womb for joy. 45 Blessed is she who believed, for there will be a fulfillment of those things which were told her from the Lord.”

We need to ponder this passage and come to the realization that the unborn child is fully responsive in the womb as well as out of the womb.  John immediately responded to Mary’s voice.  This alone indicates the independence of an unborn child.

Abortionists want us to believe that these children are inanimate objects and have no spirits or souls until birth.  What a lie!

Our Heavenly Father is “pro-life” and we should be too.  If a country continues to kill its unborn children, it will suffer the judgment of GOD in no uncertain terms.

If you do not vote pro-life for those candidates who support FATHER’S view then you are effectively supporting the killing of children.  Thankfully Elizabeth was “pro-life”, preparing John to lead the way for Jesus to begin His ministry.

Ignorance is no longer an acceptable excuse and bypassing the above passage will not change the Truth!   Support life.

Psalm 139:

16 You saw who you created me to be before I became me!

Before I’d ever seen the light of day,

the number of days YOU planned for me

were already recorded in YOUR book.

Thank You!

October 26th, 2020

As we prepare to make another monthly distribution to the impoverished kids, we want to thank all those who are able to give into this ministry. I can think of no better seed to plant than to help those who cannot help themselves, especially these kids. FATHER has a special place in HIS Heart for children… including the unborn.

At the end of the day, it is all about Love. Thanks again!

Our Willingness And Obedience

October 25th, 2020

In order for me to do FATHER’S Will, I must hear, understand, and yield to HIM.

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

18 This charge I commit to you, son Timothy, according to the prophecies previously made concerning you, that by them you may wage the good warfare, 19 having faith and a good conscience, which some having rejected, concerning the faith have suffered shipwreck

FATHER’S Perfect Will for you and me requires us to wage war against the adversary who seeks to derail our individual callings.  The enemy wants us to be passive and effectively do nothing resulting in suffering shipwreck.

Doing the Will of FATHER is not effortless.  We must submit to FATHER and actively resist the devil.  We must be diligent in all areas of our life and obedient to The Holy Spirit’s directives.

Walking in FATHER’S Will is planned but we have a part to play in It’s fulfillment.  FATHER spoke through Isaiah in chapter 1:

16 ​​“Wash yourselves, make yourselves clean;

​​Put away the evil of your doings from before My eyes.

​​Cease to do evil,

17 ​​Learn to do good;

​​Seek justice,

​​Rebuke the oppressor;

​​Defend the fatherless,

​​Plead for the widow.

18 ​​“Come now, and let us reason together,”

​​Says the LORD,

​​“Though your sins are like scarlet,

​​They shall be as white as snow;

​​Though they are red like crimson,

​​They shall be as wool.

19 ​​If you are willing and obedient,

​​You shall eat the good of the land”

In order for us to help impoverished kids, the fatherless, and the widows, we must be both willing and obedient.  Each month when my wife and I give into Servias, we seek FATHER to instruct us on what to give.  We then submit to HIM and give that amount. 

Over the years, I have been tested many times about my willingness to give certain amounts into HIS Works here on earth.  Many times it stretched my faith but in each instance, HE provided for us and blessed us accordingly.  I no longer have resistance to HIS guidance and my faith is operating at a higher level… thankfully.

If FATHER’S Will is going to be done on earth, It will happen through HIS Sons and Daughters.  We are the ones who are called to bring forth Heaven to earth so we must maintain a life of willingness and obedience to HIS directives.  We must become diligent in doing good all the time.  We are meant to pursue excellence in our gifts and callings.  This requires discipline.  Both discipline and obedience are facets of Agape Love.

When you do FATHER’S Will it will likely require sacrifice and sometimes discomfort.  It may also seem “inconvenient” to your soul.  There are times when obedience is tested by redirecting your steps and postponing your plan for the day.  HIS plan is dynamic and requires us to be agile in our responses to The Holy Spirit.  The world is broken and people are making decisions affecting the outcome so we must be ready to respond to those decisions.

As The Holy Spirit stated: “according to the prophecies previously made concerning you, that by them you may wage the good warfare”.  Many have promoted the doctrine that a prophecy from Heaven in unconditional and we simply sit back and wait for it to happen.  Not true or Paul would not have mentioned the requirement for waging warfare.  Our faith is required when we are given a Word concerning our future and it will require a commitment on our part.

Paul also wrote by The Holy Spirit in chapter 6:

11 But you, O man of God, flee these things and pursue righteousness, Godliness, faith, Love, patience, gentleness. 12 Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, to which you were also called and have confessed the good confession in the presence of many witnesses.

The word “pursue” is an action verb so let us be active in the pursuit of our individual callings as we respond daily to the leading of The Holy Spirit!
