From Heaven To Earth

October 4th, 2020

Are you currently dealing with an area of weakness, frustration, or lack of fruitfulness?  Healing, relationships, and finances seem to top the list with most of us.  Some may be dealing with just one area whereas others are dealing with several.  What is the solution?  The only sure solution is found in Heaven and it is up to each of us to pull the solution out of Heaven and bring it to the earth.  This can be challenging depending on where you are at in your walk.

In Matthew chapter 6, Jesus instructed us how to pray resulting in bringing Heaven’s solutions to earth:

5 “Whenever you pray, be sincere and not like the pretenders who love the attention they receive while praying before others in the meetings and on street corners. Believe Me, they’ve already received in full their reward. 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 those who don’t know God, 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 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 fulfilled in Heaven.

11 We acknowledge YOU as our Provider

    of all we need each day.

12 Forgive us the wrongs we have done as we ourselves

    release forgiveness to those who have wronged us.

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.

Are there questions in Heaven?  No.  Is there sickness or disease in Heaven?  Again, no.  Is there lack in Heaven?  None to be found.  Jesus instructed us to pray the “substance” of Heaven to earth whether it be healing, finances, or solutions to other issues we are facing.  There are no exceptions even though men through their worldly reasoning would have us believe there are.

We are to bring the nature and resources of Heaven to earth in all areas, none are excluded.  There are no “but’s” or list of exceptions.

How often are we to set such an expectation?  “This day or each day” means daily, not occasionally.  Jesus implies here that we are to be diligent in this regard.  It is written by The Holy Spirit in Hebrews chapter 11:

6 But without faith it is impossible to please HIM, for he who comes to GOD must believe that HE is, and that HE is a Rewarder of those who diligently seek HIM.

If FATHER rewards, then there must be some type of reward system.  HE rewards us based on our faith and our diligence.  Some would argue that FATHER is no respecter of persons (Acts 10:34 KJV).  These words spoken by Peter referenced salvation of nations, not blessings to believers.  Oh how men try to rationalize their failure in receiving the benefits from FATHER!

What is diligence?  It is “careful and persistent work or effort”.  Is there a time restriction to being diligent?  No.  If you need to be healed, you must walk in faith by diligently seeking FATHER in the area of healing.  It must become a revelation in your heart, not just your head.  You must immerse yourself in FATHER’S promises to the point where The Word explodes in your heart and your healing is fulfilled.

How do I know?  I have had to go through this specific process myself to the point where I will not be denied of FATHER’S reward.  My sickness was life-threatening so I relied on the fact there were no exclusions in Jesus’ commitment to being Our Healer. 

When you need healing, what else matters?  Is there any greater priority?  As for me, FATHER instructed me to immerse myself in HIS Word throughout each day.  I did so until my healing was fully manifested.  Am I special or unique?  Absolutely not, my wife can attest to that.  I was simply diligent in what I was instructed to do.  We must be tenacious and not be denied for this is what great faith requires.

Your Words Will Be Judged

October 3rd, 2020

In Matthew chapter 12, Jesus spoke:

33 “You must determine if a tree is good or rotten. You can recognize good trees by their delicious fruit. But if you find rotten fruit, you can be certain that the tree is rotten. The fruit defines the tree. 34 But you who are known as the Pharisees are rotten to the core! You’ve been poisoned by the nature of a venomous snake. How can your words be good and trustworthy if you are rotten within? For what has been stored up in your hearts will be heard in the overflow of your words!

35 “When virtue is stored within, the hearts of good and upright people will produce good fruit. But when evil is hidden within, those who are evil will produce evil fruit. 36 You can be sure of this: when the day of judgment comes, everyone will be held accountable for every careless word he has spoken. 37 Your very words will be used as evidence against you, and your words will declare you either innocent or guilty.”

There is so much false rhetoric being thrown around… the lies abound.  People simply don’t realize that there are consequences to their words.  Can you imagine FATHER joking around or misleading us given the power of HIS Words?  Once you realize the potential of your words, you begin to watch over them in a much greater way.

Your trustworthiness is measured by your words.  If we are to mature as Sons of GOD, we must produce good fruit at all times and not allow ourselves to be swept into the abundance of lies being spewed out by those who are of the adversary.

Can you imagine being described as “rotten to the core” by the Son of GOD Who only speaks what He hears from FATHER?  How about a venomous snake?  Religion attacked revelation in an attempt to maintain power and control yet it totally backfired when the Pharisees sent Jesus to the cross.

When Jesus spoke of judgment for your careless words, He meant it!  We must focus on words of life and restoration thus we must become disciplined in our communication and watch over our words in a consistent fashion.  In order to do this, we should immerse ourselves in prayer and meditation on The Word.

When The Word becomes more alive than the temporal world around you, you will achieve total peace in these tumultuous times.  You will not walk in fear but instead you will walk in perfect Love.  We must not allow ourselves to be disqualified by allowing those around us to prick our emotions and move us into a debate over current worldly issues.  Opinions don’t matter, on the Truth matters.

The adversary wants to retain control over this world.  He can’t do it himself so he will use those who are willing to sell themselves to him though they have no clue of the ramifications of such a decision.  They have given themselves over to worldly desires.  The Beloved Disciple wrote by The Holy Spirit in 1 John chapter 2:

15 Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the Love of THE FATHER is not in him. 16 For all that is in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—is not of the Father but is of the world. 17 And the world is passing away, and the lust of it; but he who does the will of GOD abides forever.

Each day is full of decisions large and small.  As we become more like Our Elder Brother, Our words will originate from The Holy Spirit and our walk will reflect FATHER’S Divine Intent without variation. 

Repent daily of any unrighteousness and ask FATHER to help you in all you say and do.  FATHER is pleased with those Sons and Daughters who seek to do HIS perfect Will and who properly represent HIM to the world.

Another Testimony

October 2nd, 2020

This just came in from one of the local teachers:  Her student, Y*** is from Guatemala.  She and her family spent 2 years being held up in customs in their migration here.  In that process, her father died.  She has an unbelievable story, and we’re grateful to have her in my class.

Good day:

I thank you for supporting my family by donating 2 gift cards to us.  They were very helpful to my family.  We were able to buy food for all of us and school supplies for my daughter, Y***.  

I thank God in our prayers for the generosity of the persons who made this donation.  May God Bless You.

A thousand thanks,  The Cha****-Mol**** Family

Walk In Discipline and Obedience

October 1st, 2020

Peter wrote by The Holy Spirit in his 2nd epistle chapter 1:

5 So devote yourselves to lavishly supplementing your faith with goodness,

and to goodness add understanding,

6 and to understanding add the strength of self-control,

and to self-control add patient endurance,

and to patient endurance add godliness,

7 and to godliness add mercy toward your brothers and sisters,

and to mercy toward others add unending Love.

8 Since these virtues are already planted deep within, and you possess them in abundant supply, they will keep you from being inactive or fruitless in your pursuit of knowing Jesus Christ more intimately. 9 But if anyone lacks these things, he is blind, constantly closing his eyes to the mysteries of our faith, and forgetting his innocence—for his past sins have been washed away.

10 For this reason, beloved ones, be eager to confirm and validate that God has invited you to salvation and claimed you as HIS own. If you do these things, you will never stumble. 11 As a result, the kingdom’s gates will open wide to you as God choreographs your triumphant entrance into the eternal Kingdom of Our Lord and Savior, Jesus the Messiah.

The only reason a person does not walk in the fruitfulness of the above virtues is due to his or her blindness which forgetfulness.  We must never lose focus of this Truth.

Unending Love requires discipline and obedience.  When I am instructed by The Holy Spirit to do or say something, I purpose to be timely and complete in my response.  What is usually the most difficult area for people to be obedient?  It is when you are instructed to give.  If you are not a giver, you are blind to the benefits stated by Jesus in His own Words in Luke chapter 6:

38 “Give generously and generous gifts will be given back to you, shaken down to make room for more. Abundant gifts will pour out upon you with such an overflowing measure that it will run over the top! Your measurement of generosity becomes the measurement of your return.”

If a person cannot pass the test of giving, that person will never fully mature.  I have walked according to those Words in verse 38 for decades and can attest to their validity.  FATHER is overjoyed when we respond to this most difficult area of discipline and obedience.  When we respond to HIS directives, we attack greed head on for it is the root of all evil.

I have missed it in the past?  Of course.  I do not let past failures keep me from current success.  My past failures provide a comparison for instruction.

Many in the ministry are unwilling to deal with the hardheartedness of people who will not joyfully give.  I have no problem is dealing with such an unpopular topic among believers since FATHER provides my family’s needs and desires.  I have no congregation to hold me hostage from dealing with tough topics.  Jesus also had no problem in challenging those who needed a “corrective interview”.

FATHER wants all of us to walk in HIS fullness of the above virtues.  If HE didn’t, HE would not have instructed Peter to share them for they are all attainable to those who are not blind.

Because of my education and past experience in business, people often ask my opinion about investments.  I now have no opinion or position apart from FATHER’S Word.  Simply do what HE instructs you to do and/or say and HE will guide you into prosperity in whatever form is needed to fulfill your personal requirements as well as the desires of your heart.

Agape Love requires discipline and obedience.  As a result, you will produce much good fruit and will have the means to help others.

Our Testing

September 30th, 2020

It is written by The Holy Spirit in Psalm chapter 105:

7 ​​HE is the LORD Our God;

​​HIS judgments are in all the earth.

8 ​​HE remembers HIS covenant forever,

​​The word which HE commanded, for a thousand generations,

9 ​​The covenant which HE made with Abraham,

​​And HIS oath to Isaac,

10 ​​And confirmed it to Jacob for a statute,

​​To Israel as an everlasting covenant,

11 ​​Saying, “To you I will give the land of Canaan

​​As the allotment of your inheritance,”

12 ​​When they were few in number,

​​Indeed very few, and strangers in it.

There is no variance in FATHER’S Word as HE made a covenant with Abraham, an oath to Isaac, and confirmed it to Jacob.  HE provided three witnesses to HIS commitment. 

13 ​​When they went from one nation to another,

​​From one kingdom to another people,

14 ​​HE permitted no one to do them wrong;

​​Yes, HE rebuked kings for their sakes,

15 ​​Saying, “Do not touch MY anointed ones,

​​And do MY prophets no harm.”

FATHER actively enforces HIS covenant with us as we walk according to HIS Word.  However, when we stray from HIS Divine Intent, we bring forth judgment in some form.  Since HE has given us the ability and right to choose, we are responsible for our actions and the resulting fruit- good or bad. 

This does not negate HIS Word so out of Agape Love, HE will always provide us with a way to restoration.  HIS plan may be obscure to us at the time but as we get a greater revelation of HIS Love, we will be assured of a way out of our trouble.  HE knew a famine was coming to the land and HE had been preparing Joseph for such a time.  However, Joseph needed to come to the end of himself and walk in a crucified manner as we see in the following passage:

16 ​​Moreover HE called for a famine in the land;

​​HE destroyed all the provision of bread.

17 ​​HE sent a man before them—

​​Joseph—who was sold as a slave.

18 ​​They hurt his feet with fetters,

​​He was laid in irons.

19 ​​Until the time that HIS word came to pass,

​​The word of the LORD tested him.

20 ​​The king sent and released him,

​​The ruler of the people let him go free.

21 ​​He made him lord of his house,

​​And ruler of all his possessions,

22 ​​To bind his princes at his pleasure,

​​And teach his elders wisdom.

FATHER will test those whom HE Loves so that they will mature into the fullness of their calling.  Joseph’s training lasted several years and he suffered many disappointments during that time.  However, he persevered and increased in maturity.

Joseph was tempted by the world on multiple fronts but passed the test in each case.  FATHER gave Joseph the dream concerning his future when Joseph was seventeen.  As we all know, teenagers “know it all” thus Joseph openly conveyed the dream to his brothers.  They were not pleased to hear the dream and plotted to remove their brother from their midst.   Was FATHER surprised by their plan?  Not in the least.

Later in Genesis chapter 45, Joseph revealed FATHER’S plan to his brothers:

3 Then Joseph said to his brothers, “I am Joseph; does my father still live?” But his brothers could not answer him, for they were dismayed in his presence. 4 And Joseph said to his brothers, “Please come near to me.” So they came near. Then he said: “I am Joseph your brother, whom you sold into Egypt. 5 But now, do not therefore be grieved or angry with yourselves because you sold me here; for God sent me before you to preserve life. 6 For these two years the famine has been in the land, and there are still five years in which there will be neither plowing nor harvesting. 7 And God sent me before you to preserve a posterity for you in the earth, and to save your lives by a great deliverance. 8 So now it was not you who sent me here, but God; and He has made me a father to Pharaoh, and lord of all his house, and a ruler throughout all the land of Egypt.

Joseph went through an extended time of testing in order to prepare him for his calling.  FATHER did not divulge the details of this time of testing for it would have been too much for a seventeen year old teenager to handle.

These times of testing are meant to build up our faith and remove the “chaff” in our lives.  Instead of resisting these tests, embrace them knowing that FATHER’S Love exceeds anything you or I must go through.

A Portal Of HIS Power

September 29th, 2020

The power of GOD is always present to heal and HE is always available but we don’t tap into IT, we have to yield to The Holy Spirit in order to walk in that power.  Jesus fully submitted to FATHER’S directives.  Jesus spoke in Matthew chapter 26:

36 Then Jesus led his disciples to an orchard called “The Oil Press.” He told them, “Sit here while I go and pray over there.” 37 He took Peter, Jacob, and John with Him. However, an intense feeling of great sorrow plunged His soul into deep sorrow and agony. 38 And He said to them, “My heart is overwhelmed and crushed with grief. It feels as though I’m dying. Stay here and keep watch with Me.”

39 Then He walked a short distance away, and overcome with grief, He threw himself facedown on the ground and prayed, “My Father, if there is any way You can deliver Me from this suffering, please take it from Me. Yet what I want is not important, for I only desire to fulfill YOUR plan for Me.” Then an angel from Heaven appeared to strengthen him.

How many of us have fully come to the same place?  FATHER, I only desire to fulfill YOUR plan for me!  If we truly want to fully mature according to FATHER’S plan, we must be led by The Holy Spirit… especially in our weaknesses.  Jesus was overcome with grief yet He would not submit to that grief and turn away from FATHER’S plan.

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Romans chapter 8:

21 all creation longs for freedom from its slavery to decay and to experience with us the wonderful freedom coming to GOD’s children. 22 To this day we are aware of the universal agony and groaning of creation, as if it were in the contractions of labor for childbirth. 23 And it’s not just creation. We who have already experienced the firstfruits of the Spirit also inwardly groan as we passionately long to experience our full status as GOD’s Sons and Daughters—including our physical bodies being transformed. 24 For this is the hope of our salvation.

But hope means that we must trust and wait for what is still unseen. For why would we need to hope for something we already have? 25 So because our hope is set on what is yet to be seen, we patiently keep on waiting for its fulfillment.

26 And in a similar way, the Holy Spirit takes hold of us in our human frailty to empower us in our weakness. For example, at times we don’t even know how to pray, or know the best things to ask for. But the Holy Spirit rises up within us to super-intercede on our behalf, pleading to FATHER with emotional sighs too deep for words.

27 FATHER, the searcher of the heart, knows fully our longings, yet HE also understands the desires of the Spirit, because the Holy Spirit passionately pleads before FATHER for us, his Holy ones, in perfect harmony with FATHER’S plan and our destiny.

28 So we are convinced that every detail of our lives is continually woven together to fit into FATHER’S perfect plan of bringing good into our lives, for we are HIS lovers who have been called to fulfill HIS designed purpose. 29 For HE knew all about us before we were born and HE destined us from the beginning to share the likeness of HIS Son. This means the Son is the oldest among a vast family of brothers and sisters who will become just like Him.

30 Having determined our destiny ahead of time, HE called us to HIMSELF and transferred HIS perfect righteousness to everyone HE called. And those who possess HIS perfect righteousness HE co-glorified with HIS Son!

As we submit to the Holy Spirit and pray in “Tongues”, FATHER enlightens our understanding in the areas of our weakness and we are brought into HIS destined plan to share the likeness of HIS Son in all areas.  This is when we begin to flow in the power which is present to heal and deliver.

Paul also wrote by THE SPIRIT in 2 Corinthians chapter 12:

7 The extraordinary level of the revelations I’ve received is no reason for anyone to exalt me. For this is why a thorn in my flesh was given to me, the Adversary’s messenger sent to harass me, keeping me from becoming arrogant. 8 Three times I pleaded with the Lord to relieve me of this. 9 But HE answered me, “MY grace is always more than enough for you, and MY power finds Its full expression through your weakness.” So I will celebrate my weaknesses, for when I’m weak I sense more deeply the mighty power of Christ living in me. 10 So I’m not defeated by my weakness, but delighted! For when I feel my weakness and endure mistreatment—when I’m surrounded with troubles on every side and face persecution because of my Love for Christ—I am made yet stronger. For my weakness becomes a portal to GOD’S power.

Are you ready to become a portal for GOD’S power?

More Testimonies Of Your Giving

September 28th, 2020

We continue to help impoverished kids with 100% of your tithes and contributions.  Since they cannot repay the assistance, FATHER takes on that responsibility and you cannot out-give Our Heavenly Father.

A new comment provided to us:

Hi, I am so grateful for your generosity and kindness towards my family.  We were struggling, and the gift cards came at just the right time.  We were able to put food on the table and get some new shoes for my children to start school in.  It was such a relief to have that need met.  Thank you so much for your thoughtfulness.  My family was blessed. Thanks You,

Another comment just received:

We had a student on our backpack food program who came to school with shoes falling apart.  The sole of one of the shoes was almost completely falling off and was dangerous for the child to wear.  We knew the family could not afford to run out and buy new shoes easily.  However, we were able to use some of the money donated to quickly purchase two new pairs of shoes for the student within two days.  The student was very excited to get new shoes. 

We also have many students needing snacks every day.  Since we are not able to share snacks as easily this year due to Covid, keeping a stock of snacks has helped make sure students are taken care of. 

What a blessing!!!

PS: FATHER is keeping a record of our acts of Agape Love toward these kids.

The Handicapped Woman

September 28th, 2020

When Jesus spoke, He transferred the reality of Heaven to earth.  This is why we need to focus on the Words of Jesus and The Holy Spirit.

Luke (the “physician”) recorded by The Holy Spirit in chapter 13:

10 One Sabbath day, while Jesus was teaching in the synagogue, 11 He encountered a seriously handicapped woman. She was crippled and had been doubled over for eighteen years. Her condition was caused by a demonic spirit of bondage that had left her unable to stand up straight.

12–13 When Jesus saw her condition, He called her over and gently laid his hands on her. Then He said, “Dear woman, you are free. I release you forever from this crippling spirit.” Instantly she stood straight and tall and overflowed with glorious praise to God!

Jesus Loved this woman and was quick to release her from the demon who had plagued her for eighteen long years.  Where did He find her?  In the synagogue.  I am sure she was seeking THE LORD and hoped for HIS intervention… her day arrived.  The demon did not keep her from attending to her faith.

If we are to truly ascend to fully mature Sons and Daughters, we must be willing to pray and fast in a greater degree than most believers.  This is a requirement to walk in the same empowerment as Jesus walked.  Our mindsets must shift away from past teachings of passivity causing us to think that FATHER will do it all while we simply sit around and do nothing.  This is EXACTLY what demons want us to do… nothing, and false teachers have promoted this mindset.

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Colossians chapter 2:

8 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 the Anointed One.

Additionally in Philippians chapter 2:

4 Abandon every display of selfishness. Possess a greater concern for what matters to others instead of your own interests. 5 And consider the example that Jesus, the Anointed One, has set before us. Let His mindset become your motivation.

We must not take these words lightly.  In order to walk like Jesus, we must have the same mindset as Jesus.  He did not spend 3 ½ years sitting around and doing nothing.  As it is written by The Holy Spirit in Acts chapter 10:

38  God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power, who went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with Him.

The woman above was being oppressed by the devil and Jesus healed her by removing the demon from her midst.  She wasn’t demon possessed, she was demon oppressed.  Yes, demons have no problem in attending “church” services.

Dealing with demons was and is a notable portion of Jesus’ ministry on this earth thus we must not disregard this aspect of ministry if we are to walk in the same mindset as Jesus.  If you are afraid of demons, your mindset must change.  Jesus never backed down from the devil or demons for He knew His authority over them.  He had no misguided teachings to hinder Him.

Our lives must be saturated with the presence of God through prayer and fasting in order to conquer the evil that is in the world and hiding in the hearts of mankind.  How many leaders of the church had encountered the woman for those eighteen long years yet had no clue of how to minister to her?  Selah.

The Living Word

September 26th, 2020

Mark wrote by The Holy Spirit in chapter 5:

21 After Jesus returned from across the lake, a huge crowd of people quickly gathered around Him on the shoreline. 22 Just then, a man saw that it was Jesus, so he pushed through the crowd and threw himself down at His feet. His name was Jairus, a Jewish official who was in charge of the synagogue. 23 He pleaded with Jesus, saying over and over, “Please come with me! My little daughter is at the point of death, and she’s only twelve years old! Come and lay Your hands on her and heal her and she will live!”

24 Jesus went with him, and the huge crowd followed, pressing in on Him from all sides.

25 Now, in the crowd that day was a woman who had suffered horribly from continual bleeding for twelve years. 26 She had endured a great deal under the care of various doctors, yet in spite of spending all she had on their treatments, she was not getting better, but worse.

The world wants us to put our trust and money with the healthcare system and pharmaceutical companies.  At best they can effectively treat the symptoms but do not produce a cure.  Our immune systems are designed to heal our bodies when given the chance.  Moreover, we must search out the root cause of our sickness or disease to see what is preventing us from living in Divine health.

Was Jesus ever sick?  No!  Why?  Healing power flowed through Him and that same healing power is meant to flow through us as well for we too are Sons and Daughters of THE MOST HIGH.  Sickness cannot survive when the healing power has arrived.

27 When she heard about Jesus’ healing power, she pushed through the crowd and came up from behind Him and touched His prayer shawl. 28 For she kept saying to herself, “If only I could touch His clothes, I know I will be healed.” 29 As soon as her hand touched Him, her bleeding immediately stopped! She knew it, for she could feel her body instantly being healed of her disease!

30 Jesus knew at once that someone had touched Him, for He felt the power that always surged around Him had passed through Him for someone to be healed. He turned and spoke to the crowd, saying, “Who touched My clothes?”

31 His disciples answered, “What do You mean, who touched You? Look at this huge crowd—they’re all pressing up against You.” 32 But Jesus’ eyes swept across the crowd, looking for the one who had touched Him for healing.

33 When the woman who experienced this miracle realized what had happened to her, she came before Him, trembling with fear, and threw herself down at His feet, saying, “I was the one who touched You.” And she told Him her story of what had just happened.

34 Then Jesus said to her, “Daughter, because you dared to believe, your faith has healed you. Go with peace in your heart, and be free from your suffering!”

Her faith healed her because she had no unbelief about the healing power flowing through Jesus.  She tapped into the Spiritual and brought It into the physical.

There was a glorious power that kept going out around Jesus Christ, drawing others to Him and healing those He touched, and in this case, healing a woman who touched Him in faith. Jesus knew that the power of God was always emanating around Him, yet it had flowed through Him to someone in the crowd.

Jesus already knew the answer to His question. He wanted the woman to come forward and acknowledge her healing. There were crowds around Jesus, the Living Word. Many today crowd around the written Word. But only those who “touch” the Scriptures in faith receive its promises, just like the sick woman who received her healing.

We must not allow ourselves to get into a rut of “crowding around the written Word”.  Each morning, I ask The Holy Spirit what to focus on in The Living Word and He directs me to the passage or passages which end up in these writings.  None of these writings are by happenstance.  The Holy Spirit is constantly directing us to the Living Word, not just the written Word.  We must understand FATHER’S Divine Intent for what THE SPIRIT is saying today.

35 And before He had finished speaking, people arrived from Jairus’ house and pushed through the crowd to give Jairus the news: “There’s no need to trouble the Master any longer—your daughter has died.” 36 But Jesus refused to listen to what they were told and said to the Jewish official, “Don’t yield to fear. All you need to do is to keep on believing.” 37 So they left for his home, but Jesus didn’t allow anyone to go with them except Peter and the two brothers, Jacob and John.

38 When they arrived at the home of the synagogue ruler, they encountered a noisy uproar among the people, for they were all weeping and wailing. 39 Upon entering the home, Jesus said to them, “Why all this grief and weeping? Don’t you know the girl is not dead but merely asleep?” 40 Then everyone began to ridicule and make fun of Him. But He threw them all outside.

Then He took the child’s father and mother and His three disciples and went into the room where the girl was lying. 41 He tenderly clasped the child’s hand in His and said to her in Aramaic, “Talitha koum,” which means, “Little girl, wake up from the sleep of death.” 42 Instantly the twelve-year-old girl sat up, stood to her feet, and started walking around the room! Everyone was overcome with astonishment in seeing this miracle!

Yes, the child’s body was dead but her spirit wasn’t and she could hear the Words of Jesus.  Jesus made it quite clear that our lives don’t end because of physical death and we are meant to hear His Words to us no matter what state we are in.

FATHER’S healing power has not subsided and it is up to us to bring forth that healing power in and through us.  It is our responsibility to build our faith into “great faith” and walk in that power and authority.  If you are simply and passively hanging out waiting for FATHER to do something on your behalf, you are missing out.

If people are making fun of you, ridiculing you, or distracting you… do as Jesus did, “throw them out”.  How do you build up your faith to “great” faith?  Jude wrote by THE SPIRIT:

20 But you, my delightfully loved friends, constantly and progressively build yourselves up on the foundation of your most holy faith by praying every moment in the Holy Spirit. 21 Fasten your hearts to the Love of God and receive the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ, Who gives us eternal life.

Enter In To Your Secret Place

September 25th, 2020

Being undisturbed is helpful to concentration of thought.  We need to direct our focus on what is important to FATHER.

Jesus spoke in Matthew chapter 6:

6 “Examine your motives to make sure you’re not showing off when you do your good deeds, only to be admired by others; otherwise, you will lose the reward of your heavenly Father. 2 So when you give to the poor, don’t announce it and make a show of it just to be seen by people, like the hypocrites in the streets and in the marketplace. They’ve already received their reward! 3 But when you demonstrate generosity, do it with pure motives and without drawing attention to yourself. 4 Give secretly and your FATHER, WHO sees all you do, will reward you openly.”

Your donations to Servias are being directed to help the poor, specifically the impoverished children.  They do not know who is helping them for we have chosen to remain anonymous by utilizing intermediaries to distribute on our behalf.  As a result, FATHER will reward each of us openly.  FATHER knows who you are and responds to your gifts of Love to those kids.

When dealing with the poor, we should protect their dignity.  This is why no names are provided to those who receive our Love gifts.  Their current state of impoverishment does not need a light directed to it.  They need to be encouraged that someone cares.

5 “Whenever you pray, be sincere and not like the pretenders who love the attention they receive while praying before others in the meetings and on street corners. Believe Me, they’ve already received in full their reward. 6 But whenever you pray, go into your innermost chamber (secret place) and be alone with Father God, praying to HIM in secret. And your FATHER, WHO sees all you do, will reward you openly.”

My secret place is where I am undisturbed and can hear The Holy Spirit and hear myself think.  There are no distractions in the secret place.  It does not have to be a closet but it does need to be somewhere without inherent distractions.

The secret place is made to close off the spirit to all distractions so you can feel alone with FATHER.  HE will then speak to your renewed mind and crucified body.  Noise prevents your mind from hearing so you must do away with noise.  Loud music appeals to the flesh and keeps the person from hearing THE SPIRIT.  I am amazed that churches will promote “praise” music which is nearly deafening.  Some even hand out ear plugs for those who can’t handle the volume.

Before I was filled with The Holy Spirit, I played in a rock band and our music was loud which appealed to the audience.  They could literally “feel” the music and loved it.  Why?  It promoted their carnal nature.  After I was baptized in The Holy Spirit, my desire to play immediately left me so I quit the band and sold all my equipment.  Yes, old things passed away thus I never regretted my departure from that life.

In the secret place, we become aware of the things we often overlook hence the secret place is made for awareness between you and FATHER.  Our appreciation for those things increases and we become more alert.

In the secret place, we find out what we should be grateful for.

Beware of the cares that try to absorb you and cause your focus to be directed away from your secret place.  Jesus warned us in Mark chapter 4:

18 And the seed sown among thorns represents those who hear the Word, 19 but they allow the cares of this life and the seduction of wealth and the desires for other things to crowd out and choke the Word so that it produces nothing.

The secret place is where we have communion with FATHER which brings forth stability and peace.  If fear is gripping your heart, you need to go to your secret place until your peace is restored no matter how long it takes.  Your communion with FATHER will eliminate the seduction of wealth and desires for other things.  When you are full of The Holy Spirit, there is no room for “thorns”.

In the secret place, we get a sense of true perspective and the “temporary” loses its appeal.  We are able to see the relative importance of things in our life.  Never brood or worry over small disappointments or misfortunes for they will darken your surroundings.

Our life must be reviewed under the “light” of GOD for it exposes not only Truth but sin which must be dealt with.  We must discover the root causes which are keeping us from progressing to the next level of maturity in Christ.  This takes time and patience for FATHER will expose issues in a progressive fashion allowing us to deal with each issue one at a time.  It is like the peeling of an onion.

The secret place produces awareness and proper perspective.  It is clear that we need both in such a time as this.

In quietness FATHER speaks if we listen patiently and honestly.  Our faith is strengthened during such times.  This is where the best opportunity to hear FATHER occurs.  Enter in to your secret place often and you will not be disappointed.
