The Truth Shall Make You Free

Sunday, March 17th, 2024

We need to fully embrace the Priesthood of Our Lord Jesus Christ for it is eternal!

Jesus spoke in John chapter 8:

31  Then Jesus said to those Jews who believed Him, “If you abide in My Word, you are My disciples indeed.

32 And you shall know the Truth, and the Truth shall make you free.”

The Words Jesus spoke are vital to our lives in the here and now.  Do we want to be free of sin consciousness, sickness, and disease, or are we willing to tolerate a lesser existence until our passing? 

If you aren’t free in any area of your life, whether it is financial, your physical body (i.e. healing), your emotions, if you are bound in any area, then you do not know and fully understand the Truth that Jesus is referring to in the above passage.  His Truth supersedes the lesser understanding people have embraced that has negatively impacted them in those areas.

We need to embrace ALL that Jesus teaches for that is the definition of a true, mature disciple.  Acknowledging the Truth is not the same as embracing the Truth!

If you have some need and you want it resolved, then you need a greater revelation of the Truth and fully embrace it.  I can personally attest to dealing with issues that required a greater commitment to the Truth than what I was consciously walking in at various times in the past.  I became “void” of HIS Word by not renewing my mind of HIS Truth in the area of healing and had to repent.  In response, I immersed myself in Scriptures on healing and was healed of a life-threatening disease.  It took commitment on my part.

We must change the way we think.  Renewing our minds to conform to The Word is the issue.  The adversary wants us to accept the narrative of the world.

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

2  Grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord,

3 as His Divine power has given to us all things that pertain to Life and Godliness, through the knowledge of Him Who called us by glory and virtue,

4 by which have been given to us exceedingly great and precious promises, that through these you may be partakers of the Divine Nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.

“Through the knowledge of Him” is the key to understanding how we walk in Life and Godliness.

Hosea spoke by THE SPIRIT in Hosea chapter 4:

6   My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. Because you have rejected knowledge, I also will reject you from being priest for Me; Because you have forgotten the law of your God, I also will forget your children.

This Truth still applies today.  Many have become forgetful hearers and have allowed themselves to walk in ignorance of the Truth that makes us free.

FATHER wants to bless you more than you want to be blessed!  HE wants you to be well more than you want to be well.  HE wants you to prosper more than you want to be prospered.  HE wants you to walk in Love, joy, and peace.  You don’t have to beg for these benefits, they have already been given for your benefit.  However, you cannot benefit from them if you don’t know how to receive them.

Jesus spoke in Matthew chapter 7:

7  “Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.

8 For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened.

9 Or what man is there among you who, if his son asks for bread, will give him a stone?

10 Or if he asks for a fish, will he give him a serpent?

11 If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will Your Father who is in Heaven give good things to those who ask Him!

If you don’t know what to ask for, can you expect to receive anything?  Why accept mediocrity when FATHER wants you to walk in the fullness of Life?  Jesus paid the price for such a relationship with Our Heavenly Father!

As A Man Thinks

Thursday, March 14th, 2024

Proverbs 23:7a   For as a man thinks in his heart, so is he.

This is such a vital Truth for us to consider.  You only have to spend time with someone to get an idea of what they truly think.  In the short term, people will try to project their best to you.  Spend a week with someone and their true nature will come out, good or bad.

Your life is going in the direction of your thoughts!

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Hebrews chapter 1:

1  God, Who at various times and in various ways spoke in time past to the fathers by the prophets,

2 has in these last days spoken to us by His Son, whom He has appointed heir of all things, through Whom also He made the worlds;

3 Who being the brightness of His glory and the Express Image of His Person, and upholding all things by the Word of His power, when He had by Himself purged our sins, sat down at the Right Hand of the Majesty On High,

4 having become so much better than the angels, as He has by inheritance obtained a more excellent Name than they.

Do you want to know FATHER?  Then focus on Jesus’ Words and acts for He is the Express Image of FATHER.  Some people focus on prophets, angels, signs, etc. but we should focus on The Word made flesh as well as The Word expressed by those anointed to record the Epistles in the New Testament.  Am I saying to disregard the Old Testament?  No!  The Old points to the New.  The shadows and symbolism in the Old, point to the reality in the New.

In chapter 2:

1  Therefore we must give the more earnest heed to the things we have heard (from Jesus), lest we drift away.

2 For if the Word spoken through angels proved steadfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just reward,

3 how shall we escape if we neglect so great a salvation, which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed to us by those who heard Him,

4 God also bearing witness both with signs and wonders, with various miracles, and gifts of the Holy Spirit, according to His own will?

FATHER has placed everything under Jesus’ authority. This means that God has left nothing outside the control of His Son, even if presently we have yet to see this accomplished.

Are there any exceptions to His authority?  No!  We must not neglect what Jesus has done for us.

Paul continues in Hebrews chapter 3:

1  Therefore, Holy brethren, partakers of the Heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our confession, Christ Jesus,

2 Who was faithful to Him who appointed Him, as Moses also was faithful in all His house.

3 For this One has been counted worthy of more glory than Moses, inasmuch as He Who built the house has more honor than the house.

4 For every house is built by someone, but He Who built all things is God.

5 And Moses indeed was faithful in all His house as a servant, for a testimony of those things which would be spoken afterward,

6 but Christ as a Son over His Own House, Whose House we are if we hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of the hope firm to the end.

In other Words:

Indeed, Moses served God faithfully in all He gave him to do. His work prophetically illustrates things that would later be spoken and fulfilled. But Christ is more than a Servant, He was faithful as the Son in charge of God’s House. And now we are part of His House if we continue courageously to hold firmly to our bold confidence and our victorious hope.

In chapter 4:

1Now the promise of entering into God’s rest is still for us today. So we must be extremely careful to ensure that we all embrace the fullness of that promise and not fail to experience it.

2 For we have heard the Good News of deliverance just as they did (the Israelites), yet they didn’t join their faith with the Word. Instead, what they heard didn’t affect them deeply, for they doubted.

You cannot twist FATHER’S Arm with repetitive prayers or seeking a prayer chain to convince HIM to act.  Begging and pleading do not help either.  HE already gave us HIS promises and we are by faith to stand on them, doubting not!  Faith pleases GOD.  Our mindsets need to line up with HIS Word.

Time Of Communion

Monday, March 4th, 2024

How often should we take communion?

Jesus spoke in John 6:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Luke recorded by The Holy Spirit in Luke chapter 11:

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

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

Our Father in Heaven, Hallowed be Your Name.

Your Kingdom come.

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

3 Give us day by day our daily Bread.

4 And forgive us our sins,

For we also forgive everyone who is indebted to us.

And do not lead us into temptation,

But deliver us from the evil one.”

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

Luke recorded by The Holy Spirit in Acts chapter 2:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Luke continues in Acts chapter 3:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The True Benefits

Friday, February 23rd, 2024

Do you want strength, health, and wholeness?

Properly discerning The Body of Christ during communion will bring about strength, health, and wholeness. Communion is meant to be a blessing to us by fully acknowledging Our Lord Jesus Christ’s great sacrifice for us when He went to the cross.

As I wrote yesterday, Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in 1st Corinthians chapter 11:

23  For I received directly from the Lord Himself what I also delivered to you, that the Lord Jesus on the night when He was betrayed took bread,

24 and when He had given thanks, He broke it, and said, “This is My Body, which is given for you. Do this in remembrance of Me.”

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

28 Let a person examine himself, then, and so eat of the bread and drink of the cup.

29 For anyone who eats and drinks without discerning The Body (of Christ) eats and drinks judgment on himself.

30 That is why many of you are weak and ill, and some have died.

Paul tells us that partaking of communion in an unworthy manner brings forth judgment including weakness, illness, and premature death.  What is the opposite if we do properly discern The Body of Christ?

Strength, health, and wholeness… and we won’t suffer premature death!

Moses was faithful in administering the Old Covenant.  Paul compares the Old Covenant versus the New Covenant as he recorded by The Holy Spirit in Hebrews chapter 3:

1  Therefore, Holy brothers, you who share in a Heavenly calling, consider Jesus, the Apostle and High Priest of our confession,

2 Who was faithful to HIM Who appointed Him, just as Moses also was faithful in all God’s House.

3 For Jesus has been counted worthy of more glory than Moses-as much more glory as the Builder of a House has more honor than the house itself.

4 (For every house is built by someone, but the Builder of all things is God.)

5 Now Moses was faithful in all God’s house as a servant, to testify to the things that were to be spoken later,

Consider the benefits of the Old Covenant:

Deuteronomy 2:7 For the LORD your God has blessed you in all the work of your hands. He knows your going through this great wilderness. These forty years the LORD your God has been with you. You have lacked nothing.”‘

Deuteronomy 8:3And HEe humbled you and let you hunger and fed you with manna, which you did not know, nor did your fathers know, that HE might make you know that man does not live by bread alone, but man lives by every Word that comes from the Mouth of the LORD.

4 Your clothing did not wear out on you and your foot did not swell these forty years.

Deuteronomy 29:5 I have led you forty years in the wilderness. Your clothes have not worn out on you, and your sandals have not worn off your feet.

It is also written by THE SPIRIT in Nehemiah 9:

19 YOU in YOUR great mercies did not forsake them in the wilderness. The pillar of cloud to lead them in the way did not depart from them by day, nor the pillar of fire by night to light for them the way by which they should go.

20 You gave your good Spirit to instruct them and did not withhold Your manna from their mouth and gave them water for their thirst.

21 Forty years YOU sustained them in the wilderness, and they lacked nothing. Their clothes did not wear out and their feet did not swell.

How great was the Old Covenant to the children of Israel, yet how much greater is the New Covenant because of The Body of Christ perfecting this Covenant!  We ought to look at these two Covenants in comparison so that we realize the extraordinary benefits we are to receive by properly discerning The Body of Christ as we partake of communion!

Paul continues in Hebrews chapter 4:

14  So then, we must cling in faith to all we know to be true. For we have a magnificent King-Priest, Jesus Christ, the Son of God, Who rose into the Heavenly realm for us, and now sympathizes with us in our frailty.

15 He understands humanity, for as a man, our magnificent King-Priest was tempted in every way just as we are, and conquered sin.

16 So now we draw near freely and boldly to where grace is enthroned, to receive mercy’s kiss and discover the grace we urgently need to strengthen us in our time of weakness.

Jesus understands us in all our shortcomings so let us focus on Him Who conquered sin rather than ourselves, especially during communion.

Take Communion Properly

Thursday, February 22nd, 2024

Take Communion in a worthy manner!

Communion is about how good GOD is and not about how bad we are.  Communion is about one of the provisions GOD has given for us to walk in Divine health.  If we don’t recognize what communion is all about, we won’t reap the benefits of it.  Healing is GOD’S idea for us!  We don’t need to convince HIM, HE wants to convince us.

Communion is meant to be a blessing to us.

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in 1st Corinthians chapter 11:

23  For I received directly from the Lord Himself what I also delivered to you, that the Lord Jesus on the night when He was betrayed took bread,

24 and when He had given thanks, He broke it, and said, “This is My Body, which is given for you. Do this in remembrance of Me.”

Jesus told us to do this in remembrance of Him, not in remembrance of our sin.

25 In the same way also he took the cup, after supper, saying, “This cup is the New Covenant in My Blood. Do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of Me.”

26 For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until He comes.

27 Whoever, therefore, eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty concerning the Body and Blood of the Lord.

What does “unworthy manner” mean?

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

If our mindset isn’t consistent with the intent of “properly discerning”, we will be dishonoring the intent of communion.  Let us correct our thinking and mindset.  Jesus’ Body is fully worthy for us to receive of Him.  It is critical for us to discern this Truth!  It is not a casual event but one that demands the greatest of reverence.  Consider the importance of receiving such a blessing!  It is all about acknowledging what Jesus has done, not about what we have or have not done.  Communion should remind us of our inheritance in Christ, including healing of the body.

28 Let a person examine himself, then, and so eat of the bread and drink of the cup.

Let us first take time to examine ourselves and consider our mindset to be sure it aligns with the Divine Intent of communion.  Are we properly focused on this act of reverence toward Our Savior?

29 For anyone who eats and drinks without discerning The Body (of Christ) eats and drinks judgment on himself.

To discern His Body means to recognize, reverence, and respect Its True worth or validity.  Because Jesus is Our High Priest, FATHER looks at us through Jesus’ behavior, not ours.  It is vital that we understand the significance of THE LORD’S Body! 

What happens if we don’t?

30 That is why many of you are weak and ill, and some have died.

Paul tells us that partaking of communion in an unworthy manner brings forth judgment including weakness, illness, and premature death.

We won’t receive the benefits of the cross if we don’t recognize those benefits.  Believers and unbelievers can suffer the same effects if they don’t recognize the benefits of the cross.  We must not let communion simply be a ritual without true discernment. The point of communion is “to remember”!

A symptom of sickness in the Body of Christ is a symptom of their spiritual sickness.  Taking communion in an unworthy manner has a direct impact on our wellbeing.

With the above in mind, consider what Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Romans chapter 8:

17 And since we are His True Children, we qualify to share all His treasures, for indeed, we are heirs of God himself. And since we are joined to Christ, we also inherit all that He is and all that He has. We will experience being co-glorified with Him provided that we accept His sufferings as our own.

Divine Displacement

Wednesday, February 21st, 2024

Jesus initiates Divine displacement on our behalf!

By THE SPIRIT, Isaiah describes The Lord’s favor directed toward us in Isaiah chapter 61:

1  The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon Me, because the LORD has anointed Me to bring good news to the poor; HE has sent Me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to those who are bound;

2 to proclaim the year of the LORD’s favor, and the day of vengeance of Our God; to comfort all who mourn;

3 to grant to those who mourn in Zion- to give them a beautiful headdress instead of ashes, the oil of gladness instead of mourning, the garment of praise instead of a faint spirit; that they may be called oaks of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that He may be glorified.

4 They shall build up the ancient ruins; they shall raise up the former devastations; they shall repair the ruined cities, the devastations of many generations.

5 Strangers shall stand and tend your flocks; foreigners shall be your plowmen and vinedressers;

6 but you shall be called the priests of the LORD; they shall speak of you as the ministers of our God; you shall eat the wealth of the nations, and in their glory you shall boast.

7 Instead of your shame there shall be a double portion; instead of dishonor they shall rejoice in their lot; therefore in their land they shall possess a double portion; they shall have everlasting joy.

Jesus replaces hopelessness with Good News.

He replaces the wounds of the brokenhearted with healing.

He replaces captivity with freedom and liberty.

He replaces enslavement with open doors.

He replaces darkness with light.

He replaces mourning and ashes with a beautiful headdress and the oil of gladness.

He replaces a faint spirit with a garment of praise.

What is the result of these displacements?  We are to be called oaks of righteousness, we are the planting of THE LORD.  We are then to build up ancient ruins that resulted from the devastations of past generations.

What will happen as a result?

Foreigners will be appointed to shepherd our many flocks; strangers will cultivate your fields and tend your vines.  In today’s vernacular, they will manage and serve our businesses.

We will be known as Priests of YAHWEH, and called Servants of Our God. We will feast on the wealth of nations and revel in their riches!

7 Because we received a double dose of shame and dishonor, we will inherit a double portion of endless joy and Everlasting bliss!

FATHER will respond,

“For I, YAHWEH, Love fairness and justice, and I hate stealing and sin. I will rightly repay them because of My faithfulness and enter into an everlasting covenant with them.  Their seed will be famous among the nations, and their descendants the center of attention of the people. All who see them will recognize that they are the seed that YAHWEH has blessed with favor!”

The world is in tumultuous times, but we should be looking up for our redemption draws near!  We should expect the fulfillment of Divine displacement in all areas of our lives.

How will Jesus respond?

10  I will sing and greatly rejoice in YAHWEH! My Whole Being vibrates with shouts of joy in My God! For HE has dressed Me with salvation and wrapped Me in the robe of HIS righteousness! I appear like a Bridegroom on His wedding day, decked out with a beautiful sash, or like a radiant bride adorned with sparkling jewels.

11 In the same way the earth produces its crops and seeds spring up in a garden, so will the Lord YAHWEH cause righteousness and praise to blossom before all the nations!

Divine displacement is at hand!

Jesus Fully Surrendered Himself For Us

Tuesday, February 20th, 2024

Jesus surrendered Himself and embraced all our rebellious deeds so that we could be restore as Sons and Daughters of GOD!

Isaiah describes the last week of Jesus on earth and the intensifying of His suffering on our behalf.  Isaiah recorded by THE SPIRIT in Isaiah chapter 53:

1  Who has believed our report? And to whom has the Arm of The LORD been revealed?

2 For He shall grow up before Him as a tender plant, And as a root out of dry ground. He has no form or comeliness; And when we see Him, There is no beauty that we should desire Him.

3 He is despised and rejected by men, A Man of sorrows and acquainted with grief. And we hid, as it were, our faces from Him; He was despised, and we did not esteem Him.

4 Surely He has borne our griefs And carried our sorrows; Yet we esteemed Him stricken, Smitten by God, and afflicted.

5 But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; The chastisement for our peace was upon Him, And by His stripes we are healed.

Grief not only means sickness, but also weakness, distress, anguish, heartache, sadness, mourning (sadness of life), and misery.  Jesus took our inner sickness as much as our outer sickness.

Sorrow means pain of the mind and body, mental and emotional pain of one who is hurt by others.

In His last hours on earth, Jesus carried our griefs and sorrows.

6 All we like sheep have gone astray; We have turned, every one, to his own way; And the LORD has laid on Him the iniquity of us all.

7 He was oppressed and He was afflicted, Yet He opened not His mouth; He was led as a lamb to the slaughter, And as a sheep before its shearers is silent, So He opened not His mouth.

Why didn’t Jesus respond to His accusers?  It was imperative that He accept the full weight of grief and sorrows so He did not call upon angels, negotiate a lesser judgment, or speak to delay the purpose of His death at Passover.

8 He was taken from prison and from judgment, And who will declare His generation? For He was cut off from the land of the living; For the transgressions of My people He was stricken.

9 And they made His grave with the wicked- But with the rich at His death, Because He had done no violence, Nor was any deceit in His Mouth.

Why was Jesus betrayed?  He had to experience the betrayal of Judas who had just kissed Him before betraying Him.  How many of us have been betrayed as well?  Most if not all.   Jesus knows what it is like and knows how to help us get over the betrayal.

Jesus suffered emotional abuse.

The Beloved Disciple wrote by The Holy Spirit in John chapter 18:

15  And Simon Peter followed Jesus, and so did another disciple. Now that disciple was known to the high priest, and went with Jesus into the courtyard of the high priest.

16 But Peter stood at the door outside. Then the other disciple, who was known to the high priest, went out and spoke to her who kept the door, and brought Peter in. 17 Then the servant girl who kept the door said to Peter, “You are not also one of this Man’s disciples, are you?” He said, “I am not.”

18 Now the servants and officers who had made a fire of coals stood there, for it was cold, and they warmed themselves. And Peter stood with them and warmed himself.

25 Now Simon Peter stood and warmed himself. Therefore they said to him, “You are not also one of His disciples, are you?” He denied it and said, “I am not!” 26 One of the servants of the high priest, a relative of him whose ear Peter cut off, said, “Did I not see you in the garden with Him?”

27 Peter then denied again; and immediately a rooster crowed.

The disciples spent 3 ½ years with Jesus and experienced the signs and wonders of His earthly ministry yet denied Him at His time of need.

There is not one sorrow or grief that you have experience that is foreign to Our High Priest!  He fully understands us in all areas!

Totally Healed!

Sunday, February 18th, 2024

Healing is for the whole man!

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

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

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

In other Words, may the God of peace and harmony set you apart, making you completely Holy. And may your entire beingspirit, soul, and body—be kept completely flawless in the appearing of our Lord Jesus, the Anointed One.  The One Who calls you by name is Trustworthy and will thoroughly complete His work in you.

There are no exceptions or surprises when it comes to FATHER completing HIS work in you because of Our High Priest Jesus Christ!

Jesus experienced firsthand a life of great challenges.

Jesus was born in a smelly barn full of animals who surely urinated and defecated as animals do.  Not a sterile environment.

Jesus and His family lived among a conquering force who saw them as slaves.  Romans would steal their coats, require them to carry their packs, and abuse them both verbally and physically… punching, slapping, etc.

Jesus lost His earthly father and had to take on the responsibility of being the head of the household as well as run the business that His father left behind.  Jesus was tempted to cut corners, cheat, lie, and steal in His business.

Mark recorded by The Holy Spirit in Mark chapter 6:

1  Afterward, Jesus left Capernaum and returned with His disciples to Nazareth, His hometown.

2 On the Sabbath, He went to teach in the synagogue. Everyone who heard His teaching was overwhelmed with astonishment. They said among themselves, “What incredible Wisdom has been given to Him! Where did He receive such profound insights? And what mighty miracles flow through His Hands!

3 Isn’t this Mary’s son, THE carpenter, the brother of Jacob, Joseph, Judah, and Simon? And don’t his sisters all live here in Nazareth?” And they took offense at Him.

Jesus was well known as a carpenter Who clearly had a good reputation in His business as THE carpenter.  Jesus dealt with unfair Roman taxes as well as the Temple tax.  Sound familiar?  Jesus knew what it took to trust FATHER for provision.

Jesus knew the anguish of leaving everything behind.  He left His mother, brothers, and sisters, everything He had known and Loved, to fulfill His calling.

Jesus knew what it was like to be excessively hungry. He faced satan directly, eye to eye, and withstood all the temptations satan could throw at Him.  As a result, Jesus bound the strongman

By experience, Jesus spoke in Matthew chapter 12:

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

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

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

Jesus knows what it is like to be misunderstood.

Mark recorded by The Holy Spirit in Mark chapter 3:

31 Then His brothers and His mother came, and standing outside they sent to Him, calling Him.

32 And a multitude was sitting around Him; and they said to Him, “Look, Your mother and Your brothers (and sisters) are outside seeking You.”

Why do you think His earthly family wanted to talk to Him?  They did not understand His ministry.  Jesus understood loneliness and rejection.  He understood failure as He looked toward Jerusalem.

Jesus spoke in Luke chapter 13:

34   “O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the one who kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to her! How often I wanted to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her brood under her wings, but you were not willing!

Jesus described Himself as being homeless in Luke chapter 9:

58 Jesus replied, “Yes, but remember this: even animals in the field have holes in the ground to sleep in, and birds have their nests, but the Son of Man has no place to lay down His Head.”

Jesus knew what it was like to require supernatural provision to survive.

Matthew recorded by The Holy Spirit in Matthew chapter 12:

1  At that time Jesus went through the grainfields on the Sabbath. And His disciples were hungry, and began to pluck heads of grain and to eat.

2 And when the Pharisees saw it, they said to Him, “Look, Your disciples are doing what is not lawful to do on the Sabbath!”

He was then criticized by The Pharisees for providing sustenance for Him and His disciples.

When you share your pain, trials, and tribulation with Jesus, He knows what you are talking about.  He did not summon Divine intervention during His last week before going to the cross but instead, He experienced excruciating pain, sorrow, betrayal, denial, isolation, exposure of His nakedness, all without any assistance from anyone.  He did not seek to minimize the pain on the cross.  This allows Him to relate with each and every one of us as Our High Priest.

He suffered in all areas for us so that we could be totally healed: spirit, soul, and body!

Receive Complete Healing

Healing is for the whole man!

The Beloved Disciple wrote by The Holy Spirit in 3rd John 1:

Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers.

3 For I rejoiced greatly when brethren came and testified of the Truth that is in you, just as you walk in the Truth.

4 I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in Truth.

Jesus became a man and experienced every aspect of human life and suffering in not only the body, but the soul as well.

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Philippians chapter 4:

Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God;

7 and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

8 Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy-meditate on these things.

9 The things which you learned and received and heard and saw in me, these do, and the God of peace will be with you.

These instructions are vital to us moving forward into full maturity as Sons and Daughter of GOD.  Don’t be anxious.  How? By meditating on those things listed.  If you do, peace will be with you.

Peter wrote by The Holy Spirit in 1st Peter chapter 1:

8  You Love Jesus passionately although you have not seen Him, but through believing in Him you are saturated with an ecstatic joy, indescribably sublime and immersed in glory (joy inexpressible and full of glory).

FATHER wants you to be super in the natural.  HE wants us to be full of joy.

Paul also wrote by The Holy Spirit in Hebrews chapter 2:

14  Inasmuch then as the children have partaken of flesh and blood, Jesus Himself likewise shared in the same (He became human to FULLY identify with us), that through death He might destroy him who had the power of death, that is, the devil,

15 and release those who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.

16 For indeed He does not give aid to angels, but He does give aid to the seed of Abraham.

17 Therefore, in all things He had to be made like His brethren, that He might be a merciful and faithful High Priest in things pertaining to God, to make propitiation (to be merciful and make reconciliation) for the sins of the people.

18 For in that He Himself has suffered, being tempted, He is able to aid those who are tempted.

Jesus had to be a man and take hold of our humanity in every way, no exceptions.

And in Hebrews chapter 4:

15  For we do not have a High Priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but was in all points tempted as we are, yet without sin. [16] Let us therefore come boldly (with confidence) to the Throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.

Jesus was and is our Covenant Representative.  FATHER is dealing with you and me based on Jesus’ performance, not ours!  FATHER now treats you as if you were Jesus yourself.  Jesus can sympathize with us in every aspect of our lives.  He not only knew about our challenges, but He also actually experienced them Himself.  He knows our trials by firsthand experience.

In addition, Paul also wrote by The Holy Spirit in Ephesians chapter 4:

22  that you put off, concerning your former conduct, the old man which grows corrupt according to the deceitful lusts,

23 and be renewed in the spirit of your mind,

24 and that you put on the new man which was created according to God, in true righteousness and Holiness.

As a new man, there are no curses to be dealt with for Jesus removed all curses from your life.  We are responsible for renewing our mind with the expressed purpose of walking in righteousness and Holiness.  Jesus is Our Example and because FATHER sees us through Him as Our High Priest, we are able to walk as He walked on earth.  Do you dare to accept this Truth and be healed spirit, soul, and body, all at the same time?

Maturity In All Areas

Thursday, January 11th, 2024

We are to pursue fullness in maturity in all areas: spirit, soul, and body!

Sin is breaking some kind of Law, and sin in the body is breaking the law of the body.  Dis-ease is broken law or dismantled ease… ease that had been destroyed.  Ease is health and dis-ease is sickness.

There are three kinds of sickness: spirit, soul, and body.  Our spiritual condition ultimately translates to the soul and body.  There is a difference between your spirit being new and being strong as well.  Your spirit has the capacity to be either strong or weak.

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Romans chapter 8:

1  There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.

If you are not fully led by The Holy Spirit, your spirit can become weak and ineffective. The psalmist recorded in Psalm 77, 142, and 143 that his spirit felt weak.

2 For the law of the Spirit of Life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death.

3 For what the law could not do in that it was weak through the flesh, God did by sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, on account of sin: He condemned sin in the flesh,

4 that the righteous requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.

It is our responsibility to walk according to THE SPIRIT in all areas.  As we strengthen our spirit man, our spirit takes command of our soul, ultimately taking command of our body.  Many will not pursue this level of maturity because they never thought it was possible.

Wisdom recorded in Proverbs chapter 23:

7 For as he thinks in his heart, so is he. “Eat and drink!” he says to you, But his heart is not with you.

12  Pay close attention to the teaching that corrects you, and open your heart to every Word of instruction.

Your actions will reveal what is in your heart.  You can temporarily hide your spiritual maturity, but in the end, you will reveal what is in your heart.  Be quick to recognize and receive correction and instruction.  It is vital that we submit daily to the instruction of The Holy Spirit!

5 For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit.

6 For to be carnally minded is death, but to be Spiritually minded is life and peace.

If you want to walk in peace in the times ahead, you must choose to be Spiritually minded in all areas.  I encourage you to be prepared, not scared.

7 Because the carnal mind is enmity against God; for it is not subject to the law of God, nor indeed can be.

8 So then, those who are in the flesh cannot please God.

My greatest desire is to be pleasing to FATHER.  These writings are meant to minister the same desire to all who read these.

9 But you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. Now if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he is not His.

10 And if Christ is in you, the body is dead because of sin, but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.

11 But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who dwells in you.

If FATHER gives life to our mortal bodies, then sickness will no longer be able to reside in our bodies.  HIS Life will swallow up death and destruction.  There are no sick people in Heaven.
