Full Trust

Sunday, November 15th, 2020

Paul wrote by THE SPIRIT in Ephesians chapter 5:

1 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.

If we couldn’t truly imitate Our Heavenly Father in everything we do, we would not be instructed to do the impossible.  This is how we represent HIM as Sons and Daughters.  I suggest a daily assessment of how well each of walked in this manner.

A key aspect of this walk is a continued surrender to the extravagant Love of Christ which was fully pleasing to FATHER.  The greater the revelation of My Heavenly Father, the greater my walk will reflect HIM.

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.

As we allow our mindsets to be changed to the full acceptance of a Loving Heavenly Father, we will take down any walls of protection that were built in the past.  Those walls were built out of fear, uncertainty, and doubt but HIS Love can and will remove those walls as we allow HIS Love to be shed abroad in our hearts.

I don’t need to protect myself from MY Creator.  After all, HE knows everything about me already.  I must shift my mindset to full trust IN HIM.  I cannot allow anything to stand in the way from my full trust and reliance of FATHER for HE has my best interest at heart… at all times.

This message is simple- place your full trust in Our Loving Heavenly Father!

Unhooking Our Past Associations- Part 3

Friday, November 13th, 2020

Jesus spoke the following in John chapter 10:

11 I am the Good Shepherd who lays down My life as a sacrifice for the sheep. 12–13 But the worker who serves only for wages is not a real shepherd. Because he has no heart for the sheep he will run away and abandon them when he sees the wolf coming. And then the wolf mauls the sheep, drags them off, and scatters them.

Jesus differentiates Himself from a “hireling” who does not have the flock’s best interest at heart.  The hireling is in it for the money and will bolt when danger comes to the door.  He will run away and abandon the flock.  How sad!  This is in contrast to Agape Love and FATHER’S commitment to the sheep.  Jesus and FATHER have the same heart for the sheep as He openly conveys in the following passage:

14 “I alone am the Good Shepherd, and I know those whose hearts are Mine, for they recognize Me and know Me, 15 just as My Father knows My heart and I know My Father’s heart. I am ready to give My life for the sheep.

Jesus has a full commitment to you and me, without exception.

16 “And I have other sheep that I will gather which are not of this Jewish flock. And I, their Shepherd, must lead them too, and they will follow Me and listen to My voice. And I will join them all into one flock with one Shepherd.

This includes you and me.  It started with the Jewish flock but we were adopted into the flock where we will remain forever.  His Word is unconditional as His Love is.  What a blessing!

17 “The Father has an intense Love for Me because I freely give My own life—to raise it up again. 18 I surrender My own life, and no one has the power to take My life from me. I have the authority to lay it down and the power to take it back again. This is the destiny My Father has set before Me.”

This is how safe we are because Jesus takes care of the wolves for us.  This is part of our Covenant which needs to be enforced.

How do we please FATHER?  It is written by The Holy Spirit in Hebrews chapter 11:

6 And without faith living within us it would be impossible to please God. For we come to God in faith knowing that HE is real and that HE rewards the faith of those who give all their passion and strength into seeking HIM.

We are to give all our passion and strength into seeking HIM every day, not just occasionally as it is convenient.  How passionate are you?  Are you willing to once and for all disconnect from past associations which have no future?  This includes any covenant and/or agreement with unrighteous associations.  They must be expressed as being null and void. 

I had to remove associations with those who I found to be fraudulent in their business dealings even though they presented themselves as faithful believers.  As we press into FATHER’S perfect plan for us, HE will expose those unrighteous associations which were hidden by the adversary for years.

Jesus spoke in Matthew chapter 18:

5 “And anyone who welcomes a little child like this on My behalf is welcoming Me. 6 But if you cause one of these little ones who trusts in Me to fall into sin, it would be better for you to have a large millstone tied around your neck and be drowned in the depths of the sea.

7 “What sorrow awaits the world, because it tempts people to sin. Temptations are inevitable, but what sorrow awaits the person who does the tempting.

Abortion, sex trafficking, and kidnapping are all included in the judgment Jesus spoke about when He threatened those who adversely affect His children.

We are to have childlike faith as one who trusts in Jesus.  Without trust, it is impossible to please GOD for trust and faith are synonymous.  Jesus spoke in Luke chapter 18:

15 One day some parents brought their little children to Jesus so He could touch and bless them. But when the disciples saw this, they scolded the parents for bothering Him.

16 Then Jesus called for the children and said to the disciples, “Let the children come to Me. Don’t stop them! For the Kingdom of God belongs to those who are like these children. 17 I tell you the Truth, anyone who doesn’t receive the Kingdom of God like a child will never enter it.”

We are to have childlike faith when it comes to belonging to The Kingdom.  We should have no reluctance in accepting GOD as Our Father Who Loves us with unconditional acceptance.

Our childlike faith and trust are hindered when we are still dealing with past associations adversely affecting our mindsets.  They must be fully unlinked in order to fully embrace that childlike faith in Our Heavenly Father.

Unhooking Our Past Associations- Part 2

Thursday, November 12th, 2020

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Romans chapter 8:

12 Therefore, brethren, we are debtors—not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh. 13 For if you live according to the flesh you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live. 14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God. 15 For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out, “Abba, Father.” 16 The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, 17 and if children, then heirs—heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him, that we may also be glorified together.

You and I have received the Spirit of adoption thus we now have a Superior Heavenly Father to any earthly father.  Why focus on past earthly father figures anymore?  Was your earthly father flawless?  Mine wasn’t “by a long shot”.  Some of you never knew your earthly father thus why try to envision what it would have been like to know him?  Even the best earthly father could not get close to the standard of Our Heavenly Father who is purely motivated by Agape Love.

You and I have everything we need for life and Godliness since we have received the Spirit of adoption.  So, why aren’t we walking in it?  We need to unhook past associations which are meant to keep us from rising up to walk in the fullness of THE SPIRIT.  Every deception must be removed and the past associations must be fully unlinked.  Those roots may be pretty deep as many of us were damaged when we were little children.  Do not allow circumstances sway you from the Truth of being a Child of GOD.

Jesus spoke the following in John chapter 10:

1 “I tell you the Truth, anyone who sneaks over the wall of a sheepfold, rather than going through the gate, must surely be a thief and a robber! 2 But the one who enters through the gate is the Shepherd of the sheep. 3 The gatekeeper opens the gate for Him, and the sheep recognize His voice and come to Him. He calls his own sheep by name and leads them out. 4 After He has gathered His own flock, He walks ahead of them, and they follow Him because they know His voice. 5 They won’t follow a stranger; they will run from him because they don’t know his voice.”

You and I should know the Voice of Jesus.  If you are having difficulty hearing His Voice, then spend more time separated from the World’s influences.  Ask FATHER to help you be a better listener and remove anything in your spirit hindering your ability to hear.

Once this is done and you gain clarity, you will no longer be moved by those who preach another gospel.  They will become easy to recognize.

If you have seen Jesus, you have seen THE FATHER.  If you are able to hear Jesus and The Holy Spirit, you are able to hear FATHER.  HE will navigate you out of difficulty in your everyday life.  HE has done it for me countless times over the years, even when I became a little “hard of hearing”.

False teachers will mislead you resulting in you not feeling safe and secure.  These are signs of false teaching.

Jesus continues:

6 Those who heard Jesus use this illustration didn’t understand what He meant, 7 so He explained it to them: “I tell you the Truth, I am the gate for the sheep. 8 All who came before Me were thieves and robbers. But the true sheep did not listen to them. 9 Yes, I am the Gate. Those who come in through Me will be saved. They will come and go freely and will find good pastures. 10 The thief’s purpose is to steal and kill and destroy. My purpose is to give them a rich and satisfying life.

Verse 10 provides us a barometer of where we stand in our walk.  Can Jesus achieve His purpose in your life?  He is willing, are you?  We cannot blame our past inactivity on Jesus.  Jesus is not going to the cross again for the first time was more than sufficient!  If you and I are not living a rich and satisfying life, we can’t blame Jesus.  We must look in the mirror and repent.  We must no longer allow past associations whether it be with our physical parents or other influencers dictate our relationship as Sons and Daughters of GOD.

If you want all that FATHER has for you, you must make an adjustment in your life.  You must cut those past associations which have hindered you from making such an adjustment.  Quit blaming past associations for where you are at.  Jesus is waiting on you to embrace FATHER’S Love once and for all.

You and I are not appointed to wrath so quit worrying about past associations needing recompense.  FATHER will take care of that without your help.

Unhooking Our Past Associations- Part 1

Wednesday, November 11th, 2020

Healing comes from Heaven thus it is Spiritual first then manifests in the physical realm.  The world would have us believe that we need to seek out the physical in order to be healed.  Isn’t this the basis of the pharmaceutical companies’ business plan and motivation for their greed?

Doctors admit they are not the healers, they are attempting to help the body heal itself.  They cannot cure anything.  Anyone who has studied human physiology in great detail understands the complexity of the various systems within the body and admits the insufficiency of science.  Why do you think that pharmaceutical commercials have so many possible side effects mentioned?  They simply don’t know the full impact of any medicine on the body.

Having said that, what is one, true solution to our healing?  It must come from the Spiritual and be transferred to the physical.  We must be willing to unlink our past associations in our minds in order to receive in the Spiritual in an unhindered fashion.  This will probably be a challenge for most of us since our minds have been bombarded with the world’s narrative of sustaining life for years.

Unless we are willing AND determined to unhook our past associations molded by the world, it will be a challenge to receive our individual healings and walk in Divine health.  When is the last time you heard much teaching on walking in Divine health?  In the western countries, worldly healthcare is the most politically-charged topic since everyone thinks they should have “affordable healthcare”.  The third-world countries simply want medical assistance in some form.

What is FATHER’S healthcare plan?  Let’s begin in Exodus chapter 15 which was written by Moses and revealed by The Holy Spirit:

22 So Moses brought Israel from the Red Sea; then they went out into the Wilderness of Shur. And they went three days in the wilderness and found no water. 23 Now when they came to Marah, they could not drink the waters of Marah, for they were bitter. Therefore the name of it was called Marah. 24 And the people complained against Moses, saying, “What shall we drink?” 25 So he cried out to the LORD, and the LORD showed him a tree. When he cast it into the waters, the waters were made sweet.

THE LORD revealed one of the aspects of HIS Agape Love- healing.  Until FATHER spoke, Moses had no idea of how to solve the bitterness of the water.  One Word of revelation changed Moses’ previous linkage with the world’s solution.  Without revelation, Moses would have surely dispatched spies to find sweet water elsewhere.

Once FATHER revealed HIMSELF as Healer and Moses performed the task, everything changed.  The Spiritual transferred Truth and revelation to the physical realm.

There HE made a statute and an ordinance for them, and there HE tested them, 26 and said, “If you diligently heed the voice of the LORD YOUR GOD and do what is right in His sight, give ear to His commandments and keep all His statutes, I will permit none of the diseases on you which I have allowed on the Egyptians. For I am THE LORD WHO heals you.”

27 Then they came to Elim, where there were twelve wells of water and seventy palm trees; so they camped there by the waters.

Elim has been reckoned to be 20 KM (roughly 12 miles) from Marah.  Needless to say they were in immediate need of water thus there was only one solution.

To fulfill this Word FATHER gave them at Marah, what was their responsibility?  “If you diligently heed the voice of the LORD YOUR GOD and do what is right in His sight, give ear to His commandments and keep all His statutes” then you will enjoy Divine health.  We must be diligent and heed The Voice of THE LORD and do right in HIS sight.

Diligence, heeding, and doing right are all active words required of each of us.  The word “heed” means- to mind; to regard with care; to take notice of; to attend to; to observe.  There is nothing “casual” about heeding The Word.  FATHER will test you when HE speaks a Word requiring obedience and most of the time it will not seem convenient to your current situation.  HE wants to “unhook” you from the mindset of the world.

How many people had previously come upon the bitter waters at Marah?  How many disregarded the tree close by?  Revelation is the difference between bitter and sweet.

FATHER wants to unhook us from the past and the worldly observations which have sunk their hooks into our mindset, steering us away from fully trusting IN HIM.

Impoverished Kids Update

Tuesday, November 10th, 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.

On October 30 FATHER instructed me to open the “treasury” so I did.  HE indicated that the proceeds from the 2nd census (conducted in 2013) were to be distributed to the families of the impoverished kids.  The coins were converted to US dollars and the proceeds were delivered to our distribution channel.  The monthly contributions were also added to the distribution.

The children will be blessed and will not be despondent as they were in the past during this Holiday season.  Thank your for your continued faithful giving to a projects dear to FATHER’S Heart.

I believe this act of discipline and obedience will produce blessed fruit to all those involved.

Maintaining Focus

Monday, November 9th, 2020

It is critical for each of us to maintain focus lest we get off our designated path.  I must maintain focus on my calling and not allow my mind to expand my actions beyond my calling.  This is one aspect of submitting to The Holy Spirit.

Each of us has an assignment.  I must keep my focus in walking it out and not allow the world to redirect me to areas that “tweak” my interests or gifting.  For example, I have an orientation as a problem solver but I am not intended to solve every problem that comes my way.  I should submit to The Holy Spirit and only deal with problems that I am meant to solve.  I must not allow myself to focus on problems meant to be solved by someone else.  Some of those problems are meant to correct that person and must be dealt with by that person.

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Romans chapter 8:

5 Those who are motivated by the flesh only pursue what benefits themselves. But those who live by the impulses of the Holy Spirit are motivated to pursue spiritual realities. 6 For the mind-set of the flesh is death, but the mind-set controlled by the Spirit finds life and peace.

It takes pressure off when we are not busy trying to fix everyone’s problem “in the flesh”.  If I am not directed to deal with an issue, I must not take it upon myself to accept responsibility and accountability for it.  There are those who would love to get you to take on their problems when in fact they should be taking action themselves.  I would only delay the true solution if I intervened.

Jesus spoke in John chapter 5:

19 So Jesus said, “I speak to you timeless Truth. The Son is not able to do anything from Himself or through My own initiative. I only do the works that I see THE FATHER doing, for the Son does the same works as HIS FATHER.”

I must cease those works originating out of my own initiative.  This can be difficult to do when you have been required in the past to take the initiative in your job and/or home life.  Jesus saw plenty of situations needing correction yet He only responded to those people and situations specifically directed by FATHER.

20 “Because the Father Loves HIS Son so much, HE always reveals to Me everything that HE is about to do. And you will all be amazed when HE shows Me even greater works than what you’ve seen so far! 21 For just like THE FATHER has power to raise the dead, the Son will raise the dead and give life to whomever He wants.”

FATHER wants us to properly use HIS power and authority thus we must be totally sensitive to The Holy Spirit in all situations.  Every situation we encounter has a purpose and only FATHER knows the proper handling of each situation.  If we take our own initiative, we will impede the resolution.  The perfect example of this occurring is found in Matthew chapter 16:

21 From that time Jesus began to show to His disciples that He must go to Jerusalem, and suffer many things from the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised the third day.

22 Then Peter took Him aside and began to rebuke Him, saying, “Far be it from You, Lord; this shall not happen to You!”

23 But He turned and said to Peter, “Get behind Me, Satan! You are an offense to Me, for you are not mindful of the things of GOD, but the things of men.”

We must not allow ourselves to stray from the Perfect Will of FATHER thus we should consistently purpose to be “mindful of the things of GOD” and only do those things we are called to accomplish, even if they seem inconvenient.

Walk In HIS Power And Authority

Sunday, November 8th, 2020

In Heaven there is Absolute Truth but on earth there are people’s interpretations of that Truth.  This is why we must rely fully on The Holy Spirit to reveal Absolute Truth.  It is all about the “intent” behind Absolute Truth and Agape Love should be our fundamental guide.  If you don’t understand the various facets of Agape Love, you cannot fully understand FATHER’S Divine Intent.

Accuracy doesn’t come from our humanness; it comes from our submissiveness to The Holy Spirit.  Precision is in us because we have The Holy Spirit.  Experience without discernment will not allow you to see someone’s heart thus each of us needs to be directed by The Holy Spirit in the words we speak to others.  As we become submissive to THE SPIRIT, we will be skilled in our individual callings.

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Ephesians chapter 1:

17 I pray that the Father of glory, the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, would impart to you the riches of the Spirit of Wisdom and the Spirit of revelation to know Him through your deepening intimacy with Him.

18 I pray that the light of God will illuminate the eyes of your imagination, flooding you with light, until you experience the full revelation of the hope of HIS calling—that is, the wealth of God’s glorious inheritances that HE finds in us, HIS Holy ones!

19 I pray that you will continually experience the immeasurable greatness of God’s power made available to you through faith. Then your lives will be an advertisement of this immense power as it works through you! This is the mighty power 20 that was released when God raised Christ from the dead and exalted Him to the place of highest honor and supreme authority in the Heavenly realm!

We are meant to continually experience the greatness of FATHER’S power in our lives thus we should pursue it and expect it to become operational in us and through us.  This is the solution to the world’s problems!  This may seem beyond what we can ask or think but that is where faith and trust in HIS Word is absolutely necessary.

Wisdom and revelation are aspects of the riches in Heaven that are permanent by nature.  Carnal men seek out the temporary but we are to seek out the permanent.  This is why I find it imperative in my life to constant pray in The Holy Spirit and immerse myself IN HIM.

21 And now He is exalted as first above every ruler, authority, government, and realm of power in existence! He is gloriously enthroned over every name that is ever praised, not only in this age, but in the age that is coming!

22 And He alone is the Leader and Source of everything needed in the church. God has put everything beneath the authority of Jesus Christ and has given Him the highest rank above all others. 23 And now we, His church, are His body on the earth and that which fills him who is being filled by it!

There is no one above the authority of Jesus Christ!  We must not forget that Absolute Truth as we seek to walk in the fullness of Christ in our individual lives.  In the past, the church has failed to bring its members to the fullness of Christ but that is going to change.  It does not take a huge number to initiate the spreading of The Gospel but it only takes those who are walking in the power and authority of Christ.

We are the generation to start this move so don’t let what is happening around you impact your commitment of overcoming the world.  Keep pressing in daily, knowing that The Holy Spirit is working things out on your behalf.  This is a “marathon” race and we must cross the finish line else we will become observers of the next generation.  Now is the time!

Be Passionate

Saturday, November 7th, 2020

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Romans chapter 12:

9 Let the inner movement of your heart always be to Love one another, and never play the role of an actor wearing a mask. Despise evil and embrace everything that is good and virtuous.

10 Be devoted to tenderly Loving your fellow believers as members of one family. Try to outdo yourselves in respect and honor of one another.

11 Be enthusiastic to serve the Lord, keeping your passion toward Him boiling hot! Radiate with the glow of the Holy Spirit and let Him fill you with excitement as you serve Him.

12 Let this hope burst forth within you, releasing a continual joy. Don’t give up in a time of trouble, but commune with God at all times.

13 Take a constant interest in the needs of God’s beloved people and respond by helping them. And eagerly welcome people as guests into your home.

14 Speak blessing, not cursing, over those who reject and persecute you.

We are instructed to be constant and active in our walk and not allow ourselves to become complacent.  Some may claim they are “waiting on THE LORD” but I would suggest that we have been given plenty of instruction concerning our daily walk being active and in search of those to bless… even if it is simply a kind word.

Are you enthusiastic about serving THE LORD or have you lost your enthusiasm?

Jesus “went about” rather than just sitting in one place expecting those in need to find Him.  He was all about meeting the needs of others and did not shy away from dealing with their needs.   We need to be the same way.

We are told to “radiate with the glow of the Holy Spirit and let Him fill you with excitement as you serve Him.”  Are you radiating yet?  If not, it isn’t because you are waiting on The Holy Spirit, He is waiting on you.

We must not allow the circumstances of the world to dictate our daily walk and our state of mind.  We should rejoice and be thankful for every breath we breathe today for it is given to us by FATHER.

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Philippians chapter 3:

12 I admit that I haven’t yet acquired the absolute fullness that I’m pursuing, but I run with passion into His abundance so that I may reach the purpose that Jesus Christ has called me to fulfill and wants me to discover.

13 I don’t depend on my own strength to accomplish this; however I do have one compelling focus: I forget all of the past as I fasten my heart to the future instead. 14 I run straight for the divine invitation of reaching the heavenly goal and gaining the victory-prize through the anointing of Jesus. 15 So let all who are fully mature have this same passion, and if anyone is not yet gripped by these desires, God will reveal it to them. 16 And let us all advance together to reach this victory-prize, following one path with one passion.

Your history has been erased by The Blood of Jesus so focus on the future and stir up your passion.  To be a good and faithful servant, you must act on faith and not allow yourself to take on the “do nothing”, passive state.  People are in need all around us.  It is time to be passionate!

Your Future

Thursday, November 5th, 2020

“I will never consult your past to determine your future.”

FATHER reiterated this Truth this morning at 4:30 AM and this Word is for you and me.  It is imperative that you wipe away all references to your past which are constantly being brought up by the enemy in an attempt to keep you from allowing your “borders” to be expanded.

FATHER spoke in Jeremiah chapter 29:

​10 ​For thus says the LORD: After seventy years are completed at Babylon, I will visit you and perform My good word toward you, and cause you to return to this place. 11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the LORD, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope. 12 Then you will call upon Me and go and pray to Me, and I will listen to you. 13 And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart. 14 I will be found by you, says the LORD, and I will bring you back from your captivity; I will gather you from all the nations and from all the places where I have driven you, says the LORD, and I will bring you to the place from which I cause you to be carried away captive.

FATHER is Our Deliverer and we must not be moved by the current circumstances which appear contrary to HIS Divine Intent for our nations.  This is not for just the United States but for your country as well.  HIS Kingdom will envelope the entire earth but it is up to us to allow our individual borders to be expanded.  We must take command of our “thought life” and place our hope totally on HIS Word to each of us.

We have endured “Babylon” and its time is up.  Those of us who have truly embraced our callings to be mature Sons and Daughters are totally focused on the passage “ And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart.

NOW IS THE TIME!

It matters not what your age is for Enoch did not “walk with GOD” until he was sixty-five years old.  What about his prior years?  They were erased of any unrighteous thus we are given no details prior to this.  This is true of you no matter what your current age is.  Your past is erased, just accept it!

Hope does not refer to the past, only to where you and I are going.  Your responsibility is to simply be teachable and available.  As a result HIS anointing will flow to you and through you.  You will walk in THE SPIRIT and HE will teach you every single day. 

You must be teachable and accept higher understanding which may alter or erase your current and possibly “immature” doctrines.  Allow yourself to be molded into the fullness of your calling and then the anointing will have no resistance in any area of your life.

Fulfilling Your Calling

Wednesday, 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.
