FATHER, OPEN OUR EYES

Wednesday, September 18th, 2019

FATHER will open our eyes to see in the spirit realm if we ask.  I have seen glimpses in the past but not in a consistent manner.  We have an angel who is a frequent visitor at our home and we have seen many glimpses of him.  Our grandson who at the age of five, had an early morning encounter with him when our grandson was spending the night at our house.  My wife had seen his backside before the encounter so she knew what the angel was wearing.  Neither of us had told anyone of these glimpses.  At the breakfast table, our grandson told us of the encounter and described him with the same apparel as she had seen.  The angel talked with our grandson “without moving his mouth”.  This was an independent confirmation to us at the time.

It is written by THE SPIRIT in 2 Kings chapter 6:

15 And when the servant of the man of God arose early and went out, there was an army, surrounding the city with horses and chariots. And his servant said to him, “Alas, my master! What shall we do?”

16 So he answered, “Do not fear, for those who are with us are more than those who are with them.”

17 And Elisha prayed, and said, “LORD, I pray, open his eyes that he may see.” Then the LORD opened the eyes of the young man, and he saw. And behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha.

18 So when the Syrians came down to him, Elisha prayed to the LORD, and said, “Strike this people, I pray, with blindness.” And He struck them with blindness according to the word of Elisha.

FATHER was not reluctant to open eyes or close eyes according to the situation.  Do you think Elisha would have asked that his servant’s eyes be opened in he had not himself been able to see in the spirit realm?  Remember that Elisha saw Elijah depart toward Heaven.

Paul wrote by THE SPIRIT in Ephesians chapter 1:

15 Therefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus and your (Agape) love for all the saints,

16 do not cease to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers:

17 that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him,

18 the eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that you may know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints,

19 and what is the exceeding greatness of His power toward us who believe, according to the working of His mighty power

20 which He worked in Christ when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly places,

21 far above all principality and power and might and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age but also in that which is to come.

Paul prayed that those who walk in Agape Love and faith would have the eyes of their hearts, the very center and core of their being, be enlightened and flooded with light by the Holy Spirit.  When this occurs, it allows us to see beyond the temporary nature of the world.  As a result, we are able to minister in a much greater way.  Let us not restrict our calling by limiting our willingness to utilize any and all resources FATHER discloses in HIS Word.

No Excuses

Tuesday, September 17th, 2019

Paul wrote by THE SPIRIT in Romans chapter 2:

1 Therefore you have no excuse or justification, everyone of you who

[hypocritically]

judges and condemns others; for in passing judgment on another person, you condemn yourself, because you who judge [from a position of arrogance or self-righteousness] are habitually practicing the very same things

[which you denounce]

. 2 And we know that the judgment of God falls justly and in accordance with truth on those who practice such things.

3 But do you think this, O man, when you judge and condemn those who practice such things, and yet do the same yourself, that you will escape God’s judgment and elude His verdict?

The above passage bring to light a trap that many people fall in- judging others by their actions but judging ourselves by our intent… without regard to our own actions.  We must not allow ourselves to fall into this trap.  As we receive and walk in the revelation of Agape Love, we will no longer be tempted to judge others but we will trust in and rely on FATHER’S process of judgment.  Paul continues:

4 Or do you have no regard for the wealth of His kindness and tolerance and patience [in withholding His wrath]? Are you [actually] unaware or ignorant [of the fact] that God’s kindness leads you to repentance [that is, to change your inner self, your old way of thinking—seek His purpose for your life]?

5 But because of your callous stubbornness and unrepentant heart you are

[deliberately]

storing up wrath for yourself on the day of wrath when God’s righteous judgment will be revealed.

6 He will pay back to each person according to his deeds [justly, as his deeds deserve]:

7 to those who by persistence in doing good seek [unseen but certain heavenly] glory, honor, and immortality, [He will give the gift of] eternal life.

8 But for those who are selfishly ambitious and self-seeking and disobedient to the truth but responsive to wickedness, [there will be] wrath and indignation.

I have plenty to focus on in my own life without spending time on others who have been lawless and unrepentant in their walk.  Ultimately, FATHER will expose their sins to them which will bring forth a decision to repent.  If they fail to repent, they will receive the full impact of HIS judgment on their lives… even unto death.  I have seen this occur several times in recent years.  Does anybody really want to store up wrath from FATHER?

We have been given the solution to our own lawlessness: repent, then persist in doing good.  Each of us must be brutally honest and assess whether we are self-seeking or dying to self.  Dying to self and being led by THE SPIRIT is the simplest way to avoid FATHER’S righteous judgment.

9 There will be tribulation and anguish [torturing confinement] for every human soul who does [or permits] evil, to the Jew first and also to the Greek,

10 but glory and honor and inner peace [will be given] to everyone who habitually does good, to the Jew first and also to the Greek.

11 For God shows no partiality [no arbitrary favoritism; with Him one person is not more important than another].  AMPL

We are not to remain passive and silent when we see others doing evil.  Love does not stand idly by while a brother or sister has clearly pursued a path which leads toward death and destruction.  We are not to be a part of condemnation but rather allow the Word to convict the person of their sins.  Condemnation sends a person downward whereas conviction is meant to raise up a person to a higher spiritual state.

We are to walk in Love and allow the Word to do whatever sifting is required in order to purify the heart by removing those impurities causing blindness.  Many of us have suffered at the hands of the lawless but we must not take matters in our own hands.  Let FATHER do the judging.  HE will make the proper assessment and do the correcting without any assistance from the “created”.

The Futility Surrounding Us

Monday, September 16th, 2019

Paul wrote by THE SPIRIT in Romans chapter 1:

18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness,

19 because what may be known of God is manifest in them, for God has shown it to them.

20 For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse,

Men have no excuse. There will be wrath and judgment to come forth due to the ungodliness and unrighteousness being promoted around the globe.  Ungodly men and women are attempting to suppress the Truth and lead the masses into death and destruction.  However, the remnant will not allow the Truth and righteousness to be extinguished but will continue to shine the light on darkness.

21 because, although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened.

22 Professing to be wise, they became fools,

23 and changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like corruptible man—and birds and four-footed animals and creeping things.

The futility of men’s thoughts is so obvious to those who walk in the light.  Two men cannot create life neither can two women bring forth life.  There are still only two genders- male and female, and FATHER will not allow any redefinition of this Truth which is observable by any unbiased scientist who simply looks into a microscope.  What foolishness!  What deceit!

You can only suppress the Truth for so long until FATHER’S wrath and judgment comes forth and then people will finally come to their senses when their world is turned upside down.

24 Therefore God also gave them up to uncleanness, in the lusts of their hearts, to dishonor their bodies among themselves,

25 who exchanged the truth of God for the lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.

26 For this reason God gave them up to vile passions. For even their women exchanged the natural use for what is against nature.

27 Likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust for one another, men with men committing what is shameful, and receiving in themselves the penalty of their error which was due.

Lust of the flesh is now influencing many of the television shows and movies being created by Hollywood.  Those in authority are promoting vile passions as though it is normal to walk according to such uncleanness.  Do you really think there will be no consequences for this behavior?  Is it worth the temporary nature of lust to suffer destruction?  There will be a penalty to pay for such behavior.  What will be the penalty?  FATHER will make that decision thus we do not need to concern ourselves with the magnitude or intensity of HIS judgment other than to be prepared for its eventual manifestation.

28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a debased mind, to do those things which are not fitting;

29 being filled with all unrighteousness, sexual immorality, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil-mindedness; they are whisperers,

30 backbiters, haters of God, violent, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,

31 undiscerning, untrustworthy, unloving, unforgiving, unmerciful;

32 who, knowing the righteous judgment of God, that those who practice such things are deserving of death, not only do the same but also approve of those who practice them.

The above is not my opinion but it is the WORD of GOD which I fully submit to in my walk, talk, and existence.  I have no personal opinion for I do not have the wisdom or understanding apart from that which comes from Above.  I didn’t create life, the planets, the stars, mankind, animals, or plants.  The Creator has the right to impart judgment on HIS creation in whatever manner HE deems appropriate.  Those of us who acknowledge our obvious limitations defer to the Wisdom from Above.  It is a “self-evident” truth to follow the directives of Our Heavenly Father Who promises us long life and deliverance from evil.

His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse.  Making excuses is not an acceptable defense for the coming judgment.  You and I must not allow deceit to come from our mouths and/or actions.  Let us be a light to those around us… they are going to need that light sooner than later.

Swift And Complete Obedience

Sunday, September 15th, 2019

In recent posts, I have included several videos.  These videos are meant to minister to you by providing certain aspects of revelation.  Are the speakers perfect?  No more than you and I are perfect at this time.  However, we should glean what FATHER wants to show us and not allow ourselves to focus on any imperfections of the “messenger”.  I look to The Holy Spirit to point out what I need when listening to anyone teaching or preaching the Gospel.

Our Beloved Sister Marion sent this video to my wife.  I watched it and was blessed by the many confirmations of what FATHER is doing today:

The Just

Saturday, September 14th, 2019

In light of the recent hurricane devastation of Abaco (Habakkuk) Island,

My Beloved Brother Alan shares his understanding of passages found in Habakkuk:

NKJ Habakkuk 2:3 “For the vision is yet for an appointed time; But at the end it will speak, and it will not lie. Though it tarries, wait for it; Because it will surely come, It will not tarry.

2:4 Behold, his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him: but the just shall live by his faith.” 

This ‘prophecy’ is not referring to a ‘future’ time, at least not a future chronological time on a calendar; not for Habakkuk, and not for any of us.  This is referring to a time when the ‘prophet’ in you and me has matured to the point of being able to ‘see’ God, as Yashua was referring to ‘seeing God’, and being able to understand what is going on around us as Our Father sees what is going on around us, and then reveals to us His Understanding.  This book is about spiritually maturing to the point that you see Father as only The Son can see His Father.

My translation of Habakkuk 2:3-4;

“For the soul, which is puffed up with pride, is not righteous within.  But the Righteous Son will Live by saying “Amen” to what Father reveals to him; literally, he will Live the Life of His Father, and do so by faith”.  Life, and/or Living, is a quality of existence in relationship to Him Who Is Life; Our Father!  Yashua declared to us, “Herein is Life; that I know God (as Father), and Christ whom Father has given to me as a gift”.   my paraphrase, of course.-

This particular passage is quoted multiple times in the New Testament.  Paul wrote by THE SPIRIT in Romans chapter 1:

17 For in the gospel the righteousness of God is revealed, both springing from faith and leading to faith [disclosed in a way that awakens more faith]. As it is written and forever remains written, “The just and upright shall live by faith.”

In chapter 3:

22 This righteousness of God comes through faith in Jesus Christ for all those [Jew or Gentile] who believe [and trust in Him and acknowledge Him as God’s Son]. There is no distinction.

And in Galatians chapter 3:

11 Now it is clear that no one is justified [that is, declared free of the guilt of sin and its penalty, and placed in right standing] before God by the Law, for “The righteous (the just, the upright) shall live by faith.”

It is written in Hebrews chapter 10 by THE SPIRIT:

35 Do not, therefore, fling away your [fearless] confidence, for it has a glorious and great reward.

36 For you have need of patient endurance [to bear up under difficult circumstances without compromising], so that when you have carried out the will of God, you may receive and enjoy to the full what is promised.

37 For yet in a very little while,

He who is coming will come, and will not delay.

38 But My righteous one [the one justified by faith] shall live by faith [respecting man’s relationship to God and trusting Him];

And if he draws back [shrinking in fear], My soul has no delight in him.

39 But our way is not that of those who shrink back to destruction, but [we are] of those who believe [relying on God through faith in Jesus Christ, the Messiah] and by this confident faith preserve the soul.

No matter what catastrophes occur around us, let us not “shrink back” to destruction and be moved by the chaos.  We must not allow our faith to waver as we persevere in whatever afflictions occur.  Our faith is perfected through Our Lord Jesus Christ thus we should never allow His preeminence in our life to be shaken by the events occurring in the world.

As we come into full maturity and are “able to understand what is going on around us as Our Father sees”, there will be much spiritual resistance.  Our faith will be tested and anything that can be shaken will be removed.  Any works apart from FATHER’S plan will be burned up as wood, stay, and stubble.  The final sifting requires the greatest focus and intensity.

Three Kingdoms

Friday, September 13th, 2019

Paul wrote by THE SPIRIT in 1 Corinthians chapter 15:

39 All flesh is not the same flesh, but there is one kind of flesh of men, another flesh of animals, another of fish, and another of birds.

40 There are also celestial bodies and terrestrial bodies; but the glory of the celestial is one, and the glory of the terrestrial is another.

41 There is one glory of the sun, another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars; for one star differs from another star in glory.

Zoology, the study of animals, teaches students that man is within a classification of the animal kingdom.  Wrong!  Man is a higher level of flesh as Paul states in the above passage.  I have a minor in Zoology and in order to pass, I had to regurgitate what was acceptable according to the scientific community for they were promoting evolution rather than creationism.  Mankind has totally different characteristics from the animal kingdom and rules over the animal kingdom.

Man’s logic and reasoning are always attempting to categorize by observation and assumption.  However, they cannot come to proper conclusions without understanding the spiritual.

42 So also is the resurrection of the dead. The body is sown in corruption, it is raised in incorruption.

43 It is sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory. It is sown in weakness, it is raised in power.

44 It is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body.

45 And so it is written, “The first man Adam became a living being.” The last Adam became a life-giving spirit.

46 However, the spiritual is not first, but the natural, and afterward the spiritual.

47 The first man was of the earth, made of dust; the second Man is the Lord from heaven.

48 As was the man of dust, so also are those who are made of dust; and as is the heavenly Man, so also are those who are heavenly.

49 And as we have borne the image of the man of dust, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly Man.

Science has no accounting of a spiritual body thus it omits any consideration that man has a spirit.  This allows the world to convince people to take actions without regard to the “spiritual consequences” of their actions.  Abortion is one area where science attempts to dumb down the population by promoting a lower level of existence.  They would have us believe we are simply part of the animal kingdom.

If we were truly of the animal kingdom, we would not have the capacity to change from a lawless state to a lawful state.  We would not have the capacity to Love and receive Love.  We would not have the capacity to create cities, computer technology, and the various forms of advanced communication.  Isn’t it amazing how mankind can be swayed by their own logic and reasoning to disregard what is self-evident!

FATHER’S Divine Intent of Love is at the highest level of Spiritual awareness.  It is the epitome of the incorruptible and as we gain the revelation of Love, we will be fully led by THE SPIRIT and we will see the fallacies of the world’s logic and reasoning.  We will see the unadulterated Truth and appreciate FATHER’S Word to a much greater degree.  Agape Love is reserved for mankind, not the animal or plant kingdoms.  We are meant to rule over those kingdoms (Genesis 1:26).

Benny Hinn Repents

Thursday, September 12th, 2019

I earlier posted “A Dream of the Eagles” and then found out what has been occurring this week in the “church”: There is a shaking going on.

Benny Hinn Renounces the “Prosperity Gospel” and Mike Murdock challenges him with his own comments supporting the “Prosperity Gospel”:

A couple of days later, he explains his repentance in the following interview.

Be sure to listen to the Q & A session at the end:

Don’t Be Sluggish

Thursday, September 12th, 2019

Our beloved sister Nancy sent this Youtube video this morning. Go up higher!
Where is the wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the disputer of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of this world?

A Sound Mind

Thursday, September 12th, 2019

Paul wrote by THE SPIRIT in 2 Timothy chapter 1:

7 For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.

A sound mind is one of sound judgment and personal discipline which are abilities that result in a calm, well-balanced mind and self-control.  We are not moved by the ego’s desire for self gratification and instant results.  We are allowing patience to have its perfect work in our lives.  Our calmness arises out of our trust in FATHER’S perfect plan working in us and through us.  Each day we are becoming more sensitive to the leading of The Holy Spirit in our lives.

We have a spirit of power residing on the inside of us and we must not allow fear to dissuade us from this inherent power given to us by Our Heavenly Father.  Christ is in us and His anointing is available to us as we become aware of its proper use and intent.  This power is meant to restore us into full and complete communion with HIM WHO formed us in the womb.

FATHER has given us a spirit of Agape Love.  As we submit to The Holy Spirit, Agape Love will begin to take over in our thought life, our relationships, and our actions.  We will begin to see people as FATHER sees them and treat them accordingly.

When Jesus healed the multitudes, how many of those were perfect?  I submit that they had the same character flaws as the multitudes today.  Jesus was and is in the restoration business and we are called to have the same mindset as Our Elder Brother.

8 Therefore do not be ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me His prisoner, but share with me in the sufferings for the gospel according to the power of God,

9 who has saved us and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to His own purpose and grace which was given to us in Christ Jesus before time began,

10 but has now been revealed by the appearing of our Savior Jesus Christ, who has abolished death and brought life and immortality to light through the gospel.

We are not to be ashamed of who we are in Christ.  The world tries to shame us by using derogatory labels usually ending in “phobic” as though they are normal and we are perverted in some manner.  It is time for each of us to proclaim the Truth and facts which cannot be altered.  We are called according to HIS own purpose and grace thus we are to be a true light in a world of darkness.

The abortion issue has been grossly misrepresented by those who are completely selfish and lawless.  They want to succumb to their fleshly desires without accountability and responsibility for their actions.  When does life begin?  I say that it begins with FATHER’S Divine Intent to form us in the womb and manifest HIS purpose in the earth.

FATHER spoke in Isaiah chapter 44:

24 ​​Thus says the LORD, your Redeemer,

​​And He who formed you from the womb:

​​“I am the LORD, who makes all things,

​​Who stretches out the heavens all alone,

​​Who spreads abroad the earth by Myself;

25 ​​Who frustrates the signs of the babblers,

​​And drives diviners mad;

​​Who turns wise men backward,

​​And makes their knowledge foolishness;

FATHER formed us in the womb and scientists observe resulting life when the lively sperm finds an egg with life already contained within it.  Does the sperm have intent?  Of course it does.  Does an egg have intent already resident within it?  Absolutely!  Life begets life.  The inorganic does not create organic.  Men and women want to redefine when life begins so they try to convince themselves that they are not guilty of destroying life.  FATHER, forgive them for they know not what they are doing!

Agape Love forgives the lawless but also demands restitution in some manner.  FATHER will bring forth correction in HIS Love and we are to walk according to HIS SPIRIT as this correction comes forth.  We must walk with a sound mind and not be moved by the circumstances of judgment which are coming upon the lawless.  Our calmness and Agape Love will draw those who suffer the consequences of their lawless acts and we will lead them to repentance and restoration.  FATHER’S power and Love will flow through us as we fulfill the purpose given to each of us when HE formed us in the womb.

Transition

Wednesday, September 11th, 2019

Word from The Lord  9/10/2019

    The Body of the Lord is going through a transition. Consider the lilies—

the trees of the field! Fall time brings a transition of their lives.

     I have brought my body to a place of transition. It is the Fall season

and there will be a time of “death;” a time of change. When Spring comes

it will come forth as a mature beautiful unified Body. Transition is not

very exciting really, it’s work! So get ready for some personal work in

your personal lives.

     You will be transformed (transitioned) because you are chosen.

     Cast it all on me and I will do it!
