It’s Your Decision

Thursday, March 17th, 2016

In Galatians chapter 6 Paul wrote:

7 Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap.

8 For he who sows to his flesh will of the flesh reap corruption, but he who sows to the Spirit will of the Spirit reap everlasting life.

9 And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart.

10 Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all, especially to those who are of the household of faith.

It is your decision whether you walk in the flesh or walk in THE SPIRIT.  If you had no decision, these options would not be placed here to be contemplated.  Those who would say you have no choice are disregarding many Scriptures similar to the one above.  If you had no choice then what would be the point of most of Christ’s teachings?

Your decisions can be permissible but not profitable.  FATHER will not force you to walk in Love but gives you the choice and the ramifications of that choice.  Yes, HE permits you to choose death but urges us all to choose life.   Paul urges us to choose life and walk in THE SPIRIT in chapter 5:

22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,

23 gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law.

24 And those who are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.

25 If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.

26 Let us not become conceited, provoking one another, envying one another.

The last fruit mentioned is self-control: the ability to control oneself, in particular one’s emotions and desires or the expression of them in one’s behavior, especially in difficult situations.  We each have a decision to “control” self on a daily basis.  As we decide to no longer allow “self” to prevail, we will begin to gain strength in the areas of weakness.  If you have problems in your thought life then say to your self “I am not going to think about this anymore.” and consciously focus on pure thoughts.  This may take more than once to show your flesh you mean business.

The Law of sowing and reaping began when FATHER created the earth and continues to this very day.  If you sow blessing toward others, you reap blessing in your life.  If you are constantly plagued by turmoil, consider your past words and actions for there is probably where you will find the seeds that are now producing fruit.  If you sow fleshly seed you will reap corruption as Paul writes in the above passage.

Become a “long-term” oriented person who understands the need to let patience have its perfect work.  Farmers know this all too well as they plant crops and understand the basics of producing a crop.  Time is a crucial factor.  As you begin walking in Love and being Love you will begin to see other fruit of THE SPIRIT spring forth.  When Love is your focus, joy bursts forth and you walk in peace even though those around you are in turmoil.  Love moves you to become longsuffering with those who have yet to walk in the same manner.  You can see them battling the two “I’s” Paul speaks of in Romans chapter 7.

Kindness and goodness come forth as a result of the Love walk and the seeds sown in this manner.  Faithfulness and trust are direct results of your intimate relationship with FATHER knowing that it is HIS Good Will and pleasure to work in you and through you.  You begin to realize that HE brings forth resources to accomplish those things your calling requires.  You know that HE will deliver you out of any circumstance that may arise.  But it all gets back to your decision on whether you pursue a relationship with HIM or trust in your own faculties and flesh.

FATHER gave the children of Israel this very choice and expressed the consequences in Deuteronomy chapter 30:

15 “See, I have set before you today life and good, death and evil,

16 in that I command you today to love the LORD your God, to walk in His ways, and to keep His commandments, His statutes, and His judgments, that you may live and multiply; and the LORD your God will bless you in the land which you go to possess.

17 But if your heart turns away so that you do not hear, and are drawn away, and worship other gods and serve them,

18 I announce to you today that you shall surely perish; you shall not prolong your days in the land which you cross over the Jordan to go in and possess.

19 I call heaven and earth as witnesses today against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing; therefore choose life, that both you and your descendants may live;

20 that you may love the LORD your God, that you may obey His voice, and that you may cling to Him, for He is your life and the length of your days; and that you may dwell in the land which the LORD swore to your fathers, to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, to give them.”

Progressing Forward

Wednesday, March 16th, 2016

In Philippians chapter 3, Paul wrote:

3 For we are the circumcision, who worship God in the Spirit, rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh,

4 though I also might have confidence in the flesh. If anyone else thinks he may have confidence in the flesh, I more so: 5 circumcised the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of the Hebrews; concerning the law, a Pharisee; 6 concerning zeal, persecuting the church; concerning the righteousness which is in the law, blameless.

7 But what things were gain to me, these I have counted loss for Christ.

8 Yet indeed I also count all things loss for the excellence of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them as rubbish, that I may gain Christ.

How would you like to have lived your life pursuing one direction only to find out you were on the wrong path?  That is what happened to Paul.  He recounts his previous life and understanding in verses 4 through 6.  At the time he believed he was doing the right thing and was aggressively pursuing his career.  Then suddenly Jesus showed up and revealed the Truth and the Way to Paul (who was Saul).  Once Paul received the revelation of Christ, his past experience and training no longer mattered.  He was quick to throw out his previous belief system in order to embrace the revelation of Jesus Christ.  The resurrection of Christ made the difference in his life and he was a changed man.

9 and be found in Him, not having my own righteousness, which is from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which is from God by faith;

10 that I may know Him and the power of His resurrection, and the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to His death,

11 if, by any means, I may attain to the resurrection from the dead.

Faith in FATHER’S Word is now the basis by which Paul lives.  It was made manifest in Jesus and its power resurrected Jesus from the dead.  The blessed resurrection is the result of FATHER’S Love and faith thus we should place our emphasis in that same Love and faith which produces life, restoration, and healing.  Paul’s education and previous pursuits were thought to be assets to him but instead they were truly liabilities.  He had to put off the old man and we need to do the same.  We should focus on FATHER’S Character as the source of HIS Ways.

Each day we should wake up expecting to receive something fresh and relevant for the day.  We should expect FATHER to show us something HE deems important to us. IN HIM we have our being and HE is willing to impart Sacred knowledge to us as we are ready, able, and willing to receive such mysteries.  We must set aside the traditions of man and know what Scripture says versus what man tells us.  Some would have you believe that you must be highly intelligent to understand certain mysteries they are expounding.  They use this ploy to exalt themselves above others.  Some would attempt to prophesy in a convincing manner but you must regard and inspect their fruit to determine if they are really called to the prophetic ministry.

Those who exclaim “thus saith THE LORD” are accountable and responsible for their words.  We are to observe and witness the results to see if they are truly prophets.  Paul’s encounter with Christ on the road to Damascus was proof who Jesus was and is.  Once he had that encounter, all of his previous education and doctrine was counted as loss. 

12 Not that I have already attained, or am already perfected; but I press on, that I may lay hold of that for which Christ Jesus has also laid hold of me.

13 Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended; but one thing I do,forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead,

14 I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.

What is the upward call?  To be Love as Christ is Love.  This IS the character of FATHER manifested for the benefit of all mankind.  This is the righteousness which is from FATHER and by faith we can walk in the same manner as Jesus Christ for He perfected the Covenant by His Blood.  We are to put on Christ and be a blessing to mankind.  We should bring forth life rather than suck the life out of others.  When you encounter people are you looking for ways to extract resources from them or asking FATHER what it is that HE would want to bring forth as a blessing to them?  Are you devising schemes for personal enrichment or are you looking for opportunities to bless?

Put away those fleshly desire of the old man and put on Christ.  It is time to progress forward and remove anything that would hinder your Love walk.  Remember:

Galatians 6:7 Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap.

8 For he who sows to his flesh will of the flesh reap corruption, but he who sows to the Spirit will of the Spirit reap everlasting life.

9 And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart.

10 Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all, especially to those who are of the household of faith.

Being Useful

Tuesday, March 15th, 2016

In Hebrews chapter 6:

7 Land that drinks in the rain often falling on it and that produces a crop useful to those for whom it is farmed receives the blessing of God.

8 But land that produces thorns and thistles is worthless and is in danger of being cursed. In the end it will be burned.

We are called to be useful just as the land is used to produce fruit for consumption.  Everyone wants to receive blessings from FATHER but there are far less whose hearts desire to be a blessing to others.  They “talk the talk” but don’t “walk the walk”.  Babies have no conscious intent to serve anyone for they only focus on being fed, entertained, and have their soiled diapers changed.

Land that produces “bad” fruit is worthless and will go through the fire of cleansing.  It would have been better to produce no fruit than requiring energy to clear the land of bad fruit.  People who cause division, contention, and consume the resources of others are warned of their fate.

9 Even though we speak like this, dear friends, we are convinced of better things in your case—the things that have to do with salvation.

10 God is not unjust; he will not forget your work and the love you have shown him as you have helped his people and continue to help them.

11 We want each of you to show this same diligence to the very end, so that what you hope for may be fully realized.

12 We do not want you to become lazy, but to imitate those who through faith and patience inherit what has been promised.

I too am convinced of better things for those who embrace FATHER’S unfailing Love and become Love themselves.  We must not be lazy and coast for the remainder of our lives but we should reignite the spark FATHER placed in us long ago that we be a blessing to all those we encounter.  We must set aside those issues that arise out of differences of opinion but instead find what we have in common and pursue unity.

Love, faith, and hope in FATHER’S commitment toward us is the primary focus we should embrace.  People are obsessed about other secondary and tertiary issues that in the end don’t really matter.  Get back to the simplicity of the Gospel and be a light unto the world.  Don’t try to manipulate people into aligning with your doctrine but be a blessing to them as they embrace the Way, the Truth, and the Light.  Let not fear of failure hold you back from being fruitful.  Let the water of the Word be absorbed in your “earth” and let it produce good fruit to the point of a 100 fold return.  Purpose to be a blessing to others and look for ways to increase your fruitfulness.

You show FATHER Love as you help others whom HE has created.  You serve HIM by ministering to the needs of others.  It can be done by words of encouragement, by providing needed assistance, and/or meeting financial needs as HE instructs.  The goal is to not only walk in Love, but to be Love and promote life.  That is what good land does.  Just be useful.

A Stern Warning

Monday, March 14th, 2016

This morning I was awaken a few minutes past 3 A.M. and was immediately instructed to arise and write a warning concerning pride.  We find in Job 33:

14 “Indeed God speaks once, Or twice, yet no one notices it.

15 “In a dream, a vision of the night,

When sound sleep falls on men, While they slumber in their beds,

16 Then He opens the ears of men, And seals their instruction,

17 That He may turn man aside from his conduct,

And keep man from pride;

18 He keeps back his soul from the pit,

And his life from passing over into Sheol.”

When FATHER gives men and women revelation or sacred knowledge, they become accountable and responsible for its use.  They are not to exalt themselves by acting as though their calling is above and beyond that of others.  Revelation is given to establish FATHER’S Kingdom not your own.  Revelation is intended to bring all men to a higher state of relationship with FATHER, not a select few.  This is precisely why I encourage everyone to seek HIS Face.  We are all encouraged to come up higher and be lights unto the world and that is why the disciples were mandated to go into all the world.

In Proverbs 16, Wisdom spoke:

18 ​​Pride goes before destruction, ​​And a haughty spirit before a fall.

19 ​​Better to be of a humble spirit with the lowly, ​​Than to divide the spoil with the proud.

​20 ​​He who heeds the word wisely will find good, ​​And whoever trusts in the LORD, happy is he.

When we are better able to hear FATHER, we must maintain a sincere humbleness especially toward those who are having a difficult time hearing HIM.  Each of us has a unique history and those who are mature will not leverage themselves because of their relationship with FATHER.  Love serves others rather than lifting and exalting one’s self.

Again Wisdom spoke in chapter 29:

23 ​​A man’s pride will bring him low,

​​But the humble in spirit will retain honor.

When you exalt yourself above others and entice them to follow you, then you have effectively promoted yourself as others’ source of revelation rather than FATHER.  You have turned men’s eyes away from HIM and that is a very dangerous place to be for it leads to destruction.

In Daniel Chapter 5 Belshazzar the king of Babylon was about to be removed from power.  He was given the writing on the wall because of his pride:

20 But when his heart was lifted up, and his spirit was hardened in pride, he was deposed from his kingly throne, and they took his glory from him.

21 Then he was driven from the sons of men, his heart was made like the beasts, and his dwelling was with the wild donkeys. They fed him with grass like oxen, and his body was wet with the dew of heaven, till he knew that the Most High God rules in the kingdom of men, and appoints over it whomever He chooses.

In 1 John chapter 2, the Beloved Disciple warns us:

15 Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him.

16 For all that is in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—is not of the Father but is of the world.

17 And the world is passing away, and the lust of it; but he who does the will of God abides forever.

We must be vigilant to protect ourselves from pride in its various expressions.  We must critically assess our motives toward others as we minister FATHER’S Words HE shares.  We should minister Love and serve with the sacred knowledge graciously given to us for the purpose of edifying others and lifting them up higher.

Turning From Truth

Sunday, March 13th, 2016

In his second letter to Timothy, Paul wrote:

1 I charge you therefore before God and the Lord Jesus Christ, who will judge the living and the dead at His appearing and His kingdom:

2 Preach the word! Be ready in season and out of season. Convince, rebuke, exhort, with all longsuffering and teaching.

3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers;

4 and they will turn their ears away from the truth, and be turned aside to fables

It is my earnest desire to teach, encourage, and admonish those who read these blogs to adhere to the Truth presented in Scripture with a specific focus of the Words of Jesus.  This is the primary source of sound doctrine which is a set of beliefs that is confirmed by signs, miracles, power, and authority.  All other doctrines simply tickle the ears of those who follow such doctrines and are built on sand that easily washes away with time.

Men can control and manipulate through other doctrines that are not backed by Our Heavenly Father.  They have no true power to perform the words they speak and support but FATHER does as HE spoke to Jeremiah in chapter 1:

12  Then the LORD said to me, “You have seen well, for I am ready to perform My word.”

How many men can truly guarantee performance of their word?  The answer is “none”.  Only FATHER has the inherent power to cause HIS Word to come to pass for HE created Heaven and earth by HIS Word.  If you want to walk in power, you must fully embrace HIS Word in your life.  Once you turn away from the Truth of HIS Word you have taken the path to death and destruction.  The end result will probably not happen immediately but be assured you are squarely on that path.

As I look back at these teachings, their purpose is to “convince, rebuke, and exhort”.  Each day I await FATHER’S instruction on what to write and HE never fails to provide whatever is needed for the reader, including myself, for that day.  If no one else read these writings, I would still be blessed for I am reading these for my own instruction by HIS SPIRIT.  I am a willing vessel to be a conduit for HIS Instruction to us.

Who is turning away from the Truth?  Paul reveals the sad reality in chapter 3:

1 But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come:

2 For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,

3 unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good,

4 traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God,

5 having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away!

You can find every category Paul mentions in today’s news.  These are the perilous times he described.  Consider the first two descriptions: lovers of themselves are those who are self-absorbed and are led by their ego.  The second description “lovers of money” reflect the hoarding and greed that abounds.

Paul warns us there will be those who fall away from the Truth and join those on the path to destruction.  We must be vigilant to assess our focus and be careful to take the narrow “gate” Jesus spoke of:

13 “Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. 14 Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it.”

Truth takes you through the narrow gate whereas all other “doctrines” cause you to turn away from the Truth and thus lead to destruction.  Seek HIS Truth and live.

Fear Not

Saturday, March 12th, 2016

Fear is the lack of faith and trust in FATHER.  In Luke chapter 12 Jesus spoke:

22 Then He said to His disciples, “Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat; nor about the body, what you will put on.

23 Life is more than food, and the body is more than clothing.

24 Consider the ravens, for they neither sow nor reap, which have neither storehouse nor barn; and God feeds them. Of how much more value are you than the birds?

Jesus tells us not to worry about our lives.  Why?  Because we all live beyond these physical bodies and this is such a small aspect of our existence.  Some people are obsessed with their health but if you become spiritually mature, FATHER will guide you to the proper nutrition and exercise to optimize the effect without going overboard.  Others spend inordinate amounts of time searching for the perfect clothing only to find it is out of style in a few short months.  Focus on FATHER and HE will provide the appropriate direction and resources for you to fulfill your purpose on earth.  Jesus continued:

25 And which of you by worrying can add one cubit to his stature?

26 If you then are not able to do the least, why are you anxious for the rest?

We need to be grateful for where HE has placed us in life.  Worry is a state of anxiety and uncertainty over actual or potential problems.  One who worries is predisposed to focus on the problem rather than focus on pursuing FATHER for the solution.  Worry does not change the outcome, it simply lowers your body’s vibrational status which supports life.  That is why people who are constantly worrying tend to have health problems.  Jesus is assuring us that FATHER is specifically concerned about us and our well being:

27 Consider the lilies, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin; and yet I say to you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.

28 If then God so clothes the grass, which today is in the field and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, how much more will He clothe you, O you of little faith?

You cannot walk in fear and faith for they are opposing forces in your life.  Worrying moves you away from great faith and toward “little” faith to the point of no faith.  Stop it!  Know that FATHER has a guardian angel who is mandated to watch over you and intervene at critical points in your life.  I know this for a certainty as I have experienced interventions on my behalf.  Quit worrying about demonic forces for FATHER will deal with them as required.  Focus on your relationship with THE ONE WHO created you for HE watches over you and waits to hear from you.  Fear blocks your ability to hear.

Fear is simply a lack of faith and faith comes by hearing, meditating, and embracing FATHER’S Word and promises to you.  The world attempts to increase fear in order to control us.  They would have us believe that disease is due to the lack of using their drug.  They would have us believe that safety can only come by more government and less freedom.  FATHER will lead you away from danger as you walk in THE SPIRIT.

Jesus gave us a Spiritual key to the above issues:

29 “And do not seek what you should eat or what you should drink, nor have an anxious mind.

30 For all these things the nations of the world seek after, and your Father knows that you need these things.

31 But seek the kingdom of God, and all these things shall be added to you.”

How simple!  People try to complicate the solution but Jesus simplified it in a few words.  Seek FATHER and fear will dissipate.  Faith will replace the fear and you will be able to move mountains in order to fulfill your calling.  Find those deep-seated fears and expose them for what they are.  You were wonderfully made by FATHER and nothing should dissuade you from walking in the fullness of your calling.  Jesus sums up this revelation with:

32 “Do not fear, little flock, for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom.

33 Sell what you have and give alms; provide yourselves money bags which do not grow old, a treasure in the heavens that does not fail, where no thief approaches nor moth destroys.

34 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.”

We are placed on this earth to grow into full Spiritual maturity.  Walking in faith is required to attain such maturity.  Trusting in earthly riches does not promote faith but actually promotes fear of the future.  When you physically pass away, your earthly riches get distributed.  Why not distribute wealth according to FATHER’S purpose rather than the alternative?  Show me your check book and your daily detailed calendar and I will show you where your heart is and what your priorities are.  They will attest to either faith or fear.

Let Your Light Shine Forth

Friday, March 11th, 2016

In Matthew chapter 5, Jesus spoke:

14 “You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden.

15 Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house.

16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.”

We have extremely good news for a world that is growing darker day by day.  FATHER is still on the Throne and we need to convey HIS Love to the world through whatever manner is available to us.  Technology has provided us one such avenue but “one on one” is still the most effective way.  Men and women need the human contact to fully embrace FATHER’S Love for them.

Many of the brethren have spent years studying and researching every nook and cranny of the Word.  Some have acquired large libraries of Christian books and associated reference tools.  In some cases it has become somewhat of an obsession to find the next hidden mystery and report to whomever.  I say to you it is time to graduate from school and get out there and do something for the rest of mankind.  After all, Jesus did not say to go into all the libraries and find the latest books about Him.

We need to change people’s lives for the better.  That is what Love does.  We need to be Love in the eyes of those searching for meaning.  Self-absorbing activities simply delay your mandate to be a light unto all the world.

Actions speak louder than words.  Yes, you should share the Gospel but you should also be an example of HIS Love.  Help others out without expecting anything in return.  There are a number of things you can do if you will simply look around.  Jesus put it this way:

Matthew 25:32 All the nations will be gathered before Him, and He will separate them one from another, as a shepherd divides his sheep from the goats.

33 And He will set the sheep on His right hand, but the goats on the left.

34 Then the King will say to those on His right hand, ‘Come, you blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:

35 for I was hungry and you gave Me food; I was thirsty and you gave Me drink; I was a stranger and you took Me in;

36 I was naked and you clothed Me; I was sick and you visited Me; I was in prison and you came to Me.’

Don’t get me wrong, I am not against studying, fellowshipping, and other such activities that promote greater maturity and unity but at some point it is time to “be Love” rather than just studying about it and other topics.  We are called to go into the world, not sit on the couch surfing the TV channels or Internet all night.  There is plenty of need out there if you will simply look around.

If I have stirred up your spirit to do something, just do it!  You can start by sending a blind email of this link to encourage others to let their light shine brighter.  There is plenty of need out there and we are the personal representatives of The Kingdom.  Let our lights shine forth!

Agents of Change

Thursday, March 10th, 2016

An agent is a person or thing that takes an active role or produces a specified effect and we are called to be agents of change.  In Mark 16, Jesus spoke:

15 And He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature.

16 He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned.

17 And these signs will follow those who believe: In My name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues;

18 they will take up serpents; and if they drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.”

This great commission is meant for all of us to participate in some fashion.  There are some who are to be on the front line and go out and there are others who are called to fund the Gospel.  Some are called to be intercessors whereas others are called to administrate in some fashion.  If we were all in unity, we would be a major force in this world.  If you hold back your resources and calling, you are disqualifying yourself as an “agent of change”.

There are no “Lone Rangers” out there called to do their own thing.  It takes all of the Body of Christ to bring forth the Kingdom.  We are called to reveal the Divine unconditional Love of FATHER toward all of mankind.  Learning how to Love and be Love is the purpose for all of mankind to embrace.  Consider the result of this unconditional Love spreading throughout the earth.  What would happen if those with resources unconditionally gave to those who have embraced Love but without resources.  Clearly FATHER will further reveal the opportunities as men and women step out in faith.  The problem is most people are simply waiting on a sign rather than embracing the Words of Jesus Christ, the manifested and revealed Intent of FATHER.  What more do we really need?

There is a small but faithful group of givers who support this ministry and I am truly grateful.  No matter what the dollar amount, FATHER looks at their hearts and is pleased with their willingness to give.  Unlike sitting in a Church sanctuary where there is pressure to open the wallet, those who give here do it on their own accord.  They understand Kingdom finance and economics.  Paul wrote in 2 Corinthians chapter 9:

6 But this I say: He who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and he who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully.

7 So let each one give as he purposes in his heart, not grudgingly or of necessity; for God loves a cheerful giver.

8 And God is able to make all grace abound toward you, that you, always having all sufficiency in all things, may have an abundance for every good work.

9 As it is written:

​​​“He has dispersed abroad,

​​He has given to the poor;

​​His righteousness endures forever.”

​10 Now may He who supplies seed to the sower, and bread for food, supply and multiply the seed you have sown and increase the fruits of your righteousness,

11 while you are enriched in everything for all liberality, which causes thanksgiving through us to God.

12 For the administration of this service not only supplies the needs of the saints, but also is abounding through many thanksgivings to God,

If you really embrace Love you will then embrace giving.  If you read this blog as a plea then you have missed the point.  This ministry is all about providing you and others with a conduit to facilitate change on this earth.  We have the beginnings of an infrastructure to unify the Body through technology such as the unity153.net site.  However, more people and resources are needed to truly take the effort to the next level.  I am “all in”, what about you?  Are you truly willing to be an agent of change?  Or are you satisfied in continuing in your current state?  The choice is yours.

PS:  Don’t shoot the messenger.

The Importance of Relationship

Wednesday, March 9th, 2016

In Matthew chapter 6 Jesus spoke:

8 “Therefore do not be like them. For your Father knows the things you have need of before you ask Him. 9 In this manner, therefore, pray:

​​​Our Father in heaven,

​​Hallowed be Your name.

10 ​​Your kingdom come.

​​Your will be done

​​On earth as it is in heaven.

11 ​​Give us this day our daily bread.

12 ​​And forgive us our debts,

​​As we forgive our debtors.

13 ​​And do not lead us into temptation,

​​But deliver us from the evil one.

​​For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.”

Jesus specifically expressed the Truth of THE LORD GOD ALMIGHTY is OUR FATHER yet people continually call HIM by the most generic name of GOD.  Wouldn’t that be similar to me calling you man or woman and never calling you by an intimate and personal name?  The term “FATHER” denotes relationship and attributes reverence and respect to the ONE WHO brought me forth.

Jesus continued:

14 “For if you forgive men their trespasses, your Heavenly Father will also forgive you.

15 But if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.”

When you pray or when you refer to HIM, shouldn’t you reverence HIM by addressing HIM as FATHER?  HE does know that HE is your father but you should reinforce that reality with reverence when speaking to HIM or about HIM.  HIS “proper” name is LORD GOD ALMIGHTY as we see in Revelation chapter 4:

8 The four living creatures, each having six wings, were full of eyes around and within. And they do not rest day or night, saying:

​​​“Holy, holy, holy,

​​Lord God Almighty,

​​Who was and is and is to come!”

What kind of relationship are you promoting with the words of your mouth?  HE once told me in the midst of my 10 year time of prayer in the 1990’s “Don’t call ME GOD!   MY name is either FATHER or LORD GOD ALMIGHTY, you choose which one to address ME by.”  I chose FATHER.  That is HIS relationship to me for I am HIS son.  Once you embrace this Truth, your spirit will note every time you hear someone address HIM solely as GOD, especially someone in the ministry.  You may say that I am splitting hairs but if it were not important HE would not have corrected me during prayer.  Thankfully HE was not upset at HIS son but simply wanted me to grow spiritually in my relationship with HIM.  Now you know why I always capitalize and reference to HIM in these blogs.  It is out of pure reverence, honor, and respect.

The Cleansing Cycle

Tuesday, March 8th, 2016

Psalm 19:7 ​​The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul;

​​The testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple;

8 ​​The statutes of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart;

​​The commandment of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes;

9 ​​The fear of the LORD is clean, enduring forever;

​​The judgments of the LORD are true and righteous altogether.

10 ​​More to be desired are they than gold, ​​Yea, than much fine gold;

​​Sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb.

11 ​​Moreover by them Your servant is warned,

​​And in keeping them there is great reward.

Our souls need cleansed and converted.  When we are born again our souls must be dealt with and changed.  Our mind, will, and emotions are like gates that allow outside influences to come into us and impact our essence.  For example, if you are around a negative person all the time they will ultimately have a negative impact on you.  You may begin to take on their character to some degree.  You become like the company you keep.

In Genesis chapter 1 God said, “Let there be light”; and there was light.  FATHER’S Words are filled with power and those Words vibrate with life.  This vibration is found in every Word of FATHER throughout Scripture.  Jesus spoke with this same power.  When you quote the Words of Jesus, you are cleansing and correcting your soul and your body with vibrating power causing your body to operate at a higher frequency.  The higher frequency brings forth healing and health.  We saw this in EDS testing of energy meridians in the body.

Toxins cause the body to operate at a lower vibration.  Toxins include chemicals, bacteria, fungi, metals, molds, etc.  They also include adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies,  envy, murders,drunkenness, and revelries at the soul level (Galatians 5).  So toxins whether at the physical or soulish level will cause your body’s vibrational level to decline and operate at a lower level.  The results is sickness and dis-ease.

When I contracted hepatitis from shellfish in 1984, FATHER put me on a cleansing cycle to increase my vibrational level.  I had overextended myself in work and needed rest but pressed on.  HE warned me to slow down but I postponed it to my regret.  FATHER’S instructions directed me to immerse myself in HIS Word on healing.  It immediately began to affect my vibrational level to move it to a higher level and healing resulted in a supernatural manner.

Jesus operated at the highest vibrational state and when the woman with the issue of blood tapped into His vibrational state, she was immediately healed.  This state has many aspects but its effect is to increase energy and power flow in the body.  People use physical means to simulate the same result with essential oils, magnets, and other means.  The problem is those alternative means do not address the root of the problem.  The problem must be “cleansed” by HIS Word and converting the soul.  In HIS Word is great reward.

The Psalmist ask the question in chapter 19 and then provides the answer:

12 ​​Who can understand his errors?

​​Cleanse me from secret faults.

13 ​​Keep back Your servant also from presumptuous sins;

​​Let them not have dominion over me.

​​Then I shall be blameless,

​​And I shall be innocent of great transgression.

​14 ​​Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart

​​Be acceptable in Your sight,

​​O LORD, my strength and my Redeemer.

The Law of Love is perfect and as we dwell on it day and night our health will improve and the would-be invaders will have no place in us.  FATHER will cleanse us and we will then walk with purity of purpose and our soul and body will prosper and be in good health.
