The World’s Futility

Monday, October 7th, 2019

Jesus spoke in Mark chapter 10:

27 But Jesus looked at them and said, “With men it is impossible, but not with God; for with God all things are possible.”

FATHER spoke in Isaiah chapter 55:

8 ​​“For My thoughts are not your thoughts,

​​Nor are your ways My ways,” says the LORD.

9 ​​“For as the heavens are higher than the earth,

​​So are My ways higher than your ways,

​​And My thoughts than your thoughts.”​

10 ​​“For as the rain comes down, and the snow from heaven,

​​And do not return there,

​​But water the earth,

​​And make it bring forth and bud,

​​That it may give seed to the sower

​​And bread to the eater,

11 ​​So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth;

​​It shall not return to Me void,

​​But it shall accomplish what I please,

​​And it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it.”

As we fully trust The Holy Spirit within us, we will rely on being led by THE SPIRIT and fully expect everything we speak to come to pass according to FATHER’S Word.  Unbelief will no longer be found within us because we will walk in Agape Love and great faith.

In the past, the church’s teachings did not promote such a level of maturity from which I speak.  Men’s egos would subtly suppress any path which removed reliance on men’s counsels and reasonings.  It was true when Jesus walked the earth and it is true today.  However, FATHER’S plan, will, and purpose will not be denied but is accomplishing Its intent in the lives of The Remnant.

As we continue in HIS Word, we will slowly but surely pierce the veil of darkness which has kept us from fully embracing the various aspects of establishing the Kingdom on earth.  Light will begin to shine brighter and our understanding will no longer be darkened.

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,

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

There is a gross darkness among those who walk according to the world and they walk in utter futility.  They continually redefine Truth to fit their ever changing values and promote total confusion among the weak, the uninformed, and immature.  FATHER calls them “fools”.  Only the light of The Word can shine on their error and the Remnant is given the mandate to bring forth that Light.

Will there be resistance?  Most assuredly, but we trust in FATHER’S Word to lead and guide us through such resistance.  Our faith in FATHER’S ability to cause HIS Word to come to pass will assure us of success.  There is no greater power or authority in the universe as FATHER has revealed HIS invisible attributes for all to see.  Man has no excuse.

As we understand this reality of futility spewing forth from men’s mouths, we will not be moved by their rhetoric.  The error of their reasonings will not tempt us to respond by debating or arguing.  The world will seek to draw us into the soulish realm, away from being led by THE SPIRIT.  There will be times when it seems that there is virtually no one else who seeks to be led by THE SPIRIT.  I assure you that FATHER is raising up HIS Remnant and you are not alone.

Each of us who are called are at various stages of maturity but will be fully prepared when the fullness of time arrives.  Each of us has a unique calling and FATHER is preparing us according to our specific purposes.  All things are possible with Our Heavenly Father and we place our trust in HIS methods and ways to address the darkness.  Our lights will shine bright and expose the foolishness and futility of those who have chosen to pursue the world’s way.  HIS Kingdom is coming and will encompass the earth for HIS Word will not return to HIM void.

The Greatest Revival

Saturday, October 5th, 2019

To revive means: to restore to consciousness or life; to restore from a depressed, inactive, or unused state: bring back; to renew in the mind or memory.  In the broadest sense, a revival will bring us to a state before the fall of man.  We will return to a state when FATHER knew us before HE formed us in the womb.  There are lesser forms of revival within the context of the great revival.

It is written by THE SPIRIT in 2 Chronicles chapter 7:

14 if My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land.

To revive means: to restore to consciousness or life; to restore from a depressed, inactive, or unused state: bring back; to renew in the mind or memory.  In the broadest sense, a revival will bring us to a state before the fall of man.  We will return to a state when FATHER knew us before HE formed us in the womb.  There are lesser forms of revival within the context of the great revival.

In the following link, Jonathan does an excellent job of describing today’s environment and how the world wants to promote confusion resulting in the persecution of the “called out” ones.  Our Heavenly Father will lead, guide, and protect us as the darkness grows around us.

The World’s Blindness

Friday, October 4th, 2019

Paul wrote by THE SPIRIT in 2 Corinthians chapter 4:

1 Therefore, since we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we do not lose heart.

2 But we have renounced the hidden things of shame, not walking in craftiness nor handling the word of God deceitfully, but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man’s conscience in the sight of God.

Who walked in craftiness and handled The Word deceitfully?  The devil did when he tried to tempt Jesus in the wilderness.  He did the same thing in the Garden of Eden.  Deceit is intended to gain control for the purpose of self interest.  Those who walk in craftiness and deceit are blinded from The Truth and do not want the light of transparency to shine on their activities.  The current political, financial, and religious systems are promoting craftiness and deceit thus they will suffer collapse when The Kingdom’s light shines in the brightness of Christ’s coming as Paul wrote by THE SPIRIT in 1 Corinthians chapter 15:

20 But now Christ is risen from the dead, and has become the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep.

21 For since by man came death, by Man also came the resurrection of the dead. 22 For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ all shall be made alive.

23 But each one in his own order: Christ the firstfruits, afterward those who are Christ’s at His coming.

24 Then comes the end, when He delivers the kingdom to God the Father, when He puts an end to all rule and all authority and power.

25 For He must reign till He has put all enemies under His feet.

26 The last enemy that will be destroyed is death.

Those of us who have eyes to see and understand the importance of walking in the transparency of The Word will be among those Sons and Daughters destined to be included in “Christ’s at His coming”.  We long for the full manifestation of this fulfillment.

Continuing in 2 Corinthians chapter 4:

3 But even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing,

4 whose minds the god of this age has blinded, who do not believe, lest the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine on them.

We are not warring against flesh and blood, but against the despotisms (the exercise of absolute power, especially in a cruel and oppressive way), against the powers, against the spirits who are the world rulers of this present darkness, against the spirit forces of wickedness in the heavenly (supernatural) sphere. 

Agape Love looks beyond the individuals who are subjected to these demonic spirits.  Their blindness is temporary in nature and they will ultimately see the light whether in this age or the next.  The Light of The Word will not be denied access for It is superior and at a higher level than the darkness found in the world.

5 For we do not preach ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord, and ourselves your bondservants for Jesus’ sake.

6 For it is the God who commanded light to shine out of darkness, who has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.

Neither do I preach myself but Christ Jesus my Lord for I too am a bondservant for Jesus’ sake.  I have no interest in exalting anyone but Our Lord Jesus Christ for He alone brought forth the light into my life and exposed the darkness in my heart.  I embrace the sifting and purification process of my heart that I may be found worthy to be a light bearer on His behalf.  I have renounced all shameful acts, craftiness, manipulations, and deceit of the past for I am a new creation in Christ Jesus. 

We must not allow the adversary to bring up our past in an attempt to convince us of our unworthiness for we are covered by The Blood of Our Lord Jesus Christ.  The accuser of the brethren has nothing against you or me so let us give him no place or authority in our life.

Starting Each Day

Thursday, October 3rd, 2019

Paul wrote by THE SPIRIT in 2 Corinthians chapter 10:

3 For though we walk (live) in the flesh, we are not carrying on our warfare according to the flesh and using mere human weapons.

4 For the weapons of our warfare are not physical [weapons of flesh and blood], but they are mighty before God for the overthrow and destruction of strongholds,

5 [Inasmuch as we] refute arguments and theories and reasonings and every proud and lofty thing that sets itself up against the [true] knowledge of God; and we lead every thought and purpose away captive into the obedience of Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One)

We are to use the power of GOD to pull down strongholds, not by arguing, theorizing, or reasoning.  Men use the faculties they have in trying to deal with major issues in their lives, often in complete failure.

As we fully embrace and submit to The Word, we begin to tap into that power which is resident in the Living Word.  It is my belief our day should begin with the renewing of our mind by The Word.  This establishes our mind for the day as we are exposed to the world’s confusion (aka Babylon).

Paul wrote by THE SPIRIT in Colossians chapter 3:

1 If then you were raised with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ is, sitting at the right hand of God.

2 Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth.

3 For you died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God.

It we are to have the mind of Christ, we should seek those things which are above and renew our mind daily.  We are not to focus on Moses, David, or other patriarchs but solely on Jesus Christ for it was solely His work that redeemed us.  His wounds took away our transgressions, His bruises sufficiently addressed our iniquities, and His stripes made full provision for our healing resulting in us being made whole.  No other could have satisfied these requirements so we should keep Our Lord Jesus Christ at the forefront of our adoration and attention!

We must not allow ourselves to be compromised and lose our intensity of pressing in to a higher level of revelation.  We must overcome all obstacles that are placed before us meant to take away our focus and intensity.  Evil reports by the enemy will try to redirect our thinking.  Past failures will be brought by the accuser.  He will use every device in an attempt to dissuade us from pursuing the fullness of our calling.

The Beloved Disciple wrote in the Revelation of Jesus Christ chapter 2:

17 …To him who overcomes I will give some of the hidden manna to eat. And I will give him a white stone, and on the stone a new name written which no one knows except him who receives it.

The white stone is the hidden name of Christ, The Word of God.  They kept the Word and, by it they were kept. 

In Psalm 119:11 “Thy Word have I hid in my heart, that I might not sin against Thee.”  It is a Living Word, a Living Power, that transforms you into His image and reveals to us our true heritage in Christ!  It is simply DIVINE REVELATION!  That is the inner name within ourselves.   Our Lord Jesus has an outer name, and so will His overcoming ones have an outer name, and it will be in harmony with His inner one just as His is.

Let us strengthen our inner man daily by “hiding” the Word in our hearts.  I start each day by immersing myself in FATHER’S Word.  The result is HIS peace prevails in my heart.  The chaos of the world no longer affects me as it once did.  I trust it will do the same for you no matter what is happening in your life.

Tested And Proved Faithful

Tuesday, October 1st, 2019

The aspiring Sons and Daughters of GOD must be willing to embrace afflictions.  Those who truly desire to be one with Christ shall themselves be incorruptible.

Paul wrote by THE SPIRIT in 1 Corinthians chapter 15:

50 Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; nor does corruption inherit incorruption.

51 Behold, I tell you a mystery: We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed—

52 in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.

53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.

54 So when this corruptible has put on incorruption, and this mortal has put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written: “Death is swallowed up in victory.”

We have been called and chosen thus we must be faithful when tested in the “furnace” of affliction, we must be proven under pressure and allow ourselves to  purged, sifted, refined, purified, molded and fashioned into the very nature and character of Our Lord Jesus Christ.  As we allow ourselves to be proven, only then shall we reign with Christ as true overcomers.

How many siftings must we experience?  In Luke chapter 22, Jesus spoke:

31 And the Lord said, “Simon, Simon! Indeed, Satan has asked for you, that he may sift you as wheat.

32 But I have prayed for you, that your faith should not fail; and when you have returned to Me, strengthen your brethren.”

33 But he said to Him, “Lord, I am ready to go with You, both to prison and to death.”

34 Then He said, “I tell you, Peter, the rooster shall not crow this day before you will deny three times that you know Me.”

Peter’s level of self interest and preservation were being tested.  He expected Jesus to prevail over the current establishment for he had seen the power and authority of Jesus time and time again.  By two or three witnesses, everything is established.  Peter’s spirit man was weaker than his soulish man.  Jesus agreed to Satan’s request even though Satan did not realize that this sifting was part of FATHER’S plan to build Peter up after the ascension.  Peter’s calling would be strengthened after the sifting.

I could not express the following better than Brother Eby who recently wrote:

  These are the days in which God is preparing a people to reign in the kingdom of God over all things.  These will have to be those who are washed in the blood of the Lamb.  They will be those who have been filled with all the fullness of God.  They will be those who have learned to be led only and always by the Spirit.  They will be those who have kept His word and walked according to His will.  This company of people will be one with God in mind, heart, and purpose.  They will have put on the mind of Christ and their own will shall have given way to His will in all things. 

The people whom God shall use to reign over the nations and the universe, bringing God’s kingdom to pass in all realms, will be a strong people.  They will be a holy people.  They will be a compassionate and loving people.  They will be those who live in the presence of God and breathe in union with Jesus Christ.

             Those who reign with Christ cannot be tossed to and fro by every wind of doctrine, nor deceived by every great sounding theory of man that poses as a good scheme of ministry or as deep revelation.  They will not be moved by smooth-tongued orators or fast-talking deceivers.  They will perceive the hearts and motivations of men and understand the true nature of all things.  God is not interested so much in what is going on today within the church systems of men.  God does not want just anybody to go out and do signs, wonders, and miracles.  He is preparing an incorruptible order of people to do these things on a level never seen before. 

There are many miracles and good works done in the name of Jesus by men whom the Father has not sent.  But these men receive at least a portion of the glory, and use their power over men to suck them into their own little kingdom.  God is very selective in this hour of those He chooses to manifest His power in the earth.  Not just anybody is suitable.  God trains and chooses in many ways.  Moses was in the backside of the desert for forty years.  David went through many years of battles and trials and testings to be eligible for the throne to which God elevated him.

            God is shaping our lives with a view to the future.  What is happening to each son of God today has a bearing on what his role will be in the kingdom of God throughout the ages to come.  Our present travail will be easier to bear when we understand this truth.  A crown prince cannot live like other people.  When the crown prince of Great Britain is born, he is a marked child from the day of his birth.  He is different from other children. His education, his way of dress, what he is taught in the home, his associations, his activities, where he goes and when and how, his leisure time — everything about his life is planned to prepare him to be a king!  The man or woman called to sonship cannot be like other people or other of God’s children any longer.  God has a special plan for this one! 

The truth is that a son of God marches to a different tune than his contemporaries.  He hears the band playing the march of victory.  He stays in line with those enChristed ones who march with him.  He keeps in step with his leader, Jesus Christ.  He marches to the music of the celestials.  He marches in the procession of Christ.  His music is the music of the kingdom.  Because this is a  different kind of marching from that of those in the carnal church systems of man, he is often out of step with them.  They are not all marching to the same place! 

Most Christians are marching to a place in the sky with golden streets, palm branches and harps, and spacious mansions over the hill-top, to sing and dance and play and frolic for eternity.  Sons do not have time for such frivolity, for they are marching to the throne of the universe, to a position of eminence, power, authority, responsibility, and eternal glory as lords and kings and priests and creators after the likeness of their eternal Father.  Their business is not dancing over the hillsides of glory, but bringing the kingdom of God to pass throughout the infinity of God’s vast universe!  -End quote
