Memories from 3 years ago

My daughter joins me on a 5K Glow Run at night.  What great memories!

Our Primary Purpose

Sunday, March 6th, 2016

In Genesis Chapter 1, FATHER expressed HIS Divine Intent when HE spoke:

27 So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.

28 Then God blessed them, and God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it; have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over every living thing that moves on the earth.”

Our primary purpose is to become Spiritually mature so that we can fulfill FATHER’S Divine Intent in HIS first spoken Word to Adam.  Jesus waited until He was 30 years old to come forth in His ministry but when He did, He was fruitful and His message was “multiplied” as it is even today.

In order for us to come into full maturity we must take on the same attributes as Jesus, the true visible expression of FATHER.  This is the point of all of these writings on Love and those who continue on with this journey should expect change for the better.  Those who are self-absorbed will shy away and focus on other writings to tickle their ears and stroke their ego.

Self-centeredness will not satisfy FATHER’S mandate to be fruitful.  Think about it.  Fruit from a tree isn’t to supply the tree itself but it is meant to be a blessing to those who hunger.  The purpose of plants is to give substance and promote life to the recipient.  What a fundamental concept!  Those people with wealth tend to restrict the flow to others in order that they assure themselves of their own future thus they also water down their need to have trust and faith in FATHER.  Others with no wealth will often prey on those with wealth hoping to extract resources.  They too have little or no faith.  Life is about giving, not taking.

FATHER is always here an ready to bless those who trust in HIM.  Those who pursue the fullness of HIS Love will be rewarded with power and authority to carry out HIS mandate of being fruitful and multiplying.  Paul urged us to come into full maturity in Ephesians chapter 4:

14 that we should no longer be children, tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, in the cunning craftiness of deceitful plotting,

15 but, speaking the truth in love, may grow up in all things into Him who is the head—Christ—

16 from whom the whole body, joined and knit together by what every joint supplies, according to the effective working by which every part does its share, causes growth of the body for the edifying of itself in love.

Divine unconditional Love will increase the energy level in your body.  Bitterness, unforgiveness, and selfishness will lower your energy level.  During the 15 years of my interaction with Dr. Speckhart who had a record of 90% in the healing of cancer, I saw firsthand how the body responds to the Spiritual.  Children who have no negative feelings to anyone always tested at a high energy (frequency, vibration) level.  One man who was 3 weeks away from death due to stage 4 cancer tested at a notably low energy level.  Dr. Speckhart had over 3,000 case files proving this Spiritual point.  Love raises your frequency and removes interference thus promoting healing and health.

As we pursue our quest to become fully mature in Love, we will see positive changes in our lives.  Jesus walked 100% in Divine unconditional Love and His example is the one where we should always place our focus.  Paul contrast works of death to works of life (and health) in Galatians chapter 5:

19 Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness,

20 idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies,

21 envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.

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.

The choices you make everyday reinforce your direction one way or the other.  As you continue to hold grudges, promote division, exalt yourself by word and/or deed, you are making decisions affecting your future, your path, and your health.  The children of Israel were given this very decision 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.”

You do have the choice to walk according to HIS Purpose and live.

Being Fully Equipped

Saturday, March 5th, 2016

Paul wrote in Philippians chapter 4:

13 I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.

As we encounter all aspects of life, FATHER is interested in bringing us into full Spiritual maturity but it must have a solid foundation of Love.  Paul understood this Truth.  FATHER will empower us as HE can trust us with power and authority so that we will further HIS Kingdom and not our own agenda.  As we align ourselves with HIM HE will supply all our need according to HIS riches and resources.

Unbelief is what restricts the flow and the soulish man would keep us in unbelief in order that the ego would prevail.  Jesus was the pattern Son for being able to “do all things” and we must aspire to walk in the same manner.  Jesus said in John chapter 14:

12 “Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father.

13 And whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.

14 If you ask anything in My name, I will do it.”

Until you totally believe these words Jesus spoke you will be challenged to fully believe Paul’s confirming statement above.  Greater works includes “I can do all things” because those who are fully aligned with FATHER will do and want only HIS Will and not their own.  The Great Commission is FATHER’S specific Will and purpose for Jesus stated only FATHER’S Will.

Are you moving in the direction of doing FATHER’S Will or are you pursuing your own agenda?  Are you promoting the Kingdom or are you promoting yourself?  Are you financially supporting the Works of Christ or are you hoarding your resources?  Works of Christ include ministering salvation, giving to others, helping those in need, healing the sick, and other such activities that expand the purpose of Love.

Paul, when he was Saul, was most interested in propelling himself to notoriety rather than serving mankind.  His encounter with Jesus changed all that.  He became grateful rather than demanding.  His view on life went from being served and exalted to becoming a servant of no reputation.  He gave Christ the glory when it came to “doing all things”.

We must trust in Christ which means we are trusting in FATHER.  How can you fully trust in someone unless you know their character?  As you study and meditate on Jesus’ words and actions you will know the character of FATHER.  When you have fully aligned yourself with FATHER,  HE will fully respond to you, strengthen you, and empower you to do HIS Will.

Economic Update

Friday, March 4th, 2016

Some of you recall that I have written many blogs about the current economic conditions.  FATHER moved me away from writing in this area and it is apparent why HE did.  The markets are now “rigged” by the central planners.  The law of supply and demand has been in a broken state since the Great Recession of 2007-8. 

The true unemployment in the U.S. is still hovering around 23%.  CEO’S of many public corporations have been using “financial engineering” to make their stock prices look better for personal gain.  Gold and silver prices continue to be suppressed in order to make the fiat currencies look viable. 

Dr. Paul Craig Roberts, former US Treasury Official, recently spoke on the current global environment:

http://kingworldnews.com/dr-paul-craig-roberts-broadcast-interview-available-now-2-27-16/

What is the solution to all the global issues?  Only FATHER has the solution and it is centered around unconditional Love spreading throughout the earth.  HIS Power and authority in the hands of HIS vessels of honor is the only solution.  Who will HE raise up?  Those who fully embrace HIS Word and HIS SPIRIT.  There is no other solution to the complexities of the global issues at hand.  The current system is a house of cards and the wind is getting ready to blow. 

This site is apolitical but politics and economics affect us just as they affected the disciples in the early church.  The economic and social problems at hand will impact virtually every country on earth just as they did in 33 A.D.

Futility

Thursday, March 3rd, 2016

In Ephesians chapter 4 Paul wrote:

17 This I say, therefore, and testify in the Lord, that you should no longer walk as the rest of the Gentiles walk, in the futility of their mind,

18 having their understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God, because of the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart;

19 who, being past feeling, have given themselves over to lewdness, to work all uncleanness with greediness.

The direction of America is described in verse 19.  The recent headlines confirm lewdness, uncleanness, and greediness.  What happened to the country which was founded by Christian forefathers?  Those who have risen to power have had their understanding darkened because of their blindness and they are now walking in the futility of their minds.  Schools are no longer safe.  Shopping malls require much security.  You now go through a gauntlet just to get on a commercial flight.

The rages of World War II brought people back to reality of the need to seek FATHER.  Vessels of dishonor wiped out millions of people for the purpose of world domination.  War is at hand again.  Where is “peace on earth”?  The believers need to rise up and be lights unto the world which currently increases in darkness.  White has become black and black has become white in the speech of those who currently influence the masses.  Their lawlessness is overlooked as believers have become lukewarm.

Paul went on to say:

20 But you have not so learned Christ,

21 if indeed you have heard Him and have been taught by Him, as the truth is in Jesus:

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

23 and be renewed in the spirit of your mind,

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

It is time our lights shined in this land which has been darkened by futility.  Let us awaken in the morning and seek FATHER’S instructions for the day.  Let us put on the full armor and do battle in the areas presented to us individually.  Let us protect our minds from the lewdness, uncleanness, and greediness.  Take captive your thoughts and tell your mind to quit thinking those thoughts which are contrary to the Word.  Lawless actions begin with lawless thoughts.  Lawless acts are ultimately futile because FATHER will take corrective action in some manner.  Don’t think you can be fruitful in a manner contrary to HIS Word.  There may be a temporary success but you will lose in the end.

Be renewed out of the futility that would creep into your consciousness.  Be vigilant to protect your mind from the trash being promoted in the media today.  Be sensitive to THE SPIRIT and you will be protected from the futility enveloping your country.  Let true righteousness and holiness guide your every step and FATHER will open the doors of opportunity for your light to shine in the darkness at hand.

Purpose

Wednesday, March 2nd, 2016

What is the point of your time on earth?  It is to be fruitful, multiply, and have dominion as FATHER told Adam In Genesis chapter 1:

28  Then God blessed them, and God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it; have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over every living thing that moves on the earth.”

The mandate has not changed though man has added and subtracted his own opinion arising out of his soul.  The first of the three aspects of purpose is to be fruitful.  This fruitfulness means to be productive in the area of your gifts and calling.  If you are a carpenter you should look for opportunities to be a blessing in your craft.  If you are an artist you should seek to produce magnificent works in the area of your anointing.  There is an overall mandate that Jesus gave to His disciples which does include all believers.  It is found in Mark chapter 16:

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

This commission is for all believers not just evangelists.  You might say that you don’t feel equipped to preach the Gospel and I say let your actions speak loudly to those you come in contact with on a daily basis.  As you become a blessing with your gifts and attitude, people will inquire about your beliefs.  They will want to know what brings you such peace in your life.  Not all of us are called to the office of evangelist but we can evangelize one at a time.

When you give to a bona fide ministry you are participating in the Great Commission.  My family has supported ministries in the past which have evangelized various parts of Africa, Asia, and South America.  It please FATHER for us to give and support this effort.  The Body of Christ is meant to be a living organism with each part being fruitful in its purposeful manner.  Each part of the Body should give unconditionally to the other parts.

FATHER told Jesus to express the following words in Mark 16:

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.”

Is there any sick among your family or friends?  Have you encountered anyone who appeared to be oppressed by a demon?  When confronted with these situations what did Jesus do?  He healed them all.  What have we been doing?  Recommending the best healthcare professional.  Of late I have been writing in the area of healing and what Jesus taught about it.  It is my belief and experience that the Word has power to cause itself to come to pass but we must know and immerse ourselves in that Word for it to be effective in our lives.  Smith Wigglesworth was a plumber who became a great evangelist.  T.L. Osborn grew up in a small town in Eastern Oklahoma and became a world evangelist.  These were ordinary men FATHER anointed with HIS power to do great works.  We too should expect HIM to use us even if it is one-on-one in ministry.

Let our Love not grow cold but let the Word energize our Love so that we fulfill the purpose given to us before we were formed in the womb.  Embrace your purpose and spend quality time with FATHER for HE is your biggest supporter.  There are none who are sick in Heaven so let us bring Heaven to earth.  Isn’t that one aspect of having dominion?

What Happened to Miracles?

Tuesday, March 1st, 2016

In the Book of Judges chapter 6 we find Gideon:

11 Now the Angel of the LORD came and sat under the terebinth tree which was in Ophrah, which belonged to Joash the Abiezrite, while his son Gideon threshed wheat in the winepress, in order to hide it from the Midianites.

12 And the Angel of the LORD appeared to him, and said to him, “The LORD is with you, you mighty man of valor!”

13 Gideon said to Him, “O my lord, if the LORD is with us, why then has all this happened to us? And where are all His miracles which our fathers told us about, saying, ‘Did not the LORD bring us up from Egypt?’ But now the LORD has forsaken us and delivered us into the hands of the Midianites.”

14 Then the LORD turned to him and said, “Go in this might of yours, and you shall save Israel from the hand of the Midianites. Have I not sent you?”

A miracle is a surprising and welcome event that is not explicable by natural or scientific laws and is therefore considered to be the work of GOD.  It is supernatural or, above or superior to the natural.  This is where we should be living as a Believer.

Those who are reading these words are not reading them by accident but are intended to ponder these words so that they can be transformed into walking in the power conveyed to us by FATHER.  We should no longer be biding our time waiting for some date to pass thinking that the external will evoke some change on us.  Instead we should embrace the power-filled Word FATHER has set before us and in us.  We must raise our standard of believing to the supernatural or “above the natural”.  The answers to our problems lie above the level of the problem.  So rise up!

Miracles are still happening today even if you or I are not participating in them.  Movies are being made about some of them and there is no reason for us to be on the sideline unless we are satisfied with where we are at spiritually.  We don’t need some manmade device or method for healing when FATHER is in the business of healing those who rise up above the natural.  We must move beyond the acceptable and grasp the perfect Will of FATHER.  Jesus came specifically to express the Love and Divine Intent of FATHER by healing the sick and restoring what man thought was impossible to be made whole.

In the above passage, Gideon was looking elsewhere for miracles to come forth but the angel redirected the discussion back to him.  We must quit doing the same thing.  FATHER is looking for willing vessels of honor to flow HIS power through.  Each of us must stand up and say “Here I am FATHER.”

The miracle-working ministries of Pentecost are gone.  Smith Wigglesworth,  F.F. Bosworth, Oral Roberts, and T.L Osborn have passed away.  They operated in the time of the “acceptable” Will of the Pentecost Age.  Isn’t is time for the “Perfect” to operate in the age of Tabernacles?  Didn’t Jesus speak the following words in John 14:

12 “Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father.

13 And whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.

14 If you ask anything in My name, I will do it.”

Let us no longer settle for the mediocre but rise above the chaos, sickness, and disease by expecting FATHER to empower us with what Jesus promised… greater works.  We are worthy because the Head of HIS Body is worthy.  We must doubt not what Jesus spoke concerning us.  FATHER let YOUR power flow through us in order that signs, miracles, and wonders follow us as we express YOUR Love to mankind!
