There is coming a time when it will get dark and whatever oil you have will be your only resource. Hearing is only part of what we need. We must also participate in establishing the Kingdom through understanding.
People want to participate but most are distracted by the world and its priorities. The Holy Spirit was sent to help us and Jesus explained this in John chapter 14:
15 “Loving me empowers you to obey my commands. 16–17 And I will ask the Father and he will give you another Savior, the Holy Spirit of Truth, who will be to you a friend just like me—and he will never leave you. The world won’t receive him because they can’t see him or know him. But you will know him intimately, because he will make his home in you and will live inside you.
The word Savior depicts the role of the Holy Spirit to protect, defend, and save us from our self and our enemies and keep us whole and healed. He is the One who guides and defends, comforts and consoles. Keep in mind that the Holy Spirit is the Spirit of Christ, our Savior. The Aramaic word is paraqleta, which is taken from two root words: (1) praq, “to end, finish, or to save,” and (2) lyta, which means “the curse.” What a beautiful word picture, the Holy Spirit comes to end the work of the curse (of sin) in our lives and to save us from its every effect!
This is why FATHER has had me focus on Agape Love in 2005. We need to be empowered and Jesus clearly stated the pathway to empowerment. When one truly Loves, he or she will do anything that perpetuates the relationship.
When we are participating as partakers of HIS Divine Nature, we should be prospering in every area of our life. If we aren’t, we need to gain understanding and this is accomplished by being fully led by The Holy Spirit. I can tell you I am not there yet and I know I am the one who needs to change thus I press in daily to allow The Word to sift out anything that is hindering my full maturity. I trust you are doing the same.
If we are fully obeying FATHER and listening closely to The Holy Spirit, then as Jesus said:
12 “I tell you this timeless truth: The person who follows me in faith, believing in me, will do the same mighty miracles that I do—even greater miracles than these because I go to be with my Father! 13 For I will do whatever you ask me to do when you ask me in my name. And that is how the Son will show what the Father is really like and bring glory to him. 14 Ask me anything in my name, and I will do it for you!”
None of the Sons or Daughters should be lacking in any area. FATHER will impart wisdom, understanding, knowledge, and skill to those who follow the narrow path known as The Way. Yes, this includes finances. We must erase the orientation to scarcity from our midst. We must open our eyes to blessing and prosperity else we will not fulfill our callings As I have said in the past, “I am just one phone call away from financial blessing.” There is plenty of money in the world but the wrong people have it. The Egyptians funded the Exodus. When Jesus was a baby, “wise men” from the East funded Jesus’ exodus to Egypt so that He would retrace the steps and return to The Promised Land Himself. The reason we will prosper is because Jesus prospers in everything He is associated with in ministry.
Jesus further spoke:
18 “I promise that I will never leave you helpless or abandon you as orphans—I will come back to you! 19 Soon I will leave this world and they will see me no longer, but you will see me, because I will live again, and you will come alive too. 20 So when that day comes, you will know that I am living in the Father and that you are one with me, for I will be living in you. 21 Those who truly love me are those who obey my commands. Whoever passionately loves me will be passionately loved by my Father. And I will passionately love you in return and will manifest my life within you.”
Jesus is not separated from you and me. We must open our eyes to what He spoke and accept it as the Absolute Truth. Each of us needs to discard any unworthiness that the adversary wants to keep us enslaved with by constantly bringing up our past. Accept The Blood of Jesus today for It erases your past sins.
The Holy Spirit is a “defense attorney” Who never loses. We will become aggressive in our expectations of fruitfulness and will no longer be passive in any area. Our passion will be apparent in all areas of our life. If you are not passionate then you should press in even more than you are currently doing. I can attest that passion will come. The success of Jesus’ ministry today is based on our success in walking according to the leading of The Holy Spirit. Let us do it with passionate Love.
