Holy Spirit led Spiritual dive into the revelation of being the LORD’s beloved.

But the love of God will be perfected within the one who obeys God’s Word. We can be sure that we’ve truly come to live in intimacy with God, not just by saying, “I am intimate with God,” but by walking in the footsteps of Jesus. (1 John 2:5-6, TPT)

What does one who walks in the revelation of being the Lord’s beloved look like?

He is faithful, courageous, and loving. He is also a witness to the truth of Jesus’ identity and mission.

The Beloved identity is important because it speaks to the nature of Jesus’ love. Jesus’ love is not partial or conditional. It is a love that is given freely and unconditionally, even to those who are considered to be unworthy.

After my encounter with the Lord on March 29, 2016, Holy Spirit has taken me on an 8-year journey in seeking out the Revelation of the Lord’s beloved, hidden but to those born of the Spirit (John 3:3), in the writings of John the Beloved.

On day one of that Journey, I was introduced to the teachings of Damon Thompson, who had been on the same journey since 2009. His teachings have provoked me to leave the religious-minded studies of the WORD and dive into a deep-seated intimate journey with Holy Spirit, exploring the oceans of God’s love.

Holy Spirit has used Damon’s teachings to seek out the rooms that had been housing the spirit of religion in my inner man for most of my life. With comments such as:

“Is my identity found in production or my proximity to Jesus”?

I have to admit that this journey has not always been comfortable, it has challenged much of what I perceived regarding the nature of God, causing me to allow Holy Spirit to totally rewrite my Theological beliefs.

I have come to the place in my life where I have fully embraced a quote from Bill Johnson:

“Jesus is perfect Theology”

With that, I have found a place of rest in Jesus, where my identity is safely hidden in His hands, where the voices of condemnation and guilt have no access to my life. I do not consider myself an expert on the topic of being a beloved disciple. However, I dare say I am a daring and hungry student to continue searching out these life-transforming scriptural truths.

In this journey I believe it is safe to say that to testify as to being His “Beloved” is found not so much in words, but rather in character and actions which display the dominion power of the Lord flowing up from a well of His love dwelling deep within His sons and daughters.

The Beloved identity also speaks to the transforming nature of Christian discipleship. For in the Lord’s teachings, we find that He called His disciples to be faithful, courageous, and loving.

They are also called to be living witnesses to the truth of Jesus Christ and the power of His love actively releasing life into each other’s lives.

Holy Spirit is renewing the revelation of the “Beloved Disciple” as an example of what a “New Creation” son or daughter in Christ looks like, for such a person, is one whose life is a living demonstration of the Lord’s love in action toward others, as they love others as Christ has loved them.

One last but important note regarding the actions of one walking in the revelation of being the LORD’s beloved. let us not be led astray by our emotions but let us remember that Jesus loves us enough to bring correction into our lives.

Thus, to passively tolerate another person’s bad un-Christ behavior without bringing correction in love is actually NOT loving them as the Lord loves us.

***Warning – Toxic Teacher Alert**

As I stated earlier in a previous post, we must be willing to stand on truth, sound the alarm, and expose Satan’s teachings!

Exposed … A deceptive teacher spreading the lies of Satan….

Cindye Coates: https://www.facebook.com/cindyecoates

Her page is filled with anti-Israel snake poison. Below are a number of her postings on her facebook page:

“The creation of the Zionist state Israel was massively unjust right from the start. Something conceived in iniquity breeds conflict down the road. It is no exaggeration to say that the founding of Israel itself may be the precursor to WWIII. Zionist Israel controls the governments of the US, Britain, Canada, France, and more – and the Rothschilds control Israel.”

The creation of the nation of Israel was unjust?

“Christians are the true Israel. Not the political state of Israel… People are dying… and we need to stop being a shill for the actual oppressors. They divide us to conquer us… “

Israel is the actual oppressor? Just what Satan wants the world to believe!!!

If Cindye Coates is on your friends list you need to unfriend her, she is a lying deceptive teacher, anti-Israel pro-terrorist. These posts are from her facebook page:

“The creation of the Zionist state Israel was massively unjust right from the start. Something conceived in iniquity breeds conflict down the road”.

Here she claims that the Jewish people reclaiming the land which is promised by the Lord God as being “unjust” Israel.

“It’s time the Church has this conversation….

In light of these established facts, I take great comfort in knowing that Jesus said, “My Kingdom is not of this world (system).” This is why we should never feel victimized by these would-be Zionists oppressors because we have been seated together within Christ far above all that the Rothchilds seemingly “control.”

She literally calls Israel the oppressor here!

“My phone was blowing up with people asking me to weigh in on this Middle East conflict – That is what I did…. It’s good to know who is actually causing this horror and evil… It’s not divisive – It’s enlightening – it gives greater clarity on how to pray… Clearly, “I stand with Israel” is not what Jesus would say”.

What, Israel is causing the horror? Jesus doesn’t stand with Israel????

“The Church is the new Israel Not the political state of Israel… People are dying… and we need to stop being a shill for the actual oppressors. They divide us to conquer us…”

Yet, once again she chooses the side of the radical terrorist in calling Israel the oppressors!!!

“The Holy Spirit calls God’s people into a new humanity – God’s spiritual Israel. Therefore – The modern-day political state of “Israel” is not the true Israel of God – we are – in Christ!”

What?

A Palestinian Bashir Abueid wrote this in one of her posts:

Bashir Abueid: What a vile piece of vile propaganda that your media is repeating. Chopping off babies heads? I dare you to present any proof. You can’t coz it’s just an outright Jewish-owned Media fabrication.

(I know a number of very trusted individuals who have seen these travesties and they are REAL)

This conversation continues on:

Cindye Coates: Bashir Abueid Our media is owned by Zionists – that is for sure… and we are being played… I believe that… Many do not want to believe that – but it’s a fact they own the narrative.

Bashir Abueid: Cindye Coates we continue to be brave and to spread the truth. 12 Apostles enlightened the world with the gospel in spite of the Jews and pagans

(Nice try to put the Jewish people outside of the Gospel of our Jewish Messiah, labeling them as pagans)

Cindye Coates: Bashir Abueid That is very encouraging to think about! ❤ Thank you!

But here she agrees with him and praises him for it.

A sick and diluted woman who is going to see the hand of the Lord God of Israel come down upon her and her family. She has profited off the Gospel for too long, the Lord is going to rapidly shut the door on her voice, her calendar is going to be emptied of pre-scheduled ministry events as the Lord will shut the mouth of this snake poison-spitting enemy of Israel, and the Jewish people.

What this evil lady is propagating kind of sounds like what is coming out of the Muslim squad in Washington, doesn’t it? Basically saying Hamas is justified for their brutality against the Israeli citizens. And she is a popular Christian professor, ministry leader, and personality?

Since being exposed as the fraudulent puppet of Satan that she is, she has posted the following:

“Replacement Theology” is when the True Israel – Jesus is Replaced by a Political State in the Middle East….. Jesus said, “My kingdom is not of this world.”

People are confused about “Replacement Theology”…. Zionist teaching is usually the polar opposite of the Truth. It’s amazing how simple it is when you simply read what the New Testament Scripture teaches… ❤

Replacement Theology is anti-Christ to the core!!!

Here is a great read exposing this demonic doctrine that this false teacher promotes as being of the Lord from Christians united for Israel.

The Dangerous Doctrine of Replacement Theology

Her last post reads:

I Get Accurate News from My Arab Christian Friends in Israel like Bashir Abueid! Here she praises this guy again, If you were to view his Facebook page you would clearly see that he is indeed a terrorist sympathizer.

How far does the American Church have to fall? Where is the discernment in the Body these days?

When will the Church, especially the Remnant start calling out these toxic snake oil preachers as did the Apostle Paul on several occasions, one example being in 1 Timothy 1:20:

Among whom are Hymenaeus and Alexander, whom I have handed over to Satan that they may learn not to blaspheme.

Are we not students of history, or does history have to repeat itself? For it was such arrogant religious voices in the Church in Germany that paved the way for the Nazis party to murder millions of Jewish people!!!!

I for one, as a born-from-above, governed by Holy Spirit disciple of Jesus, refuse to be on the wrong side of history!!!

My friends, Satan has got to be the most frustrated character in all the universe. And just as he was frustrated in murdering God’s Son, He will be frustrated in murdering God’s Chosen People.

For a great remnant of the Jewish people is going to live to the end of the Tribulation. They will be brought to the end of themselves.

The Bible declares Israel’s Salvation

And when Jesus returns placing His feet upon the Mountain in “the nation He owns, Israel” (For the world is His inheritance although currently many nations are being held by illegal land owners – They still legally belong to Him – Psalm 2:8), and we His Remnant have been commissioned to take them back under His dominion authority, returning them to their proper own, Christ our King (Acts 3:21).

Upon His return, the whole nation of Israel will cry out in repentance:

“…they will look on Me whom they have pierced; and they will mourn for Him, as one mourns for an only son, and they will weep bitterly over Him like the bitter weeping over a firstborn” (Zechariah 12:10)

Praise the Lord, for one day soon, the nation of Israel will receive Yeshua as their Messiah, and they will cry out “Baruch Haba B’Shem Adonai.” (Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!) What a glorious day that will be. What glory it will bring to the name of God.

Meanwhile, as we await that day, let us meet each new day with the cry of “Maranatha! Maranatha! Come quickly, Lord Jesus!”

Friends, We must stand up against this Satan-conspired propaganda. We must separate ourselves from such perversion. We must sound the alarm and expose these false teachers for exactly who they are. Help spread the news of this vile woman and other such puppets of Satan like her. We have a list of Church that she has previously spoken at and we are currently exposing her demonic doctrines to them.

Do not be deceived by their claims to love the Lord, remember, Judas betrayed our Lord with a kiss.

Anyone who stands against Israel stands against the Lord. and anyone who curses Israel (which she has done many times) shall be cursed by the Lord (Genesis 12:3).

The Word tells us not to be in fellowship with such individuals:

Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?

And Paul goes on to tell us in this same chapter:

Therefore “Come out from among them And be separate, says the Lord. Do not touch what is unclean, And I will receive you.” (2 Corinthians 6:17)

The Word is clear in telling us what actions we must take when encountering such individuals. SEPARATE from them!!!

Honoring those who have influenced our lives and ministries

I was recently reading a book written by one who fathered me spiritually early on at the beginning of my ministry days, Dr. Don Lynch. The Lord used this mighty man of God to pour into my life, important and strategic strategies pertaining to authentic Kingdom ministry.

In his book “Fathering -Transforming Individuals and Nations”, he writes the following:

“What is riotous living to a spiritual prodigal? It is wasting inheritance and spending money on substitutes instead of building a proper family: prodigals can’t produce heirs with a prostitute. The prodigal lost it all and respect for himself.

Abandoning their covenant with father, fleeing real intimacy, and joining themselves to strangers, prodigal children cut off spiritual generations. Starving and living with pigs, fighting for the last rotten husks, he lost his identity as a son and inheritor.”

As I read this, Holy Spirit began to show me how important spiritual fathers are, and how Dr.Don had really laid important Kingdom foundational stones in my life.

To be honest, I had walked away from his leadership for a couple of years, not necessarily in rebellion as much as taking a journey on a road that angled me into a wilderness season. Which we both saw in this spirit and talked about several years ago.

In fact, in 2021 the Lord began reconnecting us as I was a director at a local homeless discipleship ministry, which challenged me in many ways.

Due to those challenges, the Lord opened the door for me to seek counsel from Dr. Don (I needed a strong Apostolic voice to speak direction as well as correction into my life) and we were looking at opportunities that would allow me to bring some of these disciples to attend prayer meetings, and one of the ministries with Ministry Matrix, that really impacted my life, David’s Mighty Army.

We had planned on meeting after he went through and recovered from heart surgery, however, due to unforeseen complications, he graduated to be with the Lord.

One of the things we had been discussing was the importance of Integrity and Honor and the need for the Body in this region to become unified in advancing the Kingdom. As many of the ministries in this city and region were started not out of calling but rather out of rebellion, rejection, bitterness, and offense.

One of the last conversations we had was about whether I should accept the role of senior pastor at Highway to Heaven Church. I can remember the sound of his voice when he said;

“Son, I believe this is of the Lord, all these years have prepared you for this opportunity, and I know that you are ready”. And he followed up with “You know I am here rooting for you and you can depend on my helping you in any way I can”.

We also discussed the need for our ministries to be united in advancing the Kingdom in the city and region rather than one being “Greater” than the other, even though different in certain aspects of our assignments, that we were united in Spirit.

Although he is with the Lord now, he is still helping me through the collection of messages I have gathered over the years, including the recording of a number of prophetic words he spoke over my wife, my life, and our marriage. The one I truly value is the recording of our ordination under Ministry Matrix in 2007.

I will always honor Dr. Don, his wife Ruthanne, and Freedom House and the role that they have played in my life. With that honor, I stand with that House of the Lord and will continue to pray that everyone there is blessed with revelation, Holy Spirit strategies, and continued growth.

It was because of Dr. Don that I became acquainted with the Ministry of Dutch Sheets, which ultimately led me to the ministry of Damon Thompson and the Kingdom families connected to his ministry, as well as Chuck Peirce, whose ministry I was commissioned under as an Apostolic teacher, and Apostle Tim Sheets.

These powerful men are the current apostolic voice that Holy Spirit has me listening to in this current hour. Several years ago, under the urgent directives of the Father, I surrendered to the governing authority of Holy Spirit with regard to choosing the voices that I listen to.

The list is short but I will share it here: Dutch and Tim Sheets, Chuck Peirce, Ken Malone, and Damon Thompson. These along with a few others that I have found through Dutch Sheets to be authentic Kingdom voices which are Greg Hood and Gina Gholston.

Let me be totally honest here friends, there is only one FreedomHouse here in Jacksonville and although some may try and mimic it in ministry style and assignment, like those who adhere to the replacement theology regarding the Church and Israel, I see them as being outside the authentic Kingdom.

As to trying to mimic Freedhouse or any other ministry for that matter, well that is a line I will never cross. In fact, I believe it is of utmost importance that if we want to be pleasing to the Father, we MUST each seek our own assignment and calling and stay focused on advancing the Kingdom as Holy Spirit leads.

I give Glory to the Father for allowing such a mighty man of God, as Dr. Don Lynch, to have been a vital part of my ministry training and life in general.

I am under Holy Spirit conviction, that had it not been for men such as Dr. Don Lynch I would still be wandering about as a drifter in the Kingdom trying to imitate someone elses ministry and calling rather than having found who I am in Christ and what His calling for my life’s destiny truly is.

Many of his books if not all are on Amazon, including “Fathering”, and I recommend them all.

Be on guard for there is an increasing rise of Ishmael ministries and Churches….

And now, dear brothers and sisters, I’d like to give one final word of caution: Watch out for those who cause divisions and offenses among you. When they antagonize you by speaking of things that are contrary to the teachings that you’ve received, don’t be caught in their snare! For people like this are not truly serving the Lord, our Messiah, but are being driven by their own desires for a following. Utilizing their smooth words and well-rehearsed blessings, they seek to deceive the hearts of innocent ones. (Romans 16:17-18)

Two of the most devastating and destiny-destroying spirits of the dark realm are the spirit of bitterness and the spirit of rejection.

They will cripple an individual’s ability to discern things spiritually and they will use them to attack authentic miniseries. They are known to lead people into causing division, chaos, and destruction, oftentimes by attacking the leadership of the ministry that they feel betrayed them.

They will secretly go to those who are still part of that ministry and plant subtle lying words to cause a seed of deception and rebellion to fester in those individuals’ minds.

There is currently such a ministry getting ready to launch in Jacksonville, Holy Spirit has been clear, this is an Ishmael ministry birthed out of rejection and bitterness. The hand of the Lord will not be with it, in fact, His hand will be against it.

For some reason, Jacksonville is a prime city for such illegitimate ministries to be established. I remember asking Holy Spirit about this a few years ago and He said it is because the enemy sees the destiny of this city and he is launching an all-out war to prevent its destiny from being fulfilled.

There is a revival destiny in this region, which has been the purpose of the Lord since before the systems of this world were put in place by the devil. Jacksonville, Mayport, and St. Augustine all have the blood of the first martyrs crying out. All of which dedicated this land to the Kingdom of God.

The enemy has been allowed to plant a crop of disunity in this region. The spirit if envy has been left unchecked and it’s poisonous fruit is becoming ripe and ready for harvest in this hour.

If you were to step back and look at this city’s faith community it has pretty much been a demonic playground of jealousy, division, and spiritual discontentment for several decades. It is in truth, a fertile field for religion to take root and for the enemy to build an empire of illegitimate ministries and churches.

The spirit of pride says I can build a bigger house, better designed, more appealing to those who have tired of the old ways. Then they set their eyes on the already established congregation and see how many they can suck into their organization, once obtained they toil in performance to keep them content. Better and bigger sound system, more worldly appealing interiors, coffee shops, lounges, and the best celebrity preaches they can afford.

They overemphasize the anointing on their own lives as well as that of their personally chosen leadership, and they will sell their souls to gather the largest crowds. Many times, they will imitate the leaders that they felt had rejected them, and follow in their steps in hopes of gaining the fame they have or had.

Don’t get me wrong, Jacksonville is not the only city to be spiritually held hostage, it is happening in towns and cities throughout this nation. I am merely speaking of the region where the Lord has planted my wife and me at this time, it is also the birthplace of our son.

Over the past two years the Lord has been speaking to me personally on what truly pleases Him. and the type of individuals that He is willing to mantle up to war for this region’s destiny. He has shown me that it is very important to walk in humility and honor those who have been contending for the faith here already.

With that, He has also told me that I must be willing to call out the corruption, sound the alarm on the deception, and that I must fully die to self by surrendering completely to the governing authority and Lordship of Holy Spirit.

He has been clear that pride has no place in His Kingdom and the desire to be great is the door that makes way for the enemy to come in with pride and envy. To be satisfied with what I have regardless of what others may have. To seek to make His name known, even at the cost of my own dreams and desires. He has often said that when I fully give my dreams and desires over to Him, I will begin to experience the incomprehensible dreams He has had for me since before I was born.

So brothers and sisters, it is extremely important that we all ask Holy Spirit to increase our gift of discernment and that we walk with our spiritual eyes open. We must walk cautiously, taking nothing at face value but rather let us walk in patience, allowing Holy Spirit to verify for us if a gathering, ministry, or the leadership is ordained of the Lord or if it is a trap of the enemy.

It has never been more important that we realize we each must learn to commit and submit to living under the governance of Holy Spirit, being led by Him at all times. This region is, as is where the Lord currently has you assigned, crying out for a move of the Lord, and we must be able to discern that the enemy is throwing everything he has against it.

However, let us hold to the promised truths of scripture, knowing that we have superior spiritual weapons that he cannot stand against, and we know that his weapons cannot prevail against us (Isaiah 54:17). As well let none of us forget that the greatest weapon we have against the forces of evil is love.

So let love be our measuring tool as we deal with others, and may His Holy Word be the sword for which we use to slice through every illusion the enemy puts before us (Hebrews 4:12).

Those seated under the Government of Holy Spirit shall indeed reign!!!

As we begin walking in the fulness of the Kingdom Age, we are going to witness a ramping up of attacks from the spirit of religion and the spirit of the anti-Christ.

Speaking of the latter, many do not even understand what this spirit’s main objective is. It is not to destroy Jesus, for He has already defeated it. The reality of the spirit’s demonic assignment is to attack the sons & daughters of the Lord, seeking to conceal, limit, imprison, and deny them from walking in the Christ anointing.

Remember, Christ is not the Lord’s last name, Christ literally means “The anointed one”, which with regards to the house of the Father, each one of His children, His sons & daughters have been, as was Jesus, sanctified, consecrated, and set apart by the LORD.

The whole Spiritual transforming process is done through Holy Spirit’s assigned governing authority over our lives. We can discuss this later pertaining to the immature (anórimos) Babes in the Lord, and the matured (teleios) sons & daughters of the Lord.

From reading many testimonies and reports from around the Globe, I can honestly say that the sons and daughters of the Lord, who have been releasing the true Goepel of the Kingdom have been witnessing more and more are those who are enslaved by either one of these spirits.

But in all honesty, I’ve personally found that most have been enslaved by both of these demonic entities, as they work hand in hand in their attempts to limit the ability of the Lord’s Bride. Especially those who have been walking in the fullness of their sonship, have been washed and now walking in the revelation of their identity regarding their Belovedness, and Righteousness in the Lord Jesus Christ.

The whole revelation of the beloved identity has been kept hidden for decades by the enemy’s use of religious institutions from the vast majority of the Bride. Although as scripture reveals we know the Father has maintained His Ekklesia, especially His Remnant Warriors who have been Spiritually clothed in these truths, preserving them (These Kingdom Truths) for such a time as this.

Through Holy Spirit connections, I have read of and personally know of whole Kingdom families (Assembled ones or Congregations) that have already or are coming into these powerful revelations, the enemy is ramping up His campaign to put these Spiritual fires out before they begin to spread like fast-moving wildfires throughout the nations.

Over the past year, Holy Spirit has been showing me personally as well through the testimonies of others, how the enemy is amassing armies of his demons to attack these families. However, let us let us rest in the knowledge that our Father in our Protector, our High Tower of refuge, He has our backs covered.

Through Holy Spirit revelations via dreams, visions, and prophetic words, we have been shown that the Father has directed His commander of the Angel armies, Holy Spirit, to increase the levels of His Battle-hardened Angelic Warriors, by assigning legions to guard His sons and daughters. Which has been being carried out in this current season.

Remembering our warfare is not directed toward human adversaries

With regard to these individuals whom the enemy has been and continues to use in his relentless attacks on the Bride, the key is not to take it personally. For, when those who are enslaved to these spirits lash out at you, we can not become defensive and launch a counter-attack against them personally.

With that, we must also be aware that there are even times that it may appear they are merely joking, however with a little spiritual discernment one can clearly see that these attacks are still spiritually toxic, being fueled by the enemy’s desire to crush the TRUTH from being spread.

Now, these human victims, even though they often unknowingly are operating in the characteristics of the devil himself as they attempt to run smear campaigns. And they are doing such with the hope of gathering support from others. In the end, they have deceptively been but puppets of the enemy advancing his desire to belittle the sons & daughters of the Lord from freeing others by discrediting their testimonies using lying accusations purposed to ultimately put an ed to the truth going forth, wit the final result being to that of shutting down the Ekklesia/Remnant gatherings altogether.

However, brothers and sisters, let us not forget that we have been equipped with the very Armor for Triumphant Victory after Victory, having each been issued the impenetrable Armor of our LORD, along with every Spiritual weapon designed to bring about the most punishing destruction against the forces of Hell.

“Learning Spiritual Warfare tactics found in scripture“

As we enter this new year, we are going to witness the Ekklesia, especially its military branch, the Remnant army of the LORD, having full access coupled with their being trained to listen to only Holy Spirit and His directives to war, regarding warfare strategies of when to attack the enemy, as He fully knows the precise time (Kairos) when they are most vulnerable.

When you encounter such individuals, unless directed by Holy Spirit, it is best not to engage (Titus 3:9), remember you are not the victim here and these people are often very comfortable with the religious suit they are wearing, just like the religious ones the Lord Himself encountered. Ignore their insults, decree their poisonous insults and toxic lies have NO POWER against you (Isiah 54:17).

As well let us remember that included with this promise in Isaiah 54:17, we have received the authority to cast down every lie and demonic word (curse) released against us.

“No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the slaves of the LORD, and their justice from me, said the LORD.” (Jubilee) 

When they attack you on Facebook or any other social media platform, and I must be truthful in admitting that this has been a tough lesson for me to learn, you simply need to ignore them. Delete their comments and if necessary block them.

However, we must be aware that the religious-spirited ones are very cunning, and they will try to convince you that if you are really a Believer, you should have no problem debating these topics.

It’s a dirty trap of the devil as he desires to make the Bride look weak and pathetic to the world, by always having arguments within. He was there when the Lord taught, and he knows, even if he hates the truth, there is truth in what Jesus said when he stated a house divided shall not stand (Matthew 12:25).

We need to ask ourselves, what would be the response of the Lord?

In my studies of the scriptures, I’ve found that when challenged by the religious ones in His day, Jesus very seldom actually sat at the table of debate, in that He hardly ever even answered their questions. He generally asked them a question on the basis that if they answered His questions, He would answer theirs (Ref Mark 11:29).

Friends, let the record show darkness has no effective response to the Light, the LIGHT wins every time it encounters darkness!!

These are powerful victorious breakthrough days for the Saints of which we have NOW entered into. Yet let us not let our guard down, now more than ever it is vital that we live surrendered lives to the governing authority of Holy Spirit.

Learning to live, governed by Holy Spirit….

Dear children, the end of this age is near! You have heard that Antichrist is arising, and in fact, many enemies of Christ have already appeared, and this is how we know that we are living in the closing hour of this age. For even though they were once a part of us, they withdrew from us because they were never really of our number. For if they had truly belonged to us they would have continued with us. By leaving our community of believers they made it obvious that they never really belonged to us. But the Holy One has anointed you and you all know the truth.  (1 John 2:18-20, TPT)

I don’t know about anyone else but over the past couple of years, I have seen numereous people I was aligned with as far as the Kingdom goes, break apart.

A little over 3 years ago Holy Spirit began speaking to me about this and He always brought me to the passages of scripture above. It doesn’t;t mean, and I am not saying, that these were bad people. Nor that any of us were wrong.

I believe that Holy Spirit is connecting us to those we are purposed to walk this Kingdom journey with. We have to be alert and discerning in this hour. I have witnessed and heard from others as to how the Spiritual radar is on high alert pinging constantly as the spirit of Babylon is increasing throughout the world and in much of the culture in America, including in many Churches that have been lured into their ideologies.

It is important that we “War” with those who share our belief, even if the calling may not be the same on the surface, a matter of prayer and heart-to-heart conversation will allow Holy Spirit to show us that we do share the same Spiritual assignment, which the Father is drawing each us to focus on.

Much like that of each family member, one may be a doctor, one may be a teacher, and mom may stay at home while Dad goes to work every day, but no member in the family is looked at as less important than the other.

I know that I have no desire to go for a long hike with someone who hates to hike. I can however go on a hike with someone who has never hiked before but has a deep desire to learn how to hike, if you get my drift here. I have been in prayer meetings with individuals who kept looking at their watch and were unable to hide their anxiousness for the meeting to end, as well as some Church services. I can tell you right now, that is NOT someone I want to join me in praying out a Kingdom assignment.

There are definitely exceptions to every case, as I fully understand when the meeting and or service is lacking in Holy Spirit presence, I have had to sit through a number of those over the years.

In hindsight, I see where I totally missed asking Holy Spirit if He was going to be there Himself. So again, Holy Spirit will give you His perspective you need but ask.

So if you have had connections breaking recently, or even in the past, don’t immediately try and find the reason why so you can blame them or yourself.

In each instance, it is vital to go to our first line of defense, prayer, and ask Holy Spirit for discernment over the situation. You just may be surprised when you find that He is actually looking out for you and doesn’t want you to step on some spiritual IEDs (improvised explosive devices) that the enemy has laid to wound you or to take you out of the battle, or even worse, premature death.

There are way too many casualties of war right as there is now in the Body. Mainly because many of them did not allow or were not taught to allow Holy Spirit to cleanse them of any spiritual leeches such as the spirit of bitterness, the spirit of unforgiveness, the spirit of rejection, and the most common one, the Orhan spirit.

Sadly one of the biggest reasons for this is due to the fact that the Church to a large degree has abandoned the discipleship model that Jesus gave us in the way that He disciples the twelve, face-to-face up close and personal relationships.

Also, they generally find themselves sitting under a leader who may well have academic degrees galore, but they have not been baptized in the Spirit, which Jesus was clear about, that we dare not even step into ministry until we have received Holy Spirit.

In this hour, I hear Holy Spirit calling each of us to check our hearts and to surrender any preconceived ideas that we have come up with as to where we are to fellowship and with whom we are to fellowship. He knows our past, even before we were born, He knows our “now” and He knows our future. Who better to trust our lives with.

As good soldiers and as obedient disciples of the LORD, we must allow Him to direct us to those the Father has purposed us to be connected to as a Kingdom family, both locally as well as internationally. The degree of victory and victorious battles we win literally depends on our willingness to allow Holy Spirit to govern us in every area of our lives.

To God be the Glory!!!!

The Governing authority of Holy Spirit is about to shake the nations!!!

And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon son of Jonah, for flesh and blood has not revealed it unto thee, but my Father who is in the heavens. And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, a small rock and upon the large rock I will build my congregation, [Gr. ekklesia – called out ones] and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against her. And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of the heavens, and whatever thou shalt bind on the earth shall be bound in the heavens, and whatever thou shalt loose on the earth shall be loosed in the heaven. (Matthew 16:17-19, Jubilee)

The Ekklesia was never meant to be a spectator platform where the religious elite show off their talents and people live out their Kingdom assignments through the stories of what others are doing.

The Ekklesia was established to be a living, moving active assembly of Heaven’s governmental authorities here on Earth, governing the cultures, business, educational institutes, medical field, and even the governments of this world.

The spirit of religion since the beginning of the New Testament Ekklesia has sought to limit if not completely deny access to any aspect of the culture. It did so in the beginning through Jewish Religious sects which sought to infiltrate and implement the legalistic doctrines that man had instituted in their own religion of Judaism.

Now, history shows that all these attempts failed to slow down the Kingdom’s growth, especially after having their main Temple of worship in Jearsulam destroyed around 70 A.D. which sent these bands of Jewish legalists scattering around the known world.

For a number of years, the Ekklesia of the LORD began to flourish as the Gospel was taken to the ends of the known world. That is until in and around 325 A.D. when under the governing authority of the Roman Emperor Constantine the creation of the paganistic Roman Catholic church was established. For again, history records that over a series of years through oftentimes employing brutal force, this paganistic religious cult sent the Ekklesia of the LORD, which had been known up to that point as “People of The Way” underground.

The Ekklessia remained underground through the centuries, however, we have historical writings that prove the Father has kept His remnant alive throughout the generations since the time they we sent into hiding. We also have historical accounts where they would begin to move in the supernatural realms of the miraculous, with conforms signs, miracles, and wonders. It really the LIGHT of His Gospel was never created to remain hidden behind veils of darkness.

In the 1500’s we saw the rise of a religious organization which has been known as the Protestant Church break away from and separate itself from the majority of the Catholic teaching and traditions.

However even as Luther himself never wanted to not be Catholic, the spiritual residue of the Catholic Church has never fully been eradicated from the Protestant Church. Thus to door to allow the “spirit of religion’s” influence has remained open and it has many times squashed the movement of the Ekklesia from fully liberating itself from the grips of religion.

But again, the Father has kept His Holy Remnant in every generation, waiting for that Kiaros moment on the eternal calendar to raise them up to reclaim their rightful place as His government officials here on Earth and begin to enforce the victory of His Son on the cross and reclaim His Kingdoms reign on Earth even as it is in Heaven.

And Heaven has declared, Remant Warriors of the LORD, it is time to come out from the wilderness and take your ordained positions as Kings and Priests of the Kingdom of God here on Earth (Revelations 1:6).

Saints, we are now in that very hour and as the prophets have been decreeing, the Father is about to shake Heaven and Earth with a mighty Spiritual Reset!!!

David’s Mighty Warriors – 2 Samuel 23:8-39.

Posted: July 12, 2023 in disciples life, Kingdom Teaching, Prophetic, Remnant, wilderness
Tags: , , , ,

Over the past several days, the Holy Spirit keeps whispering “Elite group of warriors” and as He whispers this the word Remnant pops into my mind. With that, my Spirit immediately thinks of David’s mighty warriors who stood by His side, and against all odds defeated the enemies of Israel.

This morning as I was starting my day with Him, the thought of Elite came to my mind and I began to ponder it. For I know it is not in reference to what many would consider elite meaning such as better than others, or as those who lord what they believe to be their superior place in society over others.

As I was thinking about this He began showing me the character of this group of individuals. They are those who throw worldly caution to the wind, those who have left behind them the desires of notoriety, fame, and fortune. They have done these things and more because they have all come to find something more valuable than anything this world has to offer, which is that of presence.

They have become drawn to the love of the One who first and always has loved them. Much like Brother Lawrance, they have come to a place where even if they were not saved, they would still love the Lord and welcome His intimate presence.

They have surrendered their will to be but moved by the Wind (John 3:8) and though many would caution them not to be so impulsive, they do not pay attention to the warning of worldly wisdom but rather are ready to change course in the direction Holy Spirit leads them.

So this elite group of Spiritual Warriors does not consider themselves better than others, they simply believe that they are such dedicated friends with the Lord (even as He has dedicated His life to them), that they will do whatever He wills them and go even into the places where the comforts of this world evade them.

Who were these 30 mighty warriors who fought beside of David?

1. Asahel, who was Joab‘s brother, 2. Elhanan, the son of Dodo from Bethlehem, 3. Shammah from Harod, 4. Elika from Harod, 5. Helez from Palt, 6. Ira, the son of Ikkesh from Tekoa, 7. Abiezer from Anathoth, 8. Sibbekai from Hushah, 9. Zalmon from Ahoah, 10. Maharai from Netophah, 11. Heled, the son of Baanah from Netophah, 12. Ithai, the son of Ribai from Gibeah in the territory of Benjamin, 13. Benaiah from Pirathon, 14. Hiddai from the ravines of Gaash, 15. Abi-Albon from Arbath, 16. Azmaveth from Bahurim, 17. Eliahba from Shaalbon, 18. The sons of Jashen (names unspecified), 19. Jonathan, the son of Shammah the Hararite, 20. Ahiam, the son of Sharar the Hararite, 21. Eliphelet, the son of Ahasbai from Maakah, 22. Eliam, the son of Ahithophel from Giloh, 23. Hezro from Carmel, 24. Paarai from Arab, 25. Igal, the son of Nathan from Zobah, 26. Zelek the Ammonite, 27. Naharai from Beeroth, who served as armor-bearer to Joab son of Zeruiah, 28. Ira the Ithrite, 29. Gareb the Ithrite, 30. Uriah the Hittite.

This enumeration of warriors underscores their diversity in origin and their distinct roles within the Thirty, a notable assembly of fighters.

The little on the background of these 30 mighty men of war:

Ira, denoted as the son of Ikkesh from Tekoa, suggests his origin from a town in Judah known for its wilderness. This environment could have contributed to his skills in survival and combat, essential for a warrior. Similarly, Maharai and Heled, identified as Netophathites, came from Netophah, another locality in Judah. Their familiarity with the rough terrains around their home could have made them formidable in guerrilla warfare. Characters like Abi-Albon the Arbathite and Azmaveth the Barhumite also stand out, with the former possibly hailing from Beth-arabah, a town in the territory of Benjamin or Judah, and the latter from Bahurim.

Their origins might suggest training in specific styles of combat or knowledge of local warfare strategies, enhancing their roles within the group. Eliam son of Ahithophel the Gilonite and Uriah the Hittite also hold significant but less discussed backgrounds; Eliam being the son of David’s counselor, indicates a connection to high political influence, enhancing his status and possibly his military prowess. Uriah, a Hittite, points to his origins outside the Israelite communities, reflecting the diversity and inclusiveness of David‘s followers in terms of skills and cultural tactics.

These diverse backgrounds combined with their likely involvement in various military campaigns under David, suggest that each member brought unique skills and experiences to the group, contributing to their effectiveness as a military unit. Their feats, though not detailed in this particular passage, would typically include outstanding acts of bravery and skill in battles that defined the era of King David‘s reign.

A couple of notable examples set by these warriors is:

In battle, Eleazar displayed remarkable endurance and bravery by holding his position and fighting the Philistines until he was so weary that his hand froze to his sword. Shammah demonstrated his valor by taking a stand alone in a field and successfully defending it against the Philistine forces. Abishai showcased his formidable combat skills by wielding his spear to overcome three hundred opponents. Benaiah also accomplished impressive feats, such as vanquishing two of Moab’s most formidable warriors, slaying a lion during a snowstorm, and overcoming a giant Egyptian. These instances highlight the extraordinary actions of these warriors during conflicts.

David was not blind to the deep dedication these men showed toward him, even to the point of laying their lives down for him. In fact, David demonstrated deep respect and honor for the bravery of his mighty warriors through a symbolic gesture. When his loyal warriors risked their lives to fulfill his wish for water from Bethlehem’s well, David chose not to drink the water upon their return. Recognizing the grave danger they faced to retrieve it, he poured the water out as an offering to the Lord. This act served as a poignant acknowledgment of their valor, emphasizing that he valued their lives and sacrifices far more than fulfilling his own desires. By refusing to drink the water, David underscored the sacredness of the risks they took on his behalf.

They have come to the revelation of truth that in dying to the desires of the flesh (self-seeking) they have stepped into the very life they were designed for (John 10:10).

Thus they have been reborn of the Spirit from above and are now living in their true identity as the sons & daughters of the Living God. And with this, they have gained access to the treasure trove of their inheritance. And with that inheritance comes the foreknowledge of not only all the Spiritual weapons they have to use but also the revelation of how to use them.

The greatest weapon is that of their voice, for even as they were created in His image, so does their voice carry His Spiritual authority and power. Thus, no longer shall they remain silent in the shadows but with shouts of Praise, they shall be seen vanquishing the dark demonic strongholds which have captivated whole cultures throughout the nations.

They have been called by the Lord to engage via Spiritual warfare tactics under the governance of Holy Spirit, such evils as human trafficking (especially the exploration of our children), anti-god political movements such as communism, socialism, and evil dictatorships. As well as confronting and tearing down cultural strongholds such as racism, inner-city poverty, and other evils that seek to imprison the world.

Coupled with that call they have gained access through the finished works of Christ on the cross, opening the door to authentic sonship so as to be able to re-establish the Father’s permission to operate in the dominion authority He granted mankind in the garden. And coming out of the wilderness of Spiritual training, they come armed with the understanding that the very frequencies of their voice carry the Light which darkness still has no answer for (John 1:5). #SELAH

The Lack of Integrity in the Modern Church

All these [gifts, achievements, abilities] are inspired and brought to pass by one and the same [Holy] Spirit, Who apportions to each person individually [exactly] as He chooses. (1 Corinthians 12:11, AMPC)

The lack of integrity is a major issue in the Church today … I have personally witnessed others seeking to propel themselves in ministry off of the reputation of their mentors. As well as having read the stories of countless others.

One thing I can but give Holy Spirit credit for was His never allowing me to try and springboard off from someone else’s ministry.

Over the years I have been blessed to have been part of (and in many cases leadership) some pretty amazing ministries from the prophetic to that of healing and mentored under some incredible men of God.

Yet I never once sought to use their names to advance the ministry my wife and I co-steward. And I believe the reason for that is due in large part to the One my wife & I co-steward with, Christ our Lord. However, I also must give credit where credit is due. – it is also due to the fact of having been mentored by men of God who taught me the importance of integrity in ministry.

I know early on as I started preaching I tried to preach in the style of my favorite preachers. Then one m morning as I was getting ready, Holy Spirit asked a question that shook me:

Why are you attempting to operate in the anointing that Father gave others?

I didn’t have an answer for Him. He then proceeded to explain to me that the Father had gifted me with the abilities that He chose for me and that I could not legally hijack the gifting (anointing) He had given to others. Holy Spirit then said, “Listen to Me and I will train you in the style for which you have been created. If you continue to try and run on someone else’s anointing and or seek to mimic them to gain their reputation, you will end up burning out”.

From that day forward I have never tried to mimic anyone else. Whether I am liked, understood, and called for to preach at other churches, it will be based on the door the Lord opens, not on any that I try to force to open and surely not having gained entrance as an imposter.

Now, looking at the issue of integrity, and with regard to what Holy Spirit has shown me discern that the city I currently live in is home to hundreds of Ismael ministries and churches. Such that were built on disrespect and division. Foundations built on stones of ego and pride often at the expense of those believers who were forced to choose sides.

Derick Prince saw the same thing on his last visit to Jacksonville. In fact, the division and ministry rivalries caused him to state; “Until the Churches in this city repent of their sins of spiritual jealousy and covetousness I will not return to preach here”. Sadly, he never did return.

Jacksonville isn’t the only city plagued with this issue, the Christian landscape across this nation is covered with it. Unity does not mean we have to agree on every doctrine however until we agree and walk as a witness to John 13:34, this nation will not see healing.

Respect, Integrity, and Honor are key Kingdom foundational stones upon which a Kingdom family is built and stands. Yet, even with those stones in place, if they are not established on John 13:34, they will not stand the winds of change and to constant attack of the enemy. 

Where there is a lack in the presentation of the true Gospel message of the Kingdom, the enemy gains access to birth chaos and confusion. Much of Western theology has been reduced to the doctrines of men, which are lacking in the authentic power of Holy Spirit-led lives.

Holy Spirit led Revolution

Then Jesus made a public spectacle of all the powers and principalities of darkness, stripping away from them every weapon and all their spiritual authority and power to accuse us. And by the power of the cross, Jesus led them around as prisoners in a procession of triumph. He was not their prisoner; they were his! (Colossians 2:15 TPT)

The spirit of religion is skilled at deception and it is seen in the doctrines that claim the wrath of God is towards man rather than the truth that it is directed at anything that brings separation between Him and His creation. For it was with the same LOVE used in creating man as that which we see displayed on the cross as He reconciled man back to his purposed intimacy with the Father, Son, and Spirit (Triune God).

Heaven has released the command for a Holy Revolution to see the true Gospel rescued from the twisted gospel that represents a God of wrath and a Son of compassion. And Holy Spirit has been training up a Remnant in this generation whose hands have been cleansed and hearts have been purified. Though often labeled radical, they carry the very burning passion of the Lord to see the Saints liberated to enable them to walk in their Abba-purposed destinies and live the abundant life of liberty that Jesus purchased for them on the cross

In studying the scriptures, there is insurmountable evidence which is clearly seen in the life of Christ, how He perfectly represented His Father to the world, and in that re-presentation, we see in the Son, a perfect display of who the Father is, the God of Grace, Mercy, and Love.

It is that same nasty ole spirit of religion that is imprisoning many today in false doctrines, that sought to deny who the Son truly was, and went to great lengths of even having Him murdered on the cross.

Yet it unknowingly played right into the plans of the Father, Son, and Spirit in that the very death that it thought was its own victory ended up being its own sentence and striping of all power and authority that it had gained in the fall.

The chains of legalism are being demolished

Sadly with all the research ability we have today – with a history of God’s display of love just since the Resurrection of His Son, most of the Church still has a very legalistic mindset to where the very nature of the Father that Christ reintroduced to the world is lost in a very religious legalistic interpretation of the scriptures.

Yet let us Praise God, with shouts of JOY, for the appointed time is upon us when the wisdom of Heaven is going to break through the religious theological strongholds that have been imprisoning the sons and daughters of the Lord for centuries – for the hour when His human Temples begin to glow in the radiance of the wisdom and knowledge of His GLORY has NOW arrived.

Holy Spirit Intervention……..

Below is a message Holy Spirit brought to me for my own life close to 9 years ago. It took close to a year for Holy Spirit to wear down a very prideful and stubborn heart in me. Thus it took time for me to realize the message was intended for, me! Once I realized it and confessed my secret sins to Him, I was led into a season of personal reflection on my whole life.

During this time (close to a year), the enemy took full advantage of the roots of rejection, bitterness, and unforgiveness that he had planted in my life from a young age, to torment me with a mountain load of shame and guilt. I was literally walking through a spiritual wilderness that I found was etched into my life, a divide between my past, the present, and the future.

Notice I said the enemy, not the LORD.

In reality, this was a divine intervention from Holy Spirit. As my reputation as a preacher was growing, my inner world was falling apart. I had become a master of living two lives – Righteous in public (self-righteous) yet leading a very dark life of personal sin-filled deception in secret.

I attempted to use all the “religious” weapons I had learned, yet they had little effect on staving off the devil’s attacks against me. This was especially true in regard to seeing what the Father’s loving heart opinion of me was. In fact, the spirit of religion was my main tormentor.

Then, it was several months after having laid everything on the altar, that I had a powerful life-changing Spiritual encounter with Him in a little Inn in Saluda North Carolina…..I came out of that encounter with absolutely zero doubts as to the Father’s love for me.

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Then Joshua said unto Achan, My son, give, I pray thee, glory now to the LORD God of Israel and give him praise; and tell me now what thou hast done; do not hide it from me. And Achan answered Joshua and said, Indeed I have sinned against the LORD God of Israel, and thus and thus have I done. When I saw among the spoils a goodly Babylonish garment and two hundred shekels of silver and a wedge of gold of fifty shekels weight, then I coveted them and took them; and, behold, they are hid in the earth in the midst of my tent, and the silver under it. (Joshua 7:19-21,JUB)

It is one of the trappings of a prideful heart, to desire fame and fortune over intimacy with the Lord. For such are the snares of the devil, who seeks to defraud the faith community by allowing you to advance in the kingdom while living in sin so that when you fall, not only will your life will be destroyed, but also the lives of those who are connected to you, from your family to a whole congregation.

He loves to cause as much damage as possible, so the more successful you become while living in secret sin, the more damage you will cause to yourself and those connected to you. If you fall from a footstool, you will likely not die. However, if you fall from a highrise building, you will meet a tragic fate. Take heed, the longer you keep hidden your gold, silver, and Babylonian lifestyle, the more it will hurt you and the people around you.

Just because miracles may be happening through you and or your ministry, just because you have crowds gathering at your meetings or you lead a large church, none of these represent the favor of God in your life, if you have secret sins in private. They are momentary trinkets of the deceiver.

Let us remember what the Lord said:

“Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of the heavens, but he that doeth the will of my Father who is in the heavens. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then I will profess unto them, I never knew you; depart from me, ye that work iniquity. (Matthew 7:21-23, JUB)

It is not the works we do that are pleasing to the Lord, it is the position of our hearts. For he who has clean hands (free of sin) and a pure heart (unto God alone) can ascend unto His throne room (Psalm 24:4-5).

_________________________________________________________________

I felt led by Holy Spirit to share this today as I know there are some out there that need the hope this story contains. It is part of my story yet not mine alone. It is the story also of the Father’s love and how Holy Spirit graciously spared me from what could have been a fateful end. That two-minute encounter with Jesus back 0n March 28, 2016, was as real as the air we breathe. Thus it is a weapon to the enemy as well (Rev 12:11).

Let us confess our sins before the Lord today, asking Holy Spirit to remove everything that is not of the Father’s will in our lives so that we may in all we do and say bring Glory to His Holy Name (Psalm 51:10-17).
