So give Your servant an understanding mind and a hearing heart [with which] to judge Your people, so that I may discern between good and evil. For who is able to judge and rule this great people of Yours?” (1 Kings 3:1-15, AMP)

A half key will never unlock a door, especially a prison door. The spirit of religion knows this which is why it continues to give access to half-truths, which isn’t the truth at all. For truth to be true it has to be centered in the revelation of Jesus, for from Him all truth flows.

A partial truth is lacking in the fullness of Christ, even as many have been led to believe they can follow Jesus either on a part-time basis or a negotiated settlement. Regarding His Lordship the Bible is clear, there is no room nor clause for negotiation, it is His way only. He Himself is clear in His Word when He says “those who obey ALL my commands”.

If you were to ask the average Church attendee what was it that Solomon prayed for they would respond “Wisdom”. This is true however only partially true, for he also asked for revelation knowledge seen in his request for a hearing heart.

Many today, being filled with pride over their “knowledge of the Word” they claim to have is a religious prison that not only alters their walk but can also be a stumbling block to those seeking the truth to whom they are connected.

Wisdom without revelation and Holy Ghost discernment can be an open door for the enemy. In certain cases that open door can lead one to believe they have been called by God to rid the world of a whole ethnic group, such as in the case of Adolf Hitler.

Now that is an extreme example but no less devastating is it when it causes a division within a family or causes a division with a local congregation. In both cases, destinies can be altered and even destroyed.

Jesus never commanded His disciples to get degrees in the academic world. when Paul encouraged young Timothy to study to show himself approved, he was not referring to the New Testament scriptures, he was telling Timothy to study Jesus, to get so close in his relationship with him that anything that was not of Christ would be quickly discerned and discarded, or used to sound the alarm to others of its falsehood.

So let us all ask the Father for that which Soloman asked, wisdom with revelation. For in the days to come we need to clearly hear what Holy Spirit is saying. Not what our heart is saying or what is the newest fade in the world of Christianity, but what is Holy Spirit saying, for He alone has the title of the promised One, who just like Jesus howbeit without the fleshly body will lead us in “ALL Spiritual Truth”.

The battles that are to be won in undeniable victory in 2023 will be won Spiritually (Zech 4:6). Those who will rise above and live the life that is referred to as the overcoming, more than a conquer lifestyle are those whose life is being led by Holy Spirit and Holy Spirit alone. It will be a life centered on rendering all the Glory to the Father, Son, and Spirit. For we know that as was the case with Jesus, so it is the case with Holy Spirit, that He does nothing apart from the Father or the Son.

They conquered him completely through the blood of the Lamb and the powerful word of his testimony. They triumphed because they did not love and cling to their own lives, even when faced with death. (Revelations 12:11, TPT)

A few months back I was taken in a vision back to a young age of not yet a teenager. In this vision, Holy Spirit showed me the most horrific figure I have ever witnessed, it even smelled of rotten flesh. I stepped back unable to identify what I was seeing, however, I did recognize two individuals. One was my best friend at that time. The older man I remembered as he was the uncle of the grocery store owner in the small northern Maine town I lived in at that time.

The sight of this creature and its smell began to make me quiver and felt as though I was going to vomit. I asked Holy Spirit why He brought me there. He explained that this was a place in y life’s timeline where the spirit of lust had entered in. This spirit had kept me captive in a prison for almost my whole life, yet I didn’t know when that door had opened. I had prayed for years for the revelation, yet I had to this point not seen it.

Holy Spirit said gather your strength for a moment as I want to share something with you. The scene, like a movie, began to play This scene was one that I had either forgotten or buried under a wall of guilt and shame. I slowly began to gather myself and began to remember, my friend and I were about 11 years old at the time. We were riding our bikes near the town dump and this man asked if we could help him move something.

After we were done, he asked us if we wanted some soda, to which we both said yes. As we were drinking the soda, he started asking us what we thought about girls. At that time we didn’t have much good to say, basically that they were pests in our eyes. He then showed us a magazine and in it were pictures of naked girls. At that point, embarrassed, we quickly finished our soda and said we had to go.

At this point in the vision, as we were leaving the room I saw something I could remember seeing, it was a dark figure with evil, almost snake-like eyes and it started to follow us out. It stopped just short of leaving the man’s home.

A couple of weeks later, we rode to the dump again in search of treasures that we were sure people had unknowingly thrown away. Once again as we were leaving to go home, this man invited us in. And again he showed us the magazines. This time we stayed a bit longer and as we were leaving that dark figure followed us out. This went on for several weeks, each time upon leaving the figure would follow us a little further.

One day towards the end of summer on our weekly visit, he began to show us videos. We stayed there for several hours almost in a trance, and this time as we left, there were two figures, however, they didn’t stop following us on our way out. Then Holy Spirit said, now I want to show you something that may shock you. I hesitantly said ok. At that moment, as we got on our bikes, it seemed like these two figures disappeared. Then I found myself looking in the bike mirror on my handlebars and saw my face. Horrified is almost too gentle of a word yet it is all I can come up with at this time. I was horrified as I looked in the mirror, for my eyes had taken on the form of the dark creature. As I looked at my friend, in shock I saw the same thing had happened to his eyes.

Holy Spirit then said “It was at this time when you unknowingly welcomed this demon of lust into your life. Yes, you were walking in youthful innocence, yet the enemy took full advantage of that innocence. Then I looked back and saw that horrific foul-smelling creature and said is that him?

Holy Spirit said “Yes, that is him.

I then asked Holy Spirit why have you waited so long to show me this? He said I didn’t show you before now as up to this point the enemy would have deceived using legalistic religion to trap you into believing that it was your fault. It wasn’t, it was the older gentleman and hell’s fault. However, now you are not only strong enough to handle this truth, but you have also stepped into and embraced your identity as that of a New Creation, as a son of the Father, Along with that you are now knowledgable of the Spiritual weapons that you have inherited as well as trained in their use.

At that moment, as though a command or permission had been given, in what was almost like an out-of-body experience I watched my Spirit man move at the speed of light as though he was on fire, welding a flaming sword, he not only took the head off that demon, he then proceeded to cut him to pieces. That image of my Spirit man closely resembles the image I found and have used since then in my profile photo and the logo of Remnant Warrior Ministries. It was after this vision that Holy Spirit said the Father is given you a new name, WindWalker.

From June up until now, I have dealt with several other demons that have tormented me over the years, and with the help and guidance of Holy Spirit they have been defeated.

I share this testimony in light of Revelations 12:11, for it is indeed only by the Blood and the testimony of the Lord’s work in me that has allowed me to stand in Victory. I pray that this will bring liberty to others as well. People do not realize the demonic trap that porn leads its victims into. It robs people of freedom in so many ways,. It can destroy marriages and whole families. It is literally a spiritual door that opens one up to a multitude of demonic entities, for lust is not just satisfied with sex, it wants to rule every place in one’s life from money, and relationships all the way to one’s possessions. It wants to imprison people in any and every way possible.

                                        So if the Son sets you free from sin, then become a true son and be unquestionably free!                                    
 (John 8:36, TPT)

I thank the Father, that I can truly give praise, glory, and honor to the Lord Jesus Christ for completely setting me free!!!

For the weapons of our warfare are not [a]carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ, and being ready to punish all disobedience when your obedience is fulfilled. (2 Corinthians 10:4-6)

We see the spirits of perversion, disease, and wickedness roaming through our streets, schools, marketplace, houses of government, and even in some of God’s houses. They are outwardly anti-god in nature and are openly seeking to destroy everything pure, holy, and righteous.

They have an agenda to not just silence the righteous but to totally annihilate us unless we bow down to their ideology. And we would be blind not to see that they have infiltrated every aspect of our society to where they have currently taken over the leadership of this nation from the school house board to the white house.

How could this happen? Has God abandoned us? Should we hunker down and pray for a rescue party as some false doctrines insinuate?

Neither according to scripture.

In fact, the Word of God is prophesying over the Bride today that she is a victorious Bride, that she has not been left unarmed or abandoned & alone. The Word prophesies over her today that she is the best-armed military in the battle between the Kingdom of Light (Truth) and the kingdom of darkness (ignorant deception).

Along with that, the Father has dispatched legions of His warring Angels to assist us in this battle. As well, 24/7 a day the war room is open to any Saint who wants to get encouraged and receive directives in order to obtain the winning strategy. Yes brothers and sisters, through Christ we have complete and total access to the Throneroom of God our Father.

Thus, the only reason we are seeing these evil spirits gaining strongholds in our nation is that many haven’t even entered into that battle to fight. They are hiding behind the cowardly pastor leading them and false doctrines.

The truth is according to the Word of the Lord, the enemy has zero authority and zero power, however, he has been highly successful at stealing both from the saints and using it against them.

How could this be?

I will tell you how, it is all because the masses have been deceived as to who they are, and what power they have. Most importantly they have been hidden from a major truth which is written right in plain sight to the Spirit-filled, born from above Child of God.

Here is the real, God-ordained truth: based upon our family bloodline and the victory our LORD won on the cross, the inheritance of victory is ours. We are the victorious Bride who shall rule and reign with the King of kings, Jesus Christ for all eternity. This earth is His Kingdom which being His inheritance is ours as well. Time to come out of the bomb shelters of religion and take back our nation!!!

 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.

(2 Corinthians 5:17, KJV)

In Old Testament prophecy we have a very distinct revelation of God’s ideal of the New Testament saint. He is a redeemed sinner who, under the provisions and influences of “the new covenant,” has been divinely cleansed “from all filthiness and from all his idols,” and whose “iniquities shall be sought for, and there shall be none; and his sins, and they shall not be found.”

“The sun is no more his light by day, neither for brightness does the moon give light unto him; but the Lord is unto him an everlasting light, and his God his glory. His sun does no more go down, neither does his moon withdraw itself: for the Lord is his everlasting light, and the days of his mourning are ended.”

In his experience has been realized, and is being realized, all that was spoken of by the prophet Joel: “And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of My Spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams; and on My servants and on My handmaidens I will pour out in those days of My Spirit; and they shall prophesy.”

In the New Testament this “new man” is revealed as “after God created in righteousness and true holiness,” and as “renewed in knowledge after the image of Him that created him;” as “beholding with open face the glory of the Lord, and being changed into the same image from glory to glory;” “as comprehending the breadth, and length, and depth, and height, and knowing the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, and being filled with all the fullness of God;” as “walking in the light, as God is In the New Testament this “new man” is revealed as “after God created in righteousness and true holiness,” and as “renewed in knowledge after the image of Him that created him;” as “beholding with open face the glory of the Lord, and being changed into the same image from glory to glory;” “as comprehending the breadth, and length, and depth, and height, and knowing the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, and being filled with all the fullness of God;” as “walking in the light, as God is in the light;” as “having been made perfect in love;” and as “having fellowship with the Father, and with His Son Jesus Christ.”

To him “Christ manifests Himself,” and is formed within him “the hope of glory.” He is “crucified with Christ,” and “by the cross is crucified to the world, and the world to him.” “He is in the world as Christ was in the world,” and “in the name of Christ asks and receives until his joy is full;” and “believing in Christ he rejoices with joy unspeakable and full of glory.” “Out of his belly flow rivers of living water.” “When weak, he is made strong,” and “in tribulation, distress, persecution, famine, nakedness, peril, sword, death, and life,” he is “more than conqueror, through Him that hath loved us.”

The New Man displays the very Character of Christ

In him “tribulation worketh patience; and patience experience; and experience hope;” and “all things work together for his good.” When “troubled on every side, he is not distressed; when perplexed, he is not in despair; when persecuted, he is not forsaken; and when cast down, he is not destroyed.” In every condition of existence, he finds deep content in the center of the sweet will of God, and verifies in experience the great central fact of the Divine life–that “we can do all things through Christ who strengtheneth us.”

Clad in the panoply of God, “he stands in the evil day,” and “quenches all the fiery darts of the wicked.” “His faith groweth exceedingly,” and his “charity aboundeth;” and be is constantly growing “into the stature of the fullness of Christ.” He also “has power with God and with men.” “He asks what he will, and it is done unto him.” As reflecting the image and glory of Christ, he is “the light of the world” and the “salt of the earth.” Such is God’s revealed pattern of the New Testament saint, “the new man” whom we are required to “put on.”

Wisdom has built her house; she has hewn out her seven pillars: She has killed her sacrifice; she has mingled her wine; and she has furnished her table. 3 She has sent forth her maidens; she cries upon the highest places of the city, whosoever is simple, let him turn in here; as for those that lack understanding, she saith unto him, Come, eat of my bread, and drink of the wine which I have mingled. Forsake that which is foolish and live and go in the way of understanding. (Proverbs 9:1-6, JUB)

It wasn’t by chance that I picked this book up Sunday night and it fell open to chapter 8. I’ve read it several times and given away at least 15 copies of it. But I believe the Father was conveying a message to me through this divine appointment with this little gem of a book:

“Tell the Remnant to GET READY for something big and expect a huge harvest of Righteousness in the Month of September”.

And a harvest of righteousness is sown in peace for those who make peace.

James 3:18

For though the Remnants Righteous Warriors wage war in the Spiritual realm, it is so that the peace of Heaven shall invade the earth!!!


The Lips of the Righteous Shall Know the Will of God
Proverbs 9

The number nine is an interesting number in Scripture. It’s three multiplied by three, which in mathematical language is three squared. Three refers to life and planting, growing, and harvesting.

When the number is squared, the consequences of those factors relating to spiritual results are metaphorically squared too.

Therefore, as nine reflects the square of three, the planting, growing, and harvesting reflect the ultimate harvesting, the final judgment. The consequences of that judgment may be good or bad depending upon what was planted, how it was cultivated, and what was harvested.

As obedient children, do not conform to the evil desires you had when you lived in ignorance. 1 PETER 1:14

The Scriptures do not teach that the person of Jesus Christ nor any of the important offices that God has given Him can be divided or ignored according to the whims of men. Therefore, I must be frank in my feeling that a notable heresy has come into being throughout our evangelical Christian circles—the widely accepted concept that we humans can choose to accept Christ only because we need Him as Savior and we have the right to postpone our obedience to Him as Lord as long as we want to! A.W. Tozer.

This wisdom from Tozer totally dismantles the false doctrine of “ Still under construction”.

I was Director of mission not long ago where the doctrine of “Still under construction” was widely taught. Number one this doctrine denies the truth of 2 Corinthians 5:17 “Therefore if anyone is in Christ, they are a new creation: old things are passed away; behold, all things are made new.”

Number 2, it is toxic and a sin-laced spiritual leaven causing individuals to believe they can hold onto their sin-filled vices for as long as they want under the rule of grace.

For instance, there was a self-identified non-practicing gay male who considered himself to be a gay Christian who can hold onto that identity as long as he desires for he has the “grace card”. When I challenged him on this, I was thrown under the bus by other members of leadership as being legalistic (Common use with religious-minded individuals).

It is the same issue I have with 12-step programs being tossed around as Bible-based. To confess I am a recovering addict or drunk denies the truth in John 8:32 “Ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free”. Our words have power and when we confess to being a drunk, addict, or whatever false identity we give it authority, empowering it to raise hell in our lives. 

So does that means can I confess to being a recovering sinner? I can if I don’t want to be obedient to the command (not a suggestion) of Jesus to sin no more. If I am saved I am freed from the dominion of sin and empowered through true biblical grace to live a life as such.

For years I lived reading the Word as word on paper. It wasn’t until I came under the teaching of Apostle Damon Thompson that I realized the Word is Jesus (John 1:1). It isn’t a set of rules or guidelines to live by, it is the very food needed to grow into His image. You can pick and choose the ingredients, to have to consume it ALL.

There is a Holy Fire of Conviction that has begun to fall upon the Bride. There is;t time to play games, you must either choose to follow Jesus without hesitation, understanding He is not willing to negotiate the terms of discipleship, it is clearly written in His Word.

In this Kingdom age, the carnally minded will be fooled and led astray, possibly missing the opportunity to spend eternity with the Lord. It is not a time for fun and games, this is WAR. Only those who hold onto His Word with a death grip of obedience will be able to stand against this next wave of evil.

I know what I have written above may upset and or offend some but it is stated with a heart to see you become free in Christ and live the life radically pursuing the Lover of our souls. 

This is not a doomsday message, this is a warning to not eat from the wrong tree This very moment in time must be viewed as a Joshua 24:15 moment:

 “And if it seems evil unto you to serve the LORD, choose you this day whom ye will serve, whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the river or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell; but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD”.

If you are lacking the faith, ask the Father and watch as He increases it. If you are not sure whether you are baptized in the Spirit, ask Holy Spirit and get ready for His Holy Fire.

To those who bear witness to this message, I am asking you to join me in a 7-day fast (either water only or a Daniel fast) for this coming election, for the soul of this nation. During these 7 days, we are to seek the Father for His strategies in prayer. Take this opportunity to cleanse your body and refresh your Spirit.

Blessings,

It is true that many receive and many more claim to receive revelationary visions from the Father. Yet when a revelation isn’t activated and put into action it becomes a dead vision and many are they who sit in an idle state of complacency as their visions die.

I am often left speechless when I hear someone’s vision or even that which the Father has given me, only to receive jealous responses such as “But your not the only one that God has given that vision to, I have had that vision for years before you got one” As well as other remarks coated in sarcasm.


I always praise the Lord that He has so blessed another brother or sister when I hear of a call on their lives or hear a vision pertaining to an assignment they received from the Father.

But what about the naysayers? What about those who operate with a critical spirit?

My question to them is:

Ok, what are you doing about it?

Or could you possibly have had the call removed due to your lack of action, faith, and trust in the Father’s ability to see the fulfillment of that vision come to pass?

And Terah took Abram his son, and Lot the son of Haran his son's son, and Sarai his daughter-in-law, his son Abram's wife; and they went forth with them from Ur of the Chaldees, TO GO into the land of Canaan; and they came unto Haran, and dwelt there. (Gen 11:31)

It’s interesting to note that Abraham’s father Terah was actually going to the promised land (Canaan). But due to his mourning his son’s loss, he settled for the loss rather than the promised land. (Many scholars believe Terah named the land Haran as a memorial to his son)

We can this throughout history and even in our day. Many who have received a vision and or call from the Lord somewhere along the way, settled for something less, generally due to some distraction that the enemy brought into their lives. And they end up living the rest of their days in the hopeless state of remembering “What could have been”.

Holy Spirit was sharing this with me last night when He whispered;

“The Remnant Pioneers of the Kingdom will never settle for anything short of what has been promised” #SELAH

Then He went on to caution me and for me to caution others in the Remnant that many will rise up against the calling of the Lord in our lives to try and discourage us or belittle us. However, we must stand strong, stand united, and not at any point get caught up in listening to the lies and twisted logic of the wayward ones as they attempt to hijack our destinies. They are merely trying to pull others into their pitty party of misery, for in truth they are but reaping the harvest from the seeds of compromise and complacency that they’ve sown into their own lives.

Stand strong, let us keep our eyes fixed on Jesus “The pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him, he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God” (Hebrews 12:2, NIV).

~ Russ G. Welch, A.K.A. Windwalker


He has delivered us from the power of darkness and conveyed us into the kingdom of the Son of His love, in whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins. He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through Him and for Him. And He is before all things, and in Him all things consist. And He is the head of the body, the church, who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in all things He may have the preeminence. (Colossians 1:13-20, NKJV)

I believe that one of the major short-comings of modern-day evangelism is that people are being enticed to follow Jesus based on what He can do for them rather than being introduced to Jesus Himself – Jesus alone is enough (why so many quickly fall away, not being truly converted) #SELAH

Jesus brought the following charge against the Church in Ephesus in Revelations chapter 2:4 “Nevertheless I have this against you, that you have left your first love”.

And I feel as though much of the modern day Church, especially in America has done the same. For if those who are truly saved, have been saved in a large part due to the fact that they fell head over heels in love with Jesus. I know I did in 2016, before that, I was in love with the Americanized version of the “whose got talent” Jesus that came with the coveted get out of hell free card. The truth is, I spun out of control over and over again for a number of years.

However, after my encounter with the true Jesus on March 29, 2016 during a ministry retreat in Saluda North Carolina, my eyes began to be opened, and my heart beacme swelled to overflowing capacities with a deep rich, love for the Son of God. It was only then, having my spiritual eyes opend that Holy Spirit began to show me about my false conversion. How it was not really love, that I was not truly following Jesus as my Lord,  especially when I would become so filled with anger when He wouldn’t do “what I demanded of Him”.

Today I can but shout YAY GOD, for Jesus alone is enough for me . Even if the world began crumbling all around me (and there has been times over the past 6 years that it has felt as though it was), simply knowing that He is my Savior, and the reality of knowing that He truly loves me is more than enough.

In his book “The practice of the Presence of God”, Brother Lawrence wrote how he once said to the Lord, “Even if you don’t save me, I will still love you”. That my friends is true love!!!

For to truly fall in love with someone is when you love them simply for “who they are”, not because of what they have or what they can do for you. Let’s be real for a moment, if you love someone based on what you get out of the deal, it is in reality a self centered love and in all honesty, is not real. Such love will quickly burn out once one finds that the other person can no longer meet your needs (greeds).

Brothers and sisters, we must return to the foundations of our faith and fully trust in the POWER of the Cross and the Gospel message of Jesus combined with the anointing of Holy Spirit to reach the lost. The Gospel message needs no help for it fully contains everything necessary to attract, cleanse and fully transform any individual who puts all their trust in Christ as their Savior.

It’s time to stop promoting and trying to sell the mythological Jesus created by Western theology and modern day celebrity preachers, and return to presenting the Christ of the Bible, the One true Son of God. For then and only then shall we begin to enter into the Great Harvest and start seeing the Lost coming into the Light of the Kingdom of Heaven. 

We need to receive and live out of the Revelation that Paul received when he wrote “For our gospel came not unto you in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Ghost, and in much assurance; as ye know what manner of men we were among you for your sake” (1 Thessalonians 1:5).

I believe with all my heart, having a deep holy conviction that when we, the Remnant, grasp hold of the revelation of the power of the Gospel in truth, it will only be then that we shall begin witnessing what Paul and the other disciples who preached the true Gospel in the power of Holy Spirit witnessed “For they themselves shew of us what manner of entering in we had unto you, and how ye turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God;” ( 1 Thessalonians 1:9).

Father, I pray that You will pour out Your Spirit upon Your Remnant today, removing any and all religiosity off from them and Baptism them afresh in the FIRE of Pentecost. Awaken them and send them out to begin harvesting the Great fields of lost souls, and also empower them as to the return this nation, America, back to You that we may as a nation fulfill Your purpose in this hour, and doing ALL to the Glory, Honor and Praise of the Godhead, In Jesus Mighty Name, Amen

“If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.” (Gal. 5:25)

Could it be that we do not have many in the Church today who are burning ones, due to the fact that many lean not upon the empowering presence of the Fiery One, Holy Spirit?

Instead, we find a majority of Christian Churches leaning upon the recital of a prayer that is not found anywhere in scripture?

Does not the scriptures clearly state that unless one be born from above?

Are not these quotes found in the Word: “That which is born of the flesh is flesh, that which is born of the Spirit is Spirit. “Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the Kingdom of God.” “If any man be in Christ, he is a new creature; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.”

Yet seldom do we witness one’s life being radically changed after the prayer is said.

Wait a minute. Has not the Church modeled the world in building Biblical education institutes modeled after the world with the goal of producing individuals, who are proficient in religious intellectualism?

The most exalted intellect, and the most attractive, natural disposition, reach no higher than the earth itself.

The Kingdom of Heaven consists of the family of God, those who have risen to an entirely different sphere, and received a nature as much above the intellectual and the moral as God is above an angel.

It is not a prayer that is needed, it is not religious intellectualism.

No, my friends, it is the power of the Gospel drawing one to their knees where they surrender all and having done so receive the seal of the Kingdom via the baptism in FIRE that is so desperately needed in our day.

Enough of the religious games, enough with the wasting of the children’s bread (Finances) on worldly education models meant for the store-house for God’s family.

We can not lose another generation to a stick, hay, and stubble religious system lacking in Holy Spirit empowering fire.

We need a reformation of spiritual fathers and mothers!!!

It is time for the Bride to wake up, time for the Remnant to stand up, and time for the Church to return to the foundational teachings of Red Letters and put ALL of our trust in the hands of the promised One, Holy Spirit.

Release the hounds of Heaven to rout out the foxes and send them fleeing from the Father’s houses across this nation.

It is time for a major rallying of the revivalist minute men, sending them from town to town ‘Get ready for the day of Salvation has come!!!

“You will keep in perfect and constant peace the one whose mind is steadfast [that is, committed and focused on You—in both inclination and character], Because he trusts and takes refuge in You [with hope and confident expectation]. (Isaiah 26:3)

There are many in the Church today who are filled with fear, stress, anxiety, and a host of other unbridled emotions which operate totally opposite of the peace this passage describes.

Jesus taught His disciples foundational keys to be able to live in the overflowing abundance of peace in His Kingdom that so many miss. Sermons and memorized passages do not do that which Holy Spirit can with scripture as in Spiritually tattooing it upon our hearts.

No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon. (Matthew 6:24, KJV)

Here is a verse that people quote all the time, yet many of those who quote this are in deep prisons of fear and anxiety when it comes to finances. Many families, friendships and marriages are destroyed over finances.

Jesus follows this passage with a key to peace when He said:

Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment? (Matthew 6:25, KJV)

This often read yet faintly practiced truth is an amazing key to the peace of the Kingdom. Yet when one’s heart is ensnared with the worldly belief that money is where peace is found, they are blocked from experiencing the peace of God.

Then the Lord goes deeper, to the root of one’s heart as He states the following to His disciples:

Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they? Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature?

And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin: And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.

Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which today is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith? Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed? (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things. (Matthew 6:26-32, KJV)

My friends, these teachings of our Lord when taking and put in to action are vessels of spiritual truths and are weapons against the enemy’s traps of stealing our peace. When it comes to financial matters as well as other areas in our lives, these truths when blended with faith will destroy the stronghold of Satan, which are fortified forts in our thinking blocking us from seeing and experiencing the peace of God.

I am not saying that money is bad, neither was the Lord, He is equipping the disciples to walk in Kingdom stewardship. When we trust in God we should be able to create wealth in ways the world only dreams of. But our peace cannot be in the wealth, it must be centered in the Kingdom.

This is witnessed in Jesus bringing this lesson to His disciples with:

But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. (Matthew 6:33, KJV)

He goes on to add the icing on top of this lesson with:

Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof. (Matthew 6:34, KJV)

When we focus on the Kingdom and His Righteousness, we demolish the powerful spiritual lure of cultural trends which reek of worldly philosophies and are grounded in selfish thinking, robbing us of his peace. The “Like the Jones’s” or “better than the Jones’s” mindsets are all birthed in the fallen nature thought process. It feeds into the spirit of envy and ultimately feeds the spirit of pride. Keeping us entrenched with everything but the Kingdom and His Righteousness.

So today, brothers and sisters, seek after His Kingdom and His righteousness first, trusting every area of your life to the hands of our loving Father. Ask Holy Spirit for divine encounters and wisdom from on high. By keeping your focus on the Kingdom and the King, the enemy will have no access to steal your peace.
