Here is an excerpt from my Book “God’s Rest; Unveiling the Finished Works of Christ on the Cross”, due to be released on March 1, 2024.

In this section, I share something very unique that I personally experienced from co-founding a ministry where we set out to build an authentic Kingdom family from 2015 to 2019.

“Building authentic relationships that support and encourage rest”

In our fast-paced and demanding world, finding true rest can often feel like an elusive goal.

As devoted followers of Jesus Christ, we strive to live out the principles of our faith, including the pursuit of spiritual rest as described in Hebrews 4:10. However, this journey towards rest is not meant to be walked alone. Building authentic relationships that support and encourage rest is vital to our spiritual well-being.

Authentic relationships are characterized by transparency, vulnerability, and a genuine desire to support one another. These relationships go beyond surface-level interactions and create a safe space where we can be our true selves.

In the context of rest, authentic relationships provide a nurturing environment where we can be honest about our struggles, fears, and anxieties. When we share our burdens with trusted friends, they can offer comfort, encouragement, and prayer, lightening our load and reminding us of God’s faithfulness.

To build authentic relationships that support and encourage rest, we must be intentional in our interactions. This involves actively seeking out individuals who share our desire for spiritual rest and are committed to journeying alongside us. It means investing time and energy into cultivating these relationships and prioritizing quality conversations and meaningful connections. In a world saturated with superficial social interactions, authentic relationships require effort, but the rewards are immeasurable.

In these relationships, we can find accountability and encouragement to prioritize rest. Often, in our pursuit of success and productivity, rest takes a backseat. We neglect the importance of Sabbath rest and push ourselves beyond our limits. However, when we have authentic relationships that understand the significance of rest, they can remind us of its necessity and hold us accountable to prioritize it. They can gently challenge our workaholic tendencies and encourage us to find a healthy balance between work and rest.

Furthermore, building authentic relationships that support and encourage rest fosters a sense of belonging and community. It reminds us that we are not alone in our struggles and that others are walking a similar journey toward spiritual rest. These relationships provide opportunities for mutual growth, where we can learn from one another’s experiences, share our insights, and support each other’s spiritual development.

In conclusion, building authentic relationships that support and encourage rest is essential for devoted followers of Jesus Christ. As we navigate the challenges of our modern world and seek to unveil the spiritual rest described in Hebrews 4:10, we need the support and encouragement of trusted friends. These relationships provide a safe space for vulnerability, accountability, and growth. By investing in authentic relationships, we can find the support and encouragement we need on our journey towards spiritual rest.

The transformative power of knowing the Father’s love

The transformative power of the “Beloved Identity” in John’s Gospel. In reading the Gospel of John, we find ourselves, witnessing this disciple encounter Jesus’ love in a way that not only shapes their own journey but also offers us a powerful lens through which to experience that love ourselves.

Transformation Within the Beloved Disciple:

Reclining at the Last Supper: This intimate gesture speaks volumes about Jesus’ acceptance and affection. It likely transformed the disciple’s perception of himself, granting him confidence and fostering a deeper sense of belonging within Jesus’ inner circle.

Entrusted with Mary at the Crucifixion: This act not only highlighted the deep trust Jesus placed in the disciple but also entrusted him with a profound responsibility – caring for his mother in a moment of immense grief. This experience would undoubtedly have deepened the disciple’s understanding of Jesus’ compassion and sacrifice.

Receiving revelations after the resurrection: Witnessing Jesus’ post-resurrection appearances and receiving special revelations likely solidified the disciple’s faith and ignited a burning desire to share the Gospel with the world.

Impact on Readers:

Witnessing the Beloved’s transformation: By observing the impact of Jesus’ love on the beloved disciple, we can imagine and hope for a similar transformation in our own lives. Their journey becomes a model for how Jesus’ love can heal, empower, and inspire us to live out his teachings.

Experiencing God’s love through the Beloved: The disciple’s close relationship with Jesus creates a bridge for us to connect with God’s love ourselves. Witnessing their intimacy can open our hearts to receiving and reflecting that same love in our own lives and relationships.

Embracing the Beloved Identity: Recognizing the symbolic potential of the disciple allows us to see ourselves reflected in their story. We can all aspire to become “beloved disciples” – individuals who actively seek a deeper understanding of Jesus, embody his love, and strive for closer intimacy with him.

Challenges and Considerations:

Avoiding an idealized image: It’s important to remember that the “beloved disciple” is presented in a highly idealized way in the Gospel. While we can strive for similar traits, it’s crucial to avoid comparing ourselves too harshly or feeling inadequate.

Focusing on our own journey: Ultimately, the transformative power of the “Beloved Identity” lies in its ability to inspire our own unique relationship with Jesus. Instead of solely focusing on the disciple, we should use their story as a springboard to explore our own paths of growth and deepen our personal connection with God.

Remember, the transformative power of the “Beloved Identity” lies not in achieving a perfect image but in embracing the ongoing journey of growth in Jesus’ love. As we open our hearts to his love, just like the disciple in John’s Gospel, we can experience healing, empowerment, and a deeper understanding of ourselves and our place in the world.

In my own life over the past 8years of swimming in the revelation of the “Beloved Identity”, neatly wrapped in John’s Gospel my own life has been radically changed due to this revelation. And probably the most defining change has been that of the depth of intimacy that I now have with the Lord.

I believe that one of the core impacts of knowing our identity is the rest it brings to the individual who no longer questions how the God of the Universe looks and feels about them. Just knowing that the Father’s love for each one us is bigger than the largest ocean, and runs deeper than the depths of the deepest sea, will totally dismiss the voice of rejection, guilt, and condemnation.

Friend, if you do not know how much God loves you, Holy Spirit is inviting you to take a journey with Him that will bring you into the fullness of revelation as to how much the Father loves you. And once you settle into that revelation and it settles in you, your life will never be the same!!!!

And the Journey Continues………

Time to expose the Evil of Replacement Theology

Posted: October 11, 2023 in Kingdom Teaching, Remnant, Spiritual warfare, teaching

Regardless of the religious naysayers … even considering facing persecution from parties deeply anchored within the Church, under the Governing authority of Holy Spirit, I feel compelled to expose this evil anti-Israel doctrine for what it is, a demonic strategy of Satan to wipe the Jewish nation off the map….

It is of utmost importance to seek Holy Spirit discernment in this hour, especially regarding Israel, for there are puppets of deception pushing a demonic narrative that the nation of Israel is no longer of the Lord. That the New Covenant Church has replaced Israel. We would have to throw out whole portions of the Book of Revelation to even try to get this to be true.

This a lie from the pits of hell, as our God, unlike the false god they are serving is a covenant-keeping God. Thank the Lord that He is such a loving, promise-keeping God, if He were not then the whole world would be condemned.

The reality is that this speaks loudly as to the fact that those who preach and teach these doctrines of perversion have never encountered the Father of our Lord and Messiah Jesus Christ.

If you encounter such, shake the sand off your sandals and flee, for the peace of the Lord does not reside in the house.

Let us briefly look at the demonic side of Replacement Theology by going to the root of it. Just like the terrorists who attacked Israel last weekend and continue in their attack on this Sovereign nation, we must understand that is grounded in Satan’s hatred of the Jewish people. Satan hates the Jews with a passion for several reasons:

1. God chose them to be His witness to the world.
2. Through them God gave the world the Bible.
3. Through them God gave the world the Messiah.
4. God has promised that He will save a great remnant of them.
5. God has promised that through that remnant He will bless all the nations of the world during the Millennial reign of Jesus.

Satan is determined to destroy every Jew on planet Earth so that God cannot keep His promises to them.

We must discern this and allow Holy Spirit to show us how this is part of Satan’s strategy. This demonic strategy includes his infecting the Church with what was historically been called “Supersessionism”.

This is the idea that God has replaced the Jews with the Church. It was only in the 20th Century that this concept came to be known as Replacement Theology.
A modern example of this infiltration and teaching of ‘Supersessionism is the teachings of Karl Barth (1886-1968). He stated:

The first Israel, constituted on the basis of physical descent from Abraham, has fulfilled its mission now that the Savior of the world has sprung from it and its Messiah has appeared. Its members can only accept this fact with gratitude, and in confirmation of their own deepest election and calling, attach themselves to the people of this Savior, their own King, whose members the Gentiles are now called to be as well. Its [Israel’s] mission as a natural community has now run its course and cannot be continued or repeated.

The far more common type of Supersessionism, and the type that has characterized the Church almost from its beginning, is called Punitive Supersessionism. It emphasizes Israel’s disobedience to God and their subsequent justifiable punishment by God and their displacement as the people of God.

To put it another way, “The Chosen People of Israel have been replaced by the Church because the Jewish nation acted wickedly and has forfeited the right to be the people of God.
This my friends highlights the demonic nature of such teachings which have planted seeds within the Church that have sprouted roots of anti-Semitism.

A study of Church history will expose these roots that have, for almost 2,000 years infected segments of the Church, within both Catholic and Protestant.

Such teachings within certain circles of the Church have maintained that due to the fact that the Jews rejected Jesus as their Messiah, God poured out His wrath on them in 70 AD, destroying their nation and their Temple, and in the process, He washed His hands of them, leaving them with no purpose whatsoever as a nation.

In short, because of their continuing disobedience and their rejection of Jesus, God has replaced Israel with the Church, transferring the blessings promised to Israel to the Church.

One of the most devastating ends of this demonic theology found its roots stemming right into the core of Nazism and what they perceived the Jews to be. Hilter was a student of the demonic doctrine, engrained into his mind by false theologians within the circles he grew up in.

I believe this was one of the reasons the Lord raised up a mighty champion of the Faith from Germany, Diedrich Bonhoeffer to expose this false doctrine. Let us be students of history and not be found in deception. Let us make a bold stand and not be like the Church of Germany, who feared man over obedience in standing for the truth.

We are witnessing this same demonized mindset being engrained within the Islamic populations pretty much from birth that are at war with Israel and the Jewish people around the world. It is like a cancer that is even seen raising its ugly head in our nation The Remnant of the Lord has been commissioned to and we must cut the head of the snake off, wherever it appears.

The Bible’s answer to this false doctrine is clear.

In direct contradiction to Replacement Theology, the Bible teaches that the Jews have never been replaced with the Church by God because of their unbelief. In Romans 3 Paul asserts point blank that their rejection of Jesus has not nullified God’s faithfulness to the promises He has made to them:
1) What advantage has the Jew?

2) Great in every respect. First of all, they were entrusted with the oracles of God.

3) What then? If some did not believe, their unbelief would not nullify the faithfulness of God, will it?

4) May it never be! Rather, let God be found true though every man be found a liar…

Paul makes the same point again in Romans 11:1 where he asks: “God has not rejected His people, has He?” Some not all in the Church have responded for 2,000 years has been “Yes!” But Paul’s response is exactly the opposite: “May it never be! For I too am an Israelite, a descendant of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin. God has not rejected His people whom He foreknew…”

It is true that many of the Jewish people are currently under discipline because of their rejection of their Messiah. Over and over in their Scriptures, the prophets said they would be disciplined if they were unfaithful, but always the promise was made that they would be preserved.

An example of this type of prophetic statement can be found in Jeremiah 30:11:

“For I am with you,” declares the Lord, “to save you; for I will destroy completely all the nations where I have scattered you, only I will not destroy you completely. But I will chasten you justly, and will by no means leave you unpunished.”

God has preserved them in His grace because He loves them. In Zechariah 2:8 God proclaims that the Jewish people are “the apple of His eye,” and He warns against anyone trying to harm them.

Another reason they have been preserved is because God is determined to bring a great remnant to salvation (Isaiah 10:20-22).

This promise is made repeatedly throughout the Hebrew Scriptures and is confirmed by Paul in the New Testament in Romans 9-11.

The salvation of this remnant is described in detail in Zechariah 12:10 where it says that at the end of the Tribulation the remaining Jews will come to the end of themselves and will turn their hearts to God in repentance and accept Yeshua as their Messiah.

The Remnant of the Lord in this generation must stand up and sound the alarm to this Satan-contrived doctrine of deception. Holy Spirit bears witness to the truth that the Father has not turned His back on the nation of Israel nor the Jewish population around the world. He loves both with the same love He has for Ekklesia.

Let us at every opportunity expose the preachers of deception and expose their Churches for the frauds they are. Let us do so by invoking the full authority of our sonship and silence these voices.

Remnant, we must be using weaponized prayers

Even as Daniel stood in the gap for Israel, drawing reinforcements from Heaven in the way of Angelic assistance, including the chief messenger Angel, Gabriel, and the Mighty Warring Angel Michael.

So is the Lord calling His Remnant in this hour, to stand in the gap for America and Israel. Our prayers are by far superior to the many voices releasing toxic demonic words such as BLM and other radical terrorist organizations operating within our own borders.

They (our prayers) have the POWER to that of canceling the evil rhetoric coming from the student groups at our universities such as Harvard, Yale, and UCLA. We know that there are even corrupt demonic voices within our State and Federal government.

Holy Spirit reminds us of the strategies we have written right in the Word of the Lord such as:

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 servants of the Lord, and their righteousness is of me, saith the Lord. (Isaiah 54:17, KJV – Emphasis added)

As well as;

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

For the weapons of our warfare are not physical [weapons of flesh and blood], but they are mighty before God for the overthrow and destruction of strongholds, [Inasmuch as we] refute arguments and theories and reasonings and every proud and lofty thing that sets itself up against the [true] knowledge of God; and we lead every thought and purpose away captive into the obedience of Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One), Being in readiness to punish every [insubordinate for his] disobedience, when your own submission and obedience [as a church] are fully secured and complete. (2 Corinthians 10:3-6, AMPC)

We are the Army of the Lord stationed here on Earth and we have been commissioned with ALL the Power and Authority in Christ to stand, defend, Advance, and Occupy His Kingdom here on Earth with Dominion authority.

As His Ekklesia, we are the legislature of the Lord’s government here on Earth, with the Authority to speak forth and watch as His decrees are established throughout the nations.

Trust me, it is way too easy to get caught up in the emotions surrounding us at this hour. Holy Spirit reminded me of this in my morning walk.

He reminded me that the main tactic of the enemy is to draw us into the position of doing battle in the flesh, knowing that when we war in the Spirit, he has no ability to defeat us. Holy Spirit then reminded me to remember that the Shepherd boy king, David, won the battle in the Spirit over the giant, he refused to put on the armor of the flesh.

So let us enter our prayer rooms in this hour, let us release our weaponized prayers with Spiritually strategic eagle-eyed accuracy being directed at the strongholds of the enemy, to bring mass confusion in the camps of the demonic and their human puppets, to render them defeated, and ultimately destroy them to such a degree that they can never again be rebuilt.

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.

Establishing Apostolic Remnant Hubs

Posted: September 28, 2023 in Kingdom Teaching, Prophetic, Remnant, teaching
Tags: , , ,

For first of all, when ye come together in the congregation, [Gr. ekklesia – called out ones] I hear that there are divisions among you; and I partly believe it. For it is expedient that there also be heresies among you, so that those who are proved may become manifest among you (1 Corinthians 11:18-19, JUB)

The Apostle Paul basically is saying here that there MUST be divisions amongst you.

So go ahead!

Divide with self-proclaiming Christians who are pro-abortion. Divide with self-proclaiming Christians that approve of homosexual marriage. Divide with self-proclaiming Christians who think boys can become girls and girls can become boys. Divide with self-proclaiming Christians that are actually false prophets and false witnesses causing unhealthy divisions by spreading lies, deception, and gossip into the true Body of Christ, His Ellkesa and Remnant.

Divide and keep your peace!

The Lord is Establishing Apostolic Remnant Hubs throughout the nations

One day Jesus will separate the sheep from the goats. However, for the present time, the authentic Congregations of the Lord will be recognized as a faction, smaller gatherings that are operating in Greater Spiritual authority.

And I believe as do others that part of Holy Spirit’s warfare strategies in this hour will be the disbursement of Remnant Warrior Apostolic hubs regionally.

These Hubs will be much like the communities that surrounded the Lord’s leaders in ancient Ireland and Scotland known as the thin places, where the realms of Heaven were accessed with little interference here on earth.

And I believe that in this year, 5784, we will begin to witness these Spiritual doors opening to where His Bride will begin to experience 24/7 habitation of the Lord’s presence operating in and around their lives.

Holy Spirit is not like the modern-day commanders who sit behind locked doors in tiny rooms viewing the battle, He is a hands-on commander of the Angel armies, and the Lord’s Remnant army here on earth.

These Remnant outposts are tasked with routing out the enemy, tearing down their fortified strongholds, and establishing the dominion of authority of the Kingdom

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!!!!

Holy Spirit is seeking surrendered Vessels to fill with GLORY

I am trying to help you and make things easier for you and not make things difficult, but so that you would have undistracted devotion, serving the Lord constantly with an undivided heart. (1Corinthians 7:35, TPT)

I believe one of the greatest weapons the enemy has, is that of distractions. In the garden, Eve had no reason to be hungry, yet Satan was able to distract her attention to put that sense of need and fulfillment into her mind.

How many testimonies have been given, of young people who were going to do great exploits for the Kingdom and ended up getting distracted by a relationship?

How many ministries and or marriages have been destroyed due to the distraction of an affair?

King David, being a warrior king, should have been at war, and due to him becoming complacent, the enemy ended up putting a distraction in lue of place where he already had David hooked (lust) causing him to seduce (some say raped) another man’s wife. He had hundreds of wives, who could have satisfied his lustful thirst

Satan lured him deceptively leading him to believe that; A. He needed her. and B. she would satisfy him. That is again how the enemy likes to work, putting an illusion of being fulfilled via a false appetite. Now, we must see that the enemy did this in order to hijack King David’s destiny which also impacted his family and the whole nation of Israel.

In the “have-it-now” generation in which we live, distractions abound,. However, those who are being led by Holy Spirit are spiritually armed to see these distractions for what they are. But the key is surrendering our desires to His authority. And in keeping our hearts centered on what matters the most.

True shepherds should be fueling the congregation’s hearts with Spiritual food that not just satisfies them but emboldens them to seek the King, His Kingdom, and Righteousness. Yet in the many social clubs across this nation, with their relevant messages, they are feeding their lust for the things of the flesh, which are but temporary.

We see our Lord warning us::

Jesus responded, “Why do you keep looking backward to your past and have second thoughts about following me? When you turn back you are useless to God’s kingdom realm.” (Luke 9:62, TPT)

The hour is upon us when we will see the parable of the Ten Virgins playing out right before our eyes. For in the Kingdom Age in which we have entered, it is ]ALL about the King, His Kingdom, and Righteousness. The bad news for those who are merely playing Church, the hour to surrender is getting shorter and shorter.

But for those who have been born-again-from-above, having been baptized in the fires of Holy Spirit, we are secure, for as the WORD declares we are the Righteousness of God in Christ!!! (2 Corinthians 5:21).

We don’t need the pleasures and things of this world to attract our youth, we need men and women who carry the Supernatural presence of the Kingdom with them wherever they go. This is what our youth are looking for, not only the adventures with God, but they want to know who they are, what they’ve been created for, and that they are LOVED!!!

There are congregations where these Spiritual foods are being not just prepared for Sunday brunch, but consumed on a daily basis, these are Kingdom families that are expanding the Kingdom, rescuing the lost, feeding the widows, and setting the captives free. It is not about religious programs, it is not about religious outreaches of the Church so that they can get a good name in the city. This is the Kingdom lifestyle being lived out in Power and Authority!!!

When one begins the dance of romance with the Father, Son, and Spirit, there is no room for distractions, there is no room for the enemy’s voice to even gain access. For the True Gospel vibrates with LOVE and Relationship.

It is why the Father is in the process of shutting down these imposter organizations, shaking them loose from using His Good name, these mundane, false gospel preaching houses of distraction. Like the corrupt governments of this world, these religious houses of distraction will be exposed as Icabod houses they truly are.

“My brothers and sisters, when I first came to proclaim to you the secrets of God, I refused to come as an expert, trying to impress you with my eloquent speech and lofty wisdom. For while I was with you I was determined to be consumed with one topic—Jesus, the crucified Messiah. I stood before you feeling inadequate, filled with reverence for God, and trembling under the sense of the importance of my words. The message I preached and how I preached it was not an attempt to sway you with persuasive arguments but to prove to you the almighty power of God’s Holy Spirit. For God intended that your faith not be established on man’s wisdom but by trusting in his almighty power.” (1 Corinthians 2:1-5, TPT)

We need men and women who have been through the fiery camp of Holy Spirit’s transformation, who carry the flames of the Father’s love in them. So HOT and Passionate, that they light fires where ever they go.

Are you tired of dead religion? Are you tired of seeing our youth stolen, our neighborhood decaying and our cities being thrown into chaos, cesspools of crime, drugs, and utter wickedness?

Are you tired of seeing our nation stolen right out from under our feet?

Then surrender your lives to the Government of the Holy Spirit, and turn your heart, dreams, and desires over to Him. Take a stand and watch as ALL of Heaven not only backs you up but actually stands with you!!!

These are the days when the surrendered vessels carrying the knowledge of the Glory of the Lord begin to break free from the distractions of this world and begin to illuminate His Glory causing the enemy to flee in fear.

The Father is calling you friend, Holy Spirit is wooing you into that circle dance of romance that you were always purposed to be part of. Today can be the first day of your life, where you feel to powerful weight of your destiny and purpose flowing up from within you like a Mighty Rushing River!!!

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!!!

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.
