Get off of the defensive, and get on the offensive! It is time to go after the devil and go after sin. The devil has quickened his efforts to defeat the Church. He is bringing every kind of corruption into our homes, schools, and communities, even into our Churches. It is time we fought him back. It is time we determine where his strike will be and get there ahead of him, instead of playing catch-up all the time. ~Lester Sumrall Militant Church 1990

Since Lester wrote this book the attack of the enemy has increased into a much larger crisis stage. An all-out assault is what we are seeing in this nation, in his attempt to silence the only thing standing between him and world dominance, The Ekklesia of Jesus Christ.

God has been training and stationing His Remnant around this nation in out-post that most of the compromised Church thumbs their religious hardened noses at, as puppets of the devil steeped in religion, they try to discredit the Radical Wild Ones of the Lord.

Sound familiar? One only needs to study the scriptures to see how the religious elite rose up in opposition against Jesus, His disciples, and the message of His Kingdom.

Today, like in the day of Joshua as Israel was posed to take possession of the promised land, the Children of God are at a crossroads. We either enter the fight for the soul of this nation, or we let the enemy take full possession and deny the promise of the Father with regard to His Ekklesia in full possession of America being His lit city on a hill.

As for myself, my family, and our Church family, today we choose to stand and fight – we choose the war for the promises of God for our families and for this nation. We will not remain silent and we are taking the fight to the devil.

What say you, fellow Saints?

With regard to the compromised Church and those who can’t decide to break free from the illusion of comfort they offer, listen to what Holy Spirit is saying today:

Wherefore Come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, And touch not the unclean thing; And I will receive you, And will be a Father unto you, And ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty. (2 Corinthians 6:17-18, KJV)

Yes indeed the WORD of the Lord is our Weapon, and when partnered with prayer it contains an Atomic Spiritual force that can and will obliterate the enemy strongholds.

For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. (Hebrews 4:12)

There are many doctrines passed around on social media, some are of the Lord and others are of the devil. Coming into this year Holy Spirit said:

“Watch My direction as to where to do battle, for the enemy seeks to distract you. And you have spent years chasing distractions, allowing the enemy to continue his take ground where he has no legal right – family, physical, financial, ministry. If fact he has no legal right whatsoever, yet many do not enforce the Victory won at Calvary. Let this be the year of surrendering completely to my guiding and you shall walk in victories you never imaged”

To be honest, during the first part of the year I failed to adhere to this directive and continued to allow the enemy to keep me off course as to victory, keeping me bogged down waging war where I was never commissioned to do so. In June of this year, this began to change as I found myself under constant physical attacks. My blood pressure was all over the place, sleep became a battle, and when I did sleep tormenting dreams ruled the night.

In mid-June, I started receiving a number of visions and Holy Spirit began showing me my error. He showed me strategies from the Father, and He began to point out which Spiritual weapons (scriptures) to use for specific battles.

Coming into October the Physical attacks intensified, and my blood pressure was off the charts. I ended up losing 3 days from work because of it.

Once again I blamed it on the enemy, stating I must be doing something right, and made him mad. Then this Monday I received a download and strategy to begin the war against this “sexual evolution” that the enemy has intensified in light of the victories regarding abortions, trying to steal the destinies of our children.

Yesterday my blood pressure almost went over 200, it read 193/137. I prayed, took some steps to lower it, got prayer from a brother at work, and by the time I went to bed last night it was 131/82. And I woke up this morning thinking I must have really made him mad.

“No weapon that is formed against you will succeed, And every tongue that rises against you in judgment you will condemn. This [peace, righteousness, security, and triumph over opposition] is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, And this is their vindication from Me,” says the Lord. (Isaiah 54:17, AMP)

And immediately Holy Spirit injected “When are you going to stop believing that religious lie”. What lie? The one that claims the “bigger the battle the bigger the demon” Now that woke me up, and He started speaking scripture to me reminding me of my inheritance to victory, that Jesus in His victory totally stripped the devil of any power or authority. That I battle not alone and not just with Angels by my side, but the Lord God Himself is my protection.

Thank you, Lord, for revealing another hidden place where the spirit of religion was hanging out in my life. That you for the Spiritual weapon Your Word welds in dismantling the lies of the enemy.

Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come. (John 16:13)

It is why it is so very important to be in a deep intimate relationship with Holy Spirit, for He alone reveals the door to the truth which we are to go through. We can enjoy good teaching, and we can even have our favorite pastors yet in all things we must surrender them to Holy Spirit to allow Him to show whether they be truth or lies.

But have nothing to do with foolish and ignorant speculations [useless disputes over unedifying, stupid controversies], since you know that they produce strife and give birth to quarrels. (2 Timothy 2:23, AMP)

With that in mind, He also showed me that we must not get bogged down in social media platforms defending our doctrines or trying to tear down others. Sow the truth and allow Him to water it. If someone is posting false doctrines, use the most powerful weapon we have as Saints, which isn’t our mouth or ability to convince some, it is PRAYER. Pray that their eyes be opened. But don’t tie yourself to and become entrenched in vain arguments.

But avoid foolish and ill-informed and stupid controversies and genealogies and dissensions and quarrels about the Law, for they are unprofitable and useless. (Titus 3:9, AMP)

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!!!

As Holy Ghost is calling the Remnant to return to the roots of authentic Christianity. We need to enter the discussion of what our lives are to look like as true disciples of Jesus.

We need to be authentic as to our confession of faith so that the world will know and witness when a member of the Remnant has declared that they are surrendered and totally committed to the Lordship of Jesus Christ, they can expect to see a manifested radical change in the character and the way upon which they live daily. This means in public and private.

In short, the fruit of our confession and conversion must be apparent. We cannot as the Master stated, produce both good & bad fruit (John 7:18).

In this hour we must embrace the fact that Holy Spirit is ever so gently, with surgical precision going deeper into our hearts in order to remove any and all roots associated with compromise, fear, and faithlessness from our souls.

We must not only welcome this we must ask Him to go as deep as necessary, for I know I personally do not want anything in or of me that is not of or pleasing to the Father (Psalm 139:23-24).

It is in this submission of obedience that you and I will find ourselves in the Boot camp of becoming a Remnant Warrior. In fact, I see a witness in scripture that this is a mandatory requirement for every member of the Remnant. (Sampson, Samuel, David, Gideon, Paul, and the other disciples just to name a few).

God is doing something in this hour. Yet, the carnal-minded believer cannot see it which is why they are mostly driven by fear.

Whereas those who have been born from above and have been endued with power from on High, haven their Spiritual eyes open can efficiently discern the times.

It is not that one single individual has the whole picture, no that is reserved for the Lord Himself who can see the whole picture seeing the past, present, and future with clarity.  I believe that this is why we are witnessing Holy Ghost’s connecting His Remnant and re-establishing the foundation of the Apostles and Prophets in the local Ekklesia, bringing the foundation of His Bride back into place.

With this re-establishing, we are witnessing the Remnant being united and maturing under Holy Ghost-anointed Apostolic teachings. In this, we see the family aspect of the Ekklesia being strengthened and within the legislative aspect of the Ekklesia, we see the Remnant warriors gathering and moving like the wind, carrying their assignments from King Jesus.

I believe this ties in with the message that Apostle Damon Thompson released several years ago pertaining to the “re-wilding” of the bride and leading us to have a long-path (generational) vision.

For the past several decades the compromised religious leadership in this nation disregarded the warning from the Lord which was given through His faithful prophets and chose to listen to the flesh-appealing false prophets as they desire popularity and church growth over obedience and holiness. They have become too comfortable walking arm in arm with the celebrities of the world through which the enemy has planted a seed of greed in them that’s driven them to become celebrities themselves.

 For some, it has driven them from their first love. Not that all such leaders ever had a love for Jesus, as we must be honest in pointing out that some stepped into ministry not to serve but to be positioned to be served, having witnessed the glimmer of wealth and celebrity stardom played out via T.V. religious shows and the expanding power of social media.

I believe we are witnessing the same turn of events that happened in the early Church when they ignored the Lord’s commission to go to the ends of the known world with His message as they became “comfortable” in their familiar surroundings, namely Jerusalem.

Isaiah 60:1-2 is the awakening sound to rally the Lord’s Remnant in this generation:

 Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the LORD is risen upon thee. For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the peoples: but the LORD shall arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee. (Isaiah 60:1-2, JUB)

In reading Matthew 13:24-30, the Watchman sees a similarity to what is going on today. Suppose that the Lord has used the rise of anti-god legislation, the passing of laws that have been eroding the religious rights of mainly Christians and our Jewish brothers along with the increase of evil such as drugs, pornography, violence, dismantling or the meaning of marriage, and perversion of our sexuality like we have never seen before, to grow our roots strong. Doing such that we become mature (Wheat) through adversity?

The sleeping Church while busy getting drunk on popularity has allowed un-godly individuals to take powerful seats in our governments from the local all the way to Washington. They have allowed un-godly individuals to weld the seat of power via education from head start all the way into our highest and best Universities. As such, they have held the position to impregnate our children with doctrines of demons, ugly perverse versions of the world’s view.

Is America doomed?

Not at all. Those the Church at large has been sleeping, the Lord has held the winning hand all along. If you look through history you will see how the Father has used His Remnant time and time again to get humanity back on track. This nation has witnessed 2 great awakenings and we are on the precipice of seeing the 3rd great awakening explode on the world scene. I believe if we would look back to 2014, we would see that the Awakening began, yet it is now ramping up.

In ancient times, Watchmen would be stationed to stand guard over the Harvest fields, to watch for anything that would come in to attempt to destroy the Harvest as well as to sound the alarm notifying the laborers as to when the Harvest was ready.

Never have we witnessed the Lord release His Angelic armies in such mass numbers, to stand beside and assist His children. Indeed, it is for a time such as this. If you haven’t read Apostle Tim Sheets series on Angle Armies, I highly encourage you to do so.

For those who haven’t been Baptized in Holy Ghost, these times are depressing and will grow to be terrorizing, yet for the true Ekklesia and His Remnant, these are the days in which we rejoice, being renewed with His joy and empowered with His Spirit to pull back the curtains and witness His Heaven invade earth.

Having been seated under their teachings, and studied their books all led too by Holy Spirit, I have been blessed to get a clear scriptural picture through several of God-ordained leaders that we are about to witness a “Fresh Fire” anointing that the world has witnessed since those in the upper room witness the power of Holy Ghost as they were renewed via being rebirthed in the Fire of His Glory. But most importantly, Holy Ghost Himself has illuminated the Word, granting me the opportunity to sit with Him and dive into the multiple layers of revelation hidden from the carnal mind.

All the Glory belongs to our King Jesus!!!

 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.”

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,

“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.

 Anyone who comes to me must be willing to share my cross and experience it as his own, or he cannot be considered to be my disciple. So don’t follow me without considering what it will cost you. For who would construct a house before first sitting down to estimate the cost to complete it. (Luke 14:27-28, TPT)

I was getting a drug test today and ended up waiting for a little over 1 1/2 hrs. During that time I took a stroll through the past 2 years. In March of 2020, I started volunteering at a rescue mission in Jacksonville beach. At the same time, I was looking for employment as my time working for my previous employer had come to an end.

Every time a door would open, Holy Spirit would tell me this is where the Father has assigned you and I  volunteered for a little over 40 hours. I had some support coming in through our ministry and had a contract with a company that was paying me $1200 for consulting and training their technicians which generally took 4 to 5 hours per month.

In August of 2020, my son and I vacationed in Maine, spoke at a few Churches while there, and then went to Cane Ridge in Kentucky where the spark was lit for the second great awakening.

The presence of the Lord was so powerful there. As we were leaving I heard Holy Spirit say “The Father wants you to go back and start discipling others as did His Son”. I answered with I will.

30 minutes into the drive I asked Him “What does that look like” He had a long answer but the short end of it was “Pour into others everything the Father has poured into you via daily interaction”.

Now some contend this never happened, howbeit for 18 months they referred to me as such. The founder of the mission asked me if I would take charge of the mission, to which after seeking the Father I agreed. From August 2020 until February of this year I was considered to be the director of the mission. Even those who today say I was never asked to be that referred me to others as the director.

During that whole time, I spent anywhere from 40 to 60 hrs a week there, including times when I had to go in on my days off or in the evening to deal with situations.

And during this whole time period, I never collected a salary, however, my wife and I via our ministry put a little over $25,000 into the mission via food, clothes, training supplies, and personal items for the disciples there. We had a website built and covered the cost. We had a promotional video made and covered the cost.

The money didn’t matter because we knew I was positioned to impact lives. Towards the end of 2021, I came under severe attacks from two members of the staff there, launching one lie after the other. To me this was life-changing as I feel that through all of that the Lord was able to do some inner surgery, removing areas of pride and religion that had remained hidden in my life.

Now towards the end of January, these attacks got even worse, the enemy had aligned me with an individual who played both sides and spewed out a long list of lies to both sides. So I went to one of my mentors and several other seasoned ministers.

These were men who had prophesied as to what the Lord wanted to do there, and they all came back with “The Father is releasing you from your commitment there”.One said to listen to the Spirit and trust the Father in vindicating my name and in doing so walk away with a heart of forgiveness”. Valuable advice which I have gleaned from.

The first few weeks I decompressed from a lengthy battle. I spent much time in prayer and fasting as well as keeping busy working through my “Honey-due-list” which my wife had built since buying our home back in 2020.

I had to reevaluate my situation as I had planned on being there for at least 5 years. Along with that, the cost of living has skyrocketed and my income hasn’t increased to match it.

In fact, due to the cost of gas and other goods going up I find myself short of about $1200 per month. So I’ve been seeking a part-time job that will leave room for ministry.

I’ve got over 35 years of customer service skills, cooking, management, pest control, driving, WDO inspections, and a few other small trades. 43 yrs total in working and as my Dad used to say “Jack of all trades, Master of none” Searching for work hasn’t been easy for when I put down my experience they come back with my being overqualified, or they are looking for someone who wants to make a career with them.

I sought counsel and those who know me said “I think you’re supposed to preach the gospel” or “You’re to dedicate your life to helping others”. When I ask Holy Spirit, He responds as He has for several years “Trust the Father”.

Three areas that I am highly trained in don’t offer part-time positions and most would shut me out of ministering because I will not sacrifice my marriage for anything.

Am I discouraged?

Not really.
And I will tell you why in a Paul Harvey fashion of “Now for the rest of the story”

As I look back at the hardship of the past 2 years, I have to smile and tell the devil “You lose”.

Although I don’t know what harvest the many seeds I sowed in a number of lives in the past 2 years of those who came through the mission I do know about 3 specifically.

The 3 individuals that I am speaking about the Lord has graciously allowed me to love on, counsel, and speak life into each of theirs, I’ve been blessed with the opportunity to encourage and introduce them to the real Jesus. Two were addicts, one being so bad they were sent to the hospital several times for overdosing on pain meds. Yet, Praise God, they both are completely free today.

The 3rd one was just tired of life but now he looks forward to every day as an opportunity to speak life into others’ lives.

These lives are priceless and their happiness is totally worth the cost of a little suffering I’ve endured, especially considering the cost of our Lord to save all of us.

I don’t know what the future hold but one thing I do know is that I am going to continue to take every opportunity to sow into other people’s lives no matter how much it cost me.
