Out of the ashes of war.

God, the searcher of the heart, knows fully our longings,  yet he also understands the desires of the Spirit, because the Holy Spirit passionately pleads before God for us, his holy ones, in perfect harmony with God’s plan and our destiny. So we are convinced that every detail of our lives is continually woven together for good,  for we are his lovers who have been called to fulfill his designed purpose. (Romans 8:27-28, TPT)

In August of 2020 while visiting Cane Ridge, the Father gave me the mandate to begin to disciple others as did His Son, and when I asked Him what that looked like He said “It is a transactional relationship (pouring everything the Father has poured into us), which ignites a transformational flame, sparking an inward re-formation which births a Holy conviction to become the image bearer of Jesus that the Father has always desired”.

Shortly after returning to Jacksonville, I stepped into the position of leading the discipleship ministry at Beaches Rescue & Recovery Mission located in Jacksonville Beach. I started implementing what the Father had called me to do.

The presence of the Lord at the mission began to intensify especially after a brother in Christ and I adhered to the will of the Father and started a Saturday Night “Family Gathering”. As these nights started ushering in the realms of Heaven, the attacks of the enemy, showing how displeased he was became ugly. Yes, indeed it was very obvious that Satan wasn’t happy with what was going on.

The attacks of the enemy were manageable up until the fall of 2021 (I had been dealing with the enemy’s displeasure fr several years in ministry).

In November of 2021, my wife, son, and I took a vacation to Maine to spend Thanksgiving with family. This trip included a planned visit to a Revival well in Ocean Park Maine. Back in the early 1880’s revival broke out in this little oceanfront town.

In fact, the fire of God fell with power and to such a degree it ended up catching the attention of one Rev. A.B. Simpson, bringing him down from Canada. A few things which were birthed out of that revival:

  1. Missionary Alliance was formed under the leadership of Rev. A.B. Simpson
  2. A ministry school was formed called “The School of Holy Ghost” (Now one thing to be noted about this revival and especially the school which was active in teaching and witnessing the baptism of fire and gifts of the Spirit, attracted a visitor from Spokane Washington named Charles Parham.)

While we were visiting the property, the Lord began giving me a word in regard to re-instituting Biblical teachings which are purposed to return us back to the foundational teaching of our faith. Such teachings as were taught by Jesus, the Apostles as well as the early Church fathers such as Clement of Rome, Ignatius of Antioch., Polycarp of Smyrna., Papias of Hierapolis as well as Titus Flavius Josephus.

Immediately upon my return, the enemy showed his face in way of my being personally attacked by two of the leaders at the mission. A number of demonic attacks such as slanderous remarks, twisting of my words. uncalled for false accusations of wrongdoing, and for several weeks the list began piling up. These two went so far as attempting to turn the disciples against me.

To be honest, it caught me somewhat off guard. I say somewhat, because during our vaction several of the disciples would call me and sharing some of the nonesense that these two individuals were doing.

However, the Lord gets the Glory, for through this whole ordeal, He used it to show me hidden places of pride in my own life. These battles we taking a toll on me phyically and spiritualy. I waded through attack after attack. Now, coming through these attacks, I felt Holy Spirit directing me to understand that as I crossed into 2022 I needed to be determined not allow the enemy todragged into needless petty battles. That I didn’nt need to defend myself, rather step back and watch what the Father would do.

As I was settling in to obey Holy Spirit as to watching what the Father would do, a very dear friend who operates in the prophetic called me to say “Brother, I don’t know what is going on in your life right now, but I want you to know the Father told me to tell you, He is assigning more warring Angels to surround you -re-inforcement have been dispatched”.

Now, as to not engaging in un-necessary battles wasn’t exactly on the enemy’s schedule. In fact it was quite clear it wasn’t as he persisted in launching a barrage of none stop personal attacks and he even took it to multiple fronts as he began attacking my family.

By this time I decided it was time to go on a fast and seek the Lord for direction. During that time of seeking Him, He said that due to certain aspects (situations and conversations of which I am not free to share publically) I was released from my assignment and my commitment to the mission. The main purpose being that rather than allowing the enemy to discredit the name of His Son before the disciples, I was free to step out of leadership. Yet He did give me a green light to continue teaching a few nights a week.

That lasted for a little short of a month at which point I was approached by the person who is now in authority over the discipleship ministry. He accused me of false teaching and told me he didn’t agree with my teaching (each teaching was recorded and I asked several seasoned pastors to listen to them and they all said I taught the Gospel and truth). One of them who I highly respect having over 50 years of ministry experience reminded me that it was important to remember that the religious spirited individual (those under the influence of the spirit of religion) do not only not accept the truth, they are in darkness regarding it.

Now one thing worth mentioning is that this particular individual has no biblical foundation as to training for ministry especially with regard to such a ministry where discernment and counseling are necessary. He actually claims the title pastor yet he admittingly does not study the Word. After this confrontation, I sought the Lord again to which He clearly said without hesitation “It’s time to shake the dust off your sandals son”.

A secondary note to be mentioned is that during my two years serving in this ministry, I had received several powerful prophetic words about that ministry from seasoned prophets. Taking ministry and especially when dealing with individual lives serious, I wanted a witness as to my decisions of resigning mostly as a precaution to make sure that I heard the Lord clearly. I didn’t wanmt it to be a trick of the enemy causing me to leave prematurely. So I reached out to those who had giving me the prophetic words.

Each of them assured me that I was obeying the Lord and that what I believed I had heard was indeed from the Father. Interestingly, the one who prophesied about a youth revival said that we must understand when dealing with the prophetic, that a Word from the Lord isn’t necessarily a guarantee as to it happening. For a number of situations could be surrounding the word coming to pass. For example, even as the Lord desired to heal everyone in His home town it didn’t happen because many were living in disobedience failing to recognize Him as the Lord.

One thing I want to make clear here, I wouldn’t trade anything that has transpired over the past two years (several years to be honest). For through it all, even while battling Covid, the Father, Son and Spirit showed their faithfulness. In the toughest battles, Holy Spirit taught me some of the greatest Spiritual strategies. I treasure the times where the alter of discipline was provided for death to self and every place that the enemy mistakenly opened the door for the Father to show me the areas in my own life that didn’t resemble the “me” He created me to be, were all worth the attacks of the enemy.

I believe, seeing where the Father has me assigned now, these two plus years were but a birthing ground of preparation for the destiny assignment for not only myself but for my wife and son as well. My wife and I are now blessed to be the doorkeepers with a Heaven-designed opportunity to show a group of people what a Kingdom family truly looks like (Ekklesia) and how a true Kingdom family lives to love even as Christ loves us.

In this hour, it is extremely important to be in tune with the Spirit, to find your tribe, and to let your life be guided by the will of the Father at all times. Ask for an increase in discernment, and remember the warnings of Jesus and His Apostles that not everyone claiming to be a follower of Jesus is in fact one of His followers. We need to be cautious and using Spiritual wisdom understand that some wolves specialize in cross-dressing as sheep. Test ALL things in the Spirit and remember, we have been blessed to be given weapons for this warfare. Thus we are fully equipped to take on whatever the enemy has to throw at us. As well let us remember it is a war between us and the devil, so as to his human spies (flesh puppets), we are also fully authorized to “Judge the fruit”.

A different kind of discipleship

“He must increase, but I must decrease” (John 3:30).

There are two Universal Spiritual Principles found in John 3:30 that express two very fundamental truths.

First, that Christ must increase.

This is a principle that most Christians can agree with.

Are there any Christians who do not desire more of the Lord?

Are there any believers who do not long for a greater expression and revelation of Christ – in their personal walk, as well as in the world around them?

It is easy to align ourselves with this principle and pray in agreement with God’s Will – that Christ would be increased, and that the knowledge of Him would continue to grow and expand.

What is more difficult to affirm is the decrease of Self.

Yet this principle is as powerful and as sure as the first.

With more of Christ, there is less of me.

With more of me, there is less of Him.

And so, in order to cooperate with the first principle, we must overcome the “but” that stands between the two. “He must increase, but…”

Something hinders.

What gets it the way?

What prevents the increase of Christ?

It is me – or more accurately, the “I”, or the “Self” keeps getting in the way. And so, “I must decrease.”

The Disciple’s Journey

The Self-Life resists the Christ-Life.

The Holy Spirit seeks to increase Christ, while the human spirit seeks to increase Self.

We can have either one, but we cannot have both.

As Christ is increased, Self is decreased.

As Self is increased, Christ is decreased.

We begin our journey through life in a self-centered existence instead of a Christ-centered existence.

This is why we must be “born again.”

To be born again is to interrupt the self-centered pattern of our lives and open us up to the possibility of taking a different route and living a different life – a life that is Christ-centered instead of Self-centered.

Until this happens, it is impossible to love God and love our neighbor.

These two great commands are impossible to those who maintain a healthy connection to their Self-Life.

Loving others is impossible for ones who mostly love themselves.

This is the way of the world.

The way of a disciple of Jesus is a different way.

It is a way that cuts at the heart of self-love by making it possible for us to rise above Self-centeredness through Christ-centeredness.

Jesus describes it as a difficult, narrow way that few find.

Why is it so difficult? Because it strikes to the very core of who and what we are.

Even our very desire to follow Jesus can be self-centered.

Of course, we want to serve God; but we also hope to get a little something for ourselves.

Many people are drawn to the Lord with mixed motivations.

For example, the promise of a home in heaven is very appealing, as is avoiding the fires of hell.

But the Self-life is revealed in these subtle expressions that often appear spiritual and religious.

To follow Jesus for nothing other than the love of Jesus is the way of the disciple.

It is true that many follow Him imperfectly, and do so for many different reasons that they cannot fully explain or understand.

Fortunately for us, Jesus does not demand sinless perfection from the ones who follow Him.

His disciples make many mistakes and they often stumble and fall. Nor does Jesus require that we be spiritually mature and perfectly free from our Self-Life before He accepts us as disciples.

Dealing with the Self-Life is part of His discipleship program.

The very act of following Him begins a process that, if followed all the way to the end, results in what I call being reduced to Christ.

What does this mean? It means that when I began to follow the Lord, I may have had all kinds of motivations for doing so, and many of those motivations were self-serving and self-centered.

My very existence was rooted and strengthened by my Self-Life. But as I follow Him, and as He increases, more and more I find my self-centered ways being stripped away.

I find the power of Christ increasing within me, and I also find the power of Self is decreasing. With this process working simultaneously to increase Christ and decrease me, I find my motives are becoming more and more singular.

I am no longer following Jesus for what I hope to get out of it. Even my “mansion in heaven” does not seem so important anymore.

My many needs I find are not as urgent as they once were.

My many questions are not as essential as I once thought they were.

I have fewer questions, and so I require fewer answers.

Where I used to be troubled and vexed and concerned and stressed over “many things” it is becoming easier to focus on the “one thing” that is needed.

Christ is increasing, and everything else is decreasing.

My life, my purpose, my focus, my very existence is being condensed from many paths in pursuit of many things so that I am becoming more and more narrowly focused upon one thing.

Paul expresses it perfectly: “It is no longer I who live, but Christ Who lives in me” (Gal. 2:20).

Power of the LOVE of God

And we have known and believed the love that God has for us. God is love, and he who abides in love abides in God, and God in him. (1 John 4:16, NKJV)

This verse became a reality to me on March 29, 2016 at 1:43 am. It was at that very time that I had a personal encounter with the Lord, for what seemed like several hours even though it was but 2 minutes in our time frame.

He took me back to the youngest age I could remember (around 3 years old) and from that point back to the NOW, He showed me how great His love was.

Through all the pain of a young child being ripped from the safety of family due to divorce, through all the years of drug addictions, ungodly sexual relations and other law-less behaviors.

Through all the guilt, shame and condemnation He showed me His passionate LOVE burning for me and how my actions never once caused His LOVE to loose it’s zeal. Even through all the years of being confined and lead by and even to the degree of operating under the influence of the spirit of religion.

Which was with a totally corrupt understanding and belief as to who the Father was, how He dealt with individuals. Yet He still LOVED me to the same degree of LOVE as when He first thought of me, before I even was a reality in the eternal time line.Since that time.

His LOVE has continued to reconstruct who I am, it still searches out anything within my soul that is not that which the Father desires of me and with spiritual surgical precision removes it.

Today I can attest to the factual truth, that if you are dealing with addictions, shame, guilt and or condemnation, you have never truly encountered the LOVE of God.

Yet when you do…your life will be radically transformed into who He has always purposed you to be – a Beloved child of the Father, walking in the fullness of you inheritance!!!!

Lost Art of Family

Posted: September 13, 2021 in disciples life, Kingdom Teaching, teaching, wilderness
Tags: , , ,

In studying the scriptures and getting revelation as to the Garden mandate, one thing is clear.

We were all seeded with an innate desire for fellowship in way of family before the foundation of the world was laid. Yet the truth be told – family is a disappearing aspect of our society in so many ways.

Now, Paul taught much in lue of military terms.

With that we must understand that in war there are valued long term alignments as well as necessary short term alignments. The same can be said of the Kingdom, from the man who supplied the colt for the Lord to make His triumphant entry into Jerusalem.

To the man who was carrying the picture of water, tasked with securing the room for the last supper, these were necessary how be it short term alignments.

Whereas Peter, John, James etc, were long term alignments.

We must understand there will be people who grace our lives with their presence who were purposed to be but temporary alignments.

Where as others we will make almost life long alignments.

But lets be nakedly honest. Some people are also rebellious as to the will of God and run from commitment when the fire starts to heat up.

As in all things, we must become extremely skilled in trusting the Lord while guarding our hearts so that we understand that not everyone who is walking with us today, will be walking with us tomorrow.

Not everyone was purposed to take the long path journey with us.

The reality is that it is our assignment and the long path ministry vision for which we ourselves must keep our eyes on. If we can maintain that understanding, that comes the peace that is beyond human understanding with birth in us an inner knowing that the Lord will be there with us every step of the way.

We can read in scripture as to how Jonathan was a dear close friend whom David loved and trusted with his own life. I think if we were dive deep into David’s life (and I have) we will find after Jonathans death there were very few that David felt comfortable putting his life in their hands. Yet, he grew in his trust of the Lord’s ability to watch over and keep him safe.

We are all created with a sense and longing for community. Some more so than others. I personally am content being deep in the woods, alone save my dog and there I am at total peace being surrounded by the Father’s creation of nature. An occasional interaction with people is enough to keep me going for days, even weeks. Even with out the woods, I am becoming more and more accustomed to my quiet time with Holy Spirit.

I’ve had a life time of people being there one moment only to begone the next.

Now, unlike many who mourn when someone is taking out of their life. Or walks out of their day to day functions of life, I sense a loss but only for a short time, as I quickly refocus on the assignment the Lord has for me.

Some may call it shell shocked or battle hardened.

Eitherway, for me, the Lord fills the void that others struggle with filling. (It use to be with addictions – Now its Jesus).

In studying the life of George Muller, I find comfort knowing that our lives are so much alike in many ways. He was a rebellious one before coming to the Lord, as was I. He had many alliances but few close friends, as have I. He grew to take the WORD at face value, spending little time in reading other peoples commentary. Instead, he found himself being far more comfortable listening to Holy Spirit’s interpretation.

And as to where his trust would be for financial matters and other needs? He trusted in the Lord to the point that he never publically asked (begged) people for help.

That is where my life is at this time, anchored in the TRUST of the Lord as well as Holy Spirit high-lighting the scriptures for me (I’ve found that fasting is a amazing study hall).

At the end of his life, we was left alone, save the comfort of the comforter.

To be honest, there are times I find myself there as well. My wife is still here and I find much comfort with and from her. Yet, her full-time work schedule and my ministry schedule at times can drain us as to personal interaction.

My son still lives at home, he is 17 and is in his senior year (need I say more).

All this to say, keep your faith in the Lord, love people but trust the Lord. Now you may be completely unlike me needing more interaction with other people. Just be careful and be on guard that they do not rob you of private time with the Father.

Some people can be so busy, even in “doing” ministry that they neglect to spend time with the most important one in their life, Abba.

However, if you are like me, be on guard that your love of solitude not rob others of the love, compassion and wisdom that the Father has poured into you to bless others.

The whole idea of the garden was that of family and its the one place that the enemy has never let up his attack, family. In many ways the art of being family has been lost. Gone with it, I fear so has the spirit of loyalty and commitment.

With so few true spiritual fathers and mothers, those who love as does our heavenly father. Those who are willing to share both a hug and hand of correction. Sadly the God inspired family system has all but become extinct.

Again, there is a place seeded in each one of before the foundations of this world which long for fellowship in way of family.

I recently ended a two year position as director of a discipleship mission. I labored for 18 months to usher in the sense and atmosphere of “family”. We had finally attained it and then the enemy enter a narcissist into the leadership ranks. His demand for control had a road block in front of it. Namely myself and because of that I endured several months of slander and charactor assacination. Add to that a leader who refuses to contront (Not really a leader) and the battle became entrenching.

I sought Godly counsel from seasoned vets who after much prayer said due to the inability of the head and founder of the ministry to discern and confront, the Father had released me from my commitment.

I can’t say it ended in failure on any level, as shortly after my resigning the position the door opened for my current position as senior pastor of a Church that my wife, son and I have been in relationship with since 2013. I was a monthly guest speaker for the past two years and have patiently laid the foundation of “Kingdom family”

We must remeber that not ever ministry that carries the name “Christian” is ordained of the Father. There are a multitude of Ismael ministries and Churches scattered across the Christioan horizon in America as well as abroad.

However, since the creation of the Garden and man it has always been the intention of the Father for a family. As senior pastor the vision the Lord has given me is the Garden mandate, to return to our original design and purpose, to be a family who thrive in the atmosphere of love for one and other and most importantly, love for the Fatrher, Son and Spirit.

Holy Spirit Vision

But when the Father sends the Spirit of Holiness, the One like me who sets you free, he will teach you all things in my name. And he will inspire you to remember every word that I’ve told you. (John 14:26, The Passion Translation)

You cannot believe right unless you are hearing right.

Holy Spirit is the one who will give testimony as to whether what we are hearing or reading is truth.

There are many false teachers and teachings out there and whether or not you believe that the pastor/teacher you are listening to is speaking only the Gospel truth.

You must ask and confirm with Holy Spirit so that you are confident that you are not being deceived.

Even when I am teaching I tell those listening “Don’t take my word for it, ask Holy Spirit if it be true”

Paul wrote these words of wisdom to the Thessalonians:

“Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you. Do not quench the Spirit. Do not despise prophecies. Test all things; hold fast what is good. Abstain from every form of evil” (1 Thessalonians 5:16-24, New King James Version)

Yes, the Father has blessed us with Apostles, Prophets, Evangelist and Shepherd teachers.

Yet, let us remember that the enemy operates under the system of counterfeiting, so we must seek Holy Spirit, who can not be deceived, as to whether what we are being taught is truth or not.

The good news is that under the guidance of Holy Spirit we will mature into the place via His training to where we will begin to listen to only what the Father is saying in the Spirit, as did our Lord. For then what is not of the Father will be clearly seen as false.

Now is the hour that the Remnant must rise up, the world is a ripe harvest field, let us gather the generation we have been blessed to be part of in History.

The Strongman Called Offense

Hereafter I will not talk much with you, for the prince of this world comes and has nothing in me. (John 4:30, TPT)

Jesus didn’t have any spiritual strong men of the enemy taking up residence in His soul. Lets take a quick look at the spirit of offense…Now, if we were to put the spirit of offense in the catagory of spiritual “strongmen” we can then see how he brings other strongmen with him such as anger, false judgement and unforgiveness. Then they all take captive the individuals soulish realm to where they are prisoners, having their emotions placed in spiritual chains.

This can either be a short term hostage senario if the individual comes to see what has taking place and repents (takes on the manner of thinking in which Jesus lived His life here, thinking only the thoughts as to what the Father thinks) and through the door of forgiveness they are able to escape this spiritual prison.

If repentance doesn’t happen, then the individual can well be imprisoned soulishly through their emotions for years. To the point that their growth and destiny is at a stand still until the Light of Truth exposes their unforgiving heart. Then once true repentance has taking place and Holy Spirit is given permission by that individual to evict them, then they are set free once again.

Once this happens we must be on guard and leave this area ( and all areas) of our soul surrendered to the Lordship of Jesus so that the strongman doesn’t return with even more in his attacking party.

But the natural man does not perceive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness unto him; neither can he understand them because they are spiritually discerned. ( 1 Cor 2:14)

Sad that so many Church’s and Christian schools do not recognize the Accreditation of Holy Spirit. I have several degrees including a doctorate of Theology from ministry schools but because they (those schools) choose to invest in the students lives instead of the worldly system they are not recognized as valid.

Yet truth be told, even having attended ministry schools for 12 years, studied hard and graduated from those schools, my times and seasons in the “School of Knee-ology” as taught by Holy Spirit has taught me the deepest things of the Kingdom.

Do that not realize that the standards they have set in place, means they would not recognize & disqualify such men as Evan Roberts, A.W. Tozer or Smith Wigglesworth as valid teachers or preachers. Nor would they based upon their manmade standards, see Jesus, Paul, Peter, John, James and others in The Bible as being considered qualified to teach or preach.

As they ministered to the Lord and fasted, the Holy Spirit said, Separate me Barnabas and Saul for the work unto which I have called them (Acts 13:2)

What happened to being led of Holy Spirit as was the first century Church?

I asked the Father about it, and He said it doesn’t matter what they see or believe, for He alone is the One who calls, trains, establishes and ordains those for whom He has called and everyone of His children are qualified by His Son for the works of the Kingdom. So it is clear that God the Father is the One who qualifies, not a board of men based upon a scale derived from human (carnal) intellect.

And no, I am not seeking a position, I am at complete rest as to where the Father has my wife and I at this time. 😉

Watch for the road signs!!!

Posted: May 21, 2019 in disciples life, Kingdom Teaching, teaching, wilderness

A highway shall be there, and a road,
And it shall be called the Highway of Holiness.
The unclean shall not pass over it, But it shall be for others. Whoever walks the road, although a fool, Shall not go astray. (Isaiah 35:8)
Is this the narrow road, Jesus spoke of?
e041f985-af49-46fc-be48-bbfbe2d78220
I believe so. And be on the watch, for this road does have warning signs, such as we find in 2 Cor chapter 6:
For this reason,
“Come out from among them and be separate,” says the Lord.
“Touch nothing that is unclean, and I will embrace you. (2 Cor 6:17. TPT)
What was the reason?
Don’t continue to team up with unbelievers in mismatched alliances, for what partnership is there between righteousness and rebellion?
Who could mingle light with darkness?
What harmony can there be between Christ and Satan?
Or what does a believer have in common with an unbeliever?
What friendship does God’s temple have with demons?
For indeed, we are the temple of the living God, just as God has said:
I will make my home in them and walk among them. I will be their God, and they will be my people. (2 Cor 6:14-16, TPT)
This means to walk in purity, do not associate with those who teach contrary to that which the Word teaches. Jesus and Paul both warn us of of false teachers and flase doctrines that run contrary to that which is truth.
The dangerous delusion of these perverse doctrines is seen in how they appear to be holy & righteous, yet they contain just enough of a twist that is so subtle,  many will be they who are fooled and led astray.
Again, Jesus gave us this warning:
For there will be imposters falsely claiming to be God’s ‘Anointed One,’ and false prophets will arise to perform miracle signs to lead astray, if possible, those God has chosen to be his. (Matt 24:24, TPT)
There are times it may be very difficult in having discerned such false teachings and warning others, yet they chose not to listen.
Because of our love for them, do we throw caution to the wind and stay under such teachings or ministries?
NO.
We can clearly see here in 2 Cor chapter 6, how Paul is laying the foundation as to a Kingdom standard that we must not dismiss! The Word is clear:  “Come-out from amongst them”. In in other words let your separation be so evident, that there will be absolutely no room to suggest your still connected to such.
DO NOT let your ternary of effection cause you to stay…for you and your whole family will be subject to paying a great price in all areas of your life.
Now, look at how the reward of being obediant to this warning blesses us:
FOR THIS REASON…….
“Come out from among them and be separate,” says the Lord. “Touch nothing that is unclean,
AND I will embrace you. I will be a true Father to you, and you will be my beloved sons and daughters,” says the Lord Yahweh Almighty. (2 Cor 6:17-18, TPT)
Boom, YAY GOD!!!
Holy Spirit, I ask that You keep me on Yahweh’s Highway of Holiness regardless of the cost.

THE FOUNTAIN OF IMMORTAL LIFE NOW

natural-forest

I long to be more fully connected into the flow of the glory of life eternal and abundant. Father God, Lord Jesus, Holy Spirit of life, consume me now that nothing of me remains and only You fully and securely abide.

Human reason was good enough for a religious season, but now has spent its strength. Immortality must now replace mortality. Mortal life wanes away making place for God’s immortal life to stay: no longer a passing visitor, but now a wellspring of Your life forevermore. (John 7:38).

Hallelujah! The time has come for the sons of glory to come forth. Now is the day for Spirit-natural to replace supernatural.

Now, while yet on earth, living in immortality from the fountain of life flowing living water of eternal life within us and out to a world that has been captured by spirits of death. Setting captives free to walk out of death’s prisons to live life abundantly now and forever.

Truly mortality has put on immortality.

Death must always precede resurrection life. The death experience of our past life is the end of our reasoning season. We are crucified with Christ that we may be recipients of His resurrected life now in these mortal bodies that are the temple of His immortality. (1 Corinthians 6:19).

Even as our natural flesh wanes away, eternal life abides as one with Spirit Christ within us. “I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me.” Galatians 2:20.

The mystery of the ages now revealed is the immortal glorified Christ in you, the hope of glory. The glory of God fills the earth through the resurrected Christ abiding in multitudes of Sons of God, joint heirs with Christ Jesus, ruling and reigning on Planet Earth.

THE BIG QUESTION

The big question is not, “Is there life after death?”. The great question for you and me today is this: Is there life now, real life, eternal life, abundant life? Yes! The true life of Christ, the resurrected life of Jesus alive within our mortal bodies by the Holy Spirit is the immortal, eternal, and abundant life now and forever.

Our time to bring the glory of God on earth is NOW. Only our short time on earth is our given opportunity to bring the ways and glory of heaven to earth. Our time on earth is NOT just preparation for life in heaven someday. This life now is the one that counts in the job assignment that we all have in Christ to bring forth our part of the kingdom of God on earth as it is in heaven.

God so loved the world that He sent His only begotten Son to redeem the world. The work of His Son, Christ Jesus, continues today by the Holy Spirit forming Christ in us becoming many sons in the ONE SON, Christ Jesus, as the body of Christ on earth.

MANY TODAY CRUCIFIED WITH CHRIST AND ALIVE IN HIM

Probably all religions contain some truth at some level. However, they are all cunningly devised with divergences of man’s reasoning influenced by demon spirits. Satan and powers of darkness cannot continue their false rule on earth when the whole truth of Christ now on earth arising in His people is realized. The realization of Christ in us is the manifestation of Christ to His rightful place of King of His kingdom on earth. (1: Timothy 4:1) (Matthew 15:9) (Ephesians 4:14) (Revelation 1:6, 5:10).

The enemies of God are powerless against the Son of God in His Body on earth. The devil and all works of darkness were and are defeated at the cross. The victory of the cross is brought forth on earth by the resurrected life of Christ Jesus now abiding in His people alive on earth by the Holy Spirit.

THE GREATEST OUTPOURING OF GOD ON EARTH

The greatest revival ever is the imminent massive surge of awakening to the reality of Christ in His people by the Holy Spirit, establishing the fullness of the kingdom of God in and through His people.

It is the voice of God in Christ in His people that will end the false reign of Satan and the powers of darkness on earth. The powerful WORD of God spoken forth through the demonstration of the LOVE works of Christ in His Body on earth recreates the earth to the Garden of Eden type design of God.

This is not a someday by and by reality. This is now available within the hearts and lives of all who will fully seek first, above all else, the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and love not their lives to the death. Thereby making room for the resurrected life of Christ to fully abide where we once lived. To save our lives now is to lose the life of Christ and His kingdom reality now in this life on earth. To lose our lives now for His sake and His gospel of the kingdom is to find His resurrected life now and forever. (Matthew 6:33) (Revelation 12:11) (Matthew 10:39) (Galatians 2:20).

 But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. Matthew 6:33.

The mystery which has been hidden from ages and from generations, but now has been revealed to His saints. 27 To them God willed to make known what are the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles: which is Christ in you, the hope of glory. Colossians 1:26-27.

In this manner, therefore, pray:
Our Father in heaven,
Hallowed be Your name.
10 Your kingdom come.
Your will be done
On earth as it is in heaven.
Matthew 6:9-10.

Arise, my beloved, your time has come; all is prepared and made ready. That which was is no more, and that which is to come is within you. Awaken to the light of glory in the power of love and peace everlasting.

Where is the real war for America?

If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land. (2 Chronicles 7:14)

Spiritual-Warefare

The greatest wall that this nation needs has already been paid for.

If we (God’s people) will humble ourselves, repent for seeking after our own desires.

Repent for hiding under the umbrella of selfishness, reject the spirit of religion.

Welcome the fires of holiness, dedicating every part of our lives unto the consecration of the Lord Jesus Christ.

We would see a spiritual dome over this nation in the form of the Presence of the Lord that would be so powerful it would make Israel’s iron dome look like a toy.

Or we can be like ancient Israel, continue believing our protection is by our might, remaining entrenched in the rhetoric of political discussions that the enemy joyfully has engaged us with and watch this nation fail.

For our wrestling match is with persons without bodies, against rulers with various areas and descending orders of authority against the world dominators of this present darkness Spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenlies  (2 Corinthians 10:4, Derek Prince Translation)

Do not be fooled nor deceived into believing this is a mere political battle.

It is a spiritual battle and we must put on the whole armor of the Lord, and hit the prayer rooms, hold all night prayer services.

We as a Body of believers have surrendered so much of our inheritance to the world.

We’ve entrusted our lives into the hands of wicked councils influenced by the spirit of this age.

Over the centuries since the first Church in the book of Act’s we’ve witnessed the Church ever so slowly lose its vision of the healing power of the Lord.

To today where we have for the most part put our faith in science and men of medical means.

We’ve allowed the Gospel message of Christ’s kingdom turn into a watered down self-indulgent message that bears no heavenly good news at all.

We’ve allowed holiness to be replaced with greediness, allowed the standards of Biblical morality to be replaced with the moral less values of this world.

Much of the Church has become a reflection of the society it is in rather than transforming the society to resemble the Kingdom of God.

We have entrusted our children to the government schools where the anti-Christ spirit is having a hay day.

As it slowly replaces truth with the twisted and distorted lies of the enemy calling right that which the Lord calls unholy and abominations.

We’ve allowed our colleges that were once founded upon the Word of God turn into the vilest institutions of demonic influence to a higher degree of wickedness.

We’ve replaced family time, with “me time”.

We’ve turned Sundays into a fast-food mentality organization where Church goers have been taught to simply want to rush in, get the worship of “How great we are” and “pamper my wounded ego” songs over with.

listen to a quick soothing Dr. Phil make me feel good message to at least get us to the parking lot, and then go out to be influenced by the world’s philosophies.

Or rush to the American dreams replacement of the Colosseum games of Rome style sports rather than devoting the day to our own families and the family of God.

And influencing the world by showing them the awesomeness of what it is to be a family dedicated to the Lord.

Wake up Bride!!!!

The Spirit of the Lord is crying out this very hour “Repent and turn back to your first love”.

Renounce your allegiance to the prince of the spiritual realm over this nation.

And turn back into the safety of the loving arms of your Holy Father in Heaven!!!
