Radical Disciples – A Remnant Revolution

Blessed are those who suffer persecution for righteousness’ sake, for theirs is the kingdom of the heavens. Blessed are ye when men shall revile you and persecute you and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely for my sake. Rejoice and be exceeding glad, for great is your reward in the heavens; for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you. (Matthew 5:10-12, Jubilee)

Facing persecution for my own faith at a place I can not at this time name, has drawn me into seeking Holy Spirit wisdom.

One option is: Should I make them pay and stand up for my rights?

Another option to think about is: Should I make a legal stand and challenge them legally so that they cannot do this to anyone else?

Both of these options have been brought up by some fellow believers.

However, when I take it to the Lord, Holy Spirit quietly responds back “Why don’t rejoice in this situation and watch what the Father will do?

Now, in the past, I would have filed a lawsuit without even thinking about it. Yet, these days I have come to the place in my life where if I am truly going to represent Christ to my family, friends, and the world then I need to mature into living like Him.

Now, Jesus said too many times to ignore, that He did nothing apart from His Father. He said numerous times that He only did what His Father did, and only spoke what He heard the Father speaking.

That as well as teaching for a little over a year now the importance of living under the governing authority of Holy Spirit can I just ignore what He says and agree with my well-meaning friends? Or, to exemplify what I have been teaching, submit to and obey what He has told me, “Rejoice in this persecution and watch what the Father will do.

Not judging anyone else but for my own life, I have to come to a place where I can no longer do what the world does. I can no longer walk under the bondage of the spirit of religion which does not seek to protect our rights, it actually seeks to deny our anointing in Christ. To bring us to the place where we may say we are a follower of Jesus, shower nothing in our lives resembles His life.

Many think it is the anti-Christ spirit that is trying to deny Jesus and is also trying to silence the “Church”. Yet the truth is most of the Church is in bed with that demonic spirit and under the slavery of the spirit of religion, they teach doctrines that actually prevent us or put the NOW revelations as though they are meant for the future.

These doctrines deny the ability of the sons & daughters to “heal” others when that is what Jesus taught His disciples (Matthew 10:8, Mark 16:18).

They teach that there are no more Apostles, or Prophets, that such ended with the disciples. They teach that we will always be sinners up until we die and that we can be followers of Jesus but there is no way we can actually live like Him, do the miracles He did, or do “Greater Things” just as Jesus Himself said we would do (John 14:12), until we get to Heaven.

Much of the Church in America has become so compromised to the religious spirit that it sadly resembles the world, its philosophies, and trends more than they do the Lord and His Kingdom. They have succumbed to the systems of this world while having in their possession the very words that Holy Spirit whispered into the ears of Paul, the apostle of grace;

“And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.” (Romans 12:2).

Now, with that being said, I believe that it is time for the sons & daughters of the LORD, especially those who are called to be part of His Remnant army in this generation, to start living the Galatians 5 life.

I know, many of you are thinking “What is the Galatians 5 life?”

The Galatians 5 life is one of living in the Spirit, walking in the Spirit, and being led by Holy Spirit. I believe according to my studies of the scriptures, that this type of living produces the fruit of Holy Spirit. It is where we have matured into living as “WindWalkers” (John 3:8). It is where we begin walking in our identity as His beloved having gained access to our sonship including the power, authority, and freedom that it entails.

For when we submit to live our lives under the governing authority of Holy Spirit we shall begin to weld the POWER over the flesh (sin) and over living under the law (works – toiling) which says “I can’t do those or that” (to please Abba) producing the kind of life where you are driven by fear rather than being led in faith.

You weld the full inherited Authority of sonship over the devil and ALL the demons as well as having the ordained (or Father-authorized) ability to influence people on the Father’s behalf so that He might show and do good for them.

This means walking in the full anointing of sonship where our preaching and teaching are backed with all of Heaven’s authority, producing supernatural works of Holy Spirit and power.

And friends, this lifestyle is that which brings about the dominion authority witnessed in the displays of the Lord’s supreme reign as King of kings over the spiritual realms of darkness, disease, and yes even death. It is where we will begin to see the Gospel of the Kingdom arriving in the supernatural power of Heaven, setting people radically free.

It is where Hell shakes in its own fear as it witnesses the rise of sons & daughters who look like and talk just like Jesus. For they possess the same likeness and authority of not just Jesus, but just like His Father as well. Even as the scriptures declare, we are those, who are being transformed into the image of the Son (2 Corinthians 3:18), who was as the WORD Himself declares, the very image of the Father (John 14:7-11), which a little over 2000 years ago, He displayed to the world!!!

All that to say, I love and respect my friends and cherish their desire to help me. However, I have committed to Holy Spirit’s Lordship and must adhere to His council, thus I rejoice in being found worthy to be persecuted for His righteousness. and I am fully confident that the Father has all things in my life safely in His hands and look forward to the plans He has for my life, my wife’s and son’s life, knowing that in Christ, our future is ever so BRIGHT!!!

Wokeness is lashing out at anything that disagrees with it, the increase in violent activism of the LGBTQ community is increasing as well as the false yet increasing racism charges against those who were simply born a different color. I have been warring against these very issues with grace and mercy, while justly making a stand of not simply bowing to their ideologies and refusing to engage in their culture.

Recently (In early August 2023) I wore a t-shirt that said “I stand for the Flag and bow to the cross” and have had several complaints filed against me of racism and breaking the diversity rules at work. I know right, I am still scratching my head trying to figure out the logic behind that insanity.

On a personal note, this persecution which has resulted in an unpaid suspension from work has greatly impacted our family financially. I believe the Lord will vindicate me, however, as I am currently out of work due to this persecution we still have ministry costs as well as personal bills. So, if Holy Spirit moves upon your heart to help us during this time your heart, you can make a donation here (Ministry Donation). Any amount would be a blessing and highly appreciated.

Blessings in the Mighty Name of our Lord & Savior Jesus Christ,

Today, it would seem that the entire world stands in desperate need of divine intervention during these dark and dangerous days of one disaster after another. Our greatest weapon to combat the darkness is prayer! We must grasp the need to cry out to Almighty God for transforming power.

Beloved, never doubt that the prayers of the saints are awesome in power. Almighty God has given us the authority to bind and the power to set free. Only as we join in prayer, following the pattern released in 2 Chronicles 7:14, can we expect to see divine intervention.

“If My people, who are called by My name, shall humble themselves, pray, seek, crave, and require of necessity My face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from Heaven, forgive their sin, and heal their land.” (2 Chronicles 7:14 AMPC)

First and foremost, we must humble ourselves. Scripture is clear: God resists the proud. We are clearly instructed to submit to God and resist the devil:

“Likewise you younger people, submit yourselves to your elders. Yes, all of you be submissive to one another, and be clothed with humility, for ‘God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble.’ Therefore, humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time.” (1 Peter 5:5-6 NKJV) (Photo via Unsplash)

Through Prayer, God Reveals Mighty Things

Scripture states that we have not because we ask not (see James 4:2-3). So we must ask.

“Call to Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know.” (Jeremiah 33:3 NKJV)

Another translation of this passage reminds us that God has mighty, wonderful things hidden away for us when we are willing to pray them into our present:

“Call to Me and I will answer you and show you great and mighty things, fenced in and hidden, which you do not know (do not distinguish and recognize, have knowledge of and understand).” (Jeremiah 33:3 AMPC)

Yes, it is true, God does hide things from us for us. “It is the glory of God to conceal a thing, but the glory of kings is to search out a thing” (Proverbs 25:2 AMPC). Now is the time to unlock the true treasures of God. These are generational blessings.

“The secret things belong unto the Lord our God, but the things which are revealed belong to us and to our children forever, that we may do all of the words of this law.” (Deuteronomy 29:29 AMPC)

Decide, Decree and Establish

“You shall also decide and decree a thing, and it shall be established for you; and the light [of God’s favor] shall shine upon your ways.” (Job 22:28 AMPC) (Photo via Unsplash)

1. You shall decide (make up your mind).
2. You shall decree (tell God what it is).
3. It shall be established for you.

In summary, Scripture is stating: Make up your mind what you want; tell God what that is and He will get it for you.

Beloved, we can do nothing more powerful than praying!

Focus on the King of Glory and the Prince of Peace

During these days, keep your focus upon Christ the King. He is the Prince of Peace. Only as we keep our eyes and hearts firmly focused upon the King of glory do we have this perfect peace and tranquility (see Isaiah 26:3). Never forget, it is the God of peace that crushes the devil under our feet (see Romans 16:20).

God bless you and your family!

“May the Lord give you increase more and more, you and your children. May you be blessed of the Lord, who made Heaven and Earth!” (Psalm 115:14-15)

May all believers continue to live the wonderful lives God has called them to live, according to what he assigns for each person, for this is what I teach to believers everywhere. 
(1 Cor 7:17, TPT)

One of the things I have learned over the years as a follower of Jesus is to stay in the lane (path) the Lord has prepared for me. One can be pulled in many directions when trying to appease everyone that wants your association and end up tired and stressed out. I believe we are given the grace for the assignment of the Lord and in not seeking His guidance to in essense try to use grace in areas where it was never purposed.

Stop imitating the ideals and opinions of the culture around you, but be inwardly transformed by the Holy Spirit through a total reformation of how you think. This will empower you to discern God’s will as you live a beautiful life, satisfying and perfect in his eyes. 
(Romans 12:2, TPT)

Much of the world has slipped into the Church such as “Social Networking”. Many feel they need to be a part of every thing in town especially what the masses deem “new & exciting”. There are things that are contrived under the wisdom of this world and just labeling them as now “Christian” doesn’t magically make them Christian. Many religious institutions seek wisdom from worldly business models and spend millions if not billions a year hiring marketing firms to help them grow and attract the public. In doing so, they squander the treasure house of God seeking to build what they’ve never been “co-mission-ed” to build [Mark 16:18].

I enjoy the company those followers of Jesus whose nights are spent listening to the soft intimate whisper of the Spirit. In all honesty, many religious events and the crowds they attract bore me as everyone is attempting to paint a public picture of themselves to others rather than spending quality private time in the Presence of the King until they radiate His Glory in public.

"But the wisdom from above is always pure, filled with peace, considerate and teachable. It is filled with love and never displays prejudice or hypocrisy in any form"
  (James 3:17, TPT) 

Over the past several years the Lord has been consistent in reminding me to limit the number of those of influence in and around my life. To many voices can cause to much time be spent discerning who has their ear to Heaven verse those whose ears are captivated to the religious waves of distraction.

At this point in my life, my mornings are dedicated to spending time with Abba, several of my days are focused on my assignment at the mission which necessitates being battle ready via bathing in the Word & prayer. Another part of my day is assigned to be attuned to my family (i.e. wife & son) time.

I personally have reached a place in the revelation of who I am in Christ that I care not about public popularity or being on the list of who’s who. I don’t see the need to put myself out there in hopes someone will feel sympathy and direct their finances to me. I have found based upon a study of the scriptures that Father is the source of all I need and with regard to the finances need to support myself the ministry the Lord has called me to labor in partnership with Him, He will provide all that is necessary to not only have eneough to met the meed but also to have an overflow to help the needs of others.

“So above all, constantly chase after the realm of God’s kingdom and the righteousness that proceeds from him. Then all these less important things will be given to you abundantly”
(Matthew 6:33, TPT)

Now, for years I have followed the model as presented by others in “ministry” of trying to sell ones self along with the “ministry vision” through worldly means rather than trusting in the ability of the one who has assigned us being able to see our needs met. One of the nuggets of truth with regard to this revelation I came across a book called “God’s Plan for Financing the Ministry” by Apostle F. Nolan Ball.

Some may well believe I am wrong in this thought process. However I have reached the place in my personal relation based upon the study of scripture to where I have decide to place all my trust fully in the hands of the Father, and daily I am seeking to model my life & ministry after the model our Lord gave us in His Holy Word.

In fact the truth be told, I am so far removed from the fear of the opinions as to how others view and think of me, for I know beyond knowing what Abba thinks of me and that alone is worth more than all the gold in this world.

In this hour it is more eurgent than ever to walk with every step ordered by the Spirit. To seek first His Kingdom and Righteousness in Christ Jesus. There are many voices out there contending for the ears of believers and not all have the Kingdom of Heaven in mind. Ask Holy Ghost to draw you to those whose hearts are pure, with clean hands that are walking in the same direction that you are in seeking to live according to the plans & purposes of our Father in Heaven.

Food for thought……..

“If my people, upon whom my name is invoked, shall humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from the heavens and will forgive their sin and will heal their land. Now my eyes shall be open and my ears attentive unto the prayer that is made in this place; so that now I have chosen and sanctified this house, that my name may be in her for ever; and my eyes and my heart shall be there perpetually. (2 Chronicles 7:14-16, JUB)

On my drive back from Maine I had several conversations with the Lord. One was on the topic of Christian circles and the rampage of the enemy in & through them.

For the past 20 years, I have witnessed how quickly the friendship of believers can end simply by one being called to minister in another area. Or, Lord forbid, they disagree with something released from the highly gifted leader others worship & follow.

If one looks through their spiritual eye, they will quickly discern that the spirit of rejection runs rampant in this city and that across the Christian landscape of this region, one can witness spiritually as to how littered with wounded Saints it has become and increases year after year.

My wife & I both have felt the cold winds of betrayal & scorn yet as for myself the spirit of rejection was evicted several years ago when I pledged my all to Christ and Christ alone. For He opened my eyes as to how the Father truly loves me and that revelation alone triumphs over anyone else opinion.

But there is still an attack against the unity of this city, one Church/ministry against another when it should be all ministries & Churches unified to bring Glory to the King & His Kingdom.

It was in this conversation that the Lord revealed to me what He meant when He said:

For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of the heavens. (Matthew 5:20, JUB)

It’s not about becoming more righteous, its not about ones ability to obey the Law better than anyone else. It’s about being freed from the traditions & rituals of man in thier religious enslavement that motivated them to attempt to become righteous.

It’s all about embracing the eternal truth through the door of humility that it is ONLY because of and through the sacrifice of Jesus that we have obtained a righteous standing before the Father. That because of His sacrificial action on the cross we have received an imputation of His righteousness. That without Christ, we are not!!!

Many if not the majority of these ministries and Churches have been built on the doctrines, traditions and rituals of men, which they believe have established them as to being closer to the Lord and closer to being His true Bride than any other.

But in reality they have caused a greater gulf between themselves and that of being in unity with Heaven. The pride of man is like a mask blocking whom the Lord has called them to be.

It was in this conversation, Holy Ghost revealed places in my own heart and mind that have become tarnished with the ways & philosophies of this world. Along with this revelation, He graciously showed me that the only way to be freed of these faulty heart conditions is to bow in humility before the mercy seat, receive the correction of the Father, and allow Him (Holy Ghost) to continue the process of transforming the way we think and process information.

The awesome news is that this city and region is marked for a soon to be Mighty move of the Lord. Yet sadly, I see many who believe they have positioned themselves to be vessels used in this great move of Heaven but to be left on the sidelines, holding only their pride in their hands.

The lesson of history…….

Let us not forgot the lesson in the Word of how for many generations the Father desired to release a world wide expression of His greatness through the people of Israel, yet because of their pride and unwillingness to humble themselves before His throne, He opened and extended the invitation to the gentiles.

He still at this moment, views America as a lit City on a Hill, yet let us not be blind in discerning that in this generation, in this hour, we find ourselves in and at a pivotal time in our history as a nation.

It’s time for a personal & corporate heart check….

It’s time for a heart check in this city and region as well as the rest of the nation.. Ones long history of denominational standing, or that of being a denomination of non- denominations has not positioned any one religious institution of man to be a door through which Heaven is about to flow.
This next great awakening will be birthed and flow through those hearts that are humbled and completely baptized in allegiance to Christ & Christ alone, seeking not an ounce of glory for themselves rather seeking to give all the Glory to Christ Jesus, King of all eternity.

It’s time to put away false revelation masqueraded as being from Heaven….

I recently sat under a “religious leader” who believes that because he was born here, he has more authority in this city & region than any Saint who was not. When I asked the Father about this, Holy Ghost stated very convincingly that this is a very deceptive lie birthed by the spirit of religion and matured in a worldly opinion. For the sons & daughters of the Father have been giving His authority to subdue and take dominion of this world, wherever their foot steps, they carry the Shalom authority of His Kingdom.

Now is the hour for true repentance…..

The breath of God is about to blow like it hasn’t blown for generations over this nation and those who want to be part of it must enter through the gates humility in possesion of the keys to the inner chamber of His presence which are the keys labeled ,Thanksgiving, Praise & Worship.

On that day many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?’ And then will I declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness.’ (Matthew 7:22-23)

Notice in these verses, Jesus does not deny that they did indeed prophesy in His name, cast out demons in His name, and do many mighty works in His name, yet He says “I never knew you”

Yes, there is mighty power in the name of Jesus, name above ALL names. Yet it is clear that one can be operating in the gifts of God, while at the same time have no “personal” relationship with Him. For as Romans 8:29 declares “The gifts of God are without repentance”

The psychic can be operating in a gift of God, yet it is twisted, distorted being used for a purpose other than glorifying God.

We live in an age when “Gifts” are held to a higher esteem than “Relationship” with Yahweh. One can give powerful prophetic messages, yet have no relationship with God, one can operate in the realm of healing miracles, yet have no relationship with God, one can have the appearance of deep revelations yet use such to build up self rather than glorifying the Father.

Over the past several months, the Lord has been dealing with me on the issue of raising up individuals to walk in their gifts, without first focusing on their personal relationship with Yahweh which is likened to building a ship without a rudder, for in thier not being centered in Christ, they are left at the mercy of operating with no spiritual discernment between true & false doctrines, of hearing their own voice belieiving it is the Father’s or that of being persuaded by the voice of others trusting it is from the Father.

And sadly the whole time believing they are walking in the will of Yahweh, yet such is impossible without a having a close intimate relationship with Him.

I care not how powerful a ministry is or whether it carries the title of changing lives, if it is not focused on our identity in Christ, on how the Father sees us and what it means to live the christocentric life (Christ centered) at the very center of the ministry, it is but a ministry of man fashioned in the appearance of good intentions, yet as the saying goes, “the road to hell is paved with good intentions”.

No my friends, your gifts do not identify who you are, nor do they guarantee your spending eternity with the LORD in His paradise. Ones true identity must be found in Christ, having received such revelation through Holy Spirit.

For Holy Spirit reveals what an intimate relationship of knowing who Yeshuah truly is, leading the individual to obediently surrendering to His Lordship as the only begotten Son of God, and in that revelation lies the spiritual key to the door into Yahweh’s family being opened.

For in truth do the scriptures declare that only through Jesus is the door to the Father opened, at which point one is ushered into the inner court of intimacy with the Father (John 14:6).
