The Lack of Integrity in the Modern Church

All these [gifts, achievements, abilities] are inspired and brought to pass by one and the same [Holy] Spirit, Who apportions to each person individually [exactly] as He chooses. (1 Corinthians 12:11, AMPC)

The lack of integrity is a major issue in the Church today … I have personally witnessed others seeking to propel themselves in ministry off of the reputation of their mentors. As well as having read the stories of countless others.

One thing I can but give Holy Spirit credit for was His never allowing me to try and springboard off from someone else’s ministry.

Over the years I have been blessed to have been part of (and in many cases leadership) some pretty amazing ministries from the prophetic to that of healing and mentored under some incredible men of God.

Yet I never once sought to use their names to advance the ministry my wife and I co-steward. And I believe the reason for that is due in large part to the One my wife & I co-steward with, Christ our Lord. However, I also must give credit where credit is due. – it is also due to the fact of having been mentored by men of God who taught me the importance of integrity in ministry.

I know early on as I started preaching I tried to preach in the style of my favorite preachers. Then one m morning as I was getting ready, Holy Spirit asked a question that shook me:

Why are you attempting to operate in the anointing that Father gave others?

I didn’t have an answer for Him. He then proceeded to explain to me that the Father had gifted me with the abilities that He chose for me and that I could not legally hijack the gifting (anointing) He had given to others. Holy Spirit then said, “Listen to Me and I will train you in the style for which you have been created. If you continue to try and run on someone else’s anointing and or seek to mimic them to gain their reputation, you will end up burning out”.

From that day forward I have never tried to mimic anyone else. Whether I am liked, understood, and called for to preach at other churches, it will be based on the door the Lord opens, not on any that I try to force to open and surely not having gained entrance as an imposter.

Now, looking at the issue of integrity, and with regard to what Holy Spirit has shown me discern that the city I currently live in is home to hundreds of Ismael ministries and churches. Such that were built on disrespect and division. Foundations built on stones of ego and pride often at the expense of those believers who were forced to choose sides.

Derick Prince saw the same thing on his last visit to Jacksonville. In fact, the division and ministry rivalries caused him to state; “Until the Churches in this city repent of their sins of spiritual jealousy and covetousness I will not return to preach here”. Sadly, he never did return.

Jacksonville isn’t the only city plagued with this issue, the Christian landscape across this nation is covered with it. Unity does not mean we have to agree on every doctrine however until we agree and walk as a witness to John 13:34, this nation will not see healing.

Respect, Integrity, and Honor are key Kingdom foundational stones upon which a Kingdom family is built and stands. Yet, even with those stones in place, if they are not established on John 13:34, they will not stand the winds of change and to constant attack of the enemy. 

Where there is a lack in the presentation of the true Gospel message of the Kingdom, the enemy gains access to birth chaos and confusion. Much of Western theology has been reduced to the doctrines of men, which are lacking in the authentic power of Holy Spirit-led lives.

Holy Spirit led Revolution

Then Jesus made a public spectacle of all the powers and principalities of darkness, stripping away from them every weapon and all their spiritual authority and power to accuse us. And by the power of the cross, Jesus led them around as prisoners in a procession of triumph. He was not their prisoner; they were his! (Colossians 2:15 TPT)

The spirit of religion is skilled at deception and it is seen in the doctrines that claim the wrath of God is towards man rather than the truth that it is directed at anything that brings separation between Him and His creation. For it was with the same LOVE used in creating man as that which we see displayed on the cross as He reconciled man back to his purposed intimacy with the Father, Son, and Spirit (Triune God).

Heaven has released the command for a Holy Revolution to see the true Gospel rescued from the twisted gospel that represents a God of wrath and a Son of compassion. And Holy Spirit has been training up a Remnant in this generation whose hands have been cleansed and hearts have been purified. Though often labeled radical, they carry the very burning passion of the Lord to see the Saints liberated to enable them to walk in their Abba-purposed destinies and live the abundant life of liberty that Jesus purchased for them on the cross

In studying the scriptures, there is insurmountable evidence which is clearly seen in the life of Christ, how He perfectly represented His Father to the world, and in that re-presentation, we see in the Son, a perfect display of who the Father is, the God of Grace, Mercy, and Love.

It is that same nasty ole spirit of religion that is imprisoning many today in false doctrines, that sought to deny who the Son truly was, and went to great lengths of even having Him murdered on the cross.

Yet it unknowingly played right into the plans of the Father, Son, and Spirit in that the very death that it thought was its own victory ended up being its own sentence and striping of all power and authority that it had gained in the fall.

The chains of legalism are being demolished

Sadly with all the research ability we have today – with a history of God’s display of love just since the Resurrection of His Son, most of the Church still has a very legalistic mindset to where the very nature of the Father that Christ reintroduced to the world is lost in a very religious legalistic interpretation of the scriptures.

Yet let us Praise God, with shouts of JOY, for the appointed time is upon us when the wisdom of Heaven is going to break through the religious theological strongholds that have been imprisoning the sons and daughters of the Lord for centuries – for the hour when His human Temples begin to glow in the radiance of the wisdom and knowledge of His GLORY has NOW arrived.

Holy Spirit Intervention……..

Below is a message Holy Spirit brought to me for my own life close to 9 years ago. It took close to a year for Holy Spirit to wear down a very prideful and stubborn heart in me. Thus it took time for me to realize the message was intended for, me! Once I realized it and confessed my secret sins to Him, I was led into a season of personal reflection on my whole life.

During this time (close to a year), the enemy took full advantage of the roots of rejection, bitterness, and unforgiveness that he had planted in my life from a young age, to torment me with a mountain load of shame and guilt. I was literally walking through a spiritual wilderness that I found was etched into my life, a divide between my past, the present, and the future.

Notice I said the enemy, not the LORD.

In reality, this was a divine intervention from Holy Spirit. As my reputation as a preacher was growing, my inner world was falling apart. I had become a master of living two lives – Righteous in public (self-righteous) yet leading a very dark life of personal sin-filled deception in secret.

I attempted to use all the “religious” weapons I had learned, yet they had little effect on staving off the devil’s attacks against me. This was especially true in regard to seeing what the Father’s loving heart opinion of me was. In fact, the spirit of religion was my main tormentor.

Then, it was several months after having laid everything on the altar, that I had a powerful life-changing Spiritual encounter with Him in a little Inn in Saluda North Carolina…..I came out of that encounter with absolutely zero doubts as to the Father’s love for me.

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Then Joshua said unto Achan, My son, give, I pray thee, glory now to the LORD God of Israel and give him praise; and tell me now what thou hast done; do not hide it from me. And Achan answered Joshua and said, Indeed I have sinned against the LORD God of Israel, and thus and thus have I done. When I saw among the spoils a goodly Babylonish garment and two hundred shekels of silver and a wedge of gold of fifty shekels weight, then I coveted them and took them; and, behold, they are hid in the earth in the midst of my tent, and the silver under it. (Joshua 7:19-21,JUB)

It is one of the trappings of a prideful heart, to desire fame and fortune over intimacy with the Lord. For such are the snares of the devil, who seeks to defraud the faith community by allowing you to advance in the kingdom while living in sin so that when you fall, not only will your life will be destroyed, but also the lives of those who are connected to you, from your family to a whole congregation.

He loves to cause as much damage as possible, so the more successful you become while living in secret sin, the more damage you will cause to yourself and those connected to you. If you fall from a footstool, you will likely not die. However, if you fall from a highrise building, you will meet a tragic fate. Take heed, the longer you keep hidden your gold, silver, and Babylonian lifestyle, the more it will hurt you and the people around you.

Just because miracles may be happening through you and or your ministry, just because you have crowds gathering at your meetings or you lead a large church, none of these represent the favor of God in your life, if you have secret sins in private. They are momentary trinkets of the deceiver.

Let us remember what the Lord said:

“Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of the heavens, but he that doeth the will of my Father who is in the heavens. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then I will profess unto them, I never knew you; depart from me, ye that work iniquity. (Matthew 7:21-23, JUB)

It is not the works we do that are pleasing to the Lord, it is the position of our hearts. For he who has clean hands (free of sin) and a pure heart (unto God alone) can ascend unto His throne room (Psalm 24:4-5).

_________________________________________________________________

I felt led by Holy Spirit to share this today as I know there are some out there that need the hope this story contains. It is part of my story yet not mine alone. It is the story also of the Father’s love and how Holy Spirit graciously spared me from what could have been a fateful end. That two-minute encounter with Jesus back 0n March 28, 2016, was as real as the air we breathe. Thus it is a weapon to the enemy as well (Rev 12:11).

Let us confess our sins before the Lord today, asking Holy Spirit to remove everything that is not of the Father’s will in our lives so that we may in all we do and say bring Glory to His Holy Name (Psalm 51:10-17).

A new day has dawned … Time to put on the New Man……

So with deep love, I pray for my disciples. I’m not asking on behalf of the unbelieving world, but for those who belong to you, those you have given me. For all who belong to me now belong to you. And all who belong to you now belong to me as well, and my glory is revealed through their surrendered lives. “Holy Father, I am about to leave this world to return and be with you, but my disciples will remain here. So I ask that by the power of your name, protect each one that you have given me, and watch over them so that they will be united as one, even as we are one. (John 17:9-11)

The revelation of the New Man – The Christ man isn’t a futuristic vision, it is a NOW reality. Even as Jesus asked the Father to guard over us, to protect us, that we may be one with them, even as Jesus is one with the Father.

Religion wants to keep us in the doorway of this revelation but seeks to prevent us from walking in it. Thus the doctrine of a sinner saved by grace is anchored in much of the western Church theology. It denied the full victory of what Jesus fulfilled on the cross, in liberating us from the dominion of sins influence. keep us prisoners in a false identity as sinners when the Father declares in His Word that we are His offspring, walk in His Righteousness (2 Corinthians 5:2)

And as many believe in this false identity, they are seduced into looking like the world, exactly the opposite of what Jesus prayed to the Father in the following verses:

“But now I am returning to you so Father, I pray that they will experience and enter into my joyous delight in you so that it is fulfilled in them and overflows. I have given them your message and that is why the unbelieving world hates them. For their allegiance is no longer to this world because I am not of this world. I am not asking that you remove them from the world, but I ask that you guard their hearts from evil, For they no longer belong to this world any more than I do. “Your Word (John 1:1) is truth! So make them holy by the truth. I have commissioned them to represent me just as you commissioned me to represent you. (John 17:13-18, TPT)

This is such a powerful revelation here, and if you have studied the Bible, you know that the Father didn’t just hear the words of His Son here, He honored them b y putting His Yes & Amen on them.

Religion wants to bring us back under the law of works, convincing us that it is up to us to sanctify our lives before the Lord, that our consecration is based on what we can do, not on what the Messiah has already done. This is an outward BIG FAT LIE. Read the next set of verses as they prove it is a religious LIE:

And now I dedicate myself to them as a holy sacrifice so that they will live as fully dedicated to God and be made holy by your truth.” “And I ask not only for these disciples, but also for all those who will one day believe in me through their message. (John 17:19-20, TPT)

So for those of you who still consider yourselves to be sinners, are you saying the Father failed to honor His Son’s request here? Because if you still see yourself as a sinner, maybe you are not truly a son or daughter of the Lord, or just maybe you have been imprisoned with a lie. Because these next verses highlight something very important:

I pray for them all to be joined together as one even as you and I, Father, are joined together as one. I pray for them to become one with us so that the world will recognize that you sent me. For the very glory you have given to me, I have given them so that they will be joined together as one and experience the same unity that we enjoy. You live fully in me and now I live fully in them so that they will experience perfect unity, and the world will be convinced that you have sent me, for they will see that you love each one of them with the same passionate love that you have for me. “Father, I ask that you allow everyone that you have given to me to be with me where I am! Then they will see my full glory—the very splendor you have placed upon me because you have loved me even before the beginning of time. “You are my righteous Father, but the unbelieving world has never known you in the perfect way that I know you! And all those who believe in me also know that you have sent me! I have revealed to them who you are and I will continue to make you even more real to them, so that they may experience the same endless love that you have for me, for your love will now live in them, even as I live in them!” (John 17:21-26, TPT)

So how can one be a sinner yet be one with the Godhead at the same time? Or how can one be a sinner and be joined as one with Christ?

They can not. Religion lies!!!!

Transformed Glory to Glory

Posted: February 16, 2023 in disciples life, Kingdom Teaching, teaching

And we all, with unveiled faces, beholding the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from one degree of glory to another. For this comes from the Lord who is the Spirit. (2 Corinthians 3:18, ESV)

There are doctrines floating around out there that once one is saved, every issue of their past life has been removed and they are to walk in the perfection of the Lord. This is not the truth that the Bible teaches, even in the lives of the Apostles from the 3 plus years that they spent in ministry with the Lord Himself, to the years after the outpouring of Holy Ghost.

I believe, based upon my own studies as well as others such as Charles H. Finney, A.B. Simpson, and E.W. Kenyon that there is a Spiritual transforming sanctification process that takes place.

Many disagree with this. The idea is that when we are saved, everything is made right. The enemy has no place in your life anymore. That also is not accurate. The enemy has no RIGHT to a place in your life. You still have to retake the land so to speak. Is this scriptural?

Yes, it is. And a study of scripture with Holy Spirit as your guide will reveal this to you as well. For it is clear that there is a cleansing and purification process, moving from glory to glory, which is clearly an ongoing situation.

Since you have in obedience to the truth purified your souls for a sincere love of the brethren, fervently love one another from the heart, (1 Peter 1:22 NASB)

As a practical example, we know many who get saved who are still addicted, still sick, still broke, and still have bad habits. The difference is that now they have the power of God to address those issues and be conformed to His likeness.

For whom He foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren. (Romans 8:29 NKJV)

A clear example and witness to these truths is found in Paul’s letter to the Philippians when he writes:

After He was found in [terms of His] outward appearance as a man [for a divinely-appointed time], He humbled Himself [still further] by becoming obedient [to the Father] to the point of death, even death on a cross. For this reason also [because He obeyed and so completely humbled Himself], God has highly exalted Him and bestowed on Him the name which is above every name, so that at the name of Jesus [b]every knee shall bow [in submission], of those who are in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and that every tongue will confess and openly acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord (sovereign God), to the glory of God the Father.

So then, my dear ones, just as you have always obeyed [my instructions with enthusiasm], not only in my presence, but now much more in my absence, continue to work out your salvation [that is, cultivate it, bring it to full effect, actively pursue spiritual maturity] with awe-inspired fear and trembling [using serious caution and critical self-evaluation to avoid anything that might offend God or discredit the name of Christ]. For it is [not your strength, but it is] God who is effectively at work in you, both to will and to work [that is, strengthening, energizing, and creating in you the longing and the ability to fulfill your purpose] for His good pleasure. (Philippians 2:8-13, AMP)

I posted this last bit of scripture, to firstly bring the point home, and secondly to silence the voice of condemnation that the spirit of religion would attempt to imprison you, by stating that it is “your” responsibility to work through the sanctification process, thus you are guilty of fallen short.

Verse 13, severs the enemy’s ability to take you, hostage, in the works-based theology by stating boldly that is the Lord who performs this.

For it is [not your strength, but it is] God who is effectively at work in you, both to will and to work [that is, strengthening, energizing, and creating in you the longing and the ability to fulfill your purpose] for His good pleasure. (Philippians 2:13, AMP)

Our only step in this process is found in obediently surrendering in “Rest” to the finished works of Jesus on the cross.

And this my friends, is a mere part of the GOOD NEWS!

The necessity of Spiritual Discernment

The presence of the “outlaw” is apparent by the activity of Satan, who uses all kinds of counterfeit miracles, signs, spurious wonders, and every form of evil deception in order to deceive those who are perishing because they rejected the love of the truth that would lead them to being saved. Because of this, God sends them a powerful delusion that leads them to believe what is false. So then all who found their pleasure in unrighteousness and did not believe the truth will be judged. ( 2 Thessalonians 2:9-12, TPT)

The enemy is thriving in the area of division and rebellion. Many being disenfranchised regarding the institutional Church have now taken the position of being God’s critics regarding any “Church” setting. Yet Holy Spirit is able to move in any setting so long as the hearts are hungry.

Because of bad leadership, they disregard the call to submit to authentic Kingdom leadership (Eph 5:21, Heb 13:7). And upon their rejection of that they forgo sound Spiritual counsel and lose out on the opportunity to grow with true Spiritual fathers and mothers mentoring them. Instead, they walk in the garments of rebellion, believing they are an authority unto themselves or one could say that they are walking under a strong fog of spiritual delusion.

I thank God for those whom the Father has placed in my life for sound counsel and brothers whom I submit to for ministry guidance.

Yes, there is a place for being a watchman of God moving in the breath of the Spirit bringing Glory to the Father, sounding the alarm, and warning others of false teachers and ministries.

As well there are false watchmen, eating from trees filled with spiritual rot totally vacant of anything regarding the true Kingdom. however, such may well appear to be authentically dressed as though they are of the Kingdom, yet Holy Spirit can see right through their disguise.

For false Christs and false prophets will arise and will show great signs and wonders, so as to mislead, if possible, even the elect. (Matthew 24:24)

For there are true miracles, signs, and wonder just as there are false miracles, signs, and wonders. The issue is having Holy Spirit discernment rather than discerning from a religious heart filled with pride.

Having been in ministry for close to 20 years now and having witnessed the good, the bad, and the ugly in churches & ministries, I am very cautious to give Holy Spirit the opportunity to verify the authenticity of a ministry as well as those claiming to be of the Kingdom, and being seated in a leadership role (1 Thessalonians 5:21, 2 Peter 2:1, 1 John 4:1).

Thus, when I hear someone saying such things as “A Prophet told me God has called me to be an Apostle” I check that with Holy Spirit. Why? Because I still believe there are Apostles today, yet when people say a prophet told them so, then they go on to say that the Father told them to build His church and through that Church, He will bring revival. A number of red flags start flying as Holy Spirit says “No, that isn’t of the Father, for Christ alone builds Hos Ekklesia”.

Now, in today’s age of social media one can find many whose ministry has been pumped up via Hollywood-styled staged videos including deliverances, and miracles, and with no discernment whatsoever, people flock to follow them.

Dare we forget Jim Jones and David Kuresh?

Are there legitimate ministries on youtube and other social media platforms?

Yes, there are many authentic ministries out there. Yet, let us remember, we have been blessed with Holy Spirit to look to and to authenticate. For just as there are legitimate miracles, signs, and wonders, we still have the enemy who is very skilled at showing up with imposter miracles, signs, and wonders. #SELAH

The WORD of the Lord is our Weapon!!!

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)

A Righteous Harvest

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

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

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

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

James 3:18

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


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

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

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

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

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!!!!

blessing blockage……

You might have been spending nights crying out to the Father and it seems as though your tears have been a waste of time..Feeling as though God desires to speak to everyone but you..that others appear to know what God desires for them yet you have no clue…..And you set there day in and day out wondering why you can’t hear from the Lord yourself..You feel as though there is some spiritual force that is blocking you from your blessing,

There may well be and in all truth it might be so close to you that you have been blinded by it.

Look around and see everything that you believe you can not do without.

Friends, family, possessions, material things, job, pets, ambitions, dreams….

These are the very things that may be blocking you from hearing the Lord’s voice clearly…they may even be blocking you from stepping into your true destiny.

It’s is not the person or things that are evil…..it is our own hearts when we place anything or anyone above Jesus…….The Lord God said that we shall have no idols, we shall bow down to no other image. (Ex 20:3-6)

When Jesus told the young rich ruler to go an sell all he had and follow Him it was not because the Lord hates money….it is because He detests anything that we would put above Him in our lives…Jesus saw that this young man found his value in what he possessed. (Mark 10:17-27)

What a lesson for us today!

Why do we allow worldly things to control our perspective of how we are valued?

If we would but for a moment look to the Lord Jesus Christ upon the cross we would see we are valued in the Fathers eyes above anything else in this world!

We will never be able to experience the benefits of God’s Kingdom if we choose to keep one foot in the World!!!!

We must be radical in our hunger for His voice, for His wisdom, for the things of the Kingdom. So radical that we are willing to surrender all that we may but serve our King Jesus, that there is no other higher purpose in our life than that which the Lord God bids us to do,  bowing before His Throne alone

What idol(s) are blocking your blessing today?

Pray and ask Holy Spirit help point out and  grant you the empowering Grace to pull down any idol, any high thing in your life exalted above the Name of Jesus.

For we do serve an Awesome God!

The Power of A Clean Life

A holy people of God are being prepared for the great fulfillment of the kingdom of God on earth. Sons of righteousness with pure hearts in whom there is no guile are being prepared to minister with the army from heaven with supernatural wisdom and power. Their clean hearts and lives will offer no hindrance or resistance to the love and power of God flowing from Father in heaven by the Holy Spirit.

The maturing sons of God will not be daunted by the apocalyptic, cataclysmic events of a world being cleansed by the fire of God.

Who are these people demonstrating the full faith and power of a clean life? They are a new breed of grown up children of God that have emptied themselves and made room for God to rule in their lives. They are humble people of God who have allowed the fire of God to burn away every tendency of sin and the bondage of doubt and unbelief in their souls. They are those whose spirits are made alive and are fully redeemed to the fullness of the love and life of Christ Jesus. They are those who have no regard for the lies of the fallen world and its foolishness. They are those who have thrown off the past shroud of religious unbelief and ungodly madness of the fallen ways of a people sickened by lust and greed. They are those who are as if they had no past but live fully in the embrace of the life of Christ in the presence of God. They are people like you and I breaking through into a glorious life in the Sprit of God on shores of a new land filled with glory.

We are soon entering the most powerful and glorious time on earth. Before us is the time of fulfillment of that which the saints throughout history have sought. They gave their lives knowing it was for a future time. There is rejoicing in heaven when one is TRULY born anew as this new breed of redeemed spiritual creature into a new life of unhindered faith and power of God.

Not all will enter this new creation army of maturing sons living holy clean lives.

Many Christians believe that we are waiting for God to do something further to cause us to walk in supernatural victory. The general belief seems to be that the promises of Jesus to His people are true but not for us now.

For example, the promise that we would do the works that Jesus did and even greater works than the mighty miracles He did is seen as true but they will not come to pass until some future day when God does something more or some other event occurs from heaven.

John 14:12: Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father.

This common belief, I should say unbelief, is largely based on the natural reality that we do not see men around us doing these works. We need to keep in mind that our natural vision only sees what is closely around us and does not see all that is happening worldwide. Also we may not see clearly events that happen around us. Even if supernatural events happen around us we may attribute them to natural causes.

In part these erroneous beliefs are caused by the negative faith implanted in people through religious and secular training over the past centuries. Our experience has trained us that faith and power are limited and simply do not work today as they did in the first century.

People are locked in bondage of doubt and unbelief regarding the word and works of God. Many people reason that since supernatural works are done by God and not man, we are waiting for God to do something to make things happen. It is true that faith and power are gifts from God through Christ Jesus by the Holy Spirit and not of our human effort or doing. However, there is no problem with the availability of the grace gifts of God. They are fully available now.

God is still all powerful and His word is still valid and cannot be changed. These provisions have been fully purchased by Christ Jesus at the cross and the delivery system has been fully established in the Holy Spirit since Pentecost. For a season after Pentecost the gifts were operative and flowing. Faith and power were supernaturally changing the world. Powerful miracles and works of God impacted masses of people and the kingdom of God was beginning to come forth on earth as it is in heaven. Supernatural power gifts came way back then and are available now?

Why should the people of God today have the faith and power of a beggar? Waiting beside the road of life begging God for a morsel of faith to get by for today. Why should we be begging for a hand-out of enough power to endure our bad situations one more day?

Gal 4:9 But now after you have known God, or rather are known by God, how is it that you turn again to the weak and beggarly elements, to which you desire again to be in bondage?

What is going on people?

We are the world changers! We can have the faith and power of the first century! We can have the wisdom of God that will lead us into the kingdom of God!

Everything has been done so why should we be lacking in faith and power and continue waiting for God to send something more?

The problem is not with the quality of the gifts prepared in heaven for us. The problem is not with the delivery system. The problem is with the reception. There is not proper place in the hearts of men to receive the gifts and ways of God prepared for His kingdom people. The receiving dock and the storage rooms are filled with other things that are blocking the way. The data banks in the hearts of men are filled and the faith and power cannot be downloaded until space is cleared and existing data deleted. A decision must be made by man to make the deletions to clear space for downloading great faith and power that will bring forth the kingdom of God on earth as it is in heaven.

Experiencing the fullness of Christ in us is not waiting for God to do something further. Rather, God is waiting on a people that will make room to receive the faith and power of the kingdom.

God is waiting for clean hearts upon which to write His all-wise and all-powerful laws of heavenly wisdom and kingdom reality. The hearts of the people of the world including most Christians are filled with other writings. The space for God to write is already filled and there is not place for Him to scribe the all powerful wisdom and ways of heaven.

Heb 8:10: For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says the LORD: I will put My laws in their mind and write them on their hearts; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people.

2 Cor 3:3: clearly you are an epistle of Christ, ministered by us, written not with ink but by the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of flesh, that is, of the heart.

A far greater standard of holy kingdom living is being lifted up. A pure holy people of righteousness are to be prepared to walk in the supernatural kingdom of God on earth as it is in heaven. For the most part, mankind is not currently operating with God’s standard but has developed other standards. According to man’s standards many things are seen as good and worthy of retaining that are NOT from God and are not heavenly wisdom and truth. All that is not of God that is stored in the hearts of man and serves as standards for man is unclean to God. Even man’s best righteousness is as filthy rags in the site of God.

All natural men and many who are called Christians are filled with knowledge but lacking in truth and wisdom.

The false standards written in our hearts blind us to the powerful supernatural ways of God and prevent the reality of God being written upon our hearts. The ways of God are much higher and far more powerful than most Christians have even imagined.

Can you hear the call of God? Can you feel God pulling on your heart to turn to Him with your whole heart and leave the past to be made a witness of the things which Jesus will reveal to you? Can you see the call to be used in opening the eyes of the religionist and the secularist to turn them from darkness to light and from the power of Satan to God? God is calling a people in this day as He called Paul who was one of the most religious men of His day. He was involved in the death and imprisonment of the followers of Christ. Yet, he surrendered his heart to be completely cleansed from the past and gave His all to change the course of history. He made room for God to write His way upon his heart.

Acts 26:16-18: But rise and stand on your feet; for I have appeared to you for this purpose, to make you a minister and a witness both of the things which you have seen and of the things which I will yet reveal to you. I will deliver you from the Jewish people, as well as from the Gentiles, to whom I now send you, to open their eyes, in order to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan to God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins and an inheritance among those who are sanctified by faith in Me.

Keep on pursuing love.
It never fails.
