GOING DIRECTLY TO THE SOURCE

GOING DIRECTLY TO THE SOURCE

When you need the answer, and your flooded with suggestions, thoughts, ideas, and hope that the answer is among them, you must go directly to the source. The source has and is the answer. Most times the answer is the source. My Father is the source and as you approach Him most times the question does not need to be answered because the problem melts away in His presence. Many who are seeking a word through a prophet find it, but it leads to another question and they are running from meeting to meeting seeking more words. All mysteries are solved in the midst of a relationship with the source. "It is given to you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to world it is not given."  Matthew 13:11 KJV

One of the mysteries of the kingdom is how the Source multiplies Himself. There is a point of connection where the source makes you the source of answers to others questions. Light, power and life are all centered in your Heavenly Father. Out of a deep relationship with Him you begin to carry some of that light, power and life in your spirit and then out of it flows answers to people's everyday problems. You are able to answer questions before they are asked. 

"You are the salt of the earth, but if salt has lost its taste (its strength, its quality), how can its saltness be restored? It is not good for anything any longer but to be thrown out and trodden underfoot by men. [14] You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden. [16] Let your light so shine before men that they may see your moral excellence and your praiseworthy, noble, and good deeds and recognize and honor and praise and glorify your Father Who is in heaven." Matthew 5:13-14,16 AMP

Why always ask questions, when it's possible to be the answer just by staying close to the source. Move from the level of questions and problems to answers and solutions. It's not in what you know but who you know! 

The enemy of your soul will constantly seek to separate you from your Source, using sudden attacks that catch you by surprise. Sickness, financial troubles, relational breakdowns, are all designed to separate you from your Heavenly Father, the very source of everything that a human can seek for! The enemy wants you to seek elsewhere for answers, that will only lead to more questions and deeper problems, like the rest of the world. The enemy has not changed from the beginning, he repeats Genesis 3:1 over and over, "Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?" Don't fall for it!

Never doubt your Source at any time. Follow the peace and love that He gives as an assurance, that you are on the right track. Increase your time with your source and do not become distracted with issues and problems, when you know that the solutions will come directly from the Source of life itself as you stay in His presence!

THE SPOILS OF SPIRITUAL WAR

THE SPOILS OF SPIRITUAL WAR

After ever battle the winner takes the spoils of the enemy, the most valuable being territory, the second prisoners, the third material wealth. At best these are only temporal. But have you considered the spoils of your spiritual battles. Many believers are leaving them behind after they have won. The same categories of spoil exist only in the spiritual realm. When you defeat the enemy in a battle, new territory is yours for the taking. Neighborhoods must be secured with, home church groups, to hold the ground. Prayer meetings in the territory, remind the enemy that you now own the spiritual rights to the land. "Now therefore, in the sight of all  the neighborhood, and the new believers, and in the hearing of your God, keep and seek to be familiar with all My word, that you may possess the new territory, and leave it as an inheritance for your children after you forever."  1 Chronicles 28:8 

 

The prisoners are those you set free who were bound and gaged before the battle began. New born believers, filled with excitement, must not be left wandering on the field, for the enemy to reclaim. They must be discipled to maturity. Moved from milk to meat ASAP. "You have need of steadfast patience and endurance, so that after the battle, you may perform and fully accomplish My Father's will, and thus receive and carry away the spoil, and enjoy to the full what is promised."  Hebrews 10:36

The material goods equal the fruits of the Spirit that each freed prisoner, displays as he or she grows in grace. As life springs forth from the new believer and spreads to family members and their friends and neighbors, you will be rewarded way past your life time on earth. Paul and the disciples are still receiving rewards as new believers beget new believers 2000 years after the left earth. "He who receives and welcomes and accepts a prophet because he is a prophet shall receive a prophet's reward, and he who receives and welcomes and accepts a righteous man because he is a righteous man shall receive a righteous man's reward. [42] And whoever gives to one of these little ones in rank or influence even a cup of cold water because he is My disciple, surely I declare to you, he shall not lose his reward." Matthew 10:41-42 AMP My reward system just keeps on giving and giving!

Make the most of your trials, tribulations and battles, and count them as joy, and do not leave your spoil behind. Follow through on every new believer, keep open every door, look at every battle through eternal eyes. When a person receives salvation the work has just begun, now pick up the spoil and make a disciple of him, or her!  

THE VITAMINS OF THE KING

THE VITAMINS OF THE KING

The carnal mind will not understand this blog, but it may create enough hunger in the spirit man, to eventually put to death the carnal and begin walking in My Spirit. There is a power above all powers, and it is the source of all power that exists. There is a light a million times brighter than all lights, and it is the source of all lights that exist! There is a richer life, richer that all life that ever existed, and all life finds its source in that life. That power, light, and life all come from the very center of My Father. All plants, animals, fish and foul, find their source of life coming from His creative and sustaining eternal life. 

I came directly out of the chest of My Father, I am His only begotten Son, I was never created, because I was eternally in My Father. "Before the world existed I had such majesty and honor in His presence." John 17:5 "I came out from Him, and the disciples believed that My Father sent Me." John 17:8 And now it possible for them to be one, just as Father is in Me and I in Him, now they also may be one in Us, so that the world may believe and be convinced that Father did send Me." John 17:21 AMP When you understand that in the beginning before all time, I was the Word, and the Word was with The Father, and I, as the Word, was God Himself, because I was inside Him. [2] I was present and originally with God the Father. [3] All things were made and came into existence through Me; and without Me was not even one thing made that has come into being. [4] In Me was and is Life, and the Life was and is the Light of all men." John 1:1-4

I said all that to say this, any human that is in Me as I was in the Father, is a new creature, his old life is passed away and all things are new from heavens prospective. 2 Corinthians 5:17 The new creature has a new diet and feeds on the very essence of My Father, receiving daily, power, light and life directly from His presence. This is why I said to the disciples, "I have meat to eat that you do not know of. [34] My food is to do the will of Him that sent me, and to finish His work of restoring all things back to Him." John 4:32,34 

You who are believers are the same as you who abide in Me and I in you, your food comes from staying in My presence. My Spirit in You and walking in My Spirit make us one. Therefore your sustaining power will come from completing the restoration of all things back to Our Father. When you tap into the source of all power, light, and life, you will be consumed by unconditional love. When the three essence of your Creator are mixed together, unconditional love explodes on the scene. The power, light and life that emanates from love is beyond description. You cannot explain power, light, or life, nor can you explain unconditional love. These are not designed to be explained, only experienced. 

To experience them, it is a must to enter My presence and be exposed to His glory. During the exposure you will receive the same spiritual vitamins as your King and "I assure you, most solemnly I tell you, if anyone steadfastly believes in Me, he will himself be able to do the things that I do; and he will do even greater things than these, because I returned to the Father." John 14:12 

DEFINING GLORY

DEFINING GLORY

This is a kingdom impossibility! The glory of My Father is so vastly multifaceted with each facet being so far beyond description, that no man or angel can define it. It flashes in all directions at once from galaxy to galaxy, lighting every star in existence. 1 Corinthians 15:39-41 As soon as one attempts a word of description, a thousand new facets more glorious are exposed. With just one tiny facet "the priests could not enter the house of the Lord, because the glory of the Lord had filled His house. [3] And when all the people of Israel saw how the fire came down and the glory of the Lord upon the house, they bowed with their faces upon the pavement and worshiped and praised Him, saying, For He is good, for His mercy and loving-kindness endure forever." 2 Chronicles 7:2-3 AMP

Elijah prayed for a just a sliver of His glory, and the fire of His glory fell and consumed the burnt sacrifice and the wood and the stones and the dust, and also licked up the water that was in the trench. [39] When all the people saw it, they fell on their faces and they said, The Lord, He is God! The Lord, He is God!" 1 Kings 18:38-39 Moses asked My Father just to look at His face, which is the source of His Glory, and was declined because it would instantly consume him. Exodus 33:20-23 

The glory of My Father has two effects: it either draws, overwhelms, becomes instantly addictive, heals, saves, and is loved and sought after, or on the other side: His glory frightens, makes people run, kills, destroys, and is hated and rejected. It all depends on where your heart is! If you have a heart that seeks after His kingdom then your experience will be in the one or more of the first effects. If you are building your own kingdom you most likely with experience one of the second group. 

 Every human is created and designed with a capacity to carry small amounts of My Father's Glory, because they're made in his image. The amount of glory one can carry depends on the recipient. Every believer is responsible to align his character traits with the Holy Scripture. This is only possible as the person submits his will to the Holy Spirit, which is abiding in him. It is the Spirit's job to guide each one into all the truth, until regeneration is complete! It is the believers responsibility to say, so be it, to each truth. With each work of regeneration a new level of glory can be carried. There is a level that is a point of no return, because "to whom much is given, much is also required". Luke 12:48 

When you have tasted and handled the Glory, even in small amounts, you are required to walk accordingly and keep yourself pure, keeping every door closed to the enemy! But if you have moved in great Glory and gifting you have much more light than the average believer, and a guard must be doubled and tripled, due to the power you carry! Hebrews 6:4-8 The enemy sees you as a great threat at this juncture in your walk, and you are definitely on his most wanted list. A single open door can let in a legion of demons. 

NEVER NEVER TAKE MY GLORY LIGHTLY! No human will ever be given a greater privilege and responsibility, than to be a carrier of My Father's glory! So My beloved, you must keep yourselves built up, founded on your most holy faith, make progress, rise like an edifice higher and higher, praying in the Holy Spirit; [21] Guard and keep yourselves in My love; expect and patiently wait for My mercy--which will bring you unto life eternal." Jude 1:20-21 AMP

THERE ARE NO ATMs IN THE KINGDOM! YOU WANT IT WHEN?

THERE ARE NO ATMs IN THE KINGDOM!

 YOU WANT IT WHEN? 

The western believer has such a poor understanding of kingdom protocol. They bring their demanding attitude into their new birth experience. All I here is now, now, now. Most  believers will go 10 to 15 hours per day an I don't hear a peep from them. The moment they have a need, I hear all types of wailing, shouting, speaking great swelling words of faith, all saying, we need an answer now. Most have worked themselves into a state of wanting everything, because My kingdom is not moved by your immature demands! First of all if you do not understand My plan for your life, how can you make demands. 

I am not interested in furthering your plans, they must be destroyed by you, before Mine can go into effect. Demanding something now, means you have a timetable, that you are demanding I meet. Here's the kingdom way, "when you pray, do not use vain repetitions, as the heathen do : for they think that they shall be heard because they talk so much. [8] Please don't be like them: for your Father knoweth what things you need, way before you ask Him." Matthew 6:7-8 

You need to just start worshiping and loving Him and praying for His kingdom to come on earth. Pay attention to forgiving everyone, so you can stay forgiven. Yes you can ask for your daily bread, but don't tell Him when and where to supply it. You need to pray more for protection from the evil one, so you won't be led into temptation. Matthew 6:9-13 Instead of trying to make your prayer altar a spiritual ATM machine, leave your American instant everything behind, and become part of My kingdom, letting My Spirit call the shots. 

Most of you in the west lack the most important kingdom fruit, patience. Some of you treat your body like a garbage dump for 30 years, pouring garbage food into it night and day. When your body finally breaks down, you demand I instantly heal it, without you making any changes. When you don't get your answer right away, it's My way of changing you, so "consider it wholly joyful, whenever you are enveloped in or encounter trials of any sort or fall into various temptations. [3] Be assured and understand that the trial and proving of your faith bring out endurance and steadfastness and patience. [4] If you will stop with the NOW NOW NOW and let endurance and steadfastness and patience have full play and do a thorough work, you will be perfectly and fully developed with no defects, lacking in nothing." James 1:2-4 AMP

Then you My child, are fully kingdom, as My Father is able to fit you into My body exactly according to His eternal plan, you will never be happier, trust Me!

BREAKING THE GLOOM

BREAKING THE GLOOM

The first sure sign of enemy presence is gloom. The gloom is generated from thoughts of doom. The world is doomed and if you are identified with the world in your lifestyle then it is easy for you to be overcome with gloom. The remedy for overcoming gloom, first of all, is disconnect from your worldly lifestyle, "I do not pray that My Father takes you out of the world, but that He keeps you from the evil in the world. [16] You are not of the world, just as I am not of the world. [17] He is setting you BREAKING THE GLOOM through His truth: His word is truth" John 17:15-17 

Secondly the gloom is chased by praise, praise lifts you out of the natural world and "raises you up together, and makes you sit together in heavenly places with Me: [7] That in the ages to come My Father might show the exceeding riches of His grace in His kindness toward you through Me and the work I did for you on the cross." Ephesians 2:6-7 Whenever you sense gloom attempting to envelop you remember the remedy! Disconnect and praise! Gloom will not approach if you live disconnected and praising lifestyle!

MY LOVE COVERS ASSUMPTIONS

MY LOVE COVERS ASSUMPTIONS

Many true believers from time to time will enter the assumption faith mode, thinking its real faith. One faith covering it all does not exist! "The righteousness of My Father is revealed from one faith to another faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith." Romans 1:17 KJV Everyone is given enough faith for salvation, Romans 12:3 but from there on things are different. Some have great faith for healing, but not finances, some who have great faith for deliverance but not miracles. Some have faith for others but not themselves. 

Peter assumed his faith would hold him on top of the water, but he had not been tested by looking at the waves. Faith took him most of the way but then assumption let him down. Faith caused him to step out and start walking, he assumed it was enough to take him all the way to Me. Real faith would have had him laugh at the waves, but assumed faith, allowed the waves to strike deep fear into his heart, which cancelled out the water walking faith, and he began to sink! "When he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me. [31] And immediately I stretched forth My hand, and caught him, and said to him, O you of little faith, why did you doubt?" Matthew 14:30-31 KJV

Excitement will lead you into assumed faith, but only relationship will move you from real faith to real faith. Just because you claim My word and promises does not guarantee your answer will come. "The word preached does not profit you, if is not being mixed with real faith when you hear it ." Hebrews 4:2 My grace and love will cover assumptions and misunderstandings, I will reach down and pull you up, but after I lift you up, you must move into a deeper relationship with Me, or assumption faith will let you down further the next time!

Assumption faith, just assumes I will take care of everything, it's a lazy faith that fails when times get tough. It eliminates many essential times of prayer, for guidance, protection, and health. A busy schedule is the greatest builder of assumed faith! Many are in such a hurry they forget to pray for traveling mercy, and My Spirit's guidance is not sought, causing the driver to assume. This is a dangerous practice!  You should be "praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;" Ephesians 6:18 

THE LAST STRAW is THE MOST POPULAR GAME OF CHANCE!

THE LAST STRAW is THE MOST POPULAR GAME OF CHANCE!

When will the last straw that broke the camels back be added? No one knows, but everyone that takes the gamble looses! Many people have pushed My grace and My laws all the way to the last straw, concerning  health! Some say they are enjoying perfect health, while ignoring all the poisons listed on the labels do years. My grace has created human bodies that are fearfully and wonderfully made.  Psalm 139:14  But grace does not allow for deliberate disobedience of My laws! After years of feeling great right up until the last straw, and then the morsel of poison is ingested and years of easy living health suddenly ends.

Many people have pushed My and My laws all the way to the last straw, concerning relationships. Men knowing inside how they should treat their wives, but continually ignoring the love and tenderness factor. Ephesians 5:25 Then there is the morning last straw is added, and during the day, the home returns to just a house, filled with remorse and the tough guy cries himself to sleep night after night! 

Many people have pushed My grace and My laws all the way to the last straw, concerning morality and purity. Men and women alike thinking, I know how far to go, the bible is old fashioned. Then suddenly the last straw and an uncontrollable fire of passion, breaks out and the chains of sexual sins bind them to an unthinkable lifestyle.  Proverbs 6:24-29 

My grace allows for many straws, especially for the young, those who are predestined to be saved, and the baby christian. But eventually My holiness must draw the line and the last straw is reached. At this point life suddenly turns to a living hell. The last straw brings divorce, kids lives ripped apart, hospitals, addictions, bankruptcy, courts, jails, federal prison and funerals parlors! It's the law of sin and death at work. "For when you are in the flesh, the motions of sins, which were by the law, are working in your members to bring forth fruit unto death." Romans 7:5 

But there is still one more final straw, dying in this condition without repenting! My grace will allow you to recover from any the former last straws, but the moment your heart stops there's no recovery, from the final straw. The last straw is what brings millions to a salvation experience, but the final straw, sends the rest to hell! Never take this gamble "now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation." 2 Corinthians 6:2 KJV

A HAUGHTY SPIRIT

A HAUGHTY SPIRIT

This spirit differs from pride in that it is highly recognizable. It is on the surface of ones personality, and usually due to a series of easy successes. It is very common among the young and immature, who have somehow avoided the agony of defeat. Modern terms for haughty would be, cocky, show off, arrogant, and smart aleck. They are usually rude, disrespectful, and demeaning. They have no real friends and when they fall all either laugh or giggle! Without knowing it this person is headed for a serious fall.  "A haughty spirit is just before a fall."Proverbs 16:18

A series of falls usually and hopefully will diminish the haughty spirit to where the advice of others will be accepted. 

,

However if the haughty spirit is backed up by deep seated pride then the outcome is much more serious, ending in destruction! Pride will always blame the fall on others, never seeing the error of their ways. The bigger problem is, collateral damage. When the destruction happens, many innocent are also taken down. A prideful commander will take his troops down. A prideful CEO will take his company down, and a prideful president will take his country down. A head of household filled with pride, will take his family down. Pride goes before destruction. Proverbs 16:18

Refusing to take responsibility for the outcome of ones bad choices reveals fact that pride is present to back up a haughty spirit and destruction is near! "Truly I say to you, unless you repent (change, turn about) and become like little children trusting, lowly, loving, forgiving, you can never enter the kingdom of heaven at all."  Matthew 18:3 AMP

THE PRICE OF PRIDE

THE PRICE OF PRIDE

Do you know how many frantic believers have uttered these words? "Please don't ever let it get out, I would be ruined if it did!" Pride goes to extreme lengths to cover all traces of sin. Each covering is made up of a lie, and each lie demands another to cover it. Pride can imprison a free soul in a single day, and chain up the spirit, with the fear of being discovered. It will cause you to avoid people and places, open you up to demon activity, and drive you to substance abuse. It makes you run when no one is chasing you, because "the wicked flee when no man pursues:" Proverbs 28:1 KJV

The reason pride goes before a fall, is due to its infrastructure. The entire infrastructure of pride is made up of lies! First pride lies to you! Then when you start believing it, you start lying to yourself, and then to others, and finally to Me. The first sign that you are believing pride's lie is when you begin to "think of yourself more highly than you ought to think; instead of thinking soberly, realizing that I have dealt to every man the same measure of faith." Romans 12:3 KJV

This may seem so small but it's the greatest weapon in the enemy arsenal! More dedicated believers are taken down with this innocent looking weapon than any other. Right at the edge of the pride cliff, is a sign that reads, YOU CAN DO NO WRONG! 

Then pride makes you lie to others, thousands of unspoken lies, pretending you are something that your not! How you talk at church differs far from how you talk at home or at work!  The things you think, are a million miles from what you display to others. When people discover the both you's, you make excuses and avoid them from then on, as if they did something wrong. 

Pride makes you lie to Me, telling Me how righteous you are, listing all the good and leaving out the bad and the ugly, as if you were dealing with a man! Pride eventually elevates everyone to the place where they are their own king and "every man does that which was right in his own eyes." Judges 17:6 KJV Now you know why "pride goes before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall." Proverbs 16:18 KJV What's right in your eyes will not be right in someone else's and eventually someone will bring you down because your right, has done them wrong! 

So here is the simple kingdom solution, as long as you are walking on planet earth, keep "humbling yourself as a little child, and you will be one of the greatest in the kingdom of heaven." Matthew 18:4 KJV If you sin, don't hide it and make everyone think you are more holy than everyone else! I see everything, so simply, "confess to one another therefore your faults (your slips, your false steps, your offenses, your sins) and pray also for one another, that you may be healed and restored to a spiritual tone of mind and heart. The earnest (heartfelt, continued) prayer of a righteous man makes tremendous power available dynamic in its working." James 5:16 AMP

 

You may say this is so basic, everyone knows about pride, but if this were the case, why are the humble out numbered a hundred to one? All unconfessed sin is buried under pride and unconfessed sin is not covered by My blood! 1 John 1:8-10 

If you are having a hard time dealing with your pride and what people might think, try a little Godly fear and keep this in front of you: "Fear not them which can ruin you or even kill your body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear Me the one who sees and knows everything you do, which is able to destroy both your soul and body in hell." Matthew 10:28
