Now I plead with you, brethren, by the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, that you all speak same thing, and there be no divisions among you, but that you be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment, ( 1 Corinthians 1:9-10).
For I am determined not to anything among you except Jesus Christ and Him crucified. I was with you in weakness, in fear and in much trembling. And my speech and my preaching were not with persuasive words of human wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power, that your faith should not be in the wisdom of men but in the power of God. However, we speak wisdom among those who are mature, yet not the wisdom of this age, nor of the rulers of this age, who are coming to nothing. But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, the hidden wisdom which God ordained before the ages for our glory, which none of the rulers of this age knew; for had they known they would not have crucified the Lord of glory, But it is written: Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, nor have entered into the heart of man the things which God has prepared for those who love Him.
But God has revealed them to us through His Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God. For what man knows the things of a man except the spirit of the man which is in him? Even so no one knows the things of God except the Spirit of God. Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we might know the things that have been freely given to us by God. These things we also speak, not in words which man’s wisdom teaches but which the Holy Spirit teaches, comparing spiritual things to spiritual.
But the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; nor can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. But he who is spiritual judges all things, yet he himself is rightly judged by no one. For who has known the mind of the Lord that he may instruct Him? But we have the mind of Christ, ( 1 Corinthians 2:2-16).
That which was from the beginning, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, concerning the Word of life- the life was manifested, and we have seen, and bear witness, and declare to you that eternal life which was with the Father and was manifested to us- that which we have seen and heard and declare to you, that you may also have fellowship with us; and truly our fellowship is with the Father and with His Son Jesus Christ. And these things we write to you that your joy may be full, ( 1 John 1:1-4).
I, therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you to walk worthy of the calling with which you were called, with all lowliness and gentleness, with longsuffering, bearing with one another in love, endeavoring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called in one hope of your calling; one Lord, one faith, one baptism; one God and Father of all, who is above all, and in you all. But to each one of us grace was given according to measure of Christ’s gift, ( Ephesians 4:1-7).
This I say, therefore, and testify in the Lord, that you should no longer walk as the rest of the Gentiles walk, in the futility of their mind, having their understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God, because of their ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart; who, being past feeling, have given themselves over to lewdness, to work all uncleanness with greediness. But you have not so learned Christ, if indeed you have heard Him and have been taught by Him, as the truth is in Jesus: that you put off, concerning your former conduct, the old man which grows corrupt according to the deceitful lusts, and be renewed in the spirit of your mind, and that you put on the new man which was created according to God, in true righteousness and holiness, ( Ephesians 4:17-24).
We all wait for the day, at least, I think we do…. when our days are fulfilled here on this earth and we are with the Lord. The day we see His smile regarding our fruit bearing for His kingdom. How will it be?
If we have a loved one who has gone away for awhile, we may miss him or her, yet, we have experienced their love, their intimacy….. their hugs and kisses. We remember fondly their scent of perfume or cologne…. We remember because we have been in a close intimate relationship with them….. But those memories are never as wonderful as the uniting of our hearts together again in the person.
Our fellowship with our God by the Holy Spirit is wonderful. We experience His presence in a very intimate way- thanks be to our Lord Jesus Christ and His cross and resurrection. We live in this relationship in the Spirit and by the Spirit. We still get hugs and kisses. We get lifted in His embrace……yet, don’t we all want more of Him? His love and His embrace of each one of His children is quite profound and without words to explain but it is GRAND. Thanksgiving and honor for Your great neverending never failing love for Your children, Almighty God and Father. Our God is Spirit. There is the Person of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. However, the Three are One, the Holy One. We worship God in the Spirit and the Truth of the Living God…… So we have all of the Godhead in the spirit within us always…… We cannot see God but God sees us…… Yet, we experience God all around us by His created world and by His Spirit within us and by His Spirit upon us…..
If we feel far off from the Lord, it is not because He has moved, but we have moved with our selfish ways of pursuit.
When we leave the house…… Our mind is still set to return where we belong. In fact, when we leave it is usually to either provide or get something to care for the house… Why? Well, we belong there. It is our home, our life and family is there. Our intention ends up to be big circle….. We may leave physically the house, where we dwell but our heart is still there….but we return in person like a boomerang! The same way is one whose heart is all in Christ, Christ in the heart…… The heart is always drawn towards the Lord. Wondering of the Lord’s heart. Why? We live there. The Lord is where Home is in the Spirit. We may be preoccupied with living His purpose but it is for the Lord and we cannot wait to return to our Home, to rest with Him and fellowship regarding the days at hand.
Now, the greatest gift when we arise from our place of study, prayer,….. we do not leave God there. He is with us- twenty four seven! Worshiping God in the Spirit is available to us twenty four- seven. We are never separated. Though we may not see with our natural eyes the Persons of the Trinity, it does not mean, God is not present with us….The life in the Spirit of God in which we abide and walk out through our life in the flesh, will not change much when we leave the mortal body. How we live with the Lord today and tomorrow, will be how we live with Him through out eternity. So…..
In the military, especially the special forces, the training is tactics in survival. The armed forces job is make sure the ones in training are able to handle and walk through any situation and overcome the difficulty or attack. The military want men and women that can stand on their feet, stand their ground and rely on their trained senses to overcome and survive. So if they are separated from their camp, they will overcome……. The Holy Spirit wants us to lean on Him for all things, just as a military personnel will rely on their trained skills to survive and to overcome valiantly. We know His voice. We know His ways. We want to learn more about Him….. We know when He says go and when He says stay. We sense His will on this situation and His perception on that…… We receive a word of knowledge here and there for helping and protecting the other saints and ourselves. We have trained our senses to shut-up! We have renewed our mind to the gentle nudging and discernment of the Spirit of God within us. We are training to be of one mind and of one heart with our Heavenly Father, the Son and the Spirit of God. The fulfillment of Jesus Christ’s prayer in John 17: 23, I in them, and You in Me; that they may be made perfect in one; that the world may know You have sent Me, and have loved them as You have loved Me.
Most women ask their husbands or boyfriends- what are you thinking about? The Holy Spirit loves when we ask why? Why did You say the Word in that particular way in the scriptures? Why did You have me read this today? What are You showing me? Then we get to wait….. for the revelation or instruction that is coming from our Teacher and Friend. The Holy Spirit will reveal Jesus Christ to us. He will keep us in the path of righteousness and holiness. He is our Creator and Lover of our soul. He is our Heavenly Father and yet, He is the Mighty I AM. He is all and all and in all……. We have in God all we need today, tomorrow and forever. If we are missing something, we are missing that in the Great I AM. He is our Sufficiency. There is not one thing we are lacking as we abide in Him…… He is our everything and our all. He is a God who wants us to have Him as our all. What love. What kindness. What a God we worship. Only our God…… Only our God. Our Jehovah, yet, He calls us His friends. Even us!
We have Him now, beloved. We do not have to wait until we hang up our mortal flesh. We have Him NOW. We have His smile now. We have His correction now. We have HIM! We have His embrace. We have Him lifting us up today! We are seated with Him in the heavenlies today….. Let us let the Word in the Bible become alive with the fellowship of the Holy Spirit today…..
When we let go of the control and man made traditions, we are free in the hands of the One who is our Promise from the Father. When we yearn for knowing God, which is eternal life, we will know we are living in eternity today. We will live with heavenly attributes of our Father and joy which no man can take. We will be free to dance with the King and know we are the beloved as His bride, His city. We are His beauty for the world to behold that they may come to the King of all kings. The Greatest Lord of all lords wants us to be with Him where He is today…..even us! He has made the way by His Spirit !
Paul spoke to us in Ephesians chapter 4…… if we walk in the way of the world, we have not learned Christ….. If we have seen the King, we will be taught by the Christ and will walk in union with Him. As written in 1 John 3:24, Now he who keeps His commandments abides in Him, and He in him. And by this we know that He abides in us, by the Spirit whom He has given us.
The Holy Spirit reminds us of the Words spoken by Jesus Christ. If we do not know the Word of God, how will we know the Spirit of the Living God is speaking to us? If we do not recognize the Word spoken by the Spirit who is teaching, leading and guiding us into all righteousness, how will we know to hear and obey?
Oh, Heavenly Father, we beckon You to come like an eagle and with Your mighty wings of Your Spirit, shake the nest of Your people, and have them shake awake to learn to fly in Your Spirit today, we ask in Jesus Christ’s name. Amen. We are sorry for organizing Your body for our plans and agendas. We are sorry, we have arrogantly thought we can keep You in a box and we do all Your work without You. Please renew Your Spirit upon the face of the earth, so we may live and bear eternal fruit for Your glory. Give us more of Your grace again so we may magnify the name of our Lord Jesus Christ to this generation and the next generation. We ask this in Jesus’ name. Amen
All the ends of the world, shall remember and turn to the Lord, and all the families of the nations shall worship before You. For the kingdom is the Lord’s and He rules over the nations. All the prosperous of the earth shall eat and worship; all those who go down to the dust shall bow before Him, even he who cannot keep himself alive. A posterity shall serve Him. It will be recounted of the Lord to the next generation, they will come and declare His righteousness to a people who will be born, that He has done this, ( Psalm 22:27-31).
We are wise to take the table our King has prepared for us as we live in the wilderness before the presence of our enemies……. Take and eat and know the Lord is good today! However, outside in the natural may resemble the wilderness- the outer court, but we have entered the land of the King, the inner court- the Holy Place. We have entered the Kingdom of God, where His banqueting table is still before us. The more we feast on the table in His courts of the Lord, the Word of God, then understanding in the fear of the Lord and a great desire to dwell only in the Holiest will manifest within. The Word made alive in us, His witnesses of Him.
While we have today and the wood is green, let us partake of the Feast of the Lord . Why is man always repeating his ignorance in waiting until the wood is dry and there is no water to partake of? As it is written the Lord spoke of this day, the days we live in- today! We will not thirst as we drink from the river of living waters flowing from the throne of God. We hear the heartbeat and heartbreak of our Heavenly Father! The Holy Spirit came to dwell within His chosen on the day of Pentecost. The Holy Spirit worked His work in the Words of God spoken by His witnesses….. The Holy Spirit penetrated the hard hearts to melt into wax so they repented and turned to the Lord. The witnesses of the Lord all lived in one accord…… with the Holy Spirit directing their Words and their steps…… Let us live as the Lord wills for us for such a time as this.
So he answered and said to me: This is the word of the Lord to Zerubbabel: not by might, nor by power but by My Spirit says the Lord of hosts,
( Zechariah 4:6).
Selah!
My Children,
The field of this generation has matured as fields of past generations have been fulfilled. The reapers are coming to bring the wheat into the barn and destroy the tares. Do you not know and do you not see the works of My hand through the times of the earth. You accept the seasons and their change into the next. Do you not perceive the change from summer to autumn to winter in My Spirit for the days to come? Alas, when you behold I AM as in a mirror, you are being grown and matured into the same image as I AM by My Spirit….. Alas, I AM has bestowed on you One great hope in My plan for My children. When the storms come as they will, children, hear and obey I AM. Those that have built their home on the Rock will be standing in My presence. As I AM has spoken, where I AM so shall be My servant. Christ is all and in all as I AM has spoken.
I AM has created the gentle breeze cooling your brow in the heat of the day. Alas, I AM has also, created the whirlwind which tears down…….. but alas, the land is cleared for new harvest. Behold, My works upon the sons of men. I AM builds up and I AM tears down. I AM establishes and I AM allows the storms to plow through. I AM. Take heed to the Words I AM has spoken of the seed as the Word of God and the world as its field. Each of your hearts are a seed that is planted and growing……. Do you know what you are growing? Do you know what your harvest will produce? Alas, what your eyes behold and what your ears perceive is the plant you are growing.
The greatness in the highest count among men may be the lowest value to I AM. I AM desires the love of your heart, your mind, your will. The synagogues were filled in My day on the earth, alas, they did not know Me. They did not believe, when I AM searches the hearts and minds of this generation, will I AM find faith? I AM manifests Himself to those who love Me. As I AM walked through the temple, a place that I AM placed His name upon…… A place where I AM searched for the ones who loved Me….. I AM found abominations. I AM has spoken greed and covetousness are growing an evil plant within.
Tend to the intentions of your heart, for out of it comes the actions of eternal life or death. Your intentions are the seeds and your actions further the growth of the seeds. I AM has washed all the world with My blood. Is it wise to not to fall into the hands of the Living God, I AM. Do not forsake My mercy falling upon you this day. I AM has spoken and heed My Spirit who is speaking to you today, even today. Do not forsake My grace. Do not forsake the strength of My arm revealed to bring you back to I AM. Forsake all evil and live. My Word has not been kept hidden but is known by you so you may live from My highway of holiness.
The power of I AM’s Word is active and performing My purpose for which you also have been called. Do not forsake such a time as this to repent and come to I AM. My arms are still outstretched for you even today. Come to Me all you are heavy laden with your guilt and sin……Forsake your evil ways and cling to I AM. You have been forgiven. Eternity shows you clean and white as the new fallen snow but your heart is living as I AM not. It is not wise to lack understanding and forsake the grace of the Great I AM this day. You may live without I AM in your sight, but you are in I AM’s. Come to Me!
SELAH!
