1 Thessalonians 5:23 ESV
Now may the God of peace himself sanctify you completely, and may your whole spirit and soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Ephesians 5:27 ESV
So that he might present the church to himself in splendor, without spot or wrinkle or any such thing, that she might be holy and without blemish.
Most of us Human beings in planet earth are so called " Walking Dead". The reason - we live in a civilization that had wandered away from our original covenant relationship (unconditional LOVE) with the Godhead. More than two thousand years ago, the life saving works of our Lord Jesus Christ (His birth, death and resurrection) had restored mankind to our "Covenant Roots". Father God did that most painful act to himself so that we will never be separated again from Him thru His Son. That is how much the Lord loves us as His creation and yet there is so much work that we have to do to live out our inheritance as "Royal sons and daughters of our Living God".
In this KINGDOM ERA we are entering, we have just started reclaiming the above which is being lead by the "REMNANT Church" of Christ. It is manifesting spiritually by the ongoing Revival movements in America and other nations. There is also a rebirthing of our Christian Church's Identity (individually and collectively) these days into the ultimate nature of the Godhead thru our Lord Jesus and by the power of the Holy Spirit. Our world economy is moving along with these spiritual movements in the heavens manifested thru changes in the flow of our economic systems worldwide.
To look at this on the big picture - Individually and collectively- We are all Spiritual beings at our ultimate nature. From God's Universe (Three Heavens. galaxies/earth and beyond), the Godhead (Father God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit) and then Mankind/ Humanity (Spirit, Soul and Body). We are all "tripartite in makeup/dimension" This discussion will focus only on the Three Heavens and rest of the above will be written up someday.
Third Heaven (The Holy Throne of the Godhead. with His Army of Angels Saints and Elders) is a planet, in fact a whole universe where our Spirit man/woman should permanently live once reconciled to the Lord Jesus at Salvation. Our mindset need to be anchored and identified from that position as spiritual beings using the scriptures (Bible) as our guide and a prayerful lifestyle(intimate relationship with the Lord). If Humanity can grow in that direction - divine health is achievable and this climate change and other societal issues will be resolved - eventually.
Second Heaven (satan and his demon armies habitation/universe) is primarily controlling/dictating most of earthly/human activities because of our ignorance of our birthright and inheritance of our Father God.thru Jesus. This is our biggest challenge as a society. We are spiritually blind on as to who we are and we approach life/universe using our carnal makeup (mind/intellect/soul- apart from the mind of Christ). We are clueless and predominantly puppets of the entities of the second heaven ruled by our number one enemy - satan. This diabolical structure/heirerarchy in the second heaven controls the world economic system run by heathen nations and people. This is now slowly being dismantled and anti Christ nations and people will suffer greatly if they will not change to move with the Kingdom of God.
First Heaven - physical earth including the galaxies. As I had mentioned above - most of mankind are like "walking dead" to our true inheritance in Christ. We are not aware nor living out our identity as a Spirit, with a Soul living in a Physical body - REDEEMED and RESTORED to wholeness by the Life Ministry of our Lord Jesus Christ. Climate change is one big manifestation of this.
As a civilization, if we can mature or move in the direction of Third heaven culture, we will produce the true geniouses of our civilization as God intended them to be. We will fulfilli our destinies and purposes as a creation of God Almighty.
Union with the Mind of Christ (spirit, soul and body) while seated with Jesus at the Third Heaven is very important. As the scriptures says - as a man thinketh - so is He/She. As Christians - we already have the "Crown of Life and Victory in Christ". That is what the Lord Jesus came to earth, He became a "sin offering" for all of us to our God the Father so we will be restored. No matter what the enemy will throw at us, the Big loser (satan) became a defeated foe at the cross. People and nations lining up with him will be at a disadvantage as the anointing and gloryof the Lord will continue to build up leading into the "Rapture" of the Bride of Christ. Hell do not have a chance in this Era.
Revelation 1:8 ESV
“I am the Alpha and the Omega,” says the Lord God, “who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty.”
All of these I/we believe and receive in your most Holy name Jesus! Amen!
Malachi 3:2 ESV
But who can endure the day of his coming, and who can stand when he appears? For he is like a refiner's fire and like fullers' soap.
1 Corinthians 3:13 ESV
Each one's work will become manifest, for the Day will disclose it, because it will be revealed by fire, and the fire will test what sort of work each one has done.
Malachi 3:3 ESV
He will sit as a refiner and purifier of silver, and he will purify the sons of Levi and refine them like gold and silver, and they will bring offerings in righteousness to the Lord.
A consistent theme (scriptures above) that we will realize as we continue to walk closely with the Lord is He will make our Hearts and Minds down to earth/authentic and teachable. This is the Lords way of refining us so that the purity of His Love within us will only manifest in Him and thru Him.
Before we accept the Lord Jesus as our one and only Savior, we are like "goats" (spiritually) stinky, stubborn, selfish, all about me and myself, know it all very worldly, etc. When our hearts and minds are slowly transformed by His Love, we become like sheep - obedient to Him and His commandments, teachable, fully dependent to Him for His will and plan for our life - to our best interest. We did not create ourselves and our world but the Lord and following Him thru His most precious Son Jesus is always a win win life for us.
Excellent examples in the New Testament are Apostle Peter and Paul. Once they were touched by the Love of God - both gave it all for the Lords Kingdom to advance. They were best friends of Jesus that live on fire of God's love constantly. The supernaturally empowered life of a Christian living at its highest Holy Spirit dimension have only been lived by Christian Leaders who took the challenge of serving the Lord by faith. If the Body of Christ can move in that direction, our civilization will be changed for what we truly were created for by the Godhead. Humanism created the civilization that we are now in - yet we have achieved a lot but spiritually poor. Poverty in spirit creates homelessness, sickness, mental illness, emptiness in our hearts etc. A Holy Spirit driven society will be achievable in the future if we continue to faithfully steward this Jesus Revolution that we are in.
The Lord will use our weaknesses and strengths to bring glory to Himself in all that we do because it is the perfection and divinity of Jesus that will actually manifest in Him and thru Him. The world will try to judge us because their spiritual man/woman is making them want what we have inside of us - God's love being perfected within us. The blessings and persecutions that we encounter in our lives is also the Lord's way of teaching us how to become like Him (our lives) because it will constantly reset our hearts and minds unto himself.
On this Holy Week 2023, our God the Father Almighty have blessed USA and the world - with heavens blessings that have never been experienced by our civilization - thru His most precious Son Jesus and by the power of the Holy Spirit. God's unfailing love for us (mankind) that is being celebrated this whole week in the Bride of Christ is a reflection of how great, how high, how wide is His Love for us - the eternal beauty of Him as our creator. Starting on Palm Sunday (Jesus triumphant entry into Jerusalem riding on a donkey?), the King and God of our universe riding on a donkey, faithfully obeyed what His Dad sent Him to do for us. That is in-spite of Jesus knowing how painful will be that one week journey that was ahead of Him. The whole week was about Father God's redemptive Love for mankind. Jesus suffering and death for our Salvation and Redemption at the Cross on Resurrection Sunday. Jesus was joyfully greeted with Palm branches only for Him to suffer the worst suffering of a man- recorded in the history of our civilization. God the Father sent Jesus to save us from our (sins) wickedness and brokenness. He made us whole at the Cross, restored all those who believe and follow Him- as royal sons and daughters of our Almighty Father. We are now seated with Jesus at the right hand side of Father God- in the third heaven. His rising to Life on Easter Sunday sealed the whole life ministry of our Lord because He conquered death and now alive seated at the right hand side of His Dad in the third heaven - which sets Christianity apart from world religions.
It will be exciting to look forward what the Godhead will continue to do in this Jesus Movement Era that we are now in.
All of these I/we believe and receive in your most holy name Jesus! Amen!
Nehemiah 9:6 (ESV)
You are the Lord, you alone. You have made heaven, the heaven of heavens, with all their host, the earth and all that is on it, the seas and all that is in them; and you preserve all of them; and the host of heaven worships you.
The THREE Heavens in our universe is not discussed extensively in the Bible and hardly preached in our churches. When you are imparted with the Gifts of the Lord's Wisdom, Knowledge, Understanding etc ( gifts of the Holy Spirit) - you will then start to see and understand our world from the perspective of the Lord Jesus as you continue to study and meditate the words of Bible. We are to look at these at the spiritual dimension (unseen by our naked eyes) therefore spiritually learned and understood by our spirit man/woman.
The First Heaven - is the immediate air space that is around our physical body and physical structures on planet earth.
Genesis 1:26
Then God said, “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness. And let them have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over the livestock and over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.”
The Second Heaven - is the dimension between (theThird) Heaven where the Holy Throne of the Lord God Almighty and Jesus AND the First Heaven. The second Heaven is the primary habitation of satan and his well structured army of demons that is controlling the minds and hearts of non believers, including believers who had not matured fully into Christ and pretty much most of our society. If your are wondering why our society is lacking in kindness, goodness, etc..? - it is because of this truth of our existence. Christians keep that second heaven in check most of the time. Going to another planet is not the correct solution on this issue because it is the Heart and Mind of Man (individually and collectively) that is the culprit - so wherever man is, this will continue to happen until we are one with the Lord. The very first sin of mankind is JEALOUSY/REBELLION towards our God the Father Almighty (mankind's creator) and the first sin of man is the father of all problems in our civilization including all kinds of sickness. We (mankind) was a Masterpiece of God, created in His Image and Likeness until the fall of our first parents due to the lies of satan.
God The Father Almighty redeemed us from the fall of the First Adam by sending himself as a physical being thru His only Son - Jesus (Second Adam) so we can not be separated again from Him. Jesus then becomes our everything in order to live and receive our royal inheritance as sons and daughters of our Living God. When Jesus said that He is the way and the truth and the life - it is what it is where ever we are in the universe.
Ephesians 6:12 ESV
For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places. (please read entire chapter of Ephesians 6 for its full context)
The Third Heaven - is where the Lords Kingdom is gloriously established - the center of it - is the Holy Throne of the Almighty God the Father and Jesus with all the Elders, Saints and Angels of that universe. The scripture below is only a glimpse of the Third Heaven. Hell is a different dimension/universe - below the Three Heavens and will be discussed as a separate topic someday.
Revelation 22:1-5 ESV
Then the angel showed me the river of the water of life, bright as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb through the middle of the street of the city; also, on either side of the river, the tree of life with its twelve kinds of fruit, yielding its fruit each month. The leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations. No longer will there be anything accursed, but the throne of God and of the Lamb will be in it, and his servants will worship him. They will see his face, and his name will be on their foreheads. And night will be no more. They will need no light of lamp or sun, for the Lord God will be their light, and they will reign forever and ever.
Our society's consciousness do not understand clearly who we are as a creation and civilization - coming from the TRUTHS of the Bible. There is an absolute TRUTH in our universe and it is all in the Bible. One of our primary challenge on this subject is the way how the Holy Book is written. The words and concepts are coming from a very high spiritual dimension and every time you read the scriptures, a higher revelation will be imparted unto you. And if you are consistently maturing into the mind of Christ, your understanding of scriptures will be supernaturally growing into the realities of Heavens Throne.
In this New Era that we are living, may we be faithful in reading and meditating the words of the Lord in order to receive the open heaven blessings of His Kingdom.
All of these I/we believe and receive in your most holy name Jesus! Amen!
1 John 5:19 ESV
We know that we are from God, and the whole world lies in the power of the evil one.
This New Era (Kingdom Era)- that we are entering is all about the Precise and Accurate manifestation of the HOLINESS and RIGHTEOUSNESS of God the Father Almighty thru Jesus and by the "power" of the Holy Spirit alone - within Christ Church governments into human governments. (Heaven's government will be upon Christ Church governments into Human governments public and private). I do not mean this in a dogmatic or legalistic mindset. The gospel message is to be walked in the grace, peace and love of Christ. Divine knowledge will become a norm in our christian churches into our civilization more and more. This is the ultimate nature of God and His kingdom and there is not enough words in our human vocabulary that can accurately describe His divine/perfect nature, nor will anyone of us - understand and know Him and His kingdom ( at its fullness) until we meet Him face to face in eternity - that is if Jesus return will not happen in our lifetime. This New Era started in year 2020 when planet earth lined up with the Holy Throne of the Lord - like a 20/20 vision - the season Jerusalem was restored as Israel's capital.
The Book of Ephesians is one excellent resource we can use in this New Era. As I have been reading and re- reading this book, the central message of Paul the Apostle is to bring unity to the Body of Christ (Jews and Gentiles) both individually and collectively. It is a short book of six chapters and shows Gods eternal plan for humanity by Grace thru Faith in Christ and more. Paul also expanded a lot in this book our inheritance in Christ - His glorious riches that are available to us all, as believers.
Ephesians 4:24 ESV
And to put on the new self, created after the likeness of God in true righteousness and holiness.
As the REMNANT church will lead us in this direction, there will be a continuous download of information from the Third Heaven that will impart the true riches (open heaven blessings) of the Kingdom of the Lord Almighty to His Bride - the Christian church. This is already manifesting big in Israel as a Nation and the peace process happening in the Middle East (Abraham Accords) where the lineage of Abrahams sons who are Half Brothers - Isaac ( Jews and Christian roots from his real wife Sarah ) and Ishmael (Arab/Muslim roots) from His maidservant Hagar are working together in their economies and as a civilization in that region of the world. The Christian churches in America had always been richly blessed with very gifted servants and the only nation in the world who are sending so many missionaries worldwide. This nation founded by the Puritans (Pilgrims - pls research this online) is the original and true foundation of America. Please use this link to check some of them. This New Era will also bring out a lot that had been hidden during the past "Era". When I was praying about the current war in Ukraine, and the war in Afghanistan several months ago, the Lord revealed to me that this is one of the exposures that He is bringing out to His church. Giants that will fall in this Era will be jaw dropping and a spiritual cleansing to our society. For a long time, prophets of this nation had seen in the spirit realm that most of Americas cultural problems were intentionally done by its adversaries. I had always discerned it coming from Europe but could not pinpoint exactly where it is based (this is only one of them). Several days ago, the Lord gave me a dream vision just before my prayer time about it - tied up to the war in Ukraine. Christ church enemies had based it from the narrative that if they can destroy the culture of a nation - they can destroy that nation. BUT - a nation that is founded by God will be indestructible and will continue to live out its very purpose/s and destiny in the Kingdom of the Lord.
Jeremiah 1:5 ESV
“Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, and before you were born I consecrated you; I appointed you a prophet to the nations.”
Psalm 139:13-16 ESV
For you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother's womb. I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works; my soul knows it very well. My frame was not hidden from you, when I was being made in secret, intricately woven in the depths of the earth. Your eyes saw my unformed substance; in your book were written, every one of them, the days that were formed for me, when as yet there was none of them.
Acts 2:17 ESV
“‘And in the last days it shall be, God declares, that I will pour out my Spirit on all flesh, and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams;
This movement will build up the Bride of Christ into its fullness with the Lord that will bring the RAPTURE into our world. Then comes the great tribulation or judgement of the wicked ones and the New Heaven and New Earth will come where Jesus will rule and reign. The "Rapture" and New Heaven and New Earth platform - will only make sense to a believer who had and will go thru a "Pentecost" moment/s and more with the Lord. You can receive this by faith as the words will come alive to you while reading the scriptures.
1 Thessalonians 4:17 ESV
Then we who are alive, who are left, will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we will always be with the Lord.
Matthew 24:21 ESV
For then there will be great tribulation, such as has not been from the beginning of the world until now, no, and never will be.
Revelation 21:1 ESV
Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and the sea was no more. ( whole chapter of Rev 21)
All of these I/We receive and believe in your most holy name Jesus! Amen!
Matthew 16:6 ESV
Jesus said to them, “Watch and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees.”
More verses on this subject.
The world as it is and the world as it should be - looking at our systems and processes that move our society and our world on a carnal level - One of the big ones is our governments/nations (public and private- shadow governments) and our political systems. If we will look back at the life of Jesus ministry on earth, The Lord had to deal with the similar issues that the Church of Christ is dealing now from these societal structures and systems. This is the same with the society of the Old Testament times. We just have a much more sophisticated version these days- because of our advancements in technology, science etc. I do not mean this in a rebellious way towards them. The Lord will impart to us spiritual gifts when he starts to live within us and "discernment" is one of them ( gifts of the spirit) - ability to know what is truth and lie. You will learn to distinguish the "two" worlds that are in front of you constantly - " the world - that is indicated in the Bible and the world of God. Verses on this: https://www.openbible.info/topics/gifts_of_the_spirit
As believers - we are a citizen of heaven and Christ church - first and foremost, then we obey the laws of the state and pray for everyone. It is important that we have this kind of mindset to become effective as " the salt and light" of our world. Please use our A.C.T.S prayer model in this website (under Power of Prayer tab) - as a guide how to pray about this topic. Please shun from pop culture and mainstream media, they will pull you down with their negativity, the last thing you need in your life. In fact if you can completely remove their influence in your life when you accept Jesus as your personal savior and Lord then focus on "Servanthood" - your life will be full of the "Glory" of the Lord and His Kingdom. What I mean by this - a new life in Christ means being renewed constantly by the truths of the words of the Lord in the Bible - "dead to the things of this present world". Pls understand this concept well by doing extensive research about this subject online. I write up on this someday. Being a servant of the Lord fully surrendered to His will and plan in your life is the key to life of abundance and prosperity of Heaven or Open Heaven Blessings ( Galatians 5:23-24)
Reach out to the lost and introduce them to Christ, then disciple them until they will repeat that cycle you have done with them as part of Christ community. Always be mindful of the leading of the Holy Spirit when doing this and move along with it, not out of your carnal mind or intentions. This is very important ( God's timing) not yours. Its an inner knowing that will confirm this to you that it is the right time to do this and the Lord will confirm this to you also in the physical world thru circumstances and signs. God has movements and almost always it starts and are revealed thru His faithful servants ( Christ Church - collective and individual).
Lastly - the Bible talks of the Lord Jesus reign on earth as our finale. If we are to study the "7 churches" of the book of Revelations we will find clues and meanings of our societal issues nowadays. We are now living the last church described in this prophetic book about the future of our world - Laodicean church. Please do more online search about the nature of this prophecy written about that church and how you are going to relate this in living your life these days. The central message of the Lord in all of these seven churches is Jesus Victory that is already in each and every believer the moment we receive Christ Jesus as our personal Savior. That divine anointing that is imparted to us at the moment of our salvation needs to be nurtured on a daily basis so that you will know exactly what you are born and destined to be - from this world into the next world. Just always remember if you reach out to Jesus (build a relationship with Him and nurture that daily) - He is always Faithful and will be with us all along the way until we meet Him face to face in His throne.
All of these I/we ask and receive in your most holy name Jesus! Amen!
Matthew 28:18-20 ESV
And Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”
Mark 16:15 ESV
And he said to them, “Go into all the world and proclaim the gospel to the whole creation.
John 20:21 ESV
Jesus said to them again, “Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, even so I am sending you.”
The most well known banner of Christianity is summarized in John 3:16 ( John 3) and/or the Great Commission. The synoptic gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John has the same message. The saving love of God the Father thru Jesus Christ.
God So Loved the World
16 “For God so loved the world,[a] that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. 17 For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him.
The Gospel of Christ is inclusive (not intrusive) and requires us to follow the laws of Heaven in order to understand and fully live it out in our lives as sons and daughters of the living God Almighty. The Great Commission is Jesus words sending His followers to spread His Life message. It is a platform God's Great Love to us thru Jesus, a Gospel of Peace and Grace thru Christ Jesus. If we can only fully understand how great, holy, and righteous is that love of God for us, it will dispel all the myths we have about His heart and mind for mankind. In those moments that you will experience a glimpse of His love for us, it will humble us down to nothingness without Him. Most of the time, you will shed tears because of His love for us that bring healing to our burdened heart. Our heart when not in perfect communion with the Lord is not healthy in heavens standards.
John 15:13 ESV
Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends.
On the big picture (John 3) - the Great Commission is a New Birth thru Christ. Once we accept Jesus into our heart as our one and only Savior/Lord, we become a new man/woman (born again) in Christ. It simply means our spirit is restored to its original nature in relation to Jesus. We then become a part of God's family and army. The Godhead thru Jesus will live in us and thru us. You will be in Jesus (spirit, soul and body) and He will be in you. The totality of that is God's Love in us and thru us. There is no human vocabulary that can accurately describe that Love of God for us - because it is so Holy in Heavens standards. The fruits of the Holy Spirit is one summary for that kind of Love yet that is only a glimpse of His Love when we experience those gifts. Until we join the Lord in His holy throne, then we will fully understand His love for us.
The Great Commission indicates the desire of the Lord for the whole world to be saved but it does not guarantee that all of the world will be saved. For one, the Lord will not violate our FREE WILL, as part of His loving nature. He will invite us but will never break the door of our hearts. Also, our heart (mankind's heart) is rebellious and wicked in nature. Jesus encountered these situations when he was doing His life ministry. If fully devoted servants of God still have a trace of rebellion in our hearts, what more of the ones who do not have a clue who Jesus is. The rule is very simple though, to sincerely accept Jesus into our heart and He will do the rest. We have to nurture that relationship daily so that He can do the work with in us and thru us. The gospel of John chapter 3 describes more details that comes with our salvation in Christ.
Father God, you have started a movement these days that is clearly manifesting the Glory of your son Jesus. Continue to sustain us every single day so that we will only do your will and plan for us as your "royal" sons and daughters of your Kingdom. To you alone belong all the Praise, Thanksgiving, and the Glory! All of these I/we believe and receive in your most holy name Jesus! Amen!
Colossians 3:3 ESV
For you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God.
2 Corinthians 1:21-22 ESV
And it is God who establishes us with you in Christ, and has anointed us, and who has also put his seal on us and given us his Spirit in our hearts as a guarantee.
John 1:12 ESV
But to all who did receive him, who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God,
One of the eternal blessings that we will receive when we read, meditate the words of Jesus and spend time with Him daily is knowing Him for who He is as God Son. We will then enter into His world and He will reveal to us Himself and our universe and start living our life with Him, in Him and thru Him alone and no one else. This is the life that is meant for us as children of the Almighty Father.
John 16:33 ESV
I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world.”
John 8:12 ESV
Again Jesus spoke to them, saying, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.”
Our old identity from this world will then disappear. Our mind, heart and our whole being will be transformed into that of Jesus Christ. Your life will be in Christ and Christ life will be in you. This is one of the concepts of the Christian life that took me a long time to fully understand until I start immersing myself in the scriptures. Heavens throne is a whole planet that can only be understood by reading, meditating and spending time with the Lord.
As I had written in the past, there are times when the information that is being downloaded upon you is so much and sometimes I have to pray to Him which one is the most important one that I have to record for that particular time and day. You will feel this urgency to record them because you really do not want to miss His important message for that day.
You will then start living a life focused on the treasures of God's kingdom as this scriptures says:
Colossians 3:2 ESV (Colossians 3)
Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth.
The treasures of kingdom of the Lord is beyond our carnal imagination. Even the descriptions we get from the scriptures about heaven is only a painting to a certain beauty. People who were allowed to visit Heavens Throne room can only come up with human description of that world. Our life on planet earth without the expectation of Jesus return for His reign on earth and or our life in heaven with God the Father is a pity party- no matter how much we tell ourselves that we are happy and contented in this life. The ultimate party of life is with the Godhead in the third heaven.
To keep our focus to be one with the Lord Jesus Christ ( have our Identity in Christ -Alone and No One else ! ) constantly - individually and collectively will propel our civilization to great breakthroughs that we have not seen yet on planet earth.
Hebrews 1:3 ESV
He is the radiance of the glory of God and the exact imprint of his nature, and he upholds the universe by the word of his power. After making purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high,
2 Corinthians 3:18 ESV
And we all, with unveiled face, 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.
Revelation 21:11 ESV
Having the glory of God, its radiance like a most rare jewel, like a jasper, clear as crystal.
All of these I/we believe and receive in your most precious name Jesus! Amen!
1 Corinthians 10:31
So, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.
Genesis 1:26 ESV
Then God said, “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness. And let them have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over the livestock and over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.”
Romans 12:1 ESV
I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship.
Our Father God Almighty is a divine/perfect being and has everything that he need yet, He did something (so Awesome!) to express himself to another being/s (human/s)-by creating us in His image and likeness (including our planet and our universe). He then sustain us for all this time for this one primary purpose. The ultimate nature of God the Father Almighty is "Love" expressed thru His Holiness, Righteousness, Grace, Mercy, Compassion, etc. The Lord wanted to express His nature thru a "Love" relationship with Man/Mankind. The desire of the Lord for man on a daily basis is for us to put Him first in our lives, most especially in everything that we do because He loves us so much and want our fellowship with Him just like how parents long for this kind of loving relationship with their children. His son Jesus said these words to His disciples about our loving Father:
Matthew 22:37-39 ESV
And he said to him, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the great and first commandment. And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself.
When our first parents (Adam and Eve) were created and enjoyed the divine beauty of the garden of Eden, they had this kind of relationship with the Lord until the first sin was committed - Pride, Jealousy and then Rebellion. The evil one who tempted Adam and Eve to commit the same sins he did - originally, was the worship leader of Heaven's Throne. One of his primary job is to take the "Words" of God Almighty back and forth to planet earth/mankind. When he rebelled Father God - he was thrown out from heavens throne into planet earth and is now ruling our civilization because of our ignorance of our inheritance as sons and daughters of Father God Almighty thru Jesus.
Our rebellion to this primary purpose of man as God's creation continue to this day. Most of us make our "self" the Lord of our own lives and not mindful of our purpose in life with God and the consequences of these are also manifesting in our world.
There are so many ways that we can find our purpose in life as a follower of Christ but, the ultimate purpose if we will read and understand the entire Bible - is to Love the Lord our God (the Godhead) by always giving Him "All. the Praise, the Glory and Thanksgiving" in everything that we have and everything that we do. This is how we can express our ultimate love to the Lord because everything about us, within us and around us are all from Him and sustained by Him. Very mature christian churches have this tag line " I am nothing without you Lord! " He is our love, our joy, our peace, our kindness, our mercy etc. - the source of everything that we need in this life. It's the wisdom and knowledge of God that brought our geniuses in the past i.e. - Michael Angelo, Leonardo da Vinci etc, and most importantly our biblical Patriarchs - King David, Solomon, Isaiah, etc., all the way to the great Apostles of the New Testaments.
This tells us also that as a Christ followers, our fascination and dogmatic teaching about caring for the poor is only a portion of the glorious and holy riches of the Christian faith. At the cross, the Lord Jesus finished it all so that we will receive the "full inheritance- open Heaven Blessings" we deserve from our God Almighty Father. In fact the Lords Prayer (the only prayer that the Lord Jesus taught His disciples and left to us) preaches the opposite of poverty Christianity. This New Kingdom Era that we are entering as a body of Christ will reveal more of the authentic nature of our God the Father thru Jesus.
Matthew 6:9
Pray then like this: “Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name. Your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.
The Lords Kingdom will come and His will - will be done on earth as it is in Heaven ( Heaven on Earth or Jesus second coming). This is the ultimate promise and expression of how much God the Father thru Jesus loves us.
All of these I/we believe and receive in your most precious name Jesus, Amen!
Luke 10:19 ESV
Behold, I have given you authority to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall hurt you.
Philippians 4:13
I can do all things through him who strengthens me.
2 Corinthians 5:17 ESV
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.
Our birthright and true inheritance in Christ is very powerful when the Body of Christ will fully function for what the Lord had meant them to be. When Jesus lived His life ministry in Israel, he calmed the storm, heal the sick, raised the dead and performed so many miracles to His followers. The list are on this link. That same Jesus is the same yesterday, today and forever and all believers are able to do what He did and much more when fully in Him and thru Him (alone). We are made in the image and likeness of Him until our first parents rebelled our creator. Father God redeemed us to wholeness by sending Himself as Jesus to planet earth.
Genesis 1:26 ESV
Then God said, “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness. And let them have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over the livestock and over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.”
I had watched this many times thru the lifestyle of the Pastor/Leader of the Christian Ministry where the Lord groomed me way back in 2001. His anointing (His full dependence on Jesus) was already so built up that he was doing healings and miracles like how Paul and Peter were doing at the height of their Christian Ministry Life while they were still alive (i.e Peters shadow healed sick people etc). Watching my (then) Pastor do these things look so seamless and effortless as part of his daily life? One thing that struck me about him was his level of "Holiness and Righteousness" as a human being or Pastor. He was already living on a vey high spiritual dimension - as if his spiritual man is actually in the third heaven yet his physical body is on earth? That's the closest I can describe it?
I know that as a civilization - we can move in that direction if we will continue to sustain this Jesus Movement thru the power of the Holy Spirit.
Acts 1:8 ESV
But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.”
When our spiritual eyes (senses - mind. smell, hearing, etc. of our spirit man/woman) are opened thru a pentecost or born again in Christ experience, we will start seeing things in front of us from Heavens/God's perspective. Our goal after that moment is to work with the Lord to take our relationship with Him to a higher level each day. Backsliding is the worst thing that we can do because of our spiritual nature. Backsliding and our anointing in Christ is a topic I will write more about someday because our life in Christ is a love relationship. A status quo relationship with Jesus is ok but It will not give us the open heaven blessings of the Lord.
2 Corinthians 4:4 ESV
In their case the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelievers, to keep them from seeing the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God.
2 Corinthians 3:18 ESV
And we all, with unveiled face, 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.
The above are only a few of our true inheritance in Christ as a believer. Knowing who our Lord Jesus as God Son and our true inheritance in Him (at its best)- can be found in the scriptures and more. When Jesus went back to His Father in the third heaven, He left us the Holy Spirit who will teach and guide all things about God's Kingdom. That's why spending time with the Lord, reading/meditating on HIs words (Bible), fellowship with believer's and doing His kingdom work are very important in our walk with God.
As one pastor had said, Jesus is the door but you/we have to go thru that door and inside that door - there is a lot more to know about Jesus Christ and God's Kingdom.
Father God, All Praise and Thanksgiving belong to you alone for your Son Jesus. Thank you for sending Him to us as our Lord, Savior and so much more about you than we can even imagine.
All of these I/we believe and receive in your most precious name Jesus! Amen!
Matthew 28:19 ESV
Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,
1 John 5:7 ESV
For there are three that testify....
On July 4th 2022 - America's Independence Day, I want to share this doctrine of our Heavenly inheritance in Christ and more....
Christianity as a Lifestyle (a relationship not religion/denomination i.e. - Catholic, Protestant etc) is grounded on the Trinity of God and can only be understood from this truth. God created man as His workmanship in His image and likeness - Tripartite in nature (a spirit (Holy Spirit) with a soul (God the Father) living in the physical body ( represented to us by Jesus). Jesus came so that we- God's people will be the walking and talking Jesus in this world.
We are a "monotheistic" belief system - one God in three persons as indicated above (three distinct persons/ power/ traits). Apart from our Judea Christian roots, most belief systems are polytheistic (believing many gods. etc ) and it is satanic and not in line with the ultimate truth of our existence. Jesus birth, death and resurrection sets it apart from other religions or belief system because of His supernatural life on earth. The Bible is all about Him and the story of our civilization. Our life In Christ is always black and white - when it comes to our source of information. It is either the Kingdom of God or the second heaven - satan's kingdom. God's Kingdom is perfectly structured in heirerarchy, the same with satan's kingdom because he was once 3rd in command before he was throne out from Heavens throne. Satan had also structured it as a clone of Gods kingdom but corrupted in minute details from the ultimate truth of God's mind.
True Independence or FREEDOM from Biblical standpoint is to be free of anything that is not relevant to our next life in eternity - Heaven or Hell. This truth is as real as our skin and breath validated by people who had written books and some movies in this nation. These people were taken by God to these two eternal places after physical death, then brought back to life to make these real to mankind. The Christian church was always anchored on this truth of our existence and recorded by the Holy Book.
Galatians 5:1 ESV
For freedom Christ has set us free; stand firm therefore, and do not submit again to a yoke of slavery.
2 Corinthians 3:17 ESV
Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.
As a follower of Christ, we are commissioned to share His message with the whole world to reconcile mankind unto the Lord. Sharing the gospel is just a starting point because the book of Revelations discuss extensive spiritual scenes and battles that will happen before the rule and reign of Christ on earth (Jesus second coming). Mankind as God's workmanship created in His image and likeness is meant to live a life of full inheritance in Christ and thru Christ as son's and daughters of our Living Almighty God the Father. After Jesus Resurrection and Ascension to Heaven, thru the power of the Holy Spirit, we can receive all the treasures and riches of Heavens Throne room. Jesus did it all for us so that this "Open Heaven Blessings" will be available to all Christians following the laws of Heaven.
Acts 20:32 ESV
And now I commend you to God and to the word of his grace, which is able to build you up and to give you the inheritance among all those who are sanctified.
This new Heavens Kingdom Era is what we are going live out. This is a Lifestyle of "Grace" using the currency of "Faith" in Christ and thru Christ. This kind of life had been lived and experienced to a certain degree by the First Century Christians and by so many mature Christian churches in the past since America was founded as a nation. You can research this in the internet. These had also happened in other nations but this nation became like a hub for God's Church to spread the gospel worldwide. This is because our Nation and Constitution was founded by devoted Christians.
The book of Acts is a testament or platform that testify to these when the First Century Christian had lived this life and propelled the spread of Christianity all over the world until today. Israel will be the center to all of this in the end - being the birth nation of the Lord Jesus and the location of the New Heaven and New Earth.
Revelation 21:1-27 ESV
Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and the sea was no more. And I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Behold, the dwelling place of God is with man. He will dwell with them, and they will be his people, and God himself will be with them as their God. He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away.” And he who was seated on the throne said, “Behold, I am making all things new.” Also he said, “Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true.” ...
The Bible is very rich with these information about our "Full" life and inheritance in Christ and thru Christ. Father God sent Jesus to us to deliver us these Heavenly Blessings and Jesus left us the Holy Spirit when He went back to Heavens Throne to be Jesus "unlimited" to us.
Isaiah 9:6 ESV
For to us a child is born, to us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder, and his name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace
When Isaiah said the government shall be upon His shoulder - it's the government of Heaven that will be upon Christ Church government/s into Human government/s. The Godhead is perfect/divine in order and Christ Church was birthed for this purpose and reason.
Father God, Praise and Thank you for this special Independence Day of America and the world. When Roe vs Wade was overturned, that was the portal that opened this nation to be restored unto you. We Praise and Thank you for this New Kingdom Era that we are entering. We are expectant of your Open Heaven Blessings to us every single day as our nation is being restored to its original foundations until Jesus Christ Return to earth. All of these I/We believe and receive in your most precious name Jesus! Amen!
Genesis 1:26-27 ESV (Old Testament)
Then God said, “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness. And let them have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over the livestock and over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.” So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them.
Ephesians 2:10 ESV (New Testament)
For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.
On this most important day in the Body of Christ, next to the birth of Jesus, "Resurrection" Sunday or Easter Sunday sets Christianity apart from other world religions. Jesus resurrection from His death is a testament of His divinity/perfection as God son. No religious leader in our civilization had done Heavenly stuff other than the Lord Jesus, especially during His life ministry on earth.
John 11:25-26 ESV
Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live, and everyone who lives and believes in me shall never die.
There is a whole world of Jesus that the Body of Chris have not fully lived yet into its fullness. In this New Kingdom Era that we are entering, divine knowledge, wisdom, understanding and more of God will become a new normal in the Body of Christ. The New Testament books describes most of these, especially the book of Ephesians. The book of Revelations will give us the final chapters of Christ Return - our eternal prize from Heavens throne.
Ephesians 1:4 ESV
Even as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and blameless before him. In love
Colossians 1:9-10 ESV
And so, from the day we heard, we have not ceased to pray for you, asking that you may be filled with the knowledge of his will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding, so as to walk in a manner worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing to him, bearing fruit in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God.
The primary reason God the Father created us is to share His Love nature and Beauty (His heart) to mankind. Christian churches call this worship and fellowship ( individually and collectively). In my personal walk with the Lord, personal intimacy with Him during my prayer time was one of the very first teachings that He taught. I would wake up in the very early morning hours and could not go back to sleep. Later on, when this will happen - I would sit in front of my bedroom altar looking at a picture frame with His image next to the image of Mother Mary and realized that He was asking me to spend time with him thru prayers. This is how I learned to develop my prayer life. When I accepted Jesus as my personal Savior, I never knew how to pray, or at least pray to connect with Him personally. In every step of the way, I learned a lot from the Lord one on one - more than what I had learned from all the church meetings and Christian studies that I have attended/done since 2001. Corporate worship is important as they serve as a sounding board to our Personal relationship with God. The two cannot be interchanged - a strong prayer life ( our relationship with the Godhead) is first, next to corporate worship/fellowship. Jesus will reveal himself to us thru the words of the Bible. Dreams, visions and gifts of the spirit are some of the ones that He will use but the primary platform are the words of the Holy Book.
Nowadays, more than ever - the Lord is seeking our intimacy with Him - individually and collectively. With all the chaos that is going on in our society these days, this is His way of telling us to spend time with Him. It is only in Him and thru Him that we will find our answers in what we are going thru right now ( blessings and persecutions).
We are moving into a glorious future as a Body of Christ. As we continue to take our seat with the Lord Jesus in the Heavens Throne room, exercising our full inheritance in Him and thru Him, this will disrupt the spiritual realm most especially the second Heaven (the abode of satan's army). We will not see these in the secular or mainstream culture or the media etc. Our God Almighty thru the Lord Jesus and in the power of the Holy Spirit alone - knows exactly what He is doing as our creator. If we will constantly focus and surrender ourselves to His Lordship and Kingship in our lives, We - as a body of Christ will definitely grow into Christ Fullness.
John 1:16 ESV
And from his fullness we have all received, grace upon grace.
Colossians 2:9 ESV
For in him the whole fullness of deity dwells bodily,
Ephesians 4:13 ESV
Until we all attain to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to mature manhood, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ,
All of these I/we believe and receive in your most precious name Jesus!
Romans 12:17-21 ESV
Repay no one evil for evil, but give thought to do what is honorable in the sight of all. If possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all. Beloved, never avenge yourselves, but leave it to the wrath of God, for it is written, “Vengeance is mine, I will repay, says the Lord.” To the contrary, “if your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him something to drink; for by so doing you will heap burning coals on his head.” Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
Peter 3:9 ESV
The Lord is not slow to fulfill his promise as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should reach repentance.
To overcome evil with good is probably one of the misused and misunderstood subject of the Bible. From a secular very competitive (football driven dynamics) perspective it is more like when and evil is done to a follower of Christ, it means defeat on that person or harm when the opposite is true in the spirit realm. The gospel (John 3:16) is the ultimate example.
Our forever Loving and Faithful God from His holy throne room watched the whole time how His beautiful plan of man and His creation was being polluted by satan who wanted to steal His seat at the third heaven by planting lies into the heart and mind of our first parents. Father God Almighty never stop until today to sustain us with His saving grace thru our Lord Jesus crucifixion at the cross. God sent His one and only Son to redeem and save His sons and daughters who had fallen outside of His Kingdom life because of Sin and its effects until today.
Almighty Father overcame the deception (Evil) of mankind's number one enemy - satan, by going above and beyond the lies and wiles of the evil one and primarily by the " Divinity and Perfection" of His one and only Son sent to earth in lieu of Him. Thats how great, far and wide is the Love (Good) of our Father to us His creation.
To apply this in our life everyday, using the scriptures is our best weapon. One Pastor said, hit satan with the words of the Bible over and over again until he gets dizzy and can not take it anymore. Praying in tongues is an excellent way because this is our heavenly language that the devil can not understand - to combat his constant assaults to all of us -saints especially being God's armies. This Kingdom era that we are now entering, satan is given an eviction notice and on his way to his final destination when the rapture will happen, comes the great tribulation and then the final reign of Christ.
The very first Holy Spirit movement in the Bible was extensively written by a physician - Luke the Apostle. Of the four gospels, his books (Gospel of Luke and Book of Acts) accurately recorded the activities of the first century christians and what Jesus and the Holy Spirit did starting at the upper room meeting with Mother Mary. Apostle Luke's Book of Acts is the platform/springboard of the spread of Christianity from Israel to all the nations of the world. Looking at the way how our healthcare had evolve these days, it is the opposite of what Dr. Luke, the Apostle had preached. This means spiritual battles for us, BUT after awhile, you get used to the defeat of satan and victory cycle of the Lord Jesus that when these trials come, REJOICE!!! Gods best blessings are coming your way.
This Kingdom Era - as the Holy Spirit presence will continue to intensify thru revivals and other Holy Spirit related movements, we will have breakthroughs after breakthroughs of Healings and Miracles in our civilization. After Jesus preached in length about Christian Living at Mt Olives (Sermon on the Mount) the next thing that he did was healing his followers to wholeness (spirit, soul and body) thru miracles. This kingdom era is a realm - greater and higher than what Jesus did in Israel as he had promised in these scriptures.
John 14 - full chapter.
John 14:12-14
12Very truly I tell you, whoever believes in me will do the works I have been doing, and they will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father. 13 And I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son. 14 You may ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it.
We are now living in the Holy Spirit Movement Era as the Bride of Christ will be unified as one Glorias body ready for the Lord Jesus return for His Bride that will culminate in Israel and propelled by USA. Heavens government will be upon Christ church governments overflowing into human governments. Hallelujah !!!
Father God, all Praise and Thanksgiving belong to you alone for all the supernatural encounters that are happening in our Christian churches these days. Bring us together as one Glorious Body for your son Jesus second coming. All of these I/we believe and receive in your most holy name Jesus! Amen!
Psalm 95:6 ESV
Oh come, let us worship and bow down; let us kneel before the Lord, our Maker!
Romans 12:1 ESV
I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship.
John 3:16 ESV
“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.
There are so many angles that we can look at worship and worship offerings as a believer. As we mature in our relationship with the Lord, He will teach us what is true worship and true worship offerings in His kingdom.
Life with the Lord at the Holy of Hollies is - worship. Everything is moving in full communion with the glory and power of the Godhead.
Looking at this picture in God's Kingdom, our worship and worship offerings (individual and collective) while still on earth is a reflection of what that life will be for us in eternity but, only to a certain degree. The Lord looks at our hearts and minds when we worship Him and give worship offerings to Him. In the Old Testament a good example are how Abel and Cain - first sons of Adam and Eve gave worship sacrifices to God. Cain was the firstborn- a farmer and Abel was a shepherd. Abel's worship and offerings were favored by the Lord over Cain's and created a jealous spirit that prompted Cain to kill his brother. Abel offered God his best, his first fruits indicated by the blood of the animals he used as his offering to the Lord. Cain was a farmer and used produce as his offerings.
Hebrews 11:4 ESV
By faith Abel offered to God a more acceptable sacrifice than Cain, through which he was commended as righteous, God commending him by accepting his gifts. And through his faith, though he died, he still speaks.
The key is a worship and worship offering that is sacred and sincere like a blood offering unto the Lord. When you get to know the Lord's heart and mind, you will give Him your best because of His eternal goodness to mankind. That is inspite of our wayward nature. It is embarrassing not to give Him your best (talent, treasure, time) because He is perfect and divine. He will give you that desire to give only your best - as you get to know Him more and more. The is the big picture concept of prayer time and church gatherings - to honor the King of Kings and Lord of Lords with our best.
The purpose is giving back unto Him all the Praise, Glory and Thanksgiving alone!. He will in turn pour out Himself unto us - what is best for us daily.
To expand on this a little bit, our biblical patriarchs of the Old and New Testament lived a life of worship and worship offerings. Starting with Moses from Genesis all the way to John the Apostle in the book of Revelations. The Old Testament used blood of animals as worship offering with their worship and the Blood of Jesus shed at the cross made the final defeat of satan. The Lord Himself made His own precious and holy blood as a worship offering to the Almighty Father to give His followers access to all of Heavens throne blessings. The tabernacle of the Old Testament as a physical altar for their worship and offerings while in the New Testament, the altar was the hearts and minds of the Apostles and prophets.
The power of worship and worship offerings is tremendous. A strong prayer life to a believer is important - that is worshiping the Lord and meditating on the scriptures. Tithes and Offerings is only a fraction of true worship. Jesus Life ministry is the ultimate example. Praise and Worship gatherings at the upper room started the move of the Holy Spirit from Jerusalem into the ends of the earth. This is still happening in our Christian churches and very mature churches are manifesting the miracles and healings that Jesus did in His life ministry on earth. I have witnessed and experienced these miracles and healings at the first church where the Lord took me that pique my curiosity and hunger for the truth and knowledge of Him and His kingdom.
Psalm 100:1-5 ESV
A Psalm for giving thanks. Make a joyful noise to the Lord, all the earth! Serve the Lord with gladness! Come into his presence with singing! Know that the Lord, he is God! It is he who made us, and we are his; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture. Enter his gates with thanksgiving, and his courts with praise! Give thanks to him; bless his name! For the Lord is good; his steadfast love endures forever, and his faithfulness to all generations.
Luke 6:38 ESV
Give, and it will be given to you. Good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over, will be put into your lap. For with the measure you use it will be measured back to you.
All of these I/we believe and receive in your most holy name Jesus! Amen!
John 15:7 ESV
If you abide in me, and my words abide in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you.
Romans 8:26 ESV
Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness. For we do not know what to pray for as we ought, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words.
Mark 11:24 ESV
Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.
Matthew 6:6 ESV
But when you pray, go into your room and shut the door and pray to your Father who is in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will reward you.
After we receive the Lord Jesus into our heart as our one and only Savior (born again in our spirit), Prayer and Prayer Life will be the next teaching that will be revealed to us. It is the Lords way of showing us how to relate to Him. Christianity is a relationship with the Godhead and it is in this relationship that the He (One God in the three persons - God Almighty, Jesus and Holy Spirit)will "Reveal" Himself to us and His kingdom. The Bible (God's Words) is our number one guide in developing this relationship, along with Worship and Fellowship (individual and collective).
Prayer/s is our constant communication with the Lord, His army (saints and angels) and His Kingdom- ideally while awake or asleep. There will come a point in our walk with the Lord that every prayer that we offer unto Him will be answered. This is when our prayers are always lined up with His desires, will and plan for His creation - mankind/universe. Conviction/s will be placed in our hearts and minds of the sin/s that will block the blessings of our Almighty Father to come upon our lives. Sin and the Godhead can not co exist. When our prayers are answered - the blessings from the second heaven is not our true inheritance. It is important that we will learn to accurately discern the difference between the blessings from the Third Heaven and Second Heaven (i.e. Love or Lust, Faith or Belief in own ability, Joy or Happiness etc)
There are three basic realms or levels of prayer as how it also relates to our tripartite nature - the physical realm, the soul realm and the spiritual realm.
Some more resources as to when, how and what to pray once we become a Christian.
Father God, as we are approaching the celebration of your Son Jesus birth in Bethlehem, Give us the Joy, Peace and Love of Heaven during this Advent Season that will wipe away the pain and sufferings from what is happening physically in our world. I/we believe and receive all of these in your most precious name Jesus! Amen!
Matthew 6:24 ESV
“No one can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and money.
Luke 16:13 ESV
No servant can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and money.”
Hebrews 13:5 ESV
Keep your life free from love of money, and be content with what you have, for he has said, “I will never leave you nor forsake you.”
Serving God and Mammon is one of the toughest walk that a follower of Christ has to fight daily. Our carnal world is controlled by our carnal economy and that is including Christ Church.
It is when a believer will stop identifying his/her existence on what he/she owns physically in this world but on the identity of Jesus Christ alone that you are able to successfully fight this battle.
Most of us identify ourselves based on our job titles, job power, money power etc but when your power comes alone from Jesus Christ living in you, the cares of this world will not matter anymore to you. Everything you own and you have in your life will become your worship offering to the Almighty Father thru Jesus.
When the Bible states that money is the root of all evil, it is the condition of the heart of that person that dictates his/her attitude towards money.
1 Timothy 6:10 ESV
For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evils. It is through this craving that some have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with
When the focus of our hearts and minds on a daily basis is all about the cares and wealth of this world, that's when we fail to live our lives for the Lord. God do not look at what we own physically in this world (worldly assets) but our hearts and all the treasures of heaven that had been built up within us while living the Christian faith.
Father God, on this day that we remember the history of 9/11 in America and of the world, teach us daily how to worship you above all of our worldly positions and ambitions for the glory of your name alone!
All of these I/we believe and receive in your most precious name Jesus! Amen!
2 Corinthians 3:18 ESV
And we all, with unveiled face, 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.
Revelation 21:23 ESV
And the city has no need of sun or moon to shine on it, for the glory of God gives it light, and its lamp is the Lamb.
Revelation 21:11 ESV
Having the glory of God, its radiance like a most rare jewel, like a jasper, clear as crystal.
Revelation 4:11 ESV
“Worthy are you, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power, for you created all things, and by your will they existed and were created.”
One of the biggest frustration that I have to deal with in sharing my faith with the world around me (individually and collectively) is this - we, as a civilization is still living on the Bread crumbs that have fallen off from the dining table of the Lords Feast at the Heavens Throne Room.
When you realize the divine generosity, love, mercy, compassion etc of God, it is mind blowing and seeing the people around us living on the breadcrumbs of heaven is just sad.
The earnest desire of the heart of God is for all of us to live on His "open heaven" blessings yet here we are in bondages to the carnal happiness of our society and its systems and processes controlled by the prince of this world - satan.
An illustration to this are as follows (these were revealed to me in my prayer time) :
I live and work in SF Bay Area and California, called the Golden State- obviously because of the Gold Rush years that brought European and other worldwide migrants to this state. Gold being one of the precious metals of heaven was part of the original physical mineral makeup of California? How far have we wandered away from that, yet we continue to produce the best and the brightest of our civilization? This is God's way of saying - you already have the eternal blessings of my kingdom, go back to your original inheritance as a state. Word of caution, intellectualizing the Holy Words of God will not really produce the eternal intention of those words because the "Word" of God is a spirit of the Holy Spirit of God. This is the primary reason that there are so many Christian denominations in the Christian Community.
On the big picture, when Jesus was ordained by His Dad to ministry work in our planet in Israel - starting with His water and Holy Spirit baptism, the next thing that happened was the three temptations of satan. The third and final temptation (below underlined words) is the platform of our current civilization and we are just entering the Kingdom Era that will break the yokes of the evil one in our society and usher more and more of God's Glory in our planet The current Ashbury University (Kentucky) Revivals that are spreading to many universities is only the beginning work of the Holy Spirit of God.
Matthew 5: 8-11
8 Again, the devil took him to a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their splendor. 9 “All this I will give you,” he said, “if you will bow down and worship me.”
10 Jesus said to him, “Away from me, Satan! For it is written: ‘Worship the Lord your God, and serve him only.’[e]”
11 Then the devil left him, and angels came and attended him.
These are only a couple of what the Lord placed in my heart today. My prayers for our civilization is for us to stop using Artificial Intelligence when it comes to promoting Heavens Agenda? God is such a holy and rigthteous One who will not share His glory with any one of us. He sees everything and all of us will be held accountable for everything that we have done with our lives up to very last detail of Heavens Kingdom Laws.
Heavens Kingdom government will be upon the Body Christ government's (Christ Church) that will overflow into our human governments.
I have only experienced glimpses of the Holy Throne of God and to live at that planet of God Almighty is beyond our knowledge and understanding as human beings. We have to be authentic in pursuing the Lord and His Kingdom- in our spirit, soul and body.
All of these I/we believe and receive in your most precious name Jesus! Amen!
Matthew 16:18 ESV
And I tell you, you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.
Hebrews 10:25 ESV
Not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near.
1 Timothy 3:15 ESV
If I delay, you may know how one ought to behave in the household of God, which is the church of the living God, a pillar and buttress of the truth.
Acts 20:28 ESV
Pay careful attention to yourselves and to all the flock, in which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers, to care for the church of God, which he obtained with his own blood.
Looking at the big picture of the Body of Christ, there is so much diversity and giftings within our Christian churches (individually and collectively) that it can be challenging to sort out what is the main goal of a Servant of the Godhead (God the Father, Son and Holy Spirit). The distractions that the enemy will throw out daily to a believer will make us focus on those - instead of the Lord Jesus who had conquered it all at the cross.
The two primary goals of Christlike Servanthood are the following:
A Christians lifestyle need to be anchored on the above thru prayer intercessions and in their relationships with believers and non believers. It is very easy to get side tracked from these because we live in a very secular world hostile to our birthright as sons and daughters of our Almighty Father. These are the two main foundations of almost all Christian Ministries in the Body of Christ.
Our Birthright/Inheritance in Christ is a topic that still not fully understood by every follower of Christ. Most mature Christian churches live this kind of life but overall, again- as I have written in the past, Christianity as a Lifestyle for believers is still in grade school or maybe high school if we have to use our educational standards as a guide when it comes to receiving the "Open Heaven Blessings" of the Holy Throne Room of the Godhead. Our number one clue to this is how the " 12 Strongmen of the Bible" is still ruling our society most especially the secular world.
This new Kingdom Era that our civilization is entering will lead us into receiving and living out our Heavenly inheritance thru our Lord Jesus Christ. This pandemic (Covid 19) was the starting point of the shakings that our society is being delivered from. It is very important that we line up ourselves with the Leadership of Jesus Christ and His Bride (Christian Community) most specifically the "Remnant Church".
Father God, we Praise and Thank you that as we enter this New Year 2023, the future is looking so much brighter for us in you and thru your Son Jesus alone. You are a God who is more than enough, continue to ordain and order our steps so that you alone El Shaddai will be Glorified in everything that we have and we do with our lives, until we join you in your Kingdom.
All of these, I/we believe and receive in your most precious name Jesus! Amen!
1 John 2:20 ESV
But you have been anointed by the Holy One, and you all have knowledge.
1 John 2:27 ESV
But the anointing that you received from him abides in you, and you have no need that anyone should teach you. But as his anointing teaches you about everything, and is true, and is no lie—just as it has taught you, abide in him.
Luke 4:18 ESV
“The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim liberty to the captives and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty those who are oppressed,
The word anointing is a buzzword in very mature Christian churches. This is a foreign word to most Christians outside of Pentecostal and Charismatic community.
In simple terms - the anointing of a Christian or Christ Church is the overall health of the Spirit man of that entity. It is like the engine to a car or a CPU to a computer. It drives the whole BEING of that person or church. Another way to describe this is the Quality and Quantity of God's substance present in that person, community or situation. The holiness and righteousness in the standards of Heaven's Throne - of that "health" dictates how much power it can accomplish what that person/church is doing. Every single human being is born with a spirit and once they are reconciled to the Lord, the anointing of that spirit will be slowly lined up to the Kingdom of Heaven.
The precision and accuracy of how powerful that anointing is dependent on the faitfullnes of the Christian /Church to fully surrender to the Lordship of Jesus in our life or lives because it is a relationship in both ways, the Lord and His people/church. Most Christians have an inner knowing of this and to be a part of a very anointed church/community is very important. There are some who are able to develop or are fully anointed by the Lord to accomplish what the Lord had purposed them to do such as Moses, Paul the Apostle, Peter, Elijah, Mother Mary and more. (Caution - this is not something that can accomplished using technology, mind control etc - because God is a Spirit and will commune with us thru our spirit. This is something that God the Father, Jesus and the power of the Holy Spirit is able to accomplish - only in heaven's terms.) Very mature churches will always advocate or preach on full surrender or yielding to the Lord Jesus.
This is the primary reason why a certain movement/s especially if it is being orchestrated by/from a carnal group - is not able to do what it is trying to accomplish because - if the purpose is heavenly and the anointing is not right with the heart and mind of God when it comes to purity, it will fall flat in the eyes of our Holy and Righteous God. The pure power of the Holy Spirit will not be there to do the work of the Lord. He is that jealous as a our creator. He wants it all or nothing.
Deuteronomy 4:24 ESV
For the Lord your God is a consuming fire, a jealous God.
Exodus 20:5 ESV
You shall not bow down to them or serve them, for I the Lord your God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children to the third and the fourth generation of those who hate me,
Exodus 34:14 ESV
(for you shall worship no other god, for the Lord, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God),

Philippians 2:13 ESV
For it is God who works in you, both to will and to work for his good pleasure.
Psalm 37:4 ESV
Delight yourself in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart.
James 1:17 ESV
Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights with whom there is no variation or shadow due to change.
Once our life is reconciled with the Lord God Almighty thru Jesus and by the power of the Holy Spirit, the Lord will start putting His own desires in our hearts and minds. He will divinely make this manifest using our (individual and collective) unique personality traits that will still carry Jesus anointing within us and thru us. As it is said, we become the walking, talking Jesus in our world. This is how the great Christian Leaders in our civilization have become. Good examples are Moses, Elijah, Apostle Paul, Peter (Old and New Testament Patriarchs) excellent Christian Leaders in America and abroad i.e Benny Hinn, Billy Graham. This is including all the men and women of God (Christian pastors, evangelist, etc) who have lived before us and who are still living in our society these days, spreading the Gospel and manifesting Jesus Power thru Healing and Miracles to so many people in our world.
The opposite is true when we are living our life apart from Heaven's Kingdom culture and climate. The desires that we have in our hearts and minds are from the prince of this world (satan) and his army. In some ways, these carnal desires are superficial and fanatical. We are like scratching only the surface of Heaven's life's treasures and living on spiritual bread crumbs, instead of spiritual steaks of the Feast of Heaven. We become fanatics of satan's foolishness from body mutilation, body art, gender confusion, etc including MENTAL ILLNESS which is currently being preached in our human governments and some Christian churches???.... you name all the silliness of hell and the carnal world has them all.
What is very important to remember about our nature as a human being individually and collectively is that, Man is tripartite nature - primarily a spirit being (a spirit, with a soul in a physical body- 1 Thessalonians 5:23)
destined to live forever in eternity (heaven or hell). Is our spirit main power source from Heaven or Hell (God Almighty and His forces or Satan and his army )- CONSTANTLY. If we are not aware what is the spirit that is driving us on a daily basis based on this spiritual law - we are living a life that is like on a stationary bike or living a life heading to the most painful side of eternity.
At the cross of Calvary, Jesus had finished them all. He conquered death thru His resurrection, sickness/infirmities, pain, suffering, pretty much everything that the world of satan preaches. Jesus performed all of these healing and miracles to wholeness during His earthly ministry. Yet, as a Body of Christ - we have not claimed nor taken our position in Christ to live our full inheritance in Jesus and thru Jesus - as son's/daughter's of the Almighty God the Father.
Galatians 2:20 ESV
I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.
1 Peter 2:24 ESV
He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, that we might die to sin and live to righteousness. By his wounds you have been healed.
Hebrews 12:2 ESV
Looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God.
May we continue to walk in the victory that Jesus had done for us- at the cross in this Heaven Kingdom Era that we are entering - to the Glory of God the Father Almighty.
In Jesus most holy name, I/We believe and receive all of these! Amen!
Acts 4:12 ESV
And there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.”
Acts 2:23 ESV
This Jesus, delivered up according to the definite plan and foreknowledge of God, you crucified and killed by the hands of lawless men.
Purpose and Destiny as a follower of Christ are important mindset that we need to remember while serving the Body of Christ. As Christians, our purpose is generally same while our destiny is unique and specifically designed by the Lords mind -for each human being born into this world.
The Christian churches (individually and collectively) had been faithful in keeping its members focused on the basics of the faith and keeping them nurtured into full maturity in Christ. The discussion on these two subjects is more of a Five Fold Ministry anointing which is a very mature subject so I will try to simplify them as much as I can. Five Fold offices are the primary DNA of our being that we are born with. I have written in the past that when I became devoted to the Lord, I was functioning these offices and did not even have a clue why I was doing so - other than the inner knowing that it was me who was in Christ. The great Apostle Paul authored the Five Fold Ministry as he himself experience these giftings while doing his extensive life ministry in the New Testament. Jesus is the totality of the Five Fold ministry anointing - perfect/divine. Our physical world is ruled by forces of the the second heaven (satan and his army) and the Five Fold Ministry is an excellent platform to bring a team effort in doing Christian Ministry.
Finding our Purpose in Christ is very easy because we were created by the Lord for this single purpose - to Love Him and our neighbors (Fellowship and Worship) individual and collective. Because God loved us first, when this becomes a real experience in our lives, our Love of the Lord will be an imparted gift to us. This love relationship with Him makes our whole being and activities in life - centered on our Love of Him and giving glory to Him alone. This habit will then become second nature to us in our relationship/s with the people around us. The latter one (loving our neighbors) is very difficult to accomplish daily in our secular world that is counter culture to the activities of our eternal home - Third Heaven. If you are lucky to have a full time job working for a Christian Ministry then, you got this covered very well. Jesus words on our Purpose as Christians are below. The whole Bible is about God's Love to a fallen mankind and to express that love among believers then non believers. Our Father God Almighty demonstrated this by sending Jesus (His only God Son) to earth as our Savior.
Matthew 22:37 ESV
And he said to him, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.
Destiny is the unique calling/ministry that is assigned to you and the very reason you are created and born into earth. As a member of the body of Christ, each one of us has this one specific destiny in the Lords Kingdom. What if each one of us is aware and clearly know what that is? This will actually make our lives simpler, at its best - laser focused on what that destiny is that was set for us alone. Some scriptures that illustrates our destiny in Christ.
Romans 8:30 ESV
And those whom he predestined he also called, and those whom he called he also justified, and those whom he justified he also glorified.
John 15:1-17 ESV
“I am the true vine, and my Father is the vinedresser. Every branch in me that does not bear fruit he takes away, and every branch that does bear fruit he prunes, that it may bear more fruit. Already you are clean because of the word that I have spoken to you. Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit by itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in me. I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing. ...
Our Lord Jesus Christ is the best example that we can use in illustrating these two subjects. Jesus purpose is to be the physical representation of our Father God Almighty's Love to mankind and our love in return to the Godhead. Jesus destiny is to be our one and only Savior. There are so many that we can use like Moses, Abraham, Isaiah, Mother Mary, Esther, John the Apostle etc. This is hardly preached in our churches so I will leave this discussion at this point for now, as our civilization is moving forward in this Kingdom era.
1 Corinthians 15:45 ESV
Thus it is written, “The first man Adam became a living being”; the last Adam became a life-giving spirit.
All of these I/we receive and believe in your most holy name Jesus! Amen!
Matthew 25:21 ESV
His master said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant. You have been faithful over a little; I will set you over much. Enter into the joy of your master.’
Luke 19:17 ESV
And he said to him, ‘Well done, good servant! Because you have been faithful in a very little, you shall have authority over ten cities.’
John 12:26 ESV
If anyone serves me, he must follow me; and where I am, there will my servant be also. If anyone serves me, the Father will honor him.
This topic is called The "Parables of the talents" and it is one of the prominent teachings of Jesus to His followers. This is a law of the Kingdom of God that is not often preached in our Christian churches. This teaching of the Lord was recorded in the gospels of Matthew, Luke and John. There are several books of the Old and New Testament that also mention this including the closing book - Revelations. What this concept/doctrine means is that once we accept the Lord into our heart sincerely as our only Lord and Savior, we are to live our lives in obedience to the excellency of Jesus Christ as His follower. It can be described also as excellent "Christian Stewardship" in all that we have and all that we do with our lives - to bring Glory to the God Almighty alone thru Jesus. The danger of this teaching though is the so called "legalistic" attitude as how the Pharisees and Sadducees had become.
To finish "strong" in living our faith as Christ followers is our goal. This is not easy to attain because we live in a carnal world that is rebellious to our birthright as redeemed sons and daughters of God Almighty. In addition to this, the adversary ruling the second heaven will flag us once we commit ourselves to serving Father God. He will not touch the people who are already under his wings which is the reason why most Christian leaders and members are persecuted by non believers or lost believers. Satan will do everything to distract us by attacking our spirit, soul and body - targeting that one special weakness of our being that we are borne with - so that we will lose our testimony of Christ. All of us have this weakness that becomes our personal cross in our journey with the Lord. The great Apostle Paul had this to say about this weakness:
2 Corinthians 12:7-10 ESV
So to keep me from becoming conceited because of the surpassing greatness of the revelations, a thorn was given me in the flesh, a messenger of Satan to harass me, to keep me from becoming conceited. Three times I pleaded with the Lord about this, that it should leave me. But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me. For the sake of Christ, then, I am content with weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and calamities. For when I am weak, then I am strong.
This also means that at the moment of our salvation, we have to be intentional in cleansing our being (spirit, soul and body) of all the malice that we have absorbed from the carnal world. The Psalms of David are good examples.
Psalm 51:10 ESV
Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me.
Psalm 51:1-19 ESV
To the choirmaster. A Psalm of David, when Nathan the prophet went to him, after he had gone in to Bathsheba. Have mercy on me, O God, according to your steadfast love; according to your abundant mercy blot out my transgressions. Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin! For I know my transgressions, and my sin is ever before me. Against you, you only, have I sinned and done what is evil in your sight, so that you may be justified in your words and blameless in your judgment. Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity, and in sin did my mother conceive me...
The Holy Spirit of the Lord will actually give us gentle reminders or nudging about this. This will be in the form of some kind of divine appointments thru Christian leaders or outlets that we will be visiting or listening. In my case, there was this constant hunger to know more about the Lord and His Kingdom. One of the best thing that we can do in our journey with the Lord is to intentionally saturate our whole being (mind and heart and body) with the words of the Lord thru reading, meditations and praise/worship songs. Listening to very mature Christian preachers and leaders thru their worship services. The anointing or the quality and quantity of the presence of the Holy Spirit of God makes a big difference when listening or watching these information.
Jeremiah 23:24 ESV
Can a man hide himself in secret places so that I cannot see him? declares the Lord. Do I not fill heaven and earth? declares the Lord.
Psalm 139:7 ESV
Where shall I go from your Spirit? Or where shall I flee from your presence?
To summarize this parable - the more we become like Jesus in spirit, soul and body (individually and collectively) the better our "Heavenly Garment" will be at the Holy Throne of God. Our heavenly bodies is all we have and we get after we pass this physical world. There is no such thing as skin color, sex or gender, age etc kind of distinguishing mark in us in that realm. The beauty of the Lord's Love within us and thru us will manifest in heavenly perfection. The celebrations of saints ,apostles, prophets, teachers etc in Christian churches is what this is all about because the impartation of their gifts/substances to us will edify us as Christians. When these are done, it should not be about them as a servant of God but about the manifestation of the Lord thru them, their lives and what they have done to the Lord's Kingdom. It will always be about bringing glory to God the Father thru Jesus alone!
Philippians 3:21 ESV
Who will transform our lowly body to be like his glorious body, by the power that enables him even to subject all things to himself.
Matthew 22:30 ESV
For in the resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels in heaven.
All of these I/we believe and receive in your most precious name Jesus! Amen!
John 10:10 ESV
The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly.
Luke 6:45 ESV
The good person out of the good treasure of his heart produces good, and the evil person out of his evil treasure produces evil, for out of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks.
Luke 6:38 ESV
Give, and it will be given to you. Good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over, will be put into your lap. For with the measure you use it will be measured back to you.”
Matthew 6:33 ESV
But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.
Proverbs 3:10 ESV
Then your barns will be filled with plenty, and your vats will be bursting with wine.
The Church of Christ these days as I have written in the past is still in grade school, maybe high school if we have to use our education system as a standard. Mainstream idea of the faith is really about humility tied up with scarcity. When we start reading the Bible daily, we will see and understand that on the big picture, the Holy Book is really about the "Prosperity and Abundance" of Heaven's Throne.
When Jesus said these words in John 10:10 - The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly, this is the kind of " New Life in Christ" that a believer will start living once we accept Jesus as our personal Savior.
This is one concept/doctrine of Christianity that took me a long time to fully understand and live out because at that time, I did not know that our true/ultimatel makeup is a " spirit being". All those years that I had ignorantly live out my true identity as a human being, I had also absorbed within me so many ideas and thoughts of the world that are not really what I am as a special creation of our Almighty Father thru Jesus Christ. It was only when I started having real spiritual experiences (visions while I am awake or when praying) and Pentecost moments during our Praise and Worship services that I started to realize and embrace the true riches of the faith. These experiences taught me that what we had believed and absorb from our secular world are not really who we are as human beings. Here's the link to one of these Pentecost moments I had with the Lord. These are the experiences that taught me on how the spiritual world dictates what happens in our physical world.
Since those days, I had learned to live a lifestyle of abundance thru generosity and more. You project unto the people and the world around you what you have within you. One of those is the " Joy" of the Lords presence within you. Then there's the feeling of contentment that the Lord truly loves us as His children. This means that at the moment of our salvation, we are entitled to receive that "Open Heaven" blessings from the holy and glorious riches of Heavens Throne.
There is only a small segment of the Body fo Christ (Christian Church) that understand and lived this out because most believers are at the mercy of the teachings from our church services like Sundays or whatever that day is based on their denomination. We need both Individual and Collective Worship/Fellowship. The more we spend more time and effort in developing our Individual Prayer Life, above and beyond normal, always growing into Christ maturity, the better it is for us. Church services will be like a sounding board that will reinforce to us what we learn in our personal prayer time. The Church of Christ is the body and we are members of the body. A strong member of that body will shine so bright in the spiritual realm that brings the favor and blessings of heaven that are not visible with human eyes.
Christianity as a lifestyle of Heavens Abundance and Prosperity can only be achieved by reading, meditating and living out the words of the Lord on a daily basis. I am sorry to say this but this is how I receive my revelations and riches of the faith. Christianity is a "Revelation". Once we get revelations from the Lord, we will then start living that out and we move from only glory to another.
All of these I/we believe and receive in your most precious name Jesu! Amen!
1 Corinthians 10:31 ESV
So, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.
2 Corinthians 3:18 ESV
And we all, with unveiled face, 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.
Hebrews 1:3 ESV
He is the radiance of the glory of God and the exact imprint of his nature, and he upholds the universe by the word of his power. After making purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high,
This topic is very hard to chew spiritually so please bear this with me. The aura (anointing-totality of all the energies of the spirit, soul and body) of each human being are primarily controlled by the ruler of the heavens - Godhead (God the Father,Jesus. Holy Spirit and Satan with his army). One of the primary platforms of this ministry- man is a tripartite being. A believers life is always black and white because of our spiritual nature. Our spirit man/woman is always connected to these forces in the heavens. The spiritual world controls what happens in our physical world.
1 Thessalonians 5:23 ESV
Now may the God of peace himself sanctify you completely, and may your whole spirit and soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Most humans do not really understand this topic in its entirety or maybe even have clue of the importance of this in our lives - because our civilization's consciousness have not matured into that of our Heaven's Throne Room inheritance. Christ Church had always been diligent and faithful in teaching this concept of Heaven and Hell. But the State (politics) and the private sector is still very behind about what really is the purpose and destiny of each human being borne into planet earth. In fact - it is very frustrating to watch the mainstream media constantly preaching about how bad one party in comparison to the rival party/ies. Our civilization is very ADVERSARIAL in its systems and processes of doing things. Competition is the name of the game and Artificial Intelligence is controlling most of our activities of daily living.
Revelation 21:8 ESV
But as for the cowardly, the faithless, the detestable, as for murderers, the sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars, their portion will be in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur, which is the second death.”
The most unfortunate thing is that it is what it is - until most human beings understand and embrace our roots from a biblical standpoint, many people will be lost into the eternal damnation of Hell. The reality of Heaven and Hell is as real os our skin and breath. People who have experienced the Lord will testify to this. What is even more unfortunate is that the most populous nations that are pursuing world power and dominance in the world are ruled by cultures that are paganistic in their way of life (multiple gods etc. including fame, money and power). They have some idea that a Christ centered life is good for man but they are stucked in their cultural backgrounds and indoctrinations.
When our spirit matures into that of Christ mind and identity, we are able to see thru the physical persona of a human being, place or a certain situation. This is called discernment and spiritual eyes of our spirit man/woman. Every time I see this especially on people who are leading big groups of people, it is heartbreaking and praying for these situations is the best thing to do. Jesus being God the Son was functioning with His "spiritual eyes" while he was on earth.
1 Corinthians 2:14 ESV
The natural person does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are folly to him, and he is not able to understand them because they are spiritually discerned.
John 1:47-48 ESV
47 Jesus saw Nathanael coming toward him and said of him, “Behold, an Israelite indeed, in whom there is no deceit!” 48 Nathanael said to him, “How do you know me?” Jesus answered him, “Before Philip called you, when you were under the fig tree, I saw you.”
In summary, as followers of Christ - we need to be intentional in living our identity in Jesus. We are constantly bombarded daily with so much information at home, at work or where ever we go 24/7. The tyranny that is happening these days from Artificial Intelligence functioning as the Godhead is very scary - if you can accurately discern these energies in your life daily. If we do not keep our conscience always connected to the Lord Jesus, these information will be absorbed by us and will remain in our spirit, soul and body. These are the energies/spirits that radiates as our aura (God's glory or satan's deceptions). Sickness and Infirmities develop from these energies - in our being.
The good news is that as member of the Body of Christ - after we receive the Lord Jesus sincerely in our heart as our Savior, He does not leave us. The Holy Spirit of the Lord is always with us to be our comforter and teacher of all things about Jesus our Christ.
John 14:26 ESV
But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things and bring to your remembrance all that I have said to you.
Romans 8:26 ESV
Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness. For we do not know what to pray for as we ought, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words.
All of these I/We believe and receive in your most precious name Jesus! Amen!
Acts 10:38 ESV
How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power. He went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with him.
Isaiah 61:1 ESV
The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me, because the Lord has anointed me to bring good news to the poor; he has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to those who are bound;
Luke 4:18 ESV
“The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim liberty to the captives and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty those who are oppressed,
Most Christian Ministries especially the very mature churches are very careful in choosing the Leaders that they will ordain to lead their communities. The anointing (Holiness and Righteousness) of that leader is the key that will drive the future of their churches in lining up with the teachings of the Godhead so that only the will and plan of God will unfold. Using the scriptures above, Jesus is our ultimate leader and leadership anointing that we have to pray, emulate and ask the Father to be upon us. This is in addition to making our life right with the commandments of the Lord (Old and New Testaments). The secular world sort of copy this kind of model but without giving honor and glory to God the Father, these are what the Bible call as foolishness in the eyes of God.
On the above verses, (Isaiah 61:1) the Prophet prophesied (about 700 years before) what the Lord Jesus fulfilled physically when He read and spoke (Luke 4:18) to His followers- a major starting point of his life ministry in Israel/Jerusalem. Jesus was officially anointed by His Dad during his water baptism by John the Baptist and then His Holy Spirit Baptism when this happened . Mother Mary also obeyed the laws of their society at that time Jesus was born by "Presenting and Consecrating" baby Jesus at the Temple.
In the Body of Christ, leaders and members will in many ways go thru these kinds of cycle in their lifetime. Our Bloodlines will give us clues on these and it is important to recall, honor and pray for our Bloodlines. In order for us to fulfill our Destiny and Purpose that the Lord had ordained us to do from our physical birth until we join Him in eternity, it is important that we will find that out. It took me three decades before the Lord Jesus clearly revealed that to me. At the moment of our salvation, this will slowly manifest and there will be divine appointments from that day that the Lord will ordain your steps so that you will fulfill your Destiny in Jesus Christ and thru Him alone. Living our life apart from that as a Christian is sort of missing the mark for the very reason that we are born into planet earth.
This is one principle of God's Holy Throne dynamics that if our current civilization can only fully understand and use in moving our world forward, we will produce the true geniuses of our society that will lead us into the second coming of our dear Lord Jesus Christ: - (The Rapture, Great Tribulation and then Jesus final Reign on Earth). I am writing this from my experiences as a devoted follower of the Lord since 2001. At its best, Christianity can be understood, revealed and practiced at the spiritual level and there are many spiritual dimensions. These kind of life and ministries had been lived and practiced by many of our Christian Leaders/followers in America and abroad - in the past to the present. Jesus is the best example.
We are serving an eternally Faithful God and He is always fulfilling that role in our lives daily. We are in fact unable to hear, see, and understand clearly His divine hands working miraculously in our lives thru blessings and persecutions in every moment of our lives. This means that an intimate relationship with the Godhead is very important, He has to be first in our lives and to give Him honor, glory, praise and thanksgiving alone in everything.
All of these I/we believe and receive in your most precious name Jesus! Amen!
Romans 8:1-39 ESV (Romans 8)
There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. For the law of the Spirit of life has set you free in Christ Jesus from the law of sin and death. For God has done what the law, weakened by the flesh, could not do. By sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and for sin, he condemned sin in the flesh, in order that the righteous requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not according to the flesh but according to the Spirit. For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit set their minds on the things of the Spirit. ...
Ephesians 2:8-9 ESV
For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast.
A human being that has accepted Jesus Christ sincerely as his/her only Lord and Savior, will start receiving the favor and blessings of God the Father Almighty. Because we are primarily a spiritual being ( tripartite in nature) our spirit man/woman will be reconnected back to the Holy Spirit of the Lord. The gift of "Grace" is one portal of heaven that will be opened up in our life.
Grace simply means that you do not have to work very very hard or beat up yourself to become a citizen of God's Kingdom. At the cross, Jesus did it all for us. He died for the sins of the whole world so that mankind can receive the full inheritance of heavens kingdom thru Christ. If "humanity" can fully realize the magnitude of this gift from Jesus - we will stop striving - to earn the blessings and favor of God the Father Almighty. The "Grace of God the Father" thru Jesus sets Christianity apart from most, if not - all belief systems. Most religions is about "Do this, do that, do more etc " in order to attain the favor and blessings of their god. Christianity says it is all done!. Jesus Christ - at the Cross of Calvary, on His last breath proclaimed to mankind - that it is all finished. Meaning - the Lord did it all. Because of his death thru crucifixion, we are saved and redeemed sons and daughters of the Almighty Father - all of mankind sins past, present and future. This also means that at the moment of our salvation, we can start living our supernatural life in Christ and thru Christ, from one life of glory to another (growing into Christ maturity). You can see these kinds of supernatural blessings in very mature Christian churches. Just as Jesus did in His earthly ministry, these Christian churches are experiencing - the lame walk, mute and deaf are able to talk and hear, dead are being raised to life, deliverance from addictions etc. These are the list of Jesus miracles that are still happening until today to Christians.
1 John 2:2 ESV
He is the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only but also for the sins of the whole world.
Hebrews 9:22 ESV
Indeed, under the law almost everything is purified with blood, and without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness of sins.
One of satan's dirtiest tricks is to bombard Christ followers mind with the spirit of condemnation. Our mind will then become the "battlefield" of God's favor and blessings versus the condemning thoughts of satan and his army. When you start reading, meditating and spending time with the Lord daily, you mind will be strengthened by the Holy Spirit of God. You will walk your life with the crown of Christ victory on the cross. An excellent template that we can use to protect our mind is the "Armor of God".
Ephesians 6:10-18 ESV
The Whole Armor of God
10 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might. 11 Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil. 12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places. 13 Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand firm. 14 Stand therefore, having fastened on the belt of truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness, 15 and, as shoes for your feet, having put on the readiness given by the gospel of peace. 16 In all circumstances take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming darts of the evil one; 17 and take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God, 18 praying at all times in the Spirit, with all prayer and supplication. To that end, keep alert with all perseverance, making supplication for all the saints,
Again, the Lord Jesus already finished it all at the cross so that the "Open Heaven Blessings" in our lives will just flow freely upon all of God's people - God's gift of Grace.
All of these I/we believe and receive in your most precious name Jesus! Amen!
Philippians 2:8 ESV
And being found in human form, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross.
Romans 5:19 ESV
For as by the one man's disobedience the many were made sinners, so by the one man's obedience the many will be made righteous.
2 Corinthians 5:21 ESV
For our sake he made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.
Christ centered "Obedience" is completely opposite to the version of "obedience" of our carnal world. Almost always this is an imparted gift to the servant of God. It's as if the Lord will superimpose a divine "faithful obedience" to that particular person that the Lord had called for a specific purpose in His Kingdom. God's provision from start to finish is always complete and the gift of Obedience to the Godhead is only the starting point.
This is how Martyrs of the Faith have become. They risk their lives standing in the gap - for the people who are perishing into the wrong side of eternity. These giants of the faith lived their lives as a lighthouse and fortress to the Body of Christ and the world - even to the point of death. Jesus Christ, Moses and the Apostle Paul are excellent examples. The last two were the opposite of saints when the Lord handpicked them and molded their hearts thru the refining fire of God's love for years and years. Moses was a murderer before God appeared to him in a burning bush and started using him mightily after that. Apostle Paul was one of the worst Christian persecutors (many have died because of him) in his time before the Lord Jesus made a supernatural manifestation to him at Damascus. Jesus called Paul by his name (Saul at that time) and told him exactly what he is doing to Him and God's people. The Lord made him blind and gave him clear instructions what to do to regain his sight. Both men made a "U" turn in their lives and ran the race of Christ in full surrender and dedication to their calling, leaving everything behind to lead the flock of the Lord.
What is very interesting with these three examples from Jesus, Moses and Paul is that they have started from a life of affluence and excellence. Jesus from the Holy Throne room of God the Father left heaven as He was sent to earth - only to be born on a manger, surrounded by animals, did His life ministry and was then crucified for all of humanity sins. He brought himself back to life, fellowshipped with his disciples/followers for a short period of time. He left us the Holy Spirit ( aka -Jesus unlimited), then went back to heaven and now sitting at the right side of God the Father. Moses and Paul were the same. Moses was raised by Pharaoh's daughter and Paul was a sophisticated intellectual (learned) man before his conversion. Another group of New Testament saints that stands out in their obedience to the Gospel of Christ were Apostle John, Peter and James- Jesus inner circle). These apostles were forbidden by the state to preach the Gospel of Jesus but did them anyway which propelled the Holy Spirit movement in the book of Acts. This supernatural movement of the Holy Spirit because of their obedience -crumbled the Great Roman Empire at that time and brought the Gospel to many parts of the world until today. Mother Mary was a very peculiar one - young and innocent, handpicked and obeyed God the Father to become the human mother of Jesus - bypassing human conception when Jesus was planted by the Holy Spirit in her womb. Mother Theresa is another one. There are so many of these patriarchs and matriarchs of the Christian faith including Priest, Nuns, Monks, Pastors Teachers etc - devoted leaders of Christ Church who choose to leave the life of convenience and luxury of our carnal world to embrace and suffer the cross of living a life for the Lord Jesus to enjoy its glorious benefits
A Christlike obedience is obeying the voice of the Holy Spirit of God, It is living our life away from the convenience, safety and or luxury of the world - for the cross of Christ. The story of David and Goliath is another big one. It is about standing up for the Holiness and Righteousness of God the Father Almighty whatever is the cost. People who live this kind of life knows what God's faithfulness is all about. It is simply turning and refusing to play by the rules of the games of our secular world ruled by the enemy. Minding always of the crown of victory from the Lord that is already upon us to defeat the attacks of the enemy - every single time. God the Father Almighty is never short of His divine Provisions, Favor and Protection to His faithful servants.
Hebrews 10:23 ESV
Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for he who promised is faithful.
2 Thessalonians 3:3 ESV
But the Lord is faithful. He will establish you and guard you against the evil one.
All of these I/We believe and receive in your most precious name Jesus! Amen!
Romans 3:23 ESV
For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,
John 14:6 ESV
Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.
Revelation 3:20 ESV
Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and eat with him, and he with me.
The scriptures above are only a few of the many that validates Jesus as our one and only Savior. As a human being, biblically - our tripartite nature is a spirit being with a soul, living in our physical body. We are ultimately spirit beings destined to live forever - either in Heaven or Hell. Gods planet or Third Heaven- if that is where you want to go is perfect/divine/Holy. None of us has the qualifications to be able to enter that Kingdom of God Almighty except thru Jesus.
Isaiah 64:6 (KJB)
But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away.
God the Father does not take this truth within the standards of our legalistic mindset, but according to His divine heart and mind. Meaning, by simply- believing and accepting Jesus as our only Lord and Savior (born again in spirit), it will be best for us - along with making our lifestyle right with His commandments (Old and New Testaments). After we receive the Lord Jesus into our heart sincerely, it will be the Holy Spirit of the Lord that will always comfort us and guide us in growing into maturity and fullness of Christ Jesus. Our growth in Christ needs our cooperation because it is a relationship with the Lord.
When Jesus was ministering to His disciples and followers in Jerusalem/Israel - he was using parables so that his followers can understand Him. He is God Son and His reality is of a very High Spiritual dimension so, the parables simplify his thoughts to that of human mind. One of the metaphors He was using was that - "He is the door" that either opens or close so that the sheeps can go to where He is leading them to go - thru His voice.
In short if we want to join God the Father Almighty in His Kingdom, Jesus is our door or way to get there by becoming one with Him - spirit, soul and body (Individually and collectively). The scriptures is our users manual with His Holy Spirit as our Jesus unlimited. Jesus Christ was specifically sent to earth as a God - the Son (born human) to save us from the effects of the first sin committed by our first parents (Adam and Eve). Jesus then became the second Adam (sinless and God the Son) because the first one had failed. As the Bible indicates, our human heart had become so wicked and dark because of that first sin that none of us will get a free pass to Heavens Throne Room except thru Jesus. Most of us are not even aware of this condition of our heart, that is why a daily examination and confession of our sins and wrongdoings (our conscience) to the Lord is necessary in our walk with God. In fact, it is the Mercy, Grace and Compassion (some of God's Love/Agape attributes) that actually sustains non believers and believers while we are still on earth. God's Love to mankind is that great and eternal.
Matthew 9:4 ESV
But Jesus, knowing their thoughts, said, “Why do you think evil in your hearts?
Jeremiah 17:9 ESV
The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately sick; who can understand it?
Mark 7:21-23 ESV
For from within, out of the heart of man, come evil thoughts, sexual immorality, theft, murder, adultery, coveting, wickedness, deceit, sensuality, envy, slander, pride, foolishness. All these evil things come from within, and they defile a person.”
All of these I/We believe and receive in your most precious name Jesus! Amen!
Mathew 9: 9-13
10 And as Jesus[a] reclined at table in the house, behold, many tax collectors and sinners came and were reclining with Jesus and his disciples. 11 And when the Pharisees saw this, they said to his disciples, “Why does your teacher eat with tax collectors and sinners?” 12 But when he heard it, he said, “Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick. 13 Go and learn what this means: ‘I desire mercy, and not sacrifice.’ For I came not to call the righteous, but sinners.”
A common theme that you will see as you continue to read the synoptic (four) Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John is that Jesus was always hanging out and teaching the people who are lost and sick. People who are Lost in their direction to the Kingdom of God Almighty and the People who are sick with illness/es and infirmities.
As a follower and servant of the Lord Jesus, our belief in God Almighty that He is such a Holy and Righteous being can get us misaligned to Jesus teachings and goal in His earthly ministry. I have seen these too many times in our secular society and I myself fall into this trap.
As a part of the Remnant church serving the Lord's Kingdom, we are called to walk into a Holy and Righteous (Healthy) lifestyle in Christ but our goal is to seek and save the Lost/Sick. We have to live out Jesus lifestyle in order to be a true testimony of His healing grace and mercy to those who do not know Him. Jesus can not manifest in us without that sincere desire and purpose in our heart while serving Him. Sin (especially big ones), and Jesus can not co exist. In as much as Jesus wants to do so, He can not because His Holy and Righteous nature will leave us when that sin is bigger than Him within our being. What are those sins? This is another topic to write about but the basics are - Salvation - sincerely accepting Him os our only Lord and Savior. Any kind of Lord that we place in our heart before Him is already a deterrent to Him. Then there's worship/fellowship/prayer life with Him, Servanthood by practicing our individual and collective ministry thru Evangelism, Obedience to His commandments -Old and New Testament teachings.
Again, as followers of Christ we have to walk the higher road of Holiness and Righteousness by making our lifestyle right with the heart and mind of God. We are to live out God's commandments and follow the church/biblical teachings on marriage, family, singleness, treatment of the people around us, basically Christ integrity and Identity thru Him and in HIm. As we walk this road - our goal is to seek and save the lost. This was the pitfall of the Pharisees and Sadducees of the New Testament times. We can distinguish the so called - " the world" referred in the Bible and God's world by their lifestyle. People who live in the so called "The world" do not know and live out the laws and commandments of the God of the Bible.
All of these I/we believe and receive in your most precious name Jesus! Amen!
Deuteronomy 28:12 ESV
The Lord will open to you his good treasury, the heavens, to give the rain to your land in its season and to bless all the work of your hands. And you shall lend to many nations, but you shall not borrow.
Luke 6:38 ESV
Give, and it will be given to you. Good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over, will be put into your lap. For with the measure you use it will be measured back to you.”
Luke 3:21 ESV
Now when all the people were baptized, and when Jesus also had been baptized and was praying, the heavens were opened,
On this special day that "Roe vs Wade" in United States was overturned, the "Open Heaven Blessings" of this nation had just started. This humungous curse to this nation was just removed. Legalized abortion in a nation is literally "legalizing" murder to innocent human beings. What was repulsive on this abortion business was using the body parts of aborted babies as a prime material for making beauty products etc. You can research this issue in the internet. Children are very special beings in the Kingdom of God because of the purity of their spirit man/woman that are not tainted yet with the worldly spirits. Jesus words on children:
Matthew 18:2-3. NEV
He called a child, had him stand among them and said, “I tell you the truth, unless you turn around and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven!
At the moment of human conception, it is the Holy Spirit of God the Father that creates that life with a specific destiny in Gods Kingdom. That life carries also the attributes of both parents and their lineage that will express within the soul in the physical body - of that human being. No one in this world has any right to terminate what God Almighty had created. There are exceptions of course and they need to be guided by the fact that we - mankind are sacred beings in the eyes of our Almighty Father. On top of that, America is underpopulated so propagating this agenda of killing our babies do not make sense at all. The growing older adult population had not produced a generation that will take care of them in their retirement years.
An "OPEN HEAVEN" Blessings is a divine portal that flows all the riches of Heavens Throne room into a follower of Christ, Christian communities, or the Body of Christ - in general. The intensity, precision and accuracy of the glory of that portal is dependent on the status of the spirit man/woman of that believer/s in relation to the desires of God's heart and mind (Individually and collectively). If the body of Christ can fully understand, claim and take position of this inheritance we have in Christ, the second heaven where satan is ruling has no power at all on the Body of Christ. The Blood of Jesus and the Glory of Heavens throne room will dissolve the darkness of that second heaven. Satan was already a defeated foe to Christians when Jesus died on the cross. Without Jesus, a human being can not see these blessings that are being poured out in our lives daily.
One of the earnest desire of our Almighty God the Father thru Jesus and the Holy Spirit ( Godhead) is to provide us with this "Open Heaven" Blessings. When I was still a Baby Christian, this is one of the concepts of the Bible that piqued my curiosity about the validity of Christian life, God and His kingdom. The particular pastor that God used to feed me in those days preached this topic one day in our worship service. Since that day, a spiritual hunger had developed within me to find out more what are the riches of Heaven that our God the Father want to pour on us every single day. Until today, there is not enough words to describe these riches that are available to the Body of Christ.
The simplest way to describe this kind of lifestyle is - a Heavens Throne room treasures that are actually being poured out on us - "360" degrees "open doors" flowing with these blessings to us. Our spiritual eyes and senses can see these clearly and sometimes they are too much to discern which ones are best for us at a particular time and season in our lives with the Lord. This scripture below describes that portal to a certain degree.
Malachi 3:10 ESV
Bring the full tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. And thereby put me to the test, says the Lord of hosts, if I will not open the windows of heaven for you and pour down for you a blessing until there is no more need.
This is the reason that the gift of Generosity is an indication of the indwelling of the Lords life within you because you will feel that you have so much already and your tendency is to give it all away because you feel no need or lack in your life. Apostle Jude described a beautiful description of the higher meaning of Open Heaven Blessings - beyond the physical glorious blessings. What is interesting is the book of Jude is the one before the book of Revelations which describes most of our heavenly inheritance in Christ - most especially Christ glorious Reign on earth.
Jude 24-25 ( NIV)
Doxology
24 To him who is able to keep you from stumbling and to present you before his glorious presence without fault and with great joy 25 to the only God our Savior be glory, majesty, power and authority, through Jesus Christ our Lord, before all ages, now and forevermore! Amen.
Father God, on this special day that you have blessed America with the reversal of legalized abortion on this nation, we claim the " Open Heaven" Blessings to this nation, to Israel and all nations of the world until your Reign on Earth. I/we believe and receive all of these in your most holy name Jesus! Amen!
Romans 12:2 ESV
Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.
The Bible has many teachings about the concept of Christ followers being "Set apart from this world" to be effective salt and light of our world. John the apostle has a very good example:
1 John 2:15-17 ESV
Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world—the desires of the flesh and the desires of the eyes and pride in possessions—is not from the Father but is from the world. And the world is passing away along with its desires, but whoever does the will of God abides forever.
This is a very delicate walk of a believer being still a part of our fallen world. Thats is why we need to be intentional in walking our position of "authority and power" as sons and daughters of our Living Almighty God the Father. The prince of darkness is constantly lurking trying to find a crack in our "armor of God" to plant his lies and wiles. He will use anything and anyone to convince you to loose your testimony in Christ. Worship leaders has a tagline in their worship services - "satan is a liar" because he is the ultimate professional when it comes to lies and wiles. The higher is your calling the bigger is your battle with satan. He is a defeated foe so watch him loose all the time when he attacks you.
Being the "salt and light" of the world, the Anointing on you and upon you - In the spirit realm, at the moment of our salvation until we join Him, the Lord will start placing a specific spiritual army on us based on our calling and faithfulness to what you are destined to do. This army will work with you i.e. angels, saints and fathers of the faith etc. This will be like a spiritual cloud or magnet around you that will build up to the quality and quantity of Heavens standards as you faithfully live out your life ministry. Alliances with people, situations etc that are not lined up with your destiny in Christ will be removed from your life. Your spirit man/woman will hunger for information from the Holy Throne of God and and from Christian Leaders, biblical resources lined up to your ministry. This is not your own doing anymore but the Lord as you become a part of His Bride/Army (church). This is one reason that it is very dangerous to do anything malicious or evil to servants of God. People who do not understand this spiritual law will actually hurt themselves when they persecute Christians (intentional or unintentional). Any efforts by the state and church that is not grounded on spirit led prayers will not prevail in what they are trying to do for the Bride of Christ because of our spiritual nature. I have watched this happened in real life many times when I was an elder of the Christian Ministry where the Lord ordained the call in my life.
Deuteronomy 4:24 ESV
For the Lord your God is a consuming fire, a jealous God.
Revelation 12:11 ESV
And they have conquered him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, for they loved not their lives even unto death.
1 Corinthians 15:57 ESV
But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
1 John 5:4 ESV
For everyone who has been born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith.
The gift of discernment and God's wisdom will make you know what is from God and what is from the evil one. As we are entering this new Kingdom Era, the evil one will continue to throw more lies and wiles to us and we have to constantly keep him under our feet with this message - You are finished ...In Jesus Name! Hallelujah!.
Father God, I/we Praise and Thank you as always for our crown of victory in your son Jesus. It is only in Him and thru Him that we can live our full inheritance of your Kingdom. To you alone belong all the Praise, the Glory and Thanksgiving in every moment of our lives. All of this I/we believe and receive in your most holy name Lord Jesus! Amen!
Acts 1:8 ESV
But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.”
Ephesians 1:19 ESV
And what is the immeasurable greatness of his power toward us who believe, according to the working of his great might.
Many years ago, the Lord showed me in the spirit that the reason why America became a superpower is its Christian churches. Our Constitution and our Nation was founded by European settlers who were seeking religious freedom. It is the freedom from Heaven's Throne that they found in this nation and propelled the greatness of our country. For about fifty years, the enemy tried to shut that down with radical agenda in our government and society including Roe vs Wade. It is now being reversed and we will see the biggest move of God in this nation propelling Israel and the Christian church worldwide to a Revival and Reformation that we have not seen yet in our civilization.
Next to pride or jealousy - "religious" spirits are the biggest threat to the Body of Christ. This is the spirit that causes "church splits" and prevents the Holy Spirit to move freely among God's people. The first church that the Lord brought me was on the verge of having a church split when I was about to become an elder of that ministry. The pharisees and saduces fell into this trap in the old and new testament and it is very easy to get this if we do not read the scriptures and spend time with the Lord daily. Religious spirits drove our founding fathers from Europe to courageously face adversities of traveling to America and found the New World.
Revelation 2:2 ESV
“‘I know your works, your toil and your patient endurance, and how you cannot bear with those who are evil, but have tested those who call themselves apostles and are not, and found them to be false.
1 John 4:1 ESV
Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, for many false prophets have gone out into the world.
The Christian church of this nation is the bedrock of the greatness of this nation especially its Remnant Church Leaders. Aside from the Catholic Church, the Evangelical and Pentecostal churches of this nation had been so faithful in partnering with Israel as a fortress to the Body of Christ. These are only -some of the popular online portals/networks of these churches of our country that are almost hidden from the mainstream media:
TBN - based in Santa Ana California and Texas
DAYSTAR - Texas
VICTORY - Texas
All of these I/we believe and receive in your most precious name Jesus! Amen!
Matthew 28:18-20 ESV
And Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”
Ephesians 1:19 ESV
And what is the immeasurable greatness of his power toward us who believe, according to the working of his great might
2 Corinthians 12:9 ESV
But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me.
During Christian praise and worship services, the name and the power of Jesus as God the Son is almost always evoked thru prayers and songs of adoration to the King of Kings and Lord of Lords. In very mature Christian churches, the centrality of their services is always giving honor and glory alone to the Lord.
When Jesus lived and walked His life ministry in the streets of Jerusalem/Israel, He was constantly engaging the prince of this world by exercising His authority and power thru healings and miracles. From His first miracle of turning water into wine, raising Lazarus from death, making the lame walk, etc., every word that He speaks brings in the power and authority of Heaven in the manifestation of the Holy Spirit. Jesus was always operating in full surrender/unity with God the Father. Some scriptures below illustrates this:
John 14:6 ESV
Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.
John 10:30 ESV
I and the Father are one.”
Jesus Calls Peter and Andrew- Matthew 4_18-20 NIV
18 Jesus was walking by the Sea of Galilee. He saw two brothers. They were Simon (his other name was Peter) and Andrew, his brother. They were putting a net into the sea for they were fishermen. 19 Jesus said to them, “Follow Me. I will make you fish for men!” 20 At once they left their nets and followed Him.
As redeemed and saved son's and daughters of our Almighty Father - the authority and power of Jesus and His name is our birthright and inheritance. Much more so if you are born to a home and family/lineage who are called and devoted in serving the Kingdom of God. All of us are from the lineage of Adam to Abraham etc but in the course of the development of our civilization, many have become pagans and worshipped other gods until today.
In our secular world these days, we are going against our individual and collectively purpose and destiny in life. I see this happen over and over again - almost always in my daily interactions with people. The increasing lawlessness in. our society going against our nature as creation of our Loving, Holy and Righteous Father who made us in His image and likeness. In addition to this - Artificial Intelligence is controlling most of our lives, especially in very developed nations. When your spiritual eyes are trained by the Lord to see things from Heavens perspective, what you will see in front of you is actually counterculture to the truth/s of Heavens Throne Room. The carnal world (the world ruled by the prince of darkness) is always about competition instead of humility to the Godhead (full surrender to the Lordship of God the Father, Jesus and Holy Spirit). From our workplace to the marketplace into the entertainment industry etc, - adversarial concepts seems to give us the highs and lows of our satisfaction. The metadata that is being used by most, if not all - artificial intelligence are programmed by people who do not have a precise and accurate understanding of God's world. So here we are being controlled by these AI - like human robots.
My hope for the coming age is for our leaders and big influencers of our church and state to take these seriously when governing our people. Climate change is the accurate side effect of all of these - if we have to look at these from the eyes of God Almighty. A good analogy to use is how a combustion engine car powered by gasoline or diesel is substituted with kerosene or something else. That car will not work and worse yet it will die. Because of our tripartite nature (a spirit with a soul in a physical body) we kinda lucked out because even if our spirit is disconnected with our creator, our soul and physical body continue to function. So, from the standpoint of Heavens realities most people are "walking dead" - dead spiritually without Jesus. Our planet and universe was created by a Holy and Divine being and for it to be powered or controlled by something else will always be counterproductive to us as a civilization.
Father God, Praise and Thank you for these words and revelations you gave us today. May your name alone be magnified and glorifies in al that we do as we continue to enter this Kingdom era.
All of these, I/we ask and believe in your most precious name Jesus! Amen!
Matthew 5:48 ESV
You therefore must be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect.
1 John 3:6-10 ESV
No one who abides in him keeps on sinning; no one who keeps on sinning has either seen him or known him. Little children, let no one deceive you. Whoever practices righteousness is righteous, as he is righteous. Whoever makes a practice of sinning is of the devil, for the devil has been sinning from the beginning. The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the works of the devil. No one born of God makes a practice of sinning, for God's seed abides in him, and he cannot keep on sinning because he has been born of God. By this it is evident who are the children of God, and who are the children of the devil: whoever does not practice righteousness is not of God, nor is the one who does not love his brother.
Romans 6:23 ESV
For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
More scriptures on "Sin" - https://www.openbible.info/topics/sin
SIN in simple terms is like "Pollution" within us that brings in the forces of satan ( demons) around us and within us.The lies and wiles of satan are sometimes mimicking whispers and spirits of God that if we are not accurately tuned in to the heart of the Lord we are sort of in " La La" land as a believer.
The primary platform of Christianity is that man is tripartite in nature - primarily a spirit that will continue to exist until eternity ( heaven or hell) - with a soul within a physical body (1 Thessalonians 5:23) At the moment of our salvation in Christ ( The Holy Spirit of God thru Jesus starts to live in us) our spiritual eyes are opened up and will continue to see life from the spiritual dimension. That is the Kingdom of God ( Third Heaven) and its army (angels and saints) and the kingdom of satan (demons- Second Heaven) Hell and the "Pit" ( lowest plane below earth )
At this time in our life, we will start to experience and learn how that world operates and will be taught by the Lord how to move with Him in that world. "SIN" (Pollution in our Lives) if we are moving in the right path with the Lord are sometimes instantly cleaned up from our being ( spirit, soul and body) Most of the times, these spirits will continue to try to come back within us or around us. It is important that a church covering ( individual and collectively) is above us - however the Lord will provide that to you as you pray for it. At its best - the Lord Jesus constant fellowship ( fullness of Him in you and you in Him) with you is our goal.
The TEN Commandments is the first set of laws given to us and our guide although from a spiritual dimension, sin starts within the senses of our spirit man/woman when we are not walking closely with the Lord. Feeding our spirit man/woman with the word of God every moment you can manage and learning from faith leaders whose ministry calling is lined with your anointing is best for us. Daily confessions and repentance before going to bed and before starting our day will restore our hearts into a right standing with our Holy and Righteous God.
Sin if you have the spiritual eyes to see it coming to you - is actually just like a dust in your laptop screen that you can just blow away with your breath. Thats power that the Lord can impart to each and every believer of God Almighty in Christ.
All of these I/we believe and receive in your most precious name Jesus! Amen!
James 5:13 ESV
Is anyone among you suffering? Let him pray. Is anyone cheerful? Let him sing praise.
One of the best blessings that the Christian Life will enrich a believer is the virtue to Praise and Thank the Lord in whatever situation they are in. The number one enemy of believers (satan and his army's) primary agenda is to lie and steal our inheritance in Jesus Christ - most especially the Lords Peace and Joy ( a couple of the fruits of the Holy Spirit). When a believer can consistently live a life in the fullness of Christ, the Holy Spirit of the Lord will be the primary engine that will drive that persons - spirit, soul and body. When this is attained, no matter what the situation is, that person will always have the Lords Praise and Thanksgiving singing in her/his heart and mind.
King David was known for this in the book of Psalms : Let Everything Praise the Lord : Psalm 150
1 Praise the Lord!
Praise God in his sanctuary;
praise him in his mighty heavens!
2 Praise him for his mighty deeds;
praise him according to his excellent greatness!
3 Praise him with trumpet sound;
praise him with lute and harp!
4 Praise him with tambourine and dance;
praise him with strings and pipe!
5 Praise him with sounding cymbals;
praise him with loud clashing cymbals!
6 Let everything that has breath praise the Lord!
A Psalm for giving Thanks: Psalm 100:1-5 ESV
Make a joyful noise to the Lord, all the earth! Serve the Lord with gladness! Come into his presence with singing! Know that the Lord, he is God! It is he who made us, and we are his; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture. Enter his gates with thanksgiving, and his courts with praise! Give thanks to him; bless his name! For the Lord is good; his steadfast love endures forever, and his faithfulness to all generations.
Constant Praise and Thanksgiving will become a habit to a believer when they wake up until they go to bed and becomes one with their highest weapon against the evil one - Praying in tongues.
1 Corinthians 14:4 ESV
The one who speaks in a tongue builds up himself, but the one who prophesies builds up the church.
All of these I/We pray and ask in your most precious name Jesus! Amen!
Deuteronomy 28:7 ESV
“The Lord will cause your enemies who rise against you to be defeated before you. They shall come out against you one way and flee before you seven ways.
2 Corinthians 10:4 ESV
For the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh but have divine power to destroy strongholds.
1 John 5:4-5 ESV
For everyone who has been born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith. Who is it that overcomes the world except the one who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?
2 Corinthians 11:14 ESV
And no wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light.
Once we become a follower of Christ - there will be a particular cycle in our Spiritual lives that will be obvious to us - because of our Spiritual Nature. Just like a woman going thru pregnancy until the birth of the baby in the physical nature, our life in Christ goes thru this kind of routine from time to time. The cycle of our Faith in the Godhead thru Jesus, Sacrifice of persevering the walk where the Lord Jesus is actually carrying us since the beginning of time until we join Him, Spiritual Warfare with satan and his army because he can see the big Blessings that is coming our/your way at the end of this cycle.
In this new Kingdom Era that we are entering which started in year 2020, our number one adversary is increasing his strategies because the spiritual atmosphere around us - first, second and third heaven is now shifting towards God's Kingdom rule on earth. Our spiritual battles will become more intense as we move closer to Jesus rapture of His Bride.
At times when you feel like satan has got you down and your enemies are having a ball for getting you down - REJOICE!!!
and ask for that "Special Blessing/s" that is coming your way. This is the primary reason why you are attacked by the devil and him thinking and partying he got you down??? Satan our/your defeated foe at the cross is the biggest loser in our universe. His ways and antics are just that - typical of the number one loser whose Destiny is the most painful place of our universe - Hell.
One thing that we have to remember when we are going thru this cycle is that - you always have the crown of Life and Victory of Heavens Throne for receiving the Lord Jesus as our one and only Savior and Lord, then keeping that faith. The people who are being used by the adversary to attack you "do not even have a clue of the mess" that they are in. In essence they are spiritually dumb and blind? You really don't want to be in their shoes and need to pray for these people no matter how powerful, sophisticated, elegant, intelligent and talented they look to you? They are literally "walking dead" on their way to the most painful side of eternity.
Father God, remind us always that as your redeemed Sons and Daughters, our spiritual battles are always a blessing to us more than anything else. Make the people in our society these days - see and hear you for who you are - God Almighty Father to us All.
All of these I/we believe and receive in your most precious name Jesus! Amen!
Psalm 105:15 ESV
“Touch not my anointed ones, do my prophets no harm!”
1 John 2:27 ESV
But the anointing that you received from him abides in you, and you have no need that anyone should teach you. But as his anointing teaches you about everything, and is true, and is no lie—just as it has taught you, abide in him.
Doing harm to people who are serving the Lord Jesus and His kingdom, most especially the ones that are called for a particular purpose in the Body of Christ is the most dangerous crime that humanity can do. I had seen this in the past decades blatantly being done to the Christian church and the consequences of these is what we are experiencing nowadays and in the future. It is not being done blatantly now but it is happening in the spirit realm using Artificial Intelligence etc.
One of the platforms advocated in this ministry is that creation (especially mankind) is tripartite in nature - again a spirit, with a soul and a human body. The most difficult aspect or dimension/nature of man- to understand is the spiritual realm because unless your are spiritually trained by the Lord, you can not see these stuff. Since we are primarily spiritual beings, everything that we see physically is actually dictated by Heavens Throne dynamics. What makes it even more difficult to understand are the three heavens of that spirit realm ( God's habitation - third heaven which is the highest realm, (satan and his army's planet )- second heaven and then the first heaven which is the airspace around us. The second heaven will dictate our physical world if our dedication to God Almighty will not be our goal as a humanity on a daily basis.
Jesus birth, His life ministry on earth, death, and resurrection gave us all the inheritance of the third heaven. Unfortunately- until today, humanity is still spiritually blind to what really goes on in our spirit realm that affects our minds, emotions, bodies etc, pretty much everything in our world. The biggest chunk of the national budget of almost all nations in the world is spent on defense and healthcare? It is like we are actually spending the most money on how to protect our nations from diseases and military attack or kill the people of other nations using guns/weapons and medications?
If we have to tie this up with the topic of touching God's anointed ones, when the Lord Jesus is the one living in that person or that person is living in Jesus Christ - doing harm to these people (including the remnant church) is like trying to kill someone with a gun's muzzle directed to your body? That bullet may not kill you on the spot, but the curses that will be upon you will last for generations until it is cancelled in the eyes of our Lord. It is that dangerous because the spiritual army assigned to God's servants is reciprocal in size and magnitude to the state of that persons heart and mind in relation to God's heart. I had written about this topic in the past and I am very concerned these days of the dreams and visions that I am picking up just before my prayer time. This is one of the revelations that the Lord showed and made me experience as a baby christian. We can not take this lightly and can not be gullible about this because this will make nations actually disappear from the map of planet earth when the leaders of those nations commit these crimes of Heaven. Our worldly assets are irrelevant to the plans and will of God for mankind whom he loves so much, unless we use them as worship offerings to build up His bride (Christ church). He created our universe and his agenda will prevail. Please research in the internet the civilizations in the past that had disappeared from our planet and you can always point it out to lawlessness against the heart and mind of God. The society of Corinth and the Great Roman Empire are good examples. These civilizations were excellent by human standards that were destroyed when the Anointing of the Holy Spirit movement came as it is chronicled in the Book of Acts. The Bible which accurately chronicles God's creation mentions these civilizations that do not exist anymore.
When the Godhead (God the Father,God the Son -Jesus, Holy Spirit) reveals to you daily- that He is such a Divine/perfect, Holy, Righteous etc. being, you are going to carry those experiences with you until eternity. The Church of Christ (individually and collectively) had always served the Lord reverently. It is when we try to serve Him our way instead of His ways using the Bible as our guide and our intimate relationship (individually and collectively) with Him - daily, that we will miss the blessings that are already ours from His glorious and holy Throne room.
Father God I/we praise and Thank you for this day and for this revelations for the Body of Christ. Continue to impart unto us your remnant church the fullness of your wisdom, knowledge and understanding as we await your glorious return to planet earth.
All of these I/we believe in your most holy name Jesus! Amen!
2 Corinthians 10:5 ESV
We destroy arguments and every lofty opinion raised against the knowledge of God, and take every thought captive to obey Christ,
1 Peter 1:13 ESV
Therefore, preparing your minds for action, and being sober-minded, set your hope fully on the grace that will be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ.
1 Corinthians 2:16 ESV
“For who has understood the mind of the Lord so as to instruct him?” But we have the mind of Christ.
As a follower of Christ, we become citizens of heaven at the moment of our salvation ( acceptance of Jesus into our life). If we continue to nurture that relationship with the Lord to go to a higher level each day, He will bring us to a place where every prayer we have to Him is answered and every thought/spirit that will come to our being and around us, the Lord Jesus will give us revelations what they are and what to do about it.
These are riches of Heaven that none of this world can compare or buy. These blessings can not be paid by money or any currency in this world other than our faith in our Lord Jesus. Faith in Christ as a currency of heaven - is one of our ultimate wealth as Daughters and Sons of the most High Almighty Living God. (Caution: the prince of this world will use people to steal this divine gift from you so if you are not in a spiritual battle daily, Christ is not in you! Thats the difference of the sons and daughters of our True and Living God as opposed to the followers of satan.) REJOICE !!! as always because when satan attacks you using people who are blinded by him, a great blessing will ALWAYS - unfold in your life
Indestructible and Unoffendable in Christ means - Christians are destined to live forever after physical death, in Heaven's throne with the Lord Jesus - a perfect and divine place and a complete opposite of our carnal world. We are not bound by the fallacies and riches of this world that is ruled by satan. A mind that knows and understand completely who Christ is as our Lord/Savior of this world and our oneness with Him here on earth as it is in heaven. A heart that is fully in tune and completely surrendered to the Lordship of Jesus in our lives on a day to day basis. This is the true meaning of HUMILITY as a follower of Jesus. Dead to the stuff of this world and alive to the things of the Spirit of God Almighty thru Jesus Christ. A tag line that mature churches use on this is - Lord ( God Almighty, Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit) I am nothing without you.
More revelations on this are on the scriptures below.
Romans 6:23 ESV
For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Revelation 3:21 ESV
The one who conquers, I will grant him to sit with me on my throne, as I also conquered and sat down with my Father on his throne.
1 John 3:2 ESV
Beloved, we are God's children now, and what we will be has not yet appeared; but we know that when he appears we shall be like him, because we shall see him as he is.
1 Corinthians 15:22 ESV
For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ shall all be made alive.
Revelation 21:7 ESV
The one who conquers will have this heritage, and I will be his God and he will be my son.
Revelation 20:4 ESV
Then I saw thrones, and seated on them were those to whom the authority to judge was committed. Also I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for the testimony of Jesus and for the word of God, and those who had not worshiped the beast or its image and had not received its mark on their foreheads or their hands. They came to life and reigned with Christ for a thousand years.
Revelation 5:10 ESV
And you have made them a kingdom and priests to our God, and they shall reign on the earth.”
Once we accept the Lord Jesus into our heart/life - we are like a light bulb that's being turned on in the spirit world. That light will become brighter each day based on our faithfulness in living and walking out our Identity in our Lord Jesus.
Jesus walk His divine authority and Identity seamless/flawlessly that for us Hs followers who continue to live in this carnal world - we can get entangled with the things of this world if we are not intentional in our hearts and minds.
Our patriarch of the faith (specifically Paul the Apostle indicated in these verses) was taught by the Lord Jesus several platforms that we can use to live out our faith daily and one of the is the ARMOR OF GOD ( Ephesians 6:10-18). This is a very solid mindset in fighting our spiritual battles daily
To apply this specifically in this specific season that the Church of Christ is in - the many cultural influences of other major religions that continue to refute the Lordship and Kingship of Jesus - Hinduism, radical Islam, Buddhism etc. - We as a church need to cast down this major demons and legions that's ruling in the spirit realm victoriously. The people who are being used as puppets by satan do not know the mess they are in and our prayer intercessions to these cultures will break these bondages in American and around the world. COVID 19 is that if you study closely the cultural influence of Hinduism in this country most especially in our human governments public and private. This is one of the number one culture who are persecuting Christians in their country but our big techs who are driving our wold economy is ruled by these people. Their hands and anointing are on the keyboards of most companies running our church and state. No malice intended but the Lord had placed this burden in my heart for several years. We are to rebuke this major demon completely from our society because they themselves do not know it. We will be doing them a huge favor for doing so.
Essentially - this armor will remind us in details what is our Identity in Christ is all about. As a warrior for the Lords Kingdom we are to wear all these gadgets daily to win our battles with Christ Victory that had already been won at the Cross. In Jesus most precious name! Amen!
The Armor of God
10 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. 11 Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. 12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. 13 Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. 14 Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, 15 and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. 16 In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. 17 Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. 18 And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people. 19 Pray also for me, that whenever I speak, words may be given me so that I will fearlessly make known the mystery of the gospel, 20 for which I am an ambassador in chains. Pray that I may declare it fearlessly, as I should.
Exodus 20:17 ESV
“You shall not covet your neighbor's house; you shall not covet your neighbor's wife, or his male servant, or his female servant, or his ox, or his donkey, or anything that is your neighbor's.”
Luke 12:15 ESV
And he said to them, “Take care, and be on your guard against all covetousness, for one's life does not consist in the abundance of his possessions.”
Hebrews 13:5 ESV
Keep your life free from love of money, and be content with what you have, for he has said, “I will never leave you nor forsake you.”
Freeing ourselves of all covetousness is one of the Ten Commandments revealed by God Almighty to Moses to help him lead God's people in the old testament times. Because of the carnal nature of our physical world and society, this is one spirit that the Lord Jesus will teach us how to handle while living our lives for Him. The carnal life is full of this and this is one of the reasons that makes people very unhappy, discontented and pursue other stuff apart from life with Christ on a day to day basis.
When Jesus starts to work in our lives (Him living in us and our life in Him), He will fill all the desires and emptiness that we have in our heart, mind and all of our being. El Shaddai is one of the Hebrew names of God Almighty thru Jesus, which means He is a God who is more than enough.
Philippians 4:19 ESV
And my God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.
2 Corinthians 9:8 ESV
And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that having all sufficiency in all things at all times, you may abound in every good work.
This is one of the spirit that drives people and nations to persecute Christians. They are unconsciously wanting to have the Holy Spirit of God Almighty, its gifts and fruits that are being deposited upon God's servants and leaders. Christian persecutors can be likened to the very popular parable of the Bible - "The Prodigal Son". The older son was faithful to His Father while the younger son took all of his inheritance and ran away with his life foolishly. He ultimately came to a point where he had became impoverished and had to take care and live with the pigs as his way of living. His father heard his life story and invited him back to reconcile his prodigal son to his kingdom. The harm that people do to themselves for persecuting Christians is very dangerous in the spirit realm - if they can only see the consequences of their actions. They are ignorant of the spiritual laws of the kingdom of God the Father our creator to their own disadvantage.
Ignorance of the Bible is literally ignorance of the ultimate Life giving force that makes our universe and members of our galaxy work together so that they will not collide with each other. That is Jesus himself our one and only Lord and Savior.
Ephesians 4:18 ESV
They are darkened in their understanding, alienated from the life of God because of the ignorance that is in them, due to their hardness of heart.
Acts 17:30 ESV
The times of ignorance God overlooked, but now he commands all people everywhere to repent,
Romans 6:23 ESV
For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
John 6:35 ESV
Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life; whoever comes to me shall not hunger, and whoever believes in me shall never thirst.
All of these I/we believe and receive in your most precious name Jesus ! Amen!
Acts 2:1-47 ESV
When the day of Pentecost arrived, they were all together in one place. And suddenly there came from heaven a sound like a mighty rushing wind, and it filled the entire house where they were sitting. And divided tongues as of fire appeared to them and rested on each one of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit gave them utterance. Now there were dwelling in Jerusalem Jews, devout men from every nation under heaven. ...
Revelation 3:5 ESV
The one who conquers will be clothed thus in white garments, and I will never blot his name out of the book of life. I will confess his name before my Father and before his angels.
Hebrews 4:15 ESV
For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who in every respect has been tempted as we are, yet without sin.
The scriptures above are only some of the "Open Heaven Blessings" that a believer can receive from Jesus. The whole Bible is an open heaven blessings from God the Father - most especially the New Testament books. The book of Revelations is the culmination of them all.
Before we receive the Lord Jesus sincerely in our heart to be our only Lord and Savior, we find our happiness and sense of fulfillment as a human being with the things of this world. Once Jesus, God the Father and the Holy Spirit becomes real to us, we will then start living our lives under an open heaven blessings. A new believer can live a life of one glory to another based on the church or community, or however the Lord will reveal Himself to that person. In my own life testimony as a Christian, I was taken to a church that manifested constant signs and wonders - from scriptures coming out alive to me personally, to miracles and healings as a normal in the Christian community that groomed my faith. As a believer at that time, I was mesmerized by all that I was experiencing and watching - yet my heart was still not fully tuned in and surrendered to our God. It took me two years to fully decide that I will commit my life to living my life for Jesus. Looking back, making our Lord Jesus, the King of all Kings and the Lord of Lords to wait two long years before I will tell Him that He will be my only Lord and Savior was humbling to me. To make the creator and the ruler of our universe wait that long before surrendering my life to Him - who Am I that He will even think of me- as the Psalmist says below:
Psalm 8:4 ESV
What is man that you are mindful of him, and the son of man that you care for him?
Nonetheless, the Lord was always with me/us in all of these times that we do not even care nor think of Him that much. The open heaven blessings that I had received since then, is beyond my understanding already until today. What is mind boggling is that the material blessings or worldly stuff that I had received since then - are only desserts or appetizers of this so called - open blessings of Heaven. True indeed that our God is forever loving and faithful inspite of our callous and stony hearts.
2 Thessalonians 3:3 ESV
But the Lord is faithful. He will establish you and guard you against the evil one.
Psalm 91:4 ESV
He will cover you with his pinions, and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness is a shield and buckler.
Deuteronomy 7:9 ESV
Know therefore that the Lord your God is God, the faithful God who keeps covenant and steadfast love with those who love him and keep his commandments, to a thousand generations,
2 Timothy 2:13 ESV
If we are faithless, he remains faithful— for he cannot deny himself.
Isaiah 25:1 ESV
O Lord, you are my God; I will exalt you; I will praise your name, for you have done wonderful things, plans formed of old, faithful and sure.
Proverbs 28:20 ESV
A faithful man will abound with blessings, but whoever hastens to be rich will not go unpunished.
All of these I/we ask in your most holy name Jesus! Amen!
2 Corinthians 5:17 ESV
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.
Galatians 2:20 ESV
I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.
1 Peter 2:9 ESV
But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for his own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light.
Ephesians 2:10 ESV
For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.
This topic is very popular these days and the constant political culture wars in our secular world can be confusing to sort out as to what is our real Identity as sons and daughters of our Almighty Father.
As Christ followers - we do not identify ourselves with our carnal world (Media, Hollywood - the secular) version of human identity (Self) but on our identity in Jesus Christ alone. This will free us from all the cares of the worlds systems and processes that is controlling most of our activities of daily living - driven by the forces of the second heaven (satan and his army).
Every human heart born into this planet has a tendency for "gaslighting", because of the fall of our first parents (Adam and Eve). This is the primary reason that we need the Lord Jesus as our one and only Lord and Savior. If we can accurately record the wickedness and darkness of our hearts and minds on a daily basis, it is a sickening movie to watch - that is if we have to keep in mind the glory and perfection of our eternal home (third heaven) the Holy Throne of God Almighty. Most of us are not even aware of this.
Isaiah 64:6 (NIV)
6 All of us have become like one who is unclean,
and all our righteous acts are like filthy rags;
we all shrivel up like a leaf,
and like the wind our sins sweep us away.
A daily examination and confession of what had transpired in our lives on a daily basis is important because of the imperfection of our world. The Lord Jesus had already won this battle for us at the cross - which means that only in Him and thru Him that we can live our lives of victory in everything that we go thru in our lives daily. We are in constant spiritual warfare in our minds and in. our hearts daily. Any information that we will allow that is not lined up with the heart and mind of God the Father Almighty will bring Heavens Blessings or the curses of Hell into our life.
The Whole Armor of God
10 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might. 11 Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil. 12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places. 13 Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand firm. 14 Stand therefore, having fastened on the belt of truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness, 15 and, as shoes for your feet, having put on the readiness given by the gospel of peace. 16 In all circumstances take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming darts of the evil one; 17 and take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God, 18 praying at all times in the Spirit, with all prayer and supplication. To that end, keep alert with all perseverance, making supplication for all the saints,
All of these I/we believe and receive in your most holy name Jesus! Amen!
John 14:1 ESV
“Let not your hearts be troubled. Believe in God; believe also in me.
Jeremiah 17:7-8 ESV
“Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, whose trust is the Lord. He is like a tree planted by water, that sends out its roots by the stream, and does not fear when heat comes, for its leaves remain green, and is not anxious in the year of drought, for it does not cease to bear fruit.”
Isaiah 26:3 ESV
You keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on you, because he trusts in you.
Jesus as a leader is still beyond our full comprehension if we have to look at this subject from our ultimate nature - a spiritual being because of His perfection. Looking at the big picture of how he was exercising His authority and power as the son of God (perfect, divine, sinless) yet a human being- leading His flock on earth, we can see two aspects of Him. One is that of a human being (got thirsty at the cross, ate and drunk at the last supper etc) and then His divinity - the ability to restore people to wholeness thru miracles etc, and most importantly by raising Himself back to life.
The most accurate word that I can use of Jesus as a leader is "Humble" - in the standards of Heavens Throne room dynamics. Our society's concept of Christian humility is meekness - yet Jesus as a humble leader has no trace of inferiority, malice, arrogance, superiority etc - symptoms of a human heart not fully yielded to Father God. He was God the Son on earth, yet fully surrendered to His heavenly fathers desires and purpose of coming to earth. You can read His prayers to His Dad about these in (John 17) " The High Priestly Prayer of Jesus". Biblical "humility" is a heart who trust and is constantly dependent on God Almighty thru Jesus. The heart of that servant of God is possessed by the Holy Spirit that he/she does not have His own desires anymore but the will and plan of Godhead.
Another word that I can use to describe Jesus as a leader is "Holy and Righteous". God the Father is a that (Holy and Righteous) and people who are called to lead Christ church are supernaturally imparted with this kind of anointing. Jesus as He think and speaks, brings them to physical life - his very own prophecy of his death and resurrection as a good example. Very mature and anointed leaders of the Christian church are that powerful in heavens standards. Because of the Holy and Righteous anointing that is gifted to them, their words, thoughts, actions are that of the Lord according to the degree of calling that they are purposely handpicked by God. This is one of the supernatural manifestations that convinced me the validity, then ultimately the glorious inheritance of the Christian faith. The Ministry Leader of the community where the Lord groomed me was speaking a bible verse and as he was speaking the scripture, I visualized the words coming out from his mouth going towards me. That piqued my curiosity and more.
Jesus was also a selfless leader. He poured out himself into the (12) twelve disciples that He called to follow Him. These disciples were instruments in spreading the Gospel to many parts of the world to this day. Of the twelve - He had an inner circle (John, Peter and James) that He was very close to - than the rest, who became very gifted as you read the New Testament books that they had written.
He is an ultimate example of a Leader in our civilization that He alone had attained according to the standards of Heavens Throne Room. His leadership style sets Christianity apart from all other belief systems and religions. He restores sinners to wholeness and never judged or condemn them which is a complete opposite of how our carnal world treat sinners.
John 8:3-11 ESV
The scribes and the Pharisees brought a woman who had been caught in adultery, and placing her in the midst they said to him, “Teacher, this woman has been caught in the act of adultery. Now in the Law Moses commanded us to stone such women. So what do you say?” This they said to test him, that they might have some charge to bring against him. Jesus bent down and wrote with his finger on the ground. And as they continued to ask him, he stood up and said to them, “Let him who is without sin among you be the first to throw a stone at her.” ...
All of these we/I believe and receive in your most precious name Jesus! Amen!
Philippians 3:20-21 ESV
But our citizenship is in heaven, and from it we await a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, who will transform our lowly body to be like his glorious body, by the power that enables him even to subject all things to himself.
Isaiah 61:10 ESV
I will greatly rejoice in the Lord; my soul shall exult in my God, for he has clothed me with the garments of salvation; he has covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decks himself like a priest with a beautiful headdress, and as a bride adorns herself with her jewels.
1 Corinthians 15:40 ESV
There are heavenly bodies and earthly bodies, but the glory of the heavenly is of one kind, and the glory of the earthly is of another.
Our Heavenly garment or bodies is a topic that not many Christian churches discuss extensively and how it relates to the way how we live our lives while we are still here on planet earth. It is because the Bible - mostly the New Testament books offers glimpses (only) about this topic. As I had mentioned in the past - the Body of Christ is still in grade school or maybe high school in its understanding and practice of the faith. This means that we have not really reaped the beauty and the benefits of the glorious riches of the faith. The beautiful arts and architecture of the past to present somewhat reflects the glory of our eternal home but these days, we have drifted away from that birthright we have in Christ. Jesus transfiguration is one description of our heavenly body.
To simply describe our heavenly garment, it will be our "spiritual body" while we are still here on earth and then at the Throne room of God Almighty at our physical death. This is the sum total of all that we have done with our lives from birth until now and everything we have done when we leave earth - in eternity (Heaven/Hell). This is also tied up to the purpose and destiny that the Lord had created us as a human being. In the Third Heaven, our spiritual bodies are manifested without error, in divine perfection - devoid of malice (i.e. envy, jealousy etc ) and in perfect harmony with the glory of Godhead. It is only thru our Salvation in our Lord Jesus Christ (Philippians 3:20-21)and then nurturing that new life we have in Him that we will attain that heavenly garment that is already set for us before the foundation of the world. Our patriarch Prophet - Daniel (of the Old Testament) saw this in the spirit and prophesied on what was yet to come that Jesus fulfilled when He came to earth.
Daniel 12:2-3 ESV
2 And many of those who sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt. 3 And those who are wise shall shine like the brightness of the sky above;[a] and those who turn many to righteousness, like the stars forever and ever.
Our very short time while we are still in planet earth, it will be to our best interest - if we will take the time to find out what is the purpose and the destiny that is set for us before we were even born into this world. Our purpose and destiny in eternity (Individually and Collectively) are two different topics that I will write about in the days to come.
Father God, In this New Kingdom Era that we are now living - continue to ordain and order our steps daily as we live our lives to bring glory to you alone.
All of these I/We believe and receive in your most precious name Jesus, Amen!
Acts 2:38 ESV
And Peter said to them, “Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.
1 John 1:9 ESV
If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
2 Corinthians 7:10 ESV
For godly grief produces a repentance that leads to salvation without regret, whereas worldly grief produces death.
A human heart that is so deadened to the things of the Kingdom of God is literally numb and can not see, hear, understand, etc ( (our five spiritual senses) the world of the Lord Jesus - accurately. That heart would be as hard as the bricks of the gates of Hell that it will find a way to sustain its numbness by pointing its fingers on something else as its spiritual band aid. To recall the fall of our first parents - Adam and Eve eating the forbidden fruit and how they blamed the other for doing it? The human heart has that inherent tendency already to lie and hide its wrongdoing. More so when a heart is already possessed by the prince of this world, it can not see itself as a broken human being capable to make a mistake/s. It will always give praise or credit to his/her own ability to do great and mighty things in this world instead of giving praise, thanksgiving and glory to the Almighty God alone. In our walk with the Lord, we will come to a point where we are nothing without Him, we become fully dependent on the presence of His fullness within us and thru us. We are just a tiny dot in the universe of God so we can not claim such great and mighty stuff based on our doing and treasures. There is nothing in our world that man had created? Everything that mankind had made or achieved can always be traced back to God's creations and provisions - i.e. our human bodies and everything in it, water, soil, plants etc.
Isaiah 40:22 ESV
It is he who sits above the circle of the earth, and its inhabitants are like grasshoppers; who stretches out the heavens like a curtain, and spreads them like a tent to dwell in;
The spirits of Remorse, Repentance and Forgiveness are very important values that will keep our heart and mind lined up with the Lord and His kingdom. The Lord Jesus indicated this in the prayer that He left us - Lords Prayer
Matthew 6:12 -
12 and forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors.
It is very important to learn and practice these values daily as a human being especially as a follower of Christ because of our very fallen nature. These are like magnifying glass that will examine the status of our hearts and mind in relation to the Lords.
One of our great inheritance in Christ and thru Christ is the gift/s of the Holy Spirit. One pastor calls this as Jesus "unlimited". When our life is restored with the Lord's heart, we will start to learn and experience the heart and mind of God the Father thru Jesus in the form of revelations that the Holy Spirit will impart unto us. If we are intentionally living our life for the Lord daily, the impartations and revelations from heaven will also increase towards the ultimate truth and realities of God's Kingdom. These are true riches of heaven that are priceless in worldly standards.
John 14:26 ESV
But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things and bring to your remembrance all that I have said to you.
Remorse, Repentance and Forgiveness and spiritual keys that will unlock the gifts of the Holy Spirit within us.
All of these I/we believe and I/we receive in your most precious name Jesus! Amen!
John 1:1 ESV
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
Ephesians 6:17 ESV
And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God,
Hebrews 4:12 ESV
For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart.
Matthew 24:35 ESV
Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away.
Next to the Holy Spirit of the Lord, the words of the Holy Book is the guiding force of the Body of Christ. Christian Praise and Worship services revolves around singing and giving Praise, Honor and Thanksgiving to the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords using the scriptures.
The contents of the Holy Book were imparted to our biblical patriarchs who were handpicked by God and were chosen vessels to speak for our God Almighty thru Jesus. They were people who had very intimate relationship with the Lord and the words that had came thru them and recorded in the Bible are basically God speaking to us using them as His mouthpiece.
The power of the scriptures had been passed on from the beginning of time until today in the Body of Christ. They had been tested of their validity for all this time. The words in the Bible (in ink) is the Holy Spirit of God that will come alive to us when we experience the Lord in our heart, mind and more, as we read and meditate on them. The scriptures is God himself as spoken words thru Jesus.
2 Timothy 3:16-17 ESV
All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be competent, equipped for every good work.
John 6:63 ESV
It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh is no help at all. The words that I have spoken to you are spirit and life.
Psalm 119:105 ESV
Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.
All of these I/we believe and receive in your most precious name Jesu! Amen!
Revelation 21:11 ESV
Having the glory of God, its radiance like a most rare jewel, like a jasper, clear as crystal.
Hebrews 1:3 ESV
He is the radiance of the glory of God and the exact imprint of his nature, and he upholds the universe by the word of his power. After making purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high,
Romans 11:36 ESV
For from him and through him and to him are all things. To him be glory forever. Amen.
Ideally, as a follower of Jesus - our lives is constantly lined up with the hierarchy of heavens Portal of Glory and the Lords Kingdom(inhabitants and culture/climate). The more we become aware of this daily, the better it will be for us. Our Faithful God is always fulfilling His role but it is always us who is missing the mark? (metaphor).
When we live our lives apart from the destiny and purpose of God, we can block the open heaven blessings from the third heaven for a specific community/location, entity/person etc? This is one revelation that I saw in the spirit when this Jesus Movement that we are now entering as a civilization started.
Our first parents - Adam and Eve when they were placed by our Almighty Father at the Garden of Eden, they were living under the Portal of God/Heaven and clothed with the Glory of God. At the very moment they sinned, God's glory left them and they were forced to cover themselves with the materials from nature around them. The domino effect of that first sin, created the kind of civilization that we now have, mostly a life in bondage to satan's deceptive lies about life because of our ignorance to our true inheritance as sons and daughters of our Living God. The Bible has all the information about this. More than two thousand years ago, Father God sent Jesus, a God made man (made like us) in order to redeem and save us so that we will be restored to God's original plan but we continue to reject that.
The kind of life that are lined up with the Portal of God's Kingdom and its glory are being lived by the faithful and mature servants of the Lord -in the past to present. These Christian Ministries, Servants and Leaders - obviously, can not be found in Hollywood, Netflix and other mainstream information outlets (the world).
As a follower of Christ, the first mandate that the Lord Jesus gave us is to "seek and save the lost" which is also lined up with God's first commandment. Pls see underlined words on the scriptures below:
Matthew 9:9-13 ESV
Jesus Calls Matthew
9 As Jesus passed on from there, he saw a man called Matthew sitting at the tax booth, and he said to him, “Follow me.” And he rose and followed him. 10 And as Jesus[a] reclined at table in the house, behold, many tax collectors and sinners came and were reclining with Jesus and his disciples. 11 And when the Pharisees saw this, they said to his disciples, “Why does your teacher eat with tax collectors and sinners?” 12 But when he heard it, he said, “Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick. 13 Go and learn what this means: ‘I desire mercy, and not sacrifice.’ For I came not to call the righteous, but sinners.”
The world around us (maybe 2/3 of world population) had heard the Gospel, many are living the Christian life but the forces of the world ruled by the Prince of darkness primarily coming from the Second Heaven (satan and his army habitation) can be too much to sort out, so that we can faithfully live out our faith. This means an intentional effort to live the Life that Jesus asked of us to live.
Matthew 10:38-39 ESV
38 And whoever does not take his cross and follow me is not worthy of me. 39 Whoever finds his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for my sake will find it.
Servants of God who had lived the passage above as their platform for their lifestyle are blessed with an "Open Heaven Blessings" - as some kind of a dessert or appetizer only to their main course in Life which is - Introducing/Salvation/Evangelization and Shepherding the flock of the Lord. One of my sisters was blessed with this kind of life. Our Christian Community has many of them also (here and abroad). Jesus live this kind of life as he himself spoke these words to His Father. The healing, miracles and more that the Lord did while He was still on earth are the testaments of Heaven's Open blessings in His life.
John 17:4-5 ESV
I glorified you on earth, having accomplished the work that you gave me to do. And now, Father, glorify me in your own presence with the glory that I had with you before the world existed.
This Kingdom Era that we are now entering is the fruits of the labor of the Saints of God in the past. The Body of Christ had gone thru the Salvation Era (spread of Gospel to the nations), then into the Priestly Era (Christian Ministries worldwide) and now we will be exercising and reaping the Kingdom Era as a Body of Christ. This will become more and more evident in the future.
The above are only a few of what it is to live a life with Jesus from one Glory to another.
All of these I/we believe and receive in your most precious name Jesus! Amen!
John 11:25-26 ESV
Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live, and everyone who lives and believes in me shall never die. Do you believe this?”
1 Thessalonians 4:14 ESV
For since we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so, through Jesus, God will bring with him those who have fallen asleep.
Acts 4:33 ESV
And with great power the apostles were giving their testimony to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus, and great grace was upon them all.
What the Lord did for 40 days after He rose from HIs grave, before going back to His Dad in the third heaven gives us so much revelations of His perfection and divinity. Everything that Jesus did in His Life ministry on earth was supernatural and what He did after Easter Sunday was even greater to all the works that He did before His death. Some of the List are below:
This new Jesus Movement Era that we are entering is similar in culture and climate to a certain extent. The culture and climate of the third heaven that will eventually be here on earth is still beyond our comprehension/understanding at this time. This new era is a territory that the Bride of Christ had not walked because it will be filled with the Glory of the Godhead and empowered by the Holy Spirit - constantly.
We need to steward this movement at its highest spiritual dimension, to break the yokes and dismantle the strongholds in our civilization controlled by satan and his army in the second heaven so that the Lords Authority and Power will manifest in our world.
All of these I/we believe and receive in your most precious name Jesus! Amen!
The Beatitudes is Jesus Introduction message to His Sermon at the Mount of Olives. His sermon is the first extensive teachings of the Lord and they cover very important areas of Christian Life. It started from being the Salt and Light of the world ending at how our home (individually/collectively, spirit, soul and body) should be built. The Beatitudes is like the "prologue" of His sermon at that mountain. What is obvious in His words on these passages is that the Lord tried to build up the "poverty" of the spirit man of the people who were gathered around Him before teaching them more about Christian Living. The list are as follows and scripture references are below (after this discussion).
Poverty in spirit (innocence/purity in a persons heart like the heart of a child) will give us the Kingdom of Heaven.
Jesus will always comfort us in times of sorrow/mourning and He is always with us in Blessings and Persecutions.
Meekness/simplicity in life will make us enjoy the beauty of planet earth and His universe.
Jesus will give us a hunger and thirst for His righteousness and He alone can fill them within us.
He will give us the gift of Mercy that we in turn will give to the people around us.
When our spirit man is born again in Him (Pentecost experience with the Lord) Jesus purifies our heart and we will start seeing how the Kingdom of God Almighty works.
Jesus will give us the gift of Peace that surpasses all understanding which will overflow into the people around us.
We will be rewarded greatly in Heaven when we stand up for Christ and are being persecuted for the sake of Jesus and His kingdom. He himself and the prophets before Him/us went thru these - yet at the Holy Throne Room of God, these are the people populating the Royal government of God Almighty in the third heaven
Father God, Praise and Thank you for these Blessings that you gave us today as we are entering this years Lent Season into the Easter Season - culminating in your Ressurecion at the Cross on Easter Sunday.
All of these I/we believe and receive in your most holy name Jesus! Amen!

Matthew 5:1-12
1 Now when Jesus saw the crowds, he went up on a mountainside and sat down. His disciples came to him, 2 and he began to teach them.
The Beatitudes
He said:
3 “Blessed are the poor in spirit,
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
4 Blessed are those who mourn,
for they will be comforted.
5 Blessed are the meek,
for they will inherit the earth.
6 Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness,
for they will be filled.
7 Blessed are the merciful,
for they will be shown mercy.
8 Blessed are the pure in heart,
for they will see God.
9 Blessed are the peacemakers,
for they will be called children of God.
10 Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness,
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
11 “Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me. 12 Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.
Matthew 3:17 ESV
And behold, a voice from heaven said, “This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased.”
John 3:16 ESV
“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.
Matthew 16:16 ESV
Simon Peter replied, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.”
The validity of Jesus being the Son of God and one of the three persons of the Trinity of God (Godhead) is without error based on the scriptures that are recorded in the Holy Book. These words that proved this truth were either spoken by God the Father Himself (above- Matthew 3:16, Jesus Himself (verse below) or by the disciples/people(above Matthew 16:16) who were following Him during His life ministry on earth.
Matthew 11:27
All things have been handed over to me by my Father, and no one knows the Son except the Father, and no one knows the Father except the Son and anyone to whom the Son chooses to reveal him.
There's so many of these scriptures - mostly in the New Testament that indicates Jesus as God the Son and one with Father God Almighty. Each of the scriptures verifies and interprets each other. This is one of the living proof that Christianity is the true beginning of Mankind. Below are just some of these living words of the Lord being the Son of God.
Jesus resurrection (died on the cross, brought himself back to life, then went back to heaven)- Revelation 1:18 ESV "And the living one. I died, and behold I am alive forevermore, and I have the keys of Death and Hades".
Jesus as one with God the Father - John 10:30 ESV "I and the Father are one.”
Jesus as our "one and only Savior" - John 14:6 ESV Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.
Jesus as God Son by the power of His body and blood - John 6:53 ESV - So Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you".
Jesus as the life that holds the world together - John 6:51 ESV "I am the living bread that came down from heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever. And the bread that I will give for the life of the world is my flesh.”
All of these I/we believe in your most holy name Jesus! Amen!
Matthew 12:36-37 ESV
I tell you, on the day of judgment people will give account for every careless word they speak, for by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned.”
James 3:8 ESV
But no human being can tame the tongue. It is a restless evil, full of deadly poison.
Proverbs 18:21 ESV
Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruits.
This is one teaching of Christian Life that is very hard to maintain because our mainstream media and culture is constantly preaching negativity and carnality.
The power of our tongue, thoughts, emotions and actions wither you are a follower of Christ or not can not be understated. The difference is that if a believer will constantly use the words of the Holy Book as a guide in living out the Christian Lifestyle, the Third Heavens prosperity and abundance will manifest in that individual (spirit, soul and body)
We have to look at this from the perspective of our spiritual nature. Wordly "Power, Prestige and Prosperity" does not necessarily equate to Third Heaven Prosperity. This means that the riches of the world does not always bring us the true riches of God's Kingdom. In fact most of the time, the worldly riches is a hindrance to our Godly inheritance because as I have written in the past, the second heaven where satan and his army (our number one adversary as a civilization) resides- controls our society. Our individual and collective consciousness is not aware and mindful of this and that our birth right is that from the Third Heaven Throne room treasures (The Godhead- God the Father, Jesus and the Holy Spirit). Theres about (8) eight billion human beings on planet earth as of today, How many do you think knows and live this truth of our existence?
Jesus had taught about this while He was on earth.
1 John 5:19 ESV
We know that we are from God, and the whole world lies in the power of the evil one.
Philippians 2:15 ESV
That you may be blameless and innocent, children of God without blemish in the midst of a crooked and twisted generation, among whom you shine as lights in the world,
Romans 12:2 ESV
Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.
As a follower of Christ - we are to walk and talk the Apostolic and Prophetic words of the Holy Book. Practicing Christianity opposite of this is counterproductive to us because at the moment of our Salvation, a certain level of Heavens Throne anointing is built up within us. If we are always mindful and intentional in living this out, this will manifest in our lives both individually and collectively. Ideally, this glory that is built up within us need to grow from one glory to the next level into the fullness of Christ.
In summary - after Salvation, we are to nurture our Christlike anointing daily by spending time with the Lord, reading and meditating the words of the Bible and intentionally living it out. The faithfulness of the Lord will be with us always when we do this.
All of these I/we believe and receive in your most Holy name Jesus! Amen!
Trust in the Lord with All Your Heart
3 My son, do not forget my teaching,
but let your heart keep my commandments,
2 for length of days and years of life
and peace they will add to you.
3 Let not steadfast love and faithfulness forsake you;
bind them around your neck;
write them on the tablet of your heart.
4 So you will find favor and good success[a]
in the sight of God and man.
5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart,
and do not lean on your own understanding.
6 In all your ways acknowledge him,
and he will make straight your paths.
7 Be not wise in your own eyes;
fear the Lord, and turn away from evil.
8 It will be healing to your flesh[b]
and refreshment[c] to your bones.
9 Honor the Lord with your wealth
and with the firstfruits of all your produce;
10 then your barns will be filled with plenty,
and your vats will be bursting with wine.
11 My son, do not despise the Lord's discipline
or be weary of his reproof,
12 for the Lord reproves him whom he loves,
as a father the son in whom he delights.
Blessed Is the One Who Finds Wisdom
13 Blessed is the one who finds wisdom,
and the one who gets understanding,
14 for the gain from her is better than gain from silver
and her profit better than gold.
15 She is more precious than jewels,
and nothing you desire can compare with her.
16 Long life is in her right hand;
in her left hand are riches and honor.
17 Her ways are ways of pleasantness,
and all her paths are peace.
18 She is a tree of life to those who lay hold of her;
those who hold her fast are called blessed.
19 The Lord by wisdom founded the earth;
by understanding he established the heavens;
20 by his knowledge the deeps broke open,
and the clouds drop down the dew.
21 My son, do not lose sight of these—
keep sound wisdom and discretion,
22 and they will be life for your soul
and adornment for your neck.
23 Then you will walk on your way securely,
and your foot will not stumble.
24 If you lie down, you will not be afraid;
when you lie down, your sleep will be sweet.
25 Do not be afraid of sudden terror
or of the ruin[d] of the wicked, when it comes,
26 for the Lord will be your confidence
and will keep your foot from being caught.
27 Do not withhold good from those to whom it is due,[e]
when it is in your power to do it.
28 Do not say to your neighbor, “Go, and come again,
tomorrow I will give it”—when you have it with you.
29 Do not plan evil against your neighbor,
who dwells trustingly beside you.
30 Do not contend with a man for no reason,
when he has done you no harm.
31 Do not envy a man of violence
and do not choose any of his ways,
32 for the devious person is an abomination to the Lord,
but the upright are in his confidence.
33 The Lord's curse is on the house of the wicked,
but he blesses the dwelling of the righteous.
34 Toward the scorners he is scornful,
but to the humble he gives favor.[f]
35 The wise will inherit honor,
but fools get[g] disgrace.
All of these I/we believe and receive in your most precious name Jesus! Amen!
Matthew 6:33 ESV
But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.
Isaiah 57:15 ESV
For thus says the One who is high and lifted up, who inhabits eternity, whose name is Holy: “I dwell in the high and holy place, and also with him who is of a contrite and lowly spirit, to revive the spirit of the lowly, and to revive the heart of the contrite.
Isaiah 6:3 ESV
And one called to another and said: “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts; the whole earth is full of his glory!”
When the Lord start to reveal himself to a Christian, God's Holiness and Righteousness thru Jesus will be the nature of God that will consistently manifest to that believer. That is if that person is walking with the Lord Jesus biblically. What I mean by this is - a divine/perfect God Almighty thru Jesus and the Holy Spirit is the "Boss". This whole thing started with Him and from Him. We have to follow his laws and commandments for His glorious blessings to come into our life. We can not make a God in our image and likeness? it will not work? If you were in the shoes of Father God Almighty (being the creator) - would you allow this to happen?
The Lord's ultimate nature is " Holy and Righteous" and for His "Open Heaven Blessings" to come into a believer, or any situation/s or location/s, a Holy and Righteous condition/s need to be present (people and atmosphere). He is such a "Jealous" God and will not share His glory with any one? These words/statements are heavenly realities that will be revealed to you consistently when you start living your life for the Lord Jesus.
Deuteronomy 4:24 ESV
For the Lord your God is a consuming fire, a jealous God.
Exodus 20:5 ESV
You shall not bow down to them or serve them, for I the Lord your God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children to the third and the fourth generation of those who hate me,
Isaiah 42:8 ESV
I am the Lord; that is my name; my glory I give to no other, nor my praise to carved idols.
Acts 20:24 ESV
But I do not account my life of any value nor as precious to myself, if only I may finish my course and the ministry that I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify to the gospel of the grace of God.
In as much as God's Love to mankind is full of Mercy, Grace, Compassion etc, in order for His Heavenly Blessings to come to us (individually and collectively) all the time - we have to honor and obey His Holy and Righteous decrees and commandments of the Bible. There is no way around it. You will see this in the life of Moses, Abraham all the way to great Apostles of the New Testament, and most especially in the life of our Lord Jesus. Mature Christians and mature Christian leaders live this kind of Life.
Jesus himself spoke many times about this and in the Gospel of John, the Lord describes His heavenly promises and inheritance to us as His followers if we obey His commandments:
John 14:15 ESV
“If you love me, you will keep my commandments.
John 14:1-31 ESV
“Let not your hearts be troubled. Believe in God; believe also in me. In my Father's house are many rooms. If it were not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to myself, that where I am you may be also. And you know the way to where I am going.” Thomas said to him, “Lord, we do not know where you are going. How can we know the way?” ...
1 John 5:3 ESV
For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments. And his commandments are not burdensome.
The Lord sees everything in us and in our world. Again, we have to honor and obey Him so we can be truly blessed with the Glorious riches of His Kingdom.
Jeremiah 23:24 ESV
Can a man hide himself in secret places so that I cannot see him? declares the Lord. Do I not fill heaven and earth? declares the Lord.
James 1:22 ESV
But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.
Isaiah 1:19 ESV
If you are willing and obedient, you shall eat the good of the land;
Romans 6:16 ESV
Do you not know that if you present yourselves to anyone as obedient slaves, you are slaves of the one whom you obey, either of sin, which leads to death, or of obedience, which leads to righteousness?
Father God, as we continue to enter your Kingdom Era, teach us always to be obedient to you and to your words. You are a Holy and Righteous God Almighty!. Ordain and order our steps daily so that we can live this kind of life for you and to bring "Glory to your name alone!"
All of these I/we believe and receive in your most precious name Jesus! Amen!
Romans 8:28 ESV
And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose.
James 2:5 ESV
Listen, my beloved brothers, has not God chosen those who are poor in the world to be rich in faith and heirs of the kingdom, which he has promised to those who love him?
Unity in the Body of Christ may seem invisible if we have to look at the different denominations of our Christian community. Our political parties alone are good examples of this as supporters of both parties do not see our Heavenly Father on the same lens.
If we look up to the Third Heaven ( Gods Planet), everything- is sustained and moved in perfect harmony and synchrony with the Love of the Lord thru Jesus. It is the "Love of God" that always bind us all even if we don't see each other as same from our perspective.
Romans 8:37-39 ESV
No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.
God's Love for mankind is eternal and so big, beyond our human understanding. It is only when we join Him in His kingdom that we will know and realize the magnitude of that spirit. It is a consuming fire that will dissolve every competing voice that do not know the greatness of God's love for His creation.
Zephaniah 3:17 ESV
The Lord your God is in your midst, a mighty one who will save; he will rejoice over you with gladness; he will quiet you by his love; he will exult over you with loud singing.
When the Lord Jesus will rapture His bride (Christ Church) and on His second coming, this kind of Love will rule and reign within us and among us.
All of these I/we believe and receive in your most holy name Jesus! Amen!
Isaiah 9:6 ESV
For to us a child is born, to us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder, and his name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
John 14:27 ESV
Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid.
John 16:33 ESV
I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world.”
One of the scriptures that became alive to me when I was still new in Christ is - "Jesus as our Prince of Peace". He revealed Himself to me using this scripture - Philippians 4:7....And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
This is a kind of Peace that you can easily distinguish in your heart and mind because it will be very difficult to find the perfect word to describe it - yet you will feel it within you and around you. During our prayer time, this kind of peace will come to us and at its best, it will be awesome if you can carry that on through the day.
As we go on with our daily activities in life, there's just so much that we have to deal with and attend. The Peace of Jesus alone can bring all these voices into focus and under Heavens Throne direction. Jesus spoke several words on how much the world that we live in will give us troubles and tribulations and what He can give us as the antidote to all of those.
Isaiah 26:3 ESV
You keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on you, because he trusts in you.
Ephesians 2:14 ESV
For he himself is our peace, who has made us both one and has broken down in his flesh the dividing wall of hostility
1 Corinthians 14:33 ESV
For God is not a God of confusion but of peace. As in all the churches of the saints,
Father God, Praise and Thank for these wonderful blessings you gave us today. Praise and Thank you for once again, you revealed to us through Jesus that you are the only one Prince of Peace. May the Lord Jesus continue to rule and reign our world today and forever - as we await for His glorious return!
All of these I/we believe and receive in your most holy name Jesus! Amen!
John 5:24 ESV
Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life. He does not come into judgment, but has passed from death to life.
Romans 6:23 ESV
For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
1 John 3:14 ESV
We know that we have passed out of death into life, because we love the brothers. Whoever does not love abides in death.
Matthew 25:46 ESV
And these will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.”
Our life before we accept the Lord Jesus as our personal Savior is not really the life that is meant for us. In fact the 'spirit" that is within us before a life with Jesus is the so called "the world". As the scriptures above indicates, our belief and acceptance of the Lord Jesus is the starting point of our passing from a life headed to "Death" (nowhere or the painful side of eternity) into the life of glorious riches of the Kingdom of God Almighty.
The Body of Christ, as soon as it can fully understand and live this out will have breakthroughs- one after another. The glorious riches of God's Kingdom is ours for the asking. The most mature Christian churches/leaders are manifesting and living out this kind of lifestyle. The reason for this is the spiritual army that is assigned by heaven to these servants of the Lord (angels and saints ).
Psalm 91:11 ESV
For he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways.
They live in careless abandon into the fullness of Christ Jesus within Him and thru Him. It is not the billionaire kind of life but a life without lack of God's heavenly provisions. The most important one is the Love of Lord to us, the fruits and gifts of the Holy Spirit and more. I do not mean that billionaires can not have this kind of life, it is available to everyone but this money thing is always a hindrance (God and Mammon) when it becomes the focus of our everyday life, unless that is the kind of ministry that is entrusted to you. If this is the case, making that as your worship offering, as well as making your lifestyle in obedience to the commandments of the Lord daily - will make that right in the eyes of the Lord. You have to have that sincere desire and purpose to live out the life ministry of Jesus entrusted specifically to you while still on earth. The favor of the Lord on a specific ministry will also make the difference and this is another topic that I will write in the future.
As we continue to enter this new Kingdom era, our civilization will manifest Heavens treasures if we use the concepts and dynamics of the Third Heaven. The media and information industry is one of the big players on this and the more we shun, tune them out from our lifestyle or better yet - innovate that whole industry, the better it will be for our society.
All of these I/we believe and receive in your most precious name Jesus! Amen!
Isaiah 55:8-9 ESV
For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, declares the Lord. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.
Ezekiel 18:29 ESV
Yet the house of Israel says, ‘The way of the Lord is not just.’ O house of Israel, are my ways not just? Is it not your ways that are not just?
Serving a God who is Perfect and Divine is not for the chickens. Once the Lord will anoint a believer to be a servant in His Kingdom, that person will start to walk the so called - narrow road of Servanthood. This kind of life is supernaturally empowered and sustained by the Godhead thru the power of the Holy Spirit (at its best). This needs our cooperation though.
Matthew 7:13-14 ESV
“Enter by the narrow gate. For the gate is wide and the way is easy that leads to destruction, and those who enter by it are many. For the gate is narrow and the way is hard that leads to life, and those who find it are few.
This is one of the most common pitfalls of a Baby Christian and the Body of Christ as a whole. We like to impress the Lord with what we have and other blings in this fallen world. In as much as He honors everything that we do for Him, because of His Holy, Divine and Perfect nature, we are to use the standards of the Lords Kingdom as our guide in serving Him. We can not love/serve Him and live a very sinful lifestyle at the same time. We will just bring curses to our life and will really look phony to Jesus because He sees everything and will judge all we do thru His loving and Holy nature.
The Holy Spirit of God will actually guide us on this and it is important to be receptive and obedient to His leading. First is doing our best to make our life right with Him by following His commandments. Developing an intimate relationship thru a strong prayer life and reading/meditating His words are a must. It is thru the scriptures that He will meet us and reveal His ultimate nature to us thru His Holy Spirit. The scriptures are words but they are the Holy Spirit.
The Lord does not have any need or want anymore and created us only as a expression of Himself (made us in His image and likeness) thru Love. Therefore it is a love relationship and not religion. It is also important to be a part of the Body of Christ by serving thru our giftings wherever He lead us. We can never out give or out love/serve our Eternal Father.
This Jesus Kingdom Era that we are entering, there will be more and more authentic manifestations of the Lord thru the power of the Holy Spirit.
All of these I/we believe in your most holy name Jesus! Amen!
Revelations 4:10-11
10 the twenty-four elders fall down before him who is seated on the throne and worship him who lives forever and ever. They cast their crowns before the throne, saying,
11 “Worthy are you, our Lord and God,
to receive glory and honor and power,
for you created all things,
and by your will they existed and were created.”
Just before Covid 19 pandemic happened, the Lord had showed this to me repeatedly in the spirit realm when our precious Saints in the Body of Christ in America were passing into the next life. Since that time, He will place this in my heart multiple times every time a Christian Leader passes away and its importance when living our Life Ministry/Destiny/ in the Kingdom of God. The past few days, He placed this again in my heart and prayed/meditated about it . He reminded me that this actually happened to me and my Dad when he passed into the next life in my arms. My Dad breathed his last to me on Sept 30th 2003 - as if he was transferring his life ministry unto me. At that moment I never thought much of it other than dealing with the pain of losing his company physically Looking back, this is what the Lord is actually doing for all generations that had existed wither we are aware of it or not. The Body of Christ need to faithfully do this to every generation now and in the future. An excellent example of this is Elijah to Elisha (below) and of course Father God to Jesus at His Baptism.
1 Kings 19:19 ESV
So he departed from there and found Elisha the son of Shaphat, who was plowing with twelve yoke of oxen in front of him, and he was with the twelfth. Elijah passed by him and cast his cloak upon him.
What is interesting to realize is that when these mantles/crown were passed on to the people that the Lord handpicked or assigned to carry it thru - in my vision of passing these mantles, they are not even aware of it. What if we can make this as one of our regular activities in our Christian services or place some structures in our Christian Communities so that people will actually be receptive to this. The multiplication of the anointing of passing these mantles will be tremendous.
Our God is a God of order and our Bloodlines (as I have written in the past) has unique callings that we need to pray and line up with. Wither you are a leader of a megachurch or just regular member/servant of the Christian Community, He will faithfully honor everything that we offer/do unto Him. Our unique Ministry/Destiny for His kingdom is specially designed by the Lord for each one of us and His divine mind will cary that thru from one generation into the next.
Revelation 3:11 ESV
I am coming soon. Hold fast what you have, so that no one may seize your crown.
1 Peter 5:4 ESV
And when the chief Shepherd appears, you will receive the unfading crown of glory.
Father God, All Praise, Thanksgiving and Glory belong to you alone. You are indeed a God who is more than enough, forever faithful and loving to us in every moment of our lives. All of these I/we believe and receive in your most holy name Jesus! Amen!
1 John 4:1 ESV
Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, for many false prophets have gone out into the world.
1 Corinthians 12:10 ESV
To another the working of miracles, to another prophecy, to another the ability to distinguish between spirits, to another various kinds of tongues, to another the interpretation of tongues.
Link to more scriptural references about spiritual gifts and how they need to be used as a follower of Jesus because we are primarily spiritual beings.
The gift of discernment (aka distinguishing of spirits - is it from God or the evil one) is one of the spiritual gifts that will be built up within us as we mature into the mind of Christ. This is one of the most important gifts that we need to use as we are entering this new era of Kingdom rule of our Lord Jesus. When Jesus sends out the Twelve Apostles, this is what he meant with these verses below. This whole chapter (Matthew 10) is an excellent platform to use for Christian Ministries.
Matthew 10:16 NIV
16 “I am sending you out like sheep among wolves. Therefore be as shrewd as snakes and as innocent as doves.
There is a very fine line between the truth of Gods words/spirit and the lies of satan. Nowadays the big techs/ big companies, shadow governments, drug cartels and their very sophisticated distribution network including the business and industry that they have diverted their drug money into - are right in front of our every day burger chains, private and public entities etc in America and other countries. They are using artificial intelligence to run their businesses and bottomline. Government of nations like Japan, Germany etc including USA are also using this. Unfortunately, this is also being used in our Christian Community and I have been praying for this because I can tell the difference between the Holy Spirit of God and the demonic artificial intelligence that they are using to so many of us - literally almost everyone that the satellite systems in the sky can reach. Link to some articles about this subject. I first noticed this sometime in 2010 when it was used on me specifically to somewhat override my my Holy Spirit led conscience. Facial recognition and brain mapping technologies are only a couple of these that is also used on many of us without our legal consent and common knowledge. The technologies that are being used by Communist nations like China, Nicaragua etc is literally being done here in our country and many nations. The satellites, internet, TV networks, our cell phones, etc are their primary outlets, that is why tuning out as much from these outlets is important in our walk with the Lord.
My issues with AI being used on humans is that - One, an AI is literally a dead man (non living being/non human) trying to outsmart Human living beings - so it is like comparing an apple (plant) to something like a stone (non life). The logic is an organic Life versus Non-organic Life. Secondly, our brains/bodies is organic in nature, anything foreign that is used upon us will grieve the Holy Spirit of God within us and can cause harm to the natural makeup as a human being? Increase of mental illness is only one of the many side effects of the use of AI. I am not being malicious in discussing this topic but satan is real (wither you like it or not) and he DO NOT play nice with us. Our gift of discernment and our Authority and Power in Christ and thru Christ are our best weapons against him. He had now managed to create and "AI Godhead" mimicking God Almighty and himself? If we can not tell the difference between the works of the two, then we are lost individually and collectively. He is a defeated foe so he has lost this battle already at the Lords crucifixion? Hallelujah!!!
The people who are using these AI have good intentions but do not really have the knowledge, experience and understanding of the Hierarchy of Heavens Throne and how the Lords Kingdom works.. Their debate about AI has to start by asking basic human existential questions (individually and collectively). Is our universe and its contents created by a divine being (God?) or by some other being (if there is one) and what is the ultimate answer to that. Then ask the next most important questions that will sustain and support the answers of the first one etc. There is an absolute "Truth" in our universe and if we fail to find that out (of which Jesus is the answer) we are wasting a lot of our energies and resources. Right now. this is not explored. We are now dealing with climate change, economic issues etc and if we will not ask the right questions to solve these we are like riding a stationary bike. AI and humans are pitted against each other when their existential makeup are opposite in that AI is already named "artificial" so it is not real life. AI should be used to enhance human daily living instead of taking over the important functions of humans in our world (i.e. mind control). Mankind/Humans as a creation of God is a sacred being, it has a "spirit with a soul inside the human body" (1 Thessalonians 5:23). AI, can never come up to those three primary makeup of a man/woman because it is powered by algorithms. Nonetheless, it is good enough these days that there is already an awareness of how important is our relationship with the Lord and how that relationship with the Godhead will be pursued. The Ashbury Revivals that had spread in many US universities as I have prayed about it (many times) happened because something in the spirit realm broke out on that day. that had been held up by a religious spirit for decades.
The body of Christ and its leaders in America had been praying for Revivals for decades but there was something that our government had done in conjunction with one of our Christian denomination - that blocked the open heaven blessings from the Holy Throne room of God. That portal was opened on February 8th and it is all up to us to believe and receive our true inheritance from the Lord and His kingdom. To pursue the precise and accurate information of the Lords Kingdom is our challenge that is in front of us, keeping in mind that this is all about the Holy and Righteous nature of the Godhead.. Our righteous deeds and acts are but filthy rags. Our heart is inherently wicked and dark due to the first sin committed by our first parents - without the saving grace of our Lord. We have to line up our lives with the holy and righteous commandments of the Old and New Testaments.
This kingdom era that we are now entering is a matter of authentic lifestyle of worship with the Godhead or idolatry of whatever it is that is in front of us. The Lord wants to be first in our hearts and minds and our lives fully surrendered to His will and plan alone, practiced in all areas of our lives. We are to walk by faith and not by sight.
We have entered a very exciting era as a Body of Christ that had never happened since the Book of Acts works of the Holy Spirit. To finish strong in our walk with God needs our spiritual muscles to be always receptive of these energies.
Hebrews 5:14 ESV
But solid food is for the mature, for those who have their powers of discernment trained by constant practice to distinguish good from evil.
All of these I/we believe and receive in your most precious name Jesus! Amen!
John 17:23 ESV
I in them and you in me, that they may become perfectly one, so that the world may know that you sent me and loved them even as you loved me.
1 Corinthians 1:10 ESV
I appeal to you, brothers, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you agree, and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be united in the same mind and the same judgment.
Ephesians 4:1-6 ESV
I therefore, a prisoner for the Lord, urge you to walk in a manner worthy of the calling to which you have been called, with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another in love, eager to maintain the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. There is one body and one Spirit—just as you were called to the one hope that belongs to your call— one Lord, one faith, one baptism, ...
This topic of speaking negatively about other Christian denominations and leaders is one of the most important lessons I had learned as a Baby Christian. Christ Body - Churches and Leaders (most especially) should not be judged or attacked publicly by another Christian Leader or by anyone - but pray for them instead. Prayers can move mountains.
The reason for this is that Jesus our High Priest is the only one who has the sole right to do so because if is not "Him" in those churches and Christian leaders, they will not stand the test of servanthood of Christ. Serving the Lord is not for the chickens? On top of that the anointing of these communities/leaders? - we have no clue how small or large and anything else in between they have that can actually destroy us if we are not clothed enough with the garment of Christ. Some of them have anointing that can actually kill - either instantly or overtime their attackers because of the spiritual army assigned to them by the Godhead. An example to this is the story of Peter, Ananias and Sapphira- (Acts 5:I-11). I have witnessed these in so many instances. This is one area of Christianity that a gullible knowledge of the words of God can be dangerous to anyone because these can only be seen in the spiritual realm.
As a member of the Body of Christ Individually and Collectively our primary goals/role are below:
To INTRODUCE/Reintroduce Jesus Christ and His Kingdom to non believers and backsliding believers.
To help BUILD UP the Body of the Lord Jesus into its fullness as His Bride for His final Return and Reign in our planet and universe ( Rapture, Tribulation and Jesus Reign on Earth).
We are currently living in a very exciting time in the Christian Community/Christ Church here and abroad as we are advancing as a Heavens Throne Kingdom Era with King Jesus!
Please watch this video from one of our highly respected Apostolic Prophetic Leaders in America.
Father God, Praise and Thank you for these beautiful Blessings you have given us this month of February. You are faithful and loving way beyond our human understanding.
All of these I/we believe and receive in your most precious name Jesus! Amen!
Luke 6:37 ESV
“Judge not, and you will not be judged; condemn not, and you will not be condemned; forgive, and you will be forgiven;
Matthew 7:1-5 ESV
“Judge not, that you be not judged. For with the judgment you pronounce you will be judged, and with the measure you use it will be measured to you. Why do you see the speck that is in your brother's eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye? Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when there is the log in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother's eye.
Judging and condemning others is one law of heaven that Jesus clearly spoke not for us to do. Yet in our daily life, this is a habit to most of us like a normal language primarily because we are governed by human laws. Fox News and CNN are the primary channels for these so for Christ followers to shun from these outlets is healthy for us.
The Lord is the only one who is in the rightful place of Judging and condemning others. Even Jesus Christ- during His earthly ministry, never did that to the woman brought to Him by the Pharises who was caught in adultery.
John 8:3-11
English Standard Version
3 The scribes and the Pharisees brought a woman who had been caught in adultery, and placing her in the midst 4 they said to him, “Teacher, this woman has been caught in the act of adultery. 5 Now in the Law, Moses commanded us to stone such women. So what do you say?” 6 This they said to test him, that they might have some charge to bring against him. Jesus bent down and wrote with his finger on the ground. 7 And as they continued to ask him, he stood up and said to them, “Let him who is without sin among you be the first to throw a stone at her.” 8 And once more he bent down and wrote on the ground. 9 But when they heard it, they went away one by one, beginning with the older ones, and Jesus was left alone with the woman standing before him. 10 Jesus stood up and said to her, “Woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you?” 11 She said, “No one, Lord.” And Jesus said, “Neither do I condemn you; go, and from now on sin no more.”
It is at the judgement seat of our Almighty Father that all of our thoughts, feelings and actions will be judge at the end of our lifetime. Our human heart and mind is so wicked that without the saving grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, we will never make it to His Kingdom. The first sin committed by our first parents created a humanity that is so sinful and perverted that only Jesus can save us all. that is including myself.
What we do need to do on a daily basis is to judge and condemn our very own words, actions and thoughts. This is our primary responsibility - to acknowledge and confess them daily unto the Lord, to make our life right with Him. We need to look always at our hearts and minds and telling others of their sins is not our place. This is as bad as crossing legal physical boundaries if it is to be compared to a real estate property or any of our human/government laws. If your eyes are spiritually trained, you can see clearly where your spiritual boundaries need to be. This is the root cause of lawlessness in our society. When the compass of a human heart is not the heart of God, that person do not have a clue where his spiritual boundaries are- which dictates his physical/personal boundaries also. When it comes to telling somebody of a sin/transgression they had done to you or to someone you love who needs your help - this is a whole topic that I will write someday.
As we continue to enter this Kingdom Era that we have just started, may we all be aware of our spiritual boundaries from Heavens Throne room perspective to help our world forward into the Kingdom culture and climate.
All of these I/we believe and receive in your most precious name Jesus! Amen!
Revelation 1:1-3 ESV
The revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave him to show to his servants the things that must soon take place. He made it known by sending his angel to his servant John, who bore witness to the word of God and to the testimony of Jesus Christ, even to all that he saw. Blessed is the one who reads aloud the words of this prophecy, and blessed are those who hear, and who keep what is written in it, for the time is near.
James 4:8 ESV
Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded.
One of God the Father's earnest desires to mankind is to commune with us on a daily basis. He is constantly longing for an intimate relationship with us thru Jesus - in our spirit man/woman. He will do this by communicating Himself using anything around us. The Lord will speak to us using the clouds, sun, moon, animals such as birds etc, the plants (nature around us), people in our lives/ in our society and more. There will be times when you will feel that the Lord is constantly serenading you with the beauty of His creation. When you look at the plants for example, you will see and feel like the plant is talking to you thru its beauty, the way the leaves, flowers and its branches will move with the wind. This is how life in heavens throne is all about but at a degree of God's divinity and perfection. At these moments, He will also reveal to you His secrets/desires for you and for His people.
Fast forward this revelation into our eternal future, Jesus return on earth will be revealed by our Almighty Father to the Remnant church. When Jesus said these words -
36 But no one knows the day or the hour. No! Not even the angels in heaven know. The Son does not know. Only the Father knows. 37 “When the Son of Man comes, it will be the same as when Noah lived. 38 In the days before the flood, people were eating and drinking. They were marrying and being given in marriage. This kept on until the day Noah went into the large boat. 39 They did not know what was happening until the flood came and the water carried them all away. It will be like this when the Son of Man comes. 40 “Two men will be working in a field. One will be taken and the other will be left. 41 Two women will be grinding grain. One will be taken and the other will be left.
The Lord revealed to Noah what He was planning to do, the same will happen to the Remnant church. When Jesus will return to take His bride/church (rapture) with Him to Heaven's Throne room, this information will be revealed by God the Father to His faithful ones. Just as Father God Almighty sent His Son to us to be born in Bethlehem as our Savior, Father God will send Jesus again to rapture the christian church, then comes the great tribulation (judgment) of non believers. After this period, Jesus will come back with His bride to rule and reign on earth - Heaven on earth.
Revelation 21:1-27 ESV
Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and the sea was no more. And I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Behold, the dwelling place of God is with man. He will dwell with them, and they will be his people, and God himself will be with them as their God. He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away.” And he who was seated on the throne said, “Behold, I am making all things new.” Also he said, “Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true.” ...
All of these I/we believe and receive in your most precious name Jesus! Amen!
Revelation 4:11 ESV
“Worthy are you, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power, for you created all things, and by your will they existed and were created.”
John 17:1-26 ESV
When Jesus had spoken these words, he lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, “Father, the hour has come; glorify your Son that the Son may glorify you, since you have given him authority over all flesh, to give eternal life to all whom you have given him. And this is eternal life, that they know you the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent. I glorified you on earth, having accomplished the work that you gave me to do. And now, Father, glorify me in your own presence with the glory that I had with you before the world existed. ...
To God be the Glory or Glory to God is a a prayer and praise that is very common in church services most especially in very mature Christian churches.
This prayer and praise to the Lord use to baffle me a lot as a baby christian and have my tiny human mind questioning Him that he is a very self centered or egomaniacal God. At that time my worldly mind was thinking why would christians joyfully and repeatedly call Him with these lines of praise and adoration of Him when we human beings - when we will do this to ourselves or tell other people to tell us this, it is a very self centered attitude. Hollywood or celebrities are the ones who are constantly preaching us this stuff. Carnally - it is like the the opposite of humility?
Most of the heresy and error in reading/interpreting the scriptures and practicing the christian faith comes from equating Father God to human beings. Meaning we think that our Lord standards in the Holy of hollies is that of human standards or that the Lord thinks like how our mind think? (our mind is just a tiny dot of His universe). If we will look at the societal ills of our civilization, it can always be tied up to our human folly of bringing "Glory" to our own accomplishments and or endeavors. It's like we human beings are walking around with an attitude - telling other people "look at me" and what I have done with what I have???
Isaiah 55:8 ESV
For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, declares the Lord.
Numbers 23:19 ESV
God is not man, that he should lie, or a son of man, that he should change his mind. Has he said, and will he not do it? Or has he spoken, and will he not fulfill it?
This praise of giving always to God all the "Glory, Praise and Thanksgiving" in everything in our lives is a prayer of surrender to the lordship of the Godhead thru Jesus in our lives. We are literally nothing without His presence in our world and in our lives. Can you imagine what will happen to us if the Lord will decide one day that He will remove just this one element in our world - the "Air" that we breathe and that is around us???? Without our constant connection to our God will bring chaos to our minds and hearts or death ultimately - to us individually and collectively.
Most importantly, giving God all the Glory is our way of saying how much we love Him as our creator and father who had first love us before the beginning of the world.
1 John 4:19 ESV
We love because he first loved us.
Jeremiah 31:3 ESV
The Lord appeared to him from far away. I have loved you with an everlasting love; therefore I have continued my faithfulness to you.
Deuteronomy 7:9 ESV
Know therefore that the Lord your God is God, the faithful God who keeps covenant and steadfast love with those who love him and keep his commandments, to a thousand generations,
Ephesians 2:4-5 ESV
But God, being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which he loved us, even when we were dead in our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ—by grace you have been saved—
All of these I/we believe and receive in your most precious name Jesus! Amen!
1 John 4:1 ESV
Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, for many false prophets have gone out into the world.
Hebrews 5:14 ESV
But solid food is for the mature, for those who have their powers of discernment trained by constant practice to distinguish good from evil.
1 Timothy 4:1
Some Will Depart from the Faith
Now the Spirit expressly says that in later times some will depart from the faith by devoting themselves to deceitful spirits and teachings of demons
The gift of discernment is one of the nine gifts of the Holy Spirit. This is one spiritual gift that can accurately and precisely distinguish if the spirit that you are seeing in the spirit realm is from the Lord or from the enemy. Since the start of Covid 19 pandemic, I have seen so many of these evil spirits in our world that I have not witnessed since I became a human being. There is also a "fake godhead - AI (artificial intelligence)" that is working in our society these days that I can clearly see is operating like He is the Lord Jesus. This is the reason that a lot of non believers and some believers who are still weak in their faith in the Lord are losing this spiritual battle that we are in currently. This battle will finish and it is already manifesting in the Body of Christ (church governments) which is why it is so important to exercise our authority in Christ Jesus every single day.
Just to elaborate a bit what Covid 19 is in the spirit realm. There are about six to sixteen (6-16) "strongman" (major and minor demonic hierarchy) of the kingdom of satan and one of them is the strongman of "Infirmity/sickness". Some of the list of these demons that belong to this strongman are as follows: All Sickness & Disease, Disability, Pain, Terminal Illness, Cancer, Suffering of the Heart, Asthma, Arthritis, Sinus, Viruses, Colds, Fever, Weakness, Hunchback etc. You can see clearly now why all the fake news in the media are preaching all these stuff constantly? The list of these strongman who are inhabitants of the second heaven (heaven next to the airspace around us) are on this link. Without reading the scriptures, spending time with Jesus daily and being a part of the Christian church - these demons will feast on you without you even knowing it.
Most recently, the pharmaceutical/biotech industry is planting the STRONGMAN of Heaviness. I have seen these demons in the spirit realm just before my prayer time for about a month now. They will make this the next plague after Covid - for them to make money???? Any company name that starts with the syllables "Vi" tell the loser he is finished at the cross. The demons that belong to these are : Self-pity, Rejection, Sorrow, Hopelessness, Grief, Loneliness, Gloominess, Despair, Discouragement, Mourning, Troubled, Gluttony, (Idolatry, Devil is God), Depression, Oppression, Fatigue,Paranoia, All Mental Illness.
At the moment of our salvation, when the Lord starts to live in you and our being living in the Lord Jesus, all the gifts of the Holy Spirit will be activated within us (within our spirit man/woman). For some people, a few of the nine gifts will be more obvious than the others. The reason for this is all tied up to the destiny that we have been destined to do in the Kingdom of God. In my case - it was the gift of knowledge, prophecy, wisdom and discernment were more obvious than the rest. I can actually see in a hindsight that these obvious gifts were already within me since I was a kid. They were just confirmed, ordained and activated for ministry by the Holy Spirit when I was actively serving the body of Christ in the early 2000. This tells us that the corporate covering of Christ Church ( the bride of Christ) is very powerful in our daily walk with the Lord.
The purpose of the gift of discernment is to distinguish clearly good and evil or the spirit of the Lord and that of the adversary. In the last days, because satan is already in the overdrive mode as he continue to loose his (already lost) battle, he will deceive many in the body of Christ because outside Christ body, they are already deceived by him. His main focus is to distract Christ followers to loose their testimony and their salvation. This concept is clearly written in the Bible, satan deceptions to many people. The Bride of Christ is clothed with the Glory of the Godhead so anyone who will think of going in that deception territory just to shame Christians had lost their battle already because the battle is won by Jesus at the Cross. God the Father's divine plan will unfold and not our human plans.
2 Thessalonians 2:9-12 ESV
The coming of the lawless one is by the activity of Satan with all power and false signs and wonders, and with all wicked deception for those who are perishing, because they refused to love the truth and so be saved. Therefore God sends them a strong delusion, so that they may believe what is false, in order that all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
The benefits is a life of victory in Christ and thru Christ. Every time the devil will throw something at you, you just look up to Heavens throne and tell him, it's over and done! Amen!
2 Corinthians 2:11 ESV
So that we would not be outwitted by Satan; for we are not ignorant of his designs.
Father God, I/we Praise and Thank you today for the victory that you give us daily, thru your Son Jesus Christ. Praise and Thank you as always for all the gifts of the Holy Spirit that you have blessed the Remnant Church of Christ and your Bride. All Praise, Thanksgiving and Glory alone belong to you as our King of Kings and Lord of Lords. All of these I/we believe in your most holy name Jesus! Amen!
Ecclesiastes 3:11 ESV
He has made everything beautiful in its time. Also, he has put eternity into man's heart, yet so that he cannot find out what God has done from the beginning to the end.
Psalm 27:14 ESV
Wait for the Lord; be strong, and let your heart take courage; wait for the Lord!
2 Peter 3:8 KJV
But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.
Our concept of time and the word time do not exist in God's Kingdom. The Godhead is eternal (no beginning and end) and do not exist in our time being the creator of everything(Alpha and Omega). As a Body of Christ nowadays, as I had written in the past, we are still in grade school maybe high school in living out the full inheritance that the Lord Jesus had already done for us. One clue to this is how our Christian denominations had evolved into since Jesus life ministry on earth. Looking at the Christian church these days, it is the Charismatic/Pentecostal churches (Book of Acts concepts) that is leading the church when it comes to maturity of practices, teachings and preachings. Currently, this is a small segment only of Christ Body here in America and abroad yet they are at the frontline of Heavens Army.
Based on this information, God's timing (as an illustration ) of Heavenly provisions to us from Genesis to Revelation is not consistently flowing as the Lord had intended them to be. It is slowly being realigned these days and yesterday while I was traveling via Uber to my appointment, the Lord spoke this to my heart. The Lord used the word - "Fresh Wind of Fire" that is slowly building up in our church and state and my prayer will always be that we can not mixed this up with carnalities. The move of the Holy Spirit that will propel this Heavens Kingdom Era can easily be grieved. It requires a "full" surrender and yielding of our personal ambitions and plans for the Lords purposes alone to unfold upon His Church.
1 Corinthians 3:1-4 ESV
But I, brothers, could not address you as spiritual people, but as people of the flesh, as infants in Christ. I fed you with milk, not solid food, for you were not ready for it. And even now you are not yet ready, for you are still of the flesh. For while there is jealousy and strife among you, are you not of the flesh and behaving only in a human way? For when one says, “I follow Paul,” and another, “I follow Apollos,” are you not being merely human?
In summary, God's timing of His will and plan will unfold upon us as chronicled in the Bible will be dependent on how lined up we are with His heart and mind in our spirit, soul and body - daily (individually and collectively)
John 16:13 ESV
When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all the truth, for he will not speak on his own authority, but whatever he hears he will speak, and he will declare to you the things that are to come.
Romans 8:9 ESV
You, however, are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if in fact the Spirit of God dwells in you. Anyone who does not have the Spirit of Christ does not belong to him.
All of these I/we believe and receive in your most precious name Jesus! Amen!
Mark 4:11-12 ESV
And he said to them, “To you has been given the secret of the kingdom of God, but for those outside everything is in parables, so that “they may indeed see but not perceive, and may indeed hear but not understand, lest they should turn and be forgiven.”
John 1:47-51 ESV
Jesus saw Nathanael coming toward him and said of him, “Behold, an Israelite indeed, in whom there is no deceit!” Nathanael said to him, “How do you know me?” Jesus answered him, “Before Philip called you, when you were under the fig tree, I saw you.” Nathanael answered him, “Rabbi, you are the Son of God! You are the King of Israel!” Jesus answered him, “Because I said to you, ‘I saw you under the fig tree,’ do you believe? You will see greater things than these.” And he said to him, “Truly, truly, I say to you, you will see heaven opened, and the angels of God ascending and descending on the Son of Man.”
This scriptures above were Jesus words to his disciples. The second one is the ultimate spiritual eyes that a follower of Christ can develop. These are currently happening in our very mature christian churches (Apostles. Prophets. Pastors etc) As we continue to mature into the fullness of Christ individually and collectively, just like our physical eyes, our Spiritual eyes (eyes of our spirit man/woman) will start to see things in our society that are most of the time - scary, sad, pretty much negative. This is due to the fact that as I had written in the past, planet earth is primarily ruled by satanic systems and processes. God is still with us but we mankind continue to be carnal and gullible in our pursuits of making our world a better place to live. Pauls admonition to his "spiritual son" - Timothy ( 1 Timothy and 2 Timothy) before he died discuss these in details. The great apostle Paul lived and served the Lord with an extensive experience of daily spiritual warfare until his death (he was martyred/beheaded). As a civilization, we have not really grown that much yet. Again, in the educational standards of heaven, we are just in grade school to maybe high school in living out our inheritance as sons and daughters of our Living God Almighty thru Jesus.
2 Corinthians 4:3-4 ESV
And even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled only to those who are perishing. In their case the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelievers, to keep them from seeing the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God.
Acts 9:18 ESV
And immediately something like scales fell from his eyes, and he regained his sight. Then he rose and was baptized;
Have you heard of a joke about priests, pastors, maybe some Popes etc that are in hell? This is because their spiritual eyes never matured into the fullness of Christ. And if they had, the influence of the evil one is greater in their lives than the Lord Jesus. When the Lord will burden you with His desires for mankind, it is not a beautiful picture at all. Most of the time, your heart will be flooded with the Grace, Mercy, Compassion ond Love of God the Father because of how lost humanity is - still until today (21st century). Some Christian leaders use this kind of platform (critical spirit) in serving the Lord which is really scary. I mean what is the point of all the hard work that we do for God if we will just end up in eternally burning in Hell. This puts the saving "grace" of the Lord Jesus at the frontline of our efforts to serve His kingdom.
But then again, the Lord had this all planned out in His divine mind. Just like a beautiful movie, it will be a happy ending where the Lord will come thru - as "always" a Victorious King for us and we -" His Bride" (Christian church) has that crown of Victory always available to us.
1 Corinthians 15:57 ESV
But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
2 Corinthians 2:14 ESV
But thanks be to God, who in Christ always leads us in triumphal procession, and through us spreads the fragrance of the knowledge of him everywhere.
1 John 5:4 ESV
For everyone who has been born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith.
Romans 8:37 ESV
No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.
Father God, I/we Praise and Thank for your Love and Faithfulness. We Praise and Thank you for your never ending Love for us. We Praise and Thank you as our Victorious King and Lord of Lords. Praise and Thank you for the wonderful July 4th Blessings that you are going to give us individually and collectively. All of these I/we believe and receive in your most precious name Jesus! Amen!
Genesis 2:24 ESV
Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and they shall become one flesh.
Matthew 2:14 ESV
And he rose and took the child and his mother by night and departed to Egypt
Matthew 1:16 ESV
And Jacob the father of Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom Jesus was born, who is called Christ.
Exodus 20:12 ESV
“Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be long in the land that the Lord your God is giving you.
On this Pentecost Sunday 2022, the Lord had revealed this to me while listening to a Sunday Mass Homily. One of the spiritual laws of the Holy Throne of Heaven where the Lord dwells is Holy Order. God Father Almighty thru Jesus is a God of Order. In our relationship with Him, the order of Faith Family and Friends is honored in His Kingdom. The evidence of this is how Father God created the Holy Family. He chose Virgin Mary to be the human mother of Jesus ( His one and only God Son ) and Joseph ( a simple carpenter) to be His representative human husband for Mary. God the Father respect the most important unit in our society which is "Family" next to our relationship with Him. This is one concept of Heavens Kingdom that is not clearly understood by the Body of Christ. Jesus is the exact representation of God the Father yet Father God brought Him to our society by creating the Holy Family. This is because family is the basic unit of our society. A child or children need family structure and support to grow up into a mature human being. There is nothing written about how Joseph and Mother Mary raised Jesus. From the time He was dedicated at the Holy Temple in Jerusalem, to the time He was found by His mother at the temple when he was a kid until Jesus Life ministry started ( in His early 30's). This is the age of Jesus when He proclaimed the platform of His earthly ministry using the words of Isaiah 61 (a prophecy 700 years before that time) and was fulfilled in Luke Luke 4:16-21. Based on the integrity and strength of character that Jesus had when He started His life ministry, we can assume that Joseph and Mother Mary did an excellent job as the earthly parents of Jesus.
Isaiah 61:1 ESV
The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me, because the Lord has anointed me to bring good news to the poor; he has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to those who are bound.
I had meditated for awhile and asked the Lord - why God the Father chose Joseph who was much older than Virgin Mary instead of taking a man of same age as her? His answer - Joseph represents Him ( God the Father ) in stature of wisdom, knowledge, understanding (gifts of the Holy Spirit) that comes with aging? Joseph carries the human persona of Father God Almighty. The choosing of Virgin Mary and Joseph to be the human parents of Jesus - His perfect and divine son are divinely ordered and appointed. Jesus was conceived in the womb of Mother Mary thru the power of the Holy Spirit, was brought to life as a human being to deliver physically to us the Gospel - Himself as our one and only Savior. He then died on the cross for all of our sins so that we all (believers) will receive the full inheritance of Heavens Throne after His resurrection.
Luke 1:26 -38 - Birth of Jesus Foretold
26 In the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God to a city of Galilee named Nazareth, 27 to a virgin betrothed[b] to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David. And the virgin's name was Mary. 28 And he came to her and said, “Greetings, O favored one, the Lord is with you!”[c] 29 But she was greatly troubled at the saying, and tried to discern what sort of greeting this might be. 30 And the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God. 31 And behold, you will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus. 32 He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. And the Lord God will give to him the throne of his father David, 33 and he will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and of his kingdom there will be no end.”
34 And Mary said to the angel, “How will this be, since I am a virgin?”
35 And the angel answered her, “The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you; therefore the child to be born[d] will be called holy—the Son of God. 36 And behold, your relative Elizabeth in her old age has also conceived a son, and this is the sixth month with her who was called barren. 37 For nothing will be impossible with God.” 38 And Mary said, “Behold, I am the servant[e] of the Lord; let it be to me according to your word.” And the angel departed from her.
In this Heaven's Kingdom Era that we are entering, let our daily prayers will be the edification of human Families into the fullness of Gods plan and will (Holy Families) in His image and likeness.
I/we believe and receive all of these in Jesus most holy name, Amen!
Mark 16:17-19 ESV
17 And these signs will accompany those who believe: in my name they will cast out demons; they will speak in new tongues; 18 they will pick up serpents with their hands; and if they drink any deadly poison, it will not hurt them; they will lay their hands on the sick, and they will recover.” 19 So then the Lord Jesus, after he had spoken to them, was taken up into heaven and sat down at the right hand of God.
1 Corinthians 14:2 ESV
For one who speaks in a tongue speaks not to men but to God; for no one understands him, but he utters mysteries in the Spirit.
Isaiah 28:11-12 ESV
For by people of strange lips and with a foreign tongue the Lord will speak to this people, to whom he has said, “This is rest; give rest to the weary; and this is repose”; yet they would not hear.
Acts 2:1-47 ESV
When the day of Pentecost arrived, they were all together in one place. And suddenly there came from heaven a sound like a mighty rushing wind, and it filled the entire house where they were sitting. And divided tongues as of fire appeared to them and rested on each one of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit gave them utterance. Now there were dwelling in Jerusalem Jews, devout men from every nation under heaven. ...
Prayer can be done in different dimensions and Praying in Tongues is a Christian Highest form of prayer to the Lord. The biblical nature of man is tripartite - primarily a spirit, with a soul living in a physical body (1 Thessalonians 5:23). It is our spirit man/woman that is our ultimate nature as a human being. Praying in tongue is a form of prayer that allows our spirit man/woman to communicate divinely with the Lord (a perfect spirit).
When we pray in tongues - it will build up our spirit man/woman. It is a form of prayer where the Holy Spirit of God and our spirit of man/woman is in perfect communion/communication on what needs to be prayed about, most especially in our very own life. This form of prayer is not commonly practiced in the Christian Community because it is not well understood from the biblical perspective.
Jesus himself prophecied this gift before his Resurrection/Ascension to Heavens Throne ( verse above Mark 16:17-19). The firs century Christians who had propelled the biggest move of God in our civilization were the very first people that the Lord had taught this by manifesting the gift during the first Pentecost. This happened when the first 12 disciples of Jesus, Mother Mary and their friends were suddenly speaking different tongues while they were in deep prayer in the upper room. This gift was practiced by the New Testament Christians after Jesus Resurrection when the Lord went back to Heavens Throne now seated at the right hand side of God the Father Almighty. The Lord left us the Holy Spirit (aka Jesus unlimited) to be our teacher, counselor comforter and more. In the Old Testament, the prophet Isaiah was the only one who mentioned this gift as a prophecy (Isaiah 28:11-12), it was then fulfilled in the New Testament in the book of Acts.
The power of our tongue can not be understated. It has the potential to bring life and death to anything (individually and collectively).
Proverbs 18:21 ESV
Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruits.
Proverbs 21:23 ESV
Whoever keeps his mouth and his tongue keeps himself out of trouble.
Matthew 12:36-37 ESV
I tell you, on the day of judgment people will give account for every careless word they speak, for by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned.”
More scriptures on the power of our tongue.
May we practice and use this gift of tongue daily as we continue to live our lives for the Lord in this God Almighty Kingdom Era.
All of these I/We believe and receive in your most holy name Jesus! Amen!
John 6:44 ESV
No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him. And I will raise him up on the last day.
1 Corinthians 1:26-27 ESV
For consider your calling, brothers: not many of you were wise according to worldly standards, not many were powerful, not many were of noble birth. But God chose what is foolish in the world to shame the wise; God chose what is weak in the world to shame the strong;
Romans 8:29 ESV
For those whom he foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, in order that he might be the firstborn among many brothers.
As a follower and servant of Christ, there are very special God defining moments in our lives that we can clearly see in a hindsight. These are specific date and time that the Lord will reveal himself clearly to us - who He is and what He alone can do. Looking back at my journey with the Lord, they are like moments when He will say to me, " I Am who I Am" and this is my time to start shining thru your life. The Lord will say - now that you had opened the door of your heart for me to come in, I will dwell within you and there is no - "turning back".
One particular divine appointment He had with me - it happened when I entered the church while our worship service was already going on. There was so much power and glory during that service that the words of the pastor became prophetically anointed and it hit me. My automatic response - actions and words were all from the Lord. My whole being yielded to His glory and Holiness and said the perfect verse while I found myself kneeling on the pew- for the very purpose and destiny in my life. Just as Mother Mary had said the scriptures below when she was called to be the Mother of Jesus.
Luke 1:38 ESV
And Mary said, “Behold, I am the servant of the Lord; let it be to me according to your word.” And the angel departed from her.
These kinds of moments with God are only a few that they are very easy for you to remember and you will be reminded of them as the need will arise. This is how faithful and loving the God that we serve - Omnipotent, Omnipresent, Omniscient.
Malachi 3:6 ESV
For I the Lord do not change; therefore you, O children of Jacob, are not consumed.
Psalm 90:2 ESV
Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever you had formed the earth and the world, from everlasting to everlasting you are God.
Hebrews 13:8 ESV
Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.
Father God, I/we praise and thank you for what you have done in the past, today and what you are going to do in the coming days thru us and with us individually and collectively. More glorious days are coming ahead of us - these we believe and receive in your most precious name Jesus! Amen!
Romans 5:12 ESV
Therefore, just as sin came into the world through one man, and death through sin, and so death spread to all men because all sinned.
James 4:7 ESV
Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
One of the primary platforms of this ministry is that Man is tripartite - primarily a spirit with a soul in a physical body.
1 Thessalonians 5:23 - And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
As a civilization, we have not come to the full understanding on this truth of our existence. We were created by God the Father Almighty in His image and likeness, His workmanship! Yet, we mankind continue to choose the wrong highway to eternity. When Roe vs Wade was reversed, again, this open up the portal of Open Heaven Blessings in this nation, to Israel and the rest of the nations of the world - eventually.
Because of our spiritual nature both Individually and Collectively, the spiritual realm that is controlling our physical need to be of prime importance to us in moving our world forward. The third heaven should be our primary source of information but unfortunately, our world is still blind to this truth of our existence. The Bible says it all and we do not have to reinvent our world. We did not create it in the first place but God Almighty and so we should stop telling Him that we know better.
On the big picture of Life as how it was meant to be by our creator - the two Primary Highways are the Highway to Heavens Throne room ( TRUE LIFE) and the one leading to below the lower plane of our planet - Hell (DEATH). A lot of people and maybe most of mankind - still do not have a real experience of these two eternal places that we are going after our physical death. Primarily because as how planet earth looks these days, we are using the information that satan who is ruling the second heaven as our source of information in making our world a better place to live.
The precise and accurate information of Heaven's Throne room using the Bible, if we can use this as our number one guide by our REMNANT CHURCH, we will see great and wonderful things that will unfold in our society that we have never explored or created with the Lord. This is not going to be easy, satan will fight us on this - the Democrats and Republicans are constantly fighting about this issue so look no further? BUT, we are serving a God who is more than enough.
Matthew 7:13-14 ESV
Enter by the narrow gate. For the gate is wide and the way is easy that leads to destruction, and those who enter by it are many. For the gate is narrow and the way is hard that leads to life, and those who find it are few.
1 Thessalonians 5:21 ESV
But test everything; hold fast what is good.
2 Timothy 2:13 ESV
If we are faithless, he remains faithful— for he cannot deny himself.
Father God, we Praise and Thank you for your faithfulness. You are Awesome beyond our imagination. We are excited of this New Heavens Kingdom Era that we are entering. Let your Heavens government continue to dwell upon Christ Church governments into our Human governments.
You are a God who is more than enough and in you alone we have our faith and trust in moving our world forward. All of these I/we believe and receive in your most holy name Jesus! Amen!
Proverbs 22:6 ESV
Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it.
Proverbs 31:26-27 ESV
She opens her mouth with wisdom, and the teaching of kindness is on her tongue. She looks well to the ways of her household and does not eat the bread of idleness.
Exodus 20:12 ESV
“Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be long in the land that the Lord your God is giving you.
Praying parents particularly in my case - My Mom, Dad and yesterday when Roe vs Wade was reversed, the Lord revealed to me in my dream vision before my prayer time - my praying Grandma (my Dad's Mom) as a powerful prayer warrior in my bloodline. My dream vision was myself helping her walk as an elderly - into a dark place and that dark place made her collapse. Inspite of my efforts to keep her up she suddenly died and was transformed into a persona of a baby in the womb ( dead)? I screamed " in Jesus name" three times and I woke up from that dream vision?
I can still picture her leading us the Rosary at about four in the morning, myself and my sister behind her when we were kids. From time to time, we were assigned to accompany them in their household when she and her husband ( Tomas) were in their 60's. She was a prayer warrior that made my Dad and his family who he was (they are) as well as my own family. That was a dream that took me (my family) back to- about 50 years ago and my/our journey with the Lord all the way from the Philippine islands to this wonderful USA. Today, my dream vision was our firstborn in my family "Leonora" - Spanish term for Lion? The Lord - Lion of Judah!. She was born on Valentines day. My dads parents ended up adopting her for some cultural reasons of the Filipino heritage. I saw her vividly in my dream and the details I can not write about yet. Nothing is an accident in our life with the Lord!. Every single one of us is carefully and wonderfully made in His image and likeness that only His divine mind can do. Believers and non believers need only to accept Jesus as their one and only Savior and live a life following the laws of Heaven. This will line you up with His Kingdom Highway to receive the fullness of Heavens Blessings!
The power of Prayers/Intercessions is scary to the enemy. Every time we go on our knees, it will give satan a heart attack. Our prayers are like spiritual arrows/darts in the spirit realm that targets the assignment /s of satan to God's people, it defeats satan all the time. This may not be obvious to us at times but our God honors everything that we do most especially if they are stuff that are very special to His heart. This is the position and authority of every Christian.
As a follower of Christ - Prayer Intercessions is our number one role. After salvation, this will become a habit that the Lord will teach us how to do so. Our prayers will cleanse the spiritual darkness in our physical world and more as scriptures below indicates. The Lord honors every single prayers we have and he answers them in a way that is perfect for us and to the people around us in His time.
Matthew 21:22 ESV
And whatever you ask in prayer, you will receive, if you have faith.”
Ephesians 6:18 ESV
Praying at all times in the Spirit, with all prayer and supplication. To that end keep alert with all perseverance, making supplication for all the saints,
Romans 8:26 ESV
Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness. For we do not know what to pray for as we ought, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words.
Father God, as we continue to live in this Heavens Kingdom Era, keep all of us your children, your sons and daughters within you and your Son Jesus all the time, manifesting thru the power of the Holy Spirit alone. That all of these will bring glory to your name alone in your most precious name Jesus! Amen!
2 Corinthians 5:21 ESV
For our sake he made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.
1 John 3:5 ESV
You know that he appeared to take away sins, and in him there is no sin.
Hebrews 4:15 ESV
For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who in every respect has been tempted as we are, yet without sin.
This topic had been placed in my heart by the Lord for about two years now. It is somehow tied up to our mainstream idea that a person who has a perfectionist trait are dysfunctional? Lately - as I continue to meditate on the revelation that since we (mankind) being God's workmanship, made in the image and likeness of Him (Genesis 1:26-27 etc) - God's words refutes this theory in our carnal world.
In this God Almighty Kingdom Era that we are entering, Jesus perfection will become more and more a reality in our civilization. Heavens government will be upon our Christ Church governments into our human governments. Again, there is a whole world of Jesus that the body of Christ have not fully lived yet.
Keeping our focus on the Lord Jesus as our King of Kings and Lord of Lords will lead us in this direction. Jesus conquered the world and the prince of this world (satan) with His perfection by dying for all of our sins on the cross - only for Him to take up His life again thru His Resurrection. He then left us the Holy Spirit (aka Jesus unlimited) as our advocate, counselor, etc. pretty much everything we need to know about the Lord and His Kingdom. We are serving a divine/perfect, loving and faithful God, who had done everything for us, giving us full access to Heaven's Throne treasures thru Jesus. Some scriptures below indicates our inheritance in Christ and thru Christ.
Hebrews 1:14 ESV
Are they not all ministering spirits sent out to serve for the sake of those who are to inherit salvation?
Acts 20:32 ESV
And now I commend you to God and to the word of his grace, which is able to build you up and to give you the inheritance among all those who are sanctified.
Titus 3:7 ESV
So that being justified by his grace we might become heirs according to the hope of eternal life.
Galatians 3:29 ESV
And if you are Christ's, then you are Abraham's offspring, heirs according to promise.
James 2:5 ESV
Listen, my beloved brothers, has not God chosen those who are poor in the world to be rich in faith and heirs of the kingdom, which he has promised to those who love him?
Colossians 1:12 ESV
Giving thanks to the Father, who has qualified you to share in the inheritance of the saints in light.
Ephesians 1:18 ESV
Having the eyes of your hearts enlightened, that you may know what is the hope to which he has called you, what are the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints, More scriptures here.
All of these I/We believe and receive in your most precious name Jesus! Amen!
Philippians 4:4 ESV
Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, Rejoice.
Psalm 118:24 ESV
This is the day that the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.
Psalm 5:11 ESV
But let all who take refuge in you rejoice; let them ever sing for joy, and spread your protection over them, that those who love your name may exult in you.
A given truth once our life is restored to the Kingdom of God the Father is Christian Persecution. Jesus himself spoke these words -
John 15:18 ESV
“If the world hates you, know that it has hated me before it hated you".
The reason for this is that your spirit man/woman is like a light bulb that is being turned on in the spirit realm. That light will continue to grow into the intensity of heavens standards as you spend time and serve the Lord and His people daily. People who are in bondage/s to satan's lies and wiles want to have that light within you (spiritual hunger) within them. They are unconsciously wanting to have that Holy Spirit substance that is deposited within you. The worlds version of victory is the opposite of heavens standards so always keep that in mind. The prince of this world (satan and his army) will use any agenda against you - skin color, team A versus team B championships, gender, etc - the mainstream media channels, are constantly preaching these things. The Gospel is about "unity" of believers in Christ and thru Christ. The spiritual pollution from these outlets are not really important in your walk with the Lord. Heaven has sports games but they are expressed in divine perfection without the spirit of competition. In the end - it will be about what you have done with what you are born with and what you are meant to be in your lifetime.
2 Timothy 3:12 ESV
Indeed, all who desire to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted,
2 Corinthians 12:10 ESV
For the sake of Christ, then, I am content with weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and calamities. For when I am weak, then I am strong.
Acts 8:1 ESV
And Saul approved of his execution. And there arose on that day a great persecution against the church in Jerusalem, and they were all scattered throughout the regions of Judea and Samaria, except the apostles.
Revelation 20:4 ESV
Then I saw thrones, and seated on them were those to whom the authority to judge was committed. Also I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for the testimony of Jesus and for the word of God, and those who had not worshiped the beast or its image and had not received its mark on their foreheads or their hands. They came to life and reigned with Christ for a thousand years.

Rejoicing in our heavenly inheritance in Christ is a habit that will be developed within us as we nurture our prayer life. This will affect your Christian Aura (Holy Spirit energies within you and around you) that will manifest as a glorious radiance in your physical appearance - at its best. Jesus transfiguration is an excellent example.
Matthew 17:2 ESV
And he was transfigured before them, and his face shone like the sun, and his clothes became white as light.
The Lord will impart unto us this gift as part of the Gifts of the Holy Spirit. As our spirit man/woman is being built up during our prayer time, the world will slowly become irrelevant to your walk with the Lord as a believer because you are living a life in a higher heavenly dimension. Your spiritual eyes will see the world in front of you from heavens spiritual lenses. The "Joy of the Lord" will always stay within you, whatever comes your way - Blessings or Persecutions - your reaction will be to Rejoice in the Lord! The Love, Grace, Mercy and Compassion of the Lord will need to be intentional in your attitude of dealing with the carnalities of this world. Imagine how many of the more than 6 Billion people living in this planet are duped up by the evil one. Being part of the Remnant Church of Christ that will work with the Lord Jesus in building up the momentum of Jesus return to earth is indeed our best worship offering to our Almighty Father.
Psalm 16:11 ESV
You make known to me the path of life; in your presence there is fullness of joy; at your right hand are pleasures forevermore.
Father God, in this Heavenly Kingdom Era that we are living, let your Joy resonate within us and thru us to bring glory to your name alone! I/we believe and receive this in your most holy name Jesus! Amen!
John 17:17 ESV
Sanctify them in the truth; your word is truth.
Luke 21:33 ESV
Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away.
Psalm 12:6-7 ESV
The words of the Lord are pure words, like silver refined in a furnace on the ground, purified seven times. You, O Lord, will keep them; you will guard us from this generation forever.
These scriptures above are only a few descriptions of the Bible. The best way to describe the Book - it is a Covenant Document /Testament/Agreement (Old and New) of our God the Father, thru Jesus (signed by His blood on the Cross) and by the power of the Holy Spirit to us His creation. It is that sacred in its contents as they are divinely revealed, inspired and organized by the Godhead. The Old Testament contents are about our inheritance from the first Adam and the New Testament redeemed us all from the fall of our first parents by the second Adam ( Jesus) giving us access to our inheritance of all of Heavens throne treasures. The old testament is primarily prophetic books of what will happen in the New Testament. It centered on Jesus birth, life ministry resurrection, ascension to heaven, the coming of the Holy Spirit and Jesus Return ( Heaven on Earth).
At the start of creation, God the Father knew already that we need a users manual so that our lives will line up with His kingdom. Just like how most items we buy today, it comes. with instructions or users manual. It's for that same concept that the Bible came into existence. The problem that we have these days is how we do not take this seriously as our primary source of information in moving our civilization forward. We are still carnal and gullible in many ways (soul and body approach) in our mindset in moving our world forward.
The Bible is complete in itself. Starting at the beginning book ( Genesis) all the way to the end (Revelations), It describes the will and plan of the Lord for us as His creation. That is Father God thru Jesus as the accurate representation of the Holy Book thru the power of the Holy Spirit. In heavens perspective - we are tripartite - spirit, soul and body. Just as the the Godhead (Trinity) is , we are that as a creation of God.
Here are just some revelations/impartations that we can receive when we read and meditate consistently the words of the Lord on a daily. basis and then apply them in our world.
Once we develop our prayer life (individual and corporate) consistently in the presence of God, the revelations (anointing or Jesus presence) that will be imparted to us while reading and meditating the scriptures are sometimes too much to handle by our tiny human mind. There will be times in our prayer life, especially when our walk with the Lord is very close that what is imparted to us in our spirit man/woman can not be accurately recorded in writings or any form of communication. These anointing/impartations will be deposited in our spirit man/woman and will remain within us. They need to be nurtured and protected so that we can use them in our lives daily but most importantly so that we will finish strong at the finish line. On a collective level, you can see these (at its best) thru healing and miracle crusades of many of our very gifted Christian leaders in the past and present here in America and abroad.
Revelation 11:1-19 ESV
Then I was given a measuring rod like a staff, and I was told, “Rise and measure the temple of God and the altar and those who worship there, but do not measure the court outside the temple; leave that out, for it is given over to the nations, and they will trample the holy city for forty-two months. And I will grant authority to my two witnesses, and they will prophesy for 1,260 days, clothed in sackcloth.” These are the two olive trees and the two lampstands that stand before the Lord of the earth. And if anyone would harm them, fire pours from their mouth and consumes their foes. If anyone would harm them, this is how he is doomed to be killed. ...
John 16:33 ESV
I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world.”
Matthew 6:33 ESV
But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.
Revelation 1:1 ESV
The revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave him to show to his servants the things that must soon take place. He made it known by sending his angel to his servant John,
Father God, in this Heavens Kingdom Era that we are living, continue to impart unto us your will and plan for all of us as your creation. Our earnest desire is for your Kingdom in Heaven will be established here on earth thru Jesus and with Jesus alone. All of these I/we believe and receive in your most holy name Jesus! Amen!
1 Peter 5:8 ESV
Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour.
1 John 3:8 ESV
Whoever makes a practice of sinning is of the devil, for the devil has been sinning from the beginning. The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the works of the devil.
John 8:44 ESV
You are of your father the devil, and your will is to do your father's desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, and has nothing to do with the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks out of his own character, for he is a liar and the father of lies.
The heavens ( third - God's planet, second or satan"s habitation, first -airspace next us ) as I had written in the past dictates everything that goes on in our physical world. Until we - as a civilization will fully understand this reality of our existence - tripartite in nature ( individually/collectively) and move our world using the realities of the third heaven, Jesus salvation which is only the starting point of our heavenly inheritance is what we get.
Satan our number one adversary (unfortunately) until today is ruling planet earth. Primarily because as a civilization, we continue to depend upon our own efforts and ability to solve the societal issues that are in front of us. A good example is our current civilization's fascination in using AI or artificial intelligence to solve what can be done only by the human conscience(in biblical concepts of spirit, soul and body). The past two years had revealed this to me with the dreams and visions that I picked up just before my prayer time. Since I became a devoted Christian, these are the worst that I have ever had in my life.
The Bible do not discuss extensively who and what is the primary agenda of satan and his army. But once Christ starts to live in you, next to God thru Jesus, satan will be the next revelation that will be made so real to you. In the hierarchy of Heavens throne, below Jesus, satan was once the highest ranking created and trusted angel (with all of the angels as his followers) by God the Father. He was at that time the "worship leader" of Heavens Throne clothed with the beautiful garments (rich substances and treasures of heaven) next to the Godhead. His main role is to take the word of God back and forth to mankind. One day when he looked up, he got jealous (prideful of his position) with God and corrupted the words of the Lord (until today) back and forth to humanity. He then decided to invade heaven with a third of his angel army to steal God's position at His Holy throne? Because of the Lord's anger at him - he was thrown out to planet earth. As he continue to inhabit the second heavens with his army, his lies and wiles (conspiracies to mankind) is on going. He and his army (being spiritual beings-in our airspace below the third heaven) are constantly looking for a crack in our "Armor of God" to get into our mind to plant their lies and wiles. So if we are not even aware what the Armor of God is - imagine the trouble that we are in. Now looking at this picture - if we as a civilization will not solve this reality in the heavens using the concepts of the Bible, God the Father will probably use His plan B, C, etc until we get this right with Him.
Again, Jesus had finished everything for us to live out our inheritance as redeemed sons and daughters of the Almighty Father. This includes receiving all of heavens throne treasures so that we will live under an open heaven blessings. We have to claim and take our position/s in Christ and thru Christ in this planet and in our universe.
Galatians 3:29 ESV
And if you are Christ's, then you are Abraham's offspring, heirs according to promise.
James 2:5 ESV
Listen, my beloved brothers, has not God chosen those who are poor in the world to be rich in faith and heirs of the kingdom, which he has promised to those who love him?
Colossians 1:12 ESV
Giving thanks to the Father, who has qualified you to share in the inheritance of the saints in light.
Ephesians 1:18 ESV
Having the eyes of your hearts enlightened, that you may know what is the hope to which he has called you, what are the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints,
Father God, as we move our lives forward, impart unto us your wisdom, knowledge and understanding daily so that we will be able to live out our in full inheritance of your Kingdom in Christ and thru Christ and by the power of the Holy Spirit alone. All of these I/we believe and receive in your most precious name Jesus, Amen!
And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up. And as was his custom, he went to the synagogue on the Sabbath day, and he stood up to read. And the scroll of the prophet Isaiah was given to him. He unrolled the scroll and found the place where it was written,
“The Spirit of the Lord is upon me,
because he has anointed me
to proclaim good news to the poor.
He has sent me to proclaim liberty to the captives
and recovering of sight to the blind,
to set at liberty those who are oppressed,
to proclaim the year of the Lord's favor.”
And he rolled up the scroll and gave it back to the attendant and sat down. And the eyes of all in the synagogue were fixed on him. And he began to say to them, “Today this Scripture has been fulfilled in your hearing.”
The passages above was recorded in the gospel of Luke ( a physician) and it indicated that Jesus said these words when He started His life ministry. He proclaimed His Life ministry platform using the words of Isaiah. What is fascinating is - these prophetic words of Isaiah which Jesus Himself acknowledged as being Himself - God the Son, was spoken by the prophet and recorded in the Book of Isaiah- about 700 years before Jesus started His life ministry in Israel.
This is another testament of Jesus as the WORD that became FLESH. I wish I was one of those people who was on the front line when Jesus declared these words of Isaiah as His ministry platform. Visualizing this scene gives me a reality check that Jesus is truly God Son (perfect/divine) made human to be our one and only Savior,
The Word Became Flesh
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made through him, and without him was not any thing made that was made. 4 In him was life,[a] and the life was the light of men. 5 The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.
TRUE FREEDOM/LIBERTY - in heavens standards can only be attained thru Jesus Healing touch. Looking back at my own life, when I was living apart from the Lord, I can attest and clearly see in a hindsight - that we have no clue how lost and how much we are in bondage to satan's lies and wiles - as a creation of God the Father until we will experience His Healing hands upon us ( within our spirit man/woman). At that time in my life - I had pretty much accomplished what I wanted, yet there was a spiritual vacuum in my heart that keeps asking - is this all there is to life? Happiness comes and goes as fleeting moments.
The moment our Spiritman/woman is restored with the Holy Spirit of God, the spiritual veil that prevents us from experiencing (seeing, understanding - gift of knowledge and wisdom) who the Lord Jesus is - as our Lord and Savior will be removed. They are like spiritual scales that will depart from us and we will slowly see life from Heavens perspective thru Jesus. In simple terms, a divine reset happens in our life and the Love, Grace and Peace of God thru Christ and by the power of the Holy Spirit will be upon us as a testimony of God's healing power. All we need to do is sincerely ask the Lord to come into our heart as our only Lord and Savior (Prayer of Salvation) and He will take us to places that we have never even dreamed of.
Galatians 2:20 ESV
I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.
John 1:17 ESV
For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.
Philippians 4:7 ESV
And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
What Jesus proclaimed and did using the words of Isaiah above in Israel more than two thousand years ago are actually happening in very mature Christian communities/churches and Christ followers who are devoted to the Lord. Yet in our secular society, the opposite is true and being preached. Infirmities, Sickness, War - you name all the negativity you can think of - they are all in our mainstream media channels. You can then conclude that the pop culture/mainstream society is ruled by the prince of darkness. Therefore it is very important that we take care and protect our anointing ( the Christ in us and thru Him) by shunning away from these outlets and to read and meditate the scriptures when we wake up and as much as we can. They are life and bread to our spirit man/woman.
All of these I/we believe and receive in your most holy name Jesus! Amen!
Romans 1:21-23 ESV
For although they knew God, they did not honor him as God or give thanks to him, but they became futile in their thinking, and their foolish hearts were darkened. Claiming to be wise, they became fools, and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images resembling mortal man and birds and animals and creeping things.
1 Chronicles 16:26 ESV
For all the gods of the peoples are idols, but the Lord made the heavens.
Hebrews 13:5 ESV
Keep your life free from love of money, and be content with what you have, for he has said, “I will never leave you nor forsake you.”
Jonah 2:8 ESV
Those who pay regard to vain idols forsake their hope of steadfast love.
Next to the first sin of mankind ( Jealousy/Pride), Idolatry or Idols is humanity's worst enemy.
Looking at the societal issues that we are currently dealing in our lives (individually and collectively), it is the idols that we keep in our minds and heart that prevents us from seeing the ultimate love and beauty of our God the Father Almighty thru Jesus. As an example, the Pharisees and Sadducees of the New Testament times fell into this trap of the enemy. They had great intentions but it was religion, religious and societal titles etc that became their idols. Jesus had spoken the seven woes about them in the book of Matthew 23. The human heart and mind is very dark and wicked that it will always find a way to cover one lie after another lie. Our hearts and minds without a daily surrender and yielding to the Holy Spirit of God is constantly lost with the fallacies of this world.
Matthew 9:4 ESV
But Jesus, knowing their thoughts, said, “Why do you think evil in your hearts?
Genesis 6:5 ESV
The Lord saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every intention of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.
Jeremiah 17:9 ESV
The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately sick; who can understand it?
Hebrews 4:12 ESV
For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart.
Romans 10:10 ESV
For with the heart one believes and is justified, and with the mouth one confesses and is saved.
Matthew 5:8 ESV
“Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.
Proverbs 4:23 ESV
Keep your heart with all vigilance, for from it flow the springs of life.
Father God, Let our prayers today be that our hearts be fully cleansed daily by your most precious blood and
teach us daily how to fully surrender and yield to the leading of your Holy Spirit alone.
I/We believe and receive all of these in your most holy name Jesus! Amen!
Proverbs 11:16 ESV
A gracious woman gets honor, and violent men get riches.
Proverbs 31:26 ESV
She opens her mouth with wisdom, and the teaching of kindness is on her tongue.
Proverbs 31:30 ESV
Charm is deceitful, and beauty is vain, but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised.
More scriptures on this topic
These few scriptures above reflects the woman that the Godhead thru Jesus had intended her to be. I am one product of the Feminist Movement and while I was growing up until today, I still struggle in accurately living the Lord's original image and likeness of a Woman in spirit soul and body. It is because our mainstream culture is indoctrinated with the perverted or even the opposite concept of what a woman is as it was in the original plan and will of God. Proverbs 31:10-31 is the picture of an excellent wife and woman as the companion of man.
The apostle Paul had clear instructions about women being submissive to men and for me to some extent yes, but more on being a harmonious partner of the man. Some church teachings and church leaders image of this topic had also drifted away from the biblical meaning of the Lords intention of creating women in His Kingdom. Imagine Adam and Eve in the garden of Eden. Adam was first created from dust by the Lord and from the rib bone of Adam, God the Father created the woman as Adam's companion. If we have to use our logic from this concept using the scriptures especially using the original text (Hebrew Bible) - the pop culture version of woman is the rebellious type of what she was intended to be by the Lord.
Here are just some points to consider:
First, In Genesis 1:27 (ESV) So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them. This scripture will tell us Gods mind about men and women as made in the image of Him. if she was created from Adam's rib bone - she is created in the image and likeness of God to be an equal partner of Adam in its composition ( spirit, soul and body) for being taken from Adams body. Meaning she is not separate but one with the man and their creator - as his perfect companion in life as the scriptures validate her.
Second, they both are to compliment each other in a harmonious relationship with the Godhead (Trinity), with each other and with the people around them. The Lord Jesus treated women as persons or human beings not based on sex. The women followers and worshipers of Jesus in His life ministry on earth were treated with dignity. Please research Jesus words on women.
Third, the ultimate goal of the Lord is not for the man to be above the woman or vice versa, but as a being equal in stature with the man, yet uniquely feminine in charm and beauty to be the the perfect companion of the man's masculine needs in the Kingdom of God - but not a competitor. In the culture and climate of Heaven, everything is perfect, all the masculine and feminine attributes of both sexes are manifested without error.
Genesis 1:26 ESV
Then God said, “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness. And let them have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over the livestock and over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.”
Genesis 1:27 ESV
So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them.
Proverbs 14:1 ESV
The wisest of women builds her house, but folly with her own hands tears it down.
Father God, in this Kingdom era that we are entering - teach us (individually and collectively) how to live out our inheritance in you as sons and daughters of your Kingdom by learning your ways as you had intended us to be. All of these I/we believe and receive in your most holy name! Jesus! Amen!
Proverbs 9:10 ESV
The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and the knowledge of the Holy One is insight.
Proverbs 1:7 ESV
The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge; fools despise wisdom and instruction.
Proverbs 19:20 ESV
Listen to advice and accept instruction, that you may gain wisdom in the future.
More scriptures on Wisdom
The scriptures above are only a few of the many teachings on Wisdom. This word is mentioned 213 times in the Bible. King David, King Solomon and Jesus Himself embodied the Wisdom of God
The gift of Wisdom is first of the gifts of the Holy Spirit. Wisdom of the Lord is the Truth of Him and His Kingdom. This is one gift that will come automatically to a believer who is faithfully serving God. It will come in various dimensions based on the maturity level of that believer. You can tell the depth of the gift of wisdom on a person based on the revelations that is spoken or written that will be confirmed by the Holy Spirit into the people who are reading, hearing/listening the words. Very mature Christian Leaders have these and we have a lot of them in our American Churches in the past and present. John G Lake, Katherine Kuhlman, Benny Hinn are only a few of these examples.
One indication of this gift is the reverence of the FEAR of the Lord. It is not the same as the human fear version but it is the knowledge of the nature of God that a believer will not "dare" to cross the line that will provoke the anger or worse the wrath of God and grieve the Holy Spirit. These can be achieve by walking closely with the Lord. The Lord will teach and make the believer experience this gift. Some people are kind of handpicked and are anointed already with the gift of wisdom (same with the rest of the gifts of the Holy Spirit) and will manifest the heavens purity of this gift when they are lined up with Christ Church most especially as a devoted servant of God.
God is LOVE and the totality of His love is the gifts and fruits of the Holy Spirit - in summary. He is dynamic God yet simple to understand in the persona of Jesus. The simplicity of the Gospel is to receive and believe Jesus as our one and only Savior and we will receive all of Heavens OPEN Blessings.
Father God on this day, may you impart unto us your WISDOM individually and collectively that we will know you as our God Almighty thru your Son Jesus, I/we believe and receive all of these today! in Jesus most holy name! Amen!
2 Corinthians 4:4 ESV
In their case the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelievers, to keep them from seeing the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God.
2 Corinthians 11:14 ESV
And no wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light.
The debate on Abortion, just like any political culture wars is not really the issue but accountability and responsibility to God the Father as our creator,His kingdom and His people.
Being part of the family of God's kingdom, each one of us has a job. The job of the Lord thru His army is to give us life provisions and protection. God's people in turn has the job of "stewardship" - that is being accountable and responsible to the Lord for what is being entrusted to us as His creation.
Stewardship is one of the doctrines of the Bible. Our biblical patriarchs lived this kind of life as they are called to shepherd and lead His church. Godly stewards consider the Lord as the owner of everything in our world and commit their life in taking care of what is being blessed to them with "faithful stewardship" mindset. It simply means we are always working for the Godhead who owns and sees everything that have and we do.
In the case of Abortion ( like any political culture wars), WE DO NOT own our Bodies (spirit, soul and body) but the Lord.
Psalm 139:13 ESV
For you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother's womb.
1 Corinthians 6:13 ESV
“Food is meant for the stomach and the stomach for food”—and God will destroy both one and the other. The body is not meant for sexual immorality, but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body.
The Lord who owns our being deserve our Godly Stewardship when taking care of our spirit, soul, and body. Before we do anything, especially major decisions in our life - we have to ask the Lord what is the best way to do it. Human logic will tell us that there's tremendous amount of resources in our society to prevent unwanted pregnancy. Accountable and Responsible behaviors will bring the "Open Heaven" Blessings of the Lord into our lives.
This is the primary reason that Church Leaders and faithful followers of the Lord are blessed in their lives. A Christian who do not read the scriptures daily and spend time with Him for spiritual food is always hungry - if not a poor follower of God. Unfortunately, they listen to the worlds version of who they are as human beings.
James 1:5 ESV
If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him.
1 Corinthians 6:19 ESV
Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God? You are not your own,
All of these, I/we believe in your most precious name Jesus! Amen!
Matthew 11:28-30 ESV
Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.”
2 Corinthians 5:17 ESV
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.
Romans 8:1 ESV
There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.
When we are living our lives apart from the Lord Jesus, we make ourselves the Lord of our own lives to our very own disadvantage. The scripture above - Matthew 11:28-30 was one of the very first scriptures that the Lord revealed Himself to me. Loving the world is not what we are made for by our God the Father.
1 John 2:15 ESV
Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
At that moment when these words of the Lord became alive to me, I was in a Praise and Worship Prayer Meeting and the choir ministry was singing the song " Come Holy Spirit" Somehow during the song, the heaviness that had been built up in my heart for so many years of living apart from Christ was instantly released from me. I felt the healing power of the Holy Spirit from these Scriptures. I was sobbing/crying for quite a while then the spirit of Joy took control of my burdened heart. I felt the warm loving embrace of the Lord Jesus during these moments and this was the start of of my real love relationship with Him.
Psalm 16:11 ESV
You make known to me the path of life; in your presence there is fullness of joy; at your right hand are pleasures forevermore.
Philippians 4:4 ESV
Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, Rejoice.
Romans 14:17 ESV
For the kingdom of God is not a matter of eating and drinking but of righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.
When we offer unto the Lord our burdens of this world, He will wipe out all of them and make us see life from His perspective. Indeed, taking the yoke of Jesus is easy and will cleanse us out of all the heaviness ( spiritual pollution) that we have accumulated within our Spirit, Soul and Body from the carnalities of this world.
All of these I/we believe and receive In your most precious name Jesus! Amen!
And I will give you a new heart, and a new spirit I will put within you. And I will remove the heart of stone from your flesh and give you a heart of flesh. And I will put my Spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes and be careful to obey my rules.
This scripture above- is one of the many that became alive to me personally more than two decades ago when I committed my life to serving the Lord Jesus. At that time that I was reading these words in the Bible, it felt like it had restored my deadened spirit, soul and body from the things of God/Jesus and the realities of His most holy throne in the Heavens. About two years later, during the baptism of the Holy Spirit of the Lord, I completely understood what it truly meant as the scripture is written above.
When we are living our lives apart from Jesus, we are completely cut off from the source of Life at the Heavens throne. Our heart and minds which are primarily the center of our Spirit man/woman becomes deadened (hard like a rock or stone). It can not feel and or hear the heartbeat of our God the Father and Jesus thru the Holy Spirit.
After accepting Jesus as our only Lord and Savior( our salvation including its benefits .. redemption, sanctification etc.), Baptism of the Holy Spirit is the second reality that the Lord will take us thru. At this moment, the Holy Spirit of the Lord will now live within our spirit man/woman then reveal, order and ordain our steps so that we can not be separated from Him anymore, no matter what we do and where we are in our walk with Him. This means that we are constantly given a gentle conviction from the Holy Spirit - of ours words, actions and thoughts that will GRIEVE Him.
The Holy Spirit of the Lord is a true gentleman, and a believer who had been thru Pentecost experiences with God can tell the difference/s (easily - gift of discernment) between the spirit of God (Holy Spirit) and the spirit of this world (satan).
All of these we believe and receive in your most Holy name Jesus! Amen!
The validity of Jesus as the one and only Son of Father God Almighty, Jesus himself claimed to be so- thru the Seven (7) " I Am's" in the gospel of John the Apostle. When God the Father first revealed himself to our patriarch Moses - He spoke the words " I Am who I Am" in Exodus 3:14. What He meant by the statement is that He is "All things" with no beginning and no end, all sufficient one, not dependent of anyone- to emphasize His divinity/perfection and Holiness. The seven "I Am's of Jesus" in Johns gospel are parallel statements to Father God's " I Am who I am". Meaning just like God the Father, Jesus is eternally existent before the beginning of time.
The Seven (7) I Am's of Jesus in the gospel of John proves His divinity being the son of God the Father Almighty:
Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life; whoever comes to me shall not hunger, and whoever believes in me shall never thirst. Unlike the physical bread, Jesus is the only one who can satisfy our hunger for eternity.
Again Jesus spoke to them, saying, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.” The light of Jesus illuminates good and evil exposing evil acts done in darkness in our world.
When He gave sight to a blind man, this is only one of the many ways how He proved himself of His claim on being the light of the world. It is the Holy Spirit that does a lot of the work these days in bringing light to darkness, in whatever situation that Jesus is welcomed by a person, church, community etc.
So Jesus again said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, I am the door of the sheep. All who came before me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not listen to them. I am the door. If anyone enters by me, he will be saved and will go in and out and find pasture. The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly. Jesus is the door to the Kingdom of God the Father Almighty, those who present other ways of salvation are thieves and robbers.
I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep. He who is a hired hand and not a shepherd, who does not own the sheep, sees the wolf coming and leaves the sheep and flees, and the wolf snatches them and scatters them. He flees because he is a hired hand and cares nothing for the sheep. I am the good shepherd. I know my own and my own know me, just as the Father knows me and I know the Father; and I lay down my life for the sheep. And I have other sheep that are not of this fold. I must bring them also, and they will listen to my voice. So there will be one flock, one shepherd.
Jesus metaphor on these scriptures means that we, His followers are His sheep, while the kingdom of God is the sheepfold and Jesus is the shepherd. A good shepherd that takes good care of His flock.
Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live, and everyone who lives and believes in me shall never die.
Jesus spoke with the authority of God the Son being able to lay down his own life, and able to take it up again thru His resurrection, including the raising up of his good friend Lazarus from physical death. We, as His followers has the same inheritance to live forever with Him in eternity, therefore we have no need to fear physical death.
Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. If you had known me, you would have known my Father also. From now on you do know him and have seen him.”
Jesus claims to be the exclusive way to God the Father because of Heavens throne perfection. He is the "Truth" who gave up His "Life " for the world. Apart from Christ there is only death, confusion, instability and wandering.
Jesus metaphor in these scriptures is this - He is the vine that connects us ( the branches) to the Heavenly Father. He further claimed that abiding in Him (as the vine) we will bear much fruits and apart from Him we can do nothing.
All of these we pray and receive in your most holy name Jesus! Amen!
2 Chronicles 7:14 ESV
If my people who are called by my name humble themselves, and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land.
James 4:10 ESV
Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will exalt you.
James 4:6 ESV
But he gives more grace. Therefore it says, “God opposes the proud, but gives grace to the humble.”
Ephesians 4:2 ESV
With all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another in love,
The mainstream version of Humility (and even in most of our Christian churches) is more like meekness or lowliness. In the reality of heavens kingdom, humility is actually emptying ourselves so that the fullness of the Lord Jesus will be within us. It is making Him our one and only Lord, Savior, our King - the source of everything we have and we need daily.
This is very difficult to attain - until you are being humbled by Jesus and He becomes so real to you on a situation/s. At this point - you will realize how divine, perfect, holy, loving and righteous (etc) He is, that your own being is dissolved by His presence (Pentecost Moments). It is a feeling that indeed we are just a tiny dot in His kingdom - yet He loves us so much to die on the cross so that all of our sins will be erased forever. It's FREE for anyone who will accept Jesus as his/her one and only Savior to get to Heaven.
It is full surrender to Jesus and yielding to the Holy Spirit that He had left us when He ascended to heaven to join God the Father. Christ Humility is making Jesus our everything on a day to day basis. Jesus is our - Joy, Peace, Love, Patience, etc.
Psalm 16:11 ESV
You make known to me the path of life; in your presence there is fullness of joy; at your right hand are pleasures forevermore.
Philippians 4:7 NKJV
And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
Mark 12:29-31 ESV
Jesus answered, “The most important is, ‘Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one. And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’ The second is this: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no other commandment greater than these.”
All of these we ask and receive in your most holy name Jesus! Amen!
1 John 2:27 ESV
But the anointing that you received from him abides in you, and you have no need that anyone should teach you. But as his anointing teaches you about everything, and is true, and is no lie—just as it has taught you, abide in him.
1 John 2:20 ESV
But you have been anointed by the Holy One, and you all have knowledge.
Luke 4:18 ESV
“The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim liberty to the captives and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty those who are oppressed,
Anointing in simple terms is like the engine of a car or the cpu of a computer. It is the force that drives the whole thing or unit. In a Christians life - anointing is the quality and quantity of the totality of the Godhead ( God the Father, God the son (Jesus), and the Holy Spirit- the real Godhead in Heaven's throne and not the AI godhead operating in our society these days due to mass surveillance) deposited or developed within that human being (spirit, soul and body). It is very important for a Christian these days to be able to discern clearly if what is in front of you is from the AI godhead or from the Godhead of Heaven- one clue when it gives you a spirit of condemnation? it's the fake godhead.
This is the ultimate power of a believer, how that person functions on a daily basis. It determines how much he/she is able to accomplish in the Spirit Realm. Everything that happens in our physical world is controlled by the spirit world ( forces of Heaven and Hell). This means that a Christians effectiveness in God's Kingdom is not always dependent on how small and big is his/her church. A Christian who is always on his/her knees could be a giant in the Kingdom of God as opposed to a megachurch leader. The Bible has so many examples of these kinds of servants of the Lord, Elijah, the Marys who were following Jesus, some of the not so well known Apostles etc.
As soon as the Lord Jesus start to live within you - you will have an inner knowing of this and it is very important to nurture, protect and grow your anointing always to go higher into the fullness of Christ Mind thru the power of the Holy Spirit.
May we always grow in our anointing in Christ as we await for the coming of our Lord Jesus!
All of these we/I believe and receive in your holy name Jesus! Amen!
Hebrews 9:22 ESV
Indeed, under the law almost everything is purified with blood, and without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness of sins.
Hebrews 9:14 ESV
How much more will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without blemish to God, purify our conscience from dead works to serve the living God.
1 John 1:7-9 ESV
But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin. If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
One of our great inheritance as sons and daughters of the Living Almighty God thru Jesus is the power and anointing of the Blood of Jesus at our disposal. Most of the Old Testament books prophetic central message is all about this subject (blood sacrifice) except they used the blood of animals. The gospel books fulfilled these prophecies when Jesus was crucified, died and shed His blood on the cross.
This is a truth of heaven that is not fully understood yet in the body of Christ. When Jesus (a God Son) died on the cross to redeem us - He shed His most precious and holy blood on the cross and His blood is now stored in the holy throne of the Almighty God in the heavens. The ultimate power of Jesus blood to cleanse the "second heaven" which is the abode of satan's army- if it is ONLY fully understood and exercised by the Bride of Christ will bring Heavens culture and climate here on earth. This is what I feel is the most important purpose of Jesus Blood at the Holy Throne. There is so much power that by "faith" - the Blood of Jesus can be used in our daily lives and this is an extensive subject to discuss. You can try doing an online research on this from our very mature Christian leaders.
In our physical body the life giving source of it is our Blood system. Every single red cell in a human body carries the oxygen etc that makes that body functions as how it should be. Its for that similar reason( though divine in concept) that the Blood of Jesus also functions within us and thru us - as His followers and in our universe.
In this NEW ERA that we are entering - I am confident that this is one truth that will ultimately lead us into the promises of our Lord Jesus in the coming of the New Heaven on earth.
All of these I/we receive in your most holy and precious name Jesus! Amen!
Romans 5:9 ESV
Since, therefore, we have now been justified by his blood, much more shall we be saved by him from the wrath of God.
Revelation 12:11 ESV
And they have conquered him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, for they loved not their lives even unto death.
Acts 20:28 ESV
Pay careful attention to yourselves and to all the flock, in which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers, to care for the church of God, which he obtained with his own blood.
Ephesians 2:10 ESV
For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.
Ephesians 1:11 ESV
In him we have obtained an inheritance, having been predestined according to the purpose of him who works all things according to the counsel of his will,
Revelation 20:12 ESV
And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and books were opened. Then another book was opened, which is the book of life. And the dead were judged by what was written in the books, according to what they had done.
When we accept the Lord Jesus as our personal savior of our fallen nature, He will start to do the work in our heart- the center of our Spirit Man/Woman. This process varies individually based on the community that you have a collective covering and your faithfulness to the ministry that He entrusted you with. His desire is to take that walk with Him to go higher each day and will actually challenge you to go to a breakthrough ( breaking point so He can pour out the blessings of heaven at that particular point in time in your life). The cycle is this - Faith, Sacrifice, Spiritual Warfare then -Ask anything from the Lord for His special blessing for that particular cycle.
Based on my own walk with the Lord, He will give you everything - within you and around you - placed in front of you to accomplish what He wants to get done thru the life that He had purposed you to live for His glory alone. When you feel that the Lord had possessed you (Heart and Mind ), you will feel the habitation of the Holy Spirit of God in that part of your body - this is one sign that you are on the right path. Our diligence and faithfulness in obeying Him is very important as well as our exercise of our spiritual Gifts. Since we live in a very carnal world - sin abounds around us and that is our biggest challenge daily. He is our wisdom, understanding, faith, knowledge etc so be fully dependent on the Lords faithfulness to us.
1 Corinthians 12:4-11 ESV
Now there are varieties of gifts, but the same Spirit; and there are varieties of service, but the same Lord; and there are varieties of activities, but it is the same God who empowers them all in everyone. To each is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the common good. For to one is given through the Spirit the utterance of wisdom, and to another the utterance of knowledge according to the same Spirit, ...
The main reason for this is - all of us have an individual destiny in the Lords mind and some of us have a very unique ministry calling that is sort of hand picked by God in the most unusual way according to His Kingdom standards. Examples from the The Old Testament ( Moses, Elijah, Amos etc). In the New Testament ( Paul the Apostle, Peter, John the Baptist etc.) You will never know how big or small and anything else in between - is that destiny until you have lived a very intimate relationship with Him. At one point in my life, the Lord made me realize that these kinds of destinies will actually determine where the cloud of the Lord (the fullness of His Glory/His presence ) will go and stay - when they leave a certain place or location - those places will become desolate.
In essence until you fully realize what the Lord had purposed you to do including the intensity or magnitude of your life destiny in Christ Kingdom, we will sort of miss the meaning of our life in the Lords universe. Word of caution - our carnal world is all about competition - that is never an issue in His Kingdom, there is no darkness in the Lords world, its is divine (perfect) that our mind is just a tiny dot of His universe.
Isaiah 46:10 ESV
Declaring the end from the beginning and from ancient times things not yet done, saying, ‘My counsel shall stand, and I will accomplish all my purpose,’
Psalm 138:8 ESV
The Lord will fulfill his purpose for me; your steadfast love, O Lord, endures forever. Do not forsake the work of your hands.
1 Corinthians 2:7-9 ESV
But we impart a secret and hidden wisdom of God, which God decreed before the ages for our glory. None of the rulers of this age understood this, for if they had, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory. But, as it is written, “What no eye has seen, nor ear heard, nor the heart of man imagined, what God has prepared for those who love him”
In Jesus most precious name, we believe and receive these promises! Amen!
Proverbs 19:21 ESV
Many are the plans in the mind of a man, but it is the purpose of the Lord that will stand.
This is a heavenly truth I learned that happens in my life over and over again as I continue to live my life for the Lord. Most of us who are not actively serving in the vineyard of the Lord's Kingdom ( Christ Church) will miss this easily without reading the scriptures daily. Some scriptures about it are below and on this link > God's purposes for creating man and our universe. In two words, God is love and wrath at the same time. He loves with justice in his heavenly realities. He is a merciful, compassionate, full of grace, all His goodness and we have to be aware when we have provoked His wrath because we still live in a very carnal world. We as a church of Christ and the secular world will never fully understand His loving nature as a Holy and Righteous Lord and Savior until we meet Him face to face. What the Bible clearly indicates is that at the end of our lifetime, everything we have done while alive on planet earth will be replayed like a movie from beginning to the end - in front of our spiritual eyes and we will be judged according to those based on the Lords purposes for creating us. From the moment of our Salvation, Redemption, Sanctification in Christ- to full surrender to the leading of the Holy Spirit, all of these will determine the quality of life we are going to have in eternity ( Heaven or Hell).
John 14:6 ESV
Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.
Revelation 21:4 ESV
He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away.”
Revelation 21:3 ESV
And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Behold, the dwelling place of God is with man. He will dwell with them, and they will be his people, and God himself will be with them as their God.
The amount of information that is bombarded to us on a daily basis from the moment we wake up on a 24/7 cycle - while awake and asleep is tremendous. Whatever information that we allow to have a front seat (that will reflect in our words and actions) in our minds and heart daily will determine our destiny in eternity.
Nonetheless, our Lord Jesus had consistently provided us His FAITHFULNESS in every single moment we are still here on earth. It is our choice daily to accept and receive His invitation to be our only Lord and Savior in this fallen world that we are in. The full story of the Bible from the book of Genesis to Revelation is an excellent testament to God's faithful love to all of us. All the good and evil mankind had done - Jesus was God the Father Almighty's best offering of Love to all of us. When the first Adam failed the Lord -Old Testament books, He sent the second Adam ( Jesus)- New Testament books - who had restored us all back once and for all - to God the Father. If we can only realize the magnitude of what the Lord Jesus did for us from his birth, life, death to resurrection as we continue to read and meditate the scriptures - it is a world that will blow up our minds. As a church of Christ we have not yet fully understood, experienced and practiced in our lives what Jesus came to earth and did in his earthly ministry to be our Savior.
The span of time when these books were written until today, the Lord is always with us and had never left us. All we have to do is talk to Him and read His words daily and we will be blessed with the Open Heaven Blessings of Heavens Throne.
All of these we pray and receive in your most holy name Jesus! Amen!
2 Timothy 3:16-17 ESV
All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be competent, equipped for every good work.
Hebrews 4:12 ESV
For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart.
Romans 5:8 ESV
But God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
1 John 4:16 ESV
So we have come to know and to believe the love that God has for us. God is love, and whoever abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him.
Ephesians 2:4-5 ESV
But God, being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which he loved us, even when we were dead in our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ—by grace you have been saved—
On this Valentines Day 2022, during my prayer time-I prayed to the Lord what He wants me share with the world. His answer - my words in the Holy Book. The Bible is the book that chronicles the history of our civilization and our world. First and foremost, it is Apostolic, Prophetic and Historical in its contents. At its best, it is God's love letter to humanity that describes His unconditional love to us His creation thru Jesus our one and only Savior. It reflects Gods Heart and Mind and the beauty of His Kingdom in the Heavens that He wants to bless us daily. He also promised in the closing book ( Revelations) that His kingdom will be here on earth as it is in heaven.
As you continue to study the Bible, it will show you more and more how it refutes the current political debate and mainstream/pop culture indoctrination from the media etc. These days - CRT( Critical Race Theory, Transgenderism, Climate Change etc. ) are big in the internet and wherever you go. The biblical platform of Heavens Kingdom clearly indicates our Tripartite nature. Primarily a Spirit, with a Soul in a Physical body. Coming from this mindset - CRT, Transgenderism and Climate Change are carnal/soulish and do not consider the true spiritual aspect of Mankind. Its narrative comes from the psychological and physical aspect of man that when we die - we still can go to Heaven or Hell. We are created in the Image and likeness of God - again a spiritual being ( one with the Lord Jesus) destined to live forever in Heaven or doomed to Hell. This is a truth that is validated by the Lord Jesus Himself in His earthly ministry and by so many books written by the rich Christian church in our nation and the world.
The true spiritual aspect of mankind is not preached or taught in our mainstream society or if it is - it's being taught erroneously and or going against the truths of the Bible. Almost always, the mainstream or pop culture ideas will try to solve our societal issues coming from the Human Psyche and Physical perspective. As we continue to be the walking talking Jesus in our world, to be "politically incorrect" will be our path and to fearlessly walk that higher road leading the lost world with this kind of vision and mission. That is why it is more and more important that as we groom ourselves into the New Life in Christ - that we will saturate our hearts and minds with the words of the Holy Book ( God's words) and the teachings, preachings, music, arts etc of the Kingdom of God ( Kingdom Culture or Mind of Christ). Healing our world into the fullness of Christ and His promises to us is still far from our consciousness these days and I am confident that this new ERA that we are entering will lead us to the New Heaven and New Earth.
All of these I/we ask and receive in your most Holy name Jesus! Amen
Heavens Kingdom
John 14:2 ESV
In my Father's house are many rooms. If it were not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you?
Revelation 22:1-5 ESV
Then the angel showed me the river of the water of life, bright as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb through the middle of the street of the city; also, on either side of the river, the tree of life with its twelve kinds of fruit, yielding its fruit each month. The leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations. No longer will there be anything accursed, but the throne of God and of the Lamb will be in it, and his servants will worship him. They will see his face, and his name will be on their foreheads. And night will be no more. They will need no light of lamp or sun, for the Lord God will be their light, and they will reign forever and ever.
2 Peter 3:13 ESV
But according to his promise we are waiting for new heavens and a new earth in which righteousness dwells.
Romans 8:9 ESV
You, however, are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if in fact the Spirit of God dwells in you. Anyone who does not have the Spirit of Christ does not belong to him.
Job 32:8 ESV
But it is the spirit in man, the breath of the Almighty, that makes him understand.
More scriptures on Spirit Man
One of the basic foundations of Christ followers is that we are tripartite in nature - primarily a spirit, with a soul in a physical body. Our spirit man/woman when constantly in full communion with the Lord will be so bright in the spirit world that becomes a magnet to the rest of the world. It will bring war and peace depending on the spiritual forces that are surrounding it.
The Lord had been placing this in my heart for several years already that this is actually one of the reasons that people and nations war against each other. I had experienced this myself in various situations. One extreme occasion - I smelled the stench of hell at that moment where I was with certain people around me. On glorious moments are dreams and visions of what the Lord is trying to do in our society and in my life. My first one is the beautiful gold rose vision ( see my life testimony).
This is also the primary reason why nations/people war against America, Israel and other nations. The anointing (Spirit Man/Woman) of USA and Israel are so bright in the spirit realm because of the rich Christian church and heritage of these nations like no other nation/s in the world. The allies and enemies of these nations ( internal and external -individual/collective) are subconsciously wanting to have the spirit man of these nations - they do not clearly see and understand this dynamic that is at play in the heavens. The ones who are trying to compete or destroy them will be at a disadvantage in eternity. The infamous billionaire George Soros is one good example these days. If you have the heart and mind of God, you will actually feel the pain and mercy of the Lord to them because of the tremendous amount of bondages that they are in. They themselves do not have a clue of these until their time in eternity. In the Lords divine mind - he knows and has planned everything from the beginning into the end and if we are not moving with Him, life will work against us in the eternal kingdom ( Heaven and Hell).
The book of Revelations - Christ personal letter to His Bride (the Christian Church), ends with a very beautiful message. That is - Jesus will be the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords and God will reign forever and ever.
Revelation 21:3-4 ESV
And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Behold, the dwelling place of God is with man. He will dwell with them, and they will be his people, and God himself will be with them as their God. He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away.” Meaning the stuff that we are constantly idolizing and playing center stage apart of the Lords Kingdom now and in the days ahead - is irrelevant to that Kingdom that is to come.
In your most holy name Jesus, I/We believe and receive your promise to us ! Amen!
Revelation 19:16 ESV
On his robe and on his thigh he has a name written, King of kings and Lord of lords.

For to us a child is born, to us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder, and his name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
Daniel 2:37 ESV
You, O king, the king of kings, to whom the God of heaven has given the kingdom, the power, and the might, and the glory,
Colossians 1:15-17 ESV
He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation. For by him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things were created through him and for him. And he is before all things, and in him all things hold together.
Hebrews 1:8 ESV
But of the Son he says, “Your throne, O God, is forever and ever, the scepter of uprightness is the scepter of your kingdom.
1 Timothy 1:2 ESV
To Timothy, my true child in the faith: Grace, mercy, and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.
Matthew 23:9 ESV
And call no man your father on earth, for you have one Father, who is in heaven.
1 Peter 2:2 ESV
Like newborn infants, long for the pure spiritual milk, that by it you may grow up into salvation—
Once the Lord will establish in our life (time/age in your lifetime) - the specific ministry that had been purposely created for us, a spiritual Father/s is almost always placed in front of us ( physically or supernaturally). We will look at this starting from the hierarchy of heaven to earth. That is God the Father, Jesus, the Holy Spirit, Saints, Angels (archangel and their ranks) and Christ church leaders in our civilization ( both alive and those who had passed away). In each of these levels - someone from the Lords Kingdom is specifically assigned to us in addition to our Lord's Jesus constant faithfulness in our life. A clear biblical example of this is how Apostle Paul had mentored Timothy, Moses to Joshua etc. at the most basic level.
Christ church are already structured on this and it is best for us to know our Kingdom strengths and offices so that we can function effectively our ministry giftings and offices. When we can clearly identify these - our spiritual fathers (family) that are placed in front of us will confirm these as well as the guidance of the Holy Spirit including the words of the Bible.
In my case, it took at least a decade before I was able to see these clearly. I was already wondering why I was speaking prophetic words in those years, having visions and dreams, knowing stuff that I have no clue where they are from - yet I was not even clear of what are those offices that I was walking and functioning. Its like - I always get the last laugh with God.
These spiritual fathers will teach us a lot of wisdom, knowledge, understanding etc while living and practicing our faith. Sometimes they are like a sounding board that will confirm to us what we are learning, speaking and experiencing in our daily walk with the Lord. This is also God's way of honing our giftings by lining us up in the right spiritual path thru these spiritual fathers (family) that will guide us. Please make an effort to clearly identify these fathers (family) - in alignment with your kingdom strengths and gifts because if you are going against the flow of the Lord that had been assigned to you by learning from the wrong spiritual fathers, you will feel these in your life. It will be like swimming against the streams of the brooks or current of the ocean.

Proverbs 6:16-19 ESV
There are six things that the Lord hates, seven that are an abomination to him: haughty eyes, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that devises wicked plans, feet that make haste to run to evil, a false witness who breathes out lies, and one who sows discord among brothers.
Today, just like most of the days that I wake up before my prayer time, I was awaken by a demonic dream vision about "white supremacist" spirit that the mainstream media continue to plague the airwaves. The spirit was so condemning that I asked the Lord why I had that dream vision, his answer - you forgot to pray before you went to bed?
Using the scriptures above - our society these days is being sifted and shifted so much that we can not take our prayers and prayer time lightly anymore. The mainstream information channels are constantly bombarding us with STUFF that Lord HATES, and are ABOMINATION to Him.
What the Lord is saying in the above scriptures is that if you do one or a combination of any or all of the the first Six (6) - He hates them and if you do the Seven (7) of them as a lifestyle - makes the heart and mind of the Lord so disgusted (aka abomination) with us. That is one place that if you know God's temperament - you do not want to go there. Thats real painful FIRE, that you may not be able to extinguish in your lifetime.
May we remind ourselves daily of these dangers that satan will always use to trap us and may our society ( individually and collectively) be purged out of these spirits on a daily basis.
All of these I/we ask and we pray and receive - in your most holy name Jesus! Amen!
Revelation 1:7 ESV
Behold, he is coming with the clouds, and every eye will see him, even those who pierced him, and all tribes of the earth will wail on account of him. Even so. Amen.
John 14:3 ESV
And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to myself, that where I am you may be also.
Matthew 24:36 ESV
“But concerning that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father only.
The second coming of the Lord Jesus will come as surely as the sun rise up and goes down on planet earth daily. One heavenly metaphor that is used by biblical teachers is the " Wedding" of Jesus ( the bridegroom ) and His church (the Bride - "Us" -Christ church)
This is one big picture concept that a Christian need to always remember once saved. Wither this will happen in our lifetime or not - our goal is to join the Lord and live with Him forever in His Holy throne in the holy of Hollies.To be always a part of Christ church and function our offices using the platform/ministry that is entrusted to us is one of the best way to make this happen. When I was new in Christ - I earnestly asked the Lord to reveal to me the ministry that is specifically entrusted to me. This life that He had given me the privilege to live for His glory. After a few months of seeking Him - He gave me those answers in very specific words using my Bible study leader at that time from that church that I was attending. The Lord gave those words to my Bible study leader during her prayer time and asked her to write them and then she gave those words to me written on a small piece of paper. The Lord is that faithful to us. In this case - I can not even question the validity of those answers because - He gave it thru my Bible Study leader?
"Christ Church" is the collective and individual churches - within us, around us ( worldwide). On that day that the Lord will come - His purpose is to get His Bride ( the church) and live with them forever - the RAPTURE. Then comes the "Great Tribulation". God Almighty as our creator is not a communist God and gave us the FREE WILL as a gift to chose good (God) from evil (satan). The unfortunate thing is that not all of mankind will choose God and will be left behind and suffer the torture of the big loser (satan) when the Christian church is raptured and no one is interceding/praying anymore for the people of planet earth. At this time - Jesus the High priest will then judge the people left on planet earth and send the rebellions ones into eternal damnation of the pits of Hell (the lowest universe below our planet). The Lord Jesus will then come back with His bride to rule and reign on planet earth forever (planet earth restored to third Heaven standards) -Heaven on earth. This is an extentsive topic that needs to be studied and will be discussed more someday.
Revelation 20:1-15 ESV
Then I saw an angel coming down from heaven, holding in his hand the key to the bottomless pit and a great chain. And he seized the dragon, that ancient serpent, who is the devil and Satan, and bound him for a thousand years, and threw him into the pit, and shut it and sealed it over him, so that he might not deceive the nations any longer, until the thousand years were ended. After that he must be released for a little while. Then I saw thrones, and seated on them were those to whom the authority to judge was committed. Also I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for the testimony of Jesus and for the word of God, and those who had not worshiped the beast or its image and had not received its mark on their foreheads or their hands. They came to life and reigned with Christ for a thousand years. The rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years were ended. This is the first resurrection. ...
Revelation 5:10 ESV
And you have made them a kingdom and priests to our God, and they shall reign on the earth.”
All of these I/we believe and receive in your most precious name Jesus! Amen!
1 Peter 1:2 ESV
According to the foreknowledge of God the Father, in the sanctification of the Spirit, for obedience to Jesus Christ and for sprinkling with his blood: May grace and peace be multiplied to you.
Salvation in Christ Jesus ( that is receiving Jesus daily as our one and only savior) is only the first step of Christian Life. Sanctification in Christ ( living the fullness/identity and mind of Jesus within you and thru you) is the next one. Third is to always - fully surrender to the leading of the Holy Spirit of God that is already within you and not to try to live your life as how you think the Lord wants you to do so. Theres more of these Christian doctrines/concepts that I will write someday. A whole kingdom of Jesus and the Almighty God the Father will be revealed to us as we continue to read and meditate the words of the Lord in the Bible and live our lives daily for Him.
The most important of them all if this will happen in our lifetime - is to be with Him on His returns to rule and reign in our New Heaven and New Earth.
Matthew 24:29-31 ESV
“Immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light, and the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken. Then will appear in heaven the sign of the Son of Man, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. And he will send out his angels with a loud trumpet call, and they will gather his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.
From the moment of our Salvation- the Lord will slowly give us the Gifts of the Holy Spirit:
1 Corinthians 12:7-11 ESV
To each is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the common good. For to one is given through the Spirit the utterance of wisdom, and to another the utterance of knowledge according to the same Spirit, to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healing by the one Spirit, to another the working of miracles, to another prophecy, to another the ability to distinguish between spirits, to another various kinds of tongues, to another the interpretation of tongues. All these are empowered by one and the same Spirit, who apportions to each one individually as he wills.
These gifts (above) will teach us how to be the salt and light to our physical world that is ruled by Satan. This means intentional changes in our daily habits to make God our first priority from the moment we wake up until the next day. One of them is to filter what you want your mind and heart will absorb and learn on a day to day basis. Reading and meditating the words of the Lord ( your special time with Jesus or prayer time) is first before you start your day. The revelations and thoughts of Heaven that will be imparted to you on these moments will determine your day and your walk with Him. Turning off any information that will bring the world of satan into your New world in Christ is the key. Once you turn on the media, the internet etc - those worldly information will bring in what is being preached on those sites. From the pulpits of our political platforms ( governments here and abroad ) that is constantly sowing division, hate, crimes etc - its all overflowing in these channels. The government of Heaven is the complete opposite of Human governments and if you keep that in mind - you would be protective and selective on what your heart and mind will absorb on a day to day basis. In fact those outlets are actually craving to have what had been deposited in you by our Heavenly Father - so please be very diligent in doing this to your walk with Jesus. Keeping your anointing fully one with Jesus is very important.
The world of the Lord Jesus is always about introducing and sharing His Glorious Love and Beauty to a lost world that is in front of us. Jesus world is always about unity, love, grace, hope, mercy etc - bearing the Fruits of the Holy Spirit
Galatians 5:22-23 ESV
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law.
In short - as spend quality time with the Lord especially in your prayer time, reading and meditating His words and just making Him first in your life - He will share with you His attributes.
May we always remind ourselves these wonderful and victorious inheritance that we have received freely from our Almighty God the Father as we live this New Era that we are in.
All of these we believe and receive in your most holy name Lord Jesus ! Amen!
For the desires of the flesh are against the Spirit, and the desires of the Spirit are against the flesh, for these are opposed to each other, to keep you from doing the things you want to do.
"Carnal Christianity" is one of the toughest spirit that we are to shrug off constantly- as followers of Christ. We live in a very earthly oriented society that practicing what the Lord Jesus taught at the Sermon on Mount ( Matthew - chapters 5-7)) is impossible to live on a day to day basis.
This is one reason that keeping our salvation in Christ is a daily prayer that we have to practice. Heavens throne and the Godhead is perfect and divine. To be able to join our Heavenly Father will certainly need Jesus alone for us to get there victoriously.
One of the topics on the Sermon on the Mount is Jesus teachings on "Him" being the fulfillment of the Law.
The Fulfillment of the Law - Matthew 5:17- 20
17 “Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. 18 For truly I tell you, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished. 19 Therefore anyone who sets aside one of the least of these commands and teaches others accordingly will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever practices and teaches these commands will be called great in the kingdom of heaven. 20 For I tell you that unless your righteousness surpasses that of the Pharisees and the teachers of the law, you will certainly not enter the kingdom of heaven.
When Jesus said this line - For I tell you that unless your righteousness surpasses that of the Pharisees and the teachers of the law, you will certainly not enter the kingdom of heaven.
What he meant on this verse - is that it is only thru Him and in Him that we can make it to His Kingdom. Heavens perfection makes our Holiness and Righteousness looks like filthy rags.
Romans 3:10 ESV
As it is written: “None is righteous, no, not one;
1 Timothy 2:5 ESV
For there is one God, and there is one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus,
Isaiah 64:6 NIV
All of us have become like one who is unclean, and all our righteous acts are like filthy rags;
we all shrivel up like a leaf, and like the wind our sins sweep us away.
All of these we receive and believe in your most holy name Jesus! Amen!
Romans 1:18 ESV
For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who by their unrighteousness suppress the truth.
God's Wrath is revealed to a believer after God will reveal and make real His loving nature - later in his/her walk of faith with Him. The "wrath" of a Holy and Loving God Almighty means - He is perfect/divine in nature and can not tolerate humanity's constant rebellion/sinfulness. God's nature is pure/divine light and in Him there is no darkness, therefore sin or darkness will prevent his full manifestation and His indwelling within a believer's life.
The Bible indicates that before Adam and Eve was placed by the Lord on planet earth, there was a civilization that existed before them that got so bad and provoked God's wrath on them. The Lord darkened the sun, moon and stars then shoke planet earth, turned it upside down and froze everything that was in it. This is one reason we find fossils of Dinosaurs and other historical artifacts but could not linked them to any kind of clear civilization that they had belong to. The scriptural references on this subject is small and jumps around from Genesis to the different prophetic books of the old and New Testament. After the Lord did this to planet earth - He cleaned it up and " replenished it to perfection" - from sky heaven's, sea, animals etc and placed Adam then Eve as his companion to rule and subdue "satan and his army" in this planet. To rule and subdue the evil one and his minions is one important truth of Christian Life that is not even preached and taught much to Christ followers. Again our first parents rebelled the Lords commandment not to eat from the Tree of Life and Death and this is the starting point of SICKNESS happening to mankind. Then there's the flood in Noah's time- another manifestation of God's wrath. The first Adam was then redeemed by the second Adam (Lord Jesus Christ) sent to us - a God son born human - as our one and only Savior. When Jesus went back to Heaven, the Lord revealed to Apostle John ( the Apostle who was very close to Jesus) in the book of Revelations that there will be judgement of the wicked. This closing book of the Bible give us a good picture of How the Lord himself will rule and reign bringing to an end the rebellion of humanity and ushering a New Heaven and New Earth. In general - these events will be in TWO parts. First - the Lord will RAPTURE his Bride ( Christ Church) and the Second part will be the Great Tribulation for the wicked ones- then comes a New Heaven and a New Earth.
This is only one of the scenes from the Book of Revelations - there's a lot of these kind of painful situations that humanity will go thru before the Lords second coming....
Revelation 6:12-17 (ESV)
12 When he opened the sixth seal, I looked, and behold, there was a great earthquake, and the sun became black as sackcloth, the full moon became like blood, 13 and the stars of the sky fell to the earth as the fig tree sheds its winter fruit when shaken by a gale. 14 The sky vanished like a scroll that is being rolled up, and every mountain and island was removed from its place. 15 Then the kings of the earth and the great ones and the generals and the rich and the powerful, and everyone, slave[a] and free, hid themselves in the caves and among the rocks of the mountains, 16 calling to the mountains and rocks, “Fall on us and hide us from the face of him who is seated on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb, 17 for the great day of their wrath has come, and who can stand?”
In short God's "wrath" is a "righteous" judgement to a very sinful humanity that He had created himself for one and only purpose - God wanted a loving relationship with Mankind. As we move forward in this New Era that we are in - may we be aware when the Lord's wrath is triggered with our inherently dark and sinful nature. That we will walk our eternal inheritance as royal sons and daughters of the Almighty God of our Universe thru Jesus Christ.
All of these we receive and believe in your most holy and precious name Jesus! Amen!

Jesus as the Christ scriptures - https://www.openbible.info/topics/jesus_as_christ
This issue that we have in our society that is technology driven have been in my heart for the last decade. I just did not have a full understanding of this until very recently. We are technology driven almost in all aspects of our lives.
America is home to the big technology giants in the world and unfortunately - the algorithms and data programming are in the minds and hearts of people that are not devoted followers of Jesus. I honestly believe that most of our societal issues are also driven by this mindset from global warming to homelessness etc.
Most of us can attest that we have become so dependent to our cellphones and other kinds of technology while living our lives. In addition to this - what goes on behind the scenes in our society and other nations - most especially heathen nations who are Anti American from FACE RECOGNITION, MIND MAPPING, ONLINE TRACKING - basically you goole them online and you will see all of them. Theres the "Snowden" scandal that gave us an idea of how governments are doing MASS SURVEILLANCE (every human being that satellites in the sky and technology can trace) to collect information that they can use to control and use to do their job or any which way they want. Subscribing to encrypted email providers, privacy controls are only a couple of what we can do to deter the lawlessness in our internet and society these days. This is affecting the mainstream population more than the people who have the billions dollars.
My primary concern about this as an intercessor in the Body of Christ is how this is actually grieving the Holy Spirit of the Lord in our civilization. The energy source of AI is not from Heavens Throne, this is actually hindering the full manifestation of the Holy Spirit of God upon us and in our planet. God's sovereignty will still rule and reign during the second coming of the Lord.
As a follower of Jesus - we have the SURE assurance of Jesus Christ reign -
HEAVEN ON EARTH Revelation 21:1-27 ESV. https://www.openbible.info/topics/heaven_on_earth
Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and the sea was no more. And I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Behold, the dwelling place of God is with man. He will dwell with them, and they will be his people, and God himself will be with them as their God. He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away.” And he who was seated on the throne said, “Behold, I am making all things new.” Also he said, “Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true.” ...
All of these we ask in your most holy name Jesus!
More scriptures on this: https://www.openbible.info/topics/remnant
The word "REMNANT" in simple terms is like the " CREAM OF THE CROP" in the Body of Christ. We are to see and understand this from the mind and heart of God the Father Almighty thru Jesus Christ. In short in the realities of Heavens Throne which is completely far apart from our worldly systems.
These are people who are Handpicked by the Lord and who continue to persevere in serving the Lord. They have not lost their first love "Jesus" - who was sent to us as our one and only Savior. They are leaders in the church of Christ - inside and outside of the four corners of traditional and nontraditional christian churches.
God's purpose of the Remnant church is like the unconditional love of a parent/s to their children. Because the Lord loves us so much - He keeps us bound to Him - using His Remnant church. All of Christ followers including the lost ( thru His Mercy and Grace) are grounded to the Lord thru the Remnants.
Most importantly - this is the Church of our Lord Jesus Christ that will lead our civilization into the future - Christ Reign on Earth. I/we believe and receive all of these - In your most holy name Lord Jesus! Amen!

The Christian Life is like going to school. It starts with the knowledge, love and life with God from grade school, to high school, college, masters, doctorate into an infinite fellowship with the Lord when we join Him in the Holy of Holies. This growth in Christ is unique to each believer, for some - they will attain this in 5 years, some in 20 years and some may never move from the level of grade school. The reason being - for most of us - the Lord needs our cooperation in our relationship with Him. Christianity is a relationship and not a religion. If we do not do our part, He is not a communist God that will insist His ways. He will constantly knock on the door of our heart but will never break that door to enter into our heart. He is a GENTLEMAN in heavens standards.
The first reality of who the Lord Jesus is to me is that HE IS A GOD OF LOVE AND BEAUTY. The first authentic vision He imparted unto me during a Baptism of the Holy Spirit prayer meeting - was the "gold rose" sometime in 2001 when I asked him earnestly to give me all the riches of this world. The spirit of Love and Joy was in my heart when I received that vision yet, I did not fully understand what He clearly meant by that after more than two decades of my walk with Him.
After all these years, I fully understood that in as much as the Lord Jesus is a God of Love, He is Justice at the same time because of our sin nature. Meaning we can not continue to live a sinful lifestyle and claim Him to be our LORD AND SAVIOR. A sinful lifestyle and Jesus can not co exist because Jesus nature is Holy and Righteous (divine/perfect). The full manifestation of the Holy Spirit of the Lord in our life will remove sin especially the biggest sin ( transgression and in equity/bondages) in our lives. This is the test of our relationship if it is truly the Lord Jesus who is the Lord of our life/heart. I will say this again, there is a very fine line between the truth of God and the lies of satan and without the gifts of the spirit, we will miss the true meaning of God's Love.
1 Peter 4:10 ESV
As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another, as good stewards of God's varied grace:
More verses on the gifts of the spirit : https://www.openbible.info/topics/gifts_of_the_spirit
There will come a point in our walk with the Lord that He will actually manifest "His wrath" when we commit a sin to Him most especially when our relationship with Him is already very very close. This happened to me many times until I finally learned that what He was trying to teach me is to "Fear " and Hate sin because the Lord Jesus will remove His presence ( the Holy Spirit) within us. Meaning the Fear of the Lord now comes first for me to tell Him that I Love Him and for His Love to continue to manifest with in me and in my life.
The Lords purpose in doing this is actually to our best interest because His desire is for us to MATURE in our walk with Him. Maturity in Christ means we will have an understanding and Christian lifestyle that is more in tuned to the realities and truths of Heaven.
All of these I/we believe and receive in your most precious name Jesus! Amen!
Psalm 25:14 ESV
The friendship of the Lord is for those who fear him, and he makes known to them his covenant.
1 Samuel 12:14 ESV
If you will fear the Lord and serve him and obey his voice and not rebel against the commandment of the Lord, and if both you and the king who reigns over you will follow the Lord your God, it will be well.
Hebrews 10:26-31 ESV
For if we go on sinning deliberately after receiving the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins, but a fearful expectation of judgment, and a fury of fire that will consume the adversaries. Anyone who has set aside the law of Moses dies without mercy on the evidence of two or three witnesses. How much worse punishment, do you think, will be deserved by the one who has spurned the Son of God, and has profaned the blood of the covenant by which he was sanctified, and has outraged the Spirit of grace? For we know him who said, “Vengeance is mine; I will repay.” And again, “The Lord will judge his people.” ...
Matthew 4:17
From that time Jesus began to preach, saying, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.”
Luke 13:3 ESV
No, I tell you; but unless you repent, you will all likewise perish.
1 John 1:9 ESV /
If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
More scriptures on Confessions and Repentance
The fourth sentence that the Lord Jesus spoke when he started His earthly ministry are the words above about the importance of confessing and repentance to receive the Lords forgiveness. His first words was giving John the Baptist permission to baptize Him in water. At that point He himself launch his earthly ministry with the confirmation of Father God Almighty.
Matthew 3:16-17 -16
As soon as Jesus was baptized, he went up out of the water. At that moment heaven was opened, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and alighting on him. 17 And a voice from heaven said, “This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased.”
Jesus next three sentences were a rebuke to the temptations of satan which indicates the way satan will always try to stop our blessings from the Lord right before it happens, then He spoke the words above. This clearly tell us that on a daily basis we are to confess our sins. Every single day before we join the Lord - we will sin in our spirit, soul (mind) and body. Our spiritual battles daily as devoted followers of Christ are not for the chickens. Confessions and repentance of our sins daily will restore our intimate relationship with the Lord.This is also the primary reason we need Jesus as our savior because of our fallen nature. It is only in Christ and thru Christ that we will be cleansed to be able enter the gates of Heaven.
This is even more important to us these days as the world had become more and more religious playing Jesus to the church of Christ and His followers. The Lord had revealed to me that Hinduism as a religion is competing its holy practices with the Christian faiths version of holiness and righteousness. Hinduism and Christianity are beliefs that are completely opposite in heavenly truths and realities. It is one of the most religious faith in the world these days. Covid 19 pandemic is that. I had been prompted by the Lord to pray about this often - after having a dream vision of how the leaders of that religion and leaders of US Congress had orchestrated and contributed to the casualties of this pandemic including the status of our national budget. The Lord had burdened me on this religions influence in our civilization for several years now. No malice intended but when your spiritual eyes can see scary stuff for the Lords people, that place is not really a very comfortable place to preach and teach these stuff. I still have to - for the benefit of exposing the truths and validity of the Gospel of Christ and lead our people from error - yet pray for their SALVATION. That is the real beauty of Christianity rooted on the grace mercy and love of God the Father thru Christ.
John 15:19
If you were of the world, the world would love you as its own; but because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you.

The Temple of the Living God
14 Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers. For what partnership has righteousness with lawlessness? Or what fellowship has light with darkness? 15 What accord has Christ with Belial?[b] Or what portion does a believer share with an unbeliever? 16 What agreement has the temple of God with idols? For we are the temple of the living God; as God said,
“I will make my dwelling among them and walk among them,
and I will be their God,
and they shall be my people.
17 Therefore go out from their midst,
and be separate from them, says the Lord,
and touch no unclean thing;
then I will welcome you,
18 and I will be a father to you,
and you shall be sons and daughters to me,
says the Lord Almighty.”
This is one of the toughest walk that a Christian need to be aware of - fully dependent on God's Love, Grace, Compassion, Mercy and Humility.
If we have to look at Jesus life ministry - nothing really bothers Him, He was a true leader that whatever comes His way - He knows exactly what to do and what to say ( sinner or saint). As a follower of Jesus - one of the job that we have to keep in mind is protecting the spiritual deposits (anointing) that the Lord Jesus had already built within us. The word " Backsliding" is a very easy trap that satan will use against us. Being yoked with people of same and similar ANOINTING is very important. In fact we need to be intentional in keeping our "anointing" always growing and- at its best fully present with the Lord - in Him and Thru Him.
This is a delicate mindset in that - we have to use our spiritual eyes, mind and heart to able to determine when to leave and when to go ( any relationships and situations) as the Holy Spirit will lead us. God is constantly moving in seasons. He is TIME ( not existent in our current time mindset) and to move with His timing is crucial or we will just end up in "La la land" over and over again.
In this new ERA that we are in - the sifting and shifting of our civilization will be big because the Lord wants to truly Bless us with - an open heaven Blessings. https://www.openbible.info/topics/open_heaven
In Jesus most precious name we pray! Amen!

Today January 10, 2022 is a very important milestone in my walk with the Lord. On this very special day - the most important worship prayer offering I have to HIM is the scripture above. He is all I /we need and all I/we want and I/we will abound in everything that I/we will do in this world into the next world.
Our God the Father thru our Lord Jesus and by the power of the Holy Spirit is Everything to Us.
He is our Love
He is our Peace
He is our Joy
He is our Mercy
He is our Grace
He is everything we need to live a meaningful and wonderful life daily as we await for Christ Glorious return!
In your most Holy Name Jesus! Amen!

As we continue to live our life as Jesus followers, we will be experiencing two distinct spiritual worlds daily. The activities of the world of God and the world of satan. Anytime a situation will bring negative energies to us - that is a clear indication that satan is orchestrating the whole thing.
The totality of God the Father Almighty in the physical representation of Jesus Christ is the HOLY SPIRIT OF GOD. The Lord is a SPIRIT - a divine "one" beyond any human understanding. The Holy Spirit is a Perfect Gentleman, He is swift and smooth in divine standards when He is operating in our lives or in any situation we are in - when at its fullness. There will be manifestation of the Gifts of the Spirit - (Galatians 5:22-25)
This is how we can tell that the Spirit of the Lord is present in any situation and if it is the opposite, we will always be prompted by the Lord to pray out that atmosphere that satan had created. A lot of Christians who has not matured enough in Christ can not discern these spirits. Although once we accept Jesus as our Savior - He will never leave us. Meaning no matter where we are in our faith walk with the Lord, he remains in us at a level that we can know and experience Him as our God. His utmost desire is to pour out Heavens protection, abundance and prosperity upon us. This is reason why it is very important to work out our salvation in Christ - do our heavenly homework daily.
In short - following Jesus is always a Win Win situation. We will never lose no matter how satan will try to destroy us using people blinded by him.
Isaiah 11:2 ESV
And the Spirit of the Lord shall rest upon him, the Spirit of wisdom and understanding, the Spirit of counsel and might, the Spirit of knowledge and the fear of the Lord.

“If you love me, you will keep my commandments. And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Helper, to be with you forever, even the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees him nor knows him. You know him, for he dwells with you and will be in you.
Philippians 4:6-7 ESV
Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
1 Peter 5:7 ESV
Casting all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you.
Matthew 6:25-34 ESV
“Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing? Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? And which of you by being anxious can add a single hour to his span of life? And why are you anxious about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin, yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. ...
More verses on worry....https://www.openbible.info/topics/worry
One of the best blessings that I had received from the Lord is the Freedom from worry. The worrying was replaced with a burden that the Lord will place in my heart and mind for me to pray out to bring deliverance and healing to a certain person, situation etc that He will place in me in that particular time/moment that I am in.
Most recently, this was happening to me for the last six months that made me see clearly that we as followers of the Lord Jesus are called to a "Faithful Stewardship in our Prayer Life". One of our most mature Pastors once said that if Christian will not pray - our planet will blow up.
One very specific example of this lately are as follows. I have been flying out to another state to do some Real Estate investment stuff. Most of the time, the flights would have issues like, delay in boarding or taking off etc. As has been my habit, I always pray harder when I am travelling especially on planes and would be talking to the Lord on these situations. I had received so many blessings and revelations from the Lord during these prayer sessions while on flights. The bottom line is that if I do not pray - the delays and issues that my flights are dealing with are only resolved when I start to pray? So yesterday when this happened on my flights - I started debating with God - are you trying to tell me that among all those passengers, Am I the only one who was praying? The answer was obvious to me.
The scriptures above will tell us clearly the importance of praying unto the Lord. Our carnal world is so out of tune with the heart and mind of Jesus that if we believers do not do our primary calling as Intercessors, our planet and our world will be so off from the plumbline of Heavens Throne.
This is also a very strong indication how the Lord loves us and His desire to have a very intimate relationship with Him. He wants us to be always in communion with Him especially thru our prayers and pretty much the way how we live our life on a daily basis
James 5:16 ESV
Therefore, confess your sins to one another and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person has great power as it is working.
Ephesians 6:18 ESV
Praying at all times in the Spirit, with all prayer and supplication. To that end keep alert with all perseverance, making supplication for all the saints,
Matthew 26:41 ESV

1 Corinthians 10:21 ESV
You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons. You cannot partake of the table of the Lord and the table of demons.
Ephesians 4:27 ESV
And give no opportunity to the devil.
This is ONE Holiday in our society that was made very clear to me by the Christian Ministry where the Lord groomed me to become Jesus possessed. It all seems like really fun from the mainstream perspective but in the "spirit realm" - this is actually the biggest "TRICK" of satan to our society. Christian who has the spiritual eyes to see and sense (spiritual senses) what goes on on in the "SPIRIT REALM " on the days that this holiday is celebrated will pray to the Lord Jesus to wipe this Halloween celebration out from our society. The damages that it does to the spirit man of people who do not know Heaven and Hell stuff is outrageously painful to the heart of the Lord Jesus.
Nonetheless - as followers of the Lord - our best weapon is to pray for the people who are blinded by the tricks of the great deceiver of mankind - satan. He is the father of lies and destruction and he is so slick and smooth in making his way into the minds and hearts of our people and society.
1 Corinthians 15:57 ESV
But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

To bring glory to your name Lord Jesus - we ask and we pray Amen!
The Peace of God thru Christ surpasses all understanding.....
Psalm 46:10 NKJV
Be still, and know that I am God;
I will be exalted among the nations,
I will be exalted in the earth!

I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world.”
Isaiah 26:3 ESV
You keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on you, because he trusts in you.
Peace of Christ is this:
The physical world that we live is always trying to prove itself against the "SOVEREIGNTY" of Yaweeh El Shaddai ( God Almighty) thru our Lord Jesus Christ.
The "world" that the Bible is referring to is "ruled" by the prince of darkness - "satan" - the great deceiver of mankind.
1 Peter 5:8 ESV
Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour.
Mainstream culture is oblivious to this most of the time and is constantly going along with all the lies and wiles of the evil one. Satan and his kingdom is as real as your skin and breath. It is unfortunate that he is not even preached by our media as the most destructive force in our society.
More verses on satan.
Once our spiritual eyes are opened up by the Lord Jesus - we will start seeing life from the perspective of God ( the realities of heaven ) Grace, Mercy and Peace will flood our heart when we start to realize that most of our people are in so much BONDAGE.
Bondages to - money, prestige, power etc - pretty much what makes our civilization move on a daily basis. When we feel these pain in our being from peoples lives and hearts - we will be burdened by the desires of the Lord Jesus for our people and almost all the time - we will be prompted to pray about it.
Mankind is truly lost without the presence of the Lord Jesus in our lives.
John 10:10 ESV
The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly.
John 1:12 ESV
But to all who did receive him, who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God,
Revelation 3:20 ESV

All of these I/we pray and believe in your holy name Jesus! Amen!
Romans 8:1 ESV
All of these I/we ask and receive in your most holy name Jesus! Amen!
All of these I/we believe and receive in your holy name Jesus! Amen! |
- Matthew 6:24 ESV “No one can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and money.
Scriptures that will help us build this mindset
This NEW ERA that we are in is full of supernatural revelations most especially to the Remnant church of Jesus Christ. A mind in Jesus Christ in our SPIRIT, SOUL AND BODY is necessary for us to receive the spiritual downloads that the Lord earnestly want His followers to receive. In my case, it started around the last week of November until the present time. The defeated foe and great deceiver of mankind - satan, had always thrown so much lies and wiles to our people using the media and entertainment, so please shun from these outlets.
Mind in Christ simply means - we are to constantly focus our eyes on - Jesus, Founder and Perfecter of Our Faith ( Hebrews 12:1-2 ESV - Hebrews 12- for full context of the topic)
1Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, 2 looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God.
Some of the topics that the Lord spoke to me is IDOLATRY, RELIGIOUS SPIRIT and WORLDLINESS in general. That for most of us - we have an idol in our heart that stands in the way or competes our attention to the heart and mind of God. That for the Christian Church and the world - the religious spirit continue to manipulate its way in our worship of Jesus, both as a believer and non believer. That the world that is in front of us is only a preparation of the one that is yet to come. Therefore it is important that we set our sights on Heavens Throne for guidance daily. Reading the Bible is one of the best ways. The words written in these books was ordained and ordered by our Heavenly Father to be our users manual in this life going into the next life. Please always ask the Lord to reveal himself thru His spirit ( Holy Spirit) when reading His words.
In your most holy name we ask you Lord Jesus! Amen!
1 Corinthians 2:16 ESV
“For who has understood the mind of the Lord so as to instruct him?” But we have the mind of Christ.
Philippians 2:2-5 ESV
Complete my joy by being of the same mind, having the same love, being in full accord and of one mind. Do nothing from rivalry or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves. Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others. Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus,
Romans 12:2 ESV
Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.
Philippians 4:8 ESV
Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.
2 Corinthians 10:5 ESV
We destroy arguments and every lofty opinion raised against the knowledge of God, and take every thought captive to obey Christ,
1 Peter 1:13 ESV
Therefore, preparing your minds for action, and being sober-minded, set your hope fully on the grace that will be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ.
Mark 4:11-12
And he said to them, “To you has been given the secret of the kingdom of God, but for those outside everything is in parables, so that “they may indeed see but not perceive, and may indeed hear but not understand, lest they should turn and be forgiven.”

This is a SURREAL experience that I had after my Xmas Celebration Holiday trip joining my family in the area of Albuquerque New Mexico in 2021. During that Christmas weekend - the weather was so bad that a lot of airlines had cancelled their flights. Luckily all of my flights were not and was just delayed in departures and arrivals for several hours. It was "surreal" in that as I was meditating during my prayer time after all those trips - God showed me in the spirit realm the spirits of satan and Gods army that were working that created the chaotic weather tied up to the on going activities in our society with the COVID 19 PANDEMIC - both church and state including - public and private entities.
I never had a spiritual vision in my life as accurate as I had seen them today. I was so disgusted realizing the strong demonic drama that satan orchestrated on these days. I then prayed to the Lord for His intervention and healing for all of these demonic plans that satan continue to unleash in our nation and nations around the world that the world do not even have a clue how to dissociate themselves from it and find refuge in the shadow of God Almighty for His wisdom, knowledge, understanding, provision and protection
To the Glory of the Lord God Father Almighty alone in Jesus Name! Amen!
Isaiah 54:17 ESV
No weapon that is fashioned against you shall succeed, and you shall confute every tongue that rises against you in judgment. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord and their vindication from me, declares the Lord.”

1 Corinthians 15:57 ESV
But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
As we are preparing to enter the NEW Year - in a hindsight 2021 was clearly a year full of victory in Christ. Satan the defeated foe continue to make noise and drama in our lives/world. Just when he thinks he had advanced his agenda, it always turns out to be an OPEN Heaven outpouring of Gods Blessings to us. This was very true to me personally and in our world.
The most important mindset that we need to live out daily is that - as Christ followers - we are sons and daughters of God the Father Almighty thru Jesus Christ. We have the royal provision and inheritance of Heavens Throne. The world do not know, see nor understand these protections and provisions from the Lord. In fact in most situations in our civilization, they are being used as puppets to advance hells agenda in our society. If you read the life story of Elijah the old testament prophet, and other prophets and apostles of old and new testament - they will give you a clear understanding about this concept of father of this world.
Nonetheless as the scriptures says : (John 3:16-18 - John 3 full chapter - our New Life in Christ) 16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. 17 For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.
We have to continue to be the vessels of the the Lord Jesus, praying and embracing the lost with the PEACE, Grace, Love and Compassion that had been extended to us before we were reconciled to Him.We are the walking talking Jesus of our world until His second coming!
In Jesus most Holy name I /We pray all of these! Amen!

For to which of the angels did God ever say, “You are my Son, today I have begotten you”? Or again, “I will be to him a father, and he shall be to me a son”?
This section had been placed by the Lord n my heart for quite awhile. The riches of the Christian Faith is too much to unbundle on a daily basis because it is a Lifestyle of Relationship and Revelations with the Lord. This is the reason that the section is named after one of the "Precious Metals" of His Kingdom which is only secondary to the primary riches of the spiritual Kingdom of God - His Heart and Mind one with us. The currency of God's economy is FAITH and not the precious metals as they are only sort of desserts and appetizers for iiving that kind of life with Him in the Third Heaven.
These are concepts, doctrines of the faith and sometimes they are just scriptures and thoughts that He places in my heart on a day to day basis that He wants me and His Church- to intercede or pray for.

Then the angel showed me the river of the water of life, bright as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb through the middle of the street of the city; also, on either side of the river, the tree of life with its twelve kinds of fruit, yielding its fruit each month. The leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations. No longer will there be anything accursed, but the throne of God and of the Lamb will be in it, and his servants will worship him. They will see his face, and his name will be on their foreheads. And night will be no more. They will need no light of lamp or sun, for the Lord God will be their light, and they will reign forever and ever.
