To Grow or Not to Grow? The Choice Belongs to You

"For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart." - Hebrews 4:12


The Word is the barometer by which we measure spiritual maturity. It is quick (alive) and the Life in it (or rather in HIM) is what translated (raised) us from spiritual death and became our everlasting, eternal, endless Life. To the degree that we have entered into the REST that He has provided for us (from all DEAD works, because dead works could not produce, attain nor maintain the Life of Christ in us) we grow.


Eternal Life is a state of being but it is also a state of constant growing in Him. We should never be stagnant...that Life in us produces more Life as well as the Grace that is part and parcel of that Life. That Life is the "Christ IN you - the Mystery that so many of us fail to understand because we have not given ourselves over to the Teacher of our Spirit...the Holy Ghost. We activate our Teacher by spending time praying in other tongues - that is our responsibility, and that is how we grow. It is up to us to know the Mystery and to make the Mystery known. Otherwise we will continue to live with an earthly mindset. Our mindset should be heavenly because that is where we are from and where we will return. Soul transformation by the Spirit brings about permanent change. Don't try to change your flesh - it is dead. It is about the salvation of our SOUL. Flesh and blood cannot inherit the Kingdom of God.


"Dividing asunder of the SOUL and SPIRIT": The natural soul and the born-again human spirit. How far apart are they? The more your soul is in agreement with your spirit man, the more mature you will be. The less your mind is in agreement with the things of this "natural" realm, the more you will walk as a son. As many as allow themselves to be led by the spirit of God, they are the SONS of God (Romans 8:14)


Positionally and truthfully we are sons...but are we walking as such? The soul is the place of decision, and the choice is yours.

Be encouraged!

The Enemy's Attack on Family - Part 2

There has been a misrepresentation of the Family both in the Spirit and in the Natural. It is my firm belief that those who do not fully understand the mystery of Family in the Spirit (Christianity) will continue to present, proclaim and believe the perverted view of family in the natural. The devil has distorted both. Through religion, satan has preached perversion of the Mystery that is the Church.

In the days ahead, there will be more of a merging of the Spirit of perversion and the Spirit of religion in order to make aberrant behavior acceptable. Christianity is not religion; it is the true family, ordained by God with Jesus Christ as the Head. Any family unit that has not been established with Jesus as the pattern for headship is not the Father's plan. Through rebellion and deception, many families have been fractured. The standard is this: Man, Woman and children. One passage where the model for this is explained is in Ephesians 5:22-6:4:


"Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord.  For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body. 
Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing. 
Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it; 
That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, 
That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish. 
So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself. 
For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church: 
For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones. 
For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh. 
This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church. 
Nevertheless let every one of you in particular so love his wife even as himself; and the wife see that she reverence her husband.

Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right. 
Honour thy father and mother; (which is the first commandment with promise;) 
That it may be well with thee, and thou mayest live long on the earth. 
And, ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord." - Eph. 5:22-6:4 KJV

Within this pattern, roles are clearly defined. In order for blessings to flow from the Head (Jesus) on down, this is the standard that needs to be met. Through divorce, absentee fathers, etc., the enemy has sought to sabotage this and bring undue hardship. Not that blessings aren't possible within the structure of single-parent homes; God's Grace and Mercy is still available. The fact is, there is so much struggle involved in so many cases because of  parents abandoning children for largely selfish reasons.

Homosexual marriage and raising families in a two-male parent/two female parent setting, however, is the main avenue through which satan deceives, making "acceptable" what God has already judged as sin.

There's a reason why opposites attract; simply because they are opposites. Each has something that the other does not, which fills the void and makes it whole. Case in point: natural attraction. A man is attracted to a woman and a woman to a man. There would be no need for a male and female of any species if one gender was enough. In order for two of the same to be "compatible", one of the two would have to take on an attribute that is foreign to their nature, e.g., a "feminine" male or a "masculine" female. The mere fact that this takes place proves that God knew what he was doing when He created male and female. Man cannot "re-invent" natural order, just as much as he should never legislate sin - of any kind - into the law of the land; it is a work of darkness.

Consider this: In the book of Genesis, God took woman out of man (two out of one) and then put them back together through marriage (two into one).


Through the forbearance and Mercy of God, manifested Judgment has not yet come. However, Judgment delayed is not Judgment denied. The reason is that God is giving us time to repent for participating in and condoning such acts of open rebellion against His Word.

Think about this very carefully: Without the Word of God, none of us would exist (John 1:3;10). How can we engage in such rebellion and disobedience to the very Word to which we owe our very existence, and  which we have to answer to on the day of Judgment?


"For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad." - 2 Cor. 5:10 KJV



Folks, the times are getting - and will continue to become - worse and worse. If we have the full understanding of the Mystery of the Church and God's Divine Order, we will never be deceived. We need to make the Holy Spirit our very best friend so we will be able to maintain intimate fellowship with Jesus our Bridegroom. We have taken on His Name and His Nature. Do not commit spiritual fornication with the world; there will be consequences. As His voice in the earth, we need to continue to preach deliverance to the captives, and to declare that what is and has been, is not what shall be!

"I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom; 
Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine. 
For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; 
And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables."
- 2 Tim. 4:1-4 KJV



God Bless, and Be Encouraged!

The Enemy's Attack On Family - Part 1

God has designed an order for family in the natural as an example for us to understand family in the spiritual. There is a Divine Order. This is outlined in 1 Corinthians 11: 3-12 (Note: This is not about women wearing hats in church.) and Ephesian 5: 21-33. The reason for the enemy’s attack on family is because that is what Christianity is...it is family. He uses religion to try to destroy family because religion is ANTI-family. 
You don’t believe this? Consider the following:

Religion keeps women subservient. In Islam, for example, as well as many denominations and sects within Christianity, the role of women is diminished. Wherever there is bondage of any kind, religion is present. Family celebrates freedom within authority. Authority is not imposed to keep family members in bondage. We, as born-again believers, have been set free through the Spirit of liberty. Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. Therefore, ask yourself this question: Am I truly free? If not, someone (or something under the influence of someone) is holding you hostage. Christ came to set the captives free and whom the Son sets free is free indeed.

Religion exalts works over inheritance which is the basis of a family. So what does he do? Destroy the family structure and/or the children so that there's no inheritance or legacy or make it impossible for reproduction within a Godly-Ordained union of two people of the opposite sex. There is a false freedom that sin promotes. Until one has experienced true freedom through the Anointing, one is not truly free. When you only have one frame of reference there is nothing to compare anything to. For example: a spiritually dead person will not know that he is spiritually dead until he has experienced the Life of the New Nature.

True correction can only come forth in Love. Debate is pointless. We don't debate the Word--we demonstrate it. When a person has a spiritually dead nature, they will misinterpret your show of love as hatred. Why? Because their nature is opposite to yours. What is the opposite of Love? What is the opposite of tolerance? Tolerance does not address the sin issue; it sweeps it under the rug. Jesus cannot tolerate our sin nature even though He loves us. A sinner cannot inherit the Kingdom of God. Until we have had a supernatural encounter with His love which brings change, we are lost forever. That is Truth. If Truth is rejected, it remains Truth. Because He is Truth and cannot lie, opposing Truth is futile. The Word of God is the Truth that gives birth to the born-again Nature and is our sanctification.

In conclusion, I’ll say this: Pray for the lost. Pray for the hurting that they may be healed. The most heartbreaking thing that I see through all of what has been transpiring over the last few months (and it is about to come to a head--believe me) is that many who are lost don’t know it. Satan HATES mankind, saved and unsaved alike. He is on his way to hell along with all of the fallen angels. Our lifelong mission is to make sure we don’t end up there along with everyone else that is within our sphere of influence. Watch and pray.
