"My heart for you has unending provisions, impenetrable protection, and unbridled passion to see you mightily prosper! The righteous are NEVER forsaken, and the trust that I require of sincere disciples and followers of Mine is authenticated by and through biblical faith, without the need for unnecessary explorations or heart searching - that mirrors the escapade of Peter and the disciples during their fishing expedition following the crucifixion of Jesus. There are many times, based upon the appearance of things, you are at a complete disadvantage! It seems that I've permitted your captivity or imprisonment, but I've only strategically introduced the door or opportunity that I will use to open a whole new dimensional reality of My timely provisions - and I release understanding as the heart simply focuses on what's most important; seeking My Kingdom first. Jesus instructing them from the shore on "where to fish", which had direct implications on the ...

There is a place "in Me" that acts as a supporting foundation in holistic development that requires seasons of isolated-shaping that is not meant to appear exclusive or divisive to others; but an ordained hidden place in Me away from others, where no interference or interruption can keep you from the intimacy that I purpose for and with you. When your unclear where I'm taking you exactly - beyond the general expectation of my goodness that every disciple should have; there tends to be a frustration in developmental process towards progress, because the mind and the imagination is in a constant search to know what's next... The daydreaming and imaginings that can turn into worry, if NOT influenced by the Word of God, are normal in the scheme of sojourning in this life; but covetousness and carelessness are common - for even the most committed saint because the heart is deceitful above all things. When the feelings of deprivation and loneliness begin to consume the ...

Teach about the "grace" perspective associated with giving and serving, and how neither can have basis in the law - or an earned or achieved status gained by any merit or goodness of its own.   This also helps to ensure that "they will know that we are Christians by our love." An unconditional and unchanging action with the force of God's power, as it's foundation. Is this "Becoming a rug for all people 101"? No - this is living in the transcendent reality of God's love as a "conquering force" without equal or foe. The evil forces that author diabolical schemes and pitfalls, pride themselves on having the "loudest and meanest" voice full of murderous hatred and vengeance at the core. But, the silent voice of God's love has no initiating or originating insecurity to drive or fuel these wicked inferences or suggestions, and the associated death that consumes the being of those who are made it's servant. We alway...

There's Power in Partnership! From the beginning of "time" as we've all come to know and understand it from the Word of God, the Father has shown His intent for bringing the apex of creation (mankind) into partnership with Him in the joint-stewardship of the earth, through releasing the supernatural endowment of His Spirit upon mankind. Without digressing into the "fall of man", or the subsequent covenants God made with His chosen representatives during the progressive dispensations throughout human history - His original intent and His plan for mankind during the climax of the ages and the consummation of all things in the Person of Jesus Christ, for both dynamic partnership and mutual cooperation with us; has neither been altered or changed. The heart of God burns with zealous passion for the explosive synergy, purpose and provision harmoniously colliding through our ordained partnerships with Him and our thoughtful partnerships with one another.   ...

Anytime obedience can be altered by people's idiosyncratic responses and opinions, we are NOT properly developed in our apostolic identity in Christ! The limitations of cultural and "personal preferences" on our full apostolic identity, is both fatal and futile. If you are God's servant, don't make attacks and persecution about YOU, it's all about Him. Embracing the process that apostilicity demands, will develop the Spirit and Word of Reconciliation that never short-circuits the extent the redemptive work at Calvary will accomplish in transforming us more into His likeness. You don't have to respond to in demeaning or hateful ways towards critics - because it's proof of His hand at work through you and upon you! The abuse of "grace" is willfully pushing past the natural-earthly limitations we're governed by, to "prove" that spiritual power and authority exists - but at the neglect of the required balance and wisdom t...

God's Faithfulness is not determined by our acknowledgement or confidence in the integrity of His word and character - in always doing exactly what He has promised from the scriptures. I've noticed through the years, that when believers experience the reality of "being abased" and "being abound", and everything in between - without our minds properly renewed, we think God is nitpicking about the things we "like" to do; and is correcting us for being greedy, when His leadership in our lives is not petty-investigative work about insignificant things. As the Lord matures His people, He is fostering balance in your life, so that where you have misplaced priorities and fleshly thinking, He pinpoints it in the fire! Jesus is our "Perfect Example" of what it means to be balanced without ever having a need! Because, He was "moved with compassion" by being completely yielded to the Father's heart, HE NEVER: a) allowed self-...
