JOHN 15:16
YE HAVE NOT CHOSEN ME, BUT I HAVE CHOSEN YOU, AND ORDAINED YOU, THAT YOU SHOULD GO AND BRING FORTH FRUIT, AND THAT YOUR FRUIT SHOULD REMAIN: THAT WHATSOEVER YE SHALL ASK OF THE FATHER IN MY NAME, HE MAY GIVE IT YOU.​

I DIDN'T CHOOSE THE LORD JESUS, He chose me. He gave me the choice after making His. He said I was the apple of His eye. When I made the decision to surrender, He began to shift things and pour of His Holy Spirit ad fill all of the emptiness that resulted from my true surrender.

One evening after reading my word, I had gone to sleep. In the whee hours of the night I was awakened by an angel. The angel didn't speak a message with words, but with a spirit of laughter. There was a joy-filled laughter and I couldn't stop laughing. It was like I understood in the Spirit that I would overcome. Then I started to clap my hands and began praising the Lord, Though I couldn't see a positive way through my circumstance, the Lord sent the spirit of joy to get me through that appointed time of elevation in Him. It is hard to describe in words the death of “self” when you're going through circumstances and there is no clear path to take. The straight and narrow that leads to righteousness is rarely the first choice, but leads and guides us by His Spirit to deny ourselves and follow Him. I had to grasp the meaning of what that joy-filled laughter meant. Death and life were present. Death of the “old man” known as self and life as a new creature in Christ began to emerge.

Gal 2:19-20
FOR I THROUGH THE LAW AM DEAD TO THE LAW, THAT I MIGHT LIVE UNTO GOD.
I AM CRUCIFIED WITH CHRIST: NEVERTHELESS, I LIVE; YET NOT I, BUT CHRIST LIVETH IN ME: AND THE LIFE WHICH I NOW LIVE IN THE FLESH I LIVE BY THE FAITH OF THE SON OF GOD WHO LOVED ME, AND GAVE HIMSELF FOR ME.

So, then a joy was birthed in me that said to live is Christ and to die is gain. I had to be content with the Lord's will. That joy said I fear the Lord. That joy said He is the first and the last, the beginning and the end. Allowing the Holy Spirit to reign completely is when I was able to encounter the fullness of His joy.

The Lord Jesus Christ makes it clear that we didn't choose him first, but He chose us, and if He chose us then He qualifies us or equips us for the mission that He chose us to accomplish in Him. Then, the Lord states that He desires by having chosen us that we should bear much fruit and that our fruit should remain.

There is a lot of revelation in that one particular scripture. One revelation is the He gives us everything we need to accomplish what He ordained us to do. First, let me say that I communicate with a lot with people in my line of work and while having general conversation, people have made mention that though they may be gainfully employed, they don't like several aspects of their job.

No matter what job or assignment I've been on, I've found some things that I didn't look forward to throughout the course of my shift or even when I was going through training for the role I was to operate in. However, I must admit that I often had the tools to accomplish the task whether I like the job or not.

When I was a mortgage loan officer, we would come in to the office every morning. I knew O had phone calls to make and leads to obtain. Although, some of the people I worked with, I could do without their personality or characteristics.

When I was in basic training in the US military, I was equipped with everything I needed to complete my training and yet I must admit that the physical training was challenging and several mornings I wished there was a way to avoid going. Nonetheless, the result that we hoped for regardless of what job was that I would bear fruits of righteousness. The goal for mortgages is that the people and families would be places in homes and for the military it was train to be an EMT, which would in turn bring forth healing and deliverance (spiritually as well as naturally), when soldiers were injured in the line of duty. Though these things mentioned were natural duties, there is a spiritual revelation. Things may seem natural, but everything has a spiritual design by the Lord. 
We have natural appointments and spiritual callings of the Most High, and He always equips us for the task. There are many challenges, tests, trials, but all have been allowed to bring us to our expected end build us up on our Most Holy Faith in the Lord Jesus.

​PROVERBS 14:12


THERE IS A WAY THAT SEEMETH RIGHT TO A MAN, BUT THE END THEREOF ARE THE WAYS OF DEATH.


The Lord has often said in so many ways that He is willing to pour out His Spirit and He is a God who looks past our faults to meet the need for His love and His righteousness and favor. He is that same God yesterday, today, and ever more.
He is often ever so present but the world will not receive him. They go their way and they heap up their own teachers and stand on their own authority with worldy wisdom. They put their savior down on a level as being merely man instead of recognizing Him as sovereign Most High. Yet, He continues to have his hand stretched out still to those who will trust Him completely. Trust, trust, trust I say in the spirit of truth because His creation without the spirit to lead and guide will go a way that seemeth right to a man, but will lead into death and destruction.  Narrow is the way and straight is the gate. Repent, seek His Spirit, and all His Holy Spirit to reign completely. Do not give heed to seducing spirits and doctrines of demons that present you with rudiments of this world and teaching according to the precepts of men. Surrender while He may be found. He is coming and His reward is with. There will continue to be judgment by the sword, famine, and pestilence. However, those who choose him as a refuge will be shielded.

​Philippians 4:8
 
FINALLY, BRETHREN, WHATSOEVER THINGS ARE TRUE, WHATSOEVER THINGS ARE HONEST, WHATSOEVER THINGS ARE JUST, WHATSOEVER THINGS ARE PURE, WHATSOEVER THINGS ARE LOVELY, WHATSOEVER THINGS ARE OF GOOD REPORT, IF THERE BE ANY VIRUTE, IF THERE BE ANY ORAISE, THINK ON THESE THINGS.
 
At the time of the writing of this book, the apostle Paul had ben imprisoned. Prior to being thrown into prison he had affected thousands of lives having been used to work signs, miracles, and wonders. He compelled people to repent and believe. He had impacted so many lives and word spreads that he has been shut up and his followers write to him. Love makes people do crazy things and warfare makes people do even crazier things. These two powerful things can affect the state of mind of any individual wanting to do the will and purpose of Christ. However, the Lord Jese Christ says to be in the same mind of the Lord.
In these last and evil days, the adversary is attempting to set traps and snares for the chosen ones of God. Oftentimes, the warfare starts with thoughts of the mind with attempts to get us to act contrary to the word and sin against God.
We know that the persecution and the intensity of affliction amount the true saints of God is what was the driving force to the dispensation of the gospel. Paul often mentioned to the chosen, “you are my letter written upon the tablet of my heart.” He stated that the things which happened to him was for a testimony and for the furtherance of the gospel.
Through all of the tests, trials, and the many afflictions; we must have the purified mind of Christ.
The Lord has used Paul to compel us to think on the things that are true. This is mentioned first. Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life. Yet, the adversary comes to create chaos, distraction, and turmoil by bringing thoughts that are not true.
He commands us also to think on things that are honest, it is interesting that the Lord makes a distinction between true things and honesty within this scripture. They are not the same although they are corelated. We must be honest with ourselves about who we are in Christ. Who Christ is to us, and his will for us in his everlasting kingdom.
He called us out of the world that is full of darkness into his marvelous light. He chose us as his own and sanctified us to be separate. We must be honest about what that really means especially when Jesus has poured upon us his Holy Spirit. To whom much is given, much is required. He called us to a higher standard of righteousness and stewardship.
He has also shared that when we seek ye first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, then all other things shall be added, that includes holiness. The Lord often used the phrase, “hold fast to the truth”, because the adversary during the last and evil days comes to weary the true believer and beguile them with seducing spirits and doctrines of demons. Therefore, he says, “hold fast to what you have been taught”, because it can be snatched from you if you allow the adversary to steal the truth and the honest things that are given from above.
With honesty comes integrity. You’re moved by the Holy Spirit to do what is righteous in the sight of God even when it seems like no one else may be holding you accountable. He trusts us with His Spirit and His word. We must be honest with ourselves about the measure of faith that the Lord has given us. The apostle Peter had been used to work signs, miracles, and wonders and walked with Jesus while he ministered in his earthen vessel. He had been given power from on high. Peter told Jesus with his mouth that he loved him, and that he would die for him. At one point the Lord openly rebuked Peter and stated that he was peaking these things of men’s precept and not savoring the things that be of God (Matt 16:23). He said what he thought the Lord wanted to hear. He said he would die for the Lord and yet he denied him, not once or twice, but three times. At that time his measure of faith wasn’t strong enough that he would die for him though he wanted it to be. We must be honest. The Lord Jesus requires complete surrender. We must be honest when we ask ourselves, “Have you completely surrendered?  Have you laid it all at the altar of your heart before the Lord?” We must be honest about the role that we desire the Lord to play in our lives. He has several names and desires to move by the operations of the Holy Spirit. He is our redeemer. Are you allowing him to redeem you? He is a Father. Are you allowing him to do the leading and guiding, counseling, instructing, and providing? We must be honest about who we are allowing him to be, because he is a gentleman and will not force himself upon us.
Besides the spiritual warfare of the mind, we must look at our actions and our works of faith. We must be honest when we examine our walk. Are you doing what the Lord has instructed you to do in his word? Are you bearing the fruits of righteousness? Are you doing his will or your own?
If we are not honest with our heart then we can give advantage to the adversary to war with us that much the more. Then it is easier for us to give heed to lies and deception and leave the hedge of protection, within the narrow part of the truth. Straight is the gate, and narrow is the way.
Paul encourages us also to think on things that are just. Jesus is our righteousness and he is the just judge. We are living in the end times where the adversaries are bringing about several spiritual movements of falsehood. These movements contain familiar spirits and provoke people to dwell on unresolves issues of the past. The adversary will attempt to get folks to focus on how the days of old were. He wants you to listen to old music and also to remember old injustices. Jesus is God of all truth and newness. He gives us renewed minds. He gives us renewed strength in our inner man day by day. The old man is put away and a new man emerges.
There were times in the past when I wasn’t that close to the Lord. I was inappropriately touched by a family member and when I finally had the strength to tell my mother, it didn’t seem to me that she handled the circumstance properly. Then I personally wen tot the local police. They didn’t investigate. The told me that sexual abuse cases were hard to prosecute, and that it would be his word against mine. Although I was hurt, I forgave quickly. Fortunately, the spirit of the Lord moved upon my heart to not hold things and to forgive. I had to see this person often. I had some anger with regards to the response of the local police. However, I believed in Jesus and he comforted me concerning the matter. I prayed about the circumstance and stopped looking for justice to be handled in natural way, and to see justice with a natural eye.
Thinking on the just things, I thought of reasons to show mercy. The Lord said, “blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy.” He also commanded us to learn what it means that he will have mercy and not sacrifice. Vengeance is the Lord’s.
He will handle things when our obedience is fulfilled (II Cor 10:6). The just shall live by faith. Therefore, if we think on faithful things we will be justified before God. Our thoughts will turn into actions of faith. It is just to seek for the Spirit of God. It is just to praise. It is just to worship him with your whole heart. It is just to pray to know the will of the Lord. It is just to wait on the Lord when all you know to do is stand. Be unshakeable, unmovable, and ever abounding in the love of Christ.
The things that are pure are the heart of God and the love he has for his children. The Lord Jesus stated that we must have clean hands and a pure heart (Ps 24:4). Keep your hands clean by completely trusting the Lord Jesus Christ.
The adversary is the author of all manners of evil and he is good at bringing false accusations, lies, and hypocrisy. Stay the course and walk by the Spirit to not fulfill the lusts of the flesh. That doesn’t mean to let your guard down and allow people to run over you. Guard your heart and protect the spirit of God within you. Be wise as a serpent and yet gentle as a dove. Abstain from all appearance of evil and if it be possible, be a peacemaker.
In order to have clean hands and a pure heart, we must ask. The Lord says we can ask anything in his name and he will do it and that our joy may be full. He also said when we seek his kingdom that holiness would come.
We must allow the Holy Spirit to reign; His Holy Spirit has the refining fire that cleanses. We shouldn’t grieve the spirit or quench the spirit. He purifies us and makes us white as snow. He makes our prayers pure and our supplications pure in the sight of God. Think on the pure things…your testimony. What brought you to Him? How did he make you over? How did he heal you? These things are the pure love of Christ.
I was going through several tests and trials at an appointed time. There was a series of spiritual storms. Someone approached me and asked, “what are you doing? Are you living off of love?” At the time I laughed it off, but the truth of the mater was that I was. I was living off the purified love of Christ. I was living the testimony because Jesus Christ mended my broken heart. He set me free. He healed my backsliding ways. What he did was pure. He didn’t hold anything over my head or force me to do anything. He simply answered a prayer and said surrender, trust him completely, and he would take me where I needed to go.
When I was first starting in ministry, I would visit the nursing homes. It wasn’t a new thing; I was taught to go as a child. Our Sunday school would load up early Sunday morning and we would sing hymns and songs at our local convalescent center. It was something I looked forward to. The residents enjoyed the fellowship and I loved being part of a group That was a lovely thing.
The Lord also mentions thinking on things that be of good report. These days the adversary is waring so much with the saints of God, attempting to have the ministry blamed. He seeks advantage for controversy and scandal. He wants to ruin the testimony of Christ in you. However, Jesus Christ our savior says believe his report and hold fast to the truth. Folks are quick to give a report to others when you’re down and when you’ve come short of the glory of God. It’s easy to kick people when they are down. Folks can be judgmental about outward appearance when the Lord is making himself known in the midst of your circumstance. We must focus on the good report that we can see with our spiritual eye and spoke those things that be not as though they were.
Think on virtuous things. The virtue is the Lord’s presence upon you. He says guard your virtue. It is the Lord’s glory within you, the spiritual portion of you. I delight to do the Lord’s will and when I think on those times that he used ne to do a work, I rejoice all over again. I must also mention that it motivated me to get back on the battlefield.
Your praise restores your strength. Praise is the answer to every problem and every circumstance. Though I had been gifted with worship, the Lord taught me to praise. Any true worshipper knows that worship is easy. It comes from the heart. However, praise is a sacrifice. Trials and tests often brought me to my knees to cry to the Lord, and to pray and seek. Then, there was a day he spoke and said, “get off your knees and praise.” Getting down with a circumstance is simple…to ground yourself. However, the Lord said, “If I be lifted up, I will draw all men unto me.” He is to be lifted up. Lift up your heads O’ ye gates and the King of Glory shall come in! You must put on the garment of praise to lift the spirits of heaviness.

MATTHEW 9:12-13

BUT WHEN JESUS HEARD THAT, HE SAID UNTO THEM, THEY THAT BE WHOLE NEED NOT A PHYSICIAN, BUT THEY THAT ARE SICK.
BUT GO YE AND LEARN WHAT THAT MEANETH, I WILL HAVE MERCY AND NOT SACRIFICE: FOR I AM NOT COME TO CALL THE RIGHTEOUS BUT SINNERS TO REPENTANCE.
JEREMIAH 8:14-22
IS THERE NO BALM IN GILEAD, IS THERE NO PHYSICIAN THERE? WHY THEN IS NOT THE HEALTH OF THE DAUGHTER OF MY PEOPLE RECOVERED?
WHY DO WE SIT STILL? ASSEMBLE YOURSELVES, AND LET US ENTER INTO THE DEFENCED CITIES, AND LET US BE SILENT THERE: FOR THE LORD OUR GOD HATH PUT US TO SILENCE, AND GIVEN US WATER OF GALL TO DRINK BECAUSE WE HAVE SINNED AGAINST THE LORD.
WE LOOKED FOR PEACE, BUT NO GOOD CAME; AND FOR A TIME OF HEALTH, AND BEHOLD TROUBLE.
WHEN I WOULD COMFORT MYSELF AGAINST SORROW, MY HEART IS FAINT WITHIN ME.
BEHOLD, THE VOICE OF THE CRY OF THE DAUGHTER OF MY PEOPLE BECAUSE OF THEM THAT DWELL IN A FAR COUNTRY:
IS NOT THE LORD IN ZION? IS NOT THE KING IN HER? WHY HAVE THEY PROVOKED ME TO ANGER WITH THEIR GRAVEN IMAGES AND WITH STRANGE VANITIES?
THE HARVEST IS PAST, THE SUMMER IS ENDED, AND WE ARE NOT SAVED.
FOR THE HURT OF THE DAUGTHER OF MY PEOPLE AM I HURT. I AM BLACK. ASTONISHMENT HAVE TAKEN  HOLD OF ME.

THE WORD SPEAKS VOLUMES FOR HIMSELF. HOW DO WE CONTINUE TO GO THE WAY OF THE WORLD AND NOT SEEK THE FACE OF GOD? HOW DO YOU ACT AS IF YOU HAVE IT ALL COVERED ON YOUR OWN CONTINUING TO ELIMINATE THE SPIRIT OF THE LIVING GOD? HOW HAVE YOU GONE TO THE PHYSICIANS OF THE WORLD WHEN JESUS HAS STATED THAT HE IS OUR HEALER? IF WE HAVE HEAVENLY SEATS WITH HIM, SHOULD NOT OUR DELIVERANCE BE FROM ON HIGH? SHOULDN’T OUR HEALINGS BE A SPIRITUAL ONE? WE CANNOT PUT A BAND-AID ON SPIRITUAL JUDGMENT. HAVE YOU SEEN THE WORDS OF THE HOLY PROPHETS MANIFEST BEFORE YOUR VERY EYES? YET, THIS PEOPLE DRAWETH NEAR TO ME WITH THEIR MOUTH, AND HONOURETH ME WITH THEIR LIPS, BUT THEIR HEART IS FAR FROM ME.

​ZEPHANIAH 2:1-3
GATHER YOURSELVES TOGETHER, YEA, GATHER YOUSELVES TOGETHER, O’ NATIONS NOT DESIRED;
BRFORE THE DECREE BRING FORTH, BEFORE THE DAY PASS AS THE CHAFF, BEFORE THE FIERCE ANGER OF THE LORD COME UPON YOU, BRFORE THE DAY OF THE LORD’S ANGER COME UPON YOU.
SEEK YE THE LORD, ALL YE MEEK OF THE EARTH, WHICH HAVE WROUGHT HIS JUDGMENT; SEEK RIGHTEOUSNESS, SEEK MEEKNESS; IT MAY BE THAT YE SHALL BE HID IN THE DAY OF THE LORD’S ANGER.
 
The prophet Zephaniah is moved by the Spirit of God to relay the anger of the Lord toward his children. The Lord is furious. The people have turned their backs on their savior ad has given themselves to idolatry. They have acknowledged higher powers that are not angels of light.
Jesus is the first and the Lost. He is our creator. Instead of seeking and inquiring of Him, the people have gone on their own. The y worship the hosts of Heaven provoking the Lord to jealousy. They seek strange gods. After all the Lord has done, with pouring his spirit upon them. He has sent forth miracles, signs, and wonders. The children have delivered themselves to the slaughter.
The prophet urges the children to gather themselves to hear the word of God. They are not desirable to the Lord because of their sin. The Lord Jesus loves his children so much that even in the midst of his anger he sends Zephaniah with a message of compassion and tender mercy. He says you haven’t sought me. I’m giving you room to repent. Do not depend on your own selves. Do not depend on false coverings that cannot save in the day of my anger. Do not continue to allow yourselves to be seduced with food from the tree of knowledge. I am the bread of life. Seek me for righteous judgment. Seek me for cover so that you are hid in the day of wrath. The Lord will punish those are not dressed appropriately when he comes. Do not settle with the thought that he is not paying attention. He is coming and his reward is with him. The devastation that will come upon the disobedient cannot be put into words.
Zephaniah 1:14-15
The great day if the Lord is near, it is near, and hasteth greatly, even the voice of the day of the Lord: The mighty man shall cry bitterly.
The day is a day of wrath, a day of wasteness and desolation, a day of darkness, and gloominess, a day of clouds and thick darkness.
Forsake the abominable things and return to your savior. There is no other deliverer. There is no peace to the wicked. Jesus Christ is the prince of peace. There Is no other…There is no other, I say, There is no other.

​PSALM 6:1
O’ LORD REBUKE ME NOT IN THINE ANGER, NEITHER CHASTEN ME IN THY HOT DISPLEASURE.
 
I HAVE LOVED THOSE THAT YOU HAVE TRUSTED ME WITH. YOU HAVE USED ME IN MIGHTY WAYS TO TEACH AND HEAL THOSE THAT YOU’VE CHOSEN. I HAVE WET MY BED WITH TEARS IN THE NIGHT FOR THOSE WHO FIND IT SO HARD TO RECEIVE YOU. THOSE WHO STOOD IN THEIR OWN WAY. THOSE WHO WERE REJECTED BY PARENTS AND LOVED ONES THINKING THEY WERE REJECTED BY YOU. THOSE WHO WEREN’T TRAINED TO CALL ON YOUR NAME. O’ MY GOD, MENDER OF BROKEN HEARTS, MY DARLING, HIDE NOT THY FACE FROM ME. IF I COULD PLEAD MY CAUSE I WOULD. IF I COULD STAND IN THE GAP I WOULD. SURELY YOU HAVE MADE ME A SIGN, YET THOSE WHO SEE ME THINK EVERYTHING IS FINE WITH THEMSELVES. THEY THINK I MESSED UP. THEY THINK I’VE GONE WHERE NO MAN DESIRE TO GO. THEY LAUGH ME TO SCORN, MOCK, SHAKE THEIR HEAD AS ONE YOU’VE MADE AN OUTCAST. THEY STARE IN AWE AS ONE YOU’VE CAST AWAY AS AN ENEMY. YET THEY DON’T CONSIDER THEIR OWN WAY. YET IF I COULD GRANT THEIR PETITIONS, I WOULD. IF I COULD GIVE THEM THEIR DESIRES, I WOULD. I HAVE BEEN OBEDIENT TO MAKE MYSELF TRANSPARENT TO PORTRAY YOUR TENDER MERCIES AND LOVING KINDNESSES IN HOPE OF PROVOKING THAT PASSIONATE PURSUIT FOR THE LOVE THAT YOU’VE SHOWN ME. OH LORD HOW AM I ENCOMPASSED WITH SHAME, THE VERY SHAME YOU PAID THE PRICE FOR.
UNTO THEE WILL I CRY, O LORD MY ROCK; BE NOT SILENT TO ME: LEST, IF THOU BE SILENT TO ME, I BECOME LIKE THEM THAT GO DOWN TO THE PIT. PSALM 28:1

​COLOSSIANS 3:5
MORTIFY THEREFORE YOUR MEMBERS WHICH ARE UPON THE EARTH; FORNICATION, UNCLEANESS, INORDINATE AFFECTION, EVIL CONCUPISCENCE, COVETOUSNESS, WHICH IS IDOLATRY. FOR WHICH THINGS SAKE THE WRATH OF GOD COMETH UPON THE CHILDREN OF DISOBEDIENCE.
THE LORD PLEADS WITH THE CHILDREN TO WALK AFTER THE SPIRIT OF GOD TO NOT FULFIL THE LUSTS OF THE FLESH. HE SAYS WHEN WE DO NOT PUT TO DEATH THOSE DESIRES OF THE FLESH, IT IS CONSIDERED TO HIM IDOLATRY. THIS TYPE OF IDOLATRY IS SELF RIGHTEOUSNESS. WHEN A PERSON PUTS THEMSELVES BEFORE THE WILL AND PURPOSE OF CHRIST. BY DOING SO CAUSES THE WRATH OF GOD TO COME UPON THOSE WHO WANT TO WALK IN DISOBEDIENCE. THE LORD CHASTENS HIS CHILDREN BUT WE DON’T WANT TO WALK AS CHILDREN OF DISOBEDIENCE BECAUSE WE WALK AFTER THE CARES OF THE WORLD INSTEAD OF SEEKING HIM FOR HIS SPIRIT OF HOLINESS.
 
PUT ON THEREFORE, AS THE ELECT OF GOD, HOLY AND BELOVED, BOWELS OF MERCIES, KINDNESS, HUMBLENESS OF MIND, MEEKNESS, LONGSUFFERING;
FORBEARING ONE ANOTHER, AND FORGIVING ONE ANOTHER, IF ANY MAN HAVE A QUARREL AGAINST ANY: EVEN AS CHRIST FORGAVE YOU, SO ALSO THE REMNANT WHO KNOW THAT IT’S TIME TO DO THE WILL AND PURPOSE OF CHRIST.
TO THOSE WHO HAVE PROCLAIMED THAT THEY WILL BE FAITHFUL SERVANTS OF THE MOST HIGH. I THANK MY GOD ALWAYS FOR THE PRAYER WARRIORS WHO CONTINUE TO PUT ON THE WHOLE ARMOR AND CONTEND FOR THE FAITH IN TIMES SUCH AS THESE. THESE ARE NOT THE DAYS WHERE MANY WILL PROCLAIM THE TRUE GOSPEL OR TO CRY IN THE WILDERNESS MAKE THE PATHS OF THE LORD STRAIGHT. THESE ARE NOT DAYS WHERE WE SEE VERY MANY TRUE WORSHIPPERS PRAISING AND LIFTING UP THE NAME OF JESUS. THESE ARE THE DAYS WHERE PURIFIED LOVE WAXES COLD BECAUSE THE INIQUITY AND SIN CONTINUES TO ABOUND. THERE ARE WARS AND RUMORS OF WARS. THESE SEASONS ARE WHERE YOU CANNOT TELL THEM APART. MANY ARE FALLING BY THE WAYSIDE TO FALSE DOCTRINE AND SEDUCING SPIRITS. THE MOTHERS ARE AGAINST DAUGHTER AND FATHERS AGAINST SONS. THOSE IN THE HOUSEHOLD HAVE BECOME ADVERSARIES. THE TIME IS TO CONTINUE TO WATCH AND PRAY. STAND FOR HOLINESS AND STAND FOR RIGHTEOUSNESS. GUARD YOUR HEART. GUARD THE CHILDREN. TEACH THE WORD ACCORDING TO THE SPIRIT OF GOD REGARDLESS IF IT IS NOT POPULAR. REMEMBER THE VOW AND COVENANT THAT JESUS CHIRST MADE TO YOU AND YOU MADE TO HIM. HE WILL LEAD AND GUIDE YOU IN THE PATH OF ALL TRUTHS IF YOU DO HIS WILL AND NOT LEAN TO YOUR OWN UNDERSTANDING. WE MUST RECOGNIZE THE WARFARE AND BE WISE AS SERPENTS AND YET GENTLE AS DOVES. THE LORD IS THERE EVEN WHILE THE ENEMIES CONTINUE TO SURROUND US AT THE GATE. JESUS IS THERE. WE MUST BE WRAPPED UP AND TIED UP IN HIS WORD AND LET THE FLESH BE PUT UNDER SUBJECTION. ABSTAIN FROM ALL APPEARANCE OF EVIL.TRUST IN THE LORD AND DO GOOD. SPEAK THE WORD OUT OF YOUR MOUTH AND THE LORD JESUS CHIST WILL PERFORM HIS WORD IN DUE SEASON. DO NOT BE WEARY IN WELL DOING. I REPEAT DO NOT GROW FAINT. PRAISE. SEAK. STAND. BELIEVE ONLY. THE KINGDOM OF GOD IS EVERLASTING. KNOW IT. BELIEVE AND STAND ON THAT FACT. THEREFORE, SEEK YE FIRST THE KINGDOM AND EVERTHING ELSE SHALL BE ADDED. YOU WILL SEE THE KINGDOM COME FRONT AND CENTER. THOSE WHO KNOW HIM WILL KNOW HIM AND THOSE WHO DON’T WON’T. MEANING, THE JUST SHALL LIVE BY FAITH. REMEMBER THE UNITY MUST BE BY THE HOLY SPIRIT AND YOU SHALL KNOW THEM BY THEIR FRUITS. I HAVE NOT FAILED IN MY PLAN FOR REDEMPTION… I HAVE NOT FAILED AT BEING A SAVIOR TO THOSE WHO ARE WILLING TO RECEIVE ME. I AM THERE AND MY SPIRIT, THE HOLY SPIRIT WILL REIGN FOR ETERNITY.
1 JOHN 4:6
WE ARE OF GOD: HE THAT KNOWETH GOS HEARETH US; HE THAT IS NOT OF GOD HEARETH NOT US. HEARBY KNOW WE THE SPIRIT OF TRUTH, AND THE SPIRIT OF ERROR.
 1 JOHN 2:24
LET THEREFORE ABIDE IN YOU, WHICH YE HAVE HEARD FROM THE BEGINNING. IF THAT WHICH YOU HAVE HEARD FROM THE BEGINNING SHALL REMAIN IN YOU, YOU SHALLL CONTINUE IN THE SON, AND IN THE FATHER. 
O DO YE.
