When the dust settled from the destruction that had taken the place, I had seen many things spiritual and natural just as well. There were trials. There were tests. There were troubles and distress. I processed it all and realized I’m still here. The spiritual warfare did come and is raging forth and I’m still here. I meditated on the Word and was led to read the account Job. There are so many revelations in the details of his account especially when your relationship with the Father is on trial. Initially we are told of his great abundance and how he was blessed beyond measure. We hear of his family and his children in particular and he would pray for them often. He talked to the Lord and when the turmoil started, and he began to lose things. He fell down and worshipped the Lord God. That was only the first chapter; meaning things were just getting started. As you read through the following chapters his friends come with the intent to help and comfort, yet their idea of comfort is lacking and is filled with emptiness and a form of fleshly judgment. Much time is spent reasoning and rationalizing Proverbs of what they know about God. What God would do, what God has done, Who God blessed and the like. They’ve got God all figured out. No one offered to pray for him. No one offered to worship with him. Situations that we see often has us look at the person, the creation, instead of the creator.
There was another account of a blind man.
John 9:1-3
And his disciples asked him, saying, master, who did sin, this man, or his parents, that he was born blind? Jesus answered, neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents: But that the works of God should be manifest in him. I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work!
People often conclude from the outward appearance of a situation that someone must have sinned. They look for fault. They look to judge. Instead, we should hope for a work that would glorify God.
No matter the circumstance or situation that one is in the midst of, ask the question, has God changed? Doesn’t the Lord remain the same? Isn’t the Lord God still the Author and Finisher of our Faith? Have the heavens become vacant and the Ancient of Days left his heavenly abode? Has the power of God left from on High? Isn’t Jesus Christ still a Savior? Isn’t he still the King of Glory and Refuge? Has his plan stopped because of your issues?
There are many smart people that operate with logic. Are you a smart person? He seeks faithful servants, not smart people. He seeks true worshippers who will pray and praise through the problem and elevate above earthly circumstance. We can’t wait until the battle is over, but we must shout like we know we’ve won the war. We have been given victory through Jesus Christ.
So, when I think about being on my bed of affliction and how the Lord kept me, I shout right now because I’m still here! When I think about the many battles with witches, warlocks, and sorcerers who tried to annihilate me and steal my joy and my strength, yet I’m still here. I shout right now! When folks laughed at me, mocked me, and thought that I had gone to a place no man, woman, or child ever desired to go, as if Jesus left me forsaken, yet I’m still here. I shout right now! How they tried to stiff me in every way they could, yet I’m still here. I shout right now. How the enemy tried to take residence in my mind hoping, I would give up on my Savior and go astray, yet I’m still here. So, I’m crazy enough to shout right now!

It is my desire to encourage you in your daily walk to understand that Jesus is real. His Holy Spirit is real. He hasn't failed at redeeming those that desire to be redeemed. He loves you. He has called you out of darkness into the marvellous light. You are a peculiar people. What does peculiar mean? You're different from the world. Yet made like Him. He will never leave you nor forsake you. You must seek after the Lord Jesus for His Holy Spirit. It is most imperative. This is a sense of urgency. You need His Holy Spirit to keep you. This is the only way that you won't waver and that you can be led in the right direction. When you look around and see what's going on and how the world continues to make changes while eliminating His Spirit, it is devastating if you don't have His comforter. The times are coming to an end and changes are taking place rapidly. They are putting the enemy up in high places and eliminated Jesus Christ and His Spirit. There's many operating and ruling with cruelty and by force instead with the Spirit of longsuffering and loving kindness. The Lord spoke of these things by His prophet Ezekiel in ch 34. There is a spirit in operation but that spirit of the age is sensual, it is not Holy. We must not be deceived. God has nt given us the spirit of fear, but He has given us the spirit of power, of love, and a sound mind. You must believe these things. Sometimes it is difficult when you have heard a word from the Lord but your eyes see false signs and lies in hypocrisy. Though those things, we have been warned about just as well. The lord stated that the things we see, because of deception running rapid, the Lord shortened the days, lest the very elect would be deceived. These demonic forces are real. The spiritual warfare is real. The Lord has not been slack with His coming but desires all to come to repentance and knowledge of Him. We must be saturated with His presence and obey His orders, know Him, know His voice, pray, and do not lean to your own understanding. These are not happy times for the saints of the Most High, but you can take refuge in Him. Have joy knowing that your residence is with Him and that He is everlasting. Seek those things which are above and be not content with earthly things that profit nothing. He is still working signs, miracles, and wonders. He is still a God of deliverance. He is still a healer and waymaker. He is a mender of broken hearts. He will be everything you need Him to be, if you allow Him to be. There is nothing that has happened to any of His people that He doesn't know about. Trust in Him with your whole heart and let Him reign as King completely.

 When I first received my calling from the Lord Jesus and I went forth to do His will and purpose, oftentimes after a service there was one who would ask the question, “Who is you covering?” After all of that good word, people were rejoicing, they were revived, they were healed, they were delivered of sickness and infirmities, the Lord Jesus poured out His Spirit in a mighty way to elevate the faith of those in His presence. Yet, they still aske the question, “Who is covering you?” The people acted as if the King of Kings was not enough, as if the Spirit of God was not enough. For some reason (something in them) they wanted to give a fleshly being credit for what the Spirit had done and was willing to do for those to be closer to their savior.
I’ve seen Apostles and prophets requiring things of people, outrageous things, which they claimed it was supposed to build character and to test their loyalty and faithfulness to the ministry. Things done behind the scenes which is shameful to even be uttered. Yet, these souls chosen by God, they brought their burdens, they brought their brokenness to where they thought the feet of Jesus was, his alter, and people claiming to be His servants.
These Apostles, these prophets, these lay persons whom also had humble beginnings and were filled with the Holy Spirit; many were abusers of their position of authority, and the privilege of the confidence given with such positions, knowing and taking advantage of the vulnerability of the desperate souls that they were the gatekeeper for.
These sheep went willingly in hopes of finding their Sheppard. They wanted a different way of life They wanted what Jesus had promised them. They were willing to do anything to please the Lord. In the book of acts when the people of God saw the signs, miracles, and wonders, they began to worship the disciples themselves. Yet, the Apostles torn their clothing and stated that things ought not be done in such a way. For they too were fellow servants and brethren as we are.
Acts 14:14-15
Which when the Apostles, Barnabas and Paul, heard of, they rent their clothes, and ran in among the people, crying out, and saying, Sirs, why do ye these things? We also are men of like passions with you, and preach unto you that ye should turn from these vanities, unto the Living God, which made Heaven, and earth, and the sea, and all things that are therein:
Good leaders teach others how to do greater than they. Though Jesus was the Master, He came as a servant and then said a greater works will you do because I go to the Father. So these things are brought to our remembrance so that we know that when you encounter true servants of God, true sheppards, they will not require you or desire for you to relinquish your authority. They will not want to be your God, but will desire to equip you on how to seek God on your own and get in His presence wherever you are. They would want you to do the will and purpose of Christ and be who you’re called to be in Him. They would want you to be an effective member of the body with the ultimate goal of unity in the faith by His Holy Spirit. If leadership is requiring things contrary to Word, things giving them glory instead of the Most High, then that is false humility and there is no righteousness in it. It’s propaganda. God is not the author of confusion. He is a gentleman. He is not a bully. He doesn’t desire to humiliate His children, His bride. He loves you so much He died to live in eternity with you. Do not be deceived. Seek Jesus for His Holy Spirit and do not take down your standards of righteousness.

 In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ our Savior, I greet you. It is with gentleness and yet a sense of urgency that I write unto you the children of God and more particular the elders concerning a Godly inheritance. Jesus Christ came and during His earthly ministry He set the standards and pattern for us concerning such things. He pleaded with the people simply to believe that the works He did was of the Father that sent Him. He and the Father are one (see John 10:38). We must give and provide the way that Jesus did. Even with His servant Joshua He gathered the people and told them to spy the land. He told them it was reserved for them, but there would be a fight. However, if they were obedient to do His will and followed His commandments in faith, they would enter in. However, to the fearful and the unbelieving, they would not. They were also given instructions to fight for their brothers first, then enter in on their own accord.
II Cor 12:14
Behold, the third time I am ready to come to you; and I will not be burdensome to you, for I seek not yours, but you: for the children ought not lay up for the parents, but the parents for the children.
The Word is given that the responsibility is on the parents to lay up and provide for the children. However, the Lord did specify conditions especially for those of unbelief. Unbelief, meaning they weren’t obedient to the commandments of righteousness by faith. Wasn’t it Jesus who stated, “I go to prepare a place for you, if it were not so I would not have told you?” Likewise the parents as the head ought to lay up for the children and teach them the ways of holiness. What’s this I hear of parents wanting children to lay up for them? We ought not pervert the gospel. There is an order to how our Father in Heaven operates. He gives instructions in how to go about doing things, you seen an example of this with the battle of Jericho. There was instructions given by the Lord. He told the priests how many times to circle the city and then to praise (sound the trumpet). The instructions were simple. The instructions was reasonable. Praise the Lord! The Lord also described our inheritance to us. He said how things were to be in the Heaven and in the earth. He described a new Heaven and a new earth in detail in the book of Revelation. So, while we wait, we ought to establish a goodly heritage for the Lord for the things that remain which He has given us charge over. Let’s not do anything half-hearted or something the would be considered “less than” a perfect work in the Lord. If you know that Jesus wouldn’t do it, and it’s not holy, done in the spirit of excellence, then it’s not in the spirit of love and truth. There was a special place for the priests and the prophets. Where can one go to inquire of the true and living God? Is there a prophet in the land? Where are the children of the Most High? Take your place in the green pastures, hide not. Do His will. Do His purpose. Stand and see the salvation of the Lord.
