What do you want me to do for you?

“What do you want me to do for you?”

“Lord,” he said, “I want to see!” 

LUKE 18:41

When once you become one with the Lord all is given - truth revealed - suffering ended. For suffering in truth is to learn by divinity - by faith. To suffer after the full measure of faith is received is not the way. For Jesus suffered such that in him we would become the full measure of faith from his heavenly task for our heavenly task.

The truth is - Jesus lives. He lives in us - those consecrated and purified in Jesus Christ are one with him as he is one with the father - forever and ever, amen.

“And it is impossible to please God without faith. Anyone who wants to come to him must believe that God exists and that he rewards those who sincerely seek him.” Hebrews 11:6 

“So faith comes from hearing, that is, hearing the Good News about Christ.” Romans 10:17 

“In his kindness God called you to share in his eternal glory by means of Christ Jesus. So after you have suffered a little while, he will restore, support, and strengthen you, and he will place you on a firm foundation.” 1 Peter 5:10 

“Even though Jesus was God’s Son, he learned obedience from the things he suffered.” Hebrews 5:8 

“So then, since Christ suffered physical pain, you must arm yourselves with the same attitude he had, and be ready to suffer, too. For if you have suffered physically for Christ, you have finished with sin.” 1 Peter 4:1 

Pray For Life

  "If you see any brother or sister commit a sin that does not lead to death, you should pray and God will give them life. I refer to those whose sin does not lead to death. There is a sin that leads to death."

1 JOHN 5:16

The power of heaven lives in prayer - the prayer of a true spirit of God. Let not your own walk to righteousness make you a zealot for correction. The Lord gives you his spirit such that he can serve his will in your flesh. This requires you getting out of your flesh and letting Jesus spirit live complete in you.

In this way - the intercessory prayer is powerful as it carries the power and truth of the spirit of Jesus Christ. We are to be servants of the Lord for his righteous glory such that we too may be saved - such that we may glorify Christ Jesus in us.

Jesus is not glorified in the hypocrisy of correcting one that is unaware of their sin - while the one who corrects also sins. To guide and teach is to love - to be a mouthpiece of rebuke without introducing Jesus through prayer is not leading a person of sin into righteousness but rather keeping them in the dark. Jesus desires a personal relationship with all of his people - a relationship in which the Holy Spirit will be born in them - and the Spirit will dwell with them and teach the one who was in the dark to live in the light.

Jesus Christ is the way to heaven and the power of the Holy Spirit is necessary to no longer sin. There is no set of words that can teach a human to not sin - this was represented by the first covenant given to Moses - in which all people fell short. Jesus came to set all people free through the power of re-birth in the Holy Spirit - the Spirit of truth. 

"Therefore I tell you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven people, but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven. And whoever speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven, either in this age or in the age to come." Matthew 12:31-32

God is Spirit, and His worshipers must worship Him in spirit and in truth.” John 4:24

The Power Of Intercessory Prayer Is Worship

 "The Lord saw it, and it displeased him that there was no judgment.

And he saw that there was no man, and wondered that there was no intercessor: therefore his arm brought salvation unto him; and his righteousness, it sustained him."

ISAIAH 59:15-16

Intercessory prayer is the key to the power of the Kingdom of Heaven. All Power comes through prayer - with the Holy Spirit. Praying in the spirit is worshipping in the spirit - let praise spring from your heart - let your mind relax. Stop trying to comprehend what your feeble human mind will never be able to do.

God is greater than all - the spirit of God powers the flesh through prayer - through worship and praise of Jesus Christ. There is one righteous Lord - for your prayer to be most powerful - praise Jesus and pray with him for his will in you.

People often pray from a position of disbelief that God can do what he says he will. There is no power in disbelief. When Jesus prayed to wake up his friend Lazarus, he said, “Father, I thank you that you have heard me. I knew that you always hear me, but I said this for the benefit of the people standing here, that they may believe that you sent me.” John 11:41-42 Jesus always prayed from the full understanding that God will do what he says - and he always had faith to complete what he was told to do from his Father in heaven.

Faith is the way to Jesus and being obedient to the Holy Spirit that dwells within you is how the tasks of God are completed through you. It is in worship to King Jesus that his Holy Spirit will pray within you - on behalf of God - for you and his will to be done. The power of God is unleashed through you for his namesake in worship of Jesus Christ. The Holy Spirit lives in worship. The power of God is not commanded by people and has no effect without Jesus. Jesus takes those who believe in him and worship him to his Father in heaven - there is no other gate that enters the throne room.

“As for me, this is my covenant with them,” says the Lord. “My Spirit, who is on you, will not depart from you, and my words that I have put in your mouth will always be on your lips, on the lips of your children and on the lips of their descendants—from this time on and forever,” says the Lord." Isaiah 59:21

"The world’s sin is that it refuses to believe in me." John 16:9

"When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all truth. He will not speak on his own but will tell you what he has heard. He will tell you about the future. He will bring me glory by telling you whatever he receives from me. All that belongs to the Father is mine; this is why I said, ‘The Spirit will tell you whatever he receives from me." John 16:13-15

Awake For Christ

"If the owner of the house had known at what hour the thief was coming, he would not have let his house be broken into. You also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him.”

LUKE 12:39-40 

There is nothing to prepare for except the Lord. The truth is the spirit of Jesus Christ - the most high God. This revelation is the cornerstone of life - no other matter is of relevance. The power and truth are in Jesus in all things. 

Prepare not for the world or its indulgencies - but rather - prepare your spirit - such that when our Lord comes you shall be clean - made whole in the spirit - purified in his blood. Nothing else matters. Find peace and love in Jesus - abide in no other interest.

It is easy to be distracted - caught up in the activities of daily living. It is substantially more difficult to be prepare for the coming of the Lord. This preparation takes faith and strength in the face of the call of work, family, friends and other self-driven obligations at any given moment. Occupying space and time is simple - focusing on the Lord takes great effort as he does not disclose the time of his arrival - but yet asks you to be ready in mind, body and spirit. 

The master in which you serve is the master that you choose to occupy your time and efforts. What good is the knowledge of Christ when you are not doing what he asks? What good is being aware of scripture only to fall back on your emotions in the natural? What good is it to gain wealth and then not feed and help those in need? We are called not for head knowledge or memorization - but to be diligent in preparing for his arrival - to be held to account to King Jesus.

Do not be caught sleeping and unaware of the account for which you will be held. Falling asleep in Christ is to be awake in the natural and choose another will to fulfill. It is to have your eyes opened - but yet be distracted away from Jesus. Be diligent in rousing yourself to the call of King Jesus as he is coming soon and there is no other name on earth or in heaven to which you will be held to account. 

"Do you think I came to bring peace on earth? No, I tell you, but division." Luke 12:51

"Salvation exists in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved.” Acts 4:12

"Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him." 1 John 2:15

"A soldier refrains from entangling himself in civilian affairs, in order to please the one who enlisted him." 2 Timothy 2:4

Understanding The Voice Of God

 He said to his disciples, “Let us go back to Judea.”

“But Rabbi,” they said, “a short while ago the Jews there tried to stone you, and yet you are going back?”

JOHN 11:7-8

The truth is Jesus. Most do not know him. They know his name - not his way - not his voice - not his spirit. There are three voices inside of you. The voice of God - Christ Jesus - he is love. Then - there is you - you are selfish and emotional - You speak in "I" sentences. Then there is the enemy - whose voice remains until Jesus comes. He comes to steal, kill and destroy. He makes accusations.

You must - by choice - rid your flesh of you and the evil one - focus only on the voice of love - encouragement and trust. God is love. He will never fail you. Choose Jesus every single time.

We are made by God - our bodies and minds are not created by people or your earthly parents. The voices that permeate your flesh are also created in a manner designed by God and the witness of your life lives within you. You have not developed your own mind of thought and your own mind does not consist of only one voice. Discerning the voices within takes time, effort and faith so that you can be certain to only be obedient to God.

The choices you make are witness to whom you have chosen to be the God of your flesh. It is clear to see who governs another's life by the actions in which they take and the words in which they speak. Most people do not give a second thought to what they hear inside of them and believe that is their own internal voice. This is a false understanding and not the way in which you were created.

The Holy Spirit is a voice that is born in you in Baptism by Water and the acceptance of King Jesus as Lord and Savior - and he will always remain in you and will always be with you. His voice is still and quiet in the beginning - but through faith and obedience grows louder and easier to hear. To be love is more difficult than to be selfish and to be a victim is easier than to be accepting of circumstance. These feelings are not from God but from self and the enemy. 

The Holy Spirit is your advocate, your mighty counselor and is the voice of the Holy Lord. He never accuses, he is never a victim, and he never hates. The voice of the Holy Spirit is always kind, always encouraging, always loving and is always patient. To follow the voice of the Holy Spirit is how God speaks to you - it is how he lives within us and for us. The choice to have faith and to be obedient is up to you.

"He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself: he that believeth not God hath made him a liar; because he believeth not the record that God gave of his Son." 1 John 5:10 KJV

Transfigured By The Holy Spirit

After this I looked, and there before me was a door standing open in heaven. And the voice I had first heard speaking to me like a trumpet said, “Come up here, and I will show you what must take place after this.”

REVELATION 4:1 

To be able to be brought into the throne room with the most high - consecration through faith and obedience to Jesus Christ is the avenue. "There is no creator, but I - There is but one author of life - One Lord"

In seeking the heavenly places with all my mind - the Lord reveals visions - revelations - the truth - the mysteries of God. Christ Jesus lives. There is but one worthy of thanks and praise - Christ Jesus. In him you are worthy - he covers all sin - in faith he will cloak you with righteousness and take you to the Father. Reveal the truth of Jesus Christ in you.

The Lord asks you to do things for him - for the edification of yourself - so that his purpose will be realized in you and you will be up to the task of the Lord at the appointed time. Faith is to be worked out in the natural of being obedient. We are people - not God. There is only one God  - and he has the power to do what he says he will. We must work our faith out in the mundane - ordinary aspects of simple obedience for the next level of spiritual growth to occur.

We are but children to the Lord and the first thing we must be is willing to be obedient to him. Without obedience there is no progress. Without Faith there can be no obedience. Jesus is the power and his Holy Spirit dwells within those that choose him and are faithful and obedient disciples for him. We are not called to be perfect - he is perfect. 

King Jesus - the physical man and body of God is in heaven and will not come back until his appointed time. Until he returns in the physical - we have complete access to him through his Holy Spirit. What is written about in the word of God will be completed by his Saints through the Holy Spirit of the one that lives forever and has the power. So again I say - very truly - Jesus Christ is alive - His Holy Spirit is here right now and he is coming soon.

“‘Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty, who was, and is, and is to come.”

Purity For God

 "Blessed are the pure in heart,

    for they will see God."

MATTHEW 5:8

The Lord desires the pure in heart - for they are clean - prepared to feast with the Lord. Purity is truth - love and living in harmony with the way of Jesus. Purity is born of love and truth. To be purified in Jesus - is to walk with him completely - to love his Word and his Way. In this you are made pure.

How closely you choose to walk with Jesus - will be how purified and clean you become. In his grace he will give you love to give others. He is love - an abundant everlasting source. Seek Jesus with all your heart and all your mind - He is the Lord.

To maintain an inner dialogue with the Holy Spirit of God is one area of purity - to also be able to maintain this purity outwardly in the face of other people and their opinions is also what we are called to do. It is easy to be pulled away from the Lord in the face of anger, dissenting thoughts and judgements by others - but that is specifically what the Lord asks of us. We are to be a light in the dark - not just a light amongst the light - for what good is that?

Allow the light of God to emanate through you in situations in which your natural self would typically be drawn out of you. This is how a person in the darkness may come and see the light - and say to themselves - this person does have the light of God within them - and they may seek God and be saved and set free. We are not called to save souls - only Jesus Christ can do that. We are to be the light for him and direct people to him. We are not called to sell God to people and talk people into following him - but we are called to be a light and let his will be seen in us so a non-believer will see God and follow him.

We are but a tool to be used by faith and obedience. It is God that will do what is necessary to save the one that stands before you. So be willing to let your ways be finished and allow the Holy Spirit that dwells within to have his way.

"Let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven." Matthew 5:16

 “Therefore, if you are offering your gift at the altar and there remember that your brother or sister has something against you, leave your gift there in front of the altar. First go and be reconciled to them; then come and offer your gift." Matthew 5:23-24

"So flee youthful passions and pursue righteousness, faith, love, and peace, along with those who call on the Lord from a pure heart." 2 Timothy 2:22
