Scripture Reading, Isaiah 1, Nehemiah 1, Psalm 118, and 2 Chronicles 6. Song of Praise: He’s Calling You, by Donnie McClurkin. ”… Tell me what are you going to do? Your time has come for life brand new. Listen to your heart and your soul, do not evade Him anymore. He’s Calling You. Say Yes to Jesus, Yes to His Call.”

The year 2020 has plagued this country with the most chaos seen in over 100 years. Why? Because the country is battling multiple fronts: COVID-19, not seen since the 1918 Spanish Influenza Pandemic in which my mother lost a sister and a young brother; riots, social injustice, and civil unrest in the streets of America, the worst seen since the 1950s/60s; a return of the economic crisis not seen since the 1920s/30s; a government with characteristics of a mob leader and fascist; attacks against our democracy and the rule of law like this country has never seen before. The West Coast is burning, the North, South, and East Coast have chaos and killings in the streets, all while this nation is being pledged with a pandemic killing more Americans than in any other country. A pandemic that was stopped by other developed countries and could have been stopped under an emphatic government. If there ever was a time for change, the time is now. So, what do I see happing here from a scriptural point of view and what do we as a people need to do NOW BEFORE ITS TOO LATE?

The book of Isaiah, the prophet, tells us what happened long ago that is still relevant today in wake of the current catastrophes. Here is what God’s anger has to say about Babylon, the world system and the people in this country, the Babylonians who have turned from God’s way of doing. A disloyal people who have turned from God commands for their own detestable fleshly desires. A people whose guilt is great, a brood of evildoers, and even children are given over to corruption. They have forsaken the Lord and turned from God’s plan and purpose for anabundant life. God’s decree, “…if you would come back me to repent, I will heal you and make you a great city;…“, Isiah 1:7. The true-blue city is of equity, righteousness, piece, and justice for all. The prophecy of Isaiah and Nehemiah to the remnant of those that survived the exile.

This is history repeating itself all at once. Here is what scripture teaches in Exodus about a generational curse. Even though each generation face multiple challenges from the previous 3^rd or 4th, God has given each the opportunity to repent. When these generational sins of inequity are engorges, catastrophes of all fronts can crash at one time. Nations around the World in desolate, cities burning like wildfires, lawlessness, and evil people are adding fuel to an already volatile situation. Like a city under siege. A spirit of fascism has invaded our country with a government intent on lawlessness, deceit, injustice, and chaos. This is not to be taken lightly. God is saying tell those rich in this world’s wealth to quit being so full of themselves and so obsessed with money, which is here today and gone tomorrow. The love of it more than life itself is the root of all evil. This is the horror of what we are seeing today. From slavery, racism, mass incarceration, insurrection, social injustice; etc. I believe it is all because man loved money more than life itself. When our economic depression is because of man’s failureto act or his selfish greed, we are acting totally against what the holy scriptures command; to love God with your whole heart and to love your neighbor as ourselves.

The season we are in cries loudly for such a love for others, but instead the chaos is compared to that of Sodom and Gomorrah also known as ’The Plain’. These are two of the five cities situated on the Jordan River in the southern region of Canaan. The plain once compared to The Garden of Eden, and it’s well-watered, green fruitful land suitable for grazing livestock. However, because of their disobedience, the cities were destroyed by fire sent down from Heaven. The fate of which was used as a warning to those who reject the gospel. I believe this day is also God’s judgment at work in separating good from evil for His harvest. The parable in the Book of John about the wheat and tier, chapter 15, shows us what is happening today from the point of a threshing floor experience. The wheat is separated for good and the tier is toasted out to burn, as with the threshing floor process. God is saying stop bringing meaningless offerings of your burnt sacrifices to the alter. A sacrifice of man’s plans and commands verses God’s. Your incense is detestable to me. Stop doing wrong and learn to do right. My people are being destroyed for a lack of wisdom from me. In other words, this is a wake-up call.

The separation of the wheat from the tier is God calling His remained, to stop doing wrong, serve Him and learn to do what is right. This is essentially the goal of God’s purpose. Ephesian 1:7-10. The why of it is to bring forth fruit and more fruit that will abound in the Kingdom of God.

Hear the word of the Lord, this is what I want you to do: wash and make yourselves clean by renewing your minds and walk in the spirit of God by faith. You rulers, and leaders of God and His Angel Armies, listen to the instructions of our God. I want you to call a fast, repent for the people, and blow the ram’s horn for spiritual victory. God’s decree tells them to go after God, who piles on all the riches we could ever manage—to do good, to be rich in helping others, to be extravagantly generous. If they do that, they will build a treasury that will last, gaining life that is truly life, a divine purposeful life. we will rebuild the old wasteland. An old thing is being made new. Everyone on earth goes through a refining fire to bring forth more fruit sooner or later. The newness of Innovation is in full force now in the Kingdom of God.

This is the call of God, and this is your blank check invitation to write whatever you want for a life in abundance and for the glory of God. GOD IS COMMANDING YOU NOT TO MISS THIS LIFE AND DEATH MOMENT FOR SALVATION.

Spiritual Intelligence and Nutrition: I am defining as actionable faith – the act of doing what you see God do, and Intelligence is the understanding of what’s placed before you to do. Using as your guide, the Word of God and His Holy Spirit. I am calling the Word application actionable intelligence because spiritual power can only be obtained by means of expecting, believing, understanding and obeying the Word heard, and then receiving it’s benefits by faith in God. Faith is acting on the Word of God to effect change in the world. When you believe and understand the Word heard, you then take action on it by DOING SOMETHING.

I like reading the message bible because it’s words are more clearly stated in contemporary phrases and one can better understand its intentions and application. When the Holy Spirit said to me, I have given you the key, He was not only referring to understanding the Word but also applying the Word I hear. When I read love the Lord your God with all your heart and love others as yourself. I understand that to apply this to my daily life I must consider every negative thought, action or word spoken out of my mouth, and to make it align with how I feel about God and myself. I therefore meditate on why I view or feel the negative to made it coinside with my view of myself. I know that to love God with all my heart is to be more like him in a spiritual nature and not give way to the lust of the flesh.

This is important because without an understanding to apply the word read we miss reaping its benefit. This is also why proverbs tell us “in all your getting get an understanding”. And the book of James tells us to not just hear the Word but be a doer also. This means understanding how to apply the Word is a master key to entering The Kingdom of God and victory in your life. The Word of God will work if you work it!

“Worry weighs us down; a cheerful word picks us up.” Proverbs 12:25 MSG.

In the case of worry pulling you down, one can feel their stress level increase with each negative thought. Documenting what you are thinking and saying at the point of sluggish or depressed feelings will show you, “you are your own worst enemy”. The words coming out of your mouth are your very own prophecies. The issue is not our family, neighbors, community nor what’s happening in the World. The Word of God can correct this issue by learning to move and abide in the Holy Spirit and let go of things you cannot change, changing the things you can and trusting God for everything else. This is key to a peaceful existence. Herein is the power of the Holy Spirit of God to transform your fears to faith, hope and life. Energy flows where attention goes; if you think negative thoughts long enough negative actions will follow. Positive thinking is required for positive actions. I hear you saying, but I am practicing positive thinking but the negative things continue to happen to me. This can be the results of the season you are in (Matthew 5), the power of truth coming into being that cancels out falsehood or just a need for more knowledge and wisdom on the subject. The Holy Ghost comes to destroy your enemies but to save you. Deliverance only come at the point of divine completion. I say to you fist and foremost to have faith in God and to encourage yourself through reading the Word, praising and worshipping the Lord.

“Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.” Matthew 4:4 KJVAE. “Having your conversation honest among the Gentiles: that, whereas they speak against you as evildoers, they may by your good works, which they shall behold, glorify God in the day of visitation.” 1 Peter‬ ‭2:12‬ KAE‬‬.

The life of a seed is in itself, but it has to be planted for life to grow out of it. In like manner, what grows out of us as a people are directly related to the seeds planted in us.

Life itself is flowing from the hearts and minds of God’s people. The Abundant Life Movement is about you finding your purpose in life and understanding the power that comes with being connected to the Holy Spirit of God. From Genesis 1, we see the Spirit Of The Lord moves… what I am saying to you is your divine connection with the Holy Spirit will lead you into His inner chamber of knowledge, wisdom and understanding. This is not a drive-by, pickup a little and you’re set for life. No, we must stay connected to the Spirit of God’s power source for continual growth and guidance. Purification of your soul comes from being willing to give up your own conviction and traditions for the knowledge of God the Son, Jesus Christ. Herein is the authentic you being revealed from faith to faith or glory to glory. “If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you”, John 15:7.

God calls us all with a holy calling out of darkness into a marvelous light. The life light that draws us  away from sin and death to life is a continual flow of His Holy Spirit. Following His Holy spirit in the form of wisdom, knowledge, understanding will always bring about the experience of miracles, signs and wonders. The Holy Spirit of God is love, you and God together are synergy. The gap filler of your inability and Jesus’ impossibility are working together to bring about changes on earth. This is what walking by faith and not by sight creates. If you are not seeing miracles, signs and wonders happening in your day-to-day life, maybe its because you are NOT asking, seeking, and knocking on the door of impossibility. As long as we are  connected to the right power source, we will produce fruit that will abound. A staying power that’s supernatural and not of anything we can do ourselves, and is more powerful than any intellectual degree you will ever obtained.

I came from a life of humble beginnings; not in the least of which was poverty, born on a farm in NC and raised in inner city Newark, NJ. Even without a knowing or having a knowledge and relationship with God the Father, Jesus Christ the Son and His Holy Spirit, I used what I did know of His power and love to stand-up and walk into an accomplished life style. I was able to walk into an exclusive neighborhood in Collin County, TX to build my new home, a career that spandrel the US and ascension to the level of a senior corporate staffers (including but not limited to, salaried and executive comp, employee relations, policies procedures guideline, training and development, recruitment, etc.). But then the Holy Ghost took over, delivering me out of sin and death (Egypt) to a life of abundance. It wasn’t until I was over 40 and in a major crises in my own life that I became aware of God’s calling me for His divine purpose. At the core of the process was 18+ years in a call center environment. It was then that I realized God’s hand In my life from my birth. (A birth in which both I & my mother’s life were in danger.) And unknowing to me, I was continuingly walking in the shallow of death. The call of God to purpose is what drives the spirit in a person through these challenges and teaches us to run and not walk in the shallow of death. “My friends, I don’t feel I have already arrived. But I forget what is behind, and I struggle for what is ahead.” ‭‭Philippians‬ ‭3:13‬ ‭CEV‬‬. This scripture is telling us there are some things we must leave behind in order to reach new heights.

Life Giving Seed for The Journey

The life light of love comes from the spirit of God within and is what draws you to purpose. In the presence of the Lord, we are saturated by his Holy Spirit. It is not by might nor by power but by the spirit of the Lord (Zechariah 4:6). The plan God has for each of us isn’t a duplication of anything you know outside of Him. He’s your manufacturer and only He knows what He created you to be. Your role is to seek His face, not His hands, for the plan He has for you.

We are all in a ship sailing alone the journey called life. The path taken on this journey can be a struggle, the winds and heavy rain can be strong storms at times and each step will be more challenging; some ships will just drift through life and others just give up and quit but many will sail on a little further out into the deep. Launching out into the deep in Christ Jesus(anointing and the anointed one) is where you will find your core; who you are, why you are here, and what you’re to do while on this journey for life. Out in the deep can be where you find hills and valley lows or challenges coming from wrong decisions. I remember when I first heard the voice of God at the tender age of 10. It has take me fifty years to discover the meaning of that word and the why the call to destiny came. So, from the tender age of 10 to now, some fifty plus years, I’ll been on the backside of the mountain training for my assignment for what I believe is for such a time as this.

On Christ The Solid Rock I Stand: This is faith and truth. Healing in the spirit, body and soul (your soul is the mind’s thoughts & imitation, will and emotions) comes from abiding in the spirit of the Lord. “Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me”, John 15:4.

Whoever hears these sayings of Mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on the rock. The rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house but it did not fall for it was founded on the rock. “But everyone who hears these sayings of Mine, and does not do them, will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand:…” Matthews 7:24-27.

Hearing the Word and doing what you hear go hand and hand for kingdom minded believers. Your obedience leads to salvation by faith in the finish work of the cross. A belief in the sacrificial blood of Jesus given for the sins of this world by the grace of God. Your faith in Jesus Christ as a believer does save you by grace, but if you have no purpose, health, wealth, peace and joy in all areas of your life, then what is salvation for? We must go on from receiving Christ as our Lord and Savior to sanctification which is a process. Your belief in God will lead you into transformation – a giving up of your will to take on God’s will, plan and purpose. This is what spiritual warfare is all about, the flesh waring against the spirit. It’s an ongoing fight, therefore, you must want the purpose, peace and joy of God, health and wealth bad enough to seek after Him. He that comes unto God must believe He is, and that He is a rewarder of them that diligently seek Him, Hebrews 11:6. How bad do you want it? There’s a diligence and persistent determination required to get the promises of God.

The solid rock of Christ is what makes ministry and mission work effective as it represents the core of God’s heart, a source of life. When you receive His spirit, it will transform you into His righteousness or bring you in right standing with God. God never intended for us to live in this world without Him. Healing of the body is just as much spiritual as it is science, mental and physical. Weaknesses in the mind and body are indications of depleted Holy Spirit within. A spiritual hunger can be even more destructive than physical hunger because it can destroy both you and others around you. God has placed before you life and death – then he tells you to choose life. There are only two spirit forces at work in The World, life verses death or good verses evil; daily these forces are at work and we all choose one or the other regardless of whether you realize it or not.

“It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeded out of the mouth of God,” Matthew 4:4. Here’s where you fine wisdom and connect to the tree of life force, God and His Holy Spirit is life and light. As a redeemed believer, one who has escaped from satin’s multiple death sentences, I believe God is the only source of healing and life. Through all my adversities, the Holy Spirit of God has proven Himself faithful – as it was not I that overcome, but the grace of God that was with me. I am here today to tell you that there’s no other life source. If you choose life, the God of grace and mercy will restore your soul and fill you with His Holy Spirit that heal, deliver and set you free from all hurt, harm and danger.

There are no short cuts. This is what ‘His grace is suficience’ means’. If you are going through right now, know that you cannot stay there, you must move on forward; there’s so much more in you for you to know and accomplish. As the school-master, God will not promote you to the next level until you learn what you need to know where you are now. He’s preparing you for where you are going before you get there. Your life’s light for growth will come forth through the Holy Spirit of God if you would only receive it. “If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you,” John 15:7. Obtaining your healing is an abiding call from God not a drive-by nor a seek his hands kind of call. Therefore, seek first the kingdom of God and all His righteousness and then all things will be added unto you. So, abide in Him until He makes your enemies your foot-stool. Your healing will come in the continual asking, knocking and seeking to fine all that The Father has for you. #wisdomistheprinciplething.
