Embracing Free Will: Navigating Temptation and Choice

I questioned God why I was born without the inclination to sin. His response was clear: the choice to sin or not lies with me. Adam, too, was granted free will to make this choice. Satan tempted him, and unfortunately, Adam succumbed to that temptation. Jesus, facing similar trials, resisted temptation and emerged victorious. The power to resist or yield to temptation rests within each of us, as we were endowed with free will. Should we triumph over temptation, heavenly rewards await us; yet, if we falter and sin, we must face the consequences fitting for our actions. Therefore, it is imperative to make wise decisions when temptation arises.

Ascending Through Crisis: Preparing for a New Era of Manifestation and Ascension Life

We've all been living in what a lot of people in the world are calling a time of crisis. Actually, the crisis that we're enduring at the present moment is a small thing compared to some of the things that the Lord is about ready to release in the earth. One of the definitive things that the Lord commissioned me to do is to get the people ready because at this present moment, we think we're ready, but we're really, really not ready.

If we're not living from our position in the Heavenly Realms and viewing things from the heavens downward, we're going to be very frustrated and a little bit upset by some of the things that we see happening because we're not actually going to believe it is God. But the truth of the matter is, it's all Him. He is still sovereign; He is still doing a very, very magnificent and huge thing on Earth at this present moment. Therefore, it's really important for us to come to a place where we can begin to see things from the heavens down and not only see things but also decree and declare things in the earthly realm, but to actually function and live from a heavenly position.

So, I'm going to talk a little bit today about how to respond in times of crisis because, like I said, there's a crisis coming, and what we've experienced to this present moment is a very small thing compared to what the Lord is going to do.

So, how then are we going to live above and not below the darkness that is coming to the Earth? We're now in a very strategic movement that is moving us through this crisis towards the finish. Our purpose in the age of the church was to make God relevant to humanity, but our purpose during the age of the kingdom is to make ourselves relevant to Him. This is a very, very important difference because the current move of God is not about us, not about our business, not about our finances, not about our health, not about all the things that we consistently lift up to God, which are all very self-centric in their applications.

So, if our purpose then is not about what God is going to do for us but what are we going to do with Him and for Him, why then are we going to be operating through a crisis? Why does God choose this pathway to get us to the end, and how are we going to prepare for it?

Crisis is the new normal in our lives through the coming crisis, and part of the reason is, and I've been prophesying this forever, that we're going to do things that have never been done before. We're going to see things that have never been seen before; we're going to hear things that have never been heard before. We're going to do the undoable and become what we are not currently. That means the revelation of the mystery of God that has been hidden in Christ since the very beginning is about ready to be revealed.

I want to clarify because a lot of people in the body of Christ believe that we're not going to endure anything during this coming crisis. It's true that we are going to be protected and provided for in the midst of it, but we are going to go through some stuff. So why does God choose this pathway to get us to the end, and how do we prepare for it through the coming crisis?

We're supposed to do what we cannot do and become what we are not, which is the revealing of the sons of the living God. Our total dependence then has to be upon Him for our provision, and there is going to come a day when He is actually going to provide through us — through us water from rocks, quail from the sky, and manna from heaven.

When I talk about getting ready for the coming crisis, there are people who can prepare in a measure. We can store up food; we can store up munitions; we can store up building materials; we can do all of those kinds of things. But those are only temporary fixes for the ultimate shifting out of this age of the Earth and into the final creation, which is the coming down from heaven of the kingdom of God and its establishment here on the earth with its center in Jerusalem.

We're going to begin to do what no other generation has ever done. We're actually co-creating together with Him, and the day is going to come — and this is a word from heaven, so you can take it to the bank — the day is going to come when we are actually going to be empowered by God to create enough food to feed the entire Earth.

That seems like a preposterous statement, but we're already being reconfigured for that level of creativity. So when the Lord says in 2 Corinthians 6 that we're called to be co-workers and co-creators together with Him, that co-creation goes way above and beyond anything that humanity has ever experienced before this time.

Number one, we have to be the same in the days of crisis as we are in the days of peace because Jesus is our peace, and Jesus lives in us. Therefore, when crises or times of crisis come, we cannot be moved by the crisis; we have to remain in love, joy, peace because He gives peace not as the world gives but as only He can give peace that passes all understanding to keep our hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.

So how ready are we then, and what can we do to be even more prepared? Establishing the kingdom within has to come first, and when I talk about the difference between ascending and descending and ascension life, ascension life emanates from within. He cannot trust us to govern our nation, our planet, our galaxy, our universe if we can't first govern ourselves.

So, what does that mean? The governments and the kingdoms of this Earth will not be put into the hands of a church whose government is skewed and whose foundations are inaccurately built. Nor will it be put into the hands of individuals who lack sufficient internal government to govern themselves, their families, their churches, their businesses, and every other sphere of influence under their domain.

In order for us to bring accurate alignment to our lives, in order to become the visible, tangible lights in the midst of the darkness, we first have to deal with the kingdom within. So, I'm going to talk about the difference between ascending and descending and living an ascended life. We're going to go into more detail about that later, but these are just some thoughts that you might want to jot down.

A true ascended human being is one who is incarnated by the kingdom. In the beginning was the word; the word was with God, the word was God, and the word was made manifest in mortal flesh. So, the desire of the Lord is to manifest His word, which is Jesus, in our mortal flesh. That's going to produce transfiguration.

Ascension life is an external expression of an internal position; therefore, it is much less locational than it is positional. There are many different positions of ascension, one of those being manifested from the kingdom within. There's a direct link then between the quality of your internal life and the quality of your external life. If your internal life becomes the perfect reflection of God's glory, which is what we were created to be in the earth — the perfect reflection of His glory — then our external life will also produce that manifestation in a visible form.

There is coming a time when the Lord says in the end time the kings of the earth and the rulers of nations will come to us, saying, 'Show us your ways.' The reason why they're going to come to us is that in the midst of chaos, in the midst of trial, in the midst of tribulation, we maintain ourselves on a platform of peace that comes only from Him.

The ascended life emerges then from within you. Success is not an outward appearance; it's the degree to which you are conformed to the image of Christ. These are just a few thoughts that I want to talk about when I talk about creating the platform to actually live in the Heavenly Realms and walk in the Earthly realm.

Ascension life is not a new doctrine; it is a way of life and a lifestyle. Therefore, your lifestyle must begin to reflect the light that came to light the whole earth and the light that lights the heart of every man.

It's a way of life that manifests the complete unhindered government of the kingdom of the person called Christ. That means we have to become stable, we have to become predictable, we have to come to a place where we're no longer ruled by our thoughts, our will, our emotions, or anything else other than our ascended life in Christ.

The word became flesh. So, everybody tap your chest and say, 'The word became flesh.' I'm watching; nobody's tapping their chest. Tap your chest and say, 'The word became flesh.' What's happening right now is the word Christ in us, the hope of glory, is now going to begin to manifest in our flesh.

In John 1:1, it says, 'In the beginning was the word, and the word was with God, and the word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by Him, and without Him was not anything made that was made. In Him was life, and the life was the light of men.'

Actually, when Jesus says in John 14:12 that the things that he did, we will do also. I'm here to tell you that the life inside of us is going to soon become the light of men. 'And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness comprehended it not.' There was a man sent from God whose name was John. I'm just reading through these because I'm coming to a point. The same came for a witness to bear witness of the light that all men through him might believe.

Unseen Realms Unveiled: Navigating Spiritual Encounters and Confirming Faith through Experience

If you find yourself inexplicably irritated, not attributable to your diet, there might be unseen forces at play. I've encountered instances where demons manifested their presence by screaming loudly when I felt an unexplained irritation. Initially unaware of their influence, I sensed something in the room without a visible presence. Upon confronting and commanding it to leave, the disturbance ceased, and I regained composure.

During the transition between wakefulness and sleep, I entered a state where I could hear the spirit realm. Similarly, our eyes, shaped differently post-fall, once allowed us to perceive the spiritual realm visually and auditorily. While science confirms that we only perceive one-sixth of light (rainbow colors), there are five-sixths that technology can capture, as evidenced by infrared cameras and other sensors.

In my headquarters, equipped with such technology, we captured images of demonic entities that had to be expelled from the premises. Although invisible to the naked eye, infrared and other cameras revealed their presence. Even while overseas, I could remotely observe these entities entering my office or headquarters, corroborated by hours of recorded footage.

These encounters are not mere anecdotes; they are substantiated by tangible evidence. The Bible, for me, isn't solely a matter of belief through reading; it's validated through firsthand experiences. The functionality of spiritual principles in real-life situations has fortified my conviction in the authenticity of biblical teachings.

Spiritual Realms Unveiled: Navigating the Influence of Demonic Entities and Embracing Divine Purpose

There exist numerous malevolent entities often referred to as water spirits, mermaids, and the like. However, it is crucial to recognize them as spiritual beings that were once devoid of water influence. Their presence extends beyond Atlantis or other enigmatic cities, perplexing those who fail to comprehend their existence in a distinct realm.

Indulge in a beverage, for I am yet to delve into the intriguing aspects. Your sandwich can wait, as today holds revelations you cannot ignore. Resist the quivering lip and the puzzled gaze; your journey awaits, transcending the boundaries of conventional understanding.

These spiritual entities have intricately sealed their operations, confining even ministries due to a narrative acceptance rooted in a lack of understanding. Their demonic nature drives a relentless pursuit to re-enter a corporeal form, craving expression and manifestation through the appropriation of a human vessel. The key lies in manipulating the individual's will.

Engaging in blood rituals and satanic sacrifices opens the door for possession, allowing these entities to wield influence over musicians, actors, and actresses, promising wealth and success as long as compliance is maintained. However, any defiance in revealing the truth to the public results in a swift disappearance.

Let us not dismiss these occurrences; instead, let us be astute observers. Consider the instances when Jesus engaged in disputes with demons who sought to delay their torment, aware that their time for judgment had not yet arrived. Their infiltration extended to governments, elected officials, monetary systems, healthcare, and every facet of human life, influencing minds and actions.

While the demonic may not fully possess a Christian, they adeptly manipulate thoughts and emotions. Recall Peter's momentary alignment with Satan's thoughts, emphasizing the susceptibility of even the faithful. The onslaught of demonic influence often manifests as feelings of rejection, inadequacy, and an insurmountable sense of not measuring up.

Counteract these challenges with the reassurance that your worth is intrinsic, stemming from God's love. Embrace your unique placement on Earth, understanding that your spirit, the essence of your being, originates from a divine source. Regardless of the circumstances of your conception, you are a deliberate creation with a purpose to fulfill during your earthly sojourn.

In essence, your earthly form is a mere costume, and upon shedding it, you won't yearn for its return. Its value is eclipsed, resembling a Halloween costume compared to your true essence. Recognize the profound significance of your spirit and the predetermined role you play in fulfilling God's purpose.

Moses' Divine Resistance: A Reflection on Humility, Faith, and God's Glory

In the biblical narrative, the encounter between Moses and God, as recounted in the book of Numbers, reveals a profound lesson in humility, faith, and a deep understanding of God's glory. The pivotal moment unfolds as God declares to Moses, "I will smite them with pestilence and dispossess them, and I will make you into a nation greater and mightier than them." This divine proclamation sets the stage for Moses' extraordinary response—a refusal grounded in a profound recognition of the greater purpose: bringing glory to God.

Moses, chosen by God to lead the Israelites out of bondage, finds himself at a critical juncture in the wilderness. The Israelites, prone to disobedience and disbelief, have incurred the wrath of God. In His righteous anger, God declares His intention to smite them with pestilence and replace them with a new nation, one that would be mightier and more favored in His eyes.

However, Moses, though chosen as a leader, exemplifies a remarkable humility and an unwavering faith in God's character. Instead of seizing the opportunity to become the progenitor of a new and mightier nation, Moses redirects the focus to God's glory. In a profound act of intercession, Moses refuses the offer, recognizing that such an act would not bring glory to the Almighty.

Moses' response is rooted in a deep understanding of the divine nature. He comprehends that God's glory surpasses any personal ambition or desire for greatness. It is an acknowledgment that true glory lies in obedience, trust, and adherence to the divine will. Moses understands that the purpose of God's actions is not merely to exalt him but to manifest His sovereignty, justice, and mercy to the entire assembly.

This episode challenges us to reflect on our own responses to challenging circumstances. Moses, in his humility, sets an example of selflessness and devotion to God's glory. It prompts us to consider whether our aspirations align with the greater purpose of magnifying God in our lives and actions.

The narrative also underscores the interconnectedness of humility and faith. Moses, by refusing personal exaltation, displays a trust that surpasses the immediate circumstances. His steadfast faith in God's character and promises becomes a shining example for believers today, emphasizing the importance of surrendering personal ambitions for the sake of God's glory.

In conclusion, Moses' response to God's offer of a mightier nation serves as a timeless lesson in humility, faith, and the pursuit of God's glory. His words echo through the ages, reminding us that true greatness lies in surrendering personal ambitions, trusting in God's character, and seeking His glory above all else. In our own journeys, may we find inspiration in Moses' humility and unwavering faith, striving to bring glory to God in every aspect of our lives.

Empowering Encouragement: David's Journey of Faith in 1 Samuel 30

In 1 Samuel chapter 30, David faced a dire situation where his own men, devastated by the Amalekite raid that destroyed their town, spoke of stoning him. Everything valuable had been taken, their town was in ruins, and women and children were captured. Despite this bleak circumstance, David chose a different path. Instead of succumbing to despair, he found strength in the Lord, assuring his own heart.

In the midst of loss—his wives, children, and home—David persisted for 13 challenging years since his anointing by God. Despite the adversity, he refused to give in to bitterness or complaints. Less than 48 hours away from the fulfillment of his dreams, David could have quit, letting discouragement take over. Yet, he chose to encourage himself in the Lord.

The key to David's resilience lay in maintaining faith and refusing to be governed by his emotions. He understood that even in the face of hardship, encouraging oneself in the Lord was essential. Praying in tongues emerged as one powerful method, forcing the mind to stay focused on God and engaging in a spiritual exercise that required faith.

Praying in tongues, when done in faith, acts as a switch that activates the working of the Holy Spirit in one's life. It's not about turning on the Holy Spirit, who is always present, but about turning oneself on to the influence of the Spirit. Some individuals, despite having the Holy Spirit, find themselves distant from regular spiritual practices, such as praying in tongues. This can lead to a lack of encouragement and a sense of being stuck in survival mode.

David's example serves as a reminder that encouraging oneself in the Lord is crucial, and there are various methods to achieve this, including speaking the Word of God and praying in tongues. Consistency in these practices, done in faith, opens the door to experiencing the continuous work of the Holy Spirit in one's life.

When God is with you, you gain the strength to overcome challenges—running through troops and leaping over walls becomes possible. This truth is empowering, and you can achieve anything, amen.

However, it's crucial to take deliberate steps to assure your heart. As mentioned earlier from Jude chapter 1 verse 2, one effective way is to engage in speaking in tongues. While some may view this practice as a one-time event to prove the presence of the Holy Spirit, its ongoing significance is often overlooked.

Speaking in tongues may seem nonsensical to the mind, as noted in 1 Corinthians 14:13, where it's emphasized that your spirit prays while your understanding remains unfruitful. Despite the initial resistance from your natural mind, persisting in praying in tongues, not just for brief moments but for extended periods, prompts a shift into the realm of faith.

Praying in tongues for an hour, for example, requires pushing beyond the limitations of the physical and natural realm. During this time, you may need to consciously assure yourself, disregarding what your brain tells you. The Bible affirms that when you pray in an unknown tongue, you edify yourself, promoting spiritual growth. This form of prayer engages your spirit, the part of you with the mind of Christ and understanding of all things.

To maintain this practice, you must push into faith. Prolonged periods of praying in tongues necessitate a shift away from dwelling on personal circumstances, negative opinions, or physical ailments. Instead, you enter into a realm of faith, believing in God's promises. Speaking in tongues becomes a powerful tool in this journey.

Regrettably, some readers may possess the gift of speaking in tongues but are experiencing challenges in their bodies, finances, or emotions. Despite seeking solutions in various places, they may have neglected the potent tool within—the ability to speak in tongues. This dynamic force within can be activated by simply engaging in speaking in tongues consistently. Over time, this practice becomes a source of self-encouragement in the Lord.

Perseverance in Christ: Standing Firm for God's Chosen

 Be aware that God desires to approach you unexpectedly from behind and bring forth surprises. I sense in my heart that He intends to astonish you, so allow Him to shower His love upon you—let His love embrace you now. Amen.

Now, let's delve straight into the matter at hand before the intensity of this presence lingers too long. In 2 Timothy 1:13, Paul advises Timothy to cling tightly and adhere to the pattern of wholesome and sound teaching. This entails observing and following the example set by those who have gone before, maintaining the faith and love rooted in Jesus Christ. Amen.

Furthermore, in 2 Timothy chapter 2, verse 1, it encourages, "So, my son, be strong and fortified inwardly by the grace and spiritual blessings that are uniquely found in Christ." Strengthen yourself in the grace and spiritual abundance available through Christ.

Therefore, based on 2 Timothy 2:10, I am prepared to persist, standing firm with patience and endurance, willing to endure anything for the sake of God's chosen people—the elect. The objective is to facilitate their attainment of salvation in Christ Jesus, leading to the ultimate reward of eternal life. It's crucial to recognize that our perseverance in Christ, our steadfastness in various situations, contributes to others obtaining the same. The Lord consistently encourages me not to relent, to maintain an unwavering pace, and to stand firm for Jesus Christ. As we stand steadfast, spiritual activities will cause a shaking and deterioration in the strength of the evil one, gradually releasing his hold on people.
