Are we seeking the healing or the Healer? Are we seeking the blessing or the Blesser? Are we seeking freedom from bondage/addictions or who is Freedom? Are we seeking to be fed or who is our Food? Are we seeking to quench our thirst or who is our Drink? Are we seeking to have our bills paid or the one who is our Riches? Are we seeking peace so our flesh can be no longer experience the pain of life or who is Peace?
When will most of us realize truth will set us free when we realize seeking Truth is a PERSON in Jesus Christ and NOT a method or process. He is the I AM. I AM TRUTH! I AM LIFE! I AM LIGHT! I AM GOOD! I AM JUSTICE! I AM PEACE! I AM JUDGMENT! I AM JOY! I AM LOVE! I AM GOOD! I AM FREEDOM! I AM STRENGTH! I AM I AM! I AM GOD!
Many "search and investigate and pore over the Scriptures", they spend hours on Facebook discussing the gospel, internet, and reading other books thinking they have "eternal life through them." Many of us have missed the boat and we seek an end result not realizing it is a PERSON we are needing to know MORE!
John 5:39 (AMP) "You search and investigate and pore over the Scriptures diligently, because you suppose and trust that you have eternal life through them. And these [very Scriptures] testify about Me!"
Perhaps, many of us are having problems in our lives because we have in reality fallen far away from HIM and our eyes have been on a end result instead of HIM? Yes, many all say they Love Him but they also love many other things as well and perhaps even more than God. Search your hearts! He is coming and the road is being called to be set straight!
1 Corinthians 10:14(AMP) Therefore, my dearly beloved, shun (keep clear away from, avoid by flight if need be) any sort of idolatry (of loving or venerating anything more than God).

Do not speak against what you do not know
Even today, there are so many misinformed Christians out there calling the Power and Work of the Holy Spirit the work of Beelzebub. It is generally the ones who have never experienced God's Power who attempting to determine if they have the authority to speak on such a matter? What do they really know of deliverance? What do they really know what happens to a person when the POWER of the HOLY SPIRIT hits them? Do they think a person who gets empowered and HIT by the HOLY Ghost is going to sit quietly and sing kumbaya? Do they think when a person gets HIT by the POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT, they are going to remain standing like a stiff surf board and sing a hymn? Do they think when a person gets engulfed by HIS FIRE, the person is going to get a nice tan? The POWER of the HOLY SPIRIT and HIS FIRE will generally make you shake. How can a human being withstand the Glory of God in his/her present state? Many may cry. Many may shake. Many may fall. Many may feel strange. Many may call unto to HIM with all their soul with their faces on the floor.
When Jesus walked the earth, HE was the ANOINTING. HE Was the POWER. HE WAS THE FIRE OF GOD. When Jesus walked, the demons that were residing in His people were manifesting because of the ANOINTING. Does one think demons go in peace? Do demons say "excuse me, we will leave now"? NO, in many cases, they go violently and they go making noises. They sometimes kick and roll around the floor. They go SCREAMING AND QUITE ANGRY I MIGHT ADD.
And because people were manifesting around Jesus, they called it witchcraft. They called it the work of the devil. They said there is too much chaos to be of God. They spoke from their own authority and understanding. They spoke against the Holy Spirit.
If you see a church and the people are rolling around or if you see a church and you see the people screaming or if you see a church and some are having seizures, and if you see a church with demons manifesting, do not think it is not God's people in there getting healed or freed. What do you think is suppose to happen during deliverance? Sit around and have a cup of tea? I am not saying just because people are rolling around that it is God's people in there but it does not mean it is not either! Therefore, pray and ask for discernment before you conclude anything!
Matthew 4:24 (Amplified Bible) So the report of Him spread throughout all Syria, and they brought Him all who were sick, those afflicted with various diseases and torments, those under the power of demons, and epileptics (seizures), and paralyzed people, and He healed them.
Luke 4:35 But Jesus rebuked him, saying, Be silent (muzzled, gagged), and come out of him! And when the demon had thrown the man down in their midst, he came out of him without injuring him in any possible way
Luke 4:41 And demons even came out of many people, SCREAMING AND CRYING OUT, You are the Son of God! But He rebuked them and would not permit them to speak, because they knew that He was the Christ (the Messiah).
Luke 9:42 And even while he was coming, the demon threw him down and [completely] CONVULSED him. But Jesus censured and severely rebuked the unclean spirit and healed the child and restored him to his father.
Sometimes, people do manifest but the pastors and churches do not even realize it to be a manifestation of demons and they may condone or enjoy the event. Sometimes, pastor are shocked and do not know what to do. When the supernatural occurs, how many are ready or able to discern whether it is God or not? WE must learn what is the Holy Spirit and what are the manifestations of demons. They can all be happening at once inside a church as the power of the Holy Spirit is great. Where do we think the devil is? He is in God's field planting his seeds.
Matthew 13:24-27 (AMP)Another parable He set forth before them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field. 25But while he was sleeping, his enemy came and sowed also darnel (weeds resembling wheat) among the wheat, and went on his way.
Yes, God will deliver His people in different ways but when demons manifest, they do not go quietly. Many churches require and demand order. What do they know of order? They define order by their own standards. How do we know what is God's order. And when demons manifest in churches, instead of casting the demons out, they end up kicking the person out because they do not know the what to do. Many continue to deny the Power of God thus they DENY GOD!!
2 Timothy 3:5 (Amplified Bible) For [although] they hold a form of piety (true religion), they deny and reject and are strangers to the power of it [their conduct belies the genuineness of their profession]. Avoid [all] such people [turn away from them].
Maybe worshiping is a party with people shouting His Name. Maybe worshiping is a joyful people dancing in the Spirit. Maybe worshiping is a group of people singing out of tune but from their heart. Maybe worshiping is genuine brokenness from the heart as people cry in joy. Maybe worshiping is people calling unto HIS Name with all their might and strength. And maybe worship is sometimes a moment of quiet and stillness. Maybe it is all the above and much much more. You should ask God if you are even worshiping in Truth and Spirit. I did. People keep saying worship in Truth and Spirit but do they even know what they means? How can you know if you do not ask or have ever experienced it to know?
What is order? Who can define it? Only God can define order as the churches are suppose to be LED by the SPIRIT! Be wise brethren, do not judge what may look or appear strange to you. You must first ask the Holy Spirit if that is of God instead of making your own conclusion.
Isaiah 43:19 (Amplified Bible) Behold, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs forth; do you not perceive and know it and will you not give heed to it? I will even make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert.
John 21:25 (Amplified Bible) And there are also many other things which Jesus did. If they should be all recorded one by one [in detail], I suppose that even the world itself could not contain (have room for) the books that would be written.
Jeremiah 33:3 (Amplified Bible) Call to Me and I will answer you and show you great and mighty things, fenced in and hidden, which you do not know (do not distinguish and recognize, have knowledge of and understand).
Seek Him now while He may be found. Know His ways. Know His Ways so you will recognize His Voice when He speaks. Know His Ways so you will know it is HE who comes for you. Know HIM so you will not fall and be judged as Korah during his rebellion. Read and continue to partake the Bread of Life and continue to drink from the Rock!
Numbers 16:30 (Amplified Bible) But if the Lord causes a NEW thing [to happen], and the earth opens its mouth and swallows them up, with all that belongs to them, and they go down alive into Sheol (the place of the dead), then you shall understand that these men have provoked (spurned, despised) the Lord!

He disciplines and chastise those whom He Loves
When the Lord judges (disciplines/chastise) His people as a nation, what methods do He employ to discipline? He will bring the sword (war), feminine, and pestilence (disease/illness).
When Jesus was in the flesh, the Israelite were seeking a Messiah that would overthrow the Romans and establish His Kingdom and restore them to their glory. However, Jesus came riding on a donkey to die for them and us. Most of His people had their prophecy wrong. In Acts 1 even after the resurrection, they continued to ask Him when He would establish His Kingdom.
Acts 1:6-8 So when they were assembled, they asked Him, Lord, is this the time when You will reestablish the kingdom and restore it to Israel? 7He said to them, It is not for you to become acquainted with and know [b]what time brings [the things and events of time and their definite periods] or fixed [c]years and seasons (their critical niche in time), which the Father has appointed (fixed and reserved) by His own choice and authority and personal power.8But you shall receive power (ability, efficiency, and might) when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you shall be My witnesses in Jerusalem and all Judea and Samaria and to the ends (the very bounds) of the earth.
Jesus basically said do not worry about the exact time but receive the power of the Holy Spirit and do His Work.
God's people were in bondage to the Roman empire. They had sought the Lord to overthrow Romans and establish His Kingdom. However, His people were blind to the fact of why the Romans were there in the first place. The Romans were there as God's instrument of judgment for their sins. His people were selfish and did not realize they had to repent for their sins but they sought a quick freedom and comfort instead.
Today, many Christians are in a parallel situation. Many Christians are in personal tribulations from sin and they are seeking the Lord to return for a quick release from their pain or issue. The sad part is as of before, many do not even realize the problems they are in is due to their sins of idolatry and harlotry. Unless the eyes of their hearts are open, they will not qualify for rapture until they repent and overcome their personal situations.
I know the many Christians love God but the problem is that they also are lovers of many other things. They are as the world lovers of pleasure too. We cannot serve two masters using grace as an excuse. He has told me if you love anything of the world with or over HIM, you will not be rapture. He will share His temple with NO ONE. Do not defile His temple.
Lev 26:13-18 I am the Lord your God, Who brought you forth out of the land of Egypt, that you should no more be slaves; and I have broken the bars of your yoke and made you walk erect [as free men].14But if you will not hearken to Me and will not do all these commandments, 15And if you spurn and despise My statutes, and if your soul despises and rejects My ordinances, so that you will not do all My commandments, but break My covenant,16I will do this: I will appoint over you [sudden] terror (trembling, trouble), even consumption and fever that consume and waste the eyes and make the [physical] life pine away. You shall sow your seed in vain, for your enemies shall eat it.17I [the Lord] will set My face against you and [a]you shall be defeated and slain before your enemies; they who hate you shall rule over you; you shall flee when no one pursues you.18And if in spite of all this you still will not listen and be obedient to Me, then I will chastise and discipline you seven times more for your sins.
In verse 18 coming out of Egypt represents coming out from the world onto salvation. But if one continues to break His commandments and plays the harlot with the world looking back like Lot's wife, then know what God is capable of when He chastise and discipline one of His children or people.
Judgment is coming. The Lord is telling me to warn His body, prepare for dark and difficult days for the test is coming onto all His people to prove your faith and to prepare the Bride purged through the FIRE!
Be wise and prepare yourselves as the new wine sack. Prophecy did not turn out as the OT saints had prepared or expected it. The majority view always seem to turn out wrong. Will history repeat?

Acting as a spiritual referee
Acts 13:9-12 (AMP)But Saul, who is also called Paul, filled with and controlled by the Holy Spirit, looked steadily at [Elymas]10 And said, You master in every form of deception and recklessness, unscrupulousness, and wickedness, you son of the devil, you enemy of everything that is upright and good, will you never stop perverting and making crooked the straight paths of the Lord and plotting against His saving purposes?11And now, behold, the hand of the Lord is upon you, and you will be blind, [so blind that you will be] unable to see the sun for a time. Instantly there fell upon him a mist and a darkness, and he groped about seeking persons who would lead him by the hand.12Then the proconsul believed (became a Christian) when he saw what had occurred, for he was astonished and deeply touched at the teaching concerning the Lord and from Him.
Paul was not a man who would speak out of his flesh or understanding. He was a man who spoke under the authority of the Holy Spirit. As you can see in Acts 13 verse 9, scripture says, he was filled and controlled by the Holy Spirit. Then the Holy Spirit speaking through Paul said, "You master in every form of deception and recklessness, unscrupulousness, and wickedness, you son of the devil, you enemy of everything that is upright and good, will you never stop perverting and making crooked the straight paths of the Lord and plotting against His saving purposes?11 And now, behold, the hand of the Lord is upon you, and you will be blind, [so blind that you will be] unable to see the sun for a time."
Are Christians allowed to say such things against other professing Christians, ministry, or other people? Are we allowed to call people masters of deception, recklessness, wickedness, son of the devil, false prophet and/or the enemy? When we do observe people saying such things the MOST IMPORTANT thing you must discern is whether they speaking out of their own flesh or under the control and AUTHORITY of the Holy Spirit as Paul had.
I see many people speak against ministries or individual ministries using Facebook as their venue. They speak against the charismatic movement. I am not saying the charismatic movement is all good or bad but those who are not even spiritual speak against what they do not know. I see so many attempting to teach and they DO NOT HAVE or BEEN GIVEN THE AUTHORITY TO TEACH.
Moreover, on the flip side, what if someone had spoken against Paul when he had said such things. Then that person would actually be speaking against the Holy Spirit.
It can be dangerous either way if a person continues to speak out of their authority or to judge a matter in their flesh. Therefore, it may better to stay neutral if you do not know instead of reacting in the flesh and with one's emotions. Many people on Facebook, in real life, or on the internet need to be spiritually feeding themselves instead of trying to feed other people for their own glory.
Learn to discern brethren instead of acting as a referee. Many Christians do not even have the authority to be a referee. I say this for your own benefit.

Partial obedience is NOT acceptable
1 Samuel 19-21 "Why then did YOU NOT OBEY THE VOICE OF THE LORD, but swooped down upon the plunder and did evil in the Lord's sight? Saul said to Samuel, Yes, I have obeyed the voice of the Lord and have gone the way which the Lord sent me, and have brought Agag king of Amalek and have utterly destroyed the Amalekites. But the people took from the spoil sheep and oxen, the chief of the things to be utterly destroyed, to sacrifice to the Lord your God in Gilgal."
Any disobedience is considered evil in the eyes of the Lord. However, Saul thought he had obeyed. Many Christians believe they are in obedience. But they have defined their own obedience and own reality thus continuing to eat the fruit of death from the tree of knowledge of good and evil. They continue to give God their own terms.
1 Samuel 15:23 "For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and STUBBORNNESS is as idolatry and teraphim (household good luck images). Because you have rejected the word of the Lord, He also has rejected you from being king."
Actions may look good on the surface but a little compromise will make God reject us. Without repentance, our final destiny will be hell. It sound very extreme but this is truth. Remember, God never changes. His nature is the same. Jesus came and died a horrible death for us. Please do not take His Grace for granted.
We now have grace to repent. Let us observe His commandments without compromising. LET US BE A PEOPLE SEPARATED UNTO HIM. LET THE WORLD KNOW WE ARE NOT OF THIS WORLD BUT SEPARATED FROM THEM! LET OUR CHURCHES STOP LOOKING, SMELLING, AND LIVING LIKE THE WORLD DOES.
Let us pray that we are in Full Surrender and Obedience to HIM in this New Year. Let us pray for the biblical Fear of God in our lives as we serve HIM.

Happy New Year in the Lord!
Happy New Year in the Lord!! May we all grow in His Grace moving from Glory to Glory everlasting. No matter what is happening in your lives, no matter what type of season you are in, whether you are in a season of lack or abundance, whether you are in season of spiritual dryness or on Fire, no matter how difficult your circumstance may be, it is time to make a choice (repenting as necessary) to continue and move forward for His Glory! Move forward and see the salvation of the Lord!!
Exodus 14:10-15 When Pharaoh drew near, the Israelites looked up, and behold, the Egyptians were marching after them; and the Israelites were exceedingly frightened and cried out to the Lord.11And they said to Moses, Is it because there are no graves in Egypt that you have taken us away to die in the wilderness? Why have you treated us this way and brought us out of Egypt?12Did we not tell you in Egypt, Let us alone; let us serve the Egyptians? For it would have been better for us to serve the Egyptians than to die in the wilderness.13Moses told the people, Fear not; stand still (firm, confident, undismayed) and see the salvation of the Lord which He will work for you today. For the Egyptians you have seen today you shall never see again.14The Lord will fight for you, and you shall hold your peace and remain at rest.
15 The Lord said to Moses, WHY DO YOU CRY TO ME? Tell the people of Israel to GO FORWARD!
Although He will work for us. Although He will fight for us and we are to hold our peace. There is a time when we must stop crying and we must move forward or else we will die in our wildernesses.
1 John 5:4 (AMP) For whatever is born of God is victorious over the world; and this is the victory that conquers the world, even our faith.
Happy New Year in the Lord for His Glory!

Exodus 14:10-15 When Pharaoh drew near, the Israelites looked up, and behold, the Egyptians were marching after them; and the Israelites were exceedingly frightened and cried out to the Lord.11And they said to Moses, Is it because there are no graves in Egypt that you have taken us away to die in the wilderness? Why have you treated us this way and brought us out of Egypt?12Did we not tell you in Egypt, Let us alone; let us serve the Egyptians? For it would have been better for us to serve the Egyptians than to die in the wilderness.13Moses told the people, Fear not; stand still (firm, confident, undismayed) and see the salvation of the Lord which He will work for you today. For the Egyptians you have seen today you shall never see again.14The Lord will fight for you, and you shall hold your peace and remain at rest.
15 The Lord said to Moses, WHY DO YOU CRY TO ME? Tell the people of Israel to GO FORWARD!
Although He will work for us. Although He will fight for us and we are to hold our peace. There is a time when we must stop crying and we must move forward or else we will die in our wildernesses.
1 John 5:4 (AMP) For whatever is born of God is victorious over the world; and this is the victory that conquers the world, even our faith.
Happy New Year in the Lord for His Glory!
Fire of God!

Follow God Fully!
Can one only follow God partially? What would be the consequences for following God partially? Have you asked yourself if you are fully following Jesus? Not completely trusting in the Lord through one's actions and fearing man would be some reasons that prevent one from following God fully. If one does not fully follow God, would that mean one is in disobedience and rebellion?
Numbers 14:24 But My servant Caleb, because he has A DIFFERENT spirit and has FOLLOWED ME FULLY, I will bring into the land into which he went, and his descendants shall possess it.
Caleb was one of the twelve spies. Out of the twelve, he was one described with a different spirit. What does this mean? Only Joshua and Caleb had faith in the Lord. Caleb had God's Spirit of Love for perfect Love cast out all fear.The other ten spies were frightened and shrank back. The other ten spies, even though, they were delivered from Egypt (salvation), saw the Red Sea Part, saw manna fall from the heavens, and etc had still doubted God. They were letting other spirits influence them. They were letting the spirit of fear and complaint influence them. This unholy contagious spiritual disease of fear and complaint continued to spread onto God's people. 
Numbers 14:27 How long will this evil congregation murmur against Me? I have heard the complaints the Israelites murmur against Me.
The ten spies (you can look at them as leaders) influenced thousands to walk in fear and not trust in God. And as a result, God sent a plague on the 10 spies. And moreover as a result, thousands, who were 20 years and older had to walk the wilderness and DIE. Were these not God's people?
If you rebel against God and do not repent, you will receive judgment in your life. One can say one has God but one has gone the other road of compromise. One may be deceived and one may have been led astray. Perhaps one's terminal sickness (plague) is a wake up call to repent and return to Him and to fully surrender to Him.
Numbers 14:35 (Amplified Bible) I the Lord have spoken; surely this will I do to all this evil congregation who is gathered together against Me. In this wilderness they shall be consumed [by war, disease, plagues], and here they shall die.
Numbers 32:11 Surely none of the men who came up out of Egypt, from twenty years old and upward, shall see the land which I swore to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, because they have not wholly followed Me
In fact, if we do not follow the Lord FULLY, He consideres it evil in His sight.
1 Kings 11:6 Solomon did evil in the sight of the Lord, and went not fully after the Lord, as David his father did.
Our salvation walk on the narrow road must be finished. Even when we are close to the finish line, we can still rebel against God and be judged. You must persevere until the end. You must endure to the end. If you are moving from Glory to Glory, you will realize that the narrow road but gets narrower.
The secular world has its Nascar race called Nascar 500. I believe the main race goes 500 laps. A car can be on the 499th lap and it can burn and crash before the finish line. When it burns and crashes, all is lost. Our walk on the narrow road can be similiar. We must finish our race knowing we can still crash and burn on the last lap. Persevere and endure in all things my brethren.
Matthew 10:22 (Amplified Bible) And you will be hated by all for My name's sake, but he who perseveres and endures to the end will be saved [[a]from spiritual disease and death in the world to come
Matthew 16:24 Then Jesus said to His disciples, If anyone desires to be My disciple, let him deny himself [disregard, lose sight of, and forget himself and his own interests] and take up his cross and follow Me [ cleave steadfastly to Me, conform wholly to My example in living and, if need be, in dying, also].
Let us ask the Lord to search our hearts and let His Light reveal any areas in our hearts that have not been FULLY SURRENDERED to HIM. Let us repent and return to our first Love for He is returning soon for a Holy Obedient Bride!
Be blessed
Fire of God
