Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ Jesus,  

There have been many world-wide waves or moves of YHWH (with inserted vowels YAHWEH transliterated JEHOVAH commonly interpreted the LORD) since the first coming of the Lord Jesus, resulting in a significant number of salvations from eternal death to eternal life. For the LORD God desires than none be lost (whereas the devil is intent on taking as many with him into the pit of hell). The Lord Jesus repeatedly relayed the desire of God the Father via various parables used as He taught and healed the sick. For such was the Lord Jesus’ Mission and Ministry.

  • “16 For God so greatly loved and dearly prized the world that He [even] gave up His only begotten ([a]unique) Son, so that whoever believes in (trusts in, clings to, relies on) Him shall not perish (come to destruction, be lost) but have eternal (everlasting) life. 17 For God did not send the Son into the world in order to judge (to reject, to condemn, to pass sentence on) the world, but that the world might find salvation and be made safe and sound through Him. 18 He who believes in Him [who clings to, trusts in, relies on Him] is not judged [he who trusts in Him never comes up for judgment; for him there is no rejection, no condemnation—he incurs no damnation]; but he who does not believe (cleave to, rely on, trust in Him) is judged already [he has already been convicted and has already received his sentence] because he has not believed in and trusted in the name of the only begotten Son of God. [He is condemned for refusing to let his trust rest in Christ’s name.]” John 3:16-18 (AMPC)  

The LORD God is always talking to and giving us good instruction via the Holy Spirit about even the seemingly mundane. However, the ability to recognize God’s voice is imperative so as not to be misled by the crafty manipulation of satan. The more quality time with God the Father through Christ Jesus in prayer (especially Holy Spirit-led prayer) produces familiarity with the characteristics of God Who is the personification of Love. For example, although my parents “seeded” the Lord Jesus in me at an early age, only recently (decades later) I’ve come to realize that it’s Abba Father speaking to me via the Holy Spirit. The Lord Jesus said,   

  • “. . . when He, the Spirit of truth has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you things to come.” John 16:13 (NKJV)  

To reiterate, for decades I deemed suggestions in keeping with the way of God as my own thoughts so often ignored. But as a prolific preacher of God’s Word said years ago: “you don’t have a thought of your own; it’s either from the LORD God or it’s from the devil”. Therefore, it’s imperative for sons & daughters of God to become increasingly familiar with the essence of the LORD God Who is Love. To reiterate, for decades I’ve incorrectly believed that something was my own idea, hence easy to push aside for whatever the reason. Now, I’m increasingly able to respond with, “yes LORD, thank you LORD” to what seems surface-wise to be an ordinary suggestion or correction such as “say it this way”. For the Sovereign Lord God Almighty is Omnipresent and Omnipotent and Omniscient; He knows the best way to approach and/or resolve a situation. (The devil can only suggest a thought that’s always contrary to the way of the LORD God). Nowadays, upon awakening I first endeavor to listen and/or discern Abba Father’s instruction(s).  

The LORD God so loves those created in His image that He sent His only begotten Son – Jesus the Anointed One and His Anointing to exemplify the way we were created to operate on earth. Those made sons & daughters of the LORD God by the blood of Jesus are now to establish God’s covenant on earth which includes “going into” with authority in the Name above every name, fully clothed in the activated whole armor of God; not in our own power but by God’s mighty power (read – Mark 16:15-18; Ephesians 1:19 & 6:10-18; Luke 10:19; Matthew 18:18). That is, the Anointing in and upon us bestowed by the redemptive work of Christ Jesus. For after The Passion and death, Resurrection and Ascension of Jesus the Christ, the LORD God returned the Holy Spirit’s Ministry on earth. Therefore, every person redeemed and recreated and reconciled and restored all rights and privileges as heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ Jesus are saved as well as sealed with the Holy Spirit (read – 2Co 1:22; Ephesians 1:13 & 4:20). Now, it’s the responsibility of those called to the five-fold ministry gifts of Jesus: “apostles, prophets, evangelists, preachers, and teachers”(Ephesians 4:11) for the work of ministry and edification of the body of Christ. Yet we ourselves are responsible to read, study, mutter, and meditate God’s Word to recognize whether the Truth is being spoken and discern evidence of the good fruit; and to further develop the God-kind of faith operated by the God-kind of love with the Believers’ Authority.  

  • “to proclaim the year of the LORD’s favor and the day of vengeance of our God, to comfort all who mourn, and provide for those who grieve in Zion—to bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of gladness instead of mourning, and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair. They will be called oaks of righteousness, a planting of the LORD for the display of His splendor. They will rebuild the ancient ruins and restore the places long devastated; they will renew the ruined cities that have been devastated for generations. . . . . And you will be called priests of the LORD, you will be named ministers of our God . . . .” Isaiah 61:2-6 (NIV)  
  • “And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood, And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.” Revelation 1:5-6 (KJV)
