Dear Sisters and Brothers in Jesus the Christ,

Faith believes the WORD and speaks accordingly. The battle is the LORD’S; the enemy need only look on you to flee. The thing, however, is to know who you are and to Whom you belong . . . sons and daughters of the Sovereign LORD by the blood of Jesus. Of that revelatory knowledge by the power of the Holy Spirit comes the reality of Who the enemy of God “sees” when he looks at you – JESUS, who defeated the enemy of God at the cross because you are in Jesus and He in you by the blood. Clarity as to right standing in the Family of God unveils a myriad of power weapons at the ready: the WORD of God which is the sword of the Spirit, the Name of Jesus, the blood of Jesus, ministering spirit(s) or Angel(s) of God assigned to you, etcetera. “. . . when He, the Spirit of truth, comes, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak of His own accord but whatsoever He shall hear, that He will speak, and He will show you things to come” John 16:13. The Spirit of truth is God the Holy Spirit; and the truth is the WORD of God the Father; and God the Son – JESUS said, “And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free” John 8:32 (NKJV). Those highly esteemed by the world, however, took issue with Jesus the Anointed One and His Anointing over the word “free”, and gave no attention to the word “truth”. Consistent with this mindset was their reaction to the healing of the man who laid in-firmed by a pool for thirty-eight years. Jesus’ compassion and that man’s faith allowed for the favor (grace or mercy) of God to manifest. Yet again, the highly esteemed of the worldly (Babylonian) system took issue or offense with the fact that the man who had laid in-firmed for thirty-eight years now had the audacity to walk, bed in-hand; they couldn’t receive the miracle of the moment because they were consumed with focusing on less important things. The same mindset is evident this day in those who take issue with “the who” rather than “the what” relative to the WORD of God. As it is written, “27 Instead, God deliberately chose things the world considers foolish in order to shame those who think they are wise. And He chose those who are powerless to shame those who are powerful. 28 God chose things despised by the world, things counted as nothing at all, and used them to bring to nothing what the world considers important, 29 so that no (flesh) can ever boast in the presence of God” 1Co 1:27-29 (NLT). The Lord Jesus said, “But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and He will give you all you need from day to day” Matthew 6:33 (NKJV & NLT). Seedtime and harvest is a kingdom principle and kingdom citizens who are sons and daughters by the blood of Jesus are governed by kingdom principles. Therefore, kingdom citizens sow seed (i.e., the WORD, unconditional love, tithe and offerings) in good ground in the Way of God and reap the harvest thereof, giving thanks unto Abba Father, in Jesus’ Name. (Read – 2Co 4:13; Deuteronomy 31:6-8; 1Sa 14:6 & 17:47; Colossians 2:15; Ephesians 6:17b; John 5:2-10; Genesis 8:22; Malachi 3:10-11.)

Speak the promise . . . Harriet
