The Spirit of our LORD...


Hello Brothers and Sisters,

Isaiah speaks in this chapter of a rod that will come forth out of the stem of Jesse.
Isa 11:1  And there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse, and a Branch shall grow out of his roots:

Isa 11:2  And the spirit of the LORD shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD
 
These are the seven Spirits of the LORD.
 
Rev 1:4  John to the seven churches which are in Asia: Grace be unto you, and peace, from him which is, and which was, and which is to come; and from the seven Spirits which are before his throne
 
Rev 3:1  And unto the angel of the church in Sardis write; These things saith he that hath the seven Spirits of God, and the seven stars; I know thy works, that thou hast a name that thou livest, and art dead.
 
Rev 4:5  And out of the throne proceeded lightnings and thunderings and voices: and there were seven lamps of fire burning before the throne, which are the seven Spirits of God.
 
Rev 5:6  And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the throne and of the four beasts, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth.
 
This is our LORD Jesus Christ sent forth into all the earth.  Sent to teach us and show us HIS Spirit that we would learn how to be like HIM. 
We have been created in "HIS Image"
 
Gen 1:26-27  And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them
 
Job 36:22  Behold, God exalteth by his power: who teacheth like him?
 
We are created to be "like HIM"
 
John 9:9  Some said, This is he: others said, He is like him: but he said, I am he.
 
1 John 3:2  Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.
 
All of our LORD's life on this earth HE walked in these seven Spirits because HE is these seven Spirits.  These Spirits are the seven lamps before the throne of our GOD.  These Spirits are the manifestation of our Father to us.  Has Jesus Christ these Spirits are made physical and walked with us day to day to show us our Father physically.  We are to be "like HIM"
 
Let's look at these Spirits.  The Spirit of the LORD was all over Samson in Judges and he did mighty things.  The Spirit of the LORD came upon Saul in his beginnings.
 
1 Sam 10:6  And the Spirit of the LORD will come upon thee, and thou shalt prophesy with them, and shalt be turned into another man.
 
But Saul did not continue in this Spirit but chose rather to listen to another spirit.  This is what we all must face in this sinful earth.  The whispers of the evil ones are real and constant.  Even to try the most faithful,  for our Father would have us Strong and Righteous.
 
1 Sam 16:14  But the Spirit of the LORD departed from Saul, and an evil spirit from the LORD troubled him
 
This Spirit of the LORD is in all the earth...


Isa 40:7  The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: because the spirit of the LORD bloweth upon it: surely the people is grass
Isa 40:13 Who hath directed the Spirit of the LORD, or being his counsellor hath taught him?
Isa 61:1  The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me; because the LORD hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound.
These are the words of our LORD JESUS CHRIST to the people
Father is where all this comes forth from.

Eph 1:17 That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him:
 
Isa 30:1 Woe to the rebellious children, saith the LORD, that take counsel, but not of me; and that cover with a covering, but not of my spirit, that they may add sin to sin:
 
Hos 4:12  My people ask counsel at their stocks, and their staff declareth unto them: for the spirit of whoredoms hath caused them to err, and they have gone a whoring from under their God.

Where is your counsel, wisdom, knowledge and understanding coming from?  Be careful who or what whisper you let in,  be very careful of what you listen to.  Is it from man?  or is it from God's Word.  You will become what you eat.  Father knows this and has taken every precaution to give us the very best opportunity to live.  HE even came down and wrote with HIS own finger a covenant in stone for us.  These 10 simple commandments are the straight and narrow path to righteousness.  If we abide and feed our spirit and soul with this covenant daily we can overcome all the whispers of temptation.  Our Father always provides a way out for each of us from temptation.  It is a choice.  As we dwell daily in this covenant our spirit and soul becomes this righteousness to become "like HIM"   We become stronger in these manifestations of our GOD.  We have the Spirit of our LORD "HIS IMAGE" within us.  Let's feed it and grow it and share it!!!  
As we grow and strengthen our spirit with these seven lamps before the throne of our Father,  naturally will grow within us the fruits of this Spirit.
 
Gal 5:16  This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.  For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would.  But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law.
(The law here is the sacrificial laws written by Moses as judgment for breaking the covenant) 
 
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.
And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.
If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.  Let us not be desirous of vain glory, provoking one another, envying one another.
 
This is how we become "like HIM"  HE has made it very clear and plain for all to see.  What we sow on earth shall also be sown in heaven.
You have one spirit folks,  the spirit you have now is the same spirit you have when you die in the earth.  The spirit going to heaven will have these fruits.
Think about it..........  There can be no sin or desire for sin in Father's House ( the universe )  Would you want to have any sin in the heaven of which you will live?  Sin is like leaven,  if there is any in the loaf,  the entire loaf is leavened ( full of sin )  We have a perfect example of this in all the earth today.
We are waiting to leave this infected place behind and rest in the Glory of our Father in the place prepared by our LORD JESUS.  Learn your spirit now, fill it with the righteousness ( eternal good ) of our Father.  Every soul born is born with this goodness of GOD.  We get exposed to the sin very early in life and the choice begins.  The whispers grow stronger and our friends seem to eager to participate.  You can overcome!!!  Drown your spirit in righteousness,  its the essence of your being.  It's there I promise you,  seek it........... it will answer you in the most amazing ways.  You will begin to notice little things that happen and then more of them until you fully realize,  This is my Father who loves me the most!!!

God Bless You.... Love one another

I Thank Thee.......



Our Father which art in Heaven

Hallowed be thy Name, Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in Heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread,  Forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass
against us.  Lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil.  For thine is the Kingdom and the
Power and the Glory forever and ever.   Amen


Father... We thank thee,  We thank thy Power and we thank thy Holy Spirit for all things.
First we thank thee for loving us.  If you had not first loved us,  creation would not be.  If you had not first loved us,  we would not have been created in your "Image".  If you had not first loved us all these things would not have been added.  Your love towards us is beyond our ability to understand it in this earth.  There is only one thing I can use to try to understand how great thy love is and that is ALL CREATION.  Beginning with the House you have built for your children... the universe.

Ending with in this earth,  the willing sacrifice made for us ( the ones that fell ) so that we in our fallen state might still have hope to be with you again.  Father,  there are no words for this love.

Thank you for first loving us.

We thank thee Father for the mansion (planet) you prepared for us to inhabit.  A glorious garden beyond beauty.  Who could imagine the mountains and rivers,  the trees and flowers,  the grasses and herbs and the glorious life that fills all of it.  The waterfalls and the mist created by them.  The beauty in all the creatures you placed here for our enjoyment from the butterfly to the elephant and beyond.  LORD I can't imagine.  I am so very thankful for you Father.  The depths of the seas and all the magnificent creatures within them of which we know so little.  The colors and uniqueness of all the different species...who could imagine?   The waters crest the land and leave behind for us to see some of the splendor of you.  The wind blows where it will and gives us fresh air to breathe in and moves the seeds around the mansion you created for us to start more new life and replenish the earth.  It is all alive and all provided by you for our enjoyment. 

Thank you Father for our most beautiful home. 

We thank thee Father for the Heavens above.  Part of our home that we can see.  The sun to give us warmth and light.  Without the sun we would have no life.  I'm sure it provides even more than we know of.  The seasons we enjoy here and each one of them provide different needs for us.  The  moon gives us light in the darkness of night.  The moon and the stars they rule by night.  Every star is placed by you.  The atmosphere you have placed around our home to protect us from the dangers of space.  The asteroid belts perfectly placed to keep us from extinction.  The perfect balance of our solar system to sustain life on this beautiful garden so full of life.  All for our enjoyment.

Thank you Father for loving us so.

Thank you Father for creating us in your very own "Image"
I know most of us do not really know what that means exactly but I do know that it means we can be like you.  We can never be you of course but you have made it so we can be like you.  How wonderful is that??  God you are so good!!!  You have given us a soul with your very breath,  I can't tell you how that makes me feel inside.  You formed us with your very hands and we are very special to you this I know.  Our physical bodies born so perfect and functioning so precise as to sustain life and life abundant.  Our spirit that lives and breathes after you in all of your godliness and righteousness if we should so choose.  Thank you Father for choice.  All your children have this most amazing gift of choice.  You are a loving Father that will never force your love on your children nor never force your children to love you.  As you are willing to do all things for your children,  we must also be willing to be part of all things.  I am very very thankful to be a part of this.
 I know there are many of your children that are lost from these truths.  I pray for them Father.  I also know how many many times you present these truths to all of your children thru out their lives so that they will have ample opportunity to see and hear

A perfect heart and a willing mind...

Greetings Brothers and Sisters...


I was reading Galatians today and wow what a book.  Paul has so much depth to his writings,  he truly is greatly inspired by the Holy Ghost!!!
Sometimes...  well most times I have to read his writings several times and even then I have to really sit and contemplate their full meanings.  God's Word is so alive and feeds us new manna each time we seek from Him.

For example:
In Galatians 4 he had just spoken of how as children of God we are not born of the bondwoman (Hagar / Ishmael), but of the other a freewoman (Sarah / Isaac).

Gal 4:22-26  For it is written, that Abraham had two sons, the one by a bondmaid, the other by a freewoman.  But he who was of the bondwoman was born after the flesh; but he of the freewoman was by promise.  Which things are an allegory: for these are the two covenants; the one from the mount Sinai, which gendereth to bondage, which is Agar (Hagar).  For this Agar is mount Sinai in Arabia, and answereth to Jerusalem which now is, and is in bondage with her children.

The Jerusalem which now is was the Jerusalem of that time and was in bondage under the Law because her religious leaders taught her to not abide or pay too much attention to the Law of God but rather just bring your offerings in at the end of the year and we will sacrifice and kill innocent life for your sins.  Instead of teaching them of the Jerusalem above which is of God and void of all sin by choice and therefore free from the Law because we live fulfilling the Law as our example Jesus did.

But Jerusalem which is above is free, which is the mother of us all.

Now this does not mean we are perfect by any means,  no man is perfect in all his ways save one.

Deu 32:4  He is the Rock, his work is perfect: for all his ways are judgment: a God of truth and without iniquity, just and right is he.

But lets look at how our Father feels and sees perfection...

1 Ch 28:9 And thou, Solomon my son, know thou the God of thy father, and serve him with a perfect heart and with a willing mind: for the LORD searcheth all hearts, and understandeth all the imaginations of the thoughts: if thou seek him, he will be found of thee; but if thou forsake him, he will cast thee off for ever.

Gen 17:1 And when Abram was ninety years old and nine, the LORD appeared to Abram, and said unto him, I am the Almighty God; walk before me, and be thou perfect.

1 Kings 8:61  Let your heart therefore be perfect with the LORD our God, to walk in his statutes, and to keep his commandments, as at this day.

For the eyes of the LORD run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to shew himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect toward him.

Job 1:1  There was a man in the land of Uz, whose name was Job; and that man was perfect and upright, and one that feared God, and eschewed evil.

God does give us examples of men that were perfect in His eyes.  These men from God's perspective walked in His ways with a perfect heart.  I believe that a perfect heart and a willing mind is what our Father would deem acceptable.  Not that we aren't or haven't made mistakes along the way but our intent and follow thru is to walk in his statutes, and to keep his commandments.

So Gal 5 then says:

Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage. 
This yoke of bondage is sin.  Not walking in the Law, but choosing to break the measure of righteousness. 

Behold, I Paul say unto you, that if ye be circumcised, Christ shall profit you nothing.  For I testify again to every man that is circumcised, that he is a debtor to do the whole law.  Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law; ye are fallen from grace.

Circumcision to me means the extinction of passions (lusts) and the removal of spiritual impurity.  For true Christians separated from the unclean multitude and truly consecrated to God.
So Paul says if we are truly circumcised that we are keeping the whole Law of God.  He also is telling us that we all need the Grace that is Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of our breakage of this Law.  For all have sinned and fallen short of the Glory which is God.  We are not justified of the Law because we have all fallen short.  Even Job when he was tried to such an extent we would all pray not to have to endure, he was given the opportunity to see alittle bit a leaven that existed even within him.
Our Father is so Gracious as to reveal to us thru our trials what it is within us that keeps us from a pure heart.  If we look at these trials as such,  its an opportunity He has given us to see this and improve ourselves alittle bit more to be Christ like.

For we through the Spirit wait for the hope of righteousness by faith.  For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision; but faith which worketh by love.

So through the Spirit of our Father within us, we wait in the hope of righteousness by faith.  We know that thru the righteousness and love that our LORD Jesus lived, there is hope for us all to live as He did if we should so choose and come to realize that we too are His sons and to become His Sons. 

For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

Even as our Father in Heaven loves us as He loves Himself.  Our example to follow in purity and trust.  We are created in His Image.

In verse 18 he goes on to say:

But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law.

You are not under the Law because you are living the Law.  Truly you are living the Ten Commandments and obeying the good and righteousness put forth by our Father in that you don't break the Law.  The Spirit lives by the Law here and eternally.  The Spirit is willing but the flesh is weak.  Let your spirit grow within you,  feed it with the Word of God and it will lead you into a perfect heart and a willing mind.

Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.


So if we choose not to participate in these things and live righteously then the Law does not effect our lives, there is no judgment in the Law against us.  I tell you that this Law is a measuring stick for all of us and for all life for all time.  The things listed above are and will never be in the House of our Father (universe) .  Quite the contrary by choosing not to participate in these things and living in His righteousness (good that is eternal) it will excel our strength and power in Him.  We are meant to be Sons of the Living God and were made in His Image.  There is meaning in this folks...  We are Sons of the Most High and His Glory and Power He wants to bestow upon His Children.

His Sons Choose and Live in:

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.
And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.
If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.
Let us not be desirous of vain glory, provoking one another, envying one another.

Blessings and Love...
