Manifestations and Resets

Prepare for this New Year with the mindset of newness. In the form of resets [do-overs] and manifestations.

Two words to remember for 2024: Reset and Manifestation.

Many have waited in earnest expectation for the promises of The Lord. That patience has great reward, for the learning has truly been in the journey! Reflect on where you have been as you prepare to enter into this season withe greater spiritual wisdom [wiser] and more seasoned in Kingdom citizenship. You endured hardness as a good soldier and you will now experience the rewards of The Lord. (2 Timothy 2:3 - You therefore must endure hardship as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.)

Continue to be steadfast and unmovable in your faith, for your hope is in The Lord Jesus Christ. (Hebrews 3:14 -For we have become partakers of Christ, if we hold fast the beginning of our assurance firm until the end,)

Look for the manifestations of that which you have held dear in your heart.

James 1:12 - Blessed is the one who perseveres under trial because, having stood the test, that person will receive the crown of life that the Lord has promised to those who love him.

Colossians 3:2-24 - And whatever you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord and not to men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance; for you serve the Lord Christ.

Galatians 6:9 - And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart.

If you have fallen short, worry not for you can reset your way through repentance. For all is not lost.

Romans :23 - For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God

John 8:11 - And Jesus said to her, “Neither do I condemn you; go [and from now on]and sin no more.”

Be steadfast and unmovable in your walk with The Lord. Make this the year (season) in which you walk worthy and uprightly before
The Lord your God.

Remember: an audience commands a performance. Let your relationship be between you and your Heavenly Father, do the work of a servant in quietness and humility. Not before man for the sake of vain glory, pride, and boastfulness. (Matthew 6:1 - “Take heed that you do not do your charitable deeds before men, to be seen by them. Otherwise you have no reward from your Father in heaven.)

Everything we do is a seed. And that seed produces a harvest.

2024 will bring bountiful harvests. Some harvest will be welcome and well received, others are harvests that are the result of full-term sin and will bring about death. Not necessarily mortal death, but in some cases there will be physical death, prepare to lose that which has produced evil, for evil has no purpose and no place in the Kingdom of God.

Trust in The Lord.

Obey His Word

Know His Will concerning the plans and purpose of your life.

Have faith in God.

Be not ashamed of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your strength, and with all your soul.

Cry loud and spare not, for Jesus came to set the captive free.

Walk worthy and uprightly before The Lord.

Do what you are called to do in the Earth. We all have a purpose that has been planned for our lives.

2 Corinthians 5:17 - Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.

Blessed Be the Name of the Lord.

May His Blessings continue to be upon you. In Christ Love,

Apostle Prophetess Teacher,

Your Reflection

We all have experienced it. The copycat, the one who is built solely on the externals. They are whomever they feel is the latest and greatest trend. And with social media, it has become easier than ever to achieve the “you” that you want to be, for the moment at least. There are many out there ready to lure you. They cause you to have lust of the eyes. You see, therefore your desire.

They are called influencers. Those that have achieved unimaginable numbers of “followers”, people that are so impressed with what the influencers have to say, how they think, or even how they look; that they are literally followed or idolized by masses of people.

But what if we call it what it really is: idolatry? That should make those that love to copy others and follow celebrities and/or social media trends, abhor that they are even committing such sin. It is absolutely, without a doubt, idolatry.

According to Dictionary.com, the word idolatry is defined as

1. the religious worship of idols.

2. excessive or blind adoration, reverence, devotion, etc.

Now we know, a word cannot be defined by using that word or a form of that word in the definition, therefore, lets define the word idol.

Idol, according to Dictionary.com means

1. an image or other material object representing a deity to which religious worship is addressed.

2. Bible.

3. an image of a deity other than God.

4. the deity itself.

5. any person or thing regarded with blind admiration, adoration, or devotion: Madame Curie had been her childhood idol.

6. a mere image or semblance of something, visible but without substance, as a phantom.

7. a figment of the mind; fantasy.

8. a false conception or notion; fallacy.

As God’s creation, I speak of our Heavenly Father: El Elohim, Yahweh, Jehovah (Yᵊhōvâ - which is the proper name of the One True God); we are to be influenced by Him and Him alone.

Through Jesus Christ (Acts 4:12 - Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved) we are to worship Him and Him alone. We are to have no other Gods (someone or something that we idolize).

Ask yourself, “Do I spend even close to the time in prayer and fellowship with my Heavenly Father, my Creator, as I do on social media following influencers or just wasting time scrolling? To your own self be true, after all you and you alone must work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.

Using myself as an example, and please do not ever idolize me. I am a sinner saved by grace. If you choose to follow me, only follow the Word of God that I teach, not me as a person. I have experienced many, and I do mean many, who try to imitate my gifting and my anointing, my hair, the way I dress, the way I speak, even my fingernail colors and designs. (How crazy is that???) Only to grow tired of it or realize it was not for them.

I assure you, there is a reason and a purpose for EVERYTHING that I do, and I have prayed about it and waited for His guidance before I proceeded.

Seek the Lord for yourself and see what He has for your inward as well as your outward being.

You see Beloved, we are all made in the image and the likeness of God. (Genesis 1:26). Our image (our outward appearance) as well as our likeness (Our inward being – our soul which is our mind, our will, our intellect, and our emotions), should reflect The Father, The Son, and The Holy Spirit. Not another human being.

Just as we look into the mirror and see our reflection, our spirit should reflect that of the us, as God said in

Genesis 1:26; And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness:

In ALL that we do and ALL that we are, we should reflect The One who made us and created us.

Attempting to be like another of mankind, whom The Lord created as well, is as about as idiotic, foolish, and irrational as it comes.

If you don’t believe the truth in that; think about how full of yourself (pride) you get when you achieve or acquire something you saw someone else with and you had to have it, or one of your idols endorses something and because they said it was it, you got it and suddenly you felt more confident, you became arrogant, and filled with pride because you now have it. But sadly, you tire of it, it becomes outdated, and it cannot fill that void in you.

But instead of turning to your Heavenly Father, your Creator, you turn right back to your influencer, your idols, and see what they have to say and what they have labeled as the latest and the greatest newest new thing.

It’s a vicious cycle that shows no mercy as you are pulled in every direction trying to keep up with the trends, all while feeling that “missing” something in your heart.

The Lord has you and me on His mind always.

And I can say with absolute truth and absolute certainty, He is always on my mind. What anyone or everyone else thinks of me, is not my focus nor my business.

It is for this reason; I am at peace.

I am free to reflect the love of God and His glory. I can live in the will of God, because I have made a very conscience choice to live outside of the ways and the will of mankind.

When others look at you, the glory of God and the love of God should reflect back at them. Let the Word of God rule and reign in our hearts so much so, that we are living witness’s that reflect the image and the likeness of our Heavenly Father – The One who created us all.

What is the reflection people see when they look in (at) you? What is the reflection you see when you look in the mirror? Is the reflection - what looks back at you, in either scenario, the image and the likeness of God? Is His image reflecting off you?

If not, no worries, you cannot change your past, but you can redirect your future. If you do not know or have not accepted the Lord Jesus Christ as your Lord and your Savior, take a moment to do that now, by praying aloud:

Father God, I am a sinner, I know I have sinned against you.

I know that I need to be covered by the Blood of Jesus Christ and I need to accept Him as my Lord and Savior. Lord I ask you right now to hear and answer my prayer.

I ask you to forgive me of my sins.

I want to repent and walk in a new way.

I want to receive my inheritance as a joint-heir in the Kingdom

of God and in the Kingdom of Heaven.

I want to be born-again Father God.

I love you and your son Jesus Christ, and I want to have a personal,

intimate relationship with you. I thank you for hearing and answering my prayer.

In Jesus name I pray. Amen

And if you already know the Lord and have accepted Him, but you are not reflecting His image and His likeness, you are without excuse.

Spend more time with Him, in His Word (the Bible) and in the presence of others of like precious faith; and less time in the world, on social media, following celebrities and influencers, because you and them are on the path that leads to destruction; and like many, you will live and die on that path and spend eternity in Sheol (Hell).

Reflect on your reflection and your relationship with the Father and allow Him to make your reflection shine with the glory of the Lord! Amen!

In His Glorious Presence,

Apostle Prophetess Wendy Connor

Relationships: Vertical, Horizontal, and Biblically Speaking

Relationships are the foundation of every living thing, and relationships come in all shapes and sizes. With different angles, different approaches, and depending on the magnitude and caliber of the relationship, different levels

Know this for certain; you have to have one, with emphasis being on the word ONE, vertical relationship that must be intact, and thus it will cause you to have good success in all your horizontal relationships .

This vertical relationship is with the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, the ONE TRUE LIVING GOD of the Bible! If you get your relationship right with Him, all of your other relationships will work out just fine!

That does not mean that all of your relationships will be what most call good. It just means they will be managed in such a way that brings about peace for you and prayerfully, others

Proverbs 16:7 - When a man’s ways please the LORD, He makes even his enemies to be at peace with him.

You don’t have to be in agreement with a person, or even their ways, but there will be peace among you and between you..

Therefore, simply stated, that means YOU will have to make some decisions.

The first decision being to be sure to please The Lord in your daily living. You can’t please Him if you don’t know Him. And you won’t know Him if you don’t know His word.

John 10:30 - I and my Father are one.

Just in case you don’t know or understand, Jesus is the Word of God made flesh, The Lord put His Word(s) into a human body and that human is name Jesus:

John 1:14 - And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth

Next, in your decision-making process concerning relationships, you will have to settle in your soul that not all relationships are:

for you,
and/or are not for you at this time,
or the time for the relationship has come to a conclusion.

Romans 16:17 - Now I urge you, brethren, note those who cause divisions and offenses, contrary to the doctrine which you learned, and avoid them.

James 3:16 - For where envy and self-seeking exist, confusion and every evil thing are there

Ecclesiastes 3:1 - To everything there is a season, A time for every purpose under heaven:

Every relationship under the heavens, and on this earth, for mankind has to have a foundation of love.

Agape - Selfless Love (John 3:16 – for God, so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish, but have everlasting life.)
Philia- Comradely friendship (Samuel 18:1 - now when he has finished speaking to Saul, the soul of Jonathan, wasn’t it to the soul of David, and Jonathan loved him as his own soul).
Eros - Sexual Passion (Song of Solomon 1:4 – draw me away! We will run after you. The Shula might the king has brought me into his chambers. The daughters of Jerusalem we will be glad and rejoice in you. We will remember your love.)

The Bible is clear that we should at some point in our lifetime have a solid placement into all three categories of love. If not, stop and pray at this very moment because something is critically wrong in your life.

Father, mother, brother, sister, niece, nephew, uncle, aunt, husband, wife, friend, clergy, etc. with whomever; your relationships should both give and receive agape, philia, or Eros. And quite frankly, you will truly not have a solid philia or Eros relationship if you do not first have the agape relationship with your heavenly Father.

You see the One True Living God, that is the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, is love. And until the fall of mankind through disobedience of ONE man, Adam

Romans 5:19 - For as by one man’s disobedience many were made sinners, so also by one Man’s obedience many will be made righteous

there was once upon a time perfect love on the Earth. The God kind of love.

But the enemy, the one the Bible calls our adversary, Satan and the kingdom of darkness, came in and deceived Adam and caused a breach in the relationship between God and man. And now he gets in relationships and wreaks havoc. And most just learn to adapt to and accept dysfunctional situations and relationships as their normal. Beloveds, read your Bible, that mindset is not scriptural.

And because the adversary is let in, he comes into relationships and brings his buddies named strife, jealousy, envy, hatred, bitterness, deception, lies, etc. Everything that is ungodly that leads to a toxic relationship. Those toxic and dysfunctional relationships the adversary brings into relationships is all designed to keep you from your one vertical relationship with your Creator, El Elohim, the One True Living God.

This in turn causes the focus to to be on the horizontal relationships, that is, those relationships around you with others here on earth, so much so that you are too distracted to cultivate that one vertical relationship with your Heavenly Father, and ultimately you seek not to have relationship with our Heavenly Father because your toxic relationships absorb all of your time and your focus.

Further, you tolerate the toxic relationship because you have been taught to do so, otherwise you are not living the “Christian way”. Yes, there are those who proclaim to be saved and literally cause “hell” on earth in their lives as well as in the lives of others, all the while proclaiming: “God knows my heart“, “you don’t know me”, or “you’re judging me”, and of course the infamous“pray for me, I’m not there yet“, but the Scriptures are clear.

Matthew 7:16 - You will know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes from thornbushes or figs from thistles? 17 Even so, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. 18 A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit.

So one can say, what they are, or are not, but the Scriptures tell us all we have to do is watch their deeds and actions, and we will know for certain, if this is a relationship that we need to pursue, or would even want to pursue for that matter.

Therefore, not only is it lawful, but the scriptures encourage us, no matter who it is, once you choose salvation and the path that leads to righteousness, walk away from them that will steal your peace and/or cause you to sin. (Now of course, there are stipulations to just how and when you walk away, because in some cases, your life my lead them to Christ. It is important to pray about these matters.)

Mark 10:29-30 - 29 And Jesus answered and said, Verily I say unto you, There is no man that hath left house, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my sake, and the gospel's,

30 But he shall receive an hundredfold now in this time, houses, and brethren, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and lands, with persecutions; and in the world to come eternal life.

So although you will be persecuted for your choice to walk away from ungodly relationships, you will receive your reward both here on Earth and in Heaven. The Lord knows that there are those we must put some space and distance between us and them. If the relationship is ungodly and disturbs your peace and threatens your salvation, you know the song lyrics, “ these boots are made for walking, and that’s just what I’ll do…“ Walk away, and don’t feel guilty or bad about it. We were not put on this earth to abuse anyone, or for anyone to abuse us. That’s a no - no relationship with The Lord.

Here are a few points on what constitutes a godly relationship. We should ask ourselves the following two questions for starters:

Am I capable of being in a godly or Christ-like relationship?

Am I a godly example for someone or are they a godly example for me?

Does my “love” relationship bring peace and joy or hurt and harm?

Are my relationships burdensome to others or am I a ‘breath of fresh air’ because I “add” to their lives?

Godly relationships are selfless. THAT bares repeating, GODLY RELATIONSHIPS, ARE SELFLESS!

If you are always on YOUR own mind, a good friend, a good spouse, or a trustworthy person is NOT who you are! You are self-centered and that is a form of pride. Pride is never a good thing for anyone.

Godly relationships are reflective. You will reflect Christ-like traits and characteristics.

James 1:22 - Be doers of the Word, not hearers only.

Proverbs 18:24 – a man who has friends must himself be friendly, but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother.

1 Corinthians 15:33 – do not be deceived: “evil company, corrupts, good habits”.

2 Corinthians 6:14 - do not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers for what fellowship as righteousness with lawlessness and what communion has light with darkness?

Take the time starting now, and over the course of the next several days, to do a self-examination and see if you positive and affirming relationship material, not necessarily an Eros love or partnership-type relationship, even a friendship or a Familial relationship.

And do not be discouraged. If you failed the self-examination, the Blood of Jesus covers us all, and thankfully, when we are truly repentant, that means you have ask forgiveness and you no longer intentionally commit that sin, then He is faithful, and just to forgive us of our sins.

God bless you richly and abundantly!

In Jesus mighty and holy name!

Let’s Talk about the Rainbow Elephant in the Room

For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. [Romans 3:2]

3 As it is written: “There is none righteous, no, not one; [Romans 3:10].

Before ANY discussion about the Holy Bible and the scriptures therein can take place, there needs to be a very clear and immutable point: ALL have sinned and fall short of God’s glory. And furthermore, There is none that is righteous, not even one.

Once we understand that all of us have sin in our lives and continue to sin in some form or another, and we ALL need the saving grace and Power of The Blood of Jesus Christ; we can at least attempt to have some sort of understanding about some things.

Truthfully, what needs to be settled is that the scriptures are clear; and one being offended by the scriptures cannot, should not, and does not, negate the validity and truthfulness of what is written in them.

However, how the scriptures are taught and used against one another as a form of condemnation or as a means of judgment; in and of itself, is sin.

“The church” is guilty of sometimes doing such.
But, even in that scenario, the scriptures are still the infallible Word of God. And there are stern warnings about “changing” the scriptures. I apologize and repent on behalf of “the church” for the hurt and pain she has inflicted by the way she taught, instructed, spoke, and carried out being a living example of the scriptures, when it was not done in The Lord’s Holy Spirit of love. Understanding, I am not apologizing for the scriptures or the truth of the scriptures, nor am I apologizing for the scriptures being taught.

Before we dig deep, as I side note, I love the rainbow because I love colors and things that are colorful, but for me, the rainbow means a covenant from The Lord God, to His creation that He will never again destroy the earth by way of water with a flood:

Genesis 9:11-27

11 I establish my covenant with you: Never again will all life be destroyed by the waters of a flood; never again will there be a flood to destroy the earth.”

12 And God said, “This is the sign of the covenant I am making between me and you and every living creature with you, a covenant for all generations to come:

13 I have set my rainbow in the clouds, and it will be the sign of the covenant between me and the earth.

14 Whenever I bring clouds over the earth and the rainbow appears in the clouds,

15 I will remember my covenant between me and you and all living creatures of every kind. Never again will the waters become a flood to destroy all life.

16 Whenever the rainbow appears in the clouds, I will see it and remember the everlasting covenant between God and all living creatures of every kind on the earth.”

17 So God said to Noah, “This is the sign of the covenant I have established between me and all life on the earth.”

Beloved, according to the scriptures, the rainbow is, always has been, and always will be, about Our Heavenly Father’s covenant, [promise/contractual agreement] with us, His creation, to never again destroy the earth with water by flooding it. That is the ONLY meaning the rainbow carries with me.

Revelation 22:18-19

18 I testify and warn everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book [its predictions, consolations, and admonitions]: if anyone adds [anything] to them, God will add to him the plagues (afflictions, calamities) which are written in this book; 19 and if anyone takes away from or distorts the words of the book of this prophecy, God will take away [from that one] his share from the tree of life and from the holy city (new Jerusalem), which are written in this book.

Psalm 12:6-8 - 6 The words of the Lord are pure words,
Like silver tried in a furnace of earth,
Purified seven times.
7 You shall keep them, O Lord,
You shall preserve them from this generation forever.

8 The wicked prowl on every side,
When vileness is exalted among the sons of men.

You see beloved, Gods Word is pure, it is alive and it is powerful.

Hebrews 4:12 - For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart

The hearer will perceive that the Word of God is being spoken harshly or judgmentally, but it is not, it pierces the soul and the spirit, therefore, no matter how it is spoken, even in the kindest and most gentlest way possible; it is a two/edged sword, so it is going to cut the hearer; that is it’s purpose by design!

So please, understand The Word of God, is going to do what it does! And thank The Lord that it does, because it keeps us from being doomed and destined to eternal Sheol (Hell).

How can the Word be living or alive, you ask? Easily, in this case, meaning the case of God’s Holy Word. Jesus Christ is the word(s) of God our Father, put in a Body and made human to dwell among us!

John 1:1 - In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

John 1:14-15 - 14 And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.

15 John bore witness of Him and cried out, saying, “This was He of whom I said, ‘He who comes after me is preferred before me, for He was before me.’ ”

This alone is why those who have decided to appease their sinful nature and sinful life by changing the scriptures to be more “welcoming” and more “inviting” as one once said, in attempting to discredit my teaching of The ENTIRE Bible, because they have friends and family that are a part of the Homosexual lifestyle.

Well, Beloved, the scriptures are the Word of God, and surely He does not need my help in making His Word more “welcoming”.

And for those that love the word inclusive, The Bible is inclusive. It is for ‘ALL who have sinned and fall short’ since ‘none of us are righteous, no…not even one.’

As for discrimination felt by those in the homosexual lifestyle, first please do not compare it to the plight of racism. It is not even close to being the same or similar!

Nowhere in scripture (and I have read the Bible from cover-to-cover, that is from beginning to end, and more than once) does it state or imply that it is a sin for having melanin-enriched skin , but I do read the following scriptures about homosexuality which is a form of sexual perversion:

We are spirit beings created in the image and likeness of God (spiritual) Genesis 1:27 So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.

We are spirit beings but we live in bodies made by God (natural) Genesis 2:7-8 7 Then the LORD God formed man of dust from the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living being. 8 The LORD God planted a garden toward the east, in Eden; and there He placed the man whom He had formed.

In the beginning, God gave the mandate to be fruitful and multiply, two men cannot reproduce and two women cannot reproduce

Genesis 1:27-28 27 God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them. 28 God blessed them; and God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it; and rule over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the sky and over every living thing that moves on the earth.”

Leviticus 18:22 You shall not lie with a male as with a woman. It is an abomination.

Leviticus 20:13 If a man lies with a male as he lies with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination. They shall surely be put to death. Their blood shall be upon them.

1 Timothy 1:9-10 9 realizing the fact that law is not made for a righteous person, but for those who are lawless and rebellious, for the ungodly and sinners, for the unholy and profane, for those who kill their fathers or mothers, for murderers 10 and immoral men and homosexuals and kidnappers and liars and perjurers, and whatever else is contrary to sound teaching

Romans 1:20-32 20 For ever since the creation of the world His invisible attributes, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood through His workmanship [all His creation, the wonderful things that He has made], so that they [who fail to believe and trust in Him] are without excuse and without defense. 21 For even though they knew God [as the Creator], they did not honor Him as God or give thanks [for His wondrous creation]. On the contrary, they became worthless in their thinking [godless, with pointless reasonings, and silly speculations], and their foolish heart was darkened. 22 Claiming to be wise, they became fools, 23 and exchanged the glory and majesty and excellence of the immortal God for an image [worthless idols] in the shape of mortal man and birds and four-footed animals and reptiles.

24 Therefore God gave them over in the lusts of their own hearts to [sexual] impurity, so that their bodies would be dishonored among them[abandoning them to the degrading power of sin],25 because [by choice] they exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever! Amen.

26 For this reason God gave them over to degrading and vile passions; for their women exchanged the natural function for that which is unnatural [a function contrary to nature], 27 and in the same way also the men turned away from the natural function of the woman and were consumed with their desire toward one another, men with men committing shameful acts and in return receiving in their own bodies the inevitable and appropriate penalty for their wrongdoing. (sickness due to homosexuality)

28 And since they did not see fit to acknowledge God or consider Him worth knowing [as their Creator], God gave them over to a depraved mind, to do things which are improper and repulsive, 29 until they were filled (permeated, saturated) with every kind of unrighteousness, wickedness, greed, evil; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, malice and mean-spiritedness. They are gossips [spreading rumors], 30 slanderers, haters of God, insolent, arrogant, boastful, inventors [of new forms] of evil, disobedient and disrespectful to parents, 31 without understanding, untrustworthy, unloving, unmerciful [without pity]. 32 Although they know God’s righteous decree and His judgment, that those who do such things deserve death, yet they not only do them, but they even [enthusiastically] approve and tolerate others who practice them.

You don’t have to like it, but it is scripture and getting angry, offended, slandering, and even going so far as to lie on those that teach, preach, and obey the scriptures; (it happens to me quite often and yet I continue in my calling) will only serve as detrimental in your life.

Attacks against those preaching the word of God is an attack from Satan and his kingdom of darkness. Do not allow yourself to be used as an instrument of unrighteousness towards The Lord. You say it is not against The Lord but against those “Holy-Rollers” and those “Bible-Thumpers” but the scriptures are clear, coming against God’s people is a direct and intentional attack at the Lord.

Matthew 25:40 - And the King will answer and say to them, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did itto one of the least of these My brethren, you did it to Me.’

Beloved, be glad that there are those who are more concerned about your salvation and eternal life, than you being upset or offended by them teaching the truth in love. We tend to be more concerned about you leaving this earth having not known the truth, than we are about you being upset with us. Remember, in The Kingdom, love is an action word, (a verb) not a touchy-feely word that describes (an adjective) an emotion

Remember, once we share the truth of God’s Holy Word, we have done what we were supposed to do. Do not take it personally if the hearer does not accept the truth, it is on them. If they choose to live a life not pleasing to the Lord that is their choice.

And no matter what is said, the scriptures cannot and do not lie, and the scriptures are clear, it is a dangerous and damnable thing to change the scriptures or their meaning:

Revelation 22:18-19 Amplified Bible

18 I testify and warn everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book [its predictions, consolations, and admonitions]: if anyone adds [anything] to them, God will add to him the plagues (afflictions, calamities) which are written in this book; 19 and if anyone takes away from or distorts the words of the book of this prophecy, God will take away [from that one] his share from the tree of life and from the holy city (new Jerusalem), which are written in this book.

Let us not shy away from what we believe and KNOW to be the truth of God’s Holy Word in the scriptures, and let us continue to speak the TRUTH on love.

If you know your Heavenly Father, why would you be afraid or fearful? It is far more important to serve Him than to attempt to serve mankind by coddling and appeasing a life of sin that is NOT pleasing to the Lord.

Matthew 10:28

And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. But rather fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.

I am finding more and more, it’s not so much the truth of the scriptures, as it is being rejected; it is more so, people have and continue to believe the lies they are being told instead of seeking out the truth by finding out and reading for themselves!

I leave you with one final Bible passage so you may see illustrated in the scriptures the penalty of homosexuality on a city, as imposed by The Lord:

Genesis 19

The Doom of Sodom

1Now the two angels came to Sodom in the evening as Lot was sitting in the gate of Sodom. When Lot saw them, he rose to meet them and bowed down with his face to the ground. 2And he said, “Now behold, my lords, please turn aside into your servant’s house, and spend the night, and wash your feet; then you may rise early and go on your way.” They said however, “No, but we shall spend the night in the square.” 3Yet he urged them strongly, so they turned aside to him and entered his house; and he prepared a feast for them, and baked unleavened bread, and they ate. 4Before they lay down, the men of the city, the men of Sodom, surrounded the house, both young and old, all the people from every quarter; 5and they called to Lot and said to him, “Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us that we may have relations with them.” 6But Lot went out to them at the doorway, and shut the door behind him, 7and said, “Please, my brothers, do not act wickedly. 8“Now behold, I have two daughters who have not had relations with man; please let me bring them out to you, and do to them whatever you like; only do nothing to these men, inasmuch as they have come under the shelter of my roof.” 9But they said, “Stand aside.” Furthermore, they said, “This one came in as an alien, and already he is acting like a judge; now we will treat you worse than them.” So they pressed hard against Lot and came near to break the door. 10But the men reached out their hands and brought Lot into the house with them, and shut the door. 11They struck the men who were at the doorway of the house with blindness, both small and great, so that they wearied themselves trying to find the doorway.

12 Then the two men said to Lot, “Whom else have you here? A son-in-law, and your sons, and your daughters, and whomever you have in the city, bring them out of the place; 13 for we are about to destroy this place, because their outcry has become so great before the LORD that the LORD has sent us to destroy it.” 14 Lot went out and spoke to his sons-in-law, who were to marry his daughters, and said, “Up, get out of this place, for the LORD will destroy the city.” But he appeared to his sons-in-law to be jesting.

15 When morning dawned, the angels urged Lot, saying, “Up, take your wife and your two daughters who are here, or you will be swept away in the punishment of the city.” 16 But he hesitated. So the men seized his hand and the hand of his wife and the hands of his two daughters, for the compassion of the LORD was upon him; and they brought him out, and put him outside the city. 17 When they had brought them outside, one said, “Escape for your life! Do not look behind you, and do not stay anywhere in the valley; escape to the mountains, or you will be swept away.” 18 But Lot said to them, “Oh no, my lords! 19“Now behold, your servant has found favor in your sight, and you have magnified your lovingkindness, which you have shown me by saving my life; but I cannot escape to the mountains, for the disaster will overtake me and I will die; 20now behold, this town is near enough to flee to, and it is small. Please, let me escape there (is it not small?) that my life may be saved.” 21 He said to him, “Behold, I grant you this request also, not to overthrow the town of which you have spoken. 22“Hurry, escape there, for I cannot do anything until you arrive there.” Therefore the name of the town was called Zoar.

23 The sun had risen over the earth when Lot came to Zoar. 24 Then the LORD rained on Sodom and Gomorrah brimstone and fire from the LORD out of heaven, 25and He overthrew those cities, and all the valley, and all the inhabitants of the cities, and what grew on the ground.

We share out of love for your souls, not out of hate and discrimination of your lifestyle, be mature and wise enough to know and accept the true difference , because when you do, Father (The Lord) will heal you and deliver you from all that anger, hurt, and pain which stems from being rejected by a world, who for the most part, tries to honor the scriptures and therefore is unapologetically in disagreement with any form of sexual perversion, including homosexuality.

I didn’t write the scriptures, I do however, believe them, teach them, and with all that is within me, I try to live them!

Stay strong and Stay Blessed !

In Christ Everlasting Love,

Resolve!

Many, just as myself, have long since done away with making New Year’s resolutions. The whole. “new year, new me” thing gets old especially if the New Year’s resolutions are the same every year, year after year, after year. The same resolution with the same failed results. No need to feel condemned or feel as if you are being judged, you are not.

But why go at it the same way every year, yielding zero favorable results?

The problem is not the resolution, nor is the problem you per se; the problem is in the understanding of the commitment itself.

Proverbs 4:7 - Wisdom is the principal thing; Therefore get wisdom. And in all your getting, get understanding.

Let resolve itself, be your resolve! Because all the prayer in the world cannot help you; if, you have not resolved that you are going to do somethings different.

Y0ur first resolve is understanding who you are, as well as who’s you are:

Genesis 1:26 - And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness:

1 Peter 1:15 - but as He who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct,

Psalm 24:1 - The earth is the LORD’s, and everything in it, the world, and all who live in it;

Next, understand that you are a creation and you have a Creator, and without The Lord our Creator, we can do nothing in and of ourselves:

John 15:5 - “I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.

Without The Lord, we can do nothing. Even if you think it is you who doing it, it is not. It is The Lord.

Acts 17:28 - for in Him we live and move and have our being,

And most importantly, don’t worry about things, just pray about everything!

Philippians 4:6 - Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.

This New Year, don’t make more of the same resolutions that are just empty promises to yourself; resolve to have a robust and genuine relationship with your Heavenly Father (through Jesus Christ), your Creator and watch your life change for the better! [John 10:10 - I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.]

Happy New Year!

In His Everlasting Love and in His Service,

Mary Christ Mas(ses)

It’s Christmas!

Not at all like the Christmas seasons I grew up celebrating, but nevertheless, it is Christmas according to the calendar.

Things seem so bad in today’s world. Just ask anyone if there is something to complain about and you will get a barrage of complaints without the question ever being answered.

And yet that is nothing new,

Ecclesiastes 1:9-10 - 9 That which has been is what will be, That which is done is what will be done,
And there is nothing new under the sun.
10 Is there anything of which it may be said,
“See, this is new”?
It has already been in ancient times before us.

So never lose hope. We are not the first nor the last generation to experience what we define as negative signs of the times. It’s all in a state of mind.

I love the Nativity Story of the scriptures. It has so many layers to glean from.

Take Mary for example, she is going about life, and by all accounts living a righteous and virtuous existence before The Lord , with a good reputation among the people (the masses) of her “neighborhood”, when the Angel Gabriel comes and visits her, bringing her news that she will conceive a child of The Holy Spirit , and not of a man. And this baby would be the Son of God.(Luke 1:35)

You think you have troubles?

Mary, knew she hadn’t been with a man, but who would really believe her? Surely, no one, especially her parents nor her fiancé would believe her. Her story about how that baby got in her belly defied nature and everything humanly possible about conception. (Luke 1:26-38). So Joseph had to take her away from everyone she knew and loved to protect her from being ostracized and shunned, when in actuality it was her virtue that had given her favor with The Lord to be chosen to bring forth His son.

Isaiah 55:8 - “For My thoughts are not your thoughts, Nor are your ways My ways,” says the LORD.

I can definitely tell you from experience , God’s will never looks like man’s will or man’s ways; to serve Him and be in His will, prepare to come under attack because it is not for others to be convinced of your obedience to what He spoke to you Beloved.

Here, in my opinion, is the best part of the scriptures concerning Mary’s story about conceiving and being the mother of The Messiah, our Savior, The Lord Jesus Christ:

Luke 2:19 - But Mary kept all these things and pondered them in her heart

And again:

Luke 2:51 - Then He went down to Nazareth with them and was obedient to them. But His mother treasured up all these things in her heart.

Mary was a wise (perhaps that among many, is just one reason she found favor with The Lord) in that she knew and understood what had been spoken to her concerning Jesus The Christ, and what this meant for the masses!

She didn’t talk about it to the masses, she didn’t complain about it , she pondered it! She hid the truth in her heart, and in doing so she didn’t sin against the will of God concerning His plan for salvation.

And once Jesus was born and grew up, Mary still watched, observed, and juxtaposed that which had been spoken to her concerning her child Jesus, with the plan and purpose of His being born into the Earth that was unfolding before her very eyes.

Christmas means so much to so many, but when we fully understand what Christmas means in terms of what the scriptures tell us concerning those that were directly impacted so that it could happen; then we understand the why it is not a time of sorrow, sadness, or mourning, but a time of jubilant gratitude and celebration because:

1)Mary agreed with Father’s plan for salvation, despite what she had to endure all of her life thereafter; including watching her son be wrongfully executed.

2) Jesus Christ agreed with Father’s plan for salvation agreeing to pay a hefty and very sacrificial price for ALL mankind (including those who were/are never going to accept and acknowledge Him as the Messiah) and the masses, those who have accepted the fullness of His plan and purpose for their/our lives and therefore, as did Mary, saying, “Let it be to me according to your word’”.

As we exchange the pleasantries and compliments of this Christmas Season by saying “MERRY CHRISTMAS”, let us ponder in our hearts MARY CHRIST (and the) MASSES for herein lies the true meaning of Christmas because it is THE reason for this season we call Christmas.

May you know the wonders of His Love.

Merry Christmas Beloved, from my family’s heart(s) to yours,

Spiritual Forecast: 2023

25 See that you do not refuse Him who speaks. For if they did not escape who refused Him who spoke on earth, much more shall we not escape if we turn away from Him who speaks from heaven, 26 whose voice then shook the earth; but now He has promised, saying, “Yet once more I shake not only the earth, but also heaven.” 27 Now this, “Yet once more,” indicates the removal of those things that are being shaken, as of things that are made, that the things which cannot be shaken may remain. Hebrews 12:25-27

The spiritual reset has begun. Many have turned away from The Lord, and for some of those who have, it means finality, while for others it is time for a do over. An opportunity for restoration.[It is of the LORD'S mercies that we are not consumed, because His compassions fail not. Lamentations 3:23]

To everything there is a season, A time for every purpose under heaven Ecclesiastes 3:1. Do not waste time thinking there is time to waste. For you have been called, summoned with purpose, to serve The Lord, let go of the cares of this world and set your heart and your focus on things above.

Choose this day whom you will serve, there are no grey areas;
“No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be loyal to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon Matthew 6:24.

For the faithful, those who have chosen to come out from among them and serve The Lord with gladness, great is your reward. “Your faith has made you whole, complete, lacking no good thing”, says The Lord. Behold, I will do a new thing, Now it shall spring forth; Shall you not know it? I will even make a road in the wilderness And rivers in the desert. Isaiah 43:19

But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin. Hebrews 3:13.
Let us encourage one another and despise not the chastening of The Lord in this season while holding fast to what we know to be His Will and the Truth of His Word. For many have come with false doctrine even changing the Holy Scriptures to deceive and to satisfy deceitful lusts of the flesh. And yet the time is not yet, therefore He is shaking the Earth yet again.

See to it that YOUR salvation is sure by always abounding in The Truth of The gospel of Jesus Christ.

In His Everlasting Love,

Apostle & Prophetess Wendy Connor

Validation over Cancellation

As we gather today with friends, family, and those near and dear to our hearts, many will pause and give thanks.

Not me and my family, no, not at all; we don’t pause one day a year and give thanks, we LIVE thankful each and every day! And our lives are a living testament of such!

You see, our Redeemer lives! And to KNOW Him, is to have intimacy with Him; it is to know Him by His Word.

In John 10:30, Jesus said: “I and My Father are one.”

Jesus came to set the captive free, the captive being you and I. We were doomed, destined to eternal separation from The Father; that is, until Jesus Christ shed His Blood on The Cross at Calvary for us. Hallelujah!

Do you REALLY know what that means, Beloved?

You will respond, “yes…I do know!” But some that say they know, don’t really know.

It is evident because of terms like “cancelled” being used in the world today!

How can any believe they have the power to cancel another? As if, anybody on this Earth, being God’s creation, and having created nothing ourselves, have the power or the authority, or the ability to cancel someone else? Can we actually invalidate, who/what Father has validated?

Recently, a social media attack was launched against me and a JITA Network organization, Selah, stating that both I and the organization were homophobic. And to validate the claim, an email I sent out to the Selah Christian Organization, was edited and honed in only on the Old and New Testament scriptures about homosexuality being a sin.

Understanding that the email was EIGHT (8) printed pages of ALL the topics (scriptures) discussed at the event. Those Biblical topics ranged from healing, to the love of God, to homosexuality. The part of the email about homosexually was in response to someone asking me if I would provide in-depth scriptures on homosexuality, as this individual was passive-aggressively being “bullied” by a specific person in the LGBTQ lifestyle who was angry that the person would not denounce the scriptures by accepting and proclaiming homosexuality is no longer a sin.

I know what you are thinking…and yes, I tell you no lie, that is the truth, this really did happen!

In response to one of the scriptures, I wrote the following: “this dispels the argument of ‘god made a mistake, He put me in the wrong body’, as if the Most High God, the Creator of ALL made such a an error! I further, wrote “rolling my eyes, and shaking my head in disgust/disdain”. And you know the rest… someone took THAT sentence quote with two scriptures on homosexuality [out of context], and went on a rampage against me.

Because it caused such a bruhaha, I released a statement with supporting documents proving it was taken out of context, and of course my statement was not released and the one who released the “doctored” email, hid behind all the anger and threats being posted about myself and the organization. I invited those offended and the perpetrator to have an in- person and open conversation to expose the lie, but they didn’t want that. They wanted me cancelled.

Cancelled.

Ponder that, they wanted me cancelled. Despite, their ignorance in not knowing the scriptures and to fear The Lord; I still feel compassion for those that went to such great lengths in an attempt to cancel this anointing upon me, the gifts of Holy Spirit moving through me, and the signs and wonders that follow me. But then I thought to myself": “you are the same ones, that want to rewrite the Bible and omit scripture that does not fit into your chosen lifestyle”. And yes, it is a choice! No mistakes were made, Our Creator is perfect.

Therefore, it stands to reason, that the same would think they somehow have the authority to curse (cancel) whom The Lord has blessed!

To that, I can only say, Hell is real and I have absolutely nothing but love for you, and would be honored to share the love and truth of God’s Holy Word with you, in love, not in condemnation, Satan condemns, Holy Spirit convicts .

Sin is sin, no matter the sin.

And there is no such thing as a big sin or a little sin.

The scriptures tell us that the following will ensure you a place in the Lake of Fire:

Revelation 21:8: But the cowardly, [sinners]unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.”

I didn’t write the scriptures, I just move in the Five-Fold ministry gift of a teacher, to teach the scriptures in-depth. And for that, I make no apologies.

I must make it into heaven and have eternal life, as does all of us. And your being offended by the scriptures will not negate my obedience to my calling.

James 3:1-Not many of you should become teachers, my fellow believers, because you know that we who teach will be judged more strictly.

And I will not allow the fear of offence of the scriptures cause me to stop moving in my gift and my calling of teaching the scriptures. In fact, in my call and the spiritual gifts that I move in, I am either loved or hated, there is rarely any in between, because the adversary is on a mission to keep God’s creation from relationship with His creation -through ignorance (lack of knowledge). Many choose the way of darkness not realizing nor understanding that Satan and His kingdom hates you, and he knows Hell was NEVER created for mankind, but for him and his demons, and yet he lures you by causing you to be offended by the scriptures. Many in Hell want to come back and warn others, and cannot. Luke 16:27–31 - 27 “Then he said, ‘I beg you therefore, father, that you would send him to my father’s house, 28 for I have five brothers, that he may testify to them, lest they also come to this place of torment.’ 29 Abraham said to him, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.’ 30 And he said, ‘No, father Abraham; but if one goes to them from the dead, they will repent.’ 31 But he said to him, If they do not hear Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded though one rise from the dead.’ ”

Just because I don’t ascribe to the sin of what the scriptures call sexual immorality, or gossiping, or lying, or whatever sin it is - (sin simply means to miss the mark and fall short of Father’s will), does not mean I hate or judge.

And in this specific matter, it speaks to the character of those that would lie and launch such an attack built on lies. What does that say about you, who lives in a glass house, and chose to throw lying stones?! It’s the hypocrisy of the very thing you believe you are fighting, is the very thing you did to us because we believe in the scriptures.

Saints, never, ever allow the fear of this cancel culture to cause you to cower into a hole of hiding or shutting down your witness. Do you not know nor understand the God you serve?!

If you know me, you know that I love hard – no matter what,. I love souls enough to push past the flesh, and minister truth to your spirit, that is the part of us that is made in the image and the likeness of God. (Genesis 1:26).

Also understanding that in the Kingdom of our Lord, the word love is a verb, not an adjective.

In the Kingdom love motivates us to action, we must do something, its not that we feel something.

John 3:16 - For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.

As we give thanks with a thankful heart today, let us be thankful that we are validated in the Kingdom of our Dear Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ:

Validated by Christ Jesus

Ephesians 1:6 - to the praise of the glory of His grace, by which He made us accepted in ithe Beloved.

Ephesians 4:29 - Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen.

John 17:6-10 - 6“I have manifested Your name to the men whom You have given Me out of the world. They were Yours, You gave them to Me, and they have kept Your word. 7Now they have known that all things which You have given Me are from You. 8For I have given to them the words which You have given Me; and they have received them, and have known surely that I came forth from You; and they have believed that You sent Me.

9“I pray for them. I do not pray for the world but for those whom You have given Me, for they are Yours. 10And all Mine are Yours, and Yours are Mine, and I am glorified in them

Cancelled by the world through the adversary Satan

Proverbs 14:5 - An honest witness does not deceive, but a false witness pours out lies.

John 8:44 - You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father’s desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies.

Acts 5:3 - 3 Then Peter said, “Ananias, how is it that Satan has so filled your heart that you have lied to the Holy Spirit…

2 Timothy 1:12 - For this reason I also suffer these things; nevertheless I am not ashamed, for I know whom I have believed and am persuaded that He is able to keep what I have committed to Him until that Day.

John 10:10 - The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy.

Romans 8:31 -What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?

Revelation 22:15 - Outside are the dogs, those who practice magic arts, the sexually immoral, the murderers, the idolaters and everyone who loves and practices falsehood

May your Thanksgiving Day be joyful and filled with thanksgiving!

The Conflict

If asked, most would say, life’s greatest conflict is good versus evil - and that is one of life’s major conflicts, no doubt. But take a look at this conflict. It’s one that many struggle with personally, and by the time you understand what you chose NOT to understand while you had the opportunity to understand it, it’s too late.

That conflict is living your life on this earth in such a way that it pleases our Heavenly Father, the one who created us all.

You see Beloved., The conflict is in rationalizing what is acceptable behavior, thoughts, and actions according to the will of God.

I can’t tell you how many people I have heard say, “I don’t believe a loving God would send any to Hell”, or “I’m not that bad, there are so many that do way worse than what I’m doing,” “I do good deeds for others so I can go to Heaven after I die,” or “I don’t believe I will end up in Hell, I’m saved and I know The Lord.”

Well…first, The Lord does not send us to Hell, He pronounces the judgment on us based on how we lived our lives here on Earth; therefore, we send ourselves to Hell, by choice. Eternal damnation (Hell) is a choice, and if you choose not to read and understand the instruction book (The Bible) you will end up there. And MANY are there [Matthew 7:13-15]. The Bible, that you have chosen not to read in its entirety and study, but assume the scriptures that you have heard mean one thing, when they mean something entirely different in context is clear; you are already stacking eternal death/damnation in your favor.

How you see yourself in terms of doing “good deeds” or that you are not “that bad”, is deceptive and delusional because we cannot earn our way into heaven by what we deem good deeds: Ephesians 2:9 Amplified Bible: not as a result of [your] works [nor your attempts to keep the Law], so that no one will [be able to] boast or take credit in any way [for his salvation]. Salvation is a gift, nothing any of us have done except, accept Jesus Christ as our Lord and Saviour and LIVE like He is exactly that in our lives.

It is not enough to only pray the prayer of salvation and accept Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior; our instruction book (The Bible) tells us there is far more required of us. We must live holy and that’s where the challenge and the conflict arise.

To arise above this conflict within mankind, within our own hearts, we must, and I do mean must, make some choices that are necessary, but that are also not popular. You are going to be shunned, judged, and talked about. Jesus said, “if the world hates you, it is because they hated me first”( John 15:18). Sadly, many cannot handle that and end up negating their acceptance of their own salvation. Remember, the scriptures are clear:

Philippians 2:12 - Therefore, my beloved, as you have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling;
2 Corinthians 5:17 - Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.

Your salvation is personal. It has to be worked out between you and your Heavenly Father. But understand you will not be able to please the world (mankind) and please The Lord as well.

I can tell you with certainty, “I am not going to spend eternity in Hell because of another nor for another! I value my salvation more than anything and anybody”! Therefore, I have put away foolish things and foolish people who want to engage in foolishness; when I became a new creation in Christ Jesus. And in my life, The Word of God (The Bible ) is my final authority.

And if you value what happens to you after you leave this Earth, you will do the same.

Don’t tell others you are a Saint (the Biblical term for Christians), let it be seen and experienced. After all, if you have to tell people you are…chances are you are not. Matthew 7:16 - You can identify them by their fruit, that is, by the way they act. Can you pick grapes from thornbushes, or figs from thistles?

Ask yourself the following, and answer yourself truthfully:

Are you any of the following?

The one that’s always talking business that is not yours, having an opinion about others (judging others), lying, sowing discord (stirring the pot to cause strife), and/or your thoughts are usually negative and/or evil.

Proverbs 6:16-19 - 16There are six things which the LORD hates,
Yes, seven which are an abomination to Him:

17Haughty eyes, a lying tongue,
And hands that shed innocent blood,

18A heart that devises wicked plans,
Feet that run rapidly to evil,

19A false witness who utters lies,
And one who spreads strife among brothers.

You cannot make it into Heaven if you are any of the above. The scriptures are clear .

2. Are you one who hides strife or ought in your heart?

Beloved, why would you hold something in your heart towards someone else and they not even know you feel that way, much less why? That hurts you in your relationship with your Heavenly Father. If you have something in your heart towards another, stop the adversary from deceiving you! Don’t you know the Bible says:

Matthew 5:24 - leave your gift there before the altar and go. First be reconciled to your brother, and then come and offer your gift.

Beloved, please, if you have ought with me, please tell me, let us talk as spiritual people, that is as mature people in Christ Jesus because if we do not, I strive to walk in the love of Christ, and if you have anything otherwise towards me, and have not made me aware, that is poison you drank, so don’t look for me to be sick. In other words, I live in peace and sleep well at night because my obedience is to my gift and calling in Christ Jesus, and I hear His voice, it is for this reason, with all that lies within me, I keep the peace. You should as well. No matter who it is.

Are you bound by family? Some feel the very title of mother or father, means one must sacrifice peace. Not at all, one must honor them . And there are many instances in which, so that one can honor them, they must forsake them. Again, beloved, your salvation, above all else, is at stake. Our Heavenly Father knows sometimes it is family alone that can cause your salvation to not be sure, especially when you are living saved and in the Kingdom and they are not. The scriptures are clear, if you must choose between family and His Kingdom, you will receive a great return for your having made the sacrificial choice of the Kingdom and your salvation.

Matthew 19:29 - And everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or wife or children or fields for my sake will receive a hundred times as much and will inherit eternal life.

Do you not realize that even covering up your wrongdoings (sin) will cause you eternal damnation in Hell? Don’t feel proud that you got away with it, feel fear that you hid it and are still hiding that sin.

Proverbs 28:13 -
People who conceal their sins will not prosper, but if they confess and turn from them, they will receive mercy.

Jeremiah 16:17- For My eyes are on all their ways; they are not hidden from My face, nor is their wickedness concealed from My eyes.

Psalm 90:8 - You have placed our wickedness before you, Our secret sins [which we tried to conceal, You have placed] in the [revealing] light of Your presence.

Isaiah 29:15 - Woe (judgment is coming) to those who [try to] deeply hide their plans from the Lord, Whose deeds are done in a dark place, And who say, “Who sees us?” or “Who knows us?”

The scriptures are rich with instruction, wisdom, and knowledge! Jesus Christ, through His gift of salvation, has granted us the opportunity of grace to make it into the Kingdom of Heaven and have eternal life. Even leaving us a book with the instructions on how to do so.

Satan hates you but wants your soul to spend eternal damnation with him in Hell and ultimately in the Lake of Fire. He methodically targets your flesh with pride (you always being on your mind), offenses, strife, gossip, jealousy, stubbornness, lying, etc. and you fall for it every time.

Beloved, come boldly to the throne of grace and accept His Gifts of Salvation, Forgiveness, Mercy, and Grace, for all have sinned and come short of the glory of God. In other words, we all have need of His mercy and His grace.

If you have not accepted The Lord Jesus Christ as your Savior, nor accepted His gift of Salvation, or you need to renew your position of faith in The Kingdom because you are in a backslidden state, please go now to the Contact Us page of this website and pray the prayer of salvation. And reach out to us, we are here to assist you in your walk with Christ - for we are our brothers’ (and sisters’) keepers.

May we walk worthy in His presence.

in His Service,

Apostle and Prophetess,

The Scales are Teetering Side to Side; When They Should Balance

When we are sick we need a doctor, correct? When we do not follow the rules or the laws, we stand to receive penalties for our infractions, no?

For example, if we do not follow the rules of the road, we receive a moving violation - or a ticket as it is more commonly known; would it be safe to say that is correct as well?

In the United States alone, not to mention the world, prisons not only exist but are full, because of infractions that resulted in incarceration as a penalty for not following the rules.

1 Timothy 1:8-11

8 We know that the law is good if one uses it properly. 9 We also know that the law is made not for the righteous but for lawbreakers and rebels, the ungodly and sinful, the unholy and irreligious, for those who kill their fathers or mothers, for murderers, 10 for the sexually immoral, for those practicing homosexuality, for slave traders and liars and perjurers—and for whatever else is contrary to the sound doctrine 11 that conforms to the gospel concerning the glory of the blessed God, which he entrusted to me.

A hefty part of my calling, my assignment- the very essence of my purpose, ordained by The Lord, is to teach the penalties of sin, unrepented sin; so that the world may know and understand The Truth of God’s Holy Word as well as the penalties of sin, we are all without excuse. And I do so, that is operate in my calling without fear of reprisal from mankind.

You see Beloved, I have to - and do - love souls (God’s creation) enough to push past the soul [mind, will, intellect, and emotions] and target the spirit; the part of us that is created in the image and likeness of God.

Genesis 1:26

26 Then God said, “Let us make mankind in our image,in our likeness,

It is our spirit that is created like our Heavenly Father. And it is housed in an Earth suit [a body] while we are here on Earth.

BUT, and this is a very big but: what we do here on Earth determines if we will return to be with The Lord after we die. This why it is so important to walk in the spirit, so that we do not give into the desires of our flesh which is our soul. The part of us the adversary [the devil, Satan] has access to influence.

Galatians 5:16-26

16 I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh. 17 For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, so that you do not do the things that you wish. 18 But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.

19 Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, 20 idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, 21 envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.

22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law. 24 And those who are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. 25 If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. 26 Let us not become conceited, provoking one another, envying one another.

And you should know very well by now, if you have participated in any of the teachings of this ministry, that it is scriptural: MANY do not leave this earth and have eternal life that is to “go home and be with The Lord”.

Matthew 7:13-15

13 Enter through the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and spacious and broad is the way that leads away to destruction, and many are those who are entering through it.

14 But the gate is narrow (contracted by pressure) and the way is straitened and compressed that leads away to life, and few are those who find it.

And no matter how palatable it is made to sound when someone passes away: “God needed another flower in His Garden”, “So and So gained their wings”, or “God called them home”; the truth is, the path to salvation to make your calling and your election sure is a very narrow path with great pressure, in the form of enticements, designed to make you sin against your flesh [sexual sin], sin against others [words and deeds], and sin against God [living an unholy and unrighteous life] - because you have NO relationship with your Heavenly Father.

As much as you would like to think and believe that accepting Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior is enough to ensure your salvation and that you “ make it in”, it isn’t because The Word, The Bible tells us such.

2 Peter 3:11

His divine power has given us everything we need for a godly life through our knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness. Through these he has given us his very great and precious promises, so that through them you may participate in the divine nature, having escaped the corruption in the world caused by evil desires. For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith goodness; and to goodness, knowledge; and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness; and to godliness, mutual affection; and to mutual affection, love. For if you possess these qualities in increasing measure, they will keep you from being ineffective and unproductive in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. But whoever does not have them is nearsighted and blind, forgetting that they have been cleansed from their past sins. Therefore, my brothers and sisters, make every effort to confirm your calling and election. For if you do these things, you will never stumble, and you will receive a rich welcome into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

A lot of time is wasted on distractions that have been strategically orchestrated by your adversary, the devil, because he roams about the earth like a lion seeking it’s prey, ( 1 Peter 5:8); and you fall victim every time because you lack knowledge of our God and of Jesus Christ our Lord.

Yes, you have heard of Them (Father, Son, Holy Spirit), but you don’t know them. You believe what you have been told/taught, never verifying for yourself through reading and understanding the scriptures, therefore you lack understanding because you lack knowledge. Some of you have even self-appointed yourself to a calling that is not yours, that is to say you have not been called to that gifting/title and therefore you have to “steal” someone‘s [who is called to that gifting] messages, because you have not studied and learned of Him for yourself and you don’t know what He called and purposed for you to do.

There are many imitators of God’s elect and the scriptures warn us throughout to beware of false teachers.

So, why do I teach as much about Sheol [Hell] as I do about the Godhead (The Trinity- Father, Son, Holy Spirit)? Because it is vital that in your understanding, you have balance in your knowledge of all things that pertain to life and godliness and that you understand this life you live is determining where you spend eternity.

The assumption is: “I’m not that bad, that I will end up in Hell”, and yet, according to scripture, you are well on your way because the penalty of sin is death, and too many penalties that are clearly defined in the scriptures as penalties, or sin if you will, are being committed and The Judge will sentence you to eternal death [Hell].

And the many that are there (in Hell), if they could come back, would tell you Hell is real and to please get your life in order before it is too late.

Revelation 21:8 sums it up for us:

8 But the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.”

Or we can look in Proverbs, and see if we fall short:

Proverbs 6:16-19

These six things the Lord hates,

Yes, seven are an abomination to Him:

17 A proud look,

A lying tongue,

Hands that shed innocent blood,

18 A heart that devises wicked plans,

Feet that are swift in running to evil,

19 A false witness who speaks lies,

And one who sows discord among brethren.

And even such a lifestyle here on earth can yield a very unpleasant, unfruitful, and short life span that lacks longevity.

1 Corinthians 12:30-32

30 That [careless and unworthy participation] is the reason why many among you are weak and sick, and a number sleep [in death]. 31 But if we evaluated and judged ourselves honestly [recognizing our shortcomings and correcting our behavior], we would not be judged. 32 But when we [fall short and] are judged by the Lord, we are disciplined [by undergoing His correction] so that we will not be condemned [to eternal punishment] along with the world.

Beloved, the time that you spend gendering strife, sowing discord, complaining about things that bother or offend you [it’s not about you boo], and seeking to attain material things at any cost; it’s not worth it, it’s not worth you spending eternity [forever] in eternal damnation.

I determined some time ago, my salvation was the most valuable thing I possess, and I am unwilling to forego it or forfeit it to satisfy my soul. I have chosen to come out from among them.

2 Corinthians 6:17-18

17 Therefore

“Come out from among them

And be separate, says the Lord.

Do not touch what is unclean,

And I will receive you.”

18 “I will be a Father to you,

And you shall be My sons and daughters,

Says the Lord Almighty.”

You will find me taking care of my family [Proverbs 14:1 - The wise woman builds her house [on a foundation of godly precepts, and her household thrives], But the foolish one [who lacks spiritual insight] tears it down with her own hands [by ignoring godly principles].], I am walking and operating in my calling; and that means I don’t have time for gossip and perverseness (Proverbs 14:2), and I surely am not lifting my head so high as to walk in pride and look down upon God’s creation as if my worth exceeds anyone else’s, but I especially don’t based on material things.

You do realize that none of those material things can pass over into the spirit realm when you leave this earth? In other words, all that “stuff” that you thought you had to have, because you believed it defined you and gave you some sort of status, stays right here when you leave this earth and die. And for many, it ends up being the reason you didn’t gain eternal life.

Am I without sin? Of course not! For all have sinned and come short of the Glory of God (Romans 3:23), but I do, purposely, try not to sin by being aware and very conscious of my actions and with all that lies within me, I strive to keep the peace (Romans 12:18), it is for this reason that I choose not to address those that gossip against me or lie on me to generate strife. I refuse to entertain it by defending myself or telling my side, I am doing a work for The Lord, and outside of that I am taking care of my family and involved in things that pertain to them, so there is no time for anything else which is why I don’t talk on the phone for social intentions , (I just don’t have the.time). I t is better to reach me via email or text; it is easier and faster for me to respond and we have a record of what we talked about - that too diminishes gossip, lies, and misunderstandings.

Honestly, if you have time to create a situation of lies, gossip, strife, and misunderstanding, perhaps you should take all of that idle time that you have and work on your salvation.

Read and study The Word of God, learn of Him, get in relationship with Him, and stop allowing the adversary to cause you to forfeit your salvation.

In the meantime, I will continue to teach the FULL gospel, which includes eternal life (Heaven) if we live according to 2 Peter 1; and eternal death (Hell)if we choose to live according to Revelation 21;8 and Proverbs 6:16; I value your salvation just as much as I value mine because it is His will that none perish. (2 Peter 3:9).And that keeps me motivated to walk in my calling. I truly love souls

Beloved, we can’t change our past, but we can redirect our future

How, you ask? By walking in the spirit, that is the part of us created like Them (The Godhead), instead of walking in the flesh, our soul [our mind, our will, our intellect, and our emotions] that the adversary has access to. It bares repeating:

Galatians 5:16-26

Remember this Beloved We all have a choice, because our Creator, created us with a free will. Make the resolve to choose the narrow path which is life.

May this message minister to you in such a way that you desire relationship with your Heavenly Father as it was purposed from the very beginning.

To The Only Wise God be glory, honor, and praise.

Stay Blessed,

Apostle & Prophetess Wendy Connor

Three Questions, One Answer

1. Are you often misunderstood, and always manage to say the wrong thing?

2. Does it seem nothing ever goes right for you?

3. Have you ever questioned yourself: what am I missing, what is it that I am unable to see about myself that others see about me?

At some point we all have asked ourselves at least one, if not ALL, of these questions. I can say without any doubt that I surely did.

It was when I first accepted Jesus Christ into my life and first got saved. It was for certain, that I couldn’t see myself as one the adversary [Satan and his evil demonic spirits] had blinded into believing a lie. And as a result, I thought I was just fine. Not knowing, I needed to get my backside up there upon The Potter’s Wheel for a COMPLETE spiritual makeover! However, I did note, that it seemed like I always managed to put my foot in my mouth at just about the most worst opportune time! And that of course led to just about everything going wrong in my life and nothing going right in my life.

But what a faithful, and yet merciful God we serve! Before I ever even had the opportunity to ask Him to show me me, He was showing me who I was and what I looked like in His loving eyes.

Isaiah 1:18 King James Version

18 Come now, and let us reason together, saith the Lord: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.

You see, I was dirty, covered in sin and unrighteousness. I was a sinner in need of His saving grace. As a side note, once we accept Christ, we are still sinners, just that now we are sinners saved by His Grace!

Psalm 51:7 New King James Version

7 Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean; Wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.

However, if you can relate to any one, or all, of the three questions asked at the beginning of this blog, you are suffering from the spiritual malaise called pride. No worries, I had a bad case of it as well - and you are in good company. There are so many suffering from it, just go on social media and check out how many self-pictures (a.k.a. - selfies) people post daily…and for some…hourly!

Pride is a sin that The Lord hates!

Proverbs 6:16-19 Amplified Bible

16 These six things the Lord hates;

Indeed, seven are repulsive to Him:

17 A proud look [the attitude that makes one overestimate oneself and discount others], a lying tongue,

And hands that shed innocent blood,

18 A heart that creates wicked plans, Feet that run swiftly to evil,

19 A false witness who breathes out lies [even half-truths],

And one who spreads discord (rumors) among brothers.

It is the same sin that got Lucifer cast out of Heaven. Lucifer, forgetting that he too was created by the Most High God, began to get so full of himself and what he believed to be his own abilities, that he determined he was going to be like God!

Isaiah 14:12-15 New King James Version

12 “How you are fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! How you are cut down to the ground, You who weakened the nations!

13 For you have said in your heart: ‘I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God; I will also sit on the mount of the congregation On the farthest sides of the north; 14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds, I will be like the Most High.’ 15 Yet you shall be brought down to Sheol, To the lowest depths of the Pit.

Therefore, Beloved friend, to be filled with the sin of pride, is to exalt oneself into a mindset and mentality of believing to be someone or something our Creator, The Lord did not create us to be. Further, to our own demise we begin to believe the lie of who pride told us we were. And next you know, you are blinded by the god of this world, Satan.

2 Corinthians 4:3-5 New King James Version

3 But even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing, 4 whose minds the god of this age has blinded, who do not believe, lest the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine on them. 5 For we do not preach ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord, and ourselves your bondservants for Jesus’ sake.

So when you are often misunderstood, or manage to say the wrong thing(s), and nothing ever goes “right” for you and you wonder what you are missing, because you are unable to see in yourself what others clearly see in you and working through you; it is because the god [Satan] of this world has blinded you and you now live in what I call a “you-bubble”. The “you-bubble” is a spiritual sphere that surrounds you in literally what you believe is “your world”. And no matter what The Lord tries to speak to you through others, you literally cannot receive it. The god of this world and his demonic forces have oppressed you by overtaking your mind with thoughts that you believe to be your own, but that really originated through demonic influence speaking to you. And just as Lucifer did, you begin to believe in you (yourself), not in a humble and meek way - as the scriptures tell us to be - but in a way in which you believe in yourself more highly than you ought!

Romans 12:3 New King James Version

3 For I say, through the grace given to me, to everyone who is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think, but to think soberly, as God has dealt to each one a measure of faith.

Matthew 11:29-30 New King James Version

29 Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.”

And, once you live anyway other than taking up the yoke [burden] of Christ’s suffering, and learn how to be like Jesus Christ, which is gentle and lowly [humble - to walk in humility], that burden of pride becomes heavy, shameful, and unbearable.

And next you know, destruction comes along and you fall; and you fall hard.

And that same devil that convinced you to believe you were “all that” and more; has now left you broken and needing both healing from your brokenness and all who you broke because your pride caused more than just you to suffer hurt and damage, but also deliverance from the spirit of pride that caused you to be destroyed [in all your pomp and pageantry] as well as fall.

The Lord hates pride, and just like Lucifer fell due to the pride in his heart, so did you due to the pride in your heart.

Now here is what is absolutely insane: those that fall due to pride, and fall hard, and get back up and repeat the same mistake [sin of pride] all over again is absolutely insane.

Beloved, please know this: all that you have and all that you are is not because of you, it is because of The Lord’s mercy and His grace, first and foremost, and yes of course; hard work, or lack thereof, plays a significant role as well.

So let that truth along with The truth of God’s Holy Word, marinate in your heart so that the next time you decide to think more highly of yourself than you ought to or decide to look down your nose at any of His creation, you will choose the path of gentle and lowly. Amen

Blessed Be The Name of The Lord!

In Jesus Christ Love,

Do What YOU need to do…and Make a Note of It

17 Now I urge you, brethren, note those who cause divisions and offenses, contrary to the doctrine which you learned, and avoid them.

18 For those who are such do not serve our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly, and by smooth words and flattering speech deceive the hearts of the simple.

19 For your obedience has become known to all. Therefore I am glad on your behalf; but I want you to be wise in what is good, and simple concerning evil.

20 And the God of peace will crush Satan under your feet shortly.

The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen. Romans 16:17-20

It is a difficult pill to swallow; that no matter how much living the Word of God and teaching the Word of God you do, you just aren’t going to be able to reach most. And of the ones you do reach, it may or may not last depending on that individual and where they are in their own personal lives and how dedicated and devoted they are in their walk with Jesus Christ, or in many cases - the lack thereof.

We are shown a very good illustration of this in the Parable of the Sower in Matthew 13:1-23:

13 That same day Jesus went out of the house and sat by the lake.

2 Such large crowds gathered around him that he got into a boat and sat in it, while all the people stood on the shore.

3 Then he told them many things in parables, saying: “A farmer went out to sow his seed.

4 As he was scattering the seed, some fell along the path, and the birds came and ate it up.

5 Some fell on rocky places, where it did not have much soil. It sprang up quickly, because the soil was shallow.

6 But when the sun came up, the plants were scorched, and they withered because they had no root.

7 Other seed fell among thorns, which grew up and choked the plants.

8 Still other seed fell on good soil, where it produced a crop—a hundred, sixty or thirty times what was sown.

9 Whoever has ears, let them hear.”

10 The disciples came to him and asked, “Why do you speak to the people in parables?”

11 He replied, “Because the knowledge of the secrets of the kingdom of heaven has been given to you, but not to them.

12 Whoever has will be given more, and they will have an abundance. Whoever does not have, even what they have will be taken from them.

13 This is why I speak to them in parables:

“Though seeing, they do not see;

though hearing, they do not hear or understand.

14 In them is fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah:

“‘You will be ever hearing but never understanding;

you will be ever seeing but never perceiving.

15 For this people’s heart has become calloused;

they hardly hear with their ears,

and they have closed their eyes.

Otherwise they might see with their eyes,

hear with their ears,

understand with their hearts

and turn, and I would heal them.’

16 But blessed are your eyes because they see, and your ears because they hear.

17 For truly I tell you, many prophets and righteous people (not everyone with a title or calling is living the Truth of God’s Holy Word - you’ll know by their words, deeds, or actions - mark them as well and don’t believe them) longed to see what you see but did not see it, and to hear what you hear but did not hear it.

18 “Listen then to what the parable of the sower means:

19 When anyone hears the message about the kingdom and does not understand it, the evil one comes and snatches away what was sown in their heart. This is the seed sown along the path.

20 The seed falling on rocky ground refers to someone who hears the word and at once receives it with joy.

21 But since they have no root, they last only a short time. When trouble or persecution comes because of the word, they quickly fall away.

22 The seed falling among the thorns refers to someone who hears the word, but the worries of this life and the deceitfulness of wealth choke the word, making it unfruitful.

23 But the seed falling on good soil refers to someone who hears the word and understands it. This is the one who produces a crop, yielding a hundred, sixty or thirty times what was sown.”

Our relationship with our Lord, through Jesus Christ, is a personal one. It is such that the more we have a revelatory understanding of spiritual matters, the more we are able to appreciate and value our own salvation.

And all the more are we able to understand that our attending a church and confessing Jesus Christ is Lord, does not any more secure nor validate our salvation as sure; than is standing in a garage making us a valid car. Now, we can call ourselves cars, and even call ourselves one of the “called” cars, and yet we are not. It is so much more than a confession. You must read and study the scriptures and then you will begin to understand how and why it is a lifestyle we are to live, purposed by design from the Beginning. You see my friend, when it is all said and done, we all will stand before The Throne and give an account of how we lived our lives here on Earth.

And just because salvation is a mere passing thought to so many, does not nullify The Truth of God’s Holy Word.

Oh!…and the fact that one doesn’t believe at all, well…that too my friend, does not negate Who The Lord is, nor does it excuse one from eternal damnation because you “didn’t know”. All will have had an opportunity for salvation. In fact, by His very nature, The Lord sent many on occasion to attempt to win your soul by choosing to serve Him. And the Bible, has always been here for us to read and study.

Romans 3:3-4 - 3 What then? If some did not believe or were unfaithful [to God], their lack of belief will not nullify and make invalid the faithfulness of God and His word, will it? 4 Certainly not! Let God be found true [as He will be], though every person be found a liar, just as it is written [in Scripture],

“That You may be justified in Your words,

And prevail when You are judged [by sinful men].”

But so many are so steeped in the world and the ways of the world and don’t want to hear it, thought they already knew it, or thought they had more time then they do on this earth.

I, as well as you and all others, are here for a very short time, but eternity is forever and that is a very long time!

My salvation is far too important to me than to allow the adversary to steal my salvation, or better yet, me give over my salvation, by allowing the adversary Satan, and his demons, to move me by influencing others to attack me and/or offend me. Philippians 2:12 [Amplified Bible] 12 So then, my dear ones, just as you have always obeyed [my instructions with enthusiasm], not only in my presence, but now much more in my absence, continue to work out your salvation [that is, cultivate it, bring it to full effect, actively pursue spiritual maturity] with awe-inspired fear and trembling [using serious caution and critical self-evaluation to avoid anything that might offend God or discredit the name of Christ].

You too, Beloved, must stay focused working out your own salvation with fear and trembling and that means understanding Romans 16:17-20.

It is strongly urged that you pack up your grace and get a one-way ticket to a place called “Get-as-far-away-from-them-as-possible-and-don’t-look-back” its located in a country called “My Salvation is too Valuable”, and it has arrivals daily for those who awakened and smelled the proverbial “coffee” of getting away from toxicity that will cause you to react out of flesh toward their constant actions divisiveness. You know the toxic people that you allow to make your life miserable because they are instruments of unrighteousness being used of the devil to steal your peace?

This is a blog post in which the scriptures make the point by illustrating, far better than I ever could write it.

Therefore, let’s close with Romans 16:17-20 in a more modern translation and another in a more conversational translation. Let the Word of God minister peace in your soul and spirit as you read:

Romans 16:17-22 [Amplified Bible Translation]

17 I urge you, brothers and sisters, to keep your eyes on those who cause dissensions and create obstacles or introduce temptations [for others] to commit sin, [acting in ways] contrary to the doctrine which you have learned. Turn away from them. 18 For such people do not serve our Lord Christ, but their own appetites and base desires. By smooth and flattering speech they deceive the hearts of the unsuspecting [the innocent and the naive]. 19 For the report of your obedience has reached everyone, so that I rejoice over you, but I want you to be wise in what is good and innocent in what is evil. 20 The God of peace will soon crush Satan under your feet.

The [wonderful] grace of our Lord Jesus be with you.

Romans 16:17-22 [The Message Bible Translation]

17-18 One final word of counsel, friends. Keep a sharp eye out for those who take bits and pieces of the teaching that you learned and then use them to make trouble. Give these people a wide berth. They have no intention of living for our Master Christ. They’re only in this for what they can get out of it, and aren’t above using pious sweet talk to dupe unsuspecting innocents.

19-20 And so while there has never been any question about your honesty in these matters—I couldn’t be more proud of you!—I want you also to be smart, making sure every “good” thing is the real thing. Don’t be gullible in regard to smooth-talking evil. Stay alert like this, and before you know it the God of peace will come down Satan with both feet, stomping him into the dirt. Enjoy the best of Jesus!

Lovingly in Christ Jesus, Stay Blessed,

Seriously, Why Not Choose Peace?

Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. John 14:27. Those are the words of our Lord Jesus Christ. Look at it what it says: Peace I leave with you, My Peace I give to you; Not as the world gives, do I give to you.

There are many who lack peace. No matter what they tell you, it is obvious when one’s soul is not at peace. It may reveal itself as an angry nature, depression, lying, gossip, or one that genders strife, isolation from friends and family, and most often, it is revealed through addiction. And sadly, it is a vicious cycle. The more one lacks peace and suffers from stress, the more they turn to the very acts just described.

Beloved, Jesus said, MY PEACE, I LEAVE WITH YOU.

Remember, we are made in the image and likeness of the Godhead. That is, our spirits resemble The Godhead. But our soul, that is to say, our flesh, is formed by our surroundings. For example, the formative years of our childhood are said to be from ages 0-7 (give or take). These years are believed to be the most crucial cognitive (intellectual) stages of our life because it formulates our social, emotional, and physical development - with emphasis on it is believed to be. I do not claim to be a specialist in any of those fields therefore, this said belief is merely for the purpose of providing a more tangible illustration for this message. Therefore, the point is, that we are most affected by external as well as internal conditions.

There is a war going on in our members (our mind, our will, our intellect, our emotions) and for many, that war affects their sleep, their relationships, their thoughts, and even their health.

You see Beloveds, the antithesis of peace is none other than stress.

The Apostle Paul said in Romans 7:20-23 (Amplified Bible):

20 But if I am doing the very thing I do not want to do, I am no longer the one doing it [that is, it is not me that acts], but the sin [nature] which lives in me.

21 So I find it to be the law [of my inner self], that evil is present in me, the one who wants to do good. 22 For I joyfully delight in the law of God in my inner self [with my new nature], 23 but I see a different law and rule of action in the members of my body [in its appetites and desires], waging war against the law of my mind and subduing me and making me a prisoner of the law of sin which is within my members.

And it is safe to say, we all war (fight) to keep our wits about us, but more importantly, our peace.

I can humbly say, I have accepted the peace of Jesus. The peace He left us, I have taken hold of it, and it is unlike anything in this world, just as He said in the scriptures.

You see, His peace is intentional and purposeful.

If you are steeped so deep in the ways of this world, it is for certain, that you will not have the peace Jesus gave us.

Until you choose to come out from among them (them being the ways of this world) you will continuously seek to have the peace that the world calls peace. And that simply will not suffice. If it did, you wouldn’t have such a longing to satisfy your soul in trying to find peace with a needle and shooting into your veins, snorting up your nostrils, continually drinking from a bottle or can, self-pleasuring by looking at images of that which the scriptures call vile (filth), or even in exorbitant amounts of sexual intercourse. All to anesthetize you - and that being your peace - which lasts but for a short time. And obviously, none is giving you peace.

Because again, that vicious cycle is in play; the more you do, the more you desire, the more you desire, the more you do. And nowhere in that cycle is Jesus’ peace. Those are examples of the world’s way. And Jesus said in the scripture John 14:27, His peace is not as the world gives.

So clearly, we can deduce that there is a distinction between the peace of Jesus and the peace of the world.

Now, you are probably saying in frustration: “woman of God, this is all easy for you to say because you don’t have that warring in your members!” And to that, I respond by saying, “As long as we live and breathe on this earth, the adversary will come at us with attacks designed to keep us stressed, lacking faith, and giving in to our sinful nature; and yes, I am no different; I probably suffer greater attacks by the adversary because I am walking deep in my calling allowing Father to work through me and in me to win souls to the Kingdom of God by snatching them from the hold of the adversary. Of course he does not like that. I am threat to his kingdom of darkness.

The difference between my having Jesus’ peace and you suffering with the cares of this world is a very simple one-word determinant, and that word is: choice.

I choose to serve The Lord, my heavenly Father, with gladness by accepting Jesus’ gift of salvation through His Blood. And nothing and no one can take that from me. It can be forfeited, by allowing it to be stolen! And often times, you give your peace away by being in “messy” situations, that either you created or inserted yourself into. Listen, can I just be real for a moment: if someone is speaking against you, or talking about you in a negative way; you don’t have to respond or react, especially if it isn’t true. Them choosing to gossip and murmur, without knowing all sides of the matter, Is on them them – not you. But you are so self-absorbed and prideful, you feel like “you have to say something do something!” Situations like that, Your peace was not stolen, you gave it away. One of the biggest “peace – killers”, is self-centeredness. This is a cute little rhyme that I like to use when counseling: “it’s not about you boo.” Now, if something negative is said about you and it is true, just remember: we all our sinners; it’s just that those of us who have accepted Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior, we are sinners saved by his grace! And as Jesus said: “Go and sin no more.”

You lack Jesus’ peace because of the choices you have made. You choose to live according to the world, in this “cancel-culture” thing (as if anyone has the spiritual authority to cancel anyone - whom the Son sets free, is free indeed - John 8:36) and therefore you ascribe to whomever/whatever the latest and greatest is at the moment - tossing your mind to and fro trying to keep up with and be in with the “in” masses.

You have positioned yourself to fit in with the world, instead of setting yourself apart in Christ Jesus. You believe what you wear, what you drive, and what you have in earthly wealth and earthly possessions can give happiness and therefore, if you are happy, you will have peace. That is the not the peace Jesus left us and if you are honest with yourself, you still don’t have peace.

In fact, you are more distraught with life all the more because the world’s system is designed to destroy you, and the first thing it goes after is your peace.

Most go into debt trying to keep up with this world because you fill your mind with what you view on television and what you listen to on the radio. You idolize celebrities as if they are God and created the heavens and the earth. Do you not realize the adversary, Satan is the prince of the power of the air (waves).Ephesians 2:2 - in which you once walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit who now works in the sons of disobedience,.

John 17:16-20 Amplified Bible

16 They are not of the world, just as I am not of the world. 17 Sanctify them in the truth [set them apart for Your purposes, make them holy]; Your word is truth. 18 Just as You commissioned and sent Me into the world, I also have commissioned and sent them (believers) into the world. 19 For their sake I sanctify Myself [to do Your will], so that they also may be sanctified [set apart, dedicated, made holy] in [Your] truth.

20 “I do not pray for these alone [it is not for their sake only that I make this request], but also for [all] those who [will ever] believe and trust in Me through their message,

Do I have peace that surpasses all human understanding? You bet I do! I sleep very well at night, I mind my own business and my own affairs, I do the will of the Father - by walking in my calling and sharing the love of God through His Word to those willing to receive it, and my focus is always on things above and not things below for this world shall pass away.

And many, and I do mean MANY allow the adversary to influence them as instruments of unrighteousness to come at me with slander, gossip, lies, false accusations, etc. And yet my peace remains intact. I am content with what I have or lack thereof. But how, woman of God, how can you not let things affect you?

The answer is simple: choice! I choose to mind my own business and affairs - that alone will give you peace beyond human comprehension - and I choose to live within our means. I have set myself apart to do the will of God and the work of the ministry - being mindful these are His souls and I have been granted, through the gift of salvation, to represent His Kingdom and minister to His creation.

And Rest assured, none of this foolishness on Earth is going on in Heaven. And it will not be allowed to enter into Heaven. So don’t think you will raise Hell on this Earth and make it into His Kingdom of Heaven. I have read the scriptures from cover to cover, twice, it is clear, those that choose the ways of the world will have their place in the lake of fire. Revelation 21:8 - But the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.”

My prayer life is robust. Yours should be also. It is better and much more edifying to be in conversation with The Lord, than any conversation here on earth, unless fellowshipping about the goodness of God with other believers or those who want to come into the fold.

But some of you cannot do that, you still fear mankind and what others will say or think of you, if you do not conform to their ways or the ways of this world. Matthew 10:28 - And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.

You are afraid you will be accused of judging and therefore be rejected by those you have given far more credence than is deserving. That is just another trick of the adversary.

My choice is to be a living epistle read of all mankind {2 Corinthians 3:2 - You are our epistle written in our hearts, known and read of all men:} and be a living witness letting my light so shine before men that they may see, my good works and therefore glorify my Father which is in Heaven. Matthew 5:16 - Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.

Beloved, you and I are HIS creation. Seriously, why not choose today to live for your Creator and receive His peace.

I am by no means bragging, just sharing my confidence in The Lord! And how my choice has made me so free and able to live in Jesus’ peace! He left His peace for us - and as with the Gift of Salvation, it is free!

Seriously, why not choose peace?

Standing strong in the grip of His grace and His everlasting love,

The Lord Moves in Mysterious Ways?

The Lord absolutely does not move in mysterious ways to those that know Him!

The Lord is a mystery to those who do not know Him.

Those who do not study the scriptures and those who do not have an active prayer life can only believe The Lord moves in mysterious ways. Prayer is simply conversation with The Lord. Hence, if you do not regularly converse with Him, or converse with anyone for that matter, how do you actually know Him/them? The most you are going to know, is what you have heard about Him/them, and chances are what you are have heard is probably inaccurate.

The Lord sent His Son Jesus to reconcile mankind back to Himself. What Jesus did in coming to Earth to being a living sacrifice and by dying an innocent death, makes the adage ‘The Lord Moves in Mysterious Ways’ a contradiction to Jesus’ purpose.

From the scriptures we see The Lord made himself known to His people:

Psalm 103:7 - He made known His ways to Moses, His acts to the children of Israel.

Moses knew The Lord intimately. He knew The Lord’s very nature. But the scriptures go on on to tell us that the Children of Israel (the people) only knew The Lord’s actions.

Many people today, are the same as the Children of Israel in the scriptures; they say they are “Christians” but they don’t have a relationship with the Lord. They have heard of Him by attending church - but even that is an act of religion, not a relationship.

Church attendance is a means to “hear about” The Lord, and hope what you are hearing is scripturally correct, but it is far more fulfilling and edifying to have relationship with Him and know Him for yourself. The latter is HIS will for His creation.

How can you be sure what you are hearing in church is what Father wants to speak to you? We live in a real world, with real challenges which require a real relationship with our Creator. Church may be okay, but we all have a responsibility to know Him intimately.

Ponder this very serious question: How can you be sure you will have eternal life in Heaven with The Lord if you don’t know Him by way of prayer and knowing His Word?

Seriously, do you think anyone will open up their home to you to reside with them if they don’t know you? Would you?

Matthew 7:21-23 I Never Knew You:

21 “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. 22 Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’ 23 And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’

Many pastors and “preachers” today are not teaching the scriptures in their fullness or with accuracy for fear of offending and losing members and congregants.

Then there are those that are “preaching” to fulfill and satisfy their own lusts and their own needs. And sadly, more often than not, those lusts and needs are aimed toward sex and monetary wealth. Let me say this to those who are doing such: you better repent, because these are real souls that The Lord loves and He will not hold you guiltless for what you did to/with His souls.

Preaching false doctrines, performing marriages He did not tell you to perform and the marriage then ends in divorce, church heads molesting women and children: you will give an account!

Those of us called to the Five-Fold Ministry Gifts are accountable for the souls we are entrusted with and we are to never ever take souls lightly. In the Five-Fold ministry gifts, we must be in intimate relationship with the Father! There is no other option! These are souls, in other words, these are people’s lives.

This is not a time to guess His will because we think He moves in mysterious ways…

As a result when The Lord is moving in ways true to His nature, many say He is moving in mysterious ways. When nothing could be further from the truth. He is moving according to His Word and His promises to His Creation. Know and understand the scriptures.

Psalm 25:14 Amplified Bible

14 The secret [of the wise counsel] of the Lord is for those who fear Him,

And He will let them know His covenant and reveal to them [through His word] its [deep, inner] meaning.

My relationship with The Lord, who is my Heavenly Father, is such that He reveals not only Himself to me but His secrets as well. Think it not strange when The Lord acts within His nature by hearing and answering your prayers and speaking to you! Why then, are you surprised when He does?

Your relationship with The Lord is not mysterious, not weird, and certainly not spooky, because any relationship that is such, is not a relationship.

Remember we are spirit beings created in His image, we live in bodies that will return (decay/decompose) to the dust of the ground after we die, and we have a soul (mind, will, emotions, and intellect) which operates through our physical bodies.

It is our spirt that is created in His image and His likeness,

John 4:24 - God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.

Therefore, it is important not to allow our souls to “go rogue” and cause us to live outside the will of God.

Revelation 21:8 - But cowards, those who refuse to believe, who do evil things, who kill, who sin sexually, who do evil magic, who worship idols, and who tell lies—all these will have a place in the lake of burning sulfur. This is the second death.”

Would it make any type of sense to worship a mystery that moves in mysterious ways? Of course not.

Worship your Lord God with your life so that He is a vital relationship in your life, and not a mover of mysterious ways.

May The Lord Continuously Bless You and All that Concerns You,

In His Service,

Apostle & Prophetess Wendy Connor

Beware of Your Cultivation of Discord

Sometimes we can’t see ourselves the way The Lord sees us. The assumption is, we can’t see our virtues and we down play who we are. Even that is just a form of false humility. The scriptures tell us in Romans 12:3 - For by the grace given me I say to every one of you: Do not think of yourself more highly than you ought, but rather think of yourself with sober judgment, in accordance with the faith God has distributed to each of you.

In other words, The Lord has given us a measure of faith to carry out our purpose here on the earth. And that faith is designed to work in sync with the purposes of His people that He has assigned a measure of faith as well. Therefore, we need to stay grounded and sober in our thoughts concerning ourselves because it is The Lord who has gifted us for His purposes. But here is where His people become high-minded and think more highly of themselves than they ought: when they take their focus off The word of God and their will no longer aligns with the will of God. Pride subtly creeps in and suddenly that person has not taken their measure of faith and used it for the Kingdom of God, but using it for their own selfish gain. And again, next thing you know, you are thinking more highly of yourself then you ought. Everything is about you in your mind. The Lord shares His throne and His glory with no one. 1 Corinthians 1:29 - that no flesh should glory in His presence. 1 Corinthians 1:30 - that, as it is written, “He who glories, let him glory in the Lord.”
Please be warned, next thing you know, you have become everything Father God, our Creator, hates.

Proverbs 6:16-19 - These six things the LORD hates, Yes, seven are an abomination to Him:

A proud look,
A lying tongue,
Hands that shed innocent blood,
A heart that devises wicked plans,
Feet that are swift in running to evil,
A false witness who speaks lies,
And one who sows discord among brethren.

There is so much to be said about all seven in that verse of scripture , but Father is having this message to hone in specifically on number 7, “And one who sows discord among brethren. Because The Lord Hates number 7.

As saints, we should be open and honest enough to address any issue , and do so, in peace. For some reason, God’s people have too much pride to ask. No matter what it is. Whether that be to ask a question, or ask for help, or ask to have some of something that belongs to another (sharing).

Asking is a form, or act, of humility. Thus, when you cannot humble yourself and ask, you are operating in pride. Asking also prevents discord. Often times not asking leads to misunderstanding and misunderstanding leads to discord.

In case you don’t fully understand the definition of discord, let’s have a look:

Discord
lack of concord or harmony between persons or things: marital discord.

disagreement; difference of opinion.
strife; dispute; war.
Music.
an inharmonious combination of musical tones sounded together.
any confused or harsh noise; dissonance.

verb

to disagree; be at variance

It is important to never be afraid or intimidated in saying what needs to be said. More often than not, something as simple as communicating openly can destroy discord before it ever has a chance to begin.

I remember years ago, I was in my early 20’s, and I was out shopping with a friend. I was sharing with that friend a personal situation that was causing great conflict. When a friend of the friend I was confiding in assumed I was talking about them! That person proceeded to tell the mutual friend that they didn’t appreciate me talking about them and that if I have something to say to about them I should say it directly to them. And I wholeheartedly agreed, but I was not speaking of them. The friend I was speaking to assumed what they had said was true and proceeded to scold me about having talked about that friend of theirs. I was so flabbergasted, all I could do was ask that friend what they were talking about, to which the friend continued on my case about having talked about this friend to theirs . Talk about misunderstanding! And though I tried addressing it by getting to the bottom of it, pride in the person, influenced by the adversary, had already done the damage and they were so caught in their emotions, they were unwilling to talk about it peacefully and rationally.

The adversary will work through someone that has weak faith and great pride and cause discord which stirs up strife. Nothing said convinced my “friend” that what their friend was saying was a bona fied lie. They overheard me speaking to someone about something that was none of their business and they assumed it was about them and instead of just coming to me in the moment, and inquiring if their eavesdropping and being in business that was not their own, was heard correctly and was about them, they decided to go to the mutual “friend” and proceed to make it clear that they didn’t appreciate me speaking about them and causing the friend to jump on her bandwagon of discord towards me. Nothing about that is fair or justified, and The Lord hates it! Saints, be careful what you are willing to let in your soul and spirit with only one version that does not include all parties involved, The Lord God will not hold you guiltless.

The Bible says in Ephesians 6:12 -

For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.

If you knew and understood this scripture, you would not allow yourself to be the cause of misunderstanding and/or discord. And you certainly wouldn’t do the evil of planting seeds of discord with intent of them growing into strife among God’s people

Notwithstanding, there are those that actually love gossip and murmuring. Unto those of you that are the gossiper (speaking and spreading truthful and untruthful information about another person or at the very least, business that is not your own) The Lord hates it, and you can be certain you did not get away with it . And if your target is The Lord’s anointed, or His prophets - beloved you just about just dug your own grave.

If we say we love The Lord, we will keep His commandments and we certainly do not allow our tongues nor our mouths to be used as instruments of unrighteousness! Do not think that going to church and praying over you food has made you saved and righteous; but yet you can talk of others “behind their back” and sow discord among God’s people and among the family. With the judgement that comes upon your life from The One who sits on The Throne, is it really worth it?

Church attendance, a few “good deeds”, and saying “grace” over your food is not a free pass to salvation nor to eternal life. Your salvation is purposeful and intentional. Which is why Matthew 7:13-15 tells us far more have eternal death (Hell) than have eternal life (Heaven).

Remember Beloved, The Lord heard you, He hears your heart, and every word spoken from you mouth. Why not use your mouth to stop the adversary from making misunderstandings become discord.

Expose the lies of the enemy by not being afraid to say what needs to be said in love and in peace, to those it needs to be said to!

Be willing, unafraid and unashamed to ask, address, and expose the works of the enemy.

In the grip of His grace and with His Everlasting Love I salute you with a Holy Kiss.

In Jesus Name and Jesus in Jesus Love,

If

“If you [really] love Me, you will keep and obey My commandments.” [John 14:15 Amplified Bible]

That’s what Jesus said. It is a verse of scripture quoted by many, but it is not really understood by those that have memorized that scripture and can quote it. Many think: “I must obey the Ten Commandments, and in doing so, that means I love Jesus.” Well, Beloved, you know if you are reading this, you are going to be taught on a deeper level. Allow our Heavenly Father to demonstrate, through scripture, why there is a much deeper understanding of that scripture to be had.

Jesus said in John 14:15 as we just read, that if you love me, you will keep My commandments. Most place the emphasis on keeping His commandments - and yes, of course, we will do well to make every effort to keep His commandments, or at the very least to keep His commandments and to do so without excuse. But there is much more.

The emphasis in John 14:15 should moreso be on the words love and will. Here is the reason why: the word love in John 14:15 is the Greek word Agapaō. Agapaō means to be fond of, to love dearly and to be well pleased, to be contented at or with a thing. It is a love that is without ifs.

So let’s understand the word love from the Biblical standpoint. There are two main types of love in the Bible we will look at in this message:

Agapaō: this is an unconditional, unselfish love that thinks only of others and not of one’s self. In fact, Agapaō is love that gives. It motivates us to give of ourselves unselfishly. The Biblical example of Agape love is found in John 3:16 -For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son. The Lord Agapaō [loved - affectionately fond of us and loves us dearly] us so much that He did not want us to die and go to Sheol [Hell]. So He gave of Himself, His Son, to endure hardness and shame, and be crucified to die for us so that we could live abundantly on earth, and most importantly have eternal life and not go to Sheol if we choose. Heaven and Hell, are real and are very much a choice. STUDY THE SCRIPTURES PEOPLE!
Phileō: Is a friendship love. Its Greek translation means to approve of, to like, befriend. Its a love with boundaries and limits, but nevertheless, still it is love. You need to see this in the scriptures, to help you understand Phileō love as it compares to agape love: John 21:15-17 When they had finished eating, Jesus said to Simon Peter, “Simon son of John, do you love me more than these?” “Yes, Lord,” he said, “you know that I love you.” Jesus said, “Feed my lambs ” 16 Again Jesus said, “Simon son of John, do you love me?” He answered, “Yes, Lord, you know that I love you.” Jesus said, “Take care of my sheep.” 17 The third time he said to him, “Simon son of John, do you love me?” Peter was hurt because Jesus asked him the third time, “Do you love me?” He said, “Lord, you know all things; you know that I love you.” Jesus said, “Feed my sheep. So let’s look at those scriptures again, but with its Greek translations in the appropriate place of the word love: John 21:15-17 When they had finished eating, Jesus said to Simon Peter, “Simon son of John, do you agapaō [love Me to the point of affectionately fond of Me and love Me dearly] me more than these?” “Yes, Lord,” he said, “you know (Greek word eidō which means ascertain or perceive) that I phileō [approve of you in a friend like way] you.” Jesus said, “Feed Feed (greek word boskō which means to feed by portraying the duty of a Christian teacher to promote in every way the spiritual welfare of the members of the church) my lambs (arnion which means a little lamb, a lamb used of Christ, innocently suffering and dying to expiate the sins of men).” 16 Again Jesus said, “Simon son of John, do you agapaō [love Me to the point of being affectionately fond of Me and love Me dearly] me?” He answered, “Yes, Lord, you know that I phileo [approve of you in a friend like way] you.” Jesus said, “Take care of my sheep [probaton - any four footed, tame animal accustomed to graze, small cattle (opp. to large cattle, horses, etc.), most commonly a sheep or a goat, or literally a sheep ].” 17 The third time he said to him, “Simon son of John, do you phileō [approve of Me in a friend like way] me?” Peter was hurt because Jesus asked him the third time, “Do you phileō me?” He said, “Lord, you know all things; you know that I phileō[approve of you in a friend like way] you.” Jesus said, “Feed my sheep[probaton - any four footed, tame animal accustomed to graze, small cattle (opp. to large cattle, horses, etc.), most commonly a sheep or a goat, or literally a sheep ]

Did you catch the dynamic in the Greek translation? Jesus began with asking Simon Peter, does he agapaō [love Me dearly and affectionately without conditions] Him to which Simon Peter responded yes Lord, I phileō [approve of you in a friendly way]. Being that they were dialoging about their relationship on different levels, Jesus asked Simon Peter again, does he agapaō [love Him dearly and affectionately without conditions] enough to feed His Sheep, and once again Simon Peter responded with, he phileō [approve of you in a friendly way] Jesus. This in turn led to Jesus asking Simon Peter a third time, but coming down to Simon Peter’s level of love and commitment to feeding His Sheep. It is at this point that Simon Peter realizes that Jesus reduced His level of expectation of Simon Peter from feeding His Lambs (the Church-the Body of Christ) to feeding His literal animal sheep by using Simon Peter’s term phileō [approve of you in a friendly way] and Simon Peter was grieved, which in the Greek translates to the Word lypeō which means to affect with sadness, cause grief, to throw into sorrow because it was at that point that Simon Peter had the revelation that his commitment towards feeding Jesus’ sheep was not with his whole heart and he most assuredly was NOT committed to the High Calling of Christ Jesus (Phillipians 4:13).

So a bit of “back” story. The verses preceding John 21:15-17 begin at verse one of Chapter 21. Jesus had already been crucified. Therefore, Chapter 21 is one of the several times Jesus revealed Himself after His crucifixion. Five of His disciples (including Simon Peter) were out to sea fishing for their meal. They had been fishing all night and caught nothing. And come morning, as they returned back to land, Jesus was standing on the shore and asked them (already knowing the answer) did they have any food and they replied no. Then Jesus said to them to pitch their nets again, but this time on the right side of the boat and they will catch some fish. In doing so, they caught so much fish that their catch exceeded the weight capacity of both their net and their boat. This made them unable to draw the net up because it was too heavy. In verse 12 after one of the disciples, whom the scriptures say that Jesus agapaō’ loved, said to Simon Peter that the man standing on shore is The Lord Jesus. Simon Peter was so overwhelmed with joy that it was his Lord Jesus, he put on his outer garment and jumped out of the boat, and swam to shore! He was happy! The other four came in the little boat dragging the net. Jesus had already had the fire of coals going there with fish and bread laying on the fire. Jesus took the bread and gave it to them, as well as gave them some fish. (Just a side note: that was amusing is that in verse 12 after all of this conversation they were having with the Lord Jesus they knew it was Him, but they were afraid to ask Him, “Who are you"?” Perhaps that tickled you as much as it did me! Just imagine you see a Jesus after you watched His crucifixion, death, and burial, and now you are having a whole conversation and breakfast with what you know to be a “ghost”!) Anyhow, after they ate breakfast, is where verse 15 picks up and Jesus starts the conversation with Simon Peter, asking him does he love Jesus more than these matters of fishing and eating.

You see beloved, when Biblical love in the original Greek translations, is understood, then you understand that love is not a feeling, that feeling love or romantic (erotic) love which is called āhaḇ in the original Hebrew translation and can be found in the Song of Solomon chapter 1. That is not the love of this message.

It cannot be said enough that if we Agapaō love Him we will keep His commandments. Simply stated: we will do God’s will, God’s way. So many choose the path that leads to destruction, and now are spending their days outside the will of God because they cannot focus on callings and their purpose, they are spending all their time praying about the choices and decisions that were their will and not His will, nor His way. Henceforth, you cannot keep His commandments, because like Simon Peter you love “these things” more than you love Him and His Sheep. After all, your pride has to stand down when keeping His commandments, and some just cannot do anything that does not involve they themselves in the spotlight of their own will.

Biblical love is a choice. An act of our will. And to fulfill our callings and our purpose, it is important to choose the will of God and the Agapaō love of God because it is then, and only then, can we truly say we love Him and therefore are willing to keep His commandments.

Stay Blessed in His Everlasting Love,

Prepare!

I had a night vision (more than a dream, while my body was sleeping, my spirit was very much alert) that shook me to my core.

I saw persons I knew and knew very well, as well as persons I knew not.

Nevertheless, I saw what their lives and their lifestyles looked like in the spirit realm. These were people who profess to know and accept Christ, and yet they were void of Holy Spirit.

Their language was perverse,

they lusted after material things,

their pride in themselves and their material possessions was most important to them,

and they sought power through their material possessions, arrogance, and pride.

Many so-called People of God are wicked and evil in the sight of our Lord. They seek to control and dominate others through subtle means. They walk in a humility that is false and is really pride in disguise.

Hebrews 12 is about to sweep the land. Those that have been faithful to His Word and His will, get in and stay in the Ark of Safety (spiritual place) and come out from among the world - and be NOT deceived those you thought were righteous, will be shaken and exposed.

Hebrews 12:27-29

27 Now this, “Yet once more,” indicates the removal of those things that are being shaken, as of things that are made, that the things which cannot be shaken may remain.

28 Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom which cannot be shaken, let us have grace, by which we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear. 29 For our God is a consuming fire.

Those that have been faithful to His Word and His will, get in and stay in the Ark of Safety (spiritual place) and come out from among the world - and be NOT deceived those you thought were righteous, will be shaken and exposed. Psalm 20:7 -Some trust in chariots and some in horses, but we trust in the name of the Lord our God.

“Just a little fine tuning still yet to be done….”

Prepare!

It is harvest time.

Each harvest will look differently as it is according to seeds sown .

For some, it will be jubilant for Father is saying “Well done thy good and faithful servant, you have been trusted with little, and now I am rewarding you with much!”

For many it is Numbers 32:23 “But if you fail to do this, you will be sinning against the LORD; and you may be sure that your sin will find you out.”

For those that have fallen short over the years in their thoughts and actions and therefore, have missed the mark, repent and go and sin no more. You will reap your seeds sown, but allow this season to be a reminder that God is not mocked, you will receive a return on your investment. Sow to your spirit, not to your flesh.

Death is eminent.

To God be ALL the Glory, Honor, Power, and Praise!

Intentional and Purposeful

Lets say we are planning to all meet in Lebanon, KS. For the purpose of this blog, I chose Lebanon, KS because it is said to be 2.6 miles northwest of the center of the contiguous United States. Therefore, it is just an otherwise random geographical location. Anyhow, lets say you, the readers of this blog post, and myself are planning to join one another on a specific date in Lebanon, KS.

Now, how we all get there will vary. Our destination will be the same, but our travel is what will differ. For example, I reside in the Southeast corner of the United States, so it stands to reason at some point I will be traveling North and slightly West. But another may be traveling from the state of Washington, in which case the likely route would be to head East and Southbound. And those from New Mexico are heading North.

Now, some may choose to drive, take a flight, board a train, or even ride a bike to travel to Lebanon, KS. You get the point.

Further, depending on the travel plans as well as the mode of transportation, the journey will be longer for some than for others. But, we will all arrive in Lebanon, KS , on time and as planned, if we follow the directions, and intentionally make Lebanon, KS our focus and our intention. The purpose is to get to Lebanon, KS to meet and gather.

The message is clear: here on Earth we have a purpose for why we are here. The problem lies in how we achieve our purpose. As saints, we needn’t look at someone else’s mode and method of travel on their journey, it only serves as a means to covet and distract from what your journey is.

We are here. We have a gift, or gifts according to God’s purpose for our lives. Our gifts are intentional according to our calling which is our purpose. Father did not make a mistake in our purpose. It is intentional. (So there goes the whole, you-were-born-in-the-wrong-body argument that the adversary uses to deceive people into believing homosexuality is okay, because The Lord made a mistake. Yes, we love the sinner but hate the sin! We are all sinners, just those of us that have accepted Christ are sinners saved by His Grace!)

Psalm 139:13-18 - 13 You made my whole being; you formed me in my mother’s body. 14 I praise you because you made me in an amazing and wonderful way. What you have done is wonderful. I know this very well. 15 You saw my bones being formed as I took shape in my mother’s body. When I was put together there, 16 you saw my body as it was formed. All the days planned for me were written in your book before I was one day old. 17 God, your thoughts are precious to me. They are so many! 18 If I could count them, they would be more than all the grains of sand. When I wake up, I am still with you.

In the Book of Jeremiah, Chapter 1, verse 5: “Before I made you in your mother’s womb, I chose you. Before you were born, I set you apart for a special work. I appointed you as a prophet to the nations.”

Ephesians 2:10 - For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.

Jeremiah the prophet was called. The Lord let him know, ‘I intentionally and purposefully created you and made you to be My prophet. This is the reason you were created.’

And just as He has let Jeremiah know his purpose and His calling, He has let us know as well, that is for those that have chosen to accept His gift of salvation.

Acts 13:36 - 36 “Now when David had served God’s purpose in his own generation, he fell asleep; he was buried with his ancestors and his body decayed.

Beloved, it is important to understand, once you have fulfilled The Lord’s purpose for your life, then can you leave this earth (that is to die) and return to eternity. Understanding, that many die before their time, having not ever fulfilled God’s purpose for their life on this Earth and equally, many have long life and still do not fulfill God’s purpose for their life. It is assured that in either case, you will have lived and died in vain and not have eternal life.

Acts 2:23 - 23 This man was handed over to you by God’s deliberate [intentional] plan and foreknowledge; and you, with the help of wicked men, put him to death by nailing him to the cross.

Jesus’ purpose on this Earth was to die. However, those that crucified Him were not held guiltless. The Lord’s purpose was carried out, but there was a judgment against those that carried out The Lord’s purpose. (This is a heavy teaching for another time).

Jeremiah 29:11 - 11 For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.

Job 42:1-3 - Then Job replied to the Lord: 2 “I know that you can do all things; no purpose of yours can be thwarted. 3 You asked, ‘Who is this that obscures my plans without knowledge?’ Surely I spoke of things I did not understand, things too wonderful for me to know.

Proverbs 20:5 -The purposes of a person’s heart are deep waters, but one who has insight draws them out.

More often then not, Saints (people of God) guess at what their purpose is, and even the more, they are incorrect at what they guess.

And so what we have is a bunch of mixed-up and confused people of God, because they don’t understand long before they were on this earth, long before they were in the womb, and most certainly before they accepted Christ and received their salvation, that they were intentionally created with a specific purpose in the spirit realm!

And that purpose is between you and your Heavenly Father. He may send His true servant, such as an Apostle, or a Prophet, a true Pastor, or His Evangelist, etc. to 'speak into you’ your gift and/or your calling so that you will know your purpose; thereafter it is up to you to seek His face and be taught, trained, and equipped in your gift and your calling to fulfill your purpose.

Please do not look at someone else’s purpose, or how they carryout their purpose, because surely that is their purpose and their gifting, they are equipped for their purpose.

And how do you even know if they are fulfilling their purpose? You may be walking in a ‘copycat spirit’ of someone who isn’t even fulfilling their purpose.

If you don’t know what your purpose is, why would you trust that following or copying someone else’s purpose is God’s plan and purpose for you?

How can you be certain that they are even fulfilling the purpose The Lord has for them?

Does that make natural sense?

Is that even wisdom from above?

The only way to truly know your purpose is to come out from among the world and spend time in His presence. Get to know your Heavenly Father, The One True Living God for yourself. And stop trying to be like the world - the children of darkness. You can’t play saved, then talk, walk, and act like the world.

Romans 8:28 - And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, who; or that in all things God works together with those who love him to bring about what is good—with those who have been called according to his purpose.

Many of you reading this, have chased wealth, popularity, material things, etc. only to find that you lack peace. And you will never have that peace that passes all understanding until you live in God’s purpose for your life.

Our Creator is intentional and purposeful, why not take up your cross and follow Him and learn of His purpose for your life?

In Jesus Christ Love,

Excuses Don’t Excuse You

When it is time to address our shortcomings, there are the seasoned mature saints that confess their faults, ask forgiveness, repent and move forward with the intent to go and sin no more. While there are those that before they can even allow their shortcomings to be addressed, they immediately go into an excuse mode. Before it is even out of the mouth, they are already making excuses.

If you are identifying with this because you are one to make a lot of excuses, please do not get into condemnation. For we all have sinned and fallen short of God’s glory.

If you are in Christ Jesus Beloved, you have been made free from the bondages of sin and death. But you must be in Christ Jesus (accepted Christ as your Lord and Savior and living by your spirit which is made in the image and likeness of The Godhead), that is to say not being driven by your flesh (earthly sinful desires).

Romans 8:1-8

8 Therefore there is now no condemnation [no guilty verdict, no punishment] for those who are in Christ Jesus [who believe in Him as personal Lord and Savior].

2 For the law of the Spirit of life [which is] in Christ Jesus [the law of our new being] has set you free from the law of sin and of death.

3 For what the Law could not do [that is, overcome sin and remove its penalty, its power] being weakened by the flesh [man’s nature without the Holy Spirit], God did: He sent His own Son in the likeness of sinful man as an offering for sin. And He condemned sin in the flesh [subdued it and overcame it in the person of His own Son],

4 so that the [righteous and just] requirement of the Law might be fulfilled in us who do not live our lives in the ways of the flesh [guided by worldliness and our sinful nature], but [live our lives] in the ways of the Spirit [guided by His power].

5 For those who are living according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh [which gratify the body], but those who are living according to the Spirit, [set their minds on] the things of the Spirit [His will and purpose].

6 Now the mind of the flesh is death [both now and forever—because it pursues sin]; but the mind of the Spirit is life and peace [the spiritual well-being that comes from walking with God—both now and forever];

7 the mind of the flesh [with its sinful pursuits] is actively hostile to God. It does not submit itself to God’s law, since it cannot,

8 and those who are in the flesh [living a life that caters to sinful appetites and impulses] cannot please God.

Christ Jesus came to set the captives free. That’s you and I. We were bound to sin and death and destined to eternal death in Sheol (Hell). And Christ came down from Eternity (Heaven) and saved us all by shedding His innocent and sinless blood on our behalf. And once He did so, we were no longer our own but bought with that hefty price He paid for us on The Cross. So please do not “undo” what Jesus did for you and me by getting into condemnation and not being able to forgive yourself - and certainly do not allow someone else to condemn you. No one other than The Lord God Almighty can kill the body and the soul and grant us eternal life or cast our soul into damnation. So please, separate yourself from those that would speak condemnation over or into your life. They don’t have that spiritual authority.

And because we are no longer our own, though we are not bound by the Law (of the Old Testament), we are required and held to a more excellent way. And Father by His Holy Spirit will convict us, (not condemn us) when we are out of His will.

John 16:7-8

7 Nevertheless I tell you the truth. It is to your advantage that I go away; for if I do not go away, the Helper [Holy Spirit] will not come to you; but if I depart, I will send Him to you. 8 And when He [Holy Spirit] has come, He will convict the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:

Remember, this is between you and The Lord God. It’s a private and personal matter when we do our business with The Lord God. A priest nor a pastor is not necessary and certainly not required. In fact, only The Lord God can forgive our sins, so confessing them to a priest is just simply not scriptural. That same priest or pastor is but a mere man or woman that needed the Blood of Jesus to cover their sins as well. They can’t forgive you of your sins.

James 5:16 - Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.

1 John 1:9 - If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

In 1 John 1:9, that word sin is not the same as the word faults in James 5:16. Although in some translations both read as the word sin. Nonetheless, they are different Greek words. 1 John 1:9 - speaks more as to miss or wander from the path of uprightness and honor, to do or go wrong concerning the divine law of God. It means to miss the mark, the standard set by The Lord God in His Holy Scriptures. And of course to that we need His forgiveness. Not a man or woman on earth can pardon sin that will save the soul. James 5:16 speaks more akin to acknowledging and admitting sin.

So that it is not confusing, an example of 1 John 1:9 would be if you are an adulterer (married person having sex with someone they are not married to) or you are homosexual (men having sex with men or women having sex with women) the scriptures are clear both are sins that will cause you to have eternal death (Sheol which is Hell). Those sins require Father’s (The Lord God) forgiveness. Whereas, James 5:16 is where you may speak to your brother or sister in Christ Jesus and say, “Hey brother (or sister), I am struggling with something and really need prayer. Can you keep me in your prayers?” Now, a few things to remember:

1. Do not go to the person(s) you know to be a gossiper for prayer. They are not going to pray for you; they are going to immediately call or text someone and start telling your business (Gossip). And they will pretend that “they are sharing so that you too can pray for the one in need of prayer”. Liars!

2. When you ask for prayer from true apostles, true prophets, true worshippers, true intercessors, true pastors, and/or true saints they will not ask you the specifics because they know Father knows your name and who you are. They genuinely move in a supernatural spiritual gift that does not seek to delve into specifics because of itching ears for salacious stories and information.

3. You...yes YOU, can pray and ask The Lord God yourself for what you need. He can hear you, even if you cannot recognize or hear His voice, and He hears you and sees you. We are His creation; there is not a place in Heaven nor on earth that He is not with us. And as a sidenote, those of you who love to gossip and run your mouth, until Father shuts it…and He will, He heard you and He saw you. You may think you got away with it because everyone believed your story, but you did not. You will reap what you sow. Trust and believe that sow and reap works for both the positive and the negative, as well as the good and the bad.

Here are three bible translations so that you can understand the Law of Sow and Reap. Galatians 6:7 NKJV Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap. Galatians 6:7 AMP - Do not be deceived, God is not mocked [He will not allow Himself to be ridiculed, nor treated with contempt nor allow His precepts to be scornfully set aside]; for whatever a man sows, this and this only is what he will reap. Galatians 6:7-8 Message - 7-8 Don’t be misled: No one makes a fool of God. What a person plants, he will harvest. The person who plants selfishness, ignoring the needs of others—ignoring God!—harvests a crop of weeds. All he’ll have to show for his life is weeds! But the one who plants in response to God, letting God’s Spirit do the growth work in him, harvests a crop of real life, eternal life.

These blog posts don’t come from me “choosing” a topic. Father (The Lord God) guides me on the message for He has for His people.

As a Didactic (instructive teacher) Prophetess with a scribal anointing, it is for me to hear Him and write His will for His people. I am merely a messenger. And whether or not you believe, that is irrelevant. Earlier this week, He began imparting to me a message about excuses. Far too many people called by His name are not being accountable and are making excuses. Simply put, it means you are excusing yourself from your faults. And when you do that, it causes a tendency to continue in your faults, as well as adding new faults and making more excuses, and therefore, excusing all of it.

Beloved, you cannot have eternal life (Heaven) if you keep making excuses. The scriptures are clear - if you would only take the time to read and study them. You would know and understand, that you cannot make your own rules and live your own way and actually be saved. This is why you are very much deceived if you believe that all you must do is accept Christ as your Lord and Savior and pray the prayer of salvation. It is so much more than that! We must live a Holy life:

1 Peter 1:15-17 15 but as He who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct, 16 because it is written, “Be holy, for I am holy.”

17 And if you call on the Father, who without partiality judges according to each one’s work, conduct yourselves throughout the time of your stay here [here on Earth] in fear;

We all would do well to stop with the excuses. Because we are not excused from our faults, our sins, nor our shortcomings. Sin is sin! And we are all in need of the Saviour Jesus Christ! The adversary (Satan - the devil) has deceived you if you think you are exempt and can excuse away your faults, sins, and your shortcomings. Everyone can see you, but you. And Beloved, here is the sad thing: you will stay in your faults, sins, and your shortcomings while also staying out of the will of God and ultimately not having eternal life (Heaven). And as always, please don’t just take my word only, read and study the scriptures for yourself. You will soon see so much that you didn’t know nor understand, you will deepen your personal relationship with Father (The Lord God), and you will come to understand that it is because He loves us, that He chastens us.

Hebrews 12:6-11 - 6 For the Lord disciplines and corrects those whom He loves,

And He punishes every son whom He receives and welcomes [to His heart].”

7 You must submit to [correction for the purpose of] discipline; God is dealing with you as with sons; for what son is there whom his father does not discipline?

8 Now if you are exempt from correction and without discipline, in which all [of God’s children] share, then you are illegitimate children and not sons [at all].

9 Moreover, we have had earthly fathers who disciplined us, and we submitted and respected them [for training us]; shall we not much more willingly submit to the Father of spirits, and live [by learning from His discipline]?

10 For our earthly fathers disciplined us for only a short time as seemed best to them; but He disciplines us for our good, so that we may share His holiness.

11 For the time being no discipline brings joy, but seems sad and painful; yet to those who have been trained by it, afterwards it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness [right standing with God and a lifestyle and attitude that seeks conformity to God’s will and purpose].

In closing, let’s look to scripture at those who chose the way of excuses, and how utterly foolish they were:

Adam: Genesis 3:11-12 - 11 And He said, “Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten from the tree of which I commanded you that you should not eat?” 12 Then the man said, “The woman whom You gave to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I ate.” Adam’s excuse for his sin was that it was God’s fault because The Lord God gave the woman to him. In other words, “I was doing just fine until you, Lord, gave me this woman.” Adam literally blamed The Lord God Almighty!

By the way, excuse and blame are first cousins and they are very close; usually, you don’t hear about one without the other!

Moses - Exodus 4-10-14 - Exodus 4:10-14 - 10 Then Moses said to the Lord, “Please, Lord, I am not a man of words (eloquent, fluent), neither before nor since You have spoken to Your servant; for I am slow of speech and tongue.” 11 The Lord said to him, “Who has made man’s mouth? Or who makes the mute or the deaf, or the seeing or the blind? Is it not I, the Lord? 12 Now then go, and I, even I, will be with your mouth, and will teach you what you shall say.” 13 But he said, “Please my Lord, send the message [of rescue to Israel] by [someone else,] whomever else You will [choose].” 14 Then the anger of the Lord was kindled and burned against Moses;” In making excuses, it is more than our fellow brother or sister who is tired and angered by your constant excuses. Most importantly, it is The Lord God our Creator who is angered when we make excuses to His instruction! Do you not know that It is a fearful and terrifying thing to fall into the hands of the living God [incurring His judgment and wrath]. Hebrews 10:31

Jesus summarizes in a parable the ultimate end result to making excuses - Luke 14:16-35 - 16 But Jesus said to him, “A man was giving a big dinner, and he invited many guests; 17 and at the dinner hour he sent his servant to tell those who had been invited, ‘Come, because everything is ready now.’ 18 But they all alike began to make excuses. The first one said to him, ‘I have purchased a piece of land and I have to go out and see it; please consider me excused.’ 19 Another one said, ‘I have purchased five yoke of oxen, and I am going to try them out; please consider me excused.’ 20 And another said, ‘I have [recently] married a wife, and for that reason I am unable to come.’ 21 So the servant came back and reported this to his master. Then [his master,] the head of the household, became angry [at the rejections of his invitation] and said to his servant, ‘Go out quickly into the streets and the lanes of the city and bring in here the poor and the disabled and the blind and the lame.’ 22 And the servant [after returning] said, ‘Sir, what you commanded has been done, and still there is room.’ 23 Then the master told the servant, ‘Go out into the highways and along the hedges, and compel them to come in, so that my house may be filled [with guests]. 24 For I tell you, not one of those who were invited [and declined] will taste my dinner.’”

It is best to face your faults, your sins, and your shortcomings. It becomes very easy to make a habit of making excuses. Even if no one else believes your excuses, you will believe them and convince yourself - and even try to drum up support - in your excuses that are riddled with blame, and more often than not lies, or at the very least, misrepresentation of the truth.

As His own, we are to live a more excellent way. Please do not call yourself a Christian or a saint when you are living contrary to the scriptures. The Church has done a poor job of representing Christ. The excuses alone, that are given such as “Oh…God is working on me” or “don’t judge me, you don’t know my heart” , or a favorite “God will forgive me…He knows my heart”.

Beloved, Matthew 7:17 tells us Even so, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. Your deeds, your words, and your actions speak to who you are. When we allow our bodies to be a temple of Holy Sprit we strive to bear righteousness and holiness and when we fall short we are able to confess our sins to Father and He is faithful to forgive us. But when we live by our flesh, it is really easy to make excuses and fall short. And none of us can fool The Lord God! We live outside of His will and we live unforgiven until we acknowledge and accept that we have fallen short.

It is important to remember the scriptures are our instructions for living a life pleasing to The Lord God Almighty. Many have made the word Bible into an acronym: Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth. Like it or love it, one must admit is a very wise reminder that the Bible is The Creator’s instruction to His creation.

If making excuses is how you have made yourself feel comfortable with who you are and what you do, then have at it. But be forewarned, we ALL have to work out our own salvation with fear and trembling. (Philippians 2:12)

It is my prayer that you hear and feel Holy Spirit’s conviction upon you as you repent and turn away from making excuses and move toward a life that is pleasing to Him so that you may not die in your sins:

John 8:24 - Therefore I said to you that you will die in your sins; for if you do not believe that I am He, you will die in your sins.”

And when you say that you are a Christian or Saint of God, that you will be recognized by Him as such:

Matthew 7:21-23 - 21 “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of My Father who is in heaven. 22 Many will say to Me on that day [when I judge them], ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, and driven out demons in Your name, and done many miracles in Your name?’ 23 And then I will declare to them publicly, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me [you are banished from My presence], you who act wickedly [disregarding My commands].’

Hebrews 3:15 NKJV- while it is said: “Today, if you will hear His voice, Do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion.”

Hebrews 3:15 AMP- Then while it is [still] called Today, if you would hear His voice and when you hear it, do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion [in the desert, when the people provoked and irritated and embittered God against them].

May The Lord Bless you and Keep you and make His face to shine upon you.

Entitlement is a Mentality, Not an Actuality!

For some of us, The Word of God is the very essence of our being. Our understanding of Jesus Christ and His sacrifice on our behalf is clearly understood as a debt that we can never ever fully repay; but we can honor His gift of salvation to us with our lives and how we live, and if we obey the scriptures, this demonstrates our sincere gratitude for His sacrificial gift of salvation.

Herein lies the problem: many can’t get past themselves! The mind and/or the mouth is causing so many to perish. Everything, and I do mean everything, is about them(you)! Even when it is NOT about them(you). You know the ones, even fellowshipping together turns into a “what about me” scenario. This description may be you or you know someone like this. You can’t even go to church and experience The Presence of Holy Spirit because someone offended you by sitting in “your seat”, or it was your turn to do the announcements but someone else was selected to do them. Its always something with them.

Or perhaps you and your friends or your family get together and here comes the complaining, the whining, and/or the gossiping that just diminishes the joy in getting together in the first place and sours the entire time spent. Its the same old rigamarole, the topic of them (or perhaps you are the one) dominating the conversations. Their problems, their complaining, their whining over and over and over and over. It gets old fast because it is the same time and time again.

Rest assured, 0these blogs are talking to the Church, those that are called by His name, The Body of Christ. It gets a bit tiresome to have to speak to you as babes and not as mature believers, however, my calling and my gifting requires obedience to my Heavenly Father.

If you are reading this, stop a moment, just pause…and do an introspection. This is between you and God.

How many times in a day do you say “I”? Count and see just how many times you begin a sentence with “I”. That one letter directs inward towards you.
In a group environment, are you content with how things are? Meaning, do you have to have this or that your way every time? Do you have to make it know when you do not like the way something is set up or being executed? Or how about your nose is up there because you wouldn’t have done it this way? Notwithstanding, ungodly or spiritually unclean environments that you shouldn’t have been in in the first place or your discernment picks up something is not spirally copacetic and you know you need to grab your grace and run! This message is not that to be clear.

If you honestly realized you start a lot of sentences with “I” or answered yes to the questions in #2, you have an entitlement mentality. And guess what Beloved, that is pride. And you already know, THAT spirit (pride) is not of Holy Spirit and you can rest assured, you will not have eternal life with that mindset nor that spirit dominating your life.

You can trust and believe that entitlement is a distortion of reality and therefore nothing more than a mentality! Holding on to that which you need to let go is dangerous. Jesus died for all of mankind, you (as well as all of us) are in that number, so there is no reason for you to think more highly of yourself than you ought.

Romans 12:3 - For by the grace [of God] given to me I say to everyone of you not to think more highly of himself [and of his importance and ability] than he ought to think; but to think so as to have sound judgment, as God has apportioned to each a degree of faith [and a purpose designed for service].

King David, mind you we are talking about a king, said: For a day in Your courts is better than a thousand [anywhere else]; I would rather stand [as a doorkeeper] at the threshold of the house of my God Than to live [at ease] in the tents of wickedness. Psalm 84:10. King David was merely making it clear that although he was a king, and was bestowed with great authority to rule and possess wealth unimaginable, he would rather be a mere doorkeeper at the House of God, than to live comfortably in his sin and out of his flesh. He was grounded in humility when he understood the revelation of who God is and that Sheol (Hell) is real.

Beloved, it can be said many times over and over, and it is said many times over and over in this ministry, far fewer make it into Heaven and have eternal life than those that land in Sheol (Hell) and have eternal death. Here it is in scripture:

Matthew 7:13-15 - 13 “Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. 14 Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it.

You are deceived if you believe you can be on this earth with an air of entitlement (which is pride) and make it in. Meaning have eternal life. You confessed Jesus as your Lord and Savior and yet walk around as if you are entitled to be better than another person God created?

My apologies Beloved, but what did you create?

Did you breathe the Breath of Life into anything?
Can you make the sun stay in the sky?
Can you hold the earth in the exosphere and it not fall?

And yet you have pride and an air of entitlement. What that says is that you do not have a revelation of your Creator nor do you have the revelation to know to fear God.

Proverbs 9:10 - “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, And the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.

You can say you fear Him, but your life demonstrates otherwise. Beloved, does it really matter if you are last on the list? If it is Father’s list, say… the Book of The Lamb, be thankful and make merry that you are on His list period! In the grander scheme of things, does it really matter what material things you have or do not have? Because, you entered this world with nothing and surely you shall leave with nothing. The Egyptians that had their wealth buried with them in their pyramid tombs are either on display as relics and historical artifacts or they were stolen by tomb raiders, but they remained here on Earth! And that which you felt you needed or had to have, now that you have acquired it, you still have no peace and have left a trail of broken and shattered relationships because your mindset of entitlement destroyed it all.

Remember this: Pride is a destroyer. Entitlement is a character trait of the spirit of Pride. Therefore, destruction is upon you because of your believing you are entitled.

Proverbs 16:18 - Pride goes before destruction, And a haughty spirit before a fall.

Take a look at what a mentality of entitlement looks like in the scriptures:

2 Kings 5:1-14 Now Naaman was commander of the army of the king of Aram. He was a great man in the sight of his master and highly regarded, because through him the Lord had given victory to Aram. He was a valiant soldier, but he had leprosy.

2 Now bands of raiders from Aram had gone out and had taken captive a young girl from Israel, and she served Naaman’s wife. 3 She said to her mistress, “If only my master would see the prophet who is in Samaria! He would cure him of his leprosy.”

4 Naaman went to his master and told him what the girl from Israel had said. 5 “By all means, go,” the king of Aram replied. “I will send a letter to the king of Israel.” So Naaman left, taking with him ten talents of silver, six thousand shekels of gold and ten sets of clothing. 6 The letter that he took to the king of Israel read: “With this letter I am sending my servant Naaman to you so that you may cure him of his leprosy.”

7 As soon as the king of Israel read the letter, he tore his robes and said, “Am I God? Can I kill and bring back to life? Why does this fellow send someone to me to be cured of his leprosy? See how he is trying to pick a quarrel with me!”

8 When Elisha the man of God heard that the king of Israel had torn his robes, he sent him this message: “Why have you torn your robes? Have the man come to me and he will know that there is a prophet in Israel.” 9 So Naaman went with his horses and chariots and stopped at the door of Elisha’s house. 10 Elisha sent a messenger to say to him, “Go, wash yourself seven times in the Jordan, and your flesh will be restored and you will be cleansed.”

11 But Naaman went away angry and said, “I thought that he would surely come out to me and stand and call on the name of the Lord his God, wave his hand over the spot and cure me of my leprosy. 12 Are not Abana and Pharpar, the rivers of Damascus, better than all the waters of Israel? Couldn’t I wash in them and be cleansed?” So he turned and went off in a rage.

13 Naaman’s servants went to him and said, “My father, if the prophet had told you to do some great thing, would you not have done it? How much more, then, when he tells you, ‘Wash and be cleansed’!” 14 So he went down and dipped himself in the Jordan seven times, as the man of God had told him, and his flesh was restored and became clean like that of a young boy.

So, Just to recap:

Verse 1 - We learn Naaman has some sort of status, but not because of anything he did, but that The Lord did through him.

Learn and learn quickly, all that you have and who you are is not because of you, but because of what The Lord did for you either through you or through someone else for you.

Verse 7 - Even the king of Israel knew to acknowledge that even being a king, there are things that only God can do.

I am so obedient to my calling and my gifting, not because of myself, but because of the Lord My God moving through me. It is irrelevant whether I am liked or disliked because of this calling and this gifting, I fear and reverence my Creator and therefore, it is Him whom I strive to please and stay in His will. And to many, this fact does not look like many thought it would or even should.

Verse 8 - Elisha, the Man of God (Prophet) heard of Naaman’s medical need, he reached out to have Naaman come to him, because The Lord was going to heal Naaman through Him (in this case, through Elisha with instructions) and Naaman arrives with all his pomp and pageantry.

A clear sign of a person who has a mentality of entitlement is the fact that they always have to make a grand appearance, now-a-days its with the vehicle they drive, the loud music, anything that commands attention. And in all their pomp and pageantry - they are either in debt because of it (deep debt - let me add) or they were gifted with it because it surely isn’t something they of themselves could truly afford on their own except The Lord do it for them.

Further, when Naaman learns he must go and dip in the Jordan River, one of the dirtiest rivers at the time, he pitched a fit because as you read for yourself, he is Naaman and felt entitled to one of the more…shall we say, cleaner bodies of water.

You really have to just shake your head. Some people and they mentality of entitlement you really have to pity them because pride has blinded them.

Verse 11 - And still being on his proverbial soapbox, Naaman goes on further to point out that Elisha didn’t even come out to greet him.

From there on to verse 14, Naaman, is given a tongue-lashing in which his entitlement is brought to his attention since it is he in need of healing of leprosy. Therefore, he finally has a reality check and goes and dips in the Jordan River. There is a whole message in his “dipping” seven times in the river. You who are spiritual will get it right away.

In closing, we are a teaching ministry. Henceforth, f this teaching ministered to you and opened your eyes and ears of understanding, do not allow the adversary to attack you with condemnation. Just as Jesus said in John 8:11 - Neither do I condemn you, go and sin no more. Beloved get over yourself and be healed, delivered, and set free from the spirit of pride in the form of an entitled mindset.

Blessed Be The Name of God our Father and The Lord Jesus Christ,

Apostle & Prophetess Wendy Connor
