3/10/25 Offices of Importance

It is rarely understood how important the offices of husband and father are to God. He has placed these often-misunderstood offices in a key position in creation and shows favor to the man who comprehends their value and endeavors to walk in the roles of husband and father with God’s purposes in mind. He even revealed Himself to all mankind as Father, so we could begin to comprehend the worth He places on that office.

In the spiritual realm, God has set a ranking and order in place to accomplish His plans. This order is followed by all of His creations, beginning with the angelic beings right on down to all of mankind. Within that structure, God has designated the offices of husband and father as the primary offices through which He can display His power, mercy, and love. A man, who is truly in line with the Word of God in regard to his wife and family, is an example of the relationship between Christ and His church. This is very important to Father God because that relationship is meant to display His character to those who are watching.

Regardless of your station in life, the testimony you give to others falls pale if your relationship with your wife is even remotely cold or your children’s actions show your lack of understanding of your offices. If you really want to touch people and be in line with the perfect will of God, then make what is important to God very important to you. He considers the offices you hold of immense importance. It would be wise to do whatever it takes to function properly in them.

3/08/25 Entertainment or Quiet?

“Do you see that as you respond to My call to spend time with Me, the ways of the world are becoming tasteless? At the same time, you are cultivating taste buds for the desires of My heart. The closer you come to Me, the less appeal the world and its ways will have. I plan it that way. I would have you observe, however, that fewer and fewer people in the “business-as-usual” church will desire to be with you as these changes take place.

“As We spend time together, you simply lose interest in going where they love to go, so they fall away. If your heart’s desire is to spend time with Me, if you choose Our time together rather than looking for frivolous entertainment, if you love to seek My desires over yours, you will find yourself on the outside of most activities.

“Fewer and fewer people will desire to be with you. Since you really have no use for their ways, it will be freedom for you. It will remove clutter from your life. Make Jesus your best friend. The closer you come to Him, the more time you will be spending with Me. It works well!”

II Chron. 15:15 AMP

And all Judah rejoiced at the oath, for they had sworn with all their heart and sought Him [yearning for Him] with their whole desire, and He was found by them. And the Lord gave them rest and peace round about.

Ps. 51:6 AMP

Behold, You desire truth in the inner being; make me therefore to know wisdom in my inmost heart.

Hosea 6:6 AMP

For I desire and delight in dutiful steadfast love and goodness, not sacrifice, and the knowledge of and acquaintance with God more than burnt offerings.

Mark 4:19 AMP

Then the cares and anxieties of the world and distractions of the age, and the pleasure and delight and false glamour and deceitfulness of riches, and the craving and passionate desire for other things creep in and choke and suffocate the Word, and it becomes fruitless.

Gal 5:16-17 AMP

16) But I say, walk and live [habitually] in the [Holy] Spirit [responsive to and controlled and guided by the Spirit]; then you will certainly not gratify the cravings and desires of the flesh (of human nature without God).

17) For the desires of the flesh are opposed to the [Holy] Spirit, and the [desires of the] Spirit are opposed to the flesh (godless human nature); for these are antagonistic to each other [continually withstanding and in conflict with each other], so that you are not free but are prevented from doing what you desire to do.

Rev. 22:17 AMP

The [Holy] Spirit and the bride (the church, the true Christians) say, Come! And let him who is listening say, Come! And let everyone come who is thirsty [who is painfully conscious of his need of those things by which the soul is refreshed, supported, and strengthened]; and whoever [earnestly] desires to do it, let him come, take, appropriate, and drink the water of Life without cost.

The call to intimacy is not heard by many. It is a call that might appear to the uninformed as one that leads to loneliness, when the opposite is actually true. It is freedom.

The world and the cold church scurry to find ways to be entertained and fulfilled, rather than be with God. It is a plan of the enemy to keep them so busy that there is no time for them to have the intimacy with our Lord that is intended for us as His children.

People delightfully find replacement gods to serve at every opportunity. Most of these false gods take the form of “blessings.” The hard-of-hearing saints buy bigger and crave more “things” from God, rather than more of God. The result is that they must work harder to pay for whatever it is that then owns them and their time. Countless fellowships, Bible studies, activities, more activities, meetings, and more activities consume days; and when overdone, also destroy the desire for more of God.

Marvelous things happen, however, when you respond to the call of holiness and head for the bridal heart of Jesus. Your world becomes quieted, because your first desire is to spend time gaining intimacy with your Lord. Your tastes and desires change. You change. Ultimately, your friends change if you have any left. Your world is freed up to honor the things that your Lord and best Friend cherishes. Most of the time, you will do it only with Him. That is a good thing!

You design my world, Lord,

3/08/25 Your Job

While functioning in the offices of husband and father, have you ever thought about the reason why your Father God chose to give you breath? I know that is pretty much a leading question; but none-the-less, it’s a question most men don’t really know how to answer. Let me answer it for you before you go on the typical rabbit trails of providing for them or making sure they’re safe in this world.

God has placed you in the most important position He ever created so that you can provide a fertile atmosphere for your wife and children to overcome the world. That’s it! All the money you make, the kind of house you own, the cars, vacations, the college educations mean nothing if those you are steward of have not learned how to function in a life separate from the world and its tentacles. As a husband and father, you will answer for that when you stand before God. Whether you like it or not, it’s what your offices require of you.

Most men don’t have a clue on how to create this atmosphere, because they haven’t chosen to function in that atmosphere themselves. Most men don’t grasp the impact of what Jesus was telling them when He said that those who overcome the world, as He did, will sit beside Him on His throne just as He overcame and sat down beside His Father on His throne.

Men, what is your plan to get in line with God and His desires for the offices He has given you? How do you plan to turn your life and the lives of your family around so you can all prosper in a dying world and overcome it through the power of the Holy Spirit? The answer to those leading questions is for you to make your priority intimacy with God. You need to change your address to God’s Throne Room to receive all that is needed to lead others where you have been. Once you determine in your heart to live there yourself, you will be able to lead others there, too. God has called you to live that life with Him so that you can give away what you own! Will you do it?

Let’s talk!

3/07/25 Amplified Blessings

“In whatever you put your hand to, always leave room for My presence to amplify your blessing. Never allow others to think that you have accomplished what I have increased. I am a jealous God. Make sure that you take no glory for yourself, or I will curtail the flow of blessing until you repent. I have set you in position so that you will prosper. Keep your heart in line with Mine. Move in boldness when I tell you to move. Keep your eyes on Me. I will give you My kind of increase.”

Deut. 1:6 NIV

The Lord our God said to us at Horeb, “You have stayed long enough at this mountain.”

2 Chr 16:9 NIV

“For the eyes of the Lord range throughout the earth to strengthen those whose hearts are fully committed to him...”

Psalm 111:2 NIV

Great are the works of the Lord; they are pondered by all who delight in them.

Psalm 127:1 AMP

Except the Lord builds the house, they labor in vain who build it…

Proverbs 16:9 AMP

A man’s mind plans his way, but the Lord directs his steps and makes them sure.

The Lord impressed me to use this message to encourage those of you who have been in the financial refiner’s fire. Take this message to heart and hold onto it. Many of you have been steadfast in faith, as you wait on the Lord to teach your heart His ways and destroy yours. Soon, some of you will be entrusted with enough to share with others.

I believe that this message is to be held close to your heart for the proper time when you can embrace its promises and heed its warnings. That exact time is between you and the Lord. Take time to earmark and remember the words above for when the Lord brings them to your memory, and you are to move out to claim them as yours. For some of you, it will be a very short time; for others, wait patiently for His timing. He is faithful.

I wait on You, my Lord,

3/07/25 Train Up a Child

The Bible states that we should train up a child in the way he should go and when he is old he will not depart from it. How that works day to day has a rhythm of spiritual wonder and potential. We are to make our lives a study of our children, observing those things they are interested in and have a bent for. After observing those traits, we are to build a pattern for their lives, directing them into those gifts and re-enforcing their interest in them.

When our daughter Jubilee was young, there were many things she had an innate ability to do with ease, and also those things that only came to pass through intense struggle on her part. The final outcome of the two processes were a night and day difference. It became increasingly obvious that emphasizing and endorsing her natural abilities was a success pattern for her life.

With that in mind, we set a course of continually studying her, tailoring her schooling, recreational activities, social interaction, and personal tastes to develop her God-given abilities. The results have been quite wonderful. There is a quiet peace in her direction for life. (There are also life skills she acquired that came from having to meet the challenges associated with those things she achieved through great struggle.) It’s almost as if the Lord gave her new abilities because she had such freedom to flow in her natural tendencies.

Men, begin to make it your life’s work to study your children. Participate with your wife in planning their lives around their natural abilities. Watch them meet the challenges with an anointing that is God-given as they prosper in Him. You will be amazed at the freedom they have to succeed. Sounds worth pursuing, doesn’t it?

Let’s talk more!
