Where The Battle Is
April 24th, 2024Full Acceptance Of HIS Will
April 24th, 2024Are you willing to accept FATHER’S full and complete will for your life?
When I was young, I was afraid that FATHER would assign me to be a missionary in Africa and I didn’t have a heart for such an assignment. Little did I realize that HIS Divine Intent for me was established before I was formed in the womb. My responsibility was to ask, seek, knock, and find what my calling was.
Jesus spoke in Luke chapter 11:
9 “So I say to you, ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.
10 For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened.
11 If a son asks for bread from any father among you, will he give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will he give him a serpent instead of a fish?
12 Or if he asks for an egg, will he offer him a scorpion?
13 If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will Your Heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him!”
Step one to finding out the details of FATHER’S Will for your life is to submit to draw of The Holy Spirit to FATHER. As you read and hear The Word resulting in the acceptance of Jesus Christ as your one and only Savior, you will come to realize that HE sent The Holy Spirit for our benefit so that we can successfully walk in FATHER’S Divine Intent for our lives.
As you receive the Baptism of The Holy Spirit, you effective have a Holy GPS inside you to direct your path. The key is to respond in a positive manner. Otherwise, you will be given the opportunity to correct your path. Sometimes, the correction can seem severe but necessary. As you trust in FATHER’S plan, fear will depart, and you will begin to see the blessings of fully submitting to HIS Will for your life. Consider Paul’s life before his encounter with Jesus Christ.
Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in 1st Timothy chapter 1:
12 I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, Who has strengthened me, because He considered me faithful, putting me into service,
13 even though I was formerly a blasphemer and a persecutor and a violent aggressor. Yet I was shown mercy because I acted ignorantly in unbelief;
14 and the grace of our Lord was more than abundant, with the faith and Love which are found in Christ Jesus.
15 It is a trustworthy statement, deserving full acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, among whom I am foremost of all.
16 Yet for this reason I found mercy, so that in me as the foremost, Jesus Christ might demonstrate His perfect patience as an example for those who would believe in Him for Eternal life.
17 Now to the King Eternal, Immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen.
What is a blasphemer? This word mean: to slander or accuse; to speak derogatory words for the purpose of injuring or harming one’s reputation: signifies profane, foul, unclean language: any derogatory speech intended to defame, injure, or harm another’s reputation; any type of debasing, derogatory, nasty, shameful, or ugly speech or behavior intended to humiliate someone. It is a mean-spirited person!
Further, the meaning of a persecutor is: to hunt, chase, or pursue; to persecute; denoted the actions of a hunter who followed after an animal in order to apprehend, capture, and kill it.
That’s not all. A violent aggressor is one who in pride and insolence deliberately mistreats, wrongs, and hurts another; treatment calculated to public insult and openly humiliate the person who suffers it; one who derives pleasure from inflicting pain on someone else.
Who would have thought that Saul could change? Jesus did. He knew FATHER’S plan for Paul, and it required an encounter with Jesus Himself.
Now let’s look at Paul’s conversion.
Luke recorded by The Holy Spirit in Acts chapter 9:
1 Then Saul, still breathing threats and murder against the disciples of the Lord, went to the high priest
2 and asked letters from him to the synagogues of Damascus, so that if he found any who were of the Way, whether men or women, he might bring them bound to Jerusalem.
3 As he journeyed he came near Damascus, and suddenly a Light shone around him from Heaven.
4 Then he fell to the ground, and heard a voice saying to him, “Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting Me?”
5 And he said, “Who are You, Lord?” Then the Lord said, “I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting. It is hard for you to kick against the goads.”
6 So he, trembling and astonished, said, “Lord, what do You want me to do?” Then the Lord said to him, “Arise and go into the city, and you will be told what you must do.”
7 And the men who journeyed with him stood speechless, hearing a voice but seeing no one.
8 Then Saul arose from the ground, and when his eyes were opened he saw no one. But they led him by the hand and brought him into Damascus.
9 And he was three days without sight, and neither ate nor drank.
No matter how messed up a person is, FATHER can change him or her. We can’t force a person to change, only FATHER can. It requires a change of heart. It requires a personal encounter with Jesus Christ Who will then give that person The Holy Spirit to guide such a person who has become a new creation, old things passed away. However, it takes full acceptance and saying, “Lord, what do You want me to do?”
Kids In Need Update

I gave a family who just arrived from Nicaragua some Crest and Target gift cards. The mother recently passed away and the youngest daughter ended up in the hospital. Dad was struggling to provide clothes that fit for the children. He greatly appreciated us providing him some support.
Thank you for making this possible!
We appreciate your continued support. Every dollar you give is directed to those in need and you are laying up Heavenly Treasures to your account with FATHER. We provide seeds of hope for these kids as well we are a testimony to the teachers, counselors, and administration. You are examples of Love in action by your giving!
Do You Own Stocks?
April 23rd, 2024If you do own stocks and the certificates are not in your possession, this interview will enlighten you concerning changes in the law that may affect your status of ownership if there is a credit crisis.
The recently enacted laws do not favor you and me.
Even though my wife and I don’t have a lot of stocks, we did go through the process of getting physical certificates which has no intermediary claims.
Step 1: Notify your stock broker who has your stocks in the “street name” to transfer them to Direct Registration at Computershare. They will likely charge a fee for this.
Step 2: Once you have an account at Computershare, you can select the option for issuing physical shares sent to your home address.
If you decide to sell your shares, you can go to your stockbroker and reintroduce them to your account. Once posted, you can then sell them.
If you have physical certificates, the Stock Transfer Agent who is retained by the public corporation will have record of your ownership. There are no intermediary claims that can be used to tie up your asset.
Jesus spoke in Matthew chapter 10:
16 Now, remember, it is I who sends you out, even though you feel vulnerable as lambs going into a pack of wolves. So be as shrewd as snakes yet as harmless as doves.”
Let us not be caught unaware of what the snakes are attempting to do!
A Frank Discussion
April 22nd, 2024Mario Murillo interviews Gary Wilkerson, the son of American Christian evangelist David Wilkerson , best known for his book The Cross and the Switchblade.
Silence Is Consent
April 21st, 2024Are you guilty of the sin of omission?
Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in 2nd Corinthians chapter 4:
7 We are like common clay jars that carry this glorious Treasure within, so that this immeasurable power will be seen as God’s, not ours.
8 Though we experience every kind of pressure, we’re not crushed. At times we don’t know what to do, but quitting is not an option.
9 We are persecuted by others, but God has not forsaken us. We may be knocked down, but not out.
10 We continually share in the death of Jesus in our own bodies so that the resurrection Life of Jesus will be revealed through our humanity.
11 We consider living to mean that we are constantly being handed over to death for Jesus’ sake so that the life of Jesus will be revealed through our humanity.
If we remain silent about the unrighteousness we are being confronted with on a daily basis, we are guilty.
Moses recorded by THE SPIRIT in Leviticus chapter 5:
1 ‘If anyone sins after he hears a public adjuration (solemn command to testify) when he is a witness, whether he has seen or [otherwise] known [something]—if he fails to report it, then he will bear his guilt and be held responsible.”
Can we claim ignorance of the widespread, well publicized unrighteousness before us?
The following video sums it up:
Base Your Life on Truth
April 20th, 2024When you seek the real Truth, you will be subject to storms and that is where you character is built.
Peter wrote by The Holy Spirit in 1st Peter chapter 4:
12 Beloved, do not think it strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened to you;
13 but rejoice to the extent that you partake of Christ’s sufferings, that when His glory is revealed, you may also be glad with exceeding joy.
14 If you are reproached for the name of Christ, blessed are you, for the Spirit of glory and of God rests upon you. On their part He is blasphemed, but on your part He is glorified.
When you purpose to base your life on The Truth of The Word of GOD, you will be challenged by the adversary in various ways. We would all like to live a quiet, peaceful, carefree life. However, the life of an overcomer is to overcome!
Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Ephesians chapter 6:
10 Now my Beloved ones, I have saved these most important Truths for last: Be Supernaturally infused with strength through your Life-union with the Lord Jesus. Stand victorious with the force of His explosive power flowing in and through you. 11 Put on God’s complete set of armor provided for us, so that you will be protected as you fight against the evil strategies of the accuser!
12 Your hand-to-hand combat is not with human beings, but with the highest principalities and authorities operating in rebellion under the heavenly realms. For they are a powerful class of demon-gods and evil spirits that hold this dark world in bondage.
13 Because of this, you must wear all the armor that God provides so you’re protected as you confront the slanderer, for you are destined for all things and will rise victorious.
14 Put on Truth as a belt to strengthen you to stand in triumph. Put on Holiness as the protective armor that covers your heart.
15 Stand on your feet alert, then you’ll always be ready to share the blessings of peace.
16 In every battle, take faith as your wrap-around shield, for it is able to extinguish the blazing arrows coming at you from the evil one!
17-18 Embrace the power of salvation’s full deliverance, like a helmet to protect your thoughts from lies. And take the mighty razor-sharp Spirit-sword of the spoken Word of God. Pray passionately in the Spirit, as you constantly intercede with every form of prayer at all times. Pray the blessings of God upon all His believers.
Let’s face it, we are in a battle. Truth strengthens us in our resolve to confront evil. The Sword of THE SPIRIT which is The Word of GOD is our offensive weapon. Our faith in GOD shields us and from the fiery darts. Those darts (or arrows) will have no effect on us.
Moses recorded by THE SPIRIT in Exodus chapter 20:
16 “You shall not testify falsely [that is, lie, withhold, or manipulate the truth] against your neighbor (any person). AMP
Consider the lawfare directed toward the former president. Have you considered the motivation for such a travesty of justice? Do you think that other past presidents are squeaky clean? Did we ever see the birth certificate of one such president? Why not? Why was one president assassinated 60 years ago yet the politicians continue to withhold the evidence of what actually happened? Why has the government withheld indisputable evidence of the latest unproven vaccine being a bioweapon?
We are surrounded by lies? What are we to do? The solution is spiritual in nature, not physical. Our lawful actions will change the course our nations are currently on. FATHER will be separating the sheep from the goat nations. If your nation is judged as a “goat”, it will come under judgment. However as always, FATHER will protect HIS remnant as judgment comes forth. Don’t be caught unaware when judgment arrives on earth. We are to be strong in THE LORD!
The Spiritual Transaction
April 19th, 2024Giving should be a Spiritual transaction!
When you partner with The Holy Spirit, your giving becomes a Spiritual transaction.
The Beloved Disciple recorded by The Holy Spirit in John chapter 21:
1 After these things Jesus showed Himself again to the disciples at the Sea of Tiberias, and in this way He showed Himself:
2 Simon Peter, Thomas called the Twin, Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, the sons of Zebedee, and two others of His disciples were together.
3 Simon Peter said to them, “I am going fishing.” They said to him, “We are going with you also.” They went out and immediately got into the boat, and that night they caught nothing.
Peter and the other disciples tried to produce income on their own and they were totally unsuccessful.
4 But when the morning had now come, Jesus stood on the shore; yet the disciples did not know that it was Jesus.
5 Then Jesus said to them, “Children, have you any food?” They answered Him, “No.”
They admitted to their failure as seasoned fishermen.
6 And He said to them, “Cast the net on the right side of the boat, and you will find some.” So they cast, and now they were not able to draw it in because of the multitude of fish.
When you immediately respond to OUR LORD, you succeed. They toiled all night but when they heard the Word of The Lord, success came quickly and with abundance.
This is also true when you give as directed by The Holy Spirit. When my wife and I give, we ask The Holy Spirit to tell us how much. The first amount we “hear” is what we have learned to give. If we continue to dwell on the question of how much, our souls get involved and the amount is typically lower. Who woulda thought! Our soulish man must be put under submission, and this occurs as we continue to listen to The Holy Spirit. Hearing Him in giving can be most difficult since finances are such a sensitive subject. Also, we have learned not to be coerced by men in our giving.
When we give in response to what The Holy Spirit tells us, this becomes a Spiritual transaction. We have placed our faith in hearing The Holy Spirit which sets us up for blessings in all areas. Yes, there are times when our faith is “stretched” but in response, the windows of Heaven have opened up on our behalf.
Kids In Need Update
April 18th, 2024Love acts!
With the financial help of our partners, we paid off school lunch debt for kids in need in three different elementary schools. We blessed a total of 230 boys and girls which in turn, blessed their families. These families are struggling.
This act of Love is to promote hope to those in need and be a witness to those who observed these acts of Love. The kids’ families were above the poverty line where the government will not pay for lunches, yet they don’t produce enough income to fund their kids’ lunches. The Federal poverty calculation is not realistic, especially with the notable inflation now occurring.
Our thanks to those who are able to give into Servias Ministries. FATHER knows your heart!
As Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in 2nd Corinthians chapter 9:
6 But this I say: He who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and he who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully.
7 So let each one give as he purposes in his heart, not grudgingly or of necessity; for God Loves a cheerful giver.
8 And God is able to make all grace abound toward you, that you, always having all sufficiency in all things, may have an abundance for every good work.
9 As it is written:
“He has dispersed abroad, He has given to the poor; His righteousness endures forever.”
10 Now may He who supplies seed to the sower, and bread for food, supply and multiply the seed you have sown and increase the fruits of your righteousness
Hyper-informed
April 18th, 2024One of the best sources of Truth in the current society is in my experience:
I don’t give much credence to the network news since their main source of revenue is the pharmaceutical industry. How many pharma commercials did you see 10 years ago? How many do you see during primetime now? Pharma is not the source of health, Jesus Christ Who went to the cross is! The father of lies is working overtime.
