Grapes and Olives

When I awoke this morning and began listening to the streaming audio from my Bible app, the Lord began to speak to me about grapes and olives. What was being spoken into my spirit wasn't related to what I was listening to, but this is what I was being fed in the Spirit: It was all for me personally, but also for anyone else who is in the body of Christ that has an ear to hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches…

Are you one with God the Father, through Jesus Christ, His only begotten Son, by the Holy Ghost dwelling within your earthen vessel? Have you received the baptism in the Holy Ghost with the evidence of speaking in other tongues like they did on the day of Pentecost since you believed? Do you bear the fruits of the Spirit in every thing you do, in every word you speak, regardless of what circumstances or situations arise in this life? If you are truly one with God the Father, you would be holy, for He is Holy.
We are told in Scripture to be holy in all manner of conversation. Did you know that conversation is not merely about what we say amongst ourselves with others?

The first definition in the Noah Webster 1828 dictionary is 1. General course of manners; behavior; deportment; especially as it respects morals.

Let your conversation be as becometh the gospel. Philippians 1:27

1 Peter 1.15 But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation;
1.16 Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy.

The trials and tribulations we face in this life come to try us so we can see what is truly within us, to perfect us just as Jesus Christ was perfected in His sufferings. When you face the trials and tribulations through your interactions with others, through the circumstances or situations that arise in this life, do you bear the fruits of the Spirit, or are your responses just like those of the world that know not God?

God was speaking with me about grapes and olives. To get the new w**e (or unfermented grape juice) from a grape, or oil from an olive, they have to be pressed. We have to ask ourselves when we are pressed, is the w**e that comes out of us sweet or bitter? When the pressure is on, is the oil that comes out of us sweet, or is it rancid and sour?

Matthew 15.11 Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man; but that which cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man.

Luke 6.45 A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is evil: for of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh.

My pastor says that the fullness of the godhead depends upon us. What's inside of us dictates how full that fullness is going to be.
In the scriptures we are told that we are to be first partakers of the fruits. This includes the fruits of the Spirit. If the fullness of the godhead is within us, and we are always walking after the Spirit as we are commanded to do, then the fruits of the Spirit would be evident in every single thing we do, and in every single response we have to any and all circumstances or situations that arise in this life.

Galatians 5.22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,
5.23 Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.
5.24 And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.
5.25 If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.

Can we honestly say that we see these through our reactions to the people, circumstances or situations that we face in this life? We should always bear the fruits of the Spirit, regardless of what we face in this life, or whatever we may face in these earthen vessels.

2 Corinthians 12.9 And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.
12.10 Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong.

If we can't see the fruits of the Spirit in our life, we need to be purged, purified and made new in mind, heart, soul and spirit. This is the work of the Holy Spirit. He can do this work within us whether or not we have received the full indwelling of the Spirit because when we received Christ into our hearts we received a portion of the Spirit, just not the full indwelling. Regardless, it is more beneficial to us if we are going to overcome this world and the lusts of the flesh that we receive the baptism in the Holy Ghost.
Being perfected from the inside out is the purpose for our trials, temptations and tribulations, to become the church that Jesus Christ is returning for. The church is the Bride of Christ. This means we have to be as He is, without blame, without spot and without wrinkle, unrebukable before God. We can only do this by the power of the Holy Ghost and walking in the Spirit.

Are you ready?

James 4.8 Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded.
4.9 Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to heaviness.
4.10 Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up.

Just to be clear, I didn't learn this through someone's preaching, through a commentary I read, or even using Google. This came to me by way of the Holy Ghost within me.

John 14.26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.

1 John 2.27 But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him.

Jesus came out of the heart of God:

Jesus said, Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks.

Jesus Christ is the Word of God made flesh, and Revelation 19:13 says that His name is called the Word of God.

He and His Father are one in that they are of the same mind, heart and Spirit. As confessing Christians, this should be true of us as well.

One with God, through Jesus Christ, by the Spirit dwelling within us. The fullness of the godhead bodily, just like Jesus Christ, who is the only begotten Son of God, meaning that He came out from God.

This is what Jesus Christ came in the flesh to show us... Who a child of God is supposed to be, and what a child of God is supposed to be able to do through Him, by the Spirit dwelling within us!

This is why God had to send Jesus Christ, His only begotten Son into the world. This is also why Jesus Christ had to die on the cross, to make it possible for us to become what God always intended us to be!

It's only by the power of the Holy Ghost that we can truly become what God intended us to be from the foundations of the world!

Glory to God! Hallelujah! Praise God for his unspeakable gift, and for the treasure in these earthen vessels!

2 Corinthians
4.6 For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.
4.7 But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.

Embrace this truth because it's time to become The Church that Jesus Christ is returning for... Full of the power and authority granted unto us in the name of Jesus Christ, the Lord of Glory, by the Holy Ghost! Hallelujah to the Lamb slain from the foundations of the world!

Ye Are Gods

I was asked by a Brother in Christ a few questions regarding what I talked about in my last status update written on Friday, September 25

“What you wrote was good. I just wanted to know two things.

Is the use of the word “gods” in the two verses you cited referring to us as God’s children?
And,
Can it mean that if a saint prays faithfully and a person is not healed of an infirmity or condition that there is something wrong with the saint’s faith or authority?”

I was inspired to share my responses to him as a status update so others could also be edified. In my answer to him regarding the Ye are gods question I said:
Yes, it is referring to us as God's children.

Addendum to my answer to him: We are His, but it's more than just that we are His through the context of Jesus saying, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods? John 10.34

10.35 If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the scripture cannot be broken.
“Unto whom the Word of God came” refers to the prophets. Remember that they of whom He speaks couldn't receive the baptism in the Holy Ghost because Christ hadn't come in the flesh and wasn't risen yet, but they were anointed by the Spirit to prophesy and to do the miracles that many of them did.

10.36 Say ye of him, whom the Father hath sanctified, and sent into the world, Thou blasphemest; because I said, I am the Son of God?
The same can be said to those who think the children of God are delusional when they say they believe that the power of God resides within us who have received the baptism in the Holy Ghost. We are sanctified, or set apart by God to do the works that He would have us do.

10.37 If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not.
10.38 But if I do, though ye believe not me, believe the works: that ye may know, and believe, that the Father is in me, and I in him.
Those of us who are baptized in the Holy Ghost have received the fullness of the godhead bodily, just like Jesus. For this reason we can also claim the Father in me, and I in Him.

Psalm 82.6 I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High.
Note that there is a colon before “and all of you are children of the most high.” This indicates a separate identification, as such I see it more along the lines of As children of God ye are (like) gods in that we are granted the authority and dominion over the world and all that therein is. In other words, we have the same ability to speak things into existence as God has just like the prophets of old, and the disciples of Christ in the days when they walked with Him, and when He worked with them following His ascension into heaven with signs following! 🙌😇🙏

The second question had a bit more complex response:
I don't believe a lack of signs following has anything to do with a lack in the saint's faith or authority. What I believe it has to do with is more about whether the person who needs healing has learned what they needed to learn through the trials of their afflictions or not. It occurs to me that those who go through afflictions, get through it and face it again, and again, whether they get prayers or not, have still not learned what they needed to through their afflictions.

I believe what God revealed to me is that the afflictions we face in mind, heart, soul, spirit and body are to strengthen and perfect us, just as Jesus Christ was perfected in His sufferings ❤️

It's also to teach us how to war in the Spirit against the powers of darkness that more often than not brought these afflictions upon us. In essence, we have to learn how to walk in the authority Christ gives us to overcome these afflictions.

Sometimes it is a result of the recipient and their own lack of faith. They ask for prayers because they are hoping for a healing, but they are of the mind "I'll believe it when I see it"
Sometimes it takes time for the healing to come because they haven't grown in their faith to receive it yet. This was the case for me when I received prayer about the herniated disc in my neck and bulging discs cascading down my spine as a result of it. It took me several months after I started going to Maranatha Chapel with Nadene before I finally got my deliverance and claimed the healing in my heart.
It's all a heart issue ❤️

Romans 10.10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

I believe that salvation isn't limited to just the saving of the soul. Salvation, true salvation is deliverance from any and all bo***ges, as well as physical afflictions. When we speak, whatever we speak is what we get, the fruit of the mouth as Proverbs says:

Proverbs
18.20 A man's belly shall be satisfied with the fruit of his mouth; and with the increase of his lips shall he be filled.
18.21 Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.

I like to think about it this way:
Believe it, speak it, and receive it!

As a side note regarding the healing question, those who are a recipient of the gift of miracles (an instant deliverance from their affliction) received it because they needed it in order to open their eyes and heart to the light of the Gospel so they would accept the Lord as their Savior.
Those who receive instant deliverance who are already saved have already likely learned whatever they needed to learn through their afflictions.

The reason I didn't get an instant deliverance was two-fold; first, I already believed in Jesus Christ to an extent, and I realized I needed the Savior. Because I already accepted the Lord, I didn't need the healing to receive the revelation of Jesus Christ.
While I was hopeful that I could be healed of the disc problems which is why I kept asking for prayers, there was still that nagging unbelief inside that said "I'll believe it when I see it” which kept me bound in the affliction.

There was a part of me that anticipated the pain because I had dealt with it for over 15 years and continued functioning the way I had trained myself to in order to avoid causing the pain to flare up.
Once I determined that I had received my healing and stopped bracing for the pain, that was when I truly had accepted and ultimately received my deliverance.

We all have a little unbelief inside on occasion in anything we face in this life. That unbelief is often fueled by fear. I don't believe that it is a coincidence that we are told in the scriptures 365 times not to fear. We're being told that one time for each day of the year.

We have to step out of the boat and walk on the water, not allowing the wind and the waves to steal our faith. This is when God will be able to work through us, confirming the Word with signs following! Amen 🙌 🙌 🙌

Dominion and Authority

When Jesus Christ walked the earth with His disciples, which we who believe and confess Him as our Lord and Savior are. What the Master taught them is for us as well. All that He taught them is for all His disciples because disciples are students. That makes us who call ourselves Christians, students of the Word because as Revelation 19:13 says that His name is called the Word of God.

Acts 11:26 says that the disciples were first called Christians at Antioch. Why were they called Christians? Because they were doing what the Master said they should be doing, and doing exactly what He did in their midst.

Mark
16.15 And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.
16.16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.
16.17 And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;
16.18 They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.
16.19 So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God.
16.20 And they went forth, and preached every where, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following. Amen.

If they were called Christians because they followed His teachings and example, by preaching the Gospel to everyone they met, casting out devils and laying hands on the sick that they would be healed, then we who call ourselves Christians in the here and now should be doing the same. If we're not, it's because of unbelief.
As it states in verse 20 above, the Lord worked with them, confirming the word with signs following. Just as Jesus told them, the signs He said would follow those who believe in verses 17 and 18 above followed them because they believed and stepped out in what they were told and shown by their teacher. This is why they were called Christians.

If we in the here and now are not seeing these signs following us or other Christians, it's because we and they are not stepping out in faith, and in the power and authority granted unto us in Jesus name.
If we're not being taught what Jesus taught those who followed Him in the days when He walked the earth in the flesh, then we are never going to act on what we are called to do.

The example Jesus presented was a demonstration of the power and authority we ought to have over this fallen world as the children of God. He was the only begotten Son of God, and through Him, by the power of the Holy Ghost within us, we should emulate Him by doing everything He teaches His disciples.

Genesis 1.26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.

In the beginning, Adam and Eve relinquished their authority over this world to the devil. By the death and resurrection of Christ, this dominion is restored to those who believe and step out in what Jesus said we should do as His disciples, in Jesus name of course. It's only by Christ in us that this dominion is restored.

John 8.31 Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed;
8.32 And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.

As children of God, we are supposed to be as our Master, we are supposed to rise above the limitations of the natural. In the natural, nobody could do the miracles of Jesus Christ and the disciples who followed His teachings and example, prior to and following His crucifixion and resurrection.

Philippians
2.5 Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:
2.6 Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:
2.7 But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:
2.8 And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.

John 10.34 Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods?

Psalm 82.6 I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High.

As the children of God, we are servants, and a servant does what His master commands. Be not deceived, but the great commission in Mark 16: 15-16 above is a command to the church, which we are, if we follow the teachings and example of Jesus Christ.

In the words of our Lord and Savior, through the apostle Paul in Philippians above, Let this mind be in you: we are gods and equal with Christ because God said it is so. The only difference between us and Christ is that we were born with the carnal sin nature while Christ was born the seed of the Holy Ghost.

This is why we need the baptism in the Holy Ghost, to receive the power to overcome the sin nature. The baptism in the Holy Ghost makes us like Christ in that we have the fullness of the godhead bodily; the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost dwelling within us.

2 Corinthians 6.16 tells us as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. This is speaking of the indwelling of the Holy Ghost.

Anyone who has been taught otherwise, and does not believe these things are for us in the here and now, have been deceived by the devil because he wants us to be weak and beggarly, not walking in the power and authority granted unto us in Jesus name! The thief cometh only but to steal, kill and destroy. He's stealing the truth from you!
If you have not received the baptism in the Holy Ghost with the evidence of speaking in other tongues, you do not have the spiritual discernment to realize that what I have said is true and righteous altogether.
Seek God, and his wisdom in this and lean not unto your own understanding, or the things others have said that are contrary to what I have said.

John 14.26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.

1 John
2.26 These things have I written unto you concerning them that seduce you.
2.27 But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him.

Deny Yourself

I think about how Jesus, when praying to the Father in the garden of Gethsemane that He wouldn't have to go to the cross, prayed so earnestly that He sweat great drops of blood.

I don't believe it was so much that Jesus wasn't willing to sacrifice himself for you and I that His prayer was so impassioned that He sweat those great drops of blood, which by the way is something medical science can prove is possible.

I believe that besides knowing what He was about to endure, not only the suffering and death on the cross, but also the scourging He would experience on the way to the cross, I believe the Lord already knew what having the weight of sin thrust upon Him while on the cross would be like was what led to His praying so intently.

This is a picture of denying oneself. Laying down His life so we can live. Being tortured for crimes He never committed. Having the weight of sin, the sins of the whole world, thrust upon Him as He suffered and died.

Jesus tells us that we are to love our neighbors as ourselves. This was His display of love for the whole world.

Thinking about this I have to ask myself if I am going to follow Him, how much am I willing to sacrifice to be His disciple. How much of the things and ways of this world am I willing to let go of in order to be what God has called me to be? How much of this life that I have been living is really a hindrance in my relationship with God? Am I all in, or am I lukewarm?

He would rather we be hot or cold, but if we are lukewarm, He will spew us out of His mouth.

I want to be on fire for the Lord, for what He has done for me! That's why I worship the name of Jesus Christ my Savior and Lord! I want all I do to be in honor of Him and His sacrifice on Calvary!

07/23/2026

Are you born again?

Jesus said Except a man be born again he cannot see the kingdom of God. He went on to say that being born again means being born of water and of the Spirit.

How do we know if we are born of the Spirit?

I think about Jeremiah 20:9 below as one significant way we can know if we are indeed born of the Spirit of God. Having a deep burning desire to preach the gospel to those around us, and feeling weary from holding back and not saying anything.

God hasn't called us, for us to just sit back and be quiet about our faith. He called us so that we can be used of Him to reach those who are lost because they are blind to the truth about this world.
He called us to tell those in our circle of influence about who we are supposed to be.
He called us so we can tell others about how we can become what He has always intended from the creation of the world for human kind to be.

If you feel that desire welling up from deep within, that's definitely a sign of being born again. Don't forbear. Let God fill your mouth with His words and speak the truth in love when that fire begins to burn deep down within your spirit.

It could be just what is necessary to bring someone into the Kingdom of God who might not otherwise consider their own position with God, whether they are fighting against God or actually walking with Him!

Genesis 2:25

I've been thinking a lot about this verse lately, and what it means in the context of a godly marriage.

Being naked means being completely exposed, with nothing to hide, and even vulnerable. Full exposure leaves no room for shame.

Husbands and wives are supposed to be totally open and honest with one another. Having anything to hide makes things awkward and uncomfortable.

I've always been one to keep things close to the vest because I haven't always felt safe opening up to anyone. I've even found myself continuing to be closed off and private about some things since getting married due to this insecurity.

Over the years since marrying my wife the Lord has been trying to work on me about being vulnerable and open with my wife about everything. Many times this conviction has come about after my wife manages to pull something out of me, because she can either sense I've been holding something back from her, or the Holy Spirit revealed it to her.

As I continue to walk with the Lord, He continues to do a work in me to make me what and who I am supposed to be in Christ Jesus! With His help I'm learning and growing in the ways of the Lord so I can be who He has always intended me to be, even from my mother's womb!

Praise be to God for His ever faithfulness!

06/30/2026

Hebrews 2:15 speaks of those who have a fear of death, who were all their lifetime subject to bo***ge.
Those of whom are described here refers to any who have been in bo***ge to the sin nature. There's a part of every one of us that inherently knows what we ought not do, but we let the carnal, or human nature rule us.
Scripture says that every person has a seed of faith. What we put our faith in dictates how we live these lives we've been given.
By the same token I believe that within ourselves, each and every one of us knows that death is not going to be a good thing because of how we chose to live when we reject the Word of God. This is where the fear of death comes from.

The only escape from the fear of death is by not only accepting the Word of God, but by embracing the Word of God, line upon line, precept upon precept, every jot and every tittle.

Jesus Christ died on an old rugged cross to redeem us from bo***ge to the sin nature, so we could become one with God and spend an eternity with Him who created all things! Where there will be no more pain and suffering, no more tears and no more death! This is not something to fear!

If you haven't already, ask God's mercy and grace to wash over you for the sins on your soul. Thank Him for sending His only begotten Son to die for your sins. Believe in your heart and confess with your mouth that Jesus was raised from the grave to give you new life! Ask for the indwelling of the Holy Spirit to lead you in His righteousness and in His truth!

He's still waiting with ams spread wide to embrace you! Embrace Him today because there's no guarantee that you'll get another chance because it is appointed once unto man to die, and then the judgement!

Instead of judgement, I pray that on that day you will hear the words, Well done my good and faithful servant. Enter thou into the joy of the Lord!

06/13/2026

There are those who say that the gifts of the Spirit were only for the apostles in the beginning of the church and that they are not for the believers of today.

This is not so. Just read the following verses from 1 Corinthians:

13.8 Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away.
13.9 For we know in part, and we prophesy in part.
13.10 But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away.

There are those who believe that verse 10 above means that they are done away with, but I say unto you that they have not been done away with because that which is perfect has not come yet...

The church as a whole has not been perfected, and shall not be perfected until Christ returns for the church. When the Great Taking Up "the rapture" happens we will finally be perfected and then the gifts of the Spirit, which are meant to build up the church and help us to win the lost will no longer be needed.

Until the Lord returns for His spotless bride, the gifts of the Spirit should always be in operation throughout the whole body of Christ. There's only two possibilities as to why they are not in operation within the church today;

1.) The churches that don't see any signs of the gifts in operation have not gone through to the baptism in the Holy Ghost.

2.) Even if they have gone through to the baptism in the Holy Ghost, they are either too carnal to function in the gifts, or they don't believe what Jesus said about the signs that shall follow those who believe...

Mark
16.17 And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;
16.18 They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.

When the Lord Jesus Christ says that these signs shall follow those who believe, He is talking about All Who Believe!

If we're not seeing these signs following us as Christians, we need to ask God to show us why He is not working with us, signs following as He did with the disciples after Christ ascended into heaven.

It's time to become the church that Christ is returning for because we are in the last days and none of us knows the day or the hour of His return. We can't become complacent and trust just every wind of doctrine. If it's in the Word of God, know of a certainty that it is true and righteous all together.

If it contradicts the Word of God, those who have received the baptism in the Holy Ghost will know within themselves to throw it out because God always shows us the truth about everything we read and hear if our ears are open to hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.

Seek the Lord for the truth and be set free, and find life more abundant in Jesus Christ!
