As I read Luke 22:35-36 Jesus asked his disciples, “when I sent you without purse, bag or sandals, did you lack anything?” “Nothing,” they answered. Jesus was referring Luke 9:1-6 where he’d sent out the twelve disciples and give them power and authority to cast out all demons and to heal all diseases, taking nothing for their journey. He said to them, “But now if you have  a purse, take it, and also a bag; and if you don’t have a sword, sell your cloak and buy one. What this is allowing us to understand, God equips us with what is needed to do his will through our obedience to him.

I’ve spent my entire life trying to live honest according to the teachings of Jesus and all he taught his disciples as written in the scriptures. I’ve been following and listening faithfully to the ones who supposedly called by the Lord as shepherds over his flocks, such as Bishops, Pastors, any leaders of the church. I truly believe that all of them like Jesus disciples after his life death and resurrection, were deserving of trust in their faithfulness to follow through on his will. Sadly enough, but the imperfections of man always shows it’s truth, leaving all of us feeling some how deceived and ever so let down to not trust ever again the institutions of religion (churches). But they are just man, not God, is my realization with their strengths and weaknesses, the frailties of man, which equals to imperfections. Man, to whom the more than ever, we must not put our Faith in, but only God himself.

Forgiveness: “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing, Luke 23:34. “And when you stand praying, if you hold anything against anyone, forgive them, so that your Father in heaven may forgive you your sins.” Mark 11:25. “Then Peter came to Jesus and asked, “Lord how many times shall I forgive my brother or sister who sins against me? Up to seven times? Jesus answered, “I tell you, not seven times, but seventy-seven times.” Matthew 18:21-22. For so many of us we rather in our anguish go to hell, than to forgive someone. Forgiveness is a gift from God to us to pass on to others, like grace.

If Jesus never took credit for anything he has done, all is done through him by the Father. John 5:19, 5:30, 8:28. We also must have that kind of humility, concerning the will of God. Even though Jesus was in the form of God, he emptied himself, (Phil. 2:5-8) and made for a while lower than the angels, became man, (psalm 8:5). He was also under the law,Gal.4:4). That’s the reason we knew according to scriptures he grew in wisdom and stature ( Luke 2:52). Col.2:9 says that in Jesus “dwells all the fullness of the Godhead and bodily form.” Therefore, Jesus is both divine and human in one person. He was a man as well as divine, but the divine nature, like the spirit with flesh so to speak, worked together even with the limitations of humanity (flesh) in order to fulfill the law, and God will. We ourselves can be the same as Jesus by following Jesus.

“It is God’s will be done, not ours.” Jesus surrendered himself to it and we like him, have to now surrender ourselves to Jesus, who’s one with the Father. Your thought has to be in one with Jesus’s. We are not to move until Jesus in us move, we’re not to speak until the voice of Jesus in us speaks, and we’re not to walk until the feet of Jesus in us walks. United together as one, one body, mind and spirit, three in one and one in three. Not of our own individuality and power like so many of us who loves power and control.

The other thing I’ve learned is you don’t always have to be present to do the will of God. It take Faith from wherever you are to send out energy to make the impossible, possible, that’s sometimes the only work we must do. Matthew 8:8 ” The centurion (Roman soldier) answered and said,”Lord, I am not worthy that thou shouldest come under my roof. But speak the word only, and my servant shall be healed.”

You don’t have to necessarily be seen and heard to be glorified by God. Matthew 6:6 “When you pray, go into your closet and when you have shut the door, pray to the Father who is in secret, and your Father who sees in secret shall reward you openly. A lot of people don’t get this, because when they see you blessed and highly favored, they often wondering, why?

It takes obedience and willingness to submit to God’s will by choice, it can really make the difference for our lives as human beings, even with our imperfections.

The universe is to huge for us to truly believe we are alone in it. The earth being one part of the entire universe with so much different race and ethnicities of human beings, animals, the fowl of the air, fish in the sea and whatsoever passes through the paths of the sea, countries from the East, West, North and South of our world. Maybe there’s even places yet to be discovered in our word especially in the deep oceans or even in our highest mountains. It surely be nothing but ignorance to believe that our God, creator of all things here on earth, and a massive universe would be limited.

Made up of connected energies is our universe in which we are all part. Energy can be felt but not seen with the naked eyes. As human there are limitations to what we can see with our naked eyes. We wear glasses to improve problems with our vision. But there’s spiritual vision that can only be attained through fasting, meditation and prayers to connect with the creator to open up our eyes not only to the mysteries of our being, but also of the entire universe and all creations.

I believe strongly that we’re not alone in the universe and that we humans are the aliens not the other way around. Why? Because humanity has yet to evolve. And for us to be evolving has nothing to do necessarily with technology or all the things humanity is now accomplishing scientifically, but spiritually with wisdom, knowledge, understanding and discipline of the weakness of the flesh. We are still stuck in or sins, the very thing that is holding us back. We have free will and is not wise enough to take advantage of using it for good. If only we’d be obedient to God and stop being a magnet for negative energies, all the impossible would be possible, the unseen would be seen and our deaf ears will definitely hear all that the Lord is saying to us.

No rest and no peace the continuing fight to get through this pandemic. Business had to finally closed couldn’t afford another temporary closer, work from home for those who can, lots of job losts, more school closers, stay at home warnings, no social gathering, line ups again for grocery shopping, shopping centers closed, more cases is confirmed and hospital ICU filling up with covid-19 patients and the list goes on.

“How much more can we take?” Is the cry. People looked to the vaccine as a fast cure back to normalcy, but the set back still hit hard in the midst of receiving it. We’re in the third wave with new variants, Lord have mercy on us.

In biblical times we’d be calling these days famine, a great drought. The only thing we can do is to Faith it through these difficult times. People are frustrated, drained tired and mentally fatigued with this pandemic including myself as a faithful person. But we’ve being living carefree for so long, taking it for granted. Now we all have to suck it up, be strong and faithful knowing that this too shall pass. It is so hard, but this is nothing compared to what our ancestors had to endure before we got so intelligent after Jesus came.

Jesus Christ is real Royalty, with wealth, class, privilege and more, but yet, he flaunt it not. Royalty and sovereignty with so much love and humility for man kind, who wouldn’t want Jesus to be our earthly king? Yet no man has ever curtsy or bow down to honor him. No man or woman on earth is worthy or can be compared. Why? Because none of them will be willing to sacrifice themselves even unto death with all humility, to come down of there throne, especially as humans with our, pride and prejudices, to become one with the people, their subjects or even walk along side them, like Jesus.

“Be in the world, but not of it.” That’s me! I couldn’t have found myself interested in earthly royalties simply because in my heart and mind I feel they do nothing for humanity beside looking down on their fellow man as though they’re some how above them. I don’t believe they understand their position where God is concern in their lives, especially the monarch who believe themselves to be based on the foundation of the church of God. They are more like pagans kings and queens, if they had anything to do with the God then their truth shall shine not lies. They are not true to themselves how can they be true others. Protocols and traditions, they are like the Old Testament of the Bible, stuck and want to keep their people stuck with them. No freedom just a stiff neck self absorb, selfish and egotistical bunch of snobs. They act like they don’t, urinate, poop, eat, sleep, have any kind of emotions, like robots some kind of automatic controlled being. Hiding their true reality as being humans, to convey something more like a fantasy for all who has imaginations. Sad, so very sad. All they have to do is be normal and imperfect like all regular people.

Jesus was true to himself as he was to all humanity. He hid nothing from us about who he was by opening up himself to humanity from the day of his birth to the prophecy of it. I believe the truth that should of set us free with the wisdom, knowledge and understanding, set some free, but not all of us. Some of us is bound by the truth. When Jesus revealed himself to the entire world, he was dead already, without showing off his power and authority, he willingly submit himself into being a servant to us, a slave for our sins and a sacrifice to deliver us. How many human kings or queens will be willing to do the same. When everything they portray as being normal is just an act for the cameras and publicity stunt. All that glitters is not good or diamonds and don’t judge the book by its cover; all theses saying applies to them, what a shame!

Not one, not one is worthy from the first God chosen king in the Bible, Saul who had proven such unworthiness from the beginning until Jesus. There’s only one who took up the cross and follow Jesus, the one real true royalty I’ve known, “Lady Diana,” who changed the world’s perspective of royalty. Through her humility, innocent, truthful and pure childlike personality; like Jesus they stripped her of everything and nailed her to the cross, metaphorical, but yet she revealed her true self also when she died. Her true self is God being shown through her love and acts of kindness and hardship she endured. Her life like Jesus was one of service and sacrifice, even being hated and rejected by the one she loved and family.

The Lord light continued to shined through her like Jesus and we the world embraced the light and fell in love. It shined even it’s brightest at her passing, leaving those like Jesus’s hater to say, “truly she was a blessing from God to the world and for their country.” Her light keeps on shining even now as a reminder concerning the monarch, they were lost and hopefully now found through her just like the light of Jesus in our world today with all the despair it’s going through.

Are you hungry for food and thirsty for drink? Jesus prepares a table for us all to sit and eat with him.

I was in what looked like a forest and I began to hear singing and music so I followed it and as I drew nearer, a little friendly baled head African boy child about seven years old suddenly appeared, grabbed my hand and said, “the master is waiting on you, come on, hurry!” as held my hands pulling me. He opened a gate made out of freshly cut wood. He allowed me to go in all by myself and then the music and singing stopped. Appeared behind me was a scruffy looking bearded man with a rod in his hand, with long black curly hair like locks. He reminded me of Moses from the movie The Ten Commandments. I couldn’t help but to think at first he definitely was John the Baptist. He looked so humble and spoke quietly as he said, “ ten years has been along time to wait, but now you’re here and I am going to take you to the four corners of the world.” Before I can complete my thought as to what’s the four corners of the world meant? He quietly said, “ east, west, north and south.” Not another word, he spoked after that. All he did as I watched him prepared us both something to eat. I was fasting and praying, and trust me without even saying a word some how I felt he knew how hungry I must of been.

I it was Jesus not John the Baptist, after some meditation and praying. Why Jesus? I searched the Bible and the only person that fit the description was Jesus, “ The Lord’s My Shepherd.” The reason for my fasting and praying was to draw nearer to the Lord for guidance and protection in my life and a closer walk with him to try and understand the meaning of life. The table was set and prepared by a beautiful stream of water. I can remember and it looked and felt like paradise. I was surrounded by peace and tranquillity. I didn’t want to leave, but then I woke up. And like in Psalm twenty-three says, “He leaded me besides still waters, he restores my soul. Thou prepare a table before me.” That’s exactly what he had done. I remembered eating fish and rice freshly prepared and drinking water that quenched my thirst. My conscious thought lead me to believe I started off my journey in my dream with Psalm 23.

There’s no excuse nor reason that can be given for any humans treating other human beings in an inhumane way, regardless of race, religion, skin color, etc. We are all human beings with our strengths and weaknesses. What is it going to take for us to realize this, an alien invasion from another planet? The Holocaust if had not documented by film I am pretty sure no one would have ever believe such an atrocity ever happened.

We must remember the Holocaust, remember the cruelty of humanity towards one another. Let it break our hearts and mind so badly that history like this never ever happens again. When looking to understand the working of the devil which is pure evil, remember the Holocaust, slavery, racism; any kind of cruelty towards each other. It is hypocritical of any of us who has experienced such treatment in one way or the other of cruelty and evil and don’t recognize when we ourselves the hurting, can also hurt others.

The Holocaust is proof that racism has to do with fear. Hitler was afraid of the Jewish people, he felt they were a threat to his plans of world domination.

Will is a powerful thing, put it together with Faith and all things are possible. Matthew 17:20 Jesus said, “Truly I tell you, if you have Faith like a grain of mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘move from here to there,’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.”

Hebrew 11:1, Now Faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not see. Will: to want or to choose, to cause something to happen through force of desire.

I can’t help but believe the life we are living is the consequences of decisions we’ve made. Whether good or bad we have the ability to change the course of our lives. But it require a determination of Faith and will. God, to whom we are created in the image of, and we have certain abilities like. God created the world from nothing and our lives like an empty pages of a book by us living we beginning to fill the pages. He has already given us ninety-five percent of the work completed for life the other five percent is our free will to live accordingly to all he desires. With freedom of choice comes the responsibility also for others, so whatever decision we make concerning ourselves, we should always take this in consideration. Like a domino effect one bad move and everything connected to life itself can come thumbing down.

Faith and good will! A lot of us has will but most of the time it leads to bad through our weakness, sin.

You’d think that I’m speaking about some kind of intoxication like alcohol or a drug high. I am speaking about a spiritual high. Now that fasting season has come to a close and I am able to eat, my flesh feels heavy and sluggish when before I felt like I was flying. The best way to describe the feeling is my feet was not touching the ground. Clarity of mind, body and spirit came over me like being in oneness with the Lord. The fears, doubt and hopelessness that once incapacitated me had been lifted.

The enemy in me was me. I found out throughout my praying and fasting that food is a weight to the flesh and a obstacle to the spirit. The body needs food for nourishment and without it the body would die; like water, fluid, it is a necessity for us. Food is the bodies fuel for energy and drink for hydration. We can’t fool ourself to believe other wise, God created us that way from the beginning of time, Genenis 2:16 And the Lord God commanded the man, saying, of every tree of the garden you may eat freely. I believe fasting and praying take us in a different realm, being in the world but not of it. You get connected to a higher consciousness, tapping into that oneness with the Lord. It’s a sacrifice and discipline of the flesh. Matthew 17:21 Jesus healed the boy that way possessed by demons his disciples couldn’t. He said, “howbeit this kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting.” (KJV)

What’s going on in the world today needs an spiritual  intervention that can only be attained through fasting and prayers. When the earth is some how being disrupted by the atmosphere is doesn’t affect humanity as much as when it comes from it’s inner core or both. It takes a century for both to begin to affect us humanity and that’s what’s happening today. There’s a vibration we all feel in our mind, body and soul when it concerns the earth core and an never ending echo of the selient sound of change, evolution taking place. The sound is so loud that it effect the mind mentally.

Fasting and praying is a weapon also against the enemy.

Matthew 27:50-53  And when Jesus had cried out again in a loud voice, he gave up his spirit. At that moment the curtain of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom. The earth shook, the rock split and the tombs broke open. The bodies of many holy people who had died were raised to life. They came out of the tombs after Jesus resurrection and went into the holy city and appeared to many people.

“What can wash away our sins? Nothing but the blood of Jesus!” Jesus’s blood is as important to us today as it was back then. Matthew 26:28 “For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins. This verse in the scriptures verifies the blood of Jesus important to us all. Jesus the sacrificial lamb for our sins.

His resurrection after Calvary was as important today as it was back then. Why? Because Jesus resurrection fulfilled his mission for humanity, we no longer can fear death as the wages of sin. Death has now became our a salvation, we can enter into eternity through faith in Jesus. Also trusting and believing that one day we’ll be united with our loved ones who passed away. Jesus resurrection allows for us all the hope of heaven, that when we do die, we return to the Father. The breath of life, ours spirit like Jesus is committed into the hands of our heavenly Father.

Jesus taught the disciples in life as well as his death, God kingdom come and His will be done. And through the lessons learnt that has been passed down through the scriptures and the other comforter, Spirit of truth, lest we forget. Resurrection is the fulfillment of God love, will and desire for humanity. If Jesus had remained dead the seed of life would have cease to exist for all of humanity.

Resurrection is proof that life continues to go on, not even death can stop it.

John 20:17 Jesus said unto her, “Touch me not, for I am not yet ascended to my Father.” But didn’t he also said on the cross, “into they hands I commit my spirit, Father” Luke 23:46.

Matthew 12:40 “For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the whale’s belly, so shall the Son of Man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth. Jesus saying to God his spirit is committed into his hands, what could it mean? Was the writer of the story of him on the cross, wanted us the readers to envision his life, breath, going back to God? Or was Jesus at that time giving up his entire being to God to finish in death through him what he started in life. He predicted he was going to be in the heart of the earth. We know his body was in the tomb and his spirit in God’s hands. It can only mean one thing, no longer about Jesus being half man and divinity. God was completely in control from this point.

As I prayed and asked for the wisdom, knowledge and understanding of Jesus words, ” Touch me not” Why would Jesus say such a thing? He said such a thing because he was all powers, lots of energy radiating from him. One touch and it can kill. Scripture declares we fight not against flesh and blood, but against powers and principalities, spiritual wickedness in high places, in which Jesus presence over came in life. Jesus raised from death to life, especially under the circumstances of his death being a sacrifice for all our sins. What a burden he took upon himself, our sins. We all know if he had to battle the devil in life what even a greater battle it must of been in death. He took the sting out of death, he fought and he won the victory, the devil lost. The wages of sin is death, but through Jesus we have everlasting life.

Jesus couldn’t be touched until purification.
