The Lord has asked me to share this email that I sent to a brother in Christ who had reached out to me about his life, as well as testimony and questions; as it would benefit all of his body. Personal details have been removed, and thus, adjusted for all. I pray it benefits you deeply in Christ Jesus. We don’t always have the time or means to answer as fully as this; but when we do— he will desire it to go abroad in a blog post.
God bless you all in your journey with the Way, the Truth, and the Life of Jesus Christ.

Hello dear,
You are very welcome for the ministry channel. The Lord asked me to create a channel for his ministry several years back— so that he could minister to his people through my vessel. I do the best that I can to hear him out about what he's desiring of my transformation and conversion, as he returns me to alignment with him in Spirit and truth; and then turn and freely give it out to his body in the earth. He is so very precious to my inner man— and my desire is that many more should come into the knowledge of him in their very own lives, as well. The blog is for the purpose of those who choose to read— versus listen, as well as to print out these words and teachings he brings forth: many people learn in various ways, some audibly and some visually; and so he desires for both avenues of ministry. It takes a bit of time— but I truly benefit from seeing it all written out in front of me; and I am sure others do as well.
I am so sad to hear (though it is the truth almost everywhere) that there was no discipleship for you when you were desperately in need (via man); because they have not come all the way through, or into, the life of the Messiah (the Word of God) yet themselves. But the beauty is that he is always enough, alone, if he must be without a vessel to use. He will always find a way.
Yes— he will use many avenues and even secular things (programs) to get our attention in what he is offering unto us; but, as you know, he will eventually turn us away from all the secular has to offer— into a relationship with him and him alone, in his word, Spirit, truth, power, and dominion. Because programs and secular counseling and such will only take us to his face and be confronted with ‘some’ truth. But when we truly turn to his Word (person) we are then set free (by Jesus and his truth), by upholding him within.
It's beautiful that your heart has returned to first love— that is of the utmost importance; because it is there the salvation process begins ‘in truth;’ where truth becomes alive within us as we give ourselves to him for real in authenticity, effort, will, heart, soul, mind, and consecration. Yes— he will begin a reformation process (rebuilding us on a proper inner foundation in him, the truth, and his righteousness); it's truly the entire goal: to return us to himself in all ways. I am well pleased to hear you are serving him in the earth in whatever way of ministry(s) he has called you to. It's vitally important in this time. And YES— he will use every bit of our testimonies of what we have come through and out of— when we will allow him to rule us, change us, save and redeem us to the utmost.
What are my thoughts on renewing the mind? Well I just released a video yesterday speaking on its importance; in fact our salvation is rooted in it. Without the 'change of mind,' and its renewal process— I am convinced a man still is in need of salvation in Christ Jesus/the Word of God (the Fuller’s soap), for what has he been saved of? I truly believe we are 'being' saved/rescued (an ongoing process of staying in alignment with the Spirit of God, his truth, way, and life) on a continual basis: not a one and done; which is why some will ‘fall away,’ in the great falling away; if it were not so— he would not have said so. Christ being given once and for all— but an 'upholding' of him within, in the mind, will, and emotions— on a daily basis, continually— is required; and hence— why his mercies are new every morning for this purpose: continual realignment within, daily, and in all circumstances. I'm not sure beyond that what you are referencing with mind renewal: but yes— without mind renewal we have no repentance; for it is in the definition of repentance: change of thinking.
G3341 - repentance
Greek: μετάνοια
Transliteration: metanoia
Pronunciation: met-an'-oy-ah
Definition: From G3340; (subjectively) COMPUNCTION (for guilt--- INCLUDING REFORMATION [this is the change and renewal, put this mind on you which was also in Christ Jesus]); by implication REVERSAL.
I pray you have an amazing encounter with his way, truth, and life: and that you would come to know him even more deeply in all his unseen, supernatural ability to save and reconcile us (align us with himself) to the uttermost (deep and profound depths of the inner man). I will pray for you to release your will to him, your strength to him (to stop striving and couple with him in his will), and to soften to his headship in your life (stop fighting against him). His desire is to recover you to himself— not just to discipline us for the sake of discipline alone: it's to recover us unto himself so that we are living with him as one joined to his will, way, truth, life, and headship (lordship/fatherhood) over us (and hence— live with him forevermore where he is, in heavenly places in Christ Jesus): the discipline is meant to free us into his embrace and likeness— and to recover us into oneness again, no more separation; but now— unity in righteousness, truth, and the way of the King and kingdom of God. We do struggle— but with Christ Jesus all things are possible in him, to come through the temptations (he will always make a way out), and to overcome: for he strengthens us in himself to do so: meaning— he's present, and present help in the time of trouble to help us accomplish the victory over temptation to live life apart, or opposite of him, his way, and will, truth, and righteousness.
1 Corinthians 10:13
"There has been no temptation that has taken you, but what is common to (all) man (men, we all are tempted): but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above what you are able (to overcome); but will with the temptation also —make a way to escape— that you may be able to bear it (the trial, and succeed, with effort to resist the devil and his temptations of thinking, reasoning, and behavior)."
Romans 8:37
"... we are more than conquerors through him that loved us."
Philippians 4:13
"I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me."
Psalm 46:1
"God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble."
I, myself, struggle with the 'middle of the road,' or fence riding, one foot in the world, one foot in the Lord Jesus Christ/truth —people, too. They are grievous to the Spirit and my spirit, not just because they yet perish; but because they do not 'see' the Lord Jesus Christ in truth, nor have it/him erect inside of them to the extent that they become saved of the estrangement and sin ways— and thus perish. Their pride is like sandpaper, yes— but it's more than that in which grieves me; it's that they will not come home to us through a complete change around and renewal inside to uphold the LORD Jesus and his truth and righteousness— to the point it is 'developed, he is developed—’ in them: hence— this process is reformation in Christ Jesus, and unto Christ Jesus and his righteousness being fulfilled in his true called out ones (church).
Be patient with yourself, be patient with the church— yes; but speak boldly the truth in love: for it is only through a radical encounter with the Messiah, the Word of God, and the Good Shepherd in his truth and love— that a sinner shall be set free; should they desire to repent (be renewed) and be saved from the error: this is salvation in Christ Jesus. When he comes— he has a workmanship to fulfill in us all— through his Holy Spirit, way, truth, and person.
Well, yes, I do pray in the Spirit and war often; but I don't know that people understand what that means exactly. It means you are fighting the good fight within your heart, mind, will and emotions, beliefs, and reasoning on a continual basis— staying in alignment with the Holy Spirit, the way, the truth, and person of Jesus Christ— and being led of him in all things: that is true spiritual warfare: where the Lord and you meet at the place that enemy desires to lead you away in seductions to do things, believe things, think things— apart from him and his truth and way. Spiritual warfare comes about when we are led astray by the lusts of our flesh nature. The temptation to walk apart from him (a different way, not in union with him as one) comes to us; and whether or not we give into doubt, unbelief, shame, laziness, pride, or feeding the flesh nature, the selfishness, or the ways of hell— in any aspect. The devil comes to steal— that means we have something he desires to take away from our union with God— and replace it with something else in us, that will destroy something of our union with our righteous God, and kill our spiritual life in union with God within.
What other kind of warfare is there but the warfare that is on for our minds, hearts, wills, emotions, and union with God?
Praying 'in the Spirit,' is not just praying in tongues (or languages) it's praying in union with the Holy Spirit of God himself, in the way, the truth, and in the life of Jesus Christ. Yes— I do that often, daily, hourly, and maintain a right standing with him— especially where a temptation arises to walk or abide apart from him (at a distance, in some trouble within).
You said that someone told you to rest in the victory Jesus has attained, as he is Lord over all. I rest in that I have him who has won the victory in himself— and I abide in there, with him. I recall all he has given me in him— and that if I will exalt him, the truth, and the kingdom of God's rule within me, align with him, and come out from sin and death; then the victory in Christ Jesus will reign in my members (person, mind, will, emotions, inner man), too. It is not speaking things out that causes devils to obey or cease and desist (obey): it is TRUTH UPHELD WITHIN THAT DOES: and he's a person, a way, and the truth (in statutes and precedent, himself). When the person (Jesus/Word of God), the truth, and way are upheld (exalted within) —then the victory, the overcoming is achieved— and the things we call 'warfare' —end.
1 John 5:4-5
"For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith. Who is he who overcomes the world, but he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?"
When he says born of God— that is the Spirit reigning within us (his), and his way, truth, and person: this is what is known as ‘to come through repentance’ (total change around in our thinking— renewal of mind, which leads to actions of faith— faith WITH works meet with repentance coming forth); and in this— we overcome the world: the world spirit, ways, and kingdom (true warfare and victory achieved). By what? Our faith, which in Strong's concordance means— Our true profession and credence, to uphold the truth and Jesus Christ, with fidelity: these are required; but with these given— profession and credence UPHELD (covenant acknowledgment), the truth and Christ Jesus himself— VICTORY IN HIM IS ASSURED OVER THE WORKS OF DARKNESS —that otherwise was reigning in our lives. Why? Because we believe on the Son of GOD: he is reigning supreme and high above all other entities, their ways, and their kingdoms: that's us in a carnal nature, our carnal nature ways— sin and death reigning in our members, and that kingdom: DEMOLISHED— BY THE COMING OF THE LIGHT: righteousness reigning and being fulfilled in us, through our belief in Messiah, fidelity to him and his ways of righteousness —reigning in us, through repentance (a complete change around in our thinking and ways), as he saves us to the uttermost (aligns us with himself) where 2 who were twain— or apart— are now together as 1 in union: this is salvation to the uttermost, daily, and eternally.
John 16:33
"These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world."
The world, where we have tribulation— within— is the wrong spirit, ways, and kingdom upheld (sin and death); in him— in his person, ways, and kingdom— we shall have peace (godly order restored that demolishes the deeds of darkness), and why? Because 'he' has already overcome the world spirit(s) entirely, and if we are found living from within his life, way, person, kingdom, righteousness, and light— we shall overcome too! Everything else we encounter here is just suffering (which he promised us we would encounter as well); but true tribulation— is the internal shakings of another kingdom still lodged within; and he desires that the both of us (we partnering with him and upholding him and the truth and way) would ‘displace,’ or cast down and out the other kingdom, king/god, and way: leaving only he, his kingdom, way, and his reign— within our members (body, collectively, in the called out from all that other error and spirits of —people).
1 John 4:4
"You are of God, little children, and have overcome them (the spirits and their ways who seek to overcome you in temptations), because— He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world."
We are his hands and feet in the earth (his body, his vessels), but what does that mean in practicality? It means we give our internal structures and faculties, as well as our outward actions that will stem from what is established within— to him, always and forevermore, to have ‘his way(s)’ within us: and then— shall we serve him in the earth (ours, first), and unto a lost generation.
And yes— it is painful to see the traumas and ways in which people do not know the love and power of God to save them from all the entrapments of darkness (including insecurity with Christ Jesus himself, in this world). But is all the reason why, as the remnant working with him, we need to get cleansed and set free ourselves; so that we will THEN be able to assist the others in the flock, or coming into the flock. Getting the truth spread abroad about how to do disciplined (discipleship) relationship with him— in truth and authenticity of, in character alignment, and in surrender and submission— is what will help to set these captives free as we minister to the Lord, and unto them— in the earth: for the Lord has never desired of us to remain trapped in spirits of trauma, or in places of estrangement within ourselves, apart from him: but on the contrary– where the Spirit of the Lord 'is,' where he has been able to 'come in,' in all the dark places within a man's faculties (interior); then is a man set free, and liberated: death to life.
We need these things to be spoken, taught, and empowered of the truth— in the earth, in the church, in the ministry: we have all the ability in Christ Jesus to be fully liberated from all darkness; but the laborers/servants of the Lord are few; and I (and others) have been grieving, travailing, and praying the Lord of the Harvest for more laborers to come into freedom in him, in the truth, and come into maturity of: so that more can be set free in him as well— and the great harvest of souls —out of the kingdom of hell, darkness, sin and death— can come into the fold, flock, family of God— in heaven, light, holiness and righteousness— and become born again in life in Christ Jesus, forevermore; and join the workforce in the earth— who do serve the King and High Priest of our confession/profession.
He's ready (and I have been seeing him doing this already) to do a quick workmanship in people— who will surrender, submit to him and obey his Word, person, way, truth, righteousness and life: and come into holiness— truly setting OUT the darkness that has been found in them, coming into the cleansing of the truth to their vessels, and into the fullness of righteousness being fulfilled in them; as Christ is formed in them. I have been seeing people giving themselves to him in what he is asking; and these people's inner being in real time being transformed, freed, and aligned with him and his will, way, and life— in the earth: it is such a time for this right now. As we are in a time of sober circumspect alignment with him, in trimming our wicks, and filling our lamps with his oil of intimacy, headship, ways of righteousness, truth, and kingship/Lordship over us.
He's calling— and many are coming: and his call is to become holy as he is holy— within their vessels, cleansed, freed, changed, renewed by the truth, reformed, righteousness upheld within and attended to as we attend to the King of Righteousness (which is what Melchizedek means), and all he is asking of us to uphold of him and his kingdom.
Because— if we ‘have’ (retain) repentance— we will have change. If we change with him and in him— we will be serving him in our faculties, mind, will, emotions, vessel; and indeed, then— we no longer serve satan, sin, or death; having annulled that covenant, and indeed— uphold the spiritual marriage covenant with the righteous, holy, one true God: in Jesus Christ, and our Father.

God bless you on your journey with the Lord in heaven and earth, brother.
With heavenly love, sincerely—
