THE FAMILY

Believers in the blood sacrifice of Jesus Christ ARE "The Family," 2.5 billion members strong worldwide!

"And he [Jesus] answered them, saying, Who is my mother, or my brethren? And he looked round about on them which sat about him, and said, Behold my mother and my brethren! For whosoever shall do the will of God, the same is my brother, and my sister, and mother." ​Mark 3:33-35

Heavenly father, let Your Words and Your Will always be mine, and not my own, and let Your children with ears to hear, hear. In Jesus' name. Amen.

I began writing this blog at the beginning of April 2022, but to tell you the truth, I have not felt much like writing, not that God hasn't tried though. Someone said something the other day, and it made me realize that I am not afraid; I am not worried; I KNOW God will not forsake me.

The problem is I am waiting for something. Instead of living in the present, in His current victories, and having faith in His promises, I am waiting for His promises.

The Bible does not tell us to wait! Jesus tells us to go forth and preach His Word, and confirm it with signs:

Mark 16

15 "And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.

16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.

17 And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;

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.

19 So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God.

20 And they went forth, and preached every where, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following. Amen."

Jesus is saying that these signs will follow anyone who believes, not just His apostles: 

• We shall cast out devils;
• Speak with new tongues;
• Take up serpents;
• No deadly thing we drink shall hurt us; and,
• We shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.

Who knew? Those are some pretty tall orders, and they are available to each and every one of God's Children, believers in the blood sacrifice of Jesus Christ. We may not perform, or even see, a lot of these signs right now, but we will very soon.

As I have said many times, God is pouring out His Spirit into the hearts of His Chosen, and they are awakening en masse to the Power of God and the blood of Jesus Christ.

​Where there is Light, however, there is also darkness, for a time. 

The morning of May 26, as I was reading the Bible, the Holy Spirit gave me discernment of the following scripture, as it relates to current events:

Matthew 12

43 "When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walks through dry places, seeking rest, and finds none.

44 Then he says, I will return into my house from whence I came out; and when he is come, he finds it empty, swept, and garnished.

45 Then goes he, and takes with himself seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter in and dwell there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first. Even so shall it be also unto this wicked generation."

In verse 43, the unclean spirit represents all of the demons possessing men today, mostly men in leadership around the world, but also many other abominations affecting society today.

"Man" in v. 45 represents mankind.

So, all unclean spirits in the world right now are being cast out, and they will roam, seeking rest, and find none.

In verse 44, because this is not yet the end, after a period of time, those spirits will come back, and find the world empty (of demon spirits), swept (clean by believers in the blood of Jesus Christ, The Family), and garnished (with crowns of glory).

And, finally, in verse 45, those unclean spirits will each bring seven other spirits more wicked than themselves, and the last state of mankind will be worse than the first.

This Word is in line with God's Words to me in these blogs for the last three years. Destruction is coming, but God's Children who listen to, and obey, Him will be saved.

I felt compelled to follow through and finish this blog this morning, June 9, when I read the following article on Business Insider:

Who and what to believe, and, oh, what a tangled web they weave.

What does all of this have to do with "The Family"? Everything.

Something God began putting heavy on my heart around the beginning of April 2022 is "The Family." 

Seeing more people at church recently, even if short-lived, was such a blessing, and an answer to prayers. I realize, however, that what God said last year, that people would be looking for Him, is here, right now! What are people looking for exactly? The Family.

Think about it: We are in The Family of Christ. Our Family is 2.5 billion members strong worldwide. 

Jesus tells us that we are all a member of the body of Christ, and each member needs the other members to function. For example, if we were all ears, then we would not be able to see, taste, touch, walk, think, et cetera. We are all a member of The Family of Christ, and we need each other like a flashlight needs batteries to shine its light.

Birth families are more divided than ever now, because God is literally separating the wheat from the chaff, and He is making it clear on which side everyone stands. People are searching for The Family that they do not have any longer as a result of this separation; they are searching for a connection with the members of the body of Christ, The Family that is 2.5 billion strong.

Having been alienated from my birth family for many years, I can remember saying, even recently, that I have no family. This simply is not true. Jesus tells us to love The Family (in Christ) first, and then everyone else, as if they were ourselves. 

Who is our family? Jesus said His family were those who believed in Him, the body of Christ, The Family, 2.5 billion members, who are emptying, sweeping, and will be wearing those crowns of glory when the demon spirits return sevenfold!  Matthew 12:43-45 above. 

We are the batteries (2.5 billion) that will make God's (flash)light shine!

Be prepared by charging your batteries now with the Word of God Ephesians 6:11-24, prayer, and The Family. 

“Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and shew thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not.” Jeremiah 33:3

Hallelujah! Praise God. Thank you, Jesus. Amen. Amen. Amen.
