Expiration Date

It has been my honor and privilege to monthly sound The Good that is being amply poured out from the Father’s Heart to His People. I have been commissioned to awaken the sleeping Christian to the realization that it is not too late to participate in The Great Awakening. Holy Spirit has graciously entrusted us with our part in This Assignment.
  • “Therefore, while the promise of entering His rest still holds and is offered [today] let us be afraid [to distrust it], lest any of you should think he has come too late and has come short of [reaching] it” (Hebrews 4:1 Amplified Bible).

I still recall The Father’s Words in the beginning of this ministry. I desired an active part in whatever He was doing. I had a strong desire to aid Him in impacting His People. He stated, “You have a computer. Use it to inform My People.” He has faithfully given me His Words to announce His Intent.

Beloved, God purposes to have His Way in the earth; it is through us that His Goals will be realized. This letter is one of the many tools chosen to assist Him in demonstrating His Willingness to release His Bountiful Treasures to you. Be a part of His Plan. Receive His Goodness and Pass Him on.

Expiration Date

  • For surely there is a latter end [a future and a reward], and your hope and expectation shall not be cut off” (Proverbs 23:18 Amplified Bible).
  • “For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory; While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal” (2 Corinthians 4:17-18).
  • To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:” (Ecclesiastes 3:1)
  • There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it” (1 Corinthians 10:13).

Let us read 1 Corinthians 10:13 from The Common English Bible. “No temptation has seized you that isn’t common for people. But God is faithful. He won’t allow you to be tempted beyond your abilities. Instead, with the temptation, God will also supply a way out so that you will be able to endure it.
The principle of change is woven throughout the Bible. Your situation is not the exception. All that we perceive (our five senses) was conceived in The Heart of God, The One Who instituted creation’s laws. Creation is rapidly moving towards its Origin in an all out effort to be conformed to God’s Will. “In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth” (Genesis1:1).

Creation has been crying out for the manifestation of The Sons of God. Through The Finished Work of Christ Jesus, we have been changed into the Image of The Invisible God. Creation has anticipated our change, so that it too can enjoy the freedom of the Redeemed. Change is here to stay. Everything around us is changing for the unavoidable good. Your situation cannot resist the inevitable; “...for the things which are seen are temporal...” 

Every temptation, test or trial has an expiration date. I am sure you have read the expiration date on consumable products. That simply means, do not eat or drink it past the posted date. The benefit it had has come to an end. Likewise, any trespass has a purpose to kill, steal or destroy. If its purpose is not fulfilled before its expiration date; the benefits for the assault has been greatly compromised.
Your responsibility is to out last the attack and do not blame God for what you are going through. (See 2 Corinthians 10:4 and James 1:13) While that may seem understated, following these simple instructions is important for your deliverance.

“For because He Himself [in His humanity] has suffered in being tempted (tested and tried), He is able [immediately] to run to the cry of (assist, relieve) those who are being tempted and tested and tried [and who therefore are being exposed to suffering]” (Hebrews 2:18 Amplified Bible).
There is no surprise when you have prior knowledge of the outcome of a sports event. No matter how badly your team may be losing, you still have foreknowledge. Similarly, The Word of God is filled with inside information of your outcome when trials come your way. From The Father’s Vantage Point you win.
The Resurrection of Jesus, as The First Born from the dead, sent a clear message to the enemy of his imminent destruction. Holy Ghost is endeavoring to move us from our ordinary life to The Extraordinary Life in Christ Jesus. You are no mere human being. You are a Supernatural Son of God. You have been granted access to an arsenal of weapons that have unlimited power to suppress whatever is oppressing you. (See 1 John 3:8)

He Changes Not

The only One that does not waver, regardless of circumstances, is The Lord God. He changes not. (See Malachi 3:6) There is no deviation from His Plans and Purposes for you. (See James 1:17) Once Jehovah has made a commitment to you - it is eternal. (See Psalm 89:34) Everyone and everything will acclimate to His Will eventually. Never be concerned, when pressures in life are harassing you, whether or not your Heavenly Father will somehow improvise a way of escape. No! God does not improvise. He has already worked things out for your benefit. Stop worrying and take courage. His Plans are only good for you. (Jeremiah 29:11)

“For we are God's [own] handiwork (His workmanship), recreated in Christ Jesus, [born anew] that we may do those good works which God predestined (planned beforehand) for us [taking paths which He prepared ahead of time], that we should walk in them [living the good life which He prearranged and made ready for us to live]”  (Ephesians 2:10 Amplified Bible).

God announces the end at the beginning. “From the beginning I revealed the end. From long ago I told you things that had not yet happened, saying, “My plan will stand, and I’ll do everything I intended to do.” (Isaiah 46:10 GOD’S WORD Translation) His View is from an everlasting perspective. Surely, since The Father has secured our eternal future, He has already worked out all of the defects for our temporal well being. He has prearranged our lives for good.

You and I have a choice to yield or not to yield to Him. This should not be a major decision. His Thoughts are for our ultimate good and His Plans are for the ages to come. It just keeps getting better...
“They that trust in the LORD shall be as mount Zion, which cannot be removed, but abideth for ever. As the mountains are round about Jerusalem, so the LORD is round about his people from henceforth even for ever” (Psalm 125:1-2).
