The phrase “ye are gods” has caused much confusion in the Body of Christ because many have interpreted it through the spirit of pride, mysticism, or human exaltation instead of through covenant and Kingdom order. Psalm 82:6 KJV says, “I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High.” In this passage, God was speaking to earthly judges and rulers who had been entrusted with delegated authority to govern and judge on His behalf. The term does not mean they were divine beings equal with God, but rather representatives carrying responsibility under God’s sovereignty as we leaders do today. This is why the same chapter rebukes them for injustice and reminds them, “ye shall die like men.” The Scripture is not elevating man into deity; it is confronting those who carried authority without righteousness. The Kingdom of God has always been about stewardship under divine authority, never independence from God. When Jesus referenced this passage in John 10:34, He was responding to religious leaders accusing Him of blasphemy after He declared His unity with the Father. Christ was not teaching that humanity is inherently divine; He was exposing their misunderstanding of Scripture. If those who received the Word of God under the Old Covenant could be called “gods” in the sense of delegated authority, how much more could Jesus Christ, the sanctified Son sent from Heaven, reveal His true divine identity? This is the distinction the church must understand. Believers are not gods in essence, power, or sovereignty. There is only one true and living God. However, hear me clearly, through Christ we are restored into sonship, spiritual authority, and Kingdom representation. We carry His Spirit, reflect His image, and function as ambassadors of Heaven in the earth, but all authority flows from submission to Him and never from self-exaltation. The danger comes when people separate authority from surrender and begin embracing doctrines that glorify humanity rather than Christ. This is why I take a strong stand against false doctrine and false humility. We cannot allow people, especially prophets to pretend to speak God words without transformation. I will never partner with this demonic agenda. Satan’s deception in Eden was rooted in independence: “ye shall be as gods.” But the Gospel does not make us independent from God; it reconciles us back to Him. True Kingdom authority is not found in self-deification but in obedience, humility, and alignment with the Holy Spirit. Jesus Himself modeled this when He said, “The Son can do nothing of himself.” If Christ walked in dependence upon the Father, how much more should we? The church must reclaim apostolic balance in this hour. We are called to operate in dominion, discernment, power, and spiritual authority, but always as yielded vessels under the Lordship of Jesus Christ. The revelation of “ye are gods” is not about becoming God at all, it is about redeemed humanity properly representing the God whose image we were created to carry. Lord make us one even as you and the Father are one. I hope this helps. Be Blessed!

What do you consume the most? Scripture makes a bold statement about our desires and why we consume so much that reflects our true heart and not just our words. “What god reigns in your belly?” The apostle Paul warned of those “whose god is their belly” in Philippians 3:19. Belly speaks beyond appetite for food; it represents a nature within driven by cravings, desires, self-will, lust, ambition, comfort, ego, and the need to remain in control. Whatever rules your appetites will eventually rule your decisions. Many struggle to fully submit to God because there are still rival gods sitting on the throne of the heart such as the god of self-sufficiency, the god of money, the god of image, the god of manipulation and control, and the god of pride. But the danger of pride is that it seduces people into believing they are their own provider, protector, and source. They regulate and determine what God is allowed to have theirs such as time, money, and resources and he just watches in silence. Yet, God will sometimes allow what you built in your own strength to shake so you can discover that He alone is Jehovah Jireh. The Lord will NOT compete with idols fashioned out of fleshly security. Sometimes losing control is the very doorway to trusting God completely. You cannot seduce God because he has everything but you can be seduced because fear holds tightly while love cannot be love until its freely given away. This call of the Spirit of God is not merely behavior modification; it is total surrender. James 4:7 declares, “Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.” Notice the order: submission comes before resistance. Many want authority over demonic warfare while refusing surrender to God and this is never going to happen. True spiritual authority flows from yielding everything over to God. When the belly no longer reigns, the Holy Spirit can rule. When self learns to decrease, Christ increases. God is calling believers to lay every idol on the altar and declare, “Lord, not my will, but Yours be done.” The enemy loses power when pride loses influence. What reigns in your belly will determine what manifests in your life. Therefore, starve the flesh, crucify pride, feed the Holy Spirit with the Word of God and prayer, and let God sit on the throne without competition. It’s time to Pass Inspection. And to all of our Mother's Happy Mother's Day!

There are seasons when God hides His people in darkness, not to abandon them, but to preserve them. Psalms 18:11 declares, “He made darkness his secret place; his pavilion round about him were dark waters and thick clouds of the skies.” Sometimes darkness is not the absence of God but the camouflage of God. The Lord will conceal His next move beneath shadows so the enemy cannot trace His hand. What looks like obscurity to man is often divine strategy in the Spirit. Before creation emerged, darkness covered the face of the deep in Genesis 1:2, yet God was already moving upon the waters. God has always done some of His greatest works in hidden places. Joseph was hidden in a prison before he was revealed in a palace. Moses was hidden in the backside of the desert before confronting Pharaoh. Jesus was hidden in the tomb before resurrection power shook the earth. Even seeds are buried in darkness before they break forth in life. Do not despise the hidden season. Darkness can become the incubation chamber of divine purpose. God will sometimes withdraw you from visibility because exposure too early can destroy what Heaven is developing. The enemy attacks what he can detect, so God will often shroud His chosen vessels until the appointed time. Therefore, if God has hidden you, do not mistake concealment for rejection. Heaven may be masking you because your next assignment carries too much weight for premature exposure. The same God who hides also reveals. And when God brings you forth, no devil, no witchcraft, no opposition, and no fleshly resistance will be able to stop what He has ordained. What God conceals in darkness, He unveils in glory.

Minister Iesha is the one to credit this post. I thoroughly enjoyed this teaching. So, the First Epistle of Peter 5:6-7 reminds us that humility is not weakness; it is divine alignment. “Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God” is an invitation from God to become submitted under the government of Heaven so God Himself can establish, defend, and exalt you in due season. Your due season is inevitable when you are humbled and submitted to the Father. This sounds simple, but I know for a fact that some people are so prideful they would never admit to the magnitude of this seducing spirit called pride in which they live. The enemy wants you striving in your own strength, anxious about timing, and burdened by the pressures of life, but the Spirit of God is calling you into surrender. There is a difference between being delayed and being prepared. God’s mighty hand is NEVER against you it is upon you, shaping your character, purifying your motives, and teaching your will (human spirit) how to trust Him completely. In the apostolic sense, humility is submission to the will, word, and process of God, because elevation without surrender produces rebellion and that is witchcraft. “Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you” reveals the true heart of the Father toward His people. The word “casting” implies a deliberate transfer. You cannot expect to withdraw from an account you never set up! When did you tell God I surrender all my emotional burdens, hidden fears, tormenting thoughts, and the weight of tomorrow that I have carried in pride. Father, please forgive me! I need you to HELP me! Prophetically, this is a season where many believers must release the burden of self-preservation and return to radical dependence upon God. Anxiety speaks the language of control, but faith speaks the language of surrender. The Lord is saying, “Place it in My hands and allow My peace to govern your heart.” Every care you release becomes room for greater grace, greater clarity, and greater spiritual strength. It’s time to grow and elevate. The more I heard Minister Iesha say elevate I could interpret that as Heaven saying I am not ignoring your tears; the Father is deeply attentive to every battle, every prayer, and every silent cry. Just partner with Ruach HaKodesh.

Before God ever sends someone out, He first works inward. The Kingdom of God is always “inside out” and never “outside in.” We live in a generation fascinated with platforms, titles, microphones, attention, and visibility, but Heaven is still concerned with purity, alignment, and transformation. God does not anoint dysfunction to represent Him publicly because He is not desperate. He cleanses whom He calls because whatever remains unhealed, unsubmitted, or uncrucified inwardly will eventually manifest outwardly. Jesus told His disciples in Luke 17:21 KJV, “behold, the kingdom of God is within you.” Before the Kingdom can move through your hands, it must first govern your heart. Before your voice carries authority publicly, your spirit must first bow privately. God will always deal with the vessel before He pours out the oil. The prophet Isaiah experienced this divine order in Isaiah 6. Before he was commissioned, he was cleansed. Before he could say, “Here am I; send me,” he first cried, “Woe is me! for I am undone.” The coal touched his lips before the commission touched his destiny. Heaven understands that anything sent out prematurely can misrepresent the nature of God. Moses spent forty years in the wilderness before confronting Pharaoh. Paul disappeared into Arabia before emerging apostolically. Even Jesus, though sinless, went through consecration, baptism, and wilderness testing before public ministry. Why? Because God is not merely trying to produce gifted people; He is forming accurate representatives of His Kingdom. The Lord knows that charisma without character becomes corruption, power without purity becomes deadly, and influence without inner transformation creates spiritual distortion. This is why God sometimes isolates you before He elevates you. The crushing, pruning, conviction, and refinement are not rejection; they are preparation. John 15 declares that every branch that bears fruit, He purges it so it may bring forth more fruit. God cleanses motives, heals wounds, confronts pride, breaks rebellion, and uproots mixture because He refuses to allow His Glory to flow through contaminated altars. The Kingdom is misrepresented when people speak for God without being shaped by God. But when the Holy Spirit transforms a believer from the inside out, their life becomes a witness of Heaven’s nature. Their words carry weight, their love reflects Christ, and their authority flows from intimacy rather than performance. In this hour, God is not just sending people with messages, He is sending transformed vessels who embody the message they preach. Don’t seek attention seek his presence and when you make it there you will find real joy and at His right hand there are pleasures evermore.
