Growing Up into Him: In All Things
Summary
So come on, let’s leave the preschool finger-painting exercises on Christ and get on with the grand work of art. Grow up in Christ. The basic foundational truths are in place: Turning your back on “salvation by self-help” and turning in trust toward God; baptismal instructions; laying on of hands; resurrection of the dead; eternal judgment. God helping us, we’ll stay true to all that. But there’s so much more. Let’s get on with it! (Hebrews 6:1-3 MSG) We are more than our DNA or our upbringing. Never a baby has been born that got past the plan and purpose of Yahweh. If we are here, it is by divine design. If we made it this far, he planned on it. The difference between children and sons is (sons) know who they are in him, and no longer identify with the fictional man. The fictional man is who we became apart from him and one another. (DNA, upbringing, life experiences, etc.) If we were able to become all we were foreordained to be apart from one another in him, we would have done it long ago. My name is Blake Lloyd Higginbotham. It was the name that my mom and dad gave me when I came into the world. It is the name by which people identify me today, but it is not who I am. My identity is not wrapped up in the meaning of my name, the way I was raised, or the sum total of my life experiences. Sonship is our destiny and our inheritance is wrapped up in discovery. Sons have received the full embrace of the father's love and forgiveness. Sons represent the way of the father's heart, by holy spirit. Sons are living out of a finished work and ascended life reality and are ruling from the throne in life, by Messiah Yahshua.

Higher and Higher
Summary
The Life Story of Leonard Wayne If a fictional character were given the life history of Leonard Wayne, few listeners would readily accept him as believable: martial arts instructor, Teamsters enforcer, drug smuggler, truck driver, photographer, pilot, Hollywood stuntman, entrepreneur, and stockbroker. Yet Leonard claims all of these titles, in addition to ex-con. Now, for the first time, Leonard Wayne transparently shares the larger than life details of his journey from an abusive childhood to the triumph of faith and perseverance, a hope-inspiring story of redemption and restoration. My story is unique. I have covered enough illegal and immoral ground for several lifetimes. Abuse throughout my childhood peaked when my own father murdered my mother and then shot himself. My uncles taught me how to fight and to steal. I was an enforcer for the Teamsters, a drug smuggler, a pilot, a Hollywood stunt man, a stock broker, and a millionaire long before I could be considered a mature adult. I also became an alcoholic and a federal inmate. In retrospect, I believe what makes my life different is the intensity, not the substance of my journey. God is trying to speak to every person in a variety of ways. Most, like me for so many years, resist listening. If my life demonstrates anything, it is that he keeps trying, and anyone can start listening any time he’s had enough of the frustration of searching for something he can’t find. I am the special one chosen by the Messiah. But that isn’t the unique part of my story. In God’s eyes, every human being is a special one, chosen for greatness. The question is whether or not you will respond to God’s choice.

The Father's House
Summary
It took 14 generations with a lot of divine orchestration to fulfill the prophecy that Nathan delivered to David in 2 Samuel 7. "Your house and your kingdom shall endure before Me forever; your throne shall be established forever." (2 Samuel 7:1-16, Ref. 1 Chronicles 17:1-15) David was not allowed to build the temple, but Yahweh told him that he would build a house for him. David was a man of war and had blood on his hands, so he was not qualified to build the temple. Solomon was allowed to build the temple and the house of David, but he was warned about keeping his heart right and being a man of integrity like his father before him. Neither of them was qualified to build the Father's house because that responsibility was reserved for Yahshua the Messiah. Yahshua said, "I will build My house and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it." The house that Yahshua is building is his father's house, and it is made up of sons, brothers, and friends who are being established by covenantal relationship, marriage, and family. The Father and the Son have chosen to tabernacle among us by Holy Spirit, and we all have a place at the table in the Father's house. We are sons of the same Father and brothers of the same family. We are one or we are none. We are a part of the house that Yahshua is building, or we are displaced, homeless, and destitute. (Ref. Matthew 16:18-19 ) In order to be qualified to be a part of the Father's house, we have to remember his covenant, walk uprightly and be men and women of integrity. We must be willing to beat our swords into plowshares and work together to build the house that Yahshua has, is, and will continue to build. Working together to build the house the Yahshua has, is, and will continue to build will only come about by understanding that we are the Word incarnate, the embodiment of Messiah, and the glory bringing hope to the worlds in which we live. It will never come about by alienation, isolation, and more religious bigotry. There is no biblical precedent for distinctions, delineations, or divisions of any kind. (Ref. Romans 16:17 - 1 Cor. 1:10 - 1 Cor. 11:18 NASB)
