WE ARE ONE



Dear One,

Relate to eveyone with whom you come in contact as if he or she were Me. I live in you, I live in them and when we meet we will embrace and glory in the love we share. Do the same with others in whom I live and breathe and have My being, treat them as your closest relative with whom you have your deepest love relationship. That's why people you meet respond so readily to smiles and greetings, it's the part of them that relies upon Me and responds to Me.
I have many temples in the earth, many dwelling places, and they are all inside of people.
Don't spend time noticing the differences in the outward parts of people that might not meet your approval. That part, the flesh, is temporary. The eternal part of people will live eternally with Me, as will you. Enjoy the inner part of all men as your brothers and sisters. They will notice your love and acceptance and repond to those acts of inclusion rather than rebelling against the acts of exclusion from others who do not know the truth.
You are all one body, supplying every need one to another just like I supply every need. I might choose a stranger to meet your needs.

Love, God

DIFFICULT LESSONS



Dear One,
Lessons are so hard to learn and you often slip back into old habits, old activities and old judgmental thoughts. However, when you know the truth relating to the damaging effects of those destructive ways, when you know the complete truth and the truth has set you free, then the temptation to slip back into old injurious habits is less likely because of the lessons you have learned.
I said that I will perfect that which concerns you. That is one reason that I want you to learn the truth about destructive habits, activities and thoughts. They come to rob, steal and destroy you because they are from hell where destruction originated.
My aim in sending My Salvation in the form of the Holy Spirit to live in men was to give you the discipline, the counsel, the teaching and the power to perfect everything that relates to your life.
You strife to attain a rewarding, joyful, exciting life for yourself and your children. Why would you ever entertain the thought that I don't want the same things for you, My children? I do and I want them much more than you do, so we are in complete unity on that.
It is said where two or three agree on earth as touching anything that it will be done by Me. You and I are in agreement for the abundant life for you, so it is established. I can teach you how to attain that goal. It starts with refusing negative thoughts, habits, activities and actions. Then it depends upon your following of My personal guidance through the Holy Spirit. He carries out My desires for you.
Love, God

THOUGHTS, ATTITUDES, ACTIONS



Dear One,

I've been trying to impress upon you that your words are important.
I've been trying to impress upon you that your thoughts are important.
I've been trying to impress upon you that your attitudes are important.
Please don't shortchange yourself by thinking fearful, negative thoughts and don't shortchange yourself by speaking idle, fearful, negative, injurious words. You will inherit the fruit of those thoughts, attitudes and words.
You have authority in the earth over all things, so the words you say will eventually come to pass, maybe not today, maybe not next week, maybe not next month, but the seeds you sow will produce either negative or positive plants, depending upon what you think and say.
The secret to saying only words that bless you and others is to let My Spirit who lives inside of you cue you on what to speak. He will impress upon you to think loving things and speak loving words. He will tell you to speak and think things that bless others, glorifying them and making them feel loved and honored. Then you shall ask anything of Me and it will be done.
You have authority over all diseases and all infirmities and everything that is evil. That authority is yours because of the power of My Spirit.
When you allow My Spirit to speak through you, you will speak firmly your requests and they will be done.
There are spiritual beings ready to perform works in accordance with the words you speak. Destructive spirits wait for you to speak destructive, divisive, angry, hate filled words so that the spirits can boomerang them and curse you as a result.
There are constructive angelic spirits of Mine who wait for you to speak loving, kind, forgiving, faith filled words so that they can act upon your instructions and bless you and others as a result of your good thoughts, attitudes and actions in speaking. They dispense My blessings upon you and others according to your words.
You are in charge of your mind and your mouth. Let their activities always be pleasing in your sight and in My sight so that you will be blessed in every area of your life.

Love, God

NEWNESS OF LIFE



Dear One,

I am your Father. I am your Daddy. I am your Papa. I am your future. I am your life. I have everything necessary for the abundant life and godliness. Godliness allows you to have the elements necessary to become My character image with no negative traits in you which would rob you of any good thing.
I make your path straight but I also provide everything necessary for your happiness.
The key to enjoying My benefits is for you to hear My voice from inside your spirit and that you follow My advice. I have your happiness as My primary function because you are My child.
Every day you must consider all things from the days behind as passed away; and, behold, you must consider all things as new, revitalized, restored and renewed by Me and My Holy Spirit.
Newness of life in every area is My goal for you. .My desire for you is that every day is more enjoyable than the day before. Then you can make every day better than the day before for others. Passing it on is another way of sowing good seeds on good ground.
Let the past be the past and let the future hold My abundant life for you.
Behold I always make all things new.
Love, God

GRACE AND MIRACLES



Dear One,

There are miracles happening which confound the wise where it is completely clear that I am the only one who could have performed the charting and the orchestration to effect the perfect results that have occurred. Usually a part of the scenario is that the attitudes of the participants in the situation have clearly changed and the negative aspects of the situation have become positive. Then it looks like I have made gold out of ashes. I usually have done exactly that. The changes in temperament, attitudes and thinking have accelerated the dramatic appearance of the miracle.
There are also times when grace is so obvious that it astounds the wise. Those times prove that where sin abounds grace does much more abound.
Both instances are hallelujah times, when attitude changes increased the dramatic appearance of miracles and also when My grace overpowers sin and produces a miracle simply because of My grace.
Both are works of grace because the power of My spirit has chased out negative spirits which afflict, rob and destroy.
I said My grace is sufficient. Yes, it is more than sufficient in all instances to produce miracles.

NEEDS, WANTS, DESIRE AND WISHES



Dear One,
Your needs are My needs because I live in you.
Your desires are My desires because I live in you.
Your wants are My wants because I live in you.
If you will consult all of My promises in your Instruction Book, the Bible, you will find that they all relate to some desire, some wish, some want or some need of yours.
All of your prayers for your family are what I want for my family, for you, your children, your relatives and all people. I want the highest and best for all of you, even a million times more than you do.
I give you the gifts of My Spirit, which are My power gifts, to make sure that you have My abilities necessary to inherit all of my promises, that you have health, prosperity, wisdom, revelation knowledge, miracles, peace and joy in your life.
The fact that I give My power gifts to My children should convince you that I want the best of everything for you. Why would I give the power to you to reverse the curses of evil if I did not want you to have the best of everything?
I want the lives of every one of My children to be blessed beyond their deepest desires. Give your hopes and wishes and desires and wants to Me and you will have all the things for which you pray.
Always remember when you pray that I want the best things for you, even more than you want them. When you pray we are in agreement that the best things in life are yours.
Love, God

BIRTHDAY WISHES



Dear One,

Make sure you treat every person you meet like you are glad they are alive, that you celebrate their existence.
If every parent would treat their children as prizes from Me, there would be no dysfunctional families.
If every parent gave wise guidance to their children because they love their children and celebrate their existence there would be no criminal activity.
If every family would provide a firm foundation for their children of love of Me. love of self, and love of others, there would be no envy or jealousy or strife or anger or robbery or stealing.
The commandment I gave to love one another is the basis of all laws. When a person truly loves others, he will celebrate their lives and give respect and deference to them.
Love covers everything. Love gives value to the lives of others. Love is patient,, Love is kind. Love is respectful. Love is merciful. Love is humble. Love is gracious. Love is long suffering. Love is faithful. Love is hopeful. Love is selfless, always preferring to elevate others to a high position of honor.
Love is not boastful. Love is not rude. Love is not jealous. Love is not arrogant. Love is not irritable. Love is not resentful. Love is not selfish.
Love begins by celebrating the existence of others because love is the nature of my children. I am love.
I celebrate your existence every minute of the day. Celebrate the existence of other people by pouring my love upon them.

FAITH, BELIEF AND EXPECTATIONS



Dear One,

People say to each other, "You ain't seen nothing yet," when good things happen.
When you have experienced miraculous results in answer to your prayers and with the power of your faith to receive them, then you should listen carefully because I will be saying, "You haven't seen anything yet." There are more miracles to come, more healings and more situations created to bring solutions to problems in your life and the lives of your loved ones.
Very often you can only expect the small miracles but there are huge ones on the way. There are astounding ones and creative ones and spectacular ones in the works, all for the easing of your life in the earth. They come into your life in response to your expectations, expectations being the entry doors to your life.
Every miracle is easy for My host of angels and Me to perform. The hard part is getting you to expect the highest and best.
You know that I have miracles, miracles and more miracles. I never stop in performing marvelous works for My children.
Give Me free rein and expect perfection. You will have it when you abide in Me and My words abide in you. Then you will ask what you will and it will be done to you.

Love, God

LOVE VESSELS



Dear One,
The soothing, comforting, healing energy that is released by love is visible in the heavens. It is also felt in the earth because it is made up of special celestial elements which produce genuine feelings of validation, well-being, respect, comfort, honor, deference and grace.
Love elevates the person on whom it is poured, giving the person a feeling of being special and being valued.
Love is the strongest source of energy in the world and in the heavens. That is why it is said that it covers a multitude of sins, because it engulfs sin and blocks out the effects of the sin on the person.
I told you that there is power in love. I told you that there is life giving power in love. My love eradicates sin and all its works of failure, defeat, depression, strife and rebellion. Negative attitudes cannot exist when they are baptized in My love.
Let love flow from every cell of your body to everyone you meet. Eventually you will see the effects of it on the recipients. They will be transformed by your love and My love for them. You will receive the greatest dose of love because you have been the vessel of delivery.
Love, God

EXPECTATIONS



Dear One,

Expect the unexpected!
Expect only superior things.
Expect love to meet you everywhere.
Expect joy to engulf you.
Expect perfection in every area of your life.
Open the gates of your life to everything of a superior nature.
Nothing can stop you now except negative expectations.
All of the benefits of My family and My kingdom are at your disposal. Keep love as your aim and you will be astounded at the majesty of your life.
I desire the highest and best life for My children. They are yours already, so expect them to appear as reality.

THE UNIFIER



Dear One,

Your prayers in the Holy Spirit provide the paths of righteousness upon which you walk and other people for whom you pray will walk.
Your prayers in the Holy Spirit make the crooked paths straight and clear the paths in the wilderness upon which you may walk.
Paths can get crooked, blocked and dangerous because of the activities of your spiritual enemies and also because of the negative seeds that you have sown on the road of life. But My prayers in the Holy Spirit instruct the angels to make straight those paths and clear them for your easy access to the good things of life.
I am your shepherd and I want to lead you down the paths which have been cleared and readied for you. That is your heritage as My child.
You can even walk through that valley of the shadow of death and you will fear no evil for I am with you. My rod is ready to club all evil invaders and My staff is ready to pull you back onto the path of righteousness when you wander off of the straight and narrow road.
My Holy Spirit's prayers through your mouth do things you never dreamed they would do or could do.
He is My Holy Spirit, the one whom Jesus said would be sent to take His place in your life as your ever constant companion in time of need, your counselor, the Spirit of Truth and Wisdom, your protector, your advocate, your healer, your shepherd, your guide, your encourager, your teacher and your source of life.
Stay in unity with the Holy Spirit who makes us One, just like Jesus and I are One. We are in good company with the Holy Spirit as our unifier.

Love, God

ATTITUDE CHANGES



Dear One,
Sing your songs and dance your dance.
Speak My words and declare your faith.
My formulas and strategies are coming together just like the gases came together to create the earth and the waters and the air and the firmament when I spoke them at the beginning of the earth. I spoke the formulas and the angels combined the gases. The, voila, they were substance.
I am doing the same in your situation, speaking the right formulas and the angel are uniting the ingredients, and they will will become substance, healing in all areas.
You have seen many inward changes in attitudes and those inward changes in attitudes will effect changes in the flesh and complete healing will take place.
Toxic attitudes can affect the flesh of a person, causing diseases. When toxic attitudes change, the power is released to change the devastating effects of the disease, changing from bad to good, returning to the perfect state as it was in the beginning before evil actions and reactions came into a person to rob from him, steal from him and destroy him.
Please refuse all negative thought patters which cause negative attitudes, thus spurring negative speaking and actions which were sent to curse you.
Do good to all men, being loving and kind to them. Then changes will come to perfect all that concerns you.
Love, God

STRATEGIES MATTER



Dear One,
Strategy is the most important factor in winning any race.
Strategy is the most important thing in winning any battle.
Strategy is the most important thing in winning any game.
Strategy is the most important thing in winning any war.
Strategy is the most important thing in winning in life.
Jesus was the first One to teach about My strategies. He began by teaching about attitudes, teaching that My attitudes are opposed to human strategies. He taught to turn the other cheek when struck.
He taught to forgive other people who wrong you.
He taught to pray for your enemies and those who spitefully use you.
He taught to heal the sick and to cast out demons rather than shunning people who had obviously sinned.
He taught to restore people rather than condemn them.
He taught that My children should not judge people or they will be judged by others.
He taught that seeds sown will return to either bless you or curse you, depending on the kind of seeds you sow.
He taught that the merciful will obtain mercy.
He taught that if a man asks for a coat that you should give him your cloak also.
He taught that people are more important than religious laws or religious institutions.
He taught the keys to My kingdom.
He taught that the Holy Spirit would take His place as teacher and comforter.
He taught that the Holy Spirit is the Spirit of Truth.
He taught that the Holy Spirit is the dispenser of My gifts.
He taught that His strategy will come to My children through the Holy Spirit.
He taught that all of My authoritative power and explosive power to change things are manifested in the Holy Spirit.
He taught communication with Me in prayers will supply everything you need.
Those are all strategies that assist you in having a happy, fulfilled life. Embrace them, put them into action and experience what i desire for you, the abundant life.

HIGH EXPECTATIONS



Dear One,

It is written, "Looking to Jesus, the author and finisher of your faith."
That is another reminder that I never leave anything half finished or 1/3 finished or 1/4 finished. I finish everything that I start.
Any delay in seeing the finished product is either a change in the strategy because of a change in personnel in the matter or it's a change in the circumstances. But a delay does not signify that I have stopped working in your behalf, it is only a time change in the conclusion or finish for when it becomes a reality. I finish everything to perfection and it is always on my timetable.
A furniture finisher will complete the work of sanding, painting or staining, then polishing it to a fine patina or shine to perfection.
I am the author and the finisher, providing the final finish of beauty to the answer to your prayers.
Don't be impatient. Remember that I am working with other human beings in the matter so there are many strategies and plans that need to be modified and finely tuned before all of it comes together.
Be reminded of what was said, "He is able to do exceedingly, abundantly more than you dare think or imagine, according to the power that is in you."
When the power in you is faith mixed with patience, then the answer to your prayers will be much better than your expectations.

Love, God

DECIDE WHO REIGNS



Dear One,
You sing, "The Lord reigns. Blessed be the rock. Blessed be the rock of My salvation."
Be sure My words reign in your life. When you do let My words reign in your life, replacing negative words with My promises and My teachings for you, then you are truly letting Me reign.
Be sure you seek My insights and wisdom relating to every decision you need to make. When you do that, then you are letting My insights and wisdom reign over human wisdom which is inadequate.
Be sure you profess that I am your Father to the principalities and powers of the air. When you do that, then defeat, strife, depression, anger and dissension cannot reign in your life and in your family.
You should let Me and My authority reign over everything. You should let Me be your Father in every area of your life. That way, supernatural wisdom, knowledge, insight and power are yours in all things.
We can't fail when we work together in unity.
Love, God

STOP EVIL AT THE DOOR



Dear One,
Blessed are the merciful for they shall obtain mercy. Seeds sown always produce like plants. Mercy produces mercy. Judgment produces judgment.
Judging of anyone, their beliefs and attitudes, will rebound in judgment of you.
Your destiny depends upon your attitudes and actions that are sown.
Loving attitudes and actions towards others will produce love for you from others.
Forgiveness for others produces forgiveness for you from others.
Judgment from you for others, even if the judgments are just, will produce judgment for you. The principle does not say that false judgment of others will produce judgment for you. It says not to judge less you be also judged.
There is no escaping the rebound action of judging except for the principle of forgiveness. When you forgive someone, you erase the retribution of the offense from your mind and erase the retribution from the person that you judged. Then the spiritual atmosphere is clear and peace can prevail in the situation.
You can stop all of the invasion of evil into your life if you will stop the mental activity of judgment, hatred, anger, envy, strife, division and jealousy. Refuse to allow those thought patterns to plant their seeds into your mind or you will reap what you have sown, which is like attitudes turned against you.
Keep a clean mind and live the abundant life. That is what Jesus taught all of his ministry, that seeds produce after their own kind. Therefore, be merciful and forgiving of everyone and their actions. Then your garden of life produces nutritious, tasty, enjoyable plants which bring the abundant life.
Love, God

STRUCK DUMB



Dear One,
Isaiah's words were a pertinent part of prophesy that had to be fulfilled before Jesus could be born of a woman and gain legal entry into the earth.. Therefore every word that he prophesied was important for the fulfilment of the prophesy.
Isaiah confessed that he was a man of unclean lips, speaking unclean words, so his speech had to be cleansed before I could use his words to speak of the coming of the Messiah.
An angel went forth from My heavens and touched the lips of Isaiah in order to cleanse his words. That act was necessary or Isaiah would have spoken negatively about the Lordship of Jesus, the Messiah, His ministry and His sacrifice.
Does that tell you how important words are? I said by your words you will be justified and by your words you will be condemned.
Zacharias, the father of John the Baptist, was struck dumb after it was prophesied to him by an angel that his wife Elizabeth would bear a child. The angel told Zacharias that because of his unbelief that he would not utter a word until the son was born. If Zacharias had been able to speak, he would have spoken words of unbelief and fear, and the ministry of John the Baptist would not have happened.
Sometimes desperate times do demand desperate measures.
All of the prophesies relating to Jesus and to John the Baptist had to be spoken and believed and then fulfilled before their important ministries could come to pass.
All of My promises must be spoken and believed before they can become fulfilled.
Those examples should teach you how important your words are to your future. The positive words will justify you with good results.
The negative words will condemn you with bad results.
I taught it many times in the parables of the seeds.
Take heed to this key to My kingdom, words are important to your life. They carry blessings and they carry curses, depending upon what proceeds from your mouth.
Love, God

TRUTH or LIES



Dear One,

When you fear a bad report you are defeating yourself. You lend your faith to the evil that has planned the negative report when you fear a negative report.
In other words, you believe for something bad to happen rather than having faith for good things to happen.
Job had that problem. He believed that his children would sin so he made sacrifices for them before they even thought about sinning. He imagined them sinning, so that gave power to the devil to entice them to sin. He fell for a trick of the devil, fearing an evil report of his children sinning. He believed for them to sin, so they did.
I said do not fear an evil report. Do not have faith for a bad report. Instead, believe Me for a good report. Believe Me and my promises instead of imagining that a bad report will come to you. Believing Me is what faith is.
It is said that Abraham believed Me and it was counted to him as righteousness. In other words, Abraham believed Me and what he believed happened.
Don't believe in bad things happening. Believe for good things to happen.
If you believe in bad things happening, they will because you have faith for them.
There is no power for bad things to happen unless you have faith for them to happen.
There is no power for good things to happen unless you have faith for them to happen.
Imagining bad things to happen will guarantee them.
Imagining good things to happen will guarantee them.
It[s a matter of believing either Me and My promises or believing the devil and his bad reports.
You've spoken and sung that you know the Good News Guy, Jesus, so you don't fear a bad report. Continue to base your faith on that firm foundation.

MOUTHS OF BABES

TRUTH FROM THE MOUTH OF A CHILD
Tommye Allen

My friend Jane has an adorable seven year old great granddaughter named Mercedes. Mercedes is a very spiritual little girl, as I have written about her in the past.
I'm going to tell you about a recent incident that Jane told me about. You will be convinced of the youthful wisdom of her great granddaughter.
It seems that Mercedes was spending the night with Jane and her husband. When they went to pick her up at her house she was in the carport carving a small pumpkin for her younger brother Timothy. She was determined to keep her promise to him.
As Mercedes was cleaning the seeds and pulp out of the pumpkin she kept saying, "Yuk." She was determined to finish the pumpkin for Timothy so she insisted on taking it to the home of her great grandparents to finish. She finished it and presented it to Timothy. He was overjoyed with her creation.
When it came bedtime, the special time Jane has with her of reading her a story, Mercedes said to Jane, "Nanny, I have a great idea. Instead of you reading to me, let's do what we used to do. Let's talk about Jesus."
The child told her Nanny that she had something wonderful and good to share with her. She reminded Jane of the bad yucky stuff inside the pumpkin that was so hard to clean out. Then she said, "Nanny, that's how God does it in our mind, He just starts working on our minds and keeps working until all the yucky stuff is cleaned out and it's all gone."
Jane said she wishes she could capture and describe in words Mercedes's countenance as she was speaking that truth. She said there was the look of complete peace on the child's face.
Jane describes her bedtime talks with Mercedes as their "God Time" in their lives. I'll bet Mercedes has a lot of God times in her life. She's blessed that way. I'm going to enjoy watching that child grow up and hearing other stories about her insight into God.
Mercedes doesn't know that the Apostle Paul told believers to be transformed by the renewing of their minds in Romans 12:2. She didn't learn it from the Bible. She learned it straight from her Heavenly Father.

ROLLER COASTER RIDES



Dear One,

There are spiritual laws which apply to men.
One spiritual law is the law of sin and death which is instituted by the devil, whose object is to rob, kill and destroy.
Another spiritual law is the law of the spirit of life in Christ Jesus. That Spirit is My Holy Spirit through whom all life is instituted.
All human beings have the choice of living under the law of sin and death or living under the law of the Spirit of Life that was in Christ Jesus.
The workings of the law of sin and death are immorality, impurity, licentiousness, idolatry, enmity, strife, jealousy, anger, selfishness, dissension, division, envy, drunkenness, carousing and the like. Those workings will rob, kill and destroy you eventually.
The working of My Holy Spirit in the life of a person are love, joy, patience, goodness, mercy, kindness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.
Anyone who chooses to live under the influence of the law of the Spirit of Life in Christ Jesus is free from the law of sin and death. My Spirit gives you the power to refuse to operate under the law of sin which brings death because My Holy Spirit is greater than any temptation sent by the devil.
Greater is He, the Holy Spirit, than the demons from hell, so the Holy Spirit gives men the power to refuse the temptations from hell.
Because My punishment for the devil was that he would be ostracized from My presence and sent to hell because of his efforts to kill and destroy My children, when My children choose to follow the ways of the devil, obeying his temptations, then My children have chosen to inherit his punishment, too. I do not punish them, they choose to side with evil and therefore they inherit his punishment.
But if My children choose to turn from the ways of the law of sin and death by turning away from the wicked ways of the devil, then if they will come to Me to participate in the law of the Spirit of Life they inherit My promises of the abundant life.
It's always a choice. Sometimes a minute by minute choice.
You must not make life a roller coaster ride of participating in the Spirit of Life that was in Christ Jesus and then temporarily participating in the law of the spirit of sin which brings death. The effects of that choice might not be immediate. If it was immediate you would never choose to be tempted away from the Spirit of Life. But the devil waits with his punishment of you so that you won't relate the hell on earth that comes from participating in his law of sin and death to any of his activities in your life. Trust Me when I say that he wants you to pay the full price, which is death of body, death of relationships, death of finances, death of your mental health and death of your spiritual blessings that come from Me.
You are free from the law of sin and death through the Holy Spirit inside of you. Listen to the advice and teachings of My Spirit and refuse to listen to the emissary of the spirit of death, the devil.

GIVING PERMISSION



Dear One,

Paul said to "let" Me be true and every man a liar. He was saying to "LET" My words be reality and to "LET" the negative words of men be lies.
The key to that truth is that you must "LET" My promises be true in your life, you must "LET' Me be who I am in the earth, you must "LET" Me be your Father, you must "LET the Holy Spirit be your guide and comforter, you must "LET" Me be your healer, you must "LET' Me be your provider and your shepherd, your deliverer, your constant companion and you must "LET" me be your peace. "LET" me be your savior in times of trouble.
When you "LET" something be, you allow it to be. In other words, you give permission to it to become reality. You must "LET" Me provide what you need, knowing that My character provides the power for it to be.
Letting can be a command or a request or a prayer. It is allowing Me to do what I said I would do.
If you don't pray without ceasing, then you are not LETTING Me be the Lord of your life. Praying in the Spirit at all times is letting Me be Lord in every situation.
Letting My words have first place in your life is giving Me permission to prevail in every matter because you have learned My promises and you have given Me permission to establish them in your life.
Letting Me be who I am in the world and in your life is allowing Me to be your Loving Father.
LET Me take care of everything. You just need to allow Me the pleasure of being the caretaker, the fixer, the beginning and the end, the author and the finisher.

Love, God

FINISHED



Dear One,

When I said through the Apostle Paul that you should look to Jesus, the author and finisher of your faith, I mean to do precisely that:
Consider His actions;
Consider His wisdom;
Consider His faith;
Consider His attitudes toward demonic spirits;
Consider his love for all men;
Consider his reliance upon Me through the Holy Spirit.
I meant to consider every aspect of His life, not only His ministry but His attitudes toward people.
Consider His rebellion against binding traditions which brought rejections from the establishment in the church.
Consider all of those truths and lean upon them.
Consider that Jesus was the author of your faith. He began it by ushering in the New Covenant with men. He is the finisher of your faith because He finished the prophesies of the Old Covenant when He came to earth. He finished My New Covenant of Sonship with men and it is perfect. He finished it when He rose from the dead and sent the Holy Spirit to live in you.
He is the author of your faith because He gives you the gift of faith. He is the finisher of your faith because He always carries out what He has promised. He finishes every promise that He made. He finishes every job that He begins.

Love, God

REGENERATION AND REJVENATION



Dear One,

Jesus said that the Holy Spirit would show you things to come. So seeing future events is merely a matter of allowing your mind to become connected to the eye of your spirit where My Spirit dwells. Then My Spirit projects His future plans and accomplishments onto the screen of your human mind.
The Holy Spirit can also show you the devious plans that your enemy, the devil, has planned so that you can put a stop to those plans immediately and you won't have to endure the devastation that he has conjured up for you.
The future is not set in stone. It is dependent upon many things, but primarily upon you, whether you will act as My child in the earth by praying in the Spirit and walking in love or whether you will yield to the works of the flesh which are instituted by the evil one.
I said through the Apostle Paul that your citizenship is not of the earth, so the worldly laws of wearing out by age and degeneration do not apply to you. My laws of constant regeneration apply to you. Those laws apply to My children who live by the dictates of the Spirit.
The nation of your citizenship is spiritual. The benefits of being in My family are wisdom, health, joy, love, kindness, goodness, mercy, grace, patience and peace. There are no laws that can negate those spiritual attributes.
Become heavenly minded and your body and mind will follow. They will become rejuvenated with every day that passes.
My promise for you is life more abundantly. Listen to My Spirit and you will have it.

Love, God

THE WAY



Dear One,

Remember that I said that when problems come that I have already provided a way of escape. That's why Jesus said "I am the way, the truth and the life." I am the way out of everything evil or unfortunate that can happen to you in your life.
Jesus also said, "I am the light of the world." You very often need the right way illuminated when you are caught in the traps of the devil. I will show you the perfect solution to every situation so that you will emerge from misfortune and be brought into the light of My perfect ways.
I will always enlighten you with revelation and wisdom and insight so that you can find solutions to every problem.
When light is shown in darkness, there is no more darkness because the light envelops the darkness.
So when you find yourself in darkness with no idea which way to turn or what to do, call upon My abilities to bring light into the darkness and illuminate the way out.
Don't ever forget that there is a way out of every bad situation. I have already provided it. My Holy Spirit will lead you and guide you into all truth. That was a promise and it is still a promise.

Love, God

MORE POWERFUL THAN LIGHTNING



Dear One,

You have seen the power of the devil in intense lightning.
If you could see the devil's working in the heavenly dimension you would see the same power manifested to the same degree of destruction that you have seen in lightning. The only difference would be that that destructive power would be aimed toward the lives of people rather than being resident in the sky. The rapidity of the bolts is the same, the intensity is the same.
My power is trillions of times greater. My power is of a higher authority.
Because you are My child, you have the right and the authority to speak to the spirits of destruction and command them to cease and desist. They must obey you when you speak in My name and with My authoritative words.
Remember, you are the one in control because of My Spirit within you. All of heaven and earth move when My authority is exercised.

VICTIMIZATION



Dear One,

When you assume a victim position in your mind, you have already lost the battle because you have put another person in control of your life. Actually, when you have a victim attitude about yourself you have put the devil in control of your life. He will win if you continue with the attitude that you are a victim of abuse, defeat, intimidation, condemnation, control or manipulation.
The way out of the victim scenario is to gird up your loins (your courage) and to initiate a counter attack, putting all forms of evil in the position of being a victim with you as the authority.
The devil has already lost the war. Your brother Jesus defeated him and gave you the keys of authority in the earth with all of the power to defeat the remaining demons who are instigators of evil control. If you allow anyone to gain control over you, then you are giving the victorious outcome of the battle to the devil. He has already lost the war, but he wants to win battles over My children.
The devil and the people that he uses in his efforts want to control you through your emotions because he can manipulate you easily in that area. If he can get you into self pity or condemnation or intimidation and can get your emotions out of control, then there is the possibility of winning over you.
If you refuse to get into negative emotions, then you have already won the battle.
Speak My truth, speak My standards, refuse to be controlled or manipulated. Take your place of authority in every situation over negativity in any form and you will re-establish your position of being the head and not the tail.
Remember that your authority is not over people. Your authority is over the evil principalities and powers in the heavens; in other words, over evil and its demonic beings.
Your calling is to love people but to destroy the works of the devil, just like Jesus did. Start by refusing to be a victim of the works of evil. You are My child, the authority over all forms of evil.

Love, God

ATTACKS FROM HELL




Dear One,

The devil will advance speedily if you don't stop him when he initially begins his attack.
You have experienced it many times. When thoughts of anger, disgust, depression or condemnation first attack your mind, if you don't replace those damaging thoughts with hopeful, faith-filled, positive and loving thoughts then the negative ones will gain momentum and grow into overpowering attitudes and then destructive actions.
You can speak My words to him, either My standard that I have established in My Instruction Book or you can stop the mental attacks by commanding them to stop.
If the devil is using another person to initiate his attack on you, then you must emphatically speak the truth in love. Otherwise, if the destructive thoughts and attitudes and actions are allowed to escalate, then you will find yourself a victim of the evil rather than the overcoming authority over the situation.
The occasion where Jesus overcame the temptations of the devil in the wilderness are the perfect example. He overcame the negative temptations that were put there by the devil and He overcame them by using the authoritative power of My written words. My words always overcome negativity in every form. Learn to be an alert watchman, always eager to stop tempting thoughts sent by the evil one to afflict you with his negative attitudes and activities. My positive words take precedence, causing evil spirits to retreat in defeat.
The attitudes and actions of Jesus are always the standards by which you must think and act. Then you will be the overcomer. You will not be overcome by evil.
Love, God
Matthew 4;3-11; James 4:2; I Peter 5:8-11.

THE BIBLE, GOD'S ADVICE COLUMN







Dear One,
When a child chooses to disobey a parent the child is signing up for the consequences of his actions which are punishments of some form by the parents. The child has actually chosen the punishment over the rewards of the parent which come from obedience.
In My family the same principle is true but there is one exception to that scenario. When My children do not follow My protective advice, they enter the territory of the devil and they make a pack with the devil to ruin their lives in some way. The effects of making the pack with the devil do not come immediately or the child would relate the injurious effects to the rebellious acts themselves and learn never to reject My loving advice.
The reasons for all of My commandments, My precepts, My statutes, My laws and My ordinances are for the protection of My children, to keep them from falling into the territory of the devil and his insidious activities which rob, kill and destroy.
Remember that Jesus came to earth to destroy the works of the devil. In the name of Jesus and with the power and authority given to you by the Holy Spirit, you can refuse the temptations and testing of the devil. You have the strength and ability to say, "No," to the temptations that come from hell to rob, kill and destroy things in your life.
Review how Jesus refused the evil temptations and do likewise.
When it is followed, My loving advice will guarantee you a life filled with love, joy and peace. I am Love and all of My words of guidance are to keep you in the cocoon of My love.

Love, God

CROWNS OF JEWELS



Dear One,
In your dimension when a person understands something it is considered a light going on.
In My dimension when a person understands something spiritual it is considered revelation knowledge and it is reflected as jewels in the mind of a person. That's what the crown of jewels means, that a person has received either wisdom or insight or knowledge into spiritual matters.
The jewels are diamonds, rubies, sapphires and other precious elements in the heavens because they are like wealth is in your dimension. They give you input into becoming successful in the earth. Becoming successful means that you are endued with spiritual power, spiritual wisdom and spiritual knowledge. They enlighten your earthly mind and they shine like jewels in the heavens.
Seek more of My revelation knowledge and you will become free of earthly bondages and you will shine in the heavens with jewels like a crown.
Revelation shines forth because they have en"light"ened you and scales fell from your earthly eyes.
Love, God

TRUE WORSHIP



Dear One,

When someone offends you, immediately cover the person and the situation with love because love covers a multitude of sins. When you do that, you have chosen My way, not the way of negative emotions which will defeat everyone involved in the situation.
Always remember that emotions actually emote energy into a situation, either negative ones from hell or positive ones from Me, depending upon which emotions in which you choose to operate. The energy you emote affects you, the other person and everyone involved in the situation.
For everyone to win, you, the other people and Me, you must choose to act and react with love which will smother anger, hatred, strife and other negative energy.
Jesus knew that he was talking about. Now you should act like He knew what He was talking about.
To worship Me means to emulate My character in every situation.
You say that some earthly sons just worship their fathers when they act like them and talk like them. Jesus said that you must worship Me in spirit and in truth. When you spend time with Me and receive truth and My revelation knowledge from My Spirit, then you become equipped with My character enough to worship me by emulating My character, which is true worship.
I desire that people see My character of love in you. Then I can truly say, "As I am, so are you in the world."
Love, God

OBSTACLES TO FAITH



Dear One,

The emotional part of your brain is different than the reasoning part of your brain. They are in different cortexes.
When a person acts or reacts in anger, disgust, condemnation, guilt, strife, judgment or dissension, then he has shut down the reasoning part of the brain which reasons with Me. When that happens, the only part functioning is the part which produces negative emotions. Those emotions will curse you. That's why Jesus taught so much about attitudes (Beatitudes). He was saying that you should act and react with My attitudes of forgiveness, love, respect, mercy, kindness and goodness.
When a person refuses to act or react with negative emotions to a stressful or difficult situation, choosing to reason with Me instead, then he leaves himself free to hear My creative, compassionate, nonjudgmental and merciful reasoning words. The results will be that he will receive the ability to act or react with My spiritual positive emotions of love, peace, mercy, goodness, joy, kindness, patience and faith.
The key in every situation is to refuse the temptation of the flesh, where the devil tempts you to act or react in self defense because it will always be an action of defeating the other person with injurious words or actions. You will also be defeated when you succumb to the anger produced by the devil.
Saving you from conflict is My primary concern. Conflict brings injury to body, soul and spirit. It is the basis of all wars in relationships, families and between countries.
Let every occasion to react in anger fall to the ground without accomplishing what the evil one planned.
Remember that My ways are not the ways of the flesh.
Do you want peace with all men? Then stay out of anger, strife and every evil work that accompanies them because they will curse you.
My objective is to bless you. First you must stay out of strife caused by anger.
Love, God
Matthew 5:21-26; Ephesians 4:26;-27; Colossians 3:8-10; Colossians 3;8; Ephesians 4:31-32; Romans 12:15-18.

CHEEK TURNING



Dear One
Negative emotions will defeat you every time.
Jesus taught that if a man is angry with you, you should react with love.
Jesus taught that if a person wrongs you, you should forgive him and pray for him.
Jesus taught that if a person strikes you on the cheek, turn the other cheek, too, not necessarily to be stricken again but as a sign of showing that you seek peace. If you strike back, it is said that all hell will break loose. That is a good description because when you react with anger there are demonic spirits who join in the situation and cause more turmoil, cursing you.
Jesus taught that if a person asks for your cloak that you should give him your coat also.
Jesus taught that being merciful is My way to handle the wrongful acts of people. He taught that getting even or judging or returning evil for evil is not My ways of reacting. In other ways, My ways are never the ways of usual emotional responses of people. My ways are the opposite. The reasons for My teachings on attitudes , actions and reactions are for your benefit. I want you to keep anger, retribution, judgment and vengeance out of your life because when you get into the devil's territory you will reap the seeds you have planted and those things will come against you.
My advice to keep peace with all men is for your protection. It is protecting yourself and your family.
I said to come to Me and let's reason together. I never said to come to Me and let's get emotional or mad together against someone. I want to reason with you and show you the reasons for what I taught through Jesus.
I sent the Holy Spirit to be your teacher. He is the Spirit of Truth. He will explain My reasoning to you.
Love, God

ROCK POWER



Dear One,
The Psalmist wrote, "He only is my rock and the God of My salvation, " indicating that I am the rock upon which Jesus was to build the church, which is solid and everlasting.
Think about another aspect of My being the rock. Think about David and how he killed Goliath with a well placed stone that was hurled at him.
Think about the name of Jesus being the rock which you can hurl at the devil when he is tempting you or trying to entice you into behavior which will curse you in areas of your life.
Think bout the power in that name. The rock of the name of Jesus will cause the devil to flee immediately. When you say, "Leave in the name of Jesus," or "Stop in the name of Jesus, " when the devil is tormenting you with temptations of doubt, unbelief, discouragement, fleshly passions, judgment, condemnation, confusion, anger, dissension or any of his other arsenal, the rock of the name of Jesus will cause the devil to flee immediately.
Jesus said you would cast out devils and heal the sick in His name. That shows you the power that is in His name. It is a well placed rock aimed at the jugular vein of the devil.
All of heaven recognizes the authority in the name of Jesus, so all occasions of mental and physical torment must cease at the mention of His name.
So, yes, you can hide in the rock of My stability, but you can also use the rock of the name of Jesus to defeat all means of torment.
I named Him Jesus and I gave power to His name because He has power over all spirits that curse, maim, torment, try and tempt you.
You are one with Jesus, so you have legal right to use His name as a rock against all enemies.
Blessed be the rock of your salvation.
Love, God

PASS IT ON



Dear One,
You are called to rescue by prayers even those people who do not desire to be rescued. There are those who do not want to put out the effort to seek salvation or healing or wisdom or relief from damaging attitudes.
You, as a prayer intercessor, can with your prayers do the work of making them desirous of finding a solution to their needs.
You can, by praying for someone, seek for him My salvation, My healing and My deliverance from the works of the devil. Jesus did it for you. He and My Spirit live to make intercession for you. Pass it on.

POWER IN GOD'S LOVE



Dear One,

Faith trusts in Me, never in the person who has a need. If you trusted the person who has a need to supply his own needs, you never would have needed Me in the situation because the need would have been met by the person. Faith needs My intervention in the matter or you never would have turned to Me.
My abilities are what is needed, not the abilities of any earthly person. The person's needs are what drove you to turn to Me in prayer, asking for My help. His needs are not the power necessary to solve the problem. My abilities and My power are what will solve the problem. If the person could come up with the power to meet his own needs, you wouldn't need Me.
It is My love for everyone that entices My willingness to meet the needs of all of My children. Love always gives and Love always meets the needs of people.
My Fatherhood is the compelling factor, first seeing the needs of My children and then moving heaven and earth to do what is asked of Me.
It is said that the devil seeks whomever he can devour.
I seek for whomever I can help. When asked to enter the situation, I am eager to meet the need.
My help is sufficient for every need.

Love, God

GREAT FAITHFULNESS




GREAT FAITHFULNESS

It is so easy to be knocked off of our faith by circumstances, situations, negative reports and earthly evidence. But, God is still true to His word. To me that means that He is loyal to what He promises. He never, ever reneges on His words.
The year of chemotherapy that my husband Steve has experienced has been an adventure. I call it an adventure because it's like forging the Amazon River, breathtakingly beautiful in some places but treacherous in other places. You never know what's around the next bend. Every discouraging thing that happens is just a bump in the road, as Steve says, sometimes an unnerving swift current in the river of life.
After six cycles of one chemo cocktail, the visual tumors shrunk and we proclaimed that he was cancer free. We celebrated. Then a few months later some new tumors appeared and the oncologists in Houston ordered a different kind of chemo cocktail.
After two cycles of the new chemotherapy we expected to hear wonderful news from the doctors, especially after Steve had experienced the power of God in a mighty way. Some wonderful maidens of God called the Tuesday Girls prayed collectively for him, laying hands on him with the anointing power of the Holy Spirit. There was an immediate change in his demeanor. The gray pallor of his skin became pink like a newborn baby. Peace permeated his body through and through. He felt like a new man. The "peace that passes understanding" never left him.
When we went to Houston a few weeks later, we expected to receive the report that the tumors were gone. On the morning of the day he was to receive the report from the doctor we woke early in the hotel room and when I asked him how he felt about hearing the doctor's report of the results of the test he proclaimed, "Let God be true and every man a liar."
That scripture was given to him by one of the Tuesday Girls, at the very onset of hearing that he had cancer 18 months before. I had forgotten that she had sent a card with that scripture written on it to Steve and I had forgotten that I had proclaimed that scripture when Steve was in the hospital after surgeons removed multiple cancers from his body. Now, a year later, Steve professed it again. How could I have forgotten the importance of that scripture?
So when the doctors relayed to us that the tumors were not gone but were still evident on the CT scan, we were surprised but we still believed that God had done a healing work in Steve's body. As the doctors continued relating their scientific assessment of the situation, their words became more serious, telling us that the second chemo cocktail had not worked so Steve would have to have more chemotherapy with a different combination of chemicals. We took in their assessment and left the hospital with shaky confidence, but still knowing that God can do a miracle in the situation.
It's hard to maintain a firm and stable faith when one is surrounded by people who have that same disease in different stages with visual evidence of the devastation that it causes. It is evident that the disease is demonic. Only the devil would do that kind of damage to people and to families.
A person can begin to grieve for the other people and take on negative feelings toward his own situation. That happened to us. Even though we were still convinced that God would heal Steve, we lost sight of the fact that he had been healed.
We left the hospital in Houston with heavy hearts from the disappointing news from the doctors that the tumors were still there.

Our plane landed in Tulsa and we needed to get a sandwich before driving the 50 miles to our home.
While sitting in the restaurant the thought came to me "out of the blue," a remembrance of the first time I had been supernaturally healed of breast cancer and the second time I had also been healed of breast cancer and lung cancer. In both instances, when the doctors operated on me the tumors were still there but after being removed they were declared to be benign, dead in other words. Putting it simply, when God healed me through two separate supernatural ways, the tumors didn't disappear, but they were left dead, benign, no longer malignant.
How did I miss that truth? I began to understand that Steve has been healed by God, just like I had, but the masses were still evident. Just because the masses were still evident to the human eye of the doctors on the CT scan didn't mean that they are still malignant. They are dead
I immediately relayed that revelation to Steve. His eyes lit up like a light bulb. He immediately saw the correlation. Then he said, "That's why God gave me that scripture this morning, 'Let God be true and every man a liar.' God was telling me that no matter what the doctors say that the CT scan shows, just because the masses are still there doesn't mean that I haven't been healed. It's the same thing as in the breast cancer situations with you. The masses were removed after you had been healed and the tumors were dead, benign, nonmalignant after God had intervened in the situation."
We praised God quietly over and over while at the restaurant. Then we finished the meal and quietly praised him all the way to the car. When we closed the doors of the car we had a real praise session that must have rocked the car.
Steve kept saying that we're not moved by what we see or what we hear, we are only moved by what God says about the matter. In other words, let what God says be true and let whatever men assesses about the matter be a lie.
God's promises are always true and real and He is loyal to what He promises.

We continued to thank Him that He explained to us what is happening, that the evidence in the spiritual dimension of Steve being healed is more real than the negative evidence of the CT scan. Even though the masses are still there, they are no longer alive. They are dead.
New life and new energy came to Steve, the result of revelation knowledge, the revelation of letting what God says be true and letting earthly evidence be a lie.
I've been singing, "Great is Thy faithfulness" for six weeks. Now I fully know how truly great is His faithfulness. God did not leave His children comfortless, He sent the Holy Spirit to us to be our Comforter. The Holy Spirit comforted us in this situation the only way we could be comforted, by His truth about the matter. He truly is the Great Comforter and the Spirit of Truth, just like Jesus said.
How truly, "Great is Thy faithfulness, Oh, Lord unto me."
