REVOLUTION

Dear One,
     "Bless them who curse you.  Do good to those who hate you.  Pray for them who  despitefully use you."
     That admonition by Jesus sounded revolutionary to my children the first time they heard it.  It continues to sound revolutionary and impossible to do today because your culture has taught that a person must fight back with violence when violence comes at you, that you must curse those who curse you, that you must hate those who hate you and that you must take from those who use you.  In other words, an eye for an eye has always been the philosophy since Adam's disobedience caused blockages for men from their communication with Me.  It has never been My instructions to My children.
     Jesus knew that your joining with evil in retaliation would always result in evil being returned to you in a larger way.  He knew that I will avenge the evil spirits behind every evil act of men.  I pronounce My judgment against the demonic activity that causes all evil.  My judgment is never against people.  It is always against the evil principalities and powers in the heavens. 
      Your actions against those who wrong you must always be the opposite reaction, love returned for hate, good returned for evil, forgiveness returned for unforgiveness, mercy returned when judged, kindness returned for curses.
     When you are able to do those things, returned good for evil done to you,  the effect on the evil beings behind the bad actions toward you will shrink away in fear because their actions depend on like actions being returned.  When you return goodness instead of unkindness, the other person is freed from the evil behind his or her actions and good overcomes the evil.  Then there is rejoicing in heaven because another battle has been won in the earth.
      When you return evil for evil done to you, there is also rejoicing in the spiritual dimension, but not my heaven.  There is rejoicing in the dimension of evil because they have won a battle which you helped them win by your returning evil for evil done to you.
      Even though it sounds revolutionary to you, please do what I asked you to do, which is to return good for evil done to you, bless those who curse you and pray for those who despitefully use you.  When you do, we win another battle for delivering the earth from evil.    Yes, every battle is important.
     Love, God

FLEXIBILITY IS GOODNESS

Dear One
    We have talked about flexibility many times in the past.  Flexibility is one of the personality traits that comes from the fruit of the Spirit of goodness. 
     Flexibility is the opposite of rigidity.  Rigid people are legalisitic about religious standards, submission to unreasonable authority, legalistic about social standards and political philosophies.
     Read over and over again about your brother Jesus.  He was not rigid about any of those expectations.  That is why He was hated by the hypocrites, the Pharisees and the SadduceeS.  He was more concerned about helping people than He was about rigid rules and regulations. He understood that spiritual heredity, backgrounds, parental expectations and education contribute to whether a person is rigid or flexible.  He knew that rigidity is at the basis of all judgmental thoughts.  He taught explicitly that if a person judges another person that he will be judged by others. 
     Jesus knew the cause of all evil in the world is satan.  He knew that people yield to temptations from the devil because He was tempted and He did not yield.  He had My power inside of Him to defeat the devil.  He understood that without My power people have no resistance to the devil and his temptations to do evil.
      Jesus walked in the flesh so He understood the battle between good and evil with which every human being is presented every day which calls for choosing either life or death, good or evil.  He understood the people who yield to temptation to do evil.  Instead of judgment, Jesus had mercy and compassion.
      Rigidity can curse a person physically, socially, emotionally and spiritually.
      Jesus knew that flexibility can cause a person to act with goodness and understanding toward others rather than judging them as always being sinners.
      You have heard the term "flow with the Spirit".  Flexibility and goodness allows you to be fluid, never judging, never condemning, never rigid, but always acting toward others with mercy and love.
      That is one of the keys of the kingdom about which Jesus taught. Make it your key because it opens many doors to the abundant life that I promised.
       Love, God

SEEDS BEGET LIKE PLANTS

Dear One,
     Judgment always begets judgment.

     Violence always begets violence.
     When a society rewards violence, violence will prevail.
     If you will always think about the spiritual seed sowing principle before you take action in any situation you will not receive the same boomerang activity from bad actions that you contemplated taking.  There is no deviation from that principle.   What you sow will certainly be returned to you, maybe not immediately but eventually they will. 
     My desire to you is that you receive love, peace, goodness, kindness, mercy and joy from others because you have given the same actions to everyone. That is one reason why My Spirit distributes My characteristics and personality traits into you, so that you will distribute them to others.  Then they will be returned to you pressed down, running over, shall men give the same virtues to you.
     You cannot judge others and get mercy.
     You cannot perform violent acts and receive peace in your life.  It's impossible.  Your spiritual garden only grows what you plant in it.
     You have heard it said that those who live by the sword will die by the sword.  That is a truth relating to the seed principle.
     If you want peace in your life, sow peace.
     If you want mercy in your life, sow mercy.
     If you want kindness in your life, sow kindness.
     If you want love in your life, sow love.
     If you want goodness in your life, sow goodness.
     If you want people to be patient with you, sow patience seeds by being patient with others.
     What you sow, that shall you always reap.
     Sow seeds from the fruit of My Spirit and reap goodness, kindness, love, mercy, patience, faith and joy all the days of your life.  When you do that, My kingdom will have fully come into your life.
     Love, God

MIND BATTLES

Dear One,
     I know it is difficult not to take into your mind a thought of worry when you hear that a person has had an unfortunate situation happen.  Your mind travels to an imaginary situation that will probably never happen to you, but because of fear the situation projects the same bad situation into your future.
    Jesus talked about that same scenario when he taught about taking no thought or care for your future, what you will eat or what you will drink.  He said that you should not fear an unfortunate thing happening.  He said that I feed the birds of the air and adorn the lilies of the field.  He said that there is enough evil available to have things happen in the future without you worrying about them and inviting them into your life by worrying. 
     When worrying that bad things might happen occurs in your thoughts, the images of those bad things invade your mind and the devil takes that as permission to bring them about.  The imagination of the bad things happening are an act of permission for him to call them into your life.
     When you do not worry about bad situations happening in your future, they never will because you have not fearfully imagined them and passed on to the father of fear your agreement with his participation in the matter.
     Jesus was very emphatic about teaching you not to worry.  He knew that worrying, fretting, griping and moaning would  block My entrance into your life to bring My blessings to you. 
     Jesus knew all about the battle in the spiritual dimension for your mind, the battle between good and evil.  He knew that there are consequences to entertaining the thoughts of evil deeds possibly happening because when you fear things you are agreeing with the devil's ability to produce evil actions in your life. Your obsessions with those thoughts will enhance his ability to do just that.
     What Jesus was teaching was why should you curse your own future by agreeing with the evil that the devil might do instead of agreeing with the wonderful things that I can do when you agree with Me instead of agreeing with evil.
     Jesus never talked just to hear himself talk.  He never talked just so people could quote him for his eloquence.  He taught spiritual principles that are truth and what will make your life the abundant life that I promised.
     Heed the words of Jesus.  He had inside information.
     Love, God

SIMPLE PLEASURES

Dear One,
     Simple pleasures can become valuable treasures.
     Even the simplest, yet memorable, pleasures in life make you grateful for them and thankful to be alive to experience them.
     The pleasures of giving even the simple, smallest compliment to another person that you meet can brighten his or her day and will make the day pleasurable for both of you.
     You have experienced that hearing even the most simple truths from Me will give you new life and make you thankful for the gifts of wisdom, knowledge and insight.
     The goodness in the act of giving to you even the smallest gift by a friend or a compliment or an act of love will do wonders for your immune system, your mental and emotional stability and, again, your gratefulness.   It does the same for others when you serve them gifts or compliments or acts of love.
     To be fortunate enough to have warmth in winter and a coolness home in summer results in gratitude again and again.
     Having a wonderful, loving family is a fortune in itself for which you are thankful.
     The hugs, kisses and acts of love of a child will boost your whole mental, physical and emotionall systems into high gear. Their giving flows freely, just like Mine does.
     A song that recalls good memories will bombard you with pleasure.
     True pleasures don't cost money.  They are sent from Me for your good pleasure.
      It is My good pleasure to make your life pleasant, pleasurable and happy.   Good daddies do that.  I'm your Heavenly Daddy and I delight in giving you all the benefits of being My child.
      Love, God
Luke 12:32; Matthew 16:19; Matthew 6:25-30; Matthwe 6:33; Ephesians 1:16-22l Ephesians 3:14-20.

GIVE FREELY

Dear One,
     When you have the resources and see a need, fill that need. 
     That's what I do, and I depend upon My children to do that part of My work for Me.
     I impress upon many people who do not respond to My impressions to fill a particular need, so I go to another person with resources and impress upon him or her to fill that need.  Then if there is no response, I go to another person.
     Eventually someone will respond.  Usually its not the first one.  The people who do respond are usually the people who have been on the receiving end of the generosity of others.  They have experienced lack and they know how to be thankful, so they repay the generosity of others toward them by giving what is needed and passing it on.
     I desire that you become one of the first responders, willing to be the first person to meet a need when I impress upon you to be generous.
     Remember that that there is a spiritual principle involved.  It's a great way to get your needs met, also, because seeds always come back in the form of plants of like nature.
     Love, God

LOVE LIFTS

Dear One,
     "Love lifted me.  Love lifted me.  When nothing else could help, love lifted me." 
     You sang those words religiously when you were growing up. You loved the melody and the cadence but you were to young to know the truth of the song.    Yet, when life through evil spirits threw its destructive plans at you, you needed to be lifted out of the spiritual dirt and grime, then placed you inside of My protective arms.  There you experienced the reality of the author's experience because you enjoyed the same salvation from evil, who takes many different forms. 
     My love did its easy task, which was impossible with earthly power. Love lifted you and lifted you and is still lifting you, saving you from the turmoil and destruction of evil forces. 
    It is My honor and My great pleasure to rescue you just like I do all of My children who call upon Me. 
    Don't ever forget our relationship.  I am your Heavenly Dad, your Loving Papa.  That is what I do, protect you, provide for you, love you unconditionally, teach you, guide you and counsel you.
     Not only does My love lift you above the things of the earth, but it places you safe and secure in My sheltered arms where you find peace and joy.
     Love, God

ADDICTION VERSUS FREEDOM

Dear One,
     Addiction is an interesting spiritual being.  It can't live without you and it convinces you that you can't live without it.
     There are many kinds of addiction.  There is addiction to alcohol, addiction to drugs, addiction to anger, addiction to conflict, addiction to chaos, addiction to tobacco, addiction to gossip, addiction to politics, addiction to entertainment, addiction to communication devices, addiction to sexual lusts, addiction to food, addiction to lying, addiction to fear, addiction to perversion, addiction to worry, addiction to religious practices as a way to salvation, and many more.         
     A person who is addicted to something becomes a host to  an addiction spirit because the addiction can't act out its nature without a human body.  It can't satisfy its nature without a host, so you become the housing or the host for the addiction.   You fulfill the desires of its excessive cravings and you eventually become powerless to deny it the excessive activity that it desires.
     There are cures for addiction.  One is to make a firm decision to refuse to be manipulated by it. That is the beginning of the cure.  Then the second step is to resist the addictive cravings which exist to enslave you.  When you resist it long enough, it will decide to leave you and attach itself to another host who will fulfill its desire for earthly activity.  After the deliverance, the freed person needs to constantly again deny the addiction again and again so that he or she will not again become a willing host.
       Another way to cure a person of an addiction is to cast out the spirit of addiction from the person and cast it into the abyss where all evil spirits must go.  I have given My power to My children in the name of Jesus to fulfill that mission, to free the people who are in bondage to any kind of addiction.
     A lie that is perpetuated is that an addiction is just part of the person's makeup; therefore the person will just have to bear it.   The truth is that it is not part of the person, that it is an alien spirit who wishes to take away the free will of the person who is its host, manipulating the person until the person gives up and allows the spirit to completely control, eventually leading to death.
     You don't have to put up with being manipulated by any addictive spirit.  You can refuse the cravings that it uses to get you to surrender and obey its temptations.  You can speak to it and cast it away from you and into hell.
     Don't let any addiction be the lord of your life.  You are my child and the object of My affection. I desire that you be free of all bondages to addictions. 
     Love, God

SCHOOL OF LIFE

Dear One,
     Be prepared for everything that comes your way, the good and the bad, the convenient and the inconvenient, the exhilarating and the devastating.
     When you learn valuable life lessons from bad things that happen, then you are victorious over the bad things because you will defeat them the next time they try to defeat you by playing the same tricks.
     You might be surprised to learn that most bad things that happen can be traced back to a judgment thought of some kind.  That's why Jesus primarily and consistently cautioned My children not to judge because if you do you will be judged by the same demon  of judgment.   Unrighteous judgments of others are the most devious temptations that satan puts in the thoughts of My children because he knows if he can get you to judge others that he can bring the same judgment upon you by his evil ways.
     Also learn lessons from the good things that happen to you.  Learn to value the elements that work together for good for My children, like love, unity, forgiveness, mercy, faith, plus constructive thoughts and attitudes.
     You can key into My wisdom during troubling situations and you should seek My wisdom in beneficial situations.  You should make all situations a learning experience.
     Come to Me for My insight, knowledge and solutions to your prayers.   That's how we make you overcome all the destructive things in life.
     Love, God

LOVE HARVESTS

Dear One,
     Sharing testimonies of My love is sharing Me.  When you share Me you are passing on My love.
     Other people who hear about My acts of love toward you will begin to believe in me, trust Me and desire to know Me.  Where there is no evidence of My love shown to My children, there is no belief in the minds of those who don't know Me.
     When others hear about My love being manifested toward you, they will be confident that I am not the judge and I do not condemn people.  They have heard lies from religious people about My character. The erroneous witnesses have caused people to shrink in fear from Me.
     When they hear about My love manifested toward you and other believers, they will cautiously run toward Me, all because they have heard about My acts of love which reveal My true character.  When they hear more and more testimonies about My love, they will come closer and closer toward Me and they will begin to slowly open themselves up for Me to begin to also show My love to them.
     I said that all who call upon My name will be saved.  They will be saved from the judgment, condemnation and evil acts of satan, who is the author of the lies about My character and personality.
     Telling about My love and showing My love are becoming My witnesses because you have actually witnessed and exerienced My love first hand.
     My promises will become real to the ones to whom you have witnessed about My love and they will begin to experience the spiritual power of faith in Me, all because you shared My actions of love with them.   They will want what you have and what you have witnessed in your life, which is unity with Me because of becoming intimately acquainted with Me.
     Pass the love around.  It always boomerangs back to you, producing more and more of My love seeds.
     Love, God

OVERWHELMED AND OVERWORKED

Dear One,
     Yes, I have told you in the past that changes are good for you.  They cause you to stretch your mental faculties and welcome new and beneficial emotional stimuli.  As a result you grow in wisdom, knowledge and in favor with more and more people.
    There are instances, however, where too much change in too many different areas can often be detrimental to your entire physical, mental and spiritual systems.  There can be too much stress if changes are in multiple areas of your life at the same time with no prolonged relief.  Later there will be post traumatic stress that robs you of energy and stability.  You may not be conscious of its descent into your whole being until some areas of your life begin to fail, either your health, your emotional soundness or your spiritual well-being.
    When too many quick changes descend on you, you often can't deduce the reason for the exhaustion and emotional swings until you come to Me and ask for My insight into what has gone wrong.  When I tell you that there have been too many changes too fast with no rest or relief, you understand the cause.
    The cure for all exhaustion, either physical or emotional, is to relax, rest and treat yourself to some meditation time with complete R and R.
     From your mediation and your reasoning with Me, you will begin to hear words that bring peace and joy to you, which will slowly heal the frazzled emotions that were caused by too much change coming too soon.
    Being overwhelmed is the precursor to all traumatic stress effects.
    When you are at the point of being overwhelmed, it's time to stop, look and listen.  Stop the overabundance of activities or work.  Look at what is happening in your life.  Recognize the stress factors. Stop what has plunged you over the top emotionally.  Then listen to My Spirit tell you what is logical and beneficial for you to accomplish.  Follow up with doing nothing that you are not convinced is beneficial to your emotional health.
    You can't love others if you don't love yourself enough to gauge what is good for you.
     Very often your spiritual enemies have brought the overabundance of activities into your life to defeat you.  Learn to recognize that truth. 
     I can tell you what is extraneous and will lead to exhaustion.  I can also tell you what is necessary to accomplish that will benefit you and your family.
     I want you physically and emotionally sound.  As a result you will be a beacon of light and love in a busy and dark world.
     Love, God

ENERGY RESTORATION

Dear One,
     You can restore your energy that has been lost from worrying and fretting by first choosing to stop those nonproductive mental activities.  They negatively result in more stress and less accomplished goals 
     By choosing only the chores that are absolutely necessary, eliminating the ones that are causing the stress, you are on the way to enjoying the holy days or holidays. 
     Is that elaborate display of decorations really necessary or can it be relegated to the unnecessary pile?  No one will kill you if you don't get a particular self-imposed duty accomplished.
     The light in your own soul is what is important.  The joy that comes from having the time to communicate with Me and pass My love on to others is much more important than earthly displays.  Your love and joy can light up the souls of others when it has been spiritually charged by our times together.
     When you feel that your thoughts are beginning to loose their sense of peace and are heading toward stress that is spiritually, physical and emotionally detrimental, you can tell your mind and body to relax.  Take deep breaths and speak relaxing words to yourself.  Your will  is the real boss of your thoughts and your emotions. You can tell them to calm down and relax like you would an unruly child.
     You can light up the world with your love and your joy which you inherited from Me.  They will continue to bless others throughout the year and not be packed up with the decorations for the season.
     Enjoy the beauty and meaningfulness of what people term "the most wonderful time of the year" by only doing what will bring joy to you and others.
Love, God
Psalm 37:1-9; Matthew 6:27-34; Hebrews 12;1-2; Philippians 4:8.

STRESS REDUCERS

 Dear One,
     The attitudes of some of My children deny that this is the most wonderful time of the year, even though they sing that it is.
     Worrying and fretting add to the stress of the season.
     Shed all of the added chores or trim down and eliminate the normal chores until worry and stress fly out the window like the invaders that they are.
     Worry and fretting can rob you of your emotional and physical energy until you have no resources left with which to enjoy the wonderful time of the year.
     Relax and enjoy the love, the joy, the beauty and the celebration of the birth of the Savior who came to relieve you of all the stress.  He said, "My burden is light."   Lighten your own burden by only doing what needs to get done, not the lofty chores that you feel are necessary for this time of the year.
     These days are called holidays, or holy days, so make them holy by lightening your own load and the loads of other people.
     This is a time for celebration of life, not a time of depletion love, peace and joy.
      Restore the joy of your salvation by eliminating anything that is not conducive to life and happiness.
      Make these truly holy days.
      Love, God
Psalm 37:1-8; Matthew 11:30.

GOD'S GOOD PLEASURE

Dear One,
     It thrills Me with joy unspeakable when I see that you are thrilled with your answers to prayers.  When you are joyful, I'm a  joyful.
     I revel in the exuberance with which you express your joy.  It thrills Me to see that you are, yourself,  thrilled with My works in your behalf. 
    Many of My children who do not recognize My gifts and generosity in their behalf.  They skim over them like they were daily occurrences when, in reality, they are answers to their prayers.  That doesn't affect Me negatively.  I give because I love, not because of any expression of appreciation.  The expressions of appreciation and thanksgiving are important only because of the effects they have in the spiritual dimension.  Praise and thanksgiving clear the avenues from heaven to earth of any blockages and barriers which keep My children from receiving their rightful inheritance.
    So can you see why it thrills me to see you thrilled and appreciative?  It's because I know that your clearing of the avenues will be beneficial to you.
     I said that it is My good pleasure to give you the kingdom.  It increases My pleasure when you decide to accept My gifts and enjoy them.  My joy is complete when you are grateful for them because I know that more of My blessings will overtake you because you have blasted through earthly barriers with your gratefulness and then more of My gifts can flood into your life.
     Keep an eye out for even the tiniest evidence of My generosity toward you.  You miss them so often and consider them to be coincidences when they are, in fact, God incidences. 
     My gifts to you are endless.  For your own benefit, let your appreciation and gratefulness be endless.
                                                                             Love, God

SEEKING AND FINDING

Dear One,
     I send My love to you through many different messengers and with many different messages.   However, you must have the spiritual eyes and spiritual ears in order to recognize them.
      Messages may come in the still small voice inside of you, or in flowers, in butterflies, in billboards, in license plates, in casual remarks by strangers, in dialogue in movies, in words from songs, in print in newspapers and magazines, or may be in the words of children. They come any way that I feel that you can receive them.
     With diligence I am able to sneak My loving and encouraging words to you past blockages of confusion, unbelief, worry, fear, concern, and all evil conflicts.
      Remember how many times you sang, "Open my eyes that I might see glimpses of truth thou has for me.  Place in my hand that wonderful key that shall unlock and set me free.  Silently, Lord, I wait for thee; ready, my God, thy will to see.  Open my eyes, illumine me, Spirit divine."
     You sang it over and over and over, determined and eager to receive truths that would set you free.
     The desires of your heart were met and are still being met.  You are able to perceive spiritual truths that in the past you never understood.
     Asking Me to open your eyes to truths was, in essence, seeking Me and My kingdom.  Even singing the words of someone else who was asking for revelation knowledge opened you up to receiving My Spirit and the truths that He teaches which come from Me.
     You were unrelenting in your seeking to intimately know Me, which was a declaration to the evil spiritual principalities and powers of the air that you were choosing My family and My ways instead of their conflicting ones.  You chose life instead of death and blessings instead of curses.
     The revelations, wisdom and knowledge that came and still come as a result of your choosing My ways, My principles and the truths of My family, they flood into your mind precept by precept, line by line, here a little, there a little, only what you can handle at the time. As a result, everything beneficial has begun to overtake you.
     With My Holy Spirit as your teacher, you perceive and understand things that have been hidden in the past from My children by evil being.  Those revelations are  the wisdom and knowledge that sets men free.
     Continue in your journey to become intimately acquainted with Me so that you will be like Jesus and only say what you hear Me say and you only do what you see Me do.  Then the seeds you sow will yield love, peace and joy plants.
    Love, God

WONDERFUL CHOICES

Dear One,
     Looking forward is always the best advice you can be given. 
     The only time that looking backward is good for you is when you have learned valuable life lessons from the past mistakes or bad experiences.  Then, only look at the lessons you learned, not at the mistakes or bad experiences.
     Good experiences can be viewed as exhilarating experiences unless they cause you to become melancholy or cause you to live in the past.
     Looking forward with faith to what lies ahead is saying that you trust Me to bring good events and good experiences into your life because you are My child.
    You have heard it said to bury the past.  That means that the past is dead, the events are over and people and situations have changed.  So when you bury the past you open up the future for new and exciting things to happen for you.  When you breathe life into the bad experiences of the past by constantly reliving them in your mind, you cause your future to already be cursed in some way.
     When you truly have buried the past, your thoughts, attitudes and words spoken will change to ones of expectancy, having faith in Me to manifest My love for you in marvelous ways.  It's simply like changing the channels on your TV or changing stations on your radio or changing apps on your IPhone.  You change from the curses channel to the blessings channel by thinking on things that are good, true and of a good report. 
    You are in control of your own mind.  You permit what images will play on the screen of your mind, either good images or bad images.  I said many times to choose good and you will receive My blessings and the abundant life.
     Love, God

SPIRITUAL EDUCATIONS

Dear One,

     There are technicians who have expertise in repairing every kind of machine and equipment.  You are grateful for them and grateful to them for their knowledge, which you obviously don't have or you would fix things yourself.  They are well acquainted with the different elements of  equipment because of education, either formal or experiential. They also know the composition of the equipment and how every piece works, either independently or in conjunction with the other parts.  Some of the technicians have a natural affinity toward understanding the mechanisms but they still need to be educated or self taught with instruction books in order to be able to fix your equipment.
    It's the same things spiritually, some people have sought to be educated in the operations of the different aspects of My power available in My Holy Spirit and educated in the ministry of Jesus.  Those people have learned about My dealings with a certain nation with whom I made a specific covenant.  Also, some peoplee, because of genetics or mere desperation to know Me, do have a natural affinity toward knowing the dynamics of the war between good and evil.  They understand all of the effective weapons that My children can use to defeat evil in their lives and the lives of other people.   The spiritually educated people recognize the faces of evil and are not deceived.
     You must seek to know me intimately.  Then you must seek to know the inner workings of My spiritual dimension and its influences upon your entire existence.  That is called seeking My kingdom first, above everything else.  That is the secret to your success in every area.
     I am the spiritual expert and I have the expertise to teach you how to fix anything in your life that is broken.  Other people have sought My expertise.  Learn from them and their experiences, also.
     Love, God

BATTLE PLANS

Dear One,
     Strategy is the most important element in any war, in any battle, in any endeavor, in any business, in any sport, in any game or in any relationship.  Winning always depends upon strategy.
     Strategy is merely a game plan or an educated process toward attaining a goal.
     Think about strategy in relation to strengths and weaknesses.
     Think about strategy in relation to mental and spiritual power.
     Think about strategy in relation to your own game plans.
     Think about strategy in relation to wisdom and knowledge about your own spiritual weapons.
     Think about strategy by thinking about your knowledge of the battle that ensued between good and evil when Jesus rose from the dead and defeated your spiritual enemies in the spiritual dimension.  Think about the truth that when you simply mention his name that the demons cow in defeat.
     Strategy is knowing your righteousness, knowing your power and knowing your resources, all of which are provided by Me.  Strategy is knowing that you have a myriad of angelic forces behind you and ahead of you and surrounding you.
     Strategy is having a winning attitude, knowing that because you are My child that you will emerge a winner over evil and its plan for your defeat.
     Strategy is knowing the truth about overcoming evil with good and that it is strategy that always produces good results.
     Strategy is becoming what I ordained of you, that you become an overcomer
and victor in every battle because you are My child.
     My strategy was to send Jesus as payment for the sins of everyone in the world.  After His ministry in the earth was completed, My strategy was to send My Holy Spirit with My power into the world to live inside of My children.  My strategy was and is that My children use My power to defeat evil in their lives and the lives of others.
    My strategy always works.  Come to Me and learn the individual tenets of strategy that are necessary to defeat evil and restore love and peace into your life. Each battle has the same weapons but every battle has different strategies.  That's why you must clear your mind of earthly confusion and learn to hear from Me.  There is a battle plan available and it's called My wisdom.
     Love, God

IT'S CALLED GRACE

Dear One,
     Accepting everyone you know and accepting everyone you meet just the way they are is a step in the direction of operating in My grace.
     You have unmerited favor with Me and I look beyond any and all imperfections in habits, features, speech affectations, unpleasant actions, sins, transgressions or iniquities. You are cleansed already by the heavenly washing cycle of the sacrifice of Jesus.
    Grace sees every person as perfect in My eyes, therefore perfect in your eyes if you are operating in My grace.
    Grace does not allow any judgmental thoughts and grace does not display judgmental actions.
     When your thoughts begin to turn into the vein of judgment and you entertain those thoughts for hours and hours, you have left My gift of grace for yourself and others.
      When you find that your thoughts have turned judgmental, you must rapidly gird up the loins of your mind and change to grace thoughts, seeing the good in people, seeing the needs of the less fortunate rather than seeing the unpleasantness.  Bring the person or persons into your love and cleanse them and heal them of all perceived imperfections.  Then, whomever sins you forgive are forgiven.  You can either do the act of grace or you can retain their imperfections by judging them, thus signing yourself up for judgment by others.
     All people you encounter are deserving of My grace and your grace just like you are deserving of My grace, simply because Jesus died for all the shortcomings of men.   All have fallen short of the high marks.
     Let love and grace flow from your mind, cleansing your thoughts on the way toward extending love to others.  Then you are operating as My child, deserving of My forgiveness and operating in my forgiveness and grace.
     Love, God

PROPHESY PROTECTS

Dear One,
     You prepare your children when it looks like situations are going to arise that might be upsetting.
     Does it seems unusual that I do the same thing with My Children? 
     I warn you, I train you in spiritual warfare, I prepare you so that nothing will overwhelm you. 
     My warnings are called prophesy and they are showing you things to come, just like what I said about the Holy Spirit is one of His functions.
     I know the devastating activities that the evil has planned for you.   I will warn you, cue you, alert you and impress you to the coming dangers.  Then it is up to you to use My spiritual powers and My wisdom to defeat the evil plans. 
     Staying in communication with Me is the secret.  Then you will be able to discern evil intentions because I have alerted you.  I will even tell you the strategy with which evil can be defeated.  The intricate strategies are pertinent to each attack.
     I am your Father.  Of course I do that for you. That's part of My protection.
    Love, God

BEING HEADSTRONG

Dear One,
     A person can be headstrong in a positive way and a person can be headstrong in a negative way.
     A person who is headstrong in a negative way will be stubborn, rebellious, rigid,  unteachable and unreasonable, which results in being a loser in life with no sense of living peacefully in a community with others.
     A person who is headstrong in a positive way will be determined, goal oriented, diligent, flexible, teachable and reasonable, which will result in being a winner in life. with skills which will enable the person living peacefully with others.
     My first disciples had to be determined, diligent, goal oriented, teachable, willing to listen to the teachings of Jesus, diligent in obeying what He asked of them and they were determined to withstand the persecutions that were heaped upon them.
     The secret to being headstrong in a positive way is to stay humble and teachable, yet determined to seek My wisdom and knowledge above everything else. 
     Being headstrong in a negative way is to be prideful, unteachable and inflexible.
     The humble inherit My blessings but pride goes before a fall.  Being headstrong with pride takes you on a downward spiral to the bottom.  Being humble and teachable takes you on an upward path to the top where success in every area of life is enjoyed.
     Paul said he strived to attain the high calling of Christ, putting His eyes on Jesus, the author and finisher of his faith.
     Being headstrong negatively is from hell. 
     Being headstrong positively is part of My kingdom coming to earth in your life.
                                             Love, God

SPIRITUAL 9-11

Dear One,
     Be patient with people who show no interest or need in having a relationship with Me and reaping the benefits of being My child. 
     There are instances where people are able  in some way or manner to defeat the works of the devil in their lives by sheer determination accompanied by educated knowledge and insight.  The time will come when they will be able to find neither the strength nor the ability to turn the tides of evil and be their own hero in the situation.  At that time in life there will be a need for some added spiritual strength and power, so My help will be needed.
     In the past, if that person has heard what I have done to save another person from defeat, then calling out for Me for assistance will be automatic.  I will be there immediately to give My supernatural help in the time of need.  My grace will be sufficient, just like it was for you and still is sufficient and available to you.
     Your timetable for My salvation is not always the timetable for another person.  That is why patience without condemnation is necessary in every instance.  If you condemn and pridefully look upon others who seem to have no need for Me, then you have tainted their image of Me because of the attitudes and actions of My children.  So in a time of need they might be reluctant to appeal to Me for My help, thinking that their relationship with Me might produce pride and condemnation toward other people in their lives. 
      Treat every person like he or she is already My child, with love, patience, mercy, goodness, kindness and forgiveness.  Then when there is a need, they will want to join Our family and reap the benefits.
      I told you that faith speaks the things that are not as though they were.  Inclusion and reconciliation are the fulfillment of that spiritual principle.  There are no human enemies of My children.  There are only spiritual, demonic enemies who are your enemies.  They influence humans to do evil things.   So treat all humans as if they were already your brothers and sisters and you will not be a stumbling block when the need arises in them for a savior.  They will want to know Me because you have represented Me in My true nature.
     Love, God
I John 3:8-11; Matthew 5:43-48; Romans 4:17; John 13:34-35;Ephesians 2:7-11; II John 1:4-6.
