CHARGING THE BATTERIES
My Dear Precious Child,
   Jude reiterated his warning about the time coming that the other apostles wrote about, that there would be people who sneer at the teachings of Christ Jesus and the apostles, people who know nothing but their own desires for wickedness.  He wrote that they are unspiritual and selfish, being nothing but mischief makers.  Contrasting those unspiritual people with My children of promise, Jude wrote that his dear friends who are believers must use their own holy faith as their foundation and build on it by praying in the Holy Spirit.  He said that by building on their faith that they would keep themselves within My love and the mercy of the Lord Jesus Christ to give them eternal life, which they already possessed in their spirits but when they shed their earthly bodies they would have new spiritual bodies as supplied by Me.(Jude 17-22)
   Paul was the other apostle who encouraged My children to pray in the Holy Spirit, writing in his letter to the Ephesians that My children should never battle against human beings, but to only battle against the devil's principalities and powers in the spiritual dimension by praying in the Holy Spirit.  Paul described the armor that I give to My children that protects them in battles with demons.  They are My truth, My righteousness, the gospel of peace, the authoritative power of My Holy Spirit and your salvation supplied by the Lord Jesus Christ.  He told you to pray at all times in the Holy Spirit, keeping alert to pray with prayers and supplications for all the saints.  Notice that he said to pray AT ALL TIMES IN THE HOLY SPIRIT.  His instructions to pray in the language of the Holy Spirit were specific, knowing that My Words which proceed from your mouth will not return void, but will accomplish that which they are sent by Me to accomplish in answering your prayers. (Jeremiah 1:9-11)
    Jude added some instructions to his admonition to you to pray in the Holy Spirit, saying that when some of your fellow believers have doubts that you are to reassure them, and when there are some who need to be saved from demonic fires that you are to pull them out.  However, he warned that there are some people to whom you must be kind with great caution, keeping your distance from fleshly coverings which are contaminated by vice.  Yes, there are some people about whom Jude warned who must be loved from a distance but you are to still pray for them, pulling them out of the fires of hell.  That is easily accomplished by your praying in the Holy Spirit for them, sending the fire of My Holy Spirit to burn the evil demons out of them.  Remember that Paul also said that I am a consuming fire, spiritually burning the demons out of helpless people who are deceived and lost. (Hebrews 12:29; Ezekiel 10:2; Romans 12:20) 
   His closing remarks in his letter gave glory and praise to Me, saying that I can keep you from falling for the lies of the false prophets, and that I can safely bring you innocent and happy into My glorious presence.  Jude identified Me as the only God who saves you from evil through the power of Lord Jesus Christ.  To Me he ascribed the glory, the majesty, the authority and the power which I have always had and still have now and forever.   I share My kingdom, My power and My glory with My children of promise.  Christ Jesus prayed for it and died for it.  They became yours when I came to live inside of you in the person of My Holy Spirit. (I Corinthians 6:20)  You have My treasure in your human body.  (I Corinthians 3:16)
    Treasure My Holy Spirit who lives inside of you with the value and honor that He deserves.  After all, He is My Very Own Holy Spirit.  He created eternal life on the inside of you so that you would have power over demonic works.  He deserves your praise and honor in the same degree that Christ Jesus gave to Him. (John 14:15-21; John 16:7-15)

MERCY VS. JUDGMENT FOR FALSE PROPHETS
My Dear Precious Child,
   Jude took a page from Peter, as they say, when he wrote a letter raining judgment upon the people who lead believers astray.  He was referring to those people who were false prophets but appeared to be knowledgeable prophets, proclaiming the legitimacy of gaining salvation by obeying Mosaic Law in conjunction with the true Good News of faith in Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of sins.  Jude proclaimed that the false prophets would get what they deserved because they had followed Cain, Balaam and Korah, with murder in their hearts against the true gospel, and also rebelling against the teachings of the true prophets and mistaking the lies that come from combining the old covenant teachings with My new covenant of the Holy Spirit.  That heresy is the same warning that came from Jesus Christ about putting new wine inside of old wine skins.  It bursts the wine skins and makes waste of the new wine.  He wrote that those false prophets deserve the same fate as Cain, Balaam and Korah. (Jude 11) 
   Dangerous obstacles is what Jude called the false prophets and teachers, obstacles at their community meals, joining in with the believers merely for the food and shamelessly looking only after themselves.  He said they were clouds that are blown around by the wind, bringing no rain, and they are like barren trees that are uprooted in winter, thus being twice dead.  He compared them to wild sea waves capped with shame and shooting stars bound for an eternity of black darkness.  Jude wrote that it was the false prophets and unbelievers that Enoch prophesied about that I would come with tens of thousands of My saints and pronounce judgment upon them, sentencing the wicked for the wicked things that they had done and the defiant things the irreligious sinners had said against Christ. (Jude 12-16)  He identified them as grumblers and mischief makers who are governed by their own desires with mouths full of boastful talk and flattery for other people when they see advantage in it for themselves.  It was those descriptions that identified the Pharisees, Sadducees, scribes, high priests, priests and elders of the temples, the very people who were responsible for the death of Jesus Christ, being identified by Me as being anti-Christ.   
   You must remember that those false prophets had led astray the new converts who had become believers in Christ Jesus.  They influenced My children to become in unity with the very men who had crucified Christ Jesus.  When He rose from death and hell, Christ sent My Holy Spirit to live inside of My children of promise and He gave them power over demons.  The enemies of Christ Jesus transferred their persecution from Him and onto My children of promise since Christ had ascended into My heaven to sit down with Me, giving the rest of His ministry to My Holy Spirit who took up residence in My children of promise with the promise that they would do greater things.  The greater things are that My children of promise have the authority to cast demons out of people in the earth and into hell, which Christ was not able to do when He ministered in the earth.  He could only cast demons out of people, not send the demons to hell, because he had not yet been to hell to take back My authority to all the heavens and earth from the devil and then give it to My children. (Matthew 28:16-20) It is a great gift for My children to have My authority of My Holy Spirit to cast demons out of people and out of the earth and banish them to hell, knowing that My angels would usher the demons into hell, according to the teaching on the kingdom of heaven by Christ Jesus. (Matthew 13:36-42 )
    My children must have revelations of their having the power of My Holy Spirit living inside of their bodies so that they will allow Him to complete the ministry of Christ Jesus in the earth of destroying the works of the devil in the earth by casting the demons into hell. (I John 3:8)  It is the fulfillment of My gift of salvation to My children, giving them the greater authoritative power of My Holy Spirit to cast demons into hell after He retrieved the authority back from the devil when He defeated Him in hell.  After all, it was the power of My Holy Spirit that raised Christ Jesus from the dead.  The greater works to which Christ Jesus was referring when He said that My children of promise would do greater works actually came into being for My children when Christ relinquished the power of My Holy Spirit and sent Him into My children of promise after He sat down with Me in My heaven, thus giving them the authoritative power to cast demons into hell after casting them out of themselves and other people. 
    Jude and Peter in their disgust for the false prophets forgot that the last request that Christ Jesus made when He was dying on the cross was that I would forgive His persecutors and murderers because they didn't know what they were doing. (Luke 23:34)  Those apostles forgot that Christ taught you to forgive your enemies, to love them, to do good to them and to pray for them.  He didn't change His message of love and mercy just because His enemies were responsible for killing Him.  Even during the pain afflicted to the human part of Him, Christ made sure that I forgave His murderers because He had already forgiven them. 
   Unfortunately, the flesh of My children of promise who are born of My Spirit and baptized in My Holy Spirit can still be influenced by the demons of judgment who tempt My children to rain judgment on people who persecute them instead My children continuing the ministry of Christ through My Holy Spirit of forgiving the sins of blasphemers, persecutors, physical and verbal abusers of My children who harass and kill them.  Christ Jesus gave the perfect example and it was not to judge their persecutors. (Matthew 7:1)  The perfect example is to forgive them because they don't know what they are doing when they act under the influence of the devil and his demons. 
   Pray for false prophets instead of judging them.  In your praying for them and doing good to them, My angels baptize them with the fire of My Holy Spirit, causing the demons to lose control over them and instead allowing Me to introduce My Good News to them.  The fires of My Holy Spirit can burn out the demons from your enemies just like they did with you when you were baptized in My Holy Spirit.  (Matthew 3:11-12: Romans 12:20)
   You must imitate Christ Jesus instead of imitating the apostles in the weaknesses of their flesh.  Peter and Paul spent several years in opposition to each other until they made peace with each other after yielding to My guidance.  My children must imitate the attitudes and actions of Christ in their lives, even forgiving their enemies, which is what I taught to them through My Son Jesus Christ.

JUDE'S INSTRUCTIONS AND WARNINGS

My Dear Precious Child,
   Jude was a believer in Christ Jesus and he was the brother of the disciple and apostle James.  He wrote his letter to the believers who were called by Me into safety through the Lord Jesus Christ.  The theme in his letter to the believers in the churches was chiefly the salvation of people who were called by Me to be believers and members of My kingdom of heaven which came to reside in My children when they became born of My Holy Spirit and baptized in My Holy Spirit.  He began his letter by telling the believers that, in essence, they were engaged in a battle and that they would have to fight hard for the faith which was given to them by the Holy Spirit, saying that My faith that resided in them had been, once and for all, entrusted to the saints. (Jude 1-4) It is the same in your day, you have to fight for the faith that I have given to you, not allowing your enemy, the devil, to rob you of your faith.  (Matthew 13:18-23)
    In Jude's brief letter, he distinctly wrote that certain unscrupulous religious people had infiltrated their churches.  He wrote that those people were the very ones whom they had been warned about in writings long ago when they were warned about the false prophets who were condemned themselves for denying all religion, also turning My grace into immorality and they rejected the only really good master and Lord Jesus Christ.  He reminded the believers about how I had rescued  the children of Israel from Egypt but the people who became disobedient to My guidance that I gave to them were destroyed before they entered into My promised land that I had prepared for them.  Their destruction came from their obedience to the sins of the devil to which they had chosen to unite themselves.  (Jude 5)
    Jude also reminded the believers about the angels who were thrown out of My heaven because of their rebellion against Me.   They are to be judged by My born again children who are baptized in My Holy Spirit.  My Spirit is the power who was inside of My Son Christ Jesus which gave Jesus Christ the spiritual and authoritative power to cast out demons from people and to heal the sick and diseased people.  Those rebellious angels became known and identified by Christ Jesus as demons. I warned you through Jude and other writers of letters, as well as warning you through Christ Jesus, about their demonic intents and their desire to destroy you and cause your death.  The demons who led the inhabitants of Sodom and Gomorrah astray are paying for their crimes in the eternal fires of hell.
(Jude 6-7)
    In his letter to believers, Jude wrote that false prophets and unscrupulous people do the same thing as the demons, they cause My children to defile their bodies and disregard My authority in their lives, but they also abuse My glorious angels as well.  The archangels Michael, in arguing with the devil for the corpse of Moses, Micheal did not denounce the demon in abusive language, but instead he only said, "Let the Lord correct you."   Jude wrote that the false prophets and unscrupulous people abuse everything they do not understand; and the things they do understand and in which their place their devotion will turn out to kill them because they have, like Cain, rushed to embrace evil and they will suffer the consequences of participating in the sins of the devil.  The consequences come from hell, not from Me. (Jude 8-10)
    Jude reminded My children that the cause of all sin and disobedience is the devil and his demons.  They tempt My children to do the devil's evil deeds in the world and then they cause My children to be judged for their evil deeds by inheriting the devil's destruction and death.  It is a terrible thing to be deceived and fall into the hands of the devil.  I sent My Son Jesus into the world to save My children from the works and curses of the devil.  That is called salvation, to give you the power to refuse to follow the devil's temptations and instead to defeat him in your life on earth by the power of My Holy Spirit and the sacrificial blood of Jesus Christ who paid the price for your sins by going to hell in your place.  He rose out of hell by the power of My Holy Spirit and sent the same Holy Spirit into your body so that you would be able to save yourself and your family from the clutches of the devil who roams the earth and seeks whom he desires to destroy and kill.  My children of faith must win the spiritual war over the devil and preserve their faith so that they will receive My multitude of blessings because I am able to bless you super abundantly over and above all that you can think, ask or desire, infinitely beyond your highest prayers, desires, thoughts, hopes or dreams, all according to the power of My Holy Spirit who lives inside of you.  (Ephesians 3:20)

REPEAT AND REPEAT IT AGAIN

My Dear Precious Child,
    In John's second letter to the believers in the churches John sent greetings to a lady and her children, referring to the body of Christ in the church who were receiving his letter.  He referred to the church as being a lady, and her children as being the believers in the church.  He had great respect and Christian love in the truth, and he mentioned that she, meaning the church to whom he wrote, was one chosen one by Me.  He said that he wasn't the only person who loved her in the truth, referring to the entire body of Christ, because so did everyone who knew the truth.  He said that they loved her because of the truth that lived in them and will be with them forever.  He professed that in their life of truth and love means that they would have grace, mercy and peace from Me and from Jesus Christ, My Son. (2 John 1-3)
    He also wrote that it brought him great joy to find that the children of the believers had been living the life of truth as they were all commanded to do by Me.   John's reason for sending the second letter was not to give the believers a new commandment but to emphasize the one that they were given in the beginning and to plead with them to love one another.  He even wrote that to love everyone is to live according to My commandments, just like Jesus Christ taught, even loving their enemies.  He repeated again that this is the commandment that they had heard from the beginning, that being to live a life of love.  To John life in the Holy Spirit was simple, that being to love everyone as I love everyone and the world that I created. (2 John 4-6; John 3:16-17; John 13:34-36)
    John's two main themes in all of his letters were to encourage the believers to love everyone just like I love them, and to allow the Holy Spirit to discern the deceivers who are sent from hell to lead My children astray by returning to the old covenant Law as their only means of salvation, thus rejecting Christ Jesus and My means of salvation.  He reiterated in his second letter the same truth about the deceiver, that being that the spirit of antichrist whom Jesus Christ had taught to His disciples was already in the world when He ministered the truth, and John  wanted them to know that the antichrist spirit was still in the world when John wrote his letters to the churches.  He said for them to watch themselves for the deceiver because all of the work of the apostles would be lost and they would not be able to receive the rewards which I had for their works if the believers were to return to Mosaic Law.  His warning increased when he wrote that if anyone does not keep within the teachings of Jesus Christ but instead goes beyond it, or adds to it, that the person does not have Me within him; that only those people who keep to what Christ taught can have My life and the life of Christ inside of him or her.(2 John 7-9)
    He was more restrictive than Peter and Paul.  He told the believers that if anyone came to their houses bringing a different doctrine, that they must not receive the person into their houses or even give a greeting to the false prophets.  He went on to say that to merely greet the false prophet would make the believer a partner in the wicked work of the false prophet. (I John 10-11) John's strictness derived from his knowledge that the believers were young in the knowledge of spiritual things and their inexperience would make them vulnerable
    In that short letter John wrote what was the most important thing to him in the body of Christ, that being that they live a life of love and that they watch for the deceiver who is anti Christ, refusing to believe that Jesus Christ was the One in whom they had waited to be their Savior.  He said that there were several other things that he had to tell the believers, but he thought it best not to trust the matters to paper and ink.  He hoped to talk to them personally about the matters when he visited them personally, assuring them that their joy would be complete when He arrived. (2 John12)
    John issued greetings to the believers from those whom he called the children of their sister, which referred to the believers in the local church from which his letter was sent. (2 John 13)

THE VICTORIOUS ONES

My Dear Precious Child,
   The apostle John asked in his first letter who can overcome the evil that's in the world?  He answered his own question by saying that only the man who believes that Jesus is My Son; Jesus being the Christ who came into the world by water and blood, not with water only but with water and blood, with the Holy Spirit as another witness.  He wrote that the Holy Spirit is the truth, so that there are three witnesses, the Holy Spirit, the water and the blood.  All three of them agree that Jesus Christ is My Son, as I proclaimed after He was baptized by John the Baptist when I announced that He is My Son in whom I am well pleased.(I John 5:5-8) 
   John said that the witnesses of humans are accepted but My testimony is much greater.  He wrote that My testimony was given as evidence as My Son being the Christ.  You have My testimony inside of you that He is My Son and anyone who does not believe Me is making Me out to be a liar because he has not trusted the testimony that I gave about My Son:  everybody who believes in Christ as My Son has this testimony inside of him or her that life is in My Son and that anyone who has My Son has My life, but anyone who does not have My Son does not have My life inside of him or her which overcomes the evil that is in the world.  John's reason for writing his letter to the believers in the churches is so that you who believe in the name of My Son may be certain that you have My eternal life inside of you while you live in the earth and in the world to come. (I John 5:9-13)
    With certainty John assured My children that if you ask Me for anything that is in accordance with My will, that I will hear you; and knowing that whatever you ask, I hear you; and you know that you have already been given what you asked of Me, which is to be baptized in My Holy Spirit.  He also assured you and the other believers that if you see anyone commit  a sin that is not a deadly sin, that you need only to pray and I will give life to the sinner.  He qualified that by writing that there is a sin that brings death, and that is called a deadly sin, but John wrote that you must not pray about that.  He explained that every kind of wrongdoing is sin but there is a sin that brings death, but not all sin is deadly. (I John 5:14-17)
     John repeated what he wrote, what Paul wrote, what James wrote, what Peter wrote and what Christ Jesus said, that being that anyone who has been born of the Holy Spirit, begotten by Me, does not sin because Christ Jesus protects you, causing the evil one to not be able to touch you.  You know that you belong to Me but the inhabitants of the whole world lies in the power of the evil one.  You know, however, that My Son came into the world and has given to you the power of My Holy Spirit so that you might intimately know Me, the only true God.  You are in Me, the true God, because you are in My Son, Christ Jesus.  He proclaimed that I am the true God and to know Me is to have My eternal life inside of you. (I John 5:18-20)
     The closing remark in John's first letter is a warning that you must be on guard against false gods which many people preach.  Let no man or false prophet keep you from My Love and My forgiveness. (I John 5:21)

TEST AND DISCERN THE SPIRITS

My Dear Precious Child,
    John launched right into warning about the antichrist a second time in his second letter to My children in the churches.  He told you to test the spirits to see if they come from Me because you cannot trust every spirit.  The true test is if the spirit acknowledges that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh and is from Me.  Any spirit that will not say that Jesus is from Me is the spirit of antichrist, whose coming into the earth you were warned about.  Then John emphatically said that, well, now he is here in the world.  He reminded the believers that they had already overcome those false prophets because you and the believers are from Me and you have inside of you One who is greater than anyone in the world; but, as for the false prophets, he wrote that they are of the world and they speak the language of the world and the people in the world listen to them.  However, you are My children and those people who are of Me will listen to My teachers.  He knew that the people who are not of Me will not listen to Me or to the teachers and apostles.  He declared that that is how you can tell the spirit of truth from the spirit of falsehood.
     He could not get off of his favorite subject which was My love.  He wrote one of the most quoted phrases in My Instruction Book, that being that you must love one another since love comes from Me and everyone who loves is born by Me and knows Me.  To contrast, he wrote that everyone who fails to love everyone has never known Me, because I am love.  My love was revealed to My children when I sent My Son Jesus Christ into the world, My first Begotten Son, so that you could have life through Him.  John clarified it by writing that it is His love for you, not your love for Him, but His love for you when I sent My Son into the world so that you would have life through Him, and so that He would take away all of your sins.  (I John 1-10) The false prophets have no way to forgive you of your sins and give My own righteousness to you.   
    John wrote that no one has ever seen Me, but as long as you love one another, then I will live in you and your love will be complete.  You can know that He is living in you and you are living in Me because you share the Holy Spirit with Me.  The disciples testified that they saw Him and they testify that they have put their faith in Jesus, My Son.  I live in My children and they put their faith in My love toward them.  John wrote that I am love and anyone who lives and acts in love actions lives in Me and I live in that person.  Perfect love comes from Me and love is perfect in you when you can face the day of judgment without fear because even in this world you have become like Me.  Fear cannot be present when you have become My love because fear expects punishment and anyone who expects punishment is still imperfect in love.  You become love only because I first loved you.  You must remember that anyone who says that he or she loves me but hates his brother or sister is a liar since a person who does not love the brother or sister that he can see also cannot love Me, whom he or she has not seen.  John again reviewed the commandment that anyone who loves Me must love his brother and sister in the world. (I John 4:11-21)
    Anyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ has been born by Me; and whoever loves Me, who has caused you to be born of My Spirit, will love My Son who was My first begotten Son.  You can be absolutely 100 % certain that you love all of My children if you, yourself, love Me and do what I have commanded you.  Again John simplified his message in the letter by writing that loving Me is keeping My commandments and they are not too difficult because anyone who has been born from Me has already overcome the evil that's in the world and your faith is what gives you victory over the evil that's in the world. (I John 5:1-4)
    There is not any other place in any of the writings of the disciples and apostles that so clearly and succinctly lays out the truth about My love. 
    My Beloved Child, only when you love your brothers and sisters in the world can you truly profess and prove to the heavens that you love Me.  
   Perfect love casts out all fear because there is no punishment for My children.  Love never punishes.  My love brings freedom from the devil's punishment. 
   Your Father of Victory Over Fear

JOHN'S VIEWS OF GOOD VERSUS EVIL

JOHN'S VIEWS OF GOOD VERSUS EVIL
My Dear Precious Child,
   After the apostle John extolled My love and its many rewards in his letter to the believers, he warned My children about the evils of the spirits of antichrist which deceive My children and even is successful in enticing them away from the Good News of Christ Jesus and place people back under the Law of sin and death.  Some of My own born again children became enticed back into the pig pen of being enslaved by the devil and his passions of the flesh by the lust for power, sex and political attention, plus the domination of others for their own selfishness which brings fears and worries.  John was so enamored and humbled by My love that he was compelled in his letter to again praise Me for My merciful love for all of My children.  (I John 3:1) 
    John wrote that My children must think constantly about the love that I have lavished on you by allowing you to be called My children because that is what you are.  He reminded you that because the people of the world, and especially the children of the Mosaic Law, refuse to acknowledge Christ Jesus, they also do not acknowledge My children.  He wrote convincingly, addressing you as "my dear people," and reminding you that you are already My children, but what you are to be in the future has not been revealed.  However, as you know, the truth is that when He is revealed to you, you will be like Christ because you will see Him as He really is. (I John 3:1-2)
      He wrote that, surely, everyone who entertains that hope must purify themselves and try to be as pure as Christ was when He walked in the earth.  He knew that sinning is breaking the law.  But you know that the reason I sent Him to earth was to abolish sin, and anyone who sins has never seen Him or known Him.  He repeated his admonishment that he earlier wrote, that you should not let anyone lead you astray; but, instead, you must live a holy life and be holy as Christ is holy.  Only by the power of My Holy Spirit can you do it by refusing the temptations that creep into your mind from hell because to lead a sinful life is to belong to the devil who was a sinner from the beginning.  John wrote that My Son appeared in the earth to defeat the works of the devil.  
    John's explanation on how to stay holy is the knowledge that no one who has been born of My Holy Spirit sins because My seed of life, the Holy Spirit, lives in you. (I John 3:3-10)  He is the same Holy Spirit who spiritually went into Mary and created My Son Jesus, and He enters into your own spirit and creates a new individual, My child of promise who endeavors to do My will so that you receive My inheritance of life, love, peace and joy instead of the devil's inheritance of destruction and death.  My Holy Spirit changes your genetic makeup to My family of goodness and kindness.  My kingdom of love becomes your true country of origin and citizenship.
    John's instruction on how to distinguish My children from the children of the devil is that anybody not living a holy life and not loving his or her brother is no child of Mine.  He reminded you and My other children that that truth is what you heard from the beginning, that you are to love one another.  He said not to be like Cain, who belonged to the evil one, and cut his brother's throat simply because his own life was evil and his brother lived a good life. 
    The apostle John explained in his letter that you should not be surprised if the unbelievers hate you.  You have passed from death into life and you prove it by loving your brothers and sisters in the earth.  He even said that if you refuse to love the unlovable people in the world, then you must be dead because to hate anyone is to be a murderer, and murderers do not have My eternal life in them. (I John 3:11-15)
    The letter emphasized that what has taught love to you is the example of Jesus Christ who gave up his life on earth for you, so you should give up the hatred, the selfishness, the pride, the deceit, the conflict, the division, the bitterness for other people and the old life which was motivated by the fleshly passions.  He said if a person is blessed with riches and he or she sees that one of his brothers or sisters is in need but closes his heart to the needy, how can My love be living in that person?   His insight is that My love is not just in words but is real which results in kind and good actions.  Only by this can you know that you are a child of the Truth and be able to quieten your conscience, because I know everything.  John surmised that if your own conscience does not condemn you, then you will not be afraid in My presence.  Whatever you ask of Me, you will receive because you keep My commandments and live the kind of life that I ask you to live, unencumbered by the devil's sins.  John quoted a condensed version of what Christ taught to the disciples, that My commandments are that you believe in the name of My Son Jesus Christ and that you love one another as Christ told you to do.  He simplified it even more by saying that I live in whomever keeps My commandments and that person also lives in Me.   He wrote that you know that He lives in you by the indwelling presence of the Holy Spirit which He gave to you.  (I John 3:16-24) 
   Oh, that My children would live in My love, the same love that I lavish upon them.  When you do, you are truly My children because you have loved other people just like I love you.  It is the power of My Holy Spirit who empowers you to do what Paul told you to do: if your enemy is hungry you must feed him, if he is thirsty then you must give him drink, and if he injures you then you must turn the other cheek, then you must forgive him and pray for him.  I said through Paul that when you treat your enemies with love that you are sending the angels to minister to their thoughts by enticing them to desire to make peace with you because you have summoned My forces of love to act in the situation instead of the devil's demons of conflict and war. (Romans 12:20; Proverbs 25:21-22; Ezekiel 10:2)  My Love is power, the most powerful force in the earth and the heavens. 
   Beloved, you must love one another because love comes from Me.  I said that love covers a multitude of sins, yours and the person to whom you extend My love. (James 5:20; I Peter 4:8)

JOHN'S WARNINGS

My Dear Precious Child,
   John's assurances in his writings to the churches were first of all about My Love and about the love of Christ Jesus for people.  As was Peter's and Paul's habit, John also began his letters of warnings and corrections with an abundance of compliments to the believers in the churches, plus words of encouragement and then praises for the Savior Christ Jesus in His ministry of dying for the sins of the whole world.  Then all of the apostles wrote an abundance of warnings about the false prophets who were roaming around and in the churches, like the devil, seeking whom they may deceive and devour. (I John 1:1-17)
    After the old Mosaic Law became null and void because of the disobedience of the Jewish people to our contract, John identified the false prophets as antichrists, because they opposed Christ. He said that it was prophesied that when My new and last covenant with My earthly children was instituted he proclaimed that My children were in the days of My new and last covenant of the Holy Spirit.  It had been prophesied that the majesty and efficiency of the new and last covenant was that My Holy Spirit would come to live inside of My children and that I would write My words individually in their minds and on their hearts, and that I would never remember their sins again.  (Jeremiah 31:31-33; Joel 3:1-5; Acts 2:1-4)  John told the readers of his letter that several antichrists had already come.  When Jesus Christ ministered in the earth He said that the spirit of antichrist was in the world then.  He was speaking of the Pharisees, Sadducees, scribes, the high priests, the priests and the elders of the temple.  They are the political and religious officials who had opposed every truth that came out of the mouth of Jesus Christ.  Jesus Christ said that they would come in the last days, meaning the days of My last covenant with My children, which is called the covenant of the Holy Spirit. (I John 1:18) They perform the same blasphemies that they did to Jesus Christ, except they do them to My children of promise who bear My name.  The letters of Paul, James, Peter and John warn you against them.
    John wrote that the rivals of Christ had come out of their own community of religious people.  They left unity with Me because they never really belonged to Me.  They belonged to an old religious sect which was constantly disobeying Me and turning to false idols as a replacement for Me.  He said that he was writing to My children who were anointed by My Holy Spirit and who had all received revealed knowledge.  He knew that they knew the truth already and that no lie can come from the truth.  However, he identified an antichrist as what the person is, one who denies that Jesus is the Christ.  He called him or her a liar and an antichrist because he or she denies Me as the Father as well as denying Jesus as My Son.  He wanted you and My other children to know that no one who has Me as their God can deny My Son, and that to acknowledge My Son is to know Me as well. (I John 1;19-23)
     His advice was to keep alive in yourself what you were taught in the beginning, that Jesus Christ is My Son and that He died for the sins of the whole world.  When you keep that truth alive in you, you will live in My Son and in Me.  What is promised to you is My precious promise of your having My eternal life inside of you because you are born of My Holy Spirit.  John wrote that that is all that he was going to write to them about the people who were trying to lead them astray, trusting that it was enough warning.  He even told the readers of his letter that they have not lost the anointing of the Holy Spirit which was given to them by Christ, so they did not need anyone to teach them.  He wrote that the anointing of the Holy Spirit teaches you everything because you are anointed with truth, not a lie. (I John 1:24-27)
   His advice was for you and My other children to live in Christ so that when He appears, whether in your life or at your death, that you will have full confidence and not turn away from Him in shame.  John reminded the readers of the letter about My righteousness and told them that everyone whose life is righteous has been born of Me and has My nature of righteousness.  He was quoting My Son Jesus Christ and the apostles Paul, James and Peter who said that if you love Me that you will keep My instructions which are given to protect you from the traps set by the devil and his demons who are in the world.  You can't see the demons, but they have their emissaries.  They also tempt you in your mind with the deceitfulness of riches, the lusts of the flesh and the cares and worries of the world. (Matthew 13:18-23)  You must learn to recognize them so that you can resist them, refusing to do their will, and put them under your feet of authority and the feet of authority of Christ.(Luke 10:17-19; Hebrews 10:12-24)
    Learning to recognize the antichrists who are in the world and refusing to hear their lies will allow you to become firmly established in Me and My love.  The antichrists want you to love and be in unity with them instead of loving Me and being in unity with Me.  They offer lies, deceit, destruction and death.  I offer love, joy, peace, goodness, kindness, faith, mercy, patience and long suffering.   One choice comes from Me and brings life and the other one comes from hell and brings destruction and death.  Always choose to choose Me and life.(Isaiah 7:15; Deuteronomy 30:19)

JOHN'S FIRST LOVE LETTER

My Dear Precious Child,
    The apostle and prophet John claimed that he was the apostle whom Jesus loved so much because his revelation of My love was so complete and exhilarating to him.  John was enamored with the revelation of My love, and his ministry showed that he endeavored to convince all of My children of the immense power of My love to love others as I love them, the power to transform My children into My image, the power to send My Son into the world to pay the price of death on the cross for all sinners, the power to rescue My children from all the works of the devil and the power to come into the earth and live inside of My children in the world along with the evil that pollutes it.  John began his letter with a description of Christ Jesus, referring to Him as the Word, referring to My words which became flesh in Him and desires to become flesh in you. (I John 1:1)
    John wrote that he was one of the people who had seen Jesus Christ with human eyes, touched Him with their hands and watched Him do His miracles.  He wrote that My Son was the subject of his letter.  He told his followers that Jesus Christ is life, that the disciples saw it and they gave their testimonies in letters, telling you about the eternal life which I had made visible to people.  He wrote that what they had seen and heard they are telling you so that you may be in union with Me, just as Christ is in union with Me, and then the blood of Jesus Christ cleanses you of all sins.  John wrote that the disciples wrote their letters so that their own joy would be complete.
(I John 1:2-4)
     His subject became the truth that what the disciples heard from Jesus Christ was that I am light, that in Me there is no darkness at all.  He wrote that if you say that you are in union with Me while you are still living in darkness, then you are lying because you are not living the truth.  He insisted that if My children live in the light as He is in the light, then you are in union with Him and the blood of Jesus, My Son, purifies you from all sin. (I John 1:5-7)  He also insisted that if you say that you have no sin, you are deceiving yourself and refusing to admit the truth; but if you acknowledge your sins, then I am faithful and just to forgive your sins and to purify you from everything that is wrong in your life.  To say that you have never sinned is to call Me a liar and it shows that My Word is not in you. (I John 1:8-10)
     He encouraged the readers of his letter that he was writing the letter to stop you and My other children from sinning which causes you to inherit destruction and death from the devil.  But, if you do sin, he wanted you to remember that you have an advocate with Me and He is Jesus Christ, the righteous One, and He is the sacrifice that takes away your sins; not only yours but the sins of the whole world. (I John 2:1-2)
    Then John spoke what Jesus Christ, Himself, had spoken that the way that you know me for sure is if you keep My commandments.  He wrote that anyone who says that he or she knows Me and does not keep My commandments is lying, refusing to admit the truth.  But when anyone does obey what Christ has said, My love comes to perfection in that person.  If your actions are of obeying what I said through Him, then My love has come to perfection in you.  When you do obey what I have said, then you will be living in Me and having the same kind of life that Christ Jesus lived while He was in the earth. (I John 2:3-6)
    John reminded the believers that this is not a new commandment that he was talking about but it's and old commandment that My children were given from the beginning, the original commandment that was My message brought to you.  He admitted that he was writing the commandment in a different way with different words but it's the same as taught by Jesus Christ.  He said that what was carried out in the life of Jesus Christ must also be what is carried out in your life.  He wrote that what is being carried out in the lives of believers is like a new commandment because the night is over and the real Light is already shining.  He told the readers that anyone who claims to be in the light but hates his brother is still in the dark.  But anyone who love his brother is living in the light and needs to not be afraid of stumbling, unlike the person who hates his brother and is in darkness, not knowing where he is going because it is too dark to see. (I John 2:7-11)
    The apostle John wrote that he was speaking to all people whose sins have been forgiven through Christ's name, to fathers who have come to know the One who has existed from the beginning, to young men who have already overcome the evil one; also referring to old men who have come to know Me who existed from the beginning because they are strong and My word has made its home in them, and therefore they have overcome the evil one.  He warned you that you must not love the world and anything that is in it instead of loving it because My love cannot be in anyone who loves the world because the devil is still the spiritual prince of the world. (John 16:11)  You cannot love good and evil.  You will hate one and love the other.  He reminded the believers that the world has nothing to offer except a sensual body, a lustful eye and pride in possessions, all of which never come from Me.  He reminded them that the world and all it stands for will eventually come to an end but anyone who does My will remains forever.  (I John 2:12-17)
   In the beginning of the letter John established the truth about My abundant love and about the way that I showed My love for My children, which was to come to earth in the person of My son Jesus Christ and die for their sins so that they did not have to be crucified for their own sins because I became their substitute and stood in for each one of them when Christ, an innocent man, went to the cross and died as a substitute for every man who ever lived.  There is no greater love than that of dying for the sins of other people.  The crucifixion and descent into hell of Christ satisfied the devil's vengeance upon Me and mankind and satisfied the religious and political laws.  My children do not need to go to hell because Jesus Christ already went to hell for you.  That is a reason for your living a life of constant celebration in thanksgiving for the unselfishness of Christ in His becoming a sacrifice for the sins of the whole world.  You don't need to live a life of hell in the earth because My Holy Spirit who lives inside of you has the same power to overcome the evil that He did when He lived in Christ Jesus.
   As a reward to you for accepting the sacrifice of Jesus Christ, you can become My child with the right to know Me intimately, to share in My wisdom and knowledge, to be healed from the devil's works in the world, to become ministers of reconciliation by restoring all people to Me.  Plus, you inherit My powerful life source, My Holy Spirit, who makes His earthly home in you with the duty of  transforming you into My image in the earth, empowering you to overcome every evil in the world and make disciples of other people by introducing them to My Son and to My Holy Spirit.   You become My images in the world and people see your good works and they choose to glorify Me also as their Father in heaven. (I Corinthians 3:16)
    John knew that the power of My love can only be revealed by My Holy Spirit and so you have the pleasure and delight of telling My children about being born of My Holy Spirit and baptized in My Holy Spirit, which means that you provide a dwelling place for Me in the earth, a body in which My Holy Spirit can establish Himself as Lord in the earth and bring freedom from the works of the devil to all of My creation.  (II Corinthians 3:16-18) What a pleasure it is for you to be called My child, a child of the Creator who created the heavens and the earth.  The apostle John had insight into the ministry of Jesus Christ and the ministry of the Holy Spirit.  Be attentive to His words and you will walk in the knowledge of My love for you and the world in which you live with the power to overcome all evil influences in the world that are sent from hell to enslave you to their desires.
    You have the power of My Holy Spirit inside of you.  You are not powerless over evil, failure or defeat because you have the most forceful and explosive power available in the earth and in the heavens in the person of My Holy Spirit.  He lives inside of you.  Christ died so that you might have that inherited privilege.  You must listen to His guidance, His counsel, His insight, His wisdom, His knowledge, His encouragement and His discernment because they are My words to you which never die but they remain active, powerful and bring freedom to you from despair and defeat when you take His advice because it is My Fatherly advice. (Jeremiah 1:9-12)

TIME MEASUREMENTS

TIME MEASUREMENTS
My Dear Precious Child,
   In Peter's second letter to the Christians he tried to bring back to the memories of the believers the prophesies and the commandments of Christ Jesus, encouraging them to remember My promises.  He reminded them that I said that in the days of My new and last covenant with My children that there would be scoffers, the kind who always please themselves by obeying their own passions, doubting the coming of Christ and saying that there was also that belief when their fathers lived and died without His having come into the earth, saying it's been the same way since the beginning of the earth.  He said that the scoffers forget that there were only the heavens at the beginning and that the earth was formed by My speaking My words out of water and between the waters so that the world was eventually destroyed by being flooded by water.  Peter prophesied that the same heavens and earth will be destined for fire that is being reserved until judgment day so that all sinners will be destroyed.  Even though he had switched his emphasis from that prophesy to teaching about My children becoming My image by their determination to know Me intimately so that they become My love, peace, goodness, kindness and mercy, he eventually began to remind them again about  prophesies about fire coming from heaven and destroying sinners.
    Peter was so disturbed by the false prophets and their habits of leading My children away from faith in Christ Jesus that he switched back to his former teachings about hell, fire and damnation.  Peter's belief in the destruction of the world in what he expected to be the day of judgment had gained him lots of criticism and scoffing.  He was determined to preach that sinners would be judged harshly by Me.  Even though in the same letter he had written that in the past the sins of people had authorized the devil to cause their own destruction and death, he could not get rid of his emphasis on the judgment of sinners and that it would come from Me.  His attitude was in response to his disgust in the fact that the false prophets had been successful in wooing many of his flock away from Christ and reverting back to Jewish law.
    He explained the delay in the return of Christ to earth by reminding the readers in his second letter that a day is like a thousand years to Me and a thousand years is like a day to Me.  So, therefore, his assumption was that maybe the delay in Christ's return to earth was because the "soon" period that they were led to believe in would actually be a thousand years and maybe several thousand years.  He wrote that I was not being slow to carry out My promises but that I am being patient with everyone, wanting nobody to be lost and everybody to be brought to the point of changing his ways.  In other words, Peter was writing that Christ Jesus, in My mercy, had delayed His coming because of His compassion for all people.  Peter's belief was that that day will come like a thief, that the sky would vanish, the elements in the earth will catch fire and fall apart, and that the earth will be burned up.  His beliefs are at the basis of all of teachings that are called the hell, fire and damnation preaching that is still prevalent in the earth in your day.  Somewhere is his preaching the truth of My love for everyone and the forgiveness of Christ Jesus for the sins of the world and the truth of My never ending mercy got lost in his hope that sinners and false prophets got what he considered their just punishment from Me. 
    Peter used his hell, fire and damnation sermons to instill fear in My children in an effort to try to entice them to live holy and saintly lives while they waited for the day to come when the sky would dissolve and the elements melt in the heat.  He was eager for the new heaven and the new earth which had been prophesied many times when the righteous would go home.  Again he warned the believers to live their lives without spot or wrinkle so that I will find you at peace.  He told them to think of My patience as your opportunity to be saved.   He reminded the believers of Paul's letters and his wisdom about this matter, but said that Paul's writings were hard to understand, points that uneducated and unbalanced people distort in the same way that they distort other scriptures.  He wrote that they had been warned about this many times and that they should not be led astray by unprincipled people.
    Even though Peter challenged the believers to continue to grow in grace, favor and in the knowledge of Me, he tended to use fear to motivate the believers, just like Peter had used fear against Ananias and Sapphira which resulted in their deaths. 
    When My children are born of My Spirit, they are changed in the twinkling of an eye from being motivated by fear to being motivated by My love and forgiveness for themselves and for all of mankind.  My words bring life, not death.  My words bring hope, not despair.  My words bring peace, not conflict.
    Even though Peter participated in the miracle on the day of Pentecost of the beginning of My new and last covenant with My children, the covenant of the Holy Spirit, even witnessing the hearing of the rushing mighty wind, which had been prophesied as a whirlwind, and the visible tongues of fire resting on the heads of the children of promise who were gathered in the upper room, he did not recognize that as the culmination of prophesy.   The fires from the angelic hosts allowed My Spirit to burn the generational demons out of My children as they were baptized in My Holy Spirit confirming Ezekiel's prophesy. (Ezekiel 10)  Yet, Peter must not have recognized that as the culmination of My promise being fulfilled.  It was the beginning of the fulfillment of Matthew 13:36-42 when Christ Jesus taught on My kingdom of heaven coming into the lives of My children when My children are purified by the ministry of the Holy Spirit.  It was the fulfillment also of John the Baptist's prophesy that My children would be baptized in My Holy Spirit and fire. (Matthew 3:10-12) 
   The heavens became new on the day of the first Pentecost because Christ Jesus had redeemed the authority to the earth and heaven back from the devil when He was in hell, and He gives it back to My children when they are baptized in My Holy Spirit.  The earth becomes new in the lives of My children when My children of promise become inhabitants of My kingdom of heaven while they still live in the earth and the righteous have a new spiritual home with new citizenship.  Their devotion becomes to My kingdom of heaven which is inside of them and surrounds them.  Behold, there is a new heaven and a new earth every time one of My children becomes born of My Holy Spirit and baptized in My Holy Spirit.  (Isaiah 65:17; Isaiah 66:13-22)  Many demons are exorcised from My children in the earth and sent to hell when My children become new, as prophesied by Christ Jesus. 
    Peter was blinded by the Jewish interpretation of old covenant scriptures, thinking that they were earthly rather than spiritual, terrestrial instead of celestial.  In doing that, he was blinded to what had happened to him when He was born of My Spirit by Christ Jesus and on the day of Pentecost when My Holy Spirit had come to earth to baptize him with My entire kingdom of heaven and fire. (John 20:19-23; Acts 2:1-4)
    Your mind must be constantly open to My Holy Spirit and His interpretations to you about His ministry in the world, that of completing the ministry of Christ Jesus in the earth for My children of promise which is to make you into My image with My power to overcome the works of the devil in the earth.

YOUR SPIRITUAL RESPONSIBILITIES

My Dear Precious Child,
    Peter laid aside his belief that Christ Jesus was soon going to physically appear and set up His kingdom visibly in the earth.   His emphasis changed and He began encouraging My children to get to know Me personally and intimately.  He even wrote in his second letter to the churches that more grace and peace will come to you through your knowing Me more and more intimately.  He wrote that it is through the divine power of My Holy Spirit that I have given to you everything necessary for your having the abundant life and My godliness while you live on earth.  That was a big change from his former emphasis of expecting Christ to soon come to earth and He, Himself, cast out the demons from the earth, and then His setting up a physical and political kingdom on earth.  (II Peter 1:1-3)
     The emphasis on My gifts of the Holy Spirit given to My individual children as a means of bringing My kingdom of heaven into the lives of My children on earth was a new revelation for Peter and many of the believers of Christ.  Many of them were convinced that My plan of bringing My kingdom to earth was to be through the Jewish government and they were intent on Christ making Israel the most powerful nation on earth.  They were earthly minded instead of spiritually minded. When they asked Jesus if that was the promise that was going to be fulfilled, He answered that no, My promise was that they would individually be filled with the power of My Holy Spirit, which was the fulfillment of all of His teachings on My kingdom of heaven coming on earth as it is in heaven, and that they would be My witnesses to the entire world.(Acts 1:1-8)  Christ Jesus was referring to My promise that I would make the earth and the heavens new because I would come to live in My children of promise, writing My words in their hearts and in their minds through My Holy Spirit.  When Christ Jesus went to hell He changed the heavens because He took back from the devil the authority to heaven and earth, which also changed the heavens and the earth. (Matthew 28:18-20; Jeremiah 31:31-34)  When I came to earth to live inside of My children, I changed the earth completely because I had only previously lived inside of Jesus Christ.
   In proclaiming that it was through My gifts of the Holy Spirit that My children would have everything that is necessary for having the abundant life and My godliness while in the earth, Peter added that there are certain things that you and My other children need to add to My gift of faith that I have given to you.  He said that these character traits of Mine will enable you to attain the abundant life and godliness through your growing up into My righteousness by adding to your personality these attributes of the Holy Spirit along with My gifts of the Holy Spirit that I give to you:
      Add My goodness to your gift of My faith;
      Add My wisdom and understanding to goodness;
      Add My self control to wisdom and understanding;
      Add My patience to self control;
      Add My true devotion to patience;
      Add My kindness for your fellow man to devotion;
      Add My love to My kindness in you.
    Peter wrote in his second letter that if you have a generous supply of those gifts and attributes of My Holy Spirit that you will not be ineffective or unproductive but those spiritual attitudes and actions will bring you to a real, intimate knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ.  He also wrote that without those gifts and attributes of the Holy Spirit that a person is spiritually blind or short sighted and that My children have forgotten that their own sins were washed away.  You owe it to others to love them unconditionally which washes all of their sins away. (Romans 13:8; John 20:23)  He encouraged you to work hard by allowing My Holy Spirit to change you into My image in the earth.  Peter wrote that if you do all of those things that there will be no danger that you will fall away from your calling from Me.  The bonus is that you will enter into My kingdom of heaven while in the earth, the one provided to you by your Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.  Christ Jesus told you to pray for it.  My kingdom of heaven cannot become real in your life unless you believe it is for you in your life on earth. (Matthew 6:10)
     Recalling the same truths over and over again to My children was Peter's strategy so that My children would be constantly determined to increase in the attributes of My Holy Spirit and in your use of My spiritual gifts which change the world because My gifts of the Holy Spirit change people, including you, yourself.  Peter wrote that it was his duty to keep reminding My children of My strategies for the salvation of the earth because he would soon take off his own earthly body, as foretold to him by Christ Jesus.  He knew that because of his constantly reminding you and My other children of these truths, that you would recall them easily after he was gone.
    He wrote that what he had taught to My children were not myths when he brought to them the knowledge of My power of the Holy Spirit and the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ to live inside of them because Peter had seen My majesty himself.  Peter quoted My words when He reminded you and My other children that I honored and glorified Christ when I, whom he called the Sublime Glory, said, "This is My Son, the Beloved, in whom I am well pleased."   He proclaimed that he and other believers had heard the words themselves, spoken from heaven, when they were with Him on the holy mountain.
    Peter reminded you and My other children that I confirmed what was previously prophesied; and that they should depend upon the prophesies and use them as a lamp for lighting the way through the dark until dawn comes and the morning star rises in your mind with revelation knowledge.  The interpretation of scripture is never merely for individuals themselves, because when people spoke for Me in prophesies it was the Holy Spirit who moved them to prophesy.  It was never from their own initiative or they would boast.
   It was My desire through Christ and it was Peter's desire that My children seek to intimately know Me, just like it was Paul's desire that he come to a full and intimate knowledge of Me, also to the knowledge of My Son Jesus Christ, knowing the fellowship of His suffering and also the power of My Holy Spirit that I gave as a gift to those who believe. 
   Peter's revelation was necessary because My children needed to be equipped with the gifts of My Holy Spirit and the fruit of My Holy Spirit in order to walk in the abundant life and increase in My righteousness while they live in the earth.  As he said, the reason for increasing in My attributes of the Holy Spirit was so that they could love everyone as I love them and then they would enjoy life on earth.  Jesus Christ promised that those believers who leave their old lives behind would be rewarded a hundred fold in this life and eternal life in the world to come. (Mark 10:30)
    Believe the prophets and believe the prophesies of Christ Jesus.  They were prophesies given to encourage you to receive My good gifts that I have for you, to use them to overcome evil, and to grow in intimate fellowship with Me.

PETER'S GLORIOUS REVELATION

My Dear Precious Child,
    Peter's second letter has less emphasis on the immediate coming of the Lord Jesus Christ and is more centralized upon the dependence of the believer upon their power, authority and daily relationship with Christ; also My righteousness and My guidance from the power of My Holy Spirit who lives inside of My children who are born of My Holy Spirit and who are baptized in My Holy Spirit.  At the writing of the second letter, it was obvious that the expected dates of the physical return of Christ Jesus had already passed with no obvious sign of His re-entry into the world.  In the second letter, Peter prayed that the believers would have more of the unmerited favor through My grace and peace as they come to intimately know Me more and more. (II Peter 1:1)
    The proclamation in the beginning of the second letter reveals Peter's revelation that everything has already been given to My children by Me, everything that is necessary for having a life of true spiritual abundance in your life on earth and true devotion to Me which brings you to personally and intimately know Me face to face.  He knew that I had called the believers to Myself through My glory and My goodness.  He wrote that it is by My powerful spiritual gifts to My children that I have given to you the guarantee of something great and wonderful to come while you are in this world and in the world to come.  Also, he clearly proclaimed that it is through My spiritual gifts to you that you are currently able to share in My divine nature and escape the corruption in the world that is sunk in demonic vice. 
   In Peter's proclamation he was telling My children that expecting the immediate physical return of Christ Jesus was obviously not going to happen, and so they needed to seek to know Me so intimately that they would call upon My presence inside them in the person of My Holy Spirit to give My revelations to them about My plan for the salvation of the world through the ministry of the Holy Spirit who lives inside of you and all of My children of promise.  All of the power that was inside of and surrounding Christ is attributed by Me to My Holy Spirit who was part of His own body, cells and personality.  He is the same Holy Spirit who came to live inside of your body and create a new person, a person with the same supernatural and spiritual power of your Savior Christ Jesus. (I Corinthians 3:16) We are One God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit.  No One facet of My being is less powerful or less important or less effective than the other Two.  We are all One -- Father, Son and Holy Spirit -- with all My supernatural power and ability to overcome the evil that is in the world.  It is in your intimate knowledge of Me and My power that enables you to become acquainted with the image of Me and My explosive power which lives inside of you in the person of My Holy Spirit. (II Peter:1:2-4)
    It is by My great promise to you through the risen Christ of the truth of the Holy Spirit coming to live inside of you that you will know that you have the power to escape from the rottenness and corruption that is in the world by your sharing in My divine nature with all of My power and might.  Christ Jesus, while he was still in his human body, taught extensively to His disciples about the importance of the Holy Spirit coming to live inside of them, as prophesied by the prophet Joel, and Christ told them that they must wait for My Holy Spirit in Jerusalem with other believers for the appointed time when they were all in unity. (Joel 3:1-5; Acts 1:1-10) After giving that instruction, the risen Christ was taken up into a cloud and then He descended in a cloud when He disciples were baptized in My Holy Spirit. (Acts 2:1-4 and 32-33) 
   The writer of the book of Hebrews knew this truth, as found in his proclamation that the believers who are born of My Holy Spirit and baptized in My Holy Spirit are surrounded in the spiritual dimension around them by a cloud of witnesses composed of the angels, Christ, the spirits of the prophets who were raised from the dead when He rose from hell, also the spirits of just people made perfect, the blood of Jesus; and My presence is also in that cloud that surrounds you.  In My spiritual dimension around you, you are surrounded by My kingdom of heaven because of your being born of My Holy Spirit.  (Hebrews 1:1 and 12:1 and 22-25)
   Peter's earlier emphasis on what he thought was the soon physical coming of Christ was supplanted by the revelation that He has already come to live in you in the person of My Holy Spirit when you were born again, and He came in My kingdom of heaven in the spiritual dimension surrounding you when you were baptized in My Holy Spirit.  As Peter said, in My divine gifts that I give to you, you have everything necessary for the abundant life and godliness. (II Peter 1:3) 
   My children need to seek a revelation of what you have inside of you in the person of My Holy Spirit.  Until you know that truth by revelation, you will allow the devil to get away with all sort of evil in your life instead of your overcoming him by resisting his temptations and casting him out of the earth and into hell. (Matthew 13:36-42)  When you do what Jesus Christ told you to do in His parable of My kingdom of heaven, which is to cast into hell the demons who harass you, you will shine like the sun and unbelievers will see your good works and glorify Me by turning to Me and believing in My Son Christ Jesus.

PETER'S CHALLENGE

My Dear Precious Child,
    Peter reminded the believers in the churches to which He wrote that he was an elder in the churches and since he was an eye witness to the sufferings of Christ that he would share with the other believers in My glory which is to come when all of you meet Him face to face.  Then he challenged the other elders to be good shepherds of the flocks which had been entrusted to them by Me, to watch over the other believers, not as a matter of duty, but because I wanted them to do it.  He told the elders in the churches not to watch over the flocks for sordid money but to do it because of the loving urges of the Holy Spirit to do it.  His most emphatic instruction was to not be a dictator over the believers that are put in their charge, bu instead to be a good example that the whole flock can follow.  He said when the Chief Shepherd was revealed that they would all be given a crown of everlasting glory.  (I Peter 4:1-4)
    To the flocks in the churches Peter wrote that you should do what the elders in the church tell you to do and that you must wrap yourselves in the humility of being servants of each other because I oppose the proud and I favor the humble.  He advised the other believers to bow down before My power and that I would raise them up on their final day on the earth. 
   Then Peter mirrored the command of Jesus Christ that you and all of the believers must unload all of your worries onto Me, since I am looking out for you constantly. Jesus taught you that you must not be concerned about anything, but with prayers and thanksgiving you should let your requests be made known to Me and I will grant your requests. (Matthew 7:11;Philippians 4:6) 
   That is the rest that I promised to you, that you will rest from your labors and allow Me to perform My perfect will in every matter and solve every problem that presents itself in your life on earth. (Hebrews 4:10)  I have spiritual solutions to earthly problems that My children are powerless to know about or perform.  I am your Father.  I bring My spiritual solutions to every problem that you place in My hands when you leave them in My hands and walk in the faith that My Holy Spirit gives to you.  What good is My being a loving Father to you if you do not allow Me to solve your problems and guide you around and away from the evil traps set by the devil?
   I am your Father.  You must LET ME BE YOUR FATHER.
   Then Peter gave an instruction that was more emphatic than some other apostles wrote to their churches.  He wrote that My children must stay calm but be always VIGILANT -- meaning to be constantly on the lookout for evil from outside of you and from inside of you in your thoughts -- because your enemy the devil is prowling the earth like a lion looking for someone whom he may devour.  You notice that Peter said "may" devour.  In other words, you allow him to deceive you and devour you by your inattentiveness to your thoughts and you succumb to the passions of the flesh with which he tempts you.  The devil knows that he "can" devour you because of the authoritative power that Adam gave to him in the earth; but he also knows that, because of the free will that I gave to My children, that you have the free will to allow or disallow his temptation to cause you to yield to doing his will.  That is why he has to use deception, in order to trick you into yielding your will away from doing My will and instead choose to do his evil will.  That is why Peter said to be VIGILANT.  I said through Isaiah that you must be a watchman, always on the alert to identify evil thoughts, words and actions that come from hell that are sent to destroy you.  (Ezekiel 33:7)  He wrote to believers to stand up to the devil, being strong in faith, being consoled that your brothers and sisters all over the world are suffering the same thing in the battle against evil thoughts, words and the urges toward doing evil actions.
   Peter wrote that believers would only suffer in the war against evil for a little while because I will solve all problems for you when you resist the devil, cast out the demons and stay strong in your devotion to Me.  I will not only provide the solutions, I will also strengthen, confirm and support you.  (Mark 16:17; James 4:7)
   My power is everlasting.  My power in you lasts forever, never wavering in the least bit, but instead increasing in supernatural power the more you pray in the Holy Spirit, as revealed by Jude. (Jude 20) Your instructions are to walk in the Spirit and pray in the Spirit and everything will work together for your good. (Romans 8:14, 26 and 28)  Be led by My Holy Spirit + pray in My Holy Spirit = everything working together for your good.  Being led by My Spirit means that you are only obedient to My voice in your thoughts; plus, praying in the Holy Spirit means that you allow Me to speak out the solutions to all of your problems; both together equal allowing Me to make everything work together for your good.  You can't only be led by My Spirit and not pray in the Holy Spirit for everything to work for good in your life.  You can't only pray in the Holy Spirit and be led by the temptations of the devil for everything to work for good in your life.  You must be led by My Holy Spirit for the spiritual atmosphere around you to be conducive to My blessings to flow into your life.  You must pray in My Holy Spirit in order for My words to enter into the world through your mouth and send solutions to all of the problems that the devil has brought into your life.  When you do those two things, I am able to make everything in your life work for good and bless you with My abundant life while you live in the earth. 
   Be vigilant to watch for evil temptations in your thoughts.  Resist them and cast them into hell.  Also be vigilant to guard your mouth and do not allow anything negative, destructive, harassing or bitter to exit your mouth.  Instead, pray in the Holy Spirit in your prayer closet at all times and in all occasions which not only builds your faith, but also allows Me to speak out the solutions to your problems to the angels who are sent to serve you. (Hebrews 1:13-14)
   Instructions, admonitions and advice from Me relating to your enemy, the devil, are always necessary so that you will win the battle against the demonic principalities and powers in the atmosphere around you who entice you in your thoughts to do the devil's will in the earth.

THE SUFFERING OF CHRIST

My Dear Precious Child,
    The prevailing topic of every letter to the churches, whether from Paul, James, Peter or John, is how Christ Jesus died once and for all for the sins of the whole world, although He was innocent and without sinning.  He died for the guilty so that you would be led to know Me.  In His body He was put to death, in the Spirit He was raised to life.  In the Spirit He went to preach to the spirits in spiritual prison in hell in order to redeem them.  When Noah was still building the ark which saved only a small group of eight people by water, while I was still waiting patiently those unbelieving spirits refused to believe in Me.  The water relating to Noah is a type of baptism which saves you now.  It is not the washing off of physical dirt but an oath made to Me in a good conscience through the resurrection of Jesus Christ, who has now entered heaven and is at My right hand.   Now He has made  subjects of the demonic angels, the dominions and the powers of the kingdom of hell. (I Peter 3:18-22)
    Think about what Christ suffered in His life and then arm yourselves with the same determination that He had: that anyone who in his or her earthly life has endured bodily suffering for My sake has already broken with sin because for the rest of his or her life on earth they are not ruled by human passions but only by My will through the power of My Holy Spirit. (I Peter 4:1-2)
    You spent many years living the life that pagans live, behaving indecently, giving way to your passions, drinking all the time, having wild parties, drunken orgies and degrading yourselves by following false gods.  Since you are now believers in Christ Jesus, unbelievers cannot understand why you no longer want to rush off with them to join the flood of people who are rushing to destruction.  You don't join with them, and so then they spread lies about you.  They will answer before  the judge of the living and the dead. The devil judged the prophets and the people who believed in the future coming of Christ Jesus.  Because they were judged also and sent to spiritual prison, the dead had to be told the Good News as well so that, regardless of the fact that in their life on earth they had been through the judgment that comes upon all humanity, they might now come to God life's in the spirit. (I Peter 4: 3-6)
    Peter warned the believers to keep a calm and sober mind so that they could pray better because he thought the world was soon coming to an end.  He encouraged you to never let your love grow insincere since love covers a multitude of sins.  He encouraged you to be a hospitable host who welcomes each other into your houses with a good attitude, never grumbling.  He reminded the believers that each one of you has received a special gift of grace, so you must be good stewards of My grace and put yourself in the service of others.  He challenged you who have the gift of speaking that you must speak in words that come from Me; if you have the gift to be a helper, then you must help as if every action was done at My command; so that in everything I will receive the glory through Christ Jesus, since to Him alone belongs all glory and power forever and ever.  (I Peter 4:7-11)
    My dear children, do not think it is unusual that you should be tested by fire.  Nothing that has been done to you has been unusual.  If you have some share in His suffering then you should be glad.  You will enjoy a greater gladness when His glory is revealed to you. Consider it a blessing when people insult you for bearing the name of Christ because it means that you have the Spirit of Glory, My Holy Spirit, resting on you.  None of My children should ever have to suffer for being a murderer, a thief, a criminal or an informer but if you suffer for the cause of being a Christian, then you should not be ashamed but thank God for having been called one.  (I Peter 4:12-16)
   Peter proclaimed that it was time for judgment to begin at My household.  If we know now is only the beginning of judgment, what will it be when it comes down to those who refuse to believe My Good News?  If it's hard for a good man to be saved from the destruction of the devil, what will happen to the wicked and the sinners?  So you who are called by Me to suffer against evil must trust yourselves to My constancy of being emissaries of My love in the earth and go on doing good in your lives on earth. (I Peter 4:17-19)
   In the earth in a court of law a judge rarely has the duty of judging a person guilty or not guilty because that is the duty of a jury of the peers of the accused.  It's the same thing in My kingdom.  Christ Jesus said to His disciples after He was raised from the dead that whose sins the believers forgive are forgiven and whose sins the believers retain are retained. (John 20:21-23) So guilt and innocence is determined by My children.  You forgive the sins of everyone because Christ died so that you are forgiven, so you must extend the same grace to people who are caught in the traps of the devil and commit sin.  It is by the power of My Holy Spirit in you that you have the power from Me to forgive sinners.
   You have an awesome responsibility to extend the same mercy and grace to others that I extend to you.  When you do extend mercy instead of judgment to sinners, then you are acting in the perfect image of My love.  Then you have become My true children, displaying My true character and personality to unbelievers in the world.

PETER'S WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS

My Dear Precious Child,
   Peter wrote to the believers that they are visitors and sojourners in the earth, temporary residents who will eventually be returning to their original home in My heaven where they originally existed and from where all life in the earth began.  Because My children of promise are only visitors in the earth, Peter challenged you to keep yourself free from selfish passions that attack your mind.  You are a representative of My character to the unsaved people, so he wrote that you must always behave honorably among the unsaved so that they can see your good works for themselves and glorify Me.  Then when your life on earth comes to an end, you will give thanks to Me for the very works of My Holy Spirit which at the present time make the unsaved people denounce you as being deceived.  (I Peter 2:11-12)
    Even though you belong to a heavenly kingdom, part of Peter's warnings were that you must subject yourself to the officials of the governing authorities so that you will be considered good citizens and that will silence what foolish people say about you in their ignorance of spiritual things.  You must not be a slave to anyone except that you must obey My guidance so that you can avoid participating in the works of the devil.  You should behave as free individuals but do not let your freedom be an excuse to engage in wickedness.  Have love for all people and respect for your community.  You should only be in awe of Me and My power; however, you should give human respect to governing officials just like you do to everyone. (I Peter 2:13-17)
    In a marriage wives should honor their unbelieving husbands so that the husbands will find themselves won over by the way their wives behave, seeing how faithful and conscientious their wives are to the Good News.  He instructed married women not to dress for show but instead to let their inner beauty of a loving, kind disposition be their outward attraction.  He wrote that the ancient women of faith were obedient to their husbands and that the women of Peter's day should also live good, peaceful lives.  He stressed that women must not give way to worry or fear, as is the mental programming of some women.(I Peter 3:1-7)
    Peter continued speaking about marriage and wrote that husbands must always treat their wives with consideration in their marriage together, respecting her as one who is equally an heir to My life of grace which is available to all females, males, Jews and Gentiles.  He emphasized that men must treat their wives with love and keep peace with them so that both of their prayers can be answered. (I Peter 3:7)  
    As representatives of your most secure citizenship that is in heaven, Peter wrote that workers must obey their bosses not only when they are kind and gentle but when they are unfair.  There is merit in putting up with the pains of punishment if it is done for My sake when you are innocent of a wrong, but there is no merit in enduring punishment if you have done something wrong.  (I Peter 2:18-20)  The seeds you sow are always returned to you, the good ones and the bad ones.  You must consider Christ Jesus, how he endured punishment for you and left an example for you to follow.  He did nothing wrong and he never perjured himself in order to protect himself.  When he was tortured, he made no threats but He put His trust in Me and My plan of salvation for all of the world.  He bore the sins of the whole world in His own body so that you might die to your faults and passions, thus living for My goodness and kindness.  Always remember that by His wounds you are healed.  You once went astray but you came back to the Shepherd and Guardian of your soul. (I Peter 2:21-24)
   If you will always do what is right, no one can hurt you but if you have to suffer for doing good, you must count it as a blessing.  Don't fear or worry about an evil person, simply revere Me in your heart.  Always be ready to give credit to Me for My strength in you when you are asked the reason for your hope and endurance.  Give the reason for your strength with respect and a clear conscience so that the people who slander you when you are living a life of love will be proved wrong in their accusations against you.  It's always better to suffer for doing good than it is for doing wrong.  In other words, do not oppose anyone but instead bring peace to every situation.  When you do, you have sown seeds of righteousness which will always return to you and enhance your life with peace. 
   Christ Jesus set the perfect standard for refusing to oppose anyone when He was harassed and abused.  My Spirit will give you the power and strength to do the same thing, bringing peace to every situation.  Sowing peace and love at every turn in your life will multiply and bring 100 times more peace and love to flow into your life on earth.  (I Peter 3:13-17; Matthew 13:18-23)
    Peter's letters mirrored the letters of Paul, John and James and they all mirrored the teachings of Christ Jesus.  They were good disciples of His because they knew the rewards are abundant.  They were privy to the truth that your doing evil in your actions is always because you have been obedient to the temptations from the devil which are sent into your mind so that you will obey the devil and he can curse your life on earth.  I am always coaching My children on the benefits of discerning the voice of My Holy Spirit in their minds and I am always warning about the curses that come from neglecting to discern the voices of the demons who run rampant in the earth seeking whom they may devour.  My children who follow the good voice of My Holy Spirit will emerge from every temptation with the reward of peace for their mind and the rewards from My love for your choosing good over evil.
   It's a war between good and evil in the earth.  Choosing good over evil always earns rewards from the wells of salvation. (Isaiah 12:2-4)  I said that you must believe that I am and that I am a rewarder of those who diligently seek Me.  (Hebrews 11:6)  Seeking Me should be a lifelong pleasure for My children because My Fatherly rewards are abundant.
   My rewards are abundant for My children who diligently seek Me for wisdom, for knowledge, for strength, for healing, for guidance and for My peace which passes human understanding.

VICTORIOUS MINDS

VICTORIOUS MINDS
My Dear Precious Child,
   In his first letter to the believers in five countries, Peter offered definite instructions which were:
       #1. Free your mind of encumbrances;
       #2. Control your mind;
       #3. Put your trust in the grace that will envelop you when Christ Jesus is revealed to you;
       #4. Do not behave the way you formerly behaved before you knew the Truth;
       #5. Make obedience to Me a habit; 
       #6 .Be holy in all that you do since I am the One who called you and I am holy. 
       #7. Acknowledge Me as your Father who has no favorites.
    I cleanse everyone according to what He has done, so you must be sincerely careful when you are away from your home because of the temptations of the devil when you are out of your spiritual element.  Remember the ransom that Christ Jesus paid to free you from a useless way of life that your ancestors handed down to you in generational curses. (I Peter 1:13-17)
  The ransom for your soul was not paid with corruptible silver or gold, but in the precious blood of the Lamb who was without spot or stain, namely Christ Jesus.  He was known from the beginning, even before the world was formed, but He has only been revealed to My children in the earth at the end of the age of old covenant Mosaic Law and the beginning of the covenant of My Holy Spirit, a new and more efficient covenant which was instituted by Me for the sake of the whole world. It is only through Him that you can have faith in Me.  I am the One who raised Him from the dead and glorified Him for that very reason, so that you could have faith and hope in Me.  (I Peter 1:18-21)  It was for your benefit and the benefit of the whole world that all of My plans were facilitated, carried out and prophesied.
     Peter wrote that the believers in the five countries had purified their souls by being obedient to the truth and they could now love one another like sincere brothers.  He encouraged the believers to let their love be real and from the heart.  Then He reminded them that their new birth was not from any human seed, but it was from My everlasting, living, eternal  words spoken by Me.  Peter quoted scripture that says that all flesh is grass and its glory is like the wild flowers; but the grass withers, the flowers fail, but My word remains forever. (Isaiah 40:6-8; I Peter 1:22-25)  He proclaimed that My Word is the Good News that has been delivered to you and the whole world.
     After reminding the believers about My excellent plan to save the world, Peter also gave further instructions, that the believers never yield to any of these demonic attitudes:
        Spitefulness,
        Deceitfulness,
        Becoming hypocritical,
        Becoming envious or jealous, or
        Becoming critical.
    He reminded the believers that they were still spiritually newborn babes and they should be hungry for nothing but milk, the spiritual honesty which would help them to grow up into salvation now that they had tasted My goodness. (I Peter 2:1-3)  Peter wrote that Christ Jesus was a living stone which was rejected by people but He was chosen by Me and was precious to Me so that you could become the holy priesthood that offers sacrifices which Christ has made acceptable to Me.  He will use the many living stones to make a spiritual house which reflects My love and My peace.  I promised that a person will rest by putting his or her trust in Me and that cornerstone that I chose Myself.  He pointed out that that stone is precious to believers but to unbelievers Christ is the stone which has been stumbled over.  The stumbling is not My desire but is from the enemy's strategy.  Christ is a rock that brings people down only because they stumble over it because of the demonic veil that is over their minds which keeps them from believing in My word.  (II Corinthians 3:14-I8; Peter 2:4-8) 
   You as My child believe My word as long as you rely upon My words which I personally speak to you, the words which reveal to you My nature, My character and My personality.  It is in your intimately knowing Me that you become My living stones in the earth through which it can be relied upon that you will be transformed into My love messengers in the earth.  When you intimately know Me, you become like Me, which is the true form of worship, worshiping Me in Spirit and in Truth. 
   You enter into My rest when you rely completely on Me, Your Father of supernatural solutions to all of the problems caused by the works of the devil in your life on earth.  I gave you the power to believe, the power to heal, the power to receive My wisdom and knowledge, the power to discern good spirits from evil spirits, the power to perform miracles, the power to speak for Me in prophesy, the power to pray in My spiritual tongues and the power to interpret what I have spoken in those languages.   All of My supernatural, spiritual gifts are yours, freely given by Me.  You have the distributor of those gifts living inside of you, My Holy Spirit.  My children need to regard My Holy Spirit as Lord in the earth in your day of My covenant of the Holy Spirit.  That was revealed by the new covenant prophet Paul when He said that you and My other children of promise are the temple of My Holy Spirit, (I Corinthians 3:16)   He declared that the Lord is the Holy Spirit and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty and freedom from the works of the devil. (II Corinthians 3:17-18)
   That is cause for celebration.

PETER'S REVELATIONS

My Dear Precious Child,
   Peter wrote letters to the believers in 5 countries in order to remind them about their spiritual heritage and to also exhort them on how to stay on the straight and narrow path that leads to having My abundant life in the earth and to live eternally with Me.  His address to them told them that they were chosen by Me for the provident purpose of being made holy by the Holy Spirit, through whom they could be made obedient to the teachings of Christ Jesus and sprinkled with His blood. (I Peter 1:1-2)
   He gave his praise and adoration to Me as the Father of Jesus Christ through whom I have given My mercy and the new birth as His children by raising Christ Jesus from the dead, so that you can have a solid hope and promise of receiving My inheritance that can never be spoiled and will never fade away because it is being kept for you in the heavens.  It is through your faith that comes from the Holy Spirit that My power will guard you until the complete salvation which has also been prepared for you is revealed to you at the end of your time on earth. (I Peter 1:3-6)
    Peter said that your gift of faith from the Holy Spirit will give you great joy even though on earth you will be plagued with all sorts of trials.  So when Christ Jesus appears, your faith will have been tested by the devil but you will appear as pure gold, gold that is more precious than earthly gold; but it is, instead, a gold which has been tested by fire.  Then, when He appears, you will give Him all praise, glory and honor.  While you walk in the earth, you don't see Him, yet you love Him.  Still, without seeing Him, you are already filled with joy so glorious that it cannot be described, all because you have the faith to believe, which is a gift from Me. You remain firm until the end for which your faith looks forward, that is the final salvation of your soul. (I Peter 1:7-9)
    It is this same salvation for which the old covenant prophets were looking and searching for years.  All of their prophesies were about the grace which was to come under My new and last covenant with My children of promise.  My Holy Spirit foretold to them the eventual suffering of Christ and the glories which would come after His suffering on the cross.  They also foretold His trip to hell where He retrieved from the devil the keys to heaven and the earth and then rose from the dead to appear to His followers where He told them to wait for My promise, which was the coming of My Holy Spirit. (Acts 1:1-8)   Then He came to heaven to sit down with Me, having sent My Holy Spirit into the earth to live in the followers of Christ Jesus to continue His ministry in the earth; however, by His own words, it is an even greater ministry because My Holy Spirit entered into them, creating new people.  They are My children to whom I am able to speak My words into their hearts as well as their minds.  Jesus Christ could only place His words in their minds from outside of them by the hearing of their earthly ears; but My Holy Spirit, who lives inside of My children of promise, is able to speak to you directly into your mind from the inside of you in your spirit where He lives. (I Peter 1:10-11)
   The old covenant prophets prophesied the coming into the world of My Son, Christ Jesus.  They knew that the event would not be for them, but would be for other people in the far distant future.  By the revelation of My Holy Spirit, they predicted the glorious events which happened through the Good News from the Holy Spirit who was sent for you, not for the old covenant prophets.  Even the angels longed to get a glimpse of My method of salvation for the world to which they were unable because it was hidden from the foundation of the world. (I Peter 1:12)
    In Peter's first written letter to the believers in the five countries, through his words He preached a wonderful sermon on My plan for salvation, also the mode by which I made it happen in the world, which was through it being prophesied by old covenant prophets; also the delivery of My salvation into the world, which was through My Son Jesus Christ and His death and resurrection; and eventually through the Holy Spirit living inside of My children of promise.  In your generation you and My other children must revel in those truths so that you will fully appreciate what you have living inside of you, which is My complete Presence.  There is nothing more that you need to enable you to have a life of rest in the earth, resting from your earthly labors.  You have My words that I speak into your mind by the Holy Spirit, and you have My creative words spoken through your mouth in the prayers of the Holy Spirit which create all of the solutions to your earthly problems.  Complete salvation from the works of the devil while you live in the earth is available to My children who intimately know the ministry of Christ Jesus and the ministry of My Holy Spirit.
   My knowledge and insight is constantly available to My children of promise.  All you need to do is to ask for it, never wavering, and I will flood your mind with My wisdom and knowledge.  It's part of your inheritance. (James 1:5-8)
   Your Father of All Wisdom and Knowledge
