BLESSINGS OF PERSONAL INVITATIONS

My Dear Precious Child,
     Jesus Christ spoke to people in parables, stories that included truths and often instructions related to My kingdom of God coming to earth to become part of the earth's blessings for My children.   He told them a parable about a wedding feast for a man's son.  The man was so elated with his son's bride and his son's love for his bride, and so the man sent invitations to summon a multitude of invited guests to the wedding banquet in which it was the tradition to serve a lavish meal with plenty of wine for the people who accepted his invitation to attend.  It was going to be a lavish celebration of the impending marriage.  Unfortunately, no one accepted the invitation to attend.  (Matthew 22:1-3)  
     The father of the groom sent additional invitations to people to attend, telling his servants to remind the invitees that he was going to have a banquet that rivaled every other wedding feast in the country.  In the invitation he even described that he had prepared the menu himself, that he had participated in the fattening of his calves and bulls, that everything was prepared and he told the servants to encourage the invitees by telling them how wonderful the food was going to be and how fun the entertainment would be.  Again the invited guests paid no attention to the invitation, some even treating the invitation with contempt.  The invited guests went away to their farms or businesses instead of attending the wedding feast.  Some of the invited guests even captured the man's servants, treated them shamefully and killed them.  Hearing that news from some of his other servants the father of the groom was furious, and so he sent his soldiers and put the murderers to death and even burned their cities.
    The father of the groom told his servants whom he had chosen to deliver more invitations that the wedding feast had been been beautifully prepared but the invitees had proven not to be worthy of being invited. (Matthew 22:5-8) So he told his servants who were delivering the invitations to go into the main road of the city where the roads met and invite to the wedding feast as many people as they could find.  Those servants did exactly what the father of the groom instructed.  They went to the common roads in the city and invited everyone they saw, the good and the bad, so that the venue for his son's wedding would be filled with guests to celebrate with him the wedding of his son and the son's bride. (Matthew 22:10-12)
   On the day of the wedding the king came into the hall to review the guests and he saw a man who did not have on the usual wedding garments.   He quizzed the man and the man could not justify his attendance at such a lavish affair.  So the father of the groom identified  that guest who had not cleansed himself and dressed himself in wedding clothes and had him bound hand and foot and thrown into the abyss where there was weeping and gnashing of teeth.  The undeserving man represents the devil and his demons who always invade the celebrations of My children in order to curse them and their existence in the earth.
    That parable of Jesus Christ related to the Jewish religious and political people whom Jesus had warned His followers had become stiff necked, proud, arrogant, righteous in following their own man made laws and they had become self righteous instead of righteous by following My instructions.  They would not listen to the teachings of Jesus and John the Baptist and repent for their pride and arrogance.  Instead, they were the leaders in causing the Roman authorities to arrest, try and then crucify My Son Jesus Christ.  The religious leaders had followed Jesus around trying to entice him to break Jewish laws so that they could justify their accusations to the Roman authorities.  They were the guests who were invited into My kingdom of God but refused to come and even killed the prophets and My Son whom I had sent to bring salvation into their lives on earth. 
    My solution was to change the addresses on My invitations to the wedding feast of Jesus Christ and the church, who is the bride of Christ, and instead of continuing to invite the religious and political Pharisees, Sadducees, the lawyers, the chief priests, the priests and the elders of the temple, instead of continuing to invite them I sent invitations to the sinners, the tax collectors and the harlots to come into My kingdom of God to become the bride of Christ with all of its blessings and rewards.  Their sins were easier to forgive because of their lack of religious pride.(Matthew 22:8-10)   The wedding became a glorious affair because the attendees were humble, thankful, cleansed and grateful.  However, I identified the devil in the midst of the celebration and had him bound, gagged and sent to the fiery furnace in the abyss which had been prepared for him from the foundation of the earth.  (Matthew 22:11-14; Matthew 13:36-42)  My gift of discerning of spirits was resident in the father of the groom and he acted immediately in casting the devil into the fiery furnace which I prepared for the devil before I even created the earth, which is what I do when demonic spirits invade the lives of My children who are called by My name. 
    The parable of the wedding feast is a picture of the truth that many are called but only a few choose to enter into My kingdom of God, those being the people who believe in the ministry of Jesus Christ.  Those people have chosen to enter and are enjoying My kingdom of God on earth while others are still waiting for what has already come into the earth, that being My kingdom of God with all of its blessings and rewards to everyone who is born of My Spirit, baptized in My Holy Spirit, led by My Holy Spirit and prays in the language of My Holy Spirit.  (Romans 8; Ephesians 6)

BLESSING TRUTHS REITERATED

My Dear Precious Child,
    After Jesus taught about John the Baptist being all a part of My plan for the salvation of the earth and then telling the religious and political leaders that the harlots and tax collectors would get into My kingdom of God before they did, He said that John the Baptist came as a righteous man but they did not believe him, but the harlots and tax collectors did.  He told the stiff necked leaders that even after they saw that the harlots and tax collectors repented, they did not repent and turn from their evil ways of oppressing people.  (Matthew 21:32)
    As was the habit of Jesus Christ, He told them another parable that proved His point.  He told them about the man who planted a vineyard, put a hedge around it and built a watch tower.   Then the man went to another country but rented out the vineyard to another person.  When the fruit season came, he sent his servants to the tenants to collect his fair share of the fruit.  The tenants beat his servants, killed other ones and stoned yet some other ones.  So he sent more servants and they did the same thing, killed them, stoned them or beat them.  Finally the man sent his own son, thinking that the tenants would respect the son of the owner of the vineyard.   When the tenants saw the son of the owners, they plotted to kill him because he was the heir to the vineyard.  They threw him out of the vineyard and killed him.  (Matthew 21:33-40)
    Jesus asked the religious and political leaders what the owner of the vineyard would do when he came back, what would he do to the tenants?   The chief priests and scribes said that he would put them to death, rent the vineyard to other tenants of better character that would pay the owner his due fruits in their season. (Matthew 21:41)
    He asked them if they had ever read in scriptures that the very Stone which the builders rejected and threw away became the Cornerstone, that it was My doing and marvelous in our eyes?  (Psalm 118:22-23)  Then Jesus made it clear that the kingdom of God would be taken away from  the religious leaders and politicians and given to people who would produce fruit from it.  (Matthew 21:43)  Jesus quoted the prophets Isaiah and Daniel when He said that whoever falls on the Stone will be broken to pieces, but he on whom it falls will be crushed to powder and it will winnow him, scattering him as dust.  (Matthew 21:44; Isaiah 8:14:Daniel 2:34-35)
     The chief priests and the Pharisees, those being the political and the religious leaders,  were not dull in their thinking.  They perceived that He was talking about them.  They wanted to arrest Him so badly, but they were afraid of the throngs of people because they regarded Jesus Christ as a prophet.  (Matthew 21:45-46)
     Jesus was clear in His teachings that the Jewish and religious leaders were not going to enter into My kingdom of God, but the lawbreakers, the tax collectors and the harlots were going to be the first people to enter into My Kingdom of God, of which Jesus Christ had long been teaching.  It was going to happen while the people who were living at the time were still living.  The political and religious leaders who thought they were God's anointed and treasured people were going to be last to enter and the pagan sinners were going to be first to enter into My kingdom of God on the day of Pentecost in the upper room.
    The mysteries are being revealed in the parables of Jesus Christ.

BLESSINGS FROM FAITH

 My Dear Precious Child,
     After Jesus made the triumphant entry into Jerusalem like a humble servant of the people instead of a wealthy king, then He went to Bethany and stayed there. (Matthew 21:17) In the early morning hours as He was going back to Jerusalem He became hungry.  He saw a leafy fig tree by the roadside and He went to see if there was any fruit on the tree.(Matthew 21:18-19)  Since there was no fruit on the tree where usually the fruit and the leaves appear at the same time, Jesus said to the tree that it would never again grow fruit.  The tree withered up and died immediately.  When the disciples saw it, they were amazed and asked how it was that the tree had withered away immediately. (Matthew 21:20) Jesus answered them immediately and told the disciples that if they would have faith and not doubt that they would not only be able to do what He had done, but they would say to any mountain of demonic power to be taken up and cast into the abysmal sea and that it would be done.   He said that whatever they asked in prayer, really believing, that it would be done.(Matthew 21:21-22)
     When Jesus entered into the sacred place in the temple, the chief priests and elders of the people came up to Him as He was teaching about faith and asked Him by whose authority He was doing the miraculous things that He was doing.(Matthew 21:23)  As was His habit when talking to the Pharisees, Sadducees, scribes, chief priests, priests and elders of the temple, He did not answer them directly but He answered them with a question.  He told them that is they answered His question that He would answer their question and tell them by whose authority He was doing marvelous things. (Matthew 21:24)
     The question that He asked them related to John the Baptist.  He asked them if the ministry of John the Baptist was from heaven or from men? (Matthew 21:25)  The chief priests argued among themselves and reasoned that if they said John's ministry was from heaven that Jesus would ask them why they did not believe John and join with his ministry.  They also reasoned that if they said John's ministry was from men that the crowd would descend upon them because John the Baptist was so popular with the people. (Matthew 21:25-26) The chief priests answered Jesus by saying that they did not know the answer to his question, so He would not answer their question about whose authority He was under when He did such magnificent miracles. (Matthew 21:27)
    Then Jesus told them a parable about a man who had two sons. (Matthew 21:28-29)  He came to the first son and told him to go work in the vineyard.  That son said that he would not work, but he later relented and decided to go and work.  Then the man went to the second son and said the same thing.  The second son said that he would gladly go and work but he did not go. (Matthew 21:30) Jesus asked the chief priests which son did the will of the father.  They replied that the first son did the will of the father.  Jesus assured the chief priests that the tax collectors and harlots would get into My kingdom of God before they did.  He told them that John the Baptist, who taught repentance of sins and who was a man walking upright before Me, came to them with His message of repentance and they did not believe him. (Matthew 21:31)  He told the chief priests that the tax collectors and harlots believed John the Baptist.  Jesus told the chief priests that even when they saw that the sinners believed John the Baptist and repented, the chief priests still refused to repent and be baptized by John in water.   He chided the chief priest for not believing the message of John the Baptist.  (Matthew 21:32)  
    Jesus Christ's teachings about the fig tree and the ensuing parable was indicative of the truth that the nation of Israel had not recognized Him as their Messiah, the One sent by Me to save the world, so He ministered to the sick, the dying, the demon possessed, the tax collectors, the law breakers and the harlots, in other words the people who had been harassed and possessed by the devil.  They welcomed the ministry of both John the Baptist and Jesus Christ into their lives.  They repented and eventually became born of My Holy Spirit and baptized in My Holy Spirit while the dedicated Jews remained true to the lie that the Messiah was coming to set up a kingdom for the Jews only, a kingdom with opulent lifestyles for the rich and an authoritarian form of governing over the poor, the sick, the pagans and the demon possessed.   They did not know Me. They had the opportunity to know Me through Jesus Christ, just like the disciples knew Him and went to Jerusalem to wait for My promise to come into their lives where the Holy Spirit would take up residence in their lives in order to administer My new covenant with the entire world.  
    Jesus' claim that the least fortunate people in the world would be the first to enter into My kingdom of God was met with fear and unbelief by the Jews who were patiently waiting for their Messiah to establish Israel as the leader of the world.  The ministry of Jesus Christ made it clear that the first inhabitants of My kingdom of God would not be the governmental officials nor the religious leaders of Israel, but that the first ones would be the people who had a need for what My kingdom and I could offer to them, which is salvation from the works of the devil. (I John 3:8-9)
    The prophet Paul eventually said that in My kingdom of God there are no distinctions between male and female, slave and free, Jew and Gentile, (Galatians 3:25-28)  He said that you are no longer a slave to sin but you are My child and an heir to My kingdom of God. (Galatians 46-7) Jesus had explained it fully to the chief priests and elders of the temple when He ministered in the earth but they refused to believe.

BLESSING PREPARATIONS PROCEED

My Dear Precious Child,
   After Jesus Christ healed the sight of the two blind men on the way to Jerusalem, at the Mount of Olives Jesus sent two disciples ahead, telling them to go into the village opposite to them and they would find a donkey tied up and a colt along with the donkey.  He told them to untie the donkey and colt and to bring them to Him. (Matthew 21:2-4)  Jesus told the disciples that if anyone questioned them about the animals that they should say that the Lord needs them and that they would be released soon.  That prescribed event had to occur in order for scripture to be fulfilled.  Jesus told the disciples to tell the people of Jerusalem that their king was coming riding on a donkey and on a colt, the foal of a donkey who is a beast of burden. (Matthew 21:5-6) The symbolism was such that Jesus, Himself, was going to become a beast of burden, bearing the sins of the entire world.  (Isaiah 62:11; Zechariah 9:9)  The two disciples went and did exactly as Jesus Christ had commanded them.  The exact enactment that Jesus Christ had portrayed to them was to be the physical enactment of what was happening spiritually.  He would be heralded as the king of the Jews riding on a lowly animal instead of in a lush chariot with many attendants clad in parade finery, as was expected by the Jewish religious and political leaders.
     The disciples brought their robes and laid them on the backs of the donkey and the colt and He seated Himself on the clothing.  The crowd which had gathered also laid their garments on the road and other people kept cutting branches from the trees and scattering them on the road ahead of Jesus who was seated on the donkey.  The crowd went ahead of Jesus who was riding on the donkey and they shouted, "Hosanna to the Son of David, the Messiah.   Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!  Hosanna in the Highest!"(Matthew 21:7-9)
    When they reached Jerusalem everybody in the city became agitated, asking who He was to be entering the city in such revelry, making fun of the Jews' Messiah who was to come to earth.  The crowd united in proclaiming that the person was Jesus of Nazareth, not their Messiah.  (Matthew 21:10-13)  As was prophesied by the prophets, Jesus Christ went into the temple and drove out everybody who sold sacrifices in the sacred place, turning over the four footed tables of the money changers and the chairs of those who sold pigeons for sacrifices.  Jesus proclaimed in the holy place, "My house shall be called a house of prayer, but you have made it a den or robbers."  (Isaiah 56:7; Jeremiah 7:11)
     The blind and the lame came to Jesus in the porches and the courts of the temple and He cured all of them. (Matthew 21:14)   The chief priests and scribes saw the wonderful things that He did and they saw the children crying out from the porches and the courts, "Hosanna to the Son of David."  The religious leaders and political leaders were indignant that Jesus Christ in His lowly company of people and ragged clothing was being proclaimed the Messiah.  So they asked Jesus if he had heard what the people were saying.  Jesus spoke prophesy, saying, "Have you never read this: 'Out of the mouths of children and infants You have provided perfect praise?' " (Matthew 21:16; Psalm 8:2)
    Jesus Christ and His company of people left Jerusalem and lodged in Bethany for the evening.
    Everything that happened to Jesus Christ from His birth through His ascension into My heaven to sit down with Me had been prophesied by the prophets of old.  Anything that had not been prophesied did not happen, showing you the importance of your words.  Everything that Jesus did, said, proclaimed or taught had been prophesied by the prophets of old.     
    Likewise, everything that you speak in your intercessory prayer closet in My heavenly language of prayers in the Holy Spirit becomes reality in your life.  You are allowing My Holy Spirit to speak My will in your life on earth, prophesying what is to come in your daily life on earth.  My angels go and heed My words, bringing good and perfect things into your life on earth and in your life to come in My heaven.  Prophesy means to speak for Me.  When you pray in the language of the Holy Spirit you allow me to create solutions to your problems and answers to your prayers, just like Jesus Christ prophesied and the prophets prophesied.
    My magnificent plan of getting My words into the mouths of My children of promise are My words that bypass your human mind which harbors unbelief and doubt.  The plan was in My mind from the foundation of the earth.  It was in My plan on how to defeat the works of the devil in the lives of My children of promise.   When My children of promise pray in the language of My Holy Spirit in intercessory prayers, I continue to bring My will into their lives through the words that they pray in intercessory prayers in My language of heaven.  By the wondrous work of My Holy Spirit, the demonic enemy of My children cannot intercept My words because the person speaking in My heavenly prayer language are not privy to what they are praying.  The only Entities involved are Me, My Holy Spirit and My angels, just like at the beginning of the earth when I spoke through the Holy Spirit and the earth was created.   That is why Jesus said that you will ask and it will be given to you pressed down and overflowing shall men give into your bosom. 
     That is why Paul said to pray at all times in the Holy Spirit, because My creative words bypass your human mind of unbelief and they are spoken through your mouth in My heavenly language, which produces perfect results every time.  (Ephesians 6:10-19) 
     My ways are perfect when the human mind of people is resting but their mouths are praying in the language of My Holy Spirit.  Paul said that when you don't know what to pray that My Holy Spirit prays in a language that speaks My perfect will that causes all things to work together for your good. (Romans 8: 26-28)

BLESSING KEYS AMPLIFIED

My Dear Precious Child,
     While Jesus Christ was giving more clues on how to attain My blessings in your life on earth, He spoke about the fact that He had not come to earth to be waited upon like earthly kings, but instead He came to earth to serve mankind, meaning to serve healing, health, kindness, mercy, forgiveness, love and peace and salvation from the works of the devil to everyone. (Matthew 20:28) He also proclaimed that He was going to be a ransom for many people by becoming the price that would be paid to set them free.  You must remember that the Pharisees and Sadducees, religious leaders and other political leaders had the image in their minds of the Messiah coming to earth as a wealthy king whose attitudes and actions portrayed their earthly, human kings.  That is the reason why they did not recognize Jesus as the Christ.
      As Jesus and His disciples left Jericho a great throng accompanied them.  Suddenly they observed two blind men sitting by the roadside.  When they heard that Jesus was passing by them, they called out to Him, crying for Him, the Son of David, to have pity and mercy upon them.  Many of the men in the crowd chided them and told them to be quiet.  The blind men cried out even more for the Son of David to have pity and mercy on them to which Jesus asked them what did they want Him to do for them.  One of the men announced their need, that they were blind and they knew that if He ministered to them that they would be able to see. Jesus touched their eyes and they could instantly see and followed Him. (Matthew 20:29-34) 
    Jesus had given to the crowd an image of Himself as being a servant of the people by His healing of the two blind men.  He was demonstrating for the crowd of people that to be great among people you must be humble enough to serve other people by allowing My Spirit to answer the prayers of people through you and minister to their needs instead of requiring them to meet your needs and bow to you as royalty.
    He had already clued His disciples in on His arrest, His beating, His crucifixion and His going to hell for the sins of the world, letting them know that those punishments would be for all of the other people of the world who were sinners, not for His own sins.  Paul later  wrote that He, who knew no sin, became sin for them so that His righteousness would come into them.  (I Corinthians 5:21)  Jeremiah had prophesied that He would initiate a new covenant in which I would write My words upon their minds and their hearts, that I would remember their sins no more, and that I would be their God and they would be My people.(Jeremiah 31:31-34)  From that prophesy the religious and political scholars assumed that He would be an earthly King similar to King David. 
    The prophet Joel had prophesied that the time would come when the former rain and the latter rain would come upon them, that I would restore what the canker worm, the crawling locust, the hopping locust and the stripping locusts had eaten, speaking of the demons who had cursed their lives.   He had prophesied that the people would have plenty to eat and be satisfied and that I would deal wonderfully with them.  He said that My people would no longer be put to shame because of the evil to which they had attached themselves.  He said that those things would happen when I poured out My Holy Spirit upon all flesh, that their sons and daughters would prophesy by speaking in languages they had never known, that they would dream dreams and see visions, even their own man servants and maid servants would participate in those days when I would pour out My Spirit.   By that prophesy, I was letting them know that everyone is equal in My eyes, that their own servants would call upon Me also, and that the sun would be darkened and the moon turned to blood when that wonderful day of the Lord came into the earth when My Holy Spirit would come to live inside of people who seek Me and My righteousness.  All of those events that were prophesied by the prophets of old came to pass on the day of Pentecost in the upper room after Jesus Christ ascended into My heaven to sit down with Me and send My Holy Spirit to be the helper of My children from the inside of them by their being born of My Holy Spirit and baptized in My Holy Spirit.   It has continued to come to pass over and over again when a person on earth pursues My kingdom and My righteousness.  My Holy Spirit, who was the source of power of Jesus Christ when He ministered in the earth, He became the Spirit of Truth to everyone who calls upon Me to be born again and baptized in My Holy Spirit.  Jesus said that people would no longer ask anything of Him, but that they would ask the Father and I would answer their prayers through the Holy Spirit. (John 16:23)
    There were plenty of prophesies that were laid out before the disciples of Jesus about what was going to come.  His disciples were not surprised at the severity of the punishment of Jesus for the sins of the world.  He spoke of it many times in order to prepare His disciples.  You read about the reaction of the Pharisees when it was discovered that the grave was empty and that Jesus was gone.  The  chief priests and the guard joined the Pharisees (Matthew 28:11-15) in perpetuating the lie that the disciples had stolen the body of Jesus Christ, that there had been no resurrection.  They did not want to perpetuate the truth of what had truly happened, the truth of the things that the prophets and Jesus had prophesied, that He died for the sins of the world and then He rose from the dead to sit down with Me, giving to My Holy Spirit the duty of continuing the ministry of salvation of the earth and of the people in it.
     With that promise being fulfilled, the followers of Jesus continued praising Me and doing the works of Jesus Christ in the earth with the power of My Holy Spirit.

BLESSINGS OF SERVING GOD'S FRUIT TO THE MASSES

My Dear Precious Child,
    After Jesus Christ made it clear in His parable of the owner of the vineyard that the Gentile unbelievers would enter into My kingdom of God before the Jews did,  some of the disciples of Jesus began to show their deeply seated personal desires that were contrary to His teachings about the characteristics that He wanted to be present in His followers.  It had been obvious earlier but this time they used their mother to appeal to Jesus about the two of them having a special place in My kingdom of God when it came into the world.   Instead of James and John pestering Jesus about having a special place in His kingdom they incorporated their mother in passing on their appeal to Jesus.
    Before she made her appeal to Jesus for her sons, Jesus made it more clear than ever that He would eventually be mocked, whipped, crucified and raised from the dead on the third day. He made it clear also that it would be the chief priests and the scribes who would be responsible for sealing His fate.   It was after Jesus painted a clear picture of what would cruelly be done to him that the mother of Zebedee's sons, James and John, kneeling before Jesus, worshiped Him and asked if she could ask a favor of Him.  
    Jesus asked what the mother of James and John wanted, to which she answered that Jesus give orders that her two sons were sit on either side of Jesus in the kingdom of God when it came into the earth.  Jesus told the mother of James and John that she did not know what she was asking of Him.  Then He quizzed her sons, asking if they knew what they were asking in their request for special favor?  Jesus asked them personally if they were able to drink of the cup of which He was to drink and to be baptized with which He was baptized?  Both James and John answered, "Yes."  They had stars in their eyes about their future but they had no knowledge of the terror that would be their due because they agreed to the same future cruelty that was to be done to Jesus Christ.
     Jesus told James and John that because they desired special favor and privilege in My kingdom of God that they would certainly drink of the same cup as He would drink, but that whoever was to sit at His right and left hand, that choice was not for Him to make, that the places were already ordained by Me, His Father in heaven.   Unfortunately the other ten disciples heard about James and John's mother petitioning Jesus for special places of privilege in My kingdom of God and they were indignant at the spoken desire of the two brothers and them using their mother to gain a special place in My kingdom of God.
    To settle the disagreement, Jesus told them about the spiritual atmosphere in My kingdom of God and the duties of the inhabitants of My kingdom of God.  He said that the royalty of earthly Gentiles lord it over their people and that their great men hold the rest of the people in subjection over their domination, tyrannizing them.  Jesus Christ told the disciples that their motives must be the opposite, that their desires must be to become servants of people instead of rulers over people.  He said that anyone who desired to be great among people must first become a slave of people, humbling themselves to serve My love, joy, peace, goodness, kindness, mercy and patience in all of their dealings with people.
    Then  Jesus Christ proclaimed that He, Himself, did not come into the world to be waited on like a human king desires, but that He came into the world to serve salvation to mankind, becoming a ransom for many, paying the entire price to set them free from the works of the devil.  (I John 3:8)
    History books include the fate of James and John who were both martyred.  James was put to death by King Agrippa. (Acts 12:1-2)  Unfortunately, the desires of James and John and their mother were not within Jesus and My desired attitudes and humble plans for the disciples of Jesus Christ.  Their desire to be greater than the rest of the disciples was a desire from hell, which resulted in their agreeing to have the same tragic fate that seemed to be the end of Jesus Christ.  However, as My plan unfolded for Jesus Christ, he went to hell and by the power of My Holy Spirit He was raised from the dead.  James and John, because of their desire to be privileged disciples of Jesus Christ instead of servants, as I desire that they become by serving My personality of love and peace to everyone, they should have been happy to take a back seat instead of a seat in the front reserved for dignitaries.  (Matthew 23:6; Luke 11:43; Luke 20:46)
    That situation spoken of by Jesus is a perfect example of a person being humbled after having the desire to be greater than anyone else.  The devil is excited to see that My children yield to his temptation to be greater than other people so that he can exalt them and then tear them down to the ground by their becoming the least respected of My children.  You must be on alert to the appeals in your thoughts to be greater than anyone.  That desire, proven by James and John, is from hell instead of from My heaven.  I exalt the humble, not the proud.  The devil exalts the proud so as to make a display of their fall from power and respect to becoming disgraced and mocked.  Those people are the most pitiful examples of the devil's works in the earth, having been individuals raised to positions of having great power so that he can lead them to become dishonest, liars, perverted and obvious sinners.  Then he cuts them down to nothing in the eyes of other people, making them pitiful examples of his hatred for all people because they were created in My image at the beginning of time.  Destroying people is the devil's only motivation.  He uses his demons to accomplish it by their tempting you with greatness and then they cut you down to earth with ridicule and embarrassment for you.  My ways are the opposite.  I desire that you become servants of people and then I exalt you Myself by pouring My blessings and rewards upon you.

BLESSING BECAUSE OF NEW BIRTH, NOT BY WORKS

My Dear Precious Child,
   As it got closer to the day of Pentecost when My kingdom came to live inside of My children, creating new creatures, Jesus Christ knew that His time on earth was limited.  Part of His reason for His coming into the earth was because of His teachings about My kingdom of God coming to live inside of and surrounding My children who yield to My appeal to become My children.   He began to teach even more specific parables about My kingdom so that My children would be prepared for the big day which was soon to come and also to recognize it. 
   He told His disciples a parable by saying that My kingdom of God is like the owner of an estate who went out at sun break among his workmen and talked about their payment for the day, which was one dollar a day.  Then he sent them out into the vineyard to work.  Later, at 9 o'clock, he saw other workmen who were eager to work standing in the marketplace.  He incorporated those people into his work force and told them that he would pay them whatever was right, which he considered also a dollar.  He went out at noon and saw other men who were eager to work and did the same thing.   Then at 5 o'clock he went back out  and found other men standing around with no work to do, so he asked why they were idle.  They said that nobody would hire them, to which the owner told them that they could work for him also and that he would pay them what was just and fair, which was also a dollar. 
    When evening came, the owner of the vineyard gathered the workmen together and he told his manager to call the workers together after they had finished their work and pay them their wages, beginning with the last and working backward to the first.   To the last ones employed, he paid them the full dollar, the same as the men who had worked since early morning.  Of course the men grumbled that the men who only worked an hour were paid the same as the men who had worked 12 hours.  The owner told the complaining men that they had agreed to work for a dollar, just the same as the other men so they had no basis for their complaint.  The angry workmen said that it wasn't fair that they got the same pay as the men who only worked an hour when they, themselves, had worked in the hot sun all day long.
   The owner told the men that it was his agreement with all of them for the same pay, so it was fair that they got the same pay.  He asked them if he was not permitted to do what he said he would do or did they still begrudge his generosity to the other men?  He asked them if their eyes were evil because of his goodness?  He told them that he had told them earlier that the first would be last and the last would be first.  Then He told them that many men were called but few were chosen. 
    Jesus was explaining the scenario of what was going to come when My kingdom of God came into the world on the day of Pentecost.  Even though the Jews had been operating under a covenant with Me for years, in My kingdom of God they would only be as evenly privileged as the Gentiles who had never had a covenant with Me in the past.  Yes, the Gentiles would receive the same glorious blessings and rewards of being My children as the Jews who had always proclaimed to be My special people.  Jesus Christ knew the struggles with evil that the Jews had experienced for years that caused them to break their covenant with Me.  He knew that when My kingdom of God came into the world on the day of the observance of Pentecost that whomever was obedient enough to be in the upper room in Jerusalem, whether Jew of Gentile, whether believer or pagan, that their experiences would be the same and their blessings and rewards would be the same, proving that I am not a Father who respects one child more than the other but that it is by faith that they would become My privileged children, not by their works for what they thought was My kingdom works they had done for many years.  The rewards and blessings are the same in My family of God because I am not a Father who respects one child more than the others.  (Acts 10:34)  I do not choose favorites. 
     According to the parable of the sower, if there are some people who do receive more blessings and rewards from Me is it never because of anything that I have done such as reward one child more than the others.  (Matthew 13:18-23)  If, in fact, one person has good ground and grows more wisdom and knowledge, then that person's gates are more open to My blessings and rewards because of his or her desire to seek Me and My righteousness, not because of My having rewarded anyone more than others.  In other words,  again it is by faith and not by works that My children obtain My blessings and rewards.  (Galatians 2:16; Titus 3:5)  When there are works done in obedience to Me, then it is still by faith because without the power of faith, which is My Holy spirit, it is impossible to even carry out My desires.  That is why James said that faith without works is dead. (James 2:24-25) The power of My faith in My children spurs them on to be obedient to My words in their lives, which causes them to inherit more and more of My blessings and rewards which are available to everyone who seeks Me and My kingdom of righteousness.
     In the parable of the workmen, Jesus was preparing the Jews for something which they had never experienced before, that being to have Gentile believers, whom they considered pagan unbelievers, to become just as blessed and rewarded as themselves because of the generosity of My heart.  He taught it in order to try to keep the Jewish believers from becoming bitter and jealous which would disinherit them from My blessings because those demons would separate them from Me. (Isaiah 59:1-2)  I wanted Jesus to cover all bases in identifying the evil that the devil might use to separate people from My blessings.

BLESSINGS REPLACE CONSEQUENCES FOR SINS

My Dear Precious Child,
   My children marvel at the revelation that I can take away the consequences for sins that come from your having bound yourself to the devil by falling for his temptations and doing his will in the earth instead of your doing My will in the earth.
   IT IS TRUE!  When I promised to send the power of My Holy Spirit into My children in the new covenant I said that I would erase their sins from my mind and that I restore the years that the caterpillar, the canker worm, the locust and the cutter worm have eaten.  Those worms are demons who are present in your physical and mental DNA and appear on microscopes as little wiggly worms.  They are the demons who influence you to do the devil's evil will in your life instead of your doing My good will in your life.  (Joel 2:25-26) 
   I said in those words through Joel that you would never again be put to shame.  When a person suffers the consequences of his or her sins, the devil has robbed the person of prosperity, family unity, a good name, peace, joy and love.  But when the sins are forgiven and the person returns to Me I said that through the latter rain, which is My covenant of the Holy Spirit, that your threshing floor will be full of grain and your vats will be full of wine and oil.  That promise means that when My children come to Me and completely depend upon Me instead of depending upon the devil's voice of deception as your guide, then I am able to turn the curses into blessings.  The consequences that came from your following the devil's voice which cursed your life, I am able to turn those curses into My blessings when you no longer are ruled by the demons of power, lust, greed or any other worm from hell. 
   I said that after My new covenant of the Holy Spirit comes into your life in the earth that I will pour out My blessings upon you instead of your allowing the devil to continue pouring out his curses upon you.  I even said that I would cause your earthly life to be blessed and prosperous, that you would not suffer the shame any longer of having the devil's curses rule your life.  (Joel 2:26-27)
    All of those blessings, forgiveness and restoration, come into your life when you are born of My Holy Spirit and baptized in My Holy Spirit.  (Joel 3:1-5) When you begin praying in the language of My Holy Spirit, you allow Me to give My instructions through your mouth to the angels on how to restore to you what was robbed from you by the devil.  (Acts 2:1-13) On the day of the first Pentecost when the prophesy of Joel became reality in the earth, My Holy Spirit began to use the mouths of My children of promise to speak in languages they had never learned and also to pray in My heavenly language in an unknown, spiritual language, which is the language of My heaven.  Those words speak for Me, which is what prophesy is.  They speak instructions in My words to My angels on how to restore for My children everything that the devil has robbed from them. (Joel 4:9-10)
   It was on that day of the first Pentecost that I declared war upon the demons who inhabit the earth.  Every time My children of promise pray in the language of My Holy Spirit in intercessory prayers there is a war in the spiritual dimension of My angels battling against the demons.  In that war, there is victory every time for you because to the victor belongs the spoils of battle.  When you cooperate with Me in intercessory prayers, We are victorious every time and My blessings replace the curses that came from the consequences of sins.  Everything that was robbed from My children by the devil is replaced by glorious blessings from Me.  In Joel's vision he foretold that I called the angels into battle so that I could declare judgment upon all of the demons who cause offense in the lives of My children.  (Matthew 13:36-42) 
   Every time you open your mouth in prayers in the Holy Spirit you allow Me to give My instructions to the angels on how to restore My blessing of restoration to your family and how to exact judgment upon the demons. 
   Engage in battle, My children.  (Ephesians 6:10-18) Restoration of blessings in every area of your life is available.
   Your Father of Victory and Restoration

BLESSING HARD FOR RICH MEN TO OBTAIN

My Dear Precious Child,
   After Jesus told His disciples to allow children to come to Him because their angels are always looking upon My face in heaven, after He left that place a man came up to Jesus and asked Him what good deed a person needed to do to possess eternal life.  Jesus answered him the same way He always answered the Pharisees.  He asked the man a question.  He asked the man why he asked Jesus, Himself, about an essential deed?  He told the man that I am the only Good Being and that anyone who wants to enter into Life must keep all of My commandments, to which the man asked what kind of commandments of which Jesus was speaking.  (Matthew 19:16-17)
    Jesus answered the man by quoting some of the ten commandments given by Me to Moses, such as not to steal, not to kill, not to commit adultery and not to bear false witness, which is lying about someone.  He also added to honor his mother and father and loving his neighbor as himself.  (Matthew 19:18-19)  The man told Jesus that  he had always done all of the commandments, even since his youth.  He asked what he lacked?  (Matthew 19:20)
    There was no questions from Jesus relating to the man's perfect behavior, but instead Jesus told the man that in order for Him to be perfect that he should go and sell everything that he owned and give the money to the poor.   (Matthew 19:20-21) Jesus assured the man that if he gave all of his money to the poor that He would have riches in heaven, if he became a disciple of Jesus.  Unfortunately for the rich man, the price was too costly for him.  He could not sell all of his possessions and give the money to the poor.  The man left the presence of Jesus Christ because he was very rich and was not ready to give all of his riches away.   He was secure in his own riches but he was doubtful about the promise of Jesus.  Jesus told His disciples that they had observed what he had taught to them, that it's very difficult for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.  (Matthew 19:22-23)
    As often happened, the disciples of Jesus Christ were disturbed in their thinking.  They quizzed Jesus, asking if it was possible for anyone to enter into the kingdom of God.   Jesus assured them that with people it's impossible but with Me, it's possible.  (Matthew 19:26)
    Then Jesus told His disciples a little bit about their own future.  He said that when the Messianic age came into reality in the world, which was what He had been teaching about when he taught about My kingdom of God, he said that His disciples would have special places in it because they had remained loyal to Him.  He told them that the disciples would be part of executing My righteousness in the earth because they would sit on thrones and judge the 12 tribes of Israel.  The judgment would come upon Israel because they failed to recognize Jesus Christ as My Son, the executor of My Salvation for the world.
    Jesus spoke about the rewards and blessings which were to come into the lives of the disciples.  He said that anyone who had left houses, family, children and lands for His sake would receive a hundred times over in their lives in the earth and that they would also inherit eternal life.  Jesus proclaimed that the first would be last and many people who were last at that time would be first.  He was talking about the Gentiles, the pagan people who were without a God.  Jesus was saying that the pagans would follow the gospel of Jesus Christ and they would end up being the first people to enter into My kingdom of God but the people of Israel would be the last to enter.
     The teaching of Jesus Christ about My kingdom of God which was soon to come into the earth heralding the Messianic Age was getting closer and closer.  He had to do His part in the scenario by being crucified, dying, going to hell, taking back from the devil the authority to the earth that I had given to Adam and Adam had given it to the devil.  Jesus had to be raised from the dead by the power of My Holy Spirit and He had to ascend into My heaven to sit down with Me.  Then He was going to send My Holy Spirit to live inside of people, allowing Me to become Lord of the earth through the Holy Spirit who would live inside of human being  just like He lived inside of Jesus Christ.  It was through those people that My temple in the earth would be the same as it was during the earth walk of Jesus Christ.  (I Corinthians 3:16; II Corinthians 3:17-18)  I would live inside of them the way I lived inside of Jesus Christ, which was in the person of the Holy Spirit.
   The time was getting close for Salvation to come to the earth and all people.  A new heaven and a new earth would emerge and all things would become new.  There would be great rejoicing on the day of Pentecost when My kingdom of God would come into the earth to be enjoyed by My children of promise.   My Spirit of Life that was in Christ Jesus would live inside of other human beings, giving them authority over all evil that is in the earth.  It would be a day of great rejoicing, being repeated over and over in the earth when human beings became My spiritual children by virtue of My Spirit living inside of them and exerting My power over evil when they pray in My spiritual language of heaven and cast demons out of the earth and into the fiery pit that I prepared for them.  (Matthew 13:236-43)

BLESSINGS OF BEING IN HARMONY WITH GOD

BLESSINGS OF BEING IN HARMONY WITH GOD
My Dear Precious Child,
    In the teaching of Jesus concerning forgiveness of people who harm you, hurt you, injure you, wrong you, steal from you or falsely accuse you, He said to forgive the people seventy times seven times so that you will be in the spiritual position of receiving My rewards and blessings from heaven while you live in the earth.  He said that because I have forgiven you a multitude of times that you owe forgiveness also to anyone who offends you in any way.  He said in the parable of the king who forgave his attendant of $20,000.00 that the king put him in prison because he refused to forgive another attendant of $10.00 and said that the jailers would torture him if he did not forgive the other attendant of his loan.  It is translated to say that I will do the same thing to you if you do not forgive everyone of their offenses against you.  What is true is that in binding yourself by being vengeful to another person, you suffer the judgment of the devil operating in that person because you have bound yourself to him by refusing to let an offense go, by refusing to forgive him or her.  Instead of being bound to Me by forgiving someone, you are bound to the demons in the other person by being bound to him or her by seeking vengeance.  You have become one with evil instead of becoming one with Good by forgiving the person who offended you.  (Matthew 18:21-25)  Let the offense go 490 times, if necessary.
    As was the habit of the Pharisees, when Jesus left that area and went to Judea great throngs of people accompanied Him and He cured them there but the Pharisees could not leave Him alone in their tests for Him.  They tested Him by asking if it was right for a man to divorce his wife for any and every cause?  As was the usual habit of Jesus, He answered their question with a question.  He asked them if they have ever read that the maker of mankind made them male and female?  He said that was the reason why a man should leave his mother and father and cleave to his own wife, so that the two of them would become one flesh. In other words, it is the combination of the male and female genes which make a complete person to be head of a family.   He told the Pharisees that when a man and a woman marry, that they are no longer two but are one flesh.  He said, therefore, whom God has joined together, let no person separate.   (Matthew 19:1-6)
   The Pharisees continued in their questioning of Jesus Christ, asking why Moses' law commands them that divorce is permitted and all they needed to do was to give the wife a certificate of divorce, dismissing her as his wife.  Jesus told the Pharisees that because of the hardness of their hearts Moses allowed them to divorce but from the beginning it was not ordained by Me.  Jesus Christ went on to say that a man who divorces his wife except for her having committed adultery, that man, if he marries another woman, commits adultery  and the man who marries the divorced woman also commits adultery. (Matthew 19:7-9)
    Jesus' disciples got in on the questioning of Jesus by asking Him if He was saying that in that situation that it's not good to be married?  Jesus answered them by saying that they probably could not accept what He was going to say, but he said that there are men who       
do not have the capacity to marry, there are also eunuchs who have been born incapable of being a husband and there are eunuchs who have been made so by men, and that there were eunuchs who had made themselves incapable of marriage for the sake of My kingdom of heaven.  He told the disciples that if it was in their power to accept that truth, then they must accept it. (Matthew 19:10-12)   Jesus was more definite in His answers to His disciples than He was in His answers to the Pharisees because He knew the level of spiritual insight that His disciples were capable of understanding. 
    The teachings of Jesus relating to the sin of adultery apply more directly toward the understanding of a person leaving My family of God and fraternizing with the devil's family of hell.  It was in those acts of spiritual adultery that My children leave Me and become bound to the devil's family just like Adam and Eve did in the garden when they bound themselves to the devil's works and allowed him to flood the earth with curses from hell. Those actions cost My children their place in My family where there are blessings more abundant than can be imagined.  When they commit spiritual adultery by fraternizing with the devil and his demons, they have left My family of Good and joined with the devil's family of evil, being ever eager to spread evil in the earth instead of spreading My love and My goodness in the earth. 
   Children were brought to Jesus so that He might lay hands on them and pray for them, but the disciples rebuked the people who brought the children.  Jesus told the disciples to leave the children alone.  He said that the disciples must allow the children to come to Me, to not forbid them, because My kingdom of heaven is composed of children, to which Jesus laid His hands on the children and then went away.
    There are a lot of truthful revelations in that teaching session of Jesus Christ.  He taught about human adultery and then about the spiritual adultery of people. He taught also about the origin of man, that the first man was male and female and that I did not create Eve in the same manner as Adam.  I took the female part of Adam out of him and made that part a different person, leaving man complete as a separate being and women complete as a separate being, yet together they are a complete unit.   He told the disciples that if they could accept that truth that they must accept it.  
     All of My truths are revealed to you so that you will be spiritually equipped to take actions in the earth that allow you to do My will in the earth which qualify you to receive My blessings in your life on earth because you have become a member of My kingdom of God, qualifying for My blessings as being My child.  I would not be a good Father if I made you wait until your earthly body dies for you to experience My heaven.  Those people who are born of My Spirit, baptized in My Holy Spirit, walk in the guidance of My Holy Spirit and pray in the language of My Holy Spirit are equipped to have My heaven available to them while they live in the earth, just like I planned at the beginning when I created the earth and people to have a replica of My heaven on earth on which to have a heavenly, blessed existence.

BLESSINGS OF FORGIVENESS AND HARMONY

My Dear Precious Child,
    After I told Jesus to tell His disciples the importance of being in harmony with everyone in order for you to inherit all of the blessings that I have for you, in the truth that I go after any one of human beings who are lost I encouraged His disciples through Him that if anyone had anything against them that they should go and apologize and bring peace between the two of you.  I told them that if the person does not accept your apology that you are to take another person or two with you to talk to the person who has an offense against you.  If the person does not believe the two or three witnesses, then I said for them to take the person before the church court or the political court in order for the offensive person to realize the importance of their forgiving you and becoming harmonious with you.  If the person still does not accept your apology and give up his anger toward you, then I said for you to treat the person like a tax collector or a pagan by being in no fellowship with the person because if you bind yourself to him or her then you are binding yourself to the devil and his kingdom which has bad results. (Matthew 18:11-18)
     Jesus Christ went on to tell His disciples that where two or three people are in harmony with each other and they meet together, then I am in their midst.  As I told you in the past, I always attend in the spiritual dimension family reunions where people are gathered together in My name.   Notice that I said when the people are in harmony that I am always there.  (Matthew 18; 19-20)
    I went on to teach through Jesus another principle of My kingdom of God when Peter asked how many times he should forgive someone, suggesting seven times?  Jesus told Peter not just seven times but seventy times seven times.  Then He spoke to them a parable about a king who was settling with his attendants any money owed to the king.  One of his attendants owed $20,000,000 to the king.  He had no money with which to pay the king so he begged the master for time to get the money.  The king refused, saying that if the attendant did not pay that he would sell the man, his family and all of their possessions in order to settle the debt.  The attendant continued in his begging.   Eventually the king was overcome with pity and compassion and forgave the entire loan that the attendant owed to him. (Matthew 18:23-27) 
    When the attendant left the presence of the king so grateful for having been forgiven, he encountered a second attendant who owed him money.  That second attendant asked for more time to be able to pay the first attendant who had been forgiven by the king.  The first attendant who had been forgiven by the king refused to give the second attendant time to pay his debt to him, and he demanded the money immediately.  The first attendant had the second attendant who owed him money put in prison for nonpayment of the debt.  Some other attendants told the king about the first attendant and his cruel judgment of the second attendant; to which the king called the attendant which he had forgiven before him and withdrew his graceful offer to eliminate the debt and sent the ungrateful and wicked attendant to prison.  The king told the ungrateful attendant that he should have passed on  the gracious offer to forgive the second attendant's debt to him instead of refusing to have pity and compassion on him. (Matthew 18:29-31)
    Jesus Christ told his disciples that I could not forgive them of their sins if they did not forgive other people of their sins.  If they do forgive other people, then I can easily forgive them.  (Matthew 18:32-35)  But, if they hold on to their sin of vengeance and refuse to forgive other people who owe them money, or anything, then I can't forgive them, which means to send forth the sin from them, because they are holding on to the sins of other people.   You at least owe forgiveness to other people because I have forgiven  you of every imaginable sin of thought, attitudes, words and deeds.
   You cannot be in harmony with someone who does not accept your apology and instead holds something against you.  Do everything in your power to bring peace between the two of you so that there is harmony between you.  This principle fits into the teaching of Jesus Christ of binding and loosing.  If you refuse to loose someone of a sum of money owed to  you, then you are binding yourself to the demons behind the vengeance of the person who owes you money. Paul said to do good to someone who hold an offense against you.  He said to give food to him if he is hungry and to give drink to him if he is thirsty.  He said in doing a kind action toward an enemy that you are allowing My angels to place coals of fire on the head of the enemy and burn the demon of vengeance out of the person, leaving the person with a desire for harmony with you.  (Romans 12:12-21:Ezekiel 10: 1-2)
    Overcoming evil with good is My desire for all of My children.  If you try to overcome evil with more evil, you only add more evil in the world, which places you in the devil's family in which you inherit his curses.
    Learn the lessons of forgiveness and harmony well.  Your observance of them places you in My kingdom of God and causes My blessings to flood into your life on earth.
    Your Father of an Abundance of Rewards and Blessings.

BLESSINGS GROW IN A KINGDOM

 MY DEAR PRECIOUS CHILD,
    The teachings of Jesus described in His many parables what My kingdom of God is like.  He said that it is like when a person takes a mustard seed, the smallest of all seeds, throws it into his garden, and it grows into a bush and then grows and grows more until it becomes a big tree and the birds come and shelter in its branches. (Luke 13:18-19; Matthew 13:31:32)  
    That truth is no mystery to My children who have experienced My kingdom of God growing inside of them and bringing them great joy.  My Holy Spirit is My tutor who is alive and active inside of them.  He is the seed that is tossed by Me into the life of a person.  When a person hears about My Holy Spirit ushering My kingdom of God into the life of a person, if the heart and soul of that man or woman is rich soil then the seed grows by the tutoring of My Holy Spirit into a bush, which is after the person is born of My Holy Spirit. (Romans 14:17)
    Being born of My Holy Spirit means that the person becomes a new form of the seed by the seed transforming into a much larger form of being a bush.  The person has grown by seeking Me and My kingdom of God.  That person has allowed My Spirit to have a temple in the earth, the person's own body. (I Corinthians 3:16)  The person is then baptized in the baptism of John the Baptist, being baptized in water, as an outward sign of an inner change of becoming My child.  However, If that person stays in his or her own denomination which only teaches about being born of My Spirit and experiences only the baptism of John, then the seed of the Holy Spirit inside of him or her will remain a bush.  His or her portion of inheriting My kingdom in the person's life will only be 30 percent of My inheritance for the person, if any at all.  There is a danger of the person's soil having become hard in which the seed or the bush will die, or if the person's soil in his or her heart is thorny then the devil will come and steal everything that the person has already inherited because persecutions, worries and/or the demon of the love of riches comes and steals everything from the spiritual life of those people.   
   Many of those children in whom My kingdom of God has only grown into a bush do not hear the entire good news by the tutoring of My Holy Spirit related to the command of Jesus Christ that told all of My children to not only be born of My Spirit but to also be baptized in My Holy Spirit.  I want My Children to become powerful against the temptations of the devil in their lives on earth and to be powerful to destroy the works of the devil like Jesus Christ did after He was baptized in My Holy Spirit.   (Acts 1:1-9; Matthew 3:16:17) The people in whom the Holy Spirit has become a bush inside of them as having been taught by teachers who teach over and over again the first principles about faith, baptism in water and other elementary principles instead of teaching about My power given to My children who experience the baptism in the Holy Spirit, those teachers cause My children to remain babies, having never allowed My Holy Spirit to grow into a tree inside of them with all the fruit of My Holy Spirit. (Hebrews 5:12-14)
    My children who constantly seek My kingdom of God, even after they are born of the Holy Spirit, they allow the seed of My Holy Spirit to produce the full gospel as spoken by Jesus Christ.  They become born of My Spirit and baptized in My Holy Spirit as on the day of Pentecost.  My kingdom of God surrounds them in My spiritual dimension around them and they inherit the angels that I send to aid them in their salvation.  (Hebrews 1:7 and 13-14)  That is when the birds of the air (My angels) come and nestle in the branches of the tree. (My Holy Spirit baptized children.) I send angels to help usher blessings into the lives of My children.  In that Holy Spirit baptism, of which John the Baptist and Jesus spoke, My children are endued with the power of My Holy Spirit and with My angels that I send to aid the Holy Spirit in saving My children from all the works of the devil while they live in the earth. (Matthew 3:11-12)
   Those of My children who are born of My Spirit and baptized in My Holy Spirit will either inherit 60 or 100 percent of My inheritance for them while they live in the earth.  It's their choice.  My children who depend upon earthly teachers to lead them to complete salvation will only inherit 60 percent of My inheritance for them because many of the teachings of pastors, prophets, teachers and evangelists are limited in their own learning. (Matthew 13:23) My children who depend completely on My Holy Spirit for one-on-one tutoring and guidance will inherit100 percent of My inheritance for themselves because all truth will be revealed to them.  The apostle John wrote to the churches that the people had no need for any person to teach them because they had the same anointing that they had from the beginning, the one-on-one tutoring by My Holy Spirit. (I John 2:26-27)  Paul told Timothy that he had the same gift of My Holy Spirit that came upon him when the prophets laid hands upon him.  He told Timothy not to let My Holy Spirit lie dormant in him.  He said for Timothy to think hard on this instruction so that everyone would see how he was advancing in wisdom and knowledge. (I Timothy4:14-16)  My children who continue to seek Me after being born of My Holy Spirit and baptized in My Holy Spirit will receive 100 percent of My blessings while they live in the earth because they have not bound themselves to false prophets or to the love of money.
    I intended for My kingdom of God to begin for My children when they are born of My Spirit and baptized in My Holy Spirit and still seek Me until they are completely taught and guided by Me via the Holy Spirit while they live in the earth.  Jesus Christ taught you about the opportunities to inherit My kingdom of God in your  life when He taught in parables and My Holy Spirit tutors My truths to you in your mind one-on-one when you depend upon His tutoring, which produces the mind of Christ in you.
   Allow My Holy Spirit to be your private tutor and the instigator of My glory in your life on earth.  That can happen when you build yourself up by praying in the Holy Spirit in your closet just like Jesus did, listening to His truths and heeding His guidance . (Jude 20; Matthew 26:36-46; Luke 22:41-44; Luke 5:15; Luke 9:29)

BLESSINGS OF KEEPING PEACE

My Dear Precious Child
      Jesus Christ proclaimed in His teaching about the demons who plague your life, that you must cast them out of the earth and into the fiery furnace in the abyss so that they will not cause you to continue to obey the temptations of the devil and continue to engage in his curses which cause your unhappiness, your depression and your constant struggles in life.  (Matthew 18:7-9; Matthew 13: 36-43)  In His own words and with definite meaning Jesus Christ proclaimed this: "For the Son of man came to save from the penalty of eternal death that which was lost."  Being lost is being separated from My love. 
    Jesus went on to expound to his disciple the truth about My love for all of humanity.  He told His disciples that they must realize that even if a man has 100 sheep and only one gets away from the rest of the flock that the man will leave the 99 that remained as the flock and go after the lost one.  When My children wander away from Me and engage in the works of the devil, I go after that lost one and do everything available in My heaven to bring that one lost one back into the flock.  Jesus spoke that it is never My will that any of My children stray from My family and get lost.  I never say that that lost child deserves to experience the judgment of the devil because he obeyed the temptation of the devil.  I never rejoice and indicate that the lost one deserves what he gets for wandering away.  Instead, I said that it is not My will that any one of the least of My children should be lost from My family and perish at the behest of the devil. (Matthew 18:11-14)
   Jesus went on in His dissertation about His love for humanity and His desire that every person be reconciled to Me.  The Holy Spirit later amplified it and said that My children have been called to the ministry of reconciliation, reconciling all people to Me. (II Corinthians 5:18-19)  When Jesus was teaching about the same truth, He said that if your brother wrongs you that you should go and reveal to him his fault, merely between the two of you privately.  Jesus was indicating that if there is a disagreement between you and someone else, that it is your calling from Me to go to that person and bring peace between you so that the person is not led down the road to destruction because of his or her anger toward you.
   This principle of My kingdom of God was so important to Jesus that He told you to go even farther in restoring peace between the two of you if a person is at odds with you about anything.  He advised you that if the person refuses your private appeal for a peaceful solution that you should take another one or two people with you and appeal to the person who is angry with you.  He said that with the confirmation of another person or two other people that the problem is established as being necessary that it be peacefully solved because two other people see the need for peace to be established. 
    If the person who is angry with you still does not succumb to your appeal for peace, then you must take the person before the authorities in the church or in court. (Leviticus 19:17; Deuteronomy 19: 15)   If the person still does not agree to forgive the incident and be at peace with you, then you are to treat him just like he was a tax collector or a pagan, which is Jewish law meant that you have done all that you could and so you have forgiven the person, so the other person must deal with the consequences of his refusal to make peace with you. (Matthew 18:17)  Then Jesus spoke a spiritual principle of binding and loosing, that to whatsoever you bind yourself on earth, you are also bound to the devil's demons or My angels in the heavens around you, whichever are involved in the relationship.   If you are at peace with the person, then My angels are ministering to both of you.  If you are in conflict with one another, then the devil's demons are involved in the relationship.  He said whatever you permit in your life on earth must be already permitted by Me in heaven.  Whatever you declare to be improper and unlawful on earth, must also be already declared improper by Me in My heaven.  (Matthew 18:18-19; Romans 8:2)
   In the conclusion to Jesus Christ's teaching this principle about making peace with everyone, if possible, in order for My blessings to flow into your life,  He spoke about My desire for harmony among My children and harmony in your life with everyone.  He said that if two or thee people are gathered together in My name and are in harmony with each other, then anything and everything that they ask of Me will be done for them by Me in heaven.   He reiterated that valuable truth when He said that where two or three people are gathered together in My name in unity and harmony, that I am in their midst.  As I have told you before, I never miss a family reunion when there is peace and unity between the people.  (Matthew 18:19-20)
    Harmonize with Me about My instructions to you about your keeping peace with everyone.  If anyone does not agree to become peaceful with you, then it is not necessary for you to personally strive for peace with the person after you have done what I asked you to do.  When you have had to resort to treating the person like a pagan or a tax collector personally, that does not mean that you should not intercede for the person in intercessory prayers, which was later declared after My children were filled with My Holy Spirit and baptized in My Holy Spirit.  You must remember that Jesus, when He as the Christ ministered in the earth, that He had not gone to hell yet for your sins so that you would have the power and authority of My Holy Spirit, which happens when My new and last covenant came into the earth.  It is still My desire that not one person should perish but that all people would come to a knowledge of the truth. (Ephesians 6:10-18; I Timothy 2:1-4)
    When there is harmony and peace between people there is every blessing in my heaven available to those people.   Peace with everyone is worth seeking because of the benefits of My rewards and blessings.

BLESSING BEGIN TO APPEAR

My Dear Precious Child,
    As it got closer to the time for Jesus to pay the ultimate sacrifice for the sins of the world, the keys to My kingdom of God became more and more apparent.  Jesus Christ had tied together his old teaching in the parable of the mustard seed with more facts relating to having faith the size of a mustard seed which would allow people to speak to a demonic kingdom to leave themselves as humans or someone else and that demon would have to obey.  Remember that the mustard seed is the smallest seed in the plant world but it grows into massive trees where angels come and nestle among the branches, meaning surrounding a person.  He had also in the past referenced the parable of the sower when He was teaching about a person having great faith so that he or she would inherit all of My blessings, or 60 percent or 30 percent, depending upon his or her level of faith. Jesus knew that when My Holy Spirit came to live inside of them that they would begin to have spiritual faith the size of a mustard seed when they were born of My Holy Spirit (Matthew 13:31-32; John 20:21-23) which would grow with their being baptized in the Holy Spirit into the massive trees that produce marvelous miracles because they would have My entire company of heaven at their disposal in the spiritual kingdom around them.  (Acts 1:1-9; Acts 2:1-4; Hebrews 1:1 and 22-26) They would not be alone, they would be surrounded in the spiritual dimension around them with My angels, by Me, by Jesus Christ, by the spirits of the virtuous men made perfect and by the spirits of the born again believers who had been made perfect.
    Even with the marvelous parables and insights and understandings that Jesus Christ was speaking to them, His disciples were still politically and religiously jealous.  They wanted to inquire who would be the greatest in My kingdom of God.  Jesus called some little children to Him and told the disciples that anyone who comes to Him in the kingdom of God must humble himself or herself and come to Him as a little child, trusting Him, forgiving and loving everyone.  He said that those people would be the greatest in My kingdom of God because they would have no desire to be great. (Matthew 18:1-4)  He added to that requirement by saying that anyone who causes a little child who believes in Him to stumble and sin, that it would be better if the person had a huge rock tied around his neck to be sunk to the depths of the sea.  He even said there were woes in the world for anyone who tempts another person to do wrong.  He made it clear that temptations would come into the world but the person through whom a temptation comes will suffer more woes in his life in the earth. (Matthew 18:7)
    Then Jesus identified the problem with temptations and how to deal with them.  His indication was that if a person's eye causes him to sin, then he should cast that sin out of his eye, speaking about the demon.  He said it's better to enter into My kingdom of God with only one eye than to enter with two eyes and a demon and be thrown into hell.  He also taught that if a person's hand or foot causes him to run toward sinning that he should cut off his foot and send it away from himself because it's better to enter into My kingdom of God maimed or lame than with two feet and a demon and be thrown into everlasting fire.  He was speaking about My judgment of the devil and his demons, sending them into the fiery furnace that I prepared for them from the foundation of the earth.  (Matthew 18:8-9)
    Jesus gave honor to little children by telling His disciples that they must beware of scorning or despising or thinking little of one of the little children because in heaven their angels always are in the presence of and looking upon My face in heaven. (Matthew 18:10)
He was beginning to be specific about what might keep people out of My kingdom of God such as a person's action toward children, and also their yielding to demons who tempt them to do the devil's evil works in the earth.  His emphasis was on the fact that good and evil cannot exist together and if a person chooses evil over good, then it is His choice that keeps him or her out of My family of heaven while he lives in the earth.  I am not restrictive.  It is a person's choice in choosing to do the devil's works that restricts that person from entering into My kingdom of God. 
     In that teaching Jesus was also mirroring the teaching about the sower and the ground upon which My seeds about My kingdom fall.  The hard ground, the stony ground and the thorny ground keeps people out of My family.  It is the good ground of the person who diligently seeks Me and My righteousness that causes the person to enter into My kingdom of God.  (Matthew 13:18-30)
    Jesus was becoming very specific and detailed in His teachings because the time was nearing when He would go to hell to pay for the sins of the world.   He who knew no sin became sin for them.  To the people who repent of sin and accept His sacrifice for their own sins can walk right into My kingdom of God which was about to come into the world on the day of the first real Pentecost. Because they sought Him with their whole heart, they obeyed His instructions to go to Jerusalem and wait for My promise of My new covenant. (Acts 1:1-9)
    Jesus Christ was tying His past teachings together with what was about to come upon the earth when He was crucified.  He proclaimed that He had come into the world to save that which was lost.
     You have received the same experience of being born of My Holy Spirit and you have experienced being baptized by My Holy Spirit.  You have My power and My wisdom to cause your life on earth to be blessed and happy.  You can do so by paying attention to the teachings of Jesus Christ and asking My Holy Spirit to further explain My commands.  Glorious blessings flowing into your life will be the result.

BLESSINGS CONTINUE TO EMERGE

My Dear Precious Child,
    As it came closer to the end of My old covenant with Moses and Israel, and the beginning of My new covenant with all people, Jewish believers and Gentile unbelievers alike, Jesus Christ began to more fully explain what was going to happen to Him so that His followers would not be shocked and run away from My kingdom instead of running into My kingdom of God which was coming soon into the earth in all of its glory.  After He explained to His disciples why they could not cast the demon of epilepsy out of the son of a man, He said that to be enabled to have the authoritative power to cast a demon that powerful out of anyone would take not only prayer but also fasting.  The fasting was required because certain of the disciples eventually professed to Jesus that they had the demon of pride and national privilege, asking to sit at His right hand when My kingdom of God came to earth.  Jesus knew that satan couldn't cast out satan, so He knew that some of the disciples were overtaken by certain political demons which would not allow them to have the faith to cast the demon of epilepsy out of the son of the man who had faith in Jesus to do it;  He, Jesus Christ, did not have that same political demon that some of the disciples had, so He had the authoritative power of My Holy Spirit to cast the demon of epilepsy out of the man's son.  The disciples needed to get rid of certain demons which stood between themselves and Me before they would have the spiritual authority to cast the demon of epilepsy out of the man's son.  (Matthew 17:20) You must remember that the Holy Spirit had not been given to disciples yet because Jesus had not been crucified and raised from the dead with the authority over heaven and earth.  That came weeks later. (Matthew 28) However, it was in the very same setting a few minutes later that certain of the disciples revealed that they had demons of national privilege and pride. (Matthew 18:1-9)  In that setting Jesus told them about casting that political demon out of themselves or they would not be able to enter into My kingdom of God when the day of Pentecost arrived. 
     To enable His disciples to keep faith when He was arrested, when Jesus and His disciples were going around Galilee Jesus opened up with more precise information of what was going to happen to Him.  He was frank in telling them that He would be turned over to men, that they would kill Him, but that He would rise on the third day.  Of course they were grieved and deeply distressed at His prophesy about His death and resurrection.  When they arrived in Capernaum the tax collector of the temple tax came to Peter and asked if His Teacher pays His tax for the temple.  Peter told the tax collector that, yes, His Teacher pays taxes for the temple.  (Matthew 17:24-25)
    When Peter got home, Jesus spoke to him and asked if rulers collect money from their own families or from the families of other people?  Peter answered correctly and said they collect taxes from the families of other people, not from their own families. Jesus told Him that he was correct.  However, in order not to have offense with anyone that would cause the person to stumble, Jesus told Peter to go to the sea and throw in a hook, to take the first fish that comes up, and when he opened the mouth of the fish Peter would find a coin in the amount that was owed to the tax collector.  Jesus told Peter to use that coin to pay the temple tax for Him and Peter also.   Remember that when Jesus had called the disciples to minister with Him, He told them not to take anything with them.   I, through Jesus Christ, had provided everything that they needed.  He continued to provide for them supernaturally, as in the fish with the coin in its mouth so that Peter could pay their temple tax. (Matthew 17:26-27)
    I provide everything for My children.  When I introduced Myself to Abraham, One of the first names that I told Abraham that described My nature was "Jehovah Jirah," meaning "The Lord will provide."(Genesis 23:14)  Until you are convinced that I will provide everything that concerns you, your faith is shaky.   That is why Paul confessed on many occasions that he was "persuaded" that I am able to provide what I have promised, just like I had for Abraham. (Romans 4: 16-21)  "Being persuaded" is the highest form of faith which opens the door to your life with the fulfillment of My promises to you.
    Jesus Christ showed the disciples that He provided even their tax that He owed in an unusual and miraculous way, in the mouth of a fish in the sea. 
    I am Jehovah Jirah, your provider of everything that relates to you.  They are called My blessings which I bestow upon you because I am your Loving Father.

BLESSING TRUTHS AMPLIFIED

My Dear Precious Child,
    The invisible, spiritual world became more and more real and evident to the disciples the closer in time it came for the sacrificial Lamb of God, Jesus Christ, to die for the sins of the world.  Not only did Peter, James and John see with their physical eyes the prophets Moses and Elijah who had long before died in the flesh, but the healing and miracle ministry of Jesus increased as more and more people came to Him for His power to overcome the works of the devil in their lives.  The invisible world became more and more visible.  My heaven became more and more evident to the people who witnesses My power of the Holy Spirit overcome the works of the devil in people who were came to Jesus Christ. (I Corinthians 15:40-49)
    To the three disciples, they had been convinced that the Elijah whom they had had physically seen and physically heard, that he was actually the spirit of John the Baptist, proving that My heavenly kingdom of God was already manifesting itself to human beings in the world. Jesus Christ and His disciples approached a large crowd that was waiting for Him and a man approached them and begged Jesus to have pity and mercy upon his son who was cursed with epilepsy.  The man told Jesus that his son would occasionally fall in a fire and many times fall into water in one of his convulsing episodes.  The man admitted that he had asked some of the disciples to pray for his son, but they weren't able to cure him.  (Matthew 17:14-16)  Jesus rebuked the demon and it left the man's son.  The boy was cured instantly.(Matthew 17:17-18)
     After His disciples privately asked Him why they couldn't drive out the demon of epilepsy, in that rare occasion Jesus Christ became perturbed with his disciples, telling them that they were of a perverse generation of people.  He said that He was soon not going to be with them any longer, and that their faith was lacking in their not being able to authoritatively drive out the demon of epilepsy.  He assured them that soon they would be able to have faith the size of a mustard seed and they would say to the demonic kingdom of epilepsy to move from one place to another place and it would obey because nothing would be impossible for them.   Jesus also told the disciples that that particular demon would only be cast out by prayer and fasting.  (Matthew 17:19-21)  He was mirroring the truth in the parable of the mustard seed, that when My kingdom of God came into them they would be filled with all faith and power. ( Matthew 13:31-32)
     It became evident to the disciples that they did not carry around the anointing of the Holy Spirit all of the time, that on occasion they must fast and pray for a special anointing of the Holy Spirit when they were going to be in a battle with particularly persistent and stubborn demons who do not want to give up their earthly resting places in the bodies of people.  Those demons are comfortable in the bodies of certain people.  Some of them had been handed down from generation to generation in the historical lineage of a particular family. Very often, praying needs to be accompanied by fasting a particular attitude or action because satan cannot cast out satan if his attitudes, thoughts, words and actions are present.  Jesus was assured that when My Holy Spirit became resident in the bodies of His disciples that He would train them and tutor them in how to effectively defeat the works of the devil in the lives of all people.  That anticipated day was soon approaching.

BLESSINGS PERSONALLY ENJOYED

My Dear Precious Child,
    After Jesus included the disciples in My plans for the salvation of the world, telling them His fate, that He would be crucified, die, go to hell for the sins of the world, retrieve from the devil the authority to the heavens and the earth which Adam gave to the devil in the Garden of Eden, and then Jesus Christ would be raised from hell into the earth again where He would be seen by many people before He left His earthly ministry and came to heaven to sit down with Me.  Then He would send My Holy Spirit, who was Jesus' source of magnificent power over evil,  send Him to live inside of people who seek Me and My righteousness.  That phenomenon would be called My kingdom of God coming into the earth in the person of My Holy Spirit to live inside of people just like He lived inside of Jesus and made Him the Christ, the Son of the Living God.  
    My plan was that it was going to be possible at that particular moment in history that the spiritual elements of My heavenly kingdom of God first became available to be infused into earthly people, making them Christians, meaning Christ people.   It would be known as My new and last covenant with people because I would live in them and be their God, speaking My words personally into their hearts and into each individual mind if they choose to seek Me.  Heaven comes to earth as a phenomenal experience in the lives of people who seek Me.  I lead and guide them personally and My Spirit becomes their Lord in the earth just like He was My Lord and Guide for Jesus. (I Corinthians 3:16; II Corinthians 3:17-18) He speaks My words to My other children  just like He did to Jesus after He became the Christ when He was baptized in My Holy Spirit. (Matthew 3:16-17)
    As a prelude to the wonderful events which were to take place in the earth, six days after Jesus told His disciples about My plan for the salvation of people and the earth, Jesus took Peter, James and John and they all went to a high mountain alone without the other disciples.  Before their very eyes, Jesus became completely changed in His appearance.  His face shone clear and bright like the sun and His clothing even became as white as light.  Suddenly Moses and Elijah appeared to Jesus and His companions and they started talking to Jesus. (Matthew 17:1-4) 
    Peter asked Jesus if he should build tents there for all of them, Moses, Elijah and Jesus.  While Peter was still speaking, a shining cloud overshadowed all of them and a voice from the cloud was heard saying, "This is My Son, My Beloved, with Whom I am delighted.  Listen to Him!"  (Matthew 17:5-6)  The three disciples fell on their faces, struck with fear.  Jesus touched them and told them not to be afraid.  When they opened their eyes, they only saw Jesus.  Moses and Elijah had disappeared from their sight.
    Jesus led them down the mountain and cautioned them not to mention to anyone what they had seen until He was raised from the dead, to which the disciples asked Him why the scribes say that Elijah must first come?  Jesus told the disciples that Elijah would come and that, in fact, He had already come but he was not recognized and so his enemies did to him what they liked, which was to kill him.  Jesus added that He, Himself, was going to also be treated cruelly and suffer at the hands of their enemies.   The disciples understood that when Jesus was talking about Eliljah that He was talking about John the Baptist. (Matthew 17:7-13)
    Those three disciples were beginning to understand that supernatural things were going to continue to happen to them because they had already experienced My kingdom of God having become visible in the earth to their very own eyes when they saw Moses and Elijah.
    Of course, after the spiritual display which they saw with their earthly eyes, their understanding and faith in My kingdom of God coming into their lives on earth became enlarged as they experienced supernatural events happening in their own actual spiritual experiences on earth.  They had watched Jesus Christ perform multiple healings and miracles and they had heard Him teach about My kingdom of God which was soon to also come into their own lives.  It all culminated later in their own lives on the day of Pentecost when My kingdom of God came into their own lives as they began to experience Me also do supernatural things through them, as was prophesied by the prophet Joel.  (Joel 3:1-5; Acts 1:1-11; Acts 2:1-4)  The joy that they expressed was also supernatural to the degree that people thought they were drunk with wine. 
   When supernatural events happen in the natural world around you, they are either believed by people or they are feared by people.  Make sure that you are a believer.  If you are a believer, My will can continue to be done in your life on earth just as perfectly as it is done in heaven.

BLESSED ASSURANCES

My Dear Precious Child,
    After Jesus Christ took the disciples aside and told them that eventually He would go to Jerusalem and suffer many things at the hands of the elders of the temple, the high priests and the lawmaking scribes, He told them that He would be killed and on the third day rise from the dead.   Then He took Peter aside and filled him in more completely on what was going to happen to Him.  Peter reacted violently to the news of what was actually going to happen to Jesus Christ, telling Him that God must forbid that plan that was going to happen to His Lord.  (Matthew 16:21-22)  Jesus vehemently turned away from Peter and said, "Get behind Me, Satan.  You are in My way, a hindrance and a snare to Me, for you are minding what is of the flesh and not what is of the Spirit. " (Matthew 16:23)
     Jesus launched into a teaching relating to things that are of the flesh of man and things that are of My Holy Spirit.  He told the disciples that anyone who desires to be His disciple needs to deny the things that are of the flesh, take up his own personal cross and follow Jesus Christ, being conformed into His example in living and even in dying.   He told them that anyone who is determined to save the security of his fleshly life will lose it, and anyone who loses his fleshly life for His sake, shall find the magnificent power of eternal life, the same life-giving power that was in Christ Jesus.  He told the disciples that it would not profit a person if he or she gains the whole world but loses the magnificent life that was going to be offered to the person in My kingdom of God when My plans took place in the earth.  (Matthew 16:24-26)
    Jesus then revealed to His disciples what was going to happen soon after He was crucified and rose from the dead.  He told them that He was going to come, along with Me and My angels, to call to account what had been done in the flesh, meaning that My judgment for the demons who had cursed the earth would receive their judgment from Me beginning on that day, the day of Pentecost when My Holy Spirit and My kingdom of God would descend upon the earth in the lives of all of the people who were waiting in the upper room for My promise. ( Matthew 16:27)  Jesus even told His disciples the approximate time when it would happen.  He told them that there were some of them sitting there listening to His words who would not die in the flesh before they saw Him, Jesus Christ the Son of Man, coming in His kingdom into the earth. (Matthew 16:28) 
    The disciples did not realize what they were hearing, that the event prophesied by the old covenant prophets was that My new and final covenant with humanity would come through Jesus Christ.  They did not realize that My plan included Jesus' crucifixion, death, visit to hell where He defeated the devil and took from him the authority to the earth and heavens, His being catapulted back from hell into the earth by the power of My Holy Spirit where He appeared to over 400 people and continued teaching about My kingdom of God which was soon to come into the lives of the people who seek Me and My righteousness.  Then Jesus Christ ascended into My heaven to end His ministry in the earth, sending My Holy Spirit, who was His source of power, into the earth to set up My kingdom in the bodies of people in the earth by their being born of My Holy Spirit and baptized in My Holy Spirit.  It was My new covenant, that I would live in people and be their God, writing My words on their hearts and in their minds, one on one, in divine fellowship.  (Jeremiah 31:31-33; Hebrews 8:8-12; Hebrews 10:16-24)
    The disciples of Jesus Christ were being personally taught by My Holy Spirit through the words of Jesus what was going to happen soon when My plan for the salvation of the earth became reality and not just something for the distant future.
    You have the assurance of what was to happen, what did happen, and what is still happening every day in the lives of people just like it happened to you, that Jesus Christ came back to earth in the person of the Holy Spirit and He lives inside of you to be your guide and your ever present help, your protector, your provider, your healer, your Spirit of Truth, and My creator of New Life in you.  He is still creating new beings in the earth with new attitudes, new thoughts, a new prayer language and new actions.  It's called My kingdom of God that has come to live inside of you, making you conquerors over evil in your lives on earth and also your receiving My promise of your coming to live with me in My heaven when your earthly life is over and you become part of the crowd of witnesses who surround you now, just like Jesus did.  (Hebrews 12:1 and 22-25)
    You are a recipient of all that Jesus Christ did for the world, the promise that he made to His disciples.  He is worthy of your constant praise.
