TRANQUIL PRESENCE

Dear One,

When peace reigns in your heart, you know it. It's not some feeling that you conjure up or work up. It is supernatural, out of the world calmness and tranquility.
"Peace that passes understanding," means that there are no earthly words to describe it and identify it. It is present like a down comforter enveloping your mind, your body and your spirit. It is ethereal, of another world. It is of My world, in fact.
Peace is lack of conflict of any sort, no inner conflict and no outer conflict which will rob you of a calm and undisturbed nature.
When you utter the word "peace" you perceive what the word connotes, Godly tranquility, stability and calmness.
Peace is the tangible evidence of My presence and the presence of My hosts of angels embracing, enveloping and ministering to you.
Treasure My peace and never let it go.
Love, God

FAITH CREATES AND FEAR CREATES

Dear One,
A person gives power to what he fears because of the energy given to fear in his thoughts and words.
Fear is negative power and the things which you fear receive that power so as to be able to perpetuate its plan and become reality. Fear creates an image in your mind of harm, of injury, of aloneness, of doom, of death, of illness, of failure, and then those images get power from your belief of the images and creation comes to those images. The power of belief allows the things feared to often become reality because fear has given your creative power to the images in your mind.
Faith is positive power, and the things for which you have faith receive your positive power or energy so as to be able to perpetuate the plans of faith, and the things for which you have faith will become reality.
Faith creates an image of good things in your mind of My blessings, My promises of healing, success, prosperity and on and on, and then faith supplies the power to create that image, allowing the images to become reality. That means that faith has given creative power to My images that I put in your mind of good things to come.
You give your authority and your power to the things for what you have faith or fear, good or evil, positive or negative.
Replace images of fear in your mind with new images of My blessings and My promises, and you will reap the benefits of My blessings.
Love, God

JUDGE YOUR THOUGHTS

Dear One,

The power of negative thoughts are so much more than you can imagine. Thoughts are the gateway to your own spiritual kingdom.
If your thoughts are negative, then you allow other negative invaders into your spiritual and earthly kingdom to destroy all you have and all that has been provided by Me. That is why I instructed so dramatically about forgiveness, because of the storm of negative spirits that enter when the gates of your life have been opened to judgment and unforgiveness, allowing destruction in every area of your life.
When your thoughts are positive, forgiving and merciful, then you allow positive forces into your spiritual and earthly kingdom to bless you and provide all you need and desire.
The emotions of My Spirit, which are love, joy, peace, goodness, kindness, mercy, faith and patience, must use your own mind and body to manifest themselves to the outer man and to the world. That's when all thoughts become positive, when My emotions are allowed to permeate your mind.
The emotions of the negative dimension lie in wait to coerce you into manifesting them to your own mind and to the world so that you will be polluted and the world will increase in its mental pollution.
Even mental reasoning can take total control of your mind if you allow a negative reasoning spirit to take control. That is reasoning independent of My spiritual input. Negative reasoning is how people reason out My very existence, reasoning that if they can't touch, feel, smell or see me then I must not be real.
Human emotions can also take total control of your mind if you allow negative thoughts of hatred, strife, conflict, jealousy, envy, anger, rage, division or impurity to gain control.
Become a watchman, being constantly on the alert to refuse any negative thoughts about anyone that are not loving and forgiving thoughts. Only receive and nurture the thoughts that come from your spirit where I live in the person of the Holy Spirit. He only speaks My words to you of hope, love and faith. All other thoughts that are negative are to be recognized as invaders sent to spiral you downward toward depression.
Your thoughts are important. They are the gateway to your having heaven in the earth or hell in the earth. Judge them rightly and reject any of the ones that are not uplifting and loving.

Love, God
Hebrews 4:12; Philippians 4:7 & 9; Proverbs 23:7

Body Functions

Dear One,
The joy that you feel when you share a testimony with other people can be compared to the blood flowing through a body. It takes needed nutrients to every connecting part of the body and also carries away the poisons and wastes that will not be utilized by the body.
It is the same with My body, the body of Christ. All parts of My body are connected and they need nutrients which can be provided by a person's testimony or revelation.
There are also poisons (negativity, depression, unbelief, doubt, conflict, etc.) that need to be carried away by the blood (the Holy Spirit) and eliminated. Testimonies can accomplish that.
Each part of the human body has its function. Without each part performing its proper function, the rest of the body suffers and becomes ill because the body has not been provided nutrients with which to grow, and also wastes and poisons have not been eliminated.
My body, the body of Christ, has the same problem. When people do not share meaningful testimonies with other people, then My body does not function properly.
When I lead you to share a testimony, think of it as feeding and purifying My body. The blood transfusions continue on and on and on when you continue to share My miracles in your life. That's why I told you when you gather together that one shares a song, one shares a testimony, one shares a revelation, and they are for the edifying of My body.
Share the good news. People need to hear it.
Love, God
I Corinthians 14:2

Answered Prayers

"The Fruit of Patience"

Dear One,
Because men don't know Me and know the intricate working of the spiritual world, men think that they have to beg me for answers to prayers. When men pray and don't see immediate results, then they think they haven't begged Me enough.
When you know Me and know My power and you know the elements that are necessary to see the outcome of your prayers manifested, then you are gifted with the fruit of patience. You must know that there are battles in the spiritual dimension that have to be won before the answers to prayers are evident to you.
Intercession from earth is a vital element, so you must always be ready to intercede.
Walking in the Spirit is a vital element because My Spirit wants to lead you and guide you and direct you into what is necessary from your perspective. He may ask you to cease walking in the fleshly activities of conflict, strife, jealously and depression. He may guide you into walking in love, mercy, goodness and kindness before all the positive elements combine to produce the answers to prayers.
You don't see the demonic activity in the atmosphere which delays the answers to prayers but they are there or the situation would not be negative.
Increased intercession plus walking in love will give boosts of positive energy to the hosts of heaven so they can defeat the demonic activity. Then the answer to prayers will become evident to you.
Invite Me into every situation. Talk with Me about every problem. Receive My instructions, then add the intercession of the Holy Spirit's words of power and you will see results.
I always R.S.V.P.
Love, God
Matthew 22:29; Romans 8:26
