LOVE IS ACTIVE

Dear One,

Love does make the world go around.
If love were taken out of the world there would be no more world. It would go crashing into the abyss of the universe. All of the life would be removed because love is at the foundation and base of all life.
Love is what makes the blood flow through the veins of all men. Where there is no love, blood is congealed and will not flow freely. Then disease comes into a person's body.
Love makes the brain capable of processing information. Without love the brain stagnates and rejects truth and wisdom.
Love has the power to heal. Without love there is no healing.
Love has the power to bring joy to humans. Without love there is no appreciation of joyful activities. Without love there is no reason to rejoice.
Love brings peace to the minds of men. Without love there is turmoil, dissension, war, destruction, division and strife proceeding from people and flowing to others, Those things will corrupt your world. That is exactly what the devil wants to happen.
Love produces deeds of kindness and goodness toward all living matter. Without love, selfishness abounds and men become self attentive, neglecting the needs of other people and other living beings.
Love is patient with the misdeeds, the mistakes and the failures of others. Without love, men become judgmental and vindictive.
Yes, My love is what makes everything in the world operate in harmony. Where there is no harmony, there is no love.
You must embrace everything that is of love and reject everything that is of disharmony, turmoil, dissension, destruction, division, strife, selfishness and judgment.
Love will heal your world and bring peace to your world. Be like your brother Jesus, determine to serve peace, healing, harmony, joy, patience, faith, goodness, kindness, mercy and love to everyone you meet.
Reconciliation and restoration should be your aim. My blessings are upon reconciliation and restoration through love.

Love , God

UNNECESSARY WEIGHTS

Dear One,

Have you ever tried to run an important foot race with a 150 pound weight strapped to your back?
Have you ever tried to run an important foot race with a 200 pound weight strapped to your back? That is an impossible way to finish a race, let alone win it.
Would you rather run a race with no extra weight strapped to you and run it with the lightest clothing and running shoes?
That is what Paul was talking about, running a race set before you, fixing your eyes on Jesus, the author and finisher of your faith. The Holy Spirit, through the Apostle Paul, was telling you to lay aside all weights that are initiated by worry, unforgiveness, vain imaginations and anything that is not in line with the wisdom and knowledge that I give you.
You can transfer that extra back breaking weight to Me, the burden bearer. You cannot run the race and win the race if you persist in carrying unnecessary weights on your back. They will wear you down and they will cause you to drop out of the race toward the high calling of Christ Jesus, which is to live the abundant life that He promised you.
Give all of the back breaking weights to Me, your failures, your worries, your negative imaginations, and give to Me the failures of others, the hurts and injuries that were done to you by them. Those are sent to make you stop dead still in your tracks rather than successfully completing the race set before you. The prizes are waiting to be awarded to you. Don't let the weights keep you from receiving your prizes.
Have you considered that your trying to fix a situation without My wisdom and insight is human works? I said that you began in faith and you must continue in faith. The human solutions that you are implementing in solving a problem are merely ineffective works. My wisdom and insight take the weights off of your back and puts them on to Me. Then I can solve the problem.
When I said that faith without works is dead, I meant that after you receive insight from me relating to a problem, if I give you instructions on what your participation must be in solving the problem, then you should follow My advice. If I have not given you any instructions, then praying in the Spirit and walking in love are the only works required of you. Those two actions of yours will leave the spiritual dimension free and clear for Me to perform My miracle in the situation.
Always look to Jesus, who began your journey and will complete your journey toward your receiving the full inheritance.

Love, God

BEAUTY FOR ASHES

Dear One,

When you can release the past with all of its imperfections, the hurts, the disappointments, the failures and on and on, then you are ready for the future and the perfections that I have planned for you.
You have very little real knowledge of the happenings of the past, only your perceptions of them which are based upon partial sense knowledge.
I advised you to forget all that is past and that you must look to the future with expectation of the best things to happen and also the highest blessings possible.
When you hold onto the past you are believing that I cannot make gold out of garbage and beauty out of ashes. The garbage and ashes are the ingredients that I use to form My blessing for you, just like I formed the first man out of the dust of the earth and breathed life into him. If you persist in holding onto the garbage and ashes, of the past then I don't have the proper ingredients to make your abundance of blessings because you have held onto them in your dimension.
Forget what is past and let me make an abundance of blessings for you beyond belief. I made water into wine. I can make blessings from the failures of the past if you will relinquish them to Me.

Love, God

CHERISH PEOPLE

Dear One,
Stay in the Spirit and the negative spirits of the flesh will not be able to rear their ugly heads.
See the joy and the good and the glory in every situation. Cherish every memory as if it were being memorialized in a book for all people to read.
Cherish. Cherish. Cherish. You are contributing to memories your grandchildren will remember forever and they will look at you as an image of Me with love and joy and goodness and kindness.
Laugh with those who laugh and cry with those who cry.
You are giving your young people sturdy, firm foundations on which to establish their lives. They know you are dedicated to prayer and you are teaching them by example that Love is the greatest. There is no greater activity than living My Unconditional Love. It will last forever in the lives of your family.
Love, God

COUNTING WHAT YOU VALUE

Dear One,
Just like you should count your blessings, you must learn to count what is of the utmost importance to you. Then you should determine to do what you know to do and what I have instructed you to do, whether it is be quiet and watch Me work or whether it is to do some house cleaning in your thoughts, speech, attitudes and actions.
My insight and advice are not idle words. They are given to you so that you will more expeditiously inherit the wonders that I have prepared for you.
Living My life in the earth involves many things, most importantly walking in love and praying without ceasing. Then you bring heaven to earth, just like Jesus prayed.
Love, God

YESTERDAY, TODAY AND TOMORROW

Dear One,
A very wise man once wrote, "Look to this day, for it is life, the very breath of life.
Another very, very wise man said, "Do not worry about tomorrow, what you should eat or drink."
Your mental receptors which will accept negative thoughts of fear and dread will influence you into dreading the future and you will be unable to appreciate the blessings that I have sent to you today. You will be blinded to the good of today because you are imagining negative future events. Have you forgotten that I said that you must forget all that is past? Also I said that I am able to do super abundantly more than you can think or imagine, according to the power that is in you. That is what you should think about.
If the power in you is fear, then you will have the negative things that you have imagined.
If the power in you is faith in Me, then you will have all the good and positive things that you have asked, and even more than you can imagine that I have for you.
The best is yet to come in your life. Live today and appreciate My gifts that I have already provided for you. When you do think about tomorrow, think about the things I will provide for you because you are My child.
Love, God
Matthew 6:25-33; Ephesians 3;20

Freedom to Rest

Dear One,

The intention of your spiritual enemies is to get you in bondage to people, to doctrines and to religious laws so that you will not be free to pursue truth.
Bondage results in fear and when you are in fear you are afraid to displease your Father by venturing out into uncharted spiritual waters. When you are in bondage to religion you actually cannot venture out into new, fresh, flowing waters of the Holy Spirit because you are bound (tied) to something else or someone else.
It is My desire that you come into the waters with Me and that you experience the cleansing that I give you in My Living Waters. Often fear precipitated by bondage to doctrine tells you to cling onto something or someone in the natural world rather than walking with Me into and resting on the river of Living Waters.
My river of Living Waters is flowing within you and you must allow yourself to venture inside of yourself where I live and go on many adventures with Me through the Holy Spirit.
You have often seen people encourage children to let go of the side of the pool so that they can swim unencumbered by restraints, but the children must first learn to trust the water to hold him up. I wait patiently for My children to let go of whatever has bound them so that they can float in the Living Waters. When you float you are resting, not struggling against the restraints.
First you must learn to trust Me and trust the Holy Spirit’s ability to hold you up in My Living Waters just like the child has to learn to trust water to hold him up. You also will learn to trust My ability to protect you and guide you. I promised you that the Holy Spirit would give you discerning of spirits to protect you and I promised that He would be your guide. What more do you need? Jesus promised that the Holy Spirit would take His place. He is in you to do what I promised.

Love, God
John 7:38
