UNSOLICITED PRAISE

Dear One,

Praise should preferably be from the heart rather than from the emotions.
When praise is from the heart, genuine and full of thanksgiving, it is unadulterated. That pure praise opens the windows of heaven just like heart of a person is opened when you give him or her unrequested, genuine, heartfelt compliments.
Praise from the emotions often comes from a manipulative spirit, praising because it's required by a leader to invoke My blessings. I know the heart of a person, whether it is genuine or whether it is forced. Sometimes religious spirits are in control, forcing praise in order to attain an emotional high for the people. When that happens you are building up the emotions rather than inviting My Holy Spirit to do His work among you and within you. When good results are produced from emotional praise and worship, the results are often only temporary because they are mentally produced rather than spiritually produced by Me.
When you tell others about My mighty works in your behalf, that is true praise and the result is that people are thrilled with the reality of My love.
Your individual forms of genuine praise thrill Me, even if they are sporadic phrases like when you often say, "Dad, you are greatest," or "Father, you are amazing, " or "Dad, you are something else." I know those praises are from a gracious heart and they have not been solicited, They come from a child who is thrilled with My work in your behalf.
I love the times when you are awe struck at My little daily kisses. Now, that's real praise, for you to be so in awe that you are speechless. That's when true praise has flooded your mind and body, flowing from your spirit. That's when healing takes place in your inner being. That's when you are 100% in unity with Me. Those times are precious to Me as well as to you.
Let praise be spontaneous, not programmed. Let praise be unsolicited by others. You know the difference and I know the difference.

Love, God

ROAD BUMPS

Dear One,


If you watch for bumps in the road of life, then you won't be surprised and dumbfounded when you hit the bumps and are jolted into an emotional reaction. When you are prepared for the bumps, knowing that they are all part of life; then the reality of them is not earth shattering. They become anticipated, handled, and then overcome rather than you being surprised, devastated, depressed and overcome.
Remember that I told you that in the world you would have tribulation, but to rejoice because I have overcome the world? And so you will with My help. I am the overcomer and I have made you a powerful overcomer n the past and I will make you a powerful overcomer now, and in the future I will make you a powerful overcomer.
You have experienced the joy of overcoming everything in life, all the bumps. Why would you doubt for a second that We will not only overcome every one in the future but that We will also overcome as a winner, as the head and not the tail, as above and not below?
You often forget that you are already the winner and that I have already overcome the evil one, so you have already overcome the evil one and all of his insidious tactics. So, therefore, you have overcome him and every situation he can produce.
Do not fear the bumps. If you do, you will live a life filled with dread and depression.
If you rejoice in My love and My power to overcome every negative thing in life, then you will live a life filled with joy and thanksgiving. You will see salvation in every area of your life.

Love, God

RATE OF RETURN

Dear One,
A loss is always replaced with a gain in My family when My children are led by My Spirit and pray in My Spirit.
A failure is always replaced with success in My family when My children are led by My Spirit and pray in My Spirit.
A sickness is always replaced with healing in My family when My children are led by My Spirit and pray in My Spirit.
Abandonment is always replaced with reunion in My family when My children are led by My Spirit and pray in My Spirit.
In My family there are no permanent losses, failures, sicknesses, defeats or abandonment when My children come to Me for insight and wisdom in every situation, then follow My advice and pray in My Spirit until the reversal is completed. I replace everything that is lost with something much better. You can't beat that rate of return.
Love, God

STREET CLEANER

Dear One,
You often forget that your Holy Spirit led prayers enable Me to walk ahead of where you will eventually walk because I will go before you to prepare a perfect way for you to proceed.
Because of your permission given to Me by your prayers I have cleared the way of debris and entrapments and I have straightened the paths so that you will have success in everything you attempt to do.
I told you about the narrow way that leads to the abundant life. My Holy Spirit's prayers in your behalf provide that narrow way for you. Walk in it, free from conflict, anger and division with all men, and you will reap the benefits of My blessings. Praying in the Spirit and walking in My Love is the key.
Love, God

PEOPLE ARE NOT GODS

Dear One,
Letting go of things and letting go of people is the hardest thing a person can do.
Letting go is a big problem because it may seem like you are letting go of a life preserver. Clutching onto things and people may seem like they are your only connection to reality. Things and people may be your only security and without them you feel insecure. That is another way of saying that those things or people are your gods. Whatever gives you security is your life source, and your life source is your god.
I cannot be your life source if you have other life sources. One of the commandments I gave to Moses was that man should have no other gods before Me. I said that knowing that if you cannot let go of things or people that you would actually be clinging to them as your gods. Release them and receive My life source, which will truly sustain you and give you total security.
Don't clutch onto things or people. They have no eternal salvation for you.
Love, God

PROCRASTINATION BRINGS FAILURE

Dear One,
The object of the spirit of procrastination is to cause you to fail to be diligent so that failure will create the opportunity for fear to enter your mind.
When fear enters your mind then you will be immobilized and you will be tempted toward further procrastination, which brings more failure and fear, which will bring destruction.
Diligence in all matters prevents the ultimate outcome from procrastination which is destruction in your life.
Don't fall for the voice of procrastination which tells you that there will be another day to do an obligation.
Hop up, do the job with joy and you will be sowing seeds for prosperity to flood into your life.

Love, God

FEAR NOT

Dear One,
You must resist every thought of fear. Fear has its own compensation for serving it, those being destruction, devastation, defeat, despair and depression.
Fear will attack your mind with vain imaginations, wrong assumptions, promises of impending doom and defeat or death. Fear never brings good images. It only brings bad images. Those bad images are given so that you will already be defeated in your mind, therefore causing you to believe for the worst scenario. Once you believe for it, then evil can bring it into being because you have agreed with evil and where two or three agree a thing is established. When you agree with fear you are in unity with it.
If you will refuse the fear, then you will refuse to believe the vain imaginations, the negative images of defeat which accompany the fear. When you refuse the fear, you disagree with the images of impending doom and you rob fear of its power. When you have refused to be in unity with fear you do not give it permission to accomplish its intentions in your life, which is defeat.
You must defeat fear rather than allowing it to defeat you.
You must destroy fear rather than allowing it to destroy you.
Images created in your mind by fear are not real, they are based on assumption and presumption. They are illusions. Don't accept them, don't dwell on them or you will give them the power to become real.
Fear is from hell, so it creates hell in your life. It procreates its own environment.
Speak My promises to the fear and it will flee. It hates to hear My promises because it knows that I will carry out My promises to all of My children and bring happiness.
Give fear a taste of his own medicine, tell it that it is a liar. Then declare your independence from it.
Love, God

Atmospheric Changes

Dear One,
You see how quickly things change. Consider how many things have changed just since yesterday. Nothing stays the same because life is always changing.
Seasons change, weather changes, relationships change, situations change, circumstances change, people change. All of those are temporary so they are subject to change.
Also consider how My eternal powers have changed negative things in your life into positive things in answer to prayers. That is why everything earthly must be considered temporary rather than permanent. You should apply prayers by My Holy Spirit to every negative situation and watch for positive results.
To expedite the changes from negative to positive results you should confer with Me relating to the need for changes in your own habits, attitudes or actions which will facilitate changes in situations or people. Remember that a good atmosphere of love, mercy, forgiveness, grace and kindness provides excellent spiritual nourishment for positive results to speedily grow. Sometimes the delay in answers to prayers comes from earth, not heaven. I'll clue you into the need for you to change when you consult Me.
Let's work together to get your prayers answered.
Love, God
II Peter 1:2-8; Galatians 5:22-26
