CHILDREN OF GOD

Dear One, Peacemakers are blessed because they are called My children. People who sow strife are acting out of their father, the devil. Always check the words and attitudes that come from people and you will know whose words to receive and whose words to reject that come from religious people and political people. If they sow peace, then they are from Me. If they sow anger, strife and destruction, they are acting from temptations of the devil and their own control of people. My children who know My voice know that I always give them advice that will bring peace to situations. I sent My Son, the Prince of Peace, and I sent My Holy Spirit, the Spirit of Peace, into the earth to bring peace on earth. The devil sends his words and his demons into the earth to destroy peace and distribute discord, dissension, turmoil and destruction into the earth. You make the decision every minute of the day whether to choose to project My peace or whether to choose to project discord through thoughts, attitudes and words. Jesus, the Prince of Peace, told My children that if you are angry with anyone that you are in danger of the devil’s judgment because you are sowing seeds into the devil’s garden of judgment. He said that if someone has something against you that you should go to him and be reconciled to him and then you can make your prayers known to Me. I could not be more clear what the problem is when prayers are not answered, that being that your attitudes are not peaceful toward someone. My children should be children of peace if My Spirit of Peace lives inside of them. Isaiah spoke My admonition that you must refrain from pointing the finger in scorn, must refrain from bitter and corrupt speaking and you must loose the bonds of wickedness which clings to you, that you should feed the hungry, share your house with the homeless, that you break every yoke of bondage to evil spirits. He said that those things separate you from receiving My blessings which I have already given to you. All of My blessings come to you when you sow peace in every situation and every circumstance. Do you want peace? Then you should sow peace in every situation. Otherwise you will wallow in strife and wonder why I am not answering your prayers. I have already answered every prayer you pray; but if you have strife-filled attitudes, they will intercept your blessings and throw them on the garbage heap. The key is to bring every judgmental, angry, jealous, envious, hateful, negative thought into subjection to the knowledge of My character, which is to love others as I love you.

I understand the opportunities that you have to engage in strife. I also know the power of My Spirit that you have inside of you to reject the strife thoughts. When you do, then you will walk in My peace and My blessings. Your Peaceful and Loving Father Matthew 5:9 and 21-26; Isaiah 58; Galatians 6:12; II Corinthians 10:4-5.

KINGDOM OF SOLUTIONS

Dear One, My kingdom is the Kingdom of Solutions. The kingdom of the devil is the kingdom of problems. My kingdom is the Kingdom of righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit. I said My Kingdom is in the person of the Holy Spirit. Righteousness, peace and joy come to your spirit when you receive My Holy Spirit. Righteousness, peace and joy come to your flesh when you access My solutions to all of your problems. All solutions to all problems are present in My kingdom because of My wisdom and knowledge relating to solutions for the destructive works of the devil. They are already provided. You only have to access them. Remember that I said that no problem comes your way that is not common to men but when a problem comes I will always provide a way of bearing the problem until the solution is manifested. The forbearance is necessary while I work out the solution in the earth. The solution is already evident in My heaven, but there are plans to be worked out in the earth because I am working with people whose minds need to be changed and circumstances that need to be changed. My Spirit will give you patience while the intricate details are worked out. I will even show you the finished solution before it becomes evident if you will let Me. When you pray in the Spirit you are allowing My solutions to be designed, implemented and finalized in the earth. You are participating with Me in the solution. When you walk in My Spirit, being led by My Spirit, you are providing the love-filled atmosphere in the earth which contributes to the speedy distribution of solutions to your problems. My angels and I only work where there is faith and love in operation. We cannot work where strife and bitterness are present because those are evidence of the presence of demonic influences which block My solutions from entering your troubling situation. I do not cause problems. I do bring solutions into problems when you pray in the Spirit and walk in My Spirit. I have the perfect solution to every problem. It will involve your changing your thoughts and attitudes toward the people who cause the problem. It will involve blessing your enemies instead of cursing them. It will involve apologizing to people for your bitter and corrupt words that you spoke regarding the situation. It will involve showing love instead of hate. When you can do what Jesus told you to do, then the solution to the problem is easily accessed because you are acting out of My Family of righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit. When problems abound, solutions to those problems will abound even more when My children bring Me into the problem through prayers. I said when you ask you will receive if you do not ask amiss. Asking amiss is asking while still promoting strife and bitterness which are evidence of the devil’s kingdom of problems. Make sure your citizenship stays in my Kingdom of Solutions. Your Loving Father Matthew 12:28; Luke 17:20-21; Romans 14:17;I Corinthians 10:13;Romans 5:20;James 4:3

DISCERNING BETWEEN VOICES

Dear One, My children need to learn to discern the voices in their heads of their demonic spiritual enemies. They will tempt you with evil thoughts. Those temptations are not always temptations of the flesh like lust, stealing, killing, robbing, cheating and the like. They can be mental and emotional temptations in the form of thoughts and attitudes. Such thoughts are the temptations to be unmerciful, judgmental, unloving and uncaring. My thoughts and attitudes are referred to in the first teachings of Jesus and are called the Beatitudes, cautioning you to be of My attitudes rather than being of the attitudes of the devil, the father of lies. Jesus said that the merciful people are blessed because they will obtain mercy from others. He said that forgiveness toward everyone results in your inheriting forgiveness from Me. Remember that mercy is for the lawbreaker, the person who is disobeying civil, social or religious laws. My mercy is forever extended to those lawbreakers and your mercy should also be perpetually poured upon them because of My mercy always being poured upon you. Mercy never takes into account a wrong suffered. That is the basis of My mercy. The blood of Jesus cleansed you of all unrighteousness and cleansed all people. Let My mercy in you cleanse the unrighteousness of other people through you. I understand when a person is angry at Me. I understand when a person yields to transgression of the flesh and attitudinal transgressions. I understand when a person yields to the demon of anger, distributing strife into the world. I understand, but I grieve because I know that they are sowing seeds into the devil’s garden and they will eventually reap anger actions toward themselves. My Holy Spirit wrote through Paul that My Spirit is grieved when My children yield to the temptation to let corrupt words come out of their mouths because He knows that they are going to attract corrupt words and corrupt actions because of their bitter, unkind speaking. He said that when My children bite and devour each other that they will be consumed. He said that love does not speak bitter, corrupt words or judge anyone. It forgives and extends mercy. Learn to recognize My voice which spurs you to love others, to be merciful to lawbreakers, to extend compassion toward the suffering, to sow peace with all people, to have a good attitude toward others with resulting kind actions, to be joyful in plenty and in lack, to be patient with people who are motivated by evil, forbearing their evil actions and forgiving immediately because you understand the proclivity of humans to yield to the devil. Judging others exalts you above other people, making you the policeman, the judge and the jury altogether. Mercy releases others from their sins and your judgment of them. Extending mercy to everyone is walking in My Spirit and in doing that you will not fulfill the temptations and lusts of the flesh where satan works. I said My children know My voice. When you love Me and recognize My voice you will take My advice. The rewards are tremendous. Your Merciful and Loving Father II Corinthians 11:20: Ephesians 4:29-30;Galatians 5:15-25.

MRECY PRODUCES REPENTANCE

Dear One, The Psalmist David observed that a good man might fall for temptation seven times but get up again and again, but an evil man who falls will eventually fall and not get up because evil will eventually befall him. My Spirit taught through Paul that My children should not rejoice at a man’s iniquity but to rejoice when the man finds truth. Very often when a man who has fallen for the tricks of the devil by yielding to him and sowing seeds into the devil’s garden of life, My children will rejoice that the person is reaping what he or she has sown. It should not be so. You should not rejoice at a person’s spiritual failure. You have fallen for the tricks of the devil many times, such as having lustful thoughts which Jesus said are the same as committing adultery because of your yielding to the lustful images put in your mind by the devil. Jesus summed it up when He said that a shepherd leaves his 99 pure sheep and pursues the one who is lost. I never rejoice when any of My sheep go astray and become lost in the devil’s destruction. You should be of like mind, having the mind of Christ, being filled with mercy and eager to forgive every sin, trespass, misdeed, mistake, and every thought and act of iniquity. My purpose toward My children is total restoration, not revenge, judgment or destruction. When you see a person who has fallen for any form of temptation to do evil, immediately pray for the repentance of the person, that he or she will turn from the wicked ways and begin to seek My ways and My goodness. Remember that it is My goodness that brings a man to repentance and it is My goodness that makes a person desire to enter into My ways, turning from darkness to My light. So when your enemy falls into bad times because of the seeds that he or she has sown, refrain from rejoicing about his or her misfortune. Forgive the person with the authority to forgive that Jesus gave to you when you were born of My Spirit. After He breathed My Spirit into His disciples He told them that they had the authority to forgive sins. You have the same authority, My Godly privilege of forgiving the sins of everyone. Jesus said whose sins you forgive are forgiven and whose sins you retain are retained. Never retain the sins of anyone lest your sins be retained. Instead of rejoicing when a person commits sins, rejoice when the person discovers the truth that he or she is loved by you and by Me, even during their destructive acts. Extend mercy and pray that the person will reverse directions, turning from his or her destructive ways and turning to Me. My Blessings await the lost sheep, just like the prodigal son whom Jesus used as an example. When you can become merciful to all people who are sowing destructive seeds, you will obtain mercy from everyone in your life. You always have My mercy and My goodness, as promised in Psalms 23, goodness and mercy shall follow you all the days of your life. Extend the same goodness and mercy to others and you will be known as My child. Your Merciful and Loving Father Matthew 9:13; Matthew 18:13; Matthew 5:27-31; Luke 15:1I-32; Corinthians 13:6; Romans 2:4.

MERCY DIFFERENT THAN COMPASSION

MERCY DIFFERENT THAN SYMPATHY Dear One, Compassion, sympathy and empathy are wonderful attitudes, but mercy is better. You ask how is mercy different than compassion, sympathy and empathy. Compassion, sympathy and empathy are heartfelt emotions toward someone who has been injured physically, emotionally, mentally or spiritually. You are moved into one of those attitudes when you hear about, see or read about something that hurts another person. Mercy goes further. Mercy goes beyond those human emotions of heartfelt compassion and delivers forgiveness to a person who has injured you or a person who has broken civil or religious laws. Because of that forgiveness for the person, looking beyond the fleshy sins and seeing the spirit of the person, the real person, mercy delivers compassion for the lawbreaker even though he or she may not deserve it because of his or her obvious guilt. Mercy comes from Me and is always forgiving. Mercy blots out trespasses, sins, iniquities, misdeeds and mistakes and immediately restores the lawbreaker to favor and goodness because mercy is not affected by actions, only by the value that I give to My creations. In other words, mercy is nonjudgmental, never being a judge and jury which determines the guilt of another person. Mercy blots out the trespass and never refers to it because it has been erased . Be of the attitude of mercy because it reflects My mercy toward you, Your Merciful and Loving Father, Matthew 5:7; Exodus 25:21-22; Matthew 9:13; I Timothy 1;15-16.

UNDESERVED MERCY

Dear One, My children ask what they can do to deserve My mercy. Nothing. My mercy is unconditional My children ask what they can do to warrant My love. Nothing. My love is unconditional. My children ask what they can do to deserve My goodness and kindness and so they work and work tirelessly in order to access them. Nothing you can do deserves My goodness and kindness. It is My pleasure to give blessings to My children. My children ask what they can do to ACCESS the blessings that come from My goodness and kindness, though completely undeserved. Ah, there are keys to accessing My blessings and Jesus taught about those keys at the first teaching session He had with people. He taught them to be merciful toward others, to forgive others for wrongs done, to give to the poor, to love others as I love you, to turn the other cheek when struck, to never return evil for evil but always return good for evil, to seek Me instead of worldly goods, to keep your thoughts free from lust for anything, to refuse to yield to anger, to make friends with anyone who accuses you, to give to anyone who requires your earthly goods, to give to anyone who asks for a loan without requiring payback, to give to others in secret, to pray in secret, to cease from worrying, to give mercy instead of judgment. When you are able to do those things by the power of My Holy Spirit, then you are identified by My heavenly hosts as being My child, a legal recipient of My inheritance to you because you bear My name in actions instead of in name only. You don’t deserve My merciful blessings because of your actions. Blessings are already yours. But your actions do identify you as My child, restored to My image by My Spirit who lives inside of you. Your light which shines before men also shines in the heavenly dimension around you, identifying you as the recipients of My blessings. When Jesus spoke of those who will not inherit My kingdom while in the earth, He was talking about those people who call themselves by My name but who act from the kingdom of darkness. The light that emanates from them is darkness and so the angels who deliver My blessings say, “Oh, wrong address. These blessings go to God‘s children of light.” My mercy and love is always poured out toward you, never ending. Your light which comes from knowing Me and becoming My loving image in the world is what identifies you as the beneficiary of My blessings, which are My inheritance to you. My Son did not talk just to hear Himself proclaim My words. He gave instructions on how to access My kingdom. He said that My Spirit would amplify His teachings and convince My children of My love, My mercy, My goodness and kindness toward them. He is in charge of teaching My children how to access the blessings that come from being My loved children, and it’s not by reflecting the fruit of evil. It is by being My children of light in a dark world. Your Merciful and Loving Father Matthew 5, 6 and 7; Matthew 8:22-24; Luke 12:31-32; Luke 11:35-36.

SHOES MADE FOR WALKING

Dear One, You have heard it said that you should not judge a person until you have walked in the person’s shoes for many days. If you were to walk in his or her shoes, you would have mercy instead of judgment because you would have the same temptations and actions. Because My life is in all of My creation, I do walk in the shoes of every person in the earth. I know their desires, their thoughts, their experiences, their generational curses and their need to be loved. My mercy is the result of My love and My knowing the life struggles and battles against evil. I know everyone and I love them unconditionally. I can help you to have the same mind which was in Christ Jesus. I can help you have pity, compassion and mercy for everyone who is downtrodden and in need of My help and your help. I can help you to put your own selfish beliefs that cause you to judge others as being good and evil and I can give you My mercy for everyone. I said that no one can know the thoughts of a person except the spirit that is in that person. I know the thoughts and hearts of every person. So when you have My Holy Spirit inside of you, I can give you the mercy to forgive those who wrong you, give compassion and mercy for the lawbreakers, the rebellious, the stubborn and the wayward. I can give you the same mind that was in Christ Jesus who only saw the suffering of humans, not the fleshly disobedience to religious laws. The prophets of old prophesied the attitudes of Jesus Christ even before He came to earth. They said that He would be a light to unbelievers, that He would give sight to the blind, bring prisoners out of prison, and bring those who sit in spiritual and emotional darkness out of their mental prisons, plus forgive the sins of everyone, making their sins white as snow, destroying the works of the devil and demonstrating My love to everyone. When Jesus came to earth, He fulfilled all of those promises and demonstrated My love to the world. He revealed My true personality and it was not the personality that the rigid religious leaders of old had spoken. The mind that was in Christ Jesus was My mind because He said that He did nothing of His own will, but He only did My will, speaking My words and doing My deeds. My mercy asks of you the same attitudes which were in Christ Jesus, ones of humility, obedience, mercy, compassion, empathy and unconditional love. But, My Instruction Book to you says, “LET this mind be in you which was in Christ Jesus.” It is still an act of your own will to LET My thoughts be your thoughts, LET your words be My words, LET your actions be My actions. You are not a robot with the mechanism in My hand. I gave you free will so I said to LET My mind influence you, transform you and give you My mercy for others. Jesus met all the needs of My children. Let the same mind be in you, erasing all the sins of people by forgiving them, loving them as I love you, healing the sick, giving sight to the blind and bearing the emotional burdens of others with words of encouragement and My guidance. Your Merciful, Loving Father Mark 4:17-19; John 5:30-36; John 5:19-20; John 14:23-26; John 13:34.
