FAITH WORKS BY LOVE

Dear One, Attitudes create spiritual atmospheres. Attitudes project energy which can either be beneficial energy or detrimental energy, either good or bad, which affects the outcome of your prayers. Your attitudes of love produce positive energy which add atomic power boosts to your faith because faith works by love. Love is the spiritual atmosphere in which your faith flourishes and produces the answer to all of your prayers. Faith works by love. My Holy Spirit said through Paul that even if you have faith to move mountains and don’t have love you are nothing and will have nothing. My Spirit said that you can have all the knowledge available to people but if you don’t have love, you are nothing. He said that you can speak with tongues of men and angels, but if you don’t have love you are like a clanging cymbal. He said you can give away everything you have or give your body to be burned for a religious or political cause, but if you don’t have love you gain nothing. In other words, your faith is powerless without love. Faith works by love. I Corinthians 13 Disgust, hatred, anger, rants and raves, dissension, discord and strife toward others suck the spiritual power out of your faith. That is one reason why the prayers of My children don’t seem to be answered. It’s not that I haven’t answered your prayers, it’s that your negative and divisive attitudes have deflated the power of faith to where it is nothing. Faith only works by love. Romans 12:10 My Spirit has taught My children that love is greater than faith. I said that faith, hope and love will abide forever but the greatest is love. Love is My character and personality. I am Love. Nowhere in My Instruction Book do I profess to be faith. Nowhere do I profess to be hope. I have faith in the works of My Spirit, but I don’t only HAVE love; because I AM Love. Love emanates from Me because it is My being, My character. Because of My love for My creation, the result was sending My Son to redeem it. That could only happen because I am Love. You can become Love also when My love for you is revealed to you by My Holy Spirit. He will remove the veil from your mind which was placed there by the religious demons who have taught that I judge, condemn and punish My children. My Spirit will reveal to you that love conquers everything. Love is what makes the lion lay down with the lamb. Love is what makes My children love the unlovely. Love is what makes My children understand the plights of the unloved, the unhealthy, the unclothed, the homeless, the starving, the demon possessed, the robber, the killer and the abusers. Love is what makes My children look beyond the flesh of others and see their spirits, just like I do. When you understand that faith works by the power and attitudes of love that you emit, then nothing is impossible and all things will work together for your good. Yes, even what looks to you like evil circumstances; I can make them work together for your good when faith in you works by your loving everyone as I love you. Romans 8:28. Your Loving, Faithful Father - Ephesians 6:23; Galatians 5:5-6; I John 4:18-21; I Peter 1:21-22.

GOD'S GRACE AND YOUR GRACE

Dear One, My grace is sufficient. You don’t need to do anything to gain My favor. It is unmerited. My grace is dispensed from My heart to all of My children because of My love for all of My creation. That is why Jesus died for the whole world, because of My love for all of My creation. I said from the beginning that everything I created is good. I adored the products of My creative ability from the beginning and My adoration never stopped, even though the children who were created in My image allowed and still allow evil spirits to invade My creation and curse it. My favor never stops because My grace, My unmerited favor, is sufficient. It is unnecessary to do anything that will gain My favor because of My grace, My unmerited favor toward all of My creation. You cannot work enough to gain My favor. It is free. You cannot learn enough to gain My favor. It is free. You cannot save enough souls to gain My favor. It is free. You cannot sacrifice enough to gain My favor. It is free. Everything is freely given to you because of My grace, My unmerited favor. (II Corinthians 12:9) There are beings of whom you can merit their favor. They are other people. Favor always follows wisdom. If you will read about Solomon, My wisdom in him caused kings and priests to bring riches to him to leave at his feet just to hear his wisdom which came as a gift from Me. In your world people don’t leave riches at your feet, but they will love you, embrace you and favor you because of My wisdom which is freely given by Me to you and which you must access to cause you to be successful in your spiritual and earthly life. (I Kings 4:34; I Kings 10:4-13) My wisdom, which is free for you to receive, will also attract My angelic hosts to bring My blessings into your life. The foolishness of men has neither gained the respect and favor of other humans nor of My angelic hosts. My angels are programmed to bring My blessings to those of My children who have accessed My wisdom and knowledge, which are free and abundant in quantity. My wisdom which is a gift from My Holy Spirit is always available. It solves all problems. It gives insight into the reason for your problems. It reveals to you My love, My grace, My goodness, My personality and My graciousness toward you. (James 1:5-8) My nuggets of wisdom which you access are portions of My thoughts and mental exercises relating to everything in your life. My wisdom makes you an overcomer instead of a victim. It makes you the head and not the tail. It causes you to bear the identification of being My child which is paramount to the angelic forces bringing My blessings to you. Wisdom comes from an intimate relationship with Me which was made possible by the sacrifice of Jesus and My promise from the beginning of time when I promised that the relationship between My children and Me would be completely restored. That promise is fulfilled when My children accept My Holy Spirit into their lives. Jesus said My Spirit dispenses Truth, truth being wisdom. John:16:13. My grace which is my unmerited favor cannot be earned. It is a gift. Make your favor toward others free. Your Loving and Gracious Father- II Corinthians 9:8.

PEACE ON EARTH

Dear One,
    LET there be peace on earth.  There again is that little word which means so much, LET. Remember that we talked about that before, that the word LET means that as an act of your will you will allow something. 
    Until the crucifixion of Jesus and the entry into the world of My Holy Spirit, there was no power available for there to be peace on earth between individuals, between family members, between acquaintance, between strangers, between diverse nationalities and between countries. When My Holy Spirit became available to be received by My children is when there became the possibility for there to be peace on earth. 
     The acceptance of Jesus and His payment for sins was and is still necessary to purify vessels, the spirits of people,  before My Holy Spirit can move into those purified vessels and take up residence, bringing My peace with Him, also My love, My goodness, My kindness, My mercy, My faith, My joy and My patience. With My power that is resident in My Spirit inside of you, it is possible for you to LET there be peace in the small portion of your world.  Then peace in my children can begin to incorporate others in the ministry of peace, engulfing them in My love and My mercy, which are at the basis of all peace. 
     So LETTING there be peace in your small portion of the earth is what you are called to do as My child.  All of My prophets and writers after the New Covenant of Love was instituted have spoken about peace and that My children must strife to keep peace with everyone.  The precursor to keeping peace with everyone is your keeping peace within your own thoughts and attitudes.  My Spirit of Peace is resident inside of you to give you peace with Me and He will give you the power to minister peace to everyone.  That can only happen when you are walking in the revelation of My love for you and for all of mankind. Then keeping peace is easy because you have faith that keeping peace will cause your prayers to be answered because you will be identified as My child to all spiritual beings in heaven and to all people in the earth.
   You don’t need to be in complete agreement religiously or politically with others to keep peace.  All you have to do is recognize their rights to believe what they have been taught to believe; in other words, their free will which I gave to you and all of humanity.  So keeping peace does not mean complete unity of beliefs.  It means that you grant free will to them just like I do.  You respect their right to have their own opinions. You can have harmony with them if you LET them have their own beliefs and opinions and respect their right to have them.  There can be harmony in that atmosphere.  Remember that I told you that you can be a C on the musical scale when someone is a G.  BUT if someone is an F# you can become an A# in order to harmonize with the person.  Finding areas of agreement are what it means to LET there be peace on earth. 
    Make it your mission to LET there be peace in your portion of the earth by sowing peace seeds as My child.  
    Your Loving, Peaceful Father - Psalm 37:1; Luke 2:14; Matthew 5:9; Colossians 1:19-20; Romans 12:18-19; Hebrews 12; 14-15.               

 

PRACTICE PEACE

Dear One,
    I have asked My children for generations to keep peace with everyone.  Is it possible?  Yes, but only in the power of My Holy Spirit.  My Spirit keeps peace with everyone in a spirit of forgiveness.  Only by operating in the same spirit of forgiveness can a person keep peace with everyone.  And only having the wisdom and knowledge that Jesus died for the sins of the whole world can a person operate in a spirit of forgiveness in order to keep peace.   He didn’t die only for the people in your church, your family, your state, your country, your nationality, your government, your political party, your prayer group or your social acquaintances.  He died for the sins of the whole world so that there would be peace on earth. I John 2:1-3.
     There is a method, a key to keeping peace with everyone.  Jesus taught you that there are keys to My kingdom and He said that you must learn them.  The first key to keeping peace is to keep peace with everyone in your thoughts.  When thoughts of judgment, condemnation, dissension and discord enter into your mind, right there is where you must stop those thoughts, recognize them as what they are, temptations to become unmerciful to someone.  Cast those thoughts out and replace them with merciful thoughts, peaceful thoughts and forgiving thoughts for the person.  Your forgiveness erases all spiritual punishment and calls for My kingdom to enter into their lives. Practice sowing peace. John 20:21-23.
    The Holy Spirit said that you should cast down EVERY thought and imagination that exalts itself against My knowledge and revelation of what Christ did for that person on the cross. He said to bring EVERY thought into the obedience of Christ.  EVERY thought means EVERY thought that is not a thought of love, grace and forgiveness.  My Holy Spirit said that all wars happen because of your passions, your attitudes which have grown from judgmental thoughts into attitudes of discord and disharmony. 
     If you want peace in your life, take this key and use it by being a watchman who catches EVERY thought which is not a thought of love and grace toward others.  The evil thoughts are planted in your garden of life so that you will 
lose your peace and become in conflict with others.  When one area of conflict takes over your mind, it takes over your soul also and your attitudes will produce disharmony in your body and mind.  People are sick and dying because they yielded to the temptation of the evil one to judge others instead of forgiving them and praying for them.  It all starts with thoughts.  Then thoughts become attitudes.  Attitudes have passionate power behind them either for good or evil.  The energy behind evil attitudes are the cause of all disharmony in families, in relationships and in your world.  Jesus often taught about those harmful attitudes. 
    People who bring peace are called My children.  People who sow discord in the earth are called the children of the evil one. It all starts with thoughts. Arrest negative thoughts, cast them out and replace them with forgiving, loving thoughts, restoring the judged person in the spirit of grace.  Then your life will become peaceful with good actions.

JOYFUL INCUBATION

Dear One,
   I compare waiting for the glorious answer to your prayers to the incubation period before the birth of a child.  During the time that the child is forming into a perfect being, rejoicing is experienced by the parents because they know without a doubt that there will be a child born. 
   My children need to take that example to heart, that the waiting period from conception to birth must be met with joyful exultation, faithful expectation and assurance that the incubation period will produce the promise. 
   When a fetus is born prematurely, there are complications relating to physical and mental development.
Carrying a fetus to full term produces a child who will be complete, having been perfectly formed in the womb. 
   The same thing relates to waiting for the answers to prayers.  Because of impatience, if you want a malformed answer to your prayers, then you will either demand My 100% attention to your problem or you will take the matter into your own hands and the results will be an under developed answer, one which was jerked out of My hands and the hands of My angels, birthed prematurely, one with which you will struggle forever. Take My advice and rejoice during the incubation period, trusting that the matter already has My complete attention, knowing that My loyalty to all of My children is forever 100%.
    The emotional struggle which comes from waiting is what causes My children to become impatient and either have a spiritual tantrum, losing faith, and jerking the matter away from Me in an effort to put their own weak orchestrations to work which produce malformed answers.
   Choosing to rejoice instead of doubting, choosing to speak the things that are not yet evident as though they were already perfected by My power are valuable ways to think and act in the incubation period.  I gave My children that admonition for their benefit, not for Mine.  I gave those actions as ways for you to defeat the works of the devil who uses your thoughts, emotions and actions against you. They are ways to choose between good and evil.
    Lack of knowledge is at the basis of impatience in waiting for answers to your prayers.  My children who believe that I am sovereign, with the power to go hocus-pocus and things in their lives are changed in answer to your demands, those people do not know Me and My plan for the earth.  Yes, I could immediately throw the devil out of a situation and perfect everything concerning you if I had not given the earth to humans in the beginning, so I have to spiritually work within their wills (choices) and their power and authority. I have to change thoughts, attitudes and actions of people, have to change situations, have to change circumstances so that they are in line with My will in the matter.  It takes time in the earth for Me to accomplish those feats, but I will -- yes, I said I will -- work in your behalf to birth a perfect answer every time.  Work with Me, not against Me.
    Please take My advice, rejoicing during the incubation time, proclaiming My abilities and powers to produce the answers to your prayers, and praying in the Spirit which allows Me to get My saving actions more quickly into the matter.  Wait patiently for a perfect answer, not a malformed one.
  Your Loving Father-

II Thessalonians 1:4-5; Hebrews 6:12        

NOT GUILTY

Dear One,
   I want My children to practice saying what I say, “Not guilty,” when someone has yielded to temptation to make a mistake, a misdeed, a sin, a trespass, an iniquity or an assault. Only the innocent can pronounce another person as being not guilty.
   You have been deemed not guilty because of Jesus Christ and His death, resurrection, ascension and His declaration of His payment for the sins of the whole world.
    Since you have been pronounced not guilty, you have the righteous authority to pronounce others not guilty as far as My family is concerned and the courts of the heavens are concerned.  There are civil courts whose laws demand their own jurisdiction on the flesh of law breakers, and they will prevail over the public law breakers; but as far as I am concerned, and as far as you are concerned, deeming them not guilty spiritually is your honor and privilege.
     Pronouncing a person not guilty restores him or her to the benefits and blessings of My family.  It also restores you, as an emotional participant in the offense, to My full blessings because you have released the person and yourself from the punishment that is required by the tempter of the sins, the devil.  The devil’s punishment is destructive either spiritually, mentally, emotionally  or physically.  When you forgive others, the offense never happened as far as I am concerned and you are concerned. Everyone involved becomes white as snow.
   Jesus gave His disciples the authority and power to forgive sins or to retain sins.  Since My pleasure is to forgive all sins, it should be your pleasure to forgive them also.  Jesus said that when a demon is cast out of a person that My kingdom comes upon that person.  Likewise, when you forgive an offense, My kingdom with all of its benefits comes upon the person and yourself.
    Make it your thought process that it is your good pleasure to forgive the sins and offenses of others.  Jesus said when you do forgive others that your sins are forgiven also.  That happens because to forgive means to release and when you release a person from the punishment of the offense you also release yourself if you have held the offense against the person.  That is based upon the principle that what you bind on earth is bound in heaven and what you loose on earth is loosed in heaven.  If you refuse to forgive a person, then you are bound to the person and bound to the devil’s punishment of the person.  When you forgive the person, you release the person and release yourself from the evil punishment. 
   Proclaiming everyone not guilty in your eyes releases them from the devil’s process of exacting punishment and it releases you from the same demonic process.
   It is My good pleasure to give My kingdom to all of My creation.  Make it your good pleasure to give My kingdom to all of creation by forgiving every infraction of any civil or spiritual laws.  When you can do that, you are free, completely free.  Whom the Son sets free is free indeed.  You are My child, too, and you can set others free.
     Your Forgiving and Loving Father -            John 10:22-23; John 3:16-17; Matthew 6:12; Matthew 12;28; Luke 12:32; Matthew 16:19-20; I John 2:1-3; Philippians 2:13.
      

ASK, WAIT PATIENTLY AND RECEIVE

Dear One,
   ASK in faith, never wavering.
   PRAY in the Spirit, in season and out of season, whether or not you have a great need.
   SPEAK your confidence in Me with no doubt, no fretting, no worrying, no negativity of any kind.
   SEEK My wisdom, without wavering, refusing to be double minded.
   REJOICE that the answer to your needs, wants and desires are on the way, praising Me for working in your behalf.
   PATIENTLY wait for the answer to your prayers to be manifested in the earth, continuing to pray, speaking your confidence, seeking and receiving My wisdom and rejoicing at all times.
   When you ASK in faith, you receive.  The speed with which it is received by you depends upon your attitudes.
   When you PRAY constantly in My Spirit, whether or not there is a need, I will cover any approaching need before it is evident to you.
    When you SPEAK your trust in Me you are telling the spiritual beings in the heavens that you are trusting Me for the perfect answer to your prayers, plus you are telling other people that I am your source and hope.
     When you REJOICE you are projecting deafening sounds into the ears of the demonic spirits behind any problem and they retreat because they can’t endure words that celebrate confidence and love for Me.
     When you are PATIENT, you know that it takes time to bring the perfect solutions to every problem into the earth because My angels and I are having to change people, change circumstances and change the situation that created the problem.  There will a perfect outcome, but the emotional suffering that accompanies the waiting period can be erased by your ability to glean wisdom from Me.  Through My wisdom I will show you things to come, will reveal to you the changes that you need to make in order to speed up the perfect answer to your prayers. 
   Faith without spiritual works is dead.  Often the answer to your prayers is blocked by your refusing to forgive a person who wronged you, or your refusing to love the person unconditionally, or your having ill feelings against the person, or your sowing strife into the earth by talking about someone.  All of those are blockages set up by your demonically influenced emotions which close the spiritual highways upon which answers to prayers are transported. 
    I will alert you to the necessary emotional changes that need to be made in you and the person who wronged you. The key to My ability to change the person is your willingness to change your own thoughts, emotions and actions toward the person or persons. When you pray for the person and do good to the person who wronged you, you open the highway for the delivery of the answer to your prayers to be made.  It comes from My love for you.
    ASK, PRAY, SPEAK, SEEK, get WISDOM, REJOICE AND BE PATIENT.  Then you will be amazed.
    Your Loving Father  Luke 11:7-10; Romans 8:25-28; Ephesians 4:29-30; James 1:4-7; Romans 12:11-13; Romans 12:12-21.
