THE TWINS, LOVE AND FAITH

Dear One,
     Faith is, oh, so important in My family.  Faith is imperative to getting into My family because you must believe that I am and that I genuinely reward those who see Me and choose to be in My family. Faith is spiritual power, so it is very, very important.
     However, I said that if you have faith to move mountains and if you don't have love, you are nothing.  From that statement comes the truth that love is greater than faith.  I even said that faith can come to an end, but love never ends.   Love is elevated to a place of being the greatest.
     My children study and study about faith.  Doctrines are built around the power of faith.  That pleases Me.
     There should be more teachings about love, My love for you first and My love for all humanity,  There should be teachings about your love for Me and your love shown to all humanity.  Love is love.  It doesn't pick and choose. My nature is Love.  Your nature needs to be the same as My Love.
      If you teach love, then all teachings about faith will follow because My children will have trust in Me because of knowing how much I love them.  When love is fully developed in you, then you will not fear Me but you will know that I am your good Father who gives good gifts to My children.  Faith in Me is built on the foundation of love, first of all.
      There is more power in love than there is in faith.  It is from My love that all faith derives its power.
      Everything can pass away, but love endures forever.
     Love, God

YOUR LAWYER

Dear One,
     The fastest way to claim a family inheritance is to take the advice of your lawyer, your advocate.
     The fastest way to claim your spiritual inheritance is to take the advice of your spiritual Advocate, My Holy Spirit.
      An earthly lawyer represents you in the probation of a will.
      Your spiritual advocate represents you in the probation of My will which Jesus instituted when he died.  My Holy Spirit sets it out in My Instruction Manual, called the New Testament of the Bible.
       The first thing He instructed that you do is pray in the Spirit because those prayers are powerful prayers.  My perfect will is being spoken into the universe just exactly like My words that I spoke when I created the earth were spoken into the universe and the earth and all its amenities were created.  I never stopped creating.  I continue creating through your mouth when you pray in My Spirit, creating the answers to our prayers.
        Your advocate, My Holy Spirit, also teaches about love and that if you don't have love you are a clanging cymbal.  Loving Me and loving others go hand in hand with praying in My Spirit.  We have talked about opening the avenues from heaven to earth upon which I answer your prayers, clearing the paths for all of your inheritance to travel right to you. 
         With My nature inside of you, love should be your first priority in your thoughts, attitudes and actions.  It's My first priority and it should be yours, too.
        There is no right or wrong on which to base love.  Love does not insist on its own way.
        Outgrowths of love are forgiveness, mercy, kindness, goodness and patience.  Being nonjudgmental is also contained in My instructions to you as a prerequisite to your receiving your inheritance.
      I made it really very simple in My will and testament for you.   Simple, but difficult to do for you if you continue to walk in the flesh rather than walking in My Spirit.
     My job is more difficult.  Your job is to love, be nonjudgmental, be merciful, joyful and have faith.  I even gave you My Spirit whose attributes are love, joy, peace, goodness, kindness, faith, patience and self control.  Just let Him teach you and guide you.  Then walking in love and praying in My Spirit will usher in your inheritance.
     Love, God

YOUNG IN SPIRIT

Dear One,
     To be forever young is the dream and desire of most people.  When you are in the company of young children or teenagers and when you emotionally mirror their enthusiasm, you are whatever age they presently are, either 2, 6, 10, 12 or 17.  Societal inhibitions leave and you can laugh and giggle and enjoy being young again.
      Age definitely is a state of mind.  It has nothing to do with calendar age.  That means it's in direct relation to your thoughts and attitudes.  The less you think about the ills of your body and the woes of your mind, the more you will enjoy childlikeness. 
     When you begin to think only on things that are happy, true, just, lovely, good, kind, gentle and of a good report,  if there be anything to praise you will think like a child, trusting in Me and My heavenly forces to bring good things into your life. 
     Children trust their parents to provide for them, protect them, avenge them, stand up for them, guide them and keep them from evil.  You must keep that same vein of thought in your mind, that I am doing everything that can be done to ensure an abundant life for you.
      I said that you must come to Me like a child, with that kind of trust.  Those thoughts will produce a clear road upon which My multitude of blessings can be delivered into your life.
      Childlike enthusiasm is the key.  It begins to show on your face, it begins to renew your body and it begins to restore your mind like it was when you first met Me, reaching out to Me in joy.
      Physical, mental and spiritual age are in direct proportion to your joyful thoughts and attitudes.  Children love life and are always waiting for the next gift from their parents.  Do likewise, love life, be thankful and eagerly await My gifts and blessings.
      Love, God

YOUR DADDY

Dear One,
     My children should reflect the song, "My heart belongs to Daddy." 
     I asked My children to love me with all their whole hearts, souls and minds.
     I do not desire that you love me compketely for my sake.  I am not a self centered, egocentric father. I asked you to love me completely for your sake, knowing that when you are centered and established in Me that you will follow My bidding and the results will be that you are blessed during your life in the earth.  All of My requests to My children are made in an effort to facilitate your reception of My blessings.
     Can you see that when your heart totally belongs to Me as your savior, your redeemer, your glory, the lifter of your head, your healer, your protector, your liberator, your provider, your shepherd, your peace and your love, then your heart will truly belong to Me and you will seek Me with your whole heart.  Then you will intimately know Me like I know you.  You won't depend on somebody's relationship with Me for your insight into My flove and My amily ways.
    I am eager to give to you My entire kingdom.  To facilitate that, you need to turn from any selfish, confused, whining, demanding and griping ways, come humbly to Me as your loving PaPa, and I will heal you and your land, like I promised.  You must leave behind the pigpen and its destructive ways which are steeped in self centeredness and know-it-all attitudes.  Then come to Me for the keys to the doors of My storage house. Come to My palace and move in with Me where there are all the comforts that you desire.  You can live there while you are still in the flesh.  It starts with having your whole heart belong to me, your Heavenly Daddy.
     Love, God

DEFUSE STRIFE

Dear One,
     Remember that you only know one side of every story.  That is why judging others is so dangerous to you, you are joining with one person against another person without knowing what the motivation is or was behind the actions of the seemingly offending party.  That person might not be the offending party, after all.  It might be the person whose story you have heard.  The danger is that your judging will return to you as judgment from others.  It's the seed sowing that is dangerous to you.
    When you listen to one person speak condescendingly or with ranting, railing or raving or judgment about someone else, program yourself to consider the other side of the matter, knowing that the position of the other party might be just as viable as the one to which you are listening.   They might both be right from their perspective or they might both be wrong in the matter.  It's not up to you to make that judgment.  The minute you take sides you have entered into judgment of the other side.
     Lending a listening ear does not mean that you need to make a judgment for or against either party.  The person to whom you are listening might have an agenda in mind, which might be getting some reinforcements for his or her side in order to feel better.  When you involve yourself emotionally, you become a participant in the strife and can inherit the evil work that the strife-filled situation has already attracted.
     Immediately begin to pray for the situation and everyone involved, forgiving them because they truly don't know that they are sirring up evil spirits to minister curses to everyone involved. 
     Encourage forgiveness to the tale bearer in relation to the offending party.  That should put an end to the situation as far as you are concerned.  Then begin to bless the people on both sides of the situation.   That should put an end to your involvement.
     Be sure you don't participate in the strife by participating in the emotional situation and judging either party of being wrong.
     Avoid emotionally charged situations as much as you can.  Pray for everyone involved.
     Love, God

STOKE THE FIRES

Dear One,
     I want the light in you to burn brighter every day.  I desire that it never diminishes so that others will see it and begin to glorify Me.
     The light in you comes from the fire of the Holy Spirit burning inside of you just like Ezekiel saw when he peered into the heavens and saw the angels with My life glowing inside of them.  The light in you is from the power that is resident inside all of My children. The glow is caused by vigor for Me and for My ability to change you and to change your situations and circumstances from bad to good. 
     The fire of My Spirit must be fed and stoked and rekindled so that its power never diminishes one iota.  Its power is the life of your body and the fuel of your soul.  It is what draws all men to you just like it draws all men to Me.  It is life everlasting, life eternal and the only life that is all powerful.
     Continually kindle the fire that is inside of you by feeding it My revelation knowledge, which is truth delivered by My Spirit to your mind, enlightening your soul. Every revelation will make the fire burn brighter, lighting up your world and My world.  
     I am the light of the world and I live in you, making you a light in the world along with all of My children who hunger and thirst after righteousness.  I said you will be filled.  All you have to hunger, thirst, seek, knock and ask.  You will receive. 
     My truths are waiting to be accessed, causing the fires of revelation knowledge  in you to burn brighter and brighter.
     Love, God

OUTWARD APPEARANCES

Dear One,
     Outward appearances can be encouraging or the same appearances can be discouraging, depending upon how you look at them. 
     Outward appearances can look defeating or they can look elating, depending upon your spiritual view of them. 
    Jesus taught His followers about those people who don't have eyes to see or ears to hear what they need to see and hear.  He was speaking about spiritual eyes and ears.  Now you have spiritual eyes and ears since you have My Holy Spirit inside of you to give you encouragement about things that you see with your earthly eyes which might look defeating to someone who has not yet received My Holy Spirit.
    With the eyes of My Holy Spirit you view things from the viewpoint of faith, knowing that discouraging earthly appearances are only temporary and a momentary part of the whole picture.  You know that behind the scenes, in the spiritual dimension, My angels and I are working full time to bring about the answers to your prayers.  When we are working for you and changes are being made, very often outward appearances look bad.  You know that the next hour or the next day or the next week outward appearances will completely change and you will see dramatic answers to your prayers.
     Your thoughts and attitudes during the discouraging times  are often the determining factor that gauges the time of the manifestation of the blessings.  Continuing in faith in Me will exacerbate the entrance of the blessings.  Loss of faith in Me will often delay the entrance of the blessings.
     After all, faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.  Faith is the power that brings blessings into existence in your life.  Faith is power which attracts into your life what I have already prepared for you.
    Faith is easy.  You just have to believe Me.  Abraham believed Me and it was counted to him as righteousness. 
    When you intimately know Me and know that I do not lie, faith is easy.  You simply believe Me.
     Love, God
