Dear One,
Energy is power and power is energy. The power to operate energy plants comes from the burning of some type of fuel, usually coal. Energy is created as a result of the burning of fuel. That energy can light homes, businesses and plants, warm and cool homes, provide energy to run the machinery to create products which enhance your life, and also run the machinery which enhance your recreational activities. Energy and power can be good but it can also be bad for humanity.
A glitch in the energy created to light homes can cause fires which destroy homes, businesses and machinery rather than enhancing the lives of people. The wrong use of energy or power by humans can electrocute them, burning them to a crisp. That is caused by a human being's wrong use of energy which was originally given to enhance their lives. Instead it can destroy life.
Apply the same principles to the keys to My kingdom of thoughts, attitudes, words and actions. I give you good thoughts which create attitudes which produce emotions or power to bless others, blessing them with My love, blessing them with My forgiveness, blessing them with My mercy, blessing them with My kindness and goodness, blessing them with My peace and calmness, blessing them with My grace and blessing them with My joy.
There are often glitches from hell which enter into your mind causing you to think hatred instead of love, division instead of unity, enmity instead of peace, judgment instead of mercy, turmoil instead of peace and calmness. Those thoughts, if dwelt upon, will produce power or energy to kill rather than to bring life. They will curse others and yourself instead of blessing others which will result in your being blessed. In those instances of negative, injurious thoughts, the seeds of destruction take root and produce the energy to relay to another person his or her lack of value, beating the person down with an attitude of being worthless.
That is why Jesus taught so forcefully about thoughts and attitudes. He said if a person has lust in his heart, or his thoughts, then he or she has already committed adultery. That should give you a picture of the power of thoughts.
Jesus said that you have heard that you should not kill, but He said if you are angry with someone you are in danger of judgment. He was telling you about the power of your thoughts, that evil thoughts, when dwelt upon, can bring the judgment of hell upon you. Relate that same truth to the energy or power from the power plant which is used wrongly and injures people and yourself.
I do not judge you because of bad thoughts, but the originator of the bad thoughts, the devil, will bring judgment upon you. That is why he tempts you, so that he can bring judgment upon you, the judgment of destruction.
I only give good, healthy, clean, pure, truthful, honest, just, lovely, positive, virtuous thoughts. I told you in the Bible to think on those things. The rest of them, the negative thoughts, you must reject. I told you to resist the devil and he will flee from you.
If you want to live a peaceful life, only entertain My thoughts and develop My attitudes which bless others, and speak only My words which bring grace to the hearer. Then you will live a peaceful life, full of love and joy.
There is a constant battle for your mind. The evil one puts evil, strife filled thoughts into your mind. I put gracious, kind, loving thoughts into your mind. The choice is yours.
I said that the devil's gate is wide that leads to destruction, but there is a narrow gate which leads to the abundant life and it is often hard. I didn't make it hard. Your enemy makes it hard. You often contribute to the hardness when you choose to embrace the thoughts and attitudes of your enemy.
I gave you the power and ability to stand up to the evil one, rejecting his thoughts. That power and ability is My Holy Spirit. He has the energy and the power to defeat the works of the devil. If you will defeat the devil in the realm of temptations in thoughts, you will find that the way to My abundant life is easy.
Choose life-giving thoughts and live the abundant life.
Your Loving Father

THE CONTRITE HEART
Dear One,
Don't forget that attitudes are energy because attitudes produce emotions which either come from heaven or from hell. They either bless or they curse others, and in return you are either blessed or cursed. It's a matter of either sowing seeds into the garden of heaven or sowing seeds into the garden of hell.
Your brother Jesus was explicit about this key to My kingdom.
He said to have good attitudes of blessings toward those who curse you and to do good to those who spitefully use you. He said if you sow to the evil kingdom you will receive in return from the kingdom of evil. The devil returns your own plants from the seeds you sow in his garden. Jesus taught My children that they must sow seeds into My kingdom of love and they will receive good things in return because only good things can grow in My family. My seeds are emotions of love, joy, peace, mercy, goodness, kindness, patience and faithfulness. When you sow those seeds from My family, you will reap events in your life which are filled with love, joy, peace, mercy, goodness, kindness, patience and faithfulness. Corrupt plants cannot grow in My garden. Spiritual, mental, emotional and financially prosperous plants cannot grow in the garden of evil. They only grow in My garden. Isaiah knew this key and he taught it and wrote it so that you will know what might be blocking the answer to your prayers. The emotions that come from Me will not block your inheritance of having the abundant life. My emotions will speed their entrance into your life. The only things that can block the answers to your prayer are the things that you might think are rudimentary parts of life. They are very important because they are from evil beginnings. Isaiah said that people must check on their attitudes to see the circumstances of their fasts, that people put on sackcloth and ashes, that they temporarily humble themselves outwardly but not inwardly. They seem to seek Me daily and seem to delight in My ways outwardly. Yet their prayers are not answered. I told Isaiah said the fasts that I choose are to fast strife and debate and smiting with wickedness. I said to loose the bonds of wickedness in yourself, to undo the yoke of generational curses, to let the oppressed go free from their bonds and to break every yoke of bitterness. I said to feed the hungry, to cover the naked, to not hide yourself from your own flesh and blood in their time of need. I said to take away from yourself the yokes of oppression, to stop pointing your finger in scorn toward the oppressed and ungodly, and to take away from yourself every form of false, harsh, unjust and wicked speaking. I said that you should stop seeking your own ways instead of My ways and to stop speaking idle, negative, nonproductive words. I promised that when you do such things as those, which are to be led and walk in My love, that I will make you to ride on high places of the earth and make you to eat of My entire inheritance. Jesus told you to love others just as I love you. Fasting the negative attitudes and actions of which I told Isaiah to speak are acts of love because you are denying the temptations to sow evil seeds into the garden of evil. Instead, sow seeds into My garden and ride with Me on the high places of the earth rather than being smothered by the lower elements of your own enemy. My Instruction Book covers everything. It is My Book of Life. My Holy Spirit will bring to your mind the fasts that you need to fulfill in order to fully receive your blessings of love. I want you to have everything that I promised My children. Your seed sowing is important because you are My child and you must sow to My family in order to inherit My blessings. Your Loving Father Isaiah 58 and 59; John 13:34-35; II John 1:5; Luke 12:32; Psalm 34:18-19.

PEST CONTROL - Dear One - April 18, 2014
Dear One,
At the first sign of spring, when you neglect to put down ant killer around your house or neglect to spray an ant barrier, all of a sudden you see little ants invading your house, plus little and big ants appearing everywhere, in flower beds, climbing trees, occupying flower pots and so forth and so on.
They can become an overwhelming problem quickly and you have to spend more time and more effort in getting rid of the pests when you neglect your duty before they appear. They seem to enjoy entering your kitchen, the place you find most distasteful. The same thing applies to roaches, if you do not put down roach traps in enclosed areas, powders which kill them, or spray preventive sprays, your domicile can quickly become infested with the pests which carry diseases. There is a spiritual principle, a key to My kingdom, which applies here also. That key is the coaching that My Holy Spirit did through Paul when He said to pray at all time in all places in the Holy Spirit. Rather than speaking negatively about someone or about your governing officials or about your family members or about your neighbors, if you will at all times speak My words in prayers by My Spirit, I will be spiritually spraying, spiritually spreading killing powders and spiritually implementing plans for defeating the demons who have already devised traps for you and your family. Most of the devil's plans were agreed to and set into motion by your own mouth, your own mind and your own attitudes by thinking thoughts of anger, hatred, enmity, strife, criticism, judgment, division, disgust, jealous and other negative thoughts. My Holy Spirit, while you are praying in My Spirit, can battle against your inheriting the negative actions caused by your agreement with the devil. However, when you are attentive to the promptings of My Holy Spirit to think, speak and do good to all people, then We do not have to spend so much time battling the devil, stopping all evil repercussions caused from the thoughts, attitudes and words that you, yourself, sowed into the kingdoms of heaven When you speak My words, think My thoughts and have My attitudes, then We can more quickly do the constructive building of solutions to family problems and implementing more blessings which will overtake you. You speak evil against your governing officials and then expect to live in peace. It is impossible because evil begets evil and good begets good. My admonition through Paul was that you should be led by My Spirit and pray in My Spirit nd then all things will work together for your good. Being led by My Spirit means that you think thoughts of love, have attitudes of love, speak words of love and perform actions of love. Praying in My Holy Spirit means that you pray in the prayer language of My Holy Spirit at all times, allowing Me to do the work of defeating the evil works which have been planned to come against you by the father of evil. Also, your prayers in My Holy Spirit will infuse the blessings of My kingdom into your life while you are on earth. Do not neglect the early prevention of evil works which are already planned against you. Jesus told the apostles to stay awake and pray. The apostles saw prison doors open after they prayed. Paul said to pray at all times in the Holy Spirit and he saw prison walls fall. Do not wait until things get bad, devastating you emotionally. Pray when things are good, praying to prevent your errors of agreeing with the enemy and praying to defeat the plans which have been devised against you. It's called prudent wisdom to pray in My Holy Spirit daily, spraying My preventive words into the heavens which will stop evil spirits before they hatch new evil plans. Pray until you are released by My Spirit to leave your prayer room, and then spread love to others. Your Loving Father Colossians 1:7-14; John 26:40-46; I Timothy 1:2-6; Acts 5:18-20; Acts 16:23-31l Romans 8:11-14; Romans 8:26-28; Ephesians 6:10-20.

LIONS DEVOUR; DOVES BRING PEACE
Dear One,
Jesus came to earth to destroy the works of the devil. In doing that work He healed the sick, cast out demons, comforted the brokenhearted and gave sight to the blind.
In comforting the brokenhearted, Jesus taught over and over again the mechanics on how to resist the works of the devil, who is the author of all evil. Jesus called the mechanics the keys to My Kingdom, which are the choices that you must make to resist the temptations to join with the devil in promoting his evil works in the earth.
My Holy Spirit told you through Peter that the devil as a roaring lion walks about in the earth seeking whom he may devour. Jesus taught the keys to My kingdom in order to coach you how to avoid being devoured. It always involves resisting the temptations of the devil to do his evil actions and how to refuse to return his evil actions towards you from others.
The devil's temptations come through thoughts. Those thoughts will always entice you to injure another person through words or actions. Injurious words spoken to others will accomplish the works of the evil one because you have made another person feel inferior, devalued, unworthy and pitiful.
Thoughts of disgust and demeaning attitudes towards others have the same power as killing them, Jesus said, because you are killing their souls, their self worth. He said that when you are angry with another person that you open yourself up to be judged by the same evil deeds which will boomerang back upon you. That's why he said if you are praying and someone has something against you that you should go and make peace with the person and return to your prayers so that they can more easily be answered.
Jesus taught and My Holy Spirit taught through My apostles that blessing thoughts and attitudes convey value and worth to other people. That's why He said to bless your enemies and to do good to those who do evil to you. He wanted you to realize that blessing others will always result in blessings returning to you because you have not cursed others in response to the temptations to think negatively and talk negatively about others. Jesus blessed those people who cursed Him and forgave the people who did evil actions toward Him.
I am reaffirming over and over this key to My kingdom now because of the influx of negative, cursing rhetoric fostered by political conflict in your country. If you buy into it and do the same thing, you will inherit the works of the evil one who is the father of conflict. If you join with him in his strife, you inherit his curses and you will be cursed in every area of your life. I am trying to keep your from being cursed.
Blessing others will convey to them a feeling of My value for them because you have valued them. Robbing others by conveying to them feelings of being inferior and devalued will baptize them in the opinion of the devil.
You are devalued when you devalue others in response to the promptings of the devil. Robbers are arrested and taken to prison. When you rob another person of his value, you are not only robbing him, you are robbing yourself because someone will eventually do the same thing to you.
Let all of your thoughts and attitudes and actions lift up others. You sing that My love lifted you, so you must lift others up by your love. Remember that Jesus said what you do to even the least of My children that you do to Him. You curse my creation when you curse others in response to the temptings of the father of curses.
When you bless others, you bless yourself in response to My leading you to bless others. What goes around does come back around again to you.
I want you to walk the earth surrounded by My blessings. They engulf you when you join with Me and bless others constantly.
Your loving Father

COALS OF FIRE
Dear One,
Let's look at some things that cause you problems, according to Jesus when He taught on the Beatitudes. He was teaching about attitudes which will cause you problems because they will be returned to you, pressed down and running over will people do the same things to you. Remember that thoughts become attitudes and attitudes become emotions which cause actions which are often contrary to My character.
Let's look at an example. Let's say someone says something or does something that you view as wrong and you have thoughts of how wrong the person is in his thinking, assessing that person as a fool or an idiot. That thought becomes an attitude when you put emotion or energy behind it by more judgmental thoughts about what the person said. Your face shows disdain for the person and you return words which affirm that you think he or she is an idiot or a fool. In that instant you devalue that person because the intent of your attitude and your words is to crush the person, putting him or her in an inferior position with your supposed vast knowledge of the subject. You devalue the person merely because of his or her difference of opinion. Your attitude is that you are right and the other person is wrong. That reeks of judgment.
Your injurious attitude and words drown the person in contempt because you deem the person as being unworthy of having his or her own opinion. If the person returns the evil attitude and words, then strife has entered the situation and with the strife comes every evil spirit. You are both convinced that you are right and you take the strife spirits, along with their demonic cohorts, along with you into your homes, your workplaces and your friendships, sharing with others your rightness and the wrongness of the other person. That produces more strife and judgment.
That is the reason Jesus spoke about attitudes in His first teaching. That is why He said not to oppose anyone. That is why He said to forgive immediately. That is why He said to never return evil for evil, but to return good for evil. Jesus knew the interaction between the spiritual world and the earth, that the seeds sown by My children will inherit good fruit from Me if good is returned for evil, or they will inherit bad fruit from hell if evil is returned for evil. He said you will reap what you sow. He taught this key to My kingdom to protect you from inheriting evil in your life or the lives of your children because you have returned evil for evil.
When you put a person into an inferior position in your thinking because of his having an opposing belief or opinion, you rob him of his free will which I gave to all My children. You devalue the person in your opinion rather than valuing him or her like I commanded that you do as a result of My
love for both of you. You have acted and reacted with bad attitudes from the kingdom of hatred rather than My kingdom of love. You have carried out the devil's work in the earth rather than carrying out My work.
You have had the experience many times when there were opposing beliefs between you and others when I said to you, "Drop the matter from your mind without reacting. I will prove you right if you are right and experiences will show you to be wrong if you are wrong." You were glad that you didn't react in defiance to the person when you were eventually proved to be wrong. You were in awe of Me when you were eventually proved to be right. That is what is meant when the Instruction Book says that vengeance is mine, meaning that it's My job to prove whether you are right or wrong in your assessment of things if you will not insist on your own way by putting down or devaluing another person by your attitudes.
The principles of My kingdom, called the keys, are almost always diametrically opposite from the ways of the world which has adopted the ways of the devil. You acted and reacted in those ways many times and often revert to the old ways which is filled with curses. Jesus said to learn His ways, which are to never return evil for evil but to always return good for evil.
I told you to feed your enemy when he is hungry, give him drink when he is thirsty and to pray for those who spitefully use you. I said that when you do those acts of kindness you are heaping coals of fire upon the head of your enemy. Those coals of fire are My cherubim angels who minister peaceable thoughts to your enemy, as seen by the prophet Ezekiel when he was given a peek into My heavens. Those peaceable thoughts will change the negative thoughts toward you by your enemy into good thoughts, bringing peace to the situation.
This key fits many locks. It's right next to the Master Key of Love on the key chain of My Holy Spirit. My Spirit will alert you to this key; but you, yourself, must use it. When you do, you inherit a portion of your inheritance, which is peace with everyone. You will live in peace which My Son, the Prince of Peace, brings to every situation when you use the proper Keys.
Your Loving Father

THE ROCK
Dear One,
It is an established psychological fact that a person who has a submissive, victim attitude will attract a person who has a domineering, bully attitude. The person with a domineering attitude or spirit will not be tempted to dominate someone with another domineering spirit because that person cannot be dominated. The domineering spirit will seek to dominate a person who has a submissive, victim attitude or spirit. That is why your psychologists will recommend that a person with a submissive, victim spirit receive martial arts training, so as to become self assured and help rid them of the victim spirit.
A prime characteristic of a person who has a submissive, victim spirit is a "poor me" feeling of inferiority. That "poor me" spirit can come from domineering parents, from bullying friends or acquaintances and often from repeated failures because of lack of confidence. A person's basic foundation of being loved is torn apart by domineering people who leave behind a shattered ego.
That poor in spirit person is the one whom Jesus referred to as being blessed by His ministry because My kingdom belongs to the poor in spirit. They are the brokenhearted people whom Jesus was sent to heal and offer to them My blessings.
One of the problems with having a "poor me" spirit or attitude is that it attracts like spirits to it that will make the person more of a victim, feeling more inferior than ever. "Poor me" spirits invite more victim spirits to add to the "poor me" attitude. It attracts situations and circumstances which will convince the person that he or she is more of a victim than before.
One of the promises to My children is that a person with a broken spirit that was caused by victimization will be healed of the submissive, victim, "poor me" spirit and be set upon the foundation rock of My love and My power, giving the person the knowledge of being loved, being valued and having strength. That person to whom My Holy Spirit has revealed My love and My power will no longer have the image of being a "poor me". He or she will experience that My love and My power give a solid and firm foundation of being the apple of My eye and the object of My love. The foundation in their ego will then be, "Of whom, then, should I be afraid?"
When I am the Rock of a person's life, there is no occasion to be afraid of the demonic dominating spirits which might empower others. The blessed person who has received a firm foundation based upon My love for him or her will be able to proclaim, "My God is the light of My salvation. Of who, then, should I be afraid."
I sent Jesus to earth to heal the brokenhearted people who have been wounded and injured spiritually and emotionally by others. I sent Him to minister My love and My valuation to the broken hearted. Your mission is the same, to give My unconditional love to the ones who have been rejected, stomped upon, devalued and emotionally assaulted by others. You can restore to them the knowledge of My love through your love, My validation of their value through your validation.
Refuse to entertain a "poor me" attitude so that you will not attract more things which will make you a victim. Stand up and declare to a "poor me" thought that I am the Rock of your Salvation and you are My child, the heir of My goodness and kindness.
Distribute to others the love and validation that they need to feel valued by Me. When you do, you have fed their souls the nutrients that it needs.
I do it for you. You should do the same for others.
Your Loving Father

ASK AND RECEIVE
Dear One,
Jealousy is a wicked demon. It causes you to not only wish for something that someone else possesses, but it will cause you to have bad attitudes toward the person. Jealousy will cause you to push the other person down beneath you in your estimation because you feel like that person does not deserve to have the possession more than you do.
Jealousy will even cause some people to rob from, steal from and even kill people who posses what he or she lacks.
Jealousy begins with thoughts, but it often becomes verbal, speaking criticism, scorn, gossip, maligning, sarcasm and envy. Since criticism is the same as judgment, it will cause you to sow seeds which will grow plants of judgment in your garden of life. Jesus said that if you judge you will be judged by others.
Jealousy causes strife. I said where there is strife there is every evil work.
James wrote in one of his chapters of the Instruction Book that there is fighting between people because of the demonic passions that are at war among people. He said that a person desires to have something that someone else has, that the person will covet it, and if he or she cannot get it on his or her own initiative, they rob, steal or kill to get it. It all starts with jealousy, envy and covetousness.
James said that My children don't have what they desire because they don't ask Me. He also said that they ask but don't receive because they ask wrongly and they often only spend it on their passions. He said that I oppose the proud but I give grace to the humble.
James cautioned My children to resist the devil when he tempts them to become jealous. He said the devil will flee from them when they resist his temptations. He cautioned My children to purify their heart of jealousy and to cleanse their hands of envy so as not to be double minded by asking Me for something but all the while entertaining the devil's thoughts of jealousy and strife.
James said that it is simple, that if you humble yourself that I will exalt you and elevate you with My wisdom and truth so that when you ask Me for something I will give it to you. James knew that all good and perfect things come from me.
James had a key to My kingdom. He said that living righteously by exemplifying My characteristics in the earth will cause you to inherit My entire kingdom. Jesus asked Me that My kingdom would come to earth just like it is in heaven.
Jesus and James both said to never speak evil against anyone because when you do that you are judging the new law of liberty that Jesus gave you, which is to love others just like I love you. When you are jealous and speak evil of someone, you are saying that the admonition of Jesus was of no effect because you know better than Him and you know better than Me.
So what James was teaching you is that when you want something, you need to ask Me, asking without having jealousy, envy, scorn or covetousness in your heart because those attitudes come from their father, the father of destruction. Double mindedness will not cause you to inherit My goodness.
James took the truth that Jesus taught and allowed My Holy Spirit to explain and amplify it for him. He did what Jesus said you should do, let My Holy Spirit take the things that He said and reveal them to you, allowing you to become humble and of a pure heart so that your prayers will be answered.
Jesus said if you will ask that you will receive. He and James gave you the instructions on asking with a pure heart, which My Spirit will create within you by giving you My wisdom.
Peter said in one of his chapters in My Instruction Book, that I have given you everything necessary for the abundant life and godliness. They are all found in the truths which My Spirit will teach you. Yes, he said "everything" necessary for the abundant life and godliness. There is no reason to be jealous of what someone has. I gave My kingdom to you and I gave the keys to My Holy Spirit. He lives in you, so you have all the keys. You just need to listen to the tutor and He will tell you the steps necessary to access your inheritance. He's the advocate, the lawyer who dispenses the benefits of My kingdom.
Listen to My Spirit and He WILL lead you into all truth.
Your Loving Father
