WORDS OF THE SPIRIT OF LIFE

Dear One,
    My instructions, My advice, My guidance, My admonitions, My warnings, My cautions, My counsels, all of My words to you bring life.  The temptations of the devil, the impressions of the devil, all of the words of the devil bring death to you.  That is what the scripture means, "For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set you free from the law of sin and death," the spirit of death being the devil who uses old covenant laws to condemn My children. (Romans 8:2-6)
    There are two voices who speak in your thoughts, My Holy Spirit who leads you to the abundant life that I promised through loving others as I love you; and then there is the voice of the devil who tempts you to be angry, selfish, self consumed, judgmental, volatile, vengeful and hateful which lead to death and destruction.  The death that he fosters begins with destruction of family unity, the death of mental peace, the death of relationships, the death of prosperity, the ceasing of doing acts of kindness and goodness from you which will lead eventually to emotional and  physical death,  That is his mode of operations, killing you in slow, unrecognized ways.
     My ways are opposite from the evil ways.  They are to love everyone as I love you and through that love you will honor others, validate others, restore others to your love, forgive others, reconcile others to your good graces if there is opposition, bless others regardless of their attitudes and actions, and give to those people who are in need,  The only way that you can do those things and be extensions of My love is to choose to take the instructions of My Holy Spirit to heart and become a doer of My words instead of a hearer only.  When you choose My voice of love that appears in your thoughts and are written in your heart, following My guidance, you will find yourself being flooded with My blessings. (Romans 8:10-13)
     I said there are ways that lead to destruction and there are ways that lead to life.  You have the choice every minute of the day which voice to follow, either the one which only leads to death or My words which only lead to prosperity in every area of your life.  All of My instructions have to do with how you treat other people.  They have nothing to do with how many times you go to church or synagogues, how much money you give to an organization, how many religious classes you take or how many religious books you read.  It has to do with how you, as led by My Spirit, treat others, especially the unlovable ones.  
    Jesus said that those who feed the hungry, give drink to the thirsty, house the homeless, clothe the naked, visit the sick, minster to those in prison, all as led by My Spirit to love others, those people will enter into the blessings of My kingdom.   He said that in doing those things to others you do them to Me.  (Matthew 25:33-40) 
     I do not reject anyone because they do not love and keep peace with everyone.  Their negative actions toward others cause them to be judged by the devil and kept out of the benefits of My family life.  Displaying the character of the evil one is what causes My children to disqualify themselves as My true children who are inheritors of My blessings of goodness.
     I seek to restore all of My children to My graces.  I send out myriads of angels to entice them back into My family so that they will enjoy the benefits of My kingdom life instead of the cursed life in the pigpen of strife and judgment. 
     Choosing to follow My guidance of loving others as I love you always results in living a blessed, happy, joyful, peaceful, love filled life.  I even give you the Spirit of Love who guides you to thoughts, attitudes and actions which display My character of love.  Hear His words that are written on your heart and observe them.  The abundant life is awaiting you. (John 14:23-26)
     Your Father of Promise  

THE LAW OF LIBERTY

Dear One,
    My covenant of love as revealed by My Holy Spirit to My children holds only one commandment.  All of My admonitions, My instructions, My advice and My principles are contained within the commandment that you love others as I love you.  Jesus proclaimed it and My new covenant prophets of love reiterated it in their writings to you. (John 13:34)
   James was one of My prophets of the ministry of love.  He told you that some people who hear or read My desire for them, which is to love others as I love you, but who turn away and go back to their own selfish, self consumed ways of thinking he or she is right in his own actions and wisdom, he or she will always reap what he or she has sown.  But he said when anyone looks into My spiritual law of liberty and does what I ask them to do, loving others constantly, he will be blessed in all of his doing. (James 1:19-25)
    My law of liberty is doing what I lead you to do, what I even wrote for you to do under My covenant of love for all people.  It frees you from the spiritual laws of the devil whose actions for you lead only to destruction and death, (James 1:19-21) The devil's laws of bondage to strife, anger, vengeance, discord, prejudice and pride always produce death.  My law of love always produces physical and spiritual life plus mental and emotional soul peace.  (Romans 8:2)
    You are faced with the choice every minute of the day in your thoughts of whether to extend love to others or whether to judge, condemn and belittle them in your thoughts as being inferior, poor or not living up to your standards.  I have no standards for anyone except that unconditional love from you will always fulfill all of the judgmental laws of the old covenant prophets.(Romans 13:8-10)
    I told you through the prophet Paul, another minister of love, that you should bear the troublesome faults of others, meaning you should react in love toward the person whose actions are abusive, accusatory or offensive to you.  When you can do that, you have truly fulfilled the law of Christ, which is to love others as I love you. (Galatians 6:2-5)
    There are many hearers only of My law of liberty. They forget that their happiness and success depend upon following My advice to love others as I love you, which is with forgiveness, mercy, kindness and goodness. 
    It is My good pleasure to give you My kingdom, loving you and providing the benefits of My love to you.  Make it your good pleasure to also give the benefits of My family to others, having forgiving and loving thoughts for others and doing good acts toward everyone.  When you bring peace to every situation you are known as My children. (Matthew 25:37-40; Matthew 5:9)
    My true children know My voice and follow My parental advice.  They inherit all of My blessings when they do.
    Your Shepherding Father of Liberty
     

FIRST THINGS FIRST

Dear One,
    My beneficial instructions are meant to always bring success into the lives of My children.  There are written instructions in My Book relating to every problem, circumstance and troubling situation that can occur in your life.  There are even more personal instructions by My Holy Spirit to you relating to specific disturbing events that happen just because you live in a world where evil exists.  But, be of good cheer, I have overcome every form of evil and there is nothing that comes upon you that is not common to people. (John 16:33) I will always show you the way of escape from the problems if you will follow My instructions.  (John 16:33; I Corinthians 10:13)
    My primary instruction through Jesus was to FIRST seek the wisdom that comes only from Me and My kingdom when problems arise.  Instead of first worrying, fretting, toiling or spinning around in circles for the way out of the problem by using your own weak, ineffective solutions which have no lasting results, FIRST seek Me and My insight into the situation by praying in My Holy Spirit and listening for My wisdom.  Make no emotional reaction to the problem because problems can never be handled in the emotions.  Emotional responses will only amplify the problem, adding fuel to the problem and delaying the solution to the burden.   It takes My wisdom to tackle every trying situation. (I Corinthians 1:25)
    My Holy Spirit said through James that if you lack wisdom you should ask Me for My wisdom, asking in faith that you will receive the perfect solution to the troublesome mess which gives you discomfort and heartache.  (James 1:5-6)
    It is necessary to separate yourself from others and pray in your prayer closet because it is easier to be attentive to Me when you are separate from the world.  Jesus promised that if you only pray in secret with Me that I will reward you openly.  (Matthew 6:6)
    Another facet to My instructions on what to do FIRST when troubles arise in your life besides seeking Me and My wisdom is that you also seek to display My righteousness.  Displaying My peaceful, loving, merciful, kind, good and gracious character will turn the hearts of your enemies and those who are involved in the troubling situation to be peaceful, loving, merciful, kind, good and gracious toward you.  This part of My insight is very important because My peaceful, loving ways shown to everyone involved will tenderize every volatile, mean, angry, vicious, and vengeful person, turning his or her heart to you.  (Matthew 44-48; Romans 2:4) Peace will be the result.
    I said that if you seek My kingdom and My righteousness that everything will be added to you.  I give you insight into the problem, cuing you on what to do which always involves bringing My righteous character into every situation.
   Instead of becoming emotional and angry, when you seek My wisdom in every matter and display My loving, peaceful character in troublesome situations, your prayers will easily be answered.  When you do, you make My job easier of reversing the situation so that it enhances your life instead of destroying your life.
   My ways are so much more superior than your ways.  Determine to follow My instructions in every situation and you will see that you will possess abundant blessings that are too many to count.  (Matthew 6:25-33)
    I am your Father.  I lead you to beneficial solutions so that you will be blessed in every area of your life. 
    Your Wise and Generous Father

OPEN INVITATION

Dear One,
    Do you often wonder why people who do not call themselves by My name are often more prosperous, joyful, happy, loving, generous and peaceful than some of My children?  Jesus taught that it rains on the just and the unjust and the sun shines on the evil and the good.  In other words, He was saying that I am no respecter of persons.  That might not seem fair to you who call yourselves by My name, yet there is a spiritual principle or law involved in His teaching on the subject.(Matthew 5:45-48) 
     Jesus taught this truth when He taught that the old religious laws said to require an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth, but He said not to to do evil to others who oppose you and to give more than is required to those who sue you, to go further on the road than is asked of you, to give to anyone who asks anything of you and that if anyone wants to borrow from you, you must not turn that person away.  He also said that their religious traditions were to love their neighbors but hate their enemies.  Instead of those actions, Jesus' instructions are to love your enemies, to bless those who curse you, to do good to those who hate you, to pray for those who spitefully use and persecute you.
    So the people who are loving, kind, merciful and generous to others are the ones who inherit the promises that I made to My children because they are doing, by their programmed instincts, what I told them to do. By their environment, their background and their heritage they have measures of the fruit of My Spirit which fulfill the principle of sowing to My kingdom, so that is why they receive My blessings. The principles of seed sowing are a spiritual principle that is open to everyone.  I instituted that spiritual law in the beginning before I created people, that what is sown in the earth will reap from heaven the same commodities for harvesting.  So the people who do what I ask of My children without being told  also receive My blessings which lead to a happy life.
    My Spirit said through Paul that those who do what spiritual principles require, without even knowing what those principles are, they reap the same benefits as those who know the laws and do them.  So people who love others, are merciful to others, forgive others, share their fortunes with others, those people have sown to My kingdom of love and they reap the benefits of My kingdom. (Romans 2:13-16)
    The problem with many of My own children not having received their inheritance due them while they live in the earth is that they do not operate in the world by My principles of love which include  never returning evil for evil, refusing to strike back with hands of words, blessing instead of cursing others, forgiving instead of judging others.   Because of religious laws, they do the opposite.  They hold grudges, they judge the spirituality of others, they speak bitter words instead of uplifting words, they strike back immediately when struck with words or hands, they refuse to share their bounty with the poor and those in need, they engage in religious and political wars readily and claim to do it in My name instead keeping peace with everyone,
    I said that whoever does what the new covenant spiritual principles of love requires without even knowing the spiritual laws will reap the benefits or rewards of those principles. (Romans 2:13-15)  And, those who profess My name and pridefully boast to be My children but who do not do what the principles of love require, breaking the very principles of love and dishonoring Me by refusing to follow My instructions, they cause My name to be blasphemed and maligned. (Romans 2:23-24) Then they wonder why they are not receiving My blessings.  It is not because I am withholding their blessings.  It is because they are sowing to the garden of destruction instead of to My garden of life.
    I issue an open invitation to all of My children to join with Me in spreading love and peace in the world.  Those who follow My instructions, whether by instinct or knowing My words, will reap the benefits of My kingdom while in the earth.  It is a spiritual principle that cannot be overturned.  Seeds produce like plants.  Judging and returning evil for evil done to you will produce judgment for you and evil being dispensed into your life. 
    Love shown to everyone, even your most evil enemies, will produce love in your life.(Matthew 5:44-45)  Forgiveness to the person who does the worst injuries to you will produce forgiveness in your life. (Matthew 6:12) Mercy shown to everyone will produce mercy shown to you. (Matthew 5:7) Peace produces a peaceful life for you and identifies you as My child. (Matthew 5:9) Joy produces a light heart.  Kindness and goodness shown to others, regardless of their bad attitudes and actions, plants seeds in My kingdom and produces My spiritual, mental, emotional and physical blessings in your life.  My kingdom descends upon your life in great force and blesses you. (Matthew 5:19-20)
    I gave you a new Spirit, My Spirit, so that you will have the supernatural, spiritual power to follow My advice told to you by Jesus and My Holy Spirit.  You have the power and you have the written instructions.  Go and do likewise. 
    My love, forgiveness, blessings and inheritance are for all My children.  Those who follow My advice receive them because they have sown the seeds of love, forgiveness and peace in the earth.
    Your Loving, Peaceful, Forgiving Father 
     

VALUABLE ADVICE

VALUABLE ADVICE
Dear One,
    Rebellious children do not take the advice of their parents.  Instead, they become followers of the unwise advice of their peers or of rebellious adults.  Good parents want to guide their children away from evil influences and evil traps set to lead them to destruction.  Still, many of the children take the advice of those people who are already bound to addictions, injurious actions, unwise activities and unstable environments.
     Unfortunately, it's the same in My family.  Some of My children do not take My advice, the valuable insights that I have given to them since the creation of the earth.  In their demand for independence from My instructions, advice, admonitions and commandments, they have unknowingly followed the guidance of their enemy, the devil, who has cursed My children from the beginning.  There are only two ways, My ways which lead to the abundant life, and the ways of the devil, which lead to destruction.   There is no middle ground, no other voices.  It's either My voice in their thoughts or the voice of the devil in the thoughts of My children.(Genesis 2:17)  Most often, they choose the evil voice because it always glorifies their selfishness instead of speaking of My ways of love and peace.
    Even My most loyal children often fall for the voices of selfishness, being only  conscious of themselves and their own emotions.  They fall for the thoughts in their minds which tell them to strike back when stricken, return evil for evil done to them, go to war when finding peace is always available, killing each other with weapons or offensive and oppositional words, participating in strife and anger in their religions and politics, always hating other people who differ from them instead of loving them as I commanded.
    I warned My children through Jesus and the new covenant prophets that their enemies are not human beings but their enemies are demonic spirits in the air around them.(Ephesians 6:10-18)  Still, they want to fight other humans instead of forgiving them and then following My instructions to only war against the real enemies, the demonic powers in the air, by praying in My Holy Spirit.  They obey the voices of strife and war instead of My voice of love and peace.  They forget that I said what they do to the least of My children they do to Me. (Matthew 25:34-40)
    One key of My kingdom is to learn to discern the difference between My voice of peace and the devil's voice of discord.   My Holy Spirit is the decision maker in discerning which voice is of Me.  He has been given the job of discerning (judging) between the two voices in your thoughts and then giving you the power to follow My guidance of truth instead of the voice of deceit.  (John 16: 8-11)  Your happiness during your life on earth depends upon that discernment because if you do not depend upon My Spirit's guidance you will fall for the devil's plans to bring discord into your life.  Always err on the side of love because My Spirit will always influence you to love others and be peaceful to others, no matter how deceived and deluded they are by the devil.  No person is ever "right" in My kingdom, there is only love for everyone, because love and all of its outgrowths are My RIGHTeousness.
    Sow strife and you will reap more strife in your daily life, pressed down and running over.
    Sow anger and hatred and you will reap hatred and anger shown toward you, pressed down and running over in your daily life.
    Sow judgment and you will reap judgment pressed down and running over in your daily life.
    Sow forgiveness and you will reap forgiveness in your daily life, pressed down and running over.  (Luke 6:31-38)
    Sow My love and you will reap love in your daily life, pressed down and running over.
    Sow peace and you will reap peace in your daily life, pressed down and running over.
    Sow understanding and you will reap understanding in your daily life, pressed down and running over.
    Sow My wisdom and you will reap increased wisdom from Me, pressed down and running over. 
    Sow My kingdom of peace into the earth and you will reap the abundant life that I promised, pressed down and running over.
    Seed time and harvest are the enduring principles or keys of My kingdom.  You will reap what you have sown.  If you sow to the devil's spiritual garden of destruction you will reap destruction . If you sow to My spiritual garden of love, you will reap the abundant life that I promised. (Galatians 6:7-10)
    I want you to reap the abundant benefits which are My good pleasure to give you.   Seek My kingdom and live the blessed life. (Luke 12:31-32)
     Your Forgiving, Loving, Peaceful Father

THE CURSES OF RETURNING EVIL FOR EVIL

THE CURSES OF RETURNING EVIL FOR EVIL
Dear One,
    Jesus didn't teach and admonish just to hear His own voice.  He taught you My principles of life which he guarantees will result in your having a peaceful, quiet, prosperous and blessed life.  Every word that proceeded from His mouth was spoken to increase peace in the lives of My children.  The problem is that My ways aren't your normal ways and they have never been the ways of My children since the incident in the Garden of Eden when humans began not only to hear My voice leading to My goodness coming into their lives but also they heard the devil's evil temptations which lead to destruction. (Genesis 2;15-17) Evil ways became the way of self preservation for My children instead of My ways of showing love, goodness and kindness to others.
    When I sent My Son into the earth, I restored My beneficial instructions to My children, ones which would correct the mistakes made which lead to problem after problem.  I started with a simple, elementary principle, do to others as you would have them do to you.  That was so simple that My children overlook it or merely chose to follow it as long as people treat them with kindness.  But when  someone did an evil act toward them, they switched back to the old way of seeking vengeance instead of doing good to them. (Matthew 5;44-45)
     Jesus went into more detail, giving you an example of a principle of love which is to refuse to become angry at someone who offends you.  He said that a person who has anger toward another person is in danger of being judged by the devil, inheriting his destruction. He said that the old laws said not to kill, but his insight and wisdom said not to even be angry with anyone.  He went further and said that anyone who insults another person is in danger of being brought up before the council of hell where the devil becomes your judge.  In a further nugget of wisdom he said that anyone who calls a person a fool is in danger of being liable to the fires of hell, meaning that the person opens himself up to be judged by satan.  He was revealing a truth, that when you yield to the devil's demon of anger that you have joined in unity with him and he will judge you until you have paid the full price. (Matthew 5:21-26)
    Jesus was so emphatic about this nugget of truth that He gave the way to avoid the judgment of hell when you are tempted to be angry with another person or to oppose someone.  He said to make peace with anyone who accuses you of anything or is in opposition to you instead of being angry with the person.  He said that if you don't make peace by apologizing and coming into unity with the person; but if you continue in anger, then the devil will definitely bring you before his council of hell and they will return to you a situation grown from the seeds of anger and you will have to pay the full price for your yielding to the anger instead of forgiving and forgetting the accusatory matter.
    His instructions later in the teaching were to love your enemies, blessing them and doing good to them.  When you are able to do this by the power of My Holy Spirit, you sow seeds into My heavenly kingdom and blessings come upon you and in your life because you will reap My goodness instead of the devil's destruction by your yielding to his temptations and reaping the destruction that he distributes from hell. (Matthew 5:41-43) 
    This key to My kingdom is the most basic one spoken by Jesus.  He was clear, concise and definite about this teaching.  He knew the emotional pull toward doing evil, acting out of negative emotions rather than acting out of My loving emotions, called the fruit of My Spirit (Galatians 5:11-23)
    Anger wants to destroy you.  I want to save you from the works of anger so I told Jesus to speak this key to My kingdom living so that My children would know how to and why to refuse to return evil for evil done to them.
    I am a preserver of My children.  My Holy Spirit makes My ways easy to do.  The benefits of taking My advice are glorious.
    Always return good for evil done to you!
    Your Father of wisdom.          
   

YOUR WORST ENEMY

 Dear One,
    Fear is the greatest enemy of My children, not the other humans that you make your human enemies, your neighbors, your family, your friends, people of different cultures, different races, different religions, different beliefs or different social standings.  None of those are your enemies.  Your enemies are in the spiritual dimension around you, of which fear is the most powerful. (Ephesians 6:12-18)
    A wise man once said that the only thing to fear is fear itself.  That is because fear causes you to become paranoid, reclusive, angry, vengeful, striking out at anyone whom you deduce to be your human enemy.  That is what fear does in your mind in relation to others.
    Fear also causes the negative hormones of your body to flood into your brain, your muscles and all of your organs, resulting in self imposed internal turmoil which causes diseases in your body.  Fear does that.  No human that you consider your enemy can do that.  So your most powerful enemy who wages war against you is fear which comes into your mind by news of strife filled events caused by others humans.  Yet, those humans are not your enemy.  Fear caused by the news of strife is your enemy.  Fear is introduced into your mind by your friends, the news media, your religious community and politicians.  Peace is introduced into your mind by My Holy Spirit. (Matthew 10:26-31; Matthew 28:5-8; Luke 1:13 and 28.)
    I said that I do not give you a spirit of fear but I do give you a Spirit of power, love and a sound mind. (II Timothy 1:6-7) I always say not to be afraid.  So the arsenal that I have given you is a Spirit of a sound mind that is much more powerful than your enemy of fear. A sound mind is a Spirit of peace, the peace that does not allow you to slip into making flesh and blood your enemies.  My Spirit of peace, who is My Holy Spirit, will assure you that I have the solution to every problem that comes your way, that I will protect you, provide for you, assure you and guide you away from the situations that allow fear to occupy your mind and curse you, spirit, soul and body.
    Caution is an outgrowth of My guidance to My children.  I said to be cautious that you do not become a slave of fear, a slave of anger, a slave of worry, a slave of strife, a slave of bitterness, a slave of unforgiveness, a slave of a fearful mind that lacks peace, a slave of hatred of others, a slave of vengeance,  or a slave of political and religious fear.
   Fear attracts other calamities to you because fear is of the devil and fear is an invitation by the evil one to continue his destruction in your life. 
   Your mantra must always be that you have confidence in Me and My power instead of the power of fear, that you are fully persuaded that I will keep My promises.  (Romans 4:20-22; II Timothy 1:12-14)
    I am your Father.  Faith in Me chases away all fear.  My children must be the ones who speak faith when others are speaking fear.
    I give you a Spirit of power over evil, love for others, and a sound, peaceful mind.
    Your Loyal and Protective Father
