COMMUNION

Dear One,

If you wonder why is seems so hard to find time to seek Me and why is seems so hard to hear My personal words to you, consider the fact that your spiritual enemy, the devil, wants to rob you of communion with Me. He creates busyness and confusion to distract you, and he sends doubt and unbelief to your mind to make you think that you cannot hear My words. He doesn't want you to hear my truths because truth sets you free from his bondage. He doesn't want you to receive My guidance because I can lead you out of his snares.

I didn't make it hard to commune with Me. I made it easy in the beginning, but when man allowed the devil into the world he put separation between us.

I made it easy again for us to commune when I sent My Holy Spirit into the world to dwell in men. Now we communicate via My Spirit within you. Take time to reason with Me and you will be free of all encumbrances that cause your problems.

Love, God

ANSWERS AND SOLUTIONS

Dear One,
Answers and solutions are often hidden from human consciousness. They are not hidden by Me, they are hidden by spirits is darkness, hence the word "darkness".
I desire that you have the answers and solutions to every problem, every situation, every circumstance in which you find yourself.
In fact, if you will seek Me and ask Me for the answers and the solutions, I will always make sure that they get to you in some way. Remember that I used a donkey at one time to get My words to a man,
I am always willing and able to help you find the way out. My greatest pleasure is to help My children out of the snares and the traps that dark spirits lay for them.
I also feel the joy and the freedom that you do when you have found the way out.
Love, God

LOVE GUIDES

Dear One,
Love does not enable a person to be dependent.
Love encourages other people to be independent, making their own decisions and using their own free will.
Love doesn't assume responsibilities for others.
Love allows others to take responsibility for themselves and their own decisions.
Love doesn't usurp the powers of others by taking control of their lives.
Love gives other people power over themselves and their own lives.
Love encourages other people to mature and grow in their own decision making abilities.
Love is available to help people when they have made wrong decisions and wrong choices, but love never takes away their choices.
Love never usurps free will. Love only guides and directs, never controls and dominates.
I give all men free will but I am there when called upon to rescue them from the effects of their bad choices.
I am always available to lead and guide men into the right choices, but I always allow them to make their own choices. Call upon Me for guidance into the right choices which will benefit you and lead to an abundant life. The decision is always yours to make.
Love, God

CHOOSE LIFE

Dear One,
Life is what you make of it.
Life can be boring or life can be exciting.
Life can be exhausting or life can be restful.
Life can be painful or life can be healthy.
Life can be dull or life can be exciting.
Life can be a struggle or life can be easy.
Life can be sad or life can be happy.
Make your choice every day so that your life will be exciting, happy, easy, restful, healthy and amazing.
The word "life" connotes motion, vitality and excitement.
Choose to celebrate life, which is My gift to you.
Love, God

LIGHT DISPELS DARKNESS

Dear one,
Jesus said, "I am the light of the world," and I want My children to know that I can illuminate the direction you should go when you need a way out of any area of darkness that you have gotten into.
When light is shown in darkness there is no more darkness, no more times of being lost.
When you find yourself in darkness with no apparent way out of the darkness, turn to Me and call on My ability to light the way.
There is always a way of escape and I know where it is. I have already provided it for you. I am the guide who will lead you out of all darkness, whether it's spiritual darkness, mental darkness or physical darkness.
I am the light of the world.
Love, God

THE WAY

Dear One,
One of the reasons I said, "I am the way, the truth and the life," was to let My children know that I am the way out of all your difficulties and that I have the resources to find the way out of all the bad situations in which you find yourselves.
Also, if you will bring yourself into unity with Me through communion with Me when you find yourself in bad situations, I will lead and guide you onto the perfect way out.
If you doubt this, consider the history of the Israelites and how I showed them the way out of every problem that they encountered. I led them out of every bad situation and every difficulty when they returned to unity with me. Every time they came to me for guidance I shined My light of guidance so that they found the perfect way out.
Men get into problems because of the weaknesses of the flesh. The devil uses his wiles to get men into problems so that he can rob, kill and destroy My children.
Never forget that I am the way out of every problem.
I not only already know the way out, I have supernatural beings who work to get you on the right path that I have designed for your escape. Remember that I have the way out because I am the Way.
Love, God

INNER PURITY

Dear One,
Always relate evil that you see operating in people to evil spirits, not to the people.
Always relate good that you see operating in people to My spirit in them, not to the people.
Jesus said that no one is good except the Father. He meant that in the flesh no one could be considered all good.
When you see something about another person that disgusts you or brings fear or dread or anger or hatred to your mind, ask Me for the discerning of spirits so that you can know the evil spirit that is working through the person in the situation. Then you will know with what spirit you are dealing.
Also realize that the heart of the person, his spirit, is pure in My sight.
Always see the purity of the inner man while discerning the negative spirits that are at work in the outer man. You can separate the two, the spirits in a person's flesh or My spirit present in his spirit, when you are led by Me.
When you are operating in the discerning of spirits it's like running a person's identity through a policeman's computer to find out the police record of that person. You can run the flesh of a person through my discerning computer so that I can relate to you the negative spirits at work in him or in the situation. Then you can discern the goodness of the inner man where I live and you will find it much easier to forgive the outer person.
Love, God

TRUTH DESTROYS LIES

Dear One,
When you begin to recognize your true enemy, the devil, and you begin to recognize his temptations, his accusations and his deceit, then you have partially won the battle. The only thing left to do is to stand up to him, whether it is in ordering him out of your life, or resisting his temptations or overcoming evil with good.
Remember that his lies are just that, they are lies. He is the father of lies. All of his deceits and accusations and temptations are based on lies.
Lies are opposed to truths. Lies are not based on any spiritual realities, they are based on what the devil wants to make real in your life by enticing you to believe his lies and causing you to give credence to them. If you do that, then you will end up loaning him your power to bring the lies into manifestation in your life.
I gave you My constitution and bylaws and bill of rights when I gave you the written word so that you would have your rights as My child in black and white form to rely upon. When the devil whispers his lies into your ear in an effort to trick you, speak My written word to him relating to My promises regarding the situation. The devil will have to flee like he did when Jesus did the same thing. Then the angels will minister to you.
The negativities spoken to you by the devil are lies.
My promises are truth.
Love, God.

SPOILED CHILDREN

Dear One,
People who demand immediate results in answer to prayers can be compared to unruly, spoiled children who demand their own way rather than trusting the wisdom and ability of their parents to meet their needs and desires and wants in dire situations.
Spoiled, unruly children do not want to have to wait patiently for their parents to do the best thing for the children. They demand an answer to their requests immediately without having to wait for the perfect gift at the perfect time.
To be spoiled is to be immature, lacking many attributes in the areas of wisdom and knowledge.
Remember that I will always sustain you with patience during the waiting period. The time between the prayer and the complete answer to that prayer is a time for gaining revelation knowledge which brings maturity and lasting wisdom.
The waiting period also gives Me time to work out the perfect answer to the prayer. Waiting is worth it. Don't give up during the waiting period or you will shut the door on the answer. Faith and patience is required of you while I am working in your behalf.
Love, God
II Timothy 3:10; Hebrews 6:12

THE REAL ENEMY

Dear One,
My mission in the earth is redemption, delivering all men and the earth from the bondage of satan. Men must adopt My mission and receive My power and authority so that they can participate in regaining possesion of the earth.
I said that the earth waits to be redeemed from the bondage of satan.
Men who are filled with My Spirit are equipped with My power and authority to rescue themselves, other men and the earth from the evil one who captured it by deceit.
Men have adopted war with each other as an acceptable activity, but the only real enemy of men is satan and all of his demons. Men's battles are misdirected toward other men rather than toward satan, their true enemy, so satan has succeeded in deceiving men again into believing that their enemies are flesh and blood, diverting blame away from himself.
Redemption has an element of paying for something. The paying part of redemption should be paying satan and his demons back for all of the devastation that they have done in the earth by sending them to the fiery pit for eternity. It is pay back time. My sons in the earth need to take their earth back and redeem it from bondage.
Love, God

Where Love is present there is forgiveness.
Where Love is present there is kindness.
Where Love is present there is grace.
Where Love is present there is trust.
Where Love is present there is goodness.

THE OVERFLOWING STOREHOUSE

Dear One,
Don't forget my promise that I will restore everything that the locust has eaten and the things the canker worm has eaten and the caterpillar and the devourer and the cutter and all other varieties of demons.
That promise accompanies My promise to mankind of the outpouring of My Spirit. When I gave you My Holy Spirit I gave you the power to restore all things, everything that the devil has robbed from you, what he has killed or destroyed in your life.
My restoration storehouse is full to overflowing and it is constantly being refilled with goods for My children. Because of the immense size of My storehouse it is easy for Me to restore everything.
Earthly fathers often put money in a storehouse (a bank) for their children for when there is a need. I have a storehouse that has everything that My children need and I am eager to meet your every need.
When you come to Me asking Me to fill a need or want, I authorize My angels to bring the fulfillment of that need to you. I have supply angels who love to supply things for My children.
Everything in My storehouse belongs to My children.
Turn your back on the destructive worms who have robbed you, and then work with Me wholeheartedly for the restoration of everything that was taken from you.
Love, God
Joel 2:25-30; Acts 2:1-21; John 10:10

LIGHT HEALS WOUNDS

Dear One,
You know that deep wounds take a long time to heal. Healing comes more quickly when the wounds are exposed to light. They immediately begin to heal.
The same thing is true with deep emotional wounds. They take a long time to heal unless they are brought to the surface, exposed to air and light, and then the healing can be accelerated.
Keeping wounds hidden in darkness will give them the opportunity to fester and will allow infection to begin to take over. This is the reason I said to confess to one another so that you will be healed. I know that bringing them to the light will rob them of the power that darkness has over them.
I have given gifts to the world of pastoring and counseling so that someone is always there to hear the stories of the wounded, bringing wounds to the surface, exposing them to the Light. Then the power that came from the darkness is overcome and healing will begin.
Very often pride will cause someone to be timid in confessing that they have been wounded. Pride is a robber, too, and its aim is to cause you to keep wounds hidden away from healing light.
Choose your counselor carefully and you will experience healing.
Love, God

NOURISHMENT

Dear One,
There is within every man the ability to love and care for and nourish himself and others.
I am the Father of nourishment of body, of soul and of spirit. When you nourish yourself and others you are fulfilling the part of yourself that you inherited from Me.
You have seen from past experiences that I feed the animals and birds, meaning that I provide nourishment for them. There is instinct within the animals and birds to care for themselves and their offspring and for others. That is also a part of My Life that I put within animals and birds.
You have seen that I provided My Son and His sacrifice so that you might be nourished spiritually by My Holy Spirit, whom I sent to be your counselor and your source of new Life.
You have seen that I have nourished men's souls in the past and I have nourished your own soul with My words, providing the bread of life with My words of wisdom.
Because you are My child with My life in you, you have the same abilities that I have, the ability to feed the bodies and souls and spirits of others. You are My dispensers of nourishment. Feed My words of love and hope to the brokenhearted, the depressed, the lost and the discouraged and witness them come to new life because they have heard My words which bring new life.
Love, God

CLEAN ATMOSPHERES

Dear One,
Every act of love shown to others will fill the atmosphere around you with love angels.
Every act of mercy shown to others will fill the atmosphere around you with mercy angels.
Every act that brings joy to others will fill the atmosphere around you with joyful angels.
Every act that spreads peace to others will fill the atmosphere around you with peace angels.
You have experienced those activities many times.
Likewise, you have experienced the opposite, by filling the atmosphere around you with strife, conflict, contention, hatred, jealousy or depression you have felt the demons ministering to you and your family.
Sow love, reap love. Sow peace, reap peace. Sow mercy, reap mercy. Sow joy, reap joy.
If at all possible, keep peace with all men.
If at all possible, love all men.
If at all possible, be merciful to all men.
If at all possible, be joyful at all times.
By those actions you will walk in My Kingdom with your head above the negative things in the world. That's what I meant when I told you to seek My Kingdom.
I have called you to experience peace, joy, love and mercy. Sow them and then you will reap them.
Love, God

PERFECT GUIDANCE

Dear One,

Because I am your Father, My most powerful assets to you are My ability to lead and guide you. Trust Me to lead and guide you every day of your life onto the most exciting paths, the most beneficial paths, the most rewarding paths. With My X-Ray vision and supernatural powers I know the paths that are most beneficial and trouble-free for you. I know the paths on which you would encounter problems and trouble of every variety and I will cause you to avoid those paths. I will lead you into the prosperous paths, the safe paths, the beautiful paths.I will do the leading and guiding from inside you where I live.
Another benefit of my guidance is that you will always know where you are, and you will know that the destination will be the perfect place for you because I have gone ahead of you to perfect everything that pertains to you.
Remember that I lead and guide, I do not push, shove nor do I manipulate. I give you the option of following My leading and My guidance.
It's always your choice whether to choose the beneficial path or the destructive path.
Love, God

Wilderness Experiences

Dear One,
When you visit an earthly wilderness time seems to stand still because of the lack of human activity there.
The same is true, it often seems, when praying and believing for answers to prayers, it seems like time stands still and nothing is done in the heavens for you in order to facilitate answers to your prayers. Yet, mountains are being moved and buildings are being built and hearts are being changed in the spiritual dimension for you, even if you can't see evidence of it. Faith is the evidence of it, believing that I am working for you.
You must apply patience to the waiting period, the wilderness period, remembering that you inherit all of My blessings by faith and patience.
Love, God

SEEK PEACE

Dear One,
Seek peace, promote peace, teach peace, spread peace, perpetuate peace.
When you live in peace with all men, then you hit the spiritual lottery, you find the winning numbers, because every blessing from Me known to man will flow into your life.
Reap the benefits from what you have sown through peace and harmony, and every blessing will come to you.
Find a way to harmonize with all men. Then the symphonies of heaven will bless you spirit, soul and body.
Let your words bring grace to the hearer and you will be sowing peace in the earth.
Love, God

Peace Rules

Dear One,
Peace is the most precious commodity known to man.
Strife destroys more lives, kills more people, creates more harm than any other spiritual activity in the world.
Peace and strife are diametric opposites.
Where there is peace there is harmony.
Where there is strife there is discord and every evil thing.
Peace calls all of My angels into the spiritual atmosphere around a person's family or situation.
Strife calls all the devil's demons into the spiritual atmosphere around a person's family or situation.
Always choose peace over strife.
Love, God
Titus 3:1-3; Galatians 5:18-24

THOUGHTS-ATTITUDES-ACTIONS

Dear One,
Your spiritual enemy, the devil, will tempt you with negative, hurtful, self consuming, judgmental, wrathful, strife-filled thoughts so that he can entice you to take them and birth them. As a result of those negative thoughts he can cause you to be physically and mentally poisoned by the release of negative chemicals into your body and mind. Following that, you will release poisonous words and actions toward others and injure them.
Your spiritual counselor, the Holy Spirit, will impress you with positive, loving, merciful, wise, forgiving, joyful and patient thoughts so that you will take them and birth them. As a result of those positive thoughts I will cause you to be physically and mentally blessed by the release of positive, healthy chemicals into your mind and body. Following that, you will release loving words and actions toward others and bring blessings into their lives as well as your own.
Remember the succession of events. First comes thoughts. Then the thoughts produce attitudes. Then attitudes the produce actions. The result is you are either blessed or cursed, depending upon your thoughts.
Sow good seeds and produce good results.
Love, God

CLEAN WATERS or POLLUTED WATERS

Dear One,
I have talked to My children about clean water and brackish water pouring from the same well, from your mouth, one bringing positive results in people and the other bringing negative results in people.
Consider also the truth that your positive thoughts can cause healing by dispensing sweet chemicals to flow from your endocrine system into your body.
Your negative thoughts can cause poisonous (brackish) chemicals to flow into your mind and your body. The same truth applies.
I promised that you would have rivers of living water flowing from your inner being when you have My life in you.
Living waters or polluted waters can flow at various times depending upon your thoughts. If your thoughts are positive, then living waters will flow from your mouth. If your thoughts are negative then polluted waters will flow from your mouth, polluting your life and the lives of other people.
You have the choice of which thoughts you will entertain, those that heal or those that pollute. Choose wisely and you will have the abundant life that I have promised.
Love, God

Promised Land of Prayers

Dear One,
We have talked about what a difference a day makes in the scheme of things relating to answered prayers. You have observed days when it outwardly seemed like the answer to a prayer was "no" or "maybe" or "never" rather than "yes" and "amen". Then, miraculously, one day later the wonderful answer was visibly manifested.
There is even a more finite amount of time when it seems like the answer will never come, often a minute or an hour, when your mind is playing tricks on you and tells you that the answer will never come. Then, again miraculously, the answer is there and you are in awe of My ability to perfect everything in relation to you and your life.
There are many lessons to be learned in relation to time and its value in the scheme of things. After an answer is manifested, then looking back at the amount of time and faith that you invested in the endeavor is of no consequence to you. At that point in time when the answer became visible to you is the only time that is counted because of the joy in you.
You must remember that there is a wilderness experience in your mind while I and My hosts of angels are working full time in the spiritual dimension to bring a positive result. The promised land is always entered after the wilderness experience. The promised land is where the answer has become real to you and you are rejoicing at the results of your faith.
To bring results to all of your prayers involves My dealing with other people, changing their attitudes, their habits and their desires to bring them into agreement with the answers to your prayers. It's the change in them that takes time because of My gift of free will to them. Sometimes it takes a while for My suggestions to their minds to take root and bring changes that will benefit you and them.
Delays are never because of My lack of power, it's because of the reluctance of people to change and come in agreement with things that will benefit them.
So always realize that the time it takes for answers to prayers to be manifested means that I and My working angels are perfecting what concerns you and the people involved in your prayer requests. Every prayer you pray in accordance with the Spirit of Love is answered. Count on it.
Love, God
II Corinthians 1:20; Hebrews 1:1

Wresting vs. Winning

Dear One,
When you feel yourself begin to mentally lose ground to depression or fear or unforgiveness or strife or jealousy or opposition or contention, remember that you are already a winner. You are already a winner over those thought patterns and you can win that immediate battle over the mental turmoil that accompanies them. You're not a wrestler, pinned to the ground by an opponent unless you allow yourself to be.
You have won similar battles in the past and you will be a winner again. By an act of your will you can overcome them and emerge from those damaging emotions.
If you feel that you have already lost ground to an invading emotional spirit, just regroup and get on the aggressive side. The aggressive one is the winner every time.
Exert your authority over the negative emotional spirits by declaring them powerless over you. Speak to them of whom you are in Christ, the head and not the tail, the winner and not the loser, that you are above the situation and not below it. Then demand of your mind that it perform as a winner.
I crowned you a winner already.
Love, God
