ENERGY ROBBERS

Dear One,

I said that I would give you rest from your labors. Rest is a time of rejuvenation, of restoration. There is no striving when there is rest.
There is often conflict when you are striving because striving requires all of the energy that you can muster. When you have garnered all of your energy in order to strive, then there is often the occasion for a spirit of strife to enter into the situation because you have exhausted your supply of energy.
When you are at rest emotionally, then you are not striving. Therefore your life is void of strife. When there is no strife in your life there is no need for excess emotional energy which is necessary when you are striving. Strife and striving require energy.
Rest allows your body and mind to rest.
Rest from your emotional laboring and enjoy the restful life that I promised, free from striving and free from strife.

Love, God

LOVE CHANGES CURSES TO BLESSINGS

Dear One,

When you know My love for you, you will love the unlovable, the degenerate, the oppressed and the possessed.
When you know My love for you, then you will love the deceived, the judgmental, the misled and the rigid.
When you know My love for you, then you will understand the least understanding people.
When you know My love for you, then you will judge satan rather than judge people.
When you know My love for you, then you will forgive the ones who are the least forgiving.
When you know My love for you, then you will comfort the sinful rather than shame them.
When you know My love for you, then you will embrace people who are fearful.

When you do not know My love, then you will judge others.
When you do not know My love, then you will condemn others.
When you do not know My love, then you will expect perfection from others.
When you do not know My love, then you will be easily deceived.
When you do not know My love, then you will be easily misled.
When you do not know My love, then you will be rigid.
When you do not know My love, you will live in constant fear and it will be your master.
Knowing My love for you will change everything in your life from bad to good, from curses to blessings, from negatives to positives.
Love heals everything.

Love, God

PROPER SACRIFICES

Dear One,

You need to keep your consciousness alert to discern worry when it attaches itself to your mind. Worry consumes your thoughts about things that are actually none of your business.
When you are actively praying about something, then the workings of My kingdom and how I'm going to answer your prayers is My business. If you make it your business, then you begin to fret about how and when and where I'm going to accomplish the answer to your prayers. When you get into worrying about it, then you have completely moved out of faith into fear via the mental activities of fretting and worrying.
A child does not concern himself with how a parent is going to meet his needs or when it is going to be accomplished. He just trusts his parent to meet that need at the appropriate time and the child goes on his merry, carefree way with trust and faith in the parent, never losing his joy.
My children need to have trust and faith in Me the same way children trust their human parents, without fretting, worrying and wondering how and when and where, but praying and then going on their merry ways with joy, knowing that I have ways and means much more effective than what any human can imagine. My business is not always your business to be concerned with.
My workers, My angels, work much more effectively when they are unencumbered by the opposing forces of worrying and fretting.
I said that double mindedness is always nonproductive.
Worrying and fretting are enemies waiting to snatch your answered prayers before they come to fruition.
Worrying and fretting make good sacrifices. Put them on the altar to be consumed by fire.
Then go do something that brings joy to you, trusting your Heavenly Dad to finish the work.

Love, God

DESIRE, HOPE, FAITH, EXPECT

Dear One,

Desiring the best and expecting the best are not the same thing. One is passive and the other is active.
Desiring the best is passive and is classified as wishing for the best. It has no scriptural or spiritual basis. When a wish or desire becomes hope in your mind, then it becomes active because hope begins to open spiritual doors. Hope will eventually become faith if it is fed with My promises.
Expecting the best is also active and is classified as faith. Expectation is based upon being fully acquainted with My promises for you and knowing that My desire for you is that you live the abundant life, free from worries, cares, conflicts and other mental afflictions.
The progression is usually desire, hope, faith, and expecting the answer to your prayers to be manifested at any moment, but being willing to be patient in the meantime.
Most often I have given you the desires to have that for which you have wished. I often give you the desire to wish for something that you had heretofore thought was unattainable. Since I desire that you have life and have it more abundantly, I can give you desires for everything that I have promised. I don't see the limits that you see. I only see abundance.
When your desires are based upon my promises, then they are guaranteed to be fulfilled.
I said that I can do super abundantly more what you can think or imagine according to the power that is in you. When your desires become hope and the hope becomes faith, then the power of faith will see that your desires and My desires for you come to fruition.
You must know that My promises are based upon My desires for you. Then you can dare to believe them, knowing that I will fulfill My promises. You can expect an outcome better than you even desired or imagined.
I said I would supply your needs according to My riches in glory. My riches are not limited.
Believe that I desire the best for you, then believe that I will supply the best for you, and then expect the best things will be manifested in your life.

Love, God

FREEDOM FOR ALL

Dear One,

Never allow regret to enter your mind when you have spoken My wisdom. Often wisdom is opposite from tradition, opposite from uninspired teachings and always opposite from binding religious laws. Yes, people need to hear My wisdom because it is truth and truth sets them free.
Every man seeks freedom from something, from addictions, from abuse or the memory of abuse, from neglect, from bullying, from insecurities, from suspicions, from rejection, from judgments, from condemnation and many other afflictions. My words of wisdom can release them immediately because I have the words to set them free.
If it seems that My wisdom has not done its full work, trust that it will eventually. The seeds that were planted will eventually sprout and grow into full grown plants, releasing the hearer from his bindings.
My words always set you free. Trust that they will do the same thing for others.

Love, God

QUAGMIRE OF DISCOURAGEMENT

Dear One,

Avoid discouragement like you would avoid a plague because it is just that, a plague from the bowels of hell. The spirit of discouragement will rob you of all courage, all honor, all faith, all tenacity, all human drive that allows you to prevail in fights against an enemy. That is why your spiritual enemy, the devil, brings discouragement, to render you helpless and hopeless.
Discouragement will tell you that I can't do anything in a situation. It will tell you that everything is hopeless and will never change from the bad situation that it is. It will bring fear and all manner of oppression to your mind.
Girding up your spiritual loins is the first step toward getting out of the mental quagmire of discouragement and into faith and courage. Girding up means gathering your courage and deciding that you will not be defeated.
You can discourage the spirit of discouragement itself by speaking words of faith, speaking declarations of My promises of blessings, and then praying fervently with My life changing, situation changing words.
Fight fire with fire in those instances when you are discouraged. You must speak what you believe, that I will heal, save, restore and change every bad situation to a good one. Discourage that spirit of discouragement by speaking My ordinance, My statutes, My precepts and My testimonies to it. Then it will disappear and My angels will come to minister to you and to the situation, making it advantageous to you.
You have the words of life. Pray them.

Love, God
Psalm 119; Matthew 4:2-11;Hebrews 4:12-13; James 5:16.

LIMITLESS

Dear One,
You limit yourself when you limit Me. You limit yourself to mediocrity, to insufficiency, to want, to need, to unfulfilled desires.
When you limit Me in your expectations, then your prayers cannot be answered to the degree that I want to provide for you. When you limit Me, you bind Me and shut Me off from your life and your family's domain, preventing Me from fully giving you what I have designed for you, the abundant life.
If you believe doctrines of religion which say that I only speak a certain way or act a certain way or that I follow a certain religious form, then you have limited Me.
Your preconceived expectations are what limit Me or they free Me, one or the other. When you limit Me by thinking that I do not heal today and I do not speak individually to My children today, then you have bound Me from providing health, mercy, counsel, supernatural abilities and peace for you.
You must refuse to believe doctrines that limit My participation in the lives of My children. I'm your Good Father, One who wants an intimate relationship with you. When you know Me, then you will have the faith to expected miraculous things in your life.
Faith is believing for the impossible as far as human thinking is concerned.
I Am the Father who performs impossible things for My children.
Love, God
John 10:10; Ephesians 1:19; Ephesians 3:20.

FORGIVENESS BENEFITS

Dear One,

I don't think you would willingly bind yourself to the misfortunes of other people. That's what happens when you make the choice not to forgive someone, you bind yourself to the person, his misfortunes, his strife, his negative actions and his destructive attitudes. Because your thoughts are consumed with the person and the circumstance, you are truly bound to the person and by spiritual osmosis you will absorb the negativity in that person's life.
I taught that what is bound on earth is also bound in heaven and what is loosed on earth is also loosed in heaven. So that is the reason that I have taught so emphatically about forgiving people of their misdeeds toward you, I want you protected from the destructive things that can come upon you when the hurtful actions of a person or a situation occupies your mind. You become a partaker of all the bad spirits that minister to the offending person.
When you forgive a person, you release yourself from the damaging attitudes and actions that precipitated the offense. You release yourself from the results of the seeds that were sown in the offensive situation.
There are also other benefits besides the obvious benefits to you. The offending person is also released from the strife that accompanied the situation and he becomes free to change in his thoughts, attitudes and behavior. He is released from the judgments that came with the offense.
Forgiveness frees you, frees the other person and frees the situation from evil works.
My advise relating to forgiveness were not just idle words. They carry an eternal, spiritual benefit to everyone who will practice what I teach.
Forgiveness breaks the evil ties that bind and it puts you directly in the flow of blessings.

Love, God

COURT AND JUDGE

Dear One,
If something is not admitted into your courts, it is not evidence. An event never happened if there is no document or eye witness to confirm it. It never existed as far as the court is concerned unless someone saw it happen or heard it happen. Those people are called witnesses. They will swear to something they saw or heard.
That is why I give My children dreams and visions, and that is why I speak so distinctly to My children who will hear My voice, so that you will have evidence of what I have designed to happen in a situation. Faith abounds when you have seen events happen in the spiritual world before they actually happen in the natural world. That is why I said, "Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen." That means not seen with human eyes. When you see them happen with the eyes of your spirit in dreams or visions, then nothing can rob you of the faith necessary to bring them into existence.
The same thing can happen when the devil gives you fearful visions and dreams. If you believe that they will come to pass, fear will bring them to fruition. In the instances where your mental activities are imagining negative things happening, you must reject them like the trash that they are, take them to the garbage dump and throw them on the fires that are burning. The negative things that you imagine are introduced as evidence into your mind by the devil but you must immediately overrule them and send them to the fires of hell to be burned. Those negative images lack the power for them to be produced unless you believe them. Be like the judge who says, "Overruled," when false information has been introduced.
You and I are the judges over what can be introduced into evidence in your mind.
When I introduce a positive image into your mind by dreams or visions or words of wisdom, then you can say, "Let the official record show that the exhibit has been admitted." Then you can meditate upon it day and night, thus adding your faith and belief which will bring it into existence in the court of life.
There has to be a foundation laid for the admission of any exhibit in court. If there is no foundation laid, such as My scriptural promises, then evidence is thrown out of court. There are foundations for every dream, vision and word of wisdom that I give to you. You can check My Instruction Book and find a firm basis for them.
There is no foundation laid for what the devil introduces into your mind with fear. That's why it is so defeating for him when he hears you say, "It is written," just like Jesus did, because what I have written in our covenant and in your heart are solid foundations.
"It is written," or "God said," are powerful weapons of your warfare. When you quote My laws, statutes, precepts, ordinances, testimonies and promises to the devil which relate to any pertinent subject, then he has to shrink away as the powerless worm that he is.
You must know my words in order to overrule the introduction of negative evidence into your mind. When you know it as My revealed words, then you are powerful and well equipped to fight the good fight.
Entertain My thoughts about everything and everyone. Then you will be victorious, abounding in faith.
Love, God

THE EXECTUTOR OF GOD'S ESTATE

Dear One,

A life filled with gratitude is a life with a receiving heart. Gratitude opens the flood gates of heaven, creating a clear passage from earth to heaven.
A lack of gratitude is an indication of the presence of negative attitudes which dam up the passageway, thus stopping the flow of living waters.
If you find yourself in an attitude of ingratitude, immediately begin to reflect on My miracles which I performed in your life, the small ones as well as the large ones. Then you will begin to have a heart filled with gratitude again and the passageway is cleared. You are then in a position to receive more of your inheritance.
The Holy Spirit is the executor of My estate to you. He probates My will, the will that Jesus left for you which contains all of my blessings for an abundant life. The Holy Spirit distributes portions to you as you yield to Him in prayer. That allows Him to fulfill His position of executor. He knows what is legally yours and He sets it all in motion by speaking My will regarding your rights as My child, thus My heir.
Give the Executor of My will ample opportunity to meet your needs, your wants and your desires. Those are, after all, My desires for you also.
Love, God

MARTYR SPIRIT

Dear One,

Be cautious of the martyr spirit which wants to attach itself to any of My children who will allow it even a minutes of contemplative thoughts. The martyr spirit gets its power from condemnation and guilt.
The martyr spirit will tell you that you have to suffer for Jesus.
Jesus already did all the suffering necessary to keep My other children from having to suffer. He is the Big Brother who defeated the devil, the bully of the world, for you. Jesus did it all for you, sacrificed His life for you and the rest of My children.
The suffering that you do is in your battle that takes place in your mind. Refuse to believe the accusations of the bully, the lies of the bully, the judgments of the bully, the temptations of the bully and the condemnation of the bully. You really don't need to suffer those because you have My words and My Spirit, which raised Jesus from the dead. When He lives in you, any suffering that the bully imposes on you can be rejected and sent to hell. The only failures in that endeavor happen when you fall for the condemnation that the bully imposes on you when he tells you that you are a sinner and you deserve to suffer. That lie nullifies My truth that you are justified in My sight because you are My child.
Call the devil what he is, a bully who comes to rob and cheat and steal from you.
Tell the bully who you are, My child, blessed and loved by Me, called to the abundant life which is free from his torment.
Choose whether you want to be My triumphant child or whether you want to be a "poor me" person who is called to suffer.
Don't make the victory of Jesus null and void by choosing to suffer by the hands of the bully; he is a cruel taskmaster.
Choose life instead of death. Choose blessings instead of curses. Choose joy instead of sadness. Choose to believe Me rather than to believe the bully and his words sent to defeat you.
I desire that you have life and that you have it more abundantly. Declare that promise of mine to the bully when he tells you that you must suffer. Tell him your brother Jesus already performed that feat and overcame all of the bully's works.
You have heard it said that you should not believe everything somebody tells you. You must not believe everything the negative thoughts tell you. They are bully-words. Refuse to believe them.
Only believe what I say to you in your mind which are positive, encouraging, peaceful, joyful, gracious, good, kind, merciful, and loving words. Those words will overcome the bully every time.
Love, God
Romans 4:24-25; Romans 10:9-10; John 10:10; I John 3:8; Romans 8:1.

THE DANCE OF GRACE

Dear One,
If you have ever gone to a professional ballet production you can discern the dancers who are teachers and the ones who are born performers for the love of the dance.
Sometimes the teachers are rigid, mechanical and never miss a step or a position, but they are lifeless.
The performers who love to dance are the most graceful, fluid, flexible, full of life and grace. They do not concentrate on the rules and dynamics of the dance like the teachers will do. They let the love of the dance flow through their bodies.
Often the teachers, in their effort to move according to the rules and dynamics, will have a glued-on, rigid fake smile, while the ones who love to dance will have joyful, magical smiles at the appropriate times, enjoying every step they perform.
You can compare the teachers of the dance to My children who are under religious law, always judging their own behavior and the behavior of others according to obedience to religious laws, making sure that commandments are rigidly kept.
Then compare in your mind My children who know My grace, My forgiveness, My goodness, My kindness and most of all My love. From those people flows My grace, My forgiveness, My goodness, My kindness and My love toward others. That is what grace is all about, forgetting rigid laws and dancing through life with grace toward everyone.
Always remember that I am your dancing partner in the dance of grace. We can bring life to all men, yes, even the rigid ones. The first thing you must do is to put aside religious, social, educational and political judgments which bring rigidity. Then we can dance freely when you are delivered from anything that binds you.
I love the dance of grace. Join Me and dance through life.
Love, God

FAMILY TIES

Dear One,

When My Love came to earth in the bodily form of Jesus He was not recognized because He was not expected to be different than the religious people anticipated. They expected a Messiah who would obey their religious laws, keep all of their traditions, perform all social proprieties, be acceptable to society and be subject to their religious authorities. Yet He did none of those things. Instead, He healed individuals, delivered them from demons, called Me Father, communed with Me in prayer for hours instead of gathering with religious leaders, chose His own friends to whom He gave authority to assist His work, and He taught people lessons of life that would benefit them instead of teaching about the religious institutions. He was an enigma to religious people. But He was a savior to the common man.
Sometime you miss love in a human form because the person is unkempt, crass, unmannerly, unsophisticated, rebellious, nontraditional by your standards, yet the person knows how to love the unlovely because He has been unloved or unaccepted also.
Don't pass by those people who do not look like the kind of person you would choose to befriend, but watch for love in all human forms.
Sometimes the nonreligious person is the most loving person because he sees others from the inside, not the outer man who doesn't measure up to his religious standard.
Very often religious people are always measuring others by their own standards of religious laws, but the nonreligious people have no religious laws or standards by which to measure others, so they don't judge.
I want you to be like Jesus, laying aside all religious laws by which you have judged people. Then begin to see the inner person in every human being, seeing their love. You will see their need for your acceptance of them. After all, they are your brothers and your sisters. Loving families accept every member, even with their eccentricities.
You might have been one of the ones who rejected Jesus if you had walked the earth when He did. You might have rejected My Son, preferring your religious standards instead.
So be always on guard to accept everyone as a member of your family. They are My children, therefore your siblings. Love is what binds you together with them and with Me.
Love, God
Matthew 21:42; Mark 8;31; Galatians 4:14; Matthew 7:1; Luke 6:31; Hebrews 3:2.

BUSY, BUSY, BUSY

Dear One,
Remembering that the object of gathering together is to encourage each person in the development of a one to one relationship with Me, you must be careful that the organization does not become more important than each person's relationship with Me.
What happens so often in organized groups, the group itself become the focus and I am left out of the center of the organization. Obligations and duties toward making sure that the group is successful becomes the focal point. Attendance becomes a binding law. Perpetuating the organization takes over the lives of all those involved. Then communing with Me, which was the reason for the gathering together at the beginning, takes a back seat, or in many instances it takes no seat at all.
My children often gather together with needs which need to be met but they are so over organized that their basic need for a one on one relationship with Me in which all of their needs are met is quickly forgotten. Only the needs of the organization are at the forefront. Attendance goals and busy, busy, busy functions begin to complicate the lives of everyone. Then the desires of their hearts for oneness with Me is hidden away and ignored in deference to the needs of the organization.
Many organizations build beautiful edifices while most of the people who contribute to the perpetuation of the edifices live in substandard houses. Everyone begins to sacrifice for the organization and I become left out when the organization becomes a god, their reason for living and the foundation of their existence. I am talked about as one who acted on behalf of My children, but only as a memory of things I did in the past.
I want to be the vital, loving, caring, healing, nurturing, guiding and life-giving Father who cares for every one of My children. That can only come through an intimate, personal relationship with Me through My Spirit.
That's what the focus should be in any organization which gathers together in My name, teaching and encouraging everyone to hear My voice. Don't let a person or an organization filter My words for you, interpreting My will for your life.
Direct communication with you is My desire. Let it be your desire, also. When that becomes reality in your life, then hold on, you are in for the thrill of your life because you are the apple of My eye and life will become a joy.

Love, God
Ephesians 1:15-23; Ephesians 3:14-20; John 17;21-23.

KINGDOM BENEFITS

Dear One,
Your thoughts determine the condition of My Kingdom within you. When you have positive, pure, encouraging, hope filled, faith filled thoughts, then you are single mindedly agreeing with My desires for your life and your future. Your prayers are in complete agreement with your thoughts. They travel on the same spiritual channel.
When your mind is polluted with negative, impure, fear filled, worry filled, doubt filled, fretting thoughts, then your mind is in agreement with calamity and bad luck, agreeing with the plans that your enemy the devil has in the works for you.
Every activity in the earth begins with thoughts of men. When your thoughts are in agreement with Me and My angels, then blessings flow freely because there are no blockages.
When you begin to agree with the negative thoughts, then the devil's barriers begin to go up to stop your blessings.
I said where two or three agree on earth a thing is established. When your thoughts are in agreement with My desires for you and My will for you, then We are in agreement and beneficial things are established.
Your speech determines which kingdom you invite to orchestrate your future, either mine or the devil's. My angels and I wait in the wings for your positive, beneficial, faith filled and loving words to be spoken so that We can eagerly begin producing what you have requested. Conversely, the devil and his demons are waiting in another wing of the heavens ready to pounce on your negative, strife filled, divisive, angry, demeaning words so that they can promote what you have designed negatively with your mouth.
You can determine which kingdom you wish to work in your behalf, My Love kingdom or the devil's hate kingdom. It all begins with thoughts, then words, then attitudes, then actions.
"By your words you will be justified and by your words you will be condemned." That truth was spoken by Jesus, Himself, who knew the reality of the spiritual war going on around Him. He refused to participate with the devil in the garden, and so My angels came to minister to Him. He made the right choice.
It all begins with thoughts. Choose My thoughts and words, then watch restoration occur in everything that concerns you. You can choose between blessings and curses by choosing positive thoughts.
Become a watchman for negative thoughts. When they invade your mind, if you will listen you will hear Me say, "What did I say about it?" Then if you will choose to think what My thoughts are on the matter by thinking and speaking My promises, you will bring My kingdom into your life again and reap the benefits.
Love, God

LOVED BY LOVE HIMSELF

Dear One,
I desire that you be free from the opinions and judgments of others.
I said, "Who is man that you are mindful of him?"
When you know My love for you and when you know My approval of you and when you know how much I value you and when you are One with Me, then you are not mindful of the opinions of others because you are free to be yourself, loved and enjoyed by Me.
I desire that you become free from preconceived religious ideologies which have bound you to erroneous ideas about My nature and My personality. Reject any man's doctrine that doesn't teach that I am Love.
I created you a spirit with the ability to personally and intimately know Me because We know each other spirit to spirit without the interference of any other person.
I desire that you become free from worry and fear because they are indications of earth-mindedness rather than heaven mindedness. Worry and fear are indications of a mind which is limited to earthly thoughts and attitudes rather than having a free mind which soars like an eagle with My thoughts and My attitudes.
You are already free because you are a spirit, just like Me. Don't let any man bind you to his opinions and judgments of you. If you do, you will become earth bound.
Instead, go your merry way, knowing that you are loved by Love Himself.
Love, God

PATIENCE PROVISIONS

Dear One,
When you pray in My Holy Spirit, if you could see the activity in the spiritual dimension you wouldn't have any problem with patience because you would see mighty works and know that the blessings are on the way.
Through visions, dreams, My wisdom, My knowledge and My insight I have provided temporary peeks into the spiritual world to observe the activity of My Spirit and angels that are going on around you so that your faith is bolstered. You can see the end results before they occur. So when you spiritually see the end results then faith and patience is no problem.
Constantly having thoughts, attitudes and actions of love and also walking in the peace of My Spirit provide the earthly atmosphere so that the spiritual activities are speedily and properly generated.
You know that the orchestration is directed from earth by My Spirit who prays My perfect will in all matters.
My glory is all around you when My Holy Spirit is given free reign in your life. Then patience is no problem.
Love, God

UNSOLICITED PRAISE

Dear One,

Praise should preferably be from the heart rather than from the emotions.
When praise is from the heart, genuine and full of thanksgiving, it is unadulterated. That pure praise opens the windows of heaven just like heart of a person is opened when you give him or her unrequested, genuine, heartfelt compliments.
Praise from the emotions often comes from a manipulative spirit, praising because it's required by a leader to invoke My blessings. I know the heart of a person, whether it is genuine or whether it is forced. Sometimes religious spirits are in control, forcing praise in order to attain an emotional high for the people. When that happens you are building up the emotions rather than inviting My Holy Spirit to do His work among you and within you. When good results are produced from emotional praise and worship, the results are often only temporary because they are mentally produced rather than spiritually produced by Me.
When you tell others about My mighty works in your behalf, that is true praise and the result is that people are thrilled with the reality of My love.
Your individual forms of genuine praise thrill Me, even if they are sporadic phrases like when you often say, "Dad, you are greatest," or "Father, you are amazing, " or "Dad, you are something else." I know those praises are from a gracious heart and they have not been solicited, They come from a child who is thrilled with My work in your behalf.
I love the times when you are awe struck at My little daily kisses. Now, that's real praise, for you to be so in awe that you are speechless. That's when true praise has flooded your mind and body, flowing from your spirit. That's when healing takes place in your inner being. That's when you are 100% in unity with Me. Those times are precious to Me as well as to you.
Let praise be spontaneous, not programmed. Let praise be unsolicited by others. You know the difference and I know the difference.

Love, God

CHITTER-CHATTER

Dear One,
Be very cautious to keep positive thoughts about a person for whom you are praying.
When you pray for a person and then think negatively about that person, it's like placing mindless chitter-chatter between the person and Me and it makes it harder for Me to do My beneficial work for him.
You can relate that principle to radio signals or TV signals getting interference from storms in the earth. There is loss of communication between the signals and the receivers.
It's the same principle spiritually. Negative thoughts and negative words spoken about the person or a situation for whom you are praying send interference into the heavens so that there are problems in effectively answering your prayers relating to that person or situation.
Love thoughts and love words keep the roads between heaven and earth clear so that My blessings can flow easily.
Remember that James said that a double minded person receives nothing.
I want your prayers answered more than you do. Keep heavenly thoughts about the person or situation.
Love, God

SELF PITY PIT

Dear One,

"Poor me" thoughts and "poor me" attitudes and "poor me" words never got anyone anywhere except deeper into the self pity pit.
"Poor you" thoughts and "poor you" attitudes and "poor you" words never got anyone anywhere except deeper into the pit of self pity.
Sympathy and empathy can cripple a person if they are not accompanied by thoughts, attitudes and words of hope and faith for the future.
Jesus said, "Let not your heart be troubled. You believe in God. Believe also in Me."
Mere sympathy cannot heal you or another person. Faith and hope can heal you and others.
Do like Jesus did, embrace others, then serve words of faith and hope to them and watch them rebound from their devastation.

Love, God

LIFE SUCKING WORRY

Dear One,
You've heard the song, "Turn your eyes upon Jesus. Look full in His wonderful face. And the things of earth will grow strangely dim in the light of His glory and grace." Yes, it is true.
However, you have never heard a song that said, "Turn your eyes upon worries. Look full in their dastardly face. And the things of God will grow completely dim in the light of worry's life sucking ways.'' Yet it's true, also.
The more you worry about things or people, the more your thoughts drift away from Me and into the quicksand of worry. Then you are quickly unable to get out of the worry because you have made a temporary covenant with it.
The secret is to never make a covenant with worry, but instead to keep your eyes upon Me and look full into My face. Then the things of earth such as worry, fretting, fear, guilt, anger and strife will grow strangely dim in the light of My glory and grace.
Remember that where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. Seek the treasures of peace, wisdom and joy through a relationship with Me and your heart will remain there also. Then I can work things out that concern you because your treasure and your heart are with Me.
United We stand. Divided you fall.
Love, God
Psalm 37;1-8; Isaiah 26:3-4; Psalm 91; Matthew 6:21

GIFTS ARE TO BE APPRECIATED AND USED

Dear One,

Parents give gifts to their children,. When the parents see the children using their gifts and enjoying the gifts, then the parents rejoice that the gift is utilized and appreciated.
I give to My children the greatest gift ever given to humans, the gift what I promised, the gift of the Holy Spirit. He is My life, My eternal life living inside of you.
When you utilize the functions and varieties of My gift it causes Me to rejoice because it shows Me that you value My gift as much as I value Him and as much as I value you.
When you pray in the language of My Holy Spirit to bring salvation to some area of a person's life, I rejoice because you have brought salvation to a person using My gift as I meant for you to do.
When you glean My wisdom or knowledge from Him, then I also rejoice because you have brought My insight into your life via the Holy Spirit.
When you use the power of My Spirit to heal or bring deliverance to a person, I rejoice that My Spirit has been allowed to do His work.
When you speak My prophesy which brings comfort to you or to others, then I rejoice because I know that you have called upon My Spirit to minister My peace.
When you speak diverse tongues and then interpret as a sign to the unbeliever, then I rejoice because you have brought My supernatural words into the world to do their work.
When you pray the words of the Holy Spirit without ceasing, then I rejoice because you have put My gift to use in your behalf and on the behalf of others.
Yes, I rejoice when you use My gift just like you rejoice when your children or grandchildren use a gift that you have given to them.
I rejoice so that you might rejoice!

Love, God

BELIEVE GOD INSTEAD OF MEN

Dear One,

What great and unshaken faith you have when the weather analysts say that a huge ice and snowstorm is coming. you run to the grocery store, the convenience store, the gas station, stocking up on essentials because you believe the weather predictors. You don't even think twice, you buy until the shelves are empty and the gas tstations are depleted.
You believe vitamin manufacturer and a pharmacist who tell you that you will be disease free if you take their pills. You don't think twice.
You believe a politician who makes the most unreasonable, impossible promises and you vote for that person, even though your logic says that those promises are never going to be fulfilled.
You believe mere humans immediately, knowing that they are subject to mistakes, subject to lying, subject to impossible promises.
Just think what would happen in your life if you had that same degree of faith in My words when I said, "Do not judge anyone or others will judge you."
If you will only believe that spiritual principle of seed sowing that I tried to explain when I instructed My children to turn the other cheek if someone strikes you, or when I said to forgive so that others will forgive you, or when I said "Do not return evil for evil done to you but you should return good for evil."
My predictions are more reliable than the weather analysts, the pharmacists, the politicians or any human.
Very often the weather predictions don't develop. Most often the pills upon which you completely rely don't do a thing and sometimes they are dangerous. The promises of the politicians never come to fruition, but you look to them for your earthly salvation.
Yet My instructions are 100% true. The principles of seed sowing and harvest which were instituted from the foundation of the world are reliable. You will reap what you have sown, whether it be judgment, vengeance, evil actions, etc. , or whether it be goodness and kindness, mercy and love. They will boomerang back on you in one form or another, often in a form which you will not recognize is as a result of your seed sowing attitudes and actions.
You may not see the judgment plants tomorrow but they will appear eventually. When you return evil actions for evil done to you, the seeds you sow will definitely eventually return evil back to you in some form.
When you return good for evil done to you, the good seeks will grow good plants in your garden of life which you may not recognize as the return from your good seeds that were sown. However, you will find yourself saying, "Life is good," when goodness and mercy overtake you.
It's the seeds you have sown. You must remember that.
You believe the weather predictors whose predictions are based on things that are unseen with your natural eyes. When you believe the vitamin manufacturers you are believing in the unseen ingredients becoming beneficial to your body.
When you believe My truths, My instructions, My insights you must also believe that the unseen will become real in your life.
Believe Me without thinking twice like you believe the weather forecaster, the vitamin manufacturers and the politicians. My words are guaranteed to change your life from bad to good because My principles are eternal. They are power and they are given to you because I love you and I want the best for you.

Love, God

SMART PHONES

Dear One,

I have given to My children the greatest gift ever given in the history of man. He is the divine, immeasurable, all functioning, all powerful, all loving, all wise Holy Spirit. He is Jesus in the Spirit. He is My Spirit whom I sent to be your spiritual smart phone.
The Holy Spirit will lead and guide you, just like a GPS. He will lead and guide you with His wisdom, knowledge and insight. He will entertain you with His humor. He will play and replay in your mind the images that I send to teach you and instruct you, just like the camera of a smart phone. He will show you things to come, just like the weather predictions predict the weather.
He will keep you in unity with Me and with all of your spiritual siblings who are called the Body of Christ through daily conversations with Me. He will alert you to spiritually catastrophic happenings so that you will stay alert to thwart any evil activities that are planned to destroy you, just like the alarm in a smart phone will do.
My Holy Spirit will meet every imaginable spiritual need just like the smart phone can meet all of your technical needs.
However, My Spirit gives you powers over evil and powers over generational curses. The smart phone cannot do that, other than giving you knowledge which is human power. Smart phones do not have supernatural power like My Holy Spirit does.
You have My guidance, My wisdom, My insight, My truth, My supernatural power, My interpretation of past and current events, My prophetic words and images of future events, My protection from evil works, My healing powers, My discernment powers, and My spiritual words, all from the indwelling of My Spirit. Plus, you also have My love, My peace, My joy, My goodness, My faith, My patience, My mercy and My kindness from My Spirit who lives in you.
When Jesus said He would not leave people comfortless, He was telling you that My Spirit would be everything that He was to His disciples, except that He promised that His power would be in you rather than alongside you.
You have it all, everything necessary for life and godliness.
If you will depend upon My Spirit within you as much as you depend upon your smart phone, you will experience the abundant life that I promised.

Love, God

AUTHORITATIVE POWER

Dear One,

Assuming your place of authority in the earth as the head and not the tail, as above and not beneath, as the authority not the slave of the evil one, is where I want you to be.
Keeping the position of authority over the principalities and powers of the air that affect earthly affairs is a powerful appointment. Knowing that what you say has power to destroy or build, to hurt or to help, to enslave or to free, involves direct revelation lest you become lax in your responsibilities.
I have given you My authority in the person of the Holy spirit who lives in you and He will lead you into all truth. He will reveal to you My wisdom and My knowledge in every situation so that every good work will overcome every evil work that presents itself. He will tell you how to skirt around injurious situations and traps that are set for you. He will reveal the keys to My kingdom, healing secrets, healing touches, miraculous occurrences.
He will reveal to you when to let go and when to hold on.
He will reveal the rivers of healing waters and He will point out the destructive waters that flow from your mouth. There are no idle, ineffective words. They either produce good or they produce evil.
You are the authority in the earth. It was restored to My children when I sent the Holy Spirit. Take your authority and operate as a loving, peaceful and wise authoritarian so that goodness and kindness will be prevalent in the earth.
Jesus prayed that My will would be done in earth as it is in heaven. You can use My power and authority to see that it is.

Love, God

TRUSTING IN GOD

Dear One,

I promised you the Sabbath rest where you can cease from your labors. That is what the Holy Spirit brings to you in His delivery of My words, My revelations, My guidance and My leading. You receive your inheritance of rest from your emotional labors, deliverance from the effects of sin's maipulations, and the power to change bad things into good things just by opening your mouth and letting the Holy Spirit speak My will His language.
All you need to do is ask for and believe in your mind for the answered prayers, open your mouth in prayers instituted by the Holy Spirit, walk in love and live in love, then let My angels do the rest.
Keep your mental eyes on the prize, the high calling, the best that men can attain and they will be yours.
Mental designs are all part of creativity. You are My child, so you are creative. You can see the answers to your prayers in your mind before they become reality in the earth. That is resting from your labors: merely praying, resting in unity with Me and walking in love with all men.
Then you will not be belabored. You will be at rest.
Love, God
