FRETS BRING REGRETS

Dear One
     My advice to all of My children to not fret is valuable advice.  The inclination to fret and worry comes from a lack of faith,l faith being confidence in Me. 
     When you intimately know Me and when you trust Me to know how to handle every troublesome situation in your life, then there is no room in your mind for fretting and worrying.  There is confidence in Me to orchestrate all things necessary to bring about an excellent result. 
     You must realize, though, that there will always be outward signs that a bad situation has not changed for the better but outward signs will often look worse.  That is no indication of impending doom to My children of faith. 
     My children who know My power and My ability will always know that, no matter what outward circumstances look like, I am working behind the scenes in the situation to perfect everything according to My will. 
     Your confidence in Me will keep the beneficial activity working until everything is accomplished for your good.
     Frets lead to regret.
     Faith lead to blessings.
                                                                                       Love, God

THE PRIVATE TUTOR

Dear One,
     You should always be eager to learn.
     My children are often unteachable in relation to certain life lessons that I try to teach them. 
     There are areas in which you are very teachable.  There are areas in which you are very unteachable so you have chosen to learn them by experience.  Those are hard lessons to learn because some emotional or physical hurts accompany them. The times when you have chose experiences as the best teacher rather than allowing Me to be your tutor, often you come to Me to expand in those areas so that you can fully understand the intricacies of the cause and effect.
     There are areas in which you have been unteachable because you thought they applied to others and not necessarily to you.  You have seen a weakness in the personalities of others, but not in yourself.
     You don't realize that all things are common to all people. The situation just has not yet presented itself in your life which would cause you to react like others do.  You suddenly become teachable in that area when you are involved in the same problem.  Often the situation presents itself in your life because you have judged the actions of others and the same activity boomeranged back in your life. All of a sudden you become teachable in that area because you are a participant in it.
     My Spirit is the perfect teacher.  He is the private tutor for all of My children.  He has your best interests at heart.  He wants to save you the discomfort of your having to learn by experience.  It's too painful for you to have to learn that way.
     I'm your Father.  I desire that you and I have intimate learning sessions.  You always gain wisdom, insight, knowledge and revelation; plus, you always leave happy, joyful and at peace.  That's the rest that you always seek.
                                                                                                  Love, God

GRATEFUL AND THANKFUL

Dear One,
     Gratefulness grows and grows and grows.  It never stops growing because gratefulness is the pathway to more blessings because you have accessed My endless well of blessings when you are grateful.
     It's not that I pour onto you more and more blessings when you are grateful.  The secret is that your gratefulness puts a suction on all the wonderful things that I have already set aside for you as your inheritance. 
     Genuine attitudes of thanksgiving open the gates to your life so that blessings that had been previously blocked can find the open pathway to the door of your life. 
     Gratefulness is a precursor to great-full-ness in your life.  It is so easy to be grateful.  You can just reflect back on the wonderful things that I have done in your life and the lives of your family. 
     My children shouldn't force gratefulness just to get My blessings.  I know your heart and the purity of your heart.
     Good things are attracted to you when you live in an attitude of true gratefulness.  It might be the parking place in front of the store or the clerk opening a checkout line just when you walk up, or it might be a miraculous healing or even being thankful to me for putting into human bodies the ability to heal themselves from minor injuries.
     If you have a problem finding things to be grateful about, then you and I need to have a long talk.  There might be demonic influences blinding your eyes to the marvelous things that I do for you every day, the small things and the huge things.
     Have you thought about it this way, when your thoughts are on the wonderful things that I have done for you, your mind is stayed on Me.  I promised that when your mind is stayed on Me that you will have perfect peace. 
     Do you need peace in your mind?  One sure way to get it is to think, speak and sing your gratefulness.  Then it will be, "Open, I say," to the gates of your life for rivers of blessings to flow.
     Love, God

PERFECT LOVE

Dear One,
     Perfect love casts out fear because fear is bondage to death. 
     With My children who know My love, there is no fear of death because they know that they will never die but will merely transition into My heaven, which is into My family of love .
      Fear always thinks of punishment or destruction, but My children know that because of the substitution of Jesus on their behalf there is absolution for all sins and there is no punishment for them, only punishment for the devil who is the one responsible for all sins.
      For My children who know My love there is eternal love, rest, comfort and peace while in the body and out of the body.
      Mercy should be the attitude of My children in the earth because it is the prevailing attitude of the atmosphere of My family home.  There is never the thought of punishment.
      My children should teach, preach and talk My love so that others will be released from the fear of death and enter into My complete rest while they live in the earth.   They need to know that when their bodies fails them, they will be transported into complete happiness. 

                                                                                           Love, God

JUMPING TO CONCLUSIONS

Dear One,
     When you jump to conclusions, the deduction is usually wrong because the  jump was based on emotions.  Emotions will cloud reasoning and wisdom every time because reasoning and wisdom come from a different part of the brain than emotions. 
     The term "jumping" itself connotes a hurried plunge into a quick deduction which is rarely based on facts or wise insight.
     When people jump to conclusions and accuse someone or quickly judge the actions of  someone, there has been no investigation, no interview of witnesses, no gathering of true facts, no opportunity for accurate information.  In that instance there is more opportunity for damaging errors which will affect your attitude and your actions toward the people involved in the situation.
     The reasoning part of your brain will take previously learned facts and form a more righteous deduction in relation to a bad situation.  When My principles such as do not judge, do not condemn and forgive seventy times seven times, when those instructions are resident in your brain to be pulled up as part of your reasoning every moment of the day, then emotions will not rule you and determine a bad outcome of a trying situation. 
     You must realize that there are people who have not ever heard my wise counsel of do not condemn, do not judge and to forgive many times a day, so they are left with only the damaging energy of their emotions to rule them, and they will return evil for evil and reap the fruit of their actions.  It is those kinds of people that Jesus asked me to forgive because they don't know what they are doing.
     As My child you must always slow your mind down, eliminating emotional responses to situations and listen to My inner voice which will tell you Truth every time.  Then you will have reasoned with Me, like I advised through Isaiah.  I will keep you from making mistakes in stressful situations when you are tempted to act out of emotions rather then out of reasoning with Me.
     Refuse damaging emotional responses to situations, listen to My still, small voice inside of you which will impress upon you My understanding, wisdom, knowledge and insight.  Then a bad situation will work for your good because you will return good for evil done to you or others. Good will triumph over evil every time.  There is My power in good.  There is only the devil's power in evil. 
     Love, God

WHO'S YOUR FATHER?

Dear One,
     Render to your government what is the government's, but render to Me what is Mine.   That applies to devotion.   Pay your taxes and obey the laws of your country, but be careful about who is the object of your devotion. 
     Extreme devotion to nations in the form of patriotism is often more important to people than devotion to Me.  The word patriotism comes from patriarch, which connotes fatherhood. If you are totally devoted to a nation by reason of patriotism, looking to that country to be the answer to all of your problems, you will be sorely disappointed because the people governing your country are humans and they are made from earth just like you are. They are no more equipped to be your father than you are able to answer all of your own needs.
     Your country cannot be your savior.  If you make it your savior, you are putting your trust in human beings again.  Be cautious that you don't substitute devotion to your nation for your devotion to Me.
     The disciples who walked and talked and were taught by Jesus made that mistake.  After His miraculous resurrection, their main concern was if their country would be restored to power.  They thought Jesus was more concerned about their country than He was about My kingdom, which is My family.  Like Me, Jesus was concerned about saving My children from the destruction of the devil but the disciples were concerned about their country being restored to power.  When Jesus had told them to go to Jerusalem to wait for the promise of the Father, they thought the promise of the Father was to give land and power back to their country.  However, they went to wait for My promise.
     My real promise, which was instituted by Jesus, was the coming of the Holy Spirit into the earth to live in all My children who invite Him. My promise was to grant power over evil to My children, not grant power to one nation over another nation.  The disciples had substituted patriotism for their nation for a relationship with Me, the real Heavenly Patriarch.
     Yes, the right amount of devotion for your country is good, being thankful that you are free to make choices is important.  But don't think all of your future happiness and prosperity depend on who is in a governing position in your country.  Your relationship with Me determines that, not the people who govern your country. 
     My children should still ask themselves, "Who is My Father?  Is it my country that I have made my savior or is it Father God through Jesus Christ, the real Savior?"  That's what your future depends upon.
     Love, God

SUPERNATURAL POWER

Dear One,
     There is mental power in your soul, which is your mind, 
     There  is supernatural power in Me. 
     You are made in My image, so you have a measure of faith, which is the natural power in  your mind.  There are many teachings and philosophies relating to the power of the human mind.
     There is the power of positive thinking to bring good. 
     There is the power of negative thinking which will bring bad things into your life.   Negative thinking is not of me.
     There is the negative power in the mind which furthers the power of addiction.  That is not of me.
     There is the teaching of the power of your thoughts and words.  That revelation came from Me because I created the world with words. You are created in My image, so you are a creator with your own words, either for destruction or construction.
     There are people who are gifted in the power of the mind so that they can make objects move at their command.  Those people have developed the power of their natural mind to a high degree.
     When you have My supernatural power in you, made available only in My Holy Spirit, then there is additional power available to you.  When He lives inside of you, you have the power of My Spirit, who participated with Me in creating your world and created all human beings, the same power that was resident in Jesus and raised Jesus from the dead.  
     Now, that is power, real power, the power to overcome every obstacle, every disease, every sin, every negative situation, every imperfection and everything that is sent by the devil to defeat you.   You can end the reign of evil in your life if you will but listen to Me for My instructions. 
     When you hear My voice you become completely plugged into My power and nothing can harm you.  Evil will fall at your feet to be trampled on. 
     We are all in this together.  If you will act in harmony with Me, we will end suffering in your life and in your world .

ROADBLOCKS AND BARRIERS

Dear One,
     My supply never ends.   It is endless.
     The dispensation of My blessings is like any unending river that has no beginning and no end. My blessings just flow forever and ever from My heaven to you.
     My Instruction Book is quoted as saying that it rains on the just and the unjust.  It's the same with My blessings, they are poured out on all humanity.  However, there are barriers and roadblocks that My children can put up themselves which will block the blessings from flowing into their lives.  I have spoken of them many times in the same Instruction Book. None of the roadblocks come from My heaven.   They only come from your world and are instigated by you. 
     Jesus spoke of them many times and My Spirit spoke of them many times through the writers of My Book. 
     Jesus spoke at length about judging.  That is one of the barriers you can set up that stops the answer to your prayers from being manifested.    In other words, when you judge someone, you set up a judgment roadblock that blocks your blessings from coming to you.  That is the return on your judgment.  He said, "Judge not that you be not judged."
     He said that you will be blessed when you are merciful.  In other words, mercy will keep the gates open to your life for My blessings to flow.  In reverse, when you are unmerciful to others, up goes the roadblock, stopping your blessings.
     He also said to not return evil for evil but to return good for evil.   He was teaching you that when you engage in evil deeds, even when evil deeds are done to you, that you are installing another barrier which will block My answers to your prayers from coming to you.  When you return good for evil done to you, you keep the avenues clear for My blessings to overtake you.
     He said to love people who do not show love to you  He said not to be like the people who only love and show favor to those who love them.  My love is free flowing, flowing from Me to all people.  Your love should be the same way, loving the unlovable people  just as much as you love the lovable ones.  Being selective with your love can put up barriers also.  My love through you must be free flowing.
      You have dominion in the earth.  I gave you free will to choose blessings or curses.  Choose to bless others and you will receive My free flowing blessings which I have already given to you.  Don't shut off the supply road.
     Love, God

PERFECT WILL OF GOD

Dear One
     Following My leading, My guidance and wise instruction will guarantee perfect results every time.  Perfect results are always the answer to your prayers with blessings flowing into your life in abundance.
     When a result is good, you often say it is "just perfect."  My insight and knowledge will make perfect results every time.
     When you display My love, My faith, My peace, My joy, My mercy, My goodness and My kindness, then you set up a magnetic attraction that brings perfection into your life in everything that concerns you.
     Love is always the great equalizer.  It is always the scale upon which to weigh My perfect, spiritually mature behavior which will emanate from inside of you to the outside of you, drawing all men to you to receive your love, which is really My love.
     I said that I want you to be perfect in your life, wanting nothing.  I have provided the ways and the means by which to attain perfection, which simply is to be led by My Spirit.  So the way to inherit all of My promises is to be led by My Spirit and to pray in My Spirit.  Yes, I have already given you everything necessary for the abundant life and godliness.
     My Holy Spirit as your teacher, your guide, your shepherd, your protector, the dispenser of My love, My mercy, My joy, My kindness, My goodness,
My faith, My patience and My peace is My facilitator of everything you need to ensure that you receive what I have promised to you and to of all My children.
                                                                                             Love, God

GOD'S WAYS ARE PERFECT

Dear One,
     There are easy ways to do things.
     There are convenient ways to do things.
     There are sympathetic ways to do things.
     There are logical ways to do things.
     There are exciting ways to do things.
     There are emotional ways to do things.
     Most of the time, because of limited human insight and reasoning, none of those ways are the best way to do things.
     However, there is a perfect way to do things and that is My way of doing things. That's what was meant when it was written that you must be perfect like I am perfect, always doing things the most highly effective way, which is perfection. It is never according to merely following rules or following religious laws or traditional societal strategies.  I meant that when you are led by My Spirit in everything you do, that every troublesome situation will work out to perfection. 
     For instance, under the old religious laws and customs the rule was an eye for an eye, returning equal injury for an injury.  But Jesus taught that My perfect way, which is to forgive when someone injures you, is completely opposed to the old ways.  Jesus knew through the teaching of My Spirit insIde of Him that returning evil for evil only promotes more evil, multiplying it over and over.  He knew that when a person returns good for evil, that good will be multiplied and evil will be stopped in its tracks.
     My ways are never cowardly. They are using My spiritual strategies in an effort to stop evil every time it rears its destructive ways in your life in an effort to entice you to join in the evil actions and promote its agenda.  When you refuse to participate in the evil and instead return good for evil done to you, then you take the power away from the devil.  That is courageous, not cowardly.  It is good spiritual battle strategy.
     I can't force you to do things My way.  I can only impress you to do things My way..  Since My ways are the perfect and most effective way, you should choose to hear My instructions and do likewise, defeating evil every time.
    Love, God

SPEEDY HEALING

Dear One,
     When accidents happen remember that they are just that, accidents. 
     After you learn a valuable lesson on how it happened, don't revisit in your mind the whys, hows, wherefores or be condemned about it.  Forgive yourself or whoever is responsible and go on with joy that you survived the mishap.
     If you keep revisiting the event in your mind, you relive it and you impede your healing if you are injured.
     Refuse to blame yourself or anyone else or you will become depressed.  Blame for anyone or anything will keep you bound to the accident, thus impeding your healing.
     Instead of blaming or revisiting the scene of the accident in your mind, contribute to the healing of your emotions, the soundness or your mind and bodily healing by submitting your mind to Me for My wisdom and insight into other things.  Concentrate on My supernatural abilities rather than your human limitations.
     You will be amazed at the rapidity of your healing when you keep your thoughts fixated on Me and My healing abilities rather than keeping our mind on the unfortunate accident.  Just think about it, do you want to think on unfortunate things or do you want to think on things that are loaded with fortune, which are My blessings for you.
     Don't live in the past by replaying any accident, any emotional hurt, any betrayal or any injury.  Live in the present with great hopes for your future, which is what I promised.  You will constantly win the battle of the mind with My power.
     You know that there is a battle for your mind between the devil and Me.  Whoever you let win determines your future, whether it is blessed or whether it is cursed.   Think things that are of love, of mercy, of healing, joyful, pure, good and of a positive report and you will win the battle.   Then healing will be speedy.
     Love, God

CHILDREN, NOT PUPPETS

Dear One,
     Choose life and live.  Choose death and die.
     It's been that way since the beginning of time in the earth.
     When you listen to My advice you choose life and blessings.  That's because I'm your Father and I want the best things for you.  Your earthly parents, who wanted the best things for you, gave you guidance and advice so that you would prosper and be happy.  My advice is so much more effective than earthly parents because I can show you how to walk in the right paths that will benefit you and how you can avoid the wrong paths that will destroy you. That is why I sent My Spirit to live inside of you, to be My direct and personal voice to guide you, teach you and protect you.
     So when you choose to listen to Me, to allow Me to really be your Father, then you are choosing blessings, happiness and the abundant life.
      When you choose to listen to the evil one who came into the earth through Adam, then you will reap his gifts, which are destruction and death.
      Because people became the authority in the earth when I gave them dominion over the earth, your will is the deciding factor between good and evil, which you will follow.  The choice to be happy is like tapping an oil well. You have the choice every minute of the day.  When you choose to be happy, regardless of the circumstances, it's like choosing your team in a game.  My angelic hosts are immediately called into your life to bring My blessings to make you happy.
     If you decide to choose to be sad and morose, then the devil's demons rush into your life to make sure your desire is fulfilled to be unhappy.  They love doing their jobs of cursing you and making you sad.
      Think of it this way, by this diagram:
                  YOU AND YOUR WILL, YOUR CHOICE
                            /                                          \
                           /                                            \
                          /                                              \
MY WAY                           vs.                   SATAN'S WAY
The well of blessings           vs.                   The well of curses
The well of joy                    vs.                   The well of sadness
The well of love                   vs.                  The well of hatred and strife
The well of abundance         vs.                  The well of lack and poverty
The well of salvation            vs.                  The well of every curse in hell
     In order not to make puppets out of My children I gave them free will, the right to choose Me as their Father or choose the devil as their father.
      It's still your choice.  Choose happiness this day and watch happiness come into your life.
     This sums it up: "Therefore with joy shall you draw waters out of the wells of salvation and in that day shall you say, 'Praise the Lord.'"
                                                                                      Love, God
Deuteronomy 28:1-20; Deuteronomy 30; Isaiah 12:3-4.

CHOOSE HAPPINESS

Dear One,
     "Therefore with joy shall you draw waters out of the wells of salvation, and in that day shall you say, 'Praise the Lord.'"
     Choose to be happy every morning. 
     You can choose to be sad and morose if you want, but things will continue to be sad and morose all day long unless you determine to be happy along the way.
     Let Me tell you how it works.  Remember that I have given you free will, the right to make choices.  So if you choose to be happy the first thing in the morning, then joy from My Spirit inside of you will begin to engulf your mind and will overflow into your own emotions.  That's what the scripture at the beginning of this instruction says to you.  It says that you can choose to draw waters out of the well of My Spirit inside of you and you will begin to praise Me instead of your griping or complaining or enjoying your place of unhappiness.
     When you depend on outward circumstances to make you happy, then you make the circumstances or other people the lords of your life.
     When I told My children to choose life I was telling them that your own choices determine your present and your future.  It all begins with changing your thoughts and attitudes and your confession of words.  When you choose happiness, only choosing happy thoughts, happy memories, happy people with whom to interact, then you will experience joy abundant and full of glory.
      After you choose to be happy, changing your thoughts, your attitudes your words and your actions, then things will begin to happen to confirm your choice of happiness.  My wells of salvation will begin to open and you will receive My blessings instead of the devil's curses which were what made you sad.  
     Like I said, choose happiness every morning and happy circumstances will overtake you.   With joy shall YOU draw waters out of the wells of salvation.  Choose happiness and draw life giving waters.
     Love, God

BEARING FALSE WITNESS

Dear One,
     Suspicious can be right and suspicions can be completely wrong.
     But, remember, out of the mouths of two or three witnesses a thing is established.
     If you hear the same thing from two or three reliable witnesses, then you can begin to give some credence to the suspicion. At that point you will think there is possibly some truth to it, but you still do not have the liberty of spreading it as complete truth until you investigate and hear the truth from the participants in the situation.
     For My children who are led by My Spirit, then they come to Me and ask Me what they are to do in that situation, whether to interfere or whether to pray and let Me and My angelic hosts handle it. I will reveal the truth of the matter from some source and it will be revealed to you what are the spiritual aspects behind the scenes in the situation.
     There are repercussions to people verbally publishing suspicions that are wrong.  They could be injured physically, spiritually for sure for spreading lies and repeapng the crop from those seeds,  They could be injured emotionally by opening the door for the enemy to curse them with guilt.  They could be injured socially by their reputations being ruined.
     I want My children protected from sowing bad seeds and reaping the same harvest in their lives. That is why I cautioned My children about bearing false witness, asking them to please confirm something by other witnesses.  I want to protect My children from making mistakes that could ruin their lives.
     Everything I do and everything I say to My children is to protect them.  I want them protected from the evil one and his enticements to act quickly, bearing  false witness about something that has not been established.
     Love, God

TEMPTATIONS

Dear One,

      Temptations are plentiful.  Yes, even the devil's testings of your faith are plentiful.
      They are present in your life to entice you to join in agreement with the kingdom of destruction which has been in existence in the earth since the beginning. determined to destroy My children a little at a time. 
      The ways of your enemy are subtle, sometimes beginning with a thought of something bad happening.  Then he will convince you that the image in your mind will actually come to fruition. You yield to fear, becoming unified with the author of fear which will bring what you fear upon you. 
      Another way your enemy gets you to participate in your own destruction is  to bombard your mind with judgmental thoughts about others until you yield to the temptation  and concentrate on judging someone.  Your thoughts may be on someone's attire, their behavior, the color of their skin, the peculiarity of their customs or their unwise choices.  Because of your judgment, you become an active participant in your own destruction, which is to be judged because you have sown judgment seeds.
     One of the first attitude adjustment teachings Jesus taught was, "Judge not, that you be not judged."  He was trying to teach all of My children that judgment is of the devil and being in agreement with him by judging others will allow him to bring  judgment upon you.
     The first thought of judgment should be cast out before it becomes an attitude, then spoken in words. If the thought of judgment is not cast out, then actions follow of your talking about the person you judged, enticing others to join in the judgment. The next step in the situation is that someone will judge you or the devil will judge you by bringing some destructive event into your life.
     You must be a constant watchman, being conscious of your thoughts.  Some are from hell and some are from heaven.  Let My Spirit judge which ones are from Me for your benefit and which ones are from hell for your destruction.
     Let the thoughts remain in your mind which are pure, good, loving toward others, edifying and of a good report.  Then you will not participate in your own destruction and you wil be known as My children because you are led by My Spirit.
     Love, God

TRUE VALUE

Dear One,
     Value is in the eye of the beholder just like beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
     To one person, because of sentimental attachment or family memories, one object might be worth thousands of dollars.  To another person the same commodity might be junk, worth nothing.
     Historical value of an object might be in the millions of dollars to one person, but to another person who is uneducated in antiques it might be worth nothing.
     So value is in the eye and mind of the beholder.
     Because Jesus died for you, that should relate to you how valuable you are to Me. You are worth more to Me than all of the precious jewels, all the oil wells, all the money from in all the countries in the world, all of the highly praised antiques, all the land acquisitions, all the art work.  You are the apple of My eye.  I love you so much that I sacrificed My Son's earthly life for you.  That should give you an idea of how much I love you.
     Since value is in the eye and mind of the beholder, you should look at every other person in the world as a highly prized child of mine, worth more than all the valued commodities in the world.  I created the world for each of them, just like I created it for you.
     Let your gaze upon and your conversation with every person reflect My assessment of their value, more valuable than the combined wealth of every billionaire in the earth.
Even when a person is participating in the most vile sin that you can imagine, that person is still worth your love and My love because he doesn't know that he is joined to the works of the devil.  When you judge him, you make yourself a participant of the same works.  Yet I still highly prize and value you, just like I do him.
     When you love another person with My love, then you have shown that person My assessment of him, My evaluation of him.  That person will begin to know his own value in my eyes, and he or she will love himself.  The result will be that he or she will begin to love others.  Then My family love will be spread around.  Another result of your unconditional love toward that person is that you are beginning the building of My dwelling place within that person, the housing of My Holy Spirit.
     Behold the value of every person in My eye and you will not judge.
     Love, God

FAMILY VALUES

Dear One,
     Your family is very important to you.  You would die for your children.
     My family is the most important thing to Me.  It is My life, My existence. I created a world tailor made for My children before I created them.  Then I created them to enjoy their world and to be the administrator of all good things in their world.  I said that they would be the boss of their world, that they would have loving dominion over everything in their world simply because of their having My intelligence and their ability to commune with Me in order to learn how to lovingly care for everything in their world. Your world is My wonderful gift to you that I generously gave in the beginning, your own world with you being the caretaker of it. That was My loving intent for you and all of My children.
     Even after My children allowed evil to enter into their previously pure, unadulterated world, I loved them and valued them as the most important thing to Me, above everything else in your universe or My heavens.
     As evil increased in the world I began My solution for the rebellion of My children, all of whom had made evil their lords, having dominion over them rather than My children having dominion over evil.  My solutions wasn't to destroy My children.  Iit was to save them from the instigator of the evil, the devil and his demons. 
     My effective solution was to send My Spirit to earth in the person of My Son Jesus, invading the earth with its abundance of evil.  Jesus overcame evil in more ways than were documented while He was physically alive in the earth.  He cast out the evil spiritual beings from My children, making them whole and perfect again.  It was impossible for Him to cast demons out of all men in the earth, so because of My love for you and the rest of My children, He died for you and all humanity. He invaded satan's territory just like satan had invaded the territory of My children.  Jesus took back the position of authority in the earth and He triumphed over evil.  Then We sent My Holy Spirit into the earth to live inside of all men who would invite Him.  My Spirit living inside of people gives them authority again, having dominion again over all evil.  Because My Spirit was with Me when the world was created, the author of it, He gives My children author-ity again to be the lords of the earth, the caregivers of it with all authority as in the beginning.
     It's a family affair.  We are a family, those who are still alive, those who have departed, the spirits of men who are made perfect, Jesus, My Spirit and Me.  We are family.  You are made in My image, to have authority over evil in every form and to have dominion over fleshly passions.
      You weren't meant to have dominion over any of My other children just like I don't have dominion over you.  I only lead you, guide you and direct you.  I don't force My will upon you.  That comes from the evil one.
      We started this discussion about how important your family is to you and how important My family is to Me.
       Let My other children know how important they are to you.  Then they will know how important they are to Me.  They will value themselves just like I value them, far above diamonds and rubies and other precious jewels.
       Love, God

ALPHA AND OMEGA

Dear One,
     Always remember who has our back.
     It's Me.
     I said that I am your rear guard, your ever present help in time of need, your beginning and end, your alpha and omega. 
     I am covering you in front and from behind.
     First I must be invited to be your protector.
     The way you ask is by praying, which is the ultimate invitation.  You can reinforce it by speaking your allegiance to Me as your protector.  That declaration rings out in the heavens for all spiritual beings to hear. 
     Thanking Me for being your protector also reinforces My protection because your spiritual enemies don't like for you to acknowledge Me as your loving and protective Father.  They have to retreat from their persecution of you when you are thankful to Me, because your thanksgiving to Me is like bombs in their ears.  They know that they are defeated when you are in a thankful and praising attitude toward Me.
     When you have asked for My protection, when you speak of your faith in Me as your protector and when you thank Me for being your protector, all of the cloud of witnesses spoken of in My Instruction Book join Me in My loving duties as the protectors of My child.
      I have your best interests at heart, but so do Jesus, the Holy Spirit, the redeemed from the old covenant, the angels and the spirits of just men made perfect.  They all join with Me in "having your back", protecting you from the back but also going ahead of you and leading you in the paths of righteousness.
     I'm your Dad.  I have your back.
     Love, God

HEAVEN'S DANCE

Dear One,
     I am your rejoicing Father, along with the cloud of witnesses, especially when one of My lost children chooses to be reconciled to Me and receives the promise of My Holy Spirit.
     I know and My angels know and the rest of the cloud of witnesses know that when you receive My supernatural power that is inherent in My Spirit that you have everything necessary for the abundant life and godliness.
     We rejoice exceedingly when you ask for My wisdom and receive it because we know that faith will come to your mind when you hear My words. Then you know that I will grant what you asked.  Faith becomes substance at the moment you hear My words and faith is evidence in your mind that you will receive those things for which you asked.
     Jesus was the payment so that your inheritance would become yours.  My Holy Spirit is your advocate and He probates My will for you.  He makes everything possible because He is My power in the earth.  He was the power in Jesus when He walked the earth and Jesus sent My Spirit into the world to live in whoever chooses to become My child.  It's the same power that raised Jesus from the dead and He lives in you when you have chosen Me to be your Father.
    My joy is full when a lost one comes to Me and asks Me to be His father, and My joy continues every time a child of Mine comes to Me for My wisdom, insight, knowledge, anointing and My solutions.  I rejoice because I know that with My help you will overcome every evil that is in the world, just like your older brother Jesus did.
     Follow His example, only do what you see Me do and what you hear Me say.  Then you will rejoice just like I rejoice that you have overcome evil again and have appropriated My blessings..
     The victory dance is ours to dance.
                                                                                           Love, God

BENEFICIAL JOY

Dear One,
The things that delight you also delight Me.
When you are happy, My cup of happiness runs over.
When you are sad, I wait to take over whatever burden you have assumed.
When you choose life and blessings, I rejoice at your decision.
When you grieve, I want to relieve you of your grief.  I said that I collect your tears in a bottle because I am always present, enduring the same things that you are experiencing.
My angels and I rejoice together when evil is stopped.
We rejoice together when My blessings are able to be distributed to you on clear, unencumbered avenues.
I particularly rejoice, along with the cloud of witnesses, when one lost person chooses to be reconciled to Me and receives My promise of the Holy Spirit.  We rejoice because with My Holy Spirit as guide, protector, divine insight, wisdom and knowledge, then evil in all forms can be overcome in the life of that person.
My nature is to rejoice.
Your nature should be to rejoice and be exceedingly glad.
That sets up the spiritual climate for My angels and I to perform every manner to work in your behalf.
Choose to rejoice.  It's good for you emotionally, spiritually, mentally and bodily. I am present in more intense force when you rejoice.
Love, God

ENJOY AND REJOICE

Dear One
     I desire that you enjoy everything in life.
     My gifts to you are all tailored specifically for you so that you will be joyful, powerful, gracious and loved.
     My regret is that evil was allowed by man to enter the earth and spoil all of the blessings that I had for you and all of My children.
     The good news is that My son defeated evil and sent to you My Spirit so that you will defeat evil, too, in your life. 
     My power is sent to you in the person of My Spirit so that you will defeat evil,  just like Jesus did.  The power is in you to do just that, defeat evil in every way. 
     When Jesus said that in the world you would have tribulation, but to rejoice because He has overcome the evil, it was before He sent My Spirit to you to do the same thing in your life, defeat all the works of the devil. Now it is up to you to overcome the evil with the same power that was in Jesus, the power of My Spirit.
     The message of Jesus in that declaration was that you should rejoice is powerful because rejoicing brings into play all of My angelic spirits to work with My Spirit to perfect everything that concerns you when you cooperate and destroy the works of the devil in your life by refusing his temptations, just like Jesus did.
      Rejoice that you have the same power in you that raised Jesus from the dead.   That is reason for you to rejoice and be exceedingly glad.

PRESENT IN WORDS

Dear One,
My words are powerful. 
My presence is manifested in My words.
When you hear My personal words that I speak to you, I am there speaking My words. 
My presence is real in My Spirit, just like the real person is not your flesh but the real person is your spirit.  I said where two or three are gathered together in My name that I am in their midst.  I am there in the person hood of My Spirit.
When people hear your words either you are present or if it is by a telecommunication method you are present there, but your presence is manifested in your words. Likewise, you cannot separate Me from My words just like you cannot be separated from your words.
I know your needs before you ask for help.  I am present in your life at all times, but My power and presence is more effectively present in My words because they are the communication between us.
I am your Father.  My words should be precious to you.
Love, God

JOY IN THE HEAVENS

Dear One,

     There is joy in the heavens.  Yes, joyful, joyful are My heavens when there is harmony among individuals and groups of people in the earth. The reason there are celebrations in My heavenly dimension when there is harmony in the earth is because then it makes our tasks in your behalf so much easier to perform. 
     We are impeded by disharmony, strife and disagreements.  My angels and I have to struggle hard to answer any of your prayers when you have put disagreement caused  static between your dimension and our dimension.
     However, when there is harmony in the earth between individuals, our tasks in your behalf are completed speedily.
     You think that delays in between prayers prayed and you receiving the answers are of My choosing but they are not.  The problem is always the heavenly activity that is spurred on when you have disagreements, strife and disharmony between you and others in the earth.  That is the instigator of the delays in your blessings coming to you.  Delays never start from My heavens.  They start in your earth.
     Unencumbered work is done by Me and My angelic hosts quickly when there is harmony between people.  That is the reason I told you to keep peace with all men, to provide an environment that is conducive to our efficiently working in your behalf.
     When Jesus taught you not to judge and to forgive quickly and to turn the other cheek when you are struck and to bless those who curse you, He was giving you the basis upon which your prayers could more easily be answered. He knew how much I want to grant your requests, so He gave you the earthly thoughts and attitudes that must be implemented to facilitate the speedy answers to prayers.
      We want you blessed but you can't receive My blessings when you are participating in the devil's activities that are present in the world.  The barriers put up by your participating with evil will block your blessings from their free and easy access into your life.
      Take the advice of your brother Jesus by creating a clear avenue for My blessings to envelop you.
       Love, God

FALSE WITNESS

Dear One,
     Passing on messages to others that you do not know to be factual is bearing false witness. 
     You must check for the accuracy of everything you talk about, write letters about  or send through networks.
     If you just vicariously pass information on, it is bearing false witness against the person.  Seeds are sown that will return to you in the form of false witness against you, possibly ruining your reputation and your witness for Me.
     Lies are similar to false witnessing.  When you tell lies you are intentionally telling untruths. Bearing false witness can be telling statements that you have not checked out their veracity, their reliability of being true or not.  They could be true or they could be not true, but you don't know the accuracy of the facts of which you are speaking as if they were solidly true. 
     Bearing false witness is often given in an effort to ruin the life of another person, ruining his reputation and his standing in the community, in the family or in an business.  Lies and bearing false witness always intend to harm another person and often are given to make you look better in the eyes of others. It should not be so.
     You are unjustly prosecuting and persecuting another person when you bear false witness against him.    
     To protect your future from you being falsely prosecuted and persecuted, don't talk negatively about anyone. Then you won't be the recipient of any false witnessing against you which will surely come from the seeds you have sown.
     If you often wonder why bad things happen to your country, check your political process and see if there are lies and false witnesses being spewed forth in the election processes.  Those should give you a clue as to why bad things happen to your country and your elected officials.   Poisoned seeds which are sown will grow plants of which your citizens will eat the products. 
     It all comes back to the original seeds.

WHO AND WHAT YOU KNOW

Dear One,
You've heard it said it's not what you know but who you know.
Who you know does matter in life.
What you know does matter in life.
So what you know and who you know do matter.
It matters that you know Me.
It matters that you know that Jesus is the payment for all sins.
It matters that you know that My promise to all men is My Holy Spirit who can live inside of you and give you My knowledge.
It matters that you know the height, depth, width and breadth of my love for you.
It matters that you become intimately and personally acquainted with Me.
It matters that you have My life inside of you, giving you My guidance and My wisdom, My protection, My help and My peace.
It matters that you know My promises to you or you won't be able to have faith to believe for them.
It matters that you know that those who call upon My name will be saved from every manner of destruction that comes along.
It matters what you know that My spirit of revelation will cause you to  tap into My mind to access all the insight that is afforded to a child of Mine.
It matters that you know that you are a treasured and prized child of Mine, that you are the apple of My eye and the inheritor of My kingdom.
It does matter who you know and also what you know.
Love, God

BRACKISH WATER

Dear One,
     When an answer to your prayers seems to be "taking its good time" coming into existence, everything will happen in its really good time, meaning that things will really be good when it finally happens.  Knowing that concept should take care of all impatience.
     I said that through faith and patience you will inherit all of My promises.  I didn't say then that it was faith alone that would bring about My blessings.  I said that faith and patience combined would bring about the culmination of what I have promised to you.
     Your time table and My time table are not the same.  There is no time in My dimension so everything has already been provided for you.  Bringing it into your dimension is what sometimes takes so long.
      You are not only dependent upon Me and My angels to deliver the "goods".  Things are also dependent upon you and the other people involved in the situation. Changes might need to be made as far as your thoughts and words and actions. 
     We have talked about how negative thoughts, words and actions can set up barriers which will stop the answers to your prayers from coming into your life.  If you will check My promises to you in My Instruction Book, you will find that more is written about changing your negative behavior into loving behavior than is written about your having faith. 
     You cannot think or speak demeaning words about anyone in the situation and still expect speedy answers to your prayers.  It doesn't happen that way because if negativity is entered into the situation by My children of faith, then negatively can cancel out or slow down the final good result because you are siding with the devil whose object is to keep you from inheriting your promises.
     James said that brackish water and sweet water cannot come out of the same faucet.  He was right.  You either summon My kingdom to work for you or you summon the kingdom of your enemy to work against you, depending upon your thoughts, words and actions.  When you pray for good things to happen and then speak bad things about the people involved, you are working against yourself.  Either bless them or curse them, depending on what you want to happen.
     Don't think for a moment that I am withholding blessings from you.   I never withhold anythings from My children.
     Change your behavior to reflect My character of love and you will see speedy answers to your prayers.  Please don't sabotage your own future.

SPIRITUAL DEAFNESS

Dear One,
     You have heard parents say sternly to their children, "I'm talking to you.  Did you hear what I said?"
     You have said it many times to your children.
     In order to instruct, I say the same thing to My children, only with a loving attitude.     
     I am talking to all of My children all of the time, giving all of them wise counsel, endeavoring to get you to enjoy love, peace, joy and comfort from My words. 
     I speak to you solutions to your problems.
     I speak to you necessary behavioral changes that need to be made in order to facilitate those solutions.
     I speak to you meaningful instructions of loving actions toward others.
     I speak to you loving words of comfort.
     I speak to you words of caution for your protection.
     I speak to you directions which lead you on the right paths.
     I speak to you words that bring healing to your body, mind and spirit.
     I speak words of deliverance from the evil works of your enemy.
     Every word that I speak brings peace and joy to you.
     Every word that I speak to you brings the abundant life that I promised.
     Sometimes you hear My words but you don't recognize them as being My words.  
     Remember that when I spoke to Elijah I was not in the lightning or the thunder or the earthquake or the fire, but I was in a still, small voice. 
     I speak to you in a still, small voice inside of your thoughts.  My words are always words of peace, love, joy, faith, goodness, kindness and mercy.
     Your life depends upon My words.  Adam did at the beginning.  It has never changed.
