YOUNG IN SPIRIT

Dear One,
     To be forever young is the dream and desire of most people.  When you are in the company of young children or teenagers and when you emotionally mirror their enthusiasm, you are whatever age they presently are, either 2, 6, 10, 12 or 17.  Societal inhibitions leave and you can laugh and giggle and enjoy being young again.
      Age definitely is a state of mind.  It has nothing to do with calendar age.  That means it's in direct relation to your thoughts and attitudes.  The less you think about the ills of your body and the woes of your mind, the more you will enjoy childlikeness. 
     When you begin to think only on things that are happy, true, just, lovely, good, kind, gentle and of a good report,  if there be anything to praise you will think like a child, trusting in Me and My heavenly forces to bring good things into your life. 
     Children trust their parents to provide for them, protect them, avenge them, stand up for them, guide them and keep them from evil.  You must keep that same vein of thought in your mind, that I am doing everything that can be done to ensure an abundant life for you.
      I said that you must come to Me like a child, with that kind of trust.  Those thoughts will produce a clear road upon which My multitude of blessings can be delivered into your life.
      Childlike enthusiasm is the key.  It begins to show on your face, it begins to renew your body and it begins to restore your mind like it was when you first met Me, reaching out to Me in joy.
      Physical, mental and spiritual age are in direct proportion to your joyful thoughts and attitudes.  Children love life and are always waiting for the next gift from their parents.  Do likewise, love life, be thankful and eagerly await My gifts and blessings.
      Love, God

YOUR DADDY

Dear One,
     My children should reflect the song, "My heart belongs to Daddy." 
     I asked My children to love me with all their whole hearts, souls and minds.
     I do not desire that you love me compketely for my sake.  I am not a self centered, egocentric father. I asked you to love me completely for your sake, knowing that when you are centered and established in Me that you will follow My bidding and the results will be that you are blessed during your life in the earth.  All of My requests to My children are made in an effort to facilitate your reception of My blessings.
     Can you see that when your heart totally belongs to Me as your savior, your redeemer, your glory, the lifter of your head, your healer, your protector, your liberator, your provider, your shepherd, your peace and your love, then your heart will truly belong to Me and you will seek Me with your whole heart.  Then you will intimately know Me like I know you.  You won't depend on somebody's relationship with Me for your insight into My flove and My amily ways.
    I am eager to give to you My entire kingdom.  To facilitate that, you need to turn from any selfish, confused, whining, demanding and griping ways, come humbly to Me as your loving PaPa, and I will heal you and your land, like I promised.  You must leave behind the pigpen and its destructive ways which are steeped in self centeredness and know-it-all attitudes.  Then come to Me for the keys to the doors of My storage house. Come to My palace and move in with Me where there are all the comforts that you desire.  You can live there while you are still in the flesh.  It starts with having your whole heart belong to me, your Heavenly Daddy.
     Love, God

DEFUSE STRIFE

Dear One,
     Remember that you only know one side of every story.  That is why judging others is so dangerous to you, you are joining with one person against another person without knowing what the motivation is or was behind the actions of the seemingly offending party.  That person might not be the offending party, after all.  It might be the person whose story you have heard.  The danger is that your judging will return to you as judgment from others.  It's the seed sowing that is dangerous to you.
    When you listen to one person speak condescendingly or with ranting, railing or raving or judgment about someone else, program yourself to consider the other side of the matter, knowing that the position of the other party might be just as viable as the one to which you are listening.   They might both be right from their perspective or they might both be wrong in the matter.  It's not up to you to make that judgment.  The minute you take sides you have entered into judgment of the other side.
     Lending a listening ear does not mean that you need to make a judgment for or against either party.  The person to whom you are listening might have an agenda in mind, which might be getting some reinforcements for his or her side in order to feel better.  When you involve yourself emotionally, you become a participant in the strife and can inherit the evil work that the strife-filled situation has already attracted.
     Immediately begin to pray for the situation and everyone involved, forgiving them because they truly don't know that they are sirring up evil spirits to minister curses to everyone involved. 
     Encourage forgiveness to the tale bearer in relation to the offending party.  That should put an end to the situation as far as you are concerned.  Then begin to bless the people on both sides of the situation.   That should put an end to your involvement.
     Be sure you don't participate in the strife by participating in the emotional situation and judging either party of being wrong.
     Avoid emotionally charged situations as much as you can.  Pray for everyone involved.
     Love, God

STOKE THE FIRES

Dear One,
     I want the light in you to burn brighter every day.  I desire that it never diminishes so that others will see it and begin to glorify Me.
     The light in you comes from the fire of the Holy Spirit burning inside of you just like Ezekiel saw when he peered into the heavens and saw the angels with My life glowing inside of them.  The light in you is from the power that is resident inside all of My children. The glow is caused by vigor for Me and for My ability to change you and to change your situations and circumstances from bad to good. 
     The fire of My Spirit must be fed and stoked and rekindled so that its power never diminishes one iota.  Its power is the life of your body and the fuel of your soul.  It is what draws all men to you just like it draws all men to Me.  It is life everlasting, life eternal and the only life that is all powerful.
     Continually kindle the fire that is inside of you by feeding it My revelation knowledge, which is truth delivered by My Spirit to your mind, enlightening your soul. Every revelation will make the fire burn brighter, lighting up your world and My world.  
     I am the light of the world and I live in you, making you a light in the world along with all of My children who hunger and thirst after righteousness.  I said you will be filled.  All you have to hunger, thirst, seek, knock and ask.  You will receive. 
     My truths are waiting to be accessed, causing the fires of revelation knowledge  in you to burn brighter and brighter.
     Love, God

OUTWARD APPEARANCES

Dear One,
     Outward appearances can be encouraging or the same appearances can be discouraging, depending upon how you look at them. 
     Outward appearances can look defeating or they can look elating, depending upon your spiritual view of them. 
    Jesus taught His followers about those people who don't have eyes to see or ears to hear what they need to see and hear.  He was speaking about spiritual eyes and ears.  Now you have spiritual eyes and ears since you have My Holy Spirit inside of you to give you encouragement about things that you see with your earthly eyes which might look defeating to someone who has not yet received My Holy Spirit.
    With the eyes of My Holy Spirit you view things from the viewpoint of faith, knowing that discouraging earthly appearances are only temporary and a momentary part of the whole picture.  You know that behind the scenes, in the spiritual dimension, My angels and I are working full time to bring about the answers to your prayers.  When we are working for you and changes are being made, very often outward appearances look bad.  You know that the next hour or the next day or the next week outward appearances will completely change and you will see dramatic answers to your prayers.
     Your thoughts and attitudes during the discouraging times  are often the determining factor that gauges the time of the manifestation of the blessings.  Continuing in faith in Me will exacerbate the entrance of the blessings.  Loss of faith in Me will often delay the entrance of the blessings.
     After all, faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.  Faith is the power that brings blessings into existence in your life.  Faith is power which attracts into your life what I have already prepared for you.
    Faith is easy.  You just have to believe Me.  Abraham believed Me and it was counted to him as righteousness. 
    When you intimately know Me and know that I do not lie, faith is easy.  You simply believe Me.
     Love, God

BLANKET FORGIVENESS

Dear One,
     There is a strategic reason why the devil tempts people in high places of responsibility in the earth,  in government, in ministries, in teaching, in sports and in entertainment.   It is so that he will manipulate more people by tempting the people who have influence over them.  The devil tempts them to do evil, injurious or immoral acts, thus affecting their followers to either do the same acts or to lose faith in the positions of service through which the authorities worked. 
     When the public servants in government, ministries, sports, teaching and entertainment yield to temptations and do immoral or evil actions, thousands and thousands of people are affected with thoughts and attitudes of distrust, judgment and condemnation.  Very often, others will emulate the evil behavior as if their idols have given them permission to fall for the same temptations.
    When you fully realize the key to forgiveness, which explains that all evil is instigated by the devil, it should be easier for you to forgive a person who falls for temptations since you have fallen for temptations yourself in other areas.
     Another reason why the enemy tempts people who have authority over others is that when the person falls for the temptation and it becomes known, it pushes more and more people into judgmental thoughts and attitudes which will boomerang back on them, causing them to be judged also by others.  So there are multitudes of evil crops that grow out of the moral failures of people in high positions of authority.

     Your first reaction, as a child of mine, should be to forgive them because they don't know they have been used by the devil to influence thousands of people.
     My forgiveness doesn't pick and choose whom I will forgive.  I issue blanket forgiveness. Jesus died for the sins of the whole world, not just a few.
     Don't let the failures of another person cause you to fall for the temptation to judge and condemn the person.  My mercy is extended to every person instead of judgment.
     Like your wise grandson Neil said, "Everybody makes mistakes and next time it just might be you."
     Let your reaction always be to extend mercy and forgiveness instead of judgment.
     Love, God

WHO'S TO BLAME?

Dear One,
     There is a key to forgiving someone.  That key is to know that all actions which need forgiveness are instigated by the devil so that he can destroy My children in different ways, through injured feelings, injured bodies, injured relationships and injured property. 
     If you will notice, if you take the letter "d" away from the word devil you get the word "evil," signifying that the devil with his evil ways always wants to take away something beneficial from My children.
     If you will also notice, if you add the letter "o" to God, you get the word "good", signifying  that I always add beneficial things to My children. 
     After you realize that the devil is at the basis of all evil done in the world, it is easier to forgive someone, knowing that the temptation to do evil things to you comes from hell, not from the person.
     When you forgive the person who wronged you, you are releasing him or her from the guilt because the origin of the offending action is not the person but it's the devil.   The person only fell for the temptation to do the evil action to you.  You have done the same thing many times, fallen for the temptation to either think evil or do evil deeds so you are not innocent in any way.
      My forgiveness extends to all people.  Your forgiveness needs to extend to all people.  That is why I told you many, many times to forgive and that is why I told you that love never takes into account a wrong suffered, remembering that if you forgive others you will be forgiven.
     Put all guilt where it belongs, on the devil who instigated the hurtful action.
     The laws of your country will take care of law breakers.  You don't need to worry about that.  You only need to forgive and extend mercy to the law breakers.  That is what I do to you is constantly extend My forgiveness because you don't yet fully know what it is to walk in love, not offending anyone in thought or deed.  Extend the same forgiveness to others that I extend to you.  It's an act of your will, not your emotions.
      Love, God

CHOOSE TO REJOICE

Dear One,
     Bad visible things that are physically and materially happening in the earth are only temporary situations leading to a final manifestation of answers to your prayers.  They are segments of the current orchestrations that will lead to the final product. 
     You might temporarily look at unpleasant situations as being bad or unfortunate occurrences, but in reality they lead to the blessings at the end of the road when My promises to you are completed and perfected.
     Thankfulness and rejoicing in all things is important, especially when things look bad to the human eye.  Don't be thankful for the bad situation but be thankful that I am working in the situation to perfect the people who are involved, regardless of the outward occurrences.  Don't rejoice for the bad occurrences but rejoice that I am working behind the scenes with My angels to bring the final perfect results.  Then the thankfulness and rejoicing won't be merely in faith but in reality that I have performed miracles in the situation.
      When you are thankful to Me and you are rejoicing during the horrible times, you are making a statement to the heavens that you have confidence in Me and you trust Me to complete My plans.  My angels rejoice with you when you rejoice because you rejoice in faith that there are  activities behind the scenes which will result in good situations which will come into your view which are answers to your prayers.
     Come to Me for dreams and visions of the miracles before they happen so that your faith will be substance of things hoped for and evidence of things not seen with human eyes.  I can show you the end result before it happens.  Then you will have unmovable faith.   Until then, be thankful and rejoice. 
     Love, God

GIVE LIFE

Dear One,
     To nurture means to give life to others, emotional, spiritual and physical life. 
     When you minister love to another person, you are supplying a new life source to him or her.  It only takes listening, giving encouragement, giving compliments and extending validation.  Those actions produce tangible and visible results because  nourishment of the soul and nourishing of the body both feed a particular part of the whole person.  Both are necessary for proper growth of the personality and the body.
     You have noticed in yourself that a critical, judgmental look can rob you of your confidence and self respect.  When your ego is affected, you can't love others because you don't love yourself.  Jesus said to love others as you love yourself.
     My children should not participate in stealing confidence and self respect from another person by being judgmental and critical.  Stealing is stealing, no matter if it is robbing a person of earthly goods or robbing a person of his confidence and self respect.  My commandment of, "Do not steal," covers everything; but, first of all, it covers not stealing the confidence and self respect of another person by projecting  judgmental and condemning words or looks.
      Judgment and criticism project death to others because of the damage to his or her self confidence and self respect.
      Encouraging, validating and complimenting looks and words project life to others because of the love shown and the nurturing of the soul where the ego of humans reside.
      My children bring life to others by loving words and loving attitudes.
     Love, God

SERVING ANGELS

Dear One,
     There are people with serving jobs who serve you day and night in different capacities, policemen, firemen, government employees, teachers, waitresses, waiters, soldiers, repairmen and so forth.  They delight in your appreciation of their attention to your safety and your comfort.
     Don't forget that I have given to you good angelic servants who work for you every day in the spiritual dimension around you  They eagerly wait for every word from your mouth to do your bidding, your blessing others, your binding and loosing of good intentions, all according to the words that you choose to speak. 
     There are evil demonic servants who also wait for your cursings, your negativity and your destructive words so that they can begin to destroy your blessings and the blessings of your family and friends.

     That is why the Psalmist prayed, "Let the words of my mouth and the meditations of my heart be always acceptable in your sight, oh, Lord, My strength and My redeemer."  He knew that My angels waited to save him from himself because of his evil words that he might speak against someone, so he prayed that his words would be acceptable to Me.  He knew about the boomerang effect of words spoken, that they are not void but they sow seeds and the returns are either blessings or curses, depending on the works.
     I am love and My angels only respond to love words about someone and to someone.  That is why Jesus said by your words you are justified and by your words you are condemned.  There are spiritual beings waiting to perform what you have knowingly or unknowingly chosen to speak into the universe, either blessings or curses.  That is where the choice between good and evil begins, in thoughts, attitudes and words.  James said that pure water and bitter water should not come out of the same mouth because one blesses and the other curses.
      Always choose uplifting, constructive and loving words so that your serving angels can bring blessings into your life. 
     I told you to bless those who curse you for a reason.  When you do, you reverse the effects of the cursing words that they have spoken against you, rendering them powerless.  The spirits who intended to work against you will be dispensed from their destructive efforts when you bless the people who curse you.
    It's always the battle against good and evil.  Choose to speak good and do good.
    Love, God

RIGHT VS. RIGHTEOUSNESS

Dear One,
     Would you like to be justified as being right in matters of disagreement? 
      If so, is it worth being patient enough to let circumstances that I initiate  prove that you are right? 
      Are you comfortable enough in your trust in Me to be thought by others to be wrong in matters when you know you are right? 
     When you intimately know Me, you know that right will prevail and be revealed.

     Consider this:  You might actually be completely wrong in a matter in which you insist that you are 100% right. You have experienced that many times.  If you insisted that you were right in the matter, you looked foolish when the truth was revealed.  You had to eat humble pie.  It's so much better if you are humble at the beginning of the matter, humble enough not to insist that you are right.
     Have you ever thought that an outgrowth of humility is never insisting that you are right?  Pride in a person insists he is right all the time.   Humility in a person concedes that the other person might be right and a humble person is willing to let Me prove the accuracy.
     Remember that the fruit of My Spirit is always a collection of My personal attributes, My personality.  The fruit of kindness is flexibility which results in humility, an activity of righteousness which stems from never insisting on your own way, always being willing to take a back seat, keeping peace and allowing others to be right.  That is called righteousness.
     I will reveal truth in every matter.  Then the prideful person will be embarrassed and the humble person will be justified.  You must not gloat if you are right in the matter.  Let humility continue.
     Humility has its rewards just like truth has its rewards.
     Love, God

RIGIDITY PRODUCES EMBARASSMENT

Dear One,
     Are you willing to be deemed wrong, even when you know you are right? 
     Jesus was.  He went to the cross knowing that everything he taught was right, truthful and eternal.  Yet others accused Him of being wrong and a blasphemer.
     Are you willing to relinquish the throne of being the law keeper and judge of others?
     Jesus was.  His life fulfilled the law but He said He judged no person who broke religious laws.  He also broke many religious laws in an effort to show My love to people.
     He was willing to be deemed wrong even when He knew He was right.  Jesus was flexible, never rigid, never insisting on His own way as being right and others wrong.  The fruit of His personality proved that He was right.
     One of the attributes of love is never insisting on your own way, never insisting that you are right.
     I asked you one time if you would rather be right or would you rather be righteous.  You answered that you would rather be righteous. 
    I told you that being righteous means never insisting that you are right.  Being righteous means walking in love and when there is a disagreement you show grace to others, allowing them the grace to be right when they are actually wrong.
     If you are right in any matter, if you will refuse to be rigid in your opinion but allow the other person to possibly be right, I will prove who is right in the matter.  If it is you who is right, it will be a sweet situation to be proven right.  You must not gloat but be thankful that truth prevailed.
     If you refuse to be rigid and allow the other person to think maybe he or she is right, you will eventually find the truth of the matter to be supportive of the veracity of one of you to a big degree. 
    When situations prove that you were wrong in a matter, if you were wrong in your opinion but you have been rigid about being right, you will be embarrassed about being wrong, rigid and unbending.
     Being kind is being flexible, emotionally bending in every situation.
     Rigidity is being stiff necked.  You know what I taught about that through the prophets and through Jesus.
     Love means never insisting on your own way, always being flexible in relation to others.  That is one of My keys to keeping peace with all men.
     If you will keep peace with all men, refusing to insist on your own way, I will prove your righteousness in the matter.  You will glorify Me for My grace when truth prevails.  Truth always prevails.  You can count on that.
                                                                                  Love, God

TRUE LOVE

Dear One,
     You see the beautiful wonders in nature and you are thrilled.
     You hear the melodious notes in music and your heart soars.
     You view the new inventions that people concoct and you marvel at their ingenuity.
     You often forget that all of those wonders, notes and inventions came from Me.  They are all divine, heavenly and spiritual in origin.  They existed in My mind before I created them into nature or imparted them into the minds of people.
     There is a reason for them being given to you and to all My children.  It's because I love you and want you to enjoy the things that begin in My mind and become heaven on earth.  If you were the only person on the earth, I would have created them for you.    
     You are the object of My affection.  You began in the sperm of life that is in My spiritual loins.  I gave My life to you and for you.  My love for you will never cease.  My love for you will never end.  My love for you is eternal.  My love for you endures forever, regardless of your actions.
     Oh, that you would perfectly know the length, depth, breath and height of My love for you.  You can.  It can only be revealed by My Spirit when He is inside of you.  He is the only being in the earth who can completely remove the blinders from your eyes so that you can completely and intimately know how much I love you.
     I created a whole earth and universe for you.  That is an indication of how much I love you.
     Any efforts by My children to find unconditional love from humans in the earth is futile.  No one is able to give it. 
     I am Love and the revelation of My Love will envelop you and infuse you and satisfy your innate desire for love.  Only My Love will suffice. 
     My Holy Spirit delights in revealing My love to you.  Ask Him for that revelation and He will deliver it.
     All fear will leave.
     Love, God

HEALING POWERS

Dear One,
     Love will always heal.
     Peace will always heal.
     Joy has healing properties.
     Faith will heal.
     Goodness will heal.
     Kindness will heal.
     Mercy will heal.
     That is why they are called the fruit of the Spirit, because all of them have healing nutrients in them which will heal every person and every problem in the world.
     When a person receives unconditional love from Me and from others, he or she has the power to heal all of the other relationships in his or her own life. As a result of love, his or her body, soul and spirit will be healed.  All fear will disappear.
     When peace is present between people, any problem in the relationship will be healed because all opposition is gone.
     When joy is bubbling from your spirit to your body, healing nutrients are released on the way to cleanse all thoughts and attitudes of sadness and depression.
     Since faith is spiritual power, faith in Me will heal a person of all negativity, fear and hopelessness.
     Goodness will heal because the outgrowth of goodness is serving others and preferring the needs of others to our own satisfaction.
     Since kindness is flexible instead of rigid, kindness heals relationships and will also heal you because kindness refuses to believe negatives about anyone and refuses to dwell on negativity.
     Mercy extends healing to one's self and others because there is no judgment, condemnation or guilt where there is the fruit of mercy.
     The fruit of My Spirit are the characteristics of My nature.  My desire for you is that those healing fruits will begin to grow on the outside of you just like they are evident in your Spirit if My Spirit lives in you.  They must become your personality if you are to be like Me, your Father.
     Fruit is always tasty to the person who is hungry for spiritual food.
Love, God

TOXICITY

Dear One,
     Whether it's parental, marital or sibling ties, when the relationship to another person becomes toxic to you, then it is no longer blessed and should be temporarily severed.  When a relationship is toxic to you, your hearts are no longer bound together with the ties of love.  They are bound by guilt, condemnation and abuse.
     Loyalty is not to be considered in toxic relationships because the devil uses loyalty as a tool to keep people in submission to someone who desires to dominate. 
     Just because I told you to forgive someone doesn't mean I told you to continue allowing someone to emotionally or physically injure you.

    To forgive someone means to release that person from the guilt of the injury.  Sometimes it is necessary to temporarily both physically and emotionally release the person from your life while I work behind the scenes to change the personality of the domineering person.   I will also be working with you to let you know My unconditional love for you so that your damaged ego will be restored and whole. Very often, without a change in the relationship, it is impossible for Me to work in the situation. 
     You don't have to repeatedly go back to an injurious relationship and be emotionally iinjured again and again.  Jesus didn't go to the cross over and over again for the sins of the world.  He only went once. He didn't need to be abused over and over again and you don't need to be abused over and over again by a toxic relationship.  You need to learn methods of self protection until you love yourself enough to protect yourself.
      It might be temporarily necessary to cut off the relationship that is toxic to your emotional health because that toxicity affects your physical and spiritual health, also.  If you don't separate yourself from the abuse, it's like you are throwing yourself under the wheels of a car over and over again, asking to be hurt.  I love you too much to let you purposely put yourself in the position of being injured over and over again.
      Forgive the offender and decide if you need to temporarily separate yourself from the toxic verbiage that has cursed you and made you feel defeated.  You should love yourself enough to protect yourself.  I love you and want you emotionally healed and whole. 
     Love, God.

LIFE ADVENTURES

Dear One,
     Breaking out of your usual routine is wonderful for you because your security can be in your normal, everyday existence. 
     When you decide to venture out of the mundane, comfortable existence, you can explore new adventures, new activities, new experiences, new exposures which stretch your mind and your knowledge beyond where it's previously been.  That is what "life" is all about, expanding your knowledge, your activities and your adventures. Life is always moving, always expanding.
     When you only have rigid daily activities, your mind becomes lax, your routine become your security and life becomes dull and unexciting.
     The same thing is true about spiritual matters.  People can become secure in their limited religious teachings, cautious about expanding their knowledge because of fear that their present teachings might be erroneous or limited.  They often fear teachings which might be outside of their denomination or outside of their beliefs.  The fear that they have will cause them to be limited in their acceptance of truth.
    When you have confidence in the voice of My Holy Spirit inside of you, there should be no fear that you are spiritually venturing into foreign territory.  He is the Spirit of Truth and He will lead you into all truth.  I said that he will teach you about sin and righteousness and how to judge between the two.  That means that He will teach you about My righteous way of thinking and acting, and He will teach you about the enemy's way of acting which entices you to do his evil bidding.  My Spirit will certainly show you how to judge between the two modes of operation.  He leads you into all truth, not just limited truth.
     Be adventuresome in your daily life and in your spiritual life.  You will gain valuable wisdom and insights from both.  Then life will be the exciting adventure that it should be.
Love, God

LOVE AND PEACE ARE TWINS

Dear One,
     Peace reigns where love reigns.
     Where love wanes, peace wanes.
     They only exist together because I am Love and Jesus is the Prince of Peace.  We are one and love and peace are one.
     Also, where peace wanes, love also wanes.
     Apart from each other, there is no faith, which is My power, and there is no joy.
     It all depends upon love.
     Take love out of any relationship and peace will disappear.
     Strife is waiting in the wings to enter into a relationship when love leaves.  It is poised and ready to begin its devastation and destruction.  Every evil work will flood the relationship and the families along with the controlling spirit of strife when strife barges into a situation.  That is why I told My children to keep peace with all men.
      You must learn to celebrate differences in opinions, in politics, in religious views and in family dynamics rather than letting them separate you..
      My blessings are only in existence where love reigns.  Remember that one of My  descriptions of love is that it never takes into account a wrong suffered and love never insists on its own way.    Maybe you should work on those attitudes which I attribute to love.
      Love, God

FAMILY STRIFE

Dear One,
     You have just realized that the children's story of Snow White is a story written around a truth.  The truth is that the jealousy of a mother for a daughter which causes strife is like poison, just like the poisoned apple in the story.  Any cause of family strife is poison, poisoning the whole family, which is part of the whole lump as I said in My Instruction Manual. It poisons generation after generation unless it is stopped. 
     The reason why it is so powerful a curse from mother to daughter is that the mother has birthed the daughter and they shared the same blood supply and the same body so there is a special connection.  The venom that is spiritually distributed through attitudes and words also poisons other relationships, poisoning the actions and behaviors of all the people in the family.  It poisons the finances and everything that applies to the family.
     You can compare this truth to when Adam and Eve ate of the apple of the tree of knowledge of good and evil.  They inherited the devil's curses.  Everything in the earth became cursed.
     The same is true when there is jealousy and strife between mothers and daughters, everything in the family becomes cursed because every evil work is invited into the family.  Since the females are the life-givers, they bring every human into the world.  When life givers are in strife, death comes to all of My blessings in that family.
     There is the same truth in relation to sons and fathers, but if the mother validates the life of the son then some of the curses are reneged upon and blessings can come to the family. 
     I said that the sins of the fathers are visited upon the children, meaning that fathers pass on to the children the demons from the past generations.  Salvation involves getting rid of those curses.  We will talk later about the curses that are passed from fathers to sons and daughters.
     Right now you must be alert to share the truth about mothers and daughters, stopping the devil's flow of curses to families through jealousy and strife in those relationships.  Restore the breach that exists so that curses in families can be ended.
  
     Love, God

WISDOM SHOUTS LOUDLY

Dear One,
     My wisdom is constantly and continually available to you from My spiritual abode.  A wise man once wrote that wisdom cried aloud in the streets.  He didn't say that wisdom whispered in the streets.  H said that My wisdom cried aloud.  That means it shouts its mysteries, its insights, its guidance, its medical discoveries  its inventions and its freedom bearing words.
     My wisdom is available to every person in the earth to access.  There are visionaries who are gifted in spiritual matters who easily receive My wisdom.  They invent things that benefit all of humanity.  Often they receive the cure for diseases.  They write musical scores and songs with which to entertain you.  Those visionaries might not be religious people but they are spiritual ones who have trained themselves to listen intuitively to the voices of wisdom from inside of themselves. 
     My wisdom is also projected loudly to give you the solutions to your problems and the  answers to your needs.  You can determine to receive My wisdom, ask for it and then receive it.  You will.  It's already available.  I am not withholding My wisdom.  There are often spirits of unbelief, dullness of hearing and impatience which are the problems.  I am never the problem.  It's always on your side of the relationship where satan has dulled your spiritual hearing and sight so that you don't recognize My wisdom and insight..
     You must, first of all, determine to determine to receive My wisdom, ask for it and then believe that you will receive it and it will be manifested in some way.  You must not be concerned by how it will come to you.  You only need to expect to receive and you will.  I said you will have it.  It is yours already because you are My child.  Leave to Me the avenue by which it will travel to you.  It might be in My still, small voice inside of you.  It might be from something you read.  It might be from the mouth of a friend or acquaintance.  It might be from a scripture that the Holy Spirit enlightens to you.  You must rest in the fact that the wisdom is yours already and I will see to the mode of travel that it comes to you.
     When you are able to receive My wisdom, yo rejoice, I rejoice and the heavenly hosts rejoice because more aspects of My kingdom have come into the earth, just like Jesus prayed that it would.
     When you are My child the Spirit of Wisdom is already inside of you and He will reveal Himself and reveal My workable solutions to any problem you have.  That is part of your inheritance.
     Love, God

PIGPEN LIVING

Dear One,
     I've told you in the past that you have the choice of living in a pigpen or living in a palace.  You have the choice of dying in a pigpen or dying in the splendor of a palace. 

     You have heard it said that the works of evil have their own rewards.  They do, and the rewards are not pretty and they are not good.  The object of the devil is to entice people to join him in his evil endeavors so that he can destroy everything that people have and kill them while they are in their emotional, spiritual, mental and physical poverty.  Sometimes My children forget that attitudes of judgment, condemnation, unforgiveness, belittling, strife, political divisiveness and the like are also instigated by the devil to rob them of My blessings because if he can entice you to participate in his thought processes then he can guarantee that those attitudes will return to you and curse you with his curses.
     Evil spirits who are called demons are condemned to hell for their rebellion against Me and they want to pass the same condemnation on to My children by enticing them to mirror their evil actions.
     I sent Jesus into the earth to save My children from the effects of evil deeds.  That is My good news.  I also sent My Holy Spirit into the earth so that people who receive Him into their lives will have the power to refuse the temptations to think evil and do evil deeds, thus being saved from the effects caused by obeying the evil spirits.
     The works of My Holy Spirit have their wonderful rewards.
     Again i say that seed sowing has its own rewards, either blessings or cursing, depending on which family you want to emulate in your life, either Mine or the devil's.  If a person sows to the evil kingdom he or she will reap the rewards of destruction because he has joined the dark side.  If a person sows into my kingdom with My lovi\ng deeds, he or she will reap the rewards of My blessings because of sowing into the family of love and light.
     Your sins are forgiven before you commit them because of the sacrifice of Jesus.   I never withdraw My love from you.   However, you can continue to sow into the kingdom of darkness and inherit curses if you choose to do that.
      Showing love toward all men, extending mercy to all men, forgiving all men, and refusing to judge anyone will sow seeds into the family of light and you will reap wonderful seeds, leading to a prosperous life.
     I said to seek My kingdom and My righteousness, which means to seek to emulate My love in the earth.  The promise is that when you do those things that all good things will be added to you.
     I want you to have the best of everything and live in my palace.
    Love, God

TWO KINGDOMS

Dear One,
     With My guidance everything is workable.
     With My input everything is possible.

      Everything that I promised to My children can be accessed when you hear My words and carry out My instructions.  I will tell you what to correct in your attitudes and actions which will facilitate the fulfillment of My promises to you. Everything depends upon your ability to forgive, to love others, to operate in faith and to be merciful to all men.  Those attitudes and actions are the first things that Jesus taught, so you must deem them important in relation to your prayers being answered. 
     Jesus knew the strategies of the spiritual world which has two kingdoms vying for your loyalty.  There is My family and then there is the family of the devil, which Jesus so clearly identified as your enemy and the enemy of all for My children.  My family produces blessings and the family of the devil produces curses.  You can read about the works which produce blessings when you read about the ministry of Jesus.  You can read about the works of the devil when you read about the demons that he cast out of people which produce curses.
     Everything relating to My blessings depends upon your ability to love, forgive, be merciful and have confidence in Me.  When you do those things, My kingdom will be manifested in the earth and My promises to you will be fulfilled.
     Remember that I gave the choice to My children whether they would inherit  blessings or curses.  After the choice is made to accept My blessings, then the attitudes and actions that are found in My family which are called the fruit of the Spirit must be emanated by you for My blessings to be manifested.  You cannot sow seeds into the family of the devil and expect to inherit My blessings.  It is impossible because the produce only comes from the ground of the family to which you have sown the seeds.
    When you sow the seeds of My Spirit into My spiritual ground you will inherit blessings.  When you sow seeds of the works of the devil into his ground you will inherit curses.  It's very, very simple.
     Jesus taught those lessons over and over and so did My disciples and the apostles, that you cannot sow to the flesh which is influenced by evil and inherit My blessings.
    I do not withhold blessings.  It all depends upon which family you choose to amplify in your life. 
     I said that when you are led by My spirit and pray in My spirit that everything will be added to you.  By your attitudes and actions you either activate the kingdom of love or you activate the kingdom of evil.  I can show you how to walk in the Spirit of love and receive overflowing blessings.
     Love, God

CHILDLIKE JOY

Dear One,
     In an effort to operate in the fruit of joy of the Spirit, you should seize every opportunity to be childlike and have fun.  Chidren have an abundance of love for everyone and find joy in everything.
     Young children forgive easily.
     Children giggle and laugh at the least funny things.
     Children form tight bonds with others.
     Children spend time contemplating the mysteries of My creation.
     Children have no problem believing in spiritual things.
     Children have no problem in believing that their angels surround them and that they behold My face.
     Children have unmoveable faith.  They want to know the mysteries of the universe.
     Children find great pleasure in tiny insects, beautiful plants and falling stars.
     Every moment that you can return to the state of joyful,  childlike emotions,  your faith, your enjoyment of life, your health and your relationships with others will improve.   The rigidity which cripples you will be loosed and you will become accepting of all people when you can be like a child. You will run through the spring rain, play in the cold snow, lay in the green grass and life will become pleasurable to you again.  Innocence returns to you when you adopt attitudes of childlikeness.
     Joy is contagious. When you become childlike again, you will sow joy in the earth that is so burdened with political and judgmental unrest.
     People cannot rejoice unless they are joyful.  Show them what it's like to be joyful and to genuinely rejoice.
     Love, God

STILL, SMALL VOICE

Dear One,
     Preparation is of utmost importance to My children.  If you will refer to the children with whom I had My first covenant and also refer to My children with whom I made the new covenant with all the humans who would receive My Spirit of Life into their own spirits, you will see that I instructed them on a multitude of things, what they should eat and drink, what they should think upon, what actions in which to participate, how to treat others, etc.  In other words, I try to lead and guide My children into the good things of life. 
     I have taught all of the important tasks to perform in dealing with other people.  I am still doing that today.
     I have taught things to do which will enrich your lives and give you valuable adventures.  I still do that today.
     I teach business ethics and trustworthy actions.  I continue doing that today.
     I teach ministry practices that will draw all men to Me and I teach how not to engage in ministry practices which are erroneous and will cause people to run from Me.  I never stopped teaching that.
     I will always prepare My children for whatever needs to be done to enhance their own lives.
     I continue to do the same things today through My Holy Spirit, who lives within you.  Pay attention to the still, small voice that prompts you to prepare for an upcoming event.  Our insight is for your protection, your happiness and your convenience.
     Love, God

IMAGE PROBLEMS

Dear One,
    Your family respects you when you keep your word.
    Your family and others respect you when you are trustworthy.
    Everyone respects you when you are industrious.
    Everyone respects you when you are safely adventuresome.
    Everyone respects you when you use wisdom in making decisions.
    Everyone respects you when you are a person of your word.
    Everyone respects you when you are kind and good.
    Everyone respects you when you seek knowledge and truth.
    Everyone respects you when you are prudent.
    When others find out that you are trustworthy, they have no problem finding that I am trustworthy because they know that you are My child, a reflection of Me.
    You were created in My image.  When you profess My name, people look to you as still being a child who is created and living in My image.   People judge Me by your character and your actions.  When you profess to be My child you should always walk in My Spirit and be led by My Spirit, the Spirit of truth, love, goodness, kindness, mercy, joy, faith and peace.
     Some of My children have portrayed to others that I am judgmental and condemning.  You must present My real image to others so that they will be able to trust Me and approach Me with confidence in My true nature, which is Love.
     How can they trust Me if they can't trust My children who profess to know Me?
     Let's work on that together.
     Love, God
