BLESSINGS OF THE NEW COVENANT

BLESSINGS OF THE NEW COVENANT My Dear Precious Child, When Paul wrote his letter to the Hebrew Christians, he included a comparison between the old covenant and My new covenant with the nation of Israel. My covenant with Moses related to the earthly nation through which the flesh of Jesus would derive, a nation that when I chose it had fewer demons in the DNA of the people to be passed down to its members. So when Jesus was conceived by My Holy Spirit inside of Mary, His human DNA would not be such a large detriment to My Life and Virtues which were also inside of Him. The Christ part of Him was pure and unadulterated, having been impregnated by My Holy Spirit after the priestly order of Melchizedek, which had no earthly beginning or end. (Psalm 110:14; Hebrews 6:20) So He was called by Me under a heavenly, spiritual order of priests, not after the human order of Aaron, as under the old covenant. It was through Jeremiah that I spoke the prophesy of My eventual new covenant coming into the world through Jesus Christ and perpetuated by My Holy Spirit. I spoke through Jeremiah that the nation of Israel had polluted the old covenant and made it of no effect to that country. Their rebellion was counted over and over and over again by their building false idols and their trying to become their own gods through those idols. Of course it never worked, it just caused them to worship the demons who inhabited those idols. I told the nation of Israel and Judah that I was eventually going to inaugurate a new and more effective covenant with them which would replace the old one. I spoke through Jeremiah that I would come to live inside of people and I would write My words in their minds and on their hearts and I would remember their sins no more. I spoke through Jeremiah and said that in that day that no one would have to teach other people to know Me because they would know Me from the least to the greatest because I would personally live inside of them. (Hebrews 8:7-12) When Paul wrote about Jeremiah's prophesy, he wrote that when I said that I would institute a new covenant, that the new one made the old one obsolete. Paul wrote that what has become obsolete has grown old and will disappear, so the old covenant would be dispensed with altogether because life in the earth would be of a complete new covenant which brought in a new age of humanity. (Hebrews 8:13) When Paul further explained the difference between My old covenant with the nation of Israel and My new covenant with all of humanity, he wrote that the old religious laws under the old covenant with Israel were only a shadow of the good things which were to come under My new covenant with humanity and the world. (John 3:16-17) The old covenant was never meant to perfect the worshipers by the sacrifices that were offered continually year after year. If the sacrifices had perfected them, then the worshipers would have stopped offering them because they would have had no more sin on their consciences. Relating to the difference between the old covenant and the new covenant, I spoke and said through the prophet David that I did not desire sacrifices and offerings, but instead I desired a body that was prepared for Me to inhabit in the earth, which I did in My new covenant in the body of Christ Jesus. (Psalm 40:7f; Hebrews 10:5) Paul also quoted David again and said that when I said that I do not delight in sacrifices and offerings, that Jesus said that He had come into the earth to do My will. (Hebrews 10:8) In other words, I did away with the old covenant in order to establish the second covenant. (Hebrews 10:9) The life and death of Jesus Christ made Him the One and Only real sacrifice for the sins of the world and He sits at My right hand in My heaven. (Hebrews 10:12) Then Paul wrote that by Jesus' offering of his body for the sins of the whole world, He has perfected the people who have been sanctified and the Holy Spirit confirms that they are My children. (Hebrews 10:14) He also wrote that once you have been forgiven by Me, there is no further offering for sin so you have the power of My Holy Spirit to walk in My guidance in order to avoid the evil that persists in the earth. Adding the old covenant requirements to My new covenant only brings the knowledge of sin and your participation in sin. That is why Paul was so concerned about false prophets requiring believers to be circumcised or brought into bondage again to old and obsolete religious laws. You must be constantly on the alert to refuse to return to the old law of sin and death by trying to justify yourself by works instead of continuing to justify your new life by the presence of the Holy Spirit in your spirit which institutes My Eternal Life inside of you. Your only calling under My new covenant with humanity is to follow My guidance, thus avoiding the evil that is your world. (Hebrews 6:25) Your Father of a More Perfect Covenant

BLESSED WITH PEACE AND PROSPERITY

My Dear Precious Child, In the prophesy of the book of Joel, there was a great invasion of locusts in Judah that was thought to be so tragic that it must be preceding the coming of the Lord, the Messiah. Joel had summoned for the people to repent and turn back toward Me with repentance and fasting. I answered their prayers and drove away the locusts, promising to bless their land with peace and prosperity. In addition to the material blessings, the prophet Joel added the ultimate blessing of the eventual outpouring of the Holy Spirit upon all human flesh which was the ushering in of My kingdom of God and the beginning of My covenant of the Holy Spirit. Many years later on the day of Pentecost My promise would be fulfilled. Instead of destruction, My promise was that all flesh would be blessed and restored back to My favor. (Joel Chapter 1) In My mercy for the nation in its travail, I promised through the prophet Joel that I would send the Teacher of Justice into their midst, making rain to come down on them to water the crops so that the grain would grow and the threshing floor would be full of grain, plus the vats would overflow with oil and wine. Also I prophesied through Joel that through My great angelic army that I would send to them that I would repay to the inhabitants everything that the locust, the grasshopper, the devourer and the cutter worm had eaten. Also I promised that they would know that I had been in their midst and they would never be put to shame again. That Teacher would be My Son, Jesus Christ. (Joel 2:21-27) The second promise through Joel was that after the Christ came to earth and then returned to Me that I would pour My Holy Spirit upon all mankind and that as a result their sons and daughters would prophesy, speaking for Me, that their old people would dream prophetic dreams and their young people would see prophetic visions just like the prophets of old. Joel prophesied that even servants and maids would be recipients of the outpouring of My Holy Spirit. In other words, I would not limit My prophesies and guidance to the prophets, but that every believer would have My power become a prophet by his or her speaking for Me when My Holy Spirit speaks My words through their mouths in prayers. Through the Holy Spirit living in their bodies I promised that I would work wonders in the heavens and on the earth, blood, fire and columns of smoke; that the sun would be darkened and the moon would turn to blood on the coming of the new day, the great day for My children and the terrible day for the devil and his demons. Joel prophesied that everyone who called upon My name would be saved from the devil's death and destruction. He promised that on Mount Zion there would be the remnant of believers who would be the first fruits of My restorative promise. (Joel 2:23-32) Part of Joel's prophesy relates to the defeat of the principalities and powers of the air, who are the demons of the devil who had tormented the lives of My children since Adam allowed them to curse the beautiful earth that I had created to be a replica of My heaven. Joel prophesied that in reversing the curses upon the earth that I would tell My children to beat their plowshares into swords and their pruning hooks into spears, letting the weak people say that they are strong by the power that I have given to them against their spiritual enemies, those being the demons and the demonic heads of nations. (Joel 3:9-15) He prophesied that My voice would thunder and roar from Zion because I will be living in Zion, the new city of the Living God in My Holy Mountain that surrounds them and in which all of My children have access to Me. (Hebrews 12:22-24) The writer of the book of Hebrews said that My voice had shaken the earth before but that I would once more shake the old earth but also the old heaven so that all that is unable to be shaken that is of Me will remain, unseating all of the power of the demons in the earth and the heavens. (Hebrews 12:28; Matthew 24:35) The writer of the book of Hebrews also wrote about the changes in the earth and the heavens when My new covenant of the Holy Spirit became reality in the earth. The revelation became evident that I am a consuming fire, eager to burn out the demonic holds that the devil has on My children. (Hebrews 12:29; Ezekiel 1:13-14 and 20) The entire power of My character and My heaven became available to My children when My kingdom of God came to live inside of My children under the covenant of My Holy Spirit. You have every kind of My arsenal in the heavens and earth at your disposal. Go and do as Jesus did, but you must endeavor to do the greater thing of which He taught, which is to cast the demons out of the earth and into the lake of fire in the abyss. My angels will usher them into the lake of fire which I prepared for them before the foundation of the world just in case the first people, Adam and Eve, invited the demons to share the earth with them. (John 14:12; Matthew 13;36-42) When you and My other children do such a marvelous work to which you are called, you will shine like the sun in the earth and people will glorify Me and My name. Your Father of a Miraculous Kingdom

BLESSINGS OF THE NEW COVENANT

My Dear Precious Child, The prophet Jeremiah prophesied about My New Covenant with human beings years before the birth of Jesus Christ. His prophesies are often called the "Gospel before the Gospel took place" in Jeremiah chapter 31 verses 31-34). It was referred to as My promise to My children in the earth. His calling from Me is found in the first chapter. As spoken by him, Jeremiah said that My words came to him saying that before he was born I knew him in his mother's womb and I dedicated him to be a prophet to the nations, not just the Jewish nation. Jeremiah spoke to Me saying that he didn't how how to speak because he was too young. I told him not to say that he was too young because wherever I sent him he would go and what I commanded to say that he would say those specific words, that he should have no fear before the nations because I was with him to deliver him from the fear. Then I extended My hand and touched the mouth of Jeremiah and said, "See, I place My words in your mouth. This day I set you over spiritual nations and over spiritual kingdoms, to root up and to tear down, to destroy and demolish the evil ones and to build and to plant righteous ones." Then I asked Jeremiah what he saw and he replied that he saw an almond tree, the first to blossom in the springtime. Then I said to him, "You have seen well for I am watching over My word to fulfill every word that I speak through you." (Jeremiah 1:9-12) I told Jeremiah that evil armies would come from the north against Israel and I would have Jeremiah pronounce My sentence upon the nation of Israel for their wickedness in leaving me for strange gods. Then I told Jeremiah to gird up his loins, to stand up and proclaim all that I told him to say. I told him not to be crushed on My account as if I had abandoned him, but instead that I had made him a fortified city, a pillar of iron, a wall of brass against all of the nations. I told him that they would fight against him but that I would not let them prevail over him because I was with him to deliver him. (Jeremiah 1:16-17; Jeremiah 13:1-10) Later, under My new covenant of the Holy Spirit, I said through Peter that My children must gird up the loins of their minds, meaning to cast out any doubts and unbelief out of their minds, and to trust Me. ( I Peter 1:7-19) Then I explained to Jeremiah the cause of Isaiah always sabotaging itself by joining with the demons of rebellion by going after idols and then becoming empty themselves. They surmised that I had left them when they had actually left Me, the God who had endeavored to lead them into a garden land loaded with goodly fruits. They had entered and then they defiled the promised land and they asked where I had gone when it was themselves who had left Me. I asked them does any other nation change gods, yet the ones that they substitute for Me are not gods at all. I said that years ago at the beginning that Israel had also left Me by yielding to two evil demons, one which caused them to forsake Me, the source of Living Waters, and they had tried to replace the waters by digging cisterns themselves that held no water. I told Jeremiah to tell Israel that I had planted their country as a choice vine so how could it turn out to be obnoxious to Me? I listed the many other ways that the people of Israel had rebelled against Me and I indicated that, because they had sinned against Me, how dare they still plead with Me for My favor as if they were still loyal to Me and My words of prophesy. I caused them to remember that they had said that they had moved on to other gods and that they would come to Me no more. (Jeremiah 3:4-16) I told Jeremiah to tell the elders of the nation of Israel that at the beginning of time of the earth that I had the thought of how should I treat the people of Israel as My sons and I decided to give them a land more beautiful than other nations and that as a result they would call Me "My Father," is what I thought would happen, and I hoped that they would never stop following Me. But, as I told them, they were just like a woman who was faithless to her lover, that they had also been faithless to Me. I told them that they could return to Me if they would put away all of the false gods and yield only to Me. That scene replayed over and over again between Israel and Myself until all of the prophesies concerning Jesus coming to save the world were spoken by prophets. They left Me over and over again and I sent prophets to them to restore them to Me each time. I told them that just like I had watched over them to uproot and pull down, to destroy, harm and ruin the demonic spirits, that I would send My good spirits to build and to plant. I told Jeremiah that the day was coming when I would make a new covenant with the house of Israel and the house of Judah and that it would not be like the one that I made with their forefathers. In the new covenant that I would make with them, I said this time I would write My words in their individual minds and on their individual hearts and that I would individually be their God and they would be My people, that no longer would there be a need to teach anyone to know Me, because from the least to the greatest they would know Me and I would no longer remember their evil doings and their sins. (Jeremiah 31:31-34) That promise was fulfilled after His resurrection when Christ Jesus told His disciples to go and wait for My promise through Jeremiah and other prophets to be fulfilled.(Acts 1:1-8) On the day of Pentecost I did exactly as I had promised. I instituted a new covenant with humanity, the covenant of the Holy Spirit, where I come to live inside of each person and I remember their sins no longer, plus I write My words in their minds and in their hearts, allowing My words to proceed out of their mouths in spiritual languages which proclaim My good news of the Gospel of Jesus Christ in prophesies that glorify My name, allowing Me to tear down demonic kingdoms and build My new kingdom of heaven inside of them, thus instituting a new earth and new heavens. (Acts 2:1-13) From the days of Jeremiah after he prophesied the coming days of My final covenant of the Holy Spirit coming to live inside of My children, Israel continued to sin for generations and I continued to speak to them through Jeremiah and other prophets about their need to repent and turn back to Me. Then John the Baptist came to pave the way for My Own Son, the Lord Jesus, prophesying about John the Baptist being unable to even touch the sandals on the feet of Jesus Christ, the Savior. (John 1:19-34) My promise was beginning to be fulfilled and a few years later on the day of Pentecost it was totally fulfilled, bringing My salvation into the earth to the people who remain loyal to the gospel of Jesus Christ. My promise continues to be fulfilled in the lives of My children who follow My command to be filled with My Holy Spirit and prophesy My will that is to be done in their own lives in everything that concerns them by their praying in the language of My Holy Spirit which transforms them, their lives and the earth.

BLESSED BY PRAYING IN THE HOLY SPIRIT

My Dear Precious Child, The letter from Jude to the churches was written by the brother of James and it mirrors the former letters of several apostles in its themes. His salutation to them is filled with doctrine itself. He wrote to the people who are called by Me, especially to those who have found love in Me as their Father, and they are safely guarded in Christ Jesus. No other letter from the apostles begins with that distinct a beginning, proclaiming that they have been called by Me, that there is Fatherly love in Me, and also that they have been guarded safety by Christ Jesus. Each one of those is a spiritual doctrine in itself. (Jude 1-2) Jude began by saying that he wanted to encourage them to fight hard for the faith that was delivered once and for all to the saints. He had intended to write about the salvation that they had all received but switched topics and decided to write about the false prophets who had invaded the body of Christ. He wrote more descriptively by saying that the false prophets had wormed their way into the church. He called them godless people who had long ago been destined for condemnation and destruction. He wrote that they had perverted the gracious gift of Mine to excess, denying Jesus Christ as the only Master and Lord. (Jude 3-4) He also wrote that he was going to remind them of some things of which they were already aware: first being that I had rescued the people of Israel from the land of Egypt but the ones who did not believe were destroyed. There were angels, too, who did not keep to their own domain, deserting their own dwelling place. Those rebellious angels, called demons, "are kept in perpetual bondage, shrouded in the murky darkness of judgment day." He reminded them that the towns of Sodom and Gomorrah indulged in lust just like the angels did. As they undergo eternal fire, they are examples to us of their judgment. He also noted that they pollute the flesh of people, making light of My judgment as they practice unnatural vice, and they inherit punishment for eternity. He also gave the example of Michael, the archangel, when his case was being disputed concerning the body of Moses Michael did not charge him with blasphemy. He did not include his own judgment, he just said that he would leave it up to Me to punish him. He said they were like brute animals, reviling the things of which they have no knowledge but they are corrupted by their own instincts, and they are worse because of it. They have taken the same road as Cain, abandoning themselves to Balaam's error and they perish in their rebellion.(Jude 5-11) Jude wrote that those sinners are blotches on the community, joining solemn feasts without shame, having been blown about by winds on clouds that have no rain. They bear no fruit, being dead and jerked up by their roots. He also described them as being wild ocean waves, splashing their shameless deeds abroad like foam or shooting stars who find their end in darkness forever. Then Jude quoted the writing of Enoch, his being the 7th generation after Adam, who prophesied by saying, "See, the Lord has come with countless holy ones surrounding Him to pass judgment on all men, indicting the godless for every evil deed they have done and convicting the godless sinners of every harsh word they have uttered against Him. " (Enoch 14f) Jude describes them as grumblers and whiners, living by their own passions, and whenever it is expedient they resort to flattery. (Jude 12-16) He also wrote in his letter for them to remember the prophetic words of the apostles and the Lord Jesus Christ the truth that they repeated over and over that in the last days of the covenant of the Holy Spirit there would be imposters living by their godless passions. They are devoid of My Spirit and cause divisions among My children. However, My instructions to you as My children if for you to grow strong in your faith that was given as a gift to you by praying in the language of the Holy Spirit and persevering in My love, welcoming My mercy which leads to eternal life. Jude told the believers in his letter to correct the people who are confused and he wrote that there are others who need to be rescued by snatching them from the fire. He urged them that toward even those whom they pitied that they must guard themselves by being disgusted by even their flesh-stained clothing. (Jude 20-23) Jude closed his letter by proclaiming that there is One who can protect them, and also you, from a fall and make you continue to be unblemished and triumphant in My presence of His glory, Jesus Christ the Righteous One by whom glory is given to My children even in ages past, now and for ages to come. So be it, Amen. (Jude 24-25) My children must heed the advice of Jude to build themselves up on their most holy faith by praying in the language of the Holy Spirit. Their holy faith is the faith given to them by Me as a gift of the Holy Spirit, faith that exceeds human faith and belief; faith that produces miracles and revelation which cause you to refuse the temptations of the flesh which the devil presents to your mind constantly. It is only with My gift of faith that you can resist those temptations. Previously, Jesus, Himself, was strong in his warning to James, John and Peter to stay awake and pray at least an hour so that they would not fall for the devil's temptation to sin. Instead of praying they continued to sleep and later Peter succumbed to the devil's temptation to deny knowning Christ, his Savior to whom he had professed that he would never leave Him because Jesus was the only one who had the words of eternal life. Because he was not built up in faith by praying in the Holy Spirit, Peter yielded to the temptation to lie and he denied knowing Christ three times. (Matthew 26:36-45) Jude knew the power of divine faith that is produced by My children praying in the Holy Spirit. After his writing about the sexual sins with which the devil tempts My children, He wrote to the believers that the only way to resist those temptations was by their building up their Holy Faith by praying in the Holy Spirit. By building up your spiritual muscles, you are able to resist temptations to which other people yield. Your Father of Strong Power and Faith

BLESSED BY TRUTH INFUSIONS

My Dear Precious Child, The apostle/disciple John, who referred to himself as the one whom Jesus loved, was not shy to share his love for everyone, men as well as women in the church. His main focus was always love because he had so completely discerned the Divine Love that Jesus Christ had shared with him, the kind that forgives all sin, overlook differences, bears the burden of others and understands that the flesh of people is controlled by evil spirits so the actions of flesh are not always the actions of the real person who lives inside of himself or herself. In John's third letter which was written to Gaius, he addressed him as "Beloved," and wrote that he wished good health on his disciple and that he hoped that Gaius was thriving in all other areas of life as well as he was thriving in the Spirit, which was a real compliment to the disciple. John even wrote that it had come to his knowledge that the disciple was truly walking in the path of truth and that nothing delighted John more than to hear that some of his spiritual children were walking in the path of truth. Again John called Gaius "Beloved," and wrote to him about the demonstration of fidelity in all that he did was well known by spiritual brothers who were strangers but they had testified about the love of which Gaius was well know by believers. He also wrote that it would be good if Gaius helped the spiritual brothers to continue on their journey because it was in the name of Christ that they had set out on their journey, having accepted nothing from the pagan believers. Therefore, he wrote, the other believers owed it to such missionaries to support them and thus have a share of the work. In addition to his words of comfort and guidance, John wrote that he had written to another believer but had been ignored by him. John described that believer as being one who enjoyed being a leader and when John came into that believer's presence that John was going to speak publicly relating to the believer's having spread evil nonsense about John and his fellow ministers. He also wrote that the believer was not only spreading the nonsense but he refused to welcome other believing brothers himself and even kept other believers from doing so, even expelling them from the church. Again John called Gaius "Beloved," asking him not to engage in what was evil but only what was good, professing that whoever does what is good if of Me but whoever does evil has never seen Me. He wrote that the evil believer was able to get good testimonies from people but John wrote that he and his disciples were also able to testify to truth, proclaiming that their testimonials were from truth. John closed his letter by writing that he had much more to write relating to that subject, but did not want to do it with pen and ink. Instead, he expected to see his disciple Gaius soon and they would talk face to face. John ended the letter wishing peace in the life of Gaius and he wrote that the beloved brothers with him sent their greetings and asked that he greet the beloved believers there, each one by name. As you can see by his writing this third letter that he was concerned with someone whom he viewed as possibly being a false teacher, which was most often the main theme of the letters also written by Paul, Peter, James, Jude and other apostles to the believers under their ministries. They knew that the devil targets dedicated believers in Christ, sending his false teachers into their midst to pollute the gospel of Christ Jesus by infusing untruths into the minds of the people, most often requiring that the believers put the new wine of the covenant of the Holy Spirit into the bottles of Jewish Mosaic Law given through Moses, which was the old, default covenant which became null and void when My Holy Spirit entered into the lives of the disciples in the upper room on the day of Pentecost. It doesn't work to combine the old and the new. The new wine breaks the bottles and spills out onto the ground, meaning that the gospel of Christ Jesus cannot be contained in old customs, traditions, doctrines or laws. When I write My words on the hearts and in the minds of My children by the power of the Holy Spirit, new life is created, especially when they pray in the language of My Holy Spirit in intercessory prayers, which allows My angels to deal with the demons behind all sin. Oh, that My children would consider every child of Mine as being Beloved. When you do, the windows of heaven open and My blessings flow to you. (Ephesians 3:20; Matthew 13:36-42; Ephesians 6:10-19) Your Beloved Father

BLESSED BY THE KNOWLEDGE OF LOVE AND TRUTH

My Dear Precious Child, Of course the apostle and disciple John in his second letter to a female believer wrote that in truth and love he wrote to her, and not only that he was writing only to her but also to the brethren who had come to know the truth. He wrote that the love with which he wrote the second letter was based upon the truth that abides in all believers and will be with them forever. He also wrote that in truth and love that all believers would have grace, mercy and peace from Me, the Father, and from Jesus Christ, My Son. He wrote that it had given great joy to him to learn that some of her children were walking in My paths that I set ahead of them, just like I had commanded. (II John 1-3) He emphasized his own command by calling her "My Lady," and writing to her that what he was commanding of her was not a new commandment but one that all believers knew from the start, that being that they love one another and that that love involves their walking according to My commandments through Christ Jesus as they had heard from Him from the beginning, and of which He said was the proper way for them to walk. (II John 4-7) John reminded her that many deceitful men had gone out into the world preaching a new gospel that did not acknowledge that Jesus Christ had come in the flesh, which is the antichrist. He cautioned the lady to whom he was writing that she not lose what she had gained, writing that she must persist until she gets her reward in full. He wrote that anyone who professes that he or she is so enlightened that he or she does not remain rooted in the teaching about Jesus Christ, that person does not possess both Jesus Christ and the Father. He cautioned that if anyone comes to her house and does not teach Jesus Christ as being My Son, that she was not to let the person into her house, that she was not even to greet the person because anyone who greets the false prophet shares in the evil that he does. (II John 8-11) He wrote in this second letter that there was much, much more that he needed to tell her, but he did not want to put it down on paper, desiring instead and hoping to visit with her personally so that both of their joy would be full. He also gave to her the greetings of her sister in Christ who had sent her loving greetings along through John also.(II John 12-13) There was a great outpouring in the earth of the demons of the antichrist after the beginning of My new covenant of the Holy Spirit. The devil was mad that he had lost some of his earthly coverts and so he sent his missionaries into the earth to pollute the gospel of Jesus Christ, claiming that Jesus was not My Son but that he was merely a minister of mental persuasions instead of His being a minister of My powerful spiritual actions like were demonstrated through Him. Even though the second letter from John to the lady was short, it reiterated the truths that were contained in the first letter, adding his yes, amen, and so be it. Take his advice and do not believe any false teachers. John was probably writing personally to the particular lady because it's logical that she was probably a widow and did not have a husband who would protect her from apostasy, which was the abandonment of her original beliefs in Christ Jesus as being My Son. He felt responsible for keeping her alerted because the habit of the false prophets was to seek out widows who were desirous of a man to be their protector and provider, as the Holy Spirit had taught through Paul in his letter to Timothy. (II Timothy 3:1-7) It was then and still is a persistent problem in the body of Christ. Your Father of Cautious Warnings

BLESSED FROM BEING GOD'S CHILD OF LOVE

My Dear Precious Child, The ApostleJohn wrote his first letter to believers in an effort to solidify within their minds that I am Love and that they are Love if My Spirit lives inside of them. He wrote in the first letter that everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ has been born of My Seed, meaning being born of My spiritual, divine sperm of the Holy Spirit, the same Seed that overcame Mary and produced inside of her womb the Savior Jesus Christ. So everyone who loves Me, the Father, also loves My Son who was born with My Seed of Love inside of Him, also. By that knowledge you can be sure that you also love My other children because you love Me and you do what I command you to do in order for you to escape the evil that is in the world. (I John 5:1-2) So you can say that loving Me causes you to keep My commandments and you know that My commandments are not burdensome. When you have My divine Seed of the Holy Spirit inside of you, you can conquer the world because the power that conquers the world is your faith that is a fruit of My Holy Spirit. My Faith is Power. So, then, the people who conquer the world are the people who believe that Jesus is My Son. He was born into the world through the water that was in Mary's womb, but also through the bloodline of My Holy Spirit, not only by water but also the blood. I tell you that it is the Spirit who testifies to this truth; so there are the Spirit, the blood and the water which testify because all three are in agreement.(I John 5:3-8) People should not accept human testimony because My testimony is so much greater, the testimony that I have given to the world on behalf of My Son. Whoever believes in the Son of God has that testimony of assurance in his or her own heart. People make Me a liar if they do not believe that I sent My Son into the world to save the world from sin. My testimony is this: I give to people Eternal Life and that life is in My Son. So whoever possesses Life possesses My Son and whoever does not possess My Son does not possess Life. (I John 5:9-12) John then wrote that the reason that he was writing the letter to the believers was to make them realize that they possess Eternal Life if they believe in the name of My Son. Then he assured the believers that they must have confidence in Me, the confidence that I hear your requests whenever you ask for anything according to My will. He then spoke a Truth when he wrote that since you know that I hear you whenever you ask, then you must know that what you ask for is yours already. (I John 5:13-15; Matthew 12:31-32) When you see a brother sinning, if it is not a deadly sin then you should petition Me and Life will be given to that sinner. (John 20:21-23) He qualified that Truth by repeating that the sin must not be a deadly sin. John repeated that there are deadly sins and that he did not say that you should pray that those sins will be forgiven. He reiterated that all wrongdoing is sin but not all sin is deadly. (I John 5:16-18; ) John assured the believers that no one born of My Seed commits sin but rather that I protect the believers who are born of the Holy Spirit and I keep the evil one from touching them. He reminded the believers that the whole world is under the evil one, the devil; but they belong to Me. Also he reminded them that My Son had come to earth and given to believers the discernment to recognize the One who is true, and those are the ones who are in My Son Jesus Christ. He is the true God and He is Eternal Life; so you must be on guard against idols. (I John 5:19-21) John was intent in this letter to believers to make sure they had the revelation that I am Love and that My blood in Jesus Christ, who was the Holy Spirit, has come to live inside of them and cleanses them of all sins. By that revelation they know that they are in Me and I am in them. Your Father of Love and Truth

My Dear Precious Child, John, the Divine, knew the Love that I had for him by the love shown to Him by Christ Jesus and by My allowing him and you to be called My child. Yes, that is what you are, My child, but the reason the world does not recognize you as My child is because they never recognized My Son. Yet, you are My child now but what you shall be later when you are in heaven has not come completely to light although Jesus said that you would be like the angels, but My child instead of My servant. (Matthew 22:29-30) John wrote that it is known that when it comes to your being in the Light that you will be like Christ Jesus because you will see Him completely as He is. That is why you must keep yourself pure, as He is pure. (I John 3:1-3) The apostle John wrote to the churches that anyone who sins acts lawlessly because sin is lawlessness. He reminded the readers of his letter that the reason that Jesus Christ revealed Himself was to take away sins because there is nothing sinful in Him. So the person who remains in Him does not sin; but the person who does sin has not known Him or seen Him. He stressed that as My little ones they should not let anyone deceive them. The person who acts in holiness is holy instead of sinful even as the Son is Holy. (I John 3:4-7) Then John put that truth in plain language by saying that anyone who sins belongs to the devil because the devil was a sinner from the beginning. He also made it plain that the reason that My Son came into the world was to destroy the works of the devil. He wrote that no one who is born again of My Seed acts sinfully because he or she remains My spiritual stock; therefore he or she cannot sin because of being born again of My Eternal Seed. He emphasized that truth again by saying that no one whose actions are unholy belongs to Me and no one who fails to love his or her brother or sister belongs to Me. (I John 3:8-10) Then John reminded them that the message heard from the beginning of time was that you should love one another and not follow the example of Cain who belonged to the evil one and killed his brother. The reason that Cain killed his brother was because his own deeds were wicked while his brother's deeds were pure. So you should not be surprised if the world hates you. It is because you have passed from death into life that you know that you love your brothers and sisters. Actually the person who does not love is among the living dead. Anyone who hates his brother or sister is a murderer and you know that My Eternal Life does not live in the heart of a murderer. (I John 3:11-15) John went on to write in his first letter to the churches that the way for you to understand His love was to realize that Christ Jesus laid down His life for you; so, therefore, you must lay down your life for your brothers and sisters. He went on to write a question, writing how can My love survive in a person who has enough of the earth's wealth, yet he closes his heart to his brother or sister when he sees them in need? His admonition was that, as My child, you must love in deed and in truth and not just merely talk about it. (I John 3:16-18) He wrote that the way to know that you are committed to truth is that there is peace in your heart no matter what your conscience may charge you with because I am greater than your conscience because all is known to Me. So, if your conscience has nothing to charge you with, you can be sure that I am with you and that you will receive whatever you ask. (I John 3:19-22) Why do I promise that? Because you are keeping My commands to you and doing what is pleasing in My sight. The command is that you believe in the name of My Son Jesus Christ and love one another as I commanded you. The people who keep My commandment remains in Me and I in them. This is the way you know that I remain in you, from the presence of the Holy Spirit that I gave to you. (I John 3:23-24) John's words convey My Love in his every phrase, prime examples of his knowing My love to a high degree. Make sure that you also know the revelation of the height, length, depth and breadth of My love for you. (Ephesians 3:14-20) When you do, whatever you ask will be exceedingly, abundantly done for you, more than you dare ask, pray, dream or believe, according to the power of My Holy Spirit who lives inside of you. Your Father of Love

BLESSINGS FROM WALKING IN THE LIGHT

My Dear Precious Child, The disciple/apostle John was enamored with fellowshipping with Me and with Christ Jesus, writing that it is that unity with Christ Jesus that cleanses believers from sin. His fellowship with Jesus when He was in the flesh was legendary because of John's sense of being loved so much by My Son Jesus. Because of John's being able to sense My eternal love for him through Jesus, John didn't want to disappoint Me by yielding to sin. John addressed particular members of the churches by calling out the fathers and writing that by knowing Christ in the flesh in the beginning of His ministry, they knew that their sins were forgiven. He also called out the young men, addressing them by writing that they had conquered the devil, which was unusual because Paul, James and Peter had addressed them by warning them about the false teachers to whom they had referred many times. Yet John addressed the children by writing that they had known Me, writing that they had also known Me who has always been from the beginning. He addressed the young men again, writing that they were strong in faith because My word remained in them and so they had conquered the devil.(I John 2:12-14) John went on to write advice that urged the people not to love anything that is of the world because if anyone loves things of the world then My Love has no place in him or her. He wrote that nothing of the world comes from Me, they are only carnal allurements, enticements for the eye, because those things derive from an empty life that comes from the world. He wrote that the things that are of the world are temporary and will eventually pass away, but the person who does My will endures forever. (I John 2:15-17) In John's letter to believers he commented that their time on earth was in the final hour because they had heard that the antichrist was coming. He also wrote that they surely acknowledged that many such antichrists had already appeared, which made it clear that the timing of the final hour was the timing of My glorious final covenant with human beings of My kingdom of God having come into their lives on earth. Concerning the antichrists, John wrote that those antichrists had once been believers, not really belonging to the body of Christ or they would have remained in the body of Christ, which is the church; which only proved that they were never really a part of My body. However, John wrote that the believers to whom he addressed his letter had the anointing that they had from the Holy One so all of my knowledge remained with them. (I John 2: 18-20) In fact, John wrote that he was not writing his letter because the readers did not know the Truth, but instead that they did know the Truth, knowing that no lie is in common with the Truth. He asked in his letter who the liars are? He answered himself by writing the answer to his question, writing that the liars are those people who do not believe that Jesus is the Christ; emphasizing that the antichrist is anyone who does not believe that Jesus is the Christ, which is denying both the Father and the Son. So anyone who denies the Son has no claim on knowing Me, the Father; but anyone who acknowledges the Son can claim knowing the Father as well. (I John 2:21-23 ) John wrote that the believers to whom he was writing the letter must let what they heard from the beginning remain in their hearts because they still believed what they heard from the beginning, which meant that they still believed in the Son and in the Father. Jesus Christ, Himself, made a promise and the promise was this: Eternal Life for believers. He wrote that his letter was written by him so as to alert them to the men who were sent to deceive them. Again John wrote that, as for them, the anointing of the Holy Spirit remained in their hearts. He mirrored Paul's comment to Timothy, writing that the anointing that the believers received from the Holy Spirit remained in their hearts and that He would teach them all things from Me. He wrote that all things that are taught by the Holy Spirit, who gifts the anointing, teaches them all things that are pure and free from any lies, as the anointing of the Holy Spirit has taught them. (I John 2:24-27) In the letter John cautioned the readers to always remain in Him so that when He further reveals Himself to them they would be fully confident in the Truth and not retreat in shame at His revelations of Himself to them. He wrote to them that if they consider My Holiness, they can be sure that everyone who acts holy has been brought to Eternal Life by Christ. (I John 2:28-29) The main writings of John in his first letter concern My love for My children and My gift of Eternal Life that I have given to them. He was like Paul in the fact that in a vision he had been to heaven and he had reviewed a complete history of My loving dealings with My children and the earth that I had created for them. John treasured the revelation that he had received about My love because it was in that revelation that He began to intimately know Me and revel in My Love. Like James, John knew that I am Love and in Me there is no shadow of turning to become evil on one hand and loving on the other hand as some believers are still teaching. (James 1:17) When someone teaches that lie, that shows that the person has become an unbeliever until My true nature of Love is revealed to him or her. I am Love. Never forget it. I'm the Father who pursues the lost ones until they are saved! (Luke 15:4-7) Your Father of Constant and Forever Love

BLESSED BY KNOWING CHRIST AS LOVE AND LIFE

My Dear Precious Child, In the first letter of John to the churches he felt that he was compelled to straighten out the beliefs of certain religious people who were questioning the divinity of Jesus Christ and also even questioned His humanity of being My Son in human flesh. False teachers had invaded the churches with intellectual doubts and John, who had walked and talked with Jesus Christ, began his first letter by trying to convince the doubters that he had not only seen Christ but that he had witnessed His divinity in action. John began his first letter by proclaiming that he was one of the disciples who had not only seen the Christ, but that he had also touched Him with his own human hands. He testified in the letter that the life of Jesus Christ had become visible to other people also and that he was one of the people who could bear witness to it. He wrote about that Jesus Christ was the Eternal Life that is present in Me and He became visible to humans. John wrote that what he and other men had seen and heard Him, and they proclaimed it to other people so that they might also share His Life with everyone. He made it clear that the fellowship that they had is with Me and with My Son, Jesus Christ, and that the reason for writing that truth in his writing is so that the joy of the readers might be full. (I John 1:1-4) The message in the first letter is what the disciples had heard from Him so that they could announce it to the readers, and to you, and the message is that I am light and that in Me there is no darkness at all. So if you say that you have fellowship with Me and continue walking in darkness, then you are a liar and you don't walk in Truth. But, he wrote, if you walk in the Light as Christ is in the light, then you have fellowship with Christ, and He has fellowship with you, and the blood of Jesus Christ cleanses you from sin. But, it you say that you are free from the guilt of sin, then you have deceived yourself and the Truth is not found in you. But, if you acknowledge your sins, then Christ Jesus, who is just and can be trusted to forgive your sins, will cleanse you from every wrong action. If you say that you have not sinned, then you make Christ out to be a liar and His words have no place in you.(I John 1:5-10) In his first letter John wrote that he was writing the letter to encourage the readers not to sin; but, if anyone does sin, then they have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous, and He is the offering for your sin; and not for only your sin but for the sins of the whole world. (I John 2:1-2) Then John outlined the way for you to tell that you know Him and that is if you keep His commandments. He wrote that the person who says that he knows Jesus Christ and does not keep Him commandments is a liar and there is no Truth in that person. However, whoever follows My instructions in the words of Christ Jesus truly has been made perfect in Him and in that way you can be sure that you are united with Him, because a person who claims to abide in Him will conduct himself or herself just like Christ Jesus did when He walked the earth in human flesh. In referring to His commandments, John wrote that he was not referring to any new commandment, but instead an old one that they had from the very beginning which is the commandment that they had already heard from Him and that was realized in you, that being that the darkness is over and the real life has begun; plus, the real Light has begun to shine in the hearts of the believers in Christ. John wrote that a person who claims to know Me and hates his brother but claims to be in the Light, then all the while he is in darkness even then. John proclaimed that a person who continues in the Light is the one who loves his brother and there is nothing in him to cause him to fall; but a person who hates his brother is in darkness, walks in shadows, and does not know where he is going because the darkness has blinded his eyes, speaking of the devil as being the darkness. John's revelation of the commandment to love one another is the fulfillment of all the Jewish laws. Jesus Christ said that all of the laws are contained in the one which says to love the Lord your God and to love your neighbor as yourself. Because John was the disciple who referred to himself as "the one whom Jesus loved,' He had a revelation of the transforming power of My Love. John's revelation of Love is the foundation of My kingdom of God. To build a religion on any other foundation will eventually cause a great falling away in you because you do not know Me intimately but you only know Me by the hearing of your ears, like Job who was cursed in every way, but who repented when he met Me face to face. (Job 42:1-6) Paul, who did not walk with Jesus when Jesus was in the flesh but met Christ Jesus as the Risen Christ, he wrote that his determined purpose in life was to know Me so intimately that he was conformed into My image. My children must have that as their determined purpose in order for them to overcome the evil that is in the world by the power of My Holy Spirit is to know Me intimately face to face by revelation of My words. Your Father of Revelation Knowledge

BLESSED FROM AVOIDING FALSE TEACHINGS

My Dear Precious Child, In Peter's second letter to the Gentile and Jewish believers in Christ Jesus, he warned again, as he did in his first letter, about false teachers and their errors. He reminded them that I had spoken corrective words through a mere beast at one time to a man who was seeking dishonest gain. (Numbers 22:28) Writing collectively about false teachers, he wrote that they are waterless springs, mere mists whipped up by a gale of demons and that the darkest gloom has been reserved for them. He wrote that they spoke blasting words with passion while having lustful ways in their own flesh, ministering to the people who have just become free of a life of errors. He wrote that they promise freedom yet they are slaves of corruption. He clarified that by saying that any person is a slave of anything which has overcome him or her. He further clarified his truth by writing that a person who has left the passions of the world by accepting Christ Jesus as his or her Savior but then is caught up and overcome by pollution once more, that their last condition is worse than the first one. He wrote that it would be better for that person to never have experienced the road to holiness than to have turned their backs on the holiness of My words once they had experienced it. He even compared it to a dog who has returned to eat his own vomit or a pig who bathes in its own filth by wallowing in polluted mud. (II Peter 2:17-22) Peter was consumed with the teaching of a second coming of Christ and a judgment which was to follow, even though Christ had come in the person of the Holy Spirit on the day of Pentecost, as was experienced by Peter and over 3,000 people when My Holy Spirit came to live inside of people. My kingdom of God came into the earth to live inside of people, as taught by Jesus Christ to the disciples to pray, (Matthew 6:10) and My kingdom of God also surrounded the people in the spiritual dimension, giving them the power of My Holy Spirit over evil and the power of My Holy Spirit to judge the demons from hell who had cursed the world that I had created to be a replica in the earth of My heaven. Those of My children have My authority over all evil, doing the "greater things" about which Jesus spoke and was prophesied by John, the Divine. (John 14:12; Matthew 13:36-42; Hebrews 12:1 and 22 - 29.) Also, Peter recognized some things had been fulfilled in the earth relating to what was prophesied as the "last days" and Christ had not come again and people were asking where was the second coming of Christ? The believers from that generation had already died and been laid to rest. He surmised that in the beginning of the earth that it was taken out of the waters and then by waters it was destroyed, being overwhelmed by the deluge when Noah and his family was saved. Peter was convinced that the earth would be destroyed by fire on a day that would come like a thief in the night. He also surmised that a day to Me is like a thousand years and a thousand years is like a day so that Christ's coming was not like Jesus promised when Jesus said that there were some people alive when He was crucified who would see His coming again. Many events happened at the crucifixion of Christ that fulfilled the events related to his second coming, which many people saw as being His resurrection from the dead and then his coming again in the person of the Holy Spirit to live inside of people with the anointing of My Holy Spirit and My authority to execute judgment upon the demons of the earth by casting them into the lake of fire that I created before the foundation of the earth for their judgment. Many people questioned Peter's expectations of the earth being destroyed by My judgment of fire because of Jesus Christ saying that He came into the world to save it by establishing a new covenant with people, saying that He had not come to destroy the world. (John 3:16-17) Peter encouraged the believers to wait for Christ to come back to earth again to destroy it, and to create a new heaven and a new earth. Peter even mentioned Paul's writings relating to this subject of the second coming of Christ. Even though he called Paul a beloved brother in Christ, he wrote in this second letter that Paul had written in his special wisdom about this matter as he did in all of his letters. Peter wrote that there were certain passages written by Paul that were difficult to understand and so the ignorant and unstable people had distorted them to their own ruin. Peter encouraged the readers of His letter to continue to grow in grace and in the knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ while waiting for Christ to come back to earth so that He wouldn't find them lacking in knowledge and virtue. There was very little truth in Peter's letters relating to the power of My Holy Spirit residing inside of My born again and Holy Spirit baptized children and their power over evil demons, as was taught by Christ Jesus, taught by Paul and recorded by John before Christ was crucified. (John 14, 15, 16 and 17) Earlier Paul had criticized Peter for teaching that born again Gentiles should be circumcised and Paul referred to Peter as being in error by bringing Gentiles under Jewish law found in the old covenant. So it appears that there continued to be different beliefs between Peter and Paul relating to doctrinal matters. However, there was deep respect from each apostle for the ministry of the other one. That attitude was necessary for their ministries to continue in peace. Your Father of the Spirit of Truth

BLESSED FROM AVOIDING FALSE TEACHERS

My Dear Precious Child, Peter, in his second letter to the Jewish and Gentile believers warned them about false teachers who, as he put it, smuggled in pernicious heresies. At one time the apostle Paul considered Peter to be a false teacher because Peter was set on having new believers become circumcised like in the old covenant of the Jewish religion. Paul was convinced that circumcision in that religion, which contained many prophesies concerning Christ Jesus, was only a prophesy indicative of a person having the veil removed from their minds which separate them from Me. It was only a religious tradition to the Jews of what would happen when My new covenant began. In other words, circumcision in the flesh of men was only a prophesy of a more perfect spiritual event to come into the lives of people when they are born again and My words become alive to them because the veil of sin and ignorance has been removed from their minds. Peter had not taught that fleshly circumcision was necessary for salvation, only that it was a nice addition to their born again experience, which was also an error because it was putting new wine into old bottles, as warned by Christ Jesus. Peter and Paul solved their doctrinal differences later on. In Peter's second letter he professed to the dangers of allowing false prophets or false teachings to corrupt the body of Christ. The dangerous false prophets were, and still are in your age of My new covenant, the ones who taught that Christ Jesus was not the way to salvation when truth says that He is the only way to overcome the devil in their lives in the earth, which is the salvation that Christ Jesus taught is necessary for My children. (II Peter 2:1-2) Many of the false prophets were Jewish traditionalists who continued to cling to the old religious practices and traditions, requiring born again believers to also practice their powerless traditions. Peter wrote that their fabricated tales, greed and lust had condemned them but they still continued in their evil beliefs. He wrote that the false prophets would reap destruction for what they preached and taught. Peter wrote in his second letter that I did not spare the angels who chose to follow satan in his rebellion. I assigned them to pits of darkness to be guarded until the time of their judgment came, which is when My children who are born of My Spirit and baptized in My Holy Spirit judge them and send them into the lake of fire in the abyss which I designed for them before the foundation of the world. I created the lake of fire for demons just in case they were allowed by Adam to invade the earth that I had created for My children. Those demons brought curses into the earth that I created to be a replica of My heaven. (Matthew 13:36-42; I Peter 2:3-4) Peter wrote that I also did not preserve the ancient world, even though I preserved Noah and seven other people, when the evil that people sowed into their earth resulted in their sins authorizing the devil to destroy their godless earth by a flood. The destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah was another destructive event that was caused by the demons of destruction having been given full authorization by godless people to destroy their earth; even though Lot was saved from the evil events of destruction caused by the actions of unprincipled people in their lusts. Lot was tormented by observing the lusts of his fellow inhabitants of the earth. In Peter's letter he was speaking truth when he wrote that I know how to rescue devout people from the trials of the devil while still observing the punishment of the wicked in their day of judgment from the devil. (I Peter 2:6-9) In Peter's assessment of events in the earth, he wrote that I know how to observe the punishment by evil spirits who tempt people to follow their earthly passions and desires, and then those evil spirits execute the devil's judgment on the people whom they tempted to do evil actions. They refuse to respect My authority in the earth. He wrote that there are arrogant people who revile celestial beings on whom angels, though greater in spiritual strength and power than humans, pass no judgment or sentence upon spiritual beings in My presence. The humans pour abusive words and judgments upon things of which they are ignorant. He wrote that those people are like brute animals who are born to be destroyed. They will suffer the devil's reward for their wickedness. Those fleshly influenced people practice revelry even in the daylight. He wrote that they stain and defile the traditional religious feasts in a spirit of seduction. They constantly look for a woman for them to dominate in their never ending search for sin. They lure the weaker women while their hearts are trained to be greedy. They are an accursed group of men. They have abandoned the straight path that leads to salvation and have wandered off of the path by following Balaam, a man who was attracted to dishonest gain but he was rebuked for his evil actions. I spoke to him in a human voice in the body of a beast in order to curb the prophet's madness. (II Peter 2:10-16) Peter had walked and talked with Jesus Christ while he ministered salvation to the sinful, diseased, mentally deranged, wicked and rebellious people, though they were devout religious Jews. He observed the power of the salvation of Jesus Christ when He cast demons out of people and healed their diseases that were caused by their binding themselves to the devil's temptations and fraternizing with demons who tempted their flesh with passions and desires from hell. He knew the costs that come from people binding themselves to the curses of the devil. When the people had tasted the glories of My salvation and then returned to their sins as taught by false teachers, Peter knew their future would be filled with destruction and death. He was very strict in his warnings against false teachers, even though he had once strayed off of the path that leads to life and soul peace. You must recognize the destructive teachings of the false prophets by staying in constant communication with My Holy Spirit who lives inside of you. Paul wrote one time that My Holy Spirit is the umpire who gives you the red light when you are off of the straight path that leads to eternal life. Listen to the Umpire, the voice of My Holy Spirit, who is your guide who leads you straight to the door which leads to My eternal life with its rewards. Your Guiding Father

BLESSINGS FROM HOLDING ON TO TRUTHS

My Dear Precious Child, In Peter's second letter to the Jewish and Gentile believers in Jesus Christ, He strongly proclaimed that I had given to My children EVERYTHING that is necessary for you to have the abundant life that I had promised. He also included in that proclamation that you must allow My character traits that are resident in My Holy Spirit to become reality in you in order to facilitate My promise to you. (Galatians 5:22) It is in your demonstrating My character in your life that allows My Holy Spirit and His angelic hosts to deliver to you the blessings and rewards that are yours when you display our shared character traits of goodness and love. (II Peter 1:3-5) Peter went on to write that he was going to remind the believers constantly of that truth, even though they might already understand and are firmly rooted in that truth. He wrote that the time was coming soon for his earthly tent to be folded and that he would come to be with Me. He even wrote that he would continue to press them in reminding them of that truth after he had folded his earthly tent. He wrote that it was not a myth that the power of the Lord Jesus Christ was manifested because he was one of the disciples who had witnessed His sovereign majesty while He was in the flesh and also after His glorification when He was raised from the dead. He reminded the believers that Christ Jesus received glory and praise from Me, the Heavenly Father, when that unique declaration came to Him out of the majestic splendor when I identified Him as My Son. Peter professed that he and the other disciples had heard those words said from heaven while they were in His company on the holy mountain. (II Peter 1:12-18) The apostle Peter gave his yes and amen, so be it, relating to My identification of Christ Jesus as being My Son to be reliable. He stressed that the believers must keep their attention affixed to that truth just like they would a lamp shining in a dark place until the streaks of dawn appear and the morning star arises in their hearts. He wrote that no prophesy contained in scripture is merely for one person's individual interpretation; but, instead, they are for all of My children to have as truth revealed to them by My Holy Spirit and under My influence. I said though James that if you lack wisdom that you must ask Me and I will reveal My truth to you. (James 1:5-8) In Peter's second letter to the believers he wanted to confess, affirm and profess the divinity of Christ Jesus, as well as the new birth that the believers had received when they became My children. Their spiritual new birth made them privy to EVERYTHING that the life and death of Christ afforded for them when Christ Jesus died for them, that being that they had the chance to become My birth children, the brothers and sisters of Christ, by My imparting My Holy Spirit into them. He is the same Holy Spirit who entered into Mary and created Jesus, the One who took away the sins of the world. Peter wanted to make sure that the followers of Jesus Christ never forget that truth. It is beneficial for you if you also never forget it, also. Your Father Who Made You My Child of Love

BLESSED BECAUSE OF GODLY CHARACTER TRAITS

My Dear Precious Child, In Peter's second letter to the Jewish and Gentile believers he wrote valuable and encouraging truths to them relating to the faith that they had obtained as a gift from Me in the power of Jesus Christ found in the Holy Spirit. In his beginning sentence Peter prayed that My grace and peace would be theirs through their knowing Jesus Christ through the revelations from Myself and from Jesus Christ. (II Peter 1:1-2) Then Peter professed a statement that should be encouraging and empowering to all of My children. He wrote that by My divine power, that being the power of My Holy Spirit who lives in you, I have bestowed upon all of My children EVERYTHING that is necessary for the abundant life and godliness through the knowledge of Him who has called you by His own power and glory. (II Peter 1:3) Did you notice that He wrote that EVERYTHING that is necessary for you to have a life of an abundance of blessings has already been given to you by the power of My righteousness that has been infused into you? In those words he wrote that there is no power that has been withheld from My children which would make their lives on earth a reflection of My heaven on earth, which is what Jesus taught His disciples to pray, that My kingdom would come on earth as it is in heaven. That miraculous event of My Gift Giving occurred on the day of the first Pentecost and it has occurred every time My children have become born of My Holy Spirit and baptized in My Holy Spirit. Peter went on to explain by writing that by virtue of My power of the Holy Spirit and My glory that comes into My children when My kingdom enters into their flesh when you inherit My kingdom of God, that I have bestowed upon all of you the great and precious things that I promised to My children through the prophets of old and then through Christ Jesus, My Son. Those promises are that My power and My glory of the Holy Spirit that comes upon you when you experience the fulfillment of My promise will enable you to escape the curses of the world that has been corrupted by lust and instead you become equal sharers of My divine nature. (II Peter 1:4) Then Peter listed for the believers, which include you in your age of the Covenant of the Holy Spirit, all of My virtues which you must allow to enter into your character through your becoming intimately acquainted with Me. He listed My virtues which you must allow to overtake you through your having revelation knowledge of My goodness and kindness and love. He began the list by writing that you must allow Me to reveal to you My virtue of FAITH which must be the foundation of your salvation. Then Peter wrote that you must also allow My character trait of DISCERNMENT to develop in you along with your FAITH. Next he wrote that you must then develop My character trait of SELF CONTROL along with your trait of DISCERNMENT. Next he wrote that you must allow My character trait of PERSEVERANCE to develop along with your trait of SELF CONTROL. The next virtue that you must allow to grow as your character trait is that you must allow My RIGHTEOUSNESS to grow along with your PERSEVERANCE. Then My next character trait that you must allow to grow in you is your allowing My RIGHTEOUSNESS to cause you to genuinely care for your brothers and sisters, which is the outgrowth of My LOVE. (II Peter 1:5-7) If you will notice, those character traits of Mine are referred to as some of the fruit of the Spirit by Paul in his writings. (Galatians 5:22) Peter is saying in this letter that I have given to My earthly children EVERYTHING necessary for you to become My images in the dark world so that you will shine like the sun in contrast to the darkness. Peter was saying the same thing that Paul had taught, that My character traits need to grow in you until you have the mind of Christ with the Power of My Holy Spirit which overcomes, defeats and ostracizes every demon from the earth into the lake of fire in the abyss. (Matthew 13:36-42) He went on to write that those character traits of Mine, which need to become increasingly your own, are effective in bearing the fruit of your having a true knowledge of the character traits of the Lord Jesus Christ. He wrote that anyone who lacks the qualities of My character traits is shortsighted to the point of spiritual blindness, having forgotten My heavenly gift of forgiving your sins. Peter wrote that you must be determined to make your calling of becoming My child premanent by your becoming My reflection in the earth, and your having made permanent My call upon your life by allowing My virtuous traits to become your traits also. When you allow My character traits to become your character traits, per Peter's instructions from Me, then your permanent residence in My kingdom of God through the calling of Christ Jesus on your life will allow you to be permanently provided EVERYTHING necessary for the abundant life and godliness while you live in the earth because you dominate evil passions, refusing to yield in any way to temptations in thoughts, words or actions because My own character traits have become My mature character traits in you. Your Father of Effective Character Traits

BLESSED FOR BEING HOSPITABLE AND JOYFUL

My Dear Precious Child, In Peter's first letter to the Jewish and Gentile believers in Christ Jesus he mirrored Paul, John and James in their admonitions relating to Christian virtues. He advised them to be hospitable without complaining and that they must be gracious distributors of My grace in which they use their gifts in serving other people. In their serving and your serving humanity you must do it with the strength which I have given to you so that I will be glorified through Christ Jesus, for to Him is the glory and dominion throughout all of the ages. Amen. So be it. (I Peter 4:9-11) In addition to his advice to always display the works of My Holy Spirit in your life, Peter told the people of the first church that they should not be surprised if they are tried by fire from the devil which was already occurring in other places. Those trials are sent from hell to test your faith and you must expect them so that you will not be caught off guard. Instead of complaining and operating in self pity, you must rejoice when you are tried and tempted by the devil because you are participating in the suffering of Christ. When My glory is revealed and My salvation comes to rescue you from the temptations of the devil, you will rejoice exultantly. When you are insulted, ridiculed, shamed, persecuted and insulted for the sake of Christ, it's a sign that My Holy Spirit has come to rest on you and in you, and the devil doesn't like it. However, you must not suffer by being a law breaker, a thief, a murderer or in some way being a destroyer of the rights of other people. If you suffer for being a virtuous Christian, you should not be ashamed. You should glorify Me for being called by His name, realizing that the judgment from the devil has begun for My household. Peter wrote that since the apostles had experienced tribulation that it would also extend to the body of Christ. (I Peter 4:12-17; John 16:33) He wrote that the believers must realize that if a just man is saved with difficulty, then consider what will come upon the sinners and godless people. Think about it this way, that if you suffer for Christ but keep a good attitude, continuing in good deeds, then you have given your life over to a faithful Creator who will see that you are saved from the death of the devil's tribulation. (I Peter 4:18) Peter explained relating to the tribulation about which Christ Jesus spoke before He ascended into My heaven when He said that in the world you would have tribulation but that you should rejoice because He overcame them in every way and so you can also overcome the tribulations with the power of My Holy Spirit, My joy and My peace.

BLESSINGS FROM SUFFERING QUIETLY

My Dear Precious Child, One of the advantages of doing right is a guarantee that nothing can harm you. Peter wrote that even if you need to suffer for the sake of righteousness, you'll be happy. In his first letter Peter told the Gentile and Jewish believers that they should not fear anything and that they should not be in awe of what other people fear. Instead, they should consider Christ Jesus first in their heart; and should anybody ask them the reason for their hope, they must be ready constantly to reply, making sure that their reply is given gently and respectfully. He wrote that the believers must keep a clear conscience so that when they are ridiculed that the people who libel their way of life in Christ may be ashamed of themselves. He wrote that if it's My will that they suffer, then it's better to do so for doing good deeds rather than for doing evil ones. (I Peter 3:13-17) In the first letter of Peter to believers, he wrote that the reason that Christ Jesus died for the sins of the world, His being a just Man dying for the unjust, was that he might lead people to Me. Even though He was put to death as far as earthly existence goes, He was given life in the realm of the Spirit. It was in the Spirit that He went to preach to the spirits in the prison of hell. They had disobeyed as long ago as Noah's generation, while I waited patiently for the Ark to be built. At that time, eight people escaped in the ark through the waters. Peter wrote that people are now saved by a baptismal bath which corresponds to the ark and the waters. This baptism is no removal of physical stain but it's My pledge of an irreproachable conscience through the resurrection of Christ Jesus. He came into My heaven and sits at My right hand with angelic rulers and powers subject to Him. (I Peter 3:18-22) Christ suffered in the flesh; therefore you must arm yourself with the knowledge that you have the same calling. He, speaking of Christ and the believers in His ministry, have suffered in the flesh, have broken with sin, no longer being loyal to it. Peter wrote that believers must no longer spend what remains of their earthly life on human passions and desires but only on doing My will. In the past you already spent enough time doing what the pagans enjoy, living lives of debauchery, evil desires, drunkenness, orgies, carousing and wanton idolatry. It's no wonder that the blasphemers are surprised that you, after becoming a new person, that you do not plunge into the same swamp of demonic activity where they live. They will eventually find themselves giving an account for all of those transgressions. After all, the reason that the Gospel of Jesus Christ was preached, even to the dead, was because even though they were condemned in the flesh in the eyes of humans, they might have the privilege of living their life in the Spirit and in My eyes. (I Peter 4:1-6) Peter encouraged the believers with the truth that the consummation of their hope was close at hand; therefore, they should not be worried but instead remain calm so that they would be able to pray. Peter knew by experience that praying in the Holy Spirit was the way to avoid being tempted by the devil. While accompanying Jesus in his wrestling with the decision of whether or not to yield to My will, Peter, James and John kept going to sleep instead of praying with Jesus. Jesus told them that they should at least be able to stay awake for an hour and pray so that they would not be tempted by the devil. The three disciples of Jesus went back to sleep three times instead of staying awake to pray in support of their Lord. Consequently, Peter denied knowing My Son three times as a result of his being tempted by the devil. (I Peter 4:7) Another valuable lesson that Peter wrote in his first letter to the believers was to let their love be constant for one another because love covers a multitude of sins. My Love will refuse to hold the sins of everyone against them but instead Love will forgive them. Jesus had given the disciples the power of My Holy Spirit to forgive sins when he appeared to them before He ascended into My heaven to sit down with Me. You have the power to forgive sins, to obliterate them as far as the east is from the west when you have the revealed truth that all sins are the result of the works of demons in the lives of people. When you forgive a person, you free that person from the demons' clutches. That is the ultimate gift of love. (I Peter 4:7-8) Peter walked, talked, lived and ministered with Christ Jesus. He knew Him and loved Him unequivocally. His insights became more in line with Paul's revelations the more Peter matured in the life of the Holy Spirit. His admonitions need to be followed in order for you to lead a rewarding Spirit filled life. Your Father Who Honors His Children With Wise Guidance (Psalm 1:1)

BLESSED BY BEING A CITIZEN OF HEAVEN

My Dear Precious Child, Peter declared in his first letter to the Jewish and Gentile converts to Christ Jesus that you and other believers are members of My kingdom of God, a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people claimed by Me for My own to proclaim the glorious works of Mine who called you from darkness into My marvelous light. To the Gentiles I said that you were once a person with no people but now you are My people and once you had no mercy and now you have found mercy. (I Peter 2:9-10) In fact, he wrote, you are strangers in another country, in exile from My country of God while you live in the earth. Therefore, I urge you not to engage in carnal desires that plague your true nationality and by nature whose very nature wages war on your own soul. He wrote that although the unbelievers would label you as a troublemaker, you must keep yourself blameless among those unbelievers. Then, by observing your good works they, themselves, might give glory to Me when I make Myself real to them. (verse 12) Because of the ministry of Christ Jesus through you, you must obey every human institution, whether it is the emperor as being an earthly sovereign or governors who have been commissioned for the punishment of criminals and recognizers of the upright. Your obedience to them is My will so that you will not be arrested and defame My name. Your good behavior will silence the accusations of foolish men. You must live as free men but you must not let your freedom be an occasion for sins. In other words, live as children of Mine. You must respect every person, fostering love for your spiritual family, reverence for Me and respect for the position of the emperor. Peter in his first letter to the churches wrote that My children who are household employees must obey their employers over other ones, not only the good ones but also the harsh ones. It is a work of grace when a person can suffer injustice and endure hardship through his or her awareness of My presence in your life. If you were to do evil and get disciplined for it, what credit would you get fo that? But when you put up with suffering for doing right, that is acceptable in My eyes. It was for that reason that Christ, Himself, suffered for you as an example so that you might follow in His footsteps. He did no wrong; no deceit was found in Him. When Christ was insulted, He insulted no person. When He was made to suffer, he did not return threats. Instead, He gave himself up for Me, the One who judges justly. It was in His own body that He bore your sins on the cross so that all of you, being dead to sin, could live in guidance of My will. By His stripes you were healed. At one time you strayed like lost sheep but now you have returned to the Shepherd who is the guardian of your soul. Peter in his first letter to the churches mirrored Paul in his teachings on family life, writing that women must submit to their husbands so that their husbands will be won over to Me not by preaching but by the behavior of their wives. The husbands only need to observe the purity of their wife's way of life. He wrote that ostentatious outer garnishments are not for wives of My children. Instead, it is the adornment of their hidden character expressed in the beauty of a calm and gentle disposition. That is precious in My eyes. Peter wrote that the women of old used to adorn themselves like that, being reliant only on Me, equal to but submissive to their husbands. Peter went to the extreme, writing that women should be like Sarah who called Abraham her master. He also wrote that husbands must respect their wives, showing consideration for them because they share lives. He wrote that men must treat their wives as the weaker sex; HOWEVER, they are equal heirs to My gracious Gift of Life. Then Peter gave the reason for his teaching on family life. He wrore that men must treat their wives with love and respect to keep the answer to their prayers from being hindered. (I Peter 3:1-7 Isaiah 59:1-4) In summarizing what seems like restrictive behavior, Peter clarified his guidance by saying that husbands and wives should be like-minded toward each other, sympathetic, loving towards one another, humble towards each other, and also kind and gracious toward each other. He wrote that they should never return evil for evil or insult for insult; instead to always return a blessing. He wrote that both husbands and wives are called to act like that towards each other since they are equals in My eyes so that they receive blessings as their inheritance. Peter quoted Matthew when he wrote, "A person who really cares for his or her life and wants to see prosperous days must keep his tongue from evil and his lips from uttering deceit. He or she must turn from evil and do good, seeking peace and following after it because I have eyes for the just and I hear their cries. But against evildoers I have had to set My face." (I Peter 3:10-12) Isaiah knew that truth, that My arms are not so short that I cannot save you and neither are My ears so dull that I cannot hear you, but your sins and iniquities form a barrier between us so that I cannot hear your cries for help. When you walk in My straight path, you don't have to fight off demons at every turn or cry for My help because I am always with you. Your Father of Meaningful Instructions

BLESSINGS FROM KNOWING PETER'S REVELATIONS

My Dear Precious Child, In Peter's first letter to the Gentile believers in Asia Minor, he intended for the Jewish believers in Christ Jesus to read his letter also, as well as the Gentile former pagans. In Peter's salutations at the beginning of the letter he wrote that he was consecrated by the Holy Spirit to a life of obedience to Jesus Christ and the purification with His blood and he spoke that My favor and peace would be upon the believers in the many cities to whom the letter was addressed. In Peter's introduction of the letter he wrote a poem of praise relating to the new birth, which was mirrored in Paul's letters. (Ephesians 1:17-19. In the hymn of praise Peter wrote genuine praise to Me, the Holy Father, and to the Lord Jesus Christ who by His great mercy gave new life to believers. He identified the new birth as being 1. a new birth of hope which draws Life from the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead. He also described the new birth as being 2. a birth into an imperishable inheritance which is incapable of being corrupted because it's kept in My heaven for you and intended for those people who are guarded around them with My power through faith. 3. He also described the new birth as being a salvation which stands ready to be revealed in the day of My new covenant with people when it began on the dayof Pentecost where Peter was in attendance and then wrote about it. (I Peter 1:1-5) Peter had previously experienced the new birth after Christ rose from the dead and appeared before the disciples when he and the other disciples were hiding in a room of a house. The Risen Christ, having been raised from the dead, appeared to them and breathed My New Life into them, causing them to experience the new birth when He breathed on them and told them to receive the Holy Spirit and whose sins they forgave would be forgiven and whose sins they retained would be retained. (John 20:19-23; I Peter 1:1-2) In Peter's first letter to the Gentile and Jewish believers he told them to rejoice in the new birth but he also warned them that for a time they might need to suffer many trials, but he told them that the trials would benefit them if they allowed the trials to add to their faith which he described as being more precious than the splendor of fire-tried gold and its genuineness that leads to praise, glory and honor when Christ Jesus appears to them in revelation. He wrote to the believers that, even though they had never seen Christ in the flesh or in His resurrected body like the disciples had seen Him, without seeing Him they still believed in Him and they rejoiced with inexpressible joy which had been touched with My glory because they were achieving the goal of having faith, a faith which was their salvation; and to you it is your salvation. He wrote that My salvation is the salvation which the prophets had carefully searched out and examined in writings about it through the prophesies. Those prophets spoke about My Divine favor that was prophesied that would belong to My children. The prophets investigated in the scriptures spoken by the prophets the times and circumstances which My Spirit of Christ was pointing toward because Christ had predicted the sufferings of Christ and the glories of Christ which were to follow His sufferings. The prophets of old knew what they were providing for you when they prophesied My expectations for the future, not for themselves, but instead for a future generation, the one which had been proclaimed to them by the people who preached the Gospel to that generation by the power of My Holy Spirit who was sent from My heaven. Peter wrote that that wonderful mystery was a mystery that angels longed to research but could not because it was hidden in My mind for generations. (I Peter 1:6-12) In the first letter from Peter to Gentile and Jewish believers he told the people to, first of all, gird up the loins of their understanding; second of all, to live sensibly; and third, to set their hope on the gift of revelation knowledge which was to be conferred upon them when Christ appeared to them, whether in the death of their body or in a revealed appearance. And, fourth, Peter admonished the believers that they, as obedient children, should no longer yield to the fleshly passions and desires that once shaped their ignorant character. Instead, Peter appealed to the believers to become holy in the spirit inside of themselves in every way, attaining to the likeness of Christ Jesus who called them; remembering that scripture reported that "I say for you to be holy because I am holy." (Leviticus 19:2; I Peter 1:13-16) Peter had walked and talked with Christ Jesus, had left his family and lands to follow Him in His earthly ministry, had heard Jesus in His teaching about My kingdom which was to come into the earth, plus Peter had observed Jesus heal the sick and teach about My kingdom which was soon to come into the world, as well as Peter observed Jesus on the cross. Peter had even denied knowing Christ Jesus after the crucifixion, yet he was obedient to go to the upper room and wait for My promise of being baptized in the Holy Spirit to occur. It was Peter who preached a sermon relating to what had happened on the day of Pentecost to a crowd of people and over 3,000 people were converted to the gospel of Christ Jesus. people from all over the world. Peter was a participant in My Kingdom of God first coming into the earth on the day of Pentecost in the upper room. Peter was the first disciple to yield to My power of the Holy Spirit. And I began to allow My Holy Spirit to use Peter's body to continue the ministry of Christ in the world. Peter knew the Christ of whom he wrote in his letter. He was one of the last ones left when many of the other disciples fled in fear before the resurrection. When Jesus Christ asked Peter if the disciples were going to abandon Him, too, Peter wisely professed this: "Lord, where else would we go? You have the words of eternal life." (John 6:66-69) When Peter wrote the first letter, he had a long, enduring, grateful, loyal relationship with Christ Jesus, both in ministry and in Peter graciously yielding to the ministry of the Holy Spirit through him. My children must mirror the image of Christ with the dedication and loyalty of Peter. Your Father of Spiritual Empowerment

BLESSINGS FROM ONLY BEING RICH IN REVELATIONS

BLESSINGS FROM ONLY BEING RICH IN REVELATIOINS My Dear Precious Child, The apostle James was very staunch in his condemnation of the rich, probably referring mainly to the wealthy Pharisees who had harassed and plotted to kill Jesus and continued their harassment against the believers after Jesus was raised from the dead and joined Me in My heaven. Their harassment was unrelenting against the members of the first churches. James wrote for the rich to weep and wail because their miseries were eventually coming upon them. He wrote that their wealth was already rotten, that their precious metals were corrupt, and that their corruption would be a testimony against them. He wrote that their corruption would devour their flesh like a fire. He opined that their wealth had stored up evil for themselves during the days of My new covenant. (James 5:1-6) In naming the evils of the rich, James wrote that the wages that they had withheld from their workers were crying loudly from the fields and the cries of the people who harvested the grains had reached My ears. The rich lived in luxury in the earth and had fattened themselves for the slaughter is what James observed. They condemned and even murdered the just people who did not even resist the rich. He told the rich to just wait until their enemies exacted punishment upon the greedy. James wrote that just like the farmer waits for his precious yield of the soil, he looks forward to it while the soil enjoys the winter and spring rains. He told the believers that they must be patient, too, and steady their hearts because My justice would be coming soon upon the rich because of the seeds of injustice that they had sown. (James 5:7-8) In order not to be recipients of the harvest of My justice upon the rich, James admonished the believers not to grumble against each other or they would be condemned also, along with the rich. He advised the believers that they had good examples of living through hardships with patience, always looking toward the prophets of old who endured harassment from people and they became blessed by Me. He reminded them of the loyalty of Job who refused to curse Me and blame his tragedies on Me. My compassion and mercy was demonstrated in Job's life. (James 5: 9-11) James wrote very seriously not to swear an oath at all, not by heaven or earth or anything else. He advised them that their answers must always be "yes" if they mean "yes" and "no" if they mean "no". In that way, he wrote, they would not invite condemnation into their lives on earth. (James 5:12) In further instructions, James wrote to the members of all churches that if anyone was suffering hardship that they should pray. If someone is in good spirits, they should sing a hymn of praise to Me. If someone was sick, they should call the elders of the church who will pray for them and anoint the sick with oil in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. James wrote that the anointed prayer will restore the sick to health and if he has committed a sin, then he or she will be forgiven. Hence, they must declare their sins to one another and pray for each other so that they would be healed. (James 5:13-16) James wrote that the righteous, fervent (meaning heat filled) prayers of an anointed person is powerful, indeed. He wrote that Elijah was only a man, yet he prayed earnestly that it would not rain and no rain fell on the land for 3 years and 6 months. When Elijah prayed again, the skies burst open with rain and the land produced a crop. (James 5:17-18) In his closing words, James wrote that it might become knowledge to the believers that a person had strayed from the Truth and so another person must bring him back. He wrote that people must never forget this: a person who brings a sinner back from his evil ways will save his soul from death and cancel a multitude of sins. (James 5:19-20) That revelation was new to some people, that a person can be forgiven so easily. That revelation expands My justice and forgiveness in the minds of people, which also expands the revelation of My love. The truths in James' letter amplifies My truths in their simplicity by James' refusing to embellish the truths with unnecessary words. Truths cannot be explained with human words. They come by revelation of My Holy Spirit. Your Father of ENLIGHTENMENT

BLESSINGS FROM KEEPING PEACE

My Dear Precious Child, In a clear explanation of where conflicts and disputes originate, James cleared up the confusion by writing in his letter to the churches that they originate inside your own mind and body, revealing that they are demonic passions and desires. He wrote that those passions make war with your own faculties in an effort to dominate you and become lord over you. What you desire, you do not obtain, so you choose to get it by killing someone. Or, maybe you envy what someone has and you can't get it, so you fight tooth and toenail to get it to better yourself above the other person in your own eyes. (James 4:1-3) Then James wrote that the reason that you do not have what you desire is because you don't ask Me to supply it for you; or, if you ask, you ask wrongly, intending to spend what you get on your own pleasures with no thought of sharing. Often you might even proudly display what I give you as an indication of My favor toward you, creating jealousy in other people. He sternly reminded the people who read his letter that to be a friend of the world is to be at odds with Me. He emphasized that a person is identified as My enemy if he is a friend of the world. There is scripture that says that the Holy Spirit that I have planted inside of you tends to occasionally cause other people to err toward jealousy. Yet other scripture says that I resist the proud but bestow My favor on the lowly. (James 4:5-6; Proverbs 3:34) In order for you to stay pure, James said for My children to strip away from their lives all excess and to humbly welcome My words which have taken root in you with the power to save you from evil. He reminded the people who read his letter to always act on My words. He warned them not to be like some other people who only listen to the words, choosing not to practice them, and in the end they deceive themselves. He compares that person to someone who looks in a mirror at his own face, then he immediately goes off and forgets what he looks like. On the other hand, there is the person who looks into the My ideal words of freedom and lives in their wisdom and instructions. That person is no forgetful listener but he or she is one who carries out My words in practice in his own body. That second man is blessed in everything that he does. James next words of wisdom advised you that if you submit yourself to Me and resist the devil that the devil will fly away from you. In other words, when you are tempted to speak evil of someone, or or Me, if you resist that temptation and refuse to yield to it, then the demon will go on to someone else to tempt. Also, the demons hate to hear you worshiping Me with a pure heart. They flee from your dedicated words of worship for Me. Always remember that when you draw close to Me that I am already waiting for you to join Me because I have already drawn near to you. James advised you to first of all clean your hands, sinners, and cleanse your heart, you backsliders. He advised the sinners to lament, mourn and to weep, letting your frivolous laughter be turned into mourning and your worldly joy be turned into sorrow. The result of your getting rid of all fake worshipful dedication to Me and to be humbled by Me allows Me to exalt you on high. When I lift you up, you are truly lifted high above the earth. (James 4: 7-10) Going back to the dangers of the tongue in its spewing forth poison, James wrote to the readers of his letter, wherever you are, he wrote that a person who does not control his or her tongue often claims to be a devout believer in Christ Jesus. All the while, he is self-deceived and his worship of Me is pointless because he will obtain nothing. He or she is serving the devil and his demons by spewing poison into the world instead of truly worshiping Me. In his letter he sternly admonished the readers of his letter to refuse to speak illl of each other. He wrote that anyone who speaks badly about his brother in Christ is speaking ill of My words. The same applies to judging your spiritual brothers or sisters. If you judge someone, you are judging My words, making yourself the judge. If you judge My words, then you are no practitioner of My words but a judge of them. There is only One judge of the law who can save you, Christ Jesus. So who are you if you judge your neighbor? (James 4:11-12; Matthew 7:1-6) Come on now, you who say to come on with you today or tomorrow and you shall go out of town, spend a year trading and come home with a profit. You have no idea what you will encounter tomorrow. You are only a vapor that appears and then vanishes. If you say that you will do such and such, you make arrogant and pretentious claims by swearing to do something. All boasting and promising to do something makes you open for condemnation. When you know what to do and don't do it, then you sin. (James 4:13-17; Matthew 5:33-36) Your agreement to do something must depend upon My being willing that you engage in the adventure, hinging on, "The Lord willing, I will." James was firm in his beliefs of the negative or positive power of your tongue. Your own spiritual sister spoke My truth when she said that when you utter something negative about someone that the demons from hell turn the same judging words into condemnation on you, yourself. So you curse yourself when you utter something negative about someone else. She spoke My truth when she spoke those words. You must strive to gain control of your tongue. It starts with determining any demons who are concealed in your heart. Eventually their identify will be revealed by the words that come out of your mouth. Your Father of Truth About Words
