CROWN OF LIFE

Dear One,
You can give up anytime you want to give up. You have that right under free will to give up at any time.
The devil is eagerly waiting for you to give up so that he can completely defeat you. His goal is to pressure you and pressure you until you are so tired of fighting that you will give up praying and let him complete his final plans, which is to kill you. He knows your weak points and he has saved his best arsenal until he has caused you to be weak, defeated, discouraged and hopeless. Then he can bring on the big stuff like catastrophic disease, depression and death.
If you declare to never give up and that you will defeat him, then he will begin to lose his power over you because deception is his powerful weapon. As long as he can deceive you into believing there is no hope, no future and that things will never change, then he has you deceived and defeated. The minute you stand up and declare that you will never be defeated is when he takes a step back and begins to lose his power over you. Every time you declare your victory over him he loses more of his power over you. Every declaration you speak of your victory and your position as a winner, the farther you get from his plans for you of defeat and death.
You are the head, not the tail, and you deserve the crown of Life because you are My child!
Declare every hour of the day that you are My child and you will not be defeated.
Love, God
James 4:7; John 10:10

CHILDLIKENESS

Dear One,
When I said to come to me like a child, I meant to come to me with energy, delight and belief that is untainted by worldly experiences.
A child believes without seeing, he uses his imagination freely and he loves life completely.
A child also has no inhibitions and is undaunted in asking how, why, where and every other question that pops in his mind.
A child has no preconceived ideas about things but comes with a pure, clean mind ready to learn and ready to follow.
A child knows truth because he has innate system of judging honesty and purity.
A child will approach Me without reservations and will put his hand in mine to be led, to be comforted and to be taught.
A child has not been taught to fear so he enters My presence with love and trust.
Come to me like a child and your progression in learning will be speedy, your joy will be spontaneous and your love will be perfected.

Love, God
