A NEW DAY

Dear One,
Every day is a new day.
Every day is a new beginning of a new life.
Every day creates new adventures.
Every day starts new friendships.
Every day begins anew your present and your future.
Look to every day and its new beginnings.
There is new excitement every day unless you choose to live in the past with its failures, its family curses, its sadness, its abuse, its negativity, its broken relationships and its uncertainties.
When you choose, as an act of your will, to leave the past behind and begin every day anew with the new life that I create for you, then your destiny shifts from bad to good and from curses to blessings. But if you choose to live in the past, then you retain the emotional hurts from the past and they will continue to negatively influence your future.
It has been written, "Look to this day for it is life, the very breath of life." That is true when you leave the dead past behind you and get excited about your bright and exciting future.
Remember that I walk with you and ahead of you into your future and I redeem the past that is behind you, all to ensure you a bright and happy life.
My life for you is full of new beginnings.
Love, God

SELF PROTECTION

Dear One,
Giving yourself completely to another person is dangerous.
Giving of yourself to another person is a process, a little at a time, until you know that the person can be trusted. Even then, you must protect yourself, as I said, because the issues of life within you are precious and valuable enough to protect from emotional or physical injury.
People are just that, humans with positive and negative attributes. When you give yourself completely to the positive attributes, you also give yourself to the negatives. You place tender parts of your psyche in the path of that person to be trampled upon if you indiscriminately give of yourself. If you do not use wisdom in this, you are not protecting y9yourself, you are not loving yourself.
So keep a watchful eye, protecting your heart as you would protect a valuable jewel, within a safe place inside of you. You would not flaunt a valuable jewel to be crushed by others or robbed by others or devalued in any way. Don't give your heart completely to another human until you are absolutely sure the person values you and your heart. Therefore, you must protect your heart, your tender soul, from injury or discrimination or ridicule.
This lesson is crucial to your spiritual development, because your spiritual life is affected by your psychological/emotional life. Wounded people withdraw completely from others while they heal. If you protect yourself by treasuring your heart, you will not have to withdraw into yourself, you will continue to pour forth My love and My mercy. Then you can love others as you love yourself.
Love, God

EVIL STEPFATHER

Dear One,
The devil is an evil stepfather in the lives of My children.
He abuses, cheats, tortures, robs, steals and kills My children.
A good father loves, leads, directs, guides, rescues and provides for his children.
The religious leaders during the time Jesus walked the earth were being led by, guided by and directed by the father of lies, the devil, or they would have recognized Jesus as My son. Their eyes were blinded to the virtues of Jesus and His Sonship. They also heaped guilt on people the same as the devil, who is called the accuser.
Jesus came to earth and died so that you might have a good life and have it abundantly. He showed you what I am, the Good and Perfect Father.
I am available to be your Guide, Comforter, Counselor, Salvation and Rescuer. Come to me and experience My Love, the Perfect Love that casts out fear.
Love, God

GOD'S DEVOTION

Dear One,
My children think that they are alone in their devotion that they have to their families. You are not alone in that devotion because I am even more devoted than you are. The success of your children is my utmost concern.
I see their failures and their needs and their concerns, and I want them to prosper and be in health just like I want the same for you.
Remember when you are battling in the Spirit for your family that I was in the battle against the spiritual enemies before you joined Me in the battle against those principalities and powers of the air. I want them to overcome the enemy like I want you to overcome the enemy. Their battles and your battles are also My battles. Also remember that I have already overcome them in other instances and I know the proper strategy so that you and your children will overcome the trials and tribulations.
We are one, so every battle that you have is also My battle.
Love, God

PASSI ON SPIRITUAL TRUTH

Dear One,
Many opportunities present themselves to help people and you must keep your spiritual eyes and ears open so that you will recognize them as sent by Me.
I use circumstances that the enemy has created as opportunities to speak to you and urge you to present the good news in those situations to all who are concerned. When a situation is bad, people are eager to hear about faith and hope and love and joy. They want to hear that there is a way out of that situation.
The natural urge is only to feel badly for that person, but that puts you into the emotional part of your mind rather than in the spiritual part. You must stay spiritually alert so that you will be able to speak what I tell you to speak. Along with compassion I desire that you throw a lifeline when help is needed.
If you know the truth, you should be eager to speak the truth. That's what someone did to you and look where you are now, in close communion with Me. Pass it on to those in need and you will fulfill the ministry of Christ.
Love, God
Matthew 5:16; Matthew 10:8; Galatians 6:1

RUNAWAY IMAGINATIONS

Dear One,
Have you noticed that when your imagination runs away WITH you that it always runs toward the negative?
Notice that I said "with" you. That means that the real you, the spiritual man, accompanies the mind on the path of the imagination., so the real person is led by an outside influence, an imagination spirit, which will put images in your mind of the worse case scenario. Never, in a crisis situation, will an imagination spirit lead you toward something positive.
Only with one of the gifts of the Holy Spirit will you be able to receive positive images, envisioning the best case scenario because My promises to you are always yes and amen. So when the spirit of imagination begins to run away with your mind, begin to seek Me and My information on the situation. I guarantee you I will give you positive images of My plans for the situation.
Come now and let us reason together.
Love, God
Romans 1:21-26; Romans 11:33-38;I Corinthians 12:7-11; James 1:5; Isaiah 1:18
