TRUTH IS POWER

Dear One,

You have experienced the truth that knowledge is power.
When another person has more knowledge about a matter than you, that person has more power than you because of that knowledge. Very often, that person will "lord" it over you because of that knowledge, not in a malicious attitude but in the practice of being free.
Knowledge gives control in a matter because of the insight that one has attained from the Spirit of Truth. That principle is the basis for My giving the gifts of wisdom and knowledge to My children, so that they will have My special insight into their lives, their occupations, their children, their illnesses, in all their situations that arise in life.
In the event that My children do turn to Me and tap into My gifts of wisdom and knowledge, then no one, neither anyone human or demonic, can become lord over you by your ignorance in the matter.
There are times that you can gain earthly wisdom and knowledge about something, and that will put you back in control of an area of your life in which you were powerless before.
Wisdom and knowledge are crucial to maintaining control of your own life and your own affairs. I have all the special insights that are necessary and I will either tell you directly or lead and direct you to the proper source for you to attain wisdom and knowledge.
Supernatural power is available to you so that no one, no human or demon , will be able to dominate your life.
I desire that you become free in every area of your life. Seek truth, wisdom and insight from Me and you will be free.
Love, God
John 8:32; John 14:16-18; John 15:26-27; John 16:13-15

THE FREEDOM FIGHTER

Dear One,

When you spiritually see things clearly, then revelation has come to your mind. Revelation will always free you from some sort of bondage, either religious bondage, spiritual bondage, emotional bondage or physical bondage.
Can you see why the devil fights the Holy Spirit so much? The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of Truth, like Jesus said, and His mission in your life is to free you from bondage by revealing truth to you. The devil doesn't want you free from bondage because that is his hold on you. However, Jesus said that the Holy Spirit will reveal ALL truth to you, and He is eager to do it.
Jesus began the freedom process and now the Holy Spirit continues the freedom process. That is what Jesus meant when he said that greater things would be done after He went to the Father. The greater things are the work of the Holy Spirit in the lives of all men in the earth who will invite Him into their lives.
Revelation is the greatest Freedom Fighter in the arsenal of the Holy Spirit because Truth always sets you free.
Seek Truth and you will get revelation knowledge. Then you will be free in areas that you never knew you were bound. Sometimes religious bondage is more devastating than emotional or physical bondage.
I will reveal Myself and My truth to everyone who seeks Me.
Seek to intimately know Me and you will be free.

Love, God

FRUIT TREES

Dear One,

The fruit of My Spirit, which are My characteristics of My Personality, when they are displayed from you to others and shared with others, then people will eat of them and they will have communion with Me as a result, just like at the last supper when Jesus shared My words with the disciples and they communed with Me. He said that the Words of the Holy Spirit come from Me. When people consume love, peace, joy, mercy, patience, faith, goodness and kindness from you, they consume Me because those attributes all come from My Spirit who is inside of you.
Serve My fruit to all men and they will partake of Me and they will desire more of My characteristics. You know the hunger is great in others, and the supply of My fruit is always available if you will allow it to be.
You will be temped to share the fruit of the flesh, which is where the devil influences you, and that fruit is disgust, judgment, dissension, strife, arguments, distress, depression, anger and other things that destroy people. But you must always choose to share My fruit with others because the nutrients in My fruit will satisfy others and you will be satisfied, too.
The nutrients in earthly fruit are necessary for health of individuals. The nutrients in My Spirit are necessary for physical life, emotional life and spiritual life.
Shared fruit will not become rotten. Stored fruit may become rotten.
Shared fruit will give life to the ones who consume it, including the one who is sharing.
Love, God

SHARING FRUIT

Dear One,
You can find peace in the midst of turmoil.
You can find joy in the midst of sorrow.
You can find love in the midst of hatred.
You can find faith in the midst of unbelief.
You fan find patience in the midst of unsettling behavior from others. You can find patience in the midst of delays while waiting for answers to prayers.
You can show kindness when others are being unkind to you.
You can show goodness in the midst of evil.
You can show mercy when others are caught up in sin, disobedience and opposition.
All of those characteristics, mercy, peace, joy, love, faith, goodness, kindness and patience are inside of you where I live. I am all of those inside of you in your spirit and I can be called upon to minister love, joy, peace, mercy, faith, patience, goodness, kindness when they are needed. That is what the Apostle Paul meant when he said that when he was weak, he was made strong. He knew that My Spirit within him could supply everything that he lacked when they were needed under trying circumstances. The secret is to let those fruit of the Spirit flow from you at all times because they are characteristics of your true personality, the characteristics of your spirit when My Spirit is in ascendancy in you. They are called fruit because they are the product of our union, the union of My Spirit and your spirit. When I was called upon to plant My Seed of My Spirit within your ground, which is your spirit, then our union produced a new product which was a regenerated spirit and that product produces My fruit. All of that fruit is available to be shared with other people in the world.
People are starving for nutrients that are contained in the fruit of My Spirit. Share all of it and you will see yourself and others transformed.
Love, God

REFRAIN FROM JUDGING

Dear One,

To say someone is wrong is a judgment call on your behalf.
To say someone could be mistaken, it seems to you, is the proper way to think about it. But, you should always give the person the grace and the right to believe what he or she chooses to believe.
People choose to believe what they have been taught to believe and they believe the things to which they are exposed during their lives. So belief is experiential.
If belief is a result of experience, then how can you say that someone is right or wrong if their experiences are limited only to information to which he or she has been exposed?
Make no judgment calls in relation to right or wring. That is none of your business. I said if you judge, then you will be judged.
You can make it your business only if you discuss with someone your beliefs that are also a result of your experience and the beneficial results of love, peace, joy, goodness, kindness patience and faith that have come from your beliefs. Then the person can make an informed choice based on broadened exposure to truth.
Remember that you made judgments in the past that have now dramatically changed. You believe things now, because of revelation knowledge, that you didn't believe in the past. Allow everyone to also change beliefs with his or her exposure to truth. If there is no exposure to truth, then there is no desire to change.
Your testimonies relating to My truths will set men free when you throw out the lifeline of what truths set you free.
People are looking for lifelines, not judgment.
Love, God
Matthew 7:1; Matthew 6:37; John 5:24; John 12:47

INFUSION WORDS

Dear One,
Always listen to words of peace and words of love. They are sent to restore and resurrect you.
Always refuse to listen to words which bring fear and always refuse to listen to words which instill hatred in its listeners. They are always sent to depress and defeat you.
You know the fluctuations in your emotional well-being when you hear negative words that infuse fear and distress into your mind. You know the fluctuations in your emotional well-being when you hear negative words that infuse hatred and disgust and prejudice into your mind. You become defensive and confrontational in your thoughts, attitudes and actions. Then you sow seeds which will return to you as judgment from other people.
Can you really claim to walk in the Spirit of Love when you choose to listen to words of fear, conflict, hatred, judgment or disgust? It is impossible to walk in the Spirit of Love when you have listened to words that are in contrast to Me and My nature.
Choosing to hear negative words is choosing curses because negative words originate in hell where curses originate.
Choosing to hear positive, loving words is choosing blessings because positive words originate in heaven with Me from where all blessings flow.
Again I tell you to guard your heart, for out of it flows the issues of life.
Love, God

NEGATIVE MENTALITY

Dear One,
So many destructive influences come into your mind from hearing offensive things, upsetting things, cruel things and depressing things.
Also, many destructive things come into your mind from what you see. You must protect your mind by choosing what you see and read. Don't view perverted things in any way, sexually perverted or emotionally perverted. Your eyes are the windows to the soul, so protect your mind by carefully choosing what you view.
Your thought life is dictated by what you hear and see.
In like mind, be cautious what you say. If you hear yourself voice words of fear or depression or doubt or unbelief, then it increases the power of that emotion in your own mind. You can eventually become a slave of that emotion if you meditate on it long enough.
That is what I meant when I said to protect your heart because out of it come the issues of life.
So pay heed to these instructions and be careful what you see and hear. That is being a good steward, protecting your mind from invading thoughts which will negatively influence your mind, your attitudes and your actions.
Your spiritual health is also influenced by what you hear and see. You can be knocked off of the Solid Rock by allowing negative influences to invade your mind.
Good stewardship begins with protecting your mind. You will be glad you did when you overcome every negative influence by stopping it at the door to your mind. Then you will not be robbed of your peace, joy, love and faith.
Love, God
Philippians 4:8; Proverbs 4:23; Proverbs 23:7
