WONDERFUL CHOICES

Dear One,
     Looking forward is always the best advice you can be given. 
     The only time that looking backward is good for you is when you have learned valuable life lessons from the past mistakes or bad experiences.  Then, only look at the lessons you learned, not at the mistakes or bad experiences.
     Good experiences can be viewed as exhilarating experiences unless they cause you to become melancholy or cause you to live in the past.
     Looking forward with faith to what lies ahead is saying that you trust Me to bring good events and good experiences into your life because you are My child.
    You have heard it said to bury the past.  That means that the past is dead, the events are over and people and situations have changed.  So when you bury the past you open up the future for new and exciting things to happen for you.  When you breathe life into the bad experiences of the past by constantly reliving them in your mind, you cause your future to already be cursed in some way.
     When you truly have buried the past, your thoughts, attitudes and words spoken will change to ones of expectancy, having faith in Me to manifest My love for you in marvelous ways.  It's simply like changing the channels on your TV or changing stations on your radio or changing apps on your IPhone.  You change from the curses channel to the blessings channel by thinking on things that are good, true and of a good report. 
    You are in control of your own mind.  You permit what images will play on the screen of your mind, either good images or bad images.  I said many times to choose good and you will receive My blessings and the abundant life.
     Love, God

SPIRITUAL EDUCATIONS

Dear One,

     There are technicians who have expertise in repairing every kind of machine and equipment.  You are grateful for them and grateful to them for their knowledge, which you obviously don't have or you would fix things yourself.  They are well acquainted with the different elements of  equipment because of education, either formal or experiential. They also know the composition of the equipment and how every piece works, either independently or in conjunction with the other parts.  Some of the technicians have a natural affinity toward understanding the mechanisms but they still need to be educated or self taught with instruction books in order to be able to fix your equipment.
    It's the same things spiritually, some people have sought to be educated in the operations of the different aspects of My power available in My Holy Spirit and educated in the ministry of Jesus.  Those people have learned about My dealings with a certain nation with whom I made a specific covenant.  Also, some peoplee, because of genetics or mere desperation to know Me, do have a natural affinity toward knowing the dynamics of the war between good and evil.  They understand all of the effective weapons that My children can use to defeat evil in their lives and the lives of other people.   The spiritually educated people recognize the faces of evil and are not deceived.
     You must seek to know me intimately.  Then you must seek to know the inner workings of My spiritual dimension and its influences upon your entire existence.  That is called seeking My kingdom first, above everything else.  That is the secret to your success in every area.
     I am the spiritual expert and I have the expertise to teach you how to fix anything in your life that is broken.  Other people have sought My expertise.  Learn from them and their experiences, also.
     Love, God

BATTLE PLANS

Dear One,
     Strategy is the most important element in any war, in any battle, in any endeavor, in any business, in any sport, in any game or in any relationship.  Winning always depends upon strategy.
     Strategy is merely a game plan or an educated process toward attaining a goal.
     Think about strategy in relation to strengths and weaknesses.
     Think about strategy in relation to mental and spiritual power.
     Think about strategy in relation to your own game plans.
     Think about strategy in relation to wisdom and knowledge about your own spiritual weapons.
     Think about strategy by thinking about your knowledge of the battle that ensued between good and evil when Jesus rose from the dead and defeated your spiritual enemies in the spiritual dimension.  Think about the truth that when you simply mention his name that the demons cow in defeat.
     Strategy is knowing your righteousness, knowing your power and knowing your resources, all of which are provided by Me.  Strategy is knowing that you have a myriad of angelic forces behind you and ahead of you and surrounding you.
     Strategy is having a winning attitude, knowing that because you are My child that you will emerge a winner over evil and its plan for your defeat.
     Strategy is knowing the truth about overcoming evil with good and that it is strategy that always produces good results.
     Strategy is becoming what I ordained of you, that you become an overcomer
and victor in every battle because you are My child.
     My strategy was to send Jesus as payment for the sins of everyone in the world.  After His ministry in the earth was completed, My strategy was to send My Holy Spirit with My power into the world to live inside of My children.  My strategy was and is that My children use My power to defeat evil in their lives and the lives of others.
    My strategy always works.  Come to Me and learn the individual tenets of strategy that are necessary to defeat evil and restore love and peace into your life. Each battle has the same weapons but every battle has different strategies.  That's why you must clear your mind of earthly confusion and learn to hear from Me.  There is a battle plan available and it's called My wisdom.
     Love, God

IT'S CALLED GRACE

Dear One,
     Accepting everyone you know and accepting everyone you meet just the way they are is a step in the direction of operating in My grace.
     You have unmerited favor with Me and I look beyond any and all imperfections in habits, features, speech affectations, unpleasant actions, sins, transgressions or iniquities. You are cleansed already by the heavenly washing cycle of the sacrifice of Jesus.
    Grace sees every person as perfect in My eyes, therefore perfect in your eyes if you are operating in My grace.
    Grace does not allow any judgmental thoughts and grace does not display judgmental actions.
     When your thoughts begin to turn into the vein of judgment and you entertain those thoughts for hours and hours, you have left My gift of grace for yourself and others.
      When you find that your thoughts have turned judgmental, you must rapidly gird up the loins of your mind and change to grace thoughts, seeing the good in people, seeing the needs of the less fortunate rather than seeing the unpleasantness.  Bring the person or persons into your love and cleanse them and heal them of all perceived imperfections.  Then, whomever sins you forgive are forgiven.  You can either do the act of grace or you can retain their imperfections by judging them, thus signing yourself up for judgment by others.
     All people you encounter are deserving of My grace and your grace just like you are deserving of My grace, simply because Jesus died for all the shortcomings of men.   All have fallen short of the high marks.
     Let love and grace flow from your mind, cleansing your thoughts on the way toward extending love to others.  Then you are operating as My child, deserving of My forgiveness and operating in my forgiveness and grace.
     Love, God

PROPHESY PROTECTS

Dear One,
     You prepare your children when it looks like situations are going to arise that might be upsetting.
     Does it seems unusual that I do the same thing with My Children? 
     I warn you, I train you in spiritual warfare, I prepare you so that nothing will overwhelm you. 
     My warnings are called prophesy and they are showing you things to come, just like what I said about the Holy Spirit is one of His functions.
     I know the devastating activities that the evil has planned for you.   I will warn you, cue you, alert you and impress you to the coming dangers.  Then it is up to you to use My spiritual powers and My wisdom to defeat the evil plans. 
     Staying in communication with Me is the secret.  Then you will be able to discern evil intentions because I have alerted you.  I will even tell you the strategy with which evil can be defeated.  The intricate strategies are pertinent to each attack.
     I am your Father.  Of course I do that for you. That's part of My protection.
    Love, God

BEING HEADSTRONG

Dear One,
     A person can be headstrong in a positive way and a person can be headstrong in a negative way.
     A person who is headstrong in a negative way will be stubborn, rebellious, rigid,  unteachable and unreasonable, which results in being a loser in life with no sense of living peacefully in a community with others.
     A person who is headstrong in a positive way will be determined, goal oriented, diligent, flexible, teachable and reasonable, which will result in being a winner in life. with skills which will enable the person living peacefully with others.
     My first disciples had to be determined, diligent, goal oriented, teachable, willing to listen to the teachings of Jesus, diligent in obeying what He asked of them and they were determined to withstand the persecutions that were heaped upon them.
     The secret to being headstrong in a positive way is to stay humble and teachable, yet determined to seek My wisdom and knowledge above everything else. 
     Being headstrong in a negative way is to be prideful, unteachable and inflexible.
     The humble inherit My blessings but pride goes before a fall.  Being headstrong with pride takes you on a downward spiral to the bottom.  Being humble and teachable takes you on an upward path to the top where success in every area of life is enjoyed.
     Paul said he strived to attain the high calling of Christ, putting His eyes on Jesus, the author and finisher of his faith.
     Being headstrong negatively is from hell. 
     Being headstrong positively is part of My kingdom coming to earth in your life.
                                             Love, God

SPIRITUAL 9-11

Dear One,
     Be patient with people who show no interest or need in having a relationship with Me and reaping the benefits of being My child. 
     There are instances where people are able  in some way or manner to defeat the works of the devil in their lives by sheer determination accompanied by educated knowledge and insight.  The time will come when they will be able to find neither the strength nor the ability to turn the tides of evil and be their own hero in the situation.  At that time in life there will be a need for some added spiritual strength and power, so My help will be needed.
     In the past, if that person has heard what I have done to save another person from defeat, then calling out for Me for assistance will be automatic.  I will be there immediately to give My supernatural help in the time of need.  My grace will be sufficient, just like it was for you and still is sufficient and available to you.
     Your timetable for My salvation is not always the timetable for another person.  That is why patience without condemnation is necessary in every instance.  If you condemn and pridefully look upon others who seem to have no need for Me, then you have tainted their image of Me because of the attitudes and actions of My children.  So in a time of need they might be reluctant to appeal to Me for My help, thinking that their relationship with Me might produce pride and condemnation toward other people in their lives. 
      Treat every person like he or she is already My child, with love, patience, mercy, goodness, kindness and forgiveness.  Then when there is a need, they will want to join Our family and reap the benefits.
      I told you that faith speaks the things that are not as though they were.  Inclusion and reconciliation are the fulfillment of that spiritual principle.  There are no human enemies of My children.  There are only spiritual, demonic enemies who are your enemies.  They influence humans to do evil things.   So treat all humans as if they were already your brothers and sisters and you will not be a stumbling block when the need arises in them for a savior.  They will want to know Me because you have represented Me in My true nature.
     Love, God
I John 3:8-11; Matthew 5:43-48; Romans 4:17; John 13:34-35;Ephesians 2:7-11; II John 1:4-6.
