Dear One,
When asked by his disciples to teach them to pray, Jesus shocked everyone within listening range when He instructed his disciples how to pray by addressing Me as Father. That was blasphemy in the eyes of their religious leaders. Their habitual prayers addressed Me as the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, God of King David, or Jehovah or other royal terms. To address Me in a personal Father/child way was unfamiliar and improper to them. Yet Jesus taught My children to address Me as Father in Heaven. He angered the Pharisees and the Sadducees who were religious leaders and only knew Me as Holy God, one who was unapproachable, unavailable, a cruel king, a vengeful judge and one who readily exacts punishment upon people. They taught their followers the same lies about Me. They didn't know Me.
Yet Jesus, My Son whom I sent to earth, taught people in the earth to approach Me in prayer as their Father. (Matthew 6:9) Good fathers are always approachable, always available, always loving, always forgiving, always extending their blessings and inheritance upon their children. Jesus opened the spiritual eyes of My children when He identified Me to them as their Father. He even told them to include everyone in addressing Me in the familiar term when He instructed them to approach Me as Our Father, meaning the Father of everyone. He wanted everyone to know that I am a nourishing heavenly Father who provides for My children just like a loving father, not as a weak, cruel king, which was their experiences with their own kings.
When Jesus taught them to address Me as Our Father it was inflammatory to traditional religious leaders because it insinuated that I am a personal Father rather than a distant king. I am a powerful spiritual king of the heavens, but I am a loving Father to My human children whom I created in My image. Kings don't create people. Only a father can create people. Only a father has the sperm by which women are impregnated. My Holy Spirit overshadowed Mary and created Jesus. That is why He knew Me as His Father.
When Jesus was with Me in heaven before I sent him to earth, He knew Me as the loving King of the Universe also because of My power in the heavens. Yet to My earthly children He revealed Me as His Father and their Father. That is why His name for Me of Father angered the religious priests who were only allowed to approach Me in the Holy of Holies of their temples. Common people could not approach Me. They had to stay in the outer courts. It was blasphemy to the religious leaders that Jesus was teaching commoners to approach Me and address Me as their Father.
People who have good, kind, merciful and loving fathers have no problem in knowing Me as a loving, merciful, generous, forgiving Father. Think about your own grandchild when she asked you what I am like and you told her that I am the most loving, kind, generous, gracious, forgiving, merciful Father anyone could ever have. Because of the loving characteristics of her grandfather, the light dawned on her and she said so innocently, "Oh, just like PopPop." It was easy for her to relate to Me as a loving Father because she had experienced unconditional love from a person known as her "grand-father." How fortunate she is to know that image of My character through a human person. (I John 3:1-2)
So you can imagine the anger that rose up in the religious leaders when Jesus instructed My children to approach Me in such a familiar term, calling Me Father in Heaven. Their other religious traditions were in danger of being in error, also, if this first introduction to Me by Jesus to My other children was correct, that they identify Me and address Me as their Father. The foundations of religious leaders were shaken at that moment. That was only the beginning of the fall of their religious practices and beliefs.
You can know Me as your good and perfect Father, the Father of Love for all of my children and all of My creation. You experienced the same religious opposition when you were first baptized with my Holy Spirit. Because you referred to Me in personal terms you were chided by your religious priest for being too familiar with Me. He told you that My name was too holy to even be spoken. I said through your mouth to that leader, "And that is why Jesus had to come to earth, to reveal the true nature of Our Father." As you remember, you heard that truth for the first time as it came out of your mouth, just as the priest did, and you were astounded. That truth entered the man's mind and spirit and cut through any religious lies that had been taught to him, the lie that I am unapproachable. His reaction to My words spoken through your mouth were, "I guess you are right." (Romans 8:38-39)
So there are still religious leaders and people today who do not know Me as their loving Father. My children are blessed when they know Me as their Father of love.
Live your life as My loving child, and then My image to others will be as a loving Father because that is who I AM. (Romans 5:5-8)
Sincerely, Love (I John 4:7-8)

PRAYER TEACHING BY JESUS
Dear One,
We talked about My covenant with the nation of Israel and the fact that they were taught that My name was too holy to utter. Yet, when My new covenant was instituted by Jesus Christ with all people, Jesus taught to approach Me in prayer with the familiar personal address of Our Father. The idea that I was the Father of My children instead of a distant, uninvolved, impersonal, cruel king was easily rejected by the religious royalty of the day but it was received by the common people who had multiple needs that were expedient to be met. (Matthew 6:9)
I tried through the prophet Isaiah to reveal the truth of My personality, speaking about the oneness of My unity with My Son and My Spirit, that I am body, soul and Spirit just like they were. Isaiah prophesied that a Son would be born and be called Wonderful, Counselor, the Mighty God, the Everlasting Father, the Prince of Peace. Through prophesy I tried to reveal My Fatherhood to the people under the old covenant with a nation.
The revelation through the mouth of Jesus that I am the Father of all mankind was good news to the common people but bad news to the religious leaders who only had a distant revelation of My personality because the Holy Spirit had not been given to everyone, only to Jesus. The common people saw My loving character in My son Jesus. Only after Jesus went to hell and took back authority again over the earth from the devil in order to give it to people through My Spirit was the full revelation of My Fatherhood able to be understood by My children. When that revelation is fulled developed in My children, then I can become to them their true PaPa, their true Heavenly Daddy, their Personal Dad, their Life source who is constantly and always available to hear their requests and grant them. When their eyes are open, My children begin that one-on-one personal relationship with me and also refer to Me as PaPa, just like Jesus did on the cross. (John 17:21-23)
How more familiar and personal can a relationship be than when I live inside of you? As you would say, that is up close and personal. When you only know Me by the hearing of the ear from other people who also do not know Me, then you only know Me by the limited reputation that has been espoused by them. (Matthew 13:15) However, when you live and breathe and have your being through My gift of My Holy Spirit, you are linked to Me by My heavenly umbilical cord through which all of My blessings flow. (Matthew 13:16-17)
You are linked to My heavenly storehouse of answered prayers and blessings because we are One, just like Jesus prayed. You approach Me with familiarity and intimacy. You experience heaven on earth, for which Jesus also taught you to pray.
You are precious to Me and I address you as My Precious Child. The better you know Me, the more you will address Me by intimate terms, just like Jesus taught.
Your Loving Heavenly PaPa

HISTORY ALWAYS REPEATS
Dear One,
It is an established fact that history repeats itself. If My children learn lessons that were previously taught to them, they will avoid the mistakes again. My children can also learn from the mistakes made by others. That is why I included stories in My Instruction Book about people who repeatedly made mistakes and were redeemed, so that you will take heed and avoid the same mistakes that they made and the similar ones that you make.
I said through Paul by revelation of My Holy Spirit that scriptures are given by inspiration from Me and are profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction and for instruction in My righteousness. (II Timothy 3:16) They are My study material for My children which can only be interpreted by My Holy Spirit. He is the One who is the teacher, the private tutor for all of My children. He is the promise that I proclaimed through Joel when I said that My words would live inside of My children to lead and guide them. (Joel 2:28-29) Jesus confirmed that promise. (Acts 1:4-5)
When you find yourself embroiled in a difficult situation, you can review the Instruction Book on the experiences of the children of Israel in their journey to the promised land. They made every mistake known to man. They griped, groaned, moaned, blasphemed, accused Me, denied Me, and did every manner of disobedience. Yet, every time that they returned to Me for My guidance and insight, I gave it and restored My privileges to them. (Deuteronomy 28:1-14) I fed them, protected them, guided them, and still they returned to their angry accusations of Me. I never left them. They separated themselves from My blessings, but I never stopped in My loving them because I understood their proclivity to obey the evil temptations of the devil. That generation did not enter into My rest in the promised land because of their own choices, but their children did because I always keep My promises.(Hebrews 3:7) That example is the picture of what happens when My children rebel against Me and unite with the devil. The devil himself cursed them in every area of their lives.(Deuteronomy 28:15-19)
Allow history to repeat itself in your life by studying the life of Paul who spent years listening to My voice of revelation through My Holy Spirit. He did not go back to his previous life of persecuting My other children. Instead, he learned to listen to Me through My Spirit of truth and he prospered in everything that he did. He prayed in the words of My Holy Spirit at all times. He waited for My guidance before acting in any situation. He made Me his true Father, listening to Me and following My admonitions rather than following the doctrines of men made by My disciples who had returned to old religious laws. Paul knew the value of listening to My Holy Spirit and the benefits of taking My advice. Paul knew the fulness of My power and the fulness of My love for all of My creation. (Ephesians 1:17-28; Ephesians 3:14-20) He believed Jesus and His description of the Spirit of Truth. (John 16: 7-15) Paul relied completely upon My Spirit, just like Jesus did.
Learn valuable lessons from these people and their experiences. That is why I put them in My Instruction Book to you. Be like Paul who taught about My power but he did not lecture My children on the vastness of My power. He asked My Spirit to reveal My power to you because he knew that only through revelation does a truth become flesh in you. Paul wrote beautifully about My love for you. But still, he prayed that you would have a complete revelation of My love because he knew that the enemy of my children could rob them of that valuable revelation unless it was revealed by My Spirit whose words are mighty, cutting between the soul and the spirit of a person, discerning the thoughts and intents of My heart. Revelations from My Spirit take root in your mind and spirit, changing you into My image in the earth. (Hebrews 4:11-13)
History repeats itself every second of the day in your life. Make sure that the history that repeats itself in your life is one of revelations from My Holy Spirit who leads you into all truth. Blessings follow revelations.
Your Loving and Merciful Father

GOD ON DUTY
GOD ON DUTY
Dear One,
I am never "off the clock" as you call it. I am always on duty. It is said that Jesus ever lives to make intercession for you. That means that He has not rested from His labors just as I have not rested from My labors of creating and re-creating for My children. My Spirit makes intercessions for you constantly. (Romans 26-34; Hebrews 7:25) I only rested from the physical creation of the earth on the 7th day, but I have never rested from creating and re-creating situations that bless My children. I have never rested from saving My children. The children of Israel can attest to that fact since I saved them over and over and over again, even after countless rebellions by them. My children who have experienced answered prayers can attest to the fact that I have never gone "off the clock" but I am always there as your Loving Father.
Good fathers never rest from helping their children as long as they are alive and their children are alive. They are constant in their efforts to rescue their children and grandchildren from situations that are unpleasant. I am not only a good King, I am a loving, merciful, good, kind and problem-solving Father. I rescue My children from their own actions which have cursed their lives and I rescue them from the actions of other people who take advantage of them. I am in the saving, rescuing business. I always throw out My life line to My children, encouraging them to work with me to bring the perfect solution to every trying situation.
Being "on the clock" means that there is activity coming from My heaven into your earth which will solve everything that gives you unrest. It is My pleasure to do those very things. (Luke 12:32) You must make sure that your spiritual duties are always "on the clock"; that being to do to others as you want them to do to you, loving your enemies and doing good to them, refusing to strike back verbally or physically when stricken, resisting evil, praying for your enemies and returning good for evil done to you. When you do those things you are extending My activities from heaven into the earth, creating an atmosphere in which I can expertly perform My work to answer your prayers. (Matthew 6:10; Matthew 5:38-48)
When things in heaven and things in your life are in agreement with Me, it is easy for Me to perform My marvelous miracles because there are no demons from hell interfering with My work in your behalf. But when you are exhibiting the characteristics of evil in your life, there is no agreement with me; there is opposition to Me. The evil being exhibited by you will overcome all the good that I want to do for you because you have made the choice of evil over good. However, if you are continuing in My good thoughts, attitudes and actions, you are planting good seeds which will multiply in My heaven and be delivered to you in abundance because you are in agreement with Me.(Matthew 18:19-20)
My children still do not know by revelation that good will always overcome evil and love will always overcome a multitude of sins. That is because they do not know the greatness of My power that lives within them in the person of My Holy Spirit (Ephesians 1:16-23) and they do not know the vastness of My love for all of My creation. (Ephesians 3:14-20)
If you are lacking in wisdom relating to My power and My love, ask My Holy Spirit to remove the blinders from your eyes and enlighten you with the truth. Then you will know that I am always "on the clock" for you, eager to meet your needs, wants and desires.

FATHERLY SOLUTIONS
FATHERLY SOLUTIONS
Dear One,
In the earth there are problems which come into your life that are common to all people because the devil never gives up in trying to destroy everything good that I created. (I Corinthians 10:13) But, you can rejoice because Jesus said that He overcame all of them. (Matthew 16:33) We can overcome them in your life just as easily. All We need in order to overcome them is your cooperation. Cooperating with Me means being in unity with Me. (Ephesians 4:3)
Can you operate your life with hatred, anger, judgment, condemnation, vengeance or unkindness toward others and be in agreement with Me? No. When you do operate in those negative thoughts, attitudes and actions you are cooperating with the father of problems, the devil. I said that anyone who is in unity with the father of negatives cannot enter into the blessings of My kingdom. (I Corinthians 6:9-11) They are opposite kingdoms, one the kingdom of evil and one the kingdom of goodness. My children who are in agreement with the kingdom of evil cannot spiritually access My problem solving actions which are guaranteed to alleviate every problem. So the first thing that you must do is make sure that you are in unity with Me, choosing thoughts of love, mercy, goodness and kindness. Jesus clearly stated that principle. He said if you come to Me and know that someone has something against you that you should leave and make peace with the person. In other words, you must clear the road to receiving the solution to your problems by making peace with everyone. (Matthew 5:23-25)
Remember that the things in the earth are made out of things in heaven. I said through My Holy Spirit that things seen are made out of things unseen. (Romans 4:17) Solutions in the earth are made out of My elements in heaven. I deliver those solutions to My children who are in unity with Me. I cannot deliver them to those who are in unity with the demonic father of the problem because of the negative interference from hell.
I said that it is My good pleasure to give you My kingdom. (Luke 12:32) I delight in solving every problem that you have. I delight in giving to you your inheritance while you live in the earth. Your inheritance does not only begin to be distributed when you come to heaven to live with Me. The distribution comes while you are living My life of love while in the earth. (Luke 11:20)
Every problem has a solution. I have all solutions in My wisdom. Come to Me for My wisdom relating to every problem that you have. Then listen to Me for My problem solving guidance to come to you. I will be working to alleviate the problem while you are walking in love.

YOUR LIFE SOURCE
Dear One,
When Jesus was expounding His teaching on My Holy Spirit, My life source which was the power source in Jesus, He said that through My Spirit of Life living in My children that they would be able to live and breathe and have their being in Me. And He added to that truth that if My words abide in you that you can ask anything of Me and it will be done for you. (John 15:7)
The only way My words can abide in you is if you are infused with, surrounded by and living in the presence of My Holy Spirit. When My Spirit lives in you, then My prayer words live in you. Those prayer words are words which are immediately acted upon by My heavenly hosts in answer to your prayers. Those heavenly, spiritual words of Mine, which are spiritual tongues, come from My creative wisdom and are spoken by Me to My Spirit and then through your mouth, re-creating events which change every negative, destructive, irritating, strife-filled situation into a positive, fulfilling, loving, peaceful, joyful one. So the admonition of Jesus was that you must have My words living in you for your prayers to be answered efficiently.
Paul understood this truth when he wrote that when you are led by My Spirit and pray in My Spirit that I will make everything in your life work together for your good because you are abiding in Me. (Romans 8:14,27-28.) When you are led by My Spirit you will take My advice and He will change your thinking, your attitudes and your actions and make them in agreement with My thinking, attitudes and actions. When you do that, you make your earthly life a reflection of My heaven. (John 15:8) When your thinking, attitudes and actions in the earth are the same as mine in heaven, you are setting the earthly stage for speedily answered prayers. However, the words of the Director of all good activity in the earth still needs to be utilized. That being is My Holy Spirit, whom Jesus taught over and over again is the power behind all miracles. (II Corinthians 3:17-18) So when you allow My Spirit to pray in His spiritual language through your mouth in the earth, you are cooperating fully in His endeavors to make all things work together for your good and the earth. Your earth was created by My endeavors through Him and He wants to continue to create and re-create heavenly events in the earth to enhance the lives of My children.
(Genesis 1:1; Hebrews 11:3)
Earthly children want to enjoy the benefits of their good earthly parents as long as they can so as to enjoy the guidance and blessings of their parents. The same truth is reflected in My children who want to live (abide) with Me and then take My advice, allowing the power of My words which produce miracles to flow from your mouth. Jesus called that miracle the promise of the Father, the coming of My very own Holy Spirit into the lives of My children. (Acts 1:4-5; Acts 2:1-4) It allowed Me to dwell in you and others who accept My power source into your lives. It was the beginning of My miracles being resident in the lives of mere mortals.
If you want all of your prayers answered, do what Jesus said, live by the direction of My Spirit and let My words settle down in you and be prayed by you. (I Corinthians 14:15-18)
Jesus said it. It's true. I want to answer all of your prayers. Cooperate with me by taking the advice of Jesus. He knew how it all works together for your good.
