EMPHATIC INSTRUCTIONS
My Dear Precious Child,
In the apostle Paul's calling to the attention of My children some problems in the Corinthian church that were causing division and contention in their group, Paul was peeved that there was a big emotional fight between two factions, two people who were leading other people in arguing doctrine. (I Corinthians:10-15) The factions were caused by My children comparing the teachings of different apostles and arguing over whose teaching was right. In Paul's correction of the entire church He let them know that one teacher lays a foundation, another one waters it and I cause the increase. He told the rest of the church that it was not for them to think they were so important and spiritually astute as to take sides against each other.
In his correction he reminded them of an old saying, "Keep to what is written." In other words, remain loyal to what was spoken and recorded by Jesus Christ as the final authority. He told them to assess their progress in faith and determine if they were already so rich in the things of My kingdom that they felt wise enough to argue about truths. (I Corinthians 4:6-9) He had already told them that they were babies in spiritual things, still drinking milk when they should be eating solid food themselves by hearing from My Holy Spirit. He said that he felt like he was being left out of being consulted while they were acting like celebrities among themselves. He felt like a pauper in the body of Christ because of their arrogance in their own self-importance.
Paul warned them that he was coming to see them and that those people who thought they were so self-important would have to prove their claims by what they could do spiritually, not with what they could merely say. He said that My kingdom of God consists not merely in words but in power, by the demonstrations of the power of My Holy Spirit in the gifts of My Holy Spirit. (chapter 4, verses 18-24)
In his letter to the church at Corinth My Spirit wrote through Paul that there was also something even more concerning in their midst. He said that he had heard that there was sexual immorality among them, that one of the men was sleeping with his stepmother, which was considered incest. Instead of the Corinthians having great pride in the works of their church, Paul said they should be in mourning that they allowed such a thing to exist in their church. (chapter 5, verses 1-5) He told them to expel the man from their community by turning him over to satan so that his sexual body would be destroyed but his soul would be saved.
Paul's reason for being so strict about the sexual immorality was so that the body of Christ in their church would remain pure. Paul reminded them that a small amount of yeast is enough to affect a whole lump of dough, so they needed to get rid of the old bread and start over with a new loaf. They needed to get rid of the old yeasts of evil and wickedness in their midst and leave only the unleavened virtues of sincerity and truth. (chapter 5, verses 6-8) In other words, clean up the temple of God, My body of Christ. Jesus Christ was sacrificed for them so that they would have the power of My Holy Spirit to recognize evil and get rid of the pollution that was sent by the devil to destroy My children.
Further explaining his being so strict in his advice, Paul clarified himself by writing that in another letter when he told them not to associate with people living immoral lives that he was not talking about refusing to associate with the people in the world who are sexually immoral, usurers, swindlers or idol worshipers, because to do that they would have to withdraw from people altogether. What he had been talking about was admonishing them not to associate with a brother or a sister Christian who is openly leading a sexually immoral life or is a usurer, idolatrous, a slanderer, a drunkard or dishonest. He said not to eat with them because to do so would mean that you approve of their sinful lives and you approve of their poisoning the whole church by eating with them and placing your stamp of approval upon their immoral behavior.
I said through Paul that it is not your job to judge the people outside of the church but you are given My authority to judge the people inside of the church in order for the church to maintain its purity. So Paul wrote that they should drive out the evil doer who was among them in order to purify the church again by refusing to welcome into their midst the sexually immoral person who was polluting the church. (chapter 5, verses 9-13)
Because the Corinthians were such babies in spiritual things, they were easily deceived by the devil, identifying evil as being good at times. That is why Paul was so disgusted with their being so unspiritual, lacking in discernment. The gift of discernment is the gift of the Holy Spirit which judges the fruit of a person by identifying evil as being from the devil and good as being from Me. Jesus Christ told his followers that the Holy Spirit would reveal evil for them and also reveal good for them, and He would show them how to judge between the two. (John 16:7-11) Because My children in the Corinthian church were so ignorant of spiritual things they had allowed the devil to enter into their church unidentified even though it was clearly by apparent sexual immorality.
My Holy Spirit discerns the fruit of righteousness and the fruit of evil. My children must learn to hear His voice of discernment so that they can keep their own bodies and minds pure and unpolluted by evil. The Holy Spirit's voice of discernment is one of the most advantageous gifts that I give to My children because it is their only way to stay on the narrow path that leads to the abundant life that I have for My children. (Matthew 7:14)

TREASURES OF THE HOLY SPIRIT
My Dear Precious Child,
Paul, through the revelation of the Holy Spirit, chastened My children in Corinth who should have been eating solid spiritual food but instead were still drinking milk for babies. He told them that all of My wisdom is available to all of My children in the person of My Holy Spirit who lives inside of them in their born again spirits. (I Corinthians 3:1-3) It was not an unkind, unloving gesture by Me to tell them that they had remained babies instead of advancing to adulthood. I wanted to challenge them to begin to seek My kingdom and My righteousness for themselves instead of waiting for someone else to do the seeking for them.
There are situations in the earth and circumstances in daily living which require more wisdom and knowledge than human minds can produce. Jesus Christ died so that My children could access the entire resources of My encyclopedia of wisdom and knowledge, revelations which are stored in My mind. All of them are available to My children. I set all of them aside for My children when I created humanity and there are many who seek them but some who don't. Some of My children leave the treasures of their inheritance sitting unclaimed, the ones of which Jesus spoke about when He said that His disciples should not seek treasures on earth but instead they should seek treasures in heaven which cannot be corrupted, stolen or rot. Those treasures are the wisdom and knowledge in My mind which I call the keys of My kingdom which perfect your life on earth when My children become mature people with the same abundance of spiritual information that was in the mind of My Son Jesus Christ. (Matthew 16:19-20)
I inspired Paul to explain what the spiritual babies were missing in their lives by their being sluggards in spiritual matters instead of actively seeking Me, My insight and My understanding into My spiritual treasures. It is those treasures of which Jesus was speaking when He said to first seek My kingdom and My righteousness; and, if you do that, everything will be done for you, meaning all of your needs will be supplied to overflowing. ( Mathew 6:33)
Many of My children are locked into the mindset of the old covenant in which it was said that eye has not seen, ear has not heard, neither is it stored in the minds of men all that I have prepared for those of My children who love Me. (Isaiah 63:3) Yet, I said under My new covenant of faith that those treasures are the very things that I reveal to My children of promise through the tutoring of My Holy Spirit. They belong to you and all of My children, so you might as well access them if you want your life on earth to be pleasurable and joyful. (I Corinthians 2:10)
I explained that truth by telling you that My Holy Spirit searches the depths of everything, even the depths of My Own mind. (verses 10-11) A human's thoughts and knowledge stored in his own mind can only be known by his own spirit, not by anyone else. So in the same way the treasures in the depths of My mind can only be known by My Spirit, who is My Holy Spirit, who is also your private tutor. (verses 11-12 and Matthew 6:19-21) He is willing and able to reveal them to My children who take time to seek Me, to seek My righteous virtues and to meditate upon the words of Jesus Christ, asking My Holy Spirit to reveal the spiritual wealth that resides in them.
In the letter written by Paul to them, My Spirit assured the people in Corinth that they had not received the spirit of the world but they had received My very own Holy Spirit who was sent by Me to teach My children the deeper truths that are resident in My mind, spiritual things that cause My children to triumph over the evil that is in the world. (verse 12-13) Those spiritual truths contain the keys to My kingdom which are My spiritual strategies, My spiritual orchestrations, My spiritual abilities, My spiritual insights, My spiritual knowledge, My spiritual armor in their battles against the devil, My spiritual wisdom and knowledge, My spiritual armies, and also all of the spiritual truths that were taught by Jesus Christ which even his disciples were unable to understand because of the veil of unbelief which covered their minds until the day of Pentecost when My Holy Spirit descended from heaven and came to live in them. (John 16:12-15) As He did in them, My Holy Spirit reveals spiritual truths to your human mind and He does it from the inside of you, enlightening your human mind to Truths which set you free from the devil and from the old religious laws which bind you to the kingdom of hell.
In speaking about the unspiritual person who does not understand anything that My Spirit teaches, I said that My truths are beyond the understanding of the unspiritual person because they can only be understood by the tutoring of My Holy Spirit. It is impossible for a person to understand spiritual truths if he or she has not been baptized in My Holy Spirit, as on the day of Pentecost. Yet, My Holy Spirit is available to anyone who seeks My kingdom of heaven. Jesus referred to My Holy Spirit as My promise which I made to My children that I would come to earth and live in them and they would be My children and I would be their God. (Acts 1:1-5; Jeremiah 31:33) In other words, they would be baptized with all of My wisdom and My knowledge which are resident in My mind and revealed to them by the person of My Holy Spirit. Jesus told His followers that they would receive My power when My Holy Spirit came upon them, the same power that raised Jesus Christ from the dead. (Acts 1:8; Romans 8:11)
Knowledge is power because it gives insight into matters which a person does not naturally possess. When My children receive My power, they have access to all knowledge that has been hidden from the foundation of the world, the vast amount of knowledge which was resident in the mind of Christ Jesus. He lives inside of My born again children who are also baptized in My Holy Spirit . He is available to give to My children all of the spiritual resources which will form the mind of Christ inside of you, producing His glory in your life, the glory that makes you shine like the sun. (Matthew 13:43)
Oh, that My born again, Holy Spirit baptized children would seek My wisdom and My knowledge from the Holy Spirit who is resident inside of them. (I Corinthians 3:16; James 1:5-8) Jesus Christ paid the ultimate prize by being crucified so that you would become My spiritual child with a hunger and thirst for My kingdom of heaven in which all of My wisdom and knowledge are resident.
Seek Me with your whole heart and you will inherit the treasures stored in My mind which empower you to overcome every obstacle in the world and you will soar like the eagles in My kingdom of heaven while you live in the earth. (Matthew 6:33; Isaiah 40:31)

STERN CORRECTIONS
My Dear Precious Child,
My Holy Spirit, the private tutor of all of My children, was very gentle with His corrections of most of My children in the first churches after My Holy Spirit came to earth to live inside of My children and when My kingdom of heaven came to earth to surround them on the day of Pentecost and on many other occasions later. However, to the Galatians and to the Corinthians I was much more stern and exacting in My corrections. There was a reason for the sternness, because My children were allowing people with evil spirits to pollute My body of Christ. The false prophets of some converted Jews were reintroducing the political and religious laws into My churches of faith and some former Gentiles were returning to the practice of worshiping idols and allowing demonic lusts of the flesh to consume them again. Once the demons are allowed to re-enter into My body, they will leaven or multiply until they pollute the whole church.
In My letter to the Corinthians, I first complimented them for their teachers and preachers, their spreading the gospel and their using the gifts of the Holy Spirit to minister to the body of Christ. However, My chastening of them was genuine relating to there being a vicious church fight which caused division. Some were claiming to be disciples of Peter, some claimed to be disciples of Paul, some claimed to be disciples of Apollos, some claimed to be disciples of Christ. My letter to them via Paul asked them if Christ was parceled out in individual portions instead of His being one body? He asked if any of them had been baptized in the name of Paul instead of in the name of Jesus Christ? (I Corinthians 1;10-16)
My emphasis to them in My letters was on My wisdom and knowledge which had been given to them by My Holy Spirit, contrasting My personal insights and understanding with the weak and ineffective human knowledge of the Jews and Greeks to which they had originally been devoted. I tried to convince them that they had been made members of Christ Jesus and that by My doing so in their lives that they had become My wisdom, My virtue, My holiness and My freedom, not by human wisdom but by the power of My Holy Spirit. (I Corinthians 2:1-5)
Instead of being mature in their spirituality, they were still babies, still drinking milk instead of eating the solid food of revelation knowledge. They were unschooled and unspiritual in their understanding of spiritual truths so their foundations were unstable. They had been playing church instead of their individually seeking My kingdom and My righteousness as taught by My Holy Spirit. (I Corinthians 2:6-9; I Corinthians 3:1-4)
The fact that they were split in their devotion to Me, claiming to be followers of the various apostles, that revealed the jealousy that had crept into My body of Christ. I asked them what could be more unspiritual than their claiming to either be of Paul or Peter or Apollos?
The same is true in My body of Christ in your day. There are many factions which claim to be of one denomination or another and each claims to have all of My truth, all which produce unspiritual children because they are refusing to advance into the tutoring of My Holy Spirit as was taught by Jesus Christ. (John 16:7-15) My Holy Spirit is your tutor, your advocate, your strength, your counselor and the only One who reveals truth to My children.
When you refuse the tutoring of My Holy Spirit you declare the sacrifice of Jesus Christ to be of no effect in your life because you have left the Truth and bought into the lies of false prophets which cost you the joys and benefits of My kingdom of heaven becoming reality in your life.
My Spirit is always speaking to My children. It is their dull ears which are unable to hear because of division, strife, jealousy and discord which come from their yielding to the temptations of the evil prince of your world which are introduced into My body of Christ by false prophets, of which you were warned by My Son Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ came into your world to destroy the works of the devil. (I John 3:8) When He came to sit down in My heaven with Me, He gave His responsibility in the earth to My Holy Spirit, His ministry of destroying the works of the devil in your world. My Holy Spirit gives to My children of promise the power to execute My authority in the earth over the evil one, sending his demons into hell. (Matthew 13:36-43) Instead of assuming their responsibility in My kingdom of heaven, many of My children yield to the teachings of the devil's false prophets which makes the sacrifice of Jesus Christ null and void in their lives. Thus, they return to the pigpen of their former lives.
My blessings and rewards still await those of My children who take the words of Jesus Christ, treasure them and follow them as He taught you to do by your yielding yourself to My Holy Spirit for His private tutoring which opens your human mind to My insights and understanding which further the blessings of My kingdom of God in your life. I await your fellowshipping with Me so that you will enjoy the benefits of being One with Me. (I John 1:3-7)

PRODUCTIVE SUGGESTIONS
My Dear Precious Child,
My Holy Spirit wrote through Paul in his letter to the people in the church in Philippi that they were his joy and his crown. Even though he had no complaints about them, he still had instructions and suggestions on how to make their lives even more happy. He repeated several times His desire that he wanted them to be more and more happy, happy in Jesus Christ their Lord.
I had no complaint about My children in the church at Philippi because they had been discerning about whom they allowed to enter into their church, making sure they had not allowed false prophets who were trying to take them backwards into loyalty to their earthly country and old religious/political laws. My Holy Spirit inspired them through Paul to be loyal to the new country of their born-again origin, which is My kingdom of God. He clearly said that your citizenship is in heaven and that you must press on toward the high goal to which Christ called you which is becoming mature, full grown and having the mind of Christ. (Philippians 3: 20-21)
Paul said that he was determined to forget all that was past, even his loyalty to his old country, and instead he was straining forward to the glories that lie ahead which are resident in his new country of origin which is My kingdom of heaven. It is impossible to live with one foot in loyalty to a country ruled by Pharisaical politicians and have one foot in My kingdom of heaven whose head is Christ Jesus. (Philippians 3:13-14) Paul said that he was once completely loyal to Jewish traditions and political laws, but when he became a new creature in Christ Jesus that he became loyal to Jesus Christ, to Me and My kingdom of heaven. (Philippians 3:3-15) Jesus said you cannot be loyal to both, that you will love one and hate the other because you cannot have two masters. (Luke 16:30) He said all that you owe your earthly country is to pay your taxes and obey the laws of your land so that you will live in peace. Your loyalty belongs to Me and My kingdom when you are born of My Holy Spirit and baptized in My Holy Spirit because My kingdom of God has come into your life, just as Jesus Christ prayed. (Matthew 22:17-21; Matthew 6:19-21) I SAID THAT YOUR CITIZENSHIP IS IN MY KINGDOM OF GOD.
Suggestions and instructions from My Holy Spirit through Paul to ensure that you are always increasing in happiness are:
ALWAYS BE HAPPY IN THE LORD.(Philippians 4:4)
BE TOLERANT, CONSIDERATE AND UNSELFISH WITH EVERYONE. (Philippians 4:5)
DO NOT WORRY OR HAVE ANXIETY ABOUT ANYTHING. (Philippians 4:6-7)
PRAY FOR WHAT YOU NEED WITH THANKSGIVING and MY PEACE THAT IS GREATER THAN HUMAN UNDERSTANDING WILL MOUNT AS GUARD AROUND YOUR HEART AND YOUR THOUGHTS IN CHRIST JESUS. (Philippians 4:6-7)
FILL YOUR THOUGHTS WITH THINGS THAT ARE TRUE, and
THINGS THAT ARE HONORABLE, and
THINGS THAT ARE GOOD, and
THINGS THAT ARE PURE, and
THINGS THAT ARE LOVELY AND LOVABLE, and
THINGS THAT ARE KIND, and
THINGS THAT ARE GRACIOUS, and
THINGS THAT ARE VIRTUOUS, and
THINGS THAT ARE WORTHY OF PRAISE.
ONLY FIX YOUR MIND ON THOSE THINGS.(Philippians 4:8)
When you take the advice of My Holy Spirit you will continue to be happy, blessed in every area of your life and shine like the sun in a dark world. People will see your good works of love and glorify Me.
Your Father of an Abundance of Blessings.

BLESSED PEOPLE
BLESSED PEOPLE
My Dear Precious Child,
There were people in a church in a specific country who were progressing in learning truths from My Holy Spirit after the day of Pentecost. They were loving one another and being kind to everyone. Paul and Timothy wrote a letter to them, not one of complaint and correction but one of compliments for their fruit of the Spirit and their progressing in the teachings of the Holy Spirit through His tutoring them. In fact, Paul wrote that I, who had done a thorough work in them, would continue until the Day of Christ Jesus completely dawned in their lives, making them shine like the sun. (Philippians 1:6) He told My children in that church that they had a permanent place in his heart and that He loved them just as Christ loved them. Paul was proud of them because they had stayed pure and had not listened to false prophets.
I did not have to correct them or chasten them because they had not allowed the reformed Jews to enter into their church and pollute them by manipulating them into combining their newfound grace in Jesus Christ with the ineffective rules and regulations of the old religious and political laws. They also had not allowed the devil to succeed in his temptations to introduce either sexual sins, greed motivations, binding political dedications, worrying and fretting, or the deceitfulness of riches into their congregation. (Matthew 13:22-23) They had remained more pure than the other churches which had formed after the day of Pentecost when My kingdom of heaven became real in the earth in the lives of My children who sought My kingdom and My righteousness.
In his letter to My children at Philippi My Holy Spirit wrote through Paul that some people in other churches, like them, were preaching the Good News out of love, which is the right motivation, but other churches were preaching the Good News out of competition and rivalry. (Philippians 1:15-16) In preaching the gospel from a motivation of love, which was Paul's habit, he told his students not to be concerned about the people who preach My word with selfish and jealous reasons because their ways might make Paul's imprisonment harder; but he felt like it was furthering his preaching because of the fruit of love from Him was in contrast to their competition. (Philippians 1:17) Paul was glad that the Good News was being preached, no matter what the motivation was. (verse 18) He said that he wanted Me to be glorified, whether in his death or in his life. In fact, his preference was that I be glorified in his death because he would be with Me. However, he knew that he needed to stay alive so that the people at Philippi would progress even further in their faith. (verses 21-26)
Through Paul and Timothy I encouraged My children at Philippi, and you today, that you continue to be united in your convictions and in your love if your life in Christ means anything to you. He said that if love motivates you at all, and since you have My Holy Spirit in common with tenderness and sympathy and in their being united in your love and convictions, that you will always be united in purpose. He told that church that their unity with others of My children would make him very happy. (Philippians 2:1-2)
My challenge to My children, which Paul wrote by inspiration of My Holy Spirit, is the following advice:
LET THERE BE NO COMPETITIONS WITH OTHER PEOPLE AMONG YOU.
LET THERE BE NO CONCEIT AMONG YOU.
DO NOT THINK OF YOUR OWN INTEREST, FIRST JUST LIKE JESUS DID.(PHILIPPIANS 2:3-5)
DO NOT COMPLAIN OR ARGUE (VERSE 14-16)
BEWARE OF SPIRITUAL DOGS, PEOPLE WHO MAKE MISCHIEF.
WATCH OUT FOR CUTTERS, MEN WHO INSIST ON CIRCUMCISION AS A
RELIGIOUS PRACTICE IN ORDER TO SUCK YOU BACK INTO RELIGIOUS
LAWS.(Philippians 3:2-4)
FORGET THE PAST, STRAIN TOWARD THE FUTURE AND WHAT IS TO COME,
RACING FOR THE FINISH AND CLAIMING THE PRIZE TO WHICH CHRIST
JESUS CALLS YOU UPWARD TOWARD THE PERFECT MAN. (verses 13-16)
REMEMBER THAT YOU ARE A CITIZEN OF THE COMMONWEALTH OF
HEAVEN, STRIVING PATIENTLY TO BE TRANSFORMED INTO THE IMAGE OF
JESUS CHRIST BY THE MINISTRY OF THE HOLY SPIRIT INSIDE OF YOU. (PHILIPPIANS 3:10 and 20(AMPLIFIED BIBLE ) That is the hope to which you are called, to become His image in the earth.
ALWAYS BE SELF EFFACING.
ALWAYS CONSIDER THE OTHER PERSON TO BE BETTER THAN YOURSELF.
ALWAYS THINK OF THE INTEREST OF THE OTHER PERSON FIRST.

RETURNING TO THE PIGPEN
My Dear Precious Child,
We have talked about the wonders of having been born of My Holy Spirit and baptized in My Holy Spirit, experiencing joy unspeakable, enduring peace and the knowledge of being loved unconditionally. Yet, some of My children become like Adam and they begin to again yield to the temptations of the devil which takes them right back to the former life of curses and pigpen living, wallowing in the dirt and mud of life instead of continuing to live in My kingdom of love.
My children in the church at Galatia is a good example. The prophet Paul heard of their life journey backward into sin, forgetting that the sacrifice of Jesus Christ for their sins was My plan of their salvation. In Paul's letter of correction to them, My Holy Spirit inspired Paul to quickly launch into My chastening of them for following a different gospel in which they were encouraged by deceived prophets to return to observing the religous laws of the old covenant. He identified the people who were spreading that different gospel among them, one that required them to combine the teachings of the old covenant with My new covenant of the Holy Spirit. The heresy was that My childen must return to obeying the religious laws with its dependance upon obeying the rules and regulations of the old ineffective covenant for salvation instead of continuing to trust in Jesus Christ for their salvation. (Galatians 1:6-8) Paul said if it was a man or an angel teaching them to return to old covenant laws, whoever it was, that he is condemned.
The first thing that the deceived teachers insisted upon was My newly born again men being circumcised as an additional way to salvation, along with belief, instead of My children depending upon Jesus Christ, My Holy Spirit and Me to continue to remove the real skin, which is the demon of unbelief that covers the minds of people. My salvation is a spiritual work while circumcision is a physical work which has nothing to do with salvation, only with physical cleanliness. Under the old covenant the practice of circumcision was meant to only be a prophesy of what the sacrifice of Jesus Christ was going to accomplish when I sent Him to save My children from the works of the devil. So the sacrifice of Jesus Christ for your sins has to do with My Holy Spirit removing that inivisible veil that has allowed the devil to deceive you and curse your life. When My children come to Me to be born again and baptized in My Holy Spirit, that veil, or spiritual skin, is removed and My Holy Spirit with his power over evil floods into you.(Galatians 1:6-9)
In Paul's letter, I asked the men in Galatia who had tricked them, who had cast a spell upon them so that they would so quickly reject faith in Jesus Christ as their salvation? I asked them in My letter to them if it was because of obeying the written laws that they had received My Holy Spirit or was it by faith in Jesus Christ? I asked them if they were so foolish, so silly and so senseless as to try to reach perfection in the flesh after having begun their new life with My Holy Spirit? I asked if all of My gifts and miracles had been wasted on them or did they think that I had given My Spirit to them so freely because they had practiced the Law instead of believing in Jesus Christ and the anointing of My Spirit? (Galatians 3:1-5)
My Holy Spirit through Paul's letter compared people of faith to the people who depend on the religious laws for justification. He said that people of faith in Jesus Christ are blessed, happy and favored by Me through believing and trusting in Me. In contrast, He reminded the people in Galatia that people of the old covenant who depend upon obedience to the rituals of religous laws to justify them are under a curse, doomed to destruction and disappointment. (Galatians 3:9-10) The people had forgotten that it was written in the scriptures that anyone is cursed who adheres to the religious laws, doomed to be punished if they don't obey every precept and command that's written in the laws and practice them. (Deuteronomy 27:26)
It is by faith in Jesus' crucifixion, death and battle in hell that My children inherit the blessings that come from being My child. My devoted children experience the blessings of having My life inside of them instead of experiencing the devil's death and destruction which comes from observing religious laws. The religious laws are impossible to obey and My children are open for the condemnation of the devil when they can't obey them. Jesus Christ, Himself, did not obey all of the religious laws when it was necessary to heal someone, feed someone and minister to someone in some way.
Jesus Christ purchased your freedom from the devil's curses of the law by His becoming a curse for the whole world so that through belief in the sacrifice of Jesus Christ the promises of My blessings might come upon them, and that through faith in Him you might receive the promise of My Holy Spirit. (Galatians 3:16-19; John 20:22-23; Acts 2:1-4) When you have faith in Him and are led by My Holy Spirit, you are blessed with peace and joy in every area of your life. Yet, My children in Galatia had returned to the religious laws that brought destruction and death.
My Holy Spirit inspired Paul to tell the Galatians that I meant for them to be free and to stay free instead of retreating back into the curses that come from strict religious laws. He challenged them to stand firm in the liberty wherein Christ set them free. He told them, "DO NOT BECOME ENTANGLED AGAIN IN THE YOKE OF BONDAGE," by looking to circumcision as a way to salvation. When My children do, then they are obliged to obey all of the religious laws. Faith expressing itself in love is what is important to Me. (Galatians 5:1-6)
Returning to old covenant laws as a means to salvation will only cause My children to return to their former pigpen-living after having enjoyed the blessings of My kingdom of heaven. Reject every temptation from the devil or from emissaries of the devil who are men sent to tempt you to return to old covenant laws instead of depending upon your faith in Jesus Christ to reconcile you to Me.
Beware of people who require obedience to religious laws as a means of living a life of faith in Jesus Christ.

EFFECTIVE CORRECTIONS
My Dear Precious Child,
In dealing with correcting My children's tendencies to return to the passions of their flesh and thus retreat from the blessings of My family, My Holy Spirit wrote letters to the new churches who had been blessed with all spiritual blessing of heaven through Jesus Christ. He reminded all of My children that you were all chosen to become holy and spotless and to live and move in your life on earth through the love of His presence in your newly created life. He reminded you that it was through the shed blood of Jesus Christ that you have freedom from sin and forgiveness of your sins. A marvelous benefit of My grace is that I have showered you with the wisdom and insight of My Holy Spirit so that you might know the mystery of My purpose, the hidden plan that I so kindly made in Christ from the beginning, that everything in heaven and earth would eventually be brought together under Christ. My method is accomplished by My Holy Spirit coming to live inside of you and putting My words in your mouth which allow My words to speak out solutions to problems in your life on earth, and My words placed in your heart which illuminate your understanding of spiritual matters. (Ephesians 1:3-14; Acts 2:1-4)
The prophet Paul wrote a letter of correction to My children in Ephesus about not only some of their good virtues but also about the passions of the flesh to which they had succumbed. First, as is My custom, I spoke positive things through My Holy Spirit which were written through Paul that I was happy with their faith and the love that they had shown to others. (verses 15-16) He said that, yet, he never failed to pray that I would reveal to you and to them the FULL KNOWLEDGE of My will. I wanted to challenge all of you to continue to seek My kingdom and My righteousness after you are born of My Holy Spirit so that you and My other children will know fully the hope of your calling, which is that Christ might grow in you until you are a complete spiritual person with My loving character displayed in its entirety in you. (Ephesians 1:17-18)
He said that he also prayed that you might have revealed knowledge of the rich glories of your inheritance that I laid up for you when you became My child, your inheritance being for you spiritually, mentally, emotionally and physically. He also prayed that you would seek complete insight into the power that I placed in you when you were born of My Holy Spirit and baptized in My Holy Spirit. He reminded you that you have resident in your body the same infinitely great power that raised Jesus Christ from the dead and made Him to sit in heaven with Me with power over every demon from hell, every sovereignty, authority, power and dominion in your world, in the heavens and in the world to come. (Matthew 28:18-20) He wanted you to fully understand that My Holy Spirit inside of you has the power to put under your feet and thus under my feet all evil tempters who entice you to sin. (Ephesians 1:15-23; Matthew 13:36-43)
My Holy Spirit wrote in the letter to the Ephesians through Paul a reminded of their lives and your life before you became My children, how you were spiritually dead through crimes and sins when you were ruled by the devil and his demons. Yet, I loved you and had mercy upon you so much that when you were dead through sins I brought you to life and saved you through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ. It is by My grace that you have been saved, not of yourself, but by the life and sacrifice of Christ. (Ephesians 2:1-10) It is by My grace only that you have been saved.
He reminded My children in Ephesus, and also you, that at one time when you lived according to the dictates of the flesh by the temptations of the devil that there was no peace between us, but Jesus Christ broke down that barrier and made you One with Me, creating one single New Man in Christ. (verses 11-22) Paul reminded you about the mystery to which he was called to reveal, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory, emphasizing that My Spirit has been given also to pagans. My Holy Spirit is a treasure entrusted to you to live in your body and in the bodies of all of My children. (I Corinthians 1: 16; Ephesians 3:1-13)
Another prayer that Paul prayed constantly for the believers in Ephesus and for you is that I would, out of My infinite glory, grant to you by the power of My Holy Spirit that you might grow strong in revelation so that Christ continues to live in you. He prayed that you would have a convincing revelation of My love so that you will be firmly rooted and grounded in My love, knowing the breadth, length, height and depth of My love until you are filled to overflowing with My fullness. My Holy Spirit inspired Paul to tell you that when you allow My Spirit to fully do His work of revelation in you of renewing your human mind, then I can do exceedingly, abundantly, infinitely more than you dare ask, think, imagine or desire for you and all of My children according to the power of My Spirit inside of you.
Those words of Mine inspired by the Holy Spirit through the prophet Paul preceded My exhortation of My children in Ephesus, and others of My children, about your yielding to some temptations of the flesh which are causing you and My other children to begin to lose your glorious inheritance because you have bonded with the devil's kingdom instead of Mine. You must heed the exhortations of the Holy Spirit and abandon your spiritual lukewarmness, choosing to return to your full and complete devotion to Me.(Revelation 2:1-7)
My forgiveness and grace is forever constant. My children often need a reminder of what Jesus Christ did for you and what My Holy Spirit is doing for you now when you devotion and love for Me are still strong.
