My Dear Precious Child,
I have told you in the past that the more you know about the spiritual dimension that surrounds you, the more faith you will have. When you know that My kingdom of heaven is available to you by your being born of My Holy Spirit and baptized in My Holy Spirit, and you know that My kingdom surrounds you in a particular dimension that surrounds the earth, you then know that I am not a Father a million miles away in the sky, but that I am as near to you as your own hand, only in another dimension.
Also, when you know that the kingdom of hell is also in a different dimension around you, then you know that the devil is also close at hand. If you will read your Instruction Book about the demons that the devil sent to inhabit the earth after he tricked Adam into allowing him access to the earth, you will know that they roam the earth seeking people whom they can trick into doing their wills in the earth. When you know that the devil is god of the earth because of Adam's yielding to his will, the devil flooded the earth with evil and caused people to sin by doing his will. (II Corinthians 4:4; John 12:20) You can trace the entrance into the world of each demon by charting Adam and Eve's sins, then their children's sins. They are called the devil's curses, which I said followed the devil and his demons' entry into the world that I created for My children to be a copy of My heaven. (Genesis 3:11-19; John 8:44) The devil has sabotaged that plan.
Paul said he knew a man who went to the third heaven, or the heaven in the third dimension around the earth. Counting the earth's vast atmosphere as being one dimension and the devil's dimension of hell as being the second dimension, and a man visited with Me in the third heaven, then My kingdom of heaven is in the third dimension where the man said he encountered paradise and heard words which are not lawful for a person to utter. (II Corinthians 12:1-3)
When you know that My heaven surrounds you, then it is easier for you to have faith in My promise that for whatever you ask, it will be done for you by Me.
When you know that the demons wander the earth seeking people weak in human passions so that they can tempt them to do the devil's will in the earth, then you will be more astute in opposing their temptations by either resisting them or by casting them into hell when you are tempted. (I Peter 5:8)
When you think that temptations are merely your own thoughts, you are not discerning the spirits, not discerning that the temptations in your thoughts are from the demons who come to rob, kill and destroy you, just like your Brother Jesus Christ taught to you. If you obey the temptations, then you are doing the devil's will in the earth and refusing to do My will which brings love, peace and joy to you and your world. (John 10:10)
If a family of thieves and robbers moved into your earthly neighborhood, you would not fraternize with them and you would warn your children not to have anything to do with them. Take note of this: you have spiritual thieves and robbers living in the spiritual dimension around you and you sometimes fraternize with them, even though I, your Heavenly Father, warned you not to even listen to their words of temptations.
You easily fall for the temptations because they come into your thoughts and you think that your thoughts are yours alone. THINK AGAIN! If your thoughts are open to temptations, they are not private. That is why David, the Songwriter, wrote that his desire was that the words of his mouth and the meditations of his heart were always acceptable to Me. (Psalm 19:14) Meditations are thoughts.
Your life on earth is a constant battle between My angels of goodness enticing you to do My will and the devil's demons of evil tempting you to do his will.
Thanks to the sacrifice of Jesus Christ, He and I sent My Holy Spirit to live inside of you and we cast aside every demonic barrier that separated you from My kingdom of God. Now you have My power to refuse to be led by the devil's temptations but instead to defeat the devil by casting his demons into hell. When you are successful at sending the demons into hell, there is weeping in hell because they have lost a battle. If you obey a temptation of the demons, there is a celebration in hell because they have won a battle.
Your enemy, the devil, is trying to retaliate against Me for My throwing him out of My heaven. Gaining reentry into My heaven for the devil and his demons is impossible so he retaliates at Me by attacking My children in your dimension and tempting you and them to do his will in the earth. When you yield to him and do his will in your life on earth, then you are motivated by hell and those demons will bring hell into your life on earth. When you cast tempting demons into hell and only do My will in the earth, then My full inheritance is available for you to access while you live in the earth. It's called the abundant life, just like Jesus Christ said.
Praying in My Holy Spirit at all possible times will allow My angels to battle for you in obedience to My words and cast into hell the demons who are planning assaults against you. (Ephesians 6:14-20) When you pray in My Holy Spirit, as My child who has dominion in the earth again after Jesus was raised from the dead, then My words through your mouth wage war and win battles of which you have no knowledge. My Holy Spirit's words bypass your mind and only come into the earth through your mouth as One of My children who has dominion over all of the devil's forces. I told you to even stay awake to pray in the Spirit because of the ability of My angels to battle for you while the minds of people for whom you pray are asleep and I can minister more efficiently for you.
Let those of My children who have spiritual ears to hear spiritual truths listen to My words about the spiritual communities surrounding the world. You are an inhabitant of My kingdom of heaven on a mission trip to the world. Act accordingly with My power inside of you.
Your Forever Loving Father

WINNING EVERY BATTLE
My Dear Precious Child,
We talked about your battles being with demonic spirits in the spiritual atmosphere and they are not with people. (Ephesians 6:11-13) Fortunately, I have given to My children the armor to battle the demons and to win every battle. Any battle that you have lost always involves your surrendering to the enemy and being overcome by his destruction and death. If you correctly use My armor that I gave to you as My child, you win every battle. I said every battle and I mean every battle.
You know that the devil is god of the earth in the lives of everyone who is not born of My Holy Spirit and baptized in My Holy Spirit. Jesus Christ made that plain when He walked the earth and ministered by the power of My Holy Spirit in the lives of people, healing them of the diseases and sicknesses of the devil, casting out demons from people who were possessed and obsessed by demons, raising the dead and then being crucified for the sins of the whole world, going to hell for the whole world, being raised from the dead, coming to sit down with Me in My heaven, and then sending My Holy Spirit, who was the source of His power over evil, sending My Spirit into the earth to live inside of people who invite Me to be their Lord. In those people who receive the forgiveness of their sins by accepting Jesus Christ as their sacrifice for sins, and then receive My Holy Spirit as their guide, power source, counselor, advocate, revealer of truth and wisdom and strength, they have all the necessary power to win every battle against evil as long as they stay in communion with Me and My words.
In My Instruction Book I gave you several ways to defeat the devil and win battles. One way is to resist the devil's temptations and he will flee from you. If you battle him with your will and do not yield to his temptations, he will flee from you and go to someone who is more liable to yield so that the demon can win that battle. (James 4:7-8) Your ability to resist the devil depends upon your submitting yourself to Me, drawing close to Me and cleansing your own hands of any participation in the battle. When you are in communication with Me, you are empowered to resist the devil.
Another way to successfully win battles against the devil was demonstrated by Jesus Christ when He won a battle by quoting My words to the devil who tempted Him. Quoting My words in those instances are necessary when the devil questions My words in your mind. The devil asked Jesus if I really said certain truths, feeding doubt into His mind and now into your mind, and depending on doubt to cause you to yield to him. (Matthew 4:1-11) Jesus Christ was not fooled because My Holy Spirit also fed My words to Him that caused Him to resist the temptation and win the battle with the devil by speaking My words of power. In other words, when you speak My words of power to the devil, he is convinced that you know your power comes from Me and you defeat that demon who is tempting you.
Another way to win the battle with the devil is to cast his demons who tempt you into hell where they belong. In the parable of Jesus relating to My kingdom of heaven being evident in your life and comparing it to the weak power of the demonic kingdom, He said that you will cast the demons either tempting you or coming against you in another person or causing violent weather, casting those demons out of the earth and into hell. Jesus said that My angels will escort the demons that you have cast out of the earth into the flames of fire where there is gnashing of teeth. (Matthew 13:36-43)
That parable of Jesus Christ was a prophetic parable relating to the power that My children now have who are born of My Holy Spirit and baptized in My Holy Spirit. Jesus said that it would come at the end of the age of the Jews who were living at that time, that being the end of the old covenant and at the beginning of My new covenant of the Holy Spirit of Love. (Vine's Dictionary of New Testament Words) I did it first on the day of Pentecost and continue in the lives of everyone who is born of My Holy Spirit and baptized in My Holy Spirit.
You have the same power to defeat demons that Jesus Christ did. He had the power to cast them out of people but not send them to hell yet because he had not yet been to hell. After He rose from the dead He proclaimed that all authority over the heavens and earth had been given to Him. (Matthew 28:16-20) He gave that authority to you when you became born of My Holy Spirit and baptized in My Holy Spirit.The authority to cast demons into hell became the "greater works" that Jesus had prophesied that My children would do after My Holy Spirit came into their lives. (John 14:12-17)
You have already won the war because you were in Christ when He overcame the devil in hell. Your individual battles against the demons can each be won by you by your either using the lessons contained in the scriptures to refute the demon's temptations which question My words, or by resisting the demons after submitting yourself to Me, or by casting the demons who tempt you into hell or by speaking My scriptures to the demons who know that they are powerless against My words.
Make sure that you are strong in My armor: strong in the truth that you are endued with My power, that you are cleansed of your sins and that you are My righteousness in the earth, that you are at peace with everyone, that you know the scriptures so that you can refute the demon's erroneous quotations of scriptures, making sure that your mind is submitted to Me, and that you have the prayers of My Holy Spirit to use as your words as weapons against the demons. (Ephesians 14-17) He said when your armor is strong and in place, that you must pray at all times in the Holy Spirit on every possible occasion, that you should never get tired of staying awake to pray for all the saints and for the gospel to be spread.
You can win every battle against demons just like Jesus won the battle against their commander in chief, the devil. Your commander in chief, the God of the Universe, defeated the demons' commander in chief already and you need to defeat every demon who tempts you or comes against you.
Never make people your enemy, even though the devil uses them against you. Always remember that it is the demons behind any action against you who are sent to defeat you. Battle with them and you will win every battle with My words. Battle with people and you will lose the battle.

YOUR REAL ENEMY
My Dear Precious Child,
The biggest problem that My children have is making people their enemies. Even though My Instruction Book says many times that your enemies are not flesh and blood but they are the demons in the air, My very own children forget that key to living successfully in My kingdom of heaven while they are in the earth. (Ephesians 6:12) It is much easier to get angry at someone you can see, touch and feel than the real enemy who is behind the scenes in the spiritual dimension motivating the person to cause problems in your life. That is why you are often unsuccessful in your life in the earth.
Someone angers you, opposes you, conflicts with you, hurts you emotionally, calls you names, injures your family, robs from you, kills someone you love or any other evil act and you react immediately with vengeance by seeking revenge. When that happens, another huge amount of other demons enter into the disagreement, invited there by you, and a full-fledged emotional war begins between two people, which eventually incorporates other family members into the situation and, as it is said, all hell breaks loose.
If you had acted in the beginning of the conflict when you were emotionally crossed, acting in the attitude as taught to you by your Brother Jesus Christ of forgiving the person, then My heavenly benefits would have flooded into your life as delivered by My angels instead of your authorizing more demonic spirits from hell to complicate the situation even more. (Matthew 6:12-15) By acting and reacting in forgiveness and an effort to bring peace to every situation, My kingdom of heaven becomes real in your life with My many blessings and the devil's kingdom of hell has to retreat from your life with its many cursing problems. It's that simple.
The disciples of Jesus were amazed at His teaching about forgiveness. Peter asked Him if it was necessary to forgive a man seven times. Jesus told Peter that if seven times was not enough to bring peace to the situation, and to your mind, than you must forgive the person seven times seventy times. Often the forgiveness starts as an act of your will, and then the next time the devil brings the same offense against you to your mind in order to get you to react in anger, as an act of your will you need to forgive the person again, maybe without any actual desire from your heart, only in obedience to My instructions through Jesus. The choice at that time not to forgive the person is based on the truth that you are choosing the devil's curses to enter and corrupt your life if you don't choose to forgive the person.If you choose, as an act of your will, to forgive the person, then you have chosen to invite My angels to fill your life with My blessings because you have furthered My kingdom of heaven in the earth.(Matthew 18:18-22)
If it takes forgiving the person 490 times as an act of your will, as a choice, then do it. That key to My kingdom was given by My Son Jesus because I know how many times it takes for the devil to leave the situation and leave you without your inheriting his curses of destruction and death. Eventually, after choosing to forgive the person as many as 490 times, his demons leave you without being successful in causing you to react in anger and by that angry action you would have authorized the devil's destruction in your life in some way.
In like manner, if you are successful in forgiving a person 490 times by an act of your will, even without feeling emotionally forgiving, then when the devil leaves you because he was unable to entice you to return evil for evil, with his retreat from your life then you can forgive the person from your heart also, instead of merely from your will because you have proven to the devil that his will is not your will. With the devil's retreat from your life, the glory of My angels flood your life with My blessings and rewards for operating in the forgiveness that is only due the person because I have forgiven you more than 490 times. It doesn't matter that the person doesn't deserve your forgiveness. Your sins, iniquities and transgressions do not deserve My forgiveness, either. It is by the action of My love that I blot out your sins as far as the east is from the west because of the sacrifice of Jesus Christ.
When you are operating in the keys of My kingdom of heaven, your choosing to forgive can be based upon your knowledge that if you do not forgive someone or a group of people, you are giving permission to the devil to curse your life with destruction and even death. That knowledge about this pertinent key to My kingdom is grounds enough for your choosing to forgive, unless you enjoy destruction and death. (Matthew 18:23-35)
A temporary feeling of being right in a situation is not enjoyable enough for you to knowingly choose further destruction in your life on earth.
My keys of My kingdom of heaven are all beneficial and they bring the abundant life to your time on earth. The key of forgiveness fits many situations.

SEEING B UT NOT PERCEIVING
My Dear Precious Child,
Jesus said many times that the keys, or secrets, of My kingdom of heaven are given in parables so that My children will understand but those who are outside of the kingdom will not understand. He said that the hearts of the outsiders have been concealed by a veil so that they can see and do not perceive, hear but do not understand and be converted. The devil is the reason for that veil. (II Corinthians 2:14)
In trying to convince Jesus' disciples and followers that the truths that He taught were to be understood by them, He told a parable about a lamp stand. He asked them if they had a lamp surely they would not put it under a tub or a bed, refusing to share the light from the lamp with everyone who was in a dark room. No, He said, "For there is nothing hidden that will not be disclosed, nothing secret except it be brought to light. If anyone has ears to hear, let him listen to My words." (Mark 2:21-22)
In that pertinent parable is hidden the truth that I intend that My children be the recipients of all of My wisdom and all of My knowledge and that I am not hiding them from My family. It is in those revelations that My children learn how to avoid the evil that is in the world; so, of course I'm not hiding them from My children.
Under the old covenant that I had with the Jews, My kingdom had not come into the earth, so no one was privy to the truths in My words. They were still waiting for My salvation to come into the world through My kingdom of heaven becoming their native country when I came to live inside of them and surround them with My entire kingdom of God. My wish is that all of My children access all of My wisdom and knowledge so that they will always refuse to do evil and only do My good actions in the world, thus being led by My kingdom of heaven while they physically live in the earth. By being led by My Holy Spirit they distribute My love, peace and joy into the earth and My kindness and goodness change their world through them.
After My kingdom came into the world because of the sacrifice of Jesus Christ, Paul recognized that I want all of you to know the secrets of My kingdom. He quoted Isaiah, one of the old covenant prophets, who said, "Eyes have not seen, ears have not heard, neither has it entered into the hearts of men what God has prepared for those who love Him." (I Corinthians 2:9) They could not perceive and understand spiritual principles until My Holy Spirit came into their lives and they entered into My kingdom of heaven. Paul, the apostle, quoted that scripture and then added, "But He has revealed them to us by His Spirit. for the Spirit searches all things, even the deep things in the mind of God." (I Corinthians 2:10-11)
That is grounds for rejoicing, that I wish to share all of My intellect, wisdom and knowledge with My children. That is to what Jesus was referring when He taught about the lamp, that He and I could not and would not hide anything from My children because I am the Good Father. Remember He said that no person who has a lamp will place it under a bed or a tub. He said that it must be placed on a lamp stand so that all people who believe in Me can receive it and be enlightened. He was prophesying that when My children are born of My Spirit and baptized in My Holy Spirit that My wealth of wisdom is available to them in the person of My Holy Spirit. He is always speaking My words and instructions on how for My children to be victorious in their lives on earth. There is no evil in My heaven, so the teachings of Jesus Christ about My kingdom of heaven becoming real in their lives relate to their time on earth, overcoming the evil that is in the earth because the devil is god of the earth in the lives of unbelievers.
When Jesus finished telling about the lamp stand, He added to take notice of what you are hearing and to seek more, because the amount you understand will cause more to be understood, and to the person who understands, more understanding will be given. Yet the person who understands little, even what he or she has will be taken away.(Mark 4:25) He was referring to the lesson that He had just taught about the sower who sows the seed. He said that in people with hard hearts, even if the word is sown in their lives, the devil comes and snatches it away. They understand very little and the little that they understand will be taken away from them by the evil one so that they will not understand and be converted to Me. (Mark 4:15) He was identifying the religious and political leaders of his day and their followers, and of your day, who heard everything spiritual and never understand anything.
That is why I said to seek and keep on seeking My kingdom. It is not I who keeps you from understanding, it's the lies and half truths that have been taught to you by men who don't know Me. They only know facts about Me. Their minds have been closed to truths and only My Holy Spirit can open their minds. (II Corinthians 3:13-18)
Keep seeking Me and you will find My Truth and you will be free.
Your Father of all Truth and All Wisdom.
Jesus said many times that the keys, or secrets, of My kingdom of heaven are given in parables so that My children will understand but those who are outside of the kingdom will not understand. He said that the hearts of the outsiders have been concealed by a veil so that they can see and do not perceive, hear but do not understand and be converted. The devil is the reason for that veil.

After My kingdom came into the world because of the sacrifice of Jesus Christ, Paul recognized that I want all of you to know the secrets of My kingdom. He quoted Isaiah, one of the old covenant prophets, who said, "Eyes have not seen, ears have not heard, neither has it entered into the hearts of men what God has prepared for those who love Him." (I Corinthians 2:9) They could not perceive and understand spiritual principles until My Holy Spirit came into their lives and they entered into My kingdom of heaven. Paul, the apostle, quoted that scripture and then added, "But He has revealed them to us by His Spirit. for the Spirit searches all things, even the deep things in the mind of God." (I Corinthians 2:10-11)
That is grounds for rejoicing, that I wish to share all of My intellect, wisdom and knowledge with My children. That is to what Jesus was referring when He taught about the lamp, that He and I could not and would not hide anything from My children because I am the Good Father. Remember He said that no person who has a lamp will place it under a bed or a tub. He said that it must be placed on a lamp stand so that all people who believe in Me can receive it and be enlightened. He was prophesying that when My children are born of My Spirit and baptized in My Holy Spirit that My wealth of wisdom is available to them in the person of My Holy Spirit. He is always speaking My words and instructions on how for My children to be victorious in their lives on earth. There is no evil in My heaven, so the teachings of Jesus Christ about My kingdom of heaven becoming real in their lives relate to their time on earth, overcoming the evil that is in the earth because the devil is god of the earth in the lives of unbelievers.
When Jesus finished telling about the lamp stand, He added to take notice of what you are hearing and to seek more, because the amount you understand will cause more to be understood, and to the person who understands, more understanding will be given. Yet the person who understands little, even what he or she has will be taken away.(Mark 4:25) He was referring to the lesson that He had just taught about the sower who sows the seed. He said that in people with hard hearts, even if the word is sown in their lives, the devil comes and snatches it away. They understand very little and the little that they understand will be taken away from them by the evil one so that they will not understand and be converted to Me. (Mark 4:15) He was identifying the religious and political leaders of his day and their followers, and of your day, who heard everything spiritual and never understand anything.
That is why I said to seek and keep on seeking My kingdom. It is not I who keeps you from understanding, it's the lies and half truths that have been taught to you by men who don't know Me. They only know facts about Me. Their minds have been closed to truths and only My Holy Spirit can open their minds. (II Corinthians 3:13-18)
Keep seeking Me and you will find My Truth and you will be free.
Your Father of all Truth and All Wisdom.

RIGHTEOUSNESS VERSUS CRAFTINESS
My Dear Precious Child,
After you enter into My kingdom of God every one of the parables in Jesus Christ's teachings about My kingdom of God contains keys or principles relating to how to remain devoted to My kingdom of life and righteousness; and they identify things you must reject from the devil's kingdom of destruction and death.
The parable of the crafty steward relates to how impossible it is to serve two masters. You can only be devoted to the devil and his craftiness or be devoted to Me and My righteousness.
If you will remember the parable, it relates to a rich man who had a manager of his estate. The owner of the estate heard that his manager had squandered his master's possessions. The owner called the manager up before him and told the manager that he was fired and that the manager must give an accounting of what is owed to the owner by his debtors. (Luke 16:1-2)
The manager of the estate of the rich man began to think about how he would have no money, no job, and he was not willing to dig ditches or beg. So he devised a plan so that the debtors of the rich man would take him in after he was exiled from the estate of the rich man. So the manager went to each debtor and told him that he owed the master less than the records showed, collecting a portion of what was owed the rich man and gave them to the rich man. That ingratiated him to the rich man and the debtors.(verses 3-7)
When the rich man found out that his manager had settled for less than was owed, he praised the craftiness of his manager. (verse 8)
In this parable Jesus was pointing out to His followers that even though the manager was crafty and shrewd in dealing with the debtors which pleased his master, the rich man, his deceitfulness is not to be adopted by My children of righteousness. He said that the craftiness of ingratiating himself to the debtors of the rich man is not to be practiced by My children, either. Earlier it was the manager's squandering away the rich man's possessions that got his illegal actions revealed; and then in order to appease the rich man, the manager devised a scheme to ingratiate himself with the debtors of the rich man in order to maybe be hired by them. He piled sin upon sin. (verse 8-9)
The lesson to be learned from this principle is that even when you make friends with people who are devoted to unrighteous money in the world, you must not adopt their craftiness and shrewdness in order to prosper.
Jesus Christ said if you are unfaithful in the small things of the world that I will not be able to trust you with My true riches. However, if you are honest and just in the things of the world, then you have proven to Me that you will be faithful in things pertaining to Me and My kingdom. Then I can trust you with My valuables and I will welcome you into My eternal habitation of My kingdom of heaven
The key or principle is to be honest and prudent even in dealing with the unrighteous mammon of earthly riches and you have proved that you can be trusted with revelations of My Holy Spirit relating to eternal, true riches. In My kingdom it is My wisdom and knowledge which cause you to prosper, not the craftiness and shrewdness of the devil.
His truth in that parable is that a person cannot serve the mammon of his world, the riches, and still be devoted to My kingdom of God. He or she will eventually hate one and love the other by standing by and being devoted to one and despising the other. (verses 10-11) It's impossible to serve both money and Me. You cannot be crafty in cheating someone and still be devoted to Me. If you try to mix the kingdom of hell with My kingdom of God, you have mixed light with darkness and darkness will overcome the light. However, when you remain devoted to the Me and My light, with no loyalty to darkness. then My light in you will overcome the darkness. (verse 11-12)
The devil is always tempting you with your using craftiness and shrewdness in order to deceive someone and in trying to entice you to mix sin and righteousness. It can't be done. The darkness will overcome the light in you.
Always remain loyal to My righteousness and My kingdom so that you will overcome darkness and become My light in the dark world.

OUTSTANDING REWARDS
My Dear Precious Child,
When Jesus taught the parable about a rich man's or woman's difficulty entering into My kingdom of heaven because of his or her reluctance to give up their money, in teaching about it My children place emphasis on the fact that He said it's difficult for a rich person to give up riches. (Matthew19:23-24)
Rarely do people teach the rest of the parable. Jesus added to that negative but true statement a positive one and then added an even more exhilarating one. The first positive one was made after the disciples asked who could be saved if it was true that it's difficult for a rich man to enter into My kingdom of heaven. Jesus Christ said that for men it's impossible, but for Me EVERYTHING is possible. (verses 25-26) That was a possibility that I promised through Jesus Christ.
Peter confronted Jesus with a question, asking what about all of the disciples, that they had left everything and followed Him. Peter asked what they were to do since they had nothing left.
Jesus Christ replied that when all things were made new, speaking about on the day of Pentecost when My kingdom of heaven came into the world to live in My children of promise -- which happened when the people in the upper room were baptized in My Holy Spirit -- and He added that when He sat down with Me in My heaven as His earthly ministry was over and the ministry of the Holy Spirit began in the earth, that then the disciples would judge the twelve tribes of Israel by their gift of casting out demons from and their praying for the Jews to be baptized in My Holy Spirit. They would be judging the demons behind the past actions of the Jews and sending them to hell when they prayed for the Jews. The disciples would also judge the demons behind the words and attitudes of the common people, freeing them from slavery to the devil.
Also, the highlight of that teaching is when Jesus told His disciples another promise. He told them that anybody who leaves houses, brothers, sisters, father, mother, children or land for the sake of the name of Jesus Christ would be repaid by me a hundred times over and that they would also inherit My eternal life by My Holy Spirit coming to live inside of them. (Matthew 19:27-28) This is the most important positive phrase of His teaching, that anyone who gives up undue devotion to anything in the earth, political leanings, houses, lands, family, prejudices and worldly passions, and who give all of their devotion to Me will receive a hundred times what they give up in the world and also they will inherit My eternal life, that being My Holy Spirit and My entire kingdom of heaven in their lives on earth.
When Jesus Christ ended that parable He said that the first would be last and the last would be first. He was talking about the first as being Jews who were reputed to be My children, that they would come into My kingdom after the Gentiles, who were considered pagans and hated by the Jews. But the Gentiles, the unbelievers who had eventually followed Jesus but who were looked down upon by the Jews, would be the first humans to be evangelized, born of My Spirit and baptized in My Holy Spirit, thus being the first to enter into My kingdom of heaven. The people who had formerly been the least respected in the eyes of men while in the earth would have the most benefits, blessings and rewards from Me when My kingdom came into their lives while they live in the earth. (verse 30) The people who had the most influence in the lives of the Jews -- those being the Pharisees, the Sadducees, the scribes, the chief priests, the priests and the elders of the temple -- would be the last to enter into My kingdom of heaven. Some have accepted Jesus Christ as the Messiah and entered into My kingdom, but the majority have not while the Gentiles flood into My kingdom of heaven in droves. (Luke 13:35)

THE GOOD SHEPHERD
Jesus said, "I tell you most solemnly, anyone who does not enter the sheepfold
through the gate but enters in some other way is a thief and a robber. The one
who enters through the gate is the shepherd of the sheep. The gatekeeper lets
Him in, the sheep hear His voice and one by one He calls His sheep and He
lead them out because they know His voice. They never follow a stranger
but run away from him. The sheep do not recognize his voice, the voice of a
stranger." (John 10:1-5)
Jesus Christ told this parable but none of His disciples and followers understood it. So He spoke to them again and said most solemnly that He is the gate of the sheepfold. He said that everyone else that had come were thieves and robbers but the sheep took no notice of them. (John 10:6-8)
In His explanation of the parable of Jesus, He said that He is the gate of the sheepfold, speaking of My kingdom of heaven, and anyone who enters through Him will be safe, that he or she will go in and out and be sure of finding pasture for rest from their labors.(verse 9)
Then Jesus Christ identified the originator of the evil that is in the world. He said that the thief comes only to kill and destroy, but that He, Jesus, came to earth so that they might have life and have it to its ultimate fullest. (verse 10)
Jesus identified Himself as the good shepherd and He said that the good shepherd is the one who lays down his life for his sheep, speaking of Himself in His crucifixion. (verse 11) He said that the hired man abandons the sheep and runs away as soon as he sees a wolf coming, the hired men being the religious and political leaders of His day who used religious laws to enslave people to fear. Then the wolf, or devil, attacks and the religious and political leaders scatter the sheep because they are only hired hands and have no concern for the sheep. He was speaking about the religious Law and its teachers, the religious and political leaders. (verses 12-13)
Again Jesus Christ identified Himself as the Good Shepherd. He said that He knows His own sheep and they know Him just as I know Him and He knows Me. He knows His sheep and they know Him; and He lays down His life for His sheep. He comforted His disciples by telling them that He was going to lay down His life and take it up again.(verses 14-18)
It was that proclamation that infuriated the Jewish leaders, especially when He said that it was in his power to lay it down and in his power to take it up again. They began to say that He was possessed, raving mad, and why should the people listen to Him? (verse 19-20) There were some men present who claimed that His words were not the words of the devil because the devil can't open the eyes of a blind man. (verse 21)
Truly, there is only one gate into My kingdom of heaven. (verse 9) Passing through the gate, being Jesus Christ, is always for the forgiveness of sins and the followers of Jesus Christ obeyed His words and became born of My Holy Spirit and baptized in My Holy Spirit, thus entering into My kingdom of heaven while they lived in the earth.
This one parable as taught by Jesus Christ more fully revealed the truth concerning good versus evil and the old covenant of laws versus My New Covenant of the Holy Spirit.
Make sure that you learn to recognize His voice. It is in hearing the words of the Holy Spirit that you become filled with faith and are empowered to be victorious over the devil and his demons in your life on earth. His words tell you how to use wisdom over evil and His words through praying in My spiritual language battle against the devil and his demons. I always win the battles.
You truly can find the green pastures of rest from your labors. (Psalm 23) Jesus Christ promised it and My Holy Spirit facilitates it by My grace.
