BLESSED BY SPIRIT LED PRAYERS
My Dear Precious Child,
The letter from Jude to everybody in My body of Christ includes stern warnings about false prophets. He wrote that the believers must contend for the faith that is the Christian faith because of the devil's evil spirits of antiChrist that creeps into churches through teachers which Jude called the side door. He identified them as having inherited the doom that was prepared for them long ago by Me. (Jude 4-6) They had perverted My grace and favor and embraced lawlessness, immorality and wantonness which is also called extreme selfishness. As a result they deny their Master and Lord, Jesus Christ the Messiah, the Anointed One. He identified them as dreamers who corrupt the body, scorn authority and government and scoff at heavenly glories, meaning My angelic hosts. (Jude 7) The demons who influence people to operate in conflict, hatred and division are destined for the lake of fire that I created for them as their judgment. Regarding angels, Jude wrote that when the archangel Michael contended with the devil for the body of Moses, he did not condemn him but instead said, "The Lord rebuke you." (Jude 8-9)
Jude wrote further about the men who scoff at things they do not understand; and by those things that are Truth they condemn themselves and are eventually destroyed by their own unbelief.(Jude 10) He wrote that they brought woes into their lives on earth by behaving like Cain in killing people, like committing Balaam's errors, and like embracing Korah's rebellion. He wrote that they are like wild waves of the sea, flinging up foam of their own shame and disgrace; they are wandering stars for whom the gloom of eternal darkness has been reserved forever. (Jude 11)
In more dramatic language Jude said that the prophet Enoch wrote that the Lord would convict those demons who influence the false prophets of their sins of murmuring and complaining, ones who seek their own desires, those who talk boastfully and arrogantly and even those who admire men's passions and pay compliments to people to gain their advantage. (Jude 14-15; Enoch 1:9; Genesis 5:18-25) He wrote that Jesus Christ, Himself, prophesied the same things.(Matthew 13:36-43)
Jude wrote that they both told you that in the days of My last covenant with people that there would be people who scoff at Truth and follow their own demonic passions. He wrote that agitators who set up divisions and being mere sensual, carnal people would be devoid of My Holy Spirit and destitute of a higher spiritual life. BUT YOU, HE WROTE, BELOVED, MUST BUILD YOURSELF HIGHER AND HIGHER UP ON YOUR MOST HOLY FAITH BY PRAYING IN THE HOLY SPIRIT; guarding yourself with My love, waiting for the mercy of the Lord Jesus Christ which brings more and more elements of eternal life to you. (Jude 20)
He wrote that you are to convict some people who dispute with you and to have mercy on others who waver and doubt; and for you to strive for others by snatching them out of the fire, having pity for others, hating even a garment that is polluted with sensuality. (Jude 22:23)
In closing, Jude wrote that there is One who is able to keep you from stumbling, slipping, and falling, so as to present yourself unblemished before the presence of His glory in joy and exultation. Jude signed the letter dedicating it to Me and to the Savior Jesus Christ, giving all glory, honor, majesty, might, dominion, power, and authority before all time and into all ages of eternity; ending his letter with Amen; So be it. (Jude 24-25)

BLESSINGS THAT PROSPER YOU
My Dear Precious Child,
In the apostle John the Beloved's first letter, he wrote it to the believers in the churches. In his second letter he wrote it to a special lady and his third letter he wrote to a person named Gaius whom he referred to as the ESTEEMED BELOVED whom he truly loved. We have talked several times about John and how he had written about the love that Jesus Christ felt for him, so he passed that divine love on to other people, even referring to them as Beloved. In the beginning of John's letter to Gaius, he addressed him as BELOVED, and then John blessed him by praying that Gaius might prosper in every way, that his body would be kept well even as his soul prospered and was kept well. That was spiritual Truth whether John realized it or not. When a person's mind is filled with positive thoughts, loving thoughts and kind thoughts, then his mind sends out beneficial hormones into his or her body which results in its being healthy. (III John 1:1-2)
John wrote to Gaius that he, himself, rejoiced when he heard that other believers had arrived in his town and spoke very highly of Gaius's sincerity and love toward his fellow believers and that he also had been living and walking in the Truth of the Good News. John assured Gaius that the greatest joy in his life occurred when he heard that his spiritual children were living their lives in the Truth. Then John addressed Gaius again as BELOVED and then commented that it was faithful work that he was doing when he served his Christian brethren as well as strangers. He wrote that he had heard that Gaius had even testified in front of the church about his love and friendship and that he would do well to continue to forward them on their journeys in the same way that he had served other people in My name. John also wrote that the traveling ministers had gone out in the name of Christ and were accepting nothing from the Gentiles to whom they preached. He wrote that he and other ministers should support and provide for the traveling ones in order that they might become fellow workers in the Truth and cooperate with the teachers.(III John:3-4)
However, in the third letter that John wrote, this one to Gaius, he reminded him that he had written briefly in the past about one of the elders who liked to take a lead among other men and put himself first, not recognizing John's authority in which he was refusing to accept any suggestions from John. The prophet John went on in his warning about the man Diotrephes. He wrote that when John came into the town where Gaius lived that he would call attention to the man's insulting language and his malicious reflections. He wrote that the man was not satisfied with doing only those fleshly works, but also that he refused to welcome outsiders and tried to even expel them from the church. John was definite in using his own authority to call attention to brotherly abuse. (III John 1:9-10)
Again John addressed Gaius as BELOVED, encouraging him not to imitate evil, but instead to always imitate good. He wrote that a person who does good is of Me but the person who does evil has neither seen Me nor has the person experienced Me in reality. John passed on the news that Demetrius had warm commendations from everyone and from the Truth and wrote that he added his testimony also, confessing that his testimony was true. Like John wrote to the lady, he also wrote to Gaius that he has much more to say but not in words to put down in pen and ink, that He hoped to see Gaius soon and said that they would talk mouth to mouth, just like he told the Christian lady to whom he had written his second letter. (III John 1:11-14)
John sent a wish for peace for Gaius, telling him that their friends with him sent their greetings, also, and then asked to be remembered by his name to his friends who lived in the same area as Gaius. (III John 1:15)
In John's letter to Gaius, he encouraged love, kindness and discernment become evident in him. Instead of writing about false prophets, he named a false prophet who was leading the believers away from the Truth instead of bringing them into the church.
Because John felt loved by Me and Christ, he referred to other people as Beloved.

BLESSED FROM OBEYING SPIRITUAL COMMANDS
My Dear Precious Child,
In John the Beloved's second letter that he wrote, it was addressed to particular people, an "elect lady and her children," whom he wrote were progressively learning to know the Truth, along with all believers. Regarding Truth, he wrote that Truth stays in the hearts of My children forever. (II John 1:1-2) The old covenant prophet Jeremiah had written that My words would be written on the hearts and minds of people, not merely on papyrus and other papers. (Jeremiah 31:31-34) When it's written on minds and hearts, it lasts forever.
John commented to the lady that he was pleased to hear that some of her family was walking in Truth just like I had commanded through Jesus. Then he challenged the lady dramatically, by even begging her, not as if he was issuing a new command but again charging My children that they must love one another, just like they were commanded from the beginning. (II John 1:5) He repeated another additional commandment that he had written in his first letter to the churches, that being that in addition to loving each other was the commandment that they live and walk in the admonitions that Jesus Christ gave to them, that they should walk in all of the commands that He gave to them when He walked and talked and ministered with them, as well as the commands that He gave to them after He rose from the dead. In every word that proceeded out of the mouth of My Son there was a capsule of Truth that needed to be followed if they were to escape from the traps set by the devil who wanted to seduce them into being tempted by his evil ways. (II John 1:6)
In the second letter that John wrote, the one addressed to the lady and her children, He also included a Truth that he had written in his first letter, the Truth that there were many false prophets who were imposters, deceivers who had gone out into the world who did not acknowledge that Jesus Christ was the Messiah in bodily form. He wrote that anyone who did not acknowledge that Truth was a deceiver and a false teacher. John even called them seducers, people who were motivated by the antichrist spirit. John instructed the lady to take care that she and her children did not throw away all that they had labored for by allowing themselves to be deceived and led astray by those false prophets. Instead, John advised the lady for her and her family to persevere until they won the high prize of perfection, which was their becoming conformed to Christ Jesus in full. (II John 1:8; Romans 12:2)
John was precise in his warning, writing to the lady that anyone who runs ahead of Me and rejects the doctrine of Christ does not have Me or know Me at all. He assured the lady that anyone who continues in the teachings of Christ does have Me and knows Me, having both the Father and the Son. John knew that the target of many false prophets was widows who were easy prey for deceit because of being easily spiritually seduced by Pharisees and false prophets. (II John 1:9: Matthew 23:14)
His warning became even more serious when he wrote to the lady warning her that if anyone came to her and did not bring the Truth of loyalty to Jesus Christ and what He taught, that she was not to receive him or her, accept him or her, welcome him or her, or admit him or her into her house and that she was not to wish him Godspeed or encourage him in any way because anyone who wishes false prophets success by encouraging them is a partaker in the evil doings of the false prophets.
John stressed several things in his letter to the lady, things that he had written in his first letter but they were also things that Paul and Peter had also written in their letters to the churches, that they were to love one another and that they were to be on the watch for false prophets. He wrote that there were additional things that he wished to discuss with her, but he would not use pen and ink to tell her, instead he would wait until he came to her and talk with her face to face, so that her joy would be full.
He wrote that the children of the lady's oldest sister wanted to be remembered to her. As was his habit, John signed off on the letter by writing, "Amen. So be it."
I warned My children many times through the apostles that you must determine to love one another and that you would be on the lookout for teachers who do not teach that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh and that He was My Son.

BLESSED BY BEING CONFIDENT IN GOD'S WILL
My Dear Precious Child,
John, the Beloved, wrote to the believers in the churches that only by the power of My Holy Spirit can you have the confidence that whatever you ask, it will be done for you, and since you positively know that I listen to you in whatever you ask, you also know that you have the request that you ask of Me. That is confidence. However, there are things that form a barrier between us, as written by the prophet Isaiah. He wrote that My arm is not so short that I cannot help you and My ear is not so deaf that I can't hear you, but your iniquities have formed a barrier between us so that I cannot hear you, nor can I answer your prayers. (I John 5:14-15; Isaiah 59:1-8) It is in John's assessment and teaching that as long as what you ask is in My will and you are in My will, I will answer your prayers.
Relating to Eternal Life in a person, however, John wrote that if you see a person who is caught in a sin that does not lead to death, if that person will pray to Me I will give to him Eternal Life as long as the sin that he is committing is not to a sin unto death. He said that there is a sin that leads to death, so he did not encourage you to pray for someone who is engaged in that sin to receive My Eternal Life. He wrote that all wrongdoing is sin. He did also write that if you or someone that you know has the desire to to pray for My Eternal Life, in other words to be born of My Spirit, if you observe him or her committing a sin that does not involve death then the sin may be repented of and forgiven and he or she will receive My Eternal Life by being born of My Spirirt. . (I John 15:16-17; John 3:3-21)
He went on to write that if there is anyone who is born of God who deliberately commits sin that there is One who carefully watches over you and urges you not to sin by protecting you against evil, speaking about My Holy Spirit. John proclaimed that you are of Me but the whole world is under the power of the evil one. (I John 5:18-19) His confession was that you must know beyond a doubt that My Son came into the world and has given wise understanding and insight in order for people to intimately know Jesus Christ, who is True; that you are in Me, who is also True, and you are in My Son Jesus Christ , the Messiah. John proclaimed that Jesus Christ is Truly Me and also Truly Life Eternal. (I John 5:20)
In closing out his letter, John, the Beloved, emphasized that My followers must keep themselves from false gods and everything that would occupy the place in their heart that is receptive to Me; refraining from any substitute for Christ that would take first place in your life. He closed his first letter with Amen, So be it.

BLESSED BY BELIEVING THAT JESUS IS THE CHRIST
My Dear Precious Child,
Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ is a born-again child of Mine and everyone who loves Me loves all of My offspring. The litmus test that proves that a person loves My children is that the person loves Me and obeys My command to love one another. My true children are the ones who keep My ordinances and are mindful of His precepts and teachings. My commands are never oppressive because I have given to My children the Holy Spirit, who gives to My children My Power to obey My beneficialcommands. (I John 5:2-4)
Now, one of the biggest advantages of being My children in the world is that whoever is born of My Holy Spirit is victorious over the evil that is in the world. The power of the Holy Spirit in them is their faith in their having My authority over all evil in the earth as declared by Jesus Christ before He ascended into My heaven to sit down with Me. (I John 5:5; Matthew 18:16-20) The only people in the world who are victorious over the devil's evil that is in the world are the people who believe that Jesus is My Son and they rely and trust in His power.
Jesus Christ is He who came by water in the human womb of woman into the earth, but also by His blood, not only by His water baptism but also by being God and man, being born by the water of baptism in the womb, bu also by the blood of the Holy Spirit, for it is the Holy Spirit who confirms witness to Him as being Son of man and Son of God, because the Spirit is Truth. (I John 5:6-7) There are always three witnesses in heaven, the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, and they are three in One. In the earth there are three witnesses, the Spirit, the water and the blood, and all three agree and are in unison. (I John 5:8)
If you believe the testimony of people as human authority, as all of us do, then you must know that My testimony is greater and of stronger authority because Jesus Christ is the witness which I have borne in relation to My Son. And so a person who believes in the Son of God has the testimony inside of himself. He who does not believe in the Son of God has made Me out to be a liar because he or she has not believed in My Son Jesus, who is the testimony that I gave to the world about My Son. This is the testimony that I gave to you about Eternal Life, that Eternal Life is in His Son, so the person who has the Son has Life; and he who does not have the Son does not have Eternal Life. (I John 5:9-12)
John wrote that he was writing the first letter to the churches so that the believers would know with absolute certainty that they have Life; yes, Eternal Life. (I John 5:13-14)
What a joy it is to know that you have My Life inside of you, that Life being Eternal Life.

BLESSED BY FEELING LOVED
My Dear Precious Child,
The disciple John, known as the Beloved, also referred to his fellow believers as the "Beloved" because he felt so loved by Me as evidenced through Jesus Christ. He wrote in his first letter to the believers in churches, "BELOVED, now you are the Sons of God. When He appears to us, we don't know what we shall be like; but we have this promise, that we shall be like Him, so everyone who has this hope in Him will cleanse himself just like Christ is pure." John knew that cleansing the temples of God, their bodies, was paramount to their being made into His image; and he assured them that that revelation was the assurance of their receiving whatever they asked from Me. (I John 3:2-3 and I John 3:21)
After teaching them about their conscience not condemning them in that first letter, John also wrote this edict from Me: "BELOVED, don't put faith in every spirit which ministers to you, but instead you must test every spirit to see if it comes from Me." He knew that there were false prophets who were trying to spy on the freedom that My born again believers had in My new covenant of the Holy Spirit. (I John 4:1) John wanted the believers to be firmly established in My Love as instituted by My Holy Spirit so that they would not be deceived.
John also in his first letter wrote this admonition from Me, "BELOVED, let us love one another, for love comes from God and a person who loves others is born of God and knows God." (I John 4:7-9) "A person who does not love others has not known God; for GOD IS LOVE. God's love was shown in the world concerning us in that He sent His only begotten Son into the world so that we might live through Him. In this is Love, not that you love Him but that He sent His Son to be the payment for your sins." John observed the crucifixion of Jesus Christ, and he knew that only with complete and perfect Love could He agree to die for John's sins and the sins of the whole world.
The apostle John continued on in his first letter writing, "BELOVED, so if God loved you so much, you ought to also love one another. If you love one another, God lives in you and His Love is brought to perfection in you. The evidence that proves that you live in Him and He lives in you is that He sent His Holy Spirit to live in you. " (I John 4:11-13) It is only by My Holy Spirit convincing My children that they are deeply loved, dearly prized and treasured by Me that they can have the same stability of feeling that they are BELOVED by Me.
Because John had the capacity within himself to feel My deep love for him as shown through Jesus Christ when they walked together in the earth and by My Holy Spirit revealing to him the depth, width, length and height of My love for him, it was only then that he was able to so convincingly call other believers the "BELOVED". He was able to love other people with that same degree of love that I showed to him, enough that he was able to call his brothers Beloved because he, Himself, felt so loved by Me.
Paul wrote that when you are established in the revelation of the depth, width, length and height of My love for you that by the power of My Holy Spirit inside of you I am able to do exceedingly, abundantly and supernaturally far above and over all that you ask, think, dream, hope and pray; so that to Him will be My glory in Christ forever and ever. Amen, so be it. (Ephesians 3:20-21)
May you know by revelation My Love and My Power to the highest degree so that you will know, like John and Paul, that you are My BELOVED, and that through that revelation you will be able to refer to other people as Beloved.

BLESSED BY ETERNAL LOVE
My Dear Precious Child,
John, the Beloved, as he is called, was so filled with the love shown to him by Jesus Christ that all of his writings are filled with teachings about My love. He emphasized in his first letter to the churches that if a believer has fear of punishment from Me in his mind, then he is not perfected in the revelation of My love because My love teaches him or her that his or her sins are forgiven by Me by the death of Jesus Christ, so there is no occasion or need for punishment. But, more important, when you are complete or perfect in your revelation of My character, you know intimately that I am Love and that I am not the one who punishes, anyway, but that the devil is the one who punishes. He tempts My children and then punishes them for doing his will if they succumb to the temptation. My judgment for the demons who tempt My children which causes them to inherit the devil's punishment is that those demons must be sent into the lake of fire in the abyss which I created in case My first children allowed the devil and his demons into the earth that I had created as a paradise and the judgment that I pronounced on those demons was eternal fire and gnashing of teeth. (Matthew 13:36-43)That judgment was never intended to be for any of My children that I created in My image.
So if a person has the erroneous belief that I will punish a person at the judgment of the demons, then that person is definitely not rooted in the truth of My love for humanity. If you will remember, Jesus Christ said that I loved the world so much that I sent My son into the world to save the world, not to condemn or destroy it. (John 3:16-17) If your belief is that I am waiting to punish you for sins, then My love is not perfected in you. (I John 4:19)
John, the Beloved, wrote in his first letter that if you fear punishment from Me, then My love is not fully developed and perfected in you. (I John 4:16-18) He wrote that the only way that you can love Him and everyone is because God loved you first. So if you love Me, then you must also love your brother. (I John 4:20-21) Because you love Me, then you must also love My Son, Jesus Christ the Messiah, and you must love everyone born of Me. (I John 5:1)
In his first letter John the Beloved wrote that the visible evidence that you love Me and My children is when you obey the commands of Jesus Christ under My new covenant of the Holy Spirit, keeping His ordinances, His precepts and His teachings. If you truly love Me, then you will not only obey My advice but you will never regard them as being burdensome or oppressive because whatever is born of Me overcomes the evil in the world; and your faith is what has victory over the demons in the world. My children who believe that Jesus is My Son is he who came to Me by His death through water and the baptism of the Holy Spirit; by the death of Jesus Christ; not by water alone, but by water and the Spirit. John wrote that it is the Holy Spirit who confirms your being My Child because He is the Truth. (I John 5:6-7) He wrote that there are three witnesses in heaven, Jesus, My Holy Spirit and Me and we are all One. We agree and there is unity in Us.
Because there is unity in Us, there must also be unity between My children who are established in My love. (I John 5:8)
Your Father of Eternal Love
