FIRM FOUNDATIONS

Dear One,

When you encourage another person you are building courage within the person's very inner core. You are enforcing his existence, his self esteem, his solid foundation.
Courage is a difficult thing to come by. It can only be resident in a person who thinks well of himself, who has a highly functioning ego, the confidence which allows him to know that he can make a courageous decision in the heat of indecision. Only a person who has been encouraged will ever be able to take a courageous step in the right direction.
Know that your words of encouragement to another person is paramount to his becoming successful in life. Building a secure future is what I call it.
Let every word you speak be encouraging to the hearer. You have guaranteed a secure future for him when you have contributed to his solid foundation.

Love, God

INJURIOUS HABITS

Dear One,

Breaking lifelong habits which curse you, hurt you and make you ill is hard to do without the power of My Spirit
Human nature has little power within itself to break the chains of injurious habitual behavior. Often the will is exhausted before the habit is broken.
Sometimes the support of friends, professional counselors and relations help but it is still difficult to break habits to which you are bound.
When the power of My Holy Spirit is resident within you, then My power gives you supernatural ability to resist the urges and temptations of bad habits. The spiritual principle that applies here is when you submit to Me and you have resisted the devil, then he will flee from you.
All of My children need My power in their lives to defeat the works of the devil. Tell them that truth.
The Holy Spirit is available to everyone who calls upon Him to empower them. He gives My children everything necessary for life and godliness.

Love, God

GAME PLAYING

Dear One,
In your world beating someone at a game is desirable.
In My world allowing others to win is desirable because then you are taking an equal role with the person rather than desiring to take a dominant role over the person.
When you allow another person to win, you have given him a win and that is why you are equal with him rather than anyone being a dominant force.
There is much that I want to teach you about the dynamics of My family and what I desire that My children adopt as My spiritual ways. The first is humility, refusing to take a superior role over anyone.
Humility is the beginning of godliness. Humility does not require your taking an inferior role, it is taking an equal role.
The devil is the only one who wants you to be dominant over others. Pride is the next thing that he sends to join in with domination. After pride enters, then there is a downhill slide because it becomes easy for the enemy to produce a fall in a person's life since pride and a haughty spirit always go before a fall.
If you will stop the enemy's plans to entice you to dominate over others at the first sign of temptation, then you won't have to fight similarly hard battles to get back to having love, joy and peace again.
Remember that pride starts you on a downward slide but humility raises you to an equal level with other people. That's why I said that if a man wants to become great in My kingdom he must become a servant, serving My fruit of love, joy, peace, mercy, goodness, kindness and faith and patience.
Remain at a level playing field with everyone and you will fulfill My spiritual character, thereby inheriting My kingdom.
Love, God

SUFFICIENT GRACE

Dear One,
Grace covers every instance when forgiveness is required.
Grace covers every instance when mercy is required.
My grace gives you the power and the ability to extend forgiveness and mercy to those people you believe are the least deserving of mercy and forgiveness.
Grace covers every instance where loving an unlovable person is necessary.
Grace gives you the ability to love the wretched, the unkempt, the unlovable and the pitiful ones.
I said that My grace is sufficient. My grace is a gift and it enables you to do what your human nature cannot do.
Grace sees the inner core of a person, not the outer crust.
Grace enabled Jesus to die for sinners while they were alive only to sin.
Grace is blind to sin.
Ask for My gift of grace to operate in you.
Every recipient of My grace and your grace is undeserving. If they were deserving, My grace and your grace would not be needed.
Sister Teresa asked for My grace to operate in her and she received it. She could look beyond the outer crust of every person and see the inner beauty with its need for love, for approval and for validation.
Ask Me for the grace that Jesus had when He looked beyond your sin and saw your need. Then My grace will be sufficient in you.
Love, God

STAND IN THE GAP

Dear One,

Yes, you can stand in the gap for someone in intercessory prayer, bringing My life and My love and My peace into the person's life, praying the anointing onto the person. You've done it before and you can do it over and over again.
It's still a simple matter, speaking the word and the person will be healed or transformed or comforted. Give My words a chance to do their work of changing matter that has been corrupted, either physical matter, mental matter or spiritual matter.
You have seen circumstances created by Me that were so supernatural that it took away your breath. To change the bad circumstance to good circumstances involved moving people around either against their will or in accordance to their will. That production of maneuvering the right people into the right circumstance so that prayers could be answered in the situation was in accordance to My will and it astounded you with the brilliance of the orchestration.
Praying without ceasing is the reason those things happen, bringing the abilities and working of My angelic hosts into the earth to do My will in answer to your prayers.
Continue to do the work of intercession. You have seen the good results so very many times and you continue to marvel at My abilities and My powers.
Please continue to cooperate with Me and watch the astounding results of your intercessory prayers by standing in the gap between heaven and earth for other people. It only involves opening your mouth and speaking My Holy Spirit led uttering.
Jesus said the greatest faith was demonstrated when the centurion told Him to speak the word and his servant would be healed. Nothing has changed in effective prayers since He spoke those words. You can speak the words of my Spirit and others will be healed of what plagues them.

Love, God

PROMISES ARE GUARANTEES

Dear One,

When you know Me, know My love, know My promises, know My words and know My power, then you are convinced beyond a doubt that I will do what you ask, just like Jesus said.
My promises and My words are My guarantee because I do not lie. I only speak truth and reality.
When I said that you will be whole, I meant that you will be healed from head to toe, from inside to outside, from anything that hampers you from enjoying the abundant life.
Don't forget that My words created the earth, My words created the firmaments and the heavens, My words parted the Red Sea, My words turned water into wine, My words heal the sick, My words cast out demons, My words raised Jesus from the dead, My words transform people.
Have no fear, My words will do what I send them to do.
My words are My love messages to you, setting you free from every encumbrance.
When your confidence is in Me, then I will move heaven and earth to do what you have asked Me to do.
"And He sent His word and healed them," is a promise. You must believe it.

Love, God
