BELIEVERS MATURE MUCH FASTER IN THE RIGHT ENVIRONMENT
For a plant to grow strong and begin to bare good fruit in it's season, it must have a healthy environment. The soil must have all the proper nutrients and just the right amount of moisture. The climate and exposure to light must be just right. With all of this, much fruit is borne.
When My seed is planted in the human spirit, eternal life begins. You cannot produce this life, this is My doing, however the environment for growth is your doing. Those born in 1st world countries grow much slower because their environment is not conducive to spiritual growth.
First of all the soil is far to rich, with filthy lucre, mammon and luxury. There is almost no trace of the vital nutrient of persecution. The air is polluted the pride of man's wisdom, greatly limiting the much needed nutrient, faith. The soil is is very dry because water of the pure word is quenched by reasoning of humanistic teachers.
The love temperature is far too cold, caused by each one seeking his own. Much of the seed planted is contaminated by the personal agendas of the sowers. Adequate light is blocked by fear of rejection, with most lights being hid under a bushel. The strength is very low for the lack of joy, stemming from a visibly poor display of good fruit. In spite of this very poor environment My spirit is still able to produce at least a 30 fold harvest.
The environment in most 3rd world countries is almost perfect. The soil has just the right amount of persecution, with just enough lack of material goods to experience miracles. An abundance of thankfulness, raises the joy level to unspeakable.
Large amounts of humility make the soil rich in faith, as the word is received with gladness. The love temperature is perfect as each one lays down his life for the other. The water of the word flows freely because man's wisdom is quickly disqualified, being unable to produce much needed miracles. The light shines bright because the fear of man is almost non existent. The rich crop of fruit results in a great harvest year after year, some 60 and 100 fold, thus causing 1st world believers to yearn and be jealous for the same harvest.
Be of good cheer 1st world believers, for I have heard your heart cry and your nation will soon have the perfect environment to bring forth a great harvest. You will soon have mature believers in abundance in every city and town.
Your soil will be purified with persecution, and the wisdom of man made foolishness, so that miracle working faith may grow. As luxuries disappear humility will be added, causing a thirst for the pure water of the word. False teachers will be thrown out and replaced by real shepherds. Persecution will cause the fear of man to disappear and bushels to be thrown off, revealing the brilliance of My light.
As I answer this prayer, there will be a two edge sword, one side causing a great falling away but the other bringing a great harvest. As the wheat and chaff are separated, many who were thought to be believers will fall away and many who were thought least in the kingdom will come forth as gold. 1st world nations are still part of the earth and I said, My glory shall cover the earth, which includes all nations.
Luke 8:11 (KJV)
Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God.
Luke 8:12-15 (AMP)
Those along the traveled road are the people who have heard; then the devil comes and carries away the message out of their hearts, that they may not believe (acknowledge Me as their Savior and devote themselves to Me) and be saved here and hereafter. [13] And those upon the rock are the people who, when they hear the Word, receive and welcome it with joy; but these have no root. They believe for a while, and in time of trial and temptation fall away (withdraw and stand aloof). [14] And as for what fell among the thorns, these are the people who hear, but as they go on their way they are choked and suffocated with the anxieties and cares and riches and pleasures of life, and their fruit does not ripen (come to maturity and perfection). [15] But as for that seed in the good soil, these are the people who, hearing the Word, hold it fast in a just (noble, virtuous) and worthy heart, and steadily bring forth fruit with patience.
Mark 4:19 (AMP)
Then the cares and anxieties of the world and distractions of the age, and the pleasure and delight and false glamour and deceitfulness of riches, and the craving and passionate desire for other things creep in and choke and suffocate the Word, and it becomes fruitless.
2 Timothy 4:3-4 (AMP)
For the time is coming when people will not tolerate (endure) sound and wholesome instruction, but, having ears itching for something pleasing and gratifying, they will gather to themselves one teacher after another to a considerable number, chosen to satisfy their own liking and to foster the errors they hold, [4] And will turn aside from hearing the truth and wander off into myths and man-made fictions.
Acts 8:3-8 (AMP)
But Saul shamefully treated and laid waste the church continuously with cruelty and violence; and entering house after house, he dragged out men and women and committed them to prison. [4] Now those who were scattered abroad went about through the land from place to place preaching the glad tidings, the Word the doctrine concerning the attainment through Christ of salvation in the kingdom of God. [5] Philip the deacon, not the apostle went down to the city of Samaria and proclaimed the Christ (the Messiah) to them the people; [6] And great crowds of people with one accord listened to and heeded what was said by Philip, as they heard him and watched the miracles and wonders which he kept performing from time to time. [7] For foul spirits came out of many who were possessed by them, screaming and shouting with a loud voice, and many who were suffering from palsy or were crippled were restored to health. [8] And there was great rejoicing in that city.
Acts 11:19-21 (AMP)
Meanwhile those who were scattered because of the persecution that arose in connection with Stephen had traveled as far away as Phoenicia and Cyprus and Antioch, without delivering the message concerning the attainment through Christ of salvation in the kingdom of God to anyone except Jews. [20] But there were some of them, men of Cyprus and Cyrene, who on returning to Antioch spoke to the Greeks also, proclaiming to them the good news (the Gospel) about the Lord Jesus. [21] And the presence of the Lord was with them with power, so that a great number learned to believe (to adhere to and trust in and rely on the Lord) and turned and surrendered themselves to Him.
Job 23:10 (KJV)
But he knoweth the way that I take: when he hath tried me, I shall come forth as gold.
James 1:3-4 (AMP)
Be assured and understand that the trial and proving of your faith bring out endurance and steadfastness and patience. [4] But let endurance and steadfastness and patience have full play and do a thorough work, so that you may be people perfectly and fully developed with no defects, lacking in nothing.
James 1:3-4 (AMP)
Be assured and understand that the trial and proving of your faith bring out endurance and steadfastness and patience. [4] But let endurance and steadfastness and patience have full play and do a thorough work, so that you may be people perfectly and fully developed with no defects, lacking in nothing.
Matthew 5:10-16 (KJV)
Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. [11] Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you , and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake. [12] Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you. [13] Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men. [14] Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. [15] Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house. [16] Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.
Romans 8:35-37 (AMP)
Who shall ever separate us from Christ''s love? Shall suffering and affliction and tribulation? Or calamity and distress? Or persecution or hunger or destitution or peril or sword? [36] Even as it is written, For Thy sake we are put to death all the day long; we are regarded and counted as sheep for the slaughter. [37] Yet amid all these things we are more than conquerors and gain a surpassing victory through Him Who loved us.
Hebrews 11:32-40 (AMP)
And what shall I say further? For time would fail me to tell of Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah, of David and Samuel and the prophets, [33] Who by the help of faith subdued kingdoms, administered justice, obtained promised blessings, closed the mouths of lions, [34] Extinguished the power of raging fire, escaped the devourings of the sword, out of frailty and weakness won strength and became stalwart, even mighty and resistless in battle, routing alien hosts. [35] Some women received again their dead by a resurrection. Others were tortured to death with clubs, refusing to accept release offered on the terms of denying their faith, so that they might be resurrected to a better life. I Kings 17:17-24; II Kings 4:25-37. [36] Others had to suffer the trial of mocking and scourging and even chains and imprisonment. [37] They were stoned to death; they were lured with tempting offers to renounce their faith; they were sawn asunder; they were slaughtered by the sword; while they were alive they had to go about wrapped in the skins of sheep and goats, utterly destitute, oppressed, cruelly treated-- [38] Men of whom the world was not worthy--roaming over the desolate places and the mountains, and living in caves and caverns and holes of the earth. [39] And all of these, though they won divine approval by means of their faith, did not receive the fulfillment of what was promised, [40] Because God had us in mind and had something better and greater in view for us, so that they these heroes and heroines of faith should not come to perfection apart from us before we could join them.

I NEVER CALLED YOU TO BE A CONDUIT OF MY LOVE!
I NEVER CALLED YOU TO BE A CONDUIT OF MY LOVE!
The teachings and even the songs that lead you to be a channel of My love can doom your soul. Even My anointing can deceive you. To be a channel or a pipeline is the most dangerous position in Christianity. Avoid this position at all cost.
A pipe or conduit never retains the substance it carries, it only distributes to others. So much attention is given to reaching the lost and spreading the good news, many have rushed out with knowledge, while totally neglecting experience and relationship.
It is so dangerous because no one will question your experience as long as the good news message is flowing. Salvation is not required to be purveyor of good news. My anointing can rest on the message, without ever touching the messenger.
This anointing deceives everyone, it is not intentional, but just a matter of fact. When the anointing is on the message only, it is impossible to separate the message from the messenger, therefore both the receiver and the messenger believe that messenger is a true believer, having an experience with Me.
This type of messenger, shocks true believers in private times, when he is not delivering a message. When there is no substance flowing through the pipeline they, are empty and shallow. In these after meeting get togethers, they reveal that they are empty and void of real live, having no experience themselves. Their language, gestures, and actions are that of an unbeliever. They rebuke and reject any who dare question their private behavior.
I have called you to be a vessel of My love, one who carries an abundance, out of a relationship with Me. Out of intimacy with Me flows the good news with power and anointing on both the message and messenger. Out of intimacy you not only give the message, you are the message. The same power and anointing is displayed in public and private. The same degree of anointing is present when ministering to one or one thousand.
This anointing requires daily refillings, only received at intimate meetings with Me. When you learn to carry My presence, very little effort will be exerted by you to see miracles happen. Your only effort will be that of hearing clearly and strict obedience to what your hear Me say. My presence will do the rest.
This is the only way true disciples are made. No one can follow an anointed message, only an anointed messenger. A message can never make a disciple, tv, radio, books, CDs, DVDs and YouTube, are only tools get the message out, but no matter how professional, they cannot make disciples.
Disciples come from a close personal relationship with true messengers, those that have learned to be carriers of My presence wherever they go. These true messengers will lead the student disciple into My presence and teach him the art of hosting My presence. The disciple in turn will go out and do the same.
Never be tempted to be a conduit, if you have not been intimate with Me, don't fake it for the sake of saving face. It is better to defer to another, than to enter into a life of deception and possibly loose your soul. Remember Balaam's ass delivered an anointed message.
Matthew 7:21-23 (AMP)
Not everyone who says to Me, Lord, Lord, will enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father Who is in heaven. [22] Many will say to Me on that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name and driven out demons in Your name and done many mighty works in Your name? [23] And then I will say to them openly (publicly), I never knew you; depart from Me, you who act wickedly disregarding My commands.
2 Corinthians 4:7 (AMP)
However, we possess this precious treasure the divine Light of the Gospel in frail, human vessels of earth, that the grandeur and exceeding greatness of the power may be shown to be from God and not from ourselves.
Ephesians 3:20 (AMP)
Now to Him Who, by (in consequence of) the action of His power that is at work within us, is able to carry out His purpose and do superabundantly, far over and above all that we dare ask or think infinitely beyond our highest prayers, desires, thoughts, hopes, or dreams--
1 Corinthians 4:14-16 (AMP)
I do not write this to shame you, but to warn and counsel you as my beloved children. [15] After all, though you should have ten thousand teachers (guides to direct you) in Christ, yet you do not have many fathers. For I became your father in Christ Jesus through the glad tidings (the Gospel). [16] So I urge and implore you, be imitators of me.
1 Corinthians 11:1 (AMP)
PATTERN YOURSELVES after me follow my example, as I imitate and follow Christ (the Messiah).
Philippians 1:21 (KJV)
For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.
Exodus 33:12-17 (KJV)
And Moses said unto the Lord , See, thou sayest unto me, Bring up this people: and thou hast not let me know whom thou wilt send with me. Yet thou hast said, I know thee by name, and thou hast also found grace in my sight. [13] Now therefore, I pray thee, if I have found grace in thy sight, shew me now thy way, that I may know thee, that I may find grace in thy sight: and consider that this nation is thy people. [14] And he said, My presence shall go with thee , and I will give thee rest. [15] And he said unto him, If thy presence go not with me , carry us not up hence. [16] For wherein shall it be known here that I and thy people have found grace in thy sight? is it not in that thou goest with us? so shall we be separated, I and thy people, from all the people that are upon the face of the earth. [17] And the Lord said unto Moses, I will do this thing also that thou hast spoken: for thou hast found grace in my sight, and I know thee by name.
Numbers 22:27-31 (KJV)
And when the ass saw the angel of the Lord , she fell down under Balaam: and Balaam's anger was kindled, and he smote the ass with a staff. [28] And the Lord opened the mouth of the ass, and she said unto Balaam, What have I done unto thee, that thou hast smitten me these three times? [29] And Balaam said unto the ass, Because thou hast mocked me: I would there were a sword in mine hand, for now would I kill thee. [30] And the ass said unto Balaam, Am not I thine ass, upon which thou hast ridden ever since I was thine unto this day? was I ever wont to do so unto thee? And he said, Nay. [31] Then the Lord opened the eyes of Balaam, and he saw the angel of the Lord standing in the way, and his sword drawn in his hand: and he bowed down his head, and fell flat on his face.

FAITH IS LIKE WOOD, NOT STONE!!!
FAITH IS LIKE WOOD, NOT STONE!!!
It is vital that you understand what faith is made of in order to protect it. I likened faith to a mustard seed because it is something that lives and grows in the human spirit. My kingdom, and the mustard seed growing into a tree, also have a likeness. I used the mustard seed in both comparisons because faith and My kingdom cannot be separated. My kingdom cannot operate without faith. Anyone who does not have faith cannot enter My kingdom.
Faith with the likeness of wood, can and will be chipped away just as a lumberjack fells a tree. The blows of the axe are, the hourly negative circumstances and messages that enter your life and mind as you go about your everyday life. Each blow chips away at your faith, even when you know the opposite to be the truth.
Each blow is followed by fiery darts, questions designed to inject doubt. ARE YOU SURE: you are good enough, God meant you, God spoke to you, God cares about this? ARE YOU SURE: the bible is not just a story book, that there ever was a Jesus, and a cross? MAYBE: your loosing your mind, your in a cult, you been lied to, your delusional, or escaping reality. ARE YOUR SURE THERE EVEN IS A GOD?
These are hell's fiery darts that follow each negative blow, chipping away at your faith in Me. No one is exempt from these blows or darts because the enemy never changes his tactics and always seeks to destroy everyone. A believer can only stand so many of these blows before he or she begins to show signs of weakness.
The first sign of weakness is flashes of fear, followed by waning joy, and then the beginnings of depression. All of this comes from walking in a darkened world. Be encouraged, you have not committed any sin to this point. From the beginning, I have made a way of escape from this constant attack against My people.
The feelings of depression are My escape route to a place where I will quickly replace all the chips and answer all the ARE YOU SUREs. As soon as you feel My depression call, get alone with Me, wait on Me and cry out to Me, and you will know that I am God. I will assure you that, I have never left you for one moment. You will know that I am well able to handle every negative blow that was struck. I will put gas in the tank, there will be groceries, there will be a place to stay.
A few minutes with Me will unknowingly turn to hours because of the peace, and joy you feel in My presence. You will not want to leave. You must always remember My escape route. The enemy stands at your depression door of escape, and offers booze, drugs, parties, sex, shopping, and even good things like sports, Christian fellowship, or even family time, anything to keep you away from My presence.
He knows a few minutes in My presence will destroy a whole days work of chipping away at your faith. The feelings of depression are your escape and the door to your prayer closet, run past all the enemies offers, directly into the closet where your faith will be completely renewed. As the day approaches this will happen several times a day.
Luke 17:6 (AMP)
And the Lord answered, If you had faith (trust and confidence in God) even so small like a grain of mustard seed, you could say to this mulberry tree, Be pulled up by the roots, and be planted in the sea, and it would obey you.
Matthew 13:31-32 (AMP)
Another story by way of comparison He set forth before them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is like a grain of mustard seed, which a man took and sowed in his field. [32] Of all the seeds it is the smallest, but when it has grown it is the largest of the garden herbs and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and find shelter in its branches.
Hebrews 11:6 (AMP)
But without faith it is impossible to please and be satisfactory to Him. For whoever would come near to God must necessarily believe that God exists and that He is the rewarder of those who earnestly and diligently seek Him out.
Ephesians 6:16 (KJV)
Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.
Luke 18:7-8 (AMP)
And will not our just God defend and protect and avenge His elect (His chosen ones), who cry to Him day and night? Will He defer them and delay help on their behalf? [8] I tell you, He will defend and protect and avenge them speedily. However, when the Son of Man comes, will He find persistence in faith on the earth?
Psalm 42:7-8 (KJV)
Deep calleth unto deep at the noise of thy waterspouts: all thy waves and thy billows are gone over me. [8] Yet the Lord will command his lovingkindness in the daytime, and in the night his song shall be with me, and my prayer unto the God of my life.
Psalm 42:5-6 (AMP)
Why are you cast down, O my inner self? And why should you moan over me and be disquieted within me? Hope in God and wait expectantly for Him, for I shall yet praise Him, my Help and my God. [6] O my God, my life is cast down upon me and I find the burden more than I can bear; therefore will I earnestly remember You from the land of the Jordan River and the summits of Mount Hermon, from the little mountain Mizar.
Matthew 6:6 (AMP)
But when you pray, go into your most private room, and, closing the door, pray to your Father, Who is in secret; and your Father, Who sees in secret, will reward you in the open.
Matthew 6:25-34 (KJV)
Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment? [26] Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they? [27] Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature? [28] And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin: [29] And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. [30] Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith? [31] Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed? [32] (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things. [33] But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. [34] Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.
It is vital that you understand what faith is made of in order to protect it. I likened faith to a mustard seed because it is something that lives and grows in the human spirit. My kingdom, and the mustard seed growing into a tree, also have a likeness. I used the mustard seed in both comparisons because faith and My kingdom cannot be separated. My kingdom cannot operate without faith. Anyone who does not have faith cannot enter My kingdom.

Another story by way of comparison He set forth before them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is like a grain of mustard seed, which a man took and sowed in his field. [32] Of all the seeds it is the smallest, but when it has grown it is the largest of the garden herbs and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and find shelter in its branches.
Hebrews 11:6 (AMP)
But without faith it is impossible to please and be satisfactory to Him. For whoever would come near to God must necessarily believe that God exists and that He is the rewarder of those who earnestly and diligently seek Him out.
Ephesians 6:16 (KJV)
Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.
Luke 18:7-8 (AMP)
And will not our just God defend and protect and avenge His elect (His chosen ones), who cry to Him day and night? Will He defer them and delay help on their behalf? [8] I tell you, He will defend and protect and avenge them speedily. However, when the Son of Man comes, will He find persistence in faith on the earth?
Psalm 42:7-8 (KJV)
Deep calleth unto deep at the noise of thy waterspouts: all thy waves and thy billows are gone over me. [8] Yet the Lord will command his lovingkindness in the daytime, and in the night his song shall be with me, and my prayer unto the God of my life.
Psalm 42:5-6 (AMP)
Why are you cast down, O my inner self? And why should you moan over me and be disquieted within me? Hope in God and wait expectantly for Him, for I shall yet praise Him, my Help and my God. [6] O my God, my life is cast down upon me and I find the burden more than I can bear; therefore will I earnestly remember You from the land of the Jordan River and the summits of Mount Hermon, from the little mountain Mizar.
Matthew 6:6 (AMP)
But when you pray, go into your most private room, and, closing the door, pray to your Father, Who is in secret; and your Father, Who sees in secret, will reward you in the open.
Matthew 6:25-34 (KJV)
Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment? [26] Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they? [27] Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature? [28] And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin: [29] And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. [30] Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith? [31] Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed? [32] (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things. [33] But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. [34] Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.

TIGHTEN THE BOND BETWEEN US
TIGHTEN THE BOND BETWEEN US
The time of trouble that you have spoken of so often in years past, has arrived. Knowing how to be abased will be the challenge. I have ways of caring for you, that you have not yet experienced. These ways will reveal who the body members really are. The times of laying down you life for your friend, will begin to separate the wheat and chaff.
This generation in wealthy nations, has never experienced hardship, they have foolishly lavished their material goods upon their own lust, in competition with their neighbor. Now to suddenly share with their neighbor will seem insane because of the " what about me" syndrome, they have practiced for a lifetime. My "all things common" abasement program, will be rejected by the fearful, thus revealing the body of Christ. This program only works when the participants walk in My love, which casts out all fear.
Fear will cause parents to turn against children and children against parents, but My love will cause people to share their food with strangers. Survival mentality brings out the worst in mankind. Total trust in Me and obedience to My every command, will reveal My power in the midst of troubled times. Tighten the bond we have and prepare, prepare, prepare to meet thy God, on a moment by moment basis, and I will sustain you.
Never make decisions with out meeting with Me first. There will be no time to recover from a wrong decision. Many scriptures, that My people in poor nations, understand and practice daily, will suddenly become a necessity of life, for My people living in nations of wealth. "Give us this day our daily bread", will be the common prayer of faith.
Trust and obey, and I will show you that My strong arm is the place of rest in the time of trouble. Get ready to share your goods for this is My end time plan. Those that have, will have none left over, and those that lack will not want for anything, for My followers have all things common. This is My kingdom being introduced on planet earth.
Acts 4:32 (AMP)
Now the company of believers was of one heart and soul, and not one of them claimed that anything which he possessed was exclusively his own, but everything they had was in common and for the use of all.

For the Lord thy God hath blessed thee in all the works of thy hand: he knoweth thy walking through this great wilderness: these forty years the Lord thy God hath been with thee; thou hast lacked nothing.
Luke 22:35 (KJV)
And he said unto them, When I sent you without purse, and scrip, and shoes, lacked ye any thing? And they said, Nothing.
2 Corinthians 8:14-15 (KJV)
But by an equality, that now at this time your abundance may be a supply for their want, that their abundance also may be a supply for your want: that there may be equality: [15] As it is written, He that had gathered much had nothing over; and he that had gathered little had no lack.
Matthew 24:6 (KJV)
And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.

And the love of the great body of people will grow cold because of the multiplied lawlessness and iniquity, [13] But he who endures to the end will be saved.
John 15:13 (KJV)
Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.
Luke 6:32 (KJV)
For if ye love them which love you, what thank have ye? for sinners also love those that love them.
1 John 3:17-19 (AMP)
But if anyone has this world''s goods (resources for sustaining life) and sees his brother and fellow believer in need, yet closes his heart of compassion against him, how can the love of God live and remain in him? [18] Little children, let us not love merely in theory or in speech but in deed and in truth (in practice and in sincerity). [19] By this we shall come to know (perceive, recognize, and understand) that we are of the Truth, and can reassure (quiet, conciliate, and pacify) our hearts in His presence,
John 13:35 (AMP)
By this shall all men know that you are My disciples, if you love one another if you keep on showing love among yourselves.

WHERE ARE YOU TAKING US?
WHERE ARE YOU TAKING US?
There are many who claim to be spiritual leaders, but their followers are becoming disillusioned and wandering off, because this question is not being answered. They are discovering their own tracks, and exclaiming," it seems like we are going in circles". Many are doing just that. Over and over, leaving their home, going to a meeting and returning home, leaving home going to a meeting and returning home again. Week in and week out, month in and month out, year in and year out, leaving their home, going to a meeting and returning home.
Repeating this two or three times a week for 5 years causes people to question " where are you taking us". My leaders who have heard from Me and who follow My direction are leading people away from themselves and into Me and My plan. Every follower should be led to a place of ministry outside the local house of worship, where they can upset their community, and quickly become leaders.
If after 5 years of leaving your home, going to a meeting and returning home, you still need the basics, you are not being taught. My word is quick and powerful, it does not take 5 years to produce a mature believer. My disciples had no bibles, were unlearned, did not have the Holy Spirit until I left and they upset the world in their 4th year.
I have placed in every believer gifts, to build the body. The body can only be built as unbelievers are added to it daily. When the natural body grows it gets larger and larger. When the body of Christ grows it gets larger and larger, but not in a building, in a city. My leaders, beget leaders who beget leaders. A leader who only begets followers in ineffective in the kingdom and will always have trouble with disillusioned and murmuring sheep.
When a follower sees his tracks several times he will question the leaders ability lead and soon I will guide him to another leader, one who begets leaders. Every follower is destined to become a leader or they are not following Me.
People follow light, My followers have light and therefore they lead. Followers are those who newly received the light or those who will receive My light. Leaders train followers to be skillful with the light, thus begetting leaders. Leading them out into the community and releasing them to lead with their gifts and My guidance. This is how My glory will fill the whole earth.
Hebrews 6:1-3 (KJV)
Therefore leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go on unto perfection; not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God, [2] Of the doctrine of baptisms, and of laying on of hands, and of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment. [3] And this will we do, if God permit.
Hebrews 5:12 (KJV)
For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need that one teach you again which be the first principles of the oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat.
Matthew 5:14-16 (KJV)
Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. [15] Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house. [16] Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.
2 Timothy 2:2 (AMP)
And the instructions which you have heard from me along with many witnesses, transmit and entrust as a deposit to reliable and faithful men who will be competent and qualified to teach others also.
Matthew 28:19 (AMP)
Go then and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them into the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,
Ezekiel 34:10-11 (KJV)
Thus saith the Lord God ; Behold, I am against the shepherds; and I will require my flock at their hand, and cause them to cease from feeding the flock; neither shall the shepherds feed themselves any more; for I will deliver my flock from their mouth, that they may not be meat for them. [11] For thus saith the Lord God ; Behold, I, even I, will both search my sheep, and seek them out.

WHEN YOU ARE UNDER ORDERS WATCH OUT FOR THE WEAPON OF FEELINGS
WHEN YOU ARE UNDER ORDERS WATCH OUT FOR THE WEAPON OF FEELINGS
Are you aware that you are exposed to a form of witchcraft everyday. Are you also aware that you may be practicing a form of witchcraft on a regular basis. You may not have noticed the practice because it started when you were 3 years old. Your mother first mentioned it, when speaking about you, saying,"now look what you have done, you have hurt his feelings".
From that day on you realized that by showing a form of hurt feelings you could control people and get your way. During childhood it's a toy, during adolescence it's a tool, but in adulthood it's a weapon.
The weapon of hurt feelings comes in many styles. Some change it to temper tantrums, others into sobbing, others into sensuality, still others into silence, short curt words or sarcasm. The final and severe stage is physical abuse or the threat thereof.
As a soldier in My army you are under My command to carry out the great commission of spreading the good news. In order to do this you must stay very sensitive to My voice. This sensitivity is also a weak spot and very vulnerable to attack. The enemy knows the weapon of hurt feelings is very effective on you because of this sensitivity.
He will send people on a regular basis that carry one or more of these weapons. When the weapon is fired you will hear it. It has a whining sound, "you hurt my feelings", or a deep sound, "don't make me mad". When the silence weapon is fired it may take a few seconds to realize, but it's deafening silence hits very hard. You will know you've been hit when you find yourself making all kinds of concessions to restore sound.
Most people have no idea that they are practicing witchcraft and being used by the enemy to control you and distract you from what I have commissioned you to do. You must train yourself to recognize these very effective weapons and expose them openly. Tell the person, their weapon is misfiring, and to put it away.
By allowing My Holy Spirit to guide you with My love, you can disarm them and break the spirit of control they have used since childhood. Many will feel helpless without their weapon and will have a hard time giving it up. You must gently but firmly disarm them over and over, while at the same time show them My weapons, which are not carnal. Spend time showing them how to use each weapon in My arsenal.
As a soldier of the cross you can never afford to be manipulated into disobedience. My soldiers are wise as serpents and harmless as doves. Use wisdom, and never again allow yourself to be hit with this weapon and never, never be tempted to pick it up and use it. It must be destroyed on contact. Your disobedience is the enemies victory.
Matthew 6:24-25 (KJV)
No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon. [25] Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment?
2 Corinthians 10:3-4 (KJV)
For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh: [4] (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;)
Luke 12:4-5 (AMP)
I tell you, My friends, do not dread and be afraid of those who kill the body and after that have nothing more that they can do. [5] But I will warn you whom you should fear: fear Him Who, after killing, has power to hurl into hell (Gehenna); yes, I say to you, fear Him!
2 Timothy 2:3-4 (AMP)
Take with me your share of the hardships and suffering which you are called to endure as a good (first-class) soldier of Christ Jesus. [4] No soldier when in service gets entangled in the enterprises of civilian life; his aim is to satisfy and please the one who enlisted him.
2 Corinthians 11:3-4 (AMP)
But now I am fearful, lest that even as the serpent beguiled Eve by his cunning, so your minds may be corrupted and seduced from wholehearted and sincere and pure devotion to Christ. [4] For you seem readily to endure it if a man comes and preaches another Jesus than the One we preached, or if you receive a different spirit from the Spirit you once received or a different gospel from the one you then received and welcomed; you tolerate all that well enough!
Galatians 5:6-10 (KJV)
For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision; but faith which worketh by love. [7] Ye did run well; who did hinder you that ye should not obey the truth? [8] This persuasion cometh not of him that calleth you. [9] A little leaven leaveneth the whole lump. [10] I have confidence in you through the Lord, that ye will be none otherwise minded: but he that troubleth you shall bear his judgment, whosoever he be.
Proverbs 6:25-28 (AMP)
Lust not after her beauty in your heart, neither let her capture you with her eyelids. [26] For on account of a harlot a man is brought to a piece of bread, and the adulteress stalks and snares as with a hook the precious life of a man. [27] Can a man take fire in his bosom and his clothes not be burned? [28] Can one go upon hot coals and his feet not be burned?
Judges 14:16-17 (KJV)
And Samson's wife wept before him, and said, Thou dost but hate me, and lovest me not: thou hast put forth a riddle unto the children of my people, and hast not told it me. And he said unto her, Behold, I have not told it my father nor my mother, and shall I tell it thee? [17] And she wept before him the seven days, while their feast lasted: and it came to pass on the seventh day, that he told her, because she lay sore upon him: and she told the riddle to the children of her people.
1 Samuel 15:23-26 (KJV)
For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. Because thou hast rejected the word of the Lord , he hath also rejected thee from being king. [24] And Saul said unto Samuel, I have sinned: for I have transgressed the commandment of the Lord , and thy words: because I feared the people, and obeyed their voice. [25] Now therefore, I pray thee, pardon my sin, and turn again with me, that I may worship the Lord . [26] And Samuel said unto Saul, I will not return with thee: for thou hast rejected the word of the Lord , and the Lord hath rejected thee from being king over Israel.
Luke 9:62 (KJV)
And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.

For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. Because thou hast rejected the word of the Lord , he hath also rejected thee from being king. [24] And Saul said unto Samuel, I have sinned: for I have transgressed the commandment of the Lord , and thy words: because I feared the people, and obeyed their voice. [25] Now therefore, I pray thee, pardon my sin, and turn again with me, that I may worship the Lord . [26] And Samuel said unto Saul, I will not return with thee: for thou hast rejected the word of the Lord , and the Lord hath rejected thee from being king over Israel.
Luke 9:62 (KJV)
And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.

SAYING YES TO A GOOD THING MAY BE WRONG
SAYING YES TO A GOOD THING MAY BE WRONG!
I have given you a free will, to choose according to your desires or My plan, or both. Yes both, because there are many good things you have the option of doing that are not sin but are not in My plan for you. However you are still in your natural body and constricted by time. The pressure of the lack of time to squeeze all the good things into your day can turn enjoyment of good things into misery.
If the enemy can not get you to do the wrong thing, he will try to get you to do the right thing wrong. His sole purpose is to separate you and Me. If he can succeed by squeezing me out with good things, he can weaken you and possibly kill you, otherwise he has no power over you and you can destroy his works.
My plan for you is always filled with My peace and My joy. You will always end your day satisfied with My smile and My rest for your soul. Do not let well meaning people pressure you into their plans and ideas. They may be doing My will for them and just want you to be part of it, or it may look so exciting that you just want to be part of what I am doing in their lives. You may, if you wish, but there will be consequences that are unpleasant, due to your time limitation.
When I say your steps are ordered, I mean exactly that. If I know every hair on your head, then a single step for your whole body is a big, big thing. Stand on the edge of a 100 ft cliff and ask if a wrong step is a big deal or not. You have no idea how many cliffs you are on each day, but I do.
I save your life many times a day. You cannot see the enemy because he is a spirit and that is to your disadvantage, in the a natural world. I see in the spirit and stop his plan to kill you, many times a day, even when you are wandering from My perfect plan for you.
Every time some one invites you to be part of their plan and you feel pressured, or lack peace, STOP, ignore their feelings, ask Me, " is this a good thing or a God thing", I will answer with My lack of peace or peace. Peace is a go, lack of peace is a no go. I can make all your days filled with goodness and mercy, and you will be so glad you said no.
Psalm 37:23-24 (KJV)
The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord : and he delighteth in his way. [24] Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: for the Lord upholdeth him with his hand.
James 4:13-15 (AMP)
Come now, you who say, Today or tomorrow we will go into such and such a city and spend a year there and carry on our business and make money. [14] Yet you do not know the least thing about what may happen tomorrow. What is the nature of your life? You are really but a wisp of vapor (a puff of smoke, a mist) that is visible for a little while and then disappears into thin air. [15] You ought instead to say, If the Lord is willing, we shall live and we shall do this or that thing.
Romans 8:14 (KJV)
For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.
Proverbs 3:6 (AMP)
In all your ways know, recognize, and acknowledge Him, and He will direct and make straight and plain your paths.

KINGDOM EMT'S AND HOSPITAL STAFF
KINGDOM EMT'S AND HOSPITAL STAFF
What would you think of an EMT arriving at an accident scene, jumping out of the ambulance and grabbing a victim by the ankles and dragging him back to the ambulance. Should the EMT be promoted or arrested. Arrested of course for his heartless, cold, indifference and complete disregard for the welfare and survival of the victim.
Yet this is how many of the victims of life's tragedies are treated by the modern, so called, church. Their workers go out to rescue dying victims and beat them with hard words, drag them through painful rules and regulations, slap them with condemnation, kick them with guilt and then tell them they need to empty their wallets in gratitude, for their rescue. Then they have the nerve to say, they do this in My name. These spiritual EMTs do not represent Me or My kingdom.
Every injured victim needs to be handled gently, taking extreme care to prevent further damage. Some have very deep bruises even to the bone. Some have multiple fractures, many have lacerations and old scars from childhood injuries. Many can no longer walk by themselves, some are bleeding to death, some have eye damage and cannot see where they are going. Some have punctured ear drums, causing loss of hearing
Trauma victims say crazy things, and many times make no sense at all. Some are unconscious or in a coma. I am the great physician and I am My own X-ray machine. I know the victims identity, and their complete spiritual and physical medical history. I know the cause of every single injury.
My EMTs will have My heart for the victims. They are fully equipped with spiritual bandages, slings, casts, pain killers, smelling salts, and stretchers. However they always stay in contact with Me because I am the healer and only I know exactly how to administer the medical attention needed.
My pain killer called, "hug" works wonders. Some of the victims are so scabbed over, that only the salve and oil of hugs will soften the scab so they can begin to heal. The lack of any physical affection or the wrong physical affection, has caused a hard shell to grow over the victims soul. Before any truth can or light can penetrate, the scab like shell must be softened. Unconditional hugging salve, may need to be applied for a year before light begins to penetrate.
Some have been lied to so many times they have bruises all over their body. To expect the pill of truth to work the first time is foolish. Truth must be administered in loving actions that provide imeadiate relief. This must be done consistantly over a period of time. You will see rapid healing begin to take place when this pill is administered properly.
Never rush a patient out of bed to quickly. Resist the temptation to display My handiwork before the healing process is completed. Note this as a cardinal rule: Strong doses of patience must be administered, by all medical staff, at all times, throughout the recovery process.
Some patients may seem to be strong, but My X-rays show a hidden cancer that must be surgically removed by My Spirit. This is a very delicate operation and must be handled by My personally trained surgons, those who are very sensitive and very obedient to My Spirits direction.
All My EMTs and medical staff from the surgeon to the custodian, have only one thing in mind, complete healing and restoration of every victim and patient. They are not building a church, or a following for themselves. They know I take care of their needs so they are not trying to build a financial base for themselves. They are My kingdom EMTs and medical staff working with Me to rescue the bleeding and dying.
Luke 10:33-35 (KJV)
But a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, came where he was: and when he saw him, he had compassion on him , [34] And went to him , and bound up his wounds, pouring in oil and wine, and set him on his own beast, and brought him to an inn, and took care of him. [35] And on the morrow when he departed, he took out two pence, and gave them to the host, and said unto him, Take care of him; and whatsoever thou spendest more, when I come again, I will repay thee.
Luke 4:18-19 (KJV)
The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised, [19] To preach the acceptable year of the Lord.
Isaiah 42:3,5-6 (KJV)
A bruised reed shall he not break, and the smoking flax shall he not quench: he shall bring forth judgment unto truth. [5] Thus saith God the Lord , he that created the heavens, and stretched them out; he that spread forth the earth, and that which cometh out of it; he that giveth breath unto the people upon it, and spirit to them that walk therein: [6] I the Lord have called thee in righteousness, and will hold thine hand, and will keep thee, and give thee for a covenant of the people, for a light of the Gentiles;
1 Corinthians 13:4 (AMP)
Love endures long and is patient and kind; love never is envious nor boils over with jealousy, is not boastful or vainglorious, does not display itself haughtily.
Luke 14:21 (KJV)
So that servant came, and shewed his lord these things. Then the master of the house being angry said to his servant, Go out quickly into the streets and lanes of the city, and bring in hither the poor, and the maimed, and the halt, and the blind.
Matthew 18:6 (AMP)
But whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in and acknowledge and cleave to Me to stumble and sin that is, who entices him or hinders him in right conduct or thought, it would be better (more expedient and profitable or advantageous) for him to have a great millstone fastened around his neck and to be sunk in the depth of the sea.
Luke 15:20 (AMP)
So he got up and came to his own father. But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and was moved with pity and tenderness for him; and he ran and embraced him and kissed him fervently.
Matthew 7:9-12 (KJV)
Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone? [10] Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent? [11] If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him? [12] Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets.

THE FALSE LOVE OF A MARKSMEN
THE FALSE LOVE OF A MARKSMEN
A marksman has great ability to coordinate distance, time, speed, and link it with good eyesight, to produce deadly accuracy. This is considered a honor in the military and among sportsmen. But I do not consider it a usable gift in My kingdom.
Spiritual marksmanship has long been encouraged in many religious circles. Looking for people to persuade and convert with just the right ammunition. The higher the profile the person has, the bigger the trophy. If you hit the bullseye with a senator, mayor or a congressman, that is something to hang on the religious wall.
When I called you to be a fisher of men, I meant, net fishing, not pole fishing. Net fishing does not discriminate one from the other. Not by color, size or type, they are all in the same net, the good, the bad, and the ugly.
My love is not to be loaded into a spiritual gun and fired at those you deem worthwhile as a trophy. As a marksmen, using this method of soul winning, if someone (the target) rejects (Me) the Jesus that is being presented, the marksmen will in turn reject the target (person) being witnessed to. They are listed as a waste of time, because there will be no trophy to hang.
You are not called to save souls, and you were never called to draw people, you are called only to love people as I love them. I loved and shared with both thieves on the crosses next to Me. My love for them was equal. I loved the soldier that stabbed Me as much as I did My disciples.
Unconditional love means there are no conditions to receiving My love. The prostitute and the mayor, the murderer and the lawyer, if they are sitting on death row or in the white house, everybody receives the same love and mercy.
The world has not been evangelized because of the marksmen mentality. If you will love those that hate Me, you will truly be My witnesses in the earth. If I loved with a marksmen kind of love, you would not be saved today. I saved you because I loved you, not for a trophy. I gave My life because I loved the world, not because I wanted a bunch of trophies.
Religious love is man's love and is very conditional, it reserves seats for the lovely and sends the unlovely to the back. This is not My love anyone who presents it as My love, is a stumbling block and will be severely judged.
I am love, and when you stay in My presence you will become a vessel of My love. You will see everyone through My eyes of love, rejecting no one. When you start seeing targets, repent, for you are working with the enemy, using My name.
Luke 19:10 (KJV)
For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.
Acts 20:33-35 (KJV)
I have coveted no man's silver, or gold, or apparel. [34] Yea, ye yourselves know, that these hands have ministered unto my necessities, and to them that were with me. [35] I have shewed you all things, how that so labouring ye ought to support the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he said, It is more blessed to give than to receive.
Romans 2:11 (KJV)
For there is no respect of persons with God.
Proverbs 28:21 (AMP)
To have respect of persons and to show partiality is not good, neither is it good that man should transgress for a piece of bread.
Romans 5:5-8 (KJV)
And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us. [6] For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. [7] For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die. [8] But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
Matthew 21:27-31 (AMP)
So they answered Jesus, We do not know. And He said to them, Neither will I tell you by what power of authority I do these things. [28] What do you think? There was a man who had two sons. He came to the first and said, Son, go and work today in the vineyard. [29] And he answered, I will not; but afterward he changed his mind and went. [30] Then the man came to the second and said the same thing. And he replied, I will go, sir; but he did not go. [31] Which of the two did the will of the father? They replied, The first one. Jesus said to them, Truly I tell you, the tax collectors and the harlots will get into the kingdom of heaven before you.
Luke 14:8-14 (KJV)
When thou art bidden of any man to a wedding, sit not down in the highest room; lest a more honourable man than thou be bidden of him; [9] And he that bade thee and him come and say to thee, Give this man place; and thou begin with shame to take the lowest room. [10] But when thou art bidden, go and sit down in the lowest room; that when he that bade thee cometh, he may say unto thee, Friend, go up higher: then shalt thou have worship in the presence of them that sit at meat with thee. [11] For whosoever exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted. [12] Then said he also to him that bade him, When thou makest a dinner or a supper, call not thy friends, nor thy brethren, neither thy kinsmen, nor thy rich neighbours; lest they also bid thee again, and a recompence be made thee. [13] But when thou makest a feast, call the poor, the maimed, the lame, the blind: [14] And thou shalt be blessed; for they cannot recompense thee: for thou shalt be recompensed at the resurrection of the just.

ARE YOU TIGHTER THAN A BOW STRING
ARE YOU TIGHTER THAN A BOW STRING
I want you to understand your nervous system and how it is tied directly to your soul and spirit. From the moment you are born again your soul and spirit are at odds with each other. Your spirit wants to do things My way and your soul wants to continue business as usual, your way.
This tension between soul and spirit gets tighter the longer your soul continues to take charge. In other words, as long as you have it your way, tension is going to build. Any time you decide to give up on an issue, the tension eases. This tightening and loosening can go on for years if you are a strong willed person.
However there are some that have a very strong will, backed by a humanistic education, that has made their soul very set in it's way. The education has built a very strong defense mechanism around the soul. But I am God and I do not give up on what is Mine. The tension will build until it is tighter than a bow string.
Those in this state become so torn between what they want in their soul and what they know in their spirit, they have a hard time making any decisions. They take weeks to make decisions most people can make in hours. The core reason is they have not made a decision on who will control their life and destiny. When the tension develops into an all out war, the person can no longer cover up their lack of decisiveness, by saying, they just want to make wise decisions.
When the bow string is about to snap, they become a wretched person to be around. What they know, is putting so much pressure on what they do, that everything they do, brings emotional pain and discomfort. Now they are at the point where they either give in and say, "you win Lord", or the string snaps and they tell Me to get out and leave them alone forever, which I will reluctantly do.
Examine your stress level right now. The tension you feel is directly related to your refusal to do something My way. I will not negotiate or compromise, it must be My way, or war will break out inside you, it's your choice, but remember I don't quit. You must either surrender or ask Me to leave. My love for you is unconditional and My mercy endures forever, but you must do things My way, because your way will destroy you.
Romans 7:18-24 (KJV)
For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not. [19] For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do. [20] Now if I do that I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me. [21] I find then a law, that, when I would do good, evil is present with me. [22] For I delight in the law of God after the inward man: [23] But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members. [24] O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death?
James 1:5-8 (AMP)
If any of you is deficient in wisdom, let him ask of the giving God Who gives to everyone liberally and ungrudgingly, without reproaching or faultfinding, and it will be given him. [6] Only it must be in faith that he asks with no wavering (no hesitating, no doubting). For the one who wavers (hesitates, doubts) is like the billowing surge out at sea that is blown hither and thither and tossed by the wind. [7] For truly, let not such a person imagine that he will receive anything he asks for from the Lord, [8] For being as he is a man of two minds (hesitating, dubious, irresolute), he is unstable and unreliable and uncertain about everything he thinks, feels, decides.
Matthew 6:24 (AMP)
No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will stand by and be devoted to the one and despise and be against the other. You cannot serve God and mammon (deceitful riches, money, possessions, or whatever is trusted in).
1 Kings 18:21 (AMP)
Elijah came near to all the people and said, How long will you halt and limp between two opinions? If the Lord is God, follow Him! But if Baal, then follow him. And the people did not answer him a word.
Deuteronomy 30:19 (KJV)
I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live:
Revelation 3:14-18 (KJV)
And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God; [15] I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot. [16] So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth. [17] Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked: [18] I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see.
I want you to understand your nervous system and how it is tied directly to your soul and spirit. From the moment you are born again your soul and spirit are at odds with each other. Your spirit wants to do things My way and your soul wants to continue business as usual, your way.
This tension between soul and spirit gets tighter the longer your soul continues to take charge. In other words, as long as you have it your way, tension is going to build. Any time you decide to give up on an issue, the tension eases. This tightening and loosening can go on for years if you are a strong willed person.
However there are some that have a very strong will, backed by a humanistic education, that has made their soul very set in it's way. The education has built a very strong defense mechanism around the soul. But I am God and I do not give up on what is Mine. The tension will build until it is tighter than a bow string.
Those in this state become so torn between what they want in their soul and what they know in their spirit, they have a hard time making any decisions. They take weeks to make decisions most people can make in hours. The core reason is they have not made a decision on who will control their life and destiny. When the tension develops into an all out war, the person can no longer cover up their lack of decisiveness, by saying, they just want to make wise decisions.

IT WENT BY SO FAST
IT WENT BY SO FAST
Many times you have said this, upon returning from an enjoyable vacation or trip. You begin to think if there was anything you would do differently next time, to make it even better. It went by so fast, it seems like a dream.
Can you recall a dream that was so real that you thought you really lived it. It seemed more real than an actual life experience. The beautiful dreams, let you down when you wake. The nightmares ended in great relief when you awoke.
This is all a foreshadow of a spiritual experience in your future. Upon your arrival here in heaven, you will experience a dimensional depth you have never experienced before. You will have a appreciation and an awareness for everything around you. You will feel like you have always been here, at the same time realizing, you have just arrived from somewhere. You will think, "was where I came from just a dream, it went by so fast".
The fact is you just stepped from time to eternity. Time is swallowed up by eternity. Your time was less than 120 years, which is less than a flash in eternity. You will be thrilled to discover that all the things you did for others, during that flash of time, have been and will be, multiplying forever. Then you will be sad to discover that what ever you did for yourself while neglecting others, greatly reduces the quality of your eternal life. You traded your eternal reward for a temporary one. Like selling your birthright, for a meal.
Every new arrival has the expression, "did I just wake up from a dream". Reality is not real, until you have entered spiritual reality. Temporary is not real, permanent is real. Anything that can be destroyed, will one day cease to be real, because it has been consumed. I see the end from the beginning, therefore I see all that you call real as nonexistent. I see it destroyed and time itself, as already ended.
It may still exist as a temporary reality, when you leave it, but you will never again touch it, sit in it, walk on it, swim in it, spend it, save it, count it, or even desire it. To you it no longer exists. It was temporary, and you have just entered the permanent. It went by so fast, I must have been dreaming, will be your expression.
Then the next reality will hit you, just like on earth. You will realize, It really wasn't a dream, then you will think to yourself, what will I do differently, but there will be no next time. Unlike on earth, up here, nothing can be changed, because it's permanent.
You will remorse at how simple it would have been to give every thing away to the widows and orphans. How stupid it was to spend hours watching fools do foolish things on a tv screen. What a waste of that flash of time, to work, and save for years, for a house that's not real, that car, I can't recall the make of it, the parties, the cruises, none of which mean anything but loss now.
I warn you now, while time still exists, that everything you build for yourself on this earth, you will regret, when you see what it cost you. Wake up to reality now, give everything to me, fall in love with Me all over again. Live like you just stepped out of time into eternity. You do not know, you may be here in a few minutes.
Matthew 6:19-21 (KJV)
Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: [20] But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: [21] For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
Luke 16:25 (KJV)
But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented.
Luke 12:47-48 (KJV)
And that servant, which knew his lord's will, and prepared not himself , neither did according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes . [48] But he that knew not, and did commit things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes . For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required: and to whom men have committed much, of him they will ask the more.
Matthew 6:1-2 (KJV)
Take heed that ye do not your alms before men, to be seen of them: otherwise ye have no reward of your Father which is in heaven. [2] Therefore when thou doest thine alms, do not sound a trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.
1 Corinthians 3:10-15 (KJV)
According to the grace of God which is given unto me, as a wise masterbuilder, I have laid the foundation, and another buildeth thereon. But let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon. [11] For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ. [12] Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble; [13] Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is. [14] If any man's work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward. [15] If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire.

YOU MUST BE OUT OF YOUR MIND, TO BE MY FRIEND
YOU MUST BE OUT OF YOUR MIND, TO BE MY FRIEND
Did you ever wonder why I created you, and the rest of the human race. I had millions of other created beings to command and direct, to carry out My wishes, so why you?
It was first, My idea and there was no disagreement, when I said, " let us make man in our image".
I wanted more than servants, I did not want robots, I wanted a being that could do the things I do. I wanted beings that could create, could love, could choose, beings that could think, communicate, laugh, move about freely, and most of all be My friend. These beings had to have the power of choice.
My foreknowledge argued against this, seeing the wrong choice humans would make. But even My foreknowledge could not dissuade Me from moving ahead with My plan. With My ability to see the end from the beginning, I could see you choosing to be My friend, if I made a way for you.
Before I even created you, My foreknowledge told Me I must have a way to rescue you, from yourself. It was already agreed that My son would die to make this possible. The cost was already counted, before I started creating. This should give some indication how valuable your friendship is to Me.
There still remains one big challenge to the whole friendship plan, and that being, the carnal nature you acquired because, your father Adam chose to disobey. His fallen nature was passed on to all his descendants, including you. Part of this fallen nature is a carnal mind, which does not want to be My friend, it in fact, hates Me. This is very big challenge for you because, it means, your power of choice must override your carnal mind. You must to choose to exchange your mind, for a new one, just like My son's.
You must be out of your mind and into His in order to be My friend, because your mind cannot even comprehend the spiritual things, I talk about. Now here is the rest of the challenge, as soon as you make the decision to move out of your mind and into Mine, hundreds of humans will begin to laugh at you and say, "you are out of your mind". If they knew this was a deliberate choice on your part, they would call you doubly insane.
Because of this, My friends are few, but I knew this would be the case, when I chose to create humans. The few friends that I have, know, that I will do anything for them. They can ask for anything and I will give it to them. This offer is exclusive, only to My friends. I say, "no", to everyone else, because they will selfishly consume it on themselves.
I am constantly inviting humans to be My friend and many more come from the poor and oppressed nations, and very few from the wealthy. You were created to be My friend and nothing will ever satisfy your human heart, like My friendship. I will be your friend if, you will choose, to go out of your carnal mind and believe everything I say!
Genesis 1:26 (AMP)

THE KINGDOM CODE BLUE
THE KINGDOM CODE BLUE
Every day, people in My kingdom need a personal touch from another believer. My Holy Spirit operates a spiritual intercom system, designed for those who have spiritual ears to hear. My spirit whispers the names of those needing attention, over the intercom, in order for the hearer to rush to aid the person needing a personal touch.
Through this process, I am accomplishing several things at one time. I am building a body, I am building an army, I am training the insensitive, and I am strengthening the weak. Just as in the natural body, there are many members, and each one has a different function. When the smallest member is only slightly injured, the body shows signs of a disability. When all members function at 100% the whole body can function at it's maximum.
Up to this time, you have not seen the body of Christ, only cells that have taken shape. I am going to begin forming My body in the earth, so that the world will see my glory, when it operates at maximum strength. My body looks nothing like what you have been calling the body of Christ or the church. When My body is fully matured in the earth every single member will know and obey My voice. The truth is, very few members now know My voice, much less obey it.
When I call a code blue, I simply bring a name to you, out of the blue, a name you were not thinking of. It will cross your mind 2 or 3 times in a single hour or a single day depending on the urgency of need. When a member is in critical need, I will repeatedly speak their name so loud, in your spirit, that your mind will not be able to function until you obey.
When you are too busy or preoccupied to take the code blue serious, other members will be called on until the code is answered. Because you ignored the code blue, the member in need will suffer longer, sometimes causing long term effects. You however, will be schooled in the same way, when a code blue for you is given and I cause a delay, thus making you much more sensitive, and quick to obey the next time. Remember, I am not interested in your comfort, only your perfection, through obedience.
The weak are healed and strengthened when every code blue is quickly responded to. The cells soon become strong and can then be joined to other cells, eventually forming a body. When the body learns to fully and quickly respond to all code blues, it will function at 100% as a healthy body or church.
It will then be ready to be joined to other bodies forming My army. This is the true army of the Lord. An army that has been trained to response to My voice, down to the very last cell member, such as many of you are.
1 Corinthians 12:12,14,24-27 (AMP)
For just as the body is a unity and yet has many parts, and all the parts, though many, form only one body, so it is with Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One). [14] For the body does not consist of one limb or organ but of many. [24] Which our more presentable parts do not require. But God has so adjusted (mingled, harmonized, and subtly proportioned the parts of) the whole body, giving the greater honor and richer endowment to the inferior parts which lack apparent importance, [25] So that there should be no division or discord or lack of adaptation of the parts of the body to each other, but the members all alike should have a mutual interest in and care for one another. [26] And if one member suffers, all the parts share the suffering; if one member is honored, all the members share in the enjoyment of it. [27] Now you collectively are Christ''s body and individually you are members of it, each part severally and distinct each with his own place and function.
Romans 12:4-5 (KJV)
For as we have many members in one body, and all members have not the same office: [5] So we, being many, are one body in Christ, and every one members one of another.
1 John 3:17-18 (AMP)
But if anyone has this world''s goods (resources for sustaining life) and sees his brother and fellow believer in need, yet closes his heart of compassion against him, how can the love of God live and remain in him? [18] Little children, let us not love merely in theory or in speech but in deed and in truth (in practice and in sincerity).
Matthew 7:12 (AMP)
So then, whatever you desire that others would do to and for you, even so do also to and for them, for this is (sums up) the Law and the Prophets.
Romans 8:26-28 (KJV)
Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. [27] And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God. [28] And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.
John 14:26 (AMP)
But the Comforter (Counselor, Helper, Intercessor, Advocate, Strengthener, Standby), the Holy Spirit, Whom the Father will send in My name in My place, to represent Me and act on My behalf, He will teach you all things. And He will cause you to recall (will remind you of, bring to your remembrance) everything I have told you.
John 15:26 (KJV)
But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me:
Revelation 19:19-20 (KJV)
And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse, and against his army. [20] And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.
Romans 14:7-8 (KJV)
For none of us liveth to himself, and no man dieth to himself. [8] For whether we live, we live unto the Lord; and whether we die, we die unto the Lord: whether we live therefore, or die, we are the Lord's.
Ephesians 4:13 (AMP)
That it might develop until we all attain oneness in the faith and in the comprehension of the full and accurate knowledge of the Son of God, that we might arrive at really mature manhood (the completeness of personality which is nothing less than the standard height of Christ''s own perfection), the measure of the stature of the fullness of the Christ and the completeness found in Him.
Every day, people in My kingdom need a personal touch from another believer. My Holy Spirit operates a spiritual intercom system, designed for those who have spiritual ears to hear. My spirit whispers the names of those needing attention, over the intercom, in order for the hearer to rush to aid the person needing a personal touch.
Through this process, I am accomplishing several things at one time. I am building a body, I am building an army, I am training the insensitive, and I am strengthening the weak.

SPIRITUAL WEED KILLER
SPIRITUAL WEED KILLER
You are made in the image of a triune God. We made you so unique, that no exact duplicate will ever exist. Your are a three part entity made up of body, soul and spirit. These three were one until Adam disobeyed, after which these three became separate entities. When I withdrew, because of the sin of disobedience, within seconds, the spirit went dark, the soul divided into three parts, mind, will and emotions, and body started to decay.
I want to speak to you about one portion of your soul, namely your emotions. Your emotions are the soil where all seed, first lands. The emotions can not distinguish between good seed and bad seed, it is only the entry point of all seed. When the seed is very poisonous the emotion suffers pain, sometimes even trauma. When the seed is very good the emotions are elated sometimes ecstatic. However most seed is not distinguishable, it all seems acceptable.
When I return to you, through the born again experience, I take up residence in you spirit, making your spirit alive again, and it is no longer darkened. At this point your emotion has two options. One, to continue receiving all seed or two, with the help of My Holy Spirit, dividing the good from the bad, discarding the bad and fertilizing the good.
If you do not choose to run all seed, every single thought, through My Spirit separator first, then the bad seed will be fertilized as well, producing an overwhelming abundance of weeds.
Seed is fertilized by repetitious thoughts. As bad seed is turned over and over and over in the mind it expands very quickly sometimes in minutes, it will grow 10 times its original size. It can choke out good seed in seconds. The weed will multiply so quickly, spreading all through the mind, taking over the will and causing the emotion to explode into foolish actions, and finally carried out by the body.
When I reside in you, I offer an abundance of weed killer, along with a My seed separator. The weed killer is made up of three parts, one part mercy, one part forgiveness one part blessing. Each part is to be applied in that order. Each part will fall back to you personally. The mercy you allow, I will show to you, to the degree you forgive, I will forgive you and how you bless others, will determine how I bless you.
The more you use My seed separator the less weed killer you will need. My seed separator can even be set on super fine and divide the bone and marrow. It can X-ray and separate the very framework of the human being.
The seed separator will not allow bad seed to reach the emotional ground, thus it will never take root which lessens the need for mercy, forgiveness, or blessings on your part. The seed separator ejects every negative, and unproductive thought before touching any part of the soul in a damaging way.
I have given every believer the necessary tools to become a kingdom citizen. It is the job of each believer to use the tools I have provided, to overcome all sin, and develop the mind of Christ. When you fail to take every thought captive, use the weed killer and be rewarded in that day.
Hebrews 4:12-13 (AMP)
For the Word that God speaks is alive and full of power making it active, operative, energizing, and effective; it is sharper than any two-edged sword, penetrating to the dividing line of the breath of life (soul) and the immortal spirit, and of joints and marrow of the deepest parts of our nature, exposing and sifting and analyzing and judging the very thoughts and purposes of the heart. [13] And not a creature exists that is concealed from His sight, but all things are open and exposed, naked and defenseless to the eyes of Him with Whom we have to do.
Matthew 5:7 (KJV)
Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.
Matthew 13:24-26 (AMP)
Another parable He set forth before them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field. [25] But while he was sleeping, his enemy came and sowed also darnel (weeds resembling wheat) among the wheat, and went on his way. [26] So when the plants sprouted and formed grain, the darnel (weeds) appeared also.
2 Corinthians 10:4-5 (AMP)
For the weapons of our warfare are not physical weapons of flesh and blood, but they are mighty before God for the overthrow and destruction of strongholds, [5] Inasmuch as we refute arguments and theories and reasonings and every proud and lofty thing that sets itself up against the true knowledge of God; and we lead every thought and purpose away captive into the obedience of Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One),
Matthew 6:15 (AMP)
But if you do not forgive others their trespasses their reckless and willful sins, leaving them, letting them go, and giving up resentment, neither will your Father forgive you your trespasses.
Luke 6:38 (KJV)
Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again.
Matthew 5:44 (KJV)
But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;
Hebrews 12:15 (AMP)
Exercise foresight and be on the watch to look after one another, to see that no one falls back from and fails to secure God''s grace (His unmerited favor and spiritual blessing), in order that no root of resentment (rancor, bitterness, or hatred) shoots forth and causes trouble and bitter torment, and the many become contaminated and defiled by it--
Proverbs 23:7 (KJV)
For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he: Eat and drink, saith he to thee; but his heart is not with thee.

I AM TRYING TO GET YOUR GOAT, GET UNDER YOUR SKIN, AN REALLY IRRITATE YOU!!!
I AM TRYING TO GET YOUR GOAT, GET UNDER YOUR SKIN, AN REALLY IRRITATE YOU!!!
Crucifixion is really, really painful. It is a slow and complete death to every part of the nervous system. Every nerve eventually shuts down due to shock, in order for the brain to still function and operate critical motor skills. The pain is so intense, you go completely numb, weaving in and out of consciousness. Every believer must be totally crucified to enter and enjoy kingdom living.
When you say to Me, "thy will be done", I must start the death process in you. You are not allowed to play games with your creator. The only game I play, is taunting the enemy, by causing you to triumph over him, just when he thought he had defeated you. I love that game, it makes me sit here in heaven and laugh and laugh.
I have special unwilling servants lined up to: cheat on you, gossip about you, betray you, steal from you, lie to you, abuse you, falsely accuse you, malign you, hate you, say all manner of evil against you, curse you, and even enjoy your suffering. They will anxiously await your extermination. This is part of the crucifixion process. Now here is the real test, during this process, you must love them and even be willing to give your very life for them. You must continually forgive them and pray blessing on them. Do you still want My will to be done?
I am trying to get your goat, and under your skin and irritate every nerve of your emotional being.
When you have, NO GOAT TO GET, NO SKIN TO GET UNDER, and when NO ONE CAN IRRITATE YOU, you are then kingdom material and ready to be an example of the believer.
I do all of this, so you can, Love your enemies, do good to them which hate you, Bless them that curse you, and pray for them which despitefully use you.
I do it so that when someone hits you on the one cheek you will offer also the other; and when someone takes away your cloke you will offer him your coat also.
I do it so you will be able to give to every man that asketh of thee; and when a man takes away your goods you will not ask for them again.
I do it so that whatever you want men to do to you, you will first do to them. Until that time you are an example of the world and not the believer.
Think of that person you want to avoid, can't stand or gives you a sick feeling when their name is mentioned, they are helping Me crucify you. They are your answer to prayer. Without them you will never enter the kingdom, you will always be weak and easily tossed by like a reed in the wind. Without them you will never be like Me!
Never again speak lightly of dying to the flesh. Many start rebuking the devil, as soon as I bring their cross near them. They cry and whine and beg me to destroy the very thing they prayed for. I cannot have true fellowship with an uncrucified life. Only the crucified can be resurrected in power.
Are you still desiring to go through the narrow gate and walk the narrow road, to real freedom and power. If you choose to walk away from the cross you will regret it for eternity. Your children will despise you on judgment day, when they see the heritage, they were cheated out of. Beloved My advice to you is, take up your cross embrace it, and follow me and really count it all joy.
Romans 6:6-13 (KJV)
Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him , that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin. [7] For he that is dead is freed from sin. [8] Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him: [9] Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over him. [10] For in that he died, he died unto sin once: but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God. [11] Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord. [12] Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof. [13] Neither yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God.
2 Timothy 2:12 (AMP)
If we endure, we shall also reign with Him. If we deny and disown and reject Him, He will also deny and disown and reject us.
Matthew 10:24-25 (AMP)
A disciple is not above his teacher, nor is a servant or slave above his master. [25] It is sufficient for the disciple to be like his teacher, and the servant or slave like his master. If they have called the Master of the house Beelzebub master of the dwelling, how much more will they speak evil of those of His household. II Kings 1:2.
Luke 6:27-31 (AMP)
But I say to you who are listening now to Me: in order to heed, make it a practice to love your enemies, treat well (do good to, act nobly toward) those who detest you and pursue you with hatred, [28] Invoke blessings upon and pray for the happiness of those who curse you, implore God''s blessing (favor) upon those who abuse you who revile, reproach, disparage, and high-handedly misuse you. [29] To the one who strikes you on the jaw or cheek, offer the other jaw or cheek also; and from him who takes away your outer garment, do not withhold your undergarment as well. [30] Give away to everyone who begs of you who is in want of necessities, and of him who takes away from you your goods, do not demand or require them back again. [31] And as you would like and desire that men would do to you, do exactly so to them.
Romans 8:13 (AMP)
For if you live according to the dictates of the flesh, you will surely die. But if through the power of the Holy Spirit you are habitually putting to death (making extinct, deadening) the evil deeds prompted by the body, you shall really and genuinely live forever.
Matthew 7:13-14 (AMP)
Enter through the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and spacious and broad is the way that leads away to destruction, and many are those who are entering through it. [14] But the gate is narrow (contracted by pressure) and the way is straitened and compressed that leads away to life, and few are those who find it.
Matthew 10:38-39 (KJV)
And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me. [39] He that findeth his life shall lose it: and he that loseth his life for my sake shall find it.
1 Corinthians 15:31 (AMP)
I assure you by the pride which I have in you in your fellowship and union with Christ Jesus our Lord, that I die daily I face death every day and die to self.
1 Timothy 4:12 (KJV)
Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity.
Matthew 5:11-12 (AMP)
Blessed (happy, to be envied, and spiritually prosperous--with life-joy and satisfaction in God''s favor and salvation, regardless of your outward conditions) are you when people revile you and persecute you and say all kinds of evil things against you falsely on My account. [12] Be glad and supremely joyful, for your reward in heaven is great (strong and intense), for in this same way people persecuted the prophets who were before you. II Chron. 36:16.
Psalm 2:4 (KJV)
He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision.
Crucifixion is really, really painful. It is a slow and complete death to every part of the nervous system.

I do all of this, so you can, Love your enemies, do good to them which hate you, Bless them that curse you, and pray for them which despitefully use you.
I do it so that when someone hits you on the one cheek you will offer also the other; and when someone takes away your cloke you will offer him your coat also.
I do it so you will be able to give to every man that asketh of thee; and when a man takes away your goods you will not ask for them again.
I do it so that whatever you want men to do to you, you will first do to them. Until that time you are an example of the world and not the believer.
Think of that person you want to avoid, can't stand or gives you a sick feeling when their name is mentioned, they are helping Me crucify you. They are your answer to prayer. Without them you will never enter the kingdom, you will always be weak and easily tossed by like a reed in the wind. Without them you will never be like Me!
Never again speak lightly of dying to the flesh. Many start rebuking the devil, as soon as I bring their cross near them. They cry and whine and beg me to destroy the very thing they prayed for. I cannot have true fellowship with an uncrucified life. Only the crucified can be resurrected in power.
Are you still desiring to go through the narrow gate and walk the narrow road, to real freedom and power. If you choose to walk away from the cross you will regret it for eternity. Your children will despise you on judgment day, when they see the heritage, they were cheated out of. Beloved My advice to you is, take up your cross embrace it, and follow me and really count it all joy.
Romans 6:6-13 (KJV)
Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him , that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin. [7] For he that is dead is freed from sin. [8] Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him: [9] Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over him. [10] For in that he died, he died unto sin once: but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God. [11] Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord. [12] Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof. [13] Neither yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God.
2 Timothy 2:12 (AMP)
If we endure, we shall also reign with Him. If we deny and disown and reject Him, He will also deny and disown and reject us.
Matthew 10:24-25 (AMP)
A disciple is not above his teacher, nor is a servant or slave above his master. [25] It is sufficient for the disciple to be like his teacher, and the servant or slave like his master. If they have called the Master of the house Beelzebub master of the dwelling, how much more will they speak evil of those of His household. II Kings 1:2.
Luke 6:27-31 (AMP)
But I say to you who are listening now to Me: in order to heed, make it a practice to love your enemies, treat well (do good to, act nobly toward) those who detest you and pursue you with hatred, [28] Invoke blessings upon and pray for the happiness of those who curse you, implore God''s blessing (favor) upon those who abuse you who revile, reproach, disparage, and high-handedly misuse you. [29] To the one who strikes you on the jaw or cheek, offer the other jaw or cheek also; and from him who takes away your outer garment, do not withhold your undergarment as well. [30] Give away to everyone who begs of you who is in want of necessities, and of him who takes away from you your goods, do not demand or require them back again. [31] And as you would like and desire that men would do to you, do exactly so to them.
Romans 8:13 (AMP)
For if you live according to the dictates of the flesh, you will surely die. But if through the power of the Holy Spirit you are habitually putting to death (making extinct, deadening) the evil deeds prompted by the body, you shall really and genuinely live forever.
Matthew 7:13-14 (AMP)
Enter through the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and spacious and broad is the way that leads away to destruction, and many are those who are entering through it. [14] But the gate is narrow (contracted by pressure) and the way is straitened and compressed that leads away to life, and few are those who find it.
Matthew 10:38-39 (KJV)
And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me. [39] He that findeth his life shall lose it: and he that loseth his life for my sake shall find it.
1 Corinthians 15:31 (AMP)
I assure you by the pride which I have in you in your fellowship and union with Christ Jesus our Lord, that I die daily I face death every day and die to self.
1 Timothy 4:12 (KJV)
Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity.
Matthew 5:11-12 (AMP)
Blessed (happy, to be envied, and spiritually prosperous--with life-joy and satisfaction in God''s favor and salvation, regardless of your outward conditions) are you when people revile you and persecute you and say all kinds of evil things against you falsely on My account. [12] Be glad and supremely joyful, for your reward in heaven is great (strong and intense), for in this same way people persecuted the prophets who were before you. II Chron. 36:16.
Psalm 2:4 (KJV)
He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision.

TO KNOW ME, IS TO KNOW MY VOICE
TO KNOW ME, IS TO KNOW MY VOICE
When you really know someone, one of the first things you recognize is their voice. Sometimes, one will recognize a voice, before they can put a name to it. Some friends and relatives feel hurt when you do not recognize their voice. Others are complimented, when you may not know them well, but still recognize their voice.
It is quite different with Me, because you will never know Me, unless you first recognize My voice first. You have never seen Me with your eyes therefore the greatest connection with Me, will be by hearing My voice. My voice does not use sound waves, instead it uses thought patterns, caused by spiritual impulses. In order for you to hear My voice, you must first clear the path to your mind so it is quiet enough to hear a whisper.
Many have asked what do I sound like? Most people have heard My voice but most do not recognize it. Many call Me something. They say,"something told me, not to go this way or that way", that something was Me. Some refer to Me as, "a little voice told me". I speak in soft gentle thoughts.
The quieter you are in your mind the easier it is to hear Me. Your environment may be very noisy and yet your mind may be still and very quiet. The opposite may also be the case, you may be lying quietly in your bed and your mind cluttered with noise of a 100 thoughts, at once.
Let Me share the secret to hearing My voice. With the understanding that you must be born again, make a clear and conscious effort to hear My voice, by asking Me to speak to you. Get prepared to receive, by having pen and paper ready. Clear your heart of any anger, bitterness or unforgiveness. These will always block your spiritual ears.
The enemy attempts to communicate through the soul, using electronic impulses called," fiery darts" or brain waves. You must learn how to quench these quickly. Anyone who confuses these with My voice is in great danger and does not know Me. Avoid listening to their vain and foolish babbling at all cost. Listening will give place to the enemy.
I want, so very much to speak with you, and have you know My voice. I want to talk to you every day. This is the only way you will survive what is coming in the days ahead. If you do not know the sound of My voice, you will be deceived into following an imposter. Many have been lost to a cult because they never made a real effort to hear My voice.
You must break the barrier between the natural world and the supernatural world. This is where death to self shows up. Ignore what is said by others and try it. They may call you crazy so do not share with those who will discourage you, and you will soon have answers to questions they will always be searching for.
Write down words that float into your mind, they will begin to form complete thoughts. Soon you will have a hard time keeping up with the thoughts. When the thoughts pause, re-read what you have just written, you will be amazed what I have just spoken to you. These are not coming from your background or education but up from your spirit as I speak to your spirit.
I long for my children to know Me intimately, there is so much I want to share. Come away and let Me speak with you as friend with friend.
John 10:27 (KJV)
My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:
Matthew 10:27-28 (KJV)
What I tell you in darkness, that speak ye in light: and what ye hear in the ear, that preach ye upon the housetops. [28] And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.
John 10:2-5 (KJV)
But he that entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep. [3] To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out. [4] And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice. [5] And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers.
Matthew 6:6 (AMP)
But when you pray, go into your most private room, and, closing the door, pray to your Father, Who is in secret; and your Father, Who sees in secret, will reward you in the open.

Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.

1 Samuel 3:4-11 (KJV)
That the Lord called Samuel: and he answered, Here am I. [5] And he ran unto Eli, and said, Here am I; for thou calledst me. And he said, I called not; lie down again. And he went and lay down. [6] And the Lord called yet again, Samuel. And Samuel arose and went to Eli, and said, Here am I; for thou didst call me. And he answered, I called not, my son; lie down again. [7] Now Samuel did not yet know the Lord , neither was the word of the Lord yet revealed unto him. [8] And the Lord called Samuel again the third time. And he arose and went to Eli, and said, Here am I; for thou didst call me. And Eli perceived that the Lord had called the child. [9] Therefore Eli said unto Samuel, Go, lie down: and it shall be, if he call thee, that thou shalt say, Speak, Lord ; for thy servant heareth. So Samuel went and lay down in his place. [10] And the Lord came, and stood, and called as at other times, Samuel, Samuel. Then Samuel answered, Speak; for thy servant heareth. [11] And the Lord said to Samuel, Behold, I will do a thing in Israel, at which both the ears of every one that heareth it shall tingle.
Revelation 1:11 (KJV)
Saying, I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last: and, What thou seest, write in a book, and send it unto the seven churches which are in Asia; unto Ephesus, and unto Smyrna, and unto Pergamos, and unto Thyatira, and unto Sardis, and unto Philadelphia, and unto Laodicea.
Habakkuk 2:2-3 (AMP)
And the Lord answered me and said, Write the vision and engrave it so plainly upon tablets that everyone who passes may be able to read it easily and quickly as he hastens by. [3] For the vision is yet for an appointed time and it hastens to the end fulfillment; it will not deceive or disappoint. Though it tarry, wait earnestly for it, because it will surely come; it will not be behindhand on its appointed day.
