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!
