THE STEERING WHEEL OF FEELINGS
You are fearfully and wonderfully made, and all facets of your body, soul, and spirit, are for My ultimate purpose, by design. You are not to alter or allow any man to try to twist any part of you to suit their needs. You are only to surrender every single facet to Me, that I might strip it, of all carnality and re-shape it to My original design. The enemy has used sin of Babylon to bend it out of shape and then coated it with the carnality of self, so you can no longer see My purpose for you.
Feelings are a big part of you, do not ignore them because they are the steering wheel of your soul. They are the guard rails and the ribs on the edge of the highway to keep you on course. Most people steer the wrong way and end up in excess that causes a tragic crash. When you experience a feeling, steer in the opposite direction. When you bump a guard rail pull away from it, don't turn into it.
If you feel down, don't steer toward booze or drugs, steer toward praise and you will head upward, if you feel joyful don't steer toward a fleshly party, steer toward someone that's down and give some joy to them. If you feel alone, don't steer into a pity party, steer toward people I have designed for you to be with. Feeling overwhelmed? Don't steer into depression, steer into the secret place with Me, where we can exchange burdens.
Some of you are waiting in vain for Me to take the wheel of your life and it's not going to happen. You are about to crash and you know it. I have a kingdom alert for you, if you keep refusing to take the wheel, you are about to die. It's not because I want you to die, but because you have neglected to respond properly, to the things your feeling. Things you have known to be wrong and steered away from, since childhood, but now you have taken your hand off the wheel and plunged into sin.
Married men and women who have known My power and love, now simply let sin reign in their home, knowing their spouses are not pleasing Me. You were never called to submit to sin, in you own life or your spouses life.
Submission to Me will give you power over the sin in your life as well as your spouses life. Children are allowed to bring the filth of the world into once holy homes, and receive no rebuke. Yet some children have maintained My holiness and are rebuking their backslidden parents for the darkness they see in their home.
Once Godly wives now dress as prostitutes, to please lust filled husbands. Husbands work two jobs to satisfy their wifes lust for things. The darkness that reigns in Babylon has entered many of the homes where I once reigned. If it felt good to the flesh, you fed it, and now it has grown so big it has taken control of your home.
My love is calling to My backslidden children, and My holiness is demanding repentance. The enemy is about to kill many, who once were on fire for Me and I'm helpless to stop it, because they live outside My protection plan. They have deliberately refused to take the wheel and now the vehicle is plunging toward death. However there is still time to scream out My name in repentance.
You can still take the wheel and smash the TV, burn the porn videos, tear up the whores attire from Victoria Secret. My kingdom is demanding you throw out the magazines that create a lust for the things of this world, pour the booze down the drain, flush the pills down the toilet. Take the wheel and cleanse your minds, your bodies and your homes of all the filth of Babylon. IF You refuse, all your hidden sin is about to be exposed by the enemy, as an act of sabotage against My kingdom.
All the friends, you once witnessed too, are about to laugh and mock the God you once served. They are deeply hurt that the hope you offered them has vanished. STOP blameing others, you and only you are responsible to take the steering wheel of your life and turn it according to My directions.
There is still time to turn around and take up your cross and follow Me. My holiness is demanding that I cut you off for ever but My mercy is restraining My holiness one more time, for some the crash is only moments away and your children are in the car. Repent now! Repent now! Repent now! Your tomorrows have run out!!!
Ezekiel 18:20-32 (AMP)
The soul that sins, it is the one that shall die. The son shall not bear and be punished for the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear and be punished for the iniquity of the son; the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him only, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon the wicked only. [21] But if the wicked man turns from all his sins that he has committed and keeps all My statutes and does that which is lawful and right, he shall surely live; he shall not die. [22] None of his transgressions which he has committed shall be remembered against him; for his righteousness which he has executed for his moral and spiritual rectitude in every area and relation, he shall live. [23] Have I any pleasure in the death of the wicked? says the Lord, and not rather that he should turn from his evil way and return to his God and live? [24] But if the righteous man turns away from his righteousness and commits iniquity and does according to all the abominations that the wicked man does, shall he live? None of his righteous deeds which he has done shall be remembered. In his trespass that he has trespassed and in his sin that he has sinned, in them shall he die. [25] Yet you say, The way of the Lord is not fair and just. Hear now, O house of Israel: Is not My way fair and just? Are not your ways unfair and unjust? [26] When a righteous man turns away from his righteousness and commits iniquity and dies in his sins, for his iniquity that he has done he shall die. [27] Again, when the wicked man turns away from his wickedness which he has committed and does that which is lawful and right, he shall save his life. [28] Because he considers and turns away from all his transgressions which he has committed, he shall surely live; he shall not die. [29] Yet says the house of Israel, The way of the Lord is not fair and just! O house of Israel, are not My ways fair and just? Are not your ways unfair and unjust? [30] Therefore I will judge you, O house of Israel, every one according to his ways, says the Lord God. Repent and turn from all your transgressions, lest iniquity be your ruin and so shall they not be a stumbling block to you. [31] Cast away from you all your transgressions by which you have transgressed against Me, and make you a new mind and heart and a new spirit. For why will you die, O house of Israel? [32] For I have no pleasure in the death of him who dies, says the Lord God. Therefore turn (be converted) and live!
2 Chronicles 7:14 (AMP)
If My people, who are called by My name, shall humble themselves, pray, seek, crave, and require of necessity My face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven, forgive their sin, and heal their land.
Luke 13:34-35 (AMP)
O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you who continue to kill the prophets and to stone those who are sent to you! How often I have desired and yearned to gather your children together around Me, as a hen gathers her young under her wings, but you would not! [35] Behold, your house is forsaken (abandoned, left to you destitute of God''s help)! And I tell you, you will not see Me again until the time comes when you shall say, Blessed (to be celebrated with praises) is He Who comes in the name of the Lord!
Proverbs 1:23-33 (AMP)
If you will turn (repent) and give heed to my reproof, behold, I Wisdom will pour out my spirit upon you, I will make my words known to you. [24] Because I have called and you have refused to answer, have stretched out my hand and no man has heeded it, [25] And you treated as nothing all my counsel and would accept none of my reproof, [26] I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when the thing comes that shall cause you terror and panic-- [27] When your panic comes as a storm and desolation and your calamity comes on as a whirlwind, when distress and anguish come upon you. [28] Then will they call upon me Wisdom but I will not answer; they will seek me early and diligently but they will not find me. [29] Because they hated knowledge and did not choose the reverent and worshipful fear of the Lord, [30] Would accept none of my counsel, and despised all my reproof, [31] Therefore shall they eat of the fruit of their own way and be satiated with their own devices. [32] For the backsliding of the simple shall slay them, and the careless ease of self-confident fools shall destroy them. [33] But whoso hearkens to me Wisdom shall dwell securely and in confident trust and shall be quiet, without fear or dread of evil.
Proverbs 29:1-3 (AMP)
HE WHO, being often reproved, hardens his neck shall suddenly be destroyed--and that without remedy. [2] When the uncompromisingly righteous are in authority, the people rejoice; but when the wicked man rules, the people groan and sigh. [3] Whoever loves skillful and godly Wisdom rejoices his father, but he who associates with harlots wastes his substance.
1 Thessalonians 5:22 (AMP)
Abstain from evil shrink from it and keep aloof from it in whatever form or whatever kind it may be.

CONSTANT CONTACT ... DON'T TRY TO MAKE IT ALONE!!!
CONSTANT CONTACT ... DON'T TRY TO MAKE IT ALONE!!!
These are the days of increased spiritual activity, as the cloud of witnesses prepare for for the wedding feast. On earth the increase is also at record pace as the enemy recognizes he has only a short time. For this purpose I have established a constant contact spiritual network the a cannot be hacked.
It is called unction, and it is located deep in the belly of every believer. My spirit is in constant with all believers world wide, and is monitoring every situation in every life, down to the hairs on each head. All thoughts, intentions, victories, and defeats are closely watched. Any trouble spots in a life are red flagged and an unction is sent to a connecting believer to move into action.
Western mind set people are slow to enter this network because of the pace of their life and lack of oneness in their culture. However as the day approaches it will be the only way to survive attacks of the enemy as he sends floods of negative on the earth. When you receive an unction do not discard it someone's life may depend on it. Pray for and contact that person asap.
This will soon become a daily routine and you will see Devine appointments greatly increase as the body comes together. If the enemy can separate you from the flock he can defeat you easier. Your tendency to keep things to yourself is his way of breaking down spiritual help, that's why I created, "unction". You cannot hide anything from me and I know your tendencies, therefore I will give others an unction to intercede for you, call you, or bump into you, never by accident or coincidence, always by design.
Get accustomed to it it will last through eternity as every joint begins to supply what the other needs. The days of the lone ranger are over, no more superstars, no single heroes, only the body fitly framed, formed, and knit together as one new man. Fully clothed, protected, and considered armed and dangerous by the kingdom of darkness.
Get ready for an unction, and don't ignore it somebody's life may depend on it.
1 John 2:20 (AMP)
But you have been anointed by you hold a sacred appointment from, you have been given an unction from the Holy One, and you all know the Truth or you know all things.
Hebrews 10:24-25 (AMP)
And let us consider and give attentive, continuous care to watching over one another, studying how we may stir up (stimulate and incite) to love and helpful deeds and noble activities, [25] Not forsaking or neglecting to assemble together as believers, as is the habit of some people, but admonishing (warning, urging, and encouraging) one another, and all the more faithfully as you see the day approaching.
1 John 2:27 (AMP)
But as for you, the anointing (the sacred appointment, the unction) which you received from Him abides permanently in you; so then you have no need that anyone should instruct you. But just as His anointing teaches you concerning everything and is true and is no falsehood, so you must abide in (live in, never depart from) Him being rooted in Him, knit to Him, just as His anointing has taught you to do.
Ephesians 4:14-16 (AMP)
So then, we may no longer be children, tossed like ships to and fro between chance gusts of teaching and wavering with every changing wind of doctrine, the prey of the cunning and cleverness of unscrupulous men, gamblers engaged in every shifting form of trickery in inventing errors to mislead. [15] Rather, let our lives lovingly express truth in all things, speaking truly, dealing truly, living truly. Enfolded in love, let us grow up in every way and in all things into Him Who is the Head, even Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One). [16] For because of Him the whole body (the church, in all its various parts), closely joined and firmly knit together by the joints and ligaments with which it is supplied, when each part with power adapted to its need is working properly in all its functions, grows to full maturity, building itself up in love.
Ephesians 2:14-16,19-22 (AMP)
For He is Himself our peace (our bond of unity and harmony). He has made us both Jew and Gentile one body, and has broken down (destroyed, abolished) the hostile dividing wall between us, [15] By abolishing in His own crucified flesh the enmity caused by the Law with its decrees and ordinances which He annulled; that He from the two might create in Himself one new man one new quality of humanity out of the two, so making peace. [16] And He designed to reconcile to God both Jew and Gentile, united in a single body by means of His cross, thereby killing the mutual enmity and bringing the feud to an end. [19] Therefore you are no longer outsiders (exiles, migrants, and aliens, excluded from the rights of citizens), but you now share citizenship with the saints (God''s own people, consecrated and set apart for Himself); and you belong to God''s own household. [20] You are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets with Christ Jesus Himself the chief Cornerstone. [21] In Him the whole structure is joined (bound, welded) together harmoniously, and it continues to rise (grow, increase) into a holy temple in the Lord a sanctuary dedicated, consecrated, and sacred to the presence of the Lord. [22] In Him and in fellowship with one another you yourselves also are being built up into this structure with the rest, to form a fixed abode (dwelling place) of God in (by, through) the Spirit.
1 Thessalonians 5:11-24 (AMP)
Therefore encourage (admonish, exhort) one another and edify (strengthen and build up) one another, just as you are doing. [12] Now also we beseech you, brethren, get to know those who labor among you recognize them for what they are, acknowledge and appreciate and respect them all--your leaders who are over you in the Lord and those who warn and kindly reprove and exhort you. [13] And hold them in very high and most affectionate esteem in intelligent and sympathetic appreciation of their work. Be at peace among yourselves. [14] And we earnestly beseech you, brethren, admonish (warn and seriously advise) those who are out of line the loafers, the disorderly, and the unruly; encourage the timid and fainthearted, help and give your support to the weak souls, and be very patient with everybody always keeping your temper. [15] See that none of you repays another with evil for evil, but always aim to show kindness and seek to do good to one another and to everybody. [16] Be happy in your faith and rejoice and be glad-hearted continually (always); [17] Be unceasing in prayer praying perseveringly; [18] Thank God in everything no matter what the circumstances may be, be thankful and give thanks, for this is the will of God for you who are in Christ Jesus the Revealer and Mediator of that will. [19] Do not quench (suppress or subdue) the Holy Spirit; [20] Do not spurn the gifts and utterances of the prophets do not depreciate prophetic revelations nor despise inspired instruction or exhortation or warning. [21] But test and prove all things until you can recognize what is good; to that hold fast. [22] Abstain from evil shrink from it and keep aloof from it in whatever form or whatever kind it may be. [23] And may the God of peace Himself sanctify you through and through separate you from profane things, make you pure and wholly consecrated to God; and may your spirit and soul and body be preserved sound and complete and found blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ (the Messiah). [24] Faithful is He Who is calling you to Himself and utterly trustworthy, and He will also do it fulfill His call by hallowing and keeping you.

ALWAYS BE PREPARED FOR A POWERFUL ATTACK
ALWAYS BE PREPARED FOR A POWERFUL ATTACK
The enemy of your soul targets every believer that threatens his darkness. My people do not understand how badly he wants to kill them. They think close calls are coincidence or luck. I commission angels to watch over all my children. However there are times that a well planned attack to discourage, weary, and to weakened you, setting you up to kill you, is successful.
This plan is successful on occasion because the believer does not know about or sometimes does not believe in My extra protection plan. When My spirit impresses you to pray, and My Spirit begins to intercede through you, do not take it lightly. My Spirit is calling for extra angelic recruits to protect you or someone else, that is about to be hit by the enemies flood.
My spirit dwells inside you as a power source that no unbeliever has. Believers that have not been filled with My spirit also lack this power. As a plot is being developed in hell, you will feel the negative power building around you. As the attack builds the hits increase in speed, it will be obvious this is not the ordinary trials of life. This is an attempt of hell to wipe you out.
First you loose your job, then the car breaks down, your child gets sick, the water heater spirings a leak, the AC goes out, your friends tell of their blessings while you think you are being cursed, but you force a smile to hide the pain of your situation. Demonic voices relentlessly chip away at your joy hour after hour, saying, God has left you, your faith is false, your a looser, this time your going under for sure, look at yourself, your have nothing to show.
As I watch this attack, I see it as another great opportunity to advance My kingdom and demonstrate My overwhelming power over the phony king of darkness. I am waiting for you to resist unto blood, where you will stop waiting for things to get naturally better, and realize you are in an unseen war between the forces of darkness and the kingdom of light.
Hebrews 12:4 (AMP)
You have not yet struggled and fought agonizingly against sin, nor have you yet resisted and withstood to the point of pouring out your own blood.
As the battle reaches the final stages and another big hit is about do deliver you the final blow, in total desperation you cry out to Me. Weeping in the night season I prompt you to reach down deep in you inner being and take out the eliminator. The power of My Spirit to wage war in the unseen world. You begin to speak in tongues, for a moment it's you, but soon you will realize that there is a groaning coming from deep in your belly, that is not you. It is your very soul being poured out by the power of My Spirit.
Depending on the size of the battle this may continue for minutes or hours, but upon completion there is a supernatural peace. Meaning you just defeated the enemy and reversed everything on his own head. Now I will use all your losses to move you to a new victors level, where you can wage a new battle with greater strength. With each victory comes more authority, so each battle will be more intense, keeping in mind, the greater battle, the greater victory. This will continue as long as you and the devil are roaming the earth.
Remember I left you on earth for the purpose of defeating the works of the enemy and establishing My kingdom. When I took away his keys to death and hell, I defeated him in the regions above and beneath, where you could not go. However I let him roam freely on earth for a while, so I could show forth My power through you. I have given you the power to defeat him in the physical world to show forth My works in My body of believers. Each battle purifies you more and moves you to higher authority, and soon you will be without spot or wrinkle ready for My return and his final destruction in the abyss.
Isaiah 59:19 (AMP)
So as the result of the Messiah''s intervention they shall reverently fear the name of the Lord from the west, and His glory from the rising of the sun. When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the Lord will lift up a standard against him and put him to flight for He will come like a rushing stream which the breath of the Lord drives.
Hebrews 12:1-28 (AMP)
THEREFORE THEN, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses who have borne testimony to the Truth, let us strip off and throw aside every encumbrance (unnecessary weight) and that sin which so readily (deftly and cleverly) clings to and entangles us, and let us run with patient endurance and steady and active persistence the appointed course of the race that is set before us, [2] Looking away from all that will distract to Jesus, Who is the Leader and the Source of our faith giving the first incentive for our belief and is also its Finisher bringing it to maturity and perfection. He, for the joy of obtaining the prize that was set before Him, endured the cross, despising and ignoring the shame, and is now seated at the right hand of the throne of God. [3] Just think of Him Who endured from sinners such grievous opposition and bitter hostility against Himself reckon up and consider it all in comparison with your trials, so that you may not grow weary or exhausted, losing heart and relaxing and fainting in your minds. [4] You have not yet struggled and fought agonizingly against sin, nor have you yet resisted and withstood to the point of pouring out your own blood. [5] And have you completely forgotten the divine word of appeal and encouragement in which you are reasoned with and addressed as sons? My son, do not think lightly or scorn to submit to the correction and discipline of the Lord, nor lose courage and give up and faint when you are reproved or corrected by Him; [6] For the Lord corrects and disciplines everyone whom He loves, and He punishes, even scourges, every son whom He accepts and welcomes to His heart and cherishes. [7] You must submit to and endure correction for discipline; God is dealing with you as with sons. For what son is there whom his father does not thus train and correct and discipline? [8] Now if you are exempt from correction and left without discipline in which all of God''s children share, then you are illegitimate offspring and not true sons at all. [9] Moreover, we have had earthly fathers who disciplined us and we yielded to them and respected them for training us. Shall we not much more cheerfully submit to the Father of spirits and so truly live? [10] For our earthly fathers disciplined us for only a short period of time and chastised us as seemed proper and good to them; but He disciplines us for our certain good, that we may become sharers in His own holiness. [11] For the time being no discipline brings joy, but seems grievous and painful; but afterwards it yields a peaceable fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it a harvest of fruit which consists in righteousness--in conformity to God''s will in purpose, thought, and action, resulting in right living and right standing with God. [12] So then, brace up and reinvigorate and set right your slackened and weakened and drooping hands and strengthen your feeble and palsied and tottering knees, [13] And cut through and make firm and plain and smooth, straight paths for your feet yes, make them safe and upright and happy paths that go in the right direction, so that the lame and halting limbs may not be put out of joint, but rather may be cured. [14] Strive to live in peace with everybody and pursue that consecration and holiness without which no one will ever see the Lord. [15] 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-- [16] That no one may become guilty of sexual vice, or become a profane (godless and sacrilegious) person as Esau did, who sold his own birthright for a single meal. [17] For you understand that later on, when he wanted to regain title to his inheritance of the blessing, he was rejected (disqualified and set aside), for he could find no opportunity to repair by repentance what he had done, no chance to recall the choice he had made, although he sought for it carefully with bitter tears. [18] For you have not come as did the Israelites in the wilderness to a material mountain that can be touched, a mountain that is ablaze with fire, and to gloom and darkness and a raging storm, [19] And to the blast of a trumpet and a voice whose words make the listeners beg that nothing more be said to them. [20] For they could not bear the command that was given: If even a wild animal touches the mountain, it shall be stoned to death. [21] In fact, so awful and terrifying was the phenomenal sight that Moses said, I am terrified (aghast and trembling with fear). [22] But rather, you have come to Mount Zion, even to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to countless multitudes of angels in festal gathering, [23] And to the church (assembly) of the Firstborn who are registered as citizens in heaven, and to the God Who is Judge of all, and to the spirits of the righteous (the redeemed in heaven) who have been made perfect, [24] And to Jesus, the Mediator (Go-between, Agent) of a new covenant, and to the sprinkled blood which speaks of mercy, a better and nobler and more gracious message than the blood of Abel which cried out for vengeance. [25] So see to it that you do not reject Him or refuse to listen to and heed Him Who is speaking to you now. For if they the Israelites did not escape when they refused to listen and heed Him Who warned and divinely instructed them here on earth revealing with heavenly warnings His will, how much less shall we escape if we reject and turn our backs on Him Who cautions and admonishes us from heaven? [26] Then at Mount Sinai His voice shook the earth, but now He has given a promise: Yet once more I will shake and make tremble not only the earth but also the starry heavens. [27] Now this expression, Yet once more, indicates the final removal and transformation of all that can be shaken--that is, of that which has been created--in order that what cannot be shaken may remain and continue. [28] Let us therefore, receiving a kingdom that is firm and stable and cannot be shaken, offer to God pleasing service and acceptable worship, with modesty and pious care and godly fear and awe;
The enemy of your soul targets every believer that threatens his darkness. My people do not understand how badly he wants to kill them. They think close calls are coincidence or luck. I commission angels to watch over all my children. However there are times that a well planned attack to discourage, weary, and to weakened you, setting you up to kill you, is successful.
This plan is successful on occasion because the believer does not know about or sometimes does not believe in My extra protection plan. When My spirit impresses you to pray, and My Spirit begins to intercede through you, do not take it lightly. My Spirit is calling for extra angelic recruits to protect you or someone else, that is about to be hit by the enemies flood.
My spirit dwells inside you as a power source that no unbeliever has. Believers that have not been filled with My spirit also lack this power. As a plot is being developed in hell, you will feel the negative power building around you. As the attack builds the hits increase in speed, it will be obvious this is not the ordinary trials of life. This is an attempt of hell to wipe you out.
First you loose your job, then the car breaks down, your child gets sick, the water heater spirings a leak, the AC goes out, your friends tell of their blessings while you think you are being cursed, but you force a smile to hide the pain of your situation. Demonic voices relentlessly chip away at your joy hour after hour, saying, God has left you, your faith is false, your a looser, this time your going under for sure, look at yourself, your have nothing to show.
As I watch this attack, I see it as another great opportunity to advance My kingdom and demonstrate My overwhelming power over the phony king of darkness. I am waiting for you to resist unto blood, where you will stop waiting for things to get naturally better, and realize you are in an unseen war between the forces of darkness and the kingdom of light.
Hebrews 12:4 (AMP)
You have not yet struggled and fought agonizingly against sin, nor have you yet resisted and withstood to the point of pouring out your own blood.
As the battle reaches the final stages and another big hit is about do deliver you the final blow, in total desperation you cry out to Me. Weeping in the night season I prompt you to reach down deep in you inner being and take out the eliminator. The power of My Spirit to wage war in the unseen world. You begin to speak in tongues, for a moment it's you, but soon you will realize that there is a groaning coming from deep in your belly, that is not you. It is your very soul being poured out by the power of My Spirit.
Depending on the size of the battle this may continue for minutes or hours, but upon completion there is a supernatural peace. Meaning you just defeated the enemy and reversed everything on his own head. Now I will use all your losses to move you to a new victors level, where you can wage a new battle with greater strength. With each victory comes more authority, so each battle will be more intense, keeping in mind, the greater battle, the greater victory. This will continue as long as you and the devil are roaming the earth.
Remember I left you on earth for the purpose of defeating the works of the enemy and establishing My kingdom. When I took away his keys to death and hell, I defeated him in the regions above and beneath, where you could not go. However I let him roam freely on earth for a while, so I could show forth My power through you. I have given you the power to defeat him in the physical world to show forth My works in My body of believers. Each battle purifies you more and moves you to higher authority, and soon you will be without spot or wrinkle ready for My return and his final destruction in the abyss.
Isaiah 59:19 (AMP)
So as the result of the Messiah''s intervention they shall reverently fear the name of the Lord from the west, and His glory from the rising of the sun. When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the Lord will lift up a standard against him and put him to flight for He will come like a rushing stream which the breath of the Lord drives.
Hebrews 12:1-28 (AMP)
THEREFORE THEN, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses who have borne testimony to the Truth, let us strip off and throw aside every encumbrance (unnecessary weight) and that sin which so readily (deftly and cleverly) clings to and entangles us, and let us run with patient endurance and steady and active persistence the appointed course of the race that is set before us, [2] Looking away from all that will distract to Jesus, Who is the Leader and the Source of our faith giving the first incentive for our belief and is also its Finisher bringing it to maturity and perfection. He, for the joy of obtaining the prize that was set before Him, endured the cross, despising and ignoring the shame, and is now seated at the right hand of the throne of God. [3] Just think of Him Who endured from sinners such grievous opposition and bitter hostility against Himself reckon up and consider it all in comparison with your trials, so that you may not grow weary or exhausted, losing heart and relaxing and fainting in your minds. [4] You have not yet struggled and fought agonizingly against sin, nor have you yet resisted and withstood to the point of pouring out your own blood. [5] And have you completely forgotten the divine word of appeal and encouragement in which you are reasoned with and addressed as sons? My son, do not think lightly or scorn to submit to the correction and discipline of the Lord, nor lose courage and give up and faint when you are reproved or corrected by Him; [6] For the Lord corrects and disciplines everyone whom He loves, and He punishes, even scourges, every son whom He accepts and welcomes to His heart and cherishes. [7] You must submit to and endure correction for discipline; God is dealing with you as with sons. For what son is there whom his father does not thus train and correct and discipline? [8] Now if you are exempt from correction and left without discipline in which all of God''s children share, then you are illegitimate offspring and not true sons at all. [9] Moreover, we have had earthly fathers who disciplined us and we yielded to them and respected them for training us. Shall we not much more cheerfully submit to the Father of spirits and so truly live? [10] For our earthly fathers disciplined us for only a short period of time and chastised us as seemed proper and good to them; but He disciplines us for our certain good, that we may become sharers in His own holiness. [11] For the time being no discipline brings joy, but seems grievous and painful; but afterwards it yields a peaceable fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it a harvest of fruit which consists in righteousness--in conformity to God''s will in purpose, thought, and action, resulting in right living and right standing with God. [12] So then, brace up and reinvigorate and set right your slackened and weakened and drooping hands and strengthen your feeble and palsied and tottering knees, [13] And cut through and make firm and plain and smooth, straight paths for your feet yes, make them safe and upright and happy paths that go in the right direction, so that the lame and halting limbs may not be put out of joint, but rather may be cured. [14] Strive to live in peace with everybody and pursue that consecration and holiness without which no one will ever see the Lord. [15] 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-- [16] That no one may become guilty of sexual vice, or become a profane (godless and sacrilegious) person as Esau did, who sold his own birthright for a single meal. [17] For you understand that later on, when he wanted to regain title to his inheritance of the blessing, he was rejected (disqualified and set aside), for he could find no opportunity to repair by repentance what he had done, no chance to recall the choice he had made, although he sought for it carefully with bitter tears. [18] For you have not come as did the Israelites in the wilderness to a material mountain that can be touched, a mountain that is ablaze with fire, and to gloom and darkness and a raging storm, [19] And to the blast of a trumpet and a voice whose words make the listeners beg that nothing more be said to them. [20] For they could not bear the command that was given: If even a wild animal touches the mountain, it shall be stoned to death. [21] In fact, so awful and terrifying was the phenomenal sight that Moses said, I am terrified (aghast and trembling with fear). [22] But rather, you have come to Mount Zion, even to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to countless multitudes of angels in festal gathering, [23] And to the church (assembly) of the Firstborn who are registered as citizens in heaven, and to the God Who is Judge of all, and to the spirits of the righteous (the redeemed in heaven) who have been made perfect, [24] And to Jesus, the Mediator (Go-between, Agent) of a new covenant, and to the sprinkled blood which speaks of mercy, a better and nobler and more gracious message than the blood of Abel which cried out for vengeance. [25] So see to it that you do not reject Him or refuse to listen to and heed Him Who is speaking to you now. For if they the Israelites did not escape when they refused to listen and heed Him Who warned and divinely instructed them here on earth revealing with heavenly warnings His will, how much less shall we escape if we reject and turn our backs on Him Who cautions and admonishes us from heaven? [26] Then at Mount Sinai His voice shook the earth, but now He has given a promise: Yet once more I will shake and make tremble not only the earth but also the starry heavens. [27] Now this expression, Yet once more, indicates the final removal and transformation of all that can be shaken--that is, of that which has been created--in order that what cannot be shaken may remain and continue. [28] Let us therefore, receiving a kingdom that is firm and stable and cannot be shaken, offer to God pleasing service and acceptable worship, with modesty and pious care and godly fear and awe;

REWARDED FOR BREATHING
REWARDED FOR BREATHING
Many times you think you are not doing enough for the kingdom. You strive to do more which is good, but be careful not to get out of My rest. Life as I see it is much fuller and detailed that you could possibly see it. Along with the crowns, seats, and thrones, I have a cup of cold water reward, I have a salt and light reward, a praise reward, a walking reward and even a breathing reward.
When you see all things at once the way I do, the excitement is in the details. Your thoughts, intents, language, walking, even breathing are as clear as day to Me. They're either working for Me or against Me. From the second you wake, to the moment you fall asleep, you are either an asset or a liability to the kingdom.
Sometimes in working hard on a project you think will be greatly rewarded but your thoughts and intents are a liability because they lack faith and are filled with defeatist language. There are other days you felt you accomplished nothing but you praised Me with your language, thoughts and walk, which bring great rewards.
As the hosts of heaven and earth watch you, they see you as either light or darkness, good salt or savorless salt. You are either complaining or praising all day long. It was not the big acts of disobedience of the children of Israel that prevent them from entering the promise land. It was the way they thought, walked and talked, everyday for 40 years.
Light needs to do nothing, but walk where there is darkness. Salt has only to mix with the unsavory, to change the taste of life. Every morning grab hold of you mind, begin to praise Me, begin to speak My language, think My thoughts, and reject all negative talk of impurity or defeat, and you will be greatly rewarded for that day no matter how much you seem to accomplish in the physical.
Think eternal not temporal, thinking big is great, but never neglect the tiniest of details, for there is where the victories are won. Giving a cup of cold water, may convert a single life that reaches millions. A single positive life giving word may change a life for eternity.
First walk the talk and then the projects will really count. When people leave your presence are they one step closer to Me or farther away? It all depends on the tiny detail of salt and light, and that is what I the Lord your God will judge by. Before your speak preach My gospel with your presence.
James 1:26-27 (KJV)
If any man among you seem to be religious, and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man's religion is vain. [27] Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world.
Psalm 15:1-5 (AMP)
LORD, WHO shall dwell temporarily in Your tabernacle? Who shall dwell permanently on Your holy hill? [2] He who walks and lives uprightly and blamelessly, who works rightness and justice and speaks and thinks the truth in his heart, [3] He who does not slander with his tongue, nor does evil to his friend, nor takes up a reproach against his neighbor; [4] In whose eyes a vile person is despised, but he who honors those who fear the Lord (who revere and worship Him); who swears to his own hurt and does not change; [5] He who does not put out his money for interest to one of his own people and who will not take a bribe against the innocent. He who does these things shall never be moved.
Proverbs 23:6-9 (AMP)
Eat not the bread of him who has a hard, grudging, and envious eye, neither desire his dainty foods; [7] For as he thinks in his heart, so is he. As one who reckons, he says to you, eat and drink, yet his heart is not with you but is grudging the cost. [8] The morsel which you have eaten you will vomit up, and your complimentary words will be wasted. [9] Speak not in the ears of a self-confident fool, for he will despise the godly Wisdom of your words.
Matthew 5:13-16 (AMP)
You are the salt of the earth, but if salt has lost its taste (its strength, its quality), how can its saltness be restored? It is not good for anything any longer but to be thrown out and trodden underfoot by men. [14] You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden. [15] Nor do men light a lamp and put it under a peck measure, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all in the house. [16] Let your light so shine before men that they may see your moral excellence and your praiseworthy, noble, and good deeds and recognize and honor and praise and glorify your Father Who is in heaven.
Colossians 4:6 (AMP)
Let your speech at all times be gracious (pleasant and winsome), seasoned as it were with salt, so that you may never be at a loss to know how you ought to answer anyone who puts a question to you.
1 Peter 2:12 (AMP)
Conduct yourselves properly (honorably, righteously) among the Gentiles, so that, although they may slander you as evildoers, yet they may by witnessing your good deeds come to glorify God in the day of inspection when God shall look upon you wanderers as a pastor or shepherd looks over his flock.
Ephesians 4:22-32 (AMP)
Strip yourselves of your former nature put off and discard your old unrenewed self which characterized your previous manner of life and becomes corrupt through lusts and desires that spring from delusion; [23] And be constantly renewed in the spirit of your mind having a fresh mental and spiritual attitude, [24] And put on the new nature (the regenerate self) created in God''s image, Godlike in true righteousness and holiness. [25] Therefore, rejecting all falsity and being done now with it, let everyone express the truth with his neighbor, for we are all parts of one body and members one of another. [26] When angry, do not sin; do not ever let your wrath (your exasperation, your fury or indignation) last until the sun goes down. [27] Leave no such room or foothold for the devil give no opportunity to him. [28] Let the thief steal no more, but rather let him be industrious, making an honest living with his own hands, so that he may be able to give to those in need. [29] Let no foul or polluting language, nor evil word nor unwholesome or worthless talk ever come out of your mouth, but only such speech as is good and beneficial to the spiritual progress of others, as is fitting to the need and the occasion, that it may be a blessing and give grace (God''s favor) to those who hear it. [30] And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God do not offend or vex or sadden Him, by Whom you were sealed (marked, branded as God''s own, secured) for the day of redemption (of final deliverance through Christ from evil and the consequences of sin). [31] Let all bitterness and indignation and wrath (passion, rage, bad temper) and resentment (anger, animosity) and quarreling (brawling, clamor, contention) and slander (evil-speaking, abusive or blasphemous language) be banished from you, with all malice (spite, ill will, or baseness of any kind). [32] And become useful and helpful and kind to one another, tenderhearted (compassionate, understanding, loving-hearted), forgiving one another readily and freely, as God in Christ forgave you.
Matthew 10:42 (AMP)
And whoever gives to one of these little ones in rank or influence even a cup of cold water because he is My disciple, surely I declare to you, he shall not lose his reward.

ARE YOU WILLING TO SWEAT BLOOD, HOW DEAD ARE YOU?
ARE YOU WILLING TO SWEAT BLOOD, HOW DEAD ARE YOU?
A single personal ambition is a sign that self still remains. The kingdom position that you desire will require total death to self. The enemy can have no hold at all. Not a single personal ambition can remain when I move you the position of " a manifest son of God. The death that I died to redeem you was complete, there was no life left in Me. When I said, " not My will be done" the death to self took place.
Luke 22:42-45 (AMP)
Saying, Father, if You are willing, remove this cup from Me; yet not My will, but always Yours be done. [43] And there appeared to Him an angel from heaven, strengthening Him in spirit. [44] And being in an agony of mind, He prayed all the more earnestly and intently, and His sweat became like great clots of blood dropping down upon the ground. [45] And when He got up from prayer, He came to the disciples and found them sleeping from grief,
This is where I sweat blood, the level of the elect, demands total death to self. An ambition is a desire to assert ones own agenda and this will guarantee your downfall in the last day battles. The receiving and embracing of a single compliment can be the arrow that strikes a deathblow. All glory goes to Me, I share My glory with no man. When you are totally empty of self, then you are ready filled with My glory.
John 13:16 (AMP)
I assure you, most solemnly I tell you, A servant is not greater than his master, and no one who is sent is superior to the one who sent him.
When you walk with the light of My glory in a dark world then all attention is drawn to that light. It is the light that is drawing, not you. If you are not totally dead you will misinterpret the object of the attention. You will not be able to resist the temptation to take some of the glory. Those who I have selected to carry My glory in great measure sweat the most blood and have the longest desert experiences.
Exodus 3:1-7,10 (KJV)
Now Moses kept the flock of Jethro his father in law, the priest of Midian: and he led the flock to the backside of the desert, and came to the mountain of God, even to Horeb. [2] And the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush: and he looked, and, behold, the bush burned with fire, and the bush was not consumed.
Death to self takes place in the back side of the desert. The anguish that takes place in the soul man is very unpleasant for the moment. Most will refuse it and therefore will not carry My glory in great measure. They will be salt and light but not carriers of My glory in any great measure. Most people can be trusted with some cash in their pocket but few can be trusted to deliver a million dollars of someone else's cash.
2 Timothy 2:20-21 (AMP)
But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and silver, but also utensils of wood and earthenware, and some for honorable and noble use and some for menial and ignoble use. [21] So whoever cleanses himself from what is ignoble and unclean, who separates himself from contact with contaminating and corrupting influences will then himself be a vessel set apart and useful for honorable and noble purposes, consecrated and profitable to the Master, fit and ready for any good work.
The glory is Mine and you are commissioned to carry it to a dark world without touching it. Sweating blood is the result of crucified self will. I died two deaths, one in the garden and one on the hill. One privately and one publicly. One inner and one outer. You are no greater than I, for Me to have the glory of the resurrected life, I had to completely die inside and out.
2 Timothy 2:20-21 (AMP)
But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and silver, but also utensils of wood and earthenware, and some for honorable and noble use and some for menial and ignoble use. [21] So whoever cleanses himself from what is ignoble and unclean, who separates himself from contact with contaminating and corrupting influences will then himself be a vessel set apart and useful for honorable and noble purposes, consecrated and profitable to the Master, fit and ready for any good work.
You do not understand what you ask for, when you ask for "all of Me". It is a very nobel request, but to fill this request you must drink the same cup that I drank of. I can assure you it is worth it because many will be led out of darkness into the marvelous light of His glory. This death process is not a one time thing but a continuous everyday experience.
In times of transition there is a rearranging of things that have been all neat and in order for perhaps years. Everything looks a mess, it is becomes a time of re-evaluation, and cleaning. Throwing out the things that clutter and take up space, things that once were very useful but now just take up space. Learning to rest in Me during these times will help the relocation go faster and smoother.
One of your hardest times will be, when I tell you to throw away something that once was a main pillar or instrument or tradition in your spiritual growth and ministry. Every area that you claim victory in will be re-challenged to see if it is truly dead. This is for your good and for the kingdom, because if it remains alive when you are carrying My glory, it will do great damage.
Matthew 9:17 (KJV)
Neither do men put new wine into old bottles: else the bottles break, and the wine runneth out, and the bottles perish: but they put new wine into new bottles, and both are preserved.
Satan has no authority at all, over you, but if you give him a room in your house you have given him place to rule from and then you have given him authority. Are you willing to sweat blood in order to carry more of My glory to a people in pitch blackness. You will be so glad you did.
Matthew 20:21-23,25-28 (AMP)
And He asked her, What do you wish? She answered Him, Give orders that these two sons of mine may sit, one at Your right hand and one at Your left in Your kingdom. [22] But Jesus replied, You do not realize what you are asking. Are you able to drink the cup that I am about to drink and to be baptized with the baptism with which I am baptized ? They answered, We are able. [23] He said to them, You will drink My cup, but seats at My right hand and at My left are not Mine to give, but they are for those for whom they have been ordained and prepared by My Father. [25] And Jesus called them to Him and said, You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their great men hold them in subjection tyrannizing over them. [26] Not so shall it be among you; but whoever wishes to be great among you must be your servant, [27] And whoever desires to be first among you must be your slave-- [28] Just as the Son of Man came not to be waited on but to serve, and to give His life as a ransom for many the price paid to set them free.
Exodus 3:1-7,10 (KJV)
Now Moses kept the flock of Jethro his father in law, the priest of Midian: and he led the flock to the backside of the desert, and came to the mountain of God, even to Horeb. [2] And the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush: and he looked, and, behold, the bush burned with fire, and the bush was not consumed. [3] And Moses said, I will now turn aside, and see this great sight, why the bush is not burnt. [4] And when the Lord saw that he turned aside to see, God called unto him out of the midst of the bush, and said, Moses, Moses. And he said, Here am I. [5] And he said, Draw not nigh hither: put off thy shoes from off thy feet, for the place whereon thou standest is holy ground. [6] Moreover he said, I am the God of thy father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. And Moses hid his face; for he was afraid to look upon God. [7] And the Lord said, I have surely seen the affliction of my people which are in Egypt, and have heard their cry by reason of their taskmasters; for I know their sorrows; [10] Come now therefore, and I will send thee unto Pharaoh, that thou mayest bring forth my people the children of Israel out of Egypt.
Romans 8:17 (AMP)
And if we are His children, then we are His heirs also: heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ sharing His inheritance with Him; only we must share His suffering if we are to share His glory.
A single personal ambition is a sign that self still remains. The kingdom position that you desire will require total death to self. The enemy can have no hold at all. Not a single personal ambition can remain when I move you the position of " a manifest son of God. The death that I died to redeem you was complete, there was no life left in Me. When I said, " not My will be done" the death to self took place.
Luke 22:42-45 (AMP)
Saying, Father, if You are willing, remove this cup from Me; yet not My will, but always Yours be done. [43] And there appeared to Him an angel from heaven, strengthening Him in spirit. [44] And being in an agony of mind, He prayed all the more earnestly and intently, and His sweat became like great clots of blood dropping down upon the ground. [45] And when He got up from prayer, He came to the disciples and found them sleeping from grief,
This is where I sweat blood, the level of the elect, demands total death to self. An ambition is a desire to assert ones own agenda and this will guarantee your downfall in the last day battles. The receiving and embracing of a single compliment can be the arrow that strikes a deathblow. All glory goes to Me, I share My glory with no man. When you are totally empty of self, then you are ready filled with My glory.
John 13:16 (AMP)
I assure you, most solemnly I tell you, A servant is not greater than his master, and no one who is sent is superior to the one who sent him.
When you walk with the light of My glory in a dark world then all attention is drawn to that light. It is the light that is drawing, not you. If you are not totally dead you will misinterpret the object of the attention. You will not be able to resist the temptation to take some of the glory. Those who I have selected to carry My glory in great measure sweat the most blood and have the longest desert experiences.
Exodus 3:1-7,10 (KJV)
Now Moses kept the flock of Jethro his father in law, the priest of Midian: and he led the flock to the backside of the desert, and came to the mountain of God, even to Horeb. [2] And the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush: and he looked, and, behold, the bush burned with fire, and the bush was not consumed.
Death to self takes place in the back side of the desert. The anguish that takes place in the soul man is very unpleasant for the moment. Most will refuse it and therefore will not carry My glory in great measure. They will be salt and light but not carriers of My glory in any great measure. Most people can be trusted with some cash in their pocket but few can be trusted to deliver a million dollars of someone else's cash.
2 Timothy 2:20-21 (AMP)
But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and silver, but also utensils of wood and earthenware, and some for honorable and noble use and some for menial and ignoble use. [21] So whoever cleanses himself from what is ignoble and unclean, who separates himself from contact with contaminating and corrupting influences will then himself be a vessel set apart and useful for honorable and noble purposes, consecrated and profitable to the Master, fit and ready for any good work.
The glory is Mine and you are commissioned to carry it to a dark world without touching it. Sweating blood is the result of crucified self will. I died two deaths, one in the garden and one on the hill. One privately and one publicly. One inner and one outer. You are no greater than I, for Me to have the glory of the resurrected life, I had to completely die inside and out.
2 Timothy 2:20-21 (AMP)
But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and silver, but also utensils of wood and earthenware, and some for honorable and noble use and some for menial and ignoble use. [21] So whoever cleanses himself from what is ignoble and unclean, who separates himself from contact with contaminating and corrupting influences will then himself be a vessel set apart and useful for honorable and noble purposes, consecrated and profitable to the Master, fit and ready for any good work.
You do not understand what you ask for, when you ask for "all of Me". It is a very nobel request, but to fill this request you must drink the same cup that I drank of. I can assure you it is worth it because many will be led out of darkness into the marvelous light of His glory. This death process is not a one time thing but a continuous everyday experience.
In times of transition there is a rearranging of things that have been all neat and in order for perhaps years. Everything looks a mess, it is becomes a time of re-evaluation, and cleaning. Throwing out the things that clutter and take up space, things that once were very useful but now just take up space. Learning to rest in Me during these times will help the relocation go faster and smoother.
One of your hardest times will be, when I tell you to throw away something that once was a main pillar or instrument or tradition in your spiritual growth and ministry. Every area that you claim victory in will be re-challenged to see if it is truly dead. This is for your good and for the kingdom, because if it remains alive when you are carrying My glory, it will do great damage.
Matthew 9:17 (KJV)
Neither do men put new wine into old bottles: else the bottles break, and the wine runneth out, and the bottles perish: but they put new wine into new bottles, and both are preserved.
Satan has no authority at all, over you, but if you give him a room in your house you have given him place to rule from and then you have given him authority. Are you willing to sweat blood in order to carry more of My glory to a people in pitch blackness. You will be so glad you did.
Matthew 20:21-23,25-28 (AMP)
And He asked her, What do you wish? She answered Him, Give orders that these two sons of mine may sit, one at Your right hand and one at Your left in Your kingdom. [22] But Jesus replied, You do not realize what you are asking. Are you able to drink the cup that I am about to drink and to be baptized with the baptism with which I am baptized ? They answered, We are able. [23] He said to them, You will drink My cup, but seats at My right hand and at My left are not Mine to give, but they are for those for whom they have been ordained and prepared by My Father. [25] And Jesus called them to Him and said, You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their great men hold them in subjection tyrannizing over them. [26] Not so shall it be among you; but whoever wishes to be great among you must be your servant, [27] And whoever desires to be first among you must be your slave-- [28] Just as the Son of Man came not to be waited on but to serve, and to give His life as a ransom for many the price paid to set them free.
Exodus 3:1-7,10 (KJV)
Now Moses kept the flock of Jethro his father in law, the priest of Midian: and he led the flock to the backside of the desert, and came to the mountain of God, even to Horeb. [2] And the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush: and he looked, and, behold, the bush burned with fire, and the bush was not consumed.

Romans 8:17 (AMP)
And if we are His children, then we are His heirs also: heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ sharing His inheritance with Him; only we must share His suffering if we are to share His glory.

DON'T TOUCH THE ALARM
DON'T TOUCH THE ALARM
An alarm is for the purpose of warning, that something needs attention. The most familiar, is a fire alarm. There are tornado warnings, high and low water alarms, temperature alarms, speed alarms, you name it, there is some kind of warning signal every place where a limit may be exceeded and damage or death will occur as a result. Alarms are put in place to motivate a person to act swiftly to make a correction and prevent disaster.
My kingdom has one single alarm that is connected to every possible danger zone in your life. It is so ultra sensitive that the slightest variation from My purpose will set it off. Nothing in My kingdom is more ignored by so many, because it is a very soft sounding alarm. The closer you get to me the more sensitive the alarms become. The alarm sounds the same every time.
It's the voice of My spirit saying a soft, "no" or "yes". When an alarm is ignored it increases in volume by adding negative feeling called conviction. When conviction is ignored you have entered a seriously dangerous territory. When the conviction alarm becomes unbearable, it can be turned off with the tool, called justification. Excuses and reasons are poured over the inner pain, to turn it off.
My alarm is finally silenced in grief. And you walk in deception from that point on. Hidden sin moves to open sin with no remorse and spiritual people are drawn away by My spirit and like minded people replace them to reinforce the deception.
Even the elect and mature saint must be constantly listening for the alarm. The right thing wrong, alarm is the most sensitive of all and the easiest to ignore because the power of reason. Going into forbidden territory to rescue a hurting soul happens very easily, because the passion for souls and the lost can easily move from a spirit motivation to a soul motivation.
Spirit motivation is where I am doing the rescuing and in the soul motivation you are doing the rescuing. In the first I am drawing people to Me in you, but the latter you are using My beauty, to draw them to you. From dust you came and to dust you shall return. You must remember at all times you are nothing without Me and without Me you can do nothing. When it feels so right, but there is a nagging little voice that that disturbs your peace, the alarm has sounded. Stop, look, and listen to My voice.
The red hot passion for Me can be redirected in a unguarded moment by even the most dedicated servant. It can be shifted to a person, place or thing without notice. Because of the strength of your dedication, no one ever questions your motives for anything, so I cannot use the most common alarm, the exhortation or rebuke of body members. But because of My jealousy and your dedication and love and dependency on My presence, it is simple to redirect you back to Me. The simple withdrawing of My presence does it.
Your sensitivity level is so high, that simple conviction devastates you and you run back to My arms where you belong. Never, ever relax your guard, for the enemy counts on that, guard down, moment, and is simply lying in wait for the perfect time to strike. As long as you breath you are always a target and the more of My presence you carry, the higher you move on his priority list, because you are are a real and present danger to him.
Stay very close to Me, My beloved, because the very elect cannot be deceived. The elect are addicted to My presence and need constant contact to be satisfied. In these last days constantly exhort one another and never forsake assembling together for there is protection in numbers.
Galatians 3:3-5 (AMP)
Are you so foolish and so senseless and so silly? Having begun your new life spiritually with the Holy Spirit, are you now reaching perfection by dependence on the flesh? [4] Have you suffered so many things and experienced so much all for nothing (to no purpose)--if it really is to no purpose and in vain? [5] Then does He Who supplies you with His marvelous Holy Spirit and works powerfully and miraculously among you do so on the grounds of your doing what the Law demands, or because of your believing in and adhering to and trusting in and relying on the message that you heard?
Hebrews 10:24-25 (AMP)
And let us consider and give attentive, continuous care to watching over one another, studying how we may stir up (stimulate and incite) to love and helpful deeds and noble activities, [25] Not forsaking or neglecting to assemble together as believers, as is the habit of some people, but admonishing (warning, urging, and encouraging) one another, and all the more faithfully as you see the day approaching.
1 Peter 5:8-11 (AMP)
Be well balanced (temperate, sober of mind), be vigilant and cautious at all times; for that enemy of yours, the devil, roams around like a lion roaring in fierce hunger, seeking someone to seize upon and devour. [9] Withstand him; be firm in faith against his onset--rooted, established, strong, immovable, and determined, knowing that the same (identical) sufferings are appointed to your brotherhood (the whole body of Christians) throughout the world. [10] And after you have suffered a little while, the God of all grace Who imparts all blessing and favor, Who has called you to His own eternal glory in Christ Jesus, will Himself complete and make you what you ought to be, establish and ground you securely, and strengthen, and settle you. [11] To Him be the dominion (power, authority, rule) forever and ever. Amen (so be it).
Galatians 6:1-10 (AMP)
BRETHREN, IF any person is overtaken in misconduct or sin of any sort, you who are spiritual who are responsive to and controlled by the Spirit should set him right and restore and reinstate him, without any sense of superiority and with all gentleness, keeping an attentive eye on yourself, lest you should be tempted also. [2] Bear (endure, carry) one another''s burdens and troublesome moral faults, and in this way fulfill and observe perfectly the law of Christ (the Messiah) and complete what is lacking in your obedience to it. [3] For if any person thinks himself to be somebody too important to condescend to shoulder another''s load when he is nobody of superiority except in his own estimation, he deceives and deludes and cheats himself. [4] But let every person carefully scrutinize and examine and test his own conduct and his own work. He can then have the personal satisfaction and joy of doing something commendable in itself alone without resorting to boastful comparison with his neighbor. [5] For every person will have to bear (be equal to understanding and calmly receive) his own little load of oppressive faults. [6] Let him who receives instruction in the Word of God share all good things with his teacher contributing to his support. [7] Do not be deceived and deluded and misled; God will not allow Himself to be sneered at (scorned, disdained, or mocked by mere pretensions or professions, or by His precepts being set aside.) He inevitably deludes himself who attempts to delude God. For whatever a man sows, that and that only is what he will reap. [8] For he who sows to his own flesh (lower nature, sensuality) will from the flesh reap decay and ruin and destruction, but he who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life. [9] And let us not lose heart and grow weary and faint in acting nobly and doing right, for in due time and at the appointed season we shall reap, if we do not loosen and relax our courage and faint. [10] So then, as occasion and opportunity open up to us, let us do good morally to all people not only being useful or profitable to them, but also doing what is for their spiritual good and advantage. Be mindful to be a blessing, especially to those of the household of faith those who belong to God''s family with you, the believers.

YOU ARE ONLY THE PROPERTY MANAGER AND NO VACANCY MEANS YOU ARE, "SOLD OUT"
NO VACANCY MEANS YOU ARE, "SOLD OUT"
It is very frustrating to drive for miles looking for a motel room and all you see is, "NO VACANCY" or "SOLD OUT". It is even more frustrating to Satan when he is looking a place to rest and sees SOLD OUT written on your heart. Sold out means there is no room left, that you are filled to capacity, every vacant place is filled.
If there's a single room or even a closet for anyone to occupy, you are not yet sold out. When I purchased you I paid for every room and every broom closet. My purchase was final and the contract was signed in blood, My blood. Yet many of you, refuse to kick out the former occupant. You are, as it were, a permanant irreplaceable, property manager, with a life long position. You have full authority over who occupies the property. The property is you, and you do not own yourself, you just manage it and determine who lives there.
If there is any habit, sin or addiction that remains in you, you have not yet sold out to Me. For the kingdom person, selling out is not optional. No portion of darkness will ever be found in the kingdom. Freedom from the power of darkness comes with selling out. I share My building with no one, I am relentless about this.
A little darkness means the enemy has a part of your heart and that's all he needs to pressure you into pushing Me out and giving him the rest. You must understand that he is very serious about occupying your who building, and ultimately destroying it. Be assured that he will, if you allow him a single room. Many who claim to follow Me are not serious, because they knowingly, allow darkness to remain in certain areas of their life.
If you know, that I have all power over sin and darkness and hate it with a passion, there is no reason for darkness to remain in your life, unless you want it there. If you will sell out to Me, all power of sin will be broken and all darkness will be displaced and I will occupy your total being. From that point on, you and I working together, will totally frustrate the devil, as he goes about seeking whom he would devour.
Here is the meaning of, "sold out". Whatever I hate, you hate; what ever I love, you love; whatever I do, you do; whatever I would not do, you do not do; if I am not there, you are not there; if I wouldn't think it, you don't think it. If I wouldn't say it, you won't say it; if I wouldn't look at it, you won't look at it.
It means, you are crazy about Me, and want to spend all your time with Me. You always agree with Me, because you recognize I am perfect and you trust Me with everything. Sold out means, you have given up your dreams, goals, ambitions and plans for your building, in exchange for Mine.
I am finished waiting for property managers to evict their former tenants. I have decided to move to a whole new generation of buildings who will sell out to Me. They do not come with a lukewarm Babylonian church attitude, but they are filled with the same passion that took Me to the cross, the grave, and to hell and back. They detest status quo, despise compromise, and hate the very thought of lukewarm.
When I occupy your total being your power is limitless, there is nothing, you cannot do. I give you authority over every obstacle in life. The signs that you still have a vacancy are, insecurity, frustration, and you are just plain miserable. You seem to take one step forward and two steps back. Joy is momentary at best. You have more questions than answers. You are constantly looking for someone to fill the vacancy.
I bought you with the intention of occupying every single inch of your being, but you are the property manager and you determine who goes and who stays. I will wait until your last day as manager and then we will discuss the matter at judgment. Why don't you just kick him out now, and put up a SOLD OUT SIGN.
1 Corinthians 6:19-20 (AMP)
Do you not know that your body is the temple (the very sanctuary) of the Holy Spirit Who lives within you, Whom you have received as a Gift from God? You are not your own, [20] You were bought with a price purchased with a preciousness and paid for, made His own. So then, honor God and bring glory to Him in your body.
1 Peter 5:8 (AMP)
Be well balanced (temperate, sober of mind), be vigilant and cautious at all times; for that enemy of yours, the devil, roams around like a lion roaring in fierce hunger, seeking someone to seize upon and devour.
Luke 10:26-28 (AMP)
Jesus said to him, What is written in the Law? How do you read it? [27] And he replied, You must love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind; and your neighbor as yourself. [28] And Jesus said to him, You have answered correctly; do this, and you will live enjoy active, blessed, endless life in the kingdom of God.
1 John 1:5 (AMP)
And this is the message the message of promise which we have heard from Him and now are reporting to you: God is Light, and there is no darkness in Him at all no, not in any way.
Romans 14:11-12 (AMP)
For it is written, As I live, says the Lord, every knee shall bow to Me, and every tongue shall confess to God acknowledge Him to His honor and to His praise. [12] And so each of us shall give an account of himself give an answer in reference to judgment to God.
Luke 16:1-3,10-13 (KJV)
And he said also unto his disciples, There was a certain rich man, which had a steward; and the same was accused unto him that he had wasted his goods. [2] And he called him, and said unto him, How is it that I hear this of thee? give an account of thy stewardship; for thou mayest be no longer steward. [3] Then the steward said within himself, What shall I do? for my lord taketh away from me the stewardship: I cannot dig; to beg I am ashamed. [10] He that is faithful in that which is least is faithful also in much: and he that is unjust in the least is unjust also in much. [11] If therefore ye have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true riches ? [12] And if ye have not been faithful in that which is another man's, who shall give you that which is your own? [13] No servant 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.
It is very frustrating to drive for miles looking for a motel room and all you see is, "NO VACANCY" or "SOLD OUT". It is even more frustrating to Satan when he is looking a place to rest and sees SOLD OUT written on your heart. Sold out means there is no room left, that you are filled to capacity, every vacant place is filled.

Whatever I hate, you hate; what ever I love, you love; whatever I do, you do; whatever I would not do, you do not do; if I am not there, you are not there; if I wouldn't think it, you don't think it. If I wouldn't say it, you won't say it; if I wouldn't look at it, you won't look at it.
It means, you are crazy about Me, and want to spend all your time with Me. You always agree with Me, because you recognize I am perfect and you trust Me with everything. Sold out means, you have given up your dreams, goals, ambitions and plans for your building, in exchange for Mine.
I am finished waiting for property managers to evict their former tenants. I have decided to move to a whole new generation of buildings who will sell out to Me. They do not come with a lukewarm Babylonian church attitude, but they are filled with the same passion that took Me to the cross, the grave, and to hell and back. They detest status quo, despise compromise, and hate the very thought of lukewarm.
When I occupy your total being your power is limitless, there is nothing, you cannot do. I give you authority over every obstacle in life. The signs that you still have a vacancy are, insecurity, frustration, and you are just plain miserable. You seem to take one step forward and two steps back. Joy is momentary at best. You have more questions than answers. You are constantly looking for someone to fill the vacancy.
I bought you with the intention of occupying every single inch of your being, but you are the property manager and you determine who goes and who stays. I will wait until your last day as manager and then we will discuss the matter at judgment. Why don't you just kick him out now, and put up a SOLD OUT SIGN.
1 Corinthians 6:19-20 (AMP)
Do you not know that your body is the temple (the very sanctuary) of the Holy Spirit Who lives within you, Whom you have received as a Gift from God? You are not your own, [20] You were bought with a price purchased with a preciousness and paid for, made His own. So then, honor God and bring glory to Him in your body.
1 Peter 5:8 (AMP)
Be well balanced (temperate, sober of mind), be vigilant and cautious at all times; for that enemy of yours, the devil, roams around like a lion roaring in fierce hunger, seeking someone to seize upon and devour.
Luke 10:26-28 (AMP)
Jesus said to him, What is written in the Law? How do you read it? [27] And he replied, You must love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind; and your neighbor as yourself. [28] And Jesus said to him, You have answered correctly; do this, and you will live enjoy active, blessed, endless life in the kingdom of God.
1 John 1:5 (AMP)
And this is the message the message of promise which we have heard from Him and now are reporting to you: God is Light, and there is no darkness in Him at all no, not in any way.
Romans 14:11-12 (AMP)
For it is written, As I live, says the Lord, every knee shall bow to Me, and every tongue shall confess to God acknowledge Him to His honor and to His praise. [12] And so each of us shall give an account of himself give an answer in reference to judgment to God.
Luke 16:1-3,10-13 (KJV)
And he said also unto his disciples, There was a certain rich man, which had a steward; and the same was accused unto him that he had wasted his goods. [2] And he called him, and said unto him, How is it that I hear this of thee? give an account of thy stewardship; for thou mayest be no longer steward. [3] Then the steward said within himself, What shall I do? for my lord taketh away from me the stewardship: I cannot dig; to beg I am ashamed. [10] He that is faithful in that which is least is faithful also in much: and he that is unjust in the least is unjust also in much. [11] If therefore ye have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true riches ? [12] And if ye have not been faithful in that which is another man's, who shall give you that which is your own? [13] No servant 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.

THE GRAVITATIONAL PULL OF LOVE!!!
THE GRAVITATIONAL PULL OF LOVE!!!
Nothing in existence can defeat the power of My love. There is a drawing power of trust that makes the strongest and toughest of men search the depths of their heart for truth. Love demands truth to provide a solid foundation, and truth depends on love to keep it from destroying those it challenges.
Love without truth is no more than wishful thinking, destined to end in heartbreak. Truth without love is a hard taskmaster, ultimately extinguishing hope by crushing the burning ember and the smoking flax. Love leads and truth follows. You cannot receive My truth unless you have experienced My love. Do not speak truth to someone unless you have shown them My love first.
If they don't like you, make them love you, by loving them in action, with the hope of establishing a platform from which you can speak truth into their lives. Truth that is designed to set them free. If they won't receive love, they surely won't receive truth. Love breaks down walls and establishes a pathway of trust, for truth to travel on. Do not attempt to speak truth into someone's life unless you have first washed their feet.
Truth spoken from a balcony, goes over peoples heads, but Truth spoken from a kneeling position is gut level and very easy to receive. You cannot love anyone without abiding in Me. You may have strong feeling for them, but I am love and without Me all you have is an emotional feeling that can only last as long as there is a positive return. Emotional feeling always ask the unspoken flesh question, "what's in this for me".
Speaking truth while you are serving, tastes like honey, but speaking truth while you are being served, has the taste of vinegar. You must earn the right to speak into someone's life, serving them in love will eventually earn you that right. The longer you serve the greater the trust, the greater the trust, the deeper the truth can penetrate and completely change a destiny.
Do not concentrate on loving people, it is a futile attempt at the impossible. If you do not have love, how foolish to think you can give it away. Put all your concentration, on me and you will find, love oozing out of every pour of your being. You will begin to draw people without knowing it. My love draws and if you are saturated with My love they will be drawn and want to hang around you, soaking up as much of My love as they can.
Never make the mistake of thinking that it is you they are are drawn too. If you do, you will see them disappear faster than than came, because your love is not love at all but an emotion that would rather be served than to serve. It is time to fully concentrate on Me and watch what happens, I promise you I will change your world.
Proverbs 16:5-7 (AMP)
Everyone proud and arrogant in heart is disgusting, hateful, and exceedingly offensive to the Lord; be assured I pledge it they will not go unpunished. [6] By mercy and love, truth and fidelity to God and man--not by sacrificial offerings, iniquity is purged out of the heart, and by the reverent, worshipful fear of the Lord men depart from and avoid evil. [7] When a man''s ways please the Lord, He makes even his enemies to be at peace with him.
Psalm 85:10 (AMP)
Mercy and loving-kindness and truth have met together; righteousness and peace have kissed each other.
Ephesians 4:15 (AMP)
Rather, let our lives lovingly express truth in all things, speaking truly, dealing truly, living truly. Enfolded in love, let us grow up in every way and in all things into Him Who is the Head, even Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One).
Matthew 20:27-28 (KJV)
And whosoever will be chief among you, let him be your servant: [28] Even as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.
Galatians 5:13-14 (AMP)
For you, brethren, were indeed called to freedom; only do not let your freedom be an incentive to your flesh and an opportunity or excuse for selfishness, but through love you should serve one another. [14] For the whole Law concerning human relationships is complied with in the one precept, You shall love your neighbor as you do yourself.
2 Corinthians 3:6 (KJV)
Who also hath made us able ministers of the new testament; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life.
John 15:4-13 (AMP)
Dwell in Me, and I will dwell in you. Live in Me, and I will live in you. Just as no branch can bear fruit of itself without abiding in (being vitally united to) the vine, neither can you bear fruit unless you abide in Me. [5] I am the Vine; you are the branches. Whoever lives in Me and I in him bears much (abundant) fruit. However, apart from Me cut off from vital union with Me you can do nothing. [6] If a person does not dwell in Me, he is thrown out like a broken-off branch, and withers; such branches are gathered up and thrown into the fire, and they are burned. [7] If you live in Me abide vitally united to Me and My words remain in you and continue to live in your hearts, ask whatever you will, and it shall be done for you. [8] When you bear (produce) much fruit, My Father is honored and glorified, and you show and prove yourselves to be true followers of Mine. [9] I have loved you, just as the Father has loved Me; abide in My love continue in His love with Me. [10] If you keep My commandments if you continue to obey My instructions, you will abide in My love and live on in it, just as I have obeyed My Father''s commandments and live on in His love. [11] I have told you these things, that My joy and delight may be in you, and that your joy and gladness may be of full measure and complete and overflowing. [12] This is My commandment: that you love one another just as I have loved you. [13] No one has greater love no one has shown stronger affection than to lay down (give up) his own life for his friends.
Proverbs 25:11,14-15,19,21-22,26 (AMP)
A word fitly spoken and in due season is like apples of gold in settings of silver. [14] Whoever falsely boasts of gifts he does not give is like clouds and wind without rain. [15] By long forbearance and calmness of spirit a judge or ruler is persuaded, and soft speech breaks down the most bonelike resistance. [19] Confidence in an unfaithful man in time of trouble is like a broken tooth or a foot out of joint. [21] If your enemy is hungry, give him bread to eat; and if he is thirsty, give him water to drink; [22] For in doing so, you will heap coals of fire upon his head, and the Lord will reward you. [26] Like a muddied fountain and a polluted spring is a righteous man who yields, falls down, and compromises his integrity before the wicked.

THE DESPERATION DIPLOMA, FROM MY SCHOOL OF DESTITUTION
THE DESPERATION DIPLOMA, FROM MY SCHOOL OF DESTITUTION
All true kingdom people have the potential of walking, a life of perfect peace. I have a perfect plan for every resident of My kingdom. At the center of My perfect plan is a perfect peace that is desired by every human on earth. When you know that your creator is totally satisfied with your, day to day walk, your spirit feels a noticeable fulfillment. When fulfillment reaches capacity, a state of perfect peace is reached. Total fulfillment is reached when My ultimate purpose for your birth is being accomplished.
When you reach this point nothing will ever be able to pull you away because you there is no higher than perfect peace. Life without My peace is a miserable life, never being quite sure of your purpose or destiny. My peace will take you through fiery trials with joy. There is no such thing as peace without My joy. My peace cuts through all circumstances leaving a clear witness, as an example for all to follow.
Finding the path to My peace is difficult in the western world, because of the abundance of things. Material goods give a false peace that has deceived Most of the western believers. They are happy and seemingly peaceful when money is available, but they always question My purpose for their existence. Those whom I have called, are doubly miserable, knowing there is a life of perfect peace, yet they are still searching through the garbage dumps of material goods and position.
This is where I become personally involved in every detail of their search, I cause the natural supplies to dry up. I cut off natural sources of supply, which becomes a very dark valley for My chosen ones. I cause people close to them to not notice their pain. This is the only way I can move them to a place of total dependence on Me. The only purpose, is to cause them to run to the secret place with Me.
When they come to the realization that all natural sources are beyond reach, and there are no more backup plans, in their desperation, they will truly reach for Me, creating a lifestyle of living in the prayer closet. I never take away unless it is for the purpose of giving something better. Until you reach the point of total trust and reliance on Me, your life will be void of miracles. Until you reach the hopeless state you will never let go of the arm of flesh. Only total desperation will bring you to the high calling I have planned for you.
This place is so high that the enemy will put you on his most wanted list, because you will undermine his strongholds, turning his own against him. The life of peace that I have for you will make you very dangerous to the kingdom of darkness. Where thousands fear to walk, you will not hesitate to enter, because perfect peace has erased all fear. You will know that fire cannot burn you, water cannot drown you, and lack cannot stop you.
You will hold the highly coveted desperation diploma, from My school of destitution. You made it all the way to the bottom without loosing your confidence in Me. Your natural desperation has turned into a spiritual desperation for Me. This is the reason for all your valleys. For years I have heard you cry, "WHY GOD". In the western world it's a very long journey to the bottom because there are so many natural things to grab on to, to bring yourself back up. When perfect peace enters your soul, you will have the answer and you will say, "it was worth it all".
The saying, "god helps those who help themselves", is not from Me. I only help those who stop helping themselves, and say, "Father if you don't take over I am a dead man, I have no way to save Myself." On your journey to the bottom, thank Me for every closed door for I am speeding up the process, for it is at the very bottom, you will find the door to your high calling in Christ Jesus, and the prize of perfect peace that the whole world covets. I am waiting for you at the bottom, My chosen one.
Psalm 40:1-8 (AMP)
I WAITED patiently and expectantly for the Lord; and He inclined to me and heard my cry. [2] He drew me up out of a horrible pit a pit of tumult and of destruction, out of the miry clay (froth and slime), and set my feet upon a rock, steadying my steps and establishing my goings. [3] And He has put a new song in my mouth, a song of praise to our God. Many shall see and fear (revere and worship) and put their trust and confident reliance in the Lord. [4] Blessed (happy, fortunate, to be envied) is the man who makes the Lord his refuge and trust, and turns not to the proud or to followers of false gods. [5] Many, O Lord my God, are the wonderful works which You have done, and Your thoughts toward us; no one can compare with You! If I should declare and speak of them, they are too many to be numbered. [6] Sacrifice and offering You do not desire, nor have You delight in them; You have given me the capacity to hear and obey Your law, a more valuable service than burnt offerings and sin offerings which You do not require. [7] Then said I, Behold, I come; in the volume of the book it is written of me; [8] I delight to do Your will, O my God; yes, Your law is within my heart.
John 13:4-10 (AMP)
Got up from supper, took off His garments, and taking a servant''s towel, He fastened it around His waist. [5] Then He poured water into the washbasin and began to wash the disciples'' feet and to wipe them with the servant''s towel with which He was girded. [6] When He came to Simon Peter, Peter said to Him, Lord, are my feet to be washed by You? Is it for You to wash my feet? [7] Jesus said to him, You do not understand now what I am doing, but you will understand later on. [8] Peter said to Him, You shall never wash my feet! Jesus answered him, Unless I wash you, you have no part with (in) Me you have no share in companionship with Me. [9] Simon Peter said to Him, Lord, wash not only my feet, but my hands and my head too! [10] Jesus said to him, Anyone who has bathed needs only to wash his feet, but is clean all over. And you My disciples are clean, but not all of you.
Romans 8:38-39 (AMP)
For I am persuaded beyond doubt (am sure) that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities, nor things impending and threatening nor things to come, nor powers, [39] Nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation will be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Psalm 79:8-9 (AMP)
O do not earnestly remember against us the iniquities and guilt of our forefathers! Let Your compassion and tender mercy speedily come to meet us, for we are brought very low. [9] Help us, O God of our salvation, for the glory of Your name! Deliver us, forgive us, and purge away our sins for Your name''s sake.
Psalm 30:1-12 (AMP)
I WILL extol You, O Lord, for You have lifted me up and have not let my foes rejoice over me. [2] O Lord my God, I cried to You and You have healed me. [3] O Lord, You have brought my life up from Sheol (the place of the dead); You have kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit (the grave). [4] Sing to the Lord, O you saints of His, and give thanks at the remembrance of His holy name. [5] For His anger is but for a moment, but His favor is for a lifetime or in His favor is life. Weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning. [6] As for me, in my prosperity I said, I shall never be moved. [7] By Your favor, O Lord, You have established me as a strong mountain; You hid Your face, and I was troubled. [8] I cried to You, O Lord, and to the Lord I made supplication. [9] What profit is there in my blood, when I go down to the pit (the grave)? Will the dust praise You? Will it declare Your truth and faithfulness to men? [10] Hear, O Lord, have mercy and be gracious to me! O Lord, be my helper! [11] You have turned my mourning into dancing for me; You have put off my sackcloth and girded me with gladness, [12] To the end that my tongue and my heart and everything glorious within me may sing praise to You and not be silent. O Lord my God, I will give thanks to You forever.
Psalm 23:4 (KJV)
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
Psalm 102:16-28 (KJV)
When the Lord shall build up Zion, he shall appear in his glory. [17] He will regard the prayer of the destitute, and not despise their prayer. [18] This shall be written for the generation to come: and the people which shall be created shall praise the Lord . [19] For he hath looked down from the height of his sanctuary; from heaven did the Lord behold the earth; [20] To hear the groaning of the prisoner; to loose those that are appointed to death; [21] To declare the name of the Lord in Zion, and his praise in Jerusalem; [22] When the people are gathered together, and the kingdoms, to serve the Lord . [23] He weakened my strength in the way; he shortened my days. [24] I said, O my God, take me not away in the midst of my days: thy years are throughout all generations. [25] Of old hast thou laid the foundation of the earth: and the heavens are the work of thy hands. [26] They shall perish, but thou shalt endure: yea, all of them shall wax old like a garment; as a vesture shalt thou change them, and they shall be changed: [27] But thou art the same, and thy years shall have no end. [28] The children of thy servants shall continue, and their seed shall be established before thee.
Luke 6:20-23 (AMP)
And solemnly lifting up His eyes on His disciples, He said: Blessed (happy--with life-joy and satisfaction in God''s favor and salvation, apart from your outward condition--and to be envied) are you poor and lowly and afflicted (destitute of wealth, influence, position, and honor), for the kingdom of God is yours! [21] Blessed (happy--with life-joy and satisfaction in God''s favor and salvation, apart from your outward condition--and to be envied) are you who hunger and seek with eager desire now, for you shall be filled and completely satisfied! Blessed (happy--with life-joy and satisfaction in God''s favor and salvation, apart from your outward condition--and to be envied) are you who weep and sob now, for you shall laugh! [22] Blessed (happy--with life-joy and satisfaction in God''s favor and salvation, apart from your outward condition--and to be envied) are you when people despise (hate) you, and when they exclude and excommunicate you as disreputable and revile and denounce you and defame and cast out and spurn your name as evil (wicked) on account of the Son of Man. [23] Rejoice and be glad at such a time and exult and leap for joy, for behold, your reward is rich and great and strong and intense and abundant in heaven; for even so their forefathers treated the prophets.
All true kingdom people have the potential of walking, a life of perfect peace. I have a perfect plan for every resident of My kingdom. At the center of My perfect plan is a perfect peace that is desired by every human on earth. When you know that your creator is totally satisfied with your, day to day walk, your spirit feels a noticeable fulfillment. When fulfillment reaches capacity, a state of perfect peace is reached.

[3] And He has put a new song in my mouth, a song of praise to our God. Many shall see and fear (revere and worship) and put their trust and confident reliance in the Lord. [4] Blessed (happy, fortunate, to be envied) is the man who makes the Lord his refuge and trust, and turns not to the proud or to followers of false gods. [5] Many, O Lord my God, are the wonderful works which You have done, and Your thoughts toward us; no one can compare with You! If I should declare and speak of them, they are too many to be numbered. [6] Sacrifice and offering You do not desire, nor have You delight in them; You have given me the capacity to hear and obey Your law, a more valuable service than burnt offerings and sin offerings which You do not require. [7] Then said I, Behold, I come; in the volume of the book it is written of me; [8] I delight to do Your will, O my God; yes, Your law is within my heart.
John 13:4-10 (AMP)
Got up from supper, took off His garments, and taking a servant''s towel, He fastened it around His waist. [5] Then He poured water into the washbasin and began to wash the disciples'' feet and to wipe them with the servant''s towel with which He was girded. [6] When He came to Simon Peter, Peter said to Him, Lord, are my feet to be washed by You? Is it for You to wash my feet? [7] Jesus said to him, You do not understand now what I am doing, but you will understand later on. [8] Peter said to Him, You shall never wash my feet! Jesus answered him, Unless I wash you, you have no part with (in) Me you have no share in companionship with Me. [9] Simon Peter said to Him, Lord, wash not only my feet, but my hands and my head too! [10] Jesus said to him, Anyone who has bathed needs only to wash his feet, but is clean all over. And you My disciples are clean, but not all of you.
Romans 8:38-39 (AMP)
For I am persuaded beyond doubt (am sure) that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities, nor things impending and threatening nor things to come, nor powers, [39] Nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation will be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Psalm 79:8-9 (AMP)
O do not earnestly remember against us the iniquities and guilt of our forefathers! Let Your compassion and tender mercy speedily come to meet us, for we are brought very low. [9] Help us, O God of our salvation, for the glory of Your name! Deliver us, forgive us, and purge away our sins for Your name''s sake.
Psalm 30:1-12 (AMP)
I WILL extol You, O Lord, for You have lifted me up and have not let my foes rejoice over me. [2] O Lord my God, I cried to You and You have healed me. [3] O Lord, You have brought my life up from Sheol (the place of the dead); You have kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit (the grave). [4] Sing to the Lord, O you saints of His, and give thanks at the remembrance of His holy name. [5] For His anger is but for a moment, but His favor is for a lifetime or in His favor is life. Weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning. [6] As for me, in my prosperity I said, I shall never be moved. [7] By Your favor, O Lord, You have established me as a strong mountain; You hid Your face, and I was troubled. [8] I cried to You, O Lord, and to the Lord I made supplication. [9] What profit is there in my blood, when I go down to the pit (the grave)? Will the dust praise You? Will it declare Your truth and faithfulness to men? [10] Hear, O Lord, have mercy and be gracious to me! O Lord, be my helper! [11] You have turned my mourning into dancing for me; You have put off my sackcloth and girded me with gladness, [12] To the end that my tongue and my heart and everything glorious within me may sing praise to You and not be silent. O Lord my God, I will give thanks to You forever.
Psalm 23:4 (KJV)
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
Psalm 102:16-28 (KJV)
When the Lord shall build up Zion, he shall appear in his glory. [17] He will regard the prayer of the destitute, and not despise their prayer. [18] This shall be written for the generation to come: and the people which shall be created shall praise the Lord . [19] For he hath looked down from the height of his sanctuary; from heaven did the Lord behold the earth; [20] To hear the groaning of the prisoner; to loose those that are appointed to death; [21] To declare the name of the Lord in Zion, and his praise in Jerusalem; [22] When the people are gathered together, and the kingdoms, to serve the Lord . [23] He weakened my strength in the way; he shortened my days. [24] I said, O my God, take me not away in the midst of my days: thy years are throughout all generations. [25] Of old hast thou laid the foundation of the earth: and the heavens are the work of thy hands. [26] They shall perish, but thou shalt endure: yea, all of them shall wax old like a garment; as a vesture shalt thou change them, and they shall be changed: [27] But thou art the same, and thy years shall have no end. [28] The children of thy servants shall continue, and their seed shall be established before thee.
Luke 6:20-23 (AMP)
And solemnly lifting up His eyes on His disciples, He said: Blessed (happy--with life-joy and satisfaction in God''s favor and salvation, apart from your outward condition--and to be envied) are you poor and lowly and afflicted (destitute of wealth, influence, position, and honor), for the kingdom of God is yours! [21] Blessed (happy--with life-joy and satisfaction in God''s favor and salvation, apart from your outward condition--and to be envied) are you who hunger and seek with eager desire now, for you shall be filled and completely satisfied! Blessed (happy--with life-joy and satisfaction in God''s favor and salvation, apart from your outward condition--and to be envied) are you who weep and sob now, for you shall laugh! [22] Blessed (happy--with life-joy and satisfaction in God''s favor and salvation, apart from your outward condition--and to be envied) are you when people despise (hate) you, and when they exclude and excommunicate you as disreputable and revile and denounce you and defame and cast out and spurn your name as evil (wicked) on account of the Son of Man. [23] Rejoice and be glad at such a time and exult and leap for joy, for behold, your reward is rich and great and strong and intense and abundant in heaven; for even so their forefathers treated the prophets.

CASUAL INTIMACY
CASUAL INTIMACY
The boring christian life stems from the lack of zeal. Any marriage where the couple are occasionally intimate is one that is in a weakened state. The world is filled with unfaithful spouses, if not unfaithful in action they are unfaithful in mind. This practice is at epidemic proportions western Christianity. No serious spouse would allow their partner to have a little affair here and a little intimacy there, even for a single day.
Red hot passion and unconditional love cement a lifelong relationship together. Your relationship with Me must be constantly compared to a marriage. So many are cheating on Me but the major difference is, I know it before they do it. Many are committing spiritual adultery in their minds constantly. When your thoughts are not My thoughts you are adulterous in your mind.
When your thinking the way the god of this world thinks, you are having a affair with him. This type of thinking impregnates you with worldly desire. Soon a full-blown affair will occur and I am aware of every painful detail. A little lie, a little lust, a lot of flirting, ignoring Me, no interest in intimacy, to busy for the secret place, are all signs you are pregnant by another god. When this is the case, I know you will soon walk out on Me.
I will always love you and be a faithful God to you. I will always take you back. Night and day I will call to you, hoping for your return. You will suffer greatly, but not because of Me. Your new love is very abusive, he hates your guts, he's seeking ways to kill you, while he's telling how much he loves you. He has never loved you because he is void of love. From the moment he met you, his passion was to see you burn in hell.
If you return to Me I will wash his filth off you, I will dress you in new garments of My glory and most of all I will never mention your affair, ever, because I will have forgotten it. When you are passionately in love with Me, everything in your world is meaningful and exciting. From morning till nightfall, My love spills out of you, changing everyone you meet. Our relationship will be so cemented together, that every spare moment will be spent in intimacy in the closet of prayer.
We will talk to each other all day long, as you move about in your daily tasks. I will never leave you for a moment. My jealousy for you will make our love sweeter because I will not hold back any good thing from you. I plead with you to stop every mental affair and give Me your whole heart and I will give you a new passion for Me that will make every moment of your existence totally fulfilled.
Exodus 34:14-15 (KJV)
For thou shalt worship no other god: for the Lord , whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God: [15] Lest thou make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land, and they go a whoring after their gods, and do sacrifice unto their gods, and one call thee, and thou eat of his sacrifice;
Mark 12:29-30 (AMP)
Jesus answered, The first and principal one of all commands is: Hear, O Israel, The Lord our God is one Lord; [30] And you shall love the Lord your God out of and with your whole heart and out of and with all your soul (your life) and out of and with all your mind (with your faculty of thought and your moral understanding) and out of and with all your strength. This is the first and principal commandment.
James 1:12 (AMP)
Blessed (happy, to be envied) is the man who is patient under trial and stands up under temptation, for when he has stood the test and been approved, he will receive the victor''s crown of life which God has promised to those who love Him.
James 1:13-17,21-22 (AMP)
Let no one say when he is tempted, I am tempted from God; for God is incapable of being tempted by what is evil and He Himself tempts no one. [14] But every person is tempted when he is drawn away, enticed and baited by his own evil desire (lust, passions). [15] Then the evil desire, when it has conceived, gives birth to sin, and sin, when it is fully matured, brings forth death. [16] Do not be misled, my beloved brethren. [17] Every good gift and every perfect (free, large, full) gift is from above; it comes down from the Father of all that gives light, in the shining of Whom there can be no variation rising or setting or shadow cast by His turning as in an eclipse. [21] So get rid of all uncleanness and the rampant outgrowth of wickedness, and in a humble (gentle, modest) spirit receive and welcome the Word which implanted and rooted in your hearts contains the power to save your souls. [22] But be doers of the Word obey the message, and not merely listeners to it, betraying yourselves into deception by reasoning contrary to the Truth.
2 Corinthians 10:4-6 (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), [6] Being in readiness to punish every insubordinate for his disobedience, when your own submission and obedience as a church are fully secured and complete.
John 15:5-21 (AMP)
I am the Vine; you are the branches. Whoever lives in Me and I in him bears much (abundant) fruit. However, apart from Me cut off from vital union with Me you can do nothing. [6] If a person does not dwell in Me, he is thrown out like a broken-off branch, and withers; such branches are gathered up and thrown into the fire, and they are burned. [7] If you live in Me abide vitally united to Me and My words remain in you and continue to live in your hearts, ask whatever you will, and it shall be done for you. [8] When you bear (produce) much fruit, My Father is honored and glorified, and you show and prove yourselves to be true followers of Mine. [9] I have loved you, just as the Father has loved Me; abide in My love continue in His love with Me. [10] If you keep My commandments if you continue to obey My instructions, you will abide in My love and live on in it, just as I have obeyed My Father''s commandments and live on in His love. [11] I have told you these things, that My joy and delight may be in you, and that your joy and gladness may be of full measure and complete and overflowing. [12] This is My commandment: that you love one another just as I have loved you. [13] No one has greater love no one has shown stronger affection than to lay down (give up) his own life for his friends. [14] You are My friends if you keep on doing the things which I command you to do. [15] I do not call you servants (slaves) any longer, for the servant does not know what his master is doing (working out). But I have called you My friends, because I have made known to you everything that I have heard from My Father. I have revealed to you everything that I have learned from Him. [16] You have not chosen Me, but I have chosen you and I have appointed you I have planted you, that you might go and bear fruit and keep on bearing, and that your fruit may be lasting that it may remain, abide, so that whatever you ask the Father in My Name as presenting all that I AM, He may give it to you. [17] This is what I command you: that you love one another. [18] If the world hates you, know that it hated Me before it hated you. [19] If you belonged to the world, the world would treat you with affection and would love you as its own. But because you are not of the world no longer one with it, but I have chosen (selected) you out of the world, the world hates (detests) you. [20] Remember that I told you, A servant is not greater than his master is not superior to him. If they persecuted Me, they will also persecute you; if they kept My word and obeyed My teachings, they will also keep and obey yours. [21] But they will do all this to you inflict all this suffering on you because of your bearing My name and on My account, for they do not know or understand the One Who sent Me.
