HIS MAJESTY'S KINGDOM HEALTH PLAN
I have been offering this plan for thousands of years and have never made a single amendment to it. The price has never changed, 100 % trust, paid every second. Do not check out the fine print, because none exists. The plan is backed by limitless and never ending Kingdom resources. All benefits and claims are paid immediately, most are paid before any incident occurs, in order to prevent the occurrence.
If you want to enroll please check the balance in your faith account, 100 % is highly recommended. Check your love for the King, first place is required. Finally, strict obedience to the King is a must. Disobedience may void all or part of this policy at the time of occurrence, however it will be reinstated the moment repentance occurs. Sign and date it in your heart, and it will be recorded in the Kingdom offices. By the way we have been open 24/7 since Adam needed a policy, and will remain open until the earth melts.
Here the plan I am offering:
Psalm 91:1-16 (AMP)
HE WHO dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall remain stable and fixed under the shadow of the Almighty Whose power no foe can withstand. [2] I will say of the Lord, He is my Refuge and my Fortress, my God; on Him I lean and rely, and in Him I confidently trust! [3] For then He will deliver you from the snare of the fowler and from the deadly pestilence. [4] Then He will cover you with His pinions, and under His wings shall you trust and find refuge; His truth and His faithfulness are a shield and a buckler. [5] You shall not be afraid of the terror of the night, nor of the arrow (the evil plots and slanders of the wicked) that flies by day, [6] Nor of the pestilence that stalks in darkness, nor of the destruction and sudden death that surprise and lay waste at noonday. [7] A thousand may fall at your side, and ten thousand at your right hand, but it shall not come near you. [8] Only a spectator shall you be yourself inaccessible in the secret place of the Most High as you witness the reward of the wicked. [9] Because you have made the Lord your refuge, and the Most High your dwelling place, [10] There shall no evil befall you, nor any plague or calamity come near your tent. [11] For He will give His angels especial charge over you to accompany and defend and preserve you in all your ways of obedience and service. [12] They shall bear you up on their hands, lest you dash your foot against a stone. [13] You shall tread upon the lion and adder; the young lion and the serpent shall you trample underfoot. [14] Because he has set his love upon Me, therefore will I deliver him; I will set him on high, because he knows and understands My name has a personal knowledge of My mercy, love, and kindness--trusts and relies on Me, knowing I will never forsake him, no, never. [15] He shall call upon Me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble, I will deliver him and honor him. [16] With long life will I satisfy him and show him My salvation.

HOLD MY HAND IN THE GOOD TIMES
HOLD MY HAND IN THE GOOD TIMES
When the coast is clear and there is nothing but open fields in front, a child will let go of daddy's hand and run ahead. This is good and safe in the natural world, but not in the spiritual. When a crisis is over, many of My children will let go of My hand and run ahead, directly into another crisis, repeating it over and over throughout their lifetime.
In the spiritual world the field is your tomorrow and it sometimes it looks beautiful. However it is also a minefield, filled with traps and pitfalls that I am very aware of. For this very reason, I have a plan for your every step. You can never afford to let go of My hand, even when the sun bright and the field is filled with flowers. The enemy sets My children up with by luring them with light.
The children of Israel would only hold My hand when they were in deep trouble with their enemies. I am love and My love always trumps My knowledge. I knew that their repentance would only be temporary and they would repeat their sin, but My love still took their hand again and again.
Even when you try to do something nice and thoughtful, it will turn out wrong, if you do not ask Me how to do it first. The enemy is constantly seeking to devour you, thus anything you do on the spur of the moment without Me, will turn out wrong. You must understand that when you choose to sell out to Me, you become a prime target for the enemy.
Every time I bless you he will do his best to take it away. At every time of advance, you can be sure he will try to set you back. With every blessing you need to get closer to Me, because you need My protection that much more. The more I bless you, the more dangerous you become to his kingdom, and the higher on the list of most wanted you go.
When you come to the conclusion that you cannot walk, talk, or breath without holding My hand, I will be able to guide your every step, and make every step successful. Never ever start a day without spending quality time with Me first. When you do, you have chosen to start, without holding My hand. You will not see the mines in the field because you have chosen to walk by sight, instead of faith.
Even if your day appears successful, you stepped backward in the kingdom. Always hold My hand and never let go.
Psalm 37:23 (KJV)
The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord : and he delighteth in his way.
John 15:5 (KJV)
I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.
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.
Psalm 61:1-5 (AMP)
HEAR MY cry, O God; listen to my prayer. [2] From the end of the earth will I cry to You, when my heart is overwhelmed and fainting; lead me to the rock that is higher than I yes, a rock that is took high for me. [3] For You have been a shelter and a refuge for me, a strong tower against the adversary. [4] I will dwell in Your tabernacle forever; let me find refuge and trust in the shelter of Your wings. Selah pause, and calmly think of that! [5] For You, O God, have heard my vows; You have given me the heritage of those who fear, revere, and honor Your name.

NOT EVEN A BUMP
NOT EVEN A BUMP
Man always thinks he is more important than he really is. All of life tends to move to center stage as time moves on. Moving into adult hood the common attitude of, it's all about me, takes over. Deep inside is the feeling that,"if I die the world will go into mourning and never be the same.
The hard cold facts are, you won't even make a bump in the road. Trains, boats, cars and planes will run as usual. Banks will open, postal service and retailers will keep pace and the party will go on without you. There will be a few mentions of your name, like, "too bad about so-n-so isn't it"? Would you care for another drink"? As a matter a fact you are so insignificant on earth, you will not even attend your own funeral.
Unless you have reached a national or world recognition status, except for a possible few hundred people, your passing will not even be mentioned. A few days of sadness will be experienced for some and maybe one person will never be the same without you, but you must realize you are not a big deal on earth.
Here in My kingdom it is very different, you as a soul are more valuable that the whole world. I see My creation of the human soul as the most beautiful work in existence, and you are part of that creation. Your value continually goes up as you allow Me to build My character in you. Eternal beings are valued by their longevity, therefore every born again soul is more valuable than the whole physical world.
When the earth is nothing but a cinder, you will remain a living soul. With the earth being non-existent, now reconsider your value. Why do you spend so much time trying to impress a world that will never even know you left. Focus your attention here in the eternal kingdom where you really count. Focus your time, your money, your thoughts and your physical energy here, where you never loose your reward.
Keep your mind fixed on Me, and you will see that it's not all about you anymore but it's about Me. Your value system will completely change and the world will be baffled at your lack of interest in the things they deem of utmost value. Every offer they make will be weighed on kingdom scales and it's value will drop to zero. Material goods have zero value here in the kingdom, so the more you focus on the kingdom, the faster their value drops.
When all material goods have reached zero value, you are in the kingdom. The things you wear, the car you drive, the food you eat and the money you make, only have value as long as they are tools, used to do kingdom business on earth.
If you are a wise master builder, you will not waste another single moment trying to impress a world that identifies you with a number and considers you expendable. Be smart focus everything up here and eternally increase your eternal value.
Matthew 16:26 (AMP)
For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world and forfeits his life his blessed life in the kingdom of God? Or what would a man give as an exchange for his blessed life in the kingdom of God?
John 12:43-45 (AMP)
For they loved the approval and the praise and the glory that come from men instead of and more than the glory that comes from God. They valued their credit with men more than their credit with God. [44] But Jesus loudly declared, The one who believes in Me does not only believe in and trust in and rely on Me, but in believing in Me he believes in Him Who sent Me. [45] And whoever sees Me sees Him Who sent Me.
Matthew 10:28-33 (AMP)
And do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul; but rather be afraid of Him who can destroy both soul and body in hell (Gehenna). [29] Are not two little sparrows sold for a penny? And yet not one of them will fall to the ground without your Father''s leave (consent) and notice. [30] But even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. [31] Fear not, then; you are of more value than many sparrows. [32] Therefore, everyone who acknowledges Me before men and confesses Me out of a state of oneness with Me, I will also acknowledge him before My Father Who is in heaven and confess that I am abiding in him. [33] But whoever denies and disowns Me before men, I also will deny and disown him before My Father Who is in heaven.
1 Peter 1:24 (KJV)
For all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and the flower thereof falleth away:
1 Peter 1:23-24 (AMP)
You have been regenerated (born again), not from a mortal origin (seed, sperm), but from one that is immortal by the ever living and lasting Word of God. [24] For all flesh (mankind) is like grass, and all its glory (honor) like the flower of grass. The grass withers and the flower drops off,
Colossians 3:2-5 (AMP)
And set your minds and keep them set on what is above (the higher things), not on the things that are on the earth. [3] For as far as this world is concerned you have died, and your new, real life is hidden with Christ in God. [4] When Christ, Who is our life, appears, then you also will appear with Him in the splendor of His glory. [5] So kill (deaden, deprive of power) the evil desire lurking in your members those animal impulses and all that is earthly in you that is employed in sin: sexual vice, impurity, sensual appetites, unholy desires, and all greed and covetousness, for that is idolatry (the deifying of self and other created things instead of God).
Matthew 6:19-21 (AMP)
Do not gather and heap up and store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust and worm consume and destroy, and where thieves break through and steal. [20] But gather and heap up and store for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust nor worm consume and destroy, and where thieves do not break through and steal; [21] For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.

LIVING A MISTAKE FREE LIFE
LIVING A MISTAKE FREE LIFE
It does not take a PHD to understand the word, follow. The word, exactly, is a little more difficult to comprehend. Putting these words together is a mystery of the kingdom that earthly kings have always sought. Daniel was raised from prisoner to prince in a day because He had this quality.
Here's how simple it is. I am perfect, My supreme goal is to bring you to perfection. I am God almighty, I have all power to preform all that is necessary to keep every galaxy in operation. I am the source of light and life. To put it plainly, anything you can possibly think of, I am the source, because nothing existed before I created it.
Evil was not created for you, but the knowledge of it was placed in the garden with a stern warning never to taste it. It was placed there for the purpose of Glory. Obedience gives the greatest glory of anything you can do. Disobedience shows the greatest disrespect, of anything you can do.
All of mans suffering is because of wrong choices. One wrong choice usually starts a chain of negative events. This chain will always put you in bondage, chains that no human can break. Using My power as supreme, creator God, I made a way for you to correct everything and give you back the power you had before man's first wrong choice.
It's all wrapped up in two words, obey exactly. If you will give Me the highest glory possible, by obeying exactly what I say, to the letter, every day, every hour, you will live a mistake free life. You say, "then I will not have a life of my own", which is exactly right.
It must be all My way, you do not have the capacity while living in darkness to make a right choice. Even after you are born again the remnants of darkness remaining in your soul will keep up the wrong choices. There is only one way to eliminate your wrong choices. Do everything My way. You say, "I can't hear your voice all the time", and that's because of a wrong choice. You can't hear My voice, because you do not know Me well enough.
The choices you make that cause you to spend your time on meaningless pleasures, and activities start the chain that binds you to a problem filled life. These wrong choices totally pervert your value system, causing you to spend your lifetime on something I am going to turn to ashes.
Your disobedience in following after these things is the greatest disrespect you can show Me. To know Me is to love Me, and to love Me is to obey Me. That's the order of the kingdom. What you don't understand is that all the kings of earth are looking for a mistake free life. Because in it is the secret to success in everything you do. It means you never fail because you never make a wrong choice.
Now I give you the power to make the master right choice; lay everything aside and get to know Me, so you can hear My voice and love Me by obeying Me exactly. As a result of this one choice you will end up with a mistake free life.
Genesis 2:9 (AMP)
And out of the ground the Lord God made to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight or to be desired--good (suitable, pleasant) for food; the tree of life also in the center of the garden, and the tree of the knowledge of the difference between good and evil and blessing and calamity.
Deuteronomy 30:19-20 (AMP)
I call heaven and earth to witness this day against you that I have set before you life and death, the blessings and the curses; therefore choose life, that you and your descendants may live [20] And may love the Lord your God, obey His voice, and cling to Him. For He is your life and the length of your days, that you may dwell in the land which the Lord swore to give to your fathers, to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
Ephesians 4:10-16 (AMP)
He Who descended is the very same as He Who also has ascended high above all the heavens, that He His presence might fill all things (the whole universe, from the lowest to the highest). [11] And His gifts were varied; He Himself appointed and gave men to us some to be apostles (special messengers), some prophets (inspired preachers and expounders), some evangelists (preachers of the Gospel, traveling missionaries), some pastors (shepherds of His flock) and teachers. [12] His intention was the perfecting and the full equipping of the saints (His consecrated people), that they should do the work of ministering toward building up Christ''s body (the church), [13] That it might develop until we all attain oneness in the faith and in the comprehension of the full and accurate knowledge of the Son of God, that we might arrive at really mature manhood (the completeness of personality which is nothing less than the standard height of Christ''s own perfection), the measure of the stature of the fullness of the Christ and the completeness found in Him. [14] 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.
Genesis 3:5 (AMP)
For God knows that in the day you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing the difference between good and evil and blessing and calamity.
John 1:1-5,10-13 (AMP)
IN THE beginning before all time was the Word (Christ), and the Word was with God, and the Word was God Himself. [2] He was present originally with God. [3] All things were made and came into existence through Him; and without Him was not even one thing made that has come into being. [4] In Him was Life, and the Life was the Light of men. [5] And the Light shines on in the darkness, for the darkness has never overpowered it put it out or absorbed it or appropriated it, and is unreceptive to it. [10] He came into the world, and though the world was made through Him, the world did not recognize Him did not know Him. [11] He came to that which belonged to Him to His own--His domain, creation, things, world, and they who were His own did not receive Him and did not welcome Him. [12] But to as many as did receive and welcome Him, He gave the authority (power, privilege, right) to become the children of God, that is, to those who believe in (adhere to, trust in, and rely on) His name-- [13] Who owe their birth neither to bloods nor to the will of the flesh that of physical impulse nor to the will of man that of a natural father, but to God. They are born of God!
2 Corinthians 5:17-18 (AMP)
Therefore if any person is ingrafted in Christ (the Messiah) he is a new creation (a new creature altogether); the old previous moral and spiritual condition has passed away. Behold, the fresh and new has come! [18] But all things are from God, Who through Jesus Christ reconciled us to Himself received us into favor, brought us into harmony with Himself and gave to us the ministry of reconciliation that by word and deed we might aim to bring others into harmony with Him.

[12] His intention was the perfecting and the full equipping of the saints (His consecrated people), that they should do the work of ministering toward building up Christ''s body (the church), [13] That it might develop until we all attain oneness in the faith and in the comprehension of the full and accurate knowledge of the Son of God, that we might arrive at really mature manhood (the completeness of personality which is nothing less than the standard height of Christ''s own perfection), the measure of the stature of the fullness of the Christ and the completeness found in Him. [14] 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.
Genesis 3:5 (AMP)
For God knows that in the day you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing the difference between good and evil and blessing and calamity.
John 1:1-5,10-13 (AMP)
IN THE beginning before all time was the Word (Christ), and the Word was with God, and the Word was God Himself. [2] He was present originally with God. [3] All things were made and came into existence through Him; and without Him was not even one thing made that has come into being. [4] In Him was Life, and the Life was the Light of men. [5] And the Light shines on in the darkness, for the darkness has never overpowered it put it out or absorbed it or appropriated it, and is unreceptive to it. [10] He came into the world, and though the world was made through Him, the world did not recognize Him did not know Him. [11] He came to that which belonged to Him to His own--His domain, creation, things, world, and they who were His own did not receive Him and did not welcome Him. [12] But to as many as did receive and welcome Him, He gave the authority (power, privilege, right) to become the children of God, that is, to those who believe in (adhere to, trust in, and rely on) His name-- [13] Who owe their birth neither to bloods nor to the will of the flesh that of physical impulse nor to the will of man that of a natural father, but to God. They are born of God!
2 Corinthians 5:17-18 (AMP)
Therefore if any person is ingrafted in Christ (the Messiah) he is a new creation (a new creature altogether); the old previous moral and spiritual condition has passed away. Behold, the fresh and new has come! [18] But all things are from God, Who through Jesus Christ reconciled us to Himself received us into favor, brought us into harmony with Himself and gave to us the ministry of reconciliation that by word and deed we might aim to bring others into harmony with Him.
WHEN LOVE HATES
WHEN LOVE HATES
There are seven major things Love hates and one of them is a proud look. I am love and love is humble. I know everything, see everything, hear everything and control everything and yet there is not an ounce of pride in Me.
How is it that when a man gains a little bit of knowledge and a little bit of money that he also gains a proud look. A look that says, "I don't need you now". A proud look says, "I can take care of My self, I am self sufficient, and if I need you I will call you." A proud look will cause Me push you away. Psalm 101:5 (AMP)...he who has a haughty look and a proud and arrogant heart I cannot and I will not tolerate.
James 4:6-7 (KJV)
But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble. [7] Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
I refuse to give any grace to the proud because they reject My love with their self sufficiency. They refuse to become part of My body and instead become a body part, very unpleasant to look at, when disconnected from the body. The proud are delaying My return because, I cannot return until My body is together and mature. Pride prevents both from happening.
In the past you have felt the rod of My correction that comes swiftly to your proud independent spirit. This is the only saving grace for the proud. My rod will bring an instant reversal to a self-sufficient one and in a moments time they will cry out for even a child to lead them.
My rod of correction can instantly blind you and in one second you become totally dependent.
Judges 16:20-21
And she said, The Philistines be upon thee, Samson. And he awoke out of his sleep, and said, I will go out as at other times before, and shake myself. And he wist not that the Lord was departed from him. [21] But the Philistines took him, and put out his eyes, and brought him down to Gaza, and bound him with fetters of brass; and he did grind in the prison house. ... 26 And Samson said to the lad who held him by the hand, Allow me to feel the pillars upon which the house rests, that I may lean against them.
My rod of correction against pride will make a king eat with and crawl like an animal for years;
Daniel 4:30-34 (KJV)
The king spake, and said, Is not this great Babylon, that I have built for the house of the kingdom by the might of my power, and for the honour of my majesty? [31] While the word was in the king's mouth, there fell a voice from heaven, saying , O king Nebuchadnezzar, to thee it is spoken; The kingdom is departed from thee. [32] And they shall drive thee from men, and thy dwelling shall be with the beasts of the field: they shall make thee to eat grass as oxen, and seven times shall pass over thee, until thou know that the most High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will. [33] The same hour was the thing fulfilled upon Nebuchadnezzar: and he was driven from men, and did eat grass as oxen, and his body was wet with the dew of heaven, till his hairs were grown like eagles' feathers , and his nails like birds' claws . [34] And at the end of the days I Nebuchadnezzar lifted up mine eyes unto heaven, and mine understanding returned unto me, and I blessed the most High, and I praised and honoured him that liveth for ever, whose dominion is an everlasting dominion, and his kingdom is from generation to generation:
My love will never tolerate pride in My body, for the moment you think you are standing, you are guaranteed to have a big fall. It's my only way of keeping you safe and close to me. Samson came back to Me, Peter came back, Nebuchadnezzar came back, and if I need to humble you, you will come back too.
Proverbs 16:18 (AMP)
Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall.
Your nation may celebrate it's independence each year, but in the kingdom no one celebrates independance because the independent are not allowed in. Independance is the highest form of pride and refuses to take it's place in the body. "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 4:16 (AMP)
We celebrate, Dependence Day, the day you say, " Lord, I really can't do a thing without you, I am totally lost without you. I am 100% dependent on you lord." Dependence is the highest form of humility and is given more grace than any other attribute of My character. I cannot use the proud, the arrogant, the independant or the self righteous, I resist them.
Proverbs 6:16-19 (KJV)
These six things doth the Lord hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him: [17] A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, [18] An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief, [19] A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren.
1 Corinthians 12:7-31 (KJV)
[14] For the body is not one member, but many. [15] If the foot shall say, Because I am not the hand, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body? [16] And if the ear shall say, Because I am not the eye, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body? [17] If the whole body were an eye, where were the hearing? If the whole were hearing, where were the smelling? [18] But now hath God set the members every one of them in the body, as it hath pleased him. [19] And if they were all one member, where were the body? [20] But now are they many members, yet but one body. [21] And the eye cannot say unto the hand, I have no need of thee: nor again the head to the feet, I have no need of you. [22] Nay, much more those members of the body, which seem to be more feeble, are necessary: [23] And those members of the body, which we think to be less honourable, upon these we bestow more abundant honour; and our uncomely parts have more abundant comeliness. [24] For our comely parts have no need: but God hath tempered the body together, having given more abundant honour to that part which lacked: [25] That there should be no schism in the body; but that the members should have the same care one for another. [26] And whether one member suffer, all the members suffer with it; or one member be honoured, all the members rejoice with it. [27] Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular.
There are seven major things Love hates and one of them is a proud look. I am love and love is humble. I know everything, see everything, hear everything and control everything and yet there is not an ounce of pride in Me.

LOVE HAD A PLAN, LOVE HAS A PLAN, LOVE IS THE PLAN
LOVE HAD A PLAN, LOVE HAS A PLAN, LOVE IS THE PLAN
If you are not convinced that I love you more than anything by now, you are spiritually blind. No one ever loved you more, because no one ever paid the price that I did to redeem you. Without Me there would be no earth and no you.
In the beginning, you were created in My image, with a God nature, but when sin entered the human race, you destroyed your God nature and there was no possible way you would ever look like any of the Godhead. Love had a plan from before the beginning. The plan was, when you fail to maintain your God nature, we would start over again and recreate you spiritually.
This meant that I would have to come to earth and take back what you gave away, and offer it to you again. We created you with freedom of choice and will never take it away. Now love has a plan to restore you to your original state if you so desire. The plan includes one of the Godhead, staying on earth with you and actually dwelling inside your body, to firmly re-establish your God nature. This will only be done with by a passionate longing on your part, to return to your original state.
Love's plan is to fully restore all things to you, by offering back to the human race what they threw away in their first generation. To be fully restored you do not get to pick and choose the parts of My nature you want and don't want.
My nature is a giving nature, My nature is a faithful nature, My nature is sinless, kind, gentle, easy to be entreated, peaceable, without partiality, a nature that is always laying down His life for others to live. The only way you will be fully restored is to seek all of me, with your whole heart. Everything and I mean everything, on earth, must be second to this.
Because of the intensity of devotion it takes to be fully restored, Love became the plan. Your original love was also destroyed by sin. Everything pure was destroyed including love. What earth calls love is lust and perversion in every way. Your love has self written all over it. Every act of human love has the hidden question, "what's in this for Me".
Even if it's a thank-you, you are expecting, it's not a hundred percent pure. When My love consumes you and becomes the single motivation for everything you think, say, and do, you will know that your God nature has been fully restored. From that point on, there is nothing impossible to you. In order to maintain your God nature you will have to abide in Me and I in you.
You must eat, drink and sleep, My word. You will carry My presence everywhere you go. People will be transformed when you enter the room. Some will despise you and others will love you at first sight. No matter what their position you will love them equally. I wish I could say that everyone I call, will pay the price to have their God nature restored, I have called many but only a few will be chosen.
You have nothing to do with My calling, but you have everything to do with My choosing. I have called you, now will you say, "I will pay the price, I want you more than anything on earth", and begin your passionate pursuit of Me? Because love is the plan.
1 John 4:7-21 (AMP)
Beloved, let us love one another, for love is (springs) from God; and he who loves his fellowmen is begotten (born) of God and is coming progressively to know and understand God to perceive and recognize and get a better and clearer knowledge of Him. [8] He who does not love has not become acquainted with God does not and never did know Him, for God is love. [9] In this the love of God was made manifest (displayed) where we are concerned: in that God sent His Son, the only begotten or unique Son, into the world so that we might live through Him. [10] In this is love: not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation (the atoning sacrifice) for our sins. [11] Beloved, if God loved us so very much, we also ought to love one another. [12] No man has at any time yet seen God. But if we love one another, God abides (lives and remains) in us and His love (that love which is essentially His) is brought to completion (to its full maturity, runs its full course, is perfected) in us! [13] By this we come to know (perceive, recognize, and understand) that we abide (live and remain) in Him and He in us: because He has given (imparted) to us of His Holy Spirit. [14] And besides we ourselves have seen (have deliberately and steadfastly contemplated) and bear witness that the Father has sent the Son as the Savior of the world. [15] Anyone who confesses (acknowledges, owns) that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides (lives, makes His home) in him and he abides, lives, makes his home in God. [16] And we know (understand, recognize, are conscious of, by observation and by experience) and believe (adhere to and put faith in and rely on) the love God cherishes for us. God is love, and he who dwells and continues in love dwells and continues in God, and God dwells and continues in him. [17] In this union and communion with Him love is brought to completion and attains perfection with us, that we may have confidence for the day of judgment with assurance and boldness to face Him, because as He is, so are we in this world. [18] There is no fear in love dread does not exist, but full-grown (complete, perfect) love turns fear out of doors and expels every trace of terror! For fear brings with it the thought of punishment, and so he who is afraid has not reached the full maturity of love is not yet grown into love''s complete perfection. [19] We love Him, because He first loved us. [20] If anyone says, I love God, and hates (detests, abominates) his brother in Christ, he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother, whom he has seen, cannot love God, Whom he has not seen. [21] And this command (charge, order, injunction) we have from Him: that he who loves God shall love his brother believer also.
John 8:31 (AMP)
So Jesus said to those Jews who had believed in Him, If you abide in My word hold fast to My teachings and live in accordance with them, you are truly My disciples.
John 6:63-69 (AMP)
It is the Spirit Who gives life He is the Life-giver; the flesh conveys no benefit whatever there is no profit in it. The words (truths) that I have been speaking to you are spirit and life. [64] But still some of you fail to believe and trust and have faith. For Jesus knew from the first who did not believe and had no faith and who would betray Him and be false to Him. [65] And He said, This is why I told you that no one can come to Me unless it is granted him unless he is enabled to do so by the Father. [66] After this, many of His disciples drew back (returned to their old associations) and no longer accompanied Him. [67] Jesus said to the Twelve, Will you also go away? And do you too desire to leave Me? [68] Simon Peter answered, Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words (the message) of eternal life. [69] And we have learned to believe and trust, and more we have come to know surely that You are the Holy One of God, the Christ (the Anointed One), the Son of the living God.
Matthew 10:36-39 (AMP)
And a man''s foes will be they of his own household. [37] He who loves and takes more pleasure in father or mother more than in Me is not worthy of Me; and he who loves and takes more pleasure in son or daughter more than in Me is not worthy of Me; [38] And he who does not take up his cross and follow Me cleave steadfastly to Me, conforming wholly to My example in living and, if need be, in dying also is not worthy of Me. [39] Whoever finds his lower life will lose it the higher life, and whoever loses his lower life on My account will find it the higher life.
Mark 12:30-31 (AMP)
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. [31] The second is like it and is this, You shall love your neighbor as yourself. There is no other commandment greater than these.
1 Corinthians 13:1-13 (AMP)
IF I can speak in the tongues of men and even of angels, but have not love (that reasoning, intentional, spiritual devotion such as is inspired by God''s love for and in us), I am only a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. [2] And if I have prophetic powers (the gift of interpreting the divine will and purpose), and understand all the secret truths and mysteries and possess all knowledge, and if I have sufficient faith so that I can remove mountains, but have not love (God''s love in me) I am nothing (a useless nobody). [3] Even if I dole out all that I have to the poor in providing food, and if I surrender my body to be burned or in order that I may glory, but have not love (God''s love in me), I gain nothing. [4] Love endures long and is patient and kind; love never is envious nor boils over with jealousy, is not boastful or vainglorious, does not display itself haughtily. [5] It is not conceited (arrogant and inflated with pride); it is not rude (unmannerly) and does not act unbecomingly. Love (God''s love in us) does not insist on its own rights or its own way, for it is not self-seeking; it is not touchy or fretful or resentful; it takes no account of the evil done to it it pays no attention to a suffered wrong. [6] It does not rejoice at injustice and unrighteousness, but rejoices when right and truth prevail. [7] Love bears up under anything and everything that comes, is ever ready to believe the best of every person, its hopes are fadeless under all circumstances, and it endures everything without weakening. [8] Love never fails never fades out or becomes obsolete or comes to an end. As for prophecy (the gift of interpreting the divine will and purpose), it will be fulfilled and pass away; as for tongues, they will be destroyed and cease; as for knowledge, it will pass away it will lose its value and be superseded by truth. [9] For our knowledge is fragmentary (incomplete and imperfect), and our prophecy (our teaching) is fragmentary (incomplete and imperfect). [10] But when the complete and perfect (total) comes, the incomplete and imperfect will vanish away (become antiquated, void, and superseded). [11] When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child; now that I have become a man, I am done with childish ways and have put them aside. [12] For now we are looking in a mirror that gives only a dim (blurred) reflection of reality as in a riddle or enigma, but then when perfection comes we shall see in reality and face to face! Now I know in part (imperfectly), but then I shall know and understand fully and clearly, even in the same manner as I have been fully and clearly known and understood by God. [13] And so faith, hope, love abide faith--conviction and belief respecting man''s relation to God and divine things; hope--joyful and confident expectation of eternal salvation; love--true affection for God and man, growing out of God''s love for and in us, these three; but the greatest of these is love.
If you are not convinced that I love you more than anything by now, you are spiritually blind. No one ever loved you more, because no one ever paid the price that I did to redeem you. Without Me there would be no earth and no you.
In the beginning, you were created in My image, with a God nature, but when sin entered the human race, you destroyed your God nature and there was no possible way you would ever look like any of the Godhead.

[15] Anyone who confesses (acknowledges, owns) that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides (lives, makes His home) in him and he abides, lives, makes his home in God. [16] And we know (understand, recognize, are conscious of, by observation and by experience) and believe (adhere to and put faith in and rely on) the love God cherishes for us. God is love, and he who dwells and continues in love dwells and continues in God, and God dwells and continues in him. [17] In this union and communion with Him love is brought to completion and attains perfection with us, that we may have confidence for the day of judgment with assurance and boldness to face Him, because as He is, so are we in this world. [18] There is no fear in love dread does not exist, but full-grown (complete, perfect) love turns fear out of doors and expels every trace of terror! For fear brings with it the thought of punishment, and so he who is afraid has not reached the full maturity of love is not yet grown into love''s complete perfection. [19] We love Him, because He first loved us. [20] If anyone says, I love God, and hates (detests, abominates) his brother in Christ, he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother, whom he has seen, cannot love God, Whom he has not seen. [21] And this command (charge, order, injunction) we have from Him: that he who loves God shall love his brother believer also.
John 8:31 (AMP)
So Jesus said to those Jews who had believed in Him, If you abide in My word hold fast to My teachings and live in accordance with them, you are truly My disciples.
John 6:63-69 (AMP)
It is the Spirit Who gives life He is the Life-giver; the flesh conveys no benefit whatever there is no profit in it. The words (truths) that I have been speaking to you are spirit and life. [64] But still some of you fail to believe and trust and have faith. For Jesus knew from the first who did not believe and had no faith and who would betray Him and be false to Him. [65] And He said, This is why I told you that no one can come to Me unless it is granted him unless he is enabled to do so by the Father. [66] After this, many of His disciples drew back (returned to their old associations) and no longer accompanied Him. [67] Jesus said to the Twelve, Will you also go away? And do you too desire to leave Me? [68] Simon Peter answered, Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words (the message) of eternal life. [69] And we have learned to believe and trust, and more we have come to know surely that You are the Holy One of God, the Christ (the Anointed One), the Son of the living God.
Matthew 10:36-39 (AMP)
And a man''s foes will be they of his own household. [37] He who loves and takes more pleasure in father or mother more than in Me is not worthy of Me; and he who loves and takes more pleasure in son or daughter more than in Me is not worthy of Me; [38] And he who does not take up his cross and follow Me cleave steadfastly to Me, conforming wholly to My example in living and, if need be, in dying also is not worthy of Me. [39] Whoever finds his lower life will lose it the higher life, and whoever loses his lower life on My account will find it the higher life.
Mark 12:30-31 (AMP)
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. [31] The second is like it and is this, You shall love your neighbor as yourself. There is no other commandment greater than these.
1 Corinthians 13:1-13 (AMP)
IF I can speak in the tongues of men and even of angels, but have not love (that reasoning, intentional, spiritual devotion such as is inspired by God''s love for and in us), I am only a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. [2] And if I have prophetic powers (the gift of interpreting the divine will and purpose), and understand all the secret truths and mysteries and possess all knowledge, and if I have sufficient faith so that I can remove mountains, but have not love (God''s love in me) I am nothing (a useless nobody). [3] Even if I dole out all that I have to the poor in providing food, and if I surrender my body to be burned or in order that I may glory, but have not love (God''s love in me), I gain nothing. [4] Love endures long and is patient and kind; love never is envious nor boils over with jealousy, is not boastful or vainglorious, does not display itself haughtily. [5] It is not conceited (arrogant and inflated with pride); it is not rude (unmannerly) and does not act unbecomingly. Love (God''s love in us) does not insist on its own rights or its own way, for it is not self-seeking; it is not touchy or fretful or resentful; it takes no account of the evil done to it it pays no attention to a suffered wrong. [6] It does not rejoice at injustice and unrighteousness, but rejoices when right and truth prevail. [7] Love bears up under anything and everything that comes, is ever ready to believe the best of every person, its hopes are fadeless under all circumstances, and it endures everything without weakening. [8] Love never fails never fades out or becomes obsolete or comes to an end. As for prophecy (the gift of interpreting the divine will and purpose), it will be fulfilled and pass away; as for tongues, they will be destroyed and cease; as for knowledge, it will pass away it will lose its value and be superseded by truth. [9] For our knowledge is fragmentary (incomplete and imperfect), and our prophecy (our teaching) is fragmentary (incomplete and imperfect). [10] But when the complete and perfect (total) comes, the incomplete and imperfect will vanish away (become antiquated, void, and superseded). [11] When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child; now that I have become a man, I am done with childish ways and have put them aside. [12] For now we are looking in a mirror that gives only a dim (blurred) reflection of reality as in a riddle or enigma, but then when perfection comes we shall see in reality and face to face! Now I know in part (imperfectly), but then I shall know and understand fully and clearly, even in the same manner as I have been fully and clearly known and understood by God. [13] And so faith, hope, love abide faith--conviction and belief respecting man''s relation to God and divine things; hope--joyful and confident expectation of eternal salvation; love--true affection for God and man, growing out of God''s love for and in us, these three; but the greatest of these is love.

SOME TIMES I LET SATAN LEAD YOU TO ME
SOME TIMES I LET SATAN LEAD YOU TO ME
Peter walked with me over three years and was still filled with pride, always moving out in front, with a bully type personality. With all My teaching about the kingdom, his pride prevented the understanding, and conversion did not occur.
When a person will not repent because of My goodness, I let badness do it, by letting Satan sift them as wheat. Satan is always more than anxious to even a score with you. He has not changed a bit, he is always asking for another shot at you.
It is never My intent to have Satan used as a teaching tool, however sometimes when you insist on doing things his way, I will expose you to him and he will break you in minutes. I simply stand back and pray for you. Satan comes after you many times a day, so I have equipped you and given you the tools, to stop him. When you repent because of my goodness, Satan has no place to enter.
Pride and rebellion are sisters and they go hand in hand. When you insist on doing things your way, you are full of pride and rebellion. Pride says that you know more than Me. Rebellion says I refuse to do it your way. Now you have chose to do things satan's way. You have adopted his prideful rebellious personality giving him access to your domain.
If you have been called by Me, then it is hard for you to kick against the pricks of My goad. If you insist on rebelling I simply lift My hand of protection and let the prince of the air show you what rebellion does, as he sifts you as wheat. As soon as the sifting has begun, most are ready to do things My way.
I show mercy every moment of your life, simply by protecting you from an enemy that has sworn to kill you. I lift My hand and set his limits which he cannot break. He has no mercy and the more he can hurt you the happier he is. This goes for men, women, young people, children, infants, and the unborn. Rob, kill, and destroy is the only goal he has.
Pride is a very subtle trait in each human being that must be dealt with by the cross. When I send you on a mission and you do not pray for wisdom, strength, guidance, and protection you are proud. It indicates you think you can handle it by yourself. If you think you can breath without Me you are prideful. Those who acknowledge Me in ALL THEIR WAYS, will have their all their ways directed by Me.
This is radical living at it's finest. Yes, I gave you natural wisdom, but sin perverted it. Natural wisdom in the west says, stay on the right side of the highway, but My wisdom says, do not take that road. My foreknowledge sees the enemy has placed a tractor trailer in your lane 5 miles up the road. He has no mercy.
What about the cup of coffee you spilled, did you every think it was Me guiding your day. You could not possibly know that I was delaying you, so you could make a divine appointment, one that would alter your direction forever. When you live radical then you move into My rest. When you truly give Me your entire day, I take it and arrange it so that all things work together for your good.
Real faith and trust shows up in the small everyday things that you give Me charge of. When you talk to Me about everything, I will guide you in everything. Even if you succeed on you own for a whole day, by guessing right every time, you lack My touch, which gives the day eternal value and meaning.
What you do on your own through out your live, is wood, hay and stubble, because pride says, you deserve a reward and this attitude leads down a road that allows you to take the credit, and robs Me of the My glory. Don't go there. Give Me your seconds, minutes, hours, and day to Me and you will enter into My rest, with My protection, for the rest or your journey.
When you insist on having it your way, I let Satan chase you back to My way of doing things.
1 Corinthians 5:5 (AMP)
You are to deliver this man over to Satan for physical discipline to destroy carnal lusts which prompted him to incest, that his spirit may yet be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus.
Luke 22:31-34 (AMP)
Simon, Simon (Peter), listen! Satan has asked excessively that all of you be given up to him out of the power and keeping of God, that he might sift all of you like grain, [32] But I have prayed especially for you Peter, that your own faith may not fail; and when you yourself have turned again, strengthen and establish your brethren. [33] And Simon Peter said to Him, Lord, I am ready to go with You both to prison and to death. [34] But Jesus said, I tell you, Peter, before a single cock shall crow this day, you will three times utterly deny that you know Me.
Job 1:8-12 (AMP)
And the Lord said to Satan, Have you considered My servant Job, that there is none like him on the earth, a blameless and upright man, one who reverently fears God and abstains from and shuns evil because it is wrong? [9] Then Satan answered the Lord, Does Job reverently fear God for nothing? [10] Have You not put a hedge about him and his house and all that he has, on every side? You have conferred prosperity and happiness upon him in the work of his hands, and his possessions have increased in the land. [11] But put forth Your hand now and touch all that he has, and he will curse You to Your face. [12] And the Lord said to Satan (the adversary and the accuser), Behold, all that he has is in your power, only upon the man himself put not forth your hand. So Satan went forth from the presence of the Lord.
John 10:10 (AMP)
The thief comes only in order to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have and enjoy life, and have it in abundance (to the full, till it overflows).
Romans 2:4 (AMP)
Or are you so blind as to trifle with and presume upon and despise and underestimate the wealth of His kindness and forbearance and long-suffering patience? Are you unmindful or actually ignorant of the fact that God''s kindness is intended to lead you to repent (to change your mind and inner man to accept God''s will)?
1 Corinthians 5:5 (AMP)
You are to deliver this man over to Satan for physical discipline to destroy carnal lusts which prompted him to incest, that his spirit may yet be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus.
Proverbs 3:2-8 (AMP)
For length of days and years of a life worth living and tranquility inward and outward and continuing through old age till death, these shall they add to you. [3] Let not mercy and kindness shutting out all hatred and selfishness and truth shutting out all deliberate hypocrisy or falsehood forsake you; bind them about your neck, write them upon the tablet of your heart. [4] So shall you find favor, good understanding, and high esteem in the sight or judgment of God and man. [5] Lean on, trust in, and be confident in the Lord with all your heart and mind and do not rely on your own insight or understanding. [6] In all your ways know, recognize, and acknowledge Him, and He will direct and make straight and plain your paths. [7] Be not wise in your own eyes; reverently fear and worship the Lord and turn entirely away from evil. [8] It shall be health to your nerves and sinews, and marrow and moistening to your bones.

DON'T LOOK BACK, YOU CAN NEVER RETURN
DON'T LOOK BACK, YOU CAN NEVER RETURN
From this point on in your kingdom journey, you are not allowed to look back. Looking back disqualifies you from going forward. As you move forward do not keep track of your past accomplishments or failures. Nothing will seem more innocent yet be more damaging to your success than looking back.
I am the one who looks behind you, keeping track of all you have done. Nothing good comes from looking back. You can do nothing about the past. Remembering the, "good ole days", causes you to complain about the present. The only time you are allowed to peer into your past, is to remind yourself of the great work I have done in your life. However it is only for the purpose of encouragement to move you and others forward to even greater works.
Looking back is a seed of lukewarmness because your heart is in the past, not wanting leave your comfort zone. You long to stay with past blessings rather than walk with Me into future blessing. Anyone who wants to keep pace with Me cannot be focusing on the past and stay in step. I must have your full attention to every detail. Looking back in time of battle will, get you shot.
Looking back will feed your logic and the logical never enters the miraculous. The only way to maintain a level in the kingdom is to leave it for a higher level. Your constant pursuit of Me will always keep you moving forward. Even when I tell you to stand still, your spirit is moving forward in obedience.
Some people spend their whole life in a holding pattern, moaning about their present with Me, because they never emotionally left their past. The focus on what used to be, brings them to a stand still. If you do this I will leave you in the wilderness going in circles until you die. You have left your first love and now you love your past, more than Me.
Going back you will find it was a mirage, it does not exist any longer. The sadist moment in you life will be, when you return to a mirage and realize you have been left behind. All of your supplies are in the present, to keep you moving to the next level. When you move toward the past the miraculous stops because I am no longer there.
If you do not cut the apron strings of the past you will die in the lap of memories. The enemy will send well meaning people to tie the strings tight, giving you every reason why you should stay, while you are hearing My still small voice calling, "follow Me". If you entertain their voices, Mine will soon be drowned out and I will call another, to take your place.
Every tiny detail of your past is in your future. You will have opportunity to relive it again as you stand before Me. Some of it you will regret deeply, as I put the torch to it, finding it to be wood. hay, and stubble. The gold, silver and precious stones come from your willingness to leave the past and stay with Me no matter what.
Some times I will move you from a shack to a mansion and other times I will move you from a mansion to a shack. Never consider where I take you in the natural as a sign of your progress in Me, this is a big mistake. If you say, "look how much He loves", Me when I have you living in a mansion, what will you say when I move you to a shack, "Look how much He hates me"? I lead from palaces to dungeons, and back palaces again, many times in a single lifetime.
Remember you are on a journey, do not spiritually unpack. I am constantly moving and each one who looks back receives a mark, stamped " UNFIT". Remember the places I lead are only stepping stones to another level. The stuff I give you are tools not shrines to be worshiped. If you make it too beautiful you will not invite the ugly; if you make it expensive, you will not welcome the poor. If you make it too sterile, you will not welcome the sick, the halt, and the blind.
How it appears is not the issue, but how you appear is. Your rest is not to be in the place I have you, but in Me as we travel this eternal journey. The fact that you are at rest in Me, while being occupied at what I have given you, is My stamp of approval. You will never have My rest looking back, because you have been stamped, "UNFIT".
There is a false rest that comes from a comfort zone but it is only outward and will never last. Each time you are quiet and alone you will hear My still small voice calling, "follow Me". If you are quick to say, yes, when I ask you to move into a palace with Me, will you be just as quick to move to the garbage dump with Me. If not you don't love Me, you love mammon. The choice is yours, "UNFIT" or "WELL DONE" which will it be.
Luke 9:62 (AMP)
Jesus said to him, No one who puts his hand to the plow and looks back to the things behind is fit for the kingdom of God.
Philippians 3:13-14 (AMP)
I do not consider, brethren, that I have captured and made it my own yet; but one thing I do it is my one aspiration: forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead, [14] I press on toward the goal to win the supreme and heavenly prize to which God in Christ Jesus is calling us upward.
Genesis 39:20-23 (AMP)
And Joseph''s master took him and put him in the prison, a place where the state prisoners were confined; so he was there in the prison. [21] But the Lord was with Joseph, and showed him mercy and loving-kindness and gave him favor in the sight of the warden of the prison. [22] And the warden of the prison committed to Joseph''s care all the prisoners who were in the prison; and whatsoever was done there, he was in charge of it. [23] The prison warden paid no attention to anything that was in Joseph''s charge, for the Lord was with him and made whatever he did to prosper.
Genesis 41:1,38-46 (AMP)
AFTER TWO full years, Pharaoh dreamed that he stood by the river Nile. [38] And Pharaoh said to his servants, Can we find this man''s equal, a man in whom is the spirit of God? [39] And Pharaoh said to Joseph, Forasmuch as your God has shown you all this, there is nobody as intelligent and discreet and understanding and wise as you are. [40] You shall have charge over my house, and all my people shall be governed according to your word with reverence, submission, and obedience. Only in matters of the throne will I be greater than you are. [41] Then Pharaoh said to Joseph, See, I have set you over all the land of Egypt. [42] And Pharaoh took off his signet ring from his hand and put it on Joseph''s hand, and arrayed him in official vestments of fine linen and put a gold chain about his neck; [43] He made him to ride in the second chariot which he had, and officials cried before him, Bow the knee! And he set him over all the land of Egypt. [44] And Pharaoh said to Joseph, I am Pharaoh, and without you shall no man lift up his hand or foot in all the land of Egypt. [45] And Pharaoh called Joseph''s name Zaphenath-paneah and he gave him Asenath daughter of Potiphera, priest of On, to be his wife. And Joseph made an inspection tour of all the land of Egypt. [46] Joseph who had been in Egypt thirteen years was thirty years old when he stood before Pharaoh king of Egypt. Joseph went out from the presence of Pharaoh and went about his duties through all the land of Egypt..
Matthew 7:22-23 (AMP)
Many will say to Me on that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name and driven out demons in Your name and done many mighty works in Your name? [23] And then I will say to them openly (publicly), I never knew you; depart from Me, you who act wickedly disregarding My commands.
Matthew 25:21 (AMP)
His master said to him, Well done, you upright (honorable, admirable) and faithful servant! You have been faithful and trustworthy over a little; I will put you in charge of much. Enter into and share the joy (the delight, the blessedness) which your master enjoys
From this point on in your kingdom journey, you are not allowed to look back. Looking back disqualifies you from going forward. As you move forward do not keep track of your past accomplishments or failures. Nothing will seem more innocent yet be more damaging to your success than looking back.

The fact that you are at rest in Me, while being occupied at what I have given you, is My stamp of approval. You will never have My rest looking back, because you have been stamped, "UNFIT".
There is a false rest that comes from a comfort zone but it is only outward and will never last. Each time you are quiet and alone you will hear My still small voice calling, "follow Me". If you are quick to say, yes, when I ask you to move into a palace with Me, will you be just as quick to move to the garbage dump with Me. If not you don't love Me, you love mammon. The choice is yours, "UNFIT" or "WELL DONE" which will it be.
Luke 9:62 (AMP)
Jesus said to him, No one who puts his hand to the plow and looks back to the things behind is fit for the kingdom of God.
Philippians 3:13-14 (AMP)
I do not consider, brethren, that I have captured and made it my own yet; but one thing I do it is my one aspiration: forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead, [14] I press on toward the goal to win the supreme and heavenly prize to which God in Christ Jesus is calling us upward.
Genesis 39:20-23 (AMP)
And Joseph''s master took him and put him in the prison, a place where the state prisoners were confined; so he was there in the prison. [21] But the Lord was with Joseph, and showed him mercy and loving-kindness and gave him favor in the sight of the warden of the prison. [22] And the warden of the prison committed to Joseph''s care all the prisoners who were in the prison; and whatsoever was done there, he was in charge of it. [23] The prison warden paid no attention to anything that was in Joseph''s charge, for the Lord was with him and made whatever he did to prosper.
Genesis 41:1,38-46 (AMP)
AFTER TWO full years, Pharaoh dreamed that he stood by the river Nile. [38] And Pharaoh said to his servants, Can we find this man''s equal, a man in whom is the spirit of God? [39] And Pharaoh said to Joseph, Forasmuch as your God has shown you all this, there is nobody as intelligent and discreet and understanding and wise as you are. [40] You shall have charge over my house, and all my people shall be governed according to your word with reverence, submission, and obedience. Only in matters of the throne will I be greater than you are. [41] Then Pharaoh said to Joseph, See, I have set you over all the land of Egypt. [42] And Pharaoh took off his signet ring from his hand and put it on Joseph''s hand, and arrayed him in official vestments of fine linen and put a gold chain about his neck; [43] He made him to ride in the second chariot which he had, and officials cried before him, Bow the knee! And he set him over all the land of Egypt. [44] And Pharaoh said to Joseph, I am Pharaoh, and without you shall no man lift up his hand or foot in all the land of Egypt. [45] And Pharaoh called Joseph''s name Zaphenath-paneah and he gave him Asenath daughter of Potiphera, priest of On, to be his wife. And Joseph made an inspection tour of all the land of Egypt. [46] Joseph who had been in Egypt thirteen years was thirty years old when he stood before Pharaoh king of Egypt. Joseph went out from the presence of Pharaoh and went about his duties through all the land of Egypt..
Matthew 7:22-23 (AMP)
Many will say to Me on that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name and driven out demons in Your name and done many mighty works in Your name? [23] And then I will say to them openly (publicly), I never knew you; depart from Me, you who act wickedly disregarding My commands.
Matthew 25:21 (AMP)
His master said to him, Well done, you upright (honorable, admirable) and faithful servant! You have been faithful and trustworthy over a little; I will put you in charge of much. Enter into and share the joy (the delight, the blessedness) which your master enjoys

ARE YOU WILLING TO SWEAT BLOOD
ARE YOU WILLING TO SWEAT BLOOD
Between glories is the valley of the shadow of death. A place of darkness, designed to test your willingness to move forward. It's a place where the enemy comes in like a flood. Each glory, builds it's own comfort zone. The longer you are in the zone the more comfortable you become with the routine of that glory.
When you are in the moving process, to the next glory, you are out in the open and everything that you leaned on is removed. You have no idea how much you depended on your surroundings, built up by a routine, until change comes.
Fear is your greatest enemy, during change. This is the reason most determined Christians stop moving up.
Stress from the pressure of change reach maximum just on the edge of the new glory. There is a garden experience before the joy of the cross. Are you willing to sweat blood to reach the next glory. No one understands the inner pain of My darkness until they have experienced it. It is a place where every negative accusation is fired at you, over and over, with the intent of turning you back. When despair begins to move in, I show up to let you know, you are not really alone, I am there in your darkness.
When you step out of one glory, you will experience the great discomfort, of lack of control. The smallest thing that you handled with ease before, is a major task in darkness. Your inner man is stretched beyond belief. Everything in life becomes a big deal, because the routine you have depended on is gone. You want to cry for help, but those close to you say, what's the big deal?
Because its your valley, I am your only source, in the middle of the darkness. This is the price that few are willing to pay. This is the narrow gate, there is no joy in it, the joy is on the other side. The cross only leads to joy, the cross is death to self. How badly do you want to remain in the center of what I am doing.
If you choose to stay at your present Glory, the routine will loose purpose and direction. Everything will start to become mechanical. This is the birthplace of tradition. Doing something the same way, year in and year out, because that's the routine. Millions have chosen to stay, just as there were only two out of three million who went into the promised land.
The giants are in the garden, there are giants in every valley between two glories. If you will commit to moving to the next glory I with be with you all the way and you will not die in the valley. Push back fear with praise and bring every thought into captivity. The price is worth it, you will see as joy comes in the morning.
Luke 22:42-44 (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.
Hebrews 12:2-6 (AMP)
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.
Hebrews 4:1-3 (AMP)
THEREFORE, WHILE the promise of entering His rest still holds and is offered today, let us be afraid to distrust it, lest any of you should think he has come too late and has come short of reaching it. [2] For indeed we have had the glad tidings Gospel of God proclaimed to us just as truly as they the Israelites of old did when the good news of deliverance from bondage came to them; but the message they heard did not benefit them, because it was not mixed with faith (with the leaning of the entire personality on God in absolute trust and confidence in His power, wisdom, and goodness) by those who heard it; neither were they united in faith with the ones Joshua and Caleb who heard (did believe). [3] For we who have believed (adhered to and trusted in and relied on God) do enter that rest, in accordance with His declaration that those who did not believe should not enter when He said, As I swore in My wrath, They shall not enter My rest; and this He said although His works had been completed and prepared and waiting for all who would believe from the foundation of the world.
2 Corinthians 3:18 (KJV)
But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.
2 Corinthians 3:18 (AMP)
And all of us, as with unveiled face, because we continued to behold in the Word of God as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are constantly being transfigured into His very own image in ever increasing splendor and from one degree of glory to another; for this comes from the Lord Who is the Spirit.
Psalm 23:4 (AMP)
Yes, though I walk through the deep, sunless valley of the shadow of death, I will fear or dread no evil, for You are with me; Your rod to protect and Your staff to guide, they comfort me.

ENTERING THE GLORY ZONE DEMANDS CONSTANT CONTACT
ENTERING THE GLORY ZONE DEMANDS CONSTANT CONTACT
The glory zone is an area that is past the point of return. It is a place where My manifest presence is a constant. It is a place where kingdom reality make the facts lie. Where there is never enough money, yet there is always some left over. Its where Moses rod was manufactured, it's where I took the five loaves and two fish, which resulted in twelve left over baskets after feeding 5000 people.
The glory zone, is where the widow gave her last meal to Elijah, it's where oil filled every empty vessel, and the place where Elisha's mantle came from. It's a place where lions get lockjaw, giant fish transport people in their belly unharmed and fire looses it's power to consume human beings, in a furnace.
The glory zone is where praise causes earthquakes and jail doors swing open. A place where the sun stands still for one man. It's where a little boy stood and killed a giant with a slingshot. It's where a single man killed a thousand armed soldiers with the jawbone of an ass.
The glory zone is a place where you empty it all out, waiting for Me to refill it every day. It's a place where you take on twice as much as you can handle, trusting Me to enable you. A place where I write your daily schedule, because you haven't a clue what should be done next or the power to control the time table of others.
There is no disobedience in the glory zone, nor lust, nor pride, nor bitterness or greed, because to reside in the glory zone you must be in constant contact with Me. You are entering a place where every thought must be brought into captivity. I must be your focus at all times. When I walked the earth I moved about doing miracles, not because I was the Son of God but as the Son of Man, focused on My Father which kept Me in the glory zone.
The end time has arrived, it is a must to live in the glory zone to survive and be an overcomer. You can no longer talk about living the impossible life, it is now a must. Welcome to the scariest, most wonderful place on earth. Seeing death on both sides, but it isn't touching you; watching the sky fall, but not over your head; having bread enough and to spare during famine; walking in peace in the middle of battle, welcome to the glory zone.
To this point, My word has been a story book, to most western christians, but now you will live in storybook reality. In midst of all this, you will learn to enter My rest. I want you to reside here with Me until My glory fills the whole earth. If you abide in Me and My word abides in you, you are in the glory zone.
John 15:1-11 (AMP)
I AM the True Vine, and My Father is the Vinedresser. [2] Any branch in Me that does not bear fruit that stops bearing He cuts away (trims off, takes away); and He cleanses and repeatedly prunes every branch that continues to bear fruit, to make it bear more and richer and more excellent fruit. [3] You are cleansed and pruned already, because of the word which I have given you the teachings I have discussed with you. [4] 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.
Mark 6:42-44 (AMP)
And they all ate and were satisfied. [43] And they took up twelve small hand baskets full of broken pieces from the loaves and of the fish. [44] And those who ate the loaves were 5,000 men.
2 Kings 4:1-7 (AMP)
NOW THE wife of a son of the prophets cried to Elisha, Your servant my husband is dead, and you know that your servant feared the Lord. But the creditor has come to take my two sons to be his slaves. [2] Elisha said to her, What shall I do for you? Tell me, what have you of sale value in the house? She said, Your handmaid has nothing in the house except a jar of oil. [3] Then he said, Go around and borrow vessels from all your neighbors, empty vessels--and not a few. [4] And when you come in, shut the door upon you and your sons. Then pour out the oil you have into all those vessels, setting aside each one when it is full. [5] So she went from him and shut the door upon herself and her sons, who brought to her the vessels as she poured the oil. [6] When the vessels were all full, she said to her son, Bring me another vessel. And he said to her, There is not a one left. Then the oil stopped multiplying. [7] Then she came and told the man of God. He said, Go, sell the oil and pay your debt, and you and your sons live on the rest.
1 Kings 17:12-16 (AMP)
And she said, As the Lord your God lives, I have not a loaf baked but only a handful of meal in the jar and a little oil in the bottle. See, I am gathering two sticks, that I may go in and bake it for me and my son, that we may eat it--and die. [13] Elijah said to her, Fear not; go and do as you have said. But make me a little cake of it first and bring it to me, and afterward prepare some for yourself and your son. [14] For thus says the Lord, the God of Israel: The jar of meal shall not waste away or the bottle of oil fail until the day that the Lord sends rain on the earth. [15] She did as Elijah said. And she and he and her household ate for many days. [16] The jar of meal was not spent nor did the bottle of oil fail, according to the word which the Lord spoke through Elijah.
Joshua 10:12-14 (AMP)
Then Joshua spoke to the Lord on the day when the Lord gave the Amorites over to the Israelites, and he said in the sight of Israel, Sun, be silent and stand still at Gibeon, and you, moon, in the Valley of Ajalon! [13] And the sun stood still, and the moon stayed, until the nation took vengeance upon their enemies. Is not this written in the Book of Jasher? So the sun stood still in the midst of the heavens and did not hasten to go down for about a whole day. [14] There was no day like it before or since, when the Lord heeded the voice of a man. For the Lord fought for Israel.
The glory zone is an area that is past the point of return. It is a place where My manifest presence is a constant. It is a place where kingdom reality make the facts lie.
