“Be careful when you proclaim my name to all people. Some will persecute you for your bravery and courage but do not hesitate to do good and speak well of my cause. Some will refuse to listen to you because wolves in sheep’s clothing have persuaded them that my people are inherently evil.

The reality is that all people have failed me and those they should love, and they, just like everyone else, deserve my love and forgiveness. To forgive such as these is to demonstrate my power to change hearts into obedient, loving, and kind human beings.

Many will hear you, but they will fail to respond to me in any meaningful, lasting way. Likewise, a small remnant will hear you and be changed forever. Rejoice when they do, for they will be a force for good in my kingdom.

A small group can change a thousand hearts, so it is important for this small remnant to learn how to successfully proclaim my name. Teach them how to do this. Do not worry about this; I will give you the words to help them mature as Christians.

Love one another, for I love you. It is an active process to love others, so seek my face in doing so.”

“We never walk alone; you are always with me as I am with you. Yes, you may walk through the valley of death, but I  will be with you forever. Walk with me. Be with me. I am not scary. I am not unwise, as the many leaders of your country are unwise. Walk in the wise path.

I am the wise path that will keep your feet from faltering. Therefore, I say to you, ‘Heed my call. Seek me out. Find me in the darkness, and I  will  rescue you from that darkness.’ The willows wave and turn, yet their branches stay firmly attached to their trunks. Why?

So that they may receive nourishment from their source. I am your source. When the wind blows, flow with the storm but remain with me. I will provide you with never-ending nourishment for my name’s sake.”

“I am the Lord your God. Therefore, have no other gods before me. You continually create gods worse than those of the desert people who wandered for 40 years. This is not the way to my heart.

Desecrate those idols and return to me and I will warm your heart before men and before me. You are my beloved–my children. And I will honor you when you honor me. You worry so much about what others think and what others will do, but I am their God, too.

If they do not honor you for honoring me, then you are in good company. Think of Peter and James and Paul. They revered me and yet, the world did not understand them. They didn’t understand. Period.

Come to me and I will come to you. Be with me and I will be with you. I long to talk to you just as you talk to your family and friends. Be with me and I will be with you to the end of your days. Stay with me and I will stay with you.

I know your thoughts and your worries far more than you know your thoughts and worries. I will expose them to you, not to harm you, but to heal you as only I can. There is no earthly medicine for these wounds and hurts. There is only me to heal them.

Yes, you know much about how to cure the body, but you know little to heal your souls. Start there and the body will follow. Did you not see Jesus make this connection? The mind and the body are connected! I created you to experience life as I do–with everything connected to everything.

So, heal your mind and be transformed. Heal your body and see what effect that has on your psyche. Heal your soul and see how your mind and body are connected. See me, for I am the author of life itself and I have the power to transform everything that is part of you.”

“The time has come for all good men and women to stand for the Truth, the Way Everlasting, without reserve or turmoil or strife. The day has come for all to repent of their sins so that they might come into my kingdom and be saved from a fate worse than death.

Yes, there is such a thing and one would be smart and wise to acknowledge it and acknowledge me as the Lord of his or her life. This is the Way Everlasting, the good life, the life supreme.

Be wary of those who tell you otherwise, for they long to be right and hope my people are wrong. They would rather die eternally than admit they have been mistaken about this. It is the ultimate folly and hubris to suggest the opposite.”

“It is mine to decide who will be with me in the coming years. It is not yours to decide. You must repent of your sins–your struggles–and give them to me completely.

You cannot use me or mold me into what you think is God. I am God. I will be who I will be and you cannot change that to suit your needs. Honestly? All humans have the wrong conception of me and how I work.

It is my delight to be with you, but you cannot manipulate me by being what you conceive as good. You can only do what is allowed in human terms and that will never be enough to be with me continually.

The one way to be with me continually is to repent–turn away from your sins and see how I almost instantly begin to change your thoughts and emotions. When you subject yourself to me, that’s when you’re truly free and able to do the work I meant you to do from the very beginning of time. After all, I created time and it bends and yields to my commands.”

“Be still, my children, be still. The day is dawning when all will not be still, so enjoy the stillness with me. The day is dawning when unrest will be ever present, when stillness cannot be found, so treasure the stillness while it may be found.

I am in the stillness. That is where you will find me and learn from me. That is where you will know me as I know you. Be still, my children, be still.”

“Believe in me for I have spoken truth to you. I always do. To disregard my truth is to disregard me, for I am truth. Do not be dismayed when things do not go your way for, I have a plan for you, a plan you cannot imagine at this time.

Be steady in your faith in me for I am the Lord, your God, who commands the seas and the lakes and the rain and the drought. I can do no evil, but I can allow it because that may help you draw near to me and hear from me in fresh ways.

Not the Worldly Vision of Happiness…

I am in the suffering as much as I am in the joy. I am not the worldly vision of happiness; I am pure joy from here to infinite eternity. Rest in me and learn from me, for my ways are eternal–everlasting.

The days will come when this sinful world will end. You can be assured this is true,” thus says the Lord. continue reading…

“I am the Lord, your God, but I am also the Lord, your love, your one true love. Be still before me so that I may pierce your heart with my love for you, my goodness that I desire for you.

Be still before me and I will meet you there on the wings of a dove descending into your heart for I long to meet with you and share my truth with you. Do not be afraid of me, for I am with you to the end of the age and I mean you no harm. In fact I mean you only good.”

“Believe in the Lord, your God for I am worthy of your belief and trust in me. I do not harm my children. I gently lead them to the truth. I gently help them yield their lives that do not produce fruit, my fruit, the fruit of the Spirit and a world full of goodness and truth.

This is my Word and you would do well to believe in me for all time. I am worthy of your praise. I am worthy of your love. I am worthy of your trust in me.

Your Warrior…

Do not be deceived by the workings and mechanics of this world. This world does not belong to me right now; it belongs to the evil one, who seeks to destroy you and those you love for all time.

But I have redeemed you for my kingdom. I sent my son, Jesus, to be your warrior and to die for your sins–die in your place. That means no more death for you! continue reading…

“Give me your heart and I will ransom you from those who wish to oppress you. You are the apple of my eye, the song of my heart, the twinkling of a brilliant light for good.”
