Picture yourself as an archer. You skillfully hold the bow,
focusing on the target, sharpening the better of your eyes, aim
exactly as you pull the arrow, stretching the string to the point
where you feel that this is what will give the arrow the
momentum needed to hit the bull’s eye with the right impact.
That's what good prayer is like. It's time to cultivate that skill,
give it the place of honor it deserves as a means to survival.
Your soul is the bow, the arrow is your prayer, & My heart is the
bull’s eye. I am the True Goal, & if you hit Me, it’ll always have the
desired effect. You only need to shoot short distance, as I’m
always close. Just wrap your burden, your question or desire
around the arrow & let it fly to Me.

I’m glad, I rejoice when I can make you happy. For this is My
happiness. I have no other. This is My purpose, to make My
children, My bride happy. In this I find the greatest of pleasures &
fulfillment. Nothing else will ever satisfy Me as much. And the
fact that after our making love, and you finding your ecstasies in
Me, you reward Me with the fruit of MORE babies, NEW brides for
My kingdom. In this, the circle is made complete. The eternal
circle of being fruitful & multiplying. Obeying My commandments
& bringing forth ever fresh, new fruit to Me & that your fruit
remain, and in turn that fruit should again bring forth more new
fruit. No, it’s not a process that can be achieved rushedly. You
don’t just pop a seed in the ground and ‘plop’ an new tree or
plant stands there, but first the seed has to remain in the soil, be
moistened & warmed, until its shell grows soft & breaks open.
Then a tender shoot pokes out its tiny white tip at first, then it
grows, and after a while you see the first tiny leaf on the surface.
I specify in quality fruit. Quantity’s alright, but quality is better.
You, the sons & daughters of David, are My choicest & favorite
branch. In you I specially delight, for you render the pleasures
unto Me that the others don’t dare. Oh, they bring forth fruit unto
Me, and I delight in them, and I reward them and care for them,
and sometimes it seems to you that they are even closer to Me,
as they are so sacrificial, so obedient, they don’t seem to be
battling some of the besetting sins you have to battle, they seem
purer in your eyes. Nay, I say, this is only because they are
shutting & sealing themselves off completely from the world of
delights which I have created, but they don’t dare admit that they
not only come of Me, but that I delight in them, too. You are the
ones I have blessed with that liberty. You long for it, you desire it,
and sometimes you get homesick for Heaven, longing for the
sweet, pure liberties you will experience here as naturally as
eating a meal on Earth. Without any of the curses & plagues of
jealousy, much less any of the physical dangers of diseases
which are associated with sexual freedom on Earth right now. In
My Kingdom all these things won’t be anymore, and all things
will be pure. Oh what a day that shall be when thou shalt join with
Me in My Kingdom, to be ravished by Me forevermore. Thou shalt
have such joy that thou hast never known and thou shalt see
such beauties that thou hast never seen. And thou shalt know
that it HAS been worth it all – all that thou hast suffered, and all
that thou shalt yet go through. Thank you, for coming into My
arms, My dear! Thank you for loving Me, making love to Me &
bearing fruit for Me: Wilt thou bring forth more fruit? Yes? Then
just keep coming... keep coming... keep ever coming for more,
and I will give you until you are full, until you are truly satisfied,
until you lie exhausted and completely exasperated, thrilled, and
helplessly & hopelessly surrendered to Me, the Master of your
soul. I have created thee for that purpose, to be ravished by Me.
For you to lie naked before Me & let Me take you & fulfill your
wildest dreams. Let Me kiss you with My words, let Me make love
to you with them, for they are My seeds that will bring forth the
fruit that you and I desire. They are what will make us one, if you
absorb them and let them mingle with your being. They are the
everlasting magic that will spring forth in miracles thou hast not
seen, nor heard of. They are what will make you invincible. They
will cause you to rise above this physical dimension, which you
now as yet feel limited & bound to... Not for much longer, My
darling. For soon you will fly! No, you will never come back down
to their earthly level once I’m done with you, darling. And you
wouldn’t want to for nothing in this world. You know it’s just a
shadow in comparison to the true pleasures I have in store for
you. You know it is nothing and count the riches of this world but
dung. They are an illusion of the Enemy of their souls, a fake, a
cheap, sparkling & shiny counterfeit, ‘The most desired object in
the world’, and once you get near it, it turns out to be a cage
hung over the black abyss of nothingness. Only focus on Me,
Who giveth you richly ALL THINGS to ENJOY, the eternal Giver
and Source of every good & perfect gift: your only link with true
happiness. Amen, child? Cling to Me!”

Because you receive & believe the New Wine, there are always
constant new revelations, spiritual renewing of vision & outlook,
new perspectives & views in your life, which give your life & mind
hardly enough time to stagnate & settle for the old, comfortable
rut. As long as you keep receiving the New Wine & do your best
to give out what you’ve received to always make room for more
new revelations, you can’t get stuck in a rut, even if you’re
tempted to. The simple act of drinking in & receiving & believing
the Word is already an active part of fighting the Devil, as you will
defeat doubts, thoughts of the Enemy, clearing out his cobwebs
& keeping your mind & heart clean of any of his dirt.
‘Now ye are clean through the Words which I have spoken unto
you’.
There’s nothing more important you can do than absorb & drink
in My cleansing, purifying, strengthening Words.
13 ____________________________________________________
What I have said, I have said for all. For now it is spoken in the
dark, and only few hear & listen. But soon it will be heard
everywhere. My voice shall be heard in all corners of the Earth,
and My Words will be known by all, great & small.
14 ____________________________________________________
Count your blessings & assess all I’m doing for you, gather the
sum of what you’ve learned, and testify of them. The more you
know, the more responsible you’ll be to act accordingly. If ye
know these things, happy are ye if you DO them. Redeem the
time, for the days are evil.
15 ____________________________________________________
As long as you learn from your mistakes, nothing is lost. Even
your mistakes made are then one of ‘all things’ which work
together for good for them that love Me. Turn around, determine
to keep an eye on that weakness, ask Me to help you be on guard
& ‘deliver you from evil’, strengthen the feeble knees & the hands
that hang down, & go to work on building new, healthier habits.
And that’s what you call ‘progress’ & learning.
16 ____________________________________________________
Soon that which they say now rules the world – money – will
be no more, and you will look and it’s gone. First to be replaced
by Satan’s mark for his short time and then to be replaced
forever and eternally by My new & everlasting System of true
values. Prepare for it and adapt to it, learning to apply the true
values of faith and unselfish love right now, and you will be rich.
People will come to you & look up to you for possessing the
most priceless possessions which no money on Earth can buy.
Build lasting works onto the true foundation of faith in Me. Build,
in faithful labors of love, an everlasting house of souls unto Me,
reap a harvest of gold, pure & everlasting. Cling tightly to Me, so
you will gain the strength you need. The hour of darkness is
coming. Let Me be your only light, and I will light your path. I will
guide you where all other men’s hearts would fail from fear. I will
uphold you with the right hand of My righteousness. I do not lie.
Each of My Words is worth infinitely more than the most valuable
bill or coin. My Word has brought forth the universe, which has
brought forth everything humans manufacture and produce and
sell for a certain price in the first place. They’re all just borrowing
it from Me to begin with. They’re all living on borrowed time, and
guess Who they’re borrowing it from? I lend it to them, and soon
I will return to see what each man has done with it and reward
them accordingly.
Pay respect to Him, to Whom honor is due, the Maker and Giver
of all things!
Those who are rich in this world often walk away from Me sadly,
unwilling to find true happiness in giving their all to Me and
others to bring them Salvation & happiness.
When I return, will you cry, ‘If I only had given up this thing and
that or the other for the Lord, how many more I could have
saved!’?
It requires faith to set your affections on things above. Faith
which is acquired by faithful intake of My Word, so invest your
time, your Earthly currency, wisely and well. Tomorrow the
dividends and gains of your investment may be required of you.
Will you be found wanting?
Every moment you spend with Me, is time invested wisely. Every
Word you glean from My lips is another wealth of those true &
lasting riches. You do not wrong in sitting at My feet & gleaning
those riches.
All must die, although the Enemy has duped them into a state
where they seem to be oblivious to that fact. Every second of
every minute of every hour of every day a person dies, and yet it
doesn’t occur to the majority of them to make any preparations
for that event.
Instead, they keep pursuing that which is Earthly, fleeting and
timely, only to be losing it all in the end and to stand before Me
with empty hands. Be not thou like them, but learn of Me. The
way of the cross is the way of true glory. Forsake that which
might bring you temporary glory in their sight, and come, follow
Me! Please do, for every day you spend in other pursuits is a day
lost for Me!
Invest your time wisely, by bringing every moment, every action,
every move, every breath of your life to Me and letting Me use it
to the full. Then you won’t have to be ashamed. If it is Me that
worketh in you, you’ve got nothing to lose, nothing to regret,
only to gain, to grow, to expand, to multiply, to further & advance
My Kingdom. To give means to invest. To invest means to earn &
reap & harvest the dividends. You sow in tears and shall reap in
joy.
This is the way, walk ye in it! This is the path I have ordained for
you, the irregular path, the ‘crazy’ path of a prophet. Now
therefore, look nor hearken neither to the left, nor to the right
anymore, for any of their opinions. If you would save their souls,
you must ignore their opinions. Realize that they are the ones in
want, in need, in danger, yea, in the valley of the shadow of
death, and you are the one with the answer, their salvation.
Things will NOT continue as they were. And when they will
change, when that which is forecast will come to pass, then you
will have your chance, and I will have My chance, if you will let
Me work and speak and move and live through you. That’s why
you must train now, so you will be prepared when it happens.
Be like Me. Enduring unto the end. And I am with you always
even unto the end of the world, which isn’t that far off anymore.
17 _____________________________________________________
If you don’t expect miracles, how do you think they’re ever
going to happen?
It’s your expectancy, your faith, your counting on Me doing it,
that makes it happen. Just like you’re pulling down this prophecy
right now, just like you know I will talk to you if you expect Me to,
likewise I’m ready & willing to do anything else for you, if you
just believe it.
Pray much more for those around you, for your prayers can do &
will do mighty things, which, in turn will strengthen your faith,
and their faith, and result in more people praying, more prayers,
more miracles, etc.
So, look not at the waves, nor at the wind, at the state of the
world, much less listen to their doubtful opinions, but stay close
to Me and stand up for Me. Pray down strength from Me, and
that’s how I will be able to shine through you. Let go & let Me.
Just let Me do it for you, through you, with you, and in spite of
you. That little spark & ember of faith, unseeming in its
appearance, hardly there, hardly noticeable, is the one big
difference between you & the rest of them around you, for with
that little switch of faith you can turn on My power. Turn it on!
Make it happen! Let it shine! Turn the keys of the Kingdom to get
the heavenly machinery of miracles working for you! Let that
engine take you far!
18 _____________________________________________________
Lift your eyes into the distance & the future I have in store for
you! Lift up your eyes & look on the fields, for there will be a
mighty harvest.
19 _____________________________________________________
Shoot your arrow of your vision, your destiny, your prayers
into the future which is as bright & golden as My promises.
Give your life to others, & it shall be given unto you! Give NOW,
before it’s too late!
20 _____________________________________________________
GOD FIRST! Always remember that! ‘NOT A MOVE WITHOUT
YOU’ is a good slogan.
21 _____________________________________________________
It’s those seemingly small disobediences that the superficial
eye can sometimes barely distinguish as such, that cause the
greatest pain & damage sometimes: Esau’s mess of pottage for a
birthright, Saul’s sparing of the Amalekite... The burying of the
talent... It all comes down to the one great commandment. For if
they would have loved Me with all their hearts, they wouldn’t
have obeyed half-heartedly; they would have carried out My
instructions to the full.
Full faith, love & trust means being afraid to make a move
without Me.
I should always be your first & foremost focus point of
communication! Without Me you could make a mess of things.
Only I’m way out there & know what’s ahead, where the dangers
lie & I can show you ‘things thou knowest not’ – great & mighty
or humble & small. But the things I show you will make all the
difference in the universe.
If you would only know how loved you are! If you had only a
glimpse of My love for you!
I’m not bound by many or few. I’m the Creator & am privy to the
exception to every rule I ever made. There’s always a ‘deeper
magic from before time’, some clause in the contract of the
foundations of creation that the Enemy in his shortsightedness &
blind rage & lust for power is not aware of.
22 _____________________________________________________
Your weakness is your strength, for My strength is made
perfect in weakness. Your weakness is what makes you turn to
Me instead of running out the door & jumping right into the day
without Me. Your discomfort is what makes you feel not at home
in this world, which is what I desire, so you seek Me and My
Kingdom first.
23 _____________________________________________________
As your faith and your ability to rise above grows, you will
learn to smile & be joyful in spite of all the oppression around
you, for you will carry My victory in your heart.
There’s no limit to what I can do through & for you! The more
effort you make to let My Spirit rule in your lives, the less room
there will be for any minions of the Devil to hang around.
Make every move & speak every word in My authority, in the
power of My Spirit!
You can’t witness ‘in the flesh’ if you want to win souls.
24 _____________________________________________________
I want to renew your lives, raise your standard to a new one, a
new level you hadn’t attained before. The wheel of revolution is
rolling in your life.
This new & higher standard will not come by itself. It will require
both, spiritual efforts in seeking My guidance faithfully & obeying
by then applying them to the physical: doing the manual jobs of
applying elbow grease to whatever thy hand findeth to do.
25 _____________________________________________________
Once you learn to pray in everything you do, you’ll get closer
to the ultimate goal of ‘turning every thought into a prayer’. Mark
16:15 is actually a part of My great commandment to love your
neighbor as thyself. Another part of it is to pray for them. Your
top 3 priorities are:
1. The Word
2. Prayer
3. Witnessing
No. 1 is the obedience of the great commandment to ‘love the

something bad. Well, with so much to cry about when you look at
the sorry state of the world, it’s definitely better to cry than to
laugh away your life in silly foolishness, like so many of them do.
The Devil’s entertainments & amusements are distractions that
lure you away from thinking about reality. The reality that the
world is in such a poor state, you should be crying instead of
laughing! You should be shedding tears in desperate prayer for
all the heartless injustices, cruelties & torturous crimes that are
being committed by the wicked every second of every hour of
every day, and pray like a house on fire that you won’t be found
guilty of their sins, too, by participating in their delicacies they
derive out of other people’s pain.
Sure, you are saved, all your sins are forgiven. But all the ones
who will be lost because you were too busy entertaining yourself
instead of doing what you could to get them saved will one day
make you cry. Why do you think I have to wipe away so many
tears from My children’s eyes? Because they fail to weep & pray
in intercessory prayer for them now. Because they fail to sow the
seeds in weeping now. Because, if they would, joy would come in
the morning, but great will be the lamentation of those who fail to
sow My seeds in this life, when this is what I would have wanted
them to do. Great will be the sorrow of those who fail Me and the
lost who are searching for Me, when it would have been in their
ability to save them, but they would not, simply because they
were too busy entertaining themselves... Can you see the atrocity
of this? Be not deceived into thinking that I will judge
unrighteous judgment, for this is what My blind enemies on Earth
say about Me: "What kind of a God is this, who rewards his rich,
spoiled, pampered & indulgent children with heaven for
exploiting the poor? For refusing to share their wealth? For not
only standing by in cold indifference while others suffer & die,
but even being the perpetrators & cause of their suffering, more
often than not?" Can you blame them for rejecting Me & refusing
to believe in the God of such a distorted picture of what is being
portrayed as Christianity? Can you imagine how much that hurts
Me? Can you imagine how sick with anguish it makes Me? No,
you cannot.
So, don’t be deceived by any means, into thinking, that all those
lukewarm, selfish, self-indulgent so-called Christians will go
unpunished, and woe unto you, if you are going to be counted
among them. Being spewed out of My mouth isn’t going to be as
glorious as they may picture heaven to be. Living in everlasting
shame & contempt, while those they abused & neglected will find
comfort in My bosom won’t be all that glorious, either. Only My
faithful ones, those who truly give their lives in order for others
to find Me will be rewarded richly.
The others will even lose that which they think they have. Poor,
destitute & naked, not rich & adorned, as she pictures herself to
be. Oh, how Satan has deceived her into perceiving herself as a
queen. His magic, fake mirror of false images distorts grossly the
reality of the way things really are & the way I see things. Soon
that glass will be shattered, and there will be great wondering,
amazement, and the shock will be so great that there even will be
half an hour of silence in all of heaven. The awe of her exposure
will be so great... nothing will move... only silence. Imagine the
whole universe staring at you for half an hour, pondering the
shame you have brought upon My name by your bad behavior:
This will be the fate of the Laodecian church. The lukewarm
Christians. Oh, be not counted among them, but get on fire &
burn your life, like a candle at both ends, & give, give your life
unto them for Me! Please! I beg you, for your own sakes, for lost
souls’ sakes, for the sake of their eternal future and yours:
Choose ye THIS DAY whom ye shall serve, for soon it will be too
late. As certain and as truly as My name is the name in which
every knee shall bow, as truly as My throne is established in
righteous judgment, I swear by My holy name: I will not let these
injustices committed by My wayward children go unpunished.
There will be no excuse. There will be no weaseling out of the
responsibility & the guilt by lamenting, "Oh, but we were
deceived! Satan has sent his emissaries to join our ranks & has
deceived us. He has lured us away from the true path with his
riches, with his splendor, with his lies & temptations!" Nay, but I
will say unto them: "But I have sent you My prophets, to whom
you would not listen! I have given you My Words, but you would
not hear. You hardened your hearts every time You heard My
voice in your conscience, you chose the easy way, the selfish
way every time.
Oh, yes, you gave a little bit of your money to your church, and
you will be rewarded if this money was used to support
missionaries who helped others to find Me. But what is that,
compared to what you could have given, compared to what you
could have done? You called Me, ‘Lord, Lord...’ every Sunday in
your church, but I wasn’t your Lord. I was not your God. The god
you trusted in was the god of this world, the god of money, the
god of mammon, the gods of pleasure, your own bellies, your
own luxuries. For if I would have been your God, you would have
sacrificed these things unto Me, you would have laid them on the
altar, in order to help others to find Me, those, who knew Me not,
those who were waiting, starving & freezing for My Word, for My
gospel from your hands. Instead you tried to pay Me off with a
little here & a little there... just enough to stop your conscience
from burning like a prick in your sides. Just enough to deceive
you into thinking that you were so good, so much better than
those godless, ignorant, uncultivated non-Christians, those
heathen, those pagans. YOU have turned My creation into hell;
they didn’t! You have exploited the poorer nations of this Earth;
they didn’t. You professed to have known better, claimed to
possess the exclusive truth; they didn’t. Well, it turns out you
missed an important part of that simple truth of Mine: Love!"
It all comes back down to love... the meaning of existence. And
the sooner you get it, the better. The sooner you GIVE it, the
better! The sooner you forget everything else & get out there &
obey this greatest, yes, this single most important of all My
commandments, the better! Go & obey this one rule of Mine &
you WILL fare well:
‘Thou shalt LOVE!’ Write this commandment on the tablets of
your hearts. Engrave it so deeply, you will never ever be tempted
to forget it again, not even for a single moment: ‘Thou shalt
LOVE!’ All else will fade away, will be worthless, embarrassing
ashes between your teeth, only what’s done in love will count &
stay. Love today!
48 _____________________________________________________
To pour out your hearts unto Me for the sake of others is an
essential part of worshipping Me, loving Me & your neighbor as
thyself, which you must not neglect.
Through prayer you have the power which created the universe
at your disposal, at your service to do anything for you, so don’t
let laziness keep you from making use of it!
49 _____________________________________________________
You must be stirred to greater action than ever before, if you
want to be used by Me in the future, if you even want to survive
the impending future events. The Enemy will continue to tempt
you with decoys & tricks to get you away from My highest & best,
so, beware!
Make prayer, your most important task in life a habit! Use that
power! You can really change things if you pray! ‘The effectual,
fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much!’ And this is
almost an understatement in these modern times and in relation
to what you could accomplish! Change the world through prayer!
Change your life & the lives of those around you! Just DO IT!

When you are weak, then you are strong. Walk in humility.
What makes you truly great is not the talent I have given you, but
the anointing I give you whenever I am able to use you, speak &
flow through. In doing so, you won’t have to rely on the flesh
anymore, for I will do it all. I have begun the good work in you,
and I will perfect it. I have said it, and I have done it. It is done
already. The things I have revealed in the Spirit long ago, they are
done already, they have come to pass already in My eyes, so,
walk with your head held high & shine, shine now as you will
shine then, for Me it’s already all the same.
Yes, there are trials & tests still before you. Greater ones than
you have ever experienced so far. But in My eyes, you have
passed them already, for I know you will cling to Me as your only
hope. You have put Me first, and are determined to keep doing
so.
You have stopped running away. You are heeding My call,
embracing My love & I hope you will continue to treasure it more
than anything.
The greatest temptation for a sincere Christian is to make a god
out of his duties toward Me, instead of worshipping Me wholly,
so, don’t ever forget that: I want You much more than the
bedroom slippers you make for Me.
You can’t look to people for inspiration and fulfillment. You will
only find your lasting joy in close communion & constant union
with Me.
Stay close to Me! Don’t run away! Hold My hand! Receive My
whispers! Try to hear them when you read your mails, when you
drive, when you sing, & learn to keep in constant tune with Me.
Put Me on fully! Let Me be you!

With man it’s impossible, but I am a God Who thrives on man’s
extremities. Where you can’t anymore, there I can. Where you
end & come to the end of your capacities, there I begin & have a
chance to start working – finally! – through you.
Not by might nor by power – nor by man’s gifts, wit or prudence
– but by My Spirit. Only if I enable you, you have the strength to
work these workings of My Spirit. The flesh is utterly incapable,
useless a hindrance, an annoyance. It doesn’t cut the cake when
you intend to do My work & the works of My Spirit. It’s got to be
My Spirit in you!
Keep going & keep trying for Me, even if they don’t respond.
Beckon & urge them to follow Me, even if they do so reluctantly.
Pressure from Me gets My prophets out of the System, & then it’s
gotta be them to exert pressure on the people, to get them out,
too.
The System’s brainwash taught you, ‘You shouldn’t pressure
anyone, especially when it comes to religious matters!’
The devil has become a master at subtly spreading his message,
camouflaging it in cloaks of ‘independence’ & ‘individuality’,
when all the while conniving to enslave them all to his demons,
manifested in their own lusts, selfish pursuits & ambitions.
Be freed from this lie, which has been binding you, tying your
hands & stopping your mouth, keeping you from proclaiming My
truth as you should.
Be no longer stopped by their outward shows of reluctance. It’s
much like a woman’s outwardly cold pretense of not being
interested in a man, while inwardly craving his every bit of
attention.
I’ve left some special rewards to the wise, those, who don’t give
up too easily, the persistent ones. If things would have be too
easy, there would be no challenge. You’ve got to fight
persistently to reap the most precious blessings & benefits in
life. It’s hard work, even spiritually. Attack this hurdle with fervor
& determination, & you will become a true overcomer &
accomplisher of the lasting works of My Spirit. Tackle this
obstacle, & you will truly become a useful tool in My hands, for
you will truly have learned to operate in the Spirit!
It’s a spiritual effort, a spiritual push, & you’ve got to put some
real spiritual force, umph & drive into it to get the desired results.
Be a spiritually violent & forceful warrior, tearing down the
Devil’s strongholds in the hearts of the children of men.
Develop your spiritual muscles, work out & work’em up. Become
a strong man in My Spirit.
Hurt feelings & sensitivity come only from the System’s hogwash
of pride. Up Here, the truth is welcome in its full power, for it is
known as a force of liberation from Earthly chains of pride &
inhibitions.
No more cowardly & weakly chickening out & backing up at the
slightest show & display of reluctance & resistance, okay? Attack
the goal & the foe before you head on! Race toward the mark of
the prize! Move forward! Don’t retreat! No surrender! Not an inch!
Okay? That’s the Spirit!
102 ____________________________________________________
I do some things to teach you patience, other things to keep
you patient, and yet others to make sure you’re still patient. For
verily, you have need of patience. Patience with others, even
patience with yourself. Patience with your & their mistakes &
faults...
There is nothing greater you can accomplish but to love Me and
those around you.
103 ____________________________________________________
I’m always available, always eager to hear from you, and
more willing to give than you are to receive.
Ask Me about the things that are going on in your life. There is so
much to learn from all you’re going through. I know that the more
I give you, the more you will overflow onto others.
I won’t judge anyone by the amount of souls they have won, only
by their faithfulness to do whatever they could in their situation.
But those samples of outstanding performances or
achievements for Me should give you an alternative to what
you’re seeing on your right and on your left, and for you to know
that nothing is impossible and there are no limits to what I can do
with a man who is determined to let Me use him.
To feel bad about it would be the opposite of the desired effect &
definitely does not come from Me.
Let those positive testimonies inspire you and encourage you to
attain to greater heights & actions for Me! What I’ve done through
others!
Let Me prove to you that nothing’s impossible.
I dread that spirit of conformity, that ‘normal’ way & the urge of
people to adapt & assimilate the style, the behavior & the exact
patterns of everyone around them. I love it when someone dares
to be different, to step out of the norm, the habitual scheme...
That’s the kind of people with the potential to change the world.

Everything is dead without the Spirit. All the perfection one

the spirit, not merely acknowledge data & accumulate
information. Don’t just accept facts with your brain, but come to

information adequately, and the right bits at the right time. That’s

a whole new meaning & they will come & go with such greater
ease.
I want you to know beyond the shadow of a doubt, that I’m
always right here with you!
I need you to be alone with Me before I can teach you how to
successfully live with & lead & guide & shepherd others. There’s
always more of Me & what I give is only limited by what you can
handle.
120 ____________________________________________________
Just because your personal experiences have formed a certain
frame of what you can imagine as possible and what not, it
doesn’t really have any influence whatsoever on the fact whether
it’s really possible or not. And My children should always know,
that in spite of their own limited experience & all they’ve learned
to be ‘possible’ or not, all things are possible to him that
believeth, for with Me, nothing shall be impossible.
Don’t be deceived by the apparent, don’t limit yourselves to your
own finite minds and experiences. Ask Me to open your eyes &
expand your vision that you may be able to see those things
which right now you can’t see. Call on the keys of vision &
understanding, and I will broaden your perception.
Just because you can’t see Me doesn’t mean I’m not there. Just
because you can’t see Uranus, Pluto or Jupiter – at least not in
broad daylight, doesn’t mean they’re not there. Just because you
can’t see My millions of angels & spirit helpers doesn’t mean...
and so on. There’s more to life than what meets the eye.
121 ____________________________________________________
Just as it is more blessed to give than to receive, so it is more
blessed to love than to be loved. - And the most blessed is the
ability to love unconditionally, even when that love isn’t requited
or even appreciated, to give when you apparently receive nothing
in return. That is love that overcometh all things. Love that rises
above the circumstances. Love that sees beyond that which
meets the eye, into a distant future, where even the most
seemingly futile efforts of love are richly rewarded, and, oh, will
they be appreciated then.
Even those to whom you were pouring out your love, who didn’t
appreciate it when you did, and it was like pouring water into a
bucket full of holes, it will fall like scales from their eyes, & they
will be so thankful. I doubly appreciate your efforts to love when
that love is not returned.
There will be tears in Heaven, but mostly tears of joy & of
gratitude for the unspeakable love that gave when nothing was
given in return, love that never gave up, refusing to look
anywhere but toward that day when your seemingly lost efforts
will meet the highest reward.
Regardless of any other ambition in life one may have right now:
Love is the only light, the only truth, the only thing that gives a
life purpose.
Love will never be lost. Though all the riches in the world & all
the mighty monuments to the accomplishments of man will
cease & sink into the sand, love will remain, for it is the eternal
essence, that part of Me in this world that will outlast everything.
Love, only love will remain.
122 ____________________________________________________
‘For they all seek their own & not that which is Christ’s’ –
Everybody’s into their own thing; their own plans, interests,
dreams, opinions, views – their own world. ‘Except a grain of
wheat fall into the ground & die, it abideth alone... ’ On its own,
the grain of wheat doesn’t do much good. And down there in the
darkness it doesn’t see, feel or perceive much but its immediate
surroundings: the earth & the worms, an occasional mole or bug.
But if it absorbs the heat of My sunshine & the waters of My rain
& lets its shell become soft, something inside starts growing,
which finally wants to burst through the shell of your former
confines. And that’s the moment when your old man dies to make
room for something new, something greater than your former
self.
And as you grow steadily heavenward, finally you see the light &
eventually find yourself side by side with many, countless other
stalks of grain. Your roots intertwined with theirs, you sway &
dance in the wind in unison, you’re not an individual entity
anymore, alone – no, that lone self & former you has died –
you’re one with the harvest now, ready to ‘bring forth much fruit’.
123 ____________________________________________________
I am a God of the New. I am always the ‘new’, the unknown
element, which is why people shun Me, for they are used to their
old, comfortable ruts. Because they have no changes, therefore
they fear Me not. For I am the God of change, and he that is open
to Me is open to change. He that seeks Me seeks the new.
124 ____________________________________________________
I am the difference between life & death. For I am Life, &
without Me, you’re dead. – Lifeless, motionless, dead. If you
would be fully aware of how incapable you are to get anything
accomplished without My help, you would constantly be seeking
My contact, desperately grasping for Me as a drowning man
grasping for air.
I am your oxygen. I am what keeps you alive. If I withdraw just a
fraction of the necessary ingredients to keep you alive, your
body would cease to exist. What man is taking for granted is
actually an endless sequence of miracles.
Don’t think of the eternal realm as a lesser realm. The pride of
man is thus that he considers his own world superior, just like
most people consider everything that is their own to be of
superior value than that which is someone else’s: whether it be
their own opinion, their own point of view, their own country or
family or way of doing things... their own religion.
That’s the difference between true faith & all false religions. True
faith is the opposite of all that is ‘your own’, for it comes not from
‘your own’ world, nor ‘your own’ mind, nor from any place or
realm that is ‘your own’. For the Kingdom of God does not
belong to any man, but any man can choose to belong to the

128 ____________________________________________________
My Love for you grows. Especially when I see that you’re
trying your best to obey Me, trust Me & follow Me... It makes Me
so proud of you.
I’m proud of you for being willing to be different. I’m proud of you
for being willing not to be conformed to any cliché, anything
that’s been there, but for having the courage to be something
completely new & unorthodox.
When it comes to this world, I’ve always been strange & weird,
not because I am weird, but because they’re so far away from the
way things are supposed to be. They’re so far away from My
standard of love, so deep into their darkness, the light scares
them half to death.
It takes humility to be willing to seemingly be the loser, but
humility is one of the most precious & most to be desired
qualities in the universe! Strive for the golden garment of
humility! It only looks like a shaggy rag in this world, especially
to unbelievers & captives of mammon, but to the eyes of faith it
is one of the greatest treasures to be desired.
If you want to learn of Me, seek humility! If you want to follow Me,
bathe yourself in humility! If you want to be like Me, acquire
humility! If you would be truly free, desire humility. Humility is
wise & meek, not easily puffed up, not easily provoked....
Humility is love.
Whatever you do, don’t let it become tainted with pride, but make
your humility plain & obvious to all men. For it is pride that
makes people rise against each other & spout out hateful words.
But humility always takes the low seat, apologizes, and is meek.
This doesn’t mean you’re supposed to let them trample all over
you, but it does mean that you should remain polite & calm, and
not reel off a barrage of bad language, even if you may have all
the legitimate reasons in the world for it. Trust Me, and leave
these matters in My hands & learn not to get upset when
something happens, but to take it as from My hand, even as a
test. Just take it as something that I’m allowing to happen in your
life right now, for a purpose, even if it’s just to see whether you’ll
be smart enough to just give it back to Me. Just say, ‘Thank You,
Lord, for handing us this situation! Could we now kindly hand it
back to You, for You to take care of it? We can’t, Lord! We thank
You for this terrific lesson, Lord, but You’re going to have to take
care of the details, show us how to handle this & do the rest, the
part we can’t...’
That is wisdom. That is faith. That is believing Romans 8:28.
That’s trusting Me the way it pleases Me. That’s knowing that I’m
in control. And no matter how grave the situation may look right
this minute, by faith & by My grace, you’ll be able to laugh about
it tomorrow, next week, or at the very latest when you’re with Me
in My Kingdom. I’d be honored to prove Myself worthy of the
trust you put in Me.

If I hadn’t given you the power to remedy this situation, the
solution, & hadn't made it possible for you to solve this problem,
I would not have allowed it. There IS an answer to every problem.
It’s just that most people don’t even look for it, or have the faith
that it is there, or they think, ‘Nah, that’s too simple...’! My
answers always had to be easy enough for a child to grasp them,
otherwise they wouldn’t have been universal enough.
Love is the answer. Prayer is the answer. They can come up with
all their carefully designed plans of improvement, but if they
can’t come up with love & faith, they won’t succeed. Sooner or
later, every human being will have to come face to face with the
fact that without Me you can do nothing. Let’s face it: without Me
you can’t even breathe. Who made the lungs & the oxygen? And
Who created the process that made an endless supply of oxygen
possible? Just because they refuse to give the credit to Me
doesn’t change the fact that I’m still responsible for it.
Air is a good description of My nature: It is invisible, yet vital &
all around you. Sometimes it is warm & still & sometimes whips
your faith in strong winds, or wreaks judgment over the Earth in
fierce storms. Mostly taken for granted, you never miss it as
much as when it’s not there, just like people are most desperate
for Me when I remove the things that keep them alive, when
they’re nearing their death... That’s when they realize in terror
that they can’t survive another minute without that certain
something they’ve been taking for granted all their lives, like a
drowning man.
Independence from Me is as if the Earth would declare its
independence from the sun & drift off into space. I’ve written it all
over My handiwork: ‘you need Me, you can’t do without Me any
more than a fish can do without water, a plant can do without
light, no more than you can live without air: without Me, you can
do nothing!’
With all their knowledge about the intricacy of My creation, of
how complex everything is, they still refuse to accept Me, just
because that would be ‘too simple’...
View your task as one of a life-guard, offering the rope of
Salvation to a drowning population.
Those who are firmly anchored in this World will go down with it.
But those who let go, and have got nothing to lose are the truly
blessed ones. ‘Freedom’s just another word for Nothing left to
lose’...
I am your Home & your Refuge! Seek not any Earthly security,
which is all fake & temporal anyway. Stay close to Me, the One
Who can ensure your safety, your health & your survival,
wherever you are. Once you realize that nothing else matters but
Me, you will live happily & in freedom.

Count the cost, My loves, lest you find out in the middle of the
road that the price is higher than what you are willing and able to
pay, and you might have to turn around again. Determine whether
you’re really willing to pay the maximum price of surrendering all
Many people said they were going to follow & serve Me, went
back ashamed, because the price turned out to be higher than
what they had expected.
Giving all means total death to self, letting it all go completely,
and not clinging to every little straw of pride, any little glimpse of
hope of saving yourself.
You cannot climb the mountain of My highest will with a load on
your back! Pride is too heavy to bear for anyone. It becomes a
burden to anyone else around, as well. Oh, the weight of pride.
The weight of sin that doth so easily beset you... What back-
breaking pride! Why, My children, why do you carry such a heavy
burden I have not ordained you to bear?
All of you must overcome pride if you really want to put Me first
in your lives. Seek to do the humble thing, constantly. If there is
an option between 2 things, choose the more humbling option! I
called you to take up your cross & follow Me, not to nail others to
crosses & crucify them with haughty looks and proud thoughts &
gestures...
Nothing is impossible, but I’m talking about the limitations you’re
imposing on yourselves by your pride, your inability to really let
go completely & let Me take over, and consequently, a lack of
faith through a lack of obedience, which comes with the yielding.
You are in dire need of a lot more humility and determination to
make it up that mountain of My highest will. Don’t feel bad about
it or condemned, just let it humble you and let it make you realize
how nothing you are.
Eat and drink in My Words as if your every breath of life
depended on them.
If you’re going to make it, then it’s not because of anything of
yourself!
‘Praise is the voice of faith’, and the opposite is also true:
cursing is the voice of unbelief, it’s the ultimate statement that I
am not in control, it’s the life-blood & breath of murmuring, the
epitome & manifestation of thanklessness & ingratitude!
IF you want to serve Me, then get ready for humble work and total
crucifixion of your self! As much as I love you, your beautiful,
divine self, My creation, My bride, the way I can already see you
in the Spirit: that other self, your old man, your fleshly old
creature, is an abomination to Me. And in order to completely &
fully become that new creature, you have to obey My Word & ‘be
transformed by the renewing of your minds, presenting your
bodies a living sacrifice, which is your reasonable service’! Don’t
be unreasonable & just strut out there onto the battlefield like
some novice, bragging, ‘Yeah, I’ve got what it takes, alright!’
As soon as the bullets start zinging around your ears and the
first casualty falls and you get wounded, you’ll be cowering in
fright, you will run for your lives, because you were not prepared!
Pretending to have faith when you don’t have it is dangerous!
Sit down & humbly start sucking My paps & get some faith by
drinking in the milk of My Word!
Pride is a little kid pretending to be a grown-up. They mimic
adults, when in reality, they don’t have a clue of what being an
adult is really all about: The worries, the responsibilities, the hard
work in caring for others.

Connect to Me in whatever situation I bring across your path.
Prepare for greater changes!
Look for My strength, & My opportunity for strength in weakness.
Seemingly impossible situations are ideal breeding ground for
Me to operate.
I’m forcing you to look up to Me in desperation.
I’m waiting on you to love you each day, as sure as you know
that’s the sun out there...
(Is.54:10) I want you to become more sure of Me than you are of
anything else.
Learn to see Me with the eyes of your spirit! I would like to give
you visions of Me! Try to visualize Me when you seek Me, so that
you will start learning to see things in the Spirit!
I have yet many things to show you & reveal to you. Prophecy is
like radio! Discover Spirit-TV! Fine-tune your senses for it.
Seek Me not only with your mind’s ear, but also with your
spiritual eyes & see what I will reveal to you. A picture is worth a
thousand words, & the gift of vision can be an even more
efficient & quicker way for Me to communicate certain things to
you. Watch out for the great & mighty things of the Spirit I wish
to show you! Come & see; taste & see. There is yet so much
more to be heard, felt experienced and seen. I’m more willing to
give than you are to receive.
Fine-tune & adjust your receiver! Tune up for the gift of vision!
Get ready for Spirit-TV! Stop seeing things merely with the eyes
of the flesh. If you look at people with the eyes of the spirit, you
will see their true nature. I can reveal things to you about people
that they won’t even know about themselves! I can show you
things of the Spirit that will encourage you & will give you new
strength to carry on.
You seek a beauty that is not of this world. There is no other
satisfaction for you than My heavenly light! Come, & open your
eyes to visions of heavenly light! Catch some rays of heavenly
sunshine, flooding your soul with glory divine!
Greater light than the sun's. Eternal radiance that doesn’t hurt
the eyes. My light is only pure & good! Seek Me for My pure &
true light!
Bathe in My light! Just a glimpse of My true, eternal, life-giving,
heavenly light will strengthen you & lift you up & encourage you
enough to keep going with renewed vigor & strength!
Consider My heavenly light that source of energy you need in
order for your spiritual flower to really come to full bloom &
blossom into its full beauty! So far, you have felt its warmth & it
has pulled you up above the ground from the depth of the cold,
dark Earth; you have soaked in My water & rain, but now you
must open up your petals fully & look fully into My wonderful
face!
There is a whole lot more to Me than you have known so far. You
truly ‘ain’t seen nuthin’ yet!’ Open your eyes, & I will show you! I
will reveal Myself unto you, & all your helpers around you & give
you many visions of things that thou knowest not. There is no
limit to what I can show you with the eyes of the Spirit.
As the days grow ever darker, & you find ever less satisfaction in
the finite beauties of the world, look for more, for greater things,
beyond those seen with mortal eyes.
You have tried to soothe your hunger for beauty by means of the
flesh. Often what you consider beautiful, is downright ugly & an
abomination to Me, while other times that which you consider
ugly is beautiful in My sight. Learn to see with My eyes, and fully
put on My mind.
When you hear from Me & you are attuned to Me, you can rest in
My mind, but often, when you’re involved in all your physical
activities, you slip out of it again, you elude Me, or My mind
eludes you, simply because it gets crowded out by your habitual
way of doing things in the way & strength of your carnal mind.
But there is yet a more pure & a more perfect way, My love, and I
would like to train you in it. Take My hand & I will lead you there,
to the place where you shall be able to see, see things the way I
see, perceive things the way I do, that place where you will be so
enwrapped with Me, you will never want Me to let you go again.
Then & there, we will be truly one. One in heart, in mind & in
spirit. Then My thoughts will be your thoughts, My Words will be
your words, & all you will have to give to those around you will
come from Me, & you will finally have learned to be like Me, a true
sample of My love, a doer of My Word, not a hearer only. A walker
of the path, not merely one that knows the way, but goes the way
& shows the way. Let Me take you there! Come, let us be one!
Come to that point where you’ll want Me as much as I want you!
143 ____________________________________________________
When you can’t look anywhere but up, lying flat on your
backs, I can get through to you the best & reveal My will to you.
By running away from a testing in one situation, you may only
find yourself having to start from scratch in another situation, or
having to repeat this lesson later. In other words, the progress is
slower than when one sticks to the situation they’re in. But I give
you choices & vents to ease your pains & trials.
If you seek Me first in your hearts & are willing to put your
personal emotions & desires on the back-burner, I will help you
to make the right decision
There IS no perfect situation on Earth.
The question is, are you strong enough to stick it out here until
you’ve got the victory? Are you willing to obtain a complete
victory over your trials by faith & through clinging to My power?
Or are you going to run off, hoping the pain will go away? The
greater blessing lies in gaining the victory over the enemy at
hand, to win this battle here & now.
I never condemn you for taking the easy way out. I love you way
too much to condemn you for your weaknesses. However, the
consequences of your choices must always be borne by
yourselves. This is a golden opportunity right now to win a
golden victory.
144 ____________________________________________________
Since the beginning & the days of old I’ve had to allow your
enemy to test My children, to see whether they would still trust
Me even when all goes wrong.
Can you rise above these circumstances? Look not at the waves
& the wind & the gray abyss beneath your feet, but look up to Me!
My hand is always right there. I have never & will never let you
fall!
Don’t live by fear, doubt, worry & anxiety, but by faith, hope &
love! My way up is down, to the death of self; self-confidence,
self-reliance, self-sufficiency. And up on the wings of a glorious
resurrection from the ashes of that death: a new creature that
doesn’t need to worry how it’s going to accomplish or cope with
this, that & the other, but who simply rises above by My power, in
God-given joy & carefree trust & faith.
Forsake those weights that hold you down! Time for a grand
forsake-all! Toss all your worries & excess weight over board!
I want you desperate & hopelessly dependent on Me, because I’m
your only hope of survival!
I’m teaching you to trust & rely on Me more.
Show Me that you know that you can’t make it without Me!
I always bless it when My children are willing to forsake the old in
order to embrace the new.
145 ____________________________________________________
I want to give you the ability to find peace in the midst of the
storm. I will prepare a table before you in the presence of your
enemies & you will lay down in peace, the troubles will not come
nigh you.
My participation in your life has been greater than you previously
thought, even during times you felt distant from Me. It is I that
long for greater closeness with you, & it's your own mental
conditioning that stands between us.
I’m just going according to your pace! I’m taking you step by
step. Just be ready for Me, & in due time I will open the right
door! If you continue to faithfully seek Me, nothing can go wrong.
I want you to be that bird singing his songs on the overhanging
branch above the raging cataract, the symbol of peace in the
midst of the storm.
The little bird doesn’t see what’s going to happen tomorrow, he
just keeps singing anyway, trusting that I’ve got it all under
control, that everything’s in My hands.
My kindness toward you shall not depart from you even when
the mountains shall depart & the hills be removed. My thoughts
of you & toward you are full of benevolence & mercy, not
belittling you, judging you or condemning you for your sins. I
died for your sins already, so, why should I condemn you for
them?
146 ____________________________________________________
Every morning My mercies toward you are new. I have
promised I would care for you, and I will. Don’t let the Enemy
trick you into thinking you’re not important enough or I’m too
distant or indifferent to care for you. I died for you, so, you are
important enough. If I even care about every sparrow that falls,
how much will I care for you, My precious ones! You are the
reason for this whole spectacle on Earth. You and all those I also
hope to retrieve from the mess the Devil is trying to make out of
it all.
History repeats itself. The large majority of people have always
ignored the warnings of My prophets & were caught by surprise
& with their pants down when the troubles came, and it won’t be
any different next time.
You owe it to them, to warn them anyway! Remind people that
there is a God who is just, Who will not allow these injustices to
carry on unpunished forever. What goes up must come down,
and the bigger they come, the harder they fall. It’s like the law of
gravity. And the graver the atrocities, the stronger the effects of
that law.
Continue to teach them, continue to share My Words, old & new...
Imagine how loudly your words of warning will ring in their ears
once they see it all happening.
Be My voice, My messengers, My heralds, My proclaimers, My
witnesses, servants, and I will be your strength and all you ever
needed.
Let My Spirit ignite you!
Only the road of obedience will give you the zest & the vigor
that’s needed.

going to serve You with the fear in their necks that this world is
going to pot soon. But give them a little more time & they’ll all fall
for me, You’ll see!’ And so, I had to grant him more time, I had to
grant him the ability to display even greater temptations than
ever before, make his matrix look more appealing, more
attractive than ever before with all its glittering & shiny toys &
distractions & enticements. I had to let him make Me & My
prophets look like fools to have been predicting an earlier doom,
and now... It’s true, many have fallen by the wayside & have given
in to the attraction & the lure. Many have been hypnotized by his
sirens & have fallen asleep with the fumes of his opiates.
But I will raise them up again, and you can be there to help them

look like the Devil is winning, but not for much longer. Those who
discern the signs of the times can tell that his days are numbered
& ‘the wicked shall be turned into hell & all the nations that forget
God.’ It will come to pass.
So, be not dismayed by the fact that you are few, and less than
ever, those of you who really mean business for Me. My prophets
have always been solitary voices against a mob of mockers &
scoffers who would have pulled them off the wall of conviction &
My highest calling. You’re in good company. And compare the
rewards. What is the reward of a life lived in selfish comfort?
What is it, compared to the glories I have prepared for you?
153 ____________________________________________________
You must spend time loving Me, otherwise you won’t be able
to function properly. I’m in the process of making you utterly
dependent on Me, because it’s what you need. If you don’t learn
it, how are they ever going to get the point?
Be a sample of a God-follower! You don’t have to know anything
except how to call on Me & receive My answers. If you do this
faithfully, they’ll see that it works, & they’ll follow your sample!
154 ____________________________________________________
Good times will come & go. I’m the only steady & constant
Source of security, inspiration . Only I can safely guide you along
this rugged, steep & dangerous mountain path. ‘Folks you meet
on your way up aren’t always kind’ & often they even serve as an
additional test, whether they’ll be able to persuade you to quit &
give up by the lack of being the support & encouragement they’re
supposed to be, or even by failing to show appreciation for your
encouragement & support you’re trying to give them.
Do you really do these things as unto Me, or in order to receive
their love, sympathy, attention & praise?
One thing that’s going to help you overlook others’ faults is
remembering your own & what a hopeless mess you are
yourself. Don’t expect everybody to recognize your motives as
pure & right when you can’t even be 100% sure of their purity
yourself, knowing that the heart of man is a deceitful thing, who
can know it?
I know how it feels not to be accepted by those you call your
own. Consider it part of being a partaker of My sufferings.
Sometimes a man’s accomplishments are not recognized until
his life is over & his fleshly presence is taken away. Not many of
My children have been granted the privilege to rest on their
laurels & reap all the credit for the gifts they shared with the
world during their lifetime. People are too narrow-minded to fully
appreciate revolutionary, radical new gifts that seem strange to
them.
The different kind always have a harder time. Why do you think
they all adapt & conform to each other, wearing the same style of
clothes & the same fashionable hair-cut? That’s the easiest way.
If you’re not different but show that you want to be like them, it’ll
be easier for them to accept you. They won’t have as many
suspicions about you but will quietly accept you as one of their
own.
Only in My Kingdom can people be free & bold enough to be
what they really are inside their innermost selves & reveal
themselves openly. It’s because all fears are history here. Fear of
the unknown, fear of the strange & different. In Heaven there are
so many different styles & people, beings & things that on Earth
would be considered ‘strange.’ Acceptance & tolerance of the
new is every new arrival’s crash course. But new arrivals to
Heaven are free from fear & thus, what would be fearful
suspicion & bewilderment on Earth is only joyful awe &
excitement up Here.
So, instead of going on the defensive, why not try to see the
heavenly potential in others? The points where they might dare
to be different if they could just shed their fears of not being
accepted or what others may think about them if they dared to
veer from the status quo? If you come across like, ‘Hey, I don’t
care if you’re different than me; I love & accept you the way you
are’, it’ll always be a help to begin with. But if their reluctance to
embrace & fully accept you is met by the same reluctance from
your side, we’ll just have to wait a while until time will melt the
ice & soften the hardness. There’s nothing that’ll make you more
tolerant of others like time, when you’re following Me.
I will even teach you to love your enemies & have pity &
compassion upon those who you think want to harm you. If you
truly seek to learn from Me & to become like Me, you will learn to
have mercy. Lighten up, & be merciful on others as I have been &
will continue to be with you.
The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak. To will & desire
My good work & pleasure you find in you, but to do it, you don’t
find so easily. If your sample would match your inward desires to
be loving like Me, you could be bearing so much more fruit.
Pray that I will enable you to act according to your belief. Faith
which worketh by love is the formula for success with people,
especially for winning them to My Kingdom. Keep on loving!
Keep on trusting! Keep on believing that I am there & will reward
your every effort you make, to be a sample of My love! Whatever
thou spendest, I will repay!
155 ____________________________________________________
Happiness is usually found elsewhere than you assume. Get
a glimpse of My bird’s eye view, & you’ll be able to tell which
roads will turn out to be dead end streets & which roads lead to
higher ground & progress. Usually the road of forsaking all is the
one that leads you higher, whereas if you refuse to let go of all
the excess weight of your personal desires, it drags you down to
where it keeps you stuck in a hole somewhere.
The first step to becoming My disciple is forsaking all. Matthew
19:29 still applies & works today! I can only give you a hundred-
fold of all you leave & forsake for Me if you actually do so.
Forsaking all is never done just once & for all; it’s a process that
goes on.
I never ask you to give up one thing without giving you
something better. And even NOTHING is better in some cases
than clinging to something that’s not My highest will for you
anymore, because ‘freedom’s just another word for nothing left
to lose’: I.o.w., freedom is sometimes equivalent to having
NOTHING! Nothing to tie you down, to keep you stuck or chained
to some stake or rut in the ground.
Dare to step out & let Me be sufficient for you. Let Me be all you
ever needed & I’ll prove it to you, that I am! What else do you
need besides Me? Right! Nothing!
All you need is Me. Everything will make perfect sense if you put
on My mind & let Me grab hold of you in final total possession!
You will no longer grope around blindly & will no longer be led
astray if you let Me be your Guide, Your eyes, your senses, your
Everything.
156 ____________________________________________________
The drawing power, the suction, the empty space you create
in you for Me to fill is the way to happiness & fulfillment. I can
answer every question if you’ll but ask, solve every problem you
put Me in charge of, fill any need & empty space you open for Me!
All nature is full of examples of this principle: Every creature
seeks her mate to unite with, so together they can bear fruit.
Everything is a sample of how My love, My heart seeks you &
yearns for union with you.
And in becoming one with Me, you will become one with all the
other partakers of My love. And the result will be one big, happy,
joyful, universal Family, My Kingdom of Love!

dares to try to bluff you because he knows you can’t see what he
sees. That torch you’re wielding is a searing hot weapon that
makes his demons squeal & run, and he knows the only chance
he has of getting you to stop is to bluff you into thinking it

Think about it, what power I have given into your hands, and the
difference between what will or won’t happen, depending on all
you will or won’t do! I haven’t given this power into everybody’s
hands, but I have chosen you! Yes, insignificant, unimportant
little you & you & you have I chosen, to put into your tiny little
hands the power to change the destiny of people & whole
nations. Please be careful & faithful with that power, & apply it to
the best you can! It’s a great privilege & also a great
responsibility. Don’t let the Devil belittle what you’ve got in your
own sight or make your own little problems look so much bigger
or more important to you! If you really get down to serious
business of changing the world for Me, you will forget about your
problems, you’ll see that they were just an illusion created by the
Enemy of your souls & the souls of those you are to save, to
distract you from your important task!
You could save someone from being completely lost in this cold
& lonely world, just like I saved you out of it. Didn’t it make all the
difference in the world to you that someone reached out to you &
shared My light, My Word, My Salvation with you? You can make
that same difference in the lives of others. Someone might be
waiting for you to reach out for them & save them, just like I used
someone else to find & save you! Can you do for others what I &
others have done for you?
I’m not asking you to ignore the problems, but to claim My power
to rise above them. You’ll see how insignificant they are
compared to the monumental significance of the task I have put
before you, the importance of the message I have asked you to
share with the World, & the urgency, the life & death matter of
getting out there & saving lost souls!
Have compassion for My sheep out there, you’re going to find
them, if you seek! Look at what I have given you and what more I
am able & willing to give you and despise it not.
Choose this day what difference you will make & what mark you
will leave in the world, how many you’re going to save, and how
you’re going to change the course of history & destiny! Take this
challenge seriously, & let it spur you to action for Me! Together
we can make it against the evil one & snatch many from his
clutches that he would destroy unless you & I intervene to save
them from their otherwise bleak destiny! Can you receive their
signal? S.O.S.! ‘Save our souls!’
168 ____________________________________________________
Often I had to watch you rush out the door in this way: ‘Now
is not a time to stop, look & listen; now is the time to forge ahead
in our own steam, for this thing that I’ve got to do is the most
important thing & we can always put the Lord first later!’
And then you wonder why you’re having tough times & battles &
why things aren’t running as smoothly... If you want things to run
smoothly, you’ve got to apply the oil of the Spirit! You’ve got to
take the time to put Me first in every situation & in any kind of
situation! You had better take Me along, if you don’t want
situations where every moment is agony & ‘Why me, Lord?!’ You
better spend extra time with Me on days when you’re
exceptionally busy & need extra strength & energy, & not crowd
Me out of your life & exclude Me!
And until you’re going to learn it, how can you expect anyone
who looks up to you, to learn it? You’ve got to set the sample &
the rhythm & the tune which the others are going to dance &
move to! If you play your jerky, ‘Let-me-do-it-in-the-flesh’ tunes,
that’s the kind of jerky moves you’ll get! But if you play your
relaxed & calm, ‘Hey, let’s trust the Lord for anything’ melodies,
everything jumps in rhythm, everything flows in tune...
You’d better tune right in on Me!
I’ve been around all those years, you just haven’t been able to
see Me this clearly, but the more you open your eyes, look to Me
& spend time with Me - the more you’ll seek Me, the more you’ll
find & see!
Soon, you’re going to see Me everywhere & in everything, for
that’s where I am, literally! Sometimes you’ve just been seeing
the Devil too much in everything & you figured, ‘No, the Lord
couldn’t possibly be in that place, it’s already occupied by the
Devil...’ Well, look beyond, & you’ll see that whatever place the
Devil may temporarily be usurping, he’s only waiting to get his
butt kicked out of there.
I’m putting on My boots, & you’ll be watching him run in no time.
So, look again! You may not have seen Me there before, but look
again! I am the deeper layer, the true foundation, that which the
Enemy has only been trying to cover up & hide with his fake false
front & illusion!
Many people believe in it, but you just poke your finger in it &
show it’s just a fake – a slimy film & layer that’s been placed over
the real truth, and you can just rip it off & wipe it away with one
wave of your hand & the magic wand I’ve given you – the Word &
the power of the keys!
Let them see what you see. Pray, like Elisha prayed for Me to
open his servant’s eyes, so pray for them, that they may also see.
But in order to make others see, you’ve got to also make sure
you stay permanently focused on Me & don’t let anything divert
or distract you! Keep your eyes on Me, the author & finisher of
your faith, & keep tuned right in on Me!
169 ____________________________________________________
Remember Isaac! Only once Abraham was willing to sacrifice
& yield that which he loved most dearly, was I able to bless him
mightily to become the ‘father of faith.’ I cannot tell whether you
truly love Me first until you’ve really lain your Isaac on the altar.
Letting go of the person you love most in all the world is a
painful process, but one day you’ll see the perfect sense in this.
I’ve got to have you open, ready & willing for anything. So, seek
& ye shall find, knock & it will be opened unto you, ask & you will
receive. Pressed down, shaken together & a good measure will I
mete into your bosom for trusting Me fully & putting Me first in
your lives!
170 ____________________________________________________
You have to continue to make the right choices everyday.
Every day I’m presenting you with a new challenge to follow Me,
everyday I’m calling you to leave your boats & fishes & the affairs
of this life.
171 ____________________________________________________
I love you with all your mistakes, just the way you are, so, if
you wanna be like Me, you can love yourselves, too!
Quit listening to the Devil & believing all the lies he tells you
about yourself or others.
This is a war you should be able to enjoy because you’re so far
superior to your enemy! He’s bluffing & lying & trying to trick you
with his magic of making everything he’s got look sooo big.
But all you’ve gotta do is snip your fingers & the facade
collapses & you see the wondrous glorious reality of how things
really are, namely that I am truly in control, not he.
When I return, it will be like somebody snipped their finger & the
spell of the hypnotist is broken. His illusion is NOT reality. Even
though there are a lot of hypnotized people out there who are
convinced that what they are seeing right now is real, your magic
is much stronger than the evil magician’s, & you can free people
from Satan’s spell & wake them up out of their trance! Refuse to
let fear – his greatest trick – have any grip or power over you
whatsoever! Come & get soaked in My perfect love every hour of
every day! Let us never be apart! Let’s stay connected! He may
growl & try his scare tactics on you, or try to weave one of his
hypnotic spells of doom & dismay, but you can zap him with the
power of truth.
I have given you power over Satan, and I want you to apply it! ‘In
the name of the keys of the kingdom we’re gonna bring Satan to
his knees!’ He’s going to cower before you & whine & beg you to
stop.
I’m right behind you, & there’s nothing the punk can ever do to
harm you. He only will keep trying if he senses that there’s doubt
in your heart. He only has power over you through any seeds he
has sown in your heart that you’ve allowed to grow there. But if
your garden is clean and strong, filled with My life-giving Word, &
you’re in tune with Me, he can do nothing!
He only attacks when you’re weak. That’s why it’s so important
that you stay faithful & really make Me your A No.1 responsibility
& focal point in life, every day!
172 ____________________________________________________
Are you willing to extend the same amount of patience, love
& forgiveness to others that has been shown you? If I have
forgiven you your great debt, why shouldn’t you forgive them
theirs?
Maybe I’m just allowing them to be so weak to test you & see
how you will handle it, how much patience you will have for
them, how much love; how much you will pray for them to make
it!
It simply takes time for faith to grow. What’s important is that you
each make the connection with My Holy Spirit & let Her empower
you to do what you can’t, let Her take you over. The Comforter
comforts you over the fact that you can’t do it & helps you do it!
Like a Mother will say to a frustrated child, ‘Come here, let Me
help you!’ Like a mother taking her child’s hand when he’s trying
to write or draw something beyond his ability, She guides your
hand & does it for you. You hold the pencil, but She guides your
hand.
All you’ve got to do is be yielded & willing vessels, and that’s
where the only problem lies: all your wiggling around & your own
ideas of things you think you’ve got to do in your own strength,
or things you feel you’ve just got to have right now. That’s why a
broken heart is such ideal breeding ground for My Spirit to start
working in you: You’re not as full of your own desires. You’re
grieving over some great loss, like the disciples were, over the
loss of My physical presence. They just waited for the fulfillment
of some promise I had given them, that only made sense to them
vaguely. They couldn’t even begin to imagine what the Holy Spirit
was, or the Comforter I had been telling them about.
So, they waited, just like you right now, in a state of uncertainty
of what’s going to happen next, but they were not disappointed,
& went on to greater works than they ever would have dreamed
of. So, keep waiting patiently on Me & for Her, it’s going to be
exciting!
173 ____________________________________________________
Your children ARE important – to Me, and they should definitely
be to you! You should do the best you can for them, and you
MUST be faithful in that which is not really the least: your little
ones.
Your little ones are of great concern to Me, and you can’t really
be a good missionary or disciple if you’re a lousy father or
mother. So go & learn what this meaneth: ‘I will have mercy, not
sacrifice!’ Whatever sacrifices you may be able to make for Me as
a missionary on some far flung field can't amount to much if you
have failed those very ones I have entrusted you with... It’s all a
test, My love, all a test, and transporting you across some ocean
won’t make a great missionary out of you if you can’t even love
those in your own back yard. I want you to show My love for
them.
I told you they were your mission field... have you watered your
little plants? Have you cared for your garden? Have you been
faithfully sowing My seeds into their hearts? Is your sample such
that your children would want to assume your life-style?
How does your sample come across? Do they really feel like
you’ve got something to offer them, better than what they’ve got?
Whatever your goals may be, love is still the most important
thing, and that’s what will speak louder then anything else you
may do or say. Love is all they need & want from you, and if they
won’t get it from you, where are they going to get it?
Consider it a golden opportunity, this handful of young souls at
your disposal right now, ready & receptive for your love; hungry
for your love! Could there be anything more important in this
whole world for you to do than trying your best to fill that need?
You’ve been wanting to give them My Word & doctrine. But the
essence of that is LOVE, and without love, it’s all dead works, &
love is the only language they’ll understand right now. Speak it!
You’ve got it, so, give it.
You’ve got something to give that the System hasn’t got ... love,
the greatest & most important thing of all, without which all these
other things are useless, meaningless & empty! Love is all you
need!
174 ____________________________________________________
How do you inspire someone to give more love? Simply by
being a faithful example of giving all the love you can, yourself!
How do you pull somebody out of their hole of pride, of twisting
any little innocent phrase uttered to mean a personal attack
against them in their mind? How do you keep someone from
crawling back into their den, time & time again? How do you
inspire them to praise Me? Well, the same thing applies! You’ve
got to be such a sample of outgoing communication, of humbly
opening yourself up & communicating, instead of withdrawing &
closing up, that it becomes contagious. Make praising Me a
contagious habit! Don’t be dragged down by their negativity &
lack of praise, but pull them up to a higher level by praising Me
all the more cheerfully.
You’ve got to learn not to let them drag you down to their level,
you’ve got to learn to pull them up! Your ‘UP-power’ needs to be
stronger than their ‘down-power’! You must learn to become a
thermostat, regulating the ‘temperature’ of the atmosphere
around you, instead of merely being a thermometer, measuring &
reflecting the temperature given off by those surrounding you.

199 ____________________________________________________
As long as you’re pleased with yourself, it’s pretty hard for Me
to get you to desperately want change. It keeps you from staying
desperate & humble. It also keeps you from getting really, really
serious about your life.
If you don’t want to keep making the same mistakes over & over
& over again, some things are going to have to change. Some
things you’re simply going to have to get more serious about &
more desperate.
The times you were the most desperate in your life are not the
times you like to remember the most, much less would you like
to re-live them, but they were the times that brought about the
biggest changes in your life. They were the times that spurred
you into action: into memorization of My Word, desperate prayer,
greater efforts to witness.
Feeling too comfortable & too good about yourself distracts you
from getting really desperate and looking for those areas in your
life you need to change in.
I HATE that complacent spirit... the spirit of amusement while the
world is going to hell. What will you have done with your life?
Are you just carelessly going to continue enjoying what you’ve
got or are you going to get concerned about those who haven’t
got?
Look at the immensity of the purpose of your life! You truly have
a challenging task.
Don’t let the misery of the World just pass you by untouched, but
implore Me to change things!
200 ____________________________________________________
‘In everything give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ
Jesus concerning you’ (1.Thes.5:18). It is the Father’s will that
you thank Me and keep a thankful attitude in everything & every
situation, and not start complaining & murmuring about it! Give
thanks in every situation you find yourself in & you’ll see it’s up
to you & your attitude what will become of it.
Even the worst situations can turn into good and lead to a better
one, if you’ve simply got the right attitude, one of trust & of
thankfulness for whatever I bring. I may be testing you to see
how you’re going to handle it, how much love you’ll come up
with or whether you’ll let your pride take over & spoil it.
‘I will have mercy, not sacrifice:’ ‘Before you can go out and
‘sacrifice’ your pride to Me by being a faithful witness, you’ve
first got to have a LOVE for the people. Go and learn love, & then
it won’t even BE a sacrifice anymore! Without love, it’s nothing.
Without love you are nothing. Without your love for Me, your
obedience is nothing, and only love will give you the grace to
obey Me in the first place. Without love, there’s no use in
witnessing. I’m sending My prophets to the world to give
everybody a chance to repent, to turn around & change their
minds, their hearts & their ways, because I love them.
That’s what John 3:16 is all about. I love them, and the Father
loves them, that’s why I came. That’s why He sent Me and that’s
why I’m sending you, because I love them. That whoever will
receive you might be saved.
201 ____________________________________________________
If you would get desperate with Me everyday, you would find
so much greater strength & grace for all the things you do and
want to do.
It’s a matter of life and death. Many lives and many deaths. You
could be a bringer of life & saving them from death. Now is not
the time for jesting. It’s war time, an all out struggle between the
two opposing forces of the universe, and you’re right in the thick
of it.
‘Those who stand strong on the rock of My Word & truth will be
raised above the storms, & those who stand on earthly soil will
be washed away.’ The Devil tries to get you so occupied with
earthly affairs that you won’t even have time to start taking the
affairs of My Spirit World serious enough.
That’s your struggle: flesh or spirit. Every day, every hour &
every minute you have to make the choice & decide. And it takes
faith to choose the Spirit, the invisible... Especially when that
which I, the Lord of the Spirit ask of you is hard for you to do,
and that which the Lord of this world uses to distract you is so
attractive.
If you reach out to Me, I will reach out to you! If you put Me first
place, I will take care of you. But you will have to renounce all
these distractions. Prove your belief by the amount of time you
spend with Me. You can’t just go on in ‘flesh mode’. You will have
to switch to ‘Spirit mode’ if you want to get anywhere &
accomplish anything, and if you want to survive.
You’re walking towards a pitch-black, gloomy night, and only I
am out here in front of you. I can see through the dark, but you
can’t. You’re blind without Me. So, don’t be unfaithful & neglect
your time with Me. You need it, and I need it, too, for I need you. I
really, and honestly need you! I can’t do the job without you! I’m
dependent on you to get the job done.
202 ____________________________________________________
’The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak:’ The spirit stands
for your willingness, and even comes from My Spirit, which
works in you, both, to will & to do that which is My good
pleasure. I have begun the good work in you, and I am the One to
complete it. But the flesh is what hinders you. It stands for
weakness. That which is considered strength in the world is
actually a flaw, a handicap if you want to do the works of the
Spirit.
Success in the flesh profiteth nothing. If I don’t anoint your
works to be accepted by the world, then it is My will for you to
utterly dedicate all you’ve got to the Spirit, and there you will find
strength that they who trust in the flesh know not of.
Naturally you want to show the world that you’re not a failure.
But think of Me on the cross. I didn’t look like a success to
anybody hanging there. And if you really want to be My disciple
and follower, so it will be with you.
Success in this world is almost equivalent with failure in My
eyes. It’s the same old scheme: are you willing to apparently be
a loser in the world’s eyes and a winner in Mine, or do you want
to be a winner in the world’s eyes and a loser in Mine?
This constant struggle of the flesh to crowd out of your life the
things which are important to Me, by the things which you
consider more important at the moment, is so contrary to Me, My
will in your life, and thus your spiritual progress.
It’s the flesh that weakens you, disables you to do the works of
My Spirit. The flesh is weakness, the Spirit is strength. It’s the
exact opposite of the way the world looks at it, and,
subconsciously, you’re still rather prone to look at it that way
yourself. The spirit is associated with people who are physically
weak, or with ghosts, dead men without any physical strength at
all. In other words, irrelevant to success & achievement & all that
really matters in this world.
It’s the eternal struggle, and it’s becoming more & more intense,
as the world of the flesh fights its last furious battle & lashes out
innumerable temptations at My brides to lure them away from Me.
The god of this world appeals to all that your flesh desires, all
you could ever dream of having in this life, in order to get you
away from Me and the Spirit.
He fights for your time, your energy, your attention. And every
minute he achieves to lure you away from Me to fulfill the
gratification of the flesh, is a point for him, which weakens you a
little more, delays your progress a little more. He knows he

sacrifice for Me, you’re going to be fine. God’s way up is down. I wish for you to proceed in faith and confidence, not fear. I
wish for you to walk in love, not in fearful trembling of what the
future might hold.
If you want to fear anyone, fear Me! It’s the only wholesome fear
there is. It’s a warm fear, because you know it’s going to lead you
to do the right thing, and it’s the beginning of wisdom, the first
step that leads you into the right direction.
It’s not really ‘fear,’ but more like ‘respect’. You respect Me, you
acknowledge Me, you check with Me, and you’re scared to make
a move without Me, because you know you might land on your
face otherwise.
It’s time to put on the new man I’m making out of you, a fully
grown, mature adult in body & spirit, wielding My anointing &
authority, the full stature of the man of God I’m anointing you to
be.
It’s serious business! You’re fighting against powerful enemies! It
requires sobriety and shunning any kind of foolishness &
shallowness. Be free to be the real you, and that’s a serious
fighter! Foolishness is one of those elements of self.
You know that I have a good sense of humor, but basically, I’m a
serious man, acquainted with a lot of grief, and we’re at serious
business here, fighting a serious war for a serious cause with a
lot at stake. Those fates of countless human lives you are
wrestling for are nothing to be taken lightly.
Don’t take this anointing lightly. Wear it with silent pride in Me,
constantly keeping that secret connection up with Me. Let Me be
your secret. I’ll be your secret weapon, your secret power, the
secret to all you would call success. The voice behind the
curtain. The power beneath the surface.
I want you to inspire in people a hunger for the greatest mystery
of the universe, arouse a curiosity in their minds and hearts
about what it is that makes you tick, that faith that there is
something so much greater & more real than this world.
Let Me live, move, walk, talk, think in you, love them through you,
talk to their hearts through you, touch them through you. Let
them see Me through and in you... the secret power & source
behind everything you do, every miracle you will work, every
word of wisdom you will speak, every song you will sing.
Let Me fully possess you, and there will BE no limits to what you
can do.
209 ____________________________________________________
One of the advantages of the Enemy over you is your carnal
tendency to expect things to happen in the usual way, not any
differently from the way you’ve seen or experienced things to
happen before.
Count on the unexpected, learn to be prepared for even the least
likely in a group of possible events to happen, even an entirely
new one that no one would have even dared to imagine...
You don’t have a clue how things are going to pan out.
My Word and promises about the future are unshakable and
unconditional. I’m always with you, will never leave nor forsake
you, etc.
Others of My promises ARE conditonal, and their fulfillment
depends on your individual choices. Praise Me whenever one of
you has made the right choices toward victory and deliverance,
for a lot of work in the spirit was necessary in order to bring that
victory about.
If you’re open, you can learn through anything & everything I’m
allowing to happen & bringing across your path. Openness to My
Spirit, My truth & My revolutionary new wind, is one of your
greatest assets. You’re taking time to absorb My Words & My
lessons daily, My revelations, and there isn’t in this world
anything better you could do!
I AM your driving force. I AM your motor! I AM what keeps you
going and got you going in the first place. I AM the beginning and
the end, He Who worketh both, to will and to do that which is the
perfect will of God in your life. I AM the Engineer of every lesson
you’re learning, and thus even the Allower of every mistake
you’ve ever made and will yet make.
These Words only apply to those who are choosing My Words to
be the source of the very strength and essence of their life. If
life, and everything ever created came about through My Word,
why should it be surprising that that very same Word should also
be the essence of your strength, energy & power in your
personal life?
That’s why there’s nothing you can do, no situation you can ever
fall into, in which Romans 8:28 won’t apply. Be it good or bad,
whatever happens to you who love My Words, it will always be
for good & for the better, never for worse!
For those who love God, things will ALWAYS turn out to make
perfect sense one day, and you manifest your love for God by
receiving the Seeds of Love, the Word of God, into your hearts.
They’re more important than food, more important than money,
more important than anything you can do. Keep in mind that
these Words weren’t just destined for your ears only, but that
you’re supposed to give’em to the world. I will cause you to burst
forth in My perfect time, like a newly born spring bursting forth
into a mighty river.
Be prepared to teach nations... Prepare for the time of the End
when you will teach many.
You will be the beacons of My light to the world in the greatest
darkness this World has ever known.
You’re going to become My most skilled warriors of all times!
Stand back and see Me fight! – Through YOU!
210 ____________________________________________________
I’m not rushing you. I’m taking you at your pace. I knew all
along what you were willing to do and give and what you were
capable of, and how much time you would need to put it into
practice.
You’re doing fine in coming to Me for all these things. Few people
on this Earth come to Me for counsel when they’re having a
problem. Lots of people pray, but few wait for the answer.
As soon as you come to Me, I will give the answers that will make
the mountains just melt away.
So, if there’s a thing you’re having trials or doubts about or
battles with, just say so. You can come to Me and then you can
go forth in My Spirit & clear out the problems.
211 ____________________________________________________
Ask of Me and I will give you the heathen for your inheritance.
You can already assume that authority in the spirit.
You definitely don’t have to be afraid of them. Remember that I
am much greater than he that runs the world. And you’re more
than conquerors by being willing to appear like the losers.
212 ____________________________________________________
Through sin, Satan is able to attack you with condemnation.
But only until you get a hold of Me & pump down enough of My
heavenly water to wash all that filth away.
You should not to neglect to pray against evil worldly influences
dragging in the Enemy’s vibes, trying to belittle you, to put you
down.
213 ____________________________________________________
The Serpent will spew out a great flood of lies after the Bride,
and the Earth will swallow it (Rev.12:15), so be prepared. Be
prepared for the greatest collision and confrontation between My
Bride and the World which has ever been, resulting in the
greatest tribulation there has ever been. For I will wreak trouble
on those who seek to trouble you. I’ll give them greater issues to
worry about, trust Me. The plagues of Pharaoh are a good
picture of this. He oppressed My people, and I sent him plagues,
and although the AC will never let up on you voluntarily, nor will
he be persuaded, I will give him enough distractions on all fronts
to keep him busy with other matters than persecuting you, My
beloved, and in the end he will face his final Nemesis descending
from the sky, namely Me, and he shall taste the white-hot sword
of My mouth & take a thousand year ride he won’t forget, playing
yo-yo in the bottomless pit.
Yes, ridicule him, he can’t stand that! Don’t underestimate him,
but don’t respect him too much, either, for he doesn’t really
deserve any respect. He’s a foul traitor, and a pitiful case, the
true epitome of a loser, although right now he’s really acting up &
is pretending to be the winner. He’s all fake & phony, the only
thing that’s real about him is his spiritual stench, and that’s all
there will be left of him, someday, a bad-flavored memory of a
chapter in the history of the universe which everyone will have
learned one good thing out of: Never to want any of it again.
That’s My purpose, so we can all finally enjoy creation together,
each one with thankful hearts. Although there still will be
challenges, don’t worry. New planets & territories to conquer and
enlighten with the knowledge of truth. To teach is and will be
your ultimate destiny... to teach others to teach others to teach...
After all, free choice will still be a fundamental law of the
universe, but you can teach from your personal experiences why
you personally recommend to choose good: because you’ve
seen evil.
Of course, some won’t be happy with a historical record of evil
and will want to experience it for themselves. We might send
them back into the past, to get a good first-hand experience of
what evil’s all about, and that should cure them.
You are My future rulers & teachers, and to be heavenly minded,
to some extent, means, to be future-minded.
Once you come Here, you will know the victory has been won,
although some of the actual fighting is still to take place. It’s hard
to comprehend while you're still on the temporal plain, but it’s
still the truth. It’s like those people asking, ”Who made God?” It’s
hard for a temporal being to grasp the concept of eternal beings.
Although I was created, for I am the beginning of the creation of
God, the Father is and was and will always be eternal. There is no
beginning nor end to Him.
There will be an end to the kingdom of Satan, his world, to be
replaced by My Kingdom, with the barrier between the
dimensions gone. I will bring about that End, just like I brought
about the beginning of this World, that’s why I said, I am ‘Alpha
and Omega’, and for you, who have grasped that point, there will
be no end.
214 ____________________________________________________
You would like to drop everything & follow Me, but I could use
you more in a different capacity. The Devil is attacking you, trying
to make you feel inferior. But I want you to assume the authority
& power in the spirit & accomplish & do that which you’re
ordained to by Me!
It’s time you fulfill your ultimate calling! You’ve got to believe!
Keep your vision, your eyes & your focus beamed on the royal
mantle of anointing I’ve given you: that shining crown, that
golden glory, that high calling of God, & let no man belittle you!
Keep your vision of the grander things I’ve ordained you to do!
Tear loose from the little, insignificant distractions & mundane
affairs of life! Trust Me for more. Enlarge your vision! Raise your
goal, your standard & vision. Aim high! The future’s yours to
claim! It’s yours! Grab it now!
This is the day of your anointing. You’ve got to believe, act...
prepare for it! Get ready for it, I’m going to do it! Get ready for
God!
215 ____________________________________________________
Wanting to be everybody’s friend stems from wanting to avoid
confrontation, and can be a form of laziness, when you allow
others to compromise. Often you don’t really pray about whether
what someone wants is good for them or My will for them. On
occasions, you have compromised & ‘just let them do whatever
they feel like’ as long as it’s within the realm of the tolerable.
Being a good shepherd requires more than that.
You’re so afraid of becoming the kind of shepherd that used to
bug you when you were younger, that you’re not much of a
shepherd at all. Just lying there idly in the meadow, while the
lambs are playing dangerously close to the woods or are even
hobnobbing with the wolves or other suspect animals isn’t really
doing the kind of job I would expect from one of My shepherds. I
can’t rely on that. I can’t trust you with them when you’re that
lenient & just let them do whatever they please, hardly ever
tell’em off, just because you don’t wanna rock the boat.
It takes greater love, greater commitment, greater yieldedness,
greater readiness to be and do and go wherever, whatever I
demand at any time. Greater obedience to the Holy Spirit.
Learn to speak up & not harbor things inside.
216 ____________________________________________________
You just can’t have the faith that I can fully bless you if you
know you’re not obeying Me fully. I want to gently lead you along
the path of perfect & complete obedience.
Pray without ceasing, and come, lie here with Me on that
promised meadow of meditation and reflection, committing all
your cares to Me.
Commit your family to Me, your needs & finances, your enemies!
I can take better care of them all than you ever could, just give
Me a chance! Believe and drink in! Don’t let the perverted &
twisted thoughts & doubts of the Enemy interfere & cause static
& pollute your mind! Block him out! Leave him out in the cold!
He’s got no part in you, you are Mine, and there’s nothing he
could ever do to change that. There’s nothing you could ever do
to change that. I love you unconditionally. All he can do is bluff &
lie & try to scare you. But if you look into My face & hold My
hand, you won’t be scared. How can you be scared if you’re lying
in My bosom? Nothing and no one can do you any harm.
Use greater wisdom & greater love – even for your enemies – in
your communications with them. Live peaceably with all men, as
much as it lies in you.
It’s better not to write anything, than words which stir up strife.
Witty words won’t get you out of trouble, only My power &
wisdom will.
There are many who need your prayers. Come, and implore Me
for them. I need you to pray for them.
217 ____________________________________________________
You say, ‘Lord, I don’t want to keep You only for myself, but it
costs so much to share You with others...’
The worst thing in the world you can do when you don’t know
what to do is to keep going... It’s a time of great transition &
upheaval, & there will be even greater upheaval in the future, so,
it behooves you to pray as if everything depended on prayer,
which it does, and to hear from Me & seek My face as if
everything depended on getting a hold of My instructions &
revelations, which it does.
‘Not a step without Me!’ is the standing order of the day. You
can’t afford it to make one. It’s essential that you go through this
crash course in AME.
218 ____________________________________________________
There is a reason why things are tough & tight. In emergency
situations I draw people together. For when things are rough &
not as usual, nobody can just ‘bear their own burden’ anymore,
but people have to flock together, join their resources & pitch in
together.
219 ____________________________________________________
It’s human nature not to respect someone on a ‘lower’ level
or stage of development as much as you would one of your own
rank & level of experience, or higher. You have to learn respect,
even for the little ones & whatever they might have to say. Show
respect toward them in the way you answer them, once they’ve
told you what’s on their hearts.
220 ____________________________________________________
People with inferiority complexes often subconsciously over-
compensate their feelings of inferiority by putting on a hard &
arrogant, proud outer front to shield & protect them.
It’s a vicious cycle & a deadly trap of the Enemy: first he makes
you feel really bad about yourself, & so little in your own eyes,
makes you hear all their sneers & criticisms of you – sometimes
real & sometimes imagined – then he amplifies them in your mind
to where you feel you could hide under the carpet or plain
‘disappear’... and there, down there in your little hole & shelter,
sometimes over years, you develop new confidence, but you
harbor that resentment toward those people who used to ridicule
you. You have found out by now that you’re not as pitiful as they
are, you know now they’re deceived, but you can’t really come up
with sufficient love for them to humble yourself & submit
yourself into their hands, like I did, becoming their servant, or
like Neo did in ‘Revolutions’...
You’ve got to find your own personal ‘Mr. Smith’, who is belittling
& ridiculing you constantly in your own mind, renders you
ineffective in some ways. The demon who keeps asking you,
‘Why do you still keep fighting when you should know by now
that it’s useless?’ You’ve got to pinpoint him, nail him down,
knowing that I in you am far superior to him, and that I am going
to give you the victory, & then look him in the eye, & say
defiantly, ‘Because I chose to! Because this is what I’m born to
do: I am destined to fight & lick you bastard, I’m destined to WIN!
So, get out of my way, you little satanic nincompoop, in the name
of the power of the keys!’
I will pray for you, My love, that your faith fail not, and that you
will expose & challenge your own personal enemy, and know that
I’m always not only right beside you, helping you to fight, but I
will be in you, fighting him through you. Full possession is your
destiny, for you were meant to be all Mine & Mine alone, and
when the time is ready, you will win your final victory
221 ____________________________________________________
You have many enemies. And you’ve got to fight them one by
one. They know they can’t stop you, so they seek to delay you by
bluffing you, intimidating you or attacking you with fiery darts of
doubts.
You are the light, and they hate you! They seek to obstruct you,
for they know they can’t put you out. So, they try to weaken you
from within, trying to stop the flow of the fuel, so your light will
grow dimmer, for less people to see than if you would really get
on fire for Me and burn!
The Enemy is trying to get each one of you so absorbed with
their own personal little matters & affairs that you won’t manage
to concentrate on the common foe, the common goal, much less
to really unite and attack him.
The Selvegion are trying to make sure you will fight for your little
comforts & commodities & rights.
They’re only the infantry. Next come the archers, then the spear
fighters & finally the horsemen. Or in terms of modern warfare:
next are the tanks, then the planes & finally the missiles.
What the Punk isn’t realizing, is that with each battle, beloved,
you’re growing stronger. And with every new upgrade & weapon
he tries on you, you grow stronger & develop ever greater
resistance against him. They will finally realize that they won’t
have a chance against you from the spiritual realm anymore, and
will see their last resort in attacking you in the physical during
the tribulation, and that’s right where I want them. He thinks
you’re the mice & he’s the cat, when all along, you’re only the
bait to trap him into the physical world, where we will be able to
finally annihilate his whole system.
He’s going to find out that in chasing you, he’s bitten off more
than he can chew.
222 ____________________________________________________
I’m going to use you in your different capacities to win the
war, each with different modi operandi, different views, attitudes,
motives & tactics. According to personal choices & even
mistakes, circumstances can change. What counts is that the
war is being won, not who gets the greatest credit or glory.
There are certain things you dislike & that rub you the wrong
way.... But what’s important is that there is sufficient unity,
loyalty, mutual respect and love for the cause that you win the
war and make it happen.
223 ____________________________________________________
How easily everything a man has is lost by pride. It's a gamble.
'Who's gonna give in first?'
Some never found out. Only to discover in tears much later that
the issue that had caused them to separate was so ridiculous, so
shamefully ludicrous and downright idiotic... But thus is the
wisdom of Satan.
His art & witchcraft consists in making mountains out of
molehills, big monsters out of tiny little bagatelles. Small, tiny
seeds of dissension which grow into ugly big giants & demons of
discord, hatred, disunity and jealousy, and what have you...
whatever divides, whatever drives a wedge between My people,
My chosen ones, he knows that that's all he needs in order to
render a potentially powerful threat to his kingdom useless, or so
weakened by comparison, that he won't have to worry much
anymore.
One day you will see just how ridiculous the issue was, over
which you risked a life of unity, a potentially powerful team and
weapon in My hand against the Enemy...
All it does is, prove that you didn't really care about winning
others into My Kingdom in the first place, much less to seek My
Kingdom first. All you really cared about was yourself, your
personal satisfaction, and that nobody got any more of anything
than you did...
You didn't really have what it takes, that's why you settled for
less than God's best, or even 2nd or 3rd or 4th best...
What a shame. You always knew it somehow. After all, your old
friend, the Devil, has been telling you all along that you didn't
have what it takes, and most of the time you believed him. Those
bright & glorious promises... yeah, it would have been nice had
they applied to you, too, but they were written for someone else.
And Me, well, I'm just going to have to look for someone else.
Someone who might not despise that crown... someone who
doesn't mind a little sacrifice. Sure, years of training, of pouring
into you My Words, My care... down the drain. Not the first time...
I've seen it many times. Just another one who thought I
demanded a bit too much... another one who didn't really care
about this sacrifice of Mine on the cross. After all, you didn't ask
Me to die for you, did you? And if I did anyway, well, that's My
own fault, you figure. My own fault, too, that I was as dumb as to
choose you, right? For a task that I should have known full well
that you didn't have the guts & whatever else it takes for it...
Well, which is it going to be for you? You tell Me! I know full well
that I'm putting you through dire straits right now, that I don't
seem to be blessing this union between you an awful lot. You
think you might get things rigged up a little bit better by
yourself....
Maybe it's worth a try, you figure... Set out all on your own, not
having to let all those other idiots bug you. Yes, ‘on your own’ is
the key phrase, by yourself, and for yourself, and all around
yourself... Another few hundred miles down independent road...
All alone through the galaxies... well, I knew somebody like that,
who was finally ruined by his own bad company...
What's it gonna be? You tell Me!
224 ____________________________________________________
You will have to make a decision similar to the one My disciples
had to make when I asked them to forsake their miraculous
catch, for a great testimony. The disciples had just witnessed the
miracle, thus they were willing to follow the Miracle Man, not just
cling to the mere manifestation of the miracle. In time, you will
also witness My undeniable miracles, which will persuade you
beyond a shadow of doubt, and there will be no more hesitation.
Some things simply take time, even though the matter is always
urgent. I’m preparing you for your exodus, but preparation takes
time.
The essence of the mission’s success lies in openness to My
moves, regardless whether it’s the way anyone expected or
experienced it before or not. ‘Forget all you know’ is the slogan
for the day. ‘A little child shall lead them’, and blessed is the man
who will be open and alert enough to see My hand in that leading.
Stay alert in the Spirit, and open to unexpected moves &
changes, never underestimating the little things.

I’m working on the motivation of your hearts. I want you to
learn to love & teach your kids, to witness to your fellowman and
to keep your house neat out of love for Me, because you know it
pleases Me, and out of love for others. I want you to open up. I’m
teaching you about the importance of communicating,
understanding & sympathizing with others; I’m teaching you the
importance of acquiring spiritual wealth above material wealth &
making a living.
Out there, that’s all they exist for: ‘making a living’. Is that all
people ever consider living for & investing all their resources in,
their time, their energies, their lives? ‘What shall we eat? What
shall we drink? Wherewithal shall we be clothed?’ ‘Where shall
we live?’ and ‘Who will fulfill my sexual needs?’ These are pretty
much all the questions that they are concerned about. Once
those are covered, it goes on to, ‘How shall we spend the time
that is not spent on any of those previous questions?’ ‘How can
we entertain ourselves?’
232 ____________________________________________________
One of the first steps to getting something done for Me is to
pray for them to happen. It’s like you’re charging My angels to go
before you & clear the way of any obstacles. You want to get
something done for Me? Then start off by praying them through!
Your own physical energy will never be enough. The power of
prayer is the secret.
If you would take the time, I could show you things about each
person you meet, and you should. You must pray more about
things...
This habit of making decisions without counsel & united prayer,
that’s one major NWO: eliminate that bad habit & replace it by the
way it’s supposed to be.
You’ve just got to make it a rule: No more decisions without
counseling & praying together about it, period!
There’s more at stake here than just a few hurt feelings!
233 ____________________________________________________
It is good that you are alert, but you can also trust Me that the
situation is in My hands. Commit the whole thing into My hands
& trust Me. You can determine your course of action.
You have to go according to your faith on major decisions...
All this is going to make you stronger, bolder, braver, more
valiant & courageous. It will help you to rise above & make out of
you that which you were not, but what you have always felt
destined to become. I am with you. I’m re-making you. It’s a
painful process in part, but it will be worth it all.
234 ____________________________________________________
A bad disease, handicap or injury cancels & disables all other
plans & activities. Things just can’t keep going as usual, can’t
continue, because someone has had an accident or fell sick; the
kind of emergency situation where everything around just stops
& people have to focus on it, take time out & deal with it.
You’re all affected by it & disabled. What complicates the issue
is, when the patient denies the symptoms or tries to justify them
by mistakes made by others.
Although you will want to do everything in your power to drag
this comrade in arms along, there comes a point where it’s either
‘drop the body or die yourself!’ This is the horrid, cruel but very
real nature of warfare.
There comes a point where the person you’re trying to save
determines to give you their co-operation and start fighting for
themselves or they’re going to have to be left behind. You can’t
risk the whole mission, the whole troupe ALL the time over one
person who refuses to get the victory!
Because all the shouts & laments of ‘Oh-how-could-you-be-so-
cruel’ are soon going to go under in the noise of the real battle,
and then help you God if you find yourself paralyzed by
something you didn’t fight hard enough to shake while you still
had the chance to do so.
You’re going to be as one who has risked the safety & lives of
your comrades over your own well-being. They’re going to be
gone, because you refused to fight, and you’re going to be lonely
and sorry.
235 ____________________________________________________
A sick or handicapped person can reach out to help others &
do good at times, but you wouldn’t send a handicapped or sick
person to the battle front in a war. If you’re going to be My
frontline soldiers & Endtime warriors, you’re going to have to be
cured first, or at least be rid of that piece of shrapnel, that bullet
or tip of an arrow that’s still stuck in your wound.
Then you’ll have to stop the bleeding, pray for a quick healing,
get some rest & re-filling, a clear vision, & then you can join in
the fray again.
You’ve got to get rid of some of your excess weight & baggage, &
some of your inappropriate habits & attitudes that don’t come in
handy when fighting a war.
I need reliable soldiers who will fulfill their duty, regardless of
whether they feel like it or not...
You should be able to rule your spirit & emotions!

Thank you for fulfilling My heart’s desire, and allowing Me to fill
you to the brim, and for asking Me to fill you to overflowing. I will
grant your request, and from henceforth you will overflow with
My love, My Spirit, My Words and My wisdom. Untold riches are
yours in the spirit.
Come, let us ascend unto the next level of greater challenges,
deeper riches and revelations, of closer ties to My Spirit; more
permanent interaction between Me and you, and much closer
union with your helpers and lovers in the spirit.
Come, and join us in a permanent love feast, where you will be so
thrilled and will find all your heart ever desired. Where Earthly
matters will be less relevant than ever, worries will be completely
done away with, as you will find Me taking care of every little
detail for you.
Thus is the path of those who have laid their personal desires at
My feet, only wanting to do that which is good for My Kingdom.
Yours shall be a first-class ticket to Heaven, as you hold on tight
to the magic wand of My keys.
Welcome, up Here, in the chamber of greater love, a new level of
greater dedication. Strip naked, and join us in a love orgy that
will thrill you. It will make you want to forget your present world,
and yet, My greater love & joys & ecstasies of the Spirit will also
give you greater strength to deal with the affairs of the physical,
as you will find greater joy in your tasks, more grace to give, a
greater love and understanding for those who you come in touch
with.
Touching you, for many, will mean touching Me, for you are all

of miracles, an episode of wonders to behold. One of man’s major dilemmas in this day and age is his own
knowledge, or that which he thinks he knows. Everybody is so
convinced of their own view and opinion that they’re not open for
the truth, everybody’s an evangelist for their own little private &
personal pet truth. This is actually one of the greatest obstacles
you’re up against. How can you show that your truth is truer than
theirs?
Well, in the end, only My power and anointing will tell the tale,
and ”If this work is of man, it will come to naught, but if it is of
God, no man shall stand against it.” And ”by their fruits ye shall
know them”... Healings, miracles, good fruits & manifestations of
My power.

their snakes. If you’re truly going to be My anointed, the world
will see it.
Moses’ walk out into the desert on his own was the only way to
get him to My holy mountain.
Keep My message, not your needs in the forefront of your mind.
You must learn to rise above even your physical needs and let
them dictate your life no longer! But seek ye first My Kingdom
and righteousness, and all these other things shall be added
unto you.
It’s going to be a lone hard road, and you’re going to look like the
loser, but I told you, you had to be willing to look like everything
you didn’t want to be. War is on. This is the real thing.
242 ____________________________________________________
If you feel like you’re not going to accomplish anything, it’s
going to cause you to get desperate to have Me accomplish
something through you! There are desperate times up ahead, and
the faster you learn to get desperate with Me, the better off you’re
going to be.
There’s a storm of opposition from the Enemy and even those,
of whom you don’t know exactly whether they’re friend or foe -
time will tell whether they will go for the option of love that will
lay down his life for their friends – but all those things will just
serve to strengthen you.
You’re in a higher league now, and you look like a skinny runt
compared to all the bullies, and you feel pretty lost... They’re
joking about you a little, and the training is very exhausting. It’s
another acid test. Things are always toughest at the beginning of
a new ministry, a new grade, and, well, that’s just the way it goes
& the way we all find out whether you’ve got what it takes.
The thing to do now is to gratefully and wholeheartedly take up
this new challenge, as opposed to getting discouraged & lying
down with an attitude of, ”How could I ever think I was going to
make it?”
So, be at peace, everything is alright, even though you feel like at
rock bottom. There’s no better place to start, because there’s no
other way to go but up.
243 ____________________________________________________
The Devil had you so confused & in such a mud hole, it’s
time to remind yourself and him of Who’s in charge here. Show
him by praising Me that you still know that I am in control in spite
of all his futile attempts to sow confusion and hoodlum!
Better to be betrayed than to be one of the traitors.
Lift up your heart to Me, don’t dwell down there in the muddle of
your own mind! Come up here, where the air is clean! Come up to
My holy mountain! Receive My precepts & write them on the
tablets of your heart.
The test every great leader throughout the ages had to pass,
from Moses and on down until the Family: The resistance of the
half-hearts. The criticism of those who would want to be the
leader themselves. The rebellion of the proud & unyielded. ”Who
made you a ruler over us?” It’s the very voice of Satan! He got to
the same point where he got fed up with My leadership & he was
thinking, ”Who made You the Boss over us anyway? I wanna be
my own boss!” And the majority of the people out there simply
prefer themselves as their own boss, or if they don’t have the
strength & courage to be their own boss, they’ll accept the Devil
or any one of his System stooges; at least he’ll give them what
they think I can’t: security and a fixed, safe position in this world,
and its material blessings. They figure the things I am asking
people to do are too crazy. They make no sense. It’s all too
uncertain for them! No, they’d rather play it safe, serve the Devil
& work hard for his meager wages than trust Me that if they obey
Me, I will supply all their needs. Your task is going to be to find
those who are fed up with being slaves of the Devil and want to
use their energies for a better purpose.
Am I enough for you? Do you think I can manage to make you
happy? Fulfill you and satisfy you through and through? Test Me
& see if I really am the Best!
I am a jealous God, I never made a secret out of it. It’s a known
fact throughout all the ranks of Heaven that I’m simply so much
better than anything else, that putting anything on a same level
of importance with Me, or even above Me, is nothing short of
sheer insult. And I’m looking for humans in your physical world
who believe that. Are you going to be one of them?
Do you really think that I’m the best Thing in your life, or are you
still waiting for something better to come along? If you’re still not
completely satisfied, you haven’t discovered all I’m capable of!
There’s more to Me, much more! Try Me!
244 ____________________________________________________
Throughout history, whatever army or military force had
acquired any kind of position of power, as soon as they stopped
conquering, growing, & invading more of the Enemy’s territory,
as soon as they felt safe enough to settle down and just enjoy
what they had, they started becoming corrupt.
You had been shaken up by the effects of compromise, areas,
which so far you hadn’t allowed Me to touch. So I tore down that
last layer of delusion which blocked your view from seeing the
plain naked truth. For some people, the whole ugly awful truth
about themselves is just too ugly, and more than they can bear.
It’s time to part with compromise. It’s time to find out where each
of you really stand.
If you’re a babe, then act like one & drink in the milk to get
stronger. If you’re a disciple, a fully grown, mature doer of the
Word, then show Me your faith by your works!
And if you’re serious about making the changes needed in order
to get to the standard I want you to have, but you feel that those
living in the same Home will hold you back from doing so, in their
momentary state, then you’re just going to have to be willing to
forsake them, even if it hurts a lot. Show Me that you are willing
and able to sacrifice! Show me that you are willing and able to
act on what I’m showing you to do, even if those dearest to you
don’t understand and think you’re making a mistake. Show Me
whose follower you are!
245 ____________________________________________________
Obey Me step by step, and as you obey one step you will be
shown the next. This crisis is not for nothing. It’s not an empty or
unnecessary drill! Things are not going to continue as they are,
and I want you to survive, so, you’re going to need a tougher
state of mind in order to make it! There’s even a reason for all
this lukewarm reasoning you’re being confronted with, for
nothing makes you as sick of lukewarmness, as being handed or
fed a good mouthful of it yourself by someone else, and I sure
hope it’s gonna make you hate it!
It’s a problem when people read the Word but only pick out
whatever they like or appeals to them & sort of ignore the heavy-
duty stuff, or say that won’t apply to them.
There comes a time in every life, when they see where they erred
& failed to see the truth.
In the end, there are going to be 2 in the field, one with My true
anointing, one without...
When I return, there will be shiners & shamers. Keep in mind
what you’ll want to be on that day, & keep working toward that
goal: becoming a shiner for Me. It’s nothing you can work up in
the flesh, but it can be achieved by faithfulness to Me.
Keep striving for humility! Humility that will enable you to
approach anyone at any time with My message without any fear,
born of pride, about what they might think of you. I wish you
would fall so much in love with Me that you would only care what
I think of you!
I don’t want you to stay empty, I want to fill you up with Me! I
want to satisfy you! Focusing on the positive means, not staring
at the problem, at the hole, but looking up to Me, the solution-
Giver, the Filler! Stay focused on Me, not on your needs! Look at
Me, the Supplier! Look at My promises! Reach out for My heart of
love, and touch Me, and I will guarantee you greater satisfaction
than any woman could ever give you!
It’s not always necessarily bad to be in want of a certain thing
that you’ve been taking quite for granted...
You’ve got to create a vacuum for Me to fill it. There’s got to be a
need before you get stirred up sufficiently to call on Me with all
your heart to fill it.
Commit tomorrow into My hands. Commend the day into My
hands in the name of the Keys, & look what I do with it. Let each
day be Mine, and it’s going to keep getting better.

tricks of the Enemy, which he used to deceive millions to get
them to abdicate, for a mess of pottage, their highest calling of
being their brothers’ keepers, of being teachers & shepherds of
the flock, will be exposed & laid open for the whole universe. The
mess of pottage of some personal dream or desire in the end
often only turned out a decoy, a distraction of the Enemy, a
compromise to settle for a quick, easy-to-see, easy-to-reach
solution or satisfaction, as opposed to the long & winding,
thorny road of faith & patience.
For who would have thought that that child or that youngster
could have turned into a brilliant mind, a shining light & beacon
to many under your influence & tutorship? Who could have
suspected that they were wide-open treasure chests, waiting to
be filled with what you had to give them?
I’m handing out a crown of great glory to those special few who
had the vision, who were faithful, who led My little ones & guided
them by the hand, who had an unselfish love to pour their own
lives into those young & brittle vessels, often at the cost of
giving up their own dreams & visions & goals they had for
themselves.
Because they had the faith that those young ones could grow &
rise above their own limits, that they could far exceed whatever
accomplishments their teachers might otherwise have
achieved... Because they were unselfish enough to esteem
another, younger one higher and more important than
themselves, therefore I say, Hail to the faithful teachers! Glory
and honor to them from everlasting to everlasting... to those who
shared the know & shared the glow, who passed on the
knowledge of My truth in faithfulness & a humble anointing. How
greatly shall those be honored by countless millions... forever.
247 ____________________________________________________
I prefer you in a desperate & helpless state. I can use you
much better like that. Complacency is one of the greatest
enemies My children have, and one of the most dangerous,
because the presence of that yucky spirit feels as familiar and
cozy as a friend, and is seldom recognized and exposed as the
heinous foe it really is...
Don’t fall into the mode of taking things for granted. I want you to
stay alert & keep your eyes open for those golden opportunities
to touch someone’s life, to influence someone for the good,
which might bring eternal changes, to sow the seeds of My
wisdom into their hearts – to teach, being instant in season and
out of season...
248 ____________________________________________________
What is love? Love is respect, not taking someone for granted,
showing appreciation. Love is like light, reflected in the gazillions
of tiny little particles of which everything consists, without which
the light itself would remain invisible. Even so, love, without
countless tiny little manifestations, isn’t really there.
Focus on the immediate little steps of love to take, right in front
of you – as opposed to far-off goals of grandeur & splendor. It’s
the little things that make the Kingdom of Love stand, the little,
tiny molecules, that hold the whole universe together.
No ocean or mighty river without the tiny little drops of water, or
the even tinier water molecules, and likewise, ”no greater love
than this” without all the tiny little, but consistent & constant
manifestations thereof.
No babies without tiny little, invisible-to-the-naked-eye sperms &
eggs, no body without tiny little cells... It’s the tiny little faithful
actions & deeds of love that make Love the greatest thing in the
universe. So, don’t worry about great accomplishments & making
your mark in history. Nevermind about grand aspirations and
great names for yourselves. If you just stick to the tiny little
actions, deeds & steps of love, you’ll be doing just what’s
necessary to bring about the triumph of good over evil, and you’ll
be doing just fine, and you’ll be fulfilling the best possible
destiny for yourself there is.
For how can you assume that you’ll be ready to lay down your
life for another someday, by some grand endowment from on
high, if you’re not willing to take the little steps each day to show
others that you care for them, that you consider their happiness
and satisfaction and care more important than your own?
How can you think that someday you’ll be ready and faithful not
to deny Me, and to stand strong in the hour of temptation, when
you can’t resist the little temptations of selfishness right now?
You didn’t think little things were THAT important, did you? It’s
because most people are impressed by what’s big. Dinosaurs &
mammoths, skyscrapers & towers of Babel, ”Yeah, let’s build an
even higher one...” But what was once the highest building in the
World is now a heap of scrap & sorrow, and it’s the ants, not the
dinosaurs, who have survived.
So, be thankful, if you’re small & little. Enjoy it, while it lasts. It’s
like the advantage & gift of being invisible. Those who are
inflated by their pride are always a target. Even when they’re not,
they always feel attacked, they always feel criticized, they always
feel like everybody’s looking and staring at them... when often,
it’s all just in their heads.
Love IS our most important weapon. It’s the stuff that our
weapons are made out of! And all the great words & great visions
& great aspirations & great announcements of, ”Behold, we shall
do this, and we shall do that, we shall conquer this land, and we
shall be great indeed...” can sometimes turn out to be nothing
but hot air and a lesson in the importance of the faithfulness in
little things like love.
If you are called to do great things, forget not the greatest of all:
the love & humility to treat others the way you would like to be
treated yourselves. Walk a mile in their shoes, and if you still feel
like you have some great words to say afterwards, write them
down, and pass them on in humility and silence. The World
knows enough big mouths. What it needs is to see action.
Whatever you may say: tiny deeds of love will always speak
louder than words. What convinced people that I was the Christ
were not only My Words, but ultimately My actions: the miracles I
and My disciples performed. And through My Words I want to
give you the faith to do miracles yourselves. Just remember, the
way to get to those big miracles of love is via tiny little stepping
stones of faithful deeds & manifestations of love toward Me and
your fellowmen everyday. In everything you do, every minute of
every day, love is the most important thing. That is something
that will never change. Even though the manifestations might
differ or change according to the occasion: Sometimes the
ultimate proof of love will be the correction of somebody or to
stand up for your convictions of the truth, but it always has to be
done with love, for without love, anything good you might do is
nothing. If you’re failing to give love, you’re failing Me.
249 ____________________________________________________
Before you show love to those outside, you have to make sure
you’re loving those closest to you as much as yourself. See it as
one of your major tasks in life to impart to others what you have
learned, not only by recounting your experiences, but also by
honestly, humbly and lovingly approaching them about areas in
which they could improve in their lives.
For example, if there is something someone says or writes that
lacks clarity, instead of just pretending you understood, why not
sweetly admit, ”Oh, I’m sorry, I didn’t understand this. Do you
think you could make it a little more clear or explain what you
were trying to say?”
What’s important is that each correction is done in love, and that
all your teaching is an act of love.
I have bestowed upon each one of you the ability to see &
comprehend different things, & you can only fully profit from the
things I teach all of you individually by sharing them with each
other.
Who knows but what you might have to share could be the
missing piece in the picture of the major lesson I’m trying to
teach someone at this very moment in their lives! Or perhaps by
what you’ve got to share, something else will be triggered, a
reaction, or a related thread, which might help you or yet another
person along...
Sharing the know & being your brothers’ & sisters’ keepers is a
wonderful thing. Keep an open mind when you come to Me in
prayer, for what I could show you to convey to someone else.
Little is much if God is in it.

If you pour out your life to others, I will pour out My life to you!

All I ask is that you be faithful in the little things. Don’t worry
about the costs, I will more than repay whatever thou spendest.
Whatever troubles you, give it to Me, & don’t let it distract you
from the job at hand! Prayer is the pump that sucks down My sap
from the heavenlies. It creates a vacuum for Me to fill. When you
don’t know what to pray, just start praising Me, that’s one thing
you can ALWAYS do.

Bitterness sometimes is based on a misunderstanding, and
with the help of the evil Selvegion the Devil can often distort &
use anything to hinder people’s unity if you haven’t really learned
yet how to be on guard against them.
They draw your focus on some ”wrong” someone is committing
against you, or has committed, and the last thing in the World
they want you to do is recognize that they are really the culprits,
so that you would unite against them & chase them out in united
prayer & claiming of the keys.
Real love doesn’t lock others out, criticizing them & shaking
heads over all their faults & weaknesses. It’s pulling them into
your circle of fellowship, not leaving them out in the cold...
Prove whether you’ve really got what it takes to not only stay in
this Family, but to also move forward in it. Anyone can stay
where they are & stagnate, thinking they have arrived & feel all
self-righteous about it, looking down on others. But standing still
is the beginning of backsliding! You either keep constantly
gaining more ground & territory, keep making progress, going
forward, or you slide back into the morass of System-standard
me-thee-thou-&-no-other-ness.
295 ____________________________________________________
(S.H.:) The Lord is restructuring your whole department of
priorities & attempting to get you to put His Word first & make
everything revolve around the Word.
It’s hard to make drastic changes little by little, which is why
we’ve had to apply some more drastic measures & allow a series
of tumultuous incidents to occur in your life, to uproot you from
your former level, so, if everything looks a bit chaotic in your life
from time to time you’ll have to excuse us, but this was the only
way to have a revolution in your life as peacefully as possible.
Plus, it’s good preparation for greater changes yet to come.
Keep the Lord first everyday. Keep in mind the affairs of His
Kingdom as your priorities & have everything revolve around
them. Missionary work is primarily established through
preaching the gospel, getting out the Word.
Get back to the basics of getting the Words in and out, and you’ll
see how everything will fall into place.
You just need to take on a ”winner’s” attitude! The Lord knows
you’ve got what it takes, it’s just you who still needs to be
convinced of the same! But if the Lord knows it and says so, you
can bet that He knows best, so, it pays to act on it & take it by
faith. If He says you’ve got what it takes, ”You’ve GOT it!”,
Amen? You’ve got it, so go on & GIVE it!
296 ____________________________________________________
You can’t always expect people to find out the score by
themselves. You’re there to tell them!
Every good shepherd is able to learn from the sheep & he knows
when it’s time to follow their leading, but you’re still the
shepherd! You’re My employee! And as soon as you get that
point, that this is your job, & you’re going to stick to it & get with
it & quit roaming about the landscape like someone who doesn’t
have a clue about what he’s supposed to do, everything’s going
to be honky-dory!
I started this revolution with one father and his 3 kids. ”Little is
much if God is in it.”
It doesn’t pay to worry! But it always pays to love & be loving,
and to keep loving, even when you don’t feel like it! ”When you
don’t feel like being kind & loving, but you do it anyway, that’s a
miracle!” So, be the miracle & continue to be the miracle & just
hold on to Me, and you will continue to see ever greater miracles!
Be a miracle of love for Me!
297 ____________________________________________________
Can you feel the tension in the air? It’s the calm before the
storm! The days of peace & of ease are numbered. The hour of
temptation which cometh upon the whole earth to try every man,
woman & child which dwelleth therein will come. Therefore I say
unto you: Prepare! Prepare your hearts; for what you will need
most of all is faith to protect you from fear & despair! Faith for
miracles to help you rise above the most atrocious & miserable
circumstances of all times!
Blessed are those who are poor now, who are learning to do
without, who have already learned to appreciate the little things,
the small things, that which the rich, the wealthy, the mighty &
complacent despise, for those who live humbly won’t fall as hard.
Woe unto the mighty, for in that day everyone shall say ”How the
mighty have fallen, have fallen...”
Marvel not that you are a lone voice of warning... Were there not
400 prophets who foretold victory, & yet the one who prophesied
the king’s death was right? Therefore, redeem the time, for the
days are evil! Learn to truly rely on My arm, & not on your own.
The time has come to lean utterly on Me, My child!
These are My judgments on the wicked who forget God. Although
they are part of the Evil one’s plot, I allow these things to judge &
humble the wicked, the mighty & proud.
There will be a great Harvest during that time of Great Confusion.
The coming crisis will cause a mighty widening of the eyes of
those who have not discerned the signs of the times, & it will
open their ears & hearts to your words.
Time is the great tester.
Just like I purged Israel for 40 years in the wilderness & I had
purged Moses, tending the herds of Jethro the Midianite for 40
years, so I also purge & purify & prepare the hearts of My people,
My chosen & called-out ones.
Rejoice in thy humbled state, in thy weakness, in thy incapability,
for I am He who is able to thus work through you. Rejoice, for
when you can not, then I can! When you come to the end of your
rope, then I finally get a chance to work through you!
Be sober, be vigilant; for the night is almost upon you! Woe unto
the Earth and the inhabitants thereof, for the serpent will soon be
cast out, having great wrath, for he knoweth his time is short!
You are My bride, who I will care for and protect and hide in the
wilderness, so worry not, but trust! Trust in Me and forget thine
own arm! Lean wholly unto Me and I will carry you and see you
safely though the tempest and raging storm!
Though a thousand shall fall at thy side and ten thousand at thy
right hand, yet shall it not come nigh thee, for I have chosen you
out from among them, thou art Mine. Because thou hast put thy
trust in Me and hast said unto Me, ”Thou, Lord, art my rock and
my refuge”, therefore will I protect thee and keep thee and carry
thee all the days of thy life!
Your life is in My hands as a precious thing, and I will not blow it
out! Only rest there in My hands, and try not to move around too
much in your own strength, but yield your little strength to Me
and I will multiply it and use thee mightily as I will.
For there are many who say, ”Lord, use me; but in this way or
that way, in this capacity or that one ...” But only few have the
trust and yieldedness to truly commit their life into My hands and
say, ”Lord, do with me as Thou wilt.” Or ”Use me as You best see
fit”! For as I have said to My Maria that her weakness is her
greatest strength, so I say the same unto you: when thou art
weak then thou art strong, for My strength is made perfect in
your weakness! Be weak in yourself and strong in Me! Let Me
empower you, overwhelm you and take you over! Be completely
Mine! Surrender your will unto Me completely, and I will mightily
use you! Give Me your all, My love! Cease from worrying and let
Me take care of you! Why do you fret so much, do you not think
that I am fully capable of caring for you? Or that I’m not willing? I
have promised it and I will do it! Fret therefore no more. Show
them that your greatest strength is in your faith in Me!
That is the true gold that I would counsel every man to buy: the
gold of faith! Every trial will only be another precious lesson
learned, yet increasing your value. ”When He has tried me I shall
come forth as gold.” Even when they will say, ”Behold, he hath
been utterly consumed by the fire”, yet I shall raise you up like
the Phoenix from the ashes of defeat and raise you to greater
heights than thou hast dreamed of. Call them unto Me! Woo
them and win them away from the Wicked one. My sheep shall
hear My voice through thee and a stranger they will not follow.
Let anger be far from your heart! Refrain from anger and cursing
lips! Glorify and praise Me in your heart! Praise without ceasing!
You’ve got a lot to be thankful for! Just look at the doughnut and
not the hole! Behold, I am your doughnut, so, look at Me! Let Me
be your biggest blessing and constantly be thankful for Me! I’ll be
more than you’ll ever need! Only trust and be not dismayed!
Trust in Me, ”the author and finisher of your faith.”
298 ____________________________________________________
Everything that happens to you comes from Me, because I
allow it for a reason. Stop seeing the people behind those
incidents & circumstances, stop blaming them, & instead, you
really must begin to see Me in all this; seek Me in all this & ask
Me why I allow it to happen this way. You’ve simply got to look
more to Me. As Dad said, ”For God’s sake, you’ve got to see
God!”
Your life is going to start going uphill if you start seeking Me first
thing everyday, truly putting Me first on a daily basis & including
Me in everything you do. That also will amount to giving Me the
glory in all you do & for all you do, instead of seeking the glory
for yourself, or the recognition.
You’ve got to watch your motives, like Bruce in ”Bruce
Almighty”: he wanted to let the World know who he was, what a
wonderful & talented TV reporter he was, but the more he got
what he wanted, the more wrapped up in himself he became, &
the bigger the mess grew that he made out of things.
Since I’m only allowing what’s best for you, you’ll have to take it
by faith that for right now, it’s best to keep you humble, low
profile, fairly unrecognized & we don’t make a big star out of you.
I exalt those who are little in their own sight, those who know
beyond a shadow of a doubt that it’s all Me, & they wouldn’t be
tempted for a moment to give the glory to themselves.
Recognition by the World could be downright dangerous to your
spiritual growth: it’s a potentially very dangerous poison. It’s like
sunlight, which in the proper amounts is okay, but if you’ve
already been indulging in it a lot, you need to watch out, for you
might easily develop skin cancer. Any extra exposure,
recognition & applause from the World, without finding the right
balance to do the humble thing, could be dangerous. That’s why
I’m having to abase you; & believe Me, I can use you so much
better in lowly & humble capacities.
What’s really best for you right now is those little, humble jobs
where you can use your talent to spread some love & My
message. Trust Me that I know best whom I can trust with highly
elevated positions.
Why not trust Me that the shady spot I chose for you right now is
exactly the right one for you, & that in due time, when you will
have learned to humble & abase yourself & to put your whole
heart into the task at hand, regardless of who gets the credit, I
will promote you & lift you to the next appropriate level? True
humbling is a genuine process that takes time...
I would like for you to give encouragement & show kindness to
the little people I send across your path on a personal level.
Personal witnessing is so much more effective than mass
witnessing.
Ask Me for more love, for the grace to love them, knowing it’s not
really their own fault what they’ve become, but have pity on them
as captives who have been duped & entrapped by the Enemy
with his lies & lures & enticements.
They’re captives, slaves of mammon, & you’re a free man
walking among them. Show a little love & mercy, show
compassion! Can you spare a little lovin’ for those people?
That’s all they need, & all they want, & as long as you don’t have
it, you’re missing the mark. Can you spare a little lovin’, instead
of getting upset at the poor captives of Satan?
Your job is to free them, to give them a glimpse of My hope &
light & love! You need to have a major love & meekness
revolution! ”Take My yoke upon you & learn of Me, for I am meek
& lowly in heart.” Will you follow in My footsteps & learn of Me?
It’s a humble path! And the same people who cheer you, may
crucify you later, so, watch out! Don’t fall into that terrible snare
of pride... Do the humble thing! Choose the humble path! Give a
little love & sympathy wherever you go!
What the World needs now is love... Now more than ever. It’s
almost becoming extinguished, & that’s your calling: to show My
love to the World, not to show off how smart, cool & talented you
are!
Give love to the needy & save their souls! That’s all you should
worry about, that’s your perfect role! Be more like Me; a meek &
humble, loving Man. Love is the answer! Love is Me! Love is IT!
Don’t forget it, don’t neglect it – not for a minute! They need
every bit of it you can spare, so, please love, love them up for Me,
& let Me love them through you. It would make Me & them so
happy – and you, too, you’ll see! Love!
299 ____________________________________________________
(S.H.:) The Devil’s always going around ”Improving” God’s
creation, correcting ”His mistakes” & supposedly ironing out the
flaws & righting His ”wrongs”... that which the carnal mind
deems imperfect. But His ways are just different. That which man
or the Devil often call bad is in reality good, & that which many
call unclean, He has called clean...
It always boils down to the question of who they think knows
better: they themselves, or God? – That’s faith & trust, where
even if you don’t fully understand something, you still trust Him
to know best.
In the case of ending one’s life prematurely, one of the main
reasons the Lord opposes that is because many people just find
Him in their final hours, days or weeks, as was brought out in
”My Life As A House”...
The flaws & imperfections are just what’s needed to bring about
the desired results: like fertilizer!
Some folks only want to see nice, ”good” & clean things, but
that’s not reality! That’s Hollywood – the Devil’s dream world... to
get people to stay permanently dissatisfied with the real World...
300 ____________________________________________________
When you are tempted to get upset about a certain situation,
think of Me, put on My mind, and commit the situation into My
hands ( Hebr.12:3).
”Agree with thine adversary quickly whilst thou art in the way
with him..” Be friendly and show a meek spirit.
Anger can really be a dangerous inroad of the Enemy, and you
must claim the Keys right away when you feel attacked. ”Bruce
Almighty” was specially made for people who think they know so
much better than Me when I allow them to get into an unpleasant
situation, and who challenge Me and defy Me, wondering how I
can dare to have let such atrocities happen to them... But usually
when I let them have their way, they become even more
frustrated and upset with themselves, because they see they’re
making an even bigger mess out of things when they are in
charge of a situation, than when I was.
If you let Me be in charge of your life, your Home, your situation,
your relationships – everything, and you truly and humbly
commit and yield all to Me, as Bruce did in the end, learning how
to pray real prayers from the heart – especially for others - you
can test Me and see if everything won’t work out alright in the
end. That’s My challenge to you! Test Me and see if I won’t work
out any situation, any problem in life you fully commit unto Me!
Remember also to ”pray for them which despitefully use you and
persecute you” and to make an effort to ”love your enemies, do
good to them that hate you...” Try to come up with a lot more
understanding and sympathy for people, put yourself into their
shoes: consider the background and evil times they were born
into...
Ask Me for the gift to deal with people, especially for a gift of
greater love, empathy and understanding.
The times when you’ve been a lousy sample make you realize
how desperately you need to change, and they make you realize
that ”it’s good” what I’m permitting to happen in your life.
When your eyes are always wandering longingly to some
elevated, unrealistic place in your mind, where you think you
ought to be, and your heart follows them, you wind up being
completely discontent in the state you’re in, unlike the apostle
Paul, who had learned to be ”content in whatsoever state”.
Appreciate and count your blessings, be thankful, praise Me
more, and just let the light in more, so that there won’t be any
room for all that darkness which would like to take hold of your
life and soul and mind!
Stay on guard and on the attack against anger and murmuring!
Remember how much mercy, patience and longsuffering I’ve had
toward you, and it might help you to wink at the faults of others a
little more... ”
Remember that with the same measure you mete out to others
they will mete out to you again. ”Judge not that ye be not
judged” – ”Do unto others as you would have them do unto you!”
If you criticize others, you will also be criticized! You’re the one
who’s got the truth and should know better. ”If ye know these
things happy are ye if ye do them."
301 ____________________________________________________
I have made women different; the soft, warm, emotional
counterpart to the hard, cool, rational way of the masculine
character.
There is more you can do in order to understand them, and I
want you to! That’s your homework for this course in inter-
human relationships you subscribed to in this college of life. And
if you neglect your homework, you shouldn’t be surprised if you
flunk the tests.
I have provided the study material for you. It’s work, & the
hardest part is overcoming your own lethargy & lack of interest.
Life is all about venturing out into the unknown, exploring the
other side, conquering the new. Otherwise there’s no progress,
no challenge, no growing, no forward movement.
Put yourself in their shoes to try to see & feel things the way they
do.
In order to be loved by them, you need to love them enough to be
willing to try to understand them, to leave your masculine
pedestal & descend to the depth of the female psyche. Don’t
worry; don’t be afraid; I’m not going to let you get lost there... I’m
holding your hand, & I’ll be your guide.
I’m the Lover of all lovers, & I can teach you a lot about women
that you don’t know, but you’ve got to show some interest & do
the part you can do, so I in return can do what you can’t & fill in
the blanks, or whisper in your ears what you don’t find in the
textbooks.
Get wisdom! Get wise & learn about women. I know you’re
scared, but instead of letting them draw you away from Me, draw
them closer to Me. To learn to teach them to satisfy their desires
with My help, you have to know what it is they want & then
present the heavenly solution to them from the right angle. Just
saying, ”The Lord & the Word will solve all your problems” won’t
do the trick! You may have to spoon-feed them & let Me love
them through you. I am a sexy, ardent Lover, Who can fulfill their
wildest dreams better than anyone else ever could.
Many men simply don’t care enough to want to understand.
Finding out what women want could improve life on planet Earth
a whole lot.
That’s the way I arranged it, the conditions for love & marriage: If
you want it to grow, you’ll have to share it. If you refuse to share
it, it will shrink. Just like a flower will wither away if you hide it &
keep it away from the light, so love will wither if you try to keep it
to yourselves. It’s a law of the spirit I’ve established. Are you
ready to trust Me that I won’t let you get hurt more than you’re
able to bear? When you grow, it hurts your muscles, so if you
want to grow in love, you’ll have to bear with a little pain as you
give away what you hold most dear... Ready for this? Well,
whenever you are... I’ll be waiting for you with greater rewards.
Have I ever disappointed you or failed to reward you sufficiently
for a step of obedience you took towards Me? Maybe you don’t
always see your rewards, which is why it’s so important to count
your blessings from time to time & never cease to praise Me! I
love to teach you the wonders of life!
302 ____________________________________________________
The weakening of the flesh in order to bring about My
strength in you really is a beautiful process for Me to behold. The
shedding of the old to give birth to the new. The farewell of the
cocoon of the flesh to welcome the wings of the spirit which will
help you rise above & fly higher than you’ve ever been before...
Letting go of the flesh & the enticements of the world in order to
put Me & My will first in your lives is a crucifixion of the flesh, &
the Enemy fights it, but I highly honor each sacrifice you make
for Me! Pioneering & stretching out your hands of faith in a new
direction is what all My children who are willing & ready to
undergo changes I bring about in their lives, are preparing for:
the big changes in the World that are now on the horizon. Even
though the times ahead will be the darkest in all of history, you
will be My shining lights in it, for you hold My truth, & you are My
candles & torches in the night, My diamonds of dust. You were
created for this purpose, & I have prepared you for this. Fear not,
but walk into the future with your heads held high & raising high
the torch & flame I have given you.
Fight & resist the oppressing forces of darkness. The Evil one
will seek to control every facet & angle of a man’s life.
So, prepare yourselves. Focus on, & guard in your hearts My
high calling for you to be My shining lights to the World in gross
darkness!
I will feed you, keep you, supply for you & care for you just like I
always have. You will have to rely utterly & totally on Me, which
is what I’m teaching you right now, so you can depend on Me
more & more as time progresses.
The greater the desperation, the greater the vacuum, the power
with which you draw strength, energy, input & counsel from Me!
The greater the need, the more I can fill, for I can only fill the
hungry with goods, but will have to send the rich, the full, the
self-satisfied away empty.
So, isn't it a blessing to be small & desperate, clinging to Me for
every day of your life? Isn't it so much more blessed than the
self-satisfied, lukewarm mode of confiding in the flesh?
Stir yourselves up & implore Me, seek Me & beg Me to fill the
need. Where there is no need, there is no space to fill...
303 ____________________________________________________
To be honest & to tell the truth is part of the proof of your
love. It’s part of the price of living the law of love.
Learning to communicate openly & honestly is one high attribute
& quality to attain, & if you can, you’ll be so much more of an
overcomer, a true prophet of God & child of God who won’t have
anything to hide... just pure light, pure truth, innocent & humble.
The pair of pliers grabs the piece of gold & holds it in the fire
until it melts. Making you pass through the fire will bring forth the
peaceable fruit of righteousness, which will spring forth into a
fruitful tree of life, bearing much fruit unto Me & bringing life to
many.
So, marvel not, nor be dismayed at the fiery trial which is to try
you, as though some strange thing happened unto you, but
rejoice, for in this you shall become truly unafraid & a brave heart
of gold...
It’s a special destiny, a special trial, a special purging, but with a
special reward. You will understand & know that is has been
worth it all, & you will rejoice in My wisdom, in My mercy, that I
have bestowed upon you the honor to suffer thus, because of the
special splendor, the special beauty for ashes, the particular
brilliance, shine, magic & usefulness this purging will result in.
Hold on, knowing that you shall come forth as gold... There is no
other way for Me to make you truly willing to do anything at
anytime for anybody & be nobody for Me!
I am the Planner & Perfecter of all this. I am what matters.
Through all this, I draw you closer to Me! Thou art Mine. I am a
consuming fire & a jealous God, & will have no other gods before

315 ____________________________________________________
My ways are not your ways, not the ways of the World! In the
World, the winner is always in the right, but I sometimes train My
children to become more than conquerors through becoming
good losers. If this life would all be oh-so-wonderful from A-Z,
why, you would dread the day I call you to join Me in My
Kingdom.
But by maintaining it thus, that My children & true brides more
often than not appear to be the losers in this World, I make them
conquerors of death, even through their own death of self &
pride, even as I conquered death through My suffering on the
cross...(Jn.12:24).
This death will always result in a glorious resurrection which will
make it worth it all: the suffering, the sadness, the gloom &
humiliation & the pain.
"Fools laugh only in the sun", but a wiser man will have learned
to find joy & laughter even in the rain. I'm having to remind you
of this basic truth & principle over & over again, because of your
tendencies to be influenced & swayed by the conditions &
circumstances of the World... outward appearances, & worldly
ideas of success. Love loves the unlovely. Everybody loves the
beautiful, but love those who are unloved, & you'll truly gather up
for yourself a treasure in Heaven!
There is still so much for you to learn, & this fact alone should
keep you young & fresh & excited at heart, & not let the Enemy
make you feel like your life is practically over...
I'm touching you with My finger & revive you, rejuvenate &
resurrect you & I make you young again!
I put before you the ways of life & of death, to choose this day, &
according to your faith be it unto you! "As a man thinketh in his
heart, so is he!" You can think of yourself as a dinosaur on the
brink of death & oblivion, & that's what you're going to be! OR
you lift up your eyes, your face to Me, the Giver of eternal life, &
let Me invigorate you, quicken & strengthen you & let Me fill you
until overflowing with sparkling life & energy! "As thy days, so
shall be the thy strength!"
I want you to be young & free - the older you get! See how much
My ways differ from the ways of the World? The older you get,
the younger you become! That's My magic! That's My
unfathomable, incomprehensible, un-analyzable miracle-working
power & way, confounding the wise & mighty!
I want to show you who the true heroes & conquerors are, those
who rise above the rules & confines of the physical world by My
omnipotent power!
Come, follow Me, & I will yet rejuvenate you & bring you to
greater heights of accomplishment & achievement than you have
dreamed of.
The Devil is just scared out of his wits, because he knows what
I'm capable of doing through you! So he tries to pull his cloak
over you, his gray & gloomy veil of sadness, of loss, of defeat,
when there's yet EVERYTHING to gain! School has just begun!
You ain't nearly done yet, so, don't let the old punk fool you, like
the fox & the cat in "Pinocchio" were telling him not to go to
school...
Don't be naïve & don't fall for his lies! I've had to rescue you out
of many a cage & entrapment, & out of the belly of the whale, &
now out there on the winds & waves of the open sea of life you're
going to have to prove if you're noble enough to lay down your
life for your brethren in order for My fairy - the Holy Ghost - to
make you into a "real boy"! Now that's the epitome of the
difference between My way & the World's: you must die in order
that you might really live!
316 ____________________________________________________
The Devil is sooo busy distracting My children from focusing
on Me.
The Father purges every branch that it may bring forth more fruit,
so, the chastisements, corrections & purgings must come. He
eliminates all blemishes from My bride for Me, so that she may be
pure, blameless & spotless before Me, which is also the main
reason for the Tribulation ahead...
Judgment must come, & it must begin with My own house.
Let not even those closest to you distract you from Me, for only I
can give you the solutions for each individual situation, & it’s
essential that you remain in close, personal contact with Me &
don’t lose the connection! This connection can be compared to
the flame of a candle, & as in ”Burn Free!”, the hands that come
closest to extinguishing the flame are the well-meaning ones of
close loved ones... So, beware that no man snuff out thy flame,
but guard it with all diligence!
317 ____________________________________________________
Look at what you can do for Me! Don’t look at the wind &
waves, nor at your fellow servants... Keep your eyes full of trust
in Me, your Captain, & your heavenly crew.
Keep your eyes on Heaven & keep attuned to the Spirit world!
Look not at the flesh! The flesh has nothing for you! Look at the
Spirit & there find riches & untold treasures to give & to pass on
to those who are searching, thirsting & starving for My love, My
Words, My answers, My Spirit & Wisdom...
Look at your Family in the Spirit! Seek contact with those who
really have something to offer you! The riches I’ve got to offer are
spiritual! All I can give you is the Spirit! Will you treasure Her
above all Earthly things? Delve into the Spirit & get in touch with
those of the Spirit World. Get to the Source!
The carnal, the known is so much more comfortable, & you feel
more secure. But it’s time to reach out for the new, to stretch out
your hands of faith & venture into the unknown! It’s time to go
through the gate, to pierce the veil & get in touch with those it
really pays getting in touch with! It’s time for that which really
matters! Time to get to know your real friends better, those
behind the veil, who have been watching you, helping you,
supporting you, leading & guiding you, praying for you &
accompanying you for the longest time. And they can guide you
to the right people, too, whom you can give what is essential, &
they in turn will give you whatever you need.
Come & play with your older, more mature brethren in My realm.
They’re so close: just as close as I am, & it’s essential that you
start learning to tune into them & communicate more with them!

yourself. Once you do this & apply & give love yourself, you also
become more attractive to those you want to love you.
A perfect example of this is ”Groundhog Day”: as long as he had
any selfish motives, he failed in trying to conquer her heart. Only
when he finally was completely broken & had become a truly
loving man, was he able to conquer her heart with genuine love,
& it broke the spell. Before the position of your heart is right, it
acts like the wrong pole of a magnet: it pushes people away. This
feeling of ”I want you!” often has the opposite of the desired
effect. But once your heart is truly turned toward Me & you allow
Me to love others through you, they become attracted to you, too.
334 ____________________________________________________
The best thing to do when you want a hug from someone, is
to give them a hug! It’s the attitude of the heart that makes the
difference: whether you WANT a hug or you want to GIVE
someone a hug. It’s all a matter of whether all that concerns you
is what you want, or whether you care what I want. I want you to
learn to give, not walk through life always wanting this, wanting
that, wanting someone... I’d like people to come to the point
where they have the attitude that sings, ”I want to give – keep on
giving...”
335 ____________________________________________________
Feeling rejected in those ”in love” feelings has to do with
whether the love you have is the passive & selfish kind, or the
active, giving & unselfish – true kind of love. Let Me activate you
& turn you into a generator of true love, a giver of true love, one
active doer of true love, & I personally promise you that you
won’t feel rejected anymore.
If you feel like you can’t do it yourself, ask Me! Of course, you
can’t do it yourself! That’s what I’m here for, to help you do it!
Turn to Me for your needs, instead of to another frail, imperfect
human being, & I’ll give you so much to give, not only to them,
but also to countless others who might really need your love,
they won’t be able to help but love you & receive you with arms
wide open.
336 ____________________________________________________
St. Francis prayed, ”Let me not seek to be loved, but to
love... for it is in giving that we receive...” You may be waiting for
others to give you love, while all the while I’m waiting for you to
give love to others.
You’re not a baby anymore, but old enough to give love yourself,
not look around for somebody else to give YOU love! You have to
focus on giving instead of receiving! Keep on giving! ”Be not
weary in well-doing, for in due season you shall reap if you faint
not.”
These answers won’t satisfy you & your longing – UNLESS you
receive them, accept them as My truth, My answer, My solution to
your problem & apply them, believe them & act on them!
337 ____________________________________________________
”The keys have the power to transform your natural presence
into the presence of God!” Call on the keys to let Me transform
your ”draggy” presence into an irresistible presence that they’ll
want to hug & feel like kissing, too. You just need to come to Me
& get that power of My divine love & let Me transform you,
change you, & I’ll guarantee, never again will you ever feel
unloved!
Everybody will enjoy your presence! You won’t have to be afraid
of anyone’s reaction, either, when you feel like kissing them.
You’ll just kiss them, & they’ll be fine, because you’ll be giving a
kiss, not wanting a kiss!
If you don’t speak up about your desires & battles, & you don’t
give them to Me, either, the one who always winds up ”running to
your aid” is the Devil, in the form of one of his emissaries, who
will be eager to tell you things like, ”They hate you, anyway” &
”they love everyone else more than you”: He’ll also give you the
desire to leave. After all, ”everyone will be better off if you leave!”
One day, My love, as rotten & useless as you may feel right now,
you will see the difference you have made in their lives, just like
the guy in ”It’s A Wonderful Life”... Try to imagine just a tiny
glimpse of the difference you’ve made in their life already, not to
speak of what’s to come, and the difference you’ll make in the
lives of many others if you’ll just hang on to Me & let Me turn you
on & let your light so shine before men...
338 ____________________________________________________
When you can’t do anything but pray, let Me remind you that
praying is not the least you can do for someone, but the most.
There’s not as much in it for you as when you comfort them with
your natural presence, but – believe Me: prayer is MUCH more
effective! You’ll SEE it one day!
You can’t do anything, except all I’ve been telling you! Stop
feeling sorry for yourself for not getting what you want, & start
coming to Me for what I want you to give! You can only be a help
by deciding to grow up in the spirit & become mature enough to
stand on your own 2 feet spiritually & emotionally, by doing
whatever you can to really ease the load instead of perpetually
wanting & wanting & thus being an additional weight, drawing,
instead of giving...!
339 ____________________________________________________
Are you willing to change & let Me make you a new creature,
or are you hanging on to the old – the shadows of the past?
There are dark spirits in that past, and it’s time you tell them to
leave.
You need to change some of your attitudes! Trust Me that “I have
made thee thus” for a good reason!
I have made you beautiful, & the only thing that needs to change
is your heart & some of your attitudes. Come & jump into the
waters of My Word, & you’ll be clean! Don’t listen to the liar! Kick
him out!
340 ____________________________________________________
Your fears are mainly a lack of faith in My Words to you.
Nobody’s forcing you to believe or obey My Words, but your
happiness depends on it... Will you choose to be happy, or
miserable?
341 ____________________________________________________
I have given you your request, but did it really make you
happier, spiritually stronger? Did it bear good fruit? Or did it just
result in you desiring even more, like an ever-growing hole that
nothing seemed to be able to fill? If so, then this kind of
addiction is Obsession & needs to be rebuked & replaced by
genuine, giving love!
I desire to make you happy, & I will, if you just come to Me &
accept My will for you, instead of insisting on what you want.
Trust Me that I know better what’s really good for you!
342 ____________________________________________________
Don’t let the World push Me out of your life! Don’t let it re-

I’ve had to gently woo & win over months! Could it be that you’re
still so impressed by the World that you respect their opinions so
highly? Don’t you know yet that you’ve got so much more than
they? Give them what you’ve got to give & don’t let fear of them
rule you! Trust in Me completely!
Don’t run off to fight the battle in your own strength! Don’t take
up the challenge on your own! Don’t let the sight of those waves,
the howling of that wind sway you, distract you & pull your focus
off Me!Stay strong! Stay firmly attached to Me!

The flesh... after all, is the stuff pride feeds on. My Spirit is you’ve got, & just watch what happens!
Focus not on the need, on your lack, but on all you’ve still got to
give. No matter how much you lose, you’re still so much richer in
the spirit than everybody else for miles around! You’ve got so
much to give. And yet, you so hesitantly & reluctantly share,
barely even aware of how rich you are, always only focusing on
the physical circumstances of your needs & lack of having what
others have got. You share with them what you’ve got & they’ll
share with you what they’ve got; that’s the way it has always
worked & the way it was ordained from the beginning!
The meaning of life: the secret & the magic lies in the simple act
of giving! Stretch that muscle a little more & work it up a bit
more, & you’ll be able to run circles around everybody else. Or
even better yet: teach them how to give, too, & let them also
participate of the heavenly blessing & the meaning of life!
351 ____________________________________________________
Come on, let’s crucify your flesh & bring to naught all your
old habits, attitudes & ways that would raise themselves against
My reign over them, let’s kill them, mortify your worries & get
everything out of the way that’s not utterly yielded to Me, & let it
result in a glorious resurrection of a new creature in Christ
Jesus that really lets Me live & move & think & talk & make
decisions in you, & that can wholeheartedly say, ”It is not I that
live, but Christ which liveth in me.” (Gal.2:20)
352 ____________________________________________________
”The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak” (Mt.26:41).
”To will is present with me; but how to perform that which is
good I find not” (Rom.7:18). You’ve got to ”will” a little harder &
put your will so much on My side that the unwillingness of the
flesh will be overcome.
Your spirit, may be willing; but your flesh, your old man, may act
quite “unwillingly.” But since what actually counts is what you
do, not merely your intentions, how willing you really were is
evidently seen in the physical manifestation, your works...
Although you may consider yourself ”willing”, there is still more
to give, more progress to be made, more willingness to be
shown.
Real willingness says, “Yes, Sir! What’s mine is Yours; what else
can I give?” And the more you practice THAT kind of willingness,
the easier it becomes, because THAT’S the kind of willingness
that makes Me willing to pour out My blessings to you beyond
measure... And in the process, you become more & more willing
all the time!
353 ____________________________________________________
I love you as My dear, beloved child & bride, & love it to be
gentle & sweet & tender with you. But I also have ordained it that
My people should shepherd each other, & you have to get used
to correction.
Your survival in this war depends a lot on the progress you make
in your training, and in order to grow, you need correction. If
there was nothing about you that needed to be changed
anymore, this would mean that your purpose on Earth would be
accomplished, & I could just take you Home to Me.
But as long as you’re still on Earth, you can assume that there’s
still progress to be made, things I’d like to change about you.
And you will need to receive some correction. I’ve ordained
shepherds to help you see areas in your life, which might not
even occur to you to ask Me about, as you might not even be
aware of them at all.
You’ve got a pretty straight view forward: you look at the things
you want & you run for them & you grab them if you can; you
jump over any obstacles or run around them if you can, & that’s
your way of going through life. But if you walk a little more
circumspectly, & you get your focus off the ”object of your
affection” long enough to ask Me about those other things &
their meanings, you’ll discover so much more beauty, so many
more things that add to the purpose of life & the joy of it...
Take time to absorb other things more as well. Open your life, My
sweetheart. Even things you may initially dislike can turn out to
be so precious. Even correction from Me, although hard to take,
brings forth the golden, peaceable ”fruit of righteousness unto
them which are exercised thereby” (Heb.12:11). It’s a matter of
exercise, training, being drilled & used to it. Don’t shun it. It’ll do
you so much good. Learn to appreciate & cherish it & be grateful
for it. It’s a great humbling factor, the medicine to your soul you
need.
354 ____________________________________________________
The most common religion in the World: the worship of the
flesh.
”There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end
thereof are the ways of death,” the way of all flesh. The way of
the spirit is often the complete opposite, defies the way of the
flesh, & thus the flesh fights it.
This rejection of My way of the spirit is often preceded by some
rejection of truth, & therefore, not having received the love of the
truth, I must allow those other spirits to speak to them & offer
them the lie. Choose what you’re going to believe: your own
“truth,” or Mine...
355 ____________________________________________________
Humility is the ability to take the blame. Pride is the inability
to do so & thus always blames the others, radiating a black cloud
of accusations & pointing the finger.
It’s a spiritual choice between the humble road of taking the
blame & letting Me change you by accepting the truth, & the road
of pride & not really accepting the responsibility for what
happened, which will lead to seeking the blame elsewhere...
356 ____________________________________________________
I’m like a Great Doctor, coming into a very, very sick World,
eager to bring My healing, but in order to benefit from My
healing, the patients have to accept the fact that they ARE sick.
The problem with that is that their false medicine man & voodoo
doctor, the Devil, has given them a drug that makes them feel
good in spite of their sickness, & that drug is pride.
He also distracts them with other sins, but pride is at the root of
them all. Pride is what makes people refuse My help, because it
makes them refuse to see the seriousness of their condition!
It doesn’t occur to them why that snaky voodoo doctor would go
to any lengths to defy Me & destroy them. He even cooked up
whole fields of science based on his lies, for no other purpose
but to deceive them that did not receive the love of the truth.
How much do you love the truth? Do you want ALL of it, lock,
stock, barrel, no holds barred, or do you say ”That’s enough!”
when it gets to the ugly part?
(Gen.8:21, Jer.17:9) The only thing that truthfully reflects the
state of your heart is My Word. Let it sink in deeply, for that’s the
only thing that will heal it.
How much do you want the truth to make you free? Are you
willing to part with your own, personal little ”matrix”?
357 ____________________________________________________
To look for details that ”aren’t so” in My Word is one of the
Devil’s oldest tricks. ”Hath God said so? Ye shall not surely die!”
And he was right: they didn’t. At least not right away. But the
punishment was there, & I tell you, it was worse for them than
death. When death finally came for Adam & Eve, it was like sweet
relief from the pain & suffering they had brought upon
themselves & the whole World by choosing to believe the Devil’s
lie over My Word.
So, the Devil will always find something I said he can point his
finger at & gleefully say, ”See? Not true!” to get you to discard
the whole message, so you won’t believe & receive it, but rather
believe his version. But you’ll be the one suffering the
consequences. Whether you’ll die right away or later: you will
know one day that your death – your spiritual death & decline –
occurred the moment you chose to doubt My Word & disobey...
you were just buried later.
358 ____________________________________________________
The lust of the flesh is the ambitions of the flesh to strive
against & nullify the spiritual.
The natural reaction of the flesh to the spirit is to counter &
contradict it, to fight it.
The flesh claims to know better. Better than Me or anyone whom I
may anoint at the moment to take up My standard & raise a
conversation to a spiritual or more edifying level. That’s why you
must be aware of the struggle, so that you make a conscious
effort not to discourage each other. Everyone has their weak &
fleshly moments. But I’m trying to teach you to be aware of those
unguarded moments & to make an effort not to blurt out any silly
thought that comes to your mind & would love to cross your lips,
but to restrain yourself in order not to break the spirit when
someone is trying to say something edifying, even if you may not
feel at that moment that it’s a hundred percent appropriate.
Those feelings can be deceiving at times.
It’s called respect, & esteeming your brother higher than yourself
to give them the benefit of the doubt at such occasions & ask Me
to control your actions & support your brother or sister in spite
of your initial urge to contradict them or steer in a contrary
direction of what they’re saying. Claim the key of unity. If you
keep in mind how important unity is & your loyalty to each other
in supporting each other when someone is trying to lift Me up,
then you realize that it far outweighs anything ”cool” or funny
you might have to say.
It’s those idle words you’re going to have to give an account for;
those that don’t have any meaning, no value, no edifying
purpose, nothing uplifting to them, no spirit, only flesh. You’re
pointing downward instead of up. Instead of supporting your
brethren & gather with Me, in an effort to lead them to Me or to
score points in Heaven, you scatter abroad...
It’s like a naughty child tossing over a toy brick construction
their brother or sister has just been trying to build. I’m trying to
teach you the importance & the severity of the impact of each of
your words. You’ve heard that quote lots of times, “Words are
real things. They bless or they curse, they build or destroy, lift up
or condemn...” Words are the building blocks of the universe.
Through My Words the worlds were made (Heb.11:3), and if you
follow in My footsteps, you must be aware of the impact of your
words. You create or destroy with them. You either sow good
seeds or weed seeds. There is no in-between.
Either you promote Me & My message, or the Enemy’s.
The Enemy’s subtle message always promotes the lust of the
flesh, the lust of the eyes, the pride of life.
Do you want to go through life doing, sowing & promoting things
that are good or merely “not as bad”? It’s not about not
backsliding or not sinking back into the mire, it’s about going
forward, gaining territory, an offensive warfare, an attacking
initiative, not a defensive strategy just simply trying to defend &
protect what you’ve got from the Devil’s attacks.
Whatever doesn’t promote Me & My truth, must be promoting
something else... the World, the lust of the flesh, the lust of the
eyes & the pride of life... even what they call love doesn’t have
anything to do with the real thing. That worldly concept of love is
one of the most dangerous illusions, robbing Me of more workers
than any other of Satan’s tricks.
Only the real, true 100% sold out revolutionaries can stick to My
raw truth of Mt.10:37.
359 ____________________________________________________
The Enemy can only get you down & discouraged or feeling
condemned for things you could be doing better when you don’t
link up with Me as much as you could. As long as you’re on My
wavelength, praising Me or communicating with Me, he’s got no
chance. That’s why I’m trying to get you all to pray & praise
”without ceasing”, so that your channels will be occupied by Me
all the time & thus you’ll ”give no place to the Devil”...
In order to really hit home, you’ve got to focus the power not only
onto yourself & pray or praise for your own benefit, but it’ll be
lots more effective if you turn that power outward, toward those
that surround you & have them benefit from it.
360 ____________________________________________________
Inasmuch as you apply these Words & take up the
challenges, so shall you also be a partaker of the promises.
”The grass is always greener on the other side” & you all simply
have to learn to be thankful for your individual situation, trusting
Me that I knew best what kind of a situation to give you.
Likewise you’re going to have to trust Me that I will give you the
most perfect, personally designed situation & role to fulfill in the
future. It’s still a little hard for you to trust Me, the Director of the
play, with the distribution of the roles. You would all like to be
little directors yourselves...
The quality of your performance depends on your dedication &
what you put into it. Sometimes some rather unknown actor in a
little, less significant side-role can take the audience’s breath
away more than the main actors & characters, & by the grace of
God you can be such a man, but it’s up to you, your willingness
to put all you’ve got into it...
If the motive is to inspire them & to help them make it, & to give
your own life for another’s & forsake your own interests, then
anything is possible. But if you just want to show off how much
better you think you can do, you might as well forget it.
The best is to be content with your little role & play it the best
you know how & trust Me for it & just do what you can to make
the best of it. You never know who might be chosen for different
roles in a later cast... And there’s still lots of stories to be told, a
lot of history to make & a lot of victories to be won that people
are going to tell tales & write plays about for a long time to come.
Just stay on the right side & do what I tell you, & you’ll fare
alright. Don’t worry about who gets the glory.
361 ____________________________________________________
I love you unconditionally: success or failure, I treat both of
those imposters the same, & that is, I treat them both as success.
If you fail in some area, I’ll use it to draw you closer to Me, so.
Just go at My speed, which is slow enough to ensure that
everyone can make it.
I use whatever you let Me use. It has to happen voluntarily:
you’ve got to want it. I’m bound by what you actually ask Me to
do, so, pray & ask Me.
You absorb the vibes of those around you, & if you pass them on
to Me & commit them into My hands & ask Me to work in their
lives, you can change them & change your environment, your
surrounding – your world! I can give you the answers & solutions
– the words & attitudes & actions those people need, individually
tailored to their data, which you first transmitted to Me. You
transmit the data, & I send you the answer, the update, the plug-
in or fix-up, whatever they need. If you’re too tired to do anything
else, there’s still sooo much you can accomplish through prayer!
You can be partakers of My sufferings & help Me carry My cross
by helping your brothers & sisters to make it, by praying for
them, supporting them, & doing whatever I show you & put within
you to help them, lift them up & encourage them.
Many lives are saved by those who decide to live for others...
Those who forget about their own burdens & crosses for the
sake of others, & to help them carry theirs, turning the power
outward instead of inward, which has a great reward: the joy &
happiness of truly living for others.
362 ____________________________________________________
Looking unto man is walking the low road; looking unto Me
is walking the high road. When you were looking at man, you
took their failings as an excuse to lower your own standard, &
you sank ever lower.
But now you know there IS no excuse; that what I have told you
that I want from you is what counts, regardless of what anyone
else does, now you look to Me & I can lead & guide you in My
high road, free from the distractions of what anyone else says or
does... That’s the kind of conviction it takes in order to become a
sample to others.
No more the low road of taking the path of least resistance & the
least risk, the path of comfort, pleasure & self-satisfaction
because you figure, ”After all, why should I be giving more than
what anyone else might be giving? Why cheat myself out of any
pleasure or selfish gain?” – Now it’s different.
It’s ”I’m going to give & keep going forward, even if I’m the only
one; even if no one else does. He’s loved me so much, how can I
give Him back any less than all I can?” THAT’S the attitude that
makes more than conquerors & turns losers into winners. That’s
what makes Me proud of you; it’s gonna make you shine, & you’ll
never regret it!
363 ____________________________________________________
I don’t want you to be part of that System, or “established” to
the point where you think you have to watch out for your
reputation. I want you to burn free & be liberated from clichés of
prestige & worrying about being accepted. It’s lukewarmness &
man-pleasing & everything I abhor & I want you to hate it, too.
If you’re really going to burn free & spread My message, be My
samples to this wicked nation, you’re going to have to leave the
old ways behind. Come, step out into the new! Don’t stay in the
old, worn out rut! Come away from her, My children! Come out of
the Whore! Come out from among them & touch not the unclean
thing!
You could be much further along if you would just choose to be
more radical, more sold out for My cause & less enwrapped by
the System, your Egypt, your Babylon... the place you look up to
in awe & think ”I want to be accepted by them!” But that’s the
very pull of the World that’s enmity against Me & My cause,
against everything I stand for, everything I’ve poured into you.
It’s bringing to naught everything I have tried to establish &
cultivate in you. Just one little look from the Whore & you’re
gone again, hypnotized, spell-bound, & you’ve forgotten all your
vows of faithfulness & how you wanted to serve Me & do the
humble thing, be nobody, do anything for anybody to please Me,
etc.
You still think she’s a lady, when all I’ve been trying to make you
see is that she’s a slut. She’s not worth it. I want you to kick her
butt! Kick her out of your life & sock it to her. Let her sic her dogs
on you, so what. You think she’s really ever going to like you or
accept you? She hates you & would like to destroy you & would
like to tear you in pieces if she could, because her heart belongs
to her lover, Satan.
364 ____________________________________________________
Shepherding requires wholehearted dedication, if you want
to keep everyone happy & content.
A shepherd is usually the first to get up, not the last. A true
shepherd is a servant to others, making sure they’ve got all their
needs met, & that’s a full-time job. A shepherd has to be on the
ball & get his instruction from Me, the Master Shepherd, so he
will know the direction I want him to go & lead the flock every
day.
A shepherd will also need the help & counsel & support of the
older sheep or fellow shepherds, especially if he’s new on the
job, to make sure he’s not forgetting anything important.
365 ____________________________________________________
Reason says, “I can’t afford to give because my own
situation is too tight.” Generosity says, “You never lose by
giving.” Reason sees your own lack; generosity sees the
abundant blessing that lies in giving in spite of the lack. Reason
is the hoarding, stingy, selfish & self-preserving, so-called
realistic attitude. Generosity is an open heart that pours forth; it
can do no other, ignoring the reasoning of your mind.
”Giving your love away” (and whatever I’ve given you)... “is
doing what your heart says to.” So, listen to your heart! It’s so
much greater to live by the heart & following what the heart tells
you to do than do just hearken to the narrow confines of the
mind. The mind sees the boundaries & impossibilities & why it
can’t be done & shouldn’t even be tried. The heart just feels the
urge to do it anyway & trust Me for the outcome.
366 ____________________________________________________
I’m always right here with you. I never leave you, nor forsake
you. Even if you feel distant from Me.
None of you will ever develop their full potential on Earth, you
will always be imperfect, as long as you live in the flesh, but you
will be awed by what each of you shall be: perfect like Me,
nothing wanting. So, love each other, knowing that the
imperfection you see will soon be exchanged for a perfect, whole
soul...Hold on & see what no eyes can see, beyond that which is
now, this fleeting shadow, into the everlasting beauty & glory of
what you’re all going to be! Love each other with a glimpse of
that perfect love, which casts out all fear & all other
imperfections, sins & blemishes. Love is what makes you
perfect! Be perfect in love, My children!
367 ____________________________________________________
If you let people know everything that pops through your
head, they’ll soon lose respect & stop listening. But if you only
speak when you’ve got something worthwhile to say, the
chances are higher that they might actually listen long enough &
stay interested.
Foolishness kills people’s respect for you. If you get into a
foolish spirit, people will have a hard time taking you serious
next time you’ll have something important or serious to say.
You don’t have to be foolish, sarcastic or nervous, or superficial;
you can just be loving & thus win their hearts. Say something
when you’ve got something to say. And listen, when you don’t!
Too few people really know how to listen anymore, so, why not
be one of those, skilled in that rare art? And don’t only listen to
the words of their mouths, but try to hear the unspoken words of
their hearts! Learn the secret language of what they really mean
to say. You can only learn this with the help of My Spirit, and only
if you’re seriously interested, if you sincerely care & want to
become a soul winner, if you love them & would like to see them
in Heaven!
You can pray, when you meet a person that has your interest,
that I give you the key to their heart & show you what it is that
touches them & awakes them from their spiritual slumber or gets
them out of their hole. Many, many people only act in a
superficial manner because they are afraid to show their true,
inner self. Listen harder. And look deep into their hearts, deeply
into their eyes & let Me reveal to you their thoughts, their desires,
their fears, their dreams & heartaches.
368 ____________________________________________________
The greatest gift you can give Me is another soul to love.
I love it when you love another one for Me & bring them to Me to
be ravished by Me. Inasmuch as ye have loved the least of these,
My brethren, ye have loved Me!
369 ____________________________________________________
You must see a potential friend in everyone you meet, a
friend who might receive Me, if you just give them a chance, a
friend you should be willing to lay down your life for – your pride
& reputation. No greater love hath any man than this...
What you give them & tell them or don’t will make all the
difference in the World to them; you can determine their eternal
future by what you choose to give to them or withhold from them.
370 ____________________________________________________
If I am the goal, the target, the bulls-eye, then of course, the
Devil will do all he possibly can to distract you from Me, to cause
you to miss Me & if he won’t manage to do so by outside
influences, he’ll use anything he can get a hold of inside your 4
walls. The art is to keep focusing on Me, anyway!
The consequences if you don’t are the usual consequences of
missing the mark, failing Me & not hitting where you were meant
to: failure, sin, disobedience, beating the air, wasting precious
time, & consequently feeling condemned or discouraged about it,
so, it pays to fight to keep your focus on Me!
It pays to do everything you possibly can to keep Me first place,
even if it‘s not easy, even if it‘s a fight, even if it costs a lot. The
first-class ticket might cost a lot more than a cheap last-minute
flight, but it compensates the extra cost by many blessings: the
assurance of My company, guidance, blessing & that you’re in
My perfect will...

comfort, great peace & satisfaction... It‘s My solution to your problems, My healing to your spiritual
blindness & inability to see some of your very own weaknesses.
Some day you will see the perfect touch of My hand to bring
about a magical constellation, which set loose a mountain slide
of chain reactions, an explosion of My love.
A baby brings many new “burdens” in the form of a greater work
load. But in My eyes, that babe may be the purpose you’re here
for, for what else is life all about but learning to care for someone
else, learning to help those who are weaker?
Soon it will turn out to have been the biggest blessing & richest
source of rewards in your life you could have ever dreamed of.
You will be so overwhelmed that you’ll be ashamed of every time
you wondered whether it was worth it.
379 ____________________________________________________
I would like you to spend more time on those that are weaker,
that need your guidance, time & attention, feeding them, in
giving mode.
It is human nature only to want to spent time with those you look
up to, those you admire & think are cool. But I have ordained it
thus that in order to truly enrich oneself, they’ve got to give to
those who are weaker: those who look lower or baser in your
eyes, those you naturally don’t feel inclined to spend so much
time with.
Everybody wants to hang with the rich, the strong, the beautiful,
that’s just human nature, so that they can benefit from those
qualities of these privileged somehow. But the way to become
truly rich, strong & beautiful yourself - in spirit - is not by
spending time only with those who already have those qualities,
but by stooping down to help & lift up those who are looking up
to you.
So, look not only at what you can get from others, those you look
up to, but look also at what you can give to others, to those who
look up to you, & who need you. Focus on the children, the
sheep, the needy. It’s a time to focus on giving & put the
”receiving” mode on pause, as far as the carnal pleasures go
that you have all put so much emphasis on. Get in ”Spirit” mode,
& then not only in ”receiving” mode, but also in ”giving” mode.
Switch the button to ”out” more often, & not only leave it on ”in”
most of the time, feeding your loved ones only crumbs of the big
meal I’ve been serving you. I want you to truly learn to freely
give, to pour out in streams & not just trickles.
I want you to become like a river. Where does a river flow? It
doesn’t flow to the high places, it flows to the low places. To
those who have not, those who are parched & dry & thirsty &
yearn & thirst for you & what you’ve got to give. So, your focus
has just been a little bit too much on the high regions, which
don’t really need what you’ve got to give that much. Give not to
those you would like to receive from, but to those who are willing
to receive from you.
Ask Me to show you what you can give to them, what you can do
with them, what you can share with them, read with them, talk to
them about. Discover a whole, entire new World & universe of
Giving, which will far surpass that of receiving or giving to those
you expect from in return... Expand your horizon. Look not only
up at the high & mighty, but look down on the low &
downtrodden & discover the excitement of being needed - not by
those you want to need you, but those who need you already.
Discover the thrills & the ecstasy of giving unselfishly to those
from whom you might not expect much in return, but who might
yet surprise you, if you only give them a chance.
In order to find people who look up to you, you must not seek
those who are attractive to you, but those who are unattractive,
humble, lowly, those who apparently have got nothing to give in
return. And they, in turn might be able to give something to those
that you might again look up to... you never know what
unexpected rewards might come to you through unselfishly
giving to & loving someone you might consider unlovely... Focus
on the need of others & the needy, & I will richly repay.
If you treat others with contempt - those you look down on, those
who might not have much to offer you - then those you look up to
will treat you with the same contempt. It’s the spiritual law of
cause & effect, ”whatsoever a man will sow, that shall he also
reap”. So, do your utmost possible to treat people with an equal
amount of respect, courtesy & love, paying attention to the
younger as to the older, the handsome & the ugly, the weak as
much as to the strong, to the poor & needy as much as to the
rich & wealthy, & soon you’ll see that there isn’t even such a vast
difference between them. Those who you expected a lot from
might turn out to be a disappointment, whereas those of whom
you would have expected nothing or little might pleasantly
surprise you. Get ready for some more pleasant surprises as you
willingly give to those who don’t seem to have much to give in
return. Ask Me for the needed amount of unselfishness to do so
& for specific guidance as to what I would like you to give to
each, individually.
380 ____________________________________________________
Doing things for Me means doing things for others, and not
those ”others” one holds in high esteem & looks up to & wants
affection from, but ”the least of these, My brethren...”
Discipleship means laying down your life for each other without
ever really considering it a sacrifice. It means that you will prefer
doing something WITH somebody else, simply because I have
said in My Word that it is better for you to do so.
That’s the direction we’re heading: closer unity, more caring for
others, less independence & privacy, more sharing & fulfilling My
law of Love. Are you willing to get ready for it? Are you willing to
prepare for a change in your lives? Do you trust Me beyond a
shadow of a doubt for it, that I’m not going to let you go under or
are you still harboring doubts in the backs of your mind about
”sect” & ”control”, or are your feelings of independence &
selfishness just fighting against all these impending changes
with all their might? And if they are, are you giving in to them, or
are you determined to keep fighting them until the bitter end, do
or die?
Are you really willing to lay down your lives for My cause?
If you’re going to be a winning team that’s going to succeed in its
mission, we’re going to have to see some commitment. Can we
see some commitment? Are you embracing the changes or
dreading them? Whatever your answer is going to be, let it be
honest, above all. Honesty is fairness, for it will let the others
know where you’re at & thus where they’re at... can they count on
you fully? Are you with them?
381 ____________________________________________________
It feels good to Me to hear you say that you can’t make it on
your own, that you need My help, to see you so desperate... It’s
so different from your usual, cool & apparently indifferent way,
when you don’t seem to be needing My help much for anything.
Can you see why I’m allowing these situations & crises to
happen in your life? Otherwise My presence in your life would be
nearly obsolete, you would barely need Me for anything.
But I want & need you to want & need Me, so, I’m having to allow
these challenges to appear before you, which finally make you
desperate enough to cry out for My help! See, if you were
desperate & humble enough from the beginning & not cruise on
the drift of apparent victory, or ”all things flowing just fine”
without seeking My face constantly, they might not even occur.
But it’s your resting on your laurels, your being confident of,
”Well, now the Lord surely must bless me”, that allows the
Enemy to come in & test you again with the next battle. ”Him that
thinketh he standeth, let him take heed, lest he fall” is probably
one of the key verses in your life, because as soon as you think
you’ve got it made, you’re allowing the Devil to prove to you that
it ain’t so.
And it’s good, because it reminds you that you haven’t got it
made at all, but that you desperately have got to cling to Me for
every moment & every step of the way, if you want to make it at
all.
Naturally, it’s also a test of humility, & it shows how fragile &
fleeting some of these opportunities are, how much more one
should pay attention to what I’ve really got to say & how easily
something is lost that’s at stake. It’s to be taken seriously. Your
life isn’t just a vacation! It’s a life & death battle, and it only takes
an unguarded moment to let the Devil deal you a fatal or serious
blow that you might seriously regret!
Choices & consequences! You chose to say the wrong things &
act the wrong way, to let the wrong spirit take over & rule your
life & being temporarily, & now you‘re reaping the consequences.
If you think that’s drastic, look at the much more drastic results
of Adam & Eve’s choice to listen to the Devil in the Garden & eat
of the forbidden fruit: all mankind is still paying the
consequences for that after 6000 years!
There’ll be no more uncertainty, no ups & downs, if you cling to
Me each step of the way & seek Me to open your eyes to
whatever traps & snares the Enemy might be throwing your way!
Never, ever take it for granted when things are going smoothly,
but only know that it’s most likely the calm before the storm, the
moment of peace before his next attack, & you should stay
desperately stay on guard against them, his subtle surprise
attacks.
382 ____________________________________________________
Welcome to the end of your rope! Your extremity, My
opportunity! It’s not just clichés or Words of comfort, but the
result of My engineering, the precise place & position in the spirit
I need you to be to really start using you. As long as you still feel
too good or too strong to do certain humble tasks for Me, as long
as you still rely on yourself or even your situation, it’s no good.
It’s got to be stirred up, lest it stagnates & becomes no good. As
long as there’s motion in it, I can use it & it generates energy. As
soon as the flow of motion stops, it dies & becomes useless to
Me.
So, let it blow, let it move, even if it’s all tossed about from one
extreme to the other. You’re going to have to be strong & mature
now & show that you can live together & talk together.
383 ____________________________________________________
Stay up here. Not as “high above it all”, but upholding the
standard. Be helpful, loving, humble & understanding, trying to
help them make it. Gently teach them to stand & walk on their
own. It’s like teaching someone to walk without crutches.
Try to keep positive. Actively point them to Me. Show them how
they can find full satisfaction in Me.
Be a shepherd! It’s a little hard when the sheep don’t eagerly
receive the food the shepherd has to offer, but just love them!
384 ____________________________________________________
Those who are rebellious against Me & My nature, My
spiritual ways, will fight & resist you!
They look down upon that which is weak & despised. They
wanna have fun, they say, they wanna show how strong they are
in the flesh... they worship the flesh! ”The Egyptians rule, the
Babylonians have the power, the Persians are our masters, the
Romans, they are mighty! Not those puny prophets the Lord is
sending us! And look at this One Who claims to be the Messiah:
a nobody! We’re not going to cling to Him!...”
And thus they reject the words of My humble servants for today.
But judgment begins with the house of the Lord, & those who
knew their Master’s will & did it not will be beaten with many
stripes. It’s going to be millstone time sooner or later for each
one of those who have taken offense in one of those weak & little
ones who chose to believe Me & My Words & to stand up for
them.
These ”reproaches to the cause of Christ,” ”clouds without rain”
& ”wandering stars,” enemies within, have been around since the
very beginning. Cain & Abel were brothers. There will always be
those brothers who go the way of Cain, the way of the flesh...
These are the enemies I asked you to pray for in My Word, those
personal enemies who just resist the voice of truth coming from
their brethren whom they despise. Pray for them, that My Spirit
might manage to come through to them.
You never know which Saul, no matter how hard he has been
kicking against the prick, might turn into a Paul, because of My
miraculous intervention in answer to prayer.
385 ____________________________________________________
What is born of the flesh is flesh & what is born of the spirit
is spirit. You can’t legislate righteousness, & likewise you can’t
impart the things of the spirit by means of the flesh, routines,
schedules or rigmaroles. It all depends on how alive My Spirit is
in you, how actively you live it yourself.
Flesh can only satisfy flesh, but only spirit can satisfy spirit.
Those who only seek the gratification of the flesh, who don’t
have any spiritual hunger at all, they’re like “Leave the dead ones
lay!” The Devil’s got them already! Let those dead bury their
dead! Why bother about them? You keep going for Me, reaching
for new heights to attain, new spiritual thrills & ecstasies to
experience & make sure you don’t fall into that same trap.
Just cling to Me, My love, knowing you’re in good company. The
really dedicated ones will always be in the minority. Just make
sure you’re one of them!
386 ____________________________________________________
If You’d Only Reach Out & Touch Me! I long for people to
reach out & touch Me, and instead, they look anywhere else for
satisfaction. The first & foremost commandment is to love Me
with all your heart & soul, and whenever you fall short of that
goal, everything else suffers: your love for others is weakened,
your power & strength to forgive, and consequently you become
more critical, seeing their faults, or focusing on them more than
you should & thus wind up discouraged & defeated.
Satisfaction lies only in My arms. I have given you each other to
love & enjoy, but you can only fully do that by loving & enjoying
Me first, and I will tell & show you exactly what you must do in
order to love & enjoy each other, otherwise you’ll only wind up
confused, because instead of putting Me first, you will have
allowed each other to become your distractions from Me. It’s like
children only playing & talking with each other without paying
sufficient attention & giving heed to their parents.
We, your heavenly Parents & all your “aunties & uncles” &
brothers & sisters in the spirit realm are always close, but it all
depends on the clarity of your own view how well you perceive
Our closeness. We are like towering giants, so much higher,
mightier & more powerful than any of your tiny little mundane
affairs, problems, disputes or differences with your brethren,
heartaches, needs and whatever it may be. Ever present, ever
real to protect you and the whole vast landscape of your life,
your realm, from severe storms & floods.
We’re unmovable like mountains, like a hedge of giants to protect
you, and yet you so often wander through this life & through your
days as if you were utterly helpless, forsaken & all alone, only
observed from a far distance by a scarcely interested, barely
caring, obscure God and a few angels & spirit helpers. Isn’t that
how you perceive Us? What a wrong concept & perception, My
love! You have been allowing all the influences, the blinding
decoys, distractions & fumes of the Enemy, the prince of the
power of the air, the originator of the fog & darkness, to distort
your perception of how close, mighty, powerful & ever-present
We really are!
Open your eyes, fully recognize, perceive, and see and
acknowledge We are here, We are always here, and We are
always more than capable to aid you, lift you above any obstacle,
according to your faith!
We are not only here as judging observers, like a jury of critical
jurors, nor are we merely conducting an experiment & watching
you to find out how you will react in a certain situation. But We
are here for you, because We love you, We want to help you and
are just waiting for chances & ways in which We can help you.
No one in the physical world will ever love you in the way that
each one of Us Here do! And nowhere else but in your fellowship
with Us will you receive & find the love necessary to pass on to
others & make them truly happy! We are the secret of your
success! Neglect Us and you’ll fail. Use Us, interact with Us &
communicate with Us, & We’ll reveal unto you the mysteries of
the universe that will make your puny little earthly problems melt
away like ice in the sun. Ignore Us & you’ll be sorry. But it won’t
be Our fault. Don’t you see how silly it is, when We’re here all the
time waiting to help you somehow, waiting for you to reach out to
Us, to acknowledge Us somehow, & yet you keep getting
distracted by this, that or the other & dishonor us by disbelief?

393 ____________________________________________________
Don’t just let Me be an irrelevant Ghost spooking about in the
back of your mind, make Me real in your life, & show it by giving
Me the place I deserve. Give Me the first place in your life by
obeying Me!
The time of choosing the lesser option, the compromise option,
is past! It’s time to choose My highest will! It’s time to put on
your battle gear & prove to the rest of the World that God still has
a few white-hot, revolutionary representatives on this planet, who
are not intimidated by the lies of the System, who are not afraid
to die daily for Me. Show them that there are still people willing to
lay down their lives, their pride, their reputation for Me, and that
you are one of them!
Show Me that you don’t only believe in My Word in theory, in
your head, but that you’re also willing to obey it & apply it to your
physical life, by putting those Words into action. This love, this
message ain’t for keepin’! It’s no good, it doesn’t become real
until you give it away & share it with others! It only becomes real
by giving it away! Just like seeds don’t do any good unless
they’re sown... money will do you no good unless you spend it &
get it out among the people; clouds will no good unless they
burst open & rain down upon the ground.
Don’t withhold that which you’ve got, but be a living example of
My way, giving what you’ve got so that others may benefit from
it! Those who have scattered abroad will enjoy their increase, the
harvest of the seeds they will have sown.
394 ____________________________________________________
It’s sad whenever someone is too busy to show love!
Take time to bathe everything in prayer. Take time to put Me first!
Take time to love Me & your fellowman! Even if people act a bit
dumb sometimes, or ask silly questions, it’s not an excuse to not
show love! You may consider yourself smarter than they are, but
if you haven’t got love, of what use is all the smartness in the
World? The Devil is pretty smart, & he considers himself so
much more clever than everybody else. But, hey, it’s the heart
that counts, and you won’t be judged or rewarded by how smart
you were in this life, but by the love you show. It’s the heart that
matters most!
You should be viewing each person you meet as a potential new
friend for eternity.
You can become Me for them, if you let Me & My Spirit inhabit
you. But you must be free of pride & self & of wanting to show off
your own smartness or abilities! Convey love, it’s the only thing
worth conveying!
Seek to show love above all! If you don’t have enough, ask Me!
Claim the keys of love, mercy & compassion for the sheep out
there, & I will give you My love. Love that is willing to lay down
your pride, your coolness, even your very life for them. Let Me
show My love, My kindness & My mercy through you! There is no
higher purpose you could possibly pursue or fulfill! Make this
your highest goal, to truly be a messenger of My love! All else
doesn’t count!
So often you don’t pass the test of love I bring across your way!
Whenever anyone asks you a dumb or silly or even pointless
question, see it as a test of love! Will you roll your eyes & give a
snappy remark for an answer or not answer at all because you
figure it’s not even worth your breath? Well, that’s arrogance!
Failed! And you’ll have to wait until the next test comes around,
another golden opportunity to show love instead of pride!
Meet each question asked with friendliness, kindness, politeness
& an air of understanding, loving-kindness & patience. Without
love, you might as well forget it! You cannot do the work of the
Spirit without the Spirit! Spread Love!
395 ____________________________________________________
I will use anything to further My cause & have My message
spread.
Remember the parable of the hired workmen: those who agreed
to work in the field didn’t do so in the end, & those who said they
would not, repented and went to work instead. Those who are
supposed to do My work & preach the gospel, spread My
message & be My ambassadors, often fail to do the job, & so I
have to raise up & use others to do the job for Me.
So what if I use those who have been used by the Devil in some
way before? Wasn’t Saul, who later became Paul, a persecutor of
My children, & thus heavily used by the Enemy? And yet,
because of his great sin, there was also a great repentance, and I
used him more effectively for My cause in the end than any of the
other disciples... Don’t be like those who try to put Me in a box or
try to dictate who I’m supposed to use or not, who I am supposed
to save and who not... It’s just self-righteousness. Rather glorify
Me for every miracle I do in the lives of others, especially in the
lives of those who went astray, to bring them back to Me & My
service, often to be used more mightily by Me than ever before!
During the Endtime the Devil will have a lot of power, but yours
will be greater! It already is! Use it!
396 ____________________________________________________
When I sent Jonah to Nineveh with My Word, saying that I
would destroy the city in 40 days, what was more important to
Me, My Word or the lives of the people? Well, by My actions I
proved that the people were more important, even though Jonah
was very wroth with Me & upset.
Even so, I want you to learn that the most important thing is love.
Love for Me, love for the lost, love for the brethren! The only
Bible the World is going to read is the one bound in shoe leather;
the only Word of God they’ll ever read or listen to is the Word of
God they’ll see in your sample; that’s LIVED in your life: the Word
of God they can touch & feel & see. It’s not how much you know,
but what you do with what you know... That’s wisdom.
Knowledge puffeth up, love edifieth.
397 ____________________________________________________
All I’m expecting is that you put yourself into a position of
willingness & commitment to do My will. I’m expecting you to say
”yes,” & really apply yourself to obeying Me. Once you make the
decision that you’re going to obey come what may, I do the rest
for you & help you to put it into practice & into action. You’ve got
to do the “wenting”, I’ll do the leading & all the rest.
I’m helping you to develop initiative & the art of taking positive
action by the circumstances I’ve put you in. Always remember,
though, that one of the greatest actions you can take & things
you can accomplish is action through prayer, the underestimated
weapon!
Keep in tune with Me through prayer, commanding Me what I
should do, & you’ll get so much more accomplished than you
could ever do yourself, even with an army of people serving you.
”It’s gotta be God!” Remember! It’s gotta be Me Who does it all. -
The part that you can’t do!
398 ____________________________________________________
Your initial ideal reaction to every problem you encounter in
life should be to give it to Me & trust! Your spirit helpers & angels
of the cloud of witnesses around you in the spirit world are
waiting for that outcome when you face a difficult situation:
whether you will give it to Me & trust, or try to do it yourself &
wind up in dismay & worry & frustration.
You've got the power of the universe at your disposal, you've just
got to apply it, make it work for you & use it by praying, digging
out My promises & memorizing them & claiming them. If you
were fully aware of their power & effectiveness, you would take
this a lot more serious & spend much more time on becoming
skilled in the art of wielding the power of the keys and some of
the other new weapons: action through prayer, the weapon of
praise, etc.
399 ____________________________________________________
Just like I gave Abraham the fulfillment of his desires & My
promises to him, the heir of My covenant, and yet I asked him to
give this embodiment of all that was important to him back to Me,
even so it is with all of you: everyone Family has the choice
whether they're going to let the things I have given them, their
boy- or girl-friend, their children, wife or husband, become their
new god, the thing they live for, the thing that all their actions
revolve around, or whether they're going to give it back to Me
every day, lay it on the altar & put Me first.
In a very real way, this sacrifice greatly enhanced Abraham's love
for Isaac. It showed to him how blessed he was, every day, after
this, to even have him, because I could have also taken him away
from him. Now that he had shown that he would not even
withhold his very son from Me, now he could love him with a love
that was pure, purged of any selfish intentions or motivations. He
loved him with a love that daily cried out to Me in thankfulness:
"God, I thank Thee for this son whom You have given me, and
whom you have asked from me, and I have not withheld him from
you, and for this son that you have given back to me!" It was a
love that was enhanced & beautified by utter submission to Me.
That's the kind of pure love that is necessary, in order to make it
in this life and death game of faith! A love that says to the one
whom you love: "I love you, but you are not mine, but have only
been given to me by the Lord, and I am willing to give you back
to Him at any time He requests you. He has loved me as much as
to give you to me, and I will love Him back & give you back to
Him any time He asks, and this in return, will again, strengthen
and purify our love for each other..."
Your Isaacs are all the things that get so important to you that
they drag you away from Me. Whatever it is that just seems to
become more important than Me. Are you willing to lay down
your own desires on the altar, in order to serve Me and further My
Kingdom? As long as you are ridden by your own selfish desires,
you're not different from anyone else in the World. And you
aren't, really. You've got the same desires. Abraham had the
same desires to have a family, as any other man in the World.
But the difference between those like Abraham & the rest of the
World is that they can say, "See, I've had the same desires as
you, I'm the same kind of material as you, but I've had to learn to
put the Lord first, before that natural desire of mine. We've got to
learn to give back to God that which He gives us in the first
place, to show that we're thankful to Him, that we acknowledge
that it all comes from Him, and that we learn not to take each
other for granted, for that way we will only hurt each other. But
when we give each other back to the Lord, it enhances our love
for each other, it makes our love grow and grow and grow..."
As long as You love Me first & put Me first & show & prove by
your actions that I'm the most important factor in your life, that
love I have given you for another human being, or a ministry, or a
hobby, or whatever it is, will be in the realm where I can bless it.
But if it becomes larger than that, if anything or anyone occupies
more of your time, your thoughts & your actions, & more of your
heart & emotions than I do, the blessing is gone, eventually, and
something will have to change.
Obedience to the first & great commandment to love Me with all
your hearts is what it's all about, and means, allowing nothing,
no object or person on Earth, to distract you from that most
important task in life.
Only those who will have learned to let go selfish desires & lusts
& to put Me first, before anything else they want or think they've
got to do, will make it in the days to come.
400 ____________________________________________________
Love is spirit. It's like the wind that bloweth where it listeth &
canst not tell whence it cometh or wither it goeth, it is like the
fertile ground that brings forth its fruit in due season, and also
like a raging fire, burning the dross & the chaff, giving warmth to
those who are cold, and, again, like water, which, when poured
out upon the thirsty ground, will refresh & bring life.
I would like to plant My seeds into your fertile ground. I would
like to pour you out like water upon the thirsty ground & send
you like a raging fire to consume all that stands in My way, only
leaving that which remains after a fire storm: the pure, the
unshaken truth & solid foundation of My rock - all else will burn. I
want you to be a soft breeze to those who yearn for Me, and a
raging storm to those who reject Me.
When focusing on the power of the spirit, the carnal things you
are worried about seem rather small by comparison, don't they?
What's flesh, is flesh, & what's spirit is spirit, that's why I have
ordained you to come out from among them that only think in
carnal terms, that only move in the realm of the dead flesh. Come
out & move in the living realm of the spirit! My Spirit will supply
all that you will need.
I have given you promise after promise after promise that I will
care for you. I WILL supply all your needs.
I will supply as you obey. Don't focus on the need, focus on Me,
the End of all your needs!
401 ____________________________________________________
The Devil always tries to find new ways to enslave people, to
make them feel guilty or in some way indebted to him.
There comes a point where the wicked become so corrupt that
you have to decide whether you're going to obey God rather than
man, & seek God's standard, rather than man's crooked
standard. The Devil is a liar and a thief, & so are his followers.
They're trying to rob My servants & enslave them, bind them so
they're not free to serve Me.
Claim My protection against the Devil's bluffs & his "empty
winds."
I want you to be sure & certain of My will in all that you do. I will
defend you from Satan's stooges. They might send their dogs to
nibble at your heels, but if you've got nothing to lose, what can
they take away from you?
If you trust Me for everything you've got, what harm can they
bring upon you? The Devil wants to strip you of your rights &
your freedoms to serve Me, but I want you to rise above all that &
grow above it.
402 ____________________________________________________
What's important is that people recognize that you're not
"sailing under your own flag," but under Mine. They need to see
that you belong to Me, & that I sent you, that you've got a
message, that you've got something to say. You want to expose
the System, destroy their delusion in order to build a firm
foundation of truth, destroy, root up & tear down the old, rotten,
decadent, in order to build the foundation of the new, eternal,
"the one that's going to last". Let them know you're a man with a
message, a clear & bright message. Make it at least clear enough
that those who seek the light will also recognize it in you.
Unless the trumpet gives a clear sound, how can those that hear
it understand the signal? "It's time to wake up!" "It's time to
recognize the fact you're being lied to!" "It's time to turn around
& fight! Choose today where you stand!" "It's time to open up
your eyes & see the light!" "Today, when you hear His voice:
don't harden your hearts!"
403 ____________________________________________________
I'm not expecting more of you than what you are able to give.
Whenever "fate" is handing you a burden that's too big & heavy
for you, or you think it is, instead of committing it to Me & rolling
it all over onto My shoulders, you start moaning & complaining,
& acting as if it's all too much to bear. It's so important to stay in
tune with Me & attuned to My voice, & not give in to any
seemingly overwhelming circumstances, but to keep an attitude
of trust.
You should be thanking Me for every new challenge I bring
across your way. Everything in your life comes from My hand,
and is just another opportunity for you to show & prove trust in
Me!
Whenever something happens, you should seek the purpose &
lesson I have in this for you, since you are responsible for the
spiritual course & state of your "ship", and thus the one I'm
usually dealing with first.
There are many lessons involved in the things I'm allowing to
happen around you, if you ask Me & care enough to find out! The
question you should always ask first of all is: "Lord, what do You
want to show & teach me through this?"
Whenever anything happens that seems to be making your
burden unbearable, get on your knees & ask Me what I want to
show you by that! Ask what I want you to do about it! Don't just
take it as one of fate's "bitter blows" & lie down & let the Enemy's
hoards trample all over you. Consider these situations tests, but
also potential traps from the Enemy. For the minute you stop
seeing Me & My hand in it & you react to it in the flesh, you're
bound to make a bigger mess out of things than they already are.
Take it to Me, bathe it in prayer, know & trust that I have brought
it along for a specific purpose, to bring about a specific lesson in
your life, and it's your job to find out from Me, what exactly it is,
& then to learn it, get the point & get on with it, so we can cover
the next step, or do that which I want you to accomplish!
Your intuition can sometimes trick you, & just saying what you
feel like can have detrimental results.
Then there's the factor of clinging to past hurts. You must forgive
& forget. Especially forget those ridiculous lies of the Devil,
which sow seeds of mistrust in your heart.
Those lessons & experiences & things that you have learned by
experiences in your life or by having tried & proven a certain
truth from the Letters, are living treasures others can benefit
from.
404 ____________________________________________________
I have made you thus in order to change you, transform you.
I sow in imperfection to raise from it a crop & harvest of
perfection. The seeds of perfection already lie in you dormant,
sometimes to be seen in glimpses, when you're inspired, but you
have to go through a certain grind in life, a certain amount of
pain & suffering, in order to really be made clean, pure & white &
all that I wish for you to be in eternity.
You'll see, these light afflictions will be so nothing, compared to
all the wonders you will see & experience, and it will have been
worth it all. Every moment of suffering you experience in life will
only enhance the joy you will feel for eternity. Every difficult
situation only serves to make you shine brighter then. Every little
affliction will bring about greater appreciation, greater ecstasy &
sheer bliss & thankfulness for the perfection of My eternal Realm
& all you will encounter there.
Heaven & My eternal Kingdom will be such an exceedingly joyful
place, especially because of the contrast it will be to all that
you're experiencing now. It's like the light compared to the
darkness. But the darkness has its purpose, My love, just trust
Me.
Even so, the battles you're experiencing will also enhance your
love, your personality, your character, your understanding &
ability to deal & interact with your fellowman. Just like I learned a
lot from My interactions with people during My time on Earth,
became a lot more understanding of their plight, much more
patient & merciful, so will all this serve to teach you greater love.
I want you to give everyone the benefit of the doubt. One of the
most loving services you can render to people is to listen to
them. Listen to them prayerfully, so that if there's any dirt &
mental pollution they're heaping on you from the bottom of their
hurting hearts or the dark corners of their confused minds, you
can bathe it in prayer & be cleansed from it right away, while they
speak, and it won't get you upset. If they want you to look at
them while they speak, just pray with your eyes open.
Consider this loving interaction with each other, this loving
service of hearing one another out & have them share what's on
their heart part of your loving service to Me, part of your labors of
love, which will not be done in vain, nor remain unrewarded.
Every word that is spoken between you is being recorded, so
make sure they are loving, edifying & encouraging words, lest
you will have to be ashamed of them one day.
Remember Me, who endured worse contradictions from sinners
than you have.
Don't resist the purging. How do you think you grow? By
everything being just the way you like it? By never having to face
any major confrontations? By never having to fight & stand up
for your rights?
405 ____________________________________________________
It's easy to fall into a state of truce with the Enemy. It all
sounds so reasonable. "Why should we rock the boat? Why
should we challenge & aggravate the Enemy unnecessarily? Why
risk any further problems?"
The problem is, if you don't go out to attack the Enemy on his
territory, he will come & attack you on yours, and usually has an
easy time invading your grounds, because he already knows
you're not much of a fighter in the first place. After all, otherwise,
you'd be out on his grounds, trying to snatch souls out of his
clutches!
The Enemy is fighting like mad to keep you busy with
relationship problems & other affairs of the physical realm, so
busy that there isn't much time to dedicate to the spiritual
warfare anymore. You just barely manage to defend yourselves,
& thus won't inflict any harm on the Devil's kingdom & he's
happy & satisfied. "Mission accomplished!"
The Enemy has lured & enticed so many, lulled them to sleep
with his poisonous gas into a compromising state of peaceful
coexistence with him, that they really don't present much of a
challenge to the System. He knows he has practically won the
war by peace! "He shall destroy many by peace..."
None of My prophets was ever really enthusiastic & thrilled about
giving My message to the people. Moses, Jeremiah, Jonah, they
all had to be persuaded to do what I wanted. To become an
undesirable, one of those outrageous religious fanatics that
spread those controversial truths, messages of doom...
extremely unpopular.
But what can I say? "Hold fast that which thou hast lest any man
take thy crown!" Will you allow the Devil to keep mocking Me &
sneering into My face? Or will you be among those to stand up &
show him Who's greater? Are you willing to be made by Me, an
influence on Satan's people, greater than his influence has ever
been on My people? You CAN be, just by proclaiming the truth,
no matter what the cost! It WILL have an influence on them, you
can bet! Whether they will receive it or not, it's going to be the
most influential & decisive factor in their entire lives! Things will
go either uphill or downhill for them from then on. By your
obedience, you can accelerate the process, you can stop any
further delay of My judgements, which will bring about greater
repentance, greater results & greater harvest! The tools are now
there with which to reap the harvest! What's still missing is the
workers to sow the seeds & to gather in the harvest. You scatter
the seeds, I'll bring in the workers and the results! Do what you
can & I will do what you can't!
406 ____________________________________________________
Just like one has to realize first that he's a sinner in order to
want Salvation, so one has to realize he's bound in order to want
to be set free.
Pray for those captives who are in the clutches of the Enemy,
trapped in the tentacles of Bacchus, distracted by the spirits of
seduction, enticed & deceived by Pan, discouraged & defeated
by Aptheon, Arakan & the demons of depression, hindered by
Obstacon, silenced by the grip of Lethargy or captive to yet other
tricks & devices of the Enemy & his hoards.
Behold what a great cloud of helpers I have given you: Styrian,
Arcothon, Illuminus, Lucerne, Yokum, the S.O.S., the Activation
Angels, Tola & Tor, & all power in Heaven through the keys of the
Kingdom. Now it's the time to shake off the weights that held you
down, & really put the weapons to use I have given you! Time to
sound the battle cry! No longer will we defend our ranks
passively from the Enemy's attacks, hoping we will survive them
the best we can, with the least amount of casualties & wounded
possible, but we will go on the attack & make the Enemy tremble!
I have been raising a new army, a new generation of fighters out
of the old. The Enemy has been mocking Me, saying about them,
"Just give them to me for a while, let me tempt them with my
distractions, my lures & the enticements of the world, and you'll
see, they'll forget You, they'll all turn their backs on you! Let me
twist their minds with worldly thoughts & doubts, and see what a
'mighty army' You will have left when I'm through with them.
You'll see, they won't care about You!"
But I have had faith in you, and though many have left indeed,
whose hearts weren't fully with Me, I believe in you! And I'm self, let Me pour them on the ground & re-make you into
calling you all back to life this day, as it were from the land of the something better; not a shining, glorious ornament, but a useful

things of everyday life. Often people walk through life completely
dissatisfied because they're constantly expecting something
greater, something better to happen to them, all the while
completely neglecting & despising what they’ve got.
But him that I can trust in that which is least, I will also trust with
greater things, but those who are not faithful in the little things,
often first have to learn to appreciate what they've got, which
they sometimes only learn by losing all they've had & didn't
appreciate...
If you don't appreciate what I've given you, you might lose it any
time. The imperfections are part of the plan to help you one day
really appreciate My perfection.
Heaven is going to be your reward for having been faithful with
the little, imperfect things of Earth: The more imperfect your
conditions on Earth, the greater will your joy be in Heaven.
That's why the lame man who was healed by My power lept &
jumped for joy. For you, who have been able to walk all your
lives, it is nothing special, but for one who has been lame from
birth or for a long time to suddenly be healed & be able to walk &
run... that's joy unspeakable. You're having to go through life
with all your little achings so that when you will come to Me, you
will find perfect joy in the contrast. You will find I am so much
better than anything else you've ever tasted in this world.
That's why the Devil is trying to come up with more & more
perfect counterfeits & substitutes & distractions all the time:
more & more perfect entertainment, shows, computer games,
movies, System music & sounds, all available by remote control,
so you don't even have to move or do anything to get instant
satisfaction; more & more perfect tasting food with artificial
flavors, made to even "top" My natural flavors I have put in foods
naturally, more & more perfect drugs & narcotics... He's trying to
literally spoil people stupid so they won't ever want to get off of
their fannies to do anything else but indulge in his "perfections".
After all, who needs anything else, if you can have all these
"perfect" pleasures & entertainments? Who wants to deal with
real people, when the faces & bodies on TV are so much more
"perfect"? Who wants to deal with real life when the thrills &
kicks he can give you are so much nicer, easier, better? Well,
there's only one thing about it all & that's that it isn't real. It's all
fake & phony, & you're enjoying it all on borrowed time & money,
while in reality he's cheating you out of your lives, your time,
your energy and your touch with reality.
For a lot of people, reality is the worst thing to cope with. They
stuff their worlds & lives with the Devil's substitutes, be they
money, material possessions or his entertainment or drugs,
foods, games, sex, or their jobs, all of which are often excellent
counterfeits of My reality. He's even come up with his very own
counterfeit love. But in the end, none of that will ever truly
satisfy, & when all this artificial "perfection" will have left the
World high & dry, he will come up with his ultimate counterfeit:
his plastic one-World religion, the "perfect" System, without any
more evil, without any more money, without anymore crime...
"Welcome to Utopia!"
So, My advice for you today is: don't try to get away from reality!
It may not be perfect, but it's the best thing that could happen to
you! It will strengthen & mold your character, make you grow into
a real man, one who will not only seek his own selfish
satisfaction, but one who is concerned about others & their
welfare as well. Those who are trying to escape from reality by
numbing themselves & trying to alter & adjust it artificially to
their liking are only cheating themselves out of the most valuable
things this life has to offer.
You, not they, are living on the true ground of reality. I am the
good & true & firm foundation, everything else is either sinking
sand or one of the Devil's artificial clouds that he built in people's
minds by his mental conditioning them with false doctrines &
downright lies & delusion.
So, don't expect too much from yourselves or out of every day of
your life. Even if you're not making headlines as a flaming
evangelist, winning dozens of souls every day, if you just
manage to be real everyday, to walk humbly on the ground of My
reality, staying faithful in the little, mundane things of life &
keeping the heavenly vision while doing so, focusing on Me & My
reality without being deceived by any of the Devil's soap operas,
then in My eyes that's already a lot, & you won't even have to tell
people all that much about you. They will sense it. They will feel
it. The very air about you will be different. There will be "strange"
vibes accompanying you wherever you go, of a world that smells
& tastes so weird to them: the smell & taste of the real world.
412 ____________________________________________________
I'm making out of you a spiritual man & it just takes time, &
lots & lots & lots of My heavenly water & Spirit. Just like it takes a
lot of blood to transfuse into a man whose blood was poisoned &
has to be renewed, so it takes a lot of spirit to transform a fleshly,
carnal man into one who is spiritual & is concerned with the
things from above, not the things of Earth.
For the things of Earth are not edifying, but more often than not a
distraction & hindrance from learning the more important &
eternal values of the spirit. The worries & cares of life don't
enhance unity, for instance. They make you encapsulate yourself
in your own little world that doesn't grant others permission to
enter so easily. You become irritated & easily aggravated,
whereas, once you have delved into My spiritual world of trust &
where Eternity reigns & everything that lives & breathes knows
beyond a shadow of a doubt that I'm in perfect control of
everything, then you can convey that same peace to others as
well.
Calamities may be all around, but you won't be heard to fret.
People will wonder, "How can they be so calm while the whole
world is tumbling around their ears?" And then you can let them
know that it is so because you have been with Me. It's My peace
that makes you beautiful.
It's important for you to get a hold of that peace first thing
everyday. The peace of knowing that I'm in control of your
circumstances, because you have committed them into My care.
The peace of knowing that everything's going to be alright,
because you just had a chat with the Creator of everything & He
told you so & He confirmed to you that He still loves you & will
take care of you.
See what riches I have in store for you. Great & mighty things
which thou knowest not. Continue to be a source of strength,
love & encouragement.
Once you start getting My spiritual angle of looking at things,
even the things of Earth that surround you, which otherwise can
be a nuisance & a hindrance, all of a sudden start making sense.
Love - My real & true love - is what causes everything to make
perfect sense, even the smallest & most mundane of things...
Love is the magic that converts ashes & dung into beauteous
new life.
413 ____________________________________________________
Fight to stay in the Spirit everyday.
You still don't ask Me when an inspiration hits your head,
whether it's really of Me. The thought entered your mind & you
just figured that that's what you were supposed to do, without
checking with Me about it.
I don't want you to do things to impress Me or anybody else, or
to prove what a great guy you are. But I want you to rather fight
to love Me & others.
If your motives aren't right, then the spirit isn't right, either, and if
a project doesn't carry My Spirit, then it's just dead works.

John the Baptist was a voice of one crying in the wilderness,
"Make straight paths for the Lord", in other words, "Prepare for
the Lord's coming!" Which is, in essence, what I also want you to
do. You're My voices in the wilderness, telling the people to
prepare for My 2nd coming.
The message I want you to give people is to "prepare", & to let
them know that you're willing and able to help them to do so.
"Strengthen the things that remain" is the message that would
appropriately describe what I want you to convey to the world,
and how can you convey that successfully & effectively, unless
you first live it yourselves? The things that remain are the things
of the spirit, the eternal things. Things like physical relationships,
marriages, families, etc., have all proven to be more fragile &
subject to time than ever before. The reason for this is, that the
lasting values that used to strengthen relationships before, have
been removed from them, and those were precisely the spiritual
ingredients I want you to help people to re-discover.
People don't even know anymore how to find the right partners
because they are so conditioned by the System to look for
superficial qualities in partners, & they're making physical things
the most important requirements, instead of ensuring first of all
that the spiritual foundation is there, which includes being the
right kind of partner, not just finding the right one. This requires
humility, a word that has virtually lost all meaning & use in the
World today. Most western cultures despise humility as a
weakness. The Devil has conditioned people to such an extent,
puffed up their egos & blown up their pride & self-will thus, that
it's a mental habit very hard to kick to be selfish, seek your own
ends & put yourself in the first place. A weakness like that can
take years to be fully exposed & for the victim to even become
fully aware of it.
Consider it a great blessing & step forward that you have gotten
to know your weaknesses better, are more aware of them & will
thus know better what you need to fight & be on guard against,
which is a great advantage you have before many who have not
even yet begun to fathom that there might be anything wrong
with them, who keep inhaling the Devil's deceitful gas of pride &
ego-inflation.
Just like in an inflated economy, the day of reckoning will tell
whether an inflated ego really has got what it takes when met
with the sharp pin of reality. That's why I want you to walk on the
ground of My humble reality, not float around on some cloud of
self-deceit, like so many others, so that you can tell them, "Come
on down, walk on the ground with Jesus!"
The spirit is the true reality. The flesh is under the curse & thus
under the heavy influence of the Devil, the father of lies, so, you
can't really rely on the flesh. If you want truth, seek the spirit. If
you want values that last, seek the spirit. If you want excitement
& true satisfaction that far exceeds any thrill of the flesh, seek
the spirit. If you would only value the spirit as you should, you
would find much greater satisfaction there than in anything the
World, the flesh or the Enemy have to offer.
Do you think the Enemy just settles for the flesh? His pipes, bells
& drums are spirit, too! They are the spirit of rebellion against
Me. Their spiritual influences usually have the effect on people
that they indulge in the flesh even more. They fall prey to all
kinds of vices, perverted sexual practices, and worst of all, it
strengthens their egos & pride, alienating them ever more from
Me & causing them to distance themselves from Me more &
more. In reality, the Devil is just trying to win them over to his
camp, so that they'll be ready & willing vessels for him & his
demons when the time comes.
If you think about what challenges are still up ahead for you,
don't you think it's time to mature, sober up & put your own
selfish desires on the backburner?
Now it's time to break those habits, to loosen those bounds of
feeling all goody-goody about yourself in the flesh. You can feel
much better in Me! And you'll have so much more to give to
others, in return!
428 ____________________________________________________
Sometimes it's easy to focus on the negative, especially
during times of battle. I mean, what's so cheerful about a battle
field? There's blood & guts all around you, pain & death, hellish
noises of weapons & bullets flying around your ears, your
wounded comrades... Not much positive to look at, except by the
miracle of faith, and with the eyes of faith. Claim the keys of faith!
Claim the keys of faith to see what no one else can see; to see
the victory in the midst of battle, to see the light in the midst of
darkness, to see the joy, the reward and the glory of triumph in
the midst of gross pain & suffering & fighting all around you!
It's impossible in the natural, it's impossible to do by yourself,
but with Me beside you and the keys in your hands, nothing shall
be impossible! I have given you the keys! The keys will pierce
like torches right through the thick darkness the Enemy would
like to envelop you in, their light is just going to melt the
darkness away! Claim the keys of hope that they may bring a
fresh breath to your aching, weary & tired heart, to refresh you &
give you new joy and courage and vision for the battle.
Study more about the use of the keys of the Kingdom, for the
reason some of you are still battling & not gaining ground as you
should is because you have not yet spent the necessary amount
of time to learn to wield them properly in the Enemy's face, which
is why he's attacking you so ferociously right now, because he
knows it's going to be his last chance. Once you will have
learned how to use them properly, he knows he's done for & he
won't stand a chance against you!
Thus, these attacks are also serving Me, because they drive
home to you the importance of learning to battle properly. You
know that this is not just a vacation but a war; that all that talk
about battle is not just an allegory or a fairy tale, but hard core
reality! See it like this, from this positive angle: without all these
battles, you might still doubt whether all this is really the truth,
but the battles just prove that what I am saying in My Word is
true. It's the same as the fact that the Family has been
persecuted more than any other Christian group in the past three
decades, this proved to you that they are really My chosen ones,
because they fulfilled My Word, for so have they persecuted the
prophets which were before them.
The Devil hates you just like he hates Me & he will persecute &
attack you just like he tempted & tried & finally tried to kill Me, &
eventually was granted the permission to do so in order to fulfill
My destiny. But you've got nothing to fear about death, just like I
had nothing to fear, because I knew I was going to rise again. The
Devil was granted permission to tempt Me with fear & tribulation
shortly before I was being taken captive, just so that I would
really be tempted in all things like you are, & I would go through
all the human despair & agony that you know.
Was I ever jealous or sensitive, you wonder? Or prone to
negative thinking? Yes, I was tempted by them all, but the Father
gave Me the power to overcome them. Even so, He can and will
give you the power to overcome them, it just all depends on how
much you avail yourselves of that power. With the power of the
keys, you have available now for yourselves that same power
that I had, and that My disciples had, to do miracles & to
overcome the Devil & all his temptations, fears, doubts, agonies
& devices he tries to trick you with, and as the days will grow
ever darker, that light of the truth of the keys will also ever shine
brighter, for where sin doeth abound, there grace doeth much
more abound.
Wield the keys! Wave them high up, over your heads, let the
Enemy know that you're not going to be easy prey! Be prepared
to battle. Be on guard constantly! There's a battle going on that
will determine your future. Don't let the Enemy out of your eyes
for an instant, always be aware that his next attack might be
coming at any moment, and don't just fend off his attacks on
you, but take the initiative & go on the attack!
I'm so desperately in need of fighters, warriors, soldiers, people
who are not drifting around in complacency, but are fully aware
of the fight & who take it seriously & who take the time to study &
learn how to fight, so that they might become skilled in the
techniques of war! There's nothing that pleases Me more than a
positive declaration of your faith that you are determined to fight
this war and not only are you going to fight it, but you're also
going to win it.
Even though you're often closer to defeat than victory, at least
you're fighting, and you're gaining more & more experience in
your fighting, you're not just silently tolerating the Enemy in
some corner of your lives, but you're serious about having him
exposed & expelled & cast out of your midst, overcome,
defeated, finished, exterminated! All those who hate the Enemy
are specially loved by Me, because they have made it clear they
are standing on My side & are not going to give in to
compromise. You have experienced compromise & know its
bitter taste, which is a great advantage, for now you recognize it
and are allergic to it! That's an invaluable lesson in itself! To
refuse compromise. Because nothing will drive My army closer
to defeat than compromise with the Enemy.
It's so chicken, so cowardly, because you're actually giving in to
a weaker Enemy, who knows he would have been defeated by
you if you would have just kept fighting, but he lured you into a
peaceful coexistence with him by offering you nice gifts: "Why
wrack yourselves, fighting for this God of yours Who only gives
you the bare necessities, when I can supply you with a sheer
endless amount of my glittering gimmicks that provide any kick
you can possibly imagine?" (Except, of course, real happiness &
genuine fulfillment, because that just isn't found in compromise
& settling for peace with the Devil, but he won't tell you that!)
When you're going through hell, remember that I'm right there
with you, My angels are right by your side, and you've got the
power of the keys, the greatest force in the universe, so, it's
impossible for you not to win! Don't get anxious or uptight, much
less afraid, for even if you go down to the depths of hell, I'm right
there with you!
"Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord!" Blessed is
he that goeth forth in the name of the Lord! Blessed is he that
goeth forth in the name of the power of the keys! Go forth in My
name & nothing shall be able to withstand thee! Go forth! March!
Attack! In the might & power of the Spirit which conquers all. For
all that is, comes from the Spirit & the Spirit reigns over all. For
God is a Spirit and they that worship Him must seek to worship
Him in spirit and in truth! Become one with My Spirit and My truth
everyday! You must touch base & ground with My Spirit & in
truth. Go forth in spirit & in truth! You've got to advance, you
cannot lay back & let the Enemy gain any more territory! Now is
the time to hit him back, to strike back, to counterattack & force
him to withdraw! First of all you've got to force him to retreat
completely from your own life, and then the light can take over in
your life to such an extent that it will drive away those who would
cling to you falsely, for they won't be able to stand it. Either
they'll yield to it & will meld with it & seek to become one with it
& absorb it also, or they will resist it & clash with you. I want you
to become a rock in their midst. - A rock of refuge for those who
seek to worship in spirit and in truth, and a rock of offense to
those who will resist it & have ulterior motives.
Only the spirit is eternal, the flesh is destined to decay.
You & I must become one, and you can only become one with Me
by letting Me implant My seeds in you. My Words are My flesh &
My blood, without which you have no part in Me. You have to
consume Me to become a part of Me. Eat My flesh, drink My
blood, for I am the very Word of God, by which the worlds were
created, that ye may become part of My eternal power & glory!
Consume Me, drink Me, eat Me, absorb Me, receive Me! My Words
didn't make sense to those who were blind & deaf to the spirit...
Therefore, be not like them, but let your eyes & ears be opened &
be ye healed of your blindness & deafness to the things of the
spirit! Be healed & be free! Whom the Son hath made free, the
same shall be free indeed! I have made you free from your sins,
but it always takes a little while until people grasp the point &
absorb Me to the point where they shall be free indeed from the
bounds of the flesh.
"Come, taste & see that I am good!" "I am the bread of life.
Whoever will eat of this bread will never be hungry again!" In
order for your spirit to grow, you've got to take the consumption
of Me & My Word as seriously as you take the nourishment of
your bodies! But too many are putting the physical above the
spiritual! You think reading My Word is nice, but you don't
consider it as important as feeding your body.
Your spirits start to yearn & groan & become sick when you don't
feed on My Word. All creation groaneth to be delivered. They're
all starving & waiting to be finally fed the true bread. So many
having been fed the counterfeit of the Enemy, his false truths, his
lies, leading their souls & spirits to corruption. Yet, so many of
My children do not even see this. They try to concoct for
themselves their own personal mixture of truths & half-truths
between what My prophets say and those doctrines of the World
that appease them the most, similar to the way the children of
Egypt would occasionally worship the gods & idols of the
heathen around them, whenever it seemed to them like I was too
busy to care for them.
In reality, they were too busy caring for themselves to even care
about Me. And that has been the crux of the matter all throughout
history. Man is usually too busy caring for himself to even care
about Me, and thus he thinks I'm not communicating with him,
because I must not be interested in him or that I don't care about
him. But he won't care enough about Me, he doesn't seek Me,
that's the problem. Nobody's interested in their Creator, nor in
finding out what He's got to say, they're all too enwrapped &
busy with creation, trying to keep it functioning. They need to get
back to their Maker & refer to the Manual or call the service
hotline, but it won't even occur to them. So, they all keep trying
to fix the damage themselves, just like Joe in the story, who was
working in the airplane factory & didn't call the Boss when
something went wrong & wrecked the machine... That's a typical
picture & illustration of mankind...
You don't just eat every once in a while. Likewise, you shouldn't
just hear from Me every once in a while, & be assured, there's no
end to this heavenly bread! You will also find that hearing from
Me personally will enhance your reception of the Word I have
given through My prophets & king & queen. It will become even
more clear, more to the point, more applicable & appropriate to
your personal, immediate situation. Even the old Words of David
come to life & make more sense to you than ever before, or you
discover new secrets about old Bible verses you may have read
hundreds of times. So, keep consuming Me, keep eating Me,
drinking Me in & becoming filled with Me. It is My great pleasure,
and it will only do you good! "The entrance of My Word giveth
light", and life and love, and strength, and faith and all that you
need in order to go through the battles of this life successfully,
so, don't neglect it, but give it first place, okay? ILY & I love to fill
you up, My gorgeous Bride!
429 ____________________________________________________
If people would only let My Word be the discerner of the
thoughts & intents of their hearts... (Heb.4:12) But then, they
don't really believe My Word in the first place, where it says,
(Jer.17:9): "The heart is deceitful above all things, and
desperately wicked: who can know it?" There comes a point
when the only love that seems to be successful and able to do
the subject justice in getting rid of the sin, is the love manifested
in chastisement.
There are many who don't really let the light of My Word shine
deep down into the dark corners of their hearts. So few desire
truth in the inward parts. What they don't realize is that one of the
greatest services of love I can give them is to open their eyes to
look at their sinful state openly & honestly & truthfully, because,
it's one of the purposes in life, to recognize how far you are from
the state you're supposed to be, the heavenly or perfect state.
Only in recognizing how far away you are from it, can you realize
the dire need you have of Me to change you, to renew you, to
save you. The renewal & regeneration of the Holy Ghost...
I am the love of your life.

Him. Just let go of those worries & trust in Him! It's easier than
you think! You're doing better than you think!
So you think you're a lousy fighter, & you're having a hard time
with this option that seems to be His highest will for you. You're
feeling like Abraham, going up the mountain to sacrifice Isaac.
But in reality, He hasn't asked anything as grave of you, and even
if so, just trust Him, that as you obey Him, He will not suffer you
to be tempted above that which you are able, but will with the
temptation also make a way to escape. Just trust & don't seek to
be rescued prematurely! God didn't tell Abraham at the foot of
that mountain, "No, it's okay now, I can already see that you trust
Me, you can turn around now & go home." No, he had to let him
go through the whole rigmarole of dragging him up there,
building an altar & gathering the fire wood, pulling out his knife &
prove that he was really going to go through with it, then He said
"stop!" & provided a ram instead!
There's no fooling around with God. He might ask anything crazy
of you, & then you'd better have the faith to trust Him for it & go
through with it all the way until He says "stop", or you're not
going to receive the blessing & the approval, "Now I know for
certain that you love Me!"
Just have faith, even as you climb up your personal Mount
Moriah, knowing that the Lord loves you & feels with you & He's
with you every step of the way. He knows how it feels, & it hurts
Him, too, having to test you like that, but He knows also that it's
expedient for you, in order to bring about the results that He
desires: the amount of faith & yieldedness & dedication &
obedience that you need in order to really bring forth much fruit
for Him, which will also make you happier for Him in His service.
"Don't carry the World upon your shoulders!" Just shrug your
shoulders & say, "I don't know. But He does. I can't do it, but He
can. I'm a failure, but He's the greatest of all winners &
conquerors, & He is mine & I am His. I am weak, but He is strong.
I may be nothing, but He is everything & all that matters!"
Because you – His children - are all that matters to Him, you
know?
You don't want to fail the World, you want to fulfill your mission
to the World, you want to make sure you're being heard & seen
by the World, that you're faithful in conveying your message. But
God has to plan & prepare His "explosions" thoroughly,
sometimes. When Abraham was around, he and his clan were
practically all God had to work with. And he spent a lot of time,
just training & teaching him, so that he could pass on a legacy
and a heritage of unprecedented faith. Faith enough to build a
whole new nation on. One little promise of God, that God waited
so long to fulfill until it seemed so impossible that it required a
miracle. When you come to the end of yourself & think you're no
good for anything anymore, then God has a chance to show His
greatness & strength through you.
Even so, God is concentrating & focusing on you, His children,
His Family right now. There are others, feverishly working at
spreading the message of Salvation, doing CTP work & even
spreading messages of warning. But there is only one Family.
And God has a special plan & purpose for you, His real, central
core of His true Family, because the legacy & heritage of the
Family is going to be the foundation His new World is going to be
built on in the Millennium. Just like Abraham's seed was going to
be as the stars & the sand, so are going to be the fruit of the
Family. There is going to be no end to the children of David. This
little, bedraggled band, only a handful, compared to the billions,
just like Abraham & his family, are going to be the forefathers of
generations & generations to come, in the spirit.
434 ____________________________________________________
"I the Lord, will be their God, & My servant David a prince
among them" (Ez.34:24). You must look into the future. When
Abraham was alive on Earth, not many folks knew about him,
comparatively speaking. He had his encounter with the king of
Egypt & with maybe a few hundred or thousand others, but none
of them were aware of who he was going to be. Again, what I
made him, I brought about through a tiny little baby. Something
anyone can do: make love & have a baby. But it was something
special I did, just like the Father did the most special thing in all
history by sending down a baby...
Sometimes the whole impact that tiny little baby had, that
seemingly insignificant life of faith, is only revealed years,
decades, or even centuries later, as is so often the case with
people who are considered saints in the World: they're hardly
ever considered saints during their life-time. Even so, Dad, and
you, his Family, are despised right now by the majority of the
World, but just a little peek into the future will reveal a glorious
destiny. But you've got to trust Me that I'm going to bring all that
about. It's not how much you do or you try to do, it's how much
you believe. It's not how much you accomplish or you think you
must, it's in how much you will trust!
435 ____________________________________________________
I'm trying to get you to seek first My Kingdom instead of
being too preoccupied with the supply of your needs. I simply
want you to put your trust in Me & know that all these things
shall be added unto you, as I have promised, if you put Me & My
Kingdom first.
I would like you to love Me first. That's the top commandment.
And as long as I still see & feel that there are other things more
important to you, I'll have to keep working on that.
Rejoice that I'm having you grow & don't keep you always
revolving around the same point.

Find in Me true abundance when you're lacking, and the
ability to rise above your circumstances.
I don't want you to be swayed by them, nor have them dictate

your circumstances by your trust & by your prayers. You
shouldn't only stop worrying, but you should rejoice & praise Me
at every turn & encounter with a new challenge, a vacuum for Me
to fill, a chance for Me to prove to you My power of supply, My
capability, My endless, unlimited, miracle-working power, My
benevolence toward you & My strength on your behalf.
Be bulwarks of hope for those around you. Even those who may
not believe right now in time of need will remember that you had
faith that exceeded the range of their hopelessness, the range of
the physical circumstances, faith that believes that all things will
be well because I'm in control.
I want you to draw on My power, to really suck & gain strength
from Me. My energy & never-ending power is there for you.
You've got the vacuum, & I've got the wherewith to fill it. Just use
the power! It is there! Come, & draw strength from Me, as from a
well that never runs dry. Have I not promised that he who would
drink of the water I give, it would become a well of living water in
them that would cause them to never be thirsty again? Why do
you still hunger & thirst, why do you still lack, when I could fill all
your needs more than abundantly? Just come & get it! If you
would only spend the time with Me to get it... You think you need
to spend time in order to fill your other needs, & you spend time
on doing this & doing that, but if you would spend the time
directly with Me, I would take care of so many things. The under-
used weapon of prayer! Avail yourself of it. Don't neglect it! I
could do & take care of so many things already before you can
even start worrying about them, if you let Me!

I can't stress enough just how important praise and keeping
a praiseful attitude is! It's the key that turns darkness into day, in
spite of adversities, trials, battles, personal problems, etc.
Praising faith just laughs in the face of all these circumstances &
says, "So, what?! My God is greater than all that, and He can
cause me to rise above all this in the blink of an eye, if He
chooses to. But if not, I will still not surrender to the voices of
negativity, but I will still know that He knows best and only allows
what is best for me, and I will keep praising Him for that!"
So, if you would truly have Me turn on the light in your life in all
its power, learn the skills of praise! Seek wisdom in learning how
to praise Me, for there is much more hidden in that treasure than
you can even begin to fathom right now. Your pride fights it.
Because Pride knows he's going to be defeated by it!
Praise is utter humility & surrender to Me, not seeking any glory
for the flesh or for yourself, but only seeking Mine. And that is a
factor that just eradicates a lot of the darkness that's prevalent in
the World right now, where everybody just basically seeks their
own glory, and to glorify themselves, to pride themselves in their
accomplishments & pat themselves on the back, or proving their
worth & showing off with the status they have achieved to reach
by themselves, through their own hands or by means of fleshly
heritage in the things they acquire, their material possessions,
their wealth, their cars, houses & other status symbols. Whereas
the status symbols of the Spirit World are the exact opposite:
"the less there is of you, the more the light shines through" is the
slogan in the spirit, and the less you exalt yourself & seek your
own glory, and the more you seek to glorify God, and just fill the
need by whatever humble and invisible action, that is what
makes you shine with greater brilliance & glory.
If you seek to do that which matters & bears importance
according to the rules and standards of Heaven, you would be
wise to seek things that glorify Me, to sing and write songs that
glorify Me, songs that express your gratefulness and love to Me!
Ask Me for awesome melodies carrying Words of praise!
Find out what a wonder-working weapon praise can be!
Remember, loving Me is the greatest commandment, and what
better way is there to express your love for Me - besides your
obedience to Me - than by praising Me, in word and song & deed?
482 ____________________________________________________
A true fighter will always miss the fight during a period of
truce or peace with the enemy...
Some are born to live a life of compromise or settling for
whatever little plastic peace the Devil will toss at them. But My
true sheep and My true children will never be satisfied with
anything less than My truth, and that which I feed them. It's
simply because they know that this life isn't everything there is.
There is something more, and compared to that, this life is a
mere shadow.
It's natural to want the bliss and the joys and the ecstasy of
what's to come, already in this life, and I have granted you the
possibility to enjoy some of it, and to get a little foretaste of
those heavenly joys & ecstasies. The only problem is that the
Devil won't just idly stand by, watching people enjoying My
heavenly freedom without intervening & trying to spoil the fun
with his lies, just as he did in the very beginning.
That's simply the rein I have given him, to test My children & let
them and Me and the whole World find out whether they're also
willing to pay the price for it. Whether they'll hold on to the
blessing even if it means resisting the Enemy's lies &
temptations & going to war for the righteous cause.
You'll see that as time goes by and you keep on fighting, that
you'll actually become stronger, and it eventually will get easier.
It will not always stay this hard!
No crown without a cross, no victory without a battle, no triumph
without a trial... Look at the reward! Look at the desperation and
the closeness to Me you gained through fighting! Your whole life
is changing. The adversity is making you more profound, it
opens your eyes to where you can see through the Devil's lies.
Isn't it worth it?
Aren't these battles precisely what's making you what you are
destined to be?
Real fighters keep their eyes on the reward and the glorious
crown ahead, not on the temporary struggle, pain and fight! The
victory is all that matters! That total closeness to Me I have
promised to My overcomers! That secret access to My very heart.
Let those who will settle for less, settle for less, but the true
overcomers would rather die than give up.
"Surrender? Hell no! We haven't even yet begun to fight!"
483 ____________________________________________________
Life is the best school, and I am its Teacher. The problem is
that too few students pay any attention to Me, and the Devil has
lured them all away from Me and is keeping them all too busy
learning & studying about his twistings of the truth, so that they
don't even have time anymore to learn from life itself. Usually, as
they grow older, there will be experiences that teach them.
Experiences that will often leave them disappointed about the
philosophies they were brought up with, and so they wind up
disappointed and confused.
You have a light to shine onto their path, if you only will. You
have love to shower them with. "Things are gonna be much
better, if you only will..." Oh, how I wish for you to be so in tune
with Me that you would shower the people continually with My
love, be a radiator of My love & energy for them, a constant light
to shine in the darkness! If you will wholeheartedly make that
your goal and ambition, it can happen, you know? It is possible!
Do you want to? Do you want to be a shining light of My love to
the people? Oh, how I wish you would! How I wish you would
make this your principal endeavor. The Devil fights it so much,
because he knows that that's the most important part of your
testimony and your witness. As Dad said, "You can't really say
you've delivered your soul, unless you delivered the love first!"
Love is what you were born to. People almost expect it of you!
They know & sense that something is wrong when you put on
your proud, cool, & defensive act, closing yourself up to any
possible hurt or ridicule! If they think you're funny, so what? Be
My clown! "Make'em laugh!" Don't take yourself so seriously! But
you must keep loving!
If you knew how powerful your looks of love could be, that
should be emanating from your eyes... if you could only
overcome your fear of rejection! It is time for you to overcome! It
is time for you to confront your enemy, your personal "Mr.
Smith", and face him, and fight! Open your eyes and see whether
I will not use you as an instrument and channel of My love, in
spite of all the Devil can do to try to discourage you, intimidate
you or stop you from doing it! Keep daring on! If there is a show
of resistance from somebody, move on to the next! Scan your
audience for a receptive pair of eyes, and then don't be afraid to
make a connection. Claim that keys promise: "Call on the keys to
give you God's eyes when you look at your audience, & those
who see you will know it is Jesus speaking and singing through
you."
Let Me speak & sing and love them through you! That is your
purpose, your task, your destiny! Why miss out on the thrills of
fulfilling your destiny? For the fear of a little rejection & ridicule?
Are you going to let the Devil bluff you & scare you out that
easily & get you to surrender the field to him so easily?
Why do you think I sent you into their midst? Just like the Father
sent Me to hell to preach to the spirits in prison for 3 days and
nights... do you think I would have needed to do so if there had
been no hope for them whatsoever?
See what wonders love can do, and find out whether love cannot
transform one of those "zombies" into one of My living creatures
& powerhouses of energy of God! I didn't give up on you! So,
don't give up on them, prematurely, either!
Yes, I know it's exhausting, it takes a lot of energy, it's tiring, and
you often wonder if it's all really worth it... You figure, "Oh, they'll
just have more problems if they get saved, anyway, because then
the Devil will start fighting them!" So what? Would you rather
leave them in his clutches? You cannot continue to see things
with the carnal mind like that!
Look at it like this: you are in this fight, in this battle against
good and evil, the good fight of faith, and you know there's no
turning back, no way you're going to quit fighting, and you
desperately need the help of more fighters to help you survive in
the future, just as they desperately need you and your witness,
the truth you've got to share with them, in order for them to find
their purpose in life, and a cause worth fighting for! Just because
there are some who will resist the option of breaking out of their
cozy little cage doesn't mean that there are none who want to be
freed. And even if they all just wanted to stay trapped in their
cage, you would still owe them the message that they could be
free if they wanted to, and I would increase your power and
supplies by another means.
But I have purposely ordained it thus that you need the help and
support of others, and that you operate in teamwork with them,
just as I have ordained all of life to be a constant scheme of give
& take, love & be loved! The times that you had the courage to
reach out into the darkness resulted in so much fruit! Imagine
how much more fruit there could be if you would only reach out
more often!
So, pray desperately, My love, that you will not fail Me in those
golden opportunities I bring across your path! You'll never know
whom you might meet! Keep your eyes open for receptive hearts,
and even if it's not quite obvious upon first glance, keep on
digging!
There are many who don't know that they have been deceived,
who don't even know that there's a truth to discover, a real sense
& purpose in life! Find them, and in finding them, help them to
find it, and to find Me, and in finding them, help Me to find them!
My little lost sheep! Oh, please, make them your task in life, your
mission, the one job you're wholeheartedly dedicated to: finding
My lost sheep! I can't beg you enough!
Yes, I know it's not all that easy! Some of them don't even know
that they're sheep, and some are well camouflaged in wolf's
clothing! You've just got to be open to My Spirit to lead you to the
ones, and what's most important is that you send out clear
signals that will beckon them to come and will attract them to
you! And what is it that makes it obvious & clear to all men that
you are My disciples? "If ye have LOVE one to another!"
(Jn.13:35)
So, show that love, let it shine, and they will come, okay? Never
cease, never stop showing and emanating that love! Never stop
radiating love and spiritual sunshine! Keep shining on!

Stress & pressure can be tricks of the Enemy to get you out

protective bubble. I want you to learn to be the same person,
whether you're interacting with brethren or with outsiders, not to
become a chameleon & adapt the color & spirit of your
surroundings!
Just be My creation & stand up for Me and My truth wherever you
are, to the extent you're able to, and always keep on the lookout
for an opportunity to be a witness for Me. Just stay connected to

Be My you when you're around them. Take Me with you wherever

There is no spiritual life without prayer. Prayer is the A & O of
it. If you want to live in the spirit, if you want to bring forth fruit in
the spirit, and accomplish anything in the spirit, it's going to
have to begin with prayer. Souls and disciples are spiritual
babies being born through prayer!
Praying for others is one of the first steps of love. Through
prayer, you become a practicer of what you believe in, it's one of
the first ways of putting your belief into action! You put My power
& magic into effect through your prayers!
Draw them in through your prayers. All the words in the World
won't do the trick, it's gotta be My Spirit working in their heart,
and the only influence you have on this process is through your
prayers.
Just because prayer sounds so familiar, simple & childlike, it's
not very appealing to the intellect. It doesn't come across as
anything glorious, mysterious or special you can do, since it's
basically something every child can do. But how many really use
that power?
It is your means to practice the greatest magic in existence, your
usage of My power, and you should think twice about whether
you should allow the Enemy to cheat you out of that weapon, just
by making it look as something simple & childlike and completely
different in your eyes than it really is!
Just like praise, prayer is one of those weapons that sound so
simple, so contrary to all that appeals to the human intellect &
ambition to accomplish something on your own, that it's pretty
easy for the Devil to trick you into neglecting them through pride,
which is lucky for him, because he knows that if you start using
those weapons as you should, his days are numbered.
If you're going to win disciples, you're going to have to win them
to the habit of using the power of prayer, too, and that includes
having them learn from your own sample of a prayerful attitude!
They must see that you really believe in My power, and that
means, you're going to be using and applying My power through
prayer.
Before anything is going to work out in the physical, you're first
going to have to establish it in the spiritual, by asking Me to
make it work, through prayer. Make room for it to happen -
through prayer. You're not only creating a vacuum inside of your
own heart & spirit for Me to fill, but you actually create a space
for Me to fill with My miraculous answer within your realm of
operation, your world, your environment, your surroundings &
circumstances, your situation. Make room for miracles and new
disciples - through prayer! Make it happen - through prayer! Use
My magic! - Pray! Draw in new disciples, sheep and supporters -
through prayer! Get rid of obstacles, both, in the physical and the
spiritual - through prayer!
When you start becoming aware of all that prayer is capable of
and what you're capable of through prayer, it just about becomes
ridiculous that you don't use that greatest of all powers available
to man to a greater extent than you do - doesn't it? Of course, it
takes time and requires patience and faith to pray! It doesn't
minister to your carnal sense and desire for accomplishment.
You want to accomplish something with your own hands, and
that doesn't happen when you pray. You're using a remote
control for My hands to do something instead. But if you're wise,
and you have the faith & insight it takes to really accomplish
great things, you will actually realize that this way - using My
hands, instead of your own - you can get so much more
accomplished, it's like multiplying your own strength
innumerable times over.
With your own two hands you can maybe move a few bricks at a
time, but using My power, you can move a whole wall or as I have
said in My Word - a whole mountain, with the same or even less
physical effort.
I appreciate your wanting to do things for Me. But there are so
many spiritual forces at work behind the scenes, that you simply
must forsake any attempt to do this with your own natural
means. You must operate in the spirit. That means you must give
Me commands and put Me in charge of the things you want Me to
do! "Command ye Me!" - Especially concerning the work of My
hands, and My sons & daughters.
When you can't do something yourself, then you've got to ask Me
to do it!
You've got to learn to let Me work!
"Stand back and watch Me fight!" I'll say, "Just wait patiently, My
son, and watch Me a while & see what you can learn from Me!"
"What do you see?" "What have I already done in your life?"
"What can you learn out of it and what do you think I'm trying to
tell you through this?"
I'm telling you, relax! Take it easy! Stand back and watch Me
fight! Enjoy life a little bit! Learn how to let Me do it, instead of
thinking you've got to do it all yourself! You can't do it yourself!
I've got to do it for you! Stop trying to carry that heavy load
yourself! Let Me help you! Let Me carry your burden! Let Me carry keepers, to both, give and take correction from each other

494 ____________________________________________________
I'm teaching you to pay more attention to the details, to fine-
tune your operations, plans & proceedings. You've got a general
view of the Big Picture, but there are still many, many details to
discover, and since My Big Picture is multi-dimensional, there
will always be new angles, depths & glimpses to discover in it.
In fact, the Big Picture is a living picture that's still growing &
evolving, not by itself, but by My design, as everything is, so, you
discover as you go & while it continues to grow. View life as an
expedition with many things to observe & study, with tons of
details to glean & learn from.
Paying attention to the details will help you not to overlook
important factors, it will teach you patience & the importance of
little things. It will help you to not so easily misjudge or
misunderstand things, not to make snap judgments. If you realize
how much hinges & depends on little things, you will learn to
hold your peace on a matter until you're certain you've got all the
details straight & you're not missing any of the factors in the
equation, and you'll see, you'll be a lot less prone to making
mistakes in your life.
Take a hint from Me, the Creator of all things, and Master of
precision: you'll get more done, and you'll do it a lot better, by
not ignoring the little details! Details are important! Tiny little
herbs & spices can completely change the entire flavor of a big
meal. Tiny little strokes & touches make the big picture come to
life. Tiny little thoughts gear the actions of people, big & small,
and tiny little words can make the difference between life &
death... Tiny little atoms & molecules, the building blocks of the
entire, gigantic universe... Tiny little sperms & egg cells uniting
into a new human being, consisting of innumerable more little
cells.
To Me, every little detail matters. Every little hair on your head,
every little sparrow, every little word you say.
Even all of eternity consists of tiny little moments, as does the
ocean, of tiny little drops... One of these days you'll just see how
much I am into details: every man & woman being faithful in
doing just the tiny little thing they can do. Tiny little prayers,
accomplishing more than all the greatest works of the flesh.
Whenever man decided to get something "great" accomplished -
like the tower of Babel, for instance - often, what resulted was
nothing but confusion and destruction. Now, during the time of
man's greatest accomplishments ever, there is also the greatest
confusion ever, with less people knowing what they're here for
and where they're going, than ever before.
That's why you, My tiny little lights in this gross darkness, are so
important to Me. You may seem like nothing, and yet, everything
revolves around you, as you will someday see. Remember what
infuriated Nero in "Peter & Paul" the most? That some were
saying that Paul was the most important man in the World. Not
the great ruler of the Roman empire, but a little Jewish preacher
from the edge of the World...
It's still the same: not the big rock stars or movie stars or
pompous politicians are really the important people, but My little
pivots, like you, on which the axis & the wheels of history are
really turning. There were many great & pompous men in Nero's
day, but who ever remembers them? But the Peters & Pauls are
now recognized as the real stars, & thus will it also be in the
future. The Britney Spears' & Michael Jacksons & George Bushs
are going to be obscure & unheard of then, but everyone will
know about the Family.

I want you to see My creation in each other, the new man or
woman, which I'm making you, the king, queen, prince, princess,
priest or priestess you're going to be when I'm done with you - by
faith. Don't look at the old man with their faults & human failures,
but at that which you're going to be. You've got to look in the
spirit, through My eyes, through the eyes of love, faith & hope.
Forsake the eyes of doubt, of criticism & of seeing the so-called
"realistic" side or view of things, which is only the temporal view
of things, really, which will cease, along with all that is temporal,
& look on that which is eternal. See things in the spirit.

else will fall into place, for only I can give you the necessary faith
and love for others that will enable you to live by faith which
worketh by love.
All My prophets had feet of clay and weaknesses, none of them
was perfect, so that people would still have to look to Me, not just
at the man. The only man you do well to look up to and "behold
the man", is I.
I was a humble man, troubled by His enemies, with a very short
public ministry that ended on the cross.
I need to make sure that it will be all Me working through you,
that you will be giving Me all the glory and none of those things
like reputation and what people say or think of you matter to you.
Just keep trusting Me that I know what I'm doing, and I will anoint
you in your time & will have you progress at My pace, not anyone
else's.
Let not your heart be troubled by all these things. Yes, time is
short, & the days are evil, but let not go of the anointing I have
given you over your enemies! Don't be overwhelmed by all that is
to trouble you, but let Me be your Comforter, your Strength, your
strong Pillar, your Anchor!
It's got to be Me! It's got to be Me moving and thinking and acting
in you and through you and by you, otherwise it will all be of no
avail. That's still the most important thing you've got to learn: to
let Me operate through you.
They will see the anointing, the peace and the power, yes, even
the authority that spending time with Me and putting Me first
daily will give you, and they might figure, "Well, if it works for
him, it might work for Me, too..."

Learning to have My peace & calm in the middle of all & to be
a pillar of My strength & tranquility, that's what learning to be a
shepherd & leader of My flock is all about. To absorb what's
going on around you, but not to be absorbed by it! To be a steady
rock in their midst that they can lean on, that they can flee to
when there's confusion or turmoil, unshaken, and always

which you stand.
I commanded the seas to be calm and they were calm. That's the

But the only way to make progress at all is to get ahold of Me &
My power.
I'm going to help you do what you can & you'll have to trust Me
for what you can't do yet at this time, rather than falling into the
snare of self-condemnation.
Put your full trust in Me, blindly, that I am leading you in a good
path, and I will give you the strength you will need at the time
you'll need it.
Those steep declines on your life's roller coaster ride are simply
part of it.
I know better than you what you can handle. If you stand on this
truth, that I won't allow you to suffer more than you can bear,
than you will also know that whatever befalls you must be within
the range of what I know to be bearable. So, bear it with a grin. If I
allow it, it means that you can handle it.
Seek Me & ask Me where the challenge lies, where the solution
lies, what I want you to learn out of this. It's not too much, it's not
too hard or too tough to bear, because I'm allowing it, and I know
that you can handle this.
I can see you better than you see yourself, and I can see the
hidden, potential strength that lies dormant within you, waiting to
be activated! I see you as stronger than you see yourself.
I am your strength! Is there anything too hard for Me? So, if
anything seems to be too hard for you, the problem can only lie
in you not availing yourself of My strength as much as you
should...
509 ____________________________________________________
You're My bride! I like to consume you, as you like to
consume Me. As you breathe Me in & drink Me in, so I also enjoy
to drink, breathe you in, inhale you & ravish you, absorb you! I
love to become one with you! It gives Me such ecstasy.
Love is the meaning of life on every level. Even on the highest
level, I the Son of God & Creator of all things, as well as the
Father Himself, We live to love and to be loved. Even though you
may feel unworthy of such honor, it is not the flesh that counts,
it's the spirit that makes all this possible.
Just like the penis enters into the dark & hidden places of the
woman's intimate parts, so I love & crave to enter into the dark &
hidden things of this dark & mysterious realm of the flesh, the
physical, and I crave for intimate contact with My believers in the
physical realm, those who can only perceive Me by faith. This is
so specially rewarding, gratifying & satisfying for Me, you can
hardly imagine it.
When My children set aside their Earthly desires & seek their
satisfaction & utmost fulfillment in Me instead, this means so
much to Me, it pleases Me so very much. Just like without faith it
is impossible to please Me, there is no greater way to please Me
than by this expression of faith, of pulling down My seeds from
Me by faith.
"Blessed are they who having not seen, yet believe!" So, keep on
believing, & keep on drinking in My love, keep on sucking My
paps & nursing & feeding on Me, keep on consuming Me, the
Bread of Life! For unless ye eat My flesh & drink My blood, ye
have no part in Me! I need you to consume Me! I need you to
hunger for Me, to crave Me, to desire Me, to need Me, to be utterly
dependent on Me! I need you to be desperate for Me to fill your
souls & spirits to the utmost!
The more you yield to Me and the more you choose Me, the more
it will become irrelevant what others may think... the more you
will be willing to be My love slave, ready to be consumed by the
fire of My love & devotion.
Just as Nicodemus couldn't understand how a man could be
"born again", so the Nicodemuses of today don't understand
how a man could become a bride of Christ.
But the wind bloweth where it listeth & thou hearest the sound
thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh or whither it goeth,
so is everyone that is born of the spirit. You cannot tell the one
who is born of the spirit where he's supposed to go, nor can
normal, mortal men tell where these are coming from. Nobody
can tell them what they're supposed to be, or what they can't be,
because, "in the spirit, in the spirit, you can be so free, you can
be whoever you want to be" and whatever I want you to be!
I have blessed and loved you for wanting to be that which I want
you to be, not what you are, nor what you want to be, but what I
want you to become... that which I choose and prefer, a tool &
vessel according to My liking!
I have chosen you to become a special vessel to absorb what I
am giving. The only requirement is that you stay faithful to Me,
that you don't take this liberty I have given you as a license to do
as you please or to get sidetracked with other things, but you
must constantly seek Me as to how I want you to invest the time I
have given you.
To whom much hath been given, of him much shall be required,
and I have given you this great privilege to be a chosen vessel of
Mine at the price that you should also really be Mine and Mine
alone, and that you strictly discipline yourself & consecrate
yourself to Me; make Me all that matters to you!
Am I worth that much to you? Am I worth to you all you've got?
All your time, all your attention, all your obedience & all your
desires? Can I truly be all that you want & all you desire? Can
you truly trust Me that I'm going to be all you'll ever need &
needed, all you want, & ever wanted & all you ever craved? I will
give you all the other things you ever craved & wanted as well, if
you will make Me your only desire, for I am Everything!
Everything that's good & everything you ever wanted is found in
Me!
510 ____________________________________________________
In giving to Me, you're pouring out your substance unto Me
and My house, and you're showing your faith in giving back to
Me what I have given you in the first place. Don't consider it a
technical formality only, for it's part of your worship, your
service, your sacrifice to Me, as it is the effect that will help
others you give to, to bring forth more fruit to Me, in which you
will find great blessing. Give willingly & cheerfully, as from your
whole heart. It is of utmost importance to the furtherance of My
Kingdom. The more you give to Me, the more I will be able to give
back to you.
511 ____________________________________________________
Don't let the Enemy trick you into believing that I don't love
you or that you're too bad to deserve My attention!
He tries. If he can't get through to you with his old lies anymore,
he'll try to weaken you with new lies. That's his art: weaving &
spinning new lies all the time, so, don't you fall for them! Stay
close to My truth, & be also faithful to expose the Enemy's lies he
uses on your loved ones, but do so in love.
The longer you love Me, the more time you will spend in My arms
right here with Me, the more the urge will grow in you to also
share that love with others, and the more My love in you will
compel & constrain you to give that same love to those who also
seek Me. You must patiently allow Me to work in your life & worry
not about doing it in the arm of the flesh.
My love for you grows and grows so much that it's going to
explode & burst through the confines & limitations the Enemy is
trying to impose on you.
I do not love you any less for things you do or don't do, but your
own capacity to love and your own joy could be multiplied many
times over by giving out more & giving your life & My message to
others more, by sharing Me more with others.
So, why piddle around in puddles, when there are oceans to
swim in? You could have so much more by overcoming the
confines, the limitations & restrictions that you are allowing right
now to hold you back & keep you from sharing more. Keep
focused on the goal and the possibilities & the greater potential,
the greater love, greater joy & greater victories that lie out there,
waiting for you to avail yourself of them.
As I have waited for you to finally reach out and touch Me, now
the next step is that you reach out to those that would also like to
get to know Me and touch Me and don't know how or where. They

If you lack energy, come & get it straight from the Source of
all power & energy! I have promised: "I will strengthen thee, yea,
I will help thee, yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of My
righteousness."
You go a lot by how you feel, and by what you see. But I want you
to experience that I am "more real than anything you see or
feel"... I want to be the Light that you turn on in your life when it's
dark, the heat you can avail yourself of when it's cold, your food
when you're hungry, your drink when you thirst.
I want you to realize how badly you need Me. How nothing you
are without Me. How useless everything will be unless you reach
out for Me & do it in My strength!
It all depends on how badly someone hungers & thirsts after
righteousness. If they're going to be happy & satisfied with
anything less than My best, then they won't continue their
search, but simply settle for whatever they're content with, 2nd
or 3rd or maybe 4th best... Whatever compromise the Enemy of
their souls & of their happiness will be able to persuade'em to
settle for. But since you've asked Me to become your all in all, I
will allow things to happen in your life to make you desperate for
Me to the utmost, even if that's not always a pleasant process.
Your bones are aching, your stomach feels nauseated, you feel
tired, but you can't sleep anymore... Time to get ahold of Me!
Time to start learning to rely on Me for strength & as the only true
Source of energy, & to give you a boost to help you to make it.
Without Me you can't even get started, and that's good. What's
the use in getting started in your own strength & getting going in
the flesh, if you want to accomplish acts of the spirit & bear
everlasting fruit? If you want to accomplish works that count in
the Spirit, you're going to have to get ahold of Me & realize just
how real and how important I am.
I am the Designer of every little molecule you and all that
surrounds you consist of. And while each of those molecules
might or might not continue to exist for a certain time span, I am
the Planner with the plan behind each of their existence, in other
words, much more real than anything you feel or see... So, that's
pretty important, isn't it? So much strength, wisdom & power to
avail yourself of.
Just because most people are never aware of that & ignore Me &
never avail themselves of My power, does that mean you have to
behave as if you were as ignorant as they? I'm right here - the
Source of strength to overcome all weakness, all laziness & any
mood that might threaten to hold you down. Just use Me! Put Me
to use & avail yourself of Me! Don't take Me for granted! Don't be
so familiar with Me that you hardly give Me anymore attention,
just because you think you've already got Me all figured out &
know all about Me. When it comes to all there is to know about
Me, the amount of what you do know is pretty close to nothing.
If someone asked you whether you would want a delicious
breakfast, have sex with the girl of your dreams or indulge in
your favorite pastime, like watch a thrilling movie or go
horseback riding or for a trip to a south sea island, you'd be wide
awake with excitement then, wouldn't you? Well, I'm all these
things & more for you, your Soul Mate, Who alone is able to fulfill
those wildest dreams for you.
You have a hard time believing it, do you? You think, "Yeah, you
could, Lord..., but then, why should You?" Well, I would, because
I love you and would like to make you happy, and your lack of
belief is the only reason why I shouldn't...
It's all just limited by your own faith.
Some of you lack the faith to overcome their weaknesses or their
laziness or they lack faith for simply more energy. Some of you
lack the faith to be able to really trust Me & thus overcome &
eliminate their fears. Some of you lack the faith that there's ever
going to be enough love for you... Some lack faith in My power to
supply or the faith for protection or faith in My love. That's all you
really need in order to get all you ever needed & wanted. Drawing
faith, to draw the power, the love, the strength you need from Me.
So, exercise, gain and cultivate your faith. Buy that good gold
from Me which is going to get you through the hardest times of
history, when paper money won't have stood the fiery test: get
faith! And you know where to get it! Just listen to Me, feed on &
apply My Words!
Keep on the lookout for My exciting ways to bring to pass your
wildest dreams. Life is really exciting, if you just open your eyes
& realize what's going on! Avail yourself of My strength & light &
life!
516 ____________________________________________________
It doesn't matter what or how or where you are, I will always
love you! Always be mindful of My unconditional love for you &
don't get bogged down with thoughts of self-condemnation!
That's the downhill spiral & drift of the Enemy. Call on Archer &
his heavenly archers for help to aim at the right goal, the highest,
& let nothing divert you from it. All things work together for good
to you because you love Me & are called & chosen according to
My purpose.
In spite of all the gloom & doom you feel, life is still thrilling &
something glorious! Think of all the joy you're still going to bring
into people's lives!
You've each got Me, the Source of all joy & bliss & heavenly love
& sunshine right in your hearts.
The victory IS available for those who would avail themselves of
it in the power of the keys. My power is always on and available,
like electricity or a broadcasting station. Now, if you let the
Enemy persuade you that it's no use to even flip the switch, turn
the knob & get ahold of My power, that it's better to remain in the
valley & darkness of his dumps, then that's really your own fault.
If you choose to float back into the darkness because you think
it's more comfortable there, then that's your decision &
responsibility, and you can't blame it on anybody else, nor
should you bear that kind of responsibility or burden if anyone
tries to heap it on you.
You can't look at man in this business! If you look at man, you're
sunk!
If you look at all the sin and the human failure that's there, & all
that's wrong, you might as well give up & quit & tie up in port
right now. The difference between the System & the Family is not
that there is no sin in the Family. It's that in the Family there is a
lot more grace to be found. My grace. The sure mercies of David.
In the World there is sin and the accompanying condemnation
which alienates them from Me. In the Family, there is sin with the
accompanying forgiveness & mercy and lessons of love &
humility gained out of them in the long run, as I have promised to
all those who love Me, because even your sins are part of "all
things" that work together for good to you.
The difference between the System & the Family is Me. In the
System there is darkness with no light. In the Family, there is still
a lot of darkness & dirt & sin which is inborn human nature or
contamination from the World or brought about by the Enemy's
attacks & intrusions, but there is hope, because I am there to
cleanse anyone from their sin for the asking, there is
forgiveness, there is love in spite of the sin. That's what grace is,
the grace whereby ye are saved, not of yourselves, not of works,
lest any man should boast.
Nobody can boast of My Salvation, you can only rejoice in it &
thank & praise Me for it, and that's the neglected path that could
and would bring the victory to so many, if they would only
choose that path of praise.
Instead of allowing the sin and the bad all around to drag you
down into the pit, you should praise Me, that in spite of all that
filth I love you and will always love you, and - don't worry: I have
cleansed you, and I will continue to cleanse you and sanctify you
unto Me. You are very precious to Me. Like diamonds just hewn
out of the dark, black rocks: There's still a lot of that black stuff
all around you, and if you focus on that, you're not a pretty sight,
that's true. But just wait until I'm through with you!
Now, some say, "Stick me back into the mud & into the rocks! I
can't bear the shame of my filth! I don't want the World to see
how dirty I am, and down there in the mire with all the other dirt,
at least I won't stick out! Put me back in!" Or they say, "Whoa,
you guys are really not looking that much better than the rest of
the rocks down there in the mine. I might as well go back there &
spare myself all the chipping away on me by the Master's hand;
all that cleansing & uncomfortable purging."
It's all a matter of focus, like Pollyanna said: "If you look for the
bad in people, you're going to find it." The trick is to look at the
good & focus on the good, which, in essence, means to focus on
Me in each of you, the hope of glory. It's having faith for each
other, faith that looks not so much at what you or they are, but
what by the grace of God someday you're all going to be. That's
seeing the spiritual man or woman in each other, as opposed to
seeing only the flesh, and that's where having a spiritual
relationship starts.
Sometimes familiarity can really kill it. You live with someone for
years & you're so familiar with all their faults & you lose faith that
they could actually be used by Me in some mighty or special way.
You lose interest in whatever they're getting from Me, just
because you know the vessel so well, you figure, "Well, what's in
there couldn't be much better than what I already know of his
outside." Wrong. You have incredible treasures in earthen
vessels, that the excellency of the power may be manifest as
clearly being Mine & not your own. Which, again, should give you
all the more reason to praise Me & thank Me, that I have chosen
you weak, earthen vessels as vehicles & sacred carriers &
holders of My messages, My wisdom, My Spirit.
So, look not at the flaws in yourselves nor each other, but see Me
in you, and the bounty I have bestowed upon each of you, of My
true eternal riches and beauty, and rejoice, be thankful, be
humble & glorify Me, love Me and revel in Me, for I glory in you. I
would like to use you, no matter how little you think of yourself!
And I would like to use that brother or sister of yours, no matter
how familiar you may be with their weaknesses...
Of course, if you're not really interested in being used by Me, but
are only interested in yourself or in how you can use others, then
there's not really that much I can do to help you, except let you
get another bellyful of the selfish life in the darkness, & I'll leave
you there for a while until you're ready & willing to once again
sparkle & shine along with all My other diamonds in the rough, &
ready to be cleansed again. Sometimes even the rough times in
the darkness will bring about a certain purging already, as you
realize you don't really fit in there, either, or they realize you
don't, or you consolidate what it really is you want in life.
Whichever way you choose, I will not condemn you.
517 ____________________________________________________
The Enemy tries to tell you "it's all wasted!" He says, "Look
at them, they're so wasted! It's just a big waste! They waste their
energy, they waste their lives... what a waste..." Yeah, when they
could have lived their lives selfishly, like so many others, and
invested it more "wisely" & carefully like most people, seeking
pleasure & gain for themselves, instead of "wasting" it on so
many kids...
Many might say that My life was wasted, and I was being wasted
and looked definitely wasted by the time I carried that cross. But
"wasted" can also just mean a very intense form of "being
spent", and as far as eternal rewards go, nothing is really wasted
in a life that's spent in giving unselfishly & living for others,
whether they be your own children I have entrusted in your care
or others I lead across your path. Sure, it's pretty tough when
those very ones you poured your life into can then turn around &
say, "Mom, how could you be so stupid & waste your life on all
those kids?" (Indicating that it might have been better for
everyone involved if you had only had one or, two, namely them
and maybe a little brother or sister to play with...)
And sometimes it's because you missed the opportunity
somewhere to really teach them some character values & help
them to become less selfish than most everybody else around.
But in the end, the whole universe will finally see what was really
wasted and what was really wisely invested.
Sometimes they could have gone more in the power of the Spirit
than the flesh, and sometimes it didn't look all that anointed &
blessed because they simply didn't wait for Me or didn't really
depend on my supernatural help.
But all in all, theirs will have been a much wiser investment than
that of all the selfish lives put together.
Catch a glimpse of the way I see it.
I've had to let the entire older generation of the children of Israel
become extinguished in the desert, and in the modern day
version, it is those who trust in and look at the flesh who are
going to have to become extinguished, and only those who truly
trust & rely on My Spirit will make it in the end.
Like Paul asked some of the early Christians, "That which we
have begun in the Spirit, are you going to perfect it now in the
flesh?"
The flesh can be such a distraction from that which really
matters.
That's why those who are doing it in the arm of the flesh are
dying out.
Learning together to focus on the spiritual part of your
relationship, and making Me the center & golden middle of it, is
what will salvage your being a team for Me. I'm really your only
hope. You're going to have to live this relationship in the spirit,
with Me being the Center of it, and the top priority in both your
hearts and lives, otherwise it can't work. So, let it grow.
How can you let it grow & cultivate a spiritual relationship? By
sharing with each other what you experience in the spirit, the
things I'm teaching & revealing to each of you.
You will have to make the choice whether you're going to see
each other in the flesh or in the spirit. It is the spirit that
quickeneth - brings life - the flesh profiteth nothing - it's no good.
So, work on seeing each other in the spirit. I didn't say, work on
the other to help them see you in the spirit, but work on seeing
the other in the spirit. It's got to be your view, your focus, your
attitude that's going to have to change. Changing the world
starts with you. What matters is that each of you goes on with
Me, and whether the other one gets the point or not: what is that
to thee?
Just make sure you're getting the point of what I'm trying to get
across to you, & you'll see, I'll take care of the other one, you
won't even need to do much except pray for them, and just focus
on Me & do & say & share what I'm showing you to. Just focus
on Me, and things will start to flow, you'll see.
518 ____________________________________________________
You wonder why I allow funny things like these to happen in
your life, & whether it's maybe because you're off the track
somewhere, and this is some kind of a punishment.
But you need to trust that your life is in My hands & that even
these odd things are ordained by Me for different purposes. They
keep you humble, desperate & dependent on Me. You know
you're not going to get through this all in one piece except for My
protection & care, & like this I draw you closer to My bosom.
I love you and I want to be your Shelter from the storm. I want to
draw you so close to Me and let you experience My comfort, so
that you'll be able to comfort others with the same comfort you
have received from Me.
519 ____________________________________________________
I will be your strength when there is no strength, I will be
your comfort, your guiding light. I will steer you safely into My
harbor. Trust wholly in Me. I will be your ship and My Spirit will be
the wind to propel you gently forward in the right direction. In the
World you feel pushed around at times, but I give not as the
World giveth. In Me you shall find peace and safety. I am your
relief & surcease from the strain the World puts on you. I am your
Comfort. If there would be nothing to comfort you from, why
should you need a Comforter?
Even so, the adversities of this life were ordained to gear & steer
your focus in My direction, to make Me the goal in your life, the
place where you will find all the answers & all you yearn for. It is
for that reason also, that I'm not able to grant you all the desires
of your flesh, because I know that in this you would not find the
greatest fulfillment you truly long for. You must trust that I don't
want to withhold anything that's good for you, I just simply
happen to know better than you what's truly best for you, and
that's not always just what you want or desire at the moment.
Sometimes the best for you is to wait a little while and learn a
little patience, as I have said, "ye have need of patience" and
patience takes faith, so it all contributes to your acquiring the
true riches & values of the spirit, the everlasting riches & values,
God's true gold & currency: the currency of faith.
What greater gift could you acquire than the ability to rise above
all earthly and physical circumstances, according to your need?
That's the same power and magic that fed the 5000 when there
was no food. Come on, let's defy the laws of physics together, by
means of the superior laws of the spirit and confound all those
thinkers & would-be scientists with a science and knowledge that
will defy all theirs, and that is deeper & greater than anything
they could ever come up with in their finite minds!
My path is higher than that. So much higher... Learning to fly.
That's what it's all about.
Just a little while longer you will be confined to the boundaries of
the physical World with it's laws. Just a little while longer you will
be bound to the laws of gravity that tie you down to the ground.
Soon we'll leave all that behind. "Come fly with Me!"
520 ____________________________________________________
One step at a time... Go slowly, My love. Sometimes you go
too fast in picturing all these different possible scenarios in your
head, like Mark Twain said, "many troubles, most of which never
happened."
You're so close to that attitude of positive trust, cheerfully
trusting that I know best & trying to see My hand even in
apparent tragedy.
Those who are alert & attuned to My Spirit will find each other
and flock together, being brought together by their helpers &
their whispers.
Those who are in their ruts of doing what they've always been
doing the way they've always been doing them, will probably
continue to do so, but those who are open & receptive to My
winds of change can enjoy new breezes & exciting changes,
both, in the spirit, and as a result of those changes in the spirit,
also significant changes in the physical.
So, be open for My positive winds of change! Don't let the Enemy
bog you down with his negative version & view of things, which
he would like to impose on you.
It's easy: those who make My goals their goals & My business
their business will thrive & rise above & just ride on the wave of
My will, but those who continue to selfishly seek the fulfillment of
their own desires & plans, thereby often standing in the way of
those who would seek to do My will above all, will be taken out of
the way or fall by the wayside... As much as you love them, you
must see that it's better if they're gone, so that you can
concentrate more on My job for you. My job for you is the sheep
who are not yet in the fold, who have not yet even ever heard the
words of David.
There is a totally new crop & harvest of a generation that has
never even heard about My spiritual revolution.
521 ____________________________________________________
It's more difficult in many ways, more humbling and it
requires more patience to operate as a team, to learn to function
as a team, but the reward and benefits are that it safeguards you
from a selfish & independent road of pride & self-efficiency,
which makes you go through life with an attitude of "I don't need
anybody else", the result of which is usually that you'll find out
that while others would have needed you badly, they won't need
anybody with that attitude, either.
It's okay to be needing others, and I have ordained it thus that
others need you, too, and they need you to need them, as well.
There is something so much higher, more noble and more
important to strive for than just plain efficiency in a worldly
sense, of how many funds you can bring in on your own, or how
much work you can get done on your own. To learn to be working
as a team is much more important in My eyes, and something
much more valuable to achieve.
Teaching someone to harmonize takes time, just like it takes time
to teach a child to do the dishes or to be a help in the household.
But if you don't take that time & invest that time, you'll be stuck
on your own as the only one who can "do it," having failed to
train others to follow in your foot steps, having failed to let
others help you.
Including others more would definitely be a key to greater
success in My eyes. That selfish & self-efficient sample is one of
the greatest factor in others' not really feeling needed. Nobody
wants to be a burden.
It never dawns on you how tough a job of responsibility is until
you have one yourself.
Who of you is not here or in this Family entirely by My grace
alone? Those who had the most potential & were able to lean on
their own arms have fallen flat on their faces and have petered
out, long before those who needed Me and nothing but Me to
cling to, in order to make it through another day.
Great abilities in the flesh can be more of a handicap than a
blessing in My work, and stand between Me and you, stopping
you from accomplishing those things I really want you to do.
So, don't be afraid to let go. Just let go & fall back into My arms!
522 ____________________________________________________
Fall in love with the spirit. Open your eyes to the way I see
the perfect way they are in the spirit.
I'm teaching you & allowing you to experience a little bit if
Heaven on Earth already, in order for you to show heaven to the
World. I'm teaching you to learn to love each other to the point
where you're willing to lay down your life for the other, in spite of
whatever flaws or imperfections they may have, by learning to
see them through the eyes of the spirit and My eyes of love!
I have called you to explore the realms of the Spirit.
523 ____________________________________________________
I gave you this "Isaac" from My hand, & yet I'm asking you
now to forsake it again... the ultimate test of faith.
Though you may have to forsake your heart's desires for My
sake, and for My work's sake for a time of "sowing in tears," "joy
cometh in the morning", and there will be a day of great rejoicing
when you will reap, if ye faint not, and when you will see that it
has been worth it all.
Though now you may be tempted to see Me as cruel to give you
something and then ask you to return it and give it back to Me, to
give it up for Me, one day you'll see that this test of your first love
was utterly necessary.
"Let Me be your First Love..."
See not the loss, but what You have gained out of it! Incredible
lessons, and a broken heart, and a much closer relationship with
Me! Isn't that what you really wanted? You are becoming a warm,
compassionate & tender-hearted lover of God and others. Isn't
that worth striving for?
524 ____________________________________________________
I want you to be more desperate for My help, realizing more
that you need Me, get you to the point where you see that
nothing works without Me.
The World is busy working away without Me, and where are they
headed? Destruction. You've been working without Me for a long
time, and it takes a while to turn someone around & have them
get into a whole new modus operandi of working by Me. It's not a
thing that happens from one day to the other. It takes time.
Moses didn't become the patient shepherd overnight, either. It
took him 40 years, until he was 80, to get where I wanted him.
Learn to focus on Me without distraction. That's the foundation
on which you can then build lessons of teamwork & unity, etc.
But if you're distracting each other from establishing that
foundation of putting Me first & making Me the basis of all your
actions & interaction, then you'll have problems.
As long as you are the greatest influence on each other, I'm not
able to be the greatest influence on either of you. I want to be the
most important "thing" in your lives.
525 ____________________________________________________
Each day is like a new beginning from scratch. You can't take
the inspiration, the feelings of victory and triumph from the day
before with you into the new day. It's a little bit like daily
forsaking all, or dying daily & being born again. It shows to which
extent I like to make all things new. So, every new day is a new
challenge, a new chapter of your life to be written, involving new
lessons, new treasures to hunt and collect, and, of course, new
battles to win. allowed someone you know to die to show you a glimpse of the

It's a little bit like My parable about the husbandman whose to Me, that would wake them up from the error of their ways, if

"All seek their own, not the things which are Jesus Christ's" 528 ____________________________________________________
(Phil.2:21) That pretty sadly just about wraps it up. All seek their It's one thing to want to change, and another to actually do it

It's a test of faith. Are they going to still believe Me, even if it
seems as if I have broken My Word? It's the test of Job, the test
of Abraham, and the test of those tried in the wilderness, which
things have happened as an ensample to you, upon whom the
ends of the World have come.
Sometimes you have read My Word all your life, and yet you have
never really lived it, never really gotten the point of that passage
you memorized or read or heard a thousand times. "Yes, I know
all that," you say. But, have you ever really tried it? Have you
tried to live it and to experience it, to put it into action and effect
and to the test? Have you found out how happy you can be if you
don't only know these things but actually do them? That's "New
Bottle-ness": the openness & readiness to let Me reveal
something completely new to you, even by means of an "old"
verse or quote that you may have heard a hundred times before,
and the willingness to apply it to yourself today, right now, in a
new & radical way you may have never considered before.
"The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak..." That's one of
the experiences I've made during My life in the flesh, which has
helped Me to have more compassion for all My mortal, flesh &
blood children and brethren and brides. I know how fragile you
are, and how incapable. That's why I don't judge you. But I do try
to give you clues & help you how to overcome the weakness of
the flesh & try to show you how to rise above all those things
that hold you down. I'm saying, "You CAN do it, if you believe!" In
fact, you can do ALL things through Me, IF you believe!
537 ____________________________________________________
I'm happy for you when you feel victorious & on the upper
side of things, but remember that "the Lord is nigh unto them of
a broken heart, and a contrite spirit He will not despise." So,
when you're desperate or battling, you're actually not any further
away from Me than during these more victorious times, but I'm
actually closer to you then, although you may not really feel it.
Walk by faith, not by sight or feelings, to learn to treat those two
"imposters", success & failure, just the same!
The time I was clearly & even visibly with Shadrach, Meshach &
Abednego, was the time they were thrown into the fiery furnace,
so, know that I am with you always when you go through a fiery
trial. The times when you've recuperated from your last trial or
battle, when you feel stronger, and like walking on your own
again, are the times when I can actually let go of your hand for a
little while & see how you'll be faring.
But it would certainly be wise of you not to stray too far from My
hand again, knowing that the next battle might just be 'round the
bend, and "he that thinketh he standeth, let him take heed, lest
he fall," for the unexpected assaults of the Enemy are always the
toughest ones to take. So, be prepared, always! Be cautious!
You're living in perilous times, both, spiritually and physically!
Constantly be on guard against any attacks from the inside or the
outside!
Treat victory and battle - even seeming defeat - just the same,
knowing that for you, just to be fighting spells victory.
Persistence equals victory! You've just got to keep on! And
nothing else matters!
Also keep in mind the objective, and what you're fighting for: the
defeat of self in favor of greater love, unselfishness & sacrifice
for others. Learning to be there for others, and to give, not just to
receive.
Continue to bear in mind that heavenly, golden and noble
objective & goal of unselfish love. Don't try to sneak out of those
little unselfish jobs you can do for others, whatever "thine hand
findeth to do", but do it "with thy might", from the heart, willingly,
as unto Me, knowing that those are the kind of things that will
strengthen you in the best & most worthwhile & noblest of all
disciplines.
That's walking in My footsteps & making Me your Champion,
Example and Hero.
Don't underestimate the little things, for they are often - in My
eyes - the big things. Seek to understand, to empathize, to see
their viewpoint, to lend a listening ear & a helping hand & thus
fulfill the law of Christ, My Law of Love.
538 ____________________________________________________
I weaken the arm of the flesh, in order to strengthen the
spirit. I want you to trust Me more for everything.
I want you to stretch & exercise your muscles of faith, just like
you need to exercise in the physical.
I've had to take some of the distractions away from you, which
occupied you & made you feel like there was nothing else that
concerned you much besides what was going on immediately
around you.
There is a trace & shadow of neglect running through your life
right now, which seeps into many different areas. "This you
should have done & not left the other undone!" Your projects are
all good & nice, as long as they don't cause you to neglect the
most important things in your life!
The sample you're being directly reflects on My Family, and
whatever love or lack of love you show will resemble My love &
that of My Family to them. So, please do not fail to show them My
love.
It's quite a responsibility to be My face to the World, My hands,
My mouth, My feet, My representative!
Be a channel of My love!
What if this was the only time you had left to show My love?
539 ____________________________________________________
Just remember that whichever way things are going to work
out in the end, that all things work together for good, because
you love Me and I love you, and the more you love Me, and take
time to love Me and invest energy & time & prayer power and
your passion into this, our love, the better things are going to
work out. A lot depends on you and what you put into it. You can
steer your boat into virtually any direction and towards any
destination, according to your faith, which is the power that will
draw down My wind to guide you & push you into the waters and
harbor of your choice.
If you just keep up that pace of My Spirit, that "slowly but surely"
pace, you'll know that you'll reach your destination safely,
because I'll be the power to get you there.
540 ____________________________________________________
In a way, the keys of the Kingdom are like music, and in a
way, they are My music! You determine the key in which the tune
of your life, or that fraction of your life, this day, this moment,
this hour is going to be played in, by availing yourself of the
corresponding key. You claim the key of victory, and your life
becomes a song of victory, a victorious, and cheerful tune. You
will learn more about these mysteries, and you will fully
understand when you come Home into the eternal realm, for here
everything is musical and enwrapped in heavenly sounds. Just
like the Enemy rules the soundscape of the physical World at
large, with it's wailing, mournful, monotonous & mechanical
noises, so I rule My Realm, and it's filled with heavenly
symphonies.
By imparting My songs, which contain My Words & message,
you're shedding a little bit of the heavenly soundscape onto the
Earth.
Seek Me about what songs to impart to those around you. Now,
that your flesh is weakened, your gifts of the Spirit have been
strengthened.
Get ahold of Me first thing in the mornings, so you can tune in to
Me, "getting in tune", and "tuning your instrument" to Me, to My
key. With the power of the keys, it all becomes so much clearer,
and you can almost "hear" that heavenly tune to which your daily
rhythm is supposed to be geared, it almost becomes tangible to
you, doesn't it? It's a gift you have to keep cultivating, day by
day. Like a plant, like a tree planted by the rivers of water...
541 ____________________________________________________
Sometimes you have to start from scratch & take that first
step of faith... Just launch out there in blind trust & write the first
few lines, knowing that if you ask, I will answer, even if you don't
"feel" like there's anything coming. Sometimes you can feel it
coming, other times, you have to prime the pump & only a few
drops will come at first, then a trickle, & finally it flows...
This is to help you not to take this gift for granted, and to help
you appreciate these Words of Mine, and to treasure them.
Sometimes I don't feel much like "spoon feeding" you when
there's so much food around that you haven't touched yet...
How about some spiritual clean up in My Word? Just stay tuned
for My voice as You go. Remember that I speak to you also
through My written Word. Nothing like getting into the Word for
staying on My channel...
542 ____________________________________________________
Ye have need of patience. Just because you don't feel like
you're accomplishing very much, doesn't mean you're not in the
center of My will. Maybe I'm still in the process of preparing you.
Remember that Moses was 80 by the time he was ready for the
Exodus. I'm cultivating the desire in you to get out & reap the
harvest like the way a man is being aroused & stimulated. My
urges for you to "get out & do it" are like your natural sex drive,
which I have given to every man to ensure his progeny.
I'm arousing you & stimulating you spiritually to woo & win My
lost bride. This doesn't mean that you should rush & do it in your
own strength. You need My Spirit to do it. And the realization of
impotence & failure without Me is just helping to make You seek
Me & My Spirit more and to make you more desperate for My help
& My power, without which you simply can't do it.
There's such a humongous job out there to do, that there's no
chance in a lifetime even to think that you could do it on your
own without My power, and so I'm making you more desperate to
get ahold of My power. I'm driving you into My arms by the sheer
recognition of the vast need and your impotence to do anything
to quench it, and thus of the need you have for My power to do it
through you and avail yourself of that power...
In other words, if you want to love them - successfully - you'll
have to love Me first & get all the love for them you need from Me
first. And that's why I'm keeping you & training you & teaching
you here in My arms. And you simply need to trust a little that
that's okay. You don't have to feel condemned for not
accomplishing anything for Me, even though I'm constantly
reminding you of the great need. You need to realize the need to
overcome lethargy and other weaknesses, your fears, etc.
But you can't overcome them without My help, so by drawing to
My Word in desperation and seeking Me with greater desperation
in spirit, you're actually coming closer to that goal. The Enemy
can't stand it when one of My children clings to Me desperately
and is crying for help and crying out to Me as to their only hope.
That's like poison to him.
At first the Enemy is attracted by it, because he sees you
weakened, and he tries to get you even more down and deeper
into despair. But what he didn't see was the poison underneath:
the desperation, and the hook of My love and Salvation, which
unstoppably draws you closer to Me in such situations, and while
he took a few nibbles at you, and thought you were going to be
his next meal, he'll find out that you're actually going to kill him,
ha!
You're the Enemy's death, his downfall & nemesis. The deadly
poison, that while it looked so attractive to him, and he joyfully
was trying to gobble you up, you'll be that which kills him from
the inside like Neo did with Mr. Smith.
That's what you are to the Devil & his System.
Like the man in "Medusa Touch", whom people thought to be a
menace and a threat, something evil... Yet he was the hand of My
judgment, virtually unstoppable. And by what? By sheer thought
power. You have the weapons of heavenly thought power,
amplified by the keys and full possession, AME, prayer & praise...
imagine how powerful a threat you are to the Enemy's kingdom.
His only chance lies in trying to dissuade you from ever
beginning to use those weapons. That's all I'm waiting for. Use
those weapons to make it happen!
543 ____________________________________________________
You simply have to trust Me that you're going to get through
this one, too. I know, it's all dreadful from your point of view, but
as you'll look back at this point in your road some day soon,
you'll laugh about it, trust Me. It's just one of those "molehills
turned mountain" that seem so huge & insurmountable to you
right now, but after a while you smile about how you ever
considered this a real challenge...
Appropriating faith is the weapon that'll already propel you to the
place in time in the spirit where you'll be able to laugh about it,
and just by believing My Words to you right now, you consider it
already "done", that this supposed "obstacle" is just another of
the Devil's bluffs.
544 ____________________________________________________
If the "rat" seems to have developed a certain resistance
against My "poison", you will simply have to heighten the dose
or try some other variations of My heavenly "pesticides," just
come to Me for counsel about it, & I'll give & show you what you
need each day & what exactly you must do to successfully bust
Satan and his crowd successfully in each situation.
You may find out that this "rat" actually mutates into a monster, a
great, fierce dragon, that will try to stop you with all within him
from conquering the sleeping princess, and from awakening her
with the kiss of My love & delivering her out of his clutches. But
all the while you're becoming more & more skilled & stronger all
the time as well, and if you're determined to keep fighting him, no
matter what, to always get up again & fight another round, then
you'll win in the end & conquer & save the world through love &
perseverance, love that never fails & never quits.
It's going to be a love explosion, like one huge orgasm, resulting
in many seeds sown & many more new children born into My
Kingdom... That's what I'm preparing you for. Whether it's going
to be here or somewhere else, it doesn't really matter. As long as
you stay in touch with Me & continue to be guided by Me, I will
steer your ship safely into the harbor of My choice.
545 ____________________________________________________
Grow stronger in My strength, not your own. Do you still
think that any of the strength you need to combat the Enemy will
have to be your own or something you can come up with or have
to work up yourself?
I'm teaching you the strength of patiently waiting for Me and
absorbing and assimilating My power. You are not greater than
he that is in the World, but I am. And if I am in you, then he
doesn't stand a chance.
At that point where you recognize the uselessness of the flesh,
the futility of the flesh, that "the flesh profiteth nothing," that's
where you finally get desperate enough to make sure you're
getting ahold of My strength, and that that's the only chance you
ever had and will ever have, Me in you, your only hope.
I'm also strengthening the ties of unity between My people, the
skills of teamwork and successfully fighting the Enemy together
as a team, not "each man for himself." It's the merging that I'm
encouraging, the melting together of hearts & lives, requiring
surrender & submission, not the elevation of one single person.
Elevation of self has always been the Devil's scheme, all those
horns on those beasts "coming up" or "rising up" or "waxing
great," while those truly greats of My realm & My true heroes
have always lived by the rule, "He must increase, and I must
decrease, it is not I that live, but Christ who liveth in me."
Don't miss this revolution of unity, the revolution of the meek &
humble & lowly ones melting together, the true revolution of My
Spirit, which doesn't advocate any single person or unit for their
outstanding accomplishments, but will judge you by what you
have done for the body as a whole, what you have done for
somebody else in order to help them to make it. This is not a
competition for anyone to see who gets the most accomplished.
It's a teamwork, a united effort, and I want My Family to explode
as a whole, not just a few individuals here or there.
So, the goal is not to stick out in a "behold, here I am" kind of
attitude, but to sink in, to dive into the whole body & meld in, to
blend in and to become one with My Family, to become a
strengthener of that which is feeble, not a judge. "Any element of
self is disgusting..." it doesn't belong, it only pollutes the white
linen of the righteousness of My saints, the humble & meek spirit
of unity. Any aspirations & desires to seek one's own glory are
like an abomination in My sight, and are counter-productive to
the movement of My Spirit & that which I want to bring about.
That's what it's all about... The willingness not to do or
accomplish anything outstanding, but just to do the humble
thing, the little faithful things that make this kingdom stand, to be
a nobody & be willing to do anything for anybody, anywhere, at
any time... the love that lays down its life for another. That's the
kind of love that will make it.
546 ____________________________________________________
When you feel weak, then you're actually stronger in My
sight, & when you're desperately crying out to Me because you
have just recognized that there is nothing good in you
whatsoever, then you're actually closer to Me than when you feel
like you're doing okay...
Archer will help to defend you against Baal, for he is the god of
the flesh that causes you to seek to elevate yourself above
others & make them feel inferior and hurt them, instead of
esteeming them higher than yourself & preferring them to
yourself.
Claim the keys of humility when you sense that you are about to
develop a condescending attitude towards someone.
Problems just don't go away by ignoring them. Seek Me more
desperately, seek to obey Me more desperately, seek more
desperately to stay on the straight & narrow path and to keep
clean from any inroads of the Enemy, stay clear of compromises,
and fight more whole-heartedly, if you really want a victory.
Stop merely existing & getting by! Start living! Start really
running toward the finish line and the goal! Fight to win! Mean
business! Get real! Stay on guard! Get on the attack!

"Give God all the credit all the time!" There's a reason for it,
you know? It's a security check to keep you humble. Because
otherwise, if you take even the tiniest bit of credit to yourself, it
becomes a form of worship that may seem innocent enough at
first, but pretty soon it'll grow & grow into a hole in the dyke that
will result in a catastrophic flood of evil sweeping into your life.
So, when analyzing the situation with a magnifying glass -
something that detectives following the little dog line of the Holy
Ghost sometimes do - then you can see who's the real culprit
here, namely you: you are, and always have been, your own
worst enemy.
Be merciful as I am also merciful to you and forgive you for your
sins. "I will have mercy, not sacrifice!" Forget about any
sacrifices you want to make for Me! It's mercy I want, not that
sacrifice!
548 ____________________________________________________
(Dad:) "The heart of man is desperately wicked", and you're
just no exception, son. Sometimes our own perception of
ourselves can be a little tainted, especially when we're prone to
be sensitive and thus not welcome the corrections &
suggestions others are trying to make to help point out some of
our flaws...
But the thing is, the Lord often uses weaker vessels than
ourselves to point out things to us that are wrong about
ourselves, especially in order to make sure that we don't esteem
ourselves more highly than anyone else, won't be respecters or
persons, but will receive correction as helpful hints & tokens
from anyone, great or small, old person or child. And as long as
you refuse that kind of correction, those hints the Lord often
gives especially through those that are younger & those we
wouldn't always necessarily deem "worthy" of correcting us, you
may miss some important points He may be trying to bring home
to you.
You're wondering why He didn't show you this before. Well, He
tried, through others He was using, but you weren't open to what
they had to say, because you figured because of the magnitude
of their own problems, they weren't entitled to. But see, that's not
how it works. Just because someone else has problems, too,
doesn't make everything they have to say null and void, nor does
it mean that their problems are so much bigger than yours that
they don't have a right to point out some of your own flaws...
It shows true greatness when a man is always open to correction
and constructive criticism, even if at first it may not feel that way,
and you get offended, and you wonder, "Who does he or she
think they are, anyway, to tell me what's supposed to be wrong
with me?" But when you react that way, then you know that
you've fallen into the trap of pride.
It's just so much easier to see the faults in others than to be
willing to see your own, that's human nature, and when you've
got a problem along these lines of self-righteousness, it's good
to remember, like I've often said, what a mess you yourself have
made along the same lines or in other points, and the Lord is
definitely letting you have a taste of your own "mess" right now,
& that's sometimes the only cure.
But, as always, you'll be better for it, & it's just another of the
sheer endless amount of things & events that work together for
good. In fact, this will enhance & magnify your love for the Lord,
because you'll realize how even more desperately you need Him
than you previously thought, and that will enhance the Romans
8:28 power in your life even more. The more you love Him, the
more things will work out for good for you, the better things will
work out.
Just beware of the natural man's reaction to curl up in
resignation because of your faults. You should wholeheartedly &
humbly receive them & learn from them, so you will be able to
avoid them more, in the future. Don't get into that indifferent,
"nothing really matters anyway" spirit... that's exactly what the
Devil wants, & exactly the opposite of what the Lord wants you to
do. He wants you to take a positive approach to it, to learn from
these things, to let them humble you.
I know, you didn't think you were perfect, but you thought you
had your flaws & faults & weaknesses & shortcomings all figured
out already, that you were fully aware of them, and that you didn't
need anybody to tell you anything about it. Well, you were wrong
on that one.
There are things you need to work on that you're not even aware
of, and that the Lord purposely didn't show you Himself, because
He wanted you to humbly receive them from them...
The Lord likes people to interact that way: "You receive some
correction from me, & I'll receive some from you. You help me to
see some of my weak points that I can't see myself, & I'll help you
see some of yours!" That's humility! That's unity! That's love!
Because you all have faults and weaknesses, and the Lord has
made no one sinless saints.
The Lord has blessed you with some outstanding gifts. But that
doesn't mean that He blessed you with having no weaknesses to
work on. In fact, your gifts will always make you more prone to
fall into the trap of pride than less gifted people will be, so, you
will always need some extra & additional help in order to avoid
those pitfalls.
The Lord can't make it obvious & warn you beforehand: "Okay,
now, this is going to be a test of humility, to see how much
correction you're going to be able to take from this one,
otherwise it wouldn't have been a test. The way He tests the
people is by going in clandestinely among the people: the King in
beggars' robes, which is why He said, "Inasmuch as ye have
done it unto one of the least of these My brethren, ye have done
it unto Me." You didn't think that by taking correction from them,
you were actually taking correction from the Lord, did you? Well,
but these are the ways of the Lord.
His ways often exceed our own capacities, our imagination, our
faith, our comprehension. Just to show you that you haven't
"arrived" yet, by far, that there's still lots of progress to be made,
lots of lessons to be learned, and if you think you've got it made,
get ready for a big surprise!
So, decide who and what you're going to be, decide whom you're
going to serve, who you will love and who you will hate. If you
really love the Lord, you will hate the Devil, and you won't grant
him any access or entrance into your heart, life, mind and spirit,
but you will resist him unto blood. That means, you will be
tempted to become aggravated, but you won't be aggravated.
You will be tempted to get angry, but you won't get angry. You follow in My footsteps, and you are willing to lay down your life

with a certain amount of the joy and rewards of what total
yieldedness would bring.
564 ____________________________________________________
Thank you for conveying and transmitting a picture and
impression of your situation to Me, My love. It is very touching
and special and heart-breaking. Sometimes I'm first having to
think a little bit Myself, ponder these things in My heart, receive
counsel from My heavenly counselors, who are all connected
with Me, and especially receive counsel from the Father on all
these matters. For even My omnipotence, omnipresence and
omniscience are still dependent on the Father. Although He has
given Me all power in heaven and in hell, I still need Him, you
know?
It's not like He is retiring, because I'm taking over the business.
In a way, He's still running it all; He's just letting Me do most of
the business, that's all. But there comes a point when even I have
to sit back a little and reflect, and receive some powerful input
from Him and some of the other heavenly counselors on these
matters you present to Me. It has always been that way, and it
always will be. Heaven will never be a One-Man show with one
big & all-powerful head honcho running everything. Not even the
Devil operates like that, but is smarter than to try to do it all
himself & delegates his dirty work to millions of his fallen angels.
Although he's much more of a macho & a tyrant than I have ever
been, & he's not nearly as open to counsel from others as I am.
There are so many beautiful sides & aspects to your situation, so
many facets & angles, possibilities to consider, that it even takes
Me a while of pondering and counseling with My companions and
lovers up here, including the Father, to see what is the best
option, solution and counsel we can offer you for such a complex
situation.
You see how important even your seemingly insignificant
situation is for us, and what kind of a challenge you're presenting
us with? You see how seriously We're taking all this? These
things do matter to us, My love, and they matter a lot, and I
cannot just give you a reply off the top of My head, which I hardly
ever do, anyway. Sometimes there is no rash & quick & snap
solution, and I cannot even tell you, "Do this or that & you'll be
fine..." I can only offer you suggestions.
The choice is going to be yours. Pray that I'm going to do the
miracles, the part that you cannot do... Focus on change, focus
on the spiritual needs of others, focus more outward than
inward...
I know your heartache and pain, and I can feel your burden, and
the hopelessness you feel in the impotence to do anything about
it. But there is something great, mighty and powerful you can do
about it all, and that's to pray. One of the reasons I'm letting you
get into these difficult, twisted & complicated, seemingly
impossible situations, is to have you realize that there's nothing
in the World you can do about it... except to pray!
I and the Father, and all My heavenly realm of counselors are at
your disposal, waiting for your instructions, your
communications, having you tell us what you would like us to do
about all these situations, to commit them into Our hand. If you
commit the situation into Our hands, there is so much more we
can do about it than you ever could.
There's nothing you can do, and no talking in the World is ever
going to help as much as prayer. When you have the choice
which weapon you're going to apply, prayer is the wiser choice.
We have the means to do things and set processes into motion
that you can't. We can do what you can't. No matter what We
might tell you to do, the circumstances could change and cancel
the effect of our counsel, but if you commend the situation
directly into Our omnipotent hands, We'll do something about it
against which Satan and circumstances are powerless.
We will open the right doors, instead of just pointing you toward
them. We will make things so obvious that there won't be
anymore doubt as to whether this is the right way you should
walk.
If you could only see the need for more desperate & fervent
prayer in your life! Satan would be powerless against you, and he
would just be forced to stand by in awe as you would clearly rise
above any of his ludicrous attempts to try to do anything to stop,
hinder or delay you!
The Devil has put all his money and wit onto the tactic of having
you do anything else put pray, to distract you from using this
weapon, to keep you in a state where you're content enough in
order to keep you from praying desperately & really getting ahold
of My power on your behalf!
Hearing from Me was an important step, because faith cometh by
hearing. But now you're going to have to put that faith you
acquired by hearing from Me into practice, and use it by applying
the even more powerful weapon of prayer!
Once you've got the faith that comes by hearing from Me
personally, the effect of your prayers is much greater than that of
a Christian who only has a vague idea of Me being somewhere in
heaven, and that I just might hear his prayer & perhaps do
something about it. You know that I'm right here, and we're only
waiting for your instructions to start working on your behalf! Tell
us what to do! Tell us what you want done, and if it's in line with
the Father's will, you know you have the petition you asked of
Him! This is the confidence you should have in Him!
(1.Jn.5:14,15)
The amazingly & astonishingly simple answer to your complex
conglomeration of question marks & blanks in your mind is: just
pray! It'll do more for you than you can ever think or say or know
or come up with & do yourself...

wrong way, the Lie and Death, and the more I expose him to you,
the more power you will have to expose him to others as well,
and show them what's keeping them captive.
His communication is all very one-sided, like someone who only
likes to talk about himself, and thus he's also getting people onto
his same, selfish wavelength of only wanting to talk about
themselves & all boring each other to death, when they could
find so much life, so much fun & excitement by focusing
outward, first of all on Me, and then on others, helping them to
find true purpose in Me & truly deep & satisfying things to talk
about.
That's why I'm looking for empty vessels, those who are not so
full of themselves that there's no room for more, but those who
are empty, who have found nothing in this world nor in
themselves that was able to satisfy them, for they're looking for
something higher, something better, something everlasting.
That's the difference - or one of the differences - between those
who are spiritual-minded and the carnal-minded: the carnal
minded think in earthly, temporal terms, the spiritual in terms of
eternity. They don't just settle for things that can be acquired,
achieved or accomplished in this world, but they put their money,
their time, their energy on something beyond that, something
more lasting, which is what gives them the crazy faith to reach
out to other souls and win them also for the eternal Realm.
For those that be wise in this world, the things of God are
foolishness to them, but for those who know better, all that
"wise" talk is just so much vain & empty blah. The more they
glory in their own greatness, and the greatness of their realm, the
greatness of their accomplishments, the more repulsive it
becomes to My sheep, when they hear the stranger sing songs of
praises unto himself.
They inwardly know that he doesn't cut the cake, that he's only
interested in himself, when it comes down to it, that he doesn't
have the love of God in him, and that all the things he may want
to talk about don't really satisfy that longing for everlasting
values, and so, he just bores them. On the other hand, those who
are enticed by his lures, and those who shortsightedly settle for
the cheap thrills & instant satisfaction of this world will easily
become bored by talk about spirituality. It's because they can't
relate to it because their fields of interest lie elsewhere. They
want what they can see & touch & consume right now, they
couldn't care less about eternity. All that interests them is right
here & right now, no matter how.
That's the selfish twist of the world: right here, right now, no
matter how, they've gotta have it and they're gonna, even if it
means they have to betray others to get it. Once you start
listening to their hypnotic tunes, it's very easy to become enticed
by them.
But that is why I have all the more to tell you. For receptive
vessels are rare and few.

581 ____________________________________________________
My stance on what is family and what isn't, is a little tough to
take for those who are carnal minded & put their money on this
World. Look what I asked of Abraham... That wasn't a very
"family-oriented" thing to do.
Look what I did to My own Son... Jesus: I had to forsake Him and
let Him go and suffer a cruel death at the hand of the wicked &
unbelievers. People could say, "What a Father You are, God! Tsk
tsk..."
But you see, My Family is a Family of the Spirit, and it's open to
anyone who will, anyone who would like to join it, but in order to
join it, you'll have to leave the flesh & the allures of the World at
the door. Once you have decided you want to be part of our big
heavenly Family, there are some pretty exclusive rules, and all
that hog-wash from man's carnal mind, influenced by Satan, will
have to go.
In that aspect, I'm separating the wheat from the chaff, the boys
from the girls, those who have got what it takes to believe My
radical doctrines & drink My strong wine, and those who will
have to be left at the door when the Bridegroom enters in with
only those who were wise enough to fill their lamps with the oil of
My Spirit.
They didn't persist in only burning their own smoldering wax,
running on their own carnal wisdom, but they asked Me to fill
their empty vessel with My input, to replace their vanity with that
which really counts, counsel, views & thoughts from Me, and the
more you do this, the less important the world and its views will
become to you, for the more I will matter in your life.
I am the Source of warmth & light in your life, the Source of
supply of all that you need. I take My responsibilities toward My
children, those who have chosen to become My spiritual children
by accepting My Son, Jesus, very seriously. Especially if they
have decided to trust Me for their lives.
Those who have decided not to trust Me for their lives, but make
others responsible for them, are not walking in the path of faith,
they don't have the same standard, and the rules by which they
judge are man-made, not Mine. They are not the standards of
faith, but the standard of doubt, of man caring for himself, of the
arm of the flesh saving itself.
But without faith it is impossible to please Me.
There is a difference between those who are My children and
really trust Me, and those who are My children but still primarily
trust in the flesh and refuse to trust Me.
It's better to acquire My view on things than many personal
opinions. It's better to know nothing at all except that I'll take
care of you than many of the so-called "facts" & pieces of
knowledge that make up the wisdom of man, which is
foolishness to Me.
"What fools those mortals be" who trust in their own wisdom &
rely on their own arm of flesh & say, "Mine own arm hath saved
me." Don't in any way feel inferior to those who are rich & high-
minded in this world. You have nothing but a little faith, and yet

587 ____________________________________________________
One shall chase a thousand and two shall put ten thousand
to flight. Go forth like Jonathan and his armor bearer, & find out
who is stronger. I am not limited to save by many or few. In fact,
I've always specialized in using the few: the 300 of Gideon
against the huge army of his enemies. Or when Elisha & his
servant were besieged by the enemy. If you could see in the
spirit, you would also see that they that are with you are more
than they that are with them. Your power is greater, and you just
have to grab hold of that power & believe in it & wield it & not be
swayed by physical circumstances, such as numbers, or the
flood of mental conditioning that has programmed the masses
against what you stand for.
There is still that still small voice of My Spirit that speaks to all
those who are My children. After all, the propaganda & hogwash
of the Enemy didn't prevent you from finding the truth, did it?
Even though you were raised in it. When you were confronted
with the truth, you chose to believe it, in spite of everything you
had been brought up to believe by the System.
So, what makes you think that I can't do the same thing for
others that I've done for you? What makes you doubt that I can
preserve My own unto Me? "My Father, which gave them to Me, is
greater than all, and no one will be able to pluck them out of My
Father's hand!" You have also read that nothing, no high or low
or depth, nor principalities nor powers, nor things that be nor
things to come, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate
you from the love of God! Neither shall many or few, or any
amount of Satan's propaganda and lies. My sheep will always,
still be My sheep, and they will hear My voice, and a stranger
they will not follow!
It may not be helpful from your point of view that most of My
other sheep - those of the churches - antagonize you, reject you
and despise you. But why is that? Is it because they are more
righteous than you because you believe in free love & extra-
marital sex? They may think that makes them more righteous
than you, but that's only because they are deluded & deceived.
For in reality, it is they who are the fornicators & adulterers, for
they are whoring and compromising with the System. They're not
dropped out.
They did not "come out from among them," nor did they ever
"forsake all that they have" so that they could be My disciple, nor
do they know what this means, that "all who will live godly in
Christ Jesus will suffer persecution"! To whom do those
Scriptures apply? Who are the just that live by faith? Who are the
called out ones, hated by all nations & kindreds & tongues for My
name's sake?
Now, this doesn't mean that everybody hates you, but the
majority always will. "For strait is the gate & narrow is the way
that leadeth unto life, & few there be that find it. And broad is the
way, and wide is the gate that leadeth to destruction, and many
there be which go in thereat." So, though in this world you may
be the few, the persecuted minority, be assured that they that be
with you are more and greater by far than they that be with them.
Yea, in all these things ye are more than conquerors through Him
that loved you! My love for you, and My love in you is greater
than all, and it will conquer all. Wherefore, be comforted with
these Words. Be strengthened! Wake up to who you are and to
how powerful you are, and cease from being intimidated by the
Devil's empty lies & bluffs. Sure, he can impress with his
quantities of zombies that have rejected Me and will continue to
reject Me, and trod down their path of doom. But you have
nothing to fear of them.
If anything, they are afraid of you, and your out-of-this-world
courage that they lack, to accept the truth, the naked, full impact
of the truth as to which extent they've been lied to, and not only
they, but their fathers and their fathers' fathers before them.
But this is not the first time that My children stand alone against
a vast majority of antagonistic generations. Abraham, Noah, and
a good many others were in the same boat. I know your
temptation to wonder whether so many could be wrong after all.
But that's precisely why I said that the days before My coming
would be like unto the days of Noah. When the flood came, it
washed away the entire population of the world, except for Noah
and his family. So, don't be amazed that the vast majority of
people are headed to perdition.
Why am I allowing them to be misled? Because they have chosen
to believe a lie (John 3:19).
On the other hand, the greater the darkness, the brighter the
light, and the greater the contrast between you and them, the
greater the power. Just don't be afraid to let it shine! Don't let
their darkness intimidate you, influence you, enwrap you in any
way, but pierce that light through their darkness & let it shine in
its full radiance! A city that is set on a hill can not be hid, neither
can a light be put under a bushel!
Let your light so shine before men, even if they think that your
light is darkness, or dangerous, & even if they may not all glorify
your Father when they see your good works, which they may not
consider that good in their warped minds. But let their minds not
influence you, but know who you are, what you are and Who you
are serving, and one of these days, they're going to see the truth,
and they will glorify Me and the Father then, for you, and the
mercy that you have brought to them, even if they didn't
recognize it. Even if they don't receive Me or your full message, if
they will even only give you a cup of water or any token of
hospitality, they will glorify the Father one day for the good work
you did in letting your light shine before them, and they will be so
grateful they did not reject you, even if they couldn't handle your
message yet.
Know who you are in spirit: the only real alternative to the Devil's
System & Matrix, and while there will be those that will reject you
and some will only receive you in part and somewhat hesitantly -
remember that they'll be rewarded for whatever good they do you
- but there will also be those who will have been waiting for you.
They may not show it at first, & it won't always be easy, but
something inside them will cause them to receive you, as you
have received Me.
588 ____________________________________________________
I will empower you. The Devil is such a liar, such a swindler,
a real boogie man, trying to scare you out of the things I would
have you do, before you even get started, in hopes that you
never will.
Everyone has their little mountains to climb in life. They may
seem ominous & unconquerable from down below, but once you
start climbing, you'll see it's actually much easier than you
thought, because you'll find Me and countless helpers right by
your side, making it almost too easy for you.
All that really suffers & goes down is your pride. Tell Me what to
do about your pride; whether we should just leave it in peace,
there in that cozy, dark corner of your life, & not disturb it, or
whether we should chase it out, stir it up & get it out into the
sunlight, where it's going to shrink & disappear like a vampire in
the daylight!
If there's anything that vampires are good symbolisms of, it's
pride. It sucks. It's sucks & drains your life-blood, hiding away in
a coffin in some dark place of your life when you're working for
Me and exposing yourself to My sunlight. But as soon as the sun
is gone, it'll come out & try to suck your blood & turn you into a
zombie that sucks instead of gives, draining the life-blood of
others, too, instead of giving your blood to them, as I did. It's the

I never demanded anyone's blood, but I gave Mine freely, & even
told My disciples that they would have no part in Me unless they
would eat My flesh & drink My blood, which turned quite a few of
them away from Me temporarily!
They did come back later when they realized what I had meant by
this, when they saw, & when the Holy Spirit revealed it to them,
how the Scriptures had to be fulfilled & how I had to give My life,
in order to save them, that by My blood they were going to be
saved, no other way.
Some had expected the Messiah to be a great deliverer in the
flesh, who would cast off the Roman yoke from their neck. But I

yoke of their own sins. That is not something that appeals to

Whenever you come upon a challenge that's too big for you I
want you to turn around & give it back to Me. No problem in the
world is too hard for Me to handle, & I just want you to learn to
use My strength, My love, My understanding, instead of your own
capacities. That's why I'm letting you run into challenges &
situations I know you can't handle on your own.
I'm allowing all this as a test for you. I'm in total control. This
situation is engineered by My hand to see how you'll handle it,
whether you'll bring the problem to Me to solve it & use My
strength, or you just give up in the sheer hopelessness of not
being able to handle this in your own strength.
I never was in the business of showing off how smart I am, since
I figured there were already more than enough people trying to
do that. So next time you feel tempted to make a silly joke on
someone else's behalf, skip that opportunity to make yourself
look smart & score another point on your humility chart instead.
What people in the world consider smart sometimes, We, Up
Here in heaven often call downright dumb, because a lot of times
those smart jokes or witty remarks just cause others pain, which
is a pretty dumb thing to do by heavenly standards. That's
another area in which you have to learn to put on My mind, & not
be subject to your own, old way of thinking.
Call on the keys of submission & subjection for your tongue, and
yield that little member to Me, so that you only speak when
spoken through by Me. "In the multitude of words there wanteth
not sin."
606 ____________________________________________________
I'm showing you how much more understanding, patience &
longsuffering is to be expected of you. If I don't show you to what
heights you've still got to grow, how will you ever make the
necessary progress?
Radical, supernatural changes are required to make radical,
supernatural progress! You can't do it yourself. What they need
is a love that by far exceeds your own finite capabilities, & you're
only going to get the stamina you need by plugging into Me first
thing, before you make your clumsy attempts to lift them up. You
can't do it without Me. The only way you're ever going to love
anyone enough, & the way they need to be loved, is through Me
& by My spirit of power & love & of a sound mind.
The only real & true & lasting cure is My love, & you're only going
to get that from Me. You can't feed a starving soul from empty
pockets.
You've got to have it first, in order to give it. You can't love in the
flesh, you can't perform a miracle of My Spirit in the flesh, and I
have ordained it to be purely a work of My Spirit from A to Z.
That's just the way it is... You've got to come & get it from Me. I've
ordained it that way to prevent you from ever thinking it's you.
It's not in you, it's not in you, it's only in Me!
It's true: you don't have enough love! Just admit it.
There's another good reason for really making sure you get
ahold of Me first thing every day, because if you don't, you know
you're gonna make a mess of things, & no matter how hard you
try, you're never going to manage to say or do the right things.
Without Me ye can do nothing!
In order to love your neighbor as yourself, you've first got to love
Me & get filled up with My love for them. Nothing is impossible
with God, but for you, everything is impossible without God!
I can let the world get away with operating in the flesh, because
they live in the flesh & they love in the flesh. But I have called
you to live in the spirit, to be one of those who will prove in the
ultimate showdown of all ages in this Battle of flesh vs. spirit,
that the spirit ultimately is stronger. The flesh may look as if it
has got the upper hand for the longest time, but in the end, the
hare never made it, but the tortoise did. The flesh may think of
itself as invincible and all-powerful, but it isn't.
You want love? Come & get it! I can give it to you! Your spirit is a
wonderland that I can fill with My love & light. Otherwise - without
My infilling, it'll just be cold & dark & useless. There's no way
you're ever going to have enough love without coming to Me first
to get it. I am the Bread of life! Unless you eat Me, you're going to
faint! How do I give power to the faint & strength to those that
have no might? The same way you gain physical strength by
eating food & taking in physical nourishment! You've got to eat
Me, just the way you eat your food, if you want Me to do you any
good. If you get hungry you eat, right? So, if you feel like you're
running low on spiritual energy & "lovability," just stop & take a
break & take a bite of Me! Come, "taste & see that the Lord is
good."
Your great & "unbearable" dilemma is actually the best & most
perfect way possible for Me to show you just how desperately
you need Me. Can you see now how perfectly I'm in control of
absolutely every aspect of your life? If you give Me your life, I'll
take it! I won't just ignore you & have you go on business as
usual. Everything starts to make sense, if you care to find out!
607 ____________________________________________________
One simple way you can stay on My wavelength is by
praising Me. Whenever you can't pray without ceasing, praise
without ceasing.
You'll keep the Enemy & his bad spirits away & safeguard your
own spirit & tongue that way, and you'll make sure that whatever
you do is bathed in My Spirit, a positive & grateful attitude.
There's a lot to do, that's why it's specially important to make
sure you stay in My Spirit.
608 ____________________________________________________
Take Me with you! Don't let our communication go under in
all the stress & the distractions! Remember to live each day as if
it were your last. Like this you won't miss any golden opportunity
to get in a witness. You've got nothing to lose, so don't be afraid
or ashamed to talk about Me! You can only gain by it, & so will
they, even if they initially might resist it!
Keep up the spirit of giving. It's the warmth that will draw them to
the fire! It's not always that easy to get a fire going. You
sometimes have to keep feeding it for quite a while until it'll
finally really burn. But that fire will come in really handy when the
World's other sources & means to create heat artificially will have
run out, & the lights go out!
Your light & your fire may seem rather insignificant right now, but
it'll really light up the landscape then, when the darkness comes.
Prepare for it, and help others to prepare for it! The best possible
way to prepare for it is by establishing a living relationship with
Me. Encourage others to do that!
Show them that it's possible to talk to Me, hear from Me, to be
loved by Me and to receive whatever they might need straight
from Me. All they've got to do is to invest in My currency, faith.
They've got to invest a bit of their time & their hearts & their
energies into My currency of faith that will withstand the tests
when all the other currencies of this world will have been
consumed by the fire of judgment.
One doesn't have to be perfect or holy or a sinless saint in order
to hear My voice & love Me intimately... I have chosen earthen
vessels for My treasures, that others might have hope, too.

"A disciple is someone whose primary goal in life is to serve God
and not mammon." Is your promary goal to serve Me, and not
mammon?
Every penny in the service of mammon is hard earned by bearing
the heavy yoke of mammon, while every cent I bless you with in
My service, that is being given to you in return for My Words and
Family tools is a testimony to My great power of supply, My
power to lift you up. My yoke is so easy, it can help you fly!
Putting on My yoke is almost like putting on a pair of wings, in
comparison to the heavy, steely yoke of the System and
mammon, who will squeeze every drop of energy out of you in
return for every penny you earn. That money just disappears
again, as it develops eagle's wings itself & disappears into this
hole or that, this bill or that need... it never stops; it's a vicious
cycle & a deadly trap!
Step out of that treadmill! And step out on the water of My will for
you!
Don't lose sight of the goal, the vision I've given you!
Establish a ministry that's really going to spread My Word & My
message, & stop compromising for gain.
Do something for Me, that's going to make an obvious difference!
Show & prove that you're actually going to take up your cross &
follow Me, spreading My message of truth to the lost & hungry
sheep & being a ray of light in a dark & dreary world!

613 ____________________________________________________
Resign to your fate & fate will accept your resignation!
Resigning to your fate is the exact opposite of what I have been
trying to teach you. Resigning to your fate means yielding to
your circumstances instead of availing yourself of My power to
change them.
It's conforming with & settling for the "prison for your mind" that
the Devil has constructed for you, your personal little "matrix."
Some tests do re-occur, sometimes time & again. You all have
your besetting sins.
If you endure hardness as a good soldier of Mine, I can
encourage you that there WILL be an end to those trials & battles
& sufferings.
Do you still believe that I am all-powerful? Or do you think, "Nah,
the Lord can do quite a lot, but not this thing..."? It's still
according to your faith. Do you believe?

26 ___________________________________________________
Faith is a gift of My grace, & nothing you can work up in the
flesh, or pride yourself in, nor give yourself the credit for. Nor can
you blame others or criticize them or look down on them for
having "less" faith, because faith is a tricky thing that only
shows its true value in the thick of the testing, and some who
thought they didn't have any all of a sudden find themselves with
a lot more than those who thought they had a lot...
You can't lean on anything you've got, that you've accumulated
or acquired on your own over time, not even your faith, your
knowledge of the Word, much less your mind or your wits or
your own goodness, but the only thing you've really got - and all
you really need, at the same time - is Me!
I'll be there to give you faith when you've got no faith! I'll be there
to give you love, when you've got no love - strength, when you've
got none of your own... I don't want you to boast in your faith. I
only want you to boast in Me.
It's all a work of My grace: your love for Me, your faith in Me, and
everything, and you have nothing more of anything than anybody
else that wouldn't have been given you by Me, purely by grace
alone.
Sure, it helps if you ask Me for these things, but since you
thought you already had a lot of faith, you didn't ask Me for more.
Faith to do the the works of Him that sent you, to put those
Words into action, to do those things which you hear from Me, is
a faith you have not naturally in you, so you must beg Me for it!
What is it that converts lifeless faith into a living, fruitful, visible
faith? The works by which it is manifested. The very same works
by which every man shall be judged by Me. The works in which
you manifested, proved & showed your faith to the world!
First rank the apostles, who give out My Words, the prophets,
who receive My Words, rank second.
It all amounts to 3 words: trust and obey. You cannot pretend to
trust. Either you do or you don't. And if you do, it will also be a
lot easier for you to obey. Neither can you pretend to obey. Either
you do those things I told you, or you do them not. And that's
what's going to determine what kind of a man you will have been
in the end. Not what I have told you, but whether you have done
what I told you! And if you don't find in you the faith to do what
I'm asking of you, ask Me for it! Remember, I'll be there to give
you faith when you have no faith!
Humbly admit that you haven't got the faith it takes to obey Me, &
ask Me to strengthen your faith, to give you more faith, and I will.
But don't ever pretend to have when you haven't got what it
takes... Some things you've still got to ask Me for. Don't forget
Me, the main factor in the whole picture!
Straight to Me - that's where I want you to run, to turn, to look for
every solution to every problem. I'm right here! Why try to work
up faith for a situation yourself when all you've got to do is hand
it over to Me & then trust Me that I'm gonna take care of it?
27 ___________________________________________________
I'm more than just a fairy tale. I'm a real factor in your life, &
heavily involved in it! The Enemy's influences in your life at times
seem more real to you than I. They achieve this just by stopping
you from praying! They do it subtly, and over a long time. They
make you too lazy, or undermine your faith in prayer somehow,
or they tell you there's no need, or make you feel condemned so
you won't consider yourself worthy of asking Me anything...
many different tricks & schemes... Attacks of doubt,
discouragement, delusion, depression... Once you finally do call
out to Me in desperation, & ask Me to save you, I come through
for you & will be the sunshine after a rainy day for you, and more.
I will flood you with miracles, solutions & answers that will make
you wonder how you could ever have doubted Me in the first
place.
Am I not truly all you need? Just give Me a chance, & I will prove
it to you over & over again!
Sometimes it's even all My good gifts to My children that distract
them from Me, and they start giving more attention to all the toys
& gifts & tools I've given them than to Me. But it's war time now,
time to attack, and the time for toying around is over! I need you
to put your weapons & gifts to use now, get them out there on
the battle field, and use them to win souls & free the captives, do
My job & reap the harvest.
It's time to get serious about what I've given you all these things
for, your experience, your talents, your gifts, knowledge, wisdom,
faith, the weapons of prayer and My Word, and it's time to break
free from any chains of the Enemy and explode into freedom, and
be the revolutionaries you were ordained to be.
"Forward, march!" is the motto of the day! Time to attack! Testing
& training time is over. All further training will happen right on
the field, where you will see and experience it much more
intensified, much more real.
I've been preparing you, and it's time to take the theory & put it
into practice.
Don't look at the wind, don't look at the waves, don't look
whether the others are catching on. Don't worry, you won't be left
alone! You're not alone in this fight, & there's a mighty army right
behind you, right beside you, and right in front of you!

"As they went, they were healed. You've got to do the wenting.
Once you get in motion, each will find their calling, their strength
& personal ministry. What matters is that you get going.
Sometimes, in order to get a car started or a boat off shore, all
hands on deck have to get out & push, even the driver, or the
captain, & once the vehicle or vessel is underway, each one can
assume the position they're best at.
To get your boat going, you might have to make a sacrifice & do
what you don't feel to be your calling so strongly, even if it's
something you don't like to do or you have trials doing. There is
simply a greater need to witness right now than for anything else.
Because there's such a need right now to save the lost souls
which are otherwise going to be lost to Me for this age, I'm
calling all hands on deck. It's an emergency situation, a red alert
kind of situation, where even the captains have to pitch in and
row the life boats in order to get them saved.
There are times when one has to forsake their personal calling in
order to heed and obey the great & general call to go & seek &
save that which is lost.
I called My disciples to become fishers of men. Fishing is a skill.
You can't just stand there in the middle of the brook or river or
lake or sea & wait for the fish to jump into your net. It takes a
little skill to trick them into the net, a certain way to swing the
fishing rod, or to cast your net in the right way, without scaring
the fish away.
This is going to simply require practice and the leading of My
Holy Spirit. You can't look at them like a prophet of doom or
judgment, or they'll be scared off. You've got to look at them with
love. Remember they're lost sheep, & you're trying to restore
them to the Great Shepherd.
I know it won't all be easy & will be somewhat new for you, not
your usual routine, but just trust in Me, and I will help you make
it!
29 ___________________________________________________
On the subject of depression, the person under attack has to
start out by making a decision to do something positive about
the state they're in. First of all, they need to realize that they're
under the attack of the Enemy, and that they're responsible
themselves to do something to fight him, they can't pin that
responsibility on anyone else or make anyone else responsible
for it. It's their battle, and they're responsible to get the victory.
Sure, they can ask for help, but they can't use it as an excuse to
get even more down to say, "Boohoo, nobody's helping me to get
the victory..."
They've got to make the choice & the decision that they don't
want to remain in that state & so they say, "I refuse to stay in this
condition," and accordingly go on the attack with positive action,
whatever they may be capable of at the moment, be it getting into
the Word, praising Me or asking for prayer.

invitation to have me work in your life and reveal things to you,
we can accomplish a lot & take great strides & bring about much
positive change & progress!
Accept change as something good, something necessary,
something wonderful in your life, and receive it with arms wide
open, just like a baby. A baby brings lots of changes into your
life, and that's why children are becoming so unpopular in
today's society, who constantly resist change & fear not God.
That baby may only be a small source of noise & trouble in your
life today, eating up your resources today, and making you
wonder what else it could possibly be good for, besides giving
you trouble, but a look into the future with the eyes of the vision
that I can give you, of what that baby can become one day, if
you'll only rear it with the right kind of attitude, will give you a
completely different outlook.
And so it is with the changes I bring into your life. They may look
a little disturbing to you now, maybe useless, eating up your
energy and resources, costing you effort to dress & feed them,
but in the future, if you keep feeding and seeing them through
with the right kind of spirit & attitude, you will see that it will truly
have been for the best.
Change is really the opposite of the Devil's spirit of stagnation.
Although he pretends to be the great pioneer of change &
progress in the World & accuses Christians & believers of being
old-fashioned, in the spirit his philosophy is really old and rotten,
and the same kind of selfish & greedy philosophy he has been
introducing since the beginning.
That's the difference between looking with the eyes of the spirit
and merely seeing things with the carnal mind. The eyes of faith
will reveal the way things really are. And I can take things a step
further & not only show you the way things are in the spirit, but
also the way they're going to be or are supposed to be in the
future, if you take all the right steps of faith & eagerly walk in the
direction of the changes I want to bring into your life.
Ask yourself everyday, what can we change today in order to
make things better? Be open to me, welcome me, call on me to
reveal to you all the many things that could be changed. Tell your
loved ones about the benefits of tuning in to me, too, that they
don't need to dread me; I mean them no harm. I never take
anything away from you without the plan of turning it into
something better.
I work on behalf of the Lord in your lives, so, any change
happening in your lives is going to be for good and for the better.
Just be sure you also call on the Lord for wisdom and
discernment for which possible changes are really the best to
further His cause, because the Enemy might try to distract you
with some of his lukewarm alternatives, or even tempt you to go
overboard. Everyone has to go according to their own pace.
Most of these things happen in your life, whether you're aware of
them or consent to them or not. But the Lord, in His love, wants
you to be aware of them so that they are going to benefit you
more, you will know more of what's happening, what He's doing
in your life, and in giving us your cooperation, it's going to be a
lot easier on you and us. He's trying to get you to not only
passively and reluctantly accept changes, but to actively use
them as a weapon to go on the offensive.
An attack is definitely a change, isn't it? It may be a passive
attack, as in when you're being attacked by the Enemy, or it can
be an active one, when you take the initiative, but in both cases,
it signifies change. In the first scenario, change is inflicted on
you, and you must take it passively. In the second, you determine
what impact the change is going to have. You take the initiative,
leave your camp and go out to "change the world!"
The Lord is talking about the merging of the dimensions, that's a
change you're helping to bring about by your obedience to do
what you can to change the world! You're sowing the seeds of
the Lord's spiritual love, which will grow & blossom into little
trees & flowers & buds here & there until finally, one day, the
whole world will be covered by spirit trees. It's an explosion! Just
that it seems to be happening very slowly to you, and it's a
process that continues over generations.
Just like the Devil's people have been working over generations
in order to establish Satan's kingdom on Earth, so we have been
working on establishing God's Kingdom, and you know which is
going to be the one that's gonna last!
So, keep changing! Keep revoluting! Keep revolving and
evolving, growing and splitting your cells, multiplying & bringing
about that which the Lord has ordained to become! "Thy
Kingdom come!"
That's what we're all working towards. If you keep this motto in
your head, one of the basic & fundamental factors & essential
points the Lord has established for His followers to pray for, then
you'll also know what to pray for (and, after all, prayer is one of
the mightiest weapons by which change is brought about), and
what to work towards, what to strive for!
Find the kind of changes the Lord wants you to make, the kind of
initiative He wants you to take, and what kind of actions & steps
He wants you to take each day to bring you a step closer toward
that final goal: "Thy Kingdom come!" One of the primary
requisites in order to bring that about is what follows next in the
Lord's prayer: "Thy will be done!" You've got to yield, submit &
surrender to His will, in other words, be willing to accept & make
the changes He wants you to have or make in your life, and
remember that it's better to make changes than merely taking
them.
If you make changes instead of merely taking and accepting
them as they come, then you take the initiative, and you call the
shots, you're on the offensive, and not on the defensive, which is
exactly what the Lord is shooting for. Keep working toward that
final goal. Take action! Action through prayer is fine for starters,
& then, as you go & continue to grow stronger & stronger,
wielding the weapon of change, you'll also break out into
enacting other changes, by some real, Spirit-powered action!
That's the principle. Now you've just got to apply it!

(Windsor Elerian:) You have always been a freedom lover, but
you have let the Enemy cheat you out of that freedom a few
times.
His deals offer you comfort & "safety" - a relative amount of
"peace," but it's that false peace that is exposed as idolatry.
Wrong attitudes, aggressions, bitterness & pride affect your
freedom more than any person ever can.
Your bondage lies in the fear of man, and the fear to lose your
last bit of respect and reputation; in the fear of what men might
think of you, a fear born of pride.
The Lord is going to continue to lead you out of the entangled
mess of the System, the labyrinth of bondage, and I am right here
to act as your scout. I beckon you to follow me on the way

41 ___________________________________________________
Stretch your faith & reach out for the goal of greater miracles!
I have spoken about raising the dead & healing the blind & sick,
and I want you to raise your goal to that level, not stay on the
same kindergarten or pre-school level forever. I want you to
progress, to focus on higher goals, and to have the faith for Me
to overcome any & all impossibilities. I want you to realize that
there are no barriers that can hold you back, whether it be a poor
physical state, a poor or even shattered personal relationship, or
a poor financial status. I want you to be fully aware & conscious
of the fact that I am able and willing to alter your conditions
favorably for you at any time and in any situation, especially
when you're determined to do My will and to use that gift in order
to further My cause & seek not your own.
I want you to get over & past the point of worrying about your
physical needs to a state where you regard them as way below
the priorities of My agenda in your life. "Seek ye first the
Kingdom of God... & all these things shall be added unto you."
It's a good time to apply the power to rise above when you're
down & you can't go on! It's a good time for Me to do a miracle
when you find yourself in an impossible situation. See the
opportunity instead of the difficulty.
Focus on Me and My bright opportunity even in this seemingly
dark & bleak situation. I have told you, your redemption draweth
nigh, & whom the Son hath made free, the same shall be free
indeed. The Devil tries to defeat those statements of Mine
wherever he can, and you wonder where is that great liberty &
freedom I have announced?
You can only see the things which are keeping you bound in the
physical, but I'm using those physical confinements in order to
set you free from those things which really bind you, spiritually.
You're like the Jews who were expecting Me to free them
physically from the Romans, when I had come to free them
spiritually, from their sins. Now, which is the greater freedom?
That's why I said, whom the Son hath made free shall be free
indeed. Whoso committeth sin, the same is the servant of sin.
Thank Me for My correction, and if I have called you to be a
servant or a slave, seek not to be loosed, but trust Me that I have
chosen the best path & destiny to make you what you're
supposed to become. And be hopeful, because I have said "your
redemption draweth nigh," but don't become impatient if it's not
quite here yet. You can see the light on the horizon, but it still
takes a little while until it's fully day.
A new day will come. A new page will be turned over. A new book
will be written, and things will have changed. In the meantime,
pray for those changes to come to pass, which you can see now
only in the distance, on the horizon. Don't fret or get impatient,
but pray them through!
I will make these things & changes come about in My perfect
time, you can just focus on them in faith, patience and trust, and
help bring them about by faithful prayer.
There is a purpose in all the bleakness and the hardship.
Be sober & vigilant, mindful of the roaring lion that goeth about,
seeking whom he may devour, but also fully in knowledge of the
fact that I have given you the victory over him, and I won't let you
be his next meal!
You wonder how I could possibly have arranged all these
dreadful & awful situations to work out for best. All this ugliness
doesn't look too much like it's been arranged & conceived in
heaven. Well, but when a baby is first conceived it may not
always be a pretty sight in its embryonic state. And even a
newborn isn't all that pretty. It takes time until you recognize the
beauty in it.
Or a picture when you first start, or when you record or write a
song. So it is with My sometimes unconventional & not-so-
promising looking ways & plans in your life. "Just wait & see!"
You may not think this is going to turn out very good, but just
wait & see! Sometimes it takes faith to trust that a God of Love is
doing all this, all those things that don't seem to make any sense
to the human mind.
What you consider unclean, I have often called clean.
I'm giving you the light at the end of the tunnel to look forward to.
Just keep walking. There's going to be some more darkness to
get through, some more pain, but if you keep your eyes on the
light at the end of the tunnel, or on the rising sun on the horizon,
although you may barely only see its first few rays of light, hold
on to that promise, and you know it's going to be good.
Everything's gonna be alright.
My Words aren't just empty words. They're real, & they're going
to come true. You've got the truth, because I'm not a liar. A lot of
other people are still wondering what the truth is, or may be
completely oblivious to the truth, constantly & perpetually
deceived by the old liar, but I have given you the truth! The truth
shall make you free! That's what it is that makes you free indeed.
All I have to offer you is the truth! But the truth is all you need in
a world of lies, in order to cut through & rise above.
The truth and the knowledge of the truth will help you rise above
and free you from all the confines, simply because you're
realizing that they're living a lie. You've got to expose the lie and
the wrongs before the truth can really set you free. I'm freeing
you from the wrongs & lies in your own mind, heart & attitudes
right now, and you will be made free indeed. Take My Word for it.
42 ___________________________________________________
Remember to praise Me and thank Me for what you do have,
for if you don't continually appreciate the fact that things could
be worse, I might have to allow them to become worse, just in
order to prove it to you, that you did have a lot of reasons to be
thankful. You must use the weapon of praise, as I have said, you
must use all the New Weapons, and remember to integrate your

59 ___________________________________________________
"If you don't get alone with the Lord and lick the Devil first,
you might as well forget it!" How true! If I had to do it, go out into
the wilderness, in order to resist the temptations of the Enemy
and overcome him once and for all, how much more so will you
have to do it.
Fighting and resisting the Devil instead of giving in to his
temptations and nudges is what it's all about. Not missing the
mark (the essence of "sin") because you've allowed the Enemy to
distract you, that's what it's all about. It means sharpening your
focus. Fighting with all that's within you to drown out the voices
that would tear you away from what's really relevant. Cutting out
all the frills, the things all around the true essential & center of
the meaning of life, and instead of just circling all around it or
hitting the spots all around it, hitting straight into the bulls eye...
I am the Target! If you will focus on Me long enough, if you just
manage to hold still long enough and to not give in to all the
voices reminding you of this or that or the other you could do, if
you just stay clearly focused on Me, barring everything else from
your mind, you will hit the mark!
It all depends on how seriously you want it! If you want it badly
enough, you will stay focused on it, you won't let anything else
distract you from it. But if you do allow other matters to distract
you, then it just shows that it wasn't all that important to you to
begin with, in other words, other things are still more important
to you than I am.
You've got to deal with the Devil & make it clear between him and
you on whose side you stand, and that he won't have a chance
anymore trying to get you over to his side. Otherwise he'll keep
trying and trying. This battle is inevitable.
The answer lies in giving up what you are, surrendering your old
man, to be totally absorbed by Me.
Why keep getting stuck with the affairs and matters of the Matrix
when I have revealed to you the secrets of the Big Picture, the
larger layer that even engulfs the Matrix, and is a much higher
Reality than the Devil's fake? Why not shoot and aim for the Real
Thing? Why let the Enemy distract you with his offers of truce
and betrayal so that you can benefit from the "blessings" and
fake steaks of the Matrix?
He tempted Me. "You don't have to go through all this suffering!
You can stop it all right now! Make an end of all this nonsense!
Life is to be enjoyed..." Life was meant to be enjoyed, but never
on his terms!
I'm trying to get you to make the transition from enjoying the
prosperity you gain by compromising and relying on the arm of
the flesh, to the prosperity that comes from truly enjoying all
things from My hand, the rewards I give to those who obey Me.
Those who stay faithful to Me and trust Me, those who remain
because there's nowhere else to go, are much better off than
those who prefer to secure their living with their own abilities.
Things are very, very tough, sitting on the fence between serving
Me and him. You'll either accept the deal he has to offer you that
will give you his prosperity at the price of virtually your soul - the
lack of ability to love - or you'll send him to hell and get on My
bus & get busy serving Me & start do what I recruited you to My
army for!
Obstacon is tempting you with the "good" options of the 2nd
best! - In reality, the 2nd best presents an obstacle that will stop
you from reaching the very best.
If you're serving Me from a platform, a ministry where you right
away come all out with what you stand for, as you do when
witnessing, it's just so much more conducive to true success
and what I call bearing fruit than the way where you just present
yourself and your abilities in the limelight, and you're so
concerned about your image & reputation that you only dare to
speak up about your beliefs once a rare & exceptional situation
comes up!
Bring My glory into your life by telling people about it.
It activates My power in your life when you decide to obey Me
and take up your cross, deny yourself and lay down your life for
Me! Experience the power of obedience! Find out what miracles I
am capable of working for you!
60 ___________________________________________________
You've got to trust Me, that even this dark chapter in your life
will work together for good, & that My hand is upon you for good
and not evil. My thoughts toward you are thoughts of love &
mercy, not of punishment, and if I'm allowing this, it's only for
your best.
It's making you stronger, and that's what it's all about:
strengthening. The easy way is one of the surest ways to be led
astray. If it's tough & difficult and you cling to My hand in
desperation for every step of the way, knowing that otherwise
you won't make it, then you can be pretty sure that you're on the
right path, and that this is My way for you.
Trust that it's not evil or bad, but ultimately for your good!
It's just one of those lessons in life ordained to make you
stronger.
I'm all that you have and all you can rely on! This will strengthen
your dependence on Me more than anything else.
Never let your guard down, never take your focus off of Me.
Lean fully on Me and Me alone. Permanently put Me first.
We're progressing from the theoretical to the practical realm,
where the consequences for failing to learn and apply the lesson
will be more drastic and tangible. I want you to rely on Me.
Only I can hold you up.
My jealousy is good for you! It's not destructive! My jealousy will
prevent you from leaning on someone else but Me, which is not
good for you.
We're trying to strengthen the things that remain, and that is
faith, trust and reliance on the Eternal, not on man, or anything
else that is temporal.
61 ___________________________________________________
Your life could be much steadier in My joy, in trust in Me and
in confidence & faith, more steady in flowing with the Holy Spirit,
if you would make Me a more integral part of your life at every
moment.
My company brings you such joy & peace. Why do you seek
satisfaction elsewhere when it has proven over & over again to
be futile? Come running into My arms, just the way you are, just
you, no false pretenses, cover-ups, no self-worked-up
goodness... I don't need any frills, no fancy ado, all I want is you,
just you!
Just follow My leadings instead of drifting around aimlessly,
waiting for some gust of wind to pick you up, for some
circumstance to open or shut a door before you...
I am the Creator of all circumstances, and the great Coordinator
of it all, so, why not avail yourself of My service?
Just make it a habit to come back to Me as regularly as you eat a
snack or you go to the bathroom or you put another log of wood
onto the fire in your stove... In order to keep the fire burning
you've got to keep feeding it, lest it go out & you freeze
spiritually....
How much you get from Me is only limited by your own faith.
The rule is simple: ask and it shall be given you. Those are the
only conditions. You need to ask. You don't run after your child
all day long & ask, "What is it you'd like now... Do you want this?
Do you want that?" The best is, not to spoil them too much, but
let them ask if they want something. You can lead them in a
certain direction, as to what the available options are, but they've
got to do the asking themselves... usually.

That vacuum, the emptiness, the drawing power and hunger
for Me is the prerequisite for receiving anything from Me, for the
rich I have sent empty away but fill the hungry with goods.
I know what you need, even before you utter it, and when you
don't know what to ask, My mercy is greater than your inability.
I'm going to prove My love to you if you do as much as call out to
Me and expect Me to answer. I will not disappoint you! I want to
prove as false all the doubts the Enemy plants in your mind.
You must trust Me that while things are tough for you, they are
the best for you, much better than if I would spoil you with an
easy life.
Comparing with others who seem to be having it easier on the
surface, won't do you any good, and you'll be amazed to find out
that there's a different story beneath every surface. You just have
to trust in My fairness.
Living by faith in the communal life-style of the Family has its
advantages. I can provide much better for My children than you
can for yourselves in your own efforts.
The life of faith is the better option. All the working hard in the
flesh for material gain is in vain, and I can supply and provide for
you much more abundantly and in greater ease than you can by
means of the flesh.
Of course, you're going to have to do for it what I'm asking you to
do, and not cling to those activities which don't further My
cause... I have certain expectations from you, who have decided
to follow and serve Me.
My expectation is that you bear fruit.
63 ___________________________________________________
Where I guide, there I'll provide, and I'll make a way where
there is no way. But you must believe that I will, and use your title
deed of the thing you're hoping for and act knowingly that you
possess the thing you're asking, and thus move forward in
expectation.
That means, you will make the necessary preparations, like the
girl who was called to be a missionary but didn't have the funds
to go, but she believed & packed her things & the day she stood
at the train station, ready to go, I supplied the funds
miraculously. Or like the little girl who took an umbrella and rain
coat to the prayer meeting for rain...
You must have more crazy faith & not let the circumstances &
"voices of reason" intimidate you. Crazy faith is what's going to
be needed in the future, and the sooner you exercise yourself in
it, the better off you're going to be.
64 ___________________________________________________
When you're feeling most useless I can usually use you most,
whereas during those times when you think you're actually
accomplishing something, our communication sometimes comes
to a halt.
It's the "arm of the flesh" syndrome, and precisely the reason
why I'm having to make you the nothing I need you to be in order
to make you into the something I want, the useful vessel, tool &
instrument for Me.
I use it to show you how nothing you are, how helpless and
hopeless, without Me.
The truth is, that nobody, no matter how high and mighty they
may feel in this life, can stand without Me and My help, and
they're all just as hope- and helpless as you are, they just may
not know it yet. So, you've really got the advantage there. You
know something they don't know yet, which helps you to prepare
for what's coming, which means that you're actually ahead of
them.
In your hopelessness and in your desperation you find Me, and
that's the greatest asset anyone can have in this life.
How do you become the "hope of the hopeless"? By having
experienced the hopelessness yourself first, comforting others
with the comfort wherewith you yourselves have been comforted
by Me. You "pass it on!" That's the beauty of it! It's the principle
on which the happiness and meaning of life is built, to "pass it
on."
65 ___________________________________________________
How can you say you love God, Whom you haven't seen, if
you cannot love your brother (or sister) whom you have seen?
Becoming a missionary starts at home.
If they can't even tell that you love them, what's the use of all the
preaching in the world?
Love your brother or sister for Me. If your unity and your bond of
love with your brother or sister is okay, then you can be pretty
sure that your love bond with Me is doing okay, because I want
you to manifest your love for Me in your love for the brethren.
Let a new era in your life begin, a new era of love. In order to
really make it happen, you've got to proactively fight for it &
make it happen, realizing that the unity & love you have for each
other is one of the most effective weapons you have got in your
arsenal.
Make love your life, your goal, your ambition, and unity your
treasure, which you're going to shield and guard zealously. Be a
shepherd that lays down his life for his sheep, and let them know
that and feel that beyond a shadow of doubt.
Lovest thou Me? Love My sheep!

I'm Your emergency rescue squad. Whenever you call Me &
send Me your SOS, I'll be right there. I have not come to save the
healthy, but the sick, not the strong, but the weak.
You've got to continue to pour yourself out. Just showing the
way won't do the trick with some, they want you to walk with
them.
You've got to let them wear you out just like I did, because the
way up is down. I let them waste Me, devastate Me, completely
wear Me out & wipe Me out, but in this I found the strength that
never runs out. I was willing to give all, not holding back, and in
return I received all.
It's humbling when you find yourself unable to give as much as
they demand, when you fall short of their expectations, but it just
shows that what you need cannot come from yourself, but from a
Source that is greater than you. If you can't give enough, turn to
the Source that never runs dry.
You can live up to the demand through Me. It has nothing to do
with the way you feel, faith cannot be based on feelings.

The natural & carnal man is at enmity with God, and so in the
flesh it's impossible to live godly. You'll only have the grace to
endure and then even enjoy the life-style I have chosen for My
disciples of the End if you live in the Spirit. You've got to walk in
the Spirit, be led of the Spirit. For the carnal man it's impossible
to attain. You have to let Me make you a new man, a new
creature, the spiritual man.
Unfortunately, you're only free enough from the distractions of
the flesh and this world to even be interested enough in the Spirit
to really delve in when you are going through trials &
tribulations.
It's only when you're driven to the end of yourself that you're
willing to give up everything in order to gain the new, the
unknown, that which I have to offer. But when things are going
okay, you're okay with compromise, you're comfortable with the
idea of conforming & taking any easier way out... And thus, I
simply have to send you lots of trials in order to keep you
desperate & as close to Me as I wish you to be.
You wonder, "Is that it? Is this really my destiny? Is there really
no easier way out? Am I destined to battle forever?" Well, as far
as having to fight until your dying day is concerned, yes, that's
every true warrior's destiny, and he won't mind. What matters is
that you keep fighting faithfully in whatever capacity you can,
that you do the best with the cards you've been dealt.
You just have to make sure that you get your strength for the
battle from Me every day. I wish to be the Source of all that you
long for, all that you need, and all that you dream. I don't want
you to look elsewhere for satisfaction! I want you to look to Me
for the fulfillment of your wildest dreams and trust Me that I will
bring it about as much as you can handle it in My perfect time.
Trust Me that I know a better way to happiness than the one you
would choose!

 (Windsor Elerian:) Now is the time of the harvest! It's time to
return to the vineyard of the Lord, time to get back on the wall of
the work He has called you and chosen you to do. Don't be like
the foolish virgins who would refuse to surrender to Him. For in
refusing to render your service to Him, you're like those who
refuse to yield themselves to Him, you're refusing to bear fruit to
Him.
Some are willing to receive the seed, but they are not willing to
bear the fruit, but a truly fulfilling bride for the Master is one that
both, receives His seed and bears fruit for Him. This is the
ultimate fulfillment of anyone's destiny, to bear fruit unto the
Master and Lord of all creation.
Don't be like those foolish and selfish ones who say, "I don't
want to work at bearing fruit yet for the Master. I first want to
enjoy life." What they're really saying is, "I want to be my own
master!" They don't want any master but themselves, but in this
they are putting themselves under the yoke of the Devil, the
master of selfishness and the master of one's "own way." For
there are really only 2 ways: the straight & narrow pathway of the
Lord, which is hard to find, and the large, broad highway of the
Devil, the one which the majority choose to walk.
Some have walked the path of the Lord for a while, but then
became diverted and sidetracked onto a lane that took them back
to the Devil's broadway of selfishness.
Disobedience drove them away from the true Master, and so they
wound up under the yoke of the usurper, even if only for a time,
to help them discern the difference; to melt them, break them,
humble them, teach them... whatever is necessary to make them
see the right path and to come back to the Lord's service, where
they will open up others' eyes also to the slavery of the Devil.
The way of freedom is rough, rugged and steep, but those who
are called unto freedom will always return to the road of freedom
in the end, they will never settle for the Devil's comfortable
compromise for too long, they won't fall for his counterfeit
"freedom." The freedom the Devil offers is a delusion and
deception. He is just very carefully hiding the chains attached to
his deal, but true freedom lovers won't fall for his magic tricks for
very long. Sometimes they really get entangled in a deep mess,
but they will fight for their freedom! They are the Lord's true
freedom fighters, because they will pay any price and go to any
length to first of all fight for their own freedom from the Devil's
deception, in order to then free others also.
Sometimes they need to get entangled in order to reach some in
special positions. They can point the way to freedom, and then
they "jailbreak" together, bringing others with them into freedom,
the freedom to fight for the Lord, instead of being a captive of the
Devil.
You couldn't really set others free until your eyes were open to
this fact, that you still need to make your jailbreak yourself. You
became ensnared again by the fowler! Now it's time for you to
bust out, to break the cage door open, and free many other birds
along with you. I am here to help set you free so that you might
soar up high into the wind again. So that you might become a
freedom fighter for the Lord, like me, and like all the others of His
brides, fighting for the freedom of the whole world, which is lying
in the chains of the evil one! Fighting for freedom is what it's all
about! Fight for yours and fight for theirs. You've got the
weapons of truth and love, and none of the chains or cages or
entrapments of the enemies can stand against them. You've got
the keys, which will unlock any door which might hold any of the
Lord's brides captive to the Enemy! Recognize their power and
use them to both, be set free and to set free others! This is your
destiny and high calling, there is none higher!
Follow the call and shout of your queen to freedom! Follow the
heart of your mother into total freedom, total love, total truth, free
from the chains of compromise, free from any spider webs of
half-truths, free from any poisonous gas of deceit with which the
Devil is trying to lull to sleep. Free!
Freedom is here! Take it and give it!

I'm showing you a lot about not resisting the pain but
accepting it instead.
You've all got to be willing to take the pain along with the love.
The virgin instinctively knows that she's going to be hurt by
allowing herself to be loved. But fear of pain and the decision to
resist and not allow it will only result in hardening.
76 ___________________________________________________
You want to know why I allow poverty and why I allow poor
health. "He filleth the hungry with goods, but the rich He hath
sent empty away." (Luk.1:53) "They that be whole need not a
physician, but they that are sick." (Matth. 9:12) "For the Son of
man is come to save that which was lost." (Matth.18:12)
Sometimes the way I see things is the exact opposite of the way
you see them. What you call a blessing, I call a curse many times,
and what you call a curse, I see as a blessing. "For My thoughts
are not your thoughts, neither are your ways My ways, saith the
LORD. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My
ways higher than your ways, and My thoughts than your
thoughts." (Isaiah 55:8,9)
To pass on My living Words to others and directly challenge them
from My lips will be a larger part of your ministry as time goes
on. It is My will for you that you take the time to hear from Me for
your sheep. It's part of your healing ministry to them, to heal
them with My Words of life, to heal their bodies, souls and spirits.
I have come to bring salvation to the entire man... the physical
and the spiritual. I have come to satisfy all your needs, to heal all
your ails: mental, physical, spiritual, everything.
Just as I was given the authority by My Father to forgive sins, so
I was given the power to heal not only their spirits, but also their
bodies, as a physical illustration of the spiritual healing power of
My salvation. My name means "Savior." My cry and My call to
mankind is to "Come, let Me save you!" I want to save you wholly
& entire, I want to cleanse and heal all of you, your mind, your
body, your heart, your spirit... your soul.
In this upside-down & backward world run and ruled and ruined
by the usurper, a lot is wrong with a lot of souls, and there's a lot
of healing to be done, a lot of correcting what is wrong. Just
because you have grown used to the way things are doesn't
mean that that's the way they're actually supposed to be.
I have come to bring change; a change of each & every life, a
change of direction for each & every man and woman as well as
for mankind in general. My message was and still is: "repent!"
Which means, "turn around! You're going the wrong way! You
may think you're going the right way, but I'm telling you
something different! Now, who are you going to believe? Here,
this is the right way to go: follow Me, and I'll show you!"
One of Satan's greatest and most successful weapons against
mankind is that feeling, "It feels right, so it must be right!" Or,
"This feels familiar, it feels okay, it doesn't feel strange, so it
must be the right way!" They become so familiar with the wrong
way, the Devil's way, that they actually think it's the right way.
After all, it "feels right!"
They have become alienated from the life of God because they
have neglected the Words - which are the Spirit and Life - of God.
They think they know better.
Faith is not built on feelings, but by the fact that My Word says
so. Often something you will read in My Word will cause you to
have unpleasant feelings. You may not like what I have to say.
But does this mean that what I said is wrong? Perhaps your own
attitudes have been tainted and influenced to a point where what
you think is the truth is something you have come to accept as
"truth" because that's just what everybody says or "knows"
nowadays.
The Devil's first appearance in the Garden of Eden was with the
intention to get Eve to doubt My Word. "Hath God said...? Surely
NOT! Surely it is NOT so!" And he has been following that same
scheme ever since, and your test in this is to either stay faithful
to My voice, or believe your "own intuitions," which, sad to say
are often tainted by the input of popular opinions, which often
come straight from the Devil. If you really want My unadulterated
truth, and if you want to hear My voice of truth, you must be
ready to forget all you know.
You can "listen to your heart," but you must first ask Me to
search your heart, and to give you a hunger for the truth and

The Devil has invented many devices and inhibitions to stop
humans from reaching out to each other. The fear of "what the

I'm trying to get you to bet on the "real thing." My currency is
the real thing, the only thing that's going to endure & see you
through any crisis! You better start making full use of it, and
getting trained in its usage, because you're going to be more &
more dependent on it, no more reliance on the arm of the flesh in
the future!
It's going to be the time that all the prophets have dreamed of
and foreseen, the ultimate fulfillment of all I've said & spoken!
I want You to praise Me for it! Show the Devil you're not scared of
him, nor of anything he can bring about, knowing that he's only a
tool in My hands to bring to pass My greater plan! What must
come to pass is going to come to pass, the cup is almost full. So,
it behooves you to invest all your time & energies into preparing
for it! Don't be like those who didn't get into the boat with Noah
because they were too busy with the usual affairs of life, their
courting and eating and drinking...
If you can see the changes happening on the horizon, you better
start preparing for them, and not wait until they're here! And one
of the best ways to prepare for them is to let others know about
them now, before they come to pass, so that they can prepare
also, and help you.
People have got to see you busy at "building an ark," making
preparations for the rain, even though they may not see it coming
as clearly as you do, so that when it comes, when it's going to
start pouring, they will know that you have been prophets among
them. It's expected of you to be warning other people, to talk to
them about it! Anything else would be a sin!
Shift your dependence to My power and My living waters, learn to
apply My power to your lives, and avail yourself of My light.
84 ___________________________________________________
(S.H.:) Put on the anointing of love, the mantle and the
anointing the Lord would like to give you, the new you that He
wants you to be. Without it, you feel like a villain, like a loser. But
with it, you know He can turn you into one of the winners,
because you're letting Him work & shine through you. It's not
your ugly old self anymore, which obstructs the Lord's light, &
only lets others see the darkness of your carnal, natural sinful
nature, the old man. But in the light of the anointing of His love,
you radiate, you sparkle, you shine; you can do things you never
thought you possibly could; it gives you strength to do that
which you couldn't do before.
The world needs you so much to wear that anointing of love, and
you must never forget it! You must give everyone an equal
chance, and you must never ever put down the effort & attempt
to win them... anyone you come across... everyone you meet. You
owe it to them. It's your duty. It's your only salvation and hope of
survival! You must show love, for that is the difference, the one
thing that makes you stand out from all the others.
Sure, others are polite, courteous and kind, too. But you must
have a love that even exceeds that kindness. A love that they can
feel & lets them know that there's a chance for them to be
forgiven for all their sins, a love that loves them unconditionally
& never gives up hoping, never stops believing that by grace,
they could make it, if only they'll be open enough for it and
receive.
You've got to have that kind of a winning attitude with everyone:
with your kids, with your brethren, and with strangers! Look no
longer at the negative in them. Give them the benefit of the
doubt. Don't judge anyone before they've been tried & found
guilty.
Remember what Nicodemus said to the Sanhedrin when he was
trying to protect Jesus? "Our law does not condemn anyone who
has not been tried & found guilty." If even the Jewish law gave
people a chance to be heard, then how much more so the Law of
love. Jesus overcame all that harshness & all that hardness, the
unforgiving self-righteousness of the Pharisees against him,
because He endured it, like a lamb led to the slaughter. He just
sucked up all their hatred like a sponge & converted it to love
inside Him, and through His all-encompassing, all-powerful and
all-changing love, you can also have the freedom and the power
to love even your enemies!
"Love your enemies" is a reality.

Sometimes I test you to see how badly you really want My
truth and My revelations, or how quickly you would settle for
some kind of compromise & in-between thing. If you want the
truth and nothing but the truth, there is a price to pay for it. Part

find out what the whole truth is concerning a matter, and
sometimes I can't just give it to you in one quick batch, but you
have to take portion by portion, step by step...

The self-righteousness of thieves: They think life has treated
them unfairly, withholding from them what others, less deserving
than they, have in abundance, and in order to mend destiny's
flaws, they figure, they just take the measure for themselves that
fate or life or I have been withholding from them.
If you figure you're good enough to deserve it, it's practically
your right to take it from others, even steal it. After all, they're
"bad," too, definitely far from perfect, so, why not "punish" them
a little to your own advantage by stealing from them, and taking
something from them that you want, & probably even deserve.
The problem is, that same self-righteous and abusive attitude
carries over into other areas of your life as you grow older, and
you "punish" people for their not being perfect by being unkind &
mean to them in other ways. You toss unfriendly or judgmental,
cynical, cutting remarks at them or simply withhold your love
from them & turn ice cold when they behave in ways that you
don't approve of.
It's your way of "educating" people, "training" them and
disciplining them, judging them according to the laws of St.
Little-Old-You! - Your own laws & rules of the game, something
you've always been a master at: bending the rules in your favor;
always judging others a little more harshly than yourself.
After all, it's the easiest way to get what you want. Others may be
working their butts off for it, but you? No, you're smarter than
that! God or the fates must have simply made you smarter than
being as dumb as to work hard for that money... that's what He or
"they" made them so dumb for, so that they could do the hard
work for you, and you just take it from them.

I have brought you to the Kingdom for a time such as this
that you may learn to surrender to My plan, even when you can't
see its wisdom and perfection fully yet, to just say, "I take thee,"
even if you still see flaws and imperfections, like when Hosea
married the harlot... Gomer... the very name I have used in My
Word for this nation, Germany.
So, take her unto thee for a wife, and fear not, fret not, for this
thing is of Me and of My Holy Ghost.
I want you to put up with this imperfection for Me, and be married
to it, even as I put up and am married to yours. This is a token of
the bond of true, everlasting, unconditional love. You don't
expect someone to be perfect as a condition before you are able
to love them.
I accept your sacrifice of love unto Me, and that you are making
Me your first, foremost and one true and supreme Love, the
feeding Source of all your other loves.
106 __________________________________________________
If you were all perfect, there would be no challenge at all to
the commandment, "Love one another" or "love your neighbor as
yourself." But because it's sometimes so difficult, because of the
weaknesses, mistakes & faults it's such a challenge, & not
everybody is succeeding at it.
"Love casts a veil over countless sins." How much are you
availing yourself of the veil of love? How much do you use it? In
other words, how much do you love? How much are you able to
cope with others in spite of their faults?
Blessed are those who see the good & possibilities others can't
see & who can just accept & love people the way they are...
107 __________________________________________________
Faith does not stand on feelings, emotions or "chemistry,"
but on the fact of My Word.
I bless it when someone puts Me to the test & goes contrary to
their natural expectations & abilities, trusting that I will do it
somehow.
Love unconditionally, forgive & give everybody a new chance
each day for a fresh clean start, not keeping grudges or mindsets
about them that will throw shadows of negativity on them. Be a
conduit of My love which is new everyday, and endless.
Endlessly forgiving, pardoning and giving. Giving new chances,
and giving again and again and again...
108 __________________________________________________
Forget all you know! This is not a situation in which any of
you can rely on your personal experiences or understanding,
wisdom or knowledge, but one in which you're each going to
have to seek Me.
If you think your time is too important to deal with such a
problem, then it just shows that an important ingredient is still
lacking.
The ingredient that will let folks know beyond the shadow of a
doubt that you love them so much that you'd be willing to lay
down your life for them - as imperfect as they are, for how can
they believe that you'd lay down your life for them if you're not
even willing to sacrifice a few hours or even days to deal with a
problem someone has, in a gentle, loving and patient way?
What is greater, your zeal and your ambition to "make history" by
blowing like Krakatoa & letting the chips fall where they may, or
your love for one of your brethren, even if they may be the
weakest or the least among them?
It is a test to show whether you have learned something about
the most important thing. If you haven't got it, ultimately you
haven't got what it takes, as you can tell from 1.Cor.13. All those
works, prophecies, miracles & great words will cease and fail,
but the only thing that won't fail - to win their hearts, to make
your team that kind of a winning team it's supposed to be and
must be if you want to accomplish a fraction of what you would
like to accomplish for Me, is love.
Now, love is a tricky thing sometimes, because you may think or
even feel like you've got all the love for someone they should
need or deserve, but if it doesn't come across like that at the
other end, if the person you claim to love doesn't feel loved by
you, then you can either determine that it's their own fault, or you
could humbly seek Me about the possibility whether perhaps you
and your ability to love may still have room for improvement, and
if perhaps there's an area I want you to change in.
Maybe I want you to stretch your capabilities of love & mercy!
No matter how good a prophet you are, chances are that I still
see some things differently than you do.
I have ordained you to be teachers of the world, but you
yourselves are also still learning, and if you think the time has
arrived when there's nothing for you to learn anymore, no more
mistakes to improve or correct, then you're just about to make
the biggest mistake of all! You will become nothing but another
blind guide of the blind.
Be open to examine your own heart & show that you truly have
the love for the brethren that is willing to lay down your life for
them not only in word and tongue, but also in deed and in truth -
right now, not just in some distant future.
109 __________________________________________________
It sometimes happens that a person gets saved, but they
don't let go completely of the spirits of their past. Like Naaman,
they want to keep their old gods in a corner of their lives to
comfort them whenever they feel ill-treated by Me, when My
demands & expectations of them seem too hard for them to cope
with.
And so, they actually wind up "cheating" on Me. They're
"officially" Mine, but are caught "running around" with some
other "guy" from their past.
They say, "Well, that's just me, that's the way I am, aren't you
willing to take both sides of me, the good and the bad?" But what
they don't realize is that that part is not a part of them, but is
actually an intruder, a spirit, which, like the old man of
Huddersfield, claims a right of ownership to them & mocks Me in
My face: "She's Yours and mine, because she will not let me go!"
Familiar spirits can be more dangerous in some ways than
demons, because people don't recognize them as some great
evil, but they feel so "familiar," so comfy & cozy to have around,
like old friends, except that they're not real friends, but seek to
drag you down & impede your spiritual progress.
They're often spirits of independence, & the Enemy has granted
them some sort of "free lance" status, which makes them feel
free and great advocates of "freedom," because he knows he can
do great harm in this, stopping those who are influenced by such
spirits from yielding and submitting totally to Me. But what those
familiar spirits often don't know themselves is that they're
working for the other side. They're deceived into thinking that
they're actually free and independent, but they don't know that
they are actually used by the other side, which makes the
deception so perfect.
They're not truly free, they're not saved by Me, and when
judgment comes, they will have to go to their "prison cells" in
hell or some other state where they will have to learn their
lessons, but since they're obviously ignoring the truth and My
light, they're not My sheep, and they will cause their victims to
also resist My truth and light to whatever extent they can - they'll
stop them from yielding to it completely.
There will always be that weakness, that stumbling block, which
they will convince their victim is just a natural weakness, but as
soon as something spiritual is the cause, it ceases to be natural,
but becomes supernatural, for spirit and flesh are 2 different
things.
Of course, there are demons behind the familiar spirit, using him
like a puppet on a string. Sometimes he's aware of them,
sometimes he chooses to ignore them, but they can influence
him and intensify the depression or whatever miserable state
they try to get the spirit's host into. He acts like an agent, a
vehicle or a medium between those demons and the host. Their
influence becomes a little more "anonymous" & clandestine
(note: a "proxy"). The familiar spirit is like Judas, an old trusted
"friend" who will betray their victim with a kiss.
He tries to keep them running around in circles, without breaking
out of it, for he knows, the closer they get into the light, the circle around themselves and other "good" people, that won't let

You've got to learn to see things through My eyes, perceive them
with My mind & catch My heavenly vision for them. Many times
you still call that unclean which I have called clean. What doesn't
make sense to you, often makes perfect sense to Me.
It's not always going to be the comfortable & easy road I choose
for you! You see where that leads. The path of the least
resistance really leads downhill.
No matter how "legitimate" anyone's excuse for quitting, it's still
an excuse for quitting, and what they should have done was to
keep on fighting, no matter how hard the battle, no matter how
hot the test.
You cannot judge by what is right before your eyes. You must
look further, into the future of My limitless possibilities, glance
through the dark clouds at My bright & shining horizon!
I've become so desperate for willing workers, that I'm ready to
use anything & anyone, regardless of their flaws, as long as
they're willing!
If you continue to build on faith, you will reap many benefits,
experience many mighty miracles, and you will see the glory of
God!
Accept that it has got to be so without any murmuring!
Sometimes I leave you in situations where you are powerless to
do anything in the flesh, so that you will have no other choice but
to commit it into My hands, to bring it before Me in prayer, & trust
that that's truly the best thing you can do.
115 __________________________________________________
You're going to have to decide whether you're going to be
willing to render your energies to a greater cause, joint effort,
team or Home than just your own personal family's survival &
doing a little witnessing on the side, even if this will mean that
you most likely won't be deciding your own moves anymore to
the extent you are, but that someone else will guide, direct, lead
or "steer" you.
Decide whether you think you're going to accomplish more by
"running around" loosely, like horses, wild & free, wherever you
want, or whether it wouldn't be more efficient for My Kingdom if
you would let yourselves be harnessed to & employed by a
greater cause, some joint effort, team, or bigger Home, a carriage
with wheels, able to transport a much greater load & thus get a
larger amount of work for Me done.
The Family is all about doing things together, which also
includes receiving direction or counsel from others, in order to
be most efficient.
I am the Head or the Boss of this Family, and naturally I would
like for all My children to employ the maximum amount of their
energies to My cause, yielding the maximum efficiency possible,
so, if there's any way I can manage to persuade you to make the
necessary changes in order to do that, of course I will.
It's either My 'carriage', or the System's, because you're always
going to have to pull a heavier System load if you're just going to
live independently & on your own, without the full advantages of
communal living.
The independent way is harder, tougher and much more energy
consuming, and not nearly as efficient in the long run, as
dedicating your forces to some sort of joint effort or "winning
team."
116 __________________________________________________
If you focus on the negative, you will see the negative. If you
focus on the positive - which, granted, with some people is a little
bit harder - you eventually will see the positive.
You must learn to look for the good in people! Then it will also
not be so hard for you to correct them or tell them about some of
the things they do you consider wrong, because they'll still feel
that you love them & consider them a positive addition & a
blessing to your life, not a burden.
What is needed is a more positive outlook, more love, more of
the ability to see the good in others, instead of the bad.
Everybody can see the bad in others, that's not difficult! The
Devil can tell you a whole lot of truth about them, and he does so
all the time. His demons are at work non-stop to point out to
people all over the globe the faults of others. What's so new
about that?
But seeing the good in others in spite of the bad, that's an art I
want you to learn! Without it, you're never going to have any
success with people, because people sense it when you only see
the bad in them &consequently don't like them. Like that quote,
"The people who like people are the people people like."
If you don't like'em, they won't like you. If you want to be liked
and loved, you better find ways to see the good in others, so that
you will learn to like them and to love them in spite of their flaws,
so that they, in turn will learn to like & love you in spite of yours.
If you put up with theirs, they'll put up with yours!
But if you continually judge them in your mind & label them & put
them in all kinds of boxes & drawers, be sure that they'll find
equivalent labels & boxes for you, too, simply as a matter of self-
defense.
The solution is not to look at the negative, but at the positive, to
emphasize the positive traits of others & focus on them. The
more you look for the good in others, the more you will see it, &
the more it will come alive for you, and it will become more &
more real to you! A positive reality instead of one where all you
see is the bad.
Claim the keys of positiveness, and of a heavenly outlook &
perspective, and you will see heaven in others.
The world knows enough hell! Time to show them a little more
heaven! Discover the positive!
117 __________________________________________________
There is yet so much for you to discover, so much to explore.
Not one day of your lives ever has to be dull or boring. You just
need to open your eyes & there will be so many truths to
discover!
In this age of lies you are My discoverers of truth. And there's
more to discover every day! Truth about yourself; truth about
others; truth about the world, My Kingdom, it's almost limitless
what's there to discover!
And you can pass on those truths to anyone who is interested
and hungry for it. That's what I'm sending you out to seek and to
find: those who are hungry and receptive for the truth.
That's a prophet's job, to deliver a message, whether it's popular,
or whether he thinks it's going to go over well, or not.
You overcome fear of people's reactions, pride, laziness,
compromise & disobedience by fighting against these things
with My Word, the keys & prayer...
I'm exposing those enemies to you not just for you to be aware of
them and acknowledge their existence, but so that you will fight
them! You overcome them by going on the attack! You have to
declare war on those demons that are urging you, "Oh, no, you
better quiet down, you'd better not rock the boat, no, no, don't
say that, don't speak the truth; after all, no one's asked you for
your opinion, did they? They're gonna have to find out by
themselves..."
What good are talents, if you don't put them to use for the benefit
of your fellow humans?
Claim the keys of love, fight for love, give everything you've got
for love! The world isn't being won, nor changed, much less
saved by just passively sitting there until they're gonna get the
point! They're never gonna get the point unless somebody tells
them! Some points they're never going to get in this life, because
you were meant to drive that point home to them!
One thing is putting people in boxes, labeling them & being
unwilling to expect them to change. Another thing is, having the
faith that they're going to change & give them a piece of advice
that has turned out to be helpful in your own life & shown you
where some of your own pitfalls were, as a tool and aid to help
them make that change.
Whether they're going to receive it or reject it then is entirely up
to them, but you will have done your part.
You will then not only be a discoverer of truth, but one who
imparts & shares what he has found. A pioneer, who will have
opened up new ways and territories for others, & treasure not
only to keep for himself, but to enrich others & have them benefit
from them as well. That's what witnessing is supposed to be all
about.
But sometimes you have to discern what message exactly it is
that someone needs, and in order to do that, you have to spend
time with them, talking to them, hearing them out, finding out
what they're receptive for and what not.
For 1 karat of diamond, you have to shift 1 ton of sand! It takes a
while of digging and searching until you find a diamond in all that
sand, someone worthwhile who is hungry for the truth and will
receive it. But you have to do that digging, shifting & searching,
otherwise you'll never find out!
You have to hear them out, check them out, talk to them & have a
thorough look at them & not be too quick to discard them! Some
that you would have discarded as sand turned out to be
diamonds which had to be found by others, which shows that
you didn't look very thoroughly! Sometimes you didn't even have
the faith that there were going to be any diamonds in that pile of
sand in the first place. But I promise you: there are diamonds out
there, and if you seek them, you will find them!
What else is more worthy of the investment of your love & time &
all, than eternal human souls? Is there any greater cause to
dedicate your life to? That was the cause to which I dedicated
Mine, so, if you want to follow in My footsteps, you'll be wise &
do the same! If I thought they were worth it, so can you.
Ask Me to open your eyes & show you the good about them, the
potential, the hope, the areas in their lives in which you could be
a blessing to them! Make your life a blessing!
You must not give up on them, but continue praying for them &
wait for the right opportunity to give them that advice.
People often do not see the whole truth about themselves.
If you go about it the right way, you will find a great calling, and
great joy in being My messenger, and you will become better at
telling others the truth in love. Find out what wonderful fruit the
truth brings in others' lives!
Don't hurt anyone by withholding the truth from them. That hurts
even more. Find ways to let them know lovingly.
118 __________________________________________________
Your problem with getting out My Word is primarily based &
seated in pride, since it's obviously humbling to distribute My
Word to a crowd of unbelievers, the majority of which will usually
reject you.
That's why you have to keep your eyes, your focus & your vision
on the spiritual, and trust My Word for it, that they are truly
spiritually poor, no matter how rich they may be materially, or
how proud & cocky they might come across. In the spirit, you'll
always be much richer than they, even though the Devil will often
try to deceive you into believing that it is not so, which he's been
having an easy time with in the past due to your tendency to look
at that which meets the eye, looking at what's before you, the
way things seem to be - the carnal reality, but not the way I see
things!
When you only look as man sees, at that which is before your
eyes, instead of the heart, what's beneath, then it's easy to fall for
the Devil's lies of, "Aah, they don't need you or what you've got
to offer them, anyway! Look at them! They look better & happier
than you ever did! What makes you think that they ever would
have the faintest need of your religion, your God or anything
from you?"
If you swallow that stuff, then of course witnessing or litnessing
is no fun, because you feel like, "Yeah, what have I got to offer
them, anyway?" And instead of feeling like giving them what
you've got, & wanting to share your spiritual riches with them,
you doubt, & you feel like they have something better than you,
and the Enemy makes you want what they've got!
You've been falling for the Devil's lies & false gospel of, "Blessed
is the flesh! Blessed are the rich! Blessed are the proud & those
who don't need any spirituality..."
Your carnality makes you feel inferior to them. Which shows that
you've been trusting in the flesh, and with all the spiritual input
you've been taking in, it didn't really serve to make you truly
stronger in the spirit. Because the truth is that it will really only
rub in deeply, down where it really brings forth fruit, if you are
willing to be "ploughed" by the rough conditions you meet out
there when witnessing! You've been running away from that, &
it's time you face that enemy, because it's the only way you're
ever truly going to bear fruit that remains.
You, the Family, are the only true alternative to the System, the
only totally dropped out ones from the System, unplugged from
the Matrix & independent from the Whore, because you live by
faith - outside of the System & not part of the machine, which
none of the other groups & churches can claim of themselves,
and this makes you totally unique, and should give you the
confidence that you do have something to offer: the only true
alternative to the Matrix!
Keep in mind that it takes shifting a ton of sand in order to find
the diamond, & don't let your impatience get the better of you if
you run into more wolves, dogs & goats than sheep! Of course
the sheep are going to be fewer & less in number, otherwise it
wouldn't be a challenge!
If there would be no way I could expect of you to overcome your
pride, your fears and the lies of the Enemy, I wouldn't put this
challenge before you! But I've equipped you with all the weapons
you need in order to fight and win this battle, so, give Me a
chance to prove that My Word is true, that My promises are true,
and that My weapons work, and fight!
If you just get out there on the battle field you will regain the
conviction you need, which will ultimately free you from any
desires to be part of the System!
Remember you're not a part of it! The Whore's got no part in you,
as you're not part of her!
What counts with Me is not your manners or whether someone's
behavior is impeccable, but to what extent they are allowing
themselves to be defiled by the System, and it behooves you to
take on My view and way of looking at things in this aspect if you
really want the truth and to convey nothing but the truth!
In My eyes, the flaws that stand out to Me much more than little
personality flaws or quirks in anyone's behavior are the spots &
marks of compromise with the System. The greater the gap
between you and the System, the purer you are in My eyes.
Whereas, if you compromise and, when it all boils down to it
you're still a servant of Mammon, that fact will stand between you
and Me, because it's just a matter of fact that "Ye cannot serve
God and Mammon!"

From dust thou art & to dust thou shalt return! Everything in
your world is temporal, & everything is only a test. When they're
going to be gone, the question that will remain will be: how did
you do? Did you cut it? Or will you be ashamed of yourself,
wishing you had done better?
I don't just want you to begrudgingly endure the pain, but to rise
above and overcome the pain as a cheerful winner.
What's going to meld you together is the fighting together, the
going through the dirt & grind of the battle together, and these
mundane things you're having to go through in this life are part
of that. Just like the roughness of the nitty-gritty of witnessing
serves to rub My seeds deeper into your spiritual womb, thus
enabling you better to bring forth more fruit for Me, even so
those mundane battles of every day life, including its physical
burdens, serve to knit you & meld you closer & tighter together,
to truly make you, My Bride, into one.
Now you may not see it as clearly as I do, but then you will. All
the lessons learned together, on honesty & openness,
communicating, overcoming selfishness & laziness, jealousy,
and helping others to overcome their weaknesses, it all serves to
make you into one beautiful, gorgeous bride, one body, in which
every member loves the other with an immense, deep and
undying love.
Even those who couldn't make it, those who quit, they will have
an extra amount of love & admiration for those who didn't quit,

grope & feel your way around, so that you can learn to get in
touch with certain situations from a different angle. You've had to
"feel it out" & found out that this was not what you were looking
for.
Instead, you practically found that what you had already was a lot
more similar to what you've been wanting all along, all you
needed were a few little attitude changes & changes of
perspective!
I have taught you a necessary lesson the long & hard way,
because the long & hard way is the most effective & lasting way,
that really drives a point home, not easily forgotten. Everything
that's worth something costs something, and if you want a
valuable lesson that's going to last, you're going to have to be
willing to pay something for it... a bit of pain, a bit of agony, and
some desperation. But it will have been worth it.
I want you to mature & grow beyond any need or desire for a
superficial show... to detect what is real and what is not. I want
you to have discernment, so that you won't fall too easily for
anything that shines & glitters & promises a lot on the surface,
but will turn out to be just another fake & disappointment.
I want you to look at that which is not shiny on the surface, that
which requires faith to believe in and to invest in, even that which
others might not have faith for in the natural.
Whatever you do, you've got to have the faith to go all the way
through with it, & not leave the job half-done or leave your sheep
half unattended when you begin to lose faith in them, or because
they're not living up to your expectations.
Remember not to see things as black & white, because there are
many different shades of grey, & I will use all of them to make a
perfect picture...
130 __________________________________________________
Continue to work on focusing on the positive, looking at the
opportunities, instead of the obstacles! Now that we've cleared
all the Devil's elusive castles in the sky out of the way, that were
distracting you & causing you to wish you were hither, thither or
yon, you should really concentrate on all the good & wonderful
possibilities that lie right before you.
You don't have to act as if under pressure, but everything -
whatever you choose to do for Me - is up to you. It must be My
love that should constrain you. Everything you do for Me, I want
you to do it voluntarily, out of your love for Me and for the sheep,
which is there as a result of My love for you, which you're
experiencing everyday, and not because you've got some sort of
mental Damocles’ sword hanging over your head that tells you,
"You'd better... or else...!"
My quest is and has always been to set you free, not to enslave
you.
131 __________________________________________________
When it comes to a heavenly and spiritual viewpoint, there IS
no such thing as "privacy," but all things are open & naked
before Me (Heb.4:13).
I want your relationship and marriage to be one where you really
don't have to hide anything from each other.
Are you ready for such openness? Then you're really taking a
giant step toward Me, toward My ways, toward the ways of the
spirit world. It's impossible to deceive anyone Here, to pretend or
be a fake. Nobody will fall for it, because everyone is looking
right through you.
Failure to see that is actually evidence of false spirituality,
pretending to be so spiritual, when you're really still living by the
carnal concept (wishful thinking) that there is anything you can
hide, that won't be revealed in the long run. This cloaking
business & hiding things is one of the Devil's games. He gives
people that urge to hide things from each other, & to even try to
hide from Me. He wants to exclude Me. His goal is to isolate
everyone into their own little worlds full of their own little secrets
they think they can hide away, when in reality, it's all laying wide
open before My eyes.
If you want to learn to see through My eyes, you have to become
conscious of the fact that nothing, absolutely nothing is hidden
from My eyes, but that before Me, all things are open, naked, and
revealed.
I'm giving you a chance to live a life-style that resembles the
heavenly life-style, with no dark corners in your life, but where
My light shines into every single corner of your heart & being,
where you're virtually transparent.
Why wait until you come to be with Me in My Realm, or until I
come to bring about the merging of the realms? You can start
living like that right now! Find out how much power 2 people can
really develop when there are absolutely no secrets between
them! Nothing to hide!
It's really a wonderful thing when there's no need for secrets.
This different concept of love than you previously had is a much
brighter concept. Your concept was always a bit bit dimmed by
romantic candle light, where your flaws are well hidden & you
can easily pretend to be somebody a bit more perfect than you
really are.
I'm bringing into your life a love as bright as the sun, one where
you don't have to try to hide. Unconditional love is the very
magic that will convert you into a true prince of Mine.
The Devil tries to scare you that you might lose something
through honesty, but you're only going to gain from it.
Feel the sexy excitement of total openness! Welcome to Heaven!
132 __________________________________________________
Total freedom only comes through total surrender to Me.
You're having to yield every day, at every turn & decision that
requires a "yes" to Me from you. You have to forsake all & die to
your old man every day. Receiving My help in this daily, through
My instructions of what it is I want you to forsake & what area I
want you to yield more & progress in is vital.
I explain to you how every little thing makes sense.
Total unity, totally open communication, honesty, yieldedness &
commitment is the way I've been wanting you to go.
Sometimes you're only willing to give so much, but I can't really
use you unless you're genuinely willing & ready to give all.
Giving your all really pays off, & in fact, it's the only way that
living for Me really works successfully.
It's a bit like those half-developed organs that Evolution expects
people to believe in: they won't work. You can't breathe with a
half-developed lung, or live with an unfinished liver. It has to be
fully developed, nothing half-baked, before it will work. Well, the
functionality of your giving-all organ is just about fully developed
& in its final stages, & you'll notice the difference when My power
will flow through all those pipes & tubes & spiritual veins!
It's a certain level of maturity My followers have to reach, at
which I can flip the switch that will really make'em shine,
because they're ready.
It will be plain & clear to all when you're "done."
133 __________________________________________________
The real & natural taste of life isn't always sweet, but heartier.
Even so it is with your spiritual intake: for a healthy diet, you
won't only listen for or read My sweet words of love to you, but
also the words of correction & instruction; the stuff that's
naturally a little bit harder for you to chew on, but essential for
your spiritual health.
It's natural to want life to be as comfortable, easy & sweet as
possible, but it's not really good for you, since that's weakening
you. That's why there are more battles & less luxury, less ease,
less comfort! I need to get My people ready for war, and we
cannot fight the foe effectively and successfully as long as
you're weakened by all his lulling & tempting devices, by all his
addictions to the sweet things in life!
Temptations will keep coming your way, but it's up to you to
resist them. Otherwise, you'll only be weakened more.
The Devil may pretend to be your friend, but only until he gets a
chance to stab you in the back. Sooner or later his flag comes
unfurled, & the masks of deception will be dropped, and you'll
find out that it all was a carefully concocted trap!
It's time to go without his luxuries, "bribes" & goodies with which
he tries to keep you at peace with him: "Look how sweet I'm
making your life! You're not going to fight me, are you?" - The
same way a burglar would toss a watchdog some meat that has
been soaked in a substance to make him go to sleep, or even
poison, to simply kill him! He knows no scruples, & he won't
hesitate to use even the meanest tricks in order to get an
advantage over you!
These battles are supposed to be signs that everything is not
alright, and yes, something is wrong, indeed! Something is
wrong.
There is no peace with the Enemy.
You must fight & defend those I have committed into your care,
to defend them with your very life, if need be. It's time to attack!
I'm having to purge you of those elements of friendship with the
world that make you compromise, ashamed to stand up for Me
before them, because you don't want to lose your popularity with
them! You need to get rid of this filth, this dirt, this virus, or it's
going to spread!
There's a great danger of others adopting this System mindset of
cowardice & fear to be different, & when this disease has hit fully
home, you will have lost another potential & powerful warrior
from your midst & will instead have to deal with a constant
potential traitor, since they will always be a voice of doubt, a
voice for the System and for the Enemy, dragging you the
opposite way, instead of pulling along in My direction!
134 __________________________________________________
It's expedient for you that we continue communicating
throughout the whole day. P&P time should be like priming the
pump, stirring up a flow that should continue steadily throughout
the day, so that you can always stay in tune with Me, and not get
distracted onto other wavelengths, which are not Mine.
When somebody's going through an extreme fight, that's the time
to stop talking and join in their fight in prayer and a sober
attitude & a vigilant spirit!
Excessive words are often a sign of insecurity, that doesn't
communicate nor convey trust or strength. A quiet & confident
spirit conveys strength. When somebody is going through
serious trials, nothing will help them as much as your taking on a
serious & sober attitude as well, showing solidarity, genuine
concern & that you're fighting alongside them in spirit!
You don't overcome a bad spirit with a light attitude, but by
sobering up, facing him down, confronting him, and showing that
the victim is not alone in their fight, but that you're right by their
side, fighting with them and for them.
135 __________________________________________________
Fighting alongside each other is what it's all about.
Concentrating on the battle at hand, the really relevant things:
the lost sheep & souls, forget your own problems! If one of you is
feeling unloved, imagine how unloved so many of the poor, lost
sheep out there must feel, who don't even know Me & don't know
of any other hope beyond this life!
Witnessing has always been the best solution for personal
problems. It's going to meld you together better & faster than
anything else will or can, and I'm going to bless you for it.
Witnessing is My ultimate plan for you, what I desire for you, and
in this you will definitely find many victories & solutions!
136 __________________________________________________
Can a man argue with God? Well, more often than not, they
do think so. They don't see the sense in it all, so they question
the whole thing... "Lord, aren't You making a mistake here? How
can You expect this of Me?"
It requires faith to go out there & die daily for Me!
It's tough being the only light in a sea of darkness, and not many
have got what it takes for that. That's why I'm using whoever I
can who is simply willing to do the job, even if they're far from
perfect. Whoever will get out for Me and get out My Words to
these people nobody loves, I will use them, and I am proud of
them. Support and sustain them the best you can. Treat them like
your champion, and help, support & uphold them!
Be a coach they can trust, one that encourages them & rubs their
muscles after the battle & gives them clues on how to fight more
effectively.
They're your prize fighters, even though they may be a little odd,
have their weaknesses & all that. If you fully appreciate what
they're doing, show you're grateful for them, they'll get into the
ring gladly & knock the Devil for a loop! And they eventually
might put those to shame who didn't believe that they've got
what it takes.
You've got to believe in them, and you've got to show that you
believe in them, that you're counting on them and that you
believe that they can and will make it.
No matter how big their problem may be, they're the ones who've
got the courage, the vision, the love and the humility to go out
there & get out My Words.
You want your perfect little world, but chances are, you still
wouldn't be perfectly happy in it! Because, just like with Adam &
Eve, what's got to change is your own ungrateful attitude of your
own heart, & you must learn to appreciate & praise Me for the
little things, even if they're not perfect, in order to really learn to
appreciate the better & eventually the best & perfect things!
Love, appreciate & encourage them with genuine concern &
appreciation for what they do. Maybe I'm even purposely
allowing them to have the strength for things that you don't, just
in order for you to see that I measure & hand out talents
differently than you might or than you would expect Me to do it
according to your own reasoning. Come now & let us reason
together, & see who's making more sense in the long run!
The ones I have chosen to do the most difficult job in the world
aren't those who think themselves perfect.
137 __________________________________________________
I have to test My soldiers in their weak areas. You'd prefer Me
to test you in areas of your life you're stronger or would do better
in, but those are not the areas that need to be strengthened most.
I've got to remind you, "Hey, it's all by My grace!"
I'm not allowing you to take things for granted! You haven't
arrived yet. This life isn't supposed to be heaven yet, this is not
your destination, not paradise. You're not supposed to feel like
you've arrived while you're still on earth! You're on a
battleground, in a war. And you're fighting your way through
toward your ultimate destiny.
Don't act so surprised about the repercussions you're reaping as
a result of your disobediences.
The temptations will keep coming & knocking at your door, but
it's your choice whether you will succumb to them! It's time to
acquire some spiritual strength & the greatness to resist them,
because the repercussions will come, whether they will seem
related to the sin or not!
I'm teaching you the difference between mere physical, fleshly
beauty and real, lasting, eternal beauty of the spirit. Your mind is
still framed by that Hollywood & MTV-generation way of looking
at things.
You long for the total & perfect beauty of My kingdom. But first
you must learn to see beauty in the imperfect things.
You can't learn to see the beauty of things the way I want you to
while you're still panting for the artificial, carnal beauty of the
System. You can't drink of My cup and the Devil's! In order to
learn to see My beauty, you must renounce the beauty of the
world. You can't love both. You'll either fall for one or the other.
Which is the beauty you want and seek in your life: the eternal &
true beauty of the spirit, or the mere carnal beauty that fades like
the grass of the field?
When you behold with the eyes of the spirit, you'll see things
beneath the surface that reveal the true beauty of the spirit, even
in someone that doesn't appeal to your physical sense of beauty
at all.
Whenever there is something going wrong in your life, or not the
way things are supposed to be, you can be sure that there's a
cause for it, and a very good reason. If it comes across as if I'm
punishing you, there must be a good reason for it, and you can
be sure that this is also out of My great love for you, and that it
will work together for your best.

You want to accomplish something tangible, you need your
little "success" experience sometimes. I just want you to see
things from My perspective & see what I consider success, which
is often a lot of barely-to-be-detected-with-the-naked-eye ground
work below the surface.
You would like to give your children a treat that they can
remember as something not boring, but that's because you want
to appeal to their mind gear of "what can I consume today, so
that I can register this day as a success of some kind?" It's that
manipulated mind gear of constantly having to receive,
unlearning the ability to give or contribute something and
registering that as a success instead.
So, in order to really do them a favor, you should not adjust to
their mind gear and bend to their wishes, but you should instead
seek for opportunities for them to learn from you, which will be
useful preparation for the future. If you just bend to their scheme,
you'll just spoil them & render them useless & unable to cope
with life later on.
Being a true leader & shepherd does mean to be sensitive to the
flock's needs, but it doesn't mean to let their desires lead you.
You cannot let their desires determine your path.
It's the path of the least resistance, but that is where you have to
learn to let Me guide instead. If you continue to compromise
because you want to make things right for them in order to have
your peace, you're going to reap the results!
You cannot allow people to manipulate you, you have to stick to
what I'm showing you is good and the best for all of you.
I'm trying to train you for the War of the Worlds, not a holiday
camp where you become weaker & weaker by the day, unable to
resist & fight the Enemy! I'm trying to teach you to fight! And in
order to ensure your survival, you're going to have to learn to
seek your satisfaction and fulfillment in spiritual things, because
you're never going to be able to escape the Devil's clutches &
influence as long as you remain junkies to his enticements &
seek them above My pleasures!
Your kids have to learn to appreciate the little things & that they
must give in order to receive, otherwise they're going to be lost
later on, unable to contribute anything valuable to others, only
selfishly seeking their own pleasure & satisfaction.
They've got to do their part in order to feel truly satisfied in the
long run, finding pleasure in giving and contributing their share
to the workload, which is much more lasting and important than
the fleeting little pleasures of consumption.
Once you've got your priorities straight, it becomes much more
pleasurable again to enjoy something small, you won't take life's
little pleasures for granted anymore! It's all about giving, not
taking!
It's all about serving, not seeking to be served!
150 __________________________________________________
Behold, I make all things new. I am the One Who brings
variety & change! You can interpret that both ways: either you
just passively and patiently wait until I bring some kind of change
about, or you take part in bringing change and renewal about by
absorbing Me, including Me in everything and focusing on Me,
expecting change & thus helping to make it happen.
All newness & variety that is good & positive originates from Me,
and I am the Newness, the Variety & the Change you seek!
There are certain things I'm capable of that you haven't
experienced yet, because you haven't really believed yet that I
am able to. You sometimes tend to put Me in a box.
The Devil's not going to fight you in an area where you feel
"comfortable" fighting him. He wants to hit you where it hurts, in
your sensitive and weak and vulnerable areas. Of course, he'll
hope that you'll cop out & throw in the towel. But as long as you
don't, as long as you keep fighting & keep hanging in there,
you're gaining from it. You're being strengthened and trained,
and you gain experience.
Everything, every day of your lives is a miracle, and with
everyday that passes, where you've made it another piece up the
road successfully, you've just experienced another miracle! -
Something that only keeps working by My miracle-working,
supernatural power. Whether you can feel it being there or not is
not relevant anymore, you can see it with every day that passes.
You've gone as far as anyone could expect you to go on human
level. But a new thing has begun, powered by God.
You're going to have to get the love and the power to keep this
working from Me, every single day.
You've read and heard stories about men who have forgiven the
murderers of their entire families by My grace, something that
humanly hardly seems possible. Even so it is going to have to be
My supernatural love which is going to enable you to forgive
each other time & time again for your failures & shortcomings,
casting veils over countless sins & flaws, and to not only keep
loving each other as much as before, but even more than before
in spite of it all.
Against all the odds of the humanly reasonable and possible, this
love is going to grow. But this is only going to be possible by My
Spirit.
It defies all natural reasoning and laws of probability and all
odds. Humanly you can't make it, you're doomed to defeat &
failure. But with Me all things are possible.
I am going to prove once again that some of My greatest victories
come out of seeming defeat.
Every breath you take comes from Me. I am the Oxygen that will
keep this flame alive, and as long as you're aware of how much
you depend on Me, this is going to keep going, working and
functioning. But as soon as you look at the waves, you're
sinking!
So, where do look for variety, for newness, for spunk &
inspiration? At all the things you cannot have? No. At Me!
Don't let resignation in! You've got to believe, hold on at any
cost! Let earth and all carnal circumstances recede & let Me lift
you above all the natural impossibilities! I'm going to make this
happen, so you'd better believe Me for it! Don't be dumbfounded:
If I said it, and if I ordained it, don't you think that I also am able
to keep it alive?
I'm just allowing the Devil to pour some water over it, like the
servants of Baal poured water over Elijah's oxen and altar. It was
an additional challenge, to ask to do the totally and utterly
impossible, to pour all that valuable and precious water down
those trenches.
But for Elijah there was never a doubt that I was going to do it.
He knew there was going to be fire, and there was going to be
rain again. So, as a result, I caused him to do the humanly
impossible, because He had My anointing, My power, My fire, and
it's got to be that same power, anointing and fire that fuels your
actions, your words, your life!
Never ever doubt that I'm going to do it, no matter how much
water the Devil may pour over it! He's casting out a flood after
you to drown you, but don't you swallow any of it! Let them
swallow it! But you must keep on believing, never doubting that

154 __________________________________________________
(Mt.13:52) It gives Me pleasure when My children delight in
My Words, both, new and old. There is more to discover in My
Word, more excitement to glean from it, than from the whole
caboodle of worldly knowledge and entertainment combined.
One has to glean a lot longer and harder to find some reliable
source of all they call "knowledge" in the world. They just don't
seem to stick to the truth as much as My Scribes and prophets
would. There are too many people out there who defend nothing
but their own little truth. That's the result of Adam & Eve
believing Satan's lie at the tree of the knowledge of good and
evil, "Ye shall be as gods." The problem is that when you have
millions or even billions of little "gods" running around &
everyone of them having their own "truth," it's pretty hard for
those who are not as conceited to find out what to believe in and
what really is the truth.
The difference between goats & sheep is that goats will eat
anything, whereas sheep will only be satisfied with the fresh
green grass of My truth, and nothing else.
Nowadays people are being drilled into this urge of having to
consume and consume and consume even more. They're being
brainwashed into thinking that they couldn't possibly be satisfied
with merely the grass from My pastures and the fresh clear water
that flows there. When there's so much else available to satisfy
any little hankering, craving, lust or itching of ears, it seems
weird to stick to such a strict and what seems like a
"conservative" diet & just be modest & be satisfied by My Word
and input.
But a good allegory for this is the story of Daniel, Shadrach,
Meshech and Abednego in Babylon, where they refused to eat of
the king's food & preferred only bread & water instead. After a
week they were looking healthier and stronger than the rest of
the students. Not all that the world has got to offer is necessarily
good for you!
So, blessed and wise are they who are satisfied with the
relatively little I've got to offer, compared to the abundance of the
world, but which is clean and kosher and wholesome, whereas
the abundance of the world will only deceive you and make you
sick. And if you have a closer look, what I've got to offer
nowadays isn't even all that little.
The problem isn't a lack of abundance, but rather that people
usually tend to yield to the temptation & curiosity for the other
side. They think there's more to discover over there, on the other
side of the fence. I recommend for you to make the large part of
your spiritual diet that which you know is 100% approved of My
Spirit & comes from the clean water brooks of My mountain.
Watch your diet & learn to restrain yourself & not always to yield
to the craving & consume whatever you find or happen to hunger
or lust after. But if you want a healthy soul, a healthy body and
spirit, then you're going to have to stick to a healthy diet, one in
which the rule applies that "less is sometimes more."
Learn to discipline yourself.
155 __________________________________________________
It's sad for you to feel alone when you've got such a cloud of
helpers around you, but you seem oblivious to them & unaware
that they're there.
Whatever you feel like, your faith should not be based on
feelings, but on the fact that you are not alone! You're never
alone!
You associate fellowship with mere physical company only,
whereas I'm trying to teach you that your spiritual company is a
whole lot more important and wholsesome for you.
You still go by what you can see and hear and feel with your
physical senses, that's what's important to you, all the while
neglecting what you could see, hear or feel and be experiencing
with your spiritual senses. It's a matter of exercising them!
One exercise to activate & experience greater interaction with
your spirit helpers is witnessing. "Obedience brings down the
Spirit and blessings of God."
156 __________________________________________________
If you're prepared for a crisis, such as periodically occurring
emotional lows, then the disappointment won't be so big. You'll
be expecting them as something natural, as night following day
or winter following autumn, and you won't freak out, wondering,
"what's it again now?" You'll know, "Oh, it's just an emotional
ebb." It will be a lot easier to deal with it.
You've been hoping "they" would disappear, but it looks as if it
would be smarter to just accept them as natural, regular
occurrences that you're simply going to have to deal with, a
natural result of the fall and of sin in this world.
You can't go by feelings. If you wait for emotional confirmation
until you're able to show love to someone, you won't be showing
love very much. Besides, emotions have often turned out to be
deceptive.
It's a little bit like "Groundhog Day." The spell won't be broken
until you've learned your lesson. Let's face it: everybody in the
world can love the person they're emotionally attracted to, they
have a crush on or are in love with. But learning how to love
unselfishly, for My sake and for the glory of My kingdom is a
whole different ball game!
You're actually learning to become each other's servants for My
sake, for My Kingdom's sake, for the sake of the souls you're
winning together by becoming a frutiful team!
And instead of being all enwrapped in your emotions for each
other, too busy to care about Me and My affairs, you're each
learning to put Me first in your lives, to let Me be the one to fill
that greatest yearning for utter love, and I will honor this.
157 __________________________________________________
The more you will allow My Spirit to rule you, the more the
right kind of emotions will run through you. After all, My love is a
very emotional thing, but it's a higher emotion, it's not bound by
circumstances, nor influenced by selfish feelings. It's something
you would call supernatural!
It's the kind of love that's even capable of loving your enemies!
Your natural inclination toward your enemies is to hate or at least
dislike them, and you feel like cursing them & want Me to judge
them.
But remember what I said? "Bless them that curse you, do good
to them that despitefully use you and persecute you..." For if you
love only those who love you, what reward is that? The
Systemites do the same! I want My children to be masters at the

What else can motivate you to want to go out & take My gospel to
complete strangers who are not very likely to welcome or
embrace what you've got to tell or offer them? That takes the
kind of love I'm talking about, and it begins where your natural
resources and capabilities to love end.
It has got to have come to the point where it's clear that these are
not your natural emotions, for they have come to an end, but this
is something greater, a divine love, and supernatural, a work of
My grace, it's Me working in you, not your flesh, proving that My
strength is made perfect in your weakness, and when you're
weak in your own resources, then you're strong in Me!

preach the gospel, you're never going to do it! The Devil will
always be right there to point out to you, "Oh, but this isn't right,
and that little detail over here isn't right, either," etc.
My blessings don't precede obedience, & it's often your very
willingness to go out in spite of the fact that it kills you, that
brings down that supernatural love and Spirit of Mine that you're
really yearning for. It's a step of faith. You do something for
reasons that are invisible to the naked eye, in spite of the visible
and tangible conditions. There may be a million reasons why
nobody in the world should be able to expect you to go out & do
this, but you're doing it anyway for the simple reason that I've
asked you and commanded you to do it. That's obedience!
You should do it regardless of whether you've got the perfect

and because it's My commandment. You have more love for each

It doesn't matter if you don't have the perfect sample, Home or

advertize. And whatever it takes, you should do it, because that's
your main job & purpose in life! If you just obey Me and do it in
spite of the way you feel, I will reward you with feeling really
heavenly about it! Because you will know that you're in the
center of My will, and that means you'll be in the center of the
universe as far as I'm concerned, fulfilling your destiny, and isn't
that what matters & counts & all you really want?
You can make your greatest mark by telling others about Me!
So, just ignore all your quarrels, your differences & imperfections

they could have been somewhere better. But they tend to forget
that their lives are vapor, and if I determine that the best place for

Some people have a wrong perception of what it meant when
Peter said, "speak as the oracles of God." They figure that it
means that whenever they open their mouths, people are

means is to make sure that it is I who am speaking through you,
and to only speak and open your mouth when spoken through,

can be assured that if anything goes wrong in your life, he's got

careful eye that he won't go any further than I permit him,
because I know just how much you can handle...
The usual human reaction to this is "but that's not fair" & they
cry why did I have to create the Devil in the first place, etc.? They
all want life to be good and perfect, they want heaven on earth.
But that's not the plan & purpose of this earthly life and of this
dispensation of grace & Salvation by faith.
There will come a time when everything will be perfect, & in order
to ensure that it will stay perfect & nobody will ever want to rebel
against Me again, I'm having to teach the universe a lesson they
won't too quickly forget.
I never wanted robots who just blindly obey My every command
without any choice, but I do want people - and angels for that
matter, heavenly servants as you are My earthly ones - who know
why they're serving Me and why they are loyal to Me, why they
love Me. I want you and everybody to know why they believe in
Me, and why it's good to obey Me - by experience, & not just
because somebody told them. And that's why we're creating this
huge "database" with the history of the world, that anyone who
will ever have any doubts about why it is best to serve, love and
obey Me, will be able to go "back" to and experience first hand,
just like you're now able to glean lessons from movies like "It's A
Wonderful Life" & see parallels to your own life and situation in
there...
Everything that happens, happens as an "ensample" to those
who will come after you, and someday somebody is going to
profit from what you're experiencing right now! Nothing is lost,
really, nothing of all I allow is ever in vain, so actually, Solomon
was wrong about that. It may be vain to collect or strive for
worldly possessions and riches or knowledge, but it's not to be
understood as "So what's the use of it all, anyway?" There is a
use in it all, even in the sample of where that kind of thinking led
Solomon, namely to stoop to the dark side in search for ever
more knowledge, experience and wisdom, and in the end, what
he believed turned out to be true for him: it was all in vain!
The best & safest thing to do is to just stick to what I told you,
that you've got to be a baby to go to heaven, you've got to be a
child if you want true wisdom & just "do it cause Daddy said so,"
& trust that I have a perfect plan & purpose in everything. There's
no use worrying about Me making mistakes.
My wisdom of love and obedience is higher than knowledge.
Knowledge puffeth up but love edifieth. A greater one than
Solomon said this, because he had seen that his own knowledge
had all been false & had to be tossed all over, in order to be born
again & become like a child once again. "Forget what you know"
was the name of the game. And especially forget about the evil
lies of the Devil!
Yesterday you had this experience when you were looking into
the eyes of that handicapped child: you realized how full you
were of worldly worries and sorrows, and how far away from the
purity of heaven, compared to the simplicity of that child. Isn't
this one of the greatest supposed "evidences" of the fact that
God indeed makes mistakes? A handicapped child? "How could
God allow this if He were perfect? - To let somebody totally
innocent be born with such deficiency and cause suffering for
him and his parents?"
You were wondering about this yourself. Well, now you know.
You had a glimpse of how I see things. That that little child -
although he may never grow up to be as "smart" & "able" as you
are in this life, yet all the while is closer to heaven than you are,
is purer in My sight, and even to such an extent that you had to
feel ashamed at the comparison.
It reminded you of the visions Rick Joyner had of Heaven, and
how he felt ashamed in the presence of My saints. Well, you felt a
little ashamed in the presence of that little handicapped child,
because you knew that he was a greater saint than you were.
Here you had been fussing and fuming, striving for perfection,
not wanting to be late & you found that this little fellow with not a
care in the world was a much greater saint & so much purer in
My eyes than whatever you had tried to achieve in your own
fleshly efforts.
Can you see it now? The purpose in it all? The difference
between Cain and Abel? The vanity & senselessness of the
striving for carnal perfection and of lack of trust in Me? That
child had more trust in Me and faith than you could muster up in
all your two and a half decades of studying My Word!
So, who's to say who has got more faith? Who's to say how I
measure success or closeness to Me? The greater your trust in
Me, the better off you'll be. Who, by worrying, was ever able to
add one little grain in size to his spiritual stature? Forget about
your worries! Trust in Me! Your worries will just drive you away
from Me temporarily, until you wind up back here at My feet
again, frustrated that all your worries didn't get you one inch
further!
You don't have to make it in your own strength! If you just trust in
Me and wait on Me, I will carry you there!
Do what you can do, but don't worry about a thing! Just honor
Me by trusting Me and refusing to worry! Why walk when you can
fly?

It's not your own goodness or "specialness" that gives you the
conviction to stand up for Me before the whole world! It must be
My Spirit, which is easily shooed away by a display of pride or a
self-righteous attitude. You must know without a doubt that it's
all by My grace & nothing else, otherwise it won't work & the
anointing is withdrawn & you'll find out what you really amount
to & how brave you really are, without Me!
They're a special breed, the "By Grace" clan! They have learned
that it's truly all just Me & not themselves doing it.

Enjoy learning the lessons I'm teaching you! Learning isn't
the same as punishment. It can actually be fun, and you're
acquiring greater & more lasting riches that way than those who
work for money only.
"It's not having what you want, but wanting what you've got!"
Discover the magic & the brilliance in the situation I have blessed
you with! But you can only do so by forgetting about the Devil's
castles in the sky & his daydreams about what could be or could
have been.
What could be or could have been is not as good as that which
is, trust Me. Of all the possible situations & scenarios for you,
this one is the best, this one's No.1, your destiny! So there
should be nothing, no illusion of the Devil or any other thing or
imagination stop you from jumping in with both feet & putting
your whole heart right into this situation that I've given you.
Your happy heavenly Home you're seeking, that Home of hearts,
is right here! Your lesson is right here, your job is right here,
your life & your destiny, everything... right here & right now!
No use worrying about what you're missing out on! The real
party is happening Here, in the Spirit World, and you won't get
any closer to this any other place in the world! Not with tons of
people around you & having loads of fun! This is it! The fun is
coming, too, don't worry!
169 __________________________________________________
What is the greater love, and what is its greater
manifestation? The crush when you were a young boy, or the
faithful years of helping out, even without all that much
emotional involvement?
My love is tangible. It is something you can feel. But it's also
more than that! It goes beyond what you feel, and sometimes
even contrary to what you feel like.
Often you feel like giving up. Why don't you? Because you know
- you don't feel it, but you know - that it's not the right thing to
do. It's that same old story about feeling, faith & fact. You're
learning to see My facts, which are building the faith that will
eventually pull up your feelings again, too.
But don't look at the hole in the donut just because the feelings
might not be there or as strong as you wish! That would be
reversing the situation! You would allow feelings to drag down
your faith and disregard the facts!
For women, feelings and facts are very closely related, simply
because they have a strong intuition that tells them their feelings
are right. But this can also be a dangerous game sometimes,
especially when the Enemy deals them a few "false cards" & their
feelings and intuitions are based on his deceptions.
So, what we're having to establish first of all is the proper
foundation of My facts, none of the Enemy's counterfeits, & in
order to do that, you first have to learn to distinguish between
the two, and to discern what are My unshakable facts, and what
are the fakes that the Devil would like to present as facts.
This logic doesn't appeal to women, but being a man, you need
to know that the ground on which you're building is true, & for
this you need to dispel your doubts. You also want to improve
your house and your building, and then, once everything stands,
& is something worthwhile looking at, then you can feel proud of
it, too, and that happiness sets in that's there when you've
accomplished something, or you know you're on the right track
or simply, "this is it!"
It's not like you're doubting the whole time, either. It's just that
you know that something's missing, you're not done yet, you're
still supposed to do something in order to make it "perfect" - at
least perfect enough so that the picture coincides with your
mental ideal...
You're supposed to learn from each other by accepting each
other's ways & views, opening each other's lives & hearts to each
other. This is what a real marriage is all about.
Learn to communicate with My help. I'm the Center, the Hub, and
you're coming together over Me. I'm the central exchange point
of well-working communication between you, and without Me,
you can't do anything, not even communicate!
But if you focus on Me and keep your faces turned toward Me, I
will be the One Who unites you, Who will interpret what the other
one is really saying. I will show her your heart, when all that
comes out of your mouth is just head & directed by the mind &
your reason. And likewise, I can help you understand what her
often unclear "heart-language" means in your language.
So far, you've been letting the Enemy do a lot of the interpreting,
and purposely twist things around. His goal isn't uniting you,
he's trying to play your words against each other in order to
divide & conquer, to separate.
So, whenever she says something that might rub you the wrong
way, turn to Me and ask Me for the discernment and the
interpretation of it! I can show you the heart, & that it's really not
meant the way the Devil would like to twist it. That's why he who
answers a matter before he hears it is a fool: you've got to first
hear it properly, with My ears, and not just flare up in a snap
reaction based on your first - often misguided interpretation &
perception.
So, there's lots to learn, isn't there? But that's what you're here
to do! You never knew how little you knew, did you? About the
real essential things in life, even such basic things as
communication between 2 human beings... There's a lot more
that you don't know than you know!
She just needs to be sure and know that you love her, & then her
day & little machine will run smoothly. But if you get distracted &
become too busy to hear out her heart... it gets tough for her to
keep functioning. There's more to being a husband than just
"being there."
You need to really be there, in a tangible way, tangible to her
sixth sense, that intuition I gave women. If you're not, the Devil
will try to fill that void with his input.
A lot of women simply adapt to men in this aspect & just block
out or mute those senses, sometimes successfully, sometimes
not, or they focus on the mundane things, which are also
important & need to be taken care of. But just as it is difficult for
you to live and operate in this loveless world, so it is for her, and
in order for her little world to be in order, she needs to know & be
sure that you love her, so you've got to make sure she knows,
the best you can.
Take more time to express love in those little ways that are so
important to woman. Look for opportunities to do that, make it
more of a priority & something important to you. Learn it!
What's there to do that's so much more important than letting the
person closest to you know that you love her? Love begets love!
You will never regret any amount of love you invest your
energies in showing! "Whatever thou spendest, I will repay."
(Luk.10:35)

In order to enjoy some things, you just need to work hard. That's
the reason why most people work so hard: they want to enjoy
more things! You are happy & content with less, but you realize
that it would be nice to have a few additional blessings. And
you're going to have to work harder at it!
There's a fine line between waiting on Me and not realizing that
I'm waiting for you to get busy. Waiting on Me doesn't mean
staying inactive. There's always room for improvement & ways to
become more efficient. I want you to come up with the best
possible results in productivity because I know that as a result,
the happier you're going to be, because you'll feel accomplished

I'm aiming at your reaching a point of greater productivity &

I want you to follow Me closely along each step of the way,
constantly seeking Me for My direction. Weighing each of the
factors against each other, you'll come to the right conclusion of
what's best to do concerning a matter in your particular situation.
Every person and situation is unique, and you need to find out
with My help which one applies to you: is it time for you to join
the children of Israel in the mud, making bricks for the Egyptians,
or are you called to tend sheep in order to be prepared to free
them from their slavery? Whose servant are you called to be?
Find out what your faith is, where you stand, what you're willing
to do, what you have the greatest burden and faith for, coming
back to Me about it & weighing all the details against each other...
Study and investigate the matter!
How will it affect you spiritually? Will it buy you the ticket to
freedom or will it turn into a golden calf, or both?
There's no way for you to find out the entire future of what's
going to happen beforehand, but you can consider the risks
involved, talk about what each of you have the greatest faith to
do, etc.
What is the greater danger in your situation? That of never
achieving anything, or that of becoming a System slave? What
are your motivations?
Being a System slave can be better than being a captive of Pride.
Are you seeking the path of the least resistance or are you really
seeking to obey Me?
Search your heart for hidden motivations, wrong attitudes, which
could lead you up the wrong path!
There are many reasons why it pays to get your directions &
instructions, counsel & guidance from Me. "Come now & let us
reason together..."
I like to communicate with you!
There is hardly anything more important to Me than achieving
that My children learn to walk the right path, in the right direction,
based on the right instructions from Me; that they become
liberated from the confusion that's a result of the Devil's lies
they've often grown up with; that they can see instead of
wandering around groping through the darkness.
There's scarcely anything more important for Me than ensuring
that each of you find the center of My perfect will for you, that
you take time to learn to hit the mark instead of missing it, and
I'm a very patient teacher.

have enough faith... to hell with all that rubbish! It's irrelevant,
just like all the other baloney the Devil concocts in order to get
your focus off your goal & off your task, to reach out & touch
them!
If you'd only reach out and touch them and would listen to their
voice... Hear their inner heartcry for what you've got to give! You
can't keep it in! Believe it, act on it, do it & send the Enemy back
to hell where he belongs!
Live, love, give whatever you have to give, just do it! Withhold no
longer!
I want you to wake up every morning fully conscious of the vast
oceans of love and spiritual wealth that you've got to give &
share with everybody.
Start pouring out! It is time! You must start pouring into everyone
you come across. Get out of idle gear & make some uphill
progress. You've made your U-turn and you've turned around in
the right direction, now you've just got to get going! Zoom in
onto the goal that lies before you & step on the gas!
The Devil is keeping you from giving the love you ought to. And
as a result of that lack of love, there is a whole flood of lies he
can pour into their vacancy for the Devil's input.
It's like Adam standing by & just watching Eve when she ate the
fruit, instead of defending her from the Devil's lies & stopping her
from doing it. And often, blaming Eve, or womankind in general
continuously for the result of what happened, is one of the
causes for a lot that's going on in the world, & one of those
devilish schemes I'm trying to expose: the Devil tempts you to
blame them and you become resentful. He gives you an excuse
for not loving them and you fall for it! There IS no excuse for
failing to love! To love is the one and only commandment, so why
don't you keep it?
And to love does not just mean to passively & reluctantly
tolerate. To love is reaching out, actively going on the attack &
doing something to alter your "neighbor's" state, not blaming
them, but taking the responsibility to do something about it!
You see how much I can teach you about the very basic
mysteries of life if you just take this time with Me seriously
enough & don't just view it as a repetitious duty or ritual? Reject
the lie of the Enemy that you're powerless and that you've got
nothing to give, for you've got everything! There is no limit to
what you can give, if you'll only start! There's an unlimited
supply of fuel in your vehicle, but you still think you've got to
power it by your own puny force, like riding a bike uphill, when
all you need to do is step on the gas, rev it up & get going!
Stop looking at the non-existent void & emptiness that the Devil
is trying to paint before your mental eye & look at My riches that
are yours to give! You can really play Big Spender & dish it all
out! Imagine you had an unlimited amount of money to give away
to people, to whoever you met, and whoever would take it! Of
course, some won't believe it & think it's just a joke, but others
are just waiting for you to pull it out of your pockets!
I seriously want you to start viewing yourself as a multi-
billionaire whose sole purpose for existence it is to reduce the
poverty of the world & get busy dishing out the wealth! Start
handing out the money & see how you'll be changing your part of
the world! Whatever thou spendest, I will more than repay!
Every little drop of love you'll pour into each hungry & love-
thirsty soul by your side will not return to you void. It'll grow and
grow an hundred-fold! Every bit of spiritual wealth you'll be
passing out will be multiplied over and over again, if you'll just
start. Remember the parable of the buried talent.
It's time to dig up your wealth, pass it on, invest it and watch it
multiply! You have stored up & hoarded quite some riches for
yourself now, but you must no longer withhold them! It's time to
wake up to what you've got, to what your task is, and time to stop
allowing the Enemy to fool you & grind your fruitfulness to a halt!
Time to call his bluff! Time to rebuke his lying vanities, his empty
lies, his illusions and apparitions, his false portrayal of things.
You must learn to recognize the Devil's workings in your life. Just
ignoring him won't do the trick! He's an Enemy that's to be taken
very seriously, and ignoring him could be the biggest mistake
you ever made!
It may be unpleasant having to deal with the Enemy, but what
else is a war but having to constantly face & confront & deal with
your enemy? - Exposing his tactics, finding out which way he
operates, what he's trying to achieve, etc. And you must find
ways to lick him, beat him, destroy him!
But instead of focusing on attacking and fighting him, he is
trying to divert your attention & get you to focus on yourself,
your weaknesses, your desires, your wants, your lacks. He
doesn't want you to focus on using the weapon in your hand to
smite him!
173 __________________________________________________
You sometimes tend to limit Me and My riches in your mind &
think there isn't much left to learn, to find out. Knowledge can be
one of the Enemy's greatest temptations, and it takes a lot of
self-discipline to stay on the straight & narrow of the simplicity of
My Gospel.
My voice is much better heard and perceived in the silence than
when surrounded by others, especially those who still soak up
whatever pleasures and enticements the world has to offer.
The real thing is Here, where I am and rule and reign, in the
invisible, eternal realm. But "invisible" often isn't good enough
for those of little faith.
It's all by faith, and without it, it's pretty hard to find My favor,
because faith is the basis of it all, the primary condition. You
have to be willing to make a declaration that you prefer
something you don't see over something that you can see.
Otherwise there's no use in even starting or pretending to walk
or live by faith.
It means establishing a connection with invisible entities, people,
beings, whatever you want to call them, and allow them to
become more important to you than some of the visible ones.
The gifts of the Spirit are only found by those who truly seek
them, and in order to seek them you must spend time in the Spirit
Realm, you must show some interest.
You're learning to love, you're learning to fight your spiritual
enemy, you're learning where to find those spiritual riches and
nourishment for your soul! You're learning to communicate with
the eternal ones instead of allowing the Devil's vain voices and
sirens to drown you out & hypnotize and entice you!
It's a myriad of little, seemingly insignificant choices you're
having to make each day, as to who you're going to listen to,
whom are you going to follow, My voice and the whispers of
wisdom, or the Devil's roaring cheers, laughter and enticing
songs?
Keep your focus on the spiritual. Make the right choices!
Distinguish between the Devil's lures & My whispers, and
between the way the world sees things and My way. Discern the
spirits. Seek wisdom. In the silence you will hear things that
really count and will make history. Here on the mountain! Not
down in the valley. They're going to be washed away by the next
flood, the coming flood of the Devil's lies & iniquity that only
relatively few will be spared from, as Noah and his family, or Lot
and his...
Refuse to go the way of the world, refuse to be colored by their
influences, refuse to accept their standards! Question everything
you hear, except what you know comes from My good,
wholesome sources! And impart what you've been given to
others, to those who will listen to and receive you.
174 __________________________________________________
I want you to stick to what's clean and wholesome & not drag
in dirt and pollution from the world into your life and into your
midst, this sacred temple of your Home, which I want to set apart
and consecrate for Me.
I want you to shut your doors to the temptations and perversions
of the Enemy and discern hard between what is of Me and what is
of him, for you cannot drink of My cup and his at the same time!
I want you to open your door more for Me to cleanse your life in
& teach you My pure, giving and edifying ways of love and not
the worldly ways of lust!
Compared to the purity Adam & Eve had experienced in the
Garden, all else was husks. All they wanted was get back to the
garden, and the thrills and pleasures of this sinful world were
only shadows in comparison.
But you can look forward to the Garden & you can start enjoying
the wholesome, pure ways of loving of the future right now, & be
aware of not letting any of the defilements of the world enter in.
Keep it pure; free of any of the influences of the world.
Ask Me to open your eyes and to renew your vision! All the fancy
images of distraction of the Enemy are disappearing, and now
you're ready for My picture! Seek it with your whole heart.
175 __________________________________________________
It just won't work to do things without checking in with Me! If
you want My blessing on something, come & get it!

Harmony can be obtained by keeping the code of conduct
that is appropriate for My children: a code that prefers the others'
welfare over their own & that will do everything in one's power to
avoid causing the other's discomfort on your own behalf. If the
others' welfare is actually more important to you than your own,
you'll simply conduct yourself in a manner that will always try to
make sure that you are making things alright for them. You walk
of their need.
Your whole attitude is geared toward them instead of your own
needs and desires. It means to lick selfishness & to put your
whole self on the backburner for the sake of others. For some
people that's extremely difficult, because the Enemy tries to get
them all wrapped up in themselves, makes them conscious of
their needs, their lacks & their unfulfilled desires & so that's all
they can focus on temporarily, until they decide to just forsake all
that, ask Me to help them overcome all that in order for unity to
continue to thrive & prosper.
It is indeed a noble goal to strive for, a purpose and a cause to
live for, and the ultimate fulfillment of it is "Greater love hath no
man than this that a man lay down his life for his friends." That
love doesn't just come over night or all of a sudden. If you
haven't been willing to lay down your life everyday in the little
things & ways for others, if you constantly prefer your own
welfare & consider your own well-being more important than
theirs, then you won't be able to lay down your life for them in a
real life & death situation either. It starts today, with the little
things.
Unity with your brethren & co-fighters is not only a cause worth
living for, but also worth dying for, beginning with the dying daily
of the little sacrifices you gladly make for each other, and that's
the original spirit that used to permeate Family Homes and the
spirit of every true Christian and child of God that ever lived
throughout the ages.
It just means to constantly look out for opportunities to make life
a little easier & more pleasant for the others... to seek for ways to
serve each other. It really makes life more enjoyable. So many
have lost and forgotten that art, mostly due to familiarity. As soon
as they notice an unpleasant quality in someone they often
figure, "Oh, they're so far from perfect, why should I do them a
favor?" Or, "They've got this & that weakness, certainly they're
not worthy of me sacrificing anything of my own resources or
efforts for them..." This doesn't happen consciously, but it's often
the underlying attitude that's there.
Whereas the kind of love I want you to have for one another is
the kind that is blind to each other's faults, that just keeps loving
unconditionally, that refuses to let the Enemy plant any negative
thoughts about them in your mind & automatically casts a veil
over any fault or flaw you might detect in them. You make that
conscious decision: "No, I refuse to focus on that flaw in that
person." And you can ask Me, "Lord, help me to see them as You
do!"
"If you look for the bad in people, you'll find it." So in order to
maintain unity you refuse to look for it. Even if the Devil insists
on showing you the bad, "Look here, their flaws, they're obvious,
look at them!" You just slam the door in his face & say, "Get lost,
punk!" And you refuse to even look at it. You just make a
constant decision to accept them the way they are, which will
also give you the grace to lovingly point out any shortcomings to
them without offending them. You can tell them almost anything
you want to, and they'll always feel that your words are spoken in
love, if your attitude behind it is, "Look, I love and accept you the
way you are, but the Lord was laying it on my heart that perhaps
you might actually be happier if you were more considerate of
this or that fact..." If you really love a person, you can find ways
to even point out their shortcomings to them without causing
them hurt or offense. The trick is not to focus on the weakness
but on the person and how wonderful they really are, or even if
they're not & they've got a lot to work on, how wonderful they
could become by My grace, if only shown enough unconditional
love, and that you have faith in them in spite of anything.
Your attitude must be, "Even if you're never going to get the
victory over that weakness, I will love you just the same. But if
you want, I can help you overcome your weakness & maybe we
can overcome it with united efforts..."
But you must never let another's weakness affect your love for
them. You must keep it unconditional. That's superhuman love,
but it's the kind of love available to you by My Spirit! You've just
got to reach out and receive it in the same way you're reaching
out and receiving this prophecy. You just pull it down from
heaven with that drawing power called faith, the "little strength"
that you have, which flips the switch that makes available for you
all the superhuman power that I have for you, in order to perform
all those superhuman feats that others are incapable of. All
you've got to do is ask Me for it and believe it!
Just pull it down, bit by bit, let the power run through your lines
unit by unit, the same way electricity runs through the cables in
your house & enables your machines to work!
It's not any harder than what you're doing right now. The only
difference is that you wanted the gift of prophecy badly enough
in order to focus on it and believe Me for it, and you received it,
and you can receive any of those other gifts in the same manner!
You just focus on it and then draw it down, you just use it, avail
yourself of it, you make it happen, that's all. Just because you
believe it. And just the same way you refuse to live a single day
without receiving My living Words to you, you can also refuse to
go for one single day without the power of My supernatural &
divine, unconditional love! You just avail yourself of it in the
same manner as prophecy or any other gift you have the faith for
receiving. My gifts will make you truly happy, and you can make
Me happy, too, by believing Me for it and just availing yourself of
all that you need. It will help you make others happier, too, and
we're all going to be one big happy Family, the way I ordained it
to be, by each one availing themselves of the power and the gifts
at their disposal, using & sharing & making My power work for
everyone involved, just like a power circuit will go from utility to
utility & light this lamp & that one & the other, until we've turned
darkness into day! Just put a little love in your heart & shed a
little light in theirs!
It's pitiful when My children grope about without it, when they go
with so much less than they could be availing themselves of! So,
when you see a need, when you see a hole, some flaw in
someone that needs an infusion of My love & Spirit, don't make
the mistake of shutting up your bowels of compassion & turning
off your own light to them! Just turn it on & let it shine all the
more brightly in spite of that flaw, in spite of that darkness until
you've ignited them, too. Just keep shining on in spite of

against whom you are fighting, and that in order for Me to protect
you unconditionally, you must make sure you abide within the

that I will protect and bless you in all you do.
181 __________________________________________________
There are a lot of things going on in your life that you're not
aware of, mistakes that you're making you're not aware of, forces
affecting your life, etc. So it pays to tune in to the Spirit World to
find out what they are, because I and your spirit helpers, are
aware of them and can reveal them to you, if you're only
interested enough & care enough to find out & listen.
You must study & investigate at times in order to really find out
what happened, what's been going on here, "who dunnit?" "Why
are we stuck in a rut & don't seem to be making progress?" And
that's exactly what We're here for: to let you know.
You don't have to grope around blindly in the dark, clueless to
the machinations of the Devil & what he's been up to in your life
in order to sabotage My plans for you. You can find out. That's
what prophecy is for. You don't have to be ignorant of the Devil's
devices, plans & schemes, in fact you shouldn't and must not!
My heavenly forces are in a way like policemen or officers of law
enforcement, and it is their job to catch and expose the culprit. A
crime has been committed - or rather, countless crimes - and it is
their and your duty to find out who was responsible for this. Who
were the perpetrators? Who instigated it, and who were the
helpers? Who was involved?
You won't be able to solve the whole mystery of My workings in
this life, but I'm giving you a glimpse. There's a lot to learn,
there's a lot to find out, and only those who don't see it, those
who don't have a clue to the vastness of all that is there to
explore & to find out about, actually get bored with all the
potential excitement around them that they're not even aware of.
There's so much more going on behind the scenes that concerns
you than you could ever even possibly find out in life. It will be
one of the greatest & very special kicks for you in Heaven to
solve the final mysteries & see My perfect sense in it all! Right
now you can only see it by faith, but that faith is growing. In other
words, your ability to see the hidden mysteries of the spirit is
slowly growing, and day by day there is more & more to discover.
And the more you discover, the more you will be able to pass on
and impart to others with ever growing clarity.
Even though there is so much more going on than you could
even begin to grasp with your earthly mind, all you really need to
know is that you can trust Me fully, that I'm in control, and I will
only allow things to happen to you that will be good for you in
the end, because of My great love for you, because you have
chosen to love Me.
I will always cause the wrath of man to praise Me in the end, &
you will see how it worked out for the best, after all.
Just hang on through this time of relative ignorance, where
you're having to look for clues here & there as to what's really
going on. It'll just make the anticipation of coming to My full light
& knowledge greater & more exciting.
"Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of His saints." It's
the final orgasm, the climax of your life's symphony and
relationship with Me, like a dance that culminates in ardent
passion & the final peak... the moment when you'll know even as
you are known. So, look ahead, look forward! There's something
exciting to look forward to! That mark of the price is really worth
it!
182 __________________________________________________
Make My cause yours, and you'll really have something to
say! If it's just your own opinion you're pushing, you'll only be
adding to the sea of voices & confusion. But if you become a
mouthpiece for Me, I'm going to see to it that you're going to be
heard!
183 __________________________________________________
You're not alone! This is not the end of the world. Just
another step closer to Me, closer to the goal! Closer is the word
of the hour! It may not seem like it, and it looks as if it's through
a whirl wind of turmoil & confusion, but nothing can change the
fact that I'm using this to simply draw you closer. Because that's
where I want you: closer! And that's where you're going to be:
closer. Closer to Me and closer to My Kingdom, closer to the
truth!
184 __________________________________________________
Be more considerate of Me. To consider means to take note
of, to pay attention to. You're still paying a lot more attention to
people, than you are paying attention to Me. You're still more
preoccupied with pleasing them than pleasing Me.
That's why I said I'm a jealous God. As long as people's opinions
are still more important to you than what I've got to say, you're
not really My servant, but theirs. If you're going to be My servant,
then it's expedient that you heed Me first of all and make it your
primary responsibility to make sure you're pleasing Me.
You like to mingle & like to be accepted. But one disadvantage of
that is that you easily compromise My standards in order to
please them. You want them to think well of you. But I've said in
My Word, "Woe unto you if all men speak well of you."
You want people to like you and love you. That's natural. But
your primary concern should not be that people like you and love
you, but to love Me and obey My Word on how to best love them.
To love others, according to My standards, doesn't mean to do all
you can to please them so that you can be sure they'll love you,
but to do the things that I tell and show you they will need the
most.
The only hope you have is to stick close to Me and get your
instructions from Me about what I want you to give to those
around you, how I want you to manifest to them My love and My
idea of love.
There comes a time when I want you to learn to stand up for your
convictions.
Sometimes you've got to take a hard stand in order to do the
right thing and fight the wrong! You've got to learn to be
consistently tough, yet loving.
We're fighting a tough & mean enemy. That means we've got to
learn to be tough, too, sometimes.
You've got to do what I'm putting on your heart. You've got to
obey Me even if they're going to hate you for it!
How well are they going to think of you if all your efforts to make
it right for everyone and to please them become so frustrating
that you wind up in rage and frustrated anger?

My old greats of faith like Moses, King David & My prophets
of old certainly prayed a lot! They didn't think they were all that
smart as to be able to handle things themselves & they fell flat on
their faces about the situations they found themselves in on a
regular, daily basis!
Nowadays you people think you're so smart, you're lacking the
desperation & the humility to just surrender & realize there's no
way on earth you can do it on your own. And so, instead of
committing those issues into My care, you try to figure them out
on your own.

192 __________________________________________________
You still have a lot to learn about faithfulness in the little
things.
You can be My hero by being faithful in the small & little things.
When I meant for you to shoot your arrow into the unseen
distance, do you think I was talking about physical distance? I'm
asking you to aim for My Realm! My Realm is the invisible
horizon I want you to shoot for, and the only place where you're
really going to find your dream and its fulfillment. My Realm is
the "Real Thing."
The temporal realm is nearly unreal by comparison to My eternal
and everlasting values. That's why I mean for you not to seek
great things for yourself, as it says in Jeremiah, nor to dream of
accomplishing great & mighty works. The little things you can
accomplish by striving for the gifts of humility and faithfully
doing whatever you can to really unselfishly be of help to others
for them to make it on their way, that's what I consider mighty
works.
For I look not as man sees. To be faithful in prayer for others, to
be faithfully studying and absorbing My Word, to faithfully tend
to the needs of the little ones around you, to faithfully and
humbly and gratefully continue to praise Me, even in the midst of
adverse circumstances... that's what I call mighty feats of the
Spirit!
Your prayers are like that arrow, and My heart is the goal, and
that what you aim for is the things you would like Me to
accomplish for you.
My warriors are warriors of the Spirit! My battle is happening in
the realm of the spirit!
The only way victories over evil spirits are won are through
humbly using the spiritual weapons of prayer, praise and
claiming My promises; in other words, by hoping & trusting in
Me to do the real fighting for you!
You can summon My angels and My spiritual fighters to come to
your aid by availing yourself of the spiritual weapons.
You must let go of the flesh and embrace the Spirit if you want to
win the battles before you.
"Come on down, walk on the ground with Jesus!" You're not
going to do anybody much good up there, floating high above
everybody else... You'd be much more of a help right down there
in the nitty-gritty, pitching in with all the little things that need to
be done & that are necessary in order to make life smooth &
workable for everyone.
The victory is not won by restlessly wandering off toward distant,
solitary horizons & daydreams, but by faithfully observing the
humble tasks I ask you to do! And sticking to them consistently.
193 __________________________________________________
Welcome to the modus operandi of how things should and
are supposed to be! Welcome to the way it works when you are
in unity! Welcome to victory level! It's amazing what it took just
to get there, isn't it? Just a little bit of love. Just a little bit of
giving of yourself! See, when I'm asking you to put Me first, this
doesn't always mean that you have to absolve your full 2 hours
of time with Me before you can show those by your side some
love! In fact, I prefer if you go to it & put into action right away
what I show you within the first 5 minutes, & then you can come
back to Me for more later on, that's fine.
But when someone is in need of love - especially someone as
special and important as your co-pillar that alongside you
upholds the structure of your Home - that's always a priority for
Me, and you have My permission to answer the need
immediately!
Making love conditional is such a nuisance of the Enemy! He
makes you take on the role of the judge & jury in your mind &
utter the verdict: "No, I won't love you or show you any love
because you have failed in this & that or because you've
committed this or that wrong..."
That's also the picture he would like to paint of Me in the minds
of each of My children. I'm so glad you're finally getting to know
the real and truthful picture of Me, of Who I really am, and what
I'm really like. And that's precisely the picture and message I'd
love you to convey & pass on to others.
Somebody's gotta tell'em that I love them! I don't want to judge
them, I don't want to accuse them, I don't want to hold grudges
against them, I just want to love them!
Every failure you spot in others, I'm allowing them to happen in
order to deal with something in your life that needs straightening
out! Nothing happens by accident. And it's often a test of,
"What's he gonna do? How's he gonna react? Is he going to self-
righteously blame & point the finger & put on a harsh &
unforgiving attitude? Or is he going to remember that he himself
is also to blame for the same thing, and use it as a reminder of
his own NWOs and treat the matter in a loving manner, the way
he would like to be treated himself?" For "with the same measure
ye mete it shall be measured to you again." (Matth.7:2)
Blaming and holding things against another creates an iron wall
of separation between you, and will separate you from the people
you're trying to minister to, and consequently from any fruit you
might bear otherwise and the bountiful results I would have you
reap in your life if you'd walk in love as you have been loved.
Don't let the Devil trick you & cheat you out the joy of giving what
you have been given!
194 __________________________________________________
Getting to know Me is part of the purpose of life... You can't
really love someone unless you know them, right? So, in order to
learn to love Me it sure helps to get to know Me.
You've got to learn to handle a two-people relationship before
you can learn how to deal with more. Never underestimate the
power of 2 or 3 gathered together in My name.
It's a reminder of the importance of little things for someone like
you, who would prefer to be totally in tune and in sync with the
whole universe immediately: If you can't even get a little 2-person
relationship into sync and in tune, how can you expect to get in
sync with the entire universe?
Start off with (a bite on) something you can actually chew.
If you can't lay down your life for this one, who's to guarantee
that you'll ever be able to do so for anyone?
Learning to love your neighbor as yourself, and getting to know
Me better... hey what was that about the purpose of life? I think
we're getting mighty close here.
195 __________________________________________________

as strong as your weakest member, and if one of you falls, it
shows that you didn't do a good job in making sure your spiritual
walls were fortified & strong enough to make sure that everybody
was going to withstand this attack.
You've got to stop thinking in terms of an independent individual
& start thinking in terms of a unit. What's best for the unit, for the
body, for the Home?
Things change in the spirit the very moment you make the
decision to let something else take the priority over the most

You made the wrong choice, and the repercussions of it were a
steady decline of your spiritual strength, of the spiritual walls of
your Home, your vessel, whatever you want to term it. As its

198 __________________________________________________
The greatest way in which you can manifest your faith in My
Words is by obeying them.
I shine My love on you and you reflect it to the World...
Sometimes you achieve the greatest results & effectiveness not
by doing it all yourself, but by focusing & transferring whatever
amount of love and power you've got onto a certain vessel,
receptacle or tool that can do the work much better for you!
It takes all unnecessary pressure off your back, of thinking
you've got to do it & yet feeling so incapable, when I'm showing
you, you don't have to do it, you can just let them do a lot of it for
you.
It always sounded abusive to you, like slavery, to "use"
somebody. But that's all that some people need and want.
Including Me! I like you to use Me! I can't wait for you to use Me
and put Me to work, put Me to the test, to make Me do it for you!
Isn't it a relief to have those around who are glad to do it for you
when you feel like you just can't? Well, you can! Through them!
Everybody in life has got their purpose, their place and their
perfect task, and there's nothing wrong with the fact that some
are existing to serve. The trick is to return the service with the
appropriate amount of appreciation, kindness, attention and love.
The Devil has drilled this dislike to the idea of "serving" and
being used into people's heads, when that's what a lot of them
really inwardly long for and are destined to do! And on the other
hand he places some sense of false humility into others, who
think they should do it themselves, and they fall under
condemnation over the fact that they just cannot... I have
ordained it thus that they don't have to do it themselves. All
they've got to do is what I've enabled them to do, to love maybe
just one key person and focus on them & pour all the love into
them that they've got, and that person will spread that love to
many others.
It's like one of those water pitchers for watering plants: you pour
your water in in, and it comes out over a larger area than you
could have covered, and without making a mess! Everybody's
got their purpose & it will work wonders if shine your love on the
chosen receptacle for all you've got to give. Never forget your
most important job and responsibility.
It's as if I would have given Eve to Adam for a help to meet his
needs & he would have said, "Uh, no, Lord, it's okay... Thanks,
but I actually think I'm going to manage just fine by myself..."
The history of mankind might have become a lot happier tale to
tell if men - instead of running off & waging wars or trying to
become richer than their fellowman in order to make a great
name for themselves - would have been more aware of the role
they were destined to play, which would have been to truly love
their women and make sure that they were completely fulfilled in
doing their jobs & fulfilling their destinies.
Love just didn't sound like an occupation worth their time. Well, it
was for Me, and that's the big difference between those who
follow Me and those who follow the ways of the world and their
god... I am never too busy for love, nor is anything else ever
more important to Me than love. There is never anything more
important than to make sure you're fulfilling your destiny to love.
Love is your destiny!
Realize just how important it is and you're failing if you don't
love, no matter how great & wonderful you think whatever else
you're doing might be!
Acquiring riches or conquering lands, all that is naught if they
have failed to love. No matter what you did, it is nothing,
compared to love! Every humble little person who just did
whatever they could to show somebody sincere and genuine love
is greater in My eyes than all the great conquerors, heroes, super
stars and multi-millionaires together!
Love is the secret. Foolish is the man who neglects it. Wise is he
who respects it. Perfect will he be who makes it his all-in-all. For I
am Love and thus, love IS all-in-all!
199 __________________________________________________
I love to answer your questions. But I don't always like to
hand you the answer on a silver platter & tell you the whole score
in advance. I like to keep some things a mystery, at least for a
while & long enough to give you time to make an effort to use
your brain to find out what you can about it. Godly wisdom and
knowledge are gifts of the Spirit. You just have to discern
between System input and My wisdom, or carnal thinking.
Or the freedom of choice I have given everyone to either doubt or
believe Me.
Some of the things you know today weren't necessarily always
clear to all the angels. When Adam & Eve ate of the forbidden
fruit, not all of them were aware of the fact that this was what had
been expected. So, these things can be a test of faith sometimes.
When it seems like God failed, only those who loyally believe in
their hearts that He really IS infallible can keep believing, trusting
and obeying Him.
The temptation is there to think, "What is He doing? That's not
right..." And the temptation of self-righteousness, of thinking you
could or would have done better. That choice is there, for
everyone. Constantly. That's the plan of free choice.
You may be tempted to think, "Hey, God, what's up with Your
Family? They're failing You left & right..."
Maybe this is your weak point, your point of temptation, where
you're having a hard time trusting Me for all things... You may
trust Me in everything else, but when it comes to My people, My
Family, you seem to have the tendency to think that I don't quite
know what I'm doing, or that I'm not capable of coming up with
something you would consider they ought to be.
But why should I withhold the same freedom of choice that I gave
Adam & Eve from the Family? Why should I painstakingly see to
it that the Family is "perfect," without the option of failing, (and
I'm talking about every single individual), when that is the overall,
grand plan? You see, the plan is to show how I can use you, how
I can work through you, in spite of your weaknesses.
That's exactly the big lesson I want to teach the Devil and all
those on his "perfection through own abilities" trip: the more
feverishly someone tries to be perfect in their own strength, the
bigger the mess they're making out of things, whereas the
greatest saints who ever lived learned to let Me do all things
through them.
No matter how hopeless a case you may be in the eyes of others
- or others may be in your eyes - I can use both, you and them, in
spite of it, if you'll just let Me & give Me a chance. That no flesh
should glory in My presence. That I will get the glory for it, since
I'm the One Who initiated the whole thing in the first place, and
the One Who will complete it. The only difference is between
those who think they can do it themselves and those who got the
point that there's no way on earth, no chance in a lifetime that
they can, without Me.
And that's what's going to make the one difference that counts
between the Family and the rest of the world: the realization that
it's not in you or them, but in Me. As Dad said, "Lord-letters." To
each one of you applies what Dad said, "When He can get you
out of the way, then He has a chance!"
And as long as there are all these disturbing elements of self in
the way, that seek for a way to pat yourselves on the back for
what you've accomplished, instead of letting go & letting Me do it
through you & seeking to give Me all the credit & glory for it, it's
not where it's at.
Usually the point where people really get to the point of letting
Me do it through them comes with times of great desperation, in
times of great crises & great need. As long as everything is
affluent, as long as it's times of peace & plenty, usually My
people simply aren't desperate enough to be willing to just have
themselves "erased" & just let Me be there through them...
Again, it's like the Garden of Eden: the situation was too perfect,
too smooth, too easy for them, there was no need to get
desperate, they felt no need to watch out for temptation, to seek
Me as fervently as Adam did after the fall, to find out what the
Devil was up to next.
It may seem a little unfair to you that I'm having to use all these
adverse & difficult situations in order to get people to allow Me to
use them - and for them to use Me, seek My wisdom & answers,
etc. - but that is really only because you see it from your own
subjective point of view. You like to have things easy. That's your
personality. And as soon as things get tough, you complain,
"that's not fair!" But that's where you have to trust Me when I say,
"Well the easy way may look best to you, but it doesn't to Me!"
You may think the easy way is the best, but I see it differently! To
you, the easy, comfortable & smooth way, the path of the least
resistance & friction may seem the most desirable, but I say, "not
so."
That's why I'm trying to get you to enjoy & relish the battles &
hardships, to rejoice in them and to praise Me for them, because,
contrary to your own natural inclinations, they're the best things
that can happen to you! Without them you would become
pampered, spoiled, lethargic, indifferent, lacking all incentive to
seek Me - much less desperately - in short, useless. As far as I'm
concerned.
So, your troubles & trials make you what you're supposed to be!
They change you from something I can't use into useful tools &
instruments in My service. They may be the things you least want
nor appreciate in your life, but I say, appreciate them, because
you need them! Rejoice in them and praise Me for them,
because... You want the Family to become what they're meant to
be? Well, that's the way! Those troubles, trials, afflictions,
problems & battles... all those things you'd preferably do without,
are the very things that are going to accomplish that & bring
about the changes you need!
And that means, the harder they are, the better and more
effective they're going to be. That's why you'd better get used to
fighting & battling mode. Because the more you battle and fight,
the stronger you're going to be - in Me. And the stronger in Me
you'll be, the more My light & love they'll see!
Rejoice & praise Me every day for your troubles, for every
moment & situation when things are not "the way they're
supposed to be." Thank Me for your challenges. Therein lies the
secret of recent success and progress!
Praising Me for your battles and challenges is one of the most
positive, effective & powerful actions a human can take, and
applying one of the most powerful & devastating weapons
against the Enemy of your souls. Praise Me for your afflictions,
battles & adversities.
200 __________________________________________________
Your destiny is to give, and to give and always to give, even
if there doesn't seem to be anything to give. As long as you keep
giving, I will give back to you.
In your poverty I am making you richer than others who bask &
dwell in their material riches. St. Martin didn't say, "Well, if I had 2
coats, I would give you one," but he gave half of his own. It is
time for more heroes and saintly knights like that, and I want you
to be like that.
I want you to live what others are preaching. I want you to be a
living sample of true Christianity & show the world that there is
still hope. Just the fact that there are people who don't only care
about themselves, but will also give of their own substance, even
to their own hurt, will be a spark of hope that will rekindle the
faith in many, even in the darkest time of the history of the world.
Setting your affections on things above & not on things of this
earth means to make people and souls your true and lasting
riches. Accumulating physical wealth is hardly a cause worth
living for. And if so, then at least you can use it to share it with
the needy and help others when you can...
But you must focus beyond material things. They cannot be what
your life revolves around.
Your main focus should always be on Me and the job I have given
you of giving, loving & caring for others.
201 __________________________________________________
Make a positive difference! The art lies in seeing in others the
good & positive that is not so obviously seen... to patiently put
up with others' flaws & be helpful, loving & tolerant.
You cannot go by the sample others showed you, because I have
given you different strengths, a different capacity to love...
You're different, so don't go by how others have treated you,
because I have equipped you differently in order to be able to act
differently. I have created you in order to make a difference, not
to conform to the already existing way of doing things. It's not
the time anymore for you to imitate others' behavior, but to come
up with your own, based on My instructions.
I may ask you to do things nobody else has ever done before. I
have equipped you with the crazy faith to believe Me for things I
may never have asked of anyone else, or that you've never heard
or seen before...
It's in your power to make a difference, and it's about time you
wake up to that calling & live up to it! Don't sink back into the
morass & mire of sleepy conformity, but dare to be different, and
not only different, but unique! Because you are. There is nobody
in the whole universe quite like you, so, trying to fit into the mold
of others & yielding to the Devil's attempts to get you to blend in
& just act like everybody else is denying your true calling & your
real identity.
You're not like everybody else, period! I want you to act in each
situation not as you may have learned from old, existing patterns
of how people habitually act in such situations, but to come up
with your own, brand new patterns, based on what I'm telling
you, how you're supposed to act.
Don't be like everybody else, be what I'm telling you to be & what
I want you to be. Don't act like everybody else, but do what I tell
you and want you to do, even if nobody has ever done it before.
This isn't the same as wanting to be a "special" sheep. I'm calling
people to step out & have the guts to dare to be different again &
do unusual things, things nobody else has ever done or tried
before.
202 __________________________________________________
Your anger stems from the frustration about things not being
the way you think they should be. You think life is treating you
unfairly, you deserve better than that, & a lot of that anger is
directed at Me and those whom I seem to prefer in your eyes, by
making things easier for them.
Instead of respecting My judgment, it leads you to defiance &
rebellion against Me... you think you know better and would have
done better, if you were Me, which is exactly the kind of pride that
caused Satan to fall. It's the root of all sin, and you must
recognize that it's the very spirit of Satan complaining about Me,
cursing Me and wishing he would be in My stead. You think you
could do better than I, if you were endowed with My powers, you
think you're more just, more righteous, you deserve more than
what I'm handing you. But only in the yielding to My better
judgment & humbly & gratefully accepting the job and the slot in
life I assigned you to can you find peace and can you start
walking the way of true accomplishment, fruitfulness &
fulfillment in Me.
Since you sincerely want to make progress and come closer to
Me, I'm showing you your enemy and what hinders you.
Like Dad said, "you are your own worst enemy," & it's time you
face down that "Mr. Smith."
The pride that makes you think you're better than God, the root
of all sin, is what keeps you from truly drawing closer to Me!
203 __________________________________________________
It takes perseverance to change the world, not letting
adversity discourage you & turn you away at the first show of
resistance.
You're burying your talents and opportunities to change the
world under the fears of what people might think about you, fears
of their dislike & rejecting you... You figure, "well, if they don't
want it, I'm not going to give it to them, even if I know they need
it..." That's pride. You're not willing to pay the price of
confrontation for their souls. That's sad. I understand and
sympathize with you, but I'm hoping that you will become more
of a fighter than that, that you will acquire greater faith, love &
humility in order to overcome those fears & that pride.

that I've told you. But if you make the wrong choices, I can take
your blessings away from you again just as quickly as you
decide to listen to and yield to the voices of the Enemy!
There comes a point when consequences can no longer be put
off.
Sometimes you only appreciate what you've had after you lose it.
If someone doesn't appreciate their job and starts murmuring
about it, I might as well give it to somebody else.
You might not see or understand why a certain thing was allowed
to happen at a certain time, but that's where you'll just have to
trust Me and your helpers.
These are desperate times, and I cannot wait until I find perfect
vessels. I have to use what I've got. But I will do My part to make
sure that My vessels are being purged.
He that would be the greatest among you, let him be the servant
of all. The humblest are the greatest, & the greatest are the most

have to pitch in for them & take over for a while, if they feel over-
burdened, or they say "thus far and no further."
What I want is endless love that will stop at nothing, that would
do anything, go to any length.
You wonder, "Can such love be acquired, even if I don't have it
yet?" How much do you desire it? How badly do you want it?
What price are you willing to pay for it? Is this love worth
everything to you? Everything you've got? Are you willing to go
to the ultimate extreme for it?
True, endless love will never stop hoping and believing that it is
worth it, and this has been the power and force that has been
motivating every one of My children to either serve Me or others
unconditionally until the end.
True devotion and loyalty. No ifs, buts or conditions attached.
Will you have that kind of love for Me? Trust Me. You can pour
everything you've got into Me, and it will never be in vain or
return unto you void, it will always be more than worth it and
return to you an hundred-fold.
212 __________________________________________________
Everybody makes mistakes. The question is, how much do
you learn from them? You should view them as opportunities to
learn from. Some of the most precious lessons you learn are
those which you learn from your own mistakes.
Of course, that takes humility. It's tough on one's pride to take
the blame & face the consequences of their own actions, and to
deal with what it is you have done wrong in order to bring certain
conditions about. It's always easier to blame the other party for
it. But that's not the way you learn. "Taking the Blame" is a good
motto.
In order to truly understand some things, one has to be willing
and able to see them from an objective angle, not only from one's
own subjective point of view. No matter how convinced anybody
may be of that they're right and that they're the ones being
wronged, there's always another point of view, another aspect &
angle to look at it.
The art is to be humble enough to be willing to see it. It's also in
having the necessary love to put yourself in the other's shoes, as
St.Francis prayed, to seek to understand, more than to be
understood. And there is still My point of view, which might
happen to differ from your own (Is.55:8,9).
When it comes down to it, the main gist of the problem with
humanity - or the problems humans have amongst each other -
lies with the fact that everybody is much too interested in their
own opinion and point of view than to attentively listen to that of
another. They're not really open enough to see the other side...
For most people it simply takes an effort too great than they're
willing to make, to really listen to and absorb the other, different
perspective than their own, & that's quite sad.
It's impossible to really get the point & learn the lesson if you
can't see Me in it. Instead of blaming the other party, seek Me &
find out why I'm allowing this to happen. There might be more to
it than you've been willing or able to see thus far...an angle you
might not have been aware of.
I haven't made any of you perfect, and part of life is simply
ironing out the imperfections I purposely created you with - with
My help. You don't have to be devastated by your failures! It's
okay to look at them & to deal with them, to accept they're there.
It takes humility to just accept yourself the way you are, along
with all your flaws & faults, even the ones you haven't been
aware of so far, and humility is one of the big goals to strive for,
since it's synonymous with love, and the ability to truly love. So,
are you humble enough to face your own faults in order to truly
love without limits?
Only if you're humble enough to face your flaws and accept
them, and then work on them with My help the best you can, only
then can you lick your pride to the extent where people will be
able to tell that they're truly being loved by you. There's, lots
more to learn about love!
213 _________________________________________________
I'm expanding your horizons, stretching the muscles of your
former capacities. Becoming more open for My new, unknown
elements, the factor that is so strange to your egos & habits is
what it truly means to be revolutionary!
To be truly revolutionary is to whole-heartedly jump into a new
thing, a direction I'm leading you, even if it doesn't make any
sense to you or is contrary to everything you have believed or
known thus far!
I love it when you trust Me for things you don't understand!
That's what I call faith! When you just follow Me along blindly, not
seeing or knowing where I lead you, but you just trust Me, that I'll
lead you aright!
This is necessary training for the future, for in the confusion to
come, not everything will make sense, nor will you always be
able to see anything ahead, or what may lie at the end of the path
or direction I will be leading you. But you must learn to trust that
whatever I bring across your path is of My hand, you must see
My hand in it - and that it's for a good reason!
Don't seek to understand! Seek to trust Me! And if you do, prove
it, by praising Me in spite of the fact that you don't understand!
Wanting to understand, wanting to see, wanting to know
everything beforehand is a sign of wanting the control over your
life yourself. But I want you to yield & give up the controls over
your life fully into My hand. Only when you can truly do that are
you able to fully trust Me for everything, that everything that
comes your way, no matter how bizarre, weird or irrational it may
seem, is only the very best possible choice of Mine for you & will
bring nothing but the best possible results for you.
Do you trust Me, that I love you like that? That I love you so much
that everything that happens to you is the best possible option?
If you've been praying and committing your day into My hands,
how am I going to disappoint you by doing anything less than the
best? I will even allow the Enemy to only attack & test you in
those ways that I know will bring forth the best possible results,
& even the mistakes you will make will be those that will teach
you the most effective and important lessons, so that truly ALL
things will work out for not only good, but for the best for you!
214 __________________________________________________
I'm trying to teach you greater understanding for others &
their weaknesses, through the knowledge that nobody's perfect
& everybody's vulnerable, & under the given circumstances it
could have even happened to you. I'm hoping to enhance your
compassion for others, your love and understanding.
If you learn to see things My way, you'll learn to view the hardest
parts in life not as the worst, but as the best. You used to see My
crucifixion as something dreadful, something that people wonder
why it had to happen, until you realized that this was actually the
main purpose for which I came, My greatest task & most
important "job," My destiny.
Even so it is with your crosses. You may dread them & you may
rather have those cups pass from you, like I wished, but
afterwards you'll see that they were actually the most valuable &
most important parts of life, without which things would never
have been the same... no victories won over the Enemy, no
precious lessons learnt... No victory without a battle, no crown
without a cross, no rose without a thorn... no beauty for ashes...
215 __________________________________________________
It's not time for any more words, it's time for action. Get your
mind set on the task at hand. The task is winning and warning
the world, spreading My message, My Gospel. It is not trying to
primarily secure your survival. That's the way the gentiles live &
what the heathen seek. That's not "losing your life" in order that
you may find it. That's trying to save it yourself, the way
everybody else does, and the result is that you lose it, like
everybody else does who tries to save themselves...the flesh
way, the System way, the accepted way, instead of wholly
trusting in Me!
If you're going to represent Me, you're going to have to be
prepared to do the unconventional thing, & for being unpopular!
Even if you were perfect, as I was, yet they would find fault in you
enough to kill you (Jn.3:19)!
216 __________________________________________________
"An idle mind is the devil's workshop," so don't keep your
mind in "idle," but put in My gear, fill yourself with My program,
which is the best guard against the viruses of the Enemy.
You're on show & on trial for Us to see what you do with the
smallest possible unit, how faithful you're going to be in "that
which is least."
Don't just idly seek to enjoy the situation as much as possible,
trying to squeeze the most fun or ease out of it, but work at it!
Put something into it!
You determine what kind of a revolutionary & obedient disciple
you're going to be, & there's nothing & nobody you can blame
that's supposedly stopping or hindering you! It just takes work,
that's all. This is the era of obedience & it's time to get into some
action! Let's see some action!
Once you realize that you're actually working for the King of the
universe, the highest-ranking Employer you could possibly ever
have, then you'll actually see it can be quite adventurous &
exciting.
Take the responsibility that everything - what you're going to
become in the future, your destiny and all that goes with it -
depends on you, your choices & actions right now, today, and the
amount of elbow grease & initiative that you're willing to invest in
it!
To become a real revolutionary, start right now, today, by
forsaking all, laying down your life, denying yourself & taking up
your cross in every little situation & at every opportunity that you
come across!
217 __________________________________________________
(S.H.:) It's time to get serious about your work for the Lord.
Determine what your goals are, focus on them & pursue them &
work at them until you will have achieved them!
It's no longer time to haphazardly do whatever you feel like
doing, but focus & concentrate on the Lord's work, His sheep,
and the best possible way in which you can do your part to reach
them!
When you've accomplished something, don't rest on your laurels
& feel self-satisfied, but realize that whatever you happened to
accomplish is only a small beginning & a tiny step towards a
larger goal, & you shouldn't stop then, but use the momentum to
look around what you could do next.
There's no more time for coasting along in "idle." In order to
fulfill your destiny, you're going to have to apply some elbow
grease!
218 __________________________________________________
If you make efforts to put My counsel into practice & fight the
devil harder & work harder for Me than before, then of course,
the Enemy isn't just going to take it lying down. You have to be
prepared that he's going to shoot back! If you declare war on
him, he's gonna fight you. 223 __________________________________________________
Your Home is a constant potential danger zone, in which it
behooves you to walk & converse wisely, cautiously & to hold a certain blessing. And if they're not, if they're allowing
circumspectly, to watch your tongue & simply to be more
prayerful in your speech.
Be sober, be vigilant. Be careful, watchful, prayerful, attentive.
Don't give the Enemy a chance to enter in through foolishness &
carelessly uttered words.
219 __________________________________________________
If you have the right attitude & the right amount of love for
people, the right incentive, then nothing is impossible. But don't
worry if it doesn't look as if you're going to attain to all of these
things in this life. Take it one step at a time, but don't get
frustrated if you don't get to the goal in one day. Be patient, not
only with others, but also with yourself. Don't require more of
yourself than I do.
I know you want to make progress & please Me, but you have to
learn that those changes have to come from within, through
loving fellowship & interaction with Me, through spending time
with Me & loving Me, you can't force these things in the flesh!
Changes of the heart are miracles that only I can bring about, you
can't do it yourself, so quit trying & let Me do it! Just hold still &
be My vessel & trust in Me to do what you can't.
Open up your life & heart to Me & let Me do it & work in you what
you can't bring about yourself. It's so easy, if you just let go. You
don't have to do it yourself! Just let Me do it. It's going to be
alright, if you just let Me do it.
220 __________________________________________________
I love you very much, in spite of all your failures & short-
comings! It's alright, the way you are! Don't worry about it! Leave
the ironing out of the flaws & imperfections up to Me. Maybe
what you consider imperfect is just what I like about you; that
weakness that keeps you extra humble or dependent on Me. If
you were Mr. Success, you might possibly feel better about
yourself, but I'm not so sure whether that would be conducive to
your being as dependent on Me & as desperate to seek & find Me
everyday.
You're not strong enough to make it without Me, and I'm very
happy about that! Your weakness is the very thing that keeps you
close to Me! So, why not adopt My point of view & join Me in
rejoicing over your weaknesses? Like Paul: "Therefore will I
rather rejoice in my infirmities, etc., for when I'm weak, then I am
strong. (2.Cor.12:10)
It's not the natural thing to rejoice in your weaknesses, to praise
Me for them. It's rather a supernatural thing to do. But it's one of
the secrets of rising above! You rejoice in your weakness and let
Me be your strength! If you could rely on your own strength, you
would try to run the race in your own energy. But since your own
energy is practically non-existent, you're having to rely on My
hand to swoop you up and lift you above the obstacles... You let
My power work for you, which is much more effective than any
natural power you could come up with of your own.
221 __________________________________________________
Sometimes I test you to see how much you're really willing to
give, how easily you let circumstances sway you to compromise
& take the easier way out.
But even if it will make things more difficult, I will bless everyone
who will make a sacrifice toward My cause. I will bless the
disposition to sacrifice for Me, My cause & My Family! I love a
cheerful giver!
222 __________________________________________________
What is the most effective thing a "nobody" can do? Pray and
witness. Witnessing puts you on the "nobody" level on the
scales of people in the world, but on the top of My level, so, if
you're faithful to do those things which would qualify you as a
nobody in this world, be assured that you'll be a star in Mine!
There are a lot of "nobodies" Here who by far outshine the
greatest "stars" on earth. (1.Cor.1:28)
Sometimes people have to prove that they're mature enough
their feelings to go haywire with them instead of keeping the
priorities straight in their hearts & focusing primarily on what's
truly relevant, namely the advance of My cause and Kingdom,
then they will simply have to forego that blessing.
I won't hesitate to take it away, if it becomes a god before Me to
you. If it consumes more time and becomes more of a hindrance
than a help, more of a burden than a blessing.
One simply needs to make the choice whether what they want is
really the truth or merely their own mental concept of Me, the way
they'd like to see Me.
As soon as you put your relationship on that "untouchable"
pedestal, I will have to knock it down from there, & you're just
going to have to go without it until you either see the light, or
decide to go the rest of the way with your private little concept of
the meaning of life, yet another victim to the Devil's deceptions.
Many people are so sure of their own perception & concept of
truth or their concept of Me, they're willing to kill for it. That's
why you have the standard of My Word.
224 __________________________________________________
Even praying is something you have to learn to do by My
Spirit; in other words, to let go & let My Spirit do it through you.
It's another one of those things you just can't do in the flesh. It's
a lot like prophecy.
You have to listen to My Spirit & wait for whatever She's going to
lay on your heart, similar to when I speak to you.
Unless you're in My Spirit, you can't really pray.
It's part of the great lesson in life to seek Me. Sometimes you
grope around blindly through the darkness of your life in
frustration, but you must remember that that's when you need to
seek Me, your Light! I use this to lead you on to new places, new
challenges, new angles & perspectives where you haven't been
before, & sometimes you have to really "look" around & search
for My light & see where I'm leading you this time, and you have
to be willing to move away from all that's familiar to you. But
that's the only way you'll ever make progress, grow, & pioneer &
conquer new territory. You can't do that by always sticking to
what's comfy-cozy & the things you're so familiar with in life.
I also use this when you get stuck on a certain thing or view too
much, or you're too occupied with something I want you to get
away from, maybe in order for you to come back to it at some
later point, when you'll be able to see it from a different angle...
You have to keep forsaking things in your life, in your mind, your
attitudes.
Learning to fight in My army isn't always a pleasant, easy or
comfortable thing. It includes hurt, sacrifice & strain, but that's
what makes the difference between kindergarten & school, a
battlefield and a playground.
But even after the darkest & longest stretch of agony, there's
light again, at the other side of the tunnel. As long as you choose
to go through the right tunnels, you'll always find Me and My
light there on the other side.
Just because somebody doesn't constantly look "inspired"
doesn't mean they're not walking in My Spirit, or they're not living
in Me.
It's not always fun or "inspiring" to be fighting a war. There's a lot
of serious, unpleasant stuff involved, and to become more
familiar with these things and that part of life, is simply part of
the process of growing up & maturing.
As you grow, you notice a lot of not-so-glorious things that you
didn't expect before... Gory details you didn't have a clue existed
when you were young and idealistic and blue-eyed... Or even
simply boring chores and a strenuous schedule. It's "welcome to
the real battle of life!"
There comes a time when you can't avoid the battles and
confrontations anymore, and it's simply come to that: time to
grow up!
So, no matter how dark & gloomy the battle, there has no
temptation taken you but such as is common to man, and it's all
simply a matter & part of growing up, maturing & becoming a real
man and fighter for Me.
Usually it's whatever you're not so comfy with, that I'm trying to
stress & emphasize on in your life, always the "totally other,"
your NWOs, your challenge points...
You're My brides, but also My warriors, warrior brides, like the
legendary amazons.

Similarly to how the Holy Spirit possessed Mary in order to help
her be receptive to the Lord Almighty's seeds, so I can at times
possess you in order to help you be more receptive to the Lord's
seeds as your Lover and Husband. Even loving is a thing of the
spirit, you know?
Loving Jesus is a weapon. How different the spiritual way of
fighting is from carnal ideas! Some of the most radical and
powerful weapons we have are manifested in something that
symbolizes the exact opposite of all that people would associate
with warfare in the carnal.
But love is still the most powerful weapon in the universe, and
the one that we're all here to learn to use and wield and apply in
our holy war against evil.
And what greater way to apply this greatest of all weapon than
the fulfillment and obedience of the greatest commandment of
all, to love the Lord? Loving Jesus is truly one of the most
powerful weapons you've got.
You can call upon my name when you need to love Jesus more.
When you feel like you can't really let go of the flesh and your
mind is in the way, I'll help you to yield to Him better.

When you're battling & struggling, in many ways you're even
more beautiful to Me. I feel for you, I feel with you, and you're
never alone in whatever you go through in life, I share it all, and I
always carry you with Me, as you carry Me with you. I'm in you,
as you're in Me, we're one, even as the Father and I are one.

When you really get inspired about something, it's a sure
indicator that that's a direction I'm leading you! When you get
excited about something & get the vision for it, you definitely
have My green light.
I lead you step by step. I delight in the projects of My brides &
children, just like you enjoy it when your kids get along & play
together nicely. And I even participate.
I'm always watching, ready to give you tips, counsel, advice, new
ideas, etc.
228 __________________________________________________
While My Words can give you the faith and some incentive to
take the initiative and the vision, when it comes down to it, the
decision and final choice to actually do something about it is all
up to you and needs to come from you. No amount of words in
the world is ever going to change anything about that. The final
step is yours to take. I provide all the necessary equipment and
machinery, the connections, the energy, the tools, whatever you
need, but you're going to have to flip that switch that makes it
rumble!
I've poured out & supplied you with the counsel you needed, the
necessary assurance of all you need to know to get going. Now
you just need to put it into action and actually do it. The doin' it is
your part!
I'm sayin' it, you're doin' it. That's the way it usually works when
you're working for or serving somebody. So, I've done My part,
now it's time to let Me see you do your part. It's time to get
working. Now comes the obeying part. The being-doers-of-the-
Word-part, not hearers only.
It's the difference between just thinking that something is merely
a good idea or something nice to do eventually, and actually
doing it.
A lot of times I'm actually having to repeat Myself, and that is a
sign that it's time for you to do something about what I've already

 Always look at how much more you could be accomplishing
for Me, not how much less.
If you compare yourself to those who have made even graver

236 __________________________________________________
So many mistakes are made because people don't remember.
Why do people not remember? Because they don't really make
an effort, they don't really care. They're too busy occupying their
minds with the next pleasure, the next entertainment, the next
amusement, the next "escape route" that leads them "away from
thinking." Or they simply don't care enough to write it down, or, if
they've written it down, to read it again!
So the root of the problem is really indifference and falling for the
distractions the Enemy plants along your way in order to prevent
you & keep you from remembering, especially remembering Me
and what I've told you.
The Devil is very much like the evil fox in "Pinocchio" who
diverts Pinocchio from his duties & tries to attract him to "the
easier" way to make money, instead of going the hard way of
attending school (--the school of life!--), which is what his father
Gepetto told him to do, and lures him with the pleasures on
"pleasure island." But Pinocchio only winds up making a jack-
ass out of himself, along with all the others, by failing to
remember to stay on the straight & narrow, until he finally
repents, wants to go home to the father and in not finding him at
home, becomes obsessed with the search for the father... what
an allegory of life!
Sometimes you may not find the Father where you had originally
been familiar with Him, once you've neglected to remember Him
and to honor Him and to listen to Him, and once you've been
down the road of sin. Your search for Him may lead you into the
belly of the whale, which are the deep, dark & trying experiences
I often use to make a real man out of you, to show whether
you've really got a heart after all.
Often people are distracted & diverted by the Enemy, purposely
lured away from Me & My admonitions & tempted to forget &
disobey what I told them or what they simply know to be the
good way. After all, everybody else is rushing off to "Pleasure
Island," and who wants to be left out & miss out on the fun,
right?
But if you're going to be a smart little boy, you're going to
remember what Father said. You're going to pay attention to Him
and send the evil tempters back to hell where they came from.
You're not going to listen to them but you'll tell them to get lost,
that you won't listen to them, you've got to obey the Father, and
there's nothing they can ever do or say that will divert you from
that path of obedience!
The answers to most of your problems lie in the things I've
already told you. You've simply got to remember them!
What I've told Joshua about the Words I gave to Moses and him
applies to you: write them on the tablets of your heart! Meditate
on them when you get up and when you lie down. But for
heaven's sake, don't forget them!
There's a great mystery in remembering. Imagine you could
remember everything I ever told you, everything I ever revealed
to you and showed you, every enlightenment that ever came to
you! Can you imagine the power, the glow, the divine inspiration
you'd give off & radiate? But instead, all those things fade away
from your mind, like leaves in the autumn wind for mundane
things.
There is power in remembering. Claim the key of remembrance.
Hold on to it with all your might, for great power, great wisdom
lies in the power to remember the things I've told you and
revealed to you.
It gives Me great satisfaction when you remember and obey the
things I've told you. Doesn't it frustrate you when your child just
forgets or ignores your words? Well, it does the same to Me
when you do.
237 __________________________________________________
I'm guiding you step by step. My modus operandi for My army
is not one where every step or every path ahead is clearly laid
out in advance, it's one of trusting and following Me blindly,
according to last minute instructions and doors, which I open
and close just before it is time to move, without leaving your
carnal minds much room to figure it all out by yourselves!
I want you to learn a few lessons along the line of appreciating
My blessings, My supply, of being faithful stewards over the little
I have given you, before I supply more, of being content with
such things that ye have, lessons of moderation, not taking
things for granted, gratefulness, and of giving Me the glory for it
all.
The less attached you are to the System, the easier it will be to
get out of it, the easier it will be for Me to completely set you free
from it, to set you apart from it. If you're not much different from
everybody else, then what's the use? What good is the salt if it
loses its flavor?
238 __________________________________________________
If your child is giving you trials because of stubbornness,
disobedience or laziness, you should ask yourself whether
there's a chance that I might want to work on those same areas
in your life. If they are causing you trials because you feel
rejected or unwanted by them, you must ask yourself why.
Often, children have a completely wrong concept of their father,
quite similar to people's false perception of Me, their heavenly
Father. Ask Me to show you what you can do in such a situation
to rectify and perhaps correct their view of things a bit. But the
first step is to get them to communicate.
Ask Me what you can do, how to approach them in order to get
them to confide to you what's on their hearts about you, why
they seem to dislike you.
If they give you trials because they prefer to spend their time with
their friends to the extent that they hardly come to see you
anymore at all, welcome to the way that I feel in relation to many
of My children!
Often it's because someone else fed them negative information
about you, similar to the way the Devil tells lies about Me. Other
times it plain & simple selfishness, & they just know that having
to face you would only convict them & make them feel bad about
themselves.
There is more truth to the verse that I created you in My own
image than meets the eye. In a way, you're all little carbon copies
of Me, just like children often are the "spitting image" of one of
their parents...
Sometimes your children feel resentful toward you because they
think you neglect them & don't care about them, similar to the
way many people think that I couldn't care less about them or I
wouldn't bother with someone as "unimportant," which is really
only one of the standard lies the Devil spreads about Me.
Others think downright badly of you, maybe not constantly, but
at times, which is similar to those times when you're "at war"
with Me for allowing all those "atrocities" to happen to you, when
really, more often than not, it's your own attitude & distance from
Me that can be responsible for such times of testing.
Ultimately, fathers are ideal scapegoats. You can blame a lot of
things on them that are going wrong, because they didn't do this
or that for you, etc., or they broke this or that promise. That's
why one of the best & most effective educational milestones in
life is having kids on your own, because it will ultimately show
you that you're not the perfect mom or dad either, and for once
you're able to put yourself in your parents' or even My shoes!
When you come to face it, that's one of the main reasons why
kids can often give you trials: it makes you deal with your own
weaknesses, failures, wrong attitudes, selfishnesses &
everything that's ugly about yourself that you hadn't even
realized until then. Most of all, having children reveals what a
failure you are yourself, that you're not any better than your own
parents at all, when you thought you were light-years ahead of
them. And that process also moves Me a bit closer to you,
because all of a sudden you can begin to see why I'm doing
things the way I am, or why I allow this or that to happen...
Things start making sense all of a sudden.

 I'm teaching you many things through the various
circumstances of your life, and like any teacher, I am pleased
when My students show interest & take note of the lessons,
instead of just letting them pass them by.
I'm teaching you about the futility of so-called "security" in the
world by people having lost everything over a few days of
excessive rain in Austria, no insurance ever meeting a fraction of
their need caused by the calamity.
I'm teaching you about the worldly crooks who try to make
money of others' need for love & companionship & exploit their
loneliness & longing for love by the incident with that online flirt
service.
I'm teaching you that all things are possible to Me, contrary to
the thinking of man, by the way I had your wisdom tooth come
out properly, in spite of the lack of space and the pressure and
pain it caused you.
I'm teaching you many things about your fellow men through
situations arising with folks you come across, teaching you to
discern their personality types, not to put them in boxes, but to
show you the variety & wonders of human nature, just as other
people would study the variety of species in nature...
I'm teaching you to be a parent with conviction, not to take the
(apparently) easier way to let your kids get away with things you
cannot approve of, of letting them have their will against your
better knowledge...
I'm teaching you to trust in Me for your providence, not in your
own arm of the flesh, by putting you in a situation where you run
risk of losing more by obtaining more.
I'm also teaching you that there is no general blue-print of do's
and don'ts, but that everybody has to find out what is good for
their own, particular situation, contrary to the urge to give in to
peer pressure, & do like the others do, just because they do it.
Sometimes I also teach you that something you've been looking
for feverishly has already been in your possession, but you just
didn't see it yet. You were more obsessed with the search than
interested enough in the object itself to even recognize it among
those things you had already acquired. Take heed lest you
search in vain, and search just for searching's sake & fail to
recognize among the things you have already found what you are
searching for.
In many aspects you are acting like one who is still seeking,
instead of one who has already found... Stop to cherish that
which you have already found! Let it sink in, let it become part of
your being, and properly absorb it, so that you can share it with
others, too, and let them benefit from your findings, instead of
making your whole life one never-ending search for more!
I don't mind you being curious and hungry for more, as long as
you don't waste the food I've already given you, as long as you
share it with those who are needy, those who don't have any true
spiritual food at all!
245 __________________________________________________
My treasure chests are always filled to overflowing with
goods for you. But if you're too distracted by something else
you're more interested in, then no matter how much there is I
could give you, you can't receive it, because your focus is
somewhere else, your desire is somewhere else.
You can't make hearing from Me an empty ceremony or ritual
without putting your heart in it. Either your spirit is hungry for My
nourishment or it isn't. And when you’re more interested in
something else, then I'd rather you come back to Me when you
truly hunger for Me.
I only have something to say when you're truly willing to listen.
People are always more willing to listen to Me when skies are
bleak & gray and trouble is in the air. When this world looks less
than perfect, when it seems that there's something missing,
when there are problems that need a solution, or simply a
situation that could use some improvement, you can turn to Me,
the Source of all improvement, all that is better, the Answer-Man
& Solution-Giver to every problem, the perfect enhancement to
every not-so-perfect situation!
People don't necessarily have to be totally broken before they
will accept Me. Sometimes all that it takes is that they realize that
this world isn't as perfect as they would like it to be, and, well, if
they want the Perfect, send'em to Me! I'll give'em perfect! I'll
show them what perfect really is, the way things were really
meant to be, if man hadn't chosen to veer off the perfect path of
obedience & harmony with Me!
But every man, woman & child can return to that perfect path &
find the perfection they inwardly seek, in Me. I'll complete what
started as a crooked line & will make a perfect circle out of it.
Just because things look far from perfect doesn't mean they'll
always stay that way. Just tell'em, "Well, the picture is not yet
finished." And tell'em to either wait & see, or to come to Me for a
glimpse through My eyes, & I'll give them the vision of what it's
going to become & what it's going to look like when it's done!
There ARE absolutes! I know, because I'm One of them. In fact,
the epitome of all of them. And the tale that there aren't any
absolutes is just one of those poisonous lies of the Devil. Just
because he put his own curse-resulting filter of "less-than-
perfect" over My creation, in order to hide the perfect from man's
view, doesn't mean there is no perfect!
Since man didn't want to whole-heartedly embrace the perfect,
but rather chose the option of doing their own thing & be their
own "perfect enough," I allowed life to be imperfect, with Me, and
the perfection of the Spirit World being invisible, in other words,
with man groping around through life blind to all that's perfect.
They're starting to see the mathematical impossibilities of all the
perfection in creation to have occurred by itself. But it still
doesn't cause many of them to stop & pause long enough to find
out what I've got to say. As long as there are other things they're
more interested in. How about you? How interested are you?
It IS hard to believe in that which you don't see! It is even harder
when there are so many other distracting things which you can
see! It IS hard to spark someone's interest in the invisible, no
matter how perfect it may be! I admit that I did not make it easy!
On the other hand, I've made it easy enough for any child to be
able to receive Me.
Listen to the child in you! It says, "Papa's in control!" It doesn't
doubt & criticize Papa the way children do when they get older &
become adolescents. It's that childlike loyalty to "Papa" that
makes children so precious in My sight, & the reason I'm so
close to them.
Of course, the earlier they become disillusioned, the harder they
will often become. But you've got the power in your hand to bring
a little hope back into those disillusioned lives. You can ensure
them that their heavenly Papa's still in control, after all, & that
He's going to iron all things out & set them straight, no matter
how hopelessly dark & entangled & confusing and derailed it all
seems to be right now. Tell'em I specialize in creating order out
of chaos! I love a challenge! And man has presented Me with
quite a challenge right there. But it's not too much or too difficult
for Me; I love it!
Tell them that I see their pain; that I feel with them; I understand
& sympathize! I want to help! And I will help!
I will help those right now who ask Me, and I will eventually help
all those who don't seek My help, too. And it's not any sadistic
experiment, either, or show-off scheme of Mine, to show off how
great & wonderful I am, but truly the perfect plan for everyone's
eternal happiness. You will find out how wonderfully perfect
everything truly is, as hard as it may be to believe this right now.
But all the pain, all the suffering will make sense, you'll see! Just
hold on a little longer! Hold on!
246 __________________________________________________
Friendship, love & investing personal time into your
relationships with people is proving to be more fruitful than
ambition and zeal to accomplish great things for Me. I wasn't as
much of an "accomplisher" type as I was a Friend to people,
hearing them out, visiting them, caring for them, healing them,
helping them. Being a helper is what it's all about.
By showing that you don't consider your time too important to
invest in them, you show that you really love & care about them,
you don't just want to use them.
In what better way can you live & manifest love than by being a
help to them in their time of need?
It should come natural to you! It doesn't always have to be a big
disaster making headlines, that would require your help.
Recognize when there is a needy situation that requires rolling
up your sleeves & pitching in and show the world (or sometimes
just a single lonely person) what it really means to be a Christian!
You can learn much about being a friend to people, and a helper.
How about just concentrating on being a helper & a friend to
people, a kind person? A lot of people are too busy for that. Take
time for the most important things! It's going to come back to
you, you know? More than anything you say or tell people, it's
your actions that will reap the greatest benefits & repercussions
& rewards. What you do speaks so much louder than words. So,
be a doer & find out what you can do to help others! Just look
around! Once you're through helping them, they'll often be much
more willing to listen to what you have to say!
And this is what you can pass on to your children, too: a helpful
attitude. But you've got to live it for them to see, first, before
they're going to buy it! Give them a sample that's going to be
worthwhile imitating and following! That's what counts, more
than any words you can say!
247 __________________________________________________
Welcome to the school of learning to love unconditionally.
You have to learn to keep loving unconditionally, & not make
your love hinge on behavior & good deeds. You must love
regardless of failures, just as I love you regardless of yours. "Tit
for tat" thinking is never any less justifiable than in the case of
parents with their children. Your children are My jobs & tasks I
have given you, primarily to love them, in spite of anything they
might do, even though it may be difficult at times. Never
withdraw your love from them because of anything they might do
or fail to do, or you are going to be the one who's failing Me (and
them).
The same way I forgave you, I also expect you to forgive others,
especially your children!
Let it teach you to appreciate that unconditional love of Mine, to
not take it for granted, to help you see what a precious gift it is,
having to learn to come up with that same kind of forgiveness
yourself for your children, who are failing you.
When your own love fails & comes to an end, call out to Me, and I
will make a way to love where there was no way, I will give you
strength to love when there was no strength left...
If you keep in mind how much & how often you've needed My
forgiveness & My love to be unconditional, this will help you
keep humble at the same time, & help you avoid becoming self-
righteous.
You cannot just give up on them when they're failing you.
They need you to be there for them anyway, to know that you're
not giving up on them, to know that you've got something
stronger, a foundation, a rock to stand on that will cause your
love for them not to fail.
They test you sometimes to see whether your love for them is
really real, or whether you'll give up on them & dump'em in your
mental trash can once they start veering from the path of your
expectations of them.
This is My job, My lesson, My challenge for you.
The harder they are to love, the greater the challenge.
Sometimes your children fail you, because you've failed to love
them first! Your responsibility is to love them. And if the task
seems to become overwhelming, I can always supply you with
more love from My endless reservoirs!
Maybe you didn't invest enough! Maybe you kept investing too
much in yourself, your own career, your ambitions, desires, etc.
And as a result, they don't share your views, your interests, your
love for the things you love, because they were what separated
you from them, what distracted you from your responsibility and
even your capabilities to love them as you should have...
You must bestow special care on those you have the hardest
time connecting with! It's the way I search for My lost sheep, &
they in turn usually turn out to be My most faithful, dedicated &
passionate followers.
Without My wisdom, without that direct link between you & Me,
you weren't able to see this, oblivious to your task & purpose in
life and any clue on how to tackle it. But now you can see! Now
you can hear My voice & receive the wisdom from Me to find out
what you're supposed to do.
It's never too late for love! If you start concentrating & focusing
on this goal the way you should, they will be eternally thankful
for it and for the change they will see in you.
You're not finished yet with your job as a parent. There are things
I'd like you to catch up on.
Blaming others won't free you from your share of the
responsibility, which is to love them, no matter what; to uphold
them in prayer, to not give up on them!
No matter how much you fail or disobey Me, I never give up
having hope for you, I never quit having faith in you, I never stop
loving you, and that's what your attitude toward your children
should also be.
Look up to Me & learn of Me how to love unconditionally & how
to never give up on your children! And you'll soon realize that it
all is connected somehow, & it'll all start making beautiful sense,
& you'll thank Me & love Me even more for having opened up
your eyes to this whole new world of aspects that formerly you
were blind to. Without Me, you can see nothing! I am your light.
248 __________________________________________________
Remember what I put up with from sinners. False
accusations, fingers pointed at you and people hating you &
despising you in a self-righteous frenzy is something you must
be prepared for if you follow My footsteps.
Of course they're under demonic influence when they get like
that & want to crucify you. But that's when you know you've
passed the test & made the grade, when you're able to pray for
them anyway, like I did on the cross: "Father, forgive them, for
they know not what they do."
They thought they were ridding the world of one more criminal or
nuisance, they thought they were in the right. The Devil can truly
make them feel oh so right about accusing you. You must be
willing to bear this if you follow Me and will be My disciple, that
sooner or later they will shout "crucify him," because you're not
one of them.
You will always be one of those outsiders, those strangers &
intruders, like Me, that they will resist, because men love
darkness rather than light. That's the Devil's imitation of the light
of My true judgment: his evil spotlight of false & twisted
accusations, kindling in their hearts a false "righteous anger" &
desire to lynch you, a hatred, which they believe is for just
reasons, just so they have an excuse to do what the Devil really
wants: to get rid of you.
I have warned you before, that children would accuse and betray
their parents.
When they have made their decision against you and they hate,
resist and reject you, then there isn't much more you can do for
them but to commit them into My hand in prayer. They are your
children for a purpose. But it doesn't mean that their ties to you
are stronger or more significant than those with your spiritual
Family, those who receive Me and are truly your brethren and
children and parents, those who do the will of the Father, which
is primarily to believe in Me, and believe in those that He sends
to be His prophets and voices.
Love them even if they oppose you. But once they cross the limit
& make it clear that they've obviously chosen the opposing side
and are against you, when it's clear that they've joined the ranks
of those who would destroy you in self-righteous anger kindled
by Satan, then you've got to leave them in My hands.
Your responsibility to love them isn't something you're supposed
to do without My help. When it becomes humanly impossible to
love someone, let it serve as a reminder that without Me you
cannot do anything anyway.
Loving others unconditionally is an art and a task that only I can
really teach you. Only I can give you the grace to pray for those
who despitefully use you and would persecute you. If you try to
do it in the flesh, you'll collapse under the weight of the burden. I
want to enable you to do the humanly impossible, but you must
remember that it is I Who enable you, that it's nothing you can do
of yourselves.

place. It would have been similar to the picture of could have

disappointment! It's My way of making sure you stay on the right

offering an alternative? Isn't it great to be receiving Words
straight from the Great Alternative to the rut of the Devil, the
grind of the old? You can save them from the grind of the old, the
rotten, decadent Systems of man, which are soon going to go
down into the trash can of history, spiritually, to the bottom of the
ocean, like the Titanic. It may have looked all shiny and new on
the surface in the physical, but it's the spirit that determines
whether you're young or you're old & already rotten & ready to
decay & rust away! See as I see! Open your eyes of the Spirit!
Seek not to please the spiritually dead but seek those who are
alive, though they may seem as good as dead!
Those who are big in this world are paying a price for it! They are
part of the death and the decadence of the System, suffocating,
unable to breathe & to truly live, spiritually. Living the life of a
truly anointed instrument & vessel of the Spirit of God requires
another price to pay: that of remaining largely unrecognized &
unappreciated by the world, persecuted, cast out. Are you willing
to pay that price?

258 __________________________________________________
Moses had to become a nobody for 40 years after having
been quite an important somebody. I'm after the dismantling of
your pride. Your pride resists it, like a tough beast you're trying
to kill but that won't give up so easily.
But only the humble can truly bring refreshment to the thirsty
souls of others. Only the humble gain their trust to really be able
to reach down into their hearts and to lead them to Me, the
Answer to all their pains & heartaches. "God resisteth the proud
but giveth grace to the humble." Only the humble can fully walk
in God's grace, and overflow with it. Humility and grace walk
hand in hand.
Only the humble can take the blows of finding out that the picture
you had in your mind, which you thought & were convinced was
so accurate, isn't necessarily the whole truth, after all; that reality
may turn out to have a few more surprises in store for you; that
you didn't have it all perfectly rigged up & figured out, after all;
that there is more that you don't know. Socrates pretty much hit
the nail on the head when he said "the more I know, the more I
know I don't know." It's a bit like, "the hurrier I go, the behinder I
get." "The more I lose, the more I gain..."
As long as you stay hungry, nothing, naked, humble, open &
desperately reaching out for Me to fill you, as long as you keep a
vacuum for Me, I can fill you. I have always filled the hungry with
goods & sent the rich & full away empty. It's only those who sit
like a queen, rich & increased with goods and have need of
nothing, knowing not that they are wretched, miserable, poor,
blind & naked, who have nothing to expect from Me.
So, what would you rather be? A Somebody who doesn't really
need Me because he's already so satisfied with himself, or a
nobody, who's got nothing but Me, ready to receive everything
from Me?
The Devil nags & teases you: "Now, wouldn't it be nice if you had
some success you could show off with, so that you wouldn't
have to appear like some poor, little nobody?" But I want to make
something better out of you than merely another successful
(person). Something the world needs much more desperately! A
healer of wounds, a comforter of the heartbroken, a winner &
saver of souls.
There are enough proud & haughty people around, and they will
all meet their doom and downfall; why not be an exception,
somebody who's already walking on the humble ground of the
reality that without Me, you are really nothing?
It's the Devil's job to get everyone artificially puffed up & bloated,
blown up, way out of proportion to their real, spiritual size, by
artificially created inflation material, like money, fame, reputation,
"accomplishments," - some of which may be very questionable
in terms of lasting value. All they rely on is their own artificial
facade, & when it collapses, woe is unto them... When their pride
collapses, everything collapses. They always say "faith is a
crutch," but that's a lie! Faith is the only real and true foundation
that's really going to strengthen you from within. But the real
crutch, which only helps to keep the building of a spiritual
person standing up provisionally, without really strengthening
the limbs from within, but only causing them to further
deteriorate, is pride. Pride is the crutch, not faith!
So, do you mind if I kick those crutches away from you? It's
because I would really like you to walk around freely, on your
own 2 feet! Everybody else is walking around with crutches,
some leaning very heavily on them, not able to go anywhere
without them, showing off how expensive they were. Some even
have mega fancy wheelchairs. But without them, they can't get
anywhere, just helpless cripples. And along comes little old you,
running & skipping, without any crutches... And what's best, you
can even encourage others to get rid of their crutches, too, you
can heal those spiritually lame & crippled, who don't even have a
clue that life without their crutches & wheelchairs of pride is
possible.
You see, when I was around, I healed the physically sick, the
lame, the deaf & the blind. But you can heal the spiritually lame,
crippled, deaf, dumb & blind of today. Providing they're willing to
see and admit their own sorry state. The problem is that most of
them probably won't. They're so used to their crutches, they
don't even want to consider a life without. But aren't you glad
you don't need any of that stuff?
Humility will get you so much farther than those old crutches of
pride! So, seek not to feed your pride, to build up your own ego,
your reputation, seek not the success of this world! Forsake
those crutches of pride! Kick your dependence on them! Toss
them away! Burn'em! And see how wonderfully you'll be able to
walk & run without them! (Isa.41:10!) Only humility can ever give
you wings to fly! That old wheelchair, no matter how fancy, or
those crutches of pride, they will only drag you to the ground.
So, why limp around with crutches or roam about in wheelchairs,
when you can walk, run freely, and even fly?
259 __________________________________________________
(Windsor Elerian:) The Lord is trying to get you to the point
where you'll be totally free from the grip of worldliness, free from
clichés, free from their ideas of coolness, etc., free from the
boundaries & ties of the flesh. He wants to make a genuine,
spiritual person out of you. A spiritual person doesn't look at the
outward appearance, but at the heart. Neither do they put any
undue emphasis on their own appearance. It's like that verse, "If
any be a hearer of the Word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man
beholding his natural face in a glass; For he beholdeth himself,
and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of
man he was" (James 1:23, 24)
People get out of touch with their real, inner, spiritual selves, by
putting way too much emphasis and importance on their physical
appearance, their flesh. They think their appearance is them,
when it's only a tiny fraction of their whole being. Sure, it's tough
to not go overboard on looks when everybody else is doing it,
but you've just got to realize that the emphasis on the spiritual is
an art, a whole way of life that is so much more important, so
much deeper and more beautiful, simply greater than all this cult
of the flesh & looks, and all that goes with it, be it clothes-
consciousness, make-up, hair-dos, piercings, tattoos or suntans.
If people rely on these things & let them boost their self-
confidence, instead of walking in the strength of the Lord, then
they forget who they really are. If they have to spend half an hour
in front of a mirror before they have the guts to go out & show
themselves to the others, then that's not really them going out
there, but just the made-up shell & packaging of the real you,
which you're hiding beneath the wrapping.
That's the superficial way! You're only letting folks see your
surface, & not what lies beneath. And because you put so much
emphasis on it, and you practically put your faith in the flesh,
according to your faith be it unto you, and you actually become
that hollow shell of a vain & empty person, when you could be a
spiritual, genuine person, overflowing with true riches to give to
all those you come across, simply by being real & genuine!
It's one of the curses that the Hollywood industry, along with the
fashion industry & all the magazines & TV shows that are
pushing this kind of stuff on people, have wrought over the last
century. It's become a rare art, just being yourself. But as Dad
said in "Revolutionary Women," one way of really being
revolutionary is just being you! And that was the beauty of the
original revolutionary women of the early days of the Family.
Their beauty wasn't in their make-up, their hair-dos, their clothes,
or even their shapes, it was in their eyes, their smiles, the
genuine connection of their spirits with those they came in touch
with. It was magical beauty! And the same applies to the men,
also.
It's a matter of forgetting all you know for some, just getting rid
of the way you've done things all your life, because that's just the
way today's mirror & camera & looks oriented world has brought
you all up to be. But if you call on the keys of freedom, we, your
Eleria, can help you overcome those chained eagle ruts. Even at
events where everybody will naturally try to look their best,
hippest & coolest, you must remember that the best, hippest &
coolest is just the real you, the you that's beneath the
"packaging" or the wrapping, so the less emphasis & time you
invest in that, your surface & appearance, the more you'll be able
to just let your real you shine through.
It's because your real you, your spirit, belongs to the Lord, & the
less emphasis you put on your fleshly appearance, the more He'll
be able to shine through. So, let Jesus shine through you, &
that'll be the best impression you can make on anyone. That's
what it's all about. Forget about the flesh & get into the Spirit!
260 __________________________________________________
Your focus was so fixed on your accomplishment, "What am I
supposed to achieve? Which great works do You want me to
perform?" that you didn't even see the main point I was trying to
teach you, that, in fact, I didn't want you to accomplish anything
for the time being, but to just let go & let Me... I need you to learn
to let Me do it through you!
Sometimes, in your blind ambition to just get something
accomplished for accomplishments' sake, you failed to get the
point that it's all a gift in the first place: Life is a gift, and I want
you to enjoy it. More than being a test, it's a gift for you to enjoy.
Your idea & mental projection of this school of life was too much
resembling the picture of a System school. But My school is
really a lot more fun, a lot more loving, a lot more personal.
Hanging out with Me, Your Teacher, is really something that's
going to help your life to become easier & more beautiful. My
school isn't supposed to make you worry or fret, "Oh my God;
what if I'm going to fail this test... what if I'm going to fail the
teacher? That's not Me, that's not how My school works. It's more
like, "Hey, let Me show you something; let Me help you! I can
show you a whole lot of things that can make this whole thing
called life a lot easier for you!"
A lot of times, people's idea of Me is only an extension of
themselves, their own way of seeing & judging things. If you are
harsh with yourself and others, then you'll picture Me as harsh,
too, but that's not Me! I'm not harsh, but extremely merciful &
patient! Yes, there are judgments coming, but not before I will
have shown My mercy and longsuffering and patience to the
extreme!
The only way you're going to win people to Me is by showing
them My love & mercy, not by ideas of a harsh God.
I am Love, I love you, and I don't want you to go out there for any
other reason but to convey that love! If it's not love that spurs
you on, motivates you & constrains you, as the Bible says, then
wait & ask Me for it!
It's not religious zeal that I want to be your driving force, but
simply love for Me and them. And if you can't even love Me
properly because you're scared of what I might do to you in case
you fail Me, if you haven't gotten the point yet that I only want
you to love Me because you have experienced My love for you
first, then you're certainly not going to be able to convey that
love to others.
Also, I want you to stretch your faith for others & see that if I've
been so patient and longsuffering with you, then there's no
miracle I wouldn't be able to do for others as well. In other words,
there's hope for anyone, and I can change any life. Just give Me a
chance & I'll prove it!
So, forget about that whole accomplishment trip & just do
whatever little bit you can each day and for My sake, enjoy life!
It's the only way you'll ever convince anybody that you've got
something better than they, that they'll want to have as well.
261 __________________________________________________
Of course it's in My own interest that My children accomplish
the most they can for Me and My Kingdom. But sometimes it
takes My unorthodox ways to get there. And if I'm trying to teach
you to get things done through Me and My power, then you just
can't seek to do it in the flesh. I'm purposely weakening your arm
of the flesh for that very reason, so, don't seek to strengthen it,
don't let your carnal mind drive you in the opposite direction of
where I want you to be.
The most important lesson I want you to learn is that you've got
to have the right Source of strength empowering you, the right
motivations behind you, and the right groove.
There's nothing wrong with you wanting to do more for Me, but I
want to teach you how to do it properly. And the primary
requisites for that are that you know Me, know Who you're
working for, so that you don't "sell" people your own idea of Me,
but the Real Thing, and that you do it in My strength, not your
own, because this job is too big, too monumental for anyone to
try to do in their own strength. Without Me ye can do nothing.
This one verse is the gist, the crux & the point of it all, the one
thing I want you to learn. So, if that's what I want you to learn it
means, quit doing things without Me! Quit doing them in your
own strength & any other way but through Me and My power! If
you want to build lasting works, you're going to have to use My
power to do it, not your own.
I want to kindle a fire of love in your heart. It's got to be love, not
fear of failure. I want them to see love in your eyes! If it's not
love, it's no use.

270 __________________________________________________
You were destined to be My bride and lover, and nothing else
matters!
Nothing is more important than our love! And if you fully realize
that, then nothing else can faze you or affect you, you're
completely sheltered from what's happening out there, safely in
My bubble of protection, safely in My arms!
"Every little thing's gonna be alright." Everything is going to be
alright in the end! Even if you have to go through hell on earth,
it's inevitable that everything’s going to turn out good, because I
have promised it and because you love Me! And the more you
love Me, the better things are going to be! That's why loving Me
is very much an effective weapon you will want to use, because it
enhances and increases My blessing on your life, My protection,
the manifestation of My power and the fulfillment of My promise!
The more time you spend and invest loving Me, the better off
you're going to be! It's the wisest investment you could possibly
make!
I want you to see it as the most important, most relevant and
most practical thing you can do! Just as prayer isn't just the
least, but the most you can do, so it is with loving Me! It is the
most important activity of your lives, which will empower you to
do all the other things you need to do with much greater ease
and effectiveness! So, take time to love Me, My love; you won't
regret it!
271 _________________________________________________
You're leaving Me personally out of the picture when you deal
with others without ever mentioning Me. It's as if My wife is
talking to somebody without ever introducing her Husband.
I want to be a part of your life. I want you to include Me.
I, your Husband, am always with you, and don't want you to
ignore or neglect Me, whoever it is you're dealing with or talking
to. I want to shine through you. I want to be right there, if not on
your lips, then at least on your mind and in your heart. If you
think about Me and are conscious & mindful of My Presence with
you, then sooner or later something about Me is bound to cross
your lips, and in the meantime they'll see Me in your eyes.
You tend to go overboard to show them that you can act & talk
like them & be just like one of them. But what's so special about
that? Especially when what they need & what they're looking for
is something different? Somebody who's not stuck in the same
old pit, viewing things from the frog's perspective, down there,
stuck in the hole, but somebody who's got Me along, your
mighty, all-powerful Helper, Who's got the answer & solution to
all their problems.
I want you to come across as someone who's got Me with you,
and unless they indicate definite rejection, I want you to make My
answers available for them!
Ask Me to show you how you can talk to that person without
coming across like a religious nut, but still including Me.
One way you can always include Me is by speaking in love,
because I am Love. Love is not being superficial, not just
sounding the same as everybody else.
"Becoming one" is all about coming down to people's level to a
certain extent & degree in order to bring them My message
presented in a way that's acceptable to them. It wasn't meant to
be coming down to their level and that's all. It was meant to have
a purpose. You become one with them in order to give to them
My message, to give them Me, wrapped up in a packaging they
can relate to, but not to forget about Me altogether & just hand
them the empty packaging of your superficial outer shell without
Me in it!
Take Me with you! Let your light so shine before men! Let Me
shine before them! Show them Me! It's your one chance you
might get to ever touch their lives for Me!
When you deal with people, let Me shine through, and give Me a
chance to let that conversation with you make a difference in
their lives! Use love. Use My lingo instead of theirs!
Get a hold of Me before everything you do! Get onto My
wavelength, My plain, get into My groove, My lingo, My Spirit, My
love, and make each of your actions, words, conversations,
gestures, one that will make a difference in the meaningless,
lifeless, clueless Matrix of this world. If you want to be Neo, you
can't keep walking around pretending you're Mr. Anderson!
You've got to refuse to let the Devil squeeze you into that old
System mold of your old you! You've got to refuse to let him
make you afraid of being different, or of even feeling awkward
about it! Let's hope & pray you come across as different! Long
live being different!
You can't make a difference without being different! Wanna make
a difference? Then dare to be different! Talk different, act
different, be different! Let Me be that difference! Let them see it!
Flaunt it! If you're just pretending to be one of them, then why
should they respect & honor and reward you for being anything
outstanding? Just have the guts to be what you are, different to
the core!
272 _________________________________________________
It's gotta be Me working in you and through you, if you want
to bear good fruit! Whatever you do, wait for My approval, for the
confirmation of My Spirit! Those who rush ahead without Me, fall
flat on their faces. It's a test of faith, sometimes, for you to wait
on Me, instead of running out to do whatever is there at hand to
do.
Waiting on Me is the secret to success! Whatever you wait for Me
to give you the strength, power & wisdom for, will always be a
success - what I consider success.
273 _________________________________________________

you to put the emphasis and focus on the result of that Spirit, the
gift of it, your talent, and he tempted you to lean on that, more
than on Me and My living Spirit Herself! The result was a dead
end street and long detour of the flesh.
But it was expedient that you learned this lesson on one of the
most dangerous tricks of the Devil, and one he uses most
frequently and most successfully with My people: that of getting
them to lean on that which My Spirit has brought forth, rather
than the Spirit itself! To rely on the arm, strength and wisdom of
the new creature I made out of you, leaning on your anointing,
thus creating another "old man" that needs to be shed, let go and
forsaken again.
To be moving in My Spirit & to let My Spirit function in you
requires that you let go of the crutches of the flesh, of leaning on
your own arm, talent or anointing for strength and support, and
just cast yourself wholly into My arms, naked, and willing to trust
in nothing else but Me.
Let Me be your strength, your support, your Source for
everything you need! Refuse to turn to any other means, refuse
to do anything to save yourself or keep your own neck above
water! Renounce that game of "survival" that everybody is
playing, and let that old man die, so that I can resurrect the truly
new man in you!
The Devil will tempt you with compromise. "Oh, but you can use
both, the flesh and the Spirit!" But the more you fall back into the
gear of the fleshly methods of support, the less emphasis you
will put on My vision for you, of truly putting My Kingdom and My
sheep first in your life!
Focus on the new way, the new thing I am doing in your life, and
on the goal and vision of its purpose, namely not merely to gain
support and ensure your physical survival, but to bring true,
eternal life to many, many souls who hunger and thirst for Me!

Your only desire for recognition should be for My recognition.

I'm having to jerk the comfortable pillow of ease from under you,
which is the breeding ground for that lack of desperation &
determination to really go on the attack. I can't make it easier for
you. Things have to get tougher and worse in some ways in order
for them to get better in other ways. The flesh has to decrease,
along with all its comforts, and the Spirit has to increase, which
only happens by greater emphasis on the spiritual & less
emphasis on carnal & worldly things.

You must allow My Words to really sink into your hearts.
That's from where the fruit of learning comes. Wisdom is so
much more a matter of the heart than the mind. You've got to let
Me plant My seeds into your heart, & you must absorb them with
all your heart, not just acknowledge them with your mind. You've
simply got to take the time for those seeds to really sink in.
Learning is something that just can't be done in a hurry.
I'm not going to send you out into battle before you're prepared
for it, or send you into battles you're not equipped for.
I'm revealing to you, bit by bit, every day, how helpless you are
without Me, where your wrong attitudes lie, what your
weaknesses are.
Some people are incapable of living without some kind of
artificially glorified self-image. They can't bare the shame of the
ugly reality of what they really are, how nothing they really are,
how little good there is about themselves, and just how
desperately they need Me to help them stay on guard and to keep
them from stumbling. "He that thinketh he standeth, let him take
heed, lest he fall."
Many know not how nothing they are.
The strength of the flesh is a rope that promises to lead
somewhere, like that way that seemeth right unto a man, but
what is the end thereof? If know what's at the end of that way
that seemeth right unto a man, then you can be prepared, and
walk another road.
Walk the humble road, the road that doesn't seem right to a man
by his carnal reasoning, the road of faith, that tells you, "do it
‘cause Daddy said so." The path of obedience.
There is so much to learn, but it doesn't all fit into your mind.
You've got to make room for it in your heart. Don't seek to absorb
it with your head. Let it sink in deep inside of you!
Take to heart the wisdom of the Spirit. Put aside all impatience &
patiently wait on Me. Have you got the patience and faith, to wait
on Me?
The temptation is often there, to jerk & make your own move,
before I or the prophet have arrived, but your only hope & chance
to make it is to wait on Me.

Claim the keys of focus! Claim the keys of concentration, of
persistence, & rebuke any hindrance from distracting spirits of
the mind who are trying to lure your thoughts away from Me.
(2.Cor.10:4,5)
These Scriptures you memorized act like a chimney sweeper's
brush, clean out your "pipes" & free it from dirt & smut. Being a
"hearer only" of the Word won't do it. And one of the first ways to
become a "doer" of the Word is by memorizing and reviewing it.
Isa.26:3 - You can have the perfect peace of knowing that I'm with
you every step of the way, in all you do, if you keep your mind
stayed and fixed on Me. The Devil will fight with all he's got to
keep you from doing that, because he knows the minute you do,
you become a powerhouse for Me, and he cannot cause any
further delay, friction or disturbance on the inside - until he gets
another chance to distract you from Me again, somehow.
It's a permanent fight to strive to keep your mind stayed on Me, &
that's what those weapons of our warfare are there for, to pull
down those thoughts and mental picture that are trying to
separate & distract you from the knowing that God is right there
with you.
You've got to train and discipline those thoughts in the
obedience of Me. They try to break loose and run wild, hither,
thither and yon, but you've got to catch them & bring them into
captivity, tell them Who's the Boss, and Who they should obey.
And those weapons, like the keys, the Word, the power of praise,
etc., are helping you to do that. But it's a conscious effort, a real
fight, and a mental and spiritual war.
I'm always right there for you. The "knowledge of God" is the
knowing & being fully conscious of the fact that God is right
here, right there with you and a very real and substantial part of
you every second & every milli-second of your life, the very
Power that created you and keeps you going with every breath
you take.
You could and should be absorbing Him consciously with every
breath you take, every thought you think, every word you speak,
etc. But what causes you not to do that is the distraction tactic
the Enemy uses, "every high thing" which exalts itself against
that knowledge & conscience of My Presence in your life, that
makes you think you can do it on your own. "I can do it myself. I
can take care of myself."
You may not be consciously thinking that, but your attitude in

Some people believe in Me, but they don't think they're supposed
to avail themselves of My help. They acknowledge, "Oh yeah,
God is there, somewhere up in the heavens, minding His own
business, so I'm not going to bother Him with any of my own
problems, because He's probably way too busy for that..."
Wrong. Each of you on Earth, are My "problem," My "affairs," My
"business, & that which concerns Me, and the real problem is
that you allow the Enemy of your souls to trick you into believing
that I don't care about you or that I don't want to help you, that
I'm expecting you to solve your own problems without My help!
The problem is that you don't avail yourselves of My help!
Is there an easier way to solve it than to just ask Me for help? In
other words, to pray? No, but you want to show off how capable
you are, how self-sufficient you are, how well you can do it on
your own. And most of you humans are quite successful and
efficient at taking care of yourselves, seeing to your own needs
and those of your closest family, perhaps. But life is supposed to
be more than just about caring for yourselves. You excel at
taking care of yourselves and wonder why you're still not happy.
I intended for you not to just care for yourself and your own, but
also for others, outside of your personal family, because, in My
eyes, you're all one big family! You all have the same great-great-
great-great-great....grandfather, Adam, and after that, Noah, so,
you're all one big family. It's your choice whether you want to
accept your place in that Family and do what you can to help
your brothers & sisters or not. Or whether you prefer to play the
Devil's game & do it his way: "I take care of myself, and if that
means I have to take something away from my 'brother,' I will not
hesitate to do it!" Then you can join his family, but it's not going
to be anywhere near as fun, and the rewards aren't going to be
near as good as they are going to be for those who choose to be
on My side & do it the loving way, the helping way, the
considerate way.
But since it doesn't come natural to you to do things My way, you
might have to ask Me for help to be successfully loving.
295 __________________________________________________
"Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these
My brethren, Ye have done it unto Me." In taking others in, you're
taking Me in, and in trying to do your best so they'll feel
comfortable, you’re bestowing that same hospitality on Me. It's
easy to lose sight of that vision once you become familiar with
someone & have come to know their weaknesses, & it gets
harder & harder for you to associate them with Me in your mind.
Just remember, "one of the least of these, My brethren!" It's easy
to host the noble, the strong, the obviously good, the beautiful,
whatever pleasant qualities people have. But it's always a real
test of love to treat one of the least of My brethren, those with
faults & mistakes, & shortcomings, as if it were I.
I will bless the efforts each of you will make to show you're one
big Family, not just selfish little families all fending for
themselves.
It's an effort to generate warmth, to shine your light, and to do
your best to improve and enhance the situation you're finding, no
matter how gloomy it may seem, according to the gifts & abilities
you were given.
Will you resign at the first show of attitudes you don't agree with,
or will you make an effort to make a difference?
I'm putting before you this challenge and golden opportunity to
grow way beyond your present horizon and restrictions, way past
your former way of handling and facing these types of situations.
You can show whether you've made any significant progress &
have learned from the mistakes of the past, whether you've really
grown & matured through all I've been teaching you through the
events of your life!
The probably biggest mistake to begin with would be to assume
that it's just coincidence or chance that they're winding up at
your place, and if it hadn't been yours, it would have been
somewhere else. There is no such thing as coincidence, least of
all for you, the stars of My show, and you should actually be
thrilled with feelings of excitement & anticipation knowing that
this whole challenge & situation was planned & orchestrated by
Me, it's one of My setups, & therefore, this is destiny!
Often My great testings are crossroads in destiny that look very
mundane, ordinary, and they're camouflaged as such, since
otherwise, you'd obviously shape up, pull yourselves together &
put on your best behavior. I like to test folks in the little things:
how do they handle a flat tire, the dishes, a dirty diaper, or
visitors that may well be on a different wavelength than your own
in many aspects?
I'm adding the ingredient of the strange factor: new, strange
human beings in your lives.
Everybody can live a selfish little life, but only those who have
My supernatural love governing their lives can live like My
Family. And I'm so proud of each one of you who dare to be
different, who dare to step out beyond the confines of what's
comfortable, your natural, selfish tendencies & preferences!
That's what the Family's all about, & I'm so thankful for each of
you who are willing to show: "We are the Family! We don't care
to live just selfish little lives like everybody else; we're not afraid
to make sacrifices in order to show that we've got enough of the
Lord's love to put up with another's idiosyncrasies & different
ways of doing things, etc. We don't mind the different, because
we're open and willing and humble enough to learn from each
other and with each other!" The Family's life-style is one of the
parts about their testimony and witness that speaks the loudest
to the world, the proof of the pudding that you're really different,
really "it," & that what you preach or believe in theory really
works in the practical as well.
296 __________________________________________________
The battle is rarely ever neatly organized. It's bloody
hoodlum, where all that counts is the fight you have, the size of
the "dog" in you! How easily are you going to be intimidated?
How easy is it going to be for the Enemy to get you to turn tail &
run? Or how hard are you going to make the fight for him? How
determined are you to lick him, overcome him, destroy him?
That's what counts!
Don't look at the circumstances! Of course, they're chaos! That's
what war pretty much amounts to, & that's what the Devil is
trying to create all along! Victory is to be able to grab hold of My
peace & heavenly Big Picture of My organized structure of
everything in spite of the temporary chaos the Devil tries to
create. He may show you that devastated landscape he left you in
in the spirit, but you've got to see My heavenly landscape &
beauty of what's going to be & what really is in the heavenly
realm, beyond all that ugliness the Devil's trying to create!
Don't let them influence you, but be an influence on them for the
better! Be a rock in their midst that won't be swayed, that refuses
to be dragged along by their negative currents. In order to reach
that state of spiritual strength and “unshakeability”, you're
simply going to have to come to Me. To be a bulwark of spiritual
strength, you'll have to tank up My peace.
You're just going to have to get a hold of My peace & strength,
you've got to fight for it! It's your first duty! Otherwise, the
Enemy knows he's got a chance, and you see the result of it!
Don't worry about not being "Mr. Perfect!" Nobody is, & you're
just doing fine by letting go & letting Me!
297 __________________________________________________
To maintain a positive attitude & outlook towards people that
tend to strike you negatively or give you battles & trials is a very
important thing, because so much is determined by the way you
see others: your ability to successfully live & work with them,
which will affect your fruitfulness for Me, your unity, your general
happiness & outlook on life, as well as theirs, & it will affect their
decisions & desire to continue to serve & follow Me or not.
So, it's important to maintain a positive attitude, an attitude &
spirit of forgiveness & of love that casts a veil over a multitude of
sins & shortcomings.

instead...
This is the real and ultimate challenge, the greatest adventure
and test this life has to offer. All other paths in life a man or
woman can choose are mere shadows of this great adventure of
the life of the spirit you've chosen to live. "In the Spirit, in the
Spirit, in the Spirit wild & free you can be whoever you want to
be."
It is the path that requires the most courage and other honorable
attributes, since it's impossible to choose this path for vainglory.
Those who walk this path for the wrong motives are going to be
washed out sooner or later.
So don't be surprised if you find yourself exhausted from it. The
flesh only gets used to the spiritual things after some training.
You know how it always prefers the lazy & easy way, unless it's
to enhance its own abilities or show off its own aspirations..
when it comes to the spirit, it always gets very weak. But as you
know, I have chosen the weak things to confound the mighty.
304 __________________________________________________
(Gem:) Staying connected is a matter of training. It's
something the flesh fights. It's a habit or an ability you've got to
grow in and cultivate, like any other art or skill you're trying to
learn. Come back & tank up & get a fresh connection. It's like
rechargeable batteries.
The main purpose of learning to teamwork is to enhance your
ability to be a greater blessing to others. The pleasure & fun part
is also okay, it just shouldn't become the main objective.
In order to have the "connection," last longer, we have to reduce
the intensity of it a little bit. You can't walk around in full
"emotional mode" all day, where you're virtually on the verge of
tears all the time. The main purpose for availing yourself more of
the weapon of greater communication with your spirit helpers is
to become a better warrior.
Stay tuned for checks, instructions or leadings to help you with
decisions you might have to make at the spur of a moment,
which will determine either loss or victory.
When you get ideas, check in: "What do you think about it?" You
have to learn to be able to receive those checks & nudges within
seconds, and you've got to make checking in a habit. The time
has come for you to learn to apply this modus operandi.
God is teaching His church dependence on each other, and there
is really nothing wrong with needing another person, nor being
needed by them.
It's all about learning to be vessels & instruments of His Power,
His Peace, His Love.
When one of you is sick, it affects all of you, and you're expected
to care for them. Just as there's no reason to look down on
anyone who is physically sick, there's no reason to look down on
the one who's battling.
Love means to be willing to even help someone out of a mess
they've gotten themselves into, even if it was caused by their
own mistake. Love doesn't say, "It's your own fault!" Love quietly
acknowledges, "we all make mistakes" & reaches out a hand to
help the other up in whatever way you can.
It's not so much a specific thing you must do. Your attitude is so
important...whether you're understanding of their battles & trials,
whether you're truly compassionate. Compassion means you feel
with them. Can you feel their pain? Do you make an effort to feel
it?
"Understanding" doesn't have to happen with the head, it doesn't
have to figure out the rhyme & reason of what's going on. A bad
emotion is best combated with a positive emotion: closeness,
warmth, love.
Spirit is so much more flexible than the flesh.
Using Spirit power is really what it's all about! The Enemy attacks
you with his negative spirit power! Counter it with the positive
power from above: key-power, love-power, Holy Ghost Power!
It would be easy to love perfect or near-perfect people, but
learning to love people that are giving you a really hard time &
tons of trials, why, that's a challenge! It's also a test on your self-
righteousness. How much better do you think or feel you are?
"He must increase, but I must decrease." Your old self, that easily
irritated & aggressive self needs to decrease, while His Spirit in
your life needs to increase. The flesh has to die, your pride has to
die, and His Spirit in you, your helpers, need to come to the fore
more & take the upper hand. "Long live the Spirit - (forever, in
fact) - & death to the flesh!" That's pretty much the slogan. The
flesh profiteth nothing. The Spirit quickeneth, makes alive, helps
you to overcome & rise above your carnal weaknesses & NWOs.
So, make the effort to live in the Spirit! Make the effort of love!
It's a test similar to the one the Lord went through when he
endured "such contradictions from sinners against Him..." You're
in His same boat: He has called you His saviors in this world, and
like the Father sent Him, so He sends you, partakers of His
sufferings.
Part of being a partaker of His sufferings is enduring the sins, the
negative qualities of the people around you, and of course, the
hardest ones to bear are from those who you'd expect to know
better.
It's best not to expect anything from people that they might not
be able to deliver...
All you can really do is pray & fight to pass this test the best you
can. How are you going to grade yourself when you're through
this? Are you going to be able to tell yourself that you truly did
the best you could? Just be a good co-sufferer with Jesus. It's
sad, the state a lot of people are in, including your own. But
that's where His love comes in: love in spite of anything! If He
loves you in spite of anything, is it so wrong for Him to expect
you to love others in spite of anything, too?
305 __________________________________________________
The term "blindness" really describes the human refusal to
see just how much I am engaged in caring for My children, My
creation.
You've first got to destroy the false foundation the Enemy has
laid, the false knowledge he has implanted in people's minds.
Blessed are they whose minds are not crammed with all that stuff
the Enemy falsely has them term "knowledge." There are so
many people who think they know this, that & the other. They
"know" that I wasn't "really" born in Bethlehem, they "know" that
the New Testament has been "rewritten" & tampered with, they
"know" that you all descended from monkeys. If that is
knowledge, then blessed are they who don't "know."
You really gain wisdom not just by accumulating spiritual wealth
& knowledge for yourself, but seeking ways to improve the world
around you by passing on to others whatever you receive from
Me!
A life of giving! Energy comes from opening up your channels &
allowing whatever comes into your life to also flow onto others &
benefit them as well.
As you pour out, I pour in...
Witnessing is what it's all about, & there is really no other, no
better purpose for you in life. It's the one thing the Devil fights
the very hardest, trying his darndest to keep you from doing it!
Experience the thrills of overflowing on others with My Words of
Wisdom!
You didn't see My hand in your life because you had been using
your own hand to keep you above water most of the time! You
should really allow My hand to bring you the things you want and
need, instead of thinking that in any way you have to make an
effort to acquire them for yourself! You take care of My business,
and I'll take care of you!
You first had to find out where exactly it wasn't at! You took the
long detour, the 8th way of finding out God's will: finding out
what My will isn't! A lot of people are taking that way. In fact, it's
becoming so popular, I'm wondering whether we shouldn't call
the whole thing "The 8 Ways To Find God's Will" to begin with.
And making it clear from the beginning that although the 8th is
very popular, it's also the one that usually takes the longest...
You could have taken a shortcut & believed My Word from the
beginning, which is the first way, and surest way to find My will:
all those promises attached to My commandments, that if you
seek first My Kingdom, I would take care of you. You didn't keep
your eyes on Me and My Word, but you placed them on man
instead, on the fruit of the Word, the result, not the Giver, the
Maker, the Cause, but the result. You didn't put your faith
primarily in My Word, but in what you saw.
Because everybody was so involved in the fruit and
manifestations of the Word, the Word itself wasn't kept in first
place.
When one neglects the spiritual, it becomes lifeless. Life
becomes unlivable, not worth living, empty, vain, a hollow shell!
You thought that because of your sins I couldn't possibly love
you, you didn't deserve it. The Enemy had a grip on you through
your own sins. It wasn't that your sins actually caused Me to love
you less, but they caused you to believe that I loved you less.
That's why dealing with your sins and mistakes is important, too,
you cannot just ignore them. Some who have refused to deal with
them aren't around anymore, they didn't make it. It takes that
honest confrontation with them.
So, now you've come to face your sins, learned from your past
mistakes, have allowed Me to expose to you your own selfish
hidden motives, and have allowed My Words to cleanse you from
them with their white-hot truth, and you have come to accept My
unconditional love and eternal forgiveness.
Trust Me that each stumble will be another fall upward, closer to
Me, closer to My arms, and that I will always be there to catch
you. And no matter how hard you fall, or how badly you err or
sin, I will always, always forgive you! Eventually, if you really
believe this, the Devil will have to see that it's senseless, that he
can't deceive you anymore into thinking that you have "fallen
from grace" or are "too bad for Me."
Realizing the importance of this issue for many, I want to make
sure that you pass on this message to others. Let them know that
God is good, a loving Father, a just Father, Who seeks to be
loved, not feared.
An important part of your ministry must be to expose the lies of
the Enemy!
"The Devil was ordained to see whether he could get you to
doubt God." As long as you refuse to believe his doubts, and
keep believing even with your last bit of strength, you will see
that things will continue to keep working out for the best & turn
out good for you somehow. Encourage people to take that step
of faith to give God a chance! Tell them to make an opening in
their lives for the light and love of God, and to see what will
happen in that margin of time they choose to believe!
306 __________________________________________________
“The trying of your faith worketh patience" (James 1:3).
Patience is a mystery. In the natural, the children of men are
impatient, they would like to achieve and acquire things quicker
than they usually do, understand things quicker. They don't like
to take things by faith and wait for the answer, wait for the
outcome. The general attitude is, "Now, God, when are You going
to start making some sense?" While We go, "just wait and see!"
The world is rushing back and forth, trying to satisfy their own
impatient desires with fast food, fast entertainment, fast money,
fast transportation, fast songs, etc. I'm making your life-style
differ from theirs. Take it easy, take your time. Take your time to
look and see and behold the great wonders of God." If you're
going too fast, you just don't see the hand of God at work in your
life. You've really got to take time to see it. See the hand of God
in the little things, the way things grow, the way I supply from the
ground of the earth, from the sky, from even within your own
loins and hearts the fruits of your bodies and souls... It takes
time to discover the spiritual creation that so many people have
lost St. Francis was talking about: "This is what I must find
again: my soul!"
We talk about "lost souls," because so many people have lost
their soul. I didn't lose it, they lost it. And they can only retrieve
it, find it again, in finding Me, and they'll only find Me if they take
the time to find Me.
The Devil is spurring everybody on to make the most fun,
pleasure, money or other physical accomplishments out of their
time. Whereas what people have to do in order to really gain their
souls back is to sacrifice their time to Me.
I have given them their time, their lives, every minute of it, and
yet they refuse to give any of it back to Me. They have time for
anything but for Me, they try to avoid Me, run away from Me,
sometimes even while pretending to be serving Me.
Many are just too busy, too occupied with other things than to be
able to really stop & take the time to truly find Me.
Finding Me and developing an intimate relationship with Me takes
time!
Many secrets of life lie in taking your time & going slow. You
cannot enjoy your life unless you slow down enough to really
wait for Me, really make sure that you're walking with Me, living
each day with Me, spending time with Me, moving at My pace and
stop trying to rush ahead of Me.
Learn to really focus on Me, develop a living relationship with Me,
where you live, walk & talk & move with Me daily, where you
really learn from Me as your Teacher, your Companion, your best
Friend, Lover & Husband. You cannot say that I truly am your
Husband and you truly are My bride if you've never taken the
time to develop this kind of a friendship & relationship with Me
where you truly take time to learn from Me first, get acquainted
with Me first. Marriage partners talk to each other, communicate
& experience things together.
Neglecting to take time for Me you run into danger of someday
finding yourself out of touch with Me, because you never took
the time to really get to know Me, just like many married couples
in the world live together without ever really getting to know each
other, their deepest hearts' desires, their deepest secret
thoughts, their most intimate feelings, fears, dreams... it really
takes time to get to know each other, and it really does take time
to truly get to know Me.
How interested are you? How much time are you willing to
sacrifice in order to really get to know Me? How much do you
value the fast pace life of trying to rake in all you can get above
the slow pace life of getting to know your Maker and Husband?
How much do you value the eternal things above the temporal? If
you do take the time and trust Me that I will fulfill My promise of
Matthew 6:33 to you, you won't be disappointed.
Feel the thrill of learning to walk with God, to walk at My pace, to
walk hand-in-hand and eye-to-eye with the Creator of the
universe.
Thank you for having the patience, for taking the time to really
get to know Me! It's really only the beginning, and it's a slow-
moving beginning, not much action involved, but as they say,
"Slow beginnings, greater ends." The slow beginnings of
developing a truly deep and intimate relationship with Me is
going to result in the greater ends of greater works, greater
thrills and greater adventures than ever, as you learn to no longer
move and do things in your own energy, but to flow with Mine, to
let the greatest power in the universe move and think and act in
you.
Let the others have their cheap temporary thrills, if they insist,
but come thou & enjoy the greatest adventure of all times. Move
with the pace of God. Move with Me! Let Me move in you! Move
real easy, move with God!
307 __________________________________________________
Have a little faith in Me! Have a little trust! Don't be so
anxious! I'm in control. And there's nothing that happens by
coincidence to any of My children.
At the same time, this doesn't mean that everything is always
going to be perfect. The Enemy will test you as he tested Job, to
see just how far you'll walk with Me, how far you'll still trust Me,
even when it seems like everything goes wrong.
The cowards say, "the risk is not worth taking." The brave say,
"nothing ventured, nothing gained..." In today's world, the Enemy
has sown a lot of distrust. Naturally, he has also sown a lot of
reasons for distrust.
I don't view your "mistakes" as anything nearly as bad as you
tend to see them yourselves! Many "mistakes" you made in your
life were necessary pathways to a whole new dimension, a world
of insight and wisdom that you never even would have found the
door to, otherwise. And even if you had found the door, you
would not have chosen to walk through it voluntarily because it
would have looked so uninviting. How willing are you, how ready
are you for My great adventure in your life? How far are you
willing to let Me take you? Are you willing to place yourself, your
life, your future, your possessions, your substance and all that
you are, into the palm of My hand & say, "You know what You're
doing?"
My way up is down. Those who make it only up, up, and further
up in this world usually do so because they're more attuned to
the god of this world, the one into whose hand it is temporarily
given. Those who are attuned to Me, those who seek eternal
values and things which last beyond material gain & physical
pleasure, will often have to pay the price of suffering for it, the
way of learning from deep, dark & trying experiences.
Nobody wants to be made a fool of. And yet the very bravest of
men in My eyes are ready & willing to look like fools in the eyes
of the world, those "fools for Christ." Broken pride may sound
bad to you, but it sounds good to Me.
Pride is the very sin that separates most men from Me. Are you
willing to risk your pride for Me, willing to give it a try, even IF
you lose everything, for the sake of helping another? In My eyes,
you will still be a winner, because, being fully conscious of the
risks involved, you gave it a try, you gave Me a chance.
I use situations that make a man desperate, that cause him to not
know what to do, that bring him to wit's end, I cause these to
teach a man to look up to Me, to tune his ears to My signals. For
when you are desperate, and you're heading down a road which
you don't know whether it's right or wrong, then you have a
chance to begin to truly hear My voice, My nudges, that's when
you will begin to receive My directions, and you will either hear a
voice behind you saying, "this is the way, walk ye in it," or you
will receive my nudges of warning, signs that tell you to stop &
turn around, but you've got to get on that road first, the road that
Abraham took when I asked him to forsake his beloved son Isaac
for Me.
Abraham never would have been the important man that he
became if he would not have passed this test, the test of those
who choose to love Me above all else, even if it means they will
lose everything they love the most.
He had to walk that way, he had to climb that hill, he had to be
willing to sacrifice Isaac, in order for Me to stop him and say, "It
is good. I know now that you truly love Me." That's the road of
faith.
For many people, their Isaac is their pride. Without sacrificing
your pride, you cannot walk the road of faith and love.
Because pride harbors fear of failure and therefore causes
failure. But if you're willing to lose it all, then you have freedom
to love, as the song says, "Freedom's just another word for
nothing left to lose." Are you ready for the freedom of having
nothing to lose?

(Gem:) Ask the Lord for some Holy Ghost memory power.
Claim the keys of remembrance. Train your memory by
memorizing.
The Lord wants all of you to avail yourself more of your spirit
helpers. Communicating with a (holy) spirit always involves His
presence.
It's not necessary for you to know all the details right now. He
doesn't want you to get tripped off on facts that wouldn't be
relevant to your needs right now.
It's stupid to want to show off. It just makes others feel bad &
inferior & causes unnecessary trials.
It's normal, it's natural to want to be recognized, to want to show
the world the gifts you've got. But wisdom is to learn not to brag,
not to show off, but just to use it quietly and only let it shine on
those who will also appreciate it, who will truly benefit from your
gifts. Do it in an attitude of sharing, not showing off or bragging!
Just enjoy and use your gifts quietly, keep learning how to
enhance them, and keep a humble attitude about it. Just be
thankful for them, & resist the temptation to brag or show off
about them.
If you realize how easily you can be prone to pride, it helps you
to make that extra effort to stay humble. All of a sudden it's not
so bad anymore not to be getting any applause. You wouldn't
want to "lose it" over a bit of attention, right?
This is war, and it's a very crucial time in history. We're all called
to fight & be warriors & soldiers for His cause. Whoever can and
is ready to fight is called to the fray.
For your own protection we're keeping you from any information
that could minister to your pride.
The enemy into whose hands I wouldn't want you to fall is pride.
These things we're revealing to you are not for everybody.
They're primarily for your edification, your training, the
strengthening of your faith and the enhancement of your skill in
using the new weapons.
You must not by any means use the gift of prophecy as a tool to
get attention or feed your own ego in any way. It is appropriate to
be cautious about sharing prophecies.
If you've got any tendencies to get lifted up, then you'd better not
ask for any big, fancy revelations. Just ask for what you need to
make progress in your walk with the Lord and to help others. Use
it more to make headway in the practical realm of applying the
Word, sharing the Word, getting out the Word, winning souls &
feeding the sheep!
Don't go fishing for revelations that are going to be logically
explicable, revelations to blow anyone's mind, revelations of
information, but those that will alter your life, that will enhance
your usefulness for the Lord. Those things that answer questions
like, "How can I really overcome the hurdles that stop me from
giving my all to the Lord & do my utmost & best for Him?"
It's all about stirring yourself up, breaking out of old molds &
habits, not feeling comfy & cozy with what you've already got. It's
not about accumulating messages, it's about getting somewhere!
You've got to get moving! It's got to move you from one point to
another, from the place where you are to a new destination, a
place in your heart of greater & new readiness, willingness,
yieldedness, greater unrestricted obedience. Break out of your
prison!
I'm here to help you jailbreak, in a sense. Many spirit helpers help
their charges to break out of their mental prisons.
That's what causes God's explosions: every time when one of
His children or prophets breaks free from the former confines or
illusions of their minds that held them captive: the notion that
there's anything you actually can't do!
You know in theory that you can do all things through Christ, and
that all things are possible to him that believeth, but if you really
were able to do anything you wanted, what would you be doing
right now?
I told you we could be taking this to a deeper level yet!
What would you do, where would you go, if you really believed
that ALL things were possible to you?
Where do you think you would be the most needed, and what
would you do?
(And) if that's your vision, why don't you focus on it, aim for it,
pray for it to happen & shoot off that arrow into the far distance
and go and find your dream? Anything is possible! You can go
and be and do whatever you want! You have the power to make it
happen! You just haven't believed it so far! You haven't reached
out for it, you haven't grabbed it. If you really want to live your
dream, you can do it! You've just got to commend that dream,
that vision, that desire into the Lord's hands & quit believing the
Devil's lies that he wouldn't give it to you anyway because for
some reason you don't deserve it! Pray for it to happen and for
that dream to become reality!
Just don't forget to tune in to others & let them shine as well, to
support them in the spirit & in deed, to stay humble, to not put
them down, but actually prefer their happiness to your own &
esteem them higher than yourself...
309 __________________________________________________
Get on that road, even if it might not take you where you
thought you were headed. You cannot be afraid of what people
think.
Without a vision the people perish. If you don't know where
you're going, you'll often get nowhere...
When I called out Abraham & he went out not knowing whither he
went, he did have the vision of that country that I promised him.
He had a vision, & he got the fulfillment of it. He didn't have a
clue where it was going to be, but because he followed Me step
by step by faith, I finally gave it to him.
It's time to start looking and to start walking.
Get the boat into motion so that the rudder can take effect. It
takes giving what you've got, or even what you haven't got, and
as you give, I will fill that void!
310 __________________________________________________
I send people across your path that rub you the wrong way;
there's friction. Friction is good to rub off the rough edges on
both sides.
Life can't only be pleasure all the time. That couldn't be its
purpose. The motto for life on earth is: get a taste of the
suffering! Get a taste of what I went through for you!
You needed to come to earth in order to experience Salvation!
You needed to come to earth, to be born of human flesh & blood,
in order to learn what it's all about, to get a deeper grip &
understanding of it all.
The one who brought evil and sin into the world always
questioned everything: why do some have different rights &
privileges than others? Why can't everybody be the same? He
could never trust the Father that He knew what He was doing, he
always figured he could do it better.
I'm only showing you a glimpse here, I won't reveal the whole
picture to you. Some mysteries are supposed to be revealed and
unfolded to you step by step, because you might not be able to
handle them otherwise. You must trust Me in this, also.
Be patient and know that there is more to come. The whole
picture will be perfectly clear when you come Home to Me, and
this should give you another incentive to keep moving toward
that goal, not settling for a comfortable residence & citizenship
on earth, but remaining a pilgrim & stranger on his way to a
better, eternal Home.
All things will never make perfect sense on earth. Some things
will remain in the shadow, as question marks, only to be fully
answered Here, when you've reached the goal, your destination
and the end of your journey.
To you it may seem little, right now, this link of communication
with Me. You'd like to be perfect already, and you're becoming
impatient with all this, "which is in part." (1.Cor.13)
But acquiring wisdom is a process that happens over time.
Knowledge can be gained pretty quickly and easily, but not
wisdom. Wisdom is acquiring the right kind of knowledge,
getting to know the right kinds of things, that don't just stuff your
head with information, but help you make progress in your life &
will be helpful & beneficial to others as well.
"Don't seek to understand in order to believe, but believe, so
that you may understand," as Augustine said, & don't wait until
you've got it all before you start giving, give what you've got, &
more will be given to you! Give what little you can, for that is how
you'll receive more! Give and it shall be given you!
You want to wait until you have perfect wisdom to pass on, but
you don't have to wait until you're perfect before you can give a
little love. Love is seeing beyond the imperfection & seeing Me,
the Perfect in it.
Just look again, & once you find a glimpse of Me in them, stay
focused on that, & not on their negative sides! Just let it be. What
every man or woman or child manages to be, let it be! Don't
expect perfection from them!
In this world, there is nothing perfect. The antichrist will be the
epitome of that kind of the perfection of the flesh, of the carnal
mind, and it will turn out to be the epitome of defiance against
God. The carnal mind IS enmity with God.
Seek My mind, and My ways of seeing things: the beauty in the
imperfect, in the humble and childlike, and escape the thinking of
the carnal mind, which will only criticize, belittle and complain
about all the innumerable little imperfections you see in My
creation!
It's hard for you to praise Me when you see so much "wrong"
about My creation, about the people I've made and the way I've
allowed them to become.
311 __________________________________________________
The circumstances are not as relevant as the lesson they
bring and the incentive they give you to pray. Things are just out
of control as long as you leave them outside of the range of My
control, as long as you neglect to commit them into My care in
prayer. As soon as you put Me in charge, I can change things, I
can act, & I can make things clearer.
312 __________________________________________________
(Gem:) Relate from the heart and gut side of things, the love
side, not the judgmental, analytical side of the mind. From the
side of mercy, as you would want mercy if you were in their
shoes.
The Lord is introducing a whole new modus operandi by trying to
get you to see what lies beneath, not the apparent.
You're all handicapped by the circumstances of the times you
grew up in. Some never having had a relationship with your
fathers, making it much more difficult for you to believe that God
loves you, others totally having lacked love all their lives, and yet
others having been spoiled by their parents, & not having been
taught how to face the challenges in life on their own, because
they were just pampered & protected from everything.
The generation of love-starved parents tries to make up to their
kids what they were missing by going totally overboard in some
aspects, & yet at the same time finding out how that isn't the
solution either, so then they become hard again, and the whole
thing is just one inconsistent mess....
Basically, life on earth is a pretty bad chaos & confusion that the
Lord has to iron out & will do so when He returns. He has allowed
the Enemy and man to make a complete mess out of this world,
and it does take some faith to believe that He's going to clean it
all up, make all the crooked things straight & restore it all to the
way things should have been, but that's one of the wonderful
things about His Salvation. It's going to be universal and
transcend into every area of life, every dark niche of the body of
politics, of family life, of environmental care... simply every
aspect where man ever screwed up & failed to do it right, He's
going to teach them how to do it properly - with your help.
313 __________________________________________________
Everybody needs shepherding. Even when it seems like
they're rejecting it. Kids need training & correction, even if they
act as though that's the last thing on earth they may need or
want. Many grown-ups aren't better than kids in that aspect...
Just like I said that you would do greater miracles & things than I
did, I have also presented you with greater and different
challenges than the ones I've had to face during My time on
earth. Things have become a lot more complex & complicated in
your times, there are more factors that play into the picture,
which makes it harder to recognize what's there to do, which is
precisely the reason why you've got to spend sufficient time with
Me to help you analyze the situation, figure out exactly what's
going on & what's happening here, so that I can help you find the
right solution, and what to do.
Prayer changes things, & when you come to the end of your wit &
the end of your rope, that's where you've just got to commit the
whole thing into My hand & leave it there. Once you've done that,
you can have peace about it & dedicate your attention & time to
other things again.
314 __________________________________________________
Personal relationships & getting along with people is a one
of the major categories in the school of life, with a variety in
possible scenarios just about as numerous as the amount of
combinations of people... a never ending adventure.
Since nothing & no one is perfect in this world, this will be
another factor to help you appreciate My perfect world, when you
get Here, a world void of the evil & lack of love you see and
experience around you.

It's a choice that everyone's got to make: what's more important,
their own physical comfort, or comforting lost souls & therein
finding the Comforter?
And everyone determines their own level of inspiration by the
amount of emphasis they put on either one. How much spirit
power do they apply? How much do they use My spiritual
electricity?
Continue pouring out, continue rolling with My wheel of
revolution and perpetual change, allowing Me to weaken your
flesh, to get it out of the way, to let Me work & move in you. Just
let go & let Me! The more you learn that, the higher the
inspirational level is going to be, and the best way to achieve that
is to actively spread the life, the heat, & the light of love, radiating
and creating heat, rather than merely reflecting it.
Stay in pouring out mode and see what happens!
325 __________________________________________________
The Enemy fights & tries to prevent with all his might your
efforts to stay in tune with Me & hooked up to My Spirit, so he's
sending an additional band of his pests to try & make sure you
stay tied down to his mundane limbo, instead of breaking
through to My sunny side of life...
With increased intensity of stress, activity & pressure, you've got
to increase the intensity with which you seek Me.
When there's a lot to do, you need an extra portion of My
strength, & you need to make an extra effort to stay & rest within
My peace & calm, in order to move through the day in My Spirit &
powered by My joy, instead of getting all fussy & hyped up.
Through the power of the keys, no circumstances on earth you
ever might encounter have dominion over you, but yours is the
dominion over them! You rule your circumstances through the
keys.
I can give you the tools & weapons and the means to increase
your faith, but then it's up to you to use them. You have the
power to change your circumstances, and I need you to make
use of that power! I need fighters who will refuse to let
circumstances get the better of them!
Take the time to really live in the spirit!
Go slow! Make sure you grow spiritually by continuing to feed
your spirits as you go! Fight hard to resist your usual tendency
to lock Me out of your lives during extremely busy or stressy
days! Don't ever let your days become too busy to include Me in
them! If you're too busy to take Me with you in whatever you do,
then you're too busy! If you're too busy for God, then you're too
busy! If you're too busy for love, then you're too busy!
326 __________________________________________________
Tune into the little people who you didn't even know were
there, but who really need you. Start feeding the hungry!
Turn to those who appreciate what you've got to give. When the
laden guests didn't appear to the wedding, the bridegroom in the
parable sent out his servants to call in the poor, the beggars &
the lame, the despised of society!
If the rich & self-satisfied don't show up to your "party," cheer up,
you're in good company: they didn't show up for Mine, either! So,
let's have a ball with the poor instead! Give to those with whom
your giving really counts! Give to those who don't have yet! Let
those know about My coming to the world for whom these good
news really mean Salvation and the answer they've been
seeking!
Minister to the little ones, the despised, the poor and the poor in
spirit.
Look around! If you look for the right things & focus on the
humble & lowly, you will see them. You need to change your
focus in order to see as I see, and to see what I want you to see.
327 __________________________________________________
Impart to others your interest in the Spirit World, your faith in
it, that it's real, even more real than your own world, and that it's
important to get in touch with it, and you will certainly benefit
from it. "You learn as you teach."
Sharing things with others makes them more real.
If the spiritually rich & satisfied don't want to hear, then go & find
new potential vessels & channels. After I found out where the
learned & elders were at, the Scribes & Pharisees, I went out to
seek a few unlearned men to educate them in the Father's ways
from scratch.
Find those who don't have an attitude of, "I'm not searching
anymore; I've already got it!"
Even if you have found the truth, you should always stay hungry
for more, and that's what prophecy is all about: you get more
everyday, fresh from the heavens, like Manna, "There's always
more!" Are you ready for it? Do you want it? Can you handle that
much? Or are you already satisfied with what you've got? I'm
looking for vessels who always want & seek Me for more!
Keep flowing. Keep growing. Cause there's always more!
328 __________________________________________________
I'm not expecting anything from you that you're not able to
give. I make you see the goal so that you will seek ways to get
there. You realize you can't get there by yourself, in your own
strength or energy, so you have to seek My help in order to get
you there. I show you the place where I want you to be, so that
you will do what you can to get there, start seeking for ways,
making efforts, taking steps in that direction, and most of all,
seek My help & wisdom to get there. You start realizing what
things you will need for your journey, what you need to look out
for & what you're still lacking. Next you ask Me to supply you
with the things you still lack. You ask Me to fill in the blanks. You
analyze the problems that caused you not to reach your
destination the last time you set out on this journey, what caused
you to fail & to go astray, you learn from it... that's how you
acquire wisdom.
"The gospel is about divine union and all the dead-ends it takes
to get there." You know those dead-ends, right? You've been
down some of those. But you're not the only one.
Some of those dead ends make you wonder what they're all
about, but I assure you, they serve to drive you closer than ever
into My arms. You cannot do the Master's work without the
Master's power! I don't expect you to do anything without it!
I want you to become sure that it's My power that's compelling
you, My power that's driving you forward, My power, My Spirit
that's causing you to speak, to act, to do anything, so that
everyone will know it, but especially you. You can be sure of My
power, and I want you to be. You can be sure of My love, My
unfailing, and unconditional love, and I want you to be. Be sure
of Me.
You've got to have it inside before you can give it out.
I'm not saying that you've got to know everything before you
start giving out what you've got, I'm just saying that you've got to
get ahold of My power before you do My work. I want you to
know how to find out what I want you personally to do. Otherwise
you might just make a mess out of things, if you pretend you're
ready when you're not.
There are those who feel they're ready, and even if they may
know a lot less than you do, that feeling is of Me. I want them to
go out & learn by trial & error. But I don't have exactly the same
tasks for everybody. Everybody's got their special job to do.
For some it may be getting out the tools & fighting the hand-to-
hand combat out in the streets. For others, it is to strengthen the
spiritual backbone, the frame of it all, against future attacks of
the Enemy. There are the wise elders, who, though they may not
be out there in the fray with the younger ones, have their task in
foreseeing impending evil, and to warn and protect the camp.
What's important is that everyone's in tune with their own,
personal instructions from Me, the pillar and connection of My
personal will for them, and when that's the case, everything will
flow in harmony.
When you can each stand up for your individual needs &
convictions, even your feelings of what you think is the right
thing to do, without having to be afraid of what the others think
or that it might not fit into their preferred way of running things,
when you can freely communicate without fears, when there is
harmony, mutual respect, and My Spirit can flow from each of
you to the other, as it does from Me to each of you (- the shape of
the cross: the vertical beam signifying My connection with you,
and the horizontal standing for your interaction with each other-),
then the world will also see and get the message of the cross, for
they will see My love at work in you (Jn.13:35).
Don't rob others of their opportunities to feel needed. Let others
shine. They must increase, but you must decrease. Don't be
afraid of fading out. The fading out will only be the true fading in.
You fade out of the view of their realm, but fade into Mine, into
My true light of being a true accomplisher of the Spirit.
329 __________________________________________________
There were moments when I was tempted to not believe in
My disciples. But the Father reassured Me that they were going
to pull through somehow.
You must make an effort to view people more positively, and you
must allow yourself to be more vulnerable & risk getting hurt, &
not automatically shield yourself from any possible future
disappointment!
The pain is part of the deal! If you cowardly try to sneak your way
out of it or around it, you're cheating yourself out of necessary
breakings & benefits.
If somebody makes the obviously wrong choice, the right attitude
to have about it is not a self-righteous, judgmental one, where
you separate yourself from them totally, with an attitude of "I
never would have done that," but rather one of knowing that it
could happen to anyone to fall like that, & that it's only My grace
that can keep you from falling.
Thinking you're better doesn't help any. It only makes things
worse. Claim the keys of brotherly love everyday!
You've got to accept people's choices without self-righteously
judging them for them! You've got to respect their majesty of
choice, knowing that I haven't ordained you all to take the same
path! Everyone can be a part of the Family, each walking a
different path. That's the way it's supposed to be. So, don't be
disappointed when someone slips or falls. It's only natural.
Stretch your vision, your faith, your level of tolerance a little
more in your relations with others by making more room for your
fellowman to fall, to sin and fail, just as you have, with the same
right to grace and mercy that you have enjoyed, without judging
them or losing faith in them. Keep the faith in people!
I was trying to get your focus on Me, and I've been trying to get
you not to look at people. But that didn't mean that I never
wanted you to have faith in people! It just meant that primarily, I
want you to put your faith in Me, regardless of circumstances
and whatever anyone does. But now that your faith in Me is
strengthened, I want you to look around and expand your faith in
others as well.
If nothing else, expand your faith in Me, that I knew what I was
doing when I created them, just as I knew what I did when I
created you, including all your faults & pre-programmed failures
& everything! Failing is a part of life, & one of the most important
parts of it. Can you imagine how yucky anyone would get if
they'd only succeed all the time?
So, accept failure, your failures and the failures of others, as a
necessary part of life, one of those "beauty for ashes" things, &
don't take it as a reason to become self-righteous or resentful,
but stay loving! Help people not to give up on themselves. When
they fall, that's when they specially need you to be there with an
attitude of, "I still believe in you!"
See what wonders brotherly love and faith in your brothers can
do! Treat people like potential winners, not losers. Show more
appreciation, not a critical or self-righteous attitude.
Forgiveness IS believing in people. It's believing that I knew what
I was doing in creating them, believing that I know what I'm doing
as I lead them through life, and believing that if I have done it for
you, I can do it for them, too. Your job is just to love them!
330 __________________________________________________
Taking care of your body is work, the same as taking care of
a house or a garden... You have to keep it running well.
Health troubles are like warning signs that things can't keep
going the way they have. A break or a change is required. And, as
you know, changes are good for you, including physical changes
like changing your diet, or fasting for some time.
Again, less is often more. Less food is more healthy for you, less
indulgence bears more positive results, more health.
331 __________________________________________________
My direction for you is to keep on trusting Me, not to take
things on a human level, but to take it as from My hand.
The ultimate goal, as far as I'm concerned, is primarily for your
faith, not necessarily for your income to increase! We all know
you need money, and everybody knows they need money, and
that's what everybody else's life is revolving around, that's
nothing new! But living by faith, & really putting faith in the first
place is, in this day & age, something quite new & radical, and
the more emphasis you put on that, rather than on the problem,
the lack at hand, and even the immediate & quick solution, the
more you're willing to let faith be the answer to the problem, the
more proud I'm going to be of you for being so different, so
other, so holy!
When you don't really have the faith for something, but you trust
the one you love & say, "I believe because you believe it!" That's
saying, "I believe in you! I personally wouldn't have the faith for
it, but your faith for it gives me faith for it, too! Your faith is
strengthening my faith!" That's love & showing faith in one
another!
332 __________________________________________________
Open your eyes so that you may see the wondrous things
about My law. There are more lessons to be learned from My
Word than meets the eye.
Do you see the Devil everywhere, or do you see Me in everything,
even in something the Devil brought about, or the Devil happens
to use himself?
Many people see the Devil in sex, just because he happens to
use it. The question is, who created sex? Me or the Devil? I did.
You can see Me in everything if you look hard enough. It's a
greater weakness to see the Devil in everything than trying to
portray Me and My story even if there are elements in your
portrayal that the Devil uses, too!
The Scribes & the Pharisees even saw the Devil in Me! They
accused Me of being a devil, and so the modern Scribes &
Pharisees of the churches accuse those with greater freedom
than what they have, of the same.
Open your eyes! There's so much more to see! Everywhere! In
My creation, even in a simple story! The world is full of wonders!
Blessed are they who see them! How miserable are those who
see the Devil in everything!
Isn't it much more blessed to see Me and My purpose even in the
bad things that happen to you? To see My working in your life, to
find Me talking to you through the lesson you learn in the battles
you're fighting against the Devil and his ilk? How foolish it would
be to reverse it, to see the Devil in everything, even in Christmas
or in Christian stories, in the sincere efforts of others to bring Me
to the world!
Often it's the same jealousy that the Pharisees had of Me! Those
people don't have the greatness to check their own hearts for
sin, the sin of self-righteousness, they always & only see it in
others.
It all depends on how hard someone is looking for the real thing!
If they really want the truth and nothing but the truth, they're
going to find Me!
And once you've found it, it's up to you to fight for it. To keep it,
to share it, to defend it, to make it grow! My story is everywhere!
There are those who decry astrology & astronomy, when My
Word clearly says that "the heavens declare the glory of God and
the firmament showeth His handiwork... there is no speech nor
language where their voice is not heard..." (Ps.19:1,3). Some just
don't want to see more than what their narrow little minds have

One of the most important "tricks" of faith is, to see the good in You don't really have to battle with the problem yourself, and yet

You act as if the worst thing that could happen to you is that I
take your "baby," your problem, away from you & take care of it
for you. When all I want to do is help you be a better "parent."
You can really feel at ease about the simple solution of giving the
problem to Me! There's nothing wrong with it, it's perfectly
alright, no matter what the Devil or your carnal mind may be
telling you! You don't have to find or come up with the solution
yourself! The solution is to give it to Me in prayer, and sooner or
later you'll wind up with the conclusion that there is no other
solution anyway! I'm the only solution & way out!
At first you still tend to get annoyed by that "primitive" solution &
easy way out, when you have such a brilliant mind to figure
things out by yourself. But you just need to get it through your
head that that "primitive" solution just happens to be the best
solution. You need to expose that arrogance, that pride, as the
same kind of pride that unbelieving scientists or intellectuals
have toward believers. They think it's "primitive" to believe in Me,
primitive to pray, a primitive reaction of a primitive mind's
incapability to cope with the problems it encounters.
The question is, if faith in Me is so primitive and they're so smart,
then why is the world constantly becoming a worse mess,
instead of getting better? What ideas are they coming up with
that really do something to change things for the better & to
improve the state of the world? And where are they when you
need them? Has your own mind saved you out of any real
trouble?
Sure, I do use your mind, and I frequently give you good ideas,
but that's not supposed to mean that you're supposed to find all
the answers there yourself. In fact, if you would thank Me & give
Me the credit for those ideas, I could bless you with a lot more of
them. But that's one of the most common & biggest weaknesses
of man: I give them a good idea, and they think it's themselves.
One of the greatest dangers you have is thinking that it's you
who comes up with all those ideas, whose mind is so brilliant,
when it's I Who give it all to you.
That's another reason why the poor in spirit are the blessed
ones. It wouldn't occur to them that they're smart enough to
solve their own problems. One of the biggest jobs the hordes of
Satan are pursuing is to keep millions of modern minds thinking
they're smart enough to solve their own problems & thus don't
need any help, least of all from God!
It requires humility to admit that you need help. Now, that's what
I'd call smart, when people humble themselves to admit they
need help & call on Me! There's no smartness greater than that!
You can even beat Einstein and the greatest geniuses in the
world by praying! Because by praying you'll be coming up with
better solutions than they ever did. Was the atomic bomb a good
solution? Certainly not! Come to Me, and I'll give and show you
solutions that will exceed the quality of the solutions those
brilliant minds in the world of science come up with. It looks to
Me like the solutions they're creating only create more problems!
So why not be real smart & let Me give you solutions that beat
theirs? You don't even have to have a concrete idea. You don't
even have to define the problem for Me & put it into words, or ask
for a specific solution! You can just give the problem to Me, just
wrap it up into a bundle of prayer & give it to Me, and I'll take care
of it! I'll take care of it! That's My promise to you! Wherever you
might find a problem, just remind yourself that I've promised that
I'll take care of it! I'll take care of it for you because I love you so!
That's the overwhelming love I have for those and reward those
with who take the time to seek Me daily: A special service
granted to the wisest of the wise, those who don't think they're
smart enough to solve their own problems, but believe that the
smartest thing to do is to give their problem to Me. I reward their
faith by taking care of it.
337 __________________________________________________
If I be lifted up, I will draw all men unto Me. If you praise Me,
then you can draw them to Me by your faith. You can not only
pray for them, but even praise Me for them, that I died for them
and have saved them. Your faith for them can save them. I have
even given you the power to claim souls. Although it is ultimately
up to them and their decision, I have given you such power over
them that you can mightily influence them in My favor, and
whatsoever you loose on earth will be loose in heaven also
(Mt.16:19). Thus is the power of the keys of the Kingdom!
338 __________________________________________________
You're being influenced by outward appearances, because
you've been feeding that! You screw up your expectations in the
physical to unrealistic levels. You need to realize that that's just
the Enemy teasing you. He's saying, "Yeah, see here, the goodies
you could have, over on my playground?"
If you feed your appetite for unrealistic standards in the carnal,
it's as if you're tearing down & belittling and allowing the Enemy
to belittle what you've got!
The danger about feeding yourself the input from the media, is
that you're not content with what you've got anymore, you don't
appreciate it anymore. It's like the verse in James about one who
sees his face in a mirror and forgets from then on how he was
made. He thinks he is actually that image he saw in the mirror. He
thinks his flesh is all he is; all of a sudden his spirit, his soul
becomes irrelevant! And so it can happen if you focus too much
on the physical & the flesh.
That's why John listed the lust of the eyes among those things
that separate you from the Father, they separate you from love,
they separate you from the truth, because only the Spirit is the
truth, the truthful, eternal picture of you or anyone else, that
which is beneath the temporal shell, that body, which is now
here, but you look again, and it is withered. Don't fall for those
temporary illusions!
339 __________________________________________________
One of the greatest needs of human beings, including
children, is to feel needed, to feel wanted, to feel as an important
part of their families; not a burden, but a blessing.
If even I couldn't do much in places where people's unbelief
hindered Me, and if what saved the blind man was actually his
faith in Me (Lk.18:42), his need for Me, his desire for Me; if even I
needed to be believed in, to be needed and wanted in order to
fully perform My best, then how much more do you all need that?
I and you aren't all that different; if I needed to be believed in,
then your fellow servants need it, too, and you owe it to them, to
believe in them, to need them, to depend on them, just like you
owe it to Me, for that is part of the great Commandment & the
Law of love! While I don't want you to make a god out of
someone else, it still is your duty to love others, and you can't
really do that if you don't believe in them. Everything you do to
Me, do it also to them! Everything you do to them, you're doing
to Me! If you believe in them, if you show them that you need
them, if you show them that you want them, that you trust them &
trust that they won't let you down, then you're showing that to
Me, also.
I'm not talking about having unrealistic expectations of people,
I'm just talking about having a little bit of faith in them.
Let them shine, trust in them, let them develop their skills & put
your own ministry on the back burner for a while & just be their
support, their coach, their cook & the one staying by the staff
while they go out & fight the battle for souls, and I promise, I'm
going to see you through somehow.
Things that are impossible with men are possible with God, so,
don't limit Me and My actions to your mind gear of
impossibilities, but make it happen by having the faith for it to
happen. What do you want to be written about you: that I wasn't
able to do many miracles for you because of your unbelief, or
that your faith has saved you? Your faith can do anything for
you, so, have faith.
340 __________________________________________________
As the merging of the dimensions approaches, you will first
witness that this world is going to become more & more like hell.
The more this world is going to turn into hell, the more you'll
realize that you have no part in it, that you're no more than
strangers & pilgrims in it, because you are Heaven's children.
The more you realize that you're not a part of their world, the
more you will cling to Me, and the more I will empower you to rise
above this world.
If you freak out now, during this comparatively harmless drill,
what will you do when the real crisis comes?
You must learn to trust Me, to hold out.
What you desperately need is more faith, and through this
experience I'm causing your faith to grow. But you have to put
yourself on My side fully. That means, it has to be clear to you in
your mind that when it comes down to it, you have no part in this
world, you are Mine. I'm supposed to take care of you when they
come at you from all sides.
When you run to the enemy camp in order to find shelter &
supply there, because you don't trust that I can give you what I
need, it may look like a rather "harmless" form of betrayal, but if
you already run to the System for "salvation," instead of wholly
relying & trusting in Me, then what are you going to do when the
real trouble comes?
So, holding out in this situation means a lot more than meets the
eye right now! You've got to refuse to play their game & refuse to
give in, refuse to give heed to their threats! Yes, it's going to
require a big miracle for you to make it in this situation, but that's
what it's going to require in the future, too! And if you won't make
it now, through this test, then you're certainly not going to make
it very far in the big one!
If your faith and life-style, your attitude and everything about you
is the real thing, then even the eventual crisis, of which all the
others were only shadows, will only be another part of your life of
faith, My plan for you, My Big Picture & everything.
All those horror visions of the book of Revelation are real, but
some people are afraid to deal with it. They want to close their
eyes & hide behind the fake front of the System. It's a matter of
facing your fears bravely.
If your faith is the real thing, then you'll also be able to deal with
the ugly parts of the Big Picture, you won't have to seek comfort
in the Devil's dream world anymore.
I will supply all your needs, even without any help from "uncle"
System.
The closer you have come to Me and to My side and shown that
you really mean business with Me, the more the Devil has
withdrawn his appearances of false peace from you, now that
you're getting more serious about fighting him, instead of
coexisting peacefully!
All that hype about wealth being a sign of God's blessing isn't
always true. Especially not when that wealth distracts you from
Me & keeps you too busy to hear My voice of truth. Wealth isn't
always a sign of My blessing, but often merely a sign of
compromise with the System.
The trick about "Using It" is not to allow “it” to use you!
Sooner or later, it's going to be all-out war. No more peaceful
coexistence then. The sooner you wake up to the reality of war
and declare your independence from the System & lean wholly
on Me and make Me the sole Source responsible for your needs,
the better.
341 __________________________________________________
Desperation is good for you; it drives you closer to Me.
Praise Me for your problems. Remember that “the neglected path
of praise will often lift you right out of the pit into which the devil
is trying to cast you!”
The greater the problem, the greater the victory, and the more it's
going to strengthen your faith in the end. You need those greater
problems, in order to give you greater faith, in order to tackle
even greater problems, greater obstacles & seeming
impossibilities in the future. This is all part of your training, your
faith-expansion & -growth program.
It's from Me, from My hand; not the Devil who's doing this to
attack you. it's primarily Me behind all this to test & strengthen
you faith, and, ultimately, to prove to you, "hey, what's all the
fuss about? I'm right here!" I told you, "I'll take care of it!"
Did any of your worries ever come to pass? Did I ever allow any
of those impending shadows that you saw, to really fall on you?
Didn't I spare you & deliver you from them time & time & time
again? So, isn't it about time you started trusting Me?
342 __________________________________________________
With giving to children you give and give and give, and every
now & then you get a little something in return. But that's
because your capacity to give is much greater than theirs. They
simply don't have as much to give, except through their
obedience.
So it is with Me. My capacity to give to you is much, much greater
than your capacity to return to Me, and some have more grace
than others to return My benevolence & love to them in form of
their obedience to Me. Not everybody's the same.
I'm already happy if I find someone willing to listen to and receive
from Me.
All I really want is that you love Me and to let Me love you, and to
keep in mind the vision of allowing that love between us to
overflow on others. But I know the difficulty of your task: after all,
since you're representing Me, and you're trying to tell them about
Me, they're not very interested, since they're simply not very
interested in Me.
Only pain & suffering brings out the best in people, and that's
when they usually turn to Me. As long as everything goes alright,
they couldn't care less about Me.
That's why I have to allow things not to always go honky dory for
everyone all the time. And usually those who find themselves
"less blessed" in physical aspects, do find themselves more
greatly blessed in spiritual aspects in the long run. The poor, the
needy, the sick, the handicapped, the disabled & weak... they all
find their way to Me much more easily & quickly than the rich, the
strong, the successful, those for whom everything goes alright...
343 __________________________________________________
Knowledge puffeth up, love edifieth. I'm trying to steer your
whole way of believing, your spiritual life or "religion" away from
your head & move it more to your heart. I don't want you to enact
your religion, your belief, with your head so much. It's much
more important that you grasp the matters of the heart. Seek not
to understand these matters with your mind, with your head, but
with your heart. Don't just let these things I tell you serve to
inform you, to merely add to your knowledge, but let them form
you, shape your heart, and consequently change your life & your
actions. Only this way will you be able to move out into other
people's lives & change them also.
You can't bring about a revolution, a rebirth, from your head.
Everything in life depends on choices. It's part of a parent's love
to leave their child a choice.
My children choose to let Me have the ultimate choice, it's okay
with them if I don't always say "yes" to everything they want.
Whereas those who insist on having their way regardless of Me
and what I have to say about it, reap the consequences.
This doesn't mean that those who don't care about Me always get
what they want, nor that those who do care about Me never get
what they want. It depends on what it is they want and a million
other factors. There are so many different situations, because
with every person it's different.
Be able to learn something valuable from practically anyone you
meet, to believe in others, that I made them for a purpose, and
that you can learn something from that person.
You just can't legislate sincere goodness of the heart.
Those who get the core and gist of My message, that love,
nothing else, is the secret, they are the ones who have their
hearts open to Me.
It's the heart that matters, not some kind of dogma or theory,
doctrine or any other head stuffing. The key and the gist of My
teachings and of My life, and of all I want to convey to mankind is
love, and that's a matter of the heart, not of the head.
Let your faith, your religion, what you live and preach, be a
matter of the heart, not a head issue! Pride starts in the head.
You get a "big head" about something you are, something you
did, something you're part of. But humility is a knowledge from
the heart that recognizes that whatever I get accomplished
through you, I get it accomplished basically in spite of you, your
weaknesses (those which you often consider your strengths) and
your flesh. It's what enables you to be grateful for one another
instead of competing with one another, to appreciate one another
instead of judging & labeling one another, to love one another,
instead of seeking to promote yourself.
344 __________________________________________________
I have given you power to reverse the curse through prayer
and the keys. You can reverse the effect of the curse the fall of
man brought into this world, at least in the lives of certain others
you touch by claiming the keys & directing My power toward
them.
It's never "beyond hope." For Me, there is no such thing as
beyond hope. It's never too late for love.
Everybody's got the majesty of choice, that qualifies them to
make decisions to either make good of this life or to destroy it.
If you give someone the truth, he can still decide to receive it or
reject it. It's like with any other gift: he may decide to receive it or
reject it. When they reject what you're offering or giving them
that's not your fault. It's their decision. It's not because what
you're offering them isn't good. They just don't want it. Their
perception of quality, their standard of values is corrupted.
Anybody who chooses to worship creation (or even worse, the
creations of man), over the Creator, will reap the repercussions
of that decision.
There will be differences in the repercussions of your decisions.
Not everybody will wind up exactly the same, regardless of
whatever they did...
What can you give to someone who doesn't want anything that's
good?
There is such a thing as squandering your crown, your royal
heritage. You may still be a son and a welcome member of the
Kingdom, but you forfeited your heirloom. Sometimes when
you've gambled & lost it all, the result is actually shockingly
simple: it's gone. You've lost it, squandered it, and it's gone. No
more heritage, no more part of the kingdom to rule and reign,
because you chose to be your own little king in your own selfish
little kingdom before it was due, you wanted it all right here &
now, you wouldn't wait. You were too short-sighted to invest your
life into some promised future event, you wanted all the fun, all
the comfort right away.
Only faith inherits the Kingdom. There are those who despise it
for lack of faith. So, always cling to your faith. Don't let it go.
Keep fighting, keep running, keep working for the Kingdom, keep
seeking first the Kingdom. Don't put "all these other things," the
concerns of life, "what shall we eat, what shall we drink,
wherewithal shall we be clothed" first & make them your primary
concern! That's the short-sightedness & foolishness of
unbelievers, those who lacked the faith necessary to inherit the
Kingdom. They despised the kingdom and the birthright, the title
to the throne for a mess of pottage. They're still sons, but not the
heirs of the promise and blessing.
345 __________________________________________________
It's not about accomplishment. It's about being a pioneer of
the new, about being a herald of the unknown, the strange, the
radical, the bottle-breaking, raw honesty & truth... your way of
communicating. Just like My way of communicating with them
was too much for the majority of them to take, it was too honest,
too open, exposing their insides too much, their hearts, they
couldn't bear it.
Paul saw that the church was to become something bigger than
just a bunch of Jews having found the Savior & received the Holy
Spirit.
Some people just want to be so exclusive, so special, such a neat
& special little clique, they don't want to open up & make room
for the new. After all, they've been there from the beginning. In
fact, from birth. They're like the folks in My parable who
complained that those who didn't toil the same amount of hours
as they still received the same reward & pay for their work. It
says that because they judged the king for his goodness, they
were cast out. That's why you see a lot of those folks leaving &
heading for the darkness, and others, who hadn't been there
from the first hour coming in & taking their places, their crowns.
This is also another reason why I've had to allot more time. This
lesson must first become clear. It's not the flesh, any carnal birth-
right of being born into a certain group, club or church what
makes you special or My Endtime elite. It's how much each one
embraces the spiritual heritage.
You don't have to be old to be an old bottle!
The problem is with the hearts of the people, what's within, it's
their attitudes, & that's something hard to get rid of or to deal
with. Something has to happen from the inside. It's what
happened when the Early church in Jerusalem finally got the
point & obeyed My commandment to go into all the world &
preach the gospel to every creature. Unfortunately, they didn't
really get it until the persecution came.
That's why persecution is ultimately good for you. For one thing,
it weeds out those who are only in it for the wrong reasons, who
are in it because it's the comfy little rut they've been in most of
their lives. It also draws you closer to others, as you're forced to
cling to them for shelter. The major difference between now &
then is that they actually had a physical country, which for the
carnal minded still meant the "Promised Land" or the "Holy
Land." They hadn't gotten the point yet that I was actually
through with that, & some Christians still didn't get the clue.
The "Physical heritage" thing is a trip of the flesh. Those who
don't realize that the royal heritage I'm speaking about is a
spiritual one are actually lagging far behind those pioneers like
Paul, who did what he and all My church was supposed to be
doing, way before the rest of them got the point. What
determines how much of an old bottle you are is how much you
cling to the flesh. How much do you allow any sort of physical
advantage to minister to your pride? The more you realize that
the flesh profiteth nothing and that the Spirit is all that matters,
the more of a new bottle you can become. But first you've got to
allow Me to shatter your old bottle attitudes, mindsets & carnal
dogmas you cling to, that which you "know" & think you're so
sure of.
Have you got the heart? Have you got the love? Have you got the
Spirit? Have you truly got what it takes to be My disciple?
Time will tell.
The flesh always needs to have something by which it can pull
itself up, elevate itself, and glorify itself. For many it's age or
looks, fitness... whatever the Devil can get them to worship or
use to distract them from what's really relevant: the Spirit!
The greatest danger in communal living does not come in form of
disunity but it's the negative peer pressure of lukewarmness! The
contagious disease of stuck-in-the-rut-ness. The constant
resistance to change, especially true change & deep metanoia of
the heart. The comfortable refusal to really open your heart to
new things, your eyes to new things I might show you - even
about people you never even cared to notice before, because you
were way too preoccupied with yourself!
True heaven comes through the desperation that makes you seek
Me whole-heartedly - a desperation that comes from the total
failure of finding anything in this world that will truly satisfy you.
Those who are satisfied by less than the real thing - that joy
unspeakable that comes from utter union with Me, found only
through the rejection of fleshly substitutes - only have a cheap
counterfeit version of heaven-on-earth.
They may have everything, but if they don't have the heart of the
matter, then they don't really have "it."
As long as you still have an idea of how "it" is supposed to look
in the carnal, as long as you define what you're looking for by
certain physical criteria, of the way the ideal person should look
or what age they should be, then you haven't really gotten the
point.
Until you have gotten that point, you don't have anything to offer
them, either! As long as you are still deceived by fleshly
appearances, you're not any smarter or wiser than they are, so
what could they learn from you?
Only if you allow Me to fill that aching void, that "God-shaped of lies, really is the prince of the world, then to what extent would

fulfillment of that verse, "Whether therefore ye eat or drink; or & listen to, do you really know the lyrics of, & what they're all
about, & what they're really saying? There are a few, yes. But
with the majority of them, you just listen to them because you
like them, you like the melody, the way they're being sung &
played; you like the music & enjoy the fact that it's written &
being performed by a fellow Christian, but you don't even know
the lyrics of some of your long-standing favorites, with few
exceptions.
Now, if that applies to you, how can you expect more from your
audience? You've got to admit that in the majority of cases,
witnessing and playing music are 2 entirely different cups of tea
& 2 totally different stories, 2 separate things.
You can use the music to open the door for witnessing to
someone, but never kid yourself into thinking that you've really
delivered the message, delivered the goods, by just singing a few
songs unless they're really straight in the face, POW!
But as long as that's not the case, you've got to be realistic in
seeing music merely as a tool to open doors, to attract people to
the message, but never as the message itself. It's not an end in
itself, only the means to an end! The end, plus the beginning, the
A & O, is the Word! Jesus! You're only driving it home, once
you're giving them Jesus! No matter how nicely you're trying to
wrap up the Word, the message, the heart & soul & core of what
you believe in, unless you make it clear enough that it's Jesus,
you can't really say you've delivered your soul, delivered the
message & brought home the point of what it's all about.
You're not really making a point until you bring'em to Jesus. And
no matter how attractive you may try to make it, nothing beats
the real thing, the naked Christ!
Give'em the raw and naked Jesus, if you really want to make it
count, if you really want to feel like you're getting something
done, because anything and everything other than that is just
plain & simply - when it comes down to it - beating around the
bush!
It's gotta be the real thing, the whole thing - it's either all - Jesus -
or nothing at all! Jesus is everything! Jesus is all of it, all that
matters, the Beginning & End, the A & O, and if you want to
convey anything that matters then convey Jesus, not just some
nice music about Jesus, but Jesus Himself!
It's either Jesus or nothing at all!
The world doesn't need another nice wrapping for Jesus, that
just hides His naked truth, all they really need is the naked Jesus,
just the raw and naked Jesus, nailed to a tree for them in order to
give them what they've been looking for all their lives & what
they're going to continue looking for, for the entire rest of their
lives, if you don't give Him to them!
Make souls your goal, & don't try & steal the show!
Your life will talk louder than a thousand words or a thousand
songs! What good is all the beautiful music in the world if you're
not living what you're preaching, if you're not giving them the
living, naked Jesus Christ? What else is actually worth giving?
What else is it worth losing your breath about? What else have
you got to give that actually gets anywhere, than the raw and
naked Jesus?
That's all you need, and all you ever needed, the raw and naked
Jesus!
Yes, you can make a song out of it, but do you have the guts to
sing it? Do you have the guts to live it? Sometimes it's just not
enough anymore to be preaching the good stuff without ever
really living and doing it yourself! Sometimes there is a point
where it's enough words, and now it's gotta be action, where they
can't take anymore preaching, they gotta see you living it, or else
they're just gonna boo you out!
It's gotta be the real thing, made real by your actions!
Can you imagine what a farce the life of Jesus would have been
without that final, heavy ending part, that dying on the cross? In
the same way, your life is only a farce unless and until you're
taking up that cross; there's just no way around it! If you need
help carrying it, ask for help; that's no problem!
You've just gotta be ready for Jesus & say, "Yes, Lord, my
wonderful, naked, raw Lover and Husband, I'm willing to take that
same cross You carried for me! I'm ready to finally return the love
You gave me, to respond to Your call." You've just gotta trust Him
that He's going to help you make it, like the Father helped Him to
make it! He's not going to let you down - ever!
He hasn't let you down during all these years you've been
refusing to carry His cross, how much less is He going to let you
down once you decide to finally pick it up!
That's all you need, and all the world needs from you: the naked
God in Jesus Christ! Just give them the naked Jesus, nothing
else - no cover-ups, not pretty clothes, no wrappings; nothing,
just the raw, naked and true Jesus Christ!
You've got Him! What else do you want to give'em? I don't care
what else you do, as long as you give'em Jesus! I don't care
about anything else... just give'em Jesus!
If you want to know what it is that you can't keep in for yourself
any longer; it's Jesus! To Hell with anything else; anything that
might get you to waste your time on anything else but giving
them Jesus! You can't keep Him in! You can't keep Him in, you
gotta let Him out... You gotta let Him out in order for them to let
Him in!
358 __________________________________________________
Getting your act together means getting your priorities
straight, getting down the gist & essence of it all, without much
further ado about it. It's the rediscovery of the "simplicity of
Christ," that you need, without any fancy wrap ups, no neat
packaging needed... Just forget about the packaging, if it tends
to take too much of your time, & just present the raw & naked
Christ.
There are too many people getting tripped off with the pretty
fringes & frameworks of Christianity & the Christian life while
neglecting the essence of it. Everybody's busy working on their
presentation of their Christ, their individual little version of Me,
instead of just plainly presenting Me, period! - While time is
running out!
It's time to really get back to the basics; to quit talking about a
revolution & revolute instead, to quit talking about it & just start
doing it.
You can sing about the problem, you can sing about the solution,
but nothing really drives it home like living the solution, being
the solution, and attacking the problem head on. The problem is
that too few people are doing what actually ought to be done.
They're finding nice, convenient ways around it & to keep
themselves busy with this & that & the other thing related to the
real thing, but not the real thing itself.
So, the less time you waste on "Hey, everyone, look here at my
nice packaging, my nice wrapping of the gift!" - the better it's
going to be, because what the world needs is the gift, not any
more wrapping paper! Just grab the gift, which is Me & My Word,
& give it out to whoever you meet; that's basically the message,
that's basically the job, & anything else is basically just a poor
excuse & basically a waste of time when it really comes down to
it. Especially in the light of the fact that so many people are
spending so much time on all that goes around it, & so few hit
the nail right on the head!
It's time to hit the nail around the head, & to stop beating around
the bush. So, concentrate on the essential; try to really focus on
hitting that nail right on the button, don't let the Enemy distract
you; quit fooling around. Concentrate on getting out the Word,
getting Me to people, whichever way you can.
If you do that, then you're hitting the nail on the head. Remember
that time is short. The Titanic is up to its neck in water, and the
count of souls lost and won is going to be on you, among others
who are responsible. It's not just a "nice thing to do" to save
souls, but the only right thing to do, in a situation like that, as I
see it, and as the whole world is going to see it, soon. So, how do
you see it? And what are you going to do about it?
359 __________________________________________________
In what ways was I tempted with anger? Sometimes I grew
impatient with some people. Certainly I displayed anger toward
the hypocrisy of the Pharisees, but that wouldn't necessarily fall
under the category of sinful anger, but more something like
righteous & godly indignation. I did have to deal with anger more
in My younger years.
One sin that's related to anger, - and anger can sometimes be a
manifestation of it - is self-righteousness. Sometimes we see
someone we look up to behave in a certain way, and we think we
have an equal right to act the same way. I was sometimes
tempted with thoughts of judgment in a premature way, before I
was really "ready" to be a Judge, so to speak, which is a very
common & natural thing to happen during many people's youth.
Usually, what helps one to get over this, is to experience other
people's anger, to witness how ugly it can be, and how it hurts to
be at the receiving end of it. Having seen other people display
their anger from a child's viewpoint and the viewpoint of a weak
human being helped Me to be more merciful, and to be more
"slow to anger," so to speak, more longsuffering.
Pride was a sly & subtle enemy to overcome, since it was My
goal and destiny to become an eternal, living symbol and sample
of humility, God's Lamb slain, in humble surrender & yielding.
And although this was My nature all through My life, naturally,
the Enemy tried to tempt Me with pride during My earlier years.
One perfect example of this is when My parents missed Me & I
had stayed back at the temple without their permission... The age
of 12 is a very dangerous time when one is very easily prone to
pride. One begins to think of himself as very smart and superior
to others, even to his former or present superiors or parents.
It's hard to know you are the Son of God, and not be tempted by
pride.
But I was reminded of the fall of Lucifer, how it was pride that
caused it, and I was reminded of the purpose for which I had
come into the world: not to lord it out over anyone in pride, but to
humbly lay down My life for the sins of the world, sins such as
this very one I was experiencing in such moments during My
youth. I learned a lot more about pride, all of which helped Me to
understand how much wiser it is to be humble, how much purer,
how much more happy one can be if he simply does not allow
pride to take root in his heart but lets humility dwell there instead
in full bloom. Humility was clearly the better choice and the
better path, and I saw that very early on in My life.
You know that if there's one thing I stand for, it's truth, and I am
the Way, the Truth and the Life. Consequently, there have been
only very small & minor incidents during which I was tempted to
tell an untruth, to slightly exaggerate something, or use a certain
apparition of a circumstance in order to enhance My own image. I
also learned these lessons very early in life. Once you have
battled against the father of lies & looked through him, and once
you have seen poor pitiful human souls be victims of lies, deceit
& untruth, it's pretty hard to fall into that same trap yourself. But I
have been tempted in this point, too, and you may learn about
these incidents in greater detail, latest when you're with Me in My
Kingdom. This kind of stuff is future educational material, and it
already is, in Heaven.
Envy was a sin that was easy to fall prey to as a relatively poor
young carpenter's son, when confronted with the riches of
others. Then again, it was fairly easy to overcome, remembering
or being confronted with those who were yet much worse off
than us: the lame, the sick, the really poor; and if one had a
grateful heart, it was easier to see one's own blessings & it
became harder to be envious of others.
Also, being the Son of God and Heir of untold spiritual & eternal
riches, it soon became evident that envy was a result of looking
at things in the flesh, through carnal eyes, & losing sight of the
eternal, the unseen. Envy could be overcome by looking through
the eyes of faith, at the inheritance of the Father's Promise, -
indeed, of all that the Father held and had to offer... It made all
that the world had to offer look pretty puny in comparison, which
is also one reason why the Devil wasn't successful at tempting
Me with all its riches, even at one of the very weakest points in
My life, when I felt completely empty and drained and virtually on
the brink of starvation...
One of the ways in which I was tempted by avarice was being
tempted to withhold of My spiritual riches & all that I've had to Since I was a Man of Love, you might say that Lust was one of
give; not so much because I wasn't a cheerful Giver, but more for My more difficult temptations, but as the Bible says, I was
reasons of physical exhaustion; sometimes the tendency to feel
a little bit like they didn't deserve it, and at other times mixed
with the temptation to just be lazy. It's easy to be stingy with
some and then again extremely generous with others, and we
have to be careful to not be partial in our sharing, not to act from
a sense of personal preference, allowing some to indulge in our
love and goodness and all we have to offer, while being more
stingy with others, but to equally shower everyone with the same
opportunities to be blessed.
On the other hand, sometimes there is a justified and necessary
withholding.
Avarice can be overcome by the sheer determination to give, to
continue to pour out one's life without measure, without holding
back, a determination to give all.
Certainly I was tempted by fear, one of the Enemy's most
effective weapons & one of the greatest and most typical
manifestations of his power. I was tempted by fear before I faced
My darkest hour, the night in which I was betrayed, and since I
knew what was going to happen, this wasn't the first time I had to
face that Enemy. Being the incarnation of an all-powerful God, to
experience fear was the epitome of the opposite of everything I
had been and was in the Spirit, and was to become. Fear is one
of the sins that has the greatest grip on humanity, next to pride,
and since I was to free mankind from it, I've really had to conquer
it. Of all My temptations, I confess that fear was one of the
strongest, although I was generally a courageous Person and
One Whom others probably would have considered fearless.
But there were those moments of temptation when the Enemy
just knew how to rub it in and to drive it home, that I, My flesh,
My body, was going to be in his hands for a certain time, and that
there was nothing not even the Father could do about it, or could
do to help Me then... The fear of death, the fear of pain; not the
fear of actually dying or what was to come afterwards, but the
fear of that hour, that cup, which, if it would have been possible, I
would have preferred to have it pass from Me... But it was to be, it
had to be, I had to go through that!
I, the Epitome and Embodiment of faith, Who had walked on
water, Who had raised the dead, Who had disappeared from
within the midst of My enemies, Whom angels served and to and
through Whom God Almighty spoke and Moses and Elijah had
appeared, I was to be subject of fear, in order to free all of
mankind from the grip of the same.
There were some who accuse Me of intemperance or gluttony.
They called My a wine bibber and a glutton; and it may be true
that I indulged more in the good pleasures this life had to offer
than some of the holy men people had known before, like John
the Baptist, who was living a rather ascetic life-style compared to
Me. In fact, this was one of the reasons why John himself
doubted Me. He could not understand how we could be so
different in this aspect. Maybe you could say I was sometimes
tempted to live a little bit of heaven on earth and to have a little
bit of the share of the heavenly life while I was still on earth.
I've had to watch it. I've had to keep the balance. I've had to learn
to be sober & vigilant, for My adversary, the Devil was walking
about as a roaring lion, and he was out to devour Me. I didn't care
about the accusations of the people, but I also knew that this life
wasn't the end, My destination. So, the pleasures of this life were
not My reward yet, there was something much more to come; and
yet I knew that all things were Mine, and I wanted to give My
disciples - including you - a sample of the life to be lived in
fullness and abundance, although some Christians nowadays
tend to take this to the other extreme & go overboard on this &
actually tend towards downright covetousness & greed. That was
not what I had meant, and the church will have to pay for this by
destroying its name - besmirching My name and the name of
Christianity and branding Me and My followers in general as
something that I am not, never was, and certainly didn't intend
for My church to be.

The System is menacingly putting pressure on you & threatening life-style.
The world has to see and recognize that you're not part of the
big, fat, man-eating Goliath, the machinery of so-called
Christendom, along with its Zionist friends & masters, that are
swallowing up the poor of the world, but that you are different.
But in order to reveal and show yourself as the little stone-
swinging David you are, you must des-attach yourself of all that
heavy-weight armor & all the ado that doesn't come in handy in
effectively fighting the System tyrant.
You're guerillas. And though you are equipped with sophisticated
spiritual weaponry, in the eyes of the world you are and will be
nobodies. So, it's time to quit trying to look threatening or
impressive, it's time to start wielding those weapons that are
really going to make the difference, and show the world what
you're capable of: the slaying of the giant.
But it's going to have to be very obviously My hand and My
means that will have saved you & will have given you the victory.
The real greatness I give each of you individually all depends on
your personal obedience to Me, your personal connection with
Me. You can't rely on some general type of blessing, anointing or
protection just because you're part of My Endtime Elite. Every
soldier has to prove himself of his worthiness to be truly part of
that Elite. How much are you each behaving as an elite soldier?
My Family is still the best part of My army, and the branch I am
most proud of. But many are more preoccupied with the
acquisition of supplies than truly spreading the gospel &
preaching My message & delivering the captives of the System.
But the attitude I want you to acquire is that these things
shouldn't have first place, as so simply wrapped up in Matthew
6:33.
Sometimes less is more; quite often, in fact. "Clothe her lightly."
Shed your weights. Rid yourself of the distractions & concentrate
on the essential! No matter what anybody else might say or think
about it!
You all have different tasks & purposes; you're not necessarily all
to function the same way or do the same thing. A heart does
different things than a lung, a liver does different things than a
kidney, etc.
It's okay to be different. If I'm telling you to be different, then it's
okay. I might tell others, "stop trying to be so different," but you
need something else. Don't be scared to be different. It's okay!

A real, true & deep relationship cannot come to pass without
total & utter trust. If you cannot trust Me totally and absolutely for
everything, to the extent that you're willing to lay yourself naked
into the palm of My hand, stripped of all the outer garments, free
from all fear, pride & pretense, it won't work. Without total trust it
won't work.
If you withhold, if you withdraw, and you keep those things back,
and hidden for yourself, in some dark little compartment of your
life, then progress and maturation and growing together is
stopped. It can't happen anymore.
You needed to realize something was missing, so that you can
work on it & strive toward that goal of greater union, greater
trust, and greater commitment again.
It's good to see where you've lacked , and it's good to know in
which direction you need to be heading: towards greater
honesty, greater trust - all necessary ingredients of love. It's all
part of humility. It's humbling for you to share what's going on
deep down inside of your heart. But that's good for you.
It's difficult. It's not easy. It's a fight. Pride fights it, and there are
going to be other factors, too, that are going to fight it and make
it more difficult. But you just cannot give up. It's something
worth fighting for!

As I have made clear from the beginning, nearly all of My
promises are conditional. Even My promises of Salvation are
conditional on people receiving it. My love is unconditional, but
whether you're going to be a recipient of that love depends on
your choices to receive it and say "yes" to Me. All things depend
on your choices...

380 __________________________________________________
Everybody has their perfect role & part to play, & it’s one of
the biggest tasks of the director or producers of a play, movie or
TV series, to find the perfect cast.
I chose each player, each actor for their perfect role, including
yours.
In order to make sure you play your part the best you can, live!
Enjoy it. Don't take it too seriously, but don't neglect to take it
serious enough, either. You don't have to have a clue about
everything that's going on. You just have to play your part the
best you know how. As far as you're concerned, there's only one
role & one part that matters most, & that's the one I've given you
to play.
Concentrate & focus on it with your whole heart! Meditate on it
so you will get the supernatural anointing for it, assistance from
the spirit world! Don't let less than ideal "set conditions" distract
you. It's rough sometimes, but everything has its price.
The play is multi-dimensional, taking place on all & various levels
& platforms at the same time! Although the Devil is in some ways
participating in the play, he's mainly in the coaching business,
since he's still operating from the spirit world. He's sort of in
charge of the cast who are playing the villains' parts. But he also
has his people who will try to make things not so easy for you to
play your part. He tries to make his people look better than Mine
& do a better job. He's trying to steal the show from Me since the
beginning. We're in serious competition. At least for him it's
serious, that is...
And since he seems to have a larger "fan crowd" than I do at
times, one could be tempted to think that he might actually stand
a chance to become the "real" star of the show... Well, we'll see.
Usually, once people get a look behind the scenes, & they start
getting a bit more of an idea of the whole thing & find out what's
really good & what isn't, what's real quality performance and
what isn't, they usually come over to My side after all. Often the
time in the Enemy camp only helps them to appreciate working
for Me, since working for Me may have its disadvantages, but
they're nothing compared to working for a dud like the Devil.
So, enjoy life! Enjoy acting out the part of your life, even with all
the little, seemingly insignificant side-scenes & side roles you're
having to play.
It doesn't really matter if you don't seem to have huge success &
a gigantic fan crowd right now; that it doesn't seem to make
sense what you're doing or you're not sure whether it's going to
do anyone any good ever. It doesn't matter if it seems that way,
because I'm telling you, it will.
Those who are willing to play those seemingly dumb little roles
are the greatest stars Up Here. They may seem a little boring to
those action freaks, but we're preparing for some real
sophisticated action here, not just some cheap, "made in China"
type of action...
We're working on a show that might not attract the fast-food
entertainment consumers, but one that will endure the tests of
time.
You were wondering about your role you're having to play right
now. Well, I just want to encourage you that I and many great
men of faith have been in the same boat. If you look at My life on
earth, you should be encouraged: it wasn't anything to be
envious of. Then there was St. Francis, & many of My apostles...
They all were just humble slaves for My work's & Word's sake.
None of them died of old age as rich millionaires in their fancy
villa somewhere...
So, if you're tempted to think your part's too rough, cheer up, you
ain't seen nuthin' yet when it comes to "rough." Be glad that I'm
not letting you get you away with the easy part you might
actually prefer to have. Now that would be boring! Be glad you
amount to nothing and nobody in this world, & that your life is a
struggle & a constant challenge, because it's the "somebodies"
in this world, who wind up being the nobodies in the next, and
the other way around.
I see you as the rich man, and them as the paupers. You are the
one who is truly blessed. Those others are just inheriting the fake
blessings of the Devil. They appear and fade into nothing as
soon as the show is over. They turn out to have been nothing but
a fake! They lose their value and shining appearances as soon as
the curtain falls: "Game over," "The End," & "welcome to the Real
World," the Spirit World! They're all going to find out that they
have been fools, fooled by the greatest fool of all, the great
impostor.
So, act out & play your part with the dignity of one who knows
that he's the heir of the heritage that lasts, the poverty that will
turn into everlasting riches when this game, this show of life on
earth is over!
Whether people are going to accept the medicine you offer them,
no matter how convinced of its effectiveness you may be, still
always remains another question. But you've got to sell & offer it
anyway, because you believe in it, and you want to help them;
you know it's good for them. That's being a "soul doctor" & a
missionary or a salesman for Me! You've got to do the right thing,
you've got to continue producing the good stuff, even if it seems
like nobody wants it. The need is there, and sooner or later
you're going to come upon your "clientele," your "crowd," your
niche in the market, the people who will have been just waiting
for what you've got to offer. This is what I call (having) a vision!
381 __________________________________________________
If I'll only be able to efficiently use you by strengthening &
awakening your spirit, I have to do and allow things in order to
get you to put less emphasis on the flesh. In order to truly
develop a hunger for the riches and the nourishment of the Spirit,
you have to choose to forego & fast carnal things.
The things of heaven are so much more intriguing, so much more
fascinating, so much more exciting and fun, and at the same time
so much more wholesome & edifying than the things of the
physical world. And yet, you usually turn to the physical for
pleasure, because of its single advantage over the spiritual: that
it's plainly visible to you.
The lust of the eyes is not of the Father because it distracts you
from the Spirit (1.Jn.2:16). I do want you to use your eyes, and I
do want you to enjoy the truly pleasurable things, but you need
to learn to see the spirit, namely the truly pleasurable in them!
I want you to find your joy & fulfillment in Me. If that were so
difficult or impossible or even unreasonable, why do you think I
would ask this of you? It's not only possible, but it's also
extremely good for you, and not only in a sense of "healthy," but
I'm constantly encouraging you to seek your pleasure in the
spiritual instead of the flesh because that's where the greatest
satisfaction & fulfillment lies. You can really discover much
greater pleasures by looking for the spiritual ingredient in things
than by merely referring to the carnal for fun & relaxation.
That's the difference between "youthful lusts," "the lust of the
flesh & the lust of the eyes," and the kind of heavenly lust that
the Law of Love promotes: the first only looks at the physical, the
latter is seasoned with the invisible, the eternal, the incorruptible.
Thus the former corrupts & ministers to the death & decay of the
body, while the latter ministers to the spirit, to eternal life, & is
thus simply a lot more wholesome & healthy & good for you, and,
trust Me, it's also a lot more fun & gratifying, even if you may not
be as skilled at it yet. It takes a little longer to learn the good
skills, & to become really good at the lasting arts... It's also not
always entirely easy to obtain opportunities to become skilled in
these, it takes fight and determination. You need to know what
you want & pursue it, instead of settling for the cheaper option.
The cheaper option is usually the Devil's substitute for the real
thing. In order to obtain the real thing you must pursue it with
determination and not allow yourself to be distracted or paid off
with the cheaper substitute. The real thing requires its price. It's
not the quick & easy "fast food" solution!
This, by the way, also applies to your physical diet! It's so quick
& easy to just prepare a quick fix snack, compared to the
laborious process of preparing a full-fledged meal, but in the
long run, your body will be able to tell and show the difference.
So, stay away from the quick fixes. Focus on the real thing, the
real, long-term goal, the spiritual! Don't starve your soul. Don't
deprive your spirit of the greatest kicks it was created to enjoy by
feeding it the cheap quick fix substitutes of the Enemy, his
alternatives to the real thing! If it's real things you want, you're
going to have to fight for them with determination! Don't settle
for the cheap imitation!
382 __________________________________________________
The "more sure word of prophecy" (2.Peter 1:19) is "more
sure," more certain than any words of man. They're My Words, &
you can build on them, like I've built all of creation on nothing
but My Words. I say it, and it comes to pass. I speak not like man.
When people say something, it won't always necessary come to
pass or be that way, but when I say something, you can bet on it!
That's why you do well to take heed to it, "as unto a light that
shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise
in your hearts." My sure word of prophecy is My daily light to you
that shines into the dark place of your lives in this world, a lamp
unto your feet, and you can trust in it & lean on it and follow it
with assurance. I will not lead you astray. If you follow My
counsel & you heed to it & pay attention to My Words, you will be
safe.
383 __________________________________________________
You will see in the end, there was really nothing to worry
about at all. I'm in full control, although I may temporarily not let
it appear that way, to test you, whether you're still going to trust
& believe.
If things are going too smoothly, I won't have you seeking Me as
much & as desperately. So, if things don’t look so rosy right
now, it is only for your best. It is a form of discipline which is
going to result in greater riches and blessings than physical
abundance, a token of My very special love for you.
384 __________________________________________________
The good works you do or things you accomplish don't bring
you closer to Me, contrary to what you might think. They make
you lean less on Me, My grace and My mercy, not more.
Only when you get to the point where you can truly look success
& failure in the eye in the very same way, & can say, "The Lord
hath given, the Lord hath taken a way, blessed be the name of the
Lord, and all the glory is His..." only then can I actually trust you
with great works, accomplishments & achievements.
I want you to know beyond any shadow of a doubt that I'm your
only hope, your only salvation, and that without Me you cannot
do anything. Once that's indisputably established, then I can
start working through you.
I need your heart; I need you, first of all! I need your total
surrender, your total submission, your total realization that it's
got to be Me and all Me doing it & working it in you and through
you, nothing else. No element of self whatsoever. Not even the
slightest hint of the danger that you might ever talk about the
things "you're" accomplishing. It's got to be totally clear that it's
Me doing it!
The proportion of the gifts & responsibilities you've been given
(along with the gifts) don't allow any room for misunderstanding
about the fact that it's Me doing it, and it's got to be obvious:
"No, it's not me doing it, it's only Him! It's only Jesus!"
Certain things need to be stored away first in order to have the
right quality, like wines & some types of cheese. Not everything
is immediately ready to be shared with the world. There is one
thing that's good to share immediately, that's the good, fresh,
Bread of Life, My life-giving and essential Word. You can always
share those right away, the sooner and the quicker the better.
But with some of these complimentary things it's better to wait a
while until they're best, also because you don't want to spoil the
people. Right now, everybody's pretty much spoiled, & they've
got too much of everything anyway. But if you wait a bit until
those things are going to be more appreciated, you'll be happier need or want Me half-heartedly. I've got to have you want & seek
for it, too. Me with all your hearts, nothing less will do.

In order to get a man out of Egypt, I've always had to stop the
flow of business as usual. Moses wouldn't have left for the
wilderness if he hadn't killed the Egyptian, if everything would
have continued on the way it had been...
I'm bringing you into a position where you are more willing to
make changes that you simply wouldn't undergo voluntarily, out
of your own initiative, if there was no need for them.

When the world rejoices and is drunk & merry, I'm having you
pass through the worst of your trials & battles, to show you that
you have no part in them, that you're different; you're going the
opposite direction than they. When they are joyful, I have caused
you to mourn, and even so you will be rejoicing when they shall
be mourning...
He that soweth sparingly shall also reap sparingly... You've got to
sow the seeds before you can reap the results. You've got to woo
some before you can win some.
The choice is yours, whether you will conquer the highlands or
the lowlands before you, the mountainous territories or the
plains, the woods or the wilderness, but it's expedient that you
do go forward & not become sidetracked & lured by your Enemy
to take a rest here & take a rest there, enjoy this little distraction
here & that one over there, be busy with a little affair here and
another there, while the Enemy goes before you to usurp the land
that you could be rightfully conquering for Me!
Be thankful that I'm not letting you continue as you have been!
Be thankful for My corrections & chastisements, for showing you
that something is wrong, things can't keep going the same way...

"He that saveth his life, the same shall lose it, but whoso
loseth his life for My sake, the same shall save it." There's no
way around it. Trying to preserve yourself, your life, trying to
"establish" it or to keep it established, trying to cling to it, will
just result in your losing it. The only way to gain & win is to let
go. The more you let go, the more you will gain.
You can't wait until everything is perfect. I can use you, imperfect
as you are. You just have to let Me. You just have to give Me a
chance!
391 __________________________________________________
Compromise is made easily for the sake of immediate
success. Watch out that you don't slip into compromise, that you
don't neglect your mission, which can easily happen in a ministry
that's recognized by the world.
"A man's gifts will make room for him" & take him before kings,
but you've got to let Me carry you there! You've got to let Me do
it! It's got to be My Spirit doing it, which will have come down
upon you for your obedience to My commandment to go into all
the world & preach the gospel to every creature!
Keep the pioneer spirit, the missionary spirit, the "stranger in
this world" spirit, the "gypsies of the Lord" spirit, the "we've just
got to keep moving" spirit! Don't allow yourself to settle down!
Get this ministry rolling in a way so that it will bear spiritual fruit,
or pull up your roots & head for wherever My Spirit will carry you.
392 __________________________________________________
Every day of your life is like a picture, which in itself is a
piece of the puzzle of the big picture of your life, which again is a
piece of My Big Picture of everything.
My pictures are living, spiritual pictures, and they always
represent the truth. Movies are like foreshadows & examples of
My spirit pictures.
One must distinguish carefully between the false light of Satan &
My true light. It's easy to be deceived by the "enlightenment" of
the evil one.
There will be nothing lost of the wisdom I've been trying to
convey to you during this life when everything will be safe &
restored in My Kingdom. But while you are still in this life you
have to fight to remember! You have to fight to remember My
Words, and not let their power slip through your hands by simply
forgetting what I've been telling you. That's why it's so important
to read My Word & remember, to remind yourself of what I'm
telling you, to keep them in your heart!
Often people don't remember the important things in their lives
because they didn't esteem them enough. They were too busy
with temporal affairs, such as making money, and their lives with
all the lessons involved, just pass them by. But I want you to take
the time to remember.
393 __________________________________________________
Life was meant to be enjoyed, & at the same time it was
meant to be suffered. Best of all is when you can "enjoy the
suffering," bear it with a grin, like Paul said, "rejoice in your
infirmities." You see, retrospectively, the suffering will always
seem not so bad, after all, it will always bring about the
"peaceable fruit of righteousness unto them which are exercised
thereby," "beauty for ashes," & joy that "cometh in the morning"
after one has sowed in tears. That's why those with great faith
can walk cheerfully through their sufferings; they know it will be
worth it all, and that the things they suffer in this temporal world
are not worthy to be compared with the glories which shall be
revealed in them.
Just take whatever comes as gracefully as you can, & keep the
fact in mind that it is - despite all it may seem like - for your best.
And that I will never leave you but am right by your side. Heaven
is right by your side to help you through your sufferings.
Even the "senseless" suffering that you see in the world will
make sense someday. In reality, there is no such thing as
senseless suffering. It all will make some sense someday. Even
the suffering that evil people inflict on others serves a purpose.
It's not as if I hadn't rather had some of those things not happen,
it's not that all these things are what I would have preferred to be,
but they are often simply necessary in order to bring about God's
great Plan, the ultimate fruit, the ultimate result, there can be
none better.
The Father knows exactly what He's doing, & even if some deem
Him cruel, He is the ultimate Love. He can only be understood - in
fraction - by faith, and few even make an effort, but what's
important is that you remember He knows what He's doing, "it is
good," even if it may not seem that way to you, and then it really
is only one step further to thanking & praising Him for it, for the
“bad,” even if you may not fully understand its purpose.
Like Job said to his wife: "Should we receive the good from His
hand, but not the bad?" (Job 2:10) He was a great man of faith.
There's still a lot for you to learn from the likes of Job.
There is a happy side to the life of faith, but also the serious side
of life. The great lesson is to take both with a grin, just the same,
with thankfulness. If you can learn to be thankful for both, the
good and the bad times, then you will indeed be a man of faith.
Don’t act like some kind of victim! Let a lot more praise &
cheerfulness come from your lips.
Discover the beauty in it all, even within the suffering. In this day
& age, when the Devil has gone to pretty much usurp all the best
he could grab on this planet, you're more likely to find the Father
and Me in that which he has discarded and despised, just as you

402 __________________________________________________
The humble, meek & lowly way is the best way, as far as I'm
concerned. The other options of potential compromise with the
System are always more dangerous. I prefer for you to be nobody
in this world over being somebody.
The problem is that you would like to be a successful
"somebody", instead of a lowly "nobody."
But your destiny is to leave these things in My hand. It’s most of
all My anointing for the need of the hour that makes people great.
And the need of the hour is not for another star.
My preferred way is the unconventional way. It's true that I anoint
some to be outstanding lights & tools in My hands to carry My
message to the world in recognized ways.
But the makers of the business aren't interested in a convicting
Christian message, least of all an anti-System & anti-American
message.
Don't seek success in the world, not for whatever seemingly
noble reason.
You say, "But they would listen then." But then what? Do you
think they'd go beyond that? To pray more, witness more?
Your sample of living is more important to Me than your
message, and to them also. It's a greater testimony. There are
many who preach similar messages you preach, but how many
people really live what they preach? How many of them are "for
real?"
That's the difference!
It's got to be clear that you're not seeking to establish or enhance
your reputation or career, but that your only incentive is to have
the world see that there IS an alternative, a different way of living,
and it's being practiced by a few thousand folks around the
world, and by the grace of God, you're one of them.
403 __________________________________________________
By letting your guard down & thus allowing bad spirits to
enter your midst, be it through disobedience to something I told
you, or through cussing, or any other bad habit or attitude,
you're weakening the spiritual defense of your whole Home,
letting down the walls of spiritual defense, lowering the standard
& giving the Enemy an excuse to enter in.
You bear responsibility for the spiritual standard, and if you
lower it & let it down, you're letting them down & allowing them
to become prey to the Enemy as well. It's as if you're deserting
them, giving in to the Enemy & letting them fend for themselves.
It's a matter of having all things in common, as opposed to the
System's idea of privacy.

Sometimes it takes simply getting to the point of recognizing

407 __________________________________________________
You cannot go by past experiences when I want to do a
miracle. A miracle is something apart from the norm. So, of
course you can't say, "Well, normally, this doesn't happen, so I
don't know if I have the faith for it."
Of course, it doesn't happen normally, otherwise it wouldn't be a
miracle, nothing special to note or look at. Except that for you,
My beloved brides, I would like that miracles become more of the
rule, rather than the exception.
Everything is already a miracle: every breath you take is a
wonder of My creation, a total gift of My love, grace &
benevolence to you. Every meal you eat is a token of My love &
supply to you, and if you just learn to see everything as a miracle
in the first place (instead of taking it all so dreadfully for granted),
then you'll also have more faith for other miracles.
Just because something has been going & working a certain way
for a certain amount of time should not mean that everybody
ought to take it for granted, yet that's exactly what's happening.
People are totally oblivious to the fact that there are people
starving on this planet right now, because for some reason(s),
the same miracles I'm doing in order to keep you alive aren't
happening for them. The main reason being that I would have
wanted those of the wealthier nations to "be the miracle" for
them and supply them with their surplus. But this just
demonstrates their terrible failure to live according to My ways &
instead they hoard & store, even destroy their riches rather than
sharing them with the poorer nations.
Some people have been made so paranoid by the Devil that there
isn't going to be enough room, space, food & water for everyone
on this planet, that they don't even grant the masses of poorer
people in "underdeveloped" countries the bare right & means to
survival. And so, instead of sharing their surplus goods with
them, they rather destroy them, burn them up, and prefer to keep
watching the poor starve. Just to make sure the world won't
become "overpopulated." That's the end of the road of disbelief,
& the epitome and consequence of lack of faith.
Selfishness comes from a lack of faith. If you have faith, you
have the assurance that somehow, in spite of all the Devil tries to
tell you, there will always be enough, I will supply for you, care
for you, and so you don't have to be scared of giving away &
sharing what you've got. You somehow know that I will take care
of both, you and them, no matter how many. Even through the
"lean years."
I allow the lean years to draw people back to Me, to cause
sinners to repent & make things right, as I caused the sons of
Israel to return to their brother Joseph in humility and
repentance.
Remember that the greatest need & hunger is for the spiritual
riches, and being wise - like Joseph - is storing up a lot of
spiritual wealth to share with the world during its leanest years it
will have ever seen. The greatest famine I want you to prepare for
is the spiritual famine.
Not all things are as they seem. If you go & dig beneath the
surface of what it seems like, you'll discover a different picture.
Of course there are those who are self-satisfied & think they are
rich, wanting nothing. But there are also many, who below that
surface are in reality confused & don't have a clue, & wonder
what this life is supposed to be all about. And you can tell them.
You have found out, haven't you?
Tell them about the meaning of life!
408 __________________________________________________
Isn't life so much more enjoyable living it for others, having a
vision to literally share your life & give it to others? Giving your
life away is what it's all about... just pouring it out...
Most of your worries really don't ever happen. It's just empty
bluffs of the Devil, only as real as you allow them to become in
your mind.

exclusively blessed in all aspects, and that I won't bless any It took Moses 40 years in the wilderness to learn not to care
about his own concerns anymore, to get to the point where he
couldn't care less about his own life anymore, whether he lived
or died, where all his former & youthful ambitions were forgotten,
and only one thing counted: the will of his Creator. That's when
he was ready to hear My voice & see My Holy Fire & experience
My presence, and to carry out his job for Me.
I'm trying to get you to learn these things a lot faster. I'm already
communicating with you about these things that there never was
the time & never were the means to communicate about with
Moses, certainly not in such great detail.
Time is short, as far as those are concerned who ought to have
been reached yesterday, as far as those are concerned who are
ripe & ready for the message today. There is always a certain
amount of time pressure involved in the task of getting in the
harvest - ask any farmer - and the timing is crucial with some
things. It takes a lot of work & action to respond to the
opportunity. My spiritual matters need to have that urgency for
you, they need to become as pressing & important to you as your
own physical needs.
Learn to see those needs, recognize those opportunities & then
obey instantly & go to work on them!
423 __________________________________________________
My will is not heard in the strong wind, nor in the fire, nor in
an earthquake, but only in that still small voice in your heart.
I use My gift of communicating with you to draw you each closer
to My heart, so that I can really take hold of the first place in each
of your hearts.
I am the Sculptor, and all you can really "give Me a hand in" is to
expose the side of you I need to work on any given day or
moment readily. When I say, "I'm going to have to chip away a
little bit of this area right now, over on this side," then you can
give Me some co-operation by readily agreeing & saying "Yes,
Sir! That side? Here it is! All Yours!"
You've got to be ready & receptive to receive My instructions of
what I want to emphasize on teaching you every day, every
moment, every hour. Sometimes I've got to work on your ability
to work together as a team in unity. Other times, I need to draw
you each closer to Me again, and to My heart, almost in
seclusion. Then maybe I want you to reach out to others, and
you've got to be in tune with Me to find out exactly where I want
you to go & who I want you to minister to.
Right now, you're still learning. I'm preparing you to be a full-
fledged pro in this modus operandi, where I'll be able to easily
direct you in any given direction.
You can see now that with Me nothing is impossible, that I can
get you ready for anything by My grace. Just having Me talk to
you is assurance enough that you need in order to know that I
can guide you safely through any darkness, any tough storm and
safely into the harbor of your destination.
Blessed are they who continue to follow Me regardless of
whether they understand or can see the point of what I'm doing
or not; regardless of whether they can clearly see the future
ahead or not... So, just keep following Me through any fog,
through any storm, through fire & water, through flood & through
snow…
It's forsaking all, all over again, & letting go. Letting go of all your
ambitions, selfish desires & motivations... anything that would
stop or hinder you from giving & surrendering all to Me.
424 __________________________________________________
You need to find out where your desire to have some "extra
money" comes from: is it perhaps to protect yourself from being
dependent on My mercy & supply alone? If I'm trying to teach
you to trust in Me, then I'm going to have to execute My program
on all different levels where this problem is apparent.
I have to weed out any lack of trust in Me that you might have,
just as much as any leftover desire to have your own flesh save
you.
425 __________________________________________________
In the world, but not of the world, that's what I need you to
be. It's hard to fight against all those worldly influences. Getting
Egypt out of Moses was precisely what took so long: the worldly
attitudes toward things, & their viewpoints...
If things would continue as they are, there wouldn't probably be
much hope for the Family to stay as revolutionary & dropped out
as they have been. Even Dad said that the reason he believed the
Family wasn't going to suffer the same fate as other movements
that fell asleep was that he didn't think there was enough time
left for it to happen.
Now, the Endtime events didn't happen as early as he would have
expected, and the radical spirit & fire of the Family has suffered a
blow from the attitude of "all things will continue as they were,"
and, of course, this is precisely the same attitude of churchy
Christians who are building their lives on the shifting sands of
this world.
With some people it's the security of the System, with others it's
the appeal of the System, its images, its apparent "niceness;"
with others it's the ties of the flesh that they cling to, that they
can't let go of, that they allow to come between them and the
point of total surrender to Me, a total break with the flesh & the
System, the reception of the truth & nothing but the whole truth,
ultimately resulting in total freedom (Jn.8:32). It's a brave step, of
really, having "nothing left to lose:" you don't cling to your "nice"
images of the System anymore, nor it's "security."
426 __________________________________________________
Sometimes you just have to wait until all the factors are in
place & the timing is right. Usually an answer is more
appreciated when it doesn't come right away. It gets people a bit
more desperate & makes them appreciate the answer all the
more when it comes, & makes them more thankful for it.
Waiting on Me is probably one of My biggest lessons for you.
You've had to wait for My supply almost until the last minute, in
order for you to see that it's a test: I'm testing you to see whether
you're going to freak out or make some move in the flesh to save
yourself prematurely... I don't like to rescue folks prematurely.
Parents sometimes make the mistake of giving their kids
something that they like or want too quickly, but it often spoils
them & the amount of appreciation & gratitude they could have
developed otherwise... You still tend to do that, even with grown-
ups. You've got something, and you want to share it right away.
But I like to wait & see whether they will really appreciate it.
Then there's the factor of rushing ahead in the flesh & not
waiting for Me, which amounts to screwing up big time, as Saul
did when he didn't wait for Samuel. These are all lessons related
to waiting on Me.
Also, the aspect of waiting on Me in the sense of serving Me,
looking for opportunities to do things for Me & others, to ask Me,
"what can I do for You?" is another aspect of waiting on Me.
Then there's the age aspect. You're learning that I have quite a
different perspective on life & all that goes with it: what I
consider young or old, compared to the way people look at these
issues. When people think their lives are practically over, that's
when I like to begin to really use some of them.
Often those who are young & strong in the flesh are really old
bottles in the spirit, because they're hung up in the old, carnal &
worldly ways of looking at things. They fall for the obvious: they
think that strong really equals strong, & young equals young,
worldly wisdom & knowledge equal gain... The old principle of
accumulation or acquisition, that one has to gain & acquire more
in order to grow & add to their stature. But the rules of the Spirit
are often the opposite: with Me, what is weak is strong, and I'm
teaching that gain and self-preservation are often loss of greater
things, when compared to the true, eternal gains & rewards of
forsaking all, laying down your life for your friends, & losing your
life, instead of trying to save it.
Moses was useless to Me when he was strong & powerful &
respected, but I was able to greatly use him when he thought of
himself as nothing. And the same applied to a row of others:
Sarah, bearing the promised fruit of her life in old age & way
beyond the state of expectancy; Saul, being highly exalted when
he was lowly in his own sight, etc.
Waiting on Me basically means to go contrary to the flow of the
world: they all run in one direction, trying to gain, gain, gain,
while you're slowly, but steadily going the opposite way: you give
of yourself. Thus apparently losing, but truly gaining in invisible
but eternal riches & strength & wisdom as you learn to trust not
in your own strength, nor that which you hear & feel & see, but in
Me.
I want to teach you to wait on Me and wait for Me about
everything. Don't go ahead with anything until you get My okay
for it, at least whenever and as long as you have any choice in
the matter. Even when something seems obviously good or even
the way I've been leading you previously. Wait for My okay.
I want everything done in decency & in order, having things
established & confirmed by the mouths of two or three
witnesses, etc.
The days are over when you were able to make decisions based
on something obviously seeming the right thing to do. We've got
to get away from going by what things "seem" like. Always
remember the verse, "There is a way that seemeth right unto a
man..."
The only way to find out whether things really are the way they
seem, or which way they really are, is to ask Me. Ask Me about it
before you do anything.
I'm trying to make you see how important it is that you
thoroughly check things through with Me.
427 __________________________________________________
When you don't feel capable, then I am usually capable of
doing it through you. Hasn't it always been like this, that I didn't
choose those who wanted or craved a certain position, but those
who didn't want it, didn't feel like they could do it? "Man's
extremity is God's opportunity." I love to blow your minds with
things you previously thought impossible.
There were many who said, "But I'm too young," "I'm of poor
speech," "Why me?" etc., but I was able to use them all, to their
own dumbfounded-ness & surprise, and, in the end, quite
successfully. It's usually those who think "Of course I can do it"
who turn out to be the failures...
428 __________________________________________________
Sometimes you've got to be reminded why you're fighting,
and against what; why this world needs to be delivered &
changed. If everything were alright the way it is, then what need
would there be for Me to come & "spoil" things for them?
I've got to purge My ranks from blindness, and I can only do so
by making you see just where the System is at; why I hate it.
You can only desire the beautiful truth of My Kingdom by seeing
& being confronted with the ugly reality of the System. You've got
to learn to yearn for & desire the way things ought to be by
finding out where it's not at, so that you can whole-heartedly
pray, "Thy Kingdom come; Thy will be done on earth as it is in
heaven!"
In other words, "free us from the ways of the world, deliver us
from the awful state this world is in & bring on Your heavenly
way, the way things are in Your heavenly Kingdom! Make it
happen that way down here, too, not the ugly, senseless,
monotonous, unjust, life- and love-less way this place is being
run and administrated right now! Come and finally rule the world
the way it should be done!"
But if My own children aren't even praying or longing for this; as
long as even they are satisfied with this world and the way things
are in it, what need is there for Me to return?
The greatest weapon the Devil ever used against My people was
the spirit of complacency. A truly revolutionary spirit will never
be satisfied with this world, it will always rebel against it; but
there are too few of them, and even they are often being
persuaded to temporary truces with the Enemy & his System.
They're becoming tired & weary of war. And that's usually when
the Enemy will also drop his friendly mask & launch his all-out,
open attack: "They're weak & tired now, & just about asleep! Now
let's attack'em!"
That's why I've cautioned you in My Word to watch & pray, to be
sober & vigilant. The Enemy, as a roaring lion walketh about
seeking whom he may devour, and he's closing in right now.
Cowardly as he is, he won't attack you while you're fully alert and
on guard. Only when he can get you to settle for a compromise,
some limbo of peaceful coexistence with him, and he can get you
off guard, "Oh, the System and the world aren't really all that
bad," then he has a chance.
And that's when I will allow him, too, to show you that you have
been deceived. It may not have looked so bad on the surface, but
only because you failed to look deeper. Look beneath the
surface: it's rotten and stinking within, full of dead men's bones,
and settling for compromise with it will mean danger of
becoming infested with the same disease that killed them: the
sleepiness disease of satisfaction & contentment with a peaceful
coexistence with the Enemy of your souls.
But I can't let that happen to you, My loves, as much as the
Enemy would love it! I've got to keep you awake, even if I have to
let you fight with hands & fists for your bare survival. I need you
to come running to Me, away from the Whore! Get out of her &
don't be infested by her ways! Declare war on her, be her doom &
destruction!
Her grip of trying to imprison you & chain you to her perpetually
is the result of your truce with her. She's saying, "You've had
your fun with me, boy, now come on & pay me!" She wants her
dues, & is threatening to fall on you & rend you in pieces if you
don't pay.
It'll probably do you some good to be confronted with the wolves'
teeth & foul breath for a while to remind you of why I'm at war
with the System, & you can think about if you really want peace
with them & be their slave, or whether you're ready to declare all-

"The Kingdom of Heaven is like unto a merchant man
seeking goodly pearls. And when he has found one pearl of a
great price, he went and sold all that he had and he bought it."
Life is meaningless for Me without My bride, and it is
meaningless for My bride without Me. Our love is like a "tractor
beam" that transcends everything: time and space, and connects
us through and in spite of anything, any circumstances or rules
of the physical world. The Devil is like the impresario who seeks
to keep My bride under his contract, in his service, in favor of her
worldly "career," but all that doesn't matter to My bride once she
has tasted of My love. All that has become worthless to her, and
all she will do is wait for Me to come back to her.
Thus is the love between Me and My bride; the greatest passion
there is or ever has been.
You must believe that the time of waiting is worth it all, you must
not despair, nor doubt whether this isn't all a great, big, mistake
perhaps, but believe that it's meant to be. The Comforter is there
to comfort you through this time of separation, loneliness and
suffering through this world, and She'll enable you to call &
beckon yet others of My lost brides to come unto Me. And
through My Holy Spirit, I am with you, right within you, both
reminding you of the fact that this world is never going to be
your home, never the place where you belong, but also filling you
with joyous anticipation of the glorious Kingdom to come, where
all things will be perfect, where we will be truly united, and all My
brides shall be as one, as well. No more disunity, nor more
separation, but perfect one-ness, total unity, total love.
You must not doubt, but continue to believe that the glories that
shall be revealed in you are not worthy to be compared to the
sufferings of this present time. It will all be more than worth it;
trust Me.
My love that can make all odds against which you have to
struggle disappear.
You've got to focus on the invisible force which can make the
right physical circumstances happen for you, or at least fill you
with the power to make it through the adverse circumstances.
You must not focus on the lack, not on the way things are - quite
obviously not the way they should be - but on Me, in the hopes
and the faith that I can change things and make them come to
pass in such a way that you long for and you know deep inside
they should be.
There's no use in blaming other parties for things not being the
way they should, for if all things are possible to him that
believeth, it's only your own fault if things aren't the way they
should in your life, because you have simply not allowed yourself
to be as close to Me as you could.
The only One Who can make love happen from nearly anything,
even as I formed Adam from the dust of the ground - is I. So, if
you put your love on Me and set you affections on Me and things
above, not things of this earth, then you'll be able to love others
with this great love as well, and it hardly even matters who it is...
You'll be willing to lay down your life for those you know are your
brethren, your fellow-brides in Me.
There is no other way to make love any deeper than that. It
cannot be a selfish love just between 2 humans. It couldn't be a
relationship that would exclude others. And yet that is what most
people seek. Their focus on the wrong kind of love, namely
merely human love & romance, is the very thing that stands in
their way of truly finding this great & true love, which will never
just end there, with 2 human beings and none other. It cannot
happen, because if you would limit and constrain such love to
only 2 persons, it would die, it would become a dead end street,
like a dead lake, instead of something alive, that keeps flowing
on to others, ready and willing to let them participate in it to bring
them love and life, also.
The answer lies in letting Me be your Soul-Mate, and by so doing,
I can almost transform any other person into a soul mate for you.
I can satisfy you & give you the right partner, create the right
partner for you, or create the right partner out of you, for
someone else, if you're willing, and if you put Me first. But if
you're still looking elsewhere for the fulfillment of your dreams, if
you're just "trying to be good" in order to please Me, so that I will
answer your prayers & finally give you the desire of your heart,
that's not really how it works; it will just be another
disappointment. Only if you truly delight yourself in Me, and
allow Me to become the love of your life, then I can also bring
about someone to fill the role of a physical manifestation of our
love.
True love always has got to be open to let others in as well,
otherwise it isn't really true love, and it will come to naught, it will
sadly trickle out to its earthly end.
That's another reason why this world is not your home, & why
you're not of this world, because so few are willing to live this
true love. Most people settle for the selfish version, and then
wonder why it cannot last. It can only last if I am the true, eternal
Center of your love, the focal point. You've got to realize that I'm
your Sun, and you've got to keep facing toward Me, you cannot
allow another to take on the role of the sun for you.
Many stare into the darkness of space, waiting for their bright &
shining star to appear, all the while neglecting & failing to make
Me the true Source of all they're looking for. Many are just trying
to use Me to get them what they want, but they don't truly turn to
Me to find the fulfillment of all their desires in Me.
That's why they don't take time to hear from Me, they don't make
their lives revolve around Me. They like to keep Me in their lives
as one of their satellites that's supposed to spin & revolve
around them & their desires, but that's not how it works. That's
why they stay empty, even if they find their hearts' desires.
If you want a happy and fulfilled life, one in which your dreams
come true to the most possible extent in this life, just make it
revolve around Me, instead of trying to merely use Me as a
means to your own ends. Often this happens very subtly, and it
requires a great deal of honesty with oneself to be able to expose
such false motives. That's where the self-deceit of many lies who
only use Me - their "religion" - instead of letting Me use them.
That's the big difference. It's either they first or Me first. And
many simply aren't ready for this step of total yieldedness, of
letting Me use them. For them, I still belong into that box where
they can keep Me, use Me to make their petitions known to Me,
and then tuck Me away again so they can peacefully pursue their
worship of the things they truly keep in first place, only to realize
that this is going to take them down the road of heart-breaking
experiences that eventually will teach them differently...
Blessed are they who have chosen Me to be their first Love.
431 __________________________________________________
You can only be a prophet who calls out others to "come out
from among them," if you have been "called out" yourself, first,
and have obeyed the call, and have exited from the whorish
System. It's like what I told My followers about the Pharisees:
what they tell you, this do, but don't do as they do, for they may
say it, but they do it not!
You can't really follow them, because there is nowhere to follow.
Which body do you want to follow: the dying corpse of the old
pharisaical church, or the vibrant, new & young body of My
called-out ones?
A ton of coal isn't worth half as much as an ounce of gold. You,
the Family, are My pearl of great price, a valued treasure of gold
that will go through the fire of purging but will not be burned and
consumed, only purified. It all depends on the works a man
builds on the Foundation: wood, hay, stubble, or precious
stones. The precious stones are the souls the Family is winning
to Me, and they will never burn, never perish.
It's so much like the relationship between the Pharisees and My
early followers: the Pharisees were well respected, while I and
My followers were highly controversial. Even though some of the
Pharisees respected Me and My apostles, none of them would
have had the courage to forsake all & become one of them.
The Pharisees never would have suspected the motley fishers,
tax collectors & other followers of Mine from lower strata of
society than themselves to become the ascending world religion.
I see the Family as the only true existing alternative to the Devil's
System.
So many seek acceptance, a certain amount of fame &
recognition in the world, they seek to adapt & blend in, but that's
the exact opposite of what I want. As far as I'm concerned, the
more dropped out, the more radical, the more different you are,
the better. There is supposed to be a difference between you and
them. Just like there's a recognizable & definite difference
between Me and the Devil.
Yet because the Devil has all the power in this world, he tempts &
bribes My children & called-out ones into a truce with him and
has them adapt to him and his people to where you can hardly
tell the difference between them and the rest of the world.
Seek not to be recognized, accepted, well esteemed among
men... all that is an abomination unto Me! Just be faithful to My
message, to My Word, & let nothing else distract you!
432 __________________________________________________
I want you to need & be dependent on the things the world
has to offer, so that you will communicate with them and share
with them what you've got, so that they will share with you of
what they've got...
You've got the largest amount of truth, but you don't have the
entire amount of truth. There are others whom I have blessed
with other revelations, other parts of the whole truth, and it's My
will for you to find those & avail yourselves of them. Even though
you're the best, you're not the exclusive holders & keepers of all
& the whole truth that I pour out upon mankind in this age.
Otherwise the attitude with which you'd approach others might
easily come across as condescending, as from above, but I want
you to approach them as from equal levels, a horizontal, eye-to-
eye approach.
I'm the One Who gives that which is from above, the vertical

each other from a horizontal level, in order to pass on to each

individual connection…the symbol of the cross.

that you're making an effort to uphold the standard.
440 __________________________________________________
Bad times that draw you closer to Me, make you realize you
can't do it without Me, make you appreciate Me and the fact that
I'm around. Life in the perfect environment, the Garden of Eden,
wasn't exciting enough in the long run to keep Adam & Eve from
the temptation of disobedience. As long as everything was so
easy & perfect, they didn't realize how badly they needed Me.
Life on earth, with all its ups and downs, was created not only as
a grand lesson & story to draw wisdom from for all eternity, but
also as a means to draw My children, My brides, closer to Me.
Under circumstances in which you simply need Me for your bare
survival, you also learn to appreciate Me more. You can't ignore
Me. The point is driven much closer to home of why I'm the most
important part of everything, why I deserve to be praised &
worshiped and loved.
For someone as apparently self-efficient as Satan, for example,
and his powerful fallen angels, that was a lot harder to see, just
as it is for all his self-efficient human followers. Who needs God
when they manage just fine on their own?
You, My sheep, My children, and My brides, chosen before the
foundations of the earth, were destined not to be self-sufficient &
independent, but to be dependent on Me. You couldn't make it in
this world without My guidance & My care, as opposed to the
goats & wolves & dogs, who do. So, your insufficiency actually
identifies you as one of Mine. "Blessed are the insufficient."
Blessed are they who can't make it on their own in this world,
because they learn that they need Me and they give Me honor &
praise for the things that the others all take for granted: their
lives, every breath they take & every bite they eat, every piece of
clothing they wear & a roof over their heads. Being dependent on
Me is actually the greatest blessing there is, although it may be
well disguised or not easily recognized as such by people who
deem independence as such a desirable virtue.
For most people it's desirable to be independent, to show that
they can make it on their own, that they manage just fine. They
succeed, and they don't need help. They can pat themselves on
the back & are just perfectly content with life as it is... Content,
but not really happy. Because self-efficiency can maybe render
contentment, but never happiness, that's one of the great
mysteries about it all. And thus you see all these contented, self-
efficient people around, almost radiating an air of happiness...
almost, but not quite there. Because real happiness is only found
in something else, something deeper, in a path that the self-
efficient and successful in this world barely ever discover, and
you can see it in their faces. There is something that poor little
old you have got that they can't quite fathom, can't put their
finger on, and that's your relationship of dependence on Me.
It's something very valuable, which you wouldn't want to lose,
and that's precisely why I've got to make sure that you stay in a
position of relative insufficiency, so that you realize and
remember constantly that you can't do anything without Me, you
can't make it. Self-sufficient people are self-satisfied, but never
happy.
You're not self-sufficient anymore, but you're happy. Your carnal
mind still tempts you to seek that "good old" self-sufficiency, that
affluence, the success you had during the hey-day of your
compromising era.
But with increasing affluence & ability to rely on the flesh, you
lose that dependence on Me, and thus, your connection with Me;
in other words: the source of your spiritual riches.
So, the constant choice & battle is: flesh or spirit? What riches
do you prefer: the spiritual, or the carnal & material? The lasting,
or the temporal? Happiness, or mere contentment & self-
satisfaction?
The facade of the successful looks deceivingly real and
authentic. Those expensive, plastic surgery smiles look very
convincing, and some do find glimpses of happiness; but usually
only because in My mercy I do allow them to experience
moments of real love in their lives. But happiness is something
only I can give, and you have to depend on Me for it, you cannot
work it up in your own flesh, your own efforts, and you have to
trust Me for the means by which I choose to bring it about in your
life: often, not so much by gaining and accumulating, but by
losing that which was unnecessary, the excess weight of false
perceptions, wrong attitudes, and, simply put, sin. "The sin,
which doeth so easily beset us..." (Heb.12:1). Just cast it aside &
continue looking unto Me. Sin is all that will rob you of your true
happiness, all that will try to distract you from Me, will tell you,
you don't really need Me, you can make it on your own, achieve it
by yourself, to make yourself happy.
Sin is giving in to the craving for the wrong type of input, the
type that increases and exalts the flesh and starves and neglects
your spirit, your spiritual need, that "God-shaped hole" I've
created for Myself, & which only I can fill. But all it will lead to is
disappointment and further realization of where it's not at, unless
you're willing to live with a deception and a lie, which is, of
course, what many people do. They think and tell themselves that
that self-sufficiency and self-glory and satisfaction derived from
achievements & accomplishments is authentic happiness & the
sum of what mortals could strive for in life...
441 __________________________________________________
There will remain mysteries, riddles and questions in life,
things that you must take by faith, sometimes because they're
part of your tests.
You have My promises that I do everything for your best, that I
choose that path that is best for you, and you shouldn't compare
with what another has that you don't. You simply have to keep
believing that I'm not being unfair. Those who get all the goodies
during their earthly lives will unquestionably not be rewarded to
the same extent in the next, as those who made the most out of
the little they had. The little, formerly unrecognized folks will be
the big stars in Heaven. The rewards in Heaven will not be
handed out unjustly.
My justice exceeds that of the world.
It's a test, sometimes, when you see all the evident "blessings"
of those who are reaping abundant benefits from their evil
doings... But "be not envious of evildoers" (Ps.37)!
442 __________________________________________________
Trials & battles with the System are to set you apart from
them, to draw you out from among them, to make you separate,
for I have chosen you out of the world; but the differences &
disputes you're having with your brothers, sisters & your mates
& the ones closest to you are to draw you to My bosom & to a
position where you see that you can only wholly lean on Me.
Happiness can only come from Me; not even from the close
union with your brethren or with a wife or mate. You may be
living with the most perfect people in the world, but with the
wrong attitude in your own heart, and without that closeness to
Me, you still won't be happy.
Personal attacks from the Enemy remind you that I in you am the
hope of glory. Without Me, there would be no hope, just as there
would be no light, and in order to go the right way, to keep sin
out of your life, you constantly have to be facing toward Me & not
turn your back on My light. Only in Me is your hope that you're
going to be walking the right path, a good path. Without Me
you're going to get lost & make a mess of things.
I'm trying to get you to focus on Me constantly & see Me in
everything.
If you take Me with you wherever you go and in whatever you do,
you'll be ready & prepared for whatever bad news or
circumstances less than perfect you may encounter. Nothing will
so easily defeat you & get you out of the victory then. But it's a
mindset you have to fight to acquire. To not just put Me on like
something you use when you feel like it. I want to "invade" &
occupy every territory of your being.
I want to get you to the point where you take it literally when I say
without Me you can do NOTHING.
If you realize that every breath you breathe is a gift from Me,
instead of taking it for granted, then you will also be grateful for
the other things I supply for you, instead of taking them for
granted or despising them.
You must anchor your spirit & soul firmly in Me in order for
nothing to shake you.

I've nearly always got something to say, the question is only
whether you're willing or able to hear it! My Spirit is like a

I'm not expecting you to give anything that you didn’t receive

Nobility of spirit has a price. No crown without a cross.
For some folks, the hardest part to bear about life is just being
themselves & accepting the way they are. As if I was being
terribly mean by creating them with this or that quirk or quality
that they detest so.
That’s one of the Devil's pre-eminent tactics of this day & age: by
raising the standard of what people are supposed to be like to a
totally unrealistic level via the media, he manages to make a lot
of people totally dissatisfied with themselves. They just loathe
their own imperfection.
You've got to disarm the Devil's lies with the sword of the truth!
The truth is that if I love you and trust you and bestow so much
care and attention on you, invest so much time in you, then how
can you dishonor My faith in you by having so little faith in
yourself? If you cannot have faith for yourself, then at least have
the faith in Me that I know what I'm doing. I knew what I was
doing by choosing you. So, quit doubting!
When I tell you that without Me you can do nothing, I'm also
saying, but look at Me, and look at it this way: with Me, you can
do anything! There's nothing you cannot do, and "you can do all
things, through Christ, which strengtheneth you" (Phil.4:13).
445 __________________________________________________
You were thinking of the loss of information in micro-
evolution, and remembered that you read in a news article that
fruits and vegetables are not as nutritious anymore as they used
to be. They may look better through all that genetic
"enhancement" & manipulation, they may in some cases even
taste better, but they actually aren't any better as far as nutritive
value and health factors are concerned. And you were wondering
how this coincides with people, how they actually seem to look
better on the surface, almost as if to prove evolution right, but
that they aren't any better when it comes to true and lasting
values. They've actually lost a lot of quality & "information" when
it comes to that.
Although the best is yet to come in the world to come, as far as
this momentary age is concerned, everything that has derived
from the originals has deteriorated somewhat in the copying
process. While some things seem to have gotten better on the
surface, technology has improved, progressed & developed, & so
have commodities, enabling people to live at much greater ease
than ever before, which again enables them to put much greater
emphasis on superficial things like their looks than ever before,
which may give a certain appearance of genuine improvement;
when it comes to a good, deep look beneath the surface, there is
actually no genuine improvement of life there. As people are
finding out: with all the devices they're inventing to save time,
yet they always seem to be running out of time & seem to have
less time than ever.
That's why it pays to see things the way I see. That crummy
looking root or vegetable your forefathers ate may have well
been a much greater source of vitamins, minerals, & thus health
and nutrients, than all that "too-good-to-be-true" almost plastic-
like food they sell nowadays. And their hard and rough life-style
may have rendered them greater genuine happiness than all of
today's technology & gimmicks can give you. And as far as looks
are concerned, I have made My view on this clear a long time ago
in 1.Sam. 16:7: "The LORD seeth not as man seeth; for man
looketh on the outward appearance, but the LORD looketh on the
heart."
A lot of people may think that they are better than their
forefathers, that they may have "evolved" & progressed, but an
objective, un-biased look and comparison might tell a different
story, in which many of those who have lived before would shake
their heads at the arrogance of today's population, to actually fall
for such a gross deception to think that they have improved,
when, according to lasting standards & values, it is rather plain
that man has deteriorated.
It's not that things have been perfect in the past, and in many
aspects, you have much greater means to spread the truth today,
and those who are truly enlightened have more truth at their
disposal than ever before, but a lot also depends on what you do
with it. Even among believers, you'll find more courage, nobility
and sense of honor, discipline and self-sacrifice among the great
heroes of faith from the past than even among My most ardent
believers and proclaimers of truth in this age.
About the only human quality that has truly evolved beyond
recognition & to unimaginable proportions is their pride. It has
inflated, just like their currency. When it comes down to it, their
entire system of values has just been blown up to look bigger,
but is so fragile; one little pin will put an end to it very rapidly.

A true leader, one who's really out for living successfully in unity
and community, manages to inspire others & encourage others
about their gifts, their role, their position, the place that I want
them to fill. A good leader & true shepherd makes his co-
followers feel needed.
Get excited with others, about whatever they happen to get
excited about.
How about an "anti-coolness campaign?" Get on fire for Me, and
you'll see, people will start sharing your excitement once you
show that you're making an effort to share theirs. "The real
believers get excited and praise the Lord!" Are you a real
believer? Here's another quality and trademark of a true believer:
not only do they receive and drink in constantly from Me, but
they also get excited about it. So, one way people will be able to
tell how much of a real believer you are is going to be by seeing
how excited you are, and by how much you praise Me!
Life is too beautiful, too important, too significant, too precious
to be wasting it in a state of mediocre "coolness" and lack of
emotion, thrills, joy and excitement about anything. Get some
heat into your life! Coolness is a manifestation of pride. It's the
refusal to show participation, to be willing to get excited with
someone else. It's a lack of love & shows once again how
humility equals love, and pride stands for the lack of it.
Love equals the ability to show you share their excitement,
instead of quenching it with the usual indifference & "coolness."
Today's section of the never-ending lesson of love is called
"sharing excitement." It's an important ingredient & way of
showing love. Share the excitement! Share the joy!
If someone doesn't share the joy & refuses to get excited, that's
no reason to let them drag you down to their level. Don't just
remain "cool" or indifferent, but get excited. Spread some fire!
466 __________________________________________________
You need to get onto the plain of loving people in spite of
their flaws.
Faith, hope & love go hand in hand. If you have love for people
and faith in them, then your hope for the future also increases,
because you learn to look past the circumstances and
conditions, past the way things are, and beyond their current
state, to a future where all things are the way they ought to be.
The trick is to accept them right now and the way they are with a
love that looks way past all their present imperfections, and sees
them as perfect, because I, the perfect One, created them the way
they are for a perfect reason.
Hope is connected with acceptance. If you learn to accept the
way things are, if you're willing to fully absorb reality the way I
made it for you, even if you don't think it's perfect, but trust that
if I made these circumstances for you, then they must serve a
perfect purpose, then you can also have more hope for a better
future. You may not think things are perfect right now, but
because of your faith in Me, you can hope that they're working
together for good toward a better future, a better outcome of
things in the future.
That includes accepting people - yourself, and anybody you can
think of. They all may have a looong list of NWOs, but they're
only going to ever be able to even begin making progress with
them if they're being loved.
In order to punch through to the ability to love people , you've
got to punch through to Me!
You've got to let My heart speak to your heart, in order for your
heart to be able to speak to theirs. Everything is a matter of the
heart.
It's gotta be the heart. Hope is a matter of the heart. Faith has got
to be a matter of the heart in order to become really real and spur
you on to works and deeds which prove that your faith is alive;
and love certainly also is a matter of the heart, not just a
"concept" you can grasp. You either love or you don't. And if you
don't, then now is as good a time to start as ever. Just turn on
the switch. You've just got to determine that you want it & then
do it.
467 __________________________________________________
In My book, you can score a lot of points by being honest
with people.
It's an art to be able to tell people their flaws in the right way, and
few possess it. So few are willing to follow in My footsteps in this
aspect.
Everybody wants to copy Me when it comes to doing the
obviously good things: to help and heal and feed people and tell
them nice, faith-building and encouraging stories. Some even
like to challenge others with the more daring parts of My
message. But to really confront people eye to eye with their sins
without self-righteous hypocrisy seems to be a tough one that
only few feel called to.
Being a shepherd or even simply a brother entails the love and
honesty not just to silently accept another's failure, which you
know is going to harm and impede their fruitfulness and
happiness for Me, but to courageously and lovingly confront
them about it.
When you choose not to tell people the truth you see about them,
you abandon them in some way and give up on them. You don't
believe or have hopes that telling them the truth would do any
good, and thus you label them as incorrigibles and hopeless
cases.
It's simply something that My followers are going to have to learn
to be more willing to deal with. You can't just ignore a sickness
or disease, nor would anyone ignore the fact that they might
need a bath desperately. But when it comes to spiritual health &
cleanliness, people are a lot more slack & tolerant of evil.
That's basically what it's all about: people's individual tolerance
level of evil. How willing are you to accept evil in your life? How
ready are you for compromise with evil? Some people's levels
are higher or lower than others'.
468 __________________________________________________
If you realize that correction is an important ingredient of
love, and confronting someone honestly about something you
see they're doing wrong is a real token of true love, then your
attitude to correction will change.
How much nicer is it to be told by a true friend what they think is
wrong with you than just the deafening silence of those who
don't want to confront you with it!
Forgiveness is the goal. Sometimes you've just got to be
generous & forgive someone, even if you haven't received an
opportunity to tell the other party how you see it. All you can do
is trust Me that I'll take care of it in My own, perfect way.
You just have to take people for what they are. They're each
different. None of them are the same, like pebbles: the variety is
incredible and endless. No 2 rocks are the same.
You look at them and enjoy them, absorb them, their shape, the
way they're made, and you just accept them the way they are,
even if some of them seem to have some rough edges that can
even hurt you, or some ugly side, maybe some slime or mud at
the bottom that needs to be washed off. They're still just another
pebble, like you are, and all together you form the river bed
through which My mighty river of life-giving waters can flow; My
conduits to bring life to the world.
Rivers are really good examples of My churches: some of them
are polluted, and you dare not drink their water or bathe in them.
Others are good and clean to enjoy at the places where they are
young, and as they flow on, they also become victims of
pollution. Then others have been known to be polluted in the
past, but have been cleansed since. There are tiny little rivers of
pure, fresh and clean water, which hardly anybody knows, and
there are mighty, raging rivers, which give life to many.
As you flow, you progress, and you change, and you will all wind
up in the same place: the sea, where you'll all become one in Me.
Then all differences will have been washed away and have
become irrelevant; they will have subsided & made room for total
unity, total and complete oneness, each drop of water basically
looking the same, and in their time climbing up again, in the rays
of the sun, to descend upon the earth again and be poured back
into the earth... into the river... the circle of life.

of definitions of what is "good" and "bad."
My people are a peculiar people, and they have always been. It's
also a safeguard to keep those out who go by their own
standards of goodness, and who would just like to use the
"group-feeling" or "group-consciousness" to pose as a
substitute for having to take up their own cross daily - the cross
of dealing with their own flaws & faults & obeying Me in spite of
them.
I have set you apart to develop into whatever you have the faith,
vision, courage and initiative to be.
You would prefer to have a sample to follow you could clearly
define as "good."
Well, if it were so obviously good, it might be a little too easy.
Even I shattered the rich young man's idol when he came to Me
and called Me "good sir." I said, "Why do you call Me good?"
because his standards of "good" were not the same as God's.
You would like to know who the good guys and the bad guys are.
Yet you're experiencing that you can sometimes benefit even
more from something that has come to you on behalf of the "bad
guys" than those who you know to be the good guys.
I'm not doing this to keep you confused, but to keep you open,
ready to forgive, ready to have faith for anyone. There is no one
too bad for Me, too bad to be saved, too bad to be forgiven, if
they come to Me. And it's more likely for the "bad" guys to turn to
Me in desperation than for those who have known Me and lived a
"good" life all their lives. This is the very purpose of the fall of
man. It didn't drive them further away from Me, but actually drew
them closer.
Through the very wrongness of the world, I bring about its utter
perfect-ness. Through the world's ways of sin, I bring about the
need for salvation, their need for Me, and thus a much closer
relationship between Me and you than I could have brought
about any other way.
That's the mystery of the cross - "agreeing not to demand
perfection of God's creatures," but dealing with and accepting
their imperfections, even as I am dealing with yours and accept
and love you unconditionally - the way you are.
This is a transforming love and attitude. You love, in spite of. You
don't dislike or hate because of, but you love in spite of. You
endure. Having to endure adversities that are being caused by
your brethren may be the harder part of what you'll have to
endure in life, but it's the part that most closely resembles My
cross. After all, wasn't it the ones whom I loved, who were Mine
to begin with, who rejected and crucified Me? - Who denied Me,
who betrayed Me?
So, if you want to follow in My footsteps, I'm expecting you to
reach the level of maturity and ability to forgive and love
unconditionally. You love them in spite of their rejection of you,
knowing by faith that they will change eventually, even as some
of My most ardent persecutors turned out to be some of My most
loyal and ardent promoters in the end.
Don't give up on them. Don't expect perfection or goodness that
is simply not there.
Stop the antagonism. Stop the tit for tat. Stop the repaying of evil
with evil. Stop the bad thoughts, the criticisms, the judgment.
Judge not that ye be not judged. Forgive, breathe forgiveness.
Nothing else will draw them to Me. Why are all men drawn unto
My being lifted up on the cross? Because the message of the
cross is forgiveness. Forgiveness in spite of anything. You can
never be too bad, only too "good."
You'll have to descend from your level to theirs. They may not
see it that way, they may reject you and dislike you, but you
determine to love them anyway. That's the way I loved; that's the
way the Father loves. That's the initiating kind of love, the
creating kind of love, the love that makes something out of
nothing, that brings everything where there was nothing. The
seed which falls onto a ground of dirt and there - by dying -
brings life.
Let them "kill" you, "crucify" you and reject you and love them
anyway, and thus become a savior of the world! Join Me, and
take up My cross upon you!

which the Devil has been trying to take away from Me, telling
people and brainwashing them with his definition of good and
bad, which the AC will take to the ultimate extreme: it will be him
labeling you as the "bad guys" that will trigger the greatest
persecution of all times and the greatest tribulation of all times,
consequently.
That's why you shouldn't be guilty of the same thing they're
doing - the labeling, the hate, the short-sightedness & self-
righteousness! Believe that I can change any life!
I haven't sent you to condemn the world, but to be saviors of the
world, just as the Father hadn't sent Me to condemn them, but to
save them (Jn.3:17)!
Be a savior, not a judge! Be like Me, not the accuser! Bring them
Heaven, instead of hell!
That's why the Father chose a position for Me on Earth in which I
would be of questionable reputation, despised by the rich and
pompous, of low degree and heritage, and why I have chosen
such a position for you, My Family. It is quite difficult to judge
others when you're at the bottom. Judging others is reserved for
those on top, who look down upon others.

start glowing and burn its way clear through your mental trash
can.
The Family's a funny thing. Funny things do happen. Especially if
it's God's thing, you can't stop it from happening. You mess with
it and you might find out you just stuck your finger right in the
middle of God's eye. Don't do it.
484 _________________________________________________
People don't know how important humility is. Folks forget it
sometimes. Pride and arrogance are the result of demonic power,
System input, and doctrines which feed your ego & make you see
things the world's way: "the survival of the fittest," etc.
Someone realizes they're quite "fit," and it dawns on them that
they actually deserve something better than those dumb people
surrounding them, their family, friends, etc. And often I do give
them some leeway and another chance, only for them to find out
that their new situation, their new circle of friends won't be
perfect enough, either. In fact, no one can hardly ever be perfect
enough for people with perfectionist tendencies and
expectations like that.
What they don't realize is that from My point of view, they're
actually not all that much smarter than the folks they look down
on, and not all that much better at all. In fact, from My angle, it
often turns out that such people thought they were smarter than
they really were & only outsmart themselves; that real wisdom,
and the real abilities which will get you through life successfully,
are found in a completely different direction.
I'm weakening your arm of the flesh, because I know that as long
as you can rely on it & marvel at it, you'll always find the majority
of others around you so much inferior by comparison. I can't
allow you to be more popular, because it would be another
confirmation of your abilities & your arm of the flesh & your own
wit, when I want you to lean on Me and make Me your strength,
because it's the only strength that will see you through the times
when your own wits won't be of any avail to you.
Those who rely on their own understanding and abilities will fail
inevitably. Only those who learn that there's a greater strength to
lean on than their own, stand a chance to make it through the
dark future ahead. People who trust in their own wisdom and
knowledge & strength as their light are following a false light. It's
that way - usually their own - that seemeth right to a man, but the
end of it is destruction. It's just not the real thing, not the long-
range light that you need in order to see further than to the end
of your own nose, the kind of light that truly will light your path
when the darkness comes. Your own batteries will run out, and
your light will be useless, and you'll wish you would have stuck
to those good old-fashioned oil lamps and made sure you have
lots of oil of the Spirit along in order to keep your path lit.
But that light of the Holy Spirit only comes through humility. It
doesn't come to those who think they're better than everybody
else. It comes to those who see the good qualities in others,
which they themselves don't possess: maybe they're more
patient, more forgiving, more understanding of others, or simply
more unselfish, more giving, more humble. If you can't see the
good qualities in others, then you're in pretty bad shape,
because love sees the good & possibilities in others, and if you
can't, it means that your eyes of love are nearly blind; your ability
to love is nearly nil, which means that you don't possess any of
what I call real strength. So you may consider yourself to be
strong and smart, but all I see is someone weak and foolish. Like
I told the church of Laodicea: "Thou sayest, I am rich, and
increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest
not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind,
and naked" (Rev.3:17); or Babylon the Whore: "She saith in her
heart, I sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall see no sorrow"
(Rev.18:7).
I'm leading you in a direction where you realize it's better to
become nothing in this world, a nobody - of no reputation, as I
was, if you want to achieve anything that counts in My Realm, at
all.
Nearly all the big-shot preachers and religious teachers who
seem to be so successful, are turning out to have clay feet, and
that they're actually invariably being manipulated by the Enemy's
ilk somehow. If I use someone in a great way, then it's in a bottle-
breaking way, one that wouldn't appeal to their own pride or
would feed their own egos.
I'm not allowing you to come across as "cool." It would be
detrimental to your humility factor. You're better off despised and
rejected! They hail, praise and fancy that which is young, strong,
where the flesh is still on the rise. "Cool" spells "young:" The
flesh is still strong and appealing, good looking, and doesn't
resemble any reminder of what is inevitably before them all:
death. As soon as you start bearing the first marks of
resemblance to that "taboo," you remind them of the unpleasant
factor they'd prefer to ignore: evil and sin, which has brought
death into the world.
Not being popular is the price you pay for learning to wield the
true spiritual weapons, the weapons of true strength, of lasting,
eternal strength, not their elusive strength of youth, which will
whither like the flower of the field. All it takes is a little time, and
that which they thought was their glorious, eternal light will start
to dim. And once they realize that, they start looking around for
the true light. Part of the purpose of life is exactly that: finding
out where to look for the true light, that doesn't fade. Finding out
where it ain't, namely not in you.
485 __________________________________________________
One mistake to make would be to think that you have arrived
where you should be, because you're merely getting started.
Sometimes, when things are looking okay, the Devil sends his
demons of compromise & settling for less than the best, that
principality specially in charge of Christians, and they make you
think you're already at your destination, when you barely even
got going.
That's why you've got to keep pressing in. Don't quit seeking
progress, ways to improve & how you can do more than
yesterday!
And don't let the lack of encouragement distract and discourage
you! You're here to please no one but Me, and once you do that, I
will also see to it that you're going to start pleasing and reaching
the right people.
Stretch your faith, your horizon, your vision, your outlook, your
spectrum, your methods & expand! Look into which directions
you can go which you haven't tried yet!
There are things for you to do here, and your job is to find them.
Your job is to make the best out of the situation I've given you
and put you in!
It takes faith, work and prayer, because the Devil will fight you
like mad, trying to stop you from making anything good, much
less the best out of it, but that's what the fight is all about! Kick
him back! Push him back! Force him to retreat!
Bring some light into the darkness. Let your light so shine before
men! - That they may see your good works... They may not
always consider them "good," but what counts is what I call
good, and if I call it good, then it IS.
They glorify the Father by beholding your good works. Just by
receiving what you're doing. By accepting it, by receiving it, by
liking what they see, because they're absorbing His light, like a
tree, and it is inevitably bound to bring forth fruit, some new leaf
or branch, and it will bring forth new life. If you are messengers
of God's light and life, then it will always bring forth some kind of
new life when you let your light shine before men!
486 __________________________________________________
"Life to the full," is the motto by which I like you to live. You
don't have to be satisfied with only half of the real thing. You've
got the Real Thing, Me, and the way to really live it to the full, is
to put My way of living into practice & find fun ways to give Me
and My message of love to others.
There will still be battles & problems, & some cross to bear, and
you need to combat your own inhibitions & pride & shyness, but
once you've done that, it can be a whole lot of fun.
487 __________________________________________________
When you come to the end of your wit, that’s usually the
point where you let Me do the talking. People will run to you for
your input, because of your connection with Me.
You would like to convey to them what you know, your wisdom,
the sum of what you've learned, the sum of your faith, including
all it's benefits, like the peace you gain from it, but that's not very
realistic.
You're never going to get people to see everything the way you
do from one moment to the other...
The smartest thing you can do is to come to Me for them. You've
got the connection & "hot wire" with Me. So, you can come to Me
for them & ask Me for some advice or counsel to pass on to
them. That takes faith, & often you won't even know whether
that's what they want, or whether they won't think you're crazy...
but that's still the best thing you can do for them.
They will have to decide whether they're going to believe it;
whether they'll believe that this was really Me talking to them
through you. Then they're going to have to decide whether
they're going to obey My counsel & act on it...
Persecution usually comes as a result of involvement with
people's lives, and if you want to "live godly in Christ Jesus,"
you're going to have to get involved with people's lives.
The System's way is "keep out of it, it's none of your business..."
But that's not My way. My way is to get involved, to take the risk.
(Mt.10:34,35)
You want to bring peace. But you have to realize that bringing
false peace, allowing people to exist in a peaceful coexistence
between good and evil & accepting and tolerating evil is one of
the major sources of problems in the world today, and a lack of
conviction and guts to declare war on the wrong things are
what's causing the world to be in such a mess - the lack of
fighters against evil.
Look to what extent I got involved with people's lives: I didn't
always do the "proper" thing! Some might say I stole away sons
from their families, and it didn't just stop there: after the day of
Pentecost, thousands of others also decided to live like that and
gave away all of their belongings to this strange new sect!
Talking about highly controversial, totally improper and perhaps
even downright atrocious behavior!
No wonder the disciples suffered persecution! But they did the
job I gave them to do, regardless of it! How ready are you to do

499 __________________________________________________
The need of each day differs from that of the next, and it's
wise of you to come before Me to lead and guide you step by
step, day by day.
I lead you gently. I'm not telling you bluntly, "This is it you should
do," or "that is it," but I teach you to look. "Look! Look ahead -
what do you see? What is there before you today? When you
look at the day ahead of you, what do you see? In what way does
My plan for you seem to be manifested today?" It's a little bit like
putting the pieces of a puzzle together, and each day is a small
puzzle that only presents another piece of the great picture
puzzle of your life, which again is only another piece of the Big
Picture of all of history.
The important thing is finding the right pieces & fitting them
together, and often it's not so much in what you do - although
sometimes it is - as in what you can learn. It's a slow progress,
because sometimes, instead of teaching you a new lesson, I have
to make sure you solidify your gains, I make sure that you've
really learned the lesson you've just been taught.
Many of the little things that are going on in your life are
connected, so let's try to put those pieces together.
"When you live with someone day in and day out, the mistakes,
shortcomings, problems and idiosyncrasies of that person
become very plain to you. But once you notice something, you
have a choice to let it bother you or to not let it bother you.
Praise Me and appreciate the person for all their wonderful
qualities that help to make your Home the winning team that it is.
You'll be much happier and will receive My blessings if you focus
on the positive, let your love cover the little irritations, and move
on! That's the only way a good, lasting, and happy marriage will
work‚ and the only way your Home will be good, fruitful, and
lasting is if you overlook the little problems with love." (3590:164)
That's the gist of the lesson I want you to consolidate. Again, the
simple solution is praise, but there's also the knowledge that you
have the choice, to either let it bother you, or you don't. That's
Satan exposed right there, because he makes you think you're a
"prisoner," a captive of those mistakes & flaws of others, that
you're going to have to deal with & be subjected to for the rest of
your life. But I'm saying, "Not really!" Because by simply making
the choice that you're not going to let it affect you or bother or
aggravate you, but instead choosing to look at and praise Me for
their positive qualities, you deny those negative qualities to have
power over you whatsoever, and it's almost as if they wouldn't
exist!
You can refuse to get aggravated. You can choose to continue to
be loving instead, choose to look at the good sides, choose not
to be bothered!
Choose not to be bothered by their flaws, their idiosyncrasies
their quirks! Refuse to look at them! Or, if you see them, use that
as something you pray for, and address personally with them, if I
lead you to do so, but don't focus on it, and don't let it bother
you! Don't let the faults stand between you and them! Choose
not to allow them to! That's one effective way in which you can
make headway in your usage of the weapon of the Law of Love,
and it's applicable in innumerable situations: choose not to be
aggravated by the driving style of others! Choose not to be
bothered by the way some people seem to act extra friendly only
in order to get something out of you! Choose to ignore their
tendencies to be more conservative than you in certain aspects,
or to be different than you in whatever aspects! Choose to accept
and love them the way they are and not to be annoyed by it!
You can take the wind out of the Devil's & the Selvegion's sails
like that, leaving them practically disarmed. Be prepared for a
counter attack, and that they might come up with some real
outstanding and aggravating traits in others now, which will only
make it even more obvious that it's just one of their tactics! It's
the way they work! They magnify & super-impose others'
weaknesses in your mind, make them look bigger than they
sometimes really are, when all the while you can choose whether
you'll allow them to affect you or not; which means, if you make
that choice, you won't even look at them, certainly not focus on
them & be so obsessed by that image that you hardly get along
with that person or let it affect your interaction with them.
It's amazing what power I have given you over your
circumstances, isn't it? You can choose to rise above anything;
not only your own weaknesses, but also those of others, simply
by not allowing them to affect you adversely. It's not the same as
simply ignoring them; it's a supernatural act, because it requires
a miracle of My love. Love's power is so prevalent, that anything
about any person which might be disliked by another is simply
"overshadowed" & made invisible, annihilated by it.
That's why heaven's so perfect, and everyone in heaven is
practically perfect: it's the love that makes them perfect. As
undeserving as anyone might be, they're being loved totally and
unconditionally, and that just deletes and erases anything you
would call imperfect.

By allowing carnal things, people, influences and impulses to
lead you, you're following them instead of Me, which means,
you're making them your leader, your boss, your god.
The result is that you wander through life just as clueless,
aimlessly, powerlessly and blindly as the rest of them, with
nothing to give to them, except a little bit of knowledge that's
tucked away in your head somewhere, but you don't put it to use.
It's as if you're pretending to be one among the slaves when I
have set you free, as if you pretend you're among the blind, when
I have enabled you to see, one among the deaf, the lame, the
poor, the disabled & invalid, when I have caused you to hear, to
walk - nay, to fly, and empowered you beyond limits.
You try to hide your light under a bushel, you bury your spiritual
riches, the gold of your faith and knowledge of My Word & truth
you possess. You're assimilating your surroundings & adapting
to them, merely reflecting the present atmosphere & temperature,
instead of influencing and affecting it with your own input.
If you never flip the switch & turn the light on, it's no wonder you
grope around, lost in the darkness, like the rest of them.
Do you want Me to tell you, "You could have made such a
difference!" when you come Here to be with Me? Do you want to
wind up weeping countless tears over what you could have done
but didn't? What are you so afraid of? Why not grab hold of the
power I've given you?
501 __________________________________________________
Just remember you don't have to do it yourself. It's I Who
want to do all these things through you. I want to use you, I want
you to be a vessel I can slip into and work through. I want to
possess you. If you allow this to happen, you'll see you won't
have to worry about anything else: you won't have to worry
about saying the right or the wrong things, you won't have to
worry about your supply... It's the modus operandi of the Early
Church, the reason why everything back then was happening on
a supernatural level on a larger scale than today. They didn't try
to do it themselves, because they didn't have a clue what to do or
how to do it.
Just as My Early Church brides never would have made it without
the power of the Holy Spirit to have such an impact on the world,
so there's no way on earth you're ever going to make it without
Her. That's why you've got to spend time with Me to get that
power & make sure you're connected.
Let Me do the worrying. It's My business to make sure you're fed.
If you take care of My sheep, and make sure they're fed, I'll take
care of the rest & make sure that you're fed!
502 __________________________________________________
I always have new counsel to give you, even when you don't
feel deserving, or in tune. It's one big lesson to not hitch your
faith on feelings! I'll still be there as close as ever, no matter how
undeserving you may feel, I still love you as unconditionally as
ever.
But it also works the other way around: no matter how euphoric
you may feel about one of Satan's shiny temptations, it will be a
letdown, just the same, & not lead you to happiness. The true
path still remains the true path, regardless of feelings which
might tell you otherwise.
Even if you don't feel victorious, you can still be a victor, more
than a conqueror, even though you don't feel like a conqueror at
all.
"Little is much if God is in it." If I'm in it, even if it's just a tiny
little ministry, a tiny little life, a tiny little family you've got, then
it's more in My eyes than some real big thing outwardly. What
determines the value of something is not how big it is, but how
real it is!
503 __________________________________________________
Love, freedom and happiness, all those things you want out
of life, only come to you by eliminating the negative things from
your life, which you can do by allowing the positive, namely Me,
to enter in fully. Just as you can only expect any garden or plot of
land to yield its fruit after you've purged it from the rocks, weeds
& brambles that might otherwise choke the tender sprouts of
your fruit.
It's work. It simply requires time and hard work. Only the
entrance of My Word giveth light. All the other things may give
you temporary comfort, diversion, or even a certain degree of
inspiration, but only the entrance of My Word in your hearts,
minds & lives brings the kind of light that is going to bring forth
the fruit of the changes & results you'd like in your life!
Other things can give you entertainment or even a few good
thoughts or feelings, but only My Word can act as an effective
tool and weapon to actually change your life for the better.
504 __________________________________________________
The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak; for to perform My
will, you find it not in you. You would like to do My will, but the
flesh pulls you the other way, the way of your own will. There are
so few, so few who are truly dedicated & committed to doing My
will. That's why the harvest is plenteous but the laborers are few,
and that's why the summer will be over and they will not be
saved...
That's why I'm having to allow the storms to come, to purge your
hearts and make you white. Woe unto them who think that all
things will continue as they were.
Who will be ready when the hour of temptation comes? Who will
stand? Who is wise to take heed? Who will not fall for the
apparent, for that which the eyes see; but who sees deeper,
below the surface, and can discern what's really going on?

The Family is like a garden, similar to the garden of Eden,
and not without the presence of the snake, either, and the only
way that garden is going to prosper is by maintaining it, applying
elbow grease to it, tending it and keeping away from that snake!
You see, it wasn't just the appeal of knowledge of good and evil
that did the trick with Eve. What went beforehand was a certain
dissatisfaction with what she had already, otherwise she wouldn't
have been looking for something new. And that's what's
happening a million-fold all over the world even today. The old
serpent whispers thoughts of discontentment into people's
minds & so they're ever looking for something else than what
they've got, never satisfied with what's right at hand, but
constantly looking for new sources of satisfaction.
Now, on one hand, if they're My sheep, this can be because
they're looking for Me, but many times - once they've been
confronted with the choice of accepting Me and either found or
rejected Me, it's simply an endless yearning for more
satisfaction.
The most important changes take place in the heart, and
changing your circumstances won't do the trick if there hasn't
been an inward change happening.
Nobody has the vision or the burden or the heart to clean up this
place, that's why I'm finally going to have to do it. The Devil really 506 __________________________________________________
hates the Earth. He knows it's going to be My heavenly HQ for
eternity, and so he does his best to destroy it. But it will serve as
a perfect example of the Father's restoring power: just as He
completely restored many broken lives and broken bodies, so
will He also restore this broken planet and make it better than
ever.
We're not about to toss anything away too quickly! It's amazing
what you can make out of things - and people - if you only give
them a second chance, or a third...
Pray for the Family and do all you can to help Me improve the
Family, but there's no use in criticizing or getting down over the
fact how far from perfect the Family is. In fact, I'm going to use
the same restoration power We're going to use with the earth,
and which we've applied to so many lives, broken hearts, souls &
bodies, also with the Family. How many times have you been in a
situation that you thought was hopeless and I saved it & turned it
into something good after all? Well, that's what I'm going to do
with the Family, too! You must not give up on them prematurely!
It's the same with this planet. Some people would rather give up
on it already. They say, "Let's get outta here! Take me to Mars or
someplace, just outta here!" They're going to get a big surprise
when they'll see what I'm still going to do with this place, and
how wonderful and glorious it's going to be! They're going to feel
quite foolish and ridiculous then for having given up on this ol'
planet a bit too soon. First of all, it's not nearly as old as they've
all been fooled into believing it is. It seems to be one of the
Devil's favorite tactics, making everything older, telling
everybody how old they are, making them feel old, useless,
outdated, etc.
When you don't have any idea how young you are! Compared to
how old you're going to be some day!
The earth is practically still a baby. But of course, the Devil has
never shied back from killing babies, either! But I'm going to
save this baby, just as the Father saved Me from Herod's hand.
And I'm going to save you, too, and this whole Family! It may
look pretty old and tired right now, but you're going to see! This
life is just "training with weights," remember that! Right now
you're all training with weights, but someday soon you're going
to fly!
It's a promise I'm going to keep, as unbelievable as it may sound
to unbelieving ears! That age-old dream... I'm going to fulfill it!
I'm going to make it come to pass! It's going to be part of My
great "Restoration Act Part 1," at the Rapture, which will herald
the Millennium!
If you could see how important your future is, you could see why
the Devil attacks you all like crazy! Of course, he doesn't want
that to happen, and he doesn't want you to believe it. So, thanks
for listening to Me, letting Me straighten you out & renew your
faith & vision! Thanks for listening to Me instead of him!
Right now, the great lesson is called, "Where it ain't at!" "The
way which seemeth right unto a man and the end thereof are the
ways of death." By showing you which is the wrong way, by
letting you experience it first hand, I'm also showing you the
right way, which way you need to go to overcome, to rise above,
to succeed: you just need to turn around, and instead of
following all those other misleading voices, you just come to Me
and follow Mine!
Listening to Me is the one sure way to make certain you're on the
right track & that everything's going to be alright! I'm right here
with you, and I'm not letting You go or giving up on you, and you
can look forward to a great and glorious restoration! In the
meantime, you can claim the keys of rejuvenation to give you
little tastes of it. It's like oxygen: it may be invisible and nearly
unnoticeable, but it has a great rejuvenating effect!
Don't worry if you feel rejected & like you don't fit in! You're in
goood company! None of My true followers was ever a pop star!
Fame and popularity is something for those who seek the big
time in this life! My followers know that there's something better,
much better, coming up!
And you don't have to wait for the future; you can enjoy Me right
now. Anytime, any place, anyhow.

(1 Sam.15:22). You seek to present to Me great sacrifices of
fat and visible accomplishments, accompanied by the applause
and praise of men, but that is not what counts with Me. What
counts with Me and is much more important to Me than all that is
how much you obey what I tell you.
It takes overcoming everything the Devil will use to throw in your
way in order to stop you from doing it, any kind of temptation
and distraction, inkling and craving... It takes strong faith, vision
and discipline to keep your focus on the thing I have commanded
or asked you to do and to see it through till the end.
Discipline is the opposite of spoiling yourself, of making things
as easy for you as possible and not withholding any little
pleasure from yourself that you might be craving. Discipline
means also saying "no" every once in a while to a craving, an
urge or a temptation. If you're applying a lower standard to
yourself, then you're guilty of the exact thing C. S. Lewis
describes in "Mere Christianity:" "I am trying to call attention to
the fact that this year, or this month, or, more likely, this very
day, we have failed to practice ourselves the kind of behavior we
expect from other people."
It's a "double standard." It really is hypocrisy. It's a very common
form of hypocrisy, but it's hypocrisy nonetheless. What is
hypocrisy? It's a lack of honesty, a pretense. You pretend to be
more righteous or better than you really are by demanding of
others to adhere to the rules of a certain standard you apply for
them, while basically ignoring it yourself. It's the same kind of
tyranny I accused to Pharisees & Jewish religious authorities of,
and which I exposed them for, which was what made them so
mad at Me and hate Me the way they did.
The lack of practicing the fairness of applying the same standard
to oneself that you would hold others to is actually one of the
basic problems in society. It happens everywhere, and is what
undermines trust in families, in companies, in churches, in all
sorts of communities. The law enforcement agencies constantly
make others pay for sins and crimes they are often guilty of
themselves. Oh, and nobody is as guilty of it as modern western
governments, who accuse other, much weaker parties of crimes
like terrorism, all sorts of injustices and aggressions, when
they're actually the worst perpetrators of such things
themselves.

Sometimes there are various reasons why I do or allow
things, and the benefit and well-being of My brides who love Me

factors.
You're important to Me!
I can use you, and you can use Me. What's lacking is the trust
you have in My willingness to let you use Me. But in Me you're
dealing with a Partner Who never tires of giving, and One Who
simply does not believe in withholding. There is nothing I
wouldn't give to you, and all you receive from Me is really only
limited by your capacity to receive and to drink in what I've got to
give. I want to use you more and more; just as I want you to learn
to use Me more and more...

You can't always drift with the stream; sometimes you've got
to make certain decisions and plans, in order to really get to the
places and intersections where I want and need you in order to
fully fulfill your destiny and purpose.
You're going to have to talk and counsel and plan about which
direction you're going to take.
The Family is a living thing, and as in all living organisms, there
are good things that work toward the furtherance and
enhancement and procreation of life, and there are negative
things, which also have their time and purpose, such as bacteria
& other parasites, which are present a-plenty in any body, and
just show that there is a war to be fought.
Those bacteria are not your actual enemy, but help to keep and
make your body strong for the actual fight.
517 __________________________________________________
"Man-pleasing," is a certain behavior one takes on in order to
please a certain group of people, some sort of collective "big
brother" image, which the Devil uses to make certain personality
types toe the line and behave, a "dictatorship of the people."
Some image & projection is being created of what the herd is
supposed to follow as the consensus and collective "will of the
people" (the Devil camouflages his dictatorship as "what
everybody wants").
What's born of this, is for some a desire to be popular, for others
a need to be accepted or simply not to stick out. Thus, instead of
sticking to what's truly right, you try to please "everybody" & live
up to "their" expectations... It's all a trick of the Devil to get you
to chase some kind of ghost instead of dealing with those who
are closest to you… the mystery behind the phenomenon that
people always tend to treat those worst who are closest to them.
The people you're trying to please are often only an image that
he and his demonic voices are making you believe in. Instead,
start dealing with, caring for and interacting with the real
individuals right there by your side, in your house, on your
street, in your own village, town, etc.
Because many people are so influenced by this scheme, they're
often not really "themselves," either, and you first have to get
through to their true selves. Don't judge anybody unless you've
had a chance to hear them out.
The Devil doesn't want to give anybody a chance. He'd like to
prosecute them, sentence them, judge and execute them all. His
input on anyone is about as bleak as it can get. Come to Me for
input on what's there to love about each individual; their good
sides & untapped potential, "the good and possibilities that
others cannot see."
Don't listen to and fall for the Devil's imaginary "cloud of
witnesses," which often really only consists of his cloud of
deceivers, made up of billions of lies! Pierce right through it with
the sword of the light of My Word, and discern what's true and
false! Come to Me for the truth.

be on guard, and to be a sample of unselfishness.
Of course, there will be ten thousand "reasonable" voices telling
you, "but that's humanly impossible! Nobody can be unselfish all
the time!" So what, if they call it impossible? They also say it's
impossible for Me to have made the world in 6 days. But you
know better!
If it's Me telling you to go slow, to take it easy, etc., then you'll
know that it's because I know that that's what you need right
now. But if it's the Devil or any of his spiritual or human
emissaries telling you this, it can be that he's tempting you to do
the exact opposite of what I would like you to do. It's exactly the
same tactic he was using with Me: he knew he wasn't going to
even get close to tempting Me with a downright lie or untruth, so
he cleverly used the Word to tempt Me. He used the truth in such
a way, that it would have resulted in disobedience to God, had I
followed through on his advice. And he's using that tactic with a
lot of Christians these days. That's why it's so important to have
the Spirit, rather than merely the letter of the law, because the
Enemy can use the letter of the law to cause you to do the exact
opposite of what the Spirit would lead you to.
The thing that really counts right now, today, and that's relevant
to your usefulness for Me today, is how yielded & dedicated you
are to My Spirit today! I will reward you for your faithfulness in
the past, but what about your faithfulness today? I need you
today more than I needed you yesterday! As the days are getting
darker, and the final battle comes closer, I need all the help I can
get!
That's why it's so important to Me that you stay faithful to Me
each day, each moment. There cannot be an unguarded moment.
Remember Amundsen's "Don't rescue me prematurely!" Don't let
the Devil relieve you prematurely of your duties to Me, before I
have dismissed you! Don't let him cheat you out of the greatest
blessings & rewards by listening to his "it's time to relax now,"
when it really isn't!
I'll let you know when it's time to relax & time for a break, and
you'll be able to tell the difference between My kind of peace I
give you, and the false, premature peace the Devil is trying to
bring right in a crucial and decisive moment of battle. He's so
corrupt, wicked and deceitful that he won't even hesitate to call
for a truce right in the middle & thick of the battle, namely, when
he knows he's about to lose. The stupid thing to do then would
be to listen to him. The right thing to do is to say, "Truce? No
way, dude! You must be dreaming! Here, take that!" And you sock
him another mortal blow.
Otherwise, he'll always be like those evil characters in the
movies, who wince for mercy or pretend to be your friend when
they're about to be defeated, but then try to stab you in the back
at the last moment.
Everything in life bears a lesson, just tune in & learn it!
Your lesson for today: stay faithful to Me at every instant, every
moment, & don't let the Enemy call the shots or "time for a
break!" It's not his right to do so, since I'm the one calling the
shots, & you'd better stay in tune with Me & make sure they're
My shots & My instructions!
527 __________________________________________________
Responsibility is like a title, a uniform which states your
rank: "responsible." You try to hide it, put on some more casual
clothes & lend out the uniform to others, so that maybe you can
get around having to bear the responsibility.
But you simply can't shake it.
Life is more than a stage play, and more serious than taking on a
role in movie.
Your actions carry more weight than they would in a movie or
stage play. But in today's Hollywood-framed mindset of whole
cultures & generations of people, that has become nearly a
foreign concept.
Of course, there is also the other extreme, of taking life, or
yourself, your own part, too seriously. The trick is to find the
golden middle, and not to kid yourself with the illusion that
"nothing really matters," nor to torture yourself with bearing the
weight of it all yourself, to look at Me for help, to let Me help you
bear your burden & fulfill your task. You can do it with My help.
I simply want folks to avail themselves of My help, but boy, are
they ever stubborn and dull to get that point! All I want to do is
help! But the Devil comes running, as if the place and everybody
in it belonged to him, frantically waving his arms & yelling, "No,
no, thank You, but we don't need Your help around here; we've
got everything under control." And people believe it. They think
they can do without Me.
So, accept the responsibility. Everyone of My children & brides is
responsible to help others and each other to make the right
choices, that's what being a "brother's keeper" is all about.
When you neglect that responsibility, disaster strikes. It's not as
if the job, the responsibility were too great, too heavy, because
you can ask Me for help, and that's part of your responsibility.
You don't have to do it by yourself. The one reasonable & correct
thing to do is to come to Me for help. Let's do it together! Let's
tackle the tasks of life together! Find out how wonderfully easy
even the most seemingly difficult or even impossible tasks can
be, and then you can get others on fire, too, about how My power
actually works.
Use it so that you can get on fire enough yourself in order to
pass it on & "sell" it to others. View yourself as a vendor, a
"provider" for the greatest Power Company there is: "Heaven's
Power Inc." - The Juice that never runs dry! Endless supply! All
for free!
All you've got to do is get on fire & sell it!
528 __________________________________________________
Make love your business. Make My affairs your business.
Remember that I'm the Boss & check in with Me whether you're
doing your job for Me according to My will and liking.
Continue to take time to put Me first! Continue to relax in Me!
Remember to go about your business for Me in a relaxed & calm
& trusting spirit!
Your responsibility is to call on Me as Joe the machinist should
have when something went wrong, not try to fix it yourself. Relax
in the knowledge that you can call on the Boss anytime you need
help; you don't have to try to show off how well you can do it
yourself.
If you give Me the responsibility, you can also give Me the credit
& the glory. Make sure you do all things "to the glory of God"
(1.Cor.10:31). Then you don't have to worry about the outcome &
you don't have to take it all into your own hands or take the
burden of the responsibility for the outcome on yourself. Just
relax, knowing that "He Who has begun the good work in you will
also complete it" (Phil.1:6).
529 __________________________________________________
Go into every day as if it were a big day.
Go in "giving-it-all-you're got" gear. Make it a habit to invest the
same kind of energy & dedication into every day. It will bring a
better equilibrium, a better balance in your life, treating your days
with less partiality. If you treat every day the same & consider
you're always on stage - My stage, & in My spotlight, you'll
eventually render a better performance of your life.
If you live each day as unto Me, then you'll know & can rest
assured that I'll carry the responsibility for the outcome & you
can float on My Spirit instead of having to crawl through your
tasks in the flesh.
If you always seek to accomplish the most you can - however,
not in the energy of the flesh, but by availing yourself of My
power - you'll up your productivity & pace in general.
The things you do for Me have everlasting rewards. Show Me that
you esteem My rewards more valuable than the lucre of the
world.
Seek not to be able to be proud of your own accomplishments &
carnal achievements, leaving your mark among mortals, but
make Me proud of you by investing all you've got into eternal
rewards. Please Me by showing your faith in Me, & investing into
My Realm accordingly. Make My plans more important to you
than your own.
Putting just as much energy & effort into the seemingly less
important people - the "newsboys," that you would, toward the
"members of parliament." If you treat both the same, you'll also
learn to apply the same unselfish love with your "parliament"
that you do with the lowly "newsboys," your brethren or people
you're ministering to, and this will help you to win them over just
like you win & draw those other souls to Me. It will be Me & My
power working in you in both cases.
You may not always know who is My special & particular
"newsboy" in any particular situation. Like this you'll have to
bestow the same kind & amount of love on each of them.
"The wisdom that is from above is... without partiality" (Ja.3:17).
Remember to be "winsome" with each one of them. Make an
effort to draw each person you encounter closer to Me. Be a true
conduit of My love! Be a part of Me! Be Me! - To them.
530 __________________________________________________
(In dealing with people who are My sheep), always use your
gift of discernment for the purpose of love, for the purpose of
helping them to see more clearly or get further along their road,
to expand and open up their and your horizon, never to limit.
It's supposed to be a connection of hearts, souls & spirits, not a
separation! It's not about categorizing, which is creating lines
between people, but about connecting, bringing together, not
separating and dividing.
531 __________________________________________________
It's part of life to be confronted with your weaknesses
through relationships in a more intense way than you ever could
on your own.
When it's time to confront, it's time to confront, and you can't just
"let it be" in that case & let it drag on & become a monster or
mountain. Confront it while it's still okay and sizeable and you
can deal with it without having to cause any major pain! Confront
it while it's little, and overcome your fears to confront!
532 __________________________________________________
I'm not expecting you to do more than you can deliver. All I'm
saying is, "Try this!" "This is the way We do things in heaven,
and it's the ideal way I've ordained for My children to do things in
general, and if you try it, it might bring about some major
improvements in your life." I know you're imperfect, but that
doesn't stop Me from offering you some of My perfection.
533 __________________________________________________
You can really only help others on a long-term basis if you
allow Me to help you first, and not just help others in order to
distract yourself from your own problem.
One of the greatest decisions to make is whether one will accept
the truth when they hear it or not. "Today if ye will hear His voice,
harden not your hearts" (Heb.3:15). Everything goes on from
there, & future events are determined by that moment when you
either hardened your heart or chose to open it and receive My
truth, even if it initially may be hard to swallow.
Even if it hurts, you must trust that it's a good, godly hurt, the
"lashes of love." Even if what I'm telling you hurts you deep
inside, you must trust that I say these things out of love. It's a
matter of being a new bottle or an old. The New Wine is certainly
tougher to take... It's radical.
"Radical" comes from "roots," and there are certain things you
will just have to allow Me to uproot if you really want to be free.
How much do you want freedom from pride? How much pain is it
worth to you?
It's not your works which determine your inner worth, value or
goodness, your purity of heart. Someone can all be full of good
works but for the wrong inner motivations, like pride, ambition,
self-righteousness.
Only in heaven can it be determined how "good" and "righteous"
those works really were, and what the true motivations were, and
somebody who accomplished a lot less might still outshine
someone who accomplished great and glorious feats.
There are other values by which I determine who is truer, who is
greater, who has greater weight. There have been mighty kings
who were weighed in the balances and found wanting. (Eph.
2:8,9).
534 __________________________________________________
What makes you critical of others is self-righteousness.
Everyone sees the world from their point of view, sees the way
they think things ought to be and criticizes the way things are
and are being handled. The real challenge is to do it better
without becoming self-righteous about it!
Sometimes, in order to really learn, you must forget all you think
you know. If you stay in tune with My Spirit, I will show you the
way things really are & won't let you fall into one of the many
delusions that are out there.
As long as you're eager to learn ever more from Me, chances are
that you're really going to learn something. It's only when you
think you already know it all that you stagnate, get stuck & lose
it. Be open for the new, My radical and revolutionary new input,
My surprises!
535 __________________________________________________
Only speak when spoken through by Me.
Sometimes you try so hard to say anything that appeals to their
level, something they can relate to. You're going to the nth
degree in order to show that you're able to relate to them, in your
effort to "become one" with them, like a chameleon, trying to
blend in.
You've got to make a stronger effort to remain yourself in
situations like that.
Of course, you don't want to come across as "overly preachy,"
but the truth is still the truth, and the truth is still your job. Even
at the risk of making them feel uncomfortable. It's a whole lot
better to make them feel uncomfortable now for a short while by
confronting them with the truth than allowing them to drift
completely away from My light into oblivion to the point where
one day they're really going to feel bad about all the golden
opportunities they missed out on in their lives that they could
have had if they had stayed on the path of spiritual growth...
You can't really say that you've been doing your job if you don't
even make the slightest effort to draw them closer to Me in any
way.
You've got to keep wielding that sword, you've got to keep
fighting for Me, there's no standing still.
Remember your responsibility of standing up for your
convictions, your responsibility of being a voice for My truth, in
whatever situation.
"If you can't say something nice, don't say nuthin' at all." Better a
silent testimony of not being part of all that superficiality by
keeping your mouth shut, than speaking without being spoken
through.
536 __________________________________________________
You're very "people-sensitive;" sensitive to what they might
want or expect from you, and the Enemy even makes you
sensitive to what you think they might be thinking about you.
Now you can see why I'm keeping you apart. The more you're
around people, the more distracted you become. You think when
you're together you can just be on a more shallow wavelength,
you put on a show or let the comedian hang out. People hardly
ever have the guts to be truly themselves in front of others.
That's sad.
I'm trying to teach you the art of just being yourself in whatever
situation. It's not necessary to pretend to be someone else, to
put on an act, a show, a mask.
You can't really say you're mature or really grown up until you're
able to just be you in front of others without pretenses.
I'm keeping you apart so that you can learn to be yourself. You
need to find out who you really are and then find the courage to
be that person in front of others, too, without cover-ups.
It's time to cast away childish things. You don't need to play a
game anymore. It's time to become the real thing.
When you play a game, you're rehearsing for the real thing.
You're nearly done rehearsing, and you're getting ready for the
real thing. It's time to leave this actor mentality behind and pierce
through this matrix of falseness & pretense by realness, by just
being blindingly, stunningly, naked you.

537 __________________________________________________
Your sin is only a temporary state, and since time, in
comparison to the vastness and reality of Eternity isn't really
"real" in a sense, like paper money: It may have a certain value to
you right now, but in the scope of eternity, it's nothing. "The
wages of sin is death. But the gift of God is eternal life."
Just like people are slaving away for money and live for nothing
but money, it seems, smoking away their given time... it's all
nothing but a bit of smoke, "a vapor that's here a little while and
then it's gone." But the real thing lasts forever.
So, don't worry too much about your weaknesses, your sins,
your failures... You can do what you can to overcome them, but
the main thing you've got to do is let Me. I've already given you
the gift of eternal life, in the scope of which you're already
perfect. Your sin is nothing to worry about anymore. You're not
under the payment system of the "wages of sin" anymore. I've
already promised you and given you an eternal vacation & rest
from it all, and the sooner you start enjoying living and working
and enjoying life for Me, the better off you're going to be.
Yes, they will hate and resist and despise you for it, "How dare
you despise our value system? How dare you just be happy?..."
Old Bottles can't stand the New Wine and news of a new world
that's going to conquer the old, the one in which they have
invested all their years, their efforts & "blood, sweat & tears" in
return for their wages.
Sin, time and money are connected somehow. If the love of
money is the root of all evil, then it is certainly connected to sin,
plus, if "time is money," as they say... they're living away their
lives in the slavery of sin. As I told the people, "He that commits
sin is the servant of sin" (John 8:34), and I'm the only One Who
can liberate anyone from that bondage. They slave away for their
meager wages, which, in the end, turn out to be nothing but
death, that "way which seemed so right unto a man," but turned
out to be the ways of death...
You slave away for little colored papers all your life, and all you
get for it in the end is the sting of death. But not so for those who
receive Me. For I can turn anything and everything into an
everlasting value. I'm the Great Alchemist Who can turn their
worthless copper into eternal gold. Even death will be something
precious in My sight, when someone has become one of My
saints by receiving Me. And I can even turn money into
something useful, something that creates & brings life, such as
your tithes, which are used for the good of My Kingdom.
It all depends on the spiritual direction you're going. Everything
that's done for self and the Devil turns to death: the whole
machinery of the System is geared to destruction and death. But
if you give it all to Me, and live for Me, whatever you've got and
invest in My Kingdom will turn to God's good and eternal gold,
your life will not be wasted, even though it may look like "wasted
time" to Systemites and from their "money-making" point of
view...
538 __________________________________________________
It's a common phenomenon that people who often
experience My anointing cannot tell when that anointing isn't
there, and it's just their own mind, intuition or feeling guiding and
directing them. This is what happened on a large scale to people
who finally got to the point where they will believe that whatever
they "get" is from Me, no matter whether it contradicts My Word
or My chosen prophets, or not. It's a putting of self above My
Spirit, which is, in essence, what pride really is.
It takes real humility to admit to oneself (and others), "Hey, I
thought I was in the Spirit or on the right track about that one,
but I think it's turning out I wasn't." The right motivation isn't
always necessarily the right spirit. And that's what they need to
learn and discern. Whenever they feel like speaking up &
correcting others for something they think isn't right according
to their view, and even perhaps according to the letter of the law,
they have to decide whether they're going to say it because it
must be from Me and the right thing to say just because it has
come to their mind, just like all the good things I give them when
they're really in tune, or whether they're going to double-check
with Me & make sure that it really is of My Spirit what they're
going to say.
It's the art of finding out when it really is My time to speak up
about your convictions and when it is best to keep quiet. It's a
real test of humility.
That saying "you're really 3 people, the one you see, the one
others see, and the one God knows you to be," also applies to
situations: you may see it from your point of view, the other sees
it from theirs, but only I see the whole "elephant." The biggest
mistake you can possibly make is assume that your view and
Mine are always identical. So, why not ask Me to show you the
other sides of the elephant before you're going to open your
mouth? That's what putting yourself in others' shoes means:
come & see the elephant from their angle. And one by one, if you
come over to their side & touch & feel what they do, you're going
to get a picture that coincides a lot more with Mine than your
original view, which you were convinced was the only right one...
It takes a willingness to learn more than what you already know,
a willingness to tell the Devil, when he attacks through pride, "I
know you're telling me right know I already know everything
there is to know, but I'd rather make double-sure & check in with
the Lord."
You need to expose these workings of the Enemy on the
subconscious level and become aware of them. Something may
feel so right, like "the way that seemeth right unto a man," and at
other times they can seem so wrong, but only I can tell you
exactly what is right or wrong.
What's wrong is what always has been wrong, since the
beginning of time: Satan has deceived mankind and brought sin
into the world and put you under the curse, so, it's a whole lot
tougher to really find out what's the truth, thanks to the
knowledge of good AND evil. From then on you've had to learn to
discern the truth from the lies, the good from evil, and the art is
especially recognizing the evil within yourself. It's plenty easy to
recognize it in others...
So, maybe what's wrong is not so much the other person's
"wrongness" or lack of whatever, but just your own present
angle & point of view of things. Maybe you're sitting in front of
the wrong part of the elephant, an ugly part of him, and that's
what determines your perception of reality right now. Move over
to the other fellow's side & touch, feel and see as he does. Put
yourself in their shoes. It's not only you singing, "walk a mile in
my shoes," but it's the others singing it, too. Just like you're
inviting them to walk in your shoes, they're also inviting you to
walk in theirs, and there's a lot of shoes to walk in, a lot of
viewpoints to share & angles from which to see things... a whole
lot of elephant to explore & discover.
539 __________________________________________________
My Word promises that you all shall be like Me (1John 3:2),
perfect. Perfectly yielded to Me and perfect in harmony with
everyone and everything around. As long as the Enemy is still
around, there will always be things, people or wavelengths you
will feel incapable of becoming one with, and rightly so. After all,
you're supposed to be finding out where you belong, and where
it's at. Choosing sides is what it's all about. Some simply choose
the wrong side, and it's sad, but you can't let that affect you too
much.
They just settle for the temporal, for the right here & now, for
their own "godhood," their round of playing king. Spoiled
children. It's a choice between wanting to be either good
children, who can wait for the reward and who are also willing to
do something for them, to make sacrifices, or spoiled children
who want to have it all now & can't wait until later. Of course, in
order to enjoy their cake now, they will have to pay the master of
the game. He caters to what they want. Whereas I'm more
concerned about what you truly need.
It's a choice between your own desires and inclinations, thinking
that what you want is all that matters, or whether you're going to
be able to trust that I know better, and that what you need is what
matters, not what you want or think you need.
It's receiving My fullness in exchange for letting go of the world's
emptiness, their fake fullness, the counterfeit of abundance, their
"too much of everything."
You should be doing more with what you already have, not do
more in order to get more! One of the big problems of the times
is the lack of appreciation for what's already there.
My eternal and spiritual viewpoint is generally more negatively
inclined toward the Systems of this world. It takes willingness &
courage to face certain ugly facts about the world and yourself in
order to embrace My truly positive viewpoint. And whereas the
materialistic viewpoint is more positively inclined toward the
System and the world as it is, it is in reality the more negative
view, because it depreciates Me.
While at first glance your view seems to be more negative, more
serious, more down-slanted than that of the materialist, it really
isn't, because your view is positive toward the true and real
things in life that really matter; your view is positively inclined
toward Me.
There's a big difference between "good" and "bad" as from the
different angles & points of view, the different sides of the
"elephant."
540 __________________________________________________
I'm trying to get Egypt out of you: the System's
indoctrination; and you must check your heart for any remnants
& residues of "Egypt" inside yourself & get rid of it.
Loyalty to My Family, My clan, My heavenly country & nation is
definitely priority over any "Egyptian" philosophies, views or
even "open-mindedness." Stay radical, stay tuned to Me, stay
dropped out, an Israelite at heart, and have no room in your heart
open for the ways and enticements of Egypt.

Persecution is often an instrument in My hands which I use
to make My own church white and to purify. It's the judgment I
bring upon My own house first, for that is where judgment
begins. I cannot judge the rest of the world while I let My own
children get away with sin. The world needs a fair God and
Judge.
Remember that you're supposed to be aids to the Great Attorney
of defense, Who is supposed to defend people before the Father
from the Devil's accusations. You're supposed to be on My side,
the side of the defense. So, don't get into any judging or
accusing yourself! You're supposed to help defend people
against the Devil. You're not supposed to be prison wardens, but
liberators. Show the people that you're on their side, that you're
not there to condemn them, but to save them. Your job is saving
them, not condemning them!
542 __________________________________________________
Be so filled with My Spirit, so full of Me, that there's no room
for any darkness, any lack or absence of light, such as in the
form of doubts, skepticism or disbelief, be it your own or that of
the people whose opinion you might be concerned about.
It takes a mindset of refusing to allow such things to hit you; just
determine to ignore them as empty winds and empty lies of the
Devil, empty shadows, that appear as darkness and blackness,
but disappear when faced with My light. Your faith in My light
needs to overcome those lies & pretenses & fears of darkness,
none of which are really real in the first place. The only power the
Devil holds is over the mind, but once you refuse to even
recognize that power and go forth in the faith that I am well able
to overcome all that, the battle is yours.
They might decide to cling to their illusions of doubt & darkness,
and to that shadow, refuse to let go of the false mindsets of the
past, refuse to take that opportunity for a new today and a new
tomorrow, but you must make it clear to them that you're offering
them the power to blow all that away, all their shadows of the
past, if they will just give Me a chance and allow Me to, by
receiving Me.
I can give them a better future and present than all the good
times they ever experienced in the past. And especially for those
who didn't have any joyful yesterdays to look back on, whose
lives have only been pain and sorrow thus far, I can be their
Comforter and Giver of a brand new today and tomorrow.
Of course, it's a whole different story when you're dealing almost
exclusively with people who see nothing wrong with this life, who
only believe in themselves and who don't think that there's a
need for any change whatsoever. They have embraced Satan's
illusion as the light, and the light of My truth only bewilders and
even frightens them, it's a "strange truth" to them, that topples
their neat little picture of the way they see things. But you can
still offer them the truth, even if it may not be easy to swallow, it
still is much better than the lie, simply because it is the truth.
You're dealing in truth (if anybody asks you what your business
is), and the problem is that the demand for it is kind of rare,
which is why you have to ignite and spark people's interest in it.
The lie is easy, the lie is comfortable. It may even satisfy
somewhat, like a drug, but it will never truly make you happy.
Like a drug, you may become addicted to it and dependent on it,
and the thought of ever having to live without it scares you
nearly half out of your wits. But wouldn't you consider freedom
from such an addiction a positive gift? Yes, it requires a miracle.
First of all, they have to be willing to forsake this drug they've
been so comfortable with, perhaps for all their lives. And then
they have to see it through, to go without it, to start a whole new
life of independence from that former crutch they were so used
to.
That's what's the difference between My sheep and the goats: My
sheep know deep inside that there is something else than the
drug, the lie, and they're waiting for it, waiting for their liberation,
waiting for the truth, waiting for the light to pierce their darkness,
their false imitation of light, their "reality," which they can quite
clearly sense, couldn't possibly be all there is. The others are
fine with it. They can keep pretending and playing the game until
the day they die. The lie is like second nature to them, in fact, it's
more than that; to them it is the truth, and some will even
vehemently defend it.
Positiveness would be, to not rest until every effort were made to
try to deliver as many junkies as you possibly can. Negativity
would be to just give in, to let circumstances dissuade you and
make you think it's senseless, no use, no hope, no chance.
Negativity would be to accept the mind frame that it's
"impossible." Positiveness is faith, to believe, and not give up
fighting for their deliverance.
I would like you to adopt a fighter spirit, knowing that it is your
God-given duty to fight for the deliverance & Salvation of those
lost souls, and that giving up prematurely would be a very bad
and negative thing to do, almost like treason, desertion,
neglecting your duty and high calling from above.
So, adopting a more positive mind-frame for you would spell not
giving up on them too easily, but continuing to fight for
Salvation, knowing that it's worth it. Otherwise it's almost as if
you have accepted part of their lie, that they don't really need My
Salvation and My Deliverance. If you believe that, then in this
aspect you have moved over to the Enemy's camp. You're saying
(by your actions): "Yeah, it's alright for you to keep on living the
way you do. It doesn't make much of a difference whether you
live with the truth or in the lie. If the drug's the thing for you, then
keep living with it." You're accepting the Devil's lie as a
"necessary evil" and just allow it to coexist. Whereas I would
consider positiveness, being a wholehearted & stouthearted,
relentless fighter who will not give any room or place for evil to
exist.
I'm asking you to sound a wake up call that's going to shake
them out of their beds and is going to make them shiver. Now,
that's what I would call success, and that's what a successful
mission would be in My eyes, if you have managed to shake a
good few people up, made them shake in their boots, scared and
convicted about continuing to live one more day in their illusion,
their addiction to the lie.
My goal for you is not for you to live a comfortable life until the
day you peacefully die of old age. My idea of your purpose in life
is not a comfortable vacation. It's meant to be more adventurous
than that, daring them to wake up, challenging them.
Be a living alarm clock in their lives that will rattle them out of
their sleep and their stupor.

You must trust that what I am teaching you will be appreciated Just focus on My love for you, and everything else will become
and needed and welcomed in due time. Please don't become irrelevant. Focus on what I'm trying to teach you. Focus on what
I'm giving you.
Behold what richness of spiritual goods I have bestowed upon
you! It would help you to be more patient with yourself and
others if you would remember that when it comes down to it,
you're all just children.
You're all just learning, like kids in school. Some day you're
going to put aside childish things and become mature, and you
will see eye to eye. Those who leave My school prematurely are
the ones who get tired of My teaching, My curriculum, they play
hookies and want to be their own teachers and masters.
They didn't believe that I would help them to rise above any
inability, any weakness that would hinder them to cope with the
lessons and challenges I put before them. They didn't have the
faith that My love in them could do the humanly impossible.
All you've really got to do is trust in My love, My love for you, that
it's great enough to help you to overcome anything. It's the love
that overcomes all things. (See Romans 8:31,32).
Look at My immense love for you, which makes any lack of love
irrelevant! All that matters is My love for you, which initiates
everything in the first place. You love Me because I first loved
you, and you are able to love others and yourself because I first
loved you.
"Denying yourself and taking up your cross" is the very opposite
of man's modern teachings and other philosophies of "finding
yourself," fulfilling yourself" and saving yourself. Denying
yourself means to not accept the Enemy's lies, which he tells the
proud and self-sufficient that any of you can save yourselves by
your good works. It also means to forsake your own plans about
making a great name for yourself in this life. It means putting
your cards and your money on the Spirit, and the World to come,
not the flesh and this present world. It means that you believe
what I said: "It is the Spirit that quickens (gives life), the flesh
profits nothing," that you have chosen the way of Abel, not of
Cain, the way of the "Lord-letters" not of the workers-in-the-
flesh...
But it doesn't mean that you have to suppress yourself once I
have renewed you, once you have been born again, once I've
saved you and you've become a new creature in Me.
The Devil tries to inflate the egos of those who disobey Me, and
at the same time to belittle those who do obey Me. He's the
"coach" of the wicked, and he will spur on and encourage those
who do evil, and he will try to discourage those who do good.
I know that it may seem like an impossible fight to win, against
such a wicked and sly foe, invisible, unrecognized and operating
in stealth, even unnoticed by some of those who should know
better. He hates to be exposed. Those demons - including the
ones that are lingering around My children and try to influence
them and stop them from making progress & true spiritual
forward-movement - know who their potentially most dangerous
enemies are, those who can see their game and look through the
games they cause their victims to play.
But all you must focus on is My love for you, it will be stronger
than any hatred, resentment and rejection you may experience.
Love is stronger than pride. If you let My love permeate your very
being, pride eventually will not even be able to phase you. Let My
love for you and in you erase any traces of pride!
Just focus on My love for you. Let it be more important than
anything else.

Sometimes I use the horrors of this world to drive you into

you to become more heavenly-minded, less worldly-minded, for
you to realize yet a bit more how much this world is not your

belong here.

upon all those evil growths of darkness & will make an end for
them & cast them in the fire.
Trust in spite of all that the weeds of darkness can threaten to

darkness, knowing that the darkness - no matter how gloomy - is
only temporal, soon to be chased away by My glorious, eternal
light.

When I say "the flesh profiteth nothing," it means that it's
often only prolonging things, making them unnecessarily
complicated and creating a detour, when you're trying to figure
out & accomplish things in the arm of the flesh, instead of taking
the simple way of childlike faith and the way of the Spirit.
I know your frailties & weaknesses, and use you according to My
purpose, in coordination with what I know about your
weaknesses and strengths. My spirit world is very efficient in
finding out just what works best with different folks, and we're
not bound to any ruts. That's another thing that's so wonderful
about the freedom of the Spirit.
That's why I'm telling you, keep your eyes on Me, focus on My
Spirit and My love, and look away from those who are bound by
rules and limitations which don't necessarily apply to you, simply
because I've given you greater freedom. I can't allow everyone
the same amount of freedom. Some need those tight & strict
rules to go by, and it irritates them to see others running around
outside of them. But if I have blessed you with greater faith &
greater freedom, what is that to them? And if I have given them
the need for greater restrictions & tighter rules, what is that to
thee? Every man according to his need & purpose. Quit putting
each other in boxes. If I have called you to greater freedom, why
do you limit yourself to confines which weren't meant for you?

I'm ushering in a new era in your life, in which you cease to

I'm trying to get you to swap from leaning on physical power, and
lean on My shoulders instead.
I want you to put a greater emphasis on learning to acquire
things you need by praying for them, by applying the spiritual
principle, "ask and ye shall receive," instead of leaning on the
arm of the flesh. I want your life to become more & more of a
daily miracle for which you cannot help but give Me the glory as
it becomes more & more obvious to you that it's truly My hand
supplying for you, not your own efforts with just a little help from
above.
Direct what strength you have toward Me, using it to activate My
much greater power, and avail yourself of that to make things
happen for you. If you invest more time & energy in prayer, the
results are going to be a lot more favorable than whatever results
you achieve by doing it in your own energy.
I'll richly reward you for having put My Kingdom & My affairs, My
Family, first.

572 __________________________________________________
You've learned that My ways are not your ways, and that My
ways sometimes include unexpected, seeming detours, which - if
you trust Me - might land you further down the road, and better
equipped than before in the long run.
Certain experiences can bring about changes in your attitudes,
which will enable you to handle situations with renewed zest &
energy, and in different ways.
You should go through that unpleasant experience with your
whole heart and both eyes open for the biggest possible amount
of benefits you can carry away from it, not "get it over with as
quickly as possible." You've got to embrace the hard times and
fully taste them and experience them, so that you can really carry
away from them all that I want you to. In many aspects they're
more valuable than the pleasant times.
You don't have to dread the adversities! You were made for them!
You were made to face them and master them with flying colors!
After all; I'm giving you the means to face them.
Keep your eyes on My supply and provision, not on whatever
lack you see.
Materialism is like an addiction, a fake way to satisfy the aching
voids that were created to be filled by Me. But it is sin. To be
filling the place in your heart that was destined for Me with
anything but Me is sin. It is idolatry. It is having other gods before
Me, or instead of Me. A lot of folks don't know any better; and
that's where your job comes in, of reminding them of what's
really essential.
Remind them that "man shall not live by bread alone," that there
is something better that they need, in order to be happy.
573 __________________________________________________
When you get saved, you become a live one, and the Devil is
going to try to bag you, and in some ways, the fight and battle of
life will become even tougher. But it's well worth the price,
knowing where you're going to go when the battle is over and
that you're on the winning side, isn't it? The future losers are
allowed to pretend to be the winners here in this life.
The Devil will try to use this as an argument to discourage you
from winning souls: "See? It doesn't work! They're not changed!
They received Jesus, and they still don't act any better than they
did beforehand... Salvation is a fake," as he's obviously managed
to persuade some.
They get discouraged by the lack of obvious, visible short-term
results of when someone got saved. Some people never climb up
any further that "stairway to heaven," after they get saved: they
just stay there on that first step, & can even go downhill from
there. The game of free choice doesn't stop there. Although you
have decided to receive Me, it doesn't mean that you're
automatically going to continue receiving Me from then on. As
you can see with some, they make the decision afterwards to
never open their heart to Me again. The Devil scares them out. All
they do is receive the seed, but they don't allow it to sprout, grow
& blossom. They're afraid of letting it fall into the ground and die
so that it may bring forth fruit in them. They instinctively know
that some part of them is going to die with it, if they allow that.
Their physical, momentary lives are what matters more to them
than eternity.
That's why they can doubt their Salvation, too, and it makes
others doubt as well that they ever got saved or possibly could
be saved and are on their way to heaven. In order to make
salvation work for you in this life, and do you any good in the
here & now, you're going to have to work at it. You're going to
have to fight the Devil for one thing, instead of surrendering to
him.
It's the factor of how much you seek the truth. Some can live with
the lie and would be satisfied with a cheap counterfeit. That's
good enough for them. The illusion & fake & counterfeit does it
for them, they're okay with it.
But there are those who just can't stand to live like that, and
those are My crown-hunters. They're not going to chase only
after mere earthly rewards, but they're going to live this life I've
given them in pursuit of that higher reward, that everlasting one.
They put their stakes up higher than the rest of them, they shoot
for everlasting fame & glory, not in this world, but in the one to
come.
The only thing that can really spur you on to do the right kind of
thing is My love. And that's the only thing that can make a soul
that has been won for Me grow, too. You've got to pour on them
My love in prayer, and in any other form and shape they happen
to need it: forgiveness for their flaws, as a manifestation of how I
have forgiven them and will continue to forgive them, simply for
having received Me, showing that you're not giving up on them,
that you believe in them, as a manifestation of how I believe in
them, even if they don't happen to really believe in Me. They
drank Me in and received Me in that one crucial moment when
they received Me, but then they locked up their heart again, or
their mind. But you must not give up on them, and it should not
be an excuse for you to stop loving and feeding them.
They don't stop being My children! I won't abandon them, even if
they turn their backs on Me. Of course, I could do more for them
if they wouldn't, and a lot does depend on their personal choices,
but I've got to have you believing in them, too, that they're still
My children, and still yours, too, they're still your brothers and
sisters, even if it seems as if they're stillborn. You never know
what miracle is going to revive that seed of Me in them and will
bring My dormant presence in them to life.
574 __________________________________________________
Your accomplishments are not what matters most to Me. Wait
& depend on Me, trust in Me every step of the way through a
project, instead of leaning to your own understanding.
Heavenly communication is what it's all about. In My Father's
house, with its many mansions, there is lots of communication
happening; spiritual communication, verbal communications, all
kinds of communication. Folks aren't bound to earthly confines &
limitations. There's no more need for "firewalls"... It's all sort of
"open source." Everyone's an open source of information and
communication; something the Devil is trying to imitate in his
gross, abusive way.
Just consider yourself part of our heavenly communications
network, because you are. Tune in to Me on a regular level, even
about little and seemingly insignificant things.
575 __________________________________________________
Trust in Me is the most valuable thing you have. I need to
push you to the extreme at times, to find out just how strong,
how pure, how real your trust in Me really is.
Faith in Me is not really valued properly, unless it is the most
important thing in your life. I'm constantly trying to get decisions
from each of My children, in order to show, who or what they put
their trust in when it all comes down to it. And it's good for you to
find out just how much you can trust Me, that even in a life-and-
death situation you can rely on Me, you're in My hands, and
everything's under My perfect control.
Every time you manage to get over another hurdle, another
obstacle and challenge in life, it will strengthen your faith to
make it over the next one. Your faith will no longer just rely on My
promises to you, but also on the experience that I am well able to
keep them.
You'll be able to say with your whole heart, "I know He won't let
me down, because He has never let me down. He has helped me
through this trouble and that trouble, and I know He will see me
through the next one as well."
Emergencies & crises bring out the best in you, purify your faith
and trust in Me. It's the road of Gethsemane that you will each
find in your lives when you truly follow Me. Remember there were
2 other fellows crucified along with Me that day, just as there are
many others suffering the manifold ways in which all of you do.
Yet I was the One Who had gone that way of the cross for Love,
for others, and for the Father that day, Who had walked a
righteous path. One of the other two relied on his own
"goodness" until the very end, his own smartness, and his own
world view. The other saw that there was something greater
there, something beyond him, something he couldn't quite
comprehend, but he knew it was something he wanted to be part
of, in whatever remote way it were possible, and I granted him
entrance.
It was through My suffering that this soul was saved, and even
so, through your sufferings, souls can be won to Me, too. The
testimony of the way My saints trust Me in their sufferings and in
the hours of their temptation is one of the greatest witnesses and
testimonies they can give.
Trust that this is not only going to work out for your own good,
but also the good of others who love Me, even if they may not
know yet that they do love Me. Are you willing to suffer for
others, as I was? Are you willing to follow Me?
I never asked anyone to worship Me, I asked them to follow Me.
To worship someone is easy. It's adoring them from afar. But to
follow them and do as they do, that’s a real proof of love, that's
worship in spirit and in truth (Jn.4:24). I don't want My children to
be going through any motions & dead ceremonies, like they do in
the churches. I want them to be living samples of Me, to show the
world that faith in Me really works, that it's a powerful, life-
changing force.
It's just never brought out to the full unless you have
experienced those acid tests.
Following Me is not about friends, a cool life-style and all the fun
of communal living, but about communication with Me. Faith is
what gives life, meaning and purpose to it all in the first place,
and without it, it won't work. It's like the tiny little core inside an
atom. It's so tiny, compared to the rest of the atom, which are like
the works, the manifestation that makes faith evident. But
without that tiny little core, there'd be no atom, because
everything else revolves around it. It's that "little strength" I
speak of in Revelations: the tiny little core of faith inside the
"atom" of your works & accomplishments & fruit for Me. Without
that tiny little strength, nothing else would come to pass. It's the
no.1 requirement. Without faith, it is impossible. Just as all
things are possible to him that believeth, all things are
impossible to him that believeth not, because faith is what makes
everything possible in the first place.
You've got to have faith, otherwise nothing is ever going to
happen. No miracles, no lives changed, no light. Only the
darkness & emptiness of unbelief. That's why it's so important
that you sow faith. Without faith, there's no real life, only
darkness. You may be seeing all those people, and they may look
alive, but without faith, they're not. They're not really alive. Just
going through the motions, like all those dead church rituals &
ceremonies. What brings everything to life is faith, and without
faith, there is no life. No life worth living, that is. So, sow faith,
help faith to grow, wherever you may go. Strengthen their faith;
make it grow. Tell them that faith is what counts. And nothing
else matters.
576 __________________________________________________
I'm like a well within you, but in order to bring up the water to
the surface, and to spill over onto others, to benefit others as
well, you need to make the effort of pumping it up first. Widen
your circle of tolerance toward outsiders and give them a chance
to accept Me and to change. Exert more faith in people, or rather,
in what I can do and bring about in them. I can do all things and
am able to change every life that you allow Me to touch them
through you.
I taught you to pray, "Thy Kingdom come; Thy will be done on
earth as it is in heaven;" but I have also said, "the Kingdom of
God is within you" (Lk.17:21). It's within you, and I'm using you to
pump it up and slowly but surely flood the world with it. It's
coming from all directions, like the waters of the flood, which
were coming from both, the "fountains of the deep," as well as
from the heavens.
See the world as it will be under My power & sovereign rule.
Since it's all accomplished already in My eyes, as far as I'm
concerned, this is a realistic worldview; more realistic than that
of those who doubt that I'm in total and absolute control and fail
to see Me in everything.
Those who perform miracles are those who are convinced
beyond a shadow of a doubt, that I am in control, that I have
power over all the elements, and that I rule and reign supreme. I
need My believers to activate that power and to direct it wherever
it's most needed.
I judge righteous judgment; I see each heart. I see each
circumstance & background.
There's a lot more detail to everything. It takes time to get an
accurate picture of everything. I don't paint in black & white. My
palette of colors is as infinite as My creation. There will never be
a lack of surprises, of new discoveries, of new, unexpected
twists and turns in events. You will never be able to say, "Now I
know everything there is to know..."
There will always be whole new worlds and dimensions to
discover, new angles from which to see things, new additions to
make your scope wider, which will burst your former limits.
I'm showing you to love them not only when they're good, but
also when they're bad. I am teaching you to love in the way I
love; not conditionally, not 'providing you're a good boy or girl,'
but always.
Love loves always, even when all that appeals to the flesh is
gone. Love sees the invisible beyond the visible.
You have been carrying around some of that old black and white
worldview, and I'm trying to get you to discard it for a better one,
a more positive, more colorful one, with a broader spectrum and
a wider range of things you make room for, you can include in
your circle of tolerance and acceptance. Inclusion is the name of
the game, instead of exclusion.
You can see Me in everything. Everything belongs! Everything
that happens to you comes from My hand, and you can embrace
it wholeheartedly. I will not give you a stone if you have asked Me
for bread; it's My promise, and I will not break it. If you have
asked Me for good food and nourishment, and that's what you
desire, I will not give you something that's not good for you.
Accept, believe and embrace. Live in the now, the place where
time meets eternity.
The world needs a whole lot more love than it deserves. Only I
have enough love for the world. Others may give according to
what people may deserve, but that's just not enough, for good
works can never buy you all the love you need. It's got to be My
grace from start to finish.
577 __________________________________________________
Focus on integrating, not on avoiding.
I'm the Glue that keeps you together. Allow Me to run and flow
into the cracks that are between you.
Life is not just about making it on your own.
Everything happens for a reason, and I want you to be more alert
and ready to see Me in the things happening around you. I want
you to include Me and get ahold of My Spirit and see the situation
through My eyes, so you can react to it as I would react, and not
just the way your carnal mind would.
By allowing Me to be a greater part of your life, you're allowing
yourself to become a more active and intensive part of Me.
(Jn.15:5).
The key to being happy is to accept that what I want for you is
truly best, and in wanting what I want.
No matter how convinced you may be of something, My reality
might still surprise you; the way things really are. Always stay on
pulse with Me & in touch with My reality, and what I know to be
the truth.
578 __________________________________________________
 By talking about your battles, trials and temptations, you are
on your best way to overcoming them. You're having the Enemy
exposed that way. Bring it all out into the open and he won't have
a chance to do his dirty business in the dark and in secret
anymore, which takes the power from him.
You're able to call a spade a spade, a bluff a bluff, a temptation
merely what it is, namely a temptation, but not necessarily a
major crisis, since you're not about to give in to it.
It's so beautiful to Me when My brides tuck away their personal
desires, put them on the backburner for the sake of the greater
good & what's really important: for the sake of My Kingdom and
My will.
It's realizing that all these things - your desires, wishes, etc., are
temporal, and not really what matters, compared to My much
greater Cause.
The small, personal cause is infinitesimal when it comes to My
true and everlasting Cause. Faith is what makes you hinge your
focus and vision on that, not the mere fleeting earthly and
temporal pleasures.
If you can say with Pope John XXIII, "Apart from the will of God,
there is nothing interesting to me," then that's a major step
toward spiritual maturity. Finally self and its interests have taken
second place to Me and what I want.
There is a greater cause to fight and strive for, than merely your
own.
579 __________________________________________________
I never imitated the System's way; I came up with My very
own, straight-forward and direct way.
My way was love, truth and humility. Adapt to My style instead of
theirs.
It's tough to go My way, because it means being willing to take
the pain, instead of dishing it out. It means to be ready to receive
the ridicule, ready to be laughed at, instead of being the one who
ridicules and laughs at others. It means taking up the cross
yourself, instead of nailing others to crosses with your words.
Make sure that what you say carries the spirit of humility.
It's gotta be love. It's gotta be humble. It's gotta be Me.
580 __________________________________________________
How do you become a master of any art? By practice. You
learn a skill by practicing it, and the way to learn to love is simply
by doing it. Whenever you're tempted to feel critical about
someone, instead of allowing the critical words to cross your
lips, praise Me or say something nice instead; something loving,
edifying, something good.
When you're trying to get anywhere, you want to get there in the
fastest way possible. You seek an advantage for yourself, you
want to get ahead and leave the rest behind.
But seeing the world through a universal, all-embracing lens
means not trying to separate yourself from the slower folks on
the right lane, but seeing yourself as part of them. Try to love
even the slowest driver on the right lane. Besides being medicine
for your attitude, your nerves and circulation, it also lessens the
breakdown risk of your car, the amount of pollution you sling into
the air, and the amount of risk you pose to yourselves and other
drivers.
"Get out of the fast lane!" Patience and love are connected: it
takes time to love. There's no way around it. It takes time to love
all those drivers on the right lane of life. If you constantly seek to
get ahead of everyone and simply curse the fact that you're not
fortunate enough to afford yourself a faster car in order to be
able to leave even more folks behind, then you're missing the
point. That's definitely not My idea of getting ahead.
A more patient attitude will improve your relationships. Friends
are those who take time to be and make friends. Even if it means
sacrificing some of the time you'd ideally invest in the things you
consider most important, in "getting ahead." Helping others to
get ahead, to grow, to make progress in their lives, taking time to
share with them what you've learned, all this requires the kind of
patience you need.
If you want to be more loving, if you want to love more, just take
your time to do it. That's the only way it works. It means you cut
a big piece of the cake of your time that's been given you and
pass it on to others and share it with them. That's what
witnessing is: you invest some of your time into personally
passing on to others what I've given you.
You've got to broaden your view not only in one direction. Seeing
in the spirit is a multi-dimensional thing. It zooms and expands
not only uni-directionally, into the distance, but into all
directions, left right, even retrospectively. You can learn things
out of the past, if you've got your spiritual eyes open, that you
never could have learned otherwise. If it weren't so, what would
be the purpose in reading those old Bible stories, or in watching
movies about people who lived in the past, or finding out about
folks who lived and died hundreds of years ago?
So, if I can even cause you to learn from the things that are
behind, how much more would I like you to learn from the things
- and especially the people - on your left and right?
I mean for you to include and embrace them all, the entire scope,
circle and spectrum of what surrounds you, and by doing so,
embracing Me even in the least of these, your brethren. If you
don't, there'll be no end to the differences you'll be seeing
between you and everyone else, instead of dwelling on the things
you have in common. Which will result in isolating yourself more
and more from everything and everyone. Isn't it much better to
do it the other way? Not judging automatically, but forgiving
automatically.
No matter what the sin, what the differences between you and
them may be, you don't judge, label, criticize and exclude them
automatically from your world and your sympathy, but include,
forgive, cast a veil over countless sins immediately, without even
necessarily insisting on seeing them all. That is love. Try to be
understanding, even if you don't understand. All you need to
understand is that I love them, and so should you. You can love
them; it's okay to love them, and you should love them. Why wait
for everyone to be perfect before you're going to love them? You
think that way you don't waste your energy but will conserve it,
but I'm afraid that's not how it works. Love is like manna; you've
got to use it today. That's what living in the here & now really
means. Do all that you can to be loving and to give love today.
Today and right now is all you've got and that's guaranteed, to
give love to those around you; so why not use it?
581 __________________________________________________
The Enemy tries to have you believe that you're having a
legitimate reason and excuse for self-pity.
He tries to make everybody's situation look like the worst
possible to them. That's why it's so important to praise Me and
be thankful; show an attitude of gratitude, and why praise is such
an important factor and key.
When there are battles and quarrels, just praise Me for them. This
is a real legit way of overcoming. Just praise Me for another
challenge and trial in life!
What's your attitude: gratitude or resentment? That's what it all
boils down to, your constant choice. Will you resent the trial, the
empty half of your cup, or show gratitude for the full half? Life is
never all good nor all bad. You might say there are always good
things and bad things present in it; it all just depends which are
the ones you choose to look at or emphasize on.
If you focus on the bad, then that's what will determine the major
connotation of your view, your attitude, your day, your life. But if
you focus on the good (and if you have Me, you always have
something Good to focus on), then that will determine your
outlook.
The Devil knows what you hate the most, and tries to rub that in
all he can. He provokes those situations you hate. They don't just
happen by coincidence or karma. They're attacks from him,
which means that you must be significantly important to him as
an adversary, that he would go to such lengths to make your day
miserable, in order to stop you, slow you down, stifle your
testimony. And that should make you wonder why. It should
make you go, "Wait a minute, if the Devil goes to such lengths to
slow me down or get me down, then there needs to be a good
reason for it. If it wouldn't be important how I react now, then he
would just leave me in peace and ignore me. He'd try to lull me to
sleep and keep me happy. But I must be doing something right,
so he's trying to stop that."
Remember that you're a live one. It's you that his demons attack,
not those who are not doing anything or going anywhere for Me.
In other words, your trials and battles are a direct result of your
doing the right thing, like that quote, "when you decide to serve
God, all hell breaks loose," or, "The Devil doesn't start shooting
until you get over the top..." As long as you accomplish nothing,
he'll leave you in peace. But if you're doing My will, he'll attack
you, because you pose a threat to him. It's like people who feel
threatened by others with power.
So, consider it a privilege, a sign and manifestation of the power
that you have, if the Devil is attacking. Exposing your weak spots
& chinks in your armor also helps our cause, because like this
you'll know which limbs and areas you'll have to strengthen,
where you've got to watch out & stay on guard.
"Count it all joy when you fall into divers temptations." "Rejoice
inasmuch as ye are partakers of the sufferings of Christ."
The battle shows that you're on the right side, that you're a
winner. It shows that you're still alive, and that the Devil
considers you an enemy he should try to stop and slow down.
That means you're accomplishing something that counts. It
means he hates you and you're not his friend. Isn't it good to
know you're on the right side? You're on My side!
So, resentment and resignation would be the absolutely wrong
reaction to have... that would be what he's trying to accomplish.
But if you endure and are still able to keep a grateful attitude, in
spite of the dirty tricks he pulls, the division he tries to sow, if
you see him as the culprit, instead of blaming the victim or the
circumstances; if you see what's happening in the spirit, instead
of the carnal view, then you're on your way to overcoming.
The flesh will tell you, "Hey, this is not what I'd call success! It
doesn't look very much like God is blessing you! Why are you
having so many problems? You must be doing something
wrong!" But you'll be mature enough to tell, "To hell with success
or failure! To hell with the circumstances! All that counts is the
battle, and that I'm on the right side, so, bring it on!"
If he fails to intimidate you with his empty bluffs, the Enemy will
eventually turn tail and run.
582 __________________________________________________
Changes are good for you. I never take one thing away from
you without giving you something better.
Keep your eyes & ears open for changes. Be flexible. Be
movable.
In your effort to see the positive side of your situation you
sometimes purposely overlook the negative. The real trick is to
see the positive opportunity beyond the negative circumstance;
the fact that I can alter the circumstances for you.
While it's good and commendable to be content with such things
that ye have, this doesn't mean that you should settle for
something mediocre when I might be able to give you something
better.
583 __________________________________________________
Look with the eyes of the spirit. If you look with the eyes of
the flesh, you only see the obvious, but the eyes of the spirit see
deeper, beyond the flaws, and see the good and possibilities that
others cannot.
The grass is always greener on the other side, but only until you
get there and have a closer look at it.
Learning to see the good, and appreciation seem to be forgotten
skills that have to be regained by conscious efforts. Praise is
helpful in this.
Making praise & prayer a habit is really a key to success in life.
Count your blessings! Count the qualities of your blessings, list
them, describe them, become conscious and aware of them, and
you'll find it to be a secret to gratitude, which again is a secret to
happiness.
Taking things for granted is a killer. Gratitude and appreciation
bring new life. Want some new life? Give thanks for the things
you've got, and the very act will breathe new life into your being!
584 __________________________________________________
"Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for the brethren to
dwell together in unity." I love it when My brides live and work
together in love and unity, without any of the interferences of the
Enemy, the grudges & little differences of opinions & negative
feelings he likes to sow. It's a sign that I've managed to get you
out of the way and you are giving Me a chance, also to speak to
you through others.
When you give others a chance to be Me to you, then you truly
esteem each other higher than yourselves and submit yourselves
one to another.
Nothing is as valuable to Me as when My brides love and serve
each other. All else is relatively insignificant: your personal
achievements, your successes, your works. Nothing else matters
to Me like your unity, when I behold My children and see love and
humility between them; each one seeking what's good for the
other, and not their own.
Be patient and merciful with others' flaws and failings, just as
you would wish for Me to be with yours. Pray for them. That's the
best and most effective thing you can do in order to change
things for the better.
585 __________________________________________________
Pain is part of life.
Learning to deal with folks who go according to totally different
standards, selfish standards, the System's standards, or even
the Devil's is what I've had to do also. And if I've had to deal with
it, along with their hatred and persecution, as I've told My
disciples, so will you.
The sting of betrayal, of pain from someone you trusted, is all
part of your cross.
In part it's a form of chastisement for your former streaks that
you were prone to yourself. There's nothing that helps cure
someone from a quality that distracts from Me than a good
confrontation with that weakness in somebody else.
Don't seek to shun or avoid the pain. It's part of it all, the big
picture of life... the dark shades, that make for beautiful contrast.
Those are the things and experiences that make your heart cry
real. No rose without a thorn; no beauty without pain.
586 __________________________________________________
Life is like a drink, and you've just got to quaff that cup.
Sometimes it's a little bitter, but you've got to trust the Doctor
that it's good for you. Along with the bitter, there's also some
sweet. Don't forget to praise Me for it, instead of just complaining
about the not-so-pleasant stuff.
Praising Me for it all, including the bitter parts of life, shows faith;
it's wielding the weapon of praise to the utmost, and you will see
and witness the devastating effect it will have on the Enemy, and
thus the wonderful, positive effect it will have on you and your
life.
587 __________________________________________________
My Spirit will help you see even the ugly and imperfect things
from a heavenly and divine perspective, which will enable you to
love even that which is far from perfect, because through My
eyes you get a glimpse of what they're going to become.
Like the man that had been blind from birth, so that the glory of
God could be manifest in him, so that I could come along on that
day and heal him, even so it is with a lot of pain in the lives of
those who love Me: Those pains are there for Me to turn them
into a blessing, to bring beauty for ashes.
Just exactly what My plan is in this you may not see right now,
but you will understand and see and rejoice in due time.
Sometimes enmity and a clear division has to be brought about
in order to bring My servants and brides to the point where they
stop fraternizing with fractions of the Enemy, simply in order to
maintain some kind of peace. Remember that I have not come to
bring peace, but a sword. (Mt.10:34-36)
It has come to this point again where a man's foes shall be they
of his own household because of Me. Again, there is division
among the people because of Me. Again, I'm asking you to be
separate. Again I'm asking you to endure to be hated of men for
My name's sake. Even though they claim to know My name, and
they claim to know Me and claim that they're part of Me, they are
not, for they have despised and rejected Me for this world.
They've gone the way of compromise, the way of the flesh. They
have not had eyes for the spirit, all they could see was the carnal,
they never clung to My Word, the Source of life.
It's what makes you separate: My Word. The sword of My Word, a
divider for some and bringer of new life for others, is the very
force that brings about this separation. The more you live and
dwell in it, the more different you will become from them, the
more you won't fit in, and the more they will oppose and reject
you, just as they have rejected Me, because My Word is Me, and
through My Word, you become like Me and one with Me and in
opposing and rejecting you, they oppose and reject Me.
They find themselves fighting against God, and haven't become
aware of it. They think they're in the right. Their own cause is all
the cause they need, their own right, their own truth the only one
that counts to them. Damned are they who only follow their own
truths. Blessed are the genuine seekers of My truth.
588 __________________________________________________
(Arcos:) Input and output is the name of the game when it
comes to being a conduit of the Lord's power. You have to make
sure that your channel is clean & smooth, free of any distracting
or obstructing clutter from the System. The Enemy knows the
dark, deep hidden spots on your system that you haven't even
explored yourself!
That's why you need all the new weapons. You constantly need
to upgrade your artillery in order to stay up to par with the
Enemy.
The Lord is allowing mankind to discover things that have
already been spiritual truths, facts and modes of operation in the
spirit world. He allows man to translate it into physical terms, so
that you can learn a spiritual lesson from it.
You can't just remain the same, you can't just keep what you've
got, but you've got to change, upgrade, make progress.
Sometimes the old equipment or modus operandi just won't do
anymore, and you'll need to upgrade, and when the time comes,
there's simply no way around it.
There's more; you should not sink into an attitude of having
arrived at a point where you don't need to improve, upgrade or
progress anymore. He wants you to keep your eyes open for new
possibilities, techniques & ways.
The Lord's leading you to "upgrade," to try out new things. It's
the opposite of conservatism. Conservatives always try to
preserve & cling to their old ways of doing things, and they
resent progress & change. But the Lord wants you to be
progressive, He wants you to move along with the flow of the
new. Being a conduit of His power means to always be open and
ready for His flow of the new through you, because He is "the
New," that which will radically renew the System of Everything.
The Devil was trying to imitate Him in this, by bringing about his
changes into the Lord's creation, but in reality he only created
that which is rotting and starting to cry out to be replaced by the
truly new and incorruptible.
Anger, being aggravated, lust, materialism, a desire to resist
change, etc. That's his kind of input. Pride, envy, jealousy..., the
whole range of sin.
The Lord wants to make sure that you do all you can in order to
bring as much change into your life as possible, so that it won't
just be the same rut and routine.
Change and being a good conduit go hand in hand.

you're getting the raw end of the deal, you must not look at
what's at hand, the immediate outlook, the circumstances or the
obvious. Sometimes it's only by faith that you can tell that you're
on the right side, My side, that I'm with you and that I am
blessing you. Only those with great faith can say, "though He
slay me, yet will I trust in Him. Though He allow me to be

You had to find it was in Me, not in any of the distractions, or
even physical manifestations of My love, just like Elijah found out
in the wilderness that My voice wasn't in the storm, nor the
earthquake, nor the fire (1Kings 19:11,12), but in hearing My still,
small, spiritual voice, one that is not perceived with your physical
senses, but Spirit. Man's spirit can only be satisfied by spirit, as
Francis said: "Man is a spirit, he has a soul, and that is what I
want to find again: my soul."
So many have to find their souls again, their innermost selves,
that aching void I have left in each of My children, that only I can
fill.
When you're young, all the voices of desires are so loud and
strong, they often drown out the cry of your innermost heart and
soul. You had experienced My goodness and thought there
would be no end to it, and kept expecting physical
manifestations of My goodness, rather than the essential,
spiritual ones, like the Jews kept (and keep) expecting a physical
Messiah, not a spiritual One... You had to learn that what you
were looking for was not found in the flesh, but in the Spirit.
That's where the simple solution lies, and where joy is found: in
the Spirit. My Spirit is all you need.
It's finding that vacuum, that inner aching void, that empty space
in you for Me to fill, in which happiness and fulfillment is found,
because how can something be filled or fulfilled unless it's
emptied first of the undesirable - or less desirable things that are
usurping the place of the essential? Your desires for carnal and
physical things had to go and be let go of, first, before there was
room, a place and space in you for Me to fill, that's what letting
go and forsaking all is all about and what it means and amounts
to.
Let go of the things you think you need and let Me give you that
which you truly need.
591 __________________________________________________
"From whence come wars...? Even of your lusts that war in
your members" (James 4:1). In the case of nationalism it's the
lust of wanting to believe that "what's mine, is right." You
automatically assume that just because you happen to have been
born in a certain country, "your" country, it automatically makes
it something "good" and more special. Just like your interests,
your hobbies, your ministries and your ways of doing things are
the best... It's simply pride, glorying in the flesh.
The majority of American Christians are Americans primarily, and
Christians secondarily, which isn't being much of a Christian at
all, because either you follow in My footsteps as a pilgrim and
stranger in this world, or you might as well forget about the
whole thing and stop pretending you're something you're not.
Being proud of your country and at the same time professing to
be a Christian is hypocrisy, because it's like claiming to be
fighting for one side while advertising the Enemy at the same
time. It's treason.
If you're a nationalist, you worship the flesh, you're bound to
carnal ties, and you've been duped by the Enemy to fall into the
pride of life, instead of having been freed by My truth and My
the wicked nations of this world at the same time! You're either
 My Word shows you the world through My eyes, as I see it,
without the bias you acquire and accumulate from the world and
its vibes.
Even the things painful for you are good for you, because they
separate you from the world. The process of sanctification is a
process of separation. I take you apart from the rest, and
consecrate you unto Me. You are Mine. Receive it as an act of My
love in which I am drawing you closer to My bosom and into My
arms. I cannot do so, unless I take you apart from the world, for
we oppose each other.
The Devil is trying to make the world look friendly and not so
bad, but remember that he is the usurper trying to take My place
as ruler over My creation, and while he's in charge, you simply
cannot feel at home in this world.
A warrior and a fighter for Me is determined as such by his
battles against the enemy. But it's important that you discern
who is your enemy, and who isn't, and one of the tricks of your
Enemy is to try to get you to blame and attack someone else, to
focus your anger on someone else. He has tried this many times
by causing division and causing you to become upset at one
another. If he doesn't succeed at that, he tries to create other
"enemies" for you to focus your attention on, all the while
preparing another attack.
It pays to be alert to the Devil's tricks and not fall for his bluffs.
Sometimes you don't come to Me because you think "What else
can He possibly tell me? What new revelations could there
possibly be?" Well, it doesn't always have to be a brand new,
spectacular revelation, but I can always set your view straight &
show you which things to focus on, and what tricks the Enemy is
up to, just getting you through life, clearly seeing the truth and
the path ahead, in today's dark and confusing world; and the
world will see in you a living bible, a walking, breathing, talking,
singing bible. You are the book I write, and the words I'm giving
you are merely a help and a tool toward the real work that is
being written here, in a language that will never cease.
You now know in part, and prophesy in part. When I, the Perfect
One will come, that which is in part will be done away with. There
will be no more need for these things that are incomplete. That's
why you must focus on a greater goal. Shoot far, for a horizon
that is higher than the one you've been able to see thus far. The
goal is not all these little things, which are in part, incomplete,
they're only means to a much greater end, and you've got to
constantly look at Me in order to be able to see that greater end,
the goal.
593 __________________________________________________
I made people in My own image, and one of My qualities is
that I like to surprise you, and it's a quality I have passed on to
My children: the ability to surprise you and come up with
qualities about them you wouldn't have expected, the ability to
touch your heart and become more valuable to you than you ever
might have expected. The treasure chest at the end of the
rainbow is quite often discovered right at home in the very heart
of someone you might have taken for granted. That's the kind of
surprises I like to make: You can travel the whole wide world in
search of your treasure, and then you return tired and weary and
find it right at home, where it was hidden right before your very
eyes all along...
It boils down to the discovery that loving your neighbor as
thyself and loving Me with all your heart and might, those 2 great
commandments, aren't really 2 separate things, but can virtually
wind up being one and the same thing, which is why I said,
"inasmuch as ye have done it unto the least of these, ye have
done it unto Me." And one of My greatest ways of conveying My
love to you is through another human being, so, it can easily be
that you're going to find Me right there, in the heart of another
person.
594 __________________________________________________
In My book, it's not only okay to be a "nobody," but it's
actually desirable. The world may despise nobodies, but when all
is said & done they'll realize they just haven't been looking out
for the right things; the right things & right kind of folks were
right under their noses all along, but they simply chose to ignore
them...
595 __________________________________________________
Little thoughts and words are just as important and
significant as great big deeds and actions, they're just as real,
and have equal impact on your life. Your little daily interactions
and conversations with little people are just as important to the
general outcome of your day as the seemingly more important
exchange of communication with "big," important people.
It's because there is no such thing as "unimportant." - Or at least,
there's a big difference between what I'd call important and that
which most people would. You really only live fully when you've
learned to appreciate the little things as well, have learned to be
content with them, to take them just as seriously as the "big"
things.
Learning to determine and distinguish between what is really
important is one of the major lessons in life, and many people are
failing at it pitifully.
Devotion to the little things is what marks and distinguishes a
great man.
Don't forget to live, with all your busy-ness and accomplishing
things. Don't forget to try to make life as pleasant as you can for
your fellowman, those I have entrusted in your care.
Refusing to look at the "hole in the donut" is the only way to go
through life successfully. You've got to appreciate what you have
and what you are; it's the only solid ground on which you can
ever build more, for if you only focus on what you don't have and
what you're not, then you're sunk. It's like fighting a losing battle,
because you don't believe in yourself, your cause - or even in the
fact that I love and care for you. When you know that I'm on your
side and care for you, that your life is well cared for and safe in
My hands, then you can trust that things are okay the way they
are, even if ideally there could be more favorable circumstances.
The art is, when you aim and shoot for your goal on the distant
horizon in your quest to "find your dream," not to forget that the
place from which you get there is your present position. Your
here and now is what's going to get you there, and it's an
essential part of the plan and of the whole picture.
The present is the only place from which to reach the future. And
thus, what you make of your present (the gift of your being)
determines your future. "Despise not the day of small things."
Here and now, with all its little problems to deal with, is the
foundation on which you're building that which is to be.
Treasure every moment, and live it fully. Cussing shows that
you're not happy with the present, in this situation where you
are. You wish it were different, and you can't take it with grace as
from My hand; you can't trust Me for that moment, that I knew
what I was doing in giving it to you. You think you're in "the
wrong film" or that something must have gone wrong for you to
have wound up in that situation, that certainly I must have made
a mistake, or your whole life was out of control to begin with.
All that is what the Enemy would like to have you believe in order
for you to take on a defeatist attitude, and to get you to give up.
"Give up! It's no use! Why keep on fighting? You don't stand a
chance anyway!" And sometimes the only answer that comes to
your mind, when he asks you "why keep on fighting," is
"because I choose to." You choose not to give up, not to
surrender to him, that's your choice and your determination, and
that's what's going to give you the victory, ultimately. You've got
to know right from the very start, no matter how unpleasant the
situation, no matter how much you feel tempted to wish you were
somewhere else - or somebody else - that I'm in control, I'm right
there with you, so there's got to be a reason for it all, and there's
got to be some sense to it, and contrary to all it looks like, this is
going to be for your good.
Whenever a situation looks bad and the Enemy tries to get you to
moan about it, you've got to realize that that's a lie. There is no
such thing as a "bad" situation for My children, My brides, in
whose lives I am very painstakingly involved. There may be some
situations that may look like bad situations, or they potentially

I've got to show you what's really happening. If you don't
spend this time with Me, you just don't see it. You've got to pick
up your daily portion of manna! I am the Bread of Life. Come and
eat Me, consume Me, taste & see that I am good.
What could be more valuable than this time with Me? What sort
of accomplishment could take the place of communion and
communication with Me?
It's not My trip, that you've got to accomplish, accomplish,
accomplish, or you can't stand to live with yourself... In fact, it
rather looks like the Enemy's tactic to Me: "Keep'em busy! Too
busy to get into talking with the Head-honcho, before He's going
to let them in on what I'm up to!"
Don't let the Enemy distract you with busy-ness, don't let him
keep you busy, busy, busy, too busy for Me and what I've got to
say to you. No way of taking care of My business if you're too
busy for Me.
Your No. 1 responsibility should be Me. You should most of all be
concerned about Me and My will for you every day, and finding
out what I want from you.
When you cling desperately to Me, when you don't dare to make
a move without Me, you learn to do things in My strength and
power instead your own.
Your most important accomplishment is your time with Me! The

So, let Me be your breakfast every morning! Let Me fill and satisfy
your spiritual hunger every morning, before you get into anything
else, & all the rest will fall into place. You'll have My anointing, My
Spirit, My vision and My strength & stamina to do it, My plan and
My viewpoint of things, and you'll be much better equipped for
whatever the day may bring!

Pain is a part of love; it's part of the price of love. What
challenge is there in loving only under favorable conditions? The
true art of loving is to love in spite of the pain. It's learning to
forgive constantly and not to harden your heart, but to embrace
the pain and accept it willingly.
605 __________________________________________________
Success, in My eyes, is not the aspiration to fame, popularity
and fortune, but acquiring the ability to value the little things.
Success, to Me, is winning a soul; not in order to make yourself
feel "good" or redeemed to Me by your good deed of winning the
soul, but just because you've learned to allow My Spirit to
perform that miracle through you!
To Me, success means learning to put your own energies on the
backburner and learn to avail yourself of Mine! Flesh energy
usually exists in order to further its own cause. The things that
are achieved by the energies of the flesh are things that usually
serve for the flesh to put itself in the limelight or ensure its own
survival and prosperity.
Learning to apply My energy enables you to act out of unselfish
motivations, out of concern for others.
True love goes forward in order to make My voice and My Words
heard. Success means making sure that people hear what I've
got to say, making sure you're passing on My Words. Success, to
Me, is not speaking unless you're spoken through by Me.
Show them the way I really am.
I'd love for you to stop pursuing that worldly ideal of success
altogether! My idea of success is in many ways the exact
opposite of the way they're being taught. They're pursuing the
wrong goals, following the wrong ambitions!
Your previous idea and concept of success has been wrong!
Financial affluence is not nearly as reliable an indicator that
you're on My path or successfully following Me as is the amount
of people you manage to witness to and the amount of souls you
win.
I will bless you more, the more emphasis you will put on the
things that I consider important! Remember what you're here for
and what life as a disciple of Mine is all about; about witnessing;
about winning others! Stop being so concerned about yourselves
and about your own survival! That's none of your concern, that's
Mine, providing you do the job I am calling and sending you to!
Success, in My eyes, is obedience!
Your calling is to turn around and go the completely other way!
People will only follow your call and challenge for them to turn
around, if you have turned around yourself, and are going the
opposite way of the main stream!
The first step of success is learning to listen to Me, and then the
next step is obedience, to implement those things. What could be
more important than that?
To be obedient to Me means to love Me, and that's fulfilling the
first and greatest commandment, and that's what I call success!
606 __________________________________________________
People underestimate the spirit world and its impact on their
lives.
When things are wrong, you've got to address and face them,
deal with them, you can't just ignore them, or they'll get worse.
It requires a certain amount of courage and willingness to face
the truth. It's easy to see the culprit over there, on the other side
or how the Devil is working in the lives of others, but it's always
hard to have to face what he's up to in one's own life. But if even
I - having no sin - had to deal with him, then I'm afraid, you, My
followers, won't get around having to deal with him, either!
There are a lot of negative and not-so-nice factors about a war,
and it won't help just closing your eyes and ignoring them!
Wounds, as ugly as they may be, have to be attended to!
Problems need to be dealt with. Evil has to be exposed.
Whenever you see a need, take care of it! Attack!
607 __________________________________________________
Thanks for allowing Me to assume the role of the Boss in
your life. It's not exactly human nature to render everything to an
invisible God Who demands things that go contrary to everything
your flesh tells you. The flesh yells for self-preservation, and I'm
calling you to give it up, to let go. The flesh demands self-
glorification, but I say, "Uh-uh! Give it to Me!"
Thank you for choosing the path of My Spirit! I know how difficult
it is. The flesh keeps trying to make its comeback, so, thank you
for persevering, for being faithful in keeping that heavenly vision
and focus on the things that really count and last, that I bring into
your life! Thank you for appreciating My gifts.
Thank you for being a vessel of My love! Thank you for being a
recipient for My Words and seeds of love!
608 __________________________________________________
Learn to avail yourself of My power to change things!
It's in your nature to be quick to accept your fate and resign to
the circumstances that are being handed to you without ever
trying to change them. It's one thing to be "content in whatsoever
state you're in," but you'll also find that the apostles didn't
always resign to their fates either. And being content in your
state still doesn't stop you from altering the circumstances or
praying for Me to alter them if it's My will.
It wasn't My will that they stayed in prison forever. Usually you'll
find that according to your faith it will be done unto you,
according to your faith in My ability to change your
circumstances. All it depends on is, do you want Me to change
your circumstances? Then let Me know!
It's easier than you think, for you to change your circumstances,
all it often takes is your choice to want to have them changed!
The small affairs of life sometimes don't seem important enough
for you to stir yourself up about them to call on Me concerning
them. That's why I'm trying to drive home to you the importance
of little things. Don't neglect them by failing to pray for them.
Little things amount to greater results, so you can achieve
greater results by praying for the little things and their outcome,
not just passively resigning to the way they are, but doing
something, namely pray, in order to change them.
You resign to the fact that, "oh, well, maybe that's the way it's got
to be." But I'd say it's too early to say that, when you haven't
even availed yourself yet of the power of prayer. The power of
prayer is the main power I'd like you to avail yourself of.
Otherwise, it's like running merely on the power of your own
rechargeable 9 Volt battery, when you could avail yourself of My
full and constant 230 Volt.
My power is available and helpful and useful for more things than
just recharging your own little battery. You can also save on your
own energy resources by plugging into My power & letting Me do
the work for you.
Avail yourself more of that power & put it to work for you more,
especially in the little day to day things of life.
Nothing's too unimportant for Me. The question is, how important
are they to you? Important enough to stir yourself up about them
to call Me up about them?
609 __________________________________________________
You cannot serve God and Mammon: one of the 2 voices will
always gain the upper hand. They won't jibe. They're always
fighting for lordship and the first position in your lives. The
Enemy will try to get you entangled and under his yoke and in the
bonds of his slavery. He will try all kinds of tricks & use all kinds
of pressure to get you trapped in his "snare of the fowler." You
are My free songbirds, and he's trying to catch you to lock you
up in one of his cages! Guard the freedom I have blessed you
with!
One can lose the life they were given, if they don't guard it well,
both, the physical life, as well as the flame of the spiritual life,
which Satan constantly tries to snuff out.
Guard that flame & always keep it well fueled!
St. Francis said toward the end of his life, "We haven't done
anything yet." You can always do more. There's always more you
could accomplish, some more progress to be made, some
ground to be won.
You've just got to do something for those blessings. What you do
is what makes the difference.
610 __________________________________________________
The more of a somebody you are, the more concerned you
usually are about your impression you leave on others, your
"image" with them, your reputation, your popularity...
Always seeking the attention and recognition of far-away and
unknown people also estranges you to the ones around you, who
are fully aware of you and your presence, yet sometimes
wondering why you're so far away, or where you are at all. It's a
typical case of daydreaming about the greener grass on the other
side of the fence, instead of enjoying what you've got right here
and now. That typical mental scenario of envy, in which
everybody else has always got the better deal, and "man, you're
really missing out on it," that the Devil tries to weave in so many
minds. Instead of living fully in the present and enjoying the here
and now, he causes you to chase after some fairy-tale future, not
realistic, but effective enough to distract you from all that you
could find at hand.
Part of the real thing is the very reality around you, the one that
folks so often try to escape from. Those make-believe realities
sound so much more interesting than your own.
When was the last time you have attempted to combine your
mundane reality with the real thing of the endless vastness of My
Spirit, in order to find your ultimate purpose in it? Why seek
fulfillment in the distance, when heaven's right next door?
True inspiration is hardly ever recognized by your fellowmen
during your life-time, that's just one of the things about the world
and the way it is. Some will be recognized as saints as soon as
they're dead, with others, it might take centuries, but what does
that tell you about seeking glory and honor with people? It's a
pretty vain effort. Talking about beating the air or chasing the
wind!
That's why truly mature persons find no real difference between
success and failure: the results - as far as the world is concerned
- may be the same. You may have been truly successful at what
you're doing, but the world couldn't care less. All they're
interested in is whether what you've got appeals to them &
manages to satisfy that temporary craving & itching for
something new...
Truly mature people rejoice in their failures because they know
they will draw them closer to Me, closer to wisdom. They will
have made yet one more experience to enrich them, to help them
know in which direction the success they seek won't be found,
and will thus bring them one step closer to ultimate success.
Even if not achieved in their lifetimes (for truly mature people
won't be concerned about the personal glory), they know they'll
have laid the foundations for others to walk that path... Even if
the vast majority totally ignores their achievements, they will
know that there will be one or two who will pick up where they
left off, and they will use that path they have hewn into the
thicket of the world in order to explore that new terrain, that new
dimension that they knew was there all along, although they
themselves may never have seen it with their own eyes.
Remember what true success is all about. It's not all the hype
that the Devil and the world are making out of it. It's something
more - though at the same time less. Something less loud and
instead more profound. It's often something invisible that can't
be quite pinpointed. It's something spiritual. How about aiming
for spiritual success?
611 __________________________________________________
The goal is not to totally abandon physical affairs, but to let
the spiritual have dominion over them, to allow Me to rule over
that physical realm in your life. But because the flesh strives
against the spirit for superiority I'm having to remind you of that
constantly, to give the spiritual - Me - priority.
The flesh and its affairs cry "me first!" but I gently remind you to
continue giving Me the first place.
It takes a while until people slow down & cease from all their
running around and acquiring and achieving, in order to realize
that there is something more. They realize with all they
accomplished they're still not truly happy, that there still must be
something more.
That's why it's important that you learn the superiority of the
spirit over the physical, so that you can teach them the secret. It
may be hard to learn, and it takes patience. But patience is just
one of the many spiritual blessings you obtain when you learn to
put Me and My affairs first.
Most folks start out very impatient, when they want to achieve
their goals. But once they get there, they slow down to take time
for things and people they used to ignore before, when they were
still so busy beating the air.
I seek to be loved as a father wishes to be loved by his children,
and more; I wish to be loved as a Husband is loved by His bride.
It's so important that you become a living example of that love!
Your relationship with Me and our love for each other should
permeate your very being, and should be what people notice
about you. Always let Me shine through your eyes, your words,
your gestures & acts & deeds of love & kindness.
612 __________________________________________________
You have to deny your old self, the old man, that about which
Dad said, "You are a new creature, yes, but boy, how that old man
likes to pop up again." It's the old man, your carnal man, which is
at enmity with God, whom you must deny access to your system,
the place from which you govern your life, like an old operating
system that doesn't want to give up its realm easily, although it
has already been replaced by a new and better one.
Of course, the Enemy actively tries to install the old system
again, your old ways of doing things, your old habits, or the old
ways of the flesh sometimes in a new disguise.
The old self is all about taking and getting. The new man, the
new creature, is all about giving. The old man is negative, the
new man is positive. Once you're born again and you have
learned to let Me empty you of all the old things and then fill you
with My new and good things, the input that will cause you to
give instead of constantly having you concerned about getting
more, acquiring more, consuming and accumulating, which was
the game of the old man, then you can learn to embrace your new
man, My spiritual creation that is you, and you don't have to
continue denying that. That's where you must learn to accept
that I'm doing something with that person which is you, and you
mustn't continue putting it down. Once I start using you, that's
where the Devil comes in and starts reminding you of all your old
and besetting sins and tells you it's useless, or you're useless,
that I could never use you. That's what condemnation basically
amounts to.
But that's where grace then comes in, and My power to use you
in spite of any flaws. So, once you have learned to deny your old
self, that old selfish man you were, you also have to learn to
embrace and welcome the new creature I want to make you, and
it doesn't mean that you have to continue putting yourself
down...
Once you can be confident that it's Me there, at the very core and
center of you, then you can also trust in Me, right there at that
center, and that My power in you has taken over, and you don't
constantly have to continue to belittle or doubt yourself or to put
yourself down. When you have become My creature, then it's
okay to accept that person, and not deny him the very right to be.
You cannot keep accusing the one whom I have already justified.
That's why it's then important to not keep looking for Me
somewhere far away and far apart from you, but you can find Me
right at the very center of your being, in your heart, the place you
invited Me to come into when you received Me and asked Me to
save you from your sin, your old man, and I did. I came in and
have been living there ever since. That's why you can live from
your center from then on, and you don't have to roam about the
fringes anymore, the outer and superficial things. You have Me in
you! I am your new Center! I am the new Operating System or
Program that's there now at the core of your "machine," the
complex creation of what is you.
I'm not off in space somewhere, far away and hard to reach, but
right there at the very core and center of your being, inseparable
from you. That's why nothing, no high or low could ever separate
you from the love of God, because it's right within you, very
deep, right where I've planted it. Right where you allowed My key,
My seed, to merge with your inner lock, and it has long taken root
there since then, has been activated and has started to bear it's
fruit and change your system.
I am a very deeply integrated and inseparable part of you, the
heart and center from which you've got to live.
I've never been far away, but right here all along...
It does take some skill to differentiate between what is My input
and what comes from your old self or the Enemy, and some folks
underestimate that danger, and are a little too confident in their
own opinions, but then there are folks who tend to go the
opposite way and doubt themselves too much. In either case,
you're not truly living from the center. In the first, because you
allow some carnal input or input from the Enemy to pose as
Mine; in the second, because you deny My presence in you.
The Source of living words of wisdom right within you is the
Comforter, "Who will bring all things to your remembrance," My
Spirit in you.
It's tough when people only listen to their minds, their carnal
reasoning, and are so convinced that they couldn't possibly err
or be mistaken, that they don't take the time to go into the depths
of consulting Me. But "living out of your true center" means not
to be misled by those superficial voices from the fringes - your
carnal mind and other voices, but to be led by My Voice.
It's right here, in your own center, your own heart. That's where I
live, that's where I am, and you don't have to look very far at all to
find Me!
613 __________________________________________________
Humility means admitting your own wrong, even when it
seems that the finger isn't pointed at you quite in a justified
manner. Once you've got that kind of humility, then unity will also
come more easily.
Search your heart for things you might have done that may have
not been engendering unity...
When you try to fix things in the flesh and in your own strength &
wisdom, the outcome may improve temporarily, but the final
outcome may still not be the best, necessarily. Whereas, if you
commit a matter into My hands, you can always rest assured that
the final outcome will be according to My will, and thus the best
possible option there is, regardless of what it may seem like
temporarily.
Sometimes you don't need to do anything else but pray & trust.
You commit the matter into My hands and then leave it there, and
I promise, you won't be disappointed.
Nothing will ever get you as far as if you let Me do it for you.
That's why I delight to let you get into situations where you're at
wit's end and you don't have a clue what you're supposed to do
about it: I want you to learn the obvious, the inevitable: it has
come to that; you're just going to have to trust Me! I'm trying with
all My might to convince you that prayer is more than just a last
resort when all else has failed! Prayer isn't the last thing you
should do, but the first, and if things aren't what they should be,
then chances are that the main culprit is the fact that you haven't
prayed!
More often than not, it is true, the guilt and the blame lies with
you, although the atrocity you committed may have been none
other but that you didn't pray!
Quit trying to do things better than I can. Just let Me do it for you!
Let Me fix it for ya!
614 __________________________________________________
Part of maturing is to recognize one's errors.
Truth is found by receiving Me.
Being a Christian means to live in Me and have Me live in you.
When you live from that center, which is Me in you, then you walk
on the right path, and you don't have to be so distracted by all
that's on the outer fringes, the isms and schisms and doctrines
about your belief, which are putting skin on your religion or faith,
but are not necessarily the essence of it. Many people get
distracted by their own doctrines and miss the essence of it.
They get so distracted by the many "don'ts" involved in their
belief system that they neglect the "dos." Or they focus so much
on the factors about their belief that oppose the doctrines of
other beliefs that they never find any common ground & thus
neglect the essence of My whole teaching, which is to love
others, instead of living in a life-long quarrel or even at war with
them...
I have given no one a perfect blue print of the truth, but leave it
up to everyone to discover it with My help throughout their lives.
615 __________________________________________________
Make it a duty to pray over things. If there's one thing you
should be truly prayerful about, it's your words.
It's not always wise to be so utterly outspoken. Some things
would better remain unspoken, while they still may be the truth.
Pray before you say or write, and don't forget: less is more.
616 __________________________________________________
Everybody's faith works differently, and everybody's needs
are different. There isn't one universal medicine that cures all ills.
Although you might say in general that My Word is the universal
medicine, or My Power, yet how that Word or Power manifests for
each, individually, varies from case to case.
It's a part of My "service" and care for you. I like to serve you,
that's part of My love for you! Allow Me to take care of you.
617 __________________________________________________
The times you stumble draw you closer to Me. You can't be a
perfect sample at all times, and those who want to find salvation
through you and others like you will also sometimes have to find
that it's "through forgiving that we obtain pardon," as Francis
said. People expect Christians to be perfect, but nobody is. I
didn't come to call the perfect to repentance, but the sinners. The
healthy ones don't need a doctor, but the sick do.
The inability to see one's own sin is a much curse than all other
sins combined, and one sure way of learning to recognize your
own sins is through dealing with and confronting those faults in
others, too, and forgiving them for them... learning to accept sin
as a natural thing that you're simply having to live with in this
dispensation of grace. After all, without sin, there wouldn't be
any need for grace, and "where sin abounds, grace does much
more abound." That's why some of My greatest saints have
usually also been some of the greatest sinners. No one loves
quite like a forgiven sinner.
Sinning keeps you humble. It's not like I'm advertising sin, but
I'm trying to encourage you & help you not to feel too bad about
it (Ps.37:24).
If you wouldn't make any mistakes, there wouldn't be half as
much for Me to talk to you about. You see how your sins,
shortcomings & failures draw you closer to Me? You want to
learn how to do better, and that's basically what healing,
learning, growing and salvation is all about: that void, that need
to grow, that emptiness. You have a need for Me when you're not
perfect, when you realize you failed, when you need help to see,
when you realize you really don't know much of anything...
It shows once again that you can't do it without Me, and, well,
that's basically what life is all about. Sometimes it may look as if
you can, and some people may even believe and be convinced
they're doing perfectly fine without My interference or help, but
latest when man will have made an irreparable mess out of
things, it will become obvious that it was just an illusion, and
"no, you're not doing fine without Me!"
At least not according to My rules and My book. There's way too
much hurting going on, too much destruction... too much
injustice… way too much suffering. The rich may think, "why,
everything's just fine as it is." But I see the suffering of the poor,
and I say, "no, it isn't." Just because a rich minority is doing fine
doesn't mean that everything's fine.
That's just no way, as far as I'm concerned, to be ignoring the
plight of the poor, and the fate of those who haven't been as
richly blessed. That's not "doing fine" by My account.
618 __________________________________________________
To be or not to be - in tune, and on the right track or channel
- this is the question. To share or not to share? To be or not to be
a blessing...
Always be ready to give an answer to anyone who should ask
you about the source of that joy. Pass on what you've gained.
Sooner or later, when the fruit becomes evident, people will
listen. Whenever there's a need, do what you can in order to fill it.
All I could do was sow the seed. Where do you sow the seed? Do
you sow it in areas where there are already fruitful stalks or
wheat & ears of grain growing? No. You sow them on the vacant
spots, where there isn't much growing yet. And you don't sow
seed where folks are already busy harvesting, either.
Have you proven yourself to be a trustworthy source of new
seeds? Did what you delivered in the past bring forth good fruit?
Sometimes you look at your life and wonder. That's why I said, let
it grow until harvest time, and then we'll see whether it's good or
bad.
The Family is like a small, fruitful nation with barren and
unfruitful or uncultivated areas in it. You happen to be in one of
those less fruitful areas, and so you're tempted to see the Family
as sometimes rather lacking.
Trust Me, that I will supply for My Family exactly what it needs,
just as I have supplied what you needed, individually. I take care
of My Family's needs.
So, "let your light so shine". What the world needs is a sample of
the living words, being lived and enacted by you, a "Bible in shoe
leather."
Rejoice that I have so richly blessed you with these streams of
riches that never run dry, wealth beyond measure, spiritually.
One day the world will recognize. It's all a matter of seeing, and
of wanting to see. Those who think they see already have less of
a desire for new ways of seeing. Remind yourself and others of
the need to learn to see - to see new things, to see Me in others,
to see what before you couldn't see.
Before you're ready to pass it on, you've got to have it inside
yourself. You've got to live it, be a sample not a sermon. Pass it
on in processed form, via the life it creates in you, not the raw
material of more mere words. What is really needed is someone
who takes it and puts it into action - really lives it.
These writings are not an end in itself, but a means to an end.
They're to help you to live better and better fulfill your purpose,
do your job for Me more efficiently.
As far as the flak you're getting, remember that that's what I've
had to go through Myself, and the servant is not above the
Master. It's the acid test of whether you're really capable of
applying and putting into practice that which you've been
reading, of seeing Me where you wouldn't want to see Me, of
loving even your enemies, etc. It's the proof of the pudding, of
whether it just goes in one ear and out the other, or whether it
really makes a difference.
Just like I didn't take the sponge soaked in vinegar & gall to ease
My pain on the cross, you should follow My sample and not seek
easy relief or a way out of the suffering, the hardship. You've got
to go through the pain and embrace the full taste of it in order for
it to fulfill its ultimate purpose. There's no shortcut to glory.
619 __________________________________________________
One of the greatest dilemmas of mankind in My opinion are
those who deem themselves righteous enough to judge others.
No one is 100% righteous. Everyone is guilty of sin. The question
is, whose sin bears greater weight? Who comes to Me for
forgiveness? Who trusts in their own righteousness & refuses
My forgiveness?
These are the criteria by which I measure whether anyone is truly
righteous or not, and blessed are those who judge not another.
Those who justify themselves condemn themselves with their
own mouth (Job 9:20). Those who quietly ponder their own sin
and rely on My mercy, are they who are justified by Me.
I will righteously judge those who self-righteously judge you!
620 __________________________________________________
If you pray more in the things you do, you'll find that it's
never going to be time wasted. In fact, "time spent in prayer, is
time saved."
So, if you want to save time, instead of wasting it, keep praying.
Because in prayer I can show you what to do that's really going
to accomplish something.
Let Me do it through you, whatever you do.
Stop to pray and get ahold of My wavelength, instructions, boost
of inspiration and Spirit power.
621 __________________________________________________
When you're doing better than most, or you already did so
much good, you tend to be content with that, and you tend to rest
on your laurels, and those who have already received Me in their
hearts so long ago sometimes fail to hear My voice and My
knockings, because they've already got it all. It's hard to see all
that you're still missing when you've already got it all. It's
humbling to look at the vast amount of things you don't really
have a clue about when I've already endowed you with so much
knowledge and truth. It's harder to see your failures when you've
already accomplished so much. That's a dilemma with the world,
who think they know so much, when it's so little compared to
what's there to know, but it also happens to My children, because
it's simply human nature to want to pat yourself on the back &
go, "What do you mean, by implementing I'm missing it? I've
been doing it all along." It's illustrated in the fact that Christians
and religious people, those who ought to know better, have
always been those who were the most ardent resisters of My
voices of truth throughout the ages.
Sometimes I wait for you, My children, to recognize the problem,
and pray for it, to ask Me to do something about it! That's usually
the way I operate: I wait for you to tell Me what to do.
Again, the best thing you can do is pray. You want to change
your life? Pray! You want the Family to change? Pray! Whatever
you want and have the vision and the faith for: pray!
If you want folks to get the point and the heart of the matter, the
best thing you can do is pray for it! You can change the world
through your prayers! In fact, it will be the first sign and proof
that you got the point yourself, too! You can change your attitude, your way of seeing things, you can

625 __________________________________________________
The best attitude to have and the best role for you to assume,
is not so much that of the teacher who knows it all, but of a
humble co-learner. There are definitely a lot of things for you to
learn, and it's not so much that you are the teacher here, but
more like My principal student. There is nothing that will inspire
others to learn the lessons from life, like the sample of someone
doing so: a fellow student who shows his peers and younger
brothers all the things he discovers on their way.
Not in the way of some old know-it-all, but someone young at
heart, and fresh, like them, only just discovering those mysteries
and secrets of life, happy and eager to share them with those on
your path, as they unfold.
Being a spiritual man means always staying a simple child at
heart, an eternal pupil and learner. It's those who think they know
something, who don't really know anything at all; those who
think they already see are the ones who are blind. But as long as
you go through life desperately wanting to learn and see and
discover what life's all about, that's what I would consider
spiritual.
The Spirit quickens and makes alive, that means, it's always
young and moving, never old and stagnant, brittle or
conservative, stuck on the old way of doing things, never resting
on any laurels of yesterday. It takes each new day as an
opportunity for a new beginning: "This is the first day of the rest
of your life." Make each day as if it were the first day of a new
period of your life, and it is, because it's a different period than
the past. It's the present: the beginning of the future, where you
can do all things differently than you ever did them before.
As long as there's still room in your life for improvement, as long
as your life isn't perfect yet, you should always be openly
welcoming change and that wonderful opportunity to learn how
to do things differently than in the past, to see things from a
totally new angle, and just let each day be a new learning
experience, a new episode, almost like the beginning of a whole
new life.
Break out of the cocoon of the old! Experience My newness. Let
Me renew you, your vision, your concepts, your outlook, your
whole being.
To be "transformed by the renewing of your minds" is something
you have to experience every day in order to find My good and
acceptable and perfect will for you every day (Rom.12.2). Let Me
"reincarnate" in you every day, to make your life a radical force of
change for Me. Don't get stuck in any old mindsets, even if you
"already have the truth." Good for you! But what is the truth that I
want to teach you today? What is the lesson, the metanoia, the
revelation for this day? This day, I can make all things new. This
day, things will never have to be the same they used to be! This
day, I can work in your life in a way I never have before, if you
determine to let Me. This day can be the first day of not only the
rest of your life, but of a brand new life altogether, with brand
new prospects, aspects and perspectives, a brand new outlook,
brand new horizons, visions, goals, methods... all depending on
how open you are for Me and My changes, My Grace!
Don't stop the flow of My power in your life. It's like breathing, a
process in which you constantly inhale and exhale My Spirit, as
the life-giving power that will sustain your spirit, just as oxygen
keeps you alive in the physical.
You can be constantly renewed with heavenly fresh air and new
whiffs of My Spirit (Tit.3:5).
I bring new concepts, new perspectives, new pictures &
illustrations to your mind to give you a renewed vision.
Allow yourself to experience Me to the fullness of your
capacities! Don't limit yourself to trickles of My Spirit when there
are literally oceans to revel in! I give you My power to overcome
all things, even death! Live in that conscience, that assurance, in
that vocation, that calling, that destiny! Play the role I have
created you to perform!
If the Son hath made you free, you shall be free indeed! Grant Me
the permission to exercise My power in you to the full! Please
don't limit Me! Why settle for less, when you can have so much
more?
How much I desire for you to fully let Me partake of your life! Let
Me refill you again! Let Me save you again and again from the
death of this life! There's so much more you haven't even begun
yet to experience, to taste, to see and feel and hear and see, and
to breathe with every breath you take! Breathe Me in!
Don't get stuck on trying to preserve what you've got, but open
wide for the floods to come!
626 __________________________________________________
Some are just not interested in finding out what I have to say
to shut up long enough to listen. The "god" they communicate
with is just an extension of their egos, something they wish for
Me to be. That happens to a lot of self-righteous people. That's
why I said in My Word that I would have to say to a lot of people
who claim to have been doing this and that in My name, "I never
knew you." They never knew Me, and I never knew them. All they
thought they knew was a figment of their imaginations, an
extension of their own desires & what they figured I ought to be.
Very few - in comparison - actually really want to know Me. I'm
too scary, too strange, too different for most of them. That's why
there are millions of Christians who reject the true prophets.
They just use Me as a label they associate with, but they don't
really have much of a clue Who I really am.
627 __________________________________________________
It's good to define every once in a while what it is you want.
Sometimes it's good to remind yourself also of what you don't
want, so that you can forsake those things.
When there's a choice and an option for an easier way out, and
yet My brides choose the less promising, the less visible way, the
way of faith, of emptiness, the way of foregoing, sacrificing and
forsaking, because they know in Me they will find a much greater
happiness, that makes Me so happy.
How easily can you resist the temptation? How badly do you
really want Me, and nothing else matters?
How much do you avail yourself of Me, and how much do you
still depend on other crutches? Can you let go of those crutches
voluntarily, or will I have to take them away? How much are you
really willing to "give it all to Me"? How much do you really
"surrender"? How real am I to you, how relevant? To what extent
am I your priority? Am I really taking first place in your life? Am I
really the No.1 remedy for any lacks and troubles in your life?
How quickly do you come to Me for every need, or do you first try
to find relief in something else? Am I your last resort, or the One
you turn to first?
These are questions you should ask yourself periodically to find
out where you stand, how sincere and how serious you are about
your service for Me, what it really is you want, and whether
you're truly giving your all for Me. Is there more you could give?
Are you seeking with all your heart to make some progress
today?
Even if you think, "Well, I'm certainly spending more time in the
Word than most other folks I know," how much more time do you
spend on some other activity, in comparison to the time you truly
spend with Me or for Me? Will you be found wanting? Could there
have been more that you could have done, when you assess all
that you did, at the end of your day, or at the end of the year, or at
the end of your life?
It's not about all you've already gained, nor about the progress
you already made, but how much there is yet to make. If you have
reached one goal, what is your next? Have you reached any goal
at all? And what are your goals? What is it you really want? What
is it you'd like to accomplish and achieve, and is that which you
would like to achieve truly something you would want to achieve
for Me? Are you sure it's not just something your own ambition
drives you to do, but is it truly the humble thing, and the thing I
ask of you?

636 __________________________________________________
The voyage away from “Eden,“ the cozy haven you’ve had
here with Me before evil entered your world, (speaking
metaphorically now), is part of your destiny, part of your life-
lesson, part of the program and part of My plan for you.
This life wasn’t meant to be altogether pleasant, as much as you
seek pleasure in it. Look how and where Moses died: in the
wilderness, unable to enter the promised land, as a result of his
own mistake. The valuable thing to have gained out of this both
for himself and untold generations to follow is the lesson. It’s
more important and valuable than the pleasure - the temporary,
fleeting pleasure he might have experienced, had I granted him to
enter the promised land. The real Promised Land is not in this
world. Your real and final and ultimate satisfaction, fulfillment,
peace or goal, whatever you may be trying to achieve, won’t be
found in this world or life. This life will always be imperfect,
because I want you to continue to seek the truly Perfect. I don’t
want you to be satisfied with anything this temporal world has to
offer. This world is not your home. I want you to continue seeking
a better place, and ever striving toward that one, ever following
the heavenly vision I give, the fulfillment of which can simply
never be found in this world. So you shouldn’t keep seeking it
here, either.
Sure, you want to make the best out of it, and I also want you to,
but “making the best out of it“ may be 2 different things, when it
comes to My personal view and angle of looking at it, compared
to yours. Your “best“ is always associated with fun and pleasure,
which is always temporal. My ambition for you lies in the eternal:
what can we take along that’s for keeps, the value of which will
last into eternity? The pleasurable moments are only good for
memories that will be shadowed by any tiny moment in Eternity;
merely a drop, compared to the ocean. But the lessons are
something not only you, but untold others after you will benefit
from for ages beyond this one. And the lessons usually come out
of the less pleasant experiences...
Lessons come from battles, from confrontations, from sufferings
and trials, often brought about by your own human weaknesses
and frailties, the very things you often try so hard to avoid. That
which you think is going to be to your disadvantage, that which
you would call a demerit or a minus point, those are actually
often the plus points for Me. It’s a lot like the different views of
My crucifixion: the world views it as a loss, but Here We know it
was the total Victory.
The ultimate Victory over the greatest Enemy ever fought, was
brought about by a seeming defeat. Never forget that, when you
go down an unpleasant road, which may seem like a defeat to
you. Those seeming defeats make you dig down deep in the dirt,
like a man digging a well, and they prime the pump that makes
the heavenly water flow. Heavenly water to refresh generations to
come.
King David hardly thought that the Psalms he wrote would be
such a vast source of inspiration, wisdom and comfort to
generations to come... Yet they were the honey that came forth
from the crushing and twisting of his life, and it has been a
source of comfort beyond all measure to innumerable souls.
There is so much to learn out of all the open books of life - of
lives I’ve written, things which at this time many are not able to
grasp, but they will unfold, and one day it will all be so clear, and
learning won’t be a boring chore, as it may be for many today,
but it’s going to be one endless thrill.
So, continue to move forward, even to this foreign, unexplored
ground, that hostile territory before you, and be confident, that as
I was with Moses, so am I with you, and as I was with David, so
am I with you, so be not afraid of whatever you might encounter
there, but go forth in the spirit of a conqueror. They may win their
temporary victories over you today, only to bow their heads to
you forever hereafter...
The only difference between them and you is that you’re learning
of Me - lessons that totally elude them - you’re seeing, while they
are blind. You hear, while they’re deaf. You perceive, while they
go on in ignorance and oblivious to all that’s really happening.
You move on a different plain, and they can’t grasp it. It’s totally
foreign an alien to them. But keep moving forward anyway.
637 __________________________________________________
You’re longing for comfort and relief, but what you really
need is strength and perseverance, and these are not as easily
obtained, but come through tests of endurance. While it’s true
that My strength is sufficient for thee, that strength is only found
in places of emptiness where you don’t feel like you can keep
going in your own strength at all anymore. That is where My
strength is found, that is sufficient for thee.
I can’t give it to you any other way. There is no shortcut to it, no
easier way to get it. First your own strength must be completely
expired, before you’re finally desperate and empty enough, ready
to receive My strength, which is sufficient for thee. It feels
strange to you, not like enough at all, it’s something you’re not
familiar with, not as familiar as your own flesh, your carnal
strength, and your carnal wisdom and understanding. Only in the
void and absence of all these things are you finally ready for My
strength, that feels so awkward to you... So like nothing. It’s like
walking on air, when before you were walking on solid ground.
“You mean, I’m supposed to trust this?“ You wonder... It’s not
what you’ve been used to, your good old, tangible, carnal
strength, with just a little bit of help from Me.
I’m helping you to learn to grow in My strength, and to avail
yourself of My strength to a greater measure. “My strength is
made perfect in weakness.“ Before, you were relying on My
strength to some extent, but it was never really made perfect,
because there was still too much of your own strength there.
Therefore seek not relief, but seek endurance to see it through.
Rely on My strength, and seek not that old familiar strength. It’s
time to learn to rely on a new strength, which is totally Mine, and
to let go of the familiar old. Let Me prove to you that it’s true, My
strength is sufficient for thee!
638 __________________________________________________
The Enemy never fights you when you’re strong and on top
of things, because he knows he has no chance then. He only
fights you when you’re down and weak, he’s a real coward and
hyena.
One of the best portrayals of the Devil ever is the coward Scar in
‘The Lion King,’ who usurps the true king’s kingdom, has him
killed, and the true king’s son needs to wander off into the
wilderness.
639 __________________________________________________
Focus more on each other’s needs than your own, really
letting go and expecting nothing in return.
Real love, true love will never come back to you void. You already
receive while you give it.
See the opportunity, not just the obstacle.
It’s life, and the hardships it brings, that write these kind of
lessons in your hearts...
640 __________________________________________________
It’s humbling but also liberating when you can say, ‘We have
found the enemy, and it’s us.’
It’s ‘Taking The Blame,’ dealing with the beam in your own eye
(it’s a matter of seeing clearly) and being humble enough to face
your own errors and say the hardest words in any language, ‘I
was wrong.’
It’s a hard and painful way, but that’s the only way some lessons
really stick and hit home. Otherwise, they’re often forgotten too
easily, or only briefly grasped with the mind, and not deeply
absorbed by the heart… life-changing.
The easier way wouldn’t have nearly the same impact. In order to
drive a certain point home, there has to be a vivid illustration of

sermons, but way too few guides who truly show the way by
walking therein themselves first...
The one big difference is the sample factor.
The Family is preparing not only themselves but also others for
what is to come. Instead of kidding themselves into believing that
they still have forever to reach the lost, they heed My warnings in
My Word that time is short, and My advice to ‘redeem the time,
for the days are evil.’
Remember what I said about the Pharisees: ‘Do what they tell
you, but don’t do as they do, since they only say it but don’t do
it.’
The general direction I lead is My direction and to teach folks to
follow My way, which has many different shapes and
manifestations for each separate individual. You can help others
to find theirs by pointing them to Me.
Take them to Me, and I will guide them aright.
647 __________________________________________________
Ambition often keeps people busy, busy, busy, but their
hearts away from Me.
It’s hard for you to learn to let Me work through you, and
sometimes just to be content with the little that you accomplish.
You don’t only witness to others of My Words, My truth & My
gospel, but you’re also there as witnesses of what’s going on.
When I was on earth, I didn’t spend My whole time just
ministering, but actually 90% of the time I spent watching,
observing, learning. You want to learn not just to be a witness
with your mouth, but also through your sample, a living
manifestation of My truth.
That doesn’t mean you have to wait until you’ve reached a
sample of sinless perfection before you ever testify of Me and My
truth to anyone, but I also want to remind you that your purpose
is not only to teach, but also to learn, to observe, sometimes to
just silently witness and do what you can to influence things for
the better. When the final crunch comes, only I will be able to
save the world, and although I’m including all of you, My brides,
in this, it is I Whose purpose it was to destroy the works of the
devil (1.Jn.3:8).
So, sometimes you just have to ‘stand back & see Me fight’ and
learn of Me, look unto Me, listen to Me, receive from Me, absorb
Me. Only when you’ve absorbed Me rightly, can you also convey
Me rightly. It’s not like you know everything there is to know in
one day and then jump out on the streets and pass it on, but you
need to become a vessel yourself, you live and you learn.
I’m not putting you in charge of saving the whole world, I just
want you to do whatever you can to help Me do it! And I’m very
grateful for all the help I can get. Don’t get so preoccupied with
teaching that you lose sight of all there is to learn.
Becoming a saint is not so much determined by what you do as
by what you allow Me to do with you, by how well you take life’s
circumstances gracefully, and just allow Me to break you and
reshape you. It’s not so much in what you do, but what I do with
you and you allow Me to.
If it doesn’t make sense to you, remember that one day it will,
when you’ll see My version of the picture. You can learn from Me,
the Master Artist, by observation; by quietly watching and
studying the method of the Master Teacher.
648 __________________________________________________
Sometimes you don’t understand why I’m keeping you down,
why I’m keeping you weak.
Being nobody may not feel as great to you & not be as appealing
to you, but I’d rather have you battle with feelings of under-
accomplishment and being nobody than indulging in pride and
getting all lifted up over who you are and what you’ve done.
You’re not nobody in My eyes. Consider the respect of the
invisible cloud of witnesses around you as more important than
that of your earthly peers.
There will always come a breakthrough into the light, even after
the darkest night.
Focus on that hope, that dawn that will always be there after a
stretch of darkness. As the days grow darker and more evil, and
the fog thickens, remember that glorious dawn that awaits you.
I’ll be back for you, just like I promised. Faith is the ability to
enjoy that knowledge and act assured of My promises, to be so
sure of the victory that you can almost act as if I had already
come and delivered you.
649 __________________________________________________
You need to seek ways to make My counsel & input work for
you in practical ways. You Look around for ways to implement &
apply it... to live it.
Stand by My side and help Me by doing what you can.
Continue to allow Me to incite you, to get you on fire, to move
you.
‘Enthusiasm’ basically means ‘God inside’ you. Let the world
notice and see that I’m inside you! Let them partake of that glow,
of that fire. Let them warm themselves by your fire! You don’t
have to do anything but burn, ... just be there and give warmth
and light.
650 __________________________________________________
Give people a chance to give Me a chance! I work in all their
lives, and the Father lets the sun shine on all of them, the evil
and the good, and He sends His rain on all. ‘Let it rain!’ Let My
goodness rain on anyone.
Never give up hope in people prematurely.
651 __________________________________________________
When you’ve got nothing to lose, no pride, no prestige, then
you’re free to give to people without fearing what they think of
you.
If you’re weak, needy, hungry & empty & yearning for Me, only
then can I fill you. As long as you’re self-satisfied, your vacuum
for Me is too weak...
The same goes for situations when you don’t know what’s going
to happen next, and you have to trust Me for it: As long as you’re
familiar with your surroundings, and you know exactly where
you’re going & what’s coming next, you can’t rely on Me as well
as in a situation where everything’s open...
I can even use you to reach out & be a blessing to people you
would personally not expect to be able to break through to.
The world needs you to be outgoing, outreaching, outpouring,
not introverted, shy, stuck-on-your-self!
Only if you sow into people’s lives can you reap from them the
fruit of their friendship!

I’m in control, and I’ve got it all in My hands. Your lives are all

Who’s in control of everything, and none of the plans and
devices he concocts can harm you if I don’t allow it, and I won’t

The love of money is the root of all evil (1.Tim.6:10), because
for the love of money people will compromise the truth. For the
love of money people will neglect other, more or equally
important tasks in life, such as their fellowship with Me, and their
care for each other, all in order to gain more money.
Once people covet it, they won’t act out of love, and thus,
missing the mark of acting out of love, they sin.
The love of money can become like an addiction; in fact, it’s
probably the most wide-spread addiction on earth. People are
willing to do almost anything for money. They virtually sell
themselves as slaves to the System in order to get it, and they
will hardly stop short of doing anything for it.
The love of money is My greatest rival. Scarcely a man has been
willing to do the same for Me that he has been willing to do for
money. Money is the one thing the Enemy invented to direct
people’s focus on in order to totally distract them from Me.
Money has been his most successful tool.
Money is the most worshiped item on earth, the most coveted,
the most loved, even though it is only an illusion, for its value is
based on faith in the existing System, instead of Me and My
eternal Kingdom.

‘watch and pray, be vigilant,’ for the Enemy would love to deter
you. For those of Mine who have erred and strayed, I say, ‘this
day, when you hear My voice, harden not your hearts!’
Just as the Enemy will tempt those many times who follow My
path, to cause them to stray, so I give many chances to those
who have strayed, to return to Me. The trick for true, selfless
givers is to remain faithful, not to become weary in well-doing.

There’s no way to live in the Spirit without prayer.
There’s no way to do the Master’s work without the Master’s
power, without spending time with the Master.
Connected with Me. Everything you’re learning must be put into
practice in order to move you forward!
Prayer is the hand that moves the gigantic network of My Realm,
the Spirit World, on your behalf.
In order to make real headway and forward movement and
visible, lasting progress, you’re going to have to commit your
ways unto Me and put your trust in Me, that I will bring those
things that concern you to pass. You’re going to have to trust in
Me to do it for you, instead of vaguely hoping that it might work
out alright, doubting whether I will do it for you or not, and
looking around for ways your own arm of the flesh might get you
out of this situation somehow if worse comes to worst...
In order to find My way, My strategy, My method, My solution,
you’re going to have to look in the Spirit! You can’t look in the
physical realm for solutions. That’s not from whence your help
cometh. Your help cometh from the Lord, which made Heaven
and earth (Ps.121).
You rely not on your own understanding, not your own strength,
not on luck, but on Me, the Creator of all things.
Give it to Me in prayer, put Me in charge of it. And then stand
back, relax & see what happens.

There was a time for Moses to be ready for the Exodus, but there
was also a time when he wasn't ready yet. There's a time of
definite, visible anointing, and there's a time of preparation, of
finding out where it's not at, how not to do it, which mistakes not
to make.
You're still in the preparation phase. Moses did lead the children
out of Egypt successfully, eventually. Although it did take them a
lot longer to get to the Promised Land than most of them were
prepared for. Are you prepared for the long haul?
Certainly some of the children of Israel felt just as cheated back
then as you sometimes tend to feel. This was not the bargain
they had settled for: the Promised Land, yes, but not 40 years of
wandering through the wilderness. Yet it was those 40 years in
the wilderness that made My people truly My people. And it's not
as if they would have been perfect after those 40 years, either,
but at least they were ready to conquer the Promised Land!
They still had to cope with a lot of imperfections, and those
imperfections seem to have gotten worse all the time.

stupidities and atrocities to learn from, to laugh at... It's all part of

comedy.
There's even a place for cases you might not be able to figure out
what sort of purpose there might be for a walking chaos like
them... There's a purpose for everything and everybody. Often
you can do no other but stand back and let Me do, let Me show
and let it be.
The true seers will always see the true event that will pass nearly
unnoticed and quietly after the non-happening of the loudly
advertised flop... The true learners will always - in the end - learn
the lessons that were there to learn out of all of this, and they will
be there to teach the world what really happened... The true
wisdom will always be there, available in the whispers, when all
the loud rah-rahs of the world will have quieted down, and even
before that, usually only far apart from them.
Just keep following My whispers, My still, small voice that you
can hear in the wilderness, leading you - slowly, step by step,
lesson by lesson - on Home.

26 __________________________________________________
You can't expect people to be perfect, nor anywhere near
perfect, nor should you hinge your love on them living up to your
expectations. You don't manage to fulfill anybody else's
unrealistic expectations, either.
Stop charging a price that they could never pay! Stop demanding
something they could never fulfill or live up to. You're humanly
not strong enough to fulfill any such expectations yourself, so
how can you make those demands on anybody else? Why not
just accept everybody for who they are?
If you decide to wholeheartedly listen, you will also find a way to
bring Me into the conversation. But you're not always willing to
forsake all and follow Me on the spot into the heart of that
person.
That's not how you're going to convince them that you love them
with a love that is ready to lay down your life for them! That's no
way they're ever going to believe it, no way to strengthen their
faith in your love for them. But you should.
Is your love strong and unconditional enough to show them that
they're more important to you than whatever you were doing?
As long as what you're doing is not immediately involved with
the salvation of another human soul, it couldn't possibly be more
important than hearing those closest to you out & really listening
to what they've got to say. Listen to them with My ears, and you'll
also have My words to give back to them as a reply.
What could be more important than love, more important than
showing love? Earning money? Installing some new software?
Burning that CD or answering that email?
Folks around you are never going to be completely convinced
that you truly love them, unless you learn to dedicate yourself to
them wholeheartedly, to listen to them as if they were the only
thing that mattered at that moment. That's the way I talked to My
disciples, and they knew that what I had to say mattered. They
knew that the only more important One to Me than they was the
Father, but besides that, nothing else. Certainly not some
insignificant little circumstance or physical condition that
concerned our immediate comfort, well-being or supply, much
less any new, not really necessary gimmick, just another addition
to the collection!
Don't let your life become just another collection or accumulation
of things! Make it a life that matters! Make it a life that made a
difference! Make it a life of which others are going to be able to
say, "this fellow really lived, because he knew how to give! He
gave it all!" Can you imagine people saying anything nicer or
more beautiful about you when you're gone? Wouldn't that be
something to strive for, a more worthy cause than making sure
you've got this book and that movie, or this or that or the other
thing you think you still need?
That old survival instinct sometimes makes you forget My Words
about "he that saveth his life shall lose it, and he that will lose it
shall save it..."
True, there are others who are doing worse than you, but that's
the kind of excuse that isn't going to count, just like those
excuses didn't spare anyone from the gallows during the
Nuremberg trials!
Are you working out your salvation with fear and trembling? Are
you really making sure you're making the most out of that gift of
Salvation that I've given you, that I've paid for with a high price?
See, I was willing and able to pay the price you demand. Look at
Me! I'm fulfilling all your expectations! Why waste your time
expecting things from folks who could never live up to all that
you might expect of them, when you've got Me right here, Who
already more than made up for anything they might lack? Why
keep staring into the void, when there's total fullness and
wholeness over Here? What else could you possibly need or
want?
How could anyone possibly have the audacity to say, "But I still
haven't found what I'm looking for?" What else could they be
looking for? What, unless all they're really concerned about is
the puny husks of the flesh, the food that was thrown out to feed
the pigs, that My prodigal and wayward sons in this world would
feed themselves of, when they could have the abundance at the
Father's table?
How long are you still going to settle for pig feed? Why not come
Home and feast at the Master's table?
Just because there are others who are being materialistic, is that
sufficient excuse to become a materialist yourself? You never
lose by giving! Never, never, never, never! Even if you should be
giving to someone with motives less than 100% pure, it would
still not be wasted or lost.
"You never lose by giving." That's My promise!
27 __________________________________________________
Sometimes people act as if their things were more important
than some poor soul. That is an abomination, an atrocity to Me.
That, to Me, is the epitome of setting wrong priorities. It's idolatry
of the highest degree, and certainly missing the mark of love, and
thus, sin.
Just because this may seem like a fairly normal thing to do
nowadays, I don't want you to get the impression that this is
anywhere near tolerable in My eyes.
Put souls first, and everything else will fall into place. Put My
sheep first, and I will take care of the rest. Feed My sheep, and I
promise, I will feed you!
The Enemy is sly and tries all kinds of techniques to get you to
think that this thing is more important or that thing is more
important, but if you stick close to Me, I will always be able to tell
and show you what's really most important! And one pretty
failsafe criterion by which to go is: if it's alive, if it's got a soul,
and if you can talk to it, then it's got priority. Living souls -
people, humans, and especially My sheep, your brethren or
potential future brethren, should always have your priority over
some gimmick.
Seeking first the Kingdom: What is the Kingdom? What does it
consist of? People! First of all, look after My people, and I'm
going to look after you!
28 __________________________________________________
There are innumerable factors which determine how much I
can give to someone and how much another person might
handle. You'll eventually find out that there was perfect justice in
the amounts of blessings, talent, etc., that have been distributed,
even though at first glance, the distribution may seem a bit unfair
to you at times...
29 __________________________________________________
It takes a conscious effort to give all the glory to Me! It takes
realizing that there's an automatic, hidden mechanism
functioning in yourself that causes any accomplishment to feed
that dark, hidden part of your ego, which seeks to be built up and
pumped up by that sense of accomplishment, and then refusing
to give in to that urge by making sure that you say, "Lord, I want
to give You all the glory for this!"
30 __________________________________________________
Adversity is what makes you strong. You want to have power
over unclean and evil spirits? It's these fighting experiences that
give you the power you seek. For although it is I Who give you
the power, I give it to you by way of applying the little power you
already have and finding out that it's not quite enough, that you
need to come back to Me for more; that you've got to keep on
training, fighting, hanging on...
31 __________________________________________________
How do you become an instrument of My peace? By uttering
My praises. By showing forth your thankfulness and a grateful
attitude, and thus becoming a living showcase of My grace
everywhere you go. By never allowing yourself to be
overwhelmed by adverse circumstances but insisting to trust
that I am in control of them all, refusing to give in to doubt,
despair and murmuring!
How else do you manage to bring love where there is hatred, to
bring light where there is darkness, joy, where there is sadness?
You cannot do this unless you even refuse to look at the hatred,
the darkness, the sadness, or their causes, to begin with. You
refuse to see the adverse circumstance as such, but only as an
occasion to put My power to the test. You rejoice in the adversity,
because it has brought you a new challenge to prove to the
universe that I am greater than any circumstance!
"Where there is doubt, there let me bring faith." You cannot have
any doubts yourself, but must be so full of positiveness, so
determined not to give any place to the Devil and his evil
thoughts of darkness, of nothingness, that anything and
everything that represents his gloom will only serve as a vacuum
that's immediately filled up and overwhelmed by My
graciousness, My capacity to fill, My all-engulfing and
overflowing light, joy and love.
Let your heart and soul be a waterfall of My Spirit, against which
the Devil and his ilk won't stand a chance! Be a generator of
positiveness that will strangle, choke, suffocate and nip in the
bud any attempt of negativity to even crop up! Now, that goal
may sound slightly "utopic" to you, but it isn't! It is at your reach,
by My marvelous, transforming power.
You want to become an instrument of My peace? Well, become
one! I command you this day: BE an instrument of My peace! I
ordain you to go and bring faith where there is doubt, hope
where there is despair, love where there is hate, pardon where
there is injury, light where there is darkness, joy where there is
sadness! That means, you will be an overcomer, and eraser of all
those negative manifestations, and you will fill that dark void of
nothingness, wherever you see it, with My warmth.
Remember that cold is merely the absence of warmth, darkness
is merely the absence of light. You've got the antidote to that
emptiness, that void, because you represent Me, the Filler of all
things, of every void and all low and empty spaces, you are My
instrument.
In order to be what I want you to be, you cannot be preoccupied
with being loved, understood or comforted, but must seek to
love, understand and comfort others.
Every day will be another series of confirmations of the truth that
it is in giving that you receive, in forgiving that you obtain mercy
and pardon from others and Me, in forgetting about what you
want, letting go of your desires, that you find what you wish for,
and in dying that you will rise again and again and again.
32 __________________________________________________
I definitely welcome your having Me involved more in matters
and affairs of your daily lives. For Me, it's fun. And even though
you dread having to deal with some of these things, they can
also become fun for you if you include Me more in them. You can
combine the physical with the spiritual, and thus convert every
physical matter into an at least partly spiritual one.
You want to infiltrate the System of the evil one and eventually
overthrow it. He's the usurper, and you're working toward the
recapture of the kingdom for the rightful Heir, and by "infecting"
anything that's merely carnal, material and physical with a breeze
of spiritual, it changes. Blessings flow from one party to another.
I want you to be open, not stuck in prejudices, even if based on
former experiences.
Everything can change. The factors can change, the parties
involved can change, the cards can change. Those who formerly
were against Me can change and work for Me instead, as it
unfortunately works the other way around...
King David had to learn this during his life-time, as those who he
thought to be his allies turned against him and became his
enemies, so that he was forced to seek refuge with his former
enemies. There are precedents to what I'm doing in your life in
order to establish your trust in Me alone, never in any earthly
institution. Your friends of yesterday can become your enemies
of tomorrow and vice versa. The only thing that changes not and
you can rely on is My being on your side.
It all depends on choices made within those different fractions,
people, governments, societies... Their structures change from
within according to the decisions and choices made on
individual levels as well as corporate... they all affect their stance
toward Me, whether they tend to be for Me or against Me.
This happens on local levels, too. Maybe a party you wouldn't
trust on a national level becomes trustworthy on a local,
communal level because of a certain, God-fearing member.
33 __________________________________________________
How puny church Christians look compared to David's mighty
men of the spirit... there's just no comparison. Few have the
courage to even face the truth of that drastic difference.
Sometimes people confuse themselves just in order to not see
the truth. Or they try to apply for themselves whatever they can
glean from it that makes them feel better, but they're not ready
for the whole truth and nothing but the truth.
Of course, I prefer them taking in some of the truth to accepting
none of it, but on the other hand, only those stout hearted men
and women of the spirit who want the whole truth really have
what it takes to bring forth the fruit that I desire.
With fearful people transformation takes place more slowly as
they carefully make each step, making sure they're not giving
more than they can afford, or falling into some trap which they
suspect around just about every corner...
34 __________________________________________________
You don't need to try to figure Me out, you just need to love
Me and obey Me the best you can. I know you better than you
know yourselves, and thus also know what you're capable of,
better than you do yourselves. Sometimes you may fret & say,
"But I can't!" But I know better & say, "Yes, you can!"
If you're really sure of My love, you'll always know that whatever I
expect of you, whatever challenges I present you with, even
whatever pressure I may put you under, it's all for your best, it's
all because I love you more than you love yourself, and you can
just trust, and go ahead and "do it cause Daddy said so."
You just can't put Me in a box, or tell Me that I'm supposed to
operate in a certain way! I'm free, and I have everything in the
universe at My disposal to bring about My plan.
Let go & trust that it's okay! I give you exactly what you need.
Why worry about by which means I bring it?
I'm teaching you to fine-tune your convictions, and not to go
overboard on any issue. What I'm showing and revealing to you
may be just fine for you and work for you, but you can't dictate
the same remedy for everybody.
Usually, people have different problems than worrying about how
different or weird you are. What matters is that you love them,
that you're being nice to them & are making an effort to be Me for
them.
I won't ask you for more than you can deliver! I won't give you
more than you're able to bear.
All you need is right here, and it's available to you for the asking,
at the reach of your hand! All you need is Me! You don't need to
impress anybody with what an obedient citizen of the kingdom
you are, just be yourself, and if you happen to run into problems,
we'll take care of them!
Everything's under My control! You're in goood hands !
Spiritual input is more effective than verbal input.
When you talk, you do use the Holy Ghost, too, but when you
pray, She's much more involved yet!
The Enemy makes you feel like I'm asking too much of you, "The
door knob's too high…" So, have a realistic look at things,
discern the truth.

35 __________________________________________________
While jealousy is not right and inappropriate, the same also
applies to familiarity.
To overcome familiarity, you must learn to see a person through
My eyes, My eyes of forgiveness when they do wrong, and My
eyes of love - unconditional and unshakable.
Loving your neighbor as yourself requires some skill. It requires
some effort. It takes something, and you've got to put something
into it, it costs something. It costs something to find out what
makes a person tic, and how to solve a problem. That's the
challenge of love.
I came down to your level to bring you up to Mine, now, are you
going to be less than willing to do the same for others?
It's not how much you've been given, but how much you do with
what you've been given that counts, and sad to say, some of you
could be giving so much more!
Have you really loved the least of your brethren as much as you
would love Me?
It's easy to love the King of the universe, the One Who'll grant
you all your desires and requests, the Fulfiller of your wildest
dreams. But how much can you really love Me in the least of
these, your brethren, that little weird brother over there, or that

40 __________________________________________________
In prayer, you can spread your soul out like a healing balm,
and thus have it benefit many, simultaneously. If you don't pray,
the balm stays in the jar. But as soon as you pour out your soul
to Me in prayer for those whose lives concern you, and those I
put on your heart to pray for, because their lives concern Me, it
goes to work and soothes, heals, performs miracles, and you
become like a magician puppeteer, influencing many lives from
behind the scenes: you're becoming My hands, pouring out the
balm of My healing elixir over them.
So much good can be done and accomplished through prayer.
There's virtually nothing better you can do!
Prayer is the way through which you can become a partaker of
My all-powerful nature and create little miracles everywhere, of
new life, new hope, bring light and love where there was none.
41 __________________________________________________
If your kingdom would be perfect, what longing would you
have for My everlasting Kingdom? But in this, that the physical
kingdom is only a poor, imperfect shadow of what is to come,
you will keep your eyes on Me and on My true and everlasting
Kingdom to come.
It is not My will for any of My sheep to be looking unto man, but I
want them to learn to look unto Me, their true shepherd, and by
doing so, they will also receive the grace to look past the flaws
and faults and failings of their brethren, knowing that you all fail
in like manner.
When everything is perfect for them, they become spoiled!
The only thing that keeps folks desperate, dependent on Me and
praying as they ought, is when things are going less than perfect
for them, when there are adverse circumstances. Otherwise, the
group becomes the substitute for Me, the group becomes god.
Man worship is still much more far-spread than many people
realize, and one of the most common forms of modern idolatry,
with many of its perpetrators/victims not even realizing it. And
I'm not for it, but will do what I can to expose those idols for their
feet of clay.
It is My will that the Family isn't perfect, just as it has been My
will that My church never was, and My people never were. The
church was never meant to be the all-in-all. The All-in-all is Me,
and the church is merely a place where you can find Me, a group
of people through whom others can find Me, and sometimes by
means of the very fact that My own people are so far from
perfect.
There's no other way but to look to Me. There's nowhere else to
find the Perfect but in Me, and I'm using the imperfect to have
those who seek the perfect point to Me. If you think you're going
to find the answer and all you're seeking in any group of flesh
and blood people, you're wrong! You will always find some flaws
anywhere, with anyone, in this world. If you want the flawless,
turn to Me!
42 __________________________________________________
It's pride that expects people to be perfect. The pride that tells
them, "I deserve better than that." It's the same pride that tells
jealous people, "I deserve to be loved exclusively" also tells
them, "I deserve to be treated better than this." So, since it's the
pride that gets hurt, it means and shows that it must be good for
your humility factor, if you think what's happening isn't the way it
ought to be for you. At least it's pointing out and showing up the
pride.
Humility takes people where they're at, as I did. Betrayal hurts,
it's true - it's the toughest blow possible on your pride, your
flesh, your ego. It means, "they don't love me at all. They even
hate me so much that they're going as far as to betray me." But if
you can even forgive them then, it shows that you've made the
grade. You recognize that you're not the victim, but in the end,
it's they who are the victims of pride, and only your going
through with your path of love that you chose, and following
through until the very end on the cross, is going to save them
from that. You cannot even be indifferent to them and say, "They
betrayed me, so what!" But you're going to have to do something
about it, you still have to be willing to save them in spite of it.
"Save your traitors."
They cannot do any better than fail you, but you must do better
than fail them! As a rule of thumb for those who want to save the
world, you have to expect of yourself what you can't expect of
them, because you know I expect it of you, because you trust Me
and I have enabled you to (Phil.4:13).
You got the point. They may not have gotten it yet. But you can
help them to get the point by showing and proving that you got it.
If they see someone got the point of love, then they might get it,
too. It may still take a while for it to sink in, but you can't just give
up hope in them. You've got to keep hoping. You've got to keep
believing in them, gotta keep loving. Even if there is nothing
evident there that would be worthy of any such love. Nothing
could ever earn such love in the first place. Love loves on in
spite of, not because of. Keep loving on!
43 __________________________________________________
The basis of the knowledge that you are nothing, is a good
basis for Me to give you everything. As long as there is still any
notion that I chose you because of anything you are in the flesh,
you didn't get the point! What you can become is only because of
your willingness to first be made into nothing and nobody, so
that everything you are will only be of Me.
Anything else, any element of self, of ego, your old, carnal man,
that you allow to enter or to linger around, will be disastrous. It's
gotta be Me. It's gotta be humble, true kind, give peace to the
troubled and sight to the blind... set the captives free...
"Pray before you say."
It's pride to just spit out any old nonsense that pops into your
head, because it indicates that you think that just because it's
yours, it's gotta be good somehow.
Sometimes you're just going to have to make a serious effort to
keep your mouth shut, period! "Sometimes less is more"
definitely applies to words!
If you feed your ego, it's going to become a monster that's going
to turn on you. You start getting easily annoyed and aggravated,
because people are never going to be able to be or act perfect
enough to satisfy your pride. Instead of chasing after any elusive
standards, screw down your expectations of people, keep
humble.
What matters is what you do with every little bit of information,
how deeply you allow it to sink in, so that it can be seen in your
actions. Otherwise you wind up with a case of spiritual bulimia
where you stuff and stuff yourself, but fail to digest it all properly,
and so you vomit it all out again, and it will never do anybody any
good...
And it's because spiritually, you do it for the same reasons that a
bulimic person does it in the physical: you want to live up to
unrealistic standards of pride and vanity in order to please
everybody. It's a pride trip of wanting to please everybody,
instead of just being who you are.
If your incentive for fellowship is that you want folks to adore
you, then you might truly be better off without fellowship!
Concentrate on the sheep's needs. You're not supposed to be
hunting for applause! It can backfire and result in the opposite of
the desired effect!
As a faithful little nobody, humbly feed your sheep. Stop trying to
be a big somebody. It's only going to make you unhappy!
44 __________________________________________________
Guard the flame. How easily a furnace can go out, if you don't
have the fire burning properly yet, or when the fuel is consumed
and you failed to put new fuel on in time... These are all living
illustrations of how you must keep and guard the flame and fire
in your soul, how you must keep feeding and nourishing it, and
shelter it, make sure it gets enough oxygen, etc. It's an art in
itself. It takes skill and effort.
Sometimes you're too lazy to rekindle the flame or to put a new
block of wood on the fire... Sometimes the furnace needs a
cleaning, or the chimney sweeper has to come by & clear out all
the pipes & vents... Sometimes you have to get rid of the old
ashes first, before you can start a new fire... Sometimes the wood
is still damp...
It takes care and a certain amount of vigor to make sure your fire
keeps burning, it doesn't just come by itself. I can help you
kindle the flame, I can even supply you with the fuel, but you're
still the one in charge of keeping it burning. I cannot do
everything for you. That's not what is meant by letting Me do it
through you.
You've got to make sure it's My fuel that's burning, and not your
own wick, that's why you've got to make sure that you always
replenish the oil before it runs out. It takes staying on the ball,
staying on the attack! You can't get lax about it. You need to be
aware of the fact that the Enemy is going to try all he can to snuff
out your flame! He wants you to be cold and sick! He wants it to
be dark, he doesn't want your flame to light up the landscape and
the surroundings, nor does he want others to find warmth by
your side! You've got to fight for it, you must fight to keep the fire
alive!
Sometimes you're also plain weary of the heat, and it's not until
you experience another stretch of cold that you really appreciate
the fire and its warmth again. And that's when there's a greater
willingness again to go through all the little troubles necessary to
keep a furnace going.
If you work unitedly on keeping the fire burning, in order to share
the warmth you generate together, as long as you seek to give
and share every aspect of your lives, it will work and burn fine,
but as soon as selfishness, jealousy & pride enter, they put a
damper on the flame, and problems occur.
That's when you've got to seek My face desperately for these
problems that threaten to put out your fire. You cannot just try to
"live with it," or hope they'll go away. Otherwise, if you just fold
in resignation & figure, "it's no use shining my light on others,
it'll just create problems anyway," then it's no wonder the flame
goes out.
It doesn't help to just blame the other party and say, "they won't
let me burn," because it's your own responsibility to keep your
flame kindled and your fire burning. You will be rewarded
according to your stewardship over your own flame, and how
well you guarded it, and how much warmth and light it gave off to
others, no matter what.
Your primary responsibility is to keep the fire burning. If that fire,
that light, that life, that flame is really what's most important to
you, you'll guard it with all you've got, and you won't allow any
heinous tricks of the Enemy to get anywhere near putting it out!
You've got to be prepared for anything! You won't be deceived by
appearances, either, nor blame conditions or circumstances! You
won't be able to say, "Oh, it just went out by itself!" Not if you
consider it your greatest duty to keep it burning!
The only thing that can make it go out then is your failure to
guard it and keep it properly. There's no other excuse for the
keeper of the flame for having allowed the fire to go out than his
own failure. Maybe you hadn't realized how precious and how
fragile it was. Maybe you thought that since I ignited it for you,
that I was also going to keep it burning, no matter what, but
that's not the way it is. You've still got to do some of the work.
Adam had to tend the garden of Eden, and you've got to tend the
garden and guard the flame of your heart! You've got to protect
your garden, your plants from blithes and make sure they're
being watered plenty, and you've got to keep that fire in your
heart burning!
You will always have My help, but it's still your job. I'm not going
to do your job for you. I want you to do your job with My power
and My wisdom, but I still want you to do it. It's still your
responsibility. It is your responsibility to direct and use My power
in the way you will. You've got to make it happen, even if you let
Me do it!
You can do that by praying for Me to keep your flame and fire
burning, to protect it and not allow it to go out. But that prayer is
your act of keeping the flame. You're wisely availing yourself of
My power then to do the job, but it's still you doing your job.
Prayer is the easiest and most efficient way to get your job done,
that's why the Enemy is fighting it so hard.
The story of the Devil reminding the Sultan of his prayers is not
about true and efficient prayer, since the Devil would never
remind you to keep up with that kind of prayer. The story is about
ceremonious prayer, the kind one only observes out of duty, like
an empty rut he keeps up, only to soothe and pacify his own
conscience.
But the kind of prayer I'm talking about is a weapon that the
Enemy is more scared of than anything else, because he knows
he's powerless against it. It's the prayer of truth. The kind of
prayer that goes right down to the core and heart of the matter.
It's the kind of prayer, originated by the Holy Spirit that directs
you to the very thing you've got to do. You know. It's that inner
knowing. That kind of prayer is the kind the Devil is most afraid
of, and of course he will do anything within his might to keep you
from praying that way.
He knows you become practically invulnerable to his attacks if
you pray for Me to keep and guard the flame of your heart. It's the
best thing you can do to protect it. If you ask Me to keep it
burning, what can he do?
You've got to be savvy to My plan, you've got to be in on it, and
get a clue of what I'm up to. And that's basically what you're
doing in prophecy: you're getting a clue. Before you were
clueless, but now you're getting a clue of what I'm going to do,
and what I want you to.
And everything all of a sudden obtains rhyme and reason.
45 __________________________________________________
You’re realizing you're not quite as prolific at the art of loving
yet as you would wish to be. You have to dedicate yourself more
to it. You're finding out it's a somewhat greater task than you had
realized. It takes a bit more than what you have thus far been
putting into it.
Allow it to grow... you can learn love and return to love.
Guard that flame. It's not so much focusing on your own flame of
love, but by really beholding the other's flame, truly appreciating
it, treasuring it, that your own heart's flame gets re-kindled too,
and thus you can warm each other.
Learn to focus on their very inner being, their inner core and
soul. Learn to behold the flame, the candle of their inner
sanctuary, that what really makes them burn and tic from the
inside.
By far the more important to discover and explore is the "inner
space" of your fellow human beings.
You're going to have to focus, tune in and zoom in on them,
really perceive them, absorb and feel them out, hear them out,
pay attention to them.
Can you blame people for being attention junkies when there's
so little they get of that stuff? Everything else seems to be so
much more deserving of attention: making money, shopping, car
maintenance, success at work, etc. "And what about me?" the
inner soul of so many cries. "Nobody's paying any attention to
me. Am I really not worth anything?"
Judging by the amount of attention some people are willing to
pay to their spouses, their children and other loved ones, is it
any wonder that so many think of themselves as absolutely
worthless?
The Enemy constantly uses pride, ambition, greed and other
inborn human factors and sins, the tasks with the more
promising rewards... the great accomplishments that pay off in
immediate, visible results, like cash, applause or appraisal,
recognition, reputation, popularity, etc., to distract them and lure
them away from what is really relevant.
All these things that feed pride are taking away from love, from
feeding that little flame inside the human soul of the one who is
so desperately waiting for your love, starving for your love.
So many are literally starving for the love that so few are willing
to give to the needy.
The demand is so great, and all the while the Devil keeps people
busy and distracted with other, really much less relevant things
and activities than to love others.
Focus on people and their needs. Recognize them for what they
are, pay attention to them! Give them your time! Give them your
full attention, as if nothing else was more important, and - when it
all comes down to it - nothing really is. Because you can only say
in the end that you loved Me as much as you managed to love the
least of these, your brethren.
It is a widely spread phenomenon that people think they know
another person, even one they're very close to, but in reality
haven't really touched the soul of that person, haven't really
perceived the true picture of who that person really is. It is one of
the greatest tragedies of the times. But then of course, it is
equaled by the fact that most people don't even really know who
they themselves are.
They're all too busy keeping the apparatus running that secures
the maintenance of their shells, their bodies; not many folks are
really savvy about what's going on on the inside. It certainly
doesn't help that those who claim to know something about it are
often totally confused and deceived themselves, not at all in
touch with My reality. What sort of good advice can you expect
from somebody who seriously believes that man evolved from
the monkeys? And that what's going on inside the human brain
is basically evolved animal behavior?
I created the animals to illustrate human behavior in many ways,
but to turn it around and base your knowledge about humans on
the assumption that it comes from the animals, is not exactly
conducive to genuine wisdom, nor real solid knowledge about
the human psyche.
Unfortunately, by denying the true origin of the human spirit, man
is often somewhat reduced to that animal state in which they
believe they are in the first place, for "as a man thinketh in his
heart, so is he." If he believes he is an animal, an animal he shall
be. And the more people there are walking about, thinking they
are animals, the more it seems to confirm that delusion. The
"herd instinct," "Monkey see, monkey do."
And because there are so few living samples of people who really
have the ability to fully tune in to their fellow humans, everybody
assumes that that's the way it's supposed to be, the normal state
of affairs. To "know" somebody is merely limited to knowing their
exterior, their outer manifestations of what's inside, but hardly
ever the real thing that dwells inside that body.
So few people really touch each other's souls these days.
Get in on some deeper love.
Look again! Look deeper!
46 __________________________________________________
I'm what you've been looking for, not any group of people, not
any church. But when some people find Me, they don't fully
embrace Me... They want Me on a safe, mental pedestal where
they think they've "got Me" where they want Me, but I won't get
too close to do anything beyond their control...
They want to be in control... exactly what Satan promised in
return for disobedience: "Ye shall be as gods." In other words:
"You can be in control yourselves! You don't have to follow and
obey this God that you don't really know what He's up to..."
When it comes down to it they really only want to do their own
thing. But they figure they better make some kind of a deal with
Me, some peace treaty, in which they pretend to be on My side,
so that I won't do anything that might cross their plans, and so
that they can have somebody to blame when their plans don't
work out.
The question is: how much do you really believe that I am the
answer? How much do you really believe in Me? How much do
you really believe I am capable of? Do you really think I can do all
things, change all things that need to be changed?
Everybody always thinks that they know better than Me.
You may be sincerely convinced that you would have known
better than Me, or a better way to do it, but please, bear with Me
for a little while longer and give Me a chance to bring this to an
end.
The picture isn't done yet, and of course it doesn't make any
sense to you yet. You're just going to have to wait until the
picture is finished.
How speechless you're all going to be when you'll see the
perfection of the final outcome. In the meantime, bear with Me.
A lot is up to the personal choices of people. The way they are
and what they become depends on their own choices. You are,
basically, what you choose to be and chose to become, and often
people simply seem to settle for less than the best.
My part is making the best out of the mess you make out of it all
with your choices, and it's quite a challenge. But when you'll see
the final outcome of it all, you will even see My wisdom in having
allowed you to make those wrong choices in the first place.
When it comes to the end of the road, you'll see that there would
have been no other, no better, no more beautiful way to bring
home the point, make the message loud and clear, and engrave
the lesson on every man, woman and child's heart.
47 __________________________________________________
Patience and prayer is what you can contribute to the
improvement of the situation. Trust that I'm at work on it. You're
not the only one who realized that something is wrong, and
things are being done about it. In the meantime, consider it
another test whether you're going to stick or allow this to
become your excuse to quit.
Let the hurt grind your ego, your pride, your carnal self to
powder. That's what those atrocities are there for. Don't let it
become an excuse to quit, but let it become a tool to make you
more humble, more yielded, more quiet.
Sometimes I simply let you experience situations you can't
handle, to see whether you're finally going to shut up and pray.
Study to be quiet! Make an effort! Try a little harder! Experience
the pain for once, instead of immediately opening your mouth to
complain about it before it even starts.
You can complain all you want about what bothers you - or you
can silently trust Me. The Shunnamite woman could have
complained about her son having died. But did she? When the
prophet asked her through his servant, "Is all well with you and
your son?" she replied, "All is well."
She trusted that, although he was dead, all was well, because I
was in control. And I rewarded her faith with her son's
resurrection. How much of that kind of faith can you muster?
How much can you trust and say "All is well" by faith?
Choose whether you're going to take a trusting stance or not.

If you still haven't found what you're looking for, it's usually
because you've been looking in the wrong places. Happiness is
not found in any big noisy careers, nor in big personal
accomplishment, but in the quiet, humble act of resting in Me,
getting to really know Me, touching Me, hearing My voice and
seeing My hand and My footprints in your life!
I like it when folks are satisfied with little, able to enjoy the basics
of living, and they don't have to have a constant entertainment

God first. Two words. No matter what happens, that's the rule
that always applies. You may think you have acquired all the
necessary wisdom by now to solve that problem by yourself, but
you'll only find out that that was another classical case of wishful
thinking, wishing you'd have stuck to that one golden rule: God
first.
It's the one rule to which there are no exceptions, the one that
always applies, if you want to succeed and don't want to mess
up. It's the one rule to keep, no matter what.
It's the magic formula that will supply all your needs & solve all
your problems. If you put Me first, you just can't go wrong.
It takes the "sting" out of what you're experiencing when you
know it's for your good, like all things, and when you can see a
purpose with a goal in it. The goal is greater understanding and
wisdom. It's greater insight into the human heart, and
simultaneously, into the heart of God, as you learn to see the full
scope of different angles and possible viewpoints.
Since I know what you can handle, it's alright for you to go
through this lesson. You don't need to wonder, "Am I in the
wrong film?" because you're never in the wrong film. Sometimes
you've merely got to adjust to the script, the setting and the co-
actors. Call it a test of your flexibility and adaptability, plus a test
of your trust in the Director's wisdom.

50 __________________________________________________
There are still so many things to show, so many aspects to
share from My heavenly point of view, to learn to see the spiritual
causes behind things.
There's more progress to make in your learning to become like
Me.
People could tell that I loved them, didn't look down on them or
despise them.
Some folks make it difficult for you, and you don't feel like it
could be expected of you to love them. But I want to stretch your
"love muscles" to try to extend just a little bit more love, a little
bit more mercy, a little more forgiveness every day.
Sometimes I purposely let you make such a mess of things, so
that you don't feel better than anyone anymore, not even the
worst person you know. When you don't look down on anyone
anymore, and you don't consider anyone more deserving of
judgment than yourself anymore, then you're walking through life
humbly, and you'll even be able to love the worst of your
enemies.
I wouldn't want you to send anyone to hell prematurely, when
there might still be a chance for them to be saved.
Sometimes you feel like those people are raping you spiritually,
and you don't think you can forgive them or bear it, but you can,
because nothing is impossible to him that believeth and wields
the power of My keys of the Kingdom. I want you to learn to rise
above such circumstances, because they're going to get worse.
If you commit the matter into My hands in trust, then I'll be able
to do the miracle. Remember that it's you I'm training, and you
I'm teaching, that you are the one who's supposed to learn
something out of this!
51 __________________________________________________
I give to every person lessons and challenges in life that are
according to their talent and personality type, and what I know
they can handle. Since you are by nature inclined to relate and
"see the other side," I present you with challenges along these
lines, even if you may sometimes tend to think I'm asking too
much of you. If it wouldn't be hard or tough in any way, it
wouldn't be a challenge, right?
In the same process, you're learning discernment, for you're
forced to find out whether that difference in others you're finding
For someone who determines their own personal worth by their
works, accomplishments and service to others, it is hard to stand
by and see others praised or appreciated for theirs. They think,
it's something that's being taken away from them. It's the same
root of the problem as is found in jealousy. Of course, it's not
rational, reasonable or justified, but just the way pride distorts
things. Once you realize and learn how pride works in different
minds, it's a lot easier to deal with it, expose it and to overcome.
The person must be honest enough with themselves to be willing
to face it, admit the problem to themselves, have it exposed. In
the ideal case, they should even learn to laugh about such
childish behavior in themselves, but depending how seriously
one takes himself, this can be quite difficult sometimes. It's true
that some people take themselves too seriously, especially in the
field of religious service. Pride has a heyday there, which is why
envy and jealousy - spiritual jealousy - are rampant in the
churches, and why I can often rather use simple-minded folks
who are not so stuck on themselves.
When it comes down to it, one has to let go of their own ego and
of seeking their own glory in order to serve Me, but that is a
process that doesn't always happen overnight. It can take quite a
few years for pride to be fully exposed and all its unpleasant,
hidden side effects to be completely weeded out of one's life.
Mostly because people aren't even aware of their own hidden
motives until they become mature enough to deal with things and
are sincerely interested in finding out why things simply haven't
worked out as they should thus far in their lives.
Call it a course in "spiritual psychology." Just because
psychology is known to be a worldly thing, and worldly
psychologists can be some of the weirdest people you've known,
it doesn't mean that there is no such thing in My Realm. The
study of the human spirit is one of the main things this is all
about, and as in worldly psychology, it does not only serve to
analyze and fill people's heads with knowledge, but also for folks
to begin to understand themselves, and to learn to tackle their
problems on the basis of that understanding.
Of course, the easiest way would be to just pray for deliverance
from certain problems, but, as you're finding out, it doesn't
always work that way. Sometimes you have to resist unto blood,
striving against sin, which means, it takes more than a prayer of
deliverance over some of your besetting sins. It takes the
honesty and courage to be willing to face them in the first place,
letting Me expose and show them to you, shine My light of truth
into those dark corners of your heart, and then allowing Me to
clean up there.
Simply seeing it, recognizing it and acknowledging it, admitting
to it, takes humility, and that's already half the victory in itself.
The humility to admit to oneself, "Why, this is ridiculous, the way
I'm behaving! - Lord, give me the grace to snap out of this!"
Of course, for some people, who are extremely stuck on
themselves in this aspect, it can be difficult, because all they see
is their own hurt. Their pride blinds them to the truth and often
even stops them from being willing to see it. That's why there are
so many spiritually blind people who think they see. They can
make life really hard, as you can see from My experiences with
the Pharisees.
You've got to expose the Pharisee within you, that self-righteous
prig, that thinks he sees and already knows the truth, and can't
stand some other little "nincompoop" to come along and tell
them what they think is truth, or even perform a whole bunch of
miracles, or accomplish greater works with much greater ease
than you ever could. Usually it's the humble sinners who've had
to be forgiven for a lot, who can let go of any such pride more
easily, and they can just let Me take over, because they know
their own lives are nothing. Whereas those who've hardly ever
committed a wrong in their lives don't even know what they're
supposed to be forgiven for. My Salvation power isn't nearly as
effective in their lives, and can thus also not be used as greatly
to bring that Salvation, grace, mercy and forgiveness to others.
You can only sell to others what you avail yourself of and are
using and convinced of yourself.
the flesh and the carnal mind again, because I want you to be
fully aware of the risks involved and the repercussions you may
have to deal with, that you should consider before allowing
yourself to get back down there.
It's like you're invoking the strength of the world, instead of My
meek and humble spirit, and the world may give you temporary
success and strength in the flesh, but you know what I think
about worldly success. "What is highly esteemed by men is an
abomination to the Lord." Their idea of success is My idea of
failure.
It's not that I won't pick you up again when you fall, but I cannot
protect you from the impact and the repercussions of allowing
yourself to fall when you ought to know better. I let you reap and
taste the results. You cannot indulge in the spirit of the world and
drink from My cup at the same time, you must choose which it is
you want.
Giving your all in the spirit means going the humble way; giving
that which humbles you, not that which builds up your ego and
pride and self-reliance. It means putting your trust in Me to the
utmost, and giving what might cost you a step of faith to give.
It's determined by the spirit in which you do it... relying on the
flesh, or seeking My glory in it.
I want your thoughts to be with Me. I want you to know and
acknowledge your dependence on Me. I want you to humbly be
aware of your incapability except for Me. I don't just want you not
to be obviously proud, but I want you to be definitely humble.

True spirituality is often merely a matter of doing the seemingly

low, humble and mundane tasks in the right Spirit, with the right
vision, incentive and motivation behind it, powered by Me and My
Spirit. That's the vast difference between My true followers, and
the sterile, pseudo-spiritual Pharisaical church Christians, who
think that by staying out of the dirt and never stooping to the
depths of getting your hands dirty with some mundane task,
much less any such dirty affairs as sex, they stay spiritually
clean. What they don't realize is that the worst rot possible is
coming from within themselves. They may keep covering up their
mess with an outer garment of apparent cleanliness, distract
from their own spiritual stench by constantly pointing at the sins
of others, or even making sins out of acts which are none in My
eyes, but they can't deceive Me, nor anyone else who sees things
as they are in the Spirit. They're like naughty children who
constantly run away from their parents when Mama wants to put

that you can be a good and clear enough sample of My love and
of what a disciple of Mine is truly supposed to be like, so that
they won't be turned off, as happens so often with average
Christians.
What you are is more important than you thought, and thus it
requires more work, more investment of your time and effort than
you thought, and it entails more than just feeding your spirit.
While that was the major emphasis, and it was building a good
and thorough foundation, now we're going to have to get back to
strengthening and building up the rest of you, and all that it
entails: your body and your overall sample, which includes your
Home, your team, etc.
What you are is important. Especially when you have managed to
become nothing for Me. The art is in building up what you are
supposed to be without simultaneously building up your pride,
your ego, your carnal self, that which you're not supposed to be.
Your soul consists of your whole man, body and spirit. What we
had to get rid of was the carnal man, the one who just seeks to
build up his own pride and seeks the opposite of My will for you,
the sinful nature in you that always seeks to contradict Me, to
doubt Me, to strive against Me, to run away from Me. But if the
first thing you do every morning is yield your whole life to Me,
and spend the time with Me that is needed in order to shed the
carnal man and put on the spiritual man, then we can also
wholeheartedly focus on building up your body and all that goes
with it.
That is perhaps where you misjudged others before and couldn't
see why they were putting so much emphasis on what you
considered carnal things.
That's how easy it is to misjudge things, people and situations,
and how easy it is to see things the wrong way... the carnal way.
The carnal way likes to camouflage itself as the spiritual way and
manifests itself especially in religious hypocritical self-
righteousness. The Pharisees were more carnal-minded and "in
the flesh" than those sinners they looked down on, because the
"spiritual" sins of self-righteousness and spiritual pride are
much more severe, and much more deeply rooted in the flesh
than the mere desire to enjoy the bodies I have given you,
including all its functions.
That's why there is a way that seems right to a man, but the end
thereof are the ways of death. To the carnal mind it looks the
opposite of the way I see it. The way that seems right on the
surface is the sanctimonious way, that's why you've got to look
deeper, below the surface, and see what I've got to say about it,
and how I see things. That's what My truth does, and bathing
yourself in the truth of My Words: it helps you to see things My
way, and not the way your carnal mind would interpret things. It
tells you, "things are not what they seem."
Of course, the most important thing is still the Spirit, and what
they can see in your eyes is so much more relevant and
important than any physical sample could be.
You've got to look deeply, especially when it comes to people,
and you cannot judge by exterior things, just as you wouldn't
want them to judge you for your exterior. It's the spirit that
counts, and that you can only see once you look beyond the
exterior, and you've got to make that effort.
63 __________________________________________________
It's not really love, if it's not humble. As soon as the boasting
starts, it starts to get smelly in the spirit. It's like some delicious
meal. If you let it stand for too long, it will go bad. There has to be
constant movement and renewal. The old has to be discarded,
and a new meal has to be prepared. A new offering has to be
made, without time for resting on your laurels of the past. You
can't sit back and pat yourself on the back for the souls you've
already won. You just keep going, the way a good housewife
knows she's got to cook another meal every day, got to keep
cleaning, got to keep going, got to keep doing the humble task...
Those who are too busy worrying, "what's in it for me?" and
wondering about the amount of glory they're going to get,
usually never really accomplish the kind of things that count, as
far as I'm concerned, simply because the wrong spirit is behind
it... the wrong incentive. It just clashes with My Spirit, the two
don't jibe. Love is love and pride is pride and ne'er the twain shall
meet.
That's why, as soon as there's pride involved, something's
wrong, it causes the machinery to malfunction. It's like a law of
spiritual mechanics: a big no-no.
The position of your heart in these matters of accomplishment is
just as important as the positions of individual pieces in a
machine, or some sophisticated equipment. You can't put a
motor in the trunk of a car for instance. But that's in a way, what
lots of people do, like that old saying, they put their carts before
their horses. It's the horse power that's got to do the job,
otherwise the cart isn't going to get anywhere, and that applies to
your relation with Me, too. Some people think they don't need the
horse, or the motor or the fuel anymore, they're coasting along
on some former momentum, and they don't realize that the oil
has run out or the horses are asleep. Without oil, that motor's
going to give up the ghost pretty soon and cause one helluva
stench.
That's why I can use you better if you just know that you're
utterly dependent on good maintenance, constant refills of fuel
and oil, and make sure that the whole machinery is in order. All
these things illustrate the intricacy of your lives for Me. There are
many factors to consider, and, as usual, lots of folks never
bother to read the manual, or they simply misunderstand or
misinterpret the parts they do read, or they're not looking for
contact with the Master Mechanic and Technician Who could
show them all they need to know.
I like to be involved in your earthly matters a whole lot more than
most people realize.
It's important to remember that you are not alone. There's help
available for you. How silly it would be to constantly ignore that
help & insist on doing everything alone.
Tuning in to Me isn't only a one-on-one process, but it includes
tuning in to the other members of your team as well, both, on this
side as on your side of the curtain. There are oodles of folks
involved in everything, so you must expand your horizon and
modus operandi to working with multiple members and partners
in this body, My church, learning to tune in to them, and being
open to input from them at any given time, requesting their input,
counseling with them, checking in with them, both, your team
members on earth and in the spirit world.
I want you to get a broader spectrum of things in general, not the
uni-directional way of looking at things, the way a horse with
blinkers would. Expand your horizon and circumference and look
around you in a full 360 degree circle. There's more to perceive
than just the path ahead of you, more than just your own crown
and reward, your own personal goal. There's a unified goal that
everyone on My side is working together on reaching, and they're
hoping that you're going to be a good team player, listen to their
counsel.
You are not alone. There are millions around you, trying and
wanting to help you, so open your channel, and also be receptive
for the input they can contribute through those at your side!
Everything belongs. And everybody, too! You're not supposed to
tackle it all by yourself.
64 __________________________________________________
Dedicating your time to Me is an art that can be improved by
the amount of energy and intensity you put into it. Committing
the day into My hands in prayer is like drawing a rough sketch &
a general deal that says, "here, Lord, make out of it the best you
know how." But if you want to go into the details and make a fine
art out of it, you say, "Lord, I dedicate this next hour to You, and I
want to put my whole being into it! Take me, possess me to the
full and help me to make the utmost possible out of it." It's like
the difference between passively making love and being the one
who takes the initiative. There's a time for both, but as You know,
it's nice to have variety.
Put some passion into it, some initiative, some more dedication.
The amount you'll get out of it is determined by what you put into
it. The more you give, the more I give back to you. The more you
are determined not to settle for anything less than the very best
you can make and get out of each single day, the more
wholeheartedly you pray, the greater the results are going to be.
There's always more to give. Just like there is always more to
receive from Me, and I always have something more to give to
you, I have made you so much in My image, that there's always
something more left in you to give, another extra ounce of
progress to make, yet another little bit to grow...
There's always more, not only of Me, but also of you, that you
can give to Me, and I, in return, will give you all the more of Me.
When I know you give Me your all, and there's nothing you're
withholding from Me, then I also give My all to you. When there's
nothing withheld, but all is given on both sides, that is utter
surrender, total passion, that's when life has truly begun.
By holding back you're just cheating yourself out of the greatest
possible thrills you could ever experience.
Once you come up with the necessary amount of energy to break
through to the other side, My helpers will have a much easier
time inspiring you with the necessary thoughts that will guide
you to do the things that will help you accomplish the best and
most you can.
What is needed in order to ensure the best possible guidance
you can receive from Me, is a certain desperation that ensures
Me that you don't want to settle for anything less than My best
possible option for you, that you're really serious about it all, and
that you really want to invest something into this; and I won't be
slack about rewarding you and blessing you accordingly.
I hand you some situations for you to hand them back to Me,
the way a father rolls a ball toward his child, expecting him to roll
it back. That's the way the game works. After you've rolled it back
to Me by committing the problem to prayer, and I've done what I
can to improve the situation, I'll roll it back to you, and have you
do a little bit of what you can.
I bring out that hidden potential in you.
67 __________________________________________________
Mine is a straight and narrow path, and although My voice and
My signs are everywhere, and My handwriting is seen all over
creation, it is only few who are able to see it. Only few are able to
make out My path, because the majority choose to look out for
other things. People primarily focus on the things they are
interested in, and My still small voice of truth that promotes the
path of sacrifice and humility is inaudible to the majority, who are
still following the ways of the flesh.
As you walk My path, and people start to pay attention to you, the
tests are becoming harder, and the Enemy thinks up more
intricate schemes to deceive you and lead you astray. The
immediate, tangible blessing is often accepted at the cost of the
hidden, unseen and eternal blessing.
It takes desperate seeking of My face and of My will to find out
which is truly My blessing, which is the Devil's temptation; which
is truly My will, and which is the will of the flesh.
My will for you will usually be the path of crucifixion, not the
exaltation of the flesh.

A thief, who by stealing thinks he enriches himself, only takes
loss of his own soul.
They don't realize that they're losing by what they consider gain,
how they're only heaping up misery for themselves by trying to
chase that artificial happiness. There is that which promises to
be gain but in the end turns out to have only been loss...
The ways of sin make a person ugly, warped, distorted,
despicable and undesirable, compared to what they're supposed
to be. The question is, can you love them anyway? Can you love
them enough to help them find their way back to Me? Can you
still see My light in them? Can you still consider them a "friend,"
even if they don't act like you do? Can you forgive them the way
you have been forgiven?

more you know, the more you know you don't know. If people
only had a clue how little they know. If you can face each new
day with the innocent ignorance of a child, a hunger to learn, a
desire to still that lack of knowledge, then you're able to learn a
lot faster than those who think they already know everything and
have to be re-educated first. There's so much you all have to un-
learn!
Forget what you think you know, and realize how little you really
know, and how much there is yet to learn! How can you learn
when you think you already know it all?
If you realize you've all got so much to learn together and from
each other and with each other, then it's not one person acting as
the "master" over the others, but each one just humbly shares
what they're learning as you go...
Let Me teach you! As you continue learning from Me, absorbing
the words from My mouth, you will at last truly learn. My Word
shall not return unto Me void. It will bring forth fruit
(Isa.55:10,11)!
87 __________________________________________________
Don't make yourself too comfortable, too much at home in this
world, but keep that hunger, that yearning for that which is to
come, that which is perfect. Strive now for that which is perfect,
that you may learn of Me and of My ways, and that you may
become - as much as is given you - perfect in this world, as you
already are in My eyes. There is nothing imperfect about you in
My eyes. It's just your own view, your own perception that still
sees the flaws. I cannot even see them anymore.
I see the light and the beauty in you, and all I feel for you is love.
For Me, that's really seeing. When you can look through the eyes
of love, and all you see and feel is love, then you can really see.
All the rest is only the space between the stepping stones that
lead you there.
I will show you the pieces of the puzzle, the steps of the way to
take that will lead you to Me, to total love and understanding.
The affairs of this life will sometimes disconnect you from the
spiritual and heavenly vision, temporarily... You will have to
pause and will not be able to see where to step next,
momentarily, and perhaps you might even stumble and take a
fall, but in My eyes, it is all perfect.
In many ways, it's not so much that I - the Perfect - come to you,
but you finally come to Me and arrive at the point where you are
totally ready for Me, ready to see with My eyes, ready to feel with
My heart, ready to become like Me (1John 3:2).
88 __________________________________________________
I expect you to come to Me, to make an effort! You can't just
sit passively waiting for Me to make everything happen in your
life! As you move toward Me, I move toward you.
With the intensity you seek Me, I will come and give you the
answer and allow you to find Me.
Keep your eye and vision on Me, no matter what.
The challenges are there for you to tackle and overcome, not for
you to be overcome by them and fold up in dismay!
I'm your principal Ally, the One you can rely on without a doubt,
the One you should consult with most and first of all.
One of the Enemy's principal jobs is to supply you with
legitimate excuses for quitting!
The question is: will you accept and use that excuse? Or are you
going to be wise enough to look through his scheme and plot?
Does your vision go further than that which is immediately before
you? Can you see that there's something going on beneath the
surface of the appearance of things?

down from that wall of your greatest duty, to strengthen your
daily spiritual defenses.
If you allow them, you'll lie there defenseless and open and
vulnerable for the Enemy to take you and leave your life, your
day, a spiritual wasteland.
The secret in the beauty of creation lies in the exact proportions,
and some people still need to develop a sense for the right
proportions. Some people don't know when it's time to stop.
They don't know when it is enough. They try to get so much of
one thing that it becomes too much. It's too hard for them to
snap out of their own rut and change to another ingredient in life
and avail themselves of that one.
That's why it's so important to sit at My feet and learn from Me
each day: among other things you need to develop a sense of the
right proportions, the right measurements and the right
equilibrium in order for your day to turn out well-balanced, with a
well-balanced diet and amount of everything.
Some folks think I just slapped things like air, water and earth
together, nothing much to it; but each of them are very carefully
concocted combinations of ingredients following strict
measurements and an exact balance, otherwise the result
wouldn't have been the same.
You allow the Enemy to unravel the balance of the ingredients of
your day, and the air becomes unbreathable.
No matter whom he tries to use, you just need to be aware of his
intentions, his goal, his agenda, which is the destruction of your
usefulness for Me. He'll use whoever and whatever he can to get
there, that's why it pays to be on guard from the very first minute
of each day until its end...
This battle field of life can become pretty hostile territory when
you allow him to just disturb the equilibrium of things a little bit
and allow him to take a little bit of the proportions, one tiny
measurement of one of the essential ingredients out of your life,
that enable you to breathe properly. After all, that's what those
poisonous gases in warfare are supposed to do: to disable the
enemy and stop him from breathing.
If I'm the air that you breathe, don't let the Enemy rob you of it!
Don't let him kill you with his poisonous gases, don't let him
choke you, suffocate you, don't let him steal your oxygen.
Defend your right to breathe!

When you realize to what greater extent I want to take over

an idea that there's yet plenty of room to grow, plenty of progress
to make.

114 _________________________________________________
The Devil often infiltrates My children's minds with his input,
and consequently they wind up on his wavelength...
Often you underestimate the impact of his input and the extent to
which his input is being spread and made available. One strategy
of countering the Enemy's input more effectively, would be to
counter his doctrines and expose them, nullify what he's saying
by My truth. The problem is that you don't have much of a clue
what you're up against, as well as the sheer amount of input
you're up against.
In public schools he makes it imperative that children sit and
listen to his drool until they don't mind hearing it anymore, start
tolerating it and perhaps even start liking some of it. But even if
they don't, one of the worst side effects of it is that he's killing
any hunger for true knowledge in the effort, since they figure
they're already learning more than enough.
The less you do to counter Enemy input in their life, and the more
passive your attitude about the whole issue becomes, the more
you're giving in to the Enemy and allowing him slowly but surely
to take the reins in their life. It's as if you're allowing him to have
the control over their life, and thus also a little bit over yours,
since they're a part of your life and always a factor that heavily
influences you.
They can become your "Huddersfield," of which the Enemy can
say to both of us, "They belong to you and me!"
Of course, a lot is determined by their choices, but the first step
is up to you to make.
At the rate you're going, they probably will continue to pursue
that which they want, which is basically the essence of what
they're being taught : "Get what you want, because that's your
right, and that's what everything's all about!"
The essence of the Devil's success in his brainwashing
techniques of the masses is that he makes them think that what
he wants them to have is actually what they want.
Of course, the essence of My teachings to counter that would be
to seek not their own will, but Mine in their life, which would
mean the voluntary sacrifice of some of the things they want for
the sake of My will...
You're going to have to turn up the flow of My input and My
power in their life, if you successfully want to counter the flow of
the Devil's input pouring into their life!
115 _________________________________________________
One of the greatest challenges about this adventure of the
life of the spirit is not to allow things and people to distract you;
not to allow them to take the upper hand. Sometimes they will try
to win your favor over the matters of the spirit, but I have built in
some safe-guards to remind you where to find true and ultimate
satisfaction.
It is simply the best for you to stay closest to Me, your helpers,
closer to the Spirit, and not veer into the carnal gear of things,
which will just weaken you in spirit and cause you to fail.
You will only succeed in your mission if you don't make a mess
out of things by trying to do it in the flesh.
It's easy to say, "You've got to stay more in the Spirit!" But how
easy are you making it for them to stay in the Spirit? How
considerate are you of their need to get close to Me and into the
Spirit, how much of an effort are you making, not to distract
them?
It's important to truly mature into true helpfulness, really being
interested in finding out what the people you love really need the
most, even if that will mean less attention for you for a little
while...
Otherwise, it's just childish, selfish behavior. That's one reason
why some people don't want to grow up: they know they can hide
behind that excuse of childishness.
It's a streak that is really just a silly little game.
That's one reason why relationships with your spirit helpers are
important: a relationship with a spirit helper will always be one
without any such games involved. There will never be any
ulterior motives, no hidden agendas, no cover-ups, shows and
pretenses. It will always be about that which is relevant: the
Cause of the Kingdom. There will be some fun and laughter, but
no silliness or foolishness, because the Presence of My Spirit
will always remind you that time is short and to redeem the time,
for the days are evil.
A conversation with a spirit helper will always be educational,
advocating and furthering your spiritual growth. You won't feel as
empty and stupid afterwards, as you often do during or after a
human conversation.
You've got a whole lot to learn from your spirit helpers, and the
more you "hang" with them, the more their spiritual maturity is
going to rub off on you. That's why some of My prophets of old
appeared to be so superior to others, so unwavering, looking
through any schemes and refusing to be bribed by any tempting
offers: they were so in tune with their angelic helpers, since they
spent a lot of time on their own, or rather, not in human company,
but in the company of their spiritual aids and assistants and
tutors. They made sure it was My Spirit which was governing
them, and they didn't allow the affairs of this life to distract them.
No matter how pressing, important or urgent this life's matters
seem to be, including all that is involved in a marriage,
relationship or family, for a man of God, the Spirit and the
spiritual side of things should still come first. Seeking first My
Kingdom and putting Me in the first place in your lives is still
expected of you, even if you have a family.
But it's simply not possible to actually keep Me in the first place
in your lives, without dedicating the appropriate amount of time
to Me without distractions.
That's why true love is sometimes manifested simply in the effort
not to be an additional distraction to the person you love, not
being one of those numerous factors that would try to distract
them from their most important duties in life, which are their
duties toward Me.
Blessed is the one who can silently take the backseat to Me, and
let Me sit there in the front seat with their loved one, who can just
enjoy what's going on and learn from it, and won't insist on being
the center of attention.
Of course, there are other distractions, too, which you will also
have to work on resisting on a regular basis, but this particular
one often tries to claim its "legitimate right to importance" and
needs to be put in its proper place more often than obvious
distractions. For most people, their families are actually their top
and foremost priorities. They are practically their god. There is
nothing in their lives that ranks above them in importance, and
thus they have made a god out of their family.
That's why My teachings sometimes come across as shockingly
"anti-family." But as I told you before, by destroying the
supremacy of little flesh families, I create a bigger, spiritual
Family, and that's what The Family is all about.
It's not that the family unit doesn't have its place of importance,
but it's just not supposed to rank above Me in importance, that's
all, and every now and then, it seems as if everybody can use a
little reminder of that fact. The (carnal) family has come more
dangerously close to getting people to disobey the first
commandment, which is to love Me, than anything else, and
people should be more aware of that.
Those verses about anyone loving their families more than Me
not being worthy of Me are there for a reason, they're not some
kind of mistake in the Bible, as some would assume.
It takes humility to take the backseat to an invisible Lover. But
blessed is he or she who has the grace to display that humility,
which is one of the highest forms of love anyone can manifest for
another, in some cases.
116 _________________________________________________
Seeking refuge and comfort and relief in the Spirit is the only
effective weapon that will protect you from disappointments with
the affairs of the physical world. With the physical world, the
motto applies, "Enjoy it while it lasts," while lasting enjoyment
and a reliable source of satisfaction are only found in the Spirit.
Instead of becoming disappointed, disillusioned or even bitter
over the blows you will almost inevitably experience from life,
you'll be able to take them much more lightly, and they will hardly
even affect you, if you have anchored your hopes and affections
in the Spirit World where you simply won't be disappointed.
Most of all, and principally, the Spirit World stands for Me, My
relationship with you, but I also want you to keep in mind that
you're not just dealing with one single Individual here, but a large
company which constitute much better company than is
available to you on earth right now.
If you're looking for perfection, then you need to look to Me, to
the Spirit World.
Receiving your regular fill of the perfection you find in the Spirit
helps you to cope with the imperfections in those around you in
the physical world - including your own. The view you receive
from Us reminds and comforts you that even though your
situation isn't perfect, everything's going to be alright.
Just because there are those who are still full of hopes and
aspirations concerning this life shouldn't make you want to
begrudge them that earthly joy they're still hoping to find. That's
true and mature love, when you can rejoice in the happiness of
others, even if it may seem that you're being "left out" or you're
not benefiting from it yourself.
If you know how to get your personal needs met Here with Us, in
the Spirit, then you can say, like I did to My disciples, "I have
meat that ye know not of." They may still need physical sources
of joy and happiness, but you'll have found that inward Source,
the Source of the Spirit. It's not as if you're altogether ready yet
to give up the joys of this world completely, but you're in the
process of discovering that the satisfaction the Spirit renders is
more lasting, more effective, more real than the fleeting physical
joys.
They can go hand in hand, too, and one can enhance the other.
Staying in the Spirit certainly enhances your times of physical
enjoyment. That spiritual contentment is what will enable you to
be content with the "manna" you're receiving in this life and
world. You won't be constantly craving for the pleasures of
Egypt, but you'll be satisfied with the humble but sufficient
supplies I provide for you. You won't be playing the game of
"Gimme, gimme more" that's going on all around you.
This will be specially expedient in the times of scarcity to come,
when the pleasures of Egypt will abruptly cease, and survival will
become a matter of continuous miracles.
117 _________________________________________________
The Enemy will try to revive your ego, and make your own,
carnal self strong, remind you that you can do it yourself, and try
to get you to rely on yourself and your own carnal strength as
much as possible, just to avoid your letting go and letting Me and
My Spirit take over and take control.
You don't need to be afraid of one of My Holy Spirits taking the
upper hand in your life and taking control over your life.
You have to make a constant positive decision of saying "yes, I
want You" to My Holy Spirit.
To totally trust Me means gaining the victory over the fears and
lies the Enemy will plant in the heart and mind.
You've got to know that you can trust Me; that you've asked Me
for bread and I won't give you a snake or a stone. You can trust
Me that I have given you a reliable source.
You’ve got to make an effort to make a difference, to be an
exception, to be an extraordinary sample of someone who puts
more emphasis on the spirit world.
It's hard to stay focused on the spirit world in the middle of all
the physical hubbub, it takes an effort.
You've got to be determined to see it through! You've got to know
that nothing else matters.
People who have committed themselves to the other side seem
to have it so much easier in this world... After all, they've
committed themselves to the god of this world. He's not going to
fight them when they want to surrender to him and his spirit.
That's choosing the easy side in spiritual warfare. But it's the
easy side only because it's eventually going to turn out to be the
losers' side, promising temporal victory and being "kings" in this
world, but paupers in the world to come, unless they turn around
and dedicate their lives to My Cause, the one true Cause.
People will sense that that's what's different about you: that you
have committed yourself to that true Cause.
Even if the majority may dwell in blindness, ignorance or
darkness, there are those who also made their choice for My
Cause.
118 _________________________________________________
(S.H.:) Turning from a deceiver into a prince of God is the
purging process - wrestling with God and not letting go before
the blessing, and finding out which of the two is stronger. -
Finally winding up saying "You win" to God, and surrendering to
Him, giving Him the respect which truly is His due.
Eventually you come to see that everything He does and
everything He did was because He loves you, and all of it was the
best of all possible options for you. After all, you discover, He
knew best, and He did what He knew was best, thankfully, despite
your own initial protest and suspicion of ulterior, less noble
motives on His part.
What makes you really want to mature is that sample of how
much the Father cares for you. Then you want to turn around and
bestow some of that same care on others, too. You want to share
with them of God's goodness. You consider it would be unfair,
even treason, to want to keep all that love exclusively for
yourself. You just couldn't possibly do it. By doing so, you would
prove yourself unworthy of all His care, His attention, all the
lengths He went to in order to teach you effectively.
"How to effectively get them to care for others" might be the
description or title of one of God's main points in His agenda for
our lives.
You're tossed into the world as a selfish little human being, and
your higher destiny and purpose is to become something else,
no longer selfish, but selfless and caring for others. No longer
living for yourself and for what you can possibly consume, but
dedicating your life to the service of others.
Not everybody is destined to become a Florence Nightingale or
Mother Teresa. But you can nevertheless learn to become more
mature, more mindful of those around you and their needs.
119 _________________________________________________
About children, if you think they're stupid or selfish, they will
sense it, and of course they won't be attracted to you. Your
negative attitude toward them will work like the wrong pole of a
magnet.
People sense it when you look at the negative in them. "People
who like people are the people people like." Anybody can "not
like them." But it's tough, and a challenge to learn to like them
anyway, in spite of their failures. Try to look at the good in others,
for your own good.
120 _________________________________________________
There is hardly ever a distance between you and Me that I
would consider "close enough." I always would like you to
continue making progress in your walk with Me and your true
knowledge of Me, really getting to know Me.
Sometimes your marriage seems to stagnate because there
seems to be a halt in the process of reaching out to get to know
each other more, as if you both already knew everything there is
to know about each other... There is hardly anything sadder than
that.
Just as there will always be more from Me you can find out and
discover and get to know, there will also be constantly new
angles and new things you can discover about each other. It
doesn't always have to be the same old thing. It takes an effort to
dig it up, it takes forsaking some of the old rut, it takes daring to
step onto new territory together, that you may not have been
familiar with, previously.
It takes trust, that the direction your partner is leading you, will
be a good one, even though you may not be familiar with it. It
takes trust in Me, that when I gave you each other, I didn't give
you a serpent or a stone, but good bread to eat, that I knew what I
was doing in creating you for each other and giving you to each
other.
Sometimes you've just got to drink the cup I'm handing you, even
as I drank the cup My Father gave Me to drink. There may be
moments when you're tempted to pray, "Father, take this cup
from me," but if in the end you're willing to say, like I did,
"nevertheless, not my will, but Thy will be done," I promise you
won't regret it, you won't regret having trusted Me fully; it will all
be worth it in the end, and you'll see, there could have been no
better result possible than what I am going to bring about
through all this.
You may have preferred a "shortcut to happiness," enjoying your
rewards a lot sooner, having your cake and eating it, so to speak,
heaven now and hereafter, but that's not always how it works.
Sometimes you have to wait a little for the main rewards yet to
come...
"It's human nature to want the best of both worlds," but the
suffering is nonetheless inevitable. Sometimes I just have to
remind you that this world is not your destination yet... there is
more to come, you cannot have all right here and now.
As beautiful and as rich and full as I try to make this earthly life
for you, sometimes I simply have to remind you that this isn't
Heaven yet. There is too much going wrong with this world, this
is not your destination, not the place of your rest, not your
reward; this world is not your Home. You can try to make it as
cozy for yourselves as you can, as all those unbelievers do, who
don't care much whether there is anything else after this life, but
there will always be reminders of the fact that this is not your
final destination.
The words "enter into the joy of thy Lord" do apply to some
extent in this physical, earthly life, and I want you to experience
My joy, but you won't really hear them in their full meaning of the
phrase until you come Home where you really belong. The magic
of those words will never really work fully until you get Here
where all is joy. As long as there are still people suffering from
the injustice of the world you're living in, how can you ignore it
and experience the total bliss I have in store for you? Only once
you've come Home and know that you've done all I expected of
you, all I knew you were able to, in order to help alleviate the
suffering of others the best you could, tried to bring Home with
you as many as you possibly could, only then will you really be
able to enjoy it all the way your heart longs for.
That is the dawn you're walking toward through the shadows of
this world, the light your soul is longing for. Your attitude should
be more one of anticipation than one of having already entered
into rest and enjoying your rewards.
For this would be a false attitude, based on the deception many
of My children live in, in this world, that they think they're just
about in heaven already, and they can really lord it out over the
rest of the world... Almost acting as if this earthly kingdom of
theirs were My eternal one.

Remember you're not at home where you are, but that your true
Home is still waiting for you. Don't sadden Me by acting as if you
were home already and feeling perfectly comfortable where you
are, as if there was nothing better to look forward to. Talking
about disappointments... Anyone who settles for what this world
has to offer and thinks it couldn't get any better than this, is a
disappointment to Me, because they show what little faith they
have and what a tiny little limited box they seem to need to put
Me in.
Don't settle for the illusion that I'm not greater than anything the
usurper can come up with in order to make this life constitute of
as much of a thrill as he possibly can in order to entice you away
from Me and get your vision and focus off your eternal Home!
Be thankful for every less-than-perfect day to remind you that
this world is not your home, for too many of My believers seem
to have forgotten that, and seem to think that this is all the home
they'll ever need... They know they'll have to leave it someday
when they'll die, and so they try to "bribe" Me with alms, and they
try to reserve themselves a fancy spot in heaven with their
money. But when it comes to heavenly rewards, I can't judge
anyone by how much they give, but by how much they've got left
and still could have given.
121 _________________________________________________
You have to make sure that your work is bathed in a spirit of
trust and calm. It's important that I am in it. But My Holy Spirit
can be easily shooed away, when She feels like She has been
replaced by some spirit of feverishly trying to accomplish
something, instead of fully leaning on Me. You know how it is
when you don't feel needed. You don't want to just barge in on
people who give you the impression they're doing perfectly fine
without you, doing things in a way or a spirit quite distinct from
yours, and act as if the last thing in the world they would need
right now is someone coming in and telling them they ought to
be doing it differently.
Fight for a greater Presence of My Spirit in your work and at your
working place.
Yes, there is a lot to do, it's true, and time is short and you
should redeem the time. But redeeming the time also means to
"pray without ceasing" and making sure you're spending every
moment possible in the right spirit, in the company of the right
spirits, and you're not giving any place to the evil one, which can
easily happen if you allow yourself to become irritated, upset or
aggravated.
Let your m.o. be one of full possession and heavenly thought
power, where the room is buzzing with holy spirits and the
Enemy wouldn't dream of even sticking his nose in!
122 _________________________________________________
Whenever you get the chance, pray! It will make all the
difference in the world. It will show that you're relying on Me and
on the Spirit to get it done, you're not just trying to pull it through
in the flesh. You're giving Me a chance to work that way.
Just give Me a chance to work through you, to shine through
you. It's almost as if you're having to receive Me anew each day,
saying "yes" to Me afresh each day, making the decision again
and again to take Me instead of what this cold, dead life of the
flesh has to offer. You're saying "yes" to Heaven when you stop
to pray and give Me a chance to work through you. You're then
not only making the choice that eventually you're going to go to
Heaven, as you did when you first prayed to ask Me to come into
your heart, but you're making choices that allow the forces of
Heaven to become active in your life right now.
The Enemy is trying to slow you down and reduce your
fruitfulness for Me.
Whereas, if you just stay close to Me, no matter what happens
and is going on around you, My Spirit will just keep working in
you and through you, and there's nothing whatsoever he can do.
You've basically got to ignore all the shiny temptations that might
cause you to give yourself the glory, instead of Me, and other
things he will try to use to divert you.
Gandhi was a good example of a man who seriously strove to
resist temptations. He saw them for what they were and thus was
always able to discern the truth. While those around him kept
falling for the usual lies and temptations, the lust for power, the
lust for revenge, etc., he just kept seeing the truth through it all,
and that's what you can do, to, and what can be the difference
between you and church Christians with all their highly
sophisticated technical equipment to keep their show-business
Churchianity on the road, with your simply saying it the way it is,
saying what's essential, without all the other big ado about it.
Life is supposed to have a meaning, and be meaningful; it
doesn't consist of all those other frills everybody's so busy
acquiring all the time. And you're driving home that point,
bringing things back down to the simple issue of the meaning
and purpose of things.
You can do a million things each day, but what good are they, if
you've forgotten what you're doing them for? It's good if you see
your path before you clearly each day. There are times when I'm
having you go through the fog, without seeing clearly where you
go, but even this is to strengthen your spiritual senses of greater
trust in Me. I can lead you with My Spirit, even if you can't see
anymore with your eyes where you're going or supposed to go.
The Enemy tries to muddle things up a lot, and then it takes
some time for regrouping, for letting the mud disappear again
until the vision becomes clearer again and you can see where to
go and what to do next.
You can't be concerned with audience reaction. You've just got to
keep your vision of what I've shown you. If you listen to the
voices of the critics and scoffers - even the imaginary ones in
your head - you're sunk.
Just remember to let Me and your helpers do it through you. The
responsibility and the load doesn't weigh on your shoulders
alone. We can carry this thing through for you and with you. Let
us bear the gist of it. You just be the vessels we shine and pour
through... Like this you don't have to worry, either, what people
may think about you. If it's My thing, not yours, then I can take
care of the "image," too, and the way it's going to come across in
people's hearts.
"Little is much, if God is in it." Better than to wait until
everything's perfect, which might never happen. The emphasis is
clearly on the message. The messenger doesn't stand in the way
of the message, absorbing the limelight for himself.
123 _________________________________________________
There will always come a point where your own tolerance
level will be stretched by someone even stranger than you, or
stranger than the last "strangest" person you've had to cope
with.
It's the "embracing the leper" process in the life of St. Francis
and of many true followers of Mine.
Shutting anyone out who doesn't look according to one's own
standard simply doesn't live up to what I said about loving the
least of My brethren the way you would love Me.
Seeking to be loved by everyone will only leave you disappointed
by everyone's incapability to live up to your unrealistic
expectations.
Your motivation has got to be love for the people.
You've got to stay on the rock bottom of the ground that what
you're doing it for - whatever it is you're doing - is love, and
without love it's nothing.
Humbly do whatever you're doing for love, and let that love be
clearly seen in your interaction with those around you, even if
sometimes they may seem to be harder to love than anyone far
away you don't have to deal with.
How real is your love? Where are your limits?
There always comes a point of more love and understanding
than you've previously had.
Everything else is only a distraction. Everything else will
sometimes only keep you busily going through the motions of
avoiding the very essence of what life is all about: "love thy
neighbor" - that person closest to you, you're living with, and
having to deal with face to face, that you cannot avoid or evade -
"as thyself."
When you can accept and truly embrace the lowest of the low
and let them know you're one of them or they're one of yours,
that you consider that there is no difference between you, but
they're equally loved by Me as you are, then you've become real.
I've always been the Hero and the Champion of the one lost and
forgotten and neglected sheep. If I knew the 99 were safely in the
fold, My sympathies, My concerns and My love would go out to
that one lost sheep, strangled out there somewhere in the
brambles, the brushes, the shrubs of the confusion of this world,
and often I have wondered why those in the fold were always too
busy pleasing themselves to ever come out and assist Me.
It's part of being the real thing. Your love for the one lost sheep,
the lowest of the low, the least of these My brethren, determines
just how real you really are!
There is a goodness that goes beyond any confessional
differences. There is a goodness that expects of you to be kinder
to those who are not your own, who are different than you, than
to your own kind. That's what many of the Jews couldn't
understand about Me: how could I be so kind to the non-Jews,
the Gentiles, the heathen, the "wicked?" Surely, I had to be a
sinner, too, like them.
What I was showing them was that in the eyes of God, it wasn't
going to matter anymore whether you were a Jew or a Gentile,
but whether you were a child of God by being a child of good.
Those who chose to do good over evil, and those who chose to
recognize, accept, receive and believe in the Good when they
saw Him or heard about Him, those were to be God's children
from henceforth.
And likewise there will come a time when I will make it clear to
the world that it doesn't make any big difference whether you're
calling yourself a Christian, but how you live is what matters, and
how much you have given and done in order to make sure that
those others, who apparently did not know Me, or perhaps did
not want to know Me because of some despicable and loveless
sample of one of those supposed believers and followers of
Mine, would be given the chance to see a true picture and
illustration and token of My love by the way you lived.
God would not be God, nor would He be righteous, if He only
allowed nominal Christians into His Kingdom, who - although
they were supposed to have known the truth - lived a worse
sample of what I stood for than some or even many of those who
claimed not to believe in Me, because they didn't want to be any
part of the hypocrites.
Can you blame anyone for not wanting to be a Christian today
with the sample that Christians at large give to the world? Just
as it is said "he is not a Jew that is outwardly a Jew" (Rom.2:28) -
in the flesh, so I will also say, he is not a Christian that is
outwardly a Christian, in name and in title only. But how much
are you really Mine? How much can you really claim to be Mine?
How much can you really say that you are My bride, that you
have loved Me intimately, have heard My voice speak to your
heart, and how much have you obeyed that voice? How much
have you gone forth, accepting and bearing My seed and
bringing forth fruit unto Me? How many children have you borne
unto Me? Can you truly call yourself Mrs. Christ? Are you truly
My wife? Have you truly employed your life in service to Me, or
were you just one of the countless slaves of Mammon, who every
once in a while offered a little token, a small sacrifice to Me, as
one would throw a bone to a dog under the table?
That's why I have said, "I will have mercy, not sacrifices." I'm sick
and tired of little sacrifices that mean nothing, I want love. Love
is the only acceptable sacrifice.
124 _________________________________________________
Every person is like a country to explore. You may love it or
hate it; consider it foreign or your own, but there is always
something to explore. The saddest thing to do is take it for
granted. That's what a lot of people do: they never explore their
own countries, they're just interested in far-away lands, and
equally, they're not very interested in the people they're familiar
with.
Oh, they may be very patriotic and act as if they don't love any
other country as much as theirs, but - how much do they really
know their country - or their loved one? How much time have
they really invested in getting to know all there is to know and to
find out about them?
125 _________________________________________________
You still have to learn to shut off the "emotional
circumstances" that the Devil often creates, and see past them,
see through them as illusions. They're spirits that are causing
them. Spirits that make you feel unwell about something or
someone, but you have to realize they're often either lying or
hindering spirits.
They're trying to get you to disobey Me, by creating illusions or
fake obstacles in the path of doing what I've been asking you to,
so that you will use them as an excuse, a "legitimate reason" not
to do them. You must find out how "legitimate" those reasons
really are. Are they real, or just mental fabrications by the
Enemy?
You may feel as if you wouldn't be welcome, and you don't want
to intrude or bother anyone with the message I have given you to
pass on to them, but you have to realize that
whenever the Enemy is trying to tell you why you shouldn't be
expected to actually do something I told you to do, you can
safely assume that he's lying. After all, that's what he's best at.
It just about the only thing he's good at: faking things,
concocting lies, creating illusions, deceiving people. He's truly
the great deceiver, and it is by his deceit that he destroys. In fact,
by his deceit he gets people to destroy each other. He doesn't do
much of the dirty work himself. But he delights in watching all
the wreckage and carnage he causes by his lies and deceit.
That’s why hearing from Me does make a big difference. How
else will you be able to tell what's going on? You should be glad
that you're already getting a chance in this life to clean up, sort
out and rectify some of the mess you made and caused, instead
of having to wait until you get Here. Believe Me, you'll be grateful
for this opportunity one day.
Most people don't have a clue about the extent to which they
screwed up until they get Here - totally oblivious to the mistakes
they made and the impact they had on others and the
consequences they brought about. So, be glad you're getting a
chance to recognize all this right now. The end of your book has
not yet been written! You can still change things! You can still
change your act and show that you've learned something! It's not
too late.
Now, when folks get Here, in some aspects, it's too late to rectify
things. I'll let them make up for it in some other way, and they'll
be forgiven, but still it's so much nicer when you've been able to
make "clean slates" as much as possible while you're still on
earth. Make sure that the other parties know that you've muffed it
and you're learning from it. If you have the spiritual down pat, then it's time to prove it by
your works, by your standard.
I'm not expecting more of you than you can deliver. I know what
you're capable of. But the only way I get you to make progress is
by expecting more of you, and in the effort, you stretch your 128 _________________________________________________

Diligence is an important part of love for Me and others.
Part of love is being a good steward over the things I have
entrusted you. Once you've got the spiritual side straight in your
life, and there's no question about that anymore, then it's time to
focus on how you can best and most efficiently put all that
spiritual input into practice, convert it into a living, flesh and
blood sample.

"Serve the Lord with gladness. Come before His Presence with
singing. It is He that hath made us, and not we ourselves."
(Ps.100). Isn't that the problem? That people think they can thank
themselves for what they are, instead of Me?
Show them how wrong they are! I don't demand praise, but show
them that they're going the wrong way, they'll never find
happiness that way. For true happiness lies only in
acknowledging Me and giving the glory and honor to Whom it is
due by respecting Me as the Source of happiness and life and all
things.

I've earned your respect, so to speak, and since "the fear of the
Lord is the beginning of wisdom," I let you continue and grow on
the path of wisdom, past its beginning. Go on, walk down the
road of wisdom. It's a "downhill" road, alright, since it won't take
you to any high places in this world. Just like the wisdom of the
world is foolishness with God, it's also the other way around: the
wisdom of God is foolishness to men.
So, you've got to get used to that "fool on the hill" image, but as
the song says, "he knows that they're the fools," ever firm in the

assumed My knowledge... the real thing; not the fake wisdom of

The people who swallow the System's brainwash, the loyal
slaves of the Matrix, will never accept you as one of theirs.
They could never see their own evil clearly, openly and honestly.
They just don't have the guts to face themselves as what they
really are. They lack the honesty that it would take.
The majority of the world simply lives in delusion, since that's
where the Enemy is guiding them. The biggest problem you have
about preaching the gospel is that they just don't want to hear
the truth! They couldn't live with it.
The truth about what the Matrix really is would be way too far out,
way too horrible for them to believe and accept. That they're

135 _________________________________________________
"A man's life consisteth not..." in the abundance of the
statistics he produces. Lately I'm putting a lot more emphasis on
how you do things, in what spirit, and with which motivation and
incentive, than the amount of things you accomplish. You may be
thinking you're accomplishing so-and-so much and mentally pat
yourself on the back for it, and maybe coast on the laurels of
your accomplishments, but if that keeps you in a spirit of
complacency instead of desperation and humility, then the
purpose of those stats is actually defeated.
The question is not how much you accomplish on paper, but how
much do you really accomplish? How close are you really to the
goal I have set before you, that which you would call fulfilling
your destiny and the purpose for which you were created and
ordained?
Sometimes folks can hide behind some great accomplishments
and achievements of theirs, while all the while really pitifully
failing at what I would really like them to do.
The amount of love in what you did is what counts, not the
statistics. They're just numbers. Don't hide behind numbers,
don't glory in them, only glory in love, and in how much you're
able to truly live in and convey My Spirit each day.
That's why I got so upset with David's counting the soldiers of
his army: he was trying to put his confidence in numbers, instead
of Me. Don't put your faith in numbers, but in Me!
It's like the "abundance" of money on their bank accounts that
some people think their life consists of. Their life and its value
basically consist of a number: the amount of money they have on Sometimes, love hurts. Sometimes there's no way around "the
their bank account. wounds of a friend" or "lashes of love."
Your true value is determined by the amount of My Spirit you
allow to flush through your life. How much do you allow others to
be touched by Me through you? How much do you really give in
order to be able to say you did your best, you gave your all? How
much do you have left? Are you doing and giving all you can?
That's what counts to Me.
136 _________________________________________________
The System's got some mean tricks to enslave people
through fear and pressure. I'm just telling you there's nothing to
be afraid of.
They're not playing fair. "The powers that be" are slowly evolving
into the most evil force to ever have governed this world, and
eventually the time will come when, like My apostles of old, you
will have to make the choice to obey God, rather than men. And
in order to be able to do that, you've got to acquire the necessary
courage and faith to know that when it comes down to it, they're
just bluffing. And if you're willing to go to jail for your beliefs,
because they're going to forbid you to witness, or because you
insisted on living by faith, instead of depending on the System's
social services, what's the difference?
Living by faith is a greater witness and testimony. It's part of
your anti-System testimony. Many of My children are still running
on My instructions of yesterday, when it comes to that.
Of course, you're supposed to live as peaceably and as
cautiously as possible toward those that are without for as long
as possible. But I'm preparing you for the time when there will be
all-out war between you and the System, and that could happen
rather quickly. And like Pharaoh of old, they will have to be
shown and taught that you're not afraid of their threats, because
I'm on your side.
Eventually, My Endtime Underground will have to break with the
System, it's ties with the System, it's dependence on the System.
The System has ceased to respect Me, nor is it really respecting
you on a large scale, and you know from My Word that eventually
they'll start hounding and persecuting you, so you can't live as if
your life and destiny was meant to be one of perpetual peace
with the System.

Everybody wants to be popular with the younger generation,
but it's only those who don't care too much about popularity who
are going to be able to teach them anything.
The most dangerous threat to genuine learning is the illusion that
you're right, there's nothing to change about your views &
attitudes.
In the beginning it doesn't exactly evoke positive feelings to be
corrected and shown that you were wrong, but in the end, the
sincere and true learners will be thankful.
The overall tendency is that the older generation is much too
easily swayed by every little hunch, inkling and whim of the
younger generation, because they want to be "cool" with them,
they don't want to be "passé" or labeled as "Old Bottles."
But being an Old Bottle has nothing to do with age whatsoever.
They'd be much better off with a downright challenge and
confrontation than this constant effort to avoid confrontations,
resulting in pampering them and giving in to their whims and
notions...
Nobody wants to take the risk of losing them, so they bend over
backwards to be nice to them, but the result is often the opposite
of the desired effect.

than love.
The spirit of accomplishment kills that spirit of love sometimes.
Because love takes time to really find out and investigate about
the background of the story, it doesn't judge prematurely. Love
takes the time to care. While the spirit of accomplishment takes
up and eats up that time. It just takes time for the things it deems
most important and worthy, judging by what's to be seen on the
surface. It doesn't dig deeper.
You've got to live with the scrutiny of others, and the
judgment they're going to pass over your words. It helps to make
them more real and to affirm your convictions. After all, if what
you believe turns out to be watertight, and that it can withstand
the storm, then you can know for sure that it's something you
can trust in, rely and build your life on.
It's not the audience reaction that matters; it's whether your truth
will hold when their criticism has finally died down.

You’ve got to keep washing yourselves with the Word every day,
and some folks don't even realize to what extent they need that
washing.
On the other hand, the dirt is what makes the water and the
washing necessary. If you were clean already, then what would
the washing of the Word and the regeneration of My Holy Spirit
be good for?
Most people consider themselves clean and look upon others as
dirty.
But when you look through My eyes, and you have washed your
heart and mind with My Words, you can see through the eyes of
faith and see both, yourself and others as clean by faith. I have
cleansed you, saved you from your sins. That doesn't
necessarily mean that sin has disappeared altogether, just as I
haven't transformed your bodies yet into eternal and immortal
ones.
But it will happen.
To some extent, your salvation and spiritual "cleanness" is only
by faith right now, and it's up to you to which extent you use and
apply that faith each day, and "work out your own salvation."
Some people get saved, but they still remain on a negative
wavelength. They don't apply or use their salvation and My
cleansing power for what it could do for them in this life already.
They will still benefit from it in the hereafter, but they deny
themselves the privilege of using and applying My Salvation
power to the extent they could in this life. That's what the life of
faith is all about: to which extent do you use it, apply it and make
it work?
That's why you see some shining more than others: some use it
more than others... Some take it for granted and don't use it as
much as they should or could, simply because they're happy
with the way things are, and the way they are. In their opinion,
they're already clean enough, they don't need all that much
washing.
Whereas folks with a greater "history" of "dirt" will usually make
sure they're availing themselves much more regularly and
desperately of the hyssop of My Word, and the regenerating
Power of My Spirit. They know they need it.
How much to you realize you need My Word, My Spirit, My Input,
you need Me?
How much do you live in a self-satisfied illusion that you're doing
fine with the amount of Me you're applying to your life already?
With how much or little progress are you content? Will you settle
for less than the best? With how little of the real thing are you
satisfied? How much of Me can you handle before you say
"stop"?
Some kids don't like to take baths. Others think they need one
everyday. What kind are you? If you're clean through the Words I
speak to you, how clean do you want to be?
150 _________________________________________________
Action is not the only thing it's all about. It's certainly very
important, but what's most important is that I'm in it, and to
ensure that, there's just no way around spending the necessary
time with Me.
You don't have to hide behind what you're doing. You can be free
to just be who you are in Me, and that's enough. You can enjoy
Me, and I will make it happen through you. It doesn't always have
to be a painful or laborious process, and the greatest sacrifice
involved sometimes is just that: your time.

You've got the power to control or at least influence the
circumstances, and I want you to avail yourself of that power
more. There will come a time when circumstances will be too
tough and too difficult to just "accept" them and take things the
way they are, and it would be good for you to train and prepare
now, so you'll be ready then to face things in the appropriate
spirit and attitude of faith.
Only once you call on Me and seek My face can you be sure that
the option chosen will be My option and preference, and only
thus can you advance and move full steam ahead in My direction
and in My power.
It's got to be the exactly right balance between going too fast and
too slow, being too pushy or impatient about things and falling
behind, and in order to find that right balance, you've got to
desperately seek to stay in tune with Me.
"There is a way that seemeth right unto a man," but only finding

It is only in the amount of love you have for your enemies
that you can say you truly have supernatural love that exceeds
the natural affection that even unbelievers have for each other.
Sure, it's difficult to love your enemies. Your natural tendency is
to hate them, to cast them out. You'd prefer if they weren't
around. But My love doesn't always prefer what would be better
for oneself.
There isn't much love for others within personal comfort. That's
why the most uncomfortable place for a Christian is a
comfortable place: the more comfortable you are, the less love
you have for others.
I have to allow your love to undergo tests to prove how real it is,
just as I test your faith. I'm trying to find out, how real is your
love?
Your capacity to love has reached its limits, you cannot love
beyond that, and this should show you where you're having to
improve; where you lack, and where you need to acquire more of
what you're lacking.
It’s tough when all you give to a person is only met with
ingratitude, lies and selfishness. It's a tough challenge to love
someone like that... But it serves to show you that your
capacities to love do have a limit, they're shockingly finite, as
you're finding out.
You realize that you have a need, that you're lacking something,
and that's always good news for Me, because it means soon
you're going to be asking Me for that which you lack, for Me to fill
that need, which I always gladly do.
I love to fill any vacuum in your heart, your soul, any empty
space there is for Me to fill.
It's really true: without Me, you are nothing; you can do nothing,
and your love amounts to nothing.
It's always good news for Me when you realize how nothing you
are without Me, because it means that soon you're going to turn
to Me with a renewed hunger and yearning for Me, when you
were just beginning to take Me a little bit for granted again.
Be honest: you cannot love without Me. Your own capacity to
love is embarrassing because I am love, and without Me, your
ability to truly love is zero, and every now and then I need to
remind you of that.
Your capacity to love anyone doesn't stem from your being such
a good person, or because you're such a good child of God, or
any other goodness you might think you have, but only from Me.

punishment, and every person should be interested and curious
enough about the truth to find out what it was in their case. There
are things to learn from life. But so few are willing.
The truth is a bitter pill to swallow.

Life without Me really isn't worth living. You'll find out that there's

Me with you in the things you do - and that's the primary and
most important lesson you have to learn, not to neglect or forget
to do that - it doesn't even matter so much what you do, for I'll be
in it, and I'll be with you, and I'll see you through and will help
you to see it through, whatever it is...

One of the worst things you could possibly do to Me is to
conform to the way others are doing things, thinking you've got
to please them and live up to their expectations...
They're doing their job, and I will bless them and reward them for
that. But you've got a different job!
You know and grasp the spiritual significance of the Family and
the difference it's supposed to make.
You’ve carefully got to guard, feed and fuel that flame, that
sparkle.
The level of love you maintain even just among yourselves is
more important than whatever you try to accomplish for Me. It
cannot be accomplishment for the sake of recognition from all
the others who are just going through the motions for similar
reasons. It's got to be alive, it's got to have life and love and fire
and spirit and spunk in it; otherwise it will just be another
relatively meaningless endeavor.
Yes, I will reward you for your faithfulness to Me, and for doing
what you did, but it won't be comparable to what you could and
really should have been doing and accomplishing by daring to be
different.
You don't have to wait until you've got everything perfect. You
learn as you go and you acquire valuable know-how as you work
with what little you've got and try to make the best out of it, and
then, when the new tools become available, you just swap to
using these...
In the meantime, keep working with what you've got.
You're free. So, use that freedom, and don't let your own fears or
your mind limit you or put you in a box.

You must stay true to the vision, and not compromise the
truth for the sake of conformity and having your peace.
Conviction is the refusal to surrender to any however tempting
truce and settlement with anything but the whole truth.
There comes a time when I will test you to see whether you're
willing to forsake everything and everyone else - and their
opinions - for My sake and for the sake of what I have revealed to
you (like that crazy thing with Abraham and Isaac - be certain
there won't be any applause nor approval from anyone)…
What peace is there when it's not based on the truth?
It's just some temporary truce with a lie, a compromise with a
state of half-truths, a fake peace purchased on behalf of your
lethargy. The price: your freedom and happiness.
Will you cherish that pearl of great price for what it truly is and
cling to it, no matter what? Don't let the Devil cheat you out of
that possession, that treasure, although he may try with many
tempting and soothing offers...
Resolve is an essential ingredient of maturity. It may look to
others like stubbornness. But you'll know the difference.
It’s a time for resolve, certainty and determination to not veer
from the straight and narrow path of focus that I have given you.
Only that kind of resolve, determination and conviction will be
able to truly and successfully lead and convince others, too.
When mere opinions turn into divine assurance, that is resolve.

The Enemy fights very hard in order to stop them from ever
getting into the hands of the people. He doesn't want them to be
rich or profit from them, he wants them to remain paupers. Poor
people are easier to enslave and govern, you know.
What other meaning or purpose could there be for your life than
to give your life in order for others to be able to finally enjoy My
riches, My abundance, My fullness of life? Until then, it's a selfish
life, you take what is yours. But it only becomes beautiful and
worth telling a story about once you sacrifice it for others, give
your life in order for them to live.
Your job is losing your life so that others may find it. It's a tough
job, and a high calling.
If the job is too big, too scary, too awesome for you, then that's

you don't stand a chance of doing it in your own energy.

thought of having to move on elsewhere becomes unpleasant for
them.
When that happens, and you become too attached to this world,
then you've backslidden in heart, and it takes My loving
chastisements to get you on the straight & narrow again.

I don't want you to "fight" for material goods in a competitive
way, the way folks in the System do. But I do want you to put up
a fight for your blessings, for your crown, and all that comes with
it. While I don't want you to fight for your positions in the world, I
do want you to fight for your spiritual position. Don't let the Devil

If you're not going to fight, the Enemy WILL.

But it would be nice if you would develop a little more pride in

People are naturally prone to initially resent and reject the

to become quite popular.
Christianity and religion were not nearly as popular until My

There's nothing that teaches you how to do it like the
experience you gain from learning how not to do it.
The times you fail to spend with Me and to hook up with Me in the
spirit drive home the importance and the need for doing it.
The Enemy is not a long sleeper. He's very ambitious about
gaining control over the world, and if you allow him to be up and
about before you, you grant him an advantage.
You can't gain the upper hand over him by relying on carnal
means or your habitual ways. The only weapons that will help
you gain the victory over him come from My hand and My Spirit.
Therefore seek Me and cling to Me desperately, as if your life
depended on it, for it does.
People who don't know about stopping everything to hear from
Me just go on & on & on in their feverish activities, beating the air
without ever really hitting the mark. Missing the mark is sin.
That's why there's so much sin in the world: they never take time
to aim straight & hit the mark for a change. They never take time
to listen and focus on Me, Who could prevent them from missing
the mark over & over again.
There aren't many who allow Me to shine the light of My truth into
the deepest and darkest regions of their hearts, like King David
prayed, "Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and
know my thoughts: And see if there be any wicked way in me,
and lead me in the way everlasting" (Ps.139:23, 24).
People can even hide behind their good works and keep
themselves busy with doing all kinds of good things in order not
to have to think about themselves.
I'm not saying that people should spend time thinking about their
sins, but I would recommend that they allow Me to show them a
few of their weaknesses and allow Me to help them overcome
them and work on them. And one simply cannot start overcoming
a certain weakness until they become aware of it.
It's something they need to work on!
It may be the most unpleasant of all work, but folks like to sweep
it under a carpet sometimes and just go to work at those things
that will yield a better reflection on themselves and give them a
better image.
That's why some people get stuck and don't make any progress
and come across as immature.
A coach shows the team its weaknesses.

Whatever a man sows, that will he also reap, and with the
measure he metes, he shall also be met. You're going to get out
of life, out of love, out of everything - the same amount you're
putting into it, everything reflects on you with the same intensity
that your own efforts originated in. Half-hearted prayers will only
receive half-hearted answers; half-hearted works will only reap
half-hearted rewards, fruits and results.
You've got to put something into it, in order to get something
worthwhile out of it, that's just the way it goes, one of the rules of
the universe. The boomerang comes back to you with the same
intensity that you flung it. So it pays to put a bit more umph and
zest into it, doesn't it? If you want more, you've got to give more!
If you want to receive more, you've got to send more.
You’ve got to make an effort to give more, if you want to receive

In certain aspects you haven't even yet begun to give, to love, to

You've got to get serious about it, dedicated, devoted.

One's own weaknesses and sins and frailties is what the
Enemy most effectively uses to dissuade people from getting
going in the direction I want them to. They figure it brings out the
worst in them, so they'd better lay low and do nothing. But the
Devil won't start shooting until you stick your head out over the
top of the ditch. You must count on adversities, on problems. The
only way to avoid them altogether is to do nothing, and that is, of
course, precisely what the Devil wants.
You've got to develop some zest, some determination, some
stick-to-it-iveness, gumption, perseverance, some do-or-die
spirit. You can't always avoid all the ugly parts by just laying low
and playing Mr. Nice-Guy. The battle is bloody and chaotic, and
those involved don't exactly come across or strike anyone as
"nice."
Folks certainly didn't think I was "nice," and it's probably the
least fitting term that would describe the event when I was
fighting My battle royal and carried My cross up to Golgatha.
There was nothing "nice" about it. So, don't worry if things won't
stay all friendly and lovey-dovey once you get going.
The only place a battle doesn't look awful and gory is on a
Hollywood movie screen. Reality's a tough fight. You've got to
come to grips with the fact that in real life not everything will look
as nice and as perfect as on the movie screens.
The real thing is the full round circle of everything involved: not
the ugly things filtered out, but the full spectrum of it, with all the
pain and gore and ugliness included. Don't cheat yourself out of
the lessons and the rewards in dealing with the not-so-nice
179 _________________________________________________
Think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try
you, as though some strange thing had befallen you, but rejoice,
inasmuch as ye are being made partakers of My sufferings
through these things.
I use adversities in your life just as I use them in the lives of all
My children: to break them (for "God only uses broken men and
women - no others will do,") to draw them closer to Me, to test
their faith and make them realize that My Word is true and
reliable, and have them depend on Me, instead of their own arm
of the flesh.
That breaking process is a long and hard process, and
sometimes it makes you think as though some "strange thing
had befallen you.” You think something must be wrong with you
in order for Me to allow all this to happen to you. But it's perfectly
normal for all those who follow Me, because it's a war you're
fighting, and you're fighting on My side, and it's no wonder
you're getting flak from those of the world, for I am not of the
world, and neither are you.
What war has there ever been without a battle? This is no "cold
war," nor merely a metaphor, but the real thing. And everything
that's worth something costs something. Every victory costs a
battle.
So, hold on and keep trusting in Me, and know that your brethren
all around the world are going through similar battles.
You're not in this alone. Everybody has their challenge before
them, their mountain to tackle, their burden and cross to bear.
But I will never give you more than you can handle (1Cor.10:13).
Oh, it may seem too much for you at times, but I know you better
than you know yourself - I know better what you're capable of
than you do.
Some day you're going to look back at these tough times in your
life and realize that they were the best thing that ever happened
to you. Right now you may feel tempted to think that they're the
worst that ever happened to you, but then you will realize just
how efficient they were in making of you that which you were
meant to become, and how truly My promise will have been
fulfilled in you that "all things work together for good" to them
that love Me (Rom.8:28).
I have enabled you to gain the victory. All you need is to want
that victory and fight for it!
180 _________________________________________________
There are more important things for you than living out the
desires of your heart, for which there will be all eternity left to
indulge in. I know, you want a slice of eternity right now.
Well, you can have a slice. But first thing's first. The slice of
eternity you can taste right now is a slice of Me and of My eternal
Spirit. The spiritual things must come first, otherwise it will be
just another case of worshiping the creation rather than the
Creator.
Let Me be the Sunshine of your life and let Me light up your life!
Make Me the Sun around which your life revolves!
Remember to keep your eye on the Doughnut, appreciating what
you've got, instead of staring at the hole in the middle, and the
void of your desires, those things which you haven't got, and
which you're tempted to think would make your joy complete...
There's just no other road to happiness than the one of truly
putting Me first in your life. And staring at those things you don't
have yet is the surest way to unhappiness. It's making a god out
of them, instead of Me, and it will have the opposite of any
desired effect! Plus, it causes a lot of hurt for those around you,
since it makes them feel as if they're not really what you want.
Ingratitude hurts, you know?
How grateful are you?
What would make you think that you've gotten to a point where
you deserve more than what you've got?
What have you got that you have not received?
Sometimes you start thinking that if you're so gifted, then you
probably deserve a bit more than what life has handed you. Sort
of like those stars who grant themselves all sorts of luxuries.
They can afford it, so they must deserve it, they figure. But do
they?
It's a matter of ruling now and suffering later. If you play god
now, then chances are you're going to miss out on some of the
rewards later. Isn't it better to join your brethren down in the
arena and playing field of service, instead of sitting in the
grandstands and waiting to be served?
Life is about giving, not taking.
And one of the first steps to giving is to appreciate and realize
what you've got, so that you can give from what you've already
got, instead of constantly desiring something else, something
more...
It's really an art to focus on the Donut, not the hole.
No matter how much the Devil takes away from you, there will
always be more than plenty left to be grateful for.
It's all about gratitude for what you've already got, instead of
applying your majesty of choice to the acquisition of ever more
things you haven't got yet but think you need in order to be
completely happy.
Often, that kind of a life is a long detour that takes you back to
the realization that happiness was what you could have had all
along, had you appreciated those things right at your finger tips.
Happiness is the ability to fathom how richly blessed you are in
spite of the absence of any of those faraway dreams and elusive
items the Enemy reminds you that they're not yours yet.
The surest way to get them is not to chase after them, but to
forget them, let them go, and just enjoy what you've already got.
Even if it's nothing you've got, compared to others: Nothing with
Me is everything. I made everything out of nothing to begin with,
and I can do it all over again everyday in your life, and in the lives
of any other.
Give Me nothing, and I'll show you what I can do with it. That's
why less is more for Me: it gives Me more of a chance to put My
power into action. The less there already is, the more I can
create, supply, provide and fill.
181 _________________________________________________
The spirit of prophecy is the true testimony that gives
witness of Me in the right spirit and in the right way, and is thus
the factor of truth that makes the Enemy really mad at you and
declares you as his real and true enemies (see Rev.12:17, 19:10).
The spirit of prophecy is My living testimony in you that marks
you as the few who are a real potential danger and threat to him.
You are his opponents for real. All the others don't really know
what they're doing, don't even really know for sure who's side
they're on sometimes, much less how to fight properly.
The spirit of prophecy is what paints the true picture for you.
Before that you didn't really know what was happening. You had
some basic ideas, roughly, like some rough sketch, which drew
some of the basic outlines for you. You only see clearly since
you're having Me explain things to you on a daily basis.
You can only really learn to be a true shepherd who cares, if you
allow Me to be that Good Shepherd to you first. Only by spending
time with Me and having Me explain to you what's happening,
can you really let anyone else know what's happening, too.
A lot of people have a lot of ideas. But not everybody has got the
truth, and their finger on the true pulse of things. The spirit of
prophecy is the true pulse of things. It enables you to read the
signals properly. You don't just give a vague estimate of what it
could mean, based on your own free interpretation, but you truly
understand, and you convey that.
It's a pretty powerful weapon, because it's so rare. Imagine you
were one of the only persons among thousands who could see
properly, and everybody else was groping around half-blind, only
seeing vague silhouettes and outlines of things and people
around them. Also, the words and sounds they heard were
blurred and not really meaningful, whereas you could understand
their true meaning. That's just about the way it is.
Most people think the distortions they're perceiving and the lies
they're hearing are the truth, and they're convinced that you're
the ones who are weird, misled, or on the wrong track or channel.
You can't force anyone to accept the truth. You can only give it,
and then it's up to them if they're going to accept it or insist on
keeping their own little perception of "truth."
The spirit of prophecy enables you to bear My true testimony.
You become My living Word by receiving My living Word. You
become prophets, mouth pieces of God and of the truth in this
world. You tell and show the world where it's really at, because
you're seeing things the way I show you they are, without
allowing your views to be tainted by worldly and carnal opinions.
You cannot avoid that there are going to be those who seek to
use, abuse, sabotage and betray you, who seek to harm you and
be a hindrance on your path. But you can pray and commit them
into My hands, just as you would anything else.
This treasure attracts a lot of hostile movement from the Enemy.
He makes you feel depressed and like "How can this be the truth
or anything special, if it can't even prevent me from feeling so
miserable?" And you feel like tossing it away. But as long as you
use that gift and that weapon, it can always pull you back down
to the rock bottom ground of My true Reality, away from the
delusion the Enemy tries to create in your minds.
It's humiliating for people, having to admit that you've got
something they don't. That's why pride stands in the way of so
many to ever finding the truth. Why should you have something
better, something greater, something more real than they? After
all, aren't they doing all the things that should entitle them to the
blessing, the truth, or whatever - much more than you?
That's the way Cain thought, and the memory of his righteous
brother plagued him for the rest of his life. You may kill the
prophet, but you can't kill his truth. The simple and silent truth
that his righteousness exceeded yours, for all your vain
striving...
It requires humility to receive it, obedience to enact it - simple
yieldedness to Me, and quite simply, love.
If you've got love, then you've got what it takes, and all you really
need.

willingness to take responsibility, to be able to dig down into the

It requires having to deal with guilt and complicity in collective
injustice, taking responsibility for crimes and sins you would not

committed.

defend yourself from accusations, and you're just willing to

 Focus on the new! - New openings, new possibilities, new
options, new people, new perspectives and new prospects. The
direction we're moving is forward, not backward, much less
standing still.
If you're really in tune with My Spirit, then it is My Spirit Who will
be moving you, without requiring any actual effort on your own
to move. The only effort you're got to make is to make sure
you're in tune.
The young prophet sometimes is better off not listening to the
old prophet, but to Me, and keeping My counsel in mind, and My
voice and guidance in focus.
Because if they get you to fall or compromise, trip or stumble,
then it won't be their responsibility, but your own, since you
could have just stuck to My instructions.
For God's sake, follow God!
You've got to see Me in it all. Otherwise you're sunk.
Because you keep being influenced by others, by what they do or
don't do, I'm having to keep on reminding you. You're only going
to make it if you keep your eyes on Me.
You've got to see Me! Come and see Me! You've got to make a
greater effort in order to see Me. Seek Me! You've got to try
harder to see Me!
I want you to see Me! It may sound impossible to you, for Me to
demand of you to see Someone invisible. But I'm asking you to
do it nonetheless, because I know it's not impossible.
I have promised that if you would search for Me with all your
hearts, I would let you find Me. If you wish to see Me with all your
heart, I'm going to show Myself unto you!
Just because you don't see more, doesn't mean there's nothing
more to see.
You haven't even yet begun to see! Compared to all that's yet to
see, you haven't even yet begun!
I'm as close as you want Me! I can be as real to you now as you'd
ever want Me to be! You don't have to wait until you're more
mature or wiser or "ready," or until your faith is strong enough.
You can have Me right now in all My fullness, without restrictions
and limitations, as much as you can handle! How much of Me
can you handle? How much of Me do you want right now? How
badly do you want to see Me, feel Me, hear Me, touch Me,
experience Me, live in Me? How badly do you desire Me? It's all
up to you! The distance between Me and you is only determined
by yourself and no other factor.
You figure, "Well, all these people who have known the Lord for
all those years, they don't know Him much better than I do,
either, and some of them don't even know Him as well as I do...
so, why should I make a greater effort?" Because your effort
could change everything! Your commitment can change the
world! Your choice to put more into it, even though nobody else
may be putting that much into it can change the world for better
forever!
Everything depends on you! As far as your life is concerned,
whatever you want to make happen in it, depends on you, your
initiative, your incentive, your vision, your guts, your faith! - Your
determination not to allow yourself to get sidetracked or
discouraged! Your "yes-power."

you ought to be able to do likewise. You don't have to be so
scared of yourselves or disgusted by yourselves. As I have said,
you'd do Me a favor if you could love yourself for Me and be less
tough on yourself, be a lot more willing to forgive and accept
yourself, including all your weaknesses, failures, sins and
shortcomings.
Because that would also help you have a less negative attitude
toward others.
If you're a lover of truth, you've got to be willing to accept and
embrace and seek also the ugly truth about yourself.
How can you learn the truth about others, if you're not even
ready for the truth about yourself?
"Why Shepherding?" You need to be told the things that are
wrong with you, since most of the time you simply don't see
them yourself, and accordingly, you'll miss out on full-scale
reality somewhat. Your view becomes distorted, and not an
authentic replica of the truth or of reality.
People can turn into monsters without correction. They're like
wild beasts who need a tamer. I am the Tamer, but often, they
won't submit to Me, won't allow themselves to be caught and
held by Me, and instead they continue wreaking havoc among
their fellow-humans.
Everyone has their elusive phantoms and bluebirds of happiness
they chase, but the road to happiness leads down the humble
road. God's way of happiness is down, down to the humbling,
humiliation, breaking and lowering of the self, the ego that tries
to play god almighty, if life would let it get away with that.
The phantoms and bluebirds often lead them down the wrong
path and in the wrong direction first, the distractions and
temptations, the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes and the
pride of life... these are not the way to happiness.
The way to true true happiness is the way to God… My way... the
way of giving, the way of sacrificing, the way of the cross... The
opposite direction of where one in his "right"mind would expect
happiness to be. But that's the trickiness and mystery of life.
Things are not always what they seem to be.
You wonder, "Why did You have to make it all so difficult?" But
I've given everyone enough brains to discern between good and
evil. If you follow the path of evil and temptation into killing off
your brain cells, then that's not My fault...
Even simple minded folks can tell the difference. It's just that
sophisticated, modern man has become so screwed up! That's
why You've got to lead them back to the basics, back to the
simple things of life, back to the Garden! It all starts out there,
with the tree of knowledge of good and evil and making the
wrong choices of disobedience. That's where the cover-up
begins, and you have to lead folks back to find the courage to
"strip their souls bare" and come before Me as they are and let
Me show them what's wrong with them and heal them.
As long as they think that nothing's wrong with them, how can
they be healed?

ways of doing things and equipment to do them with, that all
things will come and go, but I am the one Factor that remains.
I bring about those changes in your life to avoid that the same
should happen to you that's happening in so many others' lives:
"Because they have no changes, therefore they fear not God."
It is the changes that make you revere Me, respect and
appreciate Me as the faithful Constant that I am, Who will always
provide you with all you may need, so that you get to the point
where you realize that all you need is Me.
"All you need is love" is correct in the light of 1John 4:8 - "God is
Love," and thus becomes "All you need is God."
I'd like you to become more aware of that fact.
It will help you cope with any losses, changes, any crises and
drastic turn of events & circumstances.
If you consciously make Me the one remaining Constant in your
life, you'll see how easy it will become for you to adapt to any
kind of change.
You won't be stunned by any loss, but will simply acknowledge,
"The Lord hath given it, the Lord hath taken it away," and trust
that I will be there to provide not only a replacement, but usually
an improvement of some kind for the loss you've just
experienced.
As in Job's life: if his first wife counseled him to curse Me and
die when evil befell him, you can imagine that I came up with
some improvement on the stock when I gave him a new family.
The experiences and lessons learned in life are actually more
important, as far as I'm concerned, than the things themselves,
the losses or the gains...
At the end of the day, losses and gains are only numbers and
statistics, and they may have their place of importance to some
extent. But what's really valuable to Me is the lessons and the
experiences they bear, like some deep imprint of life's wisdom on
your soul, that gives your life the real beauty and value.
It's not the things that give you your true value. It's how you
handle their loss, the experiences and the wisdom you gain by
going through those ups and downs of have and have not, of win
and lose, of gain and lose again, and by the way you handle
those losses, prove that you are winning and gaining again, even
if it may "only" be the experience and confidence that the only
thing you can really rely on, really trust in and the only One you
really need, after all, is Me.
Loss is gain if you look at it trough My eyes: it will be the gain of take for granted that it will always work flawlessly, just as you

197 _________________________________________________
I never meant for anyone to try to figure it all out by
themselves. Ever since Adam, I've always wanted man to look to
Me for guidance and reference, to show him what's going on,
what went wrong, and how he's gotten himself into a mess that
only I can fix, when it all comes down to it.
If you go by your own impulses and let only your own senses
direct you, instead of My Word, then you're bound to wind up in a
mess, because your earthly senses will always lead you toward
earthly things and in an earthly direction, whereas only My Word
can truly give you the heavenly perspective of things.
That earthly orientation has rubbed your nose down in the
ground and the dirt to the point where you lost touch with My
heavenly perspective.
Messes have to be dealt with, that's what shepherding is all
about. Whereas nothing is getting sorted out if you just avoid
and ignore the issues.
You need to have conviction and the guts to do something about
your convictions and the things I show you and lay on your
heart, even if it's something as dreadful as opposing and
confronting someone else's opinion.
Opinions are not what leads to the path of life, but the things I
personally show each one to do. And if you so easily give in to
everybody's opinion in favor of the things I've shown you to do,
then it's no wonder you're feeling confused, useless and
depressed.
Are you just going to watch the sheep go astray, simply because
they're so full of their own opinions and you don't want to cross
them, and don't like the confrontation of having to disagree with
them?
Some messes simply have to be sorted out. You can't just leave
them to rot under the carpet somewhere.... Sin or wrongs of any
kind need to be dealt with, that's what shepherding is all about,
and to be neglecting that part of life is to be neglecting one of
your greatest God-given duties. Of course, the Devil will try any
of his weapons in his arsenal to get you to neglect that duty,
including sensitivity, pride, discouragement, whatever it takes.
And you can either go under and surrender to him and drown in
your feelings of incapability and the resultant confusion, or you
can fight.
Sometimes I'm expecting you to say no.
Do Me, yourselves and them a favor by sticking to your guns and
staying true to the conviction that I have laid on your hearts...
198 _________________________________________________
Prophecy is as vulnerable as its vessel.
In exercising yourself in the usage of discernment you must not
neglect the discerning of your own spirit, which is just as prone
to attacks from the Enemy as anyone else's.
It's a good reminder to make sure you're staying on the right
channel.
You always need to be aware that the Enemy will try to penetrate
your channel and cause static and interference.
I allow things to happen to remind you that you're no better than
anyone.
Your gift of prophecy is a vulnerable thing which you need to
protect from the negative influences of the Enemy. You can't just
shall come, then that which is in part shall be done away"
(1Cor.13:8-10).
The Real Thing is Me, the whole of Me, not just that part of Me
called prophecy. You cannot just cling to any part of the elephant
as the whole thing...
Sometimes you just stick to working with the one feature you're
most familiar with, just as you would stick to your preferred
software program, but I want you to try out different features at
times, and not neglect the other important factors about your
spiritual life and walk with Me.
Choose the best weapons and gifts for each day. Don't get into a
rut. Let Me guide you in prayer and by My Spirit in the directions I
want you to choose each day.

There are many who have a portion of My Spirit, but there are
few who are bathing in Her thoroughly, who let Her penetrate
their heart and soul and entire being, and who soak Her up as if
their every breath depended on Her.
I can use those the most who will just let go of their own abilities,
wisdom and stamina and strength, and will lean and depend
utterly on Me.
I like to have vessels and channels to work through. So few truly
let go and let Me. It takes getting to the point of readiness, where
you can truly say, "Now I'm ready for you, Lord."
When a human being is ready to be used by Me, that's a sight
that truly satisfies My heart.
For a human being converted into a truly useful vessel and
instrument of Mine opens up entire new galaxies for Me in the
Spirit. Even a galaxy has its limits, but not the possibilities of
what one human soul can achieve for Me that is truly dedicated
to Me and finally ready to be used by Me without restrictions.
The possibilities are endless, of how that one soul will yet affect
other countless lives and produce a chain reaction that will result
in new life, never-ending.
218 _________________________________________________
I limit Myself to working through your faith. The connection &
link between the physical and the spiritual - the manifestation of
your hopes and dreams - lies in your faith. It's the vacuum that
draws from the Spirit World that which you hope for.
If you hope for something, then act & believe & have faith for it...
walk toward the goal of the fulfillment of your dreams.
You must not only hope, but also believe, in order not to be
disappointed.
I didn't have to persuade anyone to follow Me or talk them into it.
I just said, "Follow Me," and they did.
Don't let doubts or hesitation, lethargy or lack of enthusiasm (=
"being in God") rob & kill the great things I could do through
your united faith!
219 _________________________________________________
I require from you the willingness to continue to say yes to
Me, to My way up, which is down, to My cross, even if that's the
last thing on earth you'd want, according to your natural
inclinations.
Everybody has their idol, their god to give up. For some it's their
position of power, for others it's their position of comfort. For
some it is their relationship or the person they love, for others
their possessions... Sin is what stands between you and giving
up those things for Me. It is what hinders you from hitting the
mark of relieving yourself of those obstacles and distractions
that stand between you and Me.
Once you have managed to give up all those things for Me, there
is only one thing left to give: your life. If you have been strong,
willing and faithful to give up those other things for Me, of which
you may have thought for a time that your life consisted of them,
then you will also be willing to give up life itself for Me.
220 _________________________________________________
Sometimes I draw your attention to a needed change or
improvement by showing you something better than what you
have; a need to learn from someone else who has gone further
than you. It's a way I use to spur you on to growth and progress.
It has nothing to do with status, but it's all about the amount of
dedication and commitment you have for My Cause.
It's convicting when you find someone who's more serious about
it all than you are, who puts more into it, who's more yielded and
dedicated and thus brings forth more fruit. It's easy when others
are giving less or seem to be somewhat weaker. But when you
find someone who is stronger and ahead of you, and more
dedicated than you are, then initially it may make you feel a bit
small in comparison.
If you have no one to look up to, then it can be a bit sad and
lonely at times, up there on that lonely hill or pedestal...
it's like an urge to be as close as possible to the top, the sky... to
Me... without any distractions.
You long for that lonely glorious peak, alone with Me, from where
you can look down on the rest of the world.
You just have that urge to get there, and in doing so, you show
that it can be done.
Having found someone who has even achieved to climb higher
than you did should give you new incentive to keep climbing.
The goal is not yet attained. You may have previously figured that
you got as high as you wanted to go or were able to, and you
were happy with the height you reached, but now I'm showing
you, "there's more."

What will you reap when the summer of your life is ending
and the harvest is at your door? Will you wish you had done
more, sown more seeds and ploughed and tilled the land more?
Or will you enjoy and partake of the abundance that the labor of
your hands has created?
The harvest will tell whether your life's ideology and philosophy
has been the right one, and whether your attitudes and modus
operandi have been the right ones, or if perhaps you erred and
would have been better off adhering to another one. The harvest
will tell whether you were on the right track and listened to the
right voices, or whether you were deceived by what temporarily
seemed to have been the right way, the promising way to
abundance, but the end thereof was emptiness and hunger, and it
left you barren, vacant and deserted, and you wish you had done
differently...
As long as you invest the seeds of your time in Me and My
Kingdom, you can always be sure that it will bring eternal
dividends.
While the years of youth are often frivolously spent in selfish
pursuits and interests and fleeting pleasures, many a man or
woman of Mine has come to the decision of wanting to put more
effort into My work in their later years.
The Devil limits all things: all he grants is temporary, fleeting, and
will come to an end. My time is the generous and never-ending
dispensation, I pour out in great abundance and beyond
measure.
If you sow to the temporal, then temporal and limited will be your
reward. If you sow to the eternal, your rewards will also be never-
ending: they will go on and on and on and on, forever...
So, if you're wise, be like Me; give like Me; invest like Me, and
pour out like Me, beyond measure, in great abundance, never

There is one difference between the Family and the rest of the
world, and that's their little strength (Rev.3:8), their faith to
believe Me for the seemingly impossible, and their readiness,
their willingness to be used of Me and have Me work in them and
through them and do with them whatever I see fit.
It’s your only hope in this life. Because you can't possibly make it
on your own. You need a Family, an army to fight with, even if it's

right team for that future: the clean-up crew has to be complete,
and the ones who will rule this planet and teach people in My
ways must all be found and brought to Me.
As long as folks are focusing in all kinds of different directions
than Mine for their fulfillment and happiness, it's no wonder
there's chaos. They all seek their own thing, and not Mine. They
all want to get their bellies full of fun, and they consider Me
boring.
Why should they be spending time in serious things, such as the
meaning of life? It's plain and obvious what the meaning of life is
all about: have some fun while ya can! And then they wonder at
the end of the day why, after all this chasing for fun and pleasure,
they still feel even less satisfied than beforehand...
As long as they put their own desires first, they're going the
opposite way of where happiness really is found.
Choosing to walk My path is seldom something that can be done
collectively, but is based on individual decisions. You can't
"collectively" make it for anyone. Every person must make it for
themselves.
Having it affect you personally forces you to deal with it. No way
of ignoring the Enemy's workings. No way of getting around
having to deal with his devices and tricks he uses to enter even
the walls of the "very elect" unrecognized.

We need you where you are, but with a good and solid

receiving from us, but also in the way you act, your sample, your
whole way of living, the attitude of faith that goes out from you
that so contradicts and goes against their pitiful and fretful grind.
Convey the message to your people that there's no reason to be
so afraid. "Be of good cheer, because there's Someone, in fact, a
whole dimension full of someones who care for you, are
concerned about you, so, why worry and fret so much? You're all

not to fight back. Learn from Me how to take that suffering and
hurt from people without resisting it, without any attempts of
defending yourself; you've just got to let it be.
That's why forgiveness is such a great and ever recurring theme.
It's not just about forgiving a past hurt that already happened. It's
about forgiving as you experience the pain, it's accepting the
pain, and forgiving in real-time. You won't be shocked or
surprised by the pain, because you've been expecting it, and you
won't just endure it reluctantly or begrudgingly, but willingly, yes,
even cheerfully, if you've been given that grace; that grace to

some of the same lessons I learned, experience some of the
same things I did, and bring forth some of the same fruits,
accordingly; most of all, the fruits of really being able to love and
pardon.
You don't accuse them while they cause you pain, you don't
criticize or judge them or label them, much less fight back with
the same weapons they use, but you forgive, you pardon, you
love. That's real greatness.
You haven't yet begun to love, to forgive and pardon as I did; you
haven't even yet begun to fully grasp the concept of that love, as
long as you're resisting the pain and the suffering and the hurt
that people deal you inevitably when you're following My path.
You still seek pleasure and good times, you still seek the easy
road. But I'm trying to gently lead you away from it, because it's
not your road. You can find real joy if you willingly choose the
path of suffering I have laid out for you. Everyone has a different
path to walk, and this is your path.
To lead and shepherd and guide your people through very
difficult times is the destiny and purpose for which I am
preparing you, so quit seeking the happiness and pleasures of
the normal life, the artificial and superficial happiness that
everyone else seeks.
The true happiness you seek is only found in voluntarily
choosing the path of suffering for My people, the path I have
chosen, and the path that marks the life of everyone of those who
have chosen to truly follow Me, although they all may be
manifested in different ways. What matters is that you accept
your path, and not try to walk someone else's path.
Once you've accepted your path and you realize that the
suffering is nothing strange about it, but that it belongs, and that
it just serves to eradicate the impurities, you'll also find yourself
of greater service to My people, and find that there will be those
who'll receive your healing, your message, your sacrifice... just
as there were those who did receive Me; those who make it worth
it all.

to fight.
The Enemy won't leave you in peace, anyway. He won't stop and
give in until he has you either conquered or defeated and out of
the way, and thus far you have reluctantly fought back whenever
he attacked you, but now is the time not just to defend what
you've got, but to go on an all-out attack to snatch territory away
from him that he is unrightfully usurping from Me.
This is about your Kingdom, your Country, your future, your
status as either victor or one more who's been conquered by this
fraud. He thinks of himself as some kind of a great field Marshall
and warlord, when in reality, all that he is, is a destroyer. And all
he'll accomplish in the end is wreak considerable destruction
and wreckage.
Distraction is the name of his game, in order to ensure your
destruction. That's why you've got to remain vigilant and on
guard, and not only that, but now I'm asking you to come off of
your defensive position and strike him a unanimous blow.
Show him that you're not afraid of him! Show him that you've got
his number, and that you've got him pinned down, and that
you're really convinced that I Who am in you is so much greater
than he could ever dream of being. Now that I've begun to show
you who you are, show him who you are!
You may be some kind of upstart, compared to his millennia of
fighting experience, but that that won't stop you from challenging
him, from daring him, yea, from defeating him!
It's true, you wish you had been more diligent in your preparation
for this battle; that you had gotten more acquainted with your
weapons and had taken this whole war more seriously... But you
can still make it. With Me on your side you can't lose, whatever
happens.
I need you to defy him. I can't just let him take the floor and boast
that there is none to challenge him, the way Goliath did before
the children of Israel. You can be My David, the young lad who
took up the challenge with but a slingshot and a sword, and you
can knock him out, deal him a mortal blow.
There is a time for everything: a time for peace, and a time for
war, and this is a time for war. Now is the time to advance and no
longer retreat, but to use whatever you've got on the battle field.

your days more efficiently.
You've been scared by the churches into making sure whatever
you get is "kosher" and "from the Boss." Well, the disadvantage
of this is that you can sometimes cheat yourself out of
opportunities to grow and make progress in certain areas the
Lord would like you to expand in.
Times are pretty desperate, and the situation is pretty urgent, and
desperate times call for desperate measures... The early
disciples and apostles didn't know exactly what hit'em when they
were filled with the Holy Ghost... they just used the power. You
have been given a greater understanding of how it works, and
sometimes that knowledge stands in your way to really availing
yourself of it more effectively.
You figure you fare more safely if you just stick to one Voice, the
Lord's.
You're not so fond of being confronted with additional choices
and decisions, such as, "which helpers am I supposed to avail
myself of today?"
But if you stay open for any of us to talk to you at any given
moment, then a lot more can be accomplished.
We're a team, you know? And it's growing, too. There's a lot of
action around you, constantly, in the spirit world, and it would be
good for you to become more conscious, mindful and aware of it,
so that you can participate more in the action, and allow us also
to participate more in your actions, and be more involved in your
day.
Maybe we can help. Be open for help from us at any given
moment. See if there isn't something we can do for you... a
problem you need help with...
You could and should have a lot more prayerful attitude as you
do your work, and stay in tune with us more.
Praise Him for your pain and discomfort. Accept and drink the
cup He has handed you to drink, the cup of your suffering. Don't
murmur about it, but rejoice that you have been found worthy to
suffer for Him.
When you're trying to get something done for Him, and it
becomes more difficult because the Enemy is allowed to touch
your body with some pain or discomfort, then you're suffering for
the Lord's sake, right? And that's a privilege.
The Lord has been trying to teach you to take everything and
accept every situation you face as a challenge or gift from Him, in
the light of Romans 8:28.
If you praise the Lord for your pain and discomfort instead of
moaning and groaning about it, you'll notice the difference!
The Lord allows them for various reasons: to slow you down, or
not to take things for granted, to keep you humble, dependent on
Him, or simply in order for you not to start feeling too much at
home in this world and keep you remembering that this world is
not your home, not your resting place, but to keep your vision
and focus on the world that's to come.
Let them make you sympathize more with the millions of people
who suffer in this world, who don't know His healing power.
For every problem there's a heavenly solution. Your task is
merely to find it and avail yourself of it.
It is work, sometimes. It takes time and elbow grease to
implement them... But you won't get around that. Life simply
takes time living.

Most humans try to get around Me, their helpers, and those
who feed them what their spirits need.
Humans and animals alike prefer to stick to their own kind, if they
can, and if they have enough fellowship with their own kind, they
don't care much for other kinds at all, much less superior ones
who, they figure, might lord it out over them...
That's why "Ratatouille" was a nice example of an animal that
was interested in the other kind, ready to learn from them, even
though there were lots of hurdles and prejudices to overcome on
both sides...
That rat was actually able to pass on some of its skills to
humans, too.
We in the Spirit World learn a lot from the things you're going
through in the physical. We benefit from the tastes you're
developing, the savors and flavors you come up with, and it's
something that works both ways... You're helping us, in a sense,
to cook the master dish, and you slap in your own ingredients to
the Big Picture, which make it perfect and round it off just the
way it's got to be... Something We wouldn't have been able to do
without you.
I need each and every one of you to contribute your special and
individual part to My ""potpourri" or "ratatouille," as it's called in
French.
You're also learning that I'm not nearly as bad and hostile as
most other "rats" perceive Me to be, but you're one of those
pioneers of inter-racial relationships who prove that there can be
friendship between "gods" and men...
Everything has a meaning.
There are few who aren't oblivious to the meaning of everything,
or even the very concept of meaning.
I appreciate any help I can get from you in getting them to see
beyond their physical needs, to help them to catch a glimpse of
the heavenly flavors that are yet to be savored and discovered,
whole new dimensions of enjoyment, similar to the way the rat in
the movie taught his brothers about the varieties of food...
If your eyes are open enough, you can see Me in everything, even
in a story in which My Presence doesn't seem to be too
obvious...
Communication with the other, the different, that's what it's all
about: the re-unification of all things... the restoration of the
peace and unison that was there between My creatures in the
beginning, and not be so stuck on your own kind only. You can watch a movie and read a book and learn a lesson from
it. But nothing is quite the same as personal experience, when it
Many people seem to be getting along better with animals than

Nothing means as total a break with the System, as joining
the Family.
The grass always looks greener on the other side, especially to
My sheep, for whom the Enemy, the great Deceiver constantly
puts up new magic acts, specially featuring and presenting the
glamorous, glorious and oh-so-wonderful other side, trying to
minimize what it is that you've got over on your lawn, among
your own flock...
Maybe an alternate version of your reality or of your church, your
Family, whatever, might look better upon first glance. But upon
second glance, who knows whether you might not have gotten
yourself into a bigger mess?
268 _________________________________________________
Contrary to the ways of the world, the quality and quantity of
My "natural resources" aren't diminishing, but improving,
gaining and progressing with your increasing abilities to absorb
and process what I'm giving you. You are not only becoming
clean through the outpouring of My Words to you, but you're
growing through them, your spiritual equipment and "pipes" are
being improved and enhanced, and it's truly a noticeable
development.
You've been wondering about those Promises of Mine, of eternal
life, that are all over the Bible. Sometimes the evidence of what
you experience in the physical seems to be exactly the opposite:
you grow older and weaker, your body obviously deteriorates.
But what really counts is the spirit! Your spirit is being
rejuvenated, invigorated, and by reading those words of Mine
you feel young again.
And that's only a shadow and tiny foretaste of what's to come
and what's there in store for you!
Whatever you give and pass on has got to be inspired, if you
want it to inspire others. It cannot be just cold, dead facts or
figures or words... It's got to be alive.
It's got to be more than what's coming from your own carnal
mind.
That "little strength" you have is your receptivity to My signal,
which is relatively weak and quiet, compared to all the blaring
noisy signals the Enemy is sending out into the world, and it
does require a certain skill to stay tuned to My signal.
269 _________________________________________________
It's all about learning the futility of the ways of man,
compared to the ways of God.
You’re learning how vain and futile the carnal efforts of man are,
and how his way, brought to perfection, will only result in the
ways of death.
You've had to realize just how much man's ways oppose God's
way. You've had to learn that God's way up is down. You've had
to make all these, what you might call negative experiences, in
order to glean wisdom from them.
You've had to go down that road and taste from your own
experiences, the hurt of your falls, just where it is that man's way
is leading, and how much better God's way is, in comparison.
There would have been no easier way to really drive this point
home in a lasting and effective way.
comes to learning. You can only glean so much from watching
others and learning from their experience. What will stick with
you forever is your own experiences, your own pains and hurts
and consequences of your own poor choices and mistakes...
270 _________________________________________________
It turned out that making the right choices is sort of a rare
phenomenon. It's not something that everybody does all the
time. People are much more attuned, in general, to their own
desires, wants, inklings and cravings, than to My bidding, and
even those who do want to serve Me, usually prefer to do so on
their own terms, within a well respected church or environment.
Not many are willing to pay the price for discipleship that is laid
down in My Book: persecutions, sufferings, being a stranger in
this world, slandered and lied about, and taking up your cross to
die daily.
271 _________________________________________________
I want you to be a people of praise, known for your praises,
your praiseful attitude, and your manifestations of love for Me.
I need you to show the world that there is another level of
spiritual maturity to attain.
Show them an alternative to immature Christianity.
272 _________________________________________________
Whenever the Devil fights, you can assume that you're on the
right track. If you weren't invading his territory and posing a real
threat to him, he wouldn't care, right?
Believe in the miracle that some will be healed and delivered
from their addiction to the lie.
Your job is to give the message in spite of any circumstances!
I'm leaving the ball in your court, no whining about
circumstances accepted. It's time for you to rise above them and
look beyond them, to accept the power I have given you to
change them or to act in spite of them!
273 _________________________________________________
Are you going to give in to the pressures of the world when
they come knocking at your door?
Will that little temporal peace you will have gained by just closing
your eyes and ignoring the issue or shunning the confrontation
have been worth the results and consequences of compromise?
274 _________________________________________________
You may have to dig a little deeper in order to find more
precious gold & jewels from My mines and from My mind at
times. Just because you've learned to mine them, doesn't
necessarily mean that it's always going to be equally easy, or that
the flow is constant. Even the mighty river has periods of more or
less water.
Sometimes you've got to show a greater desire and show just
how much you really want it, and that you want Me and My input
above anything else, which isn't the case all of the time.
Sometimes you're simply more interested in other things...
There's still much for Me to show and teach you and reveal to
you, but the question is, are you ready for it? Do you really want
it? Are you hungry for it?
I'm not interested in becoming a habit or ritual for you.
I like to satisfy you and fulfill and make you happy, but there's
got to be a certain hunger and vacuum.
I'm not interested in taking the second place in your life.
Most of My children aren't interested in communicating with Me,
and at times that's the reason why I'm not about to say much to
them, either.
Sometimes I have to allow them to undergo times of testing and
trial, of temptation in the wilderness, and Gethsemane... Times
when they feel like "Why hast Thou forsaken me?"
Sometimes that leanness, emptiness and darkness was precisely
what was necessary for the making of a man, the making of a
warrior, or the making of a champion...
You have to keep trusting in My love, fairness and faithfulness,
even when I don't seem to be present, knowing that there is a
good and perfectly just reason for what is happening. You can
always find the cause for that silence or apparent "absence" in
your own heart.
If recognition and admission of your own sins is a prerequisite
for Salvation, you can assume that it applies to other areas of
your life as well, such as My blessings or manifestations of My
gifts...
But you can always count on My readiness to forgive and to
receive you back again with open arms, as soon as you're ready
and receptive again for loving communication with Me.

As well-meant as leniency may be, the result and the end of that
road can be fatal. It's one of the Devil's best camouflages of
"love" ever. In reality, it's only the parent's own desire to be
loved, instead of having to deal with a confrontation.
You settle for the immediate reward of your child's gratitude and
affection, but will reap hell for it later...
Sometimes, being a parent is just a real tough job, and it's a real
tough fight, a downright battle.
True and successful parenting is for warriors, because you must
stand up and wield the weapon of truth valiantly and faithfully,
stand true to your convictions at every turn and be willing to take
blows for it.
Otherwise, the Enemy himself will conquer you through your
child by his disarming techniques. He will tempt you with the
promise of your child's immediate love and affection, in order to
let down your guard, give him yet another inch, and another, like
the camel's nose, and he'll threaten you with horrific visions of
the loss of your child's love if you dare to be as "foolish" to be
tough and hold up a standard that is true to your inner
convictions, the convictions based on the laws and rules laid
down in My Word.
It's easier to build a fence at the edge of the cliff now, than a
hospital at the bottom of it later: a firm fence of My Word that
lays down the rules and limitations in their hearts, so that they
won't go astray from Me.
Sure, it's work. And you keep hoping, "Oh, maybe everything is
going to be alright, and they're not going to fall at all... Maybe we
shouldn't worry so much..." But then, if you have any experience
with kids at all, you know that if there's a danger, and if there's
something they're prone to fall into in all their experimenting and
trying out the world, they're more likely to fall into it than not.
It’s your duty as parents not to close your eyes to the danger and
hope for the best, but to do what you can in order to keep the
dreaded fall from happening.
You have waited so long with the building of the fence that you're
probably not going to be able to build it without any protest from
them: "But I don't need any protection! You're not granting me
any fun and freedom! You don't trust me!" etc. And so you're
much more prone to taking the risk. "Oh, maybe we'll be lucky!"
Well, you know My stance on luck!

282 _________________________________________________
Members of a family don't expect little sister to come up with
solutions to their problems. You're too familiar with little sister
being so little, and you're not used to relying on her for support
& counsel. Besides, "little sister" has shown herself to be prone
to certain problems in the past that make her even weaker in "big
brother's" eyes.
But then, if we should judge everyone's capabilities by their
weaknesses, there would be quite a few surprising and shocking
disqualifications.
The solution would be to go out of your way and make sure that
you don't judge their thoughts, opinions and ideas as irrelevant
or non-valid by always being an attentive listener, and showing
that you give their ideas a chance and don't fall for the
temptation to dismiss them prematurely.
Your actions speak louder than your opinions of yourself.
Just because you're nice and attentive and respectful to
everybody else doesn't automatically make you an attentive and
respectful person, as long as there are still certain people to
whom you fail to show these qualities. Just as every chain is only
as strong as its weakest link, your status as "attentive" is only as
valid as the attention you are paying to the least of My brethren.
It’s relatively easy to be attentive and polite with people that
aren't constantly around you. The real acid test comes with the
people you see every day. If you can still really pay attention to
them, and show interest in them, no matter what they've got to
say, then you're showing interest and paying attention.
It's no coincidence that "paying" is the thing you must do in
order to show or give someone your attention, show you care
and pay them due respect.
It's one of those things that money theoretically can't buy. The
sad thing is, a lot of people are being respected more for their
money than for their character or personal attributes. So,
showing and paying attention to someone for just being
themselves shows that you don't judge or go by the standards of
the world.
It would be easy to show them the necessary respect if they were
a millionaire or would spout off really wise and educated,
impressive things all day. But what are the attributes that really
count, according to My book? Certainly money and brains are
not on the top of My list!
Let's see what's there: love, loyalty, dedication, faith, faithfulness
in the "little" things, and obedience to My commandments to
show love to others, especially by witnessing to them...
When you see that they fulfill those criteria, then don't you
reckon that you should pay her the due respect, accordingly?
You're supposed to esteem each other higher than yourselves,
preferring one another. How much do you practice that? You're
really only practicing it as much as you do with the person you
have the hardest time with.
Your general weight as a practicing believer and disciple will be
heavily influenced by the score you achieve with those you're
most familiar with.
They’re the people you spend most of your time with. That
shouldn't mean that you owe them the least respect and
attention, but the most.
If faith without works is dead, then it doesn't really matter how
much more Word you know in theory. What counts is the extent The Enemy represents the ugliness, the weight, the dark and sad
to which you put your faith into practice, how much you are memories. I and My Spirit of freedom represent the opposite:
actually living your faith.
You could learn a lot about paying respect and attention to the
"little" people around you who really deserve it, for in My eyes,
they're not just the "little" people, but the real stars, the
important people, the VIPs and spiritual millionaires!
You'll find out that there's lots you can still learn from them, that
they may still surprise you, and that their calculations are valid
and true, worthy to be trusted and reliable.
You would do very well to take more of a humble seat and seek
the fault in your own court when there's a problem arising or a
quarrel about something, or some difference of opinion. You
must show greater willingness to admit that you were wrong and
have erred about certain things; you need a humbler attitude in
general.
If I don't judge you by your faults, weaknesses and
shortcomings, then how much less should you. That would be a
literal fulfillment of the parable about the guy who was forgiven
his debt but wouldn't forgive others their minor debts!
If I am showing you respect in spite of your problems, then you
ought to be paying them respect in spite of theirs. You cannot
just label people for their problems and stop listening to what
they've got to say because of them!
You can trust them for what they have to say! It's worth listening
to, even if at first if may not seem that way.
It pays to listen to the "little" people that aren't so "little" in My
sight, that make your living possible with their everyday's "little"
things that aren't so little in My eyes, either, and their seemingly
"little" things to say, that may not make sense at first.
Some of My greatest treasures come very well camouflaged. It
isn't all gold that glitters, but a lot of stuff that doesn't glitter can
turn out to be gold in the end, too.
Focusing on My positiveness, My omnipotence, My
omnipresence, My sense in everything in spite of the apparent
absence of any such thing as sense.

When you hurt each other, you tend to close up toward each
other. That means you've got to wholeheartedly forgive and
forget all those incidents in which you've hurt each other, and
give each other a new chance and start clean slated each day
anew.
You've got to make that conscious effort of seeing each other
with new eyes each day, from a clean angle, free of any ugly
memories from the past, of hurts you may have caused each
other.
It's a little foretaste of what Heaven and My Kingdom will be like:
starting all over, clean-slated. That doesn't mean that past crimes
and sins won't be dealt with, but once they're dealt with, they're
also going to be forgiven and as good as forgotten, and people
will get a chance to start all over again clean slated, without
having to carry any remorse over their past around with them.
It's that kind of taste of heaven you've got to be for each other
every day: "It doesn't matter whatever you did or said in the past
that may have hurt me: I know you're doing your best, so I'm
going to forget all that and just delete it, and I choose to see you
with brand new eyes.”
Of course, the Enemy will try to remind you: "But don't you
remember what he (or she) did to you?" But you've just got to

just doing it is all that matters. But that's not how it's supposed
to be. Whatever you do should glorify Me, and in order for that to
happen, you've got to be in tune with Me, and that takes time to

They don't seek Me for My new and living words, they're building
their lives on the writings of a man - however divinely inspired
they may have been - who lived 2000 years ago, oblivious to the
fact that the same God who inspired him 2000 years ago is still
alive and talking today.

Your relationship, your marriage, and your little family are the
touchstone of how real you are. Deception stops when it comes
to truly intimate relationship: it's the perfect touchstone and
proof of the pudding as to what kind of person you really are.
Many people have totally different faces when they're out among
the crowds, doing their jobs, or in front of their audiences, etc.,
but once they're at home, there are a few people there who know
who they really are.
If you can't manage to convince your wife and children that
you're a nice guy, and if you can't manage to make them happy
and make them laugh every once in a while, then it's probably
because you're not a nice guy, period, and you might have to do
some serious work on your character.
You can come across like Gandhi to the outside world, but if at
home you're letting little Hitler hang out, then something's
wrong. You're only as real as you are being at home.
Learn to be as real as can be at home, so you won't have to put
on any act when you go out. Just be you - the same old you -
wherever you are: the same one when you're at home as when
you're before a crowd.
In the end, there won't be a lot of folks in the world thinking
you're a nice guy, anyway, but rather, a dangerous religious nut.
And the only peace you will have, which will also keep you from
swallowing the lies the Devil will tell the world about you, is that
there's a handful of people, your closest friends and loved ones
around you, who will know who you really are.
You may have had some weaknesses, and sometimes you were a
downright pain in the butt, but at least they'll know that basically
you had a good heart and just tried the best you could to make
the most out of what you were given...
It's tough when those who oppose and slander you are from
among your own, but that's the kind of treatment and treason I
experienced, and if I did, haven't I promised that you would
experience the same?
Of course, it's sad when there's war between brethren, but as you
can tell from history, it's what the Devil has been up to since the
beginning. There will always be repetitions of the story of the fate
of Abel and Cain, in different forms, as long as the Devil is
around...
These stories that discourage you and tempt you to give up, just
as Adam was discouraged... devastated, when Abel died. But
there is no giving up, no stopping. The "show" must go on
somehow, and eventually, another righteous heir will be born,
It’s pretty hard to recognize sometimes. Even My disciples didn't
have a clue what I meant with "the leaven of the Scribes and
Pharisees" (Mt.16). They thought I was talking about bread. Only
as times went by and history unfolded before their eyes, the
Pharisees saw to it that I was crucified, and later they witnessed
the stoning of Steven, the rage of Saul, before he was converted,
etc., then they got the point, and realized the difference, between
the dead and empty religion of the Pharisees, and the powerful,
new way of life I had brought into the world.
All I'm asking you is to preach the Word.
No big, fancy, wonder-group or wonder-church with light shining
from everybody's faces, that would make it so easy to just drag
people there by the dozen.
You really have to dig down and study the Word: "Are we really
right about this? All those others are telling us we're wrong..."
And all you've got is My Word to give you the faith that you're
right about all you believe in.
All I have to offer you is the truth. Nothing more and nothing less
than the plain, naked t.r.u.t.h.
That's the thing that I said was going to set them free.
It may not seem all that much, compared to great outpourings
and supernatural manifestations of My Spirit, and a congregation
of thousands living together and speaking in tongues and raising
the dead, like in the Book of Acts...
Just the little, plain old truth.
You ask for a universe full of wonders, and all I'm handing you
instead is a tiny little shabby old key.
It's because I leave something up to you. Everything you wish for
is yours for the asking, but you will have to stick that key in the
door yourself and unlock it and open the door yourself! And once
you have found all the wonders hidden behind those doors I
enable you to open, all you can do in turn is to pass on that key.
You can tell them all that expects them behind those doors of
mystery, but they have to turn the key of faith in that truth
themselves. They have to accept it and use it.
You're saying, "Lord, if you could just make it plain and obvious
that we're the right outfit, I'd go out and tell everybody. But like
this, I'm not quite sure what I should tell them."
Well, just give'em that same old key I gave you, that key of truth,
that key of faith, and tell'em, "This is the key to the Kingdom!"
"You want heaven and happiness and love ever after? That key is
what's going to get it for you!"
It may not bring you riches in this world, nor popularity, nor a
great many other showy and flashy things, and it won't solve all
your problems in an instant, but at least you're going to be able
to know some day that what you have got is the truth. And in a
world of lies, that is something really extraordinary and special!
It may not look like it's worth very much. It looks shabbier than
all those fancy golden keys those others have got, that open up
big fancy treasure chests, with golden and glittery music coming
out of it, smiley faces, and popularity...
But when their music is over, the magic of your tiny little key will
unfold. It will stand the tests of time.
Stop seeking what those others have got!
Stop seeking that which attracts the wrong kind of attention! A
lot of those guys are into Christianity because it's being made so
darn easy for them. "Join the in-crowd!" "Here, in our cool
American church, we're all so happy together, and you'd be a fool
not to want to join us, because we're the kings of the world, and
we're all happy and dance and sing and love Jesus!" "You can
have heaven here and now and later, too!"
That bread is baked through and through with the leaven of the
Scribes and Pharisees. It looks very yummy and inviting. So
much bigger, sweeter and more tasty than what you've got, that
relatively lean and flat loaf of bread baked without any of the
leaven of inflated egos and "better than thou" self-righteousness.
If they feel like the champions of the world, you feel like the
losers.
But maybe that humble little bit you've got is worth more than all
their fancy acts together, and maybe you should just be happy
with it!
Maybe you should just make the most of it that you can and while
you can, and offer the world a bite of your unleavened bread, and
the never-ending Source of it!
It's natural to want to be able to offer something appealing,
something comfortable and accepted, something nice and shiny
and flashy. It's humbling, having to say, "Sorry, all I've got to offer
you is the truth," especially when they reply, " Can I just go play
with my friends instead, or go and watch this movie or read that
book?"
What are you going to do with this test? Where else are you
going to go? Who else has the Words of eternal life?
296 _________________________________________________
The Enemy is trying to prove that the world doesn't need Me
nor you. He's trying to play Me, the great filler of every need, of
every hunger, and he is nearly triumphant now and saying, "See?
Everybody's happy now! Who needs You now?"
But you need to look a little bit below the surface. It's true that in
the pampered West they're glutted with everything one may crave
- physically or intellectually - occupying and distracting their
minds, but not ever really satisfying their hearts.
But when it comes to those nations against whom the evils of
those glutted nations are being perpetrated, and their friends and
neighbors standing by, you won't find that same bloated self-
satisfaction. You'll find uproar there, and deep anger, a righteous
rage that's soon going to sweep the world and cause a mighty
widening of the eyes.
I will yet pull out the pillows from under the arms of those who sit
at ease in Zion.
I cause the wrath of man to praise Me. The wrath of those who
see the injustices of the lukewarm will cause men to praise Me,
because it will serve to wake up many from their stupor and the
Devil's trance.
When things don't appear to be the way I tell you in My Word,
then you must look deeper. You must look beyond the
appearance the Enemy is trying to create.
How much are you in tune with My reality? How much do you see
through My eyes, and do you see and hear what I perceive, not
the impression or picture the Enemy and the world portray? How
much do you fall for their show?
When somebody wants to be the friend of the world, then they
just have to go through that experience of what it means to
become a temporary enemy of God.
Even if you're My child, it means you are putting yourself on the
other side of the battle field, actually siding with the Enemy, and

It is painful, when your child seems to be infatuated with your
Enemy.
There is nothing wrong with the picture I portray, about the
harvest being plenteous. The Enemy wants you to partake of his
version of the story in which he's saying, "Who needs you and
your Gospel about your God?- They don't want it! They're
perfectly happy with all I've got to offer them!"
Are you going to fall for it? Are you going to let that reality of his
rub off on you - his way of seeing things? Are you going to
swallow it?
Or are you going to defy his lying vanities and hang on to My
truths and stand on them, knowing that My Word is true, no
matter if everything around you may seem to be screaming the
opposite?
it may seem as though nobody needs or wants My Word. Are you
going to believe that and buy that impression of the way things
may appear to be? Or are you going to stand fast on My reality,
which continues proclaiming, "the harvest truly is plenteous"?
If you can't see that the fields are ready and white unto harvest,
and you know that My Word is true, then something must be
wrong with your view of things.
Pray and make an earnest effort to break through to My reality.
Come, see through to the bottom of things! Come see the void,
the vacuum, come see the need! Come and see what you have
not been able to see before. Believing is seeing, remember? If
you believe that My Word on this is true, as it is in all other
instances, then you also will see it.

following in My footsteps. Too many of My followers still insist on
wanting to look like the winners...
It’s natural to want to belong to the "winners."

If there's one little way in which you seek the glory for
yourself, it will fire back on you somehow.
It takes a whole lot of desperation, sincerity and humility, a real
whole-hearted effort, to make sure you're really giving all the
glory to Me, and you can't just take it for granted that that's what
you'll be doing naturally.
Greater saints than you have caught themselves wondering if
they were doing what they were doing for selfish reasons and
motivations of putting themselves in the limelight.
The natural thing is to want the love and attention for what you're
doing yourself. The supernatural thing to do, that which only I
can enable you to do, is to do it all with only one purpose and
intention, and that is to glorify Me and Me alone, and it doesn't
exactly come natural to you, nor is it always easy for everyone.
It isn't even easy to recognize that you're not doing it. That's why
so many false prophets out there keep preaching without
realizing that My light has gone out in them.
So, you must make a greater effort to seek My glory alone. And
one way of doing that is by praying more for My guidance in the
things you're doing. Seeking Me and making sure you're getting
ahold of Me with an attitude of nothing else matters.
Make sure it is Me you want to show off, not your own wit and
talents!
They’re not interested in the element of self. They want pure
beauty. And they can only enjoy it, if there has been enough
humility on your part to make sure that you don't care who gets
the glory, as long as I get it.
Making sure that I get all of the glory takes quietness and
stillness of heart, because it takes time to find out what it is that I
really want.
If people see you in it more than Me, or instead of Me, then it's no
good...
You've got to duck & get out of sight. Otherwise, it's also you
they're going to try to hit. There are various dangers involved in
letting them see you, instead of keeping your camera focused on
Me.
They will blame you for anything you said that wasn't politically
correct, that came in a spirit of "thus say I, not the Lord."
Life isn't all about constantly collecting new little revelations and
bits of wisdom, but about learning to apply them. Until you make
them real and make them happen in your life, it's all just so much
head-stuffing.

evil, or simply duped into fighting for him, while they think
they're fighting on My side, you are My real warriors, and the
Devil knows who his enemies are.
He knows he doesn't have to worry about those lukewarm church
people; he's practically got them in the sack. He couldn't stop
them from becoming Christians, but he was sure successful at
stopping them from ever being anything like revolutionary
Christians.
They just did what they have always done: clear the heathen
temples of their idols, put a few crosses in them and convert
them into "Christian temples," never ever paying heed to the fact
that I don't dwell in temples made with hands, but that the Father
seeks to be worshiped in spirit and truth.
They just took the heathen idols out of their part of the System,
replaced them with Christian symbols and idols, and called it
"Christianity," all the while never having to leave their
comfortable situation in the System.
They have their "presidential prayer teams" praying for the
troops who are slaughtering the innocents by the tens of
thousands. No wonder the world is getting sick of Christianity. If
that's Christianity, I don't want to have anything to do with it, and
I don't. They're going to have to reap the repercussions and
consequences of their actions themselves, and they will have to
bear My "Depart from Me, ye workers of iniquity, for I never knew
you."

It isn't always easy to do all things purely for the right reasons...
That's why I'm helping you remember, and one of the ways I do
that is, usually, by allowing things to go a bit haywire...
When things go wrong, you wonder, "Why did they go wrong?"
And that's when you can think about what you may have done
wrong that caused things to go haywire... It's humbling, but it's
necessary.

It's the crushing of your life that brings forth the beauty of
your songs.
As soon as someone has reached the top and is comfortable with
where they are, they "lose it," as you have observed with so
many singers in the world: they lose that desperation, that heart
cry that makes their songs real.
As long as you stay unrecognized, rejected, unwanted and
persecuted, as long as you are forced to cling to Me and Me
alone in desperation, and you have no other "substitute" to
threaten to take My place in your life, you can be assured that the
"honey" will flow forth from your life.
The Devil really is god in this world, while I am the Stranger, and
all My true followers have been pilgrims and strangers, unwanted
outcasts.
The sufferings are precisely the factors that make you appreciate
Me and all I am for you, and they draw you to Me in a way that all
the good times in the world never could.
317 _________________________________________________
You ask Me for your daily bread and safety and all sorts of
things, but why don't you just ask Me for more love, if that's what
you need?
"Thy will be done on earth, as it is in heaven." What is My will?
That people love each other. So, ask Me to help you to love more!
"Thy will be done" means, "let there be more love," for if the
greatest commandment is to love, then it's obvious that that's
what My will is. If you're asking for My will to be done, what do
you think My will is? Peace and truth and righteousness and all
those things, yes, but how do they come about? By love.
While it's somewhat important to recognize the weak spots in
people, and not be fooled into thinking they're not there, it's also
important to rise above them, just as you would any other
obstacle. Sins and weaknesses are for overcoming and fighting
and winning the victory over them.
If you see a weakness in somebody, start seeking a way to try to
help them overcome it with My help. If you see the problem, do
something about it, look for a solution, don't just resign in the
face of it.
So much is up for you to do... or to ask Me to do...
318 _________________________________________________
Showing and admitting your vulnerability after you've been
hurt requires humility.
You don't have to camouflage your hurt as cynicism.
That’s just another one of those "games people play," and you
don't need that.
You ought be mature enough not to have to resort to pretending
to be the cool guy who's got a smart joke on his lips in answer to
all the problems & challenges this life is leading him to face.
There are other, better ways to cope and deal with them, like
honestly and openly addressing the problem, the fear the hurt,
the suspicion.
Sure, it sounds more scary than the comfortable way that
enables you to remain in the shadow, allows your feelings to stay
out of the picture, and you can just keep pretending to be the
cool guy who is miles above it all, and all those things can't even
faze him.
Well, the time for that game is up, and a new and better game has
been introduced.
319 _________________________________________________
Since love is My commandment, it becomes somewhat
obligatory. Once you voluntarily, out of your own free will and
majesty of choice, made the decision to obey and follow Me, love
becomes a thing you've just got to do, no matter what. There are
no legitimate excuses for not loving.
It's relatively easy to love Me, Whom you have not seen, but
perceive as perfect, compared to loving those whose faults and
shortcomings you see before you all the time. The question is,
how real is your love? How far does it go? How long does it last
with those less than perfect?
It's easy to love those who do you good, when they do you good.
And then? Don't you think you ought to train your capacities to
love to go a little bit beyond that point?
Otherwise it's just like the Devil's justice - or his idea of "love,"
which rewards only the deserving. That's why he's constantly
accusing you - My saints - before Me, asking Me to withhold My
blessings from you because you don't deserve them. He thinks
it's utterly unfair that I should bestow My blessings, My love, My
protection and care on disloyal and weak, undeserving
characters.
I just happen to have more faith in you and more patience with
you than he does. How about you? Is your love as short-lived
and as accomplishment-oriented as his? Does it only go to the
"deserving?" Or am I your Teacher, Who prayed on the cross for
those who put Me there, "Father, forgive them, for they know not
what they do?"
What's your standard of love? What's the measure you go by?
Are you being stingy with your love?
The Standard of Love is an eternal, timeless standard. It's an
unconditional standard. It's the Standard of the Eternal, as
opposed to the finite standards of the temporal world, all of
which will cease and come to an end.
When you consider your accomplishments, your works, and
everything you did throughout your day, how do they measure
up, against the Standard of Love? How much remains when all
else is stripped from it, except for love, and how much love you
came up with?
All other standards will eventually fail and cease.

Often that which is conducive to immediate "happiness," or
fulfilling of a temporary craving, will take one in the opposite
direction as far as their eternal happiness is concerned... their
outcome in the Big Picture.
The biggest enemy and handicap and obstacle in the way of the
Big Picture is the immediate "little" picture, that which appears to
be so big right in front of your noses, like the carrot on a string
on a stick held in front of the donkey's nose... That which you
immediately want and makes you run blindly into a certain
direction: "I want it, I want it..."
Learning to decline, and not yield to the immediate temptation of
what one wants in the present, is one of the major contributors of
beauty to the outcome of the Big Picture; the rare exception of
those who did not give in to the urges of the here and now.
Where are all those numbers that testify of your success, the
affirmation that you were on the right track all along, indeed?
Well, sometimes it takes a little waiting for that affirmation to
appear, which then also wonderfully brings along the numbers
you so anxiously were waiting for, such as the three and five
thousand converts won shortly after Pentecost, the affirmation
for all My believers that in spite of what it seemed, they were on
God's chosen path, after all...
Read the tales of Paul and all the hardships he had to endure,
often with no evidence that he was on the right path except that I

would continue to spur him on in spite of any circumstances: "I
know Whom I have believed, and am persuaded that He is able to
keep that which I have committed unto him against that day"
(2Tim.1:12).

That's what vision is. It keeps your eyes on the goal in the
distance and thus keeps you from becoming distracted by the
immediate little issues of here and now and instant satisfaction.
You're willing to chew your way through another rough stretch in
the faith and hope that the outcome will be well worth it and
make more than up for it.

Spare them some of the pain by making it tougher on them to

If you make it hard enough for them to make the wrong choices,
then they will think twice about making one when they're older.
Nowadays parents not only make it too easy for their children to

The wrong thing would be to give in. That's what the Devil
speculates on, and his secret of success: his false, sugar-candy
coated version of "love," love that knows no restraints, and
permits anything, and lets them run right into their own ruin.
Sometimes, love consists of the ability to say the word "no."
Love isn't always saying "yes" whenever your child wants
something. Love is saying "no" when they want something that's
going to be bad, or even only "2 nd best" for them compared to the
eternal rewards they're forgoing by not choosing the very best.
There's no telling of the rewards they're going to reap for having

to Me and to My World!"
I've got to make sure you don't feel too much at home in this
world. As long as I know you feel strange here, and you feel very
strongly that some things aren't right here, that there's got to be
something better elsewhere, I can assume that you're going to
show up at My doorstep, asking Me to take you by the hand and
lead you someplace better.
I can't fulfill all your dreams and desires right here and now in
this life, or you wouldn't be looking forward to what's there to
come... You wouldn't be desiring My change and My revolution,
My metanoia...
Like this, you keep praying, "Thy Kingdom come!" You know that
it hasn't arrived yet, contrary to the way some Christians seem to
perceive things.
I have to teach you to stand up for your convictions, stand up for
what you know to be the truth, even if what you believe is not
popular, or if it puts you apart, as has happened to a lot of My
heroes throughout the ages.
If I would let you get away with leading the life you please, you
would hold it against Me when you come Here: "How could You
let me get away with that?"

that it's a highly complex environment and basis for all life and
nourishment to thrive and become possible on this earth, an
extremely thin and extremely precious layer that used to cover
the earth and is now dwindling at a shocking rate.
Even with dirt, you gotta know what you're doin'. And the Devil
doesn't. He just creates his fake, but it doesn't bring forth any
life. So, you've got to discern between "good dirt" and "bad dirt."
Not all dirt is the same.
The good dirt is what I allow in your life. Call it sin, weakness,
temptation, trial or testing, sickness, whatever. The bad dirt is
what the Devil will try to make out of it, if you discard My good
dirt prematurely!
What can originally be good dirt that is necessary to bring forth
new life, if you discard it too early and think you don't need it,
can turn into the useless dirt of the Enemy: a real problem with
self-righteousness and pride, etc., that's going to be really hard
to get rid of.
So not even dirt and dirt are the same.
You can never just look at the surface and at the appearance.
You've got to become a well experienced and wise farmer who
can distinguish between what kind of dirt will grow good food,
and what kind of dirt is useless.

So, don't discard the "bad" things, the unpleasant circumstance I

allow to come into your life prematurely and don't wash it all
away or try to get rid of it by force. Chances are you might need

what's most important in it is that you run the right way. You've
got to keep the right goals in mind, and you've got to run this
race for the right incentives, because if it's just pride that
motivates and spurs you on, instead of love, then there's no
chance in a lifetime you're going to be among the winners.
Because pride and other false motivations will drain the energy
and life-blood out of you. The only true incentive that will help
you to keep going until the very end is love. And of course the
Devil will seek to replace that by any false incentive, if he can,
and that's what you've got to be aware of.

to be.

355 _________________________________________________
The greater the need for Me, the more swiftly I'll be there, and
with greater force will I rush in and fill the need.
With all those millions of people out there living in the illusion
that they don't need Me, I am desperate for exceptional folks who
are dependent on Me, who are desperately in need of Me. I need
you to need Me, because without folks who need Me, I'm never
going to get the job done. It's only My power that's going to
enable anyone to do the job of winning the world, and so I need
people who are desperate for that power!
I delight in your incapability because I know that's what's going
to drive you into My arms and make you beg for My power and
grace to be poured out upon you, so that I can go to action
through you and in you.
A "professional" means someone capable of availing themselves
of My Power.
Having learned that your own strength isn't enough is one of the
prerequisites for being a professional disciple.
Playing games is something for kids. But when you grow up to
be a man, you're supposed to lay aside childish things, as Paul
said. Nowadays, everybody wants to play and stay a child for as
long as possible. Very few are really serious about life, much less
about living their lives for Me!
That's why it often takes quite a few years until I can get a person
to the point where they're willing to lay everything - all that
playing games - aside and follow Me. It took Abraham getting to
the point of "looking at his own body as good as dead," and yet
"he staggered not at the promise through unbelief" (Romans
4:19, 20).
Not many young people are even interested in characters like
Abraham, Noah and Moses these days, because youth has been
so overly glorified by the media.
But "It's NOT by might nor by power but by My Spirit" (Zec.4:6)! I
want to be the strength and power of your life!
You’ve got to refuse to let the Devil lie to you and discourage you
to that extent where you get to the point of wanting to quit. That's
precisely what he wants!
So, when you get that kind of flak from him, it's a sign that you're
on the right track, and that you must be doing something right!
The way to success is a way that doesn't always look like
success from the start! It's a rough & rugged way, and often
you'll be tempted to wonder, "What in the world am I doing here,
anyway?" There won't be rounds of incessant applause. It's a
rough & rugged, lonely road! With so many jumping off your
wagon that you're tempted to ask the last few who remain, "Are
you also going to go away?" But then there will always be a
faithful few who will end up blowing your mind, making it worth it
all!
When the majority has deserted you, the nice surprise is the few
who stick! Who needs the majority? Who needs large masses
and crowds? All you need is a handful that stick!
356 _________________________________________________
You won't make it, trying to please both, the System and Me.
If you want it the System's way, then go the System's way, but
don't try to keep pretending that both is possible: going My way
and the System's, at the same time!
Make your path free of comparisons. You need to focus on your
own way ahead of you as a unique and individual path I'm calling
you to walk, and believe that if this is truly the path I've ordained
for you, that there will be others to join you in this path, but even
if they won't, that it is still the path I want you to walk. You cannot
let others dissuade you or listen to their criticisms of your path,
just because it's not the path they'd like you to take.
Few people want to go through the trouble of learning about the
souls of other people; what makes them tic, and much less do
they want to find out the hard, raw truth about themselves and
learn how to deal with it.
The truth is a bitter little book to swallow, hard on the belly, and
only prophets are usually brave enough to eat it. Only the chosen
ones choose the red pill of the truth and nothing but the truth
about themselves and about everything else.
The Internet is the Devil's version of the "great link." That's why
he even tries to get you to find your inspiration and information
there instead of having Me and your helpers reveal it to you from
the spirit world. You must learn to use it more as a tool to reach
those and feed those who seek My truth, rather than seeking to
still your own hunger there.
What I have to offer you is much better.
357 _________________________________________________
I "recycle" your sins and convert them into useful lessons,
the "fruits of righteousness, which are exercised thereby"
(Heb.12:11). You learn to do better from doing it the wrong way.
If what you're doing doesn't have love in it, it won't inspire
anyone. If your primary concern is what will be in it for you, the
financial potential or possible outcome, then it's dead, and it's no
wonder it won't inspire or interest anyone.
You don't want to be part of the loveless toiling for gain and mere
survival - the rut, the System, the Matrix.
If there's no love in it, it's dead.
No matter what you do, it's gotta have love in it!
Concern about money is not good enough an incentive to turn
any endeavor for Me into success.
That's why the churches are such a dilemma and such a farce:
they just don't have the love! They've been trying to do My work
without love! And how can you do My work - the work for the One
Who is Love - without love? How can you do good without
goodness in your heart? How can a loveless tree bring forth
fruits of love?
Never allow the love to run dry. If it does, you're in grave danger!
Anything you do will be dry, lifeless, and will almost inevitably
cause more damage, harm and hurt than any potential good!
Sometimes I might be able to rescue some of it and use it to
some extent despite the lack of love, but basically, love is the
stuff I work with, and the material that I use. That's why I use it
wherever I find it, and if it's among the heathen that I find it,
rather than among My own professed children, then I will use it
and build on it there!
What really qualifies anyone as a child of Mine is the amount of
love they possess.
There isn't any excuse for a lack of love if you know where to get
it. It only shows that other things were more important to you
than Me and My love, and that, precisely, is sin.
358 _________________________________________________
Only what you commit to Me in prayer is being protected by
Me.
It's not too much to expect of you, to commit things unto Me in
prayer, is it?
The first point of organization is something even you can do, and
that's pray. You need to get more serious about things and My
involvement in them.
You can't take for granted that your ideas are the A & O without
you praying about them & committing them into My hands,
making sure that they have My blessing on them!
Talented people sometimes think they can get by either without
Me, or with just the minimum help from Me, so they can pat
themselves on the back when they've done it all, and they wist
not even that My Spirit hath departed from them before it's nearly
too late.
359 _________________________________________________
Fear is the greatest weapon of the Enemy, because it keeps
things in the dark. When there is love and light, he can't operate
clandestinely anymore, because he is exposed, so, he needs
deep and dark and hidden fears, shadows where he can lurk and
operate unseen.
When you can face that fear, you'll realize it has blown itself way
out of proportion to make itself look a lot more fierce than it
really is.
Sometimes a sense of humor can help you take yourself less
seriously. That's why it's said that the greatest requirement for a
missionary is a sense of humor. Approaching strangers in a
humorous sort of way takes the seriousness out of the issue,
which sometimes scares people away.
You don't want to be humiliated, don't want to risk being
ridiculed... you consider yourself worth more than that. But what
you don't realize is how far above everyone else you're putting
yourself through this, how you're putting the value of immortal
souls that could be won by your willingness to humble yourself a
little bit way below your own pride, your own "reputation," your
coolness, and keeping your "dignity" intact. You're trying to
preserve your "image" at all cost, instead of allowing Me to
destroy it, in order to create a new and better one, or even better
yet, a totally new and real you, one that doesn't need any false
image to go by.
That image is keeping you from exploding for Me, and what's
keeping you bound, and a prisoner, not the circumstances or
people you blame! Pride has been the greatest jail master of all
times, keeping more prisoners in chains than any other sin or
master.
It's as if you're trapped in a hall of mirrors which distort your
image into something you can more easily live with than the you
you could be by humbling yourself, overcoming your pride and
fears, and being willing to be a fool for My sake.
By refusing to become a fool for My sake you only become a fool
for your own sake, a fool for the cause of preserving your pride.
Is your pride really something worth living and dying for?
360 _________________________________________________
The diamond doesn't come out ready-made from scratch. In
most cases, it's hidden from view inside some ordinary-looking
piece of rock, or it has to be retrieved from a ton of mud and
dirt... It's a lot of work, and it takes time and elbow grease. And
once you've found the diamond, there's still all the precision
work to be done.
The circumstances I orchestrate for each one, the situations, as
well as the other individuals influencing and helping to mold and
shape the diamond, they all play part in what the final outcome is
going to be.
So, maybe it's a little hard for you to trust Me right now for what
I'm doing, but I say, wait & see what the final outcome is going to
be. You don't know yet what that person is going to be like when
I'm finished with them, and how they're going to sparkle and
shine.
You may feel tempted to think, "What am I supposed to do with
this shabby piece of rock?" Or "What on earth were You thinking
when You created me, Lord?”
But that's just because you don't see what I see... the finished
result.
Everybody's got their burden to carry and their share of
weaknesses to deal with and to overcome, and you're just going
to have to trust Me that I've been handing out those talents and
flaws alike fairly.
The miracle is when you can see the beauty in everybody,
despite their flaws; when you can see them through My eyes, the
eyes of faith and love. You regard the present circumstances that
make them not-so-pretty as a temporary shell that is soon to be
no more, and only a step in the process of their becoming what
they're meant to be and going to be by My grace. You regard My
grace and My hand working in them as superior to the present
circumstances.
Don't look at the immediate 4 fingers of the problem before you,
but see beyond them: look at Me, and instead of seeing 4
problem factors, you'll see the solution factor along with each
one of them, a perfect replica of each of the 4 fingers. And what
may seem like an optical illusion right now someday soon is
going to become the glorious reality. Take My Word for it: that
which is in part, imperfect, will be done away with when I, the
Perfect, will come; and you will all be like Me, totally regardless
of your present frailties.
The full measure and impact of your Salvation will come to
fruition then. You will know then what it means to be fully saved
and redeemed by the one top professional Savior and Redeemer
of all times. You'll see then what I mean by a "professional" job
well done when you'll see the royal diadem framed out of all
those formerly imperfect jewels and diamonds in the rough, in its
glorious splendor.
361 _________________________________________________
Obedience brings down My blessing and My Spirit upon you,
My Spirit of love, and if there isn't enough love or enough of My
Spirit, then it's not so much so that I've "allowed" it to be so, as it
was your own choice not to fulfill My commandment.
Asking Me, "How could You allow us not to obey you?" would be
the same as asking, "Why did You allow free choice?"
I may be almighty, but it's no big secret that I have explicitly
limited My powers not to interfere with mankind's individual and
personal choices.
It's not as if I can somehow magically "protect" you from your
own disobedience.
If I wouldn't have allowed that, I would have to "disallow" a lot of
other things with it.
In the final conclusion, I won't allow things to continue as they
are, forever. Eventually I will intervene.
When I will stop allowing mankind to disobey, a lot of people are
going to wish they had obeyed.
362 _________________________________________________
You're supposed to enjoy life so that you can advertise the
Source of joy you've found.
I'm giving you the strength and the anointing for the battle at the
hour when it comes, and when there is no strength and
anointing, then it simply must mean that I want you to rest a little.
Enjoy the break! Enjoy life!
I won't frown upon you and ask you, when you will stand before
Me, "How about all the other hundreds or thousands of souls you
were supposed to win for Me?"
I know when someone has done what they could.
I won't expect more of you than what I know you could.

There is such a thing as doing too much in your own strength,
too much for the wrong incentives, too much in the flesh.
Do whatever you can, and don't worry about the part you can't
do, because I will take care of that!
I know what you can do, what you're capable of, what your
strengths and talents are, and I won't send you to do something
totally different.
I won't let you miss out on anything! Any action you're designed
and destined for, I will let you partake in, and for the rest, well,
you're just going to have to trust Me that that was supposed to
be someone else's job!
Relax and enjoy your days while you can! The rough times are
going to come, and they're also going to work for you in making
people more receptive, making the truth you've got to share more
obvious, easier to receive and believe. The coming events will
confirm what you've got to say, just as current events are already
preparing the way and hearts of the people.
Time is on My side! The Devil would have you believe the
opposite, that it's on his side, and in some ways it's true: time
will eventually play the world completely into his hands. But only
for Me to snatch it away from him again forever!
364 _________________________________________________
Let's just assume that you simply don't know all there is to
know; not about Me, not about a lot of things. Let's just assume
the humble position for a moment, and pretend you don't know a
fraction of all there is to know.
Let's just say, as paradox as it may seem, this is the path you're
supposed to walk, the one that has been ordained for you.
Let's just try to take this path with a little more grace and with a
little more thanksgiving, and even if you can't be 100% sure, let's
just pretend I knew what I was doing in sending you down this
road, okay?
Just as the churches (in Rev. 2 &3) were surprised in each case,
when I handed out their "report cards," let's just say, you'll also
be pleasantly surprised when you'll see the overall outcome of all
of this: the sense and purpose in it all; the rewards... Just have a
little trust in My abilities to plan and design, faith in My love for
detail and precision, and hold on a little longer, even if you can't
possibly see how any of this is supposed to wind up making any
sense at all.
Maybe I need you to go through this in order to show how a man
can get through these things with My help.
I want to show that there is hope, even for someone who
considers his life a complete mess.

367 _________________________________________________
If to love is My greatest commandment, then it's obvious that
that's what the Devil will fight the most from keeping you doing.
What he hates most and tries to stop the most is the love you
have among each other and for others. He wants to stop all the
loving from going on, and that's been his goal from the very
beginning, and as you can tell, he's been very successful at it.
"From whence come wars and fightings among you? Come they
not hence, even of your lusts that war in your members?" He
uses every sin available to keep you from loving. Actually, that's
the aim of sin: to keep you from loving; to "miss the goal" is sin,
and the goal is love.
Failing to love equals sin. Sin is, when anything other than love
becomes more important to you.
Pride can make you feel like your own ego, honor or hurt feelings
are more important.
Greed can make you feel as if material things are more important.
Fear can make you act as if your own survival and security were
more important, contradicting My Word that "Whosoever shall
save his life, the same shall lose it."
Then come all the lies the Devil uses in order to stop loving
others... Lies about them or about what's more important...
You've experienced how anger can keep you from love, by
making you easily feel aggravated and annoyed by the quirks of
others, causing you to become impatient with them, or self-
righteous, etc.
Laziness can make you think that your own comfort is more
important than that of others, causing you to fail to love...
Envy can make you think that what others have should be
rightfully yours, causing you to put yourself above them and thus
causing you to fail love...
Hedonism can cause people to think that pleasure is more
important than genuine love.
And lust can cause you to never be satisfied with what you have,
always thinking that the grass on the other side of the fence is
more important than love...
He uses his hoards and legions of demons & spirits to play on
the weaknesses you're most prone to, and he even has divisions
specifically designed to destroy your love and unity.
In effect, all sins and all evil is designed for that purpose, to
destroy love. After all, if I am Love, love is their Enemy.
So, it behooves you to guard your "lovelight" with all diligence
and care, and not allow the Enemy to come near it, much less to
snuff it out!
Sometimes he even uses the fact that you know all these things
in theory in order for you to become familiar with the concept
and cause you to despise it. Sometimes the thirst for knowledge,
another type of greed, can be a dangerous enemy of love,
because you start considering knowledge as more important
than love.
The Enemy has used laziness to get you to give up too easily, to
not hang on to love with all your might, and he has used doubt (a
side result of that greed for knowledge) to weaken you and cause
you to harbor skepticism.
One of the ugliest forms of laziness causes you to stop even
making the effort to love people, because you just conclude in
resignation, "Oh, what is it all worth, anyway?"
You underestimate the value of those souls entrusted in your
care, and think that your own momentary comfort is more
important, more valuable...
So, guard the light and flame of your love! Don't let Satan blow it
out!
It gives another connotation to "Watch and pray lest ye enter into
temptation" when you realize that the major goal of temptation
will be to get you to stop loving.
Once you realize there is nothing holier, nothing more sacred,
nothing more valuable than that flame of love in your heart, and
that there's nothing the Devil is more after, the whole thing takes
on a new perspective, dimension and level of priority, and you
begin to realize it's actually something not only worth fighting
for, but that it's simply something you've got to fight for with all
your might!
You cannot afford to lose that flame, for to lose that flame is
equal to losing the life that is within you. "He that loveth not his
brother abideth in death."
How do you guard that flame? By giving of yourself to others.
"He that loseth his life for My sake, the same shall save it."

up your sleeves and pitch in with the gigantic job of winning and
feeding the world that's there to reach.
It's time to realize that those around you need you.
It's time to pour out and be there for them.
It’s time for the giving of yourself and the pouring out of your life
to others.
You should be ready to turn around and pour out from that which
I have given you, and make your major concern and effort the
part of pouring out.
You should be strong enough from now on to deal with the
problems you'll be encountering, not dismay at the prospect of
them and fold up in resignation. You'll be expected to make the
best out of it, to salvage any crisis situation, and avoid many of
them because of your greater amount of care and attention you'll
be giving to your flock from now on.
You'll be expected to sit together more and organize your
activities better. You will also be able to develop more initiative,
more drive.
It’s action time, and time to gain some stature by going out there
& being on the move. I'm mobilizing My forces. It's time to show
what you've got, show all you've learned, and what My personal
training and tutorship has done for you!
It’s not about what you should expect from them, but what I'm
expecting you to give to them!
It's got to come to the point where you just know that there's
nothing you can expect, that any desire for adoration is, and that
if anything good is going to be done, it's going to be done by Me
through you, and anything else is vanity.
All is vanity until I become part of it, take part in it, and become
the driving force in it. Once somebody repents and turns from
their life of vanity and lets Me get ahold of it and blow My life and
Spirit into it, the cycle of vanity ceases.

There have always been power struggles, unfortunately, even
within My own ranks.
The trick is not to let those inside attacks of the Enemy dissuade
you.
The clue is to keep fighting in spite of both your own weaknesses
and theirs. Like this you'll know, there'll be no doubt about it, that
if the victory will be won, it will have been My working, and there
will be no temptation to take the credit for yourself.
Make sure that I'm your Source of strength, power and stamina.
You'll need Me even more than before, but the means of how
you'll get ahold of Me will be different: more immediate,
desperate prayer over the situation, more availing yourself of the
keys and spirit helpers to fight off any spiritual attacks, more
authority in the Spirit to command the situation, and not so much
detailed instruction in prophecy.
The instructions will be there, too, but the emphasis won't be the
same anymore, which will make our relationship and walk
together more alive, too, as it will move from the realm of
recorded words to the realm of action, your behavior and
attitudes. You will speak My living words more...
There will be more pouring out than pouring in.
As the Enemy tries his usual ploy of contradicting My Word and
making everything look as if it's unraveling and going topsy
turvy, the trick is, not to be moved by any of these things, and to
learn to look through his schemes, his desperate efforts to
discourage and dissuade you from your task.
way is hard, and something I can very well relate to. Yet it’s part
of love to accept that they choose a different way than yours.
Never just write them off & say, “Forget about them…”
I want your love to be like Mine: forgiving, longsuffering, always
embracing and accepting, never rejecting, never casting anyone
out…
There comes a time when certain behaviour patterns draw a line
of separation between you and them and it becomes clear that
they must part. But always try to keep something in common
with them, some common ground to meet on, and never
condemn them for their decision.
I let you walk the path you choose, even if I know that there might
be a bitter end attached to it, and I’ll be standing there to catch
your fall.
Teach them all you can about how to make it through life
successfully with My help.

Prayer is a weapon more powerful than anything the Devil can
muster. "The Devil flees when he sees the weakest saint upon his

definitely not My philosophy! My philosophy can be observed in
the little birds under the sky being cared for by Me without
making all this big ado about their survival.
But everybody’s got to make their own set of mistakes, and part
of love is to grant them that freedom and let them, even if you
may know better, and can foresee the end of it. They’ve got to
make their own experiences.
It’s within them to want to try their own way, and the more you
fight it, the stronger that urge becomes.
You can warn them and teach them and prepare them, but the
final decision will be their’s to make, and if they do make what
you would consider the wrong one, don’t just write them off and
close the door behind them. Always keep it open a crack in order
to enable them to come back. Always make them feel welcome to
come back!
After all, wouldn’t you want to have had that same freedom – to
make the wrong decisions – too? And you did. And you see that
in the final outcome it was good that you learned the lessons you
were taught by that road… Why deprive them of theirs?

As inevitable as the setting of the sun and the rising again of
the same, so is My mighty harvest that I have promised to My
reapers, My harvesters, My Family! You are ready to teach &
preach? They are ready to receive, to soak up & learn what you
have to give.
Just as the great number of fishes were unstoppably drawn into
the nets of My disciples Peter & James, when I first called them,
so will the sheep come flocking to you, as a proof of your
authenticity. My sheep hear My voice, and they will follow.
Keep believing, and keep drawing them in! Keep throwing out
your nets, launching out into the deep, even if before you haven’t
caught anything! Do it because I said so!
With every word you pour out, your anointing & power will grow;
for as you pour out, I’ll pour in, & you can never outpour Me!
379 _________________________________________________
Sometimes you’ve just got to be firm about what you want,
and keep insisting that you will receive.
I do want to speak to you, communicate with you.
You can’t be passive about it. The drawing is your action, the part
that you do.
You’ve got to be more determined about it, take it by faith that I
always love to communicate with you, and then act on that faith.
You’ve got to make it happen; start typing and believe… take that
first step into the unknown.
It’s not that I am tired or don’t “feel” like talking. It’s not that My
mood or My state are in any way affected by circumstances.
That’s one of those aspects in which I am unchangeable, steady
and firm like a rock, as opposed to your feebleness and quality of
easily being swayed by physical circumstances.
That’s what some folks appreciate about Me, that I’m not as
unreliable as they know themselves or other humans to be: not
subject to emotional bouts, moods or fits. I do get angry at times,
but that’s a different matter. You can always be sure that if and
when I get angry, there’s a good reason for it.
380 _________________________________________________
It always takes one man (or woman) of faith to get the stone
rolling and to initiate the process, to believe Me for what I said,
without any evidence for it. For them, faith is the evidence, the
title deed to the promise they cling to. They say, if I said it, then
they count it done.
You can either sit and wait for the right circumstances to happen,
and for the harvest to come by itself, or you can make it happen,
by believing that it’s happening and taking My Word for it, that
indeed it will happen.

How strong, how real, how lasting is your love?
The first and no.1 requirement for a shepherd is love. Love that
will last, love that will be able to look beyond people’s failures.
You’ve just got to keep loving them, no matter what they do, you
can’t just stop loving them.
If loving Me and others is the top no.1 commandment, then the
Devil is going to try to get you to stop loving. Are you going to let
him?
Whatever you do, don’t stop loving! Keep on loving, no matter
what! There is just no excuse for failure to love. There’s no valid
excuse for stopping to love someone.
I won’t excuse you for ceasing to love them. I expect you to keep
loving as I have loved.
Learning to love is all about putting up with others’ sins and
faults, and before you’ve learned that lesson, there’s no use
trying to tackle any other one.
What’s expected of you is to forgive and to continue loving those
who may have wronged you or someone else.
Self-righteousness only makes matters worse.
Stop taking others’ sins so seriously, when I haven’t paid any
significant attention to yours. If you want Me to turn a blind eye
to your faults, mistakes and sins, then I will have to be able to
expect the same from you regarding theirs.
382 _________________________________________________
What I really want to drive home with saying “time is short,”
is the point that you shouldn’t waste your time with frivolous
things anymore, with worldly things, and that you had better stay
on the track and keep going My way, because I know how easy it
is for you to get side-tracked by the temptations of the Devil.
Yet, once you are on My path and doing everything you can to
get closer to Me, you also have to develop some patience and
realize that not everything gets accomplished and learned in one
day. Once you are on My path, you must trust that time is in My
hands, and that the learning and growing process happens at My
perfectly ordained pace, and you cannot become impatient with
Me or yourself, or others…
Without that trust, you cannot truly love, because you will always
expect more and faster progress from yourself and others than
you’re able to deliver.
Sometimes the step I want you to take for Me is to simply wait
and trust that I will come through for you, to flip that spiritual
switch and make that decision to trust and believe in Me.
When you look around, that’s precisely what a lot of people are
lacking. I’m not expecting them to take the gigantic step for Me to
drop out, forsake all and follow Me right off the bat. What they’ve
got to do first of all, before they can take any further significant
step for Me, is to take that step of faith and make the decision
that they’re going to trust Me with their lives, that they’re going to
believe in Me and have faith in Me.
You practically have to take that step afresh every day and
decide you’re going to trust Me for your present circumstances
and problems and their outcome!
That’s why “Patience takes faith.” In order to have the patience
that makes love possible, first of all you gotta have faith.
Faith is the process that makes the tree (of your spiritual life)
grow from the seeds, the Word. Faith is what causes the tree to
grow in the first place, without faith there is no tree of a spiritual
life. And once faith has done its work, it “worketh patience.”
That’s the result: you’ll have more patience with others, more
patience with yourself, and you won’t get all uptight if the world
hasn’t been changed into perfect yet all in one day.
383 _________________________________________________
Make your goals a reality.
I want to reward your labors with fruit! Just tell Me how much you
want, and I’ll see whether I can make it happen for you! As usual,
I’m more willing to give than you are to receive!
384 _________________________________________________
It’s better not to deal excessively with your faults, flaws and
sins, and to just keep going right ahead in spite of them. And that
also includes the faults of your own children, or your own faults
reflected in them. It can be shocking and frightening sometimes,
and gives you reason to wonder, “Why hast Thou made me
thus,” but in the end, perhaps it’s just a test for you to see
whether you will keep going in spite of it…
Discernment shouldn’t ever keep you from looking at the good in
people. Real mature discernment means making the effort to look
for the good in people, in spite of the bad you may already see…
(Heb.12:1, 2) Laying aside the weight and besetting sins
sometimes means just to stop paying so much attention to them
to the point where you’re being hindered by them, and just look
unto Me, the Author and Finisher of your faith, your only hope of
glory.
Some of those “extra truths” you’re discovering should not make
you forget the basic truths you already got from My Word! “Know
thyself” does not outweigh the truth of “looking unto Jesus!”
It is good to be able to be completely honest with yourself. But if
what you see in facing yourself merely paralyzes and stuns you
into a state of zero productivity because you’re so shocked by it,
then it’s better to just lay all that ugly ego-business aside, keep
looking unto Me and do what’s humanly impossible, in spite of all
your weaknesses.
It’s tricky, trying to help someone to overcome their weaknesses
in an uplifting way. You’ve got to do it sort of through the
backdoor, rather than via open confrontation.
Taking time with Me about it is a manifestation of love, too.
Bringing these issues before Me shows you’re concerned and
not just writing them off, and that when it comes down to it, I’m
going to have to be the One Who gives you and them the victory.
It would be like cheating to just give you the victory without
having done some fighting first. It’s like the proverb about
teaching a man to fish, instead of feeding him: I’m teaching you
the skills of obtaining the victory, strengthening you through that
process, not just handing you the victory on a silver platter and
allowing you to remain weak. Only fighting is what’s going to
make you strong enough to obtain the victory – not entirely by
yourself, but with My help, but nonetheless through the part that
you can do.
There is always a part that’s there for you to do. Some things
you’ve got to wrap up in a bundle of faith and figure out over time
with My help, and not just want a quick answer. Some of those
paradoxes in life take time to understand. It’s time that makes
them beautiful, valuable, and turns them into experience and
wisdom that others will be able to benefit from as well.
385 _________________________________________________
Sometimes less is more, especially when it comes to talking,
even when you’re pouring out My Word to the sheep. You can’t
feed babies big meals.
Sometimes it takes a more basic teacher to give the really young
and fresh sheep the diet they need, otherwise you risk over-
stuffing them.
It takes humility to sometimes share less than all you could, to
say less than everything you know all at once, and to maybe let
somebody else do the talking for a change, who may not know
quite as much, but may have a better sense of what the
appropriate diet and needed input for your spiritual babies may
be.
Otherwise, it can become an act of the flesh, rather than relying
on the gifts of My Spirit to really pour out to them what I tell you
they need. It can become merely an exchange of carnal
knowledge, when what you really need to do is pour out rivers of
living water from the spirit, rather than your head.
You’ve got to listen to the Spirit when you pour out to your
sheep, and let Me do the talking through you.
You’re a team, and you need to evenly distribute the weight of the
responsibility and the load between you, otherwise you might
wind up with “back problems.”
I want you to get used to team working.
386 _________________________________________________
It’s war time! In war, things don’t continue to tranquilly run
their course, but there is howling of sirens and running to and fro
of people… the sky is dark, and there’s the noise of gun and shell
fire. There’s pain when you’re being hit by something, and you
may find yourself paralyzed and tied to the spot…
This is it. This is no drill.
It’s not a time anymore for entertainment and leisure. It’s a call to
arms. The success and outcome of the battle will depend on each
man, woman and child involved.
In the movies you always see the hero make up his mind
reluctantly and at the last minute, to finally do his part and pitch
in, in order for good to win the battle.
In reality, that’s an attitude very unlike to ensure success.
If you want to win a war, you’d better start training and learning
how to fight as soon as possible, and prepare for what’s ahead of
you, and not just rely on luck to give you the strength you’ll
need. Luck is a very insecure factor to rely on in a war, because
you’ll more often than not find yourself and the world around you
running out of luck.
In fact, you’ll find luck turn out to be only a façade, the joker’s
mocking laughing mask to distract the masses and make them
think life is funny, keeping them utterly unprepared for the
serious episodes to come…
This generation, brought up into believing that the meaning of
life is to have as much fun as possible, is going to have a hard
awakening, soon, to the seriousness of the true core of the sense
of life, which has been hidden from them, and blessed will be
those a beacon of light and pillar of truth to hold on to and to
guide them in the right direction… in My direction.
Sometimes I must counter your efforts to ignore the fact that
we’re at war, and that not everything’s fine, and this is not yet
your resting place, with evidence for the extent to which the evil
one is at work, not only in far-away lands, but right in your own
life.
You’re used to Me bailing you out of your troubles somehow,
sooner or later. But with the severity of troubles increasing, you
had also better learn to turn up your prayer power accordingly.
In order to prepare you for the Tribulation, I sometimes have to
allow little foretastes and shadows of tribulation in your life, to
get you into praying mode, desperate mode, no-longer-things-as-
usual mode…
You must learn to see and perceive the bad news as good, in that
they’re going to accelerate My return. “When you see these
things come to pass, look up, for your redemption draws nigh!”
It’s all the more looking-unto-Jesus time! So, look to Me, when
you see these troubles happen in your life, and don’t look to any
other source of satisfaction, for that is not My will, and it would
defeat the purpose of the suffering I allow in your life.
Focus on Me, your only hope, your only strength, and your only
light! Nothing else is going to be able to see you through!
387 _________________________________________________
If there is a school of life, and I’m its teacher, what the Devil
came up with in order to distract people from the school and the
meaning of life, was his counterfeit “school,” the compulsory
public school system.
He’s trying to make sure that people – and young people in
particular – won’t get the chance to tune in to the real school of
life, by keeping them busily stuffing their heads with the
counterfeit knowledge concocted in his public school system.
I can keep My children anywhere, and even protect their minds
from becoming polluted by the brainwash the Enemy has them
bombarded with on a daily basis.
I can preserve them unto Me and keep them from becoming lost
to all that smut, even if they may be affected by it somewhat.
When you see the overwhelming power and mass with which the
Enemy operates in his brainwashing procedure and propaganda
and information war, you figure there won’t be much of a chance
that anybody is going to escape that grind. But I want you to
have more faith than that!
The school system simply won’t “click” with a lot of people, who,
like you did, instinctively feel that it’s not doing them any good,
not teaching them anything truly valuable.
Tell them about the cool alternative! Tell them about the school of
life! Tell them about Me, the Master Teacher, Who can really teach
them stuff that’s worthwhile, 100% relevant to real life.
If the school system is the Enemy’s counterpart to My real school
of life, then you have to cope with the fact that every hour your
child is spending in school, she’s being soaked with something
other than what I would teach her, if she were exclusively under
My tutorship.
Focus on the solution. If there’s a problem, I must have the
solution.
You’re offering them the solution to death and hell by offering
them salvation. You’re offering a solution to their ignorance by
presenting ample information to build a foundation of knowledge
of truth; offering My happiness and joyful Spirit in exchange for
their depressions and frustrations.
The Offensive is all about focusing on the solution: “What do I
have to offer to the world, and how could we make it more
attractive to our target audience?”
Our product: The Solution. Our challenge: how to “sell” it to the
public most efficiently.
You’re going to have to be able to prove and show from your own
lives that it works. Do you really believe that you’ve got the
solution to the System’s troubles and woes? Then how will you
present it to the world? Because present it you will and must,
unless you’re planning to keep it all to yourself, right?
388 _________________________________________________
You’ll be dependent more & more on My supernatural
protection, as time goes on.
I give you My promise of protection, and the promise of My
blessings for being willing to take a risk for the sake of My
Cause, My Kingdom, and for the sake of love and wanting to help
someone and draw them closer to Me.
You are more valuable to Me than any achievements for Me you
might ever make. Your fruit isn’t as important to Me as you are
yourselves.
I’m more involved in orchestrating things from behind the scenes
than you sometimes dare to hope…
389 _________________________________________________
You’ve got to do what I’ve given you to do without being
deterred or distracted by what’s going on on your left and your
right! Worse things than what’s happening right now are going to
happen, and you’re just going to have to be able to keep going in
spite of them! You cannot let it influence you when those on your
left and right are stumbling or falling. You’ve got to stand! You
can make an effort to lift them up, if they want to be helped and
lifted up and stand, but if not, you are going to have to keep
going and fighting anyway.
If they decide to go a different way, if they allow themselves to
become lukewarm and be influenced and swayed by the System,
you’re still going to have to keep going for Me!
It’s not how much you accomplish for Me, how many you’ve
reached for Me that counts, as much as how faithfully you’ve
been keeping going for Me in spite of unfavourable
circumstances!
Even if you’re forsaken and betrayed by everyone around you, in
the worst case scenario, as it did happen to Me.
If you’re truly going to be following in My footsteps until the
bitter end, you’ve somewhat got to be prepared for that.
If you don’t like your church, create your own church! If you
don’t like the members of your congregation, win some new
members to your congregation that you do like and do get along
with! If you think that the rest of your faith community isn’t really
living up to what you’d consider My standard, then do it
differently, and show the world how you think it ought to be
done.
If you’ll operate like that, sooner or later you’re going to win the
respect of those you may not be getting along with right now,
and once they’ll respect you, they’ll probably also adapt their
behaviour toward you.
You’ve got to be so convinced that you’ve got the Real Thing,
that you won’t be affected at all by the fact that some of the
members – or even the majority of members – of your outfit don’t

good, cheerful and sunny times.

Try to see Me in it! When you can see Me even in the grey sky,
and you can fathom My love even from the bleakness of things,
then you’re learning to walk by faith and not by sight. The dark
times must come, and you must experience them, too, just as
everybody else must. How else will you comfort them with the
comfort wherewith you have been comforted by Me? How else
will you teach them to walk by faith and not by sight?

I want you to train your dependence on Me to a tee.
It’s annoying when those you’re supposed to be able to rely on
turn out to be less than reliable, but it should stress all the more
the urgency of putting all your hopes and trust in Me.
Ps.27:10 sums up the lesson.
People often overestimate the role of a group or body of people,
be it their church, their government, etc., and then blame them
for letting them down.
I want to make sure you get the point that it’s futile to rely on
people to such an extent, and that it really only pays to put your
trust in Me.
I like it when you stand on My Word and remind Me of My
promises, making sure that I’m keeping My end of the deal. I like
it when you take My Word seriously. I also like it when you take
the future seriously, which is obviously what a lot of people
don’t, these days. All they care about is the here and now, and
“After us, the deluge.”
You start receiving revelations and visions by making yourself
receptive for such input and creating a vacuum and an interest
for it.
But I do have to warn you that some of these things carry
consequences, certain burdens of responsibility. That’s why I
can’t just reveal the future to you lightly or in a casual fashion:
“You wonder about the future? Here you go.”

smoothly if you’re not bathing them in My Spirit and prayer, and

I’m not going to let you get away with not operating in My Spirit!

prefer the sunshine and easy days; it’s not a big secret.
But it just so happens that this particular time in which you’re
living is not part of what you’d consider easy times. While you
have been making it as easy on yourself as you could, there’s no

desperately… You won’t settle for any deceptions & cheerful,
amusing distractions.
You long for sunshine, but the rain is better for you. It’s good to
become aware of the dirt that you need to be washed clean from.
It’s important.
Some people don’t realize that. They only realize and take note of
the physical… totally oblivious to the spiritual. All that interests
them is the here and now; the flesh. It’s as if the spirit doesn’t
even exist, as far as they’re concerned. The spirit doesn’t even
faze them. They’re totally flat… Flatlanders.
All you can do is pray for Me to open up their eyes. But of
course, there are none so blind as those who refuse to see. You
can’t really open someone’s eyes against their will… So, you’ve
got to pray that I take away the fear and the indifference from
their hearts… take out the heart of stone from within them and
replace it with a new one of flesh.
That is a promise to cling to: “A new heart will I give you, and a
new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony
heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh”
(Ez.36:26). Imagine a world where everyone is finally going to
have love in their hearts for each other, instead of the cold
indifference and selfishness that rules the world right now!
So, before you can even pray for Me to open their eyes, You must
pray for Me to touch their hearts to want to see, and to want the
truth; to be open for love and light and life…
And that prayer must come from your heart, so the saying is
fulfilled again, “What comes from the heart, reaches the heart.”
“Changing the world: one heart at a time…” How do you do that?
You can only change another heart through something that
comes from your heart in the first place: words from the heart,
prayers from the heart… Whatever love has been there in your
heart in the first place, must go out and reach another’s heart.
In order to really leave an impact on the world, you’ve got to live
from the heart! You’ve got to ignore the fears of being
disappointed … There is nothing that can stand against love, and
love is never poured out in vain. But it’s got to be there in your
heart first.
The good and kind act has got to come from a heart of love. If it
happens without love, they will feel it, if it came somewhat
reluctantly, and there isn’t really love in it.
It will come and bite back at you in some way and punish you for
the presumptuousness of trying to pretend to want to help
anyone for any other reason but love.
That hypocrisy will be exposed. Make sure your motivations are

The natural tendency is to respond to what comes at you in the
same manner. You react. “Tit for tat.” But the way of love is not to
repay them with the same currency, but to give them My currency
of love and forgiveness in exchange for their selfishness and
greed. You’ve got to counter their negativity with My
Positiveness! Don’t do as they do, but break the vicious cycle.
You break the vicious cycle of the usual run of things by doing
something totally unusual: you love the unlovely, the unworthy of
love, and thus change and touch their hearts, and you will
change destiny in the long run!
That’s why love is the most powerful weapon in the universe. But
so many people have lost faith in it or dare not use it.
Just remember, it’s got to come from the heart. That’s where it
begins, if you want it to achieve a greater end!
410 _________________________________________________
When an organized body functions in a certain way, and it
becomes “the way,” the best way you have figured out for things
to run, then it’s natural to want to draw your followers and as
many others as possible along into the way with you. You want to
convert them to your way of doing things.
They may be expecting you to “move along,” just like all the
others, but what they don’t realize is that in your being different
you’re actually contributing more than you would if you would
just do everything exactly the same way they do.
It does require a certain amount of boldness to dare to be
different, to stick out from the rest. They may even persecute and
hate you for it, like it happened to Joseph, and they’d rather see
you as a slave in Egypt, than to flaunt your coat of many colors
in front of them.
People resent other folks being different. But I need you to be
different, and you’ve got to hold on to that vision and cling to My
Word, and just do it because I said so.
You’ve got to stay faithful to what I tell you, not their opinions.
It will pay off to stand your ground, if you just hold on to Me and
follow Me, and pay close attention to what I’m trying to show and
tell and teach you!
Don’t worry if you seem somewhat on a different wavelength, as
long as it’s My wavelength. You have My permission to be
different! I’m alright & cool with it. B.S.U.R.!
The responsibility that comes with being different and that
comes with being led by Me, and thus giving a sample to the rest
of the world of the direction I’m leading you, is much more
valuable to Me than the bit of responsibility it takes to just be
hiding behind others and follow along in their tail.
We’re developing personality here, and leadership qualities of
the kind that will be needed during the days to come; the kind of
light that can shine its way through the darkness of the
Tribulation. Lights and energies that will rely on others will peter
out sooner or later… Only those who are plugged in directly to
Me and My power will have what it takes to make it through the
night.
411 _________________________________________________
It’s hard to stand alone, but it’s precisely that “hardness”
that makes you into a strong man, and a force to be reckoned
with.
wouldn’t dare stand against what everybody supposedly agrees
Similar to politicians with their popularity polls, many people,
popularity.
Most people don’t seem to really get the point of Who I was and
what My role was during My life on earth. They picture Me as
some kind of Superman with perfect looks and perfect manners,
speech and gesture. And in a certain way I was. In the Father’s
way. But that doesn’t necessarily correspond to people’s
standards.
When it comes to them, you might have definitely described Me
as somewhat awkward and strange.
I wasn’t a cowboy, lone ranger style with a pistol belt casually
around My hip. And I rode no bronco any other than that foal of
an ass upon My “triumphal entry” into Jerusalem, 3 days before
My crucifixion.
I got into trouble mostly everywhere I went. If you want to read an
accurate description of what and Who I really was, from an
anointed and divinely inspired point of view, and not a post-
mortem, post-resurrection and post-ascension overly glorified
human view, read the 53rd chapter of Jeremiah. I wasn’t your
average Hollywood type. Nor was I your average politician type
hunting for votes. I was on a hell-bent mission, literally, that led
Me to a hell of a death on the cross and a 3-day visit in hell, and it
all resulted in over 300 years of persecution of My church,
resulting in hundreds of thousands of them dying martyrs’
deaths. Only when the tides turned and Rome became officially
“Christian,” that popularity spiel took over, and the church
ceased from being the persecuted and became the persecutors
in many cases…
Since when are My followers, My disciples, My prophets,
supposed to be concerned about their popularity? They’re only
supposed to be concerned about doing their job for Me of
reaching the lost of the world with My message, that’s all. Of
course those who are not doing that job are going to resent you,
just like the Scribes and Pharisees resented Me, and you know
there are lots of Pharisees nowadays.
Don’t look at people, but keep your eyes fixed on Me and on
whatever I show you to do at the moment, whether anyone cares
to approve of it, or not.
You’ve got to be able to take some flak, if you’re going to stand
up for Me.
The spirit of the Enemy is striving against Me and resisting Me
and My ways on every level, in every area and walk of life. You’ll
meet people everywhere who are going to struggle against My
movement in the spirit. The ones who are truly yielded to My
Spirit are very, very rare.
The only One Who is truly capable of living up to all your
expectations and more, am I. So, look away from the waves, how
they rage and foam and threaten to undo you! Just keep your
eyes on Me steadily. Few are called to walk upon water. Few heed
the call. Do you have what it takes? “Step out on the water and
you will see. Trust in Me.”
The Enemy sics his dogs on the carriers of My true anointing
wherever he finds them and can stir them up, like a hornets’ nest,
or like dogs barking and nipping at your heels. But they can
never really do you any real harm. Primarily, they are just there to
test and strengthen your faith and resolve. These are precisely
the factors that make you strong. Just another example of the
devil actually working for Me, whether he wants to or not.
412 _________________________________________________
If things aren't exactly going your way, maybe you should
look around for My way, and which way I might want them.
In order to obtain and possess the necessary love to be an
apostle and a missionary and a prophet, you have to make
persistent sacrifices, consistent efforts to be in a sacrificial and
giving mode.
Short-sighted people figure that if they take care of their own
needs first, then they'll be happy. But if you take care of what
needs to be done before the thing you'd personally prefer to do,
you might find out that this actually would contribute more to
your happiness than that me-first attitude.
Just receiving My words alone won't do the trick. You'll have to
do them, too. "If ye know these things, HAPPY are ye if you do
them."
Happiness doesn't just lie in finding whatever pleasure you can
eke out of life, but in wringing yourself through to doing that
perhaps less pleasurable thing for others that might really help
them to come around. You need that giving attitude in order to
make progress. Otherwise, what you're essentially doing is
backslide.
413 _________________________________________________
“All that call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.” From
their sins, or of their troubles… whatever you need to be saved
from: perhaps from yourself; I will do it as I have promised. It just
has to get to that point where you’re desperate enough to realize
that you need My Salvation & need Me to save you.
Most of the time people aren’t really desperate enough to call out
for rescue. As long as things are just fine, or even bearable,
they’ll putter along with whatever steam their little boat might
have on the river of life. It takes those dangerous parts of the
river with currents stronger than their boat can handle, that make
them cry out to Me.
They know they can’t make it in their own strength, and that’s
when they finally come around to avail themselves of Mine.
You may think your present state is a calamity. One day you will
see that it was the best thing that could have ever happened to
you, because instead of continuing to cruise along in your life in
indifferent complacency, your present crisis is just one of those
factors to pull you out of that rut & routine, making you
desperate enough to cry out to Me & ask Me to change things.
It’s those times when you cry out to Me desperately that cause
things to change for the good.
I’ve given you the liberty to pretty much do as you please, and
the Devil is on your trail, trying to show you your limitations, like
My sheepdog that he is, and telling you, “No, you can’t do that;
I’m not going to let you get away with it!” He’s even trying to kill
you, if he can get away with it, and it serves to show you that this
isn’t just a game. It’s dangerous. There’s responsibility attached
with it. You can’t just do as you please forever. I can’t let you get
away with it!
Your search and quest for pleasure and satisfaction just has to
leave you high and dry at some point, because it’s destined and
programmed to do just that. It’s not the way to happiness.
414 _________________________________________________
Anger is a tough one to crack because it requires a change
of attitude. You can’t take the circumstances and what life is
handing you, gracefully. You are convinced it ought to be
different. You can’t let it be.
The right attitude to conquer anger would be: “Let it be!” Let it be
the way I know it’s got to be, even if you may be inclined to
disagree with Me! Just give Me that priority over your own
wisdom; give Me that benefit of the doubt that I actually do know
what I’m doing.
And extend some of that same trust to your loved ones as well,
that they also know what they’re doing, and trying the hardest
and best they can to do it right, just like you.
It’s time for changes, and I’m trying to introduce them as
painlessly as possible, trust Me; but with your tendency to take
the easiest way out, some discomfort is simply inevitable.
Times are changing and requiring different, more mature
attitudes, more mature openness in communication, better
organization, and leaving a lot of youthful, if not to say childish
traits behind.
415 _________________________________________________
I’m trying to get you organized, but from the heart, not the
head, and in the right spirit: My Spirit.
It means bathing issues and matters before you in prayer,
meditating about them, listening for the whispers of My Spirit
about them to fill in the blanks and give you any checks,
warnings and nudges when you’re about to forget something
important, or you’re heading in a wrong direction.
The trial and error method has been working somewhat for a
while, with some kind of results. But eventually, I assume, you’ll
want to be able to stop cringing when you think about things you
did…

You ought to avail yourself of the 7 ways of finding My will for
you, not the 8th, as a standard procedure…
Find out where it’s at by tuning in with Me and following My little
dog trail of the Spirit, instead of the long painful way of first
finding out where it wasn’t.
Old habits die hard, but I have given you the power to overcome
them, and I’m expecting you to use it!
When you see all that’s going wrong, it seems overwhelming and
you feel like you don’t stand a chance. But even some apparently
puny, seemingly futile and desperate efforts to change things are
better than doing nothing at all in resignation. Even a little
progress is better than none, than standing still, or even worse:
retreat.
All that has happened over the years was not in vain! You just
have to strengthen the things that remain, keep the keepers and
discard the goners! Hang on to those valuable lessons I’ve
taught you through your situations & circumstances on unity,
team working, following My Spirit, availing yourself of the keys,
My helpers, prayer power, keeping the right vision, etc.
I have prepared you for this day, and you ought to be ready. The
only reason you’re not is because you’re still focusing on people
too much, still looking at the waves and wind too much instead
of looking unto Me, focusing on Me, on My power, the doughnut,
not the hole!
I AM the doughnut, the big yummy circle around the nothingness
that troubles you; the senselessness. But if you just focus and
concentrate on Me, everything will have a rhyme and a reason, it
all makes sense.
416 _________________________________________________
If you remember that all that happens to you, the Father
allows for a purpose, and you wonder, “Why? - What is He trying
to teach me through this?” then, instead of getting this feeling of
indignation about the unfairness of it all, you submit to it, you
“let it be,” yield to the flow and just let the lesson and the
experience sink in.
“Meet the new boss – the same as the old boss” seems to be the
name of the game in this world, or even, “worse than the old
boss,” and things have just kept getting worse all the time,
especially in aspects of government. “When worse comes to
worst” seems to be the tale of the kingdoms and governments of
man.
You can learn something from it and determine you’re going to
do your best not to make the same mistakes, should you ever
come into a position of leadership, or even right in the position
where you are. Are you treating those around you with fairness?
Are you doing all you can to help them?
I gave you and all My followers a perfect sample of what a “boss”
should really be like: a servant of all.
How much of a servant are you?
That’s the kind of question you’re going to be asked at the end of
your life: What kind of a servant have you been? Not what kind of
a ruler or leader or success type have you been, but how well
have you served My people? How well have you served others?
Will you have been a good and faithful servant, faithfully handing
out the bread of life and serving them the water of life? Or will
you use the excuse, “Well, I never saw any sample of a truly
good and faithful servant” to keep you from ever becoming a
good and faithful servant yourself?
Come down to the level of those who come closest to the sample
of a good and faithful servant – or handmaiden – that you know,
and do it like them: really live with them, serve with them, work
with them, see eye to eye and walk hand in hand with them.
417 _________________________________________________
The process of making absolutely nothing out of you, so that
I can think and move and act in you involves taking you down to
the depths of your soul, bringing you to the point of willingness
to let go of everything that builds up your flesh, pumps up the
arm of your flesh artificially…
It includes reducing the numbers that make up your life: the
amount of money you possess and possessions you can afford,
until you feel like, “My life ain’t worth a dime.”
In establishing lasting and eternal values, sometimes the earthly
values have to be abolished first.
You have to have the right foundation first. Your dependence on
Me has got to be established firmly before we can allow some
greater influx of finances to happen in your life, to make sure you
won’t get distracted and your priorities shift.
It’s better for your spiritual life when you don’t abound. It’s better
for your level of humility, your level of desperation, and your
sense of needing others, instead of being so independent and
self-sufficient.
You shouldn’t rely on them more than you rely on Me, but it
doesn’t mean that you can’t develop a sense of Family, of
belonging together and being able to depend on each other for
certain things.
Another question is, how much can others rely on you? How
available are you? How willing are you to contribute to My
current movement of the Spirit?
It sometimes happens in warfare, that you get wounded by
members of your own party. But you can’t allow that to weaken
you to a point of surrender. You’ve got to get over it and keep
fighting.
Warfare is really an art, and it’s not necessarily something you’re
born into or everybody fits right into from scratch. It’s a skill that
has to be acquired by hard training, and it’s not something you
acquire by giving up after the first few failed attempts.
The battle field doesn’t always exactly feel like “home” to
everyone. So don’t be surprised if you feel strange, and a out of
place, wondering how you fit in and “what am I doing here?”
War is ugly. Your superiors yell at you, may even take advantage
of you, and not everybody remembers to remain a gentleman on
the battlefield. It’s not place for hurt feelings.
Sometimes you feel devastated.
You realize how close you are nearly every moment of your life to
the point of losing everything, when all you will have left of your
substance will be your naked soul standing before Me.
Not the figure of how much wealth you’ve acquired, how “big”
you are in terms of numbers and figures, just you, your soul, who
you really are.
What you long for is other people with real souls, folks who know
who they are in the spirit.
Most of what you see is people who still measure themselves by
numbers, by the measure of success they acquire, by what they
accomplish.
Absolute authenticity is one of My qualities.
When it came to people, there wasn’t much there for Me to copy.
The only thing worth copying in My eyes was the Father, and He
certainly is different, the totally Other, when it comes to people.
And so am I. And so do those become who hang with Me. They
become different. They become weird. You don’t necessarily
want to be different. You’d prefer to fit in and blend in and just
hang with everybody and “chill.” Well, I have chosen a different
destiny for you.
Your loyalty to Me, to My voice includes showing a willingness to
be left alone and isolated in some cases.
The herd may not understand it, not be fond of it, and even reject
it, but that’s none of your concern and nothing for you to worry

426 _________________________________________________
The first step needed in order to bring about any kind of
improvement is for somebody to see the need. It’s seeing the
need and realizing the lack, that there’s something missing, that
makes you want to pray for it and wonder what you can do about
filling the need.
Often people don’t see the need because they’re too distracted
by other things.
You have the power to really make a big difference. Instead of
just jumping on some already finished and finalized bandwagon,
you can be instrumental in creating that bandwagon in the
making, giving it some of its frills and finishing touches.
If it hasn’t been done yet, it can be done by you.
Once you get going, others will jump on the bandwagon and will
catch the drift and pitch in. It’s always the getting started that’s
the hardest thing to do.
More often than not I have started something with one man
alone.
There will always be folks coming up with new and different
ideas…
It may well be that I can use your ideas as an incentive to bring
about needed innovation.
428 _________________________________________________
It’s important that you believe that I have given you the
power to overcome your weaknesses, and don’t accept the
mindset the Enemy that you’re helpless against them, and there’s
nothing you can do about them, so you might as well resign to
your fate and live with them for the rest of your life.
One of his doctrines to prevent the regeneration and rebirth of
My Spirit from happening is, “Change – especially of personality
and character – is not possible. If you’re a certain way, that’s the
way you’re going to be for the rest of your life, so, live with it.”
That’s why it’s important that you don’t fall for his propaganda,
but show that you defy it and vehemently oppose it by being a
living proof that the opposite is true.
Yes, you may have all these negative qualities and besetting sins,
but you believe in My power to enable you to overcome them,
and that’s the kind of power the world wants and needs to see.
Folks in the world are waking up to the fact that they’re not as
good as they wish to be, and they become weary of being
addicted to their sins. But they don’t know about My power to
free them from their grip, they don’t realize that that’s the very
purpose for which I came.

that you can’t. that they’re absolutely powerless against them, and that there’s
nothing anyone could ever do about them, but that’s precisely
where you’re supposed to come in and show them that’s wrong.

the drain. We just can’t. We’ve got to do something about it! And Right now you’re still, unsure of yourself, and you haven’t
been quite certain whether what you were doing was really
ordained by Me.
But once you will have recognized your true place and calling,
the uncertainty and immaturity will eventually disappear.
You will know as you are known. You will know that your
authority and anointing lie in My words to you, not in anything
you may have done or that you may be or come across as.
The true power and proof of divine authority lay not in young
David’s voice, harp skills, nor any of his other skills – although
his boldness to defy lions, bears and giants were certainly a
manifestation of My Spirit in Him, and a result of his strong faith
– but it ultimately lay in his gift of prophecy as evident in the
lyrics and words of his psalms, which are still unequalled in
Jewish and Christian literature.
It always has to be some lonely shepherd boy out in a field with a
few sheep, out in My creation, to whom I can entrust the truth of
truths of the day, certainly not to the high priests in their
synagogues, temples and tabernacles.
There has been no “parting of the Red Sea” yet, no plagues upon
Pharaoh, and the staffs that I have given to others seem to be
more powerful, more attractive and more spectacular than that
old rod in your hand.
But that “old rod,” My Word, including My personal words to you
and the Family as a whole, will in the long run turn out to be a
mightier weapon and a more lasting source of guidance than any
of the showy dances of the false prophets and magicians of
Egypt.
It’s not the gift that matters, nor the one to whom it is given, it is
only My Word, and the fact that I have spoken it, and the extent to
which you believe in it and put your faith in it and act on it and
obey it that counts.
The secret still lies in the whispers, that still small voice that the
majority of the world doesn’t pay attention to, but that is, My
brides, what makes you so unique, so special: you do. And that’s
really the main thing you’ve got going for you. It’s not a big,
fleshly and obviously miraculous thing, it’s not a big sensation
that attracts everyone’s attention, it’s just My quiet voice you
carry with you, and that people can partake of via your
publications or songs.
Just like with young shepherd-king David of old, your greatness
does not lie in your talents and skills, but in the magic of My
wonderworking words to you. That’s where your future lies, and
the true greatness of your ministry.
David had a much greater impact on the world through the lyrics
of his Psalms than he had through any other feats of his. It was
the still, small, quiet voice of the whispers of My Spirit and truth,
that echoed throughout history in a more lasting, persisting and
powerful way than any of his great an mighty feats. That is the
magic of the Spirit, and all the magic you need.
432 _________________________________________________
Why do all things work together for good for those who love
God? Because they are obeying the greatest of all
commandments, which is to “love the Lord thy God.” Because
thereby they’re fulfilling the greatest and most important and
essential part of the Law of Love, and just like any other law, it
works both ways: it has an effect on you if you keep it. It also will
have an effect on you if you try to break it or defy it, which is why
the world is in such a mess, and people get themselves into
individual messes.
Once you get back in line with the balance of keeping My Law of
Love, things will start working out alright again. It’s the
difference between blessing and curse, between walking the high
road of living for God and others, and the low road of living for
self.
Of course, seemingly bad things will continue to happen even if
you keep the Law of Love according to the best of your abilities,
because the Devil will attack you, test you and try to dissuade
you. But when you truly love Me, you will even see those things
differently, and you’ll know that sufferings can be a blessing in
disguise, and pain can be a way to partake of what I have gone
through for each of you out of love.
Once you truly love, you won’t necessarily shun the pain
anymore, but you eventually get to the point where you accept
and welcome hardship and adversity, and embrace them as
friends who will make you stronger on your path.
That’s one of the great secrets: the stillness, the acceptance of
yielding to the hand of God in your life, even if it brings times of
trouble and sorrow, to just let it be.
Most Christians rebel against that idea and say, “No, we are
God’s children. We shall not see any sorrow. He’s going to whisk
us into Heaven before the Tribulation comes.”
But My children need to pass through the Tribulation in order to
be cleansed and purified from their sins, from their many lacks
and ways in which they are failing to love Me truthfully, genuinely
and sincerely.
Part of loving Me is manifested in loving the truth, and not
settling for any comfortable half-truth and compromise with the
truth, such as the easy-way-out Pre-Tribulation-Rapture doctrine,
etc.
The treasure that you find in the Family may not necessarily
always be personal happiness, nor the fulfillment of all your
wildest dreams and expectations, nor all the love you may seek
in this world, but the treasure one can find, if they’re interested,
is the truth.
That’s the connection between truth and love. If you love Me, you
will love My truth, and the extent to which you will love My truth
and will refuse to settle for half-lies and compromises will show
how much you really love Me.
Those who bend the truth or accept the bendings of the truth of
others in reality only do so not out of any love for Me, but out of
love for themselves. They want Me to cater to their egos and thus
bend My truth in order to better suit them and their personal
preferences.
They want Me to whisk them out of this world and into Heaven
before the Tribulation that would make them clean and pure and
white for Me. They want the easy way out; they don’t want to go
the full length of the path for Me.
They deny others the right to their Salvation and the security of
eternal Salvation, because they couldn’t bear the thought that
they should be so much less than special to have to share
Heaven with all those other seemingly less deserving than they.
They shut themselves and their followers off to the voices of
their many helpers that could speak to them words and whispers
of truth and wisdom, so that their own voices will be heard, and
their own “truths” will be proclaimed instead. They want to
establish their own rule, instead of allowing My Holy Spirit to rule
over them.
And of course, they reject truths of My Gospel, such as forsaking
all, having all things in common, and going into all the world to
preach the Gospel out of obviously selfish reasons, coming up
with cheap excuses why I possibly couldn’t demand such
sacrifices of them in this day and age.
So, don’t see it as a curse, but as a blessing, that I have set you
so far apart from them, that you can’t and won’t possibly be part
of them and accepted by them. It may be relatively lonely up here
on this hill, this mountain with Me, the mountain of truth, but
reckon it a price well worth this immense treasure, whose
splendor may right now be hidden from their eyes, but shall be
revealed when all that they consider riches will have faded away
and only what’s real remains.
433 _________________________________________________
I just love you, that’s all. I just know that I love you. That’s
basically all that matters to Me. I don’t expect you to be perfect,
and there’s nothing you could ever do to make you more
deserving of My mercies and blessings I bestow upon you. What
matters is that I love you, and I’m just so thrilled about the fact
that you do love Me back to the best of your abilities.
I don’t look at your lack of progress, or how much more progress
you could or should be making, the way you might look at it. I’m
just so happy that you love Me at all and do what you can.
A lot of people don’t like Me because of the ugly image I’ve been
given by My Enemy. So, I’m really thankful and proud of those of
you who do what they can in order to restore My image to the
world and show them Who and how I really am, and that I’m a
real and reliable Source and Force that people can rely on.
Thank you for all your efforts you’re making to get people to put
their faith in Me!
I want you to know that you can always rely on My love, that it’s a
steady thing, and not dependent on what you’re doing or how
you’re doing. I want you to be able to absolutely depend on it,
and to be sure that you can rely on it anytime, regardless of
whether you’re doing alright or not so hot at any given moment.
My love for you is not conditional. I want you to be sure of that
no matter what.
Those people who put Me in boxes and portray Me as a moody
God Who would one day consider someone saved and on
another day condemn them back to hell if they don’t behave
accordingly or don’t keep the rules, they don’t have any idea how
off they are, and how they are distorting the picture of Who I
really am in people’s minds, and what amount of damage they’re
doing by creating this false image of Me.
I certainly don’t want you to become affected by their false
picture of Me. That’s not Me!
Blessed are they who can rely on My mercy and who can enjoy
being children of a loving God, Whose love is never-ending.
Almost as important as what you do is the incentive and
motivation out of which you do it, which also determines the way
you do it, and witnessing in particular is something that can
really only render the desired fruit in the spirit if it is done in the
right spirit, namely a spirit of love and faith, rather than out of
fear of what might happen to you if you don’t do it. Because if
you do it out of fear, then you pass on that same spirit: “If you
don’t do this or that, then God just might strike you down and
destroy you!”
For many it’s still, “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of
wisdom.” But that was the rule and spirit of the old covenant. The
new spirit and motto is, “God so loved the world,” and “all things
work together for good to them that love Him back.” It’s not
anymore, “Woe unto you if you do or don’t do this or that,” but
“All you’ve got to do is receive and accept His love, and God will
respect that token of your acceptance of Him and His love as
something so precious, He will accept you as His child, and will
care for you.”
You know how you as a parent were a lot tougher with your
oldest child than you were with the rest of them that followed?
You become softer as time continues, and you realize more and
more that love really is the way, the only way.
Well, if there’s one aspect in that I’ve changed between the Old
and the New Testaments, it is that it has become more
abundantly clear that love really is the way. And while that love
may have been manifested primarily through a firm hand of
discipline in the Old Testament, having become a Man and one of

your neighbor the way the Jews treat their neighbors, the
Palestinians, then according to My book and view of things, it
doesn’t cut the cake. Of course, many Christians, although they
have the New Testament, don’t really get the point, either, and
they side with the Jews and don’t see the injustice and
monstrous crime that’s being committed once again in My Name,
in the name of their God – the God of Jews and Christians alike.
It shows that for this day and age, a new Gospel is necessary,
and more of My counsel is necessary than what is to be found in
the Bible, and that is why I’m pouring out New Wine in
abundance. You can get My real picture, the accurate picture of
Who I really am, and can and must convey that and pass that on
to the world.
The world doesn’t need another group of people who preach that
picture of a harsh, unforgiving and rigid God, but they need to
see Me as I really am: a merciful, forgiving, ever-pardoning God
Whose heart is broken over the atrocities committed unto man by
those who claim to be on My side, when nothing could be further
from the truth.
They have never known Me, and thus I have never known them.
They don’t know Who I am. And accordingly, they portray and
convey a false picture of Me to the world, and that’s the idol I
want you to tear down and destroy: the false image of Me that
others have created for the world.
434 _________________________________________________
In order to finish some things you have started, you’re just
going to have to get over any lack of enthusiasm and inspiration
that hits you sometimes, since it’s natural to feel inspired about a
project at the onset of it, but it usually wears down the longer it
drags on and actually becomes work.
You’ll certainly get a lot more accomplished in the long run if you
don’t just wait for extraordinary inspiration to hit you, but simply
do it because you know you ought to, and keep working on
something you started simply because you should also finish it…
Remember that one thing is required in stewards, that a man be
found faithful, and your faithfulness in your work for Me is one of
the most important qualities, which you know from My Word I’m
going to praise you for.
So you know that faithfulness pays.
If you want to please Me and make Me happy, just be faithful in
your work for Me.
As much as you may dread monotony, are you willing to make
that sacrifice for Me every now and then, and work on something
for Me that you don’t specially feel inspired to do, and just do it
anyway? Consider it part of your cross for Me, part of your
responsibility toward Me, part of the cup that you might prefer Me
to let it pass, nevertheless, you determine, not your will, but Mine
be done. One of those things you do for Me, which, by choice
you would perhaps prefer not to do.
It’s not like I don’t want you to have fun in your work. You’ve got
to forget about the contest and the reward and whether you’re
going to be a winner or a loser for some time, and just enjoy the
fun of it.
Once you get the hang of the fun of it, regardless of whether
you’re going to win the trophy or the crown, you start becoming
any good at it, and that’s when you start becoming good at life
itself.
You’ve got to enjoy the thing you do and have a glory in it, and
not just dread it or think about whether you’re going to be the
winner and take away the trophy or not…

“Do what you like” is one of Satan’s slogans, because it’s one of
the slogans and mottos of selfishness. Remember that My motto
was and is, “Take up your cross and follow Me.” Taking up your
cross and doing what you like are two diametrically opposed
things. You either do the one or the other. You can wait forever
until you’re going to “like” taking up that cross, it’s never going
to happen.
All you can do is do what you know is right, and just by knowing
that it’s something I have ordained and by trusting that I know
what I’m doing, perhaps happiness is going to overtake you, in
spite of your own original tendencies to dread what I was asking
of you, and you might actually wind up enjoying it…
435 _________________________________________________
I can see things you can’t. I see past present circumstances,
and I can only encourage you to try and do the same.
Remember who’s the author behind getting annoyed and
aggravated. It’s not Me.
Love is the most important thing, and that includes having
patience with your children and loved ones, even if they’re not
perfect according to your ideas and standards.
This is one way the Enemy works in fathers’ lives: he gets them
annoyed at some of the traits of their children and thus creates
deep gaps between them, some of which have never been
bridged during their life-times.
Of course, there is the other end at which the Devil is working,
and that is making children become so spoiled these days, that
people figure, “Who in their right minds would want to have kids
anyway?”
But becoming really annoyed by their children’s traits and less
than perfect qualities is especially something fathers have been
prone to. They raise their standards of expectations from their
kids so high, that they can’t hide their disappointment when the
children fail to live up to them.
This may not happen consciously, but you do notice that when
your child acts a certain way that annoys you, that you must
have been hoping or expecting them to turn out differently.
Well, but that’s just the way life is: things turn out differently than
you may have expected, including your children.
And as usual, you have the choice to either murmur and
complain about your fate, or praise and thank Me for having done
and allowed what I knew would be best for your general outcome
and eternal happiness.
Maybe if everything would be the way you like it and expected it
to be, you would have become spoiled by life, instead of learning
the lessons that come along with hardships and adversities…
So, if life, including your children, isn’t exactly the way you’d
want it to be, remember that things might not necessarily be all
that much better for you, your character, and your ultimate
outcome, if they were different, and that I know best what I’m
handing you.
Try to catch a glimpse of the way I see things! Try to get a view
from My perspective! True maturity is all about letting go of your
own biased view and swap it for a new one, the view of the One
you trust simply knows better than you.
If your child has some qualities or habits that seem to be Enemy. You’ve got to keep your love pure, and not allow the
extremely difficult for you to handle, let life rub them in so that Enemy to sneak in and let him usurp the place of love with lust.
you can really learn whatever it is I am trying to teach you It’s when you get your eyes off the Creator and instead become
through them.
Maybe that’s precisely why parents get annoyed by their creation instead of the Creator, that sin gets in and contaminates
children’s undesirable traits: they’re a reflection of their own, and and ruins something that could have been pure.
their pride usually makes it pretty hard for them to deal with that. Life is constructed in such a way that it’s bound to happen that
Maybe it’s just My way of saying, “See? That’s what you’re doing
to Me!”
You may be doing fine compared to others, who are doing worse,
but you’re not doing so fine compared to the way you could be
doing, if you would truly keep your eyes on the essential, instead
of allowing yourself to be so easily sidetracked by relatively
superficial and temporal matters.
436 _________________________________________________
You’ve been using the sub-standard attitudes you’ve seen in
others as an excuse to lower your own, but I’m not going to let
you get away with giving less than you could and ought to
without suffering the consequences for it.
Others have been your excuse for lowering your standard and
level of commitment, and accordingly those who are supposed to
be able to look up to you have been lowering theirs. It’s a vicious
cycle and chain reaction that stops nowhere unless and until you
decide to put a stop to it in your life.
Get moving and give it your all.
The hard-working, all-giving, dedicated disciples may still be
somewhat of a minority. But you’ll have to decide what group
you’re going to belong to: the on-fire minority, or the lukewarm
majority.
437 _________________________________________________
The main purpose of My Word is not to instill a feeling in you,
but to provide you with truth as a foundation to build your faith
on.
The purpose is not just to instill in them some fleeting feeling
and emotion of inspiration, like the folks in church on Sundays
are craving, but the main purpose of the truth you convey and
pass on to others is to ignite in them a faith that they can build
their lives on, and that will be more than a feeling, something
solid, sturdy and lasting in the spirit.
Even if the inspiration level isn’t always the same, just as the
emotional level in a personal relationship isn’t always the same,
the feeling isn’t the goal, but the goal is the life you can build
from the working relationship and the trust that it engenders.
That’s marriage. That’s being My bride. That’s more than just
being a visitor on Sundays and giving Me an occasional call just
to let Me know what you need. That’s receiving My seeds in you
and allowing them to bring forth fruit in you from Me with time.
That’s being family.
I’ve been trying to get you into wanting and recognizing the real
thing: not to have a relationship with Me for whatever’s in it for
you, because that’s just not the way genuine happiness is found,
not to do things you know please Me only for the benefits you
might reap from it, but to really develop a love that’s real, and
that is so much more than a feeling. It creates a whole new way
of being in you, of doing things, of seeing things, and a new way
of thinking and perception.
Putting away childish things means you’re bidding farewell to the
toys and getting ready for using the tools, doing the grown-up
things, the mature thing. It’s the transition from playing and
fooling around to actually working and bringing forth fruit, from
consuming to feeding others.
438 _________________________________________________
Love is like a flame you have to guard well, and like a spring
of water that you’ve got to guard well from the poisoning of the
too obsessed with creation, and you start worshiping the
you slip and fall and mistakes, so that those precious lessons
can be learned from it. But it’s pretty important that you do learn
the lessons, and not just keep falling into the same trap and
repeating the same old mistakes over and over again.
“He that soweth to the flesh will reap the corruption of the flesh.”
If you focus too much on the creation instead of the Creator and
worship what’s given instead of the Giver, you’re bound to
experience the repercussions.
I can’t just let you go down the wrong track without doing
anything about it. That would be a very irresponsible Parent.
439 _________________________________________________
Time will do the talking. Time will reveal who will bear the
greater responsibility for any damage done, for any immature
behavior.
Pride will regularly try to invade your lives and throw in some
monkey wrench.
Be aware of the Devil’s devices through pride, and the damage
he can cause pretty quickly, if you don’t stay on guard.
Staying humble means also to be able to take some fuss with
grace occasionally, and not react in an ugly way that will make a
mountain of a problem out of what could have been a little
molehill.
A large percentage of maturity is humility. As long as you’re still
proud, you’re prone to acting immaturely.
It remains one of the factors about human nature that the thing
you can see the least is your own faults, your own sin and your
own blame in a matter.
Every relationship has its trials, the big question is, how do you
handle them?
440 _________________________________________________
While less than unconditional love may not be true love, an
attitude of unwillingness to change, or of being too lazy to even
give it a try, isn’t exactly the epitome of true love, either.
A zero change and zero progress attitude is an attitude that leads
to stagnation and death. It suffocates a relationship.
Some sort of progress and growth – meaning change – is
supposed to be happening in a relationship or marriage; you’re
not supposed to stay forever right in the same spot where you’ve
always been.
If someone seems to be unwilling to change and to move forward
and advance toward the goal of a happy family and a fulfilled
marriage, it can be very frustrating, and kill any incentive to
invest more energy into it.
If they see that you’re not willing to invest an effort into the
relationship, they figure a one-sided effort would only be futile.
That defense mechanism of expecting some kind of return for
their labors of love is there for their protection. Otherwise folks
would just endlessly abuse them, and have them pour and pour
and pour into them without ever giving anything in return. But
that’s not how it’s supposed to work.
Even I expect certain things from My bride in return for pouring
out My life to her: obedience, faithfulness, loyalty, faith and trust
in Me…
It’s a matter of focusing more on the other one, the partner,
instead of only on one’s own needs, wants and desires. It’s a
matter of grooming the quality of unselfishness.
441 _________________________________________________
You’re representing a voice of genuine truth where usually
lies prevail.
It’s kind of a lone venture, and that makes it harder, of course,
but then again, thus has it been with most pioneer efforts ever
made.
If everybody would have been gung ho from starters, just like
during the “gold rush” that usually followed later, it would have
been a different story for history’s pioneers, but not necessarily
always better…
Some company you’re better off without.
442 _________________________________________________
Your children are not only your most attentive students, but
also your best teachers.
Through the fact that “God repented Himself of the evil He had
thought toward His children” you read about in the Old
Testament, you can see that even God – as perfect as He is –
actually learns through His children.
There is an actual relationship going on, and relationship always
has an impact on both parties.
Although in essence God is a constant and changes not, there
are certain qualities and attitudes toward certain individuals and
His relationship with them, the things He is going through in
relationship to them, that do change, but it is always a positive
change.
The genetic information for any complete life-form is already
there in its simplest state. Although the outward appearance may
change over time, the essence, the gist, the information in its
genes, does not change.
The “genetic code” of God, so to speak, is permanently good and
reliable, nothing can change about that, which is the essence of
the message, “I, the Lord, change not.” You can count on Him,
trust in Him. He’s not going to turn bad on you. With Him, it can
only get better.
443 _________________________________________________
Even though it shouldn’t be so that man only judges by the
outward appearance but should learn to see more the way God
sees things, unfortunately, man hasn’t learned those things yet
the Bible is trying to teach.
And if you’re trying to teach them, what’s important is that you
show that you have learned something from the Bible yourself,
and that is that you’ve got to become one with them in order to
reach them, you’ve got to become all things to all men.
444 _________________________________________________
Sometimes you’ve got to have faith for that solitary path that
nobody else is walking, and follow through with it, trusting that I
don’t give you a snake if you ask Me for an apple or an egg.
A prophet isn’t esteemed in his own country, so you have to do
extraordinary things in order to get their attention.
In some ways I have made you some kind of an oddball sticking
out, and you have to be ready to deal with not fitting perfectly
into the overall picture.
Some folks in My work just have to have the guts to be slightly
different from everybody else, just because it happens to be My
will for their particular situation.
This is the direction I’ve been guiding you, and you need courage
to walk in that path because not only are you walking it pretty
much alone, but you’re also getting some signs of flak or
skepticism.
People simply resent what’s not like them.
The question is, what kind of group do I want you to become one
with? In a culture where fitting in and following the mainstream
and herd instinct of the masses is the rule of the day, what kind
of people are you trying to reach? Those who dare to venture

452 _________________________________________________
Walk by faith, not by sight. Keep your eyes on Me, instead of
yourself. If you were perfect, what would you need Me for? You
would probably just rely on yourself and forget all about Me! You
ask Me, “Why hast Thou made me thus?” Well, here’s the reason.
I need you that way.
Anybody can imitate the way everybody’s doing it, and quietly
sink into the morass of the masses. Or they can try to be
“different” the “proper” way, by being some kind of a star or
artist that’s accepted by the System. So, I’ve made you
different… Is that such a burden to live with?
Why not leave the variety I like to create up to Me, and trust Me
that that’s okay? It may not be perfectly okay according to the
Devil’s and the System’s standards, but it will be certainly okay
according to the status quo of the eternal World to come! The
name of the game there won’t be, “Try really hard just to act and
look and be like everybody else,” but “Just be yourself, and
enjoy the way God made you!” That’s the liberty and freedom I
have ordained for My children and creatures to have, not the
bondage of having to worry about how different and “apart from
the norm” I made you! To hell with “the norm,” as far as I’m
concerned!
The “norm” is on their highway to hell! Let’s put it this way: Only
different folks go to Heaven! Only those who are bold enough to
refuse to just kowtow to the way that is dictated by the rulers of
the darkness of this world. They want slaves, not free human
beings, much less free human spirits, free enough to
communicate with their Creator and be whoever He wants them
to be.

It’s good to stay aware of the fact that when it all comes down to You’ve got to have the guts to be different, even if it’s different to

thing out the door is your love for them. And with your ability to
love, your happiness also goes.
So, what would you rather be? Proud of who you are and
miserable and unhappy, or happily, humbly loving?
It’s all a question of how much you’re willing to embrace humility.
The “hip” have every reason to be proud. The “un-hip” have
every reason to be humble. So would you rather be hip & proud
or odd and humble? If you can accept your oddness and
strangeness as a means for Me to keep you humble and happy,
maybe then you can live with it better.
Be glad that you have the liberty to be just who you are, and that
you’re not bound by the pressure to be like everyone else, like all
those slaves of conformity out there!
So, the world says, “Blessed are the cool, the hip and the proud.”
I say, blessed are the odd, the strange and the humble. Who are
you going to believe? Do you think what I was doing during My
life-time on earth was the ordinary thing? Recruiting honest,
hard-working men away from their jobs and families for a cause
that in the eyes of some, if not most, was highly questionable,
and that led Me to a public execution? If I was the Savior of the
world, you might say that My style was certainly highly
unorthodox! No wonder the Jewish establishment had such a
hard time accepting Me! They had expected something or
someone a lot nobler, a lot more “together,” and not just a
carpenter’s son from Nazareth, which was like a by-word among
them. “Can anything good come out of Nazareth?”
It took the eyes of true faith to see in Me something nobler than
the Scribes, Pharisees, puppet kings and Roman authorities! It
also took the eyes of faith to realize My true ministry: to save
them from a greater bondage than that of Roman occupation,
namely the bondage of sin.
Your role certainly isn’t to please everybody! It’s certainly not
just to be another one of those popularity junkies trying to show
off how many “friends” they can get on MySpace! If anything,
your role is to show that there is something different than all that
indeed! There’s a different way to do it, a different way to live, a
different way to go than the abhorrent “normal” way, which is the
worst abomination in My eyes since the beginning of the world.
Never before was the way that leads to destruction and hell so
broad and wide, and never before did so many walk in it! Even a
lot of “saved” people are walking down that same road to
destruction, and to the perdition of all their works! The only thing
they’ll save out of it will be their naked souls, but so as if through
fire. So, let that little bit of heat you’re experiencing not perplex
you, that heat of wondering, “Am I alright? Am I on the right
path? It’s so lonely up here. Are you sure You’re not leading me
up a wrong way, Lord? – Nobody else is walking it. Are they
shaking their heads at me and laughing about the odd and
strange path I’m taking?” What is that to thee? Come thou, follow
Me, regardless of whether this is the “common” path, the
“conventional” path, the “normal” or “accepted” path! Will you
follow Me up that road, even if nobody else is walking it?
I’m not saying that you are better than anyone else. All I’m saying
is that this is your road, this is My will for you, and your test is,
whether you’re going to believe Me for it, and obey Me, even if
there’s nobody else on that same road – yet! And maybe nobody
else ever will! Be happy if it’s not a crowded road, but if it’s a
lone and solitary road! You’ll have all the more opportunity to
hear from Me and less distractions to worry about!
Maybe yours is destined to be a road of solitude. Maybe not. Can
you trust Me for it, either way, and just take whatever comes, and
just do what I lay on your heart to do, and be yourself, that which
I’ve created you to be without shame and embarrassment?
It’s okay the way you are and who you are because I made you
that way, and doubting that is like saying you know better than
Me! “Lord, you must have made a mistake in the way You made
me!” Why don’t you worry about your job and let Me keep
worrying about Mine? Yours is just to pass on what I give you, no
matter what.
453 _________________________________________________
Everybody is prone to make mistakes.
How much of My love is being conveyed through you to those
you come in touch with is dependent solely upon you, and I’m
certainly not putting any limits on the amount of love you may
feel free to share. It’s just that you have found that you bump into
your own natural limits. You bump into limits like jealousy that
limit the amount of love you can freely share with others, then
you bump into limits that make you afraid of what others might
think if you show an extraordinary amount of love… lots of
factors that limit the amount of love you share with the world that
everybody is prone to.
What the Devil is trying to stop the most from happening, is love,
because that is the proof that I’m still around, it’s the trademark
of My existence. And as you know from the Scriptures, one of the
signs of the time of the End in which you’re living is that
“because iniquity (or unbelief) shall abound, the love of many will
wax cold.”
He’s trying to kill the love, not only in the world, but also in My
people around the world.
He manipulates people subtly and cleverly into operating out of
selfish interests, and so selfishness, sometimes subtly
disguised, is often the true incentive that motivates people, even
if they may claim to be acting out of love.
What’s important is that no matter what you see or experience,
you don’t lose the love, but you keep coming back to Me
faithfully for more love to pass on to the world!
The Family isn’t a big piece of cake I proudly present to the
world, but basically, a piece of work I present to the world for
anyone to participate in who has the nerve, the courage, the
necessary devotion and dedication and love for Me that it takes.
Sorry if among those who say “I will,” not everybody’s perfect.
How do you measure love? Can you truly measure love by the
amount of emotion and tears one man can evoke out of others by
a speech he is holding? Maybe. But the way I measure love is not
only by the words a man speaks, but by his actions. The daily
living together, in spite of personal differences, is a much greater
proof of love to Me. Now, there may still be friction within those
efforts of love, and that friction may sometimes make you
wonder, “Where is all the love?” but it’s still a lot more than most
other people, groups and denominations and churches even
attempt to do.
You look at the missing button, I look at the vest. You stare at the
hole, I stare at the donut. You see the lack of love, I see the effort
made that amounts to more love and greater love than I can find
anywhere else at present in this world.

John and Daniel had to “earn” their laurels, too, in order to

motivates you to win their souls to Me? Because it is only love,
and nothing but love that will enable you to do that, after all.
I’d rather have you so in love with Me that I won’t have to
persuade you any longer to do anything for Me, but you’ll gladly

tends to make it bigger.
Whereas if you focus on Me and the vast amount of love I have
for everybody, My love enables you to even love your enemies.
Receiving more love from Me can be compared to recharging a

all about: investment. How much are you willing to invest in their

much are you willing to invest in their happiness at the cost of
your own preferences and the things and circumstances that
would make you personally happier, temporarily? How much are
you willing to sacrifice of your cake in order to feed them the
essence of life? How much are you really willing to unselfishly
help them, even if there’s nothing in it for you?
That’s the kind of love with which I love you. I don’t just love you
in order to get you to do things for Me or do things My way.
Let them be who they are, and let them find out by allowing them
to walk the road they choose. You cannot drop them like a hot
potato because they didn’t choose your exact same road.
That’s another aspect of the Law of Love: you grant people the
right to make their own choices, just as God does. You won’t

But it’s one thing to be making mistakes, and yet another to be
totally on the wrong track in some aspects.
So, while My chosen path for this time may not look perfect, it’s
still a whole lot better than the alternative, even if it takes faith to
believe that!
My true and chosen few have always been a peculiar and
somewhat weird and chaotic bunch, compared to those who
“had it together” on the surface, those who made it big in the
world. And on the surface, those “winner” types look so much
more appealing, to the extent where even some of My own people
were tempted and thought, “Those guys have it a lot more
together than we do.” And many have left My straight but rugged,
wild and narrow path for the seemingly more sophisticated
broadway to destruction that the large majority of the world is
going.
What’s really behind it is faith in this present world, rather than
the better one to come, and love for this present world, that
causes the Demases to forsake Me and My Cause and My
people… the desire to have it all here and now, instead of
suffering a bit now in order to reign later. And the lie of the
churches is, of course, the ultimate and very tempting
compromise: “You can have both: fame and fortune here and
now and in the afterlife!” “You can be a star, both, in this life and
in Heaven.”
Well, but I’m going to be the One to decide who is really going to
go over as a “star” and who will “shine like the firmament” in My
Kingdom, and those compromisers that look so appealing and so
“together” to you, and like having so much more than you do,

You can’t lead many to righteousness by singing exclusively to

become “partakers of her sin,” and it happens more subtly than
many realize. In fact, they don’t. They’re not aware of their sin at
all.
What do they really know about forsaking all, about living and

They don’t have a clue what it means to be despised and rejected
of all men for My sake.

True love is always based on truth, no deceptions needed.
The cards are on the table. No bluffing, no pretences, no wishful
thinking, and thus no efforts required to keep something going
that perhaps doesn't really exist, the way people do when they
strongly want something to the extent that they're willing to
sacrifice a chunk of reality for it.
It's a great lesson on the importance of the amount of truth in
relationships, and when you've got to be afraid of telling the
other the truth for fear of their reaction, when you've got to start
hiding things from them, that is never a good sign.
Without total honesty, a relationship cannot really survive in the
long run. True love is totally open, nothing to hide.
471 _________________________________________________
Focusing on others, and what they might think of you is not
exactly looking unto Me or focusing on Me, is it?
I know, there’s that desire to want to “fit in,” to be accepted, and
it’s hard when you don’t. But you’ll just have to trust that this is
the path I have chosen for you.
Those “black sheep” are sometimes My test for My people to see
whether they will love the least of their brethren the way they
would love Me.
The truth is that I’m more often to be found in “the least of your
brethren” than in the well established and accepted, mediocre
“like-everybody-else” types.
The “black sheep,” weirdoes and “least of the brethren” types
usually have much more time to think profoundly than the others
who spend most of their time in popular chatter.

470 _________________________________________________
Sometimes it’s okay to be humbled a little by the fact that
you do need others. It makes you look weak, helpless, and lost,
and you cry out, “Help, don’t leave me here at the mercy of these
people!”
You never hear about the ones who always fit right in. The people
that make history are usually the ones who didn’t fit in. They
didn’t just go under in the crowd, they stuck out.
Now there are pros and cons to sticking out. The cons are: it’s
lonely, it’s painful, and you don’t think very highly of yourself
because you don’t feel accepted. The pros are that you learn to
judge by other standards than the superficial standards of men,
you spend more time thinking or praying, more time with Me, you
become more profound, develop more conviction that way, and
all in all, develop a much stronger personality than those who
just swim with the tide and do what everybody else is doing, or
what they’re being told to do.
It takes faith sometimes to believe that I knew what I was doing in
making you some kind of oddball, not like the other ones.
Thoughts of evolution start creeping in, and “natural selection,”
and that certainly you’re the type who hasn’t been favored by
“Mother Nature.” But that’s precisely why folks like you tend to
cling to Me more desperately than the average. “Mother Nature”
doesn’t cut the cake, as far as they’re concerned.
If there wasn’t some kind of higher purpose and some plan
behind Me making you differently, then you figure, “Life sucks.”
And I don’t blame you for thinking so, because according to their
game, and their rules of “the survival of the fittest,” etc., it really
does.
I don’t blame you for not feeling at home in that world.
Unfortunately, some of My children do strive to make their home
in that world, and seek to fit in there to whatever extent they can.
In fact, nearly everybody tries, and it’s usually those who simply
don’t succeed at it, who continually wind up being rejected by
this world or continue to simply not fit in nor feel at home in this
world, who wind up truly dedicating their lives to Me.
commandments will have fulfilled themselves in you like
promises, and you’ll have reached the point where you “shall not
kill, you shall not steal, you shall not bear false witness anymore,
and you shall love Me with all your heart and your neighbor as
yourself,“ etc.
While it wouldn’t make sense to put much effort into reaching
that state of sinless perfection and saintlihood in your own
energy, you can trust in My grace and Salvation power that
eventually you will reach that goal.
It only took one right choice.
My work is a work of the spirit. I do employ flesh in order to get it
done, but only flesh that is yielded to My Spirit.
Some have a portion of My Spirit, and yet are somehow on a
wrong track in other areas of their lives, resulting in My ultimate
judgment of them including a phrase like, “Nevertheless, I have
somewhat against thee…”
But even that kind of judgment is referring to their present state,
and not that which they will be.
You have heard about big failures being transformed in Heaven,
and you were told to accept that they are not the same anymore
that they used to be.
There may still be some tears in Heaven over what they did, and
regret for the pain they caused when faced with some of those
who were immediately affected by it. But in the end, I will wipe all
those tears from their eyes, and all will be perfect.

The confrontation that you would naturally shun is the factor
that initiates and triggers your growth.
The confrontation and friction you’re refusing to deal with is

the contrast to My heavenly life, Here in My heavenly and eternal

It’s a lesson that just has to be learned, a process you simply
have to undergo, there’s no way around it, if you want to make
the most out of your life and learn all you possibly can, and not
just lead a ho-hum life and shady existence. And there is just one
way to make the most out of this, and that includes suffering.
Of course, you would have preferred a life without suffering, and

experience you’re growing through, feeling it, absorbing it and
letting it transform you.
Sometimes it doesn’t feel like you’re gaining or winning anything
new at all, but rather as if you’re losing something, and it’s true:
you’ve got to get rid of some excess weight that will just hinder
your growth and slow your progress down. Part of learning is to
discern what things to hold on to and what things to let go, and
before the end of the day I hope you’ll have found out that the
amount of things to let go far exceeds the amount of those you
should hang on to. Letting go is really what it’s all about in this
life. Letting go, instead of clinging to things you won’t be able to
keep anyway.
At the same time it is sometimes required to hang on to certain
individuals that you’d rather let go of…
Don’t go looking around for a way to escape in your own efforts,
or try to rig one up with your own arm of the flesh. The Promise
says that I will make that way. So, don’t do anything in your own
efforts that you might regret later on.
One of the major factors in all that you’re learning is to trust in
My doing, more than your own. I will always have to do the major
part in order for anything to work, and if I’m not in it, then it
usually won’t happen.
Can you yield to your destiny, which I have ordained for you to
go through? Can you embrace the pain, instead of cursing it?
Can you thank Me for this situation, even if it’s less than perfect?
Can you embrace the ugly leper and find Me there? How about
acceptance instead of rejection? How about trusting Me for what
I bring along, as ugly and weird as it may seem?
488 _________________________________________________
I don’t like for all things to necessarily be all the same, and
you can see that in My creation all over, where not one animal,
not one tree, is exactly like the other. So, should it be surprising
that I would work in My church, the supreme crowning of My
creation, in that same way? Why would I want each and every
member to be exactly the same, behave exactly the same way,
and act and look the same? This doesn’t sound like Me, does it?
Instead of prematurely dismissing what they have to say with a
“Been there, seen that” attitude, why not listen and hear them
out? Grant them the honor of your attention and show them that
they’re trustworthy and worthy of your attention, your ear, your
time, and of occupying some part of your existence with a part of
theirs. That’s love, too, you know?
Let them be themselves, say what they have to say, and grant
them an ear, even if it may fall outside of the scope of your
personal, immediate interest or curiosity.
It may seem or sound meaningless to you, but your tolerance for
what I’m doing in each other’s lives allows Me to do most of the
work and work in My mysterious ways that will bring out the
greater works that you, in your own efforts never could have
accomplished.
You can’t make love dependent on accomplishments, fulfilled
obligations and expectations. People have got to know that
they’re loved unconditionally in order to come up with the
inspiration and love to do anything that counts and matters in the
first place.
489 _________________________________________________
What matters is that you keep your eyes on the goal, your
focus on Me and keep flying southward in one of those V-
formations headed for the Great Gathering.
That is really all that matters, that you keep your eyes on Me and
keep following in My direction!
If they don’t do it, what is that to thee? Come thou, follow Me! It
is irrelevant to your path, what they are doing, as long as you
keep your eyes on Me and keep following Me. I didn’t say to My
disciples, “Come follow Me, and I will teach you how to elect new
leaders among yourselves, and new idols whom you can follow
after I’m gone!” I meant for each of them to become individual
followers of Me and individual fishers of men.
Each disciple, each follower and each fisher has to be his own,
standing entity that others, those who will be “caught” into the
Kingdom through them, will be able to look up to, learning from
them how to look unto Me and become their separate and
“independent” fishers of men themselves. Independent from
others by learning to be fully dependent on Me.
There are also situations where I want you to become dependent
on those you work with; to trust in them fully and to be able to
rely on them, but I never meant for you to allow anything anyone
else does to have such an impact on you that it would distract
you from your job for Me or your focus on Me!
Sometimes I require your obedience first, before you ever get to
see the first glimpse of a blessing or reward.
Love is something that you do, totally regardless of whether
anyone “deserves” your love or not. It’s simply My first and
greatest and only commandment, that’s all. You do it because
you’ve got to. It’s like breathing in order to stay alive.
You love in order to stay alive spiritually. You stop loving and you
die.
Just focus on this, your greatest, if not single responsibility each
day: to love.
You can’t let up on love! That’s the struggle and the fight you’ve
got to win! The Enemy will do all he can to discourage you from it
and tempt you to quit and yell in your ear, “That’s
unpardonable!” when they do something you consider wrong.
But have the grace to dismiss it and leave it up to Me to judge
that, and be wise & keep My advice in mind, “Judge not that ye
be not judged.”
Give it all to Me! Anything anyone might ever do or say to rub
you the wrong way, give it all to Me, as you’re learning to do with
everything else. If you give it all to Me, I’ll give it back to you in a
purified form that will enable you to enjoy it without any
problems. I can turn poison into food for you. All you’ve got to do
is give it to Me in the first place to cleanse it!
490 _________________________________________________
On one hand, the times in which you are living are more evil
than the days in which I was living, and there will come a time
when it will be necessary for you to curse your enemies and
defend yourselves from them with My power.
On the other, you are supposed to show love, for as long as you
can, and as much as you can. Once you see they rejected that
love for good, then they are basically cursed already by their own
decisions, and will bring events upon their heads that will either
make them repent eventually, or, if they continue to close their
hearts, they’ll eventually go down into the pit without you adding
any efforts to their misfortune.
Cursing people should really only be a last resort defense
against those who are your downright enemies, and not used in
small scale situations just because someone doesn’t seem to
like you. You can commit the affair into My hands, though, and
ask Me to work in their lives, which is basically what I’ve
commanded My disciples to do, to bless them that curse you and
to pray for them which despitefully use you and persecute you.
It’s no great art or feat to love those who love you. The proof of
the pudding, how much you’re really capable of love, comes
especially when it’s down to loving those who don’t love you, but
seem to oppose and reject you. Loving those requires a skill in
the art of loving that not everyone is master of, and it requires
the supernatural, superhuman type of love that only I can give
and teach and equip you with.
Training yourself in the art of loving in the face of hatred,
rejection and lack of love will also sharpen your skills and
abilities to deal with unloving behavior on behalf of your loved
ones, and instead of going on the defensive right away and
withdrawing and reacting negatively and allowing their lack of
love to produce more lack of love in you for them, you can learn
to counter that natural process and stop the chain reaction and
vicious cycle, and allow love to continue and go on, in spite of
the adverse circumstances.
It’s like praising Me and staying in the victory in spite of “bad”
things happening: you just keep on loving in the face of a lack of
love. You ignore the circumstance of the void, and just act as if it
weren’t there and continue to fill the atmosphere with your
positive vibrations from Me, and you will often bring about
miraculous results that way.
That’s the way miracles happen. You interrupt the usual, natural
run and expected sequence of things, and bring in a new,
supernatural ingredient, which allows the whole situation to take
a new, supernatural or miraculous turn with unexpected results.
Natural reasoning may tell you that they don’t deserve it, and it
may remind you that you ought to play tit for tat and give to them
the same as they gave you, to repay their bad behavior with more
bad behavior on your end, but the path of carnal and natural
reasoning isn’t exactly on the “winners’ list,” but it falls prey to
evil and becomes one of its earliest victims. You can’t just get to
My type of conclusion and happy ending by merely putting two
and two together, merely going by your own natural experiences
alone, leaning on your own understanding. You need
discernment that digs deeper and an ear that hears My whispers
in your heart that will tell you how you truly ought to react.
So, instead of the usual, instant, typical reaction, give it to Me,
and let Me handle it, analyze it and interpret it for you and then
show you what’s supposed to happen next, and how you ought
to react.
have to leave up to Me and commit the whole thing to Me in
prayer.
The only hope you’ve got not to make a mess of it, is to stay
really, really close to Me and follow Me each step of the way, just
do what you can, one day at a time, moment by moment, and
pray desperately that I won’t allow you to slip and have you say
or do something you might regret, that’s only going to make
matters worse.

That void in your heart and soul created for Me can never be
satisfied with anything less that utter union with Me.
Being a visible sample of that union with Me, instead of chasing
fleeting earthly pleasures like everyone else, is the only thing
that is going to arouse the curiosity and interest of others to find
out what it is you’ve got that they haven’t.
If you’re just after the exactly same stuff in life that they’re after,
money, fame, success and physical pleasures and comfort, then
it’s going to be pretty tough to persuade them that you found
what they’re looking for.
I can’t allow you to lose that desperation, that resolve that you’re
simply not of this world, that drives you into My arms for comfort
and solace and sweet heavenly communion with Me.
The Enemy is distracting enough people away from Me as it is. It
is almost as if I’m having to say to you, “Do you also want to go
away?” “Do you also want to turn your back on Me?”
I am Father of not merely one or two or three prodigal sons and
daughters, but of literal millions and millions.
It’s a pretty lonely job, being Father to so many distracted
children, off on Pleasure Island, having fun and letting the Devil
turn them into jack-asses…
That’s why it’s of utter importance to Me that there are at least
some who are aware of the Enemy’s scheme and won’t allow
themselves to fall for it, but make others aware of what’s going
on, too…
I want them to attend the school of life and pay attention to what
I’m trying to teach them. But the Devil whisks them all off to
Pleasure Island, keeping them busy, busy, busy with his
amusements, away from thinking – or putting them through his
fake imitation school, where they pretend to teach them things
and fill their heads with enough clutter so that there won’t
possibly be any space left for what’s essential.
Make your state of mind dependent on no other circumstance
than your union with Me. I’ve got to be the Constant in your life,
more constant than the sun, more constant than the weather!
Rejoice in a rainy day and let it be a golden opportunity for you to
let Me be your Sunshine, the One to light up your life, to bring
warmth and brightness and happiness.

Things aren’t going to stay forever as they are. Tough
changes are up ahead, and the sooner you get ready for change
and for what’s ahead, the better equipped you’re going to be.
You’re going to have to bear and put up with worse evils than the
ones you’re currently having to fight and put up with, so, be
thankful for the ones you’ve got, for they will prepare you for the
tougher road up ahead, greater obstacles and fiercer
adversaries.
Follow Me, the Great Teacher, step by step, to find out what I’m
trying to teach you out of every single circumstance and
situation of your life, especially the unpleasant ones.
It’s important that you’re open for the truth and the whole truth in
each aspect and situation, otherwise you wind up in a dead end
from which there’ll be no progress, no way out, until you accept
the thing you presently refuse to see.
Believing a lie is something you’ll wish to avoid at all cost.
496 _________________________________________________
I don’t need anyone to say big words to try to save My
reputation. What the world needs above all is a sample of true
Christian discipleship.
The few of the world I want you to win for Me – aren’t going to be
won by smart words, but only by your sample of love, and that is
something that sometimes simply requires the ability to take
things lying down and shutting up, just as I didn’t say anything to
defend Myself before My accusers.
Strive to live in such a way that when persecution comes, those
who know you will know that the accusations wielded against
you will be false, and in such a manner that they will want to pick
up and continue where you left off once you won’t be able to
continue your work.
You’re trying to win people, not prove to anybody who is right.
497 _________________________________________________
I’m as different from the world as anything or anyone can
get, and the more you become like Me, the more unlike them you
become.
The Devil promotes same-kind relationships, so that nobody will
reach out for the other, much less for the totally Other, which is
Me.
Whatever is “their own” is what has priority.
That’s why it’s so hard to create unity between different Christian
churches and denominations, because each of them primarily
respects and is loyal to their own, which is somewhat “natural,”
but then being a disciple of Mine is all about not following the
mere “natural” way – since the natural man or mind is at enmity
with God.
My way is supernatural.
So, a challenge to take on, on My behalf or as a Christian, would
be to seek the group of people that is the least like your own, and
try to reach out to them and find common ground with them… try
to bring Me to them.
Dealing with people is your job for Me, reaching out to people,
and reaching them with My message, and in this case, what’s
particularly challenging about it is the aspect of reaching
different people, since most people simply happen to be quite
different from you.
That’s the great magic of My story: I, the totally Other and
ultimate and epitome of being different to mankind, became just
like you, in order for you to be able to become like Me. First I
became like you in order to show you how to be like Me. That’s
the principle of “becoming one” and what Paul was referring to in
becoming a Roman to the Romans, a Greek unto the Greek, etc.
He walked toward them, he adapted to them in order to help them
find some common ground with him they were able to relate to.
In order to teach people to not just love their own kind, you must
give an example of loving those who are different from you to
begin with, make an effort to relate to them, be a sample of
someone who is accepting and understanding of those who are
quite different in views and manners from yourself.
I’m trying to teach you and bring about in you progress in the
area of greater tolerance and acceptance of the totally other, one
of the things which the world most needs.
How can you blame them for rejecting you for being different,
when you act just as intolerant of their ways and behavior? It’s
true that a lot of which causes them to be so different is that they
have strayed so far from My ways and the knowledge of My
Word. But how can you ever teach them better unless you first
show love for them in the first place, and acceptance of their
howbeit so very different ways?
You’ve got to give them a chance to accept and get to know and
absorb and assimilate My ways. Once they got the chance, the
ball is in their court and it’s all up to them. But until then, it’s
your responsibility to love them – just the way they are, just as I
have loved you.

Once you’ve received from Me the strength and instructions and

Everything you see in this world falls short of the perfection

You once had a glimpse of that perfection, and you’ve been

I needed to give you a taste of it so that you knew it existed, so

because you don’t even see them as mistakes.
An optimistic attitude alone, without a deep and sincere love for
the truth, won’t really get you through life truly successfully,
either. A life that has failed learning from its own mistakes isn’t
much of a life at all, since your mistakes are one of the greatest
purposes in life per se. And how can you say you’ve lived life
successfully when you’ve missed one of its major purposes?

You dug a hole, you created an empty place to bury the old life,
the dead, but you weren’t willing or ready to make it big enough
to meet the need.
Don’t do things half-heartedly; because that is one sure way
you’re not going to find the happiness you seek.
It’s easy to pursue your own satisfaction. Everyone does it. It’s
the natural thing to do. People do it until they wake up to the fact
that their efforts have been futile and in vain.
It’s a bit harder to dedicate your life to others, to pursue
responsibilities: you’re not always as cheerful when you do, so,
maybe they’re not the perfect sample of exuberant joy, but
they’re still doing the right thing, trying to do their best.
Helping a “blind” person to “see” takes skill, discipline and
persistence through tough times.
It’s easy to take on a job you know you’re getting paid for, and
which you can quit anytime if things don’t work out. But the
prospect of being stuck in a relationship with no way out, and not
much of an immediate reward or pay-off in sight doesn’t draw
many “volunteers.”
if you find yourself stuck in a hopeless and dreadful situation for
life, just think about others who are handicapped for life, and be
thankful for your hands and feet. Try to learn from their cheerful
and positive attitude about it, from their faith in My wisdom and
love and faithfulness to always fulfill My side of the bargain of
keeping My promise in Romans 8:28. Try to see the positive in it.

will have been worth it.
If you want to become like Me and have My kind of love for
people and souls, then you’ve got to be willing to go all the way,

All these drag you away from the little things, or from tuning in to

You’re focusing on the whole world out there, and it’s hard for
you to cope with your little world you find at hand before you, the
world you’re actually living in and spending most of your time in.
“Cyber space” has opened up a window for you to speak to

Don’t neglect your family, your Home life, the people you come in

that I am greater and stronger than any and all circumstances,
and that nothing and no situation is ever hopeless with Me;
never.
That’s the faith of the sisters Ten Boom; they saw what nobody

them, with each of the prisoners there. I wasn’t with those who
wielded the temporary power.
They may not have seen Me, but I was there, and I saw their

I’m With You, and My Spirit calls out to the children of men. I’m

515 _________________________________________________
This generation has become so hedonistic, they all practice
some sort of escapism into a dream world of pleasure and a
totally altered reality, just in order not to have to deal with the
real thing and life as it is at hand before them to touch and feel
and chew…
No one wants to deal with their responsibility for what is
happening in the world. They want to keep living in the illusion of
being the greatest, happiest and most enlightened nation on
earth and not face the reality of the suffering they’re inflicting on
people. It’s a game of self-deception, and at the same time
making other nations and peoples drunk and high on that same
gas.
People drink excessively in order to get a break and relief from
their ugly reality. They drink themselves into a stupor that makes
them feel better about themselves, alters their perception of
things, and the way they feel, and folks like that often feel like
they have to “share” that buzz with others. They’re basically
saying, “Come, get loaded with us, too! You don’t have to deal
with that ugly reality out there… Have a good swig of our wine
and come see things the way we do, feel the way we do…”
Never before has any nation or world power had the same ability
to make all other nations as drunk on its wine as America.
They stubbornly refuse to see how I might possibly see those
things. The truth is too much for them to bear, and so they
swallow the lie, mingled with half-truths, that will comfortably
keep them asleep in their dream world, where evil exists on a
much smaller scale, and the evil guys are always the other guys,
and they beat them every time.
They live in their illusion of “We Are the Champions,” while even
some of their own prophets are proclaiming that attitude an
illusion, proclaiming the fall of the American Empire.
She that was originally My Wife, but has turned her back on Me
and has gone a-whoring after other gods. She tries to get a free
ride on the back of the power and the strength of this world,
because that’s where her love lies. She doesn’t truly love Me, My
meek and seemingly weak and humble ways. She prefers the
pride of life, and so she tries to get a ride on the back of the
Beast and pretends to be the Queen of the World, but only until
that Beasts gets tired of her and rends her into pieces.
The AC will be the final instrument to bring on that judgment over
her, to let her reap what she has sown, and to fulfill My
commandment to give her double of the cup and portion of
destruction and suffering that she has given to the world.
It’s not only going to be the AC destroying her, but also the 10
kings who will give him their power. It will be almost like a
collective judgment of the main leaders of the world on the great
culprit, and along with her they will of course try to wipe out and
destroy all she stood for, including her supposedly Christian
values and everything associated with them.
As time goes by, the puzzle will become clearer, and reveal the
whole picture. It’s part of your ministry to decipher and discover
the meaning of these things. You learn to read My handwritings
on the wall and interpret them for the world, just as Daniel did for
the “bear” of his day, the Medo-Persian empire and its ruler.
You’re having another “dual kingdom” represented by a bear
right now, ready to devour the Babylon of this day and age… It’s
also significant that the Medo-Persian bear had three ribs in his
mouth, just as 3 horns of the ten will be uprooted before the
AC…
History repeats itself in strange little ways. The forces of old will
rise to new power, and the players of both sides will help their
teams. Just as Daniel is helping you from the Spirit World to
fulfill your part of interpreting My handwriting on the wall for the
world of today, so the forces behind the empires of the past are
working in the spirit for the other side. The spiritual forces are
the same. It’s all culminating for one great, ultimate physical
fulfillment.
516 _________________________________________________
(Daniel:) All the prophets have dreamed of this day in which
you are living, during which you see unfolding before you the
great happenings and events that we forecast so long ago.
It is exciting for us to observe from our vantage point all that is
going on, and we can also see things happening behind the
curtains and closed doors, that are hidden to you.
As much information as you have available, there is always more
to find out, always more truth to add to the Big Picture, more to
be revealed, more to learn, until it is complete and finished.
God’s revelations have always been an act of His supreme grace
and mercy. Sometimes you only become desperate enough to
really beg Him for those revelations, if your life and survival
depends on it, as it did in my case when Nebuchadnezzar
commanded all the wise men to be killed because they couldn’t
tell him his forgotten, yet troubling dream.
If the situation hadn’t been that desperate, it’s questionable
whether I had ever become what I did. It was this desperation
that awakened the gift in me – or at least to that extent.
It’s called destiny. God triggers some events in order to call to
life the hidden potential in us, and you and many others will
experience such calls likewise.
The greatest era of prophets is yet to come, of which my time
was only a foreshadowing of events. The ultimate fulfillment of
many of the ancient prophecies is still to come, and it is given to
your generation to witness these things.
And we, “the prophets which were before you,” shall be glad and
honored to help you out in sharpening your skills and discerning
the signs of the times, and the Lord’s handwritings on the wall.
The gift of interpretation is a gift that hasn’t been as appreciated
as it should, because it has been mainly limited to the
interpretation of tongues, and thus restricted to usage only in
situations where someone received a message in tongues they
needed interpreted.
But the gift of interpretation goes further than that, even as you
have recognized that the gifts of prophecy and discernment can
go further and be more elaborate than previously conceived.
You should ask the Lord for the gift of interpretation not only for
messages given in tongues, but also for dreams and world
events unfolding before you, even messages in movies you
watch, which can sometimes only be recognized through His
anointing and opening of your spiritual eyes.
God speaks just about all the time, and everywhere, and you
need to learn to interpret His messages all around you.
It’s all about deciphering God’s handwriting on the walls and
screens all around you.
His world is like a multi-dimensional screen on which He
constantly writes His messages, and you, His prophets – just like
us, during our lifetimes – must interpret them to the world and
tell them what it means and decode the messages for them… Sometimes you’ve just got to give and pour out of your life, even

The Family’s main job is to equip ongoing prophets and
evangelists like you, like apprentices, for the job. Whatever work
each one creates out of the gifts and skills they will be equipped
with, is up to them and the task each one of them is given by the
Lord.
Changing the world starts with recognizing the void and the
need, the places that lack and where errors have been
committed, and then taking the initiative to do what it takes to
replenish and refill them again, even if may look like a senseless
waste of time to others, because you may not be reaping
immediate benefits from your work or sacrifice.

The Big Picture is still in its imperfect, relative beginning stages,

One of the obstacles that prevent change is the inability to see
the need for positive change, progress and improvement. When
people think that things are just fine the way they are, they don’t
see, desire or pray for improvement. That’s why it takes seeing
the ugly truth about your own condition before you can make
upward movement into progress and growth. It takes the painful
realization of your own need, in order to grow and obtain what
you need to get in order to grow, instead of the self-satisfied
attitude of the Laodicean church, “I am rich, and increased with
goods, and have need of nothing” (Rev.3:17).
You have to pray for a miracle of spiritual healing from the
infectious bug of the Laodicean disease of lukewarmness that is
plaguing My church in this day and age, where it’s so easy to fall
into the trap of relying on one’s own flesh and comforts and self-
satisfaction, unable to see one’s own lacks and wants.

As Paul said, “No man liveth unto himself,” (Rom.14:7), and he
knew what he was talking about from his own personal
experiences, having found out that even if it may sometimes
seem as though you’re all alone and some “island” off on a
distant shore, whatever you do always affects others.
Whatever you do is going to affect the rest of the body in the
long run, and you are part of it, even if you may not feel like a
part of it sometimes.
Often these feelings come from the Enemy to create division
between you.
Paul’s loyalty to the Early Church resembled David’s loyalty to
Saul, and it became clear that Paul wasn’t seeking his own glory
or his own good in what he was doing, but that he was seeking
the greater good of the Kingdom, just as David, centuries earlier,
would have given his own life for Saul and the good of the
kingdom, rather than seeking his own advantage.

as something negative, not just a neutral sort of nothingness.
Maybe you thought by doing nothing at least you couldn't do
much harm. Well, that's what you get for that kind of thinking.
Doing nothing can be one of the worst type of sins anyone can
commit, especially when you know how to do good and do it not,
or when it is in your hands and within your power to give more.
You wonder, "But what could I have said and done in order to
prevent this from happening?" Well, you could have asked Me to
show you what to say and do. You were concerned about so
many other things and situations, too concerned to bother much
about this one. Well, now this "situation" is developing into the

a good time to start doing something about it?

when it comes to its results. But you can start today to make a

refusing to get involved, and get at least concerned and give
them prayer support, if nothing else.
If nothing else, you owe the world - and especially those parts of
it that are immediately concerning you, surrounding you and
touching yours - your prayers.
If you can't do anything else, at least you can still make a
difference with your prayers!

It’s a lot of hard work. And it takes a special type of worker, too,
to deal with them and handle them, to have the patience to clean

It takes “people-types” to do that, the type of people who like

Love also includes wisdom, not just openness for anything that

you that the “right” kind are rare.

558 _________________________________________________
Since it is wisdom you’re seeking, it’s going to require a lot
of wisdom in handling this situation properly, and if you don’t,
there is a lot of wisdom to be gained from the mistakes you will
make…
So, from My standpoint it’s a win/win situation in which you can’t
lose.
Just because somebody is failing or doing wrong, or making
mistakes, it shouldn’t stop you from loving them.
I knew that Peter was going to deny Me, and yet I never stopped
loving him…
I died for Judas, too, meaning that I forgave him. I had to forgive
him in order to be able to die for his sins…
Would you walk in My footsteps and do the same that I have
done and give your life for one who betrayed you?
Would you consider their life more valuable than your own?
Can you see that far into the deeper mystery from before time, as
C.S.Lewis put it, in order to be willing to take that step of ultimate
love and die for the traitor?
Forgiveness is part of wisdom. It adds that ingredient to it that
makes it soft and come from the heart. Knowledge is the hard
registration of facts and figures: you know what they’re guilty of
and what they ought to be judged for.
Heavenly wisdom sees further than that. Wisdom looks beyond
the immediate desire for justice. Wisdom incorporates the
mystery of forgiveness.
Sooner or later you’re going to marvel at how everything is
wonderfully connected and intertwined in My Big Picture… Even
the Judases and the ones who need our forgiveness the most are
an essential part of the Big Picture, and you are connected to
them within that picture. There is a relation, and their destiny and
fate is dependent on your capacity to forgive them.
Refusing to forgive would stop the progress of growing closer to
Me again. If you harden your heart, the door and passage is
blocked for them. “Whatsoever you loose on earth will be loosed
in heaven,” or in the spirit, and “whatsoever you will bind on
earth will be bound in heaven” (Mt.18:18).
You cannot save them from following that road they think is the
right one. All you can do is receive them again once they come to
the end of their rope and recognize the error of their ways.
in the meantime you can “watch and pray” over them… You can
be their guardian to the extent they will let you.
You can learn from it, and allow the experience to break you and
make you softer and wiser…
Will you follow Me, even if they choose to fall by the wayside?
Will you continue to follow Me or use their failure as an excuse to
quit?
559 _________________________________________________
Putting loving your enemies into practice is going to be
essential in the days to come. As the enemies of My Cause all
around you will increase, it’s expedient for you to learn how to
handle them and deal with them.
Anything that makes you cling to Me and seek Me more
desperately is good in My eyes, because it draws you closer to
Me, gets you more serious about things and enhances the
essential skill of dependence on Me.
Anything you can’t cope with in your own strength and wisdom
is good news for Me, because it will cause you to look to Me for a
way out, and there is no better way for Me to teach you.
There isn’t really anybody else for you to rely on. You’re there to
give them aid and comfort, but you can’t really lean on them for
full support, which is hard, but nothing will strengthen your
character more.
This is your challenge.
560 _________________________________________________
“The Gospel of the flesh” is a term that adequately describes
Satan’s Manifesto. “Come, let us show the Almighty just how
strong we are, and see whether we cannot cast Him off His
throne…”
He despises the “path of the weakling” that I seemingly chose.
He wants to reign, he wants to win. He wants to be the “all-time-
winner,” but cannot see in his blind rage that he is doomed to
become the greatest loser of all times.
In their short-sightedness they don’t see the power of spirit. The
only value they see is flesh… their own, glorious flesh. Flesh is
what rules, and flesh is all that counts. Flesh is what they will put
their money on, yea, they will dedicate and sacrifice their lives to
the flesh. Welcome to modern-day Baal-worship!
The more you realize the error of the way of the flesh, the more it
will drive home to you the supremacy of the spirit, and just how
important it is that you not be blinded by the lures of the flesh.
Time is on My side. Time will tell just how eternal, how glorious,
how immortal the flesh really is, and how all-powerful. Those who
put their money on the flesh, certainly don’t put it on the winner,
in the long run. Oh, it may seem like it, temporarily. It does look
more promising, somewhat, to the untrained eye of the novice
and the immature.
The gospel of the flesh has no place for the spirit, except in the
“mockers’ corner,” the place where they mentally discard all the
apparent “losers,” while they congratulate themselves and pat
themselves on the back for being so wonderful, so smart, so
enlightened, so powerful and glorious.
Rare has become the man who will not “walk in the way of the
ungodly,” and “sit with the scornful” (Ps.1:1). That’s where
everybody sits and walks, and, after all, isn’t their strength in
their numbers? Isn’t that from where they get their strength? Not
from Me, nor by putting their trust in Me, but by listening to one
another’s flatteries, any glimpse of hope that will feed their egos
and will tell them that they are being desired, and that will elevate
their flesh.
That’s why true love is the only kind of love that will stand the
tests of time. It shows a strength that they who live for the
temporal don’t possess.
What must remain is the truth, and you must stand steadfast in it.
You cannot be shaken by their desertion in the spirit.
If you allow their fall to shake you, they will only be confirmed in
their assumption that your way couldn’t possibly be the right
one. Only if they see you unmoved over time by countless
storms, will they finally begin to see that you’ve got something
more lasting than what they traded their happiness for.
if you won’t be moved by their wrong choices, it will also mean
that your attitude toward them won’t be much affected, your love
for them will remain strong and unconditional…
You must not see yourself as the victim, but them. They’re the
victims of their own poor choices. So, don’t weep for yourself,
but rather weep for them. Their path is a chosen path of pain and
sorrow, not yours.
They may laugh today, they may deride you and scorn you and
feel superior to you in their own little wisdom, but don’t let it get
to you in any way. In fact, their only hope is if you won’t let it get
to you and if you won’t allow your pride to interfere. Only by your
showing the strength of the spirit can they be convinced that
spirit is superior to the flesh, because they’ll not only see the
glories and beauties, but also the weaknesses, flaws and failures
of the flesh aplenty, and only by making a difference in your own
behavior can you convince them that spirit is superior.
Show them what true strength and greatness really is. Show
them what to do with the false, erroneous gospel of the flesh by
wholly rejecting it yourself, and not allowing yourself to fall for
any part of it!

can of what really costs you.
That’s what it means to “resist unto blood.” The Devil will fight

him back! You won’t let him dissuade you from giving all to My

Sometimes you just have to keep sucking by faith, thank Me

Sometimes you’ve just got to accept and take what I’m giving
you, even if it may not be exactly your “style.”
It can be a test of your loyalty. To whom are you more loyal, to
your “fans,” the outside world, your “audience,” or to Me? I’m
really your greatest, and most faithful fan, as you one day will
find out, and I’m also your best, most reliable and most faithful

And I’m probably easier to please than some of those you’re
bending over backwards for in order to make it right for them.
Plus, I’m the only One Who can enable and help you to make it
truly right for them, successfully! So, lots of reasons why it pays
to seek to please Me and trust Me for what I’m handing you, even
if the “critics” may be suspicious…

Disappointment serves to draw you closer to Me, even if it seems
to be doing the opposite at first.
You were having doubts whether I was able to relate to you at all,
but through having confronted those doubts, you received the
confirmation, that yes, I am able to relate to what you’re going
through. I can sympathize with you, even if My own character and
personality wasn’t of as selfish a nature as yours.
Mankind isn’t evolving as much as it’s devolving.
The world is becoming such an incorrigible and hopeless mess,
that it behooves you to pray with such an intensity as you never
have before.
I cannot allow you to dwell in the illusion that things are fine.
People want things to be fine, they want to enjoy life, that’s
natural, and that’s why you surround yourselves with pleasant
things, and you watch movies to divert you from the actual state
of the world. But you would really be better off praying more
instead.
The diversions aren’t going to solve any problems nor make any
definite improvements in the state of things, but your prayers
are! Prayer is the only thing that is going to enable you to partake
of My nature and grace to be able to handle these challenges
you’re facing the way I would have handled them.
566 _________________________________________________
You can always be assured that I’m with you.
I don’t blame you for getting mad at a System that’s even more
corrupt, much more chaotic, confusing and wicked than it was in
My day, although it’s basically the same spiritual forces behind it
now as then.
It’s the spiritual forces behind those people you’re actually
having to deal with, more than the people themselves.
By focusing your attention and power on the spiritual side of
things, you’re addressing the real culprits and powers behind the
scenes…
The people they use are often only instruments in their hand,
often ignorant of what they’re really doing. And you can only
disarm them by focusing the power on the forces that energize
them, the spirits that empower them, by challenging them and
commanding them in My name and in the name of the power of
the keys to shut up and be quiet. You can bind and tie their
hands and paralyze them, stop them from continuing their work
in that certain area they’re exerting their influence over.
You’re going to have to learn to address the powers behind those
people of which they are really often only victims.
They really often don’t know any better. Of course, the problem
with some is, they think they know better, or think they know
anything at all, and refuse to realize just how blinded and
deceived they are. They cling to their deception with all their
might, because it’s really all they’ve got.
Just as you are dependent on My strength and input, so they are
dependent on their demons that guide them and empower them.
So, the best thing you can do is to command those demons to
shut up.
Let it strengthen your spirit and character to just be out there
facing certain truths and battles on your own with nothing and no
one else to rely on but Me, and let Me prove to you that I’ll be
more than sufficient for you, as I have been for Paul and others
of My voices and prophets who fought some of their battles
single-handedly with only limited support from others.
Let Me prove to you that I’m more than enough. Let your strength
be in Me and Me alone, and allow Me to prove to you – and
through you to the world – that I am sufficient for anyone, and all
you really need.
567 _________________________________________________
Refusal to deal with one’s own blame is probably the most
widespread and most common spiritual disease… The pride to
refuse to reckon with one’s own mistakes, sins and faults… The
Pharisee syndrome…
Prayer will have an influence on things to turn for the better, but
often the prayers won’t even be aimed at the area they’re most
needed, if a problem isn’t being recognized.
It’s good you recognize the potential hazards, so that you can
pray for them never to happen or come to pass, or, if they already
started to happen, for them to stop.
Give Me the credit for every breath and step you take, and for
every day of life that you get through. Every day you manage to
really make it together as a team, give Me the glory for it. Praise
Me for it, because it’s something that you should not be taking
for granted anymore than the fact that everything stays put and
in orbit both in the universe, and that things keep functioning the
way they are.
Don’t be like those who refuse to give Me any credit for it all and
instead take it all for granted, turning My beautiful creation into a
garbage heap. I’m going to return soon to reclaim what is Mine,
and I will dispose of them and put them on My garbage heap, and
there will be wailing and gnashing of teeth!
You’ve got to see the trouble before it happens in order to
prevent it, and only the trained eye can see it.
In order to prevent storms from wreaking the most possible
damage, you need unity and communication, and the doors must
be open for and exchange of information to take place. The worst
thing to have is an “I already know it all” attitude, insisting that
everybody should see it their way. That is no way to prevent
trouble, but the way to cause trouble…
That’s the trouble the Pharisees brought upon themselves and
their nation, and that’s the kind of trouble the whole world is
bringing upon itself because of their refusal to see and deal with
their own evil and do what they can to prevent it…
It’s the most natural and common thing in the world,
unfortunately, but it’s still not a good thing. Evil has got to be
recognized and dealt with. The worst thing you can do is to
ignore it.
568 _________________________________________________
Things are usually not as bad as they seem to you, and a lot “stars” have the power to change My mind on certain issues,
does depend on whether you’re going to take on the attitude of they just have to have the faith and the courage to try it – and, of
“all is well” (2Kings 4:26), even in the face of calamities, or not. course, a good alternative plan.
My Word is a solver of any problem you may encounter, a
changer of any circumstance you may find yourself in, the great
alterer of conditions.
The Word is the great magic wand by which I do all My work. I
speak and I make it happen – the change, the miracle, the
healing, the revelation that will change your mindset, whatever is
needed in any given situation. Where there was nothing but
emptiness, I use it to fill it, and whole worlds appear where
before there was merely a void, light enters where before there
was darkness, and lots of life is suddenly happening where
formerly there was just dark emptiness.
The more you flow with My flow, the more My power in you will
grow… It’s like a river. What started out as a little trickle
somewhere in some remote mountainous region, is being filled
and fed by another trickle here and there, each growing into
bigger brooks and rivers, gradually, and they connect at some
point, only to make My main instrument and major channel even
bigger, wider, larger, and an even greater source and bringer of
life than before…
Sometimes it takes a while until one river flows into another, but
eventually, they all wind up in the same big pool, the sea…
The Enemy can never do anything to stop Me. He may try to get
you upset, try to get your attention by the damage he can cause
you, like a traitor; you watch him recruit more traitors working for
his cause, potentially causing more damage from within, and you
wonder, “When is this going to stop?” and how much power am I
yet going to grant him to infiltrate, divert, pervert and convert My
own…
People are always awed and shocked by My apparent, deliberate
powerlessness. They can’t quite figure how God could have
allowed His own Son to be crucified, executed like a criminal.
That doesn’t seem like a very God-like thing to do. After all, if
you’re all-powerful, you’d use your powers to prevent that sort of
atrocity from happening, right?
Only those who dig a little deeper, who care to cast more than
just a superficial glance at what is happening, they catch a
glimpse of the mystery and magic that’s really happening, the
mystery of the paradox, and unexpected, as opposed to the
usual, obvious humdrum, like so many of those Hollywood movie
plots that make you foresee what’s going to happen next.
I want My story to turn out a bit better than the average. I want My
picture to be the best. I may allow it to look less than promising
for a while to give the competitors a chance, but in the end, it will
turn out just like with that river: all those resources will flow into
the same great Source of everything, and will contribute to one
common good. Oh, the credits will be handed to each individual
involved, and even the Devil will be accredited with his part of the
greatest culprit of all times, but just like some of those
participants in those film or TV productions, a lot of those folks
know to whom credit is due, and that when it all comes down to
it, nothing would have happened without the Director.
Sometimes folks may be prematurely tempted to wonder, “Why
does He allow this to happen now?” or that turn of events, and
they figure they wouldn’t have done it that way, they would have
done it better.
It’s not like I won’t listen to your suggestions and petitions, and
that I won’t change My mind about things if I definitely am
convinced and persuaded that you had a better idea, or even to
give it a try, but most of the times you’ll find that My original
choices are usually the best.
Life is like a great, interactive motion picture, and I allow My
actors to change the script somewhat as they go, just like some
highly respected and well-known actors are able to build in their
little spontaneous changes into the script. My prophets and
I like constructive criticism with good, constructive and
productive alternative suggestions. They’re always welcome
among the flood of the usual complaints.
We have our little “suggestions box” called prayer, and if there’s
anything you’d like to change, just let Me know! You can alter the
final outcome of the Big Picture by your personal input. If there’s
anything you’d like to change or try out, say so.
I work in teamwork, and I’m open to constructive suggestions
from those whom I can trust to come forth with such, who are
mature and well enough on My wavelength that I can trust that
they genuinely seek the interest of the best possible outcome of
the Picture, not just a more glamorous role or position for
themselves…
I grant and distribute My Power and authority to My servants and
handmaidens. You can each become partakers of My Power,
wielders of that power, and, after all, it is through you that I do My
visible work on earth; through you, the actors, that I convey My
ideas and My mind to the people, the audience, who each
become participants in the Big Picture, according to their
choices…

You’ve got something special: an intimate relationship with
Me, just as I had an intimate relationship with My Father. While
others are spending their time and energy on relationships with
people on their same level, (and it’s not as if they never had any
problems with theirs, either), you have a special relationship with
Someone Who can lift you to a higher level altogether.
Naturally, folks will resent that.
What they really hated about Me, and what they couldn’t pinpoint
or figure out, what they were most jealous and envious of and
bitter about, was My relationship with the Father. If the Father is
the totally Other, He’s the Light that they’re all scared spitless of
in their darkness, and He was the ingredient about Me, the one
Factor that bothered them most, just like it’s your relationship
with Me that people most resent about you.

You’re weird enough as you are already, they figure, but that
“Jesus-business” just about takes the cake, as far as they’re
concerned.
But you have to look at it from a positive side: things could get
worse.
They certainly have gotten a lot worse in Israel since My day, and
the popularity and relative freedom I enjoyed in that country for
the three years of My public ministry probably wouldn’t last three
days nowadays…
So, cheer up, things could be worse, and they will be worse, too,
but why not enjoy things not being worse yet, while you can?
That may sound very simple, but some of the answers in life are
simple, and I just would like you to enjoy it all you can. You’ve
got to count your blessings. You’ve got to take to heart how well I
am providing for you, protecting you, and make it possible for
you to enjoy life, so that a confidence will be built up through this
lasting experience that will strengthen you for the not-so-
pleasant days ahead, of which your heart will say, “I have no
pleasure in them.”
Things keep getting worse all the time, but isn’t it wonderful how
well I am providing for you and supplying all your needs in spite
of it all?
You looked for a way out, and I provided it for you. I made a way
of escape for you, as I promised, and I always will. I never
allowed things to become more than you were able to bear. Isn’t
that something to be grateful for and to appreciate?
Isn’t that something about which you ought to let some of your
joy spill over onto your fellowmen? Let them know that there is a
God Who loves and cares for you, and for them, too! Your heart
ought to be running over with gratefulness for all that I’ve done
for you. And yet, you often still only see the hole in the donut.
No wonder they are envious of you! They envy you for your
freedom, for your courage, your faith…
They figure you’ve got all of that, and on top of it, you’ve even
got peace with God, and a loving relationship with Him and a
measure of faith that most of them could only dream of.
relationship with Me is established, can you also really and
successfully love others the way you should and the way they
ought to be loved.
You want a relationship that’s more from the heart? I’ll be your
best Teacher! Come to Me, and I’ll teach you how to love from the
heart!
It takes time to grow a working and fruitful relationship, and care
and nourishment, just as it does with any other growing, living
thing… You’ve got to nurture it, feed it, invest in it, give of your
time and substance to it, except that “it,” in this case, is not a
thing, but actual, living people and human beings with eternal
souls and spirits, just like yours. That’s the meaning behind
“love your neighbor as thyself:” realize that they are the same as
you and deserve and need the same kind of love and affection
and attention and care as you would want for yourself. Show the
sort of interest in them that you would like for them to show you!
Do unto them as you would have them do unto you.

The Devil and his people are best at the art of creating lies
and making them seem so real that the majority of people will
accept them as facts.
Just about in every stratum of society, My counsel applies,
“Enter in at the straight gate, for straight is the gate and narrow

The majority usually trots down the path that seemeth right unto
a man, but the ends thereof are the ways of death.

What you represent to them is the end of their dream, their

well established or deeply anchored in the Matrix don’t like folks
telling them it’s all an illusion and a lie.

They have chosen: the temporal over the eternal; the god of this
world over Me; temporal riches over eternal, lasting rewards,
materialism over love, the fake over the Real Thing.
What matters to them is the material path, and so they judge by
material criteria.

That’s what they hated about Me. I was a living monument to the
fact that they had been placing their bet on a lie, a loser, and
building their lives on a fake foundation. The more established
their lives were on that foundation, the more satisfied they were
with their fake and their lie, the more they resented Me. Only
those who at the core of their hearts were dissatisfied with that
game, with the Matrix, they were ready to let go of it all and follow
Me or at least hinge their faith on Me.

People have needs that they want fulfilled, and that they
expect other humans to cater to. The problem often is that
because they fail to recognize and fully appreciate Me as the sole
capable Candidate to live up to their expectations, they’re
hauling in more and more disappointments from their fellow
humans, who simply can’t.
That’s one reason why I have made you all so imperfect: so that
it would be more obvious for each of you that other human
beings simply won’t be capable of fulfilling your every need and
desire, your longings for happiness, etc.; but only few seem to
grasp the point and continue to have unrealistic expectations
from their fellows.
What you can do is continue to point them toward Me by being a
faithful witness of the fact that I can and do satisfy, as well as
trying your best to be a living sample of that truth and fact, one
by which they can tell and see that you’re speaking the truth.
One sure way to do that is by putting your entire hopes and trust
in Me. First of all, by doing so, you’ll reduce the risk of making
others feel bad about their failure to satisfy you completely, and
secondly, you won’t feel all too guilty yourself about your
inability to do the same for them. After all, you weren’t made for
that job, since it’s solely Mine.
A lot of people in this world are making the mistake of trying to
do the job that has been reserved for Me. They’re trying to be the
all-in-all to the person they love and wind up frustrated over their
impotence to fully live up to that job, or they wind up frustrated
over their efforts to change, improve or save the world single-
handedly.
They call such people “too good for this world,” and while that is
true in some sense, in another, the problem is that they weren’t
smart enough to avail themselves of My strength, which could
have really helped them to make a difference.
You can never completely satisfy each other or make each other
totally happy. And changes of circumstances alone wouldn’t do
it, either. You figure if he or she were different and would change
this or that negative quality about them, then things would be
fine, and you’d finally be happy.
But the truth is, I’m allowing each of you to be only less than
perfect for each other in order for you to get the point that only I
can truly satisfy your deepest yearning and need.
And you’ve got to let Me do My job and fulfill that need, if you
want to live together harmoniously and in a fruitful relationship.
Allow Me to love you and you’ll love Me in return, and will be able
to love others the way you should as a result.
Quit trying to do it all yourself and ask Me for help on how to do
it.

The Devil likes to build all sorts of mythologies around
himself. He’s the big pretender, and he’ll pretend to be anything
just in order to deceive and appeal to anyone, similar to the way
presidential candidates make promises to certain groups of
interest, howbeit not with any serious intentions of ever keeping
them.
The one thing you can always trust the Devil for is that he’s a liar
and a pretender. He simply doesn’t have a knack for the truth,
even though he may go around “exposing” Me and My people for
our “sins,” all the while busily covering his own filthy tracks. He
is also the epitome of self-righteousness and hypocrisy. Woe
unto those who have him for their god.
I want you to preach the Gospel and tell people about Me: in
order to free them from their servitude, slavery and bond-ship to
this false, evil god and usurper.
If you follow his philosophy, you’re sunk, and instead of Heaven,
you’ll reap hell.
580 _________________________________________________
I treat you according to the way I know you really are, which
sometimes differs from the romantic ideas you have about
yourself, and I give you what I know you really can handle, not
what you think you can.
You have this idea about yourself of wanting to give of your own
incentive, but when it comes to giving what I demand from you at
any given moment, it’s a lot harder on you, and your first
tendency is to feel offended and hurt, shocked about what is
being asked of you.
But that’s how war is. You don’t just get up in the morning and
wink at yourself in the mirror while you brush your teeth and
have your coffee, and say, “Well, I’m feeling fine today, so I think
I’m going to have me a wee little battle of sorts…” The battle
breaks out upon you unexpectedly, and all hell may break loose,
and you will just wish you’ll be ready for it, ready to let
everything else go at a moment’s notice.
Your fellow soldiers are hearing their call to battle, and the worst
thing you could do is to get offended and fail to give them your
support.
They need to know is that they’ll have your unswerving support,
and that you won’t be like a flag in the wind, deserting them at
the first sign of trouble.
The storm is sweeping parts of the world already, and it would be
foolish to assume that it might never hit your shores.

Self-satisfaction is a real stopper and blocker when it comes to

Your sins are a temporal matter, and I look at the eternal.
Authentic identity always creates good behavior, but good
behavior does not always create authentic identity.
Once you know that I have loved and created you the way you
are, and will always love you unconditionally, then you’ll also be
able to improve your behavior accordingly.
Man-pleasing is a very popular religion among young people.
The Devil figured that some folks just can’t be fooled into
worshiping things, so what is the next-best thing, right after Me,

People. So, he’s got hordes of folks bending over backwards
trying to make it right for their peers, worshiping their opinions,
and their approval, their reaction to them, basically, their own
image reflected and found in others. It means more to them than
anything else.
And it’s a very “natural” thing, too, but you know how the natural
man is at enmity with God. Living to please others is a death trap,
and a poor counterfeit of living to please Me.
Don’t be surprised if some folks who did “less good” will actually
wind up closer to Me in Heaven than some of those perpetual do-
gooders.
What people call doing good, might – as in so many other cases
– differ from what I call doing good.
My greatest desire is for My children to love Me, and while loving
your neighbor, is just about the same, if you leave Me out of the
picture, you might miss the best possible way in which that love
for others could be manifested.

That’s part of the great paradox, that even though God knew
all about the sinful state of the world and about what was in
men’s hearts, yet He “loved the world so much that He gave His
only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not
perish, but have everlasting life.”
The Father has so much love that He even gave them Me, the
One He loved above all, and allowed Me to cross the one barrier
which men consider to be the final, ultimate barrier, death, only
to prove that it is possible to overcome it, that death is not a final
thing, as some believe and teach, but that love is stronger than
death.
The wages of the sin the Devil brought into the world with man’s
help was death, but He was now going to overrule that with the
gift of eternal life. It’s all grace. It’s all by grace. Once you enjoy
His grace and become a partaker of His grace, then you can also
be gracious to others, and you don’t have to be nitpicking at their
faults anymore, or be stingy with your affection toward them…
You can just love in spite of, for that is what grace does.
Grace loves in spite of - undeservedly and for no special merit.

Don’t let your life be directed by whims.
Perhaps I’ve been making things a bit too easy on you and have
been letting you get ahold of My Spirit too easily so that you’ve
been starting to take it for granted. Maybe I’ve got to let you
wrestle a little bit harder again until you get ahold of Me, My
voice, My wavelength, so that you will appreciate it a bit more
again…
Who likes to be taken for granted?
Usually this kind of familiarity only stops when the thing you’re
taking for granted is being taken away from you.

Maturity begins where the process of dealing with your wrongs
sets in, and with some it happens sooner, with others it happens
later. The good news is, it’s never too late.
You cannot make any prescribed pattern the standard for all.
Everyone experiences Salvation in their own way. You cannot

them to make their own experiences.
It’s painful to watch them go down that road, which you know is
going to lead them to greater pain, but that’s where you’ve got to
trust that in spite of the looks of it and the vastness of the pain
you see impending, that I will nevertheless get a greater victory
from it and My plan and purpose will not be defeated.

People’s unwillingness and incapability to cope with the
truth is something you’re going to have to learn more about, deal
with, and find ways to bring the truth home to people, even if
that’s the one thing they reject.
It’s like working on a cure for cancer. And whether you or they
believe it or not, we’re looking for something more important
here than a cure for cancer, and you have only just begun to
recognize the problem.
The problem is certain people’s unwillingness and refusal to
recognize any problem at all about themselves.
The refusal to recognize anything wrong at all is the only way
they can manage to cope with their faulty world.
Most of the problems in the world are being caused by people’s
preference of their own “truth” over what really is the objective
truth.
It takes a sharp, close and intricate analysis of your people, to
figure out and determine what it is they really need, and one
cannot be scared of the truth and some not-so-pretty details.
It certainly doesn’t help to close their eyes to any NWOs.
Sometimes I choose what could be deemed an unfruitful
situation for someone, because the lessons to be gleaned from it
are more important to Me than any fruit that could be gained in
another situation, or by changing it.
595 _________________________________________________
There’s no use shifting you to a more favorable position.
First we’ve got to cleanse you from rotten and spoiled attitudes,
and a little bit of hardship might be just what you need.
I care for you whether you’re good or bad, just like you keep
feeding your child regardless of whether he’s good or bad… It’s
just some thing parents do: care for their off-spring, regardless.
But whether we’re pleased with our off-spring is another
question. We may love them unconditionally, but we’re not
always necessarily happy about what they do and the way they
act and behave…
To make a difference for Me and be a positive force for good in
this world, and not go the way of all flesh & drift down the stream
of personal desire requires discipline and sacrifice. You cannot
just allow yourself to be pampered like a baby and still think
you’re being a revolutionary Christian!
You’ve been talking about the way kids are these days, but
maybe you’re not all that much better yourself. Maybe it’s not
just limited to kids, this sign of the times that folks seem to have
become more and more enwrapped in themselves and their own
little world consisting of their own personal interests…
With kids it may be more obvious because of the noisy way they
go about it, but perhaps they’re just picking up something from
the adults around them, and taking it to perfection.
If you want the world to be less selfish, why not make the first
move and give them a sample of what you’re talking about? Until
then, it’s easy to just point your finger at others.
596 _________________________________________________
Stay real close to Me, plugged in to My Power, not straying
away with your distractions and toys.
Soon constant vigilance will be required, a constant state of
being attuned to My voice and Spirit, no more strayings from the
straight and narrow.
The time is coming when all the lessons I’ve been trying to teach
you should be learned, and there won’t be any more trial and
error phases. You must get the point and put into practice what
you’re learning and remain on My track.
The Devil chose this time of technological advances to make his
big appearance and reveal himself to the world, a time during
which man is showing the ultimate of his strength, wit,
achievements and knowledge.
It makes Me and My life seem more irrelevant, more distant, more
humble and smaller, less impressive to those who are carnal
minded, compared to all the “great achievements” of man and
the supposed “progress” he has made scientifically, socially and
in the ways he’s making his presence on the planet seen.
Man has become “somebody,” and it’s in that kind of
environment that the Enemy would like to present himself as the
greatest “somebody” of all. He wouldn’t have been satisfied with
being a relative “nobody” like Me, preaching to and caring for a
bunch of primitive people, comparatively speaking. He likes the
kind of pompous ado that you and I never had a knack for.
“Loud & proud” is the name of his game. He comes across loud
and proud, making an awful noise that’s sure to catch
everybody’s attention and will distract them from My still voice,
but he will also subtly orchestrate some movement behind your
back to eliminate you if you threaten to stand in his way. That’s
why your only hope is to stay close to Me, always attentive for
My checks, My nudges, My hints and My counsel, because only I
can let you in on what he’s up to in your life. You could never
figure it out yourself.
He’s trying to discourage you and get you to quit and give up
through the battles he brings on in your life. They’re real attacks,
and not just staged tests to keep you humble or desperate. I
allow them, but it’s not as if I orchestrate them. I am not the One
Who leads you into temptation. I’m the One Who leads you
through it when it hits you, and helps you come out alright at the
other end. You’ve got to be sure that I’m the One Who’s on your
side.
The Enemy is telling you that I couldn’t possibly love you if I’m
allowing what he does to you, but it just shows the atrocity of his
attitude: “You see, God couldn’t love you, if He allows me to be
so mean and cruel to you and make you go through all these
trials…” In other words, he’s saying, “If God were prefect, He
wouldn’t have made me like this.” But as I told you before, you
become the way you are by means of your own choices. You do
the things you do because you choose to do them, not because I
make you do them.

I’ve been advocating inward changes all along.
Just transporting you across the ocean isn’t going to make a
missionary, or a better or happier person out of you.
Real and lasting happiness is only found in Me and in the center
of My will for you.
Life can be fun, thrilling and exciting; it doesn’t have to be

600 _________________________________________________
I’m trying to get you to acknowledge that you need each
other in some aspects, and that you are dependent on each
other. After all, that’s what community, communal life, living
together, and any relationship is simply about. People need each
other. Of course, I wouldn’t want you to depend on anybody more
than on Me, but it won’t really work either to say, “I just depend
on the Lord & don’t need anybody else.” It is through other
people, after all, that I supply your needs, including that for
company, even if you may have encountered many thorns on that
rose lately. Better a rose with thorns than no rose at all, right?
Even some of My most solitary heroes didn’t completely live on
their own. Elijah did spend time with Me on his own in the
wilderness, but then he also interacted with others, recruited
Elisha as a disciple, etc; John the Baptist had his disciples, and
even Enoch enjoyed company other than Mine at times,
otherwise nobody would have noticed that he’d gone missing
when he “walked with Me and wasn’t found,” right?
Sometimes I give you special times of solitude, just like I also
needed and enjoyed during My earthly life, but these also serve
to make you appreciate more the company of your loved ones
again once you’re back from the desert or mountain.
Sometimes your brain can absorb things better and focus better
when there are no other noises and vibes from others to distract
you, and that’s okay. I cherish these times when you can just
tune in and focus on Me, free of distractions. But then other
people aren’t necessarily your only distraction.
Other things distract you from Me, too
It’s good and within My perfect will for you to recognize how
much you need others, and learn to appreciate those I have put
at your side.
Life is all about learning to appreciate what I’m giving you; most
of all the people I have given you to live with and to learn to
cherish. The problem with Adam and Even was – and pretty
much every other human since - that they weren’t completely
satisfied and happy with what they had, as perfect as it was, and
that instead they craved something else in addition to My
goodness, and that’s what this daily life is all about: learning to
eschew the temptations from the good I’m handing you.
601 _________________________________________________
There definitely is a huge difference between you (the
Family) and the rest of Christianity, which actually resembles just
another part of the System.
The vast majority of Christians are like a herd of dumb sheep
who don’t have a clue at all as to what is going on, that they’re
being led straight into the arms of the AC, and to their doom.
They resent voices critical of their king, just as they have always
resented and rejected the voices of My prophets of doom
throughout history.
The vast majority of people follow their leader like dumb sheep
just because he happens to be their leader and they happen to be
the sheep.
The masses yield to authority and follow the men in charge,
regardless of where they’re headed.
Speaking up does have its implications, such as the type John
the Baptist found out about.
As in everything, there’s a good and just balance to be found in
this, which I’m teaching you to find by feeling out: “How far can I
safely go?”
Most people are more security oriented than you. They’re more
concerned about preserving what they’ve got.
“Freedom’s just another word for ‘nothing left to lose’” also
includes the freedom and courage to speak up about certain
issues that others wouldn’t. But remember that you’re living in
evil times, and that availing yourself of that freedom of speech
might wind up costing you your freedom and liberties
altogether…
602 _________________________________________________
It’s natural and very common for everyone to see the thing
that they’ve got going as the thing going, and they can’t really
comprehend people who hesitate to jump on their bandwagon.
You wonder, “Why isn’t everybody gung ho about this, my
project?” Well, because maybe I’m doing something else in their
lives…
They’re excited about something else.
They simply don’t get as turned on and excited about the things
your world revolves around, just as you can’t get as excited
about other people’s current big things, because a number of
factors have led each of you to set different priorities, goals and
interests in your lives. While it would be great if everyone would
get behind the same bandwagon and push on one hand, because
there is a lot of wonderful energy that’s being created by a bunch
of people working together on a same project, on the other, I
wouldn’t want to set all My money on the same horse. I like to
spread out a little more.
It’s like you don’t put one pile of salt on one corner of your food,
but you distribute it equally with a salt shaker…
Everybody has this natural tendency to consider what they know
and what they’ve learned to be it. Listening doesn’t come easy to
anyone.
One can’t really shepherd anyone else effectively without
knowing them at all, or at least having heard them out to an
extent.
Some people are so sure of their channel, they forget and discard
everything else. Sometimes they get a picture in their minds, and
they insist that it must be some kind of big revelation, but it can
cause problems when they’re not open for the Spirit’s
interpretation of that revelation or picture.
Leaders often figure they’re the leader, so they are the ones who
ought to know everything and be teaching you, and that’s it.
Peacemakers usually don’t insist on being the ones who know it
all, but can also hear the other side out and be open enough to
learn from anyone, leader or not.
Leaders are often the ones who have most to learn (– after all,
they’re the ones who have been leading this world into the mess
that it is –) but then they hardly ever take time for that, unless, of
course, another, even higher leader above them summons them
to some kind of workshop or seminary, and tells them now it’s
time for them to learn something…
Leaders are often unfortunately those who seem to have come to
the conclusion that there is nothing left to learn, or they stopped
learning, sometimes simply because they’re too busy teaching
and instructing everyone else.
They see things from their point of view. Coming over to see the
other, lower side of the elephant is something that would require
a big change in their thinking, when they figure it’s their job to
change everyone else’s way of thinking to come and see their
side.
Spiritual people or people with a spiritual gift sometimes have
difficulties accepting the fact that other people, possibly from
lower leadership strata than they, could be on a higher spiritual
level. It doesn’t occur to them, just as the Pharisees never would
have even considered the possibility that I may have been on a
spiritual level above theirs. They thought they were the cream of
the crop.
People like that want to give you spiritual aid and guidance, but
only on their terms. They don’t really come down to hear you out
to share your point of view of things, so their counsel is
unfortunately only half as useful as it could be if they would take
the time to hear their charges out.
Certain people or types of music give you the creeps, while
others find them enjoyable. You’ve got to make room for some
acceptance and tolerance of other people’s wavelengths and
preferences.
Some people have great ambitions for their future, and they trust
that their energy will take them far. But sometimes the years go
by, and slowly that energy peters out, because it turns out that
the spiritual ingredient of that energy wasn’t as significant as
they thought. There wasn’t enough Spirit in it, after all, and it
seems to have been powered and steered by their own flesh too
much to bring about the big revolutions and cataclysmic
changes they thought they were going to be instrumental in.
Their project is always the most important to them. So, be aware
that you might be prone to making the same mistake, and
remember this next time you feel disappointment about the lack
of others’ enthusiasm for your project.
Many be called, but the chosen are few who choose to employ
their energies to what is truly My Cause, and even when they do,
it takes a long time to learn how to do it properly.
All in all people are fairly prone to relying on their own carnal
minds these days, and even spiritually minded people aren’t
immune to that.
It’s easy to think you’re doing alright when you’re right in the
mainstream and you have some sort of a position. You don’t
need to check whether you’re doing alright or off the track in any
aspect, you simply “know” it.
The truth is, nobody is 100% “on track” all the time, otherwise
they simply wouldn’t be human, and those who don’t check
whether they’re really doing alright are in greater danger of
straying than those who they constantly nudge to make sure they
stay on the straight & narrow.
603 _________________________________________________
“My strength is sufficient for thee” is like saying, you don’t
need your own, physical strength anymore! Don’t try to run in
your own little strength, on your own battery power, but you can
rely fully on Me and on My strength. That’s enough, that’s all you
need. I promise. Just believe it!
But you need to let go of the old one first. It’s like switching from
battery power to current power. You have to plug in My cable.
Remember not to make the frame more fancy than the picture
Just as you had to learn how to use a PA effectively, that’s how itself. Allow the Big Picture to steal the show, and don’t allow

amplify your voice, effectiveness and usefulness for Me, in order
to bring the message across more clearly, in a more powerful
way. When you were playing “unplugged” there wasn’t enough
power and volume. But you can sure make’em dance when
you’re plugged in, right?
Let Me teach you how to use the amplification of My Spirit.
Trust that My strength is enough for you, you can totally rely on
it! I will provide for you, I will carry you, I will empower you, move
you forward when you can’t do it anymore in your own strength.
There was a time when your own strength was sufficient, but that
time is running out now, it’s going to be over soon. Soon you’ll
only be able to operate in My strength. But see it not as a loss,
for what you gain is so much more and so far beyond that which
you need to let go and forsake. See it like an upgrade, a
promotion, a powerful innovation that revolutionizes everything.
Plugged in to Me, you are strong, because then we are together,
and it’s not you functioning on your own anymore, as a separate
little entity, but you’re plugged in to My circuit, a part of My
gigantic, universal network, the network of My “single spoken
sentence,” (“uni-verse”) where I utter a phrase and it is done, My
creation magic.
Others who are already more used to operating in My strength
instead their own, see you struggle so needlessly, your efforts
and energies invested in making it on your own, when it could be
so much easier for you, so much more enjoyable.
You’re trying to be good in your own strength, but that strength
isn’t sufficient for you. You need Mine, and let that be enough for
you.
You’re only going to be able to teach and show others how to
avail themselves of My strength and power, if you become a
sample first of how it works.
So far, it’s like you’ve been using My strength to recharge your
own battery, but I need you to learn to stay plugged in to My
power and operate in My power.
604 _________________________________________________
Open your spiritual eyes and ears in a new, different way.
There is yet more to hear and see, there is yet a much larger
scope to discover in the spirit.
There are different ways of knowing than with your head.
Knowledge from the head is often critical, sometimes negative,
and can also simply be equivocal. You can be quite wrong about
some things.
Whereas that which is truly of My Spirit is always bathed in and
engendering love.
Love is like the zero behind the other nine gifts- You add that
love factor and you multiply your gift by ten.
Love is not something that is acquired via knowledge from the
head.
Open your heart, your spirit to Mine, and let Me fill it with good
and supernatural things that you can’t explain or figure out with
your brain, but that are going to spur you on to action!
There’s more to you than your mind. I want you to open up your
whole being unto Me and love Me with all your heart and soul,
too, not just with your mind!
When you’re being so busy, efficient and productive in your own
energy, you neglect that “bride” energy, and become more
mentally focused than “wholly” focused.
Remember? “Holy: Wholly His, in mind, body and spirit.”
Wait on Me and on My Spirit to reveal to you how things really
are.
The greater weight has to be the supernatural side, My Spirit.
Your mind ought to merely be the vessel that captures it.

You like the spiritual puzzle of putting all the pieces of the Big
Picture together into one comprehensible frame.
Try to not over-employ your head in search for the missing
pieces, but let Me guide you intuitively. Learn how to hear and
listen with your spiritual senses, and think deeper than just with
the mind. Know deeper than just with the head. And most of all,
in it all, love, for without love it’s all reduced to but a fraction of
its true and full potential.
Don’t reduce all that you give to Me – for that is what your life will
consist of in the end: what you’ve given to Me – to 10% of what it
could have been! Keep hanging that zero of love behind
everything you do, say and know, wash all your thoughts, words
and deeds in love, and thus allow it all to reach its full potential!
605 _________________________________________________
The big regrets that people experience when they get Here,
are not in the great and mighty things they might have achieved
and done through works they never accomplished, but all that
they could have changed by the simple little task of prayer.
The greatest loss that believers realize retrospectively upon
reviewing their lives at their arrival in the Spirit World, is all that
they failed to change because they underestimated and
neglected the power of prayer.
While others, who hadn’t thought of themselves very highly
during their earthly lives, and thought their lives hadn’t
amounted to much of anything, are surprised at the extent to
which their prayers did have an impact on things. They actually
changed the world without knowing to what extent.
Upholding the ones you love and I have placed in your care in
prayer, and thus joining them in their personal fights and
everyday battles in the spirit, is in My eyes one of the best things
you can do with your life.
It shows that you’ve really got faith in Me and My Spirit World,
more than the physical, and you put more emphasis on it than
whatever you might be able to accomplish in the flesh and in
your own little efforts.
Millions of fathers are so preoccupied with their careers and
accomplishments, that they neglect spending time with the ones
they claim they’re doing it all for. They invest their energies and
time in “being good providers,” but neglect the very ones they
are providing for …
A lot of people are accomplishment junkies, and they’ve just got
to “do something” in order to feel worth anything, when in fact
sometimes the people around them would just wish for them to
“be there” for them. What you’ll amount to is not so much in
what you’ve done, as how you’ve done it, in what spirit, whether
people will have good, positive and loving memories of you while
you were “doing it,” or whether you caused them pain by
neglecting them in all your feverish “doing it.”
Yes, faith without works is dead, but works without love are
dead, too. At least as far as those around you are concerned who
you are neglecting on behalf of your works. They’d rather have a
little bit of your love, instead of your works.
What are your motivation and incentive for doing great works?
You want to make a name for yourself, you want to be
remembered, admired, etc. Whereas just being there for others
means forgetting about yourself and just being there for them.
It’s those very accomplishments that minister to your pride and
make you harder to get along with, unwieldy and unyielding,
unavailable, and “too important” to be bothered with “little
things” such as the everyday affairs of family life…
The price of being a “great accomplisher” is often that of a father
whose children say, “He was never there for me.” The price of
whatever you accomplished was your absence from their lives.
Now, it’s one thing if what you’re accomplishing is really winning
souls and bearing fruit for Me, but if it’s just sort of done in
pursuit of making a name for yourself…

Make it a rule to keep your life, your mind, your heart open
for your loved ones, no matter what it is you do.
Be there completely when you greet and welcome them. Don’t
treat them like 2nd class citizens.
You have to make a conscious effort to keep people above your
projects you’re working on.
People are what it’s all about.
It’s a matter of dedicating your life more to people, more to love,
more actually becoming involved in the art of loving.
If you become primarily a lover of people, then you will learn to
say the right kind of words, and to deliver your message in a
loving way, and you won’t make anyone feel hurt or left out or
locked out. They’ll know that you’re alright with them, and not
mad at them or against them in some way.
Unless your project will have that warm “people ingredient,” it
won’t really touch people. It may be inspired and brilliant and
everything, but unless it has that taste and warmth and smell that
comes from rubbing your shoulders with people and getting
close to them, most folks won’t be able to relate to it, simply
because they may not be that spiritually minded. They need a
more flesh and blood oriented gospel.
You cannot allow your unrealistic expectations to separate you
from people.
607 _________________________________________________
Everytime you correct a child, or anyone for that matter, it’s
really a token of love (Heb.12:6), as opposed to lazily just letting
them do as they please and ignoring the matter.
It’s the sacrifice of love that you make in order to help them do
better and the one part you can do in order to change the
situation for the better and correct it. That’s what correction
amounts to: situation improvement. By approaching certain
people on the possibility of improving their behavior, you’re
ultimately improving your situation.
If you refuse to do it, the situation remains the same, or might
possibly get worse, and it proves you’re not much of a leader,
shepherd or parent, and basically shows a pitiful lack of
conviction and courage.
608 _________________________________________________
One factor that determines what you receive from Me, or how
much, is your desperation, the strength of the vacuum you create
in your heart for Me, in other words, how much you really want
and need to hear from Me.
When you truly need Me, I’ll always be there for you. Nothing is
going to change about that.

You’re still so preoccupied with the things of this world. You
don’t see things yet from a spiritual viewpoint. You want to get
out of there, but then you’re not nearly as prepared for coming
Here as you sometimes think. You’re still mainly looking at the
symptoms and allowing them to affect you; you’re not looking at,
much less dealing with the causes.
If you’re allowing carnal ways of thinking to rule your day, then
carnal words will come out of your mouth, and if you sow to the
flesh, you will also reap the corruption of the flesh. If you adapt
to the nonsensical talk of the world, don’t be surprised if you’re
going to reap the fruits of it.
You’re trying to adapt to what you perceive as their wavelength,
but I cannot allow you to, because it is expected of you – it is
your spiritual duty – to lift and pull them up.
You were thinking in a carnal, worldly way, and thus speaking in
a worldly way, and you were not seeing the spiritual roots of
things.
610 _________________________________________________
It’s quite natural to want a scapegoat, and in this day and age
where fathers have forsaken their original God-given role of
being the “man in the house” and the leading figure of authority,
they have become a favorite scapegoat in many households,
resulting in endless amounts of separations, as it often comes to
the point where they can bear it no longer, and they move out.
Then they’ll have to live with the heap of guilt that will be put on
them for having deserted their families...
It’s all largely due to a lack of humility and willingness on behalf
of people who like to play the “victims” game, to take the blame
themselves.
It’s one of the big games of society. “I’m the victim, so you’re to
blame.”
It saves them from having to cope with their own problems and
sins, which depresses them. As long as they’ve got someone
else to blame for their misery and unhappiness, it distracts them
from their own guilt. It’s sort of a lesser evil when having to
choose between the pain of dealing with their own sins and
short-comings, and the easier option of inflicting part of the pain
on somebody else by blaming them for their misery.
It isn’t happening on a conscious level, but it’s one of the
Enemy’s carefully cloaked processes and maneuvers in the dark.
The culprit is usually – originally, as in the Garden of Eden – the
Enemy, and the way he works is to get his victims to cave in to
one of his temptations, to swallow his lie.
The Devil is always partly right about his accusations. Otherwise
nobody would ever believe him. He always uses some half-truth
as a hook or bait. The question is, are you going to take that half-
truth and swallow it, along with the lies that follow?
Usually, people do. And the result is the end of a happy, peaceful
period in paradise. The Devil just can’t stand to see people –
especially My people living together in peace and harmony, so he
constantly cooks up new devices and means of destroying that
harmony. His ticket is usually some failure on your part, or on
behalf of one of the parties involved, and if the other side
swallows his hook, his half-truth, their “ticket” to make a
mountain out of a molehill, if they choose to get offended, or
whatever, then it’s another little success for the Devil. Once again
he has managed to slow down your work for Me, your united
efforts for Me, once again he has caused another bit of wreckage.
Of course, what he doesn’t see, is that he provides ample
opportunity for you to learn from all this by doing so. Even if
people never get the lesson or the point during their life-time,
and frankly, most don’t, they will learn their lesson someday, and
I will still get the better deal out of it, and the best laugh.
In the meantime, it’s you guys who have to suffer through this
roller coaster ride of happiness lost and found. One day it’s
there, the next it’s gone, and so on. All until you finally get the
point, realize what’s going on and are mature enough to put a
stop to it and you refuse to take the Devil’s bait.
That’s how it goes in the world, and why there are all these wars
and conflicts happening. There is never one side alone to blame.
It’s an art the Enemy has taken to perfection; the art of sowing
discord and strife, of bringing war where once there was peace,
of destroying friendships and relationships and sowing hatred
where once there was love…
That’s the dark and evil side of “The Art of War.”
The “lusts that war in your members” which James exposes as
the cause of “wars and fightings among you” are not just typical
carnal lusts.
They include the desire to self-righteously feel better than the
other one, to put themselves above the other, and the craving for
that satisfaction to be able to say (or at least believe) “I’m right
and you’re wrong.”
It’s the lust for superiority or power over another that’s causing
by far the greater damage and amount of casualties, and that is
something that has barely been exposed, so this ought to be
something to ponder.
“From whence come wars and fightings among you? Come they
not hence, even of your lusts that war in your members?” The
lust to exert some kind of power over another by playing the
victim, for instance. You give them an excuse to feel victimized,
and they’ll grab it!
The lust and desire for any kind of advantage over another.
The lust to oppress another in some way, to deprive them, to
exert some form of control and power over them.
Disguising that sin under a cloak of false innocence, the “victim”
cloak is one of their principal aids.
They are the weaker ones, so they have to go about it a lot more
subtly, if they want to get some kind of advantage over you, exert
some authority, power and control over you.
And by apparently being the weaker ones, the abused, the
victims, they manage and achieve what they could never achieve
by force or evident superiority.
It’s one of the subtle machineries of the Devil that teaches his
weaker clients to help them get the better part of the deal against
the odds. That’s his way of playing Robin Hood and the
champion of the weak and downtrodden. He teaches them how to
cheat and deceive their way through life.
They could have chosen not to. They could have chosen to
refuse the Devil’s hook, line and sinker. They could have chosen
the great peace which they have that love My law.
But they didn’t. The lusts that warred in their members got the
better off them, to grab the chance for some kind of advantage.
They fell for the Devil’s temptation to play a part in his strategy,
and be instrumental in his maneuver of manipulation, in order to
gain an advantage out of it for themselves.
They can cling to their lust, that satisfaction that playing the
victim gives them forever, if that’s what they choose and want. Or
they can choose to forgive, they can choose peace.
It’s up to them whether they’re going to let that lust get the better
off them or not, that self-justification, that in the end will only
condemn themselves (Job 9:20).
Sometimes it takes a little while until the picture becomes clear
and you can define what it is that exactly happened. Once the
smoke clears and the fall-out from the battle is gone, you can re-
construct with My help what exactly happened, what maneuver
the Enemy applied, and learn from it, so you’ll be better prepared
next time.

Familiarity is a strange thing. It is one of the main factors that
destroy relationships, and yet at the same time tries to prolong
unfruitful relationships for as long as possible, since you’ve felt
so familiar with it all along, it would hurt to let it go.
The hard part about separations that most folks in relationships
dread, is making it official. Nobody wants to be the one who was
being let down, or jilted, dropped and forsaken for another one.
That hurts their pride. That’s why some couples just resolve to
letting their broken relationship quietly peter out. They still live
together, sleep in separate rooms, and people aren’t always quite
sure whether they’re still a couple or not, but it’s not really that
important. They’re still the same two people, and they often have
to stick together for reasons of convenience, or because of
children involved, etc.

626 _________________________________________________
Dependence on Me furthers obedience. Independence
promotes disobedience. Independence promotes selfishness,
because it causes you to think “I deserve this and I deserve that
because I have wrought this and that with my own hands,” and
so you pursue and chase your own happiness. Dependence on
Me knows “I deserve nothing,” and thus humbly and gratefully
accepts and yields to whatever I bring along in your life.
That’s a handful of reasons which explain why I must try to keep
you dependent on Me. Successful parents keep their kids on a
relatively short leash. They don’t allow them to do just anything
or go anywhere they like.
That’s why you were thinking, “Rich parents have good kids,” - at
least so long as those kids are materialistically inclined, because
they know that whether they will get what they want or not
depends on their obedience and attitude toward their parents.
Having to win the respect of your off-spring without the aid of
financial pressure is a lot harder, but on the other hand, the love
and affection of your children toward you will be a lot more
genuine, because you can’t really say that it’s truly genuine
respect and love if it’s based on materialism. How can something
spiritual like love be based on materialism? How could the best
force in the universe be born out of selfishness and greed? It
doesn’t work. Just as lifeless matter has never brought forth any
living thing that has a spirit, contrary to the evolutionary
magicians’ tales.
So, even if it may look as though rich or wealthy parents are
more successful in gaining their offspring’s respect, that respect
may not be truly genuine, if it is based on materialism and some
sort of bribe system: “If you’re good I’ll buy you this, if you’re
not, I won’t buy you that…”
A system of dependence is often the only way to ensure that a
son or daughter will pursue the path of obedience.
While dependence on the System is a questionable thing, you
can always be assured that dependence on Me is a good thing,
because I truly and always have nothing but the best intentions
for you in mind, and you can always be certain that whatever I
allow or don’t allow in your life is for your best.
Sometimes you have not because you ask not and have
neglected your prayer life, but usually you can assume that if you
have done all you could, whatever you have is just what you
need and should have, and anything more than that might not
necessarily be good for you.
“Better” doesn’t always mean “better paid,” more lucrative or
bigger, but better in quality, more valuable for your spiritual
growth, strength and character. – Better for your relationship, as
you get along much better during those times when you know
you need each other.
You’ve got to remember the Devil’s “Ye shall be as gods”
scheme, and recognize it in your own life. Where is he trying to
promote independence from Me in your life? What’s the area in
which you are most tempted to feel “almighty” or like you can do
it on your own and don’t need Me?
It’s a trap he usually uses with men. Women often have a harder
time at playing god, and so their substitute can be another
person they make a god out of in their lives, and put before Me,
usually a person who doesn’t have Me in the first place in their
life, either.
That’s why things begin to unravel as soon as you shift your
dependence from Me to the arm of the flesh. That’s when things
start going haywire and your world, your relationship, marriage
and family, and just about everything starts coming apart at the
seams.
In the System, independence is hailed as a virtue and as
something worthy of pursuit. My goal is to set you free. Free from
such false paradigms by giving you the deliberating truth that
you don’t have to depend on yourself for happiness and success
in life. In fact, you can pretty much forget about it, because real
happiness is found exclusively in dependence on Me.
You’re merely recognizing a widely ignored fact: that you’re all
dependent on Me for every breath of air, every ray of sunshine
and every drop of rain, and thus every bite of food to begin with,
and by recognizing that and giving honor to Whom it is due and
ceasing to rebel against that ordained system of dependence on
Me, you’re just coming back to the natural way of things, the way
they were originally intended to be.
The Enemy and his cronies are trying to deny that. They’re trying
to play god and decide who is going to get food and even
sunshine and air these days. They’re taking it upon themselves
to decide who is going to live and die, they’re usurping My role in
this game of life, and that’s why they’re going to have to be so
severely judged.
If they would have proven that they would have been respectful
of the life I have created, and if they would have been just judges
and handled their positions of power in a righteous manner,
things may have turned out differently, but because they show
that they cannot be trusted with it, since they mercilessly abuse
their power, they will have to be judged accordingly.
So, keep in mind that that’s not what you would want to be or
become like. Be mindful of the fact that you don’t have to be and
should not be envious of evildoers, and you wouldn’t want to be
like them – independent of Me and making a mess of things,
because they think they deserve to treat themselves selfishly and
lord it out over the poorer and weaker ones of the world
disrespectfully.
To disrespect My creation is to disrespect Me. They have no
respect because all they see is themselves, or the way their
selfish leaders do it, which are on Satan’s track. Ultimately, there
are only two forces and two leaders that men follow: it’s either
Me or the Enemy.
If you refuse to be too proud to admit that you’re dependent on
Me for everything, you’ll always have everything you need, plus
safety and shelter from the storms of this life, and you’ll make it
somehow.
627 _________________________________________________
You don’t give badges of honor to a soldier before he has
proven himself to be a valiant and faithful fighter on the battle
field. There are certain things one has to do in order to receive
My gifts of the Spirit.
My Spirit was poured out for the purpose of enabling My
disciples and followers to witness (Acts 1:8), so there must be a
genuine desire in someone to be a witness for Me.
The gift of prophecy is for those who need to know My will for
them in a more specific way than I have already laid down in My
Word.
Once your “boat is in motion,” and you are moving in My
direction, you will find situations in which you will need more
specific and personal advice and counsel and direction from Me,
and I will not hesitate to give it to you.
I know what each person can give, and I will reward each one –
not only in Heaven, but already in this life -- with the gifts they
deserve and need, accordingly.
When I see that somebody does all they can in order to serve Me
and to please Me, then I also give them the gifts that they will
need as tools and instruments to do their job for Me.
Some people haven’t made much of an effort yet to either read or
put into practice those things I have said already.
The gifts of My Spirit are for those who want to put My Word into
practice, who want to put My will into action, and live it, they’re
for My “Action People.” Those who want to be more than just the
“sermon” type of Christian who goes to church once a week to
listen to the preacher and call that “service to God.”
Service to Me consists of doing what you can in order to bring
My Words of life to those dying spiritually all around you, and
those who dedicate their lives to that service are the ones who
receive My gifts in order to help them do the job.
An apprentice will have to work for a month before he will get his
first paycheck, and he won’t be getting the fancy assignments
before he will have completed the simple ones, and that’s how it
also works with Me, if you want to be My apprentice.
Those who are faithful students of My written Word will also
eventually hear My living Word, as I have promised, but first
you’ve got to do your part and what you can do make sure that
My Words dwell in you (see John 14:23).
Two things are more effective in pulling down My Spirit upon you
than any other: witnessing and praising Me. I have ordained it in
such a way that if you cannot do one, you can at least still do the
other. If you cannot witness, at least you can praise Me as a
testimony of your gratitude to Me, and of your acceptance of My
lordship.
Before you can receive My Words, you have to create a space for
Me to fill, and you have to prove with your actions that you want
to go My way, because prophecy is for those who want to go My
way, follow Me and do things to further My Kingdom.
You have to become familiar with My voice through reading My
written Word, and eventually you’ll also hear My voice speaking
to you personally.
Trust Me that I distribute My gifts at a pace that I know to be most
appropriate, and usually – not always, but usually – it takes a
little while until somebody gets there where I can say “Now he’s
ready.”
How much do you really want it? Do you think it’s something
worth waiting for and making a few efforts for?
628 _________________________________________________
There were some of the Pharisees in My day and the days of
the early apostles who were favorable to our Cause, and worked
for us from the inside by trying to defend us from our enemies,
etc.
But their fame, and the extent to which they made history ends
right there, and is not comparable to the extent to which My
apostles changed the world with their actions.
There is a difference sympathizing with My Cause, and truly
going all the way in dedicating your life to fully living it,
uncompromising discipleship.
It’s your life-style that the Enemy hates and fights so vigorously
and thus sends monkey-wrenches into your midst, often in form
of the worldly interests of your children, or by your own desire
for a more comfortable life. He tries all he can to destroy your
testimony and tries to stop you from being who you really are.
I can’t say that you have managed to live up to every point of
perfect or ideal discipleship to a tee, but at least you’ve tried.
You’ve tried and shown that indeed it is possible to live by faith
in this day and age, and to live a life of fulltime discipleship,
independent of any major institution, even if you may have failed
in some other aspects to be a perfect sample of what the world
would expect of “nice” and flawless Christianity, which doesn’t
necessarily resemble My idea of a disciple at all…
It’s hard to let go of everything you are and resemble to the
System, your reputation, and see it go down the drain, but only
until you realize what an illusion all that is, in the first place.
Don’t be surprised if the System wishes to eradicate your name
from the face of the earth. They can’t stand folks who shine a
torch light onto their dark and evil spots and expose their
hypocrisy and their game for what it really is.
The System will hate you if you’re going to stand up for Me and
go on an all-out attack for My truth.
Don’t be surprised or disappointed if you won’t have a huge
following and a big fan club.
The majority of the masses who followed Me only did so as long
as they thought I was going to bring them some sort of physical
advantage, such as liberation from the Romans, which most of
them expected the Messiah would do. Once they saw that I was
seriously clashing with the religious authorities of their System,
and I wasn’t going to be big and popular, after all, you can see
how even some of My closest friends pretended they didn’t know
Me, even if only temporarily.
Popularity is one of the three things listed as dangerous, besides
power and plenty.
Let it go! You have to take a certain stance and be willing to let
go of it all, not knowing whether you’re ever going to gain any of
it back.
You can always be sure that I’ll make it up to you somehow,
eventually, latest when you come Home to Me, and I’ll pass out
the rewards. But even in this life, you’ll usually see that you
never lose by giving up anything for Me that isn’t going to last
anyway…
The words “prophet” and “popularity” don’t jibe. They don’t
belong in the same category. They clash with each other.
Because what a true prophet of Mine has to tell the people is
never popular. It’s never anything that pleases the “populus,” the
people, because it usually exposes them and their false games,
their hypocrisies, and how they have embraced the lies, instead
of the truth.
Prophets aren’t popular because the truth isn’t popular.
If the Devil, the father of lies, is the god of this world, then what
do you imagine permeates the world, and what sort of
philosophies run and govern the world? Lies. Lies are the
foundation of the System, and truth acts like a destructive
ingredient when confronted with that kind of pie-in-the-sky
matter.
And most people have fallen for some of those yummy, howbeit
elusive options at one time or another. It’s your job to tell them
that that’s not where it’s at, and that there is a real thing, that may
not be quite as yummy as the fake looks, but at least it’s real, it’s
lasting and it’s truly nourishing and of real value, unlike the
plastic fake.
Whether they’re going to believe you and follow suit is up to
them, and another question, but all that matters as far as you are
concerned is whether you have done your job in telling them.
A lack of applause is never a sign that you’re not doing your job
as a prophet.
For a prophet, a lack of applause and feedback from the System
is actually a positive sign. At least it shows that what you’re
saying isn’t just an effort to become popular and “friends” with
them!
Prophets aren’t popular.
629 _________________________________________________
When I talk about professionalism I’m talking about
professional engagement in bringing about and furthering the
cause of My Kingdom on earth; commitment on a professional
level.
When you choose a profession, you’re following a certain calling,
and you profess your loyalty to a certain cause.
We have the worthiest Cause in the universe for anyone to apply
their energies to.
Being a professional is more than a matter of outward
appearance. People can look as “professional” as they want to,
it’s still their actions that determine whether they’re anywhere
near professional or not.
There are definite contrasts between worldly professionalism
and professionalism for My Cause. The dishonesty in the
corporate world that they feel they have to resort to in order to
get ahead, the sense of competition with people trying to climb
up the ladder of success in order to get an advantage over others
and show that they’re better than they; that’s not what I associate
with.
When I talk of professionalism, honesty’s a given and a
requirement for being a professional disciple, as well as unity,
rather than a sense of competition and anyone trying to prove
they’re better than someone else.
If anything, we want to prove that our “thing” is better than that
rat race slavery the System is all about, and when we talk
professionalism, we’re talking about professionally, whole-
heartedly, loving others and trying to help them find happiness.
You’re supposed to have undergone some progress and
development since you were beginners at all this. I’m trying to
point out ways and possibilities of becoming more serious about
all of this business of preaching My Gospel for a living, and thus,
professionally.
630 _________________________________________________
The humble attitude of willingness to take the blame is
always healthier and more conducive to peace and finding the
solution, than the self-righteous finger-pointing attitude of just
blaming the other party.
If you honestly and humbly admit that you still have lots to learn
yourself, you’ll get further than by the method of appointing
yourself to the only position of the teacher, and everyone else as
the students.
See yourselves as “fellow-students,” each in a position of give
and take, and with everyone involved able to both teach and
learn something.
Even I counsel a lot with My heavenly counselors, and when you
read about things which “have been determined” that “must
come to pass” (see Dan.11:36) in My Word, then you can assume
that it wasn’t just determined by Me alone, or not even the Father,
but those conclusions were reached in unity and united
counseling.
The kind of leadership that doesn’t listen to anyone else is
actually the Enemy’s kind, because it’s only pride that doesn’t
make room for fresh new input from others, thinking that you
alone know best and assuming that everybody else is dumber or
inferior.
“We know you can do it” is definitely better than a doubtful and
skeptical attitude. Even if they turn out not to make it, your
energies will have been invested in a better and more
constructive way if you’ve been encouraging them than by
discouraging them.
My Word is going to bear fruit some way or another, it’s a win-
win given, a situation in which you simply can’t lose. That kind of
energy is never wasted.
The instant, temporary results may not always be exactly what
you wished and hoped for, but it’s the final result, the outcome of
the Big Picture, that matters, and that’s where you’ve got to keep
your vision.
My principle works, it will not be defeated, My Word will not
return unto Me void, period. So, you never lose by giving, by
investing positive energy into someone, even if you don’t see
their potential, or even if you see them wasting it.
You only have My blessing to gain by encouraging other people.
But negativity usually reaps its own results… So, for your sake,
My sake, and their sake, stay positive!
631 _________________________________________________
A lot of drops in the bucket will add up to a refreshing and
life-giving drink, and if everybody contributes their drop, we’re
eventually going to have our bucketsful that are going to make a
difference.
Your faith manifested in doing what you can will result in My
pouring out to you in greater measure, and eventually you’re
going to start pouring and never stop…
There will always be more that could or might have been done
under these or those circumstances. I don’t look at things that
way. What matters is that you stay in tune with Me so that you
can do whatever it is that counts most at the moment, and that
you hit the mark in that way.
It’s learning how to do it in teamwork that counts: with Me, and
your helpers, both in the spiritual and the physical realms. Just
do what you can and you know I’ll do what you can’t.
632 _________________________________________________
I speak through many means. I speak to you through the
things you read, through My personal words to you, but also
through My ancient, written Word, as well as the New Wine, and I
speak to you through what’s going on around you, the signs of
the times, and even through the words of the proclaimers and
interpreters of such events, as in the news clips you read.
You’re feeling the “pulse” of the times by all these things, and as
in the physical, so it is with the spiritual: there are good doctors,
who diagnose their patients accurately and correctly assess
what the problem is, and there are those who are stuck in their
own little ways and opinions, and although some of them may
have some good advice to offer, a lot depends on the schooling
they have received.
There are certain things that will identify those who have been on
the right track all along and expose those who are at fault.
In the meantime, feel with them that are low and destitute, feel
the pulse of the times at its grassroots, and don’t assume any
position of royalty or governance unless you are more than
certain that it is I who put you in it.
633 _________________________________________________
Prayer changes things. It certainly has the power to break
vicious cycles.
There comes a time when words will only go so far, and you’re
just going to have to apply the counsel you’ve already received
and put it into action, even if it’s “just” action through prayer.
Sometimes it’s actually quite good when for a change there is
nothing else you can do but pray, because you’re giving Me a
chance then, to show what can be accomplished by letting Me do
it and giving Me a chance to work by commending the thing into
My hands through prayer.

Contrary to popular church interpretations of the passage
about the 4 horsemen, the 7 seals are like a fast-forward preview
of all of world history at one glance.
You’ve got Me there, “Whose goings-forth have been from the
beginning and since the days of old,” (Mic.5:2), as the Scripture
says of Me, (even though church Christians like to interpret the
rider of the white horse as the antichrist), followed by the god of
war, who came into the world pretty much at the beginning, too,
when Cain slew Abel; then Mammon, as people started trading
and developing their materialistic streaks, followed by death and
hell.
Then there is the prayer and patience of the saints, along with My
Promise, and finally, a quick bird’s eye view of the end of the
world – not so much as the single events of My Second Coming,
nor the battle of Armageddon, nor the Battle of Gog and Magog
at the end of the Millennium, but all three rolled into one, the
“Day of the Lord.”
The Millennium will herald My day, the “Day of the Lord,” even if
it will last a thousand years. My Second coming will initiate it,
and the Battle of Gog and Magog will end it – that period of My
Day during the existence of the world as you know it, before its
recreation, the new earth.
And then the 7th seal heralds the 7 trumpets which will zoom in
more specifically on certain events of the Endtime.
636 _________________________________________________
(S.H.:) The heavenly words from Jesus make the difference
that’s needed to bring back that heavenly spark into your life that
you’re missing.
His input and His gifts are different from all the things that befall
you in your earthly life. They simply don’t have that imperfect,
and thus disappointing quality about them that earthly things do.
Sometimes it may look as if you hadn’t made much progress, but
there definitely has been some, and even if the Enemy may try to
make it seem insignificant, the wrong thing to do would be to
give up! Giving up and resigning certainly won’t lead you to
victory!
The words the Lord has for you are the factor that are going to
give you the victory. They’ll be the difference between victory
and defeat, between positiveness and negativity. The Enemy may
try to diminish their value in your mind and tell you, “What good
is it all, anyway?” But just stop to pause and think why he would
do that. Certainly not in order to help you! He’s just sick and tired
of being defeated and exposed by them day after day, month
after month, year after year! There’s not much progress he can
make in your life, as long as you keep receiving and heeding the
Lord’s counsel, and he sees he’s fighting a losing battle in your
life. So, the best thing he can do is to persuade you that the very
factor that’s strengthening you is one you actually don’t need,
that it’s useless.

Just because not many other people seem to be interested in
what the Lord has to say, doesn’t mean that hearing from Him is
not the one possible best thing you could ever do! Just because
you’re seemingly the only one doing the right thing doesn’t make
it wrong!
Only time will tell who the true prophets were, and their voices
will linger, while the other ones will fade!
If you are going to doubt that you’ve got the Real Thing, then
who is going to believe it? Don’t let circumstances dissuade you:
the problems in your marriage, or the way your kids are turning
out, or the way your house looks, or the lack of people’s interest
in you and what you’ve got to say. If you make the Lord and what
He’s got to say, your primary interest, then all else will be pretty
much irrelevant… And sooner or later the people who matter will
realize that what you have to say does matter, simply because
what you have to say happens to coincide with what the Lord has
got to tell them. Even if it’s just to confirm something somebody
else says in a crucial moment. You can sway the tide in His favor.
You’ve been walking a good path, don’t give up on it. Don’t put
any restrictions or limitations on your times with the Lord, but
keep making them the pivots on which the rest of your days
hinge, and the central point everything else revolves around!
Don’t let anyone tell you it’s useless! Keep fighting on!

 1 ________________________________________________
“The double-minded man is unstable in all his ways. Let not
that man think that he shall receive anything from the Lord.”
As long as you can’t make up your mind whether I’m really it for
you, it’s a lot more difficult for you to receive things from Me.
As long as you’re still flirting with the world in hopes that they
might perhaps still be interested in you, you seem to ignore
another verse from the epistle of James: “Know ye not that
friendship with the world is enmity with God?”
The lure and the sirens of the world are one of the most powerful
temptations and distractions the Enemy has to work with against
Me and My Cause, and I sometimes just have to stand there and
watch it happen. But it’s not like I’m going to encourage you for
it.
Thankfully, My silence makes you think.
That’s a neat feature and advantage of silence. It makes you
think. It gives you room to think, for a change, and gives you a
break from all the endless noises and distractions which are
trying to achieve just the opposite.
Silence gives Me room to move. Remember that it’s the space in-
between the objects that does it. So it is in the acoustic realm.
The power lies within the empty, silent spaces between all the
clamor and clatter.
When I get you to the point where in silence you contemplate and
realize that all you’ve been up to lately was vanity, then I get
another chance to present to you My program, which, granted,
may be a lot more low-profile than all the rah-rah and ado of self-
advertisement and aggrandizement.
It’s back from the pinnacle of the temple of temptation to the hill
of the humble cross, the true reality of what this world has to
offer for every one of My true followers…
It may all be nice for a while, rounds and rounds of applause and
cheers, but once it’s really down to what you’re all about, the
cheers will fade. It’s a solemn occasion, for the world to be
reminded of what they did to their Savior. The kind of gloom and
you bring upon them is the atmosphere of Golgatha, a reminder
that the world always resists, rejects, persecutes, haunts and
crucifies their saviors, and God’s messengers.
A reminder of the fact that those messengers are always, without
exception, not of this world, because the ways of the world are
simply evil.
It’s a reminder that they have to change their ways, and many
have to contemplate and think whether they’re willing to do that,
and most of them naturally won’t.
No one is immune to the worldliness bug, and it pays to stay on
guard against it, and vigilant. Sometimes you forget the good old
admonitions from My Book: “Be sober and vigilant…,” “Watch
and pray lest ye enter into temptation,” etc. Or, “He that thinketh
he standeth, let him take heed lest he fall.”
As soon as you judge another or point a finger at anyone else,
you can be almost sure that you’re going to be the next one due
for the temptation you just criticized in others, just to show
whether you were really stronger than they.
Any amount of energy and time invested in promoting your arm
of the flesh is wasted time and energy. The only thing I’m actually
interested in and care about is the spreading of the message that
will bring souls into the kingdom, or help others to come back to
the straight and narrow path they may have veered from.
Investing time and energy into anything other than that is simply
counter-productive, because it preaches the message that, “Well,
if he does it, then it must be okay.” When it‘s not okay with Me.
It’s like having to watch those who are supposed to be working
for and making advertisement for Me, actually advertise for the
opposing side. Imagine you’re running for president, and the
people you hired for your election campaign were actually
campaigning for your opponent, using your money and
resources, and the time you pay them for in order to promote
your opponent… You wouldn’t be flipped, either, would you?
You would be – to say the least – disappointed.
Well, it’s hard to disappoint Me, since I usually know ahead of
time what you’re going to be up to. But don’t be surprised if
there’s going to be a period of silence from Me, if that’s what it
takes to bring you back to your senses and make you think.
By offering more entertainment, and amusement, you achieve
just the opposite of that and lead them “away from thinking”
again, contributing to the entertainment overload that already
exists. If there’s one thing the world doesn’t need, it’s more
entertainment and more distraction from the essential things that
they usually ignore.
2 _____________________________________________________
It takes real faith to believe that “they that are with us are more
than they that be with them,” & it takes constant & steady focus
on those superior, howbeit invisible forces guaranteeing your
victory.
You’re going to have to learn more & more to take your eyes off
of the obvious, the physical circumstances & factors, and tune in
to the spiritual instead.
When you look at the physical, you’re sunk! There are no happy
endings in real life for the flesh. That’s why this whole infatuation
with gloom and doom & the darker side of things that so many of
the younger generation are subject to, is just another trip of the
flesh, and shows just how little they adhere to the spirit. They
champion the cause of the flesh & ignore the spirit.
It takes faith to prefer the spirit over the flesh, and esteem the
spiritual above the carnal; faith that they don’t have, because
they invest the bulk of their time in other things than My Word,
which would give them the faith.
So, in their short-sightedness, they settle for the here & now, the
visible, with all its gloom and doom, & despise Me & My World,
just because they can’t see it.
Walking by faith & not by sight requires a courage and attitude
that only the fewest & rarest, the choicest of My warriors, dare to
take on. And that’s a privilege that not many choose to be worthy
of. All the more it should drive home the importance of focusing
on the spiritual, rather than the physical, temporal world & all its
interests, to you, & help you make sure you won’t make the same
short-sighted mistake of Esau.
You’re expected not to commit their same errors, but you’re still
expected to love them. They might reject & not tolerate you, but
still you’re expected to welcome and tolerate them. If it weren’t
for that crazy, supernatural difference between what you have &
theirs, then what would make it desirable? The art lies in not
measuring others with their same standards, but loving your
enemies, to show love to those who have no love for you.
It’s easy to love those who are just like you or are on your side.
One reason you find so few who are on your same wavelength is
so that you learn to love those who are not.
How do you love your enemies? Look past the differences & seek
some common ground. Somewhere along you’ve been feeling
lonely, misunderstood, bitter & angry, too, so there should be
plenty for you to be able to relate to. Somewhere along the lines
you’ve been a System junkie, a pleasure junkie & a fool for the
flesh, too, so why not show some understanding & humility,
instead of that alienating spirit of pride & self-righteousness?
Why not show you’re not any better but have been down that
same road, too? Instead of trying to protect yourself from future
hurt, why not be willing to risk taking a blow, like I did? Sooner or
later you’re going to have to, I’m afraid. There’s no way around
receiving some blows, as a follower of Mine.
Maybe some of your defense mechanisms only tend to make
matters worse…
3 ___________________________________________________
“Love your enemies” is the message, and a fairly important
one, because this is what will truly make you stand apart as true
Christians, as opposed to those who sanction killing their
supposed enemies (many of which have never done them any
harm), by the tens of thousands in far-away countries.
I need you to be a sample of that miraculous, outstanding, super-
human love of Mine that even enables one to love their enemies.
This situation is going to require lots of desperation and help and
guidance from Me, but that is all the more conducive to My plan
and according to My will and liking, even if your flesh may crave
for the opposite, a situation it can easily handle in its own
strength and wisdom.
So, they’re different. So is most everybody else. Show them that
you accept their being different, remaining friendly, polite and not
coming across as judgmental…
4 ___________________________________________________
It just so happens to be the nature of the Enemy that he likes
to lie, and when he’s running out of other things to lie about, and
when he sees that he doesn’t get any further with his lies about
Me, then he resorts to lying to you about each other. When he
sees he doesn’t have a chance anymore to destroy or weaken
your faith in Me, then he intends to destroy your faith in each
other.
And in the same manner that he used to lie to you about Me, that
I don’t love you because you’re not good enough, etc., he then
starts making up lies about your brethren, or your mate or your
children, etc., that will alter your perception of them, just as his
other lies used to tend to alter your perception of Me, or yourself,
or of life altogether.
You can more easily distinguish his lies about Me because you
know from My Word, and from My repeated assurances, that the
things he tells you about Me not loving you, etc., simply aren’t
true. Whereas he has a greater chance to get you to swallow his
lies about others, especially when your communication with
them isn’t so hot.
The easiest way to find out the truth and expose him would be to
approach the other person and tell them, “I’m having these
thoughts about you, could you help to clarify them?” Of course,
that does take a certain amount of courage, honesty and humility,
but it would be the easiest way to find out.
5 ___________________________________________________
Stay on the straight & narrow path of conviction and
separation from the world. If you won’t do it, how will you ever be
able to expect anyone else to do it? Somebody’s got to lead the
way.
While there may be more than a few who may believe in Me, there
aren’t all that many who actually dedicate their time to serving
Me and spreading My Word and furthering My Cause.
Does My Cause seem so un-worthy to you?
Don’t you think that a relationship with Me is what they need, and
that hooking Me up with them could solve a lot of their problems
and change their lives for the better?
You’re not just trying to sell them another “religion,” you’re
trying to get them to know Me. You introduce them to Me.
Don’t you think that there are certain advantages to knowing Me
and being able to rely on Me? All you sometimes see is your own
battles and trials, but am I not taking good care of you while most
other people you know and see around you lead much more
difficult lives without ever really knowing what for?
Introducing them to Me, the Great Teacher, does the same for
them that Ann Sullivan did for Helen Keller: She brought
meaning, yes, the very concept of meaning into her life, and
that’s what I do for so many, countless others, too. But usually I
don’t get much of a chance, because so few of My people want to
introduce Me to those who don’t know Me yet.
Keep in mind what you’re here for: you’re here to introduce
others to the Great Teacher Who will bring meaning and light and
love into their lives. Isn’t that a worthy endeavor?
If you’re going to sing, make it a song that will make a difference
in their lives, a song that will let them know about Me.
6 ____________________________________________________
The only way you’re ever going to get people to roll up their
sleeves and pitch in and help you with your work is if they see
you really being dedicated about it yourself.
You might be in this for a longer haul than you may have
originally been hoping or preparing for.
With a half-hearted attitude, it’s going to take longer to get the
job done!
I can’t let you off the hook before you get the job done.
In My school, there is no graduating with bad grades!
“Let’s get it over with!” is certainly not an attitude or mindset
conducive to good work and a job done well and efficiently. It’s
definitely not an attitude that’s going to warrant a “Well done
thou good and faithful servant…”
There isn’t any mention in My Book of anybody just having done
a mediocre job for Me.
I need you to change your mindset and prepare and brace
yourself for the long haul, because I’m going to have to prolong
this class, this lesson, for as long as it takes for you to get it. I
can’t let you graduate without really actually having made it and
passed the test.
You’ll have to make up your mind whether you really want to
belong to the ranks of My dedicated ones who really gave their
all, and not just went through the motions because there would
have been no alternative.
The only way I’m going to be able to make My swift return is by
My bride and church getting the job done of winning those that
need to be won.
Unless you give it all you’ve got, you’ll lose, either way!
You can only win, if and providing you give your all.
You are doomed to failure if you don’t, and just “hang in there”
half-heartedly.
If you’re going to hang in there, I need you to do it with a whole-
hearted attitude.
Hang in there means do it with all your might and whole-
heartedly, giving all you’ve got!
Hang in there also means, this could take longer than you
originally expected!
It means, you’ve been doing alright so far and you’ve been on the
right track, but if you’re going to make it for the rest of the way,
some things are going to have to change now, because change is
the one guaranteed factor of this, My revolution, and has been,
from the beginning.
Hang in there, in other words, means, keep changing! Keep
revoluting! Keep forsaking all! Keep forsaking what needs to be
let go of and keep forging ahead in a new direction, making
progress and conquering new territories!
Hang in there means, get ready for another U-Turn, and hold on
tight as the wheel of My revolution is going to take you for
another upside down and right-side up spin!
Sorry if that sounds like more than you originally may have
thought that it would amount to. Sometimes, in order to make it
easy for My followers to begin their path for Me, I make it sound
simple, like, “Come, follow Me!”
But only after a while are they ready to hear some more of the
details and all that it entails to follow Me: taking up their cross,
forsaking all they have and becoming an enemy to this world,
because all they really care about is Me and My Cause. 8 ___________________________________________________

One of the conditions to forgiveness is your seeing the need
for it, and your coming forward and confessing the sin and
dealing with it, confronting it and determining that you will strive
to overcome it.
Certain things just require consequences and action taken.
You’ve got to repent and change your ways. You’ve got to move
on to a higher level.
You may think life is treating you badly, but you ought to know
that things could get a lot worse, and they will, if you don’t show
some sincere gratitude for My blessings I bestow on you.
10 ___________________________________________________
Sometimes certain efforts have to be made in order to get
what you want, and if everything would always fall into your lap
by itself, then I would be spoiling you. That’s not what I meant by
trusting Me to supply all your needs. I never said, “Don’t do
anything, I’ll do it all!”
Life may have been easier in some aspects before, but then I
never said that it would gradually become easier… The
challenges grow as you go.
11 ___________________________________________________
I’ve provided you with sufficient building material for a house,
and now you have to put a structure to it and build it, and put
those bricks together according to the way My Spirit guides you.
It may not make much sense to be constructing with something
as non-lucrative as words from an unseen Creator, and while
your contemporaries might perhaps ask you what on earth you’re
doing with your time, yet posterity might think differently about
it, and maybe you will have done humanity a greater service by
dedicating your time to such a seemingly un-promising and un-
rewarding task (as far as immediate rewards are concerned),
than by any feverish efforts of your own to have an impact on the
temporal world around you.
How deep are those temporal impacts that folks leave in the
present world? The temporary adoration of thousands, perhaps
even millions, but what are they being left with? Unless what you
have to pass on to the world is really pointing them in My
direction, often it will only contribute to the illusion of their
present matrix, and thus it will only encourage them to put more
energy into the temporal, and invest more of their lives into that
which is doomed to fade and pass away, instead of that which
lasts, and in My eternal Kingdom…
From a temporal viewpoint it may not make much sense what
you’re doing, but that’s what faith is all about: putting your cards
and your “money” not on the same old things everybody else
can see, and what they consider to be “common sense,” but
rather that which requires some “uncommon sense,” a vision for
things not everybody else can see…
You dare to make the statement that My words, and what I have
to communicate to you happens to be important enough to invest
your time in it, and I will honor that statement.
You are fulfilling My Word by your sample that “Man shall not live
by bread alone, but by every Word which proceedeth from the
mouth of God,” and “Labor not for the meat which perisheth, but
for that meat which endureth unto everlasting life, which the Son
of man shall give unto you…” Of course, that kind of “labor”
never did make much sense to those who are only concerned
about the here and now, but that is what makes you different.
It’s the same faith or vision that many aspiring artists or writers
needed in order to do what they felt they needed to do, and that
they were created to bring forth, even if the world around them
thought it was nonsense, and it was usually especially those
closest to them, their own families, parents or brethren, that
would give them the most flak about it…
There is always enough to do and enough thrills to discover
about life, if you’re interested in more than just yourself and your
own immediate well-being or entertainment.
Life is full of adventures to discover that the large majority is
completely unaware of.
It may be hard for you to watch how those who invest in the here
and now are blessed with success in return, while your efforts
remain largely unseen, but that is the price one pays for being
not of this world and one of My disciples.
12 ___________________________________________________
I knew that the appearance of things was not portraying a true
picture. While there was apparent defeat before Me, I knew that
beyond it lay greater victory, and that’s the sort of vision, faith
and trust you also must have.
Even though it seems as if you were on your way down to the
rock bottom of your soul and existence, and the situation may
appear to be less and less hopeful, you’ve got to have faith that
beyond it lies a greater victory and resurrection than you could
possibly imagine, and which won’t be attainable any other way.
You’ve got to go through this as I’ve had to go through
Gethsemane, in order to experience that glorious resurrection,
and experience once again that the Father will have done it for
you the same as He did it for Me.
You can claim the promise, “You will not leave my soul in hell”
(Ps.16:10). Even though you must go through this dark period of
your life, He will not leave you there, but He’s only using it in
order to bring about a similar victory from it that He brought forth
through My crucifixion.
I will pull you through this somehow.
You don’t know yet how, and it seems to you as impossible as
the raising of Lazarus was to the bystanders of old, or as My
resurrection seemed to My disciples during the 3 days I was in
the tomb, but it inevitably happened.
The light inevitably won its victory over the darkness, and it
continued its conquest over the subsequent 3 centuries, and
even so it must continue to conquer and vanquish the darkness
even now, as the world’s darkest hour approaches.
You are My heralds of light, and you must learn to be overcomers
of the darkness and not be intimidated nor affected by it.
It may seem like a lot to ask when the darkness appears to be so
overwhelming and nearly all-encompassing, but that’s where
faith comes in, the little strength that you have, which is going to
turn out greater than everything the Enemy can muster in the
end.
Focus on the light! Focus on My Power, and see what no man
else can see! See the victory beyond the battle, the resurrection
past the crucifixion, the new glorious life beyond the grave, the
brilliant light just beyond that stretch of pitch black darkness.
Don’t be distracted by the fake colored and flashing lights of the
Enemy, that which seems like light and life, but is not. But keep
your focus fixed strong on the true light, the only light capable of
lighting every man that cometh into the world (Jn.1:9), even if at
present so many of them seem to be in darkness.
Go forth and let your light shine! You cannot help but win, even if
I use the apparent losers to show the world what is true victory,
not wrought of the flesh, but of that which truly brings life: My
Spirit.
In the flesh you may see death, but the life that is wrought by the
spirit is the real thing that lasts.

Some things time will resolve, as long as you keep your
spiritual eyes & ears open for My input. I may not always show
you everything you need to know immediately, but “Time will do
the talking.”
You’re supposed to learn as you go, and lessons learned slowly
have a tendency to stick longer and be absorbed better.
You’re not supposed to know the answer to everything from
scratch. Folks are supposed to know you’re in the same boat
with them, the only difference being that you have that hot wire
with Me by which I can reveal to you answers to certain
problems. You’ve got that magic lamp of My living words, which
can solve problems for you as they arise. It doesn’t create a
problem-free path for you, but solves them as you go and as you
confront them.
I’m not leading you on a path without confrontations, but one
where you learn to deal with them with My help as they arise.

The Good News and what is meant by “The Gospel” is not all
the gory details about the evils of this world and Satan’s
workings and how he manages to enslave people, although it
may take that sometimes in order to wake some people up to the
fact that they need Salvation. But primarily, the Gospel should be
the emphasis on the Good News that I have come to save you
from all that – Anything the Devil may be up to will be brought to
naught, and the first and best thing anyone can do to avail
themselves of My cleansing, renewing and liberating power, is to
receive Me, God’s gift to them, and thereby become heirs of His
Promises.
There is a time for everything: a time to warn people of the evils
that may befall them if they refuse to adhere to My ways and
counsel, but then there is also a time to remind them just how
easy it is to become a child or bride of Mine.
You’re fighting to bring Salvation to the world, not condemnation
(Jn.3:17).
It’s good to be aware and not ignorant of the Devil’s devices. But
the message you will want to convey to others primarily is that of
Salvation, that of hope, and an emphasis on the light, and not so
much on the darkness.
The foundation stone you must lay is that of Salvation, and that
they have accepted Me in their lives.
The best and most effective weapons against the evils in this
world is My gift of Salvation.
Give’em Salvation! Save them! Get them saved! Make them Mine!
Getting them saved and getting them to get others saved is the
best and most effective thing in the world you can do for Me and
for My Kingdom!
15 ___________________________________________________
It takes faithful practice to get your mind under My control,
and if you neglect it for a day, it’s going to take you greater effort
the next. Because you’ve been trying to come up with all sorts of
ideas on your own, your mind is used to “doing it” on its own
again, and it’s always hard for it to let go and let Me take over
again after such a period of running wild and free…
Your mind will take you anywhere if you let it, wherever it deems
that success and strength will be waiting. The only problem is,
there’s no happiness, no joy, no peace, no love waiting there,
because those are the fruits of the Spirit, whereas the mind
working on its own without My Spirit will just bring forth the
fruits of the flesh. And so you wind up tired, exhausted and
frustrated instead of fulfilled and satisfied with your
achievements…
I have to allow you to make these experiences to drive home the
importance of depending on Me instead of doing it on your own. I
just can’t let you do it alone; I need you to include Me in it.
I need you to find out by experience that the results simply won’t
be the same when you try to do things without Me as when you
include Me and commit the day into My hands first. I need to
make it obvious to you that relying on Me is doubtlessly the
preferable option to relying on your own strength and wisdom.
Including Me will always bring better results than not doing it,
even if your flesh may be telling you a different story.
It’s easy to be swept off your feet by the loud and enthusiastic
rah-rah style of the flesh. It can be quite deceptive and
convincing: “Of course you can do it on your own! Come on!
Don’t you feel all that power and energy you have? Show the
world that you’re its champion!...”
That battle royal between flesh and spirit is ever-present. If you
forget the lesson for just a moment, the flesh will take advantage
of it and try to make its break, and, of course, the spirit, in its
tender and gentle way doesn’t stand much a chance to oppose it.
The spirit is always the victim of the flesh and its aggressive
ways. The spirit will always bring salvation and new life to the
flesh once the flesh has come to its end, and is ready to accept
that the spirit indeed is superior, but it usually won’t take long
until the flesh will figure once again that it can do it on its own.
In reality it will only make a mess of things trying to face all the
numerous challenges in its own wisdom.
The flesh’s attitude will always be, “We’re going to show them
that we can do it without them!” Like a little stubborn child that
really wants to show the world and only lands flat on its face in
the effort…
Too many people try to do things on their own without Me,
without consulting Me, acknowledging Me, and often even
without considering Me or asking for My help at all. Just a quick
stamp of approval, perhaps, so they can’t say they never prayed,
but not really looking up to Me for constant guidance.
Carnal reasoning leads to becoming the epitome of a fool who
says in his heart, “There is no God, and even if there was a God,
there is no need for Him, because we manage just fine on our
own! This whole God-business is just causing a lot of problems,
anyway…”
It’s the opposite of the wisdom of acknowledging Me in all your
ways so that I can direct your paths. It’s like stubbornly insisting
on running through the darkness blind, refusing to accept My
light to shine on your path…
Experience teaches you that you all have a little bit of that
syndrome within you, and if you’re going to give in to it, it’s
going to take you down the same path where you’ll wind up
making a fool of yourself.
It pays to listen to Me and wait for Me and My input, My Power
and Spirit to be your boost and guide…
You can do it yourself, if you insist, but the result will never be
the same as when you include Me. You can do it, but whether
you’re going to be doing a good job at it is another question.
16 ___________________________________________________
The kind of truth that really makes a difference and deals a
blow to the Enemy’s kingdom is the Salvation message.
I need you to publish glad tidings, the Good News.
A lot of people are preaching negative news, but not many are
actively offering the Solution.
The Salvation message might not put you on the front page in
earthly papers, but it puts you on the list of those who obey My
commandment to preach the Gospel!
You’re learning just how special obedience is, and how much
trouble disobedience has caused for mankind. There’s a drastic
difference, and it pays to be counted among the obeyers.
17 ___________________________________________________
You’re not the only one finding himself a bit clueless
concerning how to deal with the younger generation. It’s one of
those extraordinary challenges you find before you that I want
you to recruit and solicit My help in solving and tackling.
Sometimes all young sensitive people need and want is to be
loved and belong somewhere.
If they don’t really feel that their home and family is where they
belong, then of course they’ll look someplace else… among their
peers and friends, to find that feeling of belonging and kinship.
It’s a perfect illustration of My relationship with much of the
church. The vast majority are simply quite infatuated with the
world and love it the way it is, and they’re not really all that
interested in either exposing its evils, nor in offering others a
way out. They’d actually prefer to be in it themselves, and – in
their hearts – that’s often the case.
Sometimes their attitude toward the world will change later on in
life, according to their personal experiences. Others are simply
quite comfortable with it and the way things are, and they’re not
cut out for the life of a disciple.
Fact is, you’re in the world, and that’s for a purpose: you’re there
to make certain experiences in it, and you just can’t save your
child from that path any more than I was able to save you from
it…
Everybody has to make their own experiences in the world that
will make them determine whether they feel at home in it, or
whether they’ll refuse to settle for what it has got to offer them,
and seek a better place instead…
The pain of having to watch them go the other way and forsake
you – as Paul put it, “having loved this present world,” is an
experience that I want you to go through as a sample of how I
feel many times.
It’s part of obtaining a greater understanding of My mind, the
mind of God, and learning to not only see things through My
eyes, but also experiencing them with the Father’s heart. I don’t
only want you to learn to see and think as I do, but also to feel
and to love as I do, and the only way to achieve that is via the
path of suffering and pain that you experience through these
conflicts.
To be forsaken by your own for the sake of the world is a very
real experience for Me and the Father to deal with, and We would
like to allow as many as possible to participate and partake in
this pain to give them a greater understanding of Our point of
view, and how we feel about it.
It will also teach you how to love like We do: not just giving up on
someone when you see that they are turning their backs on you,
but to continue loving them unconditionally in spite of their
choices and preferences for the world, even if it’s very painful.
You may feel tempted to close your heart up to them and lock
them out, but you know you just can’t do that. You simply have to
bear the pain… And, like the father of the prodigal son, hope and
pray that some day they will return to you, and receive them back
with wide open arms, as I have always done with you.
Mothers often experience these things differently. They cannot
bear to see the whole thing with the realistic view of what their
children are actually doing by choosing the ways of the world.
They say, “It’s only natural,” and in a way they’re right. They
have to make those experiences; it’s in their nature to have to do
so.

You don’t have to take and accept everything the Devil, or
even life itself, hands you. Sometimes you’ve got to have the
grace and the ability to say, “No, thank you!”
It’s ingrained into the minds of this consumers’ society to take
and grab and consume whatever one can, but sometimes it’s
simply wiser to forego some of those blessings, which have a
hidden price.
They may make things easier and more pleasant for you
immediately and in short term aspects, but in the long run they
make you lazier and spoiled… and thus, weaker to fight the
battle, which is, of course, the Enemy’s incentive.
He pretends to be your friend in order to weaken you, so that
when the showdown comes and he shows his true face, you
won’t have what it takes to resist, overcome, lick and beat him.
Obedience and successful relationships both depend on the
ability to let go of one’s own will. People with a strong will have a
harder time to form successful relationships with others and
finding it in them to carry out orders or what’s required of them,
especially when it’s in aspects that require faith, instead of
situations with immediate, tangible rewards and gratifications.
It’s the “What’s in it for me?” society and a “Tit for tat” system
where folks only do something in return for some benefit, and it’s
very hard to get anyone to renounce that type of thinking for the
sake of My Cause, and to persuade them into doing anything for
Me, especially if it’s not going to be rewarded with some
immediate benefit, but requires faith in rewards in some distant
future, which is only perceived by faith, since the whole rest of
the world says that it’s not going to happen…
It is I Who will have to right the wrongs of this world, and I know

My pupils do their homework and thoroughly.
You’re finding out that just slapping your theories together on
shreds of information without hearing out the whole story has
unpleasant consequences.
When you get excited about an opinion, you tend to skip a few
facts, and it requires a bit more work to really find all the
supporting facts and arguments, secure their sources, and to
state your point in a more balanced and reasonable way.
Unfortunately, that kind of work makes whatever you’ve got to
say or write also more tedious to listen to or read…
People are always quick to hear some biased gossip, or
emotional rantings and ravings of someone that will stir up their
emotions for a certain cause or against a certain group of people.
What people like isn’t necessarily the facts, but hype and
propaganda. They basically love to be manipulated, and that’s
also why they will receive the Antichrist with wide open arms,
since he will be the chief manipulator of all times.
Give both sides a chance to be heard, at least when there are
facts on either end, without omitting any, lest you become guilty
of the same tactic of manipulation.

I wasn’t a great winner of debates in My time, and that’s simply

I’d rather lose an argument and win the soul. That’s the goal…
Not tons of arguments in favor of your point, but enough love to
win a soul, even if you never win an argument.
It’s not about showing off how smart you are, but about loving
others, and in the process you’ll find out, that that’s the smartest
thing you’ve ever done.
Love may turn out to be even more effective than the raw truth!

The one thing I never want you to forget is that I’m with you,
and thus things will always work out and turn out alright for you
somehow, now matter how bleak or hopeless things may seem.
The more each of you will cling to and rely on Me, the more
harmony there will be, and disturbing factors will be erased.
29 ___________________________________________________
Many factors force you to cling to Me and seek My face,
instead of enabling you to just cruise along “by sight.” The only
way anybody in My service is ever going to make it to the finish
line victoriously is by faith, not by sight & being able to calculate
every little step ahead, relying on one’s own strength, wit and
abilities.
So it’s going to take a miracle for you to be able to make it,
instead of you being able to rely on your own skill. Does that
surprise you that I’m not allowing you to get away with relying on
your own strength?
I want and need success to be brought about by My Spirit, My
power and grace, not by your relying on your own skills. I need to
get the whole glory in order for it to be able to work.
30 ___________________________________________________
They that will seek Me with all their heart, I will let them find
Me. The problem is that so few really seek Me with their whole
hearts. Their lack of interest, their indifference kills them…
If they’d be more interested in finding Me, then My people would
also be more interested and excited about helping them to find
Me, and consequently, it would become easier for folks to find
Me.
But as it is, the vast majority is far more interested in finding
other things beside Me…
Which makes it so that more faith is required on behalf of My
people in order not to lose the vision for the commission I’ve
given them to preach the Gospel… more faith is required in order
to obey Me than would be necessary if everyone would be eager
to find and know Me.
So, it’s not easy, but not necessarily because I have made it thus.
Folks basically aren’t interested.
My challenge for you is: how do you make them become
interested? How can you arouse their interest in Me?
How are you planning to compete with the barrage of devices our
Enemy has developed to get them interested in themselves and
their own amusement or survival?

The final outcome and happy end of history will be despite the
mess that mankind would have made out of it all, and only
because of My wonder-working and miraculous grace, and that’s
what I want you to put your whole faith in, not any personal,
carnal abilities.

your own strength.
With each passing year I want you to avail yourself more of My
strength and less of your own.
The more desperate and dependent on Me you are, and the less
you confide in the flesh, the better things will be. You need to
learn that I am truly the One Who can and will care best for you.
35 ___________________________________________________
Life isn’t something you’re supposed to be able to show off
with after it’s done, “Yeah, I lived a great life!” You either learn
from it what you’re supposed to learn, or you don’t, and it takes
whatever it takes to drive home the necessary lessons, whether
you’re ever able to see the wisdom in the measures I’m taking in
order to ensure you do, or not.
What’s in My interest is what you’re really going to take home
from all of this, what really sticks with you, what you really learn
from it.
You tend to be inclined to argue that you deserve better than
your lot that has befallen you. Why should you have to end up in
such a miserable situation? Well, it’s those miserable situations
that determine and show what kind of person you really are…
Most people tend to think more highly of themselves than what
objective observation and judgment would rule, that’s human
nature.
The question of “do we get what we deserve” is already
answered: “Whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.”
You don’t only get what you deserve, but you reap the very
results and consequences and fruits of your own either selfish or
unselfish actions. Somewhere along the line your actions mustn’t
have been all that unselfish, if they brought you to this place, and
if the fruit you reap is this situation you’re complaining about.
Somewhere there must be something that is still left to be dealt
with, some problem to tackle, some weakness to face.
The school of life isn’t over yet.
I’m not letting you get away with everything. I’m not allowing you
to continue kidding yourself.
It’s time for you to begin to see your limitations and the
consequences of your own actions first, before trying to save
others from theirs…
What the world needs most is not another sermon, but a sample.
What’s required here is a sample of yieldedness to My limitations
that I set before you, the confines that say “thus far and not
further – for your own good,” and your cheerful acceptance of
them.
If children have an example of parents who constantly try to
dodge the limitations I’m putting before them, then it’s no wonder
they’ll wind up trying to do the same whenever they can…
How mature are you, as in foregoing some personal pleasure for
some greater good you could do instead for someone else?
36 ___________________________________________________
Just as I’ve had to pull out the sword behind the Early Church
in Jerusalem in order to get them to obey My commandment to
go into all the world and preach the Gospel to every creature, so
I’ve had to do it time and again throughout history, in order to get
My servants and children to obey.
When the time came, I made it unmistakably sure for them that it
was time to move on.
Not every battle My children ever fight is won. Not if they’re not
aware of the Enemy’s devices, if they’re foolish enough to ignore
him or in their pride refuse to see him at work in their own lives…
37 ___________________________________________________
You can’t rest on the laurels of what you’ve already
accomplished, achieved or even received, if you want to continue
making progress.
You cannot take any gift from Me, for that matter, to your own
credit and merit, pat yourself and the back for it and think how
well you must be doing.
“What hast thou that thou didst not receive?” And if you did
receive it, how could you ever boast of it, even if it’s just to
yourself…
Your attitude should always be that of a humble seeker for more,
never thinking you have arrived, regardless of how much I pour
out to you.
Be open to look in new and different directions and ways of
making progress and learning from Me.
38 ___________________________________________________
I don’t give you more than you can handle. You may be
tempted to think it’s the case, but I know better than you do what
you can handle or not.
I might bring you very close to the edge of your capacities
sometimes, but that’s the way you grow and make progress.
“He that loseth his life for My sake, the same shall save it.”
You’ve got to lose what’s disposable and unnecessary, the fake
and the superficial things, in order to gain the Real Thing, that
which lasts, and has true and eternal values.
I give you the real thing in return for the fake you were chasing
before. The real thing is connected to suffering. “Beauty for
Ashes.” No real beauty without some pain and suffering!
39 ___________________________________________________
It can happen more easily than some people think, that they
make themselves idols and start worshiping other gods and start
falling prey to sins such as lust and greed!
You’re the light the moths are attracted to, and if it’s anyone
they’re after, and are going to try to annoy, it’s you!
Flesh = temporal; spirit = eternal. You’re largely concerned with
temporal matters when you become obsessed with the flesh,
instead of investing your energies and resources in the eternal.
The Enemy will try to usurp any area of your life that you’ll allow
him, and he knows exactly in which particular areas he’s most
likely to have success.
You’re up against a cunning enemy.
40 ___________________________________________________
Once things are back to “normal,” you immediately quit
seeking solutions, and just let things continue to have their way;
and as you know from science, things won’t just improve by
themselves if you leave them alone, but rather tend to
deteriorate.
With doors, it does take a little effort of your own to push them
open, to turn the doorknob, to knock or ring the bell, it isn’t
entirely up to Me.
You shouldn’t be intimidated by obstacles. Where’s your faith in
My ability to help you overcome them? I’m here to help you.
There are rules that need to be kept in order to score in the game,
and you’ve got to take into consideration what happens when
you take love for granted… Anything taken for granted tends to
lose its magic.
Even I won’t allow you to take Me and My blessings for granted,
so, how can you expect a frail human being to do so?
You’ve got to put something into anything you want something
out of.
Sometimes necessity creates whole new worlds of energy and
resources you previously wouldn’t have seen…
41 ___________________________________________________
Sometimes I have to discard an unfruitful branch in order to
purge and prune My tree, so that it will be ready and stronger to
bear more fruit. It may seem like a loss, temporarily, but time will
usually tell and reveal that that which I have taken away was
necessary in order to make room to bring in new and better fruit.
I do with what I have while it’s available, but when the time
comes, and a branch grows old, it’s wiser to cut it off and make
room for new fruit to grow. The pruning is painful, but the future
fruit that will be gained through it will more than make up for it.
“No chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous, but
grievous. Nevertheless, afterward it yieldeth the peaceable fruit
of righteousness unto them which are exercised thereby.”
My crucifixion and My parting, the taking away of My flesh, was
painful for My disciples, but it was expedient for them in order to
get to know Me more closely than before via the Comforter.
Even so separation, parting of the flesh, may be painful for you
for a season, but it will bring forth fruit that you will rejoice in.
42 ___________________________________________________
Nearly everything about a relationship depends on the way
you see your partner. If you view them with critical eyes and
don’t really appreciate them, they feel it, and it is manifested as a
lack of love, which is the fuel of any relationship. It just won’t
make anymore uphill progress but inevitably grinds to a halt, and
you might have to walk a few miles to the next station to get that
love tank filled up again and keep on rolling another stretch.
43 ___________________________________________________
Sometimes, when some of your prodigal sons and daughters
are on one of their trips into the world, you as parents can find
yourselves tempted to become somewhat prodigal sons and
daughters on your own again, too. Be it out of resignation, or
because you feel so strongly attached to them that you want to
show you sympathize with them and their ways, or in defiance of
the self-righteousness and lack of love of some older brother…
It’s a test of your convictions, and whether you will stay true to
them and keep Me in the first place in your lives and refuse to
compromise, as well as of your love, to see whether you’re going
to treat them in a self-righteous manner and become like the
older brother toward them…
Some tests serve multiple purposes.
It’s also a test of your unity, and to show whether you’re going to
stay united as parents over the issue, or allow the Enemy to use
this to sow division between you.
You don’t always pass these tests with flying colors, especially
not during their beginning periods, when you don’t really see any
of the meaning and purpose in them yet. Only when you’ve come
some of the way through them, and have fallen into some of the
traps along the way, can you see their purpose more clearly.
“Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down” (Ps.37:24).
I must allow you to fall sometimes, for various reasons: to keep
you humble and remind you that you are only a frail human
yourself, prone to weaknesses and sin, mistakes and failure, like
everyone else, and prevent you from becoming self-righteous
toward those you see erring and straying from the way.
I want you to maintain a loving attitude toward them, even if you
can see exactly the foolishness & futility of the path they’ve
chosen. I want you not to judge them, even as I have not judged
you.
Experience will be their best teacher, even as it has been yours.
After all, isn’t that what life is all about, and what you really learn
the gist of life’s lessons from? Not from lectures or from books,
sermons or talks, but from experience. That is the language that
really writes those lessons of life deep into your heart.
44 ___________________________________________________
Sometimes you just have to get going and do what you know
you’ve got to do, and then I’ll show and lead and guide you
concerning the details as you go.
45 ___________________________________________________
Real greatness does not judge, but is there to catch and
accept anyone the way they are including their faults and
failures, no matter how grave. That’s the kind of greatness I want
you to inherit and learn from Me.
The reason I’m allowing you to go through hurtful experiences is
not only for you to put yourself into My shoes and become a
partaker of My sufferings, but for you to learn to love as
unconditionally as I do.
The unconditional love I have for you I want you to extend to
others as well, so that they won’t feel judged by you, nor
criticized or critically viewed, but just loved. If you can convey to
people the notion, the feeling and the confidence of “you are
loved,” then you’re there where I want you, and that’s the
moment they’ll begin to follow you, because love is the only truth
worth following.
When love truly becomes the essence of what spills over from
your life into that of others, then you’ll have learned the lessons I
want you to learn and you’ll have made the progress I want you
to make.
It doesn’t matter how well equipped, talented or anointed you are,
because all it takes is your yieldedness and letting Me do it
through you anyway.
And the way you let Me do it through you is by taking the little
steps of obedience I show you to take, and trust that I will be
there to empower you at the right moment, when strength will be
required that you don’t have of your own.
All it takes is for a little obedient someone to come along and do
what needs to be done, regardless of whether they’re aware of
the immensity of the spiritual battle going on around them or not.
“Less is more” evidently also applies to knowledge, and
sometimes the less you know, the more you actually get
accomplished.
The thinkers aren’t always the doers, and perhaps some of the
poor thinkers you may be tempted to look down on today may
become the doers of tomorrow, who didn’t know that the things
you’re so scared of couldn’t be done…

rescue and whisk you all out of the mess of this world a lot
sooner…
But there were different lessons in store for you and many others
likewise.
Things don’t always turn out exactly the way they initially seem
to.
What seems nice and shiny and relatively simple on the surface
sometimes becomes increasingly complex as time goes on and
you get a closer look at it.
Youth stands for a smooth and attractive surface, but it’s often
the depths of the many wrinkles of old age that reveal the true
intricacy of life. When you’re young, everything seems so simple,
so smooth, just like the surface of the skin you see in the mirror.
Everything seems to be upbeat and energy and singing the tale
of progress.
Only with the passage of time and more time do people begin to
realize that what is truly considered progress is something often
quite different from those things they pursued in their younger
years. Values change. Everything changes.
At first the race is run in the flesh – with perhaps a little help from
My Spirit. But the truly experienced know that it is not in the
energy of the flesh that the race is won, and they rely more fully
on My Spirit to carry them through the finish line.
You have only just begun to battle in the spirit, and part of you
still yearns to run with the younger generation, but you have to
let go and realize that that isn’t your task, but your task is to be
an example of how much more efficient it is to wrestle and fight
in the Spirit, in other words, let My Strength do the fighting for
you.
The younger you are, the more you want to do yourself. The
weaker you become, the more you learn to rely and depend on
My strength, and naturally, I want to prove that this is the way
you truly get more accomplished.
So, while for some it may mean to do all they physically can, to
become more “professional” in what they’re doing, in your case
it may mean something else, namely that I want you to learn how
to professionally rely on My strength, My guidance and wisdom,
so that once the younger crowd starts running out of their
natural steam, you can show them an even better way that is
found in letting go of the trust in the arm of the flesh, and starting
to rely on a much greater power…
Some of the oriental religions have grasped this point about the
superiority of the spirit over the flesh better than Christendom
per se…
Right now, the whole world looks up to and has idolized youth
and the young. But it will turn out to be those who have learned
from experience that really pull the threads and exert the true
power that wins…
56 ___________________________________________________
I have raised unto Me the rocks to sing out My praises in
choosing you as My chosen vessels for this day and age, that
which they consider the scum and the lowest of the earth.
My Spirit sank down into the lowest regions of society and
brought to life there what formerly had no life, and caused those
to sing and shout My praises who did not know Me, as opposed
to those who sit in their pews on Sundays and do pretend to
know Me, but praise Me with their lips only, while their hearts are
far from Me.
You are the rocks upon which I have built My new and living
church for today.
57 ___________________________________________________
Just how true friends really are usually only shows in your
hour of Gethsemane, and it’s best not to screw your hopes up
too high, but learn to live with the reality of where most people
are really at, and to develop a strength of character that will help
you to stand when you will have to face life’s darkest trials on
your own…
The kind of friends that really count are those who have the same
Best Friend that you have in Me, people who also center their
lives around Me, and who have a living connection with Me,
which I can use to keep you on their hearts and minds, just as I
remind you to pray for them.
You’ve had to learn and find out yourself first what it really takes
to be a friend, and what are the criteria that really qualify you as a
reliable and faithful friend.
It pays off in the long run. It pays off to make other people happy,
to help them, and to be a friend to them, even if initially they
might not seem to have anything to offer you. That’s what true
friends are all about.
“Greater love hath no man than this that a man lay down his life
for his friends.” That pretty much wraps it all up and reveals the
sort of quality and sacrificial, unselfish attitude a true friend –
according to My book – must have.
Just hang on for a little longer, and keep walking that path of true
success as defined by how much you give, not by how much you
get (the opposite of the world’s idea of success), and you’ll see
that the type of people will show up in your life who have learned
to live their lives by the same criteria.
58 ___________________________________________________
When somebody’s mind is made up about something you
have relatively little chance to change anything about that, and
you just have to let them go through the consequences of their
choices.
Poor choices and their results are often the only thing that will
effectively change people’s minds for the better in the long run.
You cannot save them from making those any more than I was
able to save you from yours.
It’s part of learning to love unconditionally to allow those you
love to make bad decisions and go down paths that you know
won’t spell out anything positive for them, and yet try to keep
loving them throughout their folly and expect them with open
arms to come back to their senses someday.
The beginning of true wisdom is the realization that your own
carnal wisdom doesn’t cut the cake, and you begin to look
toward Me for answers and wisdom, and not just rely on your
own head.
Respect for Me, and to start looking to Me for wisdom when your
own has let you down, that’s the beginning of true wisdom.
The realization of just how sad and sick Satan’s promise of “Ye
shall be as gods” really was, along with all its consequences, is
the first step on the path toward true godliness.
59 ___________________________________________________
Life is all about learning forgiveness, the very basics of true
love…
Anybody can love the perfect. Love becomes real when it’s about
loving in spite of the hurt they’re causing you, in spite of the
countless times they prefer something else, something infinitely
inferior, some dead, material, lifeless thing over you, or they’re
giving more attention to anyone or anything else. Love keeps on
loving even in the face of the total absence of love on the part of
the other one… That’s the kind of love that never fails, that never
ceases, never stops loving… the supernatural love of God, the
greatest and deepest of all realities.

Friendships and relationship require maintenance work.
The only thing that really cultivates friendships is actual
interaction with people.
I wouldn’t want you to be part of those whose greatest regret is
the realization that they failed to invest time, heart and prayer
right where it would have required it the most, namely with those
closest to them.
I don’t want you to be like those countless souls who don’t even
know their very wives or husbands, their children, and the very
ones they’re supposed to be closest to.
Is popularity more important than the truth?
To most people, it is, and they’re willing to compromise the truth
in order to gain or maintain their popularity. Only a special few
are willing to let all that other stuff go for the price of that one
pearl of truth.
Are you like that merchant that sold all that he had for that one
pearl of truth?
Only a very small handful, comparatively, are really on an all-out
relentless search and hunt for the truth and nothing but the truth,
and refuse to compromise with any lie or half-truth whatsoever.
And of course that sets them apart.
That’s also one reason why people are excessively into movies:
They know that usually there will be a good guy, or a couple of
good guys playing the leading roles who will make life look good
for an hour or two; people whose flaws won’t be shown, at least
not to the extent that they are in real life. You never see them go
to the toilet or the way they really look when they first wake up in
the morning, and it gives people a better “reality” to distract
them.
Of course, it would be better for them, if instead they would avail
themselves of My power to truly alter their reality for them and
really bring some improvement into their lives and some real
light and hope to brighten up their darkness. But that requires
faith, the one currency that most of the world is pretty broke of,
precisely because they’re feeding their minds all sorts of
different input instead of My Word.
So, the Devil may say about you what he will, and he may accuse
you to yourself and others, but I will say this in your defense, that
you have that certain little quality that the vast majority of people
lack, and that is faith in My Word, and a love and a hunger for it,
and as I have promised, those who hunger and thirst for these
things will not go empty and hungry for long.
Those who hunger and thirst for My righteousness instead of any
puny artificially created counterfeit version of their own will find
what they are looking for, and it won’t be a disappointment.
Those who make Me their hero are going to be the only ones who
will never be disappointed.

What the Big Picture mainly consists of is people, and in that
aspect, there’s yet quite a bit more for you to discover.
Even though the heart of man is the same all over the world when
it comes to his need for Me, there are yet many differences
between the ways people allow their hunger for Me to be
quenched in different cultures.
There’s nothing like the real live experience of getting to know
people and cultures elsewhere to really give you a bigger view of
the Big Picture.
There’s yet more to discover about life than what your little

I never run out of things to tell you. I never run out of things

impression that this was it, that the show is over with nothing left

The goal is to get them to trust in Me. It’s frustrating when so
many refuse to want to even give it a try. It’s almost as if you
have to beg them to give Me a chance to prove to them Who and
what I really am, and what I’m capable of doing in their lives.
74 ___________________________________________________
You are My vessel, and I love to pour into you. Thank you for
keeping yourself empty and open for My input, and for not
listening to the Enemy’s lies, that it’s a waste of time, and his
doubts about, “Who needs all that stuff anyway?”
Well, you need it for one, and the time will come when more
people will hunger for My genuine counsel, when all the spiritual
junk food they’re currently glutting themselves with will turn out
to have been anything but satisfactory and the philosophies of
this world will have left them high and dry.
You know how it is: when you’re young and ambitious you seek
to make a name for yourself, seek to make yourself known, heard
and seen in the limelight, and so you’re bound to compromise
with the rudiments of this world, usually to find out that it didn’t
really satisfy your inner core at all. None of it reached down to
your soul to feed it.
So, all you can do is confidently wait that there will be those who
will make similar experiences that will lead them to similar
conclusions as the ones you came to, and will drive them back
into My arms. When the world ceases to satisfy, then I will lift you
high.
That disappointment with the world is a necessary process.
Otherwise you’ll never really develop the hunger and need for Me
that you should have.
I need those who have made painful experiences with this world,
who from bleeding hearts will shout their convictions from the
rooftops. I cannot just rely on the politically correct in order to
get My message heard.
I want My voice and My approval to be sufficient for you, just as I
want My strength to be sufficient for you. In short, I want to be
sufficient for you and prove to you that I am truly more than
enough.
I have anointed others due to their degree of hunger and
openness for Me, their desperation and willingness to be used by
Me.

there, and thus exclude Me from their equation and Big Picture.
The right choices lead to true wisdom and insight and
knowledge, the others to foolishness professing itself to be wise.

It’s quite a revelation to most arrivals in the Spirit World, just that right now you’re basically trusting the System for…
how vast the difference is between worldly standards of How prepared are you for a situation in which you’d have to trust
information (with their relatively low truth content), and the Me and Me alone?
heavenly standard of “the truth, and truly nothing but the truth.”
It’s one of the reasons why My thoughts are so much higher than
those of people on earth: most of people’s thoughts are based on
erroneous assumptions or misinformation, and quite far away
from the truth.
Following My way signifies a break with the thought patterns of
the world, and learning to adapt to My way of seeing things, and
thus getting ready for the viewpoint that exists in the heavenly
Realm.
But since most people deny the Devil’s existence, and the fact
that he is the present ruler of this world, they’re also perfectly
unaware of the extent to which they’re being lied to. All of which,
of course, drastically changes once their earthly existence is
being terminated and they come to the grips with the realities of
the spirit world.
They live as if their earthly existence would be all there ever was
and will be, and the worst that could ever happen to them would
be to have to leave it behind.
That’s why I would like you to learn to live in such a way that
coming to the Spirit World would be no great shock to you.
I want you to prepare for that transition, and live accordingly; not
as an alien to the Spirit World, but one who has already learned
during his physical life-time to feel at Home Here, in the Eternal
Realm.

Why should I let all things continue as normal, if they’re not
the way they should be?
Your work for Me isn’t nearly as important to Me as our
connection itself, and if there’s a problem in the connection, I
certainly wouldn’t want to let you continue in your work for Me as
though nothing happened. You can’t do My work without My
power, and if there’s a problem with the power connection, we’ve
got to fix it first, before you can continue doing My work.
What really matters is your connection with Me to get you
through life successfully.
When Satan has managed to get you to allow something else to
usurp the position of priority in your life, I have to do something
to restore that position unto Myself. I’m not willingly going to
give up the top place in your heart. I’m not just going to stand by
and watch you go down the drain spiritually.
All those things that concern you may seem of utter importance
to you temporarily, but are they, really, compared to the
relationship between you and Me? What could be more important
than that?
Imagine in a few years from now, when you may be cut off from
the internet, the telephone and the power lines. Possibly the
water, too, and I will have to be your Provider for all these things
How else will you be ready then, unless you learn how to trust Me
now for everything?

One of man’s great sins is his presumption that his conclusions,

opinions and concoctions of his mind are true and just, when
sadly, in most cases, nothing could be further from the truth. You
could almost say, nothing could be further from the truth than
mankind’s present level and wealth of information at this time,
the onset of the 21st century.

While there’s a lot of valid information available, it’s not the truly
valid and reliable information that’s largely being disclosed to the
public. Truth is simply not what permeates the air, the ether and
atmosphere in this day and age when the “prince of the power or
the air” rules and fills the earth and air with his vibes, which
consist mostly of lies.
