What Jesus Has to Say at the Onset of the 21st Century about…

…Action, Initiative and Diligence

“If you know these things, happy are you if you do them.” – John 13:17 “Be doers of the Word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.” – James 1:22 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 tiny little faithful actions & deeds of love that make Love the greatest thing in the universe. 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. 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? 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. Action in the spirit will ultimately also result in the kind of physical action that will reap spiritual and eternal results: fruit that remains, the bull's eye of My plan for you. 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 to live it and to experience it, to put it into action 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? "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. "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. 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. 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!" 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. You've got to partake in the battle in order to really feel part of My army! You've got to do the job in order to get paid. You've got to obey to be blessed, do the "wenting" to get healed... You've got to do your part in order for Me to be able to do Mine.

It's taking spiritual action concerning the matter that counts. There isn't much you can do about it in the physical, & getting upset won't help any! But you can command Me whatever you want Me to do concerning the situation, and trust & believe that it will make a difference, and it will. I can get you places, but you've got to "rub the lamp" or say the magic words that are going to make your carpet fly, so to speak! You can't just passively expect Me to do something about it. You've got to tell Me what you want done & how you want Me to take care of a situation! The notion that things are just going to fix themselves under the right conditions is wishful thinking at best. It requires some attention and elbow grease to fix problems, not avoiding, but confronting them, dealing with them, working on them. You can't ignore even the smallest problems & simply build over them. If you have a faulty basements or foundation, the whole building is going to collapse sooner or later, and I'd rather have you rebuild the foundation from scratch over & over again until you've got it right, than risk a whole bunch of people getting hurt by a carelessly built house collapsing around their ears. No team can work with only one party giving their all & the other giving as little as possible, just in case it might all collapse. You've got to have faith in Me, that everything in your life truly does come from My hand, and whatever thy hand findeth to do, whatever the situation or task before you, it was meant for you to do it with all your might. I put a project or challenge before you to roll up your sleeves & show what you can with it! Employ your elbow grease in it and give it all you got in order to make it work. What's stopping you from giving them the love that they need? What's stopping you from obeying My counsel, from putting it into action and from doing more than just merely "being there" passively, waiting for lightning to strike you in order to bring you back to life? Life is in your hands, you've got the key of life, you've got the power to give, to love, to create, there's nothing you can't do! Is My power all just theory in your head or do you actually believe it, act on it, use it? You've got to put it into action! You've got to make it happen & just do it! It's time for you to quit being a hearer only & start being a doer. Quit deceiving your own self! How do you deceive yourself by just being a hearer of the Word instead of being a doer? By believing the Devil's lies that it won't work for you! That it's all good & nice & may work for others, but not for you, for whatever reason... You're not good enough, you're not worthy, you don't 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. Believe it, act on it, do it & send the Enemy back to hell where he belongs! 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! 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. "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. Obedient action will get you places! You're better off knowing a little less and doing a little more than vice versa. It's better to do than to know, and, of course, best of all, to know these things and do them... 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's time to get serious about your work. 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 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! 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.

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-ofthe-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 said. It's your turn. I've done My part, now it's time for you to do yours. I've done the speaking, now you move to action. The emphasis now is on putting into practice what you've heard. It's time to make hay while the sun shines. "The boat has to be in motion before the rudder can take effect," and that's what it's all about right now: getting the boat moving. Consider this school of life an apprenticeship where you don't only learn the theories, but also how to apply them in practical ways! It's time to apply your hands & put some feet to the things you've learned. Life isn't only theory! It's important you grasp the theory, but the practical part is what will get you somewhere. You've been receiving it, now it's time to start giving it. We've moved from receiving mode to application mode. You've received all the initial software, now you need to get going & get your machine operating. You'll still receive more information and occasional updates, but basically, your Operating System is installed now, and you can just work away! We're going to have to be making some progress & move the things I've told you to the application level & put them into action. The things I've told you are for a purpose, they're a means to an end, not an end in itself. They're not the ultimate desired result, but only messages to help you to get there, like sign posts. Don't get into the habit of collecting sign posts, or get so busy creating sign posts that you fail to read what they say or fail to follow the direction in which they're supposed to guide you. 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! 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! 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! If you just coast along, thinking, "oh, well, yeah, the Lord's gonna pull me through somehow," I might do it, but there will be consequences to pay for your lack of actively doing your part. Do what soldiers do, prepare for battle, and not act as if life was a permanent vacation. 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! your life is only a farce unless and until you're taking up that cross; there's just no way around it! If you're hearing from Me but aren't doing the things I say, then what good is it? "What matters is the things you do." Your actions are what make you what you are, not your intentions, not even your belief or religion, if they never go any further than your head or your mouth. Your faith has got to determine your actions, otherwise, what good is it; what is it worth? (James 2:17,26). When I'm telling you it's no use for you to do anything except by My Spirit & Power, that doesn't mean that your part is to do nothing. But I'm expecting you then to take the initiative to pray desperately for Me to make it happen. That's the kind of action I want and need you to take. When you do something good, don't immediately rest on your laurels, but let it be only the beginning. There's lots more to go on to from there. Don't stop already when you've hardly yet begun! All the counsel in the world will do you no good if you don't put it into practice. All of this will merely remain in the realm of the theoretical, if you never put any of it into practice. You're going to have to develop more initiative & get on the ball, if you're going to find and fulfill your dream and vision!

I need you to do all you can to bring in the harvest before the storm. Look for opportunities, ways & possibilities in which you could be of help in order to further My cause. It doesn't come natural to most to be helpful, so that's something you've got to strive for & make a conscious effort to work toward. 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! If you've got the obedient kind of faith with an attitude of "ready to go, ready to stay, ready my place to fill...," then I will give you the kind of inspiration, power and gifts to spur you into action. You have to make an effort in order to reap a harvest; you can't just expect the fruit to fall into your lap! You've got to keep pressing in. Don't quit seeking progress, ways to improve & how you can do more than yesterday! 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 put you in! What earns you rewards with Me is pitching in with and for others, sacrificing of your own comfort in order to make it easier for them. Happiness does not equal finding ways around hard work! Often, the way to find happiness is by heading straight for the pile of hard work right before you. Happiness is not found in making things as easy as possible on yourself. Happiness is not found in avoiding the chores of life. Good old fashioned hard work would be the answer to many of the world's problems. Taking for granted what you have, and wanting something different, the "grass on the other side" syndrome, prevents you from ever putting your whole heart into the situation you're in, from applying any elbow grease to it, and instead of being enthusiastic and on fire, you just passively wait for the day when things will change for the better, which might never happen, because I'm waiting for you to take the initiative to change things yourself! Take the initiative and spread some love & affection the best you can. If you wait for it to happen, it might never come; you've got to make it happen! Be a thermostat instead of a mere thermometer. You've got to have the initiative to be the first to try & give love to someone else. You can't allow your love to be passive! You've got to give it away, which is an active deed, and action you perform, not just a passive waiting for all the right circumstances to come up! A lot depends on you, and the initiative you come up with to get out of yourself and show love to others. What will be depends on your initiative, your courage, your faith and your vision to determine that it's worth it to show love to someone else. You've got to do it, you can't expect everybody else to. If you want to change the world, you've got to be the one to start. Use that power you've been given to make a difference. You can make the difference between what is and what could be! Don't live to be served, but walk in My footsteps & learn to serve others! If I'm not opening a far away, glorious door elsewhere, look around; there must be something to do right where you are! And there is plenty to be done. Why not invest energy and effort into this ordinary day? You'll see, the more you put into it, the more you're going to get out of it. "Try - just a little bit harder!" That's just about one of the basic themes in life. I can give you all the clues, show you all the tricks & tell you all the secrets, but you've got to do the "wenting," you've got to try them out & put them into practice. What I tell you always works. Sometimes you just got to try a little bit harder. If something doesn't work out right away, keep trying a little harder until at last you succeed. It's the heart that moves one to action, which then actually makes the difference. The mind alone doesn't really have creative power. It's the heart that moves the rest of your body along to really get something going. You need inspiration, not just mere brain-power & intellect. If it all just remains in the realm of thought, it can so often be and remain nothing but hot air. You can think things up & down until it hurts & you can talk about them for ages, but usually the simple people will have simply done it long before you ever got around to stop talking about it.

It's the difference between intellect & initiative. If you had a choice between the two, I would recommend the latter. Neither intellect nor intelligence are on the list of things needed to make a pioneer, but initiative is. Only those who can see further than the confines of their minds can break out & dare to go where no one else dared to go, do what no one else dared to try. Their minds simply don't know that it can't be done. Love edifies, it builds up that which is essential. The heart. The inner knowledge, and more than knowledge; the urge and compassion to do something about the things you know are right. You can't just leave things to themselves and let things have their "natural" course. The natural course of things won't turn out to bring any improvement at all, but rather decay and a deterioration of the situation, of the condition of things. You can't just let the Enemy have the world & passively stand by as he wrecks it. You've got to do something about it! You've got to counteract, you've got to oppose him. Otherwise, if you don't oppose him, it's almost as if you're siding with him. You've got to oppose the Enemy in order to really be on My side. There's no such thing as not choosing sides or passively acting as a neutral, because that act of not doing anything to even attempt to stop evil is an act of evil in itself (James 4:17). 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. 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! 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. "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." 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. The flak you're getting is 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. Sometimes you don't even have to say all that much; just doing it will make all the difference it takes. It’s never too late to become a doer of the Word. I keep hoping for folks to hop on the bandwagon of the doers of My will, and sometimes it’s those folks you would least expect to fulfill that hope, who come to surprise the whole world. It’s like an apprenticeship: you learn as you go and put the things you have learned in theory into practice. 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. Seek opportunities to do good the way a blind man would desire sight! Make a whole-hearted effort. You cannot just be passive about it. You ought to be desperate about making sure you did just what it took each day to make a difference in someone's life. The world isn't going to come knocking on your door to ask for the Gospel! You've got to seek, urge, beckon and charge them to come in! It's your job to find out what you can do in order to improve the situation, and not just assume that everything is going to get better all by itself. You need to contribute your part in order for everything to get better and every day to get better. You can contribute your part in making it nicer and better for someone else and be Jesus for them in some ways, to be a manifestation of My love for them. Ask yourself, "What can I do in order to make this day a little bit better than the day before for this person?” People can be overly optimistic at times and expect to find whole chests full of diamonds and jewels, already cut and polished, as they go down into the mine, but that's not reality! The reality is that you go down there with your pick and shovel, and it's cold, uncomfortable and dirty, and for every ton of dirt you move, you might find a diamond. That's the

reality of life in the mines! Everything else is a result of the elusive television mentality where everything comes easy, without you ever having to do much of anything except press a button on your remote control. You cannot expect things to get better all by themselves, but you're going to have to do something in order to make it better! You'll have to work hard on becoming a better person and making a difference, and not just take the lack of love of others as an excuse for never doing anything! It doesn't matter what you call yourself or pretend to be, but what you do. Your actions will prove whether you're truly one of Mine or not. You can call yourself what ever you like, you can be part of whatever church or movement you like, and hide behind the backs of others, but when it comes down to it, what will determine whether you're really doing things according to My way and My will or not, is your actions. You can say whatever you want, but it won't make any difference until you do what you say. Diligence is an important part of love. 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. If you have the spiritual down pat, then it's time to prove it by your works. It's time to get stirred up, and really get some movement and action in the spirit going in order to get the desired results. Make sure that love is the prevalent spirit in your actions. 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. You don't have to hide behind what you're doing. You can be free to just be who you are in Me. The essential thing is not what you do, or that you do something. But what is more important to Me is what you are, as you do them. In what spirit are you when you do them? What do you convey as you do them? Are you acting in My love? Is My love recognizable in what you do? By just fulfilling your duty and hiding behind your job or position, the purpose of what you're doing it all for in the first place is getting lost, not to be found under the rubble of accomplishment, meaningless action and going through the motion. As long as you're taking Me with you in the things you do 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... 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 when new tools become available, you just switch to using these... In the meantime, keep working with what you've got. The real art of living lies in recognizing each challenge and task set before you as your special and individual, tailor-made destiny that only you can fulfill. Of course, that requires a good portion of faith and vision when that "glorious destiny" is a pile of dishes, a load of laundry or taking the garbage out. It's relatively easy to do some glorious job that's going to be noticed by a bunch of people. But those who can keep doing those little, menial jobs with that same vision are My greatest and truest heroes. Those "little" jobs they're doing are in reality the greatest service rendered to Me of all, because they require the greatest portion of faith, vision and perseverance, and that's why they will also receive the greatest rewards. "What thine hand findeth to do, do it with thy might!" (Ecc.9:10). Many people are too much into their gear of ever doing things and accomplishing things, instead of just letting go and letting Me... They feel that in order to be needed by others, they've got to do things that make them indispensable. Their self-worth is determined by their actions, so they feel that if they're not capable of doing anything, then they're also not worth much, they don't amount to anything if they can't do anything. Some things you've got to make happen, and one of the surest ways to make them happen is to start off by praying for them to happen. Once you've prayed for something, I can then help you to crystallize it and manifest that prayer, showing you what you can most effectively do to put feet to your prayers. Your actions speak louder than your opinions of yourself. 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 to which you put your faith into practice, how much you are actually living your faith.

Sometimes the problem is that you already know what you should do, and you've learned the lesson in theory, but simply aren't putting it into practice yet. You "know these things," but you're not happy yet because you don't do them yet (Jn.13:17). It's a matter of finally putting into practice what you know in theory. A relative novice with a larger amount of initiative can sometimes outscore and "old professor" of My laws and Words, if they simply live more what the others preach. I was living and practicing all the Scribes and Pharisees had known and been studying about in theory for all those years, having come to the conclusion that it probably couldn't be done at all, and here I came along and proved them wrong by simply doing it. Give people the benefit of the doubt, that even if they did something you wouldn't have done, the end result might still be better than having done nothing at all. Life isn't all about constantly collecting new little revelations and bits of wisdom, but about learning to apply them. Whatever it is that costs you the most and that feels like the hardest to do, you can assume that that's precisely what the Enemy is trying to stop you from doing! You will have to take care of things in order for them to continue to develop in a positive, favorable and progressive way. If you neglect them, there'll be chaos, no order, and things will fall apart. Energy plus matter plus information makes life possible. You've got the matter, but then you've got to invest some energy in a well-planned, organized, intelligent way, otherwise there will be no new life, just a slow decay of the old. You can make the difference by rolling up your sleeves and pitching in and making it happen! It’s time to roll up your sleeves and pitch in with the gigantic job of winning and feeding the world that's there to reach. 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 training has done for you! In order to be a pioneer, you’ve got to take the first step. It always takes one man (or woman) of faith to get the stone rolling and to initiate the process. 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. I’m serious about what I’m telling you, and I’d appreciate it, if you would believe Me for it, and take My Word for it, and if you’d act on what I tell you. Hearing from Me should also include asking Me to show you ways to implement what I’ve given you! There’s always a part that you can do, a part I’m expecting you to do, in order for Me to do Mine. Once you’ve learned a new lesson from Me in theory, you’ve got to look around for opportunities to put it into action, how to apply it in real life… Take it from the dormant domain of your thoughts and your interior into the lucid and awake realm of your actions, the things you actually do. Spirit does not resemble inactivity. The Spirit will spur you on to godly action. Overcome the inactivity and stagnation of the flesh by godly powerful action of the Spirit! 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 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.”

What Jesus Has to Say at the Onset of the 21st Century about…

…Anger

“Let not the sun go down upon your wrath.” – Ephesians 4:26 Let anger be far from your heart! Refrain from anger and cursing lips! 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). Anger can really be a dangerous inroad of the Enemy. 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... ”

Anger manifested in criticism of other people's mistakes is a pretty bad habit! It's a form of pride & self-righteousness where you become so upset about people's mistakes & lack of perfection that you start getting angry about it. It's a lack of love & a very ugly form of pride.

Anger is just one letter away from danger.

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.

The Jews rejected Moses, in spite of the great miracles I performed through him. He had his faithful few who supported him, but the majority resisted him and provoked him to anger. But because he allowed them to provoke him, he also missed out on the blessing of entering the Promised land together with them, so, let this be a warning to you: if you don't want to miss the blessing, don't let them provoke you! If you see something going on that you think is wrong, just carry it before Me, and see if it will provoke Me to anger, and I will deal with it accordingly. But don't disappoint Me by taking matters into your own hands. There's a greater lesson to be learned here, from Moses' anger, than meets the eye. He failed the test to let Me handle the situation... Having begun all this great work not by his might nor his power but by My Spirit and miracle-working hand, was he going to complete it in the flesh now, and was that going to be the bottom line: a man's wrath? It's never your own personal affair, what concerns My kingdom! If My people are failing Me in some ways, even if you feel it's manifested in the way they're treating you personally, never take it personal, never deal with it on your own terms, but hand it to Me, and let Me deal with it! It's My affair. Make sure you're being a good sample, a good representative of Me, and stand back and get out of the limelight & let Me deal with it on My terms! It's no use, taking the rod of wrath into your own hands & to lash out words of anger, just commit it to Me! 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. 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! 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! Please don't become angry, impatient or upset with Me or your circumstances, or yourself. Learn to gratefully embrace life as it comes. If there is a difficulty, don't despair over it, don't get mad or angry about it, but face it and embrace & learn to handle it with humility. The silent, peaceful garb of humility is the one that it behooves you to wear, when you're faced with a difficult situation, a trial or challenge, not to become upset and start ranting and raving. Show that you believe and trust Me for what I've made you. So, next time you get tempted to get upset about something, pull the break! Stop everything and take time to embrace that situation, to love the situation, the gift of My new eternal life I have given you. Choose the path of life each day, and run away from all things that would promote the flesh, the way of death, that is not love and life and spirit. Instead of having aggressive and hostile thoughts on your mind, you'll seek peace with all men, especially your brethren, those who call on Me out of a pure heart. It's peace vs. the aggressive ways of the world. So, when the Enemy tempts you with aggressive thoughts, you won't fall for it. You can tell how the Enemy - through his agents promoting hatred and strife between parties - tries to sow division between you. Learning the ability to ignore his attempts and not to fall into the trap of aggression and opposition is one of the clues in life it pays to master. It's another case of looking beyond the four fingers of what's immediately before you: you cannot look at the provocation, you must look at the lesson behind it. Will you fall for that provocation right in front of your nose, or will you be wise and look beyond, at the lesson and the purpose in it? If you see it as a lesson and a test, it's much easier not to fall for it. Sometimes the gist of the lesson lies in ignoring situations that would provoke you to become aggressive. You know who is the author of aggression, so, instead of feeling like you've got a right to become aggressive, realize that you'd be a fool to fall into Satan's trap, if you allow him to use a certain situation to provoke you. A deep anger, a righteous rageis 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. Nothing else than love will enable you to do things for Me that will make a difference. There won’t be any need to be angry with anyone anymore, because you’ll know all is forgiven, all things will be well, and you’ll have that perfect trust in Me that perfect love brings. Once you know I can do it; that I am well able and willing to help you succeed, then all those lying vanities, your anger and frustrations, will melt away. 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. Remember who’s the author behind getting annoyed and aggravated. It’s not Me. 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. Becoming annoyed by their children’s traits and less than perfect qualities is 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. 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. If your child has some qualities or habits that seem to be extremely difficult for you to handle, let life rub them in so that you can really learn whatever it is I am trying to teach you through them. Maybe that’s precisely why parents get annoyed by their children’s undesirable traits: they’re a reflection of their own, and their pride usually makes it pretty hard for them to deal with that. The spirit of Antichrist is raging to extinguish Christianity from the face of the earth altogether. By voicing their anger and rage against My servants they wind up fighting against Me in the process and sticking their finger in My eye.

What Jesus Has to Say at the Onset of the 21st Century about…

…Attitudes & Mindsets

“As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he.” – Proverbs 23:7 Attitude is everything in salesmanship. The attitude of demanding part of your reward already on Earth is like the prodigal son asking for his inheritance to go off & squander it. It’s reigning a little now & foregoing certain privileges later. For centuries & thousands of years people have known that you have to sow, in order to reap. Only in these times, children demand everything in return for nothing. Adults likewise have adopted this attitude of, ‘I deserve this, so I’m going to take it’, only to find out that someone is going to have to pay the fiddler in the end. 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.

You’ve got to get rid of some of your excess weight & baggage, inappropriate habits & attitudes that don’t come in handy when fighting a war. Gratitude’s an attitude you can’t do without as friends! Show your appreciation by returning kind deeds of love. You have really only just begun to learn, and the best attitude to have is to know that you know nothing. That’s the Devil’s religion: ”You don’t have to thank anyone, because everything you’ve got, you’ve only got because you worked for it yourself!” If you’ve got that kind of an attitude, you’re actually spiritually dead.

It’s that passive, fatalistic attitude, which makes people go around in circles without ever getting anywhere, ever learning but never coming to knowledge, as one that beateth the air.

You just need to take on a ”winner’s” attitude!

It hurts Me when My saved children still wander through life with an attitude of ”but I still haven’t found what I’m looking for....”

It’s the attitude of the heart that makes the difference.

”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.

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. Keep an attitude of trust. Peace & happiness speak louder than any words. A calm & silent loving conviction & attitude of faith, a sample of living what you preach, will win the hearts of those who are willing to give Me a chance. Your happiness in this life depends on your obedience, your attitude & gratitude toward Me. As long as you keep thinking, "God, I would have done better than that if I were You", that's not really an attitude of trust & gratefulness that engenders My joy. My joy comes from truly accepting that I love you, care for you and I'm giving you what's best for you, not doubting all of these. Anybody can murmur & go through life with a "Why me?" attitude & expect more out of life than they're willing to invest. But the overcomers - and that's what I have called & chosen you to become - see with the eyes of faith. They see the good even in the bad. They don't feel sorry for themselves, but they look outward at others & their needs & are driven by compassion for them. Have a loving, merciful attitude. My attitude has always been, "to hell with the proper way!" The ways & attitudes of man, always reject the ways & attitudes of God. It's as if every morning when you wake up, the Devil has woven a new web around you, consisting of habits, selfish attitudes & chains of conformity, and you must decide whether you're going to live with them or not. It's got to be your view, your focus, your attitude that's going to have to change. Changing the world starts with you. 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. A passive attitude of "Why don't they like me or love me?" results in resentment, isolation, or simply indifference... "Well, they don't like me, so why should I care about them?" And as part of your self-defense mechanism you start looking at their flaws & all the things that are wrong with them, and instead of seeing them like victims you could be helping, as people in the same boat with needs & weaknesses just like your own, you categorize them & exclude them from your life. It's not an attitude of complacency I want My children to have, but one of alertness & desperation. You've got to show by your attitude that you're real, not just another fake & phony with half-hearted or selfish motives. Pray desperately each day for Me to show you what is the right attitude to have. Don't be fooled or influenced by the skeptical, doubtful, incredulous mindset of the blinded masses. Wrong attitudes, aggressions, bitterness & pride affect your freedom more than any person ever can. Take on an "I can" attitude! Believe that you can! Because it's true! Have more of a "Jesus" attitude, the attitude of a shepherd that would give his life for the sheep. You've got to have a winning attitude with everyone: with your kids, with your brethren, and with strangers! You can have heaven in your heart right where you are, right now, if you only have the right attitude. A mature attitude is that of one who has learned that all things come from Me in the first place, & so they give all the glory, honor & credit for it right back to Me, for "what hast thou that thou didst not receive?" Whenever discontentment attacks, you must realize that something is wrong, not with your situation, but with your own attitude & spirit, and you must ask Me to show you where the Enemy found a way in.

When somebody is going through serious trials, nothing will help them as much as your taking on a serious & sober attitude, 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. Search your heart for hidden motivations, wrong attitudes, which could lead you up the wrong path! If you have the right attitude & the right amount of love for people, the right incentive, then nothing is impossible. Pass on to your children a helpful attitude. But you've got to live it for them to see, first, before they're going to buy it! Loving people in spite of their flaws is an ability I appreciate & will reward much more than any attitude of wanting to know how much smarter you are than everybody else, including Me & My prophets! It's an attitude thing! You can choose yours. In order to really get ready for Me, what you need is a desperate, not a complacent attitude! 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. Your attitude is so important...whether you're understanding of their battles & trials, whether you're truly compassionate. Find those who don't have an attitude of, "I'm not searching anymore; I've already got it!" 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!" Treat people like potential winners, not losers. Show appreciation, not a critical or self-righteous attitude. 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. 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. As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he. If you fail or refuse to accept your title & spiritual rank of one of My ambassadors & instead just wear the title "nobody," then that's what you'll be. But if you're conscious of the fact that I sent you, and wherever you go, you represent Me, you'll be a lot more prayerful about what you'll say. There are so many details & factors & lessons you miss out on if you just rush through life in a "let me have it all," consumer-type of attitude. It's the choice between going through life with a "gimme, gimme" attitude of consumerism, seeking to enjoy all you can, to get all the input you can, and laying down your life for others. It's pretty hard to get the gospel across to the desperate from a stuffed, self-satisfied attitude, especially when much of the desperation in the world is being caused by that very self-satisfied, greedy & gluttonous attitude of the leading nations of the world... The worst you can do is think you've already got it all; that would be the exact opposite of the attitude I want you to have. I want you to know that you've got nothing and that you need it all, and I want you to behave accordingly. What you need is a change of attitude, not a change of circumstances. Once your own heart, attitude & view is changed, you're going to be a lot more effective in helping to change other hearts, attitudes & points of view. Just as you would find it wonderful if your child would come to you & ask, "Is there anything I can do to help you today?" & just as much as you would love it if she would develop a more helpful attitude, so, I would be thrilled if I could get you to

develop an attitude that would cause you to look for opportunities, ways & possibilities in which you could be of help in order to further My cause. 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... Often I choose to bring it about happiness in your life not so much by gaining and accumulating, but by losing that which was unnecessary, the excess weight of false perceptions, wrong attitudes, and"the sin, which doeth so easily beset..." (Heb.12:1). You may be living with the most perfect people in the world, but with the wrong attitude in your own heart, you still won't be happy. Problems are more often than not being caused not by your circumstances, but your own attitudes, your "system settings." Your attitude affects the way you are going to function, just as the settings of your computer will affect its usability & effectiveness. It's a matter of attitude & mindset. You just need to set your mind to do these things, to observe them, & to keep them up. They've got to become rules in your life that you keep, & that are stronger than circumstances, you won't bend them. You need to keep an advancing attitude. You've got to seize those opportunities, seize the day, and not just let it pass you by. Only with a victorious attitude will you also emerge from any given situation, challenge or fight as victor. 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. 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. I can alter not only your way of seeing the circumstances, but also your capability of handling them and dealing with them, which will make any mountain look smaller and more inviting and less gloomy than before you asked Me to change things with My power. More often than not it will be My altering you, your heart, your attitude and perception of things, that will really make the difference. So, that's where you've got to let Me work, for that's where I have chosen to live: right in your own heart! Let your heart be My home, and I'll be the greatest changing-factor of circumstances you'll have ever known. 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. Often the truly needed changes are changes in your own mindsets, attitudes and perception of things, inward changes, changes within yourself, rather than the other party. You can change your attitude, your way of seeing things, you can let Me change your heart, and much of your world will already be changed. The greatest victors are those who refuse to believe the circumstances that indicate or announce defeat! They keep fighting anyway, they keep believing anyway, that they're going to win. That's the kind of attitude that refuses to give in even to the most un-promising circumstances. Your attitude shows where you're "at," whether you got the point, and at which level of progress you are, your level of maturity and vintage and quality of character. Is yours a selfish, introverted attitude, or a giving, mature and loving one? The ones whose behavior and attitudes you care about are your own children. Likewise, I care about you. What interests Me is your attitude.

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." Sometimes you've got to let Me make things work together for good by putting forth some trust in Me first. If you approach the situation with a negative attitude, then you might be undermining the grounds for Me to bring about My good purpose. You cannot work against Me while I'm trying to bring about that good in your life. You must give Me your cooperation by putting forth a positive attitude of trust that I'm going to do it somehow, even if right now you can't see it. 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. All depends on your attitude, whether you choose to take on the position of a servant voluntarily, or you prefer to invest your life in a being-served type of position, one in which you’re the one who’s being catered to, in which you pursue your own interests, etc. Some situations don’t have a way out. Look at those who have to endure a permanent handicap that they have to live with for the rest of their lives. What counts is your attitude and what you make out of the circumstances and conditions you’ve been given, and how you handle them. Everybody makes mistakes, and nobody’s perfect; nobody has ever lived a perfect life of which they can say, “I never made any mistakes.” It’s erroneous to have that kind of an attitude. And, well, some folks just have the kind of attitude – which is their besetting sin and handicap to carry around through life – that they simply can’t see their own faults as easily as they see the faults of others. You know My Cause is worth living and dying for, and so, you’re simply willing to give all, even unto death… that’s the kind of attitude that makes disciples. All that is really needed is a spiritual solution; changes of heart, that will alter the circumstances and conditions right where they count, and change lives from within. 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. The attitude “The Lord will always do it for me, no matter what” can sometimes be somewhat snobbish and even wrong, if it causes you to be indifferent to the way you come across at people, and when it causes you to think you can just let it all hang out, and if they don’t like it, tough luck. It’s a proud and somewhat arrogant attitude to have, that there is nothing and no area at all in which you could be making changes and progress… 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. If you’re going to hang in there, I need you to do it with a whole-hearted attitude. The wrong attitude to have is, “If things aren’t the way I think they should be, why should I make any effort to change them?” Well, that’s perhaps precisely why they are the way they are, so that you make an effort to evoke some kind of difference. Maybe you’re there to make that difference. Maybe that’s why you’re seeing the way things ought to be, so that you can help and do what you can in order for them to become that way. It’s up to you to get out and help push in order for that bus to make some uphill progress, and not just do your own thing and shake your head about the catastrophe that you see unfold as the bus threatens to slide backwards into the valley!

What Jesus Has to Say at the Onset of the 21st Century about…

…the Big Picture

“For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known. ” – 1Corinthians 13:12 Every day is an intricate new creation of Mine, full of many planned & coordinated processes, innumerable activities behind the scenes... a brand-new work of art. It’s a continual work of art that never stops, for you have to sleep, but I don’t. We’re all constantly working behind the scenes for you & all of My children and those who are yet to become My children for each new day to become just that step in time to bring them closer to Me in the way that’s needed to bring about the optimal result in the Big Picture… Another great scene in the movie of life.

Each person has their own scintillating beauty, their own particular sparkle or shine to contribute to the Big Picture of My creation & plan.

Be that yielded contact somewhere in the vast intricacy of the Big Picture of the universe & eternity, the relay that says ”yes” to God at the right time & place. The great plan is that everything and everybody will lovingly interact, teamwork & co-operate in one heavenly, ecstatic & climactic symphony... Everybody has an important part & role to play... everybody matters, everybody makes a difference, everybody can contribute, and we all need each other. Keep learning to see Me and My hand and My purpose behind the things that I allow to happen in your life, keep asking Me about them, and about their deeper purpose. Keep trusting that My ways are higher than yours, & that as hard to believe as it may seem right now, every little detail will fall into place & wind up making perfect sense in its contribution to the Big Picture.

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. Each person perceives as reality only a fraction of the grand picture. Only I can reveal the whole picture, and in due time, I will. There are many different shades of grey, & I will use all of them to make a perfect picture. Even though the Book of Revelation talks about all the suffering and death that's going to befall the world toward its end, there is incessant praise in heaven at the same time. They continue to praise Me in spite of all the suffering they see happening on earth because they see something you can't. There is a perfect plan, and a perfect picture and sense in it all! No matter what all the bad in your life amounts to, you've got to get ahold of that glimpse of My perfect picture, My perfect sense in it all! You've got to see Me and My hand in it! Growing & maturing is not just increasing your knowledge; it's increasing the bandwidth of the spectrum of what you can actually see of the Big Picture. It's exciting, when even the most mundane & seemingly loathsome experiences in life seem to make perfect sense in view of the Big Picture. When everything makes sense & seems obviously conducive to the great plan of God Almighty. When you're aware of those trials & tests just serving to bring you yet another step closer to Me.

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. 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. Everybody has their 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! 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! Enjoy acting out the part of your life, even with all the little, seemingly insignificant side-scenes & side roles you're having to play. Those who are willing to play those seemingly dumb little roles are the greatest stars Up Here. We're working on a show that might not attract the fast-food entertainment consumers, but one that will endure the tests of time. Play your part with the dignity of one who knows that he's heir of a heritage that lasts. 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. 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. All things that I have brought about in your life, every stream of input, every influence, every contact, every friendship... they all work together toward My grander plan. Everything will make sense someday, even the apparently senseless. Anything the Devil can do is only fuel for My motor. Just like it turns out that oil is being produced in the earth by the centrifugal forces released through the earth's rotations. All the Devil accomplishes through his rantings and ravings is to produce more fuel to keep My machine moving toward the completion of My plan and Big Picture. 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. You've got to see My heavenly landscape & beauty of what's going to be & what really is in the heavenly Realm. 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. Allow some room for disasters, for head-shaking events, stupidities and atrocities to learn from, to laugh at... It's all part of the big picture. It's not all tragedy & drama. There's also some 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 whole thing grows, slowly, like a gigantic puzzle, bit by bit (information by information), revealing My Big Picture, in which you're participants.

The whole thing grows, that's the plan. While that snowball still looks the same old white, as you roll it through the snow, and it's still made out of the same basic stuff, namely snow, it keeps growing and growing, though, and eventually becomes quite a substantial weight to reckon with... It changes. It progresses. It's never exactly the same old thing. There are new varieties and slants to discover all the time, about those good old fundamental truths. It always takes you back to the same simple but monumental truth and foundation. The moment you think you've got it all figured out, a new door will open that will lead you into a whole new dimension you never even assumed existed. Everybody's got their own personal note, their own personal contribution to make to My Big Picture. I like to include everybody I can and allow them to participate in the work on the Big Picture.

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. 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. You constantly discover new facets, new aspects, new details and angles, factors and clues to new secrets, mysteries and revelations; things you weren't aware of before. The Big Picture is moving and growing; it is alive. You cannot just stick it into any closed container and say, "Here, this is it: the whole truth and everything there is to know." There's always more to it, always more. You may think now you've got it, and you've reached the bottom line, end of story, and then a new chapter or whole new story begins. The experience every human being gleans from their choices is what makes it all so special, and what makes this "Big Picture" so exciting. I don't only see the Big Picture more clearly than you do, but also the tiny little details, that are too microscopic for your view to catch... all the processes taking place beneath the surface. 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. We don't need any parallel universes, because the other options have already all happened in My mind. If you're really that curious, some day I could share them with you, but it's not actually anything you need to try out in real life. This reality, and this life, as paradox and irrational as it may seem, with all its contradictions and things that don't seem to make any sense, is, after all, the one real thing. This is it! You can and ought to really put your whole heart into it, because this is it. No use wondering what could have been or might have been in some other life or parallel world or universe or some other reality... No need to look for anything better somewhere out there. This is it, right here, the one and only, the best. You won't find anything better anywhere else. I know, it sounds hard to believe because there's so much about this world that doesn't make any sense. But most of that is inflicted by man on himself or his fellowman, and mostly due to all the screwed up mindsets the Enemy has planted in him, and the consequent lack of love and trust in Me. If you can fully trust that I'm only allowing the best possible option for you right now, here in this life, then who needs an endless amount of other variables and options to try out? There's a definite effort happening on My part and all those working alongside Me, both in the Spirit World and in the physical, including you, to make the best possible out of this. It's supposed to become a masterpiece, and not just one more random result of innumerable other trials and errors... It doesn't mean, either, that everything is preset and predestined, but that we're putting our best into helping man to make the right choices, or save him out of his mess when he made the wrong ones.

We're not just standing by idly and let the wheel of fortune spin its tale. After all, mankind wouldn't stand a chance if we just left this world over to the Devil completely. We have to give him certain leeway, access and entrance and even power over this world, according to the degree that man's choices enable him to, but always and only "thus far and not further." There's a lot of planning and strategy involved, and it's anything but random. It all grows and grows into one. It’s not just an exclusive little relationship between Me and thee and none other, but a growing thing… the Big Picture. My Picture primarily consists of living souls, tangible human beings like you – and Me, since I’ve become a Human Being for your sakes, and as some have begun to realize, that event changed everything.

Perfection is not the absence of imperfection, but the ability to integrate imperfection. I’m integrating your imperfection in My perfect picture. Of course, I’m also transforming you in the process, and through your integration and melting into My Big Picture and becoming one with it all, you actually become perfect, not of yourself, but by absorbing My essence. I have an individual plan for everyone, not just one big plan for all. In the end, each plan will work together perfectly and weave into one perfect Big Picture that will reveal itself as a Master Plan for the universe. “In the Beginning was the Word.” So, let’s have some exchange of words so that I can create My world, My part of the Big Picture in you today. This world is still in its diapers! The Big Picture is still in its imperfect, relative beginning stages, and there’s lots of room for improvement. 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. 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… 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 “stars” have the power to change My mind on certain issues, they just have to have the faith and the courage to try it – and, of course, a good alternative plan. 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… Remember not to make the frame more fancy than the picture itself. Allow the Big Picture to steal the show, and don’t allow your little frame to try to run the whole show by itself, okay? 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.

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.

What Jesus Has to Say at the Onset of the 21st Century about…

…Change

“Because they have no changes, therefore they fear not God.” – Psalm 55:19 Habits and familiarity stand between that what you are & what you could be, between what you could accomplish and that which you actually wind up doing. Everyday is a completely new chapter. Be prepared for anything, for changes. I am a God of the New. Although I, the Lord, change not, 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. He that is open to Me is open to change. He that seeks Me seeks the new. As long as you’re pleased with yourself, it’s pretty hard for Me to get you to desperately want change. Stay alert in the Spirit, and open to unexpected moves & changes, never underestimating the little things. I’m re-making you. It’s a painful process, but it will be worth it. Empty your mind, the glass of your life, completely of all that has been filling it previously, let Me give it a real good rinse, or even create a whole new vessel of it altogether, if need be, and let Me fill it. It’s time for radical changes & time to get down to serious business with Me! If something doesn’t work, I don’t seem to be blessing it, and withdraw My support, it’s time for a change. As long as everything is all comfortable, I hardly get any of My children to move. I always have to turn up the heat before they will get stirred up enough to look for a change or a different direction. Be more than conquerors by the faith which overcometh the World, faith in Me & the higher calling & destiny I’ve ordained & empowered you for. It’s going to be like flipping a switch, pressing the ”delete” button, & your former self will be remembered no more. Old things have passed away, behold, all things are made new. This is what it means to truly become a new creature in Me; that’s how drastic the difference is. Sometimes you’ve got to “get right back to where you started from”, in order to get somewhere new. If the roads you’ve been walking so far haven’t taken you to your destination, you’ve got to get back to where you started from & try again. Only remember, it’s a new era, and there are new methods & means you’re going to have to use, new songs you’re going to have to sing, and new tools you’re going to have to apply. 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? Leave the old ways behind. Come, step out into the new! Don’t stay in the old, worn out rut! As long as you still rely on yourself or 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. There's still way too much of you in that vessel! Let Me pour it out & re-fill you, renew you! Give Me the rests of your old self, let Me pour them on the ground & re-make you into something better; not a shining, glorious ornament, but a useful vessel! The Devil is trying hard to stop you from becoming a completely yielded vessel. Anything that leads you back to the comfortable path of compromise with the old path you've been trotting, is less likely to be from Me than from him. I want

you to have change. He wants you to stagnate. I say: "Launch out into the deep & forsake all that you have & I'll give you a hundred times more!" Life is exciting if you flow with My river of change! Sometimes you take what you're used to as the standard & the norm, but the closer you get to My Spirit, the more you realize that you're by far not anywhere near the top of the mountain yet, but actually have just conquered a few hills, and the real mountain is still waiting for you. The flesh sits there, self-satisfied, & pleased by its own routine. "Why, things are going just fine. I don't need any help. We've done fine so far without any extra help, and we're going to manage..." It strives against humility and against the changes I would like to bring into your life. "Oh, let's continue on here, in our nice & comfortable rut..." Walk that road toward new horizons, open doors of change, toward surrender of your own ways. 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. 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. They're really continuations & sequels of all you've learned in the days before today, but yet there's a feeling & nuance of newness & strangeness to it all. The victories of yesterday were won, but the outcome of today is still undetermined. Changes are good for you, even if they're just changes of mind, of attitudes and perspectives and direction of focus. Once you start changing, those changes usually become platforms for greater & better changes. Changes are almost always blessed by Me, especially those that require a certain amount of boldness & sacrifice on your part. As long as you keep saying "yes" to Me & My open doors, you can be assured that I'll bless you. Trust Me for the outcome. The power of habit keeps you lagging behind the way I would have you adapt to My changes . Keep praying for changes to happen. You don't like the way things are? Pray for Me to change them! You can shape your environment & change your world according to your faith. You've got to cultivate your faith, & keep it growing! You've got to keep making progress, constantly gain new territory, face new challenges, and have new changes. Radical, supernatural changes are required to make radical, supernatural progress!

What Jesus Has to Say at the Onset of the 21st Century about…

…Children & Parenting

“As a father pitieth his children, so the LORD pitieth them that fear Him.” (Ps.103:13) Out of the mouths of babes & sucklings have I ordained strength, that I might still the enemy & the avenger. I will use the voices of children to shut up the Enemy. And ‘unless you become like a little child, you shall in no wise enter the Kingdom of God, for of such is the Kingdom of Heaven.’ If you could see as I see, you would know that those apparent & seeming burdens are one of the greatest blessings, treasures & privileges ever bestowed upon you. Children are a vessel of whatever you have the faith to fill them with. They are the incarnation of the verse, ‘According to your faith be it unto you.’ If you don’t have the faith that they will become a blessing, that ‘Blessed is the man who has his quiver full of them’... It’s time you start appreciating those arrows for what they are. Not mere useless, ugly & dirty sticks that are causing you nothing but trouble, but arrows, which, when combined with the bow of My weaponry & the skill of the Archer’s hand, namely Mine, can go further than you ever have or will... It’s another trick of the Enemy, to have deluded folks into thinking that kids are a burden. Open your eyes & look beyond what you see in the flesh! Look at My unlimited potential of opportunities! Despise them not, but seek Me, for all I can do in their lives! ‘Suffer little children to come unto Me!’ Let them come unto Me & don’t be of a cold, harsh, cruel, unbelieving heart, just because you have been disappointed! Pick them up & take them back into your arms, & try again. Fight for them! Have a little more faith in Me, that I can do a miracle in their life, that they are My children, and I will lift them up. Pray for them, and I’ll show you what to do. Ask Me what you can do to bring each one back to Me! Children are an heritage of the Lord, and by rejecting this heritage, selfish people are forfeiting their heritage & their part in Me. Only the selfish dislike children. Children are a more important factor than many realize. They’re the fruit of man, although some have come to accept the concept that the fruit more worthy of bearing is their little colored papers... The love of money is the root of all evil, and if you consider money a greater & better fruit to bear than children, then you’re on the Devil’s track, not Mine! Your children will still be your heritage from Me, even long after the last bill of paper money will have gone down the drain. Welcome them with arms wide open, love them as I have loved you, and that love will never return unto you void. Even IF the Enemy gets a hold of them temporarily & twists & warps their minds & turns them against you! Let it be a test of unconditional love, like I have loved you unconditionally, even when you turned from Me. Forgive them as I have forgiven you and continue to forgive! 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. They are 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? 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. Praying is not only an essential part of love a parent should have for their child, but it’s actually the most important & effective thing you can and must do! 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. A baby is able to do nothing but trust that his mother will feed him & take care of him. A baby is a picture of perfect trust. You gotta be a baby to get a taste of that heavenly peace & trust & faith. Just trust like a baby! 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. 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. I give you everything so that you give it back to Me. If you receive everything from My hand & thank Me for it & are willing to give it back to Me every time (like the picture of a parent playing ball with a toddler: the toddler has to be willing to throw or roll the ball back to the parent, otherwise it won't work...), then you'll eventually find out that this game works, and it's actually fun, and that there's a sense to all this give & take, even though you (the toddler) may not see it at first... Children are a factor you can't just ignore. You can't just ignore the little things, the little people and the details, in favor of a big thing, or potentially big thing. I'm asking those who say they wish to follow Me, to keep straight their priorities and determine what's most important in their lives: their carnal (adult) children, or the many lost spiritual children of Mine, who might be lost forever in this life, just because you were so encumbered about with much care and worry for your physical children, who were My responsibility to begin with. You seem to be so afraid that I'm too incapable or heartless to take good care of those I have given you. Can you keep them from death? Can you keep them from prison, and the paths of darkness they have chosen for themselves in their lives? No, not by caring for them every waking hour of your life could you keep their spirits from wandering into the depths of darkness, if that's what their choice is. But I can. IF you will commit them into My hands, which will often mean, first letting them go out of your own hand & trusting Me for them. My ways are unlike your ways, and they're mysterious ways, and you don't always comprehend them. But does that mean that they cannot be good? Does that mean you know better than Me? Does that mean I have failed, I was absent or asleep when this or that bad thing happened? What do you know that I might have allowed them to be cast in prison to show you a glimpse of the countless captives in the prisons of Satan that you will never free? What if I have even allowed someone you know to die to show you a glimpse of the pain of the millions that are dying out there without the Words of life in your hands, that you and your children are taking for granted, and some even despise? What if they're out there in poverty, without a job, without money, just for Me to show you a glimpse of all the countless destitute & poor spiritually, who would long to be blessed with a fraction of the riches you've got? What if all those supposedly bad things you see Me allowing to happen to them are in reality good things that draw them closer to Me, that would wake them up from the error of their ways, if you would not attempt time and time again to protect them from My chastisements?

What Jesus Has to Say at the Onset of the 21st Century about…

…the Devil’s Devices

“Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices.” – 2Corinthians2:11 As long as you lash out at the Enemy, you’re bound to win. He’ll tell you, you have no chance, but listen not to him. As soon as he opens his mouth, a lie comes out. He may cunningly mix it with a bit of truth, so that you might believe him, and he comes across as the defender of the mistreated, the champion of the underdog, trying to get you to show weakness when you should not, and again, trying to get you to harden yourself when you should not. One thing you need to know about the nature of the Enemy is that he never plays fair. He’s the first to scream, ‘That’s not fair!’, and will be the first to break the rules. He’s a pathetic, cowardly, desperate punk who knows that his time is short, ready to tear down into the abyss as many with him as he can. I CAN make you happy! Who else knows all your heart’s desires? The Devil may be in on some of them, but he will only tempt you with counterfeits that may look like they’ll make you happy, but... I WILL! Those who cling to the old ways of the flesh are going to reap the destruction of the flesh. He that liveth by the sword shall also die by the sword. They’ll find out that they have been puppets in the hand of the god of this World, the god of war, of hate, of pride, and of all that is an abomination to Me. I want you to see right through him! He will have no power over those who will see right through him. Time will expose him for what he really is, and when he is gone, time shall be no more. I am much more loving, patient, longsuffering & positively inclined toward you, My children, than the Devil is trying to have you believe. The devil is the epitome of a politician. And the way he campaigns to gain ‘voters’ & supporters for his cause is by an ugly smear campaign against his Opponent: Me. So, he spreads all those lies about Me, about how unjust I am, how unloving, how unmerciful I am, and oh – what’s one of his favorite words?- Unfair! And subtle & sly as he is, he manages to convince quite a few with his propaganda. But don’t listen to, much less believe his rap about Me not loving you! You mean everything to Me! Don’t let the old punk tell you anything else! I love you more than you’re able to fathom. Don’t let the agents of darkness tell you you’re too insignificant, you’re not worthy & blah blah. They only have a chance the second you believe them. But if you know they are liars, and all you focus on is Me, My truth, and My promises, they know you are a greater threat to them than they have ever known. For you bear the light that will destroy them. That’s why they hate & fear you. The Enemy is the author of confusion, of self-righteousness, of contradictions, saying things but never really meaning them, much less keeping his word. The Devil is an artist of his own kind, and his art is to perfect selfishness & disguise it in a cloak & veneer of selfrighteously being convinced of the saintlihood & faultlessness of the selfish person, only able to see the faults in others. THAT’S the perfection of the art of Lucifer, that’s his masterpiece: PRIDE! He easily finds entrance into the hearts of those who don’t constantly remind themselves of how frail their foundation is when they base their lives on their own goodness. Only those who truly cast themselves entirely upon Me & My mercy & fully realize that anything good about them is nothing of their own merit, only those who truly strive to prefer others to themselves, & only those who are willing to put their own desires on the backburner in order to put Me first, only those find in Me the power to overcome him, the great tempter, the great lover of self. He that loseth his life for My sake the same shall save it. But Satan constantly reminds you of all you stand to lose: ‘No, you CAN’T give THAT much, are you CRAZY? Remember, everyone has a RIGHT to demand their MINIMUM AMOUNT OF PRIVACY!!!’ The Devil is the advocate & promoter of privacy!

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. In this day & age, the Devil has greater power to exert over the masses the pressure to conform. His subtle message is: ‘Don’t dare to be different, or you’re going to be ridiculed, you’re going to be cast out, you’ll be one of the losers!’ And the sneers, snickers & shaking of heads by those around you will only confirm it. That’s why I have called My children out of the great society, which is ruled by fear! Let their fear have no power over you, but rise above it, full of faith. Many dare to be different in the beginning, but wind up with their tail between their legs & toeing the line, saying ‘Uncle’ to the System. With others it’s only an outward show, in that they pretend to be different. The Devil has to offer some kind of superficial option to appear different, to create the illusion of freedom. But once you get a closer look you find out that difference is only skin deep. Everything’s going to be alright! Even if it seems that everything’s going all wrong, temporarily, for the Devil and his cohorts are given temporary control over this world, you will see: Everything’s going to be alright! Rejoice, for your redemption draweth nigh! Let Me restore unto you the joy of My salvation by looking at the wonderful things ahead, beyond the shadows that surround you & are so imminent. Look through the matrix of the Devil onto the greater goal behind it, My Kingdom, where nothing shall hurt or destroy. Where righteousness will cover the Earth as the waters cover the seas. Yes, troubles will come, and troubles are necessary, in order for mankind to appreciate My blessings that I will bring over them, even My rule, which they would resent otherwise. First they must see the righteousness of the Devil, before they will be able to appreciate Mine. Your Enemy would love to accuse Me of the same sins he is a master of himself, and he tries, but blessed are those who have the faith to see through his lies, who have the discernment not to trust him, but look past the apparent sense his accusations may make temporarily, expose them as lies & find Me again on the other side of the shady cloak the Devil would have tried to cast between us. ‘Shady Cloaks of Lies’ is one of the Devil’s favorite games. As soon as he spins another one – and he spins many – he looks for an appropriate victim to present it to, to see whether he can hypnotize them with it, distract them with it from the truth, the only true Center of all, the only One Who could give meaning to their lives. ‘Shady Cloaks of Lies’ – the Devil’s favorite game. Make people aware of that. It’s a fine balance to know when something becomes a distraction, or whether it’s something I want to use to draw you closer to Me, so, you’re just going to have to stay in tune with Me & make an effort to ask Me everything! Passive rebellion is a very poisonous spirit. It’s the ‘silent’ type of rebellion many young people use to ‘prove’ that they were ‘right all along.’ They try stressing your patience to the limit until you finally give in & then they can point their finger & say, ‘See? I knew it.’ Satan knows what a loss it is to Me when one of My brides is too entangled in their own matters to come to Me. Constantly focusing on the hole in the doughnut is a very dangerous trick of the Devil. It’s the opposite of the ‘glad game’: Instead of seeing the good things in a bad situation, he shows you the bad side of any good situation, makes you focus on that which keeps it from being perfect. Show Me and the world a grateful smile! But if you let the Enemy cheat you out of the joy of My blessings by failing to recognize or to acknowledge them, walking around under a cloud of doom all day because of whatever you think you’re missing out on, nobody will believe you that you’ve got anything more than what they’ve got. The god of romance, of physical love, of wanting to be loved instead of giving love is the one that has threatened to take My place in My children’s lives more than any other god, and often he has succeeded, resulting in an empty, dissatisfied life of one who has missed My highest calling & will for their life. Beware of making an idol out of any human!

Addiction to a human being can be one of the worst kind. It is an abomination in My sight for any of My children to make a god out of anything or anyone else but Me. I want to be the fulfillment of all your dreams. Your happiness is My goal, for that happiness will rub off on others. ‘That’s selfish!’ The Devil says. ‘He just wants everybody to love Him!’ Yeah, so what? Who doesn’t? At least they’re always going to get love in return, and more, much more than they could ever give, while he’s got nothing to give except for fleeting selfish pleasures & momentary delights; cheap counterfeits of My true happiness. The Devil is the greatest party pooper of all times. You have got so much more than he’s got to offer, because what you’ve got is real! It’s lasting! It’s alive, and grows & multiplies & never stops! His version is as temporal as the kicks you can buy with paper money, which will always be worth less tomorrow than it was today, and woe when the fire of testing comes! ‘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! Trust that I can satisfy you fully. Don’t let the Enemy get your focus on the hole in the doughnut & on all that you think you’re lacking & missing out on, when you’re so richly blessed! There is a great danger in not recognizing & appreciating My blessings, for usually the only way for Me to make you appreciate & acknowledge them if you’re unable to see them, is by withdrawing them & making you see them by the lack of them when they’re gone. Gratitude & thanking & praising Me is so important & such a positive force. Rebuke the Devil when he tempts you to stare at the vacuum, the emptiness, the deep black hole in the middle, that black hole of your desires. Look at Me instead, the great Giver & Filler of all things, & praise Me for all I have given you already – even if you can’t see it. But if you praise Me for it by faith, I will make it visible to you. I will let you see your blessings, which the Devil has been trying to hide from you with that shroud of self-pity, of comparing by making someone else’s blessings look so much bigger than yours... The Enemy was dealing with Me & said, ‘Sure they’re all 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 up. To show them you’ve been waiting for them. Yes, it may still 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 Devil may stand in front of you & sneer, ‘What do you think you’re going to accomplish with that tiny, ridiculous flashlight of yours, in my all-surrounding darkness?’ But he only 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 doesn’t really amount to much after all, what you’re doing. And so, he tries to distract you with personal problems, makes them look much bigger, more important, more relevant, than this ‘unimportant little light’... But, hey! Don’t let him fool you! It’s exactly the other way around: Your personal problems are tiny, unimportant & insignificant in comparison to the monumental task of flooding the Devil’s territory of darkness in My light! 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! How it pains Me when My children refuse to believe in Me, build a brick wall in the place where once there was a door to Me, a door to simple, childlike faith & simple belief & trust in Me. Brick by brick, lie by lie, blocking Me out. Break down that wall! You can’t do it with half-hearted efforts! You’ve got to put your heart & some umph into it! Break it down! It’s a sturdy, solid wall, held together with the mortar of many disappointments, frozen hard with the icy winds of disbelief; another spiritual plain, another dimension, one where I don’t exist, or where I am very far away, like a vague shadow of things long gone by – a fairy tale, like Santa Claus. And lo, there are many, countless in number, who live in that same world – one where My light never shines, but only the fake, artificial light of the usurper, Lucifer, keeps everything in a gray, hazy mist... so depressing! They don’t even have the hope of a better & brighter, more colourful world to come...! I could be the answer to all their problems, & yet, they reject Me because of the lies they’ve been told. Do you see how important your task is? For you are so few against so many! Oh, if only you had greater boldness to stand up for Me in a greater, not merely defensive way. Go on the attack! The Enemy likes to operate incognito. If you would always recognize his voice as being his, you wouldn’t fall for it nearly as often... But often his sneers come camouflaged as the voice of ‘reason’ or as your own thoughts. He persuades you very subtly to adopt his opinion & view of things, like a very smooth & diplomatic talker, who manages to talk people into his own view by making them think that his opinion is their own... ‘After all, this is what you have always thought, too, isn’t it? And it’s very reasonable indeed, when you think of it! You were right all along...’ Making something sound like your own idea, when it’s actually just his perverted way of seeing things is one of his oldest & favorite tricks! So, check your thoughts & bring them before Me: ‘Lord, is this attitude really Yours that I’m having?’ Try the spirits, especially the ones that enter your own mind! So many hear the voices of the Enemy, the voices of self-justification, or listen to the debilitating voices of doubt. The plenteous life-style has hardened the hearts of many, to where it has become as the stony ground in the parable of the sower: they hear the Word, but then the Enemy comes and takes the seed away, the birds & evil spirits of the System snatch My golden Words right off of their minds & hearts again, keeping them busy with other, trivial things to think about, and the sunshine & warmth of the comfortable lush life dries them up, sucks the life out of them & prevents them from growing roots in their hearts... Truly these lands are stony ground. And almost the whole world is infested by this disease now in one way or another, for the Whore has made drunk all nations with the wine of her fornication. You have to come with determination, boldness and desperation before My throne of grace to find mercy & help in time of need. And one important factor is not to let the Devil trick you into losing that desperation. Much is at stake here: the destiny of nations; of millions of souls either lost or won, your eternal reward or regret, according to whether you did your part that was needed to save them or not. Break through that wall of deception; the Devil’s trickery & illusion, which causes you to fail to see the truth behind the facade! Seek Me and the truth, the real picture more desperately, for you cannot rely on your own minds. You cannot rely on your eyes and on your physical senses, much less that which you deem to be your own knowledge. Your own knowledge can be worse than ignorance at times, because it closes doors that I would open. You think you can tell by your experience that a certain thing is very unlikely to happen in a certain situation or with certain people, so you don’t expect miracles anymore, you quit, you surrender, you give up. 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. The Enemy first 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. 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!’ 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 spirtual 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. 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 dissention 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. The Devil would like to sneak in & grab the glory for virtually everything that’s pleasant under the sun. What matters is whether you give Me the glory! Refuse to give it to him! I am a greater Lover than the god of this World. He only seeks to enslave them, puts them into a trance & gets them hooked on selfish lust. But I’m the only One Who renders all, Who gave to the blood – to the death. No greater love hath any man than this. Therefore, neither is there greater satisfaction, fulfillment & happiness in any other... The flesh is almost like the false identity the Enemy wants to give you; the weak, sinful & despicable you. But you can look way past that at your higher anointing & you’ll know what I’ll make you capable of. That which you can be & are in the spirit: the creation of My omnipotent hand, not the fake identity the Devil is trying to brainwash you to accept.

Refuse to accept the lower identity which the Devil & the System are trying to give you & that you render your services completely to Me. Be a fully functioning agent for My cause & don’t let them brainwash you any longer into believing & accepting the loser role he would like to put you in.

You must be watchful that those cares of life don’t choke the effect of My Word on your heart. The Devil is trying hard! The Devil is always telling mankind that I’m cheating you, just because I don’t tell you everything there is to know all at once, when he’s the biggest cheat & liar of all times – in fact, the father of lies. He’s going to appear as the great ”savior” from all My supposed injustices; I am the culprit in his version of the story, & you are all My victims... poor abused guinea pigs, who are never being told the whole truth by Me. I’m not telling you lies, he is. And in order to distract from the fact that he’s such a blatant liar, as usual, he points his crooked finger at Me, accusing Me of not telling you the whole truth. Your sample will never be perfect enough to withstand the onslaught of the Devil’s lies. No matter how good you are, you could never be perfect enough for him to stop accusing you in the ears & minds of others. Look at Me: I was the most perfect sample there ever was, and yet he was able to turn the mob against Me. Hold the reins tight & not so loosely, as that is exactly the way the Enemy can get in: by giving all that leisure, & an idle mind is his workshop. It’s the Enemy, through his tares & weeds of the cares of this life, along with his evil birds, his evil spirits that whisper doubts & lies into your mind, that I don’t speak to you anymore for whatever reason, which are subtly trying to crowd out of your life your personal time for receiving My seeds. Tear out those thorns that won’t let the seeds of My love sprout in you. Tear them out & burn them, & follow Me into My chamber, completely forgetting about the Enemy & his old World. Let him have this whole World, but let Me have you, & let yourself be full of Me! It’s wake up time! It was only a dream of a World of bondage in which you were tied down by his rules, his laws, dependency on his kingdom & his system, when in reality I’ve set you completely free! You must shed the cloud of the influence & spirit & emotion that dream would have on you, the Devil’s dream world. Don’t let the Devil’s sleeping gas put you to sleep! 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! The Devil is sooo busy distracting My children from focusing on Me. 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!” Just as My Spirit is manifested in fruits, like humility, love, patience, etc. (Gal.2:22,23), the spirit of the Devil has its manifestations of pride, self-righteousness, hatred, jealousy, envy, bickering, strife... 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. The Enemy’s subtle message always promotes the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, the pride of life. 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.

The Enemy knows who his most dangerous & potentially powerful opponents are, so he’s not going to send out his troops to attack those who are spiritually asleep, but those who are a menace & a threat to his kingdom. He’s going to try to get you to lower the standard & compromise, using as an excuse the imperfections of the others. Your flame is vulnerable, which is why the Enemy is trying to use water from within our own ranks to put it out (a trick he very frequently uses, as nothing is as effective in dissuading a rebel for My cause, as criticism & lack of support from within our own ranks!). Don’t listen to the Enemy’s voice, nor look at his distractions & decoys he comes up with as soon as you start going in the right direction, just keep looking at Me and the power I have given you to blow the Devil’s nasty illusions to bits! But some of his software is still integrated in your concept of reality. Whatever he tries to present to you as reality or relevant is absolutely irrelevant, and doesn’t stand a chance as soon as you let Me move in with My reality, that what I consider relevant & important! The Devil goes: ”Oh, but the money, and all the bills...” I say, ”Seek ye first My Kingdom & the welfare of My sheep, seek My lost souls, and all these things will be added unto you, freely!” Ever since the Garden of Eden the Devil has managed to persuade people to rather believe in his voice than Mine, because his option is usually the one which sounds more attractive! There is apparently more in it for you, if you choose the Devil’s option of disobedience. But is it really so? There seemed to be more in it for Adam & Eve to choose to eat of the forbidden tree: more knowledge, a new taste, and the serpent even said, ”Ye shall be as gods”! Now, THAT sounded interesting! But what was the reality? Curses, pain, thorns & agony ever since, in trade for paradise. What is it that makes the Devil’s option of disobedience so attractive to you? He’s that very subtle voice, apparently coming from your very own mind. What the Devil is offering you in exchange for the eternal rewards of fulfilling My highest will for you are the lazy comfort of your Home and avoiding the ridicule you might suffer, the scorn some people might have for you. And for that you’re willing to let them go down the drain forever. No chance to hear from Me, no opportunity to make that choice... The Devil always tries to find new ways to enslave people, to make them feel guilty or in some way indebted to him. 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. The Devil wants to strip you of your rights & your freedoms to serve Me, but I want you to rise above all that. 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 calling you all back to life this day, as it were from the land of the dead. The testing period that the Enemy was given to try & tempt My brides is over! The time has come to attack! You don't have to take every temptation the Devil hands you. 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 flavours, made to even "top" My natural flavours 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 & phoney, & 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. 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!" The Enemy hates My predictions & visions of the future & tries to ensure that the opposite is going to happen. His attitude is, "Oh, yeah, did God say so? Well we're going to see about that!" And he tries all he can to foil My plans. The Enemy never foresees the benefits of the backsliding he causes. He's only concerned with the temporary defeat & delay he causes. After all, he knows he can't stop Me; all he can do is try to delay Me & My plans by throwing a few monkey wrenches into My machinery, frantically trying to delay & postpone My future, because he knows the future will bring his

doom. He knows the Endtime events will trigger a chain reaction that is going to wake up & bring back to life many of those he has successfully lulled to sleep. 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. The Devil is a cunning master of propaganda & twisting things around with his lies. He'll convince the masses that black is white & white is black, before long, so, stay snuggled up to Me in My camp, instead of listening to their distortions of the truth. The Devil isn't pussyfooting around, & he'll use anyone who'll let him & who'll swallow his baloney. Is their body, their mere physical existence & its pleasures really that important to them that they're willing to completely neglect their souls & spirits for it? Are they so duped, so fascinated by all the pleasures the Devil has to offer, just like Pinocchio on "Pleasure Island", that they don't realize that Satan is making a spiritual jack-ass out of them? The Devil is trying hard to stop you from becoming a completely yielded vessel. Anything that leads you back to the comfortable path of compromise with the System & the old path you've been trotting, is less likely to be from Me than from him. I want you to have change. He wants you to stagnate. If the Devil tempts you with feelings of the comfort of the current situation "Oh, it's so nice where you are right now. You don't have to keep walking...", don't listen to him! If he tempts you with his own fake imitations of the light & says, "Oh, look over here: another light! Maybe that's the one you should follow!" - Don't listen to him. He tempted Me not only with all the riches of the World, with power, etc., if I would forsake the Father's way & go his way... Going his way would have meant to become a winner in this World, but a loser in the eternal task I was ordained to fulfill. Don't let the Enemy tempt you with anything less than My highest & best! Beware of the flesh & the pressure it would like to put you under! The rush & the fretting & fuming of thinking you must do it in your own strength! It's the Enemy trying to trick you into that, so, don't fall for it, but be assured that you won't stand a chance in the flesh! Envy is one of the Devil's weapons to suck the joy out of life. Instead of keeping you thankful for what you've got, it keeps you staring at the hole in the doughnut: "But there's something missing!" 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. Stress & pressure can be tricks of the Enemy to get you out of the gear of trusting in Me fully, and being led of Me. The Devil is an artist at making a mountain out of a molehill, he amplifies bagatelles through his magnifying glasses of excessive emotions, fears, sensitivity & the spectrum of a subjective point of view. A subjective point of view often completely fails to see the overall picture & zooms in on a tiny little issue, magnifies & amplifies it completely out of proportion until you've got a Mt. Everest of a problem, artificially inflated out of what was originally a tiny little lump or innocent blunder of the mind. Even the art of learning to love is part of the spiritual warfare, and your Enemy will always pose traps for you, in order to stop you from accomplishing the goal of loving others, and causing you to hurt them unwillingly instead... Be on guard. The Enemy will always look for an opportunity to attack & hinder, to divide & conquer and destroy your unity. Watch out for the Devil's traps! He knows where your weak spots are & when you're most vulnerable. Baal seeks to tie you down in self-condemnation, and belittling & hurting those around you. Worship of Baal, in this day & age, is more widely spread than you would think, although men don't do it consciously or are not aware of whom or what they are worshipping, just as they are not aware that they in effect worship the Devil by worshipping their own minds & intellects & yielding to their pride. You can see the worship of Baal in the way people are hurting each other and hurting themselves. He makes them hate themselves, & thus also show little or no respect to others, but only disdain & contempt instead. It is Baal who makes you look down on others, belittle them & causes you not to esteem them nor yourself. He is one of Satan's executives of the hatred & disdain he has for mankind. It's that attitude of resigning to negativity & worldliness, using bad language or hurtful words, a disrespectful attitude, caused by his criticism of the way I made you and those around you, or people in general, with all your flaws.

If you can tell where this attitude comes from, namely not from yourself, but from him, this will help you stay on guard against him. He is one of the perpetrators of hatred & violence on the Earth, one of the Devil's vilest officers, instigating strife among men, persecution and discrimination & torture, oppression by the strong against the weak... Beware of his evil inroads into your heart & mind by trying to get you to despise & look down on others, or even despise yourself and your life, which is a precious gift I have given you. He is the one mainly responsible for your not enjoying the ride of your life, not enjoying the company of others, not enjoying yourself. He constanty points at the "flaws" with which I've made you and others. 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 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. 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 the difference between the Enemy and Me: while I gave My blood to be shed for the World, he only takes. I am the Giver, he's the taker. He thinks the World is His for the taking, but the truth is that everything of value has its price, and I have paid the true price. Yes, he will also leave his place in heaven, not voluntarily, like Me, but because he will be cast out. But instead of laying down his life, he will be the greatest taker of lives there will ever have been, like I said, a murderer from the beginning (Jn.8:44). So, you do have a dangerous enemy, which is why life isn't something to be taken lightly. It's dangerous to underestimate your enemy or pretend he's not really there, to just avoid thinking about him or the threat he poses, or to wishfully think that he probably won't care too much about you, and if you leave him in peace, he'll leave you in peace, too. He hates you too much to leave you in peace, and he will either try to lull you to sleep with all his lures, hypnotism and temptations, and cause you to let your guard down, or he will ferociously attack you with all he's got. His goal is the same in either tactic: your destruction. It's up to you which way you will allow him to combat you. The slow & subtle poisoning by posing as your "friend", bringing into your life all the tempting things that will cause you to lower your guard & defence against him, or the open confrontation. There is no peace with the Devil. If there's one enemy it pays to rather fight openly and not seek a moment of truce with, it's Satan. Otherwise you'll regret it. Any moment of compromise, any moment you don't openly declare war on him and fight to the finish, will be a moment that will weaken you! You've got to be constantly on guard against him, beware of his presence as the enemy of your soul constantly, and never let down your guard, never think, "oh, well, he's not really that bad... if I just close my eyes, he'll go away & perhaps he'll ignore me if I ignore him!" You can ignore him safely by focusing on Me for your protection, that's alright. But never think that he's not there or that he's not out to destroy you. That's the mistake that some have made. They underestimated him. They figured, "oh, well, he's not really as evil or nearly as dangerous as he's always hyped up to be..." Or they figure that maybe the others were too weak, but they're strong enough to withstand his temptations. They won't give in to him. They're different... But little by little, one compromise will follow another, and he'll find your weak spot, and you can always count on him to be a real Judas & traitor & to stab you in the back when you least expect it, when you're weakest and let down your guard. It's not a vacation your on, this trip through life, but it's warfare! I have sent you out as sheep among wolves, therefore be wise as serpents - don't let him outsmart you - and harmless as doves, knowing that he may be able to destroy your body, but you will be the true conqueror in the end. Heaven just won't happen as long as the Devil is still in charge of this place! You can enjoy glimpses of it, but in order to do that, you're going to have to get rid of the Devil's garbage first, that he's piled up in your life! You need to have daily clean-ups, get rid of the Enemy's dirt first, be washed clean with My Words, before you're going to be able to enjoy that heavenly happiness. And you can feel the difference: "Now you are clean through the Words which I have spoken unto you!" Now that you've listened to My Words, which have straightened things out, made things clearer, & washed away the garbage & filth the Devil would have liked to dump in your temple of the Holy Ghost, which he will try over & over & over again to usurp.

Just like he will usurp the temple in Jerusalem in the End, so he already tries to usurp the temple of the Holy Ghost, which is your body, every day right now, and you've got to fight to keep him out! Lock out the Enemy & don't let him usurp your temple! The Devil is trying to cast you into the pit of negativity, which is where he keeps an awful lot of his captives. It's the supposedly "realistic" twist of things, or better the pessimistic twist, which always makes you see the downside, even in your blessings. The Enemy makes you see the flaws in others, or dwell on them, when you should be looking to Me and hear from Me what you could do to help them or to remedy the situation, to make a positive difference. It's also the Enemy that makes you belittle the treasure and immense blessing of the Words from Heaven and the weapons you were given. He makes people doubt the power of the keys, the effectiveness of prayer & praise, and the veracity of prophecy. Become My new creature permanently, by refusing to look at the waves of the negative reality of the Devil, and staying fully in My positive Reality! The Enemy is trying to stifle & smother communication that's spiritually edifying in any way he can. Although the physical means of communication have improved & multiplied tremendously during your life-time, you can also tell how the quality of communication has been deteriorating, as he gets people into an ever increasingly superficial & materialistic mindset. He tries to tie them up completely in the physical realm, so that they'll be too entangled to even start looking for an exit, a way to break through into the spiritual. The Enemy rules the realm in which you live right now, and I want you to be aware of his devices, so that you can fight him better & won't fall for his deceit. I'm exposing his lie with My truth. Just as I am the Way, the Truth and the Life, so he's the 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. 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 short-sightedly 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. 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. Every little progress you make, every step you take that brings you closer to Me, is a bit of new ground gained for the Kingdom, and another victory over the Enemy! Don't let him make you feel like a loser, when you're actually winning. It's one of his ugliest characteristics to constantly belittle everything & anything good you're doing or accomplishing, to belittle the miracles I'm doing, "Ahhh, that doesn't amount to much! That's only a drop in a bucket..." And thus preventing you from praising Me for what I've already done for you, attempting to keep your eye on the hole, instead of the doughnut, the need, instead of My bountiful supply. It's pretty hard to create new habits & a modus operandi that revolves around others when you've been spending so many years revolving basically around you & how you feel & making yourself feel good... That's what intoxication is all about, and any addiction that Bacchus tries to pull you away from Me with: numbing the pain, making yourself feel better. You're not willing to face whatever pain & strain life is handing you & so you take the Devil's easy way out: "Oh, you don't have to go through all this pain! Here, take this, it'll make you feel better!" And instead of handing your pain over to Me, for Me to deal with it, you cheat Me out of an opportunity to help you & manifest My power in your life, and you cheat yourself out of an opportunity to grow in faith and love for Me, because instead of allowing Me to do a miracle in your life, you rely on Satan's counterfeit solution, which isn't a solution at all. It just helps you forget or ignore the problem. What kind of a solution is that? The Enemy is pretty subtle & very quick in building new Egypts, strengthening hidden & formerly unknown parts of your "old man," & sometimes it takes time to even recognize them, which is expedient, though, in order to be able to fight them.

Relying entirely on Me and My sustenance for your living, you will come much closer to full possession & being guided by Me non-stop! Beware of the Enemy's attempts to divert you from this! He will tempt you to get back into your old rut, but you must not allow him, but stay true to this vision I'm giving you, because My sheep truly need you to be the shepherd I have ordained you to be. Any area of your life you're trying to hide from Me will be used by the Devil somehow as an area that My light isn't shining on yet, so that's where he can play his game of "Shady cloaks of lies & deceit." They who rule now will wallow in dust and ruin and lament later, while you will possess a peace and riches that remain. The Devil hates you for that, but there's nothing he can do. Keep looking at Me! Pay no mind to him! He's bluffing, cheating & lying! Zap his evil bubble of deceit! Expose him & laugh at him & ridicule him for his ludicrous attempt to stop you! I in you am so much greater than he is... he's like a tiny little dwarf in comparison. You shall see it one day, and all the world will wonder, "What? This little nincompoop has terrorized this world for so long? That ugly little dwarf? That's the one we worshiped and by whom we were awed, thinking he was so great?" It will fall like scales from their eyes, & some will laugh at this atrocity, others will cry. Satan has been given certain power to change things in order to influence your perception of things. You see the truth in a certain way, and he says, "Oh, yeah, really? Let's see if those things be so!" And he makes certain changes in order to shake your foundation, that what you perceive as the basis of your concept of everything. Hasn't this been his concept from the beginning? "Hath not God said?..." And he is very persuasive & powerful in deceiving you & trying to get you to doubt & "forget what you know" in his own way. It is good, because like this, anything you built your faith on that was not the true foundation will be eroded, and all that's left is the solid rock truth of My Word. 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. When you feel the Enemy attacking you in your mind, go on the offensive! Refuse to let him play his dirty games with you! One of the Enemy's favorite tricks is to blow your problems way out of proportion, just like Don Quixote's wind mills, that you hardly see anything else. You don't see the progress you've already made, you only see the huge mountain & obstacle blocking your way. The Enemy tricked you into thinking that you weren't good enough for Me. He does it very subtly, and it's not even consciously in your mind that you think these things when you're depressed, otherwise it would be too obviously the Enemy. It's more like an underlying feeling. Demonic influences & oppressions not only manifest themselves through thoughts in your mind, but also emotions, feelings, moods... the whole spectrum of your inner being. Endurance means, you don't have to swallow the Devil's lies telling you that I'm giving you more than you can bear. And vigilance means you can recognize the Devil's tricks & attempts to trap you so that you won't fall for them. If I had to 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. 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. 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! 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!" 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.

The Enemy of your soul is very sly and knows how to make his lies extremely attractive. People tend to think that they would never be as dumb as Adam and Eve to allow themselves to fall for the Devil's lies, but that's already the first lie they swallowed right there: "Oh, I'm never gonna be that dumb!" Well, you might have another surprise coming on that one, when you'll find out one day how often and how easily you fell for the Devil's fairy-tales! The Devil has invented many devices and inhibitions to stop humans from reaching out to each other. The fear of "what the other might think of me," pride, false mental pictures and perceptions of each other, also called prejudice, even laziness, because it takes a certain amount of effort to get to know someone... The Enemy is trying to subvert & divert your attention from the spiritual to the physical, to where you become so enwrapped and enticed by the physical blessing, that you neglect the spiritual. The Devil always sees the negative and the bad in people, he's the constant accuser of the saints. That which I have called holy and sanctified, he has the audacity to call unclean, accusing you of ulterior motives, when love is the perfect motivation. He hates love, because love is what I am, and he hates everything that goes along with it, and tries to besmirch it with his ugly way of looking at things, be it sex or the need to give, the need to be needed, the need for sympathy, or plain unselfish giving. He teaches his followers that it's "idiotic" to give, when they could keep it for themselves. But only those who look beyond and have greater wisdom than those who fall for Satan's lies, see the greater blessing & the greater, hidden reward beyond the apparent loss of the thing you gave away. If you doubt My Word in one aspect, the Enemy will soon offer and suggest more compromises for you to make, more disobediences he makes you think you can get away with... One of the easiest & smartest ways for him to get My children trapped in the cage of disobedience is by telling them that it's actually freedom... after all, it's their own will that got them there, not the seeming, apparent confines that lie in keeping My commandments & performing My will, no, the apparent freedom of doing your own thing. The Devil will always try to get you to not "feel like it" when it comes to doing something good, something that counts for Me. The art is not to pay any attention to him, to ignore your feelings & do it anyway. The Devil will try to deceive you into believing 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?" Instead of 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..." Don't let the Devil cheat you out of the joy of your reward by his twistings & turnings! The twisting & wiggling snake! It gives you peace & a feeling of victory & satisfaction to know you have him exposed! You've got his number, you know where he's at, you've got him down pat & he can't fool you anymore, pull no more wool over your eyes! See him wiggle & wind! Clobber him good & hard, so he'll think twice before creeping into your door next time! All My truly greats of faith, although Satan had desired to have them, in the end turned out to be way more than he could handle, and they all defeated him. One of the smartest tricks the Devil ever pulled was convincing the majority that he doesn't exist. But even fewer people recognize the extent to which he is invading their own homes, lives & families. Cloaking & 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. The Devil tries to scare you that you might lose something through honesty, but you're only going to gain from it. 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! There is no peace with the Enemy.

Beware of the flatteries of the Enemy! When he sees that he can't hold you down anymore with condemnation, he'll try the opposite tactic where he'll flatter you & will try to get you so lifted up about yourself that you'll think there's no way you could possibly ever do anything wrong, until reality -or I - jerk that rug of wishful thinking away from under your feet. The Devil is like a terrorist who has unrightfully taken over the land as a usurper, just like the Jews have taken over Israel or former Palestine by acts of terrorism, having duped the people - just like the Devil - into thinking that their enemies are actually the terrorists. If the smartest thing he ever did was duping people into believing that he doesn't exist, the next smartest thing he did was tricking people into believing that his enemies are the culprits, terrorists or "bad guys," which he is perfecting right now through besmirching the image of My followers on a global scale, by having infiltrated and deceived them, or having impostors pose as Christians, who are really working for his side, or by tempting them and afterwards accusing them to the world. It's the same diabolically clever plan he used since the beginning of history, from Esther's time to Nero accusing the Christians of burning Rome, and on down the line. The Enemy is by no means a fair opponent who abides by the rules. He is ruled by hatred, and he wants to destroy you by any means, rules or no rules. He knows he'll be disqualified & barred from the game sooner or later, anyway, so his only objective is to cause as much harm and destroy as much as possible while he can, that's why he is called the Destroyer in My Word. (Jer.4:7, 1.Cor.10:10) As you know from the story of Job, it's usually your Enemy who's responsible for, or involved with a lot of what happened. Like the evil old man, Mr. Potter, in "It's A Wonderful Life," who unbeknownst to the hero of the story found his money & kept it, and thus caused many problems & trials... that's the way the Devil works, too. He sees an opportunity to work his evil plan, to exploit others in order to spread out his power & convert innocent villages, homes and entire countries into one big "Pottersville." I don't want My children to be ignorant of his devices. You may know about how his people work in order to gain control over the world. But it's even more important for you to know what his tricks are that he uses to gain entrance into your lives every day, how he sows his evil seeds of division & tries to divide & conquer! Just like Potter stole the money in the movie, he sees where you're forgetting about the important detail of applying your spiritual wealth & riches. Once you start withholding, the Enemy tries to get you to make a habit out of it. You must dispel the lies of the Enemy about what others think of you. That's one of his "Mr. Potter" schemes you're not aware of, but you must be: he steals your faith, your unity and your love for each other by sowing lies and having you swallow them, and you often don't even realize what happened! He stole the "money," the riches of My love that I gave you for each other, by using innocent little blunders & blowing them way out of proportion, creating a major crisis out of them. You must expose the Devil's workings! You have to expose the evil "Mr. Potter" at work & show him up for what he really is! He uses innocent little blunders of the mind, little neglects & shortcomings that everybody is prone to, and creates a huge crisis out of them that makes you feel and think that nobody loves you and you're just a useless failure and the best thing would be that you had never been born, etc., ready to jump off the bridge. Thankfully, I've got My "Clarences," My angels, jumping into the situation to set things straight, to help you out, and to straighten out your misguided view & perception of things. That movie is really a blueprint for what's happening in many people's lives, of how the Devil manages to discourage and belittle them in their own eyes... That's why it's so important that you constantly encourage each other, let each other know how much you love and need each other, & don't give any place to the Devil and his dirty lies trying to destroy your faith, your unity & your positive outlook on life! Satan totally twists things & turns them upside down, inside out & makes things appear as the reverse & opposite of what they really are! Some things can be dangerous distractions from the Enemy to get you off the wall of the work that I want you to do, and he doesn't hesitate to pull the meanest tricks & plays real dirty! You need to learn to resist the emotional lies he's trying to hand you. The Devil will use anything to deceive you, and if he even uses My Word by twisting it and falsely re-interpreting it, as he tried when he tempted Me, how much more so will he be able to use your feelings to deceive you! 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!

You can't afford to be indifferent nor self-satisfied! That's exactly what the Enemy will shoot for, to get you to not rely on Me, but just float around on an elusive & deceptive cloud of false security that somehow you're gonna manage. But chances are you aren't gonna manage unless you call Me for help! Deception is one of the Devil's big trips, and to be able to recognize his illusions is half the victory. The Devil gives strength to the rulers and champions of the darkness of this world. If you see the source of comparing as a trick & a deception of the Enemy to keep you from being content with what you have & what you are, so you won't even start finding out what it is that you can do to make things better, then you actually start living. What Satan has stolen from mankind is the trust that I knew exactly what I was doing by making each one what they are. One of the most dangerous tricks of the Devil, and one he uses most frequently and most successfully with My people is 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. 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! You've got to realize how ferociously the Enemy fights you! There's no way you can afford to be indifferent or half-hearted about it! I want you to be on guard & not ignorant of his devices. Don't let the Enemy distract you from the most important thing in life. If you leave a back door open for the Enemy through which he can enter, you have to count on the fact that it won't be necessarily you he's going to be attacking, but the victims are going to be the weaker ones. So, in order to protect the weaker members of your family, you need to keep all gates & doors & loopholes shut, through which the Enemy might find entrance! He's always going to attack the weakest member first, and then, by having attacked them, he's going to strike a blow from within that's also going to weaken you, and thus he has a chance to get at you, too. 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. For many, worldly success has become a deadly distraction and a snare (1.Tim.6:10). Exposing the tricks the Enemy pulls in order to sneakily rebuild your old man, shows that if you don't watch it, that old man is going to creep up again, and before you know it, you'll find yourself stuck in a new Egypt the Enemy helped you build in your life. The Devil fights to make you forget all that you're learning from Me, & it's a little bit like having to start all over again from scratch every morning. It's your choice whether you want to do what you can to help your brothers & sisters 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!" Chaos is 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! 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... The Enemy is 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 Enemy is very subtle, & if he can't get you to think bad thoughts or speak downright bad words, he'll try to get you to say some idle word or think something that's not blatantly evil or negative, but vain, idle, of no positive, constructive effect. He tries to have you stay "neutral." Not downright bad, but also not good. In other words, doing nothing to further & advance My Cause & Kingdom. Jealousy is like a poisonous cocktail of sins mixed into one, so, it's a very potent device of the Enemy. He has managed to persuade some to perceive it as a virtue instead of a sin and a curse... which is why not many people have begun to tackle it, to expose it or to help each other to overcome it. I'm exposing the greatest thief of all, the Devil, who's constantly robbing people of their most precious gifts & opportunities in the spiritual realm. The Enemy will try to keep you from doing My highest & best, using all kinds of tricks & distractions and whatever he can think of to keep you from doing the most important, the most urgent & necessary thing. It's not difficult to disobey My voice, as you find out from the story of Adam & Eve in the Garden! It didn't take the Devil a lot of persuasion. The only question is, have you been falling for his lies & his tricks enough times to have learned the lesson of what truly is best for you, to be able to resist his temptations? Or are you still not any smarter, any wiser, & still fall for his input, his version of the story, his alternative, his compromise? Just like I'm providing an alternative for people to drop out of his kingdom & servitude to him, so he presents you with his alternative to keep you from serving Me. Often it's a reasonable sounding compromise. "Hey, you don't have to do this dreadful thing that God is asking of you. Look over here, you can do it like this, & you'll still get by... You don't have to necessarily obey Him in everything He says....!" The fake blessings of the Devil 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." They're going to find out that they have been fooled by the greatest fool of all, the great impostor. 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. Ask Me to help you stay "on fire" for Me! Guard that flame, & don't take it for granted. Don't allow Satan to blow it out! Beware of the flood of lies he tries to use to put out your fire, both, lies of the System, as well as the subtle little lies he tries to implant directly in your minds. 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. A lot of people are allowing the Devil to steal away from them many an opportunity for them to see & glorify Me in things that they are afraid of & think are evil, and many an opportunity to use these things as a witness. The Devil scares people half out of their wits of being different in any way. That's his way of making sure that everybody will dance according to his tune. What he calls popular shall be popular, what he calls "in" will be "in," and what he declares to be the rules and the law, will be the rules and the law, by the sheer force of fear of being different, despised & ridiculed. Fear is Satan's biggest weapon to control the masses. Sometimes the enemy has to be exposed first before you even know who you're fighting against. Sometimes he has to be allowed to get under your skin, so that you realize how dangerous he can be, how much damage he can cause, and for you to determine that you're not going to allow him & let him get away with it. How can I teach you to fight without a battle? The Enemy is right there, right in your own midst, and you have to learn to realize how he manipulates your pride, your selfishness, your desires of the flesh, your laziness, your addictions & your

worldliness, in order to become alert enough to go on the attack against him, instead of continuing in a state of truce and peaceful coexistence with him. The prince of the power of the air and god of this world with all his host - physical and spiritual - is your enemy, and he'll try everything he can to stop you from succeeding in spreading My message. That's why you must pray vehemently against him, for he influences the weather, he influences his followers on earth to mean you harm, to turn the odds against you in any way he can, but if you stay close to Me and do what you can in order to defeat him, to get ahold of Me and My protection, you'll see that in spite of all his efforts, you will still win. You can't just let him pull his tricks and do nothing about it! Don't make the mistake of not recognizing your enemies, and underestimating them. The Devil is capable of doing anything except those things you ask Me to stop him from doing. The god of forces is on your heels as Pharaoh's armies were after Moses & the children of Israel before the Red sea. When you "wade in the water," remember that it will have been I who has delivered you from their attempts to wipe you out & cause you to fail! The Devil's goal is to limit everyone. Subtly, he does so under a cloak & pretense of "liberating" them from the supposed narrow-mindedness of Christianity and conservative religionism. He pretends to be their liberator, when he's really the limiter. I'm the one who opens the lid & stretches the horizon beyond limits, but he always tries to put it back on & keep everyone boiling inside his kettle. The Devil's trying to exert pressure on you from the outside to bluff you into believing that circumstances still have power over you. He reminds you, "But what about this... and what about that? Shouldn't you be worried about this thing and that?..." He knows that if I can get you to truly and fully trust in Me, He won't have any chance whatsoever to control or manipulate or influence you in any way. The Devil realized that it's much easier to corrupt people by that constant flow of wealth, than by poverty. Poverty will make them desperate, will make them return to Me and pray, will make them appreciate whatever little thing they've got. But constant wealth will make them despise nearly everything and take it for granted. It makes you lose the power & will to fight the very fight of life. Part of the Devil's plan is to show that his is the "true" path of peace and love, whereas those who claim to have it, namely the Christians, are utterly failing at delivering the goods. The inability to be content in whatever state you're in is one of the Enemy's devices to keep you ever looking, ever longing for something else to fill your "need for something" with, instead of just praising Me for what you've already got and enjoying it. 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. The Devil hates the Earth. He knows it's going to be My heavenly HQ for eternity, and so he does his best to destroy it. 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. The Devil's technique is called "isolation tactic." He sows division through his lies and manipulations in order to separate you from the body, and then he'll attack you when you're weakened in your convictions, faith & confidence. Like a bunch of hyenas, circling their prey & driving it away from the herd. There is an answer to everything. Whereas the Devil keeps trying to brainwash people with his philosophy of eternal insecurity and confusion: "We don't know whether there is an answer, because everything is relative, & blah, blah, blah." "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. 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. 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! The Devil is creating mental blocks and phantoms between people, and all those differences. Let them fade away like the illusions that they are! Remove the false layers of the imaginations of the evil one and discover the real and true common ground, the bottom layer, the true foundation, which is Me! Even though the Enemy is the one who tempts them and seduces them into evil, it's ultimately people's choices to succumb to those temptations that bring evil into the world. Without cleverly gaining people's co-operation, there wouldn't be much the Enemy could do. The Devil will always try to distract you from either your personal time with Me, or the time you spend and invest in giving Me and My Word to others. He's always trying to put some god in your life before Me; be it Mammon or pleasure, your own comfort... even food, or intellectual input. He knows you're easily going to detect his tricks, especially as soon as you go overboard on something & obviously exaggerate, & thus he's trying to distract you with a little bit of everything: a little bit of materialism, a little bit of maintaining your image, a little bit of fun. He knows he can't tempt you with blatant sin, so he'll tempt you with subtle & potential sin. The Devil is waiting and watching, cunningly trying to manipulate things & trying to lead things up to some unguarded moment... Usually when you're low on physical and spiritual energies & tuckered out, exhausted & you feel like now you have a right to let it all hang out, to just relax & even be a little selfish, that's when he's got a chance to come in. 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. 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! 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! 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... 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.

The Devil tries to deceive you into thinking that you're still under the curse, and thus everything appears to be cursed. But I have blessed your life with My Salvation, lifted the curse from the lives of those who have received Me, who accepted My sacrifice for them, those who absorb My existence. The contrast of the picture portrayed against the background of evil will help everyone to see clearly. Evil will teach mankind and all of creation a vital lesson, just as dung and fertilizer will bring about better results in a crop. It's a necessary part of the work; ask any farmer. The Enemy will always do precisely what he knows will stop you from making progress in the particular area I want you to make progress in. 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. Humility is a gift. How badly do you want it? How important is it to you? If you really treasure it as something valuable, then you won't let the Enemy steal it away from you by tempting you to feel superior, or to ridicule others, or to play that tit for tat game of pride, of they reject you, so you reject them. That's the Enemy's goal, to kill your love for them, so that you won't ever even start reaching out to them, to try to win them to Me. The Enemy will try to drive the biggest possible wedge he can between you and those I want you to reach. He tries to persuade you that it's pointless and useless to even try to win them. That's where you're going to have to decide whether you're going to believe him or Me. The Enemy knows what tricks he needs to pull out in order to slow you down & tempt you to give up, to say, "it's no use." He knows a lot about you and your weaknesses, and what you're the least likely to be able to handle. Well, that's his job for Me: to test you & find out which your weak areas are, and what it will take to get you to give up. If nothing can cause you to give up, then this means you tested "negative" to any infection with his virus of the loathsome Giving Up disease. But sometimes you've got to build a resistance to a disease or virus first. You've got to recognize what you're up against, what his weakening tactics are, and for this you need to have experienced the symptoms first, and have been confronted with the virus & the disease. That's why the theory of Evolution was such a success for the Devil: he always likes to show people the possibility that they may have been wrong from the very beginning. Once he has weakened your faith in the very basis and foundations of your beliefs and faith, soon there will be no stopping point. The Enemy will go about with the same tactics he uses to destroy worldly families, and try to sow division and dissention between you. But that's where you've got to fight. Do something in order to prevent it from happening: fight. Refuse to believe the Devil's input of "it's no use anyways!" He tries to overwhelm you with problems and obstacles, things that aren't right, that he instigated and planted in the first place. But you must not allow them to persuade you to quit! That's all Satan really has to offer: the lie, the illusion, that which man thinks he knows. The knowledge of evil that Satan brought into the world, is nothing but an illusion; a lie; a deception. They may think it's fact, and they may call what they consider knowledge or reality, but reality as I know it is something quite different. 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. 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. 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! 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. 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. Finding out that you're not quite as righteous as you thought is a rare and precious gift. It's like discovering another place on your "system" you weren't aware of before, where the enemy sometimes likes to hide his agents & where he can work in the dark, undetected. But not any longer, if from now on you will choose to be aware of this device of his, this technique & variety of self-righteousness. All the Enemy can actually do is try to have you believe something that's not true. Oh, he'll mix in some emotions in order to give more weight to his lies and make them sound more true, but ultimately it all comes down to your personal choice whether you're going to fall for it or not. And choosing not to is as simple as saying "no." You just say "yes" to Me, "yes, I believe You, Lord," and "no" to him, that's all, especially in a situation where he'll try to use condemnation. My love for you is greater than all: greater than the impact of your sin, and certainly greater than the Devil's justice or his desire to see you prosecuted and judged for anything you may be guilty of. I'm your Defense Attorney, here to protect you from the incessant accusations of the Accuser of the Saints, especially to yourselves. If he manages to make you feel guilty and hopeless, and you're just about to surrender and agree with him, ready to concede to his verdict, I'll step in & say, "Objection!" I see things differently. I see all the background circumstances, conditions and reasons that caused you to sin and to fail, and I am ready to pardon. I will turn the Devil's evil into My good. It is the fuel that I use to combust it and convert it into My clean and powerful energy. I virtually thrive and power My motor on the combustion of evil. For where sin doeth abound, there grace doeth much more abound. Anything the Devil can do is only fuel for My motor. All the Devil accomplishes through his rantings and ravings is produce more fuel to keep My machine moving toward the completion of My plan and Big Picture. Remember to give Me the first place. Otherwise the Enemy is going to try to paint his picture and his colors onto the canvas of your day, and it ain't pretty! He's trying to ruin My picture, the picture I would make out of your day, just like he's trying to make something ugly out of My entire creation, My big picture (Prov.29:18). 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. 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!

The old man, your carnal man, is 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. 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. The Enemy will do and try anything to smother your effectiveness for Me. He will try today. He will try tomorrow! He will try everyday. Not just once, not just twice, but many times. He will try through friend or foe, and, unfortunately, he more often succeeds through your friends to get you to compromise. 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. The Enemy always makes what you’ve already got look like nothing, compared to all the elusive things he would offer you, ever since Adam and Eve in the Garden. They didn’t know they were living under the most perfect circumstances possible right there, they fell for Satan’s lie that there was something better than that, which I was withholding from them. What makes you think the devil’s got any control? He may exert some control over his, but in the end, I’m the One 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 allow it, if you’re in tune with Me. 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. The Devil is a good advocate when it comes to rooting for his own cause and advertising his own righteousness, which he figures is so superior to Mine... And he anoints his people with his mantle of apparent righteousness and justice, his shining examples of what he would call "good," and his idea of righteousness and perfection... The Enemy will attempt to distract you from your goal and vision by planting ideas and desires in your mind of things you'll want, some of which will sound good and reasonable, but will only be second best & will divert you from the task of living for others. 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. Real life comes from the Spirit - the flesh profiteth nothing, it doesn't avail much, when it comes to making happiness last. The Enemy seeks to cheat you out of it, by telling you that you've got to earn it, work it up, etc. But happiness can't be bought. It is only received in finding Me and learning to let Me do through you the things that will bring happiness to others. 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! 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 people and lure them away from what is really relevant. Some people 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..." The Enemy tries to put you back on a spiritual chain, once you return to the stake of the flesh, and he doesn't want to let you go again. And I purposely allow you to stay down there and experience how tough it can be to get back out of the groove of 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. My joy comes from caring for others. That's one reason why the Devil tries so hard to discourage anyone from even starting to serve Me and live for others. He knows that they might start liking it, and that it could cause some kind of a snowballing effect that he might not be able to stop. The Enemy is trying to get you to carry the burden yourself. But your primary responsibility is to pray and ask Me for help, not to try and carry the load yourself! 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.

Backsliders and apostates are sometimes capable of greater evil than those who never found Me. The Devil makes them mad at the unconditional forgiveness they received in their salvation, and they want to prove that they're not worthy of it, that it was a mistake for Me to ever grant them that salvation. The Devil uses them to show what a "fool" I was, in his eyes, to ever save them in the first place, and die for them. There is no other way to overcome your Enemy than by getting to know him, his tactics, his schemes, his ways of operating. Those who choose to basically remain oblivious to his very existence, much less get to know his modus operandi, will look a lot worse when the final battle and clinch comes. You have to learn to be able to recognize the Enemy at work in the circumstances he uses and manipulates, never losing site of the fact that if I allow it in the first place, then there must be a good purpose in it.

What Jesus Has to Say at the Onset of the 21st Century about…

…Faith & Trust

“This is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith..” –1John 5:4 Keep trusting! Keep relying on Me, and this will help you to give Me all the glory, as you will see so clearly how I have done it for you. 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. 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. It requires faith to set your affections on things above. Faith which is acquired by faithful intake of My Word. 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. 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. That little spark & ember of faith, insignificant 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! ‘Rational’ thinking won’t help you survive in the days to come, only crazy faith in Me & following My leads, which means obedience. You need faith which can see beyond that which meets the eye. Faith which sees My creation, the potential a person has to

become something greater. Look not at that which you see with your eyes. See the possibilities! See My hand working in their lives! Look at Me! Don’t look at the flesh! Waver no more. A lot depends on YOU. You must take the initiative! If you had perfect faith, nothing wavering, I wouldn’t have to test your faith anymore. Trust in Me, the Leader & Captain of your team, and you’ll play safe. You, My children of David, are more blessed than any other group of people alive on Earth, because you have been given the awareness of your greater, heavenly Family around you. ‘The Family’ is not only that relatively small Earthly group of believers, but a much larger entity, a body consisting of countless members behind the curtain which separates your realm & ours. You are just the tip of the iceberg. The secret, hidden real force of this army lies beneath the surface, or rather, above the wavelength of that which is perceivable to mortals. Let this boost your confidence a little bit, next time you feel prone to feel inferior. You, yes, tiny little you, are part of the most powerful gang in the universe, the one who’s getting ready to rule & run the joint for good, & you’re in touch with the ‘Boss’, the Man on the top! Worry not about your situation. It couldn’t possibly be as ‘impossible’ as the odds for this universe to function by itself. And if I and the Father take care of the endless empty spaces out there; don’t worry, we’re also going to take care of you. ‘The strongest arms in the universe have promised you their care!’ Let Me carry you above all the waves the storms are whipping up. The sea beneath you is seething & foaming, a black, menacing brew. But you are safe in the palm of My hand, little bird! And you sing on, in spite of the storm. You’ll experience first hand My peace in the center & the eye of the storm. As those on your left & on your right are falling prey to confusion, you, unafraid, as one who has got nothing to lose, can rest tranquilly & peacefully in My palm. It’s expedient for you to operate fully by faith. It’s the only way you’re going to survive. Let faith in Me & My Words be your currency. And prove Me now herewith if I will not open unto you the windows of heaven & pour forth such a blessing that there shall not be room enough to hold it. Only few have the faith ascribed to Job, who can say, ‘Even if it looks as if God is breaking His Word & breaking His promise to Me, I will still trust Him!’ Now is the time of faith, to take things by faith, even though you don’t see or understand every aspect of everything involved. Blessed are they who, not seeing, yet believe. So, take My blessing by faith. Know that it is there, even if you don’t see it or feel it, just take My Word for it. Don’t just accept facts with your brain, but come to know with the tacit knowing of faith, so you learn to apply the information adequately, and the right bits at the right time. That’s when believing becomes seeing and faith becomes knowing. I’m there all the time. If you only had a notion of how present I am. How real. Become Christ-conscious! Become more conscious of Me! Focus not on the things at hand, focus on Me, & the things at hand will take on 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! There’s always more of Me & what I give is only limited by what you can handle. Trust Me that you are just what & who & where you were meant to be. The currency of true faith will buy you what you need when paper money will be nothing but sad history. Be not afraid of the fire, but delight in it, as it serves no other purpose than your purification. It won’t burn or hurt you. Faith is the solid foundation I want you to build for your spiritual Home. Make yourselves cozy in the secret place of the Most High! I’ll be better to you than a known path or anything else you’ve ever known before! Just trust Me, inhabit Me & let Me inhabit you! I long to be & live & dwell & move in you, and I long for you to dwell in Me! Look & see with the eyes of My Spirit! Look not at the waves & the wind! Look at Me! I’ll be your ship, your vessel, & I’ll carry you safely Home! 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! Toss all your worries & excess weight over board! 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. 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. Faith acts content in the face of adversity because it knows it already has & owns the fulfillment of the promise right now. You hold the title deed in your hands. You may still look like a pauper, but you’re on your way to the bank with the title deed, and when you get there, you’ll be a rich man. Trust Me, that I’ve blessed you with riches, even when you can’t see them. Take My Word for it. Trust in My Words even when you don’t feel like it. Aah, that’s when I like those tests the best, during those times when you don’t feel like it, because it shows Me you’re willing to defy natural circumstances; to be cheerful in spite of the way you feel. Act by faith, knowing that I can & will do it! Act as if it’s gonna happen and it’s gonna happen! Don’t forget your umbrella when you ask Me for rain! I’m tossing you into the water & you’ll only be able to breathe by My miracle-working power. Throw yourself completely on Me! I will carry you! 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! The desired results of all I’m doing in your lives is each of you becoming that person I want you to be: a person that is close to Me, that trusts Me, that relies on nothing but Me and that won’t be shaken because you stand on Me, the firm foundation, clings to Me, the Author & finisher, and is satisfied by Me, the great Filler of all things. The instability of your situation is engineered by My hand in order for you to make Me the Stabilizer of your lives, the only factor that always remains & around which everything revolves. You’re standing right in front of this mountain wondering how you’re going to make it. Well, you’ll make it the same way you made it this far: by trusting in Me, not yourself, relying on Me as your Guide, holding My hand & heeding My voice & obeying My instructions. If there was no hope for you to ever make it, I wouldn’t present you with this challenge! 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. ‘Walk by faith, not by sight.’ Faith is more important than knowledge. Faith is the driving power that compels you to do something for Me, whereas knowledge can sometimes leave you cold, a passive observer of what’s happening. Just take whatever comes your way, trusting in it from the Romans 8:28 angle, giving Me thanks in all things, even IF the

Devil did bring it! Sometimes you’ve gotta have some guts to grab the spoils of Egypt. If you’re too scared about whether it’s really politically correct to do this or accept that, there goes another lost opportunity. Blessed are the poor in spirit. Blessed are the humble, the thankful, those who grab it by faith & thank Me for it, no matter where it came from. It’s only pride that makes things complicated. Do you trust Me? I know you still have some doubts & fears & worries. I’m not expecting perfect trust for starters, but we need to get there & make progress in eliminating your doubts & fears & replace them with more & more faith & trust. Do you trust Me fully, that I’ve got your life in My hands? I want you to become a sample of utter trust first of all, before you go out & preach something you can’t even really practice yourself yet. I’m establishing a ”trusting in the Lord completely” mode in you. You’ve just got to learn to trust Me! You’ve got to trust Me blindly, even if it looks like it’s a dead end street I’m leading you into. Trust that I will make a way where there is no way! If you’re going to trust Me for the situation I put you in, then trust Me fully & in every aspect, that I know what I’m doing. Trust Me, the great Head Doctor, that My diagnose is correct & My prescription to attack the problem is the right one. Things might get worse temporarily, but trust Me; that’s the only way they’re ever going to get better. I’m teaching you to trust Me more & less in the arm of the flesh, and the Devil is going to test you along those lines: ”Are you sure you’re still going to trust Him? Looks like He’s leaving you hanging in the air...” I’m not incapable of caring for you, just because the Devil is tempting you a little & the System is turning the heat on. Just remember Who’s in charge & relax. 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! 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.” Faith is a drawing power, a vacuum, & when that vacuum has been replaced by a fullness of other things than My Word, My Spirit & My input, then the Word & My Spirit & input have simply been crowded out of their lives. How do you lose the faith? By neglecting the Word. It all boils down to the Word, or a lack of intake of the same. Without faith it is impossible to please Me... You’re either the servant of faith or the servant of fear. Life can be so beautiful if you see with the eyes of faith. Nervousness comes from relying on the flesh... Trust & confidence come from relying on Me. You don’t have to do it, all you have to do is trust Me. You don’t have to worry, or bear the burden... just trust Me! Commit it into My care! ”Command ye Me!” (Is.45:11) I’m going to take care of it all as long as you continue leaning on My everlasting arms. I want you to fully experience My greatness; I want your faith to grow. I want you to stand back in awe at the wonders you’re yet to behold from My hand. I want you to revel in My love for you! I want you to never doubt My love for you again! Please, don’t, for it pains Me! No matter what it is that worries you... whether it be the past, the present or the future... just let My love soak it all up & absorb every worry. 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 all amounts to the old issue whom you’re going to believe, in whom you’re going to put your faith, trust & confidence: in yourself & your really limited amount of knowledge of yourself & all things, or in Me... As soon as you cast the burden on Me, it will leave your tiny shoulders & it will be on Mine, which are quite a lot more capable, and the matter is resolved; I don’t want you to worry about it anymore. I want you to instantly convert every worry into a prayer. Your initial ideal reaction to every problem you encounter in life should be to give it to Me & trust!

What Jesus Has to Say at the Onset of the 21st Century about…

…Flesh vs. Spirit

“It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing.” –John 6:63 Learn to operate more in the Spirit & lean less on the arm of the flesh. 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. I use those times you’re frustrated by your own inability to get anything accomplished in your own strength. That’s what reminds you of your need for Me. Always make sure that what you’ve got to say comes from Me & isn’t just your own opinion or assumption. I have called you to spiritual accomplishments, not great works in the physical realm. The unseen, unnoticed work you do for Me, to further My cause, to spread My message, THAT has eternal rewards! I’m teaching you to think in a completely different & new way than the way you have been raised in before. ‘Rational’ thinking won’t help you survive in the days to come, only crazy faith in Me & following My leads. Don’t listen to your head, listen to your heart. Your head says, you’ve got to do this or that or the other in order to fulfill your duty, so that men will speak & think well of you. Your heart says, just listen to the Lord! Forget all that & just love the Lord, and He will work out the rest. Your head says, oh, but there’s bills to pay, shopping to be done and this & that & the other... The heart says: There’s listening to be done, there are Words to be heard from the Maker of the universe, Words from the mountain! Those who cling to the old ways of the flesh are going to reap the destruction of the flesh. A lot of My children are still operating too much in the flesh, leaning too hard on the arm of the flesh! True satisfaction comes from a place which eludes the carnal mind, and you sometimes have to do the opposite of the expected to get there. Never before has the human mind been so drilled & conditioned by the input of the Enemy, for he has much greater platforms & means of implanting his thoughts into human minds than ever before, through the media & education. There’s a lot more I have to get past first. Once you have learned to put the fleshly way of thinking aside, & let My Spirit take over, then I’m able to teach you to lay the foundation for communication with Me. Sometimes the opposite of what appears to the carnal mind, is actually the truth. Those who don’t have the oil of My Spirit in their lamps only see the apparent evil. They have been bewitched by their glamour to reject My power. Why do you subject yourselves into the hands of the powers that rule the physical & temporal realm, who seek to use you as pawns in their game, when you are destined to become My rulers of the eternal realm? Come, My children, & forsake those fleeting pleasures today, ‘having food & raiment, let us therewith be content’, learning to be ‘content in whatsoever state’, and find out about the thrills of the REAL winners & champions of the universe. Why lean on the arm of the flesh? Wise are those who are weak in their own sight & run to Me for strength & protection. Foolish are they who think they’re strong enough to save themselves. Wise are they who take My Words to heart. Foolish are they who only trust in their own minds. Thus it has been from the beginning, and thus it shall be until the end. The battle royal between those who trust in the flesh & those who put their confidence in the Spirit; those who choose Me for their Captain and those who choose to be the captains of their own fate; the former will sail their boats safely into My harbor; the latter, in their blind rage of pride and ego will crash into an iceberg, like the Titanic, & great will be the calamity & the cries of woe thereof. Many are called, but few choose to learn out of the lessons & experiences I bring into their lives. Many simply prefer to heed the lies of the majority. They think with a carnal mind & see with the eyes of the flesh: the sheer size of the majority, the size & apparent strength of it appeals to them, and they want to be part of it, part of the ‘in-crowd’. They seek to

impress, they don’t want to be humiliated. Beware, therefore, and fall not into the same trap! It’s very easy to yield to the temptation of wanting to impress, but know now that this is the way of the flesh. Seek not to impress with your abilities, but with My Spirit. When you are weak, then you are strong. 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. 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! Everything is dead without the Spirit. All the perfection one can try to attain in the flesh, is dead & nothing, without the true life of My Spirit. Don’t just let the things you learn inform you, but form you, shape you into something greater. Learn to see with the eyes of the spirit, not merely acknowledge data & accumulate information. 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’! 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 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. Open pathways are before you everywhere; if you will just open your spiritual eyes you will see them. In the flesh you only see the limitations, the confines, the ‘hole’ in which you see yourself. Seek Me, therefore, to lift you out of your hole & onto the pathways of your choice. What looks like the difficult path to you may be in reality the easiest path, for when you can’t do it, I’ll do it for you. Quit struggling in the flesh & let Me take over! The road of utter trust is like death to the flesh... When it comes down to it, you’re either going the way of the flesh or the way of the spirit, which will require a complete break with relying on the flesh. The flesh battles in you, to get its way, to push its way through, to sway you & influence you to settle for the lesser option than My best.... He that soweth to the flesh will reap the corruption of the flesh. The flesh corrupts. It corrupts the spirit & chokes the things that really count. Only the Spirit brings life! Your fleshly loss has been your spiritual gain. In losing your pride of life you have found Me, My voice, & a humbler path. Long live the Spirit! And it does. It lives forever. In becoming partakers of the spiritual, the eternal, you’re taking on a very special role in this world, for you have inherited that eternal, immortal ingredient, which marks you as different & makes you stick out from them. The less there is of you, the more the light shines through. You must decrease so that I can increase in you. Are you willing to become a little bit less of yourself & a whole lot more of Me? I don’t need anyone who is strong in themselves, I need somebody weak, who in their own flesh can’t do it, somebody utterly dependent on Me. You’re not going to make it walking in the flesh, only if you rely utterly on My Spirit. Seek Me and the truth, the real picture more desperately, for you cannot rely on your own minds. You cannot rely on your eyes and on your physical senses, much less that which you deem to be your own knowledge. 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.

’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. 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 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. In the flesh, you’re a loser. In the Spirit, you’re a prince. You can walk through your days either as a loser or as a prince, depending on whether you walk in the Spirit or in the flesh. Are you going to be a loser or a prince today? Are you going to walk in the flesh? Or in the spirit, as My prince and anointed, My beloved, in whom I am well pleased, in spite of countless faults & flaws by the standards & measures of man? A missionary is a picture of utter trust in Me vs. the flesh. ”The hare never made it, but the tortoise did,” and while the men of force go down in flames & lighting up the landscape in one brilliant flash, sometimes a little, insignificant person can continue working, lighting many candles in many places, and thus give an equal amount of light, only in a quieter way, but nevertheless the same amount of light. So, have patience and compassion for the weaker ones, for you never know what I may do in their lives over time, and what great miracles might be wrought through their weakness. It’s not the strong & mighty who will conquer the Earth in the end, but ”the meek shall inherit the Earth”. The flesh is almost like the false identity the Enemy wants to give you; the weak, sinful & despicable you. But you can look way past that at your higher anointing & you’ll know what I’ll make you capable of. You’ll be unstoppable & you can do all things through Me if you just focus on your true identity: My creation! Remember who you are! It’s the slumbering higher anointing which dwells within each of you, which the key & the call of David & the chord of his harp, bring to life. That which you can be & are in the spirit: the creation of My omnipotent hand, not the fake identity the Devil is trying to brainwash you to accept. Be My creation, My children, awake, & come to life, oh ye very creations of My hand, the sculptures of My eternal breath! Hide no more, crawl no more into the dark dungeon, the grave, the empty shell of this flesh, which is nothing but corruption. I beg you to refuse to accept the lower identity which the Devil & the System are trying to give you & that you render your services completely to Me. Be a fully functioning agent for My cause & don’t let them brainwash you any longer into believing & accepting the loser role he would like to put you in. Be that which I have called & chosen you to be. Reject & cancel the former. Be the greater one you can be that originated in Me. That which is flesh, is flesh, but that which is born of the spirit, is spirit. Break out of the cocoon of the old. Let go of the flesh & cling to My Spirit. Be not perplexed by your weakness, but shed it like an old cloak. Soon I will clothe you in strength, anointing & power & none shall be able to withstand thee, if thou canst believe. All too easily you slip right back into the confidence of the flesh, and that’s when you start making mistakes. It won’t work without Me. 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! 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? Those with great leadership qualities, those full of action, courage & initiative, do not always make it in My Kingdom in the long run, but those who have chosen the good part of sitting at My feet, hungering for My Words, it will never be taken away from them! It's My promise! I've got to be the Beginning & the End of all your works in order for them to be works of faith instead of works of the flesh. I've got to be in it, in order for it to come alive. Those who do good works without My Spirit to strengthen & uphold them, sooner or later run out of strength, & they just

peter out. 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! 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! 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... 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? 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! If you put your hopes in the flesh, you can count on winding up disappointed! The flesh profiteth nothing! It is the spirit that quickeneth. The Words that I speak unto you, they are spirit & they are life! And I have come to give you life more abundantly. The flesh is dying. Youth is such a deceitful thing, having the Devil telling you your flesh is immortal, invincible. That’s why youth is the Enemy’s perfect harvest field. Especially when they are strong, beautiful & successful in the flesh. Only those to whom it is given can resist the temptations to fall for the lures & the deceit of the flesh: the temptation to think of itself as all-powerful & all-knowing, & to humbly admit that you know & can do nothing! So, fret not when you are weak, but know that that’s when you are strong in My eyes & that’s when I can use you. "The carnal mind is at enmity with God.” Anyone who falls prey to carnal reasoning becomes a potential enemy to My cause. What I’m calling for is that you all lay aside your carnal reasoning & seek Me in everything. You’ve got to learn to be driven & pushed forward by the wind of My Spirit... Your efforts have to be made in the spirit. I’m teaching you to operate in the spirit. ”If the spiritual is ok, everything else will fall into place as well.” The flesh hopes all things will continue as they were: ”No reason to get desperate...” Whether soon or later, the end of that flesh will come, whether it wants to believe it or not, & those who are prepared for that final journey are always better off than those who are not. The flesh is the stuff pride feeds on. My Spirit is humble & seeks the humble & lowly in heart, & isn’t very attractive to pride – it doesn’t feed it. 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) ”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.” 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. 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 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. The Enemy’s subtle message always promotes the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, the pride of life. 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... 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. I allow you to feel clumsy, so that you feel weak & incapable in your flesh & lean on Me instead. Continue to make an effort to think with My mind, the far-out, supernatural way as opposed to the carnal & reasonable... 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 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!...” These have been around since the very beginning… those who go the way of Cain, the way of the flesh... 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! You think the Spirit realm has little to offer to the physical? The physical realm is only a product of the Spiritual. Everything you see, feel, touch, is a creation of the Spirit. ”God is a Spirit”, and just because ”spirit” to you means ”invisible”, you mentally restrict & minimize Our potential to near ”impotent”, instead of what it really is: omnipotent! There is NOTHING I cannot do! And there is nothing you cannot do through Me! 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!

What Jesus Has to Say at the Onset of the 21st Century about…

…Giving God the Glory

“Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God.” –1Corinthians 10:31 The more you pray about what you say or write, the more sure you can be that it’s really from Me, & not just another opinion. Learn to resist the temptation to speak unless spoken through by Me. Go forth in the power of My might, and nothing will be able to withstand you. And the little things that made life so impossible for you beforehand, suddenly will seem ridiculously insignificant. In all you do, wait for Me and My counsel & strength & power to rise above! It’s a matter of giving the glory to Me, instead of yourself! Give Me all the glory all the time, & there’ll be no stopping you. It’s often just the Devil who’s making you feel guilty about not being more busy, accomplishing or achieving more so you can pat yourself on the back! It takes faith to just wait on Me! But you’ll feel so much better, if you do! Burning with My Spirit is not anything you can do in the flesh. Only I can set you on fire, you cannot force it. Humility & brokenness is what makes you material that I can ignite. Otherwise, it’ll only smolder, smoke & choke the people. In order for it to become real, there needs to be pain & desperation. You cannot fake love, nor the real fire. Any element of self, which might distract from Me, the true light is only harmful, as it will lead the searcher into a false direction. You’ve got to be willing to become nothing, nothing at all, nothing but Me. Watch out for any of those elements that would distract you. What do you want to do? Do it yourself, promote self, or take the humble road, deny yourself & glorify Me? The comfortable road is the one that promotes anything you like but Me. When you start promoting Me it starts to become uncomfortable... That’s when you start dying to yourself, because it makes your pride, your selfishness, your ego, your old man & everything in you that stands for this comfortable & compromising little life, squeal & hurt. I’m going to help you, but I can’t take this pain from you. So, you have to check your motives. Is your goal & vision easy living? Or do you sincerely want to further My cause & Kingdom? I’d like people to learn to see Me in everything, to look for an opportunity in every situation to glorify Me or to remind people of Me! The Devil would like to sneak in & grab the glory for virtually everything that’s pleasant under the sun. What matters is whether you give Me the glory! Refuse to give it to him! Just take whatever comes your way, trusting in it from the Romans 8:28 angle, giving Me thanks in all things, even IF the Devil did bring it! Sometimes you’ve gotta have some guts to grab the spoils of Egypt. If you’re too scared about whether it’s really politically correct to do this or accept that, there goes another lost opportunity. Blessed are the poor in spirit. Blessed are the humble, the thankful, those who grab it by faith & thank Me for it, no matter where it came from. It’s only pride that makes things complicated. Glorify Me in all you do. Use it for edification & lifting Me up, not the Enemy or self, or sad feelings of gloom & hopelessness. Pray that I will override any elements of self, & that it’s purely My Spirit that comes through. Make sure that it’s in My Spirit! The less there is of you, the more the light shines through. The more you glorify Me & the less you just display your skill, the more I can use you. Burn free with the message that truly glorifies Me... If you seek Me first thing everyday, truly put Me first on a daily basis & include 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 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. 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. 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. Don’t worry about who gets the glory. 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. Always seek to give Me the full & total glory in whatever you do, and as long as you do, I will make sure to fulfill My Word, that if I be lifted up, I will draw all men unto Me. If your motive is to glorify Me, then I can use it. Anything you say or do: let My light shine through! It's no good as long as you seek your own glory. It only starts to become good when you start giving all the credit to Me, otherwise it's just all so much pride & a works trip. As soon as you start feeling capable of anything, you let your flesh do it. You rush at it. No waiting for Me, no bathing the matter in prayer, no, you try it first in the flesh, & if it doesn't work, "Well, we can still pray then". But that's not putting Me first. That's trying out everything else first, & if it doesn't work, well, then I'll be your last resort. Faithfully point them to Me, not only when they're demanding things from you that you can't give, but also when they're heaping compliments on you. Tell 'em, "It's actually all the Lord, if there's anything good about me at all..." Be humble enough to admit that you don't deserve their praises. Tell'em, "Don't praise me, praise the Lord!" Otherwise I just might have to let them discover your feet of clay. If you fall for the trap of accepting man's praise, the fall will come, eventually. It's always best & safest to keep pointing them to Me in all things & constantly glorify Me and remind them, "It's not in me, it's not in me, it's only in Him... It's only Jesus!" 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. "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. Learn how to give. If you can just stay focused on that & stop trying to make some kind of a show business out of that and "behold what I've learned" ra-ra, but just sincerely try to live it instead, without having to look around for the applause of others for it, then you're actually a lot more in My footsteps of the humble path than the one you walk by making others feel bad for not accomplishing the same as you... Make sure you stay in prayer & thus make sure you're accomplishing what I want, and that I will get all the glory for it. Those who know that they are nothing in themselves, already know which part of the glory they should give Me. All of it, lock, stock, barrel, because they knew they could have never done anything by themselves...

Give the glory to Me for anything and everything, especially the things you enjoy the most! Don't take anything for granted. If you want to make sure that anything in your life has My blessing, ask Me to bless it, and thank Me for it. Anything in your life that you will include Me in will contain My Spirit and My blessing. Any activity in your life will be blessed as much as you will include Me in it. Those who naturally feel & know that they are & can do nothing in themselves, tend to give Me the glory a lot more for everything, and also to be less harsh & judgmental on their brethren.

What Jesus Has to Say at the Onset of the 21st Century about…

…Hearing from God & Prophecy

“The testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.” –Revelation 19:10 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. 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). 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. 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’ (Jer.33:3). Try to imagine how I feel about so few being willing to listen to Me. This is a pain I feel everyday when I look down upon the children of men & suffer from their neglect. Don’t do anything without Me! Don’t move until you hear My voice or get My sign, ‘This is the way, walk ye in it!’ Ask Me about the things that are going on in your life. There is so much to learn from all you’re going through. If you really want to serve Me, then start by sitting down at My feet & listening to Me daily. Hear! Hearken for the sound of My voice, My whispers, the Words from My lips, throughout the day! Keep an open ear for the checks & whispers your helpers would like to give you. And always check in with Me & them before you start doing something new. 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. Every individual situation is different & has its individual solution. Seek Me for the specific answer. 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! I can answer every question if you’ll but ask. Your primary responsibility is to make sure you get a hold of Me & My perfect will for you & find My perfect path for you. Everything depends on learning to get My counsel & direction & be more desperate about it! I can only answer you with the same intensity with which you seek Me! Seek Me even harder & more diligently! Get down to more serious business with Me in seeking My guidance! 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. 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. I want you to start receiving messages for the ones you minister to. Neglect not this gift of prophecy, nor use it solely for yourselves... 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. In order to have a good, clean & strong channel with Me, a person needs to have good, strong & clean faith, which is built by faithful study of My Word, they need a good, strong & clean spirit, and you should be free of strong emotions & personal involvement in the situation you’re trying to hear from Me about, if you want pure, clean & untainted prophecies. There is almost always a certain trace of the vessel in the messages you’re receiving from Me, but it’s a difference whether the vessel has been burned in the oven of many fires or whether it’s still a relatively young, weak, soft & brittle vessel, which might even occasionally lose entire crumbs & lumps of clay which spill over into the message. There are conditions to the contract, which you, the user, have to keep in order for this equipment & this line of communication to work properly. Take time with Me to counsel about the affairs of your life! The more you tune in to Me, the more My thoughts will become your thoughts, & the more natural it will become to you to hear from Me. You’ll hear My words right in your mind & heart! Wherever you are, we can be connected & together... even if your hands are busy doing something else... "According to your faith be it unto you" also applies with prophecy: if you have the faith for supernatural, absolutely outof-this-World revelations of "great & mighty things which thou knowest not", then they shall be given you. And otherwise My Spirit has to work with what you've got the faith for & use the reservoir of Word you've got stored up in your heart & in the back of your mind. If I'd be revealing to you EVERYTHING you need to know, there wouldn't be any need for you to read the printed Word anymore, nor for turning to other sources for learning. The gift of prophecy is not meant to take the place of the printed Word, as long as the printed Word is still available! There might come a day when prophecy will be all you'll have to rely on, & I'm preparing you for that day, but in the meantime, enjoy the feast & the variety of means to hear & learn from Me that's available. Faithfully keep your daily appointments with Me, & faithfully keep loving Me, sitting at My feet & keep drinking in My Words of Life, which will quicken you, keep you alive & in My Spirit. 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! Whenever something happens, you should seek the purpose & lesson I have in this for you. 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! 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. Whatever will happen, just follow Me! I'm training you to follow My voice, and that training often involves "zig-zag" movements, as is so often appropriate in a war. I'm teaching you not to "zig" when you should "zag" & vice versa, which happens when someone follows their own leadings, intuitions or carnal wisdom & they often wind up getting hit by the enemy. So many find themselves wounded on the battle field & when asked what happened, they can only reply, as the soldier in that story, "Well, I guess I must have zigged when I ought to have zagged!" And I'm teaching you how to avoid that by listening to Me daily, and I will tell you in an instant when to zig or zag, when to turn left or when to turn right, when to move forward or backward or stop. You & I must become one, and you can only become one with Me by letting Me implant My seeds in you. You have to consume Me to become a part of Me. 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. You don't just eat every once in a while. Likewise, you shouldn't just hear from Me every once in a while. Keep consuming Me, eating Me, drinking Me in & becoming filled with Me. What counts is the instructions I'm giving you for today. It's not an exclusive thing to have Me as a chatting partner, Advisor, Helper and Counselor, it's something available to anyone who would only dare to give Me a chance. Come to Me afresh every morning, to find Me, get ahold of Me, be filled with My strength & find guidance from My hand, and confirmation of the path before you from My mouth. I'm teaching you to look before you leap, which means that even in a case where I give a general "okay," you need to keep looking for signs of confirmation along the way. I'm trying to teach you to read My signs. They are all over the place, and often people don't register them. If they would stop to notice them and ask Me, "Lord, what does this mean?" I could show them so much more & teach them so much more, and their path would become clearer. 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... I will speak to you anytime, regardless of the way you feel, and regardless of what you've done or not done. There are times when My children don't have a clue. But I can give you a clue. I'm the Clue-Giver! Haven't got a clue? Ask Me what to do! You must fine-tune your instrument! Close your eyes & really make an effort & zoom in on the details. You have to be able to read the fine print & hear even the faintest whisper of My Spirit! We're training your ears. Take Me with you! Don't let our communication go under in all the stress & the distractions! 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. When you come before Me, you must lay aside your own opinions, your own background information as much as possible, and any preconceived ideas & bias, otherwise a message can very easily become tainted by what you "know." Look hard to find My perfect path for you each day. It's not enough to just get your major directions or encouragement from Me for the day and then close your eyes & ears to what else I might have to show and tell you. You've got to stay alert & keep your spiritual radio on! In the desperation of not wanting anything false, there is great safety! When all you really want is the truth and nothing but the truth, no matter how ugly it is, then you're faring a safer road than one who easily settles for something that "sounds good." When you're out for beauty, more than the absolute, naked, and sometimes ugly truth, then you run the risk of accepting fake gold, which may appear shiny on the outside, but will not stand the tests of time. It requires great desperation, sincerity and humility, honesty with yourself to the point where it hurts, willingness to break with your own romantic image you may have of yourself, in order to truly receive nothing but the real, naked and raw truth - a consistently flowing plan that slowly but surely moves you along to My perfect will. The veracity of a prophecy is not determined by how outstanding it is, but rather, by how applicable, how helpful. Is it good for others? Does it minister good fruit? Are the hearers edified by it? For My Endtime prophets it's expedient that they become as pure as possible and as free as possible from any element of self, which contaminates My gold. 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 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. As long as you're listening, there's hope, because My Word will not return unto Me void. Of course, the more you remember it, the more you help Me to fulfill that promise & really make it happen & have My Word bear fruit in your life. Let Me teach you what you have to know in order to walk your specific and individual path that is destined for you. If you pick up input that is not what I know is best for you, it can serve as a distraction. Listen to Me, your Coach, in order to avoid any mean knock-outs by the Enemy. You can always come back to Me for another shower of My golden Words to you, another snack of manna, My heavenly bread, My water of life, which is better than wine. In order not to stumble, you have to keep your spiritual ears open! And have your antenna tuned in My direction! Turn on & tune in to the music of My Spirit! It's always available! And much more rewarding than worldly input. Why feed on crumbs, when I could serve you a whole delicious meal? 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. My capacity to teach is only limited by your attention span, your capacity to learn, to receive, to listen, to tune in, to let go of your own ideas long enough I've got so much to share, so much to give, and yet there are so few really willing to listen and to receive it. 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. "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! 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 My love to them and My idea of love. That's one big advantage about the time you spend listening to Me: you can't listen to Me and the Devil at the same time! So if you want to get rid of the Devil and his lies & you want to get his doubts out of your head, just come to Me, listen to Me and dig into My Word! Don't act like Joe the mechanic who thought he was too smart to consult the boss when he ran into trouble, but do consult Me, check in with Me regularly whether the way you're going and doing it is where it's at as far as I'm concerned. That's why I enjoy talking to you in prophecy! It's one thing you can't do in the flesh! For every Word you've got to suck on My Spirit & you're utterly dependent on Me for it to work! You can't do it in the flesh or pretend you're hearing from Me! You need the real thing, and what's of Me, and so it should be when you do other things as well. When you talk, when you work... My Spirit is like a broadcasting station that's broadcasting all the time, with the same constant intensity as ever, and the only thing that changes is the intensity of your own receptivity. You have to keep your channel clean & fresh & well lubricated, that's the work you've got to do, that I cannot do for you. If you're more interested in other things than My voice, then I can't help it, if your vacuum for Me simply isn't that strong.

The things I've told you are for a purpose, they're a means to an end, not an end in itself. They're not the ultimate desired result, but only messages to help you to get there, like sign posts. Don't get into the habit of collecting sign posts, or get so busy creating sign posts that you fail to follow the direction in which they're supposed to guide you. I will always speak to you, whenever you ask Me. It's just that sometimes you have more faith to receive My Words than at other times. It depends on your vacuum, your desperation, your perseverance, & sometimes you're simply too easily distracted by the affairs of this life to hold out & wait for Me to talk to you. But it's seldom ever because of something on My end that you don't hear My voice, but rather some condition or factor on your end. Sometimes it's also the Devil's lies, telling you I'm upset with you or whatever, that's why I won't speak to you. On the other hand, there might not be any new special revelations coming every day. Yet whenever you ask Me and expect Me to answer with a vacuum, I will fill it. You're going to have to get used to it, that in this war, today's instructions may contradict those of yesterday. So many things are going on that you don't know about, which determine the urgency of a matter, and while yesterday was yesterday, and certain circumstances may have given leeway for certain things, it may all look different today, just as it may all look yet completely different tomorrow. That's why it's so important you get your instructions afresh everyday. You can't rely on the practical things I've told you yesterday. While the general and spiritual counsel of My Words to you from the past may still be applicable, when it comes to the practical things, related to the situation, they may vary & differ from day to day. I want you to be open for My new input, possible changes & opportunities! There are unlimited riches, but you need to absorb them. I can't pour any faster than you absorb. It's not that I withhold, but that you have to increase the intensity with which you absorb My Word. It has to really sink in before it can yield the desired fruit & results. The strength, courage & faith you need to develop an attacking initiative comes from your times spent with Me, so by neglecting Me you go the opposite way. If you want to be like Me, you're going to have to be with Me. If you want to learn from Me, you have to spend time at My feet, listening to Me. 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. 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! 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. Come to Me, and I'll give and show you solutions that will exceed the quality of the solutions the brilliant minds in the world of science come up with. If you pray over a matter and you don't receive anything about it in prophecy, then chances are that I want you to find out My will for you concerning it by some other means, such as talking about it or using the ideas I put in your head & then counseling about it, etc. When there's no vacuum, then there's nothing I can fill. You need to create a vacuum first. There doesn't always have to be a question spelled out in words, but a vacuum. Hear from Me first about everything. The Devil's going to try to cause you to doubt your directions from Me or tempt you with irresistible offers that will look like "obviously the right thing to do." Or, he'll make nothing happen at all, just to "show" you, "See, all this listening to the Lord business isn't getting you anywhere!" My "nothing" is better than his something! That which he and the world consider nothing is in reality greater and more lasting riches than anything he and his temporary world have to offer. So, keep at peace & just doing your - what they consider to be - "nothing." Nothing but hearing from Me, communicating

with God Almighty and doing your best to pass on what you're learning to those around you. I guarantee you that it will take you further than all of their feverish activity combined is going to take them! Don't just do something or anything, no matter what, just to keep busy! Get your instructions from Me first & then you'll know what to do! When you're at the top, everything's euphoria, and "we're indeed the people... so happy together... etc." Then the first doubts start coming, later the substantial doubts, & finally you're near despair, at the bottom of the curve, which is where you call on Me again, get ahold of Me in the way that you should, and I send you back on your way up again, strengthened by the input you receive from Me, which you can hold on to: the renewed vision; My way of looking at things, & My Word, fresh from My lips, to boost your faith again. If you're hearing from Me but aren't doing the things I say, then what good is it? If you're not really taking them to heart, but just complacently think & feel, "Oh, well, I've had my daily talk from the Lord again today, so, I must be doing alright, now let's do whatever I feel like..." Do you really think that's the end of it? Is that the kind of religion or faith-life you want? A daily chat with God & then walk off & do your own thing? You can make an idol out of anything. And if you're making an idol out of My time with you, and you're just trying to keep it in that neat little box of "Oh, yeah, God talks to me everyday, & we're really close & comfy cozy...," don't you think I'm going to smash that image & shatter that idol? If you don't acknowledge Me in all your ways, in other words, if you don't ask Me about it, if you don't check in to confirm that something is My will, then how can I direct your paths? Committing your way unto Me means to check in with Me beforehand to make sure that it's the direction I want you to take, & then you can trust Me for it, that it's going to work out alright. Don’t be surprised if things go haywire if you don't check in with Me! I can't allow & tolerate you ignoring Me. You've got to hear from Me everyday about where you should go and what you should do! Ask Me about everything! No exceptions! Listen to My Spirit yourself first, before you set out to pass anything on from Me! Listen more deeply to the Spirit. The Spirit has got new things to say today, the wind bloweth where it listeth, and it pays to find out where, and which tune She's singing today. That’s why I've got so much to say: there IS so much to say that mankind is totally unaware of. Not because I wouldn't have been willing to tell them, but mostly because there were so few willing to listen. All is forgiven and forgotten when you come to Me to be cleansed. Every time you come to Me, I, the living Word, will cleanse you, and you are able to apply to yourself what I've told My disciples, "Now ye are clean through the Word which I have spoken unto you" (John 15:3). 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. Sometimes you're too full of preset subjects & you expect Me to say something on one of them, but I might not have anything particular to say about them. Sometimes I like it when there's nothing there... just you & Me, and you let Me fill the emptiness. I'd prefer it if you'd come before Me more often with nothing else on your mind and heart but an openness and a space for Me to fill, nothing but your receptivity. Like this I can fill into you whatever I like, whatever I see and know you need most. Like this I can lead, guide & direct you totally in any direction I like, like a blind man, who simply has to trust fully in his guide, as opposed to someone who sees and has their own goals & destinations in mind. It's perfectly okay when you have specific questions on your heart to ask Me. But when you don't, don't feel as if you must make something up, in order to have a "legitimate" reason to come before Me & hear from Me. All the reason you need is that you love Me and want Me. That's all the reason I need! It's a living relationship I want, where you have to stay attuned to My Spirit, keep your spiritual antenna up & listen to what the latest move is, what's the direction the wind is blowing from today? What is there to be revealed? Just be a blank for Me to fill! Be ready and open for Me for whatever I've got to give at any given moment! One of your greatest abilities is availability. Are you available for Me? I've nearly always got something to say, the question is only whether you're willing or able to hear it! As long as you've got a listening ear and a proper functioning receiver, I'll have something to say.

It's not because of My capacity to give that the flow ever stops, but only because of your limited capacity to receive. Faith means nothing more than the extent of your capacity to receive. I have given you the weapon of prophecy, now you must use it. Just open the faucet! All you've got to do is turn it, open it & let it pour, according to your desire, according to your thirst. When you come to the end of your wit, that’s usually the point where you let Me do the talking. 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. I always have new counsel to give you, even when you don't feel deserving, or in tune. I'll still be there as close as ever, no matter how undeserving you may feel, I still love you as unconditionally as ever. Listening to Me is the one sure way to make certain you're on the right track & that everything's going to be alright! Communication with Me is more important right now than communication with anybody else, because of the great impending changes in the world and the approaching darkness! You've got to stay in tune with Me! The real sheep won't be satisfied with anything less than the communion with a living God Who can speak to them everyday and gives them relevant answers to the problems of their lives everyday. They can't be satisfied with answers I gave thousands of years ago, they need answers to their problems today. 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. 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, taste & see that I am good. Let Me fill and satisfy your spiritual hunger every morning, before you get into anything else. You'll have My Spirit, My plan and My viewpoint of things, and you'll be much better equipped for whatever the day may bring! If it costs you some effort to find Me and to be able to hear My voice and receive My personal words, then you will appreciate them more and won't run the risk of taking them for granted. I'm the One Who's got the plan, and the only way you can be in on it is by following Me closely. There is always only a very small minority of those who really get the point, who really let Me talk to them. The majority will always follow their own impulses. 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. 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. My still small voice can best be heard in the silence. Let Me teach you! I expect you to come to Me, to make an effort! 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.

"Prophecies shall cease..." One day, all this exchange of words won't be necessary anymore between us. We're headed for a higher level of communication! There is nothing that could be anywhere near as important as My time with you, My communications with you. It can mean the difference between spending the rest of your day or life in Eden or out in the wilderness... It can mean the difference between life and death. Turn on receiving mode. Welcome on the heavenly wavelength. Sometimes I keep you on CQ for a little while. Sometimes I need to know that you really want it. I want to make sure it's not just becoming another lifeless habit for you, the way some folks turn on their radios in the morning and let it run all day sort of for background noise because they can't stand the silence. My station requires silence. It requires turning off all other background noises, thoughts and distractions that would throw you off. It's not something you can take for granted. Although you can be sure of My Presence and of the fact that I like and want to talk to you, it's a bit more than just flipping a switch. You've got to want it and have a vacuum for it. Indifference is a killer that will make it nearly impossible to receive My words. It's more than entertainment. It's more than a ritual to ensure you that you're "okay with God." Sometimes you have to work at it a bit, even if it's a gift. It's a gift for you to work with. It's a weapon you have to practice and train with, and the more you do, the more skilled you will become in using it. It’s not just a gift for your own enjoyment and gratification, but it's primarily destined to help you be a blessing to others. You could hear from Me about what you could do to "make their day." As long as you've got plenty of time, it's relatively easy to take time to hear from Me. But the real test & crunch comes when you're busy and occupied with many ongoing projects. This is where you're going to have to prove and show just how important My time with you really is for you, whether it really ranks top priority. You've got to continue spending your time with Me, no matter how many projects there are to tackle, or how much responsibility rests on your shoulders. 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. "There is a way that seemeth right unto a man," but only finding out for sure which is My preferred way for you to take, and which is My particular highest will for this situation will lead you to the desired results. Here with Me is where you find the true diamonds. Those earthly diamonds that people shed all that blood over are only an illustration of My beautiful and everlasting gems, My truths which I reveal unto you, which last forever. 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. 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. 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 listen and focus on Me, Who could prevent them from missing the mark over & over again. 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. 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. The spirit of prophecy is the true pulse of things. It enables you to read the signals properly. 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. As long as you use that gift, it can always pull you back to the ground of My true Reality, away from the delusion the Enemy tries to create in your minds.

When you don't know whether an idea is from Me or whether it's good or not, that's when you can ask Me & find out! That's what the weapon of prophecy is for. I don't leave you clueless. You may be clueless up until the point you ask Me about it, but once you do, everything can change. In that "New York Minute" when you come to ask Me anything, everything can change! This life-line with Me is the thing that's keeping you alive spiritually, that keeps your faith alive and that keeps you from dying. That's why coming to Me is not merely a pretty good thing to do, it's what you must do, if you're intending to stay alive! Prophecy is as vulnerable as its vessel. Your gift of prophecy is a vulnerable thing which you need to protect from the negative influences of the Enemy. You can't just take for granted that it will always work flawlessly, just as you can't expect your equipment to always work flawlessly. That would mean it were perfect, but as Paul said, "Prophecies shall fail... for now we prophesy in part. But when that which is perfect 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... Listening is one of the greatest services you can render, both listening to Me and listening to others. One of the greatest services you can render to each other is to give each other space and room and silence and time to listen to Me. You must allow each other to live, by allowing each other to listen to Me. The amount you receive is determined by your spiritual hunger, which is diminished by the amount of other input you feed your mind with... The less you snack on those other "goodies," the more you will hunger for My pure milk and proper meat. The more of a conscious effort you make to really focus and stay focused on Me, the clearer My messages to you will become, the more strength and energy they'll give you, the more faith you'll develop, and the more your doubts will disappear. The more you disallow your mind to become distracted, the more clearly you will hear My voice throughout the day. When listening to Me becomes more than a chore, more than just one more thing to do on your schedule of routines, but when it becomes all that matters to you, all you live for, the most important thing, then you realize what it means, "Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every Word which proceedeth out of the mouth of God," and you'll know what I meant by telling My disciples, "I have meat that ye know not of... to do the will of My Father in Heaven" (John 4:32,34). When all you care about is My will and if there's anything else I might have to say to you, then I can really use you. The quality and quantity of My resources don't diminish, but they improve, gain and progress with your increasing ability to absorb and process what I'm giving you. Not only do you become clean through the outpouring of My Words to you, but you grow through them, your spiritual equipment and "pipes" are improved and enhanced, and it's truly a noticeable development. 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. 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. 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. I am not the Author of confusion, but am always willing and able to bring back some light into the misty and dark confusion the Enemy is trying to create. Even if you can't see clearly, at least you can hear My comforting voice, letting you know that I'm right beside you and with you and that everything's going to be alright. A lot of churches don't seek Me for My new and living words, but they're building their lives on the writings of a man (Paul) - 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. They aren't ware of the fact that I'm still speaking today, but feeding nearly entirely off the food I gave millennia ago. My heavenly guidance and input is the only thing that can keep your vision clear and pure of any of that dark and negative input from the Enemy about each other, the world, and just about everything. Only I can give you the input you need to help you be grateful for life in spite of the black, gloomy picture the Enemy likes to draw of everything. I'm giving you My positive input and incentive for the day, and then it will be up to you whether you will allow the Enemy to steal that positive view and outlook on things from your minds, whether you'll allow him to get you to doubt it or forget it altogether, or whether you manage to stick to it, cling to it, believe it, act on it and remember it. I ignite the flame. It's your job to keep the fire burning and keep it warm and hot so its radiance will fill My whole house. I need you to listen to Me. I need you to get things clear, to get My vision for the future clearly and make it your own. I need you to take heed. I can't have you running around being really busy with little projects here and there while I'm wrestling for your attention in order to convey to you My latest battle instructions. Something new is happening, and I want you to pay attention. I'd like to get your full attention, and the kind of reverence that shows Me that nothing else matters to you than what I want from you. First you need to listen to My instructions, and find out what exactly I want you to do, before you can obey. You need to agree with Me first, and with My will for you, before you can say "Yes Sir" and go out and do it. You need to comprehend fully what it is I want you to do. Don't worry about whatever little things here & there you could be accomplishing right now. First I want you to listen wholeheartedly. It's time to pause from your actions and activities to pay special attention to what I want from you next. You’ve 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 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, nor are My mood or My state in any way affected by circumstances. You’ve got to make the initial effort of the drawing first! You draw on My Spirit, and it initiates the process of getting My heavenly machinery and engines to work for you. Have a little faith in Me! Have a little trust in Me, that I won’t give you a snake or a rock for an egg or bread… I give you good food. Hearing from Me does not only consist of the actual receiving of My words, but it should also include a time of prayer, of digesting the spiritual food and input I’ve given you… of praising Me, and thanking Me for it, and asking Me to show you ways to implement what I’ve given you! Nothing’s going to cheer you up or light up your view on things as much and as effectively as My voice, My Word, and My glimpses of Heaven that I show you. Get organized in My Spirit, 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 warnings and nudges when you’re about to forget something important, or you’re heading in a wrong direction. Find out where it’s at by tuning in to Me and following the trail of My Spirit. Come, dig for My heavenly jewels & treasures… for what I have to give to you! Come and seek Me so that I may let you find Me! You may not consider what you’ve got a treasure right now, but when all things shall be revealed, it will fall like scales off your eyes as to what it really is you’ve got, and you’ll feel ashamed for your tendencies to take for granted this gift I have given you. If you were not to receive those glimpses of how I see things, then you would never fulfill your destiny that I have in store for you. You would continue to look down at the hole, at the circumstances, at everything that seems to stop you from ever achieving anything. Your authority and anointing lie in My words to you, not in anything you may have done. The true power and proof of divine authority was 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 lay in his gift of prophecy as evident in the Psalms.

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. It’s not a big 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. 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. I may be guiding another person in a different direction, to do what they ought to, but you have to go by what I lay on your heart, personally. There’s really only one right answer to the problem, one correct solution to the riddle and the equation, and that is to come to Me about it and ask Me what you should do. By this I am honored, and I will honor your faith in return by helping you out and showing you what to do and how to fix the situation; whether the fault really lies with the other person, or to what degree it lies with you, what kind of an attitude to take on accordingly, etc. I have created life as a complicated series of riddles the answers to which you won’t find so easily without Me. Try and solve them without Me, and you’ll have problems. Ask Me to help you, and you’ll fare well. I’m your No.1 Communication Partner, your Central Exchange Point of Communication. I am the Broadcasting Station that makes all good and true communication possible in the first place, and without using Me as the Central Exchange, the Main Pivot and Axis on which all your other communication hinges and turns, it isn’t really much more than a bunch of hot air. If people wanted communion with Me, they could have it. You get what you ask for and have the faith for. The world is in such a mess because they lack the truth and love that a healthy connection with Me would give them. So, by showing folks how they can connect with Me, you may not be erasing all problems instantaneously, but you’re giving each one of them a cure and a remedy that won’t let them down, once they learn how to avail themselves of it. It’s like supplying folks with generators, an unlimited source of free energy. The only chance of success you’ve got is becoming so skilled in the art of using this weapon yourself, that they’ll be impressed and convinced that indeed it may be worth a try. All your doubts and all the Enemy’s negative energy can be blown away with that invisible, light-weight perpetual power generator you carry with you at all times. And the more you use it, the more enthusiastic about it you’ll get, and pretty soon you won’t be able to stop yourself from convincing others to try it out, too. If you avail yourself of it, they’ll see its effects in your life, and soon enough, they’ll want it, too. Remember to come to Me when you don’t know what to do. Don’t just keep going through the motions. Don’t let your life be directed by whims. Allow Me to give you a steady and clear vision for each day to pass on and convey to others. The trick is in remembering what I’m telling you. If you don’t know what to do, don’t keep going, but stop and ask Me. Take more time to be still to know that I am God, and what kind of a God I am, and what kind of desires I have and what I would like from you, what I would like for you to do, and how I would like you to do it. Take the time to check in with Me in order to avoid disappointments. Take the time to get the specifics. 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. Turn your spiritual sight and hearing toward My voice, and away from all those noisy voices of the world. It takes a special effort and skill to be able to make out My voices and input from among all the System’s roars. It is an art, something you decide you want to learn because of its utter importance, the way anybody pursues their career seriously and responsibly, because they know the survival of their family depends on it. Your job is listening to Me, and even if that job seems to be more difficult than ever with the noises of the world trying to drown Me out with more impulses and frequencies than ever, you just know you’ve got to do it, because your life depends on it.

Sometimes you’ve just got to try and reach out your hands for whatever there might be there, even if you don’t feel a special vacuum inside, or an explicit desire to hear from Me. Sometimes it’s okay if all that drives you into My arms and into the position to hear from Me is the knowledge that you ought to do it, and that it’s the best you can do regardless of what you feel like. You’ve got to make a little effort and stretch out your hands of faith to receive. You’ve got to do a little bit of pumping and drawing. The decisive factor still remains your hunger and desire for My input, and if it’s not there, then that doesn’t mean that I have forsaken you, but is probably an indication that you have tried to satiate that hunger with other things, or you’re simply tired of drawing input from Me. Whatever happens to be most important to you, you manage to make time for, and if you really want to hear My voice, you will. The Enemy is trying to convey to you that spirit of resignation and “What’s the use?” Your vessel seems a little cracked, and you don’t seem to be able to hold the water I would pour into you as well as you used to, and so you figure, “Well, why should I make an effort then at all, to receive any?” But a true spirit of refusing to give up would be to continue to draw down My input into your vessel, even if there’s only a fraction left of it, knowing that even a little bit of My life-giving water is better than none at all… 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 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.

What Jesus Has to Say at the Onset of the 21st Century about…

…Love

“He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.” –1John 4:8 No matter how important you consider whatever you’re doing, a person is always more important in My eyes than any bedroom slipper project you’re working on for Me. Stand tall like a man for Me and for those who need My love, My unadulterated, unselfish, sharing, sacrificial & humble love from you. Human love is limited in its capacity to forgive, to take the humble seat, to prefer the other person, sometimes even simply by time. But My love is forever & constantly unconditional. Permanent. Everlasting. Eternal. Like a rock that can never be moved. Like a mountain. Like streams that never run dry. Prove that you are My disciple by showing love. How can you say you love Me, whom you have not seen, if you can’t even love one you have seen? Stop expecting more of others than you are able to yourself & be more generous with your love & affection. Look beyond that which bothers you. If you can’t love, all the knowledge of My Word in the world isn’t going to make a difference! I am the Source of love, and I have unlimited capacities to give & thus, you do, too. Just come to Me to get it & pass it on. If you decide to love, no matter what, you’ll do just fine. The answer lies in simplicity. Love must be the theme of your life! For then they’ll know for sure you are Mine, that you have been with Me, and I, if I be lifted up, will draw all men unto Me! It’ll fall like scales from a lot of people’s eyes when they come into My Kingdom, the realm of My Spirit. It happens all the time. The great awakening: "Oh, it was right there all the time. It was at our reach! You were there all the time, Lord, You are... LOVE! All that was needed was just a little more 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! If you live in Me, act, move & breathe in Me, listen to My Voice & follow My instructions, you WILL wind up emitting that love I want them to see through you, and you will be the tools & vessels I need you to be. Your obedience in taking this path will result in changes of lives of those who will be attracted by the love you will radiate. They will feel the warmth of your fire. Focus on Me, and I will be the glasses through which you will see everything clearly. Everything will make sense if you look at things through Me. Especially try to see with the eyes of love. Lift up the standard of Love, My pioneers! For soon this standard will fill the whole Earth, like a mighty mountain that will fill the whole Earth, and you will have been My pioneers, the founding fathers, who, in the last & most wicked days of man will have withstood all opposition to declare & establish this eternal standard. Right now, in the eyes of man, love is nothing but a romantic idea or an emotion, considered foolishness by some. But in My kingdom, that standard of love will be just as tough a law as the laws of man today. If you will break it, you will reap consequences. There will be statutes which will have to be kept, and they will all be part of the new standard, the standard of love. And, oh, how proud I am of those like you who now, when this future is considered nothing more than a wild dream by those who surround you, already proclaim it. My day shall come as a thief in the night. Blessed will those be whom I’ll find lifting up the standard of love in their lives, deeds & actions, and teaching others to love just the same. For soon that love will be a cutting light in the darkness, which will be seen from miles away. My sheep will follow your beacon & My voice in you, so, be My standard bearers, My heralds, proclaim My standard of love! Strait is the way & narrow is the gate which leadeth unto life & few there be that find the way of unselfish love, the radical,

revolutionary, anti-System way of My Spirit. And wide is the gate & broad is the way that leadeth unto destruction, the way of do-your-own-thing, the loveless, unloving, cold-hearted, ‘reasonable’ way, and many there be which go in thereat. Be My called-out ones, the set-apart ones, different from the norm. Don’t be cold & cruel & ‘normal’, but warm & loving, caring & sharing, even if the whole world will call you crazy. Learn from Me to be longsuffering. ‘Love suffereth long & is kind’. Be longsuffering & kind! Look for somebody to love! If you look for someone to love, you’ll always find something wonderful to do! If you can live according to this task & convey it to others, so much good could be done. Go out unto the highways & hedges & look for someone to love! For God so loved the World that He gave His only begotten Son to look for someone to love! Go ye into all the world & look for someone to love! Look for someone to help, too cheer up, to encourage, to pray for, to witness to. If all your actions would revolve around this simple theme, you’d find life to be so much more fun. You can love in anything you do. And doing things for love, means doing things for My glory. You’re not bound by time, tide nor space, you can just close your eyes anywhere you are & ask Me to guide your thoughts to someone who might need your prayers. You can even pray for those in the spirit world, or those you don’t know what happened to them, whether they are still in the physical realm or have passed on to the spiritual. Prayers, just like love, are not bound by time or tide or earthly spheres. As the wind bloweth where it listeth & thou knowest not from whence it cometh, nor wither it goeth, so is everything that is born of My Spirit. You cannot lock it up or confine it. So, whenever you feel like you’re trapped by the hopelessness & discouragement of this world, break out into My Spirit & know that I can use you wherever you are to love someone else. Love that knows no boundaries. The world is like a lost lover I’ve got to find, and you’ve got to help Me find her... the lost sheep who are still in the world. The world says: ‘give a little bit of your love to me, cause I’m waiting right here with open arms...’ Love them for Me, will you? Pray for a love for the sheep, like Dad used to have: a good shepherd who cares for the flock, feeds the sheep, prays for the lost & is concerned about them. Trying to pull others up to a higher spiritual level will strengthen you. Only be aware that you also have not fully attained yet. Always bathe your actions & your speech in love, and you won’t go wrong. I want to teach you to love. Without love, it all avails nothing. Let all your things be done in love. I'm proud of you when there is so much love among yourselves that people can tell you are My disciples. Show people that you've tapped into the source of Love. Knowledge? Efficiency? Skill? Coolness? --None of these things come anywhere near the power of love! Be a representative of Love. You represent Me, & I am Love. Stop letting all other ambitions & motives distract you from the one & only true purpose you're on this Earth for: to love. 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. All you do in love will be like a little seed of eternity. Remain on My path of love. No greater power hath any man than the love I have given you, My children! For I am Love, and I cannot fail. Love is all there is, and all that will remain. Love will remain victorious, the everlasting conqueror. Show them My softness, My overwhelming love that knows no boundaries! Let go & be used of Me, My instruments of love!

Love is the answer, & the more love you’ll receive from Me, the more love you’ll have at your disposal to pass on. Giving your life for the brethren is the supernatural, powerful force of love that drives & compels you to give all, filling you up with unspeakable joy, to the point that no matter how much you give, you still feel like you never made a sacrifice. I will even teach you to love your enemies & have pity & compassion upon those who you think want to harm 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! Love in spite of failure, that’s real love. Only unconditional love is really love, everything else is just opportunistic attraction. I want you to come & get the love from Me, because I want you to share it, I want you to pass it on! Come & get it & then pass it on! Can you give sufficient love out of your own personal reservoir to even completely satisfy one other single human being? No, the only Source of Love that can truly satisfy any human heart am I, so, come, turn to Me, love Me with all you’ve got, bring your empty vessels & let Me fill them up to the brim, and then you can share what you’ve got & what you just received from Me. Only to return to receive more next time & the next... 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? 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! Love loves the unlovely. If you only love those you jibe with, what great feat is that? Anyone can do it, even the unbeliever. That’s why I’m teaching you My supernatural love, that which goes above human capacity. Yes, you can’t even love without Me, that’s why you need Me so bad, & you have to ask Me for more love, for your own is not enough! You feel embarrassed about it, but just give your empty heart to Me, & I will fill it! Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works & smiling faces & looks of love, and glorify their Father in Heaven, rejoicing inwardly over the recovery of love that they had long thought lost & vanished. Show’em I’m still around! And that love is still the answer & the most important thing! Show it in your actions & your interaction with each other. Show’em how much you love each other, and that there’s still enough love around, even for them. ‘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. Love doesn’t go by whether anyone deserves to be loved or not, love is unconditional. I will always love you, no matter whether you fail or how often you fail. You cannot fake love, nor the real fire. Pray for compassion for the sheep. Claim the keys of passion! Woo them like a lover. Love must be the driving force of this revolution, the Revolution of Love. 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. 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? 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 great 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. 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. Your 2nd greatest duty is to love your neighbor: make a greater effort to love each other & the lost sheep out there. Care more for others. Help each other more. Find out what they need. It also means that if someone has a particular & outstanding problem, which needs special care & attention, to attend to it, not to avoid it. Love is a multi-faceted & many-splendored thing, which not only includes being kind & nice to each other. It also includes imploring & seeking Me for a person with a problem & helping them to apply the solution I give or show you for them. Tacitly standing by, crossing your arms & shaking your head isn’t going to do the trick. Learning to love and teaching how to love is what it’s all about. It all revolves around love, and without love, all the rest amounts to nothing. Love is the gold dust that, when contained in your actions, your deeds, your works, converts them into real, lasting values. You will know you’re sowing to the spirit, investing in eternity, and you will see the result in changed lives around you, and thus you’ll feel the results in your own heart almost immediately. Love is what makes you real. It’s what converts empty, fake & phony pretenders into real, truthful, honest & giving people you can rely on, you can trust in, and it’s going to be something people will be able to sense & feel about you; they’ll be able to see it in your eyes. No matter if they may be inclined to think you’re weird or strange, whatever it is. If you’re genuine, if you’re real, if your heart is covered and embalmed in My elixir of love, they’ll know they can trust you. That is how My Family & My children throughout time have been able to operate and survive against all odds: It wasn’t that they had any outstanding means, finances or wealth to back them up, it was a look into their eyes that told people, ”you can trust them!” That is what you must learn to put your personal trust in, more than any other physical security or guarantee you would want to give to anyone: It’s My Spirit that counts! The Spirit of Love. Without it, their thoughts about you may be subject to any amount of doubts. But once you’re walking in My Spirit, they’ll sense you’re emanating a certain warmth that feels like an old familiar & faithful friend.... That’s the kind of spirit that engenders trust.

That’s a greater value & asset you can have than large resources & any amount of finances to back you up, for they’ll sense your reliability, and that you won’t deceive them. That’s why it’s so important to get any traces of deceit out of your lives. It’s gotta be truth that’s ruling your lives. It’s gotta be genuine. It’s gotta be God’s good gold. It’s gotta be love. When is love not love? When is love not pure, but tainted? Every time someone loves another, there is a little bit of selfish desire involved... So, where is the point where someone can say, ”This is not of God”? Where is the borderline? Sometimes I simply can’t bless it when someone only focuses on what they want. When they let go of it & try to give love to another, concentrate on the needs of another, try to please Me & fulfill My commandment of love not just toward the person they love & want the most, then I can bless them with the desire of their heart. Love – real, unselfish love – is all about learning to give instead of receiving, to serve, instead of being ministered unto... You’re all having to learn to not just show love to the one you feel most attracted to, but the one you feel least attracted to, and in this, in reaching out to love the one it costs you the most to give & pour out to, find My blessings... ”Love loves the unlovely”. Love reaches out & is kind even to those you don’t feel attracted to, but feel appalled by... It’s laying down your own wants – your own life, in order that someone else might live. 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... 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! I would like for you to give encouragement & show kindness to the little people I send across your path on a personal level. 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! 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. 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!

What Jesus Has to Say at the Onset of the 21st Century about…

…Prayer

“Pray without ceasing.” –1Thessalonians 5:17 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. 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. Pray 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. Pray down strength from Me, and that’s how I will be able to shine through you. Shoot the arrow of your vision, your destiny, your prayers into the future which is as bright & golden as My promises. Once you learn to pray in everything you do, you’ll get closer to the ultimate goal of ‘turning every thought into a prayer’. As you show your love for Me by your obedience, and by loving the ‘least of these, My brethren’ through your prayers or bringing them My Word, you’re also loving Me. The best thing you can do is pray! You could accomplish so much more if you would use more the underused weapon of prayer. Come to Me! Ask Me what you will! I have granted you the desires of your heart, have promised to move mountains at your request, & still you are not moved to come before Me & pray as you should. Wanna change the world? Pray! Wanna do things that count & make a difference? Pray! Whichever way you do it, PRAY! I can show you great & mighty things thou knowest not of, IF you will call unto Me! NOTHING is impossible to you! You even have the power to change My mind. Let My Spirit be your magic Carpet, rub the oil lamp of My Word & ask Me to perform any wonders & miracles for you that are needed to obtain the victory! I’ll remove any obstacles in your path & help you defeat all your enemies... 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. 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! 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! Not many people have this direct wire to Me, the Creator & Master of all things, Who can even see to it that those who DON’T have those things WILL have them, if YOU would only pray & grant Me the attention I deserve. By praying you can relieve the suffering so much, and by neglecting to pray, you sin. For to him that knoweth to do good & doeth it not, it is a sin. I have to withhold My blessings, because you do not pray. How blessed are those who pour out their hearts to Me in prayer every day. Who not only pray for themselves, but dedicate their time, their most precious commodity to pour out their hearts in intercessory prayer for the benefit & concern of others. That is a love I will richly reward. That is a faith which will be most highly honored in My Kingdom: That of knowing that in praying for another, you’re doing the greatest work, the greatest service , the most valuable favor to that person you ever could, for you don’t only give of your own time & heart to

them, but you rely on Me to do the work you cannot possibly do. They don’t spend their time in the Devil’s device of worry, which is fear & a lack of trust, but they wisely invest their time into the currency of faith & they turn in their heavenly checks one after another into My heavenly bank, for Me to hand out the ‘cash’ of My blessings to those in need, the ones they pray for. Now, that is wise investment indeed. In fact, there is nothing wiser on this Earth you can do. Invest every second you can into the biggest, booming market in the universe! Be not like the rich evil doers of nothing, but stir yourself up into action of prayer! And pull down My blessings upon your fellowman & thereby BE a blessing unto your fellowman! You want to be free & set others free also? Pray! The power I have given you to release in prayer on the behalf of others can do more to change the course of history you see unfolding before your eyes right now than you think! Make history! – PRAY! Change the course of coming events! “Our Father, which art in Heaven, Thy will be done! Thy Kingdom come on Earth as it is in Heaven! Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For Thine is the Kingdom and the Power and the Glory forever, Amen!” This prayer is based on the founding principle of the rules of the Spirit! You’re simply praying for that same law to apply in your temporary, physical realm, which is ever permeating the atmosphere, the calmness, the tranquility, the timelessness, the eternal assurance of Heaven. You trust in Him for your daily bread & cease to struggle & toil for it, like the ant. And rather, you concentrate on the truly essential, the learning of the spiritual lesson you were sent here to emphasize on: the forgiveness of others’ wrongs against you, and the recognition & refusing to yield to the temptation of evil, recognizing that the power & Kingdom are truly God’s & not the usurper’s. ‘Pray without ceasing.’ Keep your channel open at all times. Be ready for anything! Especially when you have a needy situation. Be always prepared for the option that I might bring about some unexpected means of supply for you, even at a time or from a direction you might not expect it from. You must pray for every little thing, & not take’em for granted, or they might not come to pass. Pray for your children, and I’ll show you what to do. Ask Me what you can do to bring each one back to Me! Look for someone to help, too cheer up, to encourage, to pray for, to witness to. You’re not bound by time, tide nor space, you can just close your eyes anywhere you are & ask Me to guide your thoughts to someone who might need your prayers. You can even pray for those in the spirit world, or those you don’t know what happened to them, whether they are still in the physical realm or have passed on to the spiritual. Prayers, just like love, are not bound by time or tide or earthly spheres. As the wind bloweth where it listeth & thou knowest not from whence it cometh, nor wither it goeth, so is everything that is born of My Spirit. You cannot lock it up or confine it. So, whenever you feel like you’re trapped by the hopelessness & discouragement of this world, break out into My Spirit & know that I can use you wherever you are to love someone else. A day in My courts is better than a thousand others. An hour spent in the halls of My courts, in prayer & praise & worshipping, seeking & trusting Me will accomplish a thousand times more than any hour spent trying to solve the problem in the flesh. In other words, prayer is a thousand times more effective than anything else you can do, because by praying, you’re leaving the matter in the hands of Him Who is really able to do something about it. Why don’t you just say, ‘Let’s pray!’? So much pain & suffering could be eased if you’d simply pray more. point others, who are having a problem, to the Answer Man, and what’s easier than offering to pray together? Take the problem to Me! Pray for Me to help you to be more efficient in your work & to really help you to accomplish something that lasts, fruit that remains & to become 'a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the Word of truth. Even prayer is work – spiritual work, and I reward you for your effort of obedience to petition Me, by granting your requests. 'Ask and you shall receive.' Become a holy man by immersing yourself in prayer & communion with Me. That way you can always be sure you'll be doing the right thing, if you follow Me step by step & let Me guide you by the hand. Pray without ceasing. It's like keeping your 2-way radio on all the time. Ready & on stand-by to receive new last minute instructions and to let Me know whenever you need help. Just keep your battery recharged & stay tuned to My wavelength. You just might have to turn the knob a little every now & then to make sure we're still connected, and you might have to recharge your battery, then you won't have to worry about losing the connection. You can stay online with Me 24/7 without wasting money or energy. If you can't do anything else, you can always pray. When you think of Me, it’s like the contact is made from your side. I’m always there, but as long as you ignore Me, you don’t profit as much from My presence, naturally, as you do when you tune in to Me. And, of course, I can’t use you as

much as I would like to if you’re literally in a state oblivious to Me & you fail to acknowledge Me. In all thy ways, acknowledge Me, & I will direct your paths. You can determine the positive or negative outcome of a situation by deciding whether you’re going to pray or not. Don’t let the Enemy & the power of habit cheat you out of this opportunity to make a golden opportunity out of each one. Every moment is a golden opportunity to do something wonderful, if you include Me in it. So few stir themselves up to call upon Me, to intercede for others. So few weep & feel & pain with those who are lost. If you shall seek Me with your whole heart I will let you find My grace, which is sufficient for thee. But you have to come with determination, boldness and desperation before My throne of grace to find mercy & help in time of need. And one important factor is not to let the Devil trick you into losing that desperation. Much is at stake here: the destiny of nations; of millions of souls either lost or won, your eternal reward or regret, according to whether you did your part that was needed to save them or not. Seek Me desperately and with your whole heart, even when things appear to go well. Don’t let the misery of the World just pass you by untouched, but implore Me to change things! 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. If you reach out to Me, I will reach out to you! 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! There are many who need your prayers. Come, and implore Me for them. I need you to pray for them. 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! Nothing comes from nothing. The same principle applies to your prayer life. Ye have not because ye ask not. I’m bound to certain rules & can only give you what you actually ask Me for. You believe in prayer as much as you pray! If you shall seek Me with all your heart, I will let you find Me. 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. Come to Me, come down to the depths of the core of your heart in desperation, & find Me there, waiting with open arms & eager to answer you, eager to supply your needs! I have needed & longed for you to stir yourselves up. It’s the indifference that won't let Me cope, that won’t let Me work, that won’t let Me stir Myself up, as long as you don’t stir up yourselves! I have to create a need, & at times have to withhold My blessings, for only in those times you really stir yourselves up wholeheartedly to come before Me as you should. I need your concern & your desperation! When there’s a need, it creates a vacuum. It’s like the darkness that cries for the light, the cold that longs for My warmth, the question that waits for My answer, the problem which yearns for My solution. I’m pleased when you earnestly cry out for My help, I need that! As the need grows, your desperation also needs to grow. If you’d spend more time with Me about your issues, you’d find out that I’ll take care of them... If you go to a doctor with a problem, you have to sit in a waiting room for a few hours, then you have to tell him your troubles, & you have to listen to his advice or follow his treatment. If you can take the time to attend to your physical problems, how much more should you take time with Me to counsel about the affairs of your life! Consulting time with Dr. J.! Too many times you let things, circumstances or incidents, pass you by indifferently, without getting stirred up to seek Me about them, to counsel with Me or beseech Me about them. It’s that passive, fatalistic attitude, which makes people go

around in circles without ever getting anywhere, ever learning but never coming to knowledge, as one that beateth the air. You often accept things as from Me, but you don’t give them back to Me, commit them unto Me or into My care, you don’t always commend a situation into My hands, nor ”command Me concerning the work of My hands”; you don’t tell Me what you expect Me to do about a certain thing. You don’t do it because you’re too lazy, or distracted, or because you’re afraid to be disappointed in case I don’t answer according to your liking, & you fear this might hurt your faith. But in any case, whether I answer a prayer specifically in the way you want Me to or not, it’s always better to have prayed for a situation & to commit it into My hand, than not. The results will always be better! And there’s a lot of things for you to pray & get stirred up & even desperate about! If you leave anything to itself, it won’t just automatically improve by itself. Everything needs care, and the best care you can give to things, people & situations, is to pray for them. That’s why sometimes I have to put you in desperate situations where almost the only thing that’s left for you to do is pray & trust Me for the outcome! Pray & cover everything there is to pray for, until you know, ”it is done” & you have done all you could! If you can’t handle the situation anymore, just say sincerely: ”Sorry, but I’ve got to get a hold of the Lord’s mind for this situation first right now, so, would you mind if I just take a break & pray for a few minutes?” Or, ”Come on, let’s pray together!” Praying is not only an essential part of love a parent should have for their child, but it’s actually the most important & effective thing you can and must do! I’m bringing you to the end of your wits. The only chance you have is to bring the matter before Me. I’m your only chance! – You’ll see just how vast the difference is that prayer has made in your life & in the course of your destiny. 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. Stir yourselves up & implore Me, seek Me & beg Me to fill the need. Where there is no need, there is no space to fill... 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! Anything that makes you pray more than you usually would, is a blessing in disguise. 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. 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. The moment you integrate Me & include Me in the equation, the solution will be underway. As soon as you cast the burden on Me, it will leave your tiny shoulders & it will be on Mine, which are quite a lot more capable, and the matter is resolved; I don’t want you to worry about it anymore. You can keep it in prayer, but don’t worry! Worry isn’t good for you, so I want you to instantly convert every worry into a prayer, okay? If worry is a sickness or a poison, then prayer is the cure. Worry is the question mark, prayer brings the answer. Worry is the black hole of the vast need that’s there to fill & prayer is the switch that turns on the heavenly machinery that sets the filling process in motion. Worry is the darkness, prayer turns on the light. So, pray, instead of worrying. 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. Always remember 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. Remember! It’s gotta be Me Who does it all. - The part that you can’t do! 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. 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. 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! Just a little prayer could have prevented the thing you got upset about. But prayer goes against your proud, wanting-to-beself-sufficient nature of "I can do it myself." 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 your load! I have purposely limited Myself to give to you only what you ask for - usually, that is - and often "ye have not because ye ask not," which is pretty sad, because I'm so much more willing to give than you are to receive. The only requirement is that you ask. That's not asking too much is it? "Deliver us from evil" is part of the prayer I taught you to pray, because it's very relevant to each of you. Each one of you is prone to become a target of evil, that's just one of the facts of life, and that's why you've got to pray & stay in close communication with Me to help you overcome that evil, to withstand it, to resist it, & that I might deliver you from it. Stay desperate with Me to deliver you from evil, just as I have taught you to pray. It actually works, & is a system I have established in order for you to learn to fight & care for each other, to remain in unity. show them unconditional love & keep praying for them, "Deliver us from evil". I didn't say, "deliver them", or "so-and-so," but I said "us", because everyone of you is subject to it, and you're all going to have to be forgiven for trespasses as you will have to forgive others theirs, and all have to pray not to be led into temptation... None is exempt from that. Keep your focus on Me, and I will deliver you from evil! The best thing you can do when someone is being attacked is to stop everything and pray until they've got the victory! The times to just ignore things & just let it pass are over! I want you to take action, action through prayer & do something about it in order to enable Me to do something about it! When someone in your midst is being attacked, it's a test for all of you! It's a test of love, whether their battle also becomes your battle, or you just indifferently continue whatever you just happen to be into! You've been through similar battles & have come out alive, & you can see things from the top of the mountain in some ways, & to you they don't look nearly as bad. But what does that help them unless you come down & descend from your high horse, & help them up & pray for them? Don't continue business as usual. Call on Me for help! I'm your emergency call & 24h hotline, always available & at your service, always ready & willing to send out a rescue squad to help you! 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... 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.

(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... Just tell us what you need, what you want, and we'll do it, so that you can do it. Stir yourself up & search Me with your whole heart! For he that calls unto Me wholeheartedly will also receive a wholehearted reply! It's that half-heartedness that comes from people being so self-satisfied, & complacent with the way things are, that stands in the way of them ever getting stirred up enough to really get something done for Me. In order to really do the humanly impossible, one has to get desperate for the cause. It's that desperation that makes things happen; the realization of the urgency of the matters at hand. You’ve got to show by your attitude that you're real, not just another fake & phony with half-hearted or selfish motives. That's why you've got to pray desperately each day, with genuine concern for others - that's why I want you to start showing more concern for others - that's what it's all about, concern for others, & that's why I want you to pray desperately each day for Me to show you what is the right attitude to have, what kind of an aura you should bear, what kind of a mantle, and what kind of a spirit. Where there's a need, there's a vacuum to fill. You just have to assign that vacuum to the right address, namely Me, and not take it onto your own shoulders & try to carry the burden yourself! Sometimes you have to be made aware of the need first, and you also have to go through experiences & dry spells that will help you appreciate those blessings more. You pray a lot harder for My supply during the lean times. Remember that I'm limited by your prayers, so, you actually get what you pray for, and if you stop praying, I can't keep pouring. That's another reason why it says, "Pray without ceasing." I keep supplying as long as you keep praying. Remember not to take My flow of supply for granted, & never to stop praying it in and thanking Me for it. So much is in your hands. So much power! Your destiny lies in your own hands, & you can determine so many things through prayer. I can do anything & there's nothing I won't do for you if you ask in faith! I might just change your way of looking at things & help you to see through My eyes, but whichever way, you'll notice the difference.

There's incredible power in your hands, & you can apply the keys of change not only for yourself but also for others, especially those close to you, who are also yielded to Me & under My influence, being shaped by My hands... You're growing & progressing together, & you can help each other become that which you're supposed to become. Keep praying for changes to happen. You don't like the way things are? Pray for Me to change'em! Take Me with you! Don't let our communication go under in all the stress & the distractions! The more pleasure people derive from this world, the more successful they are at managing to lead satisfactory lives, the less they see the need for Me and intimate contact with Me, but if you pray for them, I can create that same vacuum & longing in their souls for Me that I have placed in you, because you have asked Me for it. If you pray for them, that they won't be truly satisfied by none of the Devil's materialistic counterfeits & by anything but the real thing, I can protect them from that deception, just as I have protected you, and I can consecrate & reserve them unto Me. You've got to claim them for Me! 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. Take time to pray, take time to meditate. Take time to absorb Me fully, and to become a part of Me - to let Me become a part of you, a conscious part of you that's always there, one that you cannot lose. Staying in My presence is more a matter of the heart than of the mind. If you lack, ask Me. You can pray for people's manners, their character, behavior, their attitudes... whatever it is you see, carry it before Me in prayer. Who is better equipped to deal with anything that is not the way it's supposed to be in My army than I? Pray for one another! 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. You've got to work toward your goal in prayer! I can get you there! But you've got to persistently and consistently walk and work toward it by faith & through the wings of prayer. I can get you places, but you've got to "rub the bottle" or say the magic words that are going to make your carpet fly, so to speak! You can't just passively expect Me to do something about it. You've got to tell Me what you want done & how you want Me to take care of a situation! If you want My blessing, come & get it! 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. Not praying enough is really a dumb thing to do, because it could solve all your problems & prevent many of them from ever happening in the first place! If you walk more in prayer, My Spirit will show you how to properly handle people and situations. If you have a problem, you should make sure that you've done your part to commit it into My hands, so that you know it'll be taken care of and that I'm working on the solution. Without prayer you're not going to get very far. It's the A & O, the beginning & end of all things in this business! Changes of plan can happen because someone doesn't pray enough, doesn't apply himself enough in order to really make it happen! Self-satisfied indifference really does a lot of damage. 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.

The only way I can ensure My full protection is if you make sure your spiritual firewall is up, and the more vehemently you pray, the more vehemently My hedge of angels will protect you! Electricity is an illustration of the Power of God's Love. How do you avail yourself of that power, the great energy of God? Through prayer! Desperation is the ingredient that puts the magic into prayers that makes them get answered in spectacular ways! 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? 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. With increased intensity of stress, activity & pressure, you've got to increase the intensity with which you seek Me. If you need more love & patience, just ask Me! "Too easy," you say? Well, if it's that easy, then why is it so hard for you to do it? Why does the Devil always manage to find a way to keep you from doing it, from just asking Me? - From praying? If it's so easy, then why is it so hard for you to do it? It might be good for you to realize just how difficult your own mind, instigated by the Enemy, is making it on you to avail yourself of the simple solution of prayer! Whatever you do, you've got to make sure you're doing it for My glory by bathing it in prayer. If you don't, then it easily happens that you slip into the mode of operating in the flesh, and you'll reap the repercussions of that. You make mistakes. Use the weapons of praise and prayer to a greater extent, and see how much further they will carry you than the talents & abilities I've given you in the flesh. Some things you can only handle through prayer. Some things you simply can't deal with in the flesh or solve with your own carnal mind. There is a reason for everything, even if it's just to teach you to pray desperately. I am able and I am willing to solve your problems! I'm more willing to solve them than you are willing to believe it or to accept My solutions or to even ask Me for them! The more you communicate to Me, the more I can help you. The more you're allowing Me to take part in your problems, the more solutions I can offer. The more you ask, the more I can help. The more you pray, the more I can make a way. Your enemy will try everything he can to stop you from succeeding. That's why you must pray vehemently against him, for he influences the weather, he influences his followers on earth to mean you harm, to turn the odds against you in any way he can, but if you stay close to Me and do what you can in order to defeat him, to get ahold of Me and My protection, you'll see that in spite of all his efforts, you will still win. Pray for new visions, new ideas, new methods & new territories to explore, for new souls, new people, new friends, new contacts. Pray for new faith for new things, new goals... pray for newness & change, a new outlook, a new horizon. Pray against fear of the new, against that feeling that makes you uncomfortable about the prospects of impending change. Help Me help them make it by praying for them. Prayer is like a sweet, spiritual perfume that changes the atmosphere of a room. A room in which one has prayed has a clean and bright spirit, it's as if someone has been in there with a sweet, heavenly perfume, and has left a trace of that scent there. Prayer is the gist of all that makes the difference! Wisdom is asking Me. Wisdom is availing yourself of My power instead of trying to do it on your own. The big mistake the majority is making is not coming to Me when something's wrong, they try to figure it out & fix it

themselves. Prayer changes things. When you feel the Enemy is attacking, pray! When you feel like you're not prepared for something that's coming at you, pray. When you feel like you can't cope, and what life is handing you is a bit too much for you, then pray. Prayer is the magic that makes Me help you carry your load. If there's been any improvement, any progress, it's because of your combined prayers. You must continue to pray. When you pray, you show you care. you've got to invest more of your faith in prayer, pour more of your life out in prayer. You believe in prayer as much as you pray. Prepare yourself through prayer! Prayer is the magic I want you to practice! The magic witches practice is only an imitation of the power you release through prayer. Chase away the silly and stupid doubts & attacks of the Enemy through prayer, the way you get rid of flies with a fly swatter or insect spray! Use the insect spray of prayer to rid yourself of the (f)lies of the evil one! Spray some prayer magic in their direction & soon you'll hear their annoying buzzing no more! They will stop touching you, stop bothering you, they will cease to exist. Rid yourself of all the pests of the evil one through that power-spray of prayer! It's pure energy, pure light, pure magic! It's a can that never runs empty of the very force that not only created the universe, but also holds it together. The forces of gravity, speed and light, etc., are all parts of one great force, namely Mine, and you can avail yourself through it through prayer! Wouldn't it be foolish not to do so? You can also prevent problems from ever even happening by applying yourself of that force in a preventative way. Breathing is a lot like prayer. You breathe in My life-giving oxygen, you spiritually inhale My Spirit, My love, My force, and you exhale it again, as you breathe out your influence of positiveness on the world. You shed light into the darkness through your prayers. Show them the magic of prayer! Share the magic! Pour it on them! Let them experience it, feel it, enjoy it! Let them notice the difference! Make a difference through prayer, My magic! You can only perform miracles if you start learning to truly avail yourself of My power through prayer! I give it to you freely. I want you to use it! I long for you to use it! Do you realize that it's absolutely the most foolish thing in the world you could possibly do, not to use it, to neglect it? 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. If you accomplish nothing but to pray for those who need your prayers, then you're already accomplishing a lot more than some multi-billion dollar mogul who's raking in the millions by the minute! His millions are going to be absolutely worthless to him the minute he dies, whereas you will have saved your riches where they will truly count, for eternity! Making praise & prayer a habit is a key to success in life. 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. 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? 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! Make it your duty to pray over things. If there's one thing you should be truly prayerful about, it's your words. Pray before you say - or write. 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. Stop to pray and get ahold of My wavelength, instructions, boost of inspiration and Spirit power. The best thing you can do is pray. You want to change your life? 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.

Prayer is the most effective thing to bring about the truly needed changes. There’s no way to live in the Spirit without prayer. Prayer is the hand that moves the gigantic network of My Realm, the Spirit World, on your behalf. 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... You can’t look to 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). Give it to Me in prayer, put Me in charge of it. And then stand back, relax & see what happens. Asking for prayer is something you should be doing on a regular basis, a lot like taking a bath, cleaning your house or your car. It's something you would look forward to, like the prospect of driving around in a shiny, clean car, or having sparkling clean windows again, etc. Ask for prayer whenever you suspect the culprits' dirty work in action in your lives. It will draw you closer together, will meld you together more strongly, and will help you to know that you've got nothing to hide from each other, but that you can trust each other, even with your problems, and that you can help each other and are there for each other. I can influence lives and hearts in ways that you can't by anything you do or say. This is where your prayers come in, and your faith in prayer, as the most powerful weapon at your disposal, and your most efficient tool, relying on Me doing what you can't in order to get their attention and interest. Isn't it wonderful when all you can do is pray? When all you can do is let go and let Me take care of it? 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. By praying for Me to keep your flame and fire burning, to protect it and not allow it to go out, you're wisely availing yourself of My power 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 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 can accomplish a lot for someone by caring enough to pray for them and commit their care into My hands! You can always keep fighting for the victory, even if all you do is pray! You've got to fight for the victory in prayer! 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! Help me to make the utmost possible out of it." 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. 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. 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 what you can. How much have you begged Me to do the part that you can't? 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. You're saying "yes" to Heaven when you stop to pray and give Me a chance to work through you. You're making choices that allow the forces of Heaven to become active in your life. 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 time to get stirred up, and really get some movement and action in the spirit going in order to get the desired results. Let Me guide you in prayer and by My Spirit in the directions I want you to choose each day. Through prayer and yieldedness you allow Me to put you into the places and situations where I can use you, and where you can do some good. Some things you've got to make happen, and one of the surest ways to make them happen is to start off by praying for them to happen. Once you've prayed for something, I can then help you to crystallize it and manifest that prayer, showing you what you can most effectively do to put feet to your prayers. When all you're interested in is Me and what I have to say, and what I want you to do, then you'll be fulfilling the prerequisite for really getting things done for Me. You've determined to forsake everything else and lay it on the altar before Me; what I really call "forsaking all." When you really put that thing on the altar and leave it there, without saying, "Okay, time is up, can I have it back now?" and all you care about is My will and if there's anything else I might have to say to you, then I can really use you. You don't pay any more attention to the supposed lack, but put your entire focus, your whole spectrum on the Filler. You don't stare at the problem anymore, but only at the solution. You know the problem has become irrelevant, because all that matters is Me, the Solution, in Whose shadow any problems become ridiculous, anyway. That's when you realize that prayer is the most effective action you can take, and you finally value that weapon for what it's worth: more than anything you could ever muster up in your own strength. In order to keep problems from happening, you have to take certain measures in order to prevent them, and one of the basic measures you can take to avoid problems is to pray. You can ask Me to prevent them from happening. If you don't pray, I can't do anything except watch you go through it and hope that next time you'll be smarter! If it's love you're lacking, ask for it! You're experienced in praying down My blessings when it comes to supply or finances, but every now and then you reach this point where you're having to pray for more love, and you're finding out that that's even harder to have faith for, somehow. It's easier to believe somehow that God can fill empty pockets, than an empty heart... 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. So much is up for you to ask Me to do... Prayer is a weapon more powerful than anything the Devil can muster. "The Devil flees when he sees the weakest saint upon his knees."

What Jesus Has to Say at the Onset of the 21st Century about…

…Trials & Tests

“For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.” –Romans 8:18 The way of the cross is the way of true glory. I test you not only through your trials, but also by moments of superiority, in moments of success. If you would realize how those situations are really only there to pose a new challenge before you, a new opportunity to make another grade, to climb another step higher, spiritually... you would take each of them much more gracefully. Take them as from Me, saying, 'Thank You, Lord, for entrusting me with another test, another challenge, for You know I can handle this one by Your grace!' If you had a glimpse of the blessings I have in store for you when you pass those tests the way you should, you would put on your best behavior, there would be no complaint or murmur on your lips, only praise! Life is a school in which you are being tested, taught & prepared for greater purposes hereafter. Yet all you can think about is your fun. ‘When’s the bell gonna ring, so I can run out & have fun with my friends?’ You try to get by with the least necessary amount of effort invested in My studies, hoping you’ll just about make the grade in order to enjoy both, the fun & pleasures here & now, AND the rewards later. You’ll be sorry one day, & wish you had done better! Only those with good grades will pass on to the real privileged opportunities, similar to the way things are in the world, which is only a shadow, an example of things to come. Sometimes I give you things to see how you will handle them. To see if you’re going to be willing to give it back to Me. It’s like playing ball with a very young child. At first they want to keep the ball for themselves & they run off with it & shake their head when you say & beckon, ‘C’mon, roll it back to me!’ You’ve wondered sometimes how kids could be so dumb, right? Well, there you go. Sometimes I manage to break someone, & their ego is shattered on the ground, & when they don’t accept My hand then to lift them up again, sooner or later the Devil will revive them with his same old enticements of lust for pleasure, love of money & egotism. 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. I lead you down the rugged paths into the abyss & depth of despair so you will cry out to Me. For look at who are the ones who go astray: is it not the rich and the noble ones, the ones for whom everything comes so easy? Solomon went astray because he didn’t have to go through the hardships his father had to go through, which made him appreciate the kingdom, for he didn’t just receive it by birth, he couldn’t take it for granted, because he had to suffer persecution even from loved ones before he could inherit it. Without the things you suffer you would never be able to learn the lessons I want you to learn. It’s those many afflictions & sufferings that make you righteous (Ps.34:19). Yes, troubles will come, and troubles are necessary, in order for mankind to appreciate My blessings that I will bring over them, even My rule, which they would resent otherwise. First they must see the righteousness of the Devil, before they will be able to appreciate Mine. Even you must have those days of battle and of pain, in order to appreciate the good days. Soon I will have to withdraw a whole lot of blessings from mankind: because they don’t appreciate them, but are taking them for granted. Satan is My sheepdog. And even those judgments I’m allowing the Devil to leash out upon the world will bring people into My fold. A mighty harvest shall come through the troubles that are awaiting the world. If you want the full reward, the full blessing, you’ll have to go through the hard times, full length, breadth & width. Glory in your sufferings, excel in your tough times... that’s rising above. To smile in situations where others would despair. To be calm when others would freak out. To feel safe & secure when there is nothing to hold on to, no rope, no net – only My invisible hand. Trust in the face of adversity.

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. 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. The only thing you have that’s just as real as what We’ve got Up Here is the Spirit. Though human spirits on Earth are encased in earthen vessels, it’s the raw material that My Kingdom is made of. It still has to be refined, processed & purified, which is the painful process of trials & testings. You are the diamonds we’re digging out of the mines of the darkness of your physical world... Only that darkness could bring forth such precious jewels & gems. Without the additional beauty from the sufferings of the present world, the final outcome wouldn’t be the same... It’s the touch that leaves the beholder breathless. Testings, trials, purgings, & then some more testings... It’s a rough & tough exam you’re learning for: the hour which is to come upon the whole world to tempt them that dwell on the Earth. If I am to keep you through it, I must be sure you’re not so attached, so affected by all that’s going on in the World. If you’d spend more time with Me about your issues, you’d find out that I’ll take care of them... If you go to a doctor with a problem, you have to sit in a waiting room for a few hours, then you have to tell him your troubles, & you have to listen to his advice or follow his treatment. If you can take the time to attend to your physical problems, how much more should you take time with Me to counsel about the affairs of your life! Consulting time with Dr. J.! Things only become too much to handle when you don’t perfectly rely on Me. There are situations in life, where circumstances seem to push you to the edge; the absolute extreme & limit of just about as far as you can go before you’re about to quit & yell at the Enemy, ”I surrender!” That’s what you call tests, but that’s the only way I can train you for this war. If you can’t handle the situation anymore, just say sincerely: ”Sorry, but I’ve got to get a hold of the Lord’s mind for this situation first right now, so, would you mind if I just take a break & pray for a few minutes?” Or, ”Come on, let’s pray together!” Living in the darkness is just drifting along effortlessly, but living in the light is a constant struggle & fight! It’s dangerous, because you’re exposed to your enemies, & they come to pick at you & see whether they can uproot you. The wind and the weather will test you severely, and the sun will sear you with scorching heat... But all this will only make you thirst for Me more desperately, will make you cling to Me for dear life, in utter reliance on Me, & that’s when I can use you. Letting go of the flesh & the enticements of the Word 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! 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. 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... There will always be a few things in life you won’t understand, which will be an inexplicable riddle to you. Those are My tests & challenges for you. It’s a test of love, to see whether you will love unconditionally, a test of your loyalty to Me, to see whether you’re willing to go on for Me, even if I don’t give you your heart’s desire. Remember, the blessings don’t precede obedience, & sometimes there are a few things I require you to do before I can bless & reward you, & I test you & see how you will behave even if you don’t receive your heart’s desire. Whether you will have a murmuring attitude about it or stay cheerful, loving, giving & thankful for those things I do bless you with.

In all & any challenges you face, take them as from Me, fully conscious & certain of the fact & truth of Rom.8:28, that I know what I’m doing & wouldn’t allow this if I wouldn’t know that this is good for you. Always see My hand in it, whatever befalls you, & I will help you find the hidden purpose. Don’t be distracted by the ugliness the Devil wants to show you: stay focused on My beauty! Desperation is good for you. It’s only if you still see these things as a burden instead of a blessing that you view them as punishment. Anything that makes you pray more than you usually would, is a blessing in disguise. Praise Me for your troubles! ”The Lord hath given, the Lord hath taken it away; blessed be the name of the Lord!”
