Micah 3

Do not be motivated, My child, by the urges of the flesh or the reasoning of the mind, nor directed by the influences which are felt from the world’s principalities and powers.
As you grow in your relationship to Me, My close one, you will come to know how love is foremost in My mind and thoughts, and you will learn to see how compassion underlies My deeds and choices. With this mature understanding, you will be able to go forth as My representative, My envoy, My ambassador.
You will be speaking for Me because your motivation is pure and your behavior is constrained and focused in My Spirit, not the spirit of the world.

May you rest in the Lord and trust the promises of God, for though you have been stripped of all you relied in, having all you counted on taken from you, brought low in the sight of others and dependent on the help of those around, He will gather those He has disciplined and assemble those He isolated, and will make of you who endured to the end a strong nation, transforming the weak and lame into survivors and restoring to them the former dominion, over whom He will rule. Micah 4

Micah 4

May you rely on the Lord for your needs, for the sustenance of the world will be broken and the necessities of the earth will not be found when the judgments of God go forth, so know the Lord Who loves you enough to make full provision for you in heaven, obeying Him in all He has for you on earth, and let Him be your testimony before men that they may know where to turn, if they choose.

Jonah 3

Let your expression of gratitude for My mercy and loving-kindness be whole-hearted and full-fledged. Offer the sacrifice of praise to Me before the congregation and in the midst of the assembly, My love, even as I have shown My dedication to you in the view of all while on the cross.
For as you continue to give honor to Me with all your heart, My dear one, I will cleanse you of all iniquity, giving you victory over each burden of the flesh and every challenge of the soul. By making for Me a name of joy before all the people so they will hear of the good I do for them, I will draw all men to Me in this time of harvest.

Receive My grace, My child. Rest in it. My grace is sufficient for your needs, and I provide it without measure. Accept My grace, My beloved. It is My daily provision to you.
I know your frame, that it is dust, so do not walk in pride or arrogance, rejecting My grace which strengthens you, but humble yourself under My mighty hand. Even as I take you through pressing trials that reveal hidden sins in your heart, I also provide grace that allows you to do My work.
Do not think it strange that you can minister to others from My Word through My Spirit and then be called before My throne to weep for and repent of an attitude, choice, or behavior that circumstances have brought to view.
You are salted by My grace, and as salt preserves by killing infection, My grace covers you as you grow into maturity. Draw closer to Me, dropping burdens and leaving baggage you have been carrying. Become more familiar with My voice, gaining wisdom through experience. Be shaped into My image as your nature is cleansed and purged.
Thank Me for My work in your life, because your praise, lifted up during the fiery ordeal, when salted with My grace, brings a savory aroma to Me. See with the eyes of faith the work of grace, knowing that My plans are to do you good and to give you hope. Rejoice with Me in the fellowship of My suffering, as many brethren are brought into the perfection of maturity.

May you assist the needy and help the poor of the land, honoring the time the Lord calls you apart to Himself. Amos 8

May you anticipate with joy and gladness your time alone with the Lord so that you can return to the marketplace bearing the stamp of His presence. Amos 8

Though He has broken the bonds of slavery for all tribes and nations, may you realize He will destroy those who reject Him, separating them from those who cling to Him, just as the chaff and the grain are shaken together in the sieve, causing the chaff to fall to the ground but not a single grain be lost. Amos 9

May you rejoice in the promise by the Lord and partake in the realizing from the Lord when He restores the ruins of David’s fallen tent and repairs its broken places. Amos 9

May you give praise to the Lord who will cause the harvest to be plentiful and the peace to be great so that the seasons are spent gathering the fruit rather than waging the war which trampled the vines and scattered the sheep. Amos 9

May you look forward with joy for the time when His people will be gathered, the cities rebuilt, and His kingdom will never be uprooted. Amos 9

Can a fish in a pond understand the world outside the water around it, a world that it is not equipped to experience, an environment that it could not survive? Can a hamster in a box succeed in comprehending the principles of economics and processes of manufacturing that work together to bring the food and water to it daily? Nor can you, My loved one, succeed in putting Me into the box in which you live.
Do not waste your time and effort attempting to define Me by the four walls of your existence – depth, width, height, and time; rather, allow Me to grow and mature you, to cause a metamorphosis within you, to equip you to live for now in both time and eternity, until you have learned and practiced how to walk in My Spirit in the heavenlies. Truly what I have created you for, though you are in the world, is not of this world.
Wear this world loosely; do not grasp the things around you tightly. It shall all pass away, and you shall emerge into eternity with those you love, where you will be forever. Learn of me now through the truth of the Word and the experience of prayer as your obedience to the prompting of My Spirit brings life to the dead letter, refreshing to the dull repetition, and joy to the dreary exercises as you pass from death into life everlasting and full of fellowship in My Father’s house.

May you keep the Lord’s command to endure patiently so that He may keep you from the hour of trial that is going to come upon the whole world to test those who live on the earth. What He Who is holy and true and holds the key of David will open for you, no one can shut, and what He will shut for you, no one can open. He knows that you have kept His word and not denied His name, though you have little strength, therefore, if you hold to what you have, overcoming the one who would take your crown, God will make you a pillar in the temple. You will bear the name of God and of His city, coming out from heaven, and carry the new name of the Lord Jesus Christ; all will acknowledge that He loves you. Revelation 3

May you embrace the love of God, accepting His discipline and receiving His rebuke, in earnest repentance, for the Amen, the faithful and true Witness, the Ruler of God’s creation, is standing, knocking, at your door. He knows from your deeds that you are lukewarm, that you are content with what you have, but ignorant of what you need, yet He is willing to come in and eat with you, if you will open the door. He will counsel you on how to gain His true riches, how to dress for His courts, and how to live in His health, lacking nothing, but walking in His victory as an overcomer. He invites you to share His authority, given Him by the Father God. Revelation 3

May your eyes not be haughty nor your heart proud before the Lord, concerning yourself with matters too great or things too wonderful for you, but putting your hope in the Lord both now and forever more, in the quietness and stillness of your soul, trust and accept His loving care for you as you grow and mature in His Spirit. Psalm 131

May you desire and seek the same lowly spirit that Jesus taught by example, willing to strive and struggle to discard and turn away from the pride that will bring you low, so that in the controlled strength of meekness you may gain honor, not by seeking it but by your actions attain it, and approval in God’s sight. Proverbs 29:23

Romans 12:11 Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord.

Habakkuk 3:17-18 Though the fig tree does not bud and there are no grapes on the vines, though the olive crop fails and the fields produce no food, though there are no sheep in the pen and no cattle in the stalls, yet I will rejoice in the LORD, I will be joyful in God my Savior

Psalm 143:8 Let the morning bring me word of your unfailing love, for I have put my trust in you. Show me the way I should go, for to you I entrust my life.

May you turn to God in humility and repentance when your sources dry up and your resources run short, when your hunger grows and your thirst increases, when illness arrives and accidents strike, for He Who forms the mountains, creates the wind and reveals His thoughts to man, turning dawn to darkness and treading the high places of the earth, the Lord God Almighty, is drawing you, in His mercy and love, away from the sin and evil that brings death and bringing you to Him, in Whom resides life. Amos 4

May you seek the Lord and live, turning from the places where God once was and which will fall, and seek the face of God Himself, touching His heart and learning His ways, upholding His righteousness by your deeds and by your actions maintaining the justice of Him Who made the Pleiades and Orion, turns blackness into dawn, flashes destruction on the stronghold and brings ruin to the fortified city. Amos 5

May you seek good, and not evil, that you may live, for then the Lord God Almighty will be with you, just as you say He is, for if you hate evil and love good, esteem the one who reproves and maintains justice in the courts, respect the one who tells the truth, assist the poor and supply their needs, help the righteous and present the poor justice in the courts, perhaps the Lord God Almighty will have mercy on those remaining. Amos 5

May you understand that to long for the Day of the Lord, without preparing your heart through repentance and humility to accept His cleansing and purging, is to long for a time of darkness and disaster, of accident and violence, of the destruction and loss of cherished tradition which only gives lip-service to the Lord but does not truly honor Him or lead others to experience His love, but for those whose hearts burn with a hunger for His Word, and whose spirits thirst for nothing less than the living water of God, justice will roll on like a river and righteousness like a never-failing stream! Amos 5

May you not be complacent, taking your ease and enjoying your comforts, but turn, while there is time, to hear what the Word of the Lord is saying and experience what the heart of God is feeling, for He grieves over the ruin of His people and the lack of justice for His beloved, He abhors the pride of those who devour the poor and consume the helpless, He detests those who turn justice into poison and the fruit of righteousness into bitterness, and all who are lukewarm and uncommitted in their hearts will be spewed out and rejected. Amos 6, Revelation 3

Are you prepared, My child?
Seek Me while the choice remains, for then I will give life. Confess Me as Lord and bend your knee to My majesty freely, while My accepting compassion and mercy are available. Shake off the complacency that this world system drapes over you and reject the enemy’s false “peace” that causes your spirit to slumber.
Speak My name to others and draw them urgently as you see the darkness approaching, for I am there in the streets and byways, offices and stores, everywhere the captive and bound, the weak and lost, the hungry and thirsty are to be found.
I am speaking to each heart by the Spirit, convincing and convicting each one of sin and righteousness and judgment. I need only to have you come and speak the words you know, the words I have already given you, the words that will bear witness to each person of what I am speaking to them in the privacy of their minds and spirits, drawing them to Me. Not all will respond, but you will have obeyed.
Prepare yourself, My child, by seeking Me and obeying, for time is short.

May you know that the Son of God, Whose eyes are like blazing fire and whose feet are like burnished bronze, is He Who searches hearts and minds, repaying each according to their deeds, knowing your love and faith, service and perseverance, seeing how much you have grown, and is now requiring you to no longer tolerate immorality and disobedience in your midst, but to cleanse your heart of all uncleanness and simply hold on to what you have until He arrives, overcoming and doing His will to the end, when He will give authority and reward. Revelation 2

May you hear the words of Him Who holds the seven spirits of God and the seven stars, for He knows your deeds, and though your reputation is for being outwardly alive and active, He knows you are dead inwardly in your love and desire to obey His Word, so wake up and strengthen what remains of your commitment to Him from your first love and don’t let it die but work to complete your deeds in the sight of God by remembering what you have received and heard and then obey it in a spirit of humility and repentance so that you may welcome Him when He comes to dress you in white like one of the worthy ones who have overcome and whose name is in the book of life, ready to be acknowledged before the Father and His angels. Revelation 3

May you cry out of the depths unto the Lord Whose ears are attentive to your plea for mercy, for He keeps no record of sins, since if He did, who could stand? But with Him there is forgiveness, and therefore He is reverently obeyed and respectfully praised. Psalm 130

May you wait for the Lord and put your hope in His word as your soul looks for the Lord more than watchmen long for the morning. Psalm 130

Romans 8:35,37-39 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword?…No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

May you know that to come against the people that God has chosen is to invite the fire of God to destroy your defenses and break down your strength, but to reject the law of the Lord is to cause Him to destroy your fruit above and your root below, for the swift will not escape, the strong will lose their strength, and the warrior will not survive. Amos 1,2

May you accept that just as the Lord has chosen to bless you and draw you closer to Him than others, so you will be held to a tighter standard than others, for the finest garments will be reserved for the momentous occasions, but are subjected to the most rigorous cleaning. Amos 3

May you recall that nothing happens without a cause, for two cannot walk together unless they have determined a destination, made an appointment to meet and agreed on the way to get there, for without friendship in God there can be no fellowship with God. Amos 3

May you be assured that for every action of the Lord there is a certain and predictable reaction among His people, for just as the Lord will do nothing without revealing His plan to His servants the prophets, even so when the Lord speaks, who can refuse to proclaim His message if they have His fear in their thoughts, His glory in their view, and His love for others in their hearts? Amos 3

May you always practice the righteousness of God with the generosity of God, not hoarding, with closed fists behind locked doors, plunder and loot from your own efforts, but sharing, with open hands, the abundance of God’s love out in the marketplace with those who need it most. Amos 3

Look to your goals, dear one, and understand where your treasure is. My purpose is for your soul to be prosperous and your spirit strong; too often your purpose is for your account to be fat and your status secure.
These things can, indeed, come to pass, My child, for I control all the riches of this world and the next, and I possess all authority in heaven and earth; I raise to power those I chose and I humble those I will. But My desire is that none should perish and that all should be saved. What is your desire?
Would you willingly give all that you hold dear to make it possible for even one to know Me as Redeemer? I have. Would you gladly accept the scorn, the shame, the ridicule, the mis-judgment, the disrespect, the misunderstanding of the public as well as the elite and respected of the world for even a single one to be accepted by the heavenly Father? I did.
With this Mind in you, then material wealth carries no value and social status has no attraction. With your desires set on the spiritual riches of heaven, you will be prepared for eternity, and not distracted by the vanishing benefits of the world.
Seek Me first, My beloved, and rejoice to do the service of My kingdom. Then, whether I assign you riches or poverty, strength or weakness, authority or submission, they will each be but tools for the work that is left to be done. You will be sealed in Me and seated with Me in heavenly places, enriched with unfading treasures of My Spirit and blessed with unending joy in My Presence.

May you turn again to your first love and make the Lord your one desire and the focus of your heart. Revelation 2

May you know that though you cannot tolerate the wicked and have discerned false apostles, persevering through hardships for His name’s sake without growing weary, it is only by overcoming that Christ the King will give you the right to eat from the tree of life, which is in the paradise of God. Revelation 2

May you not be afraid of what you are about to suffer. Though you have been afflicted in your poverty and slandered by the self-righteous, and though you will be tested by prison and persecution for a time, you need only remain faithful to the end, and Christ the Lord will give you the crown of life. Revelation 2

May you turn from accepting and permitting the teachings and practices of the enemy to coexist with the truth of God. Though you remain true to His name and refuse to renounce your faith, even during extreme persecution, unless you separate out the wicked and the false from your midst, the Lord Himself will speak against them; yet to each who overcomes will Christ, our Redeemer, give hidden manna and a white stone with a new name written on it, known only to the one who receives it. Revelation 2

May you endure through the oppression of the enemy so that they will not gain the victory over you. The Lord is righteous and will cut you free from the cords of the wicked. Psalm 129

May you love the things of the Lord, and set your affections on what delights Him, for then you will never be ashamed of your choices. Psalm 129

May the Lord plant you in good soil that is well watered so that you may grow vigorously and produce a bountiful harvest, causing those who pass by to say, “The blessing of the Lord be upon you.” Psalm 129

May you walk before the Lord as a son who is learning his Father’s business, hearing the Word of the Lord and obeying it, and not as a servant who cannot be corrected by mere words which he understands but will not respond to. Proverbs 29:19

May you be slow to speak and swift to hear, giving thought to what you say, so that the words you speak may be framed in God’s grace and carry God’s love, for the man who speaks in haste has less hope of pleasing the Father than a fool does. Proverbs 29:20

Romans 12:9 Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil; cling to what is good.

Psalm 126:5 Those who sow in tears shall reap with shouts of joy!

Ephesians 6:11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.

James 1:22 be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.

May you return to the Lord with all your heart, with fasting and weeping and mourning, rending your heart and not your garments, for the Lord is gracious and compassionate, slow to anger and abounding in love, and He relents from sending calamity. Joel 1

Those who depend on the diversions of the world for satisfaction and seek out the riches of the nations for strength and security will fall as the nations fall and be devoured by fire as the world is burned in My purging and My cleansing.
But as you fall at My feet willingly, you will not be broken as the arrogant. As you humble yourself in response to My majesty, you will know My compassion and lovingkindness rather than My anger and wrath.
Be not of the earth as the pot of clay that receives the rod of iron to shatter it, but learn to live in the heavenlies as My servants do, gathering My harvest and withstanding My enemies, binding the wounds of My flock while overcoming the lion and bear that would attack them.
I have much that needs to be done, and I will ensure that it is accomplished – walk with Me and see what I will accomplish through you.

Hosea 11

May you return to the Lord, trembling, from where you have wandered, following Him when He roars like a lion against the spiritual forces that seek to attack you, that He may settle you in the place He has given you to protect and care for you for He cannot give you up or hand you over to the enemy.

Hosea 14

May you know that in Him the fatherless find compassion. Hosea 14

May the Lord answer you and care for you, and your fruitfulness come from Him. Hosea 14

The way of a child starts with utter dependency, requiring all needs met, just as you in your sins could not redeem yourself, My dear one. Therefore, I have watched over you, given you constant care, been ever attentive to your needs, loving you, encouraging you, nourishing you.
As a child grows by having their needs met, so I have provided for your needs, My precious one. Look back and realize it is so.
My joy now is for you to step forth in strength, My loving one; not a strength of your own, but the strength you receive from My love, My Word, My Spirit.
Let your child-like dependency develop normally, appropriately, joyfully, into maturing trust and faith, My growing one. Thus, you can stand in the day of trial, knowing I am your rear-guard, and rescue those who are bound and captive, pointing them to Me, the Redeemer of whosoever will.

May you offer mercy to those around you rather than sacrifice in the congregation, and may you rightfully acknowledge God to those who hunger to know Him rather than offer burnt offerings without a contrite heart, so that your love for God may deepen and broaden, enduring beyond the rising of the sun, which burns away the morning mist, and refreshing weary travelers in the heat of the day.

Hosea 8

May you be faithful to God in your devotion, giving Him the first-fruits of your strength, meeting Him at the start of the day, keeping Him first in your thoughts throughout your work, for mere labor will not feed you, nor will business strategy clothe you, and dedicated effort to achieve your goals, without acknowledging God in all your ways, will become idolatry and lead to desolation.

I see more in you, My child, than you are aware of having. I know the seed of life that I planted in your heart, My dear one, when you turned to me in repentance and forsook your own ways, yielding to My grace and love.

Do not ever believe that at any time I become impatient with you or act out of frustration toward you; My compassion for you is without limit and My loving kindness will never run out.
Turn to Me in every situation – I always welcome you. Seek Me for every answer – I will never rebuke you for disturbing Me. Obey Me in the small things – I will reward you lavishly.
You are the apple of My eye – I will cover and protect you. You are the delight of My heart – I will abide with you and never abandon or forsake you. Test Me, and trust Me, for I never change, and I am sufficient to see you through all that I guide you into.

Minister to Me, My child. Offer the sacrifices of praise and worship. Give the wave offering of your joy and pour out the drink offering of your strength. Make the burnt offering of your will, your understanding, your intentions, your plans, hopes, and dreams as a sweet-smelling savor to Me.
Minister first to the Lord your God so that you may be purified and cleansed, equipped for every good work, emptied of yourself so that you may be filled with My glory, which is My truth and My power. Then, and only then, will you be able to serve living water and the bread of life to My people.
There are many who “minister” to the people, giving them what is popular and pleasing, but it does not mature or strengthen them; those “ministers” have not come before Me or been sent by Me, for they are serving their own purposes.
You must daily present yourself to Me before you can be sent out from Me as a servant in My name to those who will be the heirs of salvation. Learn of Me by walking with Me so you can represent Me in the truth and the power of My love which laid down My life for the sake of others.

John 1:12 But as many as received Him, to them gave He power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on His name:

Hebrews 12:5 And you have forgotten that word of encouragement that addresses you as sons: “My son, do not make light of the Lord’s discipline, and do not lose heart when He rebukes you…

1 Peter 2:9 But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light;

John 14:12 Very truly I tell you, whoever believes in Me will do the works I have been doing, and they will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father.

Philippians 4:7 And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

Psalm 112:6-7 Surely he will never be shaken; a righteous man will be remembered forever. He will have no fear of bad news; his heart is steadfast, trusting in the LORD.

May you realize the extent of His love toward you in that He personally retrieved you from the certain destiny your choices invoked, not with far-off weapons, or even hand-to-hand combat, but by interposing Himself between you and the enemy rushing to destroy you. For without defense, He accepted the blows, endured the attacks, received the hate, and embraced the death that was designated for, and earned by, you in your enmity toward, and rebellion against, He Who is your Creator, and Who desires to be your closest, only, and most intimate Friend, Lover, and Husband. Hosea 1

May you glimpse the reality of God’s plan for you in all the circumstances that come your way, that you may realize how graciously God is planning to do you good in everything He arranges for you, whether turning your previously rich environment to dry hostile surroundings, or isolating you within prickly constraints from those who were once close confidantes and trusted companions. For all things have become new and all relationships must be recreated through Him when you are betrothed to your Lord and Master, your Creator and Source, your Redeemer and Deliverer. Hosea 2

May you grow in your response to the grace and mercy shown you by God as He speaks tenderly to you in the dry and lonely times, and may you no longer strive against His restraints as your Lord, but be drawn into His love as your Husband, developing trust, increasing reliance, extending dependence, as He betroths you to Him forever, in righteousness and justice, in love and compassion, so that as He betroths you in faithfulness, you will acknowledge Him in love. Hosea 2

May you say to Him, ‘You are my God,’ as He confirms that you are His own by planting you for Himself, sowing His blessings in your life, and no longer scattering them out of your reach, as He grants the desire of the heavens to give rain in response to the desire of the earth to nourish the seeds which will flourish and yield to you the grain, the new wine and the oil that will make you prosper and be an effective helpmate, beloved of the Lord.

I am calling you to faithful service in My kingdom, My dear one. I have tested you and examined you, and I have found you to be a trustworthy servant who desires to do My will. I have assignments for you to carry out, but I know that in your heart, you hesitate. You have grown to know My provision and trust My power, but you still doubt yourself.
My child, I don’t call you to perfect service; I call you to willing, obedient, faithful service. I call you to service with ME. My Spirit will make your work effective, just as He makes your prayers acceptable. I long to have you work alongside Me that you and I may know the fellowship of being co-laborers.
Step out in faith; see the fruits of obedience and know the joy of fellowship with Me.

May you adhere to, trust in, and rely on the fact that Jesus is the Christ, the Messiah, the Anointed One of God, for all who do have been born again of God, and every one who loves the Father also loves His off-spring. The way that you come to understand and recognize that you love His children is when you love God and are mindful of His precepts and teachings, keeping His ordinances, which are not irksome, burdensome, oppressive or grievous, since when you are born of God by having faith that Jesus is the Son of God, your faith gives you the victory that overcomes the world. 1 John 5

May you accept the testimony of God as true which He has given through the Spirit, Who bears witness, about His Son, that you may bear His testimony in your heart, which is that God has given you eternal life in His Son. 1 John 5

May you have the confidence in approaching God that if you ask anything in agreement with His own plan, He hears you, and knowing He hears you, whatever you ask, you know with settled assurance that He has granted to you as your present possession what you asked of Him. 1 John 5

May you know with absolute confidence that anyone born of God does not deliberately and knowingly practice committing sin, for the One Who was begotten of God, Christ’s divine presence within you, carefully watches over and protects you, preserving you against evil, and the wicked one does not lay hold of, or get a grip on, you. 1 John 5

May you actively keep your mind focused on the things of God and persistently delight yourself in His Word that you may stay away from anything and everything that would occupy the place in your heart due to God, from any sort of substitute for Him that would take first place in your life. 1 John 5

Proverbs 22:4 Humility is the fear of the Lord; its wages are riches and honor and life.

Philippians 2:13 For God is working in you, giving you the desire and the power to do what pleases Him.

May you not be surprised when authorities and principalities in the world exalt and magnify themselves above values and principles, norms and guidelines, even above the Word of God, and succeed in being accepted by many, for God works with willing vessels, and a time of wrath must be completed, for what has been determined must take place. Daniel 11

May you take notice when the time of distress occurs, that God will defend and protect, shield and cover, deliver and redeem His people, all whose names are found written in His book. Daniel 11

May you be like those who are wise and shine like the brightness of the heavens, and like those who lead many to righteousness, glowing like the stars for ever and ever. Daniel 12

May you wait expectantly and earnestly, enduring without wavering beyond the period of tribulation, that you may be purified, made spotless and refined, increasing in wisdom and understanding, though none of the wicked will comprehend. Daniel 12

May you diligently test the doctrines and teachings you are given, not by man’s carnal reasoning or the world’s unsanctified wisdom, but by the wisdom which comes down from the Father, as found in the Scriptures, testified to by the Spirit, and confirmed through the Body as exemplified and manifested by a lifestyle that demonstrates the love of God, which sent Jesus Christ, Who came in the flesh, to make man saveable. 1 John 4

May you be confident that the spirit of antichrist, which influences people to deny the divinity of Jesus Christ and reject divine authority, has been overcome and defeated because the One Who is in you is greater that he who is in the world. 1 John 4

May you love one another, for love springs from God, and everyone who loves others is born of God and is coming progressively to know and understand God – to perceive and recognize and get a better and clearer knowledge of Him. 1 John 4

Turn to Me, My child, in all things. Come to Me for comfort, find in Me wisdom for the day, receive from Me the provision I have promised daily. I long to embrace you in My arms and let you find the blessings I have prepared for you.
Spend time alone in your heart with Me, My dear one, and let your thoughts become focused on Me. I have much to tell you, and you have much to learn of Me. Set aside the cares and concerns that distract you and hear Me speaking encouragement and strength into your life as I express My love for you.
You must seek Me with your whole heart, focused and eager, because that which I have prepared for you is hidden. Do not be discouraged by this or disheartened, for that which you seek is not hidden from you, but it is hidden for you.
As you look for Me and follow My footprints, hearing My whispers, drawing close and recognizing My fragrance, you will encounter those things which speak to you of the depth and width and length and height of My love.
Do not settle for the crumbs and handfuls that others share from the abundance I have given them, but persist in your pursuit and receive all that is yours from My hand.
Do not be content to only hear someone else tell you how much I love you, but continually seek Me until you hear the full expression of My love for you from My own lips.
Although the path is challenging because the world will place brambles and thorns in your way, the flesh will put stumbling stones and rocks on your path, and the enemy will flood the way to drag you down and mire your progress, still I am with you and will make the way for you. Turn always to Me.

May you understand in humility and gratitude that God loved you first and sent His Son, Jesus Christ, as an atoning sacrifice for your sins so that you might live because of His work and love one another, relying on the love God has for you, so that His love is made complete. 1 John 4

May you live in the calm certainty of God’s love for you, and know God’s love in your life for others, having no fear of the day of judgment, for His perfect love drives out any fear of punishment, freeing you to love God and love others, giving to their needs just as God has given to your needs. 1 John 4

May you be wise in the Lord and instruct many, giving understanding and insight to endure tribulation and withstand persecution. May you know that the harm the enemy intends for destruction and evil will be turned by God to good, bringing refinement and purification. He will have a spotless people, being cleansed until the appointed time, which will come, for the Lord has declared it. Daniel 11

May you realize that the Son of God appeared to destroy the devil’s work, for the person who makes a practice of sinning is of the devil, but the person who has allowed the Word of God to reside in them cannot live a persistently sinful life. All things are become new for them; they are a new creation, having been born into the family of God. 1 John 3

May you love one another, avoiding the error of Cain, who murdered his brother, Abel, because his own choices were selfish. His actions were influenced by the enemy, who sought to kill and destroy the righteousness that was in Abel through his love for God. 1 John 3

As your caring Father, I anticipate lavishing My gifts upon you, gifts that exceed your expectations, presents that are greater and richer than your wildest imaginings. However, just as not all things are age-appropriate for a specific child, nor is every tool useful in a given job, and neither does every piece of jewelry compliment the chosen ensemble, even so not all that you wish for and desire will be given immediately.
I delight in giving you the desires of your heart, and I know what is required for you to receive and enjoy what you desire in a safe and responsible manner. Understand that when you seek Me for what you desire, I will start preparing you and positioning you to receive it.
Even as you would not give a firearm to your child until they have shown the needed responsibility in other areas and successfully complete a safety training course, so I will take you through circumstances to bring up and reveal what is in your heart, allowing you to give it to Me to remove, that you may operate in My love rather than in your pride.

May you lay down your life for your fellow believers, as Jesus Christ laid down His life for you, not merely with words but in truth with actions, not because of merit or worth but from mercy and love, for this is how we set our conscience at rest in His presence whenever we are condemned, for God is greater than our feelings, knowing everything. 1 John 3

May you be obedient to God’s command to believe in the name of His Son, Jesus Christ, and to love one another as He commanded you. Those who obey His commands live in Him and He in them. You will live free from any condemnation from your conscience, having confidence before God and receiving from Him anything you ask, because you are obedient and pleasing to Him.

My treasured one, I have provided you a wardrobe filled with garments. They bear many colors and styles, woven in beautiful patterns and made from eternal fabrics. They are My gift to you, My loved one. Come, enjoy being clothed in them for they are individually handwoven, custom-made for you by Me.
This raiment represents My nature, by which you will bear My image in the world. My strength under-girds you, yet is gentle and easily persuaded. My peace stands firm against all efforts to disturb it. My salvation guards your feet from stumbling or slipping as you walk in My paths and work in My fields. My righteousness is a robe that covers you entirely, embroidered with My grace and mercy and stating to all who see you that you are Mine.
You have not created these garments, nor have you earned them; they are My gift to you. I took on your nature of flesh in order to live and die sinlessly, freeing you from your debt, breaking the power of death, hell, and the grave; I willingly shed My unblemished perfection in heaven, and gladly received the scars of the price I paid for you, My dearest treasure.
In like manner, I have granted you the privilege to partake of My glory and bear the loveliness of My nature, living in the majesty of My name, for I have named you “Accepted” and “Fairest among all” and “Blessed.”

May you receive the truth that He appeared so that He might take away your sins and, in fact, in Him is no sin; thus no one who lives in Him makes a habit of sinning repeatedly, or persists in an on-going lifestyle of sin, for those who deliberately choose to sin and elect to remain in their sins have neither seen Him nor known Him. 1 John 3
