Job Requirements: Humility and Willingness

I will direct you and move you and fill you.

Meditation Thought: “Saul, also known as Paul, was filled with the Holy Spirit.” (Acts 13:9)

“Hear and obey, my child (mentally insert your name here), for I would use you to establish My Name on earth as it is in heaven. Be humble and willing – no other requirement do I need, for I will direct you and move you and fill you as the container, mobile and sturdy, to bring nourishment to the hungry, drink to the thirsty, hope to the desperate. Those who need you care not about your appearance or your method; they desire only the fulfilling of their needs: the provisions for body, the inspiration and hope needed to sustain the soul. Be My vehicle of mercy and provision, letting Me guide you where you are most needed to lavish My loving ministries through your own unique properties and capacity.”

Heavenly Physics

By this rope can I make a little movement in heaven, and swing you in great arcs to My work on earth. Only if you have firm hold of your end of the rope will this maneuver work!

Meditation Thought: “To the person who pleases him, God gives wisdom, knowledge and joy.” (Ecclesiastes 2:26)

A message perceived from God the Father:
There is a connecting rope being woven between us that grows stronger with each strand that is added: each word of praise, each obedient act, each loving ministry, each trusting thought takes a strand from My storehouse of spiritual building materials and weaves it into the rope.

By this rope can I make a little movement in heaven, and swing you in great arcs to My work on earth. Only if you have firm hold of your end of the rope will this maneuver work! If you take your hands off, and are distracted into using your hands in pursuits Satan would tempt you to, the rope dangles uselessly. You must keep your mind occupied with My Word, your eyes occupied with My will, your hands occupied with My works. Your hands can cling to the rope that binds us and at the same time hand it to others to be used to rescue them from the snare of the enemy. Thus is My Will done on earth as it is in heaven.

Healing the Body

Though we can learn from others who have gone before us, we must play our role alone. We must make the effort to learn what we need to know, to do what must be done, to endure what must be endured.

Meditation Thought: “An excellent wife who can find?
    She is far more precious than jewels.
11 The heart of her husband trusts in her,
    and he will have no lack of gain.
12 She does him good, and not harm,
    all the days of her life. (Proverbs 31:10-12)

“Bone of my bone, flesh of my flesh” (see Genesis 2:23), why do we not have perfect health? The grafts to not always “take” the first time – the moving of one part of the body to heal the injury of another part (i.e. the Body of Christ; see Romans 12) . We must, when sin diseases the Body, each do our particular job required to work together to repair the ravages of the sin.

At one time we are the patient and must patiently endure the operation;
At another time we are the doctor, actually moving and causing change in some area:
At another time we are the nurse, caring for the patient;
Again, we may be the friend who ministers with our support and love and encouragement;
Perhaps we are a relative, feeling the pain deeply, but unable to stop it from happening, for the pain is part of the cure.

And so the process goes on, age after age, and though we can learn from others who have gone before us, we must play our role alone. If we are to be competent in promoting healing, we must make the effort to learn what we need to know, to do what must be done, to endure what must be endured.

And the strength and courage to continue on lies in the faith that the healing is possible because there walked on earth One who was in perfect health, without the disease of sin, and He promised that if we believe in Him we shall do the works that He did (see John 14:12).

What He did in his physical manifestation on earth, He does today through the new Body which was transplanted as the old body was crucified on the cross. The new Body is not free from disease, but in the healing of the disease that invades it, the Father is glorified.

Road Signs for You

You must move yourself from sign to sign, from Word to Word as the Spirit reveals the meaning to you.

Meditation Thought: “Every word of God proves true; he is a shield to those who take refuge in him.” (Proverbs 30:5)

“Pray for My Spirit to illuminate the signs that are along the highways of the world, that you might come swiftly and surely to the palace of the Kingdom. The Words have been placed before you, and you see some of them clearly, some only dimly, as at a distance. The Spirit will bring more Words into focus, guiding you along the proper roads to do My Works which I have arranged for you to do, that you and others may rejoice in the fulness of My love, and see My glory. You must move yourself from sign to sign, from Word to Word as the Spirit reveals the meaning to you.

Transformation Particle by Particle

The joy of its progression of success from highly diseased to emerging health is to the glory of God and to the peace of His child.

Meditation Thought: “But he, full of the Holy Spirit… saw the glory of God…”

Be filled with the Spirit and see the glory of God. The glory of God will transform your life with a replacement of righteousness for sin, love for hate, patience for impatience, joy for bitterness, knowledge for ignorance, truth for delusion, wisdom for foolishness, power for weakness, tolerance for scorn and light for darkness. Truly the power of the Spirit gives birth to a new creature, as the old is buried in the graveyard of sin. The new creature is born of the righteousness of belief in – and commitment to – the resurrection of our Lord and the power thereby released to forgive our sins.

The mind, the will, the heart – once exposed to the knowledge of this act of God’s grace – and once accepting and acting on this knowledge – are transformed, bit by bit, from the particles containing sin, to cleansed particles containing the purity of the Father as transplanted by Jesus Christ, the Devine Physician. Thus is a sin-filled person cleansed of the disease, and given new health of the inheritance of this image of the Father. The transplanting operation never ceases in the bottle of the world, but the joy of its progression of success from highly diseased to emerging health is to the glory of God and to the peace of His child.

Life Construction

Every day you choose a stone, and you select a place to use it. It is difficult, once the stone is placed, to go back later to correct an improper placement. Therefore, keep the power of the Spirit operating constantly in order to place each stone where it will enhance the completed building of your life.

Meditation Thought: “Jesus is ‘the stone you builders rejected,
    which has become the cornerstone.'” (Acts 4:11)

Just as a builder chooses a stone and its placement in the building being constructed, so we, too, choose the ‘stones’ (decisions, choices, relationships, etc.) we use to build our lives.

“If you will yield your will to Me, I will inspire in your mind and in your heart the knowledge of the Spirit concerning the worldly. The stones you view through only your human eyes will never appear as they truly are, and therefore you will misuse them. It is only when you, through obedience to Me in seeking My will, are enlightened by the x-ray power of the Spirit to know that is inside of the stones, that you can place each stone in its proper place and proper perspective in the building of your life.

Every day you choose a stone, and you select a place to use it. It is difficult, once the stone is placed, to go back later to correct an improper placement. Therefore, keep the power of the Spirit operating constantly in order to place each stone where it will enhance the completed building of your life. The tools of the Kingdom are available for your asking, but if you insist on using the inferior tools of your human judgment and will, they will do you no good.

Do not judge your construction in progress by others’ buildings for each building for each building has a unique function to serve only the requirements of the one who builds it.

Each ideally would be a beautiful monument to the Father, but only by the yielding of free will is this possible. You can yield, you want to yield, and I will help you to yield: consult the plans for your life-building as contained in My Word before you choose a stone. Then pray for the penetration of the Spirit to reveal the particular characteristics of that stone. Observe the circumstances in your life to determine the placement of the stone. Give thanks to Me that it is in place and trust that, whether it appears right to you, that it will be right when your building is complete.”

An Avalanche of Love, Mercy & Blessing

I do not raise My hand to strike, but to bless.

Meditation Thought: “…what I do have I give to you. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk!” (Acts 3:6)

We ask for what we think is possible – and God gives us the “impossible” gift that we desire from the depth of our souls. Praise His Holy Name!

Message perceived as from the Father:

“I have the joys and the riches of love, mercy and blessing ready to pour out in an avalanche to My people: My dear children who know Me and My dear children who do not yet know that they are Mine.

You – yes, you, as My obedient child, must release the plug that is holding back this avalanche. You must chip away at this plug of evil embraced, willfulness pursued, My commandments ignored – you are guilty of these acts, but you know how to expiate your guilt through confession and a plea for forgiveness. Practice this more diligently, and teach those who are ignorant.

The more surely you follow the path of your Savior, the more surely you learn all that He knows: the more completely you will be obedient to Me, and the more quickly My avalanche of love, mercy and blessing may be released. Tarry not, for the time is short to do My work, and My beloved children must be brought to the realization that they are Mine, and being Mine, they are free from sin, and the pain of sin.

I do not raise My hand to strike, but to bless, and they must come to know this truth to replace Satan’s lie. Thus all can come confidently within the reach of My hand, seeking love, unafraid of reproof. For all who confess on Jesus’ Name come to Me as pure, as obedient, and as pleasing to Me as My Son himself.”

Wow!

To be Successful: Follow

Without truth you will live in fear.

Meditation Thought:  “Follow me.” (John 21:19)

Message perceived as coming from Jesus:

“I came that you might have hope and not despair. Look up from the disappointment, the hurt, the confusion, to see My loving Presence to take you with Me to the revelation of the Father’s goodness and mercy. No person can stand alone, for people were created for fellowship with their Father and their brothers and sisters. Only through the exercise of interaction with all of the family can each person grow into the pure image of the Father. For the Father reveals through the Spirit, and the Spirit reveals through believers, and believers receive the power of the Spirit by following Me.

If you do not follow Me, I cannot reveal the truth to you. Without truth you will live in fear, with truth you live in the power of the Living Spirit to overcome fear. I am the Way, the Truth and the Life, and death has no power over Me nor over those who follow Me. To Mine is the resurrection and the hope, for the death of the body is the birth of the beauty of the spirit: the spirit released from the sins, the doubts, and the guilts which the body bound around it.

Follow Me – not at a distance, but taking My hand, that you may feel Me surely, guiding every step, to bring you surely and quickly to the joy of the Father’s glory shining over you.

Follow Me to your rightful home, for only I know the way: let us move together as one in purpose, eager to take each step in harmony and love knowing that the Father awaits our arrival with open arms and open heart.”

Insider Information

The Word in your mind, the love in your heart, and the Presence in your soul will carry you through the world on wings of peace and joy.

Meditation Thought: “For these things took place that the Scripture might be fulfilled” (John 19:36)

“The Word precedes the deed, and the spiritual shall evolve into the physical. Look to the realm of the spirit through the ingesting of the Word of Life that you may be blessed by being in harmony with the creation of the physical from the spiritual – you will have ‘insider information’.

It is the duty of my children to learn the laws of the land in order that they may obey them, and thus be protected by them rather than imprisoned by them. The law in your mind, the love in your heart, and the Presence in your soul will carry you through the world on wings of peace and joy.”

Far Superior to Self-help

With Me available to you at all times, you can put aside fear, worry, procrastination and negative thinking.

Meditation Thought: “For I have given you an example, that you also should do just as I have done to you.” (John 13:15)

“I have given you your homework – the working out of your life according to My life in human form. But I come home with you to help you with your work – in the form of the Spirit I am available 24 hours a day to serve you, to teach you, to guide you.

Heed Me, use Me – for that purpose I came: to teach you in love the ways of the Father that you might rejoice in the ecstasy of glorifying Him in the most appropriate and comfortable ways for you. With Me available to you at all times, you can put aside fear, worry, procrastination and negative thinking. For every problem you encounter, big or small, is solved by either the Word activated by your faith and moved upon by you, or by direct appeal for My help. I want you to learn well the ways of the Father so that His ways become your ways, but you need Me with you always, for only I came without sin and in complete obedience, and only I can keep you using the Father’s ways in ever increasing effectiveness and power.”
