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.”

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.”

Peace & Joy Reign

Wherever you go with My Spirit and My Word, shall the scene be changed, lives be transformed, glory be given to Me, and peace and joy reign in willing hearts.

Meditation Thought: “But when you pray, go into your room and shut the door and pray to your Father who is in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will reward you.” (Matthew 6:6)

“Concentrate on My Word, and you shall know My will. For the Spirit gives life to the Word, and the Living Word gives life to you. The seed of your faith shall grow into the manifestation of the works of the Spirit so large that the works will dominate the landscape of your presence. Wherever you go with My Spirit and My Word, shall the scene be changed, lives be transformed, glory be given to Me, and peace and joy reign in willing hearts.

Go, obey My command, and take My Spirit and My Word unto the world.”

My Prayer: “Yes, Lord! May it be so!”

Rise

Do not attempt to burrow deeper within yourself to escape the cold rain or hot sun – but rise to the surface, that the water of the Spirit and the light of the Father and the tilling of the Son may enable you to grow.

Meditation Thought: “What is sown is perishable; what is raised is imperishable. It is sown in dishonor; it is raised in glory. It is sown in weakness; it is raised in power.” (1 Corinthians 15:42-43)

The seed is tiny, vulnerable, subject to many dangers. But as it changes and grows, it becomes more resistant to what would destroy it, and eventually becomes very strong.

And so must you choose to allow the good of the Kingdom to nourish you after you die to self, which is the beginning of the seed changing into the form which was originally intended as a mature manifestation.

Do not attempt to burrow deeper within yourself to escape the cold rain or hot sun – but rise to the surface, that the water of the Spirit and the light of the Father and the tilling of the Son may enable you to grow, to thrive and to be the beautiful plant to be used for healing, for nourishing, and to be fulfilling not only the purpose for which you were crated, but fulfilling the purpose for which those whom you are healing and nourishing were created.

The Constitution of the Kingdom

To know the love and power of God in my life is wonderful for me, but only if I pass along the grandeur of it in the living out of my days will it bring glory to the Father and fulfillment of the purpose of the Holy Spirit.

Meditation Thought: “The one who speaks in a tongue edifies himself; but the one who prophesies edifies the church.” 1 Corinthians 14:4)

There is no limit on the love of God or the knowledge of God. There is no limit on the variety of ways of God expressing His love and His knowledge.

We are to be so in tune with the will of God that we can know, moment by moment, the manner in which He desires to express His love and His knowledge to us and through us. For He desires to edify (instruct and improve) us and the church, not one or the other, for one is part of the other, as both are part of God.

The kingdom of God is not divided – the Kingdom is unified – unified, but always in a state of flux – as each part is changed as it opens itself to new revelation of love and knowledge, so it affects another part, and the Kingdom, though still the same, is also changed. The original constitution of the Kingdom remains constant, but the living out of the expression of that constitution is unique for every creature and for every moment of time and for every place and for every situation.

To edify oneself through prayer – either in known language or language of the spirit, through words or through deeds, through ministering or being the recipient of ministering – whatever the expression of the edification of the individual, it must be translated into the edification of the whole Kingdom, in one form or another, at some time, if it is to fulfill its total purpose and meaning.

To know the love and power of God in my life is wonderful for me, but only if I pass along the grandeur of it in the living out of my days will it bring glory to the Father and fulfillment of the purpose of the Holy Spirit. And only when the translation is made by the power of the indwelling Spirit, from individual to corporate, is my environment changed into what I need to fulfill the purpose for which the Father created me: both for the fulfillment of my own purpose, and for the goal of the church as the Body: the reconciling of the world to the Father.

Love Is… and Is Not

Love is delight in giving, discipline, reaching out, accepting love from another, trusting God.

Meditation Thought: “Love is patient and kind… rejoices in right… bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.” (1 Corinthians 13: 4,6,7 paraphrased)

Love is taking delight in giving, not receiving. Love is discipline to do as you know you aught to do – even when you don’t want to. Love is reaching out to offer help despite knowing that you may get your hand bitten instead of shaken. Love is acting according to God’s will, not self-will. The resulting clear conscience is a catalyst which makes it easier to express even more love, in more ways.

Love is accepting love from another – not ignoring it if it isn’t from someone you don’t really care about, not rejecting it because of a previous hurt, not questioning it if you are puzzled by it, and not being fearful of it because you have feelings of shame and guilt and these might have to be put out in the open.

Love is trusting God, who created us and who is Love, to overcome any problems (as we see the situation) that might result from our stepping out in faith to love.

All. Yes, All.

All must have the opportunity of knowing that the way back is known and I desire that they come.

Meditation Thought: “Now to each one the manifestation of the Spirit is given for the common good.” (1 Corinthians 12:7)

“Take the direction and power of My Spirit and embrace it, absorb it, allow it to permeate every part of your being – spiritual, mental, emotional – yield to My Spirit, for by being pliable you will be conformed to My Image by My Spirit. As you are conformed to My Image, you expand My love to the world, you minister to My children, you radiate peace and joy and understanding. And so it is with everyone who seeks My will, who desires to move forward in the journey of faith, in the fellowship of the Father, the Son, the Holy Spirit and the Body.

My Spirit is manifested in infinite ways, through infinite creatures, in infinite circumstances – but all for one purpose: to reconcile every one of My beloved children to Me. Be My helper – seek out My lost lambs, and bring them back to Me. For until each is sought, and each is found, I am not content. All may not choose to follow you back to Me – but all must have the opportunity of knowing that the way back is known and I desire that they come.”

Constantly & Enthusiastically

To be humble is to become teachable. If we are teachable, God will teach us gently, thoroughly, and swiftly.

Meditation Thought: “But if we indeed judge ourselves truly, we should not be judged.” (1 Corinthians 11:31)

“Judge truly”. This is possible only in light of God’s revelation of Truth to us, that we may compare ourselves to the Pure Eternal Truth: the image of the Father, as exhibited by the Son, taught by the Holy Spirit, and revealed through the Word.

If we are willing to risk comparing ourselves to this Truth, we become humble – and to be humble is to become teachable. If we are teachable, God will teach us gently, thoroughly, and swiftly, thus fulfilling His purposes for us more readily.

However, if we deceive ourselves, either by comparing ourselves to something other than Pure, Complete Truth, or by mis-evaluating our own selves as we compare ourselves to the Truth, this constitutes rebellion in the refusing to humble ourselves enough to seek a true evaluation. And rebellion against God is the – willingly or unwillingly – with knowledge or in ignorance – to join in Satan’s plans to make us allies and to alienate us from the Father.

Thus we must constantly, and enthusiastically ingest the Word, pray for the Father’s will and guidance, seek to know every facet of Jesus Christ, and prepare ourselves to be worthy containers for holding the Spirit if we are to be competent judges of ourselves.
